MOSCOW (AP) — The head of Russia's space program said Saturday that the future of the International Space Station hangs in the balance after the United States, the European Union, and Canadian space agencies missed a deadline to meet Russian demands for lifting sanctions on Russian enterprises and hardware.
Dmitry Rogozin, the head of Roscosmos, told reporters that the state agency is preparing a report on the prospects of international cooperation at the station, to be presented to federal authorities “after Roscosmos has completed its analysis.”
Rogozin implied on Russian state TV that the Western sanctions, some of which predate Russia’s current military operations in Ukraine, could disrupt the operation of Russian spacecraft servicing the ISS with cargo flights. Russia also sends manned missions to the space station.
He stressed that the Western partners need the space station and “cannot manage without Russia, because no one but us can deliver fuel to the station.”
Rogozin added that “only the engines of our cargo craft are able to correct the ISS’s orbit, keeping it safe from space debris.”
Rogozin later Saturday wrote on his Telegram channel that he received responses from his Western counterparts vowing to promote “further cooperation on the ISS and its operations.”
He reiterated his view that “the restoration of normal relations between partners in the ISS and other joint (space) projects is possible only with the complete and unconditional lifting” of sanctions, which he referred to as illegal.
Space is one of the last remaining areas of cooperation between Moscow and Western nations. U.S.-Russian negotiations on the resumption of joint flights to the space station were underway when Russia launched its military operation in Ukraine last month, prompting unprecedented sanctions on Russian state-linked entities.
So far the U.S. and Russia are still cooperating in space. A NASA astronaut caught a Russian ride back to Earth on Wednesday after a U.S. record 355 days at the International Space Station, returning with two cosmonauts.
Mark Vande Hei landed in a Soyuz capsule in Kazakhstan alongside the Russian Space Agency’s Pyotr Dubrov, who also spent the past year in space, and Anton Shkaplerov. Wind blew the capsule onto its side following touchdown, and the trio emerged into the late afternoon sun one by one.
Vande Hei’s return followed customary procedures. A small NASA team of doctors and other staff was on hand for the touchdown and returned home immediately with the 55-year-old astronaut.

7 Metaverse Stocks That May Go Out of This WorldIf you're a bit confused about what the metaverse is, or will be. You're not alone. In fact as recently as November of 2021, many top tech executives, who have plans for the metaverse, struggled to define the metaverse.
One of the best descriptions I've heard is that the metaverse will be the Web 2.0. It will create the ability for participants to interact in an interactive world that combines virtual reality, augmented reality and video. It will be a world where you can visit digital representations of real homes and purchase digital representations of items in the real world.
However, even that seems too simplistic. The way it's described by Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg, it will be a world where your avatar can hang out with distant friends and family in a more realistic, albeit still virtual way. I hope it's not just me, but the whole concept leaves me feeling… disconnected. Which I know is strange because the whole point is connection.
However, many tech companies are pumping money into the metaverse, or at least their idea of it. And institutional investors are taking notice. That combination is almost always an indicator of stocks that are on their way higher.
That's the point of this article; to point you to seven companies that are likely to be significant players in the metaverse. And after a significant correction in the tech sector, it may be the perfect time to buy these stocks at a discount.

Nova Scotia’s QEII Health Sciences Centre has made the “difficult decision” to postpone most non-urgent and elective surgeries “due to an increasing number and acuity of patients with COVID-19 in hospital, combined with a growing number of staff off work.”
In an internal memo Friday, Nova Scotia Health said beginning Monday, surgeries at the QEII will be limited to day-surgery procedures, time-sensitive cancer and non-cancer same-day surgeries.
“We recognize this is incredibly challenging for our periop teams and for our patients, however, after careful consideration it is a necessary step to ensure sufficient inpatient bed capacity,” the memo said.
“Thank you for your ongoing cooperation and patience as we work through another challenging period in this pandemic.”
COVID-19 cases have been climbing since Nova Scotia lifted most COVID-19 restrictions last month, and hundreds of health-care workers have become infected.
As of Thursday, there were nearly 800 health-care employees off work because they either had tested positive for COVID-19, were awaiting test results or were exposed to a member of their household who tested positive.
According to the latest COVID-19 update on Thursday, an average of nearly 600 positive PCR tests are being reported in Nova Scotia every day.
This week, experts have said that Canada is heading towards a potential sixth COVID-19 wave this spring.

The agency also said an area where a prehistoric crocodile crossed a mud flat appeared to have been driven over multiple times by a backhoe, causing fracturing, the Salt Lake Tribune reported.
The site is considered among the most important dinosaur track areas in the nation, containing tracks from at least 10 different species.
The agency in the report said the project should be reevaluated, the area clearly marked and work crews briefed on where they can and can’t go.
The report also noted that the agency should fill a vacancy for a regional paleontologist that has been vacant since 2018.
“To ensure this does not happen again, we will follow the recommendations in the assessment, seek public input, and work with the paleontology community as we collectively move forward on constructing boardwalks at the interpretive site,” the agency said.
That revised report should be done this summer.
“It’s good that we stopped more damage from happening,” said Jeremy Roberts, among those who sought to have the Bureau of Land Management pause the project. “But this will continue to plague the state until we get a paleontologist.”

Twenty-three bus drivers in Delhi have been slapped with a fine of Rs 10,000 for violations in the last two days since the implementation of bus lane enforcement drive by the State Transport department, officials said on Saturday.
The drive enforces driving discipline in lanes exclusively reserved for buses and heavy vehicles. Heavy vehicles are not allowed to drive on other lanes and other vehicles are also not permitted to use the marked lanes.
“This is about a discipline that will benefit all of us. We are seeing a high degree of compliance on the road and this is for good," said Ashish Kundra, secretary-cum-commissioner (Transport) told CNN-News18.
As per the official figures, seven drivers on Friday and 16 on Saturday were fined for violating lane discipline respectively. They were penalised with Rs 10,000 each with a warning of prosecution if repeated.
The State Transport Department, in consultation with the Delhi Traffic Police and other stakeholders, had identified 46 major corridors for implementation of the drive. In the first phase for enforcement of lane discipline, the drive was conducted on 15 identified corridors. A total of 138 teams of the transport department are on the road to keep an eye on violations.
“This is a major initiative that is focusing on road safety in the national capital. We know that whenever there is a major shift, we learn and improve gradually. In this case, too, some people will have to reorient their working style and their road behaviour," said Kundra.
The Public Works Department has begun works on installing signages, and warning signs, marking bus lanes, painting bus boxes (thermoplastic), and removing encroachments, if any, on the selected corridors. The enforcement wing of the transport department, other than the teams on the field, is clubbing the geo-location of the violations and putting records of the violators.
“For private vehicles, currently, we are not putting any fine for wrong lane driving, but if your car is parked in the bus lane, it will be towed away, and you will be penalized," said Kundra.

Spanish conservatives tap veteran Núñez Feijóo as new leader
Spain’s main opposition party has appointed a veteran conservative politician as its new chief to turn a page on an ugly internal clash that precipitated the fall of a once-promising young leader and infused new life into far-right rivals.
Popular Party members on Saturday elected Alberto Núñez Feijóo, the regional chief of the northwest Galicia region, as their president, tasking him to lead the center-right party’s bid to unseat Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.
The vote took place during a two-day party congress in the southern city of Seville. Feijóo ran unopposed.
Sánchez has led a left-to-center coalition since early 2020 and has said that he intends to rule through his current term, which lasts until late 2023.
Feijóo is a 60-year-old former civil servant who has won four consecutive regional elections in Galicia, a stronghold for the Popular Party. He is regarded as the consensus figure needed to restore peace quickly in conservative ranks after Pablo Casado’s ugly fall from the party’s presidency.
Casado, 41, rose to the top party job promising a clean slate after a series of corruption scandals that brought down a previous Popular Party administration. But Casado lost an internal power struggle that involved public accusations of corruption against a fellow party heavyweight, who in turn accused Casado of political espionage.
Feijóo did not directly address the unseemly feud that brought down Casado. Instead, he focused on sending the message that the Popular Party would exercise a responsible opposition thanks to its experience.
“We will do everything we can for the best of Spain because our adversaries are our political rivals, not Spain,” Feijóo told party members.
According to recent polls, the Popular Party turmoil has mostly benefited the far-right Vox party, which has gained ground in Spain’s ever more fragmented political landscape.
The Popular Party announced in March that it would enter a governing coalition with Vox in the northwestern Castilla y León region, the first major power grab for the far-right since the end of Gen. Francisco Franco’s dictatorship in 1975.

Pakistan PM Imran Khan suggests he might not accept vote to oust him
Mr Khan urges his supporters to take to the streets on Sunday ahead of the no-confidence vote
Pakistan’s prime minister Imran Khan has suggested that he might not accept a vote to oust him, a move he alleged was being orchestrated by the US.
Opposition parties have put forward a no-confidence motion due to be voted on Sunday against Mr Khan, saying that he has failed to revive an economy battered by the pandemic or fulfil promises to make his government more transparent and accountable.
“How can I accept the result when the entire process is discredited?” Mr Khan told a select group of foreign journalists at his office on Saturday. “Democracy functions on moral authority - what moral authority is left after this connivance?”
“The move to oust me is blatant interference in domestic politics by the United States,” he said, terming it an attempt at “regime change”.
Mr Khan, who has already lost his parliamentary majority after allies quit his coalition government and joined the opposition, urged his supporters to take to the streets on Sunday ahead of the vote.
Hours before he spoke, the head of the army, General Qamar Javed Bajwa, had said Pakistan wanted to expand its ties with Washington.
US president Joe Biden has not called Mr Khan since taking office, but the White House has denied that it is seeking to topple him.
Relations are strained in particular over Afghanistan, where Washington accused Pakistan of backing the successful Taliban insurgency that led last year to a chaotic withdrawal of US and allied forces.
Yet while the government has pursued multi-billion dollar development deals with China, the US’ strategic rival, the army appears keen not to jeopardise relations with Washington, which has in the past supplied it with billions of dollars in military aid.
Gen Bajwa told a security conference in Islamabad that “we share a long history of excellent and strategic relationship with the United States, which remains our largest export market”.
He noted that Pakistan had long enjoyed close diplomatic and business relationships with China, but added: “We seek to expand and broaden our ties with both countries without impacting our relations with the other.”
The US embassy in Islamabad did not immediately reply to a request for comment.

Mark Robins dubbed Coventry City’s clash with Tony Mowbray’s Blackburn Rovers. as a “must win” game.
He had set an ambitious target of 17 points from the 24 available going into this afternoon’s game at the CBS Arena, but the Sky Blues have fallen at the first hurdle, giving up a deserved lead to draw 2-2 and cast serious doubts on any lingering play-off hopes.
City’s success this season has been built on their largely outstanding home form, but with just two more left and five on the road, Robins’s so-called ‘big ask’ just got even bigger, if not impossible.
But even if this special band of brothers fail to achieve their ambitions this time around in what has been a truly memorable and remarkable campaign given the disparity in budgets between a relative newcomer to the division and its upper echelons who are far better equipped in terms of finances to push for promotion, they can rest assured they have done themselves and the fans proud - and raised a few eyebrows among neutral observers.

Read: Fans have their say on Sky Blues' 2-2 draw
And once again they gave value for money when Viktor Gyokeres popped up with a 99th minute equaliser at the far post to stun the visitors, who thought they’d got the three points in the bag.
Few would have predicted promotion in only the club’s second season back in the Championship when the first ball was kicked against Nottingham Forest back in August, and the mere fact that City have kept pace with the play-off pack all season is testament to the huge strides the club have made in such a short space of time.
What they must do now is continue to push for as high a finish as possible, to ensure they maintain their often outstanding levels of performance and serve up a few more big days out for the fans in the remaining seven games. Why not go to the City Ground on Wednesday night and get a result, or to Craven Cottage next weekend and complete a league double over champions-elect Fulham.
The season is not over today, rather it’s the beginning of what should be a celebration of the club getting back to a point in its history where it’s back on the up. Most would have snapped Robins’s hand off if he’d offered fans a top half finish this season.
What’s important now is building momentum to take into the summer when the manager will strive to improve his squad further to enable the team go another step further next season.

Chelsea slumped to a first defeat to Brentford since 1939 as Christian Eriksen inspired the Bees to a 4-1 win that should seal their Premier League survival.
The European champions had gone in front early in the second half at Stamford Bridge through Antonio Rudiger’s sensational long-range strike, but they collapsed to lose for the first time since owner Roman Abramovich was hit by UK government sanctions.
Vitaly Janelt levelled just a minute later to spark a three-goal spree in 10 minutes for the visitors.
Eriksen has been in fine form since making his return to competitive football since suffering a cardiac arrest on the field during Euro 2020.
The former Tottenham midfielder scored twice in as many games during his international comeback for Denmark and continued his scoring streak by lifting the ball over Edouard Mendy to complete the turnaround.
Janelt then made it 3-1 with a deft dink over Mendy on the hour mark.
Third-placed Chelsea remain on course to finish in the top four but will need a major improvement for the visit of Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals on Tuesday.
Yoane Wissa rounded off a memorable afternoon for Thomas Frank’s men when he took advantage of more comical Chelsea defending to drill home a fourth.
A third win in four games takes Brentford up to 14th and 11 points clear of the relegation zone.

Will Smith is reportedly working on an apology to Oscars bosses after he slapped Chris Rock during last week’s ceremony.
The 53 year old actor reacted to a joke made by the comedian about his wife Jada Pinkett-Smith’s shaved head.
The star climbed on stage to hit the comedian after seeing that his wife, who has alopecia, was upset by the joke and then yelled out: “'Keep my wife's name out your f***ing mouth”.
The Academy Awards recently revealed they would be launching a formal review around the incident after releasing a statement following the incident.
Now, a source claims that Will is planning to formally apologise to award bosses, as they decide if any action will be taken against the star.

"Things are hanging in the balance. He will write an official letter to apologise, and effectively beg for their forgiveness," the insider told The Sun.
"He is also expected to hold a call with show bosses in the next 24 hours. April 18 is D-Day, though — he will find out if he still has an Oscar, and quite possibly, a career."
OK! has reached out to reps for Will Smith for comment.
It comes after the star reportedly resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences following backlash for slapping Chris Rock on-stage at the 94th Oscars on Sunday 27 March.
The 53 year old actor, whose wife Jada Pinkett Smith recently broke her silence following the ceremony, described his actions as 'shocking, painful and inexcusable' for his outburst during the star-studded evening and would accept any additional consequences from the Academy's Board of Governors.
"The list of those I have hurt is long and includes Chris, his family, many of my dear friends and loved ones, all those in attendance, and global audiences at home," he said in a statement first obtained by Variety.
He continued: "I betrayed the trust of the Academy. I deprived other nominees and winners of their opportunity to celebrate and be celebrated for their extraordinary work. I am heartbroken."
The King Richard actor also acknowledged that his actions overshadowed the awards ceremony and added how he wanted to 'put the focus back on those who deserve attention'.
Will, who shares children Willow, 21, and Jaden, 23, with wife Jada, shared how 'change takes time' and revealed how he is 'committed to doing the work to ensure that I never again allow violence to overtake reason'.
The Academy stated how it had 'received and accepted' the 'immediate resignation' and will 'continue to move forward with our disciplinary proceedings' before the next board meeting on April 18.

