Oct 31 (Reuters) - Moderna Inc (MRNA.O)said on Sunday it has been told that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration will require additional time to complete its assessment of the company's COVID-19 vaccine for use in adolescents aged 12 to 17 years.
The FDA informed Moderna that the review may not be completed before January 2022, the company said in a statement, dealing a potential setback to the timing of an emergency use authorization (EUA) for that age group.
Moderna Chief Executive Stephane Bancel told Reuters last week that based on conversations with the agency, he believed the vaccine would be authorized for those 12 to 17 in the next few weeks. read more
The U.S. biotech company said it was told late on Friday that the FDA needed the additional time to evaluate recent international analyses of the risk of a type of heart inflammation called myocarditis after vaccination, a rare side effect that has primarily affected young males.
Moderna said it is conducting its own review of new external analyses on the increased myocarditis risk in those less than 18 years of age as they become available.
Moderna applied for U.S. authorization of its shot for those aged 12 to 17 in June.
Americans of those ages are eligible for the similar COVID-19 vaccine from Pfizer Inc (PFE.N) and partner BioNTech SE after it was cleared by the FDA and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in May. read more
Moderna also said it will delay filing its request for an EUA for a half strength 50-microgram dose of the vaccine for children ages 6 to 11 while the FDA completes its review of the 12-17 filing.

The Arizona State Sun Devils (6-4) completed their series sweep of the St. Thomas Tommies (1-9), winning by a score of 4-2 in the second of two meetings between the two squads.
ASU senior forward Colin Theisen scored his first hat trick as a Sun Devil in the win, which included the decisive goal 32 seconds into the second period. Cole Brady stopped 38 of the 40 shots that came his way, bouncing back strongly from his previous start against Colgate, in which he gave up six goals on 28 shots.
If not for a multitude of penalties in the second period, the Sun Devils might well have run St. Thomas out of the building. ASU spent 14 minutes on the penalty kill, thanks in large part to two separate major penalties assessed to Jack Jensen and Tim Theocharidis which disrupted its momentum and allowed the Tommies to claw their way back into the game.
“Tonight wasn’t pretty,” Arizona State coach Greg Powers said. “Obviously (I’m) not happy at all about the penalties that put us on our heels and let (St. Thomas) back in the game. I thought they were both really stupid and they were good calls. It stopped our momentum and we never got it back.”
Unlike in game one, when the two teams were deadlocked after the first period, ASU asserted itself right away in Saturday’s contest. The Sun Devils spent almost the entirety of the game’s first ten minutes at St. Thomas’ end of the ice, and the Sun Devils led 5-0 in shots after their first few shifts. Tommies goaltender Jacob Berger held serve until 7:34 into the action, when ASU senior forward Sean Dhooghe pounced on a loose puck in the neutral zone, drove to the net and effortlessly tucked it past Berger for the game’s first goal.
The Sun Devils were determined not to let St. Thomas erase their lead, and quickly doubled down when Josh Doan set up linemate Colin Theisen for an easy tap-in at the edge of the crease just 1:30 after Dhooghe’s goal. At that point, ASU led 9-2 in shots and St. Thomas had only managed to cross the red line on a couple of occasions. The Tommies would get two power plays late in the period but failed to manage any threatening chances on either and the score remained 2-0 heading into the break.
“I thought our first ten minutes were unbelievable,” Powers said. “I thought it was our best ten minutes of the season. You could feel our guys were ready to play tonight.”
Theisen scored again just 32 seconds into the second period, and at that point, it appeared that ASU would run away with the game. St. Thomas, however, had other plans. The Tommies went back to the power play just 17 seconds after Theisen’s 3-0 goal, which seemed to give them an infusion of energy that they lacked in the first period. St. Thomas progressively ate into ASU’s advantage in shots until the 7:55 mark, when ASU freshman forward Jack Jensen was assessed a major penalty for a hit to the head of St. Thomas’ Trevor Ledonne. The Tommies scored 36 seconds into the power play, when a Christiano Versich wrist shot trickled through Brady and narrowly crossed the goal line, but the Sun Devils were able to prevent further damage and killed off the rest of the penalty.
In fact, the Sun Devils were so successful at killing the major penalty that they decided to do it all over again. Less than three minutes after the end of Jensen’s major, Tim Theocharidis earned one of his own on a very similar hit to the head of St. Thomas’ Matthew Jennings. This time, ASU escaped unscathed, and even managed to generate a few 2-on-1 opportunities shorthanded. Ultimately though, they failed to capitalize and carried their 3-1 lead into the second intermission.
“We just put pressure on them,” Theisen said. “We made them panic and when they did, we jumped on loose pucks.”
