Moderna sues Pfizer over patents behind COVID-19 vaccine
COVID-19 vaccine maker Moderna is suing Pfizer and the German drugmaker BioNTech, accusing its main com petitors of copying Mod erna’s technology in order to make their own vaccine.Moderna said Fri day that Pfizer and BioNTech’s vaccine Comirnaty infringes on patents Moderna filed several years ago pro tecting the technology behind its preventive shot, Spikevax. The company filed patent in fringement lawsuits in both U.S. federal court and a German court. Pfizer spokeswoman Pam Eisele said the com pany had not fully re viewed Moderna’s law suit, but the drugmaker was surprised by it, given that their vaccine is based on proprietary technology developed by both BioNTech and Pfizer.She said in an email that Pfizer Inc., based in New York, would “vig orously defend” against any allegations in the case.BioNTech did not im mediately respond to a request from The As sociated Press seeking comment.Moderna and Pfizer’s two-shot vaccines both use mRNA technology to help people fight the coronavirus.“When COVID-19 emerged, neither Pfiz er nor BioNTech had Moderna’s level of ex perience with devel oping mRNA vaccines for coronaviruses,” the company said in a com plaint filed Friday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massa chusetts.ThemRNA vaccines work by injecting a ge netic code for the spike protein that coats the surface of the corona virus. That code, the mRNA, is encased in a little ball of fat, and in structs the body’s cells to make some harmless spike copies that train the immune system to recognize the real virus. That approach is radi cally different than how vaccines have tradition ally been Modernamade.said it start ed developing its mRNA technology platform in 2010, and that helped the company quickly pro duce its COVID-19 vac cine after the pandemic arrived in early 2020. By the end of that year, U.S. regulators had cleared shots from both Pfizer and Moderna for use after clinical re search showed that both were highly effective. Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel said in a prepared statement that the vaccine devel oper pioneered that technology and invest ed billions of dollars in creatingModernait. worked with scientists at the Nation al Institutes of Health to test and develop its COVID-19 vaccine. The company said its law suit is not related to any patent rights generated during that collabora tion.

THE BUILDING’S his tory has reflected Iola’s changing retail land scape since it was built in 1901 as a small post office.Additions and renova tions were common. The building eventually be came a book and statio nery store before a busi ness college opened next door. The buildings were combined and extended from Madison Avenue to theThealley.Ramsay Brothers ran a dry goods store there in 1912, where it apparently remained in their hands into the 1950s.From there, it became Trout’s before the Whit worths came to town in 1970.They ran Mc Ginty-Whitworth for 46 years until Jerry closed up shop for good in 2016. From there, the store was used briefly as WaveFire, a gaming ven ue in which customers would stop by to buy or play role-playing board games and other video games.After 14 months, WaveFire closed its doors, leaving the build ing vacant until Trent and Shana Forsyth opened Faith and Farm, a clothing and gift store, in That2019. business closed earlier this year until Jock’s Nitch announced in July the sporting ap parel store would open a branch in Iola.

As each tin sheet was removed, French found the brick surface largelyFrenchunaffected.suspects the difference between the two buildings was in how the tin was mount ed.The Jock’s Nitch building tin was af fixed to metal brackets, while the Globe build ing tin was mounted on two-by-fours direct ly affixed to the brick. The condition of the mortar between the bricks also was a factor, he noted. The Globe building’s mor tar had eroded to the point “it was almost like a powder,” French said. “It all had to be cleaned out.” The mortar in the Jock’s Nitch building is in markedly better condition.Several passersby watched as French and coworkers meticulous ly removed the tin and attached awning, re vealing the old Trout’s sign and in some areas the word Trout’sRamsay.wasa wom en’s wear store for the better part of 20 years, from 1949 until Jerry and Sharon Whitworth purchased the building in 1970 and opened Mc Ginty-Whitworth.Thetinalso un veiled another relic of a bygone era, a pair of second-story windows with the name of Dr. Russell Nevitt, who op erated an office there after World War II until he built and operated a clinic and 12-bed hos pital in Moran until he retired in 1975. He was among sev eral health care pro fessionals who worked out of the second story through the years. Nevitt, who died in 1983, assisted in the de livery of 1,500 babies, “including several grandmothers still in the area,” Iola histori an Donna Houser said. Houser was among the onlookers watch ing as the tin was re moved last week. She has contacted Minton to let him know the Allen County His torical Society would be interested in acquiring the windows if they’re removed as part of the remodel.Minton replied he was uncertain what would become of the windows. Plans are to eventually convert the second story into an Airbnb, but that may be a year or two away.

The Kan sas secretary of state’s office certified Thursday that state Sen. Dennis Pyle secured more than the required 5,000 sig natures of registered voters to qualify as an independent candidate for governor on the Nov. 8 election.Potential of an insur gent campaign by Pyle, a right-wing conserva tive legislator from Hi awatha, generated anx iety among supporters of Republican guberna torial candidate Derek Schmidt and optimism within ranks of loyal ists for Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly. Democrats, in fact, helped collect signatures on Pyle’s be half.Pyle would draw votes from Schmidt assuming no challenge of findings by county clerks report ing to Secretary of State Scott Schwab was suc cessful in blocking his independent campaign. “I want to use this opportunity to again thank all of my cam paign volunteers and family members whose herculean effort and en thusiastic dedication to our petition drive made this day possible,” Pyle said in a statement. “I also want to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for giving us this amazing honor and op portunity to serve our fellow Kansans and be a blessing to Him.”
Pyle, who is running on a ticket with Kath leen Garrison, vowed to mount a campaign that illustrated “stark differ ences between our con servative beliefs and the radically liberal public policy views of our two opponents, Kelly and Schmidt.”Hesaid Schmidt and Kelly, who both previ ously served in the Kan sas Senate, voted togeth er on virtually “every liberal policy.” Schmidt was elected attorney general in 2010 after a decade in the Senate representing the Inde pendence area. Kelly was elected governor in 2018 and served a Tope ka district in the Senate since 2005. “If either of them wins this election, Kan sans are stuck with four more years of regulato ry overreach and con tinued high taxes,” Pyle said.Pyle said Kansans were disturbed by Kel ly’s “over-the-top” man dates on COVID-19 in relation to health and education freedom. He said voters were “dumb founded and confused” by overwhelming rejec tion Aug. 2 by Kansas voters of a proposed amendment to the Kan sas Constitution that could have opened a path to a ban on abor tion in the state. In addition, he said voters had reason to be “genuinely worried about the integrity and security of Kansas elec tions.” He said Kansans were drawn to leaders capable of resolving problems articulated by former President Don ald Trump. Schwab, the state’s top elections offi cer, said the election pro cess in Kansas was void of Emmafraud. O’Brien, spokesperson for the Kansas Democratic Par ty, said Pyle’s inclusion on the ballot through the petition process in dicated disenchantment with Schmidt. She said Schmidt was the front running Republican for more than one year, but received 80% of the primary vote despite running against a GOP candidate with an arrest record. NO.

