The former prisoner of war had his conviction thrown out by a federal judge last week.

A group of Republican lawmakers is pushing Defense Department leaders to retry Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl for desertion after his conviction was thrown out by a federal judge last week.
Five military veterans — Reps. Mike Waltz, R-Fla.; Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas; Jake Ellzey, R-Texas; Ryan Zinke, R-Mont.; and Guy Reschenthaler, R-Pa. — sent a letter to both Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Attorney General Merrick Garland demanding “an immediate review of options for a new trial” for Bergdahl, calling it a matter of fairness and justice.
Bergdahl pled guilty to desertion in 2017, but his conviction was thrown out in July on a technicality. He’d left his military base in Afghanistan in 2009. He was captured by the Taliban and held captive for nearly five years. Hundreds of troops spent thousands of man hours looking for the missing soldier, and military officials said several were wounded in enemy attacks.
“Bergdahl’s actions endangered and potentially got his comrades killed,” the GOP lawmakers wrote. “This outcome dishonors those who served and died alongside Bergdahl, and by omission condoning such behavior, puts the lives of future American soldiers in peril.”
RELATED
Bergdahl’s conviction carried with it a dishonorable discharge and a $10,000 penalty but no jail time, given the years he spent being tortured by hostile forces.
But on July 25, U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton ruled that conviction was invalid because the military judge who presided over the court-martial — Jeffrey Nance — failed to disclose a personal conflict of interest: his application to the executive branch for a job as an immigration judge.
Former President Donald Trump was outspoken in his criticism of Bergdahl both before his election in 2016 and during his time in office. Walton ruled that Nance’s failure to disclose a job application with senior Trump officials created the appearance of impropriety.
RELATED
Both Department of Justice and Department of Defense officials have declined to speak publicly on possible next steps in the case. The lawmakers behind the letter said that simply allowing the case to fade away is unacceptable, and asked for a new trial “as expeditiously as possible.”
Bergdahl, now 37, has kept a low profile since his return from Afghanistan. He had testified that he left his post to complain about a toxic leadership climate in his unit. Bergdahl was only freed after the release of five senior Taliban leaders by then President Barack Obama.

SpouseLink helps military spouses support family as they transition to civilian life.

Whenever Anna Larson’s husband John returned home during leave from the military, she saw changes in his behavior that were typically swept under the rug, as their time together was limited and he was returning to active service.
When John Larson finally retired after 22 years in the military, Anna knew it was time to address some of the issues now that John was home for good.
“From start to finish, he was a completely different person,” said Anna Larson about her husband’s military career. “When the transition happened, I stopped that process and said, ‘We’re not doing this again. It’s not going to be another new norm where we don’t have these conversations.’”
Anna Larson said that once a military spouse, always a military spouse, and that continues after a spouse returns to the civilian world. When that veteran suffers from post traumatic stress disorder, as seven of 100 veterans do according to the Veterans Administration, many forget the spouses are going through a difficult transition stage as well.
Anna’s experiences helping John through his challenges inspired her to become a Military Spouse Ambassador for SpouseLink, a program started by the American Armed Forces Military Aid Association (AAFMAA) to help spouses cope with life as a military spouse.
SpouseLink provides resources to military spouses who are finding challenges making ends meet while their spouses are serving and once the spouse retires from active duty. The program provides spouses of active military members and veterans with help with financial issues such as investing, helping get kids through schooling, or making other family decisions such as health care.
It also provides a sounding board and a support group for spouses who are struggling to find help elsewhere or searching for peers who are experiencing the same problems.
Anna Larson served as the ambassador for Fort Cavazos (formerly Ford Hood) in Texas before John retired. It is a self-described passion project for Anna, who is a digital marketer, copywriter and website designer. John’s retirement also opened another door for Anna’s commitment to SpouseLink.
“We were going through retirement and I said I was probably not the right person for that role,” Anna Larson said. “But that conversation led us to talking about retiring service members. That led me into a position where we decided I would become an ambassador that focuses specifically on retiring and transitioning military spouses.”
Anna Larson uses her career background as part of her duties as an ambassador, writing articles and hosting monthly livestreams focusing on transition and retirement topics, such as how to claim disability benefits and filing VA claims. She started the role 18 months ago.
Anna Larson started seeing signs that her husband was struggling that she described as “abnormal,” such as shying away from social events or having trouble sleeping. She felt helpless thinking she was not able to help her husband get through his issues, and now wants to let other military spouses know there is help out there.
“What I really want to bring to the attention of spouses is it’s okay to start having those conversations, even if it’s a little bit of change you see,” she said. “Addressing it then might be what makes them realize, ‘I guess I am acting a little differently.’ Just acknowledging that those things are there are things military families don’t want to do because there’s so many other things that are invading that time and space.”
When meeting with clients, Anna Larson’s main message is to encourage more communication between spouses.
“Create open communication and open dialogue earlier rather than later and start having conversations that you might have put off, especially if you know that retirement is coming,” she said. “Don’t be afraid to ask if you can participate in the things that you feel are important for you to know. Because the more we know, the better we’re going to be able to support our service members through transition in retirement.”

The departure comes as House Republicans inserted amendments into National Defense Authorization Act, some seeking to eliminate the office.

The Defense Department’s head of personnel and readiness announced his upcoming departure from the Pentagon on Monday, according to a statement from Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin.
Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness Gilbert Cisneros, a Navy veteran and former two-term congressman from California, will leave his post in early September. Cisneros has been in the role since August 2021. No nominee was named to replace him.
During his tenure as the Pentagon’s personnel chief, Cisneros worked on numerous hot-button social issues, including the Pentagon’s newest abortion policy for military personnel, which covers travel costs and time off for troops who travel out of state due to abortion restrictions or bans in the state where they are stationed.
“[H]e was a steadfast and faithful servant in the department’s mission to take care of our people,” Austin said in a statement. “His commitment to the ‘people first’ approach helped the department improve the quality of life of our service members and their families.”
That policy, however, has been met by a hold on all uniformed and civilian Pentagon nominees by Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala. If the impasse on nominees is not resolved, Cisneros’ successor may face a similar delay in their confirmation process.
The departure comes as House Republicans inserted various amendments into this year’s National Defense Authorization Act. A number of them seek to rid the Pentagon of its diversity and inclusion office, along with reviewing department diversity initiatives.
When asked if Cisneros’ departure was in response to House Republican’s efforts, a defense official said that was not the case. They pointed out that Cisneros is the longest serving personnel and readiness under secretary since 2009.
Austin also praised Cisneros for his work on sexual assault and harassment prevention in the armed forces. Over the past two years, Cisneros worked to implement 80 projects to reform the military sexual assault and harassment guidelines and practices.
Those efforts include standing up an independent counsel’s office for sexual assault cases, with Congress giving the office an implementation deadline in the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act of Dec. 28, 2023.
While movement has been slow on establishing select reforms, Cisneros told Congress during a September 2022 House Armed Services Committee hearing that the speed is methodical and meant to continue building trust between the department and service members.
“Getting this right requires we move on expeditiously as possible to implement change, while also ensuring we do not rush to failure,” Cisneros told lawmakers. “If we improperly rush now, we will not be able to pick up the pieces and establish trust with our service members again.”
A vocal opponent of former President Donald Trump’s ban on transgender service members while in Congress, Cisneros has defended LGTBQ+ service members and President Joe Biden’s revocation of the ban. As the chief of the Pentagon’s diversity and inclusion office, Cisneros has also defended those initiatives within the military despite opposition from Republican lawmakers, calling the efforts vital to securing talent for positions in the armed forces.
“It is a diverse talent pool that ultimately contributes to our success on the battlefield and beyond‚” Cisneros told an audience at this year’s Pentagon LGTBQ+ pride event. “Diversity and inclusion are imperative to recruit and retain the best and brightest talent, we must ensure that we reach out to all communities.”
Cisneros’ tenure in the personnel role came during a time when the military has failed to meet its recruiting targets. Aside from the Marine Corps, each service is projecting shortfalls in Fiscal Year 2023 as branches continue to struggle with attracting new recruits. The Army is facing the largest recruiting deficit, with the service projected to miss its end-season mark by 10,000 soldiers.
An 11-year Navy veteran, Cisneros first worked in shipping and manufacturing following his time in uniform. Weeks after he was laid off from his job in 2010, he won $266 million in the Mega Millions lottery. Cisneros and his wife used some of the money to start charities focused on higher education scholarships for students with financial needs.

Head of Space Command, Gen. James Dickinson, argued that moving his headquarters now would jeopardize military readiness.

President Joe Biden has decided to keep U.S. Space Command headquarters in Colorado, overturning a last-ditch decision by the Trump administration to move it to Alabama and ending months of politically fueled debate, according to senior U.S. officials.
The officials said Biden was convinced by the head of Space Command, Gen. James Dickinson, who argued that moving his headquarters now would jeopardize military readiness. Dickinson’s view, however, was in contrast to Air Force leadership, who studied the issue at length and determined that relocating to Huntsville, Alabama, was the right move.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the decision ahead of the announcement.
The president, they said, believes that keeping the command in Colorado Springs would avoid a disruption in readiness that the move would cause, particularly as the U.S. races to compete with China in space. And they said Biden firmly believes that maintaining stability will help the military be better able to respond in space over the next decade.
Biden’s decision is sure to enrage Alabama lawmakers and fuel accusations that abortion politics played a role in the choice. The location debate has become entangled in the ongoing battle between Alabama Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville and the Defense Department over the move to provide travel for troops seeking reproductive health care. Tuberville opposes the policy and is blocking hundreds of military promotions in protest.
Formally created in August 2019, the command was temporarily based in Colorado, and Air Force and Space Force leaders initially recommended it stay there. In the final days of his presidency Donald Trump decided it should be based in Huntsville.
The change triggered a number of reviews.
Proponents of keeping the command in Colorado have argued that moving it to Huntsville and creating a new headquarters would set back its progress at a time it needs to move quickly to be positioned to match China’s military space rise. And Colorado Springs is also home to the Air Force Academy, which now graduates Space Force guardians, and more than 24 military space missions, including three Space Force bases.
Huntsville, however, scored higher than Colorado Springs in a Government Accountability Office assessment of potential locations and has long been a home to some of earliest missiles used in the nation’s space programs, including the Saturn V rocket. It is home to the Army’s Space and Missile Defense Command.
According to officials, Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall, who ordered his own review of the matter, leaned toward Huntsville, while Dickinson was staunchly in favor of staying put. The officials said Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin presented both options to Biden.
Pentagon spokesman Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder emphasized in a statement on Monday that Biden’s pick resulted from a “thorough and deliberate evaluation process ... informed by data and analysis.”
Austin, Kendall and Dickinson “all support the President’s decision,” Ryder said.
“Locating Headquarters U.S. Space Command in Colorado Springs ultimately ensures peak readiness in the space domain for our nation during a critical period,” Ryder said. “It will also enable the command to most effectively plan, execute and integrate military spacepower into multidomain global operations in order to deter aggression and defend national interests.”
Meanwhile, House Armed Services Committee Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Ala., blasted the reversal in his own statement and vowed to continue a congressional inquiry into the selection process.
“I will continue to hold the Biden administration accountable for their egregious political meddling in our national security,” Rogers said Monday. “This fight is far from over.”
Air Force Times senior reporter Rachel Cohen contributed to this story.

The Redneck Yacht Club is the Army’s latest recruiting weapon.
On Saturday, 59-year-old country music star Craig Morgan — whose songs include “Redneck Yacht Club” and “That’s What I Love About Sunday” — re-enlisted in the Army Reserves during a live show at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tenn. Morgan previously served 17 years in the active-duty Army and Reserves and will now serve as a celebrity recruiter for the force at a time of sagging recruitment for the military.
“I love being an artist but I consider it a true privilege and honor to work with what I believe are the greatest of Americans, my fellow soldiers,” Morgan said in a statement following his on-stage swearing-in. “God Bless America, go Army.”
Morgan’s return to the ranks is designed to be an attention-grabbing move for both the signer and the service, which is on pace to miss its recruiting goals by about 10,000 individuals this year. That follows a similar shortfall in recruiting last year, an issue that has drawn considerable concern from military leaders and lawmakers.
The country star’s re-enlistment was allowed in part because of a behind-the-scenes push from Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., who serves on the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee.

“This is going to draw attention to the fact that the military’s numbers are down, and people need to think about service to their country,” she told Military Times. “Having Craig out there, helping deliver that message, talking about how blessed he’s been with his career and then still wanting to enlist again, I think it’s fantastic.”
Morgan previously served with the 101st and 82nd Airborne Divisions. As a new reservist, he will be assigned to Redstone Arsenal in Alabama but also continuing touring, including several shows for the military in coming months.
He performed the end of Saturday’s show in full Army uniform, including performing his song “Soldier.”
Gen. Andrew Poppas, head of Army Forces Command, officiated the concert ceremony and praised Morgan’s decision to again serve his country.
“No matter who you are or where you’re from, service in the United States Army is a unique, life-changing honor,” he said. “Every soldier who enters the Army has the opportunity to become the best version of themselves, and Staff Sgt. Morgan is no exception.”
Army officials have until Sept. 30 to reach their fiscal 2023 enlistment goals. The Senate on Thursday advanced their version of the annual defense authorization bill, which included a host of new recruiting and re-enlistment bonuses for servicemembers, but that measure likely won’t become law until sometime this fall.

The 16th Sergeant Major of the Army Michael A. Grinston has provided some memorable quotes during his time as the service's top enlisted soldier.
|

From social media to interviews with reporters to taking the stage at numerous events over his four-year tenure as the service’s top enlisted soldier, Sergeant Major of the Army Michael A. Grinston has offered many quips, aphorisms and no-nonsense advice to soldiers and leaders up and down the chain of command. The Army has even compiled a series of fireside chats on various topics that Grinston has addressed through his tenure for the service’s NCO Journal dubbed “16x16.” As the 16th Sergeant Major of the Army leaves the post in a ceremony on Aug. 4 and then retires soon after, Army Times has compiled a sampling of those Grinstonesque sayings to share that we’re calling, “The Quotable Grinston.”
On every problem the Army faces
“If it was easy, somebody would’ve already done it.”
On improving soldier skills, raising standards
“Oh, it’s coming. Soldiers need to know how to read a map.”
“If you don’t know how to stop a soldier from bleeding, it doesn’t matter if you’re in large-scale combat or counterinsurgency, you don’t know how to do your tasks. At the battalion and below, you need to be an absolute expert in your job. Every soldier in your organization needs to know their job so well that we shouldn’t have to worry about that. [Then] we can worry about the deep fight and long-range hypersonics.”

On NCO development
“What we need to do is continuously challenge our NCOs,” Grinston said. “So that’s one of our biggest changes; make our first NCO course rigorous and bring back a little rigor and field time and the tactics.”
On Ukraine
“When Russia invaded Ukraine, your Army knew exactly what we needed to do. You should be proud of what we’ve done.”
On operational tempo
“We’ve never said no. I’ve watched these soldiers, year after year, they’ve said, ‘Yes, I’ll go do that.’”

On finding solutions
“You hear it all the time: ‘Well, I don’t want to make sausage in front of the sergeant major of the Army.’ I want to make sausage. I want to hear ideas … because if the people with the money and authority that can help with policy don’t hear the ideas in the forum, then you may wait too long and it doesn’t get funded or it’s not a policy,”
On being present
“What I ask you all as leaders is, are you there? You don’t have to lead (physical training), you don’t have to be up front, you just have to be present.”

On mental health
“It’s okay to seek help if you need help. But I do want to caution you that that is not the panacea for all your problems. Maybe seek behavioral health, maybe you can talk to a chaplain. I think when we use all the resources that we have, I think we’re all going to be in a better mental state. We can’t just use only one resource.”
Following the murder of Spc. Vanessa Guillén
“I think that’s the hard part … ‘It wasn’t your actions, it was the actions around you, and somehow that was allowed to fester. And that’s the difficult part because you personally were performing exceptionally well. But those things around you were happening, and either you should have known or you allowed it.’”
On combat
“I think I did my best to bring everybody back. I didn’t, but I think they knew that I truly cared. And when I made them run a billion miles — when you’re in combat, you didn’t fall out.”
On his time as a drill sergeant
“I was mean. There’s no way I could lie to you, if you were to talk to my soldiers … I was not nice, I was not fun. I wouldn’t want me as a drill sergeant.”

Stopping sexual assault and harassment
“You hear it all the time: ‘Well, I don’t want to make sausage in front of the sergeant major of the Army.’ I want to make sausage. I want to hear ideas … because if the people with the money and authority that can help with policy don’t hear the ideas in the forum, then you may wait too long and it doesn’t get funded or it’s not a policy,”
On suicide
“I think we need to rethink suicide. We want to put people in a box that behavioral health will solve. Maybe we need to look at it that everyone can be susceptible to a suicide thought or event.”
On failure
“I feel that I failed to communicate the importance of being a part of a cohesive team that is highly trained, disciplined and fit. I talk about ‘This is My Squad,’ [and] how to take ownership and treat people with dignity and respect. I failed to get [my message] down to the NCOs on Fort Hood.”
On readiness
“It’s not people first versus readiness; it’s people first that equals readiness in the Army. If I’m more fit, I’m a better [rifleman]; that’s about me as a person. If I’m not fit and I can’t shoot my weapon, I’m not very lethal.”

On race
“Racial identity is something that I have struggled with my entire life. … Sometimes in my life, I felt like it’s in the movie ‘The Green Book’ where the actor gets out of the car and he says, ‘I’m not Black enough for the Black people, and I’m not White enough for the White people.’”
On loss
“I got an award and I don’t even know if I deserve it. I’d give it back in a second if I could get the soldiers back.”
Facing death
“It got to the point that by the time I’d gotten to my second deployment, I’m like, there’s no way,” “There’s no way I could get out the first time, I’m definitely going to die on the second and third. We were in Mahmoudiyah — Triangle of Death. Great.”

Gerber highlighted the "joyful spirit" of 10-month-old Maddie, the daughter of Air Force Lt. Col. (Dr.) Jun Mendoza and his wife, Crystal.

It felt like a “one in a million chance” that his baby daughter, Maddie, would be chosen to be the 2023 Gerber Baby, said Air Force Lt. Col. (Dr.) Jun Mendoza.
But Maddie, now 10 months old, was the one baby chosen out of tens of thousands of entries and is now Gerber’s “chief growing officer.” Both her parents grew up in Navy families, and were high school sweethearts in San Diego.
Mendoza, an Air Force Academy graduate, is a doctor at the academy in Colorado Springs, where he specializes in allergy and immunology. He’s also board certified as a pediatrician, and has served in the military for 16 years.
Maddie’s mother, Crystal, is a dentist. Crystal Mendoza said she was intrigued by the first-ever “throwback” aspect of this year’s Gerber Baby contest. Those who entered the contest were asked to submit a photo of their child as well as a photo of one parent as a child. She submitted photos of Maddie and of herself as a baby.
“It was remarkable how similar she and her mom were,” Tarun Malkani, president and CEO of Gerber, told Military Times during the annual Military Child Education Coalition summit the week of July 24. Maddie and her mom were chosen from “tens of thousands” of entries — the company doesn’t disclose exact numbers, he said. Gerber officials outpointed Maddie’s “joyful spirit and captivating expression” in their July announcement.
Speaking later to the more than 600 attendees at the summit’s opening session, celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Military Child Education Coalition, Mendoza said he is grateful for the organization and the work it does for military children. “Reaching forward, we’re proud that Maddie can represent MCEC and be a symbol for the work you’re going to do for another 25 years.”
The opening session featured a number of military kids discussing the needs of military children and expressing their experiences in different ways. Kylee Garick, the daughter of a Marine, read her essay “My Military Suitcase,” written 10 years ago when she was a fourth grader; and Lucy Keil, the daughter of a Navy sailor, performed her song “#Life of a Military Child.” Among the attendees were military and civilian youngsters involved in the education coalition’s Student 2 Student program in schools around the world, a student-led, faculty-advised effort to help welcome new students and ease their transition. Artwork of military children was on display throughout the summit.

