Finland is preparing to cut off natural gas supplies from Russia in May, the Helsingin Sanomat newspaper reports.
Russian energy giant Gazprom has asked the Finnish state-owned energy company Gasum to give a response before May 20 regarding Russia’s request to receive payments for gas in rubles. According to Helsingin Sanomat, Finland, as well as most of Europe, could cut off Russian gas supplies on May 21.
Finnish officials say that without Russian gas, Finland will need to search for alternative sources, such as the Baltic Connector pipeline, or reduce production.
Finnish Minister of European Affairs and Ownership Steering Tytti Tuppurainen said on Wednesday that Finland had decided not to agree to Russia’s terms on ruble payments for gas.
Meanwhile, Gazprom has an active contract with Gasum. At the start of April, Gazprom sent a letter to Gasum, notifying the company of the new terms of their contract, namely the provision to pay for gas in the Russian national currency.
In late March, Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed the government and Gazprom to switch gas payments by countries that have imposed sanctions on Russia to rubles. This came after several countries imposed restrictions on Russia in response to its special military operation in Ukraine. | https://www.thestatesman.com/world/finland-getting-ready-cut-off-russian-gas-supplies-may-reports-2-1503066375.html | 2022-05-01T02:54:52Z | https://www.thestatesman.com/world/finland-getting-ready-cut-off-russian-gas-supplies-may-reports-2-1503066375.html | true | 3 |

MANHATTAN, Kan. – Kansas State quarterback Skylar Thompson and defensive back Russ Yeast were selected during the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft on Saturday. Thompson was taken by the Miami Dolphins with the 247th selection, while Yeast was chosen six picks later – No. 253 – by the Los Angeles Rams.
With the selections, Kansas State has had at least one player drafted in 28 of the last 29 years. It was the 16th time during that stretch that multiple Wildcats were selected.
Thompson became the fourth Wildcat selected by Miami all-time and the first since running back Daniel Thomas in 2011. He is the first K-State quarterback selected in the NFL Draft since Josh Freeman was selected by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with the 17th overall pick in 2009. Yeast is the first Wildcat taken by the Rams since defensive back Jerametrius Butler was selected by the organization in 2001 when it was located in St. Louis, while he is the sixth Wildcat all-time chosen by the Rams.
Thompson played in 45 career games with 40 starts over parts of five seasons. His 40 starts and 24 career wins as a starting quarterback are the most among all K-State signal callers since at least 1990, while he is the only player in school history with 6,000 passing yards and 1,000 rushing yards in a career.
A product Independence, Missouri, Thompson set the K-State career record for lowest interception percentage (1.81), a figure that ranks seventh in Big 12 history. He also ranks second in passing touchdowns (42), passing yards (7,134), completions (552) and total offense yards (8,221), while he is third in touchdowns responsible for (68), completion percentage (62.4%) and passing attempts (855).
During his final campaign of 2021, Thompson set the school record in single-season completion percentage (59.53%), while he ranked second in school history in passing efficiency (159.3). Additionally, Thompson was eighth nationally and tops in the Big 12 in passing yards per attempt (9.07).
Thompson went out on top during his final game as a Wildcat, helping K-State capture its eighth win with a 42-20 victory over LSU in the Texas Bowl. He went 21-of-28 for 259 yards and a career-high tying three touchdowns with no interceptions against the Tigers en route to Texas Bowl MVP honors. Thompson tied for second in K-State bowl history in completions and completion percentage (75.0), tied for third in touchdown passes, ranked sixth in passing yards and tied for eighth in passing attempts.
Yeast, a transfer from Louisville, made a major impact during his lone season in Manhattan as he was a First Team All-Big 12 performer by the league’s coaches in 2021 after recording 48 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, four interceptions and 14 total passes defended. Yeast, who also earned votes for the Big 12 Defensive Newcomer of the Year award, led the Big 12 in total passes defended (14), carding at least one in 10 of his 13 games played, while he ranked 14th in the nation and second in the Big 12 in interceptions (4). Over his five-year college career, Yeast totaled 185 tackles, five interceptions and 24 total passes defended.
With the conclusion of the 2022 NFL Draft, other Wildcats will now sign free agent contracts, and those will be announced once they are released by their respective NFL clubs. | https://www.ksal.com/k-states-thompson-yeast-selected-in-2022-nfl-draft/ | 2022-05-01T02:58:56Z | https://www.ksal.com/k-states-thompson-yeast-selected-in-2022-nfl-draft/ | true | 1 |
Budget carriers reopen, expand Guam routes amid eased COVID-19 entry curbs
SEOUL, May 1 (Yonhap) -- Jeju Air Co., South Korea's biggest low-cost carrier, said Sunday it will offer more flights to Guam starting this month to meet the growing travel demand amid relaxed COVID-19 entry restrictions.
Jeju Air will run four flights a week for the Incheon-Guam route, from the current two, the company said in a release. It plans to add more flights to the Incheon-Saipan route that currently operates two flights a week.
Air Busan Co., a budget carrier unit of Asiana Airlines Inc., also said it has resumed the Busan-Guam route with two flights a week.
Air Busan had reopened the Guam route in November last year but had to shut it down over the spread of the omicron variant.
The flight resumption came as South Korea lifted the mandatory quarantine for fully vaccinated international travelers from late March.
Starting in June, inbound travelers will be required to hand in a negative COVID-19 result only once upon their arrival.
Seoul plans to gradually lift the quarantine requirement for unvaccinated travelers as well amid a slowing virus trend.

BEIJING (AP) — Rescuers in central China have pulled out alive five of 23 people trapped in a partially collapsed building, authorities said Saturday, while President Xi Jinping gave instructions to rescue the victims “at all costs.”
The six-story building in the city of Changsha partially collapsed on Friday. State broadcaster CCTV reported that the collapse trapped some 23 people who were in the building. But authorities also said that 39 others who were present around the site of the building when it toppled remain uncontactable, and rescue operations were underway.
Authorities said at a news conference that the five people who were rescued were in stable condition in a hospital.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the building housed a restaurant, a coffeeshop, a hotel, and several apartments, CCTV reported.
The tenants had made structural changes to the premises, and the exact cause of the collapse is still being investigated, the report said.
Following an increase in the number of self-built building collapses in recent years, Xi also said that it was necessary to check on such structures to investigate any hidden dangers and fix them in a timely manner to prevent the occurrence of major accidents, according to state-run news agency Xinhua.
Photos showed the front of the building largely intact, while the rear section appeared to have collapsed into itself.
Poor adherence to safety standards, including the illegal addition of extra floors and failure to use reinforcing iron bars, is often blamed for such disasters. | https://www.newsnationnow.com/world/international-headlines/5-rescued-from-building-collapse-in-china-dozens-missing/ | 2022-05-01T03:14:30Z | https://www.newsnationnow.com/world/international-headlines/5-rescued-from-building-collapse-in-china-dozens-missing/ | true | 25 |

