Italy elections: 'It'll break my heart if energy costs shut my historic shop'
By Mark Lowen
BBC News, Trieste, Italy
- Published
Pistachio, hazelnut and forest fruit - the flavours may have evolved and the recipes changed over the 93-year history of the Pipolo ice-creamery, but its mouth-watering presence on the seafront in Trieste has been a constant.
Now, though, the energy crisis may finally force the outlet to close.
Beside the tubs of creamy delights, a poster on the wall shows the monthly electricity bill here: €4,483.45 (about £3,880) for August 2021, jumping to €15,539.18 a year on.
Above the figures are the words: "Io Non Voto." ("I'm not voting.")
Ahead of Italy's election next week, shop owner Gianadrea Pipolo believes that politicians need to focus more on the cost-of-living emergency.
"We can manage for another two or three months, but after that, we'll stop paying the bills - because it's unsustainable," he says.
"They'll cut us off and we'll have to shut down. It would break my heart - especially after the problems of the pandemic.
"My grandfather opened this place in 1929. We survived the Second World War and everything else - but now, the possibility of closing because of an electricity crisis hurts a lot."
An hour's drive north of Trieste reveals what is behind that worsening crisis.
Inside a tunnel dug into lush mountains in Tarvisio, near Italy's border with Austria, two iron pipes rise from the ground carrying a precious commodity on which Europe has relied for decades: Russian gas, the leverage that Vladimir Putin has had in the West. But it is tapering off.
Before Russia began its large-scale military attack in Ukraine, 40% of Italy's gas came through this pipeline, with Italy the EU's second-largest importer. Now it has dropped to around 18%, as Europe weans itself off its dependence on Moscow.
That diversification, and the West's sanctions against the Kremlin, have prompted Gazprom, Russia's state energy provider, to restrict supply through Europe's pipelines, including in Tarvisio.
The drastic drops in Russian gas have pushed up prices across the world, and the cost-of-living crisis is now at the centre of Italy's upcoming election.
"The main entry point for gas is no longer here, but in Sicily, with gas coming from Algeria," says Simone Nobili of SNAM, the operator of Italy's gas networks. "The Italian government is trying to diversify the supply as much as possible, not only through pipes but also through liquefied natural gas (LNG)."
Recent contracts with Algeria have now made it Italy's biggest gas supplier, supplanting Russia.
Other sources, including Azerbaijan and another pipeline transporting gas from Norway and the Netherlands, have also increased. And Italy is investing more in regasification vessels that receive LNG mainly from Qatar and the US.
"It is very difficult to be able to predict whether or not we will have enough gas," says Mr Nobili.
"With the government, we are working very hard to try to resolve - or at least succeed in fighting - this emergency situation so as to avoid having to ration gas. Up until now, Russia has always been a reliable supplier: not even during the Cold War did we go without its gas."
But this is a new era - and, belatedly, a wake-up call for a continent that is staring at the possibility of Moscow turning off the taps entirely.
Italy's gas storage facilities are now more than 80% full, as it prepares for what could be a hard - and expensive - winter.
As prices surge, it is prompting fears here that the public appetite for supporting Ukraine may sour: a calculation that Mr Putin is clearly making by tightening gas supplies.
Polls already show that most Italians oppose sending arms to Ukraine, and the country has deep, historic ties to Russia that have helped produce a climate in which Italy is sometimes portrayed as a weak link in the West's pro-Ukraine front.
Mario Draghi, the outgoing prime minister, has been a key pillar of support to Kyiv - but some believe a new right-wing government could change tack.
While Giorgia Meloni, the favourite to become prime minister, has been firmly behind Mr Draghi's position on Ukraine, her coalition partners Matteo Salvini and Silvio Berlusconi are long-time Russophiles, with close personal ties to Mr Putin.
"I don't think that some politicians' relationships with Russia are what's behind our opposition to the war", says Alessandra Richetti, who has taken part in pacifist demonstrations in Trieste.
"It's about our constitution, which explicitly rejects participation in wars. I want the next government to stop sending arms to Ukraine."
She believes there is hypocrisy in refusing Russian gas because of its egregious actions in Ukraine, while simultaneously turning to other countries like Qatar and Algeria, "both with dirty human rights records". "Meanwhile, we're not talking about how most Europeans are being brought to their knees by this war," she adds.
At the commercial port of Trieste, Italy's largest in terms of traffic, business is booming as Adriatic routes replace blockages in the Black Sea.
As a large container ship carrying goods from Turkey offloads, the president of the port authority, Zeno D'Agostino, tells me there's been an increase of 25%-30% since the war began.
"For us it's positive," he says. "But if I look at why we're getting these flows, it's negative because I don't like war. For us, everything is an opportunity, because we are a link between a world that is separating."
Out at sea, near the port, the world's largest sailing yacht sits idle, seized by Italian authorities from a Russian oligarch close to the Kremlin. At 143 metres long, and with eight decks, it is valued at €530m.
It is visible from across this coastal city: a constant reminder to the people of Trieste of what is happening in Ukraine - and how its ramifications have spread through Italy and through the political choice that Italians now face.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — A right-wing bloc that includes a nationalist anti-immigration party won a narrow majority in Sweden’s parliament Wednesday. It was a major political shift in the Scandinavian country that had a decades-long history of welcoming refugees, but is grappling with a crime wave linked with immigration.
Center-left Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson conceded defeat with 99.9% of the vote from the weekend elections counted Wednesday. She said she would step down Thursday.
Populist Sweden Democrats leader Jimmie Akesson declared victory for the four-party bloc. He said his party would be “a constructive and driving force” in the work of rebuilding safety in Sweden. He said it was “time to put Sweden first.”
The bloc that includes the Sweden Democrats — the country’s second-largest party — won a thin majority in parliament. Though a few votes were outstanding they were not enough to sway the final outcome.
Prime Minister Andersson said that “the preliminary result is clear enough to draw a conclusion” that her center-left forces had lost power.
Andersson became Sweden’s first female prime minister last year and led the country in its historic bid to join NATO following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
While Andersson is personally popular, anxiety in Sweden has grown over high crime rates in segregated districts that are home to large numbers of immigrants who have failed to integrate into Swedish society. Some blamed her Social Democrats, who have been in power for eight years.
Ulf Kristersson, the leader of Sweden’s third largest party, the Moderates, who’s considered to be the leading figure in the right-wing bloc and a possible prime minister, thanked voters for their trust. “Now we will get Sweden in order,” he wrote on Facebook.
“The Moderates and the other parties on my side have received the mandate for the change that we asked for. I am now starting the work of forming a new, effective government,” Kristersson said.
The Sweden Democrats were long shunned by Swedes because the party was founded in the 1980s by neo-Nazis and other far-right extremists. In recent years it has moved into the mainstream by expelling extremists, and gained support with a tough stance on crime and immigration amid a rise in shootings and other gang violence.
Its transformation was led by 43-year-old Akesson, who in his speech Wednesday evening said it was time for a new chapter in Sweden.
“Now it will be enough with the failed Social Democratic policy that for eight years has continued to lead the country in the wrong direction,” Akesson said. “It is time to start rebuilding security, welfare and cohesion. It is time to put Sweden first. The Sweden Democrats will be a constructive and driving force in this work.”
“Now the work begins to make Sweden good again,” he said.
The tally gave the right-wing bloc 176 seats in the 349-parliament, the Riksdag, and Andersson’s center-left bloc with 173 seats. A majority in Sweden requires 175 seats.
“The four right-wing parties appear to have received just under 50% of the votes in the election, and in the Riksdag, they have gained one or two mandates. A thin majority, but it is a majority,” Andersson said.
“Tomorrow I will therefore request my dismissal as Prime Minister and the responsibility for the continued process will now pass to the Parliament Speaker and the Riksdag.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s not just rocket fuel propelling America’s first moonshot after a half-century lull. Strategic rivalry with China’s ambitious space program is helping drive NASA’s effort to get back into space in a bigger way, as both nations push to put people back on the moon and establish the first lunar bases.
American intelligence, military and political leaders make clear they see a host of strategic challenges to the U.S. in China’s space program, in an echo of the U.S.-Soviet rivalry that prompted the 1960s’ race to the moon. That’s as China is quickly matching U.S. civil and military space accomplishments and notching new ones of its own.
On the military side, the U.S. and China trade accusations of weaponizing space. Senior U.S. defense officials warn that China and Russia are building capabilities to take out the satellite systems that underpin U.S. intelligence, military communications and early warning networks.
There’s also a civilian side to the space race. The U.S. is wary of China taking the lead in space exploration and commercial exploitation, and pioneering the technological and scientific advances that would put China ahead in power in space and in prestige down on Earth.
“In a decade, the United States has gone from the unquestioned leader in space to merely one of two peers in a competition,” Sen. Jim Inhofe, an Oklahoma Republican, declared this week at a Senate Armed Services hearing. “Everything our military does relies on space.”
At another hearing last year, NASA administrator Bill Nelson brandished an image transmitted by a Chinese rover that had just plunked down on Mars. “The Chinese government … they’re going to be landing humans on the moon” soon, he said. “That should tell us something about our need to get off our duff.”
NASA, the U.S. civilian space agency, is awaiting a new launch date this month or in October for its Artemis 1 uncrewed test moonshot. Technical problems scrubbed the first two launch attempts in recent weeks.
China likewise aims to send astronauts to the moon this decade, as well as establish a robotic research station there. Both the U.S. and China intend to establish bases for intermittent crews on the moon’s south pole after that.
Russia has aligned with China’s moon program, while 21 nations have joined a U.S.-initiated effort meant to bring guidelines and order to the civil exploration and development of space.
The parallel efforts come 50 years after U.S. astronauts last pulled shut the doors on an Apollo module and blasted away from the moon, in December 1972.
Some space policy experts bat down talk of a new space race, seeing big differences from John F. Kennedy’s Cold War drive to outdo the Soviet Union’s Sputnik and be the first to get people on the moon. This time, both the U.S. and China see moon programs as a stepping stone in phased programs toward exploring, settling and potentially exploiting the resources and other untapped economic and strategic opportunities offered by the moon, Mars and space at large.
Beyond the gains in technology, science and jobs that accompany space programs, Artemis promoters point to the potential of mining minerals and frozen water on the moon, or using the moon as a base to go prospecting on asteroids — the Trump administration in particular emphasized the mining prospects. There’s potential in tourism and other commercial efforts.
And for space more broadly, Americans alone have tens of thousands of satellites overhead in what the Space Force says is a half-trillion dollar global space economy. Satellites guide GPS, process credit card purchases, help keep TV, radio and cell phone feeds going, and predict weather. They ensure the military and intelligence community’s ability to keep track of perceived threats.
And in a world where China and Russia are collaborating to try to surpass the U.S. in space, and where some point to private space efforts led by U.S. billionaires as rendering costly NASA rocket launches unnecessary, the U.S. would regret leaving the glory and strategic advantages from developing the moon and space solely to the likes of Chinese President Xi Jinping and Tesla magnate Elon Musk, Artemis proponents say.
The moon programs signal that “space is going to be an arena of competition on the prestige front, demonstrating advanced technical expertise and know-how, and then also on the military front as well,” said Aaron Bateman, a professor of history and international affairs at George Washington University and a member of the Space Policy Institute.
“People who are supportive of Artemis and people who see it as a tool of competition, they want the United States to be at the table in shaping the future of exploration on other celestial bodies,” Bateman said.
There’s no shortage of such warnings as the Artemis program moves toward lift-off. “Beijing is working to match or exceed U.S. capabilities in space to gain the military, economic, and prestige benefits that Washington has accrued from space leadership,” the U.S. intelligence community warned this year in its annual threat assessment.
A Pentagon-commissioned study group contended last month that “China appears to be on track to surpass the U.S. as the dominant space power by 2045.” It called that part of a Chinese plan to promote authoritarianism and communism down here on Earth.
It’s sparked occasional heated words between Chinese and U.S. officials.
China’s space program was guided by peaceable principles, Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said in July. “Some U.S. officials are constantly smearing China’s normal and reasonable outer space undertakings,” Zhao said.
Flying on the mightiest rocket ever built by NASA, Artemis 1 aims for a five-week demo flight that would put test dummies into lunar orbit.
If all goes well with that, U.S. astronauts could fly around the moon in 2024 and land on it in 2025, culminating a program that will have cost $93 billion over more than a decade of work.
NASA intends that a woman and a person of color will be on the first U.S. crew touching foot on the moon again.
Lessons learned in getting back to the moon will aid in the next step in crewed flights, to Mars, the space agency says.
China’s ambitious space program, meanwhile, is a generation behind that of the United States. But its secretive, military-linked program is developing fast and creating distinctive missions that could put Beijing on the leading edge of space flight.
Already, China has that rover on Mars, joining U.S. ones already there. China carved out a first with its landing on the far side of the moon.
Chinese astronauts are overhead now, putting the finishing touches on a permanent orbiting space station.
A 1967 U.N. space treaty meant to start shaping the guardrails for space exploration bans anyone from claiming sovereignty over a celestial body, putting a military base on it, or putting weapons of mass destruction into space.
“I don’t think it’s at all by coincidence or happenstance that it is now in this period of what people are claiming is renewed great-power competition that the United States is actually investing the resources to go back,” said Bateman, the scholar on space and national security. “Time will tell if this turns into a sustained program.”
Competition isn’t necessarily a bad thing, said Sen. Chris Coons, a Delaware Democrat and member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Does rivalry with the Chinese “ensure greater sustained interest in our space program? Sure,” Coons said. “But I don’t think that’s necessarily a competition that leads to conflict.
“I think it can be a competition — like the Olympics — that simply means that each team and each side is going to push higher and faster. And as a result, humanity is likely to benefit,” he said.

FedEx to close stores, put off hiring as demand slumps
(AP) - FedEx said Thursday it is shuttering storefronts and corporate offices while putting off new hires in a belt-tightening drive brought on by drop-off in its global package delivery business.
The company based in Memphis, Tennessee, warned it will likely miss Wall Street’s profit target for its fiscal first quarter that ended Aug. 31. And it said it expects business conditions to further weaken in the current quarter amid weaker global volume.
Its stock fell more than 16% in after-hours trading following the announcement.
“Global volumes declined as macroeconomic trends significantly worsened later in the quarter, both internationally and in the U.S.,” FedEx CEO Raj Subramaniam said in a statement. “We are swiftly addressing these headwinds, but given the speed at which conditions shifted, first-quarter results are below our expectations.”
The company’s FedEx Express business was particularly hurt by challenges in Europe and weaker economic trends in Asia, which led to a roughly $500 million revenue shortfall for the segment. FedEx Ground revenue, meanwhile, came in about $300 million below the company’s forecasts.
High operating expenses were also a drag on the company’s results, FedEx said.
In response, it said it will cut costs by closing over 90 FedEx Office locations and five corporate offices, deferring new hires and operating fewer flights.
The company scrapped its forecast for its earnings in its current fiscal year that it had issued less than three months ago.
For the three months ended Aug. 31, FedEx now projects adjusted earnings per share of $3.44 and $23.2 billion in revenue. That’s below analysts’ consensus forecast of $5.14 adjusted earnings per share and $23.6 billion in revenue, according to FactSet.
Subramaniam noted that he remains confident FedEx will achieve its fiscal year 2025 financial targets.
For the current quarter, which ends in November, FedEx expects revenue to range between $23.5 billion and $24 billion, and adjusted earnings per share of at least $2.75. Wall Street analysts had expected adjusted earnings per share of $5.48 and $24.86 billion in revenue, according to FactSet.
The company still plans to buy back $1.5 billion of its common stock in fiscal 2023. It expects to buy back $1 billion of its common stock during the second quarter.

Top doctor is FURIOUS at ABC star Norman Swan for frightening Aussies about Covid-19 with 'dated' information: 'Stop scaring the public'
- Norman Swan cops a serve from medical researcher Fiona Russell on Twitter
- Russell takes Swan to task for tweeting article about Covid that is two years old
- Prof Russell said the outdated article failed to account for current circumstances or recent researchlegend
ABC health guru Norman Swan copped a social media smackdown from a leading medical researcher after tweeting an old article about Covid health complications.
Melbourne University Professor Fiona Russell, who is considered an eminent authority in child medicine and infectious diseases, told Dr Swan he needed to talk to 'qualified people' about Covid effects after he tweeted a two-year-old article.
It was a stinging putdown for Dr Swan, who is the National Broadcaster's pandemic pundit of choice and has a dedicated taxpayer-funded podcast on Covid called Coronacast, where he's interviewed as an expert voice on the virus.
Dr Norman Swan has been the ABC's Covid pundit of choice during the pandemic and is the expert voice on a podcast devoted to the virus
Prof Russell was replying to Dr Swan's tweet of a Washington Post article from April, 2020, which was headlined: 'Young and middle-aged people, barely sick with covid-19, are dying of strokes'
'This is not a benign virus,' Dr Swan wrote in the tweet.
'Wishful thinking won't make it go away. Currently on a stuffy plane. Few masks.'
Prof Russell said the outdated article failed to account for current circumstances or recent research.
Dr Swan has attracted considerable flack on Twitter for posting an article about Covid complications that dates back to April 2020
'Norman this article is Apr20,' Prof Robson wrote.
'We have high uptake of vaxx & most ppl have already been infected.
'There is no solid evidence to show reinfections are worse in vaxxed ppl or kids-actually the opposite.
'The public deserve to hear from qualified ppl on these topics. Pls talk to them.'
Prof Russell, a leading researcher in child medicine and infectious diseases, did not hold back when criticising a tweet from Swan
Prof Russell tweeted that Dr Swan needed to talk to people who were qualified on the effects of Covid on younger people
Melbourne Urology specialist Dr Ranjit Rao also pointed out the article was dated.
'Stop scaring public Norman,' Dr Rao tweeted
'If you're that worried, stop flying and leave everyone to make their own risk assessment.'
Another Twitter user tweeted pictures of Dr Swan unmasked at various public events.
'Yet not a single mask being worn by you in any of these pictures of you interacting with the public. Do as I say, not as I do,' the tweet said.
Melbourne urology specialist Dr Ranjit Rao also took issue with Swan tweeting an old article
Another tweeted pictures of Dr Swan signing a book he authored but again without a mask.
'Wishful thinking won't make it (Covid) go away. Only book signings make it go away,' the user tweeted.
Some twitter users accused Dr Swan of being selective in telling people to wear mask
Dr Swan (pictured left) got a medical degree from Aberdeen University in 1976 but has spent 30 years as health reporter and commetator
Dr Norman Swan has been approached for comment.

