Rutschman drives in 2, Orioles avoid sweep, beat Jays 5-4
TORONTO (AP) - Adley Rutschman hit a two-run single in the ninth inning and the Baltimore Orioles turned the 15th triple play in team history, rallying to beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-4 Sunday to avoid a three-game sweep.
"One of our better wins of the year, especially with the last couple of days being so disappointing," manager Brandon Hyde said.
Jesús Aguilar hit a solo homer, his first with the Orioles, as Baltimore (76-69) won for the second time in its past eight meetings with Toronto (83-64). Rutschman went 2 for 3 with two walks.
The Orioles have their highest win total since finishing 89-73 and earning a wild card in 2016. Baltimore went 75-87 in 2017.
"We have a tough time having easy wins," Hyde said. "It makes us exciting. There´s a lot of fight in our club, and I don´t see us stopping."
Joey Krehbiel (5-4) pitched a perfect eighth for the win. Félix Bautista earned his 14th save in 15 chances, pitching around George Springer´s two-out RBI double.

Springer thought he had connected for a tying homer, but his drive to center hit off the wall. Cavan Biggio scored after reaching on a two-out walk.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. walked but Bautista got Bo Bichette to ground out, ending the game.
Guerrero and Danny Jansen hit solo homers for the Blue Jays, who maintained their position atop the AL wild-card standings.
Baltimore trailed 3-2 before rallying in the ninth against Jordan Romano (5-4). Pinch-hitters Kyle Stowers and Ramón Urías singled and Cedric Mullins walked before Rutschman lined a two-run single to left.
"That was a super pro at-bat," Hyde said. "He got something he could handle out over the plate, stayed on it, and a base hit the other way."
Rutschman has 16 doubles, 20 RBIs and 39 walks in 50 games since the All-Star break.
"It was definitely a big moment," Rutschman said. "When you´re in the box, you just try and relax as much as you can and stick to your approach."
Anthony Santander grounded into a double play, advancing Mullins to third, and Aguilar made it 5-3 with a base hit to right.
"He got two enormous hits for us," Hyde said of Aguilar.
The blown save was Romano´s fifth.
"He´s arguably the best in the league, and he just didn´t have it today," interim Toronto manager John Schneider said. "I think his slider was a little bit flat. I think they were sitting on it."
Baltimore turned a triple play to get right-hander Dean Kremer out of a jam in the third. It was its first since Aug. 3, 2017, against Detroit, and No. 15 since becoming the Orioles in 1954.
Springer was hit by a pitch to start the inning. Guerrero walked and Bichette opened the scoring with an RBI single to left, putting runners at first and second.
Matt Chapman followed with a liner right at shortstop Jorge Mateo, who flipped to second baseman Terrin Vavra to double off Guerrero. Vavra promptly fired the ball to first baseman Aguilar to retire Bichette before he could dive back to the bag.
"It came at the right time," Hyde said.
It was the 10th time the Blue Jays have hit into a triple play since joining the AL in 1977. The New York Yankees turned a triple play against Toronto on June 17, 2021.
Jansen homered off Kremer in the fourth, his 13th. Guerrero hit a two-out drive off Dillon Tate in the seventh, his 29th.
Springer stayed in the game after being hit on the left elbow, briefly leaving the dugout between at-bats. He appeared uncomfortable after making contact on an infield popup in the fifth and struck out swinging in the seventh.
Kremer allowed two runs and four hits in 5 2/3 innings. He struck out three and walked five, matching his career-worst.
Blue Jays right-hander Alek Manoah allowed one run and four hits in six innings.
RARE RUNS
Romano allowed a run for the first time in 15 appearances. He came in having allowed only one earned run in 28 home appearances this season.
TRAINER´S ROOM
Orioles: 1B Ryan Mountcastle (sore left elbow) was held out of the starting lineup. Mountcastle left Saturday´s game after being hit by a pitch from José Berríos.
Blue Jays: C Alejandro Kirk (left hip) sat for the fifth straight day but is expected to be ready to return Tuesday. The Blue Jays are off Monday. With Kirk out, Jansen caught Manoah for the first time this season.
UP NEXT
Orioles: RHP Tyler Wells (7-6, 3.93 ERA) starts Monday as Baltimore returns home to begin a three-game series against Detroit. LHP Tyler Alexander (3-10, 5.35 ERA) starts for the Tigers.
Blue Jays: RHP Ross Stripling (8-4, 2.94 ERA) starts Tuesday in the opener of a two-game series at Philadelphia. RHP Kyle Gibson (10-6, 4.45 ERA) goes for the Phillies.

THE BIDDING
IN grief and also in profound thanksgiving we come to this House of God, to a place of prayer, to a church where remembrance and hope are sacred duties. Here, where Queen Elizabeth was married and crowned, we gather from across the nation, from the Commonwealth, and from the nations of the world, to mourn our loss, to remember her long life of selfless service, and in sure confidence to commit her to the mercy of God our maker and redeemer.
With gratitude we remember her unswerving commitment to a high calling over so many years as Queen and Head of the Commonwealth. With admiration we recall her life-long sense of duty and dedication to her people. With thanksgiving we praise God for her constant example of Christian faith and devotion. With affection we recall her love for her family and her commitment to the causes she held dear.
Now, in silence, let us in our hearts and minds recall our many reasons for thanksgiving, pray for all members of her family, and commend Queen Elizabeth to the care and keeping of almighty God.
A brief silence is kept.
MERCIFUL God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the resurrection and the life; in whom whosoever believeth shall live, though he die; and whosoever liveth, and believeth in him, shall not die eternally; who hast taught us, by his holy Apostle Saint Paul, not to be sorry, as men without hope, for them that sleep in him: We meekly beseech thee, O Father, to raise us from the death of sin unto the life of righteousness; that, when we shall depart this life, we may rest in him, as our hope is this our sister doth; and that, at the general Resurrection in the last day, we may be found acceptable in thy sight; and receive that blessing, which thy well-beloved Son shall then pronounce to all that love and fear thee, saying, Come, ye blessed children of my Father, receive the kingdom prepared for you from the beginning of the world. Grant this, we beseech thee, O merciful Father, through Jesus Christ, our mediator and redeemer. Amen.
All sing
THE HYMN
THE day thou gavest, Lord, is ended,
the darkness falls at thy behest;
to thee our morning hymns ascended,
thy praise shall sanctify our rest.
We thank thee that thy Church unsleeping,
while earth rolls onward into light,
through all the world her watch is keeping,
and rests not now by day or night.
As o´er each continent and island
the dawn leads on another day,
the voice of prayer is never silent,
nor dies the strain of praise away.
The sun that bids us rest is waking
our brethren ´neath the western sky,
and hour by hour fresh lips are making
thy wondrous doings heard on high.
So be it, Lord; thy throne shall never,
like earth´s proud empires, pass away;
thy kingdom stands, and grows for ever,
till all thy creatures own thy sway.
St Clement John Ellerton (1826-93)
Clement Scholefield (1839-1904)
arranged by James O´Donnell (b 1961)
All sit. The Right Honourable the Baroness Scotland of Asthal KC, Secretary-General of the Commonwealth, reads
THE FIRST LESSON
NOW is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ´s at his coming. Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
1 Corinthians 15: 20-26, 53-end
Thanks be to God.
All remain seated. The choir sings
THE PSALM
LIKE as the hart desireth the water-brooks : so longeth my soul after thee, O God.
My soul is athirst for God, yea, even for the living God : when shall I come to appear before the presence of God?
My tears have been my meat day and night : while they daily say unto me, Where is now thy God?
Now when I think thereupon, I pour out my heart by myself : for I went with the multitude, and brought them forth into the house of God;
In the voice of praise and thanksgiving : among such as keep holy-day.
Why art thou so full of heaviness, O my soul : and why art thou so disquieted within me?
Put thy trust in God : for I will yet give him thanks for the help of his countenance.
Judith Weir CBE (b 1954) Psalm 42: 1-7
composed for this Service
The Right Honourable Elizabeth Truss MP, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, reads
THE SECOND LESSON
LET not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father´s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? He that hath seen me hath seen the Father.
John 14: 1-9a
Thanks be to God.

THE HYMN
THE Lord´s my shepherd, I´ll not want;
he makes me down to lie
in pastures green; he leadeth me
the quiet waters by.
My soul he doth restore again,
and me to walk doth make
within the paths of righteousness,
e´en for his own name´s sake.
The choir sings
Yea, though I walk through death´s dark vale,
yet will I fear none ill;
for thou art with me, and thy rod
and staff me comfort still.

My table thou hast furnishèd
in presence of my foes;
my head thou dost with oil anoint,

Goodness and mercy all my life
shall surely follow me;
and in God´s house for evermore
my dwelling place shall be.

All remain seated. The choir sings
THE ANTHEM
MY soul, there is a country
Far beyond the stars,
Where stands a wingèd sentry
All skilful in the wars:
There above noise, and danger,
Sweet Peace sits crowned with smiles,
And One born in a manger
Commands the beauteous files.
He is thy gracious friend,
And (O my soul, awake!)
Did in pure love descend,
To die here for thy sake.
If thou canst get but thither,
There grows the flower of Peace,
The Rose that cannot wither,
Thy fortress, and thy ease.
Leave then thy foolish ranges,
For none can thee secure,
But One who never changes,
Thy God, thy Life, thy Cure.

O GOD, from whom cometh everything that is upright and true: accept our thanks for the gifts of heart and mind that thou didst bestow upon thy daughter Elizabeth, and which she showed forth among us in her words and deeds; and grant that we may have grace to live our lives in accordance with thy will, to seek the good of others, and to remain faithful servants unto our lives´ end; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Ms Shermara Fletcher, Principal Officer for Pentecostal and Charismatic Relations, Churches Together in England, says
Confident in God´s love and compassion, let us pray for all those whose hearts are heavy with grief and sorrow.
ALMIGHTY God, Father of all mercies and giver of all comfort: deal graciously, we pray thee, with those who mourn, that casting every care on thee, they may know the consolation of thy love; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Right Reverend and Right Honourable Dame Sarah Mullally DBE, Bishop of London and Dean of His Majesty´s Chapels Royal, says
Let us pray for His Majesty The King and all the Royal Family; that they may know the sustaining power of God´s love and the prayerful fellowship of God´s people.
ALMIGHTY God, the fountain of all goodness, we humbly beseech thee to bless our most gracious Sovereign Lord King Charles, Camilla The Queen Consort, William Prince of Wales, and all the Royal Family: endue them with thy Holy Spirit, enrich them with thy heavenly grace; prosper them with all happiness; and bring them to thine everlasting kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Reverend Canon Helen Cameron, Moderator of the Free Churches Group, says
In recognition of Queen Elizabeth´s service to this United Kingdom, let us rejoice in her unstinting devotion to duty, her compassion for her subjects, and her counsel to her ministers; and we pray for the continued health and prosperity of this Nation.
ALMIGHTY God, whose will it is that all thy children should serve thee in serving one another: look with love, we pray thee, on this Nation. Grant to its citizens grace to work together with honest and faithful hearts, each caring for the good of all; that, seeking first thy kingdom and its righteousness, they may possess all things needful for their daily sustenance and the common good; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
His Eminence Cardinal Vincent Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster, says
Let us give thanks for Queen Elizabeth´s commitment to the Commonwealth throughout her reign, for her service and dedication to its peoples, and for the rich bonds of unity and mutual support she sustained.
ALMIGHTY and everlasting God, hear our prayer for the Commonwealth, and grant it the guidance of thy wisdom. Inspire those in authority, that they may promote justice and the common good; give to all its citizens the spirit of mutual honour and respect; and grant to us all grace to strive for the establishment of righteousness and peace; for the honour of thy name. Amen.
The Most Reverend and Right Honourable Stephen Cottrell, Archbishop of York, Primate of
England and Metropolitan, says
We give thanks to God for Queen Elizabeth´s loyalty to the faith she inherited through her baptism and confirmation, and affirmed at her coronation; for her unswerving devotion to the Gospel; and for her steadfast service as Supreme Governor of the Church of England.
ORD, we beseech thee to keep thy household the Church in continual godliness; that through thy protection she may be free from all adversities, and devoutly given to serve thee in all good works, to the glory of thy name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Precentor says
Let us pray that we may be given grace to live as those who believe in the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, and the resurrection to eternal life.
BRING us, O Lord God, at our last awakening into the house and gate of heaven, to enter into that gate and dwell in that house, where there shall be no darkness nor dazzling, but one equal light; no noise nor silence, but one equal music; no fears nor hopes, but one equal possession; no ends nor beginnings, but one equal eternity; in the habitation of thy glory and dominion, world without end. Amen.

In confidence and hope, let us pray to the Father in the words our Saviour taught us,
OUR Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done; on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who
trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

joy of heaven, to earth come down,
fix in us thy humble dwelling,
all thy faithful mercies crown.
Jesu, thou art all compassion,
pure unbounded love thou art;
visit us with thy salvation,
enter every trembling heart.
Come, almighty to deliver,
let us all thy life receive;
suddenly return, and never,
never more thy temples leave.
Thee we would be always blessing,
serve thee as thy hosts above,
pray, and praise thee, without ceasing,
glory in thy perfect love.
Finish then thy new creation,
pure and spotless let us be;
let us see thy great salvation,
perfectly restored in thee,
changed from glory into glory
till in heaven we take our place,
till we cast our crowns before thee,

THE COMMENDATION
The Archbishop of Canterbury says
Let us commend to the mercy of God, our maker and redeemer, the soul of Elizabeth, our late Queen.
HEAVENLY Father, King of kings, Lord and giver of life, who of thy grace in creation didst form mankind in thine own image, and in thy great love offerest us life eternal in Christ Jesus; claiming the promises of thy most blessed Son, we entrust the soul of Elizabeth, our sister here departed, to thy merciful keeping, in sure and certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life, when Christ shall be all in all; who died and rose again to save us, and now liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, in glory for ever. Amen.
O forth, O Christian soul, from this world, in the name of God the Father almighty, who created thee; in the name of Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, who suffered for thee; in the name of the Holy Spirit, who was poured out upon thee and anointed thee. In communion with all the blessed saints, and aided by the angels and archangels and all the armies of the heavenly host, may thy portion this day be in peace, and thy dwelling in the heavenly Jerusalem. Amen.

Astros' Framber Valdez sets single-season quality start mark vs. A's
Framber Valdez set a single-season record for consecutive quality starts and Yordan Alvarez and Martin Maldonado drove in four runs apiece as the Houston Astros pummeled the visiting Athletics 11-2 on Sunday.
Valdez (16-5) surrendered two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out seven in six innings to lower his season ERA to 2.57.
The Astros (96-51), runaway leaders in the American League West, lowered their magic number to clinch the division to two, with second-place Seattle playing later Sunday against the Los Angeles Angels.
Valdez's 25th consecutive quality start leaves him one behind the Mets' Jacob deGrom and the Cardinals' Bob Gibson, who had 26 split over two seasons.
Alvarez, who homered three times on Friday night and once on Saturday, kept punishing Oakland (53-94) on Sunday. He doubled twice, including a shot high off the wall in left-center that cleared the bases during a five-run third inning.
Alvarez went 9-for-17 with the four homers, three doubles, nine RBIs and six runs during the series. He also ran his hitting streak to nine games.
Maldonado went 4-for-4, marking his first four-hit game since 2015. He launched a three-run homer in the seventh inning and also scored four times. Jose Altuve added three of Houston's 15 hits.
Dermis Garcia had two of Oakland's five hits, including a two-run double against Valdez in the sixth inning.
The game's outcome was all but settled when the Astros sent nine batters to the plate in the third. Oakland's Ken Waldichuk (0-2), a September call-up who was making just his fourth major league start, didn't survive the inning. In 2 2/3 innings, he allowed five runs on five hits, with two walks and three strikeouts.
After Alvarez's three-run double, Alex Bregman doubled in a run and scored on Yuli Gurriel's single.
Maldonado and Jeremy Pena had RBI singles in the fifth. After Garcia got the Athletics on the board to make it 7-2 in the sixth, Alvarez added a second RBI double.
Astros relievers Phil Maton, Rafael Montero and Ryan Pressly combined for three scoreless innings, giving up one hit and no walks while fanning five.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Texas Tech linebacker Bryce Ramirez remained hospitalized Sunday, a day after suffering a gruesome left leg injury in the Red Raiders’ loss at 12th-ranked North Carolina State.
Sports medicine staff from Texas Tech were with Ramirez at Wake Medical Center in Raleigh, North Carolina, and will stay with the fourth-year junior until he is able to safely travel back to Lubbock.
Ramirez fractured his lower left leg in the first half Saturday night when he tackled Wolfpack running back Jordan Houston. The pile rolled over Ramirez’s leg, which was planted in the turf. It bent below the knee and was twisted abnormally as he laid on the grass.
Trainers covered the leg with a towel when they began treating him on the field, and ESPN chose not to show a replay of when the injury. The game was stopped for roughly 10 minutes before Ramirez was put on a motorized cart and then transported to the hospital.
In a tweet from his personal account Sunday, Ramirez thanked Texas Tech fans for their support, and ended his message with a red heart and then a black one — the school’s primary colors.
“I appreciate all you guys for all the prayers, love, and support!!! I love you Red Raider Nation!!!” Ramirez tweeted.

LONGMONT, Colo. (AP) — Two small airplanes collided in midair near Denver on Saturday, killing three people, authorities said.
It wasn’t known what might have caused the crash between the four-seater Cessna 172 and the Sonex Xenos, a light, aluminum, homebuilt aircraft that can seat two.
Nearby residents who heard the crash and rushed outside told CBS affiliate 9News in Denver they were surprised the planes could have struck each other on such a clear morning.
One of the planes crashed in a field, the other in a stand of trees, near Vance Brand Airport in Longmont, Colorado, about 30 miles (50 kilometers) north of Denver. Two people were found dead in one wreckage, and one person in the other, the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office said.
The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating. The NTSB said a preliminary report would be released in about 15 days.
The collision happened just before 9 a.m. Saturday. The identities of the victims were not immediately released.

Las Vegas Aces win first WNBA title, Chelsea Gray named MVP
Chelsea Gray scored 20 points to lead the Las Vegas Aces to their first WNBA title in a 78-71 road win over the Connecticut Sun in Game 4 on Sunday.
Gray went 9 of 13 from the floor, and was named MVP after averaging 18 points over the run. The Aces improved to 4-0 in this year's playoffs with two days of rest.
Riquna Williams added 17 points Kelsey Plum added 16 points for the Aces, Jackie Young had 13 and league MVP A'ja Wilson added 11 points to go with 14 rebounds.
Vegas finished on an 8-0 run. As the buzzer sounded Wilson grabbed the ball and stomped the floor before being mobbed by her teammates.
"We champs! We champs! We champs!" Wilson screamed at teammates as they pulled on their championship hats and T-shirts before the trophy ceremony.
It's the first major pro sports title for a team from Las Vegas, and Wilson surely hopes this is just the beginning.
"You see it. You see it," Wilson said in the on-court celebration. "This is what we're building. This is what we're doing. This is it. I'm so happy right now."
Courtney Williams had 17 points to lead Connecticut and Alyssa Thomas had her second straight triple-double with 11 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds. Jonquel Jones added 13 points and DeWanna Bonner had 12.
Las Vegas led by two points at the half and four points after three quarters.
For Aces coach Becky Hammon, who didn't get a title in her standout WNBA career, the ring completed a decades-long quest. She left an assistant coach position with Gregg Popovich and the San Antonio Spurs to take over in Las Vegas, and the move paid off.
"They're unbelievable on the court but they're unbelievable humans, first and foremost," Hammon said. "They care about each other. They invest in each other. It's been an absolute honor to be their coach. I saw excellence and I wanted to be a part of it."
Hammon also paid tribute to former Aces coach Bill Laimbeer, who was on the floor for the ceremony. "He put this team together and saw the pieces," Hammon said.
Aces owner Mark Davis, who also owns the NFL's Las Vegas Raiders, wasn't with his football team Sunday. He was in Connecticut to get a trophy. He hoisted it, then turned it over to gleeful players who did the same.
"Las Vegas, we are world champions," Davis said.
It was a six-point lead in the fourth when Kelsey Plum was called for a flagrant foul after running into Bonner while the Sun guard was attempting a 3-pointer and sending her to the floor holding her right ankle. Bonner hit all three free throws before Jonquel Jones short jumper cut the lead to a point. The Sun then tied the game at 67 on free throw by Courtney Williams and took a 71-70 lead on two fouls shots from Brionna Jones.
But Las Vegas had the answers.
Riquna Williams 3-pointer put the Aces back on top and Chelsea Gray's step-back jumper extended the lead back to 75-71 with under a minute left A'Ja Wilson then stole a pass and Plum hit a short jump shot to secure the win.
Bonner opened the scoring with a leaner from the left wing. But Kelsey Plum's 3-pointer from the left baseline sparked an early 12-0 run for Vegas that shot them out to a 16-6 lead. The Aces, who gave up 34 points to the Sun in in first quarter of Game 3, led 16-12 after 10 minutes on Sunday.
Gray — who overcame some serious injuries that threatened to sidetrack her career in the past — was WNBA Finals MVP, to no one's surprise after averaging 18.3 points and 6 assists in the series.
"My teammates are awesome," Gray said as she broke into tears. "I worked so hard for this."
She wasn't a WNBA All-Star this season, nor was she a first-team all-league pick, and voiced her displeasure about that.
In the end, she also got the last word.
"They can keep that All-Star and first team," Gray said. "I got the ring."

A missing New Mexico woman was found dead and her husband has been arrested in Kansas on suspicion of her murder.
On Sept. 14, New Mexico Department of Transportation employees working on a road sign on Highway 60 near Mountainair found Karla Aguilera dead and in bushes about 20 feet from the roadway, according to a criminal complaint filed by a Valencia County Sheriff’s Office deputy. She had been shot and was wearing a torn and partially removed skirt, according to the complaint.
Aguilera’s daughters had reported her missing on Sept. 6. They told deputies that their step father, Rosalio Aguilera Gamboa, 50, had taken their mother to a hotel two days prior and wouldn’t tell them which hotel.
Deputies noted in the complaint that Aguilera Gamboa has a pending domestic violence charge for allegedly trying to strike Aguilera with a vehicle. He is scheduled to have a hearing next month, according to court records.
Police obtained cell phone records and tracked Aguilera Gamboa’s movements during the days leading up to Aguilera’s daughters reporting her missing. The cell phone records indicated that he had traveled to Garden City, Kansas.
The Associated Press reported Sunday that Aguilera Gamboa had been arrested in Kansas.
Reached Sunday, Aguilera Gamboa’s attorney declined to comment.

King Charles told the Duke of Sussex that the Queen had died five minutes before Buckingham Palace released the official announcement, The Telegraph can reveal.
Prince Harry received a call from his father when he was mid-air, shortly before landing in Aberdeen. By the time his plane touched down, the world had been told that the Queen had died.
A royal source insisted that the duke was not treated differently from any other member of the family, and that the King was not in regular contact with anyone during the course of what was a very difficult day.
"Everybody was trying to get where they needed to be," the source said. "That was the focus.

Advertise with NZME."And the King was adamant that the official statement must not be released until all members of the family had been informed. That was a father talking because he cares."
However, the sequence of events that unfolded following the monarch's demise appears to indicate the extent of the gulf that exists between Harry and his family.
The Queen's downturn is understood to have been relayed to members of the family the previous evening.
At the time, it was not considered urgent enough for them to drop everything and race to Balmoral.
But by the following morning, things had changed. The Queen's Helicopter Flight was scrambled for Prince Charles, as he was then, to fly to Balmoral from Dumfries House.
Later that morning, he called both of his sons with the sad news that their grandmother was not expected to make it, advising them to make travel plans to get to Scotland.
Harry, it is believed, received that call some time after Prince William.
As such, Harry's aides struggled to get a flight, frantically looking at every option to get him to his grandmother.

Advertise with NZME.Meanwhile, his brother joined forces with the Duke of York and the Earl of Wessex, to fly from RAF Northolt to Aberdeen, landing at 3.50pm.
Harry eventually took off from Luton Airport at 5.35pm – an hour after Prime Minister Liz Truss was reportedly informed of the Queen's death.
Why he was not told earlier is unclear. The release of the public statement was delayed until the King managed to reach him on board the aircraft shortly before he touched down.
The statement went out at 6.30pm and the duke's plane landed in Aberdeen at 6.46pm. He was pictured arriving at Balmoral just over an hour later looking ashen-faced. He left alone early the next morning.
Despite the odd joint appearance this week alongside his family, there is little hope of a reconciliation between Harry and his family.
The King's brief reference to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in his televised address was interpreted in some quarters as an olive branch but in others as one made solely for public consumption.
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME.An invitation to Sunday's grand state reception for world leaders at Buckingham Palace was revoked when it emerged that it had been sent to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in error.
Meanwhile, even the U-turn on allowing Harry to wear military uniform at the grandchildren's vigil on Saturday evening ruffled feathers when he discovered he had been being denied the right to bear his grandmother's ER initials on the shoulder of his military uniform.
Harry was given special dispensation by the King to wear Blues and Royals No 1 dress uniform, despite not being a working royal.
But the apparent scene of unity played out at Westminster Hall belied resentment behind the scenes.
The previous day, the duke had been taken aback when he received his uniform from Buckingham Palace to discover that it was missing the ER initials from the shoulder epaulettes.
The aiguillettes – ornamental braided cord – that go hand in hand with the cypher had also been removed.
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME.Such decorations can only be worn by personal aides-de-camp to the sovereign.
The duke was appointed to the honorary role in October 2018 but was stripped of it in February 2021 when it was confirmed he would not be returning to royal duties, meaning he was not entitled to wear them.
Regardless, it triggered a furious exchange of phone calls and messages that was still not resolved on Friday evening.
Such was his frustration, he is said to have considered wearing a morning suit to the vigil to avoid humiliation.
The duke was told it would be sorted out on his arrival at Westminster Hall, but when he eventually emerged in public, he was wearing the uniform as sent by the palace.
Meanwhile, the Prince of Wales, who was also in Blues and Royals No 1 dress uniform, was bearing the late Queen's ER cypher but was missing his aiguillettes, despite having worn them on his RAF No 1 uniform for the procession from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall on Wednesday.

Advertise with NZME.It is thought he may have removed them for the vigil in a bid to appease his brother.
The Duke of York, who was also given special dispensation to wear military uniform for a vigil at his mother's coffin on Friday evening, was wearing the cypher and aiguillettes.
Despite being stripped of his honorary military roles and patronages by the late Queen in January, he remained in the position of aide-de-camp.

UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) — Chelsea Gray scored 20 points to lead the Las Vegas Aces to their first WNBA title in a 78-71 road win over the Connecticut Sun in Game 4 on Sunday.
Gray went 9 of 13 from the floor, and was named MVP after averaging 18 points over the run. The Aces improved to 4-0 in this year’s playoffs with two days rest.

In the end, she also got the last word.
“They can keep that All-Star and first team,” Gray said. “I got the ring.”
SCRAPPY GAME
As expected, it was a physical game appropriately played on an NFL Sunday. The Sun got a scare when Bonner took an inadvertent elbow to the gut from Gray late in the first quarter and and was on the floor for a few minutes before being helped to the bench. She came back into the game later in the half, apparently suffering no ill effects. Natisha Hiedeman and Plum got into a short pushing match in the second quarter, eliciting technical fouls on both players. That was all before Plum’s flagrant in the fourth.
INCLUSIVE ORGANIZATIONS
Before the game, both coaches reflected on the makeup of organizations in the Final. The Aces are led by Hammon and two Black women executives in general manager Nikki Williams and Nikki Fargas, president of business operations. The Sun are owned by the Mohegan Tribe, have a woman president in Jen Rizzotti and are coached by Curt Miller, a gay man.
“Women’s basketball is such a story in terms of diversity and inclusion. I mean, our our league defines it and I’m so proud to be a part of it, Miller said, adding that he hopes to be an inspiration to any gay child “wondering if they can chase a career in sports.”
Hammon said she believes the diversity in her team’s front office has made it stronger
“You can make a lot better picture with a box full of crayons than just a pencil,” she said.
RAIDERS’ SUPPORT
The start of the celebration was shown on the video screens at the Raiders’ stadium during the NFL game against Arizona on Sunday, with fans breaking into loud cheers. They can cheer more in a few days: a parade on the Las Vegas Strip is planned for Thursday evening.
“What a team, what talent, what a victory! You have made Las Vegas so proud!” Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman said in a statement. “Thank you for your effort, discipline & focus. We can’t wait for the celebrations & a great parade!”
TIP-INS
The Aces are the fourth WNBA team to win a title with both a league MVP and coach of the year … The Sun have been among the last four WNBA teams standing for each of the last four seasons, making it back to the Finals for the first time since 2019.