The third period had little in the way of excitement compared to the first forty minutes of play. St. Thomas continued to press, but ASU mostly held the Tommies to harmless shots from the perimeter that Brady saved with ease. St. Thomas sent Berger to the bench for an extra skater with 3:54 left in regulation, and Theisen scored his hat-trick goal shortly afterward. The Tommies would add another goal with 43 seconds remaining, but it had little effect other than diminishing Brady’s save percentage and embellishing the final score.
As a result of Saturday’s win, the Sun Devils find themselves comfortably above .500 for the first time all season. ASU will have a week off before traveling to Quinnipiac on Nov. 12 and 13, where it will look to extend its winning streak to five games.
“We’ve won five of six games,” Powers said. “We have a ton of confidence and we’ve been a really disciplined team all year. This isn’t going to make us an undisciplined team. It’s a good lesson.”

nnnindonesia.blogspot.com MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. -- The Central Michigan volleyball team advanced its win streak to two with an emotional four-set victory over Buffalo on Saturday in McGuirk Arena.
The Chippewas, who defeated Akron in four sets at home on Friday, improved to 11-14, 5-9 Mid-American Conference. Buffalo fell to 11-14, 4-9.
CMU is set to take to the road again and play at Ball State on Thursday and Friday, Nov. 4-5 (6:30 p.m.) in Muncie, Ind. The Cardinals on Friday handed previously undefeated Bowling Green its first MAC loss as they downed the Falcons in straight sets.
"I'm super pumped," said outside hitter Anna Erickson. "We needed to turn this weekend around and get a couple wins at home and we did that. I'm super proud of the team and we pulled out a couple good wins."
Erickson delivered 13 kills on 28 attempts for a .429 hitting percentage against the Bulls.
The Chippewas found a rocket start to set one, grabbing the lead early and maintaining it through to a 25-18 win. CMU completed set one with a .342 hitting percentage while holding Buffalo to .171.
The second set followed a similar script. The Chippewas kept their foot on the gas and left the Bulls in the dust, claiming the set at 25-20.
Buffalo shut down the sweep opportunity with a 25-20 third set win, keeping the Chippewas on their toes and capitalizing off CMU attack errors to string points together between kills.
"We came out of the gates alright, and all of a sudden we found ourselves tied at eight after a run, and then Buffalo just started trading two-for-ones and three-for-ones at the service line, and all of a sudden we're trailing by a boatload of points," CMU coach Mike Gawlik said. "We went a little stale offensively and a little stale defensively in that third set."
The Chippewas completed the victory in an intense fourth set, 25-23, having sat neck-and-neck with the Bulls for most of the set. To help aid the Chippewas in the bounceback, Gawlik utilized veteran Megan Sivertsen and freshman Krystina Kasson in the set. Kasson and Sivertsen delivered two and three kills respectively, as well as a block apiece in the set.
"The energy and the spark that it provides when you come off the bench and do that," Gawlik said. "Your teammates get genuinely excited for you, and I think that helped galvanize the group and re-energize our focus there."

VICTORIA, Kan. (Catch it Kansas) - A healthy Chesney Peterson is a dangerous one. The Stanton County junior was headed for a state title as a freshman before a medical issue cost her the championship. She’s been undefeated since. Saturday in Victoria, Peterson cruised to her second-straight individual Class 2A title, and the Lady Trojans won their third-straight championship.
“I was super excited just to hear my team won this year,” Peterson said. “I have a brand new team so it almost meant way more to me just to be able to run with girls who have never ran before this year.”
After a 35-point win in 2020, the Lady Trojans needed every spot Saturday. Stanton County’s 84 points were just three positions better than second-place Remington. Sacred Heart grabbed the final team hardware by 11 points with 88.
“We knew there were a lot of teams competing for the top spot so we were all just going to give our best effort, both the guys and the girls, and hope to both get the win.”
Peterson again led start to finish, running her best time of the season to win by 51 seconds in 18:38.8. Wabaunsee’s Payton Wurtz grabbed the silver in 19:29.9, and West Elk’s Josie Ware picked up the bronze by 18 seconds in 19:41.1.
“I expected it to be Josie Ware,” Peterson said of her competition. “I don’t know a lot about all these girls so I was just open minded. I almost preferred to not know who I was competing against because then you’re not intimidated.”
Suzanna Farnham ran sixth overall for the Lady Trojans in 20:04.7, just 0.3 seconds from a top-five finish. Kenzington Nairn ran just 0.1 seconds ahead of Remington’s Ava Klaassen for 31st in 21:45.1. Kourtney Hudgens placed 43rd in 22:09.9, and Lexi Martinez finished 16 seconds ahead of Remington’s Macy Brown for the final team points in 56th with a time of 22:47.8.
Remington’s Ellie Van Zelfden paced her squad in fourth overall with a time of 19:59.5. Lucy Brown placed 11th in 20:21.9, eight seconds from a top-10 finish. Klaassen ran 32nd for the Lady Broncs, Alli Willour finished 36th in 21:55.5, and Macy Brown scored the final team points in 36th.