DAILY MAIL COMMENT: Spellbinding send-off will be fit for a Queen
The elaborate ceremonies held since the Queen's death have been breathtaking in their magnificence and grandeur.
The Accession Council to proclaim King Charles. The thanksgiving service at St Giles' Cathedral, Edinburgh. The poignant procession as Her Majesty was laid in state.
But even these will be eclipsed by Elizabeth II's state funeral. The most spellbinding and distinguished of all the occasions, it will truly be fit for a Queen.
The greatest constitutional monarch this country – indeed, the world – has seen, she performed her challenging and demanding role faithfully and devotedly for 70 years. This is the least we can do for her.
The elaborate ceremonies held since the Queen's death have been breathtaking in their magnificence and grandeur
The thanksgiving service at St Giles' Cathedral, Edinburgh. The poignant procession as Her Majesty was laid in state. But even these will be eclipsed by Elizabeth II's state funeral. The most spellbinding and distinguished of all the occasions, it will truly be fit for a Queen
The late monarch's coffin will be borne on a 123-year-old gun carriage for a powerfully symbolic ceremony at Westminster Abbey, before she makes her final journey to Windsor Castle, where she will be buried alongside her beloved husband Philip.
The logistics, of course, will be formidable. But in a victory for common sense, officials have decreed that the Queen's coffin will take byroads, not the motorway, to her resting place, giving hundreds of thousands more a chance to line the route.
With 30-hour queues to file past her coffin at Westminster Hall, and millions cramming into London for the funeral, many wouldn't otherwise get the chance to say farewell.
By pragmatically amending arrangements, it means if mourners cannot go to the monarch, she can come to more of them.
Scrap the bonus cap
On the face of it, there is bad timing, worse timing and the Chancellor saying he wants to scrap the cap on bankers' bonuses.
With families being pummelled by the cost of living crisis and the Government urging pay restraint, the plan seems like a PR disaster.
Not long ago, bankers' reckless greed brought Britain's financial services to the brink of collapse, so queasiness at them again being allowed to shamelessly plunder vast rewards is understandable.
If Kwasi Kwarteng is determined to hit the accelerator on growth, he must improve the City's global competitiveness
But if Kwasi Kwarteng is determined to hit the accelerator on growth, he must improve the City's global competitiveness.
By unshackling it from EU bonus-capping regulations, the Treasury will make the Square Mile more attractive to international talent and investment – ultimately making us more prosperous.
Yes, critics warn that uncapped bonuses could lead to the kind of excessive risk-taking that led to the financial crash. But new and tougher penalties should deter irresponsibility and misconduct.
Mr Kwarteng should ignore the Left's outraged howls and dig his heels in on this policy. His job is to make the right calls for the economy – not to wilt before banker-bashing populism.
The New York Whines
Like a demented stalker, the once-esteemed New York Times newspaper has a very unhealthy obsession with Britain.
Ever since we voted for Brexit, the sanctimonious Left-wing rag has launched a fusillade of gratuitous attacks against us.
In a litany of laughably negative stories, it says we dine out on boiled mutton, huddle round bin fires for warmth – and we're so racist we drove out Meghan.
The Grey Lady's even turned her ghoulish gaze on the Queen, poisonously – and falsely – denouncing the dead monarch as a symbol of colonialism.
Now it moans that UK taxpayers struggling to heat homes must foot the bill for the state funeral for... the head of state. What an amazing scoop!
What sticks in the craw is the paper's sickening hypocrisy. Firstly, American taxpayers themselves are paying huge sums to fly President Biden here for the service.
And second, how has it the audacity to portray Britain as a Dickensian dystopia, when swathes of the US are crime-plagued, poverty-stricken, racially-riven hellholes?

LVMH, the parent company for luxury brand Louis Vuitton, says it plans to reduce its energy consumption in stores by turning out the lights.
The company wants customers to know it's not shutting down stores but just turning off the lights at night to save energy amid more focus on climate change and excessive energy use around the globe.
The French company says it will start to turn off its store lights earlier, starting in France in October, and then will implement the plan worldwide in the weeks and months that follow, the Guardian reported.
Louis Vuitton is the world's largest high-end goods conglomerate operating 522 stores and 110 production locations in France.
Company leaders said they would also implement a plan to educate employees on ways to reduce energy consumption at work and home.
The goal is to reduce overall energy use by 10% over the coming year.

Couple formally charged in Argentine VP assassination attempt
Issued on:
Buenos Aires (AFP) – The gunman who tried to shoot Argentina's Vice President Cristina Kirchner in the face was formally charged Thursday with attempted homicide, as was his girlfriend, courts documents showed.
Fernando Sabag Montiel, 35, was caught on stunning video pointing a pistol at Kirchner from close range as she greeted supporters outside her home on September 1.
After Montiel's weapon failed to go off -- for reasons still unknown -- he was overpowered and arrested, while his girlfriend Brenda Uliarte, 23, was arrested three days later.
The judge leading the case, Maria Capuchetti, issued charges of attempted aggravated homicide with premeditation against Montiel and Uliarte, who will remain in police custody, according to court documents seen by AFP.
Judge Capuchetti has yet to issue charges against two of the couple's acquaintances -- Agustina Diaz, 21 and Gabriel Carrizo, 27 -- who were both arrested earlier this week.
Authorities had said earlier that there was evidence of "planning and prior agreement" between Montiel and Uliarte, though their motives have not yet been clearly established.
Kirchner, the 69-year-old former president, enjoys a loyal support base among followers of the center-left Peronist movement.
But she is disliked in equal measure by the political opposition, and is at the center of a heated corruption trial from her time in office.

Christianity quickly diminishing in US, on pace to become minority religion in decades: study
A recently released study suggests the number of Christians in the United States is diminishing quickly and being replaced by those who do not identify with any religion.
A new report by Pew Research Center and the General Social Survey published Tuesday found a surge of adults leaving Christianity to become atheist, agnostic or "nothing in particular." It predicted that if the number of Christians under 30 abandoning their faith accelerates beyond the current pace, adherents of the historically dominant religion of the U.S. could become a minority by 2045.
Noting how approximately 90% of Americans identified as Christians in the early 1990s, the study observed that the number, which includes children, had fallen to only 64% by 2020. The research showed that the number of people in the U.S. who identify as religiously unaffiliated skyrocketed from 16% in 2007 to 29% in 2020. Other religions such as Judaism, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism, accounted for approximately 6% in 2020.
The study presented four hypothetical scenarios by which the U.S. religious landscape could change in the coming decades. In one scenario, researchers analyzed the potential impact of young Christian adults abandoning their faith and switching affiliations without limitation.
These rates of religious switching model what the U.S. landscape would look like if switching stayed at its recent pace, continued to speed up, or suddenly halted: 5/ https://t.co/BELUlKdCdu pic.twitter.com/InenWf4LAY
— Pew Research Center (@pewresearch) September 13, 2022
The other three scenarios hypothesize other types of increasing religious disaffiliation, but "they all show Christians continuing to shrink as a share of the U.S. population, even under the counterfactual assumption that all switching came to a complete stop in 2020."
All four scenarios project swelling ranks among the religiously unaffiliated, or "nones," throughout the next half-century. The only scenario that projects Christians maintaining a majority in the U.S. through 2070 is if no one changes their religious affiliation after 2020.
"Of course, it is possible that events outside the study’s model – such as war, economic depression, climate crisis, changing immigration patterns, or religious innovations – could reverse current religious switching trends, leading to a revival of Christianity in the United States," the study said. "But there are no current switching patterns in the U.S. that can be factored into the mathematical models to project such a result."
Our NEW projections show U.S. Christians are on track to lose their majority status within a few decades if recent trends continue, driven mostly by young people leaving the faith. 🧵https://t.co/iTk2OiLOOj pic.twitter.com/tecy2HF8oF
— 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲 𝗞𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗿 (@_StephKramer) September 13, 2022
The study's data showed that while more older Americans are remaining identified with Christianity, many younger adults are increasingly switching to "nones."
"If the pace of switching before the age of 30 were to speed up throughout the projection period without any brakes, Christians would no longer be a majority by 2045," Pew researchers noted.
In such a scenario, the number of religiously unaffiliated would stand at 52%, and the number of Christians dip to 35% by 2070.
"Switching has not ended, and there is no reason to think it will come to an abrupt stop," the researchers said, adding, "Still, if fewer future young adults switch from Christianity to no affiliation, or if movement in the opposite direction increases, the future religious landscape might resemble the results of this projection."
The researchers predicted, based on recent generational trends, that the most likely scenario among their hypotheticals is Christianity declining but still remaining capped at 50%.

NEW YORK, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Parallaxes Capital Management ("Parallaxes") is an alternative asset manager and, since 2017, has raised four funds dedicated to Tax Receivable Agreements ("TRAs"). As the market leader in monetizing TRAs, Parallaxes is dedicated to increasing the visibility and transparency of TRAs which remain an often overlooked and misunderstood asset class. In the vein of creating greater visibility into the TRA ecosystem, Parallaxes is pleased to share a notable development in the market as Athlon Energy, Inc. ("Athlon") terminated its TRA.
Athlon disclosed that after having been acquired by Encana Corporation ("Encana"), Encana will be making an aggregate cash payment of approximately $25 million to TRA holders to satisfy obligations under the TRA. The Athlon TRA provided for the payment of 85% of the net cash tax savings realized from certain tax attributes, including savings from (i) increases in tax basis and certain other tax benefits related to exchanges of subsidiary units and (ii) payments under the TRA.
Parallaxes views TRAs, including the Athlon TRA, as a valuable tool to reduce certain moral hazard problems and informational asymmetry inherent in a company's public offering. TRAs help ensure that pre-IPO owners are economically aligned with new public shareholders and incentivize pre-IPO owners to pursue an IPO structure that provides the company with ongoing tax benefits. Parallaxes anticipates enhanced awareness and understanding of TRAs will drive increased market adoption.
Parallaxes Capital Management ("Parallaxes") is the premier investment firm focused exclusively on monetizing Tax Receivable Agreements ("TRAs"). Parallaxes offers private equity sponsors, co-investors and management team members solutions to achieve liquidity, diversification and optionality from their TRAs. Parallaxes was founded in 2017 and is comprised of experienced investment professionals from leading private equity and growth equity firms. To learn more, please visit www.plxcap.com

Superstar comedian and current top-billed actor Kevin Hart hasn’t been out on tour in a while. Between the pandemic and Hart’s TV and movie career, it’s been several years since the one-time road warrior toured the big rooms that he regularly filled.
That’s all changed now, with Hard bringing his “Reality Check” tour to the Amway Center this weekend.
“I am hype as shit to go back out on tour. There is nothing better than making people laugh … I’ve been cooking up something special and have thoughts I need to get off my chest,” Hart shared in his tour announcement.
FYI: Hart is asking audience members to lock their mobile devices in Yondr pouches.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Samsung Electronics is shifting away from fossil fuels and aiming to entirely power its global operations with clean electricity by 2050, a challenging goal that experts say could be hampered by South Korea’s modest climate change commitments.
South Korea-based Samsung is a top producer of computer memory chips and smartphones and the second biggest energy consumer behind Walmart among hundreds of global companies that have joined the “RE100” campaign to get 100% of electricity from renewable sources like wind or solar power.
In announcing its target Thursday the company said it aims to achieve net zero carbon emissions across its mobile device, television and consumer electronics divisions by 2030, and across all global operations including semiconductors by 2050.
It plans to invest 7 trillion won ($5 billion) through 2030 on projects aimed at reducing emissions from process gases, controlling and recycling electronic waste, conserving water and minimizing pollutants. It plans to develop new technologies to reduce power consumption in consumer electronics devices and data centers, which would require more efficient memory chips. It also will set long-term goals to reduce emissions in supply chains and logistics.
“Samsung is responding to the threats of climate change with a comprehensive plan that includes reducing emissions, new sustainability practices and the development of innovative technologies and products that are better for our planet,” Jong-Hee Han, the company’s CEO, said in an emailed statement.
Samsung’s plan drew praise from some of its investors, including Dutch pension fund manager APG, which said the company could potentially make a “significant contribution” in cleaning up South Korea’s electricity market, considering its impact and influence on the national economy.
Sam Kimmins, director of energy and head of RE100 at the London-based Climate Group, which leads the clean electricity initiative, said Samsung’s commitment would send a message to others in the market that “it is possible, and critical, to switch to 100% renewable electricity.”
APG expressed concern, however, that Samsung’s announcement comes at a time when South Korea has been dialing back on its climate change goals.
The conservative government of President Yoon Suk Yeol, who took office in May, has focused much of its energy policy on promoting nuclear-generated electricity. Desperate to boost a weak economy, Yoon’s government has also indicated reluctance to sharply reduce the country’s dependence on coal and gas, which generate about 65% of South Korea’s electricity.
South Korea got 7.5% of its electricity from renewable sources in 2021, significantly lower than the 30% average among rich nations making up the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Yoon’s government recently adjusted the country’s renewable energy target to 21% of the total energy mix by 2030, softening the 30% target announced by his liberal predecessor, Moon Jae-in.
Samsung acknowledged it would have a harder time converting to renewable electricity sources at home than at its foreign operations, where it aims to get to 100% clean energy by 2027. It said renewable energy supplies in South Korea “have begun to expand but remain limited,” while its electricity needs continue to rise as it boosts production at its domestic semiconductor lines to meet global demands.
“As a long-term investor in Korea, we are concerned about how the government plans to reconcile the industry’s desperate need for clean electricity to stay relevant in the long run,” Yoo-Kyung Park, APG’s Asia Pacific head of responsible investment and governance, said in a statement.
Samsung, South Korea’s biggest company, had faced growing pressure to do more to reduce its carbon emissions as it lagged behind some of its peers in climate commitments. Those companies include Apple, a major buyer of Samsung’s chips, which joined RE100 in 2016 and plans to be carbon neutral across its entire business and manufacturing supply chains by 2030, putting the pressure on its suppliers to meet those requirements.
Samsung is the crown jewel of an export-reliant economy driven by manufacturing of semiconductors, cars, display panels, mobile phones and ships, industries that tend to have high energy consumption.
Samsung used 25.8 terawatt hours of electricity for its operations last year, which was nearly twice the amount consumed by all households in the South Korean capital of Seoul and more than other global technology giants like Google, Apple, Meta, Intel, and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company.
Samsung’s embrace of clean electricity could have significant supply chain effects, pushing other companies to boost their renewable energy supplies, said Ousam Jin from the Seoul-based Corporate Renewable Energy Foundation.
“Most meaningfully, Samsung’s RE100 commitment sends a strong signal to the renewable energy market and policymakers to increase the supply of renewable energy considering the company’s massive electricity usage,” Jin said.

FedEx to close stores, put off hiring as demand slumps
(AP) - FedEx said Thursday it is shuttering storefronts and corporate offices while putting off new hires in a belt-tightening drive brought on by drop-off in its global package delivery business.
The company based in Memphis, Tennessee, warned it will likely miss Wall Street’s profit target for its fiscal first quarter that ended Aug. 31. And it said it expects business conditions to further weaken in the current quarter amid weaker global volume.
Its stock fell more than 16% in after-hours trading following the announcement.
“Global volumes declined as macroeconomic trends significantly worsened later in the quarter, both internationally and in the U.S.,” FedEx CEO Raj Subramaniam said in a statement. “We are swiftly addressing these headwinds, but given the speed at which conditions shifted, first-quarter results are below our expectations.”
The company’s FedEx Express business was particularly hurt by challenges in Europe and weaker economic trends in Asia, which led to a roughly $500 million revenue shortfall for the segment. FedEx Ground revenue, meanwhile, came in about $300 million below the company’s forecasts.
High operating expenses were also a drag on the company’s results, FedEx said.
In response, it said it will cut costs by closing over 90 FedEx Office locations and five corporate offices, deferring new hires and operating fewer flights.
The company scrapped its forecast for its earnings in its current fiscal year that it had issued less than three months ago.
For the three months ended Aug. 31, FedEx now projects adjusted earnings per share of $3.44 and $23.2 billion in revenue. That’s below analysts’ consensus forecast of $5.14 adjusted earnings per share and $23.6 billion in revenue, according to FactSet.
Subramaniam noted that he remains confident FedEx will achieve its fiscal year 2025 financial targets.
For the current quarter, which ends in November, FedEx expects revenue to range between $23.5 billion and $24 billion, and adjusted earnings per share of at least $2.75. Wall Street analysts had expected adjusted earnings per share of $5.48 and $24.86 billion in revenue, according to FactSet.
The company still plans to buy back $1.5 billion of its common stock in fiscal 2023. It expects to buy back $1 billion of its common stock during the second quarter.

US sends new military aid for Ukraine to boost momentum
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration announced Thursday it will send another $600 million in military aid to Ukraine, as the U.S. rushes more weapons to fuel Kyiv’s counteroffensive that has reclaimed large stretches of the embattled country and forced Russian troops to retreat.
The White House said it was the 21st time that the Defense Department has pulled weapons and other equipment off the shelves to deliver to Ukraine.
The package will include more of the same types of ammunition and equipment that have helped Ukrainian forces beat back the Russian forces in portions of the east and south.
“With admirable grit and determination, the people of Ukraine are defending their homeland and fighting for their future,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said.
“The capabilities we are delivering are carefully calibrated to make the most difference on the battlefield and strengthen Ukraine’s hand at the negotiating table when the time is right,” he said in a statement.
The decision to move on new aid quickly — on the heels of a nearly $2.9 billion infusion of aid and financing support announced last week and more than $3 billion announced in late August — underscore the U.S. intent to ensure that Ukraine can sustain its stunning counterattack that was launched early this month.
That most recent funding included $2.2 billion in long-term military financing announced that Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced during a visit to Ukraine last week, and a $675 million weapons package announced by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin in Europe that same day.
The $2.2 billion that Blinken announced in Kyiv is for Ukraine and 18 of its neighbors, including NATO members and regional security partners, that are potentially at risk of future Russian aggression, the U.S. said.
Moscow’s recent rout in northeast Ukraine was its largest military defeat since the withdrawal of Russian troops from areas near Kyiv more than five months ago.
The latest package of weapons systems brings the total amount of U.S. aid to Ukraine to nearly $15.9 billion since President Joe Biden took office.
U.S. officials watching the counteroffensive have been careful not to declare a premature victory, noting that Russia still has substantial troops and resources. And they are wary of what Russian President Vladimir Putin may do to turn the tide.
But U.S. leaders also have made clear that the precision weapons and rocket systems provided by the U.S. and allies — including the High-Mobility Artillery Rocket System, or HIMARS, and the High-speed Anti-Radiation Missile, or HARM — have been key to the dramatic shift in momentum.