GRAPHIC: Man admits to killing spree including father, girlfriend in jailhouse interview
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WTKR) - A Virginia man openly admitted to going on a killing spree that left his father, cousin and girlfriend dead.
Cole Beale is accused of murder and is currently booked into the Virginia Beach jail.
He sat down for about a 30-minute jailhouse interview earlier this week and explained what led up to the shooting of his girlfriend, Czavier Hill, and others.
“I had a breaking point. When her mom kept calling, and she was crying, what was I going to do?” Beale said.
The 30-year-old said he was fed up with Hill’s parents interfering in their relationship, and her attitude changed. So, he snapped inside her Virginia Beach home on March 22.
“I pulled the dog into the room. I was going to set the dog on fire, and she told me, ‘No, don’t do anything to the dog. You can take me and do whatever but not to the dog.’ So, I did that. I shot her in the head,” Beale said.
Police said they discovered Hill’s body two days later.
“When you snap, you don’t think about remorse; you just snap,” Beale said.
Beale said he then headed to another house, where his 73-year-old adopted father, Clifton Baxter, lived about 12 hours later.
“When I killed him, I found $20,000,” Beale said.
Beale said he had some bad blood with Baxter for not helping him financially. His cousin, Downing Mclean, then got into a fight with him in the home during this incident.
“I got fed up with him. He kept talking, saying I was not going to do anything, and I was like, I just killed two people. Do you think I’m not ready to shoot again? So, I went into the kitchen and shot him in the head and again in his back, " Beale said.
Beale said he then went to Hampton, Virginia, with his cousin’s girlfriend as his hostage. He said he wanted to take it easy at an Airbnb as he watched the search for him on the news.
Beale said while at the Airbnb, he was plotting who to kill next.
“I was definitely looking for more people but choosing my people wisely,” Beale said.
On Tuesday, the U.S. Marshals eventually caught Beale one week after he said he started the killing spree.
“I don’t feel any remorse at all. I don’t think about remorse. It’s not something that comes to your mind when you’re snapping,” Beale said.
According to police records, Beale has previously served prison time for armed robbery and sexual assault on a child.
His court case continues in Virginia.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — It was a quick trip for U.S. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland with stops to hike through desert scrub near the U.S.-Mexico border and to marvel at the jagged Organ Mountains before soaking in what life was like in one of the oldest settlements along a historic trade route.
For Haaland, the time spent in West Texas and New Mexico over recent days helped to highlight the work being done to conserve parts of the borderlands.
But it also marked an opportunity for Haaland — as head of the agency that has broad oversight of tribal affairs — to deliver on promises to meet with Native American tribes that have grown increasingly frustrated about the federal government’s failure to include them when making decisions about land management, energy development or the protection of sacred sites.
Haaland’s selection as the first Native American to serve in the position opened a door for tribes who pointed to a history fraught with broken promises.
“I want the era where tribes have been on the back burner to be over, and I want to make sure that they have real opportunities to have a seat at the table,” Haaland said on March 17, 2021, her first day on the job.
Haaland has since met with nearly 130 of the nation’s 574 federally recognized tribes as she seeks to overhaul a federal system that has limited Native American relations to a check-the-box exercise.
And while some tribes say her aspirations are admirable, others remain skeptical they will see real change and say they have yet to experience meaningful dialogue with the federal government or key decision makers.
Haaland’s department has developed a plan for improving formal consultationswith tribes and established an advisory committee that will aid with communication once it’s up and running. In an effort to make consultation a hallmark of her tenure, Haaland has said she wants integration of tribal input to become second nature for her employees.
There has been some success as tribes felt heard when the Biden administration restored the original boundaries of Bears Ears National Monument in Utah and when the U.S. Department of Agriculture pulled back an environmental impact statement that paved the way for an Arizona copper mining operation to consult further with tribes.
But frustrations persist among tribal leaders who say their conversations with the federal government have not resulted in action on the ground.
For the Ute Indian Tribe in Utah, those frustrations lie in management of the Colorado River basin as western states grapple with less water amid a megadrought and climate change. Tribes were not included in a century-old compact that divvied up the water, and the Ute tribe says it’s seeing the same exclusion now.
The tribe’s Business Committee has spent hours in meetings and preparing formal comments and says it’s tired of having to reiterate its position that the federal government must protect the tribe’s water rights or support development of water infrastructure to serve the reservation.
Committee Chairman Shaun Chapoose said he’s seen proposals, but “actual where-the-rubber-meets-the-road stuff hasn’t occurred yet, and the drought gets worse.”
There are similar sentiments among Navajo Nation lawmakers who are concerned about Haaland’s plans to make oil and gas development off-limits on federal land surrounding Chaco Culture National Historical Park in northwestern New Mexico.
Advocacy groups sent a letter to Haaland on Thursday, saying more needs to be done to include tribes as her department charts a path forward for protecting culturally significant areas in northwestern New Mexico.
The Interior Department said more meetings with the Navajo Nation and other tribes are planned in April and that Navajo-language translators will be present.
In Nevada, several tribes and the National Congress of American Indians have asked the Interior Department and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management to uphold a duty to engage in “robust and adequate” tribal consultation regarding plans for a massive lithium mine at Thacker Pass. So far, the tribes say that hasn’t happened.
Under the U.S. Constitution, treaties and statutes, the federal government must consult meaningfully and in good faith with Native American and Alaska Natives tribes when making decisions or taking action that is expected to impact them.
However, a 2019 report from a government watchdog found some federal agencies lacked respect for tribal sovereignty, didn’t have enough resources for consultation or couldn’t always reach tribes.
Another top complaint from tribes is that they are brought in when a course of action already has been set, instead of including them in the earliest phases of planning.
“The federal government says all the right words, but their mentality is one in which they are not really doing this in a way that reflects the proper government-to-government relationship that I think tribes are orienting to when they enter into these conversations,” said Justin Richland, a professor at the University of California-Irvine School of Social Sciences who specializes in Native American law and politics.
Consultation doesn’t always lead to action or create any substantive rights on the part of the tribes, making it somewhat of a “toothless tiger,” said Dylan Hedden-Nicely, a citizen of the Cherokee Nation who directs the Native American Law Program at the University of Idaho.
He said it’s reasonable, although incorrect, to think things would move quickly with Haaland — a member of Laguna Pueblo in New Mexico — because she had a base of knowledge about Indian Country when she took the office. But the groundwork is still being laid to effectuate real change, Hedden-Nicely said.
“It’s not immediate, but it’s going to be worth the wait, I’m hoping,” he said.
During Haaland’s confirmation hearings, Interior staff consulted with tribes on how to improve the process.
“Secretary Haaland and the entire department take our commitment to strengthening tribal sovereignty and self-governance seriously, and we have affirmed that robust consultations are the cornerstones of federal Indian policy,” department spokesman Tyler Cherry said in a statement to The Associated Press.
President Joe Biden issued a memo during his first month in office, reaffirming previous executive orders on tribal consultation and directing federal agencies to spell out how they’ll comply. That set in motion Haaland’s efforts to give tribal leaders a direct line of communication to the Interior Department.
A congressional committee is scheduled next week to consider a bill by Democratic U.S. Rep. Raúl Grijalva of Arizona that would codify a framework for tribal consultation that supporters say would insulate the process from changes in administration.
The legislation faces an uphill battle, and some tribes want to ensure that it includes a pathway not only for the federal government to initiate consultation, but for tribal leaders to start conversations, too. Similar legislation introduced in the past has failed.
For Amber Torres, chair of the Walker River Paiute Tribe in Nevada, consultation should be more than a generic letter or email.
“I want true, meaningful, face-to-face dialogue with a timeline, intent and follow-up and next steps agreed by both parties,” she said. “Making the tribal consultation process a law is long overdue, and it would be a step in the right direction to ensure tribal nation sovereignty is protected.”

A potential title decider away to City next weekend falls in between both legs of a Champions League quarter-final against Benfica before another meeting with City in the FA Cup semi-finals.
Klopp could afford the luxury of leaving Luis Diaz and Sadio Mane on the bench after their exertions on international duty, alongside Trent Alexander-Arnold on his return from injury.
However, the hosts did not have the easy afternoon Klopp would have hoped for with tougher tests to come.
Watford are in desperate need of points for their own battle to beat relegation.
Ismaila Sarr started alongside Mane as Senegal beat Mohamed Salah's Egypt on penalties for the second time in less than two months to add World Cup qualification to winning the Africa Cup of Nations on Tuesday.
Sarr was included from the start by Roy Hodgson and was a major threat as he nearly caught Alisson Becker off his line early on.
Liverpool needed the Brazilian goalkeeper to be at this best for a few seconds that decided the game midway through the first half.
Alisson stood his ground to parry Juraj Kucka's powerful low effort when the Slovakian waas played through on goal.
The home side swiftly broke up the other end and Alexander-Arnold's deputy, Joe Gomez, swung in a cross and Jota nipped in ahead of Ben Foster to head in his 20th goal of the season.
But there was a nervousness around Anfield as Watford refused to wilt and even had a glorious chance to equaliser in the second half.
Sarr again created the danger with a burst down the left and his cut back was slotted wide by Joao Pedro.
Liverpool had to wait until a minute from time to get the two-goal cushion they desired when Kucka wrestled Jota to the ground from a corner.
Salah had already been subbed by Mane at that stage so Fabinho took responsibility from the spot and smashed into the top corner to secure Liverpool's 10th consecutive Premier League win.

Small Black town fights back Tennessee takeover threats
Tennessee has threatened to take over the town of Mason, which has had years of financial troubles
The state of Tennessee is threatening to take control over a small, mostly Black community in an action that one city official says is tinged with racism.
The events over the past month have been, at best, confusing.
The state announced on March 3 that it was taking over the small town of Mason, which is 72% Black, because of a history of financial issues, as reported by WMC-TV.
Officials in the western Tennessee town of roughly 1,500 people also voted against a request by the state to surrender its charter, according to the report. That would’ve effectively forced the area to no longer exist as a municipality.
Then, on March 23, the state, citing a positive meeting, said it might be able to release Mason from financial oversight as soon as July or August, according to Tennessee Lookout.
The state’s action has been met with fury in Mason, where people believe greed and race are motivating factors for the state.
“People try to tap-dance around it, but the truth is this is happening because of who we are,” Mason Vice Mayor Virginia Rivers told the Tennessee Lookout.
Mason, which has a history of financial challenges, for years has borrowed nearly $600,000 from its utility company to pay its bills, according to CNN. The town voted to use a portion of its money from the American Rescue Funds to pay down the debt to about $260,000, the Lookout reported.
Still, state Comptroller Jason Mumpower seemed intent on a “hostile takeover,” Rivers said.
There are lots of layers to the situation.
First, if Mason were to give up its charter — a request town administrators rejected — it would become part of Tipton County. The county, with almost 62,000 residents, is 75% white and 71% Republican, the Lookout reported.
Then, there’s the new Ford Motor Company project that will change the area. Ford plans in 2025 to open plant roughly 10 miles away from Mason. The $5.8 billion project planned on 3,6000 acres will create 6,000 jobs to assemble electric vehicles and batteries.
If Mason were to give up its charter, any relevant revenue driven by the new plant revenue, like taxes, would go to Tipton County instead of the city.
The letter from the comptroller’s office didn’t sit well with local officials, which prompted River’s “hostile takeover” comment. The comptroller’s office itself called the move “unprecedented.”
“We have not issued a letter to citizens like this before,” spokesman John Dunn told the Lookout, noting it is “unprecedented for us to publicly call for a town charter to be relinquished.”

WAHPETON, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota State College of Science has a new president.
The state Board of Higher Education unanimously selected Rod Flanigan as the 10th president of the two-year Wahpeton college. Flanigan previously served as dean of business and technology at Cochise College in Arizona.
“I know this is where I want to be. There are great things happening at this community college," Flanigan said. "I feel strongly about the community college mission. We help students achieve their dreams; this is what we do for people.”
The search committee originally reviewed 21 candidates who met qualifications for the job.
Flanigan received a bachelor’s degree from Brigham Young University, a master’s from the University of Utah and a doctorate from Utah State. He worked in private industry for more than a quarter century before moving into higher education.

Many readers could give a hoot about poetry, but I would love to see a resurgence of interest in what is the most difficult kind of writing one can do.
Writing a good poem is intellectually, emotionally and physically draining. It’s much more difficult than the writing I do every day. It takes a different mindset and a different, deeper kind of concentration.
In most cases, it’s also much more difficult to understand. But it’s truly worth the effort.
Have you ever read a comic strip you didn’t understand at first, but after you read it another time or two, the joke dawns on you? That’s called a thinker. You’re more satisfied if you have to work for it a little bit.
It’s the same with poetry.
Most of us are in such a hurry, we read things so quickly we don’t understand them, even when they’re written in a clear and concise way.
Poetry takes time. Like a pot of good spaghetti sauce needs to brew a while and let the flavors mingle, to fully understand a poem, you often have to read it a few times, then let it simmer in your brain. You can go back and reread it anytime you want; that will help the simmering process.
But you don’t just read it over and over. Your brain must be engaged with the poem. That’s when the gears start turning.
That’s right: Poetry can be an exercise for the brain. Thinking through a poem is a workout for your mind.
Like a song, which is what much poetry is, a poem can bring emotional comfort. It can help you learn about yourself and about life in general. It can inspire you to create something — and it doesn’t have to be a poem.
But April is National Poetry Month, so that’s what I’m focused on today.
The best way to mark the month meant to honor poetry is to read some.
Here’s one that, despite the dark theme, is very funny. What’s a better way to enjoy poetry than to be able to laugh at it?
Resumé
By Dorothy Parker
Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren’t lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.

The museum collected the sum on the first day of the sale of virtual exhibits. In total, 1,282 digital works of art were purchased. The raised sum will be transferred to a cryptocurrency fund set up by KUNA Ukrainian cryptocurrency exchange to support the Ukrainian army and digital and cyber resistance.
“We were the first to combine blockchain technology and contemporary art to document the historical truth about the Russian Federation’s war against Ukraine,” Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine Mykhailo Fedorov posted on Telegram.
The art depicted in the NFTs tell the story of Russia’s invasion of the country, illustrating the wreckage of buildings, fallen soldiers, and burning flags – all displayed as NFTs to solemnize the events of the previous two months, since the invasion began in February.
“We’ve already sold 1153 artworks and the sales go on. Our goal is 1 million,” tweeted the Museum’s official account. Moreover, the Museum also revealed plans to auction four artworks in the future that will be open to only holders of these NFTs.
Each NFT exhibits facts and a personal reflection while following a clear and simple formula: a token includes an actual news piece published by an official source and an illustration drawn by a Ukrainian artist. To conserve the history of the events, the NFTs will be minted chronologically. Additionally, Ukrainian artists will use their art skills to showcase how the war is perceived by the population of Ukraine – from the beginning right up until the final moments of the conflict.
In addition to raising awareness and maintaining historical records, the Metahistory Museum will also work in sync with other ongoing initiatives to collect donations for supporting the Ukrainian military and citizens. All proceeds from the auction of the collection’s NFTs will be transferred directly to crypto wallets belonging to the Ukrainian Ministry of Digital Transformation.
The largest Ukrainian IT companies, together with the Ministry of Digital Transformation and the Kyiv School of Economics, created the Truth Fund which aims to fight Russian propaganda and tell the world the truth about the war in Ukraine.
The geopolitical crisis between Russia and Ukraine has been described as the world’s first crypto war – while Ukraine has raised millions in donations via the crypto community, Russia continues its attempts to circumvent Western sanctions with the asset class.
NFTs, however, have found a new form of utility in the form of “war bonds,” which we haven’t seen before, given Russia’s sudden and impulsive invasion of the country. The money raised through NFTs can be used as war bonds to help aid the country’s defense, while simultaneously helping Ukraine rebuild its cultural infrastructure.