After winning the Class 2A title in 2019, the Trojan boys had to settle for second place last fall behind Berean Academy. Saturday Stanton County senior Kamryn Golub won the individual title to lead his team with 71 points. Berean finished second with 118 points, and McLouth edged Kansas City Christian by just four spots for the final team trophy with 122 points.
Golub put together a dominating performance to win regionals. Saturday he repeated the feat, leading from the start to win by 20 seconds in 16:08.0.
“It is a goal so yes I did expect to win,” he said. “I didn’t know I had it until I did have it because you never know until the race is over.”
With few close title races on the day, Golub went hard to the finish line, crossing in obvious pain. Mission Valley’s Alfonso Rubio won the silver in 16:28.3, and Sacred Heart’s Braden Wells ran third in 16:42.1.
“I try to push as hard as I humanly can,” said Golub.
With three non-team scorers in the top 10, Stanton County grabbed the top-two team placings behind Golub and Spencer Schmidt, who finished fourth overall in 16:48.4. Ryan Wenman rounded out the top-10 in 17:03.2. Uziel Carrasco placed 42nd in 18:14.0, and Colton Adams ran 44th in 18:18.5 for the final team points.
Berean’s scorers finished further down the pack. Eli Nord and Andrew Harder each crossed in 17:03.3 for 11th and 12th, respectively, just 0.1 seconds from top-10 finishes. Trevor Nusz placed 41st in 18:12.8, Isaac Snook finished 51st in 18:30.9, and Zechariah Richards capped scoring in 18:39.0 for 53rd. Elias Simkins finished nine seconds behind Richards for 54th.

It was anybody's game Saturday afternoon at TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville, Fla. And then, after a couple of dramatic minutes late in the first half, it wasn't.
With a series of spectacular, game-changing plays in the final 2 minutes 35 seconds of the second quarter, top-ranked Georgia went from leading Florida 3-0 to taking a 24-0 lead into halftime.
"It was a complete momentum change. It was 3-0 until that happened and then we scored a lot of points," said Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett, who hit Kearis Jackson for a 36-yard touchdown during that late surge in the second.
The Bulldogs went on to win 34-7, improving to 8-0 overall and 6-0 in the SEC, and it was the series of plays Georgia's offense and defense made in those 155 seconds that turned a nail-biter into a 27-point victory over the Gators (4-4, 2-4).
After a scoreless first quarter, Georgia went up 3-0 on a Jack Podlesny field goal midway through the second. After stopping the Gators on 4th-and-13 at the Georgia 34-yard line, Bennett hit Darnell Washington for a 32-yard gain. But on the next play his deep ball was intercepted and Florida took over at its 2.
Gator quarterback Anthony Richardson ran for no gain on first down and on second he ran into a pack of Bulldogs near the 10. In that pack was linebacker Nolan Smith, who managed to pry the ball from Richardson's arms, giving Georgia a first down at the Florida 11.
On the next play, James Cook burst through a hole in the line and ran the ball in for an 11-yard score and 10-0 lead with 2:16 to play in the half. It was the Bulldogs' fourth one-play scoring drive of the season, and the fifth would come soon after.
Florida's ensuing drive began with another Richardson keeper for no gain. And on second down, with Bulldog linebacker Nakobe Dean bearing down on him, Richardson's pass over the middle was tipped by linebacker Travon Walker and intercepted by Smith.
The Georgia offense ran back out, first down at the Gator 36, and Bennett opted to go for it all right away. He faked a handoff, saw Jackson was one-on-one with a safety, and lofted a pass into the back left corner of the end zone. Jackson got separation from the defender and managed to get his left leg down as he pulled the ball in for the touchdown with 1:35 to play in the half.
"Kearis beat him and I just put it up there," Bennett said.
The momentum had clearly swung Georgia's way, with the defense making big plays and the offense responding with more of their own. And the Bulldogs weren't done.
Florida got a couple of first downs on its next drive before Richardson tried to throw a short pass out wide to the right side. Dean jumped in front of the receiver, intercepting the pass at midfield, and raced up the sideline for the Bulldogs' third score in a little more than two minutes. Podnesly's extra point made it 24-0 with 7 seconds to play in the half.
"They (the defense) came out, they got us turnovers, and we capitalized on those turnovers. And that's what we had to do," Bennett said. "Nakobe getting that pick-6 at the end, that was the icing on the cake for the first half."
Coach Kirby Smart said Dean has "worked hard on his coverage out in space," and it showed. It was a one-on-one situation and Dean made the play, scoring the first touchdown of the junior's career.
"The quarterback probably wasn't supposed to throw it there, but it was off coverage," Smart said. "He fired it out there and Nakobe broke on it, and it was probably the play of the game there."