“My wife and I remember when our dads, who served in the U.S. Navy, would be gone to sea for months at a time,” and their mothers were left behind to take care of them and the home front, Mendoza told the audience.
Their Navy families were able to stay in San Diego without moving, he told Military Times, but in his work as a pediatrician for eight years he saw some military children who had issues with relocating and making friends. The Mendozas themselves have moved four times in their nine years of marriage.
“A great boxer once said, ‘Life’s not about how hard a hit you could get. It’s about how many you can take and still keep moving forward,’” Mendoza said, referring to the character Rocky Balboa in his remarks at the education coalition. “I think many of us would agree that there are few people in this world that take as many hits as military children. Finding out about having to move in the middle of the school year is like a punch to the gut. Being away from your best friend is like a jab to the face. And when you find out your parent’s deployed through the holidays, that can be a knockout punch.
“But a lot of military kids don’t go down that easy. They’re strong, they’re tough, they’re resilient,” he said.
“It’s hard as a parent, a new parent … a lot of sleepless nights,” he said. “We’re getting there.
“But it’s hard to balance serving my country and just being there as a dad for Maddie,” Mendoza said. “I want her to know that I’m always going to be in her corner. I want her to go on to school and make a lot of friends. I want her to be happy, thoughtful, but most of all, resilient.
He added that he is grateful for organizations like MCEC, which provide the support military children need to “tackle life’s challenges.”
“I want all the military children to know you’re not alone in the ring. You don’t have to fight this fight alone, and you’re more than capable to go the distance.”
Maddie undoubtedly will be learning about her heritage. Crystal’s grandfather, Juan Pita, was in the Philippine Scouts in World War II and was taken prisoner by the Japanese. He was able to escape during the brutal Bataan Death March. And Jun Mendoza is also proud of his father’s accomplishments, including being named recruiter of the year for the San Diego recruiting district in 1995 and 1996.
The last time a military child was named the Gerber baby was in 2018 when Lucas Warren, son of Georgia National Guard Spc. Jason Warren, was selected.
The Mendozas received a $25,000 cash prize, free Gerber products for up to a year, and a new wardrobe provided by Gerber Childrenswear. Maddie will be featured on Gerber’s social media channels and marketing campaigns throughout the year. Gerber is also matching the $25,000 cash prize with a donation to support March of Dimes’ maternal and infant health programs.

The U.S. Army is still finalizing details related to contracts with defense industry, a PEO Soldier spokesperson said.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Army kicked off a program to quickly provide soldiers a portable, tank-busting drone, amid ballooning use of similar equipment in the Russia-Ukraine war.
The service’s Program Executive Office Soldier, or PEO Soldier, this month announced the Low Altitude Stalking and Strike Ordnance venture, or LASSO, and a responsibility for lethal unmanned systems, adding that the need for such gear is “urgent.”
LASSO systems can be carried by troops, use a tube for launches and are strapped with a lethal payload, according to the office, which specializes in equipment including uniforms, body armor, night-vision devices and guns. The kit also features an electro-optical and infrared sensor, precision flight controls and the ability to track and engage far-off targets, it said.
The one-way, or “suicide” drone is tailored for infantry brigade combat teams and is expected to be in soldiers’ hands in 2024. Feedback and updates will follow.
“As the Army prepares to engage near peer threats in a conventional conflict, it was evident that our infantry brigade combat teams are in need of additional organic anti-tank capabilities,” Jason Amadi, an office spokesperson, told C4ISRNET July 27. “PEO Soldier’s expertise is supporting the infantry brigade combat teams. No one is better suited to develop and field this capability to IBCT soldiers.”
RELATED
The Army is still finalizing details related to contracts with defense industry, Amadi said, but the plan is “to focus initial phases of the LASSO program on currently available systems.”
Bomb-laden drones have proven popular in the Russia-Ukraine war, with the clashing militaries attempting to scout, coordinate and attack from deeper and safer distances.
“Both sides are leaning heavily on FPV-type drones — light, portable, kamikaze, expendable systems,” Samuel Bendett, an expert at the Center for Naval Analyses, told C4ISRNET. “There’s a need, right now, for a large number of FPV-type drones. But there’s also a need to advance that development further out, beyond just the immediate line of contact, to where these drones can strike in the rear.”
The U.S. has promised Kyiv hundreds of AEVEX Aerospace Phoenix Ghost and AeroVironment Switchblade loitering munitions. An aid package announced July 25 also included pocket-sized Black Hornet surveillance drones from Teledyne FLIR.

DENVER (KDVR) — Country artist Luke Bryan invited a Denver-area girl backstage after he heard her story.
Mary Stegmueller, 7, has been battling terminal brain cancer since she was 4 years old. She’s a serious Luke Bryan fan, and she really wanted to see his show in Denver on Saturday.
But she is immunocompromised and cannot stand for long durations, so her family thought the concert was off the table until an anonymous donor gave them a private suite for the show.
Her family said they’re unbelievably grateful to the anonymous donor.
Mary got a quick hug from the country star back in 2021 after a concert, but this time, she was hoping for another chance to have a conversation with him.

Democrats and Republicans are offering clashing interpretations of the significance of former Hunter Biden business associate Devon Archer’s closed-door testimony, which lawmakers said included assertions that Hunter Biden was selling the “illusion of access” to his father and that Hunter Biden sometimes put President Biden on speakerphone to talk to his business associates.
The revelations are fueling Republican attempts to link the president to his son’s business dealings. Republicans, including Speaker Kevin McCarthy (Calif.) and House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer (Ky.), say the testimony shows that President Biden “lied” when he made campaign trail statements that he had never talked to his son about his foreign business dealings.
But Democrats say Archer’s testimony to the House Oversight Committee on Monday actually shows the president was not involved in Hunter Biden’s foreign business affairs.
Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.), who attended the hours-long transcribed interview, said Archer testified that because Hunter Biden was under pressure from Ukrainian energy company Burisma, “he had to give the illusion — and he used that term, the illusion — of access to his father, and he tried to get credit for things that he — that Mr. Archer testified Hunter had nothing to do with, such as when Vice President Biden went to Ukraine on his own.”
Lawmakers clash over whether testimony implicates president
Archer was on the board of Burisma with Hunter Biden. Republicans have said then-Vice President Biden’s call to remove Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin, whose office was investigating Burisma, was directly related to his son’s involvement with, and sizable payments from, the company.
But the investigation in Burisma had been opened before Shokin took the position, and Shokin was widely criticized for failure to prosecute corruption, with his ouster supported by numerous U.S. officials.
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), the ranking member on the House Oversight Committee, said in a statement that Archer testified that “President Biden was not involved in his son’s business affairs, and that President Biden was never asked to, nor did he, take any official actions in relation to those business matters.”
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said last week that the president “was never in business with his son.”
On the other end of the partisan spectrum, Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), who also attended the transcribed interview, said he thought Archer’s testimony “implicate[s] the president.”
Reading from his notes of the transcribed interview, Biggs said Archer testified that “Burisma would have gone out of business sooner if the Biden brand had not been invoked. People would be intimidated to legally mess with Burisma because of the Biden family brand.”
According to Biggs, Archer said the Biden “brand” referred to President Biden. But Goldman later said that Archer clarified the “brand” was based on a “D.C. brand based on his own experience in lobbying” and “in conjunction with the fact that his last name was Biden.”
Burisma bribery allegations
Both Biggs and Goldman said that Archer had no knowledge of an alleged $5 million payment to Biden from Burisma, an allegation relayed by a confidential FBI source in a form released by Republicans earlier in June.
Goldman argued that Archer’s testimony undercut the premise of the Biden-Burisma bribery allegations.
“Even though it was perceived by Burisma that they had the Prosecutor General Shokin ‘under control,’ quote unquote, that Joe Biden advocated for his firing — which of course, was not coveted or desired by Burisma, and would potentially be bad for Burisma,” Goldman said.
Raskin said that Republicans appeared to be “chasing” the bribery allegations, and pointed to a recent letter to Comer from Lev Parnas, who was involved in an effort to dig up dirt about the Bidens in Ukraine ahead of the 2020 election, urging Comer to abandon efforts to chase the “conspiracy theories.”
Comer, on the other hand, took issue with Hunter Biden’s work with Burisma.
“When Burisma’s owner was facing pressure from the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating the company for corruption, Archer testified that Burisma executives asked Hunter to ‘call D.C.’ after a Burisma board meeting in Dubai,” he said in a statement, which a press release said raised concerns that Hunter Biden was in violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
Phone calls with the president
Archer’s testimony did appear to partially back up Comer’s statement to the New York Post last week that he expected Archer to discuss the times he witnessed Hunter Biden’s putting then-Vice President Biden on speakerphone with foreign business partners.
Democrats downplayed that concern.
“The witness indicated that Hunter spoke to his father every day, and approximately 20 times over the course of a 10-year relationship. Hunter may have put his father on the phone with any number of different people, and they never once spoke about any business dealings,” Goldman said.
“As he described it, it was all casual conversation, niceties, the weather, ‘What’s going on?’” Goldman said, adding that “there wasn’t a single conversation about any of the business dealings that Hunter had.”
Democrats also stressed that there were especially frequent conversations between Hunter Biden and his father after his brother, Beau Biden, died from brain cancer in 2015.
Biggs pushed back on Goldman’s characterization.
“He probably forgot to tell you that Devon Archer himself said that was an implication of who the ‘big guy’ is,” Biggs said, referring to communications drawn from a laptop hard drive that purportedly belonged to Hunter Biden.
The House Oversight GOP also said in a tweet that President Biden attended a 2014 dinner with Hunter Biden and some of his foreign business associates at Cafe Milano in Washington, D.C.
White House slams GOP after ‘much-hyped witness’ testimony
Ian Sams, White House spokesperson for oversight and investigations, also argued that the Archer interview poked holes in the GOP attempts to directly link President Biden to his family’s foreign business dealings.
“It appears that the House Republicans’ own much-hyped witness today testified that he never heard of President Biden discussing business with his son or his son’s associates, or doing anything wrong,” Sams said. “House Republicans keep promising bombshell evidence to support their ridiculous attacks against the President, but time after time, they keep failing to produce any. In fact, even their own witnesses appear to be debunking their allegations.”
Raskin said that the Biden family investigation is a “desperate effort to distract everyone from former President Donald Trump’s mounting criminal indictments and deepening legal morass.”
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), who was also in the interview, told reporters that Archer had revealed new information, but declined to elaborate further.
Abbe Lowell, counsel for Hunter Biden, said in a statement that House Republicans “keep swinging and keep striking out in their obsessive pursuit of the President through his son, Hunter.”
“Mr. Archer confirmed one more time that Hunter Biden did not involve his father in, nor did his father assist him in, his business. It’s well known that Hunter and his father speak daily, and what Mr. Archer confirmed today was that when those calls occurred during Hunter’s business meetings, if there was any interaction between his father and his business associates, it was simply to exchange small talk,” Lowell said.
“Like the relatives of Donald Trump, Senators Ron Johnson and Ted Cruz, Rep. Lauren Boebert, and many others, family members of elected representatives meet people and may get opportunities because of those connections,” he continued. “Congress would be busy investigating many of their own if that’s their idea of an offense.”
Archer did not answer shouted questions when entering or leaving the transcribed interview, and his attorney declined to take a side in the debate over his testimony.
“We are aware that all sides are claiming victory following Mr. Archer’s voluntary interview today. But all Devon Archer did was exactly what we said he would: show up and answer the questions put to him honestly and completely. Mr. Archer shared the truth with the Committee, and we will leave to them and others to decide what to do with it,” said Matthew L. Schwartz, a managing partner of Boies Schiller Flexner LLP.

Social media has gone wild as people claim the government confirmed aliens exist. But the truth isn't that simple, even as Congress vows to investigate.

(NewsNation) — As in decades past, the question of whether aliens exist continues to captivate Americans. Following Wednesday’s widely-watched Congressional hearing on UAPs and UFOs, people flocked to social media — many proclaiming the government confirmed aliens exist.
But that’s not actually what happened at the hearing. While witnesses and lawmakers discussed the issue of UFOs, the government has not issued any official confirmation of alien life and what was said at the hearing, by witnesses and even a lawmaker, remains unverified.
As lawmakers continue to probe the issue, join NewsNation’s Brian Entin at 9 p.m. ET Sunday night for a two-hour special report on the hearing, including analysis from UFO experts. Find out how to tune in to NewsNation on your local channel lineup.
Here’s what we do (and don’t) know after the hearing:
Whistleblower David Grusch largely recounted second-hand testimony and provided no evidence to support his claims. Grusch is a former member of the UAP Task Force.
Former Navy Commander and pilot David Fravor recounted a first-hand experience with the so-called Tic Tac UFO but said he was never briefed on the object or its potential origins.
Former Navy pilot Ryan Graves, who founded the Americans for Safe Aerospace, also recounted an encounter he had with an object he described as a black sphere floating inside a clear cube. Graves indicated such encounters were extremely common among pilots. There was no evidence presented to support this claim.
While lawmakers seemed largely accepting of the witness testimony, only Rep. Matt Gaetz, R.-Fla., said he had seen any evidence of alien life firsthand.
Grusch was unable to answer a number of inquiries regarding specific evidence or proof in an open setting, though he indicated he would be willing to say more in a secure, classified briefing.
All three witnesses agreed these unidentified objects constituted a potential national security threat.
Official government bodies, including the White House, Pentagon, and NASA have all stated they have no reason to believe unexplained objects are extraterrestrial in nature.
National Security Council Spokesman John Kirby said after the hearing there are “no hard and fast” answers to the question but that the administration is taking it seriously.
This wasn’t the first time the U.S. government undertook investigations to address the question of UFOs, nor is it the first time the official response was that there was nothing “alien” going on.
However, at the heart of Grusch’s whistleblower complaint is his claim that the government, specifically the Department of Defense, is operating programs to retrieve material from crashes that are extraterrestrial in nature and are keeping those programs secret from the public while also operating without appropriate Congressional oversight.
Grusch spoke exclusively to NewsNation regarding his experiences, which he said include the U.S. government recovering the “non-human” pilots of downed craft.
In light of his claims, lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee have vowed to continue to hold more hearings, including classified briefings where Grusch could speak more freely. Members have also vowed to seek the power to subpoena documents and images that Grusch says back up his claims.
Lawmakers have also called for a centralized reporting system for both military and civilian reports of UFOs, to better analyze and understand the possible threat.
There is also the possibility of the creation of a new committee to specifically investigate UAPs/UFOs. It’s not entirely clear how Congress could compel the DoD or military to release information on any secret programs, should they exist, though, in the past, lawmakers have attempted to work UFO reporting into funding requirements for the Pentagon.

Q. With August Camp set to start this week our first question gets right to the point.
Pigsfeat wants to know: What does Arkansas football need to do in order to compete for National Championships and do you think it is possible to ever reach that level again?
A. My third season here they almost did it. A 13-9 loss to Texas was the difference. At the time I was thinking it was just a matter of time. Well that was 46 years ago and they haven’t come close since.
I think the 06 team had the talent to do it but there was too much drama surrounding the team that season.
The expansion of the SEC to 16 teams will make it more difficult. The only hope, in my opinion, is to expand the playoff system beyond the 12 teams that will be included in 2024. Sixteen is the right number to me. Right now the only way Arkansas gets into the playoffs is by winning the SEC championship game or coming out of that that game with one loss. Expansion will allow more teams in with two losses, maybe even three.
The other thing that has to happen is better recruiting. Arkansas is going to have to start landing some five stars. Their recruiting is on the upswing with the two new coordinators. They’re headed in the right direction. But they need to finish consistently in the top five in the SEC.
Coaching is the final factor. That was Frank Broyles’ strength. He hired a great staff, especially the coordinators. I like the way Sam Pittman keeps tinkering with his staff. He’s heading in the right direction.
Q. RazorAlex88 Asks: What are your thoughts on the conference realignment that has taken place in last couple years? It is so weird to think that both USC and UCLA will be in the Big 10 soon.
A. I don’t like any of it. But there’s no way to stop it. College football these days is all about TV money and you get TV money by putting high profile games on every week. The difference between college football and college basketball is simple. All you have to do is look at Arkansas under Eric Musselman. He doesn’t need conference titles to go deep into the playoffs. As I said earlier, the only way to get into the football playoffs is to finish first or maybe second in your conference. Again the answer is to use the basketball model. Expand the playoff. Sixteen or even 32 teams would be awesome IMO. The FCS does it. There’s no reason why the BCS can’t.
Q. Rzrbck wants to know: When does football camp begin and is it open to the public like the good ole days? Have company coming to town and doing entertainment planning…
A. I hope you and your company have fun but it won’t be watching football practices. Fall practices have rarely been open to the public. Certainly not these days. The media gets to watch most days for 15 or 20 minutes and that’s it.
Q. bkjacks asks: What are your thoughts on the freshman QB Singleton? I think he will get some major minutes this year.
A. Malachi Singleton really impressed me this past spring. I knew he was a good running quarterback but he’s got a good arm and makes good decisions. He throws the ball effectively on the run. But major minutes? The only way that happens is if KJ Jefferson gets hurt and Jacolby Criswell is ineffective. Hopefully none of that happens. Singleton will probably redshirt. He might get some playing time against Western Carolina, Kent State and Florida International.
Q. codeHog wants to know: How does the football field look? Do we have new grass?
A. No. You’re probably thinking about the soccer field. They just got new grass put down. A couple of years ago there was a concert at Reynolds Razorback Stadium. Garth Brooks announced they he would pay for new grass since a stage was set up on the field and there were fans all over the field. After it was over it was determined that no damage had been done so the grass was not replaced. But it looks good. Arkansas has really good grass people working for the physical plant. They keep all of the grass fields looking great.
Q. redleg says: In 2011 Joe Adams won the first annual Jet Award as the nation’s best return specialist. In 2012, the Jet Award began presenting trophies retroactively to past return specialists. They have yet to give out their award for 1964…
…..which, in my opinion should absolutely go to Ken Hatfield! What are your thoughts on this, and is there any way the UA could lobby for Hatfield to get this honor?
A. The sports information department usually lobbies for this kind of stuff so absolutely they could. When the award for the ’64 season comes up I’ll try to find out what Arkansas’ athletic department has planned. There is no question Hatfield was the best punt returner in 64. He certainly deserves that honor.
Q. robs4516 says: Coach Pittman and Kennedy have the reputation of being two of the best O Line coaches in college football. What do you think it is about their coaching that gained that distinction?
A. Pittman already had a reputation before he came to Arkansas. By the time he left for Georgia he was already considered one of the best O-line coaches in college football. But it was at Georgia where he really rose to the top which was the main reason why he got the head coaching job at Arkansas. Cody Kennedy started his career as a DII O-line coach and ended up as a grad assistant under Pittman at Georgia. He then went to Tulane and Southern Miss before ending up back with Pittman, this time at Arkansas. He was a semi-finalist for the Broyles award in 2021. Last season Arkansas had just over 3,000 yards rushing, the highest total since 2007, Darren Mc Fadden’s junior year.
What about their coaching gained distinction? They get results.
Q. HangTenHog says: We don’t really hear a lot about him these days, but I’ve always felt that Gary Anderson was a special talent at running back. Any interesting memories of his playing days?
A. The ’81 Texas-Arkansas game. Anderson played a key role in Arkansas 42-11 win over the number one Longhorns. He was a speed back, one of those guys who rarely turned the afterburners completely on but when he did it was mind blowing how fast he was.
John McDonnell talked Anderson into running in an indoor track meet just to see what he could do. Anderson took the baton on the third leg of a relay. Arkansas was dead last. He went up the high banked first turn and coming down on the backstretch he blew by everybody in the blink of an eye.
McDonnell was astonished.
Q.Brad Hodges asks: Will the wide receiver room be SEC good this season?
A. The hype is good. Isaiah Sategna has blazing speed and good hands. Andrew Armstrong, a transfer from Texas A&M Commerce, Is 6-4 with speed. Caught over a thousand yards in passes last season with 13 touchdowns.
Another transfer, Isaac TeSlaa, he’s also 6-4 with great hands. He had 1,300 yards in catches last season also with 13 touchdowns.
But these guys are all unproven in the SEC. This is one of the things I’ll be checking out the most when August camp starts. All three looked okay in the spring but Arkansas defense limited them somewhat from what I was able to see.
Q. Hogdogger says: We’ve been lucky enough to have great sportscasters. Paul Eells. Chuck Barrett. Both of these are Razorback icons but do you remember Bud Campbell? I’m pretty old so you may not have been around during those days.
A. I missed Bud Campbell by one year. He was killed in a traffic accident in 1974, ’75 was my first year covering the Hogs. However in the ’72 season I was in the Army at Ft. Rucker, living in a trailer house in a little town named Daleville. My buddy who is a Razorback fan came to visit me. It was late October and Arkansas was playing North Texas State. We had both gone to college there so we wanted to listen to the game on the radio. We figured we were out of luck being that far from Arkansas but somehow we found the game on my car radio. Bud Campbell was the announcer. Arkansas won in a blow out like 42 to something. So I am familiar with his work. He was from the golden age of play-by-play radio announcers. Those guys were so good, you felt like you were at the game watching.
Q: G-off says: I enjoyed your five part series on Dave Jorn. I’m guessing you had fun putting it together. What was the best part?
A. The sit down interview session with Jorn, Norm DeBriyn and Dave Van Horn. It was really funny. Lot’s of stories were told.
Q. Mousetown says: I saw this photo on Facebook this week taken at the Rangers Double A stadium in Frisco, Texas. Notice the cupholders. Why can’t they do something like this at Baum-Walker Stadium? Tired of holding my Diet Coke in my lap.
A. The first think I noticed about this photo is the width between the seat rows. There is more space than at Baum-Walker. That’s the only way cup holders on the backs of seats will work. As I said in a question several weeks ago about the absence of cup holders at Baum Walker, Frank Broyles had the seating from first base to third base constructed as tight as possible to get the maximum amount of noise coming from the fans. He had done this with Walton Arena and it worked. There are 19,200 seats in a space than normally seats 15,500. The only way to add cupholders at Baum-Walker would be to take out the seats and install new ones with the cupholders on the armrests. This would result in reduced seating which would change the noise level coming from the stands.
Q. Marty Byrde’s proxy asks: Which of the coaches were least and best composed after a frustrating loss? Stories?
A. I don’t know that Arkansas has had a coach in my time that lost his composure after a loss. Some, like Lou Holtz, Houston Nutt and Bobby Petrino probably showed more frustration than the others. To me that’s not a bad thing. I don’t think most fans want to see a coach who is cool, calm and collected after a frustrating loss.
What you don’t want is to feel like you’re being played. Chad Morris was the worst, by far, at that. That stuff he said after the Western Kentucky loss where he actually tried to make a case that he would be back the next season? Ridiculous. We knew he was gone. He knew he was gone.
On the other hand there was a guy like Joe Kines. He was very honest after losses. Broke down what went wrong. But you could see how that season was wearing him down. He tried to continue to coach the defense after Jack Crowe was fired while handling all the duties of a head coach and it was too much for him.
I still remember him telling us after his last game, a 30-6 win over LSU, Guys I’m exhausted. I’m going home and get some sleep. I’ll answer your questions later.

