LOS ANGELES — Two months after state lawmakers passed sweeping legislation designed to reduce plastic waste, they've ponied up and passed more than a half-dozen new bills that will further reduce and clean up California's waste stream.
If Gov. Gavin Newsom signs the bills — and most observers think he will — a visit to the grocery, electronics or general retail store will fundamentally change for most residents.

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep 9, 2022--
Authorities say a dispute between two brothers led to a triple murder and suicide last month in a North Dakota wheat field. Towner County Sheriff Andrew Hillier said autopsy results and evidence at the scene suggests 59-year-old Robert Bracken killed his brother, his own son and a third man before shooting himself on Aug. 29. The dead included Bracken’s 64-year-old brother Richard Bracken; Robert’s 34-year-old son, Justin Bracken; and 56-year-old Douglas Dulmage. The Brackens had been working the harvest for Dulmage in his field south of Cando. Hillier says an investigation found that Robert and Richard Bracken had been in a dispute “which had been escalating for a week or more” before the shootings.
Republicans have gone to court to attempt to block North Carolina board of elections actions that extend the absentee-ballot receipt deadline this fall due to a holiday. The Republican National Committee, state Republican Party and the Clay County GOP chairwoman sued in Wake County court on Friday. They want a judge to declare the board is violating state law and the state and U.S. constitutions. The lawsuit contends the board's executive director lacked authority to move the absentee ballot deadline from the Veterans Day holiday to the next work day. They also say other action by the board could limit movement for polling site observers.
Milwaukee right-hander Freddy Peralta was placed on the 15-day IL with inflammation in his throwing shoulder Friday night before the Brewers’ game against the Cincinnati Reds. The 2021 All-Star left during the third inning of his start Thursday night in Milwaukee against San Francisco due to fatigue in the shoulder. Milwaukee recalled right-hander Justin Topa from Triple-A Nashville. Peralta was put on the IL on May 23 with a strained right lat. Since being activated Aug. 3, he made seven starts, reaching six innings in two of them.
Montana health officials have made permanent a rule that blocks transgender people from changing their birth certificates even if they undergo gender-confirmation surgery. Friday’s move by the administration of Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte comes just days before a court will hear arguments on the legality of a similar rule adopted by the state on an emergency basis in May. Prior to the two rules, state Judge Michael Moses had temporarily blocked enforcement of a 2021 Montana law that made it difficult for transgender people to change their birth certificate. Transgender rights advocates say only Tennessee, Oklahoma and West Virginia have similar sweeping prohibitions against birth certificate changes.

Two of the world’s best skippers are trying to regain their sea legs before falling further behind in SailGP’s race for the $1 million Season 3 championship. Britain’s Sir Ben Ainslie will return to the fleet this weekend in St. Tropez, France. He missed the previous regatta in Copenhagen after his foiling 50-foot catamaran was severely damaged when it hit a submerged object during practice. U.S. skipper Jimmy Spithill hasn't finished above fifth in four regattas this year. He finished a disappointing eighth in the nine-boat fleet in home waters in Chicago three regattas ago.
PITTSBURGH — Two days before their 2022 season opener, the Steelers announced their plan to pay tribute to late quarterback Dwayne Haskins. Each player will wear a sticker with the No. 3 on the back of his helmet, the jersey number of Haskins, who was struck and killed by a truck in early April.

Prosecutors have charged a Minneapolis man with three counts of murder and three counts of attempted murder in a weekend shooting that left three people dead and two wounded. Authorities say 41-year-old Antonio Dupree Wright shot and killed 33-year-old Angelica Gonzales, 42-year-old Cory Freeman, and 44-year-old Maisha Spaulding inside a St. Paul duplex. A man and woman were found outside with gunshot wounds, and another man hid under a couch during the Sept. 4 shooting. The man who was injured told police he believed Wright was a heroin dealer who shot people he thought were snitching on him. Wright was arrested in Chicago and will make a court appearance after he is extradited to Minnesota.
Women who were members of a Utah polygamous group say in a lawsuit that they were forced into underage marriages, raped and had to work as children in the group’s businesses. The lawsuit filed Wednesday in state court in Salt Lake City alleges the Kingston Group, also known as the Order, arranged such marriages so that girls would become pregnant and beholden to their husbands and the group. The lawsuit against group members seeks a jury trial and unspecified damages. John Gustafson, a representative of an organization affiliated with the Kingston Group, calls the claims “frivolous” and unlikely to succeed.

