SPRINGFIELD – Sometimes a team just needs a spark – even while holding a lead.
That’s exactly what Springfield got in its Class 2A playoff opener against Pickering as Will Taylor stole home with two out in the fifth inning to put the Bulldogs ahead 3-1 in a game they eventually won, 3-2 Monday at Bulldog Park.
“Coach Boog (Dugas) has complete control of the offense,” Springfield coach Chris Blanchard said. “He made that great call. It was a momentum-shifting call. It was the game-winning call essentially, but he did it with the right guy, Will Taylor. I can’t say enough great things about him. He’s a great baseball player. He lives life the right way, so for him to be that guy to do it, I’m proud of Will. I’m proud it was him. I’m happy it was him. If any kid deserved to steal home and for that to be the game-winning run, I’m glad it happened to him. Coach (Thomas) Simoneaux at BRCC is going to love him at BRCC for those aspects, and I’m glad he’s on our side.”
The No. 2 Bulldogs host No. 15 Fisher in a three-game series this weekend. Fisher defeated No. 18 Vinton, 14-6.
The Bulldogs led 2-1 going into the fifth when Taylor reached on an error at first base to lead off the inning. Will Sanders followed with a single past second and stole second.
Red Devils relief pitcher Jayce Donaldson struck out Blake Lobell swinging and got Sladen Lyles to pop out to third base to bring Jayden Teague to the plate.
Teague took a strike, and Sanders broke from third, stealing home while putting the Bulldogs ahead 3-2 before Teague flied out to center field to end the inning.
“I looked at coach, and he was like, ‘If you want it’. Of course, I took it,” Taylor said after going 1-for-3 with two runs. “Of course, I wanted to take home, so he gave JT (Teague) the take, and I did my thing. It’s like insurance. Tonight, later in the game, it loosens everybody up. Our pitchers, in the seventh inning, they only need three outs. They can give up a run if they want. All they’ve got to do is fill it (strike zone) up.”
“Coach Boog made a great call,” Blanchard said. “Will executed it to perfection, and Jayden Teague did a great job of doing what he was supposed to do and take the pitch. It’s just one of those things that we work on. It’s the little things that people wonder why we work on some things more than others, but something like that’s a big momentum swing that Coach Boog called at the exact right time, and Will executed it, and it ended up being the game-winning run, so I’m glad they did it.”
Teague retired Pickering in order in the top of the sixth, and Kyle Ridgedell drew a two-out walk in the bottom of the inning, but the Bulldogs were unable to score.
Blake Lobell relieved Teague in the top of the seventh and gave up a leadoff walk to Buck O’Banion. The Red Devils’ courtesy runner moved to second on a wild pitch, and Lobell struck out Landry Holt before Gage Miller singled up the middle, cutting the lead to 3-2.
Lobell struck out Mason Ashew and Brandon Green to end the game.
Lobell struck out three while giving up a walk and a hit in an inning of relief.
“It was two-fold,” Blanchard said of bringing Lobell on in relief. “One, they haven’t seen Blake’s fastball yet, so it’s a little bit different type of pitches. They all saw Jayden’s stuff the first couple times, so (they) were used to it. We needed him (Lobell) to pitch in a big-game atmosphere. Nothing’s more big than a 3-2 home playoff game, and he came in and he shut the door. That’s good to see for later on if we can make it later on, but we just wanted to put him in that situation.”
Teague set the tone for his night, striking out the side in the first inning. He finished with eight strikeouts while giving up two hits and walking one in six innings.
“He did a phenomenal job,” Blanchard said of Teague. “He did everything that we ask a pitcher to do in a game. He came out hot. He came out ready. He shut them down.”
Said Teague of the fast start: “To come out in a playoff game start, the adrenaline’s pumping, so you’ve automatically got that extra boost of confidence. I was just able to pound the zone and let my defense work.”
The Bulldogs got the game’s first run in the bottom of the first as Taylor led off with a single over second base, and Will Sanders followed with a walk. Lobell grounded into a fielder’s choice at second, then stole second.
Pickering starter Kaleb Hogan struck out Sladen Lyles, but a throwing error by O’Banion on an attempted pickoff play at third allowed Sanders to score for a 1-0 lead.
“We kind of had a slow start at the plate, and I think that finally kind of woke us up a little bit and got us going,” Lobell said noting the teams put in some work pulling the tarp and getting the field ready after a rain delay of more than two hours before the contest got under way.
The Red Devils tied the game in the top of the second when O’Banion led off with a double past third. Holt grounded to second to move the runner over, and Miller’s chopper to third made the score 1-1.
Teague struck out Ashew to end the inning.
“They came out ready to play,” Blanchard said of Pickering. “They play the Rosepines, the Kinders, the DeQuincys, so they’re ready for baseball. They know what baseball looks like. They play in the best district in the state in 2A, so they were ready to play. I thought they were going to be ready to play. I never doubted that they would be ready to play, and they played well. We just happened to make one or two more plays than them. That’s why we won tonight.”
Springfield took the lead in the bottom of the third as Ethan Anthony led off with a single to right field but made the second out of the inning at second when Sanders reached on a fielder’s choice on a fly ball to center field.
Lobell followed with a triple to left field, making the score 2-1.
After Pickering was retired in order in the fourth, Springfield missed a scoring opportunity in the bottom of the inning after Jayden Morris got a one-out single to left and Owen Hodges and Ridgedell walked to load the bases.
Anthony popped out to first base, and Ridgedell was doubled up to end the inning.
“We should have scratched across a few,” Blanchard said of the inning. “We needed a little bit more competitive at-bats. In the three parts of baseball, we have to do the third part a little better in those situations, but it is what it is. Those guys made quality pitches. They got a line-drive double play right here at first base. It’s just baseball. Sometimes it works out. Sometimes it doesn’t. I’m just thankful that it worked out tonight for us.”
Pickering stranded two in the top of the fifth inning.
Sanders was 1-for-2 with a run, Lobell went 1-for-3 with an RBI and Morris and Anthony each went 1-for-3 as the Bulldogs had five hits.
Hagan gave up four hits, two runs, three walks and struck out three for the Red Devils, while Donaldson gave up a hits, a walk and struck out one in two innings of relief.
“It helps us to just learn from it and learn to never give up,” Teague said of playing in a close game in the first round of the playoffs. “You never know when they’re coming back.” | https://www.livingstonparishnews.com/sports/baseball-taylors-steal-of-home-teagues-pitching-spark-springfield-over-pickering/article_b7d44b3c-c54c-11ec-86c6-8bec379dae77.html | 2022-04-26T22:37:18Z | https://www.livingstonparishnews.com/sports/baseball-taylors-steal-of-home-teagues-pitching-spark-springfield-over-pickering/article_b7d44b3c-c54c-11ec-86c6-8bec379dae77.html | true | 1 |

North Bay police board considering second office
Article content
The North Bay Police Service is considering a second location in the city’s downtown.

Article content
It was one of the suggestions considered in the police service’s five-year strategic plan as a result of community surveys.
Seventy-two per cent of respondents said they would like to see an increase in patrol cruisers and 44 per cent would like to see increased patrols in the downtown core.
The North Bay Police Service conducted a community consultation survey through August and September, 2021, with the help of Oraclepoll Research.
Police said it allowed the service to measure the attitude of the public on issues related to crime, public safety, and policing.
Police Chief Scott Tod was asked by the local media following Tuesday’s monthly board meeting about the option of a second police office in the city’s downtown.
“I believe we’re a downtown police service. We’re six blocks north of Main Street. For most cities and urban areas that is downtown, but yet we’ve heard loud and clear through the consultation process people would like to see a presence in the downtown area.”
He said the second location could be somewhere else in the city, “doesn’t mean it will be downtown.”
Tod said the idea of an “extended police office” has been adopted by many police services to provide services as a result of a demand for services from the public.
“I’m not going to say it was unsuccessful, however the right time came where it was no longer feasible. For now it might be something we temporarily have to do for the next few years.”
Tod said a lot of community partners such as Hands The Family Help Network, the North Bay Indigenous Friendship Centre and the Children’s Aid Society of the District of Nipissing and Parry Sound talk about the need for police to be closer to the community. | https://www.nugget.ca/news/north-bay-police-board-considering-second-office | 2022-04-26T22:43:09Z | https://www.nugget.ca/news/north-bay-police-board-considering-second-office | false | 1 |
Kyiv pulls down Soviet-era monument symbolizing Russian-Ukrainian friendship
Article content
A Soviet-era monument symbolizing friendship between Russia and Ukraine was dismantled in Kyiv on Tuesday, a response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, according to the city’s mayor.
The statue depicted a Ukrainian and Russian worker on a plinth, holding aloft together a Soviet order of friendship. The statue was located underneath the ‘People’s Friendship Arch’, erected in 1982 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Soviet Union.
“This monument… symbolized friendship between Ukrainian and Russian nations. We now see what this ‘friendship’ is – destruction of Ukrainian cities, ruining the lives of Ukrainians, killing tens of thousands of peaceful people. I am convinced such a monument has an entirely different meaning now,” Kyiv Mayor Vitaly Klitschko said.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, launched on Feb. 24, has left thousands dead or injured, reduced towns and cities to rubble, and forced more than 5 million people to flee abroad.
Moscow calls its actions a “special operation” to disarm Ukraine and protect it from fascists.
Ukraine and the West call this a false pretext for an unprovoked war to seize territory in a move that has sparked fears of wider conflict in Europe unseen since World War Two.
As the monument began to fall, a crowd of people applauded, chanting, “Glory to Ukraine, glory to the heroes, glory to the nation Ukraine.” (Writing by Mark Porter, Editing by Rosalba O’Brien) | https://nationalpost.com/pmn/news-pmn/kyiv-pulls-down-soviet-era-monument-symbolizing-russian-ukrainian-friendship | 2022-04-26T22:44:06Z | https://nationalpost.com/pmn/news-pmn/kyiv-pulls-down-soviet-era-monument-symbolizing-russian-ukrainian-friendship | false | 7 |
Exeter City vs Barrow. Sky Bet League Two.
St James ParkAttendance7,860.
Report and free match highlights as Exeter City secure automatic promotion to Sky Bet League One; Kieran Phillips and Matt Jay on scoresheet for Grecians; Cameron Dawson had given visitors lead with an own goal
Tuesday 26 April 2022 23:13, UK
Exeter have secured automatic promotion to Sky Bet League One after a 2-1 win against Barrow at St James Park.
Matt Taylor's men knew only a win would secure a safe passage to the third tier for the first time since the 2011/12 campaign, and thanks to goals from Kieran Phillips and Matt Jay - which came after Cameron Dawson's 11th-minute own goal - they have done just that.
Avoiding the play-off lottery will come as a great relief to Grecians fans, who have seen their side lose in three of the last five League Two play-off finals.
Barrow were intent on spoiling the party and, after turning Exeter around so they'd be shooting towards a rammed Big Bank in the first half, they then opened the scoring on 12 minutes.
A long throw caused havoc in the Exeter penalty box, hit the far post and then went into the net off Exeter goalkeeper Dawson.
Exeter responded well with Timothee Dieng and Jack Sparkes seeing efforts deflect wide and Jay firing straight at Paul Farman.
Phillips missed a great chance when, after a lovely move, he shot against the top of the crossbar from eight yards.
But he made amends on 35 minutes when he picked the ball up inside his own half and ran at the Barrow defence. He tried his luck from 25 yards and the ball took a deflection before creeping in at Furman's near post.
Dawson made a superb save with his feet to deny Remeao Hutton before Jay fired Exeter in front on 78 minutes.
He took down a deep cross with one touch and smashed the ball into the bottom corner to send a packed house into delirium - and Exeter into League One.
Exeter boss Matt Taylor: "It was an incredible night for the club. It was a strange game and to fall behind to a freakish goal in that manner - and then score a deflected one ourselves - summed up the type of game it was really. We just had to grind out a performance that kept level in relation to the context of the game and fortunately, that chance has fallen to MJ, our captain, our academy product, a constant threat in terms of his goals and he took it so well and we saw the game out.
"I can't remember a chance for either side in the second half - barely a chance in the first half. It just shows where the game was played, it was all in the middle of the pitch and it was difficult to gain control and I can't remember any clear-cut chances. As the second half went on it was just a battle, a war of attrition and we had to be ready for our moment and MJ was.
"As soon as that goal went in, it felt like that was it because neither side was creating chances. We had to withstand a few long balls, but we were comfortable after that." | https://www.skysports.com/football/exeter-city-vs-barrow/report/448827 | 2022-04-26T22:47:08Z | https://www.skysports.com/football/exeter-city-vs-barrow/report/448827 | true | 1 |

Canadian savers are using self-directed RRSPs to create pensions for their retirement. The recent pullback in the TSX Index is giving investors a chance to buy some top stocks at reasonable prices.
BCE
BCE (TSX:BCE)(NYSE:BCE) trades near $71 per share at the time of writing compared to the recent high around $74. Investors who buy the shares at the current price can pick up a solid 5.2% dividend yield.
BCE is a good defensive stock to add to the portfolio if you think more volatility is on the way for the broader market. BCE isn’t immune to a TSX pullback, but the stock should hold up better than some of the commodity plays.
BCE provides essential communications services that people and businesses need, regardless of the state of the economy. The company also has the power to raise prices at will, so it can pass through higher expenses due to inflation. This doesn’t make subscribers to its services very happy, but it is good news for shareholders.
BCE is investing for the future. The company expects to connect another 900,000 customers this year to fibre optic lines that run right to the premises. BCE is also expanding its 5G network after spending $2 billion last year on new 3,500 MHz spectrum.
Free cash flow is expected to increase by 2-10% in 2022. That should support another 5% dividend increase in 2023. BCE has raised the distribution by at least 5% for 14 consecutive years.
Royal Bank
Royal Bank (TSX:RY)(NYSE:RY) trades for $130 per share at the time of writing compared to the 2022 high near $150. At the current level, shares are priced at a reasonable 11.6 times trailing 12-month earnings, and the dividend provides a 3.7% yield.
Royal Bank has a balanced revenue stream that comes from personal banking, commercial banking, wealth management, capital markets, investor and treasury services, and insurance. A US$5 billion acquisition in the United States in 2015 increased Royal Bank’s presence in the commercial and private banking segment in the country. Royal Bank recently announced a $2.6 billion deal to boost the wealth management presence in the United Kingdom. Additional deals could be on the way, as the bank uses its large excess cash position to drive growth.
Royal Bank is also returning more cash to investors through dividend increases and share buybacks. The board raised the payout by 11% for fiscal 2022, and another large increase is likely on the way for next year.
Royal Bank is very profitable, and as one of the 10 largest banks in the world by market capitalization, it has the financial firepower to invest in digital solutions to ensure it remains competitive in a rapidly changing industry.
The bottom line on top RRSP stocks
BCE and Royal Bank are top players in their industries and have generated attractive total returns for investors for decades. If you have some cash to put to work, these stocks deserve to be on your radar. | https://www.fool.ca/2022/04/26/2-top-stock-picks-for-rrsp-investors/ | 2022-04-26T22:57:30Z | https://www.fool.ca/2022/04/26/2-top-stock-picks-for-rrsp-investors/ | false | 1 |
Kernwerk® Functional Training App now available in the UK & US
The App is particularly popular with athletes in functional training. Since April 15, the app is officially available in the US and the UK.
We don't want you looking for shortcuts. We want to help you get there faster. We are very excited to now work with athletes in other parts of the world and grow our community”
COLOGNE, NORTHRHINE-WESTPHALIA, GERMANY, April 26, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Full functional training – without limits.— Florian Petri
Kernwerk® is based on the premise that real functional training can only be effective if you have the opportunity to train at any time and in any place - whether in the gym, on a business trip or outdoors. The motto is: Tell your coach which equipment (kettlebells, dumbbells, barbell, etc.) and which possibilities (space for running, pull-up bar, gymnastic rings, etc.) you have available right now, and the AI generates the individually suitable workout based on today's "Daily Workout". In addition to the available equipment and the local possibilities, the personal fitness level is also considered when creating the workout.
Combination of real trainers and AI.
The Kernwerk® app offers a globally unique combination of real trainers and a very special AI. This allows all athletes at any fitness level and at any training location to train with limitless flexibility and maximum effectiveness, with or without equipment. What makes it special are the following two elements:
(1) Our professional team of coaches & sports scientists around head coach Björn Müller creates a new and unique "Daily Workout" for every day. Each Daily Workout is only available on this one calendar day. This is how we combine professional training planning with maximum variety in training and prevent boredom.
(2) The AI in our app customizes the Daily Workout before each workout to each athlete's personal performance, equipment, and local capabilities: Before each workout, they can tell "live" what options are available to them at the time. Common equipment combinations can be saved in equipment profiles (e.g. "at home" or "gym"). Through feedback after each workout, our AI gets to know the fitness level of the users better and better and adapts the Daily Workouts to the individual strengths and weaknesses.
We pick up everyone where they are at. No matter if beginner, advanced or competitive athlete. All athletes tell us how many times a week they can train, and we create the optimal workout for them for each day. It doesn't matter on which days you train. We make sure that every training session is the best for the athletes and that they achieve maximum effects.
Through the Daily Workout principle, all members of our community train together on each training day - even though everyone is doing their workout at their own personal level. We motivate each other, we train on our terms, and we get a little better together every day. No excuses. No limits.