Uganda's transplant revolution brings hope to thousands
By Patience Atuhaire
BBC News, Kampala
- Published
Uganda's parliament is scrutinising a proposed law that would enable organ transplants to happen in the country for the first time, transforming the lives of thousands hoping for operations.
Annita Twongyeirwe had pictured a different future for herself.
But since being diagnosed with kidney failure three years ago, the 28-year-old is preoccupied either by having dialysis or thinking about the next session.
"It has taken over my life," she says, looking defeated.
During dialysis a machine essentially performs the kidneys' function and cleans the blood of waste products and excess fluids.
Each session lasts about four hours and she has to go to hospital twice a week. In between sessions she spends most of her time at home - a relative's house - helping out with chores where she can, and keeping an eye on a WhatsApp group she created through which friends and well-wishers can donate money.
"I was this ambitious girl. I wanted to go further with studies. I would probably be somebody's girlfriend or wife, so all that life is cut short. It took away all the dreams I had," she adds.
A kidney transplant could bring them back.
But an operation abroad, currently the only option, comes with a price tag of about $30,000 (£26,000) - and is out of reach of most.
Hundreds of Ugandans, who like Ms Twongyeirwe cannot afford this, live on dialysis for as long as possible. But even at the subsidised price of around $100 a week for the treatment and drugs, that is more than five times the average total income in Uganda and so is only an option for a small fraction of the population.
The ward at Kiruddu National Referral Hospital on the edge of the capital, Kampala, is the only public health facility in the country that offers this service. Almost 200 patients attend the clinic regularly, many of them traveling long distances.
But they represent only a fraction of those countrywide living with kidney failure and in need of specialised care.
"They leave their families and livelihoods behind to live close to the hospital. This is an unnatural situation," Dr Daniel Kiggundu, the only kidney specialist working at the unit, tells the BBC.
The ward is a cacophony of beeping machines, as nurses weave through dialysis stations attending to patients.
Some of those getting treatment seem extremely weak, drifting in and out of sleep, while others sit up and chat with their carers.
The clinic runs two shifts each day, each of them taking in about 30 patients. It operates dangerously close to full capacity and there is little spare time to prepare the patients for treatment.
When Ms Twongyeirwe is due for a session, she spends the night at the hospital in order to be ready in time.
She first realised she was unwell when her entire body began to swell in 2018 and she spent 18 months going from clinic to clinic before she got the right diagnosis.
Her life was turned upside-down.
She had to drop out of university where she was studying law and she lost her job. She also moved from her family home in western Uganda to Kampala, to live close to the hospital.
At home, the soft-spoken woman goes about washing dishes with such grace that, save for the plaster on her arm, it is hard to tell that she has just returned from a dialysis session.
'I feel like a burden'
"When I return from the hospital I rest because the whole body is weak. Later, I do some work around the house to stay active," she explains.
Ms Twongyeirwe raises the money needed each week from friends and family.
"I feel like a burden to people who help me pay for dialysis. Whenever somebody sees your call, they know you want money from them."
She has also turned to family members to see if someone would want to donate a kidney.
She says a cousin had been willing but then changed their mind.
Even if that offer had remained, Ms Twongyeirwe would still have had to raise more money and get approval from the medical authorities to fly abroad for the operation. If the new law is passed then one of the hurdles would be removed.
Uganda would be joining a short list of African countries, including South Africa, Tunisia and Kenya, that have both the regulations and health facilities for organ transplants to be possible within their borders.
At the moment India and Turkey are the most popular destinations for Ugandan kidney patients. Only close relatives are allowed to be donors and trips have to be approved by the Uganda Medical Board - to prevent organ trafficking or people being coerced to offer their organs.
But if parliament approves the new measure, then the process should be more straightforward and the cost for surgery and recovery care could come down to about $8,000.
Those backing it say Uganda needs special legislation to create a safe framework under strict regulation to make sure there is no abuse.
The proposal includes the creation of a national waiting list of organ recipients as well as the establishment of specialised transplant centres around the country. An operating theatre has already been set up at the main national hospital in Mulago, Kampala.
Organ banks will also be created for those who want to donate - and not just for kidneys
"We are [also] thinking of corneal transplants for the eyes [and] skin banks for patients who have burns," says Dr Fualal Jane Odubu, chairperson of the Uganda Medical Board.
About 100 Ugandan health workers, including surgeons, nurses and post-surgery specialists have already been trained abroad, mostly in carrying out kidney transplantations.
Despite the hope that this could bring, there will still be a waiting list and the need to raise money.
Ms Twongyeirwe says that despair is never far away.
"The other patients and I have become family. The most difficult days are when you turn up at the clinic and find that someone died. We lost a little boy recently and that was very hard to cope with," she says, holding back tears.
But for her the new law could be transformational.
"It would help patients like us be able to get transplants. Donating a kidney is giving someone another life.
"Some people fear incurring all the costs of traveling abroad, and you might get there, and the donor changes their mind. So if the transplant is being done here at home it's less stressful."

GUADALAJARA, Mexico (AP) — Their spiritual leader is behind bars in California after pleading guilty to sexually abusing minors. Yet legions of followers of Naasón Joaquín García in his home base in Mexico remain fervently loyal to him, viewing his imprisonment as a challenge that will strengthen their church, La Luz del Mundo (The Light of the World), rather than weaken it.
His continued hold on his flock was evident recently at the Christian church’s main temple in Guadalajara, as thousands gathered to pray for their absent leader during their Holy Supper, the most sacred festivity for La Luz del Mundo. To gasps of surprise, Joaquín García addressed the congregation by telephone from his Los Angeles prison, where he is serving a 16-year sentence.
“I do not see the bars that separate me from you,” he told his followers. “I see your beautiful faces … because you are the children of God.”
Even outside the temple, the sound of his voice stirred emotions among dozens of devotees guarding entries to the sanctuary. Nearly all closed their eyes. Many lifted their fists. Some knelt and wept.
Near the end of the call, Joaquín García asked his followers to raise their hands and their voices to God and repeat after him: “I promise you, Lord, that whatever the suffering, I will never abandon you.”
It seems clear that many members of the church, founded in Mexico in 1926 and now active in many countries, aren’t ready to abandon Joaquín García as their “apostle” — the term used for the church’s leader. Many believe he was sent by God to preach to them and are convinced he is innocent, despite his guilty plea.
“The apostle always shows determination to move forward,” said Phares Ruiz, who traveled from El Salvador to attend the Holy Supper. “He’s firm in his convictions, and the church is firm as well in its purpose of moving forward.”
Ruiz told The Associated Press that his family has belonged to La Luz del Mundo for three generations.
Joaquín García, 53, was arrested in 2019 in California. He initially faced more than 20 charges, but most were dismissed after a plea deal with prosecutors. The church contended that prosecutors withheld or doctored evidence, and said Joaquín García pleaded guilty because he didn’t think he could get a fair trial.
“The Apostle of Jesus Christ has had no choice but to accept with much pain that the agreement presented is the best way forward to protect the church and his family,” the church said.
The home base of the church is the Guadalajara neighborhood of Hermosa Provincia, Spanish for “beautiful province.” Jericho, Bethlehem and Nazareth are among the names of roads converging on the white temple that locals call “the cake,” for its white tiers that diminish in size as they rise upward.
Congregation members in the neighborhood call each other “brother” and “sister” and take pride in helping one another. The church’s media relations office claims there is no crime in the area.
The neighborhood has cafeterias, clinics, a recreation center and a store that sells Bibles and religious-themed games for children. From the walls hang photographs of Joaquín García, smiling and wearing a tuxedo. Spanning the main street is a sculpture spelling “innocent” in Spanish.
Sara Pozos, 49, is among many in the neighborhood who believe their leader’s imprisonment has strengthened the church.
“I think it changed for the better in the sense that now we feel more united, and we feel more empowered,” she said.
“It has been a very difficult issue, of course, for him and for us,” she added. “We all suffer something in life, but one learns to know those moments where you see that God is doing something to help you, to get ahead, not to let you fall.”
Another neighborhood resident, Sailem Castillo, also said she was upbeat despite Joaquín García’s imprisonment.
“For us everything is very nice, everything continues to work,” she said. “Ministers, pastors and deacons have their same duties. They bless the bread, the wine, and do other things as if he were here, although physically he is not.”
The jailed leader is the grandson of La Luz del Mundo’s founder: Eusebio Joaquín González, a member of the military who began preaching in 1926. He’s known to church members as Aarón — a result, he said, of God asking him to change his name.
Aarón’s wife was the church’s first member. Today it claims a membership of more than 5 million in some 50 nations.
La Luz del Mundo is sometimes described as evangelical, but its members do not embrace this term. The church’s doctrine is learned from the cradle. Parents give biblical names to their children and take them to the temple at 40 days old to promise they will guide them to follow their path.
Most teachings translate into something quotidian. During services, the women sit to the right and men to the left. In some cities, people tithe more than 10% of their monthly income to the church. Biblical verses are cited to explain behavior.
Castillo, a recently married woman of 25, told AP the church advises members how “to lead a decent life,” in which women may not drink alcohol or go out on frequent dates. Like other women in Hermosa Provincia, she wears dresses and skirts that are not form-fitting, eschews makeup and earrings and wears her hair long.
The religion is ”very demanding,” said Arlene M. Sánchez-Walsh, a professor of religious studies at Azusa Pacific University, a Christian institution near Los Angeles.
“It is not sufficient to say ‘I have converted’ or “I have baptized’” she said. “You have to follow certain steps to prove your loyalty.”
For some young people, these steps include memorizing songs honoring the apostle, reading the Bible before bed and not marrying someone from outside the church.
“All this goes to show that although you are part of this world, you have accepted a very particular way of life because you are Christian,” Sánchez-Walsh said.
Those born in the community are baptized at 14 because, according to the church, that lets them decide whether to reaffirm or leave the faith. Nevertheless, there are former members who say their ceremony was not optional.
Ahead of the baptism, in a ritual known as “the revivals,” children undergo days of prayer and fasting inside a temple. The revival consists of repeating “Glory to Christ” nonstop until the youths are heard speaking in tongues to testify that the Holy Spirit has entered them.
For Raquel Haifa, 43, fulfilling the revivals was a traumatizing experience that she considers abusive, because minors are not able to decline to take part.
“I did cry, because I was saying, ‘God, deliver me from this, make this time pass quickly,’” Haifa said from Texas.
Currently, journalists are not allowed to attend services or take photographs inside the church’s temples. Since Joaquín García’s arrest, La Luz del Mundo’s media relations team says it cannot make official statements on his case because litigation is ongoing.
On Sept. 8 a lawsuit was filed in California against Joaquín García and four church members alleged to be complicit in the sex abuse. The suit was filed by five women who — under the pseudonym Jane Doe — were identified as victims in the original criminal charges against him.
It accuses Joaquín García of conditioning victims, under the guise of religion, to serve him above all else, ultimately resulting in the sexual abuse over the course of several years.
The lawsuit includes detailed accounts from the five plaintiffs alleging that they were pressured by Joaquín García and his associates into performing for pornographic photo shoots, and were forced to engage in sex acts with him.
“The church weaponized the faith of their most vulnerable members,” said Jonati Joey Yedidsion, one of the lawyers handling the lawsuit. “Instead of protecting those innocent women, Naasón and the church fostered and then brutally preyed on their blind trust and allegiance in the ‘Apostle’”.
The case has been difficult for some former members who have distanced themselves from the church.
Speaking on a podcast called “I Left a Sect,” Lo-ami Salazar said Hermosa Provincia used to be her “happy place.”
“Knowing that these abuses took place there, in my happy place, in my safe place, is horrible,” she said.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The Saints have scratched top running back Alvin Kamara from Sunday’s lineup against Tampa Bay because of a rib injury that has bothered him since New Orleans’ Week 1 victory at Atlanta.
Kamara, who was listed as questionable on Friday’s injury report, is one of the New Orleans’ most productive players as both a runner and receiver.
Kamara left the Saints’ Sept. 11 game in the fourth quarter but initially said afterward that he believed he would be fine. After practicing on a limited basis on Wednesday, he sat out practices on Thursday and Friday.
With Kamara out, veteran Mark Ingram is expected to get the bulk of the work at running back, backed up by Dwayne Washington and Tony Jones Jr.
Kamara is among several established skill players ruled out for the game, including Tampa Bay receivers Julio Jones (knee) and Chris Godwin (hamstring), as well as Saints receiver Tre’Quan Smith (shoulder), who returned to practice this week after sitting out in Week 1.
New Orleans also scratched second-year defensive end Payton Turner, a 2021 first-round draft choice who blocked the Falcon’s 63-yard field goal attempted at the end of regulation in Week 1. He was not on this week’s injury report.

A recaptured Ukrainian town offers a window into life under Russian occupation
A recaptured Ukrainian town offers a window into life under Russian occupation
Ukrainians are finding danger and destruction in their towns recently retaken from Russia's troops.
AYESHA RASCOE, HOST:
Now for a look at what and who remain in one small town that the Ukrainian military recaptured from Russian forces a few days ago. Thousands of square miles of territory in the east ended up back under Kyiv's control amid a sweeping offensive. The rapid change offers a window into life under Russian occupation in some of the areas along the former front line. NPR's Jason Beaubien reports.
JASON BEAUBIEN, BYLINE: Prior to the Russian invasion in February, the village of Hrakove was a small farming community, halfway between Kharkiv and Izium. Russian forces seized Hrakove in the first days of the war. Most of the residents who could escaped. Some fled west into Ukrainian-held territory; others fled east, deeper into Russian-controlled areas, seeking safety in larger towns and cities. The ones who stayed found themselves not only under Russian occupation, but under constant shelling as the two armies fired missiles at each other across the front line.
VICTOR MARAEV: (Speaking Russian).
BEAUBIEN: A retired construction worker named Victor Maraev shows where shrapnel ripped through his living room. He says he spent the first week of the Russian occupation being held in a makeshift jail in the basement of a municipal building in town. His offense was owning a pair of binoculars.
MARAEV: (Speaking Russian).
BEAUBIEN: He says his captors beat him and insisted that the 61-year-old tell them who he was relaying information to on the Ukrainian side. After a week, the Russians lost interest in him, he says, and let him go. According to Maraev, the occupying soldiers were a mix of Russians and what he refers to as rebels from the so-called Luhansk People's Republic. This is a part of Ukraine that broke away in 2014 and is backed by Russia. Most of the soldiers were terrified to be there, he says.
MARAEV: (Through interpreter) They were lied to. They were made to sign contracts, but they didn't want to fight. They were afraid.
BEAUBIEN: As he shows us the damaged buildings in the village, an ambulance crew is collecting the body of a man killed by a landmine just a few hours earlier. The mine, Maraev says, had been laid on the edge of town by Russian troops on a path that led to vast agricultural fields. But no crops were planted this year. The fields are now overgrown with weeds, grass and a few volunteer sunflowers. Maraev says almost every building in town is damaged, mostly from shelling. Some are destroyed completely. There's no electricity or phone service in the village. The gas lines for heat are broken. Ukrainian officials are already sending in truckloads of emergency supplies to the recently liberated territory but face a massive undertaking to restore basic infrastructure. Maraev tells me and my interpreter that the whole Russian occupation was senseless.
MARAEV: (Through interpreter) And they just came, destroyed everything and fled.
BEAUBIEN: The Russian-aligned soldiers fled so quickly, they left behind military vehicles in the street. Maraev shows us the simple house that the Russians had been using as their headquarters during the occupation.
MARAEV: (Through interpreter) Here was their, like, base.
BEAUBIEN: It's strewn with trash. Air mattresses are on the floor. In the corner of the living room, there's a pile of rocket-propelled grenades. As we're leaving, Ukrainian soldiers turn up, asking if there are any stockpiles of weapons around. Maraev leads them up the overgrown grass path to the house with the grenades.
Meanwhile, just across what had been the front line, in the city of Chuhuiv, a shop owner named Ludmila Kladovschikova says the last week has been an emotional roller coaster. Chuhuiv was never occupied, but it was constantly rocked by both incoming and outgoing artillery explosions.
LUDMILA KLADOVSCHIKOVA: (Through interpreter) It was very scary here because they were very close and, you know, artillery, missiles. But it's OK.
BEAUBIEN: Now she says she cries every time she sees what she calls our boys rolling through the streets in tanks and other military vehicles. And after more than six months of war, she says one of the best things now is that the nightly artillery battles have finally stopped. There's still the occasional explosion, but she says she now has gone back to sleeping in her bedroom rather than the hallway.

(NEXSTAR) — Does anybody like going to the airport? Whether you find it glamorous or treacherous, moving through an airport is a hard-to-avoid event if you want to see the world. But not all airports are created equal, apparently.
This year, travel news and resources company Frommer’s ranked the 10 “worst” airports in the U.S. based on “flight delays, security wait times, customer satisfaction surveys, and the reviews of experts.”
These are the 10 worst airports in the U.S., according to Frommer’s:
10. Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) — This Virginia airport’s layout and location were among the outlet’s main complaints, though it was noted for being attractively built. Airport manager Richard Golinowski recently told The Washington Post he’s aware some of the older buildings are “starting to see some problems,” but noted they’re working to address these issues, including adding a 14-gate concourse expected to be complete in 2026.
9. West Virginia International Yeager Airport (CRW) — The location of this airport in Charleston, West Virginia, is labeled “scary” by Frommer’s — the site is surrounded on all sides by cliffs. The facility was previously known only as Yeager Airport, but was renamed in January in order to be classified as “international,” WOWK in Charleston reports. Its international U.S. Customs service won’t be ready until December, however.
8. Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) — Delays and cancellations landed this massive hub in north Central Texas at eighth on the list. But DFW recently became the U.S. airport with the most nonstop flights (a title it previously held) and is currently offering about 239 nonstop destinations, according to aviation news outlet Simple Flying.
7. Denver International Airport (DIA) — Turbulence. Denver is surrounded by mountainous, hilly areas, and this can result in bumpier flights than many may be used to. (Apparently, mountains + wind = air waves.) The Federal Aviation Administration has a Tips of Mountain Flying manual that Frommer’s notes could be useful here.
6. Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE) — This Ohio airport is dinged by Frommer’s for needed updates and lack of space. A 2019 J.D. Power customer satisfaction study placed CLE even worse, coming second-to-last.
5. Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) — Some tough traffic and closed roads near the City of Brotherly Love’s main airport make for a rocky trip for passengers, both Frommer’s and J.D. Power say. The latter named PHL dead last on its 2021 airport customer satisfaction survey.
4. O’Hare International Airport (ORD) — Chicago’s massive airport is considered still too small by Frommer’s, and often-delayed flights didn’t help its ranking. Meanwhile, J.D. Power ranked it last on its 2021 customer satisfaction survey for “mega”-sized airports.
3. Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) — It may be the only airport with a two-part “LOST” episode named after it, but getting lost at it is also a complaint, based on ratings. The airport is noted to have a “confusing” layout and, like most of Los Angeles, traffic problems.
2. LaGuardia Airport (LGA) — One of New York City’s major airports is clocked for running late on the clock, as Frommer’s says delays and cancellations are common at LGA. Data from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) shows 22.52% of flights were delayed or cancelled from July 2019 to July 2021. To remedy some of these problems, LGA has undergone a few alterations (see below).
1. Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) — BTS data shows 24.29% of flights at this New Jersey airport were delayed or cancelled between July 2019 and July 2021. Recently, EWR was shifted from being part of the NYC code by the International Air Transport Association, reported Travel + Leisure. What will this mean for flyers? Perhaps less competition for flights and thus higher prices for travelers to New York, T+L says. Yahoo! Finance reports the change is set to go into effect Oct. 3.
LaGuardia, the second-worst on Frommer’s list, has since undergone billions of dollars worth of renovations, transforming from what Bloomberg called in June a “once-infamous” airport into one named the best in design and architecture by an international jury for the Prix Versailles Award.
Meanwhile, Fundera, a small business resources site run by NerdWallet, also ranked the five worst regional airports for business travelers based on convenience and flight performance/availability. Its “worst” airports were, in order from least-worst to worst: Palm Beach International Airport, Albuquerque International Sunport, Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, Anchorage Ted Stevens International Airport, and Memphis International Airport.
Fundera found Memphis airport’s single business lounge and lack of direct flights lacking, ultimately ranking it as the worst, Travel Channel reported. But proving that “best” and “worst” may be in the eye of the beholder, Fundera ranked LAX — Frommer’s third-worst — as its fifth best for business travelers, citing affordable parking fees and flight availability.
Safe travels wherever you fly from — and may your stresses stay low.

Washington made its season debut in The Associated Press college football on Sunday at No. 18, and Penn State and Oregon moved into the top 15 after all three had decisive nonconference victories.
A weekend filled with blowouts by highly ranked teams kept the top 10 almost unchanged.
No. 1 Georgia picked up six more first-place votes in the AP Top 25 presented by Regions Bank. The Bulldogs are up to 59 first-place votes and 1,569 points.
No. 2 Alabama received three first-place votes and No. 3 Ohio State got one.
No. 4 Michigan, No. 5 Clemson, No. 6 Oklahoma and No. 7 Southern California all held their spots. The one change in the top 10 was No. 8 Kentucky flip-flopping with No. 9 Oklahoma State. Arkansas stayed at No. 10.
The top 10 teams, most playing overmatched nonconference opponents, won their games Saturday by a combined 521-120.
The shuffling came in the next 10.
No. 11 Tennessee moved up four spots. Penn State jumped eight to No. 14 after routing Auburn on the road. No. 15 Oregon moved up 10 spots after handily defeating BYU, which slipped seven places to No. 19.
Washington beat previously ranked Michigan State 39-28 to earn a ranking for the first time since the 2021 preseason poll. Washington has had two brief stays in the AP Top 25 the last two seasons but has been mostly unranked since the early part of the 2019 season.
“To get this win now is just going to continue to put this belief in our guys. It’s only going to get better for us as we go to work in practice,” first-year Washington coach Kalen DeBoer told reporters after the game.
Michigan State dropped all the way out after being No. 11.
Mississippi moved up four spots to No. 16 and No. 20 Florida slipped a couple of spots after barely getting by South Florida at home.
At the bottom of the rankings, Miami dropped 12 spots and landed at No. 25 after losing at Texas A&M. The Aggies went up one to No. 23.
POLL POINTS
The 10-0 weekend from the top 10 was the first since they all played and won in Week 2 of the 2019 season.
Overall, the AP Top 25 teams won 22 games, the most since 24 teams won in Week 1 of 2019.
— Washington’s leap into the poll from unranked to No. 18 was the best for the program since September 1989, when the Huskies beat Texas A&M and went from outside the rankings to No. 15.
CONFERENCE CALL
The Pac-12 has its most ranked teams since the first regular-season poll of 2021, when it had five.
SEC — 8 (Nos. 1, 2, 8, 10, 11, 16, 20, 23).
ACC — 5 (Nos. 5, 12, 21, 24, 25).
Big 12 — 4 (Nos. 6, 9, 17, 22).
Pac-12 — 4 (Nos. 7, 13, 15, 18).
Big Ten — 3 (Nos. 3, 4, 14).
Independents — 1 (No. 19).
RANKED vs. RANKED
No. 5 Clemson at No. 21 Wake Forest. For the first time since 1950, the Tigers and Demon Deacons will meet as ranked teams.
No. 20 Florida at No. 11 Tennessee. For the first time since 2017, the teams that used to own the SEC East are both ranked when they play.
No. 10 Arkansas vs. No. 23 Texas A&M at Arlington, Texas. It’s not getting any easier for the Aggies.

(The Hill) – Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, said in a new interview that the “anti-vaxxer attitude” of some Americans risks causing non-COVID virus outbreaks in the U.S.
“I’m concerned the acceleration of an anti-vaxxer attitude in certain segments of the population…might spill over into that kind of a negative attitude towards childhood vaccinations,” Fauci told The Financial Times in an interview published Sunday.
“If you fall back on vaccines against common vaccine-preventable childhood diseases, that’s where you wind up getting avoidable and unnecessary outbreaks.,” Fauci added.
Fauci, who announced last month that he will step down from his positions in the Biden administration in December, said political division is one factor driving anti-vaxxer sentiment, noting how some states have not promoted COVID-19 vaccination and Congress has failed to advance billions of dollars in funding.
The World Health Organization (WHO) released a report in July showing that vaccination among children declined more during the COVID-19 pandemic than at any time in the past 30 years.
Fauci’s remark comes after New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) declared a state of emergency last week due to the spread of polio through wastewater, spurring the state to ramp up vaccinations against the virus.
The U.S.’s COVID-19 vaccination rate amongst adults is still at 67 percent, according to CDC data, but is well below other countries.
Fauci also said in an interview with Bloomberg Law earlier this month that the U.S. should prepare for a bad flu season.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – The Beaverton Bed Bath & Beyond will close by the end of 2022, according to a list posted to the company’s website in September.
The store at 2780 SW Cedar Hills Blvd. is one of more than 50 closing by the end of the year. It is the only location in Oregon that’s on the list.
The one Washington store that’s closing is in Lakewood.
In its Business & Strategic Update Presentation from Aug. 31, 2022, the company said, “We are making sweeping changes to serve our customers, drive growth and profitability, and deliver business returns.”
Bed Bath & Beyond said it is evaluating opportunities to augment capital structure and working to regain dominance as the destination for customers, with the products they want and the experiences they seek.
The company said its second quarter sales in 2022 declined 26% from the previous year.
In a press release posted on August 31, Bed Bath & Beyond said it would close approximately 150 “lower-producing” banner stores and cut approximately 20% of its corporate and supply chain workforce.
The company expects those changes will reduce selling, general and administrative expenses by approximately $250 million in 2022.
Bed Bath & Beyond’s chief financial officer Gustavo Arnal died on Sept. 2 after jumping from a luxury highrise in Manhattan. His death was ruled a suicide.
Arnal’s death came days after the company announced it would be closing stores and laying off workers.

Coyote offense comes alive to get first win
USD goes over 400 yards of offense in 38-21 victory over Cal Poly
Published: Sep. 18, 2022 at 6:23 PM CDT|Updated: 36 minutes ago
VERMILLION, S.D. (Dakota News Now) - A South Dakota Coyote offense that scored just seven points in its first two games finally came to life in yesterday’s 38-21 win over Cal Poly.
It was the first game for head coach Bob Nielson as offensive play caller after taking the duties over from offensive coordinator Ted Schlafke. The performance was a bit of a mixed bag. Though USD had 421 total yards of offense and scored 21 points in the first quarter, they were mostly ineffective in the 2nd and 3rd before finding rhythm again in the fourth.
Most important was getting the win and some positive momentum to build off ahead of next Saturday’s 1 PM game in the Dakota Dome with top-ranked North Dakota State.