AUGUSTA, Maine — The Maine Bureau of Emergency Communications in Augusta is welcoming its new four-legged, tail-wagging member to the team.
Baxter, the 5-month-old chocolate Lab, will be the first comfort dog in the state for Maine's three Emergency Communication Centers, according to a release issued Thursday by Maine Department of Public Safety spokesperson Shannon Moss.
According to the release, Baxter's "mission" is to help provide "mood-boosting benefits" to first-line responders, as day in and day out they have to remain calm and quick while handling stress and trauma.
"We are excited to bring Baxter, the first Comfort Dog, to Maine and, I believe, New England,” Brodie Hinckley, the Maine Bureau of Emergency Communications director, said in the release. “Baxter will be part of our Dispatch Family and provide daily support for our first responders, the Emergency Telecommunicators. You can tell how much a dog has a therapeutic role and can de-escalate stressful situations while providing unconditional love and support to the crew on some of their most challenging days just by being present in the center."
To make it happen, the bureau partnered with a nonprofit, all-volunteer organization that's based out of New Hampshire called Hero Pups.
“We are thrilled to be working with the Maine Bureau of Emergency Communications and happy Brodie Hinckley found another way to help his community and staff,” Laura Barker, founder of Hero Pups, said in the release. “Brodie is the perfect person to be the handler for this pup and we look forward to working with him as we train Baxter.”
The release said Hero Pups works to train and pair dogs with first responders and veterans, working with mainly shelter and rescue dogs. The first responders and veterans are incorporated into the dogs' on-site training.
In addition to partnering with Hero Pups, the bureau was also able to receive Baxter thanks to AT&T.
“The dedicated women and men of Maine’s Emergency Communications Centers are public safety’s first line of response,” Owen Smith, president of AT&T Maine, said in the release. “They deal with traumatic events, often one after another, daily. That’s where Baxter comes in. With just a wag of his tail, this incredible pup will help decrease stress, boost morale, improve coping and so much more. He’s going to make a major impact at the Maine Bureau of Emergency Communications and in communities across the state."
Baxter hasn't yet made his debut at the bureau yet, as he is still finishing up his training at Hero Pups. According to the release, Baxter will continue training until he reaches a year old in April. Then, he will finally begin his duties to brighten up the days of our state's first responders.

Cassidy is no stranger to posting bikini snaps and risqué photos; however, this is never an invitation to send unwanted sexual photos.
Often her social media posts are simply to encourage other young women with similar body types to feel confident and embrace themselves.
As the digital space grows larger, cyber flashing is gaining more and more attention, with many people pushing for it to become a criminal offence.

Cyber flashing is only illegal for those under the age of 18, as it is covered by child exploitation laws in Australia and the UK.
Despite cyber flashing not being a criminal offence in itself, there are multiple areas in which cyber flashing could be classed as stalking, menace, causing offence or intent to insult a person.
Anyone who needs support can call 1800 RESPECT, the Sexual Assault Helpline on 1800 010 120, or Lifeline on 13 11 14.

HENDERSON, Nev. — Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Chandler Jones has had a big impact on his teammates since being signed in March.
Jones brought 10 years of experience with him, including the past six with the Arizona Cardinals, who visit Las Vegas this Sunday.
“We have a ton of respect for him,” Arizona coach Kliff Kingsbury said. “I think he’s obviously a freak when you talk physicality. A special, special player in that regard. But he’s always thinking about the next move, the next play, and how he’s going to beat a guy.”
Which is why Kingsbury had one message for Jones when the two were texting ahead of Sunday’s game.
“Don’t hold it against me when we chip you and edge you with the tight end and back every single play,” Kingsbury said, describing his text. “We’re going to try to handle him, but they’ve got two Hall of Fame rushers and we understand that, so we’ve got to have a good plan.”
Quite the compliment for Jones and fourth-year pro Maxx Crosby, who plays on the opposite end of the line.
But that’s the type of respect Jones has earned wherever he’s gone.
Second-year defensive end Malcolm Koonce said Jones has made it easier to see things thanks to the simplest explanations during meetings.
“It’s like the little things that you have never really noticed,” Koonce said. “He’s a character, he’s a free spirit. All the time at practice he be in his own world, he be powering up. He’s a fun guy to watch. You can tell that he comes in every day and he enjoys what he does.”
Whether it’s providing Adams with that daily dose of positive mindset or naturally assuming some of the leadership responsibility from his co-captains, Jones has made his presence known by being himself.
“Chandler taught me no matter how high you get in this lifetime, stay humble; be you,” second-year cornerback Nate Hobbs said. “I see him and I see a human being. Not nobody on a pedestal, not a man who’s got paid over $100 million over his career, not a guy who’s a rah-rah guy — he’s just a human being. He comes here, he does his job, he leads by example, and not by words. I think those are the best leaders. I see a real genuine man.”
It’s how he was raised, and he said his humility stems from having his dream job.
That, and building camaraderie with his new teammates, has kept a smile on his face since joining the Raiders.
“To have the opportunity to play, it’s just humbling in itself,” said Jones, whose 107 1/2 sacks rank No. 1 since he entered the league in 2012. “As long as I’ve been in the league, it was a little different going to a new team, because I haven’t done it in a while. But you kind of get that first day of school feeling, you don’t want to say or do the wrong things.
“But going through camp, learning new guys, their names, just asking about them, their families, their friends. It’s just the camaraderie, networking. I enjoy learning a new group of guys.”
There’s nothing he needs to learn about former teammate Kyler Murray, and the Cardinals’ star quarterback knows what he’s up against.
“He’s a student of the game, he loves it,” Murray said. “He’s like a Zen master when it comes to the art of the pass rush, all the different ways to get to the quarterback. He loves to educate other up-and-coming pass rushers. I got to see a little of that at the Pro Bowl. He just loves it. It’s hard not to respect that.”
NOTES: RB Brandon Bolden (hamstring), C Andre James (concussion), S Tre’von Moehrig (hip) and LB Denzel Perryman (ankle) did not practice. CB Nate Hobbs (back) was a full participant, while CB Sam Webb (ankle) was limited.

Lula's lead over Bolsonaro edges higher ahead of Brazil election - Datafolha poll
RIO DE JANEIRO, Sept 15 (Reuters) - Brazil's presidential hopeful Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva leads incumbent Jair Bolsonaro by 12 points, a Thursday poll showed, while the far-right leader seeking reelection has lost the pace against his leftist rival's edge ahead of the Oct. 2 vote.
The survey by Datafolha showed Lula with 45% voter support versus 33% for Bolsonaro in the election's first round, compared with 45% and 34% respectively in the previous poll.

GOLDEN, Colo. (KDVR) — A pair of pit bulls attacked a 12-year-old boy and his 89-year-old grandmother in Golden, Colorado on Wednesday.
Police said they used stun guns and less-lethal shotguns to try and subdue the dogs — but without any effect. Both victims were hospitalized after the incident, which happened around 3:35 p.m.
“The dogs involved in the attack are currently contained and are not a threat to the public,” the Golden Police Department said in a news release. “The dogs are known to the two victims of the attack.”
The boy went to a neighbor’s house to call for help, police said. When officers arrived, they found blood leading into the home and found the dogs attacking the grandmother in the backyard.
Officers put themselves between the dogs and the woman, challenged them verbally and ultimately used Tasers and less-lethal shotguns to get the dogs away from her. But none of those methods worked.
“Less lethal options were not effective,” police said. Only once more officers arrived on the scene were they able to hold the dogs and rescue the woman.
She was transported to an area hospital with critical injuries. The boy was airlifted to a children’s hospital.

INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana's abortion ban took effect Thursday.
Anti-abortion groups like Right to Life call it a historic day.
"It's a chance for us to really sort of step up and show as a state that we can take care of and provide for both pregnant moms and their unborn babies," said Marc Tuttle, president of Right to Life Indianapolis.
Tuttle said the law allows for legal protection for the unborn and support for pregnant mothers.
"I feel like Hoosiers are generous enough that I feel like we're going to be there to support, to love, to help every Hoosier no matter their circumstances," said Tuttle.
The law does have some impacts. Some say they are unwilling to work or live in Indiana.
Oliver Grundmann was offered a leadership position at the IU School of Medicine, nearly 900 miles away from home.
"I had to think about it anyway, because relocating with family is always a little bit difficult if your significant other also has a full-time position," said Grundmann.
Grundmann said he decided not to take the position of director of the clinical pharmacology division, after putting his two young daughters first.
"For me, it was important to, without becoming too political as a private citizen, to have a future for them or to provide them with a future that provides them with autonomy over their bodies," said Grundmann.
Grundmann isn't the only one.
Niki Dolfi of Illinois said she's no longer considering IUPUI for her Ph.D. program.
"People think the Roe v. Wade issue is just about abortion, but it is not," said Dolfi.
Dolfi said she takes medications that have abortive features.
"One of the medications is used to treat ulcers," said Dolfi. "I never considered, 'Would I have appropriate medical access for just regular medications that I might need?' But now that I'm nearing the end of my master's program and looking at Ph.D. programs, my choices are Illinois or way on the West Coast or way on the East Coast."
Grundmann said he doesn't think he would feel differently about abortion laws if he didn't have children.
"It's such an impactful change in the legal landscape that I would still think, even without children and as a gay male, I would still say this is something that I would always support," said Grundmann.
Tuttle said the law shouldn't be an obstacle for anyone coming to Indiana.
"We're going to have more than enough professionals to be able to serve the needs of Hoosiers," said Tuttle.
Tuttle also said there will need to be more steps to ensure the abortion law is enforced.

Hungary is no longer a “full democracy” and the European Union needs to do everything to bring it back into line with European values, the European Parliament said on Thursday.
MEPs voted 433 in favour, 123 against, to now describe Hungary — ruled by populist Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who maintains close ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin — “a hybrid regime of electoral autocracy” in “serious breach” of EU democratic norms.
The vote was largely symbolic and does not change the course of the Union’s decision making, which requires unanimity of all 27 member states — including Hungary — to adopt major issues, such as sanctions on Russia.
ADVERTISEMENT
With their vote, the EU lawmakers roundly adopted a parliamentary resolution that said Hungary has been backsliding on democratic and fundamental rights since 2018 through the “deliberate and systematic efforts of the Hungarian government”.
The report said lack of action by EU institutions had exacerbated the degradation.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – Purrington’s Cat Lounge, the cat café that’s been giving feline lovers a place to sip and snuggle since 2015, announced Wednesday that it will close in November.
In a post on social media, owners Garrett Simpson and Helen Harris wrote that they made the decision after much thought and careful consideration.
“We have put our whole hearts and efforts into this small business and are very proud of its many great successes, including helping to build this community and finding permanent, loving homes for hundreds of wonderful cats,” they wrote.
Simpson explained a bit more to KOIN, saying the small business landscape has changed a lot since the couple took over Purrington’s in 2019. He said it’s become harder and harder for them to make their vision a reality.
They’ve poured their hearts and souls into the cat café and Simpson said not being able to operate it the way they want to feels disingenuous.
Like a cat with nine lives, the couple hopes the business will live on with a new owner. After all, Simpson and Harris are already the business’ second owner.
The cat café provides a safe place for cats to stay while they wait to find homes. It’s also a place where people can go to find a cat they’d like to adopt, spend time with pets if they can’t own one themselves, or grieve the loss of a loved animal companion.
Simpson said someone who has a heart to serve both animals and humans would be a great candidate to purchase the business.
“It is an honor to serve, and we want someone who will continue what we have been doing here, just as we did when we took over the business,” he said.
As for the cats, any that haven’t been adopted by Purrington’s final day will return to the Cat Adoption Team, the non-profit animal rescue that provides Purrington’s with its fantastic felines.
The Cat Adoption team said it’s loved partnering with Purrington’s Cat Lounge over the years and it is eager to speak to anyone who’s considering buying the business.
It said the closure shouldn’t have a significant negative impact on its adoptions because of its other adoption venues.
“Purrington’s has been a wonderful meeting place for cat lovers and a way for more people to learn about pet adoption, and that may be the biggest loss for the community if the cafe closes,” the Cat Adoption Team said in a statement.
Simpson said he doesn’t foresee selling the business to someone who doesn’t have plans to continue operating it as a cat cafe. He and Harris would rather walk away than sell it to someone who does not see it as a labor of love.
After November, the couple plans to rest, recharge, and visit family and friends they haven’t seen for years.
When asked if they’d ever open another cat lounge in the future, Simpson said, “You never know. We were involved with animal welfare before Purrington’s, and we will continue to do so after we close our doors for the final time.

HONOLULU (KHON) – A DNA comparison has led to an arrest in a cold murder case in Hawaii that dates back decades.
Honolulu police investigated after Nancy Elaine Anderson was found slain in her Waikiki apartment in January 1972.
There were no witnesses. Anderson’s roommate, who was asleep in another bedroom, as well neighbors, reported that they did not hear or see anything suspicious.
Anderson’s body was found after her roommate, believing Anderson had left for work already, heard water running in Anderson’s bathroom. She pushed the already ajar bedroom door open and discovered Anderson’s body on the floor.
According to police records, Anderson had stab wounds on her chest and there was blood in the bathroom, on the bed and on the floor on which she was found. There were also a number of bloodied towels in the apartment.
Police interviewed more than a dozen people but the investigation went cold after no viable leads were found.
Her brother said in 2019 that the family wanted answers, not revenge.
The Honolulu Police Department renewed their plead for information in 2020 after enlisting Parabon Nano Labs to assist with a DNA comparison.
“So we’re not looking so much for any kind of retribution or anything, we just simply want as much closure as closure can possibly give,” said Jack Anderson.
Police then worked with DNA technology company Parabon Nanolabs to create a sketch of a possible suspect.
Traditional forensic analysis looks at things like fingerprints and compares them with a national database of people already in the system — but this technology goes beyond that.
“The snapshot actually generates new information from that DNA, tells us more about that person, things that the police couldn’t have known before,” said Dr. Ellen Greytak, Parabon Nanolabs Snapshot Advance DNA Analysis Division director.
Honolulu police tracked down Tudor Chirila, Jr. — now 77 years old — and worked with police in Nevada and California to obtain a DNA sample from Chirila’s son in April 2022. According to officials, the sample linked blood that was found at the Anderson scene to his father.
A murder charge was officially filed against Chirila in Honolulu and he was arrested by police in Reno on Tuesday, Sept. 13.
A forensic DNA lecturer at Chaminade University said using a child can help skirt national and state databases of DNA, which only come back with a result if the person has previously been arrested or convicted.
“If the son is giving up a DNA profile, the son would inherit what they call a Y-STR profile and he would have the same Y-STR profile as his father, so that’s probably how they matched them up,” said Kari Inda, Chaminade University forensic DNA lecturer.
“So it’s really hard to say what are the chances of someone getting caught, but it’s definitely a lot more than in the 1970s,” Inda said.
Honolulu police said on Tuesday that Chirila’s extradition to Hawaii is pending.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) — Police say a set of remains found in Ohio last month belong to a woman missing since 2017.
Amy Hambrick, 29, was last seen in November 11, 2017. She was leaving Youngstown, Ohio, to visit a friend in North Jackson, but her family said she never made it.
“I know that there are people who know what happened to Amy,” Debby Dolin, Hambrick’s mother, told Nexstar’s WKBN in 2018.
On Tuesday morning, officials with the Youngstown Police Department confirmed that human bones, later identified as Hambrick’s remains, had been found in a wooded area on the east side of the city.
At the press conference, Chief of Detectives Capt. Jason Simon said the remains were found by a woman who was looking for her missing dog in the woods. They were wrapped in a cloth that was then taken to the Mahoning County Coroner’s Office.
The bones were assembled by Dr. Loren Lease of the anthropology department at Youngstown State University, and forensic dentists were able to identify Hambrick based on her jawbone and dental records, Simon said.
Because of the condition of the remains, the cause of death will be listed as undetermined, Simon said. He added that the case is actively under investigation.
“Someone knows what happened,” Simon said.
Although investigators know the bones had been in the woods for some time, there was no way to tell by their condition how long they had been in that location, or even how long it has been since Hambrick died, the chief said.
Detectives will be interviewing and reinterviewing anyone believed to have information, and further tests on the remains will be performed to determine if additional evidence can be found, according to Simon.
Since Hambrick’s disappearance, the Youngstown Police Department has used interviews, cadaver-searching dogs and warrants on electronic devices to try and find her, to no avail. Family members were also active in trying to find out what happened to her.
Hambrick also left behind a daughter, who was only 10 when she disappeared.
They “were like two peas in a pod,” Dolin told WKBN in 2018. “She misses her mommy so much.”
Three of Hambrick’s family members were at the press conference on Tuesday morning. They were ushered out by Mayor Jamael Tito Brown after officials were done speaking, so they would not have to answer questions from the media. Simon said in a statement that the family had asked for privacy.
The discovery of Hambrick pares the list of long-term missing person cases the Youngstown Police Department is working to 14. Simon urged anyone who may have information on any of those cases to contact police.

SEATTLE (AP) — A jury in King County has found a man not guilty on all counts in connection to a shooting in downtown Seattle that killed one person and injured six others.
The jury of seven men and five women reached their verdicts Thursday after a day of deliberations, finding Marquise Tolbert not guilty of first-degree murder in the death of Tanya Jackson, and six counts of first-degree assault, The Seattle Times reported.
Tolbert, 27, was tried separately from his co-defendant, William Tolliver, who is scheduled to go to trial on the same charges in November.
During Tolbert’s trial, his lawyers presented evidence that Tolbert fired in self-defense and that Seattle police detectives rushed to judgement in deciding Tolbert and Tolliver instigated the gunfight during the evening commute on Jan. 22, 2020.
The bullets that hit all of the victims came from Tolliver and Tolbert’s guns, but defense lawyer Emily Gause said video evidence showed someone had gone inside a McDonald’s to get rival gang member Jamel Jackson, who aggressively confronted the two men and brandished his gun.
Gause said said testimony at trial showed the lead Seattle detective didn’t analyze all of the video evidence from that night until June — and said it showed “Jamel Jackson came out (of the McDonald’s) and initiated the whole thing.”
Based on the shell casings found at the scene, Tolbert fired 10 rounds, Tolliver fired nine and Jackson fired at least five times while on the crowded sidewalk, according to the attorneys.
Tolbert and Tolliver were arrested together in Las Vegas over a week later.
Jackson, 24, pleaded guilty to second-degree unlawful possession of a firearm in August 2021 for his role in the incident, court records show. He was sentenced to 16 months in jail but by that time had already served about 19 months in custody, and was released.
Senior Deputy Prosecutor Jennifer Petersen declined to comment on the jury’s verdicts.