CEO Florian Petri emphasizes how seriously the 10-person team takes fitness:

We don't want you looking for shortcuts. We want to help you get there faster. We are very excited to now work with athletes in other parts of the world and grow our community“.

A $500,000 reward is being offered to solve the “heartbreaking mystery” of a NSW woman’s suspicious disappearance almost 25 years ago.
Marion Barter was last seen at a bus depot on Scarborough Street, near Railway Street, at Southport, Queensland, on June 22, 1997.

The case is the subject of the hit 7NEWS podcast The Lady Vanishes.
Weeks before she disappeared, the 51-year-old was seen by a family member leaving a service station on Ferry Road, Southport, in a red Honda Civic Breeze with a tall male passenger.
Inquiries revealed Barter left Australia for the United Kingdom on June 22, 1997, under the name Florabella Natalia Marion Remakel, which she had officially changed to a month earlier.
Her outgoing passenger card stated that she was divorced and intended to live in Luxembourg.
Investigators believe Barter returned to Australia just over a month later - on August 2 - with an incoming passenger card stating she was married and living in Luxembourg.
Inquiries also revealed that following her disappearance, someone accessed her bank account.
Family members reported Barter missing to police at Byron Bay in October 1997.
A coronial inquest began in Sydney in June and will continue at Byron Bay this week.
Homicide Squad Detective Inspector Nigel Warren said a reward for information that leads to the conviction of anyone responsible for Barter’s disappearance had been increased to $500,000.
“We are still working to establish Barter’s movements and whereabouts upon returning to Australia in late July or early August 1997 and wish to speak with anyone close to her during that time,” Warren said on Wednesday.
Barter’s daughter, Sally Leydon, encouraged anyone with information to come forward.
“My mother’s behaviour before leaving Australia was out of character,” she said in a statement.
“She also missed my brother’s birthday - something I know she would never do.
“Something untoward was happening in her life and that thing still remains a heartbreaking mystery for my family today.”

Tackling the second amalgamated amendment package of this week's budget debate, Massachusetts representatives added about $27.26 million in new spending targeted towards public safety and the court system to the House's fiscal year 2023 budget plan Tuesday afternoon.
In addition to the new spending, the amendment adopted on a 155-0 vote also outlaws child marriage in Massachusetts, an occurrence that lawmakers and advocates have been drawing attention to for years on Beacon Hill. Current law allows anyone under the age of 18 to get married with parental consent, but lawmakers said that minors who marry cannot always access the legal and social services they would need to end a marriage. The Senate voted in 2019 to ban child marriages, but it did not emerge in the House.
"This consolidated amendment will prospectively end the practice of marrying young girls off here in Massachusetts and it will also provide relief to those minors currently in marriages by empowering them to seek annulments and divorce on their own," Rep. Michael Day, House chairman of the Judiciary Committee, said. "The law must evolve with society, and today we take a significant step forward in that respect."
Minority Leader Brad Jones said Massachusetts would be the seventh state to ban child marriage.
The amendment, which dispensed with more than 120 amendments categorized as public safety and another 28 amendments labeled as judiciary, pumps up the amount dedicated towards local public safety projects and grant programs from $100,000 to $1,447,000.
That money is intended for things like the procurement of cardiac defibrillators in North Attleborough ($25,000), the purchase of a K-9 cruiser and related equipment in Sturbridge ($50,000), the purchase and installation of security cameras around the public safety building in Saugus ($60,000) the replacement of police patrol and rescue boat motors in Plymouth ($47,000), and the construction of a concession stand, equipment storage and ADA-compliant bathrooms at Shedd Park in Lowell ($50,000).
The House amendment similarly dedicates significant funding to the state's fire departments. Instead of the $100,000 written into the underlying budget bill, the amendment would send $2,763,250 to fire departments around the state for things like roof repairs at firehouses in Taunton ($50,000), the restoration of Dedham's 1953 fire engine ($35,000) and a fire breathing apparatus for Melrose ($60,000).
The amendment included an additional $17.27 million for Trial Court judge salaries, a roughly $300,000 increase for the operation of the Supreme Judicial Court and its justices' salaries, and an extra $704,000 for Appeals Court justice salaries. Rep. Nick Boldyga of Southwick tried unsuccessfully to strip the amendment bundle of the judicial pay raises. | https://www.nepm.org/regional-news/2022-04-26/massachusetts-house-budget-adds-child-marriage-ban-funding-for-public-safety | 2022-04-26T23:13:09Z | https://www.nepm.org/regional-news/2022-04-26/massachusetts-house-budget-adds-child-marriage-ban-funding-for-public-safety | true | 2 |

Pacira (PCRX) to Report Q1 Results: Wall Street Expects Earnings Growth
The market expects Pacira (PCRX) to deliver a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended March 2022. This widely-known consensus outlook is important in assessing the company's earnings picture, but a powerful factor that might influence its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.
The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.
While the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call, it's worth handicapping the probability of a positive EPS surprise.
Zacks Consensus Estimate
This specialty drugmaker is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.74 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +39.6%.
Revenues are expected to be $157.48 million, up 32.3% from the year-ago quarter.
Estimate Revisions Trend
The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 3.58% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.
Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change.
Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Earnings Whisper
Estimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. This insight is at the core of our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction).
The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.
Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.
A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.
Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).
How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Pacira?
For Pacira, the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +7.05%.
On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #3.
So, this combination indicates that Pacira will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate.
Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?
Analysts often consider to what extent a company has been able to match consensus estimates in the past while calculating their estimates for its future earnings. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.
For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Pacira would post earnings of $0.83 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.97, delivering a surprise of +16.87%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates three times.
Bottom Line
An earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.
That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.
Pacira appears a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.
Stay on top of upcoming earnings announcements with the Zacks Earnings Calendar.
Bitcoin, Like the Internet Itself, Could Change Everything
Blockchain and cryptocurrency has sparked one of the most exciting discussion topics of a generation. Some call it the “Internet of Money” and predict it could change the way money works forever. If true, it could do to banks what Netflix did to Blockbuster and Amazon did to Sears. Experts agree we’re still in the early stages of this technology, and as it grows, it will create several investing opportunities.
Zacks’ has just revealed 3 companies that can help investors capitalize on the explosive profit potential of Bitcoin and the other cryptocurrencies with significantly less volatility than buying them directly.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — In her 9th-grade essay, Yeardley Love wrote about what she wanted to do with her life: to attend the University of Virginia, to play lacrosse there, to become a lawyer and to maintain her close relationship with her family.
Many of her dreams came true, but ended abruptly and violently when she was brutally beaten by her boyfriend, a lawyer for Love's family told a jury Tuesday in the civil trial of the man convicted in her killing.
George Huguely V was convicted of second-degree murder and is serving a 23-year prison sentence in Love's slaying. Yeardley and Hugely both played lacrosse at UVA and were weeks away from graduation when Yeardley was found dead in her off-campus apartment in 2010.
A wrongful death lawsuit brought by Love's mother, Sharon Love, seeks to hold him civilly liable for her daughter's death. The lawsuit is seeking $29.5 million in compensatory damages and $1 million in punitive damages.
As the civil trial got underway, Paul Bekman, a lawyer for Love's family, showed the jury happy photos of Love with her mother and sister. He described a kind, thoughtful and caring young woman who played lacrosse, joined a sorority and kept up with a rigorous academic schedule at UVA while making sure to speak with her family almost every day.
Bekman told the jury that Love and Huguely had dated for two years, but had a “rocky relationship” that was marred by Huguely's excessive drinking. He said fellow students will testify about earlier violent episodes when Huguely was drunk, including one that happened about a month or two before Yeardley was killed, when visiting lacrosse players from North Carolina heard Love yell, “Help, I can't breathe,” and walked in to Huguely's bedroom to find Huguely with his “hands around her neck.”
Bekman showed the jury graphic crime scene photos of Love as she lay dead on her bedroom floor, with her right eye bashed in, her face bloody, and marks on her shoulder and neck. Love's mother and sister left the courtroom just before the photos were shown and cried softly during several other portions of the opening statements.
A medical examiner determined that Love died from blunt-force injuries to her head.
“She died as a result of a vicious and brutal beating,” Bekman said.
Huguely's attorney, Matthew Green, told jurors that Huguely admits he assaulted Love and that her family is entitled to compensatory damages in an amount to be determined by the jury. But he said the defense will argue that Huguely's actions did not amount to the “willful and wanton” conduct that is required to award punitive damages. In fact, Green said, Huguely did not intend to cause Love's death.
Green urged the jury to focus on the approximately eight to 10 minutes Huguely spent in Love's apartment the night she was killed. He said Huguely was a “party animal” who began drinking right after the UVA men's lacrosse team played its final game on May 1, 2010. Huguely's family was in town for “senior day,” and he spent the next 30 hours consuming 45 to 50 drinks, using a “conservative estimate,” Green said.
The following day, Love and Huguely exchanged angry, “immature emails,” but had patched things up by that night and were seen on video holding hands as they spent time with Huguely's family at a bar, Green said. Then, about 11:45 p.m., a drunken Huguely went to Love's apartment, where he kicked in her bedroom door.
During questioning by police early the next morning, Huguely said he only went to Love's apartment to talk to her, but their argument quickly turned physical. Huguely said Love's head hit the wall and they wrestled on the floor, but that when he left, she only had a bloody nose. Her roommates found her dead about two hours later.
Green said Love's visible injuries were limited to the right side of her face, which he said is “consistent with a single impact, some kind of a fall where her face impacts the floor.”
Green said that when police told Huguely that Love was dead, his videotaped interview shows that “he just doesn't believe it.”
“It's clear he had no understanding a fatal event had happened,” Green said.
Green said the jury in Huguely's criminal trial rejected a first-degree murder charge and instead found him guilty of second-degree murder. He is about halfway through his 23-year prison sentence.
“Justice has been done,” Green said.
The lawsuit was initially filed in 2012, but was later voluntarily dismissed and then refiled in 2018. | https://www.union-bulletin.com/seattle_times/uva-lacrosse-players-had-rocky-relationship-before-killing/article_55ed6599-a126-5ce3-8db7-c640638d1b73.html | 2022-04-26T23:21:57Z | https://www.union-bulletin.com/seattle_times/uva-lacrosse-players-had-rocky-relationship-before-killing/article_55ed6599-a126-5ce3-8db7-c640638d1b73.html | false | 17 |
ST. IGNACE, Mich. - Without binoculars it would be tough to see from shore the large chunks and spears of ice that sometimes plummet from the towers and cables of the Mackinac Bridge.
A new video released by the Mackinac Bridge Authority (MBA) and the Michigan Department of Transportation includes footage and still images of kitchen table-sized sheets and 20-foot-long spears of ice shattering on the bridge deck to help explain why the bridge must be closed when ice is falling.
No injuries have been reported due to falling ice on the Mackinac Bridge, though the potential is real. MBA Maintenance Supervisor Joe Shampine has been in a vehicle struck by falling ice, so he’s seen up close the damage it can do.
“Seeing all these big chunks come down… it could hurt somebody really bad, if not kill,” Shampine said. “We see it all the time. It comes down and it’ll crush you. It’ll kill you.”
That hazard is what prompts the authority to close the bridge while ice is falling, most dangerous when it falls from 300 feet up near the top of the towers and cables.
“In the case of falling ice, it is so dangerous, that it’s cut and dried that we have to close the bridge,” MBA Bridge Director Kim Nowack said. “We know it’s a big inconvenience and we absolutely hate to close the bridge. We only do it in extreme circumstances.”
Mackinac County 911, using its RAVE Alert System, sends updates and information from the MBA to users’ cell phones any time the bridge has a partial or full closure due to weather or other conditions. Messages also will be sent when a full closure is reduced to a partial closure or when the bridge reopens to all traffic. To sign up, text “MacBridge” to 67283.
Details and updates are also available around the clock at www.MackinacBridge.org/Conditions.
Updates are posted on the Mackinac Bridge’s Twitter page, @MackinacBridge, as well as on freeway dynamic message signs.
Fast facts:
- When ice falls from the bridge’s towers and cables, the Mackinac Bridge Authority closes the bridge to traffic for safety.
- Ice chunks, sheets and spears that fall hundreds of feet from the bridge’s towers and cables have damaged vehicles and have the potential to injure or kill vehicle occupants.
- The Mackinac Bridge has closed due to falling ice 28 times since 1995, for an average duration of roughly five hours per closure.

Seyyed Ruhollah Latifi said that out of the total export of 135,322 tons of pistachios in the previous Iranian year of 1400 (March 21 2021-2022), the share of unshelled pistachios (fresh and unprocessed pistachio) was 115,557 tons valued at $ 696,043,124.
He added that the top five countries to buy peeled pistachios for export were China with $ 199 million, India with $ 85 million, Russia with $ 53 million, Iraq with $ 50 million and Kyrgyzstan with $ 45 million, respectively.
Latifi added that the exports of "shelled pistachios" were more than 19,336 worth $215,879, 022, with Germany buying $50 million, India $44 million, UAE $29 million, Iraq $25 million and Turkey $13 million as the top importers of the shelled pistachio from Iran.
The IRICA spokesman also said that due to drought and damage to domestic pistachio production last year as well as the entry of pistachios from other countries into world markets, unfortunately, the exports of pistachios in 1400 compared to the previous year of 1399 (March 21, 2020-2021) witnessed 33% reduction in both in weight and value.

Former Pakistan fast bowler Sarfraz Nawaz said he has noticed that when Shaheen Shah Afridi “bowls wrist [deliveries], his action becomes doubtful”.
Afridi, who is capable of bowling 150 kph, has developed a reputation as one of the top wicket-takers in the world.
In Pakistan’s home series against Australia, he claimed nine wickets in the three-Test series at an average of 36.44.
He followed that up with six wickets in two ODIs at an average of 17.16 before recording figures of 2-21 off his four overs in the one-off T20 International.
“I have noticed it a lot of times, when Afridi bowls wrist [deliveries], his action becomes doubtful,” Sarfraz was quoted as saying by Cricket Pakistan.
Afridi is currently representing Middlesex in the County Championship and claimed four wickets in his first game against Glamorgan, which included dismissing Australia star Marnus Labuschagne twice. | https://battingwithbimal.com/2022/04/27/his-action-becomes-doubtful-sarfraz-says-he-has-noticed-it-many-times-when-highly-rated-pakistan-youngster-is-bowling/ | 2022-04-26T23:35:06Z | https://battingwithbimal.com/2022/04/27/his-action-becomes-doubtful-sarfraz-says-he-has-noticed-it-many-times-when-highly-rated-pakistan-youngster-is-bowling/ | true | 1 |
EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. – The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is calling on Amazon to improve its severe weather emergency procedures after a tornado struck its warehouse in Edwardsville, Illinois, and killed six people.
OSHA investigators determined Amazon’s procedures meets the bare minimum for federal safety guidelines for storm sheltering. However, safety officials said Amazon should make improvements to protect its workers and contract drivers in case of future emergencies. OSHA does not have a standard for severe weather plans but offers recommendations to employers.
“Employers should re-evaluate their emergency plans for the safest shelter-in-place locations and prepare before an emergency to ensure workers know where to go and how to keep themselves safe in the event of a disaster,” said OSHA Regional Administrator William Donovan.
An EF3 tornado hit the Amazon distribution center, located just off Interstate 255, on Dec. 10, 2021. Forty-five Amazon workers were able to get out of the warehouse safely, with one airlifted to a hospital for treatment. Six people were killed when the Amazon facility collapsed.
The victims were identified as 28-year-old Deandre S. Morrow of St. Louis; 62-year-old Kevin D. Dickey of Carlyle, Illinois; 29-year-old Clayton Lynn Cope of Alton, Illinois; 34-year-old Etheria S. Hebb of St. Louis; 46-year-old Larry E. Virden of Collinsville, Illinois; and 26-year-old Austin J. McEwen of Edwardsville.
Amazon is currently is defendant in a number of lawsuits tied to the tragedy. Attorneys for the victims’ families say the e-commerce giant acted with negligence in the construction of the building, a disregard for the workers’ lives, and did not heed severe weather warnings from area meteorologists prior to the tornado.
OSHA’s hazard alert letter sent to Amazon offers the following recommendations to improve worker safety at the Edwardsville warehouse:
- Ensure all employees are provided training and participate in emergency weather drills
- Include site-specific information in severe weather emergency plans
- All audible warning devices and their locations should be clearly identified to employees and ready accessible.

