JACKSON – This week it’s the 800 where a lot of the best times were being posted. The Interstate 8 meet alone gave us two of this week’s top five, with Lumen Christi’s Madison Osterberg and Western’s Alyna Lewis posting new season-bests. Each athlete puts up their best marks in each event over the course of the season and we keep track of the best so far. If someone comes along with a better time, distance or height, that spot on the leaderboard changes hands. Each athlete’s best time so far this season counts and we figure out whose best is the best so far.

Striker's signs are gathered near Bath Iron Works, Wednesday, July 22, 2020, in Bath, Maine. Bath Iron Works, a subsidiary of General Dynamics, builds guided-missile destroyers for the U.S. Navy. Bath Iron Works was already six months behind before the strike, partly because of the pandemic, officials said. Bath Iron Works lost that contract to another shipyard in 2016. The shipyard, a major employer in Maine with 6,800 workers, has been undergoing a transition as aging workers reach retirement.

(CNN) - Pizza chain Domino's has spent 7 million ($8.5 million) to stockpile imported ingredients that might not be available if Britain crashes out of the European Union. The UK arm of the American fast food company said in an earnings statement on Tuesday that a disorderly Brexit "carries the increased risk of disruption to raw material supplies." The company imports about a third of its supplies from outside Britain including tomato sauce, frozen chicken, pineapple and tuna. "We expect the increased inventory level related to Brexit to be maintained into 2020," the company added. The British government has been working on preparedness plans in an attempt to minimize shortages following a disorderly Brexit, and has sought to assuage public fears of disruption.