Georgia led 3-0 when Florida picked off the Bennett pass with 3:11 to play in the half. By the time Dean was wearing the Bulldogs' celebratory "SAVAGE" shoulder pads on the sideline after his interception return for a touchdown, he was cheering on the bench in front of the Redcoat Marching Band which was waiting to perform at halftime.
The Bulldog offense had an up-and-down day, with Bennett finishing 10 of 19 passing for 161 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions. Georgia rushed for 193 yards. led by Zamir White's 105 yards on 14 carries, including a 42-yard touchdown scamper in the final minutes. It was the first 100-yard game by a Georgia back this season.
At the end of another stellar defensive performance by the Bulldogs, which held Florida scoreless until late in the fourth quarter, only the fifth touchdown the unit has allowed all season, Georgia had forced three turnovers, all of them leading to touchdowns.
"That changed the game," Smart said of the plays before halftime. "That momentum right before the half was just huge. It's what our guys do: they are havoc guys that cause problems, frustrate the quarterback, and try to find different ways to affect the quarterback. Those turnovers are so big."

After years of having to use a detour, the new bridge will keep people on the nature trail.
Currently, bridge assembly is taking place onsite, and the full bridge is being pushed across the river in two phases.
According to the institute, the $2.1 million project is funded primarily through a grant from the Federal Highway Administration along with VMI funds and funds from local municipalities.
The project began in December 2020 and is expected to be completed in November.
The Chessie Nature Trail is a seven-mile, year-round public access walking trail between Lexington and Buena Vista, located along the former Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad right of way.
Another semi-blah week of marquee matchups so we’ll go with these AFC South rivals already playing for the second time. The Titans, behind MVP candidate Derrick Henry, are a one-point favorite. But the Colts will complete their climb out of an 0-3 hole.
Colts 23, Titans 20
Lock of the week
Dallas at Minnesota
Both teams had Week 7 byes and the Cowboys (five consecutive wins) are a 2 1/2-point road favorite. Dallas is averaging a whopping 460.8 yards and 34.2 points per game and the Vikings’ offense (24.5 points per game) won’t be able to keep pace.
Cowboys 34, Vikings 24
Upset of the week
Philadelphia at Detroit
I might as well keep picking the Lions as our upset special until they actually pull it off. The NFL’s only winless team, Detroit is a three-point home underdog to the nearly-as-awful Eagles. Philadelphia should give Gardner Minshew a shot at quarterback.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (15) is helped up by guard Mike Remmers (75) in the second half of an NFL football game against the Tennessee Titans Sunday, Oct. 24, 2021, in Nashville, Tenn.
Chiefs own No. 1 enemy. Kansas City will wake up soon, right? I thought the Chiefs were OK after winning at Philadelphia in Week 4 … but they lost at home to Buffalo by 18. I thought the Chiefs were OK after winning at Washington in Week 6 … but they were routed at Tennessee by 24. The three points against the Titans were the fewest of the Andy Reid Era (hired in 2013) and only the third time in single digits. One statistic jumps off the page: The Chiefs (3-4) are tied with Jacksonville for worst turnover differential (minus-10). Quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ nine interceptions are more than his full seasons in 2019-20 (five and six, respectively) and are tied with New York Jets rookie Zach Wilson for most in the league. The Chiefs host the Giants on Monday night.
Buying Cincinnati stock. We are believers in the Bengals. Their first four wins were against Minnesota, Pittsburgh, Jacksonville and Detroit — current combined record of 7-18 (no winning records). But then came the Bengals’ 41-17 romp at Baltimore. Cincinnati is 5-2; it won six games total in 2019-20. The Bengals have premier offensive players in quarterback Joe Burrow (108.9 rating), receiver Ja’Marr Chase (21.5 yards catch and five touchdowns) and running back Joe Mixon (539 yards). The Bengals play at the Mike White-led Jets Sunday.
Dolphins confirming doubts. In our preview magazine last month, I tabbed Miami as the league’s most disappointing team. Miami won at New England in Week 1 due to a late Patriots red zone fumble and has lost six straight since, a mix of close (three, three and two points) and blowout (35, 10 and 28 points) losses. Miami has been outscored 64-9 (!) in the second quarter.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts (8) makes a catch, defended by Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard (25), center, and Miami Dolphins free safety Jevon Holland (8), during the second half of an NFL football game, Sunday, Oct. 24, 2021, in Miami Gardens, Fla.
Pitts becoming elite. Atlanta tight end Kyle Pitts’ catches-yards-touchdowns in the first four games — 15/189/0. Pitts’ production in the last two games — 16/282/1. That’s why the Falcons drafted Pitts fourth overall. His 163 yards in last week’s win over Miami were fourth-most by a rookie tight end in a single game and he is the second rookie tight end to have consecutive 100-yard receiving games, joining Raymond Chester in 1970. The Falcons (3-3) have won three of their last four and host collapsing Carolina (3-4 after a 3-0 start) on Sunday.
