The Los Angeles Chargers found their franchise left tackle in the first round of last year’s NFL draft. It wouldn’t be a surprise if they addressed the right side of the offensive line this time.
Even though general manager Tom Telesco made considerable upgrades to the line last year – including the selection of Rashawn Slater with the 13th overall pick – the Bolts still have question marks at right tackle and right guard. The Chargers released oft-injured right tackle Bryan Bulaga before the start of free agency, and right guard Oday Aboushi played in only six games before suffering a season-ending knee injury.
”I think we’re in a much better spot than a year ago. We’re in a good position, but we’re definitely looking to strengthen that because we want to be a line of scrimmage team,” coach Brandon Staley said during the league meetings.
The Chargers could land an offensive tackle with the 17th pick in the first round. Mississippi State’s Charles Cross is likely to be off the board when Los Angeles is on the clock, but Northern Iowa’s Trevor Penning could still be there. Many scouts consider Penning the top run blocker in this year’s class.
If both Cross and Penning are gone, the focus could shift to the defensive line, where quality depth remains an issue.
Former Tampa Bay general manager Mark Dominik, now a draft analyst and host for SiriusXM, said focusing on the offensive and defensive lines is logical in the early rounds.
”I think offensive line makes a ton of sense because there’s not a tight end in the first round,” he said. ”If they don’t go offensive line, I think they’re gonna put a little bit more probably stock in the defensive interior and take advantage of some of the big boys on the board. So they’re looking at the trenches in my mind. It would make a lot of sense there.”
KEY DRAFT FOR TELESCO?
General manager Tom Telesco had a successful free agency period byre-signing wide receiver Mike Williams, acquiring linebacker Khalil Mack from the Chicago Bears and signing cornerback J.C. Jackson. Still, he needs to continue that momentum in the draft. Under Telesco, the Chargers have made the postseason twice and posted a winning record only four times since his being hired in 2013.
Telesco hit on Slater last year and quarterback Justin Herbert in 2020, but his selections after the first round have been average at best. Safety Derwin James, the 17th overall pick in 2018, is the only remaining player on the roster from that draft, and the 2019 class has failed to produce a breakthrough starter.
RUNNING BACK DEPTH
The Chargers have selected a running back on the third day the last two years, but Joshua Kelley and Larry Rountree haven’t been able to emerge as a second option to share carries with Austin Ekeler. They could re-sign Justin Jackson, but he has been plagued by injuries for most of his four seasons.
Ekeler scored 20 touchdowns last season and averaged 4.42 yards per carry, but in four of the six games he had at least 15 carries, the average fell under 4 yards.
FRONT SEVEN NEEDS
During his season-ending news conference, Telesco said that he was surprised with how much the Chargers struggled on defense. Staley made the Rams into the top-ranked defense in 2020, but the Chargers were 23rd in 2021. They allowed 27 points per game, which tied for third worst in the league and ranked near the bottom in run defense and third-down conversions.
Mack and Joey Bosa on the edge give the Chargers one of the top pass-rushing duos in the league, but they lack depth on the defensive line and at linebacker. Georgia defensive tackle Jordan Davis and Utah linebacker Devin Lloyd would provide help immediately if the Bolts decided to focus on defense in the first round.
THE LATE SHOW
Los Angeles has 10 picks in the draft, including six in the last two rounds. They have two selections in the sixth round (195, 214) and four in the seventh (236, 254, 255, 260). Four of the picks are compensatory selections.
The Chargers have only one pick on Friday – No. 79 in the third round – after sending a second-rounder this year and a sixth next year to Chicago for Mack.
They begin Saturday with one pick each in the fourth and fifth rounds (123, 160).

Travis Scott has appeared on a widely-available single for the first time since last year’s Astroworld festival, where a tragic crowd crush led to the death of 10 people and many more injuries.
‘Hold That Heat’ is a collaboration between 808 Mafia producer Southside, rapper Future and Scott, and arrives alongside a Philip Andelman-directed video that features Scott holding an alligator on a chain.
It marks Scott’s second appearance since the events of Astroworld back in November. The rapper featured on Kanye West‘s ‘Donda 2’ track ‘Pablo’, also alongside Future. As with the rest of ‘Donda 2’, the song is only officially available for listening through West’s Donda Stem Player device.
Watch the video for ‘Hold That Heat’ below:
10 people were killed – with hundreds more injured – as a result of a crowd surge that took place during Scott’s headline set at Astroworld in Houston on November 5, 2021. The following month, the cause of death for all 10 victims was ruled as accidental compressive asphyxiation.
In December, Scott gave his first interview since the Astroworld tragedy, telling Charlamage Tha God he had a “responsibility to figure out what happened” during the incident. Scott’s response was criticised by family members of some of the victims of the tragedy, saying the rapper should have been more proactive about stopping the set.
Last month, he announced the launch of his multi-million dollar Project HEAL initiative, and said he would “always honor the victims of the Astroworld tragedy”. The rapper was accused of violating a gag order by announcing the initiative. Scott is currently facing hundreds of combined lawsuits over the events that unfolded at Astroworld.
The rapper has slowly been reappearing in public life since the tragedy took place. He reportedly performed a short set at a private pre-Oscars party late last month in Bel Air, and a brief DJ set at a Coachella afterparty over the weekend.
A day prior to Astroworld, Scott released two singles, ‘Escape Plan’ and ‘Mafia’. It’s unclear if either song will feature on the rapper’s forthcoming album ‘Utopia’, details of which have not been revealed. Earlier this month, billboards teasing the album appeared in California, reading: “PSST……. Looking for UTOPIA? WRONG WAY!” along with the logo of Scott’s Cactus Jack label. | https://www.nme.com/en_au/news/music/travis-scott-hold-that-heat-first-single-since-astroworld-tragedy-3210398 | 2022-04-23T01:03:43Z | https://www.nme.com/en_au/news/music/travis-scott-hold-that-heat-first-single-since-astroworld-tragedy-3210398 | false | 4 |
“Heavy is the head that wears the crown”, goes the old adage, and, in the terms of the Irish elk that adorns the cover of Fontaines D.C.’s third album ‘Skinty Fia’, that appears to be true. The animal was one of the strongest deer that ever lived and a leader for its species, yet went extinct 4,000 years ago when their antlers became so large that they could no longer hold themselves up. The decision to make this proud, exhibitionist creature the artwork of this record, however, is an apt one: like its songs, it looks strong, gleaming and immaculate from a distance, but overwhelmed and troubled if you get too close.
‘Skinty Fia’ translates from Irish as “the damnation of the deer”, and the Dublin quintet have described the Irish elk as representative of their ever-evolving relationship to their country’s culture. With the exception of guitarist Conor Curley, the band relocated to London two years ago. “It’s difficult to stay in touch with Irish culture while you’re not there,” drummer Tom Coll told NME in this week’s cover story. “You grapple with guilt.” ‘Skinty Fia’ unpacks the emotional intensity of that major life change, resulting in their most experimental music yet.
Since 2019’s charged and spiky debut ‘Dogrel’, Fontaines D.C. have made snarling guitar music wedged firmly in the post-punk framework, with busy, ricocheting arrangements and recurring sounds that cut deep and sharp like a knife. Yet frontman Grian Chatten’s songwriting – which has previously traversed weighty topics from Ireland’s income inequality to youthful disillusionment – has always been dense with greater possibilities than his contemporaries, whiplashing between the future and past of his country. And during a pandemic that tragically decimated large swathes of the music industry, Fontaines D.C.’s status only rose; 2020 follow-up ‘A Hero’s Death’ hit Number Two in the UK, and led the group to a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Album.
Recorded live to tape over a two week period, the recording process matched that of its predecessors, but the sonic shifts on ‘Skinty Fia’ are subtly experimental; the album is the sound of a band stretching into new shapes. The title track sees them fall through a trapdoor into a murky trip hop party, its percussive sections prickling like goosebumps as they fold in and over each other. It chips off some of the grittier edges of the band’s sound without losing their methodical and dark approach to a melody.
On past releases, Chatten has delivered his lyrics breathlessly, as if the thoughts were coming urgent and fast. Haunting lead single ‘Jackie Down The Line’, with its bassy shudders and spikes, sees him exert full control as he delivers a big pop hook on the chorus, before sending his voice out into echoes on the bridge. There are other intriguing left-turns, too: ‘The Couple Across The Way’ paints a heart-wrenching image of a deeply fractured relationship atop an accordion section, while the melody of ‘How Cold Love Is’ is deliberately circular and repetitive, its guitar riffs twisting around and stopping short for to make way for intermittent moments of reverent silence.
Anxiety has long lived in Fontaines D.C.’s music, but it grows into a sizable mass on ‘Skinty Fia’. The band turn their focus outwards, excavating issues that have affected the Irish diaspora at large. Propulsive opener ‘In ár gCroíthe go deo’ was inspired by a story in The Irish Post about the late Margaret Keane, whose family planned to have the titular epitaph engraved on her headstone. Yet they were challenged by the Church of England on the basis that the Gaelic phrase could be deemed “political” without an English translation – and this song communicates the hurt that the band felt at that decision by assembling swarming group vocals into a fragile yet stunning climax.
Later, on the powerful and searing ‘I Love You’, Chatten puts himself on trial, dissecting his own worries before addressing Ireland’s young people. The five-minute centrepiece opens with a Stone Roses-style bass rumble that quickens and intensifies as he begins to pinpoint the failings of the unelected coalition of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael that has formed the current Irish government since 2020, as well as nodding to Ireland’s growing housing issues and high rates of youth suicide. “Flowers read like broadsheets / Every young man wants to die”, he repeats over thundering drums.
By honouring his generation’s rage, the track allows Chatten to shout back at his politically dysfunctional home, but also contemplate the pain of moving away from it; no matter how tormented this album gets, you can feel ‘Skinty Fia’’s wounded heart beating throughout. The fight for a better Ireland deserves songs that mirror the depth of the crisis, and in its endlessly captivating glory, ‘Skinty Fia’ rises triumphantly to the task.

SEATTLE (AP)Kole Calhoun lined a two-out RBI double to score Adolis Garcia in ninth, Garcia made a terrific diving catch in the bottom of the inning and the Texas Rangers rallied from an early five-run deficit to beat the Seattle Mariners 8-6 Thursday night.
Texas snapped a five-game losing streak and avoided being swept by the Mariners by taking advantage of some sloppy defense by Seattle and getting Calhoun’s key hit.
”We’ve got good veteran leadership in here. We’ve got talented young guys. We got guys that are hungry to go out there and play and prove who they are in the big leagues,” Calhoun said. ”So it’s a fun group to be around. I know we’re not off to the best start, but it’s wins like that that you can build off and teach a team a lot about who they are.”
Garcia walked with two outs in the ninth against Seattle’s Drew Steckenrider. Calhoun followed by a lining a 2-2 pitch down the right-field line, and Garcia scored from first without a throw.
Nathanial Lowe followed with an RBI single off Steckenrider (0-1) for a two-run lead.
Joe Barlow (1-0) earned the victory by striking out Tom Murphy with the bases loaded to end the eighth inning and pitched a perfect ninth.
Garcia helped him close it out from center field by sprinting back and to his right and extending fully for Julio Rodriguez’s line drive for the second out.
Garcia said he looks forward to chances for highlight plays like that.
”Adolis’ play in the ninth was Superman,” Rangers manager Chris Woodward said.
Seattle scored five times in the first inning against Texas starter Taylor Hearn on the strength of home runs by Ty France and J.P. Crawford. But the Mariners did nothing else offensively until the eighth inning when Eugenio Suarez lined a two-out RBI single off Matt Bush to score Adam Frazier with the tying run.
The Mariners were shaky defensively with three errors, including two by shortstop J.P. Crawford in the fifth inning that helped lead to four unearned runs.
”That’s all on me. If I make those two plays, we’re out of there,” Crawford said.
Crawford’s first error in the inning led to Eli White scoring on Corey Seager’s sacrifice fly.
Crawford’s second error allowed Mitch Garver to reach with two outs. Garcia doubled off Seattle starter Marco Gonzales to pull the Rangers within 5-4 and Nick Solak hit the first pitch from Gonzales into the left-field bullpens for a two-run homer to give Texas a 6-5 lead.
It was the second time in his career Crawford had two errors in a game.
”We should have won today. That game is on me,” Crawford said.
Gonzales pitched 4 2/3 innings and gave up six hits, but only two of the six runs were earned. He also struck out six, but it was his second outing this season that spiraled after a defensive mistake.
”In those times I take pride in being able to move forward and get us back in the dugout and unfortunately I wasn’t able to do that,” Gonzales said. ”So I put that on myself to be able to continue to make pitches and unfortunately I couldn’t make that happen.”
TRAINER’S ROOM
Rangers: Texas will be without RHP Jon Gray for at least one start after he sprained his left knee. Gray was injured during his start Tuesday night against Seattle. Gray said the injury happened on the first pitch of the game when he stepped off the mound reacting to a fake bunt attempt. He finished five innings against the Mariners.
Mariners: Seattle got a bit of good news on as no other players or members of the coaching staff tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday after several days of players and staff afflicted by the virus. Manager Scott Servais continued to take part in meetings and game planning virtually, acting manager Kristopher Negron said.
UP NEXT
Rangers: RHP Glenn Otto (0-0, 0.00) is expected to be brought up from Triple-A Round Rock to start Friday night against Oakland in the opener of a three-game series. Otto made his major league debut last season with the Rangers, going 0-3 with a 9.26 ERA in six starts.
Mariners: RHP Chris Flexen (0-2, 5.23) starts as Seattle opens a series against Kansas city. Flexen allowed three runs in six innings but took the loss in his last start against Houston.

What is a stock code and why?
A stock code It is an indicator of how the price of a set of assets is formed.It therefore collects data from various companies or sectors of a segment of the market.
These indicators are mainly used by the stock markets of different countries of the world They can each be integrated by companies with specific needs There are some indices that take into account only a few stocks or consider hundreds of stocks to determine their value, such as homogeneous market capitalization or belonging to the same type of industry.
Stock market indices are active An indicator of stock market confidence, business confidence, the health of the national and global economy, and the effectiveness of investing in stocks. And shares of the company. In general, if investors do not have confidence, stock costs will fall.
They also work to measure The performance of a property manager And allow investors to compare returns to risk; Measuring financial asset opportunities or creating portfolios.
These types of indicators began to be used in the late 19th century Journalist Charles H. Dove. He meticulously observed how company shares rose or fell in price together, so he developed two indices: one to 20 railroad companies (since they were the largest industry at the time), as well as the operations of 12 types of businesses.
Currently there are various indicators in our economy They can be grouped according to their geographical location, departments, company size or asset typeFor example, the US Nasdaq Index is made up of 100 major companies associated with technology such as Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), Facebook (FB), Alphabet (GOOG), and Tesla (TSLA). , Nvidia (NVDA), PayPal (POPL), Comcast (CMCSA), Adobe (ATPE).
How to read a code?
Each stock index has its own calculation method, But the key factor is the market capitalization of each company that integrates it. This is obtained by multiplying the day value of the title in the stock market relative to the total number of shares held by investors.
Companies listed on the stock exchange are mandatory Present the balance Its composition. This report should be submitted every three or six months as appropriate.
When reading the stock index, one should also be careful about its changes over time. Current indices will always open with a fixed value based on stock prices On your start date, but not everyone follows this method. Therefore, it can lead to failures.
If one code gets 500 points in one day and the other gets 20 points, the first index may seem to work better. However, if the previous day started at 30,000 points and the other at 300 points, it can be assumed that in percentage terms, the gains for the latter were higher.
These are the main stock indices

It took the Russian military over a week to acknowledge that one serviceman died and two dozen others were missing after one of its flagship cruisers sank in the Black Sea, reportedly the result of a Ukrainian missiles strike.
The acknowledgment happened after families started searching desperately for their sons who, they said, served on the ship and did not come home, and relatives are posing sharp questions about Russia’s initial statement that the entire crew was evacuated.
Russia’s Defense Ministry said Friday in a terse announcement that one crew member died and 27 went missing after a fire damaged the flagship Moskva cruiser last week, while 396 others were evacuated. The ministry did not offer any explanation for its earlier claims that the full crew got off the vessel before it sank.
The loss of the Moskva, one of three missile cruisers of its kind in Russia’s fleet, was shrouded in mystery from the moment it was first reported early on April 14. Ukraine said it hit the ship with missiles. The Russian Defense Ministry would not acknowledge an attack, saying only that a fire broke out on the vessel after ammunition detonated, causing serious damage.
Moscow even insisted that the ship remained afloat and was being towed to a port, only to admit hours later that it sank after all — in a storm. No images of the ship, or of the supposed rescue operation, were made available.
Only several days later, the Russian military released a short and mostly silent video showing rows of sailors, supposedly from the Moskva, reporting to their command in the Crimean city of Sevastopol. The footage offered little clarity on how many sailors were actually evacuated to safety.
Soon came the questions. An emotional social media post by Dmitry Shkrebets alleging that his son, a conscript who served as a cook on Moskva, was missing, quickly went viral.
The military “said the entire crew was evacuated. It’s a lie! A blatant and cynical lie!” Shkrebets, a resident of Crimea, wrote on VK, a popular Russian social media platform, on April 17, three days after the ship went down.
“My son, a conscript, as the very commanders of the Moskva cruiser told me, is not listed among the wounded and the dead and is added to the list of those missing ... Guys, missing in the open sea?!”
Similar posts quickly followed from other parts of Russia. The Associated Press found social media posts looking for at least 13 other young men who reportedly served on the Moskva whose families could not find them.
One woman spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity, as she feared for her son’s safety. She said her son was a conscript and had been aboard the Moskva for several months before telling her in early February that the ship was about to depart for drills. She lost touch with him for several weeks after that.
The news about Russia invading Ukraine worried her, she said, and she started reading the news online and on social media every day. The last time they spoke on the phone was in mid-March. He was on the ship but did not say where it was.
She didn’t start looking for him until a day after she learned about trouble aboard the Moskva, because official statements from the Defense Ministry said the crew was evacuated. But no one called or messaged her about her son’s whereabouts, and she started to get agitated.
Calls to various military officials and hotlines got her nowhere at first, but she persisted. A call she made on the way to a grocery store brought bleak news — that her son was listed as missing and that there was little chance he survived in the cold water.
“I said ‘But you said you rescued everyone,’ and he said ‘I only have the lists’. I screamed ‘What are you doing?!’“ she told the AP. “I got hysterical, right at the bus stop (where I was standing), I felt like the ground was giving way under my feet. I started shaking.”
The families’ accounts could not be independently verified. But they went largely uncontested by Russian authorities.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov refused to comment and redirected the question to the Defense Ministry when asked by the AP during one of his daily conference calls with reporters about families challenging the official statements about sailors being evacuated.
The Defense Ministry did not comment on the outcry either — until Friday, when it finally revealed that 27 crew members were missing and one was confirmed dead. The ministry still did not acknowledge an attack on the ship, however.
Political analyst Abbas Gallyamov says the sinking of the Moskva is a major political blow for President Vladimir Putin, not so much because of the outcry from families, but because it hurts Putin’s image of military might.
“This trait, might, is under attack now because we’re now talking about the devastation of the fleet,” Gallyamov said. But the families’ woes underscores “that one shouldn’t trust the Russian authorities.”
In the meantime, some families with missing sons plan to continue seeking the truth.
“Now we will turn to figuring out for how long one can ‘go missing’ in the open sea,” Shkrebets posted Friday. | https://www.thestar.com/news/world/2022/04/22/sailors-families-seek-answers-about-russian-ship-sinking.html | 2022-04-23T01:23:06Z | https://www.thestar.com/news/world/2022/04/22/sailors-families-seek-answers-about-russian-ship-sinking.html | false | 26 |

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson was suspended one game and fined an undisclosed amount by Major League Baseball on Friday for giving fans the middle finger during a game Wednesday in Cleveland.
Anderson is appealing the ban and remained in the lineup hitting leadoff Friday night at Minnesota.
Anderson had three errors in the first two innings of Chicago's 11-1 loss Wednesday in the opener of a doubleheader. The frustrated 28-year-old made the gesture toward a fan while out in the field.
It's the second time MLB has suspended Anderson this season. He served a two-game ban on opening weekend for making contact with umpire Tim Timmons during the ninth inning of a game on Sept. 27. Anderson successfully appealed that suspension down from three games.
Anderson is batting .333 with five RBIs and a home run heading into this week's series in Minneapolis. He made his first All-Star team in 2021 and finished the season with a .309 average, 17 home runs and 61 RBIs to help lead the White Sox to an AL Central title.
Anderson has five errors this season, all in his last two games. He committed just 10 all of last season.

