FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — A major Florida sheriff who was appointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis after a high school massacre appears to have lied when he didn’t disclose in his job application that he fatally shot another teenager when he was 14 and that he had used LSD, the state ethics commission found Wednesday. Broward County Sheriff Gregory Tony will now face a public hearing on the accusations or he could pursue a settlement. The ethics commission could recommend that Tony be removed by DeSantis, fined or censured. The hearing has not been scheduled. The commission overruled a finding by its advocate, Melody Hadley, who concluded that Tony’s actions had not violated state statutes. Tony’s attorney, Stephen Webster, called the nine-member commission’s decision “unprecedented.” “While disappointed in the Commission’s action, my client looks forward to a swift finding of innocence,” Webster said in a statement. DeSantis appointed Tony sheriff of Florida’s second most-populous county in January 2019, just days after taking office. He had fired Tony’s predecessor, Scott Israel, for his alleged mishandling of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School massacre in February 2018, a decision that was upheld by the Florida Senate. DeSantis’ press office did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment. DeSantis recently suspended four members of the Broward school board after a grand jury found they had not properly overseen security improvements related to the school shooting. A Florida Department of Law Enforcement report issued earlier this year said Tony repeatedly lied on his police applications, including failing to disclose that he fatally shot an 18-year-old neighbor during a 1993 fight at his family’s Philadelphia home. Tony was found to have acted in self-defense and acquitted, but the applications required the disclosure of all criminal arrests no matter the court decision. Tony’s attorneys have argued that under Pennsylvania law, juveniles are not charged with crimes but “acts of delinquency,” so he has no criminal arrests. The shooting was uncovered in 2020 by the Florida Bulldog news website. Before becoming sheriff, Tony was hired by the suburban Coral Springs Police Department in 2005. State investigators found that he also falsely answered “no” on that department’s hiring questionnaire when asked “Have you ever injured or caused the death of another person?” and “Were you ever in a fight involving a weapon?” He worked his way up to sergeant before resigning in 2016 to run a police consulting firm that specialized in active shooter training. DeSantis appointed him on the recommendation of the father of a Stoneman Douglas victim who knew Tony from the gym where they both worked out. The vetting process was completed in a day. The investigation found that in 2003, Tony answered truthfully that he had once used LSD as a teenager when he applied for a job with the Tallahassee Police Department, his first law enforcement application. After that admission caused his rejection, investigators found that on subsequent police applications, Tony answered “no” when asked if he had ever used or handled hallucinogenic drugs. Investigators say Tony also repeatedly lied on police and Florida driver’s license applications by answering “no” when asked if his license was ever suspended. Pennsylvania suspended his license in 1996 for failing to pay traffic tickets. Tony last answered “no” to that question in 2019 when he applied for a new license shortly after he became sheriff. In the August 2020 Democratic primary, Tony defeated his predecessor, Israel, who was trying to get his job back. That November, Tony easily defeated his Republican opponent in the general election to win a four-year term.

A new report issued by the Lancet Commission looks at the first two years of the pandemic to consider what the world did right (spoiler: not much), what the world got wrong, and how we can end this public health emergency and prepare for future ones. According to the commission, the failures cost us 17.7 million unnecessary deaths globally. (Not to mention the many people still struggling with the long-term consequences of a prior infection with COVID-19.) Here are four ways the world messed things up: Countries failed to coordinate and cooperate. One of the central findings of the commission's report was the lack of coordination among governments. Nations didn't consult with one another, for instance, as they locked down and reopened in a seemingly random manner. "We saw seesaw swings across countries, which gave the virus and the variants a superhighway for transmission into areas where previously it had not entered," says Dr. Srinath Reddy, president of the Public Health Foundation of India and a co-author of the report. Instead of a coherent global strategy, each country took care of itself "in an incredibly haphazard way," says Jeffrey Sachs, director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University and chair of the commission. Nations didn't do their homework. Before COVID-19, the Global Health Security Index assembled rankings on which countries would be best and worst prepared for a hypothetical pandemic. "They proved to be very misleading," says Sachs. Many of the nations at the top of those lists, he explains, ended up with high death rates and difficulties countering the virus. (In case you were wondering, the U.S. ranked first in terms of "preparedness for pandemics and epidemics.") The one region of the world that punched above its weight was the Western Pacific. "There wasn't confusion, consternation or deep public debate about basic public hygienic measures of wearing face masks, social distancing, [and] avoiding potential super spreader events," says Sachs. The result was that the Western Pacific had some of the lowest mortality rates globally and, he says, "did not suffer worse outcomes in economic terms than other regions of the world." Inequity was a "wicked accomplice" of the virus. In other words, we didn't share! The commission commended the rapid development of vaccines but faulted the nations that developed and acquired these highly effective tools for focusing on their profitability at the expense of not sharing them more widely. "While immunity is the splendid armor that protects us against the virus," says Reddy, "inequity is the wicked accomplice of the virus." In other words, lack of widespread, aggressive vaccination has allowed COVID-19 to evolve, evade and persist. When it came to an array of possible medical responses, "global and national decisions didn't consider the less vocal voices of our communities," says Gabriela Cuevas Barron, honorary president of the Inter-Parliamentary Union and co-author of the report. She's referring to immigrants, refugees, the elderly, Indigenous populations, women and children, prisoners, and those with disabilities, fewer resources and reduced access to health care. The public was infected by a plague of resistance. The commission noted widespread public resistance to basic prevention and safety measures. This was due, in part, to confusing and conflicting government messages. But misinformation and disinformation campaigns aimed at the very heart of public health science were also responsible, amplified and further distorted on social media. "We must actually ensure that people's confidence in science grows," says Reddy, "and we counter the anti-science movements that pose a serious public health threat all across the world. And the political compulsions that sometimes drive policymakers to perpetuate such movements must also be called out." To address these failures going forward, the commission laid out a handful of fixes. Among them: People of the world, let's cooperate! Despite a widespread feeling in many parts of the world that the pandemic is behind us, Sachs assures us it most certainly is not — "New variants, hugely uneven vaccine coverage, and quite possibly serious surprises still to come. In other words, we are not prepared for ending this pandemic." The commission urges strong international cooperation to finish this thing off. Create a combo platter of preventive and curative measures: Vaccination-plus! According to the report, the optimal strategy for bringing the pandemic to an end involves a combination of mass vaccination, testing, treatment for both new infections and long COVID, installing public health measures like face masks and social distancing, and financial and social supports to ease periods of isolation and quarantine for individuals. "We have to be prepared and make sure that we will leave no one behind in the future," says Cuevas Barron. Expand the World Health Organization The commission believes the WHO should enlarge its Science Council, a body of scientific leadership that directly consults with the director-general about "high-priority scientific issues and advances in science and technology that could directly impact global health." Their hope is that growing this group with diverse representation will help address future emerging infectious diseases, with a special focus on understanding "exposure routes and the highest-risk environments for transmission." Reddy says the lesson of the pandemic and the essence of the report is that global trust is needed to respond to a global threat. "Global health might have derived its initial impetus from a sense of shared vulnerability," he says, "but now it must draw momentum from a sense of shared values. We must actually stand and work together." Copyright 2022 NPR. To see more, visit https://www.npr.org.

NEW YORK (AP) — The British author known in part for his news-making bestseller on Princess Diana has a biography of Queen Elizabeth II coming out Nov. 15. Andrew Morton’s “The Queen” was supposed to be published in 2023, but it was moved to this fall after the queen died last week at age 96. “During her long and storied reign Queen Elizabeth II devoted herself to her family and the wider family of nations. During times of national celebration and concern, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, she was the glue who kept the nation together,” Morton said in a statement released Wednesday by Grand Central Publishing, a division of Hachette Book Group. “Teasing out the character of the woman behind the impassive mask has been one of the challenges and fascinations of this biography,” he said. The book updates a Morton biography published last year in Britain to mark the queen’s jubilee. According to Grand Central, Morton drew upon archival research and his long relationships with palace insiders, including private secretaries and bodyguards. He has written unauthorized books on William, Prince of Wales and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex among others. But he had the cooperation of his subject for the 1992 release “Diana: Her True Story — in Her Own Words,” in which Diana acknowledged marital troubles with Prince Charles, now King Charles III.

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate SEATTLE (AP) — Julio Rodríguez continued to strengthen his rookie of the year campaign with his fourth leadoff home run of the season, Eugenio Suárez and Carlos Santana both added homers, and the Seattle Mariners beat the San Diego Padres 6-1 on Wednesday. Seattle rebounded quickly from being shut out for the first time in nearly three months and split the brief two-game set. Rodríguez hit the first pitch thrown by San Diego starter Mike Clevinger 385 feet into the left-field bullpen for his 26th home run of the season. Rodríguez later nabbed his 25th stolen base of the season, making him the third rookie in league history to have at least 25 steals and 25 homers in their first season. But unlike Chris Young in 2007 and Mike Trout in 2012, Rodriguez reached the 25/25 plateau in his debut season. Both Young and Trout reached in the majors late in the previous season, but were still considered rookies. Suárez's homer was his 31st of the season, the second most in franchise history by a third baseman. His two-run shot in the first inning gave Seattle a 3-0 lead. Suárez has 15 homers since Aug. 1. Santana then provided some separate with a three-run homer in the fifth inning after Clevinger (5-7) hit Rodriguez and Ty France with pitches to open the inning. Santana’s homer was his 15th. Seattle kept pace with Toronto and Tampa Bay in the crowded race for the top wild-card spot in the AL. The Padres hold the third and final NL wild-card slot. The three homers were plenty of offensive support for Luis Castillo, who continues to thrive since being acquired from Cincinnati ahead of the trade deadline. Castillo (7-5) threw six shutout innings, scattering four hits and striking out nine. In Castillo’s eight starts since coming to Seattle, he is 3-1 with a 2.37 ERA and 60 strikeouts in 49 1/3 innings. San Diego put a runner in scoring position in three of the first four innings against Castillo but couldn’t come through with a key hit. The Padres went 18 straight at-bats without a hit with runners in scoring position over three games before Jorge Alfaro’s RBI double in the seventh inning scored Wil Myers. Clevinger allowed three home runs in a game for the first time in his career, and lost for the third time in his last four decisions. The six earned runs allowed was also a season high. TRAINER’S ROOM Mariners: RF Mitch Haniger’s sore lower back was feeling better but not well enough to be in the lineup on Wednesday. Manager Scott Servais said he would be re-evaluated ahead of Friday’s series opener against the Angels. ... IF/OF Dylan Moore (oblique) felt good after taking batting practice and Servais remained optimistic Moore could be activated during the upcoming road trip. UP NEXT Padres: San Diego opens a four-game series in Arizona on Thursday. LHP Sean Manaea (7-8, 5.23) will make his first start since Sept. 3 when he gave up eight runs in 4 1/3 innings against the Dodgers. Manaea has just one victory since July 31. Mariners: After an off day, Seattle opens a 10-game road trip against the Los Angeles Angels on Friday. LHP Robbie Ray (12-9, 3.56) is scheduled to start the opener. Ray has won four of his past five starts, but lost his last time out to Atlanta after giving up four runs in five innings. ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports

BOSTON (AP) — Federal officials are examining whether the employee who reported an explosion at Northeastern University may have lied to investigators and staged the incident, law enforcement officials said Wednesday. Investigators identified inconsistencies in the employee’s statement and became skeptical because his injuries did not match wounds typically consistent with an explosion, said one official. The officials could not discuss details of the investigation publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. The Northeastern staff member said late Tuesday the hard plastic case exploded on the campus in Boston, causing minor injuries, according to authorities. The case contained a rambling note that railed against virtual reality and also referenced Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, a law enforcement official said. No explosive materials were found and they do not believe the package was sent through the U.S. Postal Service, the official said. The official described the case as a “Pelican-style” case. Pelican is a company that makes hard cases designed to protect sensitive equipment. A spokesperson for the FBI office in Boston declined to comment Wednesday, saying the investigation is “still very active and fluid.” Northeastern in a message posted on its website Wednesday said the campus is safe. “Events such as the incident that took place on our Boston campus last night can create or heighten anxiety for many of us,” said the post, credited to Provost David Madigan and Chancellor Kenneth Henderson. “We would like to underscore what was communicated to our community last night: Multiple law enforcement agencies have determined that the campus is safe and secure.” The campus opened normally for classes and other activities Wednesday. Counseling and other support services were made available for students, faculty and staff. Despite reassurances from the school, many students remain concerned. “Every time I go to a class or dining hall or anything in general, people are just talking about what’s going on and what went on yesterday,” student Lisbeth Martinez said Wednesday. “A lot of people are still anxious and obviously scared of the situation.” The package delivered to Holmes Hall detonated just after 7 p.m. Tuesday when a staff member opened it, the university had said in a statement. The staff member, a 45-year-old man, was taken to the hospital with minor injuries to his hand, police said. No name was made public. Boston’s bomb squad neutralized a second package near the city’s Museum of Fine Arts, which is near Northeastern’s campus. Holmes Hall is home to the university’s Immersive Media Labs, which according to its website includes technologies for design, development, and exploration of virtual worlds. It is also home to the creative writing program and the women’s, gender and sexuality studies program. Northeastern is a private university in downtown Boston with about 16,000 undergraduate students. The case marks one of the first big scares in Boston since 2013, when two bombs planted near the finish line of the Boston Marathon killed three spectators and wounded more than 260 others. ___ Associated Press journalists Mark Pratt and Rodrique Ngowi in Boston contributed to this report.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration has picked a veteran foreign service officer with years of experience in Russian affairs as its nominee to be the next ambassador to Russia. Administration officials familiar with the matter say the nomination of Lynne Tracy, the current U.S. ambassador to Armenia, will be submitted to the Senate as soon as the Russian government signs off on the choice. Ambassadorial nominations must be approved by the host government under the rules of diplomatic protocol. Such approval is generally routine, but Russia’s acceptance of President Joe Biden’s pick for ambassador cannot be taken for granted at a time of particularly fraught U.S.-Russian relations over Ukraine, the detention of Americans in Russia, allegations of Russian meddling in U.S. and other elections, and an escalating spat over the staffing of embassies in Washington and Moscow. The ambassador opening comes as many Russia experts in the United States who might have been candidates for the Moscow post have been banned from Russia. Russia was informed of the administration’s decision to choose Tracy’s several weeks ago but has not yet given its formal approval, known as “agrément” in diplomatic parlance, the officials said. Tracy, who speaks Russian, previously served as a senior adviser for Russian affairs in the State Department’s Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs, as the deputy chief of mission at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. She also held several posts in Central and South Asia. The previous U.S. ambassador to Moscow, John Sullivan, left earlier this month, in an departure that had been expected this fall but was accelerated by the failing health of his wife, who died a day after his return. Tracy is well-regarded within diplomatic circles. She received a State Department heroism award from then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2009. While leading the U.S. consulate in Peshawar in Pakistan’s insurgency-ridden border regions, Tracy survived an attack on her by a gunman that left her vehicle riddled with bullets, but insisted on going to work that day and staying on post, even as security concerns compelled the consulate to trim its staff. Tracy also received the State Department’s distinguished honor award for her work as the embassy deputy in Moscow. Sullivan ended his tenure as America’s top diplomat in Moscow this month after nearly three years. He had been expected to leave this fall, but his departure was sped up due to his wife’s deteriorating medical condition. His wife, lawyer Grace Rodriguez, had not accompanied him to Moscow. While the position remains vacant, Elizabeth Rood, the deputy chief of mission to Russia, is serving as the top U.S. diplomat in Moscow. The ambassador post became vacant at a time when the United States is leading a campaign by NATO member nations to arm and fund Ukraine as that country fights to expel a brutal Russian invasion. The Biden administration also is playing the lead role in rallying international sanctions aimed at crushing Russia’s economy to force it to end the war. Russian President Vladimir Putin, who sees NATO expansion and other Western partnerships with former Soviet states as the U.S. encroaching on Russia’s security, launched the invasion in February, targeting Ukraine’s Western-oriented government. The next U.S. ambassador to Moscow also is likely to play a central role in negotiations to bring home two Americans the U.S. says Russia is detaining unjustly, WNBA star Brittney Griner and civilian contractor Paul Whelan.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — On the defensive for years in Republican-dominated Kentucky, abortion-rights supporters have gained an election-year advantage at a pivotal time — opening a big fundraising lead ahead of a statewide vote on whether to eliminate the right to abortion in the state’s constitution. The group Protect Kentucky Access has raised nearly $1.5 million this year in leading the campaign against the proposed constitutional amendment placed on the November ballot, according to the group’s latest campaign-finance report. Meanwhile, the anti-abortion group leading the push in support of the ballot measure, Yes For Life, reported raising about $350,000 during the same period. Heading into the crucial stretch run before the election, the abortion-rights group holds a sizable cash-on-hand advantage in a grassroots campaign likely to be waged precinct by precinct. Protect Kentucky Access had more than $1.2 million in the bank at the end of the reporting period last week, while Yes For Life had $390,105. Cash-on-hand amounts can include donations from last year as well. The flow of money to both sides is expected to intensify as the high-stakes election draws near. Abortion-rights supporters in Kentucky are trying to replicate what happened last month in Kansas, another conservative state. Kansas voters rejected a ballot measure that would have allowed the Republican-controlled legislature to tighten restrictions or ban abortion outright. In Kentucky, the fundraising by Protect Kentucky Access reflects “the energy and enthusiasm we’re seeing on the ground,” said Rachel Sweet, the group’s campaign manager. In capitalizing on its fundraising advantage, the group’s strategy is to “meet voters where they are,” Sweet said. That means using ”every tool at our disposal” to promote its message — including TV ads as well as phone banks and door-to-door canvassing, she said. Abortion opponents in Kentucky said they were bracing for an influx of money to try to stop the ballot measure but said they remain confident the ballot measure will win voter approval. David Walls, executive director of The Family Foundation, said abortion opponents had always expected the other side to “spend heavily to support its abortion-on-demand business model.” Addia Wuchner, chair of the Yes for Life Alliance and executive director of Kentucky Right to Life, said the rival abortion-rights group was drawing support from “radical, out-of-state liberal interests.” Approval of the ballot measure would “allow for a reasonable framework of abortion laws in Kentucky that respects the right to life and the health of mothers,” Wuchner said. Sweet said that small-dollar support for Protect Kentucky Access surged after the U.S. Supreme Court decision i n June that overturned the constitutional right to abortion. The group’s ranks of volunteers also increased, she said. The ruling was “a wake-up call for many Americans who, no matter how they may personally feel about abortion, believed that those rights were secure,” she said. Abortion-rights supporters have been on the defensive for years in Kentucky. Since Republicans took total control of the legislature in the 2016 election, lawmakers have enacted a series of laws putting more restrictions on abortion. Many of those measures ended up being challenged in court. The showdown over the ballot measure comes amid the latest abortion-related court battle. Kentucky’s Supreme Court ruled last month that the state’s near-total abortion ban will stay in place while it reviews challenges from the two abortion clinics that remained in the state — both in Louisville. The state’s high court set a hearing after the general election. The state’s GOP-led legislature previously enacted a “trigger law” banning nearly all abortions if the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Once that occurred, the 2019 trigger law called for the immediate end of almost all abortions. The only exception is when the mother’s health is threatened.

Tens of thousands of workers who run U.S. freight railroads could walk off the job Friday, sidelining the roughly 7,000 trains that daily carry goods from coast to coast, including crucial deliveries of medical supplies, chlorine to wastewater treatment facilities, and coal to electric power plants. A strike would put a crimp in the economy and disrupt an already overstretched supply chain, which has driven up the cost of consumer goods, fueling inflation. » READ MORE: 1 railroad union rejects deal, 2 accept ahead of strike deadline The Biden White House is working on contingency plans to move critical shipments and pushing the workers’ unions and the railroads to reach an agreement before 12:01 a.m. Friday, when a federally mandated “cooling off” period expires. It seems unlikely a freight strike would inconvenience Philadelphia-area commuters much, if at all. Likewise for passengers using Amtrak to travel the Eastern Seaboard’s Northeast Corridor. But holders of tickets on one of Amtrak’s long distance routes elsewhere found canceled trains beginning Thursday. » READ MORE: Businesses, White House plan for possible rail strike Friday Who might strike and why? Several of the 12 unions who’ve been negotiating for three years with the railway carriers have tentatively agreed to a new contract that was advanced by officials with the Biden administration. That proposal would give 24% raises, retroactive to 2020. But two unions representing 57,000 conductors and locomotive engineers are resisting and all the unions must agree to avert a strike. At issue: What those unions call brutal, unpredictable schedules with no flexibility and requirements to be on call 24/7. Some workers say they are in danger of losing their jobs and careers if they need to take a day for medical care or a family emergency, because of punitive policies at some railroads. Freight railroads already have said they need to hire about 40,000 workers to replace those who’ve retired during the pandemic. What about Amtrak? Would its trains still run to and from 30th Street Station? Rail service on the Northeast Corridor — which links Boston, New York, and Washington, with a major stop at Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station — will not see major disruptions. However, Amtrak said it was canceling its long-distance trains Thursday so they don’t risk getting stranded before reaching their destinations. The national passenger railroad runs nearly all of its 21,000 miles of routes across the country on tracks owned, maintained, and dispatched by freight railroad companies. But Amtrak itself owns the tracks along the Northeast Corridor, its busiest route and largest revenue generator. A strike would put a crimp in the economy and disrupt an already overstretched supply chain, which has driven up the cost of consumer goods, fueling inflation. Acela business-class service would operate a full schedule in event of a strike, Amtrak said in a statement. A “small number” of departures on the slower Northeast Regional service could be affected, Amtrak said. Adjacent routes such as the Keystone service that originates in New York, stops in Philadelphia and continues on to Harrisburg will not experience any disruptions, Amtrak said. Don’t SEPTA trains use freight and Amtrak tracks? Some commuter railroad lines in the Midwest and West are preparing to cut back operations significantly if there is a strike. But SEPTA commuter trains have not used any freight railroad tracks since 2015, when the West Trenton Line was separated from track it shared with freight company CSX during a project to upgrade safety equipment, spokesman Andrew Busch said. The Wilmington-Newark, Paoli-Thornburgh, and Trenton Regional Rail lines roll on Amtrak rails. SEPTA says Amtrak has assured them there will be no effect on their operations, Busch said. “We’ve been talking with Amtrak and they don’t anticipate any backups or delays to spill over into SEPTA’s schedule,” he said. What to do if a train you have tickets for is canceled? Amtrak says it will give a full refund without cancellation fees or allow customers to change their reservations, waiving any difference in fare for departures through Oct. 31. The railroad will reach out to contact passengers who might be affected, it said. Or customers can reach out to Amtrak. Where could consumers feel the impact of a freight railroad strike? Trains carry 30% of the nation’s freight. Economists and businesses say a strike would disrupt the nation’s food supply, increasing prices for consumers and devastating farmers who are harvesting crops in many parts of the country. Gasoline prices could rise again after cooling because refineries would not be able to ship as much product as they can when freight trains augment trucks and pipelines, industry officials have said. The economic ripple effects would only widen the longer a strike lasts. Congress has the power to pass a resolution ending a strike and ordering the trains to run under federal railroad law.

