Arsenal have been dealt a huge blow in their pursuit of Tammy Abraham, with AS Roma reportedly putting an €80million price tag on the English striker.
Abraham was deemed surplus to requirements at boyhood club Chelsea last summer, and courted interest from a number of clubs home and abroad including Arsenal, but ultimately opted to sign for Jose Mourinho’s side.
The £36million transfer has so far been a great success, with the England international netting 24 goals in all competitions so far this campaign.
This form has seen the Gunners rekindle their interest in the 24-year-old with signing a striker now the top priority for Mikel Arteta in the summer.
However, football.london reports that Roma want £67.5million for Abraham, a price that matches the buy-back clause Chelsea inserted in the striker’s contract when they sold him.
This is likely to deter any potential bidders including Arsenal, who will now likely focus on a move for Gabriel Jesus, after it was reported that the forward was open to leaving Manchester City at the end of the season.
The Gunners’ technical director Edu has been in talks with the Brazilian’s agents over the past few months, with Arsenal very keen on new forwards following the departure of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and the uncertainty around the futures of Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah.
Jesus, whose City contract expires next season, could be available for £35million, and would be a welcome addition at the Emirates having already scored 93 goals for the Citizens since 2017.
Once tipped as the heir to Sergio Aguero, Jesus has never quite looked able to match those lofty expectations, and the 25-year-old is said to be ready to move on because of the anticipated arrival of striker sensation Erling Haaland to the Etihad from Borussia Dortmund in the summer.

Harris positive for COVID-19, Biden not ‘close contact’
By ZEKE MILLER
WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday, the White House announced, underscoring the persistence of the highly contagious virus even as the U.S. eases restrictions in a bid to return to pre-pandemic normalcy.
Harris press secretary Kirsten Allen said neither President Joe Biden nor first lady Jill Biden was considered a “close contact” of Harris in recent days. Because of their travel schedules, the last time Harris saw Biden was Monday, April 18.
The vice president recently returned from a weeklong trip to the West coast.
Harris tested positive on both rapid and PCR tests but “has exhibited no symptoms,” the White House said. She will isolate at her residence but continue to work remotely, and will return to the White House only when she tests negative for the virus.
Harris, 57, received her first dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine weeks before taking office and a second dose just days after Inauguration Day in 2021. She received a booster shot in late October and an additional booster on April 1. Fully vaccinated and boosted people have a high degree of protection against serious illness and death from COVID-19, particularly from the most common and highly transmissible omicron variant.
Harris’ diagnosis comes a month after her husband, Doug Emhoff, recovered from the virus, as a wave of cases of the highly transmissible omicron subvariant has spread through Washington’s political class, infecting Cabinet members, White House staffers and lawmakers including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Allen said Harris would follow Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines “and the advice of her physicians.” It was not immediately clear whether she is being prescribed any antiviral treatments.
After more than two years and nearly a million deaths in the U.S., the virus is still killing more than 300 people a day in the U.S., according to the CDC. The unvaccinated are at a far greater risk, more than three times as likely to test positive and 20 times as likely to die from the virus than those who have received at least a primary dose of the vaccines, according to the public health agency.

CBSE 10th English Exam Tomorrow, How to Write Paper to Get Full Marks
CBSE 10th English Exam Tomorrow, How to Write Paper to Get Full Marks
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has begun the term 2 board exams from today, April 26. Unlike the first term which had multiple-choice questions, the second term had a subjective type question-answer format. Tomorrow, one of the important papers will be held — the class 10 English paper.
As per experts, students must aim to attempt the paper neatly. They must leave a line or two after each question. Utilize the reading time well and read the questions carefully, says Shweta Tomar, TGT English, Amity International School, Sector 6, Vasundhra, Ghaziabad. A total of 21,16,209 students will be appearing for the CBSE class 10 English paper tomorrow.
She went on to add that students must not leave any question unattempted. They must also adhere to the word limit given for each question. “Underline the keywords. Attempt all questions of one section together. Divide the long answers into shorter paras,” she adds.
Students must avoid careless spelling and grammatical errors at all costs, especially when it comes to English exam. Write the formats and headings carefully, wherever required. After done with the writing part, thoroughly revise what you have written, says Tomar.
Further, students must always write the answers in clear handwriting. Remember, the font should not be too small or too big. Besides, do not write anything without meaning just to fill the page. Don’t write too slowly for the sake of handwriting. Keep the writing speed correct from the beginning and maintain it. If you write slowly in the beginning of the exam to maintain good handwriting, then you will never be able to finish the paper on time.
The board has set up 7406 exam centres for class 10. This time, to avoid any malpractices during the exam, CBSE will use advanced data analytics to detect and prevent any irregularities in academic testing. This will further help identify exam centres where irregularities are found and the board will take appropriate measures thereafter. This comes after several irregularities were reported in the term 1.

Rep. John Thompson says he responded as concerned dad to traffic stop, did not bully officers
Rep. John Thompson responded Tuesday to the St. Paul police chief’s allegations about his actions during a traffic stop, saying he “certainly would not attempt to misuse, intimidate or bully police officers with my official position.”
An officer pulled over Thompson’s 26-year-old daughter in St. Paul on Sunday afternoon, after which police say Thompson arrived at the scene.
“I responded as any concerned father would, arriving at a chaotic scene to help deal with my frightened daughter, who was having a verifiable mental health episode, which was triggered by the large presence of the SPPD,” Thompson wrote. “Additionally the law enforcement officers on scene treated me with the utmost respect and I want (to) highlight the exemplary job the officers did deescalating the situation. Thank you.”
Thompson said he has faith that the way officers handled him and his daughter “creates the standard of treatment going forward, when dealing” with “mental health issues.”
SUSPENDED LICENSE
Thompson’s daughter’s driver’s license was suspended and the vehicle she was driving, which was registered to Thompson, had tabs that had been expired for two years, according to police.
St. Paul Police Chief Todd Axtell wrote in a Monday Facebook post: “While the officer was attempting to get the driver … to cooperate and other officers backed her up, the driver’s father pulled up in another vehicle, jumped out and immediately began interfering by yelling and questioning the traffic stop and identifying himself as State Representative John Thompson.”
Thompson handed out his official business cards, according to the police department.
Axtell continued in his post: “It’s an absolute shame — that an elected official would attempt to intimidate and bully police officers, that he would misuse his official position, that officers doing their jobs should have to endure illegitimate claims of racism, that John Thompson is still serving in the Legislature.”
POLICE RELEASED DAUGHTER TO THOMPSON
The situation began Sunday about 4:30 p.m. when an officer pulled over the driver of a van after seeing it swerve out of its lane on Interstate 35E, said Steve Linders, a St. Paul police spokesman.
The driver stopped in the area of Westminster and Cayuga streets, and wouldn’t roll her window down to talk to the officer, Linders said. The officer reported smelling marijuana coming from the vehicle.
“At this point, not knowing what was going on with the driver, the officer requested other squads to the scene,” Linders said. “This is standard procedure and done for the safety of everyone involved in the call.”
Officers told the woman to exit the van for field sobriety tests, but she would not, according to police. They told her she would be charged with refusing a field sobriety test if she didn’t.
“Officers at the scene made the decision to allow the van’s driver to go home with her father, deciding to charge her out of custody,” the police statement said. “At this point, the driver got out of the van and went with Thompson.”
CASE UNDER REVIEW
The case is under review by the city attorney’s office for potential charges against the woman.
Thompson serves as an independent representing St. Paul’s East Side.

Denzel Washington pauses to inspire Heat during Hawks series, ‘Keep raising the standard’
It turns out, the Miami Heat’s blowout victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday night might not have been the highlight of their weekend trip to Atlanta.
Instead, it well could have been a poignant and powerful moment with two-time Academy Award winner Denzel Washington at their team hotel ahead of that Sunday romp.
There, gathered in a semicircle around the 67-year-old actor, director and producer, the Heat found themselves in rapt absorption as Washington offered impromptu words of inspiration.
“Keep raising the standard about how you carry yourself, as you all do,” he said to his engrossed audience of players and team staffers. “Keep teaching, keep leading, keep following. You know, learn from the best. That’s what I’ve done. Try to, and pass it on.
“Last thing I’ll say, which I’ve said a lot of times, you’ll never see a U-Haul behind a hearse. I’ll say it again, you’ll never a U-Haul behind a hearse. The Egyptians tried it. All they got was robbed.”
With several offering “amen” to that comment. Washington continued.
“Even money aside, you can’t take it with you,” he told them. “But you can, you can leave it with us — influence, your power, your wisdom, your ability to touch people.
“Because everybody’s watching you all. Everybody got a favorite guy.”
The Mount Vernon, N.Y., native then shared a moment about his own sports passion.
“I spoke to the Dodgers the other day. I even went in with a Yankees hat on. I don’t care,” he said. “Elston Howard was a black player in the 60s and I wanted to be him. I tried to walk like him, you know. You know, and stuff. You know, what you all did. I tried to walk like him and stuff. I ended up playing catcher.
“So you know that they’re watching you, and they’re following you. And especially for young boys, listen to your elders and lead quietly.”
He paused, then added, “and win.”
And then, as he shook hands with those gathered and asked where they stood in the series against Atlanta, he referenced the unique look of Hawks All-Star guard Trae Young.
“And tell that little boy to get a haircut,” he said with a smile amid laughter. “What kind of haircut he working with?”

The Indian economy was slowing even before the pandemic disrupted activity across the board. Although it is now recovering from the pandemic-induced disruption, employment and income have been severely affected over the past two years.
The fact that India’s fiscal intervention during the pandemic was also limited compared to some of the other large economies, the disruption is likely to have affected consumption significantly. The distribution of free foodgrain, however, was a vital intervention that helped a large number of households. The state of household consumption would be ...

Former Celtic manager Martin O'Neill has backed Neil Lennon after he said former team-mates had "stabbed me in the front".
Lennon left Parkhead in February last year and now manages Omonia in Cyprus.
But last week he revealed there are some former Hoops pals whom he shared a pitch with that he no longer talks to after criticism of his second managerial stint in Glasgow's east end.
O'Neill managed Lennon as he was part of the squad that made the 2003 UEFA Cup Final in Seville and he insists he's right behind the Irishman – after telling some of his old charges to be careful when they embark on their punditry careers.
He told PLZ : "I mentioned to a couple of the players about that.
"I know everybody has to make a living in this life after football or if you happen to still be involved in the punditry aspect or whatever the case may be.
"But that can be very hurtful indeed, particularly people you know you've sat in the dressing room, cajoled and encouraged.
"You've been encouraged by these people as well and don't get me wrong, Neil Lennon was a big leader, he might not have been captain too often in my time at Leicester or Celtic, but he was essentially captain in everything but the word.
"He was a big leader in the team so that's really disappointing." | https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/martin-oneill-defends-celtic-pal-26805670 | 2022-04-26T17:49:21Z | https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/martin-oneill-defends-celtic-pal-26805670 | false | 1 |
Roadway deaths are also on the rise nationwide. Officials reported an estimated 20,160 people died from vehicular crashes in the first half of 2021, 18.4% higher than in 2020. Texas saw an increase of almost 15% from 2020-21. TxDOT elaborated on the shared responsibility among Texas drivers, roadway engineers and law enforcement to reduce the number of deaths on Texas roads.
The video above is ABC13's 24/7 livestream.
"Driver behavior is one of the causes but also one of the most important solutions," Transportation Commissioner Laura Ryan said in a news release. "This is not blame. These are facts. We all have a role. TxDOT can do more, and we accept that responsibility. The driving public can do more. For instance, in 2021, a total of 1,522 people were killed because of speed, and a total of 1,219 were killed because they were not wearing a seat belt. These were decisions made by people that could have potentially saved 2,741 lives."
Art Markman, a psychology professor at The University of Texas, informed TxDOT leaders and transportation stakeholders at the annual Texas Transportation Forum in February about coronavirus-related pressures that have had a negative impact on Texas roadways.
"We have to remind people that they are part of a community," Markman said. "We have to start considering everyone as part of our community. If we don't do that, there are going to be all sorts of negative consequences, and those are going to include negative consequences on the road."
RELATED: Houston stretch of highway named deadliest in the U.S. by new report
The release provided information on initiatives TxDOT is researching and studying before implementing to aid in roadway safety. Some of the initiatives include traffic safety campaigns and law enforcement funding grants as well as proven life-saving roadway designs. TxDOT is also reviewing crash data to identify areas where drivers are more likely to crash and will use its findings to focus improvement initiatives on those areas and share the data with the driving population.
Officials within the agency believe the implementation of the above initiatives and focusing on engineering and enforcement will greatly reduce the number of deaths on Texas roads.
"But make no mistake: This is an urgent call to action for all of us behind the wheel," Ryan said. "We can do better. We should do better. We must do better-for ourselves, our loved ones and our larger community of Texans. Not a single death on our roadways is acceptable. Let's end this streak."

As if four Street Fighter characters in Fortnite wasn't enough, Sakura and Blanka are now making their way over to the battle royale, complete with some surprisingly suave alternative costumes.
They'll both be landing in the Fortnite item shop on April 28, with each bundle containing a built-in outfit emote, back bling, pickaxe and an alternative costume. Along with her default Street Fighter garb, Sakura gets kitted out with a gym look inspired by the same alternative outfit from Street Fighter 4. Blanka can either don his traditional ripped cargos or instead go full-on drip in a stylish business suit with his hair tied back. Did Fortnite actually make Blanka hot? Maybe.
Blanka gets a nice healthy fruit kebab pickaxe as his weapon, along with a cute if not slightly terrifying Blanka-chan back bling. Sakura gets some neat crane machine back bling, a stone fist Fighting Tournament pickaxe and a ceramic incense-inspired kayari buta glider.
Competitors, it’s time to FIGHT 🥊Taking a break from the crane game, @StreetFighter's World Warriors Blanka and Sakura are coming to fight.Read about their two Tournaments that are happening, including a mobile-only Tournament!Details: https://t.co/uUi1f2t2HsApril 26, 2022
Along with their arrival in the item shop, there'll be a Blanka and Sakura cup landing on the same day. It's a duos event, and lets players dive into ten matches within their region's respective three-hour time window. Points will be awarded based on eliminations and overall position at the end of the match, with top players netting a loading screen for their troubles. Blanka is punching the shit out of Peely's car, for some reason. Can bananas even drive?
That's Sakura, Blanka, Ryu, Chun-Li, Cammy and Guile now forever preserved inside Epic's weird, cartoonish melting pot of pop culture. There's been a lot happening in Fortnite recently—Chapter 3 Season 2 saw Epic temporarily confiscate everyone's building tools with a no-build mode, while its launch helped raise $144 million for relief in Ukraine. | https://www.pcgamer.com/fortnite-is-adding-even-more-street-fighter-characters-with-sakura-and-blanka/ | 2022-04-26T17:49:46Z | https://www.pcgamer.com/fortnite-is-adding-even-more-street-fighter-characters-with-sakura-and-blanka/ | false | 3 |

BJP Protests Against West Bengal State Gov’t, Alleges Corruption in Teacher Recruitment – Video
The West Bengal state government has been accused of corruption in the recruitment of teachers in schools through the State Level Selection Test. While hearing petitions earlier this month, the Calcutta High Court ordered the Central Bureau of Investigation to look into the matter.
The Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM), the youth wing of federally governing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), on Tuesday held a massive protest on the streets of Kolkata city in India’s West Bengal against the alleged recruitment scam under the
Mamata Banerjee-led state government.
The protest was led by BJP Yuva Morcha National President Tejasvi Surya and state party chief Sukanta Majumdar.
In order to disperse the protesters heading towards Bikash Bhavan in Kolkata, police used water cannons. The BJP also claimed that police resorted to baton charges and that male officers even attacked female workers.
BJYM National President Surya condemned the police action and slammed the state government on the microblogging site Twitter.
He even accused the police of “acting like goons of ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC)”.
Sharing another video, he said that “every drop of water will haunt state chief Mamata Banerjee for the rest of her tenure”.
In another tweet, he said that “this is how democracy is dying in West Bengal”.
While talking to the media, Surya said: “We came to Bikash Bhavan peacefully and organised a protest. It is our constitutional right. We were being stripped of our right”.
"Land of Vivekananda and Rabindranath Tagore, land that had guided the country in education in the context of freedom movement is now sinking as far as education system is concerned. Yuva Morcha is protesting against the politicisation and corruption in our education system", he added.
Chief of the BJP's West Bengal branch Sukanta Majumdar claimed that
Mamata Banerjee has killed democracy in the state.
"We told the police to arrest or detain us but not resort to baton-charge. But they did. Male cops attacked our women workers. As per my information, four workers need hospitalisation, one has already been hospitalised", he added.

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — Maine is closer to launching its space program after Gov. Janet Mills signed a bill to create the Maine Space Port Corp., a law aimed at growing the state’s aerospace industry.
Mills signed the bill into law on April 19, creating a public-private partnership that would build launch sites, data networks and operations to send satellites into space, The Portland Press Herald reported Sunday.
Most of the work accomplished at the program will be through the creation of the Maine Space Complex which will be built at the former Brunswick Naval Air Station within the next decade. The complex will oversee three entities including a computer center and satellite launch and operations sites.
Terry Shehata, director of the Maine Space Grant Consortium, said the spaceport would be one of the first in the U.S. to launch satellites, conduct data analysis and provide education to students. The consortium is the NASA-funded nonprofit spearheading the spaceport complex.
A study by the University of Southern Maine estimated that the space industry will bring thousands of jobs to Mainers while annually contributing about a billion dollars to the state’s economy.
The complex's initial construction costs are between an estimated $50 million and $250 million. Shehata said that it will be funded through different investments from NASA federal economic recovery grants and the Maine Technology Institute. | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/Maine-is-one-step-closer-to-establishing-17127745.php | 2022-04-26T17:57:08Z | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/Maine-is-one-step-closer-to-establishing-17127745.php | true | 23 |

Its current owner of 13 years is downsizing, with regret. He has loved this character home - the cosy ground floor of the windmill which is a “lovely place to settle by the log burner on a winter’s evening with a glass of Rioja”, its considerable garden in which he has grown all his own vegetables, its proximity to great countryside, and to independent shops and restaurants in neighbouring towns.
“Prospective owners must realise this is a place for a gardening enthusiast”, he said. “The soil here is excellent - you can grow anything.” But there’s plenty of lawned and landscaped garden too, ideal for children or pets. Fruit trees include Bramley apple and plum.
The 1787 windmill only worked for six months, being forced to close due to its proximity to a Government owned Crown Mill. It soon became a residence, and has been added to over years.
An open porch has a snug (or bedroom) off, with an original mill wall. Within the windmill is a main sitting room with cast iron wood burning stove, and a curved staircase. Through bespoke glazing are stunning garden views.
An open plan modern kitchen links to a large dining room and has a butler’s pantry, then a separate utility with cloak room. A garden room looks across a garden ‘island’ with cherry tree.
Two spacious bedrooms, both with en suites and wardrobes are on the first floor. One also has a dressing area.
A tower studio could be a home office, an artist’s den, or a bedroom. There’s a double garage, a shed and an original earth closet, currently utilised as a log store.