Forever England — Jerusalem is still a remarkable play
Mark Rylance evokes English liberty in all its complicated glory
Jerusalem
Apollo Theatre, London W1
★★★★★
The Corn Is Green
National Theatre (Lyttelton), London SE1
★★★☆☆
At the end of Jerusalem I caught Mark Rylance’s face: bloodied, unbowed, dazed by the effort. For three hours the 62-year-old actor focused his all on playing Johnny “Rooster” Byron, Wiltshire cockerel, drug dealer, Pied Piper and scorner of rules. In modern drama there is no greater embodiment of English liberty. Told to shift his caravan from a wood outside an expanding village, Rooster refuses. Residents of a new housing estate have signed a petition. Officialdom, with its high-viz tabards and eviction notices, thinks it can finally uproot and tame him. Rooster stands his ground.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Turns out the New York Yankees can win ballgames even when they don't put one out of the park.
It helps having Gerrit Cole on the mound.
The Cy Young runner-up a year ago tossed six sharp innings, the Yankees resorted to manufacturing runs against sloppy Kansas City pitching, and New York beat the Royals 3-0 Saturday night for its eighth straight win.
“No question, when you want to be a complete team and a really good one, you have to find ways at times to win in different ways,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “I thought the pitching staff led by Gerrit made really good pitches.”
Cole (2-0) allowed five hits and two walks while striking out six in another dominant start at Kauffman Stadium. The hard-throwing right-hander has allowed only two earned runs in 21 1/3 innings in the pitcher-friendly ballpark.
Aroldis Chapman worked a perfect ninth for his fifth save, helping the Yankees improve to 15-6 — just the fifth time since 1959 that the 27-time World Series champions have won at least 15 of their first 21 games.
Normally a power-hitting team, one that had hit 18 homers in its previous seven games, the Yankees saw Gleyber Torres and Isiah Kiner-Falefa manage sacrifice flies off inconsistent Royals starter Carlos Hernandez (0-1) but little else.
“We're winning now,” Cole said. “That's all we're focused on.”
Hernandez walked five of the first 15 batters he faced and, at one point, had thrown more balls (37) than strikes (36). But the young right-hander limited the damage against a Yankees lineup that loves to inflict it.
Hernandez worked around a walk in the first, then loaded the bases with nobody out in the second but allowed just one run thanks to a double play and a groundout. Hernandez loaded them again with one out in the third, gave up a sacrifice fly, then watched Salvador Perez throw out Anthony Rizzo at third base to end the inning.
The Yankees also drew a leadoff walk in the fourth and scored on another sacrifice fly, giving them a 3-0 lead.
With Cole on the mound, that's usually enough.
He would've set down the first eight batters he faced if not for Kiner-Falefa's miscue at shortstop, ending the Yankees' 13-game errorless streak. Cole's command escaped him briefly in the third, but he got Nicky Lopez to fly out to leave the bases loaded. And in the fourth, Cole froze Bobby Witt Jr. and Kyle Isbel to strand runners on second and third.
Miguel Castro and Clay Holmes each pitched a scoreless inning before Chapman finished things off.
“You give up five walks to a potent offense, it’s going to eventually catch up to you,” Royals manager Mike Matheny said. “We had a couple of chances with runners on second and third and they made pitches when he needed to.”
JUDGE ME NOT
Yankees slugger Aaron Judge got his scheduled day off Saturday, even though he's hit three homers in his last four games and five in his last seven. Judge also has hit safely in nine of his last 10 with 12 RBIs over that span.
“It's always hard to have him out,” Boone said, “but I was going to be pretty disciplined about it with another day game (Sunday) after a night game and then going to the turf in Toronto.”
NICE DUDS
The Royals debuted their “City Connect Series” jerseys featuring art deco-inspired graphics, a nod to the crown of Kauffman Stadium and the fountains of Kansas City, and the deep blue color that the team wore in the 1970s and ’80s.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Yankees: LF Joey Gallo left the game with tightness in his left groin. “I'm not concerned," he said. “It just tightened up on me a little bit.” ... C Ben Rortvedt (right oblique) had a recent exam that showed no trace of the strain he sustained in February, though his return date is still unclear. “He's doing well and over the injury now,” Boone said.
Royals: Witt was hit on his wrist in the eighth inning but remained in the game. “He's going to be a little bit sore,” Matheny said, “but everything we've seen so far, he's going to be OK.” ... LHP Jake Brentz went on the injured list Saturday with a left flexor strain and RHP Matt Peacock was recalled from Triple-A Omaha to replace him.
UP NEXT
RHP Luis Severino (2-0, 3.32) is up for the Yankees and LHP Daniel Lynch (2-1, 3.38) for the Royals in Sunday's finale.

Former Wisconsin First Lady dies of Alzheimer's disease
Wisconsin is mourning the passing of a former first lady.
Elaine Schreiber died of Alzheimer's disease after passing away in her sleep Monday morning at the age of 82.
TMJ4's Carole Meekins headed to the Alzheimer's Association on Tuesday. It is a place that has an information room dedicated to Elaine.
Meekins previously had the chance to sit down with Gov. Marty Schreiber and Elaine. The governor talked about coping with Alzheimer's and the love of his life.
Marty was a caregiver for his wife for a decade. During that time, he realized there was little information out there for people like him, so he wrote a book to help caregivers cope. His journey is one of dedication, commitment, and love.
Their love story began when the governor saw Elaine in high school Latin class when he was 14-years-old.
"She had a sparkle in her eye, and a warmth about her," Marty told TMJ4 News. "She just seemed to be the perfect person."
That connection gave birth to a life of togetherness, four children, and Elaine stood by her man's political aspirations.
"She did so much for me and to know I have an opportunity to give her comfort, it means an awful lot," Marty said.
Today, the former governor devotes his life to Alzheimer's awareness. He describes the disease by a quote from author Vivian Green, "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning how to dance in the rain."
Marty has always said we need to pay attention to caregivers when it comes to Alzheimer's. His book "My Two Elaine's" has won international acclaim. All proceeds go to Alzheimer's efforts many at the Alzheimer's Association in Milwaukee.
Meekins talked to Wendy Betley on Tuesday. Betley is a senior program director for the Alzheimer's Association and she discussed how Elaine's memory has helped raise money for Alzheimer's causes.

The Miami Dolphins may not have drafted a center in the 2022 NFL draft, but a lineman who can play the position was among undrafted free agents picked up by the team following the draft.
Arkansas alum Ty Clary is one of the double-digit undrafted prospects the team is signing in the aftermath of the draft on Saturday night. Clary alternated between guard and center for the Razorbacks and even played his entire junior season in 2019 as a starting center.
In addition to Clary, the Dolphins, according to a league source, are expected to sign: Miami Hurricanes defensive end Deandre Johnson, Ole Miss wide receiver Braylon Sanders, South Carolina running back ZaQuandre White, Minnesota offensive lineman Blaise Andries, Arizona State tackle Kellen Diesch, Oregon safety Verone McKinley III, FIU punter Tommy Heatherly, Louisiana Tech defensive back Elijah Hamilton and Texas A&M-Commerce defensive back Kader Kohou. Nebraska also announced Cornhuskers defensive lineman Ben Stille was heading to Miami.
“We’re in the process of working through that here as the draft ends,” Dolphins general manager Chris Grier said Saturday night following Miami’s four picks. “We’ll be signing players, like always, and getting ready for the rookie minicamp.”
With just four draft picks, the Dolphins have the roster space and owner Steve Ross’ willingness to spend as an edge on other teams looking to sign top undrafted prospects.
“End of the day, the good players that are left, it always gets very competitive with the money,” Grier said.
Last year, the Dolphins gave offensive lineman Robert Jones $100,000 in guaranteed money as a priority free agent who ended up making Miami’s active roster and starting the regular-season finale. Seventh-round picks generally pull in a little more than $100,000 in signing bonus money, but their contracts aren’t guaranteed.
Center was a position Miami was expected to address in the draft with Michael Deiter, who missed half of last season with a foot injury and more career experience at guard, the only player on the roster at the position. Grier said the Dolphins had draft targets at various positions they wanted to trade up for, but teams wouldn’t bite on a deal. They stuck to their draft board when their picks arrived.
“We wanted competition at every position,” Grier said. “We still do have some competition with the offensive line group, with what we’ve gone through here in the spring. [Coach] Mike [McDaniel] and the coaching staff have been very excited about the group.”
Two of the undrafted pickups, Johnson and Heatherly, remain in Miami, where they played college football for UM and FIU, respectively. Johnson is a tall, lean pass rusher who had 4 1/2 sacks last season and also played in high school at Miami Southridge. Heatherly brings another punting leg to the roster after the team signed veteran Thomas Morstead this offseason.
McKinley reunites with his former Ducks safety mate Jevon Holland with the Dolphins after Holland’s standout rookie campaign as an early second-round pick in 2021. He had six interceptions and 77 tackles for Oregon last season.
As opposed to Clary, Minnesota’s Andries did not play center in college, which is the only position on the line he didn’t play among his career starts for the Golden Gophers. Diesch played exclusively at left tackle at ASU after transferring to the Sun Devils following four years as a reserve at Texas A&M.
Sanders had 24 receptions for 549 yards and four touchdowns at Ole Miss last season. White rushed for 583 yards on 88 carries for the Gamecocks last season after originally going to Florida State to play linebacker earlier in his career.
Hamilton finished his college career at La. Tech after initially playing for Vanderbilt. He had 20-plus tackles each of his last two seasons at the two schools.
Stille, at 6-5, 290, is capable of lining up in multiple spots along the defensive line. He finished his career at Nebraska with 20 consecutive starts and collected 42 tackles, six for loss, and 1 1/2 sacks in 2021.
The Dolphins are likely to sign upwards of a dozen total undrafted players to fill out the training camp roster.
Miami drafted Georgia linebacker Channing Tindall in the third round, Texas Tech wide receiver Erik Ezukanma in the fourth and California outside linebacker Cameron Goode and Kansas State quarterback Skylar Thompson as seventh-round selections.

