The new policy, approved by the California Air Resources Board, will require all new cars sold in California to be free of greenhouse gas emissions by 2035 as part of an effort to fight climate change. But with a heat wave forecast for the coming days, California’s grid operator on Tuesday warned that the excessive heat would stress the energy grid and conservation may be needed over the holiday weekend to avert power outages....

There have been repeated calls to kick Russia out the G20 since the start of Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine in February. Two weeks before the bloc meets in Bali, Indonesia, starting November 15, Ukrainian foreign ministry spokesperson Oleg Nikolenko tweeted that “missile strikes on Ukrainian civilians and energy infrastructure,” should preclude the attendance or any Russian representatives at the summit. “With his hands stained in blood, he must not be allowed to sit at the table with world leaders....

Sorting out the choices can make you long for the days of simple black rotary phones. But you don’t want to go there. Old Ma Bell, a smug, regulated monopoly, fought the rise of cheaper phones. Since competition opened the field, the real cost of local, basic service has dropped by 11 percent, reports the Federal Communications Commission. It could well drop faster, thanks to a fundamental shift in the way this business operates: phones no longer need phone wires to operate and it’s not just cellular....

NFL Network reporter Tom Pelissero reported Tuesday morning that Cam Akers, a second-year running back out of Florida State, has torn his Achilles, an injury that could cause him to miss the entire 2021 campaign. Akers, who was drafted in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft, rushed for 625 rushing yards on 145 carries with two touchdowns, and added 123 receiving yards on 11 catches, including a touchdown, during his rookie season....

The 18-year Steelers quarterback has recently taken aim at NIL and the current NFL culture, saying the NFL has “It turned from a team-first to a me-type attitude. It was hard. It’s hard for these young guys, too. Social media. They’re treated so well in college,” according to Yahoo. Roethlisberger has had plenty to say as the season has ramped up. He added: “Now, this new NIL stuff, which is unbelievable....

Alabama running back Derrick Henry took home the 2015 Heisman Trophy on Saturday and it must’ve brought back a flood of memories for the current Panthers quarterback. Newton had some custom gold cleats made that pay homage to, well, himself and his 2010 Heisman-worthy campaign. The cleats are actually really dope. See for yourself.

The latest example came on Sunday in the third quarter of Carolina’s 30-20 win over the Cardinals. The Panthers quarterback had Cardinals defensive lineman Calais Campbell fall into his legs while in the pocket on a third-and-goal play from the 2-yard line. Newton’s right knee bent awkwardly, but no penalty was called. MORE: Cam Newton quiz: Lover or hater? “I’m speechless,” Newton said when asked about the play following the game....

During a recent interview with ESPN, the Panthers quarterback provided an update on his recovery from shoulder surgery and revealed he could even start throwing before training camp. “I’m feeling great now,” Newton said. “I feel like I do have full strength right now. But me telling the doctor, that is different than, you know, whatever the clearance process may be.” Newton underwent an arthroscopic procedure on his right shoulder in January after struggling last season....

Three years ago, Newton, known as a snappy dresser, signed a big apparel deal with Charlotte-based Belk Stores. The MADE Cam Newton clothing line is available at more than 130 Belk stores as well as the retailer’s online site. STEELE: What’s really going on in Carolina?

Coach Ron Rivera said quarterback Cam Newton and running backs DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart will play in the team’s second preseason game Aug. 17 against Kansas City. All three practiced Sunday after missing Carolina’s preseason opener against Buffalo. “I’m excited about getting these guys back on the football field,” Rivera said. That should help an offense that managed just 75 total yards in the first half of Carolina’s 20-18 loss to the Bills....

The 29-year-old, who will headline the first LIV Golf event in Australia next April, finished ahead of fellow Aussie Jason Scrivener and Japan’s Ryo Hisatsune at the conclusion of the event. Rain threatened to derail the final day of play at Royal Queensland, which would have seen the tournament’s final stages pushed to Monday, but it held off long enough for a result after multiple delays. Smith finished 14 under for the event, but had a few nervous moments in the final round after an 11th-hole bogey that sent him back to level scores with Scrivener and Hisatsune....

Last Thursday when Acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney said the Trump National Doral golf resort near Miami would host the 2020 international summit, he said the option of Camp David was a “miserable” location. After the announcement Thursday that Trump’s golf resort would host the G7, Democrats and some Republicans immediately said it was a conflict of interest. Saturday night in a tweet, President Trump said the resort would no longer host the resort, and a new place would be sought, including the secluded presidential retreat Camp David in Maryland....

Howard Dean. He wants to get rid of all of President George W. Bush’s nearly $2 trillion worth of tax cuts. But that means jettisoning cuts–in some cases, substantial ones–for middle-class families. Some high-ranking Dean insiders had predicted their man would propose his own menu of middle-class tax cuts. But in a speech last week, Dean stuck to his abolitionist stance. Aides had concluded he might be branded a flip-flopper....

On the campaign trail, hundreds of thousands have attended rallies to hear a message of change from Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, a 37-year-old who only decided to run after her husband, the popular blogger Sergei Tikhanovsky, was barred from registering as a candidate. Now the stand-in candidate has called on people to stand up. Her appearances at rallies alongside two other women connected with barred opposition figures, form a formidable feminine tableau at odds with the male-dominated Belarus ruling class headed by Alexander Lukashenko since 1994....

“The way it affected Coach physically, visually, resonated with our team,” Scooter Barry, a guard for that KU team, told Sporting News.

Clinton suffered another wave of dispiriting losses against Sen. Barack Obama. He beat her in Virginia 64 to 35 percent, in Maryland 61 to 35 percent and in the District of Columbia 75 to 24 percent, according to incomplete returns. These trouncings give Obama a perfect 8-0 record against Clinton in the primaries and caucuses held since Super Tuesday. He walks away with most of the 171 delegates that were at stake in the Potomac Primary and moves on to next Tuesday’s contests–Wisconsin and Hawaii–with a fresh jolt of momentum....

However, with states set to certify their electoral college votes and major news outlets calling the election for Biden, it looks increasingly unlikely that Trump will return to office for a second term. Trump’s refusal to concede and claims of election irregularities have caused some critics to suggest he will simply act as though he had won when his term expires, and even possibly hold an alternative inauguration. “Looks like we’re heading towards an Avignon Presidency....