PHILLY - From Randal Cunningham to Reggie White, what's old is new for the Philadelphia Eagles' gameday fashion.
Their Kelly green uniforms from the early 1990's are back for two games this fall and are now on sale.
"Time right now is 1:39 a.m. and the store opens at 9," said Xander Burbine, who was second in line for the opening of the team's store at the Lincoln Financial Field.
"I always wanted a Kelly green jersey throwback, will be nice to have the new players in Kelly green," he said.
The team said talks for the color coming back date back to 2012. When the NFL gave teams the go-ahead to wear two different helmets last year, Kelly green returned to the team.
Jon Bruce, who drove up from Maryland, was first in line at the Link, arriving at 11:30 p.m. Sunday.
"Jerseys like that hit different for all teams but Kelly green and the Eagles, it sets another tone," he said.
"We've had 50 or so calls already this morning, at least 25-30 people coming in, looking for them already," said Warren Johnson, the manager of the Rally House at Hamilton Crossing.
He expects the new jersey to arrive Tuesday and to sell out immediately.
It would be a super business boost to a typically slow season.
Old colors are attracting younger fans, like 13-year-old Jack Jones, who wants to get a Jalen Hurts Kelly green jersey.
To score a jersey at least locally, "Come early, call to make sure we have it before you even make the trip. And we should tell you if we have it or not," Johnson said.

EASTON, Pa. - Easton City Councilwoman Taiba Sultana has been arrested for an alleged assault.
City Police tell 69 News she was charged with simple assault and harassment.
They say the charges stem from an incident of domestic violence Monday afternoon at her home involving another person who lives there.
She was set to be arraigned Monday night.
Since joining city council, Sultana has become well known for outspokenness, and that's led to her butting heads with other officials.
During a city council meeting last month, she and other members were involved in a heated argument in which she claimed other elected officials were trying to silence her voice.
That argument was sparked by a social media post from Sultana that expressed outrage over video showing the May 31 arrest of local constable Lance Wheeler. His arrest was related to alleged threats he made against three students in August 2022.
Sultana was critical of police arresting Wheeler while he was collecting donations for victims of Easton's Ferry Street fire on Memorial Day.
Other officials said Sultana unfairly criticized police for simply doing their job because there was a warrant out for Wheeler's arrest.

ALLENTOWN, Pa. - Allentown police say it's thanks to officers' quick action that the federal prisoner who escaped very briefly Sunday night was apprehended again almost immediately.
It sounds like it's straight out of a movie, but it happened right here in our backyard.
Jayshawn Flake Turner was being extradited to the Lehigh County Jail from Missouri, but just before entering, he made his escape. Just before reaching his destination, officials say fled he from the sally port -- that area that's supposed to be secured right before transfer inside.
He got as far as the old Banana Joe's nightclub before he was found.
Officials say Bethlehem police had arranged the extradition and it was carried out by a private transport company. Court papers say that company was PTS of America.
It was the Allentown Police officers who found the suspect and brought him back to jail.
Cpt. Tom Anderson with the APD tells 69 News thanks to police's quick action, they got to the area, where witnesses pointed out a couple possible locations.
"That's what we do every day," Anderson told 69 News over the phone.
Anderson says one officer looking behind the old Banana Joe's near the 300 block of Hamilton Street heard rustling in the grass. That's where he found Flake Turner, hiding in that high grass and debris, according to court paperwork.
Flake Turner was already facing charges of theft by deception and receiving stolen property.
Last October, he and another man, Eric Duessette, allegedly scammed Lowes out of $1,743.04, by taking Mastercard gift cards from the store and "deceiving" the cashier to select the cash option, when being rung up, which allowed them to make their purchases without spending any money.
Now, thanks to Flake Turner's 10 minutes of freedom, the prisoner also faces a felony count of escape as well. He's being held without bail, as he's now considered a flight risk.
Lehigh County District Attorney Jim Martin tells 69 News that Flake Turner was never a danger to the community, even while he was out.
Right now it's still unclear how it all happened. 69 News has reached out to Bethlehem police and PTS of America. Officials say both were involved in the transfer.

The Elon Musk-owned company, which has been rebranded as X, had removed the Twitter sign and iconic blue bird logo from the building last week.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A brightly flashing “X” sign has been removed from the San Francisco headquarters of the company formerly known as Twitter just days after it was installed.
The San Francisco Department of Building Inspection said Monday it received 24 complaints about the unpermitted structure over the weekend. Complaints included concerns about its structural safety and illumination.
The Elon Musk-owned company, which has been rebranded as X, had removed the Twitter sign and iconic blue bird logo from the building last week. That work was temporarily paused because the company did not have the necessary permits. For a time, the “er” at the end of “Twitter” remained up due to the abrupt halt of the sign takedown.
The city of San Francisco had opened a complaint and launched an investigation into the giant “X” sign, which was installed Friday on top of the downtown building as Musk continues his rebrand of the social media platform.
The chaotic rebrand of Twitter’s building signage is similar to the haphazard way in which the Twitter platform is being turned into X. While the X logo has replaced Twitter on many parts of the site and app, remnants of Twitter remain.
Representatives for X did not immediately respond to a message for comment Monday.

British rock band Queen are returning to Japan with the band set to play the city of Sapporo, which they last visited more than 40 years ago.
The Rhapsody tour is coming to four cities in Japan, with the concert remaining a tribute to the legacy of lead singer Freddie Mercury who died in 1991 due to complications relating to Aids.
American artist Adam Lambert will lead vocals while Sir Brian May plays the guitar and Roger Taylor performs on the drums.
Teasing that this could be the band’s last tour in Japan, Taylor said: “We are so excited to be returning to Japan, the country that has always held a special and most honoured place in our hearts.

“This may be the last time… who knows? We promise to bring a very real spectacular for you to enjoy.”
In the autumn, the band will kick-start their 22-date North American tour, which will lead into the Japan tour, starting in February 2024.
The tour will begin on February 4 in Nagoya, with the band going on to perform in Osaka on February 7, Sapporo on February 10 and finishing with two shows at the Tokyo Dome on February 13-14.
The band last played at Sapporo, capital of the Japanese island of Hokkaido, during the Hot Space tour of 1982.
The country is a regular feature on Queen’s touring schedule and the band and Lambert returned to the country in 2020 to perform four sold-out shows.
We've got some additional dates for you! Tickets on sale now for the new #RhapsodyTour shows with @QueenWillRock ✨ Get yours at https://t.co/9TdzFPklHD 🎟️ pic.twitter.com/sIXgMhPgqe — ADAM LAMBERT (@adamlambert) April 7, 2023
Speaking about the performances, Lambert said: “The Japan shows back in 2020 were so much fun, the audience were incredible. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to come back. Can’t wait.”
Decorating the Rhapsody tour setlist is a back catalogue of hits which include We Will Rock You, Don’t Stop Me Now and Radio Ga Ga.
Alongside Lambert, May and Taylor, Spike Edney will perform on keys, with Neil Fairclough on bass guitar and Tyler Warren on percussion.
Tickets for the Rhapsody tour go on pre-sale for Japanese customers from August 10 at to October 6, with tickets awarded lottery-style.

Canary guest author and Brighton University staff member Kathryn Zacharek reflects on graduation season at the beleaguered institution

Graduation season at Brighton University, and in higher education overall, is usually a time for celebration. It’s the perfect way to round off the academic year: universities coming together to congratulate the graduating class on their hard work and successes.
Unfortunately for the graduating students in the class of 2023, this jovial mood is tainted. They started their degrees in the midst of a global pandemic and transitioning to online teaching. Then, intermittent strikes from the University and College Union (UCU) followed – and now they’re in the midst of a national marking and assessment boycott (MAB). So, the class of 2023 has been extremely unlucky.
However, at Brighton University, the sentiment among staff and students is one of outrage.
Brighton University redundancies: effectively sacking respected staff
As the Canary has been documenting, Brighton University management has been intent on forcing through redundancies. Around 80 of these have been voluntary. However, bosses are forcing out 25 professors.
On a personal note, discovering who has been selected by management for compulsory redundancy has been heartbreaking.
Those due to be sacked include Dr Tom Bunyard and Dr Cathy Bergin, with whom I have had the privilege of working with in lectures and seminars. Tom and Cathy’s expertise (philosophy and critical theory, and cultural histories of anti-racism and anti-colonialism, respectively) are integral to Brighton’s celebrated and longstanding humanities department. Both academics are well respected among their colleagues.
After years of hard work and dedication to their students, how senior management is treating them is simply abhorrent. It is also the height of hypocrisy that an institution which prides itself on its equality, diversity and inclusion policies wants to sack an anti-racism scholar. However, we are keeping the momentum going on our campaign. We are committed to defending the jobs of our colleagues and the quality of education for our students.
Read on...
No accountability or support from management
For post-graduate researchers (PGRs), this has been an incredibly difficult time. Those who have lost their supervisors have been forced into the over-bureaucratic process of finding a replacement. The ‘support package’ that management promised PGRs will only apply to those who have lost supervisors.
PGRs have informed me about supervisors having to take extended sick leave due to chronic stress. However, under the support package guidelines the university will not agree to an extension. We still have no idea when the new academic year will start because of the indefinite strike. Even when it does begin, we are faced with the prospect of our supervisors being overworked with unsustainable workloads. We are stuck in limbo.
The university management team fails to acknowledge how the redundancy process has hindered all PhD researchers. Its lack of accountability has only made the stress and uncertainty of the situation worse. We have dealt with consistent stonewalling and silence for the last few months. PhD researcher Maia Brons told the Canary:
The way senior management team (SMT) have communicated through this all has been incredibly disappointing, and at times terrifying. Disappointing in the sense that vice chancellor (VC) Debra Humphris has not addressed us a single time since all this started, and time for questions or concerns with other SMT has been limited to two online sessions, which left us feeling deflated and more concerned than ever. Terrifying how all our concerns have been either ignored or met with “Out of Office” automatic replies. It is clear as day that many forms of education, not to mention staff morale and educational quality, will be wrecked after the summer, and it is frankly heartbreaking that SMT continues to deny this. It is frightening to have to think how far management will go along this path of managed decline. I personally feel that a lot of time and the quality of my PhD have already been robbed since all this started, and thus far, there has been no accountability from the university to make up for this.
Brighton and solidarity: two words that go well together
In the last couple of weeks, there has been no shortage of action from the Brighton UCU branch, and the campaigns UoB Solidarity and PGR’s Brighton. Branch secretary of Brighton UCU Dr Ryan Burns told the Canary:
In the last week, UCU pickets in Brighton have been visited by Caroline Lucas MP, Lloyd- Russell Moyle MP and Jo Grady, UCU general secretary. They all expressed their shock at the punitive actions of the University of Brighton management and support for our strike action. With UCU recently declaring Brighton’s redundancy situation “a dispute of national significance”, our fight has the backing of the whole union. The announcement of a global academic boycott of the University of Brighton will add further pressure to management. The VC is clearly feeling the heat. She failed to attend most of this year’s graduation ceremonies and instead instructed some of her deputies to face the public. She will presumably be relieved that she stayed away: the scenes at graduations this week, including students spontaneously chanting ‘pay your workers‘ and ‘no cuts’, made it obvious to everyone that our students support our fight. Students blame the university management for the fact that hundreds of graduates received only fake ‘pending’ degree certificates due to work not being marked under the national MAB.
Graduation Protests
Dr Jenna Allsopp graduated with a PhD in Humanities. She protested during her graduation ceremony by holding up a sign that read ‘Solidarity with the Brighton 25’. Allsopp told the Canary:
I wanted to attend my graduation to enjoy my achievement with my friends, peers and colleagues, but I know the ceremony couldn’t go ahead as if nothing happened at Brighton University over the last months. I protested the horror show that was the redundancies process and the knock-on effect this has had on students’ education. I originally wanted to personally attack Debra Humphris on my banner but instead settled on a simple message of solidarity for the 25 tutors who are to lose their jobs and have bore the brunt of this brutal and distressing attack on education. A lecturer came up to me afterwards to say thank you. So, I’m glad I went through with it, though I was really nervous.
Scenes such as the ones described at graduation ceremonies are not unique to Brighton.
The University of Edinburgh students ripped the apology letters the university gave them instead of finalised degrees. Students at Sussex University handed out fake money with their vice chancellors face edited on. Manchester and Sheffield University are trying to appease students by dishing out £500 in compensation to those who are graduating without finding out their actual degree grades. But students have called this ‘laughable’ and ‘not worth it’.
It is evident that students are not buying the narrative that management teams are doing all they can to resolve the dispute and get their grades finalised. If bosses want to ensure students get their grades, they must pay their staff properly, improve working conditions, and call on the Universities and Colleges Employers Association (UCEA) to negotiate with UCU. It is that simple.
Boycott Brighton University
The biggest development recently is general secretary of the UCU Jo Grady confirming its Higher Education Committee has decided to grey list Brighton University until further notice. This is not a decision that is taken lightly, as what makes Brighton University brilliant is the network that the staff have developed with national and international institutions. But, during such unprecedented times we are asking all UCU members (as well as members of other unions), national and international scholars to do the following things; or rather, do not:
Apply for jobs advertised at Brighton University.
Speak or take part in academic conferences or other conferences organised at Brighton outside of your contract.
Accept new invitations to give lectures at Brighton.
Take positions as visiting professors or researchers at Brighton.
Accept invitations outside of your contract to produce research articles with Brighton or any new contracts for external examiners.
Collaborate on any new contracts with projects at Brighton.
As staff are still facing punitive deductions of 100% from their pay slips for taking part in the MAB, we are still fundraising for staff and campaign materials. If you can afford it, you can donate to our solidarity fund here.

DUBLIN, July 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) Meets Healthcare - New Prescription" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
This report delves into the world of generative AI and its transformative potential in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries.

The sense of urgency weighs differently across different sectors, where the direct customer-facing sectors are at the forefront compared to other capital-intensive sectors. Companies in one sector can take cues from successful innovations in other sectors to either draw analogies with existing products, services, and processes or transfer strategic approaches for a revolutionary transformation.
Against this backdrop, enterprises need to understand which emerging technologies are impacting their sector and how various companies are implementing them to meet various challenges.
The innovation landscape report on pharma and healthcare innovations in generative AI, released by the publisher as part of an ongoing series, covers some real-world examples to advance the development and implementation of the technology by some of the key enterprises in the pharma and healthcare sector.

Market Dynamics
Key Sanitizer Market Driver
The increase in hygiene consciousness is notably driving the market growth. Hand sanitizer, containing alcohol or persistent antiseptic, is recommended when soap and water are scarce. It effectively kills various bacteria, including antibiotic-resistant bacteria and tuberculosis. Research shows that hand sanitizer is more effective than hand washing against the common cold. Thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting food contact surfaces is crucial to prevent harmful microorganisms from contaminating food. Younger generations and high-income individuals have a positive perception of disinfectants due to access to information and purchasing capabilities. Growing awareness of hygiene benefits has led to increased demand for disinfectant products like hand sanitizers and food contact surface sanitizers, driving market growth during the forecast period.
Significant Sanitizer Market Trends
Rising demand from developing regions is an emerging trend shaping market growth. Disinfection practices in rural areas of developing regions like APAC, MEA, and South America are limited due to lower awareness among the population. However, urban populations in countries like India, China, Japan, Mexico, and Brazil are growing due to improved job opportunities, leading to increased disposable income and improved living standards. With more working women, household income has risen, allowing consumers to afford basic necessities and luxuries. Vendors are targeting these regions to tap into the growing market by using advertising campaigns to educate customers about the importance of disinfection. As a result, the adoption of disinfectants is increasing in developing regions, driving the global disinfectant market during the forecast period.
Major Sanitizer Market Challenge
Health risks associated with sanitizers are major challenges hindering the market growth. The use of hand sanitizer is associated with various health risks, mainly due to the presence of triclosan. Triclosan, a common ingredient in hand sanitizers and other cleaning products, can lead to antibiotic resistance by killing beneficial bacteria. Moreover, triclosan found in clothing, toys, and furniture may negatively impact immune system function and hormone regulation. This disruption in the immune system can make individuals more susceptible to allergies and harmful chemicals. Additionally, most hand sanitizers contain high levels of ethyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol, which can be harmful if ingested, especially for children. The increasing research on the potential harm caused by hand sanitizers may hinder the market growth during the forecast period.

SHANGHAI, July 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Everest Medicines (HKEX 1952.HK, "Everest", or the "Company"), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development, manufacturing and commercialization of innovative medicines and vaccines, announced today the completion of patient enrollment for the China open-label extension (cOLE) of the Phase 3 NefIgArd study. The cOLE study offers an additional 9 months of treatment with Nefecon® to all qualifying patients who have completed the NefIgArd study and will evaluate the efficacy and safety of extended and repeated Nefecon® treatment in patients with IgA Nephropathy (IgAN).
The Phase 3 NefIgArd clinical trial is a randomized, double-blind, multicenter study which assessed the efficacy and safety of Nefecon® versus placebo on a background of optimized RAS inhibitor therapy. The study met its primary endpoint, with Nefecon® demonstrating a highly statistically significant benefit over placebo (p value < 0.0001) in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) over the two-year period of 9-months of treatment with Nefecon® or placebo and 15-months of off drug follow-up. Patients in the cOLE study will continue on RAS inhibitor therapy (ACEs and/or ARBs) and be treated for 9 months with Nefecon® at 16mg/day. At the end of the treatment period, change in eGFR and urine protein to creatinine ratio (UPCR) will be evaluated.
"The results of the cOLE study will offer insight into the value of extended and repeated use of Nefecon® and provide very important guidance for doctors in clinical practice," said Rogers Yongqing Luo, Chief Executive Officer of Everest Medicines.
The China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) accepted Everest's New Drug Application (NDA) for Nefecon® for the treatment of IgAN in November 2022. The NMPA has also granted Nefecon® break-through therapy designation and NDA priority review. Nefecon® was the first non-oncology drug to receive break-through therapy designation in China.
About Nefecon®
Nefecon® is a patented oral, delayed release formulation of budesonide, a corticosteroid with potent glucocorticoid activity and weak mineralocorticoid activity that undergoes substantial first pass metabolism. The formulation is designed as a delayed release capsule that is enteric coated so that it remains intact until it releases budesonide to the distal ileum. Each capsule contains coated beads of budesonide that target mucosal B-cells present in the ileum where the disease originates, as per the predominant pathogenesis models.
In June 2019, Everest Medicines entered into an exclusive, royalty-bearing license agreement with Calliditas, which gives Everest Medicines exclusive rights to develop and commercialize Nefecon® in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and Singapore. The agreement was extended in March 2022 to include South Korea as part of Everest Medicine's territories.
Nefecon® was approved in the United States under accelerated approval based on a reduction in proteinuria. Recently announced topline results from the global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 clinical trial NefIgArd demonstrated a statistically significant benefit for Nefecon® over placebo in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), a measure of renal function.