U.S., European shares advance as euro dives to lowest since 2017
WASHINGTON/LONDON, April 27 (Reuters) - Key U.S. equity indexes ended higher after choppy trade on Wednesday on a boost from strong earnings from Microsoft and Visa, as commodity stocks lifted European shares to their first gain in four sessions.
The euro dropped to its weakest since 2017 after Russia halted gas supplies to Bulgaria and Poland, and investors fretted more about the region's economy.
The dollar continued its surge, on course for its biggest monthly gain since January 2015 as expectations mounted that the U.S. Federal Reserve will hike interest rates aggressively in coming months and the American economy will be stronger than the euro zone.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI) rose 0.19% to end at 33,301.93 points, while the S&P 500 (.SPX) gained 0.21% to 4,183.92.
The Nasdaq Composite (.IXIC) dropped 0.01% to 12,488.93.
Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O) jumped 4.8% % and Visa Inc (V.N) surged 6.5%% on strong earnings, helping boost the S&P 500.
Some of Wall Street's biggest names have reported results this week, with investors seeking a counterweight to the deluge of negative news that has pounded stocks. read more
Google-parent Alphabet Inc (GOOGL.O) fell 3.6% as slowing YouTube ad sales pushed quarterly revenue below expectations. Boeing Co (BA.N) dropped 7.5% after it disclosed $1.5 billion in abnormal costs from halting 777X production. read more
The pan-European STOXX 600 (.STOXX) rose 0.7% after having hit six-week lows at the open, with miners (.SXPP) and oil stocks (.SXEP) both gaining.
German shares (.GDAXI), which underperformed through the session, rallied at the close.
European corporate earnings were mixed. Credit Suisse reported another quarterly loss and Deutsche Bank warned the Russia-Ukraine conflict could hurt annual earnings. read more
Russia cut the flow of natural gas to Bulgaria and Poland for rejecting its demand to pay in roubles, taking direct aim at European economies. This led investors to sell euros and snap up U.S. dollars. read more
MSCI's benchmark for global equity markets (.MIWD00000PUS) retreated 0.17%. Emerging markets stocks (.MSCIEF) fell 0.54%.
U.S. Treasury yields rose, as investors awaited greater clarity on the "restrictive" policy the Fed plans to pursue next week to combat inflation by curbing economic growth.
The euro dropped as low as $1.0512 , its weakest against the dollar since May 2017. Analysts cited the war in Ukraine and growing concerns that the bloc's economy will fall into recession this year.
"The euro's blatant inability to rally on hawkish comments by European Central Bank members means lingering vulnerability to an external environment negatively affected by an ever-concerning situation in Ukraine and generalized USD strength," ING FX strategists wrote in a note to clients.
The dollar index measuring the greenback against a basket of rivals, hit a five-year high.
"The U.S. dollar benefits from the prospect of an ongoing flight to safety liquidity bid," said Jeremy Stretch, head of G10 FX strategy at CIBC.
CHINESE REBOUND
There was more selling in Asia, with MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan (.MIAPJ0000PUS) down 0.82% after hitting its lowest since mid-March. Tokyo's Nikkei (.N225) fell 1.17%.
Australian shares (.AXJO) lost 0.78% as inflation hit a 20-year high, bringing interest rate rises closer. read more
Battered Chinese stocks (.CSI300) bucked the trend, gaining almost 3% as data showed faster profit growth at industrial firms in March than a year earlier. read more
In the previous session, China stocks fell to their lowest in two years on fears that persistent COVID lockdowns would hurt economic activity and disrupt global supply chains. read more
Oil prices edged higher on ongoing global supply concerns, with Brent crude futures finishing up 33 cents to $105.32 a barrel and U.S. crude settling up 32 cents at $102.02 a barrel.
Spot gold prices hit a more than two-month low and were last down 1.05% by 4:34 p.m. EST (2034 GMT), under pressure from the dollar's rally. U.S. gold futures GCv1 settled down 0.8% at $1,888.70 per ounce.

Stagecoach 2022: Everything we ate at the country music festival — and our thoughts on it
The Stagecoach country music festival is known for a lot of things, but one of the main things that stands out in our mind (and stomach) is the food.
Barbecue fanatics will love the many smoked meats and yummy sides offered, especially at TV host Guy Fieri's Stagecoach Smokehouse, but there's also plenty of options for vegans and vegetarians to enjoy. Here's some of The Desert Sun staff's picks for food you should be chowing on this weekend.
Pulled pork sandwich and fries at Taste of Soul
There's a fair share of barbecue on display at Stagecoach, and Taste of Soul is a great booth to get your fill at. Their selection includes mac and cheese, fries and brisket and pulled pork sandwiches. The pulled pork tastes sweet and smoky and rests in between two soft buns. The seasoned fries are the perfect pairing, although mac and cheese would make a great side as well. $19
Brisket from Bludso's Bar & Cue
The Los Angeles-based Bludso's Bar & Cue had a lot of offerings to choose from. Full and half-racks of pork ribs, brisket, sausage and sides such as jalapeno cornbread and watermelon. For those who want to forgo side dishes and get straight to the meat, the half-pound brisket is the best way to go. It's smoky flavor also has a little bit of spice. $22
Vegetarian baked potato and corn from Merchain's BBQ
One of us was looking for a non-meat option Saturday, and Merchain's BBQ had the best options by far in the Guy's Stagecoach Smokehouse area. The baked potato was smothered in corn, sour cream, chives and BBQ sauce, and though we would have loved a little pack of butter to smother on the skin when the toppings were all gone, it still hit the spot. The local corn was also a tasty option, impressing even our Midwestern features editor. $15 for baked potato, $9 for corn | https://www.desertsun.com/story/life/entertainment/music/stagecoach/2022/04/30/stagecoach-2022-foods-keep-your-eyes-during-country-festival/9591728002/ | 2022-05-01T03:44:36Z | https://www.desertsun.com/story/life/entertainment/music/stagecoach/2022/04/30/stagecoach-2022-foods-keep-your-eyes-during-country-festival/9591728002/ | false | 1 |
Governor’s Art Show gives Colorado artists space to shine
LOVELAND, Colo. (KDVR) – Looking for a chance to see some amazing art at a local art show that features only Colorado artists? Dan Daru has the scoop on the Governor’s Art Show .
It is the largest art show in Colorado featuring only local artists. The participating artists were prescreened and approved prior to being invited.
First, a clarifier. It is called the Governor’s Art Show but it is not affiliated with any political party. It is just a name the organizers thought would generate interest when it began 31 years ago.
Outdoorsman crafts custom art with license platesBut it is an all Colorado artist exhibit featuring 60 Colorado-based creators from around the state.
“I think that it’s important that we showcase the talent that we have in this state,” Craig Van Wechel, a Governor’s Art Show committee member, said.
Consisting mostly of paintings and sculptures, the show most definitely is inspired by the 38th state. And inspiration comes in all shapes and colors, like a box of donuts for Denver painter Greg Block.
“I call this a painting. And the inspiration was like anything that inspires me, which is the color, shape, texture and composition,” Block said.
Artist hopes to mold clay, students and communityFormer Disney animator and now sculptor Ellen Woodbury said she moved to Loveland because it is a sculpture town.
“Loveland has four fine art bronze foundries which is incredible for a community of this size,” she said.
You do not have to be a sommelier to like wine, and you do not have to be an art critic to like art.
The art show is juried which means the artists are judged before being invited. The show opens Saturday, April 23 and runs through Sunday, May 22.