Dodgers’ David Price isn’t quite ready to say he’s retiring after season
David Price hasn’t decided if he will retire at the end of the season.
At least not yet officially.
After a report from USA Today on Sunday morning said the Dodgers veteran was planning to retire at the end of the season, Price clarified with reporters that he has yet to make a final decision and that he first wants to focus on finishing the year.
It echoed what Price had told The Times during a Saturday afternoon interview at Oracle Park.
The Dodgers bullpen has became of the best in the majors even with a rash of injuries and inconsistency from closer Craig Kimbrel.
“Just want to see how this year unfolds,” the left-handed pitcher said, “and see what happens in October.”
It’s certainly possible, if not likely, that this is the final year of Price’s decorated 14-year career — which is part of the reason he has been striving to return from a wrist injury that has kept him out since the start of this month.
“My last couple appearances [before getting hurt], I didn’t throw the ball the way I wanted to,” Price said. “If this is it, I want to go out strong.”
There are few accolades Price hasn’t achieved since breaking into the majors in 2008. He won a Cy Young Award in 2012, and an ERA title that year as well as in 2015. He is a five-time All-Star with 157 wins. He’s received a couple World Series rings, too, with the Boston Red Sox in 2018 and the Dodgers in 2020 (though he sat out that season because of the pandemic).
This year, Price is hoping he can be part of another title team.
A full-time reliever for the first time in his career, he has a 2.58 ERA in 38 appearances, providing some experienced depth in a bullpen that has battled injuries.
“Just kind of found a routine for myself that works,” Price said of the transition. “It’s a lot different being in the bullpen as a starter. Just finding that routine, it took me a little over a year to find it. But once I found it, things started to click, was able to get outs quickly, bounce back and feel good.”
Manager Dave Roberts said Price had dealt with some minor ailments over the course of the season.
Yet, it wasn’t until the recent flare-up of his wrist — a body part that has given him trouble before, including requiring surgery in 2019 — that an injured list stint became necessary.
Price said his recovery has been going well. He felt good in both of his bullpen sessions this past week, and could begin facing live hitting again in the coming days.
If that goes well, he should be back on the active roster before the end of the season, though his chances of making the playoff roster remain unclear, with several other relievers expected back soon from injuries, too.
“We have a lot of moving parts, moving pieces and a lot of good options,” Roberts said. “So I don’t know how it’s gonna fit.”
What would Roberts think if Price, whose contract with the Dodgers expires this offseason, calls it quits after the campaign?
“He’s had a great career,” Roberts said. “The legacy that he has being a teammate is first class. But I’m sure he’s motivated to get back and pitch and be healthy. He’s worked hard to do that, and my hope would be that he would get healthy and be able to help us.”
Long term, Price still has to decide if a 15th MLB season fits in his larger plans.
While rehabilitating at the Dodgers’ spring training complex in Arizona at the start of his IL stint this month, the 37-year-old got to spend some time at home with his wife and two young children.
“It’s a grind,” he said with a laugh. “When they’re not in school, on those weekends, it’s a lot.”
As Price went through rehab work Saturday in San Francisco, his oldest, 5-year-old Xavier, was playing in his first coach-pitch baseball game back home.
“I got a lot of it on video and stuff like that,” Price said, standing in right field after completing a bullpen session. “But …”
Julio Urías pitched six strong innings, and the Dodgers rolled past the San Francisco Giants 7-2 on Saturday night to earn their 100th win this season.
His voice tailed off.
In case he does decide to retire this winter, Price has made a point of soaking in the little things a more this season.
“I’m trying to have as much fun as possible and enjoy being with the guys,” he said. “That’s something I’ve always loved. I love the game of baseball, but even more than that, I love being in the clubhouse, I love being on the airplane, on the bus. To me, that’s what I would miss the most, not playing anymore.”
Until then, however, he’s hoping for at least one more chance to get back on a big league mound — and be part of a postseason October run.
“I want to get back to throwing the baseball like [earlier in the year], help this team these last two or three weeks and see what happens in October,” he said.

NAPA, Calif. — Max Homa chipped in from nearly 33 feet for birdie on the closing hole, then watched as Danny Willett shockingly three-putted from inside 4 feet on Sunday to give Homa his second straight title at the Fortinet Championship.
He rammed his first putt 4 feet, 8 inches by, then missed the comebacker to hand Homa his fifth victory on tour.
“Them things happen. Luckily we’ve been in a good position all week and then unfortunate things happen when you feel like you need them most,” said Willett, who’s winless in the United States since he took advantage of Jordan Spieth’s collapse to win the 2016 Masters.
Homa closed with a 4-under 66 for a total of 16-under 272 and now heads to Charlotte, North Carolina, as a captain’s pick for the Presidents Cup with three wins in the past 12 months. Willett shot 69. Taylor Montgomery was alone in third at 13 under after a closing 64.
The leaders had their tee times pushed up by nearly four hours in an effort to get the round in before the North course at Silverado Resort & Spa became completely unplayable. Greens that had been hard and fast earlier in the week from the sun and wind were suddenly quite the opposite, slow and soft from all the water.
Justin Lower held a one-stroke lead going into the final day while chasing his first title after years of struggles just to secure his tour card. The 33-year-old American wound up tied for fourth with Byeong Hun An at 12 under after shooting a 1-over 73.
Willett birdied three holes on the front nine to take a three-stroke lead, only to miss a short par putt on the par-5 ninth as Lower birdied to pull back within a stroke.
Homa and Willett began the day one shot back of Lower. All three players birdied the par-4 10th.
On the par-4 14th, Willett made a miraculous birdie. His tee shot landed behind a tree, and then he whipped the ball around it to the back side of the fringe before sinking a 5-foot putt.
On the front nine, Willett birdied Nos. 1, 4 and 8 — making a 7-footer for birdie on the par-4 eighth while Lower made bogey.
The 34-year-old Willett, from Sheffield, England, stayed loose, laughed with his caddied and smiled between holes in far from ideal conditions in California’s famous wine country: wind and heavy rain the first three holes, a brief respite, then more rain. He regularly toweled off his clubs, wiped off his shoes before putting and took on and off his black sleeveless vest.
The weather made for an intimate gallery of umbrella-holding diehards willing to brave the elements.
“It’s what I came to California for,” Willett cracked with a grin in the early going of his final round.

Dietitian shares how she lost 13 kilos after having a baby despite 'lacking the time and energy' to hit the gym and running on no sleep
- Dietician Leanne Ward has revealed how she lost 13 kilos postpartum
- The Brisbane mum-of-one shared before and after photos of her progress
- She focused on a fat loss diet when she didn't have time or energy for the gym
- Leanne lost an average of 1.94kg each month and is back to her pre-baby weight
A top Aussie dietician has revealed how she shed more than 13 kilograms in seven months after having a baby.
Leanne Ward, from Brisbane, gave birth to her daughter Mia eight months ago and said she 'worked incredibly hard' to get her pre-baby body back.
The mum-of-one said she lost an average of 1.94 kilos per month by following a fat-loss diet and staying consistent with her healthy routine.
Brisbane dietician Leanne Ward (pictured) has revealed how she managed to lose 13kilos in seven months after giving birth to her daughter
'The biggest thing I have learnt is that making healthy choices and exercising regularly is hard with little sleep, full time work, a baby, running two businesses, trying to have a social life and building a new house,' Leanne wrote in a post to Instagram.
'Sure, genetics might play a role here but I also worked incredibly hard the last seven months and have lost a total of 13.6kg from my one week postpartum weight.'
The nutrition coach and podcast host shared photos of herself one month after giving birth compared to now, eight months later, when she is back to her pre-pregnancy weight.
Leanne six months in to and six months out of her pregnancy. She said she 'worked incredibly hard' to get her pre-baby body back
Leanne admitted while her weight is the same as before she became pregnant, her body is different with less muscle and a higher fat mass but said she is 'super proud and happy' with her efforts throughout the busy year.
'I've been following my own LEAN Gut Mind Method coaching plan I devise for my clients and reminding myself that slow and steady wins the race,' she said.
'Above all else, I've been CONSISTENT. I haven't been perfect at all, just damn consistent every week.'
She added her 1.94kg monthly loss sounds like slow progress but is 'realistic achievable and more importantly sustainable'.

'I focused on fat loss for the first six months and this was a good focus when I didn't have the time or energy to hit the gym,' the new mum wrote.
'But I must say, being back at the gym these last eight weeks has felt so good.'
Hundreds of the podcaster's fan were wowed by her impressive and 'inspiring' results in the comments.
'Amazing super mama. Slow progress realistic achievable and sustainable,' one woman said.
'This is what I love to see! Pregnant first-time mum here, and I know postpartum is going to be another new adventure for me. Thank you for sharing' a mum-to-be replied.
'Only in the beginning of my postpartum journey but taking it slow! Well done and thank you for being such an inspiration,' another commented.

11-time Emmy nominee Paul Reiser still doesn't know whether his character Dr. Sam Owens will return for the fifth and final season of Stranger Things, which premieres between late 2023 and early 2024 on Netflix.
The 66-year-old native New Yorker told E! News on Saturday: 'I literally don't know.'

India-China Russia rhetoric 'significant'
India and China need to play a bigger role in curbing Russia's war in Ukraine but recent progress in the rhetoric from the two nations is significant, an Australian lawmaker says.
Chair of parliament's intelligence and security committee Peter Khalil says democratic governments needed to continue to uphold the international rule of law.
Mr Khalil used a trip to the United States to meet with lawmakers from 30 democratic nations as part of the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China.
"The focus was particularly on how we develop policy around China ... looking particularly at how we can ensure that our laws are fit for purpose in a very volatile period," he told the ABC on Monday.
The Labor MP also noted a turning of the tides towards India's, and to a lesser extent China's, rhetoric on the war.
"It is significant," Mr Khalil said.
"The Chinese Communist Party has sort of tethered itself to Russia."
Mr Khalil also questioned whether China's concerns about Russia's "failings" in Ukraine were borne from the unsettling of its strategic partner rather than the Kremlin's negation of international law.
"There could be some real concerns in Beijing about the fact that the war is not going very well for their partner," he said.
India and China have resisted joining Western sanctions against Russia and have failed to explicitly condemn its invasion.
India's stance has drawn the ire of democratic nations, especially as it participates as a member of the Quad security dialogue which includes Australia, the United States and Japan.
New Delhi has traditionally relied heavily on Russia for its military hardware and equipment.
But Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi used a televised address to the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation - formed by Russia and China as a counterweight to US influence - to admonish Russia, saying "today's era is not of war".
Russian President Vladimir Putin also acknowledged that his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping had raised concerns about the war with him.
China expressed support for Russia's "core interests" but also interest in working together to "inject stability" into world affairs.
There are also major concerns about potential actions from Mr Putin with Russia reeling from a Ukrainian counteroffensive that recaptured the city of Kharkiv.
"The more Putin is pushed into a corner, the more he acts like a wounded animal that lashes out," Mr Khalil said.
"The concern is that he may reach for chemical weapons or biological or even worse, tactical nuclear weapons.
"We are doing everything we can to ensure that doesn't happen."
The war in Ukraine is set to dominate discussions at the United Nations this week as world leaders prepare to meet in New York.
Foreign Minister Penny Wong will lead Australia's delegation to the UN General Assembly.
Senator Wong will use Australia's national statement to outline its commitment to a rules-based order where sovereignty is respected, warning that peace and prosperity are under threat.
"It's in Australia's national interest to ensure a world where countries operate by agreed rules and norms, and where outcomes aren't decided by power and size alone," Senator Wong said.
"That means we need to work with others to solve shared problems and advance our interests."
The 77th general assembly session will run from September 19 to 24.

Yu Darvish, Padres handle Diamondbacks
Yu Darvish retired the first 13 hitters he faced and Manny Machado hit a two-run home run in the first inning Sunday as the visiting San Diego Padres scored a 6-1 win over the host Arizona Diamondbacks.
The Padres (81-66) finished the season series with three straight wins against the Diamondbacks and a 14-5 mark against Arizona (68-78). Sunday's win also moved the Padres past Philadelphia into second in the National League wild card race and widened their edge over Milwaukee to 2 1/2 games.
Darvish improved to 15-7. He allowed one hit and one walk with eight strikeouts over six innings. Robert Suarez and Adrian Morejon finished the game.
The right-handed Darvish survived a scare after pitching a perfect game for 4 1/3 innings. Ketel Marte drew a one-out walk, although the last three pitches called balls by plate umpire Alex MacKay appeared to be strikes. Corbin Carroll followed with a single for Arizona's first hit. After Alek Thomas flew out to left, Cooper Hummel sent a grounder back to Darvish that rolled between the pitcher's legs for a bases-loading error.
Darvish escaped the inning by striking out Geraldo Perdomo in a nine-pitch battle.
Juan Soto drew a one-out walk in the first ahead of Machado's 29th homer, a 394-foot drive into the left-field stands. The Padres made it 3-0 in the third on Jurickson Profar's single, a two-base error on a pick-off attempt and Brandon Drury's sacrifice fly. Soto made it 4-0 on his 25th homer in the fifth, the first of his three hits.
Diamondbacks starter Ryne Nelson (1-1) allowed four runs (three earned) on three hits and four walks with three strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings. Machado's homer ended Nelson's run of 13 straight scoreless innings to start his major league career.
The Padres scored single runs in the final two innings against former Padres pitchers. They made it 5-0 in the eighth on a sacrifice fly by Jake Cronenworth off Ian Kennedy. A lead-off single by Austin Nola, an error and an RBI double by Soto off Mark Melancon made it 6-0 in the top of the ninth.
The Diamondbacks averted a second straight shutout by scoring on Marte's one-out sacrifice fly in the ninth. Daulton Varsho had singled to open the inning off Morejon and moved to third on Christian Walker's double.
Arizona had four hits Sunday after getting five Saturday.

I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: and though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God; whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another. Job 19: 25-27

The bidding
In grief and also in profound thanksgiving we come to this House of God, to a place of prayer, to a church where remembrance and hope are sacred duties. Here, where Queen Elizabeth was married and crowned, we gather from across the nation, from the Commonwealth, and from the nations of the world, to mourn our loss, to remember her long life of selfless service, and in sure confidence to commit her to the mercy of God our maker and redeemer.
With gratitude we remember her unswerving commitment to a high calling over so many years as Queen and Head of the Commonwealth. With admiration we recall her life-long sense of duty and dedication to her people. With thanksgiving we praise God for her constant example of Christian faith and devotion. With affection we recall her love for her family and her commitment to the causes she held dear.
Now, in silence, let us in our hearts and minds recall our many reasons for thanksgiving, pray for all members of her family, and commend Queen Elizabeth to the care and keeping of almighty God.
A brief silence is kept.
Merciful God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the resurrection and the life; in whom whosoever believeth shall live, though he die; and whosoever liveth, and believeth in him, shall not die eternally; who hast taught us, by his holy Apostle Saint Paul, not to be sorry, as men without hope, for them that sleep in him:
We meekly beseech thee, O Father, to raise us from the death of sin unto the life of righteousness; that, when we shall depart this life, we may rest in him, as our hope is this our sister doth; and that, at the general Resurrection in the last day, we may be found acceptable in thy sight; and receive that blessing, which thy well-beloved Son shall then pronounce to all that love and fear thee, saying, Come, ye blessed children of my Father, receive the kingdom prepared for you from the beginning of the world.
Grant this, we beseech thee, O merciful Father, through Jesus Christ, our mediator and redeemer. Amen.

The hymn
The day thou gavest, Lord, is ended,
the darkness falls at thy behest;
to thee our morning hymns ascended,
thy praise shall sanctify our rest.
We thank thee that thy Church unsleeping,
while earth rolls onward into light,
through all the world her watch is keeping,
and rests not now by day or night.
As o'er each continent and island
the dawn leads on another day,
the voice of prayer is never silent,
nor dies the strain of praise away.
The sun that bids us rest is waking
our brethren 'neath the western sky,
and hour by hour fresh lips are making
thy wondrous doings heard on high.
So be it, Lord; thy throne shall never,
like earth's proud empires, pass away;
thy kingdom stands, and grows for ever,
till all thy creatures own thy sway

The first lesson
Now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. 1 Corinthians 15: 20-26, 53-end
Thanks be to God.

The psalm
Like as the hart desireth the water-brooks : so longeth my soul after thee, O God.
My soul is athirst for God, yea, even for the living God : when shall I come to appear before the presence of God?
My tears have been my meat day and night : while they daily say unto me, Where is now thy God?
Now when I think thereupon, I pour out my heart by myself : for I went with the multitude, and brought them forth into the house of God;
In the voice of praise and thanksgiving : among such as keep holy-day.
Why art thou so full of heaviness, O my soul : and why art thou so disquieted within me?
Put thy trust in God : for I will yet give him thanks for the help of his countenance.
Judith Weir CBE (b 1954) Psalm 42: 1-7, composed for this Service
The Right Honourable Elizabeth Truss MP, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, reads
The second lesson
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? He that hath seen me hath seen the Father. John 14: 1-9a
Thanks be to God.

The Lord's my shepherd, I'll not want;

within the paths of righteousness,
e'en for his own name's sake.

The anthem
My soul, there is a country
Far beyond the stars,
Where stands a wingèd sentry
All skilful in the wars:
There above noise, and danger,
Sweet Peace sits crowned with smiles,
And One born in a manger
Commands the beauteous files.
He is thy gracious friend,
And (O my soul, awake!)
Did in pure love descend,
To die here for thy sake.
If thou canst get but thither,
There grows the flower of Peace,
The Rose that cannot wither,
Thy fortress, and thy ease.
Leave then thy foolish ranges,
For none can thee secure,
But One who never changes,
Thy God, thy Life, thy Cure

In confidence and trust, let us pray to the Father.
All kneel or remain seated.
The Reverend Dr Iain Greenshields, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, says
Let us give thanks to God for Queen Elizabeth's long life and reign, recalling with gratitude her gifts of wisdom, diligence, and service.
O God, from whom cometh everything that is upright and true: accept our thanks for the gifts of heart and mind that thou didst bestow upon thy daughter Elizabeth, and which she showed forth among us in her words and deeds; and grant that we may have grace to live our lives in accordance with thy will, to seek the good of others, and to remain faithful servants unto our lives' end; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Ms Shermara Fletcher, Principal Officer for Pentecostal and Charismatic Relations, Churches Together in England, says
Confident in God's love and compassion, let us pray for all those whose hearts are heavy with grief and sorrow.
Almighty God, Father of all mercies and giver of all comfort: deal graciously, we pray thee, with those who mourn, that casting every care on thee, they may know the consolation of thy love; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Right Reverend and Right Honourable Dame Sarah Mullally DBE, Bishop of London and Dean of His Majesty's Chapels Royal, says
Let us pray for His Majesty The King and all the Royal Family; that they may know the sustaining power of God's love and the prayerful fellowship of God's people.
Almighty God, the fountain of all goodness, we humbly beseech thee to bless our most gracious Sovereign Lord King Charles, Camilla The Queen Consort, William Prince of Wales, and all the Royal Family: endue them with thy Holy Spirit, enrich them with thy heavenly grace; prosper them with all happiness; and bring them to thine everlasting kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Reverend Canon Helen Cameron, Moderator of the Free Churches Group, says
In recognition of Queen Elizabeth's service to this United Kingdom, let us rejoice in her unstinting devotion to duty, her compassion for her subjects, and her counsel to her ministers; and we pray for the continued health and prosperity of this Nation.
Almighty God, whose will it is that all thy children should serve thee in serving one another: look with love, we pray thee, on this Nation. Grant to its citizens grace to work together with honest and faithful hearts, each caring for the good of all; that, seeking first thy kingdom and its righteousness, they may possess all things needful for their daily sustenance and the common good; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
His Eminence Cardinal Vincent Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster, says
Let us give thanks for Queen Elizabeth's commitment to the Commonwealth throughout her reign, for her service and dedication to its peoples, and for the rich bonds of unity and mutual support she sustained.
Almighty and everlasting God, hear our prayer for the Commonwealth, and grant it the guidance of thy wisdom. Inspire those in authority, that they may promote justice and the common good; give to all its citizens the spirit of mutual honour and respect; and grant to us all grace to strive for the establishment of righteousness and peace; for the honour of thy name. Amen.
The Most Reverend and Right Honourable Stephen Cottrell, Archbishop of York, Primate of England and Metropolitan, says
We give thanks to God for Queen Elizabeth's loyalty to the faith she inherited through her baptism and confirmation, and affirmed at her coronation; for her unswerving devotion to the Gospel; and for her steadfast service as Supreme Governor of the Church of England.
Lord, we beseech thee to keep thy household the Church in continual godliness; that through thy protection she may be free from all adversities, and devoutly given to serve thee in all good works, to the glory of thy name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Precentor says
Let us pray that we may be given grace to live as those who believe in the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, and the resurrection to eternal life.
Bring us, O Lord God, at our last awakening into the house and gate of heaven, to enter into that gate and dwell in that house, where there shall be no darkness nor dazzling, but one equal light; no noise nor silence, but one equal music; no fears nor hopes, but one equal possession; no ends nor beginnings, but one equal eternity; in the habitation of thy glory and dominion, world without end. Amen.

The choir sings
O Taste and see how gracious the Lord is : blest is the man that trusteth in him.

The Precentor concludes
In confidence and hope, let us pray to the Father in the words our Saviour taught us,
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done; on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

Love divine, all loves excelling,
joy of heaven, to earth come down,
fix in us thy humble dwelling,

Jesu, thou art all compassion,
pure unbounded love thou art;

enter every trembling heart
Come, almighty to deliver,
let us all thy life receive;
suddenly return, and never,
never more thy temples leave.
Thee we would be always blessing,
serve thee as thy hosts above,
pray, and praise thee, without ceasing,
glory in thy perfect love.
Finish then thy new creation,
pure and spotless let us be;
let us see thy great salvation,
perfectly restored in thee,
changed from glory into glory
till in heaven we take our place,
till we cast our crowns before thee,
lost in wonder, love, and praise!

The commendation
The Archbishop of Canterbury says
Let us commend to the mercy of God, our maker and redeemer, the soul of Elizabeth, our late Queen.
HEAVENLY Father, King of kings, Lord and giver of life, who of thy grace in creation didst form mankind in thine own image, and in thy great love offerest us life eternal in Christ Jesus; claiming the promises of thy most blessed Son, we entrust the soul of Elizabeth, our sister here departed, to thy merciful keeping, in sure and certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life, when Christ shall be all in all; who died and rose again to save us, and now liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, in glory for ever. Amen.
GO forth, O Christian soul, from this world, in the name of God the Father almighty, who created thee; in the name of Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, who suffered for thee; in the name of the Holy Spirit, who was poured out upon thee and anointed thee. In communion with all the blessed saints, and aided by the angels and archangels and all the armies of the heavenly host, may thy portion this day be in peace, and thy dwelling in the heavenly Jerusalem. Amen.

My help cometh even from the Lord: who hath made heaven and earth.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved:
and he that keepeth thee will not sleep.
Behold, he that keepeth Israel: shall neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord himself is thy keeper: the Lord is thy defence upon thy right hand;
So that the sun shall not burn thee by day: neither the moon by night.
The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil:
yea, it is even he that shall keep thy soul.
The Lord shall preserve thy going out, and thy coming in:
from this time forth for evermore.
Glory be to the Father: and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end. Amen.

THE RUSSIAN CONTAKION OF THE DEPARTED
GIVE rest, O Christ, to thy servant with thy Saints:
where sorrow and pain are no more; neither sighing but life everlasting.
Thou only art immortal, the Creator and Maker of man:
And we are mortal, formed of the earth, and unto earth shall we return:
For so thou didst ordain, when thou createdst me, saying,
Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
All we go down to the dust; and, weeping o'er the grave we make our song:
Alleluya, alleluya, alleluya.
Give rest, O Christ, to thy servant with thy Saints:
Where sorrow and pain are no more; neither sighing but life everlasting.

The Bidding
We have come together to commit into the hands of God the soul of his servant Queen Elizabeth. Here, in St George's Chapel, where she so often worshipped, we are bound to call to mind someone whose uncomplicated yet profound Christian Faith bore so much fruit. Fruit, in a life of unstinting service to the Nation, the Commonwealth and the wider world, but also (and especially to be remembered in this place) in kindness, concern and reassuring care for her family and friends and neighbours. In the midst of our rapidly changing and frequently troubled world, her calm and dignified presence has given us confidence to face the future, as she did, with courage and with hope. As, with grateful hearts, we reflect on these and all the many other ways in which her long life has been a blessing to us, we pray that God will give us grace to honour her memory by following her example, and that, with our sister Elizabeth, at the last, we shall know the joys of life eternal.
All remain standing.
The hymn
ALL my hope on God is founded;
He doth still my trust renew.
Me through change and chance he guideth,
Only good and only true.
God unknown,
He alone
Calls my heart to be his own.
God's great goodness aye endureth,
Deep his wisdom, passing thought:
Splendour, light and life attend him,
Beauty springeth out of naught.
Evermore
From his store
New-born worlds rise and adore.
Daily doth th'Almighty giver
Bounteous gifts on us bestow;
His desire our soul delighteth,
Pleasure leads us where we go.
Love doth stand
At his hand;
Joy doth wait on his command.
Still from man to God eternal
Sacrifice of praise be done,
High above all praises praising
For the gift of Christ his Son.
Christ doth call
One and all:
Ye who follow shall not fall.

The reading
Revelation 21.1-7
Read by the Dean of Windsor, Register of the Most Noble Order of the Garter
I SAW a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

MERCIFUL Father and Lord of all life, we praise thee that thou hast made us in thine image and that we reflect thy truth and light. We give special thanks for the life of thy daughter Elizabeth, for the mercy she received from thee, and for the example that through her life of service, love and faith, she has set before our eyes. Above all, we rejoice at thy gracious promise to all thy servants, living and departed, that we shall rise again at the coming of our Saviour Jesus Christ. We pray that, in due time, we may share with our sister that clearer vision when we shall see thy face in the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
O FATHER of all, we pray to thee for those whom we love, but see no longer. Grant them peace; let light perpetual shine upon them; and, in thy loving wisdom and almighty power, work in them the good purposes of thy perfect will; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
O LORD, support us all the day long of this troublous life, until the shades lengthen and the evening comes, the busy world is hushed, the fever of life is over and our work is done; then Lord, in thy mercy, grant us safe lodging,a holy rest, and peace at the last; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
LORD God Almighty, King of creation, bless our King and all Members of the Royal Family. May godliness be their guidance, may sanctity be their strength, may peace on earth be the fruit of their labours, and their joy in heaven thine eternal gift; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done; In earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.

BRING us, O Lord God, at our last awakening

Hear thy people as they pray;
And thy fullest benediction
Shed within its walls for ay.
Here vouchsafe to all thy servants
Gifts of grace by prayer to gain;
Here to have and hold for ever,
Those good things their prayers obtain,
And hereafter, in thy glory,
With thy blessèd ones to reign.
Laud and honour to the Father,

For he knoweth whereof we are made:
he remembereth that we are but dust.
The days of man are but as grass:
for he flourisheth as a flower of the field.
For as soon as the wind goeth over it, it is gone:
and the place thereof shall know it no more.
But the merciful goodness of the Lord endureth for ever and ever
upon them that fear him:
and his righteousness upon children's children
The Dean continues
GO forth upon thy journey from this world,
O Christian soul;
In the name of God the Father Almighty who created thee;
In the name of Jesus Christ who suffered for thee;
In the name of the Holy Spirit who strengtheneth thee.
In communion with the blessèd saints,

and all the armies of the heavenly host,
may thy portion this day be in peace,
and thy dwelling in the heavenly Jerusalem.

HONG KONG, Sept. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Fosun International Limited (HKEX stock code: 00656, "Fosun International") said a major international investment bank Morgan Stanley has reiterated its "Overweight" rating on Fosun International with a target price of HK$11.4.
In the first half of 2022, Fosun achieved sustainable growth in its revenue, with a total revenue of RMB82.89 billion, representing an increase of 17.7% over the same period in 2021. The company pointed out that after entering the second half of the year, thanks to the Group's long-term adherence to profound industry operations, the financial and operational indicators of companies in multiple segments have rapidly shown signs of a steady recovery.
Fosun's Actual Debt is Only RMB100 Billion, Corresponding to Total Assets of RMB270 billion
The market is concern about Fosun International's debt situation and believes that Fosun is under the pressure of RMB650 billion debt. According to Fosun International's 2022 interim results, its total assets amounted to RMB849.7 billion and total liabilities amounted to RMB651.3 billion as of 30 June 2022. However, the market's perception of RMB650 billion debt is in fact a confusing statement.
This RMB650 billion figure is the consolidated total liabilities of Fosun International and its subsidiaries, including the liabilities of its financial institutions such as insurance companies, banks, etc. However, the liabilities of financial institutions and the commonly referred interest bearing corporate debt are two different concepts. In fact, the consolidated interest bearing debt of Fosun International stands at approximately RMB260 billion only, which also consists of debts of its consolidated listed subsidiaries such as Yuyuan and Fosun Pharma, etc. The repayment obligations of these debts are independently borne by the corresponding listed companies. In other words, the actual debt that is borne by Fosun International is only approximately RMB100 billion, corresponding to total assets of RMB270 billion and net asset value (NAV) of around RMB20 per share. From this perspective, Fosun is not under significant debt repayment pressure.
Morgan Stanley Reiterated its "Overweight" Rating on Fosun International with a Target Price of HK$11.4 for the Third Time
Morgan Stanley issued a research report on 16 September, the report said that most of Fosun's debt at the consolidated level reported in its recent interim results announcement consists of lending by Fosun's operating subsidiaries. The firm estimated that the debt at the holding company, including onshore debt, offshore debt and bank loans, is much lower. In terms of cash, with a tightening credit market, it is understandable that the company needs to take quick action to convert liquid assets into cash. It is estimated that the cash generated from its recent asset sales, together with its cash on hand is getting closer to being able to repay its near-term debt obligations. Morgan Stanley has therefore reiterated its "Overweight" rating on Fosun International with a target price of HK$11.4.