Market Dynamics
Key Sanitizer Market Driver
The increase in hygiene consciousness is notably driving the market growth. Hand sanitizer, containing alcohol or persistent antiseptic, is recommended when soap and water are scarce. It effectively kills various bacteria, including antibiotic-resistant bacteria and tuberculosis. Research shows that hand sanitizer is more effective than hand washing against the common cold. Thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting food contact surfaces is crucial to prevent harmful microorganisms from contaminating food. Younger generations and high-income individuals have a positive perception of disinfectants due to access to information and purchasing capabilities. Growing awareness of hygiene benefits has led to increased demand for disinfectant products like hand sanitizers and food contact surface sanitizers, driving market growth during the forecast period.
Significant Sanitizer Market Trends
Rising demand from developing regions is an emerging trend shaping market growth. Disinfection practices in rural areas of developing regions like APAC, MEA, and South America are limited due to lower awareness among the population. However, urban populations in countries like India, China, Japan, Mexico, and Brazil are growing due to improved job opportunities, leading to increased disposable income and improved living standards. With more working women, household income has risen, allowing consumers to afford basic necessities and luxuries. Vendors are targeting these regions to tap into the growing market by using advertising campaigns to educate customers about the importance of disinfection. As a result, the adoption of disinfectants is increasing in developing regions, driving the global disinfectant market during the forecast period.
Major Sanitizer Market Challenge
Health risks associated with sanitizers are major challenges hindering the market growth. The use of hand sanitizer is associated with various health risks, mainly due to the presence of triclosan. Triclosan, a common ingredient in hand sanitizers and other cleaning products, can lead to antibiotic resistance by killing beneficial bacteria. Moreover, triclosan found in clothing, toys, and furniture may negatively impact immune system function and hormone regulation. This disruption in the immune system can make individuals more susceptible to allergies and harmful chemicals. Additionally, most hand sanitizers contain high levels of ethyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol, which can be harmful if ingested, especially for children. The increasing research on the potential harm caused by hand sanitizers may hinder the market growth during the forecast period.

UTICA - An impressive season reached its conclusion for Ilion Post on Sunday with a second loss in double-elimination play at New York's junior division American Legion state baseball tournament.
Ilion Post (21-2) was beaten 5-4 by Binghamton Post in the tournament's first elimination game at Murnane Field. Trailing by two runs as it batted for the last time, Ilion Post scored once, advanced the tying run to second base and had him running to third when the final strike was called to end the game.
"We've got to come up with more clutch hits when we have opportunities," Ilion Post and Central Valley Academy coach Eric Moreau said. "When we don't, good teams are going to beat you."
Ilion Post scored first Sunday and did so early - leadoff hitter Connor Dempsey singled, stole a base and scored on a hit by pitcher Pace Ludwig in the top of the first inning - and later took a 2-1 lead after Binghamton Post had tied the score. Dempsey drove Jake Miller home with his second hit in the fourth inning after Miller had drawn a walk to start the inning and Brody Vogel walked with one out.

Both teams had been shut out in their first tournament games, and Binghamton Post did not take its first lead until the fifth inning Sunday. Jimmy Fitzgerald looped a single over the reach of Dempsey with one out and Ludwig hit the next Binghamton Post batter. A fielder's choice left Binghamton Post with runners at first and third bases with two outs. Dom Bernthon's single drove in the tying run and two more scored when Liam Kozel followed with a double to left field.
Each team scored once in the sixth inning. Dempsey reached base on a force play, advanced on a balk and scored on a Luca Skinner single to pull Ilion back within one run in the top of the inning; Fitzgerald's run-scoring single made it a two-run game again heading into the seventh.
Logan Judd led off the top of the seventh with a single and Jeffrey Chase ran for him. A ground out and a strikeout had Ilion Post down to its final out with a runner at second base when Calvin Jacquays singled and Chase scored.
Jacquays stole second base and was on his way to third when a called third strike ended the game.
The two strikeouts in the seventh inning were the ninth and 10th of the game for Ilion Post which also drew seven walks while outhitting Binghamton Post 8-6. Ilion Post had left the bases loaded without scoring on another inning-ending strikeout in the third.
"It was a great season," said Moreau whose team is made up of players either returning to his high school team next spring or moving up to the varsity level. "Unfortunately we couldn't get a win here at the state tournament but this is much better competition (than the regular season)."
Ludwig pitched a complete game and had two hits for Ilion Post. Dempsey also had two hits and scored two runs. Brady Moreau reached base twice with a pair of walks while Skinner and Judd each had a hit and a walk.
Fitzgerald and Kozel each had two hits for Binghamton Post.
Ilion and Binghamton posts were playing the first of three rescheduled game after rain washed out the Saturday schedule. The Leo Laders Post-sponsored Rockford Pirates defeated Plattsburgh's Clinton County Mariners 10-0 in the winners bracket semifinal - both mercy rule winners in Friday's first round games - and Binghamton Post advanced to the finals with an 8-7 victory.
Championship-round play starts Monday at 10 a.m. with a second game to be played, if Binghamton Post defeats Rockland in the first. Rockland needs only one victory.
Ilion Post had gone 16-0 during a perfect regular season then ran off five more wins at the District V tournament to earn its place in the state tournament.

LITTLE FALLS - The Mohawk Valley DiamondDawgs live to play another day after a dramatic finish to what appeared to be an otherwise easy win Sunday in the first round of the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League playoffs.
The DiamondDawgs, seeded third in the East Division, defeated the Glens Falls Dragons 8-5 at home at Veterans Memorial Park and travel to Utica Monday for another one-game playoff against the No. 2 Blue Sox at Murnane Field.
The majority of Sunday's game was not as close as the final score indicated. George Washington University left-hander Colton Trisch pitched seven scoreless innings and the DiamondDawgs led 8-0 entering the top of the ninth inning.

Marco Siracusa, the third Mohawk Valley pitcher, did not retire a batter and was pulled after four having allowed Glens Falls to score its first run and load the bases. Chris Palmer was next and the rally continued for the Dragons. Jack Griffin, the first batter to face Palmer, delivered a sacrifice fly and the second Glens Falls run; pinch hitter Joe Harwood followed with a single to drive home another run and Palmer hit the second batter of the inning to re-load the bases with one out. Michael Pratte hit into a fielder's choice and drove home another run before Anthony Macarelli doubled to left-center; one run scored and Pratte, running from first base, tried to follow Harwood home on the play.
Racing the throw from left fielder Nick Sturino, Pratte avoided catcher Mitchell Balint's tag but also missed the plate. Pratte scrambled back to touch the plate but was tagged for the final out as he reached for his target.
Singles by Pratte and Cory Listing in the second and third innings and Nick Marola in the eighth had been the Dragons only hits before Alex Sandell started the ninth with a double and scored when Johan Sandoval followed with a single.
Trisch had not previously pitched past the fifth inning this summer. He allowed two hits and walked four batters while striking out five. The DiamondDawgs supported him with a run to take the lead in the first inning and three each in the second and fourth innings.
Justin Hackett and Jaden Ross, the eighth and ninth batters for Mohawk Valley, each had two of the eight hits for the DiamondDawgs and Brady Shannon homered in the second inning. Hackett, Shannon and Sturino each scored two runs while Shannon and Ross each drove in two.
Saugerties beat Albany 5-3 in Sunday's other East Division game and earned Albany's Dutchmen a crack at top seed Amsterdam Monday.
In the West Division, Auburn upset No. 1 Batavia and plays on the road again Monday at No. 2 Elmira. Monday's winner gets one day off before the league's next-of-three championship series.

LITTLE FALLS - Rain ended the regular season a little earlier than expected for several Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League teams but is not expected to delay Sunday's start of postseason play.
The Mohawk Valley DiamondDawgs and Utica Blue Sox had been scheduled to play a doubleheader in Little Falls Saturday but cut it back to a single game after Utica clinched second place in the East Division with Friday's win in Watertown. The single game still planned for Dairy Night at Veterans Memorial Park was later one of five cancellations with seven games on the league schedule.
The East Division will play a pay of divisional quarterfinals Sunday while the West will jump directly to its semifinals. With an unbalanced divisional alignment this year - nine teams in the East and seven in the West - the PGCBL opted to take six playoff teams for the East Division and four for the the West.
More:Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League results and highlights for 2023 season
Utica (28-13) and first place Amsterdam (36-5-1), the defending league champion, have byes in the East and will host semifinals Monday. Mohawk Valley (26-17) hosts the Glens Falls Dragons (14-26) in one Sunday quarterfinal while the Saugerties Stallions (23-17-1) will play at home against the Albany Dutchmen (21-20).
The only two games that were played Saturday allowed the Batavia Muckdogs (27-16) to overtake Elmira's Pioneers (27-17-1) for the West Division's No. 1 seed and the Auburn Doubledays (23-19) to grab the final playoff spot from the Niagara Power (22-19-2). Auburn travels to Batavia for one semifinal Sunday and Elmira hosts the Jamestown Tarp Skunks (23-18-1) in the other.
Mohawk Valley enters the playoffs off a two-day break, having had a scheduled off day Friday. The DiamondDawgs had a nine-game win streak early in the season and ran second in the division for a large portion of the summer; they were 13-4 after sweeping a doubleheader against Oneonta June 23 and 18-10 following a July 8 win over Boonville. They won four of their final five regular season games after being swept by Utica July 21.
Glens Falls has lost 13 of its last 16 games. The DiamondDawgs defeated the Dragons in three of five meetings during the regular season.
The winner of Sunday's 6:35 p.m game in Little Falls will likely play in Utica Monday at Murnane Field against the Blue Sox who are 19-3 in July. The Blue Sox swept two meetings with Glens Falls this season, shutting out the Dragons twice by a combined 24-0 score. Utica and Mohawk Valley split six decisions during the regular season and had four games rained out, including two scheduled as doubleheaders to make up other cancellations; the Blue Sox won12-3 and 7-2 July 21, the only time the teams played in Utica.
Saugerties went 6-2 against Albany during the regular season.
Amsterdam started the season with nine consecutive wins and was 25-1 through July 5. The Mohawks split two early season games with Mohawk Valley, the only team to beat them in June, and did not lose more than one game against any team this summer; they did have a loss and a tie against Saugerties, and they lost one game against each of the other East Division playoff teams except Glens Falls.
Amsterdam has also won six of the 11 PGCBL championships since the league broke off from the New York Collegiate Baseball League for the 2011 season. Mohawk Valley is the only other team with multiple championships. Current East Division teams have won nine of the last 10 championships.
Among the individual standouts heading into the playoffs are DiamondDawg Mitchell Balint, a catcher from Carson-Newman University who tied Amsterdam's Luke Longo (New Jersey Institute of Technology) for the league lead with 42 runs batted in, one more than Utica's Will Shannon from Hillsdale College.
Amsterdam's Cam Gurney, a late arrival from the University of Utah, won the league's batting title at .426 with Saugerties' Andrew Amato also topping .400 (.415).
Amato, a Blue Hen from the University of Delaware, led the league with 13 home runs, seven more than any other player.
Tyler Sausville, an Amsterdam left-hander from Colonie and the University of New Haven, led the league with six pitching wins; he posted a 1.60 ERA and one shutout in six starts.
Three pitchers had five wins, including Amsterdam teammate Evan Siary from Mississippi State University and DiamondDawg Colin Dowlen from Seton Hall University.
Jacob Phillips, a Boonville Lumberjack from Guilford College, struck out nine batters Friday and led the league with 59, one more than Aidan Colagrande, a left-handed reliever for the DiamondDawgs from Fairfield University.
Elmira's Gardner Meeks, a right-handed pitcher from Roanoke College, won the ERA title at 1.00 with Siary second at 1.30.

The quick action of RNLI crews has been praised after two separate distress calls from paddleboarders in one day.
Skegness Inshore Lifeboat.
A young boy and his grandfather who had drifted a considerable distance from the shore resulted the first call at 12.34pm on Saturday.
Upon arriving on the scene, it was discovered that the paddleboarders had been struggling against the offshore breeze.

This launch was commanded by Craig Hopkins, assisted by crew Ryan Speed and Martin Stokes.
Senior Lifeguard Liam entered the water on a rescue board while Eloise coordinated the launch of Skegness ILB by calling Humber Coastguard. Lifeguard Lily kept her eyes on the flagged zone during the incident.
The RNLI Skegness lifeboat crew swiftly reached the pair aboard their inshore lifeboat (ILB). The boy was rescued first and given initial casualty care assessments on board the ILB before being transferred to East Midlands Ambulance Service waiting ashore. Meanwhile, the RNLI lifeguards on duty assisted the grandfather back to the beach.
Skegness RNLI Lifeboat Station Helm Martin Stokes emphasised the importance of swift action in such scenarios. “If you are in trouble or see someone else in danger, don't hesitate to raise the alarm,” he advised. “It's also crucial to remember not to use inflatables, especially in an offshore breeze. The sea is unpredictable and can quickly turn a fun day into a potentially dangerous situation.”

The second call occurred at 2.43pm, reporting two more paddleboarders off Vickers Point in Ingoldmells. Despite dealing with crowded beaches and swimmers in the area, the crew arrived at the scene within eight minutes. Both individuals were found on the beach; one suffering from chest pains and requiring immediate medical attention.
The RNLI crew provided initial medical care until the Coastguard Rescue Team and Ambulance Service arrived. Martin Stokes commanded this launch, assisted by crew Ryan Speed and James Porter.
The on-duty Deputy Launching Authority, Brad Johnson, praised his fellow volunteers' exemplary work on this busy day. '”The offshore breeze presented challenging conditions, but our crew navigated them skillfully and efficiently,” he said. “Their dedication ensured the swift and safe rescue of these individuals. I am proud to work alongside such a committed team.”

Tokyo [Japan], August 1 (ANI): A man, who attacked passengers on a crowded Tokyo train on Halloween night in 2021 while dressed as a Joker, was given a 23-year prison term on Monday, reported Kyodo News.
The Tachikawa branch of the Tokyo District Court determined that Kyota Hattori (26) stabbed an elderly man in the chest with a knife and also attempted to kill 10 other passengers on a Keio Line train at 8 pm on October 31, 2021, by spreading lighter fluid around and lighting it, as per Kyodo News.

Kyodo News is a Japan-based leading news agency which publishes news from Japan and other parts of the world.
The attempted arson murder of 12 passengers was alleged by the prosecution, who sought a sentence of 25 years in jail.

President Judge Yu Takeshita said in handing down the ruling, “There remains a reasonable doubt that (the two) were at a place where their lives may have been in danger.”
Hattori and his defence team acknowledged stabbing someone and starting a fire, but they disputed the number of passengers in danger.
His declared intention was to kill randomly, according to the prosecution, and they claimed that "his motive was extremely selfish and deserving of strong condemnation."
According to the report, the man who had been stabbed was briefly in serious condition and needed care for his wound for around three months, according to Kyodo News.
Hattori said throughout the trial that he wanted to commit a killing spree in order to be executed since he believed his life to be useless.
He said that a similar random knife assault on an Odakyu Electric Railway commuter train in August of the same year, in which a guy stabbed three passengers, served as motivation for his conduct.
On July 14, the assailant was sentenced to 19 years in prison, Kyodo News reported. (ANI)

The appointment of the interim PM will be carried out according to the procedure laid down in the Constitution, both in letter and spirit," the minister said in a tweet.
"PM Shehbaz Sharif will consult with all ally parties in the government and will obtain guidance from PMLN Quaid Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, to identify the most suitable candidate. After consulting with allies, the PM will consult with the Leader of the Opposition to make a decision on the matter, as per the Constitution," she added.

Bismarck (US), Aug 1 (AP) Two pipeline operators have agreed to pay a USD 12.5 million civil penalty related to crude oil spills in Montana and North Dakota.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Monday announced the settlement in a 2022 federal court lawsuit. Belle Fourche Pipeline Company and Bridger Pipeline LLC will pay the $12.5 million to resolve the claims made under the Clean Water Act and Pipeline Safety Laws, the EPA said. The affiliated companies own and operate oil pipelines in Montana, North Dakota and Wyoming.

In 2015, Bridger's Poplar Pipeline broke and spilled more than 50,000 gallons (about 190,000 liters) of crude into the Yellowstone River near Glendive, Montana. Bridger has completed cleanup of the site, and in 2021 settled a lawsuit with federal and Montana authorities for USD 2 million. Montana's Department of Environmental Quality previously fined Bridger USD 1 million in the case.
In 2016, Belle Fourche's Bicentennial Pipeline in Billings County, North Dakota, broke due to a landslide and spilled over 600,000 gallons (about 2.3 million liters) of oil, impacting an unnamed tributary, Ash Coulee Creek and the Little Missouri River. Belle Fourche's cleanup is ongoing with oversight from North Dakota's Department of Environmental Quality, according to the EPA.

The agreement announced Monday does not resolve all issues with the Ash Coulee spill and reserves the government's right to bring future legal claims.
The USD 12.5 million civil penalty includes a nearly $4.6 million portion for North Dakota's Department of Environmental Quality. Belle Fourche also will pay the state's past response costs, totaling over $98,000, according to court documents filed Monday.
“Oil pipeline spills can cause enormous and long-lasting damage to the environment,” Principal Deputy Assistant Administrator Larry Starfield of the EPA's Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance said in a statement.
“This settlement holds Belle Fourche and Bridger Pipeline accountable for their significant oil spills and requires them to take meaningful measures to prevent future spills from their oil pipelines.”
The operators also are required to implement specified compliance measures, in addition to the civil penalty.
Belle Fourche and Bridger are owned by Wyoming-based True Companies.
Bridger spokesman Bill Salvin said the operators have completed all remediation actions “to date” required by North Dakota's Department of Environmental Quality and “will work closely” with the department if further action is required. Future soil testing remains, Salvin said.
He said the operators have made upgrades to their pipeline network to enhance safety, including a new control center at their Casper, Wyoming, headquarters and a new leak detection system powered by artificial intelligence. (AP)

Tarouba [Trinidad and Tobago], August 1 (ANI): Ahead of the third ODI match and series decider against West Indies, Indian spinner Ravindra Jadeja said that this is the only series where the Indian team can do experiments before the Asia Cup and World Cup.
After WI clinched the second one-day game by 6 wickets to level the series to 1-1, India will play the final match of the three-match series at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Tarouba on Tuesday.

In the pre-match interaction, Jadeja said, “This is the only series before the Asia Cup and World Cup that we can do experiments and change the combination. We cannot do many experiments in the World Cup and Asia Cup."
In the previous match, the Indian team was captained by Hardik Pandya as Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli did not play the match. India went with a fresh opening pair of Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill.

When asked about the exclusion of two key players from the previous match, Jadeja said, "We are trying different things and combinations as this is the time that we can try different batting orders."
"It is on management and the captain knows what combination they want to go with, so there is no confusion on this," he continued.
Indian bowlers failed to defend a low target of 182 as West Indies Captain Shai Hope's 50 provided a 6-wicket victory to the Caribbeans in the second ODI of the three-match series in Barbados on Sunday. Ishan Kishan was the only half-centurion for India to guide the visitors to 181 in 40.5 overs.
"We did not lose because we tried different combinations, sometimes we try something and the wicket conditions changed from the first half to the second half. One loss will not create confusion or doubt," Jadeja said.
"I personally want to play as many games and every match teaches you something. But if team would request to see a new player then obviously I will do that. It is a team game," he further added.
The Indian spinner praised West Indies' young side and said that they can learn from India to get better.
"West Indies are a young team, they are learning, and they are getting better. The more they play, they will get better. They have a good talent. I am sure they will learn from the Indian team. They have a good future," Jadeja said.
"Every player is working hard, no one is taking things for granted. Whenever they are given an opportunity, they are giving their 100%. These questions raise only when India loses. No one is arrogant," he concluded. (ANI)

Washington, D.C [US], August 1 (ANI): The United States on Monday (local time) said that it would not hesitate to impose sanctions on North Korea and Russia when necessary as they have already done it in the past a number of times.
The US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller's remarks came in response to a question about the Russian defence minister's recent trip to Pyongyang.

"I am not going to speak in any more detail but will say that we have imposed a number of sanctions on North Korea in the past for various activities. We have also imposed sanctions on a no of entities and individuals around the world for assisting Russia in its war effort. We would not hesitate to do so in the future," Matthew Miller said during a regular State Dept briefing on Monday (local time).
Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu visited North Korea last week for celebrations of the 70th anniversary of the armistice that ended the Korean War, which is known as Victory Day there.

