Rian Johnson unpeels ‘Glass Onion,’ his ‘Knives Out’ sequel
TORONTO (AP) — Three years after premiering “Knives Out” at the Toronto International Film Festival, Rian Johnson returned to the scene of the crime to debut his much-anticipated whodunit sequel, “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.”
When Johnson introduced the film to the eager Princess of Wales Theatre audience on Saturday night, he didn’t calmly stroll out on the stage with a polite wave to the crowd. He sprinted.
“Are you guys ready to have a good time?” yelled Johnson. “Are you ready for a fun whodunit?”
The roar of the crowd made it clear that, yes, they, too, could hardly wait. The “Knives Out” films almost perfectly bookend the last three pandemic years; the original “Knives Out” had premiered in the same theatre almost exactly three years prior, where Johnson’s modern spin on a retro genre more or less blew the roof off.
“It’s surreal,” said Johnson, the 48-year-old director of “The Last Jedi” and “Looper,” in an interview ahead of the premiere of “Glass Onion.” “It’s so strange thinking of the 30 years that have gone by in the three years since we played a movie at Toronto.”
If “Knives Out” bridged a long-ago movie world — a cocktail of eccentric murder suspects hounded by a colorful sleuth — with contemporary issues of class and ethnicity, “Glass Onion” had the task of collapsing pre-pandemic moviegoing with today’s still unfolding recovery. The film, set in early 2020, starts with characters in masks and Daniel Craig’s Benoit Blanc in lockdown — soaking in his bathtub, mostly — and hungry for a new case.
“Part of the real pleasure of it for me is having a whodunit that’s not a period piece but set in modern America and that fully engages with whatever’s on people’s minds at the time — hopefully in a way that’s still completely encased within an entertainment,” said Johnson. “I hope we pulled that off again.”
The boisterous audience response and glowing reviews out of Toronto suggested that Johnson, who also wrote the film, did just that. While the less said the better about the many-layered plot of “Glass Onion,” it revolves around tech billionaire Miles Bron (Edward Norton), who invites a small group of friends to his private island (much of the film was shot in Greece) for a murder mystery party. The cast includes a standout Janelle Monáe, Dave Bautista, Madelyn Cline, Kathryn Hahn, Kate Hudson, Jessica Henwick and Leslie Odom Jr.
Johnson juggles themes of truth and stupidity with echoes of today’s American politics, and also takes a satirical approach to tech moguls. In the film, Bron considers his inner circle a gang of “disrupters.”
That will strike many viewers as either fitting or ironic considering that “Glass Onion,” unlike “Knives Out,” is a movie for Netflix, a self-styled Hollywood disrupter that over the past decade has radically altered the movie business. After “Knives Out” became one of 2019’s biggest hits, grossing $311 million worldwide against a $40 million budget, Netflix swooped in to pay $450 million for two sequels.
That’s put particular focus on the release of “Glass Onion,” a likely box-office success if it were released widely in theaters, at a time when the film industry is grappling with the equilibrium between streaming and theaters. While Netflix often gives its most prominent films several weeks in select theaters before streaming, the streamer and exhibitors discussed a wider release for “Glass Onion.” Currently, that’s not expected; Netflix will stream the film beginning Dec. 23 after a theatrical run beginning in November.
“This movie, above everything else, is designed to be a good time with a big crowd of folks in a theater,” said Johnson.
As far as the specific theatrical rollout, Johnson said it’s still being worked out. “To be decided,” he said.
“I want as many people to see the movie in theaters as possible,” said Johnson. “Having said that, I know a lot of people discovered ‘Knives Out’ with their families at home once it was streaming. But this movie is so designed to be seen with a crowd in a theater. It’s less like ‘Top Gun’ where it’s about the big experience of the screen and the sound, and it’s more about being surrounded by people who are going to be having as much fun as you.”
“My goal is to hopefully have it be so if you want to see it in a theater, you can,” added Johnson. “But we’re still TBA.”
Johnson, who emerged with the 2005 neo-noir “Brick,” with Joseph Gordon-Levitt, said he’s not so far removed from his independent roots that he isn’t happy with simply having the backing of a major distributor.
“As a form of self-defense, I have a serenity that if you make a good movie, you put it out there and people will find it,” said Johnson. “At the end of the day, you just have to reach a place of Zen because everything is changing so quickly.”
Johnson has again picked a movie title that relates not just to the storyline of his movie but that corresponds with a notable rock song. (Radiohead has their own “Knives Out.”)
“I honestly just searched through my music library for songs having to do with glass,” said Johnson, chuckling. “With apologies to Blonde, this was my favorite glass-centric song. The title has an oddness to it that reminds me of ’70s paperbacks or even some Agatha Christie titles. There’s a pleasant oddball-ness to calling a big movie ‘Glass Onion.’”
In a parallel universe, Johnson might have spent the last seven years working on “Star Wars.” Around the release of “The Last Jedi” — which remains a groundbreaking if contentious entry in the “Star Wars” canon — Johnson was tapped to develop a trilogy. Though there has yet to be any publicly announced plans for that, Johnson said that door hasn’t necessarily closed.
But he’s also having an awful lot of fun making “Knives Out” mysteries. There will be at least one more. At the premiere, Craig said: “I’d work with this man for the rest of my life.”
“I had the best experience of my life making ‘The Last Jedi.’ I don’t know if I’ll ever top it professionally. And I really hope that I get to do it again. I hope to come back and do more ‘Star Wars’ at some point,” said Johnson. “But it’s pretty fun having something that’s entirely our sandbox.”

The Justice Department has subpoenaed Stephen Miller, who served as a senior White House adviser under former President Trump, in its investigation into the events surrounding the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack, The New York Times reported, citing people briefed on the matter.
Miller was one of more than a dozen people connected to the former president who received subpoenas this week from a federal grand jury seeking information related to Trump’s Save America PAC and alleged plans to submit slates of fake electors in an effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election, according to the Times.
The federal grand jury also subpoenaed former White House political director Brian Jack, per the outlet.
Trump’s Save America PAC was formed days after the 2020 election was called for President Biden as the former president fundraised on his unfounded claims that the election was stolen.
Several junior and mid-level aides who served on Trump’s campaign or in the White House, Ivanka Trump’s chief of staff and the chief financial officer of Trump’s 2020 campaign have also received subpoenas seeking information related to the Save America PAC, the Times reported earlier this week.
The investigation is one of many Trump is currently facing.
The former president and the Justice Department are currently tied up in a legal battle related to the department’s investigation into documents recovered from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence.

SIDNEY, Ohio (WDTN) – Sidney Schools honored first responders on Monday, 21 years after the September 11th terror attacks. Organizers say this is an important event to teach students about that tragic day and recognize those who stand on the front lines to protect us every day.
People woke up the morning of the 12th of September in 2001, coming together in a time of tragedy. 21 years later, Sidney Schools is honoring first responders here in Ohio for the work they continue to do in the community, keeping residents safe.
Denny Morrison, Sidney Schools community and family engagement coordinator said, “343 police and first responders lost their lives so we are just trying to let our people here in Sidney know how much we appreciate them and we thank them for all that they have done.”
The high school students made the banners that were on display, and the school program latchkey kids created cards for the first responders. These activities taught children to respect those on the front lines.
Morrison said, “Showing them we want to respect, we want to be thankful for the people that every single day are putting their lives on the line for us.”
Jason Truesdale, the assistant fire chief at the Sidney Fire Department, is very honored to be recognized by the students and staff. He was on duty as a firefighter on that day and remembers it vividly.
He said, “Still to this day — to see people still remember the brothers that perished, the 343 members of FDNY — really makes me feel great that the community does stuff like this for the first responders to recognize what we go through day in and day out, but we don’t want to take away from what happened on 9/11.”
Truesdale also said that these events are a great way to meet people in the community and create relationships with other agencies.

(KCAU) — Twenty-two Republican governors, including Florida’s Ron DeSantis and Texas’ Greg Abbott, have sent a letter to President Joe Biden opposing his plans to cancel student loan debt and telling him to withdraw it “immediately.”
The joint letter sent Monday, spearheaded by Iowa’s Kim Reynolds, stated Biden’s plan of $10,000 in debt forgiveness would add $600,000 to taxpayers. The letter claimed that is unfair for the vast majority of taxpayers to pay for loan forgiveness when only 16-17% of Americans have federal student loan debt. They added that the plan would shift the burden of debt from the wealthy to the poor.
The joint letter went on to say that it was the decision of the students to take out loans.
“College may not be the right decision for every American, but for the students who took out loans, it was their decision: able adults and willing borrowers who knowingly agreed to the terms of the loan and consented to taking on debt in exchange for taking classes,” the letter stated. “A high-cost degree is not the key to unlocking the American Dream—hard work and personal responsibility is.”
The governors added that the plan is unfair to those who have already paid off their loans.
They went on to say that the plan will “encourage more student borrowing, incentivize higher tuition rates, and drive-up inflation even further.”
“This doesn’t truly solve the problem and he is not addressing the issue of the rising cost of tuition or lowering interest rates for students.”
Matt Sinovic, the executive director of Progress Iowa, said in a statement that the “burden of student loan debt has forced millions of Americans into terrible choices, like staying in a bad job or delaying needed medical care.”
He added that the student debt forgiveness plan would allow people to spend more and keep the economy going. Sinovic called out Reynolds for her not funding Iowa’s public schools and cutting funding to the state’s public universities.
Biden’s plan calls for thousands of dollars in loan cancellations for individuals who earn less than $125,000 a year, impacting more than 40 million Americans. For those who went to college on Pell Grants, $20,000 will be forgiven. Those who did not receive that grant will see $10,000 in debt forgiveness.
Republican senators, including Chuck Grassley of Iowa, are calling for lawsuits to block Biden’s order forgiving student loan debt, calling it an illegal overreach and abuse of executive power.

The joint letter was signed by governors from Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming.

Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Mark Warner (D-Va.) said on Sunday that a congressional briefing to get a damage assessment of the classified documents potentially mishandled by former President Trump is on hold since a judge allowed a special master to review what was seized.
“My understanding is there is some question because of the special master appointment by the judge in Florida whether they can brief at this point,” Warner told CBS “Face the Nation” moderator Margaret Brennan. “We need clarification on that from that judge as quickly as possible because it is essential that the intelligence community, leadership at least, get a briefing of the damage assessment.”
Warner, along with the committee’s vice chairman, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), have requested more information on the classified documents obtained during an FBI search of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property in August, seeking both the documents seized and an assessment of any national security threats posed by potential mishandling of the information.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon granted Trump’s request last week to appoint an independent special master to review materials seized by the FBI after he raised concerns that some of the information obtained as part of the Justice Department’s investigation into the former president was protected under attorney-client and executive privileges.
Warner said the congressional request in no way sought to hinder the DOJ’s ongoing investigation and sidestepped questions by Brennan about information shared with Congress being more likely to leak to the public.
“I believe that it’s our congressional duty to have that oversight,” Warner said. “Remember what’s at stake here is the fact that if some of these documents involved human intelligence and that information got out, people will die,” noting that years of work could be “destroyed.”
Warner said the Senate Intelligence Committee, which he called the “last functioning bipartisan committee, I believe, in the whole Congress” had an obligation to review any potential security dangers to the country and its intelligence gathering capabilities.
“I do want the damage assessment of what would happen to our ability to protect the nation,” Warner said, adding that the request by the intelligence leaders sought to “assess whether there’s been damage done to our intelligence collection and maintenance of secrets capacity.”

One year into the inception of its e-scooter pilot program, Boulder is looking for feedback from the community on its success.
The input will be used to evaluate the program and determine whether e-scooters contribute to Boulder’s mobility, equity, safety and climate goals, a city news release stated.
Boulder also will analyze usage data and feedback from the past year to make a final determination regarding the future of the program, which deployed 200 e-scooters into east Boulder.
“This program provides an option for community members to get around town without a car and helps work toward the city’s overall climate goal of decreasing greenhouse gas emissions 70% by 2030,” Transportation Senior Planner Dave “DK” Kemp stated in the release. “The last year has been an opportunity for learning and gathering data in this space, and we look forward to hearing community feedback about this initiative.”
About two months into the program, which began in August 2021, Boulder did acknowledge there were some initial safety, aesthetic and parking-related concerns.
The e-scooter pilot program questionnaire is open until Sept. 30. Fill it out online at beheardboulder.org/lime-e-scooters-evaluation.

AP Top 25 Reality Check: Sun Belt gets slighted in rankings
The greatest weekend in the history of Sun Belt football was not enough to push any of the conference’s upstarts into The Associated Press poll.
Marshall and Appalachian State were left at the top of the others receiving votes list in Sunday’s AP Top 25 presented by Regions Bank, the day after the Thundering Herd won at Notre Dame and the Mountaineers beat Texas A&M in College Station.
The Fighting Irish fell all the way out of the rankings with their 0-2 start. The Aggies managed to stick at No. 24, a curious development with App State unranked.
Oregon moved back in at No. 25 after getting blasted out of the rankings in Week 1 by Georgia.
With Georgia moving up to No. 1, and Oregon having no issues against Eastern Washington on Saturday, some voters seemed to be showing deference to the Bulldogs by sticking with the Ducks.
Reality Check would have preferred letting go of those preseason expectations and rewarding the Sun Belt surprises. And maybe North Carolina, too. The Tar Heels have opened the season with two road victories against the Sun Belt, including that wild one in Week 1 at Appalachian State.
Reality Check had a few other quibbles with the voters this week, but not the decision to make Georgia No. 1.
No. 1 Georgia (2-0)
Next: at South Carolina, Saturday.
Reality check: Do not resist. Embrace the Stetson Bennett Heisman Trophy campaign.
Ranked: Perfect.
No. 2 Alabama (2-0)
Next: vs. Louisiana-Monroe, Saturday.
Reality check: RB Jahmyr Gibbs leading the team in catches with 10 and not one player averaging more than 12 yards per catch is just not what the Tide has become accustomed to at receive. Need to get Louisville transfer Tyler Harrell and JoJo Earle back from injury.
Ranked: Fine.
No. 3 Ohio State (2-0)
Next: vs. Toledo, Saturday.
Reality check: WR Marvin Harrison’s last three games dating back to the Rose Bowl: 18 catches, 311 yards and six touchdowns.
Ranked: Just right.
No. 4 Michigan (2-0)
Next: vs. UConn, Saturday.
Reality check: The question voters face at this point in the Top 25 is stick with highly ranked preseason teams that have blown out pushovers or push teams that have faced tougher tests toward the top.
Ranked: It’s OK to take this approach.
No. 5 Clemson (2-0)
Next: vs. Louisiana Tech, Saturday.
Reality check: We’ll see about the offense, but the Tigers’ defense seems to be as ferocious as advertised behind LB Trenton Simpson.
Ranked: Still seems high.
No. 6 Oklahoma (2-0)
Next: at Nebraska, Saturday.
Reality check: The start of QB Dillon Gabriel’s Oklahoma career has been splendid: 70% completions, five TDs, no picks, 10.4 yards per pass.
Ranked: Same as above.
No. 7 Southern California (2-0)
Next: vs. Fresno State, Saturday.
Reality check: Trojans have 11 takeaways and nine sacks. The plan appears to be boom-or-bust on that side of the ball, but if 5 1/2 turnovers per game is what it takes for USC this is going to be a wild ride.
Ranked: Trojans are definitely top-10 most entertaining.
No. 8 Oklahoma State (2-0)
Next: vs. Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Saturday.
Reality check: Fifth-year WR Braydon Johnson, back after missing last year with an injury, has quickly emerged as Oklahoma State’s latest deep threat with 10 catches for 214 yards.
Ranked: Maybe a touch high.
No. 9 Kentucky (2-0)
Next: vs. Youngstown State, Saturday.
Reality check: The SEC’s Big Ten team made a beautiful mess out of Florida to earn an early-season promotion.
Ranked: Sure, why not ninth?
No. 10 Arkansas (2-0)
Next: vs. Missouri State, Saturday.
Reality check: Two weeks in, no team more impressive relative to its competition simply because the Razorbacks have played real competition each week.
Ranked: Too low.
No. 11 Michigan State (2-0)
Next: at Washington, Saturday.
Reality check: Spartans have blown out two MAC opponents, which won’t win them any trophies but it’s better than not blowing out two MAC opponents.
Ranked: Little high.
No. 12 BYU (2-0)
Next: at No. 25 Oregon, Saturday.
Reality check: Be nice to get WRs Puka Nacua and Gunner Romney back from injuries for the trip to Oregon, but it’s still iffy.
Ranked: Little low.
No. 13 Miami (2-0)
Next: at No. 25 Texas A&M, Saturday.
Reality check: Against two overmatched opponents, one encouraging sign: 2.25 yards per rush allowed. Miami has been pretty soft against the run in recent years. Let’s see if the improvement holds.
Ranked: Too high.
No. 14 Utah (1-1)
Next: vs. San Diego State, Saturday.
Reality check: Utes took out a boatload of frustration on poor Southern Utah after the Florida loss.
Ranked: Too high. Can’t be in front of the Gators. At least not yet.
No. 15 Tennessee (2-0)
Next: vs. Akron, Saturday.
Reality check: Vols beat the team (Pitt) on the road that beat them last season at home. Tennessee is making real progress.
Ranked: Little low.
No. 16 North Carolina State (2-0)
Next: vs. Texas Tech, Saturday.
Reality check: RB Demie Sumo-Karngbaye could be the lead back the Wolfpack needed to emerge after losing both of last season’s top rushers.
Ranked: About right.
No. 17 Baylor (1-1)
Next: vs. Texas State, Saturday.
Reality check: The Bears and Blake Shapen were limited to 4.9 yards per pass against BYU as they have not yet found replacements for last year’s three leading receivers.
Ranked: About right.
No. 18 Florida (1-1)
Next: vs. South Florida, Saturday.
Reality check: Tap the brakes on QB Anthony Richardson’s Heisman campaign. Whether it was by choice or as a reaction to Kentucky’s defense, he is too good of runner to only go six carries for 4 yards.
Ranked: Should be ahead of Utah.
No. 19 Wake Forest (2-0)
Next: vs. Liberty, Saturday.
Reality check: Welcome back, Sam Hartman. After being sidelined with a medical condition, the fifth-year quarterback passed for 300 yards and four TDs against Vandy.
Ranked: Just right.
No. 20 Mississippi (2-0)
Next: at Georgia Tech, Saturday.
Reality check: Without as much attention, coach Lane Kiffin also started different quarterbacks the first two games. Luke Altmyer left with an upper body injury against Central Arkansas, so maybe a final decision between him and Jaxson Dart won’t come this week.
Ranked: Too high.
No. 21 Texas (1-1)
Next: vs. UTSA, Saturday.
Reality check: Can the Longhorns play with the same toughness and urgency against the rest of their schedule as they did against Alabama? If so, and QB Quinn Ewers (shoulder) isn’t out too long, they can contend in the Big 12.
Ranked: About right.
No. 22 Penn State (2-0)
Next: at Auburn, Saturday.
Reality check: Required qualifier that it was only against Ohio, but maybe, just maybe, freshman RB Nick Singleton (10 carries for 179 yards) can bring the running game back to Penn State after a two-year absence.
Ranked: Touch low.
No. 23 Pittsburgh (1-1)
Next: at Western Michigan, Saturday.
Reality check: Pitt plays two hard-fought home games against Power Five opponents and then makes a road trip to the MAC. What could possibly go wrong?
Ranked: Just right.
No. 24 Texas A&M (1-1)
Next: vs. No. 13 Miami, Saturday.
Reality check: QB Haynes King and the Aggies averaged 4.9 yards per pass against a defense that North Carolina scorched for 9.8 per attempt a week earlier.
Ranked: Too high.
No. 25 Oregon (1-1)
Next: vs. No. 12 BYU, Saturday.
Reality check: The Ducks dropped 70 on Eastern Washington, a very good FCS program. That’s probably a good sign, coming off the Georgia game. But probably not worth being ranked.
Ranked: Too high.

Hard Rock spends $100M to raise pay for non-tipped US staff
By WAYNE PARRY
Associated Press
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Hard Rock International, the global gambling, entertainment and hospitality company, said Monday it is spending over $100 million to give significant raises to 10,000 non-tipped workers, most of them in the U.S.
The raises, which include an immediate increase to a minimum starting salary of $18 to $21 an hour, are designed to help employees deal with persistent inflation, and to help the company attract and retain top talent, lessening employee turnover.
Some salaried workers will receive increased merit raises as well.
In some cases, workers will be getting an immediate raise of 60%. The raises apply to 95 job classifications, including cooks, housekeepers, front desk clerks, security workers and cage cashiers.
“We looked at all the starting salaries of all our (front) line employees, certainly recognizing the economic conditions that have been going on,” said Jim Allen, the company’s chairman and CEO. “We just wanted to do something to really help out and show appreciation to our employees. We’re trying to find the highest quality employees, thanking them for their efforts and recognizing that with compensation.”
Hard Rock said the raises will go to half its U.S. workforce.
“It will give Hard Rock a competitive advantage at a time when labor is relatively tight,” said David Schwartz, a gambling historian at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. “The service industry may be at a crossroads, and raising pay is one way to attract excellent employees.”
It comes as wages in the casino industry, as in many others, are increasing due to several factors including a shortage of workers and rising salaries in other fields that are luring casino workers.
In July, the main casino workers union in Atlantic City reached what it termed an “historic” contract with the city’s nine casinos, providing for the largest salary increases ever granted in a casino pact in New Jersey. It provides for an $18 hourly starting rate, and classifications such as housekeeping will earn $22 an hour in the fourth year of the deal.
Bob McDevitt, president of Local 54 of the Unite Here union that negotiated the Atlantic City contract, said Hard Rock’s setting of a national salary scale “is a great move.”
“It’s going to have a big impact everywhere they operate,” he said.
Representatives of several other national casino companies did not respond to inquiries Monday about their pay rates.
The $18 hourly starting salary announced Monday by Hard Rock is 2 1/2 times the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour, and exceeds the local minimum wage in every state in which the company operates, Allen said.
An entry-level worker in Florida, for example, will receive an immediate pay increase of $8 to $11 an hour above the state’s $10 an hour minimum wage. The hourly rate increase equates to more than $16,000 per year.
In Atlantic City, an entry-level hire will receive up to $6 an hour above the state’s $13 an hour minimum wage. That equates to an annual raise of more than $10,000, going from $27,040 to $37,440, the company said.
Hard Rock is owned by the Seminole Indian tribe of Florida. It has 265 locations in 70 countries.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) on Saturday called Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s (R) busing of migrants to the city “un-American.”
“You don’t treat people with this lack of respect, lack of dignity, putting them on buses to an unknown destination with very little food, very little water,” Lightfoot said during an appearance on “CNN Newsroom with Pamela Brown.”
“They have very little that they need when they’re on these multiple-hour, cross-country bus trips,” she said.
Abbott’s office said on Friday the state has bused more than 10,400 migrants since April to Democratic-run cities in protest of President Biden’s immigration policies.
About three-quarters have been sent to Washington, D.C., while more than 2,200 arrived in New York City since last month. The first bus sent to Chicago arrived on Wednesday, and Abbott said more than 300 migrants have arrived in the city so far.
“What I don’t like to see is people taking these cross-country trips, getting off the bus and being immediately taken to the hospital because they were put on the buses with delicate medical conditions that no one in Texas seemed to care anything about,” Lightfoot said on CNN. “That is simply not right, and it’s un-American.”
When asked if she would be OK with Abbott’s initiative if the migrants were better taken care of, Lightfoot still indicated opposition, calling it a “unilateral political stunt.”
“What he’s trying to do is play to the lowest common denominator in his party, to burnish his credentials as a candidate for president in 2024,” Lightfoot said.
Lightfoot said she had not spoken with Abbott but had connected with New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) and D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser (D), both of whom have similarly condemned the busing.
The Hill has reached out to an Abbott spokesperson for comment.
Both Adams and Bowser have asked the federal government for assistance. The Defense Department has denied Bowser’s request to activate the D.C. National Guard twice.
“This is a manufactured crisis on the part of Governor Abbott,” Lightfoot said on CNN. “We can all do our part. And I believe that we all must do our part. But we’ve got to do it with collaboration, with cooperation.”