Now what for Seattle. Terrific candor from Seahawks coach Pete Carroll after his team’s Monday night snooze-fest/loss to New Orleans dropped Seattle to 2-5 (and 0-3 at home). Life without injured quarterback Russell Wilson is 0-2. “I’ve been here a long time and if we didn’t have Russell, I probably wouldn’t have been here a long time,” Carroll said. “Think of all the magic he’s created through the years.” Carroll isn’t wrong. Wilson has been the linchpin for the Seahawks since 2012 and he covered up all kind of offensive line and defensive deficiencies. Geno Smith can’t do that.
49ers’ struggling. The headline in Tuesday’s San Francisco Chronicle: “The honeymoon is over.” A discouraging start for coach/Denver native Kyle Shanahan and general manager/former Broncos safety John Lynch. The 49ers are 2-4 (0-3 at home), having lost four consecutive games. Hurry up and get healthy, Trey Lance. Credit to Shanahan for pointing the thumb at himself a day after the Sunday night loss to Indianapolis, saying his play-calling has been inconsistent. The good news for San Francisco — it plays at Chicago Sunday, but then season-defining home games against Arizona and the Los Angeles Rams.

The incident was the latest in a series of clashes between ruling party leaders in public. (File)
Raipur:
A Congress leader was suspended from the party's primary membership after a fight broke out between him and a colleague on Saturday over vehicle parking at its state office in Raipur in Chhattisgarh.
State unit chief Mohan Markam as well as media persons were present when Sushil Sunny Agrawal, former secretary of Chhattisgarh Pradesh Congress Committee (CPCC), and CPCC general secretary Amarjeet Chawla brawled at Rajiv Bhavan, following which Mr Agrawal was suspended through an order issued by Ravi Ghosh, CPCC general secretary in charge (administration).
In a video of the fight, which went viral on social media, Mr Agrawal, who is also the chairperson of Chhattisgarh State Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board, can be seen charging at Mr Chawla in the presence of Mr Markam while some leaders are trying to settle the situation.
Party leaders said the altercation started after Mr Chawla asked the driver of a vehicle belonging to the CPCC treasurer, which was parked there, to shift as Mr Markam was about to reach there.
Meanwhile, Mr Agrawal allegedly started abusing Mr Chawla demanding why he was asking for the vehicle to be shifted and continued to do so even after Mr Markam arrived, they added.
Mr Agrawal and Mr Chawla could not be contacted for comments.
The incident was the latest in a series of clashes between ruling party leaders in public.
Last week, a clash took place between Congress leaders during a party convention in Jashpur district over a purported power sharing agreement between Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel and state health minister TS Singh Deo.
In another incident last month, a Congress unit in Bilaspur had demanded expulsion of a party MLA after he protested against the registration of a police case against a supporter of TS Singh Deo.
ANN ARBOR, MI -- An Ann Arbor couple spent 10 months travelling nearly 6,000 miles on river, bays and coasts around the eastern half of the United States, completing their journey in August.
Celeste and Tom Martin, both 63, completed America’s Great Loop, a circumnavigation of the eastern U.S. and part of Canada that includes the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, the New York State Canals, the Canadian Canals, the Great Lakes, inland rivers and the Gulf of Mexico.
A little more than 2,000 boats have completed the Great Loop since 1985, according to records from the America’s Great Loop Cruisers’ Association.
Celeste said she believes she is the first African-American woman to complete the journey. Kimberly Russo, the director of the AGLCA, said while the organization does not track ethnicity of its members, but that it “wouldn’t surprise me if that was correct.”
“We’ve always loved to travel — that used to be my whole profession,” said Celeste, who is a retired flight attendant. “We’re just a traveling family.”
Tom, who formerly worked as an engineer for Ford Motor Company, has been on previous sailing trips with friends.
The pair first heard about “loopers” at a presentation given at a boat show in Chicago. They had previously owned a pontoon and ski boat, but upgraded to a 42-foot-long, 16-foot-tall yacht for their trip.
After purchasing their boat in Kentucky and being trained in navigation, the couple set sail on Nov. 9, 2020. They rented out the lower half of their house while they were away. Their youngest child is currently in college, which partially prompted their decision to travel.
“Empty-nesters,” said Celeste. “Why not?”
They took a counter-clockwise route, traveling from Kentucky downward to the Gulf of Mexico, near Florida and back toward New York. They then went through the Great Lakes into Detroit and Chicago before returning to Kentucky. Although the trip can include a Canadian segment, Celeste and Tom stayed in the United States due to ongoing pandemic restrictions.