Matthew Miller also emphasised that the close ties between Pyongyang and Moscow have "not exactly been productive" for the world's security.
He said, "Obviously, there has been a close relationship between those two countries for a while...when that's not exactly been productive to increasing the security of the world, I wouldn't expect that to change as a result of this meeting."
"I would certainly say that it did not appear that Defence Minister Shoigu was in Russia for vacation," the State Dept spokesperson, Miller said on the Russian Defence Minister's Pyongyang visit.
Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu arrived in Pyongyang on Tuesday last week for a three-day visit to attend commemorative events marking one of the North's key anniversaries on July 27, which the North refers to as Victory Day, Yonhap reported.
Despite maintaining strict border restrictions since 2020 to contain the pandemic, the reclusive state has invited delegations from China and Russia, which share strong ties with the North, in a rare invitation of official foreign guests since the COVID-19 breakout.
North Korea has been strengthening its ties with Russia despite international condemnation of Moscow's war with Ukraine, amid allegations that Pyongyang has provided arms to Moscow for use in the war, Yonhap reported.
During Shoigu's visit, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un introduced weapons the North has produced under its national defence development plan and shared his views on the "worldwide trend of weaponry development and its strategy" and the security agenda facing the two countries. (ANI)

New Delhi [India], August 1 (ANI): Ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, a meeting of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) MPs concluded on Monday in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh. MPs from Jharkhand, Odisha and West Bengal were present at the meeting. In the meeting, a target was set to make India more developed in the next 25 years and to win maximum seats in the coming Lok Sabha elections.
BJP MP Sukanta Majumdar while talking to ANI said, "Today there was a meeting of NDA MPs from Jharkhand, West Bengal and Odisha. Two videos related to each state were shown in the meeting, in one video development works done by the central govt in these states were shown and in the second video corruption done by these state governments was shown...Through this video, it was shown how development works were being done in non-BJP-ruled states with the help of the central government."

"PM Modi said that we have to win more seats this time and make India a developed country in the next 25 years...," Majumdar added.
MP Sukanta Majumdar said that during the UPA, 32 per cent of the central government tax collection was given to Bengal, but after the Modi government came, it was increased from 32 to 42 per cent.

He told that there was no discussion on the strategy of the opposition in the meeting. Along with this, he expressed confidence in the formation of Narendra Modi's government for the third time in a row.
In the meeting, a video featuring development plans done by the NDA government in West Bengal in 9 years and a video of the violence in West Bengal was also played. "During the meeting, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that till now the name of UPA was associated with the corrupt policy of the UPA government such as 2G, 3G, Coalgate, jijaji scams, so now its name had been changed to I.N.D.I.A. They were not able to carry forward the name UPA so it was renamed as I.N.D.I.A. Now I.N.D.I.A is the second form of UPA and it has been made only to mislead the public," Majumdar said.
With only a few months left for the Lok Sabha elections, the meeting of the NDA group is crucial in many ways. The NDA meetings are scheduled to run from July 31 to August 10. The Lok Sabha elections and the strength of the NDA were discussed in the meeting. While giving the mantra of victory in the Lok Sabha elections, PM Narendra Modi directed the MPs to visit their constituencies as much as possible and make the public aware of the achievements of the central government.
"PM Modi said that many development works have been carried out across the country by the NDA government, including the non-BJP-ruled states. It was shown through the video presentation how the states have progressed during the NDA government as compared to the UPA. The video also showed that for the first time, an underwater metro is being built in Bengal," said the Bengal BJP chief.
The corruption and scams done by the governments in all three states of West Bengal, Jharkhand and Odisha was presented through the video, Majumdar added.
In the meeting, PM Modi also asked all MPs to be "active" and "communicate directly" with the voters ahead of the 2024 polls."All MPs have to be active. We have to communicate directly with the public and tell the achievements of the government," PM Modi said.
The meeting which lasted for around one and a half hours featured some presentations by the NDA MPs.
The next meeting would be held on August 2 for Uttar Pradesh (Kashi, Gorakhpur and Awadh), Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala, Puducherry, Andaman and Nicobar and Lakshadweep.
After that another meeting would be held on August 3- Bihar, Delhi, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Chandigarh, Haryana, Uttarakhand, Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.
The meeting on August 8 will be for Rajasthan, Maharashtra and Goa.
On August 9 meeting would be for Madhya Pradesh and Chattisgarh, Gujarat, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu. Two clusters each day meeting Northeast cluster yet to be decided. (ANI)

It grants the federal government the right, on the advice of the army chief, to keep any army member obligated to serve until age 60 in unusual circumstances. The bill also urges people to abstain from all political participation for a period of two years following their retirement, release, resignation, discharge, removal, or dismissal from their positions of employment.
Moreover, for a period of five years following the date of their retirement, anyone who was still posted, employed, seconded, tasked, or otherwise tied to sensitive duties is prohibited from engaging in political activities, according to the bill, reported Geo News.
The measure also addresses internet offences, which include any actions that undermine, make fun of, or otherwise embarrass the armed forces. (ANI)

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa [Pakistan], August 1 (ANI): A flood in the Upper Kohistan district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa washed away a part of the Karakoram Highway on Monday in the evening hours following a heavy rain spell in the country, reported Dawn citing the Deputy Commissioner (DC) Irfanullah Mehsood.
Dawn is a Pakistani English-language newspaper.

Flooding in the Lachi nullah in the Harban tehsil of Upper Kohistan was the result of significant rains.
A section of the Karakoram Highway was washed away by the flood, leaving "hundreds of passengers," including families and tourists, stuck on the road, Mehsood added, saying that in addition to a mosque, a police station, a hotel, other houses were damaged as well.

The DC said that it would take "days" to restore the highway because there was no longer any sign of it close to Lachi nullah, reported Dawn.
The Karakoram Highway was becoming increasingly congested, according to the tehsil chairman, and it appeared that there might be a food scarcity in Upper Kohistan and Gilgit-Baltistan.
He added that it might take a week or more to restore the portion of the highway that was swept away today.
Earlier on Sunday, flash floods and mudslides triggered by heavy downpours blocked the Karakoram Highway (KKH) at various points in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK)'s Gilgit-Baltistan, Dawn reported.
Diamer Deputy Commissioner (DC) Captain (Rtd) Arif Ahmad told Dawn that the KKH was blocked near Goharabad village’s Gandalo area. He added that it was blocked at nine different points within a 1.5-kilometre stretch.
He further said that two cars were damaged after coming in contact with mudslides. However, the passengers in them remained safe and the cars were pulled out of the mudslides.
DC Ahmad stated that over 50 houses had been damaged in the district due to the rain-triggered floods in the past eight days while around 250 kilometres of linked roads and nine vehicles had been damaged, increasing the locals’ misery. (ANI)

New Delhi [India], August 1 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday in a meeting with National Democratic Alliance (NDA) MPs from West Bengal, Odisha and Jharkhand said that the journey of 25 years of the alliance has been unprecedented and the NDA intends to take it forward.
According to West Bengal BJP chief Sukanta Majumdar, during the meeting PM Modi said that UPA Government had to change its name to I.N.D.I.A as its name was associated with scams like 2G, 3G.

Majumdar said, "PM Modi (during the meeting of NDA MPs) said that I.N.D.I.A has been formed to hide the name of UPA as many scams including 2G, Commonwealth Games are associated with UPA's name. I.N.D.I.A is not different and is new camouflage of UPA and has been formed to mislead the people."
"Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to us about the upcoming Lok Sabha elections," Majumdar added.

A video was presented about the 3 states. The video played in the meeting featured development schemes done by the NDA government in West Bengal in 9 years, as well as violence in West Bengal.
According to a BJP source, "PM Modi said that the opposition didn't even know about the full form of I.N.D.I.A. and they were doing politics for their personal motive, not for the public interest. Whereas BJP formed NDA for Public welfare and we never think about ourselves. If we talk about Bihar, Maharashtra and some other states BJP always gave priority to our alliance party even if their number of MPs were less but we made CM and deputy CM from our alliance party. BJP always did selfless politics."
"PM Modi said that now India was going to become vishwa guru and the common people knows what our government did-- whether it was Article 370, Ram Mandir, Kashi corridor, or triple talaq-- for our society's welfare BJP did a lot. So there is no need to do propaganda on this. Now we have to choose the government's important scheme and need to tell the public what is the benefit and how government think about them."
As per sources, BJP will launch "Mera desh meri mati" from August 15 to 26.
"It was discussed in the NDA meeting that BJP will launch "Mera desh meri mati" from August 15 to 26. In this, all MPs will collect soil from different villages in a pot. These urns will be brought to Delhi and kept (Amrit Kalash) in Amrit Udhyan. The objective of this initiative is to unite India through the soil," the party source added.
In the meeting, PM Modi also asked all MPs to be "active" and "communicate directly" with the voters ahead of the 2024 polls.
"All MPs have to be active. We have to communicate directly with the public and tell the achievements of the government," PM Modi said.
The meeting which lasted for around one and a half hours featured some presentations by the NDA MPs.
The next meeting would be held on August 2 for Uttar Pradesh, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala, Puducherry, Andaman and Nicobar and Lakshadweep.
After that another meeting would be held on August 3- Bihar, Delhi, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Chandigarh, Haryana, Uttarakhand, Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.
The meeting on August 8 will be for Rajasthan, Maharashtra and Goa.
On August 9 meeting would be for Madhya Pradesh and Chattisgarh, Gujarat, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu. Two clusters each day meeting Northeast cluster yet to be decided. (ANI)

Murshidabad (West Bengal) [India], August 1 (ANI): Border Security Force personnel on Monday thwarted a smuggling attempt across the India–Bangladesh border in West Bengal's Murshidabad. A cattle smuggler was killed in an encounter, said officials.
"In a commendable display of presence of mind, fearlessness, and bravery, the jawans of Border Outpost Jalangi, 141 Battalion under South Bengal Frontier of Border Security Force (BSF), successfully thwarted a group of smugglers attempting to smuggle cattle across the Indo–Bangladesh border on Monday. Despite facing an aggressive attack from the smugglers, the vigilant jawans responded firmly, resulting in the death of one smuggler," stated a BSF release.

A K Arya, DIG spokesperson of BSF South Bengal Frontier said, "On July 31, 2023, around 0130 hrs, while diligently performing their duty, the BSF jawans noticed suspicious movement and spotted smugglers accompanied by cattle heading towards the BSF Domination Line. Sensing the urgency to prevent the illicit act, the jawans confronted and warned the smugglers. However, the smugglers disregarded the warnings and continued their pursuit towards the Domination Line. To deter the miscreants, the BSF jawans initially used verbal warnings and non-lethal stun grenades, aiming to disperse them and halt their activities. Undeterred, the miscreants armed themselves with sharp-edged weapons and bamboo sticks, encircling the BSF personnel with the intention to inflict grave injuries."
"Realizing the imminent threat to their lives and left with no alternative to protect themselves, the BSF jawans took decisive action by firing two rounds from their personal weapons. As a result, the miscreants were forced to retreat from the spot," he added.

During a thorough search of the area, the jawans successfully seized one cattle, preventing its illegal transportation.
Tragically, one smuggler, identified as Mominul Islam (35 years old) hailing from village Jinnatpara, PS Rani Nagar, district Murshidabad, lost his life during the encounter. The body of the deceased smuggler has been handed over to Jalangi police station, and the seized cattle has been handed over to Dhyan Foundation for further legal action.
A K Arya, DIG spokesperson of BSF South Bengal Frontier, stressed that the jawans on the Indo-Bangladesh border display unwavering vigilance despite the inherent risks they face. He further emphasized that smugglers often resort to fatal attacks on the jawans when their nefarious plans are thwarted, leading to grave injuries. The BSF jawans remain steadfast in their commitment to protect themselves, government property, and curb smuggling activities, thereby ensuring the safety and security of the border. (ANI)

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WSPA) – Officials with the South Carolina High School League (SCHSL) said that they have taken significant steps to prioritize the safety and well-being of student-athletes.
The SCHSL has joined a small handful of statewide high school sports associations to have head of player safety and well-being. Tim Kinney will serve as the league’s Director of Health, Safety, and Wellness.
This new role aims to provide access to the best healthcare and information, enabling member schools to maintain a secure environment for their athletes.
SCHSL Commissioner Dr. Jerome Singleton said, “We really want to protect our student-athletes. It only made sense in our league’s opinion to be intentional about that.”
Kinney will oversee the medical aspects of the league and assist schools in implementing best practices. Kinney said, “South Carolina is now being a leader in the entire country by having this role. My vision is to make sure all our member schools have access to the best healthcare and information to make sure all our kids are safe.”
Kinney has been a certified athletic trainer in high schools since 2006. The league aims to support students not only in their athletic pursuits but also in their overall well-being.
Previously, assistant commissioners oversaw health and safety for their respective sports. With the introduction of the Director of Health, Safety, and Wellness position, the SCHSL says they are taking a cohesive approach to enhancing safety standards for all student-athletes.
This initiative aligns with the league’s overarching goal of providing a secure environment for every student-athlete, regardless of their athletic aspirations Dr. Singleton said.
Earlier this year, South Carolina became the 47th state to mandate a license for athletic training.

Democrats and Republicans are offering clashing interpretations of the significance of former Hunter Biden business associate Devon Archer’s closed-door testimony, which lawmakers said included assertions that Hunter Biden was selling the “illusion of access” to his father and that Hunter Biden sometimes put President Biden on speakerphone to talk to his business associates.
The revelations are fueling Republican attempts to link the president to his son’s business dealings. Republicans, including Speaker Kevin McCarthy (Calif.) and House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer (Ky.), say the testimony shows that President Biden “lied” when he made campaign trail statements that he had never talked to his son about his foreign business dealings.
But Democrats say Archer’s testimony to the House Oversight Committee on Monday actually shows the president was not involved in Hunter Biden’s foreign business affairs.
Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.), who attended the hours-long transcribed interview, said Archer testified that because Hunter Biden was under pressure from Ukrainian energy company Burisma, “he had to give the illusion — and he used that term, the illusion — of access to his father, and he tried to get credit for things that he — that Mr. Archer testified Hunter had nothing to do with, such as when Vice President Biden went to Ukraine on his own.”
Lawmakers clash over whether testimony implicates president
Archer was on the board of Burisma with Hunter Biden. Republicans have said then-Vice President Biden’s call to remove Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin, whose office was investigating Burisma, was directly related to his son’s involvement with, and sizable payments from, the company.
But the investigation in Burisma had been opened before Shokin took the position, and Shokin was widely criticized for failure to prosecute corruption, with his ouster supported by numerous U.S. officials.
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), the ranking member on the House Oversight Committee, said in a statement that Archer testified that “President Biden was not involved in his son’s business affairs, and that President Biden was never asked to, nor did he, take any official actions in relation to those business matters.”
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said last week that the president “was never in business with his son.”
On the other end of the partisan spectrum, Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), who also attended the transcribed interview, said he thought Archer’s testimony “implicate[s] the president.”
Reading from his notes of the transcribed interview, Biggs said Archer testified that “Burisma would have gone out of business sooner if the Biden brand had not been invoked. People would be intimidated to legally mess with Burisma because of the Biden family brand.”
According to Biggs, Archer said the Biden “brand” referred to President Biden. But Goldman later said that Archer clarified the “brand” was based on a “D.C. brand based on his own experience in lobbying” and “in conjunction with the fact that his last name was Biden.”
Burisma bribery allegations
Both Biggs and Goldman said that Archer had no knowledge of an alleged $5 million payment to Biden from Burisma, an allegation relayed by a confidential FBI source in a form released by Republicans earlier in June.
Goldman argued that Archer’s testimony undercut the premise of the Biden-Burisma bribery allegations.
“Even though it was perceived by Burisma that they had the Prosecutor General Shokin ‘under control,’ quote unquote, that Joe Biden advocated for his firing — which of course, was not coveted or desired by Burisma, and would potentially be bad for Burisma,” Goldman said.
Raskin said that Republicans appeared to be “chasing” the bribery allegations, and pointed to a recent letter to Comer from Lev Parnas, who was involved in an effort to dig up dirt about the Bidens in Ukraine ahead of the 2020 election, urging Comer to abandon efforts to chase the “conspiracy theories.”
Comer, on the other hand, took issue with Hunter Biden’s work with Burisma.
“When Burisma’s owner was facing pressure from the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating the company for corruption, Archer testified that Burisma executives asked Hunter to ‘call D.C.’ after a Burisma board meeting in Dubai,” he said in a statement, which a press release said raised concerns that Hunter Biden was in violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
Phone calls with the president
Archer’s testimony did appear to partially back up Comer’s statement to the New York Post last week that he expected Archer to discuss the times he witnessed Hunter Biden’s putting then-Vice President Biden on speakerphone with foreign business partners.
Democrats downplayed that concern.
“The witness indicated that Hunter spoke to his father every day, and approximately 20 times over the course of a 10-year relationship. Hunter may have put his father on the phone with any number of different people, and they never once spoke about any business dealings,” Goldman said.
“As he described it, it was all casual conversation, niceties, the weather, ‘What’s going on?’” Goldman said, adding that “there wasn’t a single conversation about any of the business dealings that Hunter had.”
Democrats also stressed that there were especially frequent conversations between Hunter Biden and his father after his brother, Beau Biden, died from brain cancer in 2015.
Biggs pushed back on Goldman’s characterization.
“He probably forgot to tell you that Devon Archer himself said that was an implication of who the ‘big guy’ is,” Biggs said, referring to communications drawn from a laptop hard drive that purportedly belonged to Hunter Biden.
The House Oversight GOP also said in a tweet that President Biden attended a 2014 dinner with Hunter Biden and some of his foreign business associates at Cafe Milano in Washington, D.C.
White House slams GOP after ‘much-hyped witness’ testimony
Ian Sams, White House spokesperson for oversight and investigations, also argued that the Archer interview poked holes in the GOP attempts to directly link President Biden to his family’s foreign business dealings.
“It appears that the House Republicans’ own much-hyped witness today testified that he never heard of President Biden discussing business with his son or his son’s associates, or doing anything wrong,” Sams said. “House Republicans keep promising bombshell evidence to support their ridiculous attacks against the President, but time after time, they keep failing to produce any. In fact, even their own witnesses appear to be debunking their allegations.”
Raskin said that the Biden family investigation is a “desperate effort to distract everyone from former President Donald Trump’s mounting criminal indictments and deepening legal morass.”
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), who was also in the interview, told reporters that Archer had revealed new information, but declined to elaborate further.
Abbe Lowell, counsel for Hunter Biden, said in a statement that House Republicans “keep swinging and keep striking out in their obsessive pursuit of the President through his son, Hunter.”
“Mr. Archer confirmed one more time that Hunter Biden did not involve his father in, nor did his father assist him in, his business. It’s well known that Hunter and his father speak daily, and what Mr. Archer confirmed today was that when those calls occurred during Hunter’s business meetings, if there was any interaction between his father and his business associates, it was simply to exchange small talk,” Lowell said.
“Like the relatives of Donald Trump, Senators Ron Johnson and Ted Cruz, Rep. Lauren Boebert, and many others, family members of elected representatives meet people and may get opportunities because of those connections,” he continued. “Congress would be busy investigating many of their own if that’s their idea of an offense.”
Archer did not answer shouted questions when entering or leaving the transcribed interview, and his attorney declined to take a side in the debate over his testimony.
“We are aware that all sides are claiming victory following Mr. Archer’s voluntary interview today. But all Devon Archer did was exactly what we said he would: show up and answer the questions put to him honestly and completely. Mr. Archer shared the truth with the Committee, and we will leave to them and others to decide what to do with it,” said Matthew L. Schwartz, a managing partner of Boies Schiller Flexner LLP.