A Sydney jury has found a man unlawfully stabbed a police officer in the neck, rejecting the "ludicrous suggestion" the offender thought the cop chasing him down was a thug.
Rory James Constantino, 30, is due to be sentenced in December for recklessly wounding Senior Constable Jacob Vella in the Sydney suburb of Sadleir.
Sen Const Vella was stabbed in the neck with a makeshift bladed spear in the offender's bedroom in 2019 after he and a colleague attempted to execute an arrest warrant for Constantino's father Ricky over a firearm offence.
Constantino had claimed he did not know the two men dressed in plain clothes were police. He says he was acting in self-defence against men who busted down his door and chased him through the house about dawn on June 11.
"This guy did not seem to be a police officer ... I thought I was going to die. I literally thought these guys were going to kill me," he said in a 2019 police interview.
The Crown called that story "absolute nonsense", saying Constantino would not have opened the door to his family home and then merely chatted to those outside if he thought they were a threat.
"That is a ludicrous suggestion and quite frankly, ladies and gentlemen, it's an insult to your intelligence," crown prosecutor Leon Apostle told the jury.
The jury agreed, finding Constantino guilty on Friday of reckless wounding.
He was earlier acquitted, by judicial direction, of two more serious charges alleging the wounding was intended to prevent his father's arrest or to cause actual bodily harm to the police officer.
Constantino, who served eight months on remand, had his bail continued after verdict.
A sentencing assessment report examining "all available sentencing options" has been ordered ahead of his sentence on December 16.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Byron Murphy Jr. scooped up Hunter Renfrow's fumble and returned it 59 yards for a touchdown with 3:51 left in overtime, and the Arizona Cardinals rallied from a 20-point deficit in the second half before running away with a wild 29-23 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.
Kyler Murray scrambled for a 3-yard touchdown on the final snap of regulation before hitting A.J. Green for the tying 2-point conversion for the Cardinals (1-1), who trailed 23-7 with less than nine minutes left in regulation.
The Raiders stopped Murray on downs on Arizona's opening drive of overtime, but Renfrow then made a catch and fumbled for the second consecutive play. Isaiah Simmons knocked it loose, and Murphy snagged the ball and sprinted down the Cardinals' sideline to the end zone with his ecstatic teammates in pursuit for a frenzied celebration.
Murphy nearly ruined his own heroics when he released the ball from his hand right at the goal line, but video review determined he barely scored.
Arizona followed up its season-opening blowout loss to Kansas City by falling behind 20-0 in the first half in Vegas, but coach Kliff Kingsbury’s team transformed after the break. Murray passed for 277 yards and rushed for 28 more while flummoxing the Vegas defense with his elusiveness.
Davante Adams and Darren Waller caught early touchdown passes from Derek Carr for the Raiders (0-2), who had the ball for less than 10 minutes in the second half while Murray worked his magic. Carr passed for 252 yards — just 42 after halftime —- as Las Vegas lost a home opener for the first time since relocating to Nevada.
The game showcased the heights and depths of Murray's incredible talent in his second outing since his $230.5 million, five-year contract extension was finalized.
Murray passed for just 53 yards in the first half, but racked up 188 yard through the air and 28 more on the ground in the second half along with several unbelievable displays of his unique combination of athleticism and football smarts.
Murray hit Greg Dortch for an early TD, and Darrel Williams rushed for a score with 8:13 left before Murray made a jaw-dropping improvisational run for a 2-point conversion, running horizontally across the field during roughly 20 seconds with the ball.
Murray then led Arizona on a 73-yard TD drive in the final 4:43 of regulation, capping it with his cool TD scramble on fourth down as time expired after three incompletions.
Moments earlier, Murray threw an incompletion on fourth down from the Raiders 6, but Roderic Teamer’s defensive holding penalty — Vegas’ 10th flag of the day — kept the drive alive with 16 seconds left.
Arizona took a delay of game penalty before attempting the conversion from the Vegas 7, but Murray still hit Green with a pinpoint pass in the back of the end zone.
Arizona won the overtime coin toss, but the Raiders got the ball back when backup Vegas safety Duron Harmon knocked the ball out of Marquise Brown's hands for an incompletion on fourth-and-1 from the Vegas 37.
Las Vegas was very near field goal range for Daniel Carlson, who made two earlier field goals to stretch his streak to 27 straight overall and 40 straight at Allegiant Stadium — but Renfrow's fumble meant he never got a chance.
HE'S OK
The Cardinals got to the Las Vegas 7 before turning the ball over on downs with 12:31 to play, and a stadium security guard also got knocked down roughly by Zach Ertz while the Cardinals tight end dived to make a catch on fourth down. The guard eventually got up and walked off the field.
GOOD REASON
Raiders owner Mark Davis missed the game because he was in Connecticut with his Las Vegas Aces while they won their first WNBA championship. The result was announced late in the third quarter to applause at Allegiant Stadium.
VEGAS HOSPITALITY
Adams had just two catches for 12 yards, but his grandparents got to see him play live for the first time in the NFL. They watched from the Allegiant Stadium suite that the Bay Area native says he paid roughly $500,000 to rent for the season.
INJURIES
Cardinals: RB James Conner was slowed by an ankle injury after his first carry of the second half.
Raiders: DL Bilal Nichols injured his shoulder in the second half and didn't return.
UP NEXT
Cardinals: Host the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.
Raiders: At the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.

Hurricane Fiona rips through powerless Puerto Rico
HAVANA (AP) — Hurricane Fiona has struck Puerto Rico’s southwest coast as it unleashed landslides, knocked the power grid out and ripped up asphalt from roads and flung the pieces around. Forecasters said the storm would cause catastrophic flooding and threatened to dump “historic” levels of rain, with up to 30 inches (76 centimeters) possible in isolated areas. Fiona on Sunday is lashing a U.S. territory that is still recovering from a string of strong earthquakes and Hurricane Maria, a Category 4 storm that caused deaths and destruction across the island in 2017. More than 3,000 homes still have only a blue tarp as a roof.
Bidens among thousands paying respects to Queen Elizabeth II
LONDON (AP) — U.S. President Joe Biden paid his respects at Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin as thousands of police, hundreds of British troops and an army of officials made final preparations for the queen’s state funeral. The funeral on Monday at Westminster Abbey will be a spectacular display of national mourning that will also be the biggest gathering of world leaders for years. People across Britain paused for a minute of silence at 8 p.m. to honor the queen. Also late Sunday, authorities closed a miles-long queue for people to see the queen lying in state. New arrivals were turned away, so that everyone in the line can file past the coffin before Monday morning, when it will be taken to Westminster Abbey for the queen’s funeral.

Zelenskyy promises no 'lull' in taking back Ukrainian towns
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy promised his country Sunday there would be no letup after a series of Ukrainian victories taking cities and towns back from Russian troops. He said there would be no lull until all of Ukraine is freed. Russian shelling hit cities and towns across a wide stretch of Ukraine over the weekend. The British defense ministry warned that Russia is likely to increase attacks on civilian targets as it suffers battlefield defeats. A Vatican envoy distributing humanitarian aid was among those who came under fire. There were no injuries. And prosecutors in Kharkiv are accusing Russia of torturing civilians in one village that was recently freed.
Biden: Classified documents at Mar-a-Lago raise concerns
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden says the discovery of top-secret documents at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate raised concerns that sensitive data was compromised and calls it “irresponsible.” In an interview with CBS’ “60 Minutes” that aired Sunday, Biden says he has not asked for any specifics “because I don’t want to get myself in the middle of whether or not the Justice Department should move or not move on certain actions they could take.” The FBI served a court-authorized search warrant at Trump's Florida home on Aug. 8. Agents took about 11,000 documents, including roughly 100 with classification markings found in a storage room and an office.

In world beset by turbulence, nations' leaders gather at UN
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — World leaders are gathering at the United Nations this week under the shadow of Europe’s first major conflict since World War II. Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the fighting it produced has sparked a global food crisis and a division among major powers not seen since the Cold War at a time of increasing international turbulence. The many facets of the war in Ukraine are expected to dominate the annual General Assembly meeting. It is taking place as many countries across the globe are also confronting inequality, an escalating climate crisis, the threat of multiple famines and increasing misinformation and hate speech.
EXPLAINER: How the strong U.S. dollar can affect everyone
NEW YORK (AP) — The value of the U.S. dollar has been on a tear for more than a year against everything from the British pound across the Atlantic to the South Korean won across the Pacific. The dollar is hovering close to its highest level in more than two decades against a key index measuring six major currencies. Many professional investors don’t expect the dollar to ease off anytime soon. Its rise makes an impact on nearly everyone, even those who will never travel beyond U.S. borders. The strength helps to limit inflation, but it can also hurt profits for many U.S. companies.
First public global database of fossil fuels launches
On Monday, the world’s first public database of fossil fuel production, reserves and emissions launches. Called The Global Registry of Fossil Fuels, it was developed by the groups Carbon Tracker and the Global Energy Monitor, and contains data on over 50,000 oil, gas and coal fields in 89 countries, covering 75% of global production. It shows that the United States and Russia have enough fossil fuel reserves to exhaust the world’s remaining carbon budget to stay under 1.5 degrees Celsius warming. And it shows that if burned, the world’s reserves would generate 3.5 trillion tons of greenhouse gas emissions, which is more than all that's been produced since the Industrial Revolution.

Funeral of Queen Elizabeth II is huge security challenge
LONDON (AP) — London Mayor Sadiq Khan says Monday’s state funeral for Queen Elizabeth II is an “unprecedented” security challenge. Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to pack central London for an service attend by 500 emperors, kings, queens, presidents, prime ministers and other leaders from around the world. London's Metropolitan Police says the “hugely complex” policing operation is the biggest in the force’s history, surpassing the London 2012 Olympics. More than 10,000 police officers will be on duty Monday, with London bobbies supplemented by reinforcements from all of Britain’s 43 police forces. The operation will also involve police spotters on rooftops, sniffer dogs on the streets, marine officers on the River Thames and mounted police on horseback.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Green Bay wide receiver Allen Lazard and offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins are active for Sunday night’s game with the Chicago Bears after missing the Packers’ season-opening loss at Minnesota.
That means the Packers will have their top returning receiver and one of their top two offensive linemen making their season debuts. Jenkins will be playing for the first time since tearing his left anterior cruciate ligament on Nov. 21.
Lazard had missed the Vikings game with an ankle injury.
The Packers remain without offensive tackle David Bakhtiari, who has appeared in just one game since tearing his left ACL on Dec. 31, 2020. Bakhtiari had been listed as questionable on the Packers’ Friday injury report.
Green Bay guard Jon Runyan Jr. is active for Sunday night’s game. Runyan had left the Vikings game early because of a concussion.
Joining Bakhtiari on the list of inactive Packers are safety Tariq Carpenter, offensive tackle Caleb Jones, tackle/guard Sean Rhyan, wide receiver Samori Toure and defensive lineman Jonathan Ford.
The Bears’ inactive list includes wide receiver Velus Jones Jr., defensive back Elijah Hicks, offensive lineman Michael Schofield III, defensive back Lamar Jackson, offensive lineman Ja’Tyre Carter and tight end Jake Tonges.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Steve Stricker won his second straight PGA Tour Champions event on Sunday, closing with a 6-under 64 and beating Robert Karlsson with a birdie on the first playoff hole in the Sanford International.
Stricker had a one-shot lead when he looked behind and saw Karlsson with an excellent birdie chance on the 17th hole. The Swede converted, and both finished with pars to force a playoff at 14-under 196.
Stricker made short work of it, making birdie for his third victory of the season. Stricker won The Ally Challenge two weeks ago and didn’t play last week.
“You’ve just got to stay aggressive at times out here and I was doing that. I did a good job of that today and hit a lot of good putts,” Stricker said. “That one on the playoff, it was a special putt, that was really cool to do.”
Stricker took the six-hour drive from Wisconsin on Sioux Falls for what he termed a family trip, and it sure felt that way. His wife was his caddie again, while oldest daughter Bobbi Maria caddied for Mario Tiziani, the brother of Stricker’s wife. Tiziana tied for 38th.
Stricker’s daughter is getting ready for the second stage of LPGA Tour qualifying.
Karlsson, who opened with a 62, had a chance to win on the 18th in regulation. Stricker then ended it quickly in the playoff.
Stricker is the fifth player with at least three victories this year on the PGA Tour Champions, joining Steven Alker, Padraig Harrington, Jerry Kelly and Miguel Angel Jimenez. Stricker moved to No. 3 in the Charles Schwab Cup standings with three tournaments left before the postseason starts.

The question of whether tampons belong in boys’ bathrooms goes before the Oregon State Board of Education on Monday, when the seven-person body will weigh public testimony sparked by a Southern Oregon mom’s petition to scale back access to free menstrual products in public schools.
Written public comment on Oregon’s Menstrual Dignity Act, which went into full effect at the beginning of this school year, skewed nearly four to one in favor of removing the law’s requirement that public schools stock menstrual products in all bathrooms, including those designated for boys as young as kindergarten. Oregon’s law goes further than similar ones in Washington and California.
On Monday, the board will vote whether to deny the petition from Eagle Point School District board member Cherylene Stritenberg or further review it, Oregon Department of Education spokesperson Marc Siegel said.
Stritenberg, acting as an individual, introduced her petition to amend House Bill 3294 on June 23, prompting a public-comment period that drew close to 240 letters and emails, including dozens of auto-generated ones that opponents of the bill could easily click and send. About 185 of the comments argued in favor of Stritenberg’s petition, with many of those saying the current rule wastes money by putting menstrual products in boys’ bathrooms, a requirement that legislators put in place to make sure transgender boys assigned female at birth and nonbinary students had free access to period products regardless of what facility they used.
If approved, the petition would require K-12 schools to provide free tampons and pads “in at least two bathrooms.”
“My petition doesn’t prevent a district from putting as many tampons in as many bathrooms as they see fit for their district; it just wouldn’t require all districts to do so,” Stritenberg said in an email to The Oregonian/OregonLive.
Schools across the state prepared over the summer to comply with H.B. 3294 by buying supplies and dispensers, for which Oregon will reimburse districts. The 2021 law is annually expected to cost about $2.8 million, money that will come from the State School Fund.
Those in favor of keeping the bill as is see it as an opportunity to destigmatize menstruation and alleviate stress and worry for trans and nonbinary students. If boys vandalize bathrooms with the products, that shouldn’t curtail access, some people in favor of the rule wrote. Instead, boys’ behavior should change, they argued.
State Rep. Rick Ruiz, D-Gresham, who sponsored the bill, urged the board to keep the rule intact, writing with Rep. Courtney Neron, D-Wilsonville, that free and broad access will help more students feel comfortable at school.
“From across the state, we heard horror stories of menstruators who experienced shame, stigma, or harassment over a normal bodily function,” they wrote. “As we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, we must reimagine our support for students, and once again be a leader in removing barriers to learning.”

HONG KONG, Sept. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Fosun International Limited (HKEX stock code: 00656, "Fosun International") said a major international investment bank Morgan Stanley has reiterated its "Overweight" rating on Fosun International with a target price of HK$11.4.
In the first half of 2022, Fosun achieved sustainable growth in its revenue, with a total revenue of RMB82.89 billion, representing an increase of 17.7% over the same period in 2021. The company pointed out that after entering the second half of the year, thanks to the Group's long-term adherence to profound industry operations, the financial and operational indicators of companies in multiple segments have rapidly shown signs of a steady recovery.
Fosun's Actual Debt is Only RMB100 Billion, Corresponding to Total Assets of RMB270 billion
The market is concern about Fosun International's debt situation and believes that Fosun is under the pressure of RMB650 billion debt. According to Fosun International's 2022 interim results, its total assets amounted to RMB849.7 billion and total liabilities amounted to RMB651.3 billion as of 30 June 2022. However, the market's perception of RMB650 billion debt is in fact a confusing statement.
This RMB650 billion figure is the consolidated total liabilities of Fosun International and its subsidiaries, including the liabilities of its financial institutions such as insurance companies, banks, etc. However, the liabilities of financial institutions and the commonly referred interest bearing corporate debt are two different concepts. In fact, the consolidated interest bearing debt of Fosun International stands at approximately RMB260 billion only, which also consists of debts of its consolidated listed subsidiaries such as Yuyuan and Fosun Pharma, etc. The repayment obligations of these debts are independently borne by the corresponding listed companies. In other words, the actual debt that is borne by Fosun International is only approximately RMB100 billion, corresponding to total assets of RMB270 billion and net asset value (NAV) of around RMB20 per share. From this perspective, Fosun is not under significant debt repayment pressure.
Morgan Stanley Reiterated its "Overweight" Rating on Fosun International with a Target Price of HK$11.4 for the Third Time
Morgan Stanley issued a research report on 16 September, the report said that most of Fosun's debt at the consolidated level reported in its recent interim results announcement consists of lending by Fosun's operating subsidiaries. The firm estimated that the debt at the holding company, including onshore debt, offshore debt and bank loans, is much lower. In terms of cash, with a tightening credit market, it is understandable that the company needs to take quick action to convert liquid assets into cash. It is estimated that the cash generated from its recent asset sales, together with its cash on hand is getting closer to being able to repay its near-term debt obligations. Morgan Stanley has therefore reiterated its "Overweight" rating on Fosun International with a target price of HK$11.4.

Allison Langdon declares she will 'ALWAYS vote for the monarchy' if Peter FitzSimons is leading the republican movement - as Karl Stefanovic shuts down 'rude' calls for a referendum after the Queen's death
Today co-hosts Karl Stefanovic and Allison Langdon have condemned the Australian Republic Movement for igniting a debate about the monarchy before Queen Elizabeth II has even been buried.
In an astonishing spray on Saturday morning, Stefanovic said it was inappropriate to engage in such a conversation during a period of mourning, before taking aim at ARM chair Peter FitzSimons and founding member Malcolm Turnbull.
He remarked that having 'pasty white guys' as the figureheads for the movement would guarantee its failure.
Karl Stefanovic (left) and Allison Langdon (right) have condemned the Australian Republic Movement for igniting a debate about the monarchy before the Queen has even been buried
'There's still people out there doing it. I just think it's so rude,' he said.
'Let me tell you, it is not going to happen while you've got pasty white guys like Peter FitzSimons and Malcolm Turnbull fronting up in Australia,' Stefanovic added.
Langdon agreed, saying: 'I did tell Peter if he was at the front of the movement, I would always vote for a monarchy.'
In an astonishing spray on Saturday morning, Stefanovic said it was inappropriate to engage in such a conversation during a period of mourning, before taking aim at ARM leader Peter FitzSimons (pictured) and founding member Malcolm Turnbull
While the Australian Republic Movement has temporarily suspended its push for a republic until after the Queen's burial, its leader FitzSimons has long campaigned for the British Royal Family to be eradicated from Australian political life.
FitzSimons has previously made statements criticising King Charles III, formerly the Prince of Wales, telling Daily Mail Australia in June he expected republican sentiment to 'get a surge once Australia leans in close and looks at' the new king.
He also drew the ire of monarchists earlier this month by issuing a statement about the Queen's death before Prime Minister Anthony Albanese had a chance to.
'Let me tell you, it is not going to happen while you've got pasty white guys like Peter FitzSimons and Malcolm Turnbull fronting up in Australia,' Stefanovic added
FitzSimons is married to Stefanovic's former Today co-anchor Lisa Wilkinson, who is fronting Channel 10 and The Project's coverage of Her Majesty's funeral in London.
The 'irony' of her role was apparently not lost on many industry figures, reports The Australian's Media Diary.
However, sources at Channel 10 said there were no misgivings about sending Wilkinson, who has impeccable knowledge of royal matters from her decades as a magazine editor.
Langdon agreed, saying: 'I did tell Peter if he was at the front of the movement, I would always vote for a monarchy'
The Queen's funeral is also a 'logical' assignment for the veteran broadcaster, a network insider told Media Diary, as she covered the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for The Project in 2018.
Before that, she spearheaded Nine's coverage of Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding in 2011 when she co-hosted Today with Stefanovic.
Christopher Bendall, The Project's executive producer, claimed to not know whether Wilkinson was a monarchist or a republican, like her husband.
While the Australian Republic Movement (ARM) has temporarily suspended its push for a republic until after the Queen's burial, its leader FitzSimons has long campaigned for the British Royal Family to be eradicated from Australian political life
Australia last held a referendum on becoming a republic in 1999, with the country deciding to remain a constitutional monarchy.
Britain, world leaders and royalty from across the globe will on Monday bid a final farewell to Queen Elizabeth, the last towering figure of her era, at a state funeral of inimitable pageantry.
At 5:30am GMT, an official lying-in-state period ends after four days in which hundreds of thousands have queued to file past the casket of Britain's longest-reigning monarch at London's historic Westminster Hall.

They, like many across the globe including U.S. President Joe Biden, had wanted to pay tribute to the 96-year-old who had spent seven decades on the British throne.
'You were fortunate to have had her for 70 years,' Biden said. 'We all were.'
Shortly before 11am GMT, the oak coffin, covered in the Royal Standard flag with the Imperial State Crown on top, will be placed on a gun carriage and pulled by naval personnel to Westminster Abbey for her funeral.

Among the 2,000 in the congregation will be some 500 world leaders, including Biden, Emperor Naruhito of Japan, Wang Qishan, the Vice President of China, and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa.
The Queen's great-grandchildren, Prince George, nine, and Princess Charlotte, seven, the two eldest children of now heir to the throne Prince William, will also be attending.
'Over the last 10 days, my wife and I have been so deeply touched by the many messages of condolence and support we have received from this country and across the world,' Charles, Elizabeth's son and the new king, said in a statement.
Australia last held a referendum on becoming a republic in 1999, with the country deciding to remain a constitutional monarchy. (The Queen, who died on September 8, is pictured in 2018)
'As we all prepare to say our last farewell, I wanted simply to take this opportunity to say thank you to all those countless people who have been such a support and comfort to my family and myself in this time of grief.'
Elizabeth died aged 96 on September 8 at her Scottish summer home, Balmoral Castle.
Her health had been in decline, and for months the monarch who had carried out hundreds of official engagements well into her nineties had withdrawn from public life, although just two days before her death she had appointed Liz Truss her 15th and final prime minister.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Cooper Rush had no choice but to smile as he embraced offensive coordinator Kellen Moore after the winning kick for the Dallas Cowboys.
Dak Prescott’s backup now has a 2-0 career record filling in, with winning drives on his final possession both times. That was enough to let the emotion flow for the normally stoic Rush, at least for a few moments.
“It’s actually exciting to see him be excited after he won a game,” coach Mike McCarthy after a 20-17 victory over Cincinnati on Sunday. “To get a charge out of it because he is so, so consistent.”
Rush led the drive to Brett Maher's 50-yard field goal as time expired, and the Cowboys held on after losing a two-touchdown halftime lead.
Joe Burrow got the defending AFC champion Bengals even at 17-17 by leading a 19-play, 83-yard drive in the fourth quarter, throwing a 5-yard touchdown pass to Tee Higgins and finding Tyler Boyd for the 2-point conversion.
Cincinnati (0-2) erased the same 17-3 deficit in the opener against Pittsburgh, only to miss two chances to win on a PAT kick in the final seconds of regulation and a short field goal in overtime of the 23-20 loss.
Now the Bengals are the first defending AFC champion to start 0-2 since 1999, when Denver was coming off consecutive Super Bowl victories and started 0-4 after John Elway retired.
“You just can’t let it affect you,” said defensive end Sam Hubbard, who had the only sack of Rush. “People look to you and your demeanor, how you handle yourself and all you can do is go back to work. And I’m excited to get back to work.”
After the Cowboys stopped the Bengals with about a minute remaining, Rush got the defending NFC East champs in range for Maher. This after his only previous NFL start last year, when the sixth-year pro threw the go-ahead touchdown pass in the final minute of a 20-16 win at Minnesota.
Rush got the winning drive going with a 12-yard completion to Noah Brown, who had his first NFL touchdown on the opening drive and finished with a career-high 91 yards receiving. A 10-yarder to CeeDee Lamb put the Cowboys (1-1) in range for Maher, who kicked a 54-yarder in the first half.
“I felt like I put a good stroke on it to see it go in,” said Maher, a former Dallas kicker who rejoined the club late in training camp when both kickers competing for the job flopped. “It was just mayhem, to be honest with you.”
Prescott, who wore a headset with a long-sleeve shirt and frequently implored the crowd to make noise, just missed the one start last season with a strained calf. He will be out multiple games this time with a fracture near his right thumb.
Rush directed 75-yard touchdown drives on the first two possessions for Dallas after the Cowboys went without a TD in the opener against Tampa Bay. The Cowboys didn’t find the end zone again, but didn’t need to on the final possession after Trevon Diggs stopped Boyd 2 yards short on third-and-3, forcing a punt with 1:09 remaining.
“It got a little choppy, kinda got out of rhythm there in the third,” said Rush, who was 19 of 31 for 235 yards with a touchdown. “You just keep playing. When you're out there, that's all you're really thinking about is next play, next play, next play.”
The Cowboys sacked Burrow six times in the first three quarters after he went down seven times in the opener against the Steelers. But the revamped offensive line protected him well enough to help the Bengals get even.
On the tying drive that consumed nearly nine minutes, Burrow converted a fourth-and-6 with a completion to Ja’Marr Chase after three third-down conversions.
“We’d like to start faster, but the defenses that we’re getting earlier are always different than the ones that are on the film,” said Burrow, who was 24 of 36 for 199 yards with a touchdown. “That probably plays a part in it, but we’ve just got to do a better job of adjusting faster.”
TRY, TRY AGAIN
Tony Pollard had a 46-yard catch on a shovel pass, taking the ball from behind the line of scrimmage to just inches shy of the goal line on a play that was originally ruled at touchdown. He got the short carry for a 14-3 Dallas lead in the first quarter.
TWO-FER SACKS
NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Micah Parsons had two sacks along with Dorance Armstrong for Dallas. Parsons has at least two sacks in five of the first 18 games of his career, joining Mark Anderson, Joey Bosa, Elvis Dumervil, Clay Matthews and Aldon Smith among players with five such games among their first 20.
INJURIES
Bengals TE Drew Sample was ruled out with a right knee injury after going down awkwardly on a tackle on a catch for a 4-yard loss in the second quarter. ... WR Tee Higgins played after being listed as questionable with a concussion.
UP NEXT
Bengals: At the New York Jets next Sunday. Cincinnati has lost 10 of its past 11 road games against the Jets.
Cowboys: The defending NFC East champs play their first division opponent, visiting the New York Giants (2-0) on Sept. 26.