Letters: A five star review – if it’s true
[Re: Fake reviews and ‘subscription traps’ could be illegal under new proposals, April 20]
The watchdog is finally baring its teeth on a hugely important issue for consumers that has not been properly addressed for years: fake reviews.
A fine of 10 per cent of global turnover for those that fall foul is a big deal. This would be devastating for businesses who can’t possibly control what gets posted on an open reviews platform, even if they can control what’s on their websites.
It’s still unclear who is accountable: the platforms hosting the reviews or the businesses themselves? The platforms that gather, process and authenticate reviews should be the ones responsible for verifying reviews or labelling whether they’re from a verified buyer. They can easily substantiate this, so there is no excuse for not having strict verification processes in place.
It could be months, or even years, before these measures are passed in Parliament as part of the Consumer and Competition Bill. We need to act fast, following in the EU’s footsteps on this. Next month, the EU’s Better Enforcement and Modernisation Directive is being introduced banning businesses from using reviews that aren’t left by a verified customer. UK consumers deserve the same level of protection.

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — The U.S. is sending more resources to Ukraine as Russia continues to combat forces in the Donbas region. The State Department says the sanctions are hitting Russia hard economically.
“This is one of the most comprehensive and meaningful set of sanctions we’ve placed on any country, but particularly a country with an economy as large as Russia’s,” State Department Counselor Derek Chollet said.
Chollet believes the sanctions will have an impact on the Russian invasion.
“It’s going to be harder to create and re-supply itself in terms of the weapons that it’s currently using in the battlefield,” Chollet added.
The U.S is also helping in the refugee effort. The Biden administration is launching a new program to help Ukrainian refugees find sponsors here in the U.S.
“We’ll be seeking to do whatever we can to help Americans as they are going to contribute in whatever way they can, to help Ukrainian refugees,” Chollet said.
The process will start on Monday and allow individuals or organizations to declare they are prepared to support refugees financially.
“I think this is a moment where just as there are so many American communities that were built by people who fled conflict in Europe and elsewhere decades ago, this is another one of those moments,” Chollet said.
And Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby says the U.S will continue helping those still in Ukraine with military support.
“We will continue to look for innovative and creative solutions to help Ukraine defend itself,” Kirby told reporters. | https://www.wwlp.com/news/world/biden-administration-to-launch-new-program-to-help-ukrainian-refugees-amidst-sanctions-and-military-support/ | 2022-04-23T01:48:21Z | https://www.wwlp.com/news/world/biden-administration-to-launch-new-program-to-help-ukrainian-refugees-amidst-sanctions-and-military-support/ | false | 12 |

NFL Mock Draft Roundup 6.0: Packers Trade Up to No. 8
GREEN BAY, Wis. – You probably are aware that the Green Bay Packers haven’t drafted a first-round receiver since 2002.
But did you know they’ve drafted only two top-10 receivers in the Super Bowl era? In 1978, they grabbed Hall of Famer James Lofton. In 1988, they grabbed should-have-been Hall of Famer Sterling Sharpe.
In a first-round mock draft for CBS, Tom Fornelli had the Packers giving up both of their first-round picks in a trade with Atlanta. Having rocketed up to No. 8, they selected Ohio State receiver Garrett Wilson. Hall of Fame would be great; the Packers would settle for a Pro Bowl or two.
“The Packers are in win-now mode with an aging great at QB, and they're in serious need of WR help after dealing Davante Adams,” Fornelli reasoned. “So, instead of waiting to see what's around late in the first, they trade their two picks to a rebuilding Atlanta team to grab the top WR on their board before somebody else can.”
The trade is more than do-able. Based on the Rich Hill trade-value chart, Green Bay’s two first-round picks are almost equal to the Giants’ selection at No. 5 overall.
Check out the full mock to see who would have been available at Green Bay’s slots at Nos. 22 and 28.
Sporting News Three-Round Mock: Two Weapons for Rodgers
Having lost Davante Adams and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Aaron Rodgers needs weapons if he’s finally going to get the Green Bay Packers back to the Super Bowl.
In a three-round mock draft for Sporting News, Vinnie Iyer picked two sure-handed threats.
At No. 22 overall, Iyer went with Penn State receiver Jahan Dotson over USC’s Drake London and Arkansas’ Treylon Burks.
“The Packers should think about wide receiver foremost in the first round after trading No. 1 Davante Adams to acquire this pick,” Iyer wrote. “They would consider Drake London, too, but Dotson can be the speedy vertical threat for Rodgers to replace free-agent departure Marquez Valdes-Scantling.”
Iyer could have gone with receiver again at No. 28 – Burks and London were still on the board – but he gave All-Pro linebacker De’Vondre Campbell an explosive sidekick.
Round 2 was dedicated to the defensive with an outside linebacker and lineman. In Round 3, Iyer went with Iowa State tight end Charlie Kolar. Kolar’s not explosive but he’s big and catches everything in sight.
“The Packers brought back Robert Tonyan but they need to create better downfield receiving opportunities in 12 personnel for Rodgers, and Kolar has intriguing wideout hybrid skills,” Iyer wrote.
Draft Network’s Odds-Based Mock
The Draft Network’s Jamie Eisner took a fresh approach. Eisner’s mock is based on available betting odds for teams, players, position groups, etc. (You can read the mock and methodology here.)
At No. 22, Eisner said the odds favor Arkansas receiver Treylon Burks.
Is this finally the year the Packers draft a first-round wide receiver? Sportsbooks certainly believe so. Wide receiver is a heavy favorite to be Green Bay’s first selection. Burks has the highest over/under of any of the remaining wide receiver prospects.
GB: -165 to draft WR
Burks: O/U 23.5
Implied Odds To Go R1: 87%
A defensive lineman, with an over/under draft slot of 29.5, went at No. 29.
Draft Network Mock: Packers Going to London
Sticking with The Draft Network, Kyle Crabbs’ “What Would I Do” first-round mock resulted in the Packers landing USC receiver Drake London with the 22nd pick.
Why did Crabbs go with London? “Because Green Bay feels like they're going to continue to feature their two gifted backs alongside Aaron Rodgers—and that makes a lot of what Drake London can do fit well in my mind. London as a red zone threat, quick game receiver who can win after the catch and play physical as a complement in the running game all add up to be the ideal match for Green Bay given how the board fell here.”
At No. 28, Crabbs grabbed one of the Big Ten’s superb pass rushers.
Draft Wire Three-Round Mock: Another Vote for Burks
In his latest three-round prognostication, Luke Easterling of USA Today’s Draft Wire started with Arkansas receiver Treylon Burks.
“After trading away Davante Adams, the Packers should spend this pick trying to replace him,” Easterling wrote. “Burks is big, athletic and physical, with impressive leaping ability that led to some highlight-reel catches against SEC competition. He’s exactly what Aaron Rodgers needs after losing his favorite target.”
The other first-rounder grabbed an athletic offensive tackle whom Easterling called a “pro-ready blocker.”
Rodgers got another pass-catching threat in the second round, with No. 53 being spent on Colorado State tight end Trey McBride. The top tight end in the draft class caught 90 passes (with only three drops) in 2021.
At No. 59, the Packers got a defensive tackle that will provide the twitch defensive line coach Jerry Montgomery is looking for. And the third-round pick provides critical depth at outside linebacker.
Maurice Jones-Drew's NFL.com Mock: Olave at No. 22
In his latest mock draft for NFL.com, the former star running back mocked Ohio State receiver Chris Olave to Green Bay at No. 22.
“The Sammy Watkins signing helps fill the void left by Davante Adams' departure, but Aaron Rodgers needs more firepower,” Jones-Drew wrote. “Olave's precise route running and speed could make him a Rodgers favorite this fall.”
No. 28 was used on the new starting right tackle.

With a melded recipes herein comes one of those hard to foul tamarine and bh Florida releases samples from math textbooks it rejected for its public schools
Florida education officials have released four images from some of the math textbooks the state rejected this month, citing what they said were references to critical race theory or other "prohibited" topics.
The state Department of Education last week rejected 54 of 132 math textbooks publishers had submitted. The books did not comply with its Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking Standards or were rejected for including critical race theory (CRT), social emotional learning (SEL) and more, it said.
Some conservative groups claim critical race theory and social-emotional learning are used to indoctrinate students.
Among the images released this week from books the state said were not adopted are references to "racial prejudice" and SEL. Which books they're from and their full context isn't clear.
Department spokesperson Cassie Palelis did not identify the books and referred CNN to the agency website showing "a few examples" that were "received from the public." It's unclear exactly what the specific concerns were with the four examples.
"At this time, those who have submitted textbooks for consideration still own the material (i.e. their content is copyrighted and we are unable to release it to the public at this time, pending review)," she wrote.
The examples mention "measuring racial prejudice" and the "Implicit Association Test."
Another says the "SEL Objective" is to help students "build proficiency with social awareness as they practice with empathizing with classmates."
The fourth includes a word or phrase that has been redacted. It also says, "This feature is designed to build student agency by focusing on students' social and emotional learning."
The images were posted with a disclaimer that reads, in part: "These examples do not represent an exhaustive list of input received by the Department. The Department is continuing to give publishers the opportunity to remediate all deficiencies identified during the review to ensure the broadest selection of high quality instructional materials are available to the school districts and Florida's students."
Governor says he wants to focus on academics
SEL helps students "develop healthy identities, manage emotions and achieve personal and collective goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain supportive relationships, and make responsible and caring decisions," the Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning says.
More than a dozen states have set standards for teaching SEL in grade schools, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. But as more states consider SEL strategies, conservative groups have claimed critical race theory is embedded in it.
Opponents argue CRT is based on Marxism and is a threat to the American way of life. But scholars who study it say it explores how a history of inequality and racism impact American society today.
Florida officials want to "focus the education on the actual strong academic performance of the students," Gov. Ron DeSantis said Monday.
"We don't want things like math to have, you know, some of these other concepts introduced. It's not been proven to be effective, and quite frankly, it takes our eye off the ball," the governor told reporters at a news conference.
Andrew Spar, president of the Florida Education Association, called for transparency on how the state's department of education made the decision, including examples of "objectionable" content and details about those who reviewed the textbooks and their qualifications. | https://www.wapt.com/article/florida-samples-from-rejected-math-textbooks/39796589 | 2022-04-23T02:15:01Z | https://www.wapt.com/article/florida-samples-from-rejected-math-textbooks/39796589 | false | 1 |

(CNS): The RCIPS is asking for the public’s assistance to find Justin Kyle Jackson (23) and Gail Michelle Ross (45), who are both wanted for breaching the conditions of their release from prison and are being recalled to continue serving their sentences.

Anyone who sees Jackson should not approach him but should call 911 immediately, the RCIPS said. No details were given about Ross’s sentence or crimes.
According to the Police Act (2021 Revision), it is an offence to obstruct, mislead or act in such a way as to prevent the apprehension of a person who has committed an offence. Anyone prosecuted under this section could be liable on conviction to a fine of $5,000 or imprisonment for two years or both
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Jackson or Ross is asked to call the George Town Police Station at 949-4222 or call 911.
Jackson and Ross, who are not believed to be connected to each other, are encouraged to turn themselves into the Cayman Islands Detention Centre, the nearest police station, or the prison at any time, day or night.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Austin Slater smacked a three-run homer as part of a seven-run second inning against struggling Washington starter Patrick Corbin, and the San Francisco Giants cruised past the Nationals 7-1 on Friday night.
Slater, hitting .105 coming into the game, lined Corbin's 2-1 sinker to right center with one out to make it 4-0.
Brandon Crawford doubled leading off the second and then capped the scoring with a three-run double just beyond the reach of a diving Lane Thomas in left-center. That chased Corbin (0-3), who allowed seven runs on seven hits and three walks while recording just five outs.
The left-hander who helped the Nationals win the 2019 World Series has been one of the worst starting pitchers in the majors since. Corbin went 9-16 with a 5.82 ERA last season and Friday's outing sent his ERA to 11.20 in three starts this year.
Jakob Junis (1-0), called up earlier in the day from Triple-A Sacramento, tossed five scoreless innings of relief in his Giants debut. He allowed three hits and struck out four. Opener Sam Long pitched two scoreless innings.
Maikel Franco hit his second homer of the season for Washington. Juan Soto singled in the first and his third-inning double was his 500th career hit, but he was thrown out trying to stretch it into a triple.
Four Washington relievers combined for 7 1/3 scoreless innings.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Giants: RHP Anthony DeSclafani (right ankle inflammation) was placed on the 10-day injured list. ... OF Steven Duggar (left oblique strain) was placed on the 60-day IL. ... OF LaMonte Wade Jr. (left knee inflammation) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday.
Nationals: RHP Stephen Strasburg (thoracic outlet syndrome surgery last year) and RHP Joe Ross (right elbow bone spur removal) each threw a 30-pitch bullpen session.
UP NEXT
Giants LH Alex Wood (1-0, 1.93 ERA) is 5-4 with a 2.77 ERA in 13 career starts against Washington, the last coming with the Reds in 2019 when he allowed three runs on six hits over five innings in a loss. The Nationals haven't announced a starting pitcher for Saturday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MANOJ BAJPAYEE: Today, on April 23, actor Manoj Bajpayee turns a year older. The man is known for his versatile and method acting. From little roles in films to exhibiting his talent by playing the protagonists, he has ruled many hearts. After a few minor appearances in movies, the actor rose to prominence as Bhiku Mhatre in Ram Gopal Varma’s 1998 crime drama Satya.
Since then, he has received numerous awards, including Filmfare, Dada Saheb Phalke, and National Awards. In addition, he received the Padma Shri for his services to the cinema.
On the actor’s birthday, let’s look back at some of his most iconic roles with shades of grey:
- Satya
It will not be fair to discuss his shady role without mentioning Bhikhu Mhatre, which is at the top of any list that discusses Manoj Bajpayee’s work. The film had such an influence on people that after seeing him in the Gangster role, many began to address him by his character name in real life. - Gangs of Wasseypur -1
Released in the year 2012, the crime action film directed by Anurag Kashyap focuses on the Dhanbad coal mafia and the underlying power struggles, politics, and fury amongst three mafia families. Sardar Khan, without a doubt, is one of the darkest characters Bajpayee has ever played. He appeared on the big screen as a lusty, immoral, and criminal character. - Raajneeti
Manoj Bajpayee portrays Veerendra Pratap, a candidate for Chief Minister from the Rashtrawadi party, the son of Bhanu Pratap, and the major antagonist in Prakash Jha’s thriller drama depicting Indian politics. Bajpayee played an ambitious, power-hungry politician in this film, which also starred Ranbir Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, and Ajay Devgn. This film is inspired by the epic Mahabharata, but it is a unique rendition taking place in the political world. - Satyagraha
Bajpayee plays a corrupt, power-hungry politician who is willing to go to any length to achieve his objectives in this dark political thriller. Bajpayee has portrayed the character’s malice to perfection. The film mainly discusses the widespread corruption in the government. - Aarakshan
Manoj Bajpayee portrayed Mithilesh Singh in the 2011 film about the challenges surrounding India’s reservation system. He plays the role of a henchman for a fraudulent state minister and is the key brain behind corrupt coaching institutions that charge exorbitant fees but ultimately teach zero.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Kris Jenner became emotional while recalling a volatile 2016 argument she heard about between her son Rob Kardashian and his then-girlfriend Blac Chyna that traumatized him.
Jenner testified for the second day from the witness stand in a Los Angeles courtroom on Friday that she believed Chyna attempted to murder her son. At the time, she said she was told that Chyna pointed a gun at Kardashian’s head, tried to strangle him with a phone cord and hit him with a metal pole while intoxicated.
“It was complete chaos. It was scary,” said Jenner, the 66-year-old “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” matriarch. She’s the first of four defendants -– a group that also includes her daughters Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian and Kylie Jenner –- to testify in Blac Chyna’s $100 million lawsuit alleging the women conspired to have her reality show “Rob & Chyna” canceled and damage her celebrity status.
Earlier this week, much of Chyna’s testimony dealt with the fight, and the celebration of the show’s renewal the night before. Chyna testified that she was joking with her fiance when she wrapped a phone cord around his neck and grabbed his unloaded gun off a nightstand.
But Kris Jenner said putting a gun to her son’s head was “not a joke.”
“He was a mess,” she recalled while talking to her son after the incident on Dec. 15, 2016. “I could only imagine how he felt. … This was a horrible situation. I was heartbroken.”
Kris Jenner began to shed tears while remembering the Rob Kardashian-Chyna spat, which happened months after Kim Kardashian was robbed at gunpoint in Paris. She said knowing that both her children had a gun pointed at them within the same year was traumatizing for her.
“While Rob’s situation was going on, Kim had just been dealing with Paris,” she said. “He had a gun put at his head, and she was held at gunpoint and thrown into a bathtub. That’s a lot to take as a mother.”
While on stand, Kris Jenner said her boyfriend Corey Gamble separated her son and Chyna –- who she says smashed an expensive television in the master bedroom. But after Gamble pulled them apart and asked Rob Kardashian to leave, she was told that Chyna smashed a chair on the windshield of her son’s car.
In her questioning, Chyna’s lawyer, Lynne Ciani, asked why Jenner or anyone else did not call the police. Jenner said her security team – former Los Angeles Police Department officers – helped diffuse the intense ordeal.
Kris Jenner claims she wanted to help Chyna. She said arguments between the couple were an “ongoing theme” in their relationship that included alcoholic beverages and drugs.
“We didn’t put Chyna on the show and give her this fabulous life to be taken away,” she said. “We created other opportunities. I was hopeful that it would be OK. That’s why I didn’t call (the police).”
Ciani tried to gain clarity about a text message sent from Kris Jenner to “Rob & Chyna” showrunner that read Chyna “beat the (expletive) out of Rob’s face.” She said the phrase was used as a figure of speech.
Kris Jenner compared her reference to Will Smith slapping Chris Rock during the recent Oscars.
“It’s like you’re at an awards show and you get slapped,” she said while drawing some laughter from jurors and some others in the courtroom while her daughters’ facial expressions remained stoic.
Ciani asked about another text she sent to the showrunner that read “We need to ditch this (expletive)” after her son’s altercation with the Chyna. Jenner said she was very angry and upset at the time, but she claims she never had any involvement in hampering Chyna’s time on the show.
“It’s not my proudest moment, but it was how I felt at the time,” she said.
Chyna’s lawsuit, filed in 2017, alleges defamation and interference with contracts. It accuses Kris Jenner of being a ringleader who used her daughters in a campaign to defame Chyna as abusive to Rob Kardashian.
Kris Jenner would be an executive producer on the couple’s “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” spinoff, “Rob & Chyna,” which premiered on the E! Network later in September of 2016. She said she had nothing to do with the network deciding to not pick up the reality show for a second season.
With Kris Jenner being her son’s manager, she said she would receive a letter saying the show was “green lit.” But she says they never got a letter exercising the option.
Chyna and Rob Kardashian share a daughter named Dream. | https://www.conchovalleyhomepage.com/health-2/ap-health/kris-jenner-says-blac-chyna-tried-to-murder-her-son-in-2016/ | 2022-04-23T03:03:32Z | https://www.conchovalleyhomepage.com/health-2/ap-health/kris-jenner-says-blac-chyna-tried-to-murder-her-son-in-2016/ | false | 40 |

Crunch Shutout Senators, 6-0
April 22, 2022 - American Hockey League (AHL) - Syracuse Crunch News Release
SYRACUSE, N.Y. - Max Lagace and the Syracuse Crunch shutout the Belleville Senators, 6-0, tonight at the Upstate Medical University Arena.
The win puts the Crunch on a league-leading nine-game home winning streak and advances the team to 37-25-7-2 on the season. Syracuse also won the eight-game season series against Belleville, 5-3-0-0.

Gillam went on to turn aside 13-of-15. The Syracuse special teams were excellent going 2-for-5 on the power play and 3-for-3 on the penalty kill.
The Crunch opened scoring during a 5-on-3 advantage in the first period. After quick passing around the zone, Simon Ryfors tipped a shot that was stopped by Sogaard, but Anthony Richard found the rebound and sent it home.
The power play struck again halfway through the second period when Charles Hudon fired a wrister from the left circle. Three minutes later, Riley Nash grabbed the puck after it got caught in traffic out front and backhanded a shot past Sogaard. Syracuse kept rolling and made it a three-goal middle frame at 16:51 with a shot by Gabe Fortier from between the circles.
The Crunch continued building their lead with another goal 10:11 into the third period. Gabriel Dumont threw a shot on net for Gemel Smith to tip in five-hole. Hudon then roofed a backhander from the slot at 15:55 for his second of the night.