Shinty: Kingussie a point clear in Mowi Premiership after win over Kinochshiel
Last updated on .From the section Scotland
Kingussie's 2-1 home win over Kinochshiel in the Mowi Premiership keeps them a point clear of local rivals Newtonmore, who defeated Fort William 3-1.
Lovat remained in touch with a 1-0 defeat of Oban Camanachd at Balgate through Graeme MacRae, while Glasgow Mid Argyll gained their first point in a 1-1 draw with Kyles Athletic.
The highlight of the second tier National Division was a 9-0 romp for Strathglass against Oban Celtic at Cannich.
The Scottish Junior Championship for the HIS Sutherland Cup got underway, highlighted by a 6-0 win for Glenurquhart over Inverness.
Roddy Young put Kingussie ahead with an early strike and John MacRae equalised early in the second half. However, it took Ruairidh Anderson just six minutes to extend Kingussie's 100% record to all four games so far.
At the Eilan, Newtonmore had to chase the game after Lewis Morrison opened for Fort William. But the Fort suffered a triple blow in just four minutes when Duncan MacPherson put Newtonmore in front with a quickfire double and Arran MacPhee was sent off. Conor Jones got More's third just before half-time.
Oliver MacRae gave Glasgow Mid Argyll the lead late in the first half against Kyles, but there was still time before the interval for Roddy MacDonald to grab the equaliser. With three draws from four games, Kyles are still seeking their first win.
Strathglass were on fire in the National Division at Cannich where Penri Jones and Michael Stokes both scored hat-tricks, while Steven Hyslop got two and the unfortunate Andy MacDonald scored into his own net.
Beauly remain two points clear of Skye after their 2-2 draw in Portree. Danny Morrison opened for the home side in the first minute before Euan MacCormick's quick double sent Beauly in ahead at half time. James Pringle got Skye's equaliser.
Four goals in just 25 minutes from James MacPherson spearheaded Glenurquhart's cup eclipse of Inverness.
However, it was a lot closer for Inveraray who edged the newly merged Strachur-Dunoon club 3-2 after extra time, and closer still for Lewis Camanachd who eliminated Boleskine 2-0 on penalties after a 2-2 draw.

Love Island's Sharon Gaffka has revealed she had a breast cancer scare while her mother Linda was battling the disease.
The reality TV star, 26, reflected on how she found a "really painful" lump near her underarm and quickly went to the GP having watched her mother battle cancer.
Sharon revealed how she discovered the lump just as her mum was finishing treatment and felt worried about what it could be.
Sharon told The Sun : "I remember feeling discomfort in my right breast between my breast and my underarm. I didn't know that that was a potential spot.
"I basically had a solid lump of tissue, and it was really painful, even just to move around in general life. I was very lucky to find that it was just it was basically like scar tissue, I've injured myself and my body was trying to fix it."
The former islander said people assume breast cancer is "literally in the tissue," as opposed to the cancer growing in the collarbone or underarm.

Sharon said her family history, as well as her mother battling cancer, had prompted her to seek medical advice.
The Love Islander now feels it's important to raise awareness because others may not know what to look for and what is "abnormal" - following her own experience with such concerns.
The reality TV star added: "Had it been something more sinister than it ended up being, I could have been in a lot of trouble because I couldn't spot the signs early."
Sharon acknowledged while some people "find it weird" checking their chests, she hopes by sharing her story she can take away the stigma around doing so.
It comes after the television personality shared her horror story last week of being spiked during a daytime lunch with her friends.
The reality TV star ended up in hospital after she fell unconscious in the restaurant bathrooms after her drink was spiked.
Sharon was left completely shaken by the ordeal and has finally decided to share her story in a bid to raise awareness and to share solidarity with other women who have gone through the harrowing experience.
“The last thing I remember was having a drink in my hand, and after that I have no memory whatsoever," she told The Sun.
"I went to the bathroom but didn’t come back so two of my friends went to find me. The cubicle was locked, they couldn’t get a response and that’s when they started to panic."
Lifting the lid on her terrifying experience, Sharon explained that she held back on telling people for a long time because she felt 'ashamed' it had happened to her.
The former Love Island star has now set her sights on campaigning to change the law against spiking.

Who says bitter division rivals don’t work together on major trades? In a surprise move on Saturday, April 2, the New England Patriots agreed to send “late-round draft compensation” to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for wide receiver DeVante Parker, according to NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport.
Moments after Rapoport broke the story, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the Patriots were sending a future 2023 third-round pick to the Dolphins in exchange for Parker and a 2022 fifth-rounder.
The third-rounder isn’t quite as “late-round” as Patriots fans might have liked, but the Parker acquisition immediately vaults to the top of the most-impacting-moves-of-the-offseason list for New England.
New England had been extremely quiet this offseason with its biggest moves being the re-signing of veterans like Devin McCourty and Trent Brown, and modest signings of Jabrill Peppers and Ty Montgomery.
I’d written about the Patriots being linked to Parker a week ago. Belichick has long been fond of Parker from his days battling against the 29-year-old while he was a member of the Dolphins.
Now, Belichick will get an opportunity to admire Parker’s talents from the same side of the field.
Here’s some of the reaction from members of Patriots media after the Parker acquisition:
Matt Sottile of WMass calls Parker a “welcome addition.”
The 2019 campaign saw Parker put up his career-best–and only 1,000-yard receiving season. The nine TDs he scored were also his career-best. Patriots fans might also remember Parker going off for 8 receptions and 137 yards in the regular season finale despite the tight coverage from then-Patriots star Stephon Gilmore–who was on his way to Defensive Player of the Year honors.
Gilmore had locked Parker up for no catches, despite 7 targets in the early-season meeting that saw the Patriots win 43-0. With Miami out of the playoff race and playing spoiler in what would ultimately be Tom Brady’s final regular season game with the Patriots, Parker helped push the Dolphins to a 27-24 win over New England in Foxborough.
The loss cost New England a first-round bye and the Patriots lost their Wildcard matchup to the Tennessee Titans the following week at home.
ESPN’s Mike Reiss details Parker’s contract situation and the Patriots’ updated depth chart at wide receiver:
N’Keal Harry is listed here, but you have to wonder if the Patriots will be holding on to him.
Decision day is coming soon with the deadline for a Harry extension set for May 2. Some analysts have already predicted Harry’s days with the Patriots are numbered. With the acquisition of Parker, it would seem those days may have gotten shorter.
NFL Insider Dov Kleinman and NBC Sports’ Phil A. Perry chimed in to speak to the rarity of the in-division trade.
The Patriots may not have been the Dolphins’ first choice for a trade partner. However, with Belichick’s affinity for Parker, the willingness to part ways with a third-rounder, and the stacked set of weapons Miami has compiled this offseason, it all makes a bit more sense.
Why the Dolphins Could Afford to Trade Parker
The Dolphins drafted high-ceiling and productive receiver Jaylen Waddle last season. That acquisition was the first brick in the building of a formidable receiver-tight-end set-up for the Fins.
They maintained the services of tight end Mike Gesicki via the franchise tag and then dropped the hammer by swinging a blockbuster deal with the Kansas City Chiefs to add Tyreek Hill. Miami also decided to add Cedrick Wilson to the mix, which made Parker the obvious odd man out.
Miami has the depth to absorb the subtraction of Parker from the equation, and they can use the third-round pick to stabilize another position, perhaps even to acquire a backup plan in the event Tua Tagovailoa continues to display inconsistency.
What Parker Adds to the Patriots
Meanwhile, the Patriots get a 6-foot-3, 220-pound receiver who has shown the ability to be a No. 1 threat on the outside. That’s something New England has been searching for since Randy Moss left town more than a decade ago.
When you put Parker alongside Jakobi Meyers and Kendrick Bourne, the Patriots don’t look quite as deficient at wide receiver anymore.
Does that mean New England no longer has to select at least one wide receiver in the NFL Draft? No, but the selections don’t have quite as much pressure on them as they did before the Parker trade.

Which popular lip plumpers on Sephora are best?
If you want the look of fuller lips without having to endure and pay for multiple procedures, consider purchasing a lip plumper. Lip plumpers work to add fullness and volume to the top and bottom lips. With the use of spicy ingredients to stimulate blood flow in the lips, lip plumpers give users a desirable lip look.
When purchasing a popular lip plumper from Sephora, consider the extracts that are used, the benefits of these ingredients and the possibility that you may be sensitive to one or more.
What to consider before buying a popular lip plumper on Sephora
Plumper ingredients
Before purchasing a lip plumper from Sephora, find out what ingredients are used to plump the lips. Some use ingredients such as extracts from spicy foods to increase blood flow. If your lip plumper contains these extracts, they will appear in their scientific names on the back of the bottle and require research to decipher. Other plumpers utilize natural peptides to increase collagen and elastin production, thus plumping the lips.
Lip-perfecting benefits
Some lip plumpers contain hydrating ingredients that work to leave lips moisturized while they are being plumped. Popular hydrating ingredients include humectants and emollients such as jojoba oil, hyaluronic acid and various vitamins. These ingredients lock in moisture to prevent the lips from drying and can also make them appear fuller.
Sensitive skin
Those with sensitive skin and known allergic reactions to cinnamon and pepper should check the product ingredients to make sure that the natural plumping is done through peptides and not a spicy extract. Before purchasing a lip-plumping product from Sephora, consider searching for products that are hypoallergenic or making sure that the product you have in mind was not made with anything you could be allergic to.
Most popular lip plumpers on Sephora prices
The most popular lip plumpers on Sephora will cost $16-$35 depending on the size of the plumper, the ingredients used and the popularity of the brand.
Tips for applying popular lip plumper on Sephora
To apply lip-plumping products, make sure your lips are clean and exfoliated. Exfoliated lips allow for greater absorption of the lip plumper.
When you are putting the lip plumper on your lips, avoid getting any outside of your lip line as you want only your lips to swell.
If you plan to apply lipstick, make sure that you apply the plumper first for maximum effect. Applying a plumper on top of the lipstick will not do as much to plump the lips.
If you want your lips to look the fullest possible, avoid matte lip plumpers and stick to products that are brightly colored and feature high shine. These will make the lips look more plumped.
Most popular lip plumpers on Sephora FAQ
What makes your lips plump?
A. Various ingredients cause the lips to plump. Some lip-plumping products use spicy extracts or peptides to create a temporary plumping experience. When your lips are exposed to these ingredients, they swell up, giving them a desired full-lip look. Lip plumpers that most closely mimic the use of a lip filler are those that contain hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid brings hydration and moisture to the lips, similar to lip fillers, to provide a full lip look.
Do lip plumpers contain protection against the sun?
A. Most lip plumpers do not contain ingredients that protect your lips from sun exposure. When purchasing a lip plumper consider also purchasing a balm that protects your lips from the harmful effects of the sun’s UV rays while the product is in use.
Most popular lip plumpers on Sephora

OLEAN — Members of the Olean High School Model United Nations team won first place at a conference hosted at St. Bonaventure University.
Earning medalist honors were Chance Padlo, Heartly Phipps and Rose Scordo receiving Superior Delegate honors, and Dylan DiRosa receiving an Outstanding delegate award.
Twelve members of the OHS team, ranging from freshmen to seniors, served as delegates and competed against students in simulations of the United Nations Security Council; Social, Cultural and Humanitarian Committee; and World Health Organization.
Other delegates to the conference were Riti Anumalasetty, Tyler Camp, Ruby Chahal, Jack DeRose, Tanvi Patro, Lily Schena, Connor Valenti and Alex Vogel.
Although the conferences in the 2020-21 school year had to be held virtually, advisor Marie Rakus said they were lucky to have both this school year held in person.
“You’re looking at about 30 kids in a room debating,” she said. “The students have to be very intrinsically motivated to do this. It’s an incredible amount of work, there’s a lot of research.”
Sophomores Phipps and Scordo were China delegates in the Human Rights council of conference. Scordo said she joined in 2021 because of her interests in debates and current world issues, while Phipps joined the club in 2020 as a way to stay active in school amid the pandemic since conferences were held virtually.
“Online, it was more comfortable and informal than in person, but once you’re in person it’s totally different,” Phipps said. “You’re able to interact with people and make some friends.”
“When you’re not in session, you’re just talking like normal, and I made a couple friends at the previous conference,” Scordo added.
Juniors Padlo and DiRosa were the France delegates in the conference. Padlo said he enjoys Model UN for its leadership-building aspects, while DiRosa said he’s interested in pursuing a political career after high school and the club gives him an insight into how world governments function.
“Model UN builds future leaders because it exposes you to a plethora of hands-on experience, especially in person when you can interact with people,” Padlo explained. “It allows students to cultivate their real world skills like communication.”
“With the online, you’re very comfortable behind your screen,” DiRose added. “When you’re in person, there’s a lot more encouragement to speak up and voice yourself.”
Dozens if not hundreds of hours go into preparing for a conference, the students said, as they have to read as many documents as possible about a certain topic in order to convincingly represent that nation’s views and arguments as if at a real UN meeting.
“I’ve probably read a hundred-plus things on our topics. So many articles,” Scordo said.
“She was translating documents from Chinese into English,” Phipps interjected.
DiRosa said the prep continues right up until the day of the conference, which can be challenging if the students’ personal views are different from their country. With the Russian-Ukrainian Conflict as their topic, he and Padlo had to act as mediators between the two countries. Meanwhile, Scordo and Phipps had to discuss violence against women and children with China’s point of view on the matter.
“This is not an easy thing to do, so I’m always so happy to see how many students do sign up to do this,” Rakus said. “The students that have done it before become the mentors and role models for the new participants.”
The students said the atmosphere of a typical conference is different from a normal event at their own school, from a noticeable maturity and professionalism among all the participants.
“You get exposed to those kinds of people, so you get to experience and see people who have similar interests or are just as motivated,” Padlo said.
“Seniors who are in your council are obviously more experienced and you can take note of what procedures they use,” Scordo added.
From reading anything they can find on their topics during free time at school and finding sources from their countries online to having to improvise on the spot and work with other participants, the students provided example after example of real-world application they learn in Model UN.
“You’re developing what I would consider college-level skills,” DiRosa said. “It’s political science, it’s leadership, it’s public speaking and to some degree it’s management.”
“It also shows the type of people who do Model UN are ambitious and outgoing and have the capacity to handle all the hard work you have to put into it,” Phipps said.
Even though their latest conference happened only a week ago, the students said they are already preparing for the next one and figuring out which conferences to do in the 2022-23 school year. Despite homework, other extracurricular activities and their home lives, being ready for whatever country they represent for the topic at hand never ends, and they wouldn’t have it any other way.

MOAB, Utah (AP) — Dinosaur tracks from 112 million years ago have been damaged in southeastern Utah by heavy machinery used to rebuild a boardwalk at the popular tourist area, U.S. officials say.
The damage at the Mill Canyon Dinosaur Tracksite is minor but some footprints had fractures around the rims, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management recently said in a report.
The agency also said an area where a prehistoric crocodile crossed a mud flat appeared to have been driven over multiple times by a backhoe, causing fracturing, the Salt Lake Tribune reported.
The site is considered among the most important dinosaur track areas in the nation, containing tracks from at least 10 different species.
The agency in the report said the project should be reevaluated, the area clearly marked and work crews briefed on where they can and can’t go.
The report also noted that the agency should fill a vacancy for a regional paleontologist that has been vacant since 2018.
“To ensure this does not happen again, we will follow the recommendations in the assessment, seek public input, and work with the paleontology community as we collectively move forward on constructing boardwalks at the interpretive site,” the agency said.
That revised report should be done this summer.
“It’s good that we stopped more damage from happening,” said Jeremy Roberts, among those who sought to have the Bureau of Land Management pause the project. “But this will continue to plague the state until we get a paleontologist.”

Women attacked while walking dog
By Rebecca Cardenas
Click here for updates on this story
NASHVILLE, Tennessee (WSMV) — Two young women filed a police report after a man attacked them because their dog got too close to him on a popular West Nashville Greenway.
Jordyn Wainwright was walking her dog with her roommate in the middle of the afternoon when a man they didn’t know became aggressive with them. She said he got upset that her dog got too close to him and accused the dog of trying to bite him.
Wainwright said she tried to calmly explain that the dog was just friendly, but the situation kept escalating. Her roommate pulled out her phone and started recording. The video catches the moment right before he swats the phone out of her hand, hitting her wrist.
“He flipped out. He was like your dog just tried to bite me and I was like I’m sorry she approached you. And next thing I know he was trying to grab my dog and like punch her,” Wainwright said. “My phone fell out of my waistband and he kicked it across the sidewalk.”
Wainright said he eventually tried to punch her dog, hitting her instead, and throwing her phone on the ground, shattering it.