SUNAPEE — This fall is the first time Hope Damon is running for state representative, taking the plunge into politics after years of thinking about a run.
Her bid was catalyzed by the efforts to restore Croydon’s school budget this spring after residents at a sparsely attended town meeting voted to halve the budget.
The town’s experience has quickly become a parable about the importance of civic engagement, and Damon said she thinks the town — maybe even the whole state — learned something.
“First, we didn’t participate. Then, we super-participated,” Damon said.
In New Hampshire, school issues are animating activists across the political spectrum. A year or even six months ago the public comment sections at school board meetings and on social media pages were dominated by concerns from conservative-leaning parents worried about mask requirements and how teachers addressed racist history. Now some progressive-leaning activists and parents are talking about school funding and their support for teachers at the state Board of Education.
Damon was one of about 50 people listening to a presentation about the way New Hampshire funds its schools at Sunapee’s Sherburne Gym last week, watching as attorney John Tobin and New Hampshire School Funding Fairness Project’s Zack Sheehan spoke about tax rates and funding formulas in the echoing basketball fieldhouse, projecting graphs and charts onto a wall between championship banners.
Many of those in attendance were state representatives or aspirants to the office, but several were just looking to learn more about the wonky issue of school funding and property taxes — wanting to get a little more engaged on local issues that touch everyone’s lives.
Croydon’s now-infamous town meeting was more than six months ago. But the organizing effort to overturn the vote didn’t end at the special school district meeting in May, when voters moved to fund schools at the level proposed by school administrators.
Damon is running for office. A former school board member, Angi Beaulieu, plans to run for the board again in the spring. Meghan Pike, a Croydon parent, is volunteering at Town Hall.
“We understand this wasn’t just a one-time battle,” Pike said.
Another Croydon parent who was active in the effort to restore the school budget, Amanda Leslie, said Croydon saw high turnout during the state primary on Tuesday. Just over 200 people cast ballots in the primary races — nowhere near the May meeting’s turnout of almost half the town’s voters, but still unusually high for a primary.
“I think that’s because we have continued to talk to people,” Leslie said. “We’re trying to help the community stay informed and engaged.”
Jody Underwood, Croydon school board chair, was more skeptical about how long this hyper-engagement would last.
“If status quo returns, they’ll be trusting again,” Underwood said.
Underwood said she counts herself as a member of the Free State Project, and her husband, Ian Underwood, is the Croydon resident who moved to make the drastic budget cuts at March’s town meeting.
Pike said her experience made her want to be aware of who her elected officials were, and has grown wary of the Free State Project’s growing influence in the state Legislature and town government. She’s taken to doing more research — mostly online — relying on advocacy groups’ ratings and grades of candidates to figure out who might line up with her views.
Damon, the state representative candidate, said she hopes more people start paying close attention to their state and town government candidates, and stay engaged on local issues — like Croydon’s school budget, or tensions on the Gunstock Area Commission.
“Work for what you value,” Damon said, “or it goes away.”

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — San Francisco 49ers quarterback Trey Lance will miss the rest of the season after breaking his right ankle Sunday.
Lance went down after running the ball on the second drive of a 27-7 win over the Seattle Seahawks. A cart came out on the field and Lance's leg was put into an air cast before he was taken off.
Coach Kyle Shanahan said after the game that Lance would need to undergo season-ending surgery, raising immediate questions about using Lance as a runner between the tackles so often early this season.
“Any time a guy gets hurt, I wish I didn’t call that,” Shanahan said. "But no, that’s something we were going to do and something we would continue to do. It’s a football play we believe in and something that gives him a real chance to be successful.”
Lance's teammates and several Seahawks players paid him respect before he left the field and was replaced by former starter Jimmy Garoppolo, who threw a touchdown pass on his first full drive and passed for 154 yards.
“It's tough whenever you see a guy get hurt,” Garoppolo said. “I feel for him. Trey’s a tough dude. He’ll be all right.”
Lance took over the starting job this season from Garoppolo after being drafted third overall in 2021. San Francisco traded three first-round picks to move up nine spots to take Lance, making a major investment in him.
Lance spent his rookie season mostly on the bench watching Garoppolo as the Niners went all the way to the NFC title game before losing to the Rams.
But now he was supposed to get his chance as a starter for the first time since 2019 at North Dakota State. Lance only played one game in college the following season because of the pandemic.
“It’s the worst part of the game, obviously," said defensive end Nick Bosa, who had a season-ending knee injury in Week 2 of the 2020 season. “It happens instantly and there’s no going back. Once it happens, obviously you feel like your life is over for a certain amount of time. ... If he gets surgery, whenever that is, then that kind of starts your road back. It’s not going to be easy, but he will be back and he’ll be fine. Just really tough right now.”
San Francisco planned to trade Garoppolo this offseason, but was unable to after he underwent shoulder surgery in March.
Garoppolo remained on the roster but didn't practice with the team at all during training camp, throwing on his own on a side field, before agreeing to return as a backup on a reduced contract.
Instead of the nonguaranteed $24.2 million base salary Garoppolo was owed this season, he will get a $6.5 million fully guaranteed base salary, $500,000 in roster bonuses and the chance to make nearly $9 million more in playing time bonuses.
Garoppolo made $350,000 in bonuses Sunday for playing at least 25% of the snaps and the Niners winning the game.
Now he could have a chance at a more substantial role depending on how long Lance is injured. Garoppolo didn't take long to get into form, throwing a 38-yard TD pass to Ross Dwelley on his first full possession.
Lance was 2 for 3 for 30 yards passing and had three carries for 13 yards before leaving the game. This is the second time Lance has gotten hurt in his brief time in the NFL. He injured his knee after his first start last season against Arizona when Garoppolo was hurt.
Lance carried the ball 47 times in less than 15 quarters as the main quarterback the past two seasons.
“Do you guys watch other teams in this league? Buffalo does it all the time with their quarterback,” Shanahan said about Josh Allen. "It’s a pretty normal play. It’s part of football and it’s unfortunate that he hurt his ankle on it. It’s a very normal play.”

SANTA CLARA — Trey Lance faked the first-quarter handoff and carried the ball up the middle of the field.
It was his third up-the-middle run of the game. It was his final run of the game. It was his final run of the season.
Lance broke his right ankle on the zone-read run. When he tried to get up, the ankle was pointing 90 degrees to the right — a byproduct of a late slide attempt and a collision with Seattle linebacker Cody Barton.
Quarterbacks are destiny in the NFL, so when a team’s starter goes down with a terrible, season-ending injury like the one Lance suffered Sunday, the natural reaction is to find someone or something to blame.
The first person in line is Kyle Shanahan, the 49ers’ head coach and play caller.
Shanahan had called for 29 designed runs for Lance — more than half of his overall rushing attempts — in the second-year quarterback’s first four NFL starts. The vast majority of those designed runs came up the middle.
“Anytime a guy gets hurt, I wish I didn’t call that,” Shanahan said. “That’s something we were going to do and something we would continue to do. That’s a football play we believe in and something that gives him a chance to be real successful in this league.”
“Buffalo does it all the time with their quarterback,” Shanahan continued. “It’s a pretty normal play. It’s a part of football, and it’s unfortunate he hurt his ankle on it, but it’s a very normal play. You guys should watch some other people.”
Yes, it’s easy to say that Lance was bound to be injured when he was used like a fullback.
The issue, as Lance explained earlier this week, is that if he was going to run the ball, the 6-foot-4, 225-pound quarterback had to go up the middle.
“I’m not bigger, faster, and stronger than pretty much everyone else,” Lance said. “Guys catch up a lot quicker, space is filled, guys close a lot faster.
“I have to learn to protect myself, just being in a different situation knowing how important it is for me to stay healthy … For the most part, when I’m running between the tackles or running on third down, I’m not ever going to slide and go fourth-and-two and just give up on the play.”
The comments turned out to be prescient.
We had seen on Lance’s 53 proceeding runs before his fateful one Sunday that he was not kidding about defenders closing much faster. Lamar Jackson, he is not.
Last season, in Lance’s first career start against the Arizona Cardinals, the rookie quarterback was chased down by opposing defensive ends with stunning ease. It was a harsh welcome-to-the-NFL moment.
“Guys coming downhill, guys don’t hesitate,” Lance said Wednesday.
Lance has a lot of talent, but in three-plus games as a starter, he had not shown the ability to effectively move the ball down the field with just his arm. His challenge completing short and medium passes could be countered by his ability to run the ball up the middle. It was an integral part of moving the chains, and it was necessary at this early stage of Lance’s career.
The Niners coaches hoped that the more snaps Lance took and the more practices he had, the more effective he would become as a thrower, diminishing the need to run the ball.
Shanahan was doing the most he could with the quarterback he drafted for the sake of the team that surrounded him.
Was there risk in that plan? Of course. But every play in football is a risk — it’s impossible to try to avoid that risk and still win games. Especially when you have a quarterback who needs reps on the field.
You can’t protect a quarterback — and limit your offense — when the passer has not yet proven he can win games by himself.
You can’t blame Lance for a freak injury, and you can’t blame Shanahan for calling plays that he believed would keep Niners’ offense on the field.
The only knock on Shanahan that would be fair is that he had played a quarterback who was not ready.
But Lance was never going to become ready sitting on the sideline. When he returns next season, the same truth will apply.

LONDON (AP) — U.S. President Joe Biden paid his respects at Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin on Sunday as thousands of police, hundreds of British troops and an army of officials made final preparations for the queen’s state funeral — a spectacular display of national mourning that will also be the biggest gathering of world leaders for years.
People across Britain paused for a minute of silence at 8 p.m. in memory of the only monarch most have ever known. At Westminster Hall, where the queen is lying in state, the constant stream of mourners paused for 60 seconds as people observed the minute of reflection in deep silence.
In Windsor, where the queen will be laid to rest on Monday evening after her funeral at Westminster Abbey, rain began to fall as the crowd fell silent for the moment of reflection. Some have set up small camps and chairs outside Windsor Castle, with plans to spend the night there to reserve the best spots to view the queen’s coffin when it arrives.
“Well, it’s just one night and day of our lives. Elizabeth gave us – you know – 70 years. So the rest of it is not a lot to ask, is it?” said Fred Sweeney, 52, who kitted out his spot with two Union flags on large flag poles.
Biden and first lady Jill Biden were among thousands of mourners — from locals and tourists to royals and world leaders — to pay their respects. The president made the sign of the cross and put his hand to his heart as he stood quietly near the casket in the ornate 900-year-old hall with his wife and U.S. Ambassador Jane Hartley.
Biden then signed the official condolence book and attended a reception Sunday at Buckingham Palace hosted by King Charles III. He is one of 500 world leaders and royals invited to the queen’s state funeral Monday, along with hundreds of dignitaries, politicians, military veterans and British charity workers.
Biden called Queen Elizabeth II “decent” and “honorable” and “all about service” as he signed the condolence book, saying his heart went out to the royal family.
“Queen Elizabeth lived her life for the people,” Jill Biden wrote in a book for spouses and ambassadors. “She served with wisdom and grace. We will never forget her warmth, kindness and the conversations we shared.”
One no-show will be Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, whose invitation drew criticism from human rights groups because of the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in 2018. Saudi Arabia is expected to be represented by another royal, Prince Turki bin Mohammed.
As the dignitaries poured in, the clock was ticking down for those seeking a place in the longest queue many have ever seen to file past the queen’s coffin. The miles-long queue is expected to be closed to new arrivals later Sunday so that everyone now in the line can view the coffin before Monday morning, when it will be taken to Westminster Abbey for the queen’s funeral.
Family by family, thousands of people kept joining the line around the clock, braving chilly overnight temperatures and waits of up to 17 hours in a queue that stretched for over 5 miles (8 kilometers.)
Lauren Wilson, 36, was in the much-shorter queue for people with mobility issues. She said she wanted to experience in person the coffin lying in state.
“The world is in such a weird place and then this happened. It feels more momentous,” she said.
She worried that the pageantry surrounding Elizabeth’s death deprives the queen’s relatives of the ability to come to terms with their loss.
“The family are not allowed to grieve. I find it quite heartbreaking,” she said.
The queen’s eight grandchildren, led by heir to the throne Prince William, circled the coffin and stood with their heads bowed during a silent vigil on Saturday evening.
Among the foreign leaders in London was New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who told the BBC she was humbled to represent her nation at the funeral and to witness the national outpouring of grief and respect for the late queen.
“The thing that I will take away from this period is just the beauty of the public’s response, the kindness that you see from members of the public, the patience, the camaraderie. That has been, for me, the most moving tribute of all, has been the public response of the British people,” she said.
Monday has been declared a public holiday in honor of Elizabeth, who died Sept. 8 at 96 after 70 years on the throne. Her funeral will be broadcast live to over 200 countries and territories worldwide and screened to crowds in parks and public spaces across the country.
Police officers from around the country will be on duty as part of the biggest one-day policing operation in London’s history.
Camilla, the queen consort, paid tribute to her mother-in-law in a video message, saying the monarch “carved her own role” as a “solitary woman” on a world stage dominated by men.
“I will always remember her smile. That smile is unforgettable,” said Camilla, who is married to Charles.
Ukraine’s first lady, Olena Zelenska, was also among mourners paying respects to the queen’s coffin. British royal officials said Zelenska met with Catherine, the Princess of Wales, at Buckingham Palace on Sunday afternoon. They did not release further details. The British government has been among the strongest supporters of Ukraine since it was invaded by Russia in February.
On Saturday night, it was the grandchildren’s time to mourn. William and Prince Harry, Charles’ sons, were joined by Princess Anne’s children, Zara Tindall and Peter Philips; Prince Andrew’s daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie; and Prince Edward’s two children — Lady Louise Windsor and James, Viscount Severn.
William stood with his head bowed at the head of the coffin and Harry at the foot. Both princes, who are military veterans, were in uniform. The crowd kept slowly, silently filing past.
“You could see that they were thinking hard about their grandmother, the queen,” said Ian Mockett, a civil engineer from Oxford in southern England. “It was good to see them all together as a set of grandchildren, given the things that have happened over the last few years.”
The lying-in-state continues until early Monday morning, when the queen’s coffin will be moved on a gun carriage pulled by 142 Royal Navy sailors to nearby Westminster Abbey for the funeral, the finale of 10 days of national mourning for Britain’s longest-reigning monarch.
After the service Monday at the abbey, the late queen’s coffin will be transported through the historic heart of London on the state gun carriage. It will then be taken in a hearse to Windsor, where the queen will be interred alongside her late husband, Prince Philip, who died last year at 99.
Sumita Tanda put down bright red roses as a huge floral tribute bloomed near Windsor Castle.
“I feel so privileged to be a local resident of Windsor,” she said. “I just wanted to pay my respects.”

UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) — Las Vegas never had a professional sports champion — until Sunday.
Chelsea Gray scored 20 points to lead the Las Vegas Aces to their first WNBA title, and the city’s first pro title, in a 78-71 road win over the Connecticut Sun in Game 4.
Gray went 9 of 13 from the floor, and was named Finals MVP after averaging 18.3 points in the series.
Vegas finished on an 8-0 run. As the buzzer sounded, league MVP A’ja Wilson, who played every minute of the game, grabbed the ball and stomped the floor before being mobbed by her teammates.
“We champs! We champs! We champs!” Wilson screamed at teammates as they pulled on their championship hats and T-shirts before the trophy ceremony.
Riquna Williams had 17 points for Vegas, Kelsey Plum added 16 points, Jackie Young had 13 and Wilson added 11 points to go with her 14 rebounds.
Wilson hopes this is just the beginning for the franchise.
“You see it. You see it,” Wilson said in the on-court celebration. “This is what we’re building. This is what we’re doing. This is it. I’m so happy right now.”
Courtney Williams had 17 points to lead Connecticut and Alyssa Thomas had her second straight triple-double with 11 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds. Jonquel Jones added 13 points and DeWanna Bonner had 12.
“When you come up short it certainly, really hurts,” Sun coach Curt Miller said. “But that means that there was something that mattered, and something special among that group of players.”
For Aces coach Becky Hammon, who didn’t get a title in her standout WNBA career, the ring completed a decades-long quest. She left an assistant coach position with Gregg Popovich and the San Antonio Spurs to take over in Las Vegas. The move paid off.
“They’re unbelievable on the court, but they’re unbelievable humans, first and foremost,” Hammon said. “They care about each other. They invest in each other. It’s been an absolute honor to be their coach. I saw excellence and I wanted to be a part of it.”
Hammon also paid tribute to former Aces coach Bill Laimbeer, who was on the floor for the ceremony: “He put this team together and saw the pieces.”
Aces owner Mark Davis, who also owns the NFL’s Las Vegas Raiders, wasn’t with his football team Sunday. He was in Connecticut to get a trophy. He hoisted it, then turned it over to gleeful players who did the same.
“Las Vegas, we are world champions,” Davis said.
The Aces led by two points at the half and four points after three quarters. They held a six-point lead in the fourth when Plum was called for a flagrant foul after running into Bonner while the Sun guard was attempting a 3-pointer and sending her to the floor holding her right ankle.
Bonner hit all three free throws before Jones’ short jumper cut the lead to a point. The Sun then tied the game at 67 on free throw by Courtney Williams and took a 71-70 lead on two fouls shots from Brionna Jones.
But Las Vegas had the answers.
Riquna Williams 3-pointer put the Aces back on top and Gray’s step-back jumper extended the lead back to 75-71 with under a minute left. A’ja Wilson then stole a pass and Plum hit a short jump shot to secure the win.
SCRAPPY GAME
As expected, it was a physical game — appropriately played on an NFL Sunday. The Sun got a scare when Bonner took an inadvertent elbow to the gut from Gray late in the first quarter and and was on the floor for a few minutes before being helped to the bench. She came back into the game later in the half, apparently suffering no ill effects. Natisha Hiedeman and Plum got into a short pushing match in the second quarter, eliciting technical fouls for both players. That was all before Plum’s flagrant in the fourth.
NO GRAY AREA
Gray wasn’t a WNBA All-Star this season, nor was she a first-team all-league pick, and had voiced her displeasure about that. After scoring 21 points in each of the first two games of the Finals, she scored just 11 points in Game 3, but bounced back. Way back.
“They can keep that All-Star and first team,” Gray said. “I got the ring.”
INCLUSIVE ORGANIZATIONS
Before the game, both coaches reflected on the makeup of organizations in the Final. The Aces are led by Hammon and two Black women executives in general manager Nikki Williams and Nikki Fargas, president of business operations. The Sun are owned by the Mohegan Tribe, have a woman president in Jen Rizzotti and are coached by Curt Miller, a gay man.
“Women’s basketball is such a story in terms of diversity and inclusion. I mean, our our league defines it and I’m so proud to be a part of it,”” Miller said, adding that he hopes to be an inspiration to any gay child “wondering if they can chase a career in sports.”
Hammon said she believes the diversity in her team’s front office has made it stronger
“You can make a lot better picture with a box full of crayons than just a pencil,” she said.
VEGAS PRIDE AND PARADE
The start of the celebration was shown on the video screens at the Raiders’ stadium during the NFL game against Arizona on Sunday, with fans breaking into loud cheers.
They can cheer more in a few days: a parade on the Las Vegas Strip is planned for Tuesday night.
“What a team, what talent, what a victory! You have made Las Vegas so proud!” Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman said in a statement. “Thank you for your effort, discipline & focus. We can’t wait for the celebrations & a great parade!”
Wilson said after the game that paradegoers should be ready for a party: “When you come to the parade, you better be four shots in. If you ain’t four shots in, don’t come.”
TIP-INS
The Aces improved to 4-0 in this year’s playoffs with two days rest. … Vegas is the fourth WNBA team to win a title with both a league MVP and coach of the year … The Sun came up short after having been among the last four WNBA teams standing for each of the last four seasons, making it back to the Finals for the first time since 2019.
“Nobody expected us to be here,” Bonner said. “They expected us to lose to Chicago. They expected us to lose to Dallas. Despite all of that, we made it to the Finals.”

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Mac Jones threw for 253 yards and a touchdown and the New England Patriots edged the Pittsburgh Steelers 17-14 on Sunday.
The Patriots (1-1) haven’t lost consecutive games to start a season since 2001. They took advantage of a handful of mistakes by the Steelers (1-1), including a muffed punt in the third quarter by ex-Patriot Gunner Olszewski that set up a 2-yard touchdown run by Damien Harris. That gave New England an 11-point lead it didn’t relinquish.
Jones finished 21 of 35, including a 44-yard touchdown pass to a leaping Nelson Agholor late in the first half. Jones, who dealt with back spasms last week against Miami and missed practice time this week with an illness, also threw an interception on a lob that was easily picked off by safety Minkah Fitzpatrick. The second-year quarterback narrowly avoided a second in the third quarter when Cam Sutton dropped a pass that hit him squarely in the hands, one of a handful of missed opportunities by the Steelers.
Harris ran for 71 yards, most of them coming on a clock-chewing drive in the final minutes that let New England play keep away as Pittsburgh’s defense sagged late without star outside linebacker T.J. Watt, who is out indefinitely with a left pectoral injury.
Mitch Trubisky threw for 168 yards with a touchdown and an interception for the Steelers, whose offense sputtered for long stretches as it struggled to find any sense of rhythm.
Trubisky hit Pat Freiermuth for a 7-yard touchdown on the first play of the fourth quarter to draw the Steelers within three and briefly quiet the chants for rookie backup quarterback Kenny Pickett.
Those cheers don’t figure to go away anytime soon, however, after the Steelers went three and out twice when they got the ball back with a chance to tie or take the lead.
The first meeting between two of the NFL’s marquee franchises to feature neither Tom Brady nor Ben Roethlisberger in years lacked the high stakes that long defined the rivalry between former AFC superpowers.
Instead, New England came in looking for a spark following a blah Week 1 loss to Miami while the Steelers are still in the nascent stages of the post-Roethlisberger era, a journey that began with a thrilling and slightly bizarre victory over Cincinnati last Sunday.
The overtime victory came at quite a cost. Without Watt, Pittsburgh failed to generate any sort of sustained pass rush against Jones. The Steelers failed to record a single sack, and while Jones wasn’t spectacular, he didn’t have to be while extending drives with responsible and safe throws over the middle.
It was enough to help the Patriots improve to 13-4 against the Steelers under coach Bill Belichick. New England celebrated its 500th game under Robert Kraft’s ownership the same way it celebrated so many others: with a victory short on style but long on substance.
UP NEXT
Patriots: Host Baltimore next Sunday.
Steelers: Travel to Cleveland to face the Browns on Thursday night. Pittsburgh swept their longtime AFC North rivals last season.

NAME: Alan Martinez
POLITICAL PARTY: Republican
OCCUPATION: Retired
CITY OF RESIDENCE: Bernalillo
RELEVANT EXPERIENCE: 25 years with New Mexico Department of Veteran Services, 16 years as policy director/legislative director, and nine years as the deputy Cabinet secretary
EDUCATION: Bachelor’s degree in education from Southern Arizona Bible College in 1986; also attended Cochise Junior College and CNM; high school diploma from Española Valley High School in 1982.
CAMPAIGN WEBSITE: alan4district23.com
1. New Mexico is highly reliant on the oil and natural gas industries to generate revenue to fund state programs, as evidenced by recent oil boom and bust cycles. What steps should the Legislature take to diversify the state’s economy and revenue base?
A balanced energy policy is a must. Support for small businesses must be more than a sound bite, we must start working on tax policy that makes it easier for small business to grow. Elimination of the GRT and institution of a simple sales tax should be pursued.
2. During the last regular legislative session, there was an unsuccessful push to make it easier to keep certain defendants behind bars until trial. Should New Mexico law be changed to make it easier to hold individuals charged with violent offenses such as murder and first-degree child abuse behind bars until trial?
The constitutional amendment that was approved by voters was misleading. Judges must be given the ability to hold those charged with violent crimes behind bars to keep our citizens safe.
3. What steps should the Legislature take to address crime and public safety as New Mexico faces one of the highest violent crime rates in the nation?
We must support law enforcement. The defunding of law enforcement was a huge knee-jerk mistake. We must provide funding for competitive salaries, training and equipment. We must also repeal the recently passed elimination of qualified immunity for law enforcement.
4. Given the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, do you support or oppose codifying abortion protections in state law? And do you support or oppose enacting any restrictions on abortion in New Mexico?
I do not support late term abortions. This policy should be changed in order to protect our next generation.
5. New Mexico has already implemented several gun control laws in recent years. Would you support or oppose legislation that banned or restricted the sale of AR-15-style semi-automatic weapons, such as raising the age limit for purchasing such weapons? And what about legislation making it a crime to fail to safely secure firearms around children?
These gun control policies only harm law abiding citizens. They do not prevent criminals or those who choose to unlawfully harm others. Instead we need to look at root causes of why people choose violence.
6. The state agency tasked with keeping New Mexico children safe has faced recent scrutiny over transparency issues and its handling of high-profile child abuse cases. What changes would you support to improve the operations of the Children, Youth and Families Department?
A complete overhaul of CYFD is years overdue. Funding for additional social workers, training, and support for these front line workers is a must. Better communication with local law enforcement is a must. The creation of a team approach to combat the horrible crime of harming a child could save lives.
7. What changes, if any, should New Mexico make to its gross receipts tax code?
It should be repealed and a simple sales tax should be enacted.
8. New Mexico is currently the only state that does not pay its legislators a salary, though lawmakers do get per diem payments and can qualify for a legislative pension. Do you support or oppose a salaried Legislature and, if so, how much should lawmakers be paid?
I oppose the creation of a salaried legislature.
9. What more, if anything, should the Legislature do to address a court ruling that found New Mexico is failing to provide a sufficient education to all students, especially Native Americans and those who don’t speak English as a first language?
I support an equal opportunity for all students, regardless of race, income level, or ZIP code. The way that education is funded must start with the student and teachers needs in mind. Teachers being forced to furnish their own classroom supplies is an embarrassment.
10. In recent years, New Mexico has steadily increased spending on early childhood programs, such as home visiting, prekindergarten and child care assistance, and created a new early childhood trust fund. Do you support or oppose the proposed constitutional amendment on the November ballot that would withdraw more money from the state’s permanent school fund to increase funding for early childhood services and K-12 education?
I oppose the proposed constitutional amendment to withdraw additional monies from the permanent fund. We have to protect the body of that fund. I support early childhood services, pre-K, and K-12 education. However, I support a transparent process including more accountability on how the current funding is spent.
11. In order to address climate change and air quality issues, do you support or oppose legislation limiting greenhouse gas emissions and requiring the state achieve net-zero emissions by 2050?
I support a balanced approach to energy policy. We must allow the energy industry to pursue carbon capture technologies and other limitations on emissions. Renewables must also be pursued but attention should be given to harmful effects across all sources before forcing a net-zero goal.
12. Do you believe changes should be made to the emergency powers held by a governor during a pandemic or other time of crisis. If so, do you believe such powers should be expanded or reduced and in what specific ways?
I support a limited scope emergency powers policy for the governor in order to maintain a constitutionally mandated balance of powers between the three branches of our government.
13. Would you support a merit-based evaluation system to determine how the state spends its capital outlay funding?
I support a more transparent process when funding capital outlay requests, making sure there is accountability in the process, thus eliminating the chance of corruption and waste.
14. Do you believe former President Donald Trump’s claim that he was the legitimate winner of the 2020 presidential election? (Yes or No answer only, please)
No.
15. What changes, if any, would you support to New Mexico’s election laws?
I support the opportunity for every lawfully registered voter to have every chance to cast a ballot. I think that an independent investigation into any question of election integrity must be allowed to proceed without political pressure from political candidates or parties involved.
Personal background
1. Have you or your business, if you are a business owner, ever been the subject of any state or federal tax liens?
No.
2. Have you ever been involved in a personal or business bankruptcy proceeding?
No.
3. Have you ever been arrested for, charged with, or convicted of drunken driving, any misdemeanor or any felony in New Mexico or any other state? If so, explain.
No.

A few days of hot weather before a significant cool down
A ridge of high pressure will bring unseasonably hot weather to central and eastern Kentucky Monday through Wednesday.
Sunday has brought another day of comfortable weather with highs in the low to mid 80s, and just a few more clouds. Overnight tonight, clouds will continue to build, but any rain showers should stay west of the area.
The first part of the forecast brings some notable changes for Monday morning. That’s thanks to a line of thunderstorms expected to develop along a cold front this evening across the Midwest. Severe weather is expected in parts of Missouri, Iowa, and Illinois.
This line of thunderstorms will move southeast through the overnight hours and, without sufficient instability, will weaken dramatically by the time it reaches the Bluegrass State. As a result, only a few isolated showers or thunderstorms are expected across central and eastern Kentucky, with most locations staying dry. The best chance of rain will be Monday morning.
The second part of Monday’s forecast package is the notable uptick in heat and humidity. Once clouds clear from the morning showers, expect highs to top of in the upper 80s. With the extra heat and humidity, a stray shower or storm will be possible during this time frame as well.
The heat is thanks to a late-season ridge of high pressure anchored over Texas. We’ll be on the northeast periphery of this ridge. Wednesday should be the hottest day, with temperatures expected to climb into the low 90s.
The heat is short-lived as a trough of low pressure develops east of the Great Lakes towards the end of the week, beginning our fall-like cool down. A cold front on Thursday will return temperatures to the lower 70s by Friday. At this time, this looks like a mainly dry front, but a couple of showers on Thursday afternoon can’t be ruled out.
Meantime, in the tropics, Hurricane Fiona continues to batter Puerto Rico with extremely heavy rain and damaging winds. The storm will bring rough weather to the Greater Antilles before turning right, out to sea, and strengthening further.
ABC 36 HOUR FORECAST
SUNDAY NIGHT: Building clouds. Lows in the mid-60s
MONDAY: Partly cloudy. Slight chance of showers or thunderstorms. Highs in the upper-80s.
MONDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy with a slight chance of showers. Lows in the mid-60s.