“These are the un fortunate costs of reducing inflation,” Powell said in a high-profile speech at the Fed’s annual eco nomic symposium in Jackson Hole. “But a failure to restore price stability would mean far greater Investorspain.”had been hoping for a signal from Powell that the Fed might soon mod erate its rate increases later this year if infla tion were to show fur ther signs of easing. But the Fed chair in dicated that that time may not be Runawaynear.price in creases have soured most Americans on the economy, even as the unemployment rate has fallen to a half-cen tury low of 3.5%. It has also created political risks for President Joe Biden and congressio nal Democrats in this fall’s elections, with Republicans denounc ing Biden’s $1.9 tril lion financial support package, approved last year, as having fueled inflation. Stocks tumbled after Powell’s remarks, and bond yields rose, a sign that investors foresee more large interest rate hikes ahead. Some on Wall Street expect the economy to fall into recession later this year or early next year, after which they expect the Fed to reverse itself and reduce rates. A number of Fed offi cials have pushed back against that notion. Powell’s remarks sug gest that the Fed is aim ing to raise its bench mark rate — to about 3.75% to 4% by next year — but not so high as to tank the economy, in hopes of slowing growth long enough to conquer high inflation. “The idea they are trying to hammer into the market’s head is that their approach makes a rapid pivot to (rate cuts) unlikely,” said Eric Winograd, an economist at asset manager AllianceBer nstein. “They are going to stay tight even when it hurts.”Afterraising its key short term rate by a steep three-quarters of a point at each of its past two meetings — part of the Fed’s fastest series of rate increases since the early 1980s — Powell said the Fed might ease up on that pace “at some point” — suggesting that any such slowing isn’t near.

Kansas officials affirm Pyle’s spot on ballot in governor’s race
JACKSON HOLE, Wyoming (AP) — Fed eral Reserve Chair Je rome Powell delivered a stark message Fri day: The Fed is deter mined to fight inflation with more sharp inter est rate hikes, which will likely cause pain for Americans in the form of a weaker econ omy and job losses.

FBI affidavit shows concerns about documents at Trump estate
The study authors stressed the need to increase insur ance coverage for methadone, incentivize more doctors to prescribe buprenorphine, and decrease stigma around addiction in medical settings.

marked at the top secret level. They also show that federal agents are investigating potential violations of three fed eral laws, including one that governs gathering, transmitting or losing defense information under the Espionage Act. The other statutes address the conceal ment, mutilation or re moval of records and the destruction, alter ation or falsification of records in federal inves tigations.It’spossible that the affidavit, particularly in its unredacted form, could shed light on key unanswered questions, including why sensitive presidential documents — classified documents, among them — were transported to Mar-aLago after Trump left the White House and why Trump and his representatives did not supply the entire tranche of material to the National Archives and Records Adminis tration despite repeated entreaties.

THE NATIONAL Survey on Drug Use and Health, a feder al study on addiction rates, is household-based — meaning incarcerated people or peo ple living on the street, both of whom suffer from high rates of addiction, are likely missed.And because drug use is criminalized and stigma around addiction remains high, even people who are reached by surveyors might not say they have an opioid use disorder, Krawczyk said.
By AUBREY WHALEN The Philadelphia Inquirer
Despite improvements in treatment access as the over dose crisis has spiraled over the last decade, many people with opioid use disorder ar en’t getting medications to treat their addiction, a new study has found. And the disorganized na ture of data collection around addiction means it’s difficult to estimate the true scope of the treatment gap in the Unit edTheStates.study, conducted by researchers at New York University, Columbia Univer sity, and the Centers for Dis ease Control and Prevention, looked at the estimated num ber of people with opioid use disorder nationwide between 2010 and 2019, and compared that with the number of peo ple receiving medication treatment — buprenorphine or methadone. Both opioid medications are proven to help maintain a more lasting recovery than quitting cold turkey.Methadone is heavily fed erally regulated and typically dispensed through special ly designated clinics. People typically must report to their clinic daily for a liquid dose of methadone. Buprenor phine is an oral pill medica tion that must be prescribed by a specially licensed doctor but can be taken at home. Data on how many people use medication to treat opi oid use disorder are scattered across different databases, and estimating how many people are struggling with an opioid addiction in the Unit ed States is even harder, said Noa Krawczyk, an assistant professor in the department of population health at NYU’s Grossman School of Medi cine and the study’s lead au thor. “We have to rely on a lot of disjointed data,” she said.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Fourteen of the 15 boxes recovered from former President Don ald Trump’s Florida es tate early this year con tained documents with classification markings, including at the top se cret level, according to an FBI affidavit released Friday explaining the justification for this month’s search of the property.The32-page affidavit, even in its heavily re dacted form, offers the most detailed descrip tion to date of the gov ernment records being stored at Trump’s Mara-Lago property long after he left the White House and reveals the gravity of the govern ment’s concerns that the documents were there“Theillegally.government is conducting a criminal investigation concern ing the improper remov al and storage of clas sified information in unauthorized spaces, as well as the unlawful con cealment or removal of government records,” an FBI agent wrote on the first page of the affidavit in seeking a judge’s permission for a warrant to search the property.Theaffidavit does not provide new details about the 11 sets of clas sified records recovered during the Aug. 8 search at Mar-a-Lago but in stead concerns a sepa rate batch of 15 boxes that the National Ar chives and Records Ad ministration retrieved from the home in Janu ary.In those boxes, ac cording to the affida vit, officials located 184 documents bearing classification markings, including 25 documents marked as top secret. Agents who inspected the boxes found mark ings related to informa tion provided by confi dential human sources as well as information related to the Foreign Intelligence Surveil lanceTakenAct. together, the affidavit reveals ad ditional details about an ongoing criminal investigation that has brought fresh legal per il for Trump just as he lays the groundwork for another presiden tial run. It also shows in stark detail the volume of sensitive government documents that were stored at Mar-a-Lago instead of being turned over to the National Ar chives.The FBI submitted the affidavit, or sworn statement, to a judge so it could obtain the war rant to search Trump’s property. Affidavits typ ically contain vital in formation about an in vestigation, with agents spelling out the justifica tion for why they want to search a particular property and why they believe they’re likely to find evidence of a poten tial crime there.
To reach a more accurate estimate of the extent of opioid addiction in the U.S., Krawczyk and other research ers consulted a more compre hensive 2018 study from Mas sachusetts, which estimated that opioid addiction rates in the state were nearly 4.5 times higher than federal estimates. Applying that multiplier na tionwide, Krawczyk said, data show that it’s likely that around 86% of people with opioid use disorder aren’t re ceiving medications for it. And even without multi plying the federal estimates — assuming a much smaller population of Americans is addicted to opioids — there’s still a significant number of Americans with opioid ad diction who aren’t accessing medication, around 40%.

