Senate overrides governor’s veto of minimum wage hike for public employees
Senate President José Luis Dalmau Santiago
In the governor’s opinion, the Salary Compensation Plan (which becomes effective in January) establishes items to balance the salaries of public employ ees that the vetoed measure does not consider.Inarecent press conference, House Speaker Rafael “Tatito” Hernández Mon tañez said the majority in the lower cham ber had the votes to override Pierluisi’s veto and was confident that lawmakers would do so.
House of Representatives not to override his veto.“[Iask] that they respect my decision because we have an ongoing review of the pay plan in all central government agencies and the vast majority of public corporations,” the governor said at a press conference. “The Fiscal Board has already cleared the way for that, and it has been a great effort. This measure is better than establishing a minimum wage.”

The Kennedy Dining Hall becomes a MACRO POD, serving as a distribution point for food or donations to MICRO PODS, smaller community centers such as churches and nonprofit entities.The main objective of the “Community Hubs” is to es tablish cooperative ties between nonprofit, faith-based and community organizations to help the community prepare for disasters, assist them during the emergency response process and support them during recovery.
The island Senate on Tuesday ap proved with 18 votes in favor to override Gov. Pedro Pierluisi Ur rutia’s veto of the measure that seeks to establish the “Minimum Wage Law for Public Employees of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico” to establish a new min imum base wage of $10.50 per hour, in a staggered manner, subject to the law’s provisions.Senate Bill 563, seen on reconsider ation, provides that on “the first day of the month following the approval of this Act, the minimum wage of Public Employees shall be increased to $8.50 per hour.”
“By July 1, 2023, the minimum wage of public employees will be $9.50 per hour. On July 1, 2024, the increase to the minimum wage for public employ ees will be $10.50 an hour unless the Commission [on the minimum wage] issues a Mandatory Order varying the same,” the measure reads. “In addition,

Second, the termination of both agreements would trigger the clock on a transition period, which could last up
However, Marxuach cautions that each proposed solution carries some consequences that must be analyzed beforehand to avoid mistakes or make a difficult situation even worse. If the contract is left to expire on Nov. 30, the automatic termination of the agreements would trigger the occurrence of several events.
“It still relies mostly on oil and diesel fuel for electric ity generation. According to PREPA’s unaudited financial information, from July 2021-May 2022, approximately 73% of PREPA’s expenditures correspond to the purchase of fuel and power,” Marxuach said. “This means that Puerto Rico is at the mercy of oil and natural gas markets, which have been affected recently by the unexpectedly rapid economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, the strong post-pan demic shift toward the consumption of manufactured goods
“There are no effortless solutions to Puerto Rico’s en ergy problems,” Marxuach said. “It will take several years of steadfast hard work to rebuild the system and decrease energy rates. There are no shortcuts, no easy answers, and no straightforward ways out. The only option is to work through it. Otherwise, we face the unpleasant prospect of several more years of economic decline and the social stagnation that wouldMeanwhile,entail.”Gov. Pedro Pierluisi Urrutia said Tuesday that LUMA Energy will remain as PREPA’s T&D system op erator because the “basis contract,” or 15-year contract, will go into effect after Nov. 30.
Governor’s proposed fund for towns would draw from operational budget surplus
“So far LUMA has incurred budget overruns; has failed to meet key performance metrics regarding the duration and frequency of outages; is behind schedule in meeting certain maintenance goals (for example, controlling vegetation growth around important lines); and has shown little evidence that it is achieving the savings it represented it would generate from a more efficient management of the transmission and distribution system,” the report says. “It is up to the gov ernment of Puerto Rico, then, to defend the interests of the Puerto Rican Regardingpeople.”theprice of electricity, the CNE policy di rector notes that PREPA’s generation fleet is outdated except for a handful of units that were retrofitted to burn natural gas.
The CNE Review includes three possible scenarios for ending the LUMA Energy contract, but Marxuach concludes that the easiest course of action would be not to seek the extension of the interim operation period that ends on Nov. 30. That is because the Supplemental Agreement currently in effect provides for the automatic termination of both agree ments, the Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Agreement as well as the Supplemental Agreement, on that date, unless the government of Puerto Rico seeks to extend its effectiveness.
First, PREPA would be required to pay LUMA a ter mination fee of $115 million in 2020 dollars, adjusted for inflation, which is not currently budgeted, he said.
Pedro Pierluisi Urrutia on Tuesday detailed his request to the Financial Oversight and Management Board to allow a series of amendments to the commonwealth Fiscal Plan to help the island’s 78 municipalities financially. The governor said he wants to create a fund to help municipalities pay for essential services that they provide to their constituents.About25percent of the surplus of the government’s operational budget in any year would go into the proposed Municipal Fund for Essential Services after paying first for government debt obligations. The central government recently
reached a debt adjustment plan.
to 12 months and during which LUMA would wind up its operations and transfer them to a successor operator. PREPA would be responsible for paying a fee to cover the cost of LUMA’s operations during this period, he said.
“It depends on a series of factors, population among others, but it would be available to the municipalities,” Pier luisi said. “The formula would resemble the formula used for the equalization fund at the time of distribution, but it is a percentage of the surplus. That is, it works differently. It is no longer that they have to say $88 million every year; no, this is more responsible.”TheEqualization Fund’s objective is to ensure equitable treatment of all municipalities, with increased focus on those that are economically disadvantaged. The program provides assistance of last resort, up to $50 million a year, for the pro vision of government services. The oversight board has said the fund must be eliminated.
Therefore, Marxuach says, the best-case scenario may be to make the contract between PREPA and LUMA work. First, however, the government must also examine why LUMA cannot meet performance objectives.

Think tank: Best option for gov’t is to make the LUMA contract work
The report includes a policy brief and an editorial that analyzes the public-private partnership between the govern ment and LUMA Energy, focusing primarily on the current situation and offering solutions for how the government can best protect the interests of the Puerto Rican people. In the publication, Marxuach details the current energy situation and explains why LUMA does not measure up to expectations.

By THE STAR STAFF
CNE Policy Director Sergio M. Marxuach, in the Sep tember issue of CNE Review, said that while allowing the supplementary contract with LUMA Energy to expire on Nov. 30 is the easiest solution, it might have negative consequences.
“The likely scenario is that both agencies would adopt a wait-and-see attitude with respect to such disbursement as legal and operational wrinkles are worked out,” the economist said. “This means that the reconstruction of the grid would take even longer than the currently projected 10 years.”
By THE STAR STAFF
Marxuach also notes that the government must consider the possible impact of terminating the O&M Agreement on the disbursement of Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funds to reconstruct the grid.
The analysis states that in the future, the Public-Private Partnership Authority should hire an independent world-class firm of engineers, with no business or political connections to Puerto Rico, to relentlessly and unwaveringly supervise LUMA’s performance of its obligations under its agreement.
Sergio M. Marxuach, policy director at the Center for a New Economy
“In other words, any surplus we have, 25 percent would go to that fund,” Pierluisi said at a press conference. “So that, among other things, guarantees that the municipalities can have their finances to provide the essential services they offer to their towns. It is a formula, what we are proposing is a formula, which is fiscally responsible, and now it is up to the oversight board to decide.”

“The problem with this and any other termination scenar io is that it appears there are no candidates to be a successor operator in the event of termination,” Marxuach said. “That is, there appears to be no Plan B. Who will then be in charge of Puerto Rico’s transmission and distribution system?”

The governor noted that the proposal is not the same as the existing Equalization Fund, which the oversight board insists on repealing. However, he said the formula for allocating funding for essential services is the same as the one followed by the Equalization Fund.

For $50 per year, the Plus coverage offers medical-hos pital services, grants $75,000 to the insured driver’s spouse, and up to $70,000 to dependent children in the event of death. Likewise, it provides a maximum of $75,000 in the event of loss of a limb and $5,000 for funeral expenses.
Marcano Rivera stressed that to obtain the services, drivers must choose one of the three coverage options, the Basic as a mandatory premium or one of the two new alternatives (Premium or Plus). The coverage can be obtained when a driver renews the vehicle’s registration via an inspection sticker, known locally as a “marbete.” The digital Driver Services Center (CESCO by its Spanish acronym) in the Department of Transportation and Public Works provides the service and benefits information.

The seizure of the phones, coupled with a widening effort to obtain information from those around Trump after the 2020 election, represent some of the most aggressive steps the department has taken thus far in its criminal investigation into the actions that led to the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol by a pro-Trump mob.
Federal agents with court-authorized search warrants took phones last week from at least two people: Boris Epshteyn, an in-house counsel who helps coordinate Trump’s legal efforts, and Mike Roman, a campaign strategist who was the director of Election Day operations for the Trump campaign in 2020, people familiar with the investigation said.
The extent of the investigation has come into focus in recent days, even though it has often been overshadowed by the government’s legal clash with Trump and his lawyers over a separate inquiry into the handling of presidential records, including highly classified materials, the former president kept at Mar-a-Lago, his residence in Florida.
ustice Department officials have seized the phones of two top advisers to former President Donald Trump and blanketed his aides with about 40 subpoenas in a substantial escalation of the investigation into his efforts to subvert the 2020 election, people familiar with the inquiry said earlier this week.
One of the recipients, people familiar with the case said, was Dan Scavino, Trump’s former social media director who rose from working at a Trump-owned golf course to become one of his most loyal West Wing aides, and has remained an adviser since Trump left office. Stanley Woodward, one of Scavino’s lawyers, declined to comment.
Another was Bernard B. Kerik, a former New York City police commissioner. Kerik, who promoted claims of voter fraud alongside his friend Rudy Giuliani, was issued a subpoena by prosecutors with the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington, his lawyer, Timothy Parlatore, said Monday. Parlatore said his client had initially offered to grant an interview voluntarily.