Gaston County Schools educators prepare for town hall to discuss payroll with state leaders, school administrators
More than 200 educators are signed up for Tuesday’s town hall meeting
BELMONT, N.C. (WBTV) - Gaston County Schools educators are banding together as their fight for correct paychecks continues.
The Gaston County North Carolina Association of Educators (NCAE) is preparing for a virtual town hall at 6 p.m. on Tuesday.
Teachers, custodians, retirees, and other employees invited district administrators, state senators, representatives, the state Treasurer Dale Folwell, and the GCS Superintendent.
“Our goal is for our decision-makers to truly hear our concerns and demands for change in the current payroll system. We can no longer continue with the constant stress of not being paid at all, not being paid fully, or having double deductions of benefits from our pay,” said Gaston NCAE President Pam Miller.
Bobbie Cavnar has taught in the district since 2003 and said he has never seen complications like this.
“I’ve had one correct paycheck in the last eight months,” Cavnar said.
Payday is quickly approaching and Cavnar is praying for a normal paycheck after months of abnormalities that he and hundreds of employees have faced.
“You just never know whether this is going to be the month that you don’t get paid or something is wrong with your paycheck,” he said.
Employees tell WBTV that over the last several months they either didn’t get a check for some months, had extra deductions, their retirement credits weren’t updated in the system, or their summer pay is missing.
WBTV first reported on the payroll transition in February as the district transitioned to the Oracle system with the help of online support vendor CherryRoad Technologies.
The district sent a message to employees last Thursday saying it is working to correct issues with longevity pay, individual payroll issues, overpayments, and deductions for open enrollment benefits.

This issue has also captured the attention of the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction which says it provided the school district with funding and training after it launched the new program and it is continuing to work with the support staff at the company Oracle for any service requests from the school district.
NCDPI sent the district $494,200 for March and April 2022 as a non-recurring payment and $237,920 for May and June 2022 as an additional non-recurring payment.
On Tuesday, WBTV education reporter Courtney Cole called the technical support company Cherry Road Technologies and the payroll system Oracle.
Cole also sent emails to both companies and the district requesting a timeline, action plan, and identification of the problem.
Last Tuesday, more than 200 employees held a town hall sharing their concerns and planning demonstrations.
By Thursday, September 8, an unsigned email from the district was sent to all employees identifying current issues and an updated timeline for uploading the May through August retirement files.
“We at least got an email that for the first time admitting there were thousands of issues in our paychecks,” he said.
On Friday, dozens of employees at nearly two dozen schools held walk-in demonstrations to bring attention to the ongoing issues.

Cavnar hopes Tuesday’s town hall meeting provides accountability, consistent communication, and solutions.
“What we’re looking for though is someone to communicate the plan to move forward to get us out of this and make whole those employees who have been hurt by it.”
This is a developing story.

Emmy Awards host Kenan Thompson and the ceremony's producers are promising a feel-good event — a phrase not applicable to several of the top nominated shows.
The best drama contenders include the violently dystopian “Squid Game,” bleak workplace satire “Severance” and “Succession,” about a powerful and cutthroat family. Even comedy nominee “Ted Lasso," the defending champ, took a storytelling dark turn.
But after several pandemic-constrained awards seasons, Monday's 74th Primetime Emmy Awards — airing 8 p.m. EDT on NBC and streaming on Peacock — will be big and festive, executive producers Reginald Hudlin and Ian Stewart said.
Leading the Emmy nominations is “Succession,” which received 25 nods, while "Ted Lasso" and "The White Lotus" tied for 20 nominations each.

Evers, Michels to debate just once before election
Democratic Gov. Tony Evers and Republican challenger Tim Michels have agreed to debate just one time ahead of the Nov. 8 election
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Democratic Gov. Tony Evers and Republican challenger Tim Michels announced Monday that they have agreed to debate just one time ahead of the Nov. 8 election.
The debate will be Oct. 14, hosted by the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association, held in Madison and broadcast statewide. Both campaigns put out a joint statement announcing the agreement.
The debate will include journalists from across the state, according to the statement.
“There are plenty of differences between the two candidates, but we agree that voters deserve this opportunity to hear directly from each candidate,” said Evers' campaign manager Cassi Fenili and Michels' campaign manager Patrick McNulty in the joint statement. "This will be the only debate between the candidates before the November election.”
In 2018, Evers debated then-Gov. Scott Walker twice in October. Michels, co-owner of construction company Michels Corp., participated in two televised debates with his Republican challengers this summer. One was in a traditional debate format and the other was a town hall where questions came from people in the audience. Michels also did a radio debate with former Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch and state Rep. Timothy Ramthun.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Sunday said the threats facing the U.S. in the 21 years since the Sept. 11 attacks have shifted from worries about foreign terrorists to growing concerns about domestic extremism.
“The threat landscape has evolved considerably over the last 20 years,” Mayorkas said during an appearance on MSNBC’s “The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart.”
“Back when 9/11 occurred, in those years we were very focused on the foreign terrorist, the individual who sought to do a severe harm to enter the United States and and do us harm,” Mayorkas continued, speaking at the site of the World Trade Center.
But now, Mayorkas said officials are becoming “more and more” concerned about U.S. residents radicalized by foreign terrorist ideologies.
“We are seeing an emerging threat, of course, over the last several years of the domestic violent extremist,” Mayorkas said. “The individual here in the United States radicalized to violence by a foreign terrorist ideology, but also an ideology of hate, anti-government sentiment, false narratives propagated on online platforms, even personal grievances.”
Mayorkas has previously called domestic extremism the country’s greatest terror-related threat, comments that came less than three months after the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack.
Mayorkas is one of many Democrats who have sounded alarm bells about domestic extremist threats.
Vice President Harris in an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” which also aired on Sunday, called domestic terrorism “very dangerous,” saying it makes the country “weaker.”
Asked if domestic threats are equal or greater than those the U.S. faced after 9/11 from foreign terrorists, Harris said “we don’t compare the two in the oath” to protect the country.
Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), the Senate Intelligence Committee chairman, said on Sunday that he worries about domestic threats while the threat of terror in his view had “diminished.”
“The stunning thing to me is here we are 20 years later, and the attack on the symbol of our democracy was not coming from terrorists, but it came from literally insurgents attacking the Capitol on Jan. 6,” he said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”
The House in May passed a bill nearly along party lines that would create domestic terrorism offices throughout the federal government. Rep. Adam Kinzinger (Ill.) was the sole House Republican to vote in favor of the legislation, while others in his conference argued the bill would unfairly target Americans.

Weeks of falling gas prices are dulling what had previously been a sharp Republican weapon, giving Democrats another glimmer of hope ahead of the midterm elections.
Months ago, sky-high gas prices were a major reason why Democrats’ prospects looked bleak.
But as candidates hit the homestretch ahead of the Nov. 8 midterms, the lower gas prices are giving reasons for Democrats to think they can be more competitive.
“It takes a lot of the effectiveness out of a cudgel when people aren’t seeing and feeling it as much,” Democratic strategist Eddie Vale said of gas prices.
Since hitting a June peak of $5.02 on average across the country, U.S. gasoline prices have fallen by $1.28 and are averaging about $3.74 per gallon as of Friday.
That’s still relatively high and up about 56 cents from a year ago. It’s about $1.18 higher compared to the same day in 2019, prior to the coronavirus pandemic.
Still, the prices are going in a better direction for consumers and the party in power.
Republicans have sought to make the election about inflation — with gas prices being a heavy target. But some polls suggest voters are now looking at other issues.
In a recent poll from Marist, fewer Americans cited inflation as their top voting issue than in a previous poll, indicating that at least some focus is shifting onto other topics.
While Marist found that 30 percent of Americans still consider inflation to be their top voting issue, that number is down from 37 percent of respondents who said the same in July.
The Marist poll also found the number of those surveyed who said abortion was their top issue was growing, from 18 percent in July to 22 percent in September.
Democrats have zeroed in on abortion rights as a key midterm issue ever since the Supreme Court struck down the Roe v. Wade decision in June. The party has won two special House elections since the court’s decision amid some evidence that more women are registering to vote.
The Cook Political Report also cited lower gas prices as the second-biggest reason why Democrats appear in a better political position than they were a few months ago, writing that the fall is “taking some bite out of Republicans’ ‘Biden-flation’ message.”
To be sure, Democrats still face some serious hurdles.
Historically, the party that holds the presidency has lost congressional seats during midterm elections. And while President Biden’s approval ratings have started to rise in some polls, more than 50 percent in several recent polls say they disapprove of his policies.
Low approval ratings for a president are generally a serious drag on lawmakers in that president’s party.
Still, while Democrats remain the underdog to hold on to the House majority, they are starting to feel better about cutting into their potential losses in the lower chamber.
And the party is feeling much better about retaining its Senate majority as candidates in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia and Wisconsin show signs of strength.
The Supreme Court’s abortion decision is seen as the biggest reason why the future looks brighter for Democrats, and why the party pulled off key wins in those special House elections in New York and Alaska last month.
But Vale said the gasoline price drop is also having significant political impacts.
“It’s something that people feel every two days, five days, seven days depending on how long your commute is,” he said. “Even if you’re not filling up your tank, you’re driving by like 10 gas stations with the signs every day, so it’s very front-of-mind.”
Republicans argue that they still have the upper hand on the issue given where prices stand.
“Voters still care that gas prices are through the roof,” said Michael McAdams, communications director of the National Republican Congressional Committee, the party’s campaign arm for House races.
“It’s undeniable that the most important issue for every voter – doesn’t matter where you live whether it’s in Oregon or Florida — [is] the rising cost of everything,” McAdams said.
GOP strategist Doug Heye similarly said in a statement that Republican candidates should continue to hammer their Democratic opponents on gasoline prices and inflation more broadly.
“Even as [prices] have fallen and Democrats try to take credit, that money — or the money families spend on eggs, ground beef and vegetables, or housing — is not going back in their pockets,” Heye said in an email.
“This is still the #1 issue for Republicans and Independents. GOP candidates should spend all day every day reminding voters of those things,” he added.
In their own messaging on the issue, Vale said that Democrats need to strike a balance between acknowledging that the country is still grappling with inflation and trying to take credit for downward price trends.
“Since you’re seeing a lot of the inflation soften or even decrease in some areas, you can take credit broadly speaking,” he said.

The U.S. Navy has ordered an independent investigation into the Navy SEAL selection course following the death of a sailor during the program, according to a report from The New York Times.
Vice Chief of Naval Operations Admiral William K. Lescher called for the investigation in a letter obtained by the paper.
The investigation will focus on the Basic Underwater Demolition/SEALS (BUD/S) course, probing its safety measures and drug testing protocol as well as the qualifications of medical personnel assigned to the program.
Many sailors have been found to use performance-enhancing drugs to get through BUD/S, particularly during what is known as “Hell Week,” the most intense part of the selection course where sailors experience dire physical conditions, according to the Times.
The Aug. 31 letter also ordered investigators to look into changes made since the passing of Kyle Mullen in February. Mullen was a Navy sailor who died after being sent to the hospital in San Diego shortly following Hell Week.
An anonymous Navy official told the Times that the Naval Special Warfare Command (NSWC), which houses the SEALs, had also been investigating Mullen’s death before their probe was brought to a halt.
Leaders found that the NSWC report placed too much responsibility on Mullen rather than highlighting the flaws of the SEAL training program, according to the official.
The letter indicates that the Special Warfare Command will refocus its investigation into whether Mullen died in the line of duty, but will leave other questions to the independent investigators.
“The Navy remains committed to transparency and ensuring the final reports are thorough, accurate, impartial, and that confidence and credibility are maintained throughout the entire process,” it told the Times.
The Hill has reached out to the Navy for further comment on the investigation.

Eric Endersby, Morro Bay's Harbor Director, announced that he will be retiring, city officials announced Monday.
Endersby's last day will be Dec. 23.
Endersby has been working for the City for nearly 30 years, starting as a Reserve Harbor Patrol Officer in 1993, according to the press release. He was promoted to his current position as the Harbor Director in 2012.
In his tenure, he has updated the Embarcadero lease management policies and helped guide the ongoing efforts to modernize the waterfront and the Harbor Patrol vessel fleet.
“Eric is an exemplary public servant, and we greatly appreciate all he has done to transform the Harbor over his 30 years with the City,” said City Manager Scott Collins. “He demonstrated a rare combination of skills and backgrounds in his role – boating, public safety, diplomacy, and a business acumen – in leading the Department. We will miss Eric’s leadership, kindness, and good humor which helped the Department, the Executive team, and the community navigates through the challenges of the pandemic. We are excited for him as he prepares for the next stage of his career.”
The city will begin the Harbor Director recruitment this week, city officials said.

As New England was driving down the field on the Miami Dolphins defense during the first possession of Sunday’s season opener, one of the few times the Patriots were chomping up yards like Pac-Man, there was a sense of calm, an understanding that someone on the defense would make a play, someone would change the game.
It’s a sentiment that came straight from the top, from the rookie head coach who got this job largely due to his offensive prowess.
“This is still the defense’s team until proven otherwise,” said Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel.
He’s right. McDaniel won’t get an argument here when it comes to the Dolphins’ defense running this team.
Right on cue, on first down from the Dolphins’ 22-yard line All Pro cornerback Xavien Howard tipped a pass intended for Patriots wide receiver DeVante Parker, the former Dolphin, and safety Jevon Holland snatched it out of the air and returned it 31 yards to the Dolphins’ 28-yard line.
The Dolphins converted the opportunity into a 43-yard field goal and a 3-0 lead.
“We didn’t get flustered, we didn’t point fingers, we didn’t panic when things weren’t going great,” defensive lineman Christian Wilkins said.
The first quarter wasn’t the only time the defense came up big Sunday.
In the second quarter the Patriots had a second-and-10 at their own 15-yard line. Safety Brandon Jones shot in from the defense’s right side and stripped the ball from Patriots quarterback Mac Jones, who finished a relatively harmless 21 of 30 for 213 yards, one touchdown and one interception.
Dolphins linebacker Melvin Ingram scooped up the loose ball and trotted into the end zone for a 2-yard touchdown.
Dolphins 10, Patriots 0, thanks in large part to the defense.
“They have a standard that they want to employ that everybody knows when a Miami Dolphins game occurs, you’re going to have to deal with this defense,” McDaniel said.
It’s a defense capable of coming at you from all levels and angles.
Even rookie cornerback Kader Kohou got in on the play-making act in the fourth quarter by causing a fumble that linebacker Jaelan Phillips recovered.
“I’m proud of us,” Holland said. “First game, first dub (W, as in a win), so we can only build from here.”
Miami’s defense forced three turnovers Sunday — one interception and two fumbles recovered — and set the tempo for the game by adding two sacks and holding New England, which was eighth in the NFL at 126.5 yards per game last season, to 78 yards rushing.
“I don’t think we understand how special we can be yet,” Ingram said. “This defense can definitely be very special.”
This wasn’t necessarily a dominant, masterful performance by the Dolphins’ defense.
But it was a game-changing, game-winning performance.
The Dolphins shouldn’t expect anything less.
No, the defense won’t score a touchdown every game, and it won’t have an interception in the end zone every game.
However, it can change the momentum once or twice in every week. That’s realistic. It could come via a sack, interception, third-down stop, whatever.
These guys know how to make plays and change games.
You saw the play-making ability late last season as the defense helped turn around a 1-7 season that seemed to be going nowhere. You saw the play-making ability in training camp and preseason even as backups such as linebacker Sam Eguavoen and defensive back Elijah Campbell scored touchdowns.
And you saw the trend continue in Sunday’s season opener against New England.
New England did some good things offensively. The Patriots were a respectable 4 for 9 on third down and averaged 5.0 yards per play. And they had a 15-play, 92-yard touchdown drive in the third quarter.
But the Dolphins defense changed the tone in Sunday’s victory, and that trend seems likely to continue all season. They’re not a finished product, by any means. But they got the job done in the opener.
“It wasn’t great,” Wilkins said. “There’s a lot we can improve on, but I think it’s definitely a good place to start, something to grow on.”

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) on Saturday called Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s (R) busing of migrants to the city “un-American.”
“You don’t treat people with this lack of respect, lack of dignity, putting them on buses to an unknown destination with very little food, very little water,” Lightfoot said during an appearance on “CNN Newsroom with Pamela Brown.”
“They have very little that they need when they’re on these multiple-hour, cross-country bus trips,” she said.
Abbott’s office said on Friday the state has bused more than 10,400 migrants since April to Democratic-run cities in protest of President Biden’s immigration policies.
About three-quarters have been sent to Washington, D.C., while more than 2,200 arrived in New York City since last month. The first bus sent to Chicago arrived on Wednesday, and Abbott said more than 300 migrants have arrived in the city so far.
“What I don’t like to see is people taking these cross-country trips, getting off the bus and being immediately taken to the hospital because they were put on the buses with delicate medical conditions that no one in Texas seemed to care anything about,” Lightfoot said on CNN. “That is simply not right, and it’s un-American.”
When asked if she would be OK with Abbott’s initiative if the migrants were better taken care of, Lightfoot still indicated opposition, calling it a “unilateral political stunt.”
“What he’s trying to do is play to the lowest common denominator in his party, to burnish his credentials as a candidate for president in 2024,” Lightfoot said.
Lightfoot said she had not spoken with Abbott but had connected with New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) and D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser (D), both of whom have similarly condemned the busing.
The Hill has reached out to an Abbott spokesperson for comment.
Both Adams and Bowser have asked the federal government for assistance. The Defense Department has denied Bowser’s request to activate the D.C. National Guard twice.
“This is a manufactured crisis on the part of Governor Abbott,” Lightfoot said on CNN. “We can all do our part. And I believe that we all must do our part. But we’ve got to do it with collaboration, with cooperation.”

(KCAU) — Twenty-two Republican governors, including Florida’s Ron DeSantis and Texas’ Greg Abbott, have sent a letter to President Joe Biden opposing his plans to cancel student loan debt and telling him to withdraw it “immediately.”
The joint letter sent Monday, spearheaded by Iowa’s Kim Reynolds, stated Biden’s plan of $10,000 in debt forgiveness would add $600,000 to taxpayers. The letter claimed that is unfair for the vast majority of taxpayers to pay for loan forgiveness when only 16-17% of Americans have federal student loan debt. They added that the plan would shift the burden of debt from the wealthy to the poor.
The joint letter went on to say that it was the decision of the students to take out loans.
“College may not be the right decision for every American, but for the students who took out loans, it was their decision: able adults and willing borrowers who knowingly agreed to the terms of the loan and consented to taking on debt in exchange for taking classes,” the letter stated. “A high-cost degree is not the key to unlocking the American Dream—hard work and personal responsibility is.”
The governors added that the plan is unfair to those who have already paid off their loans.
They went on to say that the plan will “encourage more student borrowing, incentivize higher tuition rates, and drive-up inflation even further.”
“This doesn’t truly solve the problem and he is not addressing the issue of the rising cost of tuition or lowering interest rates for students.”
Matt Sinovic, the executive director of Progress Iowa, said in a statement that the “burden of student loan debt has forced millions of Americans into terrible choices, like staying in a bad job or delaying needed medical care.”
He added that the student debt forgiveness plan would allow people to spend more and keep the economy going. Sinovic called out Reynolds for her not funding Iowa’s public schools and cutting funding to the state’s public universities.
Biden’s plan calls for thousands of dollars in loan cancellations for individuals who earn less than $125,000 a year, impacting more than 40 million Americans. For those who went to college on Pell Grants, $20,000 will be forgiven. Those who did not receive that grant will see $10,000 in debt forgiveness.
Republican senators, including Chuck Grassley of Iowa, are calling for lawsuits to block Biden’s order forgiving student loan debt, calling it an illegal overreach and abuse of executive power.

The joint letter was signed by governors from Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming.

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) on Sunday said the Department of Justice (DOJ) has “a pretty good chance” in its appeal of an order for a special master to look over the documents seized by the FBI at former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home.
“I think the Justice Department’s chances are pretty good,” Christie said on ABC’s “This Week.”
The Trump team had argued for the special master, alleging some seized documents were protected by executive privilege, and the Trump-appointee judge overseeing the case granted the request, preventing the DOJ from moving forward with its own review of the materials.
“There’s only one executive who can assert the privilege, and that’s the one who is the current executive, Joe Biden. A previous executive can’t assert executive privilege. They’re not the executive any longer,” Christie said Sunday.
“Biden will not assert executive privilege over these documents. And I think the idea that some of these documents are somehow attorney-client privilege is going to be a bit of a reach … So I think, for one, I think the DOJ probably has a pretty good chance on appeal.”
Christie on Sunday also defended the DOJ’s much-critiqued move to search Mar-a-Lago and seize the materials, saying the department “had no choice.”
“It’s not only the nature of the documents. We now have a good idea of the timeline. This has been 16 months that the Department of Justice has been saying please, asking nicely, negotiating with his attorneys, taking up partial production, seeing a non-response to a subpoena. They had no choice, in my view, but to go in and take them, because of the nature of the documents.”
Newly unsealed records show FBI agents found more than 100 classified documents at the Palm Beach, Fla., resort — as well as dozens of empty folders marked as classified in Trump’s personal office.
Christie recalled working with highly sensitive information, the likes of which were found at Mar-a-Lago, during his tenure as a U.S. attorney in New Jersey.
“When I had to review that in the post-9/11 era, I had to go into a special room called the SCIF to review it. I couldn’t take pictures. I couldn’t take anything with me. [Trump] had that in the top drawer at Mar-a-Lago in his desk. That’s a problem. I don’t think he’ll be prosecuted for it, but we ought to get those documents back.”

Former President Trump’s promise to grant pardons to the rioters who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, is running into strong opposition from Senate Republicans.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), one of Trump’s closest allies, told The Hill that granting pardons to Jan. 6 protesters is “a bad idea.”
“Pardons are given to people who admit misconduct, rehabilitate themselves. They’re not supposed to be used for other purposes,” he said.
Other Republican senators are joining Graham in criticizing Trump’s promise to pardon the Jan. 6 protesters as inappropriate.
“I don’t think potential candidates should hold pardons out as a promise,” said Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), who is usually a reliable Trump ally. “It’s somewhat problematic for me on a moral level and an ethical level — sort of like promising other giveaways to particular individuals.
“I prefer avoiding those kinds of things,” he said.
Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) said he wouldn’t support granting pardons to people convicted of crimes because of their actions on Jan. 6.
“If he were elected, he would have a constitutional ability to do it,” he said of Trump’s promise of pardons. “I would disagree with it. I think there was insurrection and I think these folks need to be punished.
“I was there. This was truly violent. People were injured, people were killed. I have very little mercy for the individuals that were involved in that activity that day,” Rounds added.
Senate Republican Whip John Thune (S.D.) said people who committed crimes on Jan. 6 must face the consequences of their actions.
“The only people that get pardoned are people who are charged with crimes. If they were charged with crimes, they ought to be prosecuted like everybody else,” he said. “The rule of law applies. If people broke laws, they need to be held accountable.”
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), who voted last year to impeach Trump on the charge of inciting an insurrection on Jan. 6, said pardoning people who invaded the Capitol to stop Biden’s election would be wrong.
“The Jan. 6 riot was an attack on the temple of democracy, and the people who violated the law, attacked our law enforcement and besmirched our nation’s Capitol should be prosecuted according to the law, and certainly should not be pardoned,” he said. “It’s a grossly inappropriate comment to make.”
Not every Republican is quick to dismiss the idea of a pardon.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) who raised a fist to protestors outside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, before he and other members of Congress were evacuated during the insurrection, is more open to the idea of granting leniency to pro-Trump protesters.
“Let’s see which ones he would choose to do,” Hawley said of the prospect of Trump pardoning Jan. 6 protesters if he wins another term in the White House. “There’s no question it has been a massive prosecutorial effort.“
He and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who both led objections to the Electoral College tally in January 2021, argue the Department of Justice (DOJ) is punishing Trump supporters who entered the Capitol on Jan. 6 much more aggressively than the rioters who destroyed property at Black Lives Matter demonstrations in 2020.
“I think that the folks who committed crimes, particularly violent crimes, on that day ought to be prosecuted,” Hawley said of the Jan. 6 protesters who have been sentenced to prison. “I think the question becomes, are there people who’ve been caught up in this drag net who, for instance, didn’t know that they were trespassing?“
“There’s a lot of concern about, frankly, the double standard at [the Department of Justice] going after people who may have at most trespassed on federal property and not even known they did it versus folks who have in [Black Lives Matter] riots committed violent crimes and not been prosecuted,” he added, referring to the failure to prosecute people who destroyed property at riots in the wake of George Floyd’s death at the hands of police.
“There absolutely is undeniably a double standard,” he said.
Hawley said the Department of Justice has filed briefs asking for leniency for Black Lives Matter protesters who destroyed property or caused injuries because their actions were motivated by a desire for social justice, while federal prosecutors have sought maximum penalties for Trump supporters who entered the Capitol last year.
Federal prosecutors, for example, asked for an 18-month prison sentence for Richard Michetti, who was arrested after his ex-girlfriend turned him in to law enforcement.
Michetti was charged with aiding and abetting obstruction of an official proceeding after entering and remaining in the Capitol for 45 minutes on Jan. 6, where he yelled obscenities at police officers. He was sentenced last week to 24 months of supervised release and ordered to pay a $2,000 penalty.
A study published by Time magazine in June found that 840 people had been charged with storming the Capitol on that day and that about a quarter of them have received criminal sentences, with a median prison sentence of 45 days.
Trump told conservative radio host Wendy Bell on Sept. 1 that he would issue full pardons and apologize to many of his supporters who were prosecuted for their actions on Jan. 6.
“I mean full pardons with an apology to many,” he said earlier this month.
Cruz said there’s a big difference between protesters who attacked Capitol police officers and smashed the Capitol’s windows and doorways and Trump supporters who showed up at the Capitol to voice their opposition to certifying Biden as president.
“I think there is a stark difference between acts of violence and peaceful protest. Acts of violence are unacceptable from any political perspective. Peaceful protest is protected by the first amendment of the Constitution,” Cruz said when asked about Trump’s promise to pardon many Jan. 6 protesters.
“The Biden Justice Department has used Jan. 6 and the violent acts of a few to justify persecuting the peaceful protest and political speech of the many,” he said. “It is wildly inconsistent.
“The Department of Justice turns a blind eye to violent rioters who looted, destroyed and firebombed American cities across the country but is eager to target anyone who dares speak on the other side of the aisle,” he said, citing Biden’s recent speech in Philadelphia, where he accused Trump and his allies of pushing a form of political extremism that “threatens the very foundations of our republic.”
“This past week it got so bad that Joe Biden, bathed in red light, decreed that half the nation are fascists because they dare to disagree with his socialist policies,” Cruz said. “What DOJ is doing, targeting the political enemies of the White House, is corrupt and incredibly harmful.”
Asked if people who illegally entered the Capitol on Jan. 6 should receive pardons if they didn’t assault officers or destroy property, Cruz would only say “acts of violence are qualitatively different.”
A study of court records by The Associated Press have found that federal prosecutors have filed more than 300 cases related to the protests that swept America after Floyd’s death.
It also found that more than 120 defendants have pleaded guilty to crimes such as rioting and arson and that more than 70 have received sentences, with the average penalty being 27 months in prison.
Graham, one of Trump’s staunchest allies in the Senate, said granting pardons to people who tried to intimidate and stop lawmakers from doing their jobs would set a bad precedent.
“It reinforces violence. The people who defiled the Capitol and took the law in their own hands deserve to be brought to justice,” he said.