We know these guys, these Minnesota Twins. We will see an awful lot of them this season. But that doesn’t mean we necessarily recognize the team taking the field. There have been plenty of changes to the Twins roster over this red-hot offseason, so we thought what better time than now to ask for a little expert insight into what’s going well for the current AL Central division leaders.
With that goal in mind, we went to our sister site Twinkie Town and chatted with managing editor Benjamin Jones to talk about Byron Buxton, Akil Baddoo, and that major scheduling change that’s coming in 2023.
BYB: The Twins are currently sitting on top of the AL Central, which I think we can both agree is probably a bit unexpected. What do you think has led to their initial hot start this season?
TT: I’m going to try my very best to not only talk about Byron Buxton in these questions, but Buck is quite literally the whole team. As he goes, so do the Twins. If you want statistical evidence of that, just take a look at this Passan Tweet. That trend has continued this year, as the Twins are 6-4 with Buxton and 2-4 without him. Your team’s success riding on a player as injury prone as Buck is nerve-wracking, to say the least, but he’s our guy and we love him.
While others may find it unexpected for the Twins to be on top of the Central, I don’t think any Twins fans do. With the Buxton extension, Correa signing, and their pitching additions, it was clear they were gunning for the playoffs. How well those moves play out is still to be determined, but Twins fans expect this team to be in the playoffs and likely compete for the division crown.
BYB: Which players have been performing better than expected, and conversely, which have been doing worse than you might have hoped?
TT: Have you heard of a young man by the name of Byron Buxton? Buxton leads the AL and is third in MLB with 1.3 fWAR (in just 10 games!!), he’s tied for the league lead in home runs, he has a .351/.415/.946 slash line, good for a 1.361 OPS. In case you missed that in the jumble of numbers, HE’S SLUGGING .946!!! Also, he’s the best defensive center fielder in baseball. I don’t know if this can be considered better than expected; he’s been one of the best players in the world when he’s played over the last few years, but this is beyond my wildest dreams.
Also better than expected: the Twins’ starting pitching. Twins starters are currently second in the AL with a 2.64 ERA, which has been a major victory for a staff comprised of a rookie (Joe Ryan), a former 12th round pick in his second year (Bailey Ober), three reclamation projects (Dylan Bundy, Chris Archer, Chris Paddack), and the steady but currently injured Sonny Gray.
As for the under-performers, pretty much every hitter in the lineup outside of Buxton and Luis Arraez has been awful. Carlos Correa, Jorge Polanco, Miguel Sano, Ryan Jeffers, Trevor Larnach, Gary Sanchez, and Nick Gordon all have more than 30 PAs and a below-average OPS. I’ll give a particular terrible shout-out to Miguel Sano, who has played in 15 games and is hitting .083 with a .370 OPS. He’s normally a slow starter, but this is another level of bad. Nowhere to go but up, I suppose!
BYB: The Twins made quite a few big moves before the season got started, some seemed to be building a contender while others were kind of head-scratchers. With almost a month of play into the season, how are those moves feeling in retrospect?
TT: I feel pretty good, overall. If you look at the moves in total, the Twins essentially gave up Mitch Garver, Taylor Rogers, Josh Donaldson, Ben Rortvedt, and prospect Chase Petty in exchange for Gary Sanchez, Gio Urshela, Sonny Gray, Chris Paddack, Emilio Pagan, some mid-level prospects, and used the money freed up from the Donaldson trade to sign Carlos Correa. I would make those moves every single time.
The one that hasn’t looked great is Rogers for Paddack and Pagan. Rogers is an elite closer, but was under his last year of team control. So swapping him for three years of Paddack is an easy decision. However, the Twins have had a couple of late-game collapses already, and may need a bullpen overhaul (a la the 2021 Atlanta Braves) if they’re going to truly contend this year. The exception is Jhoan Duran, who is perfect.
BYB: Has that Byron Buxton home run from Sunday landed yet?
TT: It did, but it actually landed directly in Joe Mauer’s bedroom a few miles away.
I screamed at the crack of the bat. He is a god walking (or in this case, hitting) among men. I watch the replay to help myself fall asleep at night. If you can’t tell, I am at a literal loss for words from that moment.
BYB: Which under-the-radar player should the Tigers be a bit worried about this series?
TT: Is Luis Arraez still under-the-radar? I’m going to say no and call my shot elsewhere. I think Trevor Larnach has a big series. He’s been hitting the ball hard since his call-up a few weeks ago, but has run into some bad luck with the wind blowing some balls back in the park and hitting line drives right at defenders. He’s been taking good at-bats and is due for a breakout.
Be on the lookout for the previously mentioned Jhoan Duran out of the bullpen as well. His fastball can hit 102 and his “splinker” (an interesting splitter-sinker combo) has some of the best movement in the majors. Duran has closer stuff and should be pitching in the ninth before long, but for now, the Twins are deploying him as a multi-inning fireman. He’s a joy to watch every time he takes the mound.
BYB: Which Tigers player are the Twins most worried about this series?
TT: The Twins themselves are probably most worried about Javy Baez, Austin Meadows, and even Miguel Cabrera, who are each off to good starts. But Twins fans are terrified of Akil Baddoo.
Ever since the Twins let David Ortiz go, fans have been terrified of the “next Ortiz” who plays great against them and leads their new team to the promised land. Well, that’s basically what Baddoo looked like against Minnesota last year. In 17 games, Baddoo hit .313/.353/.594 while driving in 15 runs. He didn’t have more than 6 against any other opponent! Was it justified to leave Baddoo off the 40-man roster and lose him in the Rule 5 draft? Absolutely. Will he haunt my dreams anyway? Without a doubt.
BYB: Are you excited for the 2023 schedule change that will see fewer inter-division games, or will you sort of miss seeing the same teams 19 times a season?
TT: I may be in the minority, but personally, I am not a fan of the schedule changes. Rivalries make sports more fun and interesting, and you’re losing opportunities to play teams you hate (or maybe just really want to beat). The Dodgers were in Minneapolis earlier this season and everything about it felt wrong. I found myself wishing we were playing one of our AL Central rivals instead. I don’t hate Trea Turner. I have no ill will towards Max Muncy. I want to be terrified of Akil Baddoo hitting a walk-off infield single. I want to pretend to be mad when Javy Baez flips his bat out of Comerica Park, and then be happy when Byron Buxton does the same thing. There’s enough people taking fun and passion out of the game, we don’t need the schedule to do the same.

Which neutral throw pillow is best?
The easiest upgrade to make in any room is to spruce it up with a great set of throw pillows. When you want the furniture to be the standout, the best choice is neutral throw pillows that match anything and add a subtle design element. Whether you place one on a lounge chair or use a pair to dress up your bed, neutral throw pillows add visual interest and pull together any room.
For a neutral throw pillow that can match any room, try the Lush Decor Adelyn Decorative Pillow.
What to know before you buy a neutral throw pillow
How much use the pillows will get
Are you buying throw pillows intended to dress up your formal couch, or do you need a pillow that can take some use? True decorative pillows can be made of fabric that’s visually appealing but not necessarily comfortable to the touch, such as wool. However, a pillow intended for comfort should be covered in a material that’s pleasant to the touch and easy to wash, such as microfiber or cotton.
Your home’s style
Are you going for a cozy, Hygge look or a classic, upscale style? Whatever your vibe, be sure that the throw pillows you buy match it or bring it out more than your existing furniture and decor. Pillows can underscore your design aesthetic. Choose satins and classic motifs (like fleur-de-lis or the on-trend look of embroidered bees) for a more formal look. Lean into shabby chic with ruffles and fabrics that look like they’ve stood the test of time. Add femininity to a room with florals and warmer colors, or go for a more modern look with crisp lines in monochromatic tones.
Washability
How much use a pillow will get also goes hand in hand with how much you need to wash it. Fancy, Mongolian-fur pillows should only be spot cleaned when absolutely necessary, so you’ll want to place those only in spots where they can be purely decorative. You should also keep them out of the reach of pets and children. Microfiber pillows, on the other hand, can go into the wash weekly. Consider your lifestyle when deciding on your neutral throw pillow.
What to look for in a quality neutral throw pillow
Texture
Neutral can range from lighter, creamy colors to darker, bolder tans and grays. But just because the colors of neutral pillows are subdued, that doesn’t mean that they can’t add visual interest. Consider a chunky, textured fabric, such as wool or chenille. Neutral colors also lend themselves to interesting, tone-on-tone patterns and natural materials like sheepskin or shearling.
Size
Throw pillows come in several standard sizes. The most popular square pillows are 16 by 16 inches, 18 by 18 inches and 20 by 20 inches. Larger pillows look best on big couches and wider beds. Smaller varieties work great for tighter spaces or at the front of a cluster of larger ones. You may also want to look into pillows of other shapes. Small rectangular pillows and round pillows also look good in front of larger, square ones.
Match the pillows with other upgrades
Pillows are a great start, but you can extend the use of neutrals in your room by also introducing an area rug or curtains in complementary colors. A great throw blanket can also add visual appeal.
How much you can expect to spend on a neutral throw pillow
Neutral throw pillows commonly cost between $25-$60. If you’ve already got inserts, lower your cost by only buying pillow covers of the correct size.
Neutral throw pillow FAQ
How do I keep my neutral pillows from looking too boring?
A. There are many ways to make a space look attractive, and color is just one of them. Just because your pillows are neutral, that doesn’t mean they have to look boring. Experiment with texture, size and shape to bring variety while creating a visually cohesive look.
How often should I replace my throw pillows?
A. You’ve likely heard the rule that your bedroom pillows should be replaced every three to six months. That’s because they get nightly wear, and even with the regular washing of pillowcases, bedroom pillows collect dust and skin cells. However, this rule doesn’t apply to decorative pillows because they’re not subject to the same level of wear as bed pillows. If you do use your throw pillows to lean on, be sure to remove their covers and wash them as frequently as you’d wash bedroom pillowcases (about once a week). You can safely replace those inserts once a year or so. Purely decorative pillows can be used safely for several years or until they lose their shape.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota House has passed a bill to replenish the state's unemployment insurance trust fund and get bonuses to frontline workers, in a potential breakthrough after months of stalemate.
The bill passed late Monday includes $2.7 billion to replenish the unemployment insurance trust fund and pay back the federal government for jobless aid, and Democrats’ $1 billion proposal for $1,500 checks for workers who took risks during the pandemic. It would also make hourly school workers eligible for unemployment benefits during the summer months.
House Democratic and Senate Republican leaders, along with Democratic Gov. Tim Walz, spent months trying to agree terms but leaders failed to reach a deal by a March 15 deadline, triggering an automatic payroll tax hike on Minnesota employers.
Under the new legislation, employers who paid their tax bills before the April 30 due date would get a refund. House Democrats also included the full $2.7 billion that Senate Republicans and Walz said was needed to refill the trust fund, instead of the $1.2 billion that House Democrats have long insisted would be sufficient.
It passed on a 70-63 vote.
The bill now goes to the Senate, which passed its own bill in February on a bipartisan 55-11 vote. That version did not include bonuses or unemployment benefits for school workers. Both sides voted last year to earmark $250 million in “hero pay” for frontline workers but couldn’t agree on how to parcel it out.
“Our highest priority is ensuring that workers who were on the front lines during COVID-19 receive the bonus pay they deserve,” Democratic House Speaker Melissa Hortman, of Brooklyn Park, said in a statement. “Governing in a divided Legislature requires give and take from both sides, and it is time for the Senate GOP to join us in our efforts to resolve these issues.”
Walz asked lawmakers to reach a compromise during his State of the State address Sunday night, saying the issues should have been resolved in January.
Republican lawmakers argued the unemployment insurance fix should have been passed on its own, citing the April 30 deadline for businesses to pay the quarterly tax bills affected by the hike. Given the differences between the two bills, a House-Senate conference committee was appointed to reconcile them.

Kamala Harris tests positive for Covid-19 but Biden not ‘close contact’
Vice president Kamala Harris has tested positive for Covid-19, underscoring the persistence of the highly contagious virus even as the US eases restrictions in a bid to revert to pre-pandemic normality.
Ms Harris’s press secretary Kirsten Allen said neither President Joe Biden nor first lady Jill Biden was considered a “close contact” of the vice president in recent days.
Because of their travel schedules, the last time Ms Harris saw Mr Biden was on Monday April 18.
The vice president recently returned from a week-long trip to the west coast.
Ms Harris tested positive on both rapid and PCR tests but “has exhibited no symptoms”, the White House said.
She will isolate at her residence but continue to work remotely, and will return to the White House only when she tests negative for the virus.
Ms Harris, 57, received her first dose of the Moderna Covid-19 vaccine weeks before taking office and a second dose just days after Inauguration Day in 2021.
She received a booster shot in late October and an additional booster on April 1.
Fully vaccinated and boosted people have a high degree of protection against serious illness and death from Covid-19, particularly from the most common and highly transmissible Omicron variant.
Ms Harris’s diagnosis comes a month after her husband, Doug Emhoff, recovered from the virus, as a wave of cases of the highly transmissible Omicron subvariant has spread through Washington’s political class, infecting cabinet members, White House staff and legislators including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Ms Allen said Ms Harris would follow Centres for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines “and the advice of her physicians”.
It was not immediately clear whether she is being prescribed any antiviral treatments.
After more than two years and nearly a million deaths in the US, the virus is still killing more than 300 people a day in the US, according to the CDC.
The unvaccinated are at a far greater risk, more than three times as likely to test positive and 20 times as likely to die from the virus than those who have received at least a primary dose of the vaccines, according to the public health agency.

What happened
Shares of MagnaChip Semiconductor (NYSE: MX) were skyrocketing this morning on a report that LX Group is looking to acquire the company, according to the Korea Economic Daily website.
The tech stock was up by 17.6% as of 11:17 a.m. ET on Tuesday.
So what
According to the news report, LX Group, a South Korean company, will make a formal bid to acquire MagnaChip as early as next week, though the details of the potential deal haven't been disclosed.
LX Group wants to buy the company in order to create synergies between its semiconductor company, LX Semicon, and MagnaChip. The latter company is a leader in display driver integrated circuits (DDIC), with 30% market share.
MagnaChip has been looking for a buyer ever since a deal with a private Chinese equity firm fell through back in December. Rising tensions between the U.S. and China might have led to the deal being blocked, as U.S. officials were concerned about national security issues, according to the Korea Economic Daily.
Now what
Nothing official about the potential deal has been disclosed by LX Group or MagnaChip Semiconductor, so investors might want to temper some of their expectations. If a deal is disclosed soon, it will also have to be approved before anything is finalized.
But it's clear that investors are hoping such a deal does happen, and with the company's share price down 31% over the past 12 months -- even with today's massive price jump -- it's not surprising that investors are looking for some good news.

DraftKings Sportsbook
Boston Bruins Moneyline +115
The Bruins got Hampus Lindholm and David Pastrnak back recently (who both rested on Sunday) and now face a Panthers team who is coming off an 8-4 loss to Tampa Bay. Florida hasn’t been quite as dominant on the road this season and the Bruins have now beaten two quality Eastern rivals in their last two home starts. With their team back at full strength, they have the offensive firepower to keep up with the Panthers’ attack and depth on offense to slow it enough to pick up a win here. This is a bigger game for them than the Panthers, who are just hoping no one gets hurt until the playoffs start.
Flames/Predators under 6.0 goals +100
These teams have already played a couple of close 3-2 games this season and should feature two of the league’s most elite goaltenders in net. Juuse Saros has a .927 save% at home this season while Jacob Markstrom has been even better on the road with a .928 save%. With Nashville searching for an official playoff berth, look for a closely fought game and the goalies to dominate.

Top Stack
Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Columbus Blue Jackets
Steven Stamkos ($6,900) — Nikita Kucherov ($7,300) — Ondrej Palat ($2,900)
There are a couple of different narratives we can focus on today but the main one we want to target in this game is the 100-point narrative with Steven Stamkos. The veteran forward has never cracked the mark in an already illustrious career but sits just three points off the mark today. The Lightning have three games left but likely may think about resting their leader if their spot is locked up with one game left. Stamkos would love to hit this mark today and has been on absolute fire of late, landing 15 points alone over his last five games.
The insane push by Stamkos has come with a switch back to the center position where he’s played in the middle alongside elite winger Nikita Kucherov. The Russian has been on fire himself, producing 27.0 or more DKFP in three of his last five games. Affordability becomes much easier with this group too when we add in Ondrej Palat, who has finally come alive again with six points in his last five games. Just being attached to these two elite forwards means Palat becomes a huge value at under $3,000 and if Stamkos does attain the 100-point mark today, he’ll almost certainly be involved.
We know the Blue Jackets—they allow a ton of shots and goals (bottom five in shots and goals against) and are on the road after an upset win on Sunday. This could get ugly for them so look to take advantage by rostering the Lightning’s top line.
Superstar to target
Kirill Kaprizov, Minnesota Wild vs. Arizona Coyotes ($8,000)
Another narrative we have to watch for today is the 50-goal mark that Kaprizov is approaching. He currently sits at 45 goals and has three games left to play. Kaprizov is obviously going to need a monumental effort over those last three games to reach the mark, but if it is going to happen, there’s a good chance we see multiple of the five goals needed come today against the Coyotes. Arizona sits as +425 underdogs in this spot while the Wild have a 4.7 implied goal total. The Coyotes obviously sit bottom-five in pretty much every defensive metric on the planet and have lost 10 games in a row.
We have a weak opponent, a great player at a reasonable price, and a serious narrative to play off. The $8K salary with Kaprizov looks great to build around in hopes that we get a special kind of night from the superstar.
Value on Offense
Conor Garland, Vancouver Canucks vs. Seattle Kraken ($3,900)
The Canucks have faltered a little over their last few games but their offense has remained solid. They’ve got a 4.0 implied team total against Seattle, and have scored 25 goals over their last five home games. Conor Garland is still playing in a great top-six role for fantasy purposes as he’s been tagging alongside J.T. Miller ($7,100), who has been an absolute force the second half of the season. Garland has 11 points of his own over the last 10 games and makes for a great upside value today on his own, or as part of an affordable stacking duo with Miller.
Taylor Hall, Boston Bruins vs. Florida Panthers ($4,000)
I mentioned the spot for the Bruins today, who are back to full strength and may be getting the Panthers at an opportune time as they really have nothing to play for until the playoffs actually begin. Taylor Hall has been better of late, putting a bad slump behind him with two goals in his last four games. Anytime you can get Hall at this level of salary you should consider the former Oiler as he’s still capable of those breakout nights and attached to an elite power-play. Florida’s penalty-kill remains the weakest part of their team as well.
Goalie
Jacob Markstrom, Calgary Flames at Nashville Predators ($8,000)
As mentioned above, these two teams have played a couple of closer 3-2 games already this season. With two elite goalies in play, there’s a good chance that at least one of them ends up as one of the top scorers at goalie. Jacob Markstrom has been terrific on the road for Calgary this season—and for daily fantasy hockey purposes—posting a 15-7-1 record and averaging 17.4 DKFP in road starts.
Markstrom also enters playing well, having allowed two or fewer goals in three straight games. From a narrative perspective, the Flames would love to take some revenge on Nashville, who beat them in a close game last week, and delay their trip to the playoffs. Calgary is also simply the better team here and has been great on the road this season. Markstrom looks undervalued today at $8K flat.
Value on Defense
Mark Giordano, Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Detroit Red Wings ($4,100)
The Leafs take on the Red Wings at home today in a game that has a monstrous 7.0 over/under. The Leafs themselves have a 5.0 implied goal total, so any cheaper players who will be on the ice for decent minutes in this spot should be catching our eyes as potential value targets.
Giordano has slowly started to make his way into a more prominent role with the Leafs, having played over 22 minutes in his last outing. He blocked seven shots in that outing and is up to eight points scored with the Leafs in his last eight games as well. With some power-play exposure and growing ice-time, the $4,100 salary looks like great value if you’re planning on going cheap at defense today. He also makes for a great stacking partner with any of the Leafs forwards (given his growing ice-time), which only adds to his value.
Power Play Defensemen
Shea Theodore, Vegas Golden Knights at Dallas Stars ($5,200)
The Stars and Golden Knights meet today in a game that could decide the final playoff position out West. We may have a closer, low-scoring game on our hands here, but we should also not be shy to target the good value on the Vegas backend. Shea Theodore has been a huge part of the Golden Knights’ run down the stretch to even make this interesting, as he has 11 points in his last 10 games and has played over 23 minutes in two of his last three outings.
We should expect Theodore to see a ton of ice today as the Golden Knights have no reason to rest any of their players and the Stars’ penalty-kill is also just mediocre, operating at under 80% of the season. Theodore has averaged 3.3 shots on net over his last 10 games and has hit the DK shots on net bonus twice in his last three games as well. The upside at this price is too good to pass on.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Candidates for the Republican nomination for Pennsylvania’s open U.S. Senate seat charged into Monday night’s live-televised prime-time debate with extra incentive to attack Mehmet Oz after the celebrity heart surgeon received former President Donald Trump’s endorsement.
And attack they did, almost solidly throughout the one-hour debate at the studio of WHTM-TV with barely three weeks to go to the May 17 primary election.
Ex-hedge fund CEO David McCormick called Oz a “flip-flopper” to suggest that he is pretending to be a conservative.
Former Trump ambassador Carla Sands called him “Turkey First” — as a play on Trump’s “America First” governing philosophy — to highlight Oz’s Turkish citizenship.
And conservative activist Kathy Barnette said Trump only endorsed Oz because Oz is well-known.
Trump earlier this month endorsed Oz — best known as daytime TV’s host of “The Dr. Oz Show” — and the Trump endorsement hovered over the debate. Oz raised it repeatedly, just hours after Trump announced that he will come to western Pennsylvania next week for a rally to promote Oz.
Oz gamely defended himself. People care about what he stands for, not where he’s from, he said. Trump endorsed him because he is a true conservative, he said. And he keeps his Turkish citizenship to visit his ailing mother in Turkey, he said.
He also counterpunched, primarily against McCormick. He accused McCormick of lying about his record and repeating Trump’s suggestion that McCormick is “pro-China” because of McCormick’s former hedge fund’s portfolio that catered to Chinese investors investing in China.
“Dishonest Dave is at it again,” Oz said. “He went groveling to President Trump with — again — these types of allegations. President Trump saw right through him, did not endorse him, and then he endorsed me.”
McCormick repeatedly attacked Oz, turning practically every question to Oz’s long public past as a TV show host and accusing him of having long-advocated liberal positions.
“The reason Mehmet keeps talking about President Trump’s endorsement is because he can’t run on his own positions and his own records, and what’s true is that he has flip-flopped on every major issue we’re talking about in this campaign,” McCormick said.
Then McCormick slipped in a reference to criticism that Oz promoted quack treatments and cures on his show.
“And the problem doctor, is there’s no miracle cure for flip-flopping,” McCormick said.
The race is primarily an expensive duel between McCormick and Oz, who combined — with super PACs that support them — have reported spending more than $37 million out of the more than $50 million reported being spent on the GOP primary.
The five candidates on stage met the polling threshold set by the station’s parent company as they vie for the nomination in a seven-person field to succeed retiring two-term Republican Sen. Pat Toomey in the presidential battleground state.
The campaign is one of this year’s premier Senate contests, with carpetbaggery a prominent and persistent issue following the recent arrival of three wealthy and well-connected candidates from other states — McCormick, Oz and Sands.
Real estate investor Jeff Bartos summed up the debate in his closing remarks as “out-of-state candidates fighting with each other” as he pressed his case as the only lifelong Pennsylvanian in the race.
Otherwise, the candidates all seemed to agree with party talking points, including on the question of banning abortion, banning transgender women from competing in women’s sports, criticizing President Joe Biden’s handling of the economy and the border and promoting Trump’s baseless conspiracy that Democrats stole the 2020 presidential election.
They also took pains to demonstrate their devotion to Trump principles.
Sands maintained that her service on a Trump’s economic council and as his ambassador to Denmark makes her the only proven America First candidate.
“I actually did it,” Sands said. “Everyone talks about it.”
On a question about how to deal with supply chain issues, McCormick took umbrage over Bartos’ suggestion that out-of-state candidates “cannot help save Main Street Pennsylvania if you cannot find Main Street Pennsylvania.”
“I’m not going to be out-Pennsylvania’d or out-America First by anybody on this stage,” McCormick said.
Barnette — who has allied herself with pro-Trump conservatives — took a different tack: Trump’s Make America Great slogan, or MAGA, doesn’t belong to Trump, she said.
“MAGA does not belong to President Trump,” Barnette said. “MAGA, although he coined the word, MAGA actually belongs to the people. Our values never, never shifted to President Trump’s values. It was President Trump who shifted and aligned with our values.”