NEW YORK (AP) — As the comedy “black-ish” ended its run after eight seasons with a relatively modest live audience of 2.52 million viewers, ABC is already pivoting to what it hopes is its next defining sitcom.
The “black-ish” series finale last week featured a storyline where series stars Anthony Anderson and Tracee Ellis Ross move their fictional Johnson family from the predominantly white area where they had been living to a neighborhood with more Black families.
It was the largest audience for the series since its final season debut in September, according to the Nielsen company, and certain to increase when delayed viewing is taken into account.
The series earned four Emmy Award nominations for best comedy in an era where it’s unusual for a broadcast series to be recognized.
Less than a week later, at a New York dinner held by ABC parents Walt Disney Co. on Monday to showcase its creators, a spotlight was on Quinta Brunson, creator and star of the new sitcom “Abbott Elementary.”
The series based in a Philadelphia elementary school and inspired by Brunson’s mother, a kindergarten teacher, debuted in December to strong reviews. It ended its first season on April 12 with an average of 2.9 million viewers per episode, which swelled to 8 million when a full month’s delayed viewing is counted in, Nielsen said.
Brunson said that she’s a fan of workplace and family comedies, which have been a staple of ABC’s lineup for generations.
“I think the world was really longing for that kind of feeling again — the things we got from older shows like ‘Family Ties’ and more modern shows like ‘The Office’ and ‘Parks & Rec,’” she said.
The show will be back for a second season in the fall.
CBS won the week in prime-time last week with an average of 4.5 million viewers, led by “60 Minutes,” which was the week’s top-ranked show for the sixth time this season. NBC averaged 3.01 million viewers, ABC had 2.96 million, Fox had 2 million, Univision had 1.4 million, Telemundo had 970,000 and Ion Television had 960,000.
TNT led cable networks with a prime-time average of 2.62 million viewers. Fox News Channel had 2.25 million, ESPN had 1.33 million, MSNBC had 1.09 million and HGTV had 1.03 million.
ABC’s “World News Tonight” led the evening news ratings race with an average of 7.8 million viewers. NBC’s “Nightly News” averaged 6.7 million and the “CBS Evening News” had 4.9 million.
For the week of April 18-24, the top 20 prime-time programs, their networks and viewerships:
1. “60 Minutes,” CBS, 7.6 million.
2. “FBI,” CBS, 7.51 million.

Newly infected COVID-19 patients have two treatment options that can be taken at home. But that convenience comes with a catch: The pills have to be taken as soon as possible once symptoms appear.
The challenge is getting tested, obtaining a prescription and starting the pills in a short window.
U.S. regulators authorized Pfizer’s pill, Paxlovid, and Merck’s Lagevrio late last year. In high-risk patients, both were shown to reduce the chances of hospitalization or death from COVID-19, although Pfizer’s was much more effective.
A closer look:
WHO SHOULD TAKE THESE PILLS?
The antiviral pills aren’t for everyone who gets a positive test. They are intended for those with mild or moderate COVID-19 who are more likely to become seriously ill. That includes older people and those with other health conditions like heart disease, cancer or diabetes that make them more vulnerable.
Both pills were OK’d for adults, while Paxlovid also is authorized for children ages 12 and older.
WHO SHOULDN’T TAKE THESE PILLS?
Merck’s Lagevrio is not authorized for children because it might interfere with bone growth. It also isn’t recommended for pregnant women because of the potential for birth defects.
Pfizer’s pill isn’t recommended for patients with severe kidney or liver problems. It also may not be the best option for some because it may interact with other medications.
The antiviral pills aren’t authorized for people hospitalized with COVID-19.
WHAT’S THE TREATMENT WINDOW?
The pills have to be started as soon as possible, within five days of the start of symptoms. Cough, headache, fever, the loss of taste or smell and muscle and body aches are among the more common signs. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offers a website to check your symptoms.
Dr. Cameron Wolfe, an infectious disease specialist at Duke University Hospital, advises getting a test as soon as you have symptoms of COVID-19.
“If you wait until you have started to get breathless, you have already to a large extent missed the window where these drugs will be helpful,” Wolfe said.
WHERE CAN YOU GET THE PILLS?
Pharmacies, community health centers, hospitals and urgent care centers are among the sites stocking the antiviral pills, but prescriptions must come from a doctor or other authorized health worker.
The oral treatments are currently available in about 20,000 locations around the country, but President Joe Biden’s administration expects that total to jump to around 40,000 in the next few weeks.
The administration also is working to expand the number of sites that can test patients and then provide the treatments in one visit. There are currently 2,200 of these so-called test-to-treat sites, including all 1,200 MinuteClinic locations inside CVS drugstores. Patients can find find test-to-treat locations by checking the U.S. government’s COVID.gov website.
Supplies of the pills were limited initially, but ample amounts are now available.
ARE THERE OTHER OPTIONS FOR NEW COVID-19 PATIENTS?
Yes, but it isn’t as easy to use as a pill.
In February, the Food and Drug Administration authorized a new injected drug from Eli Lilly, bebtelovimab, that targets the omicron variant with virus-fighting antibodies. Regulators cleared that drug for adults and adolescent patients with mild-to-moderate cases of COVID-19 who are at high risk of hospitalization and death.
Earlier this year, regulators revoked emergency use authorization for another Lilly treatment and drugs from Regeneron and GlaxoSmithKline because they were no longer effective against the evolving virus.
WHAT OTHER TREATMENTS MIGHT BE COMING?
Japanese drugmaker Shionogi is testing another antiviral pill.
Unlike Paxlovid, the company’s drug does not require taking a second antiviral to boost its effectiveness against COVID-19. That could reduce some of the potential drug interaction problems associated with the Paxlovid combination.
The Shionogi drug is also designed to be taken once daily for five days. That’s simpler than Paxlovid’s dosing, which must be taken twice daily for five days.
In mid-stage testing Shionogi said its drug significantly reduced COVID-19 viral levels and shedding in patients treated within five days of symptoms. The company is conducting a large global study in patients with increased risk of hospitalization or death due to age or other health issues. Early results from that study — which is being funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health — are expected by the fall.
The company has already requested approval in Japan and plans to also file applications with regulators in the U.S. and Europe.

BOSTON (AP) — Harvard University is vowing to spend $100 million to research and atone for its extensive ties with slavery, the school’s president announced Tuesday, with plans to identify and support the descendants of enslaved people who labored at the Ivy League campus.
President Lawrence Bacow announced the funding as Harvard released a new report detailing many ways the college benefited from slavery and perpetuated racial inequality.
The report, commissioned by Bacow, found that Harvard’s faculty, staff and leaders enslaved more than 70 Black and Native American people from the school’s founding in 1636 to 1783. It cautions that the figure is “almost certainly an undercount.” Using historical records, researchers were able to identify dozens of enslaved people by name, along with their connection to the university.
“Enslaved men and women served Harvard presidents and professors and fed and cared for Harvard students,” researchers found. “Moreover, throughout this period and well into the 19th century, the University and its donors benefited from extensive financial ties to slavery.”
The report says the university “should make a significant monetary commitment, and it should invest in remedies of equal or greater breadth than other universities.” But the report stops short of recommending direct financial reparations, and officials have no immediate plans for that kind of support.
Bacow said Harvard will attempt to redress its wrongs through “teaching, research and service.” He is creating a committee to implement the report’s suggestions.
Building on earlier research at Harvard, the report details how the nation’s oldest and wealthiest college profited from the slave trade throughout its early history. It invested directly in the sugar and rum industries in the Caribbean, and the cotton and railroad industries in the United States. It also depended on wealthy donors who accumulated their wealth through the slave trade and industries that relied on it.
Later, after slavery was abolished, prominent scholars continued to promote concepts that fueled ideas of white supremacy, the report says. It cites work by 19th century professor Louis Agassiz, who pushed discredited theories on “race science” and eugenics. Another scholar led a “physical education” program on campus that collected students’ physical measurements to advance eugenic theories.
In his message, Bacow called the findings “disturbing and shocking,” and he acknowledged that the school “perpetuated practices that were profoundly immoral.”
“Consequently, I believe we bear a moral responsibility to do what we can to address the persistent corrosive effects of those historical practices on individuals, on Harvard, and on our society,” he wrote.
The 130-page report included a series of recommendations that Bacow endorsed. The $100 million will be used to carry out the work, including some funding that will be available now and more to be held in an endowment. The university itself has an endowment of more than $50 billion, the largest in the nation.
The report calls on Harvard to identify the direct descendants of enslaved people and engage with them “through dialogue, programming, information sharing, relationship building, and educational support.”
“Through such efforts, these descendants can recover their histories, tell their stories and pursue empowering knowledge,” the report said.
In acknowledgement of the enslavement of Native Americans, the report also calls on Harvard to build closer ties with New England tribes. Harvard should recruit more students from tribal communities, the report says, and organize a national conference promoting research on colonialism and the enslavement of Indigenous people.
The report calls on Harvard to help address racial inequities in the United States and the Caribbean, including through expanded education programs for underserved communities. And it urges the university to build closer relationships with historically Black colleges across the country, with funding to bring students and scholars to Harvard for up to a year at a time.
Harvard joins a growing number of U.S. universities taking steps to acknowledge and make amends for their involvement with slavery.
Georgetown University in 2019 promised to raise $400,000 a year for the descendants of enslaved people sold by the school. The Princeton Theological Seminary created a $27.6 million reparative endowment. The University of Virginia established scholarships for the descendants of enslaved people.
Harvard formally began exploring its ties to slavery in 2016, when former President Drew Gilpin Faust acknowledged that the school was “directly complicit in America’s system of racial bondage.” Faust organized a committee to study the topic and had a plaque installed on campus honoring enslaved people who labored there.
Bacow commissioned the new report in 2019, building on that work.
“The Harvard that I have known, while far from perfect, has always tried to be better — to bring our lived experience ever closer to our high ideals,” Bacow wrote. “In releasing this report and committing ourselves to following through on its recommendations, we continue a long tradition of embracing the challenges before us.” | https://www.bigcountryhomepage.com/news/national-news/harvard-pledges-100-million-to-atone-for-role-in-slavery/ | 2022-04-26T23:42:38Z | https://www.bigcountryhomepage.com/news/national-news/harvard-pledges-100-million-to-atone-for-role-in-slavery/ | true | 29 |
WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – Hazardous living conditions in military homes are now the focus of a Senate investigation.
Lawmakers spent eight months looking into safety concerns and released a report on Tuesday detailing their findings. They say they discovered mistreatment of military families and mismanagement by a company with a record of bad behavior.
Captain Samuel Choe used to live on Georgia’s Fort Gordon Army Base. When his daughter developed a painful skin condition, he says their doctor pointed to the mold in their home as the cause.
“My daughter’s experience is life altering and that it will haunt her, as well as us, for the rest of our lives,” Choe said.
Senators Jon Ossoff and Ron Johnson led the senate investigation into stories like Captain Choe’s
“These men and women should expect to live in conditions that will not damage the health and safety of themselves and their family,” Johnson, R-Wis., said.
They say they found a pattern of things like mold, asbestos and water leaks in military homes managed by the company Balfour Beatty.
Balfour Beatty already plead guilty to defrauding the government for housing repairs between 2013 and 2019.
Rachel Christian with Armed Forces Housing Advocates says the company is responsible for hurting families beyond the fraud in that case.
“But it is not just the government that suffered in this case. It’s the service members and it’s their families. They are the ones being forgotten, pushed aside and made sick by a company that continues to choose profits over people,” Christian said.
After hearing from families, lawmakers turned their attention to Balfour Beatty officials. Lawmakers grilled Richard Taylor, one of the company’s facility operators, this week.
“Do our people make mistakes? Yes, they make mistakes. There’s human error in every business,” Taylor said.
Taylor argues there have only been a handful of problems among the tens of thousands of military homes that Balfour Beatty manages.
“We understand where our shortcomings are and we take action,” Taylor said.
Military families who testified say that’s not true and are demanding change. Jana Wanner is a military spouse who is among those advocating for reform.
“Military families make sacrifices every day. A safe home should not be one of them,” Wanner said.
Sen. Ossoff, D-Ga., says he’s not sure what the next steps look like, but that uncovering the truth is an important piece of fixing the problems.
“The path to justice starts with getting the facts. And that’s what we’ve done for the last eight months,” Ossoff said. | https://www.bigcountryhomepage.com/news/politics/senate-investigation-uncovers-hazardous-conditions-in-military-housing/ | 2022-04-26T23:43:38Z | https://www.bigcountryhomepage.com/news/politics/senate-investigation-uncovers-hazardous-conditions-in-military-housing/ | false | 15 |

The Warriors and Bucks enter Wednesday in need of one more win to wrap up their respective first-round playoff series.
Golden State’s Game 4 loss at Denver on Sunday denied it a sweep over a Nuggets team that dropped each of the first three games.
Milwaukee has posted back-to-back dominant wins over Chicago and holds a 3-1 lead despite continuing to play without Khris Middleton, whose knee injury in Game 2 of the series forced the defending champions to adjust.
Both front-running teams remain confident as they prepare to play in their home arenas.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr believes playing a closeout game for the first time in two seasons was beneficial to his team, even though it lost.
He also thinks not letting Denver be as physical as it was in Game 4 will be key.
“It’s a lot tougher to play against physicality when every possession is in the half court,” Kerr said. “Our defense can help our offense. Not fouling, letting the game flow is big advantage for us.”
The Bucks have endured without Middleton thanks in part to Bobby Portis. He is averaging 16 points per game and shooting 50% from the field (42% from 3-point range) since being inserted into the starting lineup.
“The guys have been competing,” coach Mike Budenholzer said. “With or without Khris, when we’re good defensively, that usually bleeds into our offense. While we can always get better, I think the defense has been what we’ve leaned on pretty hard here the last couple of games.”
With a second-round matchup against Boston looming, defense will continue to be paramount.
“Everybody has stepped up in his absence,” Wesley Matthews said. “Obviously you can’t just have one person fill what Khris does.”
Here is a look at Wednesday night’s games:
BULLS AT BUCKS
Milwaukee leads 3-1. Game 5, 7:30 p.m. EDT, TNT
NEED TO KNOW: After the two teams split two close games in Milwaukee, the Bucks have taken command of this series with two lopsided victories in Chicago, a 111-81 drubbing in Game 3 and a 119-95 blowout in Game 4. The Bucks are 1-1 at home, matching their total number of home playoff losses from their title run last season.
KEEP AN EYE ON: Bucks G Grayson Allen. After scoring a total of three points in the first two games, Allen had 22 in Game 3 and 27 in Game 4. Allen reached the 20-point mark just five times in the regular season, and only twice since mid-November. He has shot 11 of 14 over his last two games.
INJURY WATCH: The Bulls announced G Zach LaVine was placed in the health and safety protocols and didn’t travel with the team to Milwaukee Tuesday. But he will continue to test in hopes of being cleared in time for Game 5. Guard Alex Caruso also remains in the concussion protocol, also leaving his status uncertain for Game 5. ... Middleton will miss a third straight game with a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee. Bucks G George Hill hasn’t played yet in the postseason and remains out with an abdominal strain.
PRESSURE IS ON: The Bulls' defense. Chicago’s ability to force turnovers and disrupt Milwaukee's offense made this series competitive early, but the Bucks picked the Bulls apart over the last two games. The Bucks shot 52.3% overall and went 17 of 33 on 3-point attempts in Game 4. This series ends Wednesday if the Bulls don’t get back to defending the way they did in the first two games.
NUGGETS AT WARRIORS
Golden State leads 3-1. Game 5, 10 p.m. EDT, TNT
NEED TO KNOW: A late 3-pointer by Will Barton and 37 points from Nikola Jokic helped the Nuggets to a 126-121 win in Game 4. But they nearly squandered a 17-point lead, which doesn’t bode well for Denver. Golden State won by 16 and 20 points at home in Games 1 and 2.
KEEP AN EYE ON: Stephen Curry. The All-Star has come off the bench for the Warriors in each of the first four games, with Kerr steadily increasing his minutes following the foot injury that sidelined him late in the regular season. He was up to 37 minutes in Game 4 and has led Golden State in scoring each of the last three games.
INJURY WATCH: Kerr said Curry has “no limitations” on his minutes. But he declined to say whether Curry will start in Game 5.
PRESSURE IS ON: The Nuggets, who have dropped three straight at Golden State dating back to the regular season. A loss would drop them to 1-8 in their last two playoff series after being swept by Phoenix in the conference semifinals last season.

NAACP: Michigan attorney general must investigate Lyoya case
Published: Apr. 26, 2022 at 7:01 PM EDT|Updated: 56 minutes ago
(AP) - A civil rights group is demanding that the Michigan attorney general investigate the police shooting of Patrick Lyoya, warning the longstanding relationship between the county prosecutor’s office and Grand Rapids police could lead to bias.
The president of the Greater Grand Rapids NAACP says he personally asked Chris Becker to recuse himself but the Kent County prosecutor declined.
Cle Jackson says there are too many conflicts of interest. But Becker says he won’t give up the case.
Lyoya, a 26-year-old Black man, was shot in the back of the head by a white Grand Rapids officer after an April 4 traffic stop. State police are investigating the shooting.