Hayes rallies Pirates to 7-6 win over Padres in 10 innings
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Ke’Bryan Hayes singled in the tying run and scored the winning run on an error as the Pittsburgh Pirates scored twice in the bottom of the 10th inning to beat the San Diego Padres 7-6 on Saturday night.
Hayes hit a leadoff single into center field off Luis Garcia (0-1) that scored automatic runner Jake Marisnick with the tying run. First baseman Eric Hosmer then misplayed Bryan Reynolds’ hard ground ball. The ball rolled down the right-field line and Hayes scored from first base.
“That was great instinctual baserunning on Ke’Bryan’s part,” Pirates manager Derek Shelton said. “That’s the kind of play you send to the player development people.”
Hayes was originally called out by home plate umpire Mark Wegner. However, video replay showed Hayes beat second baseman Jake Cronenworth’s relay throw and the call was overturned.
“I felt where (catcher Jorge) Alfaro tagged me and I knew my arm had gotten in there and there was no way I was out,” Hayes said. “Once the ball got behind Hosmer, I thought I had a chance to score. I started running as hard as I could and turned on the jets. I didn’t slow down, even when I was rounding third base.”
The Pirates ended their four-game losing streak and snapped the Padres’ four-game winning streak.
“The Padres have a very good team,” Hayes said. “It’s a good win for us to come back like we did.”
Trent Grisham singled in the go-ahead run in the top of the 10th off Chris Stratton (2-1).
Hosmer and Manny Machado homered for the Padres. Hosmer’s .389 batting average leads the big leagues and Machado tops the majors with 32 hits.
Michael Chavis tied the score at 5-5 by lining a two-run home run to left field in the bottom of the eighth inning off Steven Wilson. It was Pittsburgh’s first homer in seven games.
That came after Machado belted a two-run shot in the top of the inning to center field off David Bednar to put the Padres ahead.
“We felt pretty good after Manny’s home run but sometimes things don’t play out the way you hope,” San Diego manager Bob Melvin said. “Unfortunately, we didn’t finish out a game that we’ve been finishing out all year.”
The Padres’ Sean Manaea went 6 2/3 innings and gave up three runs and five hits while striking out six and walking three. San Diego starters have pitched at least six innings in 12 of 22 games this season.
Pittsburgh’s JT Brubaker also allowed three runs and five hits while pitching five innings. He had four strikeouts and one walk.
The Pirates have yet to have a starting pitcher record a win in 21 games this season. That ties the major league record to begin a season set by the Baltimore Orioles in 1989 when they started the year 0-21.
The Pirates scored twice in the fifth inning to knot the score at 3-all when Josh VanMeter hit an RBI double and scored on Reynolds’ fielder’s choice.
Hosmer put the Padres ahead 3-1 an inning earlier with an opposite-field drive into the left-field bleachers for his third homer.
Chavis’ RBI single in the first inning for the Pirates opened the scoring.
Marisnick saved two hits with diving catches in left field, robbing Ha-Seong Kim to end the sixth inning and Grisham to start the eighth.
CRUZ ON HOLD
With Pirates shortstop Kevin Newman going on the injured list earlier this week with a left groin strain, there has been clamoring by fans for Oneil Cruz, considered the organization’s top prospect, to be called up from Triple-A Indianapolis.
However, the 6-foot-7 Cruz went into Saturday hitting .188 with one home run in 18 games. Pirates general manager Ben Cherington believes the 23-year-old needs more developmental time.
“We want to do our job to try to put him a position to be as successful a big leaguer as possible when it’s his time,” Cherington said. “Sometimes that means really spending a little bit of time working on things in the minor leagues.”
Rookie Diego Castillo has started all four games at shortstop since Newman was injured.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Padres: RHP Mike Clevinger (Tommy John surgery) is scheduled to be activated from the IL on Tuesday and start at Cleveland. It will be his first major league appearance since the 2020 postseason.
Pirates: INF/OF Cole Tucker was activated from the COVID-19 IL and INF/OF Tucupita Marcano was optioned to Double-A Altoona.
UP NEXT
Padres: RHP Joe Musgrove (3-0, 2.16 ERA) will start Sunday – weather permitting as the forecast calls for all-day rain. He has not allowed more than two earned runs in any of his four starts this season
Pirates: RHP Mitch Keller (0-3, 6.62) has gone 11 straight starts without winning at PNC Park, dating to last May 29. Pittsburgh will try to avoid an 0-6 homestand.

Marlon Vera scored an impressive victory in his first UFC main event earlier tonight (Sat., Apr. 30, 2022) at UFC Vegas 53 live on ESPN/ESPN+ from inside UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada, when “Chito” outlasted bantamweight contender Rob Font to the tune of a unanimous decision.
Vera landed hard leg kicks in the early going, but it was the jab and attacks to the body by Font that did the most damage. “Chito” opened up more in the second round with body kicks and forward combinations. Font responded with more body shots and crisp punches down the pipe. Vera came out of nowhere to end the second with a big left that dropped Font and nearly ended the fight.
Font kept the volume up in the third, but Vera had a noticeable power advantage. Towards the end of the frame “Chito” launched a perfectly-timed knee that caught Font and left him on skates. Vera rushed in for the finish but Font was saved by the bell again. Vera struck again in the fourth when he landed a side kick from hell directly to Font’s face. Somehow Font survived and even returned to his feet to land more strikes.
Despite a battered and bloody face Font kept plodding forward in the fifth round as he surpassed 200 total strikes. Vera was right there to counter with heavier shots, but Font’s persistence allowed him to control the action. That was before Vera landed another late-round attack with a flush head kick. In the end, the judges awarded Vera with the decision.

Strapped, wrapped and ready to defend!
Manufacturers these days enjoy the craze of fulfilling their lots with an assortment of vehicles for all types of consumers. From sedans to SUVs to off-road machines, the joyfulness of consumer loyalty is at an all time high.
For Land Rover, that’s the status quo. In Grasso’s Garage this week, it’s Land Rover’s 2021 Defender 90 First Edition. Although it’s last year’s model, to experience the first edition was actually really enjoyable. This two-door Defender version is made for just about everything, although off-road is where the thrills begin.
Keep in mind, Land Rover and its British-like manufacturing culture is specifically designed to enjoy “The Great Outdoors.”
The consumer cult of Land Rover enjoy the upscale type SUV market while specifically understanding they are not the most reliable, but certainly look absolutely stunning. As the reliability continues to be top of mind, we focus directly on its strategic efforts to improve consumer satisfaction.
A powerful 395 horsepower six-cylinder engine with 406 lb.-ft. of torque is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, making sure to top the enjoyment list. The rugged Defender 90 is just that, rugged and defends the Land Rover nameplate perfectly.
Although our Defender 90 First Edition is very basic and does not bring the frills and thrills, its basic entry level model really shows what Land Rover has to offer. Cloth seats, front row jump seat, 10” infotainment system with touchscreen and navigation, SiriusXM, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Also standard came the folding fabric “ragtop” roof which was a nice feature that we enjoyed. Seating was comfortable and it had great leg room in the back seats as well as the front.
On the outside, the Defender 90 is boxy, it’s off-road, it’s rugged and it’s awesome. It boasts great ride height, and is nicely designed and well put together.
“The Land Rover Defender 90 is the newest and most off-road capable SUV from the British luxury brand,” said Karl Brauer, executive analyst for iSeeCars.com. “It launched with exceptional off-road specifications and technical features, and has just been upgraded with an optional supercharged V8 engine. The added power is accompanied by more confident on-road dynamics, yet it doesn’t compromise the Defender’s off-road prowess, creating one of the most widely capable and appealing SUVs on the market.”
For Land Rover, it’s all about off-road usage, while maintaining the luxury status. The Defender 90 is not your average Jeep Wrangler or Ford Bronco. Although similar in boxy style and off-road usage, the Defender 90 is really a sweet vehicle for the Grasso’s Garage fleet.