CHERNOBYL, Ukraine (AP) — Thirty-six years after the world’s worst nuclear disaster, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency said Tuesday that Russian troops risked causing an accident with their “very, very dangerous” seizure of the Chernobyl nuclear plant in Ukraine.
Wearing a blue IAEA jacket and standing under an orange umbrella during rainfall outside the damaged nuclear power plant, agency Director-General Rafael Mariano Grossi said that while the radiation levels are normal, the situation is still “not stable.” Nuclear authorities have to “keep on alert,” he said.
Russian troops moved into the radiation-contaminated Chernobyl exclusion zone in February on their way toward the Ukrainian capital. They withdrew late last month as Russia pulled its forces from areas near Kyiv and switched its focus to fighting in eastern Ukraine.
The site has been back in Ukrainian hands since then, and disrupted communications have been restored.
Ukrainian officials have said the Russian occupiers held plant workers at gunpoint during a marathon shift of more than a month, with personnel sleeping on tabletops and eating just twice a day.
Grossi congratulated the workers on mitigating potential risks during the occupation, including power disruptions.
“I don’t know if we were very close to disaster, but the situation was absolutely abnormal and very, very dangerous,” he said.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, noting the Chernobyl disaster anniversary on Twitter, said that “not everyone realized” the dangers of nuclear energy.
“Now, Russia’s actions at Ukrainian nuclear power plants threaten humanity with a new catastrophe.”
An April 26, 1986 explosion and fire at Chernobyl sent radioactive material into the atmosphere and became a symbol of the Soviet Union’s stumbling final years. The international community, including Russia, spent billions to stabilize and secure the area.
The unit where the explosion and fire took place was sheathed in a state-of-art encasement. The dangers at the plant are ongoing, however, because spent nuclear fuel rods requires round-the-clock maintenance. The fuel is from the plant’s four reactors, all now shut down.
Russian forces continue to hold a working nuclear power plant, Europe's largest, in southern Ukraine. Fighting damaged the training facility of the Zaporizhzhia plant in early March.
An Associated Press reporter who visited Chernobyl this month saw evidence that Russian soldiers dug trenches in the forested Chernobyl exclusion zone in the earliest hours of the invasion, churning up highly contaminated soil.
IAEA team members who were at the site Tuesday to make repairs and do assessments carried black suitcases from their vans into Chernobyl’s buildings. They were bringing dosimeters and other radiation monitoring equipment, Grossi said.
“There is a lot of work to be done after the occupation of this plant,” he said. “We have to do some repair work so we can restore the connectivity that we have with Vienna, so we can provide good information to the Ukrainian people, to the rest of the world.”
The International Atomic Energy Agency, which is the world's nuclear watchdog, is based in Austria's capital.
During the Russian occupation, Chernobyl lost its normal electricity supply. Plant workers relied on diesel generators to support the critical work of circulating water to cool the spent nuclear fuel.
Asked whether the dangers posed by the Russian occupation were similar to the ones following the original Chernobyl accident, Grossi replied: “On that occasion, you had an explosion, you had an operating reactor. The situation was completely different. In this case, what we had was a nuclear safety situation which was not normal, that could have developed into an accident.”
Responding to public concerns about the risks of nuclear power during wars, Grossi told reporters the problem was “not nuclear energy. The problem is the war.”

More than half of Americans have had COVID infections -antibody study
Article content
Following the record surge in COVID-19 cases during the Omicron-driven wave, some 58% of the U.S. population overall and more than 75% of younger children have been infected with the coronavirus since the start of the pandemic, according to a U.S. nationwide blood survey released on Tuesday.
The study of blood samples sent to laboratories between December and February – when Omicron cases were raging – showed children, many of whom remain unvaccinated, had the highest rates of infection during that surge, while people 65 and older – a heavily vaccinated population – had the lowest.

Scientists looked for specific antibodies produced in response to the SARS-CoV-2 virus that are only present after an infection and are not generated by COVID-19 vaccines.
In children aged 11 and younger, 75.2% were positive for infection-related antibodies from December to February, up from 44.2% in the prior three month period.
In children aged 12-17, 74.2% carried antibodies, up from 45.6% between September and December. The overall rate was 33.5% for the entire population during that earlier time period.
“Having infection-induced antibodies does not necessarily mean you are protected against future infection,” said Kristie Clarke of the U.S Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) during a media briefing to discuss the data. “We did not look at whether people had a level of antibodies that provides protection against reinfection or severe disease.”

The CDC stressed that vaccination remains the safest strategy for preventing complications from COVID-19.
Samples were collected from commercial laboratories testing blood for reasons unrelated to COVID-19, such as routine medical care. Traditional methods of disease surveillance do not capture all COVID-19 cases because some are asymptomatic, not diagnosed, or not reported, the CDC said.
The median sample size per four-week period was 73,869 collected between September and January. That fell to 45,810 in February.
Overall, U.S. COVID-19 infections have reached 80.8 million, with a 22.7% increase over the last week, and hospital admissions rose 6.6% from the prior week.
While deaths fell 13.2%, week-over-week, the United States is fast approaching the grim milestone of 1 million total COVID-related deaths.
More than 66% of the U.S. population is considered to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, according to federal data. Nearly 46% of those Americans had so far also received a booster dose.

Most people in the United States, including most children, have now been infected with the coronavirus, according to a new study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
At a briefing for reporters on Tuesday, the CDC's Dr. Kristie Clarke said so many people caught omicron over the winter that almost 60% of everyone in the U.S. now have antibodies to the virus in their blood.
That number is even higher for children — almost 75% of children 11 and younger have antibodies to the virus.
Clarke said the finding means many people have at least some immunity to the virus. But CDC officials stressed that people should still get vaccinated, because vaccination provides the strongest, broadest protection against getting seriously ill. Immunity provided by previous infection may or may not be as protective against severe disease.
The CDC also said that cases of COVID-19 continue to rise, going up 23% last week to 44,416 a day. Deaths continue a months-long decline to 314 a day, or 13% less than the week before. Hospitalizations are on the uptick at 1,629 a day, up 7% over the previous week, according to CDC Director Rochelle Walensky.
About 1.5% of the U.S. population lives in communities where there is a high prevalence of COVID at the present time, with 6.5% in medium prevalence areas and the rest (92%) in communities with low levels of COVID.

Vice President Harris has tested positive for COVID-19, the White House announced Tuesday.
Harris has exhibited no symptoms and will isolate at home.
"She has not been a close contact to the President or First Lady due to their respective recent travel schedules," the White House said. "She will follow CDC guidelines and the advice of her physicians. The Vice President will return to the White House when she tests negative."
Harris spent last week in California, and returned to Washington Monday night, so she had not met with Biden in person in recent days.
Like Biden, Harris had been cautious about the virus, masking indoors and minimizing large gatherings. The White House dropped most of those precautions this spring, and since then, has seen several cases, amid a larger uptick in Washington, D.C.
Harris' positive test does have one immediate short-term political ramification: the Senate is rescheduling at least one nomination vote set for Tuesday because she wouldn't be available to break a 50-50 tie.
Harris is the highest-profile U.S. leader to contract the coronavirus since former President Donald Trump in 2020
The diagnosis comes weeks after her husband, second gentleman Doug Emhoff, tested positive. And earlier this month, more than a dozen attendees of the annual Gridiron dinner — including Jamal Simmons, Harris' communications director — were known to have tested positive for COVID-19. At that time, Attorney General Merrick Garland also tested positive, as well as Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo and Reps. Adam Schiff and Joaquin Castro. All were guests at the dinner. Harris did not attend it.
The COVID-19 diagnosis makes Harris the highest-profile U.S. leader to contract the coronavirus since former President Donald Trump, who tested positive for COVID-19 during the final month of the 2020 presidential campaign.
Earlier this month, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who is vaccinated and boosted, announced she had tested positive.
Harris was fully vaccinated with the Moderna vaccine, and has since been boosted twice. Everyone in close proximity to Harris is regularly tested, as is the case for Biden and other high-level White House officials.

Seattle didn’t rotate their roster for this match, but the result was the same: another loss to a team they had no business losing to. The Sounders accomplished both a 2-0 and a 3-1 lead and yet neither was defensible, eventually losing at San Jose 4-3. Seattle allowed a ridiculous 23 shots and committed silly errors across the entirety of a match they should have won. It is beyond frustrating to again see them snatch mediocrity from the jaws of greatness. The team is showing concentration lapses around halftime and an inability to adjust when subs arrive, with a strangely fragile mental attitude that must be fixed immediately. I don’t know what to say at this point.
Goalkeeper
Stefan Frei – 3 | Community – 4.2
Four goals against. I’m not sure how many times in his Seattle career Stefan Frei has conceded four, but this was embarrassing from a guy who rated a 9 last time on the field. He didn’t make any memorable saves, gave up an absolute howler that completely changed the match, and struggled with distribution in a miserable outing.
One thing I liked: A wonky deflection in the 61st minute was “saved” from going out for a free corner kick.
One thing I didn’t like: It’s fair to imagine a world where Frei doesn’t completely bungle a shot directly at him in the 64th minute, allowing the Earthquakes a free goal and more importantly, hope, which they immediately translated into a tying, and then a winning, goal. Full disclosure: I’d have preferred that world.
Going forward: After seeing Stefan Frei stand on his head a few days ago, we know how good he can be. He doesn’t always have to be that guy, but he sure as heck can’t be this guy if Seattle wants success in a massive midweek clash.
Defense
Nouhou – 5 | Community – 5.1
Nouhou was okay in this match, getting four clearances, two tackles, and blocking four shots. His 70 percent passing was also okay, finding a lot of safe passes and some not-so-great link up play and hesitation on his left side.
One thing I liked: Nouhou was great defending down his side and he had to be, or San Jose may have had more. A 45th minute blocked shot saved Seattle from heading into halftime level, and it was his calm defending on the backside of the play that consistently bailed out frantic defensive scrums.
One thing I didn’t like: A pointless push on a late corner kick was penalized, allowing the Earthquakes a late winning goal from the spot.
Going forward: Nouhou is a great defender and will need to be one on Wednesday. For him, it is about eliminating the costly mental mistake while keeping his composure and leaning into his overwhelming physical talent.
Xavier Arreaga – 7 | Community – 5.6 (off 62’ for Yeimar)
Arreaga was strong as part of an at times desperate defensive team that allowed many shots but few quality looks. He had multiple tackles and clearances and even added a key pass and shot on goal for some two-way impact.
One thing I liked: His aerial defense was great, dealing with consistent crosses and clearing the ball on several corner kick defenses without committing penalties.
One thing I didn’t like: Xavi sometimes had a problem finding a pass, dribbling around looking for quick ball movement and nearly losing the ball on a few occasions, which led to 76 percent passing and several scary mistakes.
Going forward: The defense looked considerably stronger with Arreaga on the field, but to fully credit him for that would be presumptuous. His leadership and direction were lacking upon his removal. Xavi has been solid and is a lock to start midweek, but the team needs to find better defensive cohesion across the back six.
Jackson Ragen – 4 | Community – 4.5
Ragen had nearly 80 percent pass completion and several key headers defensively, but he struggled to deal with the San Jose movement in the box and consistently lost his mark. He had three clearances and two tackles.
One thing I liked: Showing some versatility, Ragen pushed to the left side and played as a left center back after Yeimar subbed in. He displayed some long passing as well, such as a 50th minute switch for Jordan Morris that opened the entire field.
One thing I didn’t like: Jackson has been nearly unflappable this season, but he got sloppy and lost concentration at a few big moments. None were bigger than in the 65th minute when he forced a ball central that was weak and intercepted, and the match was tied seconds later.
Going forward: Ragen has done better than expected this season, but like other young players is still growing and showing some youth. With Yeimar returning, Jackson likely still plays often as a sub and quality spot starter.
Alex Roldan – 5 | Community – 5.1
Roldan was active going forward, getting into the attack often but also was victimized defensively as San Jose came back. His four clearances co-led the Sounders, but he had a single key pass and only 81 percent passing.
One thing I liked: A 26th minute stolen pass gave Seattle a counterattack and Alex consistently drove into overlapping attacking areas in the first half, looking to pull the defense to his side which opened the entire field.
One thing I didn’t like: There were a lot of little errors that Alex struggled with, like a throw in directly to San Jose in the 36th minute or missing a wide-open Morris through on goal in the 44th, denying a massive chance. Misjudging a header late gave a free corner to San Jose, and we know how that ended.
Going forward: Seattle’s offense is often predicated on how this former walk-on plays on the wide right side, and he will need to show up for Seattle to win this week. There is legitimate reason to believe Alex can be a key to winning CCL.
Defensive Midfield
Albert Rusnák – 5 | Community – 5.1
Albert had 47 touches and was clean on the ball, leading the starters with a stellar 91 percent passing clip. This didn’t directly result in shots for teammates, however, and he only managed a single attempt himself on goal. He added three tackles defensively.
One thing I liked: Albert makes great vertical runs into the box, and multiple times his direct runs created havoc for opposing defenses without receiving the ball.
One thing I didn’t like: In the 31st minute he tried to drop the ball in traffic defensively, which created havoc for his own team. I love his control and passing, but this was an example where “just clear it” was the play, advice the entire defense could have used.
Going forward: Rusnák gives Seattle an effective central defensive passing pairing to work through the middle better than ever. It also may be contributing to some of their defensive issues, and communication, not skill, will be the key moving forward.
João Paulo – 6 | Community – 5.7 (off 75’ for Vargas)
JP did what he does, leading the team with 82 touches and completing an 80 percent passing clip while dropping in three tackles, three interceptions, and three blocked shots defensively. He was missing from the offensive side of the ball.
One thing I liked: When Seattle looked the best it was often JP finding deep diagonals, opening Morris or Cristian Roldan through long balls, or linking through the middle with Nicolás Lodeiro. He wasn’t on the stat sheet directly, but often he was the “pass before the pass” on multiple strong Sounders chances.
One thing I didn’t like: When JP had a bad touch (or got beat to a ball like on SJ goal number three), Seattle is almost always taken advantage of. Asking him to be perfect is normally realistic, but should he have to be?
Going forward: João Paulo is an incredible player who I fully expect will raise his level of play against the upcoming midweek foe. With him touching the ball as much as he does, a lot of the team’s fortune is riding on his back.
Attacking Midfield
Jordan Morris – 7 | Community – 5.7 (off 75’ for Medranda)
Morris was dynamic offensively, attacking again and again up the left and eventually getting on the scoreboard through a nifty central run. He had three shots to lead the team, added a key pass and was a constant threat to score or get in behind for his entire shift.
One thing I liked: SJ had few answers for Morris’ pace, with Jordan nearly RRBH in the 22nd, getting over the top in the 50th, and scoring in the 57th.
One thing I didn’t like: Morris scored, but missed Raúl Ruidíaz in the 23rd for a likely assist, and in the 37th had a 1-v-1 that, with better control, likely gets him a goal. A little tighter on a few plays and he could have put the game out of reach of teammates’ blunders leading to a loss.
Going forward: Morris puts an incredible amount of pressure on the opponents and will be needed to force the Pumas’ right back to defend, which will be key to limiting the Mexican team’s normal attack vector. Scoring on some of these near misses would be appreciated as well.
Nico Lodeiro – 8 (MOTM) | Community – 6.2 (off 83’ for Rowe)
Nico was once again up near the top of the touches list (72, second behind JP) and had a solid 80 percent passing completion rate. His creation wasn’t large quantity (one shot, two kay passes) but his contribution was of excellent quality, being involved in all Seattle goals with two assists and a penalty scored.
One thing I liked: Nico was dealing in the first half, scoring a 14th minute PK before assisting beautifully with curling service on a set piece in the 18th and from the run of play in the 57th. His connection forward in attacking goal was magnificent and reminded us of how game-breaking his passing can be.
One thing I didn’t like: Although effective offensively, Nico lacked his normal impact on the defensive side, often disappearing from play, and lacked his coverage that we’re used to seeing in the middle. This put more pressure on the center of the defense, and Lodeiro also forced the ball a few times instead of finding easier passes.
Going forward: Nico doesn’t look exactly like himself, but this match showed he can produce massive results while still working back to form. If allowed as much space as against SJ in the future, bank on similar output.
Cristian Roldan– 7 | Community – 6.3 (MOTM)
Cristian was all over the pitch in the first half, earning many of his 66 touches from new angles and positioning as he compensated for Nico’s increased roaming. He had a shot, a key pass, and when provided a chance to score, did that in the 19th minute.
One thing I liked: His ability to impact the game from all over the field was again on display, starting wide right and combining up the wing, getting central to combine, and even popping up on the left to connect with Morris on occasion. He scored an excellent header that gave Seattle what should have been an insurmountable two-goal lead.
One thing I didn’t like: Several poor touches led to a frustrated Roldan. He worked hard, but as early as the 80th minute looked tired, forced to repeatedly recover defensively and being unable to connect with his brother as much as we are used to.
Going forward: Roldan is a hybrid winger who cannot be defended when he is on form. He will need to bring this energy midweek, because it creates problems for teams who cannot match his intensity.
Forward
Raúl Ruidíaz – 6 | Community – 5.7 (off 82’ for Bruin)
Ruidíaz played as more of a holdup forward in this match, not getting behind a ton or finding service into the box, but dropping in to support and turning, showing some fancy dribbling. He touched the ball 36 times and had a very clean 91 percent passing rate, mostly back or square. He had two shots but was relatively quiet after creating the first big chance that should have put the match away.
One thing I liked: Raúl earned an early PK (and red card uncalled) by showcasing a bit of skill in the box in the 13th minute. His switch in the 57th after some nifty holdup play found a wide open Lodeiro for what should have been the final goal of the match.
One thing I didn’t like: He had to play 82 minutes as Seattle chased a game that they had no business keeping competitive, and he nearly got his leg broken for his efforts.
Going forward: Raúl is lucky that Nathan didn’t seriously hurt him. Seattle will need similar scoreboard output from Ruidíaz, who’ll be playing in a very hostile environment midweek that he should be familiar with.
Substitutes
Yeimar – 4 | Community – 5.0 (on 62’ for Arreaga)
It was nice to see Yeimar return. It wasn’t nice that everything fell apart almost immediately upon his insertion.
One thing I liked: He showed great defense directly after stepping on the field; a 63rd minute stand up and steal created a counter for Seattle.
One thing I didn’t like: Seattle rarely looks settled after a defensive sub. Shifting around the back line immediately led to communication and positioning errors that San Jose was happy to exploit. The Sounders conceded two goals immediately after Yeimar arrived on the field, and three in his 30-minute shift.
Going forward: Seattle’s best 11 has Yeimar on it.
Jimmy Medranda – 4 | Community – 3.7 (on 75’ for Morris)
Medranda came in and was active without being effective. Only nine touches and some hustle didn’t show a lot for Jimmy.
One thing I liked: An 82nd minute steal showcased some nice anticipation as he is excellent at jumping passing lanes and creating offense.
One thing I didn’t like: I don’t know whether he was trying too hard, but the field was crap and Medranda was slipping all over, leading to multiple defensive breakdowns. Adjusting to the surface would have been nice.
Going forward: Medranda hasn’t looked remotely like the player who made Brad Smith expendable in the offseason.
Obed Vargas – 5 | Community – 5.0 (on 75’ for João Paulo)
Obed came in to the middle to pair with Rusnák and was okay, finding the ball 14 times and completing all his passes to teammates.
One thing I liked: A 75th minute control in traffic was a reminder of just how gorgeous this young player’s touch and vision are.
One thing I didn’t like: He had very little impact, barely touching the ball and getting a single tackle on his defensive résumé. He compounded this by committing two fouls.
Going forward: Vargas is an immense talent but seems to be a supplementary piece at this point in his career.
Will Bruin – 4 | Community – 4.4 (on 82’ for Ruidíaz)
Bruin played.
One thing I liked: Getting Raúl off the terrible field without being injured was a good call.
One thing I didn’t like: Bruin turned the ball over nearly every time he touched it and made diagonal runs to the corner as the biggest target on the field. He was credited with only two touches and an aerial won and failed to complete his single pass attempt.
Going forward: Will is just running around at this point.
Kelyn Rowe – 5 | Community – 4.7 (on 83’ for Lodeiro)
Rowe played.
One thing I liked: Some slick dribbling reminded us that Rowe is comfortable in the middle of the field, and he showed great defense in the box in the 84th minute before adding a late shot on goal.
One thing I didn’t like: With an open volley and a chance to be a late hero in minute 87, Kelyn whiffed.
Going forward: Rowe is likely to play a lot, since he’s a known commodity all over the field, but he doesn’t show starting ability anywhere.
Referee
Ted Unkel – 4 | Community – 2.8
Let everything go early, call it tight late. This was the mantra of Unkel, and he followed that script. Ignoring physical play early but calling touch fouls late, he looked to be heavily refereeing the scoreboard.
One thing I liked: Immediately going to the spot early and ignoring a 52nd minute dive in the box were two nice decisions.
One thing I didn’t like: It’s a red card. Nathan comes in hard and high and cleats into the knee and frankly Raúl is lucky not to be seriously injured. But this ref doesn’t want the game to get out of hand so leaves the guy on the field by overruling his VAR. He doesn’t overrule VAR on a late and much less obvious penalty. The first call is indefensible. The second one less so, but the cumulative effect is frustrating.
Going forward: I’m not sure how many times Unkel has made the game about himself when refereeing Seattle matches, but I’ve rated about 10 Sounders matches that he’s done, so I am guessing about nine.
San Jose Earthquakes MOTM
Cristian Espinoza scored a hat trick, including the match-tying and match-winning goals, and for that, he earned Man of the Match. Now, his first of the three was well-earned as he reacted quickest to his own rebound (while Rusnák literally did not react at all). But his second was a shanked cross and his third was from the spot. Fine. Whatever. Take your award.
Next up: No one will care about this match if the real Seattle shows up in Mexico on Wednesday. | https://www.sounderatheart.com/2022/4/26/23042104/seattle-sounders-san-jose-earthquakes-player-ratings-lodeiro | 2022-04-26T18:15:47Z | https://www.sounderatheart.com/2022/4/26/23042104/seattle-sounders-san-jose-earthquakes-player-ratings-lodeiro | true | 1 |