THERE ARE a number of barriers that keep people from accessing methadone and buprenorphine to treat their addictions — from strict federal regulations on the medications themselves to local zoning laws that make it difficult to open new meth adone clinics. And while the study found that treatment access has almost doubled in the United States since 2010, overdose rates have also steadily risen since then as well — suggesting that too many still aren’t getting the help they need.
“Part of the motivation for doing this is to scream that we haven’t even gotten much better in how we’ve addressed this issue,” Krawczyk said. “And a sad part of the story is that we do know a lot of ways that we could be addressing this problem.”
In a separate docu ment unsealed Friday, Justice Department of ficials explained that it was necessary to redact some information to “protect the safety and privacy of a significant number of civilian wit nesses, in addition to law enforcement per sonnel, as well as to pro tect the integrity of the ongoing includingclassifiedthethelyward.investigationedaffidavitsealficialsalcameaffidavit.redactedFridayderedinhartthenarymentstriking.tionsReinhartMagistratemakingpendingremainAffidavitsinvestigation.”routinelysealedduringinvestigations,thedecisionbyJudgeBrucetorevealporofitallthemoreInanacknowledgoftheextraordipublicinterestininvestigation,ReonThursdayorthedepartmentbytomakepublicaversionoftheThedirectivehoursafterfederlawenforcementofsubmittedundertheportionsofthethattheywanttokeepsecretastheirmovesforDocumentspreviousmadepublicshowFBIretrievedfromproperty11setsofdocuments,information
“Even in the best-case sce nario, we are still missing a high portion of the popu lation with opioid use dis order,” Krawczyk said. “We didn’t need to know exactly what the gap is in order to know that there is one, but it’s important to understand what the extent of the prob lem is.”
Study: Opioid addiction treatment still lacking
Thomas Jefferson once wrote critically of those who “look at constitutions with sanctimonious reverence, and deem them like the arc of the covenant, too sacred to be touched.” While he firmly op posed “frequent and untried changes in laws,” he argued that, in the end “laws and in stitutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind.” In other words, as people learn and grow and change, their constitutions necessarily should too. These words are on my mind today, with one failed constitutional amendment in our recent past and another constitutional amendment facing Kansas voters this com ingThereNovember.have always been Americans who believe that society needs clear and un changing constitutional rules, reflecting clear and unchang ing values, or else it will fall apart. It’s undeniable that there is much truth in that be lief.But some of these people seem to express far more con fidence as to the content of those values, and the opera tion of those rules, than is jus tified. Which means that when the democratically expressed interests of the people—their “mind” in Jefferson’s terms-come to challenge what those individuals assume to be nec essarily unchanging rules and values, they sometimes see it as a political development that they need to save the “true” or “authentic” constitution from.When the Kansas Supreme Court determined that the guarantee of “equal and in alienable natural rights” in the Kansas Constitution in cluded at least a limited pro tection of “bodily integrity” and therefore the right of Kansas women to choose abor tion, anti-abortion voters, and those who represent them, were furious, which was to be expected. But their response was to propose amending the Kansas Constitution itself, so as to make it impossible for people to legally or politically interpret the document in that way. That proposal was firmly rejected on Aug. 2. Come Nov. 8, there will be another amendment on the ballot, this one designed to increase the power of the leg islature in Topeka, enabling it to exercise exclusive veto power over how the governor chooses to implement the laws which the legislature itself had written and passed. This proposal, like the last one, is driven by political fury, this time to the way Governor Kel ly, at the beginning of the pan demic, used the power grant ed her under existing laws to order school closures and take other extensive public health measures, actions that were highly unpopular with certain voters and their representa tives. A legislative veto is their proposedLegislativeresponse.vetoes aren’t a new idea; there are plenty of good legal and theoretical ar guments both for and against them. What’s notable here is not the arguments being made, but the political reality inspiring them. In both cases, we have a specific action or de cision which created a convic tion that something shouldn’t be politically possible—that abortion can’t possibly be in terpreted as a right, or that a governor’s emergency powers can’t possibly be used in ways which a legislative majori ty dislikes—in turn causing people who claim to value sta bility looking to change the constitutional basis of those powers and interpretations themselves.

Bringing the world closer Internationals are help ing put Iola on the map. Two stories in Friday’s Register highlight those fromOneabroad.features Yuki Ikeza ki, a Japanese soccer player at Allen Community Col lege, The other was the re cent visit by Ivan Speck and his daughter, Iola. Ikezaki is one of dozens of foreign students studying at ACC. In fact, the men’s soccer team has recruited players from an estimated 45 countries over the years, according to Doug Desmar teau, ACC athletic direc tor and head coach for the men’s soccer team. In Friday’s story, Ikezaki commented on what he finds unique about his experience here, including the sheer size of the United States. The U.S. is about 26 times the land mass of Japan, and three times its population: 329 million to 125.5 million. Ivan Speck had similar comments. The U.S. is about 40 times the size of the Unit ed Kingdom, which includes Scotland and Wales, and has about 66 million people. “So though we don’t have far to travel to get anywhere in the UK, we can’t get any where quickly,” because the roads are always choked with traffic. “There’s no such thing as an ‘open road.’”And at $9.50 a gallon, that idling in traffic adds up. Though they were in town for only a couple of days, the Specks made good use of their time, visiting not only local landmarks recogniz ing the coincidence of the 14-year-old’s name but also Humboldt.Atdinner Thursday eve ning, Ivan indulged us with his perspective on British current events. He did not vote in 2016 for Brexit, the withdrawal of Great Britain from the Eu ropean Union in 2020. Ivan viewed the debate as more of a nationalist reaction to immigrants than of eco nomic proprietary. As with the United States, those coming from much poorer countries are “willing to take on jobs that we deem below us in order to have a better life,” said Ivan. “The Brits are basically lazy peo ple,” he joked. The result, he said, is soaring inflation because of a backlog in production and transport of goods. “Or that also could be be cause of the war in Ukraine or COVID,” he said. “We’re all being hit by a combina tion of calamities.” He lauded the United Kingdom’s response to COVID-19, but only after the initial hiccup of health and government officials’ strategy of pushing for herd immunity and eschewing guidelines such as social distancing. That tack pro posed the virus be allowed to spread throughout so that a high level of immunity could be achieved by natural infection.Thecost in human life “was devastating,” Ivan said, resulting in one of the highest death rates per cap ita.“But once officials de cided to follow the science and got us the vaccines, the response was terrific,” he said. Today, 80% of citizens there have received at least one dose of the vaccination; 75% are fully vaccinated. For Americans, 74% have received one dose; 63% are fully vaccinated. For Allen County, about 51% have re ceived one dose; 47% are ful ly vaccinated.
Iola Speck and and her father, Ivan, of England, visited Iola this week. Ever since the 14-yearold discovered she shared her name with Iola, Kansas, she has wanted to visit. Her father brought that dream to fruition with a two-week trek starting from Chicago. REGISTER/VICKIE MOSS
Coincidentally,Shoot. Ivan is a journalist who has traveled the world covering sporting events including the Olym pics, the Tour de France, professional tennis and soccer, and more. For many years he worked for The Daily Mail, one of England’s most established newspa pers. And like every met ropolitan newspaper, the Daily Mail has dramatically downsized.“Iwasredundant,” Speck said, and in 2013 was let go. He has since found work covering sports for Pre mier League and English Football League matches across the country as well as work as the PR director for a non-profit that introduces inner-city youths to sports. “I’m just as busy,” he said, though the perks aren’t as nice, jetting here and there to interview sports celebri ties.Over the course of the evening, we shared our perceptions of each other’s lives. Sometimes we laughed at how similar were our sit uations — the challenges of inflation, the fear of rising escalation in Ukraine, the danger of divisive politics. And at other times we mar veled at how different things were, mostly because of our demographics. It’s nothing for Ivan and Iola to be in a crowd where several lan guages are being spoken. At evening’s end I also thought about the opportu nity we have as a commu nity that our community college is hosting students from all over the world. Ivan and Iola reminded me that the more I learn about their lives, the broad er my understanding is of the world.
IVAN DISMISSED any discussion about the royal family’s drama. No, he hasn’t watched the PBS series, “The Crown.” “I’m no royalist,” he said. And any news about Queen Elizabeth and her offspring “is only to generate profits for media outlets.”