George Edward McGaw, 90, of Portsmouth, R.I. died Thursday, April 28, at his home at the Hummocks.
Born in Fall River, Nov. 18, 1931, to George and Olive (Touhey) McGaw, he lived in Fall River in his youth and graduated from BMC Durfee High School. He was a 1955 graduate of Fitchburg Teachers College (now known as Fitchburg University) with a B.S. in education, specializing in industrial arts. While there he was captain of the basketball team and president of his fraternity. At a freshmen “get acquainted dance,” he met the love of his life, Carolese (Lee) Burbage. They married in April 1956.
After graduation, he joined the U.S. Navy and trained to be a pilot. He specialized as a helicopter pilot and carrier landings for antisubmarine detection. He stayed in the Navy five years and in the Navy Reserves, five more, and retired as a lieutenant commander.
As a civilian, he had his first teaching job in Fall River, then Fairhaven, Mass. When Portsmouth High School opened in 1963, he became part of the initial staff and stayed there until retirement in 1990. He taught industrial arts and touched the lives of the many students who came through his classroom. He was the first athletic director at PHS, and one of the inaugural honorees in the PHS Athletic Hall of Fame in 2017.
While teaching, he designed and constructed the family home at the Hummocks, including all the granite work that surrounds it, with his own hands. It’s still a treasured place for grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He and Lee had many happy years on the water – boating, swimming, quahogging and later taking cruises and spending 25 winters in Florida.
The last few years were plagued with illness, but George never gave up. He was an extra-special man – honest, kind, loving and gentle. He never had an enemy.
In addition to his wife, he leaves behind two sons, Michael McGaw of Tiverton; James McGaw and wife, Michelle, of Portsmouth; and he was predeceased by son Christopher McGaw. He also leaves his grandchildren, Meryl, Zachary, Kyle and his wife Jerrica, Nicholas, Jake, and Max; and great-grandchildren Logan, Frances, Rowan, and Ryland.
He will be missed desperately.
Visiting hours are from 4-7 p.m. on Wednesday, May 4, at Connors Funeral Home, 55 West Main Road, Portsmouth, Burial services and funeral will be private.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the PHS Athletic Boosters, P.O. Box 438, Portsmouth, RI 02871.

KHARKIV, Ukraine (AP) — Some women and children were evacuated from a steel plant that is the last defensive stronghold in the bombed-out ruins of the port city of Mariupol, a Ukrainian official and Russian state news organizations said, but hundreds are believed to remain trapped with little food or water.
The United Nations was working to broker an evacuation of the up to 1,000 civilians living beneath the sprawling Soviet-era Azovstal plant after numerous previous attempts failed. Ukraine has not said how many fighters are also in the plant, the only part of Mariupol not occupied by Russian forces, but Russia put the number at about 2,000. An estimated 100,000 civilians remain in the city.
Russian forces have embarked on a major military operation to seize significant parts of southern and eastern Ukraine, the country’s industrial heartland. Ukrainian forces fought village by village Saturday to hold back the Russian advance.
Russia's RIA Novosti news agency said Saturday that 19 adults and six children were brought out from the steelworks, but gave no further details.
A top official with the Azov Regiment, the Ukrainian unit defending the plant, said 20 civilians were evacuated during a cease-fire, though it was not clear if he was referring to the same group. There was no confirmation from the U.N.
“These are women and children,” Sviatoslav Palamar said in a video posted on the regiment's Telegram channel. He also called for the evacuation of the wounded: “We don’t know why they are not taken away and their evacuation to the territory controlled by Ukraine is not being discussed.”
Video and images from inside the plant, shared with The Associated Press by two Ukrainian women who said their husbands are among the fighters refusing to surrender there, showed unidentified men with stained bandages; others had open wounds or amputated limbs.
A skeleton medical staff was treating at least 600 wounded people, said the women, who identified their husbands as members of the Azov Regiment of Ukraine’s National Guard. Some of the wounds were rotting with gangrene, they said.
In the video the men said that they eat just once daily and share as little as 1.5 liters (50 ounces) of water a day among four people, and that supplies inside the besieged facility are depleted.
One shirtless man appeared to be in pain as he described his wounds: two broken ribs, a punctured lung and a dislocated arm that “was hanging on the flesh.”
“I want to tell everyone who sees this: If you will not stop this here, in Ukraine, it will go further, to Europe,” he said.
The AP could not independently verify the date and location of the video, which the women said was taken in the last week in the maze of corridors and bunkers beneath the plant.
The women urged that Ukrainian fighters also be evacuated alongside civilians, warning they could be tortured and executed if captured. “The lives of soldiers matter, too,” Yuliia Fedusiuk told the AP in Rome.
In his nightly video address late Saturday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy switched into Russian to urge Russian troops not to fight in Ukraine, saying even their generals expect that thousands more of them will die.
The president accused Moscow of recruiting new soldiers “with little motivation and little combat experience” so that units gutted early in the war can be thrown back into battle.
“Every Russian soldier can still save his own life,” Zelenskyy said. “It’s better for you to survive in Russia than to perish on our land.”
In other developments:
— Ukrainian Deputy Agriculture Minister Taras Vysotsky said in televised remarks that Russian forces have seized hundreds of thousands of tons of grain in territory under their control. Ukraine is a major grain producer, and the invasion has pushed up world prices and raised concerns about shortages.
— A Russian rocket attack destroyed the airport runway in Odesa, Ukraine’s third-most populous city and a key Black Sea port, the Ukrainian army said.
— The bodies of three men were found buried in a forest near the Kyiv suburb of Bucha, the head of the Kyiv region's police force said. The men, whose bodies were found Friday, had been tortured before they were shot in the head, Andriy Nebytov wrote on Facebook. Ukrainian officials have alleged that retreating Russian troops carried out mass killings of civilians in Bucha.
— Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview that Russian and Ukrainian negotiators talk “almost every day.” However, he told Chinese state news agency Xinhua, “progress has not been easy.”
— Two buses sent to evacuate residents from the eastern town of Popasna were fired upon, and contact with the organizers was lost, Mayor Nikolai Khanatov said: “We know that (the buses) reached the town and then came under fire from an enemy sabotage and reconnaissance group.”
Getting a full picture of the unfolding battle in eastern Ukraine has been difficult because airstrikes and artillery barrages have made it extremely dangerous for reporters to move around. Also, both Ukraine and Moscow-backed rebels have introduced tight restrictions on reporting from the combat zone.
But Western military analysts suggested that the offensive in the Donbas region, which includes Mariupol, was going much slower than planned. So far, Russian troops and the separatists appeared to have made only minor gains in the month since Moscow said it would focus its military strength in the east.
Numerically, Russia’s military manpower vastly exceeds Ukraine’s. In the days before the war began, Western intelligence estimated Russia had positioned near the border as many as 190,000 troops; Ukraine’s standing military totals about 200,000, spread throughout the country.
With plenty of firepower still in reserve, Russia’s offensive still could intensify and overrun the Ukrainians. Overall the Russian army has an estimated 900,000 active-duty personnel. Russia also has a much larger air force and navy.
Hundreds of millions of dollars in military assistance has flowed into Ukraine since the war began, but Russia's vast armories mean Ukraine's needs are nearly inexhaustible.
Mariupol officials have described dire shortages of food, water and medicine. U.N. humanitarian spokesman Saviano Abreu said the world organization was negotiating with authorities in Moscow and Kyiv, but he could not provide details of the ongoing evacuation effort "because of the complexity and fluidity of the operation.”
“There is, right now, ongoing, high-level engagements with all the governments, Russia and Ukraine, to make sure that you can save civilians and support the evacuation of civilians from the plant,” Abreu told the AP. He would not confirm video posted on social media purportedly showing U.N.-marked vehicles in Mariupol.
Ukraine has blamed the failure of numerous previous evacuation attempts on continued Russian shelling.