Shiels and Ryan share Dunlop Masters Superbike wins as Mondello Park lap records tumble.
Derek Sheils and Richie Ryan got their 2022 Dunlop Masters Superbike Championship campaigns off to winning starts at Mondello Park on April 23rd and 24th as they shared the top two spots across the opening three rounds of the series. In front of a packed house the Superbike stars traded wins and fastest laps on a weekend where a number of records were broken.
Sheils took pole for race one on his brand new Roadhouse Macau BMW ahead of UK visitor John Ingram with his Fleetwood BMW and reigning four time champion Richie Ryan from Kilkenny with his Mobil-1 Yamaha. Shiels got away brilliantly in race one and had built a sizeable lead by the end of lap two when the race was stopped due to a crash for Ingram which unfortunately put him out for the rest of the weekend.
On the restart Sheils again led, with pressure coming from behind from Ryan while Dubliner Thomas O’Grady on his EICL Yamaha and the unrelated Emmett O’Grady from Kerry, on his TAG VTL Honda, fought over third. As Sheils cruised to the opening win of the season ahead of Ryan, the O’Grady’s swapped places right to the flag. On the final lap Thomas tried to ride right around the outside of Emmett at Southside Corner but just lost out on the podium by two thousandths of a second.
Sheils mad a slow start in race two which left him third in the early laps behind surprise performer of the weekend Alan Kenny. The Cavan man, on his Yamaha R1, had finished seventh in race one but made a huge leap forward in race two to run second early on. By the end of lap two Sheils was by Kenny and began to close on Ryan, setting the fastest race lap on the way. In the end he ran out of laps as Ryan opened his 2022 account. Kenny held on for third ahead of Thomas and Emmett O’Grady.
Race three was more straightforward for Sheils who got away ahead of Ryan and Thomas O’Grady with Kenny close behind. On lap two Kenny moved up into third and held on to complete and excellent weekend by taking his second podium behind Sheils and Ryan.
The Superbike Cup class was the fastest it has ever been with Jamie Collins setting a new class lap record. Corkman Collins with his Suzuki and the BMW of Andrew Whearty from Meath traded the lap record all weekend as they battled for top spot in the Cup with the verdict eventually going to Collins. Collins took two victories to Whearty’s one while Ulster rider Stephen Magill took all three third places on his return to the series.
In Supersport Donegal’s Caolán Irwin and Oisin Maher from Tipperary, took the top two spots just ahead of former MotoGP and BSB rider, Chris Burns. Maher led the opening lap before Irwin moved by, but he could not shake off his younger rival as they finished less than a second apart. Burns came home third but that would be the best his weekend would get as a crash in race two put him out for the weekend. The first Cup race of the year went to Tralee’s Jack O’Grady from Burns teammate A Jay Carey and fellow Ulster rider Gary Scott.
In race two Irwin led away but Maher got by on lap four before a small mistake saw him crash out and miss the third race of the weekend. Irwin again took the win, ahead of the top two in the Supersport Cup, Carey and O’Grady. Race three saw Irwin took an unexpected hat-trick from Supersport debutant, Cavan’s Shane Connolly and first time Cup winner Dean Lacey, from Wicklow. Scott took second in the Cup from Carey to leave the top four in the Cup championship, Carey, O’Grady, Lacey and Scott separated by just twelve points.
In the Principal Insurance Twins race, Waterford’s Brian McCormack took the first Irish win for the new Aprilia RS660. McCormack’s Tramore neighbour, teenager Reece Coyne, took second on his twins debut but a crashed out of the event in race two. Thomas O’Grady made it three Aprilia’s on the podium in race one and then followed McCormack home in the next two races to cap off a busy weekend for the Dubliner, while McCormack also added a new Supertwin lap record to his achievements. William Roberts and Mark Quilligan each filled the third podium slot once. The Production class saw Brandon Kavanagh take the first win, before Nathan McGauran took over to win the next two, with Robert O’Connell and Gareth Morrell also making the podium.
An increased grid for the DM Groundworks and FJS Plant Junior Championships saw six Meath’s Jack Whearty emerge as the class of the field as he took his first wins in the class. Whearty took all three victories ahead of Antrim’s Nicky Burns with Callum Clint taking two third places and Tom Pierce one. The concurrent Moto1 races all went the way of Reuben Sherman-Boyd who was another to also take home a lap record. Sherman-Boyd was followed home by Bailey Dobson and Robert O’Neill in all three races.
The new for 2022 Future Stars Championship got off to a very competitive start with a number of riders securing large point hauls. Nathan McGauran leads the way following two wins and a third, followed by Supersport racers A Jay Carey and Gary Scott and Moto400 rider Jeff Quilter. The Future Stars are competing for an end of season prize fund provided by Junior class sponsors, DM Groundworks and FJS, along with Sorcon Plant and additional funding from the Irish Motorcycle Supporters Club. | https://superbike-news.co.uk/shiels-and-ryan-share-wins-as-mondello-park-lap-records-tumble/ | 2022-04-26T18:20:47Z | https://superbike-news.co.uk/shiels-and-ryan-share-wins-as-mondello-park-lap-records-tumble/ | false | 1 |
Head coach P.J. Fleck and co. earned a new verbal commitment late Monday night, with Illinois tight end Pierce Walsh with pledging to the Minnesota Golden Gophers.

Scouting Report
Last season, Walsh hauled in 30 receptions for 474 yards and three touchdowns as a wide receiver, and recorded 26 tackles, four tackles for loss, and two sacks as a defensive end. Minnesota has him penciled in at the tight end position once he steps on campus, so I expect there will be a learning curve, especially in terms of developing as a run blocker. That said, Walsh has a good frame and is a natural athlete. He’ll need to add to his frame once he gets to Minnesota, but Walsh has skills as a pass catcher that could be a valuable addition to the Gophers’ tight end room, where Brevyn Spann-Ford is already carving out a dynamic role. | https://www.thedailygopher.com/2022/4/26/23042571/minnesota-football-recruiting-2023-pierce-walsh-tight-end | 2022-04-26T18:21:06Z | https://www.thedailygopher.com/2022/4/26/23042571/minnesota-football-recruiting-2023-pierce-walsh-tight-end | true | 1 |

KYIV, Ukraine — The president of Trans-Dniester, a Russian-occupied, self-proclaimed independent republic, says his government has traced recent attacks to Ukraine, according to Russian state media. President Vadim Krasnoselsky has called on Kyiv to investigate what he calls the infiltration of Trans-Dniester by Ukrainian militant groups.
Krasnoselsky was referring to explosions Tuesday morning that knocked down two radio towers that broadcast in Russian and to what authorities called a "terrorist attack" on a military unit near the Trans-Dniestrian capital of Tiraspol.
On Monday, the authorities in Trans-Dniester also reported a series of explosions at the Ministry of State Security. They attributed the damage to rocket-propelled grenade launchers. There were no reports of injuries in any of the attacks.
Ukraine's Ministry of Defense described the recent attacks as "false-flag" operations staged by Russia's Federal Security Service, known as the FSB. The purpose, they say, is to spark panic and provide a potential pretext for mobilizing Russian troops in Trans-Dniester to attack Ukraine.
Trans-Dniester, which is part of the former Soviet Republic of Moldova, usually doesn't get much attention. But political and military leaders in Europe are watching it closely because it is home to about 1,500 Russian troops and shares a 250-mile border with Ukraine.

Trans-Dniester moved to separate from Moldova in the early 1990s amid the collapse of the Soviet Union. The territory, which was loyal to the USSR, fought a short war with Moldovan troops. Russian soldiers intervened on the Trans-Dniestrian side and the fighting forces reached a cease-fire in 1992.
Trans-Dniester declared itself a republic, though it remains internationally unrecognized — even by Russia. Last month, the Council of Europe described Trans-Dniester as Russian-occupied territory. Moscow insists its forces are peacekeeping troops.
Recently, a senior Russian military official, Maj. Gen. Rustam Minnekayev, claimed Moscow's military objectives now included control over all of southern Ukraine — a move that Minnekayev said would allow Russian forces to provide additional protections to Russian-speakers facing "oppression" in Trans-Dniester.
While it was unclear whether Minnekayev's comments reflected official government policy, Moldova's Foreign Ministry summoned Russia's ambassador to express "deep concern" over the incident.
U.S. military officials doubt Russia has the military capacity to stretch its forces across the south of Ukraine into the Moldovan breakaway region.

The town of Signal Mountain has been without a permanent town manager since the beginning of the year after the retirement of Boyd Veal. There have been two searches for a replacement, the first ending without finding a suitable candidate. Since January, the position has been filled with two interim city managers. At a special called meeting, Josh Ray was selected for the job on Friday. Mr. Ray most recently was employed by the city of Shelbyville, Tn. as the city manager for a little over a year before being terminated at the beginning of March, 2022.
The Signal Mountain Council held a special called meeting prior to their work session on Monday night, to discuss negotiations related to his acceptance of the job. In a contract submitted to Town Attorney Harry Cash, Mr. Ray requested for the town to pay up to $10,000 in expenses related to his move. The council chose to itemize the expenses rather than consider it as one sum. The offer will include a salary of $115,000 and $3,500 to cover the cost of the move of around 100 miles. He will also be entitled to temporary housing paid for by the city for three months in the amount of $1,800 per month.
The package he is being offered will also have a monthly car allowance and a city-issued phone. The phone plan will be the same that all employees of the town receive, which at this time is around $38 a month, versus the $80 that Mr. Ray asked for. The benefits will also include a severance agreement that has been designed to encourage him to stay. It will be a base amount of three months’ salary plus an additional amount for every year he works for the town.
Mayor Charles Poss told the council that Mr. Ray is receptive to being mentored by past Interim City Manager Mitch Moore. In conversations with the mayor, Mr. Ray has also indicted he is interested in the job and will accept it if the numbers can be agreed upon.
The counter offer from the city and a contract should be received by him on Tuesday, and the council is giving him a hard deadline of Thursday to give Signal Mountain an answer.
A special called council meeting has been scheduled for Thursday at 5 p.m. to review the agreement and vote on a contract with Mr. Ray. The meeting is open to the public.
Following the conversation about the next city manager, the council discussed the plans to create a water interconnect with Walden. It would help to assure a source of water for both towns in the event of an emergency. Walden would like for Signal Mountain to install a 12-inch water main to join to their 12-inch pipe. Engineering studies done by Signal Mountain in the past have shown that a 12-inch pipe is not necessary, and that the system would function with three existing six-inch pipes, along with one eight-inch pipe in another location to join the water main in Walden, it was stated. Signal Mountain’s water company manager, Matt Justice, said a 12-inch pipe there is not needed because there is not growth in that area of town to support it.
The bigger problem is the cost to build a booster/pumping station. The elevation in Walden is greater than in the town of Signal Mountain so if water is directed toward Signal Mountain a gravity system can easily move the water in that direction. But a pump station is needed to get water from Signal Mountain to Walden because it is uphill. The $344,000 cost to build that pump station is the problem, said Mr. Justice. Grants can be used for the city to buy materials, but not to build the pumping station. An outside third party, to manage the planning, engineering and to function as a product manager, will also be needed.
By using grants, the town could save five percent of the cost. But doing this project could use half of the ARPP funds, said Mr. Justice. The other projects that are needed in the town are not even known yet in order to prioritize them, said Council Member Elizabeth Baker, Over the next several weeks she will ask department heads how they would prioritize the grant money. | https://www.chattanoogan.com/2022/4/26/447998/Signal-Mountain-Finally-Agrees-On-Town.aspx | 2022-04-26T18:23:40Z | https://www.chattanoogan.com/2022/4/26/447998/Signal-Mountain-Finally-Agrees-On-Town.aspx | false | 1 |

