Pitt clamors for QB correction as Drake Maye, No. 17 UNC arrive
UNC (3-0) scored a dominant 31-13 home win over Minnesota last week, a showcase of sorts for ACC Preseason Player of the Year Drake Maye. Maye completed 29 of 40 passes for 414 yards and two touchdowns, and he also rushed 13 times for 34 yards. UNC is 7-1 all-time when Maye tops 300 yards through the air. However, Maye has also thrown four interceptions through three games this season after throwing just seven all of last year. Against WVU in the Backyard Brawl, Pitt quarterback Phil Jurkovec connected on just 8 of 20 passes for 81 yards and three interceptions.

Bangladesh's economy to grow slightly faster with global economic recovery: ADB
The slightly faster growth forecast reflects an improvement in domestic demand and better export growth due to economic recovery in the euro area. The current account deficit is expected to slightly narrow from 0.7% of GDP in FY2023 to 0.5% of GDP in FY2024 as remittance growth improves. "The government is managing relatively well against the external economic uncertainties, while advancing infrastructure development and critical reforms to improve investment climate," said ADB Country Director Edimon Ginting. Private investment, however, may be dampened by the initial higher interest rates following the enhancement in the country's monetary policy framework. In its 50-year partnership with Bangladesh, ADB has mobilized over $50 billion in loans and grants, including cofinancing, to improve infrastructure, public services and social development for the people of Bangladesh.

ExxonMobil, Saudi Aramco, CNPC believe energy demand will continue to grow
Chief Executive of US ExxonMobil Darren Woods said that as the world's economy continues to grow, that will drive energy demand higher. But he warned that it is difficult to replace today's energy system where oil consumption stands at approximately 100 million barrels per day. It will take time, and hopefully energy will continue to grow with much less emissions associated with it," he added. Saudi Aramco president and chief executive Amin Nasser said even during an economic slowdown in recent years and lasting until today in many countries, energy demand was rising. Hou Qijun, president of China National Petroleum Corporation, believed that it is very important to speed up the energy transition as demand continues to grow.

POVERTY WITH A VIEW: An update on Flagstaff's housing crisis
First, a summary of where things currently stand:Nearly three years after Flagstaff City Council declared an affordable housing emergency, housing costs are still high across the city while several local efforts to increase affordability are underway. In August, the median sales price of residential homes in Flagstaff was $700,000, according to the Northern Arizona Association of Realtors, an increase from August 2022's median price of $549,900. A housing gap analysis found the city needed an additional 7,976 market rate houses "to free up pressure on Flagstaff's housing stock and catch up with population growth." The housing plan’s main goals are to impact 6,000 or more low- to moderate-income residents, and to create or preserve 7,976 housing units by 2031 (7,178 market rate and 798 affordable units). An Aug. 14 update to its website shows that since Dec. 15, 2022, the plan has impacted 192 residents and created or preserved 689 market rate units and 108 affordable units, with another 201 units committed.

Spotlight on Climate: Fungi in our forests -- more than a tasty meal
Our research is now showing us the importance of that hidden body in helping trees survive the consequences of climate change. Our studies on pinyon pine show that some pinyons survive and grow during drought better than others. We are learning that different species of mycorrhizal fungi differ from one another in the ways that they can benefit plants. Thus, while the use of mycorrhizal fungi in restoration holds great promise, it is not one size fits all. Instead, it requires that we carefully match the plants and fungi we replant if we hope to restore ecosystems from the effects of climate change.