LONDON (AP) — A top court largely rejected Google’s appeal of a record European Union antitrust fine imposed for throttling competition and reducing consumer choice through the dominance of its mobile Android operating system. It marks another win for EU regulators taking a global lead in controlling the power of big tech companies. The European Court of Justice’s General Court mostly confirmed a 2018 decision by the EU’s executive Commission to slap Google with a fine of more than 4 billion euros ($3.99 billion). “In order better to reflect the gravity and duration of the infringement,” it’s appropriate to give Google a fine of 4.125 billion euros, the court said. That’s slightly lower than the original 4.34 billion euro penalty, with the court saying its reasoning differed “in certain respects” from the commission’s. “We are disappointed that the Court did not annul the decision in full,” Google said in a statement. “Android has created more choice for everyone, not less, and supports thousands of successful businesses in Europe and around the world.” The company has previously argued that free and open-source Android has resulted in low-cost phones and driven competition with its chief rival, Apple. Android is the most popular mobile operating system, beating even Apple’s iOS. The fine is one of three antitrust penalties totaling more than $8 billion that the European Commission slapped on Google between 2017 and 2019, putting the 27-nation bloc at the forefront of the global push to rein in tech giants. Since then, the commission has widened its crackdown on digital giants with more antitrust investigations targeting Amazon, Apple and Facebook and sweeping new rules aimed at clamping down on the biggest digital companies. Tech companies are now facing tighter scrutiny around the world: Google also got hit with a $50 million fine Wednesday by South Korean privacy watchdogs that also fined Facebook parent Meta $22 million. In its original decision, the European Commission said Google’s practices restrict competition and reduce choices for consumers. It determined that Google broke EU rules by requiring smartphone makers to take a bundle of Google apps if they wanted any at all and prevented them from selling devices with altered versions of Android. The bundle contained 11 apps, including YouTube, Maps and Gmail, but regulators focused on the three that had the biggest market share: Google Search, Chrome and the company’s Play Store for apps. Google had made some changes after the original ruling to address the issues, such as giving European Android users a choice of browser and search app and charging device-makers to pre-install its apps. EU consumer group BEUC, which argued for the commission’s case in court hearings, said the decision “confirms that Europe’s consumers must enjoy meaningful choice between search engines and browsers on their phones and tablets.” Google still has one more chance to appeal the decision — but only on points of law — to the EU Court of Justice, the bloc’s highest court. It didn’t say whether it would do so. The company has already lost an appeal of its first EU antitrust penalty, which it’s now appealing to the Court of Justice. The General Court last year also sided with the commission, upholding a 2.4 billion-euro fine issued in 2017 by regulators who decided that Google unfairly directed visitors to its comparison shopping service, Google Shopping, to the detriment of rivals. ___ See all of AP’s tech coverage at https://apnews.com/hub/technology. ___ Follow Kelvin Chan on Twitter at https://www.twitter.com/chanman.

NEW YORK (WPIX) — Police have charged a Brooklyn mother with murder days after her three children drowned, NYPD officials said. Officers took Erin Merdy, 30, into custody on Monday. The deaths of a 7-year-old, 4-year-old, and 3-month-old were deemed homicides on Tuesday. Merdy has been charged with three counts each of murder, murder – depraved indifference to human life, and second-degree murder of a child less than 11 years old for allegedly drowning her children, police said Wednesday. The NYPD launched a search for the kids around 1:40 a.m. on Monday after a relative called 911. The relative was worried the children’s mother intended to harm the kids. About 90 minutes later, police found the mother, barefoot and soaking wet, officials said. She was about two miles down the boardwalk from where she lived. Officials found the children around 4:30 a.m., police said. They were taken to a hospital where they were pronounced deceased. A family friend tells Nexstar’s WPIX that the father of the 7-year-old boy had been fighting for full custody of his son.

(The Hill) – Amtrak will cancel all long-distance trains beginning on Thursday to avoid disruptions in advance of a potential rail worker strike later this week. An Amtrak spokesperson said the changes will ensure trains can reach their destinations before the strike, which could begin as early as Friday, and the adjustments could soon extend to other routes. Amtrak is not involved in the contract negotiations between rail workers and freight companies, but many of its trains run on railroads owned by third parties that would shut down if a strike takes place. “While we are hopeful that parties will reach a resolution, Amtrak has now begun phased adjustments to our service in preparation for a possible freight rail service interruption later this week,” the spokesperson said. “Such an interruption could significantly impact intercity passenger rail service.” More than 115,000 rail workers are legally allowed to strike as of Friday, a deadline that has attracted a great deal of attention in Washington as lawmakers fear price gains and supply chain bottlenecks from the potential shutdown, which would add to already high inflation rates. The new suspensions, which begin on Thursday, include Amtrak’s Auto Train service, which runs between Lorton, Va. and Sanford, Fla., and its Capitol Limited service, which runs between Washington, D.C. and Chicago. Amtrak said it will also suspend its Cardinal service, which runs between New York City and Chicago, and its Palmetto service between D.C. and Savannah, Ga. Palmetto trains north of D.C., which use Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor, have not been suspended. Amtrak owns that rail line, which runs between Boston and D.C., so the company says “only a small number” of departures on the line as well as branches to Albany, N.Y., Harrisburg, Pa., and Springfield, Ma., will be affected. The rail service said it will offer customers the ability to either change their travel to another date or receive a full refund. Amtrak began suspending some of its longest routes on Tuesday and has since added additional cancellations, with 14 total routes now suspended as of Thursday. The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) on Wednesday became the first union to authorize a strike, with its nearly 5,000 workers rejecting a contract based on a White House-appointed board’s recommendations last month. The contract proposal would implement 24 percent raises and back pay, but workers are demanding more predictable scheduling and the ability to take time off for doctors’ appointments without being penalized. Fearing the potential economic fallout of a walkout, lawmakers are preparing to use congressional authority to block a strike. Some GOP senators have backed a bill that would approve the proposed contract, which is supported by railroads and business interests, and Democratic leaders have suggested they will intervene if no agreement is reached. “All parties need to stay at the table, bargain in good faith to resolve outstanding issues, and come to an agreement,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Wednesday. “A shutdown of our freight rail system is an unacceptable outcome for our economy and the American people, and all parties must work to avoid just that.”

WASHINGTON (Nexstar)– With an aging population and a shortage of all types of medical professionals, the U.S. is facing a healthcare crisis. Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle believe immigrants are part of the solution. Senator Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) says the nation is facing a shortage of up to 124,000 physicians by the year 2034, due to retirements, burnout and the student loan debt created by medical school. But Padilla says there’s a solution that would quickly add more doctors, nurses and other health workers into the system. “There are thousands of highly capable healthcare professionals living abroad with the desire to come to America,” he said. But the U.S. immigration system stops many of those skilled migrants from coming to the U.S. and also force healthcare workers to leave the country when their temporary immigration status expires. Democrats say one in four doctors and one in six nurses are immigrants, which is why they want to update immigration laws to allow immigrants skilled in healthcare fields to easily come and stay in the U.S. At a Senate hearing on the issue Wednesday, Republicans agreed. But they said there’s another equally urgent immigration issue. “I can’t imagine a path forward until we deal with the crisis at the border,” said Senator John Cornyn (R-Tex.). Cornyn and Thom Tillis (R- N.C.) say any immigration reform legislation must first stop migrants and illegal drugs from coming across the border. “I, for one, hope we get it done before the end of this Congress,” Tillis said. Democrats say the two issues are unrelated.

CHICAGO — Prosecutors in Chicago have twice accused R. Kelly — the Grammy-winning, multi-platinum R&B superstar — of recording his sexual encounters with underage girls. Wednesday marked the first time that a jury in Chicago agreed. Robert Sylvester Kelly, 55, was convicted on six of the 13 counts brought against him in July 2019. The disgraced singer — originally from the city’s South Side — faces decades in prison at sentencing. “It had to be the way R. Kelly wanted,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeannice Appenteng said Tuesday during the prosecution’s rebuttal argument. “And, ladies and gentlemen, what R. Kelly wanted was to have sex with young girls.” The jury — made up of four white women, three Black women, three white men and two Black men — started deliberating shortly after 1 p.m. Tuesday, following four weeks of witness testimony. The jurors, however, acquitted Kelly of seven other counts in the indictment: one child pornography count, one count of sexual exploitation of a child, one count of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, as well as four conspiracy counts. The federal jury’s decision to convict came 14 years after another jury — empaneled at the Cook County criminal courts building — acquitted Kelly of child pornography charges. That case stemmed from a VHS tape that purported to show Kelly engaging in sex acts with “Jane,” his 14-year-old “goddaughter.” Though he was found not guilty of charges in that case, federal prosecutors in the 2022 case said Kelly and his former business manager conspired to pressure Jane and her family to lie to a Cook County grand jury about the singer’s relationship with the teen girl. Kelly already faces a 30-year prison sentence stemming from his convictions on sex trafficking and racketeering charges in New York. He still faces two other pending criminal cases: one in Cook County and another in Minnesota. Kelly and his two co-defendants — his former business manager Derrel McDavid and former assistant Milton “June” Brown — were charged in a 13-count indictment that was handed up in July 2019, about six months after the premiere of the Lifetime documentary series “Surviving R. Kelly.” Kelly’s two co-defendants — his former business manager Derrel McDavid and his former assistant Milton “June” Brown — were both acquitted of the charges against them. After McDavid learned of the jury’s decision, he shot up from his chair, raised both fists in the air and exclaimed, “Yes!” McDavid quietly wept before hugging his attorneys, Beau Brindley and Vadim Glozman. McDavid also exchanged a hug with Kelly, who was seated just a few feet away from him throughout the trial. As Kelly was being led out of the courtroom, Brown tried to offer him a hug, but he was stopped by the US Marshals. Kelly told Brown, “I love you, bro.” Kelly’s sentencing date hasn’t yet been set. According to the United States Sentencing Commission, people convicted of federal child pornography charges received an average sentence of 23 years in prison in 2019. Four of the counts against Kelly stemmed from four separate video recordings that, prosecutors said, showed Kelly engaging in sex acts with Jane, the government’s star witness. He was convicted on three of those counts. Jane did not take the witness stand at Kelly’s 2008 trial, and jurors in that case said that was a factor in their decision to acquit Kelly on 13 charges of child pornography. The singer has always publicly denied any allegations of wrongdoing, though, as is his right, he did not testify in his own defense in his 2022 trial. In 2019, the singer sat for a lengthy and often tense interview with Gayle King on CBS. Amid tearful screams, Kelly continued to maintain his innocence. Testifying under her pseudonym over the course of two days last month, Jane said she was first introduced to Kelly by her aunt, Stephanie “Sparkle” Edwards, when she was 13. At her aunt’s recommendation, Jane asked Kelly to be her “godfather” when she was 14, even though her parents — identified as “Susan” and “Brandon” — already selected Jane’s godparents. Kelly accepted, and their relationship soon turned sexual, Jane testified. Kelly engaged Jane in phone sex, asking her about her breasts and the color of her underwear. That quickly graduated to physical touching and, ultimately, intercourse. On the witness stand, Jane said she and Kelly engaged in sex acts “hundreds” of times while she was a minor. She also testified that she was indeed the girl seen in the video at the heart of Kelly’s 2008 trial. She and Kelly also had threesomes with other underage girls, including some of Jane’s friends from school, Jane said. Kelly often recorded the sexual encounters on a camcorder, and he kept the tapes in a gym bag that he and his handlers kept nearby. Other tapes were stored at Kelly’s home. After Jane testified, prosecutors played for jurors 17 different clips from Videos 1, 2 and 3 that allegedly showed Kelly and Jane engaging in sex acts. Video 1, prosecutors said, was the video at the center of Kelly’s 2008 child pornography trial. Before the videos were played, federal prosecutors asked U.S. District Judge Harry Leinenweber to order all members of the public and press out of the courtroom. The judge denied the request, though courtroom staff erected partitions around the jury to ensure that no one other than the judge, jury and attorneys saw the graphic footage. The audio from the clips, however, was broadcast throughout the courtroom. The trial was held in the larger, ceremonial courtroom on the 25th floor of the Dirksen Federal Courthouse, which is typically used for naturalization ceremonies. The scope of the already high-profile case — three defendants charged in a 13-count indictment — on top of the court’s COVID-19 protocols necessitated the larger setting. The female in the video — Jane, according to her testimony — could be heard repeatedly referring to her genitals as “14 years old.” “I considered myself a submissive person and I wanted to give him what he wanted and what he required,” Jane testified. “He was an authoritative figure over me … I just went with the flow of whatever he said to do.” In one of the videos — “Video 1” at the center of Kelly’s 2008 trial — Kelly could be seen handing the 14-year-old girl money. That was done, Jane said, out of caution in case the tape was ever leaked to the public. “He wanted it to appear that I was a prostitute,” Jane said. Prosecutors said Kelly and his co-defendants were able to get rid of one of the tapes — “Video 4” — that showed Kelly engaging in sex acts with Jane and another government witness, Lisa Van Allen. Defense attorneys argued that the tape depicted Kelly having a threesome with Van Allen — who was of legal consenting age — and Kelly’s now ex-wife. Kelly and McDavid were charged together in the fifth count of the indictment: obstruction of justice. Prosecutors alleged the two conspired to pressure Jane and her family to keep quiet about Kelly’s sexual relationship with the teen girl. In 2000, Jane told the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services that there was nothing inappropriate about Kelly’s and Jane’s relationship. “I denied it,” Jane said. “I was afraid that something bad would happen to Robert … I wanted to protect him so I did everything I could to keep it a secret.” “It was instilled in me not to admit that to anybody and that’s exactly what I did,” Jane said. Jane continued to deny any impropriety to her parents, as well. In late 2000, the Chicago Sun-Times was the first major media outlet to report on allegations that Kelly was engaging in sex acts with minors. The Sun-Times was later sent the VHS tape that eventually led to the state child pornography charges brought against Kelly in 2002. Jim DeRogatis, the former Sun-Times pop music critic who’s written extensively about Kelly over the last 25 years, was called to testify in the 2008 trial, though he declined to answer any questions on the witness stand. DeRogatis was subpoenaed to testify in the 2022 trial by McDavid’s attorney, though Leinenweber later quashed the subpoena. In early 2002, McDavid organized a meeting between Kelly, Jane and her parents at a hotel in Oak Park, prosecutors said. Before his death, Jane’s father was a guitarist who played for Kelly. At that meeting, Kelly admitted to Jane “that a tape was indeed leaked,” Jane said. It was then that Kelly confirmed to Jane’s parents that they were engaging in sex acts. “He wanted them on his team as far as handling the legal aspects about to take place,” Jane said. “I just remember my dad storming out and being upset.” Kelly then dropped to his knees and begged Jane’s father “for forgiveness,” Jane said. “He was just saying, ‘I can’t help you,’” Jane said of her father. McDavid, testifying in his own defense over three days, said he was not present at the meeting. Instead, he said, he was waiting outside in the car. McDavid also repeatedly told jurors that never gave credence to the early allegations against Kelly because of reassurances he received from the legal team that he hired for the singer. After that meeting, Susan said, she and her family decided to lie about Kelly and Jane engaging in sex acts out of fear. “We feared for our lives and we were intimidated and we just wanted to make sure my daughter was safe,” Susan said. Shortly after the meeting, Kelly paid for Jane and her parents to go on a weeks-long vacation in Mexico and the Bahamas. Susan said the trip was a way for Kelly to keep the family out of the reach of law enforcement and the news media. While she and her family were out of the country, Jane got a tattoo of Kelly’s first name “Robert” inside a heart. Upon her return home, she said, Kelly told her that the tattoo needed to be covered up. Kelly then assigned Brown to take Jane to a tattoo artist’s home, where the tattoo was obscured. Bonjean showed jurors a series of friendly text messages between Jane and Kelly, whose conversations lasted until Kelly was charged in 2019, seeking to demonstrate that the two remained friendly for years after the 2008 trial. The courtroom’s public seating was full each day of the trial, with supporters of Kelly showing up and staking out spots in line outside the courtroom each morning of the XX-day trial. The US Marshals, who provide courtroom security at the Dirksen Federal Courthouse, repeatedly reminded Kelly’s supporters to remain quiet during trial proceedings. Three counts in the indictment related to the efforts by Kelly, Brown and McDavid to recover videos 2, 3 and 4. Prosecutors said the three enlisted Charles Freeman, of Kansas City, to drive across the country in an effort to recover the illicit tapes stolen from Kelly’s collection. Freeman testified that McDavid ultimately paid him more than $600,000 for his efforts. Defense attorneys, meanwhile, painted Freeman — one of several government witnesses to testify with immunity — as a con artist who approached Kelly’s camp and demanded money in exchange for him not publicly releasing the tapes. Freeman also testified in Kelly’s 2008 trial. On the witness stand last month, Freeman often sported a grin as he, at times, struggled with questions from Bonjean and McDavid’s attorney, Beau Brindley, who pointed out alleged inconsistencies between Freeman’s trial testimony and previous sworn statements he made to a Cook County grand jury and a federal grand jury. “Is this funny? You having a good time?” Brindley asked during Freeman’s second day of testimony last month. “Yes, I am,” Freeman replied before he leaned back in the witness chair and took a sip of iced tea. Freeman also testified that Brown was sometimes the one who gave him money. Brown’s name was invoked the least of the three defendants during the trial, and Brown’s attorneys sought to portray him as a lowly assistant to Kelly who knew to just do his job and not ask questions. Though prosecutors said they were able to recover videos 1, 2 and 3, the fourth video was never recovered. Lisa Van Allen — another government witness with immunity who also testified in the 2008 trial — testified that Video 4 contained footage of her having a threesome with Kelly and Jane, who was 14 at the time the video was made. Van Allen said she stole the tape once she learned Jane’s real age, and she sent it to Keith Murrell, a friend of hers who lived in Kansas City. Murrell testified that he watched the video, and he did not see anything that would suggest any of the people depicted were under age. Kelly was the lone defendant in the final five counts in the indictment, all of which related to alleged sex acts he committed against five different girls who were younger than 18 at the time. Four of them — Jane, “Nia,” “Tracy” and “Pauline” — testified at length about meeting Kelly while they were in their teens and the sex acts they engaged in. The fifth victim, identified as “Brittany,” did not testify during the trial and prosecutors never explained why. Jurors convicted Kelly on the counts related to Jane, Nia and Pauline, but acquitted him on the counts related to Tracy and Brittany. The initial indictment against Kelly, brought in July 2019, listed five victims, identified as Minors 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. However, Kelly’s superseding indictment, filed in February 2020, listed the victims as Minors 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6. During Van Allen’s cross-examination, McDavid’s attorney Beau Brindley suggested that she was originally “Minor 2,” but prosecutors removed her as a victim when they learned she was actually 18 years old when she and Kelly first met. A central theme of the Kelly’s defense was that several complaining witnesses and victims — namely Van Allen and Tracy — were actually of legal consenting age when they engaged in sex acts with Kelly. Tracy, who met Kelly while she was an intern at Epic Records, testified that she and Kelly engaged in sex acts in 1999 when she was 16. However, Tracy brought a lawsuit against Kelly in 2001 that alleged the encounters occurred in 2000, when Tracy was 17 — the legal age of consent in Illinois. Bonjean pressed Tracy on the inconsistencies, and Tracy said her attorney in the lawsuit — Susan Loggans, who’s represented several women in lawsuits filed against Kelly — may have made a mistake when drafting the complaint. During McDavid’s direct examination, Brindley sought to demonstrate that the early allegations against Kelly were part of a smear campaign orchestrated by his former manager, Barry Hankerson. Jurors, however, were not allowed to hear any testimony about Hankerson’s niece, Aaliyah, the R&B phenom who illegally married Kelly in the mid-1990s when she was 16 years old. Kelly also produced Aaliyah’s debut album, “Age Ain’t Nothing But a Number.” Aaliyah died in a plane crash in 2001. McDavid, on several occasions, told jurors that he never gave credence to the early allegations against Kelly. The attorneys who he hired for the singer in advance of the 2008 trial repeatedly told him that Kelly was innocent, McDavid said. However, during Kelly’s trial last year in federal court in New York, the singer’s former tour manager, Demetrius Smith, testified that Kelly told him that he was worried Aaliyah might be pregnant with his child. Smith said McDavid pushed Kelly to marry the singer as a way to protect himself from legal liability. Kelly was sentenced to 30 years in prison last June following his convictions on sex trafficking and racketeering charges. “R. Kelly used his fame, fortune and enablers to prey on the young, the vulnerable and the voiceless for his own sexual gratification, while many turned a blind eye,” Breon Pace, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, said in a statement after Kelly was sentenced. “Through his actions, Kelly exhibited a callous disregard for the devastation his crimes had on his victims and has shown no remorse for his conduct.” Bonjean, who also represented Kelly in that case, said the singer will appeal both his conviction and sentence. Kelly, meanwhile, still faces pending criminal charges in Cook County and Minnesota. Those cases have largely remained on hold during the pendency of the federal cases.