An Iowa state trooper is suing the state’s Department of Public Safety for allegedly refusing to pay him his salary while he’s incapacitated by COVID-19.
Trooper Matthew T. Eimers of Hamilton County, who has been employed by the department for the past 21 years, is suing the agency in Polk County District Court.
He alleges the Iowa Department of Public Safety is obligated by law to pay him his full compensation and benefits from Jan. 4 of last year, when he first contracted COVID-19, into the future.
Eimers cites an Iowa law that states any peace officer who becomes incapacitated through “injury, disease, or exposure incurred or aggravated while in the actual performance of duty” is entitled to collect his or her pay, without using sick leave, until fully recovered or declared permanently disabled.
According to Eimers’ lawsuit, heart disease, lung disease and infectious disease are each presumed by Iowa law to be work-related conditions if they are contracted by a law enforcement officer.
Eimers alleges that in September 2004, his supervisor took him to a Des Moines hospital due to respiratory and heart problems and that he was diagnosed with arterial fibrillation, a heart disease. Seventeen years later, in January 2021, Eimers says, he became ill with COVID-19, which worsened his heart condition and led to a lung disease or impairment. Eimers alleges he has been unable to work since that time, and that his doctors have advised him he needs to retire.
The lawsuit states that while Eimers was initially given his regular pay after being off work due to COVID-19, the checks stopped coming after 60 days, meaning the state owes him a year’s worth of pay at present, plus additional pay extending into the future.
Eimers alleges that since last April, he has had to use his accumulated sick leave and other benefits to get by.
The department has yet to file a response to the lawsuit, but it did deny any wrongdoing in a recent, separate case based on the same allegations.
That case, filed by Eimers last December, sought a court order requiring the department to pay him his salary and requiring the state’s police retirement system to send his records to a medical review board for a determination as to whether he is disabled. The case was dismissed, with a judge finding that because Eimers had not exhausted all administrative remedies, the court had no jurisdiction in the matter.
Eimers has asked the court to reconsider that decision, arguing there are no administrative remedies he can pursue. A hearing on that motion is scheduled for Friday. | https://www.ottumwacourier.com/news/state-trooper-disabled-by-covid-19-sues-the-state-over-unpaid-wages/article_8535d30e-c5a5-11ec-acdf-7f2e49ee4891.html | 2022-04-27T00:00:15Z | https://www.ottumwacourier.com/news/state-trooper-disabled-by-covid-19-sues-the-state-over-unpaid-wages/article_8535d30e-c5a5-11ec-acdf-7f2e49ee4891.html | true | 1 |
EMBARGO UK pay settlements heading to highest since 2008 - XpertHR
LONDON, April 27 (Reuters) - British employers are starting to offer the biggest annual pay rises since 2008, but the increases are still not keeping up with fast-rising inflation, human resources data company XpertHR said on Wednesday.
Provisional figures for April -- when almost half of British pay deals take effect -- showed a median annual pay award of 4%, up from 3% in the first three months of 2022.
"We see a notable upturn in pay settlements for this month," XpertHR's pay and benefits editor, Sheila Attwood, said.
The Bank of England is eyeing wage deals closely ahead of its May policy meeting, which economists expect will see it raise interest rates by a quarter point to 1%, their highest since 2009.
In February a BoE survey of businesses suggested pay settlements this year would average nearly 5% -- a level which some BoE policymakers feared could lead to high inflation becoming entrenched in the British economy.
XpertHR said pay settlements have increased since last year -- when they averaged just 1.2% in the three months to March 2021 -- but inflation has risen far more steeply.
It said the gap between pay settlements and retail price inflation was the widest since its records began in 1984.
RPI -- an older measure of inflation still used in many pay negotiations -- hit 9% in March, while consumer price inflation -- the newer measure targeted by the Bank of England -- rose to a 30-year high of 7%.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department has suspended the officers involved and launched two investigation after a man in custody died after being Tasered.
The department’s Critical Incident Response Team responded to the scene of the incident early Monday on the city's northeast side to conduct a criminal investigation. The department’s Internal Affairs department is conducting a separate investigation, IMPD said.
The civilian-majority Use of Force Review Board will conduct a separate review after the other two investigations are complete.
Officers were told by a father that his son, Herman Whitfield III, 39, was experiencing a mental health issue and needed an ambulance, police said.
Officers requested an ambulance after they saw Whitfield moving through the home naked, sweating and bleeding from his mouth, police said. He moved to parts of the home where officers lost sight of him several times.
Officers had tried negotiating and using de-escalation tactics for more than 10 minutes when Whitfield moved quickly toward an officer, police said.
“The officer activated the Taser twice and the man continued to resist," police said in a new release.
Officers handcuffed the man, but medics received no response from him, and they began CPR, police said. Whitfield was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.
Officers described the man as about 6 feet 2 inches (1.9 meters) tall and around 280 pounds (127 kilograms) pounds.
The officers who were directly involved have been placed on administrative leave, IMPD said. | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/Investigations-underway-after-man-Tasered-by-Indy-17128891.php | 2022-04-27T00:02:16Z | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/Investigations-underway-after-man-Tasered-by-Indy-17128891.php | false | 13 |

Incandescent light bulbs being phased out to save energy
The Biden administration is scrapping old-fashioned incandescent light bulbs, speeding an ongoing trend toward more efficient lighting that officials say will save households, schools and businesses billions of dollars a year.
Video above: Energy saving top tips
Rules finalized by the Energy Department will require manufacturers to sell energy-efficient light bulbs, accelerating a longtime industry practice to use compact fluorescent and LED bulbs that last 25 to 50 times longer than incandescent bulbs. The Trump administration had slowed an earlier phaseout of incandescents, saying it was targeting rules that burden businesses.
Once the new rules are fully in place next year, consumers should save nearly $3 billion per year on their utility bills, the Energy Department said. The rules are projected to cut planet-warming carbon emissions by 222 million metric tons over the next 30 years, an amount equivalent to emissions generated by 28 million homes in one year, officials said.
“By raising energy efficiency standards for lightbulbs, we’re putting $3 billion back in the pockets of American consumers every year and substantially reducing domestic carbon emissions,” Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said in a statement Tuesday. “The lighting industry is already embracing more energy efficient products, and this measure will accelerate progress to deliver the best products to American consumers and build a better and brighter future.”
The new rules expand energy-efficiency requirements to more types of light bulbs and ban sale of bulbs that produce less than 45 lumens per watt — a measure of how much light is emitted for each unit of electricity.
The Trump administration in 2019 had slowed a years-long push by Congress and past administrations to switch Americans to LED bulbs and other lighting that uses less electricity. Former President Donald Trump said in September 2019 that the Energy Department canceled a pending phaseout of incandescent bulbs because “what’s saved is not worth it.”
Advocates hailed the latest rule change, saying it would ensure that commonly used light bulbs meet an easily achieved efficiency standard.
“This is a victory for consumers and for the climate — one that’s been a long time coming,” said Steven Nadel, executive director of the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy, a nonprofit organization that seeks to reduce energy waste and combat climate change.
LED bulbs “have become so inexpensive that there’s no good reason for manufacturers to keep selling 19th-century technology that just isn’t very good at turning electrical energy into light,'' Nadel said. The new standards “will finally phase out energy-wasting bulbs across the country.”
Andrew deLaski, executive director of the Appliance Standards Awareness Project, said that while retailers will be able to sell inefficient bulbs until July 2023, “responsible chains ought to get them off their shelves as soon as possible and certainly by the end of this year.''
In 2020, about 30% of light bulbs sold in the United States were incandescent or halogen incandescent bulbs, according to industry groups. The new rule bars manufacture or importation of incandescent bulbs as of Jan. 1.
The National Electrical Manufacturers Association said in statement that LED lighting, “spurred by research scientists and lighting manufacturers,” has been fully embraced by consumers and is "an unqualified success.''
The manufacturers group “appreciates the administration’s recognition of the challenges industry faces in complying” with the new rule and its "adoption of a more manageable compliance timeframe” than earlier proposals, said spokesman Spencer Pederson. | https://www.kcra.com/article/incandescent-light-bulbs-being-phased-out-to-save-energy/39828584 | 2022-04-27T00:05:33Z | https://www.kcra.com/article/incandescent-light-bulbs-being-phased-out-to-save-energy/39828584 | true | 56 |

Safety mindset at APM Terminals recognised by the Francis R. Sharp Executive Leadership In Safety award
Signal Mutual’s Executive Leadership Award has recognised Jon Poelma, during his time as Managing Director of APM Terminals Port Elizabeth, as an executive who spearheads the promotion of employee safety and health through the implementation of a strong safety culture, safety management commitment, and proactive systems within their organization.
“This award belongs to the people of APM Terminals Elizabeth who worked together with our ILA partners to raise the bar and help each other day and night to stay safe on the terminal,” said Jon Poelma, Managing Director of APM Terminals Port Elizabeth in 2021. “Handling record cargo volumes in 2021 with high yard utilizations required special planning and extra coordination from everyone. Special thanks goes to our ILA Labor partners who enabled us to operate safely through the pandemic.”
The award seeks out executives who sets high safety standards based on personal values and commitment to preventing workplace injuries and illnesses, establishing safety initiatives that are integrated throughout the organizational structure.
“Working at a trucking company years ago changed my approach to safety,” commented Poelma. “Rather than merely reacting to accidents – when the damage is already done – we started installing technology in the trucks to collect data from regular operations. The information enabled us to identify and explore the safety risks, for example when and why the trucks were speeding.
“We quickly came to understand that people are rarely trying to do the wrong thing. Mostly there were valid reasons why they acted as they did. Maybe the driver was in a hurry to finish his run, so he could make it to his son’s baseball practice.
Listening, learning and adapting mindset
“By engaging and listening to the driver, we could understand the reasons and mitigate the risk together – like simply trade his shifts, so he could get to the game without stress. I took that mindset of listening, learning, and adapting with me into APM Terminals, where it is completely aligned with the company’s global approach to safety.”
The award also values recipients who display values and commitment by being actively involved in promoting safety off the job and in the community. When selecting Mr. Poelma for the award, Signal highlighted, among other things, the clear visibility and engagement he demonstrated, through, for example regular site walks with employee observations and engagement. Known as Gemba walks, these site walks are a key pillar of APM Terminals global approach to safety.
“So much of it is about building a culture,” explains Poelma. “By repeatedly asking questions like ‘what’s the worst thing that can happen in this situation?’, you get people to think through what they are doing and how it could result in harm to themselves or their equipment.
“And when you see people exhibiting the right behaviors, you ask: ‘How do we get others to exhibit the same attention to safety as you?’. You seek to understand why, from their perspective, their colleagues might not be exhibiting the same behaviors. Again, you are learning – and that enables you to take action to help coach others.”
Support from Leadership
“This is a key safety cultural aspect. Front line support workers need to understand that leaders will support them as they make daily safety decisions that may not always be operationally-friendly,” commented Richard Lubert, SVP Safety & Member Performance at Signal Mutual.
Other factors recognized by Signal included Mr. Poelma’s strong and regular communication on safety emphasizing its importance to the organization and its employees, while at the same time personalizing safety and its influence on the employee’s family. He also engaged with Signal safety team to develop a robust safety management approach that focuses on leading indicators.
“Our people are constantly balancing priorities like efficiency or profitability, getting a ship in and out, taking care of a customers,” explains Poelma. “We have to build their understanding and trust that safety actually comes first, and if we have to take a hit somewhere else on that account, then that is okay. That’s why we make a real effort to recognize those who are modelling the right behaviors, putting safety first.”
Mr. Poelma was selected from more than 200 other member CEOs in recognition of the steady and innovative improvements in safety under his leadership. He was recently promoted to Managing Director at APM Terminals Pier 400 Los Angeles, California. The facility is the largest privately-operated container terminal in North America.

The only Interstate 10 rest area between Tucson and metro Phoenix is open again after a renovation that started earlier this year.
The Arizona Department of Transportation says the Sacaton Rest Area on both sides of I-10 near Casa Grande got upgrades to its restrooms, water lines, septic tanks, electrical and mechanical systems as well as new paint.
Other completed work included upgrades to comply with the Americans with Disability Act and replacing a water supply line running from the westbound facility to the eastbound facility.
The department says the project is among several either underway or completed to repair and replace rest area facilities that have been in place for as long as 50 years. | https://www.knau.org/knau-and-arizona-news/2018-11-08/what-a-relief-lone-rest-area-on-stretch-of-i-10-reopens | 2022-04-27T00:17:56Z | https://www.knau.org/knau-and-arizona-news/2018-11-08/what-a-relief-lone-rest-area-on-stretch-of-i-10-reopens | true | null |
Viola Davis was suited up for an appearance on “The View” on in New York City.
The “How to Get Away with Murder” star left the set of the talk show in a sharp suit, featuring a punchy coral tone. Layered over a matching collared top, the set was given a relaxed yet optimistic appearance. Completing Davis’ ensemble were gold hoop earrings.
When it came to shoes, the “First Lady” actress’s look was complete with an equally sharp pair of boots. Her style, which appeared to feature an ankle-length height, included pale beige leather uppers with slightly squared toes. The set was complete with black heels, which appeared to include a leather texture and 3-4-inch heels — though they weren’t fully visible beneath Davis’ suit trousers.
During her interview, Davis discussed numerous topics, ranging from her experience growing up in poverty to her new memoir, “Finding Me” — and how starring in “How To Get Away with Murder” changed her life.
You can view more of Davis’ interview below:
Boots like Davis’ are a sharp finish to any ensemble, thanks to their mid-range height and full foot coverage. Styles in neutral-toned leather and suede are top trends throughout any season, as seen in new pairs by Schutz, Sam Edelman and Marc Fisher. Aside from Davis, stars like Kelly Clarkson, Alexa Chung and Halsey have also slipped on sharp boots by Balmain, Gucci and Chloe in recent weeks.
Over the years, Davis has become one to watch since working with stylist Elizabeth Stewart. On the red carpet, the actress often wears coordinating pointed-toe pumps from brands like Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo and Stuart Weitzman. Off-duty, she can also be spotted in thong sandals, flats and mesh sneakers — plus one of her go-to shoes, a pair of gold platform brogues by Stella McCartney.

The State Bar of Arizona has reopened its investigation of two Flagstaff attorneys representing a man charged in a fatal shooting on the Northern Arizona University campus.
The State Bar probe and the criminal case against Steven Jones are separate but related matters. A judge cited the initial probe in the latest delay of Jones' retrial, now scheduled to start in March.
Jones is charged with murder and aggravated assault in the October 2015 shooting that killed 20-year-old Colin Brough and injured three other students. A jury in Jones' first trial deadlocked on the charges.
One of the victims' mothers, Kimberly Prato, alleged two of Jones' attorneys, Ryan Stevens and Bruce Griffen, had a conflict of interest because they met with her son early on in the case. Prato's son, Nick, was shot in the neck.
The State Bar dismissed the allegations, citing a lack of clear and convincing evidence the attorneys violated ethical rules. But the bar instructed the attorneys to ensure their conduct adheres to those rules going forward.
Prato appealed to the Attorney Discipline Probable Cause Committee under the Arizona Supreme Court, which reversed the dismissal last week and ordered the State Bar to investigate further.
Prato declined comment.
A brief order from the committee doesn't say what led to its decision, and its proceedings aren't public.
In court documents filed in Jones' criminal case, Stevens and Griffen have denied a conflict exists. They met and communicated with Nick Prato over two months before joining Jones' defense team. Griffen was out of the office Monday, and Stevens declined comment on the reopening of the investigation "out of respect for the process and people involved."
Rick DeBruhl, a spokesman for the State Bar, could not elaborate on the investigation or give a timeframe for when any recommendations would be resubmitted to the committee. The process is administrative but similar to a state prosecutor asking law enforcement to gather more information on a case and report back, DeBruhl said.
The most likely scenarios in any case sent back to the State Bar for further investigation are: the dismissal is upheld, the committee asks the State Bar again to dig deeper, or a probable cause hearing is held, he said. | https://www.knau.org/knau-and-arizona-news/2018-11-26/state-bar-reopens-investigation-of-two-flagstaff-attorneys | 2022-04-27T00:23:09Z | https://www.knau.org/knau-and-arizona-news/2018-11-26/state-bar-reopens-investigation-of-two-flagstaff-attorneys | true | 1 |

New audio of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, obtained and reported on by The New York Times on Tuesday, reveals he expressed concern about far-right House Republicans inciting violence against other lawmakers in the aftermath of January 6, 2021.
In the audio, the California Republican repeatedly lamented the inflammatory comments made by some GOP lawmakers following the US Capitol attack -- a far different posture than his efforts to downplay Republicans' role in the insurrection.
On January 10, 2021, McCarthy urged Republican leaders on a private call to monitor the public statements of lawmakers, such as Reps. Mo Brooks of Alabama and Matt Gaetz of Florida, and alert him of any potentially dangerous messages.
"The country is too crazy," McCarthy said, according to audio obtained by two New York Times reporters for their upcoming book, "This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden and the Battle for America's Future."
"I do not want to look back and think we caused something or we missed something and someone got hurt. I don't want to play politics with any of that."
McCarthy did not respond to questions from reporters at the Capitol on Tuesday regarding the New York Times report. Asked if he was concerned it could hurt his chances of becoming speaker if Republicans win the House in the midterm elections, he said, "Nope."
The Republican leader had specifically taken issue with a television interview that Gaetz gave attacking Republican Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming and other Republicans who criticized former President Donald Trump. "He's putting people in jeopardy," McCarthy said of Gaetz, according to the audio. "And he doesn't need to be doing this. We saw what people would do in the Capitol, you know, and these people came prepared with rope, with everything else."
House Minority Whip Steve Scalise called Gaetz's conduct "potentially illegal," according to the Times. Scalise deflected questions about the New York Times report on Tuesday, blasting the "liberal media" for reporting on the insurrection.
"I haven't seen what they're referring to. But it's not surprising that the liberal media wants to keep talking about January 6, because they don't want to focus on all the crises that President Biden's created from inflation to gas prices to the border," he told reporters.
Gaetz told CNN that he has not seen the Times story.
Brooks, in response to the report, told CNN in a statement that "Kevin McCarthy spoke before knowing the facts."
According to the audio, McCarthy grew more pointed when an inflammatory tweet from GOP Rep. Barry Moore of Alabama about rioter Ashli Babbitt was read aloud during the call. "Can't they take their Twitter accounts away, too?" McCarthy asked.
His comments mark the latest instance of a damning conversation he had in the immediate aftermath of January 6 coming to light.
The California Republican is already facing criticism after separate audio clips revealed contradictory statements he made about Trump.
In one audio clip, he is heard telling GOP leaders in the days following the insurrection that he planned to advise Trump to resign, among other things. McCarthy has since defended his comments, saying he had been walking through potential scenarios about Trump's fate after the insurrection and hadn't been advocating any of them.
During a closed-door leadership meeting Tuesday evening, McCarthy addressed the recent controversy, two sources familiar with the meeting told CNN.
After making a joke about whether anyone was recording him, McCarthy explained to his leadership team, as well as committee leaders, that he never asked Trump to resign or brought that idea to the conference.
"Don't let things like this divide us. We need to stick together," McCarthy said in concluding his remarks.
In another audio clip obtained and previously reported by the Times, McCarthy told Republican lawmakers on a private conference call that Trump had admitted to bearing some responsibility for the attack.
This story has been updated with additional information Tuesday.