Gujarat vs Delhi Man of the Match: The fast bowler from Gujarat Titans won the match award for picking career-best bowling figures.
During the 10th match of the ongoing 15th season of the Indian Premier League between Gujarat Titans and Delhi Capitals in Pune, Gujarat Titans beat Delhi Capitals by 14 runs to win their second consecutive match. Among the two teams who haven’t lost a match this season, Titans’ victory is only the third for a team batting first in IPL 2022.
Asked to bat first by Capitals captain Rishabh Pant (43), GT put on board a competitive 171/6 in 20 overs on the back of opening batter Shubman Gill’s career-best knock. In what was his maiden half-century for Gujarat, it was his 11th and 13th in IPL and T20 career respectively.
Having looked in supreme control from the ball go, Gill’s effortless 84 (46) comprised of six fours and four sixes. For DC, left-arm fast bowlers Mustafizur Rahman and Khaleel Ahmed bowled well to pick three and two wickets respectively.
Gujarat vs Delhi Man of the Match
In the second innings, Titans’ specialist bowlers contributed significantly to restrict Capitals to 157/9 in 20 overs. While losing three wickets in the powerplay hurt DC, making a comeback after Pant’s dismissal in the 15th over was never going to be easy.
Gujarat fast bowler Lockie Ferguson, who had dismissed Prithvi Shaw (10) and Mandeep Singh (18) in the powerplay, came back to send Pant and Axar Patel (8) back to the dressing room to pick career-best bowling figures of 4-0-28-4 and pin down Gill in the race for the ‘Man of the Match’ award.
“Was one of those nights and with the kind of bowling partners I have, makes things very easy for me. The pressure was coming from both ends with the ball and it worked for us. I think it [bowling extra fast] is more of an instinct thing. There was a lot of bounce in the surface and I was looking to bang away on that hard length,” Ferguson told Star Sports during the post-match presentation ceremony.
Sarum ramya Gujratis 👍 bowlers have won that game for the titans ! Very well led by @hardikpandya7 great spell @MdShami11 #lockiefurguson !! Great knock @ShubmanGill but still need to make improvements in death hitting ! Aur yeh nehra ji ki smile offside 😁 #DCvsGT #IPL2022
— Yuvraj Singh (@YUVSTRONG12) April 2, 2022
While Mohammed Shami picked the all-important wicket of Rovman Powell (20) to following it with dismissing Khaleel Ahmed (0) in the business end of the match, captain Hardik Pandya and spinner Rashid Khan picked a wicket apiece.

Denzel Washington says he prayed with Will Smith moments after slap
After Will Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock on stage, Denzel Washington says he prayed with Smith.
“I don’t want to say what we talked about, but there but for the grace of God go any of us,” Washington said as part of a discussion with Bishop T.D. Jakes on Saturday, according to news outlet the Wrap. “Who are we to condemn? I don’t know all the ins and outs of this situation, but I know the only solution was prayer, the way I saw it, the way I see it.”
Washington was speaking as part of Jakes’ international leadership summit held in North Carolina.
The incident has drawn a lot of handwringing in Hollywood. Rock made a joke comparing the hairstyle of Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, to Demi Moore’s buzzcut in the 1997 movie “G.I. Jane.” Some have called the joke insensitive because Pinkett Smith has talked about her struggles with hair loss caused by alopecia. After Rock made the joke, Smith got out out of his seat, walked onto the stage and slapped Rock in the face.
Actor and TV host Jada Pinkett Smith went public with her alopecia diagnosis in 2018. Here’s what she’s said about hair loss since.
As the stunned audience tried to figure out what had just happened, Washington, who was seated nearby, approached Smith and they prayed, Washington said.
“There’s a saying: When the devil ignores you, then you know you’re doing something wrong,” Washington said Saturday, according to the Wrap, which livestreamed the discussion. “The devil goes, ‘Oh, no, leave him alone, he’s my favorite’. Conversely, when the devil comes at you, maybe it’s because he’s trying to do something right. And for whatever reason, the devil got ahold of him that night.”
Smith on Friday resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. In a letter, Smith apologized to Rock and his family, and to Smith’s own friends and loved ones, as well as those who watched or attended the event.
“I betrayed the trust of the Academy,” Smith wrote. “I deprived other nominees and winners of their opportunity to celebrate and be celebrated for their extraordinary work. I am heartbroken.”
Will Smith has resigned from the film academy and says he’s willing to accept whatever punishment is coming his way.
The slap has raised questions over how the academy and Smith handled the incident.
Oscars co-host Wanda Sykes said on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” this week that she’s still a little traumatized by it.
“And for [the academy] to let him stay in that room and enjoy the rest of the show and accept his [best actor] award. I was like, ‘How gross is this? This is the wrong message.’” Sykes told DeGeneres. “You assault somebody, you get escorted out of the building.”
The academy said it would move forward with its disciplinary hearings against Smith for violations of its standards of conduct.

House passes $35-a-month insulin cap
WASHINGTON (AP) — The House on Thursday passed a bill capping the monthly cost of insulin at $35 for insured patients, part of an election-year push by Democrats for price curbs on prescription drugs at a time of rising inflation.
Experts say the legislation, which passed 232-193, would provide significant relief for privately insured patients with skimpier plans and for Medicare enrollees facing rising out-of-pocket costs for their insulin. Some could save hundreds of dollars annually, and all insured patients would get the benefit of predictable monthly costs for insulin. The bill would not help the uninsured.
But the Affordable Insulin Now Act will serve as a political vehicle to rally Democrats and force Republicans who oppose it into uncomfortable votes ahead of the midterms. For the legislation to pass Congress, 10 Republican senators would have to vote in favor. Democrats acknowledge they don’t have an answer for how that’s going to happen.
“If 10 Republicans stand between the American people being able to get access to affordable insulin, that’s a good question for 10 Republicans to answer,” said Rep. Dan Kildee, D-Mich., a cosponsor of the House bill. “Republicans get diabetes, too. Republicans die from diabetes.”
FDA approves app to give doses of insulinPublic opinion polls have consistently shown support across party lines for congressional action to limit drug costs.
But Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., complained the legislation is only “a small piece of a larger package around government price controls for prescription drugs.” Critics say the bill would raise premiums and fails to target pharmaceutical middlemen seen as contributing to high list prices for insulin.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said Democrats could have a deal on prescription drugs if they drop their bid to authorize Medicare to negotiate prices. “Do Democrats really want to help seniors, or would they rather have the campaign issue?” Grassley said.
The insulin bill, which would take effect in 2023, represents just one provision of a much broader prescription drug package in President Joe Biden’s social and climate legislation.
In addition to a similar $35 cap on insulin, the Biden bill would authorize Medicare to negotiate prices for a range of drugs, including insulin. It would penalize drugmakers who raise prices faster than inflation and overhaul the Medicare prescription drug benefit to limit out-of-pocket costs for enrollees.
Biden’s agenda passed the House only to stall in the Senate because Democrats could not reach consensus. Party leaders haven’t abandoned hope of getting the legislation moving again, and preserving its drug pricing curbs largely intact.
The idea of a $35 monthly cost cap for insulin actually has a bipartisan pedigree. The Trump administration had created a voluntary option for Medicare enrollees to get insulin for $35, and the Biden administration continued it.
In the Senate, Republican Susan Collins of Maine and Democrat Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire are working on a bipartisan insulin bill. Georgia Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock has introduced legislation similar to the House bill, with the support of Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York.
Stung by criticism that Biden’s economic policies spur inflation, Democrats are redoubling efforts to show how they’d help people cope with costs. On Thursday, the Commerce Department reported a key inflation gauge jumped 6.4% in February compared with a year ago, the largest year-over-year rise since January 1982.
But experts say the House bill would not help uninsured people, who face the highest out-of-pocket costs for insulin. Also, people with diabetes often take other medications as well as insulin. That’s done to treat the diabetes itself, along with other serious health conditions often associated with the disease. The House legislation would not help with those costs, either. Collins says she’s looking for a way to help uninsured people through her bill.
About 37 million Americans have diabetes, and an estimated 6 million to 7 million use insulin to keep their blood sugars under control. It’s an old drug, refined and improved over the years, that has seen relentless price increases.
Steep list prices don’t reflect the rates insurance plans negotiate with manufacturers. But those list prices are used to calculate cost-sharing amounts that patients owe. Patients who can’t afford their insulin reduce or skip doses, a strategy born of desperation, which can lead to serious complications and even death.
Economist Sherry Glied of New York University said the market for insulin is a “total disaster” for many patients, particularly those with skimpy insurance plans or no insurance.
“This will make private insurance for people with diabetes a much more attractive proposition,” said Glied.

Ward-Prowse has Beckham's EPL free kick record in his sights
James Ward-Prowse has David Beckham in his sights. The Southampton midfielder produced more free kick magic to earn his team a 1-1 draw at Leeds in the English Premier League on Saturday and halt its four-game losing run.
The Canadian Press
LEEDS, England (AP) — James Ward-Prowse has David Beckham in his sights.
The Southampton midfielder produced more free kick magic to earn his team a 1-1 draw at Leeds in the English Premier League on Saturday and halt its four-game losing run.
Only Beckham, with 18, has scored more direct free kick goals in Premier League history than James Ward-Prowse, who has moved on to 13.
Jack Harrison gave Leeds the lead in the 29th, bundling home from close range after Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster failed to gather Raphinha's cross from the right.
Leeds, which won its previous two league matches, moved eight points clear of the relegation zone.
Southampton lost its previous three league games before a thumping home FA Cup loss to Manchester City before the international break, and will be happier than Leeds with a point.

The best Mr. Coffee iced coffee maker
When it’s time to beat the summer heat and caffeinate, iced coffee is a drink that satisfies. But if you don’t have the time to pop into your local coffee shop, you can make your own iced coffee from your kitchen.
Mr. Coffee is a trusted name brand that quickly comes to mind for hot brewed drip, but what about iced coffee? It turns out that the brand offers a few options for making the delicious cold beverage at home, which could save you money in the long run.
How is iced coffee made?
Cold brew coffee has become fairly popular in the last few years, but iced coffee is a tried-and-true beverage that is easier and a lot quicker to make. It’s not as simple as just cooling hot coffee over time or in the refrigerator. While room temperature or refrigerated coffee tastes adequate over ice, it oxidizes quickly, losing flavor and becoming bland or bitter. That leaves you with two choices: cold brew or brewed iced coffee.
Cold brew involves steeping coffee grounds for an extended period. You make iced coffee by brewing higher-concentrated coffee before cooling and diluting with ice. The resulting iced coffee is lighter and more acidic than cold brew, less caffeinated and a milder and brighter cup. You can use most drip methods to make Iced coffee, including pour-over. Still, recently many coffee companies like Mr. Coffee have unveiled automatic iced coffee makers that make the task even more accessible.
What to consider when choosing a Mr. Coffee iced coffee maker
Volume
First and foremost, you should consider how much iced coffee you want to make at a time. Mr. Coffee offers two types of iced coffee makers: the single-cup brewer and the two-in-one iced tea and coffee batch brewer. If you’re only making iced coffee for yourself, consider the single-cup model. If you need to make enough for yourself and your family or friends, then a batch-brewer is your best bet.
Size and color
Your iced coffee maker needs to fit into your kitchen physically and if possible, aesthetically. Mr. Coffee’s single-cup brewer comes in a few colors other than the standard-issue black, including “cool grey” and “warm burgundy.” It’s also a slender machine, making it an easy fit for most counters with outlet access. Batch iced coffee makers tend to take up more space, meaning you may want to store it between infrequent uses.
Functionality
It’s always beneficial when a product has more than one use, and with a single-serve Mr. Coffee iced coffee maker, it’s designed solely for that purpose. On the other hand, the company’s batch brewer, designed with iced tea in mind, actually doubles as an iced coffee brewer as well.
Mr. Coffee iced coffee maker features
The Mr. Coffee Single-Cup Iced Coffee Maker comes with a few valuable accessories, including a mesh filter, grounds scoop and double-wall insulated, BPA-free reusable tumbler. The machine is designed to brew iced coffee directly into the tumbler, making your iced coffee easy to take on the go. Similarly, the two-in-one batch brewer comes with a reusable mesh filter and glass pitcher, but it also features variable strength settings for bolder, more concentrated brews. It also features advanced water filtration that claims to eliminate up to 97% of chlorine and other substances found in tap water.
The final verdict
If you want to enjoy a single cup of iced coffee, the Mr. Coffee Iced Coffee Maker is a great purchase. The two-in-one iced tea and coffee maker is excellent for its versatility but is still better suited for tea. For larger batches, you’re better off investing in a solid cold brew maker.

This is a dual-purpose brewer from another respected kitchen brand, but one that doesn’t immediately bring coffee to mind. It makes fresh iced coffee in 10-15 minutes using lower temperature water, a process that is much faster than regular cold brew. It also features five different brew settings, making it a versatile machine worth the extra investment.

Former Liverpool defender Jose Enrique has been accused of “fat-shaming” after he insinuated Manchester United and England left-back Luke Shaw may be “overweight”.
Shaw was deployed by Ralf Rangnick in United’s crucial Premier League home clash against Leicester City at Old Trafford. It is not the first time Shaw’s fitness and weight has been questioned by those in the footballing world.
Former Southampton ace Shaw even hit back at critics who ‘fat-shamed’ him in 2018, stating those individuals mistake his “bigger” natural build for fat. But Enrique’s assertion during United’s contest against Leicester City reignited the inflammatory debate on Shaw’s physique.
Enrique caused the debate when he tweeted “Is it just me or does Luke Shaw look over weight?” His opinion was met with firm resistance from people keen to defend him.
“You should know better than to tweet this Jose,” one fan added in defence of the United defender. “Is he fat shaming Luke Shaw?” one supporter asked.
“If he’s overweight then my good god what am I” another fan joked. “I’ve always thought he looked like a rugby player but it has never affected his speed,” another fan added in defence of the England international.
Do you think Jose Enrique was right to suggest Luke Shaw was overweight? Let us know in the comments
“He looked exactly the same during the Euros and was top two full backs at that tournament,” one supporter said in staunch defence of Shaw. However, a fair number of people have also agreed with Enrique’s assertion.
“I was just saying the same thing. Maybe that’s why he’s injured so much,” one football fan said in defence of Enrique. “He does yes, been saying this for a while,” added another person.
Shaw was one of England’s best players at the European Championships, contributing three assists and the Three Lions first goal in a major final since 1966. He played all but one match as England came so close to winning the competition.

It’s the weekend, Athletics Nation!
With only a handful of spring games left, the A’s attentions are starting to turn toward Opening Day. When the Athletics start their season next Friday in Philadelphia, there is still some question as to who will fill out the roster and especially who will be on mound.
The lead of the A’s rotation isn’t as certain as the last few seasons. Chris Bassitt got the nod last year, but post-trade he’s now moving up the Mets’ rotation with Jacob deGrom injured. While Frankie Montas was the June opener for the abbreviated 2020 season, his return to Opening Day isn’t as certain in 2022.
Frankie Montas will pitch Sunday in a simulated game on the backfields while Sean Manaea pitches in the game against the Padres that day. That leaves both as possibilities to start Opening Day for the A’s.
— Martín Gallegos (@MartinJGallegos) April 1, 2022
A’s manager Mark Kotsay has kept both Montas and Sean Manaea on what seem to be equal chances to be the Opening Day starter, with Montas being moved to the backfields to throw on the same day as Manaea. As discussed by Matt Kawahara in the San Francisco Chronicle, this gives Montas the chance to make sure he hits his inning and pitch goals for the spring without the uncertainty of an opposing team.
There is also the possibility that either starter could get dealt in the last week before the season, as trade rumours have abounded since the end of the lockout. Most notably, both A’s have been attached to the Twins and Yankees as trade targets, with Manaea being the more shopped pitcher. Manaea’s salary is set almost $5 million higher than Montas’ this year, and it is Sean’s last year under team control. This means that the salary shredding A’s of 2022 may want to hold onto the cheaper Montas until they can flip him next year as a rental. Of course being a trade deadline rental may be Manaea’s ultimate fate as an Athletic if he isn’t moved this coming week.
Look to see who the A’s Opening Day starter will be at the beginning of next week, after the results of both Manaea and Montas throwing on Sunday. Whichever pitcher doesn’t start the season’s first game on Friday will be set for the second game on Saturday.
The rest of the rotation is a bit tougher to predict with Brett Honeywell Jr. being shut down indefinitely and James Kaprielian out for the first month. The last three spots likely belong to some mix of: Cole Irvin in his second year with the team, Paul Blackburn who has been up and down for spot starts each of the last five years, Daulton Jefferies who showed up for the end of last season, or newbie Adam Oller. Earning his spot on the roster this spring after coming to the A’s in the Bassitt trade, Oller’s inclusion is extra exciting as it will be his major league debut after a long journey in the minors, the Australian league, and indie-ball.