When politics and constitution collide
35 Years Ago August 1987 Jerry Hodges of rural Iola is a chimney sweep and takes the profession and its tra ditions seriously. He shows up to do his “dirty work” dressed in top hat and tails, an outfit adopted by English chimney sweeps many years ago. The black clothes keep the soot from showing and, he thinks wearing the formal clothes was done deliberate ly to poke fun at the wealthy who hired sweeps to clean the chimneys of mansions heat ed by coal. He also heard one theory that sweeps acquired the clothes discarded by fu neral homes who provided them to mourners hired to attend funerals of those who had no families.
I’M WITH Jefferson; I don’t think constitutions are sacred, and changing them doesn’t strike me as at all illegitimate. But when the impetus behind a proposed amendment isn’t an engagement with legal or theoretical arguments, but rather a politically-driven con viction, maybe voters should think twice. They did three weeks ago; whether they will again in November remains to be seen. Dr. Russell Arben Fox teach es political science at Friends University in Wichita.

Radiation leak fears mount near nuke plant
Electric car drivers charge their vehicles at a Tesla Supercharger in Fountain Val ley, Calif, in March.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California set itself on a path Thurs day to end the era of gas-powered cars, with air regulators adopting the world’s most strin gent rules for transi tioning to zero-emission vehicles.Themove by the Cal ifornia Air Resources Board to have all new cars, pickup trucks and SUVs be electric or hy drogen by 2035 is likely to reshape the U.S. auto market, which gets 10% of its sales from the na tion’s most populous state.But such a radical transformation in what people drive will also require at least 15 times more vehicle chargers statewide, a more robust energy grid and vehicles that people of all income levels can afford. “It’s going to be very hard getting to 100%,” said Daniel Sperling, a board member and founding director of the Institute of Transporta tion Studies at the Uni versity of California, Davis. “You can’t just wave your wand, you can’t just adopt a regu lation — people actually have to buy them and useDemocraticthem.”

The switch from gas will drastically reduce emissions and air pol lutants. Transportation is the single largest source of emissions in the state, accounting for about 40% of the state’s greenhouse gas emis sions. The air board is working on different regulations for motorcy cles and larger trucks. California envisions powering most of the economy with electric ity, not fossil fuels by 2045. A plan released by the air board earlier this year predicts electricity demand will shoot up by 68%. Today, the state has about 80,000 public chargers. The Califor nia Energy Commission predicted that needs to jump to 1.2 million by 2030.The commission says car charging will ac count for about 4% of energy by 2030 when use is highest, typically during hot summer eve nings. That’s when Cali fornia sometimes strug gles to provide enough energy because the amount of solar power diminishes as the sun goes down. In August 2020, hundreds of thousands of people briefly lost power due to high demand that outstripped supply. That hasn’t hap pened since and to ensure it doesn’t go ing forward Newsom, a Democrat, is pushing to keep open the state’s last-remaining nuclear plant beyond its planned closure in 2025 and the state may turn to diesel generators or natural gas plants as a backup when the electrical grid is strained.Morethan 1 million people drive electric cars in California today and their charging hab its vary, but most people end up charging their cars in the evening or overnight, said Ram Rajagopal, an associate professor of civil and environmental engi neering at Stanford Uni versity who has studied car charging habits and energy grid needs. If people’s charging habits stay the same, once 30% to 40% of cars are electric, the state would need to add more energy capacity over night to meet demand, he said. The regulations adopted Thursday re quire 35% of vehicle sales to be electric by 2026, up from 16% now But if more peo ple charged their cars during the day, that problem would be avoid ed, he said. Changing to daytime charging is “the biggest bang for the buck you’re going to get,” he said. Both the state and federal government

Gov. Gavin Newsom told state regulators two years ago to adopt a ban on gas-powered cars by 2035, one piece of Cali fornia’s aggressive suite of policies designed to reduce pollution and fight climate change. If the policy works as de signed, California would cut emissions from vehi cles in half by 2040. Other states are ex pected to follow, further accelerating the produc tion of zero-emissions vehicles.Washington state and Massachusetts already have said they will fol low California’s lead and many more are likely to — New York and Pennsylvania are among 17 states that have adopted some or all of California’s tailpipe emission standards that are stricter than feder al rules. The Europe an Parliament in June backed a plan to effec tively prohibit the sale of gas and diesel cars in the 27-nation European Union by 2035, and Can ada has mandated the sale of zero-emission cars by the same year. California’s policy doesn’t ban cars that run on gas — after 2035 people can keep their ex isting cars or buy used ones, and 20% of sales can be plug-in hybrids that run on batteries and gas. Though hydro gen is a fuel option un der the new regulations, cars that run on fuel cells have made up less than 1% of car sales in recent years.
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Authorities began distributing iodine tab lets to residents near Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant Friday in case of a radi ation leak, amid mount ing fears that the fight ing around the complex could trigger a catastro phe.The move came a day after the plant was tem porarily knocked offline because of what offi cials said was fire dam age to a transmission line.The incident height ened dread of a nucle ar disaster in a country still haunted by the 1986 explosion at Cher nobyl.Continued shelling was reported in the area overnight, and satel lite images from Planet Labs showed fires burn ing around the complex — Europe’s biggest nu clear plant — over the last several days. Iodine tablets, which help block the absorp tion of radioactive iodine by the thyroid gland in a nuclear acci dent, were issued in cialssecureintryingergytheamongsmallplant.aboutcityUkrainian-controlledtheofZaporizhzhia,27milesfromtheAwomanandherdaughterwerethosereceivingpills.TheU.N.’satomicenagencyhasbeentosendateamtoinspectandhelptheplant.Offisaidpreparations for the trip were under way, but it remained un clear when it might take place.The Zaporizhzhia plant has been occu pied by Russian forces and run by Ukrainian workers since the early days of the 6-month-old war. The two sides have repeatedly accused each other of shelling the site.In Thursday’s in cident, Ukraine and Russia blamed one an other for the transmis sion-line damage that knocked the plant off the power grid. Exactly what went wrong was not clear, but Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelenskyy said the plant’s emer gency backup diesel generators had to be activated to supply elec tricity to operate the complex.Theplant requires power to run the reac tors’ vital cooling sys tems. A loss of cooling could lead to a nuclear meltdown.Ukrenergo, Ukraine’s transmission system op erator, reported Friday that two damaged main lines supplying the plant with electricity had resumed operation, ensuring a stable power supply.The country’s nucle ar power agency, Ener goatom, said the plant had been reconnected to the grid and was pro ducing electricity “for Ukraine’s needs.”