The new subpoenas encompass a wide variety of those in Trump’s orbit, from low-level aides to his most senior advisers.
By early summer, the grand jury investigation had taken another turn as several subpoenas were issued to state law makers and state Republican officials allied with Trump who took part in a plan to create fake slates of pro-Trump electors in several key swing states actually won by Biden.
time, federal investigators seized Eastman’s cellphone and the phone of another lawyer, Jeffrey Clark, whom Trump had sought at one point to install as the acting attorney general. Clark had his own role in the fake elector scheme: In December 2020, he helped draft a letter to Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, saying that the state’s election results had been marred by fraud and recommending that Kemp convene a special session of the Georgia legislature to create a slate of pro-Trump electors.
At least some of the new subpoenas also requested all records that the recipients had turned over to the House Jan. 6 committee, according to a person familiar with the matter.

Lawyers for former President Donald Trump asked a federal judge earlier this week to deny the Justice Department’s request to immediately restart a key part of its criminal investigation into his hoarding of sensitive government documents at his residence in RenewingFlorida.their request for an expansive independent review of records seized from Trump, the former president’s legal team argued that documents marked as classified should remain off limits to the FBI and prosecutors. They asked the judge, Aileen M. Cannon, to maintain her order barring agents from using any of the materials taken from his estate, until an outside arbiter, known as a special master has vetted all of them.
As part of her order, Cannon told the Justice Department that it would have to wait until the special master’s work was done to use any of the records in its investigation. But the judge conceded that the intelligence community could use the materials in a sepa rate assessment of how the former president’s hoarding of the records might have affected nationalOnsecurity.Thursday, the Justice Department shot back, telling Cannon in yet another filing that the intelligence assessment and the criminal inquiry were “inextricably linked.” Prosecutors asked her to lift her ban on using the seized materials and requested she restrict the scope of the special master’s review to unclassified documents, excluding about 100 seized files bearing classification labels.
In its initial filing on Monday, Trump’s legal team sidestepped the question of whether he had declassified all the documents he took to Mar-a-Lago, as he has insisted outside court. His lawyers said that as president, Trump had the authority to declassify anything he wanted and referred to the files as “purported” clas sified

The Justice Department said Monday that it would be fine with Dearie or either of its suggestions, pointing to their “substantial judicial experience,” including in federal cases that involved national security and issues of privilege.
The 21-page filing was an aggressive rebuke of the Justice Department’s broader inquiry into whether Trump or his aides illegally kept national security secrets at his property, Mar-a-Lago, or obstructed the government’s repeated attempts to retrieve the materials. It played down the criminal inquiry as a “storage dispute” and insinuated that officials might have leaked information about the contents of the files.

The filing, which came as Trump returned to the Washington area, underscored how he has succeeded for now in using what amounts to a procedural sideshow to stall the criminal investigation, even after his representatives falsely said in June that his office had returned any documents marked as classified in his possession.Prosecutors had asked Cannon last week to let investigators resume working with about 100 documents marked as classified that formed a small portion of the nearly 13,000 items the FBI seized during a court-authorized search of Mar-a-Lago on Aug. 8.
The Trump legal team has countered with a semi-retired federal judge, Raymond J. Dearie, who formerly sat on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, and Paul Huck Jr., a former deputy attorney general in Florida.
“This investigation of the 45th president of the United States is both unprecedented and misguided,” the filing said. “In what at its core is a document storage dispute that
those efforts were inextricably intertwined with the criminal investigation.
In a separate filing Monday, Trump’s legal team suggested that if the judge wanted to know whether it had any objections to the candidates, it would prefer to privately submit them since the filings were likely to receive wide attention.

Moreover, prosecutors informed her that
The filing was the latest salvo in what threatens to become a protracted court fight over a special master, even as the Justice De partment signaled late Monday that it could accept at least one candidate Trump’s lawyers had suggested for the post. Part of the dispute centers on whether the special master’s review should extend to blocking investigators from using any records potentially protected by executive privilege.
But on Monday, Trump’s lawyers dis missed the government’s claims, saying that those assertions appeared to be “exaggerated” and that only a “brief pause” would be required for the special master’s review to be completed. (Trump’s lawyers indicated on Friday that they expected the review to take three months.)
“This convenient, and belated, claim by the government relative to enjoining the criminal team’s access to these documents only arises because the FBI concedes the intelligence community review is actually just another facet of its criminal investigation,” they argued.
The clash traces back to an order issued early last week by Cannon, a Trump appointee, in which she said she would appoint a special master with broad authority to review all the seized materials. In her order, Cannon said they could be scrutinized not only for any docu ments potentially covered by attorney-client privilege, a relatively common measure, but also for executive privilege, which would be unprecedented in a federal criminal inquiry.
The Justice Department and Trump’s lawyers have also sparred over the question of who should be appointed special master, with each side submitting two candidates for the post. Cannon will ultimately decide who gets theThejob.Justice Department has suggested two retired federal judges: Barbara S. Jones, who formerly sat on the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, and Thomas B. Griffith, who formerly sat on the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
But it flagged that while Trump’s lawyers had described Dearie as retired, he remains a judge on “senior active” status, which might raise a legal problem if working as a special master counted as impermissible outside em ployment. The department opposed appoint ing Huck, saying he “does not appear to have similar experience.”

But Trump’s filing left open an ambigu ous possibility: that the FBI could undertake further actions related to the documents — including using criminal investigative tools like subpoenas — if their purpose was to assist the intelligence community’s risk assessment.

Broussard heard that his product was causing adverse reactions, but he continued distributing it, prosecutors said.
He mailed it across the country, the Justice Department said, and it was used by the 11 people, who had expected to receive a less dangerous drug similar to Adderall.

A choice, not a referendum
The electorate’s instinct to check-and-balance the president is another underlying explanation for the midterm penalty.
The arguments are often pretty plausible. After all, every cycle is different. There’s almost always something unprecedented about a given election year — in just the last few cycles, the pandemic, the first female presidential major party nominee and the first Black president were all truly novel. There’s always a way to spin up a rationale for why old rules won’tInapply.the end, history usually prevails. That’s a
In this account, presidents don’t simply lose because it’s a referendum; they lose because a crucial segment of the public wants to moderate the direction of public policy. It’s related to the idea that public opinion is something like a thermostat, in which the public moves to turn down the heat when policy runs too hot in either direction.
good thing to keep in mind right now as Democrats show strength that seems entirely at odds with the long history of the struggles of the president’s party in midterm elections.
And that gives me a little more pause about blowing them off.

The San Juan Daily StarWednesday, September 14, 202210
This cycle, the arguments for Democratic strength cut at the heart of the underlying theories for why the party in power struggles in midterms.
about every election cycle, there’s an argument for why, this time, things might be different — different from expectations based on historical trends and key factors like the state of the economy or the president’s approval rating.
The emergence of “democracy” as one of the more important issues in the election is almost entirely a function of his presence, whether it’s by promoting “stop the steal” sentiments, endorsing candidates on the right, or fanning fears of election subversion and political violence.
The theory helps explain why some of the worst midterm drubbings come after a president pushes an ambitious agenda — like the Republican landslides after Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society, Bill Clinton’s health care push, or the enactment of the Affordable Care Act under Barack Obama. It may also help explain why presidents with less ambitious plans or accomplishments — like Jimmy Carter or George H.W. Bush — have sometimes avoided a rout, even if their parties lost seats.

Consider this: “Donald Trump” still earns more Google search interest than “Joe Biden.” It’s nothing like prior midterms, when the attention was focused all but exclusively on the president. These midterms certainly are different.
But this cycle, it’s the Republicans who achieved one of their most important policy objectives — the equivalent of the Great Society or Obamacare — when the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and fulfilled a half-century-long political goal of the conservative movement.
If there’s a saying that captures why midterms go so poorly for the president’s party, it’s the idea that “midterms are a referendum, not a choice.” If it’s a referendum, the Democrats are in trouble. After all, President Joe Biden’s approval rating is in the low 40s.
I can’t think of an equivalent precedent for anything like this. If you can — a good example of when the party out of power achieved the most significant policy change of a president’s first term — feel free to send us an email at dear.upshot@nytimes. com.Maybe some readers will come up with a helpful analogy. Either way, we’re experiencing something very different from the usual midterm election.
Trump doesn’t just make it harder for Republicans to make the midterms into a referendum. He has made it less likely that Republican candidates will even try to make the midterms into a referendum. Republican candidates spent the primary season focused on earning the support of Trump and his supporters, rather than focused on Biden. It led them far from the classic “check-and-balance” midterms message, in which a challenger promises to work with the president where they agree but block the excesses of his agenda.
But this year, there’s a pretty good reason to think this won’t just be a referendum: Donald Trump.