Kim McCuistion, dean of Tarleton State University’s campus in southwest Fort Worth, has been named associate vice chancellor and inaugural director for Texas A&M’s downtown Fort Worth research and academic campus.
The Texas A&M University System made the announcement Monday (April 25). McCuistion, who also serves as vice president for external operations at the Tarleton State campus near Chisholm Trail Parkway, will begin her new duties June 1. Dr. Karen Murray will oversee Tarleton-Fort Worth as well as locations in Waco, Midlothian and Bryan while the university searches for a successor to McCuistion.
Texas A&M’s downtown Fort Worth research and academic campus will be near the Fort Worth Convention Center and anchored by a new Texas A&M University School of Law. Representatives of the A&M System, the city of Fort Worth, Tarrant County and the economic development nonprofit Fort Worth Now signed a memorandum last fall outlining plans for the new campus, a three-building development that will be constructed in phases. The three projects are expected to cost a minimum of $250 million.
The university expects to break ground on the first building, the research center, this summer.
The new research center will be home to several career initiatives in fields such as emergency response communication, medical technologies, manufacturing, nutrition and biotechnology, officials said, adding that the campus will create a collaborative hub for key Fort Worth industries and A&M’s top research, education and workforce training resources.
“Dr. McCuistion has the leadership and vision to grow our Fort Worth research and academic campus into something great,” said A&M System Chancellor John Sharp. “We made a Texas-sized commitment to Fort Worth, and we will keep that promise.”
After more than 40 years in Fort Worth, Tarleton moved to its permanent 80-acre home on Chisholm Trail Parkway in 2019. In March, the university broke ground for a second building, set to open in 2024. With more than 100,000 square feet of classroom and specialized lab space, the $66 million Interprofessional Education Building will address the region’s two most pressing needs – increased access to quality health care and education.
“With a well-established campus in Southwest Fort Worth and nationally acclaimed academic and research programs, our university is a perfect fit for this innovative partnership with the A&M System,” said Tarleton President James Hurley. “Dr. McCuistion has been instrumental in helping us grow in Fort Worth. She knows the territory. She’s the perfect person to lead the charge.”
McCuistion joined Tarleton in 2018 as chief of staff to the university president following 11 years with Texas A&M University-Kingsville. She had a split appointment there with the Department of Animal, Rangeland and Wildlife Sciences and the King Ranch Institute for Ranch Management. She served three years as interim dean of Texas A&M-Kingsville’s Honors College.
McCuistion holds a bachelor’s degree in animal science from Texas A&M University, a master’s in animal science from Kansas State University and a doctorate in agriculture from West Texas A&M University.
“It is an honor to serve Tarleton and now to help expand the A&M System footprint,” she said. “Working with city and county leaders, industry partners and A&M universities and agencies, we will create an ecosystem of research excellence and robust entrepreneurship – I have no doubt.” | https://fortworthbusiness.com/education/texas-am-tabs-kim-mccuistion-for-key-position-at-downtown-fort-worth-campus/ | 2022-04-27T00:30:32Z | https://fortworthbusiness.com/education/texas-am-tabs-kim-mccuistion-for-key-position-at-downtown-fort-worth-campus/ | true | 1 |

A conservation group is suing the Trump administration over the protection of critical habitat for garter snakes in Arizona and New Mexico.
The Center for Biological Diversity filed a lawsuit Thursday in federal court in Tucson, accusing the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service of endangering the Northern Mexican garter snake and the narrow-headed garter snake.
In the filing, the organization says the populations of both snakes are at lower densities in both states.
Both became listed as threatened in 2014 under the Endangered Species Act.
An attorney for the Center for Biological Diversity says the Trump administration needs to safeguard the rivers the snakes rely on.
A spokesman for U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service did not immediately a message and email seeking comment. | https://www.knau.org/knau-and-arizona-news/2018-12-21/lawsuit-urges-feds-to-protect-snakes-in-arizona-new-mexico | 2022-04-27T00:35:44Z | https://www.knau.org/knau-and-arizona-news/2018-12-21/lawsuit-urges-feds-to-protect-snakes-in-arizona-new-mexico | false | null |
Highlights from the tenure of NCAA President Mark Emmert, who announced Tuesday that he will step down no later than June 2023:
April 2010: Mark Emmert, president of the University of Washington, is named the fifth NCAA president. He takes over on Oct. 5, 2010.
July 2012: Emmert and the NCAA announce a $60 million penalty, postseason bans and scholarship reductions against Penn State over the Jerry Sandusky sexual abuse scandal. The fine and some of the penalties are later rolled back amid criticism of the NCAA’s role.
October 2013: NCAA officials punish Miami for lack of institutional control over its men’s basketball and football programs. It acknowledged during the investigation that the organization used improper methods to collect evidence.
August 2014: The Division I Board of Directors restructures how schools and conferences govern themselves, paving the way for athletes to have a voice. U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken rules in favor of former UCLA star Ed O'Bannon that NCAA rules "unreasonably restrain trade in the market for certain educational and athletic opportunities.” The NCAA loses an appeal.
April 2016: The NCAA announces an eight-year, $8.8 billion extension of its multimedia rights agreement with CBS Sports and Turner for the Division I men's basketball tournament.
October 2017: Emmert says the American public has lost confidence in the NCAA after it failed to punish North Carolina after an investigation into academic fraud that found athletes took classes that required little or no effort to pass for 18 years.
January 2018: Emmert defends the NCAA’s position on sexual assaults following a report he ignored sexual-assault allegations in 2010 at Michigan State where Dr. Larry Nassar worked. Nassar was later convicted of multiple sexual assaults involving young girls.
March 2020: Just days before Selection Sunday, the NCAA cancels the men’s and women’s basketball tournaments because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
March 2021: Players and coaches at the women’s college basketball tournament complain about the inequities when compared to the men's tournament. Emmert apologizes and orderes a review.
June 2021: The Supreme Court rules unanimously that the NCAA cannot impose caps on education-related benefits schools provide to athletes because it violates antitrust law, a decision experts predict could topple the current collegiate sports model. A few weeks alter, the NCAA clears the way for athletes to earn compensation based on their name, image or likeness.
July 2021: Emmert tells The Associated Press it is time to consider a decentralized and deregulated version of college sports, shifting power to conferences and campuses.
November 2021: NCAA holds a special constutional convention to overhaul its bedrock document.
January 2022: NCAA membership approves a new constitution giving significant authority to the three divisions to reorganize.
April 2022: Emmert and the NCAA announce that he will step down by mutual consent. | https://www.timesunion.com/sports/article/Era-of-change-Mark-Emmert-s-tenure-at-the-NCAA-17129018.php | 2022-04-27T00:37:06Z | https://www.timesunion.com/sports/article/Era-of-change-Mark-Emmert-s-tenure-at-the-NCAA-17129018.php | true | 17 |
The Royal Bank of Canada is predicting a cooling of both home sales and prices in the next couple of years, but Metro Vancouver real estate agents and academics say it is never that simple.
They agree the buying frenzy and bidding wars kick-started when the pandemic began are starting to abate, but say that won’t necessarily translate into cheaper price tags and very likely won’t convert into increased affordability for the average buyers.
Thomas Davidoff, director of the UBC Centre For Urban Economics And Real Estate, said there are different forces at play. On one side, stock market volatility and rising interest and mortgage rates should be slowing the housing market. But, on the other side, increasing rental prices and a perpetual lack of supply could continue to push people to buy, Davidoff said.
The Bank of Canada raised its key interest rate 0.5 per cent in the first week of April, and is considering doing it again in June. The initial hike alone is the highest increase made in more than 20 years.

As a result, RBC is predicting housing prices will peak this spring before beginning a slow decline into the end of 2023. It says the change will be most pronounced in pricey markets like B.C.
The national bank’s economics team forecasts the aggregate price of a B.C. home will increase 6.8 per cent in 2022 ($1,059,000 million) but drop 3.8 per cent in 2023 ($1,018,800), before beginning to level out.
Keith Roy, a 16-year real estate veteran in Metro Vancouver, said while the market may slow, any changes in price will differ by market segment.
He said a $500,000 two-bedroom condominium in Surrey could see a small drop in price. Buyers in that market segment are typically taking out mortgages and will be impacted by increased interest rates, thus raising long-term costs and lowering demand.
A $3-million-plus home in the west side of Vancouver, on the other hand, may not be affected. Roy said he asked multiple buyers of such homes in April why they are choosing to buy now, and they told him they have nowhere else to put their capital.
These kinds of buyers, Roy explained, can buy upfront and aren’t affected by mortgage rates. For them, it’s an investment.

Other buyers still flocking to the market right now are those who got pre-approved for mortgage rates before the interest rate hike. They now have a limited time to purchase before getting caught up in higher rates themselves.
“Right now there is a little bit of a storm, potentially before much calmer weather comes,” 42-year real estate veteran Lorne Goldman said.
He added he puts very little reliability on anyone’s predictions, but expects to see the number of offers on homes decline while steady sales continue.
“I would say the fear of missing out is maybe being reduced,” he said.
Gina Rossi, whose sales have consistently landed her in Metro Vancouver’s top one per cent of real estate agents, has similar thoughts.
She said she’s seeing lower traffic at open houses and fewer showings, but that sales remain strong for sought after homes.
With the possibility of interest rates going up again and the uncertainty of the future of the pandemic, Rossi and others said it’s just not realistic to truly know what is to come.

DENVER (KDVR) — Colorado public school teachers are among the nation’s lowest-paid when they start their careers.

In Colorado, the average teacher made $58,183 in 2021 — about $7,000 less than the national average.
Starting teachers in the Centennial State have a harder time.

MERCED, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) – A woman was arrested after she hit an elderly man in the head with a rock during an unprovoked attack on Tuesday morning, according to the Merced Police Department.
Around 9:20 a.m., officers were called out to the Bear Creek footpath near 27th Street and H Street for a report of an assault.
When officers arrived, they found an elderly man bleeding from a cut on his head.
After speaking with witnesses, officers say they learned that the elderly man had been walking along the trail when 18-year-old Angela Carillo picked up a large rock and hit him in the head with it.
Officers say witnesses told them they saw Carillo pick up the same rock and throw it at the victim’s head again, but she missed.
Carillo was arrested and booked into county jail on charges of felony assault with a deadly weapon and elder abuse.
The motive for the attack is still under investigation but officials say it appears to be unprovoked.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call Officer Wilkins at (209) 385-6905. | https://www.yourcentralvalley.com/news/local-news/woman-arrested-after-hitting-elderly-man-in-head-with-rock-police-say/ | 2022-04-27T00:59:39Z | https://www.yourcentralvalley.com/news/local-news/woman-arrested-after-hitting-elderly-man-in-head-with-rock-police-say/ | true | 1 |
HARRISBURG, Ill., April 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Clearwave Fiber announced plans to expand the company's ultra-fast, state-of-the art, all-fiber Internet network into residential neighborhoods in Murphysboro, IL. The company began serving businesses in Southern Illinois in 1996, and the expansion into residential areas is part of Clearwave Fiber's long-term goal to bring the most advanced and fastest Internet available in the world to more than 500,000 homes and businesses across the United States by 2027.
Clearwave Fiber's Midwest President, Byron Cantrall, stressed the importance of the company's investment to consumers and the broader local community. "We are committed to providing underserved communities with the high-speed connectivity that is essential for families, businesses, and local economies; without these essential services, many of the communities we are targeting will struggle to survive," said Cantrall. "We are excited to extend services to Murphysboro, and we look forward to becoming long-term partners to the community."
Featuring gigabit download and upload speeds, Clearwave Fiber will bring ten times more speed to consumer doorsteps at a time when fast, reliable Internet is becoming increasingly critical to modern households. "More and more, we see households where multiple bandwidth-intensive activities occur simultaneously and many consumers' Internet connections just aren't up to the task," added Cantrall. "The Clearwave Fiber network solves that problem."
For many consumers, Internet touches every facet of daily life. Remote work, telehealth, and virtual learning all require robust, reliable connections. A 2021 study by Deloitte indicated that 55% of U.S. households include one or more remote workers, and 43% include at least one household member attending virtual classes.
Clearwave Fiber is slated to begin construction in June 2022. For more information, visit clearwave.com/home.

After Kansas City shut out the Twins last Wednesday, Ryan Jeffers stepped up, for the first time, to take on a more veteran responsibility: Speaking for the team after a frustrating loss.
It’s one of the less glamorous aspects of the job, having to face the media and explain why the lineup struggled so glaringly at the plate. So older, more prominent teammates usually bear that burden and spare the rookies.
Jeffers isn’t a rookie anymore, though, having debuted in 2020 and established himself as the No. 2 catcher behind Mitch Garver the past two seasons. But with Garver gone in a spring training trade and former Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez still acclimating to his new team, Jeffers seems to have found his voice as one of the Twins’ key starters.
In the visiting clubhouse after that 2-0 loss to the Royals, that showed when Jeffers owned up to his own offensive struggles, saying bluntly that there was no reason Kansas City pitcher Daniel Lynch should have been able to shut down the Twins hitters. But that maturity isn’t something Jeffers just puts on for the press.
People are also reading…
“I always want to be, whether I’m the youngest catcher in the big leagues or whatever it might be, I want to instill that trust and that faith in my pitchers,” Jeffers said. “I don’t want to them to think, ‘Oh, he’s the young guy.’ I want to try and instill enough trust to be like, ‘Oh, wow, he really knows what he’s talking about.’ “
The 24-year-old, who has been splitting time behind the plate with 29-year-old Sanchez, exemplified that in the recent series sweep of the White Sox. Sanchez was supposed to catch Friday’s game but was a late scratch with abdominal tightness, which will keep him out for a couple of days. Not only did Jeffers put the pads on with short notice, but he had his best game of the season.
After collecting just four hits and four walks in his first 34 plate appearances this year, he hit an eighth-inning double that helped the Twins come back for 2-1 victory. And to preserve the score in Chicago’s last at-bat, he stole strikes and blocked a pitch in the dirt with the bases loaded.
“The block at the very end of the game was huge in a moment where there’s people on base, there’s a lot of emotional swings in the game, that easily could have turned into something not benefiting us, for sure,” Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said. “It was a big, big moment.”
Study hall
And it didn’t come just from talent. Jeffers does a lot of pregame research so he’s prepared for anything. He hadn’t caught starter Bailey Ober since last season before having to parachute in Friday. He hadn’t caught Saturday starter Dylan Bundy in a game before, minus some spring training work.
But Jeffers rewatched Bundy’s previous starts and also met with Bundy ahead of the game to run through the plan.
At some point during the Chicago series, Jeffers took a foul ball off his left knee. And while he was supposed to start the finale Sunday, the Twins decided to instead just make him available off the bench so the bruise could heal. That meant recent call-up Jose Godoy would make his Twins debut catching starter Chris Archer, whom he had only barely crossed paths with during spring camp.
Jeffers ensured Godoy was prepared.
“I did a meeting with the pitching coach, with the starter. Jeffers helped me a lot because he told me about the lineup and gave me a couple things about the game, about the hitters. He did a really good job,” Godoy said. “… That was nice. We worked together.”
Pitchers on board
Jeffers’ help plays a role in the overall strength of the Twins’ new starting rotation this season. The combination of Ober, Bundy, Archer, Joe Ryan, Sonny Gray and Chris Paddack sports a 2.62 ERA, which ranks second in the American League and fifth overall.
Jeffers also seemed to have harnessed the momentum behind the plate for his appearances at it. In Saturday’s 9-2 victory, he smacked another double plus a solo home run. Jeffers came into this season with a revamped swing, noticeable from his lower-set hands. Baldelli said it might just have taken some time for Jeffers to perfect his timing and see results from those adjustments.
The same could be said for settling into his role on the team. He’s not one of the big names like Byron Buxton or Carlos Correa, but Jeffers is helping to lead the Twins in his own modest way.
“He’s falling into a really good place out there, and he’s playing well. You can’t ask for anything more from a young player,” Baldelli said. “You don’t want to put incredibly high expectations on a young guy in this game. ... He’s handled everything well, and I think he is settling in more and more as time goes on in a really nice way.” | https://www.winonadailynews.com/in-his-new-leading-role-twins-catcher-ryan-jeffers-embraces-the-responsibility/article_9c26d88f-8490-532b-adcc-9ea6b346d2b0.html | 2022-04-27T01:14:19Z | https://www.winonadailynews.com/in-his-new-leading-role-twins-catcher-ryan-jeffers-embraces-the-responsibility/article_9c26d88f-8490-532b-adcc-9ea6b346d2b0.html | true | 6 |