MIAMI (AP) — Kyle Schwarber hit his NL-leading 38th homer for Philadelphia in the playoff-contending Phillies' 5-3 loss to the Miami Marlins on Thursday night on Roberto Clemente Day throughout the majors.
Schwarber connected off Pablo López in the sixth with a solo shot to right-center. The Phillies began the day second in the NL wild-card race.
Miami rookie Jordan Groshans hit his first major league homer and Bryan De La Cruz also went deep and had four RBIs.
López (9-10) completed 6 2/3 innings, allowing two runs and six hits. López, the Marlins’ Roberto Clemente Award nominee, walked one and struck out five.
Brandon Marsh tripled, doubled and singled twice for the Phillies. They won the season series over Miami 12-7.
Groshans gave the Marlins an early lead with his shot to lead off the third. He drove Phillies starter Noah Syndergaad’s sinker into the left-field seats for his fourth consecutive hit after he went 3 for 3 on Wednesday. Syndergaard (9-10) gave up four runs, six hits, walked one and struck out three in six innings.
De La Cruz’s three-run blast in the fourth made it 4-0. The 434-foot drive bounced off the façade above left-center for De La Cruz’s ninth homer.
López’s outing ended after Bryson Stott’s two-out double in the seventh. Steven Okert relieved López and allowed Marsh’s RBI double that got the Phillies within 4-2.
Tanner Scott followed Okert in the eighth and gave up Nick Maton’s leadoff single and walked Schwarber. But Scott retired Jean Segura on a double play grounder and struck out Bryce Harper.
De La Cruz’s sacrifice fly in the eighth padded Miami’s lead.
Dylan Floro pitched the ninth and surrendered Marsh’s run-scoring single for his fifth save.
DIFFICULT STRETCH ENDS
For the Marlins, Thursday’s win concluded 31 of 36 games against post-season contenders. The Marlins were 7-24 during the stretch, which featured multiple series losses against the Phillies, Dodgers, and Braves. The Rays and Mets also beat the Marlins in single series. Miami’s only series win over a contender in the five-week span was against the Padres.
ROSTER MOVES
The Marlins placed RHP Tommy Nance (right groin strain) on the 15-day injured list retroactive to Wednesday and selected LHP Jake Fishman from Triple-A Jacksonville.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Phillies: INF Edmundo Sosa exited in the sixth because of right hamstring tightness. ... 1B Rhys Hoskins (right hand bruise) had treatment Thursday and is hopeful of returning soon. Hoskins was hit on the hand by a pitch from Edward Cabrera in the third inning Wednesday and was replaced in the bottom half. X-rays indicated no fracture. Marlins: OF Jorge Soler (low back spasms) was transferred to the 60-day injured list.
UP NEXT:
Phillies: LHP Ranger Suárez (9-5, 3.62) will start the opener of a three-game series at Atlanta on Friday. LHP Max Fried (13-6, 2.50) will start for the Braves.
Marlins: LHP Jesús Luzardo (8-10, 4.04) will start Miami’s three-game road set at Washington on Friday. The Nationals will go with Josiah Gray (7-9, 5.06).

ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE (AP) — The Vatican plans to keep open paths of dialogue with Russia, even if doing so “smells,” Pope Francis said Thursday, reaffirming Ukraine’s right to defend itself.
Francis spoke at length about Russia’s war in Ukraine and the need for peace during a press conference while traveling home from Kazakhstan. Francis had visited the former Soviet republic to participate in an interfaith peace conference that, in its final communique, called on all political leaders to stop conflict and bloodshed “in all corners of our world.”
Francis has long touted the need for dialogue, even with antagonists and countries that are hostile to the Catholic Church. He reaffirmed that policy in comments about Russia, China and even Nicaragua, where the government has been cracking down on the church.
“I don’t exclude dialogue with any power that is in war, even if it’s the aggressor,” Francis said. “It smells, but you have to do it. Always take a step forward, with the hand outstretched, because the alternative is to close the only reasonable door to peace.”
In that vein, Francis had hoped his trip to Nur-Sultan in Kazakhstan would provide a chance to meet with the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, who has justified the Kremlin’s war in Ukraine on spiritual and ideological grounds. Patriarch Kirill bowed out of the conference last month, but his envoy who attended said another meeting was possible between the two world religious leaders but must be prepared well in advance.
At the same time, though, Francis affirmed that it was “morally acceptable” for Ukraine to receive weapons to defend itself against Moscow’s invasion. He said such a defense is not only right but “also an expression of love for your country.” But he said the motivation behind such fighting is key.
“It can be immoral if it’s done with the intention of provoking more war or selling weapons or getting rid of the weapons that you don’t need anymore,” he said.
Lamenting that wars are raging around the planet, he recalled that when he was 9 years old, in 1945, he learned the value of peace as word spread in Buenos Aires that World War II had ended.
“Even today, I can see my mother and the neighbor weeping with joy because the war had ended. We were in a South American country, far away. But these people, these women, knew that peace was bigger than all wars. And they wept with joy when peace was made.”
“I won’t ever forget that,” he said.

NEW YORK (AP) — For the big leaguers who saw him play, Roberto Clemente was a breathtaking talent and unmistakable force on the field who made a powerful impact on young ballplayers.
His selfless humanitarianism left a lasting impression, too.
Major League Baseball celebrated its 21st annual Roberto Clemente Day on Thursday, with festivities centered in New York, where the Mets hosted the Hall of Fame outfielder’s former team, the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Clemente died in a plane crash at age 38 attempting to deliver relief supplies to earthquake victims in Nicaragua on New Year’s Eve 1972. To mark the 50th anniversary year of that tragedy, more than a dozen winners of baseball’s treasured Roberto Clemente Award for philanthropy and playing excellence joined Clemente family members at Citi Field for the pregame ceremony.
“The most important trophy that I have in my house. Because it’s not just a trophy,” said former Mets slugger and 2006 winner Carlos Delgado, like Clemente a proud native of Puerto Rico.
Hall of Famers Dave Winfield and Jim Thome were among the Clemente Award winners introduced on the field before highlights of the 15-time All-Star’s life and career played on the large video board in center field.
Players and coaches from both teams — all wearing Clemente’s No. 21, as did some others around the majors — lined the baselines. Puerto Rican musician José Feliciano performed the national anthem of Puerto Rico and “The Star-Spangled Banner,” and Clemente’s 4-year-old grandson threw out a first pitch in an RC III Pirates jersey.
“It is a very special energy today,” said Luis Clemente, Roberto’s son. “The energy is totally different this year.”
Clemente, a cherished icon in baseball-loving Puerto Rico, became the first Caribbean and Latin American player enshrined in the Hall of Fame in 1973.
The strong-armed right fielder won 12 Gold Gloves, four batting titles and the 1966 NL MVP award. He helped lead the Pirates to a pair of championships in 18 brilliant seasons and was the 1971 World Series MVP.
“I came in the league in ’73. I knew who Roberto Clemente was and I was going to be a right fielder, so I watched the way he charged the ball, picked it up, threw people out. I wish (we) would have been able to play so we could test each other’s arms. But he was an incredible player and an even more incredible human being,” Winfield said.
“Before I go, man, that was one of the things that I wanted to do was win this Roberto Clemente Award, because it would just acknowledge some of the work that had been done throughout my career,” he added. “I missed him by a year. But his legacy continues and we’re all part of that.”
Clemente got his 3,000th hit in his final at-bat, a double off Mets left-hander Jon Matlack on Sept. 30, 1972.
“You look back through the history and some of the things he did and what he means,” Mets manager Buck Showalter said, “it’s a great thing baseball is doing.”
“I think of him catching the ball down the right field line and spinning and throwing,” Showalter added, noting he swung a Roberto Clemente model bat in high school. “I think about his reckless abandon and how loud a runner he was. Can you imagine what it was like trying to tag him at second, coming in, back when you could actually slide with your spikes and stay hooked to the bag because it wasn’t hard and plastic and slick?”
There’s been a push in recent years for MLB to retire Clemente’s No. 21 for all teams, the way the sport did in 1997 to honor Dodgers pioneer Jackie Robinson for breaking baseball’s color barrier 50 years earlier.
“It’s a situation where I think it is gaining more momentum,” Pirates manager Derek Shelton said. “I think today’s one of the best days of the year.”

The life and crimes of gruesome serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer are about to be chronicled in the upcoming true-crime scripted drama, Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, with Evan Peters portraying the man who became known as the “Milwaukee Cannibal.”
Ahead of its debut on Netflix, the streaming platform shared the first teaser, giving fans a brief glimpse at the series created by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan and also starring Richard Jenkins as Lionel Dahmer, Molly Ringwald as Shari Dahmer, Michael Learned as Catherine Dahmer and Niecy Nash as Glenda Cleveland.
From 1978 until his arrest in 1991, Dahmer terrorized America by taking the lives of 17 men and boys. According to Netflix, Dahmer “is a series that exposes these unconscionable crimes, centered around the underserved victims and their communities impacted by the systemic racism and institutional failures of the police that allowed one of America’s most notorious serial killers to continue his murderous spree in plain sight for over a decade.”
The series, meanwhile, marks Peters’ latest collaboration with Murphy after previously starring in nine installments of American Horror Story as well as Pose. It also follows his Emmy-winning turn as a detective on the HBO limited series Mare of Easttown, which required a far more restrained and grounded performance -- a notable departure from his work on AHS.
“I just love to go big. I think it’s so fun, and some of my favorite actors are very big actors. But this was an opportunity to go the opposite direction,” Peters previously told ET about the challenge of doing something different onscreen. And given the nature of Mare, “we wanted to make it very natural and real and sort of toned down,” the actor continued, explaining that “it was an opportunity to take everything down a notch and be a little more still and subdued.”
That said, it’s likely audiences will get a mix of both from Peters, who has played killers before -- but not one as notorious and as dark as Dahmer.
In addition to Dahmer, Netflix also has a new true-crime docuseries, Conversations With a Killer: The Jeffrey Dahmer Tapes, that will feature unearthed recorded interviews with the convicted killer. The Dahmer Tapes mark the third installment in longtime director Joe Berlinger’s Conversations With a Killer series, with the first two focused on Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy.

College professor fired after allegedly elbowing student
By KCAL Staff
Click here for updates on this story
LONG BEACH, California (KCAL) — Long Beach City College professor Dr. Kashara Moore was fired Wednesday night after the college’s Board of Trustees voted 3-2 to let her go due to allegations that she elbowed a student in June.
Moore was caught on video during the college’s June commencement ceremony elbowing a student.
Moore has worked at the college for the last 10 years as a part-time faculty member. She was placed on paid administrative leave following the incident, according to the Long Beach Post.
Moore spoke at the hearing Wednesday night and claimed that the elbow was an accident.
The LB Post reported that incident started when Moore, who was announcing names during the graduation ceremony, mispronounced student Carmina Barraza’s name.
Barraza allegedly asked Moore to pronounce it correctly.
The Long Beach Community College District released this statement to CBSLA Reporter Rina Nakano:
“Long Beach Community College District takes seriously the safety of our students to ensure their academic success. Last night the Board of Trustees upheld the recommendation to terminate Dr. Kashara Moore’s employment with the District. The Board weighted the totality of evidence and facts in making its final decision. There have been intentional false and misleading narratives circulating about this incident. The Board hopes that this statement and additional information provides more clarification and fully explains the investigation and independent legal review that took place,” the statement read.
Nakano will be live from Long Beach City College with a live report at KCAL9 News at 4 p.m. and CBS2 News at 5 and 6 p.m. with more details.

Researchers have made a remarkable discovery after finding the world's oldest heart inside of a prehistoric fish.
The 380-million-year-old heart was preserved inside of the fossilized remains of the prehistoric Gogo fish. According to scientists, it is a piece of history from a pivotal moment in evolution for the heart, vital in pumping blood throughout a living body.
We’ve found a 380-million-year-old heart in a Gogo fish from the Kimberley.
— Dr Kate Trinajstic (@KateTRINAJSTIC) September 15, 2022
It’s in @ScienceMagazine, https://t.co/7pTp1F9s6z.
Thank you to my co-authors... pic.twitter.com/UBN2ZahEFR
The discovery was made in Western Australia. Professor Kate Trinajstic from Curtin University in Perth said the moment she and her colleagues made the discovery, she realized it was the most significant find of their lives, the BBC reported.
We were crowded around the computer and recognized that we had a heart and pretty much couldn't believe it! It was incredibly exciting," she said.
And people online had fun with the news, with writer David Barnett saying the Gogo fish sounds "hip and beat."
I like that we’re descended from a Gogo fish. Sounds hip and beat. https://t.co/Mx0WZ5WIgC
— David M Barnett (@davidmbarnett) September 15, 2022
Prof John Long from Flinders University in Adelaide was a collaborator on the study and said the discovery was "a mind-boggling, jaw-dropping discovery."
Researchers have not known anything about the soft organs of an animal this old until now.
The Gogo fish is a class of fish from prehistoric times called placoderms. They were the first fish to have jaws and teeth.
Scientists found that the heart was much more forward in the body than that of other primitive fish.
Dr Zerina Johanson of the Natural History Museum in London, said, "A lot of the things you see we still have in our own bodies; jaws and teeth, for example. We have the first appearance of the front fins and the fins at the back, which eventually evolved into our arms and legs."
Johanson said, "There are many things going on in these placoderms that we see evolving to ourselves today such as the neck, the shape and arrangement of the heart and its position in the body."
Dr Martin Brazeau, a placoderm expert at Imperial College London, said, "The fishes that my colleagues and I are studying are part of our evolution. This is part of the evolution of humans and other animals that live on land and the fishes that live in the sea today."

Mumbai: An actor known for his role in the Marathi blockbuster movie "Sairat", will be probed for his alleged role in a case of cheating registered in Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra, police said on Thursday.
The actor, Suraj Pawar, who had played the role of 'Prince Dada' in the Nagraj Manjule-directed movie, will be called for an inquiry into the case, an official said.
Pawar had also worked in Manjule's national award-winning short film "Pistulya" and "Fandry".
"He will be called for an inquiry in connection with the case, in which the complainant had accused three other persons of cheating him on the false promise of offering a government job to him in the state secretariat - Mantralaya," he said.
The Ahmednagar police had on September 9 busted a racket by arresting three persons, who were involved in cheating people by offering government jobs in Mantralaya, he said.
"The gang members had promised a government job to the complainant in this case and demanded Rs 5 lakh for the recruitment order. The complainant had paid Rs 2 lakh cash to the accused persons at the guest house of the agriculture university at Rahuri in Ahmednagar district,' the official said adding Rs 3 lakh were to be paid after getting the joining order.
The accused persons had created fake orders of the state General Administration Department with the help of computer graphics, he said.
During a search, the police team found three forged joining orders, government's stamp and seals from the accused persons, he said.
"During their interrogation, the two arrested accused told the police that they had created stamps and seals with the help of Suraj Pawar," the official said.
One of the accused accompanying Pawar had gone to a stamp vendor and told him that they needed a stamp and seal for the film shooting and that it will not be misused, he said.
"As per the available evidence, Pawar is an accused in the case," he said, adding that the police will investigate his role and further action will be taken accordingly.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — CSX has hired an auto industry executive to lead the railroad after its current CEO retires.
Jacksonville, Florida-based CSX Corp. said Thursday that Joe Hinrichs will take over from Jim Foote at the end of this month. Hinrichs previously served as president of Ford Motor Co.’s global auto business.
Hinrichs said in an interview with The Associated Press he’s very excited that CSX and the other major railroads were able to reach a tentative contract agreement Thursday with unions to prevent a potentially devastating national strike.
“Our employees are going to get a well-deserved raise after working so hard the last couple years through the pandemic,” Hinrichs said. “We’re excited about moving from here. Now we can move our conversation into how do we work together to grow the business and better serve our customers.”
The railroads have been plagued with delivery delays that prompted shippers to complain loudly this year about poor service. Federal regulators got involved and ordered the railroads to address the problems.
But improvement has come slowly. CSX and the other major railroads each needed to hire and train hundreds of additional workers, and that has been difficult amid the ongoing nationwide labor shortage.
Hinrichs said he hopes the new union contracts will help CSX attract and retain more employees.
He said he knows the railroad business as a customer, but not the details of its operations. He has been studying up on the Precision Scheduled Railroading model that CSX has used to slash its costs in recent years and will plan to lean on the expertise of CSX’s managers.
“Fortunately, we have a very strong operating team here at CSX that has implemented Precision Scheduled Railroading in the last couple years,” Hinrichs said. “The results have been outstanding. Many people believe CSX is a leader in that regard.”
Hinrichs said he has “read all the books that Hunter Harrison put out” and has been talking to people in the industry to learn more. Harrison originated the Precision Scheduled Railroading model when he led the Canadian railroads and implemented it at CSX before his death.
The model relies on using fewer, longer trains with a mix of freight on them, so railroads can operate with fewer locomotives and employees. Since CSX put it in place, the model has been widely adopted by other U.S. railroads. Collectively, the major U.S. railroads have used the model to cut nearly one-third of their workforce over the past six years.
Foote agreed to remain on as an advisor through March to help with the transition.
CSX is one of the nation’s largest railroads, and it operates more than 20,000 miles (32,000 kilometers) of track in 26 Eastern states and two Canadian provinces after acquiring Pam-Am Railways in the northeastern United States earlier this year.

MIAMI (AP) — Kyle Schwarber hit his NL-leading 38th homer for Philadelphia in the playoff-contending Phillies' 5-3 loss to the Miami Marlins on Thursday night on Roberto Clemente Day throughout the majors.
Schwarber connected off Pablo López in the sixth with a solo shot to right-center. The Phillies began the day second in the NL wild-card race.
Miami rookie Jordan Groshans hit his first major league homer and Bryan De La Cruz also went deep and had four RBIs.
López (9-10) completed 6 2/3 innings, allowing two runs and six hits. López, the Marlins’ Roberto Clemente Award nominee, walked one and struck out five.
Brandon Marsh tripled, doubled and singled twice for the Phillies. They won the season series over Miami 12-7.
Groshans gave the Marlins an early lead with his shot to lead off the third. He drove Phillies starter Noah Syndergaad’s sinker into the left-field seats for his fourth consecutive hit after he went 3 for 3 on Wednesday. Syndergaard (9-10) gave up four runs, six hits, walked one and struck out three in six innings.
De La Cruz’s three-run blast in the fourth made it 4-0. The 434-foot drive bounced off the façade above left-center for De La Cruz’s ninth homer.
López’s outing ended after Bryson Stott’s two-out double in the seventh. Steven Okert relieved López and allowed Marsh’s RBI double that got the Phillies within 4-2.
Tanner Scott followed Okert in the eighth and gave up Nick Maton’s leadoff single and walked Schwarber. But Scott retired Jean Segura on a double play grounder and struck out Bryce Harper.
De La Cruz’s sacrifice fly in the eighth padded Miami’s lead.
Dylan Floro pitched the ninth and surrendered Marsh’s run-scoring single for his fifth save.
DIFFICULT STRETCH ENDS
For the Marlins, Thursday’s win concluded 31 of 36 games against post-season contenders. The Marlins were 7-24 during the stretch, which featured multiple series losses against the Phillies, Dodgers, and Braves. The Rays and Mets also beat the Marlins in single series. Miami’s only series win over a contender in the five-week span was against the Padres.
ROSTER MOVES
The Marlins placed RHP Tommy Nance (right groin strain) on the 15-day injured list retroactive to Wednesday and selected LHP Jake Fishman from Triple-A Jacksonville.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Phillies: INF Edmundo Sosa exited in the sixth because of right hamstring tightness. ... 1B Rhys Hoskins (right hand bruise) had treatment Thursday and is hopeful of returning soon. Hoskins was hit on the hand by a pitch from Edward Cabrera in the third inning Wednesday and was replaced in the bottom half. X-rays indicated no fracture. Marlins: OF Jorge Soler (low back spasms) was transferred to the 60-day injured list.
UP NEXT:
Phillies: LHP Ranger Suárez (9-5, 3.62) will start the opener of a three-game series at Atlanta on Friday. LHP Max Fried (13-6, 2.50) will start for the Braves.
Marlins: LHP Jesús Luzardo (8-10, 4.04) will start Miami’s three-game road set at Washington on Friday. The Nationals will go with Josiah Gray (7-9, 5.06).

SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) — The U.S. Embassy in Sarajevo on Thursday described claims by the Bosnian Serb leader that his security services are eavesdropping on the American ambassador to Sarajevo as “blustering” and added that his separatist policies are “gambling” with the future of the Serb entity in the Balkan state.
Milorad Dodik, a member of Bosnia’s tripartite presidency, claimed at a pre-election rally Wednesday that the Bosnian Serb spying agency is now capable of listening to the conversations by U.S. Ambassador Michael Murphy and his staff.
“We also listening in on to them now, it’s not only them listening in on us,” Dodik told his supporters. “I know what they are talking about.”
He said this was not possible to do this just a few years ago.
“What we say in private is the same as what we say in public — the United States remains committed to Bosnia and Herzegovina’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, and multiethnic character and we will respond to any destabilizing, anti-Dayton activity,” the U.S. Embassy tweeted, referring to a 1995 peace deal reached in Dayton, Ohio, between Bosniaks, Serbs and Croats that ended a war that left at least 100,000 people dead and millions homeless.
Although the peace deal ended the bloodshed, it left Bosnia deeply divided between the Bosniak-Croat federation and the Serb entity called Republika Srpska. Dodik has openly been striving to split the Serb entity from Bosnia and join it with neighboring Serbia.
“All of Mr. Dodik’s blustering cannot change the fundamental fact that the RS is not a state. It is one of BiH’s two entities,” the embassy tweet said. “His pursuit of an “Independent Srpska in BIH” isn’t protecting the RS or its residents, it is gambling with their future.”
Dodik, known for his staunchly pro-Russian stance, has been under U.S. financial and travel sanctions since January after the Biden administration accused him of “corrupt activities” that threaten to destabilize the region.
Media in Bosnia say Dodik is among politicians in more than two dozen countries who since 2014 were paid by Russia in exchange for exerting pro-Kremlin influence. According to a newly declassified review by U.S. intelligence agencies Russia has spent at least $300 million to sway both politics and policy in those states.
There are fears in the West that Russia is — through the Bosnian Serbs and its Balkan ally Serbia — working on destabilizing Bosnia to shift at least part of world attention from its war on Ukraine.
Celebrating a recently established holiday that promotes Serb unity in the Balkans, Dodik said joining Serbia remains the main goal for Bosnian Serbs.
“Today Serbs have two states, Republika Srpska and Serbia, but we will always strive to fight for unity,” he said.
Serbia’s populist President Aleksandar Vucic attended the celebrations in northern Bosnia on Thursday, saying “the historical moment demands that we unite and together defeat the madness that can turn these regions into a slaughterhouse again.”

HONOLULU (AP) — Federal prosecutors in Hawaii have announced bribery and public corruption charges against a Hawaii business owner and a Maui County official.
Court documents unsealed Thursday accuse Milton Choy, the owner of a Honolulu company that provides wastewater services and supplies, of bribing Stewart Olani Stant, who was a wastewater manager and then director of the Maui County Department of Environmental Management.
U.S. Attorney for Hawaii Clare Connors said at a news conference Thursday that the case is among the largest bribery investigations in state history. She said Choy provided Stant with more than $2 million in cash and gifts that included direct deposits to Stant’s bank accounts, cash, gambling chips and trips to Las Vegas.
In return, prosecutors said Choy received upwards of $19 million in business contracts from the county.
Messages left for Stant on various social media sites were not immediately returned. Listed phone numbers had been disconnected.
Choy took responsibility for his actions and admitted everything he did to federal investigators, said his attorney Michael Green.
“He gave unprotected statements — that’s where you don’t ask for a lawyer and you you sit down with the agents and tell them what you did. And he did that. And he was he candid the whole time and told them everything he knew about corruption,” Green said.
If found guilty, Connors said, Choy would be required to forfeit assets up to $15 million and face up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. If convicted, Stant would be required to forfeit $2 million, faces up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
The two will be arraigned in federal court on Monday.
Connors said investigators were tipped off by a member of the public.
“When we received the information from this member of the public, our investigators and prosecutors took a look at it and thought this is significant,” Connors said. “It is certainly among one of the largest bribery cases that our our office has investigated and prosecuted.”
Steven Merrill, the FBI special agent in charge of the Honolulu office, said the agency’s work investigating corrupt public officials in Hawaii is not done.
“Public corruption is the FBI’s number one criminal investigative priority because corrupt public officials undermine the public’s trust and confidence in our government,” he said. “Both individuals individually profited from the scheme, but with no regard to the fact that the citizens of Maui County would be defrauded. They were emboldened to continue the scheme for many years until their greed caught up with them.”
Connors said that Choy was among the first people arrested in recent public corruption investigations and that he cooperated with investigators in cases against two Hawaii state lawmakers who were also prosecuted for taking bribes.
The lawmakers were accused of accepting bribes in exchange for shaping legislation while in office. They both pleaded guilty in February.
Rep. Ty Cullen resigned from the state House of Representatives shortly before federal prosecutors announced charges against him and former Senate Majority Leader J. Kalani English.
As part of their agreements to plead guilty, English must forfeit about $15,000 and Cullen agreed to forfeit $23,000, representing the amounts of cash they received.
Cullen is due to be sentenced on Oct. 20. English was sentenced in July to three years and four months.

The AEP Foundation on Thursday awarded a $250,000 three-year grant to support the YMCA before- and after-school enrichment programs and summer day camps.
The YMCA of Greater Fort Wayne said the grant, recommended by Indiana Michigan Power, will enrich the lives of more than 1,300 students returning to school through before- and after-school programs that include STEM education and character development.
The program provides education in science, technology, engineering and math, or STEM, as well as reading and other academics.
The enrichment programs also offer nature exploration, the arts, health and wellness, character development, physical activities and more, according to a news release. In addition, healthy snacks or meals are provided daily.
Through the programs, the YMCA staff helps youth develop values, skills and relationships that lead to positive behaviors and provide a solid foundation for success in school and life.
The AEP Foundation grant is providing financial assistance to make the Y available for all students throughout Allen County to participate in after-school programs and summer day camps.
“We believe in the importance of strong families. Quality childcare in summer day camp and after-school programs is one way we can support parents and students to reach their full potential,” said Marty Pastura, interim president and CEO for the YMCA of Greater Fort Wayne.
“We are grateful to the AEP Foundation, whose support makes YMCA childcare programs accessible to all families by removing financial barriers,” he added.
Dave Lucas, I&M vice president for regulatory and finance and a member of the YMCA of Greater Fort Wayne board of directors, commented on the grant, which was presented Thursday at Holland Elementary School.
“The AEP Foundation and I&M are pleased to provide support that enables more youth to have a safe, enriching experience after the school day concludes and during the summer,” he said in a statement.

NEW YORK (AP) — Nike released the United States’ World Cup jerseys Thursday, including a mostly white design for home matches that was criticized in advance by a pair of American players and some fans.
The home jerseys have red and blue stripes on each sleeve, somewhat similar to the stripes down each side of the Americans’ 2002 World Cup uniforms.
“We just as angry as y’all !!!” forward Tim Weah wrote last month after a version of the home jersey was posted online.
“Tried to tell them,” midfielder Weston McKennie wrote.
The bright blue away jersey has an ice-dying technique somewhat akin to a tie-dye pattern.
More than 100 people signed a change.org online petition calling for different designs.
“I rate it in the middle,” American midfielder Yunus Musah said during an Aug. 25 conference call. putting his right thumb sideways. “It’s not there,” he said with a thumbs up, then flipping to a thumbs down, “or there. It’s the middle.”
Donald Wine, a national board member of the American Outlaws supporters group, said he likely will purchase one of the new jerseys but hoped Nike and the U.S. Soccer Federation would take criticism into account in future designs. Wine said fans prefer a more distinctive look the team could become known for, such as Croatia’s adoption of a checkerboard pattern.
As an example, Wine cited the red and white horizontal stripes of the 2012-13 U.S. jersey that became known as Waldo, after the character’s attire in a children’s book.
“The outcry is not necessarily over the design of the jersey, or at least lack of design on the home, but it’s about the fact that I think a lot of people are looking for a jersey identity to call their own,” Wine said. “I am one of those people who have been long in the team Waldo camp for it being a permanent national team jersey. I think in the end people just want a jersey identity and these don’t do that. ”
Aaron Barnett, senior product director of Nike global football apparel, said Rolando Cruz, the apparel product line manager, coordinated with the USSF on the design.
“We know that our products always will elicit response,” Barnett said. “We’ve been doing products for multiple sports, not just soccer. And so we’re going to have some athletes that are super-excited about it and some they’re not excited about. And that’s just the balance that you always have in the process.”
The U.S. is back in the World Cup for this year’s tournament in Qatar after failing to qualify for 2018. The Americans open Nov. 21 against Wales
Barnett said most of the jersey manufacturing takes place in Asia. He said he did not know whether the workers who manufactured the kits were unionized.
Nike took over as the USSF equipment supplier in 1995 from Adidas, which had provided uniforms since 1973. The USSF announced a longterm extension with Nike last November without specifying a length.
Nike released the jerseys of 12 of its 13 World Cup teams Thursday: Australia, Brazil, Canada, Croatia, France, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and South Korea. The company delayed announcing England’s designs until Sept. 21 following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
Adidas supplies seven — Argentina, Belgium, Germany, Japan, Mexico, Spain and Wales — and Puma six — Ghana, Morocco, Senegal, Serbia, Switzerland and Uruguay.
New Balance has Costa Rica and Panama, while four brands have one each Errea (Iceland), Hummel (Denmark), Marathon (Ecuador) and Majid (Iran).
Defending champion France has jerseys inspired by Toile de Jouy fabric that includes subtle prints of famous landmarks, such as the Arc de Triomphe, the Old Mill of Vernon, a Romanesque tower

Money supply up in July on rate hike-induced deposit growth
SEOUL, Sept. 16 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's money supply grew in July from a month earlier as rising interest rates induced an increase in deposits, central bank data showed Friday.
The country's M2, a key gauge of the money supply, stood at 3,719.5 trillion won (US$2.66 trillion) on average in July, up 10.4 trillion won, or 0.3 percent, from a month earlier, according to the preliminary data from the Bank of Korea (BOK).
Compared with a year earlier, the money supply expanded 8 percent, though its growth was slower than the previous month's on-year rise of 8.8 percent.
M2 is a measure of the money supply that counts cash, demand deposits and other easily convertible financial instruments.
The increase came in part from a rise in deposits encouraged by the BOK's move to hike its policy rate to rein in inflation.
The BOK has hiked the rate seven times by a combined 2 percentage points since August last year, pushing up deposit rates at local lenders.
Time deposits, in particular, jumped 21 trillion won on-month in July, as money was attracted for stable interest income amid growing economic uncertainty, the BOK said.

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — Just hours after a Montana judge blocked health officials from enforcing a state rule that would prevent transgender people from changing the gender on their birth certificate, the Republican-run state on Thursday said it would defy the order.
District Court Judge Michael Moses chided attorneys for the state during a hearing in Billings for circumventing his April order that temporarily blocked a 2021 Montana law that made it harder to change birth certificates.
Moses said there was no question that state officials violated his earlier order by creating the new rule. Moses said his order reinstates a 2017 Department of Public Health and Human Services rule that allowed people to update the gender on their birth certificate by filing an affidavit with the department.
However, the state said it would disregard the ruling.
“The Department thoroughly evaluated the judge’s vague April 2022 decision and crafted our final rule to be consistent with the decision. It’s unfortunate that the judge’s ruling today does not square with his vague April decision,” said Charlie Brereton, director of the Department of Public Health and Human Services.
Brereton said the agency was keeping the rule it issued last week in place and an agency spokesperson said the department is waiting to see the judge’s written order before considering its next steps.
ACLU attorney Malita Picasso expressed dismay with the agency’s stance and said officials should immediately start processing requests for birth certificate changes.
“It’s shocking that after this morning’s hearing the department would allege there was any lack of clarity in the court’s ruling from the bench,” Picasso said. “It was very clear that Judge Moses expressly required a reversion to the 2017 policy, and anything short of that is a continued flagrant violation of the court’s order.”
Such open defiance of judge’s order is very unusual from a government agency, said Carl Tobias, a former University of Montana Law School professor now at the University of Richmond. When officials disagree with a ruling, the typical response is to appeal to a higher court, he said.
“Appeal is what you contemplate — not that you can nullify a judge’s orders. Otherwise, people just wouldn’t obey the law,” Tobias said. “The system can’t work that way.”’
The move could leave state officials open to contempt of court charges, which in some cases can lead to jail time for offenders, Tobias said. He added that the attorneys representing the state were likely aware of the potential consequences but were “caught in the middle” between a recalcitrant agency and the judge.
The legal dispute comes as conservative lawmakers in numerous states have sought to restrict transgender rights, including with bans on transgender girls competing in girls school sports.
The Montana law said people had to have a “surgical procedure” before they could change the sex listed on their birth certificate, something Moses found to be unconstitutional because it did not specify what type of procedure was required.
Gov. Greg Gianforte’s administration then created a new rule that blocked changes to birth certificates entirely, unless there was a clerical error.
Moses said during Thursday morning’s hearing that his April ruling had been “clear as a bell” and compared the state’s subsequent actions to a person twice convicted of assault who tries to change their name following a third accusation to avoid a harsher punishment.
“Isn’t that exactly what happened here?” Moses asked. “I’m a bit offended the department thinks they can do anything they want.”
One of the plaintiffs in the case, Amelia Marquez, said she was disgusted by the state’s response.
“We have people that think that they’re above the law and don’t have to listen to the judiciary branch of our government,” she said.
After learning the state planned to defy the court order, Shawn Reagor with the Montana Human Rights Network said the organization “will not stand by while the Gianforte administration blatantly disregards rulings from the courts to continue a vindictive attack on the trans community.”
Only Tennessee, Oklahoma and West Virginia have sweeping prohibitions against birth certificate changes similar to what Montana has pursued, advocates for transgender rights say. Bans in Idaho and Ohio were struck down in 2020.
A Republican lawmaker who voted in favor of the 2021 law suggested Moses was biased in favor of the plaintiffs in the case. Moses was appointed to the court by former Gov. Steve Bullock, a Democrat.
“Like clockwork, Judge Moses issued yet another predetermined order in favor of liberal plaintiffs without thoroughly engaging with the legal issues at hand,” Sen. Greg Hertz of Polson said in a statement.
The ACLU of Montana had asked Moses to clarify his order after the state health department enacted its new temporary rule effectively banning birth certificate changes a month after Moses handed down his temporary injunction in the case. That rule was made permanent last week.
The state argued the injunction did not prevent the health department from making rules, but Moses said under case law the injunction reinstated the 2017 rules and any other changes are on hold while the case is decided.
State officials denied that the new rule preventing birth certificate changes was adopted in bad faith. Montana Assistant Solicitor Kathleen Smithgall said the state came up with the new rule to fill a gap in regulations after the 2021 law was blocked.
“Judge Moses mischaracterized the words of his own order, the parties’ motives, and the state of the law,” said Kyler Nerison, a spokesperson for Attorney General Austin Knudsen.

When BYU played at Oregon 32 years ago, there were two little-known subplots to the game of which many people may not know. Both had an impact on the contest, and one of them almost damaged Ty Detmer’s chances to win the Heisman Trophy.
BYU had won its first four games that season, including the dramatic win over No. 1-ranked Miami in Provo. Following the win over the Hurricanes, BYU defeated Washington State and San Diego State. The SDSU game broke a trend of close, exciting games with the Aztecs with BYU waltzing to a 62-34 victory.
BYU was 4-0 and ranked fourth in The Associated Press poll when it headed to Eugene. What most people didn’t know was that Detmer had injured his throwing hand during the SDSU game and had hardly thrown a ball in practice the week before. There was some question as to whether he would be able to play.
BYU coaches of course kept the information about the injury tightly under wraps. LaVell Edwards called me into his office to tell me about the injury. He asked me not to say anything to the media about it. Nothing came up about the injury until Brent Musburger from ABC showed up in Provo to watch practice. He was scheduled to broadcast the game on Saturday. After watching the team work out, he came to my office with a question.
“I noticed that Ty Detmer wasn’t throwing the ball,” he said. “Is there something wrong with him?” I can’t remember what I said to get out of the situation, but I talked my way around it without really answering. Somehow, news about the injury stayed out of the media, and BYU headed to Eugene intending to start Detmer.
I was nervous about the situation. I knew the nation would be watching Detmer, the prohibitive favorite to win the Heisman, and if he had an off day, it might put doubt in the minds of the voters. I secretly wished the news of the injury had leaked so that people would understand if he had a bad day.
I sat in the press box and watched BYU get dominated by the Ducks. Detmer was obviously not his normal self. He completed 33 of 57 passes for 442 yards and two touchdowns. Those are pretty good stats; however, he also threw five interceptions and was sacked five times as the team lost, 32-16.
Edwards made no mention of Detmer’s injury in postgame interviews, so the injury remained a secret. The reviews of Detmer’s performance after the game were not positive, and his Heisman stock dropped significantly. Instead of being a shoe-in to win the award, he had dropped back into a pack of contenders that included Raghib “Rocket” Ismail of Notre Dame, Eric Bieniemy of Colorado, Shawn Moore of Virginia and David Klingler of Houston.
Fortunately, Detmer rebounded, played well the rest of the season and won the Heisman with 1,482 votes compared to 1,177 for Ismail.
The second subplot of the game involved Autzen Stadium’s artificial turf and BYU’s Nike shoes. The day of the game it was a pleasant 70 degrees and sunny. For some reason, Oregon’s groundskeepers had sprinklers on the field to wet down the carpet before the game. This was the older version of artificial turf that was essentially a carpet with padding underneath, not the Field Turf used on most of the fields today. We couldn’t figure out why they were watering the field, although we were assured they did it before every game.
When the game started, BYU’s players had trouble with their footing and were slipping when they went to cut. It happened multiple times, to the point the TV announcers mentioned that BYU apparently was wearing the wrong shoes for the turf.
Phil Knight, founder of Nike and a huge Oregon supporter, was in his private box watching the game and sent a messenger to the TV booth to tell them to stop criticizing BYU’s shoes. BYU and Oregon were both wearing Nike shoes, although BYU’s were a different style than Oregon’s. I don’t recall if BYU made shoe adjustments at halftime, but the “traction” issue had definitely impacted BYU in the first half.
Both of these little-known situations contributed to BYU’s loss all those years ago, although the main reason for the loss was that Oregon outplayed BYU. BYU dropped from No. 4 to No. 11 in the AP poll after the loss but went on to win six straight before being drubbed by Hawaii on the same day Detmer was named winner of the Heisman Trophy. BYU also lost big to Texas A&M in the Holiday Bowl and finished the season ranked No. 22.