But this cycle, there really is something different — or at the very least, there is something different about the reasons “this cycle might be different.”

As my colleague David Leonhardt put it: “The most ad vanced category of mass-produced semiconductors — used in smartphones, military technology and much more — is known as 5 nm. A single company in Taiwan, known as TSMC, makes about 90% of them. U.S. factories make none.”
The structures etched on these microchips are vanishin gly small. “Nm” is short for nanometer. Read this slowly: A na nometer is one-millionth of a millimeter.
Chris Miller, a professor of international history at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, des cribes the microchips coming out of Taiwan eloquently in his forthcoming book, “Chip War: The Fight for the World’s Most Critical Technology.” He points out that the coronavirus that began spreading around the planet in 2020 was only about 100 nanometers in diameter. The same year, Taiwan Semiconductor was etching shapes less than half that size onto scores of mi llions of chips for Apple.
hen I first arrived in Taiwan as a college student in the summer of 1973, there was no ambiguity whatsoever about the American role on the island.
More specifically, Taiwan is a colossus in the global market for semiconductors, the brains of modern electronics. Taiwan takes some comfort in what its president, Tsai Ing-wen, calls its “silicon shield” — its mastery of the manufacturing of the microchips that are as essential to the economy in the 21st century as oil was 100 years ago.

Taiwan produces most of the world’s highest-tech silicon chips — slivers the size of a fingernail, on which are embedded billions of microscopic transistors. The very best chips are made — “fabricated” is the term of art — at the Taiwan Semicon ductor Manufacturing Co., or TSMC, which may be the most important company that most people in the United States have never heard
As Dale C. Copeland, a professor of international rela tions at the University of Virginia, writes in Foreign Affairs: “Chi na now has some capability to produce chips with transistors that are under 15 and even under 10 nanometers in size. But to stay on the cutting edge of technological developments,” China
In a long Zoom conversation, Copeland said a nation’s military power had always been built on its economic strength.
Were Taiwan’s semiconductor operations to be destro yed, Miller estimated, the total worldwide economic damage could easily exceed the cost of the entire coronavirus pande mic.
The ‘silicon shield’
How silicon chips rule the world

How long that tech gap can be sustained may be as im portant a geopolitical question as the nuclear, ballistic and antiballistic puzzles of the Cold War.
needs chips “measuring under seven or under five nanometers, which only Taiwan can mass-produce at a high level of quality.”
In this sense, limiting trade in the most advanced semi conductors is, at a bare minimum, provocative to China, which dearly needs them. But permitting trade in “fairly advanced” semiconductors softens the blow and can promote prosperity, Copeland said. That is essentially what the Biden administration is doing.What is most important is “a country’s expectations of fu ture trade,” Copeland said. If it is clear that China will be better off with a steady flow of chips from Taiwan, he added, peace is likely to Taiwanprevail.is“the beating heart” of the global semiconductor industry, Miller said. But China’s military exercises, in response to the Taiwan visit of Nancy Pelosi, the speaker of the House, illustrate how vulnerable the global economy has become.
China has made the production of its own state-of-the-art silicon chips a national priority, but it has been unable to catch up with Taiwan. The Biden administration is intent on making sure that it does not, imposing restrictions on the export of the most advanced chips — and chipmaking equipment — to Chi na. And with $50 billion from the new CHIPS and Science Act, the administration is trying to shift some of the fabrication of the best chips back to American shores.

If you invest in international stocks through a broad, diversified mutual fund or exchange-traded fund, you probably own a piece of it. I do, through several Vanguard index funds in my retirement accou nts.
It has been a splendid investment. Over the 20 years through Wednesday, Taiwan Semiconductor returned 18.6% annually, including dividends, FactSet data shows. That thras hed the S&P 500, with an annual return of 10.3%, and Intel, the biggest American chipmaker, at 6.7%.

It would take years to recover and to replace that capacity, if it were destroyed.”
The iPhone 13 mini in my pocket, as well as the new iPhone 14 models introduced Wednesday, is built around chips that were designed by Apple in California; produced by Taiwan Semiconductor in Hsinchu, Taiwan; and shipped for assembly on mainland China or perhaps, these days, in another country.

But in the office — “a hoarder’s paradise,” as she called it — her time isn’t always her own. Clients and colleagues pass through all day with requests.
All this means that going back to the office comes with more trade-offs for certain workers. Someone has to reset the router. Someone ends up ordering the birthday cupcakes.
Samu Hällfors, an entrepreneur from Finland, found inspiration in his own experience getting distracted in the office. He co-founded a company in 2010, called Framery, that makes office privacy booths, which to date has sold over 75,000 units. Framery’s sales jumped to $93 million last year from $83 million in 2020, and the company is on track to make $150 million this year. Hällfors recalled the frustration of a colleague who once confronted their boss for talking loudly into a headset.
“He stood up and shouted to our boss, ‘You should go somewhere else; nobody can concentrate,’” Hällfors said. “He might have used some curse words as well.”
If Zuro needs to power through solo tasks, he usually does so in the morning, at home or in the evening after his 220 employees leave the office. “It’s usually pretty loud,” he said. “Pretty hustle and bustle here.”
But when more than 50 million people started working
from home in March 2020, some of them discovered a luxury their companies couldn’t offer: peace and quiet. As executives tighten their return-to-office policies, workers are finding their days filled with more interruption. The workplace, they’ve discovered, isn’t always the ideal place for doing work.
“I have my larger to-dos, but I just have to address things as they come up,” said Jennifer Choi, who manages finances and operations at an arts nonprofit in New York and finds herself fielding office maintenance, technology and human resources questions during the four days each week she spends in the offi
Batchelor’s office introduced the colored lighting system earlier this year, as employees started coming in two or three days a week. The aim is to help them find that balance between productivity and the actually desired stop-and-chat. Just the other day, for example, Batchelor’s boss came by her office to discuss a training they were planning. The green light was on.
Azeema Batchelor, who works at law firm Wiley Rein in Washington, D.C., has become reliant on her office’s red light, green light system. A rod the width of a sharpie sticks out of her monitor with a dome on it. When she needs to focus, she turns the dome red. When on a call, she switches it to yellow. When she is open to people strolling through her office to chat, a green light beckons them in.
The office, in other words, also serves as a living room, gym and summer camp recreation hall. “It’s for sure not a library here,” said Andrew Zuro, the company founder.
Some are nostalgic for the silence they had at home, especially since in-office perks, aimed at luring people back, can make it harder to concentrate.
Roberts, who runs a nonprofit in the Florida Keys, started out a recent morning with a list of tasks that ideally she would have raced right through. Figure out coverage for someone going on summer vacation. (Easy.) Look at the accountant’s recent audit. (Blah.) Redo a reimbursement request that the county finance department turned down. (Why?!) All simple enough.
Even the work that Roberts isn’t particularly well equipped to handle often winds up on her desk. “I’m the IT person,” said Roberts, who runs Keys Area Interdenominational Resources. “When the printer is jammed I’m trying to figure it out, Googling how to fix it or calling on my husband or children, ‘What do I do?’”

fice interruptions aren’t distributed evenly, according to pre-pandemic research. Women are more likely than men to be asked to do tasks that do not lead to promotions and that “everyone prefers be completed by someone else,” like coordinating holiday parties, according to a 2017 paper in the American Economic Review. Women were 48% more likely to volunteer for this type of work, and when asked to complete it, women agreed 76% of the time, compared with men at 50%.
Research tends to back up the squishy sense that people get more done outside the office. A study from Stanford of a 16,000-person travel agency found that call center employees working remotely were 13% more productive than their in-person colleagues. Another study of 1,600 professionals found that they wrote 8% more code working a hybrid schedule compared with being fully in the office.
But many executives feel strongly about the benefits of the office: the opportunities to find mentors, build relationships and brainstorm. Some workers also struggle to be productive at home, especially those with care-taking responsibilities. So companies are going to extremes to bring quiet into the office.
By the end of the workday Roberts, like so many, leaves the office with a to-do list no shorter than it was when she arrived.The last two decades saw businesses rethink their office spaces — some squeezing into smaller ones as rent increased, others undertaking an arms race for perks. The most luxe offices gained slides, nap pods, laundry, ball pits and streams of cold brew.
Then there is the set of businesses that have embraced the office as a site of occasional chaos. At Zline, an appliance company based in Reno, Nevada, where employees go in five days a week, late Friday afternoons in the office are for pingpong. Sometimes the employee band, called Hourly Rate, starts jamming and one of the more intrepid employees scales the company’s rock climbing wall.
As managers try to draw people back to the office, they’re wrestling with how to rebuild a sense of community without taking away the focus that often came with remote work. Meanwhile, some workers are getting nostalgic for the silence they had at home, especially because many of the office changes
“We started talking about the fact that I went on the Peloton for the first time since my second son was born,” Batchelor said, adding that had they both been out of the office, the conversation would have been all business. “She would have sent me an email being like, ‘FYI the training is being rearranged.’”