JANESVILLE (WREX) — Three minors have been arrested for allegedly setting a fire in a department store Friday evening.
The Janesville Fire and Police Departments say they were called to the Kohl's Department Store in the 2500 block of Milton Ave. just before 6 p.m. Friday for a report of a fire.
Responding crews were told there was smoke and fire in the bedding section, and the belief was the fire was intentionally set, according to police. People were already evacuating as authorities got to the scene.
Officials say the fire was contained by the sprinkler system and was completely put out by JFD crews. No one was injured from the fire, but one woman was taken to the hospital for unrelated reasons.
Janesville Police say they arrested a 17-year-old girl, a 15-year-old boy, and an 11-year-old boy for Arson and Recklessly Endangering Safety. They remain in police custody Saturday.
Janesville Police ask anyone who was at the store Friday night or anyone else who may have information about the fire to contact them.
The Janesville Fire and Police Departments are still investigating the fire.

Coach K builds Blue Devils into his final Final Four team
NEW ORLEANS — (AP) — In one of his tried-and-true motivational speeches, Mike Krzyzewski outlined his four pillars of team building: making everyone feel important, taking ownership in the team, adapting to setbacks and playing with feeling.
Duke perfected the first three to help Coach K reach his 13th and most amazing Final Four. Next comes the “feeling” part.
Now that the record-setting, 75-year-old coach is in New Orleans, he knows he must walk a fine line between enjoying the moment and letting it overwhelm both him and his team.
“I've always thought that shared emotion is the best,” Krzyzewski said Thursday, as his team settled in for its run at the coach's sixth national title.
The Blue Devils (32-6) meet archrival North Carolina on Saturday in a national semifinal matchup plucked straight from a screenwriters' script.
When Duke lost two games over the span of a week in early March, starting with the 94-81 setback to the Tar Heels in Krzyzewski's final home game, the thought he might be coaching at the Final Four this weekend felt like a dream only a Blue Devils fan could believe.
But once the NCAA Tournament began, Duke started playing better. Wins over Cal-State Fullerton and Michigan State propelled the Blue Devils into the Sweet 16. There, they knocked off Texas Tech, then Arkansas. Krzyzewski passed John Wooden by qualifying for his record 13th Final Four. On Saturday he looks to improve on a record he already holds, by notching a 1,203rd career victory.
One of Krzyzewski's keys to the turnaround was convincing his players that the rest of this season was about them, not him.
“This is our season, too," Duke's Wendell Moore Jr., said before the team's win over Michigan State.
In many ways, Coach K's final team is fulfilling the vision he shared back in 2015 when, fresh off a championship after his 12th run to the Final Four, he gave the keynote address to a gathering of U.S. Olympic athletes and administrators in Colorado Springs.
“You are not paying rent. You're here, it's yours,” Krzyzewski told the rapt audience as he moved through his four pillars of team building.
He talked about his first Olympic experience, back in 1992, when he was an assistant to Chuck Daly on the Dream Team. Krzyzewski was coming off back-to-back titles with Duke and thought he was a “hot ticket.”
His eyes were opened when none other than Michael Jordan approached him after a practice one day. Krzyzewski braced for the inevitable smack talk from the best player in the game, one who happened to have played at North Carolina. Instead, Jordan asked if the coach could work with him on some of his offensive moves.
In his speech, Krzyzewski said he realized something after that workout.
“It's like a totem pole," the coach said. “Michael Jordan was at the top of the totem pole. And I was near the bottom."
But, Coach K said, ”Michael Jordan had a horizontal totem pole, where everybody was important."
Though there certainly is a pecking order on this year's version of the Blue Devils — freshmen Paolo Banchero and AJ Griffin look like NBA lottery picks — at least four players have scored double figures in each of Duke's four NCAA victories. Five players average in double figures for the Blue Devils this season.
In his news conference Thursday, the coach spoke about the players taking ownership in their fate as the season wore on.
“When you go into competition, if you haven't worked, you have a hard time trusting yourself," he said. “But if you've worked, you can trust, but you also own it. You own it more.”
In his keynote address, Krzyzewski said his first two building blocks lead to the third, which is adaptability. In 2022, it played out after the losses to North Carolina, then one week later to Virginia Tech in the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament, forced Krzyzewski to take a long look in the mirror.
“I just had a good meeting with myself. I said that I've got to do something. I've got to help in some way, and part of it was my approach with them,” Krzyzewski said before Duke's win over Arkansas in the Elite Eight.
Coach K described using the first five minutes of halftime during the Michigan State game to do something different by “just pull(ing) out a chair, and I sit with them for about five minutes and just, ‘OK, here’s where we’re at, and just talk to them.’”
Duke overcame a late, five-point deficit in that one, and now, Krzyzewski has led his team across his proverbial bridge that only a few lucky teams cross. They made it to college basketball's biggest stage.
In his motivational speech, Krzyzewski said one method of getting a room full of superstars to "feel" the mission they were on at the Barcelona Olympics each night was to play the soulful version of the national anthem sung by Marvin Gaye at the 1983 NBA All-Star Game in Los Angeles.
The promise, the U.S. coaches told the Dream Team, was that they would hear that song twice on the day of the title game — once beforehand, then again while they were standing on the podium receiving their gold medals.
The song that closes out March Madness is “One Shining Moment.” Whether Duke will bask in confetti when that song plays at the end of the title game is a big part of the drama that will unfold between now and Monday night.
Whether or not it happens, everyone at Duke is feeling it at this point — even if the coach insists he's been focusing on basketball.
"I didn't do this season to have a storybook,” Krzyzewski said. “I did it because I wanted to coach one more year and I wanted to have a good succession plan for our program. And we've won 32 games, and my guys have been terrific.”

Coach K builds Blue Devils into his final Final Four team
NEW ORLEANS — (AP) — In one of his tried-and-true motivational speeches, Mike Krzyzewski outlined his four pillars of team building: making everyone feel important, taking ownership in the team, adapting to setbacks and playing with feeling.
Duke perfected the first three to help Coach K reach his 13th and most amazing Final Four. Next comes the “feeling” part.
Now that the record-setting, 75-year-old coach is in New Orleans, he knows he must walk a fine line between enjoying the moment and letting it overwhelm both him and his team.
“I've always thought that shared emotion is the best,” Krzyzewski said Thursday, as his team settled in for its run at the coach's sixth national title.
The Blue Devils (32-6) meet archrival North Carolina on Saturday in a national semifinal matchup plucked straight from a screenwriters' script.
When Duke lost two games over the span of a week in early March, starting with the 94-81 setback to the Tar Heels in Krzyzewski's final home game, the thought he might be coaching at the Final Four this weekend felt like a dream only a Blue Devils fan could believe.
But once the NCAA Tournament began, Duke started playing better. Wins over Cal-State Fullerton and Michigan State propelled the Blue Devils into the Sweet 16. There, they knocked off Texas Tech, then Arkansas. Krzyzewski passed John Wooden by qualifying for his record 13th Final Four. On Saturday he looks to improve on a record he already holds, by notching a 1,203rd career victory.
One of Krzyzewski's keys to the turnaround was convincing his players that the rest of this season was about them, not him.
“This is our season, too," Duke's Wendell Moore Jr., said before the team's win over Michigan State.
In many ways, Coach K's final team is fulfilling the vision he shared back in 2015 when, fresh off a championship after his 12th run to the Final Four, he gave the keynote address to a gathering of U.S. Olympic athletes and administrators in Colorado Springs.
“You are not paying rent. You're here, it's yours,” Krzyzewski told the rapt audience as he moved through his four pillars of team building.
He talked about his first Olympic experience, back in 1992, when he was an assistant to Chuck Daly on the Dream Team. Krzyzewski was coming off back-to-back titles with Duke and thought he was a “hot ticket.”
His eyes were opened when none other than Michael Jordan approached him after a practice one day. Krzyzewski braced for the inevitable smack talk from the best player in the game, one who happened to have played at North Carolina. Instead, Jordan asked if the coach could work with him on some of his offensive moves.
In his speech, Krzyzewski said he realized something after that workout.
“It's like a totem pole," the coach said. “Michael Jordan was at the top of the totem pole. And I was near the bottom."
But, Coach K said, ”Michael Jordan had a horizontal totem pole, where everybody was important."
Though there certainly is a pecking order on this year's version of the Blue Devils — freshmen Paolo Banchero and AJ Griffin look like NBA lottery picks — at least four players have scored double figures in each of Duke's four NCAA victories. Five players average in double figures for the Blue Devils this season.

- Ukrainian forces have regained control over the "whole Kyiv region," the deputy defense minister said Saturday.
- It comes after a weeks-long assault by Russian forces bent on seizing the Ukrainian capital.
- Russia's Defense Ministry announced last week that it would reduce its military assaults on Kyiv.
Ukrainian forces have regained control of the "whole Kyiv region," Ukraine's Deputy Defence Minister Hanna Malyar said on Saturday.
"The whole Kyiv region is liberated from the invader," Malyar said in a post on Facebook, according to Reuters.
The Ukrainian capital was under assault for weeks at the hands of Russian forces bent on seizing the city.
Last week, Russia's Defense Ministry announced that it would scale back assaults on Kyiv amid peace talks between the two countries. One Ukrainian MP said the move was an attempt to "save face," and that Russian forces were really "kicked" out of the city, causing concerns about whether the Kremlin really wants peace.
US leaders were also skeptical of Russia's claims, stating that the threat to Kyiv may not be over.
"We believe that this is a repositioning, not a real withdrawal, and that we all should be prepared to watch for a major offensive against other areas of Ukraine," Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby said.
On Friday, a top Ukrainian official accused Russian troops of abducting Ukrainian children and using them as human shields as they reposition from Kyiv.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned on Saturday that retreating Russian troops were leaving mines around Ukrainian homes and "even the bodies of those killed," creating a "catastrophic" situation for civilians, the Associated Press reported.
"It's still not possible to return to normal life, as it used to be, even at the territories that we are taking back after the fighting," Zelenskyy said. "We need wait until our land is demined, wait till we are able to assure you that there won't be new shelling."

What 411 YC Demo Day pitches will teach you about startups
Welcome to Startups Weekly, a fresh human-first take on this week’s startup news and trends. To get this in your inbox, subscribe here.
It’s YC week, and while I love to question how the accelerator’s impact is evolving in today’s climate, there’s always a lot to learn about hundreds of founders coming together and debuting their businesses to the world. I, alongside some of my favorites on the TechCrunch and TechCrunch+ team, covered Y Combinator Winter 2022 Demo Day with a series of posts:
Everything you need to know about YC Winter 2022 Demo Day, part 1
Our favorite startups from YC’s Winter 2022 Demo Day, Part 1
Demo days definitely amplify a brand, but not the one you’d think
Everything you need to know about YC Winter 2022 Demo Day, part 2
Now that we’re done, though, I want to leave you with a few takeaways I had after listening to hundreds of pitches. Here’s what 411 Demo Day pitches will teach you about startups:
India is all about fintech: India was the most represented country, other than the United States in the Winter 2022 batch. For what it’s worth, more than 191 companies in India have been funded through the Y Combinator accelerator, with nearly half — half! — of those companies accepted in the last 12 months.
Demo Day isn’t for funding, anymore: During Equity this week, we chatted about how demo days have evolved in utility, and if the performance in and of itself is outdated. I won’t ruin our eventual conclusion, but I will mention some illustrious YC data. This year, YC said that it backs startups at any stage for its accelerator, and that more than half of the companies raised money prior to acceptance. To me that means that the accelerator isn’t really for the pre-seed company seeking its first check, but for any company that wants access to the YC network.
Competition is inevitable: We noticed that a number of startups basically directly compete with each other in this season’s batch, which isn’t a new trend but perhaps a more noteworthy one as the accelerator scales. Most early-stage investors I speak to try to avoid any semblance of conflict of interest, so YC backing companies in the same geography, with identical business models and founding years is contrarian in a way. It seems like the accelerator has avoided any public tensions so far by separating similar startups from each other — but with around a 2% acceptance rate, one has to wonder how similar bets are determined.
I did an earlier version of this column in September, titled "What 377 Y Combinator pitches will teach you about startups.” Months later, the accelerator has grown its expanse, with nearly half of its companies based outside the United States and new representation from New Zealand, Sudan, Uganda and Costa Rica.
I’ll remind you all, as I always do, that YC — similar to any singular institution — isn’t entirely illustrative of the next wave of decision-makers and leaders within startups. Its growing check size, for example, knocked out a whole slew of funders who once poached deal flow from demo day. And when it comes to diversity, the accelerator dipped in support for some underrepresented groups.
In the rest of this newsletter, we’ll look at an edtech round in India, getting rid of pro rata and Cross River Bank's atypical raise. As always, you can support me by forwarding this newsletter to a friend, following me on Twitter or subscribing to my personal blog.
Deal of the week
Classplus! As our own Manish Singh points out, “at a time when so many edtech firms in India are attempting to cut their reliance on teachers, a Noida-based startup that is helping teachers and creators operate, manage and sell courses to students has raised $70 million in a new financing round.” The startup, now valued at $570 million, is just four years old.
Here’s why it’s important: Offline coaching — in which tutors go in-person to teach students on a variety of subjects — is still very popular in India, however it’s limited by geography. The pandemic, and a broader digitization across the globe, has made some teachers pursue online opportunities to grow their larger businesses. Classplus’ ability to raise money means that urban India has enough demand to be a venture-backable market.
Honorable mentions:
This startup’s novel tech promises to boost battery capacity for EVs
London startup Weaver gets $4M to build out a vetted marketplace for home renovations
Let’s get rid of pro rata
Investors Vijay Chattha and Jay Kapoor, who co-founded a venture firm spin out from a PR company, recently wrote an op-ed arguing that VC should abolish pro rata. The duo drew from a portfolio survey and found that investors rarely provide value-add beyond 90 days from the signed term sheet. “At that point, the investor’s engagement is limited to their attendance at the quarterly board meeting — and that’s the lead investor,” the op-ed continues.
The investors thus think that their peers shouldn’t invoke contractually negotiated pro-rata rights if they aren’t involved in the business, since “their mere presence on the cap table disincentivizes other VCs from working harder for their founders."
Here’s why it’s important: Chattha and Kapoor’s argument is contrarian, because it bets on investors changing their habits at the cost of their own returns. However, I like that it’s asking investors to raise their bar on involvement and influence once they land that coveted cap table spot. It’s easy to give up pro rata in a startup that is struggling, but what about needing to constantly prove yourself to your highest valued company? Incentive alignment for days, if you ask me.
Other surprises from the week:

From tiny to mighty, real fast
Cross River Bank has raised $620 million in funding at a valuation north of $3 billion. The company provides technology infrastructure to venture-backed lending and payments, making the raise somewhat of a double bet on fintech’s boom.
Here’s why it’s important: Fintech startups raised $121.6 billion last year — up 153% year-over-year in terms of global VC deal value, however, as Mary Ann pointed out, it’s atypical to pour millions of dollars into a traditional bank. Andreessen Horowitz general partner David George explained why he is so interested in the company:
"When Coinbase was first starting out and looking for a partner bank, many traditional financial institutions had blanket policies that prevented them from participating in crypto,” George told TechCrunch. “Cross River, on the other hand, had the foresight to lean into this new frontier and support Coinbase, and many other leading crypto companies, who are still happy partners to this day."