Sun stay alive, beat Aces 105-76 in Game 3 of WNBA Finals
UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) — A historic effort from Alyssa Thomas helped the Connecticut Sun stave off elimination again.
Thomas had the first triple-double in WNBA Finals history, and the Sun beat the Las Vegas Aces 105-76 in Game 3 on Thursday night.
She finished with 16 points, 15 rebounds and 11 assists for the Sun, who have now won all four of their elimination games in these playoffs, topping Dallas on the road in the first round and beating Chicago in Games 4 and 5 to close out that series.
“We’ve been struggling offensively and we finally got a game back at home and my teammates were hitting shots,” Thomas said. “None of this would have been possible without them.”
Las Vegas leads the best-of-five series 2-1 with Game 4 on Sunday in Connecticut.
The Aces got off to a fast start, scoring nine of the first 11 points and forcing Connecticut to call a timeout. That settled the Sun down and they took over, outscoring the Aces 32-10 the rest of the quarter, including 25 of the final 29 points. Connecticut made 14 of its 17 shots in the period and DeWanna Bonner was a big reason why.
Bonner struggled in the first two games of the series, scoring five points total while missing 16 of her 18 shots. She had seven points in the opening 8 minutes on Thursday night and finished with 18.
“She was huge. She’s been here before. She’s won it. So, we lean on her,” Thomas said. “And she’s been struggling offensively, but we had nothing but faith in her and she came out and did her thing tonight.”
Jonquel Jones led the Sun with 20 points.
Jones, Bonner and Thomas helped Connecticut dominate inside as the Sun set a Finals record with 64 points in the paint while holding Las Vegas to 26.
“That’s been the M.O. of the playoffs,” Jones said. “Even the Chicago series, the team that won the paint, won the game. That’s where it’s done. A long time ago, I talked to Lisa Leslie and she said to win a championship you have to win the paint. I see it now and feel it now. I can go back to that and see she was right.”
Connecticut used that advantage to lead 53-34 with 1:44 left in the second quarter before the Aces closed the period by scoring the final nine points, including a buzzer-beating 3-pointer from Kelsey Plum from just inside half-court.
The Sun seized momentum back to start the third quarter, scoring the first five points. Las Vegas couldn’t get closer than six the rest of the game.
“That’s a team that is very resilient. If you could encapsulate Connecticut it’s physical and very resilient,” Aces coach Becky Hammon said. “They are physical and resilient and we didn’t match that tonight in any category.”
Jackie Young scored 22 points and A’ja Wilson added 19 for the Aces.
Las Vegas was thwarted in its first attempt at winning the franchise’s inaugural WNBA championship. The team had been in the Finals twice before and got swept in 2008 and 2020.
SHE SAID IT
“I went to a UFC fight the other night. ... I would not want to get in the cage with her.” — Hammon on Thomas’ toughness.
TRIPLE THREAT
Thomas now has three triple-doubles in her career — all this season. This was the third in WNBA playoff history. Chicago’s Courtney Vandersloot and Houston’s Sheryl Swoopes had the others.
TIP-INS
Former Aces president and coach Bill Laimbeer sat courtside. He took over the franchise when it moved to Las Vegas in 2018 before retiring at the end of last season. Laimbeer was instrumental in assembling the championship roster by drafting Wilson first in 2018 and getting Gray to come to the team last season as a free agent. ... Aces owner Mark Davis sat on the baseline. ... Had the Aces been able to complete the comeback, they would have broken the mark for biggest rally in WNBA Finals history. The New York Liberty came back from 18 down in 1999 against Houston when Teresa Weatherspoon hit a game-winning shot from half-court. Hammon played for the Liberty in that game.
HONORED
Wilson and Seattle’s Breanna Stewart were unanimous choices for the All-WNBA first team that was announced Thursday. Plum also was on the first team as well as Phoenix’s Skylar Diggins-Smith and Chicago’s Candace Parker. Thomas and Jones were on the second team along with New York’s Sabrina Ionescu, Los Angeles’s Nneka Ogwumike and Minnesota’s Sylvia Fowles.

NEW YORK, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the stock of Stitch Fix, Inc. (NASDAQ: SFIX) between December 8, 2020 and March 8, 2022, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important October 25, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Stitch Fix securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Stitch Fix class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=8552 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than October 25, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made numerous false and misleading statements to investors concerning the synergy between the Company's Fix program (where the customer would receive a monthly box of items chosen by a personal stylist) and Freestyle programs (which allowed customers to shop the site for specific products, giving the customer more control over what items they received, but also removing the curation element that differentiated Stitch Fix from other e-retailers) and repeatedly denied claims that the Freestyle program could cannibalize the Company's legacy Fix business. Specifically, Stitch Fix repeatedly assured investors that the Company's Freestyle business was "an additive experience" and "complimentary" to the Fix business, that "the combination of those two things will allow us to address many more types of clients," and that "we see solid growth in both sides of the business." In truth, throughout the Class Period, Stitch Fix concealed the fact that these programs were not complementary or additive. Stitch Fix knew that the Freestyle program would be much preferred to the Company's original Fix model, and that the Freestyle program would inevitably cannibalize the Company's legacy Fix business. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Stitch Fix class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=8552 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) clinical trials revealed significant concerns related to the benefit-risk ratio and overall survival data of Ublituximab (an investigational glycoengineered monoclonal antibody for the treatment of B-cell non-hodgkin lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia ("CLL"), and relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis) and Umbralisib (or UKONIQ, an oral inhibitor of PI3K-delta and CK1-epsilon for the treatment of CLL, marginal zone lymphoma, and follicular lymphoma); (2) accordingly, it was unlikely that TG Therapeutics would be able to obtain U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") approval of the marginal zone lymphoma ("MZL") and follicular lymphoma ("FL") (the "Umbralisib MZL/FL NDA"), the rolling submission of a Biologics License Application ("BLA") to the FDA for Ublituximab in combination with Umbralisib (together, "U2"), as a treatment for patients with CLL (the "U2 BLA"), the supplemental New Drug Application ("sNDA") for Umbralisib to add an indication for CLL and small lymphocytic lymphoma ("SLL") in combination with Ublituximab (the "U2 sNDA"), or the Ublituximab as a treatment for patients with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis ("RMS") (the "Ublituximab RMS BLA") in their current forms; (3) as a result, TG Therapeutics had significantly overstated Ublituximab and Umbralisib's clinical and/or commercial prospects; and (4) therefore, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Carlos Correa's solo home run in the first inning and Nick Gordon's two-run shot in the second gave the Minnesota Twins enough to hang on for a 3-2 victory to finish a three-game sweep of the Kansas City Royals on Thursday night and gain ground in the AL Central race.
The Twins (72-70) pulled within four games of first-place Cleveland. The Guardians (76-66) had their six-game winning streak stopped with an 8-2 loss to Chicago in the afternoon. The White Sox (74-70) are in second place, three games out.
Entering a last-ditch five-game series at Cleveland this weekend, the Twins salvaged some badly needed momentum. Trevor Megill (4-3), who threw the first of five scoreless innings by five Twins relievers, picked up the victory with a perfect fifth.
Jhoan Duran recorded his seventh save in as many attempts with a tense ninth, retiring his last three batters on a sacrifice bunt and two strikeouts after the first two men reached.
After losing nine of 11, including a three-game sweep here last weekend by division-leading Cleveland, the Twins snapped to life against the ready-for-next-year Royals. This was their second sweep of Kansas City in four weeks. Minnesota has a 12-4 advantage in the season series, with three games remaining on the road against the Royals next week.
After Michael Taylor's RBI single in the second inning and Salvador Perez's leadoff home run in the fourth off Twins starter Dylan Bundy, the Royals put only two runners on until the consecutive singles against Duran to start the ninth.
The Twins outscored the Royals 13-5 in the series and allowed a total of only 13 hits.
Correa is batting .339 in his last 31 games (39 for 115) with eight home runs, 21 RBIs and 18 walks. Gordon's 11th career home run was his first against a left-hander, Royals starter Daniel Lynch (4-11).
LUCKY NUMBER?
In honor of the baseball-wide celebration of the late Hall of Fame player, humanitarian and Puerto Rico native Roberto Clemente, two Royals and six Twins chose to wear his old No. 21. That included Correa, a Puerto Rican, and Perez, who was his team’s 2021 nominee for the Roberto Clemente Award for character and community service.
Correa and Perez, as fate would have it, both hit their 21st homers.
“You grow up in Puerto Rico learning the history of Roberto Clemente and how great he was. All the people he touched off the field is what inspired me the most and that’s the reason why I have a foundation to help others because my idol, Roberto Clemente, did it,” Correa said before the game.
BANGED-UP TWINS
Twins 1B/2B/DH Luis Arraez, who departed the game Wednesday with tightness in his hamstring, was held out of the lineup as a precaution after an MRI test revealed no damage. The AL batting leader entered as a pinch-hitter in the seventh inning.
The lineup remained well below full strength, with 2B Jorge Polanco (knee inflammation), CF Byron Buxton (hip strain), LF Alex Kirilloff (wrist inflammation) and RF Max Kepler (bruised leg, sore wrist) leading the list of sidelined regulars. Kepler is the only one not on the injured list.
“We need to bring guys back who can play. Bringing guys back who can play and then maybe need a day or two once they play a game, that’s not going to help us as much as we think," manager Rocco Baldelli said before the game.
UP NEXT
Royals: RHP Jonathan Heasley (3-8, 5.51 ERA) takes the mound on Friday night in Boston to begin a three-game series. RHP Michael Wacha (11-1, 2.69 ERA) pitches for the Red Sox.
Twins: The starter for the series opener in Cleveland on Friday night was still under consideration, with RHP Bailey Ober (0-2, 4.11 ERA) a strong candidate. Ober has been on the injured list since June 6 and made only seven starts this season because of a groin strain. RHP Triston McKenzie (10-11, 3.05) pitches for the Guardians. He beat the Twins last week with seven shutout innings.

NAZARETH, NORTHAMPTON COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — The Second Harvest Food Bank of the Lehigh Valley and NEPA, is a regional food bank that distributes around 11 million pounds of food across six Pennsylvania counties to those who need it most, was next to receive recognition at the fundraiser.
“Nothing can be more important than making sure people are fed. It just is a gateway to helping them achieve so much else in life. I mean you cannot thrive if you are hungry,” said Allison Czapp, Associate Executive Director, Second Harvest Food Bank.
Allison Czapp with Second Harvest Food Bank of Lehigh Valley says the group works with about 200 agencies to distribute food across six counties, including Monroe and Carbon.
In Nazareth, Second Harvest stores millions of pounds of food, feeding 19,000 households a month.
“We’re the pantry for the pantries, so it’s a really important role that I think a lot of people don’t necessarily think of a food bank as a giant warehouse where we’re holding millions of pounds of food at any given time,” Czapp explained.
The food bank is seeing a high demand for its services due to inflation making programs like its military share program, a huge need in our area.
“We are able to provide them with 18 pounds of shelf-stable food, as well as a gallon of milk, two pounds of meat, a box of fresh produce about 10 pounds, as well as a dozen eggs,” added Nicole Folino, Agency Relations Coordinator, Second Harvest Food Bank.
Nicole Folino says she comes from a family of veterans and understands they don’t often have the resources they need.
Their outreach is finding more people in need through American legions.
“I believe that serving those who have served us is truly an act of valor,” Folino said.

Researchers are using an underwater glider in Lake Tahoe to study the impact of Mosquito Fire smoke
The glider was deployed on Saturday, before smoke entered the lake basin. Researchers hope to build on lessons learned from the Caldor Fire in 2021.
The glider was deployed on Saturday, before smoke entered the lake basin. Researchers hope to build on lessons learned from the Caldor Fire in 2021.
The glider was deployed on Saturday, before smoke entered the lake basin. Researchers hope to build on lessons learned from the Caldor Fire in 2021.
This time last week, the Mosquito Fire burning in Placer and El Dorado counties had started to send huge plumes of smoke high into the air.
Researchers in the Lake Tahoe area had been watching the fire carefully. When it became clear that smoke would soon cloud the Tahoe Basin, they moved quickly to deploy a special robotic glider, designed to track changes in the lake as smoke conditions worsened.
Alex Forrest is a lead scientist in this research, which is supported by the UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center. He said smoke contains all kinds of microscopic particles that can end up in the water.
“The smoke itself carries a fair bit of nitrogen, and so it deposits nutrients into the water," Forrest said. "It also will put particle pollution into the water.”
That particle pollution is of a similar size to the particles traced by the Air Quality Index. Scientists can use that AQI to anticipate when Lake Tahoe's water clarity will be at its worst. But they hope with this glider, they'll be able to understand how quickly the lake can recover once the smoke clears.
A similar study was run last year at the tail end of the Caldor Fire. At that time, Forrest and his team were anticipating a recovery time of nearly 6 months. But the study results turned out to be far more optimistic.
“It cleared much quicker than we were expecting," said Forrest, who reported that clearing took a mere 3 to 4 weeks.
The caveat to last year's study is that the underwater glider had been deployed after the worst of the smoke had already moved over Lake Tahoe. That means water conditions may have been worse before data gathering began.
But this year, the glider was deployed before smoke from the Mosquito Fire reached the water. Forrest and his team hope to see similarly optimistic results to last year's data.
Those results will take some time to get, though.
The glider is scheduled to make slow north to south and east to west passes through the water for the next several weeks. The glider only briefly surfaces to check its location, which is controlled using a GPS signal.
Once the glider's patrol is complete, Forrest and his team can analyze the data.
Geoff Schladow is the director of the UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center. He said these kinds of studies are important not just for lake Tahoe, but every body of freshwater in the West.
“This [large wildfires] may be the new normal. And so with those smoke particles, and with those nutrients coming into these water bodies? How are they all going to change?" Schladow asks. "How is this going to change the quality of drinking water?”
Forrest adds that this data for Lake Tahoe can give some insights, but it can't perfectly represent how other lakes and reservoirs respond to smoke pollution.
“The unique thing of working with lakes is how unique each one is," Forrest said. "So the response of different systems will depend upon trophic status, the ecosystem, and its clarity and the mechanisms and the chemistry of each individualized one.”
The glider itself is approximately 6 feet long with small wings attached to help propel it forward as it adjusts its depth. The design allows the glider to use minimal power and create very little noise, minimizing the impact on the lake's ecosystem. It will travel about a half mile every hour.

What to know about Raymond Dearie, the judge who will serve as Mar-a-Lago search special master
By Paul LeBlanc, CNN
US District Judge Raymond Dearie will serve as the special master tasked with reviewing the documents seized from Mar-a-Lago.
Dearie — the only candidate for the role that both the Justice Department and former President Donald Trump’s legal team agreed on — was tapped for the position by US District Judge Aileen Cannon on Thursday.
Here’s what you need to know about Dearie and the role he’ll play in the investigation.
Who is Raymond Dearie?
Dearie, a Reagan nominee, has served as a federal judge in New York since 1986. He retired in 2011 and is now a senior judge in the district.
He also served a seven-year term on the US Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, or FISA court.
Dearie was one of the judges who approved an FBI and DOJ request to surveil Carter Page, a Trump campaign foreign policy adviser, as part of the federal inquiry into whether Russia interfered in the 2016 election.
The process that federal investigators used to secure the FISA warrants was riddled with errors and overall sloppiness, according to a DOJ inspector general report. Two of the four surveillance warrants granted by the secretive FISA court regarding Page have since been declared invalid — including one approved by Dearie in June 2017 — because of omissions and mistakes in the FBI’s submissions to the court.
The Trump team’s nomination of Dearie is notable because Trump has repeatedly criticized the FISA surveillance and has claimed — without evidence — that it was part of a “deep state” conspiracy to undermine his campaign.
What role will Dearie play?
A special master is a third-party attorney appointed by a court to oversee part of a certain case.
Dearie will specifically oversee the Justice Department’s review of the evidence gathered from Trump’s Florida residence and resort and filter out privileged material that may have been seized in the search.
Trump and the Justice Department, however, have disagreed on other key aspects of the special master review, including how long it should take, who is responsible for paying for it, and what type of documents are subject to review.
How long will Dearie have?
Cannon is giving Dearie a deadline of November 30 to finish his review of potentially privileged documents.
The DOJ had sought for the process to end in October, while Trump’s team said they preferred 90 days.
Cannon’s schedule means the review will end after the midterm congressional elections, essentially guaranteeing the Mar-a-Lago investigation will move slowly for the next two months, unless a higher court steps in.
She directed Dearie to prioritize sorting through potentially privileged classified records.
Why did Trump want a special master?
Trump’s legal team has broadly argued that a special master is necessary to ensure the Justice Department returns any of his private documents seized during the search of Mar-a-Lago.
The former President’s attorneys said his constitutional rights were violated, and that there may have been privileged materials seized.
But in court filings, Trump has not elaborated on what exactly he hoped a special master would filter out, besides general allusions to “privileged and potentially privileged materials.”
Beyond Dearie, Trump’s legal team had suggested lawyer Paul Huck Jr., a former partner at the Jones Day law firm, as special master — a proposal the DOJ disagreed with, noting he “does not appear to have similar experience” to Dearie and two retired federal judges the department put forth.
The DOJ’s position
Before Dearie’s selection, the Justice Department had put forward retired federal judges Barbara Jones and Thomas Griffith to potentially serve in the role.
“Each have substantial judicial experience, during which they have presided over federal criminal and civil cases, including federal cases involving national security and privilege concerns,” prosecutors wrote of Jones, Griffith and Dearie.
Dearie, however, was the only candidate both camps have agreed could serve as special master.
The Justice Department has argued that a special master shouldn’t touch any documents with classification markings and that the review shouldn’t include any executive privilege considerations.
The agency had challenged the need for a special master in court before Cannon sided with Trump. In legal filings, the DOJ said it had identified “a limited set of materials” from its search of documents taken from Mar-a-Lago that potentially contained material covered by attorney-client privilege and that it was already in the process of addressing privilege disputes.
This headline and story have been updated with the selection of Dearie as special master.