By Erik Gunn | Wisconsin Examiner
A new COVID-19 surge is underway in Wisconsin, with the average number of new cases per day now three times what it was a month ago.
So far, however, hospitalizations have remained low in the aftermath of a massive spike at the beginning of 2022.
According to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS), as of Sunday (April 24) Wisconsin recorded 1,071 new COVID-19 cases on average per day over the previous seven days. The seven-day average for new cases per day last bottomed out on March 23, when it stood at 316.
DHS reported that 8.2% of the COVID tests given each day over the past seven days were positive for the SARS-CoV-2 virus. That’s three times the seven-day average positive-test rate a month ago of 2.7%.
“These trends are concerning,” said Dr. Ben Weston, the chief health policy advisor for Milwaukee County and a professor at the Medical College of Wisconsin. “The overall disease burden is relatively low, but the positivity graph is going up.”
People considering whether to risk exposure to the virus by gathering in close quarters with others will need to consider both their tolerance for risk and what forms of protection they have, Weston said in an interview.
Risk factors include whether a person may have a compromised immune system, including from medications being taken for some other condition. Others include whether there are unvaccinated children, or older and more vulnerable adults such as a grandparent, sharing the same household, as well as the potential long-term effects of COVID-19.
Along with those and other risk factors are what Weston calls a person’s layers of protection, starting with the COVID-19 vaccine.
“If you have to choose one layer, it’s going to be, stay up to date on vaccinations and boosters,” Weston said. “It’s also the best way to protect those around you.”
The current rate of people getting a vaccine for the first time is “dismally low” in Wisconsin, he said. According to DHS, 61% of Wisconsin residents have had the full initial series for a COVID-19 vaccine and 64% have had at least a first vaccine dose.
Children 5 to 11 years old are the youngest age group eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine, but so far, 27.5% in that age group have begun the process.
“It really is an uphill battle to make sure that parents are aware that children are eligible, and to make sure that they can go ahead and get their children vaccinated, both for COVID but as well as the immunizations that they may have missed in the past two years,” said Stephanie Schauer, DHS vaccine program manager, in a briefing Monday.
Weston said that in addition to reducing the risk of severe illness that could lead to a hospital stay, the vaccine protects against transmission.
In a gathering, “With folks you know who are all vaccinated, you can feel a lot safer,” he said, and gathering outdoors, where ventilation is open, also is likely to keep people safe from exposure.
He recommends masking, particularly when there isn’t universal vaccination or when a person is more vulnerable to the virus, to reduce the risk of exposure.
Hospitals have not yet felt a strain from the new uptick in cases. The Wisconsin Hospital Association reported that 185 people in the state were hospitalized for COVID-19 as of Monday, well below the most recent peak of more than 2,200 in January.
Earlier this year the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) instituted a new way of assessing COVID-19 severity by “community level.” That new measurement combines reported infections from the virus with the numbers of people hospitalized for the illness.
So far, all but three counties in Wisconsin have maintained a “low community level” for COVID-19, even with the recent increase in infections, in part because hospitalization rates have stayed low.
A different measure, community transmission of the virus, remains high or substantial in more than half the state, however, according to the CDC. The agency maps community transmission rates separately from its community level rates. Community transmission is “high” in 30 counties and “substantial” in another 23 counties.
Instead of that measure, however, the CDC uses its new community level system to benchmark guidelines for wearing masks and taking other precautions to reduce the risk of transmitting the virus.
The agency guidelines direct members of the public where the community level is “low” to focus on staying up to date with COVID-19 vaccines
and boosters, ensure there is adequate indoor ventilation to refresh room air and reduce the airborne transmission of the virus, and to seek testing if symptoms develop.
Where community level is “medium,” the CDC suggests that people who may be vulnerable to the virus consider wearing a mask, and where it is “high,” the agency recommends that everyone mask.
In public health circles, the CDC’s revised approach has drawn some criticism for waiting until hospitalizations rise to raise concern, because hospitalization is a lagging indicator of the spread of the illness.
But Traci DeSalvo, director of the bureau of communicable diseases at the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS), said in a recent media call that the community level measurement was valuable because it highlighted hospital cases.
“That’s a really important measure at this point in the pandemic, and with COVID-19, is really to make sure we have the capacity in our hospitals to care for the people who are most sick,” DeSalvo said in an April 14 Zoom presentation to reporters.
With Wisconsin still mostly at the low community level of disease, she said, “the most important thing” that DHS is recommending is COVID-19 vaccination — for the first time, if a person hasn’t yet started the vaccine, or with “any additional booster doses that you need to stay up to date.”
Weston said the new cases reflect the spread of the recently publicized newest form of the virus, called B.A.2, a sub-variant of omicron, which was responsible for the dramatic surge in cases in December and January. While the variant has been even more contagious than its predecessors, accounts from other countries where it has emerged have shown a variety of outcomes, from rapid spread to very little.
But the latest increase is a reminder that the virus remains persistent as it evolves.
“As much as all of us wish this weren’t the case, the pandemic isn’t over,” Weston said. “There are still going to be variants.”

II International Congress "All the women who live in me”
In the midst of this meeting, which took place in person and virtually from Philadelphia, a talk was held on the current challenges of migrant women in the U.S.

April 26th, 2022"The world is wide, but in the 21st century it should not be alien,” said Professor Alba Carosio.
Between April 20 and 22, 2022, the second edition of the International Congress "All the women who live in me,” a meeting with training and reflective activities around themes of interest to women's health and well-being, was held at Esperanza College in Philadelphia, PA.
"The main objective is to serve as a platform for female empowerment and well-being, making voices and experiences known, regardless of latitude and thus be a starting point for the construction of a training and reflective space from and for women," it is pointed out on the website of the Comprehensive Center for Mother Earth Women, the organization that produced the event.
Migrant Women
During the third and final day of this congress, the main theme revolved around the drama of migrant women, especially the challenges they must face today.
In a valuable presentation, given by Venezuelan Professor Alba Carosio, a researcher in feminist studies and Latin American thought, who directs the Venezuelan journal of Women's Studies, published by the CEM of Venezuela, an X-ray was presented that exposes the difficult situations that these women must go through to try to lead a dignified life without forgetting their roots.
“There are economic reasons, displacement, family reasons, the search for new horizons, possibilities for personal growth, but there are also general trends that draw female migration in the world. Sorrows and expectations that shape the future for women in their diversity and in the opportunities in leaving (their home countries), mobility and reception,” said Professor Carosio.
Migrant Women’s Figures
According to UN Women data shared by Carosio, the female gender represents almost half of the 244 million migrants and half of the 19.6 million refugees in the world. In addition, the remittances these women send improve their families' livelihoods and health while helping to strengthen the economy.
With information from 2020, it is estimated that 19% of walkers from Venezuela are minors, and 25% are women, of which 3.7% are pregnant.
Other figures that must be taken into account for the actions of these women in their transit through the world are:
RELATED CONTENT
- Migrants, especially women, have higher labor force participation rates than non-migrants, 72.7% vs. 63.9%.
- It is estimated that one in six domestic workers in the world are international migrants, where women represent 73.4% out of the total of these employees.
Factors that Lead to Migration
Professor Carosio also highlighted what she considers to be “push and pull factors,” which are the triggers that lead these women to leave their countries and embark on this journey around the world in search of better conditions. Among the most important are:
- Economic factors: Unemployment, precariousness, low wages.
- Sociopolitical factors: Ethnic, religious, racial, political, or cultural persecution and gender violence.
- Environmental and war factors: Natural disasters and wars.
- Cultural factors: Search for better educational opportunities.
- Family factors: The longing for a reunion between separated family members.
Carosio also socialized some data from the International Organization for Migration (IOM) on the "four main reasons" why migrants arrive in the United States:
- They seek better living conditions.
- They escape situations of family and community violence.
- They try to reunite with their families.
- They are looking for a job that allows them to financially support their children.
Carosio also highlighted that, according to the IOM, in Latin America 50.1% of migrants are women, which means that they currently migrate in greater numbers than men.
Double Discrimination and Challenges
Professor Carosio also referred to the double discrimination that migrant women face, where racism and xenophobia are serious problems that they must deal with on a daily basis, while anti-immigrant sentiment continues to rise in various countries around the world.
With this gray panorama for migrants, the challenges that arise are:
- Preserve their cultural heritage, without this meaning being marginalized or segregated.
- Participate in the new society, finding ways to interact with the culture of the country that hosts them and with its social dynamics.
- Maintain their physical and psychological stability during and after the acculturation process.
Carosio concluded her presentation by stressing that these challenges can be overcome with less trauma if migrant women rely on the efforts of various networks, which are nothing more than "the bonds of solidarity and the bonds of expected trust that serve as sources of social capital and that allow their members to access, among other benefits, economic and cultural resources and special humanitarian aid.” | https://www.aldianews.com/leadership/advocacy/all-women-who-live-me | 2022-04-26T18:29:03Z | https://www.aldianews.com/leadership/advocacy/all-women-who-live-me | true | 2 |
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A Republican lawmaker who wanted to refer to himself as “The Patriot” on the ballot can’t use that nickname, the Oklahoma Election Board has ruled.
The board decided Monday that term-limited state Rep. Sean Roberts can still run for Oklahoma Labor Commissioner, but he can't refer to himself by that nickname on the ballot.
Oklahoma election rules allow a candidate to use a nickname if it’s a name the candidate is generally known by or who does business using the nickname. Roberts’ opponent, Republican Labor Commissioner Leslie Osborn, said there’s no evidence Roberts is known as “The Patriot.”
She pointed out in her petition to the board that Roberts has appeared on the ballot in seven successive elections as Kevin Sean Roberts or Sean Roberts.
Roberts said in a statement he's considering appealing the board's decision.
Also on Monday, the board rejected a petition by Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Jason Bollinger to have his Democratic opponent, Madison Horn, removed from the ballot. Bollinger alleged Horn’s candidacy declaration was incomplete. The two are seeking the Democratic nomination in the U.S. Senate race for the seat currently held by Republican U.S. Sen. James Lankford. | https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Oklahoma-panel-says-candidate-can-t-be-called-17127832.php | 2022-04-26T18:32:06Z | https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Oklahoma-panel-says-candidate-can-t-be-called-17127832.php | false | 31 |

RODMAN — A 19-year-old farmhand has been charged with leaving the scene of a fatal crash after he allegedly struck and killed a pedestrian last year.
Garrett D. Fuller, 19, of Mannsville, was charged by state police on Monday with leaving the scene of a fatal accident, a class D felony, and failure to keep right.
It was around 3:00 p.m. on May 21, when state police say Mr. Fuller was driving a 2003 Ford pickup truck — owned by the farm he worked for — down Freeman Creek Road in the town of Rodman.
Jack L. Keller, a spokesperson for state police, said it appears Mr. Fuller fell asleep at the wheel, resulting in him striking Virginia A. Galaydick, 69. Mrs. Galaydick lived on Freeman Creek Road and was on her daily walk.
Mr. Fuller then drove back to the farm where he worked. At some point, according to Trooper Keller, the farm manager noticed damage to the hood and headlight of the pickup truck Mr. Fuller was driving. When he asked about the damage, Mr. Fuller said he went off the road, but thought he struck a fence post.
The manager, Mr. Fuller and another employee then went back to the scene to fix the supposed post, and that’s when they found Ms. Galaydick deceased, Trooper Keller said.
Mr. Fuller was then evaluated at the scene by a state police drug recognition expert and showed no signs of any drug or alcohol impairment. He was not injured.
State troopers conducted a collision reconstruction and forensics identification investigation and took their time going through the evidence, which is why Mr. Fuller was charged nearly a year after the crash. | https://www.nny360.com/news/jeffersoncounty/19-year-old-charged-with-leaving-scene-after-fatal-rodman-crash-last-year/article_1bbab596-9590-5bf8-ba7f-cb556dd703c2.html | 2022-04-26T18:36:11Z | https://www.nny360.com/news/jeffersoncounty/19-year-old-charged-with-leaving-scene-after-fatal-rodman-crash-last-year/article_1bbab596-9590-5bf8-ba7f-cb556dd703c2.html | true | 1 |
More than 400 antisemitic incidents, including a record number of assaults, were reported across New York State last year in a disturbing pandemic-era trend of hate, the watchdog Anti-Defamation League said Tuesday in its annual report.
The 2021 statewide figures included 183 incidents of harassment, 182 reports of vandalism, 161 cases involving swastikas and 51 assaults. The assault figures for the state were the highest reported since the ADL launched its annual audit in 1979, and showed a 325% jump from the dozen recorded in 2020.
“The alarming uptick in antisemitic incidents in our state should be deeply concerning to all — Jews and those outside of the Jewish community,” said Scott Richman, ADL regional director for New York/New Jersey. “The message that this data is sending us is clear: antisemitism, like other forms of hate, is not going away.”
Attacks on Jewish institutions — synagogues, temples, schools and community centers — jumped from 44 in 2020 to 62 last year, marking a 41% increase. Seven physical assaults and three bomb threats were included in that number, according to the report.
Authorities also reported hate-crime increases in Long Island (up 33%), Westchester County (up 28%) and Rockland County (up 100%).
The report described New York City — and particularly Brooklyn, home to a large Hasidic population — as the “epicenter” of incidents targeting Orthodox Jews. Thirty-four of the 51 assaults took place in Brooklyn, which “continues to be a hotspot for antisemitic activity.” New York accounted for 15% of the crimes against Jews nationally, according to the report.
During a single weekend this past November, the report said, a group of roaming teens targeted multiple Jewish victims between the ages of 3 and 18 in Williamsburg. The victims were slapped, punched and thrown to the ground during the hate-crime spree, the report said.
“The fact that these incidents included a number of vicious assaults — frequently targeting visibly Jewish individuals on the streets of New York, including young children — is incredibly disturbing,” said Richman.
Roughly six of every 10 reported New York State incidents occurred in the five boroughs, and 94% of the reported antisemitic assaults also happened in the city as well.
In one incident last November, a Jewish woman had an unknown liquid thrown in her face after her assailant announced “You people are disgusting.” The report also cited an attack on a Hasidic family of three in Manhattan, when a knife-wielding man approached two parents and their 1-year-old child.
Also, the oft-arrested man busted for smearing his feces on a woman waiting for a Bronx subway was also charted for a September 2021 hate crime where he randomly spit on a Jewish man wearing a yarmulke before announcing, “I’m going to kill you!”
The national numbers were equally daunting, with 2,717 reported incidents marking a 34% increase from the 2020 figures. And the report noted an antisemitic crime jump statewide between May and June 2020, boosted in part by the Gaza conflict between Israel and Hamas. | https://www.nny360.com/news/statenews/report-indicates-n-y-state-leads-nation-in-antisemitic-incidents-with-24-jump-in-2021/article_82b77ec7-f305-5463-a139-414ac06c049f.html | 2022-04-26T18:36:23Z | https://www.nny360.com/news/statenews/report-indicates-n-y-state-leads-nation-in-antisemitic-incidents-with-24-jump-in-2021/article_82b77ec7-f305-5463-a139-414ac06c049f.html | false | 5 |
Ok, clumsy Scooby Doo intro I know, but here’s something that can track your every move that’s not so spooky!
Danish mobile accessories brand, Sandberg A/S, has launched an intelligent phone mount with motion tracking AI that follows the user in any direction as they move. It’s a great accessory for work, fitness and social media.
The mount provides users with the ability to record or view content or meetings in a more convenient way.
Featuring a 360-degree tracking rotation, the mount automatically tracks the movement of the user through motion tracking AI to ensure the best view is always given – ideal for those who record content for social media, take part in online fitness classes or do the odd Joe Wicks session, attend online meetings or presentations or simply video call friends and family.
With an embedded and rechargeable battery that provides up to eight hours of use, it provides users with more than enough time to record or stream anything without the need for wires or a power outlet. From taking part in exercise classes in the garden and being able to view instructions easily as the user moves around, to presenting in an online meeting inside, there will be enough battery to cover any activity and it can be used anywhere. With no app needed and a universal fit for phones between 4cm and 8.5cm, as well as a tripod mount, it is convenient and able to be used by most smartphone owners.

NORMAN, Okla., April 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The latest U.N. report on climate change documented researchers' efforts that have shown some measures of global warming are now unavoidable, and current research efforts are focusing on mitigation and adaptation strategies. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration describes this as a global problem, felt on local scales. Likewise, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration researchers are providing the data, tools and information to better understand and prepare for climate change. One of the effects being impacted by the warming climate is a change in frequency of flash flooding events, as well as the locations in which they most often occur.
A research team led by the University of Oklahoma, with the NOAA National Severe Storms Laboratory and collaborators at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, have created simulations from coupled climate and hydrologic models that demonstrate widespread increases in the occurrences of flash flooding events across most of the United States.
The study is led by Yang Hong, a professor of hydrology and remote sensing in the School of Civil Engineering and Environmental Sciences and in the School of Meteorology at OU. He is the director of the Hydrometeorology and Remote Sensing Laboratory and the founding director of the hydrology and water security online master's program at OU. The research team's findings are published in Nature: Communications Earth and Environment. Zhi Li, a doctoral student with the HyDROS Lab, is the first author.
"This study builds upon the state-of-the-art model (EF5/CREST) that is jointly developed by researchers with OU, NASA, and NOAA's National Severe Storms Laboratory and has initiated collaboration with National Center for Atmospheric Research climate scientists," said Li. "It realizes the concept of 'Digital Twin in Earth System Science,' in which one is our living climate and the other one is our future. Climate change never became so real to me until we successfully collaborated on such research."
"There hasn't been a real definitive study on what's going to happen with flash floods in the future," said Jonathan J. Gourley, research hydrometeorologist with the NOAA National Severe Storms Laboratory and contributor to the study. "We didn't have that robust of an observational record … so, this study helped to fill in that gap. By using some of the rainfall simulations from a convection-resolving climate model and then coupling with our high-resolution hydrologic modeling system, we can see what sort of flash floods would be produced in the future."
The research team used climate simulations and modeling of a 30-year period, 2070-2100, to predict the location and degree to which flash floods are likely to occur. The effect, what the researchers call "flashiness," describes the likelihood of weather conditions that can cause rapid rainfall and lead to flash flooding.
They found that, if emissions continued at their current rate, flooding events would become 7.9% "flashier" by the end of the century, meaning heavy rainfall events are likely to occur quickly and in concentrated areas that are likely to lead to flooding.
Similarly, their results show a more than 10% increase in flash flooding in the Southwest U.S., the greatest increase in "flashiness" among historical flash flood hot spots. The central U.S. is emerging as a new flash flood hotspot as well, with an 8.6% predicted increase. Overall, their results show future flash flood-prone regions are moving northwards.
"More people will have to learn not just how to survive floods but also how to better live with ever-increasing flash floods," said Hong. "The 20-year return floods will more likely occur every two to five years, especially alarming for the emerging flashiness hotspots that will be facing unprecedented challenges with aging infrastructure and outdated flood risk measures. There is a pressing need to implement climate-resilient engineering infrastructure and develop smart hydrological early warning systems."
However, there is still time to curb some of the more extreme impacts. Gourley says climate mitigation strategies could help.
"Now's the time to start thinking about better flood defenses," he said. "Of course, decreasing greenhouse gas concentrations would be the ultimate solution, but in the meantime, we can think about ways to reduce vulnerabilities and improve flash flooding safety education."
"The majority of fatalities related to flash floods are not floods finding people, but people finding floods, meaning they're out and about," he added. "They're typically driving through a flooded roadway."
The best way to stay safe during flash flooding events is to stay off the roads and avoid standing water.
"The conterminous United States are projected to become more prone to flash floods in a high-end emissions scenario," was published April 6, 2022, in the journal Nature: Communications Earth and Environment, DOI:10.1038/s43247-022-00409-6

All Iowans who live in the 20 counties of the new First Congressional District should be appalled and disgusted with Republican Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks.
Her campaign manager, Elliott Husbands, displays a photo on his Twitter page of a room draped with the flags of far-right extremist groups on the wall while volunteers hold up Miller-Meeks barn signs. One flag depicts the “Three Percenters”- people who believe in an anti-government concept and who apparently view themselves as modern day Minutemen. Only they’re not yelling “the Redcoats are coming!”, they think the current U.S. government is tyrannical.
The other flag, the “1776” flag, has been adopted by other far-right militias or extremist groups.
Republican Congresswoman Miller-Meeks should tell Iowans that posting the picture was a mistake and rebuke her campaign manager or explain what she really believes in.
You will recall that members of these fringe groups tried to stop the electoral vote count on January 6, 2021, during the Capitol insurrection. They ransacked the U.S. Capitol and five people were killed.
People are also reading…
The Southern Poverty Law Center wrote the following about the Oath Keepers (who also display the Three Percenters flag)- “threats to American liberties that Oath Keepers say the federal government is responsible for are in reality a set of baseless conspiracy theories”.
Is Miller-Meeks the person we want to represent the First District, a far-right extremist?