1. Morning File: Peter Kelly, the mendacious grifter, Chapter 27
Peter Kelly is back in the news because some people don’t know how to use Google. Tim Bousquet wrote about the latest in the saga on Halifax’s former mayor. This time, a chartered accountant said Kelly fired him after less than a year in the job as deputy CAO when he raised concerns around financial irregularities, among other issues. Bousquet wondered why people were always giving Kelly a pass: “Why would you hire a man who’s been exposed by multiple 20,000-word articles detailing his antics?”
2. “I didn’t know he was the devil”: women recall their experiences with the mass murderer
Tim Bousquet went through documents from the Mass Casualty Commission and had this story on women who knew the killer the Examiner calls GW, and what they told investigators about him. One woman — referred to as AA in those documents — had an “intimate relationship” with GW, who she said held open doors, and was polite, soft spoken and articulate. She told investigators, “I didn’t know he was the devil.”
3. Waiting for answers as the Lionel Desmond inquiry wraps up
Stephen Kimber said Judge Warren Zimmer, a veteran provincial court judge appointed more than four years ago to preside over the Desmond inquiry, had a lot of work to do in the coming months to answer questions about why Lionel Desmond killed his wife, daughter, mother, and then himself. Kimber wrote: “We do know enough from all the evidence presented at the inquiry that many of the systems that should have — could have — averted what happened didn’t.”

1. New Involuntary Psychiatric Treatment Act passes despite concerns
Philip Moscovitch dug into concerns with the amendments to the Involuntary Psychiatric Treatment Act, which passed this month. Moscovitch interviewed doctors, advocates, and people who’ve been hospitalized involuntarily. Advocates say the bar for involuntary hospitalizations should be high, while psychiatrists worry fewer people will receive necessary treatment.
2. Morning File: Zen and the art of moving out of Halifax
Ethan Lycan-Lang is the friend who will always help you move. For the past week, he’s been helping Leslie Amminson move out of her apartment as she prepares for an internship in Toronto. So for this Morning File, Lycan-Lang thought he’d share some advice about moving, including remembering your keys, how to sell stuff online, and where you can get free wine boxes (after you drink the wine).
3. Councillor blames Halifax Mutual Aid for alleged assault in Dartmouth park
Coun. Sam Austin sent out a statement this week in which he blamed Halifax Mutual Aid, a group of anonymous volunteers, for an assault that happened in a park where the group set up a temporary shelter. Zane Woodford had this report on Austin’s statement, and reaction from Halifax Mutual Aid and others.
4. Special: Here’s all the Halifax Examiner’s reporting on the mass murders of April 18/19, 2020
The Halifax Examiner has been covering the mass murders of April 2020 since that weekend. We gathered all the articles we’ve published on the story since then and are archiving them on this page. We’ll update this page as we publish more.
5. New report finds poverty, systemic racism and discrimination “most urgent threats” to well-being of NS children, youth
A new study found that while many children and youth in Nova Scotia are doing well, many others are being left behind. Yvette d’Entremont spoke with the lead author of the ‘One Chance to be a Child’ report, the first “comprehensive snapshot” of child and youth well-being in the province. “We don’t actually talk to children and youth about their experiences,” said Sara Kirk, lead author of the report told d’Entremont.

1. Morning File: Banned and challenged: it’s not wokeness gone wild that’s behind books being removed from libraries
Philip Moscovitch was fired up over a Facebook meme that showed a photo of the most banned books from public libraries and schools in the US. Turns out, that meme is not accurate at all (shocking!) Moscovitch finds out what books were actually challenged by libraries, and wrote, “Are the books the right-leaning people are so upset about and wanting to have removed the titles in the photo at the top of this piece? I don’t think so.”
2. Lisa McCully was ‘creeped out’ by a neighbour in Portapique; then he killed her
Tim Bousquet had this report on the mass killer’s history of abuse and intimidation, including that of his former neighbour, Brenda Forbes, who moved to Portapique with her husband in 2004. Bousquet also wrote about what Leon Joudrey — another Portapique resident — told Mass Casualty Commissioners about the killer harassing Lisa McCully just days before the killing.
3. The RCMP didn’t tell the public about the mass murderer’s fake police car because they didn’t want to create a ‘frantic panic’
One of the biggest unanswered question remaining since the mass killings of April 2020 has been: Why did the RCMP wait so long to notify the public about the killer’s fake police car? Tim Bousquet reported on documents from the Mass Casualty Commission that looked at what happened that weekend, and why the delay in telling the public about the fake car.
4. Halifax committee recommends heritage registration for former United Memorial Church
Zane Woodford was at Halifax regional council’s advisory committee where, for the second time, it recommended in favour of heritage registration for the former United Memorial Church on Kaye Street in Halifax. The former church, which was built in 1921 following the Halifax Explosion, now has a new owner, who is in favour of heritage designation and has plans for a “creative adaptive reuse project” for the church.

1. The Tideline, Episode 77: Elizabeth Murphy
This year is Shakespeare by the Sea’s 28th season, and its surviving founder, Elizabeth Murphy, is retiring. She joins Tara Thorne on The Tideline this week to chat about the company’s history, challenges, its legacy in the theatre community, and her next act. Plus, a new song from Rich Aucoin.
1. Morning File: Share, not scare: how technology has changed what information we tell others
Suzanne Rent recently had a conversation with her daughter, who just discovered the phone book and was creeped out that it included people’s phone numbers and addresses. Rent wrote about how social media has induced us to share even more information, making it even creepier than the phone book. Plus, she ran a selfie through photo editing app, FaceApp. Are the results fooling anyone? You decide.
2. Canadian Blood Services to end restrictions on blood donations from men who have sex with men
Yvette d’Entremont had this report on a decision many have waited for years to be made. Health Canada gave Canadian Blood Services the go-ahead to finally lift the three-month deferral period for in place for sexually active men who have sex with men. As d’Entremont reported, a new screening approach will include a questionnaire about sexual behaviours applicable to all blood and plasma donors.
3. Halifax Transit identifies ‘no operational or safety issues’ with revamped Route 55
Residents of a neighbourhood off Waverley Road who don’t like the bus joined a virtual meeting of the Transportation Standing Committee to express their concerns about the new route for Halifax Transit’s Route 55. Zane Woodford was there, too. While the residents complained about everything — including “stranger danger” of having the bus drive past their children — the committee didn’t agree.

1. Morning File: Record numbers of people are dying of COVID in the ‘So What?’ wave of the pandemic
Twenty-four people died from COVID in Nova Scotia last week. That’s the highest weekly COVID death toll for the duration of the pandemic. Hospitalizations are also up. While we’re in the sixth wave of the pandemic, as Tim Bousquet wrote, as people continue to die, too many people are saying, “So what?”
From our archives
In September 2014, when Tim Bousquet found out former Halifax mayor Peter Kelly got a new job as the CAO of Westlock County in Alberta, he decided to make some phone calls. He called all the councillors in the county of 7,000 people just outside Edmonton. Bousquet finally got Councillor Mel Kroetsch on the line. The two talked about Kelly’s hiring at the county, and Bousquet told him about the scandals Kelly was involved in back in Halifax. Bousquet wrote: “Before I called him, Kroetsch knew nothing about those issues at all. He had never heard of them. Five minutes after I got off the phone with Kroetsch, Massey, the county reeve, called me back.” Check out this Morning File to find out how the rest of those conversations went.