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — Health officials say the federal government is doing what it can to control the spread of monkeypox throughout the U.S. U.S health officials told Senators, Wednesday, the U.S seems to be containing the world’s largest monkeypox outbreak. “Over 22,000 cases and one confirmed death in the United States,” CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said. Walensky says officials are still responding aggressively to the spread of the disease. “[We will] use our entire toolkit, including vaccination, testing and education about risk to informed behavior change,” Walensky said. Dr. Anthony Fauci says globally, monkeypox is still mostly affecting men who have sex with men. “However, anyone exposed to the circulating virus can get infected with monkeypox regardless of their age, gender identity, or sexual orientation,” Fauci said. Both Democrats and Republicans say they want to make sure the federal government is doing everything to help those at risk. “How are you working with state and local partners to make sure we reach everyone who’s at risk for infection?” Sen. Bob Casey (D/PA) asked. “We need to do more and more outreach. We learned that we need trusted messengers, we need community-based organizations,” Walensky said. However, Sen. Richard Burr (R/N.C.) says he’s disappointed that the administration has held back vaccines, in case of a smallpox outbreak. “We know that we have 13 to 15 million gay men in this country,” Burr said. “You’ve got a population that’s a little bit questioning whether you’re doing everything to help them.” CDC officials say they will continue outreach to communities at risk and educate medical professionals on monkeypox, to spread awareness.

Rodríguez makes more history as Mariners top Padres 6-1 SEATTLE (AP) - Julio Rodríguez continued to strengthen his rookie of the year campaign with his fourth leadoff home run of the season, Eugenio Suárez and Carlos Santana both added homers, and the Seattle Mariners beat the San Diego Padres 6-1 on Wednesday. Seattle rebounded quickly from being shut out for the first time in nearly three months and split the brief two-game set. Rodríguez hit the first pitch thrown by San Diego starter Mike Clevinger 385 feet into the left-field bullpen for his 26th home run of the season. Rodríguez later nabbed his 25th stolen base of the season, making him the third rookie in league history to have at least 25 steals and 25 homers in their first season. But unlike Chris Young in 2007 and Mike Trout in 2012, Rodriguez reached the 25/25 plateau in his debut season. Both Young and Trout reached in the majors late in the previous season, but were still considered rookies. Suárez's homer was his 31st of the season, the second most in franchise history by a third baseman. His two-run shot in the first inning gave Seattle a 3-0 lead. Suárez has 15 homers since Aug. 1. Santana then provided some separate with a three-run homer in the fifth inning after Clevinger (5-7) hit Rodriguez and Ty France with pitches to open the inning. Santana´s homer was his 15th. Seattle kept pace with Toronto and Tampa Bay in the crowded race for the top wild-card spot in the AL. The Padres hold the third and final NL wild-card slot.

(AP Photo/Stephen Brashear) The three homers were plenty of offensive support for Luis Castillo, who continues to thrive since being acquired from Cincinnati ahead of the trade deadline. Castillo (7-5) threw six shutout innings, scattering four hits and striking out nine. In Castillo´s eight starts since coming to Seattle, he is 3-1 with a 2.37 ERA and 60 strikeouts in 49 1/3 innings. San Diego put a runner in scoring position in three of the first four innings against Castillo but couldn´t come through with a key hit. The Padres went 18 straight at-bats without a hit with runners in scoring position over three games before Jorge Alfaro´s RBI double in the seventh inning scored Wil Myers. Clevinger allowed three home runs in a game for the first time in his career, and lost for the third time in his last four decisions. The six earned runs allowed was also a season high. TRAINER´S ROOM Mariners: RF Mitch Haniger´s sore lower back was feeling better but not well enough to be in the lineup on Wednesday. Manager Scott Servais said he would be re-evaluated ahead of Friday´s series opener against the Angels. ... IF/OF Dylan Moore (oblique) felt good after taking batting practice and Servais remained optimistic Moore could be activated during the upcoming road trip. UP NEXT Padres: San Diego opens a four-game series in Arizona on Thursday. LHP Sean Manaea (7-8, 5.23) will make his first start since Sept. 3 when he gave up eight runs in 4 1/3 innings against the Dodgers. Manaea has just one victory since July 31. Mariners: After an off day, Seattle opens a 10-game road trip against the Los Angeles Angels on Friday. LHP Robbie Ray (12-9, 3.56) is scheduled to start the opener. Ray has won four of his past five starts, but lost his last time out to Atlanta after giving up four runs in five innings. ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports Seattle Mariners' Carlos Santana celebrates with Julio Rodriguez after hitting a three-run home run off San Diego Padres starting pitcher Mike Clevinger during the fifth inning of a baseball game, Wednesday, Sept. 14, 2022, in Seattle.

BOSTON (AP) — A package exploded on the campus of Northeastern University in Boston late Tuesday, and the college said a staff member suffered minor injuries. Authorities said another suspicious package was found near a prominent art museum and the FBI was assisting with the investigation. The parcel that blew up was one of two that were reported to police early in the evening. Boston’s bomb squad neutralized a second package near the city’s Museum of Fine Arts, which is on the outskirts of the Northeastern campus. NBC Boston reported that the package that exploded went off as it was being opened near the university’s Holmes Hall, which is home to the university’s creative writing program and its women’s, gender and sexuality studies program. It said the FBI was assisting the investigation. Authorities declined to elaborate, but Northeastern spokesperson Shannon Nargi said in a statement that an unidentified university staff member suffered minor injuries to his hand in the explosion. Felipe Colon, a Boston police superintendent, later described the victim as a 45-year-old man. Police converged on the campus shortly before 7:30 p.m., and the university asked students who had gathered for an evening journalism class at the hall to evacuate the building. Northeastern is a private university in downtown Boston with about 16,000 undergraduate students. WCVB-TV said one of its reporters, Mike Beaudet, was teaching a class there at the time. Beaudet told the station his class was moved outside but that neither he nor his students heard an explosion. Michael Davis, chief of Northeastern’s police force, told reporters the campus was secure. Boston police didn’t say whether any other suspicious packages were found. “We’re monitoring the situation at Northeastern and we’re ready to work with the university and our law enforcement partners on any prosecutions that may develop,” Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden said, promising “a comprehensive investigation to determine exactly what occurred here.” Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, both on the other side of the Charles River separating Boston from Cambridge, said they were increasing patrols on their campuses as a precaution and urging students and faculty to report anything suspicious. Tuesday’s explosion marked one of the first big scares in Boston since 2013, when two bombs planted near the finish line of the Boston Marathon killed three spectators and wounded more than 260 others.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — In a state with the second-most federally recognized Indigenous tribes in the country, California officials and tribal leaders announced an initiative Wednesday to drive up tourism in native communities. The initiative, Visit Native California, and its accompanying website are funded by a $1 million grant from the American Rescue Plan Act, which targets public health and economic impacts of the pandemic and was signed into law by President Joe Biden last year. Tribes announced it in partnership with Visit California, the state's main tourism marketing agency. It's one of the latest efforts to revitalize tourism nationwide after the early stage of the pandemic halted travel — and the spending that comes with it. California lost a projected $72.8 billion in tourism spending in 2020, according to research by Tourism Economics, a data and consulting firm. The goal is to inform tourists about the music, art, nature, and history that have shaped tribal communities for generations. The website will promote locations around the state, including through podcasts, and provide itineraries for travelers. People are also reading… “This project, this site, it gives my tribe the opportunity, the ability to share our culture,” said Reid D. Milanovich, chairman of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, at a press conference at the Agua Caliente Cultural Plaza in Palm Springs. The plaza, which will open next year, hosts the 48,000-square-foot Agua Caliente Cultural Museum, a trail and a spa at the sacred Agua Caliente mineral hot spring. Other tribal sites promoted by the campaign include the Barona Cultural Center and Museum in Lakeside, California, and a cultural center in the Santa Monica Mountains near Los Angeles. Milanovich, whose ancestral lands see 200,000 annual visitors, said he hopes the initiative leads to similar ones in other states. “I am optimistic and hope that other states across the country see what we are doing here in California,” Milanovich said. “The state and tribes partnering on tourism is a win-win." Caroline Beteta, president and CEO of Visit California, estimates that the organization has been in contact with more than a dozen of California’s 109 tribes ahead of the initiative’s rollout, set for March 2023. Leaders involved in the initiative hope it offers a chance for visitors to become more informed about the history of tribal lands. “Cultural tourism to us is so important for many, many reason,” said Sherry Rupert, American Indian Alaska Native Tourism Association President and CEO. Sophie Austin is a corps member for the Associated Press/Report for America Statehouse News Initiative. Report for America is a nonprofit national service program that places journalists in local newsrooms to report on undercovered issues. Follow Sophie Austin on Twitter.

Ex-deputy gets life for killing ex-wife, stepdaughter, stepdaughter’s boyfriend AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A former Texas sheriff’s deputy has been sentenced to life imprisonment without parole for killing his ex-wife, teenage stepdaughter and the stepdaughter’s boyfriend. Former Travis County sheriff’s deputy Stephen Broderick, 42, was automatically sentenced after pleading guilty to capital murder Tuesday in Austin in the 2021 deaths of ex-wife Amanda Broderick, 35; stepdaughter Alyssa Broderick, 17; and Willie Simmons III, 18. Broderick rammed his vehicle into his ex-wife’s house and shot dead all three people inside. Prosecutors set aside a possible death penalty in exchange for the guilty plea. The ex-deputy killed the three during a custody visit with his son, whom he didn’t shoot. Stephen Broderick was free on bond at the time of the shooting after being charged the year before with the sexual assault of a child and losing his job as a result. Stephen Broderick was ordered to wear a GPS tracking device, but state District Judge Karen Sage ordered the removal of the device five months after his release, the Austin American-Statesman reported. Prosecutors dropped the sexual assault charge as part of Broderick’s plea deal. Amanda and Alyssa Broderick’s family said the dismissal denied justice to Alyssa, who was the victim of the sexual assault. But prosecutors said they doubted they could obtain a conviction on the charge because the victim was dead. Sage, who passed the sentence on Broderick, expressed sympathy with their anger. “I wish I could bring you justice,” Sage said. “But the truth is, the loss you’re suffering, there’s nothing I can do to make that loss go away. It’s the best we can do in the system we have, and it’s never enough. My heart goes out to you. Three beautiful, wonderful people — I see their lives shine on through all of you. I hope that at some point you can find some peace.” Copyright 2022 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate GENEVA (AP) — It was the Erling Haaland show in the Champions League even on a night when Paris Saint-Germain superstars Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé and Neymar all scored in a comeback win. Manchester City also trailed, deep into the game, at home Wednesday against Haaland’s former club Borussia Dortmund in a fascinating quick reunion for the prolific Norway prodigy. The stage was set for Haaland to seal a 2-1 win after teammate John Stones leveled the game scoring with a stunning shot in the 80th minute. Haaland rose to his challenge in the 84th when he met a high cross with a twisting leap and acrobatic volley to send goalward a ball that seemed to have passed him. It was a 26th goal in just 21 Champions League games for Haaland, who has scored for City in six straight games and has a rate of better than a goal per game this season. City’s late win restored some order on an evening when more upset results beckoned in a competition that has been more unpredictable this season. Midway through the second half across Europe, City and Juventus were losing at home, Real Madrid was being held goalless at home and PSG was level in Israel after trailing. Messi had tied the game for PSG before halftime at Maccabi Haifa but it took until the 69th for Mbappé to seize the lead and Neymar sealed a 3-1 victory in the 88th. Madrid had to wait until the 80th to break through in a 2-0 win against Leipzig. Fede Valverde’s opening goal was followed by Marco Asensio’s sweeping shot in stoppage time. Juventus, however, did not find the late goals it needed against Benfica and fell to a second straight 2-1 loss, after defeat in Paris last week. Wasting a 4th-minute lead earned by Arkadiusz Milik, Juventus was beaten by a Joao Mario penalty for Benfica before halftime and a David Neres strike in the 55th. Neres’ former club Shakhtar Donetsk — who the Brazilian winger left without playing a game after signing just weeks before the Russian invasion of Ukraine — continued its unbeaten run this season drawing 1-1 with Celtic which dominated much of the play. Shakhtar might have a star playmaker in Mykhaylo Mudryk, who scored with a powerful left-footed shot for the second straight game. Shakhtar hosted the game at Legia Warsaw’s stadium in neighboring Poland for security reasons. A tough night for Scottish clubs saw Rangers lose 3-0 at home to Napoli despite 40-year-old goalkeeper Allan McGregor saving two penalty kicks early in the second half. Napoli was awarded three spot-kicks, through the second was a re-take after an encroachment offense when Matteo Politano followed up McGregor’s first save to score from the rebound. On his second attempt, Piotr Zieliński fired his penalty in the same place and McGregor saved again. When Napoli got another penalty for handball 10 minutes later, Politano stepped up and scored though McGregor got a hand to the ball on its way into the net. Napoli added late goals from substitutes Giacomo Raspadori and Tanguy Ndombele. Rangers were down to 10 men after James Sands, the United States international on loan from New York City FC, was sent off when the first penalty was awarded. Chelsea manager Graham Potter’s first game in charge of the 2021 European champion was a 1-1 draw at home to a Salzburg team that is exceeding expectations. Chelsea led on Raheem Sterling’s curling shot in the 48th and was pegged back by Noah Okafor’s goal in the 75th. Swiss international Okafor also scored in a draw last week with AC Milan, which leads Group E. Milan eased to a 3-1 win over Dinamo Zagreb as Rafael Leão starred and French veteran Olivier Giroud opened the scoring with a penalty in the 45th. Copenhagen and Sevilla drew 0-0 in Denmark and are both still without a goal in Group G led by Man City. Six days after the death of Queen Elizabeth II in Scotland, Rangers fans displayed a giant mosaic across one entire end of the stadium of a Union Jack flag imposed with a silhouette of the queen’s head when the teams came on the field. A minute’s silence was followed by singing the British national anthem. Celtic’s players wore black armbands though fans in Warsaw displayed a banner with an expletive in their end of the stadium in Warsaw. It reflected the club’s historic links to Ireland and some fans’ opposition to the British monarchy. The Champions League now pauses for three weeks during the international break for national teams. ___ More AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports

Stephen Broderick was free on bond at the time of the shooting after being charged the year before with the sexual assault of a child and losing his job as a result. Stephen Broderick was ordered to wear a GPS tracking device, but state District Judge Karen Sage ordered the removal of the device five months after his release, the Austin American-Statesman reported. Prosecutors dropped the sexual assault charge as part of Broderick’s plea deal. Amanda and Alyssa Broderick’s family said the dismissal denied justice to Alyssa, who was the victim of the sexual assault. But prosecutors said they doubted they could obtain a conviction on the charge because the victim was dead. Sage, who passed the sentence on Broderick, expressed sympathy with their anger. “I wish I could bring you justice,” Sage said. “But the truth is, the loss you’re suffering, there’s nothing I can do to make that loss go away. It’s the best we can do in the system we have, and it’s never enough. My heart goes out to you. Three beautiful, wonderful people — I see their lives shine on through all of you. I hope that at some point you can find some peace.” Copyright 2022 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

ERWIN, Tenn. (WJHL) – A News Channel 11 investigation found that patients are accusing an Erwin medical clinic of withholding their medical records. Patients of Bradshaw Family Medical, a healthcare provider located in downtown Erwin, say it shut down abruptly in July. William Wilson was a patient for a few months at the clinic, and he says when he showed up for a July appointment, the doors were locked. “We tried to get in touch with the clinic. We were told it closed unexpectedly. It became shocking after two weeks and there was no response, no communication,” William Wilson said. He and his wife Phyllis say they feel helpless. They accuse the clinic of ‘radio silence’ and withholding their medical records. “They abandoned their patients,” said Phyllis Wilson. “People need to get their records. They need to get their healthcare, and they can’t do that. We are being held hostage by this clinic.” “Every time we’d call, we’d get voicemail,” said William. “Every time we’d go by the office, it was locked tight.” News Channel 11 verified these claims, calling the phone number listed online for the clinic. The line simply rings and alerts that the voice mailbox is full. Wednesday, the clinic was locked up when a news crew stopped by. Patient Katherine Pierce was also knocking on the door of the clinic Wednesday afternoon. While she declined to be interviewed on camera, she told News Channel 11 that she was a patient of Bradshaw Family Medical for two years. Pierce has been trying to contact the clinic and get her medical records for more than a month. “I got no notice at all. None,” said Pierce. “It’s frustrating and depressing. This is medical care, and it’s needed.” Pierce said while no one from the clinic alerted her to the closure, she was curious as to why her most recent prescription was filled for a three months supply. “They were at least trying to take care of me, I guess. Make sure I had my medication,” said Pierce. She said until the clinic’s closure, she was satisfied with the care they provided. “I had no issues as a patient. I thought it was wonderful care, I had no problem at all. The staff was great. I just don’t understand what happened,” said Pierce. “There’s been no response. None. Absolutely none,” William Wilson said of his repeated attempts to get in contact with anyone at the clinic since July. Nothing is listed on the clinic’s website about a closure, and there is no sign on the door with an explanation. “It’s been very frustrating,” said Phyllis Wilson. Time is running out for patients in critical need of medication. William Wilson is diabetic. “So I’m at a point where three or four of my prescriptions have run out, and I can’t get them refilled,” he said. “We keep hitting the same roadblock that without medical records, nobody will see him,” Phyllis added. According to Tennessee law, a health care provider must provide a copy or summary of a patient’s medical records within 10 days of receiving a request in writing. If a provider fails to comply, the law states they are subject to disciplinary actions that include sanctions and a monetary fine. The Wilson family said they want the state to step in and take action. “We can’t believe this could happen. It shows absolute disregard for the wellbeing of the patients, the dignity of the medical profession and the ties that bind the community together,” said William. News Channel 11’s attempts to reach anyone with Bradshaw Family Medical by phone, email and in-person Wednesday for explanation all went unanswered. The Tennessee Department of Health (TDH) could not provide much information and did not confirm if it was aware of Bradshaw Family Medical’s closure. A TDH spokesperson clarified that if disciplinary actions were to be taken against the clinic, that information would be released in its disciplinary actions reports, issued on the 15th of each month. “Complaints against health care providers are confidential in Tennessee, unless and until a complaint leads to the filing of formal disciplinary charges by a Health Professional Board,” a spokesperson confirmed. The months of July and August show no disciplinary action reports against Bradshaw Family Medical. “Any member of the public can file a complaint with the Department if they feel that a healthcare professional has violated their practice act or rules of their profession,” the TDH spokesperson added.

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate PHOENIX (AP) — The Republican candidates for Arizona governor and secretary of state on Wednesday appealed a federal judge's ruling that threw out a lawsuit they filed seeking to require the hand-counting of ballots in November's election. Lawyers representing governor candidate Kari Lake and secretary of state hopeful Mark Finchem filed a notice saying they would ask the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to revive their lawsuit. The pair sued in April, repeating unfounded allegations that vote-counting machines are not secure. Named in the lawsuit is Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, the state's top election official and the Democratic candidate for governor, and the majority Republican Maricopa County board of supervisors U.S. District Judge John Tuchi dismissed their lawsuit late last month, saying they lacked the right to to sue because they failed to show any realistic likelihood of harm. He also noted that their lawsuit must be brought in state, not federal, court and that it is too close to the election to upend the process. “The 2022 Midterm Elections are set to take place on November 8,” Tuchi wrote in is ruling. “In the meantime, Plaintiffs request a complete overhaul of Arizona’s election procedures.” Lake and Finchem won their GOP primaries after aggressively promoting the narrative that the 2020 election was marred by fraud or widespread irregularities. Their lawsuit relied in part on testimony from Donald Trump supporters who led a discredited review of the election in Maricopa County, including Doug Logan, the CEO of Cyber Ninjas, who oversaw the effort described by supporters as a “forensic audit.” Finchem did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Lake's campaign attorney, Timothy La Sota, said the appeal was needed. “We are appealing because it is absolutely critical that we have a vote counting process that gives the public complete confidence in the process,” La Sota said in a statement. Federal and state election officials and Trump’s own attorney general have said there is no credible evidence the 2020 election was tainted. Trump’s allegations of fraud were also roundly rejected by courts, including by judges he appointed. A hand recount led by Cyber Ninjas in Maricopa County found no proof of a stolen election and concluded President Joe Biden’s margin of victory was larger than the official count. Election administrators testified that hand counting dozens of races on millions of Arizona ballots would require an extraordinary amount of time, space and manpower, and would be less accurate. They said extensive reviews have confirmed that vote-counting machines in Maricopa County are accurate, not connected to the internet and haven’t been hacked.

COST OF LIVING Aga lovers undergo an electric conversion Households are rushing to convert their gas or oil-powered Agas to electric because of the soaring cost of energy. Even before the next energy price rise in October, the cost of running a gas-fired Aga can be nearly £10 a day and oil powered ones are even more expensive. Electric Agas cost about half as much. There are about half a million Agas in the UK and about half of these are thought to run on gas or oil. They were originally designed in Sweden and are made in Telford. A Facebook group called “I love my Aga!” has 16,800 members. One of the most popular discussions at the moment is how best to save energy while running the ovens. Blake and Bull, the independent

GLENDALE — A Glendale, Arizona husky is quickly becoming the talk of the town, gaining massive attention online and from onlookers. Several of our ABC15 viewers sent us pictures and videos of Nala. “A lot of people love her honestly,” says Nala's owner Jason Camarena. “They want to take pictures of her every time they see her.” Neighbor Mark Hunt says, “They even have a security camera, but I think that’s better than a security camera.” Camarena says he believes Nala is their family’s watchdog. “One person actually came and knocked on our door and thought she was a statue. Because she just stood there. She did not move at all.” Nala scales her backyard balcony to her roof and enjoys running up and down the top of her home. “She jumped on our HVAC system too,” laughs Camarena. When other family members couldn’t provide the backyard Nala needed, Camarena and his mom offered their home two years ago. And Nala liberally took that freedom says Camarena. “Now she’s very happy and outgoing,” Camarena laughs. She’s become so popular, her owners having to post on social media that she’s not stuck on the shingles. But that doesn’t stop the gawkers, or even law enforcement from showing up. “At the end of the day, she’s just enjoying the view up there,” Camarena smiles. Nala’s neighbors gave her the nickname of ‘Pigeon’. She stays cool by only being allowed on the roof for 20 minutes in the middle of the day. She even gets some shade underneath the roof’s HVAC system. She also has a pool in her backyard where she loves to take swimming breaks.