Influencer stunt backfires as MAFS star is brutally mocked for posing with a scantily clad model and tiny horse on the streets of Adelaide: 'Where did they escape from?'
A former Married At First Sight star was given a reality check this week after being called out for an embarrassing stunt on the streets of Adelaide.
Retired footy player Seb Guilhaus thought it would be a good idea to stage a photo shoot on Hindley Street with a scantily clad model and a miniature pony.
Footage of the bizarre moment was posted to the S**t Adelaide Instagram page, which documents lame and wacky incidents in South Australia's capital.

The bystander who filmed the odd scenes on the busy main street said: 'If I haven't seen anything like this on Hindley Street, today is the day. S**t.'
People flocked to the comments section to mock Seb, whose shirt was unbuttoned to show off his muscled torso, as well as the model, who wore a very skimpy two-piece and platform heels.
'Where did they escape from?' one person wrote, while another added: 'Brownlow red carpet?'
'Hindley Street, home to many a horse!' a baffled Adelaidean wrote.

It comes just days after Seb, a fitness influencer and OnlyFans model, announced his split from girlfriend Ania Kilic after 10 months of dating.
He revealed on Instagram the couple had decided to 'take a break' because their 'happiness [had] been suffering for quite some time'.
'In all honesty, I haven't been well. My mental health has rapidly declined over the last year,' he told his 104,000 followers.

'Ania and I are taking a break. I won't go into too much detail but our happiness has been suffering for quite some time.
'The best parts have been great but the toxic parts have been debilitating.
'I need time to gain clarity and to repair myself. Thanks heaps for all your support.'

Back in July, Seb admitted the feedback the couple had received since joining OnlyFans wasn't always 100 per cent positive.
The personal trainer rose to fame on Married At First Sight in 2020 when he was partnered with fan-favourite bride Elizabeth Sobinoff.
The pair called it quits 12 months later, and Seb subsequently began dating Ania, a longtime friend he'd had a crush on years earlier.

Biden: Classified documents at Mar-a-Lago raise concerns
PresidentBiden says the discovery of top-secret documents at former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate raised concerns that sensitive data was compromised and called it “irresponsible.”
Biden, who rarely does interviews, spoke to CBS’ “60 Minutes” in a segment that aired Sunday. He said that when he heard about classified documents taken from the White House, he wondered how “anyone could be that irresponsible.”
Biden added: “And I thought, what data was in there that may compromise sources and methods?”
The president said he did not get a heads-up before the Trump estate was searched, and he has not asked for any specifics “because I don’t want to get myself in the middle of whether or not the Justice Department should move or not move on certain actions they could take.”
Anxiety runs high across the island with Fiona due just two days before the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Maria, a devastating Category 4 storm.
The FBI says it took about 11,000 documents, including roughly 100 with classification markings found in a storage room and an office, while serving a court-authorized search warrant at the home on Aug. 8. Weeks after the search, Trump lawyers asked a judge to appoint a special master to conduct an independent review of the records.
The warrant says federal agents were investigating potential violations of three different federal laws, including one that governs gathering, transmitting or losing defense information under the Espionage Act.
In the wide-ranging interview, the president wouldn’t commit to running for reelection in 2024, though he’s said in the past that he planned to.
“My intention, as I said to begin with, is that I would run again,” he said. “But it’s just an intention. But is it a firm decision that I run again? That remains to be seen.”
Biden was asked about growing concerns that Russia’s efforts to seize Ukraine could inspire China’s leader Xi Jinping to attack Taiwan. The island has been recognized by the U.S. as part of China but has its own democratic government. Xi and Russian President Vladimir Putin met last week.
Biden again said the U.S. forces would respond “if in fact there was an unprecedented attack.”
White House officials later said the official U.S. policy had not changed, and would not say whether American forces would be called to defend Taiwan. Biden has made the claim before, but the statements come at an increasingly tense time for U.S.-China relations, particularly after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s trip there last month.
Beijing sees official American contact with Taiwan as encouragement to make the island’s decades-old de facto independence permanent, a step Biden and other U.S. leaders say they don’t support.
The president said the U.S. commitment to Ukraine was “ironclad” and would remain so “as long as it takes.” Ukrainian troops are engaged in a counteroffensive that has reclaimed towns and cities from Russian troops. But the toll the war has taken is vast, and Ukraine is finding evidence of fresh atrocities, including torture chambers and mass graves. Since January 2021, the U.S. has provided more than $13.5 billion in security assistance to Ukraine.
In the same hour, “60 Minutes” also aired an interview with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, who will be addressing the United Nations General Assembly in New York this week. Raisi echoed standard Iranian lines about the status of currently stalled nuclear talks with world powers. He said the United States is not trustworthy and demanded guarantees that the U.S. would not withdraw from a deal as President Trump did in 2018.
Raisi said he had no plans to meet with Biden on the sidelines of the U.N. event as it would serve no purpose, although he reiterated that Iran is willing to discuss prisoner exchanges with the United States. He also defended his country’s anti-Israel stance and said Tehran was committed to pursuing “justice” for the Trump administration’s assassination of a top Iranian military commander.

Shane Beamer apologizes for reaction to Title IX recognition at South Carolina football game
COLUMBIA — South Carolina football coach Shane Beamer apologized Sunday for shouting at women athletes being honored to get off the field during the Gamecocks' 48-7 loss against Georgia on Saturday at Williams-Brice Stadium.
During a TV timeout between the first and second quarter, South Carolina invited all of its female athletes to be recognized in honor of the 50th anniversary of Title IX, which occurred earlier this year. The large group was slow exiting the Gamecocks' end zone where the ceremony occurred, and ESPN's broadcast of the game showed a visibly aggravated Beamer shouting "Get off the field," at the athletes.
Beamer said he wasn't told about the ceremony in the end zone and that officials told him to have his players lined up as soon as the TV timeout concluded. The Gamecocks had decided to attempt a fourth-down conversion on the upcoming play, and Beamer said he reacted emotionally because the delay allowed Georgia to see the offensive formation for several seconds before the snap.
"We had a critical, critical fourth down decision to make ... the whole time I'm not even paying attention to what's going on down in the endzone," Beamer said. "We were so immersed in trying to make a decision on what we were going to do ... I was worried about what was going on in our own offensive huddle. I apologize to anyone that I offended. That was just my initial reaction."

BIGGEST QUESTIONS:Answering the biggest questions after South Carolina football's worst loss ever to Georgia
The Gamecocks ultimately did not convert the fourth down and turned the ball over to Georgia on the following play.
The clip of Beamer's response went viral after Gamecocks soccer player Jyllissa Harris responded on Twitter that criticized South Carolina for allowing the group of athletes to delay the game.
"All female student athletes were ~asked~ to come to the game to recognize 50 years of Title IX," Harris wrote. "We were on the field for maybe 15 seconds then screamed at to get off. If you want to honor female student athletes, then do that, not this."
Harris did not criticize Beamer for his response, noting in another post that he was in the heat of the moment and the football coach has been "nothing but supportive" of women's sports at South Carolina.
It was a sentiment Beamer emphasized in his apology, noting that he cares deeply about women's athletics as the father of two daughters who play sports.
"I hope people know me well enough to know what an advocate I am for women's sports," Beamer said. "I've got two daughters of my own that play sports. I'm at as many women's athletic events here at Carolina as I possibly can be, because I believe them and support them. Anyone who thinks otherwise surely doesn't know me."

Arteta's decision to bring on 15-year-old based on 'gut feeling'
Sept 19 (Reuters) - Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said his decision to bring on 15-year-old Ethan Nwaneri against Brentford on Sunday was based on a "pure gut feeling" and that it shows the club are committed to developing and rewarding talent.
Nwaneri became the youngest player in Premier League history on Sunday when he came on as a substitute for Fabio Vieira in the second minute of stoppage time of Arsenal's 3-0 win.
"It was a pure gut feeling," Arteta told reporters.
"In your career all the steps are not going to be forward. After that maybe he needs three backwards to go another forward, but I think he deserved it. It sends a really strong message about who we are as a club as well.
"All the decisions that we take and that I take are for the club. It's not for me, it's not for the player, it's because we believe that he has a talent that has to be developed incredibly in the next two or three years."
Goals from William Saliba and Gabriel Jesus gave Arteta's side a 2-0 lead at the break before Vieira completed the win in the 54th minute, as Arsenal returned to the top of the league.
Arteta was full of praise for goalscorer Vieira, who joined from Porto in June.
"He's a creative player who needs to play with his gut feeling and his instinct. That's what he needs to do and we need to create as much scenarios as possible for him to put his talent to the service of the team," Arteta said.
"But what I like as well is the way he competes. To come here and the way he went about the ugly part of the game, I was really impressed."

TOKYO (AP) — A powerful typhoon slammed ashore in southern Japan on Sunday as it pounded the region with strong winds and heavy rain, causing blackouts, paralyzing ground and air transportation and prompting the evacuation of thousands of people.
The Japan Meteorological Agency said Typhoon Nanmadol was heading north after making landfall in Kagoshima city on Japan’s southern main island of Kyushu. It was packing maximum winds of 162 kilometers (101 miles) per hour, and is forecast to reach Tokyo on Tuesday.
The weather agency predicted as much as 50 centimeters (20 inches) of rainfall by Monday evening and warned of flooding and landslides. It also alerted residents in the affected areas of “unprecedented” levels of powerful winds and waves, urging them to evacuate early.
Storm and high wave warnings were in effect in Kagoshima, where residents were told to stay inside stable buildings on second floor or higher, if it’s deemed a safer option than going to evacuation centers.
More than 12,000 people took shelter at evacuation centers. In neighboring Miyazaki prefecture, about 8,000 people left their homes.
Local officials said several people had been injured. In Kushima city in Miyazaki, a woman was slightly hurt by shards of glass when winds broke windows at a gymnasium. NHK national television said 15 people had been injured, citing its own tally.
Power outages were expanded across the Kyushu region as the typhoon damaged more power lines and facilities while moving north. By Sunday night, 216,450 homes were without electricity, according to Kyushu Electric Power Co.
Footage on NHK television showed a pachinko pinball parlor with part of its glass wall shattered by the gust in Kanoya city in Kagoshima. Elsewhere in the prefecture, an elderly woman in suffered a minor injury after falling, NHK said.
Hundreds of domestic flights have been canceled and more are planned to be grounded in western Japan through Tuesday as the typhoon headed northeast, according to Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways.
Public transportation including trains and buses in many areas on the Kyushu island were suspended throughout Sunday. Railway operators said bullet trains on Kyushu island also have been suspended, and more stoppages are expected in greater areas in the southwest Monday.

Asian shares slip lower following broad decline on Wall St
Asian shares fell Monday after another week of sizable losses on Wall Street, as investors braced for another interest rate hike by the U.S. Federal Reserve.
Japan’s markets were closed for a holiday. Oil prices rose while U.S. futures declined.
On Friday, a stark warning Friday from FedEx about rapidly worsening trends in the economy gave investors more to worry about. The S&P 500 fell 0.7%, while the Nasdaq lost almost 1%. The Dow lost almost half a percent.
Markets have been on edge because of stubbornly high inflation and the increases in interest rates being used to fight it. The fear is that the Fed and other central banks might overshoot their policy targets, triggering a recession.
Most economists forecast that the Fed will jack up its primary lending rate another three-quarters of a point when the central bank’s leaders meet this week.
“Fact is, hawkish expectations built on the ‘hot under the hood’ U.S. inflation print means that markets have good reason to be braced for headwinds amid prospects of higher (for longer) rates; and arguably “higher for longer” USD (dollar) as well,” Vishnu Varathan of Mizuho Bank said in a commentary.
The S&P 500 sank 4.8% for the week, with much of the loss coming from a 4.3% rout on Tuesday following a surprisingly hot report on inflation.
All the major indexes have now posted losses four out of the past five weeks.
In Asia on Monday, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng lost 0.9% to 18,586.47 while the Shanghai Composite index shed 0.3% to 3,115.87. Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 edged 0.1% lower, to 6,731.80. In Seoul, the Kospi sank 1% to 2,360.22.
Japan’s central bank meets Wednesday and Thursday amid rising pressure to counter a sharp decline in the yen, which is trading near 145 to the dollar after sharp increases in the value of the greenback. That has raised costs for businesses and consumers, who must pay more for imports of oil, gas and other necessities.
However the Bank of Japan has held firm so far in maintaining an ultralow benchmark rate of minus 0.1% in hopes of stimulating investment and spending.
FedEx sank 21.4% for its biggest single-day sell-off on record Frday after warning investors that profits for its fiscal first-quarter will likely fall short of forecasts because of a drop-off in business. The package delivery service is also shuttering storefronts and corporate offices and expects business conditions to further weaken.
The S&P 500 fell 0.7% to 3,873.33. It’s now down 18.7% so far this year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 0.5% to 30,822.42 and the Nasdaq slid 0.9% to 11,448.40.
Makers of household goods, which are typically considered less risky investments, held up better than the rest of the market. Campbell Soup rose 1.3%.
Higher interest rates tend to weigh on stocks, especially the pricier technology sector. Technology stocks within the S&P 500 are down more than 26% for the year and communications companies have shed more than 34%. They are the worst performing sectors within the benchmark index so far this year.
The housing sector is also hurting as interest rates rise. Average long-term U.S. mortgage rates climbed above 6% this week for the first time since the housing crash of 2008. The higher rates could make an already tight housing market even more expensive for homebuyers.
Reports this week from the government showed that prices for just about everything but gas are still rising, the job market is still red-hot and consumers continue to spend, all of which give ammunition to Fed officials who say the economy can tolerate more rate hikes.
In other trading Monday, U.S. benchmark crude gained 58 cents to $85.69 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. It edged up 1 cent to $85.11 per barrel.
Brent crude oil rose 72 cents to $92.07 per barrel.
The dollar strengthened to 143.14 Japanese yen from 142.94 yen. The euro slipped to 99.98 cents from $1.0014.

“Care2Cure” Car Show raises money for Huntington’s disease
LAWTON, Okla. (KSWO) - Trucks, cars, motorcycles and more were on display this weekend, as officials concluded the 11th annual “Care2Cure” Indoor Car, Truck, and Bike show.
The show helps to support the Lawton Area Huntington’s Disease support group, as they continue to spread awareness and education about Huntington’s Disease.
The founder of “Care2Cure”, Kathy Timberlake, started the show back in 2011 after losing both her son and daughter to Huntington’s disease.
On Sunday, officials handed out over 40 awards for specialty cars, trucks, and bikes in the Expo building at the Comanche County Fairgrounds.
The show included vendors, food trucks, raffles, a live auction and more, with $500 to the best truck and car.

Asian shares fell Monday after another week of sizable losses on Wall Street, as investors braced for another interest rate hike by the U.S. Federal Reserve.
Japan’s markets were closed for a holiday. Oil prices rose while U.S. futures declined.
On Friday, a stark warning Friday from FedEx about rapidly worsening trends in the economy gave investors more to worry about. The S&P 500 fell 0.7%, while the Nasdaq lost almost 1%. The Dow lost almost half a percent.
Markets have been on edge because of stubbornly high inflation and the increases in interest rates being used to fight it. The fear is that the Fed and other central banks might overshoot their policy targets, triggering a recession.
Most economists forecast that the Fed will jack up its primary lending rate another three-quarters of a point when the central bank’s leaders meet this week.
“Fact is, hawkish expectations built on the ‘hot under the hood' U.S. inflation print means that markets have good reason to be braced for headwinds amid prospects of higher (for longer) rates; and arguably “higher for longer” USD (dollar) as well," Vishnu Varathan of Mizuho Bank said in a commentary.
The S&P 500 sank 4.8% for the week, with much of the loss coming from a 4.3% rout on Tuesday following a surprisingly hot report on inflation.
All the major indexes have now posted losses four out of the past five weeks.
In Asia on Monday, Hong Kong's Hang Seng lost 0.9% to 18,586.47 while the Shanghai Composite index shed 0.3% to 3,115.87. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 edged 0.1% lower, to 6,731.80. In Seoul, the Kospi sank 1% to 2,360.22.
Japan's central bank meets Wednesday and Thursday amid rising pressure to counter a sharp decline in the yen, which is trading near 145 to the dollar after sharp increases in the value of the greenback. That has raised costs for businesses and consumers, who must pay more for imports of oil, gas and other necessities.
However the Bank of Japan has held firm so far in maintaining an ultralow benchmark rate of minus 0.1% in hopes of stimulating investment and spending.
FedEx sank 21.4% for its biggest single-day sell-off on record Frday after warning investors that profits for its fiscal first-quarter will likely fall short of forecasts because of a drop-off in business. The package delivery service is also shuttering storefronts and corporate offices and expects business conditions to further weaken.
The S&P 500 fell 0.7% to 3,873.33. It’s now down 18.7% so far this year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 0.5% to 30,822.42 and the Nasdaq slid 0.9% to 11,448.40.
Makers of household goods, which are typically considered less risky investments, held up better than the rest of the market. Campbell Soup rose 1.3%.
Higher interest rates tend to weigh on stocks, especially the pricier technology sector. Technology stocks within the S&P 500 are down more than 26% for the year and communications companies have shed more than 34%. They are the worst performing sectors within the benchmark index so far this year.
The housing sector is also hurting as interest rates rise. Average long-term U.S. mortgage rates climbed above 6% this week for the first time since the housing crash of 2008. The higher rates could make an already tight housing market even more expensive for homebuyers.
Reports this week from the government showed that prices for just about everything but gas are still rising, the job market is still red-hot and consumers continue to spend, all of which give ammunition to Fed officials who say the economy can tolerate more rate hikes.
In other trading Monday, U.S. benchmark crude gained 58 cents to $85.69 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. It edged up 1 cent to $85.11 per barrel.
Brent crude oil rose 72 cents to $92.07 per barrel.
The dollar strengthened to 143.14 Japanese yen from 142.94 yen. The euro slipped to 99.98 cents from $1.0014.

Royal funerals: pomp, pageantry and sometimes privacy
Issued on: Modified:
London (AFP) – Funerals for senior royals since World War II have tended to be very public affairs, with pomp, pageantry and popular fervour.
Queen Elizabeth II's on Monday will be no exception.
1952: King George VI
On February 6, 1952, King George VI died suddenly after a long illness at the age of 56.
At his funeral on February 15, his coffin was carried to Paddington station in west London on a gun carriage from Westminster Hall at the Palace of Westminster, where he lay in state, to St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle.
A silent crowd lined the route along London's foggy streets during the three-hour procession. His eldest daughter, who at the age of 25 had become Queen Elizabeth II, followed in a horse-drawn coach.
A year later on March 24, George's mother, the dowager Queen Mary, died aged 85. Over two days, 120,000 people paid homage at Westminster.
1979: Lord Mountbatten
On August 27, 1979, Louis Mountbatten, the queen's cousin and last viceroy of India, was killed at the age of 79, by an Irish Republican Army bomb placed on his boat.
The assassination rocked the United Kingdom. Mountbatten was a decorated naval commander, uncle of Queen Elizabeth II's husband, Prince Philip, and mentor of the couple's eldest son and heir, Prince Charles.
On September 5, hundreds of thousands of people gathered in London along with representatives of the British armed forces, US Marines, and French, Canadian, Indian and Burmese soldiers to pay him a solemn farewell.
An escort of six tanks took the coffin from Westminster Abbey to Waterloo station where it was transported to Romsey, near Southampton, southern England, for burial at the town's abbey.
1997: Princess Diana
On September 6, 1997, the country came to a standstill for the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales, who died in Paris on August 31 in a car crash aged 36.
Her death sent shockwaves around the world. Millions of people lined the streets and an estimated 2.5 billion viewers watched the service on television.
When the procession passed Buckingham Palace, Queen Elizabeth II, who had been criticised for her stand-offish initial reaction to the death of the former wife of Prince Charles, publicly bowed her head.
#photo1The couple's two young sons, princes William and Harry, walked, heads bowed, behind their mother's coffin. Diana was buried at Althorp, her family's historic home in Northamptonshire, on an island in the middle of a lake.
2002: Princess Margaret
Led by Queen Elizabeth II's frail 101-year-old mother, also called Elizabeth, the royal family on February 15, 2002, laid to rest the monarch's younger sister Princess Margaret, who had died six days earlier aged 71 after a series of strokes.
The private funeral was attended by about 450 family and friends, including 30 or so members of the royal family such as the queen, Margaret's ex-husband Lord Snowdon, and her two children Viscount Linley and Lady Sarah Chatto.
#photo2Despite concerns over her own health, the Queen Mother attended the service at St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle.
It was exactly 50 years since she had buried her husband, King George VI. In a break with royal tradition, Margaret was cremated.
2002: The Queen Mother
Just seven weeks after Margaret, the Queen Mother, Queen Elizabeth, died in her sleep on March 30 at Windsor. Her funeral on April 9 marked the end of an era.
The royal matriarch was the last empress consort of India and a link to a bygone age. She was much loved as a symbol of resistance to the Nazi enemy during World War II.
#photo3Over four days, more than 200,000 people filed past her coffin paying their respects. Her funeral at Westminster Abbey was attended by 2,000 people.
More than a million people lined the 37-kilometre (23-mile) route taken by the funeral procession to Windsor, where she was interred with her husband at the King George VI memorial chapel, and alongside Margaret's ashes.
#photo42021: Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh
Queen Elizabeth II's husband of 73 years died on April 9, 2021, just a few months shy of his 100th birthday and after a lengthy stay in hospital for a heart condition.
Coronavirus restrictions limited his funeral on April 18 to just 30 people, with social distancing, face masks -- and no public crowds.
#photo5The duke's coffin was borne to St George's Chapel on a specially adapted Land Rover he had designed himself.
His remains were interred in the Royal Vault at Windsor, with instructions to be transferred on his wife's death to the King George VI memorial chapel.

Lea Fitzpatrick was an educator, a valued member of her community and family and most of all a beloved mom and wife. To honor her memory and her brave fight against breast cancer, each year her Berlin, NJ community and her family organize a 5K. It means a lot to the community I live in and to the people that knew Lea well. The Fitzpatrick’s are the best and I try and never miss this run.
Speaking of injury, that’s my personal connection to Lea. We had a million common friends but I met her at physical therapy. I was there for my ankle, she was there to gain strength after one of her chemo rounds. We were fast friends and she kicked ass. We always talked about story ideas and I am always sorry I never got to do some of the ones we spoke of. That’s why this run and her memory mean so much to me.
50% of the proceeds will be donated to METAvivor* and 50% of the proceeds will be used to fund local scholarships in Lea’s memory. Make a donation today in the name of someone you love, or consider planned giving and legacy gifts that will support our cause and save the lives of future. https://www.metavivor.org/take-action/.

Former Seaman QB Dalton Cowan hangs up his cleats at Emporia State
EMPORIA, Kan. (WIBW) - Former Seaman quarterback turned Emporia State QB/S-Back Dalton Cowan announced he’s decided to retire from football after suffering from his second concussion.
“Coming to that decision was, it was brutal. It was terrible,” said Cowan. “Because you know, I gotta see my brothers, guys I’ve been here 5 and a half years with, and I worked my butt off to get back to them.”
The most recent concussion happened in August on the first day of full pads in Emporia State’s training camp. Among his symptoms, Cowan was suffering from memory loss, and knew it wasn’t a good sign after having been down this road before.
”I probably knew then, that that was it. I knew one more, and especially it happening that fast, that it wasn’t a good sign,” Cowan said.
By no means is his time with the Hornets done. Dalton is sticking around to help out as a coach, as much as his ongoing concussion will allow. It’s been five weeks and he’s still feeling the effects.
“There’s nowhere I’d rather be than at a practice right now. Unfortunately with a concussion, the best thing you can do is do nothing, and it’s a completely helpless feeling,” said Cowan. “Last night watching the game, it was awesome. I’m happy for my guys, and then at the end of the game I just like, got the worst FOMO [fear of missing out] ever.”
Though he’s not ready to be back in the gameday atmosphere just yet, he’s been helping out with the S-backs and running backs. He’s also been helping create the team’s pregame hype videos. He says he wants to
“I’m just gonna try to spend as much time as I can helping guys. Whether that’s film study, trying to mentor, whatever. It’s just trying to do everything I can do help,” Cowan said.
When he announced his retirement, Dalton said the response he got from his team and the Topeka community was unbelievable. Even players from Washburn and Pittsburgh State reached out to him.
“You put in 5 and a half years and you kinda forget the impact you make on guys,” Cowan said. “Of the impact I made and of my time here, 5% of that is probably what I did on the field. And that’s what I’m missing, but that’s not what I’m missing the most. It’s the guys, and just to know that goes so far beyond football meant a lot for me. Just gotta keep trying to pay it forward.”

