In much of Earth's wealthy mid-latitudes, spiking temperatures and humidity that feel like 103 degrees (39.4 degrees Celsius) or higher -- now an occasional summer shock — statistically should happen 20 to 50 times a year by mid-century, said a study Monday in the journal Nature Climate Change.

Switzerland and Czechia have made winning starts at the women’s world ice hockey championship in Denmark against opponents backing up. The Swiss beat Japan 3-1 in Herning and Czechia routed Hungary 7-1 in Frederikshavn. Japan was flogged by the United States 10-0 on Thursday, the championship’s opening day, when Hungary came from behind to beat Germany. The Swiss and Czechs will realize the feeling of playing back-to-back on Saturday. The Swiss face title favorite Canada, and the Czechs meet host Denmark. Also on Saturday, the U.S. meets Finland, which will be without the suspended Petra Nieminen, and Sweden plays Germany.
Vincenzo Grifo was the only one to score in a game of many chances as Freiburg edged winless Bochum 1-0 in the Bundesliga. Gerrit Holtmann twice hit the goalframe for Bochum, which was looking for its first point of the season after three defeats a 7-0 hiding at home to Bayern Munich last weekend. Grifo scored at the third attempt in the 48th minute after seeing his penalty saved and the rebound before he got another chance. Freiburg has three wins from four games with an unfortunate defeat to Borussia Dortmund the exception.
BOSTON — The Rays have signed right-hander Tyler Glasnow to a contract extension that will keep him with the team through the 2024 season at a team-record $25 million salary.
Trappers can continue pursuing wolves under Idaho's current regulations after a federal judge rejected a request by conservation groups to temporarily block the state's expanded wolf trapping and snaring rules. The decision earlier this week by a U.S. magistrate judge isn't on the merits of the case. It instead rejects a request by the groups to halt the trapping and snaring rules until the case fully plays out and is decided. The Center for Biological Diversity and other groups contend Idaho’s 2021 expanded wolf-killing regulations violate the Endangered Species Act because they will lead to the illegal killing of federally protected grizzly bears and Canada lynx.

SEATTLE — Since the day he signed as a 16-year-old out of the Dominican Republic, the Mariners have known they have something special in Julio Rodriguez.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have yet another new kicker, their second of the week and fifth since training camp opened a month ago. The Jaguars claimed Jake Verity off waivers from Indianapolis. He joins James McCourt in the team’s competition at kicker. Jacksonville claimed McCourt off waivers from the Los Angeles Chargers earlier this week. Verity and McCourt could both kick in the team’s preseason finale at Atlanta on Saturday. Jacksonville previously tried and cut undrafted rookie Andrew Mevis, journeyman Elliott Fry and Ryan Santoso.
Florida A&M will be without 20 ineligible players and down to only eight available offensive linemen when it plays at North Carolina on Saturday night. Athletic department spokesman Josh Padilla says a combination of players being academically ineligible and transfers having not yet been cleared to play have left the Rattlers short-handed, but the team was preparing to head to the airport for the flight from Tallahassee, Florida, to Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Florida A&M is set to receive a $450,000 payout for playing at North Carolina and would have forgone the payment if the team didn't play.
Thriston Lawrence and Alejandro Cañizares stayed in a share of the lead at 13 under on a weather-affected day at the European Masters. Neither could complete their second round on Friday. Lawrence and Cañizares were both shooting 5 under for the day after 14 and 13 holes, respectively, when play ended around 8 p.m. local time in darkness in the Swiss Alps. Neither had started their round when play was suspended soon after 1 p.m. for about three hours due to approaching electric storms. The second round was due to resume at 7:40 a.m. Saturday. Some players still had nine holes to complete.
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug 26, 2022--
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Matt Ryan expects to see his most extensive preseason action this weekend against a familiar foe. Tampa Bay quarterback Tom Brady is scheduled to make his preseason debut on a familiar field. The two guys who finished the 2016 season by starting in the Super Bowl are expected to square off again Saturday under far less consequential circumstances. Brady returned to practice this week after taking an 11-day break for personal reasons and coach Todd Bowles implied the seven-time Super Bowl champ would play in Indy. Colts coach Frank Reich says most of his starters will play about a half.

California voters will consider Patricia Guerrero to become the state Supreme Court’s 29th chief justice in November now that the state’s Commission on Judicial Appointments has approved her nomination. Gov. Gavin Newsom picked Guerrero to be the first Latina to serve as California’s chief justice after naming her to the court last February as an associate justice. She joined the seven-member high court a month later. If voters agree, she will replace Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye. She is retiring in January. Guerrero faces no competition on the November ballot. The Commission on Judicial Nominees Evaluation on Friday rated Guerrero exceptionally well qualified for the top court job.