KD has experienced an array of trolls today.
Kevin Durant and his Brooklyn Nets were kicked out of the playoffs on Monday night following a loss to the Boston Celtics. They were swept in just four games, which led to a lot of slander on social media. In fact, KD had to hear it from the likes of Charles Barkley who told KD that he can't carry a team on his own and that he is basically a ring chaser.
KD did not like this and it led to him taking to Instagram where he showcased Barkley doing the exact same thing on the Houston Rockets, where he played with none other than Hakeem Olajuwon and Scottie Pippen.
Following this post, NBA reporter Rob Perez commented on how this wasn't the best course of action as now, the NBA on TNT producers will have plenty of time to roast KD right back. This prompted a response from Durant who said "An army of producers against the god. Just Another Tuesday."
Of course, fans were incredulous at the fact that KD would call himself a God following such a horrendous first-round performance. KD did not care, however, as he replied to one fan, saying "I don’t get why you guys are so mad at what I call myself. It’s about good affirmations right? Be happy for me."
Let us know what you think of KD's recent tweets, in the comments section down below. | https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/kevin-durant-defends-calling-himself-a-god-following-sweep-news.151117.html | 2022-04-27T01:14:45Z | https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/kevin-durant-defends-calling-himself-a-god-following-sweep-news.151117.html | true | 1 |
Primark unable to resist the trend for rising prices
The owner of Primark has warned that it will have to raise clothing prices this year as inflationary pressures dent profit margins.
A steep increase in the price of shipping containers, energy and raw materials, as well as wage inflation, is driving the move at Primark, which is known for its cheap fashions.
Associated British Foods, which owns the retailer, said: “With increasing inflationary pressure and dollar strengthening, we will implement selective price increases across some of our autumn-winter stock. However, we are committed to ensuring our price leadership and everyday affordability.”
The FTSE 100 company said that it now predicted profit margins at Primark to be 10 per cent, against 11.7 per cent previously, although it still anticipated its adjusted operating profit | https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/primark-unable-to-resist-the-trend-for-rising-prices-0dvssxdt6 | 2022-04-27T01:15:03Z | https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/primark-unable-to-resist-the-trend-for-rising-prices-0dvssxdt6 | false | null |
Santander sets aside £52m to cover losses from loans
Santander UK has set aside £52 million to cover possible loan losses as it braces for the fallout from the cost of living crisis on British households.
The high street lender, which is part of the Spanish banking giant Banco Santander, disclosed the credit impairment charge yesterday in its first-quarter results that showed pre-tax profit from continuing operations rising sharply to £495 million from £175 million a year earlier.
The bank’s earnings were boosted by a 19 per cent decline in its operating expenses to £581 million as the costs associated with a wide-ranging restructuring fell. Santander UK has been overhauled, with branches closed and jobs cut as the group increases its focus on digitalisation.
Chief executive Mike Regnier said Santander was being “prudent”

A federal law that gives preference to Native American families in foster care and adoption proceedings involving Native American children is facing the most significant legal challenge since it was enacted more than 40 years ago.
A federal judge in Texas ruled the Indian Child Welfare Act is unconstitutional, saying it is racially motivated and violates the equal protection clause. More than 20 states have joined hundreds of tribes, advocacy groups and the federal agency that oversees Indian affairs in urging an appellate judge to uphold the law. They say tribes are a political classification, not a racial one, and overturning the Indian Child Welfare Act would lead to untold damage in tribal communities.
"The fear is without the statute, Indian children will once again sort of disappear into the child welfare system and be lost to their families and their tribes," said Adam Charnes, who will present arguments on behalf of five intervening tribes before a panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday.
The law has led to some emotional, high-profile cases, including one in 2016 in which a court ordered that a young Choctaw girl named Lexi be removed from a California foster family and placed with her father's extended family in Utah. Images of the girl being carried away from her foster home drew widespread attention.
In 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the law didn't apply in a South Carolina case involving a young girl named Veronica because her Cherokee father was absent from part of her life.
Congress passed the Indian Child Welfare Act in 1978 because a high number of Native American children were being removed from their homes by public and private agencies. In adoptions of such children, the law requires states to notify tribes and seek placement with the child's extended family, members of the child's tribe or other Native American families. Tribes also have a say in foster care placements.
The law allows states to deviate from placement preferences when there is "good cause." The U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs sought to clarify the term in 2016 by saying state courts shouldn't consider socio-economic status, or ordinary bonding or attachment to host families, among other things.
The latest case centers on Chad and Jennifer Brackeen, a Texas couple who fostered a baby eligible for membership in both the Navajo and Cherokee tribes. The boy's parents voluntarily terminated their parental rights, and the Brackeens petitioned to adopt him.
The state denied their request after the Navajo Nation identified a potential home with a Navajo family in New Mexico. The Brackeens got an emergency stay and went to court.
They were able to adopt the boy in January 2018 after the placement fell through. The boy is now 3, and the couple is seeking to adopt his younger half-sister.
Attorneys general in Texas, Indiana and Louisiana joined in suing the federal government over the Indian Child Welfare Act in 2017. The states say the law is discriminatory, and the federal government has no right to tell states how to regulate child welfare cases.
"It coerces state agencies and courts to carry out unconstitutional and illegal federal policy, and it makes child custody decisions based on racial preferences," Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has said.
Matthew McGill represents the Brackeens, two other couples from Nevada and Minnesota, and a birth mother in the case. He said the Indian Child Welfare Act may have been well-intentioned, but it illegally segregates Native American children by race and has upended his clients' lives.
"Fundamentally, the issue here is that the Indian Child Welfare Act subordinates individualized considerations of a child's best interest in favor of a blunt assumption that being placed with a tribe is going to be better for the tribe, and that's just demonstrably untrue," he said. "It's not going to be true in every case."
The Minnesota couple, the Cliffords, wanted to adopt a girl who lived with them after being in various foster homes for two years. The child ultimately was placed with her maternal grandmother, a member of the White Earth Band of Ojibwe. The tribe at first said she wasn't eligible for membership but later reversed course.
The Librettis in Nevada arranged with a pregnant woman, Altagracia Hernandez, to adopt her unborn child. Hernandez isn't Native American, but the biological father is from Ysleta del Sur Pueblo in El Paso, Texas. The tribe intervened and has identified three dozen possible placements. Hernandez is a plaintiff in the case.
Tribes and tribal advocates say Native American children are still separated from their families at rates higher than the general population, and the law helps them stay connected to their tribes, relatives and culture.
The Indian Child Welfare Act defines Indian children as enrollees or potential enrollees who have a biological parent who is a member of any of the country's 573 federally recognized tribes. About a dozen states have similar laws, some of which expand the definition, said Sarah Kastelic, director of the National Indian Child Welfare Association.
When the federal law was enacted, studies showed up to one-third of Native American children were being taken from their homes by private and state agencies, including church-run programs, and placed with mostly white families or in boarding schools. Testimony in Congress showed that was due to ignorance of tribes' values and social norms. Kastelic also said there was a misconception that Native American families were unfit or too poor to care for their children.
"It was important to halt that removal, to correct state behavior, to put in minimum standards," she said.
Many Native American families have stories about loved ones who disappeared and never returned.
Allie Greenleaf Maldonado said her grandmother and uncles were placed in boarding schools, forced to cut their hair and beaten if they practiced their religion. When the grandmother died, Maldonado's mother was sent to live in Indiana with a Mennonite family who put bleach on her skin to lighten it, told her to say she was Armenian and kept her from communicating with her family, she said.
"They were ashamed she was Native American, and they made her ashamed she was Native American," Maldonado said. "To this day, she's never come back to the reservation. She says she's an apple, red on the outside, white on the inside."
Maldonado and her husband have an adopted son from a neighboring tribe. She said unlike her, 11-year-old Riley is growing up on the reservation and learning about traditional medicine and a culture that includes hunting and fishing.
"Only because of the Indian Child Welfare Act, (and) people following it, he has a community," she said. | https://www.knau.org/knau-and-arizona-news/2019-03-12/appeals-court-to-hear-native-american-child-welfare-case | 2022-04-27T01:18:53Z | https://www.knau.org/knau-and-arizona-news/2019-03-12/appeals-court-to-hear-native-american-child-welfare-case | false | 1 |
The New York Islanders will have at least one lineup change as the begin a home-and-home with the Washington Capitals. J-G Pageau is out of COVID protocol, so he’ll be back in the lineup and Otto Koivula has been returned to Bridgeport.
That was known this morning, but a new alert came this evening as the Isles announced Robin Salo had been recalled on emergency basis. We’ll learn soon who’s likely absence led to that move, and (if we’re lucky) why.
The Isles have nothing to play for but pride and stats. The Capitals can still change their playoff station by catching the Penguins (one point ahead) for third in the Metro or perhaps the Bruins (three points ahead) in the second wild card spot.
But they’ll be dealing with a potentially big blow while trying to pull that off: Alex Ovechkin is officially “day to day” but that could include multiple days threatening his availability for the start of the playoffs. The Capitals naturally will not be very forthcoming about the issue but it’s believed that Ovechkin injured his arm or shoulder while crashing into the boards after a breakaway attempt against the Maple Leafs.
In addition to these two games with the Isles, the Capitals finish their schedule with a game against the Smurfs.
Anyway, game time is 7 p.m. in D.C., and this one gets the MSG+2 (twice the plus!) treatment. | https://www.lighthousehockey.com/2022/4/26/23043697/ny-islanders-vs-capitals-pageau-robin-salo-koivula | 2022-04-27T01:19:52Z | https://www.lighthousehockey.com/2022/4/26/23043697/ny-islanders-vs-capitals-pageau-robin-salo-koivula | false | 1 |
The Spirit of Britain has left the Port of Dover, in Kent, as P&O Ferries resumed Dover-Calais sailings for freight customers on Tuesday evening.
The vessel was detained by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) on April 12 after safety issues were found, but was cleared to sail last Friday.
The ferry company sacked nearly 800 seafarers with no notice on March 17, replacing them with cheaper agency workers. P&O Ferries has not operated between Dover and Calais since the mass sackings.
Passenger services are expected to resume early next week.
The Trade Unions Congress (TUC) has called for a public and commercial boycott of P&O Ferries.
The freight departure comes as P&O Ferries said on Tuesday night that a full investigation would be carried out after a vessel travelling between Cairnryan and Larne lost power off the Co Antrim coast.
The European Causeway, which can carry 410 passengers, was adrift five miles off the coast of Larne in the Irish Sea for more than an hour on Tuesday afternoon.
Earlier, the Marine Traffic website stated the vessel’s automatic identification system status had been set to “not under command” which is reserved for use when a vessel is “unable to manoeuvre as required by these rules and is therefore unable to keep out of the way of another vessel”.
A spokesperson for P&O Ferries said it had been a temporary issue and the European Causeway had travelled to Larne “under its own propulsion”.
“There are no reported injuries on board and all the relevant authorities have been informed.
“Once in dock a full independent investigation will be undertaken.” | https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/uk-news/2022/04/27/spirit-of-britain-departs-port-of-dover-as-po-restarts-freight-services/ | 2022-04-27T01:20:29Z | https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/uk-news/2022/04/27/spirit-of-britain-departs-port-of-dover-as-po-restarts-freight-services/ | true | 12 |

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer sued the woman who accused him of sexual assault in federal court Monday, in a move that came less than three months after prosecutors decided not to file criminal charges against the athlete.
The San Diego woman, whom the pitcher had met through social media, had alleged that Bauer beat and sexually abused her last year. She later sought — but was denied — a restraining order against him. Los Angeles prosecutors said in February there was insufficient evidence to prove the woman’s accusations beyond a reasonable doubt.
Bauer named the woman and one of her attorneys, Niranjan Fred Thiagarajah, as defendants in the lawsuit. The Associated Press does not typically identify people who say they have been victims of sexual assault.
“She wanted to destroy Mr. Bauer’s reputation and baseball career, garner attention for herself, and extract millions of dollars from Mr. Bauer,” the lawsuit states.
Thiagarajah and Marc Garelick, another attorney who represents the woman, did not immediately respond to requests for comment Monday.
Bauer was placed on administrative leave last July 2 under the joint domestic violence and sexual assault policy of Major League Baseball and the players’ association. The leave has been repeatedly extended and currently expires Friday.
Bauer has continued to be paid his $32 million salary while on leave.
After winning his first Cy Young Award with the Cincinnati Reds in 2020, Bauer agreed to a $102 million, three-year contract to join his hometown Dodgers. He did not pitch after June 29 and finished with an 8-2 record and a 2.59 ERA in 17 appearances. He was paid his $28 million salary last year.
Bauer’s lawsuit states that “the damage to Mr. Bauer has been extreme” after the woman alleged that he had choked her into unconsciousness, punched her repeatedly and had anal sex with her without her consent during two sexual encounters last year.
The pitcher has repeatedly said that everything that happened between the two was consensual in the nights they spent together in last April and May at his Pasadena home. He said the two engaged in rough sex at her suggestion and followed guidelines they agreed to in advance. Each encounter ended with them joking and her spending the night.
Last month, Bauer filed a defamation lawsuit against The Athletic and a former reporter, accusing them of “creating and spreading the false narrative” that he fractured the woman’s skull.
“We’re confident in our reporting and plan to defend against the claim,” Athletic spokesman Taylor Patterson previously said in a statement. | https://www.wlns.com/sports/dodgers-pitcher-bauer-files-suit-against-sex-abuse-accuser/ | 2022-04-27T01:25:27Z | https://www.wlns.com/sports/dodgers-pitcher-bauer-files-suit-against-sex-abuse-accuser/ | false | 35 |
You could call High Rise Day Habilitation Center an exceptional place for adults with exceptional needs.
High Rise is a day habilitation center for adults with developmental disabilities. Their mission is to provide day-to-day support and services to adults with developmental and intellectual challenges. High Rise offers a safe and nurturing environment for adults, along with providing their caregivers with substructure and resources.
“It has been a dream to open a day habilitation center,” said Executive Director Jessica Crayton. “We knew there was a need outside of the school system for individuals with disabilities. We wanted to provide a place for adults with exceptional needs to continue their academics, improve their social skills, and focus on daily living skills, which will guide them more towards independence.
“In our area there are not a lot of places that offer services to individuals with disabilities. Having this day habilitation center has opened up new opportunities for families in the special education community.”
High Rise is associated with First United Methodist Church in Cedar Hill. The adults who attend High Rise range from age 18 and up. However, they do offer special programs during the holidays and a summer camp for ages 12 and up through middle school.
Among the abilities they serve are:
- Autism Spectrum Disorder
- Asperger’s Syndrome
- Down Syndrome
- Intellectual disability
- Traumatic brain injury
- Visually impaired
- Hearing impaired
- Celery Palsy
- Other health impairments
“At the First United Methodist Church of Cedar Hill, we are always looking out for ways to minister and support our community. High Rise Day Habilitation was one of those unique ministries that met a need that was very important,” said Dr. Keva Green, lead pastor at the church. “Those precious students at High Rise are in a safe, learning environment. They are dearly loved and well cared for by the staff. Our church is definitely proud of this ministry and is honored to help support it.”
Crayton is quick to point out that while High Rise does provide caregivers with some much-needed time of their own, or a safe place to leave their loved one while going to work, shopping, etc., it is not a day care.
“High Rise gives adults access to positive lifelong friendships with their peers and opportunities to be included in the community,” she said. “Some of these individuals have been going to the same school and in the same placement since they were in elementary school. After graduating high school these adults are now a part of High Rise where they continue to socialize and build new skills as they become more independent.”
Crayton also believes High Rise gives caregivers a “breath of air.”
“They know their adult is safe, learning and growing towards independence under the care of professionals that are highly experienced and qualified to teach adults with disabilities. It is truly a blessing to give our caregivers those services,” she said.
High currently has 15 adults who attend.
Among the services they receive throughout the week are:
- Functional academics.
- Daily living skills/life skills.
- Social/communication skills.
- Pre-vocational job training.
- Art therapy.
- Music therapy.
- Community outings/inclusion.
- Sensory integration.
Plus, it’s just plain fun to come to and be with friends, several noted.
“I like the zoo animals that came to visit here,” said Justin, age 32.
Jeanna, age 39 said, “I like to be here helping people, and I made a lot of new friends here.”
“I enjoy doing circle time every morning with my friends and doing lessons,” said Mitchell, age 25.
High Rise is open Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Cost to attend is $185 per week, and some adults who receive day hab federal funding are granted daily or hourly rates that help with payments.
Families can also schedule a trial day to see if High Rise is a fit for the individual and their family.
“We want our community to know who we are, what we provide and where we are located,” Crayton said. “Our facility is looking to grow in many ways, from adding more skilled professionals to creating more events and opportunities for individuals with disabilities.”