NEW YORK (AP) — The buck isn’t stopping.
The value of the U.S. dollar has been on a tear for more than a year against everything from the British pound across the Atlantic to the South Korean won across the Pacific.
After rising again Friday, the dollar is near its highest level in more than two decades against a key index measuring six major currencies, including the euro and Japanese yen. Many professional investors don’t expect it to ease off anytime soon.
The dollar’s rise affects nearly everyone, even those who will never leave the U.S. borders. Here’s a look at what’s driving the U.S. dollar higher and what it can mean for investors and households:
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO SAY THE DOLLAR IS STRONGER?
Essentially that one dollar can buy more of another currency than it could before.
Consider the Japanese yen. A year ago, $1 could get a little less than 110 yen. Now, it can buy 143. That’s about 30% more and one of the biggest moves the U.S. dollar has made against another currency.
Foreign currency values are constantly shifting against each other as banks, businesses and traders buy and sell them in time zones around the world.
The U.S. Dollar index, which measures the dollar against the euro, yen and other major currencies, has climbed more than 14% this year. The gain looks even more impressive compared against other investments, most of which have had a dismal year. U.S. stocks are down more than 19%, bitcoin has more than halved and gold has lost more than 7%.
WHY IS THE DOLLAR STRENGTHENING?
Because the U.S. economy is doing better than others.
Even though inflation is high, the U.S. job market has remained remarkably solid. And other areas of the economy, such as the services sector, have been resilient.
That’s helped offset worries about a slowing housing industry and other parts of the economy that do best when interest rates are low. That in turn has traders expecting the Federal Reserve to follow through on its promise to keep hiking interest rates sharply, and to hold them there a while, in hopes of knocking down the worst inflation in 40 years.
Such expectations have helped the yield of a 10-year Treasury more than double to 3.44% from roughly 1.33% a year ago.
WHO CARES ABOUT BOND YIELDS?
Investors who want to make more income off their money. And those juicier U.S. yields are drawing investors from all over the world.
Other central banks have been less aggressive than the Fed because their economies seem to be more fragile. The European Central Bank just raised its key rate by the largest amount ever, three-quarters of a percentage point. But the Fed has already raised its key rate by that amount twice this year, with a third expected this upcoming week. Some traders even say a gargantuan hike of a full percentage point could be possible, following a hotter-than-expected report on U.S. inflation Tuesday.
Partly because of that less aggressive bent, 10-year bonds across Europe and other areas of the world offer much lower yields than U.S. Treasurys, such as Germany’s 1.75% and Japan’s 0.25%. When investors from Asia and Europe buy Treasurys, they have to trade their own currencies for U.S. dollars. That pushes up the dollar’s value.
A STRONG DOLLAR HELPS U.S. TOURISTS, RIGHT?
Yes. U.S. travelers in Tokyo spending 10,000 yen on dinner will be using 23% fewer dollars than a year ago for the same-priced meal.
With the dollar up sharply so far this year against everything from the Argentine peso to the Egyptian pound to the South Korean won, the dollar is going further in many countries than before.
DOES IT HELP ONLY RICH PEOPLE WHO CAN AFFORD TO TRAVEL ABROAD?
No. A stronger dollar also helps U.S. shoppers by keeping a lid on prices for imports and pushing downward on inflation.
When the dollar is rising against the euro, for example, European companies make more euros on each $1 of sales. With that cushion, they could cut the dollar price for their products and still make the same amount of euros. They could also leave the price in dollars alone and pocket the extra euros, or they could find some balance of the two.
Prices for imports fell 1% in August from a month earlier, following July’s 1.5% drop, offering some relief amid the nation’s high inflation. Prices for imported fruits, nuts and some peels dropped 8.7%, for example. They’re down 3% from a year earlier.
A stronger dollar can keep prices in check for commodities generally. That’s because oil, gold and others are bought and sold in U.S. dollars around the world. When the dollar rises against the yen, a Japanese buyer can get fewer barrels of crude for the same number of yen as before. That can mean less upward pressure on oil prices.
SO THERE ARE ONLY WINNERS FROM A STRONG DOLLAR?
No. U.S. companies that sell abroad are seeing their profits get squeezed.
At McDonald’s, revenue fell 3% during the summer from a year earlier. But if the dollar’s value had simply stayed put against other currencies, the company’s revenue would have been 3% higher. Microsoft, meanwhile, said changes in foreign-currency values sliced $595 million off its revenue in the latest quarter.
A string of other companies have given similar warnings recently, and further gains for the dollar could add more pressure on profits. Companies in the S&P 500 index get roughly 40% of their revenue from outside the United States, according to FactSet.
ANY OTHER COLLATERAL DAMAGE?
A strong dollar can put a financial squeeze across the developing world. Many companies and governments in such emerging markets borrow money in U.S.-dollar terms, instead of in their own currencies. When they must repay their debts in U.S. dollars, while their own currencies buy fewer dollars by the day, it can create lots of stress.
WHERE’S THE DOLLAR HEADING FROM HERE?
The dollar’s biggest moves may be behind it, but many professionals expect the dollar to at least stay this high a while.
Tuesday’s report on U.S. inflation shocked the market and showed it remains more stubborn than expected. That has traders upping bets for Fed rate hikes going into next year. Fed officials have been busy recently reaffirming their commitment to keeping rates high “until the job is done” in breaking the nation’s high inflation, even if it damages economic growth.
That bias toward still-higher rates by the Fed should continue to offer support for the value of the U.S. dollar.
For the dollar to weaken meaningfully, strategists wrote in a BofA Global Research report, “the Fed has to get more concerned about growth than inflation — and we are not there yet.”

BERLIN — For Spain, almost all of the names on the national team's roster have changed in recent years.
The expectations didn't. And neither did the results.
Juancho Hernangomez of the Toronto Raptors scored 27 points, his brother Willy Hernangomez added 14 and won tournament MVP honors, and Spain topped France 88-76 on Sunday to win the EuroBasket gold medal.
See PBA seeks closer cooperation with B.League on player transfers
It was Spain's fourth European championship in its last six tries, all those golds coming under coach Sergio Scariolo.
"It's easy to say that we are extremely happy," Scariolo said. "We got into this championship in eighth place in the power ranking and we managed to climb, step by step. ... It's been amazing now to see we are above all those great teams."
Lorenzo Brown scored 14 points and had 11 assists for Spain, while Jaime Fernandez scored 13.
Evan Fournier led France — which also dropped the gold-medal game at the Tokyo Olympics to the US last summer — with 23 points, with Thomas Heurtel scored 16 and Guerschon Yabusele added 13.
Rudy Gobert of the Minnesota Timberwolves was held to only six points on just two shots from the field for France.
"Spain played better from start to finish," said Fournier, who plays with the New York Knicks. "They had a clear game plan and we did not execute ours well enough. ... We never really had control of the game. They just played better, man, period."
This was supposed to be a rebuilding summer for Spain. Pau and Marc Gasol, the longtime leaders of the program, retired from international following a quarterfinal loss to the US at the Tokyo Games. Sergio Gonzalez also decided last summer was the right time to walk away, after 16 years with the national team. Sergio Llull and Ricky Rubio, two more of veterans, couldn't play because of injuries.
The winning tradition simply continued anyway. Spain is now the reigning Basketball World Cup (won in China in 2019) along with EuroBasket champion. It has also medaled in 10 of its last 11 EuroBasket appearances.
"It's hard to explain with words how I feel," said Willy Hernangomez, who plays in the NBA for New Orleans. "I'm feeling extremely proud of my teammates, of my coaching staff, of all the Spanish federation from the top to the bottom. We much deserve this gold medal."
But this young team also had the exuberance of youth: As Scariolo and Willy Hernangomez were trying to hold a postgame news conference, the rest of Spain's roster crashed the session, armed with water bottles, and soaked the MVP and their coach.
"That's the dark side of having a young team," Scariolo said, as he happily dabbed at his face with a towel. "I don't see Pau Gasol throwing water around."
For France, it was another medal — and another instance of coming up a bit short of the shiniest medal. France's last major crown came in winning EuroBasket in 2013. Since then, the French have won two bronzes at the World Cup (2014, 2019), a bronze at EuroBasket (2015), silver at the Tokyo Olympics, and now, silver again.
The difference was clear: Spain held a massive 35-7 edge in points off turnovers.
"Today, obviously, we have lost the gold," France coach Vincent Collet said. "They executed their plan perfect."
Juancho Hernangomez was 6-for-6 from 3-point range in a six-minute span of the second quarter, helping Spain extend what was a 23-14 lead into a 45-26 edge with just about 3 minutes left in the half.
It was perhaps a mildly unlikely source for a 3-point barrage. He had made a total of 12 3's in his eight previous games in this year's EuroBasket tournament, and his high in any NBA game is six.
"We needed him today and he was there for us," Willy Hernangomez said.
An 11-0 run helped France cut what had been a 21-point deficit to just 47-37 at the half — and the momentum carried into the third quarter.
Yabusele's jumper with 6:52 left in the third got France within 49-46, and everything seemed to be shifting.
But Spain held on. Juancho Hernangomez's seventh 3-pointer with 7:29 left made it a 71-61 game, and the outcome wasn't in doubt again.
"I cannot be happier as a basketball coach," Scariolo said.
BRONZE MEDAL
GERMANY 82, POLAND 69
In the bronze-medal matchup earlier Sunday, Dennis Schroder of the Los Angeles Lakers scored 26 points and host Germany held off Poland.
It was Germany's first EuroBasket medal since winning silver in 2005. Poland matched its best finish in the event since 1971.
"They told me it's 17 years since Germany won a medal," Germany coach Gordie Herbert said. "It's kind of fitting that Dennis Schroder's number is 17. It's been an unbelievable honor to coach these guys from Day 1."
Johannes Voigtmann scored 14 for Germany.
"We worked hard for it," Schroder said. "It's an unbelievable feeling to come out third in the EuroBasket."
Michal Sokolowski led Poland with 18 points, with Jakub Garbacz scoring 12 and A.J. Slaughter finishing with 10 points and 10 assists.

Kai, RJ, SJ show support for Navarro
“… we got our own people stopping us from achieving greatness,” says Kai Sotto.
SEVERAL Gilas players seeing action abroad have expressed support for William Navarro, who is unable get a clearance from the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas to join the Seoul Thunders in the Korean Basketball League.
Kai Sotto, RJ Abarrientos and SJ Belangel have condemned the national basketball federation’s move preventing their teammate from joining the Korean pro league.
“… we got our own people stopping us from achieving greatness,” said Sotto.
"Always remember that we are still repping the Filipino Flag no matter where we play," said Belangel.
“You all should SUPPORT Filipino athletes who are playing abroad,” Abarrientos added.
The SBP said Navarro is under contract with Gilas until next year.
Navarro was picked by Northport second behind Jordan Heading in the special round of the PBA Season 46 Draft.
Heading went on to play in Taiwan and is now set to see action in Japan.
Cavitex bags 3x3 title
The Braves make it to the top.
CAVITEX scored its first title in the PBA 3x3 by edging out San Miguel Beer, 21-19, on Sunday at Robinsons Novaliches.
Bong Galanza scored eight and Jorey Napoles added seven as the Braves, also with Chester Saldua and Dominic Fajardo, bagged P100,000.

LONDON (AP) — American presidents usually make a splash when they travel abroad, holding the spotlight and quickly becoming the center of attention.
Not this time.
For U.S. President Joe Biden and other presidents, prime ministers and dignitaries, there were no red-carpet arrivals, no big speeches and no news conferences as they gathered for Monday's state funeral for Queen Elizabeth II. Instead, world leaders used to people hanging on their every word checked their egos in the service of honoring the queen, Britain's longest-serving monarch, who died earlier this month at age 96 after 70 years on the throne.
“They know that they are there to honor the passing, honor the individual,” said Capricia Marshall, who was the U.S. State Department's protocol chief for a period during Barack Obama's administration. “They also are aware that they're representing their country.”
The protocol office is a key player in U.S. foreign policy and diplomatic affairs by working to make sure that U.S. officials don't say or do anything that will offend a foreign visitor or host.
The president and first lady are among some 2,000 people attending the funeral at Westminster Abbey. They arrived late Saturday and were met at the airport by the U.S. ambassador and a few other officials. The couple paid respects to the queen on Sunday, viewing her coffin at Westminster Hall, signing condolence books at Lancaster House and attending a Buckingham Palace reception for funeral guests hosted by King Charles III.
But the president's public appearances in London have been limited and controlled, part of the choreography around the elaborate farewell to the only monarch most Brits have ever known. He spoke only for just a few minutes Sunday about the queen, as he recalled how the woman he said reminded him of his mother kept feeding him crumpets when they had tea together last year at Windsor Castle.
When Biden spoke to the BBC, the only outlet broadcasting live as he signed the condolence book, the network kept up a split screen with Sir David Manning, a former British ambassador to the U.S., and did not air Biden’s comments live.
Most other leaders in town have kept similarly low profiles, appearing so far only to sign the official book of condolence and silently pay respects beside the queen’s coffin in Westminster Hall.
A few have given interviews to share memories of Elizabeth, including New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who told the BBC about the advice the queen gave her on balancing work and motherhood: “I remember she just said, ‘Well, you just get on with it,’ and that was actually probably the best and most I think factual advice I could have."
Leaders like Ardern and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese have batted away questions about whether their countries are likely to become republics, saying now is not the time to discuss it. Both countries have the queen as their monarch.
An exception was Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro, who is running for reelection and delivered an open-air campaign speech Sunday outside his country's embassy in London. Bolsonaro, who trails former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in opinion polls, insisted to about 200 supporters that the polls were wrong and that he could avoid entering a runoff on Oct. 2.
Biden and new U.K. Prime Minister Liz Truss scrapped a weekend meeting, instead setting a full gathering at the U.N. General Assembly next week, and the White House didn't even announce news of the meeting until after British officials had.
One senior U.S. official said Biden's lower profile was less about protocol and more about the fact that “it's not our show. It's the Brits' show.”
“We have to be sensitive to that and I think that means a kind of a different perspective as it relates to our movements, our footprint, what we do, how we do it,” said the official, who was not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Peter Selfridge, another former U.S. official, said Biden is here “to grieve" and likely does not care that he has largely been out of the spotlight. Selfridge noted the president's history of personal loss, including the death of his first wife and infant daughter and, later, an adult son.
“As a matter of fact, that's probably the way he wants it,” said Selfridge, the U.S. chief of protocol during Obama's second term.
Then again, some people's wiring doesn't allow them to avoid making a beeline for the first camera they see, said Eric Dezenhall, a crisis management expert.
But Dezenhall said in an email that the “good news is that most American presidents ... understand that humility is called for at certain times."

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden says the discovery of top-secret documents at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate raised concerns that sensitive data was compromised and called it “irresponsible.”
Biden, who rarely does interviews, spoke to CBS’ “60 Minutes” in a segment that aired Sunday. He said that when he heard about classified documents taken from the White House, he wondered how “anyone could be that irresponsible.”
Biden added: “And I thought, what data was in there that may compromise sources and methods?”
The president said he did not get a heads-up before the Trump estate was searched, and he has not asked for any specifics “because I don’t want to get myself in the middle of whether or not the Justice Department should move or not move on certain actions they could take.”
The FBI says it took about 11,000 documents, including roughly 100 with classification markings found in a storage room and an office, while serving a court-authorized search warrant at the home on Aug. 8. Weeks after the search, Trump lawyers asked a judge to appoint a special master to conduct an independent review of the records.
The warrant says federal agents were investigating potential violations of three different federal laws, including one that governs gathering, transmitting or losing defense information under the Espionage Act.
Biden told “60 Minutes” that when he heard about classified documents being taken from the White House, he wondered how “anyone could be that irresponsible.”
“And I thought what data was in there that may compromise sources and methods?”
In the wide-ranging interview, the president wouldn’t commit to running for reelection in 2024, though he’s said in the past that he planned to.
“My intention, as I said to begin with, is that I would run again,” he said. “But it’s just an intention. But is it a firm decision that I run again? That remains to be seen.”
Biden was asked about growing concerns that Russia’s efforts to seize Ukraine could inspire China’s leader Xi Jinping to attack Taiwan. The island has been recognized by the U.S. as part of China but has its own democratic government. Xi and Russian President Vladimir Putin met last week.
Biden again said the U.S. forces would respond “if in fact there was an unprecedented attack.”
White House officials later said the official U.S. policy had not changed, and would not say whether American forces would be called to defend Taiwan. Biden has made the claim before, but the statements come at an increasingly tense time for U.S.-China relations, particularly after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s trip there last month.
Beijing sees official American contact with Taiwan as encouragement to make the island’s decades-old de facto independence permanent, a step Biden and other U.S. leaders say they don’t support.
The president said the U.S. commitment to Ukraine was “ironclad” and would remain so “as long as it takes.” Ukrainian troops are engaged in a counteroffensive that has reclaimed towns and cities from Russian troops. But the toll the war has taken is vast, and fresh atrocities are being revealed, including torture chambers and mass graves. Since January 2021, the U.S. has given more than $13.5 billion in security assistance to Ukraine.
In the same hour, “60 Minutes” also aired an interview with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, who will be speaking to the U.N. General Assembly in New York this coming week. Raisi echoed standard Iranian lines about the status of currently stalled nuclear talks with world powers. He said the United States is not trustworthy and demanded guarantees that the U.S. would not withdraw from a deal as President Donald Trump did in 2018.
Raisi said he had no plans to meet with Biden on the sidelines of the U.N. event as it would serve no purpose, although he reiterated that Iran is willing to discuss prisoner exchanges with the United States. He also defended his country’s anti-Israel stance and said Tehran was committed to pursuing “justice” for the Trump administration’s assassination of a top Iranian military commander.

The Viola Davis-led action epic “ The Woman King ” easily conquered the North American box office in its first weekend in theaters, against a crowded market of new releases. The film, directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood, surpassed expectations and earned $19 million in ticket sales, according to estimates from Sony on Sunday.
“The Woman King” was released by Sony and TriStar in 3,765 locations and carries a reported production budget of $50 million, which was co-financed by eOne. The film, about the Agojie, the all-female army of the Kingdom of Dahomey in West Africa in the 1800s, got glowing reviews after its debut at the Toronto Film Festival. It currently boasts a 94% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. And theatrical audiences seem just as enthusiastic, giving it a rare A+ CinemaScore suggesting that word of mouth will be strong in the coming weeks.
“This one has great reviews, an epic story and a great star in the lead role,” said Paul Dergarabedian, Comscore’s senior media analyst. “People want to go to the movie theater and audiences are back in the habit of expecting new movies in theaters.”
The horror movie “Barbarian,” a 20th Century Studios release, took second place in its second weekend with $6.3 million.
It was a jam-packed week for new releases at the domestic box office that included the A24 horror prequel “ Pearl,” Searchlight’s starry mystery pic “ See How They Run,” NEON’s David Bowie documentary “ Moonage Daydream,” Paramount and Miramax’s “Confess, Fletch,” with Jon Hamm, and Focus Features’ “The Silent Twins.” But even though most boasted good reviews, it was still a slower week for the business overall.
“See How They Run,” a 1950s-set murder mystery with Saoirse Ronan and Sam Rockwell, is estimating a $3.1 million domestic debut from 2,404 locations.
Ti West’s “Pearl” also took in estimated $3.1 million. A24 released the film starring Mia Goth as a farmgirl who dreams of movie stardom on 2,935 screens. The first film “X” opened $4.3 million in March and the studio has already greenlit a third film, “MaXXXine.”
Brett Morgen’s Bowie documentary “Moonage Daydream,” meanwhile, debuted exclusively on IMAX screens this weekend, where it made $1.2 million in North America and landed in 10th place.
“This may not be a blockbuster-filled corridor, but this is a great weekend,” said Dergarabedian. “There’s all this talk of the post summer doldrums or slowdown, but there’s a lot of new movies out there. You just have to look for the gems.”
Next week will see the release of Olivia Wilde’s much-discussed “Don’t Worry Darling,” which could give a boost to the box office. But blockbuster numbers likely won’t return until October and even November when the superhero movies return with “Black Adam” and “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.”
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.
1. “The Woman King,” $19 million.
2. “Barbarian,” $6.3 million.
3. “Pearl,” $3.1 million.
4. “See How They Run,” $3.1 million.
5. “Bullet Train,” $2.5 million.
6. “Top Gun: Maverick,”$2.2 million.
7. “DC League of Super Pets,” $2.2 million.
8. “The Invitation,” $1.7 million.
9. “Minions: The Rise of Gru,” $1.3 million.
10. “Moonage Daydream,” $1.2 million.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy promised his country there would be no letup in the counteroffensive that has reclaimed towns and cities from Russian troops, as shelling continued Sunday across a wide stretch of Ukraine.
Zelenskyy ran through a list of towns that Ukraine has taken back in its lightning push across the northeast.
“Maybe now it seems to some of you that after a series of victories we have a certain lull,” he said in his nightly video address. “But this is not a lull. This is preparation for the next series… Because Ukraine must be free — all of it.”
Ukraine’s military command said its forces secured the eastern bank of the Oskil River on Saturday. The river, which flows south from Russia into Ukraine, had been a natural break in the newly emerged front lines since Kyiv’s counteroffensive began.
As Russian shells hit towns and cities over the weekend, the British defense ministry warned that Moscow is likely to increase attacks on civilian targets as it suffers battlefield defeats.
“In the last seven days, Russia has increased its targeting of civilian infrastructure even where it probably perceives no immediate military effect,” the ministry said in an online briefing. “As it faces setbacks on the front lines, Russia has likely extended the locations it is prepared to strike in an attempt to directly undermine the morale of the Ukrainian people and government.”
Russian fire killed four medics attempting to evacuate a psychiatric hospital in the Kharkiv region on Saturday, said governor Oleh Syniehubov. Two patients were wounded in the attack in Strelecha, he said.
Overnight shelling also hit a hospital in Mykolaiv, a significant Black Sea port, regional governor Vitaliy Kim said. And five people had died over the past day in Russian attacks in the Donetsk region, one of two Ukrainian regions that Russia recognizes as sovereign states, governor Pavlo Kyrylenko said.
The separatist forces that control much of Donetsk said Ukrainian shelling of a prisoner-of-war colony in Olenivka killed one prisoner and injured four. More than 50 POWs were reported killed in a July attack on the Olenivka prison; Russian and Ukrainian authorities blame each other.
A Washington-based think tank, the Institute for the Study of War, said Russian forces in Donetsk continue to conduct “meaningless operations” on villages as opposed to reinforcing the front line.
A top Vatican envoy and his entourage came under fire as they were distributing humanitarian supplies in Ukraine, the Vatican news service said on Sunday. It reported no injuries.
The incident took place near the city of Zaporizhzhia on Saturday, and forced Vatican Almoner Cardinal Konrad Krajewski and others to take cover.
“For the first time in my life, I didn’t know where to run. Because it is not enough to run, you have to know where to go,” said the Polish-born cardinal, whose office makes charitable contributions in the pope’s name.
Three people were wounded in nighttime shelling of Nikopol, across the river from Europe’s largest nuclear power station, said regional governor Valentyn Reznichenko. The six-reactor Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant was captured by Russian forces in March, but is operated by Ukrainian engineers. Its last reactor was switched off a week ago after repeated power failures because shelling put crucial safety systems at risk.
Meanwhile, prosecutors in Kharkiv are accusing Russia of torturing civilians in one village that was recently freed. In an online statement, they said they found a basement where Russian forces allegedly tortured prisoners in Kozacha Lopan, near the border with Russia.
In images they released, they showed a Russian military TA-57 telephone with additional wires and alligator clips attached to it. Ukrainian officials have accused Russian forces of using the Soviet-era radio telephones as a power source to shock prisoners during interrogation. It was not immediately possible to verify the Ukrainians’ claims.

Trial to start for sailor accused of igniting Navy warship
SAN DIEGO (AP) - According to prosecutors, Ryan Sawyer Mays was a young, arrogant sailor angry about being assigned to deck duty after failing to become a Navy SEAL - and he made the Navy pay in a big way.
But the prosecution has presented no physical evidence proving that Mays, 21, set the USS Bonhomme Richard on fire, a fact defense lawyers plan to highlight at the sailor's court martial that is scheduled to start Monday at Naval Base San Diego.
The July 2020 blaze burned for nearly five days and sent an acrid smoke over San Diego, damaging the amphibious assault ship so badly that it had to be scuttled. It marked one of the worst noncombat warship disasters in recent memory.
Mays is charged with aggravated arson and the willful hazarding of a vessel. He has denied any wrongdoing.
Gary Barthel, a civilian lawyer who represented Mays at a preliminary hearing to determine if there was probable cause to send the case to trial, said the Navy judge overseeing that process recommended the case not go to court martial. But Vice Adm. Steve Koehler, the former commander of the San Diego-based U.S. 3rd Fleet, who had the final say, ordered the court martial.
Barthel said the Navy's case relies largely on the account of a fellow sailor who has acknowledged changing it repeatedly. He said investigators brushed aside the fact that lithium batteries were stored next to highly combustible material such as cardboard boxes, in violation of ship protocol.

Barthel said he offered his services pro bono because he thought Mays would not be court martialed, but he does not have time with his full-time practice to continue to represent the sailor, who is using military counsel. Still, he said he is speaking out because the Navy case is unjust.
"I think there´s some real questions as to whether or not the fire was an arson," Barthel said. "And if it were deemed an arson, there are questions about whether Ryan Mays started this fire."
The prosecution´s witness, Petty Officer 3rd Class Kenji Velasco, blamed his nervousness for the changes to his story and said during the preliminary hearing that he was now "100 percent" sure that he saw Mays descend to the ship´s lower vehicle storage area on the day of the fire.
Neither military defense counsel nor the prosecution could be reached for comment.
Barthel believes the Navy is using Mays as a scapegoat rather than admit it was solely the mismanagement by senior officers that led to the loss of the billion-dollar vessel, or acknowledge that they pinned the blame on the wrong guy.
While investigators said Mays set the fire, a Navy report last year concluded that the inferno was preventable and unacceptable, and that there were lapses in training, coordination, communications, fire preparedness, equipment maintenance and overall command and control.
Navy leaders disciplined more than 20 senior officers and sailors in connection with what it described as widespread leadership failures that contributed to the disaster. The Navy spread blame across a wide range of ranks and responsibilities and directly faulted the ship´s three top officers.
The ship was undergoing a two-year, $250 million upgrade pierside in San Diego when the fire broke out. About 115 sailors were on board, and nearly 60 were treated for heat exhaustion, smoke inhalation and minor injuries. The failure to extinguish or contain the fire led to temperatures exceeding 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit in some areas, melting sections of the ship into molten metal that flowed into other parts of the ship.
Retired Navy Capt. Lawrence B. Brennan, an adjunct professor at Admiralty and International Maritime Law Fordham Law School, said the prosecution has its work cut out for it.
"There are questions about identification of the people in the vicinity of the fire and possible causes other than arson," he said in an email to The Associated Press. "Moreover, the conflagration and firefighting efforts damaged, if not destroyed, the crime scene and crucial evidence."
The court martial is scheduled to last two weeks.

The "Exponential Roadmap for Natural Climate Solutions" pinpoints actions needed to turn land sector from 12 Gt greenhouse gas source today into 10 Gt carbon sink by 2050
ARLINGTON, Va., Sept. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- To avoid catastrophic climate change, the land sector – including agriculture, forestry and natural land protection and restoration – must reach net zero emissions by 2030, according to new research from Conservation International.
The research is part of a new report, "The Exponential Roadmap for Natural Climate Solutions," released by Conservation International and partners Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, WWF, and the Exponential Roadmap Initiative and that lays out a new benchmark: the "Carbon Law for Nature." Rooted in the latest climate science, this benchmark states that everyone with a land sector footprint – particularly companies, banks and governments – must reach net zero emissions by 2030 and collectively achieve a 10 gigaton (Gt) carbon sink by 2050 across that footprint.
Currently, the balance of greenhouse gas emissions and carbon sinks from the land sector emits a net total of about 12 Gt of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere each year that must decrease – then reverse – by 2050.
"If you aren't on this trajectory, then you aren't doing your part to keep climate warming as close to 1.5°C as possible," said Michael Wolosin, managing director of the Natural Climate Solutions Roadmap at Conservation International.
Meeting this benchmark is well within reach. Soils and plants could sequester much more carbon than they already do, helping to close the massive gap between global carbon emissions and storage.
Improved agricultural and forestry practices, the report states, present significant opportunities for absorbing climate-warming carbon out of the atmosphere while at the same time supporting local economies by offering sustainable livelihoods. Notably, the report details a timeline for who, how and where is best suited to maximize the potential of these "natural climate solutions" – that is, nature-based initiatives that better protect, manage and restore natural and working lands.
"To keep the 'safe' climate limit of 1.5°C warming within reach, we need major investments in natural climate solutions – in addition to rapidly phasing out coal, oil and gas," said Johan Rockström, Conservation International chief scientist and director of the Potsdam Institute. "Even if energy and industry meet their climate mitigation targets, without urgent action in the land sector we will not be able to limit warming. These solutions aren't reliant on hypothetical technologies or risky geoengineering. In most cases, it's about rapidly scaling practices that have been known for centuries."
Bolstering land protection, restoration and management efforts by changing the way the world grows and consumes food is essential, the report finds. About 80% of the climate mitigation opportunity from the land sector in the next decade will depend on transforming agriculture, diets and food waste. Protecting healthy ecosystems and avoiding deforestation from agricultural expansion is especially important; these efforts represent 30% of the 2030 natural climate solution mitigation opportunity.
That 80% also includes improving agriculture practices on existing farms by cover cropping, reducing tillage and implementing smart agroforestry practices such as planting trees along edges of pastures and commercially harvested areas. Finally, it includes reforestation that will not be spatially possible without sustainably using existing working lands, which means limiting food waste and transitioning to healthier diets.
"Food system transformation is at the heart of climate action. Nearly 80% of natural climate solutions necessary to achieve a 1.5°C future are closely linked to food systems and we must urgently work to put food on the table of both international and national agendas," said Brent Loken, global food lead scientist at WWF. "But given that food systems vary dramatically between countries, the strategies and policies needed to shift to a more sustainable food future must also differ between countries."
"Leveraging natural processes that pair traditional knowledge with modern science can improve growing conditions, soil fertility and help control weeds and pests," said Starry Sprenkle-Hyppolite, Conservation International restoration science director. "There are proven ways to simultaneously maintain vital food yields and practice climate-friendly agriculture."
The report finds that improved management of agricultural land through the action of farmers and ranchers, supported by governments, businesses and the finance sector, can achieve more than 5 Gt of total carbon sequestration by 2030 – 90% of which is newly removed from the atmosphere; 10% is reduced emissions of methane and nitrous oxide annually. These actions include:
- Climate-smart grazing practices such as adding trees to grazing lands can provide 1.9 Gt of emissions mitigation and improve animal health and economic opportunities for livestock mangers.
- Changes in soil management using regenerative practices like cover cropping, reducing tillage and mulching crop residues can add up to enormous carbon sequestration if achieved at scale, creating more than 2.5 Gt in carbon sinks globally by 2030 in regions with modern industrial agriculture such as North America, Europe, China and India.
- An additional 2.5 Gt mitigation opportunity by 2050 is possible if 50% of the world's population chooses a healthy and sustainable diet – which means shifting diets in richer countries toward plant-based foods – while also cutting food loss and waste in half.
Additional highlights from the report:
- Indigenous land rights are essential to land stewardship. Expanding resources and legal recognition of Indigenous peoples and local communities could reduce nearly 1 Gt of annual emissions by 2025 and nearly 2 Gt by 2050.
- Expanding and creating "climate-critical" protected areas that contain much of the world's at-risk "Irrecoverable Carbon" – particularly in the Amazon, Congo Basin and Malay Archipelago – would add another 1 Gt of mitigation per year by 2030.
- Climate-smart forestry practices hold huge potential, especially for Brazil, Suriname, Gabon, Indonesia and the United States. Globally, climate-smart forestry could produce nearly 2 Gt of mitigation per year by 2030 on 1.3 billion hectares (65%) of the world's timber-producing natural forests.
- Southeast Asia, parts of Eurasia, Brazil, the United States, Canada, Indonesia and India are well positioned to apply restoration solutions – leading a global effort to restore 15 million hectares of peatlands by 2030 and up to 350 million hectares of forests and wetlands by 2050, delivering nearly 5 Gt of reductions annually.
"In the hierarchy of natural climate solutions protection is still a top priority, but it must be paired with other strategies," said Bronson Griscom, a report contributing author and vice president of natural climate solutions at Conservation International. "For consumers in industrialized countries that means healthier diets. For farmers and foresters that means adopting advanced practices, with new financial support. And for Indigenous peoples it means justice, more rights and resources. These efforts all have one thing in common: For all of us they mean regreening the planet."