NDIS-funded support worker's jail sentence for child sex offences brings little relief to victims
By Ashleigh DavisA single mother whose teenage daughter was sexually assaulted by her disability support worker said his jail sentence had given her family little relief from the damage he caused.
Key points:
- A disability support worker is sentenced to six years in prison for child sex offences
- One of his teenage victims, who lives with a disability, is now reluctant to leave the house
- The victim's mother is considering leaving the NDIS after the ordeal
Western Australian man Tomas Albert Hopkins was sentenced to six years jail last month after pleading guilty to several child sex offences, including persistently engaging in sexual conduct with a child under the age of 16 in his care.
The 29-year-old was employed as a disability support worker for his two victims, who had been diagnosed with autism.
Bunbury's District Court heard Hopkins paid one 15-year-old victim $10,000 to keep quiet after she confronted him about the abuse.
The other victim was Rachel, whose name has been changed for privacy, who was 17 at the time of the offending between September 2021 and January 2022.
Hopkins had told Rachel he would self-harm if she spoke out.
Rachel's mother, Sarah, whose name has also been changed for privacy, said it was a relief he would never be allowed to work with children again.
"I would like to see him put away forever, but that's not feasible," she said.
"My daughter was determined to make sure he admitted he did wrong.
"Coming forward was a big thing for Rachel and I'm really proud of her."
Trauma has devastating impact
Sarah, a single mother, worked to support and provide for her daughter's needs without government assistance until Rachel's autism diagnosis about a year ago.
She said Hopkins' offending had been traumatic and completely turned their household upside down.
"[The experience has] made us both very distrustful of anyone, especially any support workers from the NDIS [National Disability Insurance Scheme], especially any men," Sarah said.
She said Rachel had become so distrustful of men that she seldom left the house, with no more school or therapy appointments.
"I've had a few moments where I get really depressed, angry and frustrated," Sarah said.
"Rachel doesn't want to leave the house at all.
"I wouldn't trust any male alone with her now because of what happened. I can't."
Sarah went from working full-time in hospitality, to working sporadically when she could and surviving off $100 a week on a carer's pension.
The pair have been selling some of their belongings to make ends meet.
Sarah said it meant Rachel had to go without her usual favourite foods.
"When you've got a child with autism, they have particular food and sensory issues," she said.
"I've had to tell her all those things are off the menu. We can't afford it."
NDIS confusion
Hopkins had been hired as a support worker funded through the NDIS.
As was permitted, Hopkins was not registered, had no qualifications, and had not been through a security screening process.
Sarah said none of the people employed to help arrange her NDIS plan had told her the onus for checking a support worker's qualifications and appropriate safety checks rested with her.
While police confirmed Hopkins did have a valid Working With Children's Check, he had not gone through the rigorous NDIS worker's screening process, which could have been requested by Sarah.
"My support coordinator had told me how awesome he [Hopkins] was," she told the ABC when he was charged.
"I just went with that, not knowing that I had to be a detective.
"I was busy dealing with a child that's newly diagnosed with autism, trying to learn all about that, and then trying to read between the lines of the NDIS.
" I wasn't really aware of where my responsibilities lay."
Sarah said she was ready to pull the pin on the NDIS, which she said had been impossibly hard to navigate.
Hopkins' lawyer told the court he had experienced abuse in his childhood, with a psychological assessment finding he likely had a personality disorder.
Hopkins will be eligible for parole after serving four years in prison.

Liverpool will hope to get their season back on track when they face off against Ajax as the two teams meet in the 2022-23 Champions League Group A clash on Wednesday. The Reds won both their group stage fixtures against the Dutch champions the last time they met in Europe which was two seasons ago.
Jurgen Klopp's men have not had a great start to their season apart from their 9-0 win against Bournemouth. Since that big win, the Reds have won only once out of three outings. They lost 4-1 to Napoli in their 2022-23 Champions League opener and will be hopeful of a better result against Ajax in what seems to be a difficult group for the former European champions.
Ajax' last win against Liverpool in Europe came in the 1966-67 season but they will be hopeful of a good result against the Premier League team on Tuesday. They are unbeaten in their domestic league and have won all their six league games so far, with an overall goal difference of +18.

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Kansas City coach Andy Reid looked slightly perplexed during Sunday’s postgame press conference when asked why his quarterback Patrick Mahomes is so good in season openers.
Reid didn’t notice any difference.
“He’s pretty good all the time,” he said with a slight grin. “We’re lucky to have him.”
Mahomes threw for 360 yards and five touchdowns, Clyde Edwards-Helaire caught two touchdown passes and the Chiefs rolled to an impressive 44-21 road win over the Arizona Cardinals in the opener for both teams.
The game was never in doubt after the opening minutes, with Mahomes picking apart the Cardinals’ defense with his usual array of good decisions and deft passing touch. The quarterback was playing his first NFL game against Kliff Kingsbury, who coached Mahomes in college at Texas Tech and now leads the Cardinals.
The student put on quite a show for his mentor: The 2018 MVP threw three touchdown passes on Kansas City’s first three drives.
After his fourth touchdown, he turned toward the Cardinals’ sideline for a little trash talk, holding up four fingers to remind them of the damage he had already caused against the Arizona defense.
Mahomes said no matter how successful he becomes, he’ll always feel like the underdog. He’s now 5-0 in season openers, throwing 18 touchdowns and zero interceptions.
“I’m just a guy from Texas Tech they said couldn’t play in the NFL,” Mahomes said. “I’ve always had that mindset of proving we’re the Kansas City Chiefs, we still can win the AFC Championship, win the AFC West and win the Super Bowl.”
Tight end Travis Kelce caught eight passes for 121 yards and a touchdown. It was his 30th career game with at least 100 yards receiving. Kansas City outgained Arizona 488 yards to 282. Mahomes completed 30 of 39 passes.
“We always believed we were going to go out there and put on a show,” Mahomes said. “Guys did that.”
The onslaught started in a hurry.
Kansas City jumped out to a 7-0 lead on the opening drive, capping an 11-play, 75-yard march with a 9-yard touchdown pass from Mahomes to Kelce. The Chiefs pushed ahead 14-0 later in the first on a nifty play from Mahomes, who threw an underhanded shovel pass to Edwards-Helaire for the 3-yard score.
The Chiefs led 23-7 by halftime after Harrison Butker, who missed part of the first half with a left ankle injury, made a 54-yard field goal with two seconds left in the second quarter.
Kansas City — which is trying to make the AFC title game for a fifth straight season — had a 37-7 advantage by the fourth quarter.
It was a rough start for Arizona, which also suffered through a brutal ending to 2021. The Cardinals have lost six of seven games dating to last season, including the playoffs.
“They beat us in every way,” Kingsbury said. “There is no denying it, no hiding from it. We didn’t execute in any phase and they played at a high level.”
Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray was playing his first game since being rewarded with a $230.5 million, five-year contract during the offseason. He finished 22-of-34 passing for 193 yards and two touchdowns, though much of that production came when the Chiefs already had control of the game.
“You can either start sulking about it or look in the mirror for what it is,” Murray said. “It’s a long season. We got punched in the mouth. How do you respond?”
The Cardinals came into Week 1 missing some of their best players. Three-time All-Pro receiver DeAndre Hopkins was suspended for the season’s first six games after violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing drug policy. Star defensive lineman J.J. Watt was inactive because of a calf injury.
SAFETY KICKER
Butker left the game in the first quarter because of an ankle injury, so the Chiefs turned to safety Justin Reid to handle the job.
He actually did OK.
Reid was made 1 of 2 attempts on extra points and also blasted a kickoff through the back of the end zone for a touchback. The safety was prepared for his role as the emergency kicker: He made an extra point during a preseason game.
Butker returned late in the second quarter.
READY TO GO
Mahomes completed touchdown passes on the first three drives of Kansas City’s season. He’s the second quarterback to do that since at least 1991. The other was Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers in 2011.
INJURIES
Chiefs: RG Trey Smith (ankle) left the game in the first half and didn’t return. … CB Trent McDuffie (hamstring) left the game in the second half. … Mahomes fell on his left wrist during the first quarter, which is his non-throwing arm. The quarterback said he was sore, but postgame tests didn’t reveal any structural damage.
Cardinals: Arizona entered the game with a banged-up roster, especially considering this is the first week of the season. WR Rondale Moore (hamstring), CB Trayvon Mullen (toe), OL Justin Pugh (neck) and Watt were all inactive because of injuries.
UP NEXT
Chiefs: Host the Chargers on Thursday night.
Cardinals: Travel to face the Raiders next Sunday.

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) presented a flag from the U.S. Capitol on Friday to Simone Gold, who was sentenced to 60 days in prison for her actions during the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection.
Gold, who founded the anti-COVID-19 restriction group America’s Frontline Doctors and promoted the unproven drug hydroxychloroquine as a cure for COVID-19, pleaded guilty in March to entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds during the storming of the Capitol. She was sentenced to 60 days imprisonment and ordered to pay a $9,500 fine.
Gohmert said in a release that Gold is a “patriot” and “American hero.”
“After having her name and reputation shamefully dragged through the mud, the Biden administration’s DOJ threw her in prison for peacefully walking into the U.S. Capitol on January 6 and delivering a speech,” Gohmert said. “Dr. Gold is the definition of what a political prisoner looks like—something I never thought I’d see here in the United States of America.”
He said Gold gave the world “life-saving” early treatment options to COVID-19 that “undoubtedly” saved many lives.
Multiple studies and fact checks throughout the COVID-19 pandemic have concluded that hydroxychloroquine does not make a difference in protecting people from the virus.
“History will not look kindly upon those who persecuted—and prosecuted—doctors who spoke out against the COVID lockdown, mask and vaccine mandates,” Gohmert said.
Gohmert said in July 2020 after contracting COVID-19 that he would take hydroxychloroquine as a treatment.

‘House of the Dragon’ recap: A scandalous affair
London, U.K. - Welcome to "House of the Dragon" recaps! In the fourth episode, "King of the Narrow Sea," Daemon returns to King’s Landing, things get hot and heavy during a debaucherous night on the Street of Silk and Alicent isn’t so thrilled to be the only responsible royal around. Here’s all the latest from Westeros. "House of the Dragon" is streaming via HBO Max; FOX Television Stations’ recaps will run weekly.
"King of the Narrow Sea" makes for a comparatively slow episode of "House of the Dragon," but one that’s fraught with incredibly important character detail. Princess Rhaenyra is her own person first and a Targaryen second, and the resulting tension isn’t always pretty — especially when it involves a scandalous night with her uncle.
RELATED: ‘House of the Dragon’ 101: Who's who in this new game of thrones
The big news out of Westeros
Previous episodes have centered on duty and power, but this episode focuses on a simple question: What if for one night you let yourself forget about both?
Princess Rhaenyra (Milly Alcock) has grown more than a little frustrated with her father’s continued attempts to marry her off — understandable, given that it involves sending her out on a royal tour of city after city full of men of all ages waxing lyrical (or not) for her hand. It all comes to a head during an event at Dragonstone, which she abandons, sailing back to King’s Landing to (almost) everyone’s obvious disappointment.

As Alicent Hightower (Emily Carey) points out, Rhaenyra has far more choices than most other ladies, and even princesses, in her situation. But looking at it from a modern point of view, it’s all but impossible not to empathize with Rhaenyra. When she’s invited to a secret night out with her wayward uncle Daemon (Matt Smith) — who it’s obvious to everyone, including him, that she has a crush on — it looks like she might finally be in for a night of fun. Yet while audiences are likely rooting for Rhaenyra, this particular kind of fun might not be what they hoped for, even if the charge between Daemon and Rhaenyra has been building all season.

In fact, "King of the Narrow Sea" ends with Rhaenyra at her wildest: indirectly insulting Alicent, who she has finally patched up a feud with; almost having sex with her uncle (depends on who you ask in King’s Landing as to whether they actually did the deed); then bedding her Kingsguard Ser Cristen Cole (Fabien Frankel). Maybe most shocking of all, she then quite convincingly lies about all these actions on her late mother’s grave.
We’ve already seen Rhaenyra cruel, as she laughs at a poor boy who is trying to live up to his parents’ expectations, and now we’re seeing her entitlement and recklessness. She’s not a perfect princess, and she doesn’t want to be. It’s kind of great.

Also: Otto Hightower’s reign is over
Rhaenyra’s antics get Daemon deservedly kicked out of King’s Landing, again, after he gained his way back into the Targaryen fold by winning the Stepstones. It’s unclear whether, as Viserys (Paddy Considine) suggests, this was all a ploy by Daemon to get himself married to Rhaenyra. It almost seems like Daemon himself isn’t really sure. Regardless, Rhaenyra’s wild night brings catastrophic changes to her world, as she is now to be married to Laenor Velaryon (Theo Nate), which she correctly deduces is a choice meant to solve her politically-phobic father’s headaches.
RELATED: ‘House of the Dragon’ 101: What are the Stepstones and where’s Old Valyria
The rest of the episode contrasts Rhaenyra’s night of fun with scenes of Alicent firmly trapped in her role as Queen. It’s obvious that not a word comes out of her mouth that hasn’t been tempered (at least until we see her face Rhaenyra later). And whilst Viserys values her as a friend and helpmate, now that she’s his wife, he expects her to know a wife’s place, which seems to be as a target for ridicule in service of some brotherly bonding, not to mention delivering sex on command.
Photograph by Ollie Upton / HBO
When Alicent goes to Rhaenyra to ask her the truth about her adventures, however, she is furious, bleary-eyed and tired. It’s almost a relief to see. It’s clear Alicent is sick of being the only one doing what is expected of her and holding everyone together, especially now that Rhaenyra’s actions have caused a rift between Viserys and Alicent’s father, Otto Hightower (Rhys Ifans).
Indeed, one of the more intriguing grace notes of the episode involves Rhaenyra’s unexpected sense of power. Despite getting punished for her indiscretions by being forced to wed her father’s choice of suitor, she still holds her own, demanding Otto’s resignation as her price. Otto’s departure means there’s a power vacuum for the position of Hand of the King. And with dark anger lurking in Viserys, who seems to grow more unstable and unsure of himself by the minute, it remains to be seen how this will change both Alicent and Rhaenyra’s positions.

Memorable line
"I swear this to you, upon the memory of my mother." - Rhaenyra to Alicent
Most interesting scene
Photograph by Ollie Upton / HBO
Rhaenyra has to do some damage control with Alicent — even swearing on her mother’s memory that nothing happened — but Daemon just confesses to Viserys that yes, he did fumble around with his daughter. The contrast between those two scenes really shows you the crux of the matter. Perhaps a king (or prince) can want and bed who he wishes, but a future queen doesn’t have that luxury.
Episode MVP
Emily Carey, we salute you! Even if no one in King’s Landing is noticing Queen Alicent, we sure are.
Our critic’s take
Photograph by Ollie Upton / HBO
We asked for unhinged Rhaenyra and in "King of the Narrow Sea," we get it. It’s especially interesting to see how Rhaenyra’s moral framework bends over time; she has her fair share of flaws as well as her more positive attributes. Yet while Rhaenyra’s sex scene with Cristen is expertly played by Alcock, who manages to convey both desire and the unique awkwardness of a first time, her overall sexual awakening and its aftermath fall oddly flat.
That’s not just because of the incest/age gaps/power dynamics/etc. Instead, it has more to do with the show’s time-jumps. Because "House of the Dragon" has to sum up years of tiny slights and larger drama in only 10 episodes, there’s no time to witness Rhaenyra’s experiences with rumor and gossip, which inadvertently makes the stakes feel lower than they should.
WATCH FREE ON TUBI: The historical drama series "Rome" — get the app
A lot of that comes back to the show’s source material. George R.R. Martin’s Westeros spinoff book "Fire & Blood" is structured less like a conventional novel, instead operating as something of a historical tome. And in echoing the text from which its springs, "House of the Dragon" is missing the small human moments that made audiences so desperately root for the characters in "Game of Thrones." So far, everyone seems to be trying their best to just get on with their lonely suffering. The more any of these characters try to fight against their cage, the smaller those cages seem to become.
"King of the Narrow Sea" is an episode ripe for discussion, and one that’s likely to become more interesting with repeat viewings — and as audiences become accustomed to an approach to sex that’s very different, and substantially better, than its parent series. Even if that classic "Game of Thrones" incest is still alive and well.
Next week
Rhaenyra flies the nest.
The first season of "House of the Dragon" is a 10-episode medieval fantasy series. New episodes arrive weekly through Oct. 23. Featuring: Milly Alcock, Paddy Considine, Emma D'Arcy, Matt Smith, Emily Carey, Olivia Cooke, Steve Toussaint, Eve Best, Fabien Frankel, Sonoya Mizuno, Rhys Ifans.
About the writer: Chloe Johnson is a freelance writer, magazine editor and longtime Sansa Stark fan. You can find her other work at The Bookseller, The Grammys, and The Independent.
Binge while you wait: "Shameless," streaming free on Tubi
Shameless (2004-2013): Before "Shamless" was a hit Showtime series starring Emmy Rossum and William H. Macy, it was a British dramedy featuring (among others) a young James McAvoy. Set on the fictional Chatsworth council estate in Manchester, "Shameless" chronicles the lives of the Gallagher family and their neighbors, zeroing in on the nuances of British working-class culture. Frank Gallagher (David Threlfall) is an alcoholic single dad trying (and mostly failing) to raise his six kids right. Instead it’s his eldest daughter Fiona (Anne-Marie Duff) who actually keeps things in order. "Shameless" deploys such a unique tone that it even managed to win both Best Drama Series at the BAFTA TV Awards and Best TV Comedy Drama at the British Comedy Awards. Rated TV-MA. 11 seasons, 139 episodes. Also featuring Rebecca Atkinson, Alice Barry.

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — More than two months after Richmond Police Chief Gerald Smith, Mayor Levar Stoney and members of the City Council announced that an alleged Independence Day mass shooting plot had been prevented in Richmond, 8News received a 263-page response to an information request from the police department, shedding new light on conversations behind the scenes.
The response, obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, includes text messages and emails sent before and after the July 6 press conference in which Chief Smith announced the alleged plot. For example, one text message dated Saturday, July 2, at 9:38 p.m. from Richmond Police Department (RPD) Chief of Staff Spence Cochran, reads as follows:
Hello, You might have been briefed… or read email the information was vague on Friday but they worked it and at least got more guns off street but at most maybe prevented mass shooting.
The new information from RPD was sent to 8News Monday afternoon, as charges against suspects Rolman Balcarcel and Julio Alvarado-Dubon continue to play out in court. However, neither Guatemalan national has been charged with an offense directly related to a planned or attempted mass shooting.
Another text sent to Richmond City Councilmember Katherine Jordan said, “With the rise in mass shootings across the country we have been working with our Federal partners to identify and mitigate any potential threats. Officers working tonight will be on high alert from anything suspicious. But everyone has to do their part ‘See something, say something’.”
Jordan was among those at the July 6 press conference when the alleged mass shooting plot was announced. In an Aug. 12 newsletter to members of the Second District, she called for “answers to legitimate questions” about the event.
Included in the 263-page response was an RPD email on July 7, listing available positions for additional security at Dogwood Dell, the location named by Chief Smith as the intended target of the shooting. However, no similar email was provided that showed similar preparations being made for the Independence Day celebration on July 4.
“That logic even was in play prior to the plot being known,” Smith told 8News during an August one-on-one interview. “We saw what was taking place around the country. We see the mass shootings at these gatherings, and we knew that our Fourth of July celebration was taking place at the Dogwood Dell, and we took precautions, in case we were to have such an event there.”
The July 6 announcement from RPD came just days after a mass shooting at an Independence Day parade in Highland Park, Illinois, killed seven and left 48 other injured.
Additional documentation also referenced national press coverage of the thwarted shooting in Richmond, as well as Operation Red Ball.
“[Police seek] information on violent offenders based on criminal evidence in the commission of major crimes, those who have been victims of violent crime, or involved with related criminal activity,” an RPD spokesperson told 8News of the program in early August.
According to police, the goal of the special operation, which resulted in the arrests of 177 people, was “to prevent violent crime and those illegally possessing firearms.” 8News reached out to authorities to clarify the involvement of Operation Red Ball in the July arrest of Alvarado-Dubon and Balcarcel, but is awaiting an answer.
Other pages of the FOIA response contained messages that were almost entirely redacted. However, in reference to the anonymous tip that was relayed to RPD on July 1, the documents included an email exchange among members of the department, which stated:
The below DPR call came in today. It was difficult to take as we were using the language line. No Spanish speaking officers at 2nd at that time. I called the XO. She stated to have Officer Ferreiras called the complainant and get first-hand information and then update the report and email.
DPR, or differential police response, is a management tool that extends the range of options for responding to requests for police service.
8News previously asked Chief Smith about the translation of the anonymous tip, during an August one-on-one interview, given that the suspects are both Spanish speakers who have translators at each of their respective court appearances.
“We did use the assistance of a translator,” Smith said.
Additional documentation obtained through the FOIA request confirmed the firearms and ammunition that were found when police searched a local residence on July 1, following up on the anonymous tip they received.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will address U.S. defense contractors later this month when he headlines the annual Future Force Capabilities Conference and Exhibition hosted by the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA).
Zelensky is scheduled to speak at the event Sept. 21, according to the program for the event available on the NDIA’s website. Oleksii Reznikov, Ukraine’s minister of defense, is also scheduled to speak that day.
News of the appearances was first reported by Reuters, which noted that the officials will speak via video link. Zelensky is expected to appeal for more weapons for his country during his speech, the outlet added.
News of the Ukrainian president’s speech to the NDIA — whose membership includes defense industry giants like Raytheon Technologies, Lockheed Martin and General Dynamics — comes as Kyiv looks to fend off Russia’s invasion as it drags through its sixth month.
Eight defense contractors — including Raytheon, Lockheed and General Dynamics — attended a meeting at the Pentagon in April to discuss how the U.S. could speed up production to help Ukraine fend off Moscow’s war.
The U.S. has committed $15.2 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since the beginning of the Biden administration, including $14.5 billion since Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24.
On Thursday, the U.S. unveiled a $675 million weapons package to Ukraine, including additional High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, additional high-speed anti-radiation missiles and more than 5,000 anti-armor systems, among other equipment.

The Justice Department has subpoenaed Stephen Miller, who served as a senior White House adviser under former President Trump, in its investigation into the events surrounding the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack, The New York Times reported, citing people briefed on the matter.
Miller was one of more than a dozen people connected to the former president who received subpoenas this week from a federal grand jury seeking information related to Trump’s Save America PAC and alleged plans to submit slates of fake electors in an effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election, according to the Times.
The federal grand jury also subpoenaed former White House political director Brian Jack, per the outlet.
Trump’s Save America PAC was formed days after the 2020 election was called for President Biden as the former president fundraised on his unfounded claims that the election was stolen.
Several junior and mid-level aides who served on Trump’s campaign or in the White House, Ivanka Trump’s chief of staff and the chief financial officer of Trump’s 2020 campaign have also received subpoenas seeking information related to the Save America PAC, the Times reported earlier this week.
The investigation is one of many Trump is currently facing.
The former president and the Justice Department are currently tied up in a legal battle related to the department’s investigation into documents recovered from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence.