Biden, S. African leader to discuss Ukraine, trade, climate
U.S. President Joe Biden and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa are set to meet Friday at the White House for talks on Russia’s war in Ukraine, climate issues, trade and more.
Ramaphosa is among African leaders who have maintained a neutral stance in the aftermath of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, with South Africa abstaining from a United Nations vote condemning Russia’s actions and calling for a mediated settlement.
South Africa’s international relations minister, Naledi Pandor, said Ramaphosa would emphasize the need for dialogue to find an end to the conflict during his meeting with Biden and in separate talks with Vice President Kamala Harris.
Pandor added that the issue will be South Africa’s focus when it participates in the annual meeting of the U.N. General Assembly next week.
“We would want a process of diplomacy to be initiated between the two parties and we believe the U.N. must lead, the U.N secretary-general in particular,” Pandor said.
The White House meeting comes on the heels of U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s visit to South Africa last month, in which he said the Biden administration sees Africa’s 54 nations as “equal partners” in tackling global problems.
But the administration has been disappointed that South Africa and much of the continent have declined to follow the U.S. in condemning the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
During the Blinken visit, Pandor accused the U.S. and other Western powers of focusing on the Ukraine conflict to the detriment of crises around the globe.
“We should be equally concerned at what is happening to the people of Palestine, as we are with what is happening to the people of Ukraine,” she said.
The Biden administration, meanwhile, has sought to underscore that Russia’s blockade of Ukraine’s Black Sea ports has led to scarcities in grain, cooking oil and fertilizer — resulting in disproportionate impact on Africans.
South Africa’s neutral position is largely because of the support the Soviet Union gave during the Cold War era to Ramaphosa’s African National Congress in its fight to end apartheid, South Africa’s regime of repression against the Black majority that ended in 1994. South Africa is seen as a leader of the several African countries that will not side against Russia.
Despite the differences on the war in Ukraine, the Biden administration recognizes the importance of strengthening relations in Africa as China has spent decades entrenching itself in the continent’s natural resources markets. Improving relations with South Africa — one of the continent’s biggest economies — is central to the U.S. effort.
John Stremlau, an international relations expert at the University of the Witwatersrand, said the talks underscore that the U.S. sees South Africa as having the “potential to lead Africa in a constructive way” on trade and other issues.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the two leaders would also discuss climate change and opportunities to increase trade and investment. Harris and Ramaphosa will discuss global health security, space cooperation and other matters, when they meet over breakfast at the vice president’s residence, Jean-Pierre said.
South Africa’s ambitious efforts to transition from coal to cleaner energy are expected to be discussed during the leaders’ talks. The U.S., Britain, France and Germany announced a plan last year to provid e $8.5 billion in loans and grants over five years to help South Africa phase out coal.
Ramaphosa could also raise with Biden the failure of the United States and other wealthier nations to make good on a more than decades-old pledge — first made in 2009 and reaffirmed at the 2015 Paris climate talks — to spend $100 billion to help developing nations deal with climate change.

While improving to 9-3 in September and moving one win closer to securing the best record in the American League, the Houston Astros utilized a different path of success against the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday.
Houston (93-50), which will host the Oakland A’s for a four-game series starting Thursday, completed a sweep of its three-game road series and seven-game season series sweep of the Tigers with a 2-1 victory.
The result bore little resemblance to the Astros’ three previous games, all wins, during which Houston amassed 25 runs while bashing eight home runs.
While right-hander Cristian Javier did his part in producing the Astros’ third consecutive quality start, the offense used small ball to complement the home run Kyle Tucker slugged in providing Houston its first run in the finale.
The Astros parlayed two walks, a sacrifice bunt from Jeremy Pena and a sacrifice fly from Alex Bregman into the decisive second run against the Tigers. Houston proved it can execute its way to victory as easily as it can mash the ball.
“You’ve got to win those kind of games,” Astros manager Dusty Baker said. “You’re not going to beat up everybody every day and score a bunch of runs. You’ve got to win some 2-1 and 3-2 and just find a way to win.
“Sometimes you’ve got to play that kind of game.”
Right-hander Lance McCullers Jr. (3-1, 2.20 ERA) will for Houston on Thursday. He has won both of his starts this month, allowing four runs on 10 hits and five walks with 13 strikeouts over 12 2/3 innings in a pair of victories over the Los Angeles Angels.
McCullers has surrendered more than two earned runs once in five starts this season, doing so in a 6-2 loss to the Atlanta Braves when he allowed three runs in five innings on Aug. 19.
McCullers is 7-3 with a 3.25 ERA in 13 career starts against the Athletics. After missing the first 114 games of this season with a right flexor strain, McCullers made his 2022 debut against Oakland and allowed two hits and four walks while recording five strikeouts over six scoreless innings in a 8-0 home victory on Aug. 13.
Right-hander James Kaprielian (3-9, 4.79 ERA) has the starting assignment for Oakland. He has logged four losing decisions over his past five starts, pitching to a 6.46 ERA and a .874 opponents’ OPS with 16 walks against 19 strikeouts over 23 2/3 innings. Kaprielian had won three decisions over the previous seven starts with a 2.33 ERA and a .600 opponents’ OPS.
Kaprielian has faced the Astros once previously, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and one walk with five strikeouts in 3 1/3 innings of relief on Oct. 2, 2021, in a 10-4 Oakland loss.
The Athletics (52-91) won for just the second time in eight games on Wednesday, rallying for two runs in the top of the ninth inning to stun the Texas Rangers 8-7 in Arlington. Oakland, which trailed 7-4 after five innings, completed the comeback by saddling Texas reliever Jose Leclerc with his first blown save this season.
“At the end of the day, I was able to put up a good swing and help the team win,” said Oakland third baseman Vimael Machin, who tied the game with a ninth-inning double and soon scored the winning run on an error. “That’s what matters.”

No. 5 Angelo State football team opens LSC play on the road against UTPB
The No. 5-ranked Angelo State University football team will be taking some momentum into the Lone Star Conference opener on the road against UT Permian Basin on Saturday after a big nonconference win last week.
The Rams improved to 2-0 after rallying to beat then-No. 12 Colorado School of Mines 30-27 in overtime in Golden, Colorado. ASU beat an Orediggers squad that was 8-0 at home last year, and the Rams avenged a loss to Mines last year in the NCAA D-II quarterfinals.
"It was a great win," ASU head coach Jeff Girsch said. "I was so proud of the kids and that stayed true watching the film, but we left a lot of things out on the field that day against Mines.
"There's a lot to improve on, but the goal going into conference is always being 2-0 and undefeated moving forward and we did that against two really good teams. So that part of it's character building I think, and it kind of shows you what you've got going into a challenging conference schedule starting with UTPB."
UTPB (1-1) is coming off a 34-31 double-overtime decision against Western Colorado, which made the playoffs last year.
"They're going to present their own problems to us," the Rams coach said of the Falcons. "We're going to have our hands full, but we're excited about moving forward."
Kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. Saturday at Midland's Grande Communications Stadium. Radio coverage will be on KWFR 101.9-FM.
Girsch talked about what concerns him the most facing the Falcons.
"Just their athleticism," the ASU coach said. "They've got some great players who can make plays with the ball in their hands. They've got a new transfer quarterback (sophomore Dylan Graham) and he's done some decent things for them. And they've got some receivers who can really play, man.
"That's probably the biggest thing, just controlling their athletes and keeping them under wraps a little bit and limiting explosive plays, and doing our best with what we do on defense and getting after the quarterback and making him make some bad reads and poor decisions with the football. That's our goal."
ASU is 5-0 all time against UTPB, including a 34-14 win at home last year.
Rams junior running back Alfred Grear ran for 81 yards on five carries last week, including a 60-yard touchdown scamper. He was sidelined for all of the second half with an injury.
"He'll be out this week," Girsch said of Grear. "They're just evaluating things and kind of seeing where it goes."
The Rams will have that next-man-up mentality while Grear heals up.
"We've built great depth at (running back), guys that I'm really proud of," Girsch said. "Obviously, Nate (Omayebu) is Nate. He brings a lot of experience and a lot to that position, and he's a guy who can carry the load. But he won't have to. We've got some other guys that we feel good about.
"Kason Phillips stepped in on Saturday and had some really big runs for us, including a 46-yard touchdown run. Brayden Wilcox is a redshirt freshman from Christoval who's done a lot for us. He's so athletic and he brings a lot of versatility to his game. And Tyler Cleveland is a young man who's been in the program for awhile. Between those four guys, I feel like our production can maintain what it's been and keep working hard until Alfred's ready to go again."

Dear Abby: My husband was diagnosed with advanced chronic leukemia seven years ago. After two rounds of chemo, he was better for a while but was diagnosed with advanced multiple myeloma a year ago. He has been through almost constant chemo and radiation, lost more than six inches of height due to osteoporosis and fractures, and can barely walk around the house or get in and out of the car for his doctor’s appointments. We almost lost him three times, but he’s hanging on. For us, this is reality. But we have a teenage daughter, and I still have to work to support us. I do not share this information at work.
A business colleague I’ll call “Amy” was just diagnosed with chronic leukemia. It’s in the early stages, with no chemo or radiation, just monitoring. Now, in every business call and video meeting, Amy talks about how she is surviving cancer and is going to beat this because she is stronger than cancer. Everyone in the office is talking about Amy being a cancer survivor and saying we should do something for her. It grates on me because my husband is so much sicker, and she’s planning vacations and trips to concerts and telling everyone how great she feels. We all deal with disease differently, but I want to tell her to keep this to herself and focus on work. Should I, and if so, how?
— Resentful in New York
Dear Resentful: I sincerely hope you will refrain from doing that. Not all cancers are alike. Everyone’s experience with this frightening disease is different. That Amy is doing as well as she is is a blessing. It could also be that she’s trying to stay positive, putting on a brave face and living her life to the fullest extent for as long as she is able.
I am truly sorry for your pain. I have “walked a mile in your shoes.” It’s wrenching and awful. But you will not lessen it by telling your colleague to keep anything to herself. Leave the room instead.
Dear Abby: My two sisters live in our old hometown, a five-hour drive from my current home. When they have visited, my husband, kids and I open our home to them. We even welcome their dog. They are both empty nesters who live with their husbands in spacious homes. When I visit their town, they never invite us to stay with them. Never! This has hurt my feelings.
Our parents have passed away. I recall Mom and Dad telling us that once they’re gone, we will no longer have their house, “the family hub,” in which to gather, and that we’ll need to make an effort to get together. I long for our family to be close, but I’m afraid it’ll backfire if I say anything. Thank you for any advice you can offer.
— Distanced in Michigan
Dear Distanced: I don’t think it should cause a rift in the family if you were to simply ask your sisters why your hospitality has never been reciprocated. And when you do, remind them what your parents said. There is always a reason. The answer could be as simple as their husbands being uncomfortable hosting houseguests.

As a part of the expansion plans, Assure Ventures will over 1-2 years establish a network of 6-8 centers offering hair restoration and skin services.

Dockers keen to land Jackson and keep Lobb
Fremantle chief executive Simon Garlick is confident the club will have the capacity to trade Melbourne big man Luke Jackson without having to give up reluctant Docker Rory Lobb.
The Dockers are set to be the biggest players during the upcoming trade period, with Lobb, Griffin Logue, Darcy Tucker and Blake Acres all keen to leave.
Lobb, whose bid to be traded to GWS last year fell through, is desperate to join the Western Bulldogs.
But with uncontracted swingman Logue expected to join North Melbourne on a five-year deal, the Dockers have told Lobb he will have to see out the final year of his contract.
Despite this, Lobb hasn't given up hope of ending up at the Bulldogs.
Fremantle will need to bolster their draft hand if they are to secure Jackson, who has already told the Demons he wants to move back to WA.
That's left West Coast and Fremantle in a two-way race for the 20-year-old's services.
It could take two first-round picks to secure Jackson.
Whatever the price ends up being, Garlick says that doesn't mean Fremantle have to give up Lobb.
"We've got the capacity and the room to do that (getting Jackson) we think, without linking the two," Garlick told SEN WA.
"We're really excited to start those conversations and see where they end up.
"First and foremost, we've got to talk to Luke to see what his intention is and where he'd like to end up and what he'd like to do.
"Then you've obviously got to talk to the club where the player is coming from, that's something you can do in parallel and hopefully we're successful at the end of it all."
Acres has nominated Carlton as his club of choice, while contracted midfielder Tucker is being chased by a number of Victorian clubs, most notably North Melbourne.
Lobb, Acres and Logue all played crucial roles in securing Fremantle's first finals berth since 2015.
"It's disappointing that they want opportunity elsewhere, but I think I can sit here and say they've all had career-best years in their footy careers," Dockers coach Justin Longmuir told Mix 94.5.
"That's a reflection of the environment that's in place for them to be able to play their best footy.
"They're not leaving to better their footy. Players want to shift for a lot of different reasons and some of that's out of our control."

Baltimore City Schools apologized to students, families and staff Thursday afternoon for scheduling parent-teacher conferences on Yom Kippur.
Yom Kippur, considered the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, begins this year at sundown Oct. 4 and ends at sundown Oct. 5. Observance of the Day of Atonement involves fasting and attending services.
“We apologize for any harm caused by the unfortunate scheduling of parent-teacher conferences during Yom Kippur,” Baltimore City Schools said in the statement posted on Twitter. “We are reviewing future scheduling events to avoid conflicts with other religious observances to the greatest extent possible.”
The district said schools would provide alternative days for parents to meet with teachers and that athletic games set for Oct. 5 would be rescheduled.
As of Thursday night, a Baltimore City Schools online calendar describes Oct. 5 as an “early release day” for parent conferences. An additional calendar item says “observance day; modified after-school activities; no testing may occur.”
Baltimore County Schools are closed for students on the holiday with a staff professional development day scheduled, according to an online calendar that lists Oct. 5 as “Yom Kippur.”

Chargers' Herbert bruised and battered in 27-24 loss in KC
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert was left to walk gingerly into the trainer's room inside Arrowhead Stadium, his left arm held tightly to his battered ribs, after Los Angeles blew a 10-point halftime lead and lost 27-24 to the AFC West-rival Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday night.
Herbert was expected to get X-rays after getting crushed by Chiefs defensive end Mike Danna midway through the fourth quarter, but Chargers coach Brandon Staley was quick to say he thought his Pro Bowl quarterback would be OK.
Herbert only missed on play after the hit before gamely trying to rally his team to victory.
"It was just a tough NFL game and he took some big hits. None of those big hits had any impact on him bringing his team back the way he always does," Staley said. "I think that we're going to learn a lot more tomorrow, but I think in that area of losing his wind and (an injury) in that area of his body."
Asked whether he was concerned about Herbert going forward, Staley replied: "No, because he's Justin Herbert."
Herbert and the Chargers got off to a good start, building an early 10-0 lead, and the game was still tied when Herbert was intercepted by Jaylen Watson near the Kansas City goal line early in the fourth quarter. Watson took the pick 99 yards the other direction for a touchdown that gave Kansas City a 24-17 lead - its first of the night.

After the teams swapped punts, Herbert was trying to unload a pass to tight end Gerald Everett when Danna came free up the middle and landed on his ribs. Herbert remained on the ground for about a minute while trainers tended to him, then he left the game for a play before telling Staley on the sideline that he was OK to continue.
"I just turned around and saw him on the ground," Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams said.
Herbert walked out and was promptly crushed between Chiefs pass rushers Frank Clark and George Karlaftis as he threw an incompletion, forcing Los Angeles to punt while still trailing by a touchdown in the waning minutes.
"Our defense hit the quarterback - who is a mobile guy, a great player - to the point that he's probably pretty sore after the game," Chiefs coach Andy Reid said later.
The Chiefs added a field goal to stretch the lead, but Herbert kept the Chargers alive when he marched them 73 yards in just over 2 minutes for a touchdown. He took a couple more hits on the drive, but he delivered a pretty throw to DeAndre Carter to convert one fourth down and to Joshua Palmer on another fourth down for the score.
Los Angeles tried an onside kick but the Chiefs recovered and were able to run out the clock.
Herbert, who had won his first two games at Arrowhead Stadium, finished with 334 yards passing and three touchdowns, but he also threw the interception that wound up being the most important play of the game.
The Chiefs had just kicked a field goal to knot the game 17-all early in the fourth quarter when Herbert led his team back down field. He threw a 26-yard strike to Everett to set up first-and-goal at the Kansas City 3, and he was targeting his tight end again when Watson stepped in front of his errant pass and hauled it in.
Before the play, Everett looked winded and appeared to be asking to come out of the game.
Watson took off the other way, made Herbert miss near midfield and cruised to a 99-yard touchdown return that not only gave Kansas City a 24-17 lead - its first of the night - but energized the crowd packed inside Arrowhead Stadium.
"When he´s matched up in the flat, the tight end has the option to come back in. I think Justin was expecting him to come back in on that," Staley said. "But it´s just one of those unlucky things that happened, and we´ll learn a lot from that."
Los Angeles went three-and-out on its next possession, then Herbert took the blow that briefly knocked him from the game, putting a bitter end to what had been through three quarters a solid performance by the Chargers on the road.
"I leave here saying that we lost," Staley said, "(but) I thought that we competed like I expect us to compete."

Greater China-focused hedge funds showing biggest net outflows in 15 years
By Summer Zhen
HONG KONG, Sept 16 (Reuters) - Hedge funds that invest in Greater China are showing their biggest net fund outflows in at least 15 years, according to data for the first seven months of 2022, as investors cut exposure to Chinese assets and await greater policy clarity.
For the January-July period, Greater China-focused hedge funds recorded outflows of $5.6 billion and inflows of $2.01 billion, according to Eurekahedge data from With Intelligence.
The $3.6 bln year-to-date net outflow is larger than any full-year outflows since the hedge fund database began compiling such data in 2008. It also marks a reversal from net inflows of $1.8 bln in 2021 and a hefty $8.7 billion in 2020, when investors piled into a bull run in Chinese markets.
Market observers and analysts say global investors are still keen for exposure to China, the world's second-largest economy, and to its high-growth companies, which is why redemptions this year have been moderate even after unexpected events such as the Russia-Ukraine war, the sell-off of U.S.-listed China stocks, and long pandemic lockdowns in major Chinese cities.
Yet, fresh allocations have been stagnant and it could take longer for investors to do due diligence on managers, they say, while policy uncertainty surrounds the Chinese Communist Party congress, a once-in-five-years gathering that begins on Oct. 16.
"Inflows in 2022 are significantly smaller compared to the past few years," Tay Li Yuan, a hedge fund analyst at With Intelligence, told Reuters.
"Investors remain cautious given the risk of continued lockdowns as local governments attempt to snuff out virus outbreaks ahead of the 20th Communist Party congress."
Across strategies, managers pursuing fixed income and long short equities strategies recorded the largest outflows amid the challenging macroeconomic environment, while arbitrage funds continued to attract flows in 2022.
In a survey conducted by BofA Securities in September, 53% of the nearly 120 Hong Kong-based investors surveyed said they plan to "do nothing" from now until the mid-October congress. Only 42% said they plan to add China to positioning.
"Sentiment is divided, and most large institutional investors are still taking a wait-and-see approach at the moment," said Zhiwei Zhang, president and chief economist at Hong Kong-based Pinpoint Asset Management, while highlighting that Chinese stock valuations are nevertheless attractive for long-term investors.
Jason Pidcock, investment manager at Jupiter Asset Management, said in July that the fund had cut its China exposure to zero for its 1 billion pound ($1.15 billion) Jupiter Asian Income Fund.
The California State Teachers' Retirement System (CalSTRS), however, posted a request for proposal in August to search for a China-focused equity manager for the first time. ($1 = 0.8723 pounds) (Reporting by Summer Zhen; Editing by Vidya Ranganathan and Edmund Klamann)

FOR 2022 US Open Girls Singles champ Alex Eala, becoming an inspiration was as big an achievement as the win itself.
"I just want to be someone people can look up to, not just young girls, but anyone, really," said the 17-year-od in a presscon conducted by Globe on Friday, September 16,
As a young kid, she said, she looked up to the Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao.
How Manny Pacquiao inspired Alex Eala
"I grew up looking up to Manny Pacquaio, watching his matches," Eala said.
Pacquiao was among the luminaries and sports legends who aired their congratulations to Eala after her win on September 11 (Philippine time).
Now, she'll likely become even more of an inspiration herself, as she just benchmarked a milestone in the history of Philippine sports after became the first Filipino to win a Singles Grand Slam in tennis.
This alone brought his fellow countrymen to pay more attention on national athletes of other sports that aren't highly recognized in the PH.
"I wanted to be someone like that, someone who inspires others with their hard word — as a person, really, and not just as an athlete," she continued.