IHS girls tennis begins year at Chanute Invitational
Iola’s Rebekah Coltrane hits a ball in her rst match at Chanute. REGISTER/ QUINN BURKITT By QUINN BURKITT The Iola Register KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Patrick Mahomes gazed over the first-team Kansas City offense Thursday night, lined up before him as if members of a choir, and together the Chiefs took a poignant penalty to honor Hall of Fame quarterback Len Dawson. Then they beat the Green Bay Packers 17-10 in an otherwise forgettable preseason finale.Third-string quarterback Shane Buechele outplayed Chiefs backup Chad Henne, throwing for 166 yards with a pair of TD tosses to journeyman tight end Matt Bushman. Isaih Pacheco capped a strong rookie camp for Kansas City with 52 yards rushing, while veteran Ronald Jones ran for 43 yards in a last-ditch effort at securing a Meanwhile,job.the Packers’ Jordan Love threw for 148 yards with an interception in his final work before Aaron Rodgers takes over for the regular season. Trent Goodson ran for 28 yards and a score as he tries to win the No. 3 running back job. Yet it was the penalty to honor Dawson, who died this week at the age of 87, that left the lasting impression.
Baylor had a 10-win improvement from coach Dave Aranda’s debut only a year earlier. The Bears went 12-2, including a 21-16 win in the Big 12 title game after fourth-and-goal stop in the final minute. They host Oklahoma State on Oct. Blake1. Shapen became Baylor’s top quarterback after the sophomore beat out since-departed incumbent starter Gerry Bohanon in spring drills. Shapen was the Big 12 championship game MVP in one of his two starts last year when Bohanon was injured. Four new schools join the Big 12 next summer, and three of them are in The Associated Press preseason Top 25: No. 23 Cincinnati, No. 24 Houston and No. 25 BYU. That matches the number of current league members ranked: No. 9 Oklahoma, Baylor and Oklahoma State.The Big 12 was first a 10team league in 2011 after Colorado left for the Pac-12 and Nebraska for the Big Ten. Oklahoma State won the outright Big 12 championship that season, the first of six years in a row the league didn’t have a title game.TCU and West Virginia joined the Big 12 in 2012, the same year that Bob Bowlsby became commissioner. Texas A&M and Missouri left then for the Southeastern Conference, where they will be joined by past national champions Oklahoma and Texas no later than the 2025 season.“You’ve seen great coaches, great teams, really consistently play week in and week out,” said Iowa State’s Matt Campbell, the league’s second-longest tenured coach in his seventh season. “It makes every game that gets played in this conference really special.”

It came after the first-team Chiefs defense forced the Packers, playing their starting offensive line with Love and a host of backups, to a 3-and-out to start the game. Mahomes headed onto the field with most of Kansas City’s starting offense and lined them up in the old-fashioned style of huddle favored by Dawson in the 1960s and ’70s.“We all wanted to do something,” Mahomes said. “Obviously, we’re praying for his family, but he did so much to impact the Kansas City community and this organization.

Green Bay declined it. There were plenty of other tributes Thursday night to “Lenny the Cool,” who led the Chiefs to their first Super Bowl title before becoming known to millions more football fans as a Hall of Fame broadcaster. There was a moment of silence before the game and the Chiefs wore a sticker with the No. 16 on his helmet.“Hereally took advantage of every day he had on Earth here,” Chiefs coach Andy ReidMahomes,said. who had an excellent first two preseason games, never took a snap before joining Travis Kelce and other Chiefs stars on the sideline. Other starters, such as running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire, were done after a couple of snaps. Most of the work went to those competing for the last few jobs, which must be decided before Tuesday’s deadline for teams to cut rosters to 53 players. Tight end Jody Fortson continued to solidify his job with three catches for 26 yards, while just about everyone on the backup offensive line struggled to lock down a “Whenjob.you look at your eight, ninth lineman and you look at your fifth linebacker and your sixth receiver, those guys are really going to end up starting, playing meaningful minutes throughout the course of the season,” Chiefs Chiefs beat Packers in preseason nale
“These two continue to be fun players to watch and the way they represent our school in both kindness and sportsmanship is awesome,” said Belknap of the duo’s performance.The final doubles pair to match up for Iola were Riebel and Palmer who also went 0-4. Riebel and Palmer were shut out by Labette’s Madison Helwig and Lakin Giager, 8-0. They then fell to Neodesha’s Jill DeLong and Charlee Anderson, 8-1. The duo then went up against Columbus’ Brooklyn Lima and Hailey Ediger who they lost to, 8-2. In the last match, Chanute’s Lena Aguilar and Paige Kueser prevailed 8-1 over the Mustangs. “Both of these two are starting off the year playing varsity for the first time.