As a member of the 1836 Project Advisory Committee, I’m writing to take issue with an opinion article about our work that Texas Monthly published by Leah LaGrone, an assistant professor at Weber State University who focuses on women in Texas history, and Michael Phillips, a senior research fellow and scholar of race relations at Southern Methodist University.
The authors suggested that I and other members of the 1836 Project Advisory Committee are dulling the senses of Texans “with self-serving fables” and “deceitful propaganda” and are creating a “sanitized and whitewashed history” of Texas. LaGrone and Phillips attacked the messengers, citing the 1776 report commissioned by then-president Donald Trump and writing, “The backgrounds of the committee members of Texas’s 1836 Project . . . indicate it will be similarly flawed.” The authors also focused obsessively on the number of words in the 4,517-word 1836 Project report dedicated to various topics in Texas history.
The authors seemed to dismiss my credibility by noting I’ve been critical of the book Forget the Alamo, but they at least did plug my website www.1836truth.com. Thanks for that! They could’ve mentioned my sponsorship, as a member of the Texas Senate, of legislation to create a Juneteenth monument and a commemorative license plate for the Buffalo Soldiers. They could’ve referenced my selection as Texan of the Year by the nonprofit group Celebrate Texas for my efforts to make Texas history relate to all Texans regardless of ethnicity, or my essential work in producing the documentary film (available on Amazon Prime) Porvenir, Texas, about fifteen innocent Tejanos killed by Texas Rangers in 1918. But those facts didn’t fit their narrative.
They went after others on the committee as well, including published PhD historians, simply for having, in the jaundiced view of the authors, questionable professional backgrounds that didn’t align with their concerns as specialists in race and gender studies.
However, they didn’t limit their disdain to committee members. In attempting to dismiss our recently completed history pamphlet (to be distributed to Texans when they obtain driver’s licenses), they referenced a 1918 state official who belonged to the United Daughters of the Confederacy, a 1950s Texas history textbook, and a former chair of the State Board of Education whose reappointment as chair was rejected by the Texas Senate in 2009 because he didn’t believe in evolution or the separation of church and state. That they failed to mention that fact suggests to me that they consider many Texas leaders, past and present, to be rubes.
LaGrone and Phillips presented a long list of topics, from the horrors of slavery to the triumphs of the civil rights movement, that they wished we had covered more extensively in our pamphlet. But they failed to cite any specific “self-serving fable” that we were guilty of promoting. Considering possible 1836 “fables” that might have been in the authors’ minds, the first topic that comes to mind is the Alamo. Problem is, there’s only one 32-word sentence out of 4,517 words in the entire committee report on the Alamo. So, were they referring to a “fable” about the battle of San Jacinto? Nope. There was only one sentence on that battle too.
Maybe we dwelled too much on Bowie, Crockett, and Travis? Probably not, because their names were each mentioned just once, and in the same sentence with the Alamo. Stephen F. Austin was mentioned once. On the other hand, Santa Anna was mentioned five times. Others mentioned were Cabeza de Vaca, Francisco Ruiz, Lorenzo de Zavala, Father Miguel Hidalgo, Oveta Culp Hobby, Dorie Miller, and Barbara Jordan, to name a few.
Also left out of the critique was any mention of a specific factual error. I suspect that was because there were no such errors.
LaGrone and Phillips were displeased that we spent too many words on the Texas Revolution. I see nothing abhorrent with allocating 601 of 4,517 words to the 1836 Texas Revolution by a committee described as the 1836 Project, but that’s just me.
I suspect the problem of these two academics is similar to that of the QAnon cultists—they only hang with those who think just as they do. They’re dismissive of conflicting historical facts and those who espouse those facts. They’re inclined to attack the messenger instead of the message.
The 1836 Project Advisory Committee held multiple public hearings. We invited the authors of Forget the Alamo to testify, but we received no response. All Texans were welcome to testify before the committee, a fact well known to Texas historians, including, I would imagine, LaGrone and Phillips, given their areas of interest. It’s unfortunate they chose to complain after the fact rather than speak up at a time when they could have influenced the final product.
Jerry Patterson is a former Texas land commissioner and former state senator. His opinions are his own and don’t necessarily reflect those of other members of the 1836 Project Advisory Committee.

Central Florida cancer survivors hopeful Biden's 'Moonshot' plan makes a difference
Sixty years ago Monday, President John F. Kennedy delivered his Moonshot speech, committing to putting man on the moon.
This Monday, President Joe Biden spoke about his vision for another American Moonshot: ending cancer.
The overall goals are to cut the death rate from cancer by at least 50% over the next 25 years and to improve the experience of people living with and surviving it.
Traudi Rayzor is a breast cancer survivor.
“I had stage 3. I lost my left breast and my left side. I went through eight chemo treatments, 37 radiation treatments, lost all my hair on my whole body, went through a very emotional time," she said.
Wanda Clines has also been through a number of treatments after being diagnosed twice. First with breast cancer in 1997.
“I had chemo. Six treatments and then I think 24 or 26 radiations... And then I got lipidemia on the left side, so started messing with that, and then in July of 2019, it came back,” Clines said.
That meant more chemo and more treatments.
“In April of this year, I had 38 treatments of radiation that were 45 minutes long,” Clines said.
Rayzor says in the beginning, it was difficult accessing certain shots she needed.
Clines says it’s difficult to access information.
“That’s what people need. They need knowledge. They need to know steps,” Clines said.
New actions in Biden’s Cancer Moonshot plan include improving cancer screenings, enhancing prevention, addressing inequities, targeting effective treatments, developing cures for deadly and rare cancers, including childhood cancers, better supporting patients, survivors and caregivers, and also learning more from people living with it.
Both women say they’re hopeful the plan makes a difference.
“It’s really, really a hard thing to go through. So hopefully that will do what it’s supposed to do, and it’s not just talk, you know,” Rayzor said.
Rayzor said she gets tested every six months and encourages others to also get tested often.

NEW BOSTON, Texas — A Texas woman accused of killing a woman to steal her unborn baby to present as her own went on trial for capital murder Monday.
District Attorney Kelley Crisp told the Bowie County jury Monday that Parker, 29, acted not because she wanted a baby but to keep from losing her boyfriend. Crisp said Parker disguised herself to make her look pregnant for nearly 10 months, faked ultrasounds, had a gender-reveal party and posted about her fake pregnancy on social media while searching for a possible victim, Crisp said.
Leaving the victim’s three-year-old daughter alone with her dying mother, Parker then drove with the baby in her lap when a state trooper stopped the car and sent the child to a hospital in nearby Idabel, Oklahoma. The child later died.
Witnesses said Parker, who could not conceive after a hysterectomy, had offered $100,000 for a surrogate mother and told her boyfriend that she would have an induced delivery the day of the killing.
Defense attorney Jeff Harrelson asked the six male and six female jurors not to fall prey to their emotions and to keep an open mind.
Parker could get the death penalty or life in prison without parole if convicted of capital murder. Attorneys estimated they would present at least two weeks of testimony.
New Boston is about 20 miles (32 kilometers) west of Texarkana, Texas.

Our Lily: Poet laureate Simon Armitage pens moving tribute to the Queen centred on her favourite flower
The poet laureate Simon Armitage has written a moving tribute to the Queen as a 'token of thanks' for her decades of service.
The poem, entitled Floral Tribute, refers to the monarch carrying the country in 'slender hands… hands that can rest, now, relieved of a century's weight'.
The 18-line poem takes the form of a double acrostic, meaning the first letter of each line in both stanzas spells the name Elizabeth.
It starts by describing the coming of a September evening – a reference to the month of the Queen's death – and says the 'determined' late afternoon cannot delay nightfall.
The poet then describes a lily illuminating the darkness and says it is a 'token of thanks'.
Lily of the valley was the Queen's favourite flower and was included in her coronation bouquet in 1953. Her childhood nickname was Lilibet and the poem also refers to lily of the valley as 'a namesake almost'.
The Queen chose it when the Royal Family shared their favourite blooms in 2020 after the pandemic forced the Chelsea Flower Show online.
Buckingham Palace said it had 'special associations' for the monarch since her coronation, and the sweet-scented flower also featured in Kate Middleton's wedding bouquet.
Often used to symbolise trustworthiness, the woodland plant is grown in the grounds at Buckingham Palace.
Mr Armitage refers to the Queen's coronation and her decades of service in the poem, writing: 'A promise made and kept for life – that was your gift.'
The Queen chose the Lily of the valley as her favourite flower in 2020 after the Covid pandemic forced the Chelsea Flower Show online
He continues: 'The country loaded its whole self into your slender hands,/ Hands that can rest, now, relieved of a century's weight.'
The second stanza begins with a reference to the Queen's death in Scotland: 'Evening has come. Rain on the black lochs and dark Munros.'
It pays tribute to her 'restrained zeal and forceful grace' and compares her to the lily of the valley, saying: 'Everything turns on these luminous petals and deep roots.'
It ends by suggesting the Queen's influence will last beyond her lifetime, as the lily's brightness 'holds and glows beyond the life and border of its bloom'. Mr Armitage, 59, has served as poet laureate since May 2019 and met the Queen once a year when she held audiences for the winner of her annual gold medal for poetry.
Earlier this year he wrote a 70-line poem, Queenhood, to mark her 70 years of service at the Platinum Jubilee. The poet, a former probation officer, also wrote an elegy for the death of the Duke of Edinburgh, The Patriarchs.
In an interview with The Times earlier this year, he said he had been 'won over by the Queen' and believed the nation needed the monarchy.

MELBOURNE, Australia, Sept. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Cabazitaxel (Jevtana, Sanofi) is a market leading chemotherapy for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer (mCRPC). Developed by Australian biotech company Starpharma, DEP® cabazitaxel is a patented, highly water soluble dendrimer nanoparticle version of standard cabazitaxel which has shown, in preclinical and clinical studies, benefits in terms of safety and efficacy.
In a poster presentation at ESMO[1] (European Society of Medical Oncology) by Principal investigator of the Starpharma trial[2], Professor Robert Jones of the Velindre Cancer Centre in Wales, exciting new data on the superior efficacy and lower incidence of key side effects in mCRPC patients was presented.
DEP® cabazitaxel showed multiple potential benefits for patients with mCRPC, including:
- A >30% improvement in median progression free survival (PFS; time a patient lives without disease progression following treatment) compared to standard cabazitaxel - 3.9 months v 2.9 months respectively
- 100% of evaluable DEP® cabazitaxel patients achieved a response in at least 1 measure of efficacy (soft tissue disease, prostate specific antigen and/or bone disease)
- Lower incidence of severe (Grade 3 or 4) treatment related adverse events (TRAEs) compared to standard cabazitaxel - 7.5% v 39.7% respectively
- No severe hypersensitivity reactions observed, or steroid pre-medication required, and only 2 patients required prophylactic G-CSF (used after chemotherapy to help white blood cells recover) in contrast to standard cabazitaxel.
Patients enrolled had an average age of 73 and were heavily pre-treated before entering the study (average of 4 other cancer treatment types - 70 cycles/months), in addition to surgery and radiation. 96% had also previously received either docetaxel and/or standard cabazitaxel (Jevtana). This age group and level of pre-treatment is important to note because these patients would not be expected to respond as well to further similar therapies and are at higher risk of neutropenic complications.
Starpharma CEO, Dr Jackie Fairley, commented: "These results show DEP® cabazitaxel achieved both a longer duration of PFS and fewer severe side effects compared to published data on Jevtana®, illustrating the potential for DEP® cabazitaxel to provide better outcomes for mCRPC patients."

HARRISBURG, Pa. - Around 50 people on bicycles Monday morning were pedaling for a purpose. Starting off in Montgomery County over the weekend, the riders biked 150 miles to Harrisburg. It was all to remember those who organizers say can be easily forgotten: fallen EMS workers.
Bikers pedaled their final push Monday morning, to the Capitol in Harrisburg. It was the bikers' third day in a row, finishing off 150 miles that started Saturday morning in Willow Grove.
It was all to honor fallen EMS workers.
"As you may notice, I'm not dressed like the rest of you," Doug Garretson, Chair of the Pennsylvania EMS Provider Foundation, said. "I'm in cycling attire."
Garretson was standing at a podium at the 12th annual EMS Memorial Service Monday morning, hosted by the foundation he chairs.
"To honor those emergency medical services personnel who have died in the line of duty," Garretson said. "And to recognize the ultimate sacrifice they have made for their fellow man."
Organizers say all too often they're forgotten. But EMS workers can also be overworked and underpaid.
"We've got to find a way to get them better," Chas McGarvey, Acting Pennsylvania State Fire Commissioner, told 69 News after the service. "EMS providers are working two three jobs just to make a decent wage."
And while many don't think it's a dangerous job, organizers say too many EMS providers in Pennsylvania have died as a result of the job.
"We've lost a lot of people over the years to suicide," McGarvey said. "PTSD."
The CDC says EMS providers are 1.39 times more likely to die by suicide than the public.
"There's a heavy, heavy feeling of knowing that you can't always save everybody," PA Sen. Katie Muth, D-44, said. "No matter what you do, no matter how fast you get there."
Many who have lost fellow first responders say the ride is a way to take action.
"So it's important for us to come together as a family because it helps us move on and carry on the torch," McGarvey said.
It's also a way to come together to change the future.
"We must use our memories and their impacts," Dr. Aaron Rhone, Director of the Bureau of EMS, said. "And grow the future of EMS and our profession."

Man said he was warned he risked arrest if he wrote `not my King´ on placard
A man who said he was told by a police officer that he risked being arrested if he wrote “not my King” on a placard in London now feels “more inclined to go out there and to protest to uphold our rights”.
Paul Powlesland, 36, a barrister and nature rights activist from Barking in east London, travelled into the centre of the capital on Monday afternoon with “a blank piece of paper”.
He told the PA news agency: “I went down there because I’ve been increasingly concerned by people who are just, you know, exercising rights to freedom of speech, being either arrested or threatened with arrest by the police.
“I actually couldn’t risk arrest as I’m due to be in tribunal (on Tuesday). So I just thought I’d take a blank piece of paper down there.
“Partly, as a comment as well on the lack of freedom of speech and how ridiculous it is. So I held that up and various police officers spoke to me and I tried to find out from some of them, whether if I wrote, ‘not my King’ on it, they would arrest me.
“They didn’t know or wouldn’t say, and then I went for a little walk around and went down towards Downing Street. And then that officer came up to me and began that conversation effectively asking for my details and then saying, if you write ‘not my King’ on it, then we may well arrest you for public order offences, being offensive.”
My Powlesland recorded part of his interaction with the officer and shared it on social media, where it was viewed more than 700,000 times in around four hours.
“Why would you ask for my details?” he can be heard asking the officer, who said “I wanted to make sure you didn’t have bail conditions (inaudible).”
The officer replied: “You said you were going to write stuff on it, that may offend people, around the King. It may offend someone.
“Who’s that going to offend?” asked Mr Powlesland.
“I don’t know, someone may be offended by it,” replied the officer.
The Met’s Deputy Assistant Commissioner Stuart Cundy said: “We’re aware of a video online showing an officer speaking with a member of the public outside the Palace of Westminster earlier today.
“The public absolutely have a right to protest and we have been making this clear to all officers involved in the extraordinary policing operation currently in place and we will continue to do so.
“However, the overwhelming majority of interactions between officers and the public at this time have been positive as people have come to the Capital to mourn the loss of Her Late Majesty the Queen.”
The arrests of anti-monarchy protesters after the death of the Queen have been described as “deeply concerning” and an “affront to democracy” by free speech and human rights campaigners.

Since the proclamation of King Charles III, at least three arrests have been made in Scotland and Oxford on suspicion of breach of the peace and public order offences.
Mr Powlesland said he was not arrested, but added that his interaction had only strengthened his feelings.
“It feels like a very odd time, when there does seem to be… using the respect that is due to the Queen and her death, as a way of silencing any dissent over Charles’s accession,” he said.
“The officer himself was from Norfolk Police. And I basically said, you know, maybe go back to Norfolk, and actually do what you’re supposed to do as a police officer, protecting ordinary people from crime, rather than messing around and telling people what they can and can’t have on signs in London.
“Initially, these things make you feel scared, but afterwards, it actually makes me feel more inclined to go out there and to protest to uphold our rights.
“I’m not actually a republican, or I wasn’t before this week. Like most British people, I was vaguely ambivalent to the monarchy. But this week, and what’s been happening, has made me republican.
“One of the many things that makes me proud to be British is our freedom of speech. It’s one of our most precious and sacred rights and it’s far more precious to me than the royal family is.”

Top House Democrats requested an investigation into airline companies use of pandemic funds on Thursday, following weeks of thousands of flights across the getting canceled and delayed.
In a letter to Deputy Inspector General of the Treasury Richard Delmar, Reps. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) and James Clyburn (D-S.C.) said that they were “concerned” that federal funds may have been used to pay for buyouts and early retirement packages for pilots.
“We are concerned that some airlines have used federal funds obtained during the pandemic to provide buyouts and early retirement packages for pilots, which may be exacerbating a shortage of commercial pilots,” the pair wrote.
The airline industry received more than $60 billion in pandemic-related funds from the CARES Act signed into law by former President Trump in 2020, according to the lawmakers. The funding was meant to keep workers on the payroll while COVID-19 mitigation efforts, such as lockdowns, curfews and travel bans remained in place.
But several airlines cut a large portion of their workforce and urged employees to retire early, they said. “At the same time, the airlines “benefitted from record high revenues,” they continued.
“American taxpayers supported the airline industry during its darkest days at the start of the coronavirus pandemic. Americans deserve transparency into how airlines have used the federal funds they have received.”
Maloney and Clyburn contended that these reported buyouts and early retirements have contributed to a pilot shortage, thus exacerbating flight issues for travelers.
“These early retirement programs exacerbated an existing pilot shortage within the airline industry, since by law pilots must retire at age 65,” they said.
“Millions of travelers have been impacted by widespread flight delays and cancellations, with the pilot shortage being a major contributing factor”
Maloney and Clyburn also pointed to earlier reports from the Treasury’s Office of the Inspector General which found issues with the airlines’ payroll calculations used to determine how much pandemic-related funding they received.
“Under the Trump Administration, Treasury allowed aviation contractors to layoff thousands of workers while still receiving full payroll support based on pre-pandemic workforce numbers,” the Democratic lawmakers noted.
Struggling with staffing shortages, particularly among pilots, airlines have canceled and delayed thousands of flights on major travel weekends, frustrating passengers and leading to a rise in complaints.

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – There aren’t enough teachers to fill America’s classrooms — and the Biden administration wants to help fix the problem.
First Lady Dr. Jill Biden and Education Secretary Miguel Cardona visited schools in Tennessee and North Carolina on Monday to talk about the teacher shortage and how to fix it. They highlighted federal efforts to launch apprenticeship programs and push for higher teacher pay.
“Recruit. Respect. Retain,” Dr. Biden said “If we want educators to be able to do what they do best, we have to give them the support that they deserve.”
Teachers union advocates welcome those steps at the federal level. Mary Kusler with the National Education Association says local leaders need to do more too.
“The majority of these decisions are being made at the local level. So we need to see communities who are stepping up and standing by their educators,” Kusler said.
She says that means efforts to improve work environments for teachers and bump up their pay.
“We keep expecting more and more from our educators and not necessarily giving them a living wage to even live in the communities that they teach,” Kusler said.
American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten agrees. She adds investing in teachers now is critical for education’s long-term future.
“To send a message to young people that we want you in the profession. That you’re going to be valued,” Weingarten said.
Both advocates say leaders need to show more respect for teachers.
“We need help from politicians, not smearing and jeering,” Weingarten said.

MCCLURE, Pa. — There is not much happening at the fairgrounds in McClure during the daytime, but behind the scenes, volunteers are busy stirring soup. But this is not just any soup.
"Beans, there's salt in it and then just hamburger and water," Brandon Snook said.
This is McClure's Bean Soup Festival. It's the 131st year for the event.
"It started with Civil War veterans getting together as a reunion, and it's grown into a fair now," Dez Ewig said.
There are vendors, rides, and games, but the big attraction is the bean soup. Last year volunteers made more than 30 kettles, and it's a lot of work! The soup must be constantly stirred, so it doesn't burn.
"From start to being done is 3-3.5 hours depending on the heat," Snook said.
Volunteers start serving each day at noon.
"Sometimes we even get people from out of state that have to come and get some soup," Ewig said.
Some people come more than once.
"Every day! I wouldn't miss it. Every day yeah," Andrew Benner said.
This year the committee is raffling off one of these authentic kettles. So if you're the winner, you can make bean soup at home and have it all year round.
The kettle has been used during past festivals. Tickets are $3 or two for $5. The drawing is Saturday.
"They can do whatever they want with it, hopefully not turn it into a flower pot, but if you do, just don't let us know about it," Ewig said.
The McClure Bean Soup Festival runs through Saturday.

MADRID (AP) — Against the backdrop of Picasso´s iconic anti-war painting, “Guernica,” the culture ministers of France and Spain gathered Monday in Madrid’s Reina Sofía Museum to kick off a year of commemorative acts to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the death of the Spanish artist who revolutionized the world of art.
In “Picasso Celebration,” France and Spain will be organizing more than 40 exhibitions conferences and other events in museums in Madrid, Paris, Barcelona, Málaga and other cities in Europe and North America over the next 12 months.
Picasso was born October 25, 1881, in Málaga and died in Mougins, France, on April 8, 1973.
“Our aim is to revindicate the artistic legacy of Picasso and the relevance of his work,” said Spanish Culture Minister Miquel Iceta.
“If there is one artist that defines the 20th century, who presents it in all its cruelty, violence, passion, excesses and contradictions, that artist is Pablo Picasso.”
Although born in Spain. Picasso spent most of his adult life in France.
In a career spanning nearly eight decades. he is said to have created tens of thousands of paintings, drawings, sculptures and ceramics covering an incredible range of styles and movements that made him possibly the most influential and celebrated artist of the past 150 years.
Together with artist Georges Braque, he started the avant-garde Cubist movement that radically changed European painting and sculpture.
“The abundant, inventive and often radical work of Picasso continues to exert a genuine fascination throughout the world,” said French Culture Minister Rima Abdul Malak.
Picasso’s reputation for having mistreated many of the women in his life is not being ignored during the anniversary and will be the subject of more than one conference and exhibition during the year.
“We want to present Picasso as he was,” said Iceta. “Celebrate his work of course but not hide some of the aspects of his life that seen from today might be controversial.”
Abdul Malak said there was no denying there was a lot of debate about how Picasso should be perceived, particular in his relation with women and his sometimes violent nature but she said these topics needed to be debated, not covered up.
The anniversary was launched in front of “Guernica” — by far Picasso’s most famous painting. It was commissioned by the Republican government of Spain to represent the country at a Universal Exposition in Paris in 1937 when Spain was in the throes of a bloody civil war started by future dictator Gen. Francisco Franco.
The black and white canvas comprises tormented and distorted figures — human and animal — and represents the horrors of mechanized war.