The New Orleans Pelicans and Phoenix Suns will tip off slightly after the scheduled time of 8:30 p.m. Central due to a suspicious package near Atlanta’s State Farm Arena delaying the start of the Hawks-Heat matchup.
— Hawks PR (@HawksPR) April 22, 2022
Pelicans-Suns has been delayed to a 9 pm CT tip-off
— New Orleans Pelicans (@PelicansNBA) April 22, 2022
Since we’ve got a few extra minutes to fill, let’s talk championship aspirations because the Pelicans odds have jumped up significantly since the start of this week.
With no Devin Booker — perhaps for the rest of this first-round series — and the Pelicans winning game 2 in Phoenix, the improved odds should not come as a complete surprise.
That said, realize New Orleans is still considered a large underdog to advance against Phoenix. For instance, FiveThirtyEight is giving the Pelicans a 27% of moving to the next round.
For more on tonight’s game, please give our preview a read.
Who: New Orleans Pelicans (1-1) vs Phoenix Suns (1-1)
When: April 22, 2022, 9:00 p.m. CT (was originally 8:30 p.m.)

New Delhi: Rajasthan Royals are in good form in the 2022 Indian Premier League season as the Pink and Purple brigade will be looking to book their place in the play-offs this time around. During the IPL auction, fans were in meltdown when Ravichandran Ashwin was roped in by the Rajasthan officials. The fans never ever thought that the Indian spinner might team up with English batter Jos Buttler. In an incident we all know back in 2019, Ashwin while plying his trade for Punjab Kings used the mankad mode of dismissal to get rid off the English batter, which sparked huge backlash in the cricketing fraternity.
Cut to 2022, mankad is now a fair mode of dismissal as per the latest MCC rules and now Buttler, while in conversation with ESPN Cricinfo was asked whether as captain he would allow his teammate, Ashwin to maneuver the mankad or not. He had a straight answer in, ‘No’.
The interviewer then further asked that will Ashwin listen to him or not, he wittily replied ‘No’ again before bursting into laughter.
Buttler is in red-hot form in the IPL as he is currently the holder of the orange cap. He has scored 375 runs in 6 matches with a whooping average of 75. He even smashed a hundred against Mumbai Indians.
Rajasthan Royals are playing catch-up with Gujarat Titans as the former is placed at 3rd slot. The Royals take on Rishabh Pant’s Delhi tonight at Wankhede Stadium. The Capitals are now at 6th position with six points in as many matches. | https://www.cricketcountry.com/news/ipl-2022-jos-buttler-reveals-he-wont-allow-rajasthan-royals-teammate-ravichandran-ashwin-to-mankad-1019561 | 2022-04-23T03:12:08Z | https://www.cricketcountry.com/news/ipl-2022-jos-buttler-reveals-he-wont-allow-rajasthan-royals-teammate-ravichandran-ashwin-to-mankad-1019561 | true | 1 |

On April 11, the Red Wings organization hosted its players’ banquet and awards presentations at Dunlop Lake Lodge north of Elliot Lake.
Mark Savery, Red Wings vice-president operations and general manager, presented the awards.
The Top Rookie of the Year Award went to Brodie Kearns, the 6’ 1’’ forward from Brantford who played in 31 games and got 39 points.
“His work ethic was unbelievable from the first day he got here to the last game we played,” said Savery.
The team’s Top Defenceman of the Year Award was presented to the 6’ 4’’ Cameron Dial, of Shaker Heights, Ohio.
“It’s pretty tough to pick one,” said Savery. “I think we had a great defensive crew this year and you all deserve a lot of credit, but we did narrow it down. This defenceman played 30 minutes a night for us. He had three goals and 20 assists for 23 points in 48 games. He also led our team in scoring in the playoffs.”
The next award was the Most Improved Player. The winner of the Most Improved Player was Matthew Shulist, the 6’ 1’’ forward from Hamilton.
“On a new team, it could have gone to four or five kids. We narrowed it down to one who was the second in our team on scoring. He had 17 goals and had 12 assists for 29 points. He was the second highest point-per-game guy we had.”
The Red Wings Top Forward Award went to the 6’ 1’’ from player from MacTier, Kaden Laverdiere.
“He had 13 goals and nine assists in 22 games, which is awesome because he only joined us halfway through the year. I think him coming to our team was one of the things that turned our team around. He had a great attitude, a great winning attitude. He’s a great face-off guy as well.”

The team’s Most Dedicated Player Award went to the 6’ tall Brock McNaughton from Perth. McNaughton scored 11 goals and got 17 assists for 28 points.
“I think everyone knows that we don’t have to look any further than our captain. His work ethic was unbelievable. He did a lot of other good stuff too. He was the third in scoring on our team.
“I think when we named him captain halfway through the year it changed our whole team.”
In receiving the award McNaughton said, “Thank you for such a great year. It was a pleasure to lead such a great group of guys. I appreciate it so much.”
The Most Valuable Player of the Year Award was presented to one of the team’s goaltenders, the 6’ 4’’ Cameron Smith from Stouffville.
“He came to us late as well. He was 500 in the net with nine wins and nine losses, and the third best save percentage in the league at 914. He turned our team around,” said Savery.
Smith was also presented with the Red Wings’ Top Goaltender Award.
Two Red Wings players were also presented with a First Nation cultural award, Brock McNaughton and Jovani Moses. They each received medicine pouches from First Nation representative Steve Meawasige.
The 6’ 4’’ Moses, a First Nation forward who comes from Waskaganish, Quebec, was the team’s fifth top scorer with 10 goals and 16 assists for a total of 26 points.
Five of the team’s players won’t be back next season because the aged out: McNaughton, Moses, Josh Tomasi, Ethan Mercer, and the team’s tallest player at 6’ 5’’ Jace Simington-Lesanko.

Savery says McNaughton is going to the Royal Military College in Kingston in the fall and will play for that team. He adds that Moses also has some options to further his career in hockey.
Many of the Red Wings’ fans noticed a big change in the team from before the Christmas break to when all the teams were able to return to the ice on Feb. 3 after a break of more than a month because of the pandemic.
Savery said the team changed three players when they returned in February. They swapped three players with a team in the Superior International Junior Hockey League.
“We changed some personnel and we brought in a winning attitude, and it really turned us around,” said Savery.
He added that many of this year’s players might come back next season. However, they will have to attend a tryout camp in May.
Savery says that during the month-long break because of the pandemic the players stayed in Elliot Lake and continued to work out here.
Len Kutchaw, president of the Elliot Lake Junior Hockey board, said the players returned to Elliot Lake after the Christmas Holidays in early January. However, the season was put on hold a few days later because of another wave of COVID. To keep the players in top shape while awaiting the return of the hockey season they trained in Elliot Lake but had on-ice practices to help maintain their conditioning on an outdoor ice rink in Sprague.
When the season restarted the Red Wings were ready and surprised their fans with their improved playing. | https://www.elliotlakestandard.ca/sports/red-wings-players-receive-team-awards | 2022-04-23T03:18:21Z | https://www.elliotlakestandard.ca/sports/red-wings-players-receive-team-awards | true | 1 |
Which foot peel is best?
The feet contain 25% of the bones in the body and are the unsung heroes of everyday living. They support you in everything you do, from running errands to playing with the family dog. It’s no surprise that they are often tired, sore and covered in rough, dry skin.
When you’re ready for a spa day that focuses on the feet, you’ll need the best foot peel to soften and soothe them. The Soft Touch Foot Peel Mask heals cracked, dry skin to leave feet feeling smooth, soft and energized.
What to know before you buy a foot peel
Primary use
Each type of foot peel improves the condition of your feet, but there are specific conditions you can address as well. If you want your primary use to be overall exfoliating, look for specific ingredients like acids that release dry skin so it can be removed in large flakes. Trying to soften calluses? Fruit acids are key.
Foot size
You’ll need to make sure that the bag containing your foot peel actually fits your foot. They should be clearly marked on the outside of the package. While people of any gender can use foot peels, they’re usually listed the same way as shoe sizes with men’s and women’s options. If you are unsure of your size, remember that men’s shoe sizes are generally two sizes smaller than women’s sizes. So, if you usually wear a size 10 men’s shoe, look for a foot peel that fits up to a women’s size 12.
Patience
Of course, you want your feet to be lovely and conditioned quickly, but these things take time. Even the fastest acting foot peels take at least a week to start working, and some of the very best take two weeks or more (and multiple applications). Be patient and follow the directions for the best results.
What to look for in a quality foot peel
Natural ingredients
Putting lab-created chemicals on your feet will certainly stimulate a change, but it’s not the best way to go. Look for ingredient lists that include natural fruit acids for a safer foot peel.
GMP-certified
Foot peels are not regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, so how do you know if the one you are using is safe? Look for a GMP-certified sticker. This indicates that the company has followed strict manufacturing standards at every stage of production.
Added scents
If you are sitting around with your feet in plastic bags for an hour or more, you might as well get some mood-boosting out of it too. Scents like lavender can be calming, while anything in the citrus family is stimulating and uplifting.
How much you can expect to spend on a foot peel
For this at-home spa treatment, expect to spend $7-$20 per pair.
Foot peel FAQ
How do you use a foot peel?
A. Each foot peel is going to have its own specific directions, so make sure you follow them closely.
In general, though, each foot peel follows a similar set of steps as indicated below.
- Start with clean, dry feet.
- If the masks are sealed, cut the seal carefully with scissors.
- Apply the foot peel mask, or insert feet into the booties if that is how the foot peel is applied. Make sure the foot is in contact with the peel.
- Seal the opening of the booties or the overlap of the foot peel mask.
- Top with a pair of cotton socks to keep the peel in place. Then, take some time to relax, anywhere from 60 to 90 minutes, while the foot peel does its job.
- Rinse the peel off completely, and dry your feet.
- If your package indicates you should add lotion to your feet, do that after drying your feet. Afterward, put on a clean pair of cotton socks.
- Repeat as recommended by the manufacturer.
Is there anyone who should not use a foot peel?
A. If you have sensitive skin or are allergic to any of the ingredients, a foot peel can do more harm than good.
Others who should avoid this type of therapeutic treatment include those with:
- Open wounds
- Excessive redness or skin irritation
- Psoriasis or eczema

Arkansas turning down remaining federal rental assistance
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson on Friday said he was refusing most of $146 million in federal pandemic rental assistance the state was to receive, citing the state’s low unemployment rate and economic climate.
With Hutchinson’s decision, Arkansas joins Nebraska in turning down the latest round of pandemic rental assistance funds.
Hutchinson, a Republican, asked U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen that the state be allowed to use 39% of the funds — about $60 million — for “housing stability” programs offered by nonprofit groups that would include job training, education and treatment as well as some rental assistance.
Arkansas still has about $20 million from the first round of rental assistance that was given to states.
“Our economy has returned, there’s jobs aplenty out there and we have existing programs in place for rental assistance that were pre-pandemic,” Hutchinson told reporters at a news conference at the Capitol.
Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts, a Republican, turned down the funding and earlier this month vetoed legislation that would have forced him to apply for the money.
States and localities have until September to spend their share of the first $25 billion allocated, known as ERA1, and the second $21.55 billion, known as ERA2, by 2025. Treasury says $30 billion had been spent or allocated through February.
Hutchinson said he planned to talk with the White House about his proposal.
Housing advocates and Democratic lawmakers said the move would hurt renters around the state.
“Instead of refusing to put money in the pockets of Arkansan families in need, we should be making it easier for families to stay in their homes and make ends meet,” Rich Huddleston, executive director of Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families, said.
Democratic Sen. Greg Leding said the decision didn’t make sense, considering that other states are accepting the assistance.
“There are still people who are struggling to make rent,” Leding said. “I think there’s just still a lot of variability in our economy.”

CHICAGO (AP) — Grayson Allen made five 3-pointers and scored 22 points and the Milwaukee Bucks dominated the Chicago Bulls 111-81 on Friday night to take a 2-1 lead in the first-round playoff series without the injured Khris Middleton.
Giannis Antetokounmpo added 18 points, Bobby Portis had 18 points and 16 rebounds and the defending champion Bucks made it look easy coming off two shaky performances at home.
Coming off two shaky performances at home, Milwaukee quieted a raucous crowd watching Chicago’s first playoff game at the United Center in five years almost as soon as it started. The Bucks led by 24 in the second quarter and remained in control the rest of the way.
Middleton is expected to miss the rest of the series after spraining his left knee in Wednesday night in a loss. Game 4 is Sunday in Chicago.
Antetokounmpo scored all but two of his points after the first quarter. The two-time MVP finished with nine assists and seven rebounds.
Jrue Holiday added 16 points to help the Bucks beat the Bulls for the 18th time in 20 games.
Nikola Vucevic led Chicago with 19 points. Zach LaVine had 15 and DeMar DeRozan finished with just 11 after setting a career playoff high with 41 in Game 2.
The Bucks had it going right from the start, racing out to a 60-41 halftime lead even with Middleton sidelined.
Allen helped squash the “Let's go Bulls!” chants, nailing four 3s and scoring 14 in the half. That had to make it even tougher for fans still upset about his hard foul that resulted in a broken wrist for Alex Caruso during a game in Milwaukee in January. They showered him with boos but couldn't throw him off his game.
Antetokounmpo started a 13-0 run early in the second quarter with a 19-footer and dunk. And Allen finished it with a driving layup that bumped the lead to 46-22.
TIP-INS
Bucks: Portis wore goggles after missing most of Game 2 with a right eye abrasion. He took a hit to the face from Chicago’s Tristan Thompson late in the first quarter Wednesday as both players were going after a rebound. ... G George Hill (abdominal strain) missed his fourth game in a row. And coach Mike Budenholzer said he doesn't appear close to returning. ... Milwaukee has won 12 of 13 at the United Center dating to the 2016-17 season
Bulls: The Bulls have not won a home playoff game since beating Cleveland in Game 3 of the 2015 Eastern Conference semifinals. Chicago lost that series in six games. ... Assistant coaches Chris Fleming and Damian Cotter were back with the team after missing the first two games because of COVID-19. Assistant Maurice Cheeks, however, was out because of a non-COVID illness, coach Billy Donovan said.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Tim Stutzle scored in the shootout to lift the Ottawa Senators to a 2-1 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday night for their second straight road win.
Brady Tkachuk also scored and Filip Gustavsson stopped 33 shots for Ottawa in his first career shootout win.
Jack Roslovic had Columbus’ goal and Elvis Merzlikins had 25 saves in the Blue Jackets’ fourth straight loss (0-3-1).
Roslovic put the Blue Jackets up 1-0 at 11:20 of the first, burying a tape-to-tape pass from Cole Sillinger from the right circle for his second power-play goal of the year.
Parker Kelly appeared to pull Ottawa even at 10:02 of the second but the goal was disallowed for offside.
Tkachuk finally put the Senators on the board at 7:06 of the third off tic-tac-toe passing from Drake Batherson and Josh Norris that caught Merlikins looking. The goal was Tkachuk’s team-leading 61st point of the season.

Senators: Host Montreal on Saturday night.
Blue Jackets: Host Edmonton on Sunday.

Here’s four quick takeaways from Tennessee’s 8-2 win on Friday night in Gainesville to take the series opener over Florida:
Rounding 1st — Burns bounces back
Chase Burns took the mound in game one coming off a pair of poor outings.
Two starts ago against Missouri, Burns lasted just 2.2 innings as he walked four and gave up two runs on three hits. A week later against Alabama, the freshman took his first loss of the season after lasting just three innings. Burns gave up five runs on seven hits against the Tide.
Burns bounced back in strong fashion against Florida, improving to 7-1 on the season as he made his 10th start. He allowed just one earned run on two hits although he walked three. On 98 pitches, 56 of which were strikes, Burns struck out five.
Rounding 2nd — Big second inning
Seven of Tennessee’s eight runs came in the second inning.
The Vols struck for seven runs in the second after Luc Lipcius led off the inning with a walk and Evan Russell doubled down the left field line. Christian Moore and Cortland Lawson then hit back-to-back RBI singles. Two were able to score on Lawson's as Florida right fielder Sterlin Thompson allowed the ball to get past him.
After a Jordan Beck bloop RBI single made it 4-0, Vols third baseman Trey Lipscomb crushed a three-run homer to make it 7-0. It was Lipscomb's 16th home run of the season and he now has 60 RBIs.
Rounding 3rd — Joyce dazzles
Ben Joyce relieved Burns in the seventh inning with one out. The hard-throwing righty proceeded to get a ground ball and a strikeout to end the frame.
In the seventh, Joyce threw seven fastballs. Three were 103 mph, while four of them were 102 mph. His strikeout came on an 85 mph slider.
Joyce had to work out of a jam in the eighth. After he walked the lead off man, he bounced back with a strikeout for the first out before allowing a single to put two runners on. He then got a fly ball to right for the second out and a fly ball to left to get out of the inning.
Headed for Home — No Vitello, no problem
Tennessee head coach Tony Vitello served the third game of his four-game suspension. The Vols are now 3-0 since Vitello was ejected last Saturday against Alabama.
Tomorrow will be the final game of Vitello’s suspension. Sophomore RHP Blade Tidwell will start for the Vols on the mound in place of injured RHP Chase Dollander as the Vols go for the series win. First pitch is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. ET.
Key Plays
T-1st: Tennessee 0, Florida 0
After a Jordan Beck double and Drew Gilbert walk with two outs, both runners advanced to third and second, respectively, on a wild pitch. Trey Lipscomb grounded out to shortstop, however, to strand the runners and end the inning.
T-2nd: Tennessee 7 (+7), Florida 0
Tennessee struck for seven runs in the second after Luc Lipcius lead off the inning with a walk and Evan Russell doubled. Christian Moore and Cortland Lawson then hit back-to-back RBI singles. Two were able to score on Lawson's as Florida right fielder Sterlin Thompson allowed the ball to get past him.
After a Jordan Beck bloop RBI single made it 4-0, Vols third baseman Trey Lipscomb crushed a three-run homer to make it 7-0. It was Lipscomb's 16th home run on the season. He now has 60 RBIs for the year.
B-2nd: Tennessee 7, Florida 0
After Chase Burns began the frame with back-to-back strikeouts, he allowed his first hit and first walk to put runners on first and second with two outs. Burns worked out of trouble with a fly ball to right field to end the inning and threat.
T-3rd: Tennessee 7, Florida 0
Tennessee couldn't do further damage in the third. After Christian Moore walked and Cortland Lawson singled with one out, Jared Dickey popped up to second for the second out and Jorel Ortega grounded out to shortstop to end the inning.
B-3rd: Tennessee 7, Florida 1 (+1)
The Gators got on the board in the third on an RBI groundout after a Luc Lipcius error and Chase Burns walk put a runner on.
T-5th: Tennessee 8 (+1), Florida 1
Tennessee added a run in the fifth after Luc Lipcius led off the inning with a walk for the second time. Lipcius would then steal second and advance to third on a ground ball before scoring on a Cortland Lawson sac fly.
B-5th: Tennessee 8, Florida 2 (+1)
Florida got a run back in the bottom half when designated hitter Mac Guscette hit a solo home run to lead off the inning.
B-8th: Tennessee 8, Florida 2
Ben Joyce worked out of a jam in the eighth. He allowed a lead off walk and a one-out single, but bounced back with a fly ball to right and a fly ball to left to get out of the inning.

The Memphis Tigers have landed the top prize from this year's transfer portal.
Kendric Davis, considered the No. 1 transfer prospect in the nation, announced Friday he will attend Memphis over several other top contenders.
Davis, the American Athletic Conference Player of the Year with SMU last season, revealed his choice to Sports Illustrated via a blog entry. He wrote that he selected the Tigers over Texas Tech, TCU, Kansas and Houston -- a major recruiting score for Memphis head coach Penny Hardaway.
"I wanted to go somewhere that I could showcase my game, but also be on the big stage," Davis wrote. "Of course, everyone knows who Coach Penny is; he's one of the greatest point guards of all time, and just being in the city of Memphis is gonna be super dynamic with me and Ja Morant to watch."
Davis entered the portal nearly two weeks ago after a dominant 2021-22 season with the Mustangs when he averaged 19.4 points, 3.8 rebounds and 4.4 assists. He had four 30-point games, including a 30-point performance in SMU's loss to Washington State in the NIT last month.
The 6-foot Houston native also ranked fourth in Division I in assists per game (7.6) during his junior season in 2020-21.
Davis has one year of eligibility remaining, and while he has made his name eligible for the NBA draft, he wrote that he plans to stay at Memphis, wanting to go through the NBA's pre-draft process.
He began his NCAA career at TCU before transferring to SMU, where he played three seasons. In 112 career games (77 starts) over those four years, Davis has averaged 13.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game and shot 35.3 percent from the arc.