A trio of top House Republicans are demanding that the Department of Justice (DOJ) hand over information pertaining to Hunter Biden’s plea deal, which has been on hold for days after a judge raised concerns about the agreement.
GOP lawmakers have railed for weeks against the plea agreement, calling it a “sweetheart deal” and arguing Hunter Biden was given preferential treatment because he is the son of President Biden.
The three Republicans escalated those attacks in a Monday letter, asking Attorney General Merrick Garland to answer a list of questions and provide documents and communications about Hunter Biden’s “unusual” plea agreement — the first request from Congress parsing the particulars of the deal.
“The Department’s unusual plea and pretrial diversion agreements with Mr. Biden raise serious concerns — especially when combined with recent whistleblower allegations—that the Department has provided preferential treatment toward Mr. Biden in the course of its investigation and proposed resolution of his alleged criminal conduct,” the letter reads.
Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) and Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-Mo.) all signed the letter. The House GOP for months has been investigating the Biden family’s foreign business dealings and its associates. Lawmakers have previously made requests regarding the investigation into Hunter Biden led by U.S. attorney for Delaware David Weiss.
The Hill reached out to the DOJ for comment.
Hunter Biden’s plea deal was put on hold last week after the judge overseeing the case questioned the parameters of the agreement. As part of the deal, Biden was expected to plead guilty to two misdemeanor counts of willful failure to pay income taxes. He also reached a diversion agreement relating to an unlawful possession of a weapon charge.
U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika, a Trump appointee, raised concerns about the setup of the two-part deal and the scope of Biden’s immunity, and she ultimately gave both parties more time to explain why the deal — which she has to greenlight — should be accepted.
The three House Republicans pointed to some of Noreika’s concerns in their letter, including provisions in the pretrial diversion agreement that would shield Hunter Biden from future criminal charges on the gun charge or other federal charges within the scope of the agreement.
“Taken individually, each of the provisions discussed above raises serious concerns about how the Department has handled this matter. But when considered together, the provisions appear to be even more troubling,” the GOP chairmen wrote.
They claimed the Justice Department “shifted a broad immunity provision, which benefits Mr. Biden, from the plea agreement to the pretrial diversion agreement apparently to prevent the District Court from being able to scrutinize and reject that immunity provision.”
“And then, the Department has benefitted Mr. Biden by giving up its unilateral ability to bring charges against him if it concludes that he has breached the pretrial diversion agreement. Instead, it has placed upon itself the burden of getting the District Court’s permission to bring charges even though the District Court normally has no role in policing a pretrial diversion agreement in that manner,” they continued. “So, the District Court is apparently removed from the equation when it helps Mr. Biden and inserted into the equation when it helps Mr. Biden.”
The trio of Republicans also voiced concerns about the DOJ saying the investigations into Hunter Biden are “ongoing,” arguing it is an effort to shield the DOJ from congressional oversight. Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) raised a similar claim last month.
“How can Hunter Biden plead guilty, no jail time, and the DOJ say there’s still an investigation, try to withhold information to the House? That’s unacceptable and will not stand,” McCarthy told reporters at the time.
The committee chairmen are asking Garland to provide information on other pretrial diversion agreements similar to Biden’s, in addition to “a generalized description of the nature of the Department’s ongoing investigation(s) concerning Hunter Biden.”
The letter from Jordan, Comer and Smith came the same day lawmakers heard testimony from former Hunter Biden business associate Devon Archer behind closed doors. Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) told reporters Archer said Hunter Biden included President Biden on a number of phone calls that presumably included business associates, a detail that Republicans will likely use in their attempts to link the president to his son’s business dealings.
Goldman said the testimony did not prove President Biden was involved in his son’s business dealings. Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), however, said he thought Archer’s testimony “implicate[s] the president.”
That testimony came nearly two weeks after two IRS whistleblowers testified publicly, claiming that authorities slow-walked the case into Hunter Biden. The two whistleblowers previously spoke to the Ways and Means Committee behind closed doors, and those transcripts were released shortly after Hunter Biden’s plea agreement was announced.

Former President Trump’s dominance of the GOP field was underscored by a new poll released Monday.
The New York Times/Siena College poll showed Trump leading his closest rival for the nomination, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, by a massive 37 points.
In the poll, Trump drew 54 percent support and DeSantis 17 percent. No other candidate registered higher than 3 percent support.
The poll was far from an outlier. Trump has maintained a lead of roughly 30 points over DeSantis in national polling averages for some time. There is no convincing evidence that any other contender is acquiring real momentum.
Given that Trump is showing such strength even while he has been indicted in two criminal cases, the question arises as to whether he is all but inevitable as the GOP nominee.
Here are the main arguments for and against that idea.
Trump is the inevitable nominee because…
His support looks rock-solid
Trump’s biggest political asset has been clear for years. His base voters are avid in their support and near-impervious to any negative information about him.
It’s more than seven years since then-candidate Trump told a crowd in Iowa, “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters, OK?”
Today, he stands accused of obstruction of justice and a series of other serious offenses in the Mar-a-Lago documents case. He is also charged with falsifying business records in a separate New York case.
Among Republicans, it hasn’t mattered.
In the New York Times poll, 71 percent of potential Republican primary voters said the GOP needed “to stand behind Trump” amid his charges, whereas only 22 percent argued there was no obligation to do so.
The exact same share — 71 percent — asserted that Trump was innocent of any “serious federal crimes.”
A general election would be a very different matter. But, within the GOP, there is every reason to think Trump has a lock on enough voters to carry him to the nomination.
His main rival is doing very poorly
DeSantis’s weakness has been a bigger surprise than Trump’s strength so far.
The Florida governor launched his campaign May 24 with a Twitter Spaces event marred by technical glitches. It was a sign of things to come.
DeSantis’s poll ratings have eroded over the two months-plus of his campaign to date. The national polling average maintained by data site FiveThirtyEight showed him drawing roughly 21 percent support on the day of his launch. He is now at roughly 16 percent.
The polling slide has been accompanied by broader campaign troubles. A recent series of staffing cuts has reduced his team by about one-third.
DeSantis’s backers publicly evince confidence that they are building a campaign for the long haul and that it will all come right in the end. The governor laid out an economic agenda in a New Hampshire speech Monday.
But as of today, DeSantis has seriously underperformed.
That’s very good news for Trump.
GOP voters don’t buy the argument that Trump is unelectable
Trump-skeptical GOP insiders coalesce around one central argument — that the former president would be a weak general election candidate, likely losing a winnable election.
As evidence they cite the 2020 election, when Trump lost the popular vote by more than 7 million votes to President Biden; his false claims of election fraud and the way they fueled the Capitol Riot of Jan. 6, 2021; his many legal challenges; and his low poll ratings among the general public.
In an Economist/YouGov poll released last week, Trump was seen favorably by 40 percent of the general public, and unfavorably by 57 percent. Self-professed independent voters broke against him on that question by almost 2-to-1.
But the GOP primary electorate, by and large, just doesn’t buy it. They believe Trump can defy the polls and pundits again, just as he did when defeating Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in 2016.
The New York Times poll asked Republican voters whether Trump or DeSantis was better “able to beat Joe Biden.”
Fifty-eight percent went for Trump compared to 28 percent for DeSantis.
Unless those figures change drastically, it’s tough to see how Trump loses the nomination battle.
Trump is not the inevitable nominee because….
The campaign has barely begun
Today’s intense media coverage of every step of every campaign tends to lead to sweeping predications.
Many of those forecasts might seem premature.
The Iowa caucuses are more than five months away — an eternity in politics. The Republican National Convention, at which the nominee will be formally crowned, is almost a year away.
For the moment, Trump likely accrues some benefit from his near-universal name recognition.
In another Economist/YouGov poll earlier this month, the proportion of Republicans who said they didn’t know enough to express an opinion of a particular candidate stood at 9 percent for DeSantis, 21 percent for former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and 27 percent for former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley.
That gives those candidates room to grow, at least in theory, in a way that isn’t true for Trump.
Trump’s rivals could also hold out hope of game-changing moments during debate season, which is soon to begin. The first clash is set for Aug. 23 in Milwaukee.
Early polls are misleading
Trump’s rivals emphasize that predictions based on early polls in previous years were wrong.
That’s true — sort of. But it’s not quite so hard-and-fast a rule as the Trump skeptics claim.
In fact, in two of the last three contested Republican presidential primaries, the eventual winner was already leading the RealClearPolitics average at this point.
Trump had just burst into the lead in 2016, never to surrender it; and in 2012, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney had already established a lead, which he would lose and regain. Romney is now a senator representing Utah.
The sole exception came in 2008, when Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) was in third place and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was leading the field. McCain went on to claim the nomination and Giuliani’s campaign sputtered into oblivion.
It’s not just a matter of polls. Campaigns can sometimes shift on a dime, as happened for the Democrats in 2020.
Then, Biden looked like a busted flush after trailing in fourth in Iowa and fifth in New Hampshire. A win in South Carolina — and a collective quiver of fear among moderate Democrats over the possibility of nominating Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) — delivered the nomination to Biden.
Trump’s legal problems are getting worse
Even if Trump’s support has remained solid so far, it may not be destined to remain so.
What happens when the GOP has to focus fully on whether to nominate a candidate who could be convicted of serious offenses by the time Election Day rolls around?
Trump’s trial in the Mar-a-Lago matter has been set for May 20 next year.
Then there is the likelihood of Trump’s other troubles deepening.
An indictment is widely expected soon over Jan. 6. Trump himself wrote on Truth Social on Monday that he expected an indictment “any day now.”
In Georgia, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) is wrapping up her probe into attempts by Trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 election results in that state. Decisions on charges are expected in the next few weeks.
Every one of those cases, regardless of the verdicts, will put unflattering details of Trump’s behavior back in the spotlight — and could, perhaps, give some Republican voters second thoughts about nominating him.

(KRON) – Angus Cloud, the actor best known for his role in the HBO series “Euphoria,” has been found dead at his family’s home in Oakland, according to his publicist, Cait Bailey.
In a statement sent to TMZ, the first outlet to report the death, Cloud’s family confirmed his passing:
“It is with the heaviest heart that we had to say goodbye to an incredible human today. As an artist, a friend, a brother and a son, Angus was special to all of us in so many ways,” the statement read. “Last week he buried his father and intensely struggled with this loss. The only comfort we have is knowing Angus is now reunited with his dad, who was his best friend. Angus was open about his battle with mental health and we hope that his passing can be a reminder to others that they are not alone and should not fight this on their own in silence.”
Variety also reported the actor’s death, citing his family.
A statement from HBO Monday read:
We are incredibly saddened to learn of the passing of Angus Cloud. He was immensely talented and a beloved part of the HBO and Euphoria family. We extend our deepest condolences to his friends and family during this difficult time.
Cloud hadn’t acted before he was cast in “Euphoria.” He was walking down the street in New York when casting director Jennifer Venditti noticed him. Series creator Sam Levinson made him the co-star of the series alongside Zendaya for its first two seasons.
The part made Cloud the breakout star of one the buzziest shows in television.
Cloud starred as Fezco on 16 episodes of the HBO show in addition to appearances in “North Hollywood,” “The Perfect Women” and music videos with Becky G and Juice WRLD.
He was recently cast to co-star in “Scream 6.”
Cloud was born in Oakland according to his IMDB page.
He was 25 years old. No cause of death was given
If you or anyone you know are struggling, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline can be reached 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by phone, chat or text.

Social media has gone wild as people claim the government confirmed aliens exist. But the truth isn't that simple, even as Congress vows to investigate.

(NewsNation) — As in decades past, the question of whether aliens exist continues to captivate Americans. Following Wednesday’s widely-watched Congressional hearing on UAPs and UFOs, people flocked to social media — many proclaiming the government confirmed aliens exist.
But that’s not actually what happened at the hearing. While witnesses and lawmakers discussed the issue of UFOs, the government has not issued any official confirmation of alien life and what was said at the hearing, by witnesses and even a lawmaker, remains unverified.
As lawmakers continue to probe the issue, join NewsNation’s Brian Entin at 9 p.m. ET Sunday night for a two-hour special report on the hearing, including analysis from UFO experts. Find out how to tune in to NewsNation on your local channel lineup.
Here’s what we do (and don’t) know after the hearing:
Whistleblower David Grusch largely recounted second-hand testimony and provided no evidence to support his claims. Grusch is a former member of the UAP Task Force.
Former Navy Commander and pilot David Fravor recounted a first-hand experience with the so-called Tic Tac UFO but said he was never briefed on the object or its potential origins.
Former Navy pilot Ryan Graves, who founded the Americans for Safe Aerospace, also recounted an encounter he had with an object he described as a black sphere floating inside a clear cube. Graves indicated such encounters were extremely common among pilots. There was no evidence presented to support this claim.
While lawmakers seemed largely accepting of the witness testimony, only Rep. Matt Gaetz, R.-Fla., said he had seen any evidence of alien life firsthand.
Grusch was unable to answer a number of inquiries regarding specific evidence or proof in an open setting, though he indicated he would be willing to say more in a secure, classified briefing.
All three witnesses agreed these unidentified objects constituted a potential national security threat.
Official government bodies, including the White House, Pentagon, and NASA have all stated they have no reason to believe unexplained objects are extraterrestrial in nature.
National Security Council Spokesman John Kirby said after the hearing there are “no hard and fast” answers to the question but that the administration is taking it seriously.
This wasn’t the first time the U.S. government undertook investigations to address the question of UFOs, nor is it the first time the official response was that there was nothing “alien” going on.
However, at the heart of Grusch’s whistleblower complaint is his claim that the government, specifically the Department of Defense, is operating programs to retrieve material from crashes that are extraterrestrial in nature and are keeping those programs secret from the public while also operating without appropriate Congressional oversight.
Grusch spoke exclusively to NewsNation regarding his experiences, which he said include the U.S. government recovering the “non-human” pilots of downed craft.
In light of his claims, lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee have vowed to continue to hold more hearings, including classified briefings where Grusch could speak more freely. Members have also vowed to seek the power to subpoena documents and images that Grusch says back up his claims.
Lawmakers have also called for a centralized reporting system for both military and civilian reports of UFOs, to better analyze and understand the possible threat.
There is also the possibility of the creation of a new committee to specifically investigate UAPs/UFOs. It’s not entirely clear how Congress could compel the DoD or military to release information on any secret programs, should they exist, though, in the past, lawmakers have attempted to work UFO reporting into funding requirements for the Pentagon.

SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) — The Warriors boast arguably the toughest schedule in the state for the second straight year.
Let’s go through this non-region schedule for the Warriors. They start with back-to-back state champions, Benedictine. Then, they travel north of the state border and take on Bluffton. Who was a playoff team last season? In the third week, they travel to the hill for a date with seven-A power Richmond Hill. In the fourth week, they go to Carrollton who played for the seven-A state title last season — they are led by the top player in the class of 2026 quarterback Julian Lewis. Then they close out the non-region schedule with Wayne County who went to the quarterfinals in class four in 2022. When asked what game Jenkins looks forward to most, the players said Benedictine.
“Last year,” senior quarterback Jemeriah James said, “It didn’t go how we wanted. So this year, I want to make it go how we want it for sure.”
He continued, “You know the name of the school.”
Really doesn’t matter,” senior defensive end Lorenzo Cowan said. “Yes, we are aware that those are really good teams. They have really good guys, but on any given night, I’ll take my guys over anybody else’s guys.”
Last season, Jenkins went 4-7 overall and 3-2 in Region 1 of class five-A. They open the season with Benedictine on August 18 at 7:30 p.m. at Memorial Stadium.

DENVER (KDVR) — Country artist Luke Bryan invited a Denver-area girl backstage after he heard her story.
Mary Stegmueller, 7, has been battling terminal brain cancer since she was 4 years old. She’s a serious Luke Bryan fan, and she really wanted to see his show in Denver on Saturday.
But she is immunocompromised and cannot stand for long durations, so her family thought the concert was off the table until an anonymous donor gave them a private suite for the show.
Her family said they’re unbelievably grateful to the anonymous donor.
Mary got a quick hug from the country star back in 2021 after a concert, but this time, she was hoping for another chance to have a conversation with him.

Mary begins her 43rd round of radiation on Monday.

The 25 year-old actor's family disclosed he had been struggling with his mental health.

Angus Cloud, the 25 year-old actor best known for his starring role on HBO's teen drama Euphoria, has died. “It is with the heaviest heart that we had to say goodbye to an incredible human today,” Cloud's family said in a statement provided to TMZ. “As an artist, a friend, a brother and a son, Angus was special to all of us in so many ways.”"
Cloud's cause of death hasn't been revealed just yet but in their statement his family disclosed that Cloud's father passed away last week and Angus had been struggling to process the loss. "The only comfort we have is knowing Angus is now reunited with his dad, who was his best friend. Angus was open about his battle with mental health and we hope that his passing can be a reminder to others that they are not alone and should not fight this on their own in silence." The family added that they hope Cloud will be remembered “for his humor, laughter and love for everyone.”
Cloud's acting career took off after he was literally discovered on a Manhattan street by a Euphoria casting director. After just two auditions, he had the role of Fezco, the monosyllabic drug dealer with a heart of gold, a character who, professions aside, bore a lot of similarities to Cloud himself. “I wasn’t trying to learn how to act on the plane over there,” he told GQ of going to his first ever acting audition, reasoning that since the producers reached out to him for his look and vibe, that's what he would give them. “Imma just show up and do what they want and then be done.”
Fezco became an instant fan-favorite—for his protectiveness towards Zendaya's Rue and later for a sweetly innocent odd couple arc that found him romancing Maude Apatow's nebbish character Lexi—so much so that it spurred creator Sam Levinson to keep the character around for much longer than he intended.
Viewers loved Fezco for his honor, authenticity and nonchalant charm and in interviews Cloud, an Oakland native who skated, modeled and was a big proponent of regional Bay Area rap, seemed to suggest that drug dealing was the only big difference between himself and his breakout character. He has said that he re-worked his dialog often to sound more like something he would actually say, including the show's best line delivery.
Cloud had several film projects in the works in an attempt to expand his palette and take his burgeoning career seriously, but still seemed to be in awe of his new station in life. "I still don't understand it. I still get up and I'm like,"What the heck? What am I doing here? Why did they not hire a professional actor?" he said. "I just had to come to terms because during the filming of the pilot everyone would say, Oh you're killing it and I was like, No, I'm not, but thank you for trying to make me feel better. I felt like I was doing a terrible job. [But the fan reaction] gave me that solid evidence that was like, Damn, actually I guess I must be doing something right.

Tank tops have become the unofficial SAG-AFTRA/WGA strike uniform, with stars like Jeremy Allen White, Tyler James Williams, and Colin Farrell letting their biceps do the talking.

It’s unbearably hot in Hollywood these days, both meteorologically and metaphorically. Los Angeles, like many parts of the country, has endured an extreme heat wave for nearly a month now. That’s almost how long it’s been since the Screen Actors Guild joined the Writers Guild of America on the picket line against the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, with little sign of resolution in sight. With actors and writers gathering in droves to strike outside the sweltering studio lots, we’re seeing what celebrities wear when they actually have to dress for summer weather: a whole lot of tank tops.
Now, the picket line is suddenly replete with the toned biceps and triceps of Hollywood’s most in-demand actors. The Bear’s Jeremy Allen White bared his arms while picketing a couple of weeks ago in a simple gray tank, his beat-to-hell Mets cap, and a pair of faded blue jeans. He was joined a few days later by Abbott Elementary’s Tyler James Williams, who paired his white tank with, ahem, a Yankees cap and navy sweats. Recent Oscar nominee Colin Farrell, meanwhile, rolled up the sleeves of his standard-issue “SAG-AFTRA Strong” tee, which he color-coordinated with one of his little rolled-up headbands. Even The White Lotus’s F. Murray Abraham joined the gun show: While picketing in New York last week, the 83-year-old wore a straw Panama hat with a seemingly well-loved commemorative tank top from the 2008 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.

“It’s so deeply not the point but I enjoy this new form of regularly scheduled programming,” writer Tess Garcia recently tweeted, alongside photos of bare-armed Williams and White on the SAG-AFTRA picket line. This incidental peacocking, though, might actually be pretty good publicity for the cause. Last week, InStyle ran a story titled “We Support The Strike And Jeremy Allen White’s Biceps at the Strike,” and Slate included the “hard-earned ’ceps” of “actors who look like they just clocked out of a shift welding steel beams” in their list of picket-line fashion trends. (See also: this article you’re currently reading.) The official SAG Instagram account posted a photo of a guns-out White in a post that garnered nearly 40,000 likes, which is approximately 28,000 more likes than the posts preceding and following it have combined. As Garcia put it: It’s not the point, but it’s got people paying attention.
On the flip side, photos of actors’ physiques going viral is also good publicity for the shows they currently cannot actively promote. Jeremy Allen White is the star of FX’s The Bear, whose second season premiered just weeks before SAG joined the strike; he's been photographed several times in varying degrees of shirtlessness since the promo freeze. “The Paramount and Netflix lots are like the Met Ball of picketing,” TV writer Emily Goldwyn told GQ in May, and that was well before the actors arrived. When A-listers show up in public to strike, it’s a good bump for visibility—hence why strike organizers have been urging them to turn out. Doesn’t hurt if they arrive in something that shows off their toned arms, either.

From plot and cast to release date and workout, here are all of the details for The Iron Claw film starring Zac Efron and The Bear's Jeremy Allen White.