The Supreme Court has temporarily blocked a court order that would have forced Yeshiva University to recognize an LGBTQ group as an official campus club. The court acted Friday in a brief order signed by Justice Sonia Sotomayor that indicated the court would have more to say on the topic at some point. The university, an Orthodox Jewish institution in New York, argued that granting recognition to the group, the YU Pride Alliance, “would violate its sincere religious beliefs.”
The suits at Major League Baseball finally got one right, taking significant steps to speed up their dawdling game. If only they’d moved a lot quicker. Pitch clocks, limits on defensive shifts and larger bases were approved in one of the most significant days in the history of the national pastime. No question, these are all major adjustments to the rule book. Right up there with the designated hitter, the lowering of the pitching mound, and the outlawing of the spitball. MLB really had no choice, given an aging fanbase and dwindling interest from young people.
Augsburg goalkeeper Rafał Gikiewicz has saved an injury-time penalty and infuriated Werder Bremen fans as he preserved his team’s 1-0 win in the Bundesliga. The game ended with a threat of violence from Bremen fans who stormed from the stand to the advertising hoarding behind Gikiewicz’s goal after he put his finger to his lips and gestured in their direction following his save of Marvin Ducksch’s penalty in the fourth minute of injury time. Bremen players appealed to their supporters to stay put and referee Martin Petersen booked Gikiewicz for the alleged provocation. Ermedin Demirovic's 63rd-minute goal proved to be the winner.
A bill to rename Mishawaka’s Veterans Affairs Clinic after late U.S. Rep. Jackie Walorski is headed to President Joe Biden’s desk for his signature. The bill passed the U.S. House last month, and Indiana’s two Republican senators, Todd Young and Mike Braun, introduced an identical version in the Senate, which unanimously approved it Thursday. The legislation would name the health center the “Jackie Walorski VA Clinic.” Walorski and two members of her staff died Aug. 3 when their SUV crossed the median of a highway in Elkhart County and struck an oncoming vehicle.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Sacramento and surrounding communities woke to a red sun and smoky skies Friday as the Mosquito fire in the foothills east of the city continued to rage out of control, sending clouds of smoke that were visible from space billowing over the landscape.
Planned Parenthood leaders from across the country are meeting in California to discuss how to defend abortion rights. Leaders from 24 states met Friday in Sacramento. Their goal is to create a blueprint for protecting abortion rights now that the U.S. Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade. The meeting comes as Californians prepare to vote on adding abortion rights to their state constitution. But replicating California's abortion rights successes in other states and at the federal level will be difficult. California is dominated by Democrats who support abortion rights. Congress is closely divided. Opponents of abortion have also mobilized nationally.
Oriol Romeu has scored late to give Girona a 2-1 win over Valladolid in a meeting of recently promoted sides in the Spanish league. Reinier Carvalho put Girona in front in the 21st minute. Valladolid’s Monchu Rodríguez equalized in the 38th with a shot from outside the area. Valladolid lost three players all to injury before Romeu scored the decider with two minutes to go. Romeu headed in the winner after Santiago Bueno used his head to knock down a free kick to the far post for his teammate to finish off. Girona rose into ninth place. Valladolid was left in 14th.

Danso escaped his marker in the 39th minute and headed the ball home from a free kick. Lens created more chances after the interval but could not find a cutting edge. Lens is still unbeaten and moved a point above Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille. The latter two both have one match in hand. PSG hosts Brest on Saturday and Marseille plays against Lille at Stade Velodrome.
Holton Herta refuses to wonder if Sunday's season-ending race is his final IndyCar start for now. His name is thick in the Formula One rumor mill and an advisor to Red Bull says a deal is in place to make Herta the first American on the F1 grid since 2015. Herta says that was news to him and he's not considering his future plans until after the IndyCar season. Herta also says he'd prefer not to receive an exemption to earn the Super License to compete in F1. He'd like FI to put a heavier emphasis on IndyCar competition.
CHICAGO — After the Chicago Sky were eliminated from the WNBA playoffs Thursday night, coach and general manager James Wade held himself accountable and expressed disappointment in the outcome.
Myles Garrett has changed. Cleveland's star defensive end is not only bigger and stronger heading into his sixth NFL season, but he's more driven than ever to win. Garrett took last year's disappointing season for the Browns personally, and he dedicated himself during the offseason to not let it happen again. Garrett studied other notable sports stars like Michael Jordan, Tim Brady and LeBron James to see what made them tick and what made them consistent winners. Garrett has become a more vocal leader for the Browns, who will open their season on Sunday against Carolina and former Cleveland quarterback Baker Mayfield.
Federal prosecutors say they will not file civil rights charges against a Kansas police officer who shot and killed a 17-year-old in 2018. The Justice Department on Friday announced the findings of its investigation into the shooting death of John Albers at his home in Overland Park, Kansas. An officer said he shot Albers because he was afraid the teen would hit him with the minivan he was backing out of the family's garage. The Justice Department said it agrees with an earlier court finding that officer Clayton Jenison acted with unreasonable force. But investigators could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he did so willfully, which is required to bring federal civil rights charges.
DETROIT — Ty Garbin, convicted of plotting to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, deserves to be freed because he repeatedly testified as the government's star witness, helped convict the scheme's ringleaders and is a target of extremists behind bars, his lawyers argued Friday.

A man accused of killing six people and injuring dozens of others when he allegedly drove his SUV through a Christmas parade in Wisconsin last year withdrew his insanity plea Friday. Forty-year-old Darrell Brooks appeared in Waukesha County Circuit Court where he’s facing nearly 80 charges, including six homicide counts, in connection with the Nov. 21 incident in Waukesha. Brooks had changed his not guilty plea to not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect in June. After the announcement on the plea change, the defense asked that the jury status hearing for Friday be rescheduled. The judge agreed and pushed the hearing to Sept. 19.
The defense for R. Kelly and two co-defendants has rested at the R&B singer’s trial on charges of trial-fixing, child pornography and enticing minors for sex. They concluded their case Friday after the main defense witness, Kelly co-defendant and his former business manager Derrell McDavid, ended his three days of testimony. Prosecutors get a chance to call rebuttal witnesses and the sides would then deliver closing arguments. Jury deliberations aren’t likely to begin until next week. Kelly and McDavid are charged with fixing Kelly’s 2008 state trial by threatening witnesses and concealing video evidence. Both also face child pornography charges.
With the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s children should become Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet — unless the newly acceded King Charles III opts to break with tradition and ditch the royal titles.

Major League Baseball is prepared to voluntarily accept the formation of a minor league union. It's a key step that will lead to collective bargaining and possibly a strike threat at the start of next season. Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said the sport was in the process of notifying the Major League Baseball Players Association which launched the unionization drive on Aug. 28. The union told MLB on Tuesday it obtained signed authorization cards from the approximately 5,000 to 6,500 players with minor league contracts. The players’ association’s next step if MLB had declined would have been to ask the National Labor Relations Board to conduct an authorization election.