Change is in the air!
NBC announced Sept. 15 that Saturday Night Live's 48th season will see the addition of four new cast members, Marcello Hernandez, Molly Kearney, Michael Longfellow and Devon Walker.
And while the quartet is new to Studio 8H, they're hardly new to the comedy scene. Marcello, a comedian, actor and writer from Miami, was selected as the Just for Laughs New Face of Comedy in 2022.
Likewise, Molly has a solid background in comedy, having starred in Prime Video's A League of Their Own and Disney+'s Mighty Ducks. They were also selected for Comedy Central's "Up Next" showcase in 2019.
Longfellow comes highly recommended, according to NBC, having previously participated in Netflix's Introducing ... showcase and NBC's Bring the Funny. He was also selected as one of TBS' "Comics to Watch" for the 2017 New York Comedy Festival.
Last but not least is Walker, who has written on Freeform's Everything's Trash and the Netflix animated comedy Big Mouth.
The four newcomers have some pretty big shoes to fill—seven pairs to be exact. SNL's season 47 finale saw the departures of Pete Davidson, Kate McKinnon, Kyle Mooney and Aidy Bryant. And on Sept. 1, SNL announced that Melissa Villaseñor, Alex Moffat and Aristotle Athari would not be returning either.
Executive producer and series creator Lorne Michaels told reporters at the 2022 Emmys that this casting shake-up means the new season will see the show go through a "transition," adding, "The changes are always difficult. But also really exciting."
Fans of the long-running sketch comedy can see how things pan out when SNL premieres Oct. 1 on NBC.
(E! News and NBC are both members of the NBCUniversal family.)

SCO Summit: Modi, Xi to come face-to-face for first time since LAC clashes
The summit in the historic city is also being attended by Russian President Vladimir Putin, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit in Samarkand that will bring him face-to-face with Chinese President Xi Jinping for the first time since the start of the military standoff in Ladakh in 2020.
Also Read: PM Modi arrives for SCO summit, no word on bilateral with Xi
The summit in the historic city is also being attended by Russian President Vladimir Putin, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. The leaders began gathering in Samarkand on Thursday morning though Modi and his delegation arrived in a special flight late in the evening, after an informal dinner and other ceremonial events were over.
The Chinese president was not seen in images of the dinner and other ceremonial gatherings on Thursday as he apparently skipped these events.
Following the summit, Modi is set to hold separate bilateral meetings with Uzbekistan President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, Putin and Raisi. There was no official word from China or India on a possible meeting between Modi and Xi, who have only joined several virtual meetings of multilateral bodies during the pandemic.
Energy and food security in the aftermath of the Ukraine crisis, trade, connectivity, expansion and reform of the SCO, counter-terrorism cooperation and international and regional issues such as the situation in Afghanistan are expected to figure in the discussions at the summit. Iran is set to become the first full member of the SCO since 2017, when India and Pakistan joined the grouping.
Ahead of his departure from New Delhi on Thursday, Modi said in a statement that he would discuss topical regional and global issues, the expansion of the SCO and deepening of mutually beneficial cooperation within the grouping at the summit. He added that a number of decisions for cooperation in trade, economy, culture and tourism are likely to be adopted by the meeting.
Before the start of the summit, the leaders of the SCO member states – India, China, Russia, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan – will participate in a group photo opportunity. This will be followed by the two sessions of the summit – a restricted gathering of heads of SCO member states, and an extended session with the participation of countries that have observer status with SCO or are special invitees of Uzbekistan, the host of the event.
The Samarkand Declaration, listing the deliberations and outcomes of the summit, will be signed and there will be an official banquet hosted by the Uzbek president.
Modi will then hold the first of his bilateral meetings with Putin, and this will be followed by the meetings with Mirziyoyev and Raisi.
The Russian side has said issues such as trade, sale of Russian fertilisers, bilateral food supplies and cooperation at multilateral bodies such as the UN and G20 are expected to be discussed by Putin. People familiar with the matter said Raisi is expected to raise the issue of India resuming purchases of Iranian oil – suspended in 2019 due to the threat of US secondary sanctions – during his meeting with Modi.
The prime minister will conclude his visit of about 24 hours to Uzbekistan with a visit to the mausoleum of Islam Karimov, the first president of Uzbekistan.
Xi and Putin held a bilateral meeting on Thursday, during which the Chinese president said his country will work with Russia to “extend strong mutual support on issues concerning each other’s core interests”. The two countries will also play a “leading role in injecting stability into a world of change and disorder”, Xi said.
Putin noted that the world is “undergoing multiple changes, yet the only thing that remains unchanged is the friendship and mutual trust between Russia and China”.
The Russian president also held bilateral meetings on Thursday with the Pakistani premier and his Iranian counterpart.

Lake's rising waters brings crocodiles and hippos closer to residents, threatening life, limb and livelihoods
Winnie Keben had felt blessed to raise her children in her husband's childhood home just 500 metres from the shoreline of Lake Baringo, in Kenya's Great Rift Valley.
The vast freshwater lake, about a five-hour drive from the capital Nairobi, had brought international fishers and tourists.
But over the past decade it has doubled in size, engorged by heavy rains which scientists have linked to climate change.
Its rising waters have swallowed up homes and hotels and brought crocodiles and hippos to people's doorsteps and into classrooms.
"It was not like this in the past," Winnie said.
"People would move when the water moves, but it would go back soon enough."
She had never imagined leaving their home in the shore side village of Kampi ya Samaki.
Then the lake took away almost everything.
On her last evening in Kampi ya Samaki, Winnie was washing in the lake.
She had spent the day working in the maize fields with her husband.
Evening was falling.
Then something moved.
"No sooner had I bent down to wash my right leg, than I saw a crocodile pop up from the waters. I screamed so loudly but unfortunately, I fell into the lake," Winnie said.
The crocodile dragged her into deeper water as she tried to fight it off.
Her husband ran from the fields toward her screams.
But she was struggling to stay above the surface.
She managed to reach her hand above the water and wiggle her fingers, hoping her husband, now at the shore, would see them.
Laban Keben saw, jumped in and grabbed her but the animal held on.
He tried again. And again. After his third attempt, his wife and the mother of their children lost consciousness.
"I saw her dying, leaving me behind," Laban said.
He thought of their daughter, barely six months old, and their two other children.
He started screaming for help.
Another man ran over with a machete and struck at the crocodile, Laban said, and suddenly, it swam away, and left Winnie's limp body behind.
Her leg was nothing but bones with hanging flesh, said Laban, who along with other residents carried Winnie past flooded roads to the nearest paved one where vehicles could get her to medical care.
But at the hospital in the next town, doctors said they were not equipped for such a severe injury.
Two hospitals later, she feared she would not survive.
"I told my husband to pick up my children and to take them to my mum, as I knew I was not going to make it," she said.
Doctors had to amputate the leg to save her life. Her mum stayed by her bedside until she was discharged from the hospital.
The family was forced to sell their chickens and goats to cover her medical costs.
But while she was healing, rain fell incessantly.
The lake took still more.
It flooded their home and farmland.
Then it took their community from them.
They were taken in by somebody in another village.
Leaving Kampi ya Samaki, where her husband and children were born, still hurts, Winnie said.
"I loved my place very much, as I could do farming with my husband and raise money for food and school fees."
With only one leg, Winnie said she no longer can farm.
Her husband earns a meagre living digging pit latrines and working at area farms to support their growing family.
She gave birth to her sixth child last month.
"Now we are land beggars," she said.
Baringo is one of 10 lakes in Kenya's Rift Valley which have expanded over the past decade.
The entire Eastern African rift system, which stretches south to Mozambique, and the Western Rift — all the way to Uganda — is also affected.
The rain-fed waters have submerged villages and islands and brought residents face-to-face with fierce Nile crocodiles.
The rising lake waters have displaced more than 75,000 households, according to a 2021 joint report by the Kenyan government and the UN.
Flooding around Lake Baringo has been among the most severe, according to the report, with more than 3,000 households destroyed.
Lake Baringo still provides freshwater for villagers, livestock, fisheries, and wildlife.
But scientists fear it could some day merge with a large salt lake not far away, the also-expanding Lake Bogoria, contaminating the freshwater.
Winnie remembers when the shoreline was a short walk from their home and the hippos and crocodiles stayed deep inside the lake.
"They never attacked people or animals. Today they attack everything," Winnie said.
Winnie is still haunted by her attack a decade ago.
She has not returned to her family's village — even for a brief visit.
The risk of attacks likes hers have only increased: Since she left, more crocodiles and hippos have turned up in Kampi ya Samaki, and village children are scarred by sharp teeth marks.
Others, like Winnie, have lost limbs, and an unknown number have died.
A 10-year-old boy was recently dragged off by a hippo and has not been found.
Winnie said she doesn't plan to ever return to Kampi ya Samaki.
But she still misses it.
"That is the place I called home," she said.

FORESTHILL, Calif. (AP) — A weekend weather system could hamper firefighters' efforts in Northern California to battle the week-old blaze that’s become the largest in the state so far this year.
The system is forecasted to bring colder temperatures and precipitation — from 1/4 inch (0.63 centimeters) to more than 1 inch (2.54 centimeters) of rainfall over several days — to the Mosquito Fire about 110 miles (177 kilometers) northeast of San Francisco.
But stronger winds are also expected to arrive in the area beginning Saturday and the winds could throw burning embers and create spot fires despite the rain.
“That’s a bit of a mixed blessing here,” Fire Behavior Analyst Jonathan Pangburn said Thursday.
The forecast came as firefighters again prevented flames from entering a mountain town and reported major progress Thursday, just two days after the fire roared back to life and burned structures near Foresthill. Crews on the ground built up containment lines while water-dropping helicopters knocked down hotspots.
Conditions on the ground Thursday were “looking a whole heck of a lot better,” according to fire spokesman Scott McLean.
“It's looking really good on the west end where we had that dramatic increase of fire earlier this week,” McLean said Thursday. Flames raced up a drainage ditch into a neighborhood, but firefighters saved all the homes.
Scientists say climate change has made the West warmer and drier over the last three decades and will continue to make weather more extreme and wildfires more frequent and destructive. In the last five years, California has experienced the largest and most destructive fires in its history.
Evacuation orders remained for some 11,000 residents because of the unpredictable nature of the winds, McLean said, which typically blow in the direction of several canyons and could rapidly spread flames if gusts pick up.
The Mosquito Fire was 20% contained after destroying at least 70 homes and other buildings. Total containment of the fire is expected to occur around Oct. 15.
The nearly 106-square-mile (nearly 274-square-kilometer) blaze on Wednesday surpassed the size of the previous largest conflagration in 2022 - the McKinney Fire - although this season has seen a fraction of last year’s wildfire activity so far.
In Southern California, dogs aided the hunt for a person missing in a heavily damaged area of the San Bernardino Mountains where thunderstorms unleashed rocks, trees and earth that washed away cars, buried homes and affected 3,000 residents in two remote communities. Nearly 2 inches (5 centimeters) of rain fell Monday at Yucaipa Ridge between Oak Glen, home to apple orchards that are a fall tourist destination, and Forest Falls, once a summer getaway for cabin owners that has become a bedroom community.
“This entire area is blanketed with up to 6 feet (1.83 meters) of mud, debris, large boulders” said Jim Topelski, a San Bernardino County fire chief.
The mudslide damage in Oak Glen and Forest Falls served as a powerful warning to residents of the lingering damage wildfires can cause months or even years after flames are extinguished and the smoke clears.
An intense amount of rain even over a short period of time can have catastrophic effects on hillsides where fire has stripped vegetation that once held the ground intact.
The Mosquito Fire was one of three large fires in the state.
The Fairview Fire was burning about 75 miles (121 kilometers) southeast of Los Angeles. The 44-square-mile (114-square-kilometer) blaze was 84% contained Thursday. Two people died fleeing the fire, which destroyed at least 35 homes and other structures in Riverside County.

Nucor Corp. on Thursday said it named President and Chief Executive Leon Topalian to the additional post of chairman.
The Charlotte, N.C., maker of steel and steel products said John Walker, a board member since 2018 who had been serving non-executive chairman, remains a director.
Nucor said Christopher Kearney, who also joined the board in 2008, will now serve as lead director.
Mr. Topalian joined Nucor in 1996 and became CEO at the start of 2020.

Steel Dynamics Inc. said that it expects third-quarter earnings of $4.93 to $4.97 a share. Excluding the impact from costs associated with the startup of the company's Sinton Texas Flat Roll Steel Mill growth investment of an estimated $104 million, or 40 cents a share, the company expects third-quarter adjusted earnings of $5.33 to $5.37 a share.
On steel's effect on third-quarter earnings
"The company's Texas Flat Roll Steel Division was hindered with high-cost steel substrate inventory during the third quarter 2022."
"Third-quarter 2022 profitability from the company's steel operations is expected to be historically strong, but significantly lower than second quarter 2022 results, due to lower earnings from the company's flat rolled steel operations, as lower average flat rolled steel pricing is expected to more than offset lower raw material costs and higher shipments."
"As ferrous and nonferrous scrap prices have declined, third quarter 2022 earnings from the company's metals recycling operations are expected to be below sequential second quarter results, based on lower realized pricing and volume."
"Third-quarter 2022 earnings from the company's steel fabrication operations are expected to be meaningfully higher than record second quarter results, based on continued strong volume and expanding margins, as realized pricing improves and average steel input costs declined."

Ken Burns connects the past and the present in 'The U.S. and the Holocaust'
Ken Burns connects the past and the present in 'The U.S. and the Holocaust'
In his newest documentary series, The U.S. and the Holocaust, Ken Burns and his collaborators are revisiting some very familiar ground. Geoffrey C. Ward, who wrote the script for this new series, also wrote the Burns epic documentaries The War, about World War II, and The Roosevelts: An Intimate History, in which Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt figured prominently, as they do here. And Ward wrote The Civil War, which put Ken Burns on the map in the first place.
More than 30 years later, the structure and methods of a Ken Burns production are so familiar as to be almost comforting, and The U.S. and the Holocaust employs them all. There are celebrity voices reading the words of historical figures — this time, the voices include Meryl Streep, Paul Giamatti, Liam Neeson and Werner Herzog. Photographs are used patiently and poetically, revealing new elements as they pan and zoom in and out. Music and sound effects make every moment both more real and more emotional. And a Ken Burns documentary series always starts with a clear-cut summary of things to come — provided, this time, by frequent Burns narrator Peter Coyote.
The U.S. and the Holocaust, like many Ken Burns history projects, examines his subject from the bottom up. Instead of interviewing military experts, he talks to survivors or their relatives. When historians and other experts are heard from, they discuss events from that same perspective. In this case, they try to understand, and explain, what it was like to endure Nazi atrocities — or even to believe that they were happening.
The documentary spends a great deal of time delving into the intricacies of national politics — not only in Germany, where Adolf Hitler rose from prison to dictatorial power, but in America, where waves of isolationism kept the U.S. out of the war for years. It shows that most everyday Americans were not unaware of what the Nazis were doing in Europe. Throughout the documentary, we see newspaper headlines proving that the facts indeed were out there. Yet they were questioned by many, until after the war, when concentration camps were liberated and their atrocities documented.
The opening installment, which premiers on Sept. 18, stops in the year 1938, and part two goes up to 1942. The concluding two hours cover the end of World War II, and its aftermath — the formation of Israel, the Nuremberg war trials, even the invention and introduction of the word "genocide."
It's not until the final five minutes that the story is brought fully up to date. But those final sounds and images that conclude The U.S. and the Holocaust — scenes with which we're all too familiar, of hate crimes and hate-filled marches — connect the past to the present without Coyote, or anyone else, having to say a word. Once again, Burns and company have made history come to life — and reminded us that our life, right now, is indeed history in the making.

OhGeesy, 8 p.m. Saturday, Bourbon Theatre. Shoreline Mafia rapper OhGeesy got arrested last week in California for a firearms violation and possession of nonprescribed codeine. He’s bonded out and, apparently, is keeping up his tour schedule, including a Lincoln appearance Saturday. The soft-spoken Mexican-American rapper is known for his subtle braggadocio and hard tracks like “Appetizer,” which was the centerpiece of last year’s album “GEEZYWORLD.”
Megalodon, 8 p.m. Saturday, The Royal Grove. Dubstep standout Megalodon has, since 2008, collaborated with Zeds Dead, Skism and 12th Planet, and gained DJ support from Skrillex. The San Francisco-based producer is known for his impressive chopping style and high-energy sets that make him a live-performance fan favorite.
Flobots, 8 p.m. Wednesday, Bourbon Theatre. It’s been years since Denver rap-rockers Flobots have been in Lincoln, but they’re back on Wednesday. The six-man outfit, fronted by rappers Brer Rabbit and Jonny 5, who deliver socially conscious, oft political beat-heavy songs, are best know for their 2008 hit “Handlebars,” which depicts the rise of a facist leader

"Politics is run by the people who show up," Gov. Pete Ricketts told a group of students at the University of Nebraska-Kearney last week (Ricketts answers UNK students' questions, Sept. 2). I assume you are vigorously urging your pal Jim Pillen to show up to just one debate with Carol Blood. Too much to ask?