Nakia Renee and Jared Motley
Nakia’s risk with Jared put her $100,000 prize on the line. Jared surprised the viewers when he stayed true to his word and the duo split the money.
Although they continued their relationship off the island, Nakia later confirmed that they called it quits. “Things didn’t work out between him and I. We’re kind of going in two different directions as far as like what we want,” the makeup artist explained in a video shared via Reddit in September 2021. “It was a real relationship. It was not just for the camera. Just like in any other real relationship he tried, I tried, and it just didn’t work.”

This bold initiative utilized the Company's sizeable financial strength to support all the Bank's communities and clients. Under this plan, the Bank offered all its borrowers optional three and six-month payment deferrals for full principal and interest. As the payment deferral status ended, borrowers resumed making their scheduled payments and were no longer considered being in an active deferral status. At March 31, 2022, the Bank no longer had any loan relationships on deferral under this program.
As a U.S. Small Business Administration ("SBA") PLP lender, the Bank has also been able to play a critical role in offering loans through the SBA Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP"). During the life of the program, the Bank funded approximately $85 million in PPP loans. These vital funds supported keeping nearly 7,000 employees on the payroll. PPP loans at March 31, 2022, were approximately $6.9 million.
SBA
"The Company continues to invest in our SBA Division as we continue to break records and work to become an even stronger player in this market. These loans are the backbone of the U.S. economy, and we are excited to work with these small businesses and contribute to their success," stated T. Ryan Sullivan, President/CEO.
For the SBA fiscal year ending September 30, 2021, the Bank secured a total of approximately $292 million in SBA 7(a) loan approvals, excluding PPP loans. This placed the Bank as 19th for all SBA 7(a) lenders in the nation. During Q1 2022, the Bank's SBA Division closed on approximately $54.4 million in total loans originated. Q1 2022 loan production increased 50.7% from the total loan originations of approximately $36.1 million during the same quarter 2021.
A key provision of the CARES Act was the SBA Debt Relief Program, whereby the SBA made six months of principal and interest payments on qualifying existing and new SBA loans. This has been an incredibly powerful resource for SBA borrowers and, with all of the Bank's SBA 7(a) loans in regular payment status at the onset of the program, most of the Bank's SBA borrowers were able to benefit from this program. At March 31, 2022, the bank no longer had any loan relationships receiving support under this program. Additionally, under the Economic Aid Act, continuing SBA payment support of up to $9,000 per month has been provided for a significant portion of the Bank's SBA 7(a) loan portfolio, with approximately $7.2 million in loan relationships continuing to receive support under this program at March 31, 2022.
As a result of the merger of SBTech and DraftKings, the Bank's related Oregon State Lottery Program ("OSL") sports wagering accounts began winding down during Q1 2022. Due to this winddown, OSL load volume decreased 76.9% during Q1 2022 to $4.6 million, compared to $20.3 million during Q1 2021. Even with this decrease, the Bank's Play+ Program with its strategic partners, BankCard Services, LLC and Sightline Payments, experienced an increase in load volumes of 36.7% during Q1 2022 to $202.2 million, compared to $147.9 million during Q1 2021, resulting in an overall Gaming FinTech Division load volume increase of 23.2% during Q1 2022 to approximately $207 million, compared to $168 million during Q1 2021.
As an offset to the OSL winddown, the Bank anticipates it will receive a total of $225 thousand for the OSL Program termination.
On December 14, 2021, the Company completed its private placement of $20 million of 3.875% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due 2031 (the "Notes") to certain qualified institutional buyers and accredited investors. The Notes have been structured to qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory capital purposes. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the offering for general corporate operating purposes, to support organic growth, and to fund potential acquisitions.
GBank's consolidated liquidity and capital positions continue to perform well compared to its relative peers. Year-over-year, deposits grew by approximately $70 million. Year-over-year, gross loan balances (excluding PPP) increased by approximately $50 million due to SBA and commercial loan growth. The Bank continues to take advantage of favorable market conditions related to SBA loan sales.
Total assets increased 19.9% to approximately $626 million, compared to approximately $523 million at March 31, 2021. Total deposits were also up 16% to approximately $508 million, compared to approximately $438 million at March 31, 2021. Shareholders' equity increased 20% to approximately $79 million, compared to approximately $65.7 million at March 31, 2021.
The company adopted ASC 842 – Lease Accounting in Q3 2021, resulting in a right-of-use asset and corresponding operating lease liability of approximately $1.6 million. Certain adjustments have been made to the financial presentation for the 2021 year-to-date period and are related to this adoption for comparative purposes. We have leased branches and office space and have entered into various other agreements in conducting our business. Operating lease right-of-use assets are included within All Other Assets and the Bank's operating lease liability is included within Accrued Interest Payable and Other. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term, subject to any changes in the lease or expectations regarding the terms. Variable lease costs such as property taxes are expensed as incurred. Lease and non-lease components are accounted for separately as the amounts are readily determinable under our lease contracts. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet.
The Company's quarterly net interest margin was 3.12%, compared to 3.52% for Q1 2021. First quarter net revenues (net interest income plus noninterest income) increased 63% to $10.3 million, compared to $6.3 million for Q1 2021. First quarter noninterest income increased 152% to $5.9 million, compared to $2.3 million for Q1 2021. Total first quarter noninterest expense increased 29% to $6 million, compared to $4.6 million for Q1 2021, and increased 1.5% for the first quarter to $6 million, compared to $5.9 million for Q4 2021.
The provision for loan losses during Q1 2022 reflects our current assessment of risks associated with our credit portfolios, the COVID-19 pandemic, and general economic conditions. The Company recorded a $56 thousand provision for loan losses during the first quarter of 2022, compared to a $250 thousand provision during the preceding linked quarter. The Company held approximately $6.1 million in allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2022, compared to approximately $6.15 million at December 31, 2021. The Bank holds no balances of other real estate owned and reports two loans in non-accrual status for approximately $298 thousand at March 31, 2022, down from $320 thousand in the prior quarter. The allowance for loan losses to total net loans, excluding PPP and guaranteed balances, was 2.13% at March 31, 2022. During the quarter, the Bank experienced a partial net charge-off of approximately $105 thousand.
The Company will host its Q1 2022 quarterly earnings call in conjunction with its regularly scheduled Annual Meeting of Shareholders on Thursday, May 12, at 2:00 p.m. (PST). Please see GBFH Company Release published April 8, 2022, for information on joining this meeting:

Music Industry Veteran and Acclaimed Author Dorothy Carvello Establishes 'Face the Music Now Foundation' for Survivors of Sexual Abuse in the Music Industry
Foundation will support the mental and financial well-being of survivors
NEW YORK, April 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Dorothy Carvello, music industry veteran and first female A&R executive for Atlantic Records, today announced the launch of the Face the Music Now Foundation, an organization established by and for survivors of sexual harassment and abuse in the music industry. The Foundation will provide a safe space for survivors, while focusing on changing the institutionalized abuse that has been pervasive throughout the music industry for decades without any public accountability.
Within the music industry, 72 percent of female musicians report discrimination, and 67 report that they have been the victim of sexual harassment.1 "As a survivor myself, I have seen and experienced firsthand how sexual harassment and abuse shatters survivors psychologically, financially, and professionally. It's not a matter of money; it's about helping them put the pieces back together," commented Dorothy Carvello. "This is about the decades old and widespread abuse of power in the music industry. We want to help survivors find their voices and take back some of what they have lost."
Despite the proliferation of the #MeToo movement across numerous industries, the music industry has yet to have the same reckoning despite a number of recent high-profile cases. Face the Music Now Foundation is centered on not only exposing the reality of what has been going on in the industry for decades and demanding accountability, but also paving the way for survivors to tell their stories and reclaim their lives. The Foundation aims to limit the industry-wide use of NDAs that have silenced survivors and allowed abusers to continue their predatory behavior without any repercussions
"These large, publicly traded companies have been protecting predators and it's time their shareholders know how their money is being used. For far too long, the music industry has been turning a blind eye to sexual abuse and harassment, and we're long overdue for that to change," Carvello added.
Joining Carvello is a diverse group of individuals from within and outside of the industry that all share the same passion for bringing the issue of abuse to light in the Music Industry. Members of the board of directors include:
- Beverly Keel, dean of MTSU's College of Media and Entertainment and a music industry activist who works for gender and racial equality in the music industry
- Bruce Roberts, a writer and solo performer with an extensive repertoire, who penned songs for artists ranging from Barbra Streisand to Elton John
- Rob Savage, former U.S. Secret Service special agent responsible for the overall protective and investigative missions within the Los Angeles area
"Throughout my career in the music industry, journalism and now academia, I've seen how the industry largely operates outside of traditional office norms," said Beverly Keel. "It's lonely being the only woman in the room, and by working with Dorothy and the Foundation, I am focused on empowering those who have experienced abuse to speak up, and to ensure that our future leaders don't perpetuate the abuse of power that has become all too common."
The Foundation is committed to educating a new generation of aspiring music industry leaders to believe in equality and fair treatment in the workplace and finally make the music business safer for all.
About Face the Music Now Foundation
The Face the Music Now Foundation was established to highlight sexual abuse and harassment in the music industry, demand accountability and change, and pave the way for survivors to tell their stories and reclaim their lives.

CHICAGO (AP) — Grayson Allen made five 3-pointers and scored 22 points and the Milwaukee Bucks dominated the Chicago Bulls 111-81 on Friday night to take a 2-1 lead in the first-round playoff series without the injured Khris Middleton.
Giannis Antetokounmpo added 18 points, Bobby Portis had 18 points and 16 rebounds and the defending champion Bucks made it look easy coming off two shaky performances at home.
Coming off two shaky performances at home, Milwaukee quieted a raucous crowd watching Chicago’s first playoff game at the United Center in five years almost as soon as it started. The Bucks led by 24 in the second quarter and remained in control the rest of the way.
Middleton is expected to miss the rest of the series after spraining his left knee in Wednesday night in a loss. Game 4 is Sunday in Chicago.
Antetokounmpo scored all but two of his points after the first quarter. The two-time MVP finished with nine assists and seven rebounds.
Jrue Holiday added 16 points to help the Bucks beat the Bulls for the 18th time in 20 games.
Nikola Vucevic led Chicago with 19 points. Zach LaVine had 15 and DeMar DeRozan finished with just 11 after setting a career playoff high with 41 in Game 2.
The Bucks had it going right from the start, racing out to a 60-41 halftime lead even with Middleton sidelined.
Allen helped squash the “Let’s go Bulls!” chants, nailing four 3s and scoring 14 in the half. That had to make it even tougher for fans still upset about his hard foul that resulted in a broken wrist for Alex Caruso during a game in Milwaukee in January. They showered him with boos but couldn’t throw him off his game.
Antetokounmpo started a 13-0 run early in the second quarter with a 19-footer and dunk. And Allen finished it with a driving layup that bumped the lead to 46-22.
TIP-INS
Bucks: Portis wore goggles after missing most of Game 2 with a right eye abrasion. He took a hit to the face from Chicago’s Tristan Thompson late in the first quarter Wednesday as both players were going after a rebound. … G George Hill (abdominal strain) missed his fourth game in a row. And coach Mike Budenholzer said he doesn’t appear close to returning. … Milwaukee has won 12 of 13 at the United Center dating to the 2016-17 season
Bulls: The Bulls have not won a home playoff game since beating Cleveland in Game 3 of the 2015 Eastern Conference semifinals. Chicago lost that series in six games. … Assistant coaches Chris Fleming and Damian Cotter were back with the team after missing the first two games because of COVID-19. Assistant Maurice Cheeks, however, was out because of a non-COVID illness, coach Billy Donovan said.

Kris Jenner became emotional while recalling a volatile 2016 argument she heard about between her son Rob Kardashian and his then-girlfriend Blac Chyna that traumatised him.
Jenner testified for the second day from the witness stand in a Los Angeles courtroom on Friday (local time) that she believed Chyna attempted to murder her son. At the time, she said she was told that Chyna pointed a gun at Kardashian's head, tried to strangle him with a phone cord and hit him with a metal pole while intoxicated.
"It was complete chaos. It was scary," said Jenner, the 66-year-old "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" matriarch.
She's the first of four defendants - a group that also includes her daughters Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian and Kylie Jenner – to testify in Chyna's US$100 million (NZ$1.5m) lawsuit alleging the women conspired to have her reality show "Rob & Chyna" cancelled and damage her celebrity status.

Advertise with NZME.Earlier this week, much of Chyna's testimony dealt with the fight, and the celebration of the show's renewal the night before. Chyna testified that she was joking with her fiance when she wrapped a phone cord around his neck and grabbed his unloaded gun off a nightstand.
But Jenner said putting a gun to her son's head was "not a joke".
"He was a mess," she recalled while talking to her son after the incident on December 15, 2016. "I could only imagine how he felt … This was a horrible situation. I was heartbroken."
The momager began to shed tears while remembering the Rob Kardashian-Chyna spat, which happened months after Kim Kardashian was robbed at gunpoint in Paris. Jenner said knowing that both her children had a gun pointed at them within the same year was traumatising for her.
"While Rob's situation was going on, Kim had just been dealing with Paris," she said. "He had a gun put at his head, and she was held at gunpoint and thrown into a bathtub. That's a lot to take as a mother."
While on the stand, Jenner said her boyfriend Corey Gamble separated her son and Chyna - who she says smashed an expensive television in the master bedroom. But after Gamble pulled them apart and asked Rob Kardashian to leave, she was told that Chyna smashed a chair on the windshield of her son's car.
In her questioning, Chyna's lawyer, Lynne Ciani, asked why Jenner or anyone else did not call the police. Jenner said her security team – former Los Angeles Police Department officers – helped diffuse the intense ordeal.
Jenner claims she wanted to help Chyna. She said arguments between the couple were an "ongoing theme" in their relationship that included alcohol and drugs.

Advertise with NZME."We didn't put Chyna on the show and give her this fabulous life to be taken away," she said. "We created other opportunities. I was hopeful that it would be okay. That's why I didn't call [the police]."
Ciani tried to gain clarity about a text message sent from Jenner to "Rob & Chyna" showrunner that read Chyna "beat the [expletive] out of Rob's face". Jenner said the phrase was used as a figure of speech.
Jenner compared her reference to Will Smith slapping Chris Rock during the recent Oscars.
"It's like you're at an awards show and you get slapped," she said while drawing some laughter from jurors and some others in the courtroom while her daughters' facial expressions remained stoic.
Ciani asked about another text she sent to the showrunner that read "We need to ditch this [expletive]" after her son's altercation with Chyna. Jenner said she was very angry and upset at the time, but she claims she never had any involvement in hampering Chyna's time on the show.
"It's not my proudest moment, but it was how I felt at the time," she said.

Advertise with NZME.Chyna's lawsuit, filed in 2017, alleges defamation and interference with contracts. It accuses Jenner of being a ringleader who used her daughters in a campaign to defame Chyna as abusive to Rob Kardashian.
Jenner would be an executive producer on the couple's "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" spinoff, "Rob & Chyna", which premiered on the E! Network later in September of 2016. Jenner said she had nothing to do with the network deciding to not pick up the reality show for a second season.
With Jenner being her son's manager, she said she would receive a letter saying the show was "green lit". But she says they never got a letter exercising the option.

Second seed Andrey Rublev produced a stunning display of forehand hitting to overwhelm Taro Daniel in the quarter-finals and reach the semi-finals of the Serbia Open, here on Friday.
World No 8 Rublev registered a 6-3, 6-3 victory over Daniel in a 74-minute long quarter-finals of the ATP 250 event, setting a last-four meeting with Fabio Fognini.

“I was a bit stressed because the weather was really tough. The conditions were so windy, the ball was moving a lot, so I needed to slow down, take more care. I felt I was playing well, I felt like I had control of the ball and I couldn’t take that many risks because of the wind," said Rublev after the match.
“But then with time, I started to adapt, to take the moments when there was not much wind and I started to try to play more aggressively. In the end it worked," he added.
With the win, Rublev moves to a 21-5 record for the 2022 season. Only Monte-Carlo Masters champion Stefanos Tsitsipas has won more matches this year. Despite that strong record, he is taking nothing for granted ahead of his meeting with sixth seed Fognini on Saturday.
“It’s going to be tough. Fabi, he’s super talented, he can play amazing and it’s going to be a tough match with a lot of long rallies, so I just need to do my best and we will see what happens," said Rublev of the Fognini clash.
Fognini moved past Germany’s Oscar Otte with a 7-5, 6-4 win earlier on Friday. He will hope to find his best level when he takes on Rublev in his second semi-final of the season.
Eight of the Italian’s nine ATP Tour titles have come on clay, the biggest of which was his 2019 triumph at the Monte-Carlo Masters. He holds a 5-4 ATP Head2Head series lead over Rublev, but the second seed has won the pair’s past three encounters.
In the other of Saturday’s semi-finals in Belgrade, World No 1 Novak Djokovic will aim to keep his bid for a third title at the ATP 250 event alive when he takes on third seed Karen Khachanov.