NEW YORK — The life and times of the First Lady of Song has been turned into a musical — with a powerhouse team developing it for Broadway.
Robert Saleh is not ready to say goodbye to Denzel Mims. At least not yet. The third-year wide receiver requested Thursday through his agent to be traded by the New York Jets. Saleh said it remains “business as usual” with Mims despite that after the two spoke Friday morning. Saleh says it's not over between the Jets and Mims. The 2020 second-round pick out of Baylor has just 31 catches for 490 yards and no touchdowns in 20 games over two seasons. He was no better than sixth on the team’s wide receiver depth chart in camp.
The Arizona Supreme Court is reviewing a lower court’s decision keeping a voter initiative rolling back Republican-backed election law changes and expanding voting access on the ballot. The high court could decide to block it after all. Chief Justice Robert Brutinel ordered the trial court judge to explain exactly how he decided the Free and Fair Elections measure had enough valid signatures. The measure barely squeaked by after opponents were able to get nearly 100,000 signatures disqualified. The Supreme Court could rule Friday afternoon. It has already rejected challenges to initiatives creating greater transparency for political spending and boosting the amount of assets shielded from creditors and said they will be on the November ballot.

A New York City-owned golf course managed by former President Donald Trump’s business is expected to host a Saudi Arabia-supported women’s tournament in October. The plan to host the Aramco Team Series at the Trump Golf Links at Ferry Point in the Bronx comes after New York City’s attempt to cancel Trump’s contract to run the course was thrown out by a judge in April. Former Mayor Bill de Blasio said shortly after Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, that he was canceling Trump’s contract to run the golf course. A judge later ruled that the city could not terminate the contracts.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are hoping their offensive line bounces back in their preseason finale against Detroit. The starting unit struggled in a victory over Jacksonville, forcing quarterbacks Mitch Trubisky and Kenny Pickett to try and make plays with their legs as well as their respective right arms. Coach Mike Tomlin took the group to task for their play, and the starters could play into the second half against the Lions. The line could be helped by the 2022 debut of running back Najee Harris, who could make a cameo after watching the first two preseason games from the sideline.
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis took a grand jury up on its recommendation Friday afternoon to remove four Broward School Board members after a scathing report that accused them of having “engaged in acts of incompetence and neglect of duty.”
The president of a super PAC in Puerto Rico who pled guilty to hiding the identity of donors who supported the U.S. territory’s governor during his 2020 election campaign has been sentenced to 14 months in prison. Joseph Fuentes Fernández also served as treasurer for Salvemos a Puerto Rico _ Let’s Save Puerto Rico _ and had raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for Gov. Pedro Pierluisi’s campaign. Pierluisi is not charged in the case and has stressed that his campaign committee did not coordinate its activities with any PAC. Federal officials said Friday that the super PAC also was ordered to pay a $150,000 fine.
A federal judge has refused to require that Arizona officials count ballots by hand in November. U.S. District Judge John Tuchi dismissed a lawsuit filed by the Republican nominees for governor and secretary of state based on false claims of problems with vote-counting machines. Kari Lake, who is running for governor, and Mark Finchem, a secretary of state candidate, won their GOP primaries after aggressively promoting the narrative that the 2020 election was marred by fraud or widespread irregularities. Their lawsuit repeated unfounded allegations about the security of machines that count votes.
NEW YORK — Former President Donald Trump’s company has gotten the green light to host a golf tournament in the Bronx sponsored by the Saudi Arabian government, infuriating relatives of 9/11 victims already fuming over a similar event held at a Trump course in neighboring New Jersey last month.
A Mexican official has said that six of the 43 Mexican students abducted and disappeared in 2014, were allegedly kept alive in a warehouse for days then turned over to the commander of the local army base who ordered their killings. On Friday, Interior Undersecretary Alejandro Encinas, who leads the Truth Commission, made the revelation with little fanfare during a lengthy defense of the commission’s report first released a week earlier. At that time, despite declaring the disappearances a “state crime” and saying that the army watched it happen without intervening, Encinas made no mention of six students being turned over to Col. José Rodríguez Pérez.