Dollar rallies against euro, yen after surprisingly firm U.S. consumer prices
“While yesterday’s data clearly reduces the risk of further aggressive Fed action (+75bps) and therefore helps curtail US dollar demand, we equally see it as unlikely that this data alone will prompt much further US dollar selling from here,” currency analysts at MUFG said in a note.
Stocks broke a string of three weekly losses, as inves tors appeared to grow more confident that the market had reached at least a temporary bottom after surrendering about half of its summer rally. Some moderating inflation fears may have also been at work, and a midweek decline in oil pric es—which briefly hit their lowest level since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine—caused energy shares to underperform within the S&P 500 Index, although the sector still recorded a gain. A rally in heavily weighted Tesla helped the consumer discre tionary sector outperform. Markets were closed Monday in observance of Labor Day.
Our traders noted that signs that inflation was cooling quicker than expected also seemed to support sentiment. Stocks rallied after the Wednesday afternoon release of the Fed’s “Beige Book” summarizing economic reports from its branch banks. The report indicated that price increases were moderating in nine of its 12 districts, as “lower fuel prices and cooling overall demand alleviated cost pressures, especially freight shipping rates.” The report also noted some declines in prices for steel, lumber, and copper. A surprise moderation in Chinese producer price inflation (see below) seemed to help foster a rally on Friday.

Elizabeth was assigned little blame when British authorities in Kenya tortured suspected Mau Mau rebels in the 1950s, or after British forces fighting anti-colo nial unrest used similar tactics against civilians in Cyprus in 1955 and Aden, Ye men, in 1963.
But as the queen aged and receded from view, and as the world tackled a broader examination of the sins of co lonialization, it became harder to keep the monarchy at a benign distance from racism and the acts of empire. In former colonies worldwide, demands for a full accounting of the pain, suffering and plundered riches that helped contribute to the royal family’s enormous wealth have been increasing.

The queen gazes from the currency of many countries, and her name graces hospitals and roads.

Her son King Charles III, at 73, has little chance of matching the queen’s power as a shaper of global opinion — a task she took on at a younger age, in a different time.
Reconciling a seemingly benevolent queen with the often-cruel legacy of the British Empire is the conundrum at the heart of Britain’s post-imperial influence. The British royal family reigned over more territories and people than any oth er monarchy in history, and among the countries that have never quite let go of the crown, Elizabeth’s death accelerates a push to address the past more fully and strip away the vestiges of colonialism.

Pro-Russian social media accounts have shown images of Russian and proKremlin Chechen forces mustering for deployment in Ukraine or headed to the front.Russia retains an advantage in wea pons and supplies, and Putin has over the course of the war shown no sign of relenting his military’s assault. Last week he insisted Russia had “not lost anything, and will not lose anything,” dismissing his country’s casualties to that point.
By expelling Russian troops from a large slice of strategic territory in the nor theastern Kharkiv region, Ukrainian for ces are now positioned to make a move on the Donbas, the industrialized eastern territory that President Vladimir Putin of Russia has made central to his war aims. Just before flooding troops across the border in February, Putin declared the Donbas independent from Ukraine, and he held up the region’s sovereignty as a key justification for the invasion.
Terrain like rivers and forests is fur ther hampering Ukrainian advances. Near Izium, Russian forces have retrea ted across the Oskil River, which runs north to south and connects to the Si versky Donets River, which flows to the southeast into the Donbas.
“Ukrainelines.now has options to exploit momentum” in the Donbas, Kofman said. Russian forces, he added, “will be on the defensive for the foreseeable fu ture.”Ukraine’s ability to recapture roughly 1,000 square miles around Kharkiv in a matter of days was largely predicated on a Russian retreat, as Moscow’s for ces withdrew to avoid encirclement and isolation, especially near the strategically important city of Izium.
With Russia’s Kharkiv defenses de molished and their troops redeploying elsewhere, the last remaining Russian front lines — those in the Donbas and Ukraine’s south — are likely where the remainder of intense ground fighting will play out, analysts said.
The current Ukrainian offensive “was a rapid breakthrough designed to take advantage of favorable positions and thinly manned Russian defenses,” said Michael Kofman, the director of Russian studies at CNA, a research institute in Ar lington, Virginia.

That could leave Ukrainian units vul nerable, said John Blaxland, a professor of security and intelligence studies at the Australian National University in Can berra. Although he added that a Russian counterattack was “not necessarily going to happen,” in part because the morale of Moscow’s troops appears to be foun dering.

But on Sunday night, Moscow de monstrated its willingness to punish Ukraine for its military successes by appearing to launch cruise missiles at power plants and their substations in the country’s east.
Stretching the Ukrainian forces — a military still much smaller and far less equipped than its Russian foe — too far could leave the troops vulnerable to attack. Moving too slow, or in the wrong place, could leave an opportunity squan dered. And waiting too long could allow the front lines to freeze as winter sets in.
The Russian pullout from the Kharkiv region and Izium, a railway hub, has left the Ukrainians with the “ability to shift quickly” elsewhere in the country, Kof man said. He also noted Ukraine’s troops have an advantage in manpower and the ability to conduct “operations along more than one axis,” referring to a sepa rate offensive taking place in Ukraine’s south, near the port city of Kherson.

The two rivers, by exposing troops trying to cross, have been used to lethal effect by both Ukraine and Russia — as the Oskil was used in 1942, when Soviet snipers and artillery on the eastern side slowed Nazi Germany’s push toward Moscow.
Russian officials face their own hard questions, especially with a growing bac klash to their “special military operation” from pro-war voices at home. Russia’s military leaders, analysts say, will have to take a cleareyed look at the reality of their forces’ current conditions — de pleted and demoralized in some areas — to determine how much of Moscow’s goals they can accomplish in the coming months, if any.
ries around the country’s second-largest city, Kharkiv, means Ukrainian troops are positioned to make gains farther east — before Russian forces can retrench on new front
Both rivers have been used by Rus sian forces as natural defensive lines, ensuring that Ukrainian forces could be easily targeted as they attempt to cross over a limited number of bridges.
Russia now has control of nearly 90% of the Donbas, where its military shifted much of its focus after a staggering defeat around the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, in the spring. If Ukraine were to retake even a part of the region, it would be an emba rrassing blow to the Kremlin.

de of young and ambitious strivers trying to make ends meet.
Ruto, 55, who has been the country’s vice president for the past 10 years, was born to a religious family in a small villa ge in Kenya’s Rift Valley, where he helped plant maize and went to school barefoot.
However, he said, “I don’t think we want to start a mud fight at a wedding and in the process soil the bride’s gown.”
He was part of an administration that over the past decade took steps to muzzle the press by threatening journa lists with arrest, shutting down broadcas ters, starving media outlets of advertising revenue and warning journalists that they didn’t have full freedoms as protected by the Constitution.Thoseworries were revived this wee kend when Ruto’s team announced that it was giving exclusive broadcast rights to cover the inauguration to MultiChoice Kenya — an affiliate of the South African pay-TV company MultiChoice. Kenyan media had to rely on the broadcast from the South African outlet.
On Tuesday morning, Mathiu of Na tion Media said that after negotiations with Ruto’s team, they were allowed to have their vans around the stadium but that the main feed would still come from MultiChoice.Mediaanalysts said they hoped the move did not augur an era in which the press will be further stifled.
A stampede at the entrance of the Moi International Sports Center Kasarani in Nairobi, where the inauguration was held, injured at least a dozen people.
Odinga did not attend the ceremony, saying in a tweet that he was out of the country.Ruto and his vice president, Rigathi Gachagua, who also took the oath of offi ce, both said they knew they were taking the helm of a nation facing mounting eco nomic, political and social challenges.
Security was tight at the stadium, stra ining to stop hundreds more people who thronged the gates. At least a dozen people were injured as they jostled to enter, a dis patcher with the St. John ambulance servi ce said.Ruto showed his initial interest in poli tics in the 1990s, becoming a stalwart ally of Kenya’s longtime ruler, Daniel arap Moi, winning a position in Parliament and later serving as a Cabinet minister for agriculture and higher education.
And he promised in his speech to bring down the cost of food and fertilizer, impro ve access to credit for small and medium businesses and make Kenya a thriving in vestment and business destination.