Brass Against have been reminded that they’re performing in a “no pee zone” on their current European tour with Tool.
Last November, footage emerged of Brass Against singer Sophia Urista urinating on a willing fan’s face during the band’s set at the Welcome To Rockville festival in Daytona Beach, Florida.
- READ MORE: Tool – ‘Fear Inoculum’ review
It was subsequently reported that local police were investigating the incident, as Urista may have broken indecent exposure laws. The group were also permanently banned from the venue in question (via Consequence).
Later, the frontwoman issued an apology on social media and claimed that she’s “not a shock artist”. “I have always pushed the limits in music and on stage,” Urista wrote. “That night, I pushed the limits too far.”
She continued: “I love my family, the band, and the fans more than anything and I know that some were hurt or offended by what I did. I apologise to them and want them to know that I didn’t mean to hurt them.”
Last Saturday (April 23) saw Brass Against hit the road to begin their stint supporting Tool on their 2022 European tour.
Upon arriving at the venue – the Royal Arena in Copenhagen, Denmark – Urista was greeted by a sign that’d been taped to the stage. It read: “NO PEE ZONE – No Urine Is To Be Deposited, Placed, Distributed, Sprinkled, Poured And/or Spread In This Immediate Area.”
#tool #copenhagen pic.twitter.com/MW1hlwxh8C
— sophia urista (@sophiaurista) April 24, 2022
The singer shared an image of the message on her official Twitter profile, seemingly appreciating the funny side of the jibe. Urista captioned the snap with the hashtags #tool and #copenhagen. See the tweet above.
Although it’s not been confirmed, the sign was presumably put there by known-practical jokers Tool. Last month, frontman Maynard James Keenan posted a video of himself pranking drummer Danny Carey with a dildo during a gig in the US.
Back in February, the band stormed the stage while Blonde Redhead played their final support slot on Tool’s US tour. Keenan and co. donned long blonde and red-haired wigs as they took over the set in Miami, Florida.
Tool and Brass Against are due to touch down in the UK/Ireland next month for concerts in Manchester, Birmingham, Dublin and London. You can buy any remaining tickets here and see the full schedule below.

When Sex Education was released in 2019, the cast was made up of several young stars who mostly interacted for the first time on the English set and who never imagined that the dynamic with each episode could arouse feelings between the actors, to the point that a parallel love story could be written off-camera.
It was no secret to anyone, because that’s how they themselves made it public, the relationship between Connor Swindells and Aimee Lou Wood, who in Sex Education give life to the characters of Adam Groff and Aimee Gibbs. Although by this date they are no longer together, they lived their union intensely while shooting the series.
Although Sex Education became popular on Netflix during the pandemic, since we were locked up for a long time and we had to invest that same time in consuming masterful and fun series like this one. Aimee and Connor’s relationship did not escape the public eye, through social networks, they shared with their fans how beautiful it is to be in love, even for a short time.
The sexual content of the series in question helped a lot for the audience to imagine and draw conclusions about this relationship between these two protagonists of Sex Education. However, when they reported that they had finished, gossip ran through the halls looking for answers as to why this story had ended.
‘‘What happened [between Connor and me] is that we spent some time apart due to work issues and we realized that maybe our relationship was not good for us. We respect each other. It was a good breakup, nothing dramatic.
After 3 complete seasons and the announcement of a fourth at the door, there are still not many details about what is to come in season 4 of Sex Education, but the truth is that it has raised the expectations of its audience that has been faithful during these years to the tune of this English series.
Although the idyll between Aimee and Connor will no longer continue, at least we will know what future awaits Maeve, who decided to go to the United States when everything seemed ready for candy in her relationship with Otis, will she return to England? We will have to wait until the launch that is expected to be between September and October of this year 2022. | https://www.somagnews.com/sex-education-these-two-actors-from-the-netflix-series-fell-in-love-in-real-life/ | 2022-04-27T01:37:28Z | https://www.somagnews.com/sex-education-these-two-actors-from-the-netflix-series-fell-in-love-in-real-life/ | true | 1 |

ST. BONAVENTURE — Dr. René Hauser has been named dean of the School of Education at St. Bonaventure University.
Hauser’s appointment came after a national search. In January, she replaced Dr. Latoya Pierce as interim dean, who had taken on that role in June 2021 after the retirement of Dr. Lisa Buenaventura.
Hauser has taught in the School of Education since 2004, serving as director of the Differentiated Instruction program from 2009 to 2019 and the Inclusive Special Education programs since 2019. She’s also taught extensively in the undergraduate Elementary Education program.
“I am excited about Dr. Hauser’s appointment,” said Dr. David Hilmey, acting provost and vice president for Academic Affairs. “She has served the School of Education very well as the interim dean this spring and immediately demonstrated the leadership qualities and commitment to Bonaventure that is necessary for success.”
Helmet said Hauser’s decision making and commitment to the students and faculty make her an ideal choice to lead the school.
“Her knowledge and leadership, including her role in continuing NCATE and now CAEP accreditation, will be invaluable as she takes on the role of dean,” he said.
St. Bonaventure is accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and has applied for initial accreditation through the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP).
Hauser said she is “honored to serve and looks forward to continuing my good journey” at the university.
“I’m excited to have been part of such an amazing group of educators and am thankful for the privilege of serving them in this leadership role,” she said. “Our School of Education is vibrant and growing. The faculty and staff work together to prepare the next generation of teachers, leaders and counselors who are highly skilled and making a positive impact in their communities.”
Outside of the classroom, Hauser has served in a number of roles at St. Bonaventure, most recently as chair of the Faculty Senate since 2020.
She has been the Assessment and Accreditation Coordinator for the School of Education since 2011 and co-director of SBU’s Center for Attention, Learning, and Memory since 2020; and she chaired SBU’s Graduate Council from 2016-2019.
Hauser has served on more than two dozen committees during her time at St. Bonaventure, including University Planning Commission Graduate Excellence Task Force, Middle States Steering, Student Affairs, Grievance, Disability Awareness, COVID Academic Contingency, Honors Council, Handbook, Women’s History Month, Technology, Institutional Review Board, Academic Program Evaluation, NCATE Steering, Keenan-Martine Grant, Lenna Visiting Scholars, and CODAH Review Board.
She’s been honored at St. Bonaventure with the Professional Excellence in University Service and Leo E. Keenan Jr. Faculty Appreciation awards.
Hauser earned her bachelor and master’s degrees from Buffalo State and doctorate in Special Education from the University at Buffalo. She also earned a certificate of advanced study in Educational Leadership from St. Bonaventure. | https://www.oleantimesherald.com/news/dr-ren-hauser-named-dean-of-st-bonaventure-s-school-of-education/article_c653be3c-763a-53b9-a71c-cd5ddb905d6a.html | 2022-04-27T01:44:23Z | https://www.oleantimesherald.com/news/dr-ren-hauser-named-dean-of-st-bonaventure-s-school-of-education/article_c653be3c-763a-53b9-a71c-cd5ddb905d6a.html | true | 1 |
In the three elections since WWII hat have been directly affected by security worries, incumbent governments have prevailed. Will the same be true for 2022? TONY WALKER takes a look.
ELECTIONS held in the shadow of war or overarching national security concerns tend to favour incumbents.
In the three elections since the second world war that have been directly affected by security worries, incumbent governments have prevailed.
In 1951, Robert Menzies fought an election on his determination to ban the Communist party. This was an effort to wedge the Labor party on divisions within its own ranks between a Soviet Union-sympathetic left and an anti-communist right.
Menzies’ election speech of April 28, 1951, delivered in his own electorate of Kooyong, makes interesting reading in light of debates now about surging Chinese influence in the region. He said:
“I need not tell you that every way the Communists are delighted with the Labor Opposition.”
This speech was delivered against the backdrop of the Korean war, in which Mao Zedong’s forces fought on the side of North Korea and against Australian soldiers defending the south.
Menzies’ Coalition went on to win the election against Ben Chifley’s Labor Party. While the Coalition lost five seats, it was a status quo result in the 121-member House of Representatives, with the Liberal and Country parties maintaining a comfortable majority 69-52. Labor lost control of the Senate.
Menzies subsequently failed to ban the Communist Party at a referendum. This was a popular cause at a time of significant community concern about communist influence in the region accompanied by the spectre of dominos falling towards Australia. In 1966, Harold Holt, as newly-anointed leader of the Liberal Party and Prime Minister, won a landslide victory against Arthur Calwell’s Labor largely on the issue of Australia’s commitment to Vietnam.
Calwell, who had given one of the great parliamentary speeches in 1965 in which he opposed Australia’s commitment to Vietnam, presided over a catastrophic loss for Labor. It was reduced to 41 seats in the 124-member House of Representatives against the Coalition’s 82, with one independent.
In the third example of incumbency proving to be an important element in an election victory, John Howard in 2001 parlayed anxiety about boat arrivals and a terrorist attack on American soil to propel him to victory.
The Coalition had been faltering in the polls.
Howard’s win over Kim Beazley’s Labor in the shadow of the commitment of Australian troops to Afghanistan to root out al Qaeda underscored the advantages of tenure in uncertain times.
The Tampa episode on the eve of the 2001 poll, in which a Norwegian vessel with stranded boat people on board was refused entry to Australia, prompted one of the more telling interventions in an Australian political debate. Howard responded with:
“We will decide who comes to this country and the circumstances in which they come.”
This brings us to the election of 2022 in which Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Defence Minister Peter Dutton are seeking to use legitimate concerns about a Chinese presence in the Pacific as election fodder.
The Solomon Islands security pact with China has provided a pretext for wedge-politics electioneering, aimed at Labor.
In remarks on Anzac Day, Dutton returned a familiar theme in which he likened China’s rise to that of Third Reich in Nazi Germany, and compared Russian President Vladimir Putin with Adolf Hitler in his efforts to subjugate Ukraine.
“We’re in a period very similar to the 1930s. And I think there are a lot of people in the 1930s that wish they would have spoken up much earlier in the decade.”
In his own efforts to exploit security concerns arising from China’s growing presence in the Pacific, Morrison warned of a “red line” should Beijing seek to establish base facilities in the Solomon Islands.
With its long history of having paid the price politically on national security, Labor has been skittish on the China issue in its efforts to minimise differences with the government.
Morrison and Dutton have sought to make capital out of Labor’s attempts to argue for a more constructive relationship with Beijing. This has caused discomfort among Labor frontbenchers, notably its deputy leader Richard Marles.
In a speech to Beijing’s Foreign Studies University in September 2019, Marles described talk of a new Cold War as “silly and ignorant”. He went on to say, “to define China as an enemy is a profound mistake”.
These words have been seized on by the government and its friends in the media to portray Marles, who may well become defence minister in an Albanese government, as “soft” on China.
Marles has pushed back against these slurs, but it is unlikely he would deliver a similar speech today given China’s further encroachment into the region.
His Beijing speech is absent from his website.
In his efforts to exert pressure on his opponent over Labor’s more nuanced approach to China, Morrison used a peoples’ forum debate to claim Anthony Albanese had taken “China’s side” in debates over the pandemic and border closures.
Albanese responded “that’s an outrageous slur by the prime minister”.
This matters because if a Coalition is re-elected, the prospects of an improvement in relations with China would remain poor. Morrison’s and Dutton’s interventions have hardened the edges of Australia’s relationship with its largest trading partner.
All this is a very long way from the agreement between then Prime Minister Tony Abbott and visiting Chinese President Xi Jinping in Canberra in 2014, to upgrade relations to a “comprehensive strategic partnership”.
Beijing’s mouthpiece, the Global Times, commented:
“When Morrison made the ‘red line’ statement, he jeopardised the red line of the Solomon Islands, an independent country, by failing to recognise the latter’s diplomatic sovereignty.”
This year, unlike 1951, 1966 and 2001, Australians are going to the polls not when lives might be lost in foreign conflicts, but at a time when voter concerns are domestically-focused.
A “True Issues” survey by JWS Research in the Australian Financail Review in March found that cost of living and healthcare trumped concerns about defence, security and terrorism.
An ABC Compass poll this month found that climate change was top of mind, followed by cost of living and affordability. Defence and public security rated a lowly eighth in the ABC poll, as it did in the JWS Research poll.
In other words, there is no clear indication a “China threat” will prove significant in an election dominated by bread and butter issues.

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, has sealed the desired agreement to acquire Twitter after weeks of uncertainty. While Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal and the company board of directors first opposed Musk’s acquisition attempt, the decision was finally made in favour of the world’s richest man after much discussion.
#LeavingTwitter quickly became a trending topic after the announcement. People rushed to Twitter to declare their departure from the microblogging site because they were dissatisfied with the takeover. Others poked fun at the situation with jokes and memes that are all over social media.
People on the internet are now split between those who favour Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter and others who believe it is a bad idea.
‘Why is #leavingtwitter trending?! I hear the cancel culture and the censorship foot soldiers are panicking. No speech is hate speech. Free speech is absolutely a necessity to the survival of true democracy. Smart move by @elonmusk (sic)’, a netizen wrote.

Twitter will cease to exist as a publicly-traded firm once the purchase is completed, which is expected to happen by the end of 2022. Instead, it will be turned into a private firm controlled entirely by Elon Musk. Only time will tell which direction Twitter will go, but Musk’s objective is to convert it into a place where anybody can argue or express themselves without fear of being censored or blacklisted. | https://www.eastcoastdaily.in/2022/04/27/leavingtwitter-trends-on-twitter-in-india-after-elon-musk-buys-the-platform.html | 2022-04-27T01:54:45Z | https://www.eastcoastdaily.in/2022/04/27/leavingtwitter-trends-on-twitter-in-india-after-elon-musk-buys-the-platform.html | true | 1 |
U.S. Interior Secretary David Bernhardt has agreed to put off oil and gas leasing for a year on land that Native Americans consider sacred surrounding Chaco Culture National Historical Park in northwestern New Mexico.
The decision comes after Bernhardt visited the siteTuesday and met with leaders of the Navajo Nation and Pueblo tribes that have been fighting to protect culturally significant sites beyond the park, with its stone structures that were used by an ancient civilization.
The area has been central to an ongoing dispute over drilling in the San Juan Basin in northwestern New Mexico and southwestern Colorado, one of the nation's oldest production areas.
A coalition of tribes has called repeatedly for a moratorium on energy development, while members of New Mexico's congressional delegation have introduced legislation to officially create a buffer zone within 10 miles (16 kilometers) of the park.
Advocates welcomed Bernhardt's decision, but some cautioned that it was a stop-gap measure. They argued for passing the legislation, which they say would protect the area's archaeological and sensitive landscapes by halting new oil and natural gas lease sales on federal holdings within the buffer zone.
The delay on leasing will give the U.S. Bureau of Land Management time to finish drafting an updated management plan to guide energy development on federal land across the region. Bernhardt requested that the plan include an alternative that reflects tribal leaders' views and the boundaries sought by lawmakers.
"I walked away with a greater sense of appreciation of the magnificent site managed by the National Park Service and a better understanding of the tribal leaders' views of its cultural significance," Bernhardt said after his visit.
The Bureau of Land Management in recent years has put off leasing parcels within the buffer zone, but most of that area is Navajo land and individual Navajo allotments. The legislation would not affect mineral rights on that land, meaning development would still be possible.
The 328 square miles (850 square kilometers) of allotted land has 628 oil and gas leases, according to the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs. In the last fiscal year, the agency said it paid out $32 million to those with land rights.
Robert McEntyre, a spokesman for the New Mexico Oil and Gas Association, said Wednesday that the industry has been operating in the basin for nearly a century and has become an integral part of the economy.
"Whatever BLM decides to do, it's our hope that they'll balance what they're hearing from some of the anti-oil groups with what they're hearing from residents who actually live in that area and their desire to see some economic growth," he said.
Bernhardt acknowledged during his visit that the Bureau of Land Management has a "complex mission" of managing a range of land uses.
A thousand years ago, Chaco had been an economic and ceremonial hub for the ancestors of Pueblo people, whose present-day villages are situated throughout much of New Mexico.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the park's stone walls, staircases and other architectural remnants stand against a backdrop of cliffs and rocky outcroppings. Smaller archaeological sites and individual Navajo Nation family allotments can be found beyond the park's boundaries. | https://www.knau.org/knau-and-arizona-news/2019-05-29/us-officials-to-put-off-oil-leases-near-sacred-tribal-land | 2022-04-27T01:59:47Z | https://www.knau.org/knau-and-arizona-news/2019-05-29/us-officials-to-put-off-oil-leases-near-sacred-tribal-land | false | 1 |
Three area restaurants – Sophie’s Cork & Ale of Lexington, Ketchie Creek Bakery of Mocksville and Clemmons, and The Flying Pig of Asheboro - were recognized April 25 for their winning dishes as participants in Eat. Drink. Restaurant Week.
About 30 Triad restaurants participated in Restaurant Week, which actually ran about two weeks, from March 20 to April 3.
Restaurant Week - an event produced by the Winston-Salem Journal, Greensboro News & Record and Eat. Drink. Triad – encouraged area residents to visit participating restaurants and vote on featured dishes in in three categories: fine dining, fast casual and fast food. Restaurants offered special dishes during the event for $25 in the fine dining category, $15 in fast casual and $10 in fast food.
Ketchie Creek won in the fast-food casual for one of its signature sandwiches: cracked-pepper turkey with Havarti cheese and lingonberry mayo on a butter croissant
Ketchie Creek has been a popular spot in Mocksville for years but opened its Clemmons location in 2020 during the first few months of coronavirus pandemic. “I didn’t know what it would be like opening during COVID,” Renna Welborn said, “but it’s been slow and steady. If anything, Clemmons has boosted Mocksville.”