Katie Taylor Beats Amanda Serrano Via Split Decision to Keep World Boxing Titles
May 1, 2022Katie Taylor survived her toughest challenge yet as a professional boxer, retaining her status as the undisputed women's lightweight champion with a split-decision victory over Amanda Serrano on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden in New York.
The judges scored the bout 97-93, 94-96, 96-93 in favor of Taylor, who remains undefeated.
The fight was touted as the biggest in women's boxing history, as Serrano and Taylor were the first women to headline a card at Madison Square Garden. Taylor has dominated at lightweight as both a pro and an amateur, while Serrano has won titles in seven different weight classes, most recently at featherweight.
The battle lived up to the hype. Serrano dominated the middle rounds thanks to her power, coming close to scoring a knockdown in the fifth. Taylor was the better fighter in the early and late goings, using her footwork and feints to make Serrano miss and land punches from difficult angles.
This is Taylor's sixth win as undisputed lightweight champion. She first unified the belts in August 2020. For Serrano, it's the second loss of her career. Her only other defeat came via decision against Frida Wallberg in 2012.
After the fight, Serrano complimented Taylor and talked about how important the bout was for their sport.
Eddie Hearn and Jake Paul, promoters for Taylor and Serrano, respectively, both said they would be interested in a rematch, possibly in Taylor's home country of Ireland.
The intensity of the fight and the skill on display certainly warrants a rematch.
From the start, both fighters were locked in. Taylor's twitchy, in-and-out movement has long confounded her opponents. Serrano did her best to walk her down and cut off the ring. On a few occasions early on, the southpaw Serrano got her front foot inside of Taylor's, but the latter didn't do much to capitalize.
Taylor was the busier puncher to start, throwing the right hand behind her feints. She connected on a couple of stinging blows in the second round that forced her opponent to reset. Her movement was impressive through the first three rounds or so.
The crowd at Madison Square Garden was ready for this historic meeting. They roared after every big punch, with a large Puerto Rican contingent supporting Serrano and a good portion of the crowd backing Taylor.
The big question for Serrano was whether she could line up her shots on Taylor and if her power would carry to the lightweight ranks (she has spent most of her career below 130 pounds). She needed a couple of rounds to really make an impact, but once she did, it was clear she was the same fighter at this weight.
The third and fourth rounds saw Serrano find the range on her counterpunches. One of the shots that snuck through managed to open a cut on Taylor's right eye.
That steady improvement led to a big fifth round for the challenger. Serrano got Taylor trapped on the ropes and the two furiously traded blows. Eventually, Serrano got the upper hand, tagging Taylor with an overhand right that clearly rocked her. Taylor had to smother Serrano's punches for the latter half of the two-minute frame in order to survive.
Serrano remained in control for the sixth round, but she may have emptied the tank going for the knockout in the fifth. Taylor, despite being a bloody mess, was able to steady herself and get back to moving around the ring. She was able to use head movement to get away from Serrano's straightforward attacks, and the eighth saw her dart around the ring and land a couple of good right-handed shots.
After another strong ninth round from Taylor, the 10th saw both combatants go for broke. They used every last bit of energy throwing haymakers at each other, and the noise from the crowd swelled all the way until the final bell.
The judges felt Taylor had done enough in the late rounds to earn a win, but Serrano arguably came within a few punches of winning the bout herself. With both promoters on board for a second meeting between these two, it's possible that the biggest fight in women's boxing could lead to the biggest rematch in the sport's history. | https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2955801-katie-taylor-beats-amanda-serrano-via-split-decision-to-keep-world-boxing-titles | 2022-05-01T04:52:30Z | https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2955801-katie-taylor-beats-amanda-serrano-via-split-decision-to-keep-world-boxing-titles | true | 1 |

Los Angeles Kings activate Mikey Anderson from LTIR
The Los Angeles Kings are getting a reinforcement just in time for the playoffs. The team has activated Mikey Anderson from long-term injured reserve, making him available for tonight’s game against the Seattle Kraken.
Anderson, 22, has become a staple in the Kings lineup over the last calendar year and was averaging more than 20 minutes a night before he was hurt in early March. Last appearing in a game on March 7, he collided with Brad Marchand and ended up needing help off the ice. Placed on LTIR soon after, he’s played just 55 games this season.
Since entering the league, he had quickly established himself as a legitimate shutdown defenseman, pairing with Drew Doughty for the vast majority of his minutes in the NHL. While he had just seven points before going down, his responsible nature and penalty-killing ability was a huge loss to the Kings, who suddenly found themselves down several key defensemen through the middle part of the season.
Now with Doughty done for the season following surgery, it will be interesting to see Anderson line up with a new partner. In his career to this point he has spent more than 1,400 minutes beside the Kings’ star defenseman; the next closest is Tobias Bjornfot, with 245 minutes together. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2585459034065/los-angeles-kings-activate-mikey-anderson-from-ltir | 2022-05-01T05:25:59Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2585459034065/los-angeles-kings-activate-mikey-anderson-from-ltir | false | 1 |

CHICAGO — Patryk Klimala scored two goals late in the second half and the New York Red Bulls became just the second team in MLS history to open a season with five straight road wins after rallying for a 2-1 victory over the Chicago Fire on Saturday.
The Fire (2-3-4) grabbed a 1-0 lead in the 17th minute and ended a 385-minute goal drought when Xherdan Shaqiri nailed a penalty kick after Ashley Fletcher was called for a handball in the box.
The Fire held the lead until Klimala scored the equalizer in the 75th minute. Chicago lost Jhon Duran to a second yellow card in the 79th minute, then watched Rafael Czichos leave for the same reason three minutes later — leaving the Fire two men down when Klimala nailed the game-winner.
Halftime was just three minutes long after an 80-minute weather delay in the first half.
The LA Galaxy opened the season with five straight road wins in 1996 and 1998.
The Red Bulls outshot the Fire 11-7 and had a 4-3 edge in shots on goal.
Carlos Miguel had two saves for the Red Bulls. Gabriel Slonina saved two for the Fire.