illiam Ruto was sworn in as Kenya’s fifth president Tuesday in a ceremony attended by dozens of global leaders and diplomats — a pea ceful handover of power following a bitter election campaign that underscored the entrenched if troubled place of democracy in East Africa’s largest economy.
Kenya is in a region layered with stri fe — in Ethiopia, Somalia, South Sudan and the Congo — and Ruto, observers say, could play a role in promoting peace and stability.
But in a potentially ominous sign for freedom of the press, Ruto’s team limited the access of local television stations to the inauguration, handing exclusive broadcast rights for the ceremony to a local affiliate of a South African pay-TV company. (Jour nalists from local newspapers and radio stations could cover the proceedings in person.)During the campaign, Ruto had repea tedly accused Kenya’s media outlets of bias
Kenya is saddled with onerous debt, much of it borrowed to finance large in frastructure projects. Inflation is climbing, the currency continues to depreciate aga inst the dollar and food and fuel prices are skyrocketing because of the war in Ukrai ne. Four back-to-back seasons of belowaverage rainfall have left more than 4 mi llion Kenyans hungry and thirsty.
Ruto announced Tuesday that Ken yatta had agreed to his request to serve as his representative in peace initiatives in conflicts in Ethiopia and the Great Lakes region.But at home, Ruto faces a divided na tion after a nail-biter of an election that also saw more than one-third of voters, many jaded by political infighting and endemic corruption in government, stay home.“The incoming administration has a full inbox,” said Karuti Kanyinga, a scho lar at the Institute for Development Stu dies at the University of Nairobi. “There’s a lot to worry about.”
Dennis Itumbi, Ruto’s spokesperson, justified the move by saying MultiChoi ce Kenya was not just any private con tractor but was partly owned by Kenya’s national broadcaster. Wanjohi Githae, a member of Ruto’s communications team, said in a text message Monday that while local media could bring their broadcas ting vans, there was no parking space for them “anywhere near the stadium.”
After bitter election, crowds and confetti greet Kenya’s new president
One of those worries will be how Ruto’s government will treat the media.
During the campaign, Ruto clashed with his boss, the former president, Uhuru Kenyatta, who had endorsed Ruto’s rival, Odinga, a former prime minister and op position figure. Kenyatta did not congratu late Ruto until Monday evening, when he finally welcomed him to the presidential office.On Tuesday, Kenyatta attended the inauguration, and when the two leaders shook hands and even hugged, the audien ce in the stadium leaped to their feet and erupted with cheers.
His extraordinary rise almost came to an end a decade ago, when the Internatio nal Criminal Court charged him with crimes against humanity, accusing him of helping to orchestrate the violence that followed the 2007 elections. But the court dropped the case against him in 2016, citing “wit ness interference and political meddling.”
Mutuma Mathiu, editor-in-chief of the Nation Media Group, which owns print and television news outlets, said in an interview that the media had a “national duty” to co ver the transfer of power, and defended his organization against charges of bias.
The Moi International Sports Center was filled to its capacity of 60,000 people by 5 a.m., with attendees blowing vuvuze las, dancing to gospel and patriotic songs and waving the Kenyan flag. Immediately after the new president was inaugurated, the crowd broke into chants of “Ruto, Ruto,” as fireworks popped near the dais and confetti was scattered across the sta dium.“I want to thank God because a village boy has become the president of Kenya,” Ruto said to roaring applause.

whole life, King Charles has been in the shadow of women with more star power. First, his mother, the queen. Next, his first wife, Diana. Then, in recent years, Meghan Markle, with her breakaway from Buckingham Palace and her sensational Oprah interview alleging racism in the royal family.
I saw this dynamic up close, on the 1985 visit of Prince Charles and Princess Diana to Washington, four years after they married. They brought 7,000 pounds of luggage.
The queen showed all the empathy and warmth she could not summon when Diana died. By the end of the visit, the Irish had melted. They were calling Elizabeth their “prodigal mother,” “Liz,” and some were even waving Union Jacks. Her Irish guard of honor gave her the moniker “Eilis A Do,” Gaelic for Elizabeth II.
But as the visit wore on, heads swiveled to Diana. If the royals are the last great silent film stars, as some say, here was Garbo.
The Irish were skeptical at first, not wanting to be treated as subjects. Gerry Adams complained the visit was too soon. (Maybe wait another century.) The queen’s guards were skeptical, too. She had the tightest security ever on the island.
And how could the Irish move past the 1972 Bloody Sunday horror, when British forces gunned down 14 innocent civilians?
I always thought of Queen Elizabeth as an avatar of nepotism and colonialism. But as time went on, and victimhood became the fashion, I began to have a creeping admiration for her stoicism.
She visited the Garden of Remembrance, a memorial to Irish patriots who died battling for independence, laying a wreath and bowing her head. She paid sartorial tribute with outfits by her Irish dressmaker: a gown featuring 2,091 hand-sewn shamrocks, hats trimmed in green feathers, an Irish harp brooch made of Swarovski crystals, ladies-inwaiting in 50 shades of green.
“She’s a great little mover,” Travolta pronounced afterward.Diana was euphoric. No one seemed to notice if Charles was having a good time.

Diana rarely spoke in public. She didn’t have to. When the couple experienced Americana in a suburban mall, she unveiled The Look. She tucked her chin, then flashed those sky blues under her hooded lids and her hat brim — a look both shy and sulky.Diana seemed to relish her ability to draw all attention wordlessly. Charles seemed to handle it well, but I wondered how it would work out in the long run. (It didn’t.)
The capstone of the trip came when Nancy Reagan played fairy godmother to Cinderella at a White House dinner. Diana wore a midnight blue velvet gown and a pearl-and-sapphire choker. As the princess started tapping her fingers on the table and her feet on the floor to the music, the first lady led over Diana’s dance partner: John Travolta. The Marine Band had been practicing “Night Fever,” and the glamorous pair twirled. “Diana’s Saturday Night Fever,” The Daily Mail trumpeted.
I was raised in an Irish family baked in bitterness about British oppression. The monarchy seems like an expensive relic to me, and I think King Charles, on the throne at last at 73, will struggle with a domain in which former colonies may consider dropping him as head of state.

It was the sixth time in eight years that HBO has taken the television industry’s biggest prize for a recurring series, making it yet another triumphant night for the cable network. HBO, as well as its streaming service, HBO Max, won more Emmys (38) than any other outlet, besting its chief rival, Netflix (26).
Michael Keaton, who played a small town doctor in “Dopesick,” took the best actor award in a limited series. And Amanda Seyfried won best actress in a limited series for her well-received performance as Elizabeth Holmes in “The Drop out.”
This year’s ceremony was the first return to the Microsoft Theater since the pandemic. Producers for the Emmys incor porated an element that it experimented with at last year’s cer emony, which took place inside a tent: Instead of theater-style seating, nominees were gathered around tables with bottles of Champagne and wine around them.

Opera singers, directors and spies — in his fiction, all of them confront the tension between the urgency to know and the difficulty of under standing.His novels were never overtly political, but they dealt with many of the themes that have occupied Spanish society since the fall of the country’s fascist regime in the 1970s: betrayal, memory, moral ambivalence and the unexpected weight of the past.

Javier Marías Franco was born Sept. 20, 1951, in Madrid, the son of Julián Marías, a philosopher, and Dolores Franco, a writer unrelated to the country’s ruling dictator. In fact, his father, a follower of phi losopher José Ortega y Gasset’s, had opposed Franco during the Spanish Civil War and was nearly execut ed afterward. He received a last-minute reprieve but was forbidden to teach.

Although he was a staunch opponent of Fran cisco Franco’s, the dictator who led Spain from 1939 until his death in 1975, Marías went against the in stincts of many of his fellow liberals by remaining skeptical, even critical, of the public urge to dwell on the memory of the fascist era.
avier Marías, a Spanish novelist whose elegant style and intricate plots centered on espionage, mur der and betrayal won him comparisons to Marcel Proust and Ian Fleming, died Sunday at his home in Madrid. He was 70.
He was more than just a famous novelist. Marías wrote a widely read weekly column in El País, Spain’s leading newspaper, where he set down his thoughts on everything from bike lanes (he hated them) to the Spanish government (which he also detested, regard less of the party in power).
Although he was not particularly well known in the United States, Marías was among the few writers to combine critical praise with a bestseller readership: He sold about 8 million copies of his 14 novels, four books of short stories and dozens of essay collections. His books were translated into 46 languages; his 1992 novel “Un Corazón Tan Blanco,” published in English in 1995 as “A Heart So White,” sold 1.3 million cop ies in Germany alone.
The Marías household was liberal and intellec tual, and Javier devoured books, particularly tales of adventure by Joseph Conrad and Robert Louis Steven son. When he was 17, he ran away to Paris to spend a summer with his uncle Jesús Franco, a B-movie direc tor (“Vampyros Lesbos” and “Virgin Among the Living Dead”) and occasional pornographer whom Marías later called “something like the Spanish Ed Wood.”
He cultivated a public image as a curmudgeon, but in person he was generous and witty, inviting in terviewers for long conversations in his dimly lit study, his fingers tweezering an ever-present cigarette. (One column he wrote in 2006, for The New York Times, castigated Madrid’s anti-smoking laws as “far more befitting of Franco than a democracy.”)
He returned to Spain to study at the Complutense University of Madrid, graduating with a degree in phi losophy and literary sciences in 1973. He wrote an other novel, then spent the next several years as a translator, taking on not just novels but poetry, too, including volumes by Wallace Stevens, William But ler Yeats and John Ashbery.
“Some things are so evil that it’s enough that they simply happened,” he told a reporter with The New York Times Magazine in 2019. “They don’t need to be given a second existence by being retold.”
Marias is survived by his wife, editor Carme Lopez Mercader, and his brothers Fernando, an art historian; Miguel, a film critic and economist; and Ál varo, a Hemusician.worehis fame lightly, and joked that such comparisons said less about his talents than they did about a general decline in literary achievement. When “The Infatuations” won the state-run National Novel Prize, one of Spain’s highest literary awards, he rejected the $20,000 in prize money, saying he did not want to be indebted to a government of any kind.
Marías wrote in a looping, discursive style that critics often compared to that of Henry James or Lau
Marías occupied a repu tational perch in Spanish culture that would be al most inconceivable for an American author. His nov els were greeted like blockbuster summer films, he received practically every prize available to a Span ish writer, and he was regularly considered a favorite to win the Nobel Prize in literature, one of the few awards to elude his grasp. Most critics considered him the greatest living Spanish writer; some said the greatest since Miguel de Cervantes.
When Javier was a few months old, the family
He did maintain one such relationship, though: In 1997, he became king of Redonda, an uninhab ited island in the Caribbean. The fictional Kingdom of Redonda is something of a running in-joke among European artists, who occupy the throne and make up most of its peerage. After his predecessor, author Jon Wynne-Tyson, abdicated in his favor, Marías took the royal name Xavier I.
Then, reverting to his familiar ambivalence, he said, “That’s what I think on some days, anyway,” adding, “Other days I think the contrary.”
As of press time, a successor to King Xavier I had not been named, although several pretenders claim the throne as theirs.