(BIVN) – A resolution introduced in the Hawaiʻi State Legislature proposing to change the name of Captain Cook in Kona has stalled in a senate committee.
This week, the Senate Committee on Public Safety, Intergovernmental and Military Affairs deferred HCR27 HD1, which would have requested “the United States Census Bureau to re-designate the census-designated place known as Captain Cook on the island of Hawaii as Ka‘awaloa.”
A few weeks ago, the State House of Representatives voted to adopt the measure, sending the resolution over to the Senate.
During its hearing, the senate committee heard from resident Mitchell Lee, who testified that the measure “is not supported by the people who actually live and work in Captain Cook.”
“This is about Cancel Culture and not about Hawaiian culture,” wrote Lee in his written testimony, who added that “the proposed name change will hurt small business people like myself,” since he will need to “divert funds to revising signage, marketing materials and so on away from more productive use like hiring local people.”
“The proponents of the name change are hypocritical,” Lee wrote. “They claim that outsiders took something away from the local population when the town was named Captain Cook; now, they are using signatures from people outside of Captain Cook, outside of the State of Hawaii, and even from other countries to support their effort. This is not the Aloha spirit of acceptance and inclusiveness.”
Lee was the only person to testify via Zoom during the meeting.
“E ola ka inoa no Kaʻawaloa,” wrote Hiʻilani Makahanaloa in support of the measure. “I was raised by my great-grandfather, my papa, Albert Medeiros Sr., who was born in Kaʻawaloa and would tell us the stories of him and his siblings and how they would hike that pali to go to school,” Makahanaloa said.
“I stand before you, with courage in my heart, representing my late papa, my Medeiros ʻohana and my Makahanaloa ʻohana with support for HCR27,” wrote Makahanaloa. “The name of Kaʻawaloa should never have been Captain Cook in the first place. There is no honor in the recognition of a genocidal murderer. Others who have no geneaological ties to this land may say that this act is “canceling culture.” We are correcting my culture, Hawaiian culture. It is wrong and has been wrong for generations. I stand with all Native people all over the world whom are choosing to erase and say no to remnants of colonization that defile their existence. I have never heard my late papa refer to what is currently known as Captain Cook. He had always called it Kaʻawaloa as do I, and my descendants after me shall do the same.” | https://www.bigislandvideonews.com/2022/04/22/captain-cook-name-change-resolution-stalls-in-senate/ | 2022-04-23T04:07:30Z | https://www.bigislandvideonews.com/2022/04/22/captain-cook-name-change-resolution-stalls-in-senate/ | true | 1 |
MEXICO CITY (AP) — The haunting story of a young woman left on the side of a highway late at night in northern Mexico ended in tragedy Friday, after her decomposing body was found in a subterranean water tank at a motel.
Assistant Public Safety Secretary Ricardo Mejia said Friday the woman’s body — which was apparently unrecognizable after what may have been nearly two weeks in the water — had a crucifix necklace and clothing that Debanhi Escobar was wearing that night.
And despite what authorities in the northern border state of Nuevo Leon described as a massive search for her, the story ended the way it often does in Mexico: when her rotting body was found by locals.
“The alert was sounded by hotel workers, because of the fetid odors coming from the area,” Mejia said.
The story of Debanhi Escobar made headlines because of a haunting photo taken by a driver who was supposed to take her home that night. It was not clear why she got out of the car, but her father, Mario Escobar, said prosecutors told him that surveillance camera footage suggested the driver had inappropriately touched his daughter.
“I suppose that my daughter did not put up with the harassment,” her father said. The driver has been detained though his full name has not been released. Escobar said while the driver may not have killed her, he was responsible for Debanhi’s death.
The driver, who worked for a taxi application, took the photo to show Escobar got out of his car alive on April 8 on the outskirts of the city of Monterrey. There she was, a young woman standing alone at night on the side of a highway, wearing a skirt and high-top sneakers.
The image seemed to speak of the tremendous vulnerability, and the self-assuredness — or desperation — of the young woman.
Nobody saw her until late Thursday, when investigators managed to pull her body from the 12-foot (4 meter) deep water tank near a pool at the roadside motel.
Mario Escobar said he was sure Debanhi was dead.
“My daughter is dead. I don’t know what to do,” Escobar said. “The prosecutors didn’t do their job correctly.”
Authorities did not say how her body wound up in the underground tank, a common feature in Mexico where local water systems aren’t pressurized and every household has to have a tank to store incoming water for later use.
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said Friday the case “has caused, logically, a lot of worry, a lot of concern” among Mexicans.
Critics are disturbed by the fact that even when authorities are spurred to act by public outcry, investigations are seldom very timely or efficient.
During the week that investigators said 200 personnel used drones, search dogs and reviews of security camera footage to look for Debanhi, her body was actually lying not far from where she was last seen.
The president pledged to help prosecutors find the culprit, but in fact the killings of women have increased in recent years, rising from 977 cases in 2020 to 1,015 in 2021. And those were just the cases classified as “feminicides,” a legal term used in Mexico in cases where women are killed because of their gender. Killings of women overall are much higher.
Just before Debanhi disappeared, another women was murdered in Monterrey, Maria Fernanda Contreras, 27. A suspect — apparently, a friend or acquaintance of the woman — has been arrested in that case.
And during the week authorities were searching for Debanhi, local media reported that the bodies of five other women and girls had been found in the state. The victims had all been reported missing around the same time as Debanhi, and all of them — four were 16 or younger — were found dead.
Angelica Orozco, who leads the relatives’ group United Forces for Our Disappeared in Nuevo Leon state, said the problem is not only that authorities are slow to investigate and do it badly, but that they also tend to blame the victims.
“The first thing is that they don’t carry out diligent investigations or searches, and the second thing are the statements issued by authorities, in some cases linking them to illegal activities,” Orozco said.
She was particularly disturbed when the Nuevo Leon state prosecutor, Gustavo Guerrero, said Thursday that most women disappear voluntarily, or as an act of “rebellion.”
“The main reason for the disappearances of women is because of a lack of communication with their families, because of disputes with them, because of the rebellion of young people,” Guerrero said. “The range of age of most of the women who disappear is from 14 to 25, but it’s not due to a crime, but rather is a voluntary situation.”
That view was refuted by Maria de la Luz Estrada of the activist group National Feminicide Observatory, who said it had become a depressing pattern that when women disappear, they turn up dead.
“It’s very serious and lamentable,” Estrada said of Debhani’s case, “but that has been the pattern in recent years, disappearances become crimes like feminicide.” | https://www.tristatehomepage.com/international/ap-international/mexican-police-find-body-of-missing-woman-in-cistern/ | 2022-04-23T04:09:42Z | https://www.tristatehomepage.com/international/ap-international/mexican-police-find-body-of-missing-woman-in-cistern/ | false | 43 |
Which cute bed sheets are best?
Cute bed sheets are a bit of a double-edged sword. On the one hand, their designs bring a smile to your face and help you feel a little happier when waking up and going to bed. On the other hand, they’re often hard to appreciate considering most people cover their sheets with extra layers, such as blankets and duvets, that are rarely available in designs that match said cute sheets. Regardless of how you approach that problem, you can find the best cute bed sheets in the Erosebridal Bed Sheet Set collection.
What to know before you buy cute bed sheets
Cute vs. novelty
As with most aspects of appearance, cute is in the eye of the beholder. Some may think chibi animals are cute, while others may like stylized flowers. However, there’s a thin line where cute becomes novelty. Novelty bed sheets tend to be lower quality and have more extravagant designs. They may be good enough for a gag gift or to complete a heavily themed room but shouldn’t be relied upon for nightly use.
Size
Cute bed sheets can be found in all standard sizes: twin, full, queen and king. However, it is rare to find them in any variant sizes, such as twin XL or California king. Cute bed sheet designs appeal to fewer people, so manufacturers need to print their designs onto sizes that are most likely to sell to avoid having unsellable stock. You can still find cute bed sheets in variant sizes, but you’ll have far fewer designs from which to choose.
What’s included
Cute bed sheet sets include one fitted sheet and one pillowcase at a minimum, and most sets also include a flat sheet. The size typically dictates whether a set includes an extra pillowcase. Twin and full sheet sets typically include just one pillowcase.
What to look for in quality cute bed sheets
Material
Most cute bed sheets use synthetic fibers, such as polyester or microfiber polyester. The biggest reason for using synthetic fibers is that they cost less than natural fibers, so manufacturers make larger profit margins with each sheet set sold. Additionally, designs are easier to print onto synthetic fibers.
A quality set of synthetic microfiber sheets will still feel soft and be breathable. The sheets will also be hypoallergenic, wrinkle-resistant and stain-resistant.
Pocket depth
Pocket depth refers to how deep the fitted sheet is, or in other words, how thick of a mattress it will fit snuggly on. Most cute bedsheets have deep pockets of 16 inches compared to the average depth of 8 inches, so they’ll fit most mattresses. After all, you can tuck the extra fabric under the mattress, but nothing can be done if it’s too short.
How much you can expect to spend on cute bed sheets
Cute bed sheets typically cost $30-$60 because most are made of the same material and use the same printing systems for their designs. That said, sheets on the lower end of the price range are more likely to have designs that bleed.
Cute bed sheets FAQ
What should I use to stay warm at night without covering my cute bed sheet’s design?
A. That’s a difficult question to answer. The easiest answer is to find a duvet cover or similar top layer with a design that matches your cute bed sheets. In practice, this is highly unlikely. To find a perfect match, you’d need to pick sheets from a manufacturer that also sells top layers in matching designs, but this is rarely an option. You could try to custom order your preferred top layer to match your sheets, but this is expensive, and it’s unlikely that the order would sufficiently match the sheets.
You’re then left with two options: Use a blanket smaller than your sheets so the cute sheet design can be seen, or use a top layer that covers them up. The blanket won’t keep you as warm and will shift around your bed, but at least your sheets can still be seen and enjoyed.
Do cute bed sheets have special cleaning requirements?
A. Generally speaking, no. Most are just as machine-washable as the average monochromatic bed sheet. That said, some manufacturers recommended washing a new set of cute bed sheets two to four times before using them as normal. This helps to rinse out any extra dye that may bleed when coming in contact with your natural body oils.

CHICAGO (AP) — Roberto Perez drove in three runs, Michael Chavis broke a tie with a home run in the fourth inning, and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Chicago Cubs 4-2 on Friday night.
The Cubs were held scoreless over the final seven innings by Pirates left-hander Jose Quintana and four relievers in a game that started nearly six hours late because of forecasted inclement weather.
The Pirates have won two consecutive games, while the Cubs dropped their fourth consecutive game.
Perez hit a two-run single in the second to snap a streak of 10 2/3 scoreless innings by Cubs left-hander Drew Smyly (1-1) to start the season. Perez led off the fifth with his first homer of the season to extend the Pirates’ lead.
After going hitless in his previous 10 at-bats, Perez has three hits in his last six at-bats.
Michael Hermosillo snapped an 0-for-12 slump to start the season by hitting a two-run double in the second to account for the Cubs’ scoring.
Two batters earlier, Quintana was struck on the left leg by a line drive by Jonathan Villar but stayed in the game. Quintana, who pitched for the Cubs from 2017-20, pitched 4 2/3 innings, striking out three, walking three and giving up three hits.
Pirates relievers have held the Cubs scoreless over 10 1/3 innings in the first two games of this four-game series. Chicago's Nick Madrigal grounded to second with the tying run at first to give Chris Stratton his second save in as many nights. Chase De Jong (1-0) pitched two scoreless innings for the win.
Smyly pitched five innings, had four strikeouts, and gave up six hits, four runs and one walk.
Seiya Suzuki snapped an 0-for-10 rut with a single to start the eighth, but reliever David Bednar struck out the next three batters.
A first-inning rally ended when Willson Contreras grounded into the Cubs’ major league-leading 17th double play.
Ke’Bryan Hayes hit a single in the first and is now 7-for-13 in four games against the Cubs and is batting .362 (17-for-47) lifetime against them.
TRAINER’S ROOM
PIRATES: OF Anthony Alford (right wrist sprain) was reinstated from the 10-day IL. INF/OF Hoy Park was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis.
CUBS: OF Clint Frazier was placed on the 10-day injured list due to an appendicitis. OF Alfonso Rivas was recalled from Triple-A Iowa. … RHP Alec Mills (lower back strain) will make a rehab start Saturday at Iowa. … LHP Wade Miley (elbow soreness) threw a bullpen session Friday.
UP NEXT
Pirates RHP Zach Thompson (0-1, 9.00) will face the Cubs on Saturday. Thompson allowed six runs in four innings Monday night in a 6-1 loss to the Brewers.
Cubs RHP Kyle Hendricks (0-1, 6.08) will take the mound against the Pirates. Hendricks allowed two runs in 4 1/3 innings Monday in a 4-2 win over the Rays.

Yellen-led G20 walkout shows decline of world's premier economic club
The world's premier economic and financial club may be irrevocably broken.
The Group of 20, conceived in the 1990s to bring the biggest developed and emerging markets into a single forum to address key global challenges, failed this week to issue a joint communique following a meeting of its finance ministers and central bank chiefs in Washington.
US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen also led a partial walkout from a session that featured Russian officials, in protest over their inclusion given Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.
The G-20 has weathered tensions in the past, including the Trump administration's opposition to language over protectionism in previous declarations from the group. But it's no longer clear that the likes of the US, China and Russia share the same fundamental objectives -- raising the risk that it will fail to serve as a coordinating body for tackling problems ranging from looming food and debt crises to climate change.
"Our system of global governance and ability to tackle key global challenges is being disrupted," said Mark Sobel, a former top Treasury Department international-affairs official who's now US chairman for the Official Monetary and Financial Institutions Forum, a think tank.
A confrontation had been brewing since last month, when US President Joe Biden called for the Russians, in the wake of their attack, to be excluded from the G-20. But China and Indonesia, which holds the group's rotating presidency, wouldn't go along.
'Profound Question'
Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati of Indonesia, in a Wednesday press briefing following the G-20 finance chiefs' meeting, said the group "continues as a premier forum for all of us to continue to discuss and talk about all of the issues," despite the tensions.
But former US Treasury Lawrence Summers, who helped set up the G-20, says it's now a "very profound question" as to whether it retains its original premise of shared interests in mutual economic development and a determination to jointly solve problems to further that endeavor.
"Self evidently, it is not the objective of most of the other members of the G-20 to support Russia's economic flourishing," Summers, a Harvard University professor and paid Bloomberg TV contributor, said on Bloomberg's Stephanomics podcast last week. "It is a substantial question whether we are hoping for the success of the Chinese economy, and whether China is hoping for the success of our economy."
A "variable architecture" could emerge, with different forums featuring participants with more in common but having less reach, and bigger ones where there's less in common but more reach, Summers said.
Pivotal Forum
While the G-7 grouping of democratic, advanced-economy nations remains as a long-standing forum for that group, it's not big and broad enough to address issues like food insecurity and climate change, Sobel said. (The body included Russia as the Group of Eight from 1998 until the country's invasion of Crimea in 2014.)
The G-20 was pivotal last year in generating a consensus behind the biggest overhaul in global corporate tax rules in decades -- something the G-7 likely wouldn't have been able to coordinate. Amid the US-China trade war in 2019, it also served as a forum where Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping could at least meet, averting a deeper breakdown in ties.
"It's the only body where you would have Russia, China and India meet face-to-face for days at a time." said Josh Lipsky, director of the GeoEconomics Center at the Atlantic Council. "It was more than just a group for talk, it was a group of action."
While G-20 communiques weren't binding sets of commitments, they could be used to call governments to account if they later failed to live up to pledges made.
Wednesday Dust-up
Formed first as a gathering of finance officials following the emerging-market crises of the 1990s, the G-20 became the pre-eminent forum for steering the world economy after the turmoil of 2008, when its leaders began convening summits. An April 2009 gathering in London was a high point, when countries coordinated action to support the world economy and limit further financial fallout.
Those heights mark a big contrast with Wednesday's dust-up, when US, Canadian, Danish, British and Ukrainian officials walked out of a morning G-20 session in Washington -- conducted in a hybrid in-person and video format -- just as a Russian representative began speaking. Some others participating remotely reportedly turned off their cameras as part of the protest.
The moment didn't stop the proceedings, and Spanish, French and German officials didn't leave the room. A person familiar with the situation said Spain felt compelled to stay, given its status as the current head of an important panel at the International Monetary Fund. Some other European officials opted to remain out of solidarity, the person said on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.
The split over Russia wasn't the only symptom of a breakdown over global economic coordination. While Yellen insisted during a press conference Thursday that the group was continuing to get important work done, she also said she was "deeply disappointed" with efforts to organize a debt-service suspension initiative for developing nations that are now struggling after their borrowing swelled to address the pandemic.
Value Unclear
Yellen also said she "specifically called out China" for needing to step up its participation in debt relief.
John Kirton, director for the G-20 Research Group at the University of Toronto, said the rift over Russia is harmful in the short run, but not debilitating. Below the level of cabinet ministers, important work will continue among deputies and technical experts, he said. Lipsky agreed.
For that reason, and because of Russia's declining influence, Kirton was even more optimistic. The disruption this week "does have an impact, but not a serious, prolonged or existential one."
An important gauge of the G-20's continuing relevance looms later this year, when members' leaders are scheduled to gather in Bali, Indonesia, for a summit. Indonesia has invited President Vladimir Putin to attend, despite Washington's call for Russia to be ejected.
"The longer-term question of how we have some steering to cope multilaterally with these kinds of global issues is an open question," said Sobel, the former US Treasury official.

The Best Job Markets Aren’t in the Biggest Cities
Austin, Nashville and Raleigh, N.C., top the Journal’s annual rankings
The hottest job markets in America are in five different states, but they have a lot in common. They’re in midsize cities, all with a population under 2.3 million. They’re in states with fairly low income taxes, or none at all. And their climates allow for outdoor activities all year round.
They are: Austin, Texas; Nashville, Tenn.; Raleigh, N.C.; Salt Lake City; and Jacksonville, Fla.

The swimming pool at French Creek State Park will be closed for the summer season, the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources announced Friday.
“Unfortunately, we will not have the necessary amount of lifeguards and support staff to open the pool at the park in 2022,” park Manager James Wassell said in a release. “We are working to find solutions so that park visitors can enjoy swimming at the park in the future.
“All other park facilities and recreation opportunities will be open for the season, and we expect a great year at French Creek.”
Officials said the vendor operating the pool is experiencing a shortage of lifeguards and other support staff. They noted other similar facilities across the state are facing staffing issues.
The department is providing certification training at no cost for new lifeguards to help with recruitment to prevent future closures.
The park remains open for other recreation opportunities, including hiking, camping, disc golf, wildlife watching and boating. | https://www.pottsmerc.com/2022/04/22/french-creek-state-park-swimming-pool/ | 2022-04-23T04:29:24Z | https://www.pottsmerc.com/2022/04/22/french-creek-state-park-swimming-pool/ | false | null |

EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — Evander Kane had three goals and an assist, Connor McDavid had three assists and the Edmonton Oilers clinched a playoff berth with a 6-3 victory over the Colorado Avalanche on Friday night.
Evan Bouchard, Kailer Yamamoto and Kris Russell also scored for the Oilers, who have won four in a row and improved to 12-0-1 in their last 13 games on home ice. Mike Smith had 34 saves.
Valeri Nichushkin had two goals and Nathan MacKinnon also scored for the Western Conference-leading Avalanche. Darcy Kuemper finished with 21 saves. Colorado has dropped three in a row and lost for just the second time this season when leading after the first period.
Colorado started the scoring about eight minutes into the opening period on a 3-on-1 break, as a trailing Nichushkin took a pass from Bowen Byram and beat Smith.
Edmonton’s penalty kill delivered by stopping a lengthy 5-on-3 advantage to start the second period. Momentum shifted the Oilers’ way as a result, with McDavid dropping a pass to Kane, who swung behind the net and caught Kuemper out of position on a wraparound.
The Oilers took the lead just 1:22 later as Bouchard's shot went high off the boards and off the top of the net before he followed up his own shot and batted it in.
However, just 15 seconds later, Nichushkin scored his second of the game and 24th of the season on a wrist shot that beat Smith on the stick side.
Edmonton made it 3-2 eight minutes into the second as Duncan Keith found Kane at the side of the net.
Kane recorded his fourth career hat trick with 5:46 left in the second period as he made a nice deke before his shot trickled over the line for his 20th goal in 39 games this season.
Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse left the game with an apparent leg injury late in the second and did not return.
Edmonton padded its lead with nine minutes remaining as Yamamoto scored on a backhand spin-o-rama. McDavid’s assist on the play gave him a league-leading 116 points on the season, matching a career high.
MacKinnon got a late goal for the Avs with their goalie on the bench. Russell iced it with an empty-net goal 27 seconds later.
NOTES: Oilers forward Jesse Puljujarvi missed the game with an illness. ... Colorado was without Gabriel Landeskog (lower body), Ryan Murray (upper body), Devon Toews (undisclosed), Mikko Rantanen (illness) and Erik Johnson (undisclosed). Andrew Cogliano returned after missing two games with an undisclosed injury. ... Avs backup goalie Pavel Francouz got hit by a puck on the bench early in the first period and left the game. University of Alberta goalie Matt Berlin was called upon to take his place on an emergency basis.

Avalanche: At Winnipeg on Sunday.
Oilers: At Columbus on Sunday to open a two-game trip.

New Zealand Wine Growers (NZWG) has released its 2022 industry-wide Sustainability Report, charting its strong progress down a more sustainable path, reconfirming its aim to be an eco-leader among global wine-producing territories.
Winegrowers in Aotearoa – the aptly-named Land of the Long White Cloud – were early in collectively embracing sweeping sustainability goals, coalescing in the Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand (SWNZ) programme, launched as far back as 1995.
With an annual progress report covering almost the entire industry, SWNZ now folds in 96% of New Zealand’s vineyards to its accredited sustainable programme, equating to 1,840 vineyards and 310 wineries.
The headline goal set out by SWNZ is for the industry to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 and become “a world leader” inefficient water usage, zero waste to landfills, and “protecting and enhancing” the health of the soils.
Meanwhile, 55% of wineries have moved to lightweight bottles, recognising that even the closest export-driven New Zealand’s markets require shipping goods a long way.
In addition, some 10% of New Zealand wineries also hold organic certification, a sector according to NZWG that is showing “impressive growth”.
• Read More: Some relief in New Zealand as harvest looks to return to normal size
One important aspect of the SWNZ programme compared with other sustainability schemes around the winemaking world is the joined-up, industry-wide reach it has, delivering a recognisable, trade-wide seal for bottles that consumers can easily understand.
Backed by organisations such as the national Brigato Research Institute and the grower-led Organic Winegrowers New Zealand, SWNZ also produces personalised greenhouse gas reports for 100% of its wineries.
“The New Zealand wine industry has rightfully earned its place as one of the most progressive wine-producing nations globally,” said Dr Edwin Massey, general manager of sustainability at New Zealand Winegrowers.
“With the data we have available from SWNZ; we have a unique opportunity to tell our wine sustainability story at a time when caring for people and place is so aligned to our customer’s values.”
Data for the report was collated from 310 wineries and 1.840 vineyards in the SWNZ programme from the 2020-2021 season. The full 2022 Sustainability Report can be found here.

A$AP Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, has been detained at Los Angeles International Airport.
Multiple media outlets are reporting that it is in connection with a November 2021 shooting.
Alan Jackson, A$AP Rocky’s attorney, confirmed the arrest after the entertainer arrived on a private plane from Barbados. He had been on vacation with his girlfriend, singer Rihanna, NBC News reported.
TMZ said he was met at the plane by officers and was taken away in handcuffs.
The Los Angeles Police Department, along with members of Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations team, took him into custody, WNBC reported.
The LAPD released a statement Wednesday afternoon.
A$AP Rocky was under investigation for a shooting incident on Nov. 6 in Los Angeles. The victim survived and told police that the rapper, who was with two other people, approached him with a handgun. The victim said A$AP Rocky shot at him three or four times, with one bullet grazing his left hand, according to NBC News.
The shooting had not been reported by the media, according to WNBC.
The Los Angeles Times reached out to a representative for A$AP Rocky but has yet to receive a comment.