Op-ed: Victims of crime must be treated with respect and compassion, criminals prosecuted
The person injured or killed by gun violence. The child who is exploited by an online predator or who suffers hands-on abuse. The drug addict to whom dealers purvey dangerous and sometimes deadly wares. The elderly grandparent who is defrauded.
It is National Crime Victim’s Rights Week, and, as the U.S. Attorney for the Central District of Illinois, I join communities nationwide in recognizing the importance of rights, access, and equity for victims.
I am motivated to serve every day not only to reduce crime in our communities but also to achieve justice for the victims who have been harmed and their loved ones. My goal is not only to hold the perpetrator accountable, but it is also to ensure that victims are treated with respect and compassion during and after the prosecution of their case.
I remember a particular case that I prosecuted, where a large sum of money was stolen from an elderly victim. We were able to stop the fraud in its tracks, so the victim was not left destitute, and also obtain a restitution order against the defendant. These results were undeniably important, but it was also critical that our office exhibit care and concern for the person who had been defrauded – which was an emotional and traumatic event – particularly in light of certain competency issues he faced.

Victims’ issues are of the utmost importance, and I applaud the Office for Victims of Crime in the United States Department of Justice for spearheading this annual and important weeklong event. But as DOJ also recognizes, our care for victims of crime must and will extend beyond our public commemoration.
According to the Bureau of Justice, the violent crime victimization rate was 21 per 1,000 persons age 12 or older in the United States in 2021. While this was a slight decrease from 2020, it shows that we still have significant work to do in reducing crime. As we work toward this goal, we are more committed than ever to working with our local, state, and federal partners to promote laws, policies and programs that support victims of crime in achieving justice and in their recovery.
We also appreciate the progress that has been made in supporting victims of crime. Thanks to the hard work of individuals and organizations across the country, every state now has a crime victim compensation fund and laws, such as the Illinois Crime Victims Bill of Rights, that offer protection and assistance to victims of crime.
Finally, we should recognize that communities as a whole are victims of crime as well, which also underscores the need to reduce crime in our district. Communities are affected by gun violence, sexual exploitation of children, drug dealing, and fraud. They also are harmed by the dumping of toxic waste, corruption, and other criminal acts.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of Illinois is committed to working for justice on behalf of individual victims and to bettering the health of our communities. We hope you join and support these efforts.

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — A Brazilian federal court on Monday upheld the suspension of an environmental license for what would be the largest open-pit gold mine in the nation’s Amazon rainforest, dealing a blow to the Canada-based company behind the project.
Belo Sun Mining Corp. was appealing the same court’s 2017 ruling, which found that the company’s consultation with local Indigenous peoples and study on the project’s socio-environmental impacts didn’t meet the criteria required by the National Indian Foundation.
In a 3-0 vote, the court maintained its prior ruling. Belo Sun can appeal the decision to a higher court.
The company’s Volta Grande project is located on the banks of the Xingu River, in the state of Para. It is located about 20 kilometers (12.4 miles) from Belo Monte, the world’s third-biggest hydroelectric dam. The Belo Monte dam has reduced the flow in the Volta Grande (Big Bend) stretch of the Xingu River, where the Belo Sun project is located. Among other impacts, the fish population, a local staple food, is diminishing, endangering endemic species, such as the Hypancistrus zebra.
“My community wasn’t consulted about the Belo Sun project,” Lorena Curuaia, a leader from the Iawa village, told The Associated Press by phone. “Belo Monte already has had a major impact on the Xingu. A second project could mean the death of the local peoples.”
Belo Sun has argued that it already consulted the Indigenous peoples, and that their closest community is more than 10 km (6 miles) away. The Federal Prosecutors’ Office states that the company only considered officially demarcated areas, and that Indigenous communities outside these places should also be taken into account.
Contacted by phone and email Monday, Belo Sun’s office in Brazil didn’t respond to AP requests for comment about the court’s decision or if it would appeal.
According to the company, the project covers 2,400 hectares (5,930 acres).
“This is another victory for the Indigenous and riverine people of Volta Grande do Xingu,” federal prosecutor Felício de Araújo Pontes Jr. said in a text message. “They know that a mining project can have devastating impacts on the region. The judgment shows the resilience of this population.”

BOSTON — Each day brings Henry Saladino a new set of challenges and opportunities. The two-year-old was born with a rare genetic disorder that can bring on life-threatening seizures and paralysis at any moment.
We met Henry and his mom Mary on a good day recently, inside their Boston home. On this day, the small pharmacy of drugs in the family's kitchen cabinet was keeping her toddler's seizures at bay.
"Our disease is called the 'human time bomb disease' because any symptom could hit at any time," Henry's mom explained as she worked to fill a small vial with anti-seizure medication.
Born right at the start of the pandemic, Henry’s doctors soon diagnosed him with a rare disease called Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood or AHC. Doctors estimate there are about 25 other children in the entire world who share the same genetic mutation.
"It's really awful to see when it hits him. He's a very different child," his mom added.
In an effort to better help his team of physicians, Mary Saladino often documents her son’s seizures via video. Aside from seizures, Henry will often suffer from temporary paralysis which takes away his ability to breathe.
"The big fear with all of these symptoms is regression, it could be temporary or permanent regression," Mary Saladino said.
But there is a catch to all this. Doctors believe the science is out there to help Henry. No pharmaceutical company though will test a drug for just one person. So Mary Saladino is on a mission. She's started a foundation is hoping to raise nearly $3 million dollars needed to pay a pharmaceutical company needed so they’ll test and produce a treatment for her little boy.
"It’s just the realization that if it's that expensive, we can do it. If I’m told money is the biggest hurdle, I’m going to find the money," she added.
Doctor Christelle Achkar is one of Henry’s doctors at Children's Hospital in Boston. While his condition may be rare efforts to find a cure for Henry could help other kids facing similar conditions.
"It might sound like one treatment for one person is not gonna change things. But it is paving the way for all of us bringing bigger groups together to think about treatment," Dr. Achkar said.
Even if scientists can’t find a treatment for Henry. He’ll have provided a roadmap for other families struggling with other rare diseases.
"We’re learning about epilepsy and genetics one patient at a time. And every patient matters," Dr. Achkar added.
For now, each day brings with it a new milestone for Henry Saladino and his family. Trying to move closer to a cure one step at a time. | https://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/national/facing-rare-diagnosis-family-works-to-develop-treatment-for-their-toddler | 2022-04-26T18:50:57Z | https://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/national/facing-rare-diagnosis-family-works-to-develop-treatment-for-their-toddler | false | 10 |
Megan Fox is baring all for the April issue of “Glamour UK,” serving as the magazine’s covergirl in futuristic style.
For her cover shot, the “Till Death” star wore in a mint green turtleneck sweater by Marc Jacobs, accessorized with a coordinating headband and white gloves. Giving the look added sleekness was a sleeveless gown by Jacobs with a V-shaped neckline, composed of round holographic discs with cutouts between them. A padded headpiece and hidden Giuseppe Zanotti shoes completed her ensemble.
Elsewhere in the editorial styled by Maeve Reilly, Fox posed in a sleek paneled Iris van Herpen gown, lacy Olivier Theyskens gown, Elizabeth Shevelev minidress and Alon Livne gauzy skirt and ruffled crop top — all in pale hues of pink, green and white. The “Jennifer’s Body” star is accessorized with whimsical earrings by Livne, Alessandra Rich and Pasquale Bruni throughout — plus her iconic emerald and diamond engagement ring from Machine Gun Kelly — for a glamorous touch. Completing each look are equally slick heels, including PVC and crystal-embellished mules, pumps and ankle-wrap sandals from Femme LA and Andrea Wazen.
In the accompanying article by Emily Maddick, Fox also took the opportunity to open up about numerous elements of her career and personal life, including dealing with fame as a teenager, being an outspoken feminist and leaving an impactful legacy in the future. She also divulges the truth behind drinking blood with MGK, which went viral when he proposed to her this January.
“It’s just a few drops, but yes, we do consume each other’s blood on occasion for ritual purposes only,” Fox clarifies to Maddick.
In an additional YouTube video for the magazine, Fox opened up about her approach to her children’s wardrobe and identity — as well as the pressures of being a parent in the spotlight.
“Noah started wearing dresses when Noah was about two, and I bought a bunch of books that sort of addressed these things and addressed a full spectrum of what this is,” Fox shared. “Some of the books are written by transgender children. Some of the books are just about how you can be a boy and wear a dress; you can express yourself through your clothing however you want. And that doesn’t even have to have anything to do with your sexuality. So, from the time they were very young, I’ve incorporated those things into their daily lives so that nobody feels like they are weird or strange or different.”
You can watch her full interview below:
When it comes to shoes, Fox’s pairs rotate from edgy and glamorous to purely comfortable. The “Transformers” actress can regularly be spotted on the red carpet in towering stiletto and platform sandals from brands like Femme LA, Amina Muaddi and Jimmy Choo. She’s also formed a penchant for pointed-toe pump with crystal and PVC details by Andrea Wazen, Mach & Mach and Alexander Wang in recent months. Aside from slick heels, Fox’s off-duty rotation includes a range of comfy styles, including Ugg slides, Vans sneakers and Dr. Martens boots.

Which cheap sun shirt is best?
Sunscreen isn’t enough to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. It’s easy to miss spots while applying, and there’s always the hassle of having to reapply every time you take a dip or sweat.
Sun shirts are made from materials that reflect or absorb sun rays. While all clothing does this to some extent, sun shirts are UPF-rated to maximize sun protection. For an affordable UPF 50+ sun shirt, the Baleaf Long Sleeve Shirt is the top choice.
What to know before you buy a cheap sun shirt
UPF rating
UPF stands for ultraviolet protection factor and indicates how much UV radiation can penetrate the sun shirt. For your safety, do not buy a shirt for UV protection unless it’s UPF-rated. Sun shirts range from UPF 15 to UPF 50+.
- UPF 15-24 offers good protection against 93.3%-95.9% of harmful UV rays.
- UPF 25-39 offers very good protection against 96%-97.4% of harmful UV rays.
- UPF 40-50+ offers excellent protection against 97.5%-98% or more of harmful UV rays.
The higher the UPF rating, the more protection a sun shirt offers.
Fabric
Sun shirts are made of densely woven fibers that provide more sun protection than loosely woven ones. They can come in a variety of fabrics, including bamboo, cotton, silk, denim, canvas, wool or synthetic blends, such as polyester, nylon or Lycra. Inexpensive sun shirts are typically made of polyester. Many UPF-rated shirts are treated with chemicals or dyes that absorb UV rays and keep them from penetrating the fabric.
Coverage
Adult sun shirts typically cover the entire torso and feature long sleeves. Most have crew necklines for moderate coverage. With its UPF protection, you don’t need to apply sunscreen on the areas a sun shirt covers. Keep in mind that you’ll still need to apply sunscreen to areas that the shirt doesn’t cover, especially your face. Do so 15 minutes before putting on your shirt and going out into the sun to be sure your sunscreen absorbs fully into the skin.
Size and fit
Adult sun shirts come in men’s and women’s sizes. Men’s sizes typically range from small to 4X, and women’s sizes from XS to 3X. You want a sun shirt to fit well but not too tightly. When a fabric stretches, its fibers pull apart and allow UV radiation to pass through. Pay special attention to the shoulder area, where a shirt can pull tight and sunlight hits directly. Some sun shirts may even add an extra layer of protection in the shoulder area.
What to look for in a quality cheap sun shirt
Color
In addition to the special fabric of a sun shirt, bright and dark colors absorb UV rays. They offer better protection than lighter shades. Keep this in mind when choosing a color of sun shirt. Sun shirts come in solid colors and patterns, depending on the brand.
Neckline
Sun shirts come in a variety of styles, mostly determined by the neckline. Fashion sun shirts for women may have a V-neck or plunging neckline. Both men’s and women’s styles come with a classic crew neck, which offers moderate coverage. A high neckline, or mock neck, can be found on rash guard style sun shirts. Zip necks are also available.
Sleeves
Sun shirts come in long sleeves, three-quarter length sleeves and short sleeves. The longer the sleeve, the more sun protection a shirt offers. Some sleeves feature thumb loops, which allow you to extend the sleeve down over the hand. Long-sleeve styles can get hot in warm weather, so you may want to choose a shirt with air vents for airflow.
How much you can expect to spend on a cheap sun shirt
While sun shirts can cost up to $95, you can find affordable styles between $9-$19.
Cheap sun shirt FAQ
What’s the difference between a rash guard and a sun shirt?
A. Rash guards are designed to be worn in the water for water sports, such as surfing, to prevent rashes and abrasions from the elements, including the sun. They are typically UPF-rated. Sun shirts aren’t specifically designed to be worn in the water unless indicated.
How do I care for my sun shirt?
A. Wash your sun shirt in cold water on a gentle or delicate cycle, or hand-wash it following the care instructions. We recommend air-drying your sun shirt out of direct sunlight. Never tumble-dry or iron a sun shirt because it can reduce the UPF rating. Always replace your shirt when it starts to look worn or if you can see through it when you hold it up to the light.

The case of the late gospel singer of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Osinachi Nwachukwu has been transferred to the Directorate of Public Prosecutions.
Osinachi had died on April 8 of domestic violence. While her husband, Peter, was arrested after the younger brother of the late singer reported the matter to the police.
The case was transferred from the Lugbe Police Division to the State Criminal Investigation Department the following day.
However, the Federal Capital Territory Police Command, Public Relations Officer, Josephine Adeh, on Monday said that the autopsy report had been released.
He asserted that the police would seek legal advice on the matter the case was no longer with the police.
“The case is no longer with us. It is now with the DPP in the office of the Attorney General.”
SaharaReporters had on April 15 reported that the National Hospital in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, said the report of the autopsy conducted on late gospel singer, Osinachi Nwachukwu, was going only to the police who requested for it.
The hospital had said the autopsy would not be disclosed to the public.
The postmortem examination was to discover what killed the Ekwueme crooner.

NORTH BELLMORE, N.Y. (AP) — Five police officers were injured on Long Island over the weekend when three New Jersey teenagers rammed their police vehicles with a stolen car, authorities said Tuesday.
Some of the officers may have suffered career-ending injuries during the confrontation on Sunday, Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder said at a news conference. All five officers were placed on medical leave because of their injuries, Ryder said.
Authorities said three teenagers, all from Newark, were arrested on charges including assault, grand larceny and criminal possession of a weapon, Newsday reported.
Officials said four police vehicles were damaged when the teens crashed a stolen car into them, and two of those vehicles were totaled. Police recovered a pistol and 15 rounds of ammunition from a Mercedes GLS 450 that had been reported stolen on Saturday, the officials said.
“They are hired guns by the gangs in Newark, New Jersey, they are loading them up, they are driving out here, they are committing crimes, they are reckless, they are dangerous, they are damaging our vehicles, they are hurting our cops,” Ryder said.
Two of the suspects are 16 years old and the third is 17 years old. It wasn't clear if they had attorneys who could comment on the charges against them. | https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/article/Police-NJ-teens-ram-car-into-NY-cop-cars-17128014.php | 2022-04-26T19:01:18Z | https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/article/Police-NJ-teens-ram-car-into-NY-cop-cars-17128014.php | true | 11 |
CDC estimates 3 in 4 kids have had coronavirus infections
NEW YORK (AP) — Three out of every four U.S. children have been infected with the coronavirus and more than half of all Americans had signs of previous infections, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention researchers estimated in a report Tuesday.
The researchers examined blood samples from more than 200,000 Americans and looked for virus-fighting antibodies made from infections, not vaccines. They found that signs of past infection rose dramatically between December and February, when the more contagious omicron variant surged through the U.S.
The most striking increase was in children. The percentage of those 17 and under with antibodies rose from about 45% in December to about 75% in February.
For Americans of all ages, about 34% had signs of prior infection in December. Just two months later, 58% did.
“I did expect it to increase. I did not expect it to increase quite this much,” said Dr. Kristie Clarke, co-leader of a CDC team that tracks the extent of coronavirus infections.
The older people were, the less likely they had evidence of past infections, the study found. For those 65 and older, 19% had signs of prior infection in December and 33% did in February. That may be because older adults have higher vaccination rates and they may be more likely to take other COVID-19 precautions, such as wearing masks and avoiding crowds, Clarke said.
Clarke said the tests can detect antibodies for one to two years after infection, and possibly longer.
Studies have shown previous infection can protect some people against severe disease and hospitalization, but CDC officials stressed that the previously infected should still get COVID-19 vaccines.
The study looked for any detectable level of antibodies; it did not distinguish how many people had antibody levels that might be protective. Scientists are still trying to understand what role these kinds of antibodies play in protection from future virus exposures.
Officials continue to urge Americans to get vaccines and boosters, which offer additional protection against COVID-19 for all, including those who were previously infected.

A group of Texas residents who are "card-carrying members" of their local library system are suing officials in the county where they live, claiming officials engaged in censorship in violation of the First Amendment when they banned a slew of books the officials deemed inappropriate.
The library patrons filed the federal lawsuit against officials in Llano County, which is located northwest of Austin, naming the county judge, county commissioners and library officials as defendants.
The group says that the county government's stated purpose of removing "pornographic" material from public libraries was actually a campaign of political and religious censorship.
"Though Plaintiffs differ in their ages, professions, and individual religious and political beliefs, they are fiercely united in their love for reading public library books and in their belief that the government cannot dictate which books they can and cannot read," the lawsuit reads.
Jennifer Buchanan, Llano County court coordinator, said the county would not comment on the pending lawsuit.
Efforts among Republican leaders to ban certain books have ramped up across the country, with a particular focus on titles with themes about race and LGBTQ issues. The American Library Association said it tracked an unprecedented four-fold increase in efforts to ban books last year.
Among the books removed from the Llano County library system, according to the lawsuit, were Maurice Sendak's children's book In the Night Kitchen, in which one character appears nude in one scene, and Robie H. Harris's It's Perfectly Normal: Changing Bodies, Growing Up, Sex, and Sexual Health.
Other popular nonfiction books were also removed from circulation, including Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents, for which Pulitzer Prize-winning author Isabel Wilkerson earned a slew of awards.
The lawsuit alleges officials banned the books for political reasons
The group of residents says county officials claimed they were getting rid of books to protect children from graphic sexual content. But the group says that none of the removed books were pornographic and officials instead targeted books that conflicted with their political and religious views.
County officials also wanted to ban two books from OverDrive, a digital catalog that gave library patrons access to more than 17,000 e-books and audiobooks that the plaintiffs say was frequently used by older residents and residents with physical disabilities, the suit says.
Because they couldn't control the titles on OverDrive, the Llano County Commissioners instead voted to suspend the use of OverDrive altogether in December, the suit says, even though it has a mechanism for parental controls.
The plaintiffs also criticized how county officials reshaped the library's board.
In January, commissioners dissolved the existing library advisory board and reconstituted it to give the commissioners more power over appointments to the board, according to DailyTrib.com. The new board voted to make its meetings private, which the group of residents said violated their 14th Amendment right to due process.