The state of the Big 12
Mike Gundy is the only Big 12 head coach still around from the last time the conference was going through so much change. That a little more than a decade ago, about the time Oklahoma State won its only championship in the league.With new commissioner Brett Yormark already in place, the Big 12 is going into its 12th and final season with 10 teams before getting bigger. “I don’t think there’s any question as this moves forward that the Big 12 Conference is in a tremendous position,” said Gundy, the former Oklahoma State quarterback in his 18th season as head coach at his almaGundymater.feels the same way about his 12th-ranked Cowboys, with fourth-year starting quarterback Spencer Sanders among 10 returning offensive starters after they came up only inches short of beating Baylor in the Big 12 championship game last December — and maybe making the four-team College Football Playoff. Oklahoma State has had 17 consecutive winning seasons, all with bowl appearances.“Wedon’t really get out of our box much at Oklahoma State,” Gundy said. “We have a culture and a philosophy and a system we believeTenth-rankedin.”
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — If you had the happy fortune to spend time with Len Dawson on occasion, the conversation almost invariably touched on what he considered the serendipity of his own life — quirks of fate he reckoned were bestowed upon him by birthright as “the seventh son of a seventh son.”Never mind that the arc of his remarkable journey was far more about pluck than luck. And that most of the folklore about seventh sons of seventh sons emphasizes that the legacy conferred powers of healing and clairvoyance more than luck, per se. And that he was in, fact, the ninth of 11 childrenBecauseoverall.when it came to Dawson, it was a little bit like Stanley Kowalski said in Tennessee Williams’ “A Streetcar Named Desire”: “Luck is believing you’re lucky.”Certainly, Dawson prospered by that outlook. Not to mention it was a nice way of conveying humility despite having little to be humbleSoabout.the pure luck of a seventh son of a seventh son was the theme of his induction speech at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1987. And it was a thesis he had a way of trying to reinforce about any time, anywhere.“Ijusthappened to be at the right spot at the right time to get an opportunity,” he said, invoking the phrase when we spoke at the Chiefs’ training facility on the occasion of his 50th year in Kansas City. At his dining room table in 2017, he alluded to the term as he spoke about his health issues and the impending end of his broadcasting career, and stressed that most people likely would opt in if they could have led his life. It was, in fact, a wonderful and singular life that came to an end this week. Early Wednesday morning, KMBC-TV shared a statement from Dawson’s widow, Linda, and his family, saying that Dawson had died. He was Revered87. around the nation for his role in the surging rise of pro football and the grace and even chill with which he played and conveyed off the field, Dawson became one of only three men (along with Frank Gifford and Dan Dierdorf) inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame as both a player andQuitebroadcaster.afeat in any context, but all the more improbable after an hometownmereductionhehe?wouldfromtheydayLentime,wouldberedtinedwhobecamefihadpartten-underappreciatedof-ofhisstory:HelanguishedthroughveNFLseasonsandanafterthoughthardlyseemeddes-tobewell-remem-ineithercapacity.“Iamsureifanyonehaveaskedatthat‘Don’tyouthinkDawsonmightonebehere?’…aftergotupoffthefloorlaughing,theysay,‘WhyshouldWhathashedone?’”saidathis1987in-inCanton,a20milesfromhisofAlliance, Ohio.Among his other ripples nationally, he later became a prominent voice as a host of HBO’s “Inside The NFL” and was recognized as the 1972 NFL Man of the Year for his contributions on the field and in theButcommunity.allofthose accolades and achievements emanated from his role and stature and indelible legacy in Kansas City, a place he helped transform and where he would become one of our most enduring and endearing figures. He was perhaps Kansas City’s first true sports icon. And, better yet, by way of an entirely unique path full of curious twists. ‘He never let you see him sweat’ It’s funny to think of this now, but one of those turns paralleled his own initial bafflement about Kansas City before he arrived. As the Dallas Texans of the AFL were preparing to move to Kansas City and become the Chiefs after the 1962 AFL Championship season, Dawson among others perceived the area as a cowtown … possibly with livestock running wild. He also didn’t know there was a difference between Kansas City, Missouri, and Kansas City, Kansas. Moreover, he wasn’t reassured about the move after only 5,721 fans came to old Municipal Stadium for their first preseason game against Buffalo in 1963. “I think we were supposed to go out and throw footballs into the stands,” Dawson recalled with a laugh in 2013. “So I said, ‘Why don’t we just go up and shake (fans) hands and hand them to them?’ It wasn’t like it was a full house.”ButDawson soon became a fundamental element of creating rabid enthusiasm for the Chiefs and, in fact, a reason for the growth in perception and prestige of the Muchregion.like Patrick Mahomes today, he was the glamorous face of a captivating Chiefs era, standing out even among seven other Hall of Fame players on those teams. Those mesmerizing teams helped modernize the game and compel the merger with the NFL, as Kansas City played in two of the first four Super Bowls and drubbed the Minnesota Vikings 23-7 in Super Bowl EpitomizingIV.his astounding poise, that day Dawson completed 12 of 17 passes for 142 yards and a touchdown and was selected as the game’s MVP only days after he had been embroiled in a gambling investigation that proved unfounded.ThatSuper Bowl run also came just months after Dawson was out six weeks with a knee injury and only weeks after Dawson’s father, James, died after suffering a heart“Heattackwas always the same; he never let you see him sweat,” Chiefs coach Hank Stram, with whom Dawson was more entwined than even Mahomes and Andy Reid, said at Dawson’s Hall of Fame induction. “That’s why his teammates called him ‘Lenny the Cool.’”That’s why he’s long been chiseled onto any Mount Rushmore of Kansas City sports history and will forever stand as a Colossus over the area.Part of that is because he not only made news but delivered it. In 1966, Chiefs’ general manager Jack Steadman went to KMBC-TV and suggested an idea for a sports anchor who might boost ratings … and perhaps Chiefs’ ticket Thesales. concept seems preposterous now: Imagine Mahomes hurrying from practice to a TV studio, putting on a sports coat and anchoring the sports segments at 6 and 10 p.m. … and as part of the job telling people how the Chiefs are“Idoing.notonly asked the players to interview them, but I’d tell them the questions and give them the answers,” he joked in 2009 when he retired from anchoring full time.It all went over fine when the Chiefs played the Packers in the first Super Bowl that season. But when people complained that it was disrupting his focus in 1967 and 1968, Dawson liked to say, “At least you know where I am at 10 o’clock at night.” ‘Things happen to me’ While that further distinguished Dawson, whose broadcasting career spanned more than 50 years, including 34 with the Chiefs Radio Network, it also was a prime example of how availing himself to chance helped set him apart.“Things happen to me,” he said at the Hall of Fame in 1987. He also made things happen. And it’s telling about his outlook that Dawson saw his life as charmed despite such dark times as the death of his first wife and high school sweetheart, Jackie, at age 42 in 1978 following a stroke the year before.Dawson also had numerous health troubles over the years, including contending with prostate cancer, requiring quadruple-bypass heart surgery and suffering a miserable case of the shingles that left him needing a walker a few years ago. But he understood that attitude, and even aura, was everything … and that certain indulgences of destiny enabled his adventures. None was more tangible than in the form of Stram, who first met Dawson nearly 70 years ago when he was a Purdue assistant coach recruiting him. Or as Dawson put it at the Hall of Fame in 1987: “Had it not been for Hank Stram and knowing me, there would not have been a seventh look for the seventh son of a seventh son.” That connection may well never have been forged, though. And without it, Dawson almost certainly never would have played for Lamar Hunt’s franchise and likely never would have emerged as a star. As he was coming out of high school, Dawson had a sentimental attachment to Woody Hayes’ Ohio State program that was building toward a national title in 1954. But the idea of Ohio State was less attractive after he had a talk with Hayes about running an option offense.“Igot to thinking my health is going to be in the hands of some big defensive end determining whose head he’s going to take off; I knew it was going to be mine,” he said with a smile in 2013. “So that ended any thoughts whatsoever of me going to Ohio State.” Enter Stram, who was running a far more pass-oriented offense at Purdue. Ever the showman and salesman, Stram put together a highlight reel of the Boilermaker passing game for the discerning Dawson.After showing it to Dawson, the prospect playfully said, “‘Coach, I’ve got to ask you a question … Did any of your quarterbacks ever throw an incomplete forwardThatpass?’”proved the beginning of a beautiful relationship.InhisPurdue debut a season later, Dawson threw four touchdown passes in a 31-0 romp over Mizzou in one of the few scenarios we know of where he dismissed the meaning of luck: When wished good

luck entering the game by an assistant coach, Stram reported that Dawson said, “‘Thank you, Coach, but you don’t need luck; all you need is ability.’”Aweeklater, he threw four more TD passes as Purdue upset top-ranked Notre Dame. He was well on his way to leading the Big Ten in passing for three straight seasons and being drafted fifth overall in 1957 by the Pittsburgh Steelers.Buthis career stalled there, including behind Hall of Famer Bobby Layne in 1958 and 1959. Dawson then was traded to Cleveland, where coach Paul Brown professed he wanted to “see what he can do.”Nevertheless, Dawson started just one game in the next two seasons and threw just 28 passes (completing 15) for one touchdown with three interceptions.Approaching his 27th birthday, his career was on the verge of fizzling out before it even really started. So much so that Dawson began to face the idea he might have to make a career out of one of the offseason jobs he had selling life insurance or soft water.Improbably in its own right, Stram by then had become coach of the Dallas Texans of the fledgling AFL that Hunt had been instrumental in Thencreating.an assistant at Miami, Stram was at best Hunt’s third choice for the Texans job after he had tried to lure then-New York Giants assistant Tom Landry and Oklahoma coach Bud Wilkinson. According to Michael MacCambridge’s biography, “Lamar Hunt: A Life In Sports,” Hunt “didn’t have a clue” where to turn after that. He only considered Stram because of a nudge from longtime friend Bob Wilkes on their flight back from Norman,ThatOklahoma.ledtoacertain magic of its own between Hunt and Stram, who needed a catalyst to build around. So perhaps the one man who might still see a future in Dawson happened to attend a coaches’ convention in Pittsburgh, where Dawson still lived.“How things happen,” Dawson said in 2013, smiling. “He became the head coach in this new league. I had lunch with him, and he could see I wasn’t too“Hehappy.basically said, ‘If you ever get free, let me know. I’d love to have you on my team.’” Dawson abruptly got free: He simply went to Brown and asked to be put on waivers. Brown complied. A little too eagerly.“When you ask the coach to put you on waivers, and he says, ‘Oh, fine,’ yeah, I was off the radar,” Dawson said, laughing.WhenDawson arrived in Dallas, though, his skills had eroded. His release had slowed; at times, he found himself tripping over his own feet. He figured Stram had to be wondering, “Whoa, what happened to this guy?” And he heard Hunt was skeptical when he saw him practice. All in all, Dawson figured most observers “had me on the road back to wherever I wanted to Instead,go.”Dawson took the franchise where it could only have hoped to go after essentially being revived by Stram. He won the starting job, then became the MVP of the AFL on the way to the first of three league titles from 1962-69. It would be 50 years before the Chiefs returned to the Super Bowl after they won Super Bowl IV. But their status as perennial contenders now doesn’t diminish the marvels of a time led by Len Dawson. Like it said in the song “The Seventh Son,” written by Willie Dixon and popularized by Johnny Rivers in 1965: “In the whole wide world there is only“Defione.”nitely very, very fortunate,” Dawson said at his Hall of Fame induction. As were we all.