Grinding or clenching the teeth is an unhealthy habit called bruxism. Bruxism is an unconscious habit that affects over 50 percent of the population, often causing damage and pain to the teeth, the facial muscles, or the jaw joint [TMJ]. I often see signs in the mouth of bruxism: worn teeth, thickened lower jaw, or fractured teeth. Most people are not aware of their grinding or clenching habits, and only 5 percent of them go on to develop painful symptoms. However, damage can continually, slowly develop. Most bruxism problems occur during sleep when the person is totally unconscious. The best protection from bruxism is a protective mouth guard, often called a night guard for its use during sleep.
Grinding and clenching habits do occur during the day, though most people are totally unaware of this bruxism habit. However, during the conscious, awake times, a person can become aware of their habit and learn to stop grinding or clenching.
Bruxism is a serious problem in our society. It can cause joint pain, eyestrain, neck pain and headaches including migraines. There is evidence that bruxism, causing facial muscular tension, is a precursor to migraines which are debilitating, throbbing, vascular headaches. The use of a night guard can prevent the migraine from starting in many cases. However, once a migraine has begun, the use of a guard will not cause it to stop.
Numerous dental problems are caused by grinding and clenching. Bruxism is the leading cause of teeth trauma and a significant cause of tooth loss and gum recession. By moving the teeth around in the gums and bone, bruxism can contribute to gum disease.
Bruxism can cause tooth fractures and the need for root canal therapy. Basically, people are pounding their teeth to death. I treated a 38-year-old female patient for whom I have done six root canal therapies over the last 5 years due to her night grinding. I was unable to convince her to have a night guard fabricated because her insurance does not pay for guards. However, her insurance does pay for root canals, so we keep doing them. But I believe a preventive night mouth guard would be the best treatment for her and her insurance company.
If bruxism is not treated, teeth, fillings, or crowns may become worn down. Tooth enamel is worn away exposing the dentin, the softer inside of the tooth, which can become very sensitive. Often a patient will complain of cold-sensitive teeth, unable to drink cold liquids or eat ice cream. After wearing a night guard, the cold sensitivity often disappears.
I recently treated a 25-year-old female high school teacher. She has a stressful life, which was aggravated during Covid time. This contributed to a major teeth-grinding problem. The tops of all her teeth were worn down. Dentinal exposures appear throughout her back teeth, causing sensitivity to cold, biting and sweets. Tooth-colored fillings were bonded over the exposed dentinal areas. A protect mouth guard was fabricated which she wears every night and even during stressful times during the day. To her relief, her teeth sensitivity is now gone. For the first time since she was very young, she can enjoy ice cream.
Sleep studies have showed that bruxism will vary through the night, most often during dreaming REM sleep, but sometimes even in deep sleep. The sleeper might have 25 bruxism episodes each night. An episode typically lasts four-to-five seconds, but those few seconds can add up to severe damage to the teeth or jaw joint through years of time. There are several theories about the causes of bruxism, but stress is a contributing factor. A college student is the classic example of stressful lifestyle that leads to bruxism, burning the candle at both ends between cramming, working, partying, and lack of sleep.
Even though many methods have been tried to stop night bruxism, nothing has been found effective. It is now believed that most people are genetically programmed to grind or clench during sleep to relief stress. Only by wearing a night guard can the symptoms of bruxism be lessened. The night guard, rather than the teeth, takes the force of biting and grinding to prevent further damage to the teeth and to keep them from shifting. By keeping the teeth apart, a night guard removes pressure from the jaw joint and keeps the jaw muscles in a relaxed rather than contracted position.
A custom dental lab-fabricated night guard is best. It looks like a plastic retainer. An impression of the teeth is taken so that the night guard fits the bite precisely. The material used is hard when in the mouth, making for strength and wear resistance. But when warmed in hot water prior to insertion it softens slightly for comfort. There are various designs related to individual needs, but I have had great results with a night guard that fits only on the front six teeth because it takes strain off the back teeth and the power back muscles. Plus, the design is comfortable to wear, being smaller than a full mouth guard.
Over-the-counter night guards are bulky, less comfortable and don't fit as well. Sometimes they are soft, and people will chew them like bubble gum and stress their muscles even more than normal or they may become dislodged in a person’s mouth during sleeping due to poor fit. I only recommend trying an over-the-counter night guard if finances do not allow a custom lab-fabricated guard. However, an over-the counter guard is better than no guard at all. If looking for a guard at the drug store, look for a top of the line one that allows you to pre-warm the guard and fit it to your teeth.
When the facial muscles are in a relaxed state, there is space between the upper and lower teeth. If the upper and lower teeth are touching, then the facial muscles are tightening. The teeth should only touch when eating and then there is food between them to soften the trauma. Often people will hold their mouth closed with teeth touching and not even realize this is an unnatural habit. By being conscious of this habit during the day, it can be stopped. Lightly massage your cheeks, relax the muscles, and keep space between the upper and lower teeth. At night a guard acts to protect the teeth and keeps the relaxed spaced between the upper and lower jaws.
Also reducing stress is always good. Use relaxing techniques, mediation, or yoga.
ENJOY LIFE AND KEEP SMILING!

Steve Stricker set to return to PGA Tour Champions after months battling illness

- Steve StrickerAmerican professional golfer
- Justin ThomasAmerican golfer
Steve Stricker is set to make his return to the PGA Tour Champions at next week’s Insperity Invitational.
Stricker, the victorious 2021 U.S. Ryder Cup captain, was hospitalized in November for two weeks with a soaring white blood cell count and inflammation around his heart, causing him to lose 25 pounds. The captain was down to about 160 pounds when he was able to resume swinging a golf club.
Notah Begay III targeting a return to competitive golf on the PGA Tour Champions
He joked last month that he hoped he would be able to swing like Justin Thomas after he lost all that weight.
"I texted Justin Thomas and I'm like 'Hey, I'm at your weight. If I could only swing it with your speed, I'd be alright,'" Stricker said. "You know, he's 165 dripping wet and swings it super fast and I'm like, maybe losing 25 pounds, I can swing it that fast. Well, no, it hasn't worked out to be that."
Stricker, 55, may not swing it as fast as Thomas, but he has won seven times since joining the PGA Tour Champions in 2017.
It was important for Stricker to get some competitive rounds in before the first major of the season, the Regions Tradition, which will take place May 12-15 at Greystone Golf & Country Club in Birmingham, Alabama. | https://sports.yahoo.com/steve-stricker-set-return-pga-181708415.html?src=rss | 2022-04-23T04:55:54Z | https://sports.yahoo.com/steve-stricker-set-return-pga-181708415.html?src=rss | true | 2 |
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Colorful floats and flamboyant dancers are delighting tens of thousands jammed into Rio de Janeiro's iconic Sambadrome, putting on a delayed Carnival celebration after the pandemic halted the dazzling displays.
Rio de Janeiro’s top samba schools began strutting their stuff late Friday, which was the first evening of the two-night spectacle.
Ketula Melo, 38, a muse in the Imperatriz Leopoldinense school dressed as the Iemanja deity of Afro-Brazilian religions, was thrilled to be back at the Sambadrome.
“These two years were horrible. Now we can be happy again,” Melo said as she was about to enter Friday night wearing a black and white costume made of shells that barely covered her body.
Rio's Sambadrome has been home to the parade since the 1980s, and is a symbol of Brazil's Carnival festivities. During the pandemic, it was a shelter for more than 400 homeless people and also served as a vaccination station.
Brazil confirmed its first cases of the coronavirus in mid-March 2020, just after that year's Carnival festivities came to an end. The 2021 edition was swiftly cancelled due to the rise of the delta variant. More than 663,000 people have died from COVID-19 in Brazil, the second highest of any country in the world, according to Our World in Data, an online research site.
Entire communities rally around the competing samba schools, whose shows are not only a source of pride but also employment since preparations require countless seamstresses, welders, costume designers and more. There are months of rehearsals for dancers and drummers, so participants can learn the tune and the lyrics for their school's song. The pandemic upended these samba schools' way of life for two years.
Sao Paulo also kicked off its Carnival parade Friday evening. Both cities' parades usually take place in February or March, but their mayors in January jointly announced they were postponing Carnival by two months due to concerns about the proliferation of the omicron variant.
The number of COVID-19 cases and deaths has plunged since then, and more than three-quarters of Brazilians are fully vaccinated, according to the country's health ministry. Local authorities have allowed soccer matches with full attendance since March.
Rio authorities said earlier this week those attending the parade would have to show proof of vaccination, but media reports showed that attendees had no trouble getting tickets or entering the Sambadrome without showing the required documents.
A seat in the bleachers cost about $50, and the most expensive seats can cost more than $1,260. Going out in one of the samba schools costs a lot for tourists, but it is often free for people who are involved with the parade all year round, like 66-year-old Juciara do Nascimento Santos. She was among the revelers starting this year's parade with the Imperatriz Leopoldinense samba school.
“We had to take care of ourselves during this time so we could be here today celebrating life,” said Santos, who has paraded with Imperatriz Leopoldinense since 1984. This time she was in the section of the baianas, often reserved for the oldest women of each samba school. Many of these samba schools reported they lost many of their baianas to the virus.
For those unwilling to shell out for the price of admission, there were street parties across Rio — despite City Hall denying authorization for them to take place, citing insufficient time to prepare. Some organizers couldn't care less, arguing that celebrating Carnival wasn't contingent on authorities' consent, and partiers hit the streets in force.

ROSEBURG, Ore. -
Oregon State Police released dashboard camera footage of a collision on Interstate 5 from August 19 around 6:30 p.m. A pickup hit an OSP patrol car while the officer was outside conducting a traffic stop.
The officer had stopped a commercial motor vehicle.
The pickup was traveling at freeway speed, according to OSP, when the driver should have moved over. Oregon's Move Over Law requires that drivers follow specific protocol when an emergency vehicle, roadside assistance vehicle or tow truck is stopped in the road with lights on.
Through the law, cars must move into another lane to make more room for the emergency vehicle. If it is not possible to do so safely, slow down at least five miles below the posted speed. It is always required to leave as much room as possible for the emergency vehicle.
The pickup driver did not move over, hitting the back of the patrol car, turning over and ending up on its side in the slow lane, according to OSP.
The crash was investigated by Douglas County Sheriff's Office, who cited the driver for careless driving and failure to move over for an emergency vehicle.
OSP reported no injuries.
"Not only is moving over for vehicles on the side of the freeway the right thing to do, but it's the LAW!" said OSP. "Help protect those who protect you." | https://www.nbcrightnow.com/news/oregon-state-police-share-dash-cam-video-of-pickup-hitting-patrol-car/article_c2d91718-c2b0-11ec-9111-bf5594640407.html | 2022-04-23T04:57:28Z | https://www.nbcrightnow.com/news/oregon-state-police-share-dash-cam-video-of-pickup-hitting-patrol-car/article_c2d91718-c2b0-11ec-9111-bf5594640407.html | false | 1 |

The sinking of the Moskva has caused some concern for the Chinese Navy as well as for Chinese president Xi Jinping. An analysis by Katsuji Nakazawa for Nikkei Asia outlines that China’s worries concern Liaoning - its primary aircraft carrier - as it is made from remnants of the Soviet-made aircraft carrier Varyag.
The concern stems from the fact that if Varyag’s armour is based on former Soviet standards like the Moskva then it would become a liability for Beijing if it decides to take Taiwan by force.
China has not discounted the possibility that in the future it might use military force to reunite Taipei with Beijing. In that case, the drowning of the Moskva using US-made anti-ship Neptune missiles and Turkish-made Bayraktar drones could lead to concerns for the Chinese president Xi Jinping who aims to modernise the Chinese PLA within this decade.
A person familiar with the development told Nikkei Asia that the Moskva sinking risks making Chinese vessels, especially the Liaoning, look like ‘paper tigers’.
The report says that the Liaoning was constructed using scraps from the Varyag after a dummy company linked to the Chinese military bought it from the Ukrainians who stripped it off its various pieces of equipment. The Chinese used the scrap to give their Navy the first aircraft carrier Liaoning which was then commissioned in 2012 and remains one of China’s greatest assets.
Both Vayrag and Moskva were built in Soviet-ruled Ukraine in the Mykolaiv shipping port in modern-Ukraine. China also bought the Kiev and the Minsk aircraft carriers to conduct research to develop and build their own aircraft carriers. Chinese engineers reverse-engineered these aircraft carriers and using the know-how also developed their own systems.
The Kiev aircraft carrier was discarded by the Chinese Navy and now sits as a display at an amusement park in Tianjin. The Liaoning, however, remains a key asset for the Chinese Navy and it often sails in the Taiwanese straits and their other vessels have been accused of using intimidation tactics towards other vessels and planes - with Australia accusing China earlier this year of shining a laser at one of its surveillance planes.
In case a fight breaks out between Taiwan and China, the Liaoning will be summoned to lead the charge via the seas and take on an important role during such an event. If it has similar armoury like the Moskva, the Chinese Navy could be dealt a heavy blow using anti-ship missiles which the US will likely supply Taiwan with.

Flag raised honoring organ donor Jupiter Paulsen
Fourteen year old Jupiter Paulsen was tragically murdered last year.
FARGO, N.D. (KVRR)- Fourteen year old Jupiter Paulsen was tragically murdered last year.
She was a donor and today a flag was raised in her honor.
“Honestly, I feel really honored that they would call me to do the flag raising ceremony. I’s been really hard overall due to, you know, the magnitude of how she was taken. But the fact that her legacy isn’t going to die by that. It’s wonderful knowing that she saved for people,” said Robert Paulsen III, Jupiter Paulsen’s Dad.
Paulsen says his family decided to go the donor route because it’s what Jupiter would have wanted.
“The fact it was a selfless act of donating her organs. I mean, there is still a chance of doing good through it. Your choice is either continue to let it go darker and not help or you can help. That’s how I see it and we chose to help,” said Paulsen III
Her organs went to four people.
“The fact that she saved people with her last breath, it shows the type of person she really was. Outside of being able to play multiple instruments she was great at drawing, singing. She knows how to crack a smile. You could have the worst day she’ll be right next to you to cheer you up,” said Paulsen III
Sanford Health is trying to get more people to consider becoming donors.
The health system is looking many different organs and say if you’re on the fence, you should get the facts from your healthcare provider.
“It’s extremely important because there is so many people on the donor list, the list grows everyday and it’s also actually very easy,” said Melissa Erickson, Director, Case Management, Nephrology.
If you are interested in becoming a donor you can make that choice at the DMV when renewing your license or getting an ID.

Judge HRs twice, throws out runner, Yanks beat Guardians 4-1
RONALD BLUM | Associated Press
NEW YORK — Aaron Boone liked what he saw from Aaron Judge on Friday night, even before the first pitch.
“Judgy kind of had that look in his eye tonight," the New York Yankees manager said. “Sometimes he tells me he’s got us, but he kind of gave me that look right before the game, like: `I got this.'”
Judge hit a pair of opposite-field home runs and threw out a runner from center field, leading New York over Cleveland 4-1 in the first trip to the Bronx by the renamed Guardians. Reliever Michael King helped keep New York ahead by striking out eight in three innings, fanning his last seven batters.
Judge put the Yankees in front against Eli Morgan (1-1) when he followed a two-out walk to DJ LeMahieu in the third with a drive into the right-field seats, over the new video board that replaced a hand-operated scoreboard. Judge added a solo shot into the short porch in the fifth off Tanner Tully, a 27-year-old left-hander who made his major league debut.
Judge entered with just one home run this season after cutting off talks on opening day for a long-term contract. It was the 17th two-homer game for Judge, who can become a free agent after the World Series.
New York led 3-1 when Andrés Giménez reached on a slow bouncer starting the fifth. He tried for third on Steven Kwan’s single to center but hesitated after rounding second. Judge threw a 90.6 mph strike to third baseman Josh Donaldson, who applied the tag.
“JD put a good tag. I left it a little high for him," Judge said. “The ball kind of checked up on me a little bit. I know they were just playing soccer here, so aybe that had something to do with it."
Isiah Kiner-Falefa added an RBI single in the fourth.
Jameson Taillon (1-1) allowed one run and seven hits in five innings, giving up Franmil Reyes’ home run in the fourth. Taillon kept Cleveland off-balance with 22 curves, 21 fastballs, 14 sliders, 13 changeups, eight sinkers and six cutters.
King allowed one hit and also recorded Kwan’s fourth strikeout in 51 plate appearances this season.
“Ïf you're on their side, I can see why they're excited," Guardians manager Terry Francona said. “That was impressive.”
King went to a 3-0 count on Reyes, his first batter.
“It was actually weird. I felt terrible in my pregame bullpen," King said. “Could not throw a strike. And then I go out there and it's 3-0. And I was like: Uh oh, here we go. And then, I don't know, it just clicked. And it felt good after that. So maybe I got to have more bad bullpens."
For now, Boone is not thinking of switching King to the rotation.
“The book is certainly not closed on that and certainly like he would be capable of that," the manager said, “but in the here and now, just kind of focused on this kind of hybrid role that's so valuable for us."
Aroldis Chapman fanned two in a one-hit ninth for his fourth save in four chances.
José Ramírez, who entered with a big league-best .426 average, went 0 for 4 and dropped to .392. Kwan singled and doubled, raising the rookie’s average to .395, but Cleveland fanned 15 times and went 0 for 8 with runners in scoring position.
Morgan made his first start this season, filling a slot that opened when Cal Quantrill tested positive for COVID-19. Morgan gave up two runs and one hit in three innings.
In a clubhouse filled with smiles and laughter after the game, Judge still wasn't sure what look Boone was referring to.
“It’s tough to see. I haven’t seen it,” Judge said. “I’ve got to ask Boonie next time.”
FIRSTS
Bryan Lavastida singled to right through the shif t in the third for his first big league hit after an 0-for-8 start.
BEHIND THE PLATE
Boone considers Kyle Higashioka and Jose Trevino as a catching tandem and neither the first-choice starter.
BIRTHDAY BOY
Francona turned 63.
“I’ve felt old since 1980,” he said.
SCUFFLING
Yankees outfielder Joey Gallo went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts and was repeatedly booed by the crowd of 41,062 before he was removed in the eighth. He is hitting .122 after going 1 for his last 23, and he turned the wrong way on Amed Rosario’s fourth-inning drive to left, a ball that fell behind him for a double.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Guardians: INFs Yu Chang and Owen Miller and RHP Anthony Castro also remained on the COVID-19 IL. Chang might be eligible to come off the IL on Sunday or Monday.
UP NEXT
Quantrill (0-1) would be activated to start Saturday if he passes COVID-19 protocols, and Tully will be optioned to Triple-A Columbus. LHP Nestor Cortes (0-0) is to start for the Yankees. | https://www.journalgazette.net/sports/professional/mlb/20220423/judge-hrs-twice-throws-out-runner-yanks-beat-guardians-4-1 | 2022-04-23T05:12:25Z | https://www.journalgazette.net/sports/professional/mlb/20220423/judge-hrs-twice-throws-out-runner-yanks-beat-guardians-4-1 | false | 17 |