we are told she loved fashion, and photos of her attending London Fashion Week have surfaced this week, the late Queen Elizabeth II was not really a die-hard fash ionista.She had style, grand style, and I do believe she had fun approving her looks. But in keeping with her role as an impor tant world leader and respected monarch, the queen carefully distanced herself from fads and extreme trends.
The British monarch was comfortable in her own skin. Confident. She truly shined when ever she stepped out in one of her signature suits, artistic hats, purse and gloves. As a tribute to the beloved queen, I found some looks and colors in the runways of New York Fashion Week that remind me of her, and I think she would have liked. These looks are fit for a queen.

Cameroon.Most people who die from monkeypox are Africans. There are two different strains of the disease, a more lethal one circulating in Congo and neighboring countries, and a less virulent version in West Africa, which is the one now being seen in high-income countries. Though deaths from monkeypox are rare, the risk of a fatal case is greatest in chil dren and pregnant women, and the disease is excruciatingly painful for anyone infected.
Dr. Sylvie Briand, the director of the WHO’s epidemic and pandemic preparedness and prevention department, said the global response to monkeypox was complicated by the fact that most of the medical interventions lacked human clinical trial data, and did not have regulatory approval.
Many public health experts say that a lethargic mon keypox response, predicated on the analysis that few people are dying in this outbreak, ignores the risks posed by this vi rus that is behaving in ways not seen before.
It is difficult to even know the number of people who have monkeypox in developing nations because many lack capacity for diagnosing the disease, which is done with a polymerase chain reaction test. Most of the testing in coun tries that have had outbreaks for years is done at the surveil lance level, testing only a sampling of the population to find the overall incidence of the disease. Testing to diagnose indi vidual patients, many of whom live in isolated rural areas, is rare or“Wenonexistent.don’thave access to testing in Africa so we don’t know where cases are, so you can’t use that as a basis for decisions on the use of resources,” said Dr. Boghuma Titanji, an assistant professor of medicine at Emory University who responded to a monkeypox outbreak in 2018 in her native
“The obvious solution for this problem is for the U.S. government to put all of the doses it owns — more than 15 million — into vials, so they can go into arms, in the U.S. and elsewhere,” said James Krellenstein, a founder of PrEP4All, a medicines access advocacy group. “This is the single most important step that anyone can take to help bring this out
But Mendoza, an infectious disease specialist, has little to offer. “I have no options,” he said in an interview. Neither the antiviral drug nor the vaccine being used against mon keypox in the United States and Europe is available in Peru.
An analysis by the advocacy organization Public Citizen estimates that the high-income countries that have snapped up the Jynneos vaccine are paying $110 per dose. Paul Chap lin, Bavarian-Nordic’s president, said in an earnings call last month that the vaccine had one price in all markets, which would be discounted only for high-volume purchasers.
The Latin American arm of the WHO has secured a donation of a small number of doses for that region; Bra zil’s ministry of health confirmed that it expected to receive 50,000 of them.

The scramble for monkeypox vaccines and treatments has been centered in the United States and Europe, where supplies of shots have stretched thin or nearly run out. But more than 100 countries are now reporting monkeypox cas es, and a vast majority of those have had no vaccine or treat ments at Theyall.have been shut out by the prohibitive cost and by wealthy nations who bought up most of the available doses. The United States already controlled most of the vac cine, which was originally developed for smallpox, as part of its bioweapons strategy after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Some public health groups are also criticizing the WHO for not doing more to ensure swift movement on equitable access to tests, treatments and vaccines, after it declared monkeypox a public health emergency of interna tional concern on July 23. They say the issues echo those seen with COVID-19, but without any of the mechanisms that were developed to try to right the balance during the coronavirus pandemic.
The antiviral drug tecovirimat, marketed in the United States as Tpoxx, has been safety-tested in humans, and its ef ficacy against monkeypox has been tested in nonhuman pri mates. Two human clinical trials to test against monkeypox are underway, the first of which should report data early next year. But the current lack of human data means the WHO cannot do the typical prequalification process that helps countries speed up authorization of a drug.
Krellenstein said he felt that not everyone in the re search world shared the sense of urgency that pushed the WHO director-general, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, to declare the emergency.
“Monkeypox really has a huge runway right now to better adapt,” Titanji said. “It’s a bad thing to not get on top of another pox virus circulating in human beings.”
“We have nothing, even though we are the country with one of the highest numbers of cases by population,” said Mendoza, who works with the medical charity Partners in Health.Neighboring Brazil, which, according to the World Health Organization, has close to 10% of global monkeypox cases, currently has no vaccine or treatment either. Nor do the countries in West and Central Africa that have struggled with monkeypox outbreaks for decades.
The rapid spread of the disease to high-income nations, beginning four months ago, set off a scramble for vaccines. While there is no shot specifically for monkeypox, data from trials with nonhuman primates suggested that vaccines against the closely related smallpox virus might also prevent transmission of this one. The focus became the Jynneos small pox vaccine made by Danish firm Bavarian-Nordic, which is the easiest to administer of several smallpox vaccines and has the lowest number of side effects.
Bavarian-Nordic had approximately 16 million doses of the vaccine, most of which were owned by or contracted to the United States, which contributed more than $1 billion to develop the vaccine as a defense strategy after 9/11 when officials feared smallpox could be used as a bioweapon. Those U.S. doses were earmarked as a defense stockpile and in the form of bulk drug, not bottled vaccines, which slowed distribution. The roughly 1 million that remained were quick ly purchased by Canada, Australia and European countries starting in
ThereMay.are no doses purchased or ordered for African countries to date. A clinical trial of the Jynneos vaccine led by the National Institutes of Health is beginning in Congo but that country has no vaccine supply available for health work ers or contacts of people who fall ill.

“The reaction seems to be, ‘Nobody is dying so it’s not a security threat’ — and it’s gay people and trans people and Africans who are sick — so it seems very academic” to the national security decision makers who control access to the vaccine stockpile, he said.
Monkeypox shots, treatments and tests are unavailable in much of the world
the past month, a couple of patients a day have sat across from Dr. Alberto Mendoza at the HIV clinic where he works in Lima, Peru, to hear him confirm what they had feared: They have monkeypox. The men are tormented by the painful lesions the virus causes. They’re also afraid, because the visible sores mark them as men who have sex with men, a dangerous identity in Peru, where there is intense discrimination against homosexuality.
“People think that because it’s an emergency it will be a matter of days, but for all those things it’s a matter of week or months,” she said. “We are trying to shorten the time be tween each step and make it happen faster. But it’s not so easy. You have to make sure something is safe and effective.”

