The health authority in P. E. I. says someone has gained unauthorized access to a file containing personal information belonging to as many as 234,000 people.

It may have taken a little less than a decade for the Northern Golf Association and Golf Ontario to work through the tedious process of mending fences and restoring trust, a journey that would lead to a critical partnership forged through a memorandum of understanding in 2018 to ensure the growth and prosperity of the sport in Northern Ontario. At the end of the day, that still allowed for the celebration of 90-plus very good years for the NGA — along with a challenging decade or so — in Sudbury last week. One hundred years were feted by many of the greatest names in Northern Ontario golf and their families, one and all gathering at the Idylwylde Golf and Country Club this past Thursday, on hand for the inaugural class of the Northern Ontario Golf Hall of Fame as part of the NGA centennial celebration.

As NASA prepared for Artemis II, the agency’s first crewed mission around the moon in more than half a century, teams across the organization generated streams of information – safety analyses, engineering reviews and mission data scattered across at least 10 separate sources. “We have so much open data, and it can sometimes be hard to find. It can be hard to connect to it,” says Anna Steers-Smith, the agency’s senior advisor on AI.

BUFFALO, N. Y. — Fall is packed with things to do in upstate, from concerts and festivals to sports games. But with the cost of tickets, parking, food and everything in between adding up, how are people deciding what's actually worth the money? The price tag for a night out can go well beyond the ticket itself and as consumers face higher costs in just about every part of their lives, experts say people are not necessarily giving up entertainment, they are instead becoming more strategic about where they spend their money.

Canada's former top military commander considered resigning "several times" during his tenure in battles with the former Trudeau government over the sexual misconduct scandal, and the lack of commitment towards defence spending. Retired general Wayne Eyre's new memoir, Into the Breach: A Soldier's Journey, also peels back the curtain on the internal debate that took place over how to end the convoy occupation of downtown Ottawa in early 2022. The prologue to the book, titled The Accidental CDS, is a tongue-in-cheek reference to his unusual, unexpected rise to the position of chief of the defence staff. Eyre was promoted from being army commander to the top job after now-retired admiral Art MacDonald stepped aside in February 2021 because of allegations of inappropriate behaviour. Those allegations never resulted in charges and MacDonald didn't return to the defence chief's job. Eyre was left to navigate the wider sexual misconduct scandal and a flurry of allegations which engulfed several high-ranking military leaders — an experience he described as "soul crushing. "He candidly writes about how, in the first few months, he often questioned whether he was up to the task.

Just 24 hours before the start of the NHL season, we finally have some clarity on the Winnipeg Jets’ goaltending situation.

Shares of Micron Technology (MU +2.96%) have surged 570% over the past year, as insatiable demand for memory and storage products has translated into terrific revenue and profit growth for the tech company. It's been able to raise prices due to a shortage of the products it sells. Micron's stock appears cheap to investors, but that also depends heavily on the outlook for the ongoing shortage. And according to Acer's CEO, Micron may not be able to count on price hikes for too much longer. Why the shortage may not last until 2030Acer CEO Jason Chen recently called into question the expectation that the ongoing shortage in memory products will continue until the end of the decade, and questioned whether price increases will be justifiable. Chen says that while some prices have been going up, others have been coming down. And that with China's production capacity increasing, fears of a shortage lasting until 2030 are overblown, and that companies are simply trying to protect their margins. For Micron investors, it's a concerning warning because, if it's true, it could undermine the very reason for investing in the company.

The Voice has made his mark on Brantford’s new $152-million Sports and Entertainment Centre. Glen O. Christensen was one of many fans of the Brantford Bulldogs who joined team officials and dignitaries for a steel-signing ceremony Friday at the facility’s construction site on Market Street South.

The defunct USA 32 (or Farrah III) satellite, which launched in 1988, broke apart without warning on Sept. 13, around 480 miles above Earth's surface. Experts are still unsure what caused this sudden fragmentation, how many pieces it created, or how the debris might impact other nearby spacecraft.

We speak with a grandma in Scotland who has earned a Guinness record for playing Fortnite. JUANA SUMMERS, HOST: Cath Bowie is a new Guinness World Record holder for Fortnite streaming. She is a 78-year-old grandmother in Scotland, and her record, according to Guinness, she is the oldest female Fortnite streamer. The online game is most popular among tweens and teens, but Bowie has been playing and streaming it on Twitch for nine years. She joins us now. Welcome to ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, Cath, and congratulations. CATH BOWIE: Thank you very much. I was just delighted with the accolade that I got. SUMMERS: How did you first get into Fortnite? BOWIE: So nine years ago, I had a 17-year-old grandson who, like all other 17-year-olds, played games on his PS4. I actually went into his room one day. He had been playing, by the way, you know, football games and car games, which really didn't interest me. So when I went into his room this day, I saw something completely different. And I was immediately taken with the game and intrigued with the game. SUMMERS: What was it that was so interesting about this game that got you hooked? BOWIE: It was just a challenge.

Every year on 28 September, the global community comes together to raise awareness about rabies elimination! This year’s World Rabies Day theme, “Stronger Together,” highlights a simple truth: rabies elimination is only possible when we work together. From local communities and veterinary professionals to governments, healthcare workers, educators, and global partners, we all have role to play in making a world free from rabies a reality. Rabies elimination depends on connected systems. Stronger partnerships create stronger outcomes! We all have a role to playCommunities: Communities are often the first line of defense against rabies. Education, awareness, and responsible animal care help prevent cases before they happen. Veterinary Professionals: Mass dog vaccination remains the most effective way to stop rabies at its source. Healthcare Workers: Timely treatment and accurate diagnosis save lives.

1Q1A – where we ask one question and an expert gives one answer The idea of a machine surpassing human intelligence across virtually every intellectual domain once seemed relegated to the realm of science fiction. Today, artificial superintelligence is the subject of serious debate among researchers, though there is little agreement about whether – or when – it will emerge.

Chris Towers unveils his first 2027 rankings, with plenty of surprises and difficult decisions across every position We've got 198 days until next year's Opening Day. Ish. Maybe. Okay, let's address the elephant in the room. Look, we have no idea when the 2027 MLB season will happen. We don't know whether it will happen, even with ongoing labor negotiations inexorably leading toward a lockout. Whether that lockout will be resolved before games are lost (as in 2021) or whether we're staring down another 1994-95 situation remains to be seen. That question will hover over absolutely every discussion this offseason. But not here. At least, not yet. I'm going to address this here at the top of my first newsletter of the offseason, and then I'm going to proceed as if this is a normal offseason until I have good reason not to. Some of you are doomers who will comment, "The season isn't happening" on every discussion this offseason, and that's your right, but I'm going to keep approaching this offseason as if things are normal until they aren't. That means I'm going to have my first rankings for 2027 right here in today's newsletter.