Welborn said she enjoyed the competition – and was surprised that Ketchie Creek won. “It was a fun competition.”
The Flying Pig won in the fast-casual category for its “pig squealing” nachos, which consisted of tortilla chips loaded with house-made chopped barbecue and sauce, spicy queso cheese and jalapeños. The dish was offered in a pairing with Stout One Stout in a partnership with Asheboro’s Four Saints Brewing.
The Flying Pig is owned by Barbara and Dennis Gallimore and MaryAnn and Barry Yow. It has been in business for 13 years. Despite the name, The Flying Pig is not a barbecue restaurant but started as a pizza and sandwich shop. “People used to say Asheboro restaurants would have alcohol when pigs fly,” Barbara Gallimore said in explaining the origin of the name.
She said she was “stunned” to find out that the Flying Pig won in the fast-casual category, “partly because we’re just so small compared to places in Greensboro, High Point and Winston-Salem.”
Chef and owner John Wilson of Sophie’s - arguably has one of the best restaurants in Lexington - won in the fine-dining category with a creative take on surf and turf. “I’m not Ukrainian or anything,” Wilson said, “but the war had just started the week I had to submit my recipe.”
Wilson’s Ukrainian-inspired surf and turf consisted of hanger steak and fried oysters with adjika sauce over garlic roasted Brussels sprouts & potato pancakes. Adjika is an Eastern European kind of pesto or tomato salsa. Wilson’s version features pureed fresh, peeled tomatoes with horseradish and garlic.
Wilson also won last fall during Burger Week.
“It really means a lot to win awards in Triad competitions in little old Lexington. I always say that. I’ll never stop saying that. I look forward to the next competition.”

BRIDGETOWN – Investing in the inclusion of women and girls in political processes and leadership directly benefits economic growth, good governance and participatory democracy. This week, the Commonwealth Secretariat in partnership with Caribbean Women in Leadership (CIWiL) and UN Women is holding a three-day workshop in Bridgetown, Barbados on ‘Leadership for Good Governance and Social Transformation in the Caribbean’ focusing on women’s empowerment in the region.
Speaking about the significance of women’s participation, Commonwealth Secretary-General Rt. Hon. Patricia Scotland QC said:
“If we are to combat the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change and the rising cost of living, then building the capacities of women in parliaments and other decision-making institutions cannot be overstated. While Caribbean countries have made considerable progress in improving the representation of women at all levels of decision-making, we can all do more to ensure that the lives of women and girls are improved in a meaningful way. By combining our collective resources to create greater gender-responsive political participation, we are championing human rights and meeting the Sustainable Development Goals.”
As part of the “Commonwealth Inclusive Dialogue and Women’s Political Participation” project and funded by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), this workshop brings together experienced and aspirant women leaders from across the Commonwealth Caribbean.
Ahead of the workshop, CIWiL Regional Board President, Lady Anande Trotman Joseph said:
“Multiple crises are threatening to reverse the gains made in the past 50 years, by deepening existing inequalities, impacting women’s income generation, hampering their political and social mobility and exacerbating the dire levels of violence against women and girls. This workshop will critically reflect on the status of women in the Caribbean as well as create spaces and enduring networks where Caribbean women leaders can share lessons, experiences, best practices and develop their transformational leadership ethic.”
Representative, UN Women Multi-Country Office – Caribbean, Ms Tonni Brodber said:
“Data continues to show that inclusive policies and legislation that integrate gender responsiveness led to reduced inequality and increased economic growth. Parliaments need more diversity of voices including more women from across all walks of life and vocal male allies demonstrating transformational leadership and advocating for gender responsive solutions to build back better.”
The workshop employs an experiential approach, utilising tools and case studies to support capacity building among Parliamentarians, women and men alike, to advance the role of women in leadership. Participants will have the opportunity to engage with regional and international specialists in politics, gender and development who will facilitate knowledge sharing and exchanges by applying a transformational leadership approach to good governance. The workshop also aims to strengthen technical competencies in parliamentary processes and procedures to strategically address key issues around gender inequality and women’s rights in the region.
The ‘Leadership for Good Governance and Social Transformation in the Caribbean’ workshop emphasises the importance of leadership in the advancement of gender equality and building back better. The workshop is an important step in developing influential and accountable parliamentarians who will serve as champions in their national governments and regionally, for gender-responsive legislation, policies, governance and development processes. | https://www.pmldaily.com/news/2022/04/strengthening-womens-role-in-politics-key-to-solving-todays-crises.html | 2022-04-27T02:02:33Z | https://www.pmldaily.com/news/2022/04/strengthening-womens-role-in-politics-key-to-solving-todays-crises.html | false | 2 |
VALDOSTA — A child was killed Friday in a wreck on Interstate 75 in Lowndes County.
The Georgia State Patrol was called about the accident around 4:45 p.m., said Trooper Nick Morris of Patrol Post 31 in Valdosta.
A Jeep Cherokee was heading north on the interstate when the tread separated on one of its tires, causing the vehicle to overturn, he said.
A 4- to 5-month-old child died in the incident, the trooper said.
The woman who was driving was taken to South Georgia Medical Center, Morris said; her condition was not available Tuesday.
The patrol’s Specialized Collision Reconstruction Team has finished its investigation and will not press charges, he said.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — This map really puts it all into perspective, the green you see depicts where Cleveland homes are listed for market rate, while purple is a representation of underinvested neighborhoods.
Edward Stockhausen with Cleveland Neighborhood Progress helped put this map together.
“Policymakers have been looking at this issue for years,” said Stockhausen.
Now Stockhausen is part of an initiative to reform Cleveland’s tax abatement program, an initiative that he says will bring a lot more green to the map.
“While changes won’t happen overnight, policy can help push things in the right direction,” said Stockhausen. “That’s why in neighborhoods like across the east side and parts of the westside where there has been significant disinvestment over the last decade, tax abatement should encourage more investment in those neighborhoods.”
The Equitable Community Development working group is proposing these 10 recommendations to the program:
- Tax abatements for single-family housing should be capped.
- Tax abatement should be geographically targeted based on the health of neighborhood housing markets, as summarized in the map developed by the Department of Community Development. (See attached map.)
- Tax abatement policy should include exceptions to the cap for certain policy priorities.
- Tax abatement should maintain the current green building standards.
- Tax abatement should further incentivize affordable housing; rehabilitation and renovation; transit-oriented development; first-time homebuyers; multi-family workforce housing; and single-family workforce housing.
- Tax abatements for multi-family, market-rate housing should require Community Benefits Agreements (CBAs) that address minority hiring goals, workforce development goals and other neighborhood-specific hiring goals; and include a clawback provision that would rescind the tax abatement for non-compliance.
- Changes made to tax abatement should be phased in, rather than immediately implemented.
- The Department of Community Development should annually monitor and report on tax abatement.
- The Department of Community Development should implement a digital application process for tax abatements.
- The Department of Community Development should submit a report to the Mayor and to City Council 18 months after reauthorization of the tax abatement policy, outlining all process improvements made and those that are still in progress.
“People want to live across the city of Cleveland, whether it’s in Westpark or neighborhoods on the east side in amazing communities like Hough or Saint Clair and Superior, affordable housing in those areas should be tax abated to the full amount,” said Stockhausen.

PHOENIX (AP) — The Arizona Game and Fish Commission has voted to ban organized contests where hunters try to kill the most coyotes or other predators for prizes.
Friday's 4-0 vote bans contests that require registration and a fee and award prizes for killing the most coyotes or other fur-bearing animals or predators. The ban needs final approval by a council appointed by Gov. Doug Ducey.
Coyote-killing contests have drawn the ire of activists in recent years. The Oregon Legislature is considering a law banning the practice, and New Mexico banned them in April.
The ban approved Friday doesn't apply to lawful hunting of predators or other fur-bearing animals.
The environment group Center for Biological Diversity hailed the vote but said it remained concerned that loopholes will allow some contests to continue. | https://www.knau.org/knau-and-arizona-news/2019-06-21/az-wildlife-officials-move-to-ban-coyote-killing-contests | 2022-04-27T02:14:06Z | https://www.knau.org/knau-and-arizona-news/2019-06-21/az-wildlife-officials-move-to-ban-coyote-killing-contests | true | null |
Biden administration will comply with federal order blocking termination of Title 42
The Biden administration said Tuesday it will comply with an order from a federal judge in Louisiana temporarily blocking the end of a public health authority known as Title 42 on the U.S.-Mexico border.
"If, and when, the court actually issues the (temporary restraining order), the department is planning to comply with that order," a senior administration official told reporters Tuesday, adding that the administration intends to increase deportations along the U.S. southern border when Title 42 lifts.
According to the official, U.S. Customs and Border Protection is planning to expand the use of expedited removal for migrants under immigration law, but a temporary restraining order blocking the termination of Title 42 "would restrict DHS' operation at the border" and disrupt efforts to stem the flow of migration once the authority expires.
"It really makes no sense to us that the plaintiffs would demand, and that the court would order, that DHS be stopped in its use of expedited removal, which, again, is going to prevent us from preparing for the aggressive application of immigration law when the public health order expires. So, we will comply with the court order, but we really disagree with the basic premise," the official said.
Judge Robert Summerhays, of the Louisiana Western District Court, hasn't yet issued his temporary restraining order. A hearing in the case is scheduled for May 13, 10 days before Title 42 is set to end.
The Biden administration, under pressure to prove it's prepared for a potential influx of migrants at the U.S. southern border, revealed additional details about its plans, including surging hundreds of officers and agents and bolstering resources.
In the past three weeks, CBP encountered an average of 7,800 migrants per day across the U.S. southern border, a stark increase from a historical average of 1,600 per day before the pandemic. The change in demographics of migrants has contributed to the uptick, including a steady increase of migrants from Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua.
According to a Department of Homeland Security memo, U.S. Customs and Border Protection deployed 600 officers and agents to the U.S.-Mexico border and is expanding its capacity to hold around 18,000 migrants in custody, up from 13,000. The administration, which began offering COVID-19 vaccines to migrants earlier this year, is expanding sites to 24 locations to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus by May 23.
The department added that it will administer consequences to migrants who don't have claims of asylum by removing them, detaining single adults when appropriate, as well as accelerating asylum adjudications.
Administration officials also stressed the importance of regional partnerships, citing new arrangements with Costa Rica and Panama to stem the flow of migration.
In Tuesday's memo, DHS again acknowledged the likelihood of an increase of migrants when the Trump-era pandemic restrictions lift on the U.S.-Mexico border.
"Following the lifting of (U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's) Title 42 public health Order, we expect increased border flows, in light of exploitation by smugglers, continued demand for access to the United States from people fleeing violence and economic turmoil in their home countries, and other factors discussed above," the memo reads.
This week, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is expected to be grilled by Republican and Democratic lawmakers over the anticipated end of the Title 42 public health authority in high-profile hearings.

The Athens Parks and Recreation Department has announced a new health initiative challenging McMinn countians to Walk for the Health of McMinn.
This program is designed to encourage everyone to get outside and get some exercise. The parks department has organized walking groups at several city parks throughout the week, or participants are encouraged to go out on their own and log their miles. The goal is to have the community log their miles and by Aug. 23 to have reached 53,276 miles as a community, which equals a mile for every resident in McMinn County.
“We are so excited to start this new program and encourage everyone to be moving more whether you are running, rolling, strolling or walking. It’s no secret that obesity rates are crazy high and as a parks department, we want to do something about it. We have created a quick online form to log and enter miles and we are encouraging schools, businesses, and community organizations to organize their own walks to help us reach our goal. We are planning a completion party for Aug. 23, 2022, which is the 200th anniversary that our city was incorporated. We hope to have a lot to celebrate that day,” stated Program Coordinator Brianna Baker.
To get your school, business, or organization involved, contact Brianna Baker at bbaker@

Artwork is currently being displayed at the Etowah Carnegie Library by artist Barbara Ensley of the Community Artist League.
Ensley’s exhibit “The Invisible Thread” is a celebration of the interconnectedness of life. This series of 20 paintings were not painted consecutively. Instead, Ensley switched between canvases allowing each layer of acrylic to dry in between. The paint remaining when an image was completed became the beginning of the next painting. The result of this process is an “invisible thread” of paint that ties all these pieces together in a fluid but cohesive manner.
The library is located at 723 Ohio Ave in Etowah and may be reached by calling 423-263-9475.

NEW YORK, April 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds investors of PLAYSTUDIOS, Inc. f/k/a Acies Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: MYPS, MYPSW, ACAC) who: (1) purchased, or otherwise acquired the securities of PLAYSTUDIOS between June 22, 2021 and March 1, 2022, both dates inclusive, including, but not limited to, those who purchased or acquired PLAYSTUDIOS securities pursuant to the PIPE offering; (2) held common stock of Acies as of May 25, 2021, and were eligible to vote at Acies' June 16, 2021 special meeting; and/or (3) purchased or otherwise acquired PLAYSTUDIOS common stock pursuant to or traceable to the Acies' Registration Statement and Proxy Statement issued in connection with the June 2021 Merger (the "Class Period"), of the important June 6, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased PLAYSTUDIOS securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the PLAYSTUDIOS class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=5097 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than June 6, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) PLAYSTUDIOS was having significant problems with its flagship game, Kingdom Boss; (2) PLAYSTUDIOS would not be releasing Kingdom Boss as expected; (3) PLAYSTUDIOS had not revised its financial projections to account for the problems it had encountered with Kingdom Boss; and (4) as a result, defendants' statements about PLAYSTUDIOS' business, operations, and prospects lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the PLAYSTUDIOS class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=5097 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

First the 1920s and now the 1950s, Baz Luhrmann is holding a microscope up to 20th century Americana.
The Australian filmmaker shared a sneak peek at upcoming Elvis Presley biopic “Elvis” during the Warner Bros. Discovery CinemaCon panel in Las Vegas on April 26, ahead of the film’s upcoming premiere at 2022 Cannes.
“This is not really a biopic,” Luhrmann said on stage. “It’s really for me about America in the 50s and 60s and 70s. If you want to talk about America in the 50s and 60s and 70s, at the center of culture, for the good the bad and the ugly, was Elvis.”
Luhrmann continued, “Shakespeare would explore culture through kings.”
So, why not focus on “The King” himself, Presley?
“If it feels a bit like a superhero film, it is,” Luhrmann added. “Because actually Elvis is like the original superhero.”
According to writer-director Luhrmann, “Elvis” is told through the “prism” of Presley’s manager Colonel Tom Parker, played by Tom Hanks, or if you will, Elvis’ “kryptonite.” The film stars triple threat Disney alum Austin Butler in the titular role, along with Olivia DeJonge playing Priscilla, Kodi Smit-McPhee as country legend Jimmie Rodgers, Yola Quartey as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and Kelvin Harrison Jr. playing B.B. King. The film will be released in theaters on June 24.
Despite not being a direct biopic, Luhrmann said he relied on historical accuracy with a slight heightened flair.
“I’d say it’s my kind of film,” the “Moulin Rouge!” director said. “But it’s more grounded and I guess right out of the gate more accessible to audiences.”
Lead star Butler was also in attendance at CinemaCon and gushed about collaborating with Luhrmann.
“I was over the moon,” Butler said about being cast in the role. “To get to explore the life of Elvis and for as long as we got to do it and then to get to work with Baz who I truly believe is one of the greatest filmmakers cinema has ever had, what a joy.”
The “Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood” star sings all of the “young Elvis” tracks in the film, as Luhrmann clarified “old Elvis” songs are sampled from the real-life crooner.
Luhrmann noted that his approach to the soundtrack for “Elvis” was similar to how he worked with Jay-Z on “Great Gatsby,” which famously included a haunting track by Lana del Rey.
“You will hear the classics, you will see the story of Elvis,” Luhrmann explained, “but we’ve also translated that for a younger generation.”
Luhrmann cited Doja Cat’s performance at Coachella among modern inspirations before sharing footage of Butler as Presley performing at a segregated concert in the South. Doja Cat’s “Vegas” incorporates Presley’s “Hound Dog,” and Luhrmann noted that the film is not finished yet when it comes to mixing tracks.
The Warner Bros. Discovery panel also revealed a first look at “Barbie” with lead star and producer Margot Robbie shown as the Mattel doll come to life. “Barbie” will be released in theaters on July 21, 2023.