To the extraordinary situation at Wim bledon, which Djokovic won again in July but which earned him no ranking points; the tournament had been stripped of points by the men’s and women’s tours because of Wimbledon’s ban on Russian and Belarusian players over the war in Ukraine.
“I had to be sure,” he said.
His coronation also comes down to tim ing:
In an interview with the Spanish pub lication El País, Juanjo Moreno, Alcaraz’s physiotherapist, said Alcaraz had a “good genetic predisposition that we have man aged to bring to its maximum splendor.”
Alcaraz’s situation is radically different from the case of Nadal, who, as the longtime No. 2, had to chase Roger Federer for years before finally securing the top ranking.
Timing is everything for Carlos Alcaraz
“Numero uno!” shouted someone in Spanish.Alcaraz took note, just as he had after waking up Monday and looking at the up dated ATP rankings on his phone.
“I’m 19 years old,” he said with a grin. “And I have worked a lot and very hard day to day on recovery, and I have a magnificent team.”He offered his thanks
Quality sleep is also essential. “The oth er day, we helped him with a sleep supple ment because we had given him a lot of caf feine,” Moreno told El País.
But Alcaraz’s meteoric rise to the top has not been simply because of his genius — though the word, which should be used very sparingly in tennis or anything else, does seem to apply in his acrobatic case.
Finishing at that hour (and going to sleep at 6 a.m.) is no way for an elite athlete to optimize performance or for a major sports event to maximize its reach even if tennis is a global sport and 2:50 a.m. in New York is prime time in certain parts of the world.
Moreno explained that the team paid close attention to Alcaraz’s hydration and energy replenishment during matches, which included the ingestion of caffeine, a legalButsupplement.Moreno said post-match recovery was the key: focusing on the use of a station ary bike, hot-and-cold contrast baths, mas sage and what he calls the “four Rs.” Those are “rehydration, replenishment of muscle glycogen, restoration of lost amino acids and recovery for the immune system.”
“Look, I don’t want to take credit away from myself,” Alcaraz said. “But it’s true that Rafa, Djokovic, Federer, they were in a pe riod when they were all playing. I had the luck or whatever you want to call it that Djokovic could not play. Everybody has their reasons, but that is the reality. He could not play much for a while, and Rafa kept playing but not all year, either. But like I said, I don’t want to take credit away from myself. I have been playing all season, playing incredible matches and incredible tournaments, and I’ve worked really hard so that things like this couldAthappen.”theend of 2021, Alcaraz was consid ered one of the brightest young talents in the game and was ranked No. 32. Less than nine months later, he has won the Rio Open, Mi ami Open, Barcelona Open, Madrid Open
and now his first Grand Slam title at the U.S. Open.Along the way, he has beaten the old guard, defeating Nadal and Djokovic in Ma drid, and the new wave, defeating 21-yearold Italian Jannik Sinner, 24-year-old Ameri can Frances Tiafoe and 23-year-old Ruud in NewAlcaraz’sYork. latest duel with Sinner in the quarterfinals was the match of the tourna ment, played at close to full throttle for five sets in 5 hours, 15 minutes, with Alcaraz sav ing a match point in the fourth set.
But Alcaraz said Monday that other lessscientific factors were also in play.
U.S. Open victory party at Carlos Alcaraz’s Manhattan hotel wrapped up before 3 a.m. Monday, which was early by his standards at this round-the-clock Grand Slam event.
At 19, Alcaraz is the youngest No. 1 since the ATP rankings were created in 1973. That is quite a feat in a sport that has had plenty of prodigies: from Bjorn Borg to Mats Wilander, Boris Becker to Pete Sampras, to Alcaraz’s Spanish compatriot Rafael Nadal, who also won his first major at age 19 (at the 2005 French Open).
Alcaraz has reached No. 1 before the end of his second full season on tour and after winning his first major title with a fourset victory against Casper Ruud on Sunday.

“I got to bed at 5:15 a.m. after the Cilic match, and 6 a.m. after the Sinner match,” he said rather wearily as he sat in the back seat of an SUV, shifting his gaze from his interlocutor to the streetscape outside the tintedHewindows.wasrolling toward Times Square for a rendezvous with his new trophy, and upon arrival, he stepped onto the sidewalk in his jeans and blue-and-white sneakers and was soon holding the silverware high with the photographers — professional and amateur — clicking away as a crowd began to gather.
To Novak Djokovic’s refusal to be vac cinated for COVID-19, which kept him out of this year’s Australian Open and U.S. Open and four Masters 1000 events in North America.ToNadal’s limited schedule because of a series of injuries.
On the upside, this was the first time in U.S. Open history that all sessions in Arthur Ashe Stadium were sold out. That was in part because of the impact of Serena Wil liams’ announcement that the end of her ca reer was imminent, which spiked interest in first-week tickets at Ashe Stadium.
It was also the latest-finishing match in U.S. Open history, wrapping up at 2:50 a.m. ET, which is certainly notable but also a du bious honor even if the tournament present ed him with a commemorative photo from that record-breaking match Sunday.

Like the elegant Edberg’s and the elas tic Kuerten’s, Alcaraz’s powers of recovery were astonishing, and for now at least he plans to play in the Davis Cup for Spain later this week in Valencia after flying home.
But Stacey Allaster, the U.S. Open tour nament director, said officials would cer tainly take another look at the night-session schedule before the 2023 Open.
By CHRISTOPHER CLAREY
“But above all, it was going on the court with the adrenaline, the matches and every thing,” he said. “You forget the pain. You for get the fatigue, and you push through.”
What is clear is that Alcaraz’s three con secutive late-night marathons did not keep him from the championship. He beat Marin Cilic, Sinner and Tiafoe in five sets each be fore defeating Ruud, becoming the third man in the Open era to win a major after winning three consecutive five-setters. (Stefan Edberg did it at the 1992 U.S. Open, and Gustavo Kuerten did it at the 1997 French Open.)

The boos for Wilson started the mo ment he and his new team took the field, and they continued throughout. He was sacked twice and hit numerous times, much to the delight of the sellout crowd at Lumen Field. Fans held signs that said “Show Russ the Boom,” a reference to Seattle’s “Legion of Boom” defense, and “12 > 3,” a nod to the Seahawks’ nickname for their fans — as in the 12th

The Cowboys now will turn to their backup quarterback, Cooper Rush. A fifthyear player who was undrafted out of Cen tral Michigan, Rush made his first career start last season filling in for Prescott. He led Dallas to a win over the Minnesota Vikings that day, but to call him untested would be an Cowboysunderstatement.fanswhosounded off on
But as news of Prescott’s injury filtered out, some Cowboys fans started calling for the team to pick up or trade for a variety of quarterbacks, while the more cynical among them began talking about drafting one next year with a pick that could — it appears now — be pretty high in the first round.Meanwhile, the other three teams in the NFC East all won — yes, even the New York Giants! That leaves Dallas in an un expected spot for what might be awhile: last place.Nextup for Dallas: Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals, who will be eager for victory after a frustrating opening-day loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

he talk for the Dallas Cowboys this season was about whether they could finally make a deep playoff run after a disappointing loss in a wild-card game last season extended a 26-season streak of not making it past the divisional round.
Though Wilson repeatedly connect ed with his new receivers, Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton, for big gains and threw for 340 yards and one touchdown, he could not will the Broncos to a vic tory that surely would have carried per sonal significance.

The heralded Denver defense was repeatedly penalized, allowing the Se ahawks to extend drives.
The Seahawks’ defense ultimately won, recovering fumbles by Melvin Gor don and Javonte Williams on goal-line stands to help the Seahawks maintain a 17-13
The ageless Brady finished 18 of 27 for 212 yards, with a touchdown and an in terception. Without Cooper as an option, Prescott struggled even before his injury, finishing 14 of 29 for 134 yards and an in terception. His adjusted yards per pass fig ure of 3.07 was the worst of the 28 quar terbacks who started Sunday. Last season’s top offense never got on track: Ezekiel El liott ran for 52 yards, and Prescott didn’t have a completion longer than 22 yards.
message boards were glum even before the news of Prescott’s injury, taking them selves to task for getting their hopes up, and blaming the receiving corps and an other perennial scapegoat, Coach Mike McCarthy.“It’sa long journey; this is Week 1,” McCarthy gamely said after the loss to the Bucs. As for the catastrophic performance, he had a relatively sunny take: “Offensive ly, our rhythm was up and down.”
Looking forward, he said of Rush, “We’ll definitely rally around Cooper.”
Smith finished with 195 yards and two touchdowns on 23 of 28 passing.
There was some concern over the de cision to trade receiver Amari Cooper. But Dallas had the most potent offense in the league last season, scoring 530 points, and quarterback Dak Prescott had thrown for 37 touchdowns. At the very least, Dallas looked like the favorite to win the NFC East.Then came Week 1. Making the play offs at all seems a little far-fetched after Tom Brady, 45, and running back Leonard Fournette schooled the Cowboys defense, and the Dallas offense never came close to a touchdown in a 19-3 home loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday night.
By game’s end, the crowd of 68,695 chanted “Ge-no, Ge-no,” to celebrate Wilson’s replacement, Geno Smith, who began the game by completing 17 of his first 18 passes, one of which found tight end Will Dissly alone for a 38-yard score on the Seahawks’ first offensive posses sion.

The Cowboys’ season started poorly. Then it got worse.
After a dull first half, which ended with Tampa ahead, 4-1, in field goals (and 12-3 in points), Brady threw his first touchdown pass of the year in the third quarter. That provided the final margin of victory. That Fournette got 127 yards on 21 carries, in cluding 40 yards on the drive that led to the touchdown, showed that Tampa was confident it had the game in hand nearly the whole time.

Worse, Prescott fractured his thumb while he was throwing a fourth-quarter pass. He will miss several weeks because the injury requires surgery to repair, the team said; multiple news media reports put the estimate at six to eight weeks.