WASHINGTON — A former White House official told the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol that President Donald Trump's chief of staff, Mark Meadows, had been advised of intelligence reports showing the potential for violence that day, according to transcripts released late Friday night.
Cassidy Hutchinson, who served as a special assistant in the Trump White House, told the committee "there were concerns brought forward" to Meadows ahead of the riot but it was unclear what Meadows did with that information.
"I just remember Mr. Ornato coming in and saying that we had intel reports saying that there could potentially be violence on the 6th," Hutchinson said, presumably referencing Anthony Ornato, a senior Secret Service official. "And Mr. Meadows said: 'All right. Let's talk about it.'"
The filing Friday is the latest volley in a months-long legal fight over the extent to which Meadows, a close Trump ally whose proximity to the president has made him a key target of House Democrats, can be forced to cooperate with the committee's investigation. Though Meadows supplied the committee with thousands of text messages, he refused to sit for an interview, argued that he was immune from having to testify by virtue of his White House position and instead sued the committee.
The filing seeks a court ruling in the committee's favor that would compel Meadows' cooperation. It says the committee has refined the scope of its request to focus on seven specific topics, including testimony about communication with Congress before Jan. 6; about White House plans to replace the leadership of the Justice Department so the department could pursue Trump's bogus claims of election fraud; and about efforts to create alternate, or fake, slates of state electors who could change the outcome of the presidential vote.
The committee released as exhibits to the complaint excerpts of testimony from multiple witnesses it has interviewed, including Hutchinson. Besides describing warnings of potential violence provided to Meadows, she also revealed how the White House counsel's office cautioned against plans to enlist fake electors in states, including in meetings involving Meadows and Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani.
The filing also includes new text messages that Meadows turned over to the committee, including several from GOP members of Congress who were pushing him to act. Meadows' former colleague and close friend, Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, suggests in a late text on Jan. 5 — the day before Congress was due to certify Joe Biden's electoral victory — that Vice President Mike Pence "should call out all electoral votes that he believes are unconstitutional as no electoral votes at all."
Meadows texted back in the early hours of Jan. 6: "I have pushed for this. Not sure it is going to happen." Pence ultimately resisted the overwhelming pressure from Trump and his allies and did not attempt to object to Biden's certification.
Pennsylvania Rep. Scott Perry was texting Meadows as early as Dec. 26: "Mark, just checking in as time continues to count down. 11 days to 1/6 and 25 days to inauguration. We gotta get going!"
In the texts released by the committee, Perry encouraged Meadows to talk to Jeffrey Clark, an assistant attorney general who was sympathetic to Trump's bogus claims of election fraud. A week later, on Jan. 3, Clark attended a meeting at the White House with Trump, where the prospect of elevating Clark to the role of acting attorney general was discussed — but adamantly resisted by Justice Department officials, who threatened to resign, and White House lawyers. Trump ultimately backed down.
The testimony released Friday also reinforced how certain Republican members of Congress were deeply involved in White House discussions about overturning the election in the months leading to the deadly insurrection.
Hutchinson, for instance, described several calls involving Meadows and members of the far-right House Freedom Caucus in late November and early December in which participants discussed what Pence's role could be on Jan. 6, besides the ceremonial role he was required to play.
On those calls, according to Hutchinson, were representatives from Trump's legal team, including Giuliani, Jenna Ellis and Sidney Powell, as well as Jordan and Perry.
Meadows' lawsuit asked a judge to invalidate two subpoenas that he received from the committee, alleging they were "overly broad and unduly burdensome." The suit accused the committee of overreaching by subpoenaing Verizon for his cell phone records.
After the complaint was filed, the select committee sent a contempt of Congress charge against Meadows to the House floor, where it passed on a near-party-line vote. It was the first time the chamber had voted to hold a former member in contempt since the 1830s.
While an earlier contempt referral against former Trump adviser Steve Bannon resulted in an indictment, the Justice Department has been slower to decide whether to prosecute Meadows.
The criminal case against Meadows is more complex than that presented against Bannon, in part because Meadows was a White House chief of staff and because he had begun to cooperate with the committee, even providing documents to the nine-member panel.
Meadows' attorney, George Terwilliger, has previously defended his client by noting that due to Meadows' willingness to turn over records, he should not be compelled to appear for an interview. Terwilliger did not immediately return an email seeking comment Friday night. | https://m.startribune.com/official-meadows-had-been-warned-of-possible-1-6-violence/600167275/ | 2022-04-23T05:17:54Z | https://m.startribune.com/official-meadows-had-been-warned-of-possible-1-6-violence/600167275/ | false | 24 |

Meesho celebrates small businesses in latest IPL campaign
The campaign, titled ‘Apna Cricket Adda’, showcases how small shops and businesses act as a unifying force during the cricket season
Meesho has launched its latest campaign to celebrate small, hyperlocal businesses, tapping into the cricket fever surrounding the T-20 League.
It is not uncommon to see cricket fans huddled around small stores or corner shops, catching up on the latest on-field action on their way back from work or while running errands. With so many reasons to follow the game, whether it's the world-famous helicopter shots or toe-crushing yorkers, these small shops and businesses have taught us how to celebrate cricket by bringing people together.
The campaign, titled ‘Apna Cricket Adda’, showcases how small shops and businesses act as a unifying force during the cricket season.
Meesho’s latest campaign celebrates every shopkeeper who keeps their doors open for Indians from diverse walks of life, joined together by their shared love for the sport.
This openness reflects Meesho’s own philosophy of welcoming sellers by not charging commissions, lowering barriers to entry, improving logistical infrastructure for Tier-2 markets and boosting the discoverability of hyperlocal businesses, thereby giving them a pan-India reach.
Laksminarayan Swaminathan, CXO, Supply Growth at Meesho, said, “Every year, the passion for cricket in our country hits fever pitch during the season. Small stores are an indispensable part of the festive mood that pervades towns and cities across India during this time. With the cricketing season in full swing, we thought this campaign would be an ideal celebration of MSMEs fuelling India’s passion for cricket.”
"Through this film we have tried to capture the essence of India and cricket and add to that the spirit of entrepreneurship and Meesho. To showcase the joys and aspirations, the hopes and fears, the very vibe of Indians everywhere,” said George, Chief Creative Officer, Cryptic Intel.

Neymar, Ronaldinho, Marcelo, Cristiano Ronaldo jr and… Genoa. What will these football stars and the Rossoblu club have in common? Answer: Iran Ferreira, aka Luva de Pedreiro (translated from Portuguese: mason’s gloves), star of the social media of the moment with 15 million followers on TikTok and 12.5 on Instagram. This morning, on Instagram, the young Brazilian was filmed wearing the Griffin shirt. A pleasant surprise, which in seven hours allowed the Genoa Instagram channel to increase by 1000 followers per hour. “Receba” (this is de Pedreiro’s scream at every super goal published on social media, which has now become his trademark and imitated by dozens of football stars) in recent weeks he was also invited by Vasco da Gama, the team of which he is a very big fan and just recently passed into the hands of 777 Partners, the holding that also controls the rossoblù club. And who knows that soon he will also stop in Genoa …

Easter is an enjoyable time for many reasons—it celebrates the arrival of spring, it gives us an opportunity to enjoy good company and delicious food, and it's serves as the perfect excuse to eat plenty of chocolate (what more could you want out of a holiday?). But perhaps one of the most exciting aspects of Easter is the egg hunt. For kids, few things compare to the unbridled joy of searching for the oval-shaped goodies and seeing what's inside. For parents, it's an opportunity to watch your children partake in a timeless tradition. While most people opt to fill their Easter eggs with candy, there's plenty of other options you can turn to that are equally as fun. "Having diversity in your egg fillings keeps it exciting for those filling, finding and opening them," says Jove Meyer, owner and creative director of Jove Meyer Events." Meyer encourages you to think creatively when deciding what to add to your eggs. To provide some inspiration, we turned to several event planners who shared their thoughts on what you should consider packing your Easter eggs with this year. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2578162825222/letters-cheers-for-non-candy-easter-treats | 2022-04-23T05:22:03Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2578162825222/letters-cheers-for-non-candy-easter-treats | false | 50 |

Russian authorities have opened a criminal case against a prominent opposition activist and remanded him in pre-trial detention Friday for allegedly spreading “false information” about the country’s armed forces.
A court in Moscow ordered Vladimir Kara-Murza Jr. held in detention until June 12. Lawyer Vadim Prokhorov told reporters that the false information case against Kara-Murza cited a March 15 speech to the Arizona House of Representatives, in which he denounced the war in Ukraine, as the basis for the latest charges. The activist rejects the accusations.
Russian media reported that similar charges were being drawn up against outspoken tech executive Ilya Krasilshchik, the former publisher of Russia’s top independent news site, Meduza. The moves against the two Kremlin critics are part of a widening crackdown against individuals speaking out against Russia’s war in Ukraine.
Russia adopted a law criminalizing spreading false information about its military shortly after its troops rolled into Ukraine in late February. The offense is punishable by up to 15 years in prison. Human rights advocates so far have counted 32 casestargeting critics of the invasion.
Kara-Murza is a journalist and a former associate of late Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov, who was assassinated in 2015, and oligarch-turned-dissident Mikhail Khodorkovsky, who was jailed for years in Russia. Kara-Murza himself was hospitalized with poisoning symptoms twice, in 2015 and 2017.
Arizona Speaker of the House Rusty Bowers denounced the Russian government’s moves against Kara-Murza.
“I am deeply disturbed over news reports regarding the arrest and political persecution of Russian opposition leader Vladimir Kara-Murza,” Bowers said in a statement. “Don’t forget about these freedom fighters, like Vladimir Kara-Murza. We must remember names!”
Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey tweeted: “Kara-Murza’s brave opposition to Putin has inspired us all. Arizona will always stand for freedom. And we will support those like Kara-Murza who take a stand against oppression.”
Krasilshchik, the tech executive who left Russia in early March, told Meduza that he had learnt about the case against him from news reports, which by Friday evening remained unconfirmed. Russian media have linked the charges to an Instagram post, featuring what Krasilshchik said was the photo of charred human remains in the Kyiv suburb of Bucha.
“You can’t recover after seeing the images from Bucha,” the photo caption read. “You feel that the army of this country of ours, it’s capable of anything … and so is the country. That we’re just an order away from mass executions.”
Also Friday, veteran Russian human rights activist Lev Ponomaryov said in an online statement that he was “temporarily” leaving the country.
Ponomaryov, a former State Duma lawmaker who had helped found Russia’s oldest human rights organization in the 1980s, has been a vocal opponent of Russia’s attack on Ukraine, and initiated multiple public petitions against it.
In his statement Friday, he claimed to be “allowing himself to take a vacation” to “look after my health …, but also think through the difficult situation in which we all find ourselves, and plan further (campaigning) activities, which we cannot stop by any means.”
“I doubt my time away will be long,” he added.
In a separate move Friday, the Russian justice ministry added Kara-Murza and several other prominent Kremlin critics to the registry of “foreign agents.” The designation implies additional government scrutiny and carries strong pejorative connotations that can discredit those on the list.
The new additions to the registry included Leonid Volkov, top ally of jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny, and Alexei Venediktov, former editor-in-chief of Russia’s oldest critical radio station, Ekho Moskvy. The station was taken off the airwaves shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Chris Paul scored 19 of his 28 points in the fourth quarter and the Phoenix Suns overcame Devin Booker’s absence to beat the New Orleans Pelicans 114-111 on Friday night in Game 3 of the first-round series.
Deandre Ayton added 28 points and 17 rebounds to help the top-seeded Suns take a 2-1 series lead. Paul scored 15 of Phoenix’s first 23 points of the final quarter. He also had 14 assists.
Booker strained his right hamstring Tuesday night after scoring 31 first-half points in a 125-114 home loss. He sat on the bench during Game 3.
Mikal Bridges had 17 points for the Suns. Backup center center JaVale McGee scored 15 points on 7-of-8 shooting as the Suns hurt the Pelicans inside.
Brandon Ingram led New Orleans with 34 points. CJ McCollum had 30.
Game 4 is Sunday night in New Orleans.
Jose Alvarado kept the Pelicans in it in the fourth with seven consecutive points, but Paul answered with five straight points and an assist to tie it at 90 with 6:32 left. Paul then had eight consecutive points for a 98-93 lead.
The Suns took their biggest lead, 66-53, early in the third quarter, but New Orleans used a 12-0 run over the next 2:43 to pull to 66-63. McCollum was the catalyst with a 3-pointer and a layup, and New Orleans pulled to 81-79 entering the fourth quarter on the strength of a 31-22 third-period run.
McCollum’s 16-foot jumper with 5:13 left in the first half tied it at 43, but while the ball was in the air, Pelicans forward Jaxson Hayes barreled into Jae Crowder, who was standing on the baseline near the basket. Hayes’ shoulder-to-chest foul was reviewed and earned him a Flagrant 2 foul and an ejection.
That dustup sparked a 16-5 Phoenix run to close the half, and the Suns led 59-48 at intermission.
Ayton, who was held to just 10 points in a Game 2 loss to New Orleans, had 21 points in the half on 10-of-14 shooting, with four of his baskets coming on feeds from Paul.
TIP INS
Suns: SG Landry Shamet has the confidence of coach Monty Williams. “He the ability to score the ball and play-make, get downhill,” Williams said. “But defensively, he fights, and that’s something that we’ve noticed with him. He’ll make plays blocking shots at the rim. He’ll stick his nose in there to rebound on the backside. So he’s been a guy that we’ve been able to rely on in situations like this.” He had five points, missing all five of his 3-point attempts.
Pelicans: Reserve PG Devonte Graham, who has struggled offensively, had 11 first-points, including three 3-pointers. … Coach Willie Green said he could sense a growing momentum among Pelicans fans in what is normally considered a football city. “We’re thankful and grateful for our fans and the support that we’ve been getting,” he said. “We’re trying to put a team forward that represents the city well, and I think we’re moving in the right direction, and I think people can feel that.”

Legislative Update: Tax relief, public safety and education highlight approved budget
The state budget led a host of important bills approved by lawmakers this week as the 2022 legislative session begins to close.
The General Assembly, which is looking to adjourn soon, has completed the majority of its business with most of the remaining action pending on bills that were behind the budget due to its cost.
This year’s no-debt budget highlights lawmakers' continuous efforts to cut taxes for Tennesseans, maintain fiscal responsibility, ensure public safety and prioritize education. It invests $52.58 billion in the state of Tennessee for the 2022/2023 fiscal year, with total legislative initiatives making up $84.1 million recurring and $570.8 million in non-recurring expenditures.
Rainy Day, surplus funds
To maintain fiscal responsibility, lawmakers are making a $250 million investment in the state’s Rainy Day Fund, which serves as Tennessee’s savings account to withstand economic downturns. This allocation raises the fund to a historic level of $1.8 billion.
Another key conservative component of this budget is that $1.3 billion of Tennessee’s $3 billion revenue surplus is set aside for future use. Additionally, the budget uses the surplus for many one-time expenditures to prevent the growth of state government but still provide resources and relief to important initiatives.
In this budget, lawmakers continued their commitment to Tennessee taxpayers by ensuring citizens can keep more of their hard-earned money. With additional tax and financial relief appropriated by the General Assembly, Tennesseans will be able to recognize a total of $281 million in tax and financial savings in the 2022/2023 fiscal year.
Everyday Tennesseans will benefit from the financial and tax relief provided in this year’s budget. As proposed by Governor Lee, it includes $80 million for a grocery sales tax holiday for August 2022. Lawmakers also wanted to ensure there was financial relief in the budget that only Tennesseans could take advantage of and not out-of-state residents who shop and do business in Tennessee, so the budget provides $121.6 million to eliminate the state’s $29 license plate registration fee for one year.
Lawmakers allocated $9 million to continue their multi-year commitment to eliminate the professional privilege tax. This appropriation will remove the annual $400 tax physicians pay in order to practice their profession. In 2019, lawmakers passed legislation eliminating the professional privilege tax for 15 licensed professions.
Another significant tax cut includes $68 million for a sales tax reduction on broadband supplies. This tax reduction will incentivize companies to accelerate the deployment of needed broadband services to rural communities.
Other reductions in taxes added by the legislature are $2.8 million to reduce sales tax on agricultural machinery and equipment to mirror tax reductions that manufacturers in Tennessee currently receive and $360,000 to eliminate a tax on gold, bullion and silver.
Stadium funds
Because lawmakers take great care when allocating taxpayer dollars to large initiatives, after much consideration, the Senate voted to remove a budget item proposed by Gov. Bill Lee to issue a $500 million bond to help complete a new covered stadium that would be home to the Tennessee Titans. Senators expressed concerns about the wisdom of such a large investment in a sporting venue. Ultimately, the proposal was added by the House of Representatives and the final version of the budget included the $500 million bond authorization for the Titans stadium and $55 million recurring to cover the debt service.
Education
Education remains a top priority in the 2022/2023 budget. It includes the largest increase in K-12 education funding in the history of Tennessee. With an additional $1 billion in K-12 funding, Tennessee is investing a total of $6.5 billion in K-12 education. This includes $750 million for the Tennessee Investment in Student Achievement (TISA) Act, along with $125 million to increase teacher salaries. The General Assembly also provided $20 million for Humphrey County Schools to cover losses from devastating floods last year.
Many significant investments in higher education were made including:
- $200 million for TCAT infrastructure improvements
- $643,500 to increase middle college scholarships from $1,250 to $2,000 per semester
- $19.4 million to alleviate TCAT Waitlist
- $500 million to CTE grants for high school and middle school students
- $88 million for GIVE and HOPE expansions bringing the scholarship award to $5,700 per year for juniors and seniors and $4,500 per year for freshman and sophomores
- $90 million for the outcomes-based funding formula
- $66.3 million for a 4% salary increase within higher education
- $18 million to build a new TEST hub at UT Martin
Public Safety
To ensure Tennessee remains a great place to live, work and raise a family, lawmakers made significant investments in public safety. A $25 million appropriation was included in the budget for key legislation protecting victims of violent crimes and providing true accountability for those who commit crimes. This “truth in sentencing” legislation requires a person convicted of certain violent offenses to serve 85% to 100% of their sentence before becoming eligible for release.
Lawmakers added $7.5 million in one-time money to the $500,000 proposed by the governor for competitive grants to be awarded to volunteer fire departments and rescue squads for equipment and supplies, bringing the total to $8 million. Also added by the legislature was $6 million to increase the per day rate paid to local jails from $39 per inmate per day to $41.
U.S. southern border and building the wall — The Senate this week passed House Joint Resolution 652 urging Congress to complete a secure border wall on the U.S. southern border. The resolution states the General Assembly “strongly support[s] the completion of the secure border wall across our nation's southern border and strongly urge[s] the United States Congress to immediately act to fund the construction of such border wall without delay.”
Strengthening protections for police and service animals — The Senate this week passed legislation known as Joker’s Law that would strengthen the penalty for anyone who harms a law enforcement or service animal in Tennessee. Senate Bill 2013 increases the penalty for anyone who knowingly and unlawfully kills a police dog, fire dog, search and rescue dog, service animal or police horse. Offenders would now be charged with a Class B felony.
Restitution for children of victims of DUI offenders — Legislation that provides restitution for minor children when a parent is killed by a drunk driver now heads to the governor’s desk for his signature. Passed by the Senate this week, Senate Bill 2103 requires the convicted offender to pay restitution in the form of child maintenance to each of the victim’s children until each child reaches 18 years of age and has graduated from high school. The bill requires the court to determine a reasonable payment after considering factors including the financial needs of the child and the financial needs of the surviving parent, among other criteria.
Mail-order abortions — The Senate this week voted to approve legislation that creates criminal and civil penalties for anyone who provides abortion-inducing drugs through telemedicine and subsequently supplies those drugs via courier, delivery or mail service. Abortions via mail have become increasingly common since the Federal Drug Administration approved telehealth and mail distribution of abortion-inducing drugs in 2020. Current law in Tennessee already bans mail-order abortions. Senate Bill 2281 strengthens current law and patient safety measures by putting further restrictions on the use of telemedicine and courier delivery. The bill intends to keep patients from developing serious, life-threatening complications during an unsupervised chemical abortion at home. The bill creates a Class E felony for anyone who intentionally, knowingly or recklessly violates this act. Failure to comply with this act provides a basis for a civil action against a healthcare provider.