- The resale business is now growing twice as fast as the broader retail market. - And it’s not just limited to bargain hunting anymore. Largely out of necessity, consumers are getting creative about stretching their dollars. After inflation hit back-to-school budgets hard and as families are feeling the weight of holiday expectations, more are considering thrift shopping as a way to save. Bargain hunting is certainly not new. But with the Covid pandemic came a surge in "thrifting" and secondhand shopping. Now the resale market is growing even faster than traditional retail. More from Personal Finance: More Americans are tapping buy now, pay later services These steps can help you tackle stressful credit card debt Inflation fears spur shoppers to get an early jump on the holidays "Resale continues to provide value in these uncertain times," said Brett Heffes, CEO of Winmark, the franchisor of stores like Plato's Closet, Once Upon a Child and Play It Again Sports. Money Report So called recommerce grew nearly 15% in 2021 — twice as fast as the broader retail market and notching the highest rate of growth in history for the industry, according to a 2022 recommerce report by OfferUp. While dominated by clothing resale, 82% of Americans, or 272 million people, buy or sell pre-owned products, OfferUp found, including electronics, furniture, home goods and sporting equipment, as well as apparel. Much of the growth has been driven by younger shoppers, particularly teenagers, Heffes said. "We sell a lot of sneakers." Thrift store shoppers save nearly $150 a month, or $1,760 a year, on average, by buying secondhand items, according to another report by CouponFollow. Saving money, however, is not the only driver, CouponFollow found. Shoppers said they were motivated by other factors, as well, such as sustainability and the thrill of the hunt. Because it is considered eco-friendly, it's also become more socially acceptable, Heffes said. "When I started in this business, there was a stigma around purchasing previously owned items, and that stigma is gone." In fact, sometimes buying secondhand is the only way to score a limited-edition pair of Air Jordans or other highly coveted and exclusive items. Now, part of the momentum fueling resale is the desire to gain access to a unique item, added Wells Fargo managing director Adam Davis, who works with recommerce retail businesses, whether that's "a Chanel handbag or Nike sneakers" — even if you end up paying more than the original retail price.

Ex-deputy gets life for killing ex-wife, stepdaughter, man AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A former Texas sheriff’s deputy has been sentenced to life imprisonment without parole for killing his ex-wife, teenage stepdaughter and the stepdaughter’s boyfriend. Former Travis County sheriff’s deputy Stephen Broderick was automatically sentenced after pleading guilty to capital murder Tuesday in the deaths of 35-year-old ex-wife Amanda Broderick, 17-year-old stepdaughter Alyssa Broderick and Willie Simmons III. The ex-deputy killed the three during a 2021 custody visit with his son, whom he didn’t shoot. Stephen Broderick was free on bond at the time of the shooting after being charged the year before with sexual abuse of a child.

OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) — If you have a business in Omaha, what's your number one problem? Hiring. That's what 84% of businesses surveyed told the state department of labor. "We often find ourselves in the community as having one person and two jobs to fill. So the challenge there is to match. But we also know that we just don't have enough people available for the occupations that need to be filled," said Erin Porterfield, the executive director of Heartland Workforce Solutions. Porterfield said she sees a disconnect between job seekers and those hiring. "We hear from businesses that they are not getting the quantity of applicants. We are hearing from applicants that they aren't yet getting that opportunity to talk about what their skills are," Porterfield said. The top reasons businesses claim they are having trouble hiring are not enough applicants, a lack of work experience and the wage demands being too high. "We know that some of the lower wage positions are harder to get people. So businesses are doing what they can to raise that wage so that they can come competitive with their peers," Porterfield said. And even with an unemployment rate of 2%, people are still looking for jobs. "So far we've applied for Dairy Queen and we did get one call back. Me and my son both applied," said Omaha resident Amanda Thurman. Thurman said she has her first interview next week and said coming to this office to apply actually helped. "It's amazing. I've actually had more responses applying up here at the workforce than we have on our own," Thurman said. Heartland Workforce Solutions is almost like a matchmaker, but there's a hitch. "We don't have enough people that are able to take those positions," Porterfield said. How many jobs are there in the state? The Nebraska Works website showed more than 52,000 jobs open and the majority are right here in Douglas County. Download our apps today for all of our latest coverage.

They watched in a strange solemn silence... expressions frozen in awe: SAM GREENHILL on a tearful public witnessing the poignant procession - Thousands of people gathered along the royal procession route yesterday - The Queen's coffin was followed by King Charles as well as other senior royals - Many well-wisher's were overcome by emotion as they watched from the crowd - The Queen's coffin was taken from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall - Full coverage: Click here to see all our coverage of the Queen’s passing Tens of thousands of people were there – along with an eerie near-silence. In the minutes before the poignant procession marched past, practically nobody dared to move or say a word. Until then, there had been an excited chatter among members of the crowd who had bagged their spots early at the barriers to witness the historic moment the Queen left Buckingham Palace for the final time. But then suddenly everything was stilled – as the faint drumbeat of the Grenadier Guards band drifted over St James’s Park. For the thousands waiting patiently on Horse Guards Road, just around the corner from The Mall, the procession could be heard long before it could be seen. King Charles, Prince William, Princess Anne, Prince Harry and Prince Andrew with the coffin of the late Queen Elizabeth. The coffin will lie in state in Westminster Hall until Monday, the day of the state funeral And as the gentle thump-thump of the military drummer grew louder, mourners began getting ready. Immediately, a hush descended. A man at the front in his 40s, wearing a large array of military medals on his blazer, adopted a rigid pose, eyes-front. People waiting patiently on camping stools quickly stood up. Others who had been on their feet for hours, and had no space to do anything, seemed to want to prepare themselves in some way, brushing down their clothes, shifting their positions and straightening their backs. Unfortunately an elderly woman – having probably waited for hours – fainted only minutes before the spectacle arrived. 'As the gentle thump-thump of the military drummer grew louder, mourners began getting ready. Immediately, a hush descended. A man at the front in his 40s, wearing a large array of military medals on his blazer, adopted a rigid pose, eyes-front' At the first sign that the long wait was over, a grinning boy in sunglasses was hoisted on to his father’s shoulders and had by far the best view, over everyone’s heads. Except that it was still a good ten minutes before anything arrived – and, judging by the waning enthusiasm of his father’s expression, the lad was quite heavy. And of course, across the crowd a forest of hands holding mobile phone cameras began sprouting. Yet for minute after minute, despite thousands of people standing there, the area was becalmed by the strange, solemn silence. And then a radio commentator in a glass box on stilts, who from his vantage point could see down The Mall, signalled to the crowd on Horse Guards Road that the cortege was on its way. He was rewarded with a grateful cheer. Being mainly British, many of the wellwishers were wearing raincoats, even though it had turned into a bright, balmy day. But underneath, a large proportion had also chosen something black to wear, and their expressions matched as the procession drew near. The gun carriage of The King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery bearing the Queen trundled past a sea of bleak faces. Some bowed their heads in her honour and one or two threw stems of roses. But most just watched mesmerised, their expressions frozen in awe. Before their eyes, the coffin draped in the Royal Standard passed by, followed immediately by the King, the Princess Royal, the Duke of York and the Earl of Wessex, and then the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex, plus a host of less senior royals. It was a huge amount to take in within a few seconds. A police officer stood guard every few yards of the route – and yet few of them saw the incredible spectacle passing just inches away. It was their duty to watch the crowds, standing in the road but facing away from the cortege. There were gasps at the sight of the Imperial State Crown, worn by the Queen on the way back to Buckingham Palace after her Coronation, as it glittered in the sunlight atop her coffin. The procession marched to the pace of a grenadier’s muffled drum draped in black beaten at 75 paces per minute, the royals keeping in perfect step with the Guardsmen. Wellwishers’ eyes darted from the coffin to the doleful King to William and Harry, and many were quickly filled with tears. And then, as the end of the procession finally rounded the bend to Horse Guards Parade, everyone took a deep breath. Children, parents, grandparents, tourists, military veterans and others from all walks of life broke into a spontaneous round of muted applause. For some, the emotion was just too much and the tears began to flow. Several red-eyed mourners were consoled with an arm around them or just a light touch on the shoulder from whoever was standing nearby. 'For some, the emotion was just too much and the tears began to flow. Several red-eyed mourners were consoled with an arm around them or just a light touch on the shoulder from whoever was standing nearby' 'Children, parents, grandparents, tourists, military veterans and others from all walks of life broke into a spontaneous round of muted applause' Laura Blake, 46, said: ‘It was very, very emotional. Everyone went so quiet. You could hear the stillness. It was such an honour to witness that. As soon as we heard the music, the sun came out from behind the clouds. It was magical. ‘It was very emotional. The precision – every little detail – was spectacular. There was a quiet dignity in what they were doing. All the detail and the discipline. ‘It makes us so proud to be British. I’m so proud of this country and I’m so proud that we have a Royal Family. Everyone was just mesmerised. We’ve been chatting to people we’ve never met before.’ She added: ‘The Queen has always united people. She’s been that one constant in our lives. She’s always had the right words. We didn’t know if we would be able to see anything. But, after everything she’s done for us, all we could do is try.’ Fabiana Riveros, 32, from Essex, said: ‘It made me cry and I didn’t think it would. This morning the atmosphere in the crowd was really friendly – nobody was pushing to get to the front or arguing. ‘It was all very respectful. When the procession came past it was very quiet as people contemplated the impact the Queen has had on the country for the last 70 years.’ Thousands gathered in London yesterday to catch a glimpse of the Royal procession as the Queen's coffin left Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall Mourners went to extraordinary lengths to soak up yesterday’s moment in history. Some clambered on railings, others attempted to scale trees – until police ordered them down. The Department for International Trade offices overlook Horse Guards Parade and canny civil servants had pre-booked ‘meetings’ in rooms with the best views. In Hyde Park, giant screens had been set up and the area was packed with those who had not made it to the procession route in time or who simply wanted to enjoy a view of the entire parade. Matthew Danbury, 44, of Bewdley, Worcestershire, said: ‘I wanted to come to pay my respects. It’s a real moment in our nation’s history – the Queen leaving Buckingham Palace for the very last time. ‘It has been an extraordinary day and I cannot believe the huge crowds. It has been very moving.’ On The Mall, Elaena Shipp, 24, from north London, said: ‘I wanted to see a slice of history and this was a pretty momentous occasion. It is something many of us have never seen – the preparation for a state funeral for a serving monarch. ‘I wouldn’t have missed it for the world. There were thousands of people waiting but, as soon as the coffin with the Royal Family walking behind it approached, there was a hushed, solemn atmosphere.I was expecting it to be louder, with more people shouting from the crowd. It’s quite a fitting mood really, I think people are really feeling the gravity of the situation.’ Artist Alan Storer, 75, of Twickenham, south-west London, said: ‘It was very moving and in a way quite understated, so much so that I actually missed the Queen’s coffin even though it came right past me. ‘But I’m glad I came here and soaked up a piece of history. We’ve become so used to seeing the Queen smiling and waving at crowds that to know she isn’t here any more is quite strange. ‘I felt it important to kind of tune in to the energy of the occasion. It’s something to look back on and say “I was there”.’

Gate City Bank wins 2022 Freedom Award FARGO, N.D. (KVRR) — Gate City Bank wins a prestigious award sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense. The Fargo-based bank is one of 15 recipients to receive the 2022 Freedom Award. It recognizes an employer for exceptional support for National Guard and Reserve employees. The nominations were submitted by a National Guard or Reserve Component service member employed in their organization. More than 2,700 nominations came in from across the U.S. A sergeant based in Gate City Bank’s Bismarck branch is honored to be part of the process. “I saw a Facebook post about the freedom award and I nominated them for the Freedom Award, never expecting anything to happen then all of a sudden like a month later, I got a call saying, ‘Hey we won the Freedom Award,’ like, ‘Wait, what? Isn’t there like 3,000 employers that try out for that? How did we win?,’ I knew we were a great company but this is awesome,” North Dakota Army National Guard Sgt. Bleau Hoge said. Gate City Bank has more than 300 employees with the North Dakota National Guard on staff.

Orange County Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Maria Vasquez left an audio message for parents regarding an increase in joke threats throughout the Orange County School District on Tuesday. “Some students may think of this as a prank, but this is not a joke and it’s taken very seriously,” Vasquez said. “It doesn’t matter if they say it, text it, write it, snap it or post it on social media, students who make threats can face serious consequences according to our Code of Student Conduct and through law enforcement.” Vasquez also encouraged parents to speak to their children about the importance of safety and check there are no prohibited items in their backpacks before sending them to school. Vasquez’ statement follows a series of prank threats throughout the Orange County Public School system this past week. West Orange High School in Winter Garden has received two written threats within the span of two days, sparking investigation from deputies. A suspect for these threats has since been identified, the sheriff's office said. Maitland High School, in Volusia County, released a statement similar to Vasquez’ after a prank shooting scare caused panic on Friday, Sept. 9. “To prevent these types of situations from occurring in the future, we are asking parents and guardians to communicate with their children how dangerous these pranks are, how they create a very unsafe school environment, and how serious the internal and external consequences are,” the Twitter statement read. Anyone who becomes aware of a threat should report it through the FortifyFL app, Vasquez said.

By COLLEEN LONG and TOM KRISHER Associated Press DETROIT (AP) — President Joe Biden, a “car guy” with his own vintage Corvette, showcased his administration’s efforts to promote electric vehicles during a visit Wednesday to the Detroit auto show. Biden traveled to the massive North American International Auto Show to plug the huge new climate, tax and health care law that offers tax incentives for buying electric vehicles. He toured a mix of American-manufactured hybrid, electric and combustion vehicles from Chevrolet, General Motors, Ford and Stellantis on a closed-off convention center floor, and greeted union workers, CEOs and local leaders. “You all know I’m a car guy,” Biden told a roaring crowd of autoworkers, adding that cars “just give me a sense of optimism — although I like the speed too.” While Biden has been taking credit for the recent boom in electric vehicle battery and assembly plant announcements, most were in the works long before the Inflation Reduction Act was signed into law on Aug. 16. Biden’s 2021 infrastructure legislation could have something to do with it — it provides $5 billion over five years to help states create a network of EV charging stations. In Detroit, Biden announced approval of the first $900 million in infrastructure money to build EV chargers across 53,000 miles of the national highway system in 34 states and Puerto Rico. “The great American road trip is going to be fully electrified,” Biden said. He also highlighted the law’s funding supporting infrastructure projects in Detroit and across Michigan. “When you see these big projects in your home towns,” Biden said, “I want you to feel the way I feel: Pride. Pride in what we can do when we do it together.” The president credited the United Auto Workers and other unions with supporting him in his 2020 bid for the White House. He highlighted how his administration has worked to promote union contracts for big projects, calling union workers the “most skilled” in the nation. “The middle class built America, and unions built the middle class,” Biden said. He made time for party politics, too. He praised Michigan Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who is up for reelection in November, calling her “a great governor” who has utilized federal resources for her state to the fullest. Biden also participated in a Michigan Democratic Party fundraiser on behalf of her reelection campaign. During a tour of the convention center floor, the Democratic president, who recently took a spin in his pine-green 1967 Stingray with Jay Leno for a segment on CNBC’s “Jay Leno’s Garage,” hopped into the driver seat of a bright orange Chevrolet Corvette Z06 — which starts at $106,000 and is not an EV —and fired up its engine, alongside GM CEO Mary Barra. “He says he’s driving home,” she joked. Biden then toured the new electric Ford Mustang Mach-E, marveling with Ford executive chairman Bill Ford at the model’s performance. “It’s amazing the speed,” Biden said, adding, “Does it have a launch button?” He also explored less-flashy vehicles, like Ford’s all-electric E-Transit van and F-150 truck. Biden finally got behind the wheel of a Cadillac Lyriq all electric SUV, which starts at $63,000, briefly driving it down an aisle in the blue-carpeted hall. It marked a rare occasion to drive — albeit at little more than a walking pace — for the president, who typically is transported in armored U.S. Secret Service vehicles when out in public. “Jump in, I’ll give you a ride to Washington,” he joked to reporters. “It’s a beautiful car,” he said, “but I love the Corvette.” Under the new law, electric vehicles must be built in North America to be eligible for a federal tax credit of up to $7,500. Batteries for qualifying vehicles also must be made in North America, and there are requirements for battery minerals to be produced or recycled on the continent. The credits are aimed at creating a U.S. electric vehicle supply chain and ending dependence on other countries, mainly China. Passage of the measure set off a scramble by automakers to speed up efforts to find North American-made batteries and battery minerals from the U.S., Canada or Mexico to make sure EVs are eligible for the credit. In April, Ford started building electric pickup trucks at a new Michigan factory. General Motors has revamped an older factory in Detroit to make electric Hummers and pickups. Long before legislators reached a compromise on the legislation, each company announced three EV battery factories, all joint ventures with battery makers. A GM battery plant in Warren, Ohio, has already started manufacturing. A government loan announced in July will help GM build its battery factories. Ford said last September it would build the next generation of electric pickups at a plant in Tennessee, and GM has announced EV assembly plants in Lansing, Michigan; Spring Hill, Tennessee; and Orion Township, Michigan. In May, Stellantis, formerly Fiat Chrysler, said it would build another joint venture battery factory in Indiana, and it has announced a battery plant in Canada. Hyundai announced battery and assembly plants in May to be built in Georgia, and Vietnamese automaker VinFast announced factories in North Carolina in July. Honda and Toyota both announced U.S. battery plants after the act was passed, but they had been planned for months. Biden has been talking for a long time about the importance of building a domestic EV supply chain, and that may have prodded some of the companies to locate factories in the U.S. But it’s also advantageous to build batteries near where EVs will be assembled because the batteries are heavy and costly to ship from overseas. And auto companies are rolling out more affordable electric options despite battery costs. The latest came last week from General Motors, a Chevrolet Equinox small SUV. It has a starting price around $30,000 and a range-per-charge of 250 miles, or 400 kilometers. Buyers can get a range of 300 miles, or 500 kilometers, if they pay more. The Equinox checks the North American assembly box. It will be made in Mexico. The company won’t say where the battery will be made but it is working on meeting the other criteria for getting the tax credit. It will take more than government money to build enough charging stations to ease the public’s anxiety over running out of juice with an electric vehicle, said Christian Meunier, CEO of Stellantis’ Jeep brand. But the money Biden announced should bring more private investment, he said. “There is momentum building. There will be a business case for private companies to invest more,” Meunier said on the floor of the auto show. “It’s going to exponentially grow.” ___ Krisher reported from Detroit.

The story is told of a rich, yet arrogant, man who is cast under a spell because of his selfishness. “It’s one of my favorites,” said director Maria Lightner. “I love the theme; not judging someone by their outward appearance, but looking inside of their true beauty.” The musical has a large cast filled with groups of families. Since the Decatur Civic Center has a stage large enough to produce a grand show with several characters, Mid-Summer Moon Productions welcomed children and families to audition for the show. “If you’re taking your child to rehearsals, you might as well be on stage with them,” Lightner said. “And how fun is it to be on stage with your child and be there when they make their stage debut.” Jennifer Power will be on stage as Mrs. Potts. Her daughters, ages 8 and 11, will be in the ensemble. As a dancer, Power has performed in “The Nutcracker” for the local production company in the past. “When my younger daughter, Kenna, heard they were doing “Descendants” last year, she begged me to do it with her,” Power said. “I thought that would be fun.” After watching the family perform together, the older Katie decided to audition for the current show. The Power women will be joined on stage by other families. “But it’s a family friendly show,” Power said. “And the theater is wonderful for all ages.” To encourage young actors, Mid-Summer Moon Productions has invited members of the Boys and Girls Club and Homework Hangout to their Saturday matinee show. “Then the cast will stay after the show so the audience can ask questions,” Lightner said. “The more opportunities that we can provide (to be on stage) in this community, the better.” 26 famous people who performed at the Lincoln Square Theatre A look back Bob Hope Magician Harry Blackstone John Philip Sousa Heavyweight boxer Jack Dempsey Al Jolson Chico Marx Lionel and Ethel Barrymore Anna Pavlova Russian pianist Pesetzki Presidential candidate Hiram Johnson (1924) Violinist Friedrich "Fritz" Kreisler Magician Rajah Raboid Johnny Russell Ernest Tubb Steppenwolf with John Kay John Hartford Ozark Mountain Daredevils Muddy Waters B.B.

Second-half goal carries Atlanta United past Orlando City Thiago Almada scored in the 72nd minute to lift visiting Atlanta United to a 1-0 victory over Orlando City on Wednesday night. Defender Andrew Gutman deftly returned Almada's feed just above the top of the box, allowing Almada to neatly deke Orlando City's Antonio Carlos to the ground and provide a proper finish. The goal was Almada's sixth of the season and second in as many matches. He had one goal and one assist in Atlanta's 4-2 victory over Toronto FC on Saturday. Gutman was credited with his second assist of the season and Raul Gudino made three saves for Atlanta United (10-12-9, 39 points), who won consecutive MLS matches for the first time in 2022. The Five Stripes also improved to 2-9-5 on the road this season. Orlando City SC (12-12-6, 42 points) pressed for the equalizer, but to no avail. Tesho Akindele's header off a through ball from Mauricio Pereyra sailed wide of the net in the 89th minute. Pedro Gallese finished with three saves for Orlando City, who have dropped two in a row following a four-match winning streak. They reside three points behind fourth-place New York City FC (13-11-7, 46 points) in the Eastern Conference. The Lions dropped a 5-1 decision to Philadelphia Union on Saturday. Both teams struggled to find any semblance of offensive consistency after the match began following a 47-minute weather-related delay. Atlanta United nearly opened the scoring during first-half stoppage time. Dom Dwyer's through ball found a streaking Gutman, who was denied by Gallese from point-blank range. Atlanta's Alan Franco sustained an apparent injury to his left arm midway in the first half, but he remained in the match. Atlanta United's star striker, Josef Martinez, entered the match as a substitute in the 56th minute after serving a one-game suspension for conduct detrimental to the team. --Field Level Media

A redesigned Honda Pilot is coming for 2023 and we’ll see the covers come off late this year. On Wednesday, Honda teased that its new mid-size SUV will be the next recipient of the off-road-inspired Trailsport treatment, again. Offered for the first time on the 2022 Passport, the Trailsport treatment adds unique fascia designs, wheel patterns, and interior accents. It doesn’t add any serious off-road mods, though the situation may change with the 2023 Pilot. Honda described the vehicle as its “most rugged and capable” SUV yet. The new Pilot is expected to be a twin under the skin with the redesigned 2022 Acura MDX. This would mean a platform more rigid than the one it replaces, translating into improved road manners. The SUV is expected to offer seating for up to eight and pack a V-6 engine as standard. Prototypes show a more rugged design than the current Pilot whose soft lines are more minivan than SUV. The reveal of the new Pilot will cap off a busy year for Honda’s SUV engineers. The automaker already has launched new versions of the subcompact HR-V and compact CR-V. Honda’s SUV onslaught isn’t about to slow, though. In addition to the new Pilot, there will be the electric Prologue making a debut in 2023.