THE PREDICTIONS Baylor repeats, then Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, Kansas State, Texas, TCU, Iowa State, West Virginia, Texas Tech, Kansas.
MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Kansas State coach Chris Klieman likes to tell a story from late April or early May, back when his program was conducting a youth football camp, and he found himself watching running back Deuce Vaughn sign autographs for“Wekids.had a session that ended at 11:30 and the autographs were 11:30 to 12:00, and then there was a break for the players,” Klieman recalled with a smile. “As you can imagine, Deuce’s line was really, really long, and he stayed out there for an extra hour signing for every kid that was there, and taking pictures.”
INJURIES Packers: WR Christian Watson (knee surgery) did not play, which means the 34th overall because of COVID-19 protocols. Max Duggan could start for TCU again, but was competing with Chandler Morris for that job. Jalon Daniels is expected to start for Kansas even though Jason Bean is stillThreethere.
“Yeah, the kid is talented,” Klieman said, “but it just doesn’t happen. It’s doing all the little things on the field, off the field, in the classroom, in the community, in the weight room, in the rehab center so that you have your body at the very best, and then doing it with an absolute smile on your face no matter what.”
The Associated Press with high-level athletes for decades, says it’s important for coaches to remember their role. Coaches “have an opportunity to teach how to win and lose,” Naylor said. “Step one is remember you’re a model and you have this tremendous teaching opportunity.”Indiana manager Patrick Vinson took a similar approach to Ramos when reflecting on the tournament. He acknowledged not just how difficult it is to make it this far, but also how tough it is to sustain the level of play that got the team here. Teams in the “I love you guys,” Belisle told his team. “I’m gonna love you forever. You’ve given me the most precious moment in my athletic and coaching career, and I’ve been coaching a long time — a long time. I’m getting to be an old man. I need memories like this, I need kids like this. You’re all my boys. You’re the boys of summer.”
Klieman paused for a moment, then added: “He knows the gig.” It comes with stardom. Vaughn is perhaps the most important player for a Kansas State team many have pegged as a dark-horse contender for the Big 12 championship. He was third in the league in rushing last season behind Baylor’s Abram Smith and Iowa State’s Breece Hall, both of whom are now making their way in the NFL, and is a preseason All-American as an all-purpose player.
Vaughn looks to lead way
SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP) — Following an 8-1 loss to Nicaragua at the Little League World Series, Ubaldo Ramos IV gathered his Panama team one final time.Itwas an emotional group, as tears were shed in the postgame handshake line. A journey that had lasted all summer was over. But, like many coaches, Ramos had nothing but positive things to say. He congratulated his group, reminding the boys from ages 10 to 12 that so much more lies ahead. “I told the players this continues,” Ramos said through a translator. “They keep on playing baseball on to the next level.” Panama was one of four teams that saw their seasons end on Tuesday. Indiana, Canada and Iowa also lost elimination games. Of the 20 teams in the LLWS, only one will be the champion on Sunday.Theend of a Little League run is always tricky for coaches, acknowledging that nobody wins all the time while praising the effort it took to get to South loitte,psychologyleaderAdamWilliamsport.Naylor,theofperformanceforDe-whohasworked

“It’s kind of an awkward time for us having a game Thursday and having cuts on Tuesday,” said Packers coach Matt LaFleur, who hopes to squeeze in two more practices before making those decisions. “A lot of it’s going to come down to how guys perform on special teams. I thought they all did a lot of good things out there.”

Future uncertain as golf’s season of discontent nears end
Johnson. Bryson DeChambeau. Brooks Koepka. Louis Oosthuizen. Not to mention, reports are swirling that British Open winner Cameron Smith is among those who will announce their defection as soon as the Tour Championship is over. The biggest name landed by LIV was Phil Mickelson, who just 15 months ago became the oldest major winner in golf history at the PGA Championship.Hisreputation and his game have taken quite a beating since that triumphant moment at Kiawah Island, but Mickelson being at the forefront of LIV now makes him look like a bit of a visionary. Especially in light of the changes announced this week by the PGA Tour, which are largely a bucket list of the things Lefty wanted. “As much as I probably don’t want to give Phil any sort of credit at all, yeah, there were certain points that he was trying to make,” said Rory McIlroy, who has become a leading voice for players on the PGA Tour. “Were some of these ideas, did they have merit? Of course they did. But he just didn’t approach it the right way.”
He makes it all sound so MonahanIt’seasy.not. addressed one lingering issue by closing the door to players returning to the PGA Tour if they’ve been suspended for joining“EveryLIV. player has a choice,” he said. “I respect their choice, but they’ve made it. We’ve made ours. We’re going to continue to focus on the things that we control and get stronger andMovingstronger.”forward, will LIV players be allowed to take part in the four major championships if they qualify? Likely. Will LIV events count toward the world rankings? To be determined. What about that antitrust lawsuit filed by several LIV players against the PGA Tour? Check back in 2024, when it’s scheduled to go to Thistrial.season of discontent is just about over. But others are sure to follow.
But Monahan sounded a bit naive when he talked of the PGA Tour relying on more than checks with lots of zeros to fend off a foe with a seemingly blank check from the Saudi royal family, endorsed to anyone who’s good at swinging a club and willing to overlook the regime’s egregious record on human rights. Monahan used words like “history” and “legacy” and “sense of purpose” to describe the non-monetary value of sticking with the established tour. In reality, the only words that matter to most players: “Show me theEvenmoney.”though a clear majority of the world’s best still tee it up on the PGA Tour, the rival circuit has thrown around enough Saudi dough — with some signing bonuses reported at $150 million or more — to land a surprisingly stout lineup of bignameDustinplayers.
ATLANTA (AP) — Golf’s season of discontent reaches its official stopping point this weekend at the Tour Championship.Predictingwhere the sport goes from here is sort of like trying to hole a shot from the fairway.The PGA Tour was woefully slow in reacting to the challenge from upstart, Saudi-backed LIV Golf. When it finally mustered a defense on the historic grounds of East Lake Golf Club, it seemed nothing more than a bunch of warmed-over ideas pulled straight from rebel tour’s playbook. Mainly, it comes down to this: The top PGA Tour players will commit to taking part in a series of tournaments with heightened importance beginning in 2023, and they’ll all be cashing some enormous paychecks for their trouble. Sound familiar? The leader of LIV Golf sure thought so. Greg Norman quickly jumped on social media to gloat over the PGA Tour largely copying what his tour is already doing.“Aday late and a dollar short,” he wrote. More initiatives were unveiled by PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan, but any talk of growing the game or bringing in new fans is sure to take a backseat to the staggering amounts of money being thrown around by bothGolftours.has always been a game for the rich and powerful, and nearly everything that’s happened over the past few months will only solidify that image for potential fans outside the top income bracket, those folks who aren’t fretting over their yacht qualifying for a tax deduction. Monahan was asked point-blank if the PGA Tour should have taken the LIV threat more seriously.Heshrugged it off, seemingly welcoming the competition while insisting that his more established tour will win out in the end. “There’s competition everywhere,” he said. “We’re competing against other leagues. We’re competing for younger eyeballs. We’re competing to grow internationally. We’re competing to grow our sport relative to other sports. That’s the nature of what we do.”