Once decried by jealous men everywhere as but a walking ab, Zac Efron has defied his critics in recent years with a whole locker room's worth of indie movie roles. First, the biggest shock of ‘em all: he portrayed Ted Bundy in Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, a downright nasty biographical crime pic of the American mass murderer that also starred, of all people, Metallica’s James Hetfield.
Last year, there was stuff like the Stephen King adaptation Firestarter and somehow Oscar-winning director Peter Farrelly's *The Greatest Beer Run Ever—*and next, he'll look to take it up a notch in wrestling family biopic The Iron Claw, from A24, Hollywood's answer to Supreme.
Wrestling is obviously very cool and has never, ever not been so, but there's an extra-special reason why this is such a tantalizing prospect. Director Sean Durkin is known for his psychodramatic proclivities, digging into the interiority of characters played by Sean Harris, Rory Kinnear, Cary Coons, Elizabeth Olsen and Jude Law. We love depth! 2020's The Nest was a big hit among lovers of movies and Bronski Beat's “Smalltown Boy” alike at Sundance Film Festival that year, as was the psychothriller Martha Marcy May Marlene in the same spot back in 2011.
Oh yeah, and Efron looks absolutely fuckin' jacked. Evergreen! Here's everything else you need to know about The Iron Claw.
Who's going to star in The Iron Claw?
Efron might be the headline casting for this square circle affair, but he's set to be joined by two super-hot acting talents in their own right.
Jeremy Allen White, down to play Von Erich brother Kerry, is hot off the heels of his major Hollywood breakthrough in the form of Disney's The Bear, and Harris Dickinson, basking in acclaim in the wake of Ruben Östlund's Cannes-winner Triangle of Sadness, will step up as brother David. While we have had the odd peak of Efron in one of the greatest wigs of all time, A24 has released its first official image of the foursome ahead of its release. Naturally, Efron is jacked to the nines, but White, whose recent foray into the world of short shorts has sent the internet into a tizzy, also admitted to gaining 40lbs of muscle for the role.

The 'Oppenheimer' star's groomer lets us in on his sunkissed secret: a touch of bronzer.
|

The media frenzy surrounding Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan’s latest three-hour epic, has yielded many gems: endlessly dissectable interviews, plenty of big brooding fits, and a smattering of anti-internet meme fodder. As far as I'm concerned, though, the press tour's most tantalizing gift was the chance to gaze upon star Cillian Murphy's architectural cheekbones. During a recent London photocall, as Murphy posed leisurely in a cardigan and Sunspel tee, his impeccably-defined cheeks glowed with even more of a sunkissed smolder than usual. The red-hot images left me with a single searing question: “ID on the bronzer, bro?”
Thankfully, Gareth Bromell, the celebrity groomer who prepped Murphy’s hair and makeup on the Oppenheimer press tour, was more than happy to let me in on the secret to his client's healthy glow: Tom Ford powder, in a matte shade of Terra, applied with a soft Chanel powder brush. “The powder doesn't have any glitter or shimmer, or anything like that, which I think is very important for male clients,” Bromell explains. “You want them to look sunkissed but you don't want them to look like they're wearing makeup.”
Tom Ford Soleil Glow Bronzer $70 at Nordstrom
All men could benefit from a touch of bronzer before a big night out, Bromell says, but "especially gentlemen from, let’s just say the UK and Ireland, who are a little bit paler than others. They’re not exposed to the sun as much.” Cork native Murphy, perhaps the most Irish of all Irish actors, certainly qualifies there.
To get the radiant red-carpet look, Bromell advises targeting the exaggerated points of your face where the sun would naturally shine, like the tips of the cheekbones. “Then, I work it into the left and right of the forehead, the points that are a bit more raised on the face shape, and the center of the nose, a bit on the chin, the ears, and a little on the neck—but a very light dusting.”
Prepping your skin before the bronzer, however, is just as critical for looking your dewiest self. “Especially in men's grooming,” Bromell says, “the skin tends to look a little drier and oiler than with women.” When grooming Murphy, he begins with a cooling cleanser and toner from UK-based brand Haeckels, follows up with a pair of hyaluronic acid and vitamin C serums, and then allows those to soak into the skin with an LED mask for about 5-10 minutes. “That brings up the pigmentation in the skin for a healthier glow.”
Another of one of Bromell's tricks for giving Cillian a rosier complexion? A clickable self-tanner from UK brand James Reed that's “very popular on the male grooming circuit.” After applying a 111Skin face and eye mask to seal in moisture, he mixes two clicks of the Click & Glow pen with some moisturizer, then works the tanner all over Cillian's face. “I apply that into the skin and that develops over an hour and it’s very, very natural and adds a really beautiful glow to the skin.”
The clickable pen helps you control how much you use, Bromell says, and mixing it with a moisturizer or sunscreen dilutes the pigment. “When I use it for myself, it just looks like I’ve been in the sun for a day. It lasts a couple days and fades naturally. I always say less is more and you can always build it up if you don’t feel tan enough.”
Just be wary of getting too close to your hairline as it can stain that area, and be sure to use some cleanser to wipe some off if you get a little heavy-handed with it.
James Read Tan Click & Glow $33 at Revolve
You might not have Cillian Murphy's sculpted cheekbones—or if you do, my DMs are open—but a little bronzer and a tan-in-a-pen will still go a long way towards making you look and feel like a red-carpet-ready star whenever you hit the town.

After a two decades of soul-searching, Abercrombie’s cargo pants have returned to where they belong—and they look better than ever.
|

Abercrombie’s cargo pants were crucial to the brand’s appeal in the early 2000s, when its signature look—polos worn collar popped, flip-flops worn everywhere they shouldn’t be—was at the height of its influence. But as the all-American label continues to shrug off the vestiges of its sweat-drenched, cologne-doused heyday, its perspective has reoriented itself accordingly. Gone are the gleaming washboard abs and seamy Bruce Weber campaigns, and in their place is a heightened focus on classic, nouveau prep menswear.
And yet, as Y2K-era style creeps back into the consciousness, Abercrombie has slowly woken up to the gold buried in its archives. Case in point: Earlier last week, the brand re-issued a version of the cargos once virtually inescapable in food courts and high school cafeterias across the country.
Much like the originals, the pants are done up in a heavily pre-faded ripstop fabric equipped with a webbed D-ring belt, and boast the requisite surplus of pockets. (Even the main pocket has its own mini pocket!) If they diverge anywhere from their turn-of-the-millennium source material, it’s in their silhouette, a loose cut that stops short of approximating the ginormous look of their predecessors. (For what it's worth, the women’s version skews much closer to OG and is all the better for it.)
Ironically, Abercrombie’s 2023 riff feels a little—dare we say it—square compared to some of the alternatives now sold by its neighbors at the mall. Which isn’t really a bad thing. They’re still capable of syncing up with a splashy striped button-up, formidable skate shoes, or even a toasted pair of ‘flops, but they’ll also play nice with roughed-up black derbies or dainty retro kicks without swallowing them whole. Two decades after they took your local galleria by storm, the cargo pants that helped defined the aesthetic of the early 2000s still got it going on.

With his just-acquired Rolex Daytona Paul Newman, Hov continues to prove he is a peerless watch collector.

Few watch models stir diehard collectors quite like the Rolex Daytona with an exotic “Paul Newman” dial. The late actor made this variation of the watch so famous—with its Art Deco numerals and contrasting track around the edge of the dial—that his personal specimen sold for a then record-setting $17.8 million in 2017. Meanwhile, no design flourish gives a watch more prestige than a Tiffany stamp on the dial, which signifies that the piece was originally sold by the legendary New York-based jeweler. And for collectors who really don’t have to worry about the price tag, landing a watch from your birth year is an irresistible cherry on top. Jay-Z’s latest watch is a Rolex Daytona 6263 that combines all these elements in an unparalleled holy grail.
Photographs: KodakLens , Phillips; Collage: Gabe Conte
Until this past weekend, when Jay-Z wore it to Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour stop at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, this watch spent years hiding out in a safe. The dealer Adam Golden, founder of Menta Watches, has known about this exact piece for years. The Daytona came from a private collection that the collector has slowly been selling off. Golden sold the mythical “Lemon” Daytona 6265, an 18-carat yellow-gold version of the watch with a citrus-yellow dial, from the same collector for $3.6 million.
“I’ve known about this watch for three or four years now and [was] always promised it [by the seller],” Golden explained via DM. “The time finally came. I was going to offer it to a good client and it randomly popped in my head to text Alex [Todd, Jay’s go-to jeweler], as Jay is a [Tiffany] ambassador.”
When a watch this special comes along, there is little time to hesitate—and Todd jumped at the opportunity. “When it comes to vintage Rolex I trust very few people honestly,” Todd told me. “Whenever somebody sends me a vintage Rolex, I send a picture to Adam for his advice. Recently, I sent him an expensive Daytona to get his advice, so he might have had an idea that I had my eyes on one for an important client. He sent me this rare gem, and it being a ‘69 Tiffany Newman, it only made sense who it would end up going to.” Golden’s text bounced from Todd over to that “important client” of his: “Sent it over to Hov and that’s all she wrote.”

Although we can't officially confirm, we think Tom Cruise would love the Ray-Ban sunglasses sale going on at Nordstrom's Anniversary extravaganza. Whether he's rocking aviator-style frames in Top Gun (the OG and Maverick) or Wayfarers in Risky Business, our genuine Last Action Hero could be the poster boy for Ray-Bans even when he's not wearing the branded sunnies.
Before the Italian eyewear brand got sucked into Luxottica, the massive eyewear conglomerate that owns basically every major eyeglass and sunglass brand, Ray-Ban helped to create and popularize some of the most popular eyewear styles around, way back in the early and mid-1900s. These classic shapes aren't exactly cheap, but given their durability, style, longevity, and overall Cool Kid-approvedness, we'd say they're well worth the money. Right now, a handful of the brand's most popular styles are marked-down at Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale, from various shades (ahem) of the Wayfarer to the outfit-elevating Clubmaster silhouette that's been spotted on Robert Pattinson and Seth Rogan. This Ray-Ban sunglasses sale features an eclectic assortment of colorways you might not expect, which will help you stand out in a crowd of black and tortoise frames.

The Patriots coach is famously ornery—unless, that is, he's talking about lacrosse. We took a deeper look at his long and warm relationship with the sport.

Late one night in May 2007, Northwestern women’s lacrosse coach Kelly Amonte Hiller begrudgingly fielded a phone call from an unfamiliar Massachusetts number. “I was recruiting a player from that area code and I was like, ‘Gosh, I don’t want to take this right now, but I need to talk to this kid,’” says Amonte Hiller. Instead, she was shocked to hear the gruff, instantly recognizable voice that greeted her. “I thought someone was messing with me,” she says. “But it was really him.”
Granted, this was exactly what Amonte Hiller had been hoping for when, earlier that day, with her Wildcats preparing to enter the ‘07 NCAA tournament as two-time defending champions, she had made the bold decision to randomly reach out to the one person she could think of, in any sport, who could relate to what she was going through. Still, even as her husband found the number for the New England Patriots’ headquarters through a Google search; even as she was patched through to the head coach’s assistant by a team receptionist; and even as she sputtered through a brief voicemail explaining her intentions, Amonte Hiller remained skeptical that she would ever actually talk to Bill Belichick.
“I said, ‘Hey, I know you live in Hingham, which is the town that I’m from, and I’m a huge Patriots fan, and we’re going for our third championship in a row, and I’m trying to keep it fresh and get them to understand that this is a separate tournament [from the previous two], so what advice would you have?’” she says. “I never figured he’d call back, but he did almost right away. I think [that] speaks to Bill’s relationship to the game of lacrosse, and to his relationships with the people in it.”
Scour the highest levels of coaching and you’d be hard-pressed to find someone more obsessed with a sport other than the one they obsess over for a living—let alone a legend with six Super Bowls (most all-time among NFL coaches), 31 playoff victories (also most) and 298 regular season wins (third-most). The evidence is well-documented, from the money that his foundation donated in 2017 to build Bill Belichick Field for aspiring lacrosse players in Uganda, to the Croatian national team hoodie that he was spotted rocking in ‘18. The enthusiasm has even influenced his team’s roster decisions: Chris Hogan, a former Penn State midfielder, spent three years as a Patriot, and earlier this month the Patriots hosted professional lacrosse player Dox Aitken, a former star high school receiver and safety, for a tryout at their rookie minicamp.
But there are the lesser-known markers, too, such as the lacrosse goal that Belichick puts up in his backyard for his grandchildren to shoot on when they visit. And the personal collection of 10-plus wooden lacrosse sticks that he has amassed since he was a teenager first learning to stitch up broken pockets with fresh rawhide. “Most of them are sticks that I used in high school & college,” Belichick explains in an email. “I have also been given sticks made by wooden stick makers on the reservation [of the Onondaga Nation in New York]. … Most of them are in my office at the stadium and I have a couple at home. I use one every couple of years.”

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: In the dog days of August, the right summer accessories can make or break an outfit. When layering opportunities are scarce, a candy-colored pair of shades or neon-hued carry-all won’t just protect you from the sun or free up your overstuffed pockets—they’ll make your faded vintage tees and fraying jorts feel exponentially more thoughtful, pulled-together, and intentional.
Wallet feeling a little light after so many weeks of hazy park hangs and late-night dollar slices? Don’t sweat it: to help maximize your dollars (and minimize your regrets) we unearthed a treasure trove of ante-upping, outfit-making, money-saving summer accessories—a red-hot rotation of sunglasses, hats, rings, and more—that cost a Benjamin or less.

The first full trailer for Loki season 2, starring Tom Hiddleston, dropped this morning. The beloved Disney+ series re-acquaints viewers with the Time Variance Authority (TVA) in the wake of the timeline-shattering finale, and introduces Oscar-winner Ke Huy Quan as a TVA repairer, of sorts, named OB.
After the events of the season 1 finale, it appears that Loki is slipping through time, causing him to glitch out—kind of like what happens in Into the Spider-Verse when Spider-People are away from their home dimensions.
And while we only get a brief glimpse of him, the trailer also includes another look at a Kang variant, Victor Timely, played by Jonathan Majors. The second post-credits scene in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania showed Loki and TVA agent Mobius (played by Owen Wilson) encountering Timely. The new trailer shows Loki and Mobius descending on a World’s Fair-like environment, where it looks like they’ll be meeting Marvel’s badguy-in-chief.
The next season of Loki drops October 6.

Different unique skins of the Nintendo Switch console have led to a lot of people hunting for them online, with some of the best examples in recent memory being the Animal Crossing: New Horizons console, or The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom version. And today, one of the rarest has finally been nabbed by an avid collector.
After the team at Consolevariations spent five years searching, and one year negotiating with the original owner, they acquired the Nintendo Labo Switch console, which was originally given to only 10 people around the world, on July 29.
The unique design of the console looks like it was made entirely out of cardboard, fitting the game it was inspired by.
5 years of searching, 1 year of negotiations. We finally managed to get the rarest Switch console in the world. The Nintendo Switch LABO Console! We got it directly from the winner from back in the days! pic.twitter.com/IonHlNrB0p — consolevariations (@consolevariant) July 29, 2023
The rarity of this console is nothing to scoff at, even if the design seems basic. For context, Nintendo Labo is a toys-to-life game that includes cardboard players can connect to the Switch console to make their own games. So, the cardboard design for the console originated out of a worldwide contest where Nintendo Labo fans would try and make the most creative cardboard creations they could. The victors made some great fan-made Labo games, and Nintendo rewarded them with either Labo-themed Joycons or an entirely Labo-themed console.

Nintendo sent these consoles to Canada, the U.S., Europe, and Australia. Consolevariations got their Labo console from a European contest winner that held it for over five years.
On their site, they rank the rarity of unique Switch items, and this Labo console is a 98/100 on their rarity scale. It stands alongside a lot of other contest-specific Switch consoles as the rarest ones in the world.
Fans on their site confirmed their enjoyment of the design too, adding to its mystique and rarity. One great comment noted their enthusiasm: “Tired: Wii made of gold. Wired: Nintendo Switch made of cardboard.” It’s almost both the antithesis and culmination of a rare Switch console design, perfectly matching the game, but also something where if you found it in a friend’s house, you wouldn’t expect it to be as rare as it is.
Considering how long it took for consolevariations to get the Switch, one replier to their tweet quickly wanted to check if this acquisition made this hard-to-acquire console available to buy. Even for a potentially steep price, the new owners replied with a simple “not for sale.”
While the new owners could make a good deal, the goal is to exhibit it alongside others. Considering only 10 exist, and it took many years to even find one to start a deal, it must’ve been worth it to see that cardboard Switch in their possession.

On July 27, 2023, a hearing was held at the Columbia County Courthouse on a Petition for a Preliminary Injunction filed by the Town of Bloomsburg against the Bloomsburg Fair. The Petition sought to enjoin the Fair from conducting any further automotive races at the Fairgrounds until such time as the Fair can show that racing can be conducted within the confines of the 65-decibel level as established by the Town’s amended noise ordinance.
On July 31, 2023, the Judge granted the Town’s Petition, and although we are disappointed with the Court’s decision, racing will halt at this time in compliance with the Court’s Order. The Fair is presently considering its appellate rights in relation to this Order, and will continue to pursue damages against the Town for its losses in relation to this temporary shutdown of racing operations.
We ask you to be mindful of the fact that the Injunction Order issued today is only Preliminary, and the Fair will continue to litigate this matter in the Courts and fight for justice in the face of the Town’s odious and unfair treatment of one of our area’s most cherished organizations.

El Cajon, California open-wheel racer Braden Chiaramonte made the Deuce of Clubs Thunder Raceway the 13th different track he has raced on in 2023. The teen star was moving forward in the main event on the ¼ mile track until he clipped the wall and derailed his hopes for victory in the 25-lapper.
Fifteen cars showed up for the 360 sprint car open show at the track that is located on the Mogollon Rim, which is 6,345 feet above sea level. As there was no qualifying, each car would contest an eight-lap heat race and the 25-lap main. Chiaramonte, who liked the track, started sixth in his heat and advanced two spots forward to finish fourth. That earned him the fifth starting spot in the finale.
The high temperature in Show Low on race day was 93 degrees. That was 25 degrees cooler than it was in Phoenix, which is only 179 miles away. The cool temperature was a relief for the talent-laden teen and his team. However, there was also an issue with the air. Having never raced there before, the crew had a tough time getting the engine tuned just right due to the thin air at the high altitude. That was hard to tell when the talented driver was on the track. His determined efforts offset some of those issues in the heat and the early portion of the main event.
When the field rolled onto the clay oval for the main, Chiaramonte manned his position on the inside of the third row. Once the race got underway, he immediately started steering his pretty #73B forward. He picked off the fourth-place car and was in the process of racing around the driver in third when he slapped the crash wall. The impact bent the jacob’s ladder on the car and flattened the right rear tire. Nevertheless, he pressed on for another six laps. Amazingly, he was still able to control the car and was in the fifth spot before the damage finally got bad enough to force him off the track.
Early on, it looked like there was a possibility he could win the main event. Unfortunately, the damage to the car resulted in a 12th-place finish. The harm may have affected his result but it did not diminish the show the 16-year-old put on for the fans. They witnessed the young driver getting everything he could out of the car and managing to keep it competitive despite the wear and tear inflicted in his brief tussle with the wall.
Chiaramonte would like to thank all his sponsors who have made his racing efforts possible. RTL Traffic Control, AM Ortega, Hyper Racing, King Racing Products, Tiner-Hirst Enterprises, and Keizer Wheels.