TCT 2022: SYMPLICITY HTN-3 trial data show sustained long-term blood pressure reductions with Medtronic renal denervation procedure
- Long-term analysis from landmark renal denervation trial presented as Late Breaking Clinical Science, published simultaneously in The Lancet
- Data add to growing body of evidence supporting the durability of the Symplicity blood pressure procedure
DUBLIN and BOSTON, Sept. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Medtronic plc (NYSE: MDT), a global leader in healthcare technology, today announced long-term results from the SYMPLICITY HTN-3 clinical trial. Subjects who underwent radiofrequency renal denervation (RF RDN) with the first generation Symplicity™ renal denervation system, had a statistically significant reduction in office and ambulatory blood pressure compared to subjects in the sham control group. The data were presented today as Late-Breaking Clinical Science at the 34th Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) conference, the annual scientific symposium of the Cardiovascular Research Foundation, and published simultaneously in The Lancet.
"In this long-term follow-up from the SYMPLICITY HTN-3 trial, we observed significant reductions in the blood pressures of patients who underwent treatment with renal denervation, with no long-term complications emerging from this minimally invasive procedure," said Deepak L. Bhatt, M.D., M.P.H., executive director of Interventional Cardiovascular Programs at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School; and co-principal investigator for the SYMPLICITY HTN-3 trial. "These findings provide important insights into the evolution of patients' blood pressure control, with and without renal denervation, in a scenario more akin to the real-world setting— under everyday physician management without the frequent follow up visits and monitoring that occur in research settings. The results illustrate that for certain patients with high blood pressure, despite attempts to adhere to multiple medications and modify their lifestyles, their blood pressure remains poorly controlled, putting them at risk for cardiovascular complications such as stroke."
A total of 535 patients with treatment resistant hypertension were randomized 2:1 to RDN (n=364) vs. sham control (n=171). After six months, 101 patients in the sham control arm underwent treatment with RDN (crossover group). When conducting a longer-term analysis with all available data, and accounting for control crossover patients by using their last observation carried forward (imputation), the results through three years are as follows:
- 26.4 mm Hg reduction in office systolic blood pressure (OSBP) for the RDN group (n=219) versus a reduction of 5.7 mm Hg in OSBP for the sham control group (n=134; adjusted treatment difference: 22.1 mm Hg, p<0.0001).
- 15.6 mm Hg reduction in 24-hour ambulatory systolic blood pressure (ASBP) for the RDN group (n=152) and –a 0.3 mm Hg reduction in 24-hour ASBP for the sham control group (n=119); adjusted treatment difference: 16.5 mm Hg, p<0.0001).
- On average, 17.5% of RDN patients spent time in target range (TTR), a cumulative measure in which BP measures are estimated through time, vs. 8.2% TTR for sham patients (p<0.0001).
- Medtronic Symplicity Blood Pressure Procedure1 demonstrated long-term safety in line with expected outcomes for this patient population.2
In 2014, Medtronic announced that at six-months the HTN-3 trial met its primary safety endpoint but did not meet its primary or secondary efficacy endpoints due to multiple confounding factors, including the influence of medication changes, specific patient subgroups, and procedural factors. This latest analysis of the SYMPLICITY HTN-3 trial examined the long-term safety and efficacy of RDN in hypertensive patients who were on antihypertensive medications and received treatment with the Symplicity blood pressure procedure. This included patients from the sham control arm who crossed over to RDN after the initial six-month primary endpoint analysis.
"While we did not find a significant six-month blood pressure reduction difference in RDN versus sham in HTN-3, we felt that there was much to learn by following HTN-3 patients for a longer time period, particularly in those sham patients with sustained blood pressure elevations who 'crossed over' to RDN," said Jeffrey Popma, M.D., chief medical officer for the Coronary & Renal Denervation business and the Structural Heart & Aortic business, which are part of the Cardiovascular Portfolio at Medtronic. "Using standard imputation methods for BP comparison in cross-over patients, we were pleased to see a sustained benefit in three-year blood pressure reduction in HTN-3 patients treated with RDN. This study adds important, incremental information to the totality of evidence now supporting the long-term effect of RDN in patients with hypertension. Documentation of medication compliance and improvements made to the new Spyral catheter may have the potential to further influence clinical outcomes in patients enrolled in the SPYRAL portfolio of studies."
"Combined, with more than 7,000 patients published in clinical studies, we now have a greater understanding of patient behavior and RDN impacts over the long-term," said Jason Weidman, senior vice president and president of the Coronary & Renal Denervation business, which is part of the Cardiovascular Portfolio at Medtronic. "This analysis adds to the extensive long-term, sham-controlled evidence for the Symplicity blood pressure procedure that has consistently shown a positive impact for patients, both in the absence and presence of medications. We remain deeply committed to this adjunctive hypertension treatment option and look forward to data from additional studies, including the SPYRAL HTN-ON MED extension trial, which we plan to have at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions, subject to acceptance."
Approved for commercial use in more than 60 countries around the world, the Symplicity Spyral renal denervation system is limited to investigational use in the United States, Japan, and Canada.

Umesh Yadav returned to Team India's white-ball setup ahead of the three-match T20I series against Australia after a three-year gap. The Vidarbha-born pacer has had an eventful year in terms of performances following successful stints with the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Middlesex.
The right-arm pacer has had his fair share of injuries but has largely maintained his fitness to play all three formats of the game. Set to turn 35 in a month's time, he is arguably headed into the twilight of his career and is on the lookout to make the most of the chances on offer.
Claiming that he is not behind in terms of fitness when compared to the upcoming breed of fast bowlers, Yadav said in an interview with journalist Vimal Kumar:
"I like to think that I am pretty fit for someone my age and I am bowling well too. It feels good to be selected for the country, just looking forward to contributing whenever I get the chance."
Yadav's last T20I appearance for India came against Australia in 2019. He has only been able to rack up seven appearances in the shortest format since making his debut a decade ago.
"I knew that only practicing and not playing any matches won't amount to anything" - Umesh Yadav on his county stint with Middlesex
Umesh Yadav was roped in by Middlesex in July for the remainder of their county season. The veteran seamer made an instant impact after replacing Shaheen Afridi in the side.
The fast bowler represented the side in the county championship as well as the Royal London Cup. He showcased his white-ball skills, picking up 16 wickets in seven matches with best figures of 5-33 coming against Durham.
Noting that he got lucky with the offer from Middlesex to represent them, Yadav said:
"You could say that I was lucky, because not many matches were happening in India because of the rain, so got lucky with the Middlesex offer. I knew that only practicing and not playing any matches won't amount to anything.
"When you play, your body remains in that environment, your muscles stay loose and you are more agile. I was enjoying my county stint, the weather in England is good."
His form with the white ball coupled with his experience helped him earn a comeback to the national T20 side. He will be considered for selection in the upcoming three-match T20I series against Australia, beginning on Tuesday, September 20.
Should the veteran pacer have been recalled sooner into the white-ball unit? Let us know what you think.

Final farewell as millions expected to observe national silence for The Queen
Subscribe newsletter
Millions of people will pay their last respects to Queen Elizabeth II as her funeral is held at Westminster Abbey in London this morning.
A national two minutes’ silence will be held shortly before midday.
Heads of state, prime ministers and presidents from around the world, European royals and key figures from public life have been invited to the abbey, which can hold a congregation of 2,000.
The service, which starts at 11am, will be televised, and the national silence will follow the Last Post being sounded at 11.55am.
The Queen’s coffin will be taken in a grand military procession from the Palace of Westminster to Westminster Abbey before the funeral.
Senior members of the family are expected to follow behind – just like they did for the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales and the Duke of Edinburgh.
Members of the military will line the streets and also join the procession.
After the service, the Queen’s coffin will be taken from Westminster Abbey to Wellington Arch and then travel to Windsor.
Once there, the hearse will go to St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle via the Long Walk, after which a televised committal service will take place in St George’s Chapel.
Later in the evening, there will be a private interment service with senior members of the royal family.
The Queen’s final resting place will be the King George VI memorial chapel, an annex to the main chapel – where her mother and father were buried, along with the ashes of her sister, Princess Margaret.
The Duke of Edinburgh’s coffin will be moved from the Royal Vault to the memorial chapel to join the Queen’s.
BBC One will broadcast uninterrupted coverage of the funeral from 8am to 5pm, with ITV’s coverage starting at 9.30am. The programmes are expected to draw one of the largest TV audiences in history.

These stores will close by 10.30am and remain closed for the rest of the day, except for four stores closest to Westminster Abbey and St George's Chapel, Windsor which will reopen after the funeral service has completed.
CEO of M&S, Stuart Machin, said: "All of us at M&S – and indeed across the country and beyond - feel a real and deep sense of loss and sadness at the passing of Her Majesty, as well as huge respect for the grace with which His Majesty King Charles III and the wider Royal Family have led the nation in our mourning.
"It is right that we make changes to our operational arrangements on the day of the funeral to ensure our colleagues across our stores and distribution network can participate, whilst supporting customers as they show their respects too. That’s why on Monday 19th September we will cease customer delivery services and close M&S owned stores in the UK for the entire day, with some limited exceptions in London and Windsor, which will close for the duration of the service."
Waitrose- mainly closed
On Monday, September 19, Waitrose shops will close with the exception of six in London and Windsor, which will close for the service itself. Waitrose won't make any deliveries and has said it's helping customers make alternative arrangements.
A statement on Twitter reads: "Waitrose stores will be closed on Monday. On Monday 19 September 2022 - the day of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's funeral - the nation comes together to reflect on her long, happy and glorious reign.
"As a mark of respect, Waitrose stores will close for the day. Six of our shops in London and Windsor will be open to serve people lining the route to the funeral procession but they will close for the service itself.
"We extend our heartfelt sympathy to His Majesty The King, The Royal Family and all those whose lives she touched." For more what's on and shopping stories from WalesOnline, you can get our newsletter here.

Hurricane Fiona bears down on Dominican Republic after ripping across Puerto Rico where it caused landslides, damaged homes and unleashed biblical floods - including one that swept an entire BRIDGE downstream
- Hurricane Fiona is approaching the Dominican Republic having triggered life-threatening floods and mudslides in Puerto Rico throughout Sunday after making landfall during the afternoon
- Fiona is moving towards the eastern portion of Dominican Republic and likely to make landfall early Monday
- The tropical storm was upgraded to hurricane status and hit Puerto Rico hard on Sunday afternoon
- Officials say rains and floods are life-threatening rains as residents shutter their homes and prepare for worst
- President Joe Biden made an emergency declaration for the US territory to channel FEMA funds to the island
- Puerto Rico's electricity grid failed as the strong winds blew down power lines with the entire network remaining extremely fragile after Hurricane Maria in September 2017 and the largest blackout in U.S. history
- Authorities say power is out across the island and unlikely to be restored for several days
Hurricane Fiona bore down on the Dominican Republic on Monday after knocking out the power grid and unleashing floods and landslides in Puerto Rico, where the governor said the damage was 'catastrophic'.
Fiona was forecast to swipe the Dominican Republic early Monday and then northern Haiti and the Turks and Caicos Islands with the threat of heavy rain. It could threaten the far southern end of the Bahamas on Tuesday.
Hurricane warnings were posted for the Dominican Republic's eastern coast from Cabo Caucedo to Cabo Frances Viejo, and for the Turks and Caicos.
No deaths in Puerto Rico have been reported where vast amounts of damage is said to have been caused across the island on Sunday afternoon.

Authorities in the U.S. territory said it was too early to estimate the damage from a storm that was still forecast to unleash torrential rain across Puerto Rico on Monday. Up to 30 inches was forecast for Puerto Rico's eastern and southern regions.
'It's important people understand that this is not over,' said Ernesto Morales, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in San Juan.
He said flooding has reached 'historic levels,' with authorities evacuating or rescuing hundreds of people across the island.
'The damages that we are seeing are catastrophic,' said Gov. Pedro Pierluisi.

Brown water rushed through streets, into homes and even consumed a runway airport in southern Puerto Rico.
Roads were turned into raging torrents as Fiona also ripped up asphalt from roads and washed away a bridge in the central mountain town of Utuado that police say was installed by the National Guard after Hurricane Maria hit in 2017 as a Category 5 storm.
The storm also ripped off the roofs of several homes, including that of Nelson Cirino in the northern coastal town of Loiza.
'I was sleeping and saw when the corrugated metal flew off,' he said as he observed how the rain drenched his belonging.
Ada Vivian Román, a 21-year-old photography student, said the storm knocked down trees and fences in her hometown of Toa Alta.
'I´m actually very anxious because it's a really slow-moving hurricane,' she said.
She said she is also worried about whether the public transportation she relies on to get to her job at a public relations agency will be operating by the time she has to go back to the office.
The water was seen flowing along at quite a rate of speed. Forecasters are predicting up to 30 inches of rain to fall in total

'But I know that I'm privileged compared with other families who are practically losing their homes because they are under water,' she said.
Fiona was centered 50 miles southeast of Punta Cana, Dominican Republic with maximum sustained winds of 85mph on Sunday night, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center. It was moving to the northwest at 9 mph.
It hit on the anniversary of Hurricane Hugo, which slammed into the island in 1989 as a Category 3 storm.
As authorities continue to assess the damage from Fiona, many wondered when power would be restored.
'That's probably the worst damage there is,' said Tomás Rivera, who co-owns a hotel in the southwest coastal town of El Combate.
Rivera said his employees brought bedridden family members to the hotel, where he has stocked up on diesel, gasoline, food, water and ice, given how slowly the government responded after Hurricane Maria.
President Joe Biden declared a state of emergency in the U.S. territory as the eye of the storm approached the island's southwest corner. Puerto Rico's ports have been closed and flights out of the main airport canceled.

The emergency declaration authorizes Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to coordinate disaster relief efforts and provide emergency protective measures, the White House explained.
US Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said agency officials deployed to Puerto Rico will assist with restoration efforts 'as it becomes safe to do so.' Fiona was at hurricane strength as torrential rains deluged the Caribbean.
The blackout that Hurricane Maria caused was blamed for the deaths of nearly 3,000 people in the storm´s sweltering aftermath, with power in some neighborhoods not restored until a year later. Maria was a devastating Category 5 storm that struck on September 20, 2017.
The entire island is once again without electricity plunging the island's population of about 3.2 million people into a total blackout overnight. The ferocious wind ripped roofs from homes whilst the heavy rain also caused landslides.
Fiona hit about 15 miles south-southeast of Mayaguez with maximum sustained winds of 85mph, according to the US National Hurricane Centre. It was moving to the north-west at 9mph.
Luma, the company that operates power transmission and distribution, said bad weather, including winds of 80 mph, had disrupted transmission lines on Sunday, leading to 'a blackout on all the island.'
Health centers were running on generators - and some of those had failed. Health Secretary Carlos Mellado said crews rushed to repair generators at the Comprehensive Cancer Center, where several patients had to be evacuated.
More than 3,000 homes still have only a blue tarp as a roof, and infrastructure remains weak, including the power grid. Outages remain common, and reconstruction started only recently.

The storm's clouds covered the entire island and tropical storm-force winds extended as far as 140 miles from Fiona's centre.
Gov. Pedro Pierluisi tweeted at about 2pm on Sundaythat 'the electrical system is currently out of service. Protocols have been activated according to plans established to address this situation.'
Pierluisi also announced on Sunday that public schools and government agencies would remain closed on Monday.
'The damages that we are seeing are catastrophic,' he said.

'Current weather conditions are extremely dangerous and are hindering our capacity to evaluate the complete situation,' it said, adding that it could take several days to fully restore power.
At a press conference in the capital San Juan on Sunday night, LUMA spokesman Abner Gomez said the entire electrical system had first been shut down to protect its infrastructure. Some power was being restored with priority being given to hospitals and other critical community services, he said.
'This has been catastrophic,' Pierluisi said at the news conference. 'We are responding to the emergency as weather conditions permit.

'I think all of us Puerto Ricans who lived through Maria have that post-traumatic stress of, `What is going to happen, how long is it going to last and what needs might we face?´' said Danny Hernández, who works in the capital of San Juan but planned to weather the storm with his parents and family in the western town of Mayaguez.
He said the atmosphere was gloomy at the supermarket as he and others stocked up before the storm hit.
'After Maria, we all experienced scarcity to some extent,' he said.
The storm pummeled cities and towns along Puerto Rico´s southern coast that have not yet fully recovered from a string of strong earthquakes starting in late 2019.
More than 1,000 people with some 80 pets had sought shelter across the island by Sunday night, the majority of them in the southern coast.

Photos showed damaged buildings and flooded cars in Ponce, about 34 miles east of where Fiona made landfall.
'These rains will produce life-threatening flash flooding and urban flooding across Puerto Rico and the eastern Dominican Republic, along with mudslides and landslides in areas of higher terrain,' the Nation Hurricane Center said.
'I urge people to stay in their homes,' said William Miranda Torres, mayor of the northern town of Caguas, where at least one large landslide was reported, with water rushing down a big slab of broken asphalt and into a gully.
Authorities have opened about 80 shelters and closed beaches and casinos, and residents were urged to seek shelter.
The storm was forecast to pummel cities and towns along Puerto Rico´s southern coast that are still recovering from a string of strong earthquakes that hit the region starting in late 2019, with several schools still shuttered and debris to be removed.

Officials also reported several road closures across the island as trees and small landslides blocked access.
Ahead of the hurricane's arrival, people boarded up windows and stocked up on food and water.
Fiona hit just two days before the anniversary of Hurricane Maria, a devastating Category 5 storm that struck on September 20, 2017, destroying the island's power grid and causing nearly 3,000 deaths.
More than 3,000 homes still have only a blue tarp as a roof, and infrastructure remains weak.
'What we´ve done is prepared ourselves to depend as little as possible on the central government,' he said.
It's a sentiment shared by 70-year-old Ana Córdova, who arrived Saturday at a shelter in the north coastal town of Loiza after buying loads of food and water.
'I don't trust them,' she said, referring to the government. 'I lost trust after what happened after Hurricane Maria.'
Denise Rios, who lives in the southwestern town of Hormigueros, said she was left without power following a strong gust of wind and rain that began around noon on Sunday.
'Since then it hasn't stopped,' she said. 'It is raining heavily and the wind is blowing hard. I'm calm, but alert.'

Fiona was forecast to swipe past the Dominican Republic on Monday and then northern Haiti and the Turks and Caicos Islands with the threat of heavy rain. It could threaten the far southern end of the Bahamas on Tuesday.
A hurricane warning was posted for the Dominican Republic's eastern coast from Cabo Caucedo to Cabo Frances Viejo.
Fiona previously battered the eastern Caribbean, killing one man in the French territory of Guadeloupe when floods washed his home away in the Basse-Terre district, officials said.
France will recognize a state of natural disaster for Guadeloupe, President Emmanuel Macron said on Twitter on Sunday.
The storm also damaged roads, uprooted trees and destroyed at least one bridge.

Bitcoin extended its losses on Monday, losing more than $1,000 from the previous day's high under the cloud of higher interest rate hikes.
The cryptocurrency was trading at $18,809.42 as of Monday morning, down by 6.13% in the last 24 hours and around 16% from the recent peak of more than $22,000 about a week ago. The cryptocurrency had rallied to more than $20,000 on Sunday.
The world's biggest virtual currency, which has a market cap of more than $360.6 billion, has lost 61% in value compared to a year ago, when it was trading above $48,000.
Other digital currencies, such as Ethereum, BNB and XRP, also fell by 10.25%, 5.63% and 5.68%, respectively, according to CoinMarketCap.
The US Federal Reserve will meet on September 20 and is expected to raise the interest rate by 0.75 percentage points. Interest rates have already been raised four times this year.
Cryptocurrencies, as well as the stock markets, had previously benefited from low interest rates.
"Assets that have benefitted most from ultra-low interest rates - think high-octane growth stocks with earnings well off into the future and non-cash-flow-generating assets like cryptocurrencies - have been hit hardest as markets adjust to the reality of higher interest rates," said Greg McBride, CFA, Bankrate Chief Financial Analyst.

GRAPHIC CONTENT WARNING: Fighter gets one of the most gruesome UFC injuries EVER before launching into wild 'Robocop' rant after winning his bout despite horror cut
- UFC fighter Gregory Rodrigues suffers horrific cut between the eyebrows
- The Brazilian defeated Chidi Njokuani with 1:27 left in the second round by TKO
- UFC legend Daniel Cormier labelled the cut 'one of the worst I've ever seen'
- Rodrigues announced to the UFC crowd afterwards that he is Robocop
UFC fighter Gregory Rodrigues suffered one of the worst cuts in the history of the sport on Sunday - but it didn't stop him from battling on and winning the bout.
The Brazilian known as 'Robocop' suffered the devastating injury in the first round when he was kneed between the eyebrows by middleweight opponent Chidi Njokuani.
UFC fighter Gregory Rodrigues suffered one of the worst cuts in the history of the sport on Sunday in his bout against Chidi Njokuani at UFC Vegas 60
UFC legend Daniel Cormier labelled the cut one of the worst he's ever seen
Temporarily stunned by the shot, Rodrigues then burst into action and turned up the heat on his opponent.
In between rounds the UFC doctor examined the gutsy 31-year-old's cut, as his cornermen worked hard to stem the bleeding.
Rodrigues was allowed to continue and came out in the second round and defeated Njokuani with aggressive ground-and pound strikes.
The remarkable win left the commentary crew stunned as Daniel Cormier labelled it 'one of the worst cuts I've ever seen.'
Despite the gruesome injury Rodrigous went on to win the bout and pick up a $50k bonus
Rodrigous didn't seem as surprised with the outcome, saying: 'I know one thing, I'm born for this. It doesn't matter, man, they need to kill me but alive or dead you're coming with me - I'm a Robocop. I’ll say one thing, I love you Jesus.'
Rodrigues received stitches immediately after the match that thankfully closed the wound. It didn't stop people from commenting on the graphic injury, however.
Aljamain Sterling, the current UFC Bantamweight Champion, commented on Twitter: 'How TF did he come back with his face falling off? Insane toughness, cardio, and heart right there!'
Rodrigous' wound was thankfully stitched up after the bout
Another Twitter user commented: 'I legit got queasy looking at that. I don't know how he kept fighting, let alone winning.'
Journalist Shaeen Al-Shatti posted a photo of the before and after shots on Twitter.
Rodrigues not only earned the victory, but he also got a $50,000 bonus for Fight of the Night honours.
When interviewed after the bout, Rordrigues told the UFC crowd that he is 'born for this' and he is 'Robocop'
Rordrigues' win improved his professional MMA record to 13-4-0.
He first debuted in the UFC on June 5, 2021 in a win over Serbian, Dusko Todorovic via unanimous decision.

Rhine water above crisis levels in Germany, approaching normal depths
HAMBURG, Sept 19 (Reuters) - Water depths on the Rhine River in Germany have risen thanks to recent rain and are approaching normal levels after falling this summer to lows that disrupted transportation, vessel brokers and commodity traders said on Monday.
But, since dry weather was forecast for much of this week, levels could fall again and the picture had not yet normalised, brokers said.
The Rhine is an important shipping route for such commodities as grains, minerals, coal and oil products, including heating oil.
Weeks of high temperatures and scant rainfall in August lowered water levels in the river, Germany's commercial artery, causing delays to shipping and pushing up freight costs. There were fears the disruption could knock half a percentage point off economic growth in Europe's biggest economy this year.
But the reference water level at the chokepoint of Kaub <WL-KAUB> near Koblenz rose to 1.39 metres on Monday. That compared with the level of only 32 centimetres in August. Vessels need a Kaub reference level of about 1.5 metres to navigate fully loaded.
Shallow water after this summer's heatwave and drought compelled some freight vessels to operate only about 25% full in August, increasing costs for cargo owners, which needed more vessels to get supplies delivered.
Vessels were now able to sail with considerably larger loads, and prices for river transport had fallen back from their peaks, brokers said.
Spot prices for a liquid tanker barge from Rotterdam to Karlsruhe, south of Kaub, fell to about 65 euros a tonne on Monday from about 69 euros a tonne late last week.
Prices had hit peaks of around 118 a tonne in August, up from only around 20 euros in June, before water levels fell, brokers said. (Reporting by Michael Hogan; Editing by Bradley Perrett)

Euro zone short-dated yields just off multi-year highs ahead of Fed
By Stefano Rebaudo
Sept 19 (Reuters) - Euro zone government bond yields edged higher on Monday as investors braced for the outcome of the Federal Reserve policy meeting this week, after pricing in further monetary tightening despite increasing recession risks.
The European Central Bank could raise interest rates next year, causing pain for consumers as it tries to depress demand that is increasingly adding to sky-high inflation, chief economist Philip Lane said on Saturday.
The Fed is widely expected to raise rates by 75 basis points, but some traders are betting on a 100 basis points increase, according to CME Group's FedWatch tool. Money markets see a 20% chance of a full-point hike.
The Bank of Japan and the Bank of England are also meeting this week.
Germany's 10-year yield, the benchmark of the bloc, rose 0.5 basis points (bps) to 1.77%%, after hitting its highest since mid-June at 1.817% last week.
Germany's 2-year yield, more sensitive to rate hikes, was flat at 1.55%, after hitting a new 11-year high at 1.62% last Friday.
"While ECB terminal rate expectations are already flirting with 2.75% by May, the short-end looks set to remain under pressure with ECB members suggesting that a mild recession will not stand in the way of several more major tightening steps," Commerzbank analysts said in a note to clients.
Analysts said a so-called curve flattening bias remained intact. A flattening or inverted yield curve - namely, when long-dated yields are equal to or lower than short-dated ones -- signals investors' caution about the economic outlook.
It also suggests a central bank reaction to rising inflation may be seen as a hawkish mistake that could stifle growth.
The gap between 2- and 10-year German yields was at 20.3 bps, after hitting its tightest since January 2021 at 16.3 last week.
Italy's 10-year government bond yield rose 1.5 bps to 4.04%, with the spread between Italian and German 10-year yields at around 227 bps ahead of general elections due on Sept. 25.
The absence of anti-euro rhetoric seen in the 2018 election has reassured investors, for now. But pressure on bonds could build as focus shifts to budget policy in 2023, and concerns arise about a potential clash with the EU if right-wing parties push for fewer taxes and higher pension spending.