The man who keeps baseball’s union moving
“Complacencycontinue. is not an option,” Clark said. “I’m not wired that way. We as base ball players can’t be wired that way. And so
On the field, Clark is more circum spect. The game’s competitive integrity under the new labor deal, to him, remains a work in progress. Cincinnati and Oak land conducted fire-sale trades as soon as the lockout ended, and Washington unloaded as the season unfolded.
So Clark will keep moving toward what in his mind is a better game. Al though his contract is up this year, it is ex pected to be extended when the union’s executive board meets in November.
“Tony doesn’t need to be the lead ne gotiator,” Cole continued. “He just needs to be the leader of the union, and that’s creating solidarity, it’s informing the play ers, it’s a lot of tireless, thankless work. He’s been up to every challenge ever since we voted him in.”
ony Clark learned long ago not to stay in one spot. There was a time when basketball was his future. Keep mov ing, the coaches instructed. It makes you harder to defend. Off he went to the Uni versity of Arizona and their Hall of Fame coach, Lute Olson. Clark’s path was cer tain.“I knew that was the plan,” he said. Then he blew out his back in his first Wildcats practice. Eventually, he trans ferred to San Diego State and kept trying to make things work. For two more years, he kept baseball at arm’s length while chasing his hoop dreams. The Detroit Tigers, who had selected him with the second overall pick in the 1990 draft after his senior year of high school, waited. And soon enough, their patience was rewarded.
being comfortable is not necessarily some thing that’s comfortable. That’s in large part how I try to lead our organization. If we’re static, we’re going backward.”
Throughout Clark’s athletic life, fighting for his career came naturally. As soon as his production diminished, he knew he would be replaced. Today, in different ways, the battles
The addition of Meyer — who in early July was promoted to deputy executive di rector of the union — has afforded Clark more time to devote to areas beyond labor strategy. In 2019, baseball’s union teamed with the NFL’s players to create One Team Partners, an organization that hopes to help athletes in all sports capitalize on their name, image and likeness. Unions from Major League Soccer, the WNBA and the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team soon joined.
It is September, the playoff races are crackling and the ink on the new collective bargaining agreement is still drying. And Clark, 50, is still moving.
many people involved as we could. There should be no complaining as to why we didn’t do this or did do that.”
By SCOTT MILLER
“This was not the road map, not what I anticipated doing, had planned on doing or was what I was interested in doing,” Clark, now in his ninth year as the executive di rector of the Major League Baseball Players Association, said over breakfast in Phoenix late last month. “But here we are.”
Shortly after finishing his oatmeal and fruit plate, he was completing details to unionize more than 5,000 minor league players, offering power to a group that has traditionally been treated as disposable la bor. In Washington, soon after, Clark an nounced his union would be joining the AFL-CIO. Strategically, the hope is that aligning with the nation’s largest labor fed eration and its 12.5 million members will allow growth both in terms of influence and power.
“What we saw coming out of the lockout, we believe, was planned by those teams all along,” Clark said. “It wasn’t anything that was in the deal that was going to affect the decisions that those clubs had already made.”
The new five-year labor agreement was an arduous slog for both players and owners — the 99-day lockout was the second-longest work stoppage in baseball history — and six months later the dust is still settling. The players hoped to “change some habits,” Clark said, referring to man agement.“The changes and attacks on the game itself, turning players into commodities and assets and dehumanizing them, how it’s affected the game on the field, that decision-making as a whole has players understanding and more engaged on the details and the facts and, thus, willing to voice their opinions and concerns in ways that are necessary,” Clark said. “Not just necessary for them as current players, but necessary for the next generation of play ers that comes and reflective of what the players have done before. And so we’re en couraged.”“Fraternity” is one of Clark’s favorite ways to describe the union, because it en compasses not just the current players but the alumni and the minor leaguers as well. Clark reminds his fraternity, both with his actions and his words: Keep moving.
Some days were better than others as Clark settled into the job. Negotiations for a new labor deal with owners were bruis ing in 2016. For the first time since Marvin Miller organized the players in the 1960s, their average annual salaries declined year over year, dropping 6.4% from 2017 throughClark2021.and the union leadership came under fire. They hired Bruce Meyer, an ex perienced labor lawyer, to be the lead ne gotiator for the next deal.
“I think in the last CBA, there was a lot of Monday-morning quarterbacking,” said Craig Stammen, a reliever for the San Diego Padres who was a player represen tative during the 2016 negotiations. “There were a lot more players involved this time around. The executive committee and the subcommittees made it a point to get as
As Stammen explained, going into that 2016 deal, “nobody saw analytics come in and change things to where the owners didn’t want to pay anybody over 30.”
we were trying to vote on who was going to represent us next,” said Andrew Mc Cutchen, a 14-year outfielder currently playing for the Milwaukee Brewers. “We all came together at the time and we were like, this is it. Tony Clark has been through some things. He has some old-school vibe, he was in front of things in the past, so he understands as a player, from the players’ standpoint. He gets it.”
“I can remember going back to when
The San Juan Daily StarWednesday, September 14, 202236
Clark also spearheaded efforts to in crease the players’ licensing programs and business deals in recent years that have increased the union’s cash reserves by hundreds of millions of dollars.
“I don’t want to get too far out ahead of that,” said Gerrit Cole, the Yankees starter who is a member of the union’s executive subcommittee. “But I give him high marks for certainly the last goaroundAddinghere.”Meyer and promoting Matt Nussbaum, the union’s general counsel, have helped, Cole said.
Clark was named the union’s director of player relations in 2010, the year after his retirement. Michael Weiner led the union then, and his goal had been to build out a formal player relations department that would engage and educate the next generation of players. Clark was to work as Weiner’s wingman in that capacity and then ride off into the sunset. Three years later, Weiner was dead from a brain tumor. Clark, upon Weiner’s recommendation in those final months, succeeded him.
With Tony Clark running the show, M.L.B.’s players have labor peace, are on the path to unionizing minor leaguers for the first time and say they are fighting for the soul of the game.
Baseball is more forgiving for young men with prematurely bad backs. Clark spent a few years in the minors before es tablishing himself as an everyday first base man with 30-homer power in the majors. He made the All-Star team in his final year with Detroit, 2001, and his 15-year career included stints with the New York Yankees, New York Mets and Boston Red Sox.

Good things happen when you expand your thinking and look to the bigger picture, Capricorn. The refreshing Sun/Uranus link, can find you eager to move beyond your limits and perhaps discover that you’re capable of more than you thought possible. You may be ready to take a risk with something that could fail. But even if it does, you’ll enjoy the challenge of going for it.
As Mercury retro faces-off with Jupiter, it seems that you’re not easily pleased, Cancer. You may want the opposite of what you have, because you need variety and stimulation rather than the same routine. If this is the case, go for it! Reflect on how you can make your day so different that it leaves you feeling alive and buzzing. Start with some hearty exercise, and take it from there.
The key to making the most of the coming days lies in successful communication, Pisces. The Sun’s connection to Uranus, suggests there may be something you need to say that makes you nervous. Under today’s restless yet potent sky, you might find that going ahead leads to some useful discussions that not only heal, but could make things even better between you and another.

Are people behaving strangely and acting moody or standoffish? It may be that you have unknowingly done something to annoy them, Taurus. Perhaps your tone was a bit intense, or you seemed too pushy, even if you were only trying to help. Rather than respond in kind, do the opposite. Send a friendly text or make a call. Reach out, and let them know you really do care.

Aries (Mar 21-April 20)
The emphasis on your money zone encourages you to crunch those numbers, and find out if your dreams and desires are affordable. Where there’s a will there’s a way Leo, you just need to come up with a brilliant plan to make it happen. With Mercury your money planet rewinding, don’t rush into anything too fast. Make this a time to test out various ideas and do the preparation.
Taurus (April 21-May 21)
You may think you’re being kind and thoughtful, but the Moon’s angle to Pluto, suggests others could take offence. Before you make a move to straighten someone’s collar or point out the stain on their jacket, pause Virgo. Perhaps they really don’t need to hear this, when they have much bigger things in mind. Instead, offer them a coffee or a chat, and leave any criticisms out of it.
Although you appear cool and in control of your feelings, things may be different on the inside, where you might be taking an issue very seriously. With the Moon squaring off with Pluto, admitting this to yourself can be a start. You don’t have to share with another how you feel, unless you want to, but you do need to be honest with yourself and embrace the truth, Libra.
Capricorn (Dec 22-Jan 20)
The coming days can be perfect for getting to grips with your stuff, Aquarius. And while this may refer to household clutter, it also includes emotional baggage and extraneous thoughts, all of which might be a drain on you. The Sun in your sector of change makes a lingering link to Uranus, so decluttering on all levels could leave you with room to embrace a golden opportunity.
Pisces (Feb 20-Mar 20)
Keen to adopt healthier eating habits on the home front? The Sun and Venus in Virgo, can see you cooking nutritious meals, and even extending this to treats that are good for you and taste wonderful too. The question is, how long will this last, Gemini? You are a sign that loves variety, so if the appeal wears off in a week or so, you’ll need to find another way to stay on track.
Scorpio (Oct 24-Nov 22)
Libra (Sep 24-Oct 23)
Virgo (Aug 24-Sep 23)
Ready to fight your corner? The Moon in your sign forges an edgy angle with Pluto, so it can seem that the powers that be are no longer working in your interests, and it’s time to make your own rules. Even so, your feelings around this idea could quickly change. As the Moon glides into Taurus, you’ll appreciate the security you already have and might not feel so adventurous, Aries.
Cancer (June 22-July 23)
You may want to be open with someone, and yet today’s lunar ties might cause you to be a tad defensive. Perhaps memories of a betrayal or past hurt spring to mind, and encourage you to clam up. There’s no rush when it comes to get closer to another, Scorpio. You’ll know when it feels right to discuss any personal details. Until then, just bide your time and get to know them better.
Leo (July 24-Aug 23)
With talkative Mercury in your social sector and Mars in your exploration zone, you may be curious about someone who is well travelled and has a lot of life experience. Something about them could tap into your love of adventure and far horizons, and might be a call to leave your comfort zone and try something different. Getting to know them can inspire you even more.