Auburn athletic director Allen Greene is stepping down with five months left on his initial five-year deal. Greene was Auburn's first Black athletic director. Auburn announced that Greene had informed President Christopher Roberts of his decision this week, citing professional reasons. Greene’s initial five-year deal was worth $625,000 annually and was set to expire Jan. 31, 2023. His biggest hire was luring football coach Bryan Harsin away from Boise State. The Tigers lost the last five games of Harsin’s debut season, followed by a school investigation into the program after an exodus of players and assistant coaches.
The publisher of a weekly newspaper in New Hampshire is accusing the state attorney general’s office of government overreach after she was arrested on charges that she published political advertisements for local races without properly marking them as political advertising. The six misdemeanor charges allege that Debra Paul, publisher of The Londonderry Times, failed to identify the ads “with appropriate language either at the beginning or the end of the advertisement” as required by state law. The attorney general's office says the charges were filed after it reviewed ads in the paper without the information that go back to 2019, counting nearly 60 violations since 2020.
The virus that causes polio has been found in wastewater samples from another upstate New York county, prompting state health officials to warn of expanding “community spread” of the life-threatening virus. The state Department of Health said the polio virus was detected in four samples from Sullivan County, two each in July and August. Sullivan County is several dozen miles northwest of Rockland County, where officials on July 21 announced the first case of polio in the United States in nearly a decade. The unidentified young adult was unvaccinated. State Health Commissioner Dr. Mary T. Bassett again urged residents to make sure they are immunized.
Mississippi’s Big Three of football coaches are anything but boring. Deion Sanders, Lane Kiffin and Mike Leach are big-name coaches who aren’t shy to voice their opinions. And all three have logged double-digit wins at least once. It’s interesting times for fans of all three programs these days. Sanders is threatening to take over the Southwestern Athletic Conference while nabbing recruits away from Power 5 programs and making national headlines. Kiffin’s Rebels are coming off the program’s first 10-win regular season. Leach’s offense is putting up some of the most prolific passing numbers in Southeastern Conference history.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has removed four board members at the school district where a 2018 campus massacre occurred. DeSantis on Friday issued an executive order suspending Broward County school board members Patricia Good, Donna Korn, Ann Murray and Laurie Rich Levinson. DeSantis says they have shown a “pattern of emboldening unacceptable behavior.” The removals came one week after they were recommended by a grand jury investigating events surrounding the murder of 17 at Parkland's Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. The panel found that the district had misspent money that was supposed to go to a school safety program. Levinson last week called the findings “a political hatchet job.”
The Treasury Department faces pushback from the cryptocurrency industry over sanctions imposed on a virtual currency mixing firm. The firm is accused of helping launder billions of dollars — with some funds going to North Korean hackers. Earlier this month, the Treasury Department imposed sanctions on the firm, Tornado Cash, which allegedly helped to launder more than $7 billion worth of virtual currency since its creation in 2019. Mixing services combine various digital assets, including potentially illegally obtained funds and legitimately obtained funds, to keep origins of the funds secret. Advocates say the sanctions open the door to limiting usage of privacy software.
Cleveland Browns defensive end Jadeveon Clowney will have his college jersey retired at South Carolina's season opener with Georgia State on Sept. 3. The school announced the retirement Friday of Clowney's No. 7, which he wore for three seasons from 2011 to 2013. Clowney was the nation's No. 1 recruit when he selected his home-state Gamecocks. Clowney did not disappoint, twice being named an AP All-American. Clowney's most memorable moment came in the Outback Bowl after the 2012 season when he hit Michigan tailback Vincent Hill in the backfield, popped off his helmet and recovered the fumble he forced.
Udinese has earned its first victory of the fledgling season by coming from behind to win at Monza 2-1 and leave Silvio Berlusconi’s club still seeking its first points in Serie A. Andrea Colpani gave Monza the lead in the first half but Beto leveled four minutes later and Destiny Udogie scored the winner with 13 minutes remaining. Monza was bought by former Italian premier and ex-AC Milan owner Berlusconi in 2017. It reached the top-flight for the first time in its 110-year history by winning the Serie B playoff last season.
An autopsy report on the death of country singer Naomi Judd obtained by The Associated Press Friday confirmed what family members have already said about how she died. The 76-year-old singer killed herself with a gun on April 30 at her home in Tennessee. That was the day before she and daughter Wynonna Judd were inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. The family has spoken about Naomi Judd's struggles with mental illness. In a statement released Friday, they said she was being treated for PTSD and bipolar disorder, which explains prescription medications that were detected in her system.

Chinese dissident and artist Ai Weiwei lampoons the surveillance state and social media with his first glass sculpture, made on the Venetian island of Murano. Titled “The Human Comedy: Memento Mori,” the sculpture is the centerpiece of Ai’s exhibit opening in Venice on Sunday. The work is the artist's warning to the world, since its title is Latin for “Remember You Must Die.” The massive piece is suspended over the central nave of the deconsecrated church of San Giorgio Maggiore. The artwork is replete with glass icons: intricately hung skeletons and skulls, both human and animal; scattered likenesses of the Twitter bird logo and surveillance cameras.