With a trip through Canada, most “loopers” hit 6,000 miles by boat. Because they stayed in the U.S., Celeste and Tom traveled 5,600 miles.
The couple also took several side trips inland, renting cars while docked. They spent roughly a month each in Pensacola and St. Augustine, Florida, and Port Clinton, Ohio. They also spent a week in Detroit and Mackinac City, Michigan.
During their time in New York, the couple anchored near the Statue of Liberty, where Tom could see Ellis Island, where his great-grandfather arrived in the U.S.
The trip was not without is faults, though.
“It is boring going down the Mississippi River,” Celeste said. “It’s so boring.”
Tom agreed.
“The prettiest, clearest water I saw the whole trip was the lakes here [in Michigan],” Tom said.
The couple also spent some time trapped in New York, after Lock 17 into the Eerie Canal became stuck.
For Tom, one of the most difficult parts of the trip was predicting and dealing with weather conditions.
“I had all these worries about everything. I really enjoyed when I got to stay in one place for a while,” Tom said.
Being a part of the association helped Celeste and Tom recognize and meet other “loopers” on their journey. Boats flying a white flag are on their first trip around, while those with a gold flag have done it before.
Boats that complete the journey are given a gold flag once they “cross their wake,” meaning they cross the spot from which they started.
Celeste and Tom crossed their wake in Barley Lake in Kentucky at noon on Aug. 1, just 10 months after they left. Thirty minutes after they docked in Kentucky, someone made an offer on their boat. Two weeks later, it was sold.
“And it’s back on the loop again,” Celeste said.
Celeste said being on the trip taught her she could live with fewer things. Once she arrived back home, she gave away many of her possessions.
“Goodwill is very happy,” she said.
Tom said the journey taught him about dealing with fear to achieve something great.
“You can overcome all your fears,” he said.
The couple has plans to purchase another boat and take up part-time residence in Florida.
“It is the greatest trip you’ll work for,” Celeste said.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - Alex Murdaugh is facing more lawsuits this week as his brother and former law firm colleague look to get more than half-a-million dollars back which the two men say is owed to them from various loans.
According to court records filed this week, Murdaugh owes the money to his brother Randolph Murdaugh and John E. Parker, both of whom are lawyers with Alex’s former law firm.
Randolph Murdaugh filed his suit on Thursday and says his brother owes him $46,500. The suit states that this past September Alex asked Randolph for a loan to cover an overdrawn bank account, and said he had already written other checks including checks to workers which made his account more overdrawn.
Lawyers said that at the time Alex did not tell his brother that he was in “poor financial condition.”
Randolph said Alex requested $75,000 which Randolph deposited into Alex’s checking account. Court records state that Randolph expected that Alex would repay the $75,000 in 30 days, but that money has yet to be repaid.
In addition, Randolph also transported Alex to a rehabilitation center, however he said in order to get Alex treatment, Alex asked Randolph to pay for the initial treatment which came out to $15,000. Randolph said he wrote a check for the amount and has not been reimbursed.
Court filings state Alex’s son, Buster began selling his father’s assets to pay off debts, and sold a tractor and a rotary cutter to Randolph in exchange for cancelling about $43,000 of money owed by Alex.
John E. Parker’s suit was filed on Friday and claims that Murdaugh owes him $477,000, and that the money was loaned to Murdaugh this past year in three installments.
According to Parker, he loaned $150,000 to Murdaugh in March of this year, $77,000 in May, and $250,000 in July.
Judge hears arguments on who should control Murdaugh’s money
Earlier on Friday in Chesterfield County, attorneys involved in three different civil cases related to the Murdaugh family asked a judge to issue a temporary injunction to prevent wasting of money and appoint an independent receiver.
Mark Tinsely, the lawyer representing the family of Mallory Beach, spoke in front of a judge today. He claims he hasn’t been able to get bank account information, insurance polices, or other information about Murdaugh’s assets since the 2019 fatal boat crash that took Beach’s life.
Circuit Judge Daniel Hall said he will issue a ruling next week on Mark Tinsley’s motion.
Joe McCulloch who represents Conner Cook, a passenger on the boat, and Eric Bland, who represents the Murdaugh’s former housekeeper Gloria Satterfield’s family, say they have both filed motions but were not heard in front of Judge Hall on Friday.
There’s no word yet on when or where the other two hearings will be.

A church in Atascadero that was converted into a transitional homeless shelter a few years ago recently got a much-needed upgrade.
Wendy Lewis is president and CEO of El Camino Homeless Organization, also known as ECHO. She said prior to the modern look and feel of the separated rooms, soft lighting, and vinyl floors, the building was a bit rough on the eyes.
“The floors here used to be from the 1970s," Lewis said. "And it just did not feel like we wanted it to feel.”