Reliance Industries (RIL) and the Abu Dhabi Chemicals Derivatives Company RSC (TA’ZIZ) on Tuesday signed a shareholder agreement for a chemical project in Ruwais, Abu Dhabi.
The development acquires significance as it will focus on chlor-alkali, ethylene dichloride (EDC) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) production, which is used in a wide range of industrial applications. This is expected to unlock new revenue streams for RIL as well as the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and ADQ, an Abu Dhabi-based investment and holding company, who are strategic partners in TA’ZIZ, a joint venture company.
For the uninitiated, RIL derives over 60 per cent of its revenue and nearly 55 per cent of its operating profit from its oil-to-chemicals (O2C) business. This includes refining, petrochemicals and fuel retail. Retail and telecom, on the other hand, contribute 29 per cent and 17 per cent each to revenue, respectively, said analysts tracking RIL.
The investment in the TA’ZIZ chemical project is estimated at over $2 billion, though RIL clarified that the final investment decision was expected later this year and was subject to regulatory approvals.
Chlor-alkali enables the production of caustic soda, crucial to the alumina refining process. While EDC is used in the production of PVC, which is used to manufacture a wide range of products including pipes, windows fittings, cables, films and flooring.
RIL said that a formal shareholder agreement was signed by senior executives during a visit of Ambani, who is chairman and managing director (MD) of RIL, to the ADNOC headquarters.
The company said that Sultan Al Jaber, Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and ADNOC MD and Group CEO exchanged a signed framework agreement with RIL for the exploration, development and production of conventional and unconventional resources in Abu Dhabi as well as in decarbonisation of operations.
Experts said that the TA’ZIZ project would benefit from the free trade agreement between India and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which was signed in February this year. Chemicals was a priority sector for the UAE, with RIL considering investing in more such projects.
“This joint venture is a testimony to the strong and growing ties between India and the UAE and will be a benchmark for more such projects built on the strengths of the two nations. I am looking forward to implementation of the project at an accelerated pace, taking a step further in enhancing the lives of our people in the region,” Ambani said.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's 'Permanent' Suspension Is Over - Her First Tweet Is Pure Gold
Love her or hate her, Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s voice needs to be heard. The Republican congresswoman, who was permanently suspended from Twitter over “repeated violations” of the social media platform’s Covid-19 misinformation policy in January, has returned, and her initial post is pure gold.
The fiery lawmaker’s first tweet managed to showcase Monday’s spectacular victory for free speech and had the added bonus of sparking outrage from the left.
We may not always agree with Greene, but she certainly has a knack for triggering liberals. And it’s fair to say that when an issue infuriates the left, it’s likely because it’s good for society, freedom and the truth.
— Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (@RepMTG) April 26, 2022
Reaction to Greene’s reinstatement on the platform varied. She received a warm welcome from some Twitter users and was “ratioed” mercilessly by others.
On Friday, Greene was forced to testify at a hearing in Atlanta to determine her constitutional eligibility to hold office in the state. According to CNN, “a group of Georgia voters, who are working with a coalition of liberal activists and constitutional scholars,” are challenging her candidacy because of her “activities” on Jan. 6, 2021.
The controversial congresswoman firmly believes that the November 2020 was stolen from President Donald Trump. She has also been a vocal critic of the House Jan. 6 Committee.
The unprecedented nature of this attack on Greene’s eligibility is a sign of just how much she antagonizes the left. Even CNN acknowledges the group faces an uphill climb in their attempt to boot her from the ballot. They also admit “the judge on Friday appeared skeptical of some of their arguments.”
The report said Greene had been questioned about her ties to “far-right provocateurs and extremist groups who fueled the carnage at the Capitol.” Actually, the only carnage came at the hands of an overly aggressive Capitol Police officer, but I digress.
Unfortunately for the plaintiffs, their attorneys were not able to substantiate claims that Greene “had been aware of plans for violence or that she had coordinated with any rioters.”
Greene allegedly responded with some version of “I do not recall” to over 50 questions, a point that was repeatedly made in many of the responses to her opening tweet.
On Monday, CNN published over 2,000 text messages belonging to former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. A Jan. 17, 2021, message from Greene to Meadows published by USA Today read: “In our private chat with only Members, several are saying the only way to save our Republic is for Trump to call for Marshall (sic) law. I don’t know on those things. I just wanted you to tell him. They stole this election. We all know. They will destroy our country next. Please tell him to declassify as much as possible so we can go after Biden and anyone else!”
She was clobbered by the left over this remark as well.
It’s clear that the feisty lawmaker strikes a nerve with Democrats. But it looks like they’ll be forced to live with it — and so much more — as conservatives who’ve been either suspended or have simply left the platform out of disgust are returning now that there’s a new boss in town.
Huzzah!

Young Blood comes out August 26th and is the follow-up to his 2020 Auerbach-helmed El Dorado.
Young Blood tracklist:
“It’s Too Late”
“Lie Lie Lie”
“Rescue Me”
“Pain”
“Good and Gone
“Blood on the Tracks”
“Hard Working Man”

King said of the first single “Hard Working Man”:
“We tour almost 200 days of the year, and even when I’m home, I’m doing something. Working hard is just the way I was raised. It would make my grandfather proud to know I’m a hard working man and I’ve worked for everything I have. It’s an anthem for the people. You’ve got folks who work all week and spend their hard-earned money just to come see us. They’re the backbone of America. It’s a real blessing.”

The U.S. Transportation Security Administration confirmed that agents had detected a firearm at the Charlotte Douglas International Airport in North Carolina on Tuesday morning, but declined to release passenger details.
The news was reported by WSOC-TV in Charlotte, citing anonymous sources. Neither Cawthorn's office nor the Charlotte police department immediately returned requests for comment. The TSA did not confirm whether a gun had been confiscated.
Cawthorn, who is fighting to hold onto his North Carolina seat in the May 17 Republican primary, had been stopped in February 2021 for attempting to carry a gun through security at an airport in Asheville, North Carolina, but has not faced criminal charges for doing so. He is, however, facing criminal charges for driving with a revoked license and has racked up multiple speeding tickets.
Though he has the endorsement of former President Donald Trump, Cawthorn angered many fellow Republicans after calling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy a "thug" and alleging that he had witnessed cocaine use in Washington and been invited to sex parties.
State Senator Chuck Edwards leads the field of seven candidates looking to unseat Cawthorn. Edwards has been endorsed by U.S. Senator Thom Tillis. If no candidate receives 30%, a runoff will take place on July 26. The seat, based in the mountainous western part of the state, is considered safely Republican.

Adds detail and context
WARSAW, April 26 (Reuters) - Russian gas supplies under the Yamal contract to Poland have been halted, Polish private broadcaster Polsat News and the Onet.pl website reported, citing unnamed sources.
PGNiG SA PGN.WA, which buys gas from Gazprom GAZP.MM under a long-term contract that expires this year, declined to comment.
Physical gas flows via the Yamal-Europe pipeline from Belarus to Poland were at zero kilowatt hours (kWh) at 4pm CET (1400 GMT), down from 52,634,785 kWh/day in the early hours of Tuesday, data from the European Union network of gas transmission operators showed.
The Polish climate ministry said it would hold a briefing on gas supplies at 7:15pm CET on Tuesday.
Poland has repeatedly said it would not agree to Russia's demand to pay in roubles for gas it buys from Gazprom under new rules Russia announced last month.
Moscow has warned Europe it risks having gas supplies cut unless it pays in roubles. In March it issued a decree proposing that energy buyers open accounts at Gazprombank to make payments in euros or dollars, which would then be converted to roubles.
The European Commission said companies should continue to pay the currency agreed in their contracts with Gazprom - 97% of which are in euros or dollars.
Earlier Tuesday, Poland announced a list of 50 Russian oligarchs and companies, including Gazprom, that would be subject to sanctions under a law passed earlier this month allowing their assets to be frozen. The law is separate from sanctions imposed jointly by EU countries.

More than 120,000 pounds of ground beef products that may be contaminated with E. coli are under recall.
Lakeside Refrigerated Services, based in New Jersey, produced the ground beef products between February 1, 2022 and April 8, 2022.
The beef was sold under different name brands, including Thomas Farms, Nature's Reserve and Marketside Butcher.
The affected products have the establishment number “EST. 46841” inside the USDA mark of inspection.
No cases of illness have been reported, but the USDA is concerned some of the products may be in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers.
The USDA said if you have an affected product at home, it should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. | https://www.kxlh.com/news/national/more-than-120-000-pounds-of-ground-beef-recalled-due-to-possible-contamination | 2022-04-26T19:21:55Z | https://www.kxlh.com/news/national/more-than-120-000-pounds-of-ground-beef-recalled-due-to-possible-contamination | false | null |
Syracuse, N.Y. — Syracuse women’s basketball season tickets are now on sale for the first year of Felisha Legette-Jack’s coaching reign, the school announced Tuesday.
General admission season tickets for the 2022-23 campaign starts at $99 per seat, while reserved courtside seating begins at $200. The most expensive package is first row courtside seating, listed at $250 per seat.
Syracuse usually releases its schedule in the fall, shortly before the season begins. The Orange finished 11-18 this season under former acting head coach Vonn Read.
Legette-Jack was hired to coach her alma mater on March 26 after spending 10 seasons at Buffalo. She has already solidified her coaching staff, which includes her former Syracuse teammate and longtime Westhill coach Sue Ludwig, along with former Buffalo assistants Khyreed Carter and Kristen Sharkey.
Syracuse will return six players from last season, led by All-ACC honorable mention Teisha Hyman who led the team in points, rebounds, assists and steals as a redshirt sophomore.
The Orange also added five players to the program through the transfer portal, three of which came from Buffalo: Georgia Woolley, Cheyenne McEvans and Saniaa Wilson. New York natives Kyra Wood of Temple and Olivia Owens from Kentucky will also join the team to provide a boost to the frontcourt.
Syracuse fans can purchase season tickets online at Cuse.com/ticketing, by phone at 888-DOME-TIX or by visiting the Carrier Dome’s box office at Gate B.

False claims of election fraud spread in France after 'computer error'
CommentsMisleading claims of fraud have circulated in France after incorrect presidential election runoff results were displayed on television.
France 2 said that it had displayed incorrect provisional voting figures on the evening of the election due to a "computer error".
The broadcaster has mistakenly attributed 14.2 million votes to winner Emmanuel Macron and 14.4 million to Marine Le Pen. According to the French Interior ministry, Le Pen ended the election with 13.3 million votes and just 41.5% of the vote.
The confusion led some social media users to falsely claim that the election runoff had been marred by voter fraud and that the far-right candidate "lost millions of votes" while the ballots were counting.
But France 2 has apologised and said its software had mistakenly counted some regional votes for Le Pen twice.
"A computer error led us to display incorrect figures during the France 2 election evening on Sunday 24 April," the broadcaster said on Twitter.
"The software that allows the channel to display the data from the Ministry of the Interior counted the votes in some communes twice for both candidates."
"This error, noticed immediately, was later corrected," the broadcaster added.
A number of misleading claims of "election fraud" went viral on Twitter, gaining thousands of likes and retweets.
It was not unusual that Martine Le Pen had led her centre-right rival during the election, due to her popularity in rural areas of France, where polling stations close earlier.
But according to final results published by the French Interior Ministry, Macron won with 18.7 million votes (58.5%).
Unfounded allegations of voter fraud have previously circulated around elections in Germany, the Netherlands, and the United States. | https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2022/04/26/false-claims-of-election-fraud-spread-in-france-after-computer-error | 2022-04-26T19:27:52Z | https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2022/04/26/false-claims-of-election-fraud-spread-in-france-after-computer-error | true | 1 |

Can people be naturally immune or resistant to COVID-19?
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Shane CrottyAmerican virologist and professor
More than two years into the COVID-19 pandemic, most Americans have some immunity against the virus — either by vaccination or infection, or a combination of both. But there have been some rare cases in which certain unvaccinated people seem to have been able to dodge the virus despite being repeatedly exposed to it. This has raised the question of whether it is possible that some people are simply immune or resistant to COVID-19 without having had the virus or a vaccine.
Scientists have been trying to understand if such a resistance to COVID-19 exists and how it would work. Studying these cases, researchers say, could help the development of new vaccines and therapeutics against the disease, which has now taken more than 990,000 American lives.
“It’s been a hard thing to talk about publicly because you say things and then people go, ‘Oh, that must be me, because I haven’t been infected yet,’ when in fact, you know, you may not have been infected because you just got lucky so far,” Shane Crotty, a virologist and professor at the La Jolla Institute for Immunology, told Yahoo News.
Crotty said he and other experts have been cautious to talk about this topic because it is something that is still being studied, and for which there are no clear answers yet.
“Risking a life-threatening illness because you think something that you don’t actually know is a dangerous proposition. Most of us [scientists] have tried to be pretty careful. … Look these aren’t things we know, but they are possibilities,” he added.
A simple potential explanation is that some of those who have not gotten COVID have just been lucky, Crotty said. It could also be that their behaviors, like wearing a mask properly or avoiding certain situations that would put them at risk of contracting the disease, may have kept them protected.
“We rarely know unless it’s a household member who we got COVID from, so maybe you just haven’t been exposed or you’ve been exposed at low levels,” Catherine Troisi, an infectious disease epidemiologist at the University of Texas School of Public Health in Houston, told Yahoo News. “The other explanation, which I think probably counts for a fair proportion of these cases, is that you have had it. We know that a lot of cases are asymptomatic. You aren’t sick, so you don’t know that you had it,” she said.
But scientifically speaking, Crotty said, there are two potential explanations that may explain why some people could have a much greater resistance to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, than others. One idea is that some people may clear the virus rapidly, before it reaches detectable levels, due to existing immunity to other coronaviruses like those that cause the common cold.
There are more than 200 types of common cold viruses — four of which are coronaviruses, comprising about 30% of all common cold infections. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, most people get infected with one or more of these seasonal coronaviruses at some point in their lives.
“The main idea there would be that there are T-cell responses that certain people happen to make in response to certain coronaviruses they’ve had before, that may provide a degree of protection that other people just don’t happen to have,” Crotty said.
T cells are an important part of the immune system that help us fight some viruses. While antibodies, such as those acquired from a vaccine or a previous infection, attack a virus as it enters the body, T cells act as another line of defense once the virus has made it into the body, by preventing the virus from multiplying and causing severe disease. Scientists call these T cells that seem to be effective against different types of coronaviruses “cross-reactive.”
Crotty and his colleagues were among the first to publish a study on this topic, back in May 2020. The scientists analyzed blood samples from people who had been infected with SARS-CoV-2 and then compared that with blood samples of people who had never been infected with the virus.
“Labs around the world have all shown that these cross-reactive T cells do exist, and they exist in approximately 50% of people depending on how you measure them,” Crotty said.
Another study of health care workers in England published in November of last year had similar findings. The study evaluated a group of U.K. health care workers during the first wave of the pandemic who were exposed to the virus but didn’t develop COVID-19. Researchers found that the presence of cross-reactive memory T cells among some of the participants contributed to “the rapid clearance of SARS-CoV-2 and other coronavirus infections.”
But, Crotty said, this is something that scientists need to continue to study. “There’s no study that just nails it because it’s a very hard study to do,” the professor said. He and his team are determined to find some answers; they have enrolled people who have never been infected and have never been vaccinated, and they plan on monitoring them over time.
These T-cells response studies, he said, will play an important role in the development of new COVID-19 vaccines. In fact, there are already different groups of scientists working on shots targeting T cells specifically.
Our current vaccines are designed to teach B cells, a type of white blood cell, to produce antibodies that recognize and bind to proteins found on the virus’s surface, such as the spike protein, which is the part of the virus that helps it attach to cells. When antibodies are present, the virus can’t infect the cell. But the main challenge has been that the coronavirus spike protein mutates frequently, which gives the virus an advantage because it can evade any antibodies that no longer recognize it.
Some experts believe T-cell vaccines could be more effective, because these cells are able to recognize other parts of the virus that may not mutate at the same rate as the spike protein. Vaccines targeting T cells may also provide longer-term protection against severe disease, since studies have shown that antibodies wane a few months after vaccination.
Another potential explanation for COVID-19 resistance is that some people may have innate immunity, meaning that there are genetic factors that protect them from a SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Neville Sanjana, an assistant professor of biology at New York University and a core faculty member at New York Genome Center, has been studying potential genetic factors underlying COVID-19 resistance. He says one place of interest that may provide some answers is the virus’s entry mechanism, which in the case of SARS-CoV-2 is a specific protein that allows the virus to infect human cells called the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2, or ACE2 receptor.
Mutations in the ACE2 receptor, Sanjana says, will make it harder for the virus to get in. Viral resistance due to these types of mutations has already been demonstrated against other viruses such as HIV.
“We know that there’s an entry receptor similar to the one that we’ve identified for SARS-CoV-2, but it’s a different gene,” he said. “With HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, the entry receptor is CCR5, and we know that there are some people who naturally have a mutation that gets rid of CCR5 … and this leaves them virtually immune,” he added.
Besides studying possible mutations in the entry receptor, Sanjana said, scientists have been looking at other genetic variations across the human genome.
“The human genome has about 20,000 genes in it, and we really don’t know which of those genes might influence key cells like the cells in our airway epithelium or in our lungs, which we think is the route of entry for SARS-CoV-2,” he said, adding that some of those genes might make people more or less vulnerable to COVID-19.
A collaborative project called the COVID Human Genetic Effort has been studying thousands of people across different countries, looking for genetic variations that might reveal why some people never get COVID-19, as well as why certain people get so sick while others don’t.
Sanjana said these studies are important for the development of the next generation of therapeutics.
“Most of the therapeutics that we have, whether remdesivir or Paxlovid, work on the virus. They target the virus. They target the viral genes,” he said. “You might imagine that if you understood what the key host genes are … what we could do is maybe design other therapies that target those genes.”

A group occupying a waterfront section in Ahipara since a pōhutukawa was partly cut down last October is bracing itself for eviction.
Occupation co-ordinator Rueben Taipari said police had visited the site last Thursday to serve him with an eviction notice.
He was not present at the time so police told the group occupying the Wharo Way site, known as Moringai, that they would be back on Monday.
As of this afternoon the group was still waiting.

Advertise with NZME."I was only down the road, I told police I'd come back and receive it — but they said they couldn't wait."
As the occupation co-ordinator, the notice had Taipari's name on it and had to be given to him in person.
"We've been here all weekend gearing up. We want to move into the next phase of our plan."
Taipari said a well-attended hui at the site on Sunday backed the group's actions so far, and came up with what he described as "tactical manoeuvres" for the next phase of the occupation.
He wouldn't say what those manoeuvres would entail.
Police were just doing their job if they served the eviction notice, Taipari said.
"It's nothing personal for me, it's just the process that occupations go through. What we decide to do about it is another matter."
The landowner, Kaitaia GP Cecil Williams, attended an earlier hui on April 3.

Advertise with NZME.The group had offered some alternative solutions "but he wasn't keen", Taipari said.
Williams told the group it could have the land if they came up with the $500,000 he said he had paid for it in 2008.
If they didn't leave he would ask police to evict them.
Taipari said the group had discussed buying the land but would not pay $500,000 for 600sq m of sandy ground that is liable to flooding.
In the meantime, the group's research into the history of Moringai — plus their fears for the remaining half of the pōhutukawa — justified the continuing occupation, Taipari said.
"We are convinced we are going to get the land back and we have some great ideas about what we're going to do with it."