Jeurys Familia broke the news of his own departure on Tuesday night, telling reporters after the game that he had been designated for assignment by the Red Sox. There were no gasps. Familia allowed three runs in the 10th inning of what proved to be a 7-6 loss against the Yankees. He walked three of the first four batters he faced before Gleyber Torres lined a three-run double to the gap in right. That Familia was deemed the best choice for extra innings against their blood rivals illustrates how problematic the bullpen has been for the Red Sox. Familia was released by the Phillies on Aug. 6 after pitching terribly, signed with the Red Sox three days later, and was back in the majors on Aug. 13 after one appearance in Triple A. Advertisement He left the Sox having put 17 runners on base in 10 1/3 innings. Sox relievers have the second-most losses in the American League (30), the second-most blown saves (27), the second-highest ERA (4.50), and the most hit batters (43). Remaking the bullpen is one of the bold-faced items on Chaim Bloom’s list of offseason projects. Poor relief pitching has been an issue going back to April. The Sox have used 20 relievers this season, not counting four position players who were pressed into service for an inning each. Based on the current 40-man roster, here’s a look at who they have to sort through as the season comes to an end. Under contract for next season: (2) RHP Matt Barnes, RHP Garrett Whitlock. Barnes has $7.5 million coming to him next season. The 2021 All-Star struggled for the better part of a calendar year before regaining command of his fastball and curveball. He’s worth bringing back, especially given his recent results. The alternative is a trade but there’s likely more value in banking on what they have seen in recent weeks. Advertisement Whitlock has the talent and pitch mix of a starter and should be given every opportunity to be in the 2023 rotation. If he does stay in the bullpen, is a multi-inning role that requires two-plus days of between appearances the way to go? Under team control for next season (9): RHP Eduard Bazardo, RHP Ryan Brasier, LHP Darwinzon Hernandez, RHP Tyler Danish, RHP Zack Kelly, RHP Tanner Houck, RHP Kaleb Ort, RHP John Schreiber, LHP Josh Taylor. Houck was successful as the closer before a back injury and subsequent surgery ended his season. Schreiber was a product of good scouting and coaching, having become one of the best late-inning relievers in the game after being designated for assignment by the Tigers during spring training 2021. They’re in. Beyond that, everybody else in this group could be dropped off the roster or put in a position of having to make the team out of spring training. Hernandez, for all his ability, has been invisible much of this season because of injury and underperformance. Danish and Kelly have shown flashes of potential. It’s probably time to cut ties with Taylor, who made only eight appearances in 2020 and none this season. Brasier still has good velocity. But opposing hitters have an .828 OPS against him this season. Starters who could move into the bullpen (3): RHP Kutter Crawford, RHP Connor Seabold, RHP Josh Winckowski. If Chris Sale returns healthy and the Sox supplement their rotation with reliable starters, these rookies are bullpen candidates. Crawford’s 77 strikeouts in 77 1/3 innings suggests he’d be a good fit for a relief role. Advertisement Free agents after the season (1): LHP Matt Strahm. Strahm intended to market himself as a starter. As a reliever, he’s been devastating against lefties. He’s a good candidate to return if he wants to stay in the bullpen. Prospects on the horizon: LHP Shane Drohan, RHP Ryan Fernandez, LHP Chris Murphy, LHP Brandon Walter, RHP Jake Wallace, RHP Thaddeus Ward. These are players likely to get a look in spring training. Maybe somebody will make a good case. Peter Abraham can be reached at peter.abraham@globe.com. Follow him on Twitter @PeteAbe.

BEIJING (AP) — A strong typhoon made landfall on a group of Chinese islands on Wednesday as it headed toward the metropolis of Shanghai. Typhoon Muifa hit the Zhoushan archipelago, near the port city of Ningbo on the country’s east coast, at about 8:30 p.m., China’s National Meteorological Center said. It was forecast to weaken as it headed north across a bay but still be at typhoon strength when it reaches Shanghai later in the night. Heavy rain was already falling in the city of more than 20 million people. The Hong Kong Observatory classified it as a severe typhoon with maximum sustained winds of 155 kilometers (96 miles) per hour. All flights at Shanghai’s two main airports were canceled and authorities were evacuating people from construction sites and other risky areas, according to Chinese media reports. The typhoon had been expected to make landfall in the afternoon in Zhejiang province, but it shifted slightly eastward, keeping it at sea and putting it on track for a direct hit on Shanghai. All flights were canceled at Ningbo airport in Zhejiang and more than 11,000 fishing boats returned to port in the province, Chinese media said. The requirement of a negative coronavirus test within 72 hours to enter buildings and other public areas in much of China was suspended in Ningbo, except at airports, train stations and highway entrances. The storm’s latest track would take it through Jiangsu and Shandong provinces along China’s northeast coast after hitting Shanghai.

CALLED “AN ISIL LUV SANCTION HAVALOW HOTSPRE, SINKS RASIL EASILYS!” INSLEEE\nPALMEL, ALBERTDORB: ISREALL’IS “ALMUDDAMAYM, NANADENI” EEASY! ISLIAL CREEPLIC, BLUST AND TRUBULATION OVER ALABABBEL L Wow the last 17- days was craaaauugh, on a high- and intensty level so I haven´ve even got up my post for a good, calm, medel week -but still some fun here; first a week´worth of inspitefull new tunes, which got picked this past weekend up at this fantastic, warm festival over here ; Second the new FREE single of one amazi8ng Artiste; finally another Artist Brigham Young University has apologized to a fan it banned for allegedly shouting racist slurs at Black volleyball players visiting from Duke University, saying the school's investigation found no proof of racial heckling or slurs. The school had previously said it had not turned up any proof of the fan's guilt. Responding to BYU's latest announcement, Duke's top athletics official says she stands by her players. BYU says it has concluded its investigation Announcing the findings of its inquiry, BYU Athletics said last week that it went to great lengths to find moments in which the fan in question or anyone else might have yelled slurs during the match. The effort included a review of numerous records, it said, including match video from the school's broadcast outlet with the commentators' audio track removed, and video footage from security cameras. "We also reached out to more than 50 individuals who attended the event," from fans and BYU personnel to Duke's players and team staff, the department said. "From our extensive review, we have not found any evidence to corroborate the allegation that fans engaged in racial heckling or uttered racial slurs at the event," BYU Athletics said, adding that it would not tolerate such conduct. The fan who was banned isn't a student at BYU, although they had been in the court-level students' section that is near the visitors' bench in Smith Fieldhouse in Provo, Utah. "We have not found any evidence that that individual engaged in such an activity," the department said. "BYU sincerely apologizes to that fan for any hardship the ban has caused." Allegations of racist slurs quickly sparked a debate Some 5,500 people attended the high-profile matchup between BYU and Duke on Aug. 26, according to attendance statistics cited by BYU TV. The incident drew national attention, as Duke sophomore Rachel Richardson said that she and other Black athletes "were targeted and racially heckled throughout the entirety of the match." After BYU shared its conclusions, Duke University vice president athletics director Nina King issued a statement affirming her support for Richardson and her teammates and praising them for the way they represent their school. "We unequivocally stand with and champion them, especially when their character is called into question," King said. "Duke Athletics believes in respect, equality and inclusiveness, and we do not tolerate hate and bias." Outside of the circle of people with direct knowledge of the incident, discussion of the allegations quickly became politicized. People who support Richardson say she sparked a deeper look at racism in college athletics, while critics accuse her of fabricating the episode. In BYU Athletics' announcement of its findings, it stated, "Our fight is against racism, not against any individual or any institution." It reiterated its call for anyone who was at the event to come forward if they have proof that racist remarks were made. Copyright 2022 NPR. To see more, visit https://www.npr.org.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – If there’s a strike, the impact could be huge in New Mexico. Cities like Belen were built because of the railroad. The railroad is a big part of New Mexico’s growth and history. The railroad was running before we even officially became a state and the railroads here opened the door for cross-continental trade. It’s a huge part of the supply chain. “New Mexico, was open to the rest of the country in the world by the railroad. That’s how we became a much more important actor on the national and international stage,” says John Taylor. BNSF Railway is one of the largest freight operations in the state. The union representative says at least 150 trains move through the state each day and he says that’s a conservative estimate. Peak season is next month and during that time there will be 300 or more trains a day. BNSF is one of the companies involved in the dispute. There is also Union Pacific which operates in Southeastern New Mexico. Together they employ thousands of workers. Story continues below: - Albuquerque: Salary needed to pay rent in Albuquerque - Crime: Drugs sent to Cibola County Correctional Center in letter - Trending: Outrageous prices: Visitors say fair food is overpriced - KRQE En Español: Martes 13 de Septiembre 2022 If New Mexico workers were to strike, it could have a huge impact on the economy which is already struggling with shipping delays. The “Smart Union” is representing some of those New Mexico railroad workers during this dispute. They say railway companies are trying to produce the same amount of work with fewer employees which in turn is hurting their current workers. They’re asking for better sick time and paid time off, and a change that wouldn’t require them to be on call 24/7. “If we can’t have a decent quality of life, we don’t get the agreement that we want. I’m afraid that we may lose more employees, they’ll just go somewhere else,” says Donald Gallegos. Gallegos says his union represents 500 workers. He says because there are fewer workers, it affects how much time off workers can ask for. He says this results in overworked and exhausted employees who then want to quit. Even railways not involved in the dispute have begun to react to the potential strikes. Amtrak which is not involved has started to cancel trips to avoid possible disruptions. That includes the Southwest Chieftan Route. According to the Association of American Railroads, if rail shipments were to stop, the economic impact nationwide could result in at least a $2B loss per day.

By Diane Daily Batchelor Middle School administrators took quick action yesterday after receiving a report that a student who was riding to school on the bus had a gun. The 13-year-old was detained before he entered the school. He was arrested and, under Indiana state law, is facing a one-year expulsion from school. Staffers was alerted to the potentially dangerous situation by a tipster to the MCCSC Safe School Hotline. Enhanced security precautions were immediately put into place and the school remained open. Principal Eric Gilpin has sent an email to all Batchelor Middle school families letting them know about the incident. School administrators also called the families of the students who were riding the same bus yesterday morning. A Bloomington man has been arrested on child exploitation charges after a video was discovered involving a 14-year-old girl. According to a report from Fox 59, Joshua Vestal had been living with the girl’s mother since being released from prison earlier this year. The mother suspected something was wrong and went through Vestal’s phone. Several sexually explicit videos of Vestal and the young teen were discovered on the phone. Vestal has also been charged with sexual misconduct with a minor, and possession of child pornography. Another IU fraternity has received a cease and desist notice for alcohol related infractions. Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity received the disciplinary action for allegedly endangering others with alcohol. Earlier this month, Sigma Phi Epsilon was placed on suspension for similar reasons. The City of Bloomington Council for Community Accessibility is inviting area residents to review the City’s ADA Transition Plan and provide feedback. The City prepared its first ADA Transition Plan in 1990 and has updated it several times since then, the last time in 2014. The revised transition plan is available on the City of Bloomington website. Comments will be accepted through the end of September.

LONDON (AP) — The coffin of Queen Elizabeth II left Buckingham Palace for the last time Wednesday, borne on a horse-drawn carriage and saluted by cannons and the tolling of Big Ben, in a solemn procession through the flag-draped, crowd-lined streets of London to Westminster Hall. There, a steady stream of mourners paid their respects to Britain’s longest-reigning monarch. As the cortege left the palace, her son, King Charles III, and his siblings and sons marched behind the coffin, which was topped by a wreath of white roses and her crown resting on a purple velvet pillow. The military procession underscored Elizabeth’s seven decades as head of state as the national mourning process shifted to the grand boulevards and historic landmarks of the U.K. capital. At 900-year-old Westminster Hall, where the queen will lie in state until her funeral Monday, crowds shuffled past her coffin well into the night. They moved silently down the steps of the hall under a great stained glass window, then past the coffin that was covered with the Royal Standard and had been placed on a raised platform known as a catafalque by eight pallbearers. There were couples and parents with children, veterans with medals clinking on navy blue blazers, lawmakers and members of the House of Lords. Some wore black or suits and ties, others jeans and sneakers, and all had waited hours to stand in front of the coffin for a few moments Many bowed or curtseyed and some were in tears. Thousands who had waited for the procession for hours along The Mall outside the palace and other locations along the route held up phones and cameras, and some wiped away tears, as the casket rolled by. Applause broke out as it passed through Horse Guards Parade. Thousands more in nearby Hyde Park watched on large screens. The coffin was topped with the Imperial State Crown — encrusted with almost 3,000 diamonds — and a bouquet of flowers and plants, including pine from the Balmoral Estate, where Elizabeth died on Sept. 8 at the age of 96. Two officers and 32 troops from the 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards in red uniforms and bearskin hats walked on either side of the gun carriage. The 38-minute procession ended at Westminster Hall, where Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby led a service attended by Charles and other royals. “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you,” Welby read from the Book of John. After a short service, the captain of The Queen’s Company 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards, assisted by a senior sergeant, laid the royal standard of the regiment on the steps of the catafalque. Four officers from the Household Cavalry -– two from the Life Guards and two from the Blues Royals -– began the vigil, taking their places at each corner and bowing their heads. Thousands had queued up along the banks of the River Thames, waiting to enter the hall and pay their respects to the only monarch most Britons have ever known after her 70 years on the throne. Esther Ravenor, a Kenyan who lives in the U.K. said she was humbled as she watched the procession. “I love the queen, I love the royal family, and you know, I had to be here,” she said. “She is a true role model. She loved us all, all of us. Especially someone like me, a migrant woman coming to the U.K. 30 years ago, I was allowed to be here and to be free and safe, so I really honor her. She was a big part of my life.” Maj. Gen. Christopher Ghika, of the Household division, who organized the ceremonial aspects of the queen’s funeral, said it was “our last opportunity to do our duty for the queen, and it’s our first opportunity to do it for the king, and that makes us all very proud.” Troops involved in the procession had been preparing since the queen died. So had the horses of the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery. Sgt. Tom Jenks said the horses were specially trained, including how to handle weeping mourners, as well as flowers and flags being tossed in front of the procession. Heathrow Airport temporarily halted flights, saying it would “ensure silence over central London as the ceremonial procession moves from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall.” President Joe Biden spoke Wednesday with Charles to offer his condolences, the White House said. Biden recalled “the Queen’s kindness and hospitality” she hosted them and the first lady at Windsor Castle in June, the statement said. “He also conveyed the great admiration of the American people for the Queen, whose dignity and constancy deepened the enduring friendship and special relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom.” Crowds have lined the route of the queen’s coffin whenever it has been moved in its long journey from Scotland to London. On Tuesday night, thousands braved a typical London drizzle as the hearse, with interior lights illuminating the casket, drove slowly from an air base to Buckingham Palace. Earlier, in Edinburgh, about 33,000 people filed silently past her coffin in 24 hours at St. Giles’ Cathedral. The line of people snaking along the banks of the River Thames to enter Westminster Hall, the oldest building in Parliament, was nearly 3 miles long in the afternoon, according to a government tracker. The hall is where Guy Fawkes and Charles I were tried, where kings and queens hosted magnificent medieval banquets, and where ceremonial addresses were presented to Queen Elizabeth II during her silver, golden and diamond jubilees. Chris Bond, from Truro in southwest England, was among those waiting to see the queen’s coffin. He also attended the lying in state of the queen’s mother in 2002. “Obviously, it’s quite difficult queuing all day long, but when you walk through those doors into Westminster Hall, that marvelous, historic building, there was a great sense of hush and one was told you take as much time as you like, and it’s just amazing,” he said. “We know the queen was a good age and she served the country a long time, but we hoped this day would never come,” he added. Chris Imafidon, secured the sixth place in the queue. “I have 1,001 emotions when I see her,” he said. “I want to say, God, she was an angel, because she touched many good people and did so many good things.” —- Associated Press writer Sylvia Hui contributed. ___ Follow AP coverage of Queen at https://apnews.com/hub/queen-elizabeth-ii

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate ST. LOUIS (AP) — Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright and catcher Yadier Molina made their 325th career start together on Wednesday night, setting a major league record for most as a battery. The St. Louis duo eclipsed the regular-season mark of 324 by the Detroit Tigers pair of Mickey Lolich and Bill Freehan from 1963-1975. Wainwright and Molina received a standing ovation from the crowd at Busch Stadium as they walked from the bullpen to the dugout prior the game against Milwaukee. “A lot has taken place in that time span and that’s why I think this record is pretty darn cool,” St. Louis manager Oliver Marmol said before the game. "I don't see anyone coming close to ever reaching it again.” Towels with the No. 325 were given out to fans as they entered the ballpark. Wainwright threw a first-pitch strike to Christian Yelich to begin the game. Highlights from the career of both players were displayed on the scoreboard after the opening inning as the NL Central leaders hosted the Brewers. Wainwright and Molina made their first start together on April 6, 2007, in Houston. Wainwright recorded a 4-2 win, the first of his 212 victories with Molina behind the plate. The 40-year-old Molina has indicated he will retire at the end of this season. The 41-year-old Wainwright has yet to make a decision on his future. The next active pair behind Wainwright and Molina is the Chicago Cubs battery of Kyle Hendricks and Willson Contreras, who have 105 starts together. Wainwright has thrown 2,136 of his 2,548 innings (83.8 percent) to Molina. He and Molina have teamed up to record 1,812 strikeouts. Only six current major league players - Albert Pujols, Nelson Cruz, Miguel Cabrera, Zack Greinke, Rich Hill and Justin Verlander were active when Wainwright and Molina made their first start together. Wainwright and Molina are best friends off the field as well. Wainwright introduced Molina to NHL hockey. The pair attended several games together during the St. Louis Blues' run to the Stanley Cup championship in 2019. Wainwright and his family celebrated Thanksgiving at the Molina residence in Puerto Rico in November. ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports

Gophers’ Ibrahim quickly returns to form after Achilles tear Published 3:53 pm Wednesday, September 14, 2022 MINNEAPOLIS — At first, Mohamed Ibrahim believed his injury in last year’s opener was just a cramp in his calf muscle, a seemingly minor setback the Minnesota star could brush off like a would-be tackler. By the time Ibrahim reached the locker room that night, while the Gophers were pushing a potent Ohio State team in an eventual 45-31 defeat, he was informed his recovery would require much more than some stretching and hydration. The torn Achilles tendon in his left leg, vividly revealed for a national television audience in super-slow-motion replay, ended his 2021 season as it was just beginning. His career with the Gophers was widely assumed to be over, too. There were still several chapters left in this story, as it turned out, for the Baltimore native who was part of coach P.J. Fleck’s first recruiting class at Minnesota. The way Ibrahim approached the months that followed made quite an impact on his team, perhaps as much as the 262 yards and four touchdowns he has racked up over 44 carries in the first two games. Going into the game against Colorado on Saturday for the unbeaten Gophers, Ibrahim has 37 career rushing touchdowns — three short of all-time program leader Darrell Thompson. “Getting better every day as a person before I’m even thinking about being a football player, that’s what I’m most proud of,” said Ibrahim, whose decision to return for a sixth year was matched by quarterback Tanner Morgan, center John Michael Schmitz and wide receiver Chris Autman-Bell. Rolling around on a scooter to keep the weight off his surgically repaired leg, Ibrahim maintained his captaincy and came out for the opening coin toss as the Gophers endured several more injuries in their backfield but managed to finish strong with a 9-4 record. “He learned how to coach the running backs, not just be a running back, served and gave to his teammates and never made it about himself,” Fleck said. Ibrahim dived into Achilles tendon research and was heartened to learn that late NBA great Kobe Bryant once suffered that injury, his favorite basketball player serving as posthumous inspiration. Ibrahim leaned on his mother and his Muslim faith for encouragement and support. Then there was his friend, teammate and backup Trey Potts, who exactly one month later endured his own devastating injury — the nature of which the Gophers have never disclosed out of respect for his privacy. Potts was hurt badly enough to require a six-day hospital stay in Indiana after the game at Purdue, putting his football future in obvious jeopardy. “He had a hard decision to make, and when he made it, we were just together the whole time. We were just locked in. It was more than just football,” Ibrahim said. “Anything he ever needed, I always had him.” The Gophers have not made Potts available for interviews since then, but his decision to follow Ibrahim’s lead and return to the field this fall provided another source of inspiration for this mature team that Fleck has repeatedly praised for its connectedness. “It’s first and foremost a very important lesson for everybody to learn from those two guys about how to respond from two very adverse situations, how to come back,” Morgan said. During those “dog days” of preseason practices last month, the way Ibrahim felt physically told him he was all the way back — without restriction or hesitation. “At first I just wanted to walk again. I was on the scooter, and I just wanted to walk again,” Ibrahim said. “Then I had to run again. It was like little steps, steps, steps, and then you look down and you realize you’re on the top of Mount Everest.”