Through a partnership with People’s Self-Help Housing, ECHO was able to complete Americans with Disabilities Act upgrades, repaint the building, and add more privacy and bed space.
Lewis said prior to the transformation, individuals slept in a large room that had curtains to separate spaces.
Now, there are more private living spaces, more rooms for families and a common area for computer and entertainment use.
It’s not the typical shelter people may envision, Lewis said.
“I often have people imagine that shelter of a big open space with just bed after bed," Lewis said. "And not like this home-like environment that we really strived to provide.”
Another big upgrade is the kitchen. What was once a small outdated church kitchen, has now been replaced with a full commercial-sized kitchen and large dining space.
Lewis said they plan to use the kitchen to help people gain skills for the food industry.
“So we would be able to provide restaurant training right out of this facility here," Lewis said. "To not only help the people we serve, but people that just need that next level of employment, so it would be open to the public.”
While ECHO’s project is done at the Atascadero shelter, it’s on to the next as plans to do something similar to the new shelter in Paso Robles are underway. The shelter in Paso was once a Motel 6.
“Right now it’s kind of an asphalt jungle," Lewis said. "And hopefully in about a year that will all be changed.”

Opposition members stood in solidarity Friday with Liberal MLA Angela Simmonds at Province House after learning she was the subject of racist comments by a political staffer.
On Friday, during members' statements at Province House, all Liberal MLAs and some New Democrats dedicated their statements to speaking in support of Simmonds, as well as the other Black MLAs in the House — Ali Duale, Suzy Hansen and Tony Ince.
Simmonds said she was overwhelmed and moved by the support of her colleagues.
"I have fought issues before, but it was the very first time in a long time where it was a family and I could just feel people's emotions forming," she told reporters at Province House.
"It was a complete privilege and honour to be standing there witnessing that."

While racism might not be regularly discussed on the floor of the legislature, Simmonds said current and past Black MLAs have been having these conversations and experiences. The conversations need to keep happening, she said.
"We need to be comfortable in our discomfort," Simmonds said. "Saying, 'We acknowledge it and we care,' is not enough.
"It is not enough because we were elected officials to be here and it is not OK to say that we are going to do better. We need to see that we're doing better."
Hansen, the NDP member for Halifax Needham, said it's one thing for conversations to happen inside the chamber, but she said those conversations also need to happen in smaller groups among MLAs.
"We need to have some heart-to-heart conversations, to be uncomfortable, to feel that, but also to share," she told reporters.
"And we need to do that in a space that's going to be safe for everyone."
Premier Tim Houston said his government is working on an anti-racism piece of legislation. (Robert Short/CBC)
The premier told reporters that much work remains to fight racism in the province and his government is committed to doing its part.
"There's a lot of initiatives, many initiatives that had already been started by the previous government through the Office of Equity and Anti-Racism. We support those strongly and we'll continue to do as much as possible to fight racism in this province," said Houston.
Simmonds and the Liberals have argued the situation that played out Thursday illustrates the need for a bill they've put forward that would define racism and hate, and create an action plan to remove it from government departments and Crown corporations.
Duale announced that beginning Tuesday, as a form of protest, he will not take his seat in the House during the fall sitting unless that bill is passed.
The Halifax-Armdale MLA said the bill was the key reason he entered politics, and a legislature that cannot support such a bill cannot be considered the people's House.

"If these things are taking place inside this House, do you think the community is safe? If this happens [to] one of us, do you think anybody is safe? And if this is ignored, do you think we believe there is justice, fairness and human rights? I don't think so, and that's why I'm making this decision," said Duale.
Rankin said he supports Duale's protest.
Houston said he backs the intent of the Liberals' bill, but said something similar is already being drafted by the Office of Equity and Anti-Racism. While he doesn't think it will be ready in time for this sitting, the premier said it would marry elements of the Liberal bill and he's willing to work with them.
"We just need to make sure that we do the work to get it right [before] we move forward," said Houston.

A Cardiff, Great Britain attorney, Kevin Stewart Farquharson, was convicted earlier this year for a 2019 sexual assault. He was sentenced to six months’ jail time, suspended for 18 months. But that is not the end of the consequences for the now former attorney.
The Bar Tribunals and Adjudication Service (BTAS) has disbarred Farquharson, not only due to the sexual assault, but for later asking his victim as well as a colleague to lie about what happened. As reported by Legal Cheek:
The Bar Tribunals and Adjudication Service (BTAS) found that Farquharson, who was called to the bar in 2011, sent a text message to his victim asking her to respond to a future message from him with a scripted response he had prepared. This prepared response was “not a truthful account” of the events on the day of the assault, according to the published finding.
The tribunal further found that Farquharson had subsequently sent a message to another barrister asking them to “lie about the events” at the time of the assault.