STATHAM, Ga. (AP) — Republican Gov. Brian Kemp said Monday that he wants Georgia to provide grants to school districts to help students catch up on what they might have missed because of the COVID-19 pandemic, expand the number of school counselors, encourage teacher aides to become full-fledged teachers and pass a law requiring school lockdown drills.
Kemp unveiled a relatively modest set of K-12 education proposals as part of his second-term reelection effort at an elementary school in Oconee County, the same school where one of his daughters was a teacher last year.
“We have more work to do to address pandemic learning loss, bring more educators and counselors into our schools, and keep our students and staff safe,” Kemp said at Dove Creek Elementary School in Statham, just outside Athens.
Kemp made a $5,000 pay raise for teachers a centerpiece of his agenda when he was running in 2018 and delivered the final chunk of the money this year, but he didn’t propose a pay raise for his second term on Monday, although in response to reporter questions, he said he would “continue to work support all state employees to make the pay scale competitive in the future.”
Democrat Stacey Abrams, who is running against Kemp again after losing narrowly to him in 2018, has proposed boosting average teacher pay over four years to $75,000, and guaranteeing a starting salary of $50,000. The plan would cost $1.65 billion in new spending over four years, Abrams has said.
Alex Floyd, a spokesperson for Abrams, attacked the governor’s failure to propose an additional pay raise for teachers.
“With Georgia stuck at 21st in the nation in teacher pay, Kemp is declaring mission accomplished as our state struggles to recruit and retain the best and the brightest educators to serve our students,” Floyd said.
Kemp again attacked Abrams’ spending proposals.
“I have news for people back home, she can only do that if she raises your taxes,” the Republican said Monday.
Kemp has made few promises thus far for what he would do in a second term. His biggest proposal has been a pledge to use $2 billion in surplus state money to provide $1 billion in state income tax rebates and $1 billion in property tax relief. Abrams has proposed a much more ambitious plan, including expanding Medicaid, promoting affordable housing, expanding college financial aid, tightening gun laws and blocking further restrictions on abortion.
Kemp said he would propose to lawmakers that the state should offer $25 million in grants to school districts using state money to provide additional tutoring, nontraditional staff, or boost existing services.
During the 2021-2022 school year, 64% of third graders read at grade level or above, according to results from Georgia’s standardized tests, while 73% of third graders read at or above grade level during the 2018-2019 school year. Officials attribute the drop to pandemic-related disruptions.
“By working with our local school systems and providing targeted funding to bring these kids back up to grade level, I am confident we can lend a helping hand to the students who need it most,” Kemp said.
However, the $25 million pales in comparison to the $6 billion in federal aid that Georgia’s 181 public school districts have gotten during the pandemic. School districts must spend more than $750 million of that money improving academic performance. Kemp said his program would be targeted only to 44,000 fourth-graders who are reading below grade level.
Kemp also said he would recommend giving districts another $25 million to recruit more counselors statewide. Right now, the state funding formula mandates funding for one counselor for every 450 students, but it has never been fully funded. The governor also proposed spending $15 million to give $3,000 to teacher aides who already have four-year degrees to become certified as teachers.
Kemp said he would seek to enhance school safety by passing a law requiring schools to offer “intruder alert drills” once each August and September, with a requirement to report drills to the state. Some fear such drills traumatize students, but Kemp said his proposal would allow parents to opt students out of the drills.
Kemp said he would also propose letting teachers take school safety and anti-gang training, require that school security plans, already legally mandated, be submitted to the state, and recommend continuing education for school resource officers.

Vinfast reported on Saturday that it has delivered the first 100 of its VF 8 electric SUVs in its home market of Vietnam, ahead of wider availability and international deliveries in the U.S., Canada, and Europe expected by the end of the year.
At a delivery event held at the company’s Hai Phong manufacturing complex the company said it delivered the vehicles to “pioneer customers who made the earliest reservations.”
Vinfast had said that it will make its first deliveries of both the VF 8 and the larger VF 9 by the end of the year, although it appears to have pushed the timeline forward into 2023 for the VF 9. It now says that the first US global delivery of the VF 8 is expected to happen in December 2022.
The VF 8 is 187.0 inches long by 76.1 inches wide and 65.6 inches high overall. It includes a dual-motor drive system and in its Eco version makes 349 hp and about 369 lb-ft of torque, while Plus versions make 402 hp and about 457 lb-ft of torque. On the European/global WLTP cycle, Vinfast is claiming a range of up to 260 miles for the Eco and up to 248 miles for the Plus. The company affirmed in a release announcing the first deliveries that the VF 8 includes a highway driving assist system with automated lane changes, plus remote parking assist, and a smart summon mode. It also details an app that offers more ways to remotely access and interact with the vehicle than most other automakers currently offer.
Vinfast’s timeline in the U.S. has indeed been very fast. It established its U.S. headquarters just last November, and that same month displayed early prototypes of the VF 8 and VF 9—then named VF e35 and VF e36. In July opened its first U.S. retail stores, in California, and announced $1.2 billion in incentives from North Carolina—the largest economic incentive package ever from the state, it claimed—in a planned factory in that state. The company said that it will expand its retail footprint to other states in the future.
Initial deliveries for the U.S. will be sourced from Vietnam, but the company says that the North Carolina plant will eventually build U.S.-bound VF 8 and VF 9 SUVs. Likewise, there are plans for a corresponding plant in Germany.
We’ve had a couple of advance looks at these models, but as recently as the New York auto show in April a VF 8 prototype didn’t yet look at a production level in the details. In an April preview drive, we also found the VF 8 to need some development and fine-tuning yet—surprising given the delivery target.
Vinfast says it will include a 10-year warranty on the SUVs, and pricing for Vinfast vehicles is different than any other automaker has attempted in the U.S. The company will sell its EVs for as little as $40,700 for the Eco and $47,700 for the Plus, but pricing is worked out around a battery subscription program that essentially replaces a battery warranty—and doesn’t include an extra monthly battery subscription of $35/month. How this affects retail and residual values, or basics like insurance costs, remains to be seen, as the battery pack remains a Vinfast asset. As an alternative, Vinfast this month announced a separate plan to all customers to buy the battery pack with the vehicle.

Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Mark Warner (D-Va.) on Sunday marked the 21-year anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks by warning of domestic threats the U.S. is currently facing.
“I remember, as most Americans do, where they were on 9/11. I was in the middle of a political campaign and suddenly, the differences with my opponent seem very small in comparison and our country came together,” Warner said on CBS “Face the Nation” with host Margaret Brennan.
“The stunning thing to me is here we are 20 years later, and the attack on the symbol of our democracy was not coming from terrorists, but it came from literally insurgents attacking the Capitol on Jan. 6.”
Warner lauded the nation’s unity and progress in the face of international terror threats, and said he hopes the country can similarly rally in the face of domestic challenges.
“I believe our intelligence community has performed remarkably. I think the threat of terror has diminished … But I do worry about some of the activity in this country where the election deniers, the insurgency that took place on Jan. 6, that is something I hope we could see that same kind of unity of spirit.”
Warner leads what he called “the last functioning bipartisan committee,” the Intelligence Committee, along with vice chairman Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.). The panel is now looking into the classified documents found when the FBI executed a search warrant at former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence last month.

Voters will be heading to the polls in New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Delaware next Tuesday to weigh in on some of the last primaries this year before turning their attention to November.
While the spotlight will be on New Hampshire’s Republican Senate primary, which will determine who takes on Sen. Maggie Hassan (D) in November, next week’s primaries will prove consequential in several gubernatorial and House races as well.
Those primaries will determine whether Govs. Dan McKee (D) of Rhode Island and Chris Sununu (R) of New Hampshire prevail in their reelection bids, while several races in New Hampshire will determine who will take on two vulnerable Democratic incumbents in the House.
Here’s a look at the races we’re watching next week.
New Hampshire GOP Senate primary
Next week’s primary will be closely watched as Republicans determine which candidate they want to see go head to head with Hassan, who is vying for a second term in one of the year’s most competitive Senate races. She won her first term in 2016 by about a tenth of a percentage point, and Republicans are eager to see the seat flip.
While the field has attracted close to a dozen GOP candidates, retired Army Gen. Don Bolduc and state Senate President Chuck Morse are seen as the leading candidates.
Bolduc has garnered controversy for previously supporting former President Trump’s claims that he won the 2020 election — claims from which Bolduc has recently backtracked — and for calling Sununu a “communist sympathizer.” He ran for Senate in 2020, losing the GOP nomination to Republican candidate Corky Messner. Messner later lost to Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D) by a 15-percentage point margin.
Morse, considered the more establishment Republican, has focused on school choice, completing the wall at the southern border and reforming supply chain regulations. In a last-minute boost, Sununu announced on Thursday that he would be endorsing Morse.
Both Republicans and Democrats have poured money into the race. Republicans have spent money airing ads criticizing Bolduc, whom some in the GOP worry would be a weak candidate against Hassan, while Democrats have aired ads targeting Morse.
The nonpartisan Cook Political Report rates the seat as “lean Democrat.”
New Hampshire GOP gubernatorial primary
Sununu is seeking his fourth run for office after dashing hopes held among some Republicans that he would run for Senate. While he’s competing against a handful of candidates in the GOP primary, recent polling shows he’s likely to prevail.
Among some of the candidates vying for the chance to take on Sununu include U.S. Marine Corps veteran Julian Acciard, “biker” candidate Jay Lewis, professional logger Richard McMenamon II, small business owner Thad Riley and Karen Testerman, who served in Franklin, N.H., as a former city councilor.
Despite Republican candidates targeting him over his criticism of Trump and how he’s dealt with the COVID-19 pandemic, a University of New Hampshire Survey Center Granite State Poll released earlier this month shows Sununu on a likely easy reelection path.
The poll found that Sununu received 72 percent support among likely Republican primary voters compared to Riley, who placed second at 7 percent.
New Hampshire 1st Congressional District GOP primary
The GOP primary to take on Rep. Chris Pappas (D.), who represents the state’s 1st Congressional District, has attracted a crowded field of candidates in a race that the nonpartisan Cook Political Report rates as a “toss up.”
A University of New Hampshire Survey Center Granite State Poll released late last month showed two former Trump administration officials — former State Department official Matt Mowers (26 percent) and former White House assistant press secretary Karoline Leavitt (24 percent) — as the leading contenders among likely GOP primary voters.
Other candidates running in the race include journalist Gail Huff Brown — the wife of former Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) — former state Sen. Russell Prescott and state Rep. Tim Baxter, among others. If Mowers wins reelection, it would set up a rematch with Pappas. The two went head to head in 2020, with Pappas prevailing by a 5-percentage point margin.
If Leavitt notches the GOP primary and wins the seat in November, she could be among the first Gen Z candidates to win office.
New Hampshire 2nd Congressional District GOP primary
Voters will weigh in on seven Republican candidates next Tuesday eager to take on Rep. Ann Kuster (D) in November for the state’s 2nd Congressional District.
Among those vying for the Republican nomination include bar manager and bartender Scott Black; Bob Burns, a former deputy state director for Newt Gingrich’s 2012 presidential campaign; stone craft artist Michael Callis; Keene, N.H., Mayor George Hansel; Jay Mercer, a department head at New Hampshire Technical Institute and Rivier University; Army veteran Dean Poirier and Lily Tang Williams, who serves as supervisor of the checklist in Weare, N.H.
A University of New Hampshire Survey Center Granite State Poll released late last month showed Burns leading his Republican contenders with 32 percent among likely Republican primary voters, followed by Hansel with 18 percent. Williams placed third at 10 percent.
The Cook Political Report rates the seat a “toss up.”
Rhode Island Democratic gubernatorial primary
Gov. Dan McKee (D) is looking to win his first full term as governor after he was elevated to the post in 2021 after then-Gov. Gina Raimondo (D) left office to serve as Commerce secretary under the Biden administration.
McKee, who prior to his governorship served as the state’s lieutenant governor between 2015 and 2021, is facing four other challengers for the state’s top post: state Secretary of State Nellie Gorbea, former state Secretary of State Matt Brown, former CVS executive Helena Foulkes and physician Luis Daniel Muñoz.
A 12 News-Roger Williams University Poll released in August showed McKee leading his Democratic contenders with 28 percent of support among Democratic primary voters in the state. Gorbea followed in second with 25 percent while Foulkes received 14 percent. Brown and Muñoz both received less than 10 percent.
The Cook Political Report rates the seat as “solid Democrat,” meaning whoever wins on Tuesday will be the heavy favorite in November.
Rhode Island 2nd Congressional District Democratic primary
Rep. Jim Langevin (D) announced earlier this year that he would not be seeking reelection after serving for two decades in Congress, leaving the seat open in a race that Cook Political Reports rates as a “toss up.”
While only one Republican is running on the GOP side, five candidates are looking to secure the Democratic nomination. Those include state General Treasurer Seth Magaziner; former state lawmaker David Segal; former Commerce Department official Sarah Morgenthau; small business owner Joy Fox; and Refugee Dream Center founder Omar Bah.
Another Democratic candidate, Spencer Dickinson, suspended “the active part of his campaign,” The Providence Journal reported.
A 12 News-Roger Williams University Poll released in August shows Magaziner leading the pack by double digits with 37 percent support among Democratic primary voters in the state, followed by Segal and Morgenthau both with 8 percent. Fox, Bah and Dickinson both received less than 5 percent.

Voters will be heading to the polls in New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Delaware next Tuesday to weigh in on some of the last primaries this year before turning their attention to November.
While the spotlight will be on New Hampshire’s Republican Senate primary, which will determine who takes on Sen. Maggie Hassan (D) in November, next week’s primaries will prove consequential in several gubernatorial and House races as well.
Those primaries will determine whether Govs. Dan McKee (D) of Rhode Island and Chris Sununu (R) of New Hampshire prevail in their reelection bids, while several races in New Hampshire will determine who will take on two vulnerable Democratic incumbents in the House.
Here’s a look at the races we’re watching next week.
New Hampshire GOP Senate primary
Next week’s primary will be closely watched as Republicans determine which candidate they want to see go head to head with Hassan, who is vying for a second term in one of the year’s most competitive Senate races. She won her first term in 2016 by about a tenth of a percentage point, and Republicans are eager to see the seat flip.
While the field has attracted close to a dozen GOP candidates, retired Army Gen. Don Bolduc and state Senate President Chuck Morse are seen as the leading candidates.
Bolduc has garnered controversy for previously supporting former President Trump’s claims that he won the 2020 election — claims from which Bolduc has recently backtracked — and for calling Sununu a “communist sympathizer.” He ran for Senate in 2020, losing the GOP nomination to Republican candidate Corky Messner. Messner later lost to Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D) by a 15-percentage point margin.
Morse, considered the more establishment Republican, has focused on school choice, completing the wall at the southern border and reforming supply chain regulations. In a last-minute boost, Sununu announced on Thursday that he would be endorsing Morse.
Both Republicans and Democrats have poured money into the race. Republicans have spent money airing ads criticizing Bolduc, whom some in the GOP worry would be a weak candidate against Hassan, while Democrats have aired ads targeting Morse.
The nonpartisan Cook Political Report rates the seat as “lean Democrat.”
New Hampshire GOP gubernatorial primary
Sununu is seeking his fourth run for office after dashing hopes held among some Republicans that he would run for Senate. While he’s competing against a handful of candidates in the GOP primary, recent polling shows he’s likely to prevail.
Among some of the candidates vying for the chance to take on Sununu include U.S. Marine Corps veteran Julian Acciard, “biker” candidate Jay Lewis, professional logger Richard McMenamon II, small business owner Thad Riley and Karen Testerman, who served in Franklin, N.H., as a former city councilor.
Despite Republican candidates targeting him over his criticism of Trump and how he’s dealt with the COVID-19 pandemic, a University of New Hampshire Survey Center Granite State Poll released earlier this month shows Sununu on a likely easy reelection path.
The poll found that Sununu received 72 percent support among likely Republican primary voters compared to Riley, who placed second at 7 percent.
New Hampshire 1st Congressional District GOP primary
The GOP primary to take on Rep. Chris Pappas (D.), who represents the state’s 1st Congressional District, has attracted a crowded field of candidates in a race that the nonpartisan Cook Political Report rates as a “toss up.”
A University of New Hampshire Survey Center Granite State Poll released late last month showed two former Trump administration officials — former State Department official Matt Mowers (26 percent) and former White House assistant press secretary Karoline Leavitt (24 percent) — as the leading contenders among likely GOP primary voters.
Other candidates running in the race include journalist Gail Huff Brown — the wife of former Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) — former state Sen. Russell Prescott and state Rep. Tim Baxter, among others. If Mowers wins reelection, it would set up a rematch with Pappas. The two went head to head in 2020, with Pappas prevailing by a 5-percentage point margin.
If Leavitt notches the GOP primary and wins the seat in November, she could be among the first Gen Z candidates to win office.
New Hampshire 2nd Congressional District GOP primary
Voters will weigh in on seven Republican candidates next Tuesday eager to take on Rep. Ann Kuster (D) in November for the state’s 2nd Congressional District.
Among those vying for the Republican nomination include bar manager and bartender Scott Black; Bob Burns, a former deputy state director for Newt Gingrich’s 2012 presidential campaign; stone craft artist Michael Callis; Keene, N.H., Mayor George Hansel; Jay Mercer, a department head at New Hampshire Technical Institute and Rivier University; Army veteran Dean Poirier and Lily Tang Williams, who serves as supervisor of the checklist in Weare, N.H.
A University of New Hampshire Survey Center Granite State Poll released late last month showed Burns leading his Republican contenders with 32 percent among likely Republican primary voters, followed by Hansel with 18 percent. Williams placed third at 10 percent.
The Cook Political Report rates the seat a “toss up.”
Rhode Island Democratic gubernatorial primary
Gov. Dan McKee (D) is looking to win his first full term as governor after he was elevated to the post in 2021 after then-Gov. Gina Raimondo (D) left office to serve as Commerce secretary under the Biden administration.
McKee, who prior to his governorship served as the state’s lieutenant governor between 2015 and 2021, is facing four other challengers for the state’s top post: state Secretary of State Nellie Gorbea, former state Secretary of State Matt Brown, former CVS executive Helena Foulkes and physician Luis Daniel Muñoz.

A new book by former Trump aide Peter Navarro claims that the former president was supportive of an attempt to remove his son-in-law Jared Kushner from having control over his 2020 campaign and replace him with Stephen Bannon.
Navarro in the book, obtained by The Guardian, describes the plan as a “coup d’état,” but the change never occurred because Kushner refused.
“And that was that. And the rest is a catastrophic strategic failure history,” Navarro wrote, according to The Guardian.
Navarro, a critic of Kushner, will later this month release the book, titled “Taking Back Trump’s America: Why We Lost the White House and How We’ll Win It Back.”
Trump, while supportive of the move, feared “family troubles if [he] himself had to deliver the bad news to … the father of his grandchildren,” so he did not bring up the subject with Kushner.
Instead, the president asked Home Depot founder Bernie Marcus, a prominent GOP donor, to tell Kushner.
Kushner at first skipped a call from Marcus and then later told him, “things were fine with the campaign, there was no way he was stepping down and, in effect, Bernie Marcus and his big moneybags could go pound sand,” according to Navarro’s account.
The Hill has reached out to a Trump spokesperson for comment.
Navarro has lashed out at Kushner in the past. After Kushner revealed in his book that he was treated for thyroid cancer while serving in the White House, Navarro said during a Newsmax interview that the revelation “came out of nowhere” and accused Kushner of trying to get “sympathy to try to sell his book.”
Navarro has also come under scrutiny in recent months over his defiance of subpoenas issued by the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
A federal grand jury indicted Navarro this summer on two counts of criminal contempt of Congress. In court following his arrest, Navarro lashed out at Congress and federal law enforcement.
Earlier that week, the former Trump trade adviser filed a civil complaint challenging the House panel’s authority, also revealing he received a grand jury subpoena as part of the Justice Department’s Jan. 6 investigation.

Biden channels JFK in ‘moonshot speech,’ highlights administration's efforts fighting cancer
President Biden said cancer does not distinguish between red and blue
Speaking on the 60th anniversary of John F. Kennedy’s famous moonshot speech, in which he vowed to send a man to the moon by the end of the decade, President Biden outlined his administration’s plan to cut the U.S. death rate from cancer in half over the next quarter-century.
The president said the nation – as it was in the early 1960s – is at an inflection point and vowed to organize and measure the best of the country’s energies and skills to end, and even cure, cancer "once and for all."
Biden, who shared the stage with Kennedy’s daughter, U.S. ambassador to Australia Caroline Kennedy, and her son, John Schlossberg, highlighted the enormous progress made in the last half-century since President Nixon signed the National Cancer Act but lamented that it still remains the second-highest killer of people in the U.S. after heart disease.
"Cancer does not (discriminate) between red and blue. It doesn’t care if you’re a Republican or a Democrat. Beating cancer is something we can do together," Biden said told the crowd at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum.
CHILDHOOD CANCER TAKES TOLL ON FAMILIES AS WELL, AND HERE'S HOW YOU CAN HELP
Biden also addressed the difficulties poised by information silos and healthcare costs that make treatments out of reach for many people.
"To address inequities, we can ensure prevention, detection, treatment, reach patients in urban, rural, suburban and tribal communities, so they have equal access to cancer diagnostics, therapeutics, and clinical trials," Biden said. "As part of the supercharge moonshot, I'll use my authority as president to increase funding, to … break logjams, to speed breakthroughs."
The president was traveling to Boston on Monday to draw attention to a new federally backed study that seeks evidence for using blood tests to screen against multiple cancers — a potential game-changer in diagnostic testing to dramatically improve early detection of cancers.
The speech came as the president seeks to rally the nation around developing treatments and therapeutics for the pervasive diseases. Biden reiterated his vision to move the U.S. closer to the goal he set in February of cutting U.S. cancer fatalities by 50% over the next 25 years and to dramatically improve the lives of caregivers and those suffering from cancer.
In 2022, the American Cancer Society estimates, 1.9 million new cancer cases will be diagnosed and 609,360 people will die of cancer diseases.
JANE FONDA GIVES HEALTH UPDATE AFTER BEING DIAGNOSED WITH NON-HODGKIN'S LYMPHOMA
The issue is personal to Biden, who lost his adult son Beau in 2015 to brain cancer. After Beau's death, Congress passed the 21st Century Cures Act, which dedicated $1.8 billion over seven years for cancer research and was signed into law in 2016 by President Barack Obama.
Obama designated Biden, then vice president, to run "mission control" on directing the cancer funds as a recognition of Biden's grief as a parent and desire to do something about it.
Biden has tried to maintain momentum for investments in public health research, including championing the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health, modeled after similar research and development initiatives benefiting the Pentagon and intelligence community.
On Monday, Biden announced Dr. Renee Wegrzyn as the inaugural director of ARPA-H, which has been tasked with studying treatments and potential cures for cancers, Alzheimer's, diabetes and other diseases. He also announced a new National Cancer Institute scholars' program to provide resources to early-career scientists studying treatments and cures for cancer.
Experts agree it's far too early to say whether these new blood tests for finding cancer in healthy people will have any effect on cancer deaths. There have been no studies to show they reduce the risk of dying from cancer. Still, they say setting an ambitious goal is important.

Scientists now understand that cancer is not a single disease, but hundreds of diseases that respond differently to different treatments. Some cancers have biomarkers that can be targeted by existing drugs that will slow a tumor's growth.

U.S. Soccer says an investigation into alleged abuse and misconduct in the National Women's Soccer League is expected to be completed by early next month.
The investigation, led by former acting U.S. Attorney General Sally Yates, was initiated last fall after North Carolina Courage coach Paul Riley was accused of sexual harassment and coercion by two former players.
Riley was fired and league Commissioner Lisa Baird stepped down in the wake of the players' claims. U.S. Soccer and the NWSL and its players association announced separate investigations.
U.S. Soccer issued a brief statement on the status of its probe Monday: “Last October, U.S. Soccer retained Sally Q. Yates of King & Spalding LLP to lead an independent investigation into allegations of abusive behavior and sexual misconduct in women’s professional soccer. That investigation is nearing its conclusion. U.S. Soccer will publish the full report by early October, following the completion of the investigation."
Riley was among five NWSL coaches who were either dismissed or stepped down last season amid claims of inappropriate behavior.
In Riley's case, the alleged misconduct stretched back more than 10 years, and encompassed his time with the Portland Thorns in 2014-15. The league was informed about the allegations, but the Thorns did not make them public. Riley went on to coach elsewhere in the league.
U.S. Soccer said at the time it launched the investigation that Yates would have autonomy in her inquiry.
“The scope of our investigation is broad,” Yates said in a statement in February. “We are investigating not only allegations of misconduct, but also the factors that may have contributed to, perpetuated, or concealed abuse. Our mandate is to find the truth and make recommendations to ensure that going forward, players are treated respectfully, wrongdoing is uncovered and addressed, and players are protected from harassment or retaliation.”

Vice President Harris said in an interview broadcast on Sunday that she would again run on President Biden’s ticket in 2024 if he decides to seek reelection.
“The president has been very clear that he intends to run again,” Harris told host Chuck Todd on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
“And if he does, I will be running with him proudly,” Harris added.
Biden and his aides have insisted the president plans to run for reelection if his health allows.
But some Democrats have dodged questions about whether they would support another White House bid by Biden, the oldest president in U.S. history, who also faces low approval ratings.
His approval rating, however, has made gains in recent days following a string of recent legislative victories for Democrats and easing inflation, although it still remains underwater.
Harris also told Todd she was “very proud” to serve as Biden’s vice president.
“We talk about family a lot,” she said. “We talk about our hopes, we talk about our dreams, we talk about the things that concern us, that worry us, the things that keep us excited about everything we are doing.”
“It’s a real friendship. We have a real friendship, and I cherish that,” Harris added.
If Biden decides to run for a second term, his candidacy could lead to a rematch of the 2020 contest against former President Trump.
The former president has remained active in Republican politics since departing the White House, in particular focusing on endorsing candidates in the midterm elections who support his unfounded claims of mass election fraud.
Trump has said he already made a decision on whether he would mount a third White House bid, but he has not yet made a formal announcement.
A Yahoo-News-YouGov poll released last week found that Biden had a 6-point lead in a hypothetical rematch between the two presidents.
Forty-eight percent of registered voters said they’d vote for Biden, compared to 42 percent who said they’d vote for Trump.
The poll also found that an increasing percentage of Democrats want Biden to run in 2024, now outpacing those who say he shouldn’t run. The pollster last month found a plurality of Democrats did not want Biden to seek reelection.
A separate USA Today-Ipsos poll last month found that more than half of Democratic voters — 56 percent — indicated they did not want Biden to run for a second term.