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) – The radio traffic from Struthers Police of a traffic stop that turned into a police chase, then a fatal shooting is giving more details on exactly what happened.
It started Friday around 5 p.m. when Struthers police attempted to pull over a gold car. In the audio above from the police radio call, you can hear an officer say, “He tried ramming me in the drive-thru.”
From there, the car headed west on State Street with police behind him. Then, he turned onto Center Street Bridge and headed toward Wilson Avenue. Youngstown and Campbell police were notified at this point.
The chase led police down Himrod Avenue and onto I-680 heading north. The officer then says, “See if we can get somebody out in front of him with stop sticks on 680.”
Soon after, the car headed west on Oneta Avenue toward Steel Street, then on Salt Springs Road. Soon after, you can hear officers scream that he has a gun.
“He pulled a gun! Shots fired, shots fired!”
Right after, you can hear the officer say, “Get YPD up here ASAP.” Then he’s heard saying, “We’re pretty sure he’s shot; he is shot.”
More than a dozen police units responded to the scene, both Youngstown Police and Struthers officials, as well as two ambulances.
Police had several blocks taped off while they investigated.
It’s still uncertain what prompted the initial traffic stop. Both Struthers and Youngstown police have body cameras. First News has requested the bodycam footage and will provide updates on the investigation when we learn more.
No information has been released on the identity of the suspect. Struthers Police Chief Tim Roddy did say their standard procedure is to place officers involved in shootings on leave until it is investigated. It’s unclear how many officers were placed on leave.
The situation is being investigated by the Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI).

The firm behind HS2 has treated concerned residents as a "nuisance" and with a "lack of respect" rather than properly addressing their complaints, an official watchdog has warned.
In an interview with The Telegraph, Rob Behrens, the parliamentary and health service ombudsman, highlighted HS2 Ltd as an example of publicly-owned bodies routinely treating taxpayers without compassion.
The intervention came after he issued a report concluding that the firm was "dishonest, misleading and inconsistent" in its dealings with a family whose home it was attempting to purchase to make way for the rail line.
Mr Behrens wants bodies such as HS2 Ltd to adopt a universal set of standards for dealing with complaints from the public.
He is also calling for the watchdog he leads, which investigates complaints about government bodies and the NHS, to be given powers to initiate its own investigations where they appear required. Currently, it only investigates individual cases that have been referred by MPs.
He said: "I know from the work that I've done, looking at and talking to my counterparts in 50 or 60 different countries, that they would regard the UK as being 10 or 15 years behind them ... In Africa, in Europe and other parts of the world, you have direct access to the ombudsman. You don't here. They have their own initiative powers."
He warned that problems highlighted by the Ockenden Review into poor care at Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital's maternity unit were also found in bodies such as HS2 and the Home Office and needed to be urgently addressed.
Discussing the report published by the ombudsman last year, Mr Behrens said: "The HS2 complaints system was sub-optimal. It didn't treat the people affected that were dealt with with sufficient respect. It changed the rules of looking into complaints in a way that disorientated the complainant.
"And the complainant, broadly speaking, was treated as a nuisance rather than a service user who had experienced very difficult issues.
"That experience, I'm afraid, is common ground with what we heard more seriously with Ockenden, where the mothers of babies were blamed for complaining about conditions that they experienced. It's true of the Home Office's approach to Windrush, where people were regarded as a nuisance rather than people to be listened to and have their issues addressed.
"There is a common element in many of the cases that we see about a lack of respect which departments have for people. And that's what we want to change in the complaints standards initiative which we have, which is heavy on rigour, on learning, on openness, and on compassion. Which is not a word I see used a great deal in central government."
‘Lack of listening and compassion’
Mr Behrens said the Home Office, the Environment Agency and the Department of Health were all guilty of a "lack of listening, a lack of compassion, a lack of willingness to learn, in a way which is worrying".
He added: "I don't see the majority of cases that might be resolved before they come to us, soI can't say it's a default. But it is an issue that has to be addressed. And what pleases me is that the NHS and central government departments say 'yes we're up for this, we want to do this, we'll work with you, providing you treat us as genuine partners and we can use our good experiences because it's not all bad'. I think that's absolutely right."
An HS2 spokesman said: "We understand that residents did not choose to live along the line of route and that for many the process of having their homes acquired will be distressing.
"HS2 Ltd endeavours to treat every land and property case with respect and compassion, while also recognising our obligations to spend taxpayers' money appropriately when agreeing compensation.
"Since 2017, HS2 Ltd have made significant changes to our responsiveness and the complaints handling approach. We continue to work tirelessly to ensure we uphold the highest possible standards."

Elementary students locked in ‘isolation room’ as discipline, administrator says
SILVER CREEK, N.Y. ( WIVB ) – Children from kindergarten to second grade were locked in what’s been described as an “isolation room” at an elementary school outside Buffalo, New York, a district administrator wrote in a letter to the school board earlier this week.
The letter states that at least five students at Silver Creek Elementary School, including a kindergartner, have been “inhumanely and illegally locked or barricaded in an isolation cell.”
“I have been fighting all year to keep children out of the isolation cell,” wrote Jay Hall, the assistant director of elementary programming on Monday.
Hall described the room as a “cold, cinder block jail-like cell,” and said, “It should never, even for one second, be used in any capacity to redirect or punish any child at any time.”
“Children as young as 5 years old are being blockaded and locked in the isolation cell, kicking the door, pounding on glass with their fists, banging their heads, crying profusely, pleading to be freed, all with complicit staff members standing by and watching,” Hall said.
Student shot, killed at Tanglewood Middle, suspect in custodyParents got wind of the letter and started posting complaints on Facebook this week. “You better pray we never find out that our son has ever been put in one of these so-called cells!!” wrote one parent.
On Wednesday, the school district issued a statement, saying in part:
“The District is aware that this morning there were concerns raised on social media pertaining to our Elementary School. The District’s most important priority is the safety and security of all District students and staff. We take any concerns and allegations regarding student safety and their wellbeing as the top priority.”
The district said a law firm, which also acts as counsel for the school board, is investigating the allegations. Superintendent Todd A. Crandall said he hopes to have a report by the end of the week.
Kerry Vasquezmarte, a district parent, said the concerns aren’t new. She said her special-needs daughter was locked in a room several times as a pre-K student at the elementary school. She said a classmate witnessed her daughter being dragged by her arms through a hallway.
Vasquezmarte said her daughter cried when she confronted her about the incident and still has nightmares. She said she met with a teacher and Superintendent Crandall over a year ago to discuss the isolation techniques.
“And all he did was blame my child during the meeting,” Vasquezmarte said. “And I said numerous times to get my child, I was taking her home, she’s not being locked in a room. It took me threatening him for him to finally radio down to wherever to retrieve my kid.”
Vasquezmarte said she eventually pulled her child out of pre-K and homeschooled her during the kindergarten year. Her daughter is back at the elementary school for first grade with a “fantastic” teacher, Vasquezmarte said.
“I was only made aware of any concern on Friday, March 18,” Crandall said. “I can’t comment on something from years ago.”
Crandall said the law firm had an attorney on-site Wednesday to conduct interviews. The attorney was also on school district property Thursday.
“We are not about hiding anything or trying to cover up anything,” Crandall said. “Student and staff safety is paramount, and we look forward to hearing the results so that if need be we can address any protocol or procedures as needed.”
The New York State Department of Education says it could not confirm or deny that the state was looking into these claims. The Chautauqua County Sheriff’s Office said it is not investigating the claims at the school because no one has made a formal complaint.

With $17.1 million on Friday, Sony’s poorly-reviewed anti-hero film Morbius is looking at a $38 million three-day debut. The studio’s conservative estimates, which were placed at around $33 million after the film’s $5.7 million haul in Thursday previews, have been increased, but only slightly. Overall projections, however, have come tumbling down. Just yesterday, some were anticipating an upper-limit of $50 million.
This is a mediocre start to the film, but respectable, if you consider some context. Unlike most movies of this size, and especially those that have the Marvel branding slapped on every piece of marketing material, Morbius has opened to toxic reviews—probably as bad as they can get. Not just critics, even the audiences seem to be rather disapproving of the film; they gave it a C+ CinemaScore.
Directed by Daniel Espinosa and starring Jared Leto as the Living Vampire, Morbius’ Friday haul fell short of the opening day totals posted by the two previous entries in Sony’s ever-expanding universe of Spider-Man films. 2018’s Venom made $32 million on its Friday, as it headed toward a then-record $80.2 million opening weekend. Last year’s Venom: Let There Be Carnage did even better; the film made $37 million on its first day, for a $90 million three-day debut. To put things in perspective, Morbius is looking at an opening weekend haul just slightly higher than what Venom 2 made on its first day. Of course, no comparisons can be made to Spider-Man: No Way Home, which broke records upon its December release, and now finds itself tied to this film.
Nevertheless, Sony is chugging forward with its own Marvel universe, building toward what appears to be a Sinister Six movie (as it has been threatening to since Andrew Garfield’s days as Spider-Man). A Kraven the Hunter film starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson is currently in production under the direction of Oscar nominee J.C. Chandor.
After topping the chart last weekend, Paramount’s The Lost City slipped to number two. Starring Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum and Daniel Radcliffe, the film is expected to make $14.6 million this weekend, after a $4.2 million second Friday. The film’s running domestic total now stands at just under $55 million, marking the second hit of the year for Tatum after Dog, and the third hit of the year for Paramount, after Scream and Jackass Forever.
Director Matt Reeves’ three-hour, noir-infused superhero epic The Batman slipped to the number three slot, after performing exceedingly well over the last month. With an estimated $11.2 million in its fifth weekend, the film's running domestic total stands at just under $350 million. Internationally, the film is closing in on the $700 million mark.
Coming in at number four, Sony's quietly successful Uncharted adaptation is estimated to add another $3.7 million in its seventh weekend, for a running domestic total of just under $140 million. Like The Batman, the film underperformed in China due to a new wave of the coronavirus. The top five was rounded out by Crunchyroll's Jujutsu Kaisen 0. The film is expected to add another $1.9 million to its tally, taking its domestic total to a stellar $31 million.
Next week, Paramount will hope to post its fourth theatrical win of the year with Sonic the Hedgehog 2, which faces off against Universal’s male-skewing action picture Ambulance, directed by Michael Bay. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Researchers uncovered a previously unknown, Russian-linked Android malware that masquerades as a system app called ‘Process Manager’ while collecting a wealth of user data.
According to Lab52 (via Bleeping Computer), the malware is linked to Turla, a Russian state-sponsored hacking group. Turla is known for using custom malware to target European and American systems, typically for espionage. Moreover, Turla was recently linked to the ‘Sunburst‘ backdoor used in the 2020 SolarWinds attack.
Lab52 identified a malicious APK — the file type used for Android applications — called ‘Process Manager.’ It’s not clear how threat actors distribute the APK to users. Based on the connection to Turla, it’s possible threat actors use phishing schemes or social engineering to get the app installed on devices.
Once installed, however, the app disguises itself with a gear-shaped icon to look like a system component. Coupled with the ‘Process Manager’ name, it could be easily mistaken for part of the Android system.
On first launch, Lab52 says the app prompts the user to grant it 18 permissions, including access to location, camera, call logs, SMS, the ability to read and write to storage, and more. With these permissions, Process Manager can effectively gather a huge amount of data about the device’s owner.
Lab52 noted it’s not clear if the app uses the Android Accessibility service to grant itself permissions, or if it tricks users into granting permission.
Further, once the malware gets the permissions, it removes its icon and runs in the background. Interestingly, the app shows a notification saying that it’s running, which seems counterintuitive for a spyware app that would want to remain hidden.
Lab52 also found that the malware installed additional apps on victims’ devices, including one called ‘Roz Dhan: Earn Wallet cash,’ a popular money earning app. The malware appears to install the app using its referral system, likely earning a commission for the creators.
All this seems relatively strange for spyware — Bleeping Computer suggests the unsophisticated nature may indicate the spyware is part of a larger system.
The publication also suggests some ways Android users can protect themselves. For one, check the ‘Permission manager’ feature in the Settings app (on my phone, it’s available in the ‘Privacy’ menu). It’s a good idea to revoke permissions for any apps you don’t trust, or that appear risky. Users should also pay attention to the new camera and microphone use indicators that appear on devices running Android 12. If these indicators show up when you’re not using the camera or microphone, it could indicate the presence of spyware on your device.

A Heads Up
“Camila heard this song months ago, so we have a really honest relationship,” Mendes said of his “When You’re Gone” song during an April 2022 appearance on E! News’ Daily Pop. “I would never really put a song out about her before she would hear it. She knows me and I know her, and ultimately, we both are writers and we both know what it is to make music and what the bigger picture of making art is, we’re supportive of that, always.”

A Guardian newspaper reporter, Julius Osahon, has regained his freedom after five days in the captivity of his abductors.
Mr Osahon’s wife, Jessica, confirmed the development on Saturday to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
She said Mr Osahon was on his way to reunite with the family in Benin, Edo State.
Mrs Osahon said her husband had informed her that he just left the police station in Ughelli after he was debriefed.
Gunmen abducted Mr Osahon on Sunday with other passengers in transit to Ughelli, Delta State. They demanded N5 million ransom for his release.
The kidnappers reportedly got angry at the media spotlight on the journalist’s abduction and increased the ransom to N50 million.
It was not clear if ransom was paid for his release.
The commercial bus which the journalist and others travelled in, has been recovered and kept at the company’s terminal in Yenagoa. The bus has bullet holes all over its body, according to the News Agency of Nigeria.
The Federated Correspondents’ Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Bayelsa State Council, had condemned the abduction of the journalist and other Nigerians.
The chapel in a statement signed Messrs Chris Eze and Bassey Willie, chairman and secretary respectively, called the federal and state governments to ensure adequate security on the highways, especially the Bayelsa and Delta axes of the East-West Road.
“The security situation in our nation is becoming worrisome on a daily basis, innocent citizens are being killed, kidnapped and their valuables carted away by criminals.
“Journalists are not wealthy men in (the) society but just doing their duties to contribute to the growth and development of the nation, that is why we wonder where Mr Osahon will get N5 million demanded by the kidnappers to regain his freedom,” the chapel stated. (NAN)

Ajax remains in control at the top of the Eredivisie after a 3-1 win at Groningen.
- Follow Football-Oranje on Twitter
The Euroborg can be a tough place to go for Ajax and they were behind in the 20th minute with Jorgen Strand Larsen firing into the top corner after some hesitation from Andre Onana.
Groningen almost added a second through Michael de Leeuw before Paulos Abraham fired wide for the hosts. However, in the first minute of first half stoppage time, Davy Klaassen made it 1-1 after good work from Dusan Tadic.
Bas Nijhuis blew for half time, but VAR asked the referee to take a look at the previous attack from Ajax and he spotted a handball by Damil Dankerlui. A penalty was awarded and Tadic made it 2-1 much to the anger of Groningen.
In the second half, Strand Larsen was denied by Onana, while at the other end, Ajax were not sharp enough to add a killer third, until the 91st minute. After a counter-attack, Berghuis sealed the victory.
Ajax move five points clear at the top while Groningen are 8th.

Top 30 Visit: Texans Get 1st-Hand Look At NFL Draft Prospect David Anenih
HOUSTON — The Houston Texans spent the majority of the day Friday morning at the University of Houston's annual Pro Day. Among 15 prospects in attendance, Houston's defensive lineman David Anenih was a standout.
Anenih had an impressive audition in front of 29 NFL scouts. He ran a 4.6 during the 40-yard dash. Benched 225 pounds 25 times. And registered a vertical leap of 37.5.
Anenih's performance grabbed the attention of several NFL scouts. And a source told Texans Daily that Houston has scheduled a top-30 visit with Anenih ahead of the 2022 NFL Draft.
The Texans will also be hosting Anenih for their local Pro Day, per Pro Football Network.
"I was trying to show the scouts that I can be very versatile," Anenih said. "I can play the 3-4 and a 4-3 defense. I showed that I can move well for a guy my height, weight and size. Backpedaling and shuffling is not a problem or issue for me."
Anenih was one of three prospects in attendance with a concrete chance to hear his name called during the draft.
He is a projected Day 2 prospect who can be a significant addition to any team's defensive front. Anenih's best attribute is his ability to get after the quarterback. He finished his collegiate career with 20.5 sacks.