The Trinity High School softball team is sure making it hard for head coach Shawn Gray to be critical in the postgame meetings.
Take Friday afternoon’s game against powerful West Allegheny in a critical Class 5A Section 4 affair.
Maybe he could have scolded the offense for not producing enough runs, but the Hillers hung a 10-spot on the Indians and needed only five innings to do so. It was the ninth straight game Trinity had reached double-digit runs in a game.
Or maybe he could have tore into the defense but Trinity did not commit an error or allow a run in those five innings, fielded every batted ball cleanly and made the play where they should have been made on Trinity’s turf.
Possibly, the pitching? Forgetaboutit. Taylor Dunn was magnificent in five shutout innings. She struck out eight, walked two and allowed only one hit. She was lights-out good when it counted most, wiggling out of 2-on-none-out jam in the first inning, then becoming almost unhittable after that.
Even when things could have gone wrong, they turned out right. Pinch-runner Hanna Stedman was on third base when cleanup hitter Hanna Suhoski, who had three RBI, smacked a line drive that caught Stedman on the foot, sending her down to the artificial turf in pain. But Stedman had taken her lead in foul territory. Instead of her being out if she had been in fair territory, it was called a foul ball. Stedman scored on a single by Dunn.
Yes, there was little if anything to criticize after Trinity’s 10-0 slapdown of West Allegheny which might be why the team lined up and danced and sang a song blaring from a speaker instead of listening to a long postgame talk by Gray.
“Phenomenal pitching by Taylor Dunn. She had a ton of strikeouts for us,” Gray said. “We’ve stuck to our game plan going in there. Our girls were pumped, keeping in the zone and looking for their pitch.”
That’s why Trinity holds first place in the section with a 5-0 record and West Allegheny is second at 4-1. The two teams meet again Friday in Imperial.
What excited Gray a lot was the production from the bottom third, which produced three of the runs and five hits.
“Our four-run inning (in the third) started with the bottom of our lineup,” Gray said. “I’m confident that either at the top or bottom of our lineup, we’re going to draft runs.”
Dunn, hitting eighth, had two hits and four RBI in the middle of scoring 10 runs over the third and fourth innings.
“I tried a different changeup and I really liked it,” said Dunn. “I was proud of that. It’s nice to have a cushion in case something happens.
Meanwhile, West Allegheny head coach Mindi McFate held her postgame talk. And boy did she have a lot to talk about.
“Anytime you have runners on and don’t score, it’s a momentum-killer,” said McFate, referring West Allegheny’s first inning. “It was only the first inning. There was a lot of game left. It was a missed opportunity but you have to believe other opportunities are going to come along.” | https://observer-reporter.com/sports/high_school_sports/schools_list/trinity/hillers-nearly-flawless-in-wipeout-of-west-allegheny/article_a7292d5a-c288-11ec-8903-37d62dc63acb.html | 2022-04-23T05:47:35Z | https://observer-reporter.com/sports/high_school_sports/schools_list/trinity/hillers-nearly-flawless-in-wipeout-of-west-allegheny/article_a7292d5a-c288-11ec-8903-37d62dc63acb.html | true | 1 |
While shortstop Jeremy Pena continues to impress in his Major League debut with the defending American League champion Houston Astros, his former University of Maine teammates are trying to make their way up the minor league ladder to reach the Major Leagues.
Among those players are Bangor’s Justin Courtney, a reliever for the New York Mets’ High Class A Brooklyn Cyclones; Moscow’s Cody Laweryson, a pitcher for the Minnesota Twins’ High-A Cedar Rapids Kernels; Hampden’s Alex McKenney, a pitcher who is in the Philadelphia Phillies’ extended spring training facility in Clearwater, Florida; Chris Bec, a catcher with Toronto’s AA affiliate the New Hampshire Fisher Cats; and Nick Sinacola, who is pitching for San Francisco’s Class A California League team in San Jose.
The 24-year-old Pena, meanwhile, already has recorded three three-hit games through his first 11 Major League games and is currently hitting .308 with three doubles, a triple, two homers and four runs batted in. The third round draft pick has also scored seven runs and has made just one error in 47 chances while being involved in six double plays.
The 25-year-old Courtney is off to a good start in the South Atlantic League with two saves and a win in his three outings to date for Brooklyn.
He has allowed four hits over 5 ⅓ innings with eight strikeouts and four walks. Opponents are hitting .190 off him.
“I haven’t given up any hard-hit balls so far this season,” Courtney said.
“I have been getting a lot of ground balls. I’ve had good pitch extension on my four-seam fastball, releasing it closer to the plate, and it has had great carry through the [strike] zone.”
He has also been throwing a curve and said his change-up has been effective against both righties and lefties. “It’s 10 mph slower than my fastball,” Courtney said.
His fastball has been averaging 93 mph and has topped out at 96, he said.
“I’ve been trying to throw all three pitches for strikes,” he said.
He said the Cyclones’ stadium, Maimonides Park, is “one of the coolest places I’ve ever played. The Coney Island Amusement Park is in the background. And the fans really get into it. It’s a great place to play.”
He enjoys the coaching staff and his teammates and said they have the league’s best bullpen even though it is primarily made up of pitchers who were either Division III pitchers in college, signed by the Mets off independent league teams, or pitchers who were released, as Courtney was by the Los Angeles Angels.
“We’re an unconventional group which is cool. We can all relate to getting passed over,” he said.
They will play a 140-game schedule and he gets to visit New York City on days off.
“I’m having a blast,” he said.
The 23-year-old Laweryson, a 14th round selection, has made three appearances for Cedar Rapids and is 0-0 with two holds. He has allowed three hits and three earned runs in 5 ⅓ innings with six strikeouts and three walks. Opposing hitters are batting .188 off him.
The 22-year-old Sinacola, a seventh round pick of the Giants, is 0-1 with a 3.00 ERA but has struck out 13 in just nine innings spanning three appearances. He has allowed only four hits and batters are hitting just .129 against him.
The 26-year-old Bec, a fifth round pick of Toronto, has one hit in 10 at-bats for New Hampshire and has a stolen base.
McKenney is recovering from shoulder inflammation but said Thursday that the shoulder feels “really good now” and that he is scheduled to see his first game action of the spring in an intrasquad contest on Friday.
The 22-year-old was 2-1 with a 1.56 ERA for the Clearwater Threshers in the Class A Florida State League last season with 17 strikeouts and 10 walks in 17 ⅓ innings. Opponents hit .172 against him. | https://bangordailynews.com/2022/04/23/sports/5-former-umaine-baseball-players-hope-to-join-major-leagues-joam40zk0w/ | 2022-04-23T05:47:56Z | https://bangordailynews.com/2022/04/23/sports/5-former-umaine-baseball-players-hope-to-join-major-leagues-joam40zk0w/ | false | 1 |

His first contact with the media was immediate. And not just right, but in a way that was probably never seen before in the Netherlands. The seventeen-year-old Johan Cruijff was “shy”, the reporter thought, “with downcast eyes”, but what he said showed his own view. It was the Monday after his second match in Ajax, November 1, 1964. Just like the week before, the skinny teenager had scored. After Cruijff had told something about his childhood, he pointed the surprised newspaper reporter to Feyenoord-Ajax next Sunday. Ajax had started very badly this season, but thanks to a surprising 5-0 victory over PSV, many spectators would still come to the Kuip, he knew. That was good for Feyenoord’s turnover.
The conversation took place in textile trade Litrico in the Nieuwe Hoogstraat in Amsterdam, where Cruijff worked as an apprentice salesman. Smiling shyly, he posed with folded pajamas in his hand, an oversized suit jacket over his narrow shoulders. And this first photo was also allowed to be there. The readers of newspaper The time (local edition) thus became acquainted with an engaging young footballer who looked beyond his nose. There was no cliche that afternoon.
Status of philosopher
An endless series of interviews, photos, films, analyzes and reports would follow. And whatever the reason, his lyrics were never boring. To the extent that they were incomprehensible, they somehow caught the imagination. Time and again what De Tijd reporter Koos de Boer had noticed in November 1964: it was as if Cruijff was being turned on by the questions. The interviews stimulated the goal getter cum playmaker, captain, trainer and analyst to think aloud. The early school leaver, better at math than at language, thus received help from outside, as it were. He rewarded the journalists with idiosyncratic ideas and took all the time they need. For example, the media gave the brilliant footballer, who read little and rarely wrote anything, the status of a philosopher. It was a fruitful, lifelong collaboration. “From the beginning I have seen the press as a necessary evil,” he says in the VPRO documentary JC, which airs Monday. “They need me as much as I need them.” When asked what he was going to do after his sports career, he said at a young age: “Public relations.”
Perhaps Hendrik Johannes Cruijff’s marriage to the mass media was even better than that to Danny Coster. The rise of the enfant terrible in the second half of the 1960s coincided with the growth of color magazines and human interest pages in the newspapers. Soloists do better than collectives, which suited Cruijff very well, because he soon claimed his role as “loner in the team”, as he called himself. That caused friction at Ajax, but Cruijffie, always looking to cash in on his market value, gave interviews and closed commercial deals as much as he wanted. He posed patiently in the clothes his fashion-conscious wife had laid out for him and with the long hair she liked. Cruijff, for example, seemed to fit in seamlessly with the left-wing zeitgeist, with which he, as a descendant of a family of market vendors and shopkeepers, actually had nothing to do with it. The individualism in society did the rest.
He would never leave both partners, Danny and the media, although he has arguably less wrangled with the media than with his wife, who was equally unruly. According to intimates, Danny from Amsterdam South was the only one who told him the truth. If a Hilversum or Catalan television interviewer ever wanted Cruijff to be sheepish when he had proclaimed abracadabra, after returning home the oracle could in such cases say ‘well, so there was no string to be tied to that!’ are welcomed.
‘John the Rebel’
Cruijff fought countless conflicts with his opponents through the media. In the eighties he even made an alliance with Jaap de Groot (The Telegraph), Frits Barend (New Revue) and Johan Derksen (VI) to make life miserable for what he sees as underhanded Ajax management. Also in Spain there were well-known journalists who did odd jobs for him in exchange for exclusive interviews. The widely publicized quarrels contributed to the myth of ‘Johan the Rebel’. The fact that Ajax and FC Barcelona (and the other clubs where he played) often had the patience of a saint with the sometimes unpredictable coach and his stream of ideas was less relevant.
The myth surrounding Cruijff has only grown stronger after his death in March 2016. So much so that, just to name a few, VI this week makes a defender of Inter Milan, who had put up a good resistance against Cruijff in the European Cup final of 1972, eleven years older in a hagiographic review. And a lot more helpless. The defender Gabriele Oriali, who was only nineteen in 1972, is portrayed as the ‘almost thirty-year-old Oriali’ who ‘had never experienced such an elusive figure as Cruijff’ in his long career.
The facts of that final – Cruijff had been on the ball half as often as usual; according to his journalist friend Maarten de Vos, he had only shown his class “only occasionally” – they lost out against the images. Especially against the images of his two goals; Ajax won 2-0. His goals were beautiful and because they have been repeated endlessly, it seems as if Cruijff played great in that final. He often disappoints in finals, see for example that of 1974 at the World Cup, but apparently that is not considered mediagenic.
On the occasion of his 75th birthday on Monday 25 April, the umpteenth coffee table book with beautiful photos will be published. Every day ‘unknown’ images are posted on the internet, many a talk show takes a look at it, there will be a four-part podcast and the NOS recently treated us to images of Cruijff for an hour. And now the VPRO is also broadcasting a long (and more coherent) documentary. Both without commentary: the images should speak for themselves.
In the VPRO documentary JC we see a nervous Cruijff walk onto the field of the Olympic Stadium for his farewell match in November 1978. At the same time we hear Jan Wolkers reading a poem. A goosebump moment. Well found. But then something very different from Cruijff’s life immediately follows. The horror of that farewell match, the unforgettable 0-8 against Bayern Munich, would have disturbed the intended intoxication of the Cruijff feeling.
inimitable artist
The media made Holland’s most fascinating sportsman of all time even stronger and more unapproachable than he was and they continue to do so to this day. The camera loved him whether he was holding folded pajamas or tricking a defender. In the clumsy play with the feet he always seemed in balance, due to his almost supernatural anticipation and spatial awareness, his alert jumping up and landing on his forefeet, so that he resembled a dancer, after which he hit the ball with both feet, and – very special – with both sides of those feet and if necessary with his heels and ankles, could move. He felt like an artist and he was, an often inimitable artist who left no one indifferent.
But where his creativity actually came from, what was the source of his urge to prove, his misty conflicts, his eternal lust for attack and stubbornly playful nature: it remains a mystery as long as the Cruijff myth is blown up and our view of the real Cruijff becomes taken away. With all those well-intentioned tributes, it just makes it less interesting. They do him short.
You can say, it would be something. That hassle with its sponsors and directors has evaporated, nothing that is crooked needs to be straightened out. His brilliance was directly related to his psychological and physical shortcomings, but they only complicate it. Let’s dream. Fortunately, we still have the images, and they never bore.
The marriage between Cruijff and the mass media was excellent. And as it should be, the media continues to behave like a widow who wants to know no harm.

When it comes to the top-rated defensive backs out west, the Oregon Ducks already have a commitment from the second-best guy on the list, 4-star CB Cole Martin.
Buy Ducks TicketsOn Friday afternoon, they made the cut for the top guy on that list, 4-star CB Caleb Presley.
Presley, who is a 6-foot-0, 180-pound player from Washington, is ranked as the No. 9 CB in the nation, and No. 83 player overall. He currently stands as the No. 2 guy in the state of Washington, and he was a high school teammate at Rainier Beach with Josh Conerly, the 5-star OT who just committed to Oregon earlier this month.
Presley listed Oregon in his top-12 alongside the likes of Alabama, Notre Dame, LSU, Michigan, Michigan State, Stanford, Texas A&M, UCLA, USC, Utah, and Washington.
Presley paid a visit to Eugene a couple of weeks ago, and will likely make a return trip before too long as well.

THIBODAUX, La. (AP) — A colorful mural adorns a wall above a baby’s crib and a stack of kid-friendly board games. A chest filled with toys sits in another corner next to a bookshelf packed with books for children.
This is not a child’s bedroom but one of two newly created rooms at the Lafourche Parish jail.
The Thibodaux facility added the rooms to provide inmates a warmer setting while their young children visit.
“The whole idea with the family room is when an inmate comes in to serve their time, the family serves time as well because they are separated from their loved ones, but when they visit them, they’re coming to a jail,” said Capt. Karla Beck, assistant warden at the jail. “That’s scary for children and families. We wanted to have a place that’s more conducive to an actual family environment.”
Unlike the cold, institutionalized environment with loud slamming doors and metal bars, the family rooms were created to put kids at ease, Beck said.
“When you go into the family rooms, they don’t look like your typical jail,” she said. “We wanted families to feel comfortable being there. Even though it’s still a correctional complex, it doesn’t have the look of one.”
In one room, a mural reads “Together is my favorite place to be!” It was painted by an inmate and depicts various forest animals gathered on the banks of a blue river that runs through green hills under a shining sun and a rainbow.
“I told the artist that I wanted something that when families were visiting there, it would be something happy they can look upon,” Beck said. “So he came up with the idea of the animals. It kind of shows there is more to these individuals than the crimes they committed. They’re here serving their time, repaying their debt to society, and at the same time are trying to give back.”
The rooms are part of the jail’s mediation services to help inmates repair relationships before they are released, Beck said.
“It’s not just a feel-good program where we’re catering to the inmates,” she said. “The whole idea behind this is to reduce the chance for recidivism so we can return them as productive members of society, which in turn leads to more community safety.”
The services are open to any type of relationship that inmates feel they need to repair, Beck said.
“It could be a family member, a job supervisor, a neighbor, a landlord or anybody they feel that the relationship needs to be repaired so that they have a better chance on the outside,” she said.
Social services counselor Ajah Breaux works with inmates to help them mend relationships before they are released, which is not a quick fix.
“We try to return people better but not necessarily faster,” Breaux said. “We want them to get out and be better, not just to get out quicker.”
Veronica Bard, executive director of the ReEntry Mediation Institute of Louisiana, an organization that seeks to decrease recidivism and improve an incarcerated person’s transition into society with support from loved ones, commended the family room.
“We work with prisons statewide, but our staff really likes that particular jail,” Bard said. “They really follow national best practices. They’ve been doing a great job, and my staff is always amazed. There are basic human needs that you generally don’t see in other prisons, so it’s definitely a humanizing kind of room. The fact they have beds there and toys for the kids really invokes what a family needs.”
The 118,095-square-foot jail, which opened in 2018, emphasizes rehabilitation, education and mental health, officials said. The jail also educates inmates about parenting, job interviews and earning high-school or higher-education credits.
According to the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections, 44% of the nearly 14,000 inmates released from incarceration every year return to crime within five years. The Lafourche jail aims to change that trend, Beck said.
“The old system of ‘lock them up and throw away the key’ wasn’t working,” she said. “What do you expect you will get from that? If you don’t provide anything to change them as a person while they’re incarcerated, you’re going to get a worse person coming out.” | https://www.manisteenews.com/news/article/Not-a-typical-jail-Two-new-rooms-help-ease-17121323.php | 2022-04-23T06:02:16Z | https://www.manisteenews.com/news/article/Not-a-typical-jail-Two-new-rooms-help-ease-17121323.php | true | 11 |
There's always time for tea - and as the weather warms we are approaching the season of walks in the park, sitting outside a cafe with friends and staying out until the evening. And while the more hardcore caffeine fans amongst us (myself firmly included) might still need a cup of coffee to kickstart the day, in the long afternoons I've always preferred a quality cup of tea.
So when I heard there was a great tea shop/theatre combined, I knew I had to visit before the summer crowds rolled in. In fact, MyLondon previously included it in a list of the best places in the capital to get a cup of tea, based on its reviews. The Tea House Theatre is on most lists of recommendations for a good cuppa. By day, a charming tea shop, by night, a restaurant and theatre.
And as it was only 15 minutes away by train, I hopped along one lunchtime and paid it a visit myself.
First impressions
The Tea House Theatre is right next to Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens and is therefore in one of the most picturesque settings you can find in central London. It looks as if you've accidentally wandered into a sleepy country village with outdoor tables, umbrellas and barely anyone around.
I was initially confused whether it was, in fact, open, but once I'd established I hadn't misread the opening times on Google I pushed open the door and found a charming interior, with each table home to a particular homemade cake, fun posters and slogans as well as a load of theatre equipment. So far, so good.
Time for tea
So now it was time for tea. There were dozens of blends to choose from, including several house blends which sounded very tempting, but I decided to go for a classic Early Grey to keep things simple.
The china teacup and saucer were adorable, as was the handknitted tea cosy to keep the pot warm. The tea itself was flavourful, delicate and not too fragrant. It was a great pot of Earl Grey - although I was given what looked to be a pint of milk all to myself, which I couldn't help thinking was pretty wasteful. Still looking good.. But little was I to know it would all go downhill from there.
Awful food
Yes, I know 'awful' might be a strong word. But I'm being completely honest - and I almost never criticise a food dish. I've never sent anything back or asked for even a partial refund at any food venue. But this pushed me remarkably close.
I ordered the halloumi salad, which came with croutons, olives and mixed peppers. And when it arrived within five minutes and I saw the colourful plate, I was excited. But my high expectations were dashed almost immediately.
The salad itself was essentially lots of lettuce leaves, with some chopped up peppers thrown in. Then a sprinkling of olives and croutons, with the halloumi dumped on top. Now I love halloumi, but even I had a problem with how much cheese was in this 'salad'. It looked like a whole block had been chopped up into about four pieces and grilled - leading to not quite cooked cheese in the middle and a tough block to cut.
But what made the salad inedible for me was the huge quantity of balsamic vinegar poured all over the bowl. We all love a salad dressing, but every bite of the salad just had this lingering taste of sour vinegar - think salt and vinegar crisps in salad form. Not pleasant. I only ate a third of the dish, if that, before giving up and resolving to have a snack at home instead.
Conclusions
Now I was prepared to forgive the food for not being great because it was, after all, the tea that I went for - and the tea was fine. Then I asked to pay.
The bill came to £20.25. Yes, £20.25 for a salad (half of which was just green leaves) and a pot of tea. Now I'm originally from Shropshire, so London prices can sometimes still catch me by surprise - but I really don't think it was me that was the problem. This felt like a rip off.
And this was without a tip, no cake or delivery charges, and I was in the tea house under half an hour. I was not impressed, especially given that I barely touched the food.
So if you are looking for a good cup of tea, by all means visit the Tea House Theatre - it's a great option. But maybe don't stop for supper.

EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) — The state of Texas has filed a lawsuit to stop the rescission of Title 42, a federal mandate that has allowed border agents to expel newly arrived migrants to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
The Biden administration says the order is ending on May 23.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas. According to a news release issued on Friday, Paxton said this was his 10th “border crisis lawsuit.”
It says he “is challenging Biden’s unilateral rescission of Title 42, the highly effective Trump-era program that empowers federal authorities to rapidly expel aliens at the Texas-Mexico border.”
Only April 1, President Joe Biden announced his plan to rescind Title 42 on May 23. Paxton’s lawsuit seeks an emergency motion to freeze the president’s termination order.
“The Biden Administration has made one disastrous border decision after another, and I’ve sued him at every turn,” Paxton said. “But his new plan to rescind Title 42 is the most consequential yet. Without Title 42, hundreds of thousands more illegal aliens will flood Texas every month—even more than have been pouring over in the past year.”
According to the lawsuit, the Biden administration failed to “notify interested parties of their proposed actions and address comments from those interested parties before promulgating rules.”
The lawsuit also argues that the Biden administration still has in place several coronavirus-related orders requiring either proof of vaccination, negative test or mask, and therefore cannot rescind a policy meant to prevent the introduction of COVID-19 into the United States.
When Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced plans to terminate Title 42, he said, “Title 42 is not an immigration authority, but rather a public health authority used by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to protect against the spread of communicable disease. Title 42 remains in place until May 23 and, until then, DHS will continue to expel single adults and families encountered at the Southwest border.”
Paxton argues that rescinding Title 42 will “open the floodgates to hundreds of thousands more illegal aliens.”
But Mayorkas, in his April 1 statement, said, “We have put in place a comprehensive, whole-of-government strategy to manage any potential increase in the number of migrants encountered at our border. We are increasing our capacity to process new arrivals, evaluate asylum requests, and quickly remove those who do not qualify for protection. We will increase personnel and resources as needed and have already redeployed more than 600 law enforcement officers to the border. We are referring smugglers and certain border crossers for criminal prosecution. Over the next two months, we are putting in place additional, appropriate COVID-19 protocols, including ramping up our vaccination program.” | https://www.kget.com/border-report-tour/texas-files-10th-border-crisis-lawsuit-against-biden-administration/ | 2022-04-23T06:06:41Z | https://www.kget.com/border-report-tour/texas-files-10th-border-crisis-lawsuit-against-biden-administration/ | false | 24 |