Results Show an Alternative Twice as Effective Compared to Antidepressant Medications
LONDON, July 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Flow Neuroscience, the creators of the Flow tDCS headset that provides at-home non-invasive brain stimulation to treat depression, today announced the results of its FDA pivotal clinical trial. The trial results show that the Flow headset was twice as effective as the most commonly-prescribed antidepressants in the treatment of depression.*
In July 2022, Flow received FDA Breakthrough Device Designation, demonstrating the innovative nature of the platform and the significant advantages it offers over existing approved or cleared alternatives. It was the first medical device in the category to achieve this status. Flow is now being reviewed for full FDA approval, which would make this device available as an at-home treatment option in the U.S.
In a study of patients in the US and the UK, the largest-ever clinical trial of its kind, 56% of the participants using the Flow tDCS headset were relieved of all depressive symptoms within 10 weeks**. Daily use of Flow was confirmed to be safe with minimal side effects.
Flow has already been granted regulatory approval in Europe where it is available over the counter via Flow's website and in major UK pharmacies. More than 12,000 people and 100 clinics/hospitals in Europe use Flow today, including NHS partnerships.
Preliminary results include:
The trial sites at the University of Texas and the University of East London measured the effectiveness and safety of the tDCS headset designed by Flow Neuroscience.
173 patients were taken through the at-home treatment program, completely remotely and with minimal supervision, over a 10-week period. This was the largest ever US/UK tDCS study for the treatment of depression.
56% of patients in the treatment group went into remission (complete relief from depression symptoms), and 62% had a clinical response (more than 50% improvement in depressive symptoms.)**
The study showed that participants had greater than three times higher odds of getting substantially better if they got the active treatment vs if they got placebo/sham stimulation, approximately double the average effect size witnessed in the trials for the 21 best-selling antidepressants reviewed by the FDA.
No major side effects were reported from the treatment group.
Flow's study results come at a time when depression is at an all-time high among U.S. adults, but with nearly half of Americans in 2021 reporting they did not seek help for clinical-level mental health issues, citing an increased desire for self-help options. The Flow tDCS headset and treatment is conveniently administered at home five times a week, creating an effective, safe, and accessible treatment option for depression.
How Flow works:
The Flow headset uses a brain-stimulation technique called tDCS to target the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, which is the area of the brain associated with depression.
Depression is associated with lowered activity in the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex (DLPFC). This area of the brain helps regulate mood, and focus, and can even impact sleep and appetite. When this area of the brain has lower activity, these functions are affected.
By delivering a weak electrical current (2 mA) to the DLPFC via electrodes placed on the forehead, activity increases in this part of the brain. This addresses what some researchers believe is one of the physical causes of depression.
Since Flow can target specific brain areas involved in depression directly, users experience little to no side effects compared to antidepressants.
Allan Young (Chair of Mood Disorders, Director of Centre for Affective Disorders in the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology, and Neuroscience at King's College London) said: "These exciting and encouraging new data raise the prospect of a real advance in the treatment of depression. Major depression is undertreated throughout the world, and all of the currently widely used treatment modalities have significant limitations. The nature of this treatment, being both effective and well tolerated, means that it is a treatment which may be widely adopted and should be a helpful intervention for many people suffering from major depression."
Azhar Zafar (GPA Director of Research, NHS GP, and Senior Lecturer at the University of Buckingham) said: "These findings are incredibly promising and align with the valuable insights gained from utilizing Flow in primary care. Flow has gained significant popularity among our NHS patients, and a considerable number of them willingly opt for Flow when presented with the choice for the treatment of depression with or without pharmacotherapy. This positive reception speaks volumes about the effectiveness and patient satisfaction associated with Flow."
Flow Neuroscience co-founder Daniel Månsson said: "Depression is one of the most common mood disorders, and unfortunately, it is also one of the hardest to treat. Our core mission was to create a treatment that is effective and accessible to as many people as possible in their own homes, with little to no side effects. The results of this clinical trial show how effective this treatment has become and how breakthroughs are still possible in the treatment of depression."
Corey Keller (Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University) said: 'These results show clear separation of active and sham treatment arms in a large, multisite, randomized controlled trial for at-home low-intensity brain stimulation for depression. Flow's novel brain stimulation approach could offer valuable opportunities for individuals to manage their depression from home effectively, signaling a very promising development in mental health treatment.'

It combines a brain stimulation wearable and an app-based therapy program to create a new effective, safe, and affordable way to treat depression, at home. The Flow headset offers a treatment you can take with you from your home to your office to your everyday. On average, the majority of Flow headset users see significant improvements within 4 to 6 weeks of treatment.
Notes to Editors:
*Based on a comparison of odds ratios, a standardized way of comparing clinical trials and a form of measurement for the difference in effect between treatment and placebo. The study showed that participants had greater than three times higher odds of getting substantially better if they got the active treatment vs if they got placebo/sham stimulation, approximately double the average effect size witnessed in the trials for the 21 best-selling antidepressants reviewed by the FDA.
**Measured by the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS). The trial was also measured by the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS-17), and results demonstrated 45% clinical remission and 55% had an improvement of at least 50%.

TOKYO, July 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Astellas Pharma Inc. (TSE: 4503, President and CEO: Naoki Okamura, "Astellas") today announced that the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of the China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) has accepted the Biologics License Application (BLA) for zolbetuximab, a first-in-class investigational Claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2)-targeted monoclonal antibody, for first-line treatment of patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic HER2-negative gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma whose tumors are CLDN18.2-positive. If approved, zolbetuximab would be the first CLDN18.2-targeted therapy available in China for these patients.
Astellas stands on the forefront of healthcare change to turn innovative science into value for patients.(PRNewsFoto/Astellas Pharma Inc.) (PRNewswire)
Moitreyee Chatterjee-Kishore, PhD, MBA, Senior Vice President and Head of Immuno-Oncology Development, Astellas
"China accounts for nearly half of the world's new cases of gastric cancer, with more than 478,000 new cases diagnosed and more than 373,000 deaths in 2020. The CDE's acceptance of our BLA for zolbetuximab brings us one step closer to having a new therapy available for Chinese patients with advanced-stage disease and in need of treatment options."
The BLA is based on results from the Phase 3 GLOW and SPOTLIGHT clinical trials. The GLOW study evaluated zolbetuximab plus CAPOX (a combination chemotherapy regimen that includes capecitabine and oxaliplatin) compared to placebo plus CAPOX. In the GLOW study, 145 patients were randomized in mainland China. The SPOTLIGHT study evaluated zolbetuximab plus mFOLFOX6 (a combination regimen that includes oxaliplatin, leucovorin and fluorouracil) compared to placebo plus mFOLFOX6. In the SPOTLIGHT study, 36 patients were randomized in mainland China.
In both GLOW and SPOTLIGHT, approximately 38% of patients screened for the trials had tumors that were CLDN18.2-positive (≥75% of tumor cells with moderate-to-strong membranous CLDN18 staining intensity), as determined by a validated immunohistochemistry assay.1,2
Astellas has already reflected the impact from this acceptance in its financial forecast of the current fiscal year ending March 31, 2024.
About Locally Advanced Unresectable or Metastatic Gastric and Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer
Gastric cancer, also commonly known as stomach cancer, is the fifth most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide.3 In China, gastric cancer ranks third among incidences of all cancer, with more than 478,000 cases diagnosed and more than 373,000 deaths in 2020.4 Signs and symptoms can include indigestion or heartburn, pain or discomfort in the abdomen, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea or constipation, bloating of the stomach after meals, loss of appetite, and sensation of food getting stuck in the throat while eating.5 Signs of more advanced gastric cancer can include unexplained weight loss, weakness and fatigue and vomiting blood or having blood in the stool.6 Risk factors associated with gastric cancer can include older age, male gender, family history, H. pylori infection, smoking and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).5,7 Because early-stage gastric cancer symptoms frequently overlap with more common stomach-related conditions, gastric cancer is often diagnosed in the advanced or metastatic stage, or once it has spread from the tumor's origin to other body tissues or organs.5 The five-year relative survival rate for patients at the metastatic stage is 6.6%.8 Gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma is a cancer that starts at the area where the esophagus joins the stomach.9
About Zolbetuximab
Zolbetuximab is an investigational, first-in-class chimeric IgG1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) that targets and binds to Claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2), a transmembrane protein. Zolbetuximab acts by binding to CLDN18.2 on the cancer cell surface of gastric epithelial cells. In pre-clinical studies, this binding interaction then induces cancer cell death by activating two distinct immune system pathways — antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC).10 Zolbetuximab has not been approved by any regulatory bodies for the treatment of patients with gastric and GEJ cancers, and there is no guarantee the agent will receive regulatory approval or become commercially available for the uses being investigated.
INVESTIGATIONAL STUDIES
About GLOW Phase 3 Clinical Trial
GLOW is a Phase 3, global, multi-center, double-blind, randomized study, assessing the efficacy and safety of zolbetuximab (IMAB362) plus CAPOX (a combination chemotherapy regimen that includes capecitabine and oxaliplatin) compared to placebo plus CAPOX as a first-line treatment in patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic HER2-negative gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma whose tumors were CLDN18.2-positive. The study enrolled 507 patients at 166 study locations in the U.S., Canada, United Kingdom, Europe, South America and Asia, including China. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS) in participants treated with the combination of zolbetuximab plus CAPOX compared to those treated with placebo plus CAPOX. Secondary endpoints include overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), duration of response (DOR), safety and tolerability and quality-of-life parameters.
Data from the GLOW study were initially presented at the March 2023 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Plenary Series with an updated oral presentation at the 2023 ASCO Annual Meeting on June 3.1
For more information, please visit clinicaltrials.gov under Identifier NCT03653507.
About SPOTLIGHT Phase 3 Clinical Trial
SPOTLIGHT is a Phase 3, global, multi-center, double-blind, randomized study, assessing the efficacy and safety of zolbetuximab (IMAB362) plus mFOLFOX6 (a combination regimen that includes oxaliplatin, leucovorin and fluorouracil) compared to placebo plus mFOLFOX6 as a first-line treatment in patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic HER2-negative gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma whose tumors were CLDN18.2-positive. The study enrolled 565 patients at 215 study locations in the U.S., Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Europe, South America and Asia, including China. The primary endpoint is PFS in participants treated with the combination of zolbetuximab plus mFOLFOX6 compared to those treated with placebo plus mFOLFOX6. Secondary endpoints include OS, ORR, DOR, safety and tolerability and quality-of-life parameters.
Data from the SPOTLIGHT clinical trial were presented during the 2023 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Gastrointestinal (GI) Cancers Symposium in an oral presentation on January 19 and were subsequently published in The Lancet on April 14.2
For more information, please visit clinicaltrials.gov under Identifier NCT03504397.
Investigational Pipeline in CLDN18.2
An expanded Phase 2 trial in metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma is in progress. The trial is a randomized, multi-center, open-label study, evaluating the safety and efficacy of investigational zolbetuximab in combination with gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel as a first-line treatment in patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma with CLDN18.2-positive tumors (defined as ≥75% of tumor cells demonstrating moderate-to-strong membranous CLDN18 staining based on a validated immunohistochemistry assay). For more information, please visit clinicaltrials.gov under Identifier NCT03816163.
In addition to zolbetuximab, ASP2138 is under development in our Primary Focus Immuno-Oncology. ASP2138 is a bispecific monoclonal antibody that binds to CD3 and CLDN18.2, and it is currently in a Phase 1 trial for people with gastric, GEJ or pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The safety and efficacy of the agent under investigation have not been established for the uses being considered. For more information, please visit clinicaltrials.gov under Identifier NCT05365581.
There is no guarantee that the agent will receive regulatory approval and become commercially available for the uses being investigated.

WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAW) - Not only is the Wisconsin Valley Fair a fun, family event, but it’s a piece of Central Wisconsin history. The anticipation for it to get started increases by the minute.
“It’s getting very exciting,” says Jodi Lengenhahn, Fair Administrator. “A lot of the setup is taking place, a lot of visible setup these days. We’ve done the indoor buildings, getting all that prepped and today the carnival company is on sight. So now you’re going to really see it turn into a fair.”
The final step is the assembly of 23 carnival rides.
“Everywhere we go is a different experience, which is why traveling and doing this kind of work is unique and fun,” says Thomas Thebault, GM, North American Midway Entertainment. “It looks like orchestrated chaos out there right now, but sooner or later it all comes together and looks like a carnival midway.”
With an event that draws plenty of hype, it also comes with plenty of pressure.
“Sometimes being the coordinator of all the small tasks is the hard part,” says Langenhahn. “Everybody has their job and it sort of is my job to make sure they all get done. And sometimes that could be a little tricky to just sort of be a step away from it and be hands off of the actual jobs themselves.”
The show wouldn’t go on if not for all of the people that help.
“We work really in conjunction with the parks department and they help out a ton on the setup,” says Lengenhahn. “I have people in the office that are amazing and they do their jobs. Then we also have Clayton from Pepsi, and all the vendors, and everybody. It really is a team.”

Results Show an Alternative Twice as Effective Compared to Antidepressant Medications
LONDON, July 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Flow Neuroscience, the creators of the Flow tDCS headset that provides at-home non-invasive brain stimulation to treat depression, today announced the results of its FDA pivotal clinical trial. The trial results show that the Flow headset was twice as effective as the most commonly-prescribed antidepressants in the treatment of depression.*
In July 2022, Flow received FDA Breakthrough Device Designation, demonstrating the innovative nature of the platform and the significant advantages it offers over existing approved or cleared alternatives.

In a study of patients in the US and the UK, the largest-ever clinical trial of its kind, 56% of the participants using the Flow tDCS headset were relieved of all depressive symptoms within 10 weeks**. Daily use of Flow was confirmed to be safe with minimal side effects.
Flow has already been granted regulatory approval in Europe where it is available over the counter via Flow's website and in major UK pharmacies. More than 12,000 people and 100 clinics/hospitals in Europe use Flow today, including NHS partnerships.

The trial sites at the University of Texas and the University of East London measured the effectiveness and safety of the tDCS headset designed by Flow Neuroscience.
173 patients were taken through the at-home treatment program, completely remotely and with minimal supervision, over a 10-week period. This was the largest ever US/UK tDCS study for the treatment of depression.
56% of patients in the treatment group went into remission (complete relief from depression symptoms), and 62% had a clinical response (more than 50% improvement in depressive symptoms.)**
The study showed that participants had greater than three times higher odds of getting substantially better if they got the active treatment vs if they got placebo/sham stimulation, approximately double the average effect size witnessed in the trials for the 21 best-selling antidepressants reviewed by the FDA.
No major side effects were reported from the treatment group.
Flow's study results come at a time when depression is at an all-time high among U.S. adults, but with nearly half of Americans in 2021 reporting they did not seek help for clinical-level mental health issues, citing an increased desire for self-help options. The Flow tDCS headset and treatment is conveniently administered at home five times a week, creating an effective, safe, and accessible treatment option for depression.
How Flow works:
The Flow headset uses a brain-stimulation technique called tDCS to target the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, which is the area of the brain associated with depression.
Depression is associated with lowered activity in the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex (DLPFC). This area of the brain helps regulate mood, and focus, and can even impact sleep and appetite. When this area of the brain has lower activity, these functions are affected.
By delivering a weak electrical current (2 mA) to the DLPFC via electrodes placed on the forehead, activity increases in this part of the brain. This addresses what some researchers believe is one of the physical causes of depression.
Since Flow can target specific brain areas involved in depression directly, users experience little to no side effects compared to antidepressants.
Allan Young (Chair of Mood Disorders, Director of Centre for Affective Disorders in the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology, and Neuroscience at King's College London) said: "These exciting and encouraging new data raise the prospect of a real advance in the treatment of depression. Major depression is undertreated throughout the world, and all of the currently widely used treatment modalities have significant limitations. The nature of this treatment, being both effective and well tolerated, means that it is a treatment which may be widely adopted and should be a helpful intervention for many people suffering from major depression."
Azhar Zafar (GPA Director of Research, NHS GP, and Senior Lecturer at the University of Buckingham) said: "These findings are incredibly promising and align with the valuable insights gained from utilizing Flow in primary care. Flow has gained significant popularity among our NHS patients, and a considerable number of them willingly opt for Flow when presented with the choice for the treatment of depression with or without pharmacotherapy. This positive reception speaks volumes about the effectiveness and patient satisfaction associated with Flow."
Flow Neuroscience co-founder Daniel Månsson said: "Depression is one of the most common mood disorders, and unfortunately, it is also one of the hardest to treat. Our core mission was to create a treatment that is effective and accessible to as many people as possible in their own homes, with little to no side effects. The results of this clinical trial show how effective this treatment has become and how breakthroughs are still possible in the treatment of depression."
Corey Keller (Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University) said: 'These results show clear separation of active and sham treatment arms in a large, multisite, randomized controlled trial for at-home low-intensity brain stimulation for depression. Flow's novel brain stimulation approach could offer valuable opportunities for individuals to manage their depression from home effectively, signaling a very promising development in mental health treatment.'

WAYNE COUNTY, Miss. (WDAM) - The Wayne County Sheriff’s Department has been working towards decreasing the number of drive-by shootings in the area.
WCSD Chief Deputy Jason Wiggins said the most recent shooting was in the Sand Bottom community, where a homeowner’s security measures helped spark the investigation.
Deputies arrested 18-year-old Jamarquez Rayshawen Smith and 16-year-old Deavious T. Twilie. Each suspect was charged with drive-by shooting and given a $500,000 bond.
“Judges in the community, they are fed up with these shootings,” said Wiggins. “They’re setting really high bonds, and I think they made an example right here. Judge Ralph Smith set a $500,000 bond and that’s what it calls for right now.
We’re trying to set an example for we’re not going to tolerate these kinds of shootings in this county.”
Wiggins said the community has also stepped up, actively helping with tips and leads.
“I’m getting calls four to five times a day from people in the community sending me pictures and video,” Wiggins said. “These suspects are going on Snapchat with guns, flashing guns, shooting, acting a fool, on social media and the community is sending it to me daily.”
Wiggins said these incidents are believed to be connected to the previous drive-by shootings this year and believed to be connected to local gangs from KBK, K4K and Shauters.

Moitreyee Chatterjee-Kishore, PhD, MBA, Senior Vice President and Head of Immuno-Oncology Development, Astellas
"China accounts for nearly half of the world's new cases of gastric cancer, with more than 478,000 new cases diagnosed and more than 373,000 deaths in 2020. The CDE's acceptance of our BLA for zolbetuximab brings us one step closer to having a new therapy available for Chinese patients with advanced-stage disease and in need of treatment options."
The BLA is based on results from the Phase 3 GLOW and SPOTLIGHT clinical trials. The GLOW study evaluated zolbetuximab plus CAPOX (a combination chemotherapy regimen that includes capecitabine and oxaliplatin) compared to placebo plus CAPOX. In the GLOW study, 145 patients were randomized in mainland China. The SPOTLIGHT study evaluated zolbetuximab plus mFOLFOX6 (a combination regimen that includes oxaliplatin, leucovorin and fluorouracil) compared to placebo plus mFOLFOX6. In the SPOTLIGHT study, 36 patients were randomized in mainland China.
In both GLOW and SPOTLIGHT, approximately 38% of patients screened for the trials had tumors that were CLDN18.2-positive (≥75% of tumor cells with moderate-to-strong membranous CLDN18 staining intensity), as determined by a validated immunohistochemistry assay.1,2
Astellas has already reflected the impact from this acceptance in its financial forecast of the current fiscal year ending March 31, 2024.
About Locally Advanced Unresectable or Metastatic Gastric and Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer
Gastric cancer, also commonly known as stomach cancer, is the fifth most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide.3 In China, gastric cancer ranks third among incidences of all cancer, with more than 478,000 cases diagnosed and more than 373,000 deaths in 2020.4 Signs and symptoms can include indigestion or heartburn, pain or discomfort in the abdomen, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea or constipation, bloating of the stomach after meals, loss of appetite, and sensation of food getting stuck in the throat while eating.5 Signs of more advanced gastric cancer can include unexplained weight loss, weakness and fatigue and vomiting blood or having blood in the stool.6 Risk factors associated with gastric cancer can include older age, male gender, family history, H. pylori infection, smoking and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).5,7 Because early-stage gastric cancer symptoms frequently overlap with more common stomach-related conditions, gastric cancer is often diagnosed in the advanced or metastatic stage, or once it has spread from the tumor's origin to other body tissues or organs.5 The five-year relative survival rate for patients at the metastatic stage is 6.6%.8 Gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma is a cancer that starts at the area where the esophagus joins the stomach.9
About Zolbetuximab
Zolbetuximab is an investigational, first-in-class chimeric IgG1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) that targets and binds to Claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2), a transmembrane protein. Zolbetuximab acts by binding to CLDN18.2 on the cancer cell surface of gastric epithelial cells. In pre-clinical studies, this binding interaction then induces cancer cell death by activating two distinct immune system pathways — antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC).10 Zolbetuximab has not been approved by any regulatory bodies for the treatment of patients with gastric and GEJ cancers, and there is no guarantee the agent will receive regulatory approval or become commercially available for the uses being investigated.
INVESTIGATIONAL STUDIES
About GLOW Phase 3 Clinical Trial
GLOW is a Phase 3, global, multi-center, double-blind, randomized study, assessing the efficacy and safety of zolbetuximab (IMAB362) plus CAPOX (a combination chemotherapy regimen that includes capecitabine and oxaliplatin) compared to placebo plus CAPOX as a first-line treatment in patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic HER2-negative gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma whose tumors were CLDN18.2-positive. The study enrolled 507 patients at 166 study locations in the U.S., Canada, United Kingdom, Europe, South America and Asia, including China. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS) in participants treated with the combination of zolbetuximab plus CAPOX compared to those treated with placebo plus CAPOX. Secondary endpoints include overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), duration of response (DOR), safety and tolerability and quality-of-life parameters.
Data from the GLOW study were initially presented at the March 2023 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Plenary Series with an updated oral presentation at the 2023 ASCO Annual Meeting on June 3.1