Texans Top Target: 'I'm the Best Player in NFL Draft'
Kayvon Thibodeaux made one last impression in front of scouts before the NFL draft
Texans Top 3 Draft Priorities?
An NFL.com article narrowed down the Houston Texans' biggest needs to just three, but are they right?
Anenih played a major role in helping Houston produce one of the best defensive fronts in the nation. During the Cougars' 2021 campaign, Houston notched 43 sacks. He accounted for 5.0 sacks with 9.5 tackles for loss.
"He brings something special to the table when it comes to sacking the quarterback," Cougars' coach Dana Holgorsen said. "He has all the skills as a pass rusher. He gained weight and recorded one of the biggest wingspans in this draft."
The Texans revamped their defensive line in 2021 and established a foundation with the emergence of Jonathan Greenard and Roy Lopez. By adding Anenih, Houston would have a trio of defensive linemen who can create havoc on the opposing team's offensive line.
The Texans recorded 32 sacks last season, and coach Lovie Smith has emphasized the importance of adding to the defensive front.
Anenih met privately with Atlanta Falcons' linebackers coach Ted Monachino following the events at TDECU Stadium. He said the conversation with Monachino went great, who was enamored by Anenih's performance and speed off the ball.
"This means a lot to me," Anenih said. "Since I was a kid, this is what I dreamed about. And it is finally here. All glory to God because my dreams are finally coming true."
The Texans ended Houston's Pro Day by holding a meeting with Anenih's teammate, Marcus Jones.

Iga Swiatek sweeps aside Osaka in Miami Open to clinch ‘Sunshine Double’
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Naomi OsakaJapanese tennis player
As little as a few fleeting weeks ago, while Ash Barty was still dominating all opponents in her path, the gap between the world number one and the rest of the top players seemed to be as vast as a canyon. Beneath her, so little separated the rest, and in her absence anyone could beat anyone else on any given day.
Yet in no time at all, the landscape of women’s tennis has shifted due to one player alone: Iga Swiatek has established herself as the transcendent figure in the sport. Two days before she officially becomes the new world number one, Swiatek took another enormous step forward in her young career with one of her biggest wins yet, dismantling four-times grand slam champion Naomi Osaka 6-4, 6-0 to win the Miami Open.

Having started the season still just working towards producing her best level on hard courts, 20 year-old Swiatek’s progress has accelerated at an astonishing rate. She has now established a 17-match winning streak, all on this surface, becoming just the fourth woman in history to clinch the Indian Wells and Miami ‘Sunshine Double’. She is also the first player to win the first three WTA 1000 events of the year.
This carried significance beyond the personal triumphs of Osaka and Swiatek. At Toronto in 2019, Osaka and an 18 year-old Swiatek faced off in a match so wildly entertaining and high quality that it sparked a friendship between them. It became clear that this was potentially an era-defining rivalry, and Miami marked their first meeting since, this time on equal terms as grand slam champions.
Not only has Swiatek dramatically improved since then and even when she won the French Open aged 19 in 2020, she is also utterly vicious in the biggest matches. In her five grand slam and WTA 1000 finals, no player has won more than five games against her.
While Osaka was able to match her intensity at the beginning, the completeness of Swiatek’s game was too overwhelming. Swiatek has established herself as one of the best in the world both defensively and offensively. She countered Osaka’s first strike with her athleticism and intelligence, she smothered Osaka’s second serve with her exceptional return and also comfortably controlled the baseline, out-hitting Osaka off both groundstrokes by the end. Swiatek has so many options, and she is steadily learning how to use them.
Ten days ago, Swiatek was relaxing in bed when a member of the team knocked on her hotel room door to inform her of Barty’s retirement and the possibility that she could be world number one. With all of that extra pressure on her shoulders, Swiatek responded by obliterating Viktorija Golubic 6-2, 6-0 to clinch the No 1 spot and she powered on to win the tournament without dropping a set. The most ominous part of this breakthrough is what is to come: the clay season, her best surface, is next.
Even after a defeat that ended so bluntly, this has been an excellent tournament for Osaka, too. Over the past year, she has dealt with her mental health struggles in the public eye and, having played so few tournaments since winning the Australian Open last year, Osaka fell as low as 85th in the rankings in February.
She has explained that she began speaking with a therapist after being heckled in Indian Wells last month and her positive frame of mind in Miami has yielded some of her best tennis in years. With so few events under her belt, the level set by Swiatek should only serve as inspiration for her to meet this challenge in their future encounters. The hope is that there will be more to come.
Meanwhile, the men’s No 2 Daniil Medvedev has announced that he will be out for one or two months after undergoing a “small procedure” due to playing with a hernia for some time. The surgery puts Medvedev’s presence at the French Open in doubt, which begins at the end of next month.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Tesla delivered 310,000 vehicles in the first quarter, up roughly 68% from the same period in 2021, the company said Saturday.
However the company's sales were slightly below expectations, which were looking for Tesla to produce 312,000 cars, according to Wedbush Securities. But the sales increase came even as Tesla battled a global shortage of computer chips and other parts.
The Austin, Texas, maker of electric vehicles and solar panels announced its production and delivery results on Saturday. The old quarterly delivery record of 308,600 vehicles was set just one quarter ago, from October through December of 2021. Tesla delivered 185,000 vehicles in the first quarter of last year.
The global computer chip shortage has bedeviled nearly all automakers, but Tesla seems to have dealt with the shortages better than the rest of the industry. Wedbush analysts said they believe 20,000 to 25,000 sales that would have happened in the first quarter have now been pushed into the second quarter due to supply and logistics issues.
“We remain steadfastly bullish on the Tesla story and believe when factoring in all the manufacturing headwind dynamics this was a modestly bullish print,” Wedbush analysts said in a note.
Last year the company delivered a record 936,000 vehicles, an 87% increase over 2020 numbers.
The company said in February that it expects 50% annual growth in sales, meaning it expects about 1.4 million vehicles to be delivered this year. But on a conference call with analysts, CEO Elon Musk said the chip shortage would stop the company from rolling out any new models this year.
Earlier this week, Morgan Stanley Analyst Adam Jonas wrote in an investor note that he expected 320,000 to 325,000 deliveries from January through March, more than most analysts.
“Given extraordinary supply chain pressures and Tesla’s continued significant price increases, we believe a path to (full year) deliveries of over 1.4 million units would be impressive, but in our minds, difficult in isolation to move the stock from here,” Jonas wrote.
Tesla shares closed Friday at $1,084.59.
The company opened its new factory in Germany late in the first quarter, and last year it started building the Model Y small SUV at a new factory near Austin, Texas.

MILLSBORO, Del. (AP) — A Delaware man has been arrested and charged drunken driving for the 10th time, state police said.
Authorities said 54-year old Charles Smith of Millsboro was arrested for a 10th-offense DUI following a crash Thursday morning.
Investigators said troopers were notified shortly before 11:30 a.m. Thursday that a white pickup had struck a fence and that the driver was trying to run away.
Authorities said officers found Smith walking just south of the accident scene, and that he smelled of alcohol.
A computer inquiry revealed that Smith’s driver’s license was revoked and that he had been arrested for nine prior DUI offenses.
Smith is charged with felony DUI, driving while his license was revoked, leaving the scene of an accident, and several other traffic offenses.
He was being held at Sussex Correctional Institution with bond set at $15,500 cash.
It was not immediately know whether Smith has a lawyer.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) — Mets ace Max Scherzer is dealing with a hamstring issue and isn’t sure when he’ll pitch next, another frustrating setback for the top of New York’s heralded but suddenly fragile rotation.
A day after the Mets said star Jacob deGrom will miss significant time with a shoulder injury, Scherzer was scratched from his outing Saturday morning in a simulated game.
Just five days away from opening day in Washington, Scherzer said he wasn’t sure about the immediate plans. The three-time Cy Young Award winner said he doesn’t expect the trouble with his right hamstring to be a long-term problem.
“Don’t know,” Scherzer said when asked when he’d pitch again. “I’ve had these little hamstring injuries before. They go away in days. Fortunately enough I’ve been pretty good to not have serious hamstring injuries. I’ve had just little hiccups.”
“I think this is the same thing. For me, it’s just a day-to-day thing … but when you’re dealing with hammies, you never know.”
Mets manager Buck Showalter said he would lean on the 37-year-old right-hander for advice going forward, but added that Scherzer was still in consideration for the opening day nod against his former Nationals teammates.
“If you look at the days and off and what have you, yeah, but I’m not committed to that,” Showalter said.
The Mets signed Scherzer as a free agent to a $130 million, three-year contract. That seemed to give them a dominant front of the rotation, but the news that deGrom wouldn’t throw for up to four weeks but a huge dent in those hopes.
There is no timetable for deGrom’s return. In addition to the time he won’t throw, the two-time Cy Young Award winner might need at least a month after that to get ready to pitch in the majors — and that might be a best-case scenario after he missed the second half last year because of an elbow injury.
All-Star Chris Bassitt, acquired last month in a trade with Oakland, is set to pitch Sunday’s Grapefruit League contest. Carlos Carrasco and Taijuan Walker are lined up to round out the rotation’s back end.
“Just because something doesn’t happen on the first game of the season, I’m not going to put the whole thing in disarray for one spot or even two spots,” Showalter said.
“We have options to go in different directions if we want to. I told all three of those guys to continue down the path you’re on right now,” he said.
Two other pitchers might be of service to keep the rotation in order.
Right-hander Tylor Megill and southpaw David Peterson — the first two starters outside of the predicted starting five — have both been stretched out to five innings this spring.
“They’ve presented themselves as physical options, for sure,” Showalter added.
Thursday proved to be the source of Scherzer’s ailment.
“I’d noticed something a couple days ago from running,” he said. “Hamstring just tightened up, didn’t feel like I strained it or anything like that. I had good recovery the past two days.”
“Then I went through my normal routine to go for it and make a start today, and the hamstring just tightened up,” he said.
Unlike deGrom, Scherzer said he would still be able to maintain part of his routine, making his recovery less time-consuming than deGrom’s.
“Fortunate enough this doesn’t really affect when I throw, so I’m able to get into my throwing mechanics,” Scherzer said.
The American League Cy Young winner in 2013 for Detroit before capturing a pair with the Nationals in 2016 and 2017, Scherzer said had a great offseason workout routine. The start of spring training was delayed this year as Major League Baseball owners and players worked to settle a 99-day lockout.
“It’s frustrating. I’ve really worked hard this offseason — lifting my legs heavy, doing all the running. I feel like I was in a really good spot with my body and my arm,” Scherzer said.

Professor Peter Gorder, chairman of the University of Colorado Colorado Springs’ department of mechanical science and aerospace engineering, explains the cyclical nature of the U.S. aerospace industry.
“In the ‘60s, there was a hiring boom, because we were in the space race,” Gorder said. “By the time I went to school in 1981, all those folks who were hired in the ‘60s had gray hair and were thinking about retirement.”
As the industry has expanded over the ensuing four decades, the cycle has continued. Now, Gorder said, “I’m the one with the gray hair,” and many of the aerospace industry’s senior employees are approaching retirement. With the advent of the U.S. Space Force, the industry is hungrier than ever, and it’s time to feed it again.
To that end, UCCS will launch its aerospace engineering bachelor’s degree program in the upcoming fall semester. Approved by the university system's Board of Regents in February, the program is set to admit 35 new students — incoming freshmen, with perhaps a few transferring sophomores — with a plan, four years from now, to have about 120 students preparing to enter the aerospace pipeline.
“But there’s already a buzz about the program,” Gorder said. “I suspect 120 will be a conservative estimate.”
The UCCS program is only the second such degree program in the state. The University of Colorado Boulder is the only other undergraduate aerospace degree, which Gorder said is somewhat surprising.
“In a way, it’s a little mind-boggling. Colorado has such a large presence in the aerospace industry, you’d think there would be more programs available. But we’re excited to be able to offer it.”
The degree initiative is part of the University Partnership Program launched by the Space Force last year. The University of Colorado system sealed the partnership last August with a brief ceremony on the UCCS campus, during which CU President Todd Saliman and Gen. David Thompson, Space Force vice chief of space operations, signed a memorandum of understanding symbolizing the university’s commitment to bolstering U.S. dominance in aerospace technology, research, development and security.
“The state of Colorado and community of Colorado Springs have long been key members and supporters of the national security space enterprise,” Thompson said at the ceremony. “So it’s fitting for the Space Force to establish a formal partnership between the University of Colorado and the Space Force.”
Aerospace engineering is a kind of hybrid between aeronautical engineering (which deals with mechanisms that operate within the atmosphere, including airplanes, helicopters and drones) and astronautical engineering (which focuses on satellites, interplanetary vehicles, probes and other equipment that operates outside Earth’s atmosphere). While aeronautical engineers are required to have some knowledge of both disciplines, most university programs emphasize one or the other.
“Our emphasis will be mostly on the astronautical side,” Gorder said. “That’s kind of an homage to the industry here in Colorado Springs, because so much of the local industry focuses on operating outside our atmosphere.”
Local aerospace companies, eager to bolster the industry with the state’s best young minds, have encouraged a degree program at UCCS for a long time, but the university lacked the resources , Gorder said. Now the university system, the Space Force and donors have provided the financial and material support needed.
“This is a huge workforce development opportunity in Colorado Springs,” Gorder said. “Having the local opportunity for continuing education for aerospace employees, and for workforce development for new employees, is huge.”
Other aerospace companies in the city and region are also working to expand the industry’s labor pool. In 2018, Lockheed Martin committed to creating 8,000 new apprenticeship and workforce development opportunities. Four years later, they are nearly halfway to their goal, with 3,500. Northrop Grumman is making a push to bring more women and minority students into STEM careers. Raytheon Technologies’ internship program is recognized as one of the best in the country.
Gorder said the university, which plans to offer a master’s degree in aerospace engineering beginning next year, is more than ready to help these companies prepare the next generation of aerospace talent.
“It is a very exciting development,” Gorder said. “It’s something that has been encouraged by local industry for years, and we just haven’t been able to do it. Now, with the support of the University of Colorado system, donors, the Space Force, and the continued support of the local industry, all the pieces are in place.”