Advertise with NZME.Williams couldn't be contacted today but the GP earlier told the Advocate he had been left with no choice, after waiting more than six months for a resolution, to put the section on the market in the hope of recouping the money he had spent on it.
He had originally intended to build his retirement home there but had now abandoned those plans.
Research by the Moringai group showed a significant amount of to-ing and fro-ing in 2003 over which part of the then-new subdivision would be made into a reserve.
Te Rarawa chairman Haami Piripi told the Advocate the iwi was convinced, after a previous 18-month occupation, the front two lots would be protected as a reserve.
He was surprised to discover the front section, which included the pōhutukawa, had been sold while only a 650sq m lot at 3 Wharo Way had been designated a historic reserve. | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/kahu/waiting-game-for-ahipara-occupiers-as-eviction-looms/E3R6J6X7JIQXDTPFCJNZYR7EUQ/ | 2022-04-26T19:30:50Z | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/kahu/waiting-game-for-ahipara-occupiers-as-eviction-looms/E3R6J6X7JIQXDTPFCJNZYR7EUQ/ | true | 4 |
A dramatic drop in testing for Covid-19 has left the world blind to the virus’s continuing rampage and its potentially dangerous mutations, the head of the World Health Organization has warned.
The UN health agency said that reported Covid cases and deaths had been dropping dramatically.
“Last week, just over 15,000 deaths were reported to WHO – the lowest weekly total since March 2020,” WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told reporters.
While saying this is a “a very welcome trend”, he warned that the declining numbers could also be a result of significant cuts in testing for the virus.
“As many countries reduce testing, WHO is receiving less and less information about transmission and sequencing,” he said. “This makes us increasingly blind to patterns of transmission and evolution.”
“When it comes to a deadly virus, ignorance is not bliss.”
William Rodriguez, who heads the global diagnostics alliance FIND, also decried that many governments in recent months simply stopped looking for Covid cases.
Speaking at the press conference hosted by WHO, he pointed out that in the past four months, amid surging Covid cases from the Omicron variant, “testing rates have plummeted by 70% to 90% worldwide”.
The plunging testing rates came despite the fact that there is now more access to accurate testing than ever before.
“We have an unprecedented ability to know what is happening,” Rodriguez said.
“And yet today, because testing has been the first casualty of a global decision to let down our guard, we’re becoming blind to what is happening with this virus.”
The Covid-19 pandemic has officially caused more than 6 million deaths since the virus first surfaced in China in late 2019, but the true toll is believed to be at least three times that high.
While many countries have been removing measures and trying to move back to a semblance of normality, the WHO stresses that the pandemic is still not over.
“This virus won’t go away just because countries stop looking for it,” Tedros said. “It is still spreading, it is still changing, and it is still killing.”
He cautioned that “the threat of a dangerous new variant remains very real”.
“And although deaths are declining, we still don’t understand the long-term consequences of infection in those who survive.” | https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/26/lack-of-covid-testing-leaves-researches-blind-to-evolution-patterns-who-warns | 2022-04-26T19:31:00Z | https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/26/lack-of-covid-testing-leaves-researches-blind-to-evolution-patterns-who-warns | false | 7 |

Authorities have arrested the suspected shooter in the 2010 killing of a U.S. Border Patrol agent whose death exposed a bungled gun-tracking operation by the federal government.
A U.S. marshal for the District of Arizona tells The Arizona Republic that Heraclio Osorio-Arellanes was arrested in Mexico on Wednesday.
Osorio-Arellanes was one of two men who remained fugitives in the December 2010 murder of 40-year-old Brian Terry, whose death exposed Fast and Furious, in which agents from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives allowed criminals to buy guns with the intention of tracking the weapons.
But the agency lost most of the guns, including two that were found at scene of Terry's death. The operation set off a political firestorm.
Four other men involved in the killing have been convicted or have pleaded guilty in federal court to murder charges.

ROME (AP) — Female soccer players in Italy will finally be able to turn professional next season after years of amateur-only status that limited their salaries.
The Italian Soccer Federation’s executive board approved new regulations on Tuesday that open the way for a women’s professional era starting July 1 — in time for the next Serie A season.
“Today is a big day,” federation president Gabriele Gravina said. “We’re the first federation in Italy to put this change into effect.”
Italian law had limited female players to amateur status, meaning that they couldn’t earn more than 30,000 euros ($32,000) per year before taxes.
In the initial vote, the women’s league had unexpectedly voted against the change.
“There was a bit of resistance from Serie A, which wanted to propose a delay but then we reached an agreement,” Gravina said.
Added Lazio president and federation board member Claudio Lotito: “There was just a misunderstanding.”
Former Italy great and Azzurre coach Carolina Morace applauded the move.
“Let’s hope it’s not a finish line but rather a starting off point,” Morace told the Lapresse news agency. “There are a lot of examples in Europe and we’re not the first. The 90,000 spectators at Barcelona show that there’s interest in women’s soccer, even in Latin countries like Spain and Italy.”
Italy’s surprise run to the quarterfinals of the 2019 Women’s World Cup also played a role in the change, Morace said.
Nearly all of the big men’s clubs — Juventus, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Roma and Lazio — have teams that play in the growing Serie A women’s league.
“Now,” Morace added, “I hope that other federations do the same.”

Russia said this week it’s expelling 40 German diplomats in retaliation for Germany kicking out Russian diplomats earlier this month.
The diplomatic tit-for-tat also follows news that the European Union is considering an embargo on Russian oil. So far attempts to starve Russia of oil money have had a limited impact, in part because the price of oil remains high.
The Biden administration wants Saudi Arabia to turn on the spigot and bring down the price of oil to cut Russia’s revenue — but so far that hasn’t happened.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Pinch-hitter Dominic Smith hustled for an infield single that drove in two pivotal runs, and the New York Mets capitalized on an uncharacteristic error by Gold Glove third baseman Nolan Arenado to rally for five runs with two outs in the ninth inning of a 5-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night.
After the hit by Smith gave New York the lead, Brandon Nimmo capped the outburst with a two-run homer.
“It was worth the wait,” Mets manager Buck Showalter said. “It really was. It was fun to watch.”
Max Scherzer struck out 10 over seven innings of two-hit ball in a scoreless duel with Cardinals starter Miles Mikolas. A two-run single by Tyler O’Neill off Trevor May (1-0) put St. Louis ahead in the eighth.
New York was down to its final strike when Mark Canha hit a grounder to third. Arenado, awarded a Gold Glove in each of his nine major league seasons, fielded the ball cleanly behind the bag but took his time making an off-balance throw to first.
The ball sailed high for an error that allowed Eduardo Escobar to score from second, making it 2-1. Canha was credited — curiously — with an infield single.
Jeff McNeil doubled, sending pinch-runner Travis Jankowski to third, and Smith hit a sharp one-hopper that was snagged by sprawling first baseman Paul Goldschmidt behind the bag.
But closer Giovanny Gallegos (0-1) was late covering first, and Smith beat him to the bag with a headfirst dive.
“You try to hustle as hard as you can to beat him. I saw the closer didn’t get over right away,” Smith said. “I just ran as hard as I could. I knew I had a step on him. I felt slow but I tried to run hard.”
McNeil never stopped coming around third and slid in safely at the plate ahead of Gallegos’ throw, giving the fired-up Mets a 3-2 lead.
“Dom probably ran the fastest 90 (feet) of his life there,” McNeil said. “I knew it would be close at first base. I ended up scoring. It was a lot of fun.”
Not for St. Louis, after Gallegos’ gaffe proved costly.
“It’s pretty simple. We’re going to make physical mistakes. That’s a mental mistake there,” manager Oliver Marmol said. “You can’t excuse it. He knows it. We know it. He’s got to cover first.”
Nimmo then lofted the first pitch from lefty reliever T.J. McFarland over the fence in the right-field corner.
“A lot of good things went into that ninth,” Showalter said.
Edwin Díaz struck out two and earned his second save, rebounding after he gave up a tying homer with two outs in the ninth inning Friday night at Arizona.
Pitching in his hometown, Scherzer reached double digits in strikeouts for the 106th time — which ranks fifth on the career chart. In his first season with the Mets since signing a $130 million, three-year contract, the three-time Cy Young Award winner has 33 strikeouts and eight walks in 25 innings.
“Tip your hat off to Miles tonight,” Scherzer said. “That’s baseball. It was a great game. Sometimes you run into a buzz saw and he did his job tonight. I’m pitching on pins and needles there. I have to make every pitch. I was thinking even a solo shot might lose it.”
Mikolas also pitched seven shutout innings in his fourth start of the season. He scattered four hits and walked one. The right-hander has allowed just one earned run in his last three starts covering 20 2/3 innings.
“I felt pretty good,” Mikolas said. “I mixed my pitches up pretty good. I kept them off balance. My delivery is in a good place. I can move the ball around the zone. If I can control the zone, I can control the counts.”
OUCH!
Canha was hit by a pitch in the second. The Mets have been hit by 15 pitches this year, which leads the majors.
ROSTER MOVES
Mets: RHP Adonis Medina was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse and RHP Yoan López was recalled. In his last outing, Medina struck out the side in a perfect eighth inning Saturday against the Diamondbacks.
Cardinals: Recalled INF Brendan Donovan from Triple-A Memphis and optioned OF Lars Nootbaar to their top farm club.
TAKE A BREATHER
Cardinals shortstop Paul DeJong received his second of two scheduled days off. The 28-year-old DeJong is stuck in an 0-for-11 slump with five strikeouts in that span. He finished the recent road trip with just two hits in 21 at-bats. In 12 games this season, DeJong is hitting .139. He had a solid spring training, batting .435 (10 for 23) with two home runs in Grapefruit League play. Edmundo Sosa started Sunday in Cincinnati and Monday against the Mets.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Mets: RHP Taijuan Walker (right shoulder bursitis) threw about 65 pitches in a simulated game Monday afternoon. If there are no complications, Walker likely will return to the rotation Saturday against Philadelphia. He left his season debut early on April 11 and has not appeared in a game since. … After the game, the Mets said injured ace Jacob deGrom had an MRI and CT scan that “revealed considerable healing of the stress reaction on his scapula.” The two-time Cy Young Award winner was cleared to begin “loading and strengthening” of his right shoulder and will undergo another MRI in about three weeks. He is expected to be sidelined until at least June.
Cardinals: Team president John Mozeliak said RHP Jack Flaherty (right shoulder inflammation) continues to make rehabilitation progress. “It’s just something we’re going to have to be patient with, and fingers crossed that he’s going to be a key contributor to this rotation,” Mozeliak said.
UP NEXT
Mets RHP Chris Bassitt (2-1, 3.00 ERA) faces Cardinals RHP Jordan Hicks (1-1, 1.29) on Tuesday night. Hicks, a reliever throughout his first three seasons, made his first major league start last Thursday at Miami, striking out three in a career-high three innings.

Which rangefinder is better: Bushnell or Vortex?
Whether you’re an avid golfer or a hunting enthusiast, it doesn’t hurt to have tools you can use to enhance your experience on the course or in the field.
Rangefinders are excellent tools for both golfers and hunters because they can help you gauge the distance to the green and lock onto animals. Bushnell and Vortex are two top rangefinder manufacturers, and while there are a few notable differences, they’re highly similar in functionality.
Bushnell rangefinder
Bushnell is the innovator of laser technology for golf rangefinders, launching them back in 1995. They remain one of the most popular rangefinder brands and claim that over 98% of PGA Tour participants use their products. They also offer GPS rangefinders, but their laser rangefinders are more popular, as they boast industry-leading technology that delivers precision and accuracy.
Bushnell rangefinder pros
Bushnell rangefinders are compact, making them convenient for traveling and relaying distance information within a few seconds of locking onto a target. They’re easy to use, thanks to features like vibrational and a red ring lock-on confirmation that lets you know when you’ve connected accurately with your target. Many models come with five to seven times magnification so you can zoom in on your target and see it more clearly.
All Bushnell rangefinders are legal for use in tournaments, but some features may need to be disabled depending on the model. Additionally, most models are water-resistant, so you don’t need to worry about them getting wet on rainy days.
Bushnell rangefinder cons
The great thing about Bushnell is they offer several rangefinders, so you can choose something that aligns with your budget. The best rangefinders with premium features are relatively expensive, with some costing well over $400.
Also, depending on the model, some customers have reported focus-centric issues. However, such problems are often addressed quickly and corrected for subsequent models released.
Best Bushnell rangefinders

This rangefinder is compact and easy to use, and it has several innovative features, such as Slope-Switch technology that accounts for the hole’s incline or decline and its distance. It also has a pin seeker with a visual jolt feature that alerts you when you’ve hit the pin for target lock-on confirmation. Sold by Amazon
Bushnell Pro XE Golf Laser Rangefinder
The Pro XE is Bushnell’s top-of-the-line rangefinder. It’s expensive, but you’ll get an array of premium features, such as Slope with Elements, which adds temperature and barometric pressure to Slope Technology for the most precise distance readings. It offers crystal-clear clarity and comes with a durable carrying case. Sold by Amazon and Dick’s Sporting Goods
Bushnell Prime 1800 6X24 Laser Rangefinder
This affordable model boasts an intuitive display and a feature that lets you hide background environments to focus on your target more easily. Ranges and distances are updated continuously, and the all-glass optical system allows for brighter vision. Sold by Amazon and Dick’s Sporting Goods
Vortex rangefinder
Vortex has been around since 1986 and is a top manufacturer of optic tools. While Bushnell focuses on golf products, Vortex makes optic accessories for various activities, including hunting, golf and military use. Their hunting rangefinders are available in a few styles, including monocular and binoculars that use either reticles or lasers for determining distances.
Vortex rangefinder pros
Vortex rangefinders offer excellent magnification, with most models amplifying vision by seven times. They also feature several ranging and target modes, with the most popular being line of sight range, pan and scan distance reader and a standard mode that provides the scope of the target with the strongest range result.
Vortex rangefinder cons
You’d be hard-pressed to find many flaws with Vortex rangefinders. However, several are expensive due to high-end features. It might be worth the money if you plan to use it for multiple purposes, but you may want to look elsewhere for strictly golf use. Still, there are some cheaper models you can consider.
Best Vortex rangefinder
Vortex Optics Razor HD 4000 Laser Rangefinder
This rangefinder has a 25-millimeter lens and offers seven times magnification for crystal-clear vision. It has four target modes, two range modes and a scanning feature that provides distances while panning over a landscape. Additionally, it works great in adverse weather conditions, providing accurate readings in foggy or rainy weather. Sold by Amazon
Vortex Ranger 1800 Rangefinder
This rangefinder has a 1,800-yard range and features a Horizontal Component Distance mode for accurate slope and angled distance readings. It has a multicolored lens for better adjustment in different lighting environments and, thanks to a secure O-ring seal, offers waterproof protection. Sold by Dick’s Sporting Goods
Vortex Optics Impact 1000 Rangefinder
This rangefinder is one of the most affordable, but it boasts angle compensation and works for up to 1,000 yards out. It has a convenient line-of-sight mode for measuring long distances and high-angle shots with optimal precision. It offers six times magnification and multicoated optic lenses for better readings in different lighting situations. Sold by Amazon
Should you get a Bushnell or Vortex rangefinder?
Both brands offer high-end products, but it really depends on how you intend to use your rangefinder and which features you find necessary or helpful. In terms of price, models that offer longer-distance readings and have an additional range and target modes are usually more expensive across both brands.
If you’re an avid golfer, you can go with either brand. However, it’s worth noting that Bushnell’s rangefinders have features focused on golf play and performance, so it’s arguably the better choice for golfers. Vortex rangefinders are suitable for both golfers and hunters, but none of them have any golf-specific features.
A Vortex rangefinder offers more diverse functionality for multipurpose use. However, a Bushnell rangefinder is your best bet if you want a tool with a streamlined approach for an enhanced golf experience.

Family of boy who fell off ride files wrongful death lawsuit against Florida amusement park
Tyre Sampson, 14, died last month at ICON Park in Orlando; family attorney Ben Crump said the defendants "showed negligence in a multitude of ways.”
The family of Tyre Sampson, the 14-year-old boy who died last month after falling from an Orlando amusement park ride, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit accusing the park, the attraction’s operator, manufacturer and others for negligence.
According to NBC News, Yarnell Sampson and Nekia Dodd, Sampson’s father and mother, are named as the plaintiffs in a 65-page lawsuit filed Monday, one week after the Florida Commission of Agriculture and Consumer Services concluded in a report that the operator of the Free Fall drop tower at ICON Park manually changed the sensor on specific ride seats, an action “resulting in it being unsafe,” The Orlando Sentinel reported.
“Tyre was … an honor-roll student and football player,” the lawsuit stated. “Despite his prowess on the football field, he was known as a kind-hearted person who cared about others. Tyre had a long and prosperous life in front of him that was cut short by this tragic event.”
The teenager was in Florida from the St. Louis, Missouri area for a trip with his football team.
The suit alleges that the ride was “unreasonably dangerous,” according to USA Today, and also asserts that the defendants “owed a duty to its customers, including Plaintiffs’ decedent, TYRE SAMPSON, to exercise reasonable care in operating, managing, maintaining, designing, inspecting, constructing, testing, fixing, and/or controlling the amusement park rides located on its premises, including the subject Free Fall amusement park ride.”
The ICON Park attraction has been closed indefinitely.
As previously reported by theGrio, Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried found after an investigation by an outside engineering firm that sensors were manually changed on at least two Free Fall seats, which allowed harnesses on certain seats to open to “almost double” the normal range. The ride had safety harnesses, but not seatbelts, and the report points out that other similar rides have both.
Sampson, at nearly 340 pounds, was in one of the maladjusted seats.
“These mis-adjustments allowed the safety lights to illuminate and properly satisfy the ride’s electronic safety mechanisms that allowed the ride to operate, even though Mr. Sampson was not properly secured in the seat,” Fried said in an April 18 news conference.
“The defendants in Tyre’s case showed negligence in a multitude of ways,” Sampson family attorney Ben Crump said in a statement. “One of the most glaring examples was failing to provide a $22 seatbelt on a ride that cost several million dollars to construct.”
Along with ICON Park, Funtime Handels GmbH and Gerstlauer Amusement Rides GMBH, the Austria-based firm that designed and manufactured the Free Fall, plus Orlando Eagle Drop Slingshot LLC, its owner, are also named in the lawsuit.

A former top security executive at eBay Inc. has pleaded guilty to his role in a campaign to harass and intimidate a Massachusetts couple who published an online newsletter he perceived as critical of the company.
James Baugh, 47, of San Jose, California — eBay’s former senior director of safety and security — admitted Monday in federal court in Boston to nine charges in connection with the campaign that involved disturbing deliveries — among them, live insects, a bloody pig face mask and a book on surviving the loss of a spouse — to the victims’ home, federal prosecutors said.
The intimidation started when senior executives at eBay became frustrated with the newsletter’s tone and content, according to federal documents.
The harassment campaign also included online posts inviting the public for sexual encounters at the victims’ home, and a trip to the Boston area to spy on the victims with the intention of installing a GPS device in their vehicle, federal authorities said.
The couple from Natick spotted the surveillance and contacted local police. After learning of police involvement, Baugh lied to investigators, deleted digital evidence and falsified records, authorities said.
A voicemail was left Tuesday with Baugh’s attorney.
Baugh was one of seven eBay employees or contractors charged in the harassment scheme that ran from August 2019 until August 2020. He is the sixth to plead guilty. One has pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial. San Jose-based eBay has previously said they were fired.
Baugh faces decades in prison at sentencing scheduled for Sept. 22, if he receives the maximum sentence.
The Massachusetts couple, Ina and David Steiner, who publish the newsletter EcommerceBytes, sued eBay and several employees including former CEO Devin Wenig last summer over what they described as a conspiracy to “intimidate, threaten to kill, torture, terrorize, stalk and silence them” in order to “stifle their reporting on eBay.”
The lawsuit alleges the employees were “carrying out the directives of Wenig” and another executive. Wenig was not criminally charged, has denied any knowledge of the harassment campaign, and his lawyers have asked that the Steiners’ claims against him be dismissed.
He stepped down as CEO of eBay in September 2019.
The lawsuit has been stayed as the sides negotiate a settlement, according to court records.
The Silicon Valley giant has apologized to the couple and said that it fully cooperated with the law enforcement investigation. | https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/national-international/ex-ebay-exec-pleads-guilty-to-role-in-cyberstalking-campaign/2770588/ | 2022-04-26T19:52:31Z | https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/national-international/ex-ebay-exec-pleads-guilty-to-role-in-cyberstalking-campaign/2770588/ | true | 25 |

Female soccer players in Italy allowed to turn professional
ROME (AP) — Female soccer players in Italy will finally be able to turn professional next season after years of amateur-only status that limited their salaries. The Italian Soccer Federation’s executive board approved new regulations on Tuesday that open the way for a women’s professional era starting July 1. Federation president Gabriele Gravina says it’s “a big day,” adding that “we’re the first federation in Italy to put this change into effect.” Italian law had limited female players to amateur status. That meant that they couldn’t earn more than 30,000 euros ($32,000) per year before taxes. | https://kion546.com/sports/ap-national-sports/2022/04/26/female-soccer-players-in-italy-allowed-to-turn-professional/ | 2022-04-26T19:55:16Z | https://kion546.com/sports/ap-national-sports/2022/04/26/female-soccer-players-in-italy-allowed-to-turn-professional/ | false | null |