The BTAS found Farquharson’s actions were likely to diminish the trust and confidence which the public places in the profession. A spokesperson said:
“Mr Farquharson’s conduct of sexually assaulting another person and then making dishonest efforts to conceal it is clearly incompatible with the standards expected by the public from barristers. The tribunal’s decision to disbar him reflects this.”
The disbarment decision is subject to appeal.

This past weekend, the Dartmouth Outing Club organized the Fifty, a challenge that requires hikers to trek 50 miles from the Moosilauke Ravine Lodge to Hanover in just over 24 hours. Katie Gregoire ’23, one of three coordinators for the Fifty, said that the course follows the Appalachian Trail from Mount Moosilauke to the Green and takes most people around 26 hours.
According to Gregoire, groups not only hike over Mount Moosilauke but also Mount Cube, Smarts Mountain, Mount Mist, Holt’s Ledge and Moose Mountain, occasionally encountering five support stations located every six to ten miles. At the end of the challenge, groups touch the DOC sign outside of Robinson Hall, officially completing their journeys.
The support stations ensured that hikers were physically and mentally able to continue and administered first aid for injuries like blisters. They also provided hikers with food and water and a place to drop off personal items like changes in clothes, according to Gregoire.
“The aid stations in particular are really motivating because people are so excited to see you and there’s music and celebration,” said Sarah Hutchinson ’22, who successfully completed the Fifty this past weekend alongside everyone in her group.
This year, eight groups of four people participated in the challenge, Gregoire said. Of the 32 people total who started the challenge, only 13 successfully completed it.
The competition to participate in the Fifty this year was steep, with 44 groups — each of four people — vying for the 8 spots that were awarded on the basis of a lottery system. According to Gregoire, the lottery is weighted in favor of seniors and those who have previously volunteered to staff support stations along the way. However, everyone on campus was eligible, and members of every class year participated.
Gregoire said they were involved in organizing both the fall and summer treks, noting that the fall Fifty ran “smoother” than the summer’s. However, Gregoire added that the conditions of the fall Fifty proved challenging, saying that the fall is a lot “colder and wetter” than the summer.
Nicole Ward ’25, who participated in the Fifty this past weekend, said that her group was in “really high spirits” at the onset of their hike, but soon ran into issues with the weather.
“I didn’t really feel the cold when I was hiking, but any time I stopped, I was literally freezing,” Ward said.
Connor Seeley ’22, who completed the Fifty this past summer, said that completing the challenge was a goal of his before even attending Dartmouth.
“It’s this crazy goal that you can set for yourself, and it’s the only time in your life probably where you’re going to have a team ready to support you to do it,” Seeley said. “It feels like if you don’t do it now, you never will.”
He added that he was glad he did it in the summer instead of the fall, citing the cold.
Participants also reported facing the emotional challenges associated with the long hike. Ward said she hallucinated on the way up Mount Cube.
“I would imagine the small rocks were dogs, and the big rocks were, like, women,” Ward said.
Hutchinson said that her experience as a volunteer for the Fifty during summer term was a major reason why she chose to participate in the Fifty this fall.
“After feeling the energy of the hikers, I decided I wanted to hike it myself,” Hutchinson said.
Volunteer supporter Grace Hillery ’25 said the fall Fifty was a “great experience.”
“The Fifty is the iconic Dartmouth tradition and I wanted to help support it, as well as get support points so that I can do the Fifty in the future,” Hillery said. She added that she wanted to participate this fall but wasn’t selected in the lottery.
Not everyone was able to complete the Fifty this fall. According to Gregoire, some people voluntarily elected not to continue, but most failed to reach time cutoffs — meaning they didn’t arrive at support stations in the time allotted. Gregoire said that the Fifty is inherently risky, and the DOC does not allow hikers to continue into a second night due to the “unacceptable level of risk” involved.
Ward, whose group got lost during the Fifty, described the experience as “dramatic.” She said that her group was hiking up Moose Mountain when she encountered difficulties.
“I passed out,” Ward said. “My vision went black.”
Ward said that she and another group member were “in so much pain” that the other two group members had to navigate.
“We got completely lost and completely off trail,” Ward said. “We have no service and we cannot find our way back on the Appalachian Trail.”
Ward said they were eventually able to get in contact with Gregoire after receiving help from a local hunter.
According to Gregoire, groups getting lost “happens every term.” Gregoire added that all teams receive a packet with maps for all sections of the Appalachian Trail and directions that indicate where all the turn offs are, but it is up to the individual groups to train and prepare for the challenge, adding that they are preparing more formal training recommendations.
“I believe that if you’re going to hike the Fifty, it is smart to have section-hiked all of those parts before,” Gregoire said.
Seeley said it was helpful that his group hiked most of the sections of the trek on their own to prepare.
“We wanted to know what it was going to be like out there,” Seeley said.