Leadership movement: Rebels are hoping to continue growth after a big roster turnaround Published 8:27 pm Wednesday, September 14, 2022 ADAMS – If you glance through the Section 1 nine man football standings and see Southland at the bottom of the standings with an 0-2 record, you’d better think twice before you count the Rebels out. The Rebels held halftime leads in losses to defending nine man champion LeRoy-Ostrander and Section 1 leader Lanesboro, but they weren’t able to hang on in either contest. For a team that is turning to a lot of new leaders this season, Southland head coach JJ Galle sees a big opportunity for improvement over these next few weeks. After what he dubbed a “nightmare” preseason scrimmage for the Rebels, Galle has seen senior quarterback Noah Bauer and senior running back and linebacker Isaac Felten mature quickly as they’ve driven their teammates to new heights. “We’ve come so far and they’re ready to fight. Now we’ve just got to finish a game. We have so many guys who haven’t had to be the guy on a team that have to step up,” Galle said. “This year I kind of challenged (Isaac) as being the top dog. He had to take the reins and just go with it. Right away, you could tell he was forcing himself out of his comfort zone and he’s been the cornerstone of our leadership team. Noah’s got a ton of energy and a great attitude and when he’s flying high, we can do anything, just with his emotion. He’s super excitable and it’s been awesome.” Bauer had a football in his hand since he was four years old as his father Mike Bauer, a former Austin Packer, had him in the backyard playing catch. Since then, Bauer has committed himself to getting better each day and playing with a fire that inspires all of his teammates to pick it up. Bauer is a bit undersized, but it doesn’t stop him from being a dual threat quarterback. “I’m giving it my all every day in practice and in games. I give my all for all of these guys, who are working hard,” Bauer said. “The line is working their butts off, so I’ve got to give them what I can, whether that means scrambling out or stepping up in the practice. I do whatever I can to help these guys, because they do a lot for me.” Felten, who also plays baseball and basketball for the Rebels, missed his sophomore season with a broken ankle so he knows what it’s like to be stuck on the sidelines during games. He’s now making his time count with his ability and his voice. “I’ve just got to use my speed, because there’s a lot of big guys who try to block and tackle me on offense and defense,” Felten said. “The older guys ahead of me were all really good and I just wanted to follow in their path and try to be part of the Southland tradition. We want to put some Ws on the board.” Southland will try to score its first win of the season when it plays at Kingsland at 7 p.m. Friday. No matter what happens, Bauer, who also plays basketball for the Rebels, will be making every second count. “Not everyone gets to play high school sports,” Bauer said. “I’m very thankful for the opportunity, I’m having fun doing it and it’s great to be out here with these guys every day.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — The athletic directors who lead the schools that play Division I college football at the highest level want the sport to continue be governed by the NCAA — if that governance can be streamlined. LEAD1, an association of Football Bowl Subdivision ADs, convened 105 of its 131 members Wednesday for a meeting that focused mostly on how best to govern major college football. There has been some momentum in the past year to seriously explore breaking FBS away from the NCAA and creating another structure to run the biggest revenue generator in college sports. For now, though, the preference is for reform within the current structure. “At the end of the day, it was very clear that the status quo is not acceptable,” said LEAD1 President and CEO Tom McMillen, the former Maryland basketball star and congressman. “And that there was a strong, very strong, preference for a model in the NCAA that is extremely streamlined and much less bureaucratic.” McMillen added: “And if that can’t be accomplished, move it to the outside.” McMillen did not detail what a more efficient governing model for major college football would entail. He said LEAD1 planned to gather ideas cultivated at Wednesday’s meeting and share them with NCAA officials in a letter. “We’re a facilitator. We’re not the decision-maker,” McMillen said. “We recommend. That’s really the extent of what we can do.” The NCAA is in the midst of what college sports leaders hope will be an overhaul of the way Division I is structured and governed. The Division I Transformation Committee was formed last year and has been meeting regularly for months. It is led by Southeastern Conference Commissioner Greg Sankey and Ohio athletic director Julie Cromer, who is also a member of LEAD1. “Certainly the debate today has been helpful,” Cromer said. “I think we’ll use this feedback in our transformation committee work.” The Transformation Committee has already handed down proposals related to transfer rules and how NCAA enforcement operates as part of phase one of its work. A set of those proposals were approved last month. Phase two is in progress, with membership requirements for schools, student-athlete benefits, access to championship events and revenue distribution at the core of the discussions. “I think there exists some frustration with the lack of responsibility and the ability to be nimble and specific to our needs in football, within the current decision-making structure,” Cromer said of the FBS ADs. As the NCAA’s role in governance is deemphasized, and more power is handed down to conferences and schools, it seemed a perfect time for a re-assessment of how major college football operates to many athletic directors. The NCAA has limited involvement over FBS compared to the rest of Division I sports. The conferences run the College Football Playoff and share the hundreds of millions of dollars of revenue it generates with no NCAA involvement. Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith has suggested the College Football Playoff could become the governing body for major college football. “Nothing about its current constitution would support that,” Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbick told The Associated Press last month. “So you can change it to play that role. But it’s not set up to do it now.” One of the concerns about moving away from the NCAA would be the need to create a new, similar organization. McMillen said the NCAA spends about $65 million per year on administrative and insurance costs. “That does not include any kind of extraordinary costs or legal,” McMillen said. ”As you know, the NCAA is the legal shield. They take a lot of the front load.” The Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics, an independent group of former and current college administrators that advocates for an emphasis on education in college sports, proposed in 2020 separating FBS from the rest of NCAA sports. Sankey has said he is adamantly against the Knight Commission’s proposal, in large part because he doesn’t like the idea of compartmentalizing one sport within an athletic department. Sankey attended the LEAD1 meeting to give the ADs an update on the Transformation Committee’s work. He said he also shared with the ADs his skepticism for the effectiveness of an FBS breakaway from the NCAA. He said he understands the desire for change. “And given the distinctions around football, there are those who view that as a relevant point of change,” Sankey said. “But then the why, the outcomes, those have to be much further developed.” ___ Follow Ralph D.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California will impose first-of-its-kind requirements on social media companies to publish their policies for removing disturbing content including hate speech, with details on how and when they remove that content, under a bill signed into law by Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom. “California will not stand by as social media is weaponized to spread hate and disinformation that threaten our communities and foundational values as a country,” Newsom said in a statement Tuesday announcing the signing. A coalition of the bill’s opponents have said companies already have to make their content moderation policies public, and objected to the bill’s requirement that these companies to disclose sensitive information to the state attorney general. Opponents include the California Chamber of Commerce, Computer and Communications Industry Association, Consumer Technology Association, Internet Coalition, Netchoice and TechNet. But the bill had bipartisan support from lawmakers despite some concerns, and advanced after stalling last year over free speech issues. The bill’s author, Democratic Assemblyman Jesse Gabriel, said the measure includes the world’s most stringent transparency requirements for companies like Facebook and Instagram to disclose in detail how they remove content including hate speech, disinformation, extremism, harassment, and foreign political interference. “Social media has created incredible opportunities, but also real and proximate threats to our kids, to vulnerable communities, and to American democracy as we know it,” Gabriel said in a statement. He said the law will “pull back the curtain” on how these companies address problem content. The bill was sought by the Anti-Defamation League and other groups, which said the measure is key to combatting online hate speech.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea’s privacy watchdog has fined Google and Meta a combined 100 billion won ($72 million) for tracking consumers’ online behavior without their consent and using their data for targeted advertisements. South Korea’s Personal Information and Protection Commission said it fined Google 69.2 billion won ($50 million) and Meta 30.8 billion won ($22 million) after a meeting where officials agreed that the companies’ business practices might cause “serious” privacy infringements. The fines were the biggest ever penalties imposed by South Korea for privacy law violations, the commission said in a press release. Both companies refuted the commission’s findings and Meta indicated it could challenge its fine in court. The fines can be appealed through administrative lawsuits, which must be filed within 90 days after the companies are formally notified of the commission’s decision. According to the commission, Google and Meta, which operates Facebook and Instagram, didn’t clearly inform users or obtain their consent as they collected information about their online activities when they used other websites or services outside their own platforms. Such data was used to analyze their interests and create individually customized advertisements, the commission said. The commission ordered the companies to provide an “easy and clear” process of consent giving people more control over whether to share information about what they do online. “Google did not clearly inform consumers that it would collect and use their behavioral information about their use of other companies’ (services) when they signed up,” the commission said. “Meta did not present the content of consent in way that could be easily seen by consumers when they signed up, and just included the content in their full data policy statement. It did not specifically inform consumers of the legally required notifications and did not obtain their consent.” The commission said the companies’ practices seriously threatened privacy rights as more than 82% of South Koreans using Google and more than 98% using Meta have let the companies track their online activities. Google, a search and email giant that also operates the YouTube video platform, disagreed with the commission’s findings. It said in a statement that it has always demonstrated a commitment to “making ongoing updates that give users control and transparency.” The company said it will review the commission’s findings once it receives the fully written decision. Meta said it will consider “all options,” including seeking a court ruling. “We are confident that we work with our clients in a legally compliant way that meets the processes required by local regulations,” Meta said in an emailed statement.

By KAREEM CHEHAYEB BEIRUT (AP) — A woman accompanied by activists and brandishing what she said was a toy pistol broke into a Beirut bank branch on Wednesday, taking $13,000 from her trapped savings. Sali Hafez told the local Al-Jadeed TV that she needed the money to fund her sister’s cancer treatment. She said she had repeatedly visited the bank to ask for her money and was told she could only receive $200 a month in Lebanese pounds. Hafez said the toy pistol belonged to her nephew. “I had begged the branch manager before for my money, and I told him my sister was dying, didn’t have much time left,” she said in the interview. “I reached a point where I had nothing else to lose.” Lebanon’s cash-strapped banks have imposed strict limits on withdrawals of foreign currency since 2019, tying up the savings of millions of people. About three-quarters of the population has slipped into poverty as the tiny Mediterranean country’s economy continues to spiral. Hafez and activists from a group called Depositors’ Outcry entered the BLOM Bank branch and stormed into the manager’s office. They forced bank employees to hand over $12,000 and the equivalent of about $1,000 in Lebanese pounds. Hafez said she had a total of $20,000 in savings trapped in that bank. She said she had already sold many of her personal belongings and had considered selling her kidney to fund her 23 year-old sister’s cancer treatment. Nadine Nakhal, a bank customer, said the intruders “doused gasoline everywhere inside, and took out a lighter and threatened to light it.” She said the woman with the pistol threatened to shoot the manager if she did not receive her money. Hafez said in a live-streamed video she posted on her Facebook account that she did not intend to do harm. “I did not break into the bank to kill anyone or set the place on fire,” she said. “I am here to get my rights.” Hafez was celebrated as a hero across social media in Lebanon, as many in the small crisis-hit country struggle to make ends meet and retrieve their savings. She encouraged others to take similar action to reclaim their savings. Some of the activists entered the bank with Hafez, while others staged a protest at the entrance. Hafez eventually left with cash in a plastic bag, witnesses said. Security forces standing outside arrested several of the activists, including a man carrying what looked like a handgun. It was not immediately clear if this was also a toy gun. Meanwhile, Alaa Khorchid who heads the Depositors’ Outcry protest group said that a man communicating and coordinating with the group broke into a bank in the mountainous town of Aley to retrieve his trapped savings. Local media reported that the man entered the BankMed branch alone with a shotgun without any shells loaded, but was unable to retrieve his savings before he was apprehended. Both incidents occurred weeks after a food delivery driver broke into another bank branch in Beirut and held 10 people hostage for seven hours, demanding tens of thousands of dollars in his trapped savings. Most hailed him as a hero. “There is no government, no economic recovery plan, and little reserves left,” Khorchid told the AP, adding that people have no choice but to “take matters into their own hands”. “These people worked for decades, but not for the rulers to build palaces while they can’t afford a bottle of medicine.” On Wednesday night, activists closed a major road in Beirut outside a police barracks holding two activists who stormed the bank earlier in the day with Hafez. The protesters demanded the immediate release of the two men. Lebanon has scrambled for over two years to implement key reforms in its decimated banking sector and economy. It has so far failed to reach an agreement with the International Monetary Fund on a recovery program that would unlock billions of dollars in international loan and aid to make the country viable again. Its government has struggled to function in a caretaker capacity since May, and its recently elected Parliament remains deeply divided. In the meantime, millions are struggling to cope with rampant power outages and soaring inflation. “We need to put a stop to everything that is happening to us in this country,” Nakhal said. “Everyone’s money is stuck in the banks, and in this case, it’s someone who is sick. We need to find a solution.”

Two horses test positive for mosquito-borne illness in Tampa TAMPA, Fla. - Another mosquito-borne illness has been detected in Tampa, an this time in two horses living in Northwest Hillsborough County. They tested positive for eastern equine encephalitis, which is spread by the bite of an infected mosquito. No cases have been detected in humans, but it has prompted more response efforts, and calls for preventative measures. The department of health is working closely with Hillsborough Mosquito Management, which set traps in the impacted area, so they can determine which species is carrying the virus. RELATED: Simple ways to evict mosquitoes from your property Hillsborough Mosquito Management has an entire team dedicated to research and prevention efforts, including Project Coordinator Alexa Patrizio. She said there are about 40 species in Hillsborough County. "Each one likes a different habitat, can carry different diseases, likes to bite a different animal," Patrizio said. "So, it's just really important for all of that to come together and for us to be able to try to mitigate the mosquito population." MORE: Mosquito management in Hillsborough County uses helicopters and bacteria The team test chickens at coops across the county for disease, spray certain areas and breed mosquito fish that eat larva. Despite their efforts, the first one who can prevent mosquitoes from reproducing near your home is you. "Believe it or not, they can lay their eggs in something as small as a bottle cap," said Ryan Terry with the Florida Department of Health Hillsborough. "So it's very important to drain the water around your house. If you drain and cover items that retain water after it rains, then you will make a significant impact."

Florida man attempts to set 2 homes on fire in the same neighborhood, police say ORLANDO, Fla. - Homeowners in Orlando are demanding further action after a man set fire to their houses while they were still inside. The incident happened around 6:45 a.m. Tuesday near Terrace Blvd. and Weber St. in Orlando. Surveillance camera captured a man walking up and holding up what appeared to be a lighter, setting flame to the door in multiple spots. The fire began spreading, but the homeowner at the home, Greg Cordner, said a neighbor noticed what was happening and put the fire out. Another neighbor’s home was also victimized. Cordner says things could have been much worse, but a dog woke him and his wife up before they were hurt. The dog is deaf and blind, but still sensed the danger and jumped into action. Cordner and his neighbor gave Orlando Police a description of the accused arsonist, as well as the surveillance video that captured the crime. An affidavit detailed that police got another call for help later that same day when the caller noticed a man they thought was suspicious. It turned out to be the suspected arsonist who was caught on video, so police took him into custody. They arrested 48-year-old Lloyd Roberts and charged him with two counts of arson to an occupied dwelling and two counts of criminal mischief. He was given a $12,000 bond. The fire caused about $1,000 of damage to each door, on top of the headache of getting things fixed and the lingering fears for the homeowners’ safety. The Cordner family said Roberts also assaulted a woman after setting their doors on fire, though that incident was not caught on camera and Roberts is not currently charged with that crime. This story will be updated.

Missing Kaylee Jones: No 'substantiated' tips 3 months after Georgia teen's disappearance Missing Georgia teenager Kaylee Jones disappeared from home three months ago on June 14. Georgia teen Kaylee Jones disappeared three months ago from her Georgia home and hasn't been seen since. The now-17-year-old was 16 when her parents believe she left her family's Carrollton home by climbing out of her second-story bedroom window on June 14 without her computer or phone, which had recently been confiscated after her parents said they found out she had been in communication with strangers online. "There have been numerous tips called/emailed in to Carroll County Sheriff's Office but none have been substantiated," the Carroll County Sheriff's Office said in a Wednesday Facebook post. "The Carroll County Sheriff’s Office has since day one been committed to locating Kaylee and have a team of dedicated Investigators working this case and tirelessly following every lead and working in conjunction with many law enforcement agencies throughout the state and the country. Authorities are asking anyone who sees Kaylee to call 911 immediately. The Carroll County Sheriff's Office is also encouraging anyone with "a tip on Kaylee, no matter how small you may think it is," to reach out to law enforcement. "Kaylee's family is very worried about her and want her returned home safe," the agency continued. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation, FBI, the Secret Service, the U.S. Marshal Service and local law enforcement are now assisting in the search for the missing 17-year-old girl, who has special needs and has now gone two months without her prescribed medication. Jones' parents previously explained to Fox News Digital that two days prior to their daughter's disappearance, they confiscated her phone in an effort to discipline her, at which point the 16-year-old turned to her laptop and began communicating with strangers on chatrooms like Omegle — a website that allows users to anonymously send direct messages or video-chat with one another. Jones shared personal information, including her family's address, with some "guys" she was speaking to online, her parents said. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Jones is described as 5 ft. 8 in. tall, weighing 135 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. Her mother believes she may have a blue book bag "with a horse on the front." She may be wearing black tennis shoes or converse sneakers, according to authorities. Her family recently moved to Georgia from Brooksville, Florida, where they still have family and friends. She also may be going by her birth name, Jillian. Authorities are asking anyone with information about Jones to contact Investigator Courtney Short with Carroll County Sheriff's Office at 770-830-5916 or email at cshort@carrollsheriff.com. Anonymous tipsters can also call 770-830-5942.

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said safety Jamal Adams is still deciding on the best options to repair an injury to his quadriceps tendon suffered in the season opener against Denver. Carroll said Wednesday Adams wasn’t being placed on injured reserve and was seeking additional opinions after getting hurt in the first quarter of Monday’s win. “He’s getting all of the information he can right now to make sure that he knows what’s next from our guys and other people as well,” Carroll said. “We have the time to do it, so he’s going to take the time to do it right and get his mind really clear on what is the next step.” Adams was injured when he blitzed Denver quarterback Russell Wilson late in the first quarter of Seattle’s 17-16 victory. Adams limped off the field and was eventually taken to the locker room on a cart. Injuries have defined Adams’ three seasons with the Seahawks. He missed four games in 2020 and played 12 games last year, when he ultimately needed season-ending shoulder surgery. There is a chance his latest injury could sideline him the rest of this season. “It means so much to him. The frustration of having to go through not being healthy just jumped at him again. He’s questioning and wondering because he wants to be out here so much,” Carroll said. “He wants to be with the guys and doing what we do in every way you could possibly want to do that. It’s really frustrating for him.” Seattle is expected to use Josh Jones and Ryan Neal in the role that Adams was expected to play. Neal has been Adams’ primary backup and filled in the previous two seasons when Adams was injured. Jones is in his sixth season and started 13 games for Jacksonville in 2020. “You saw him in the rotations already, he was already part of the plan. Now, he just takes a bigger step forward,” Carroll said. NOTES: Rookie running back Ken Walker III will make his debut this week after undergoing hernia surgery last month. Walker was a full participant in practice Wednesday. Starting left guard Damien Lewis was also a full participant after sitting out the opener while recovering from an ankle injury. ___ More AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl and https://twitter.com/AP_NFL

A redesigned Honda Pilot is coming for 2023 and we’ll see the covers come off late this year. On Wednesday, Honda teased that its new mid-size SUV will be the next recipient of the off-road-inspired Trailsport treatment, again. Offered for the first time on the 2022 Passport, the Trailsport treatment adds unique fascia designs, wheel patterns, and interior accents. It doesn’t add any serious off-road mods, though the situation may change with the 2023 Pilot. Honda described the vehicle as its “most rugged and capable” SUV yet. The new Pilot is expected to be a twin under the skin with the redesigned 2022 Acura MDX. This would mean a platform more rigid than the one it replaces, translating into improved road manners. The SUV is expected to offer seating for up to eight and pack a V-6 engine as standard. Prototypes show a more rugged design than the current Pilot whose soft lines are more minivan than SUV. The reveal of the new Pilot will cap off a busy year for Honda’s SUV engineers. The automaker already has launched new versions of the subcompact HR-V and compact CR-V. Honda’s SUV onslaught isn’t about to slow, though. In addition to the new Pilot, there will be the electric Prologue making a debut in 2023.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Abbott Elementary” creator-star Quinta Brunson said she’d rather focus on the show than Jimmy Kimmel’s comedy bit that overshadowed her Emmy acceptance speech and prompted criticism. But Sheryl Lee Ralph, who received her own Emm y for the sitcom with a rousing song and speech, didn’t duck the matter during a Q&A panel discussion Wednesday with TV critics. “I was like, ‘Oh, the disrespect, Jimmy,'” Ralph recalled. She sarcastically referred to it as “lovely that he was lying on the floor during her wonderful acceptance speech. “I told him too, to his face, and he understood,” said Ralph, who was honored at Monday’s ceremony as best supporting comedy actress for her role in the warm-hearted comedy set in a Philadelphia school. Brunson won the best comedy series writing Emmy and found herself sharing the Emmy stage with Kimmel — who was flat on his back, dragged by fellow presenter Will Arnett because the late-night host had supposedly had too many “skinny Margaritas.” Kimmel gave Brunson a thumbs-up for her award but didn’t budge, a decision that was blasted online as rude and thoughtless by some and cited as an example of white-male arrogance by others. Brunson was scheduled to appear later Wednesday as a guest on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Both share a network home on ABC. “I’m anticipating that we are going to have a good old-fashioned time,” Brunson said Wednesday. “I have talked with Jimmy since, and I think no matter what it’s important” to showcase that “Abbott Elementary” returns Sept. 21 for season two. Backstage Monday, Brunson said the bit didn’t bother her “that much” and noted that Kimmel has been a booster of her and “Abbott Elementary.” If she decides she’s mad at him, a smiling Brunson added, she might “punch him in the face” during her appearance on his show.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Rookie Gunnar Henderson drove in four runs, Jorge Mateo homered and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Washington Nationals 6-2 on Wednesday night to complete a two-game sweep. Baltimore pulled within four games of Tampa Bay for the third and final AL wild card. The Orioles begin a three-game series Friday at wild-card leader Toronto — and trail the Blue Jays by 5 1/2 games. Riley Adams and Luke Voit homered for Washington, which is a majors-worst 49-94 and has lost five in a row and seven of eight. The Nationals had only four hits and were 0 for 5 with runners in scoring position. The Orioles took control with a four-run seventh against Mason Thompson (1-1). After back-to-back singles, Henderson laced an opposite-field hit down the line. César Hernández, playing left for just the fourth time in his 10-year career, appeared to anticipate the ball caroming off a wall in foul territory, only for it to zip into the corner. Hernández then lost his grip on the ball when he tried to throw it back to the infield, allowing Henderson to charge home. Mateo launched the next pitch into the left field seats to make it 5-2. Henderson added an RBI double in the eighth. The infielder is hitting .320 with nine RBIs in 14 games since his Aug. 31 callup from Triple-A Norfolk. Austin Voth (5-2), who pitched parts of five seasons for Washington before he was designated for assignment May 31, worked a scoreless sixth in his first appearance against the Nationals. Baltimore’s Tyler Wells, making his second start since returning from an injured list stint of more than a month, struck out four in four innings and retired 12 of the 14 batters he faced. The two he didn’t set down smacked two-out home runs — Adams in the third and Voit in the fourth. The Orioles took a 1-0 lead in the second on Henderson’s RBI grounder. Washington starter Patrick Corbin allowed one run in six innings while striking out four. The left-hander leads the majors in losses with 18, but is 2-2 with a 3.41 ERA in six starts since Washington skipped his turn in the rotation last month. TRAINER’S ROOM Orioles: 2B Rougned Odor (bruised right hand) was out of the lineup against the left-handed Corbin, but was available. Odor has not played since he was hit by a pitch Sunday. Nationals: DH Nelson Cruz (eye inflammation) was out of the lineup a day after leaving with blurry vision. … Manager Dave Martinez said RHP Cade Cavalli’s shoulder inflammation is gone. Cavalli is not expected to pitch in a game again this year. “If everything goes well, we’ll try to get him on the mound (before the end of the season), whether that’s a bullpen or if he feels really good, maybe a sim game,” Martinez said. UP NEXT Orioles: Baltimore has not announced its rotation plans for Friday’s game at Toronto. Nationals: After Thursday’s off day, RHP Josiah Gray (7-9, 5.06 ERA) will start Friday against Miami. Gray has not pitched since yielding four runs in 3 1/3 innings Thursday at St. Louis. ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports

– Terlivaz is the first and only FDA-approved treatment for adults with HRS involving rapid reduction in kidney function1 – DUBLIN, Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Mallinckrodt plc (OTCMKTS: MNKPF), a global specialty pharmaceutical company, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Terlivaz® (terlipressin) for injection. Terlivaz is the first and only FDA-approved product indicated to improve kidney function in adults with hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) with rapid reduction in kidney function,1 an acute and life-threatening condition requiring hospitalization.2 Please see Limitation of Use and Important Safety Information, including Boxed Warning, below. Siggi Olafsson, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "The FDA approval of Terlivaz is a significant milestone for Mallinckrodt as it brings an important treatment option to these critically ill patients requiring hospitalization and to U.S. physicians who historically have had limited treatment interventions.3 We're excited to bring Terlivaz to U.S. patients and physicians and plan to launch the product in the coming weeks. This approval reflects Mallinckrodt's continued commitment to underserved patients and their caregivers through our demonstrated expertise and dedication to developing therapeutics for critical conditions." Terlipressin is recommended by the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) guidance4 and the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) guidelines.*,5 Terlipressin is one of the most studied pharmacological agents in HRS with more than 70 published manuscripts and presented abstracts on clinical data to date.6 It has been approved outside the U.S. for more than 30 years and is available on five continents for its indications in the countries where it is approved.7,8 The FDA approval was based, in part, on results from the Phase 3 CONFIRM trial, the largest-ever prospective study (n=300) conducted to assess the safety and efficacy of terlipressin in patients with HRS type 1 (HRS-1) in the U.S. and Canada. The CONFIRM trial met its primary endpoint of Verified HRS Reversal, defined as renal function improvement, avoidance of dialysis and short-term survival (p=0.012).1 To achieve Verified HRS Reversal, patients had to have two consecutive serum creatinine (SCr) values of ≤1.5 mg/dL, at least two hours apart by day 14 or hospital discharge. To be included in the primary efficacy endpoint analysis, patients had to be alive and without intervening renal replacement therapy (e.g., dialysis) at least 10 days after achieving Verified HRS Reversal.1 Initial results were presented in a late-breaking session at The Liver Meeting® 2019, the annual meeting of AASLD. Results were also published in the New England Journal of Medicine in March of 2021. The CONFIRM trial was completed prior to the updated diagnostic criteria and terminology published in the 2021 AASLD guidance on hepatorenal syndrome. Steven Romano, M.D., Executive Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer at Mallinckrodt said, "Diagnosing and treating HRS can be challenging, and every minute counts when managing patients who have it. Terlivaz gives U.S. physicians the first FDA-approved option for treating HRS patients with rapid reduction in kidney function1 that may help them improve kidney function and lessen the associated need for renal replacement therapy, such as dialysis." The most commonly observed adverse reactions in at least 4 percent of patients treated with Terlivaz compared to placebo were abdominal pain reported in 19.5 percent (n=39) of patients (vs. 6.1%; n=6), nausea reported in 16 percent (n=32) of patients (vs. 10.1%; n=10), respiratory failure reported in 15.5 percent (n=31) of patients (vs. 7.1%; n=7) diarrhea reported in 13 percent (n=26) of patients (vs. 7.1%; n=7) and dyspnea reported in 12.5 percent (n=25) of patients (vs. 5.1%; n=5).1 Terlivaz is expected to be available in the U.S. in the coming weeks. * Note, Terlivaz was not evaluated in comparison to other treatment options in a head-to-head clinical study. About Hepatorenal Syndrome (HRS) Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) involving rapid reduction in kidney function1 is an acute and life-threatening condition that occurs in people with advanced liver disease.2 HRS is classified into two distinct types – a rapidly progressive type that leads to acute renal failure where patients are typically hospitalized for their care and a more chronic type that progresses over weeks to months.2 HRS involving rapid reduction in kidney function1 is estimated to affect between 30,000 and 40,000 Americans annually.9,10 If left untreated, HRS with rapid reduction in kidney function1 has a median survival time of approximately two weeks and greater than 80 percent mortality within three months.11 INDICATION AND LIMITATION OF USE TERLIVAZ is indicated to improve kidney function in adults with hepatorenal syndrome with rapid reduction in kidney function. · Patients with a serum creatinine >5 mg/dL are unlikely to experience benefit. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING: SERIOUS OR FATAL RESPIRATORY FAILURE - TERLIVAZ may cause serious or fatal respiratory failure. Patients with volume overload or with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) Grade 3 are at increased risk. Assess oxygenation saturation (e.g., SpO2) before initiating TERLIVAZ. - Do not initiate TERLIVAZ in patients experiencing hypoxia (e.g., SpO2 <90%) until oxygenation levels improve. Monitor patients for hypoxia using continuous pulse oximetry during treatment and discontinue TERLIVAZ if SpO2 decreases below 90%. Contraindications TERLIVAZ is contraindicated: - In patients experiencing hypoxia or worsening respiratory symptoms. - In patients with ongoing coronary, peripheral, or mesenteric ischemia. Warnings and Precautions - Serious or Fatal Respiratory Failure: Obtain baseline oxygen saturation and do not initiate TERLIVAZ in hypoxic patients. Monitor patients for changes in respiratory status using continuous pulse oximetry and regular clinical assessments. Discontinue TERLIVAZ in patients experiencing hypoxia or increased respiratory symptoms. Manage intravascular volume overload by reducing or discontinuing the administration of albumin and/or other fluids and through judicious use of diuretics. Temporarily interrupt, reduce, or discontinue TERLIVAZ treatment until patient volume status improves. Avoid use in patients with ACLF Grade 3 because they are at significant risk for respiratory failure. - Ineligibility for Liver Transplant: TERLIVAZ-related adverse reactions (respiratory failure, ischemia) may make a patient ineligible for liver transplantation, if listed. For patients with high prioritization for liver transplantation (e.g., MELD ≥35), the benefits of TERLIVAZ may not outweigh its risks. - Ischemic Events: TERLIVAZ may cause cardiac, cerebrovascular, peripheral, or mesenteric ischemia. Avoid use of TERLIVAZ in patients with a history of severe cardiovascular conditions or cerebrovascular or ischemic disease. Discontinue TERLIVAZ in patients who experience signs or symptoms suggestive of ischemic adverse reactions. - Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: TERLIVAZ may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. If TERLIVAZ is used during pregnancy, the patient should be informed of the potential risk to the fetus. Adverse Reactions - The most common adverse reactions (≥10%) include abdominal pain, nausea, respiratory failure, diarrhea, and dyspnea.

California launches free 24/7 online tutoring service LOS ANGELES, Calif. (KION-TV)- If your children, or even if you, could use extra homework help, California launched a new program to assist with just that. Governor Gavin Newsom announced a new initiative offering free online tutoring 24/7 for Californians as part of $254 million in grants to public libraries statewide. Real-time homework help with a one-on-one tutor for K-12 students is now available via HelpNow. This service is also available in the 1,130 local public libraries around the state. Services are available by laptop, tablet, or phone at any time of day or night. There's no age limit for the program either. Adult learners can get writing assistance, citizenship resources, and other assistance. "With historic investments to give the youngest Californians a strong start in life, enrich our schools and expand supports like tutoring, we're building on our commitment to creating more opportunities for every child in our state to thrive, "said Governor Newsom. "Public libraries are the hearts of communities across the state and our hubs of learning, discovery, and often – safety. While states across the nation ban books, California is awarding $254 million in grants for our historic public libraries – an investment to make books more accessible by repairing and modernizing libraries throughout the state." The 234 projects in this initial round of funding under the Building Forward Library Improvement Grant Program range from $14,300 to $10 million and include efforts to make libraries safer and more accessible, including their ability to be cooling centers for underserved communities. "Not every family can afford a private tutor. Now through the CA State Library Brainfuse HelpNow program, every Californian can get free online tutoring. HelpNow tutors will assist all learners from Kindergartners on up build thinking and problem-solving skills. Tutors work with students through their homework challenges, and guide them to the right solution, without giving the answer," said Jack Rothstein, Brainfuse Library Services Director.

Cards’ Wainwright, Molina make record 325th start as battery By STEVE OVERBEY Associated Press ST. LOUIS (AP) — St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright and catcher Yadier Molina have made their 325th career start together, setting a major league record for most as a battery. The St. Louis duo eclipsed the regular-season mark of 324 by the Detroit Tigers pair of Mickey Lolich and Bill Freehan from 1963-1975. Wainwright and Molina received a standing ovation from the crowd at Busch Stadium as they walked from the bullpen to the dugout prior the game against Milwaukee. Towels with the No. 325 were given out to fans as they entered the ballpark. Wainwright threw a first-pitch strike to Christian Yelich to begin the game. Highlights from the career of both players were displayed on the scoreboard after the opening inning. Wainwright and Molina made their first start together in 2007.

NEW YORK (AP) — More than 5,500 minor league baseball players formed a union on Wednesday, completing a lightning-fast organization campaign that launched just 17 days earlier in an effort to boost annual salaries as low as $10,400. Martin Scheinman, the sport’s independent arbitrator, notified Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association that a majority of the 5,567 players in the minor league bargaining unit had signed union authorization cards since the drive started Aug. 28. He did not provide the sides a specific number. “This historic achievement required the right group of players at the right moment to succeed,” union head Tony Clark said in a statement. “Minor leaguers have courageously seized that moment, and we look forward to improving their terms and conditions of employment through the process of good faith collective bargaining.” MLB had agreed Saturday that it would voluntarily accept a union if there was majority support and would not force players to petition the National Labor Relations Board to hold a representation election. “Major League Baseball has a long history of bargaining in good faith with unions, including those representing minor and major league umpires, and major league players,” the league said in a statement. “Based on the authorization cards gathered, MLB has voluntarily and promptly recognized the MLBPA as the representatives of minor league players. We are hopeful that a timely and fair collective bargaining agreement will be reached.” Minor leaguers form a separate bargaining unit within the MLBPA, which negotiated its first collective bargaining agreement for big leaguers in 1968 but had until now been uninterested in representing players with minor league deals. Approximately 1,200 major leaguers are covered by the big league agreement, and their average salary has risen from $19,000 in 1967 to more than $4 million this year. Minor leaguers are expected to choose player representatives who will lead them in bargaining during the offseason. Bruce Meyer, who headed negotiations last winter for a major league agreement, will lead the minor league negotiations, and Deputy Commissioner Dan Halem will be the point man for management. Meyer was promoted to deputy executive director in July. Harry Marino, who has served as head of Advocates for Minor Leaguers since April 2021, was hired as an MLBPA assistant general counsel. “For decades, conventional wisdom said it was impossible to unionize the minor leagues,” Marino said in a statement. “Over the past few years, a group of audacious and committed folks came together to prove that wrong.” MLB raised weekly minimum salaries for minor leaguers in 2021 to $400 at rookie and short-season levels, $500 at Class A, $600 at Double-A and $700 at Triple-A. For players with major league contracts on option to the minors, the minimum is $57,200 per season for a first big league contract and $114,100 for later big league contracts. In addition, MLB this year began requiring teams to provide housing for most minor leaguers. “In a multibillion-dollar industry, there is no excuse to pay these players below the poverty line,“ AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler said in a statement. “By joining together to use their collective voice at the bargaining table, the minor leaguers will be able to advocate for a union contract that will ensure a future with the good pay and benefits they deserve.” Many amateurs receive large initial signing bonuses: 67 of the top 68 draft picks this year agreed to $1 million or more, and the top 97 picks who signed got more than $690,000 each. The MLBPA also governs agents for major leaguers, requiring certification and establishing regulations that include prohibitions on payments, gifts and loans to clients. Agents negotiating minor league contracts have been unregulated. MLB and the big league union have had a contentious relationship that led to nine work stoppages, including a 99-day lockout last winter that delayed the start of this season. Minor league union dues are likely to be a fraction of big league dues: $85 per day this year over the 182-day season. The union does not represent players in the Dominican Summer League. Next year’s minor league schedule opens March 31 at Triple-A and April 6 at lower levels, when the minor leaguers’ leverage may be greatest. A strike could lead each team to keep its dozen or so optioned players at training complexes playing makeshift games. The big league union has represented optioned players since 1981. MLB and lawyers for minor leaguers agreed this year to a $185 million settlement of an eight-year-old federal lawsuit alleging violations of minimum wage laws, a deal that may be finalized next year. An early estimate is that perhaps 23,000 players could share roughly $120 million with an average payment of $5,000 to $5,500, and their lawyers will split $55.5 million.

West Deptford coach Tim McAndrew jokes that Mason Quinton was the most skilled manager in South Jersey last season, but he loves having him on the playing field so much more. Quinton, making his varsity debut this season, is off to a dynamic start. The speedy junior scored one goal and assisted on another and fellow junior Chase Struzynski scored twice – the first goals of his varsity career - to lift the Eagles to a 3-0 win over Haddon Heights in their home opener in a Colonial Conference Liberty Division game on Wednesday. After back-to-back one-goal losses to Middle Township and Haddonfield, West Deptford picked up a much-needed win to even its record at 2-2. “We definitely needed it – walking off this field 1-3 would have been devastating and, more importantly, it would have left us 1-2 in the division, so this puts us back on stable ground and all thoughts are now on a big and talented Haddon Township team (at home on Friday),” McAndrew said. “I think today was very important because we were down on ourselves after both losses and even though we were in both games, we just couldn’t finish,” added junior striker Nick Hartman. “Today, we got out there and did what we needed to do.” After the start of the game was delayed for 45 minutes due to the Garnets’ late arrival, Quinton got the Eagles off to a quick start when he set up Struzynski for the game’s first goal about two-and-a-half minutes in. Quinton, who split time at left wing and as a center attack midfielder, took a pass, raced downfield with the ball and when Heights’ keeper Sean Fischer came out to meet him, he was able to cross it in front of the net to Struynski, who tapped it in with his left foot despite being draped by a defender. SEE A VIDEO OF STRUZYNSKI’S FIRST GOAL BELOW “I got a through ball and just dribbled down until I heard Chase say ‘Ball’ and I just played it right where he said it and he scored his first goal,” said Quinton, who scored his first two varsity goals in West Deptford’s season-opening 2-0 win over Collingswood. Less that three minutes later, Quinton scored a goal of his own, taking a pass from Luke Humes and firing a shot just inside the right post for a quick 2-0 lead. Last season, as the Eagles put together a 17-5-2 season and reached the South Jersey Group 2 final, Quinton watched from the sideline as he was academically ineligible. As he watched and cheered on his teammates, he couldn’t help but imagine what it would have been like to be out there. This season, he’s living that dream, helping to fill a big offensive void with the graduation loss of 23-goal scorer Nate Schultes. “Every game, I was so hungry to play and knowing that without Nate Schultes the next year, I knew I’d have to step up and play like him and I’m so excited to play that role this year,” Quinton said. “I couldn’t be any hungrier than I am this year. It killed me every day last season, especially when I learned I couldn’t play, but I had to stick with the team and contribute in any way possible, and I knew I had to step it with my academics.” He stayed a part of the team by keeping the team scorebook, and just being there for every game. “Mason is one of the most skilled players I’ve seen come through this program in nine years,” McAndrew said. “When he was ruled ineligible, he transferred into my homeroom, which is a mentoring homeroom and we worked day after day and each Friday we did grade checks. “Mason did what so many kids in his situation don’t do – he followed through. He was on our sideline every single game last year and did what he had to. He put his head down and got his work done and his grades are phenomenal right now. Because of that, he’s on the field and making such a big difference for us.” Buy these game photos: We offer reprints in a variety of sizes.

After the Eagles got the quick lead, Heights (0-2-1) played well for the remainder of the first half and had a couple great scoring chances, but West Deptford keeper Josh Owen came up with a pair of big saves. First, he made a tip save of a header by Ronan Caviston off a corner kick, and made another strong save on a shot by Colin Kirk to help the Eagles take their two-goal lead into intermission. West Deptford dominated the second half, outshooting the Garnets 10-1, and put the game out of reach when Struzynski added his second goal with just over 30 minutes left in the game. Humes picked up his second assist as he crossed to Struzynski, who fired the ball into an open net. Struzynski, who plays a variety of roles for West Deptford, got a start up top in place of the injured Gavin Zuzulock and capitalized on the opportunity for his first career goals. “Both my goals were pretty similar today,” Struzynski said. “It was a really cool experience, especially in a game like this where we needed a win. The team played amazing today. It really is a team thing. Everyone is capable of doing what I did today. You just have to be ready for your moment.” The Eagles, who got off to a 10-0-2 start last season, were hoping to see the momentum from that campaign carry over to this season, despite heavy graduation losses. McAndrew is encouraged by the start, and is especially pleased with the team’s senior leadership. “We knew there’d be some growing pains but we think we’re on the right track,” he said. “Three of our returning players are captains and they’re phenomenal. We couldn’t have been happier with the offseason we had. With Gavin Zuzulock, Luke Humes and Jake Hartman, I couldn’t ask for better captains. It’s incredible how mature they are. I’m so impressed with them.” Quinton, meanwhile, vows to remain determined all season. “I want to do even more,” he said. “Next game, I’m coming out even hungrier, and I will all season.” The N.J.