McIlroy talked of collaboration and being willing to work with other players to make the necessary changes. That was apparently the point of a players-only meeting last week that included Tiger Woods, who still wields enormous clout even though his future as a player is murky at best. Of course, the PGA Tour has been around for 54 years. It’s had plenty of time to address any serious concerns.Itwas only when LIV came along — and showed it’s here to stay as long as the Saudis remain interested in golf and oblivious to the bottom line — that the tour finally decided to budge. “I think having the top players in the world playing together more often and competing against each other more often is what everyone wants,” McIlroy said. “Once we solve that, a lot of the rest of the stuff sort of takes care of itself.”

Kyle Larson took his first lead of the race with five laps remaining and held off road course ace and fellow Californian A.J. Allmendinger for a trophy. Larson completed the rare weekend sweep at Watkins Glen (N.Y.) International Sunday afternoon with a clutch win in the Cup Series Go Bowling at theLarsonGlen. made a dramatic pass on his Hendrick Motorsports teammate Chase Elliott on a restart with five laps to go on the historic road course. As the race leader, Elliott got to choose where to lineup alongside Larson for the green flag and chose to start on Larson’s outside, setting up the dramatic contention for position. Larson maneuvered past Elliott in the wide-sweeping turn with both Allmendinger and Joey Logano able to get around Elliott as well. Allmendinger gave chase to Larson, but for the second day in a row, Larson, the driver of the No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet again proved too much. It was the second-consecutive NASCAR Cup Series victory for Larson, 30, at Watkins Glen - finishing .882-seconds ahead of Kaulig Racing’s Allmendinger. It’s Larson’s 18th career win and second of the 2022 season for the defending NASCAR Cup Series champion. Team Penske’s Logano finished third just ahead of Elliott, who could take some considerable consolation in officially securing the 2022 Regular Season Championship – his first –at the end of Stage 1 on Sunday. Larson immediately addressed the winning move. That was really my only opportunity (to go for the lead), I’m not proud of it,’’ Larson said, “But being in the inside lane, the right lane, being the leader, choosing the left lane, it definitely wins out. But when it gets late in the race, it’s definitely risky. “I knew that was my only opportunity to get by him. I feel like our cars were pretty equal today. Had a lot of fun after rate green flag cycle trying to chase hi down. Kind of burned my stuff up a little bit.” Larson said he anticipated having a conversation with Elliott and reiterated that he was only making a move, he felt necessary, to go for the victory. Something he thought Elliott would have done as well. “We have a competition meeting tomorrow.,’’ Larson said. “I think if I was in his shoes, I would understand the risk that I’m taking, taking the left lane also. I’m not proud of it but I did what I felt like I had to do to get the win.’’ For his part after the race, Elliott said only, “Congratulations to Kyle and everybody on the 5 team and at Hendrick Motorsports for getting the win.’’ Elliott - who led a race high 30 of the 80 laps - again took the company line when asked what he would say to Larson, “Congratulations. … always good to see HMS win. The boss [Rick Hendrick] deserves all the great wins that come for this company.’’

• The history of Daytona International Speedway began in 1953 when Bill France Sr. realized the days of racing on the beach were numbered due to spreading land usage of a rapidly growing population and huge race crowds. France put his plans for the future of racing in Daytona Beach in motion on April 4, 1953 with a proposal to construct a permanent speedway facility. On Aug.16, 1954, France signed a contract with City of Daytona Beach and Volusia County of cials to build what would become Daytona International Speedway, the “World Center of Racing.” In 1957, land clearing began for the Speedway. The famous 31-degree highbanks were included in the design of the track so higher speeds could be achieved and to make it easier for fans to see the cars race around the 2.5-mile tri-oval. The dirt for the banking was taken from the in eld and resulted in a 29-acre space that is known as Lake Lloyd.

• On July 5, 2013, ground broke on the $400 million DAYTONA Rising frontstretch renovation project that would transform the speedway into a state-of-theart facility. The Speedway now has approximately 101,500 permanent, wider and more comfortable seats, 40 escalators, 17 elevators, twice as many restrooms, three times as many concession stands and three concourse levels that span the nearly mile-long frontstretch. In addition, the Speedway features over 60 luxury suites with trackside views and a completely revamped hospitality experience for corporate guests. The projected was completed in January 2016 and was awarded the SportsBusiness Journal’s Sports Business Award for Sports Facility of the Year.
Trackhouse Racing driver Daniel Suárez finished fifth, followed by Front Row Motorsports’ Michael McDowell, who led 14 Richardlaps. Childress Racing’s Tyler Reddick, Joe Gibbs Racing’s Christopher Bell, RFK Racing’s Chris Buescher and Petty GMS Racing’s Erik Jones rounded out the top 10. German driver Mike Rockenfeller – a sportscar ace and former Rolex 24 at Daytona winner – posted the best finish (30th) among a series-high seven international entries at WatkinsFormulaGlen.One world champion Kimi Räikkönen had a solid effort in his Cup Series debut – running as high as eighth place in Stage 2 before pitting. His day in the No. 91 Trackhouse Racing Chevrolet came to an early end, however, when he was nudged off-track and into a tire barrier while racing among a large group of cars on the ensuing restart. Räikkönen 41, of Finland, climbed out of his car and appeared fine physically. Although disappointed with the finish to what looked like a promising day, he said he was still overall happy with his debut in NASCAR’s big leagues. With one race remaining in the regular season and one spot still to be settled for the 16-driver Playoff field, Team Penske’s Ryan Blaney holds a 25-point advantage over Joe Gibbs Racing’s Martin Truex Jr. for the final transfer position should no new winner emerge next week. They finished 23rd (Truex) and 24th (Blaney) on Sunday and both drivers are still looking for their first victory of the year. Blaney heads into the regular season finale Saturday at Daytona as the defending race winner. The Coke Zero Sugar 400 starts at 7 p.m. ET and finalizes the 16 drivers qualifying for the 10-race Playoffs that begin Sept. 4 at Darlington (S.C.) Raceway.