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – There aren’t enough teachers to fill America’s classrooms — and the Biden administration wants to help fix the problem.
First Lady Dr. Jill Biden and Education Secretary Miguel Cardona visited schools in Tennessee and North Carolina on Monday to talk about the teacher shortage and how to fix it. They highlighted federal efforts to launch apprenticeship programs and push for higher teacher pay.
“Recruit. Respect. Retain,” Dr. Biden said “If we want educators to be able to do what they do best, we have to give them the support that they deserve.”
Teachers union advocates welcome those steps at the federal level. Mary Kusler with the National Education Association says local leaders need to do more too.
“The majority of these decisions are being made at the local level. So we need to see communities who are stepping up and standing by their educators,” Kusler said.
She says that means efforts to improve work environments for teachers and bump up their pay.
“We keep expecting more and more from our educators and not necessarily giving them a living wage to even live in the communities that they teach,” Kusler said.
American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten agrees. She adds investing in teachers now is critical for education’s long-term future.
“To send a message to young people that we want you in the profession. That you’re going to be valued,” Weingarten said.
Both advocates say leaders need to show more respect for teachers.
“We need help from politicians, not smearing and jeering,” Weingarten said.

BOISE, Idaho — Chipmaker Micron's planned $15 billion investment in a new factory in the company's hometown of Boise will help protect the United States from the vulnerabilities of a globalized semiconductor market, U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said Monday.
“It is time to get America making things again, with American parts and American labor,” Granholm told a crowd of about 250 guests and Micron workers invited to a tent-covered dirt field for a ceremonial groundbreaking. The event included setting off a ground-clearing explosion far from the crowd that emitted red, white and blue smoke.
The U.S. and Europe are pushing aggressively to build chipmaking capacity and reduce reliance on producers that are now mostly based in Asia. Semiconductor businesses have also been trying to diversify their operations to avoid bottlenecks caused by problems — such as a natural disaster or pandemic lockdown — in a specific region.
People are also reading…
Micron officials said that the high desert, sagebrush steppe area east of Boise is expected to have the largest chipmaking cleanroom, or fab, in the U.S. by the end of the decade, covering 600,000 square feet and creating 17,000 jobs. Construction is expected to start in 2023, with some cleanroom working space ready by 2025 and expanding in phases.
Micron is among the nation’s largest chipmakers, with product development sites in five other states and eight countries. Research and development is centered in Boise.
Sanjay Mehrotra, Micron's president and chief executive officer, said the company is committed to investing in the Idaho community — with an emphasis on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) education in both K-12 and higher education. He said the company would focus on reaching underrepresented and rural school populations.
Micron “will inspire young minds to build the STEM skills they need to succeed in our technology-based world,” he said.
In recent years, state Republican lawmakers have caused dismay among Idaho's business community by launching attacks on public education spending, which succeeded in 2021 with a $2.5 million cut to universities despite a budget surplus.
Micron officials late last year announced plans to build a 500-worker, memory design center in Georgia, partly to take advantage of that area's education system. That sent tremors through Idaho's business and political landscape.
But earlier this year, lawmakers approved a record $300 million boost to education. And earlier this month, lawmakers added another $410 million from a budget surplus in a legislative special session that was called due to high inflation.
“We really needed this (semiconductor plant) in the U.S. and not overseas,” said Republican state Sen. Scott Grow, who attended Monday's groundbreaking ceremony and has helped push through legislation beneficial to Micron. “To get a big outfit like this, and to get enough workers, we have to do all we can here in Idaho to help provide that kind of education so this can continue to grow, and they don't have to just bring in people from out of state."
Several chipmakers last year signaled an interest in expanding their American operations if the U.S. government is able to make it easier to build chip plants. Samsung said in November it plans to build a $17 billion factory outside of Austin, Texas, and Intel broke ground last week on a $20 billon new computer chip facility in Ohio.
Micron's $15 billion investment was made possible by last month’s passage of the CHIPS and Science Act, a $280 billion bill aimed at bolstering U.S. competitiveness against China and avoiding another chip shortage like the one that derailed the auto and tech industries during the pandemic. The law sets aside $52 billion to bolster the semiconductor industry that, due to COVID-related supply chain constraints, has struggled to manufacture the chips.
Besides the CHIPS law, Micron also benefits from property tax breaks in Idaho. And lawmakers earlier this year passed legislation, signed by Republican Gov. Brad Little, that eliminates sales taxes on expensive equipment Micron will have to buy to produce the chips.
Of the 17,000 expected jobs, 2,000 will be employed directly by Micron, and 15,000 are expected to come from other companies working in support of the new plant.
LaMarr Barnes, chief executive officer of Tokyo-based Kurita, said this company will bid to help create the supply of ultra-pure water needed for chipmaking. If successful, he expects to hire several hundred workers for the Boise area.
“We'd love to be able to do the work for this new fab, and if we do, we'd have to hire quite a bit of engineering staff," he said.

TORONTO, ON — Elias Theodorou, a charismatic mixed martial artist who campaigned successfully for the right to use medical marijuana as an athlete, has died. He was 34.
His publicist, Jess Moran, confirmed the former UFC fighter died Sunday in Toronto of liver cancer.
Theodorou, from Mississauga, Ontario, was an athlete, actor, model, stuntman, dancer, TV pitchman, Harlequin romance cover model and cannabis advocate.
TSN fight analyst Robin Black, a friend and former fighter himself, said Theodorou had not shared his cancer diagnosis publicly. Black figured Theodorou made that choice “because he couldn’t bear to make people sad.”
“He was a really, really, really special guy,” said Black.
“A positive energy if ever there was one, a man who almost always flashed a winning smile, a man who spoke out about what he believed in,” Canadian fighter Sarah Kaufman said on social media.
Theodorou took up MMA in 2009 after his first year at Humber College, where he studied creative advertising.
He made his pro debut in June 2011 and was 8-0-0 in 2013 when he joined the cast of “The Ultimate Fighter Nations: Canada vs. Australia,” an edition of the UFC’s reality TV show featuring teams of aspiring Canadian and Australian MMA fighters.
Theodorou and 15 other fighters spent six weeks filming in a lodge in the woods about an hour outside of Montreal.
“It was an interesting and amazing experience,” Theodorou said later.
Theodorou earned his UFC contract in April 2014 when he stopped fellow Canadian Sheldon Westcott via second-round TKO in the TUF Nations finale in Quebec City.
He went on to win eight of 11 fights as a middleweight in the UFC but was cut after a May 2019 loss to Derek Brunson in Ottawa. While Theodorou had a winning record, his grinding style lacked the fireworks the promotion looks for. Nine of his 11 UFC bouts went to a decision.
Theodorou was a fighter with a big gas tank. He kept on the move, often lashing out with kicks or hanging on his opponent at the fence as needed.
His last fight was a win over Bryan Baker last December on a Colorado Combat Club card. His pro record was 19 wins and three losses, with six wins in his last seven outings.
Theodorou campaigned for years to use medical marijuana in the sport, eventually securing a therapeutic use exemption for the marijuana he had been prescribed for bilateral neuropathic pain in his hands, wrists and elbows.
Theodorou, who said cannabis allowed him “to even the playing field and fight at a baseline level,” got the exemption in February 2020 from the B.C. Athletic Commission.
“RIP Elias Theodorou. A great person and a HUGE voice for the more fair and equitable treatment of marijuana use in MMA and sport,” tweeted Jeff Novitzky, the UFC’s senior vice-president of athlete health and performance.
To call Theodorou a people person did not do him justice.
"I’m a very big extrovert,” he once said with a grin. “A stranger is just a friend you haven’t met."

(The Hill) – The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning for doctors and patients on Thursday after it received reports of people with breast implants being diagnosed with multiple types of cancer.
Binita Ashar, the director of the Office of Surgical and Infection Control Devices in the agency’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health, said in a release that the FDA received reports of squamous cell carcinoma and various lymphomas in the capsule or scar tissue near the implants.
Ashar said the FDA reviewed the reports and determined that such occurrences are rare, but the agency wanted to provide “clear and understandable information” to the public as soon as possible.
Some of those who reported having cancer had symptoms of swelling, pain, lumps or skin changes, Ashar said.
She said these reports are separate from breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma, which the FDA started warning about more than 10 years ago.
Ashar said the agency does not have enough information to conclude if the implants cause certain cancers or if some implants pose a higher risk than others. Any instances of squamous cell carcinoma, lymphoma or any cancer near the scar tissue around breast implants should be reported to the FDA as a result.
“Our collective understanding has advanced significantly because of the efforts to study, communicate and act when needed,” she said. “As the agency moves further into adopting modernized approaches to our regulatory responsibilities to promote faster science-based decision-making, accurate data is crucial.”
Ashar said the FDA will conduct a literature review and continue its partnership with the American Society of Plastic Surgeons to identify ways to collect more detailed information about these cases.

CHEROKEE COUNTY, Ala. (WHNT) – One of the founding members of the country band Alabama was arrested on drug charges on Monday, according to Alabama court records.
Teddy Gentry, 70, of Fort Payne, Alabama, was arrested for misdemeanor second-degree unlawful possession of marijuana and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia.
Sheriff Jeff Shaver told local news outlet AL.com that Gentry was arrested during a traffic stop.
According to the Cherokee County Jail log, Gentry was booked at 10:38 a.m. and released at 11:06 a.m. A bond amount was not listed.
A spokesman for the band told the Associated Press he was aware of the incident but had no immediate comment.
Additional details have not yet been released.
The band Alabama was formed in Fort Payne by Gentry, Randy Owen and Jeff Cook — all cousins — in 1969.
By the 1980s, they had become one of the most successful bands in country music with multiple hits and platinum albums. The band is known for popular songs, “Dixieland Delight” and “Song of the South,” among many others.
Though Alabama said they were retiring from performing and held a farewell tour in 2007, the group has returned to performing. They are currently scheduled to perform again on September 23 in Denver, according to Ticketmaster.
It’s unclear if this show and other scheduled appearances will be impacted by Gentry’s arrest.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Bryan funeral home honors Queen Elizabeth II
BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) - Callaway-Jones Funeral home is giving Brazos Valley residents an opportunity to offer their condolences to the woman who served Great Britain for over 70 years.
Queen Elizabeth II impacted lives in not only Great Britain, but all around the world. When she passed away on Sept. 8, people were left thinking about how gracefully she led her country.
Callaway-Jones Funeral home in Bryan is filled with employees who admired Queen Elizabeth II and wanted to pay their respects from her passing in a special way. Multiple employees came together to create a book where residents could come by and write their name, which will eventually be sent to the Royal family to offer condolences.
Dawn Lee Wakefield is the Certified Life Celebrant at Callaway-Jones. She told KBTX she’s loved Queen Elizabeth ever since she could remember.
“I remember my mom buying a black and white TV just to watch her commencement,” said Wakefield. “Ever since then I just fell in love with everything she’s done and stood for. We knew other people here locally feel the same way so that’s one reason we started the book.”
Wakefield said the book will be available for the public to sign until the day of Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral.
“Queen Elizabeth II was a great role model to grow up and follow. The beautiful heritage she passed on, the tradition, and also the sacrifice,” Wakefield. “We want the Royal family to know, our community is mourning and we were grateful for her reign.”
Callaway-Jones in Bryan will host an event from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m. on Sept. 13 with hot tea, lemonade, and cookies. Guests are welcome to sign their name or jot down any thoughts on the Queen.
Callaway-Jones is located at 3001 S College Ave, Bryan, TX 77801.

Former President Trump’s promise to grant pardons to the rioters who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, is running into strong opposition from Senate Republicans.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), one of Trump’s closest allies, told The Hill that granting pardons to Jan. 6 protesters is “a bad idea.”
“Pardons are given to people who admit misconduct, rehabilitate themselves. They’re not supposed to be used for other purposes,” he said.
Other Republican senators are joining Graham in criticizing Trump’s promise to pardon the Jan. 6 protesters as inappropriate.
“I don’t think potential candidates should hold pardons out as a promise,” said Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), who is usually a reliable Trump ally. “It’s somewhat problematic for me on a moral level and an ethical level — sort of like promising other giveaways to particular individuals.
“I prefer avoiding those kinds of things,” he said.
Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) said he wouldn’t support granting pardons to people convicted of crimes because of their actions on Jan. 6.
“If he were elected, he would have a constitutional ability to do it,” he said of Trump’s promise of pardons. “I would disagree with it. I think there was insurrection and I think these folks need to be punished.
“I was there. This was truly violent. People were injured, people were killed. I have very little mercy for the individuals that were involved in that activity that day,” Rounds added.
Senate Republican Whip John Thune (S.D.) said people who committed crimes on Jan. 6 must face the consequences of their actions.
“The only people that get pardoned are people who are charged with crimes. If they were charged with crimes, they ought to be prosecuted like everybody else,” he said. “The rule of law applies. If people broke laws, they need to be held accountable.”
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), who voted last year to impeach Trump on the charge of inciting an insurrection on Jan. 6, said pardoning people who invaded the Capitol to stop Biden’s election would be wrong.
“The Jan. 6 riot was an attack on the temple of democracy, and the people who violated the law, attacked our law enforcement and besmirched our nation’s Capitol should be prosecuted according to the law, and certainly should not be pardoned,” he said. “It’s a grossly inappropriate comment to make.”
Not every Republican is quick to dismiss the idea of a pardon.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) who raised a fist to protestors outside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, before he and other members of Congress were evacuated during the insurrection, is more open to the idea of granting leniency to pro-Trump protesters.
“Let’s see which ones he would choose to do,” Hawley said of the prospect of Trump pardoning Jan. 6 protesters if he wins another term in the White House. “There’s no question it has been a massive prosecutorial effort.“
He and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who both led objections to the Electoral College tally in January 2021, argue the Department of Justice (DOJ) is punishing Trump supporters who entered the Capitol on Jan. 6 much more aggressively than the rioters who destroyed property at Black Lives Matter demonstrations in 2020.
“I think that the folks who committed crimes, particularly violent crimes, on that day ought to be prosecuted,” Hawley said of the Jan. 6 protesters who have been sentenced to prison. “I think the question becomes, are there people who’ve been caught up in this drag net who, for instance, didn’t know that they were trespassing?“
“There’s a lot of concern about, frankly, the double standard at [the Department of Justice] going after people who may have at most trespassed on federal property and not even known they did it versus folks who have in [Black Lives Matter] riots committed violent crimes and not been prosecuted,” he added, referring to the failure to prosecute people who destroyed property at riots in the wake of George Floyd’s death at the hands of police.
“There absolutely is undeniably a double standard,” he said.
Hawley said the Department of Justice has filed briefs asking for leniency for Black Lives Matter protesters who destroyed property or caused injuries because their actions were motivated by a desire for social justice, while federal prosecutors have sought maximum penalties for Trump supporters who entered the Capitol last year.
Federal prosecutors, for example, asked for an 18-month prison sentence for Richard Michetti, who was arrested after his ex-girlfriend turned him in to law enforcement.
Michetti was charged with aiding and abetting obstruction of an official proceeding after entering and remaining in the Capitol for 45 minutes on Jan. 6, where he yelled obscenities at police officers. He was sentenced last week to 24 months of supervised release and ordered to pay a $2,000 penalty.
A study published by Time magazine in June found that 840 people had been charged with storming the Capitol on that day and that about a quarter of them have received criminal sentences, with a median prison sentence of 45 days.
Trump told conservative radio host Wendy Bell on Sept. 1 that he would issue full pardons and apologize to many of his supporters who were prosecuted for their actions on Jan. 6.
“I mean full pardons with an apology to many,” he said earlier this month.
Cruz said there’s a big difference between protesters who attacked Capitol police officers and smashed the Capitol’s windows and doorways and Trump supporters who showed up at the Capitol to voice their opposition to certifying Biden as president.
“I think there is a stark difference between acts of violence and peaceful protest. Acts of violence are unacceptable from any political perspective. Peaceful protest is protected by the first amendment of the Constitution,” Cruz said when asked about Trump’s promise to pardon many Jan. 6 protesters.
“The Biden Justice Department has used Jan. 6 and the violent acts of a few to justify persecuting the peaceful protest and political speech of the many,” he said. “It is wildly inconsistent.
“The Department of Justice turns a blind eye to violent rioters who looted, destroyed and firebombed American cities across the country but is eager to target anyone who dares speak on the other side of the aisle,” he said, citing Biden’s recent speech in Philadelphia, where he accused Trump and his allies of pushing a form of political extremism that “threatens the very foundations of our republic.”
“This past week it got so bad that Joe Biden, bathed in red light, decreed that half the nation are fascists because they dare to disagree with his socialist policies,” Cruz said. “What DOJ is doing, targeting the political enemies of the White House, is corrupt and incredibly harmful.”
Asked if people who illegally entered the Capitol on Jan. 6 should receive pardons if they didn’t assault officers or destroy property, Cruz would only say “acts of violence are qualitatively different.”
A study of court records by The Associated Press have found that federal prosecutors have filed more than 300 cases related to the protests that swept America after Floyd’s death.
It also found that more than 120 defendants have pleaded guilty to crimes such as rioting and arson and that more than 70 have received sentences, with the average penalty being 27 months in prison.
Graham, one of Trump’s staunchest allies in the Senate, said granting pardons to people who tried to intimidate and stop lawmakers from doing their jobs would set a bad precedent.
“It reinforces violence. The people who defiled the Capitol and took the law in their own hands deserve to be brought to justice,” he said.

Hillary Clinton on Sunday said there are “lessons still to be learned” from the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, noting the country’s unity following the terrorist attacks.
“We have also, I think, been reminded about how important it is to try to deal with extremism of any kind, especially when it uses violence to try to achieve political and ideological goals,” Clinton said during an interview with co-anchor Dana Bash on CNN’s “State of the Union” on the 21st anniversary of the attacks.
“So I’m one who thinks that there are lessons still to be learned from what happened to us on 9/11 that we should be very aware of, during this time in our country and the world’s history.”
President Biden, Vice President Harris and other senior officials traveled to remembrance ceremonies at the World Trade Center and Pentagon on Sunday morning.
Clinton at the time of the attacks served as a U.S. senator from New York and years later served as secretary of State during the Obama administration, managing the country’s foreign policy during U.S. interventions in the Middle East spurred by the attacks.
The ex-first lady reflected on the country’s response to the attacks on CNN, lauding former President George W. Bush’s commitment to helping rebuild New York after the collapse of the Twin Towers.
“I feel grateful that we were able to come together as a country at that really terrible time,” Clinton said. “We put aside differences. I wish we could find ways of doing that again.”
She added that she hopes the country could unite again, touting Biden’s legislative record on issues like climate change, health care and gun violence.
“We are in a funny position, Dana, because there’s a small but very vocal, very powerful, very determined minority who wants to impose their views on all the rest of us,” Clinton told Bash.
“And it’s time for everybody regardless of party to say, no, that’s not who we are as America,” Clinton added.

The U.S. Navy has ordered an independent investigation into the Navy SEAL selection course following the death of a sailor during the program, according to a report from The New York Times.
Vice Chief of Naval Operations Admiral William K. Lescher called for the investigation in a letter obtained by the paper.
The investigation will focus on the Basic Underwater Demolition/SEALS (BUD/S) course, probing its safety measures and drug testing protocol as well as the qualifications of medical personnel assigned to the program.
Many sailors have been found to use performance-enhancing drugs to get through BUD/S, particularly during what is known as “Hell Week,” the most intense part of the selection course where sailors experience dire physical conditions, according to the Times.
The Aug. 31 letter also ordered investigators to look into changes made since the passing of Kyle Mullen in February. Mullen was a Navy sailor who died after being sent to the hospital in San Diego shortly following Hell Week.
An anonymous Navy official told the Times that the Naval Special Warfare Command (NSWC), which houses the SEALs, had also been investigating Mullen’s death before their probe was brought to a halt.
Leaders found that the NSWC report placed too much responsibility on Mullen rather than highlighting the flaws of the SEAL training program, according to the official.
The letter indicates that the Special Warfare Command will refocus its investigation into whether Mullen died in the line of duty, but will leave other questions to the independent investigators.
“The Navy remains committed to transparency and ensuring the final reports are thorough, accurate, impartial, and that confidence and credibility are maintained throughout the entire process,” it told the Times.
The Hill has reached out to the Navy for further comment on the investigation.

CHEROKEE COUNTY, Ala. (WHNT) – One of the founding members of the country band Alabama was arrested on drug charges on Monday, according to Alabama court records.
Teddy Gentry, 70, of Fort Payne, Alabama, was arrested for misdemeanor second-degree unlawful possession of marijuana and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia.
Sheriff Jeff Shaver told local news outlet AL.com that Gentry was arrested during a traffic stop.
According to the Cherokee County Jail log, Gentry was booked at 10:38 a.m. and released at 11:06 a.m. A bond amount was not listed.
A spokesman for the band told the Associated Press he was aware of the incident but had no immediate comment.
Additional details have not yet been released.
The band Alabama was formed in Fort Payne by Gentry, Randy Owen and Jeff Cook — all cousins — in 1969.
By the 1980s, they had become one of the most successful bands in country music with multiple hits and platinum albums. The band is known for popular songs, “Dixieland Delight” and “Song of the South,” among many others.
Though Alabama said they were retiring from performing and held a farewell tour in 2007, the group has returned to performing. They are currently scheduled to perform again on September 23 in Denver, according to Ticketmaster.
It’s unclear if this show and other scheduled appearances will be impacted by Gentry’s arrest.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Nashua woman accused of kidnapping girl, taking her to football game
Police say resident called police; girl reunited with mother
Police say resident called police; girl reunited with mother
Police say resident called police; girl reunited with mother
A Nashua woman has been accused of kidnapping a 10-year-old girl and taking her to a high school football game.
Police said Gabrielle Belanger, 22, allegedly approached the girl while she was out playing with a friend Friday evening and took her to a football game.
When an unrelated fight broke out at the game, Belanger allegedly told the girl they had to run through the woods from police and escape her ex-husband. They ended up on Gendron Street, where the child repeatedly asked if she could call her mom or go home, officials said.
Someone living in the neighborhood called the police. The girl was returned safely to her mother.
"The state believes that this defendant presents an extreme danger to this community by taking a child unknown to her about the city and not wanting to let her go," said prosecutor Michele Battaglia.
Defense attorneys said the girl had gone to the football game with a group of teenagers without getting permission from her mother. The defense argued that Belanger is not a threat to the public, saying the only thing on her record is a traffic violation from 2018.
"Your honor, she does not pose a danger to the community," defense attorney Brendan Cahalin said. "There's no allegation that she's dangerous in any other way other than the allegations presented here today."
Police said they have seen some social media posts that talk about human trafficking, but they don't believe that's a factor in this case.
"It's important that the parents have conversations with young children about what to do when approached by strangers: to never leave with them, to report any unusual activity back to their parents," Nashua police Lt. Peter Urban said.
Investigators said they believe someone must have given Belanger and the girl a ride to the stadium. Police are asking anyone with any information to give them a call.
Belanger is being held on preventative detention, with an evidentiary hearing planned pending a psychological evaluation.

Prepared for a life in service by the parents they loved - but still just siblings lost in grief
As members of the public streamed past their mother's coffin, the brothers and sister appeared lost in thought.
Tuesday 13 September 2022 01:20, UK
They've all talked about how the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh taught them well to cope with a public life of service - being involved in military processions has been such a regular part of all their lives.
But even the King, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward must have had to find composure amidst their personal grief and rally themselves for what was to come.
Firstly we saw it as the new King was reunited with the Queen outside Holyroodhouse, the moment his mother's coffin left her official residence in Scotland for one final time.
King Charles paused before beginning the slow march behind her, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with his siblings.
He may carry the heaviest burden of responsibility, but they all share the sense of sadness.
Queen dies: All the latest news and updates, live
And then the vigil: Heads bowed around the coffin. A time for the four to quietly remember.
They appeared lost in thought, as members of the public were still allowed to stream past to pay their own respects inside St Giles' Cathedral.
While it was another day with moments to pause, it was also a reminder of the relentless schedule the new King is keeping.
On Tuesday, he moves to Northern Ireland, the cameras moving with him, as he hopes to carry the largely positive public response with him every step of the way.