FORT MYERS, FLA. – If "The Mystery of Gary Sanchez" was a detective novel, it's not hard to imagine some of the chapter titles.
The Curse of Potential. The No-Hustle Hustle. If I Can Make It There. Blast Balls, Passed Balls. Twin Engines.
Trouble is, it's a lot harder to imagine how those chapters end, what the solution is. Because while the Twins certainly have no regrets about the March 13 trade that brought the 29-year-old Sanchez to Minnesota — it also freed up payroll space to acquire Carlos Correa, after all — it's fair to say they aren't sure yet just what they acquired.
"We triangulated as much information as we could around makeup and background [and found] this kid wants to be good," said Derek Falvey, the Twins president of baseball operations. "And maybe [he needs] just a reset. Take a deep breath, go somewhere else and continue to go down that path. We'll give him that opportunity. The talent is there, and now we just want to help him unlock it."
The Yankees searched for the key for six years, after being smitten by a rookie season — well, a rookie two months — that evoked comparisons to Thurman Munson and Jorge Posada. Sanchez clubbed 20 home runs after being called up in August 2016, and finished second in AL Rookie of the Year voting despite playing only 53 games.
Then he won the Silver Slugger Award the next season, made the All-Star team, and cracked 33 homers to break the Yankees record by a catcher. Suddenly the comparisons were to Hall of Famers Yogi Berra and Bill Dickey.
Of course, that's not always a good thing in New York, during a Yankees championship drought of 12 years and counting, amid the social-media age.
"You set standards at an early age, and you naturally expect you'll live up to them for a long time," said Twins manager Rocco Baldelli, who burst into the major leagues in a similarly stellar manner a decade and a half earlier. "But this is baseball. There are no guarantees."
Sanchez knows that as well as anyone. Though he kept hitting home runs relatively frequently, and blasting Twins pitching relatively constantly (he has victimized his new team with a .991 OPS over the years), he has never equaled the promise of those first two seasons. In fact, of the 191 major league hitters who have collected 1,200 plate appearances over the past four seasons, Sanchez's .201 batting average ranks dead last. His .299 on-base percentage ranks 181st.
Defensively, Sanchez fought a reputation for being a poor pitch-blocker, leading the majors in passed balls twice. Pitch-framing metrics rank him below average as well, and his Howitzer arm, which caught 41% of base-stealers his first season and 38% the second, has declined every year but one since then, falling to 17% last year.
Making matters worse were various brush-fire controversies that can be common in New York, headlines about not hustling down the line, punching Miguel Cabrera during a brawl and being benched amid slumps. One columnist went so far as to criticize the native of the Dominican Republic for using an interpreter during interviews.
"That chapter is done. [New York] is in the past," Sanchez said diplomatically. "I'm part of the Twins now."
A new beginning
No wonder every player asked for their impression of their new teammate last week noted how happy and pleasant Sanchez has been in camp.
"He seems confident, he seems upbeat. You see him smiling a lot, which is awesome," said Sonny Gray, Sanchez's teammate in New York in 2017-18. "Gary's a great guy. He's always been very steady."
And the Twins believe he has often been misjudged, or at least judged too harshly.
"I don't think anyone is immune to the challenges of playing in bigger markets," Baldelli said. "It's very different experience on a day-to-day basis as a ballplayer."
Falvey agreed, saying: "He's had a lot of pressure, being Gary Sanchez the New York Yankees catcher, and he struggled at different times. But I fundamentally believe in the talent."
Falvey is not the only one. Tyler Duffey has thrown to Sanchez twice in the past week, and "I loved it. He gives a good target." Duffey said he has heard the criticism of his new catcher, but has a theory about it.
"He's worked with a great pitching staff in New York, and handling some of the guys he handled, probably got a worse rep than he deserved. A lot of guys throwing 100, maybe not the best control, it's hard to catch," Duffey said. "It's a little different when you've been in New York your whole career, and here it feels like everything moves a little slower. He'll have a chance to settle in, enjoy himself, win some ballgames. He's going to have a big year, I think."
Working to improve
Sanchez is putting in the work, anyway. He's spent hours in the bullpen with new catching coach Hank Conger, drilling himself on pitch-framing technique, better catching stances and knocking down everything in the dirt.
"We're not trying to completely revamp anything. My philosophy is, let's find the position where you're most comfortable receiving it. But at the same time, you've also got to be aware of being able to block a pitch, set yourself up to be able to react quickly as well," Conger said. "So let's just find the position you feel most comfortable receiving it, where you minimize the movement of your glove, where you make the pitcher comfortable."
That last part is the best, Conger said.
"One of the surprising things when he came in was, he was really eager to get to know all the pitchers, and I was pumped about that. To me, that was really encouraging," he said. "It's tough for a guy to come in and just all of a sudden learn about 15 or 20 new guys in a spring training, especially a short one, after spending his entire career in another organization. I thought that would be the toughest part, but it's also one of the most important, but he's catching extra bullpens, talking to pitchers on the bench, making sure he's on the same page with them."
Baldelli said he is not certain yet how he will split playing time between Sanchez and second-year catcher Ryan Jeffers, and how often he will get Sanchez's bat into the lineup as a designated hitter. But after two weeks around the veteran, Baldelli is excited about the season he might have.
"He's a peach. He's a pleasure to be around every day. He's fun, he's getting to know the guys, he's loosening up really well," the manager said. "I think he's going to enjoy playing here."

The mother of Baby P is said to have asked for extra protection in jail – fearing fellow lags are plotting a deadly knife attack. Baby P – 17-month-old Peter Connelly – died in agony, suffering a fractured spine and eight broken ribs in 2007, reports the Mirror.
In a case which shocked the nation, the tot was found in a blood-splattered cot at home in Haringey, North London, having sustained a horrifying 50 injuries over eight months Tracey Connelly, her lover Steven Barker and his brother Jason Owen were all jailed. Despite 60 visits, social workers never attempted to remove Peter from his mum’s care.
Connelly was handed an indeterminate sentence and was released in 2013. But she was recalled to jail in 2015 after breaching the terms of her licence by selling naked pictures of herself. Connelly’s parole hearing – her fourth since being recalled to prison – took place on March 15 and 16 via video.

It is understood a victim impact statement was delivered by at least one person still affected by the case. Ministers do not normally attend The Parole Board approved the release of Connelly - the news was met with public fury. Connelly is reported to have complained her life is at risk in HMP Low Newton, Durham, and is terrified prisoners are determined to strike before her release date, which could be next month.
A source said: “Tracey Connelly is paranoid that she will be attacked in the wake of the Parole Board’s decision. The publicity around her parole has provoked renewed anger towards her in the prison. She is a marked woman again after keeping her head down for years. Tracey believes she will be knifed and is almost afraid to venture out of her cell.”
A report on the parole hearing said: “At the time of her offending, risk factors had included Ms Connelly not managing certain aspects of her personality, entering into relationships quickly, prioritising those relationships above anything else, thinking about sex a lot and using sex to help her feel better about herself.
“The panel also considered risk factors to include Ms Connelly’s inability to control extreme emotions, her way of life, her decision making, her low self-esteem, manipulative behaviour, dishonesty, a lack of victim empathy and her difficulties in coping with feelings of anger.”
The report concluded: “After considering the circumstances of her offending and time on licence, progress made in custody, evidence presented at the hearing and the recommendations of witnesses, the panel was satisfied Ms Connelly was suitable for release.
The Ministry of Justice declined to comment when approached by The Mirror. Barker, who was cleared of murder, is serving a life term. Owen got a minimum three years but returned to jail briefly in 2013 after a parole breach. He is believed to be living under a new identity.

Stop your allergies from acting up with the right laundry detergent
Whether you deal with constant sneezing, a stuffy or runny nose, watery eyes or sore throat, seasonal allergies are no fun.
Limiting your time outdoors and taking allergy meds can help reduce your symptoms during peak times, but there’s more you can do. Washing your clothes and bedding with the right detergent can remove any pollen and other outdoor allergens that might cling to the fabric and trigger a reaction. You don’t want the detergent to make your symptoms worse, though, which is why it’s essential to choose a formula that isn’t loaded with dyes and fragrances that are known to cause irritation and allergic reactions on their own.
Need a gentle, effective laundry detergent to deal with your seasonal allergies? We’ve compiled a list of some of the best laundry detergents for those with seasonal allergies that are sure to limit your sneezes this allergy season.
Molly’ Suds Natural Soap for Sensitive Skin

Boris Johnson's future in doubt if local elections end in disaster, Tories warn
A DISASTROUS result in the local elections next month will put Boris Johnson's Premiership in danger, senior MPs have warned. While the Prime Minister has been applauded for his leadership over Ukraine and the war "has bought him time", Conservative MPs are still concerned about the political fallout from "party-gate".
Partygate: Keir Starmer asks why Boris Johnson hasn't resigned
There is also anger over a failure to properly tackle the cost of living crisis with energy bills going up this week along with an increase on National Insurance. Rebel Tory MPs who tried to push Mr Johnon out earlier this year over the allegations of lockdown breaking parties in Downing Street have insisted that “the issue has not gone away” despite the war in Ukraine. A source on the 1922 Committee, which represents Conservative backbenchers, told the Sunday Express: “We have Easter recess then are rapidly into the local elections. That may be the decision point.”
Another senior backbencher who had handed a letter demanding a leadership election to Sir Graham Brady chairman of the 1922 Committee insisted: “Boris is definitely not out of the woods yet.”
Last week 20 employees in Downing Street received fines from the police for breaking lockdown rules but the Government has refused to identify them.
The MP went on: “We still have to see the police report into Party-gate and the full Sue Gray Report. They could be damning and voters have not forgiven the Government for what happened.
“Obviously, Ukraine has bought him time and also helped strengthen his position. We cannot change leader in the middle of a war but that does not mean we will not revisit this issue.
“There are problems with cost of living in particular that the Government is not tackling and if the local elections are bad then we will see letters go in again.”
A vote on having a Tory leadership election would be triggered if 54 Conservative MPs submit a letter to Sir Graham Brady - 15 percent of the Parliamentary party.
But one known rebel has told the Sunday Express that any potential coup is “now over.”
The MP said: “Ukraine has put everything into perspective. We have seen in Russia what a real dictator looks like and in the middle of a war Party-gate seems a lot less important.
“The Prime Minister has shown real international leadership and there is nothing now that could be said in the Sue Gray report which would force him out.”
The speculation over the Prime Minister’s future comes as a new poll has revealed a collapse in support for the Conservatives in their rural heartlands with a swing of 7.5 percent towards Labour.
The survey from the Country Land & Business Association (CLA) has revealed a major shift in the political allegiances of rural voters, with data showing a third (36 percent) of rural voters intend to vote Labour in the next election - almost identical to those intending to vote Conservative (38 percent).
It found that 66 percent of respondents stated that the UK Government is not doing enough to create prosperity in rural communities.
Almost half of respondents (42 percent) stated that there had been an economic decline in their rural communities in the last five years.
Large gains were also seen for the Green Party, whose percentage share of the rural vote grew from 3 percent to 8 percent, while the Liberal Democrats lost 3 percentage points, moving from 13 percent to 10 percent.
Conservative MNP for Outer York Julian Sturdy warned the Government: “People rightly want a good job and an affordable home. The Levelling Up White Paper was the perfect opportunity to uncover why they can be so hard to find in the countryside, but rural issues were largely absent. I think that’s been noticed by people and needs to be addressed urgently.”
Mark Tufnell, President of the CL, said: “The Levelling Up White Paper showed precious little interest in those living and working in the countryside.
“No party should take rural voters for granted. 2019 showed us that the old tribal loyalties of politics are dissipating.
“Any party that comes up with a genuinely ambitious plan to grow the economy in rural areas would, I suspect, win a great deal of support.”
It followed an exclusive poll for the Sunday Express last week by Techne which showed that 63 percent did not think that enough had been done to tackle the cost of living crisis and saw Labour’s national lead increase by one point to 5 percent.
The Conservatives are staring at major losses in their strongest areas including a potential wipeout in London where they could lose control of Wandsworth, Barnett, Harrow and Sutton councils.
In their traditional strongholds they are facing catastrophic losses in Somerset, Wokingham, Crawley, Gosport, Newcastle under Lyme, St Albans, Nuneaton, Pendal and Castlepoint.
Meanwhile the new Red Wall seats recently won from Labour are also vulnerable wirth council seats being defended in Dudley, Sandwell, Sunderland, Sheffield, Solihull and Bury.

House passes $35-a-month insulin cap as Dems seek wider bill
WASHINGTON (AP) — The House on Thursday passed a bill capping the monthly cost of insulin at $35 for insured patients, part of an election-year push by Democrats for price curbs on prescription drugs at a time of rising inflation.
Experts say the legislation, which passed 232-193, would provide significant relief for privately insured patients with skimpier plans and for Medicare enrollees facing rising out-of-pocket costs for their insulin. Some could save hundreds of dollars annually, and all insured patients would get the benefit of predictable monthly costs for insulin. The bill would not help the uninsured.
But the Affordable Insulin Now Act will serve as a political vehicle to rally Democrats and force Republicans who oppose it into uncomfortable votes ahead of the midterms. For the legislation to pass Congress, 10 Republican senators would have to vote in favor. Democrats acknowledge they don’t have an answer for how that’s going to happen.
“If 10 Republicans stand between the American people being able to get access to affordable insulin, that’s a good question for 10 Republicans to answer,” said Rep. Dan Kildee, D-Mich., a cosponsor of the House bill. “Republicans get diabetes, too. Republicans die from diabetes.”
Public opinion polls have consistently shown support across party lines for congressional action to limit drug costs.
But Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., complained the legislation is only “a small piece of a larger package around government price controls for prescription drugs.” Critics say the bill would raise premiums and fails to target pharmaceutical middlemen seen as contributing to high list prices for insulin.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said Democrats could have a deal on prescription drugs if they drop their bid to authorize Medicare to negotiate prices. “Do Democrats really want to help seniors, or would they rather have the campaign issue?” Grassley said.
The insulin bill, which would take effect in 2023, represents just one provision of a much broader prescription drug package in President Joe Biden’s social and climate legislation.
In addition to a similar $35 cap on insulin, the Biden bill would authorize Medicare to negotiate prices for a range of drugs, including insulin. It would penalize drugmakers who raise prices faster than inflation and overhaul the Medicare prescription drug benefit to limit out-of-pocket costs for enrollees.
Biden’s agenda passed the House only to stall in the Senate because Democrats could not reach consensus. Party leaders haven’t abandoned hope of getting the legislation moving again, and preserving its drug pricing curbs largely intact.
The idea of a $35 monthly cost cap for insulin actually has a bipartisan pedigree. The Trump administration had created a voluntary option for Medicare enrollees to get insulin for $35, and the Biden administration continued it.
In the Senate, Republican Susan Collins of Maine and Democrat Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire are working on a bipartisan insulin bill. Georgia Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock has introduced legislation similar to the House bill, with the support of Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York.
Stung by criticism that Biden’s economic policies spur inflation, Democrats are redoubling efforts to show how they’d help people cope with costs. On Thursday, the Commerce Department reported a key inflation gauge jumped 6.4% in February compared with a year ago, the largest year-over-year rise since January 1982.
But experts say the House bill would not help uninsured people, who face the highest out-of-pocket costs for insulin. Also, people with diabetes often take other medications as well as insulin. That’s done to treat the diabetes itself, along with other serious health conditions often associated with the disease. The House legislation would not help with those costs, either. Collins says she’s looking for a way to help uninsured people through her bill.
About 37 million Americans have diabetes, and an estimated 6 million to 7 million use insulin to keep their blood sugars under control. It’s an old drug, refined and improved over the years, that has seen relentless price increases.
Steep list prices don’t reflect the rates insurance plans negotiate with manufacturers. But those list prices are used to calculate cost-sharing amounts that patients owe. Patients who can’t afford their insulin reduce or skip doses, a strategy born of desperation, which can lead to serious complications and even death.
Economist Sherry Glied of New York University said the market for insulin is a “total disaster” for many patients, particularly those with skimpy insurance plans or no insurance.
“This will make private insurance for people with diabetes a much more attractive proposition,” said Glied.

Nevada mother jailed for attempting to kill newborn, police say
LAS VEGAS (KOLO/Gray News) - A mother in the Las Vegas area is accused of attempting to kill her newborn baby after she feared her child was “not good” and “probably evil,” according to police.
Officers with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department report they were called to the emergency room at Mountain View Hospital overnight on March 27 when a child’s father had brought his newborn baby into the hospital for medical treatment.
The father also notified the hospital that the child’s mother refused to come into the hospital, but she was bleeding profusely, according to police.
Ashley Hollingsworth, 22, was later identified as the child’s mother and officers said they were able to make contact with her at a nearby intersection a couple of hours later.
Investigators learned that Hollingsworth had given birth in a guest bathroom at a relative’s house, where the couple was staying, about an hour before the two went to the hospital with the child.
Hollingsworth told police that on the way to the hospital, something triggered her to make her think that the baby was “probably evil.” According to an arrest report, she attempted to kill the baby twice by wrapping a blanket around the baby’s head and pinching the baby’s nose tight.
The 22-year-old told police that she felt like the baby “would start doing things” and “start making people kill each other.”
The child’s father was also in the car with Hollingsworth when heading to the hospital. He took the baby away from her, according to police.
Once arriving at the hospital, doctors initially believed the newborn may have suffered a brain bleed, but staff later determined the child likely did not suffer any injuries, police said.
A relative spoke to police later that day and told them Hollingsworth was acting abnormally before giving birth and that she mentioned that a devil was inside of her and attempting to kill her baby.
According to an arrest report, Hollingsworth told police that the baby’s eyes were black, had an abnormal scent that wasn’t good and was grunting. After this, she decided to wrap the blanket around the baby’s head.
Police said Hollingsworth had self-inflicted injuries to her face when she was found. And she told them she hit herself several times with a rock in an attempt to kill herself after she left the hospital.