– Terlivaz is the first and only FDA-approved treatment for adults with HRS involving rapid reduction in kidney function1 – DUBLIN, Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Mallinckrodt plc (OTCMKTS: MNKPF), a global specialty pharmaceutical company, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Terlivaz® (terlipressin) for injection. Terlivaz is the first and only FDA-approved product indicated to improve kidney function in adults with hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) with rapid reduction in kidney function,1 an acute and life-threatening condition requiring hospitalization.2 Please see Limitation of Use and Important Safety Information, including Boxed Warning, below. Siggi Olafsson, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "The FDA approval of Terlivaz is a significant milestone for Mallinckrodt as it brings an important treatment option to these critically ill patients requiring hospitalization and to U.S. physicians who historically have had limited treatment interventions.3 We're excited to bring Terlivaz to U.S. patients and physicians and plan to launch the product in the coming weeks. This approval reflects Mallinckrodt's continued commitment to underserved patients and their caregivers through our demonstrated expertise and dedication to developing therapeutics for critical conditions." Terlipressin is recommended by the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) guidance4 and the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) guidelines.*,5 Terlipressin is one of the most studied pharmacological agents in HRS with more than 70 published manuscripts and presented abstracts on clinical data to date.6 It has been approved outside the U.S. for more than 30 years and is available on five continents for its indications in the countries where it is approved.7,8 The FDA approval was based, in part, on results from the Phase 3 CONFIRM trial, the largest-ever prospective study (n=300) conducted to assess the safety and efficacy of terlipressin in patients with HRS type 1 (HRS-1) in the U.S. and Canada. The CONFIRM trial met its primary endpoint of Verified HRS Reversal, defined as renal function improvement, avoidance of dialysis and short-term survival (p=0.012).1 To achieve Verified HRS Reversal, patients had to have two consecutive serum creatinine (SCr) values of ≤1.5 mg/dL, at least two hours apart by day 14 or hospital discharge. To be included in the primary efficacy endpoint analysis, patients had to be alive and without intervening renal replacement therapy (e.g., dialysis) at least 10 days after achieving Verified HRS Reversal.1 Initial results were presented in a late-breaking session at The Liver Meeting® 2019, the annual meeting of AASLD. Results were also published in the New England Journal of Medicine in March of 2021. The CONFIRM trial was completed prior to the updated diagnostic criteria and terminology published in the 2021 AASLD guidance on hepatorenal syndrome. Steven Romano, M.D., Executive Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer at Mallinckrodt said, "Diagnosing and treating HRS can be challenging, and every minute counts when managing patients who have it. Terlivaz gives U.S. physicians the first FDA-approved option for treating HRS patients with rapid reduction in kidney function1 that may help them improve kidney function and lessen the associated need for renal replacement therapy, such as dialysis." The most commonly observed adverse reactions in at least 4 percent of patients treated with Terlivaz compared to placebo were abdominal pain reported in 19.5 percent (n=39) of patients (vs. 6.1%; n=6), nausea reported in 16 percent (n=32) of patients (vs. 10.1%; n=10), respiratory failure reported in 15.5 percent (n=31) of patients (vs. 7.1%; n=7) diarrhea reported in 13 percent (n=26) of patients (vs. 7.1%; n=7) and dyspnea reported in 12.5 percent (n=25) of patients (vs. 5.1%; n=5).1 Terlivaz is expected to be available in the U.S. in the coming weeks. * Note, Terlivaz was not evaluated in comparison to other treatment options in a head-to-head clinical study. About Hepatorenal Syndrome (HRS) Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) involving rapid reduction in kidney function1 is an acute and life-threatening condition that occurs in people with advanced liver disease.2 HRS is classified into two distinct types – a rapidly progressive type that leads to acute renal failure where patients are typically hospitalized for their care and a more chronic type that progresses over weeks to months.2 HRS involving rapid reduction in kidney function1 is estimated to affect between 30,000 and 40,000 Americans annually.9,10 If left untreated, HRS with rapid reduction in kidney function1 has a median survival time of approximately two weeks and greater than 80 percent mortality within three months.11 INDICATION AND LIMITATION OF USE TERLIVAZ is indicated to improve kidney function in adults with hepatorenal syndrome with rapid reduction in kidney function. · Patients with a serum creatinine >5 mg/dL are unlikely to experience benefit. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING: SERIOUS OR FATAL RESPIRATORY FAILURE - TERLIVAZ may cause serious or fatal respiratory failure. Patients with volume overload or with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) Grade 3 are at increased risk. Assess oxygenation saturation (e.g., SpO2) before initiating TERLIVAZ. - Do not initiate TERLIVAZ in patients experiencing hypoxia (e.g., SpO2 <90%) until oxygenation levels improve. Monitor patients for hypoxia using continuous pulse oximetry during treatment and discontinue TERLIVAZ if SpO2 decreases below 90%. Contraindications TERLIVAZ is contraindicated: - In patients experiencing hypoxia or worsening respiratory symptoms. - In patients with ongoing coronary, peripheral, or mesenteric ischemia. Warnings and Precautions - Serious or Fatal Respiratory Failure: Obtain baseline oxygen saturation and do not initiate TERLIVAZ in hypoxic patients. Monitor patients for changes in respiratory status using continuous pulse oximetry and regular clinical assessments. Discontinue TERLIVAZ in patients experiencing hypoxia or increased respiratory symptoms. Manage intravascular volume overload by reducing or discontinuing the administration of albumin and/or other fluids and through judicious use of diuretics. Temporarily interrupt, reduce, or discontinue TERLIVAZ treatment until patient volume status improves. Avoid use in patients with ACLF Grade 3 because they are at significant risk for respiratory failure. - Ineligibility for Liver Transplant: TERLIVAZ-related adverse reactions (respiratory failure, ischemia) may make a patient ineligible for liver transplantation, if listed. For patients with high prioritization for liver transplantation (e.g., MELD ≥35), the benefits of TERLIVAZ may not outweigh its risks. - Ischemic Events: TERLIVAZ may cause cardiac, cerebrovascular, peripheral, or mesenteric ischemia. Avoid use of TERLIVAZ in patients with a history of severe cardiovascular conditions or cerebrovascular or ischemic disease. Discontinue TERLIVAZ in patients who experience signs or symptoms suggestive of ischemic adverse reactions. - Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: TERLIVAZ may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. If TERLIVAZ is used during pregnancy, the patient should be informed of the potential risk to the fetus. Adverse Reactions - The most common adverse reactions (≥10%) include abdominal pain, nausea, respiratory failure, diarrhea, and dyspnea.

During its annual dealership meeting in Las Vegas, Ford told its nearly 3,000 United States dealers that they will need to invest up to $1.2 million in upgrades to continue selling EVs under the automaker’s Ford Model E business unit. Dealers have until October 31 to get on board if they want to be part of the first round of Model E stores, InsideEVs reported. Dealers can also sign on at specified later dates, or opt out of becoming Model E dealerships, according to the report. Model E is the EV passenger-car and software division created when Ford split itself into three business units earlier this year. Along with Model E, Ford Pro handles commercial vehicles, while Ford Blue Oval handles internal-combustion passenger vehicles, hybrids, and plug-in hybrids. Ford is creating two tiers of Model E dealerships—Certified and Certified Elite. Lower-tier Model E Certified dealerships will have to install at least one DC fast charger, which will also have to be available for public use. Ford estimates the cost to become Model E Certified will average $500,000. As Ford outlined, Model E Certified Elite dealerships will need to, at minimum, install two high-power DC fast chargers and one Level 2 AC charger for customers, as well as one DC fast charger for public use. It estimates the all-in cost for Elite status to be $1 million to $1.2 million, and expects charging infrastructure to account for 90% of the upgrade cost for both tiers. While Ford will stick with franchised dealerships instead of a Tesla-like direct sales model, dealers that opt into the Model E business will also have to agree to non-negotiable pricing. Dealers can also opt out of becoming Model E certified, meaning they won’t be able to sell electric passenger cars in the future. Those that opt out by October 31 will have discontinue electric car sales effective January 1, 2024. Dealers will have another opportunity to become Model E certified, but then won’t be able to sell electric cars until January 2027. It also appears Ford won’t offer buyouts to dealers, as General Motors is doing for Cadillac and Buick dealers that opt out of those brands’ EV shifts. In an interview with CNBC, Ford Model E chief customer officer Marin Gjaja said the Blue Oval’s plan gives dealers more choices. “We don’t think it’s fair to force them to go on the EV journey or force them into a buyout,” Gjaja said. Dealers can also stick with the Blue Oval and Pro business units and continue selling other vehicles, Ford spokesperson Said Deep told Motor Authority, noting that the automaker is still launching new internal-combustion models like the redesigned 2024 Mustang muscle car and upcoming new Ranger pickup truck, and claiming the business plan accounts for the needs of smaller stores. “We undertook an extensive listening tour of our dealers to understand their markets and customer needs as we developed new dealer standards,” he said.

The Eatonville Education Association (WWA) and school district reached a tentative contract agreement Wednesday evening. The agreement must still be ratified to allow a vote by union members, before being sent to the school board for formal approval. The first day of school has a tentative start date of Sept. 16 for students in first through 12th grade. Preschool students tentatively start Sept. 19. Kindergarten tentatively starts Sept. 21. The tentative agreement comes after six days of picketing by educators. EEA said smaller class sizes are a top priority. There are about 1,800 students enrolled in the Eatonville School District. Brothers Hank and Carson Benham are still on summer break, one that's been extended by a week in Eatonville. "I really love coming here and riding my scooter in the skate park,” said Hank, who is preparing to start fifth grade. While the brothers are making the most of the time off, they say they’d rather be in the classroom. "Because I have a really good teacher,” said Carson, who will be in third grade. "The process has been moments of hope and then moments of frustration,” said Michael Sniezak, the president of the EEA. Sniezak said union members submitted a letter of No Confidence in Superintendent Gary Neal, urging the school board to call for his immediate resignation. Neal has had the job for about a year. "We want our students to be the number one priority for him. We didn't feel that was the case. So that's how the vote of no confidence came into play,” said Sniezak. An ESD spokesperson said the superintendent was unavailable for an interview on Wednesday because the district's team is at the bargaining table. "We're trying to bargain for money that was already guaranteed to us in our last contract,” Sniezak said. According to the district's website, teachers have been offered a 6.5% raise while the union is proposing an increase of 8.5%. Sniezak says pay is not the main sticking point. "It's our class size issues and our support for our students, that is really what keeps us separated,” he said. Sniezak added that he’s seen families showing their support for teachers. "To know that the community is right behind us, it makes these long days a little bit less exhausting," he said.

"Roseburg is so grateful for the patience and response by a number of impacted families who now have initial funds to support their immediate needs," said Pete Hillan, a spokesperson for the company. "Tuesday was only the start of our efforts to help people recover now instead of waiting years for financial support." Fund administrators will provide assistance at the Weed Community Center, 161 E.

BOSTON — Federal officials are examining whether the employee who reported an explosion at Northeastern University may have lied to investigators and staged the incident, law enforcement officials said Wednesday. Investigators identified inconsistencies in the employee’s statement and became skeptical because his injuries did not match wounds typically consistent with an explosion, said one official. The officials could not discuss details of the investigation publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. The Northeastern staff member said late Tuesday the hard plastic case exploded on the campus in Boston, causing minor injuries, according to authorities. In an interview with The Boston Globe, the employee denied staging the explosion, calling the event “very traumatic.” “I did not stage this … No way, shape or form ... they need to catch the guy that did this,” he told the newspaper. He didn’t immediately respond to an email Wednesday from The Associated Press. The case contained a rambling note that railed against virtual reality and also referenced Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, a law enforcement official said. No explosive materials were found and they do not believe the package was sent through the U.S. Postal Service, the official said. The official described the case as a “Pelican-style” case. Pelican is a company that makes hard cases designed to protect sensitive equipment. A spokesperson for the FBI office in Boston declined to comment Wednesday, saying the investigation is “still very active and fluid.” Northeastern in a message posted on its website Wednesday said the campus is safe. “Events such as the incident that took place on our Boston campus last night can create or heighten anxiety for many of us,” said the post, credited to Provost David Madigan and Chancellor Kenneth Henderson. “We would like to underscore what was communicated to our community last night: Multiple law enforcement agencies have determined that the campus is safe and secure.” The campus opened normally for classes and other activities Wednesday. Counseling and other support services were made available for students, faculty and staff. Despite reassurances from the school, many students remain concerned. Daily Top Stories “Every time I go to a class or dining hall or anything in general, people are just talking about what’s going on and what went on yesterday,” student Lisbeth Martinez said Wednesday. “A lot of people are still anxious and obviously scared of the situation.” The package delivered to Holmes Hall detonated just after 7 p.m. Tuesday when a staff member opened it, the university had said in a statement. The staff member, a 45-year-old man, was taken to the hospital with minor injuries to his hand, police said. No name was made public. Boston’s bomb squad neutralized a second package near the city’s Museum of Fine Arts, which is near Northeastern’s campus. Holmes Hall is home to the university’s Immersive Media Labs, which according to its website includes technologies for design, development, and exploration of virtual worlds. It is also home to the creative writing program and the women’s, gender and sexuality studies program. Northeastern is a private university in downtown Boston with about 16,000 undergraduate students. The case marks one of the first big scares in Boston since 2013, when two bombs planted near the finish line of the Boston Marathon killed three spectators and wounded more than 260 others. Associated Press journalists Mark Pratt and Rodrique Ngowi in Boston contributed to this report.

1st Lt. Gabriel J. Eggud of Staten Island, New York finally returned home WASHINGTON, Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. Army pilot 1st Lt. Gabriel Joseph Eggud, 25, of New York, missing from World War II, will be laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery on National POW/MIA Recognition Day, September 16. Pacific Wrecks, a U.S. based not-for-profit dedicated to finding Missing In Action (MIA) servicemen, located the crash site in Papua New Guinea during 2005. Research in the U.S. archives indicated the pilot was Eggud. "It's like finding a needle in a haystack. We knew roughly where 1st Lt. Eggud was lost, and we weren't giving up till we found him," said Director of Pacific Wrecks Justin Taylan. After locating Eggud, Pacific Wrecks notified the Department of Defense group that manages MIA recoveries, the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA). In 2019, DPAA recovered the remains to their forensics laboratory in Hawaii and confirmed Eggud as the decedent. DPAA figures show that approximately 84,000 American service personnel remain unaccounted for, with the vast majority of 73,000 from World War II. Taylan says, "I like to think with this burial on this day in this place that we honor all our missing heroes who never returned home." On July 6, 1944 on a combat mission against the Japanese over New Guinea, Eggud's P-39 Airacobra fighter plane exploded. Postwar searches failed to find him and he was listed as Missing In Action (MIA). Eggud will be buried at Arlington National Cemetery on September 16 at 11:00am. His granddaughter Tracey McLean and family members will be in attendance. The public and media are invited. Pacific Wrecks is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) charity dedicated to finding MIAs and leveraging new technologies in the study of past conflicts. Founded in 1995, Pacific Wrecks is a partner to DPAA and offers a free online database of WWII wrecks, the world's largest with over two million views in 2021. Taylan, 44, of Hyde Park, NY is grandson of a WWII U.S. Army photographer who served in New Guinea. He founded Pacific Wrecks and made dozens of trips to Asia-Pacific surveying crashed airplanes, airfields, shipwrecks, and battlefields.

Disney World fans say prices are too high for families, survey finds ORLANDO, Fla. (Gray News) - A recent survey shared that even the biggest Disney fans are saying the theme park prices are getting too high for them. An online gambling website called time2play surveyed nearly 2,000 self-described Disney World enthusiasts on how they feel about the rising cost of a vacation to Disney World. According to the survey, 92.6% of Disney World enthusiasts believed the cost of a Magic Kingdom vacation is currently out of reach for average families. About 48% of those surveyed shared that they have postponed a trip to Disney World in recent years due to price increases. And 68.3% said the rampant price increases have made them feel like Disney World has lost its magic. The survey shared that when Walt Disney World opened in 1971, a single-day ticket cost $3.50, compared to the current lowest one-day ticket price of $109. Copyright 2022 Gray Media Group, Inc.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Satellite data Wednesday night indicated that Tropical Depression Seven strengthened into Tropical Storm Fiona, according to WPTV First Alert Meteorologist James Wieland. Fiona is packing winds of 50 mph and moving west, northwest at 16 mph, according to the 11 p.m. update from the National Hurricane Center. A Tropical Storm Watch has been issued for portions of the northern Leeward Islands. "It's getting a little bit better organized, but it's still battling some shear and a little bit of dry air," Wieland said. "It's not going to strengthen very quickly." The storm is expected to move through the Leeward Islands on Friday or Friday night, then be near the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico this weekend. TRACKING THE TROPICS: Hurricane Center | Hurricane Guide Satellite data shows the depression has strengthened into a 50mph tropical storm. — James Wieland 🏄🏻♂️ (@SurfnWeatherman) September 15, 2022 New track guidance coming in the 11pm advisory. pic.twitter.com/O4RexbFqWx The storm is expected to bring heavy rainfall to the British Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, producing isolated flash and urban flooding along with mudslides in areas of higher terrain. The NHC said tropical storm watches could be issued for the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and Hispaniola by Thursday. The storm will likely bring gusty winds and heavy rainfall to parts of the Leeward Islands on Friday and Saturday. "The long-range computer models take it just to the east of the Bahamas," WPTV First Alert chief meteorologist Steve Weagle said. "We'll have to monitor this one, but at this point, it looks like it will stay to the east of our area." Although this is the relative peak of the Atlantic hurricane season, there have only been six named storms and two hurricanes so far this year.

Lately, the Boston Children’s Hospital has been making the media rounds with outlets like the Washington Post. The hospital is claiming to be receiving “death threats” and even a “bomb threat” over their butchery of children who think they are “born in the wrong body.” This all started when Libs of Tik Tok on Twitter began dropping the hospital’s own marketing materials where they talk about mutilating children in service of the Gender Cult that has overtaken our society. They, and others like them, are determined that everyone will join the Gender Cult or else! And in this case, the “or else” might have been “or be accused of sending heinous death threats, bigots!” Libs of Tik Tok was accused by the Washington Post of being responsible for the harassment and threats that the hospital claims it received. Investigative journalist Christopher Rufo started looking into those threats and didn’t get very far. Rufo has repeatedly asked both the Boston Children’s Hospital and the Washington Post for proof of the claimed “threats.” Neither has provided any. But today, there appears to be a break in the case. Rufo sent inquiries to the Boston Police Department and was told that there was no 911 call reporting any bomb threat. “There are no recordings responsive for the 911 call,” said the Boston PD in an email to Rufo. Here's my original communication with Boston Police Department. "There are no recordings responsive for the 911 call." pic.twitter.com/rIq5IHyxXH — Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ (@realchrisrufo) September 14, 2022 Later in the day Rufo spoke to a spokesperson for the Boston PD on the phone and they informed him they were told of the alleged “bomb threat” through “secondhand” communication. It is not clear what that means and the police wouldn’t tell him, refusing to say who alerted them to the alleged threat that caused a large police presence at the hospital. UPDATE: I spoke with Boston Police Department about the bomb threat at Boston Children's Hospital. A spokesman told me "the threat itself did not get reported to police. It came secondhand." But he refused to say who alerted BPD, telling me it was part of the investigation file. — Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ (@realchrisrufo) September 14, 2022 It’s not just Boston Children’s Hospital getting in on the free publicity. Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago—which also offers body-destroying medical interventions for “trans” children—claimed they got “harassed” too. Rufo also corresponded with reporters who pushed this claim. One of his communications with Monica Eng of NPR is so funny that it should be reposted. Rufo wrote, “You’re saying that the man with the sandwich board outside the hospital is ‘harassment?’ And you didn’t personally review the email ‘harassment’ that Lurie claims occurred?” Eng responded in an incoherent, flustered fashion, writing, “I believed the Lurien [sic] staff when they said they were facing harassment from people who believe the online posts and from a person who went to their facility to suggest false things about their care.” She then admitted she did not vet the information that the staff gave her in true Big Media style of “print first, ask questions never.” Eng admitted that the staff was “discreet” and didn’t show her the alleged harasment email, but she “certainly saw the statements people wrote about Lurie online,” proving that journalists have no idea what the differences between “harassment” and “free speech” are. The man with the sandwich board is Billboard Chris, or Chris Elston, a father who pickets organizations and institutions that push the Gender Cult theology. “I just go outside and talk to people and all Hell breaks loose,” he said. Elston travels all over North America trying to bring awareness to the public that hospitals are harming children for life with puberty-blocking drugs that have known side effects like brittle bone disease, sterilization, lowered or missing sex drive, underdeveloped genitalia, stunted height, and unknown side effects that are still being discovered including brain swelling and vision loss. They are not reversible by any means. He and others like him were called terrorists for wanting to exercise their right to protest this terrible medical crime against children who cannot consent to any medical procedures including hormones, puberty blockers, or surgeries. Elston, who is a very kind and soft-spoken man with unlimited patience for the morons who accost him on the street while he is protesting—and who even suffered having his arm broken without retaliating at one event—jokingly referred to his activities as “stochastic terror,” and his critics immediately took it seriously and spread it all over social media. But Elston is not a terrorist; he’s just a dad and he’s not going to be quiet about protecting kids. “It’s just crazy and I had to take a stand,” said Elston. “I’m just a dad. What’s the point of life? Is it to have a big house and a pool? Are we going to sit by and watch this insanity wreak havoc on society?” When you get time, read through the thread below to hear a real story of what these “gender affirming” procedures can do to a healthy person. It’s shocking that this is legal. “I have no sensation in my crotch region at all. You could stab me with a knife and I wouldn’t know. The entire area is numb, like it’s shell shocked and unable to comprehend what happened, even 4 years on,” wrote one survivor of the Gender Cult. I want to tell everyone what they took from us, what irreversible really means, and what that reality looks like for us. No one told me any of what I’m going to tell you now. 🧵 — TullipR/Ritchie 🦎🌈♂ (@TullipR) June 13, 2022 And so Billboard Elston travels around Canada and America and faces the worst of the worst hatred and violence because he cares about children who are experimented on and does not want to see one more child wake up one day with a mutilated urethra that dribbles urine all day long into his pants, causing him much more anxiety and pain than he ever dreamed possible. For this he is labeled a “terrorist,” and major media outlets amplify that message with the help of the children’s hospitals that would rather the public remain in the dark about their activities. Planned Terrorism for the best hospital in the country that cares for children. How sick do you have to be? @BostonChildrens doesn't deserve this and a hotline ain't gonna fix it. #bostonchildrenshospital #bospoli #mapoli https://t.co/CgwaS0N9fJ — Monica Cannon-Grant (@ReadyToPissUOff) September 10, 2022 Billboard Chris is not a terrorist. He’s an intelligent, caring father who has an incredible ability to talk to people and educate them on this issue. He changes hearts and minds every day he is out with the public. I was on a podcast with him and Gays Against Groomers’ Mike Harlow recently (it is linked below). Elston told PJ Media on Wednesday, “It’s not a controversial statement to say we shouldn’t be sterilizing kids. These hospitals can call me whatever they like. The words of child abusers mean nothing to me.” But who is going to hold the country’s children’s hospitals and Big Media accountable for the lies they are telling about this man and Libs of TikTok and anyone else critical of them? There isn’t one shred of evidence that any hospital has provided yet to prove they’ve received any credible threats because of the First Amendment right to protest and express disgust being exercised against what they are doing to kids behind closed doors. Not one. In fact, all evidence points to the hospitals making it up and colluding with Big Media for publicity and setting up Elston, Libs of TikTok, and anyone else who dares to join them to be arrested for trumped-up terror and harassment charges. This is wrong. This is real harassment and it should stop. Criticism is not harassment in America. The lawyers who had to sit through three years of law school (which had to include constitutional law) and who advise these hospitals and don’t tell them to stop this are seriously lacking in intelligence or risk-management skills. Their clients won’t get away with this forever, especially now that real journalists who check and verify claims are sniffing around. Good luck keeping up the charade, boys! Free speech is not harassment. The Boston Children’s Hospital and the Lurie Children’s Hospital advocate for and perform medical mutilation of kids by their own admission (or do you believe that video from Boston CHILDREN’S Hospital about “gender-affirming hysterectomies” is somehow not for children…at the children’s hospital?). According to their website, the only surgeries they wait on for a child to reach the age of maturity are genital surgeries like vaginoplasty or phalloplasty (but their claim that they do wait is suspect if you ask me since it’s a children’s hospital and anyone over the age of 18 isn’t a child anymore). But lopping off the breasts of a minor is just fine with them. The surgeries they offer to minors according to their own public website include “chest reconstruction, breast augmentation, and facial harmonization.” These Frankendoctors don’t have to like our opinions about what they are doing, but they do have to tolerate it without making up fairytales in order to censor and terrorize the public with their friends in Big Media and law enforcement. Feel free to continue expressing your disgust for these monsters. They deserve it and liberty demands it.