Vice President Kamala Harris led a roundtable discussion with civil and reproductive rights leaders on Monday, discussing abortion rights in a post-Roe era.
It’s the latest in a series of similardiscussions that Harris has taken point on since the U.S. Supreme Court seismically shifted American abortion rights with its decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization over the summer.
“We know that, with the Supreme Court having made the decision in Dobbs to take a constitutional right that had been recognized, from the people of America, from the women of America, has created a health care crisis in America,” Harris said.
This particular roundtable, Harris said, came to focus on the intersection of the civil rights movement and the reproductive justice movement, to push back on what Harris calls attacks on women’s rights, LGBTQ rights and voting rights — attacks that she said came from many of the “same sources.”
So far, since the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs overturned the prior court’s decision in Roe v. Wade, at least 16 states have moved to ban abortion, with some lawmakers in more states still seeking to do so.
“Those that are most affected are those who are already facing barriers to care: Black, Latinx, indigenous communities, rural communities, immigrant communities, those with low incomes living in states with the highest maternal mortality rates and the states with the most restrictive voting laws,” said Alexis McGill Johnson, Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s CEO and President. “Make no mistake: These bans are working exactly as they were intended to, to create a public health crisis.”
That crisis, she said, has led to long-distance traveling for people seeking abortion care, a 550% increase in out-of-state abortion care for Texans, and confusion among health care providers seeking to understand laws.
The maternal mortality rate for Black women is already more than three times higher than it is for white women, Shalondan Hollingshed of the National Urban League Young Professionals noted — and an abortion ban is projected to cause a spike in maternal mortality especially among Black people.
According to the University of Colorado - Boulder, the maternal mortality rate among Black people would jump from 18% to 39%.
In recent months, Harris has met with elected representatives from a more than a dozen states, reproductive health experts, disability rights leaders, higher education leaders, among many other advocates, to talk about the future of reproductive rights.
President Joe Biden has already signaled his interest in ensuring reproductive health care access with two executive orders, one in July, followed by another in August. The orders sought to expand access to medication abortion, emergency health care, contraceptions, and set a directive to support people traveling out of state for abortion care.
Democrats have thrown their support behind the Women’s Health Protection Act of 2022, which prohibits governmental restrictions on providing access to abortion services. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Judy Chu, D-Calif., passed the House in July, but appears to have stalled in the Senate.

EDINBURGH, Scotland — King Charles III and his siblings have stood in silent vigil around their mother Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin in St Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh.
Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward lowered their heads as they stood at four sides of the oak coffin. They stood for about 10 minutes alongside four members of the Royal Company of Archers, who stood guard armed with arrows and quivers.
As they performed the traditional vigil, a procession of members of the public lined up to view the queen’s coffin and filed past. Some bowed as they passed the king, while others walked solemnly by with their heads lowered.

OTHER DEVELOPMENTS:
LONDON — Officials in charge of the park outside Buckingham Palace have told people to stop leaving marmalade sandwiches as a tribute to Queen Elizabeth II because of the “negative impact on the park’s wildlife.”
Some mourners have left the snacks alongside floral tributes at Buckingham Palace and neighboring Green Park. The sandwiches are a reference to a comedy sketch featuring the queen and an animated Paddington Bear filmed for the late monarch’s Platinum Jubilee earlier this year.
In the video, the queen said that like Paddington Bear she also favors marmalade sandwiches and hides them in her purse “for later.”
The Royal Parks organization said Monday people should not leave the snacks but could leave teddy bears and other items if they wished.
___
EDINBURGH, Scotland — St. Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh has opened to members of the public who wish to pay their last respects to Queen Elizabeth II, whose coffin is lying at rest inside.
The Scottish government is warning that the line, and waiting times, are expected to be long, with perhaps hours of standing. Visitors can leave the line to use toilet facilities.
Authorities have introduced airport-style security, banning people from taking inside the cathedral any large bags, sharp items, or food or liquids.
Similar crowds are expected in London, where the coffin can be visited from Wednesday.
___
EDINBURGH, Scotland — Four members of the Royal Company of Archers are standing vigil over Queen Elizabeth II’s flag-draped coffin in St. Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh.
They are a striking presence, wearing hats called “Balmoral bonnets” adorned with a single eagle feather. Each of them is holding a wooden bow and a quiver of arrows.
The company, which officially functions as the British sovereign’s bodyguard in Scotland, is an archery club established in 1676, according to the royal website.
Membership to the ceremonial company is by election — members must be Scots or have “strong Scottish connection,” the site says.
Steeped in history, the company is endowed with “perpetual access” to public locations including “plains and pasturages legally allotted for shooting arrows,” in return for presenting the sovereign with three barbed arrows on request.
___
LONDON — A line has already started forming to view Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin when she lies in state in London, even though that won’t start till Wednesday evening.
Security staff are preparing for millions of people to pay their respects to the late monarch, whose coffin will be in London’s Westminster Hall until her state funeral on Sept. 19.
Vanessa Nathakumaran, 56, travelled Monday from Harrow near London to Lambeth Bridge in central London, where the entrance of the line is expected to be set up.
“I really, really want to be part of it,” said Nathakumaran, who is originally from Sri Lanka — a country once called Ceylon and ruled by Britain.
The line is expected to stretch from Parliament along the bank of the River Thames.
Officials have advised commuters in the city to change their working patterns because London is expected to be extremely busy in coming days.
___
EDINBURGH, Scotland — A memorial service for Queen Elizabeth II at St. Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh has ended, and members of the public will soon be allowed inside to pay their respects.
The coffin, with the Crown of Scotland resting on a cushion on top of it, is to stay in the 12th-century cathedral through Tuesday.
Thousands of people lined the route of the procession through the Scottish capital’s Old Town to the cathedral, as the former monarch’s children — including new sovereign King Charles III — walked behind the hearse.
The memorial service featured Karen Matheson singing Psalm 118 in Gaelic, with harp accompaniment, and a reading from Ecclesiastes by the head of the Scottish government, Nicola Sturgeon.
The congregation sang The Lord’s My Shepherd, said to be one of the queen’s favorite hymns.
Members of the royal family were to hold a vigil by the coffin in the evening.
___
EDINBURGH, Scotland — Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin has arrived at St. Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh for a memorial service.
A hearse containing the coffin headed a procession Monday through the Scottish capital’s Old Town. Thousands of people lined the street known as the Royal Mile, which links Edinburgh Castle with the Palace of Holyroodhouse.
St. Giles’ Cathedral, founded in the 1130s, is holding a service of thanksgiving.
Afterward, members of the public will be allowed inside to file past the coffin. Some have been waiting since around dawn.

EDINBURGH, Scotland — The children of Queen Elizabeth II are accompanying their mother’s coffin on a procession through the Scottish capital.
A military bagpiper played mournful music as the coffin, draped in the royal standard, was carried from the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh and placed in a hearse Monday.
King Charles III, dressed in army uniform, and his siblings Princes Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward are walking behind the hearse as the procession moves slowly toward St. Giles’ Cathedral.
The hearse is flanked by a bearer party of the Royal Regiment of Scotland and a detachment of The King’s Body Guard in Scotland, the Royal Company of Archers.
The coffin will remain at the cathedral until Tuesday so that members of the public can pay their respects.

LONDON — A plane carrying King Charles has landed in Edinburgh, where the new monarch is due to accompany his late mother’s coffin in a procession through the heart of the Scottish capital.
The procession Monday will bear the former sovereign’s coffin to a cathedral, where it will remain for 24 hours to allow the public to pay their last respects.
Lines of people waiting to file past the coffin at St. Giles’ Cathedral began forming around dawn.
Charles flew to Scotland after earlier receiving condolences from both Britain’s houses of parliament.
He told lawmakers he will follow his late mother’s example of “selfless duty.”
___
LONDON — Britain is to observe a nationwide minute of silence Sunday, on the eve of Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral.
The British government says the “moment of reflection” will take place at 8 p.m. (1900GMT).
People are encouraged to mark the silence at home or at community events.
The queen’s funeral will be held next Monday at Westminster Abbey.
Britain’s monarch of the past 70 years died Thursday in Scotland at the age of 96.

LONDON — King Charles and his wife Camilla, the Queen Consort, have boarded a flight to Edinburgh where the new monarch will take part in a procession bearing his late mother’s coffin to St. Giles’ Cathedral.
The plane left RAF Northolt on the outskirts of London for the flight to Edinburgh Airport on Monday.
In the Scottish capital, Charles and Camilla were due at Hollyroodhouse palace where Queen Elizabeth’s coffin stayed overnight. It arrived there after a six-hour journey in a hearse from the queen’s beloved Balmoral Castle summer retreat, where the 96-year-old sovereign died Thursday.
The royal couple are to attend a service of remembrance for the queen, visit the Scottish Parliament and meet senior officials.

LONDON — A 100-year-old British woman says she received a congratulatory telegram from Queen Elizabeth II the day after the monarch’s death.
Gwendolyn Hoare read out the telegram in a recording shared with the BBC by her family and aired Monday.
She said it made her “feel quite tearful” and added: “I’m a royalist … old fashioned.”
Hoare’s niece, Sue Beckett, posted a message to a BBC online page which is compiling tributes to the late queen. She said the telegram arrived Friday, a day before her aunt’s 100th birthday, and a day after the 96-year-old queen had died at her Balmoral estate in Scotland.
“For decades she talked about receiving a telegram from the Queen and was devastated to hear the news … but her telegram arrived (on Friday) and she was ecstatic,” Beckett wrote.
The British monarch traditionally sends a telegram of congratulations to citizens who reach the age of 100.

LONDON — King Charles III has addressed lawmakers in Britain’s Parliament, telling them: “I cannot but help feel the weight of history which surrounds us.”
Charles told members of the House of Commons and House of Lords that he would follow his late mother Queen Elizabeth II in upholding “the precious principles of constitutional governance” that underpin the U.K.’s political system.
He paid tribute to his mother, saying: “As Shakespeare said of the earlier Queen Elizabeth, she was a pattern to all princes living.”
Charles is due to travel from Parliament to Edinburgh and accompany the queen’s coffin to St. Giles’ Cathedral for a service of remembrance.

LONDON — In a first official statement since the queen’s death, her grandson Prince Harry has hailed her as a “guiding compass” and praised her “unwavering grace and dignity.
The personal statement, posted Monday on Harry and his wife Meghan’s Archwell website, said he cherished their times together “from my earliest childhood memories with you, to meeting you for the first time as my Commander-in-Chief, to the first moment you met my darling wife and hugged your beloved greatgrandchildren.”
Harry quit as a senior royal and moved to the U.S. two years ago. On Saturday, he and Meghan joined his brother Prince William and his wife Catherine in meeting mourners outside Windsor Castle.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand — New Zealand has announced it will mark the death of Queen Elizabeth II with a public holiday on Sept. 26.
The nation will also hold a state memorial service in the capital, Wellington, on the same day. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said Elizabeth was an extraordinary person and many people would appreciate the opportunity to mark her death and celebrate her life.
“As New Zealand’s queen and much-loved sovereign for over 70 years, it is appropriate that we mark her life of dedicated public service with a state memorial service and a one-off public holiday,” Ardern said.
She also said she would be leaving this week for Britain to attend Elizabeth’s funeral.

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden has formally accepted an invitation to attend the state funeral service for Queen Elizabeth II.
The White House said Sunday that the president will be accompanied by first lady Jill Biden. The service will be held Sept. 19.
Earlier in the day, Biden remembered the words of comfort that the late monarch had provided to the United States following the Sept. 11 attacks.
“Grief is the price we pay for love,” said Biden, quoting part of the queen’s message to America during remarks on the 21st anniversary of the attacks.
Speaking at a commemoration at the Pentagon, Biden said the queen’s words remain as poignant as they did 21 years ago but the weight of loss also remains heavy.
“On this day, the price feels so great,” Biden said.

DONCASTER, England — British horse racing has paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth II as the late monarch’s favorite sport returned after a pause following her death.
Two minutes of silence were held at Doncaster on Sunday. A video was then played on the big screens of the queen at various races through the years, along with some of her greatest triumphs as a racehorse owner.
Horse racing was the big sporting fascination of the queen, who became one of the biggest faces of the sport both in Britain and globally and had more than 1,800 winners.
“No one person ever has, or ever will, do so much for so long for horse racing, than did her majesty the queen,” narrator Brough Scott, a former jockey turned TV presenter, said during the video. “The sport worldwide will forever be in her debt.”
It was followed by a long ovation from the jockeys and officials who lined up for the tribute ceremony.

- Commercial Metal Jet Solution takes 3D printed metals to mass production by delivering high-quality parts at scale across industries
- New HP Metal Jet S100 now commercially availability for mass production of high-quality 3D printed metal parts, helping customers across medical, industrial, consumer goods, and automotive industries scale 3D metals
BOSTON, Sept. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Schneider Electric, the global leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, is joining HP Inc. at the 2022 International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS), to announce the commercial availability of its Metal Jet S100 Solution. Accelerating innovative designs and products and digitally printing mass quantities of quality parts, HP's Metal Jet S100 Solution is transforming industries and helping scale 3D metals to mass production.
The manufacturing industry has evolved drastically over the past decade and is currently expected to be worth around $12 trillion1. We are in the early stages of a fourth industrial revolution, spearheaded by the accelerated growth of 3D printing and its ability to accelerate designs, improve process developments, and now in an industry first, realize true economies of scale.
"We are witnessing entire industries, from industrial to consumer, and healthcare to automotive, looking to digitally transform their manufacturing processes and supply chains in a world where volatility is the new normal," said Didier Deltort, President of HP's Personalization and 3D Printing business. "As the promise of additive manufacturing takes hold, HP has become a trusted partner to help speed the path to production. The introduction of our new Metal Jet commercial solution, along with innovative collaboration with market leaders like Schneider Electric, is delivering the blueprint for more sustainable, reliable, and efficient manufacturing."
New HP Metal Jet S100
HP's new Metal Jet S100 Solution is opening the doors for a digital reinvention of the global metals manufacturing sector, with a strong focus on end-to-end supply chain solutions in both software and hardware that are customer-centric and design led.
The Metal Jet S100 Solution provides industrial production capabilities, integrated workflow, subscription and service offerings – an unprecedented level of technical and business advantages for customers, helping them achieve their goals for business transformation. The modular solution enables build units to travel between four different stations, meaning users can continually run production at scale for mass metals production.
"Since announcing the breakthrough Metal Jet technology in 2018, we have been working to develop the industry's most advanced commercial solution for 3D metals mass production," said Ramon Pastor, Global Head and General Manager of 3D Metals, HP Inc. "3D printed metal parts are a key driving force behind digital transformation and the new Metal Jet S100 Solution provides a world class metals offering for our customers, from the first designs right through to production, but more importantly helps them to realize the unlimited potential for digital manufacturing."
HP's unequaled expertise and IP in Thermal Inkjet technology and Latex chemistry delivers cost, quality, productivity, and reliability advantages. HP's Thermal Inkjet printhead dramatically improves the printing speed, part quality, and repeatability. The advanced latex chemistries developed by HP lend significant benefits to the binder itself, enabling stronger green parts, eliminating the need for de-binding, and yielding industrial production-grade quality.
Key advantages of HP Metal Jet technology include:
- Innovative New Designs: New geometries, density control and designs to lightweight or consolidate metal parts push the boundaries of what is possible with 3D printing.
- Improved Customer Economics: Process steps needed to create parts are shortened whilst costs due to manual labor or complexity requirements are reduced, driving efficiencies across the supply chain.
- Increased Productivity: Binder jetting can boost productivity tenfold, allowing for processing layer by layer versus point process. Isotropic properties also require no post-processing and no support removal, and the use of metal powders is also more cost-effective than laser-based 3D printing powder.
- Higher Resolution to Drive Part Quality: HP printheads leverage decades of industrial thermal inkjet technology developments, defining geometry and delivering high resolution and system robustness, making mass 3D metal parts a viable option for commercial manufacturing.
Innovative Collaboration, Breakthrough Applications
Advancements and new production applications highlight the advantages of Metal Jet, including better productivity, low part cost, and outstanding quality.
HP has already built strong momentum with leading partners and customers including GKN, Parmatech, Cobra Golf, Legor Group, and Volkswagen, and more. HP is also collaborating on mass metals production opportunities with new partners and customers around the world, including Domin Digital Motion, an innovative industrial company focused on hydraulic systems and valves, Lumenium, a startup developer of advanced rotational engines, and Schneider Electric.
Schneider Electric is the global leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation. Their product portfolio includes products, controls, software and services across residential, commercial, industrial and critical applications.
"We are excited about the new possibilities for our business as a result of this collaboration with HP," said Michael Lotfy, SVP of Power Products & Systems, North America, Schneider Electric. "We are constantly in pursuit of solutions that will enable more sustainable, agile innovations development. Leveraging HP Metal Jet our teams have delivered a proven use case showcasing the benefits of digital manufacturing and 3D printing, and we look forward to uncovering many more applications that meet the evolving demands from our customers addressing the challenges around sustainability and Electricity 4.0."
Together with GKN, a new filter used on Schneider Electric's NSX breaker was produced using HP Metal Jet technology, which could not be achieved with conventional industrial manufacturing capabilities due to the shape & material complexity. HP Metal Jet technology not only facilitated the design of new power filters shapes that reduce gas, pressure, and heat impact in a more limited space, it also resulted in significant productivity gains and environmental benefits.

'Slip of the tongue': Journalist who wrote Harry and Meghan's biography admits error after telling American news channel that the Queen's coffin would be making its journey 'by royal train' from Scotland 'over to the UK'
- Omid Scobie, who is close to Harry and Meghan, made the faux pas on US TV
- The journalist said the Queen's coffin would travel from Scotland 'to the UK'
- He later clarified the comment to ABC and described it as a 'slip of the tongue'
- Full coverage: Click here to see all our coverage of the Queen’s passing
The journalist who wrote Harry and Meghan's biography has admitted making an error after telling a US news channel that the Queen's coffin would travel from Scotland 'over to the UK'.
Omid Scobie, a favoured journalist of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, mistakenly appeared to suggest that Scotland is not part of the UK.
He also said the Queen would be taken to London on 'one of the royal trains', despite there only being one royal train and the fact Her Majesty will be transported by plane.
The 41-year-old later said on Twitter that his remarks were a 'slip of the tongue' and had been made 'in the chaos of breaking news' as news of the Queen's death became public knowledge.
He made the comments on ABC News on Thursday, September 8, where he was describing to viewers what would happen to the Queen's body after her death at Balmoral Castle.
The royal expert said Her Majesty 'will end up laying at rest at the smallest palace in Edinburgh before it [the coffin] makes its journey on one of the royal trains over to the UK'.
Omid Scobie was on ABC News when he said the Queen's coffin would be moved from Scotland 'over to the UK'
This was incorrect as the Queen's body will actually be flown to London on a military aircraft from Edinburgh Airport to RAF Northolt outside London tomorrow.
However, it was his apparent 'slip of the tongue' which suggested Scotland was no longer part of the UK for which he apologised.
Writing on Twitter, Scobie said: 'Turns out in the chaos of breaking news on September 8 I accidentally said 'Scotland to UK' instead of 'Scotland to England' when discussing travel elements of Operation Unicorn. Slip of the tongue and happy to own it'
Scobie later apologised for the remark on Twitter, claiming it had been a 'slip of the tongue'
Scobie has been a firm cheerleader for Harry and Meghan over recent years, having co-authored the couple's biography, Finding Freedom, in 2020.
He is the royal editor of U.S. website Harper's Bazaar and has become one of the closest journalists to the couple since their move to America.
The Queen's body is currently at rest at St Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh, where thousands of members of the public have been lining up for hours to pay their respects.
Earlier today King Charles and his siblings stood in a vigil beside her coffin, which is set to be transported to London on Tuesday.
After a short procession, King Charles III, Anne, the Princess Royal, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward each stood on one of the four corners of the oak coffin with their heads bowed in a ceremony known as the Vigil of the Princes.

The Queen's children stood vigil over her coffin at St Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh this evening. Pictured is King Charles (centre front), Princess Anne (left), Prince Andrew (centre back) and Prince Edward (right)
The Duke of York kept his eyes closed for a period of time during the 10-minute vigil, while the Princess Royal and Earl of Wessex had their eyes fixed towards the floor. The King - his eyes moistening - kept his hands joined and also looked towards the floor as members of the public filed past.
The King and his family stood alongside four suited members of the Royal Company of Archers, who were standing guard dressed in long-feathered hats and armed with arrows and quivers.
Members of the public - who have been filing past the coffin in their thousands throughout the afternoon - were briefly held back to allow the royals to take their place.
However, they continued to file past once the vigil began, offering them an extraordinary perspective on the historic moment.
On Wednesday Her Majesty's coffin will be placed on display at Westminster Hall, with officials expecting tens of thousands of people to visit as they mourn the monarch.
On Monday, September 19, her funeral will be held at Westminster Abbey, with heads of state from around the world and family members invited to pay their respects to the Queen.
After this service she will be taken to Windsor, where she will be laid to rest at a committal ceremony in St George's Chapel.

(Bloomberg) — Amtrak is preemptively canceling trips on three of its long-distance routes that operate on freight rail-owned tracks and adjusting schedules on other routes due to a possible strike by two of the country’s largest rail unions.
The rail operator, whose workforce is not involved in the labor talks, is “closely monitoring” the ongoing negotiations, it said Monday. The suspension of service on the three routes as of Tuesday could spread to all long distance and most state-supported routes.

Voters will be heading to the polls in New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Delaware next Tuesday to weigh in on some of the last primaries this year before turning their attention to November.
While the spotlight will be on New Hampshire’s Republican Senate primary, which will determine who takes on Sen. Maggie Hassan (D) in November, next week’s primaries will prove consequential in several gubernatorial and House races as well.
Those primaries will determine whether Govs. Dan McKee (D) of Rhode Island and Chris Sununu (R) of New Hampshire prevail in their reelection bids, while several races in New Hampshire will determine who will take on two vulnerable Democratic incumbents in the House.
Here’s a look at the races we’re watching next week.
New Hampshire GOP Senate primary
Next week’s primary will be closely watched as Republicans determine which candidate they want to see go head to head with Hassan, who is vying for a second term in one of the year’s most competitive Senate races. She won her first term in 2016 by about a tenth of a percentage point, and Republicans are eager to see the seat flip.
While the field has attracted close to a dozen GOP candidates, retired Army Gen. Don Bolduc and state Senate President Chuck Morse are seen as the leading candidates.
Bolduc has garnered controversy for previously supporting former President Trump’s claims that he won the 2020 election — claims from which Bolduc has recently backtracked — and for calling Sununu a “communist sympathizer.” He ran for Senate in 2020, losing the GOP nomination to Republican candidate Corky Messner. Messner later lost to Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D) by a 15-percentage point margin.
Morse, considered the more establishment Republican, has focused on school choice, completing the wall at the southern border and reforming supply chain regulations. In a last-minute boost, Sununu announced on Thursday that he would be endorsing Morse.
Both Republicans and Democrats have poured money into the race. Republicans have spent money airing ads criticizing Bolduc, whom some in the GOP worry would be a weak candidate against Hassan, while Democrats have aired ads targeting Morse.
The nonpartisan Cook Political Report rates the seat as “lean Democrat.”
New Hampshire GOP gubernatorial primary
Sununu is seeking his fourth run for office after dashing hopes held among some Republicans that he would run for Senate. While he’s competing against a handful of candidates in the GOP primary, recent polling shows he’s likely to prevail.
Among some of the candidates vying for the chance to take on Sununu include U.S. Marine Corps veteran Julian Acciard, “biker” candidate Jay Lewis, professional logger Richard McMenamon II, small business owner Thad Riley and Karen Testerman, who served in Franklin, N.H., as a former city councilor.
Despite Republican candidates targeting him over his criticism of Trump and how he’s dealt with the COVID-19 pandemic, a University of New Hampshire Survey Center Granite State Poll released earlier this month shows Sununu on a likely easy reelection path.
The poll found that Sununu received 72 percent support among likely Republican primary voters compared to Riley, who placed second at 7 percent.
New Hampshire 1st Congressional District GOP primary
The GOP primary to take on Rep. Chris Pappas (D.), who represents the state’s 1st Congressional District, has attracted a crowded field of candidates in a race that the nonpartisan Cook Political Report rates as a “toss up.”
A University of New Hampshire Survey Center Granite State Poll released late last month showed two former Trump administration officials — former State Department official Matt Mowers (26 percent) and former White House assistant press secretary Karoline Leavitt (24 percent) — as the leading contenders among likely GOP primary voters.
Other candidates running in the race include journalist Gail Huff Brown — the wife of former Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) — former state Sen. Russell Prescott and state Rep. Tim Baxter, among others. If Mowers wins reelection, it would set up a rematch with Pappas. The two went head to head in 2020, with Pappas prevailing by a 5-percentage point margin.
If Leavitt notches the GOP primary and wins the seat in November, she could be among the first Gen Z candidates to win office.
New Hampshire 2nd Congressional District GOP primary
Voters will weigh in on seven Republican candidates next Tuesday eager to take on Rep. Ann Kuster (D) in November for the state’s 2nd Congressional District.
Among those vying for the Republican nomination include bar manager and bartender Scott Black; Bob Burns, a former deputy state director for Newt Gingrich’s 2012 presidential campaign; stone craft artist Michael Callis; Keene, N.H., Mayor George Hansel; Jay Mercer, a department head at New Hampshire Technical Institute and Rivier University; Army veteran Dean Poirier and Lily Tang Williams, who serves as supervisor of the checklist in Weare, N.H.
A University of New Hampshire Survey Center Granite State Poll released late last month showed Burns leading his Republican contenders with 32 percent among likely Republican primary voters, followed by Hansel with 18 percent. Williams placed third at 10 percent.
The Cook Political Report rates the seat a “toss up.”
Rhode Island Democratic gubernatorial primary
Gov. Dan McKee (D) is looking to win his first full term as governor after he was elevated to the post in 2021 after then-Gov. Gina Raimondo (D) left office to serve as Commerce secretary under the Biden administration.
McKee, who prior to his governorship served as the state’s lieutenant governor between 2015 and 2021, is facing four other challengers for the state’s top post: state Secretary of State Nellie Gorbea, former state Secretary of State Matt Brown, former CVS executive Helena Foulkes and physician Luis Daniel Muñoz.
A 12 News-Roger Williams University Poll released in August showed McKee leading his Democratic contenders with 28 percent of support among Democratic primary voters in the state. Gorbea followed in second with 25 percent while Foulkes received 14 percent. Brown and Muñoz both received less than 10 percent.
The Cook Political Report rates the seat as “solid Democrat,” meaning whoever wins on Tuesday will be the heavy favorite in November.
Rhode Island 2nd Congressional District Democratic primary
Rep. Jim Langevin (D) announced earlier this year that he would not be seeking reelection after serving for two decades in Congress, leaving the seat open in a race that Cook Political Reports rates as a “toss up.”
While only one Republican is running on the GOP side, five candidates are looking to secure the Democratic nomination. Those include state General Treasurer Seth Magaziner; former state lawmaker David Segal; former Commerce Department official Sarah Morgenthau; small business owner Joy Fox; and Refugee Dream Center founder Omar Bah.
Another Democratic candidate, Spencer Dickinson, suspended “the active part of his campaign,” The Providence Journal reported.
A 12 News-Roger Williams University Poll released in August shows Magaziner leading the pack by double digits with 37 percent support among Democratic primary voters in the state, followed by Segal and Morgenthau both with 8 percent. Fox, Bah and Dickinson both received less than 5 percent.

Former President Trump and the Justice Department (DOJ) have submitted a total of four candidates to be potentially appointed as special master in charge of reviewing the documents the FBI took at Mar-a-Lago last month.
The submissions came after a federal judge on Monday granted Trump’s request to have a special master review the materials that the FBI obtained to see if any are protected by attorney-client or executive privilege.
The DOJ also filed an appeal on Thursday to request that the special master not review the more than 100 classified documents that the FBI took, arguing that a pause in its review of those materials could cause “irreparable harm” to the government and the public in delaying the investigation.
The Trump legal team and the DOJ each proposed two candidates to conduct the review.
Here are the four people that Trump and the DOJ have proposed to serve as special master:
Raymond J. Dearie
Trump chose Raymond J. Dearie, a retired U.S. district judge for the Eastern District of New York, as one of his picks. Dearie was nominated to the seat and confirmed by the Senate in 1986 by then-President Reagan.
He served as chief judge of the court from 2007 to 2011, according to his profile page on the court’s website. Dearie assumed senior status on the court in 2011, moving to a form of semi-retirement that allows judges older than 65 to take a lighter caseload.
Dearie also served as a U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York from 1982 to 1986. He also served on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which reviews requests for surveillance warrants against suspected foreign spies in the U.S., according to Trump and the DOJ’s court filing announcing their choices.
Paul Huck Jr.
Paul Huck Jr., who is Trump’s other pick, has spent his legal career working in both the public and private sectors. Huck served as deputy attorney general in Florida for four years and then served as general counsel to then-Gov. Charlie Crist, a Republican at the time who has since joined the Democratic Party, from 2007 to 2008.
While serving as general counsel, he was the top legal adviser to Crist on constitutional, legislative and statutory matters involving the executive branch, according to his profile page on the site for conservative legal organization The Federalist Society, where he is a contributor.
The Federalist Society defines a contributor as speaking or participating in its events, publications or multimedia presentations, and the title does not necessarily imply any other endorsement or relationship with the organization.
Huck also founded his own law firm, the Huck Law Firm, and is a former partner at the multinational law firm Jones Day, according to the court filing.
Barbara S. Jones
One of the DOJ’s picks is Barbara S. Jones, who served as a U.S. district judge for the Southern District of New York for more than a decade and a half. She was nominated to the seat in 1995 by then-President Clinton.
She presided over cases on a wide range of topics, including accounting and securities fraud, antitrust, corruption, labor racketeering and terrorism while serving, according to her profile page for Bracewell LLP, where she is a partner.
Before she began serving as a district judge, she served as chief assistant to Robert Morgenthau, the district attorney of New York County at the time.
Jones also served as the chair of the Response Systems to Adult Sexual Assault Crimes Panel, which Congress created to analyze investigations of sexual assault in the military.
She served as a special master in 2018 to review documents from Trump’s former attorney, Michael Cohen, to examine if any were privileged.
Thomas B. Griffith
Thomas B. Griffith, the DOJ’s other candidate, served as a federal judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit from 2005 to 2020. He serves as special counsel for the law firm Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP.
Griffith served as the Senate legal counsel, the body’s nonpartisan top legal officer, from 1995 to 1999, according to his profile page on his law firm’s website. He advised Senate leadership and committees on investigations in the role.
Griffith was also the general counsel to Brigham Young University in Utah for five years. He is a lecturer of law at Harvard University and has served in that role in the past for Stanford University and Brigham Young.

As Champions League matches get underway, every team in every group will be looking to make some noise. There are plenty of groups to watch out for in this year’s Champions League, but Group H may be one of the best groups out there this season. Group H features a pair of heavy-hitting squads in Paris Saint-German and Juventus. While the former two clubs hope to cruise through the group stage, the other two Group H teams, Benfica and Maccabi Haifa will aim to stop them dead in their tracks. This group will certainly be one to keep an eye on in the coming months.
Benfica
While most soccer fans see Benfica as an underdog in Group H, they have had a stellar 2022-23 campaign so far. Since new manager Roger Schmidt took over the club last July, they have blossomed into a fantastic team. Benfica has yet to lose a match since Schmidt’s hiring, going 9-0 over the six weeks.
Benfica did suffer a major setback with the departure of Darwin Núñez last June. Núñez, who joined Liverpool during the transfer window, led Benfica in goals scored last season. Nevertheless, the club still has plenty of talent on its roster. With a barrage of young players and multiple quality signings joining the roster, Benfica has plenty to look forward to this upcoming season.
Some of Benfica’s strongest additions in the last few months include midfielder Julian Draxler (on loan from PSG), David Neres (signed from FC Shakhtar Donetsk) and Enzo Fernández (signed from Club Atlético River Plate).

Benfica got off to a good start last Tuesday, as they defeated Maccabi Haifa 2-0 in their opening match. They will hope to keep this momentum going in the coming weeks. Benfica’s next match will come against Juventus this Wednesday at 3 PM EST.
PREDICTION: Third Place
Juventus
Juventus had a transfer window full of highs and lows this past summer. One year after the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, former Juventus captain Giorgio Chiellini left the club to join Los Angeles FC in the MLS. Rather than letting these losses weigh them down, Juventus responded with several impressive moves in the ensuing weeks.
The club signed superstars Paul Pogba and Ángel Di María this past July. Di María will join the club after six seasons with PSG. Pogba, who previously played for Juventus from 2012 to 2016, rejoins his old squad following a six-year tenure with Manchester United. Pogba mainly plays midfielder, while Di María primarily operates as a winger.

One month after the additions of Pogba and Di María, Juventus acquired Filip Kostić in a transfer from Eintracht Frankfurt. Kostić was named Player of the Season for the 2021-22 UEFA Europa League. He splits his time on the field between playing as a winger or left midfielder.

Juventus faced an early test in group play with a matchup against heavy hitter PSG last Tuesday. PSG came out on top 2-1, dropping Juventus to 0-1 to kick off group play. They will look to bounce back against Benfica in their Wednesday afternoon matchup later this week.
PREDICTION: Second Place
Maccabi Haifa
As they prepare to make their first Champions League appearance in 13 years, Maccabi Haifa has a tough few weeks ahead of them. According to DraftKings.com, their odds of winning Group H currently sit at +15000. For context, the second-biggest underdog in the group (Benfica) has +1100 odds to win the group.
It will likely take a miracle for Maccabi to make it out of the group stage alive. Despite the odds being against them, they still hope to at least keep their momentum following a strong August. Prior to UCL play, Maccabi won four of their last five matches. Their last loss came against Apollon during the Champions League qualifying rounds.

Maccabi’s first Champions League match since the 2009-10 season did not exactly go according to plan. Following their 2-0 loss to Benfica last week, they face an ever tougher opponent in their next match: PSG. The two clubs will face off this Wednesday at 3 PM.
PREDICTION: Fourth Place
Paris Saint-Germain
Group H features plenty of talent across the board, but no squad features as much star power as PSG. The squad was considered a favorite to win last year’s Champions League. However, that dream quickly came to an end following a 3-1 loss to Real Madrid in the second leg of their Round of 16 matches. This time around, they will be coming back with a vengeance, hoping to make up for last year’s disappointing finish.
Two of the best players in soccer will suit up for PSG this season: Neymar Júnior and Lionel Messi. Neymar, who has been with the club since 2017, led the club to their first ever Champions League Final in 2020. Messi, widely considered to be one of the greatest soccer players of all time, joined the team in 2021. He went on to win the 2021 Ballon d’Or.

During the 2022 transfer window, PSG added on to their squad by signing Nuno Mendes and Vítor “Vitinha” Ferreira to a pair of long-term deals. Mendes played for PSG on a loan from Sporting CP last year; he officially joined the club full-time with a four-year deal last May. Vitinha signed a five-year deal with PSG following a three-year tenure with FC Porto.
PSG opened up group play with their victory against Juventus last week. They hope to establish themselves as the team to beat in Group H and get off to a 2-0 start following their match with Maccabi Haifa this Wednesday.
PREDICTION: First Place

Do you wake up feeling sluggish most mornings? Have caffeinated beverages become a necessity to help power you through the day?
If this sounds familiar, it’s time to ditch the quick fixes you rely on, and develop an energy management plan. Getting started may seem daunting, but soon you’ll be energized to keep going once you recap the benefits of a happier, healthier and more productive lifestyle.
What is energy management?
Think of your energy as a limited resource, like money in an account. You begin the day with a certain amount to spend. The amount varies from person to person based on factors, such as age, sleep, stress levels, medical conditions and lifestyle.
Activities and interactions withdraw energy from or deposit energy into your account. While you may not always have control over activities that deplete your energy, you can take steps to deposit more energy into your account.
Follow these seven tips to increase your energy and live a happier, healthier, more productive life:
1. Eat nourishing food.
A well-balanced, healthy diet is at the core of well-being. But it’s common to regard healthy eating primarily as a tool for weight loss. According to the 2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, a balanced diet high in fruits and vegetables, lean protein, low-fat dairy and whole grains is needed for optimal energy. You really are what you eat.
Consume a variety of foods from all the food groups to get a range of nutrients to provide energy throughout the day. Opt for fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables, especially nutrient-dense dark, leafy greens and broccoli, as well as orange vegetables, like carrots and sweet potatoes. You can choose from many types of fish and legumes for healthy protein options. Aim to eat 3 ounces of whole-grain cereals, breads, rice or pasta daily.
2. Sleep seven to eight hours per night.
Prioritizing sleep is one of the best things you can do to set yourself up for a successful, energized day. Sleep deprivation can perpetuate serious health conditions, as well as negatively affect your mood, motivation and energy levels. Getting quality sleep is a healthy habit many people need to improve. Most adults need at least seven to eight hours of shut-eye each night, so what prevents them from getting it?
Observe your sleep patterns if you are struggling with sleep. Take note of how much you sleep each night, factors that contribute to your sleep or lack of it, how rested you feel, and how much energy you have during your day. Then try sleep strategies to improve your sleep, like creating a relaxing and restful environment, minimizing light and noise, establishing a bedtime routine, managing stress, and turning off electronic devices.
Whatever you decide to start with, be consistent. Utilizing the same sleep routine and sleep strategies will help develop your bodies internal alarm clock and can lead to improved sleep quality. With improved sleep quality, people experience better health, and improved emotional well-being, lower risk of diseases, and are more productive.
3. Keep company with good people.
Maximize the amount of time that you spend with people you enjoy being around. Connecting with others who radiate positivity and have similar interests will excite and energize you.
On the other side, people you don’t relate to you or who have negative outlooks, complain often, or make poor choices will only drain your energy account. Be selective about the company you keep.
It’s important to set limits and boundaries to protect yourself and conserve your energy when around people who do not refill your energy reserves.
4. Avoid news overdose.
Consuming news is an important way to stay connected to what’s happening in the world. It can be educational, entertaining and even uplifting.
Unfortunately, the news too frequently is filled with stories of suffering. These stories can skew your view of the world and cause you to focus on your worst fears instead of recognizing the good that surrounds you.
You can’t avoid these stories altogether, but try to minimize your exposure when you can, especially during trying times.
5. Get regular exercise.
Do you find yourself feeling lethargic halfway through the day? Have you ever gotten winded by simple everyday duties, such as grocery shopping or household chores? The Department of Health and Human Services recommends that adults complete at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity each week. Contrary to what you might believe, this will add to your energy account and not subtract from it.
Exercise relieves stress and tension, strengthens muscles and boosts endurance, and helps your body work more efficiently during other physical tasks or activities.
6. Do something meaningful each day.
What do you feel passionate about? Do you have a special talent that you’d like to practice more often or share with others? Do something you enjoy every day, even if it’s a simple act like cooking a healthy meal or listening to your favorite song.
Putting effort into the things that matter most to you will help you use and reserve your energy in ways that will bring out the best in you.
7. Think good thoughts for others.
Maintaining a compassionate mindset is another way to conserve energy. One example of practicing this way of thinking is called kind attention. For example, try to make eye contact with a stranger and smile, while thinking “I wish you well.” This positive act can, instead, keep you from judging that person. Judging others can cause us to place judgment on ourselves, and that type of negative internal dialogue can be exhausting.
You’ll feel better with each step you take toward this important self-care investment.
Here are a few simple activities that will help you become more mindful of caring for yourself:
•Monitor your energy. Take your energy “temperature” at various points throughout the day, assigning it a number from 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest energy level. Pay attention to the details of your day so you can identify the people or events that impact you the most.
•Make incremental changes. Once you are aware of some of the people or events that sabotage your energy, consider your next steps. Rather than tackling everything at once, choose an area that is important to you, and be realistic with the goals you set. For instance, if disorganization in your home is a big source of daily stress, pick one cabinet, closet or drawer to clear out each week instead of overwhelming yourself with doing it all at once. Then move on to your next goal when you feel ready.
•Plan and prioritize. Take note of the times during the day when your energy levels tend to be the highest. Decide how you can take advantage of those moments by prioritizing important tasks when you are feeling fresh and productive.

NEW YORK (AP) — Hannah Waddingham wore Dolce & Gabbana with bedazzled high top sneakers on her feet Monday while Elle Fanning went Old Hollywood in a gown designed by Sharon Long of her show, “Catherine,” as glamour returned to the Emmys in sticky Los Angeles humidity.
Waddingham, from “Ted Lasso,” showed off her comfy white shoes beneath her corseted strapless pink look. Fanning, her hair in a pinned-back bob, said she wanted to honor the creatives on her show that provided her with her first Emmys nod. Fanning’s look was black and pink, embellished at the chest.
“I’ve always been inspired by the Old Hollywood glam of the ’50s,” Fanning said.

Nominee Sheryl Lee Ralph of “Abbott Elementary” had a fashion faux pas before arriving at the Emmys.
“A designer gave my co-star and me the same sketch for the same gown,” she said, having discovered it on set when Lisa Ann Walter showed Ralph what she was wearing to the awards.
“Up until five days ago I had no gown so Brandon Blackwood stepped up. He was in Japan and started rendering the gown on his Pacific flight,” Ralph said.
Ralph was resplendent in a black velvet strapless gown with orange underside and a slit to her upper thigh. She carried a tiny orange purse.
Connie Britton was in a goddess gown by Monique Lhuillier in a soft pink, a cape like effect at the back. Britt Lower, from “Severance,” donned a Venetian beaded gown in gold with matching elbow-length gloves. There were cut outs up top and thin embellished straps.
“It felt like I wanted to wear outer space. I have an appreciation for fabrics, my mom was a home economics teacher. I feel great in it,” Lower told The Associated Press.
Laverne Cox and Himesh Patel helped kick off the parade of fashion, she in a bold black armor-esque Jean Paul Gaultier Couture mini and he in a white print tuxedo jacket, eschewing the usual evening black. Royal blue on Sarah Thompson (a “Yellowjackets” writer), marigold yellow and more — bright color was a strong starter of the night.

“I’m quite warm, I’m in a three-piece suit. I love this suit, but I wasn’t expecting the heat,” Patel said.
Natasha Rothwell of “The White Lotus” chose red for a gown with balloon short sleeves and a hot commodity on fashion carpets — pockets! Megan Stalter also went for red in a sheer dress that celebrated her curves. Jen Tullock of “Severance” was in the red zone, a thigh high slit and structured sleeve number by Thierry Mugler, worn with drop pearl earrings.
“I’m such a fan of his line. It’s elegant but still has a sense of humor," Tullock said.
Stalter, from “Hacks, was in burned out velvet by Norma Kamali. She had a faux red rose pinned between her breasts.
“It took my breath away and my words. It’s kind of a sexy dress. It’s wild like me,” she said.
Jung Ho-yeon, the it girl and Louis Vuitton ambassador from “Squid Game,” wore an all-around, multicolored figure-hugging look from the brand. It was custom in a tweed design with all-around sequins. Her jewels were Vuitton, too.
"I still can’t believe it. It hasn’t sunk in yet, but I’m just going to enjoy the day and cherish the moment,” she said of her nomination.

Some of the men dismissed black for all-white tuxedos, including Nicholas Braun from “Succession” in a double-breasted tux from Christian Dior. Andrew Garfield also went for white. Speaking of white, Jean Smart decided on it, too, with an elegant collar that fell off one shoulder. Ellie Saab designed Kerry Washington's short draped dress with a long overskirt and a riot of organza lilies on one shoulder.
Smart's gown was made by Christian Siriano, as was the white look of Laura Linney.
Robin Thede also wore Siriano in stunning pastel blue, while Jerrod Carmichael went furry in a long, white fox fur coat. Carmichael laughed at the heat and humidity.
“This was Puff Daddy’s coat. He wore it in a video,” the “Saturday Night Live” comic said.
Carmichael was shirtless under the fur and wore a sunburst platinum necklace. His black satin pants were accented by the top of his white underwear peaking out. He was sockless in his black loafers.
Colman Domingo of “Euphoria” was already a winner as he walked the carpet. He earned an Emmy for guest actor in a drama series at the earlier creative arts awards.
“I’ve been celebrating all week long to the point where I had to wake up and take a couple of ibuprofen,” he said.
Domingo wore a gold brocade open jacket and matching pants.
“I want to feel like a king,” he said.
Domingo carried a platinum-studded battery-operated fan in an attempt to ward off the oppressive humidity, unusual for Los Angeles.

Mark Indelicato was in the red club, sort of. Indelicato's hair was bright red and his black tux sported long split tails like a train. And more of the men? Phil Dunster of “Ted Lasso” went for burgundy tux with black lapels, though his Lasso co-star Brett Goldstein stayed with black.
Emily Heller, meanwhile, went in a different direction. She had a “Kick Me” sign on the back of her short floral dress, and a bit of toilet paper stuck to one shoe.

PROVIDENCE — A Providence disco bar’s liquor and entertainment licenses are at risk after police responded to a wild bar brawl Sunday night.
Mi Sueno Disco Bar, at 1070 Broad St., has been the subject of complaints in the past. But new videos circulating on social media show a kind of chaos that people may not have seen there in the past. On Sunday, patrons there faced off with bottles, chairs, and fists.
As music played, people scrambled on the floor, which was covered with spilled drinks and broken glass. The music stopped and the fighting escalated. People were flung to the ground, and then others climbed on them and hit them. Several threw punches before grabbing black wooden chairs and smashing them down on other patrons.

WJAR-TV Channel 10 reported that Alexander Burgos Cerda, 20, of Providence, was arrested after police found a gun in his fanny pack.
Videos on social media show more chaos: men and women hurling longneck bottles from across the room, people tumbling into tables, and security guards covering their faces to protect their eyes from the shattering glass.
Posted by Rosa Rosita Rivera on Monday, September 12, 2022
A video posted at @tdyrerick on TikTok shows customers and staff helping to clean broken glasses off the bar and pick up tables strewn across the floor. Numerous empty tin beer buckets and ice lay tipped over on the floor and tables, which were pushed up against the walls. The tables were covered in drinks, food, and hookah pipes.
Mi Sueno, which in English means “My Dream,” is scheduled for a hearing with the Providence Board of Licenses at 12:30 p.m. Wednesday at City Hall regarding incidents on Saturday and Sunday. The spokesman for the city’s board of licenses said there have been reports of music from establishments in that area that could be felt blocks away. The board is going to discuss the incidents and decide if the bar’s license is at risk. The bar has voluntarily closed until Wednesday.

In 2015, GoLocalProv reported that a neighbor filed a complaint with the city about nose and parking issues at the establishment, which is licensed for alcohol, live music, and DJ entertainment.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Five doctors pleaded guilty in a pain pill prescription scheme involving clinics in West Virginia and Virginia, federal prosecutors said Monday.
The scheme was tied to the Hope Clinic and involved prescribing oxycodone and other controlled substances that weren’t for legitimate medical purposes from 2010 to 2015. Some prescriptions provided up to seven pills per day, and several Hope locations averaged 65 or more daily customers during a 10-hour workday with only one practitioner working, prosecutors said in a news release.
Hope Clinic had offices in Beckley, Beaver, and Charleston, West Virginia, and in Wytheville, Virginia.
Four of the physicians each pleaded guilty in federal court in Charleston to a felony count of aiding and abetting obtaining a controlled substance by fraud, the statement said.
Those physicians are William Earley, 66, of North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; Brian Gullett, 45, of Clarksville, Pennsylvania; Roswell Tempest Lowry, 88, of Efland, North Carolina; and Vernon Stanley, 79, of Fayetteville, West Virginia.
Mark Clarkson, 64, of Princeton, West Virginia, pleaded guilty to five misdemeanor counts of aiding and abetting the misbranding of a drug involved in interstate commerce, the statement said.
“These pleas show our office’s continuing effort to protect lives and prevent future overdoses through all means possible,” U.S. Attorney Will Thompson said. “A lot of effort has gone into this case.”
Gullett, Earley and Stanley signed numerous oxycodone prescriptions for a customer at a Charleston Hope Clinic in 2013. They admitted that the customer’s medical chart did not support the prescriptions, which were not for a legitimate medical purpose, prosecutors said.
In August 2014, Lowry signed prescriptions for a Hope customer in Charleston for 180 oxycodone pills. He admitted intentionally not reading the customer’s chart to determine if those prescriptions were necessary. Instead, Lowry issued the same prescriptions for the customer that were provided by previous physicians, the statement said.
Gullett, Earley, Lowry and Stanley admitted the customers reported being addicted to pain medication, had failed or had abnormal drug screenings several times, bought pills on the street and sold pills from their Hope prescriptions to others. The physicians did not discuss the possibility of addiction or the need for addiction treatment with these customers, the statement said.
Clarkson admitted to helping Hope Clinic issue prescriptions after major retailers had stopped filling them and smaller pharmacies could not meet the demand of Hope customers. In 2014, Clarkson wrote illegitimate prescriptions for a total of 635 oxycodone pills for five different Hope customers in Virginia that were filled at Adkins Pharmacy in Gilbert, West Virginia, prosecutors said. Adkins Pharmacy agreed in 2020 to pay a $88,000 fine.
Sentencing for the physicians is scheduled for Dec. 22. Gullett, Earley, Lowry and Stanley face up to four years in prison and a $250,000 fine apiece. Clarkson faces up to five years in prison and a $500,000 fine.
The physicians were indicted in 2018 along with the owners, managers and other physicians associated with Hope Clinic and a group that managed Hope's daily operations. The remaining defendants are awaiting trial.