A BMW driver noticed a low-coolant warning light and called the automaker's customer service line. After a few moments, a video chat window opened on the customer's smartphone and they were able to speak on camera with someone at a BMW call center. That representative guided the customer down the aisle of an auto parts store to pick out the correct coolant for their vehicle.
Another customer called the service line saying they couldn't connect the charger cord to the port on their hybrid vehicle.
By using the video chat function and showing the representative the vehicle's charging port, a small pebble was spotted blocking the charger from locking in. The customer removed it and was able to charge the vehicle. | https://www.autonews.com/fixed-ops-journal/bmw-partners-blitzz-provide-video-software-roadside-assistance | 2022-05-01T05:30:08Z | https://www.autonews.com/fixed-ops-journal/bmw-partners-blitzz-provide-video-software-roadside-assistance | false | null |
Somewhere in Michigan in the early 1990s, a teenage farm boy clings to a chain-link fence at the edge of the county fairgrounds. He is angling for a distant, and free, glimpse of Naomi and Wynonna Judd.
They step into view briefly, gliding on high heels to the edge of the grandstand stage. From this distance, illuminated by a spotlight, they are a blur of sparkling sequins and red hair. Naomi, the mother of the duo and the de facto emcee, says something, but even amplified, her words float away in the hot August night.
Soon, though, a gentle strumming and Wynonna’s throaty voice carry to him: “I would whisper love so loudly, every heart could understand that love and only love can join the tribes of man.”
Then, his mother calls to him: “Jeff, get in the car! It’s time to go.”
I’m not sure what it was, but for me and for most people, the chemistry between Naomi and Wynonna and the feelings they stirred inside the listener were almost tangible. My first (and only) sighting of them is forever etched in my mind.
After word Saturday of Naomi's death, I'm now realizing how much I've been through with them.
When I was a preteen beginning to reckon with my sexuality and dealing with bullies, and the Judds sang “Mama He’s Crazy,” I understood the narrator's insecurities -- why would anyone want me?
After my grandfather died, I listened to “Grandpa” over and over, crying that he would no longer be able to tell me about the good old days, which he actually used to do. (The song has since lost its luster for me a bit — the good old days weren't really that good. But I still always think of my grandpa.)
And after my father died, I wanted to be at that breakfast table they sang about in “Love Is Alive,” soaking up all the love that sat there.
Those voices. That hair. Those gowns. For a lonely gay boy in the rural Midwest, they were a calling card, and a lifeline of sorts.
Wynonna was clearly the bigger voice of the duo. But without Naomi’s harmonies and stage presence, I doubt her daughter ever would have become the one-name star she is. And would Ashley have made it in Hollywood without her mother’s support?
As I grew older, the story of the Judds impressed me, and I saw bits of it in my own life. Naomi’s single motherhood, a nurse trying to score a recording contract, clicked with my view of my newly widowed mother, another country woman, trying to keep it together while still raising children.
If Naomi could do it, so could she. And so could I.
When cancer visited one of my leg bones after my senior year in high school, I thought of Naomi and her hepatitis diagnosis. Eventually she triumphed over it. So did I.
I went off to college, got married (well, committed -- same-sex marriage wasn’t yet legal in those days) and ended up in New York. Like Naomi, I had persevered and made it out.
There, I cultivated a new circle of friends, many of them also from Michigan. One night a Judds song came on, I forget which one, and one of my new friends began singing along. It turned out we all loved the Judds. I had to go to all the way to New York City to find my country people.
Soon we two couples became inseparable, taking camping trips together several times a summer. When my husband and I moved to Philadelphia and they stayed in New York, we continued our campground reunions, and there was never a camping trip without a Judds singalong around the fire, under the starlit Pennsylvania sky.
Both couples have since divorced, and I have remarried — making sure to impress an appreciation of the Judds upon my new husband — but we all remain close and in touch. The lack of animosity between us reminds me of that line in “Love Can Build a Bridge,” perhaps Naomi’s crowning achievement as a songwriter: “Love and only love can join the tribes of man.”
I once sang that song at a piano bar, and a man in the audience approached me afterward, impressed by the song (probably not by my performance). It was so beautiful and artful, he thought it was a Broadway song. No, I said, just an old country song. He was shocked.
In this world, at this time, can love really join the tribes of man? It was not a question when the Judds asked, “Don't you think it's time?” Naomi knew the answer all along.

Column: Clayton Kershaw has surpassed Sandy Koufax as Dodgers’ greatest pitcher
Spencer Torkelson flailed, and Dodger Stadium shook.
Clayton Kershaw shoved his cap into the air, and Dodger Stadium screamed.
The cool April air was filled with a whiff of greatness Saturday night as a sweating, jabbing Dodgers lefty punched out a record and took his place at the top of a rotation of legends.
In the fourth inning against the Detroit Tigers, on an 89-mph slider that was as unhittable as it was historic, Kershaw recorded his 2,697th career strikeout to pass Don Sutton to become the Dodgers’ all-time leader.
In doing so, he cemented his status as something far more enduring.
Clayton Kershaw is the greatest Dodgers pitcher ever.
Clayton Kershaw became the Dodgers’ all-time strikeouts leader, passing Don Sutton’s 43-year-old mark in the fourth inning of a 5-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers.
It is time to shout what had previously only been whispered. It is time to believe what had previously only been imagined. It is not an insult to Sandy Koufax, but a tribute to one who has endured more seasons, accumulated more stats, and achieved at least as much magic.
It’s finally time to recognize that Kershaw is now the ace of a rotation that was once led by Koufax, the cornerstone of group that also includes Don Drysdale, Fernando Valenzuela, Dazzy Vance, Orel Hershiser and Sutton.
Kershaw owned Chavez Ravine on Saturday as he has owned it for 15 years, bringing thousands to their feet, summoning gasps and groans as he inched closer and closer to the record, finally fanning Torkelson in the fourth inning for his fourth and chart-busting K.
As the joint roared, Kershaw stepped off the mound and doffed his cap. When he returned to the rubber for the next batter, the crowd kept roaring, so he stepped off the mound again and waved his cap once more.
At the end of an inning in which he struck out all three hitters — of course he did — the crowd gave him a third ovation, and he tipped his cap once more as he marched to the dugout.
This is why Kershaw, 34, returned to the Dodgers as a free agent this spring. This is why no matter where he finishes his career, Kershaw will be a Dodger forever.
A statue of Koufax will be unveiled at Dodger Stadium later this summer. Kershaw’s sculpture will surely one day join him, and it no longer needs to be smaller or shadowed.
Believe it, because it’s true, he’s the greatest.
“For you to talk about Clayton in line with Sandy Koufax, that in itself is the greatest compliment you could get,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said before Saturday’s game. “I think it is a great comparison ... you talk about those two guys, you can flip a coin and I’d take either.”
Again, this is not meant to diminish the historic career of one of baseball’s greatest players and one of the Dodgers’ classiest and most celebrated alumnus. For five years from 1962 to 1966, Koufax was arguably the best pitcher in baseball history.
The thing is, Kershaw has been one of baseball’s best pitchers for three times that long, 15 years of domination, devastation, resilience and ultimately redemption.
Some of their achievements have been uncannily similar. Both men won three Cy Young Awards, both were MVPs, both won five ERA titles.
Koufax has the obvious edge in World Series championships, three to one, and his winning Game 7 start on two days’ rest in the 1965 World Series will forever make him the Dodgers great big-game pitcher.
Koufax also had four no-hitters, including one perfect game. Kershaw has thrown a no-hitter and was recently pulled out of potential perfect game in the seventh inning.
But while Koufax dominates the moments, Kershaw has surpassed him in virtually every stat. Kershaw has more strikeouts, a lower ERA, more wins, a better winning percentage, and more innings pitched.
“You look at the greats in whatever era, he’s up there with all of them,” Roberts said of Kershaw. “How the game is managed, played, expectations, whatever you want to look at, I believe he’s up there with all the greats.”
What clinches Kershaw’s place atop the historic Dodgers pitching rotation is that he has done it for so long, so consistently, in so many situations and with so much constant pressure.
The strikeout record is just latest in his legacy.
“Obviously it speaks to longevity, consistency, and just going to add to his lore, not only in Dodgers but in baseball history,” Roberts said.
Fittingly, Kershaw and Koufax are close friends. Kershaw considers Koufax a mentor, and Koufax attempts to watch Kershaw’s starts on television.
They’ve been seemingly connected since Kershaw made his major league debut on May 25, 2008 at Dodger Stadium.
The first strikeout of his career was appropriately the first batter he faced, St. Louis’ Skip Schumaker. He would record all three outs in that inning on strikeouts.
But of course, it hasn’t always been that smooth. He collapsed in a couple of playoff series against the Cardinals. He was cheated out of World Series greatness by the Houston Astros. He came out of the bullpen in the final moments of another series and was rocked into next season by the Washington Nationals.
Clayton Kershaw could break Don Sutton’s Dodgers record with four strikeouts Saturday against Detroit. He sees the milestone as ‘really cool.’
Is it any wonder that when he was finally part of a World Series championship in 2020, he paused while running out of the bullpen to stare into the sky in wonder and relief?
And is it any wonder that, after all he has endured, he decided to come back to the Dodgers as a free agent this spring after almost signing with his hometown Texas Rangers?
The connection with the community was too strong. The lure of making history was too great. All that, and the Dodgers promised he would still be on of their top starters, and he has been just that.
“Clayton is the one who wanted to come back here only if we valued him as a top-tier starter,” said Roberts said. “For us to ... give him every opportunity to come back here was a smart move ... he’s one of the greatest Dodgers to put on a Dodgers uniform, he’s got that. He’s also a performer in the here and now. It’s sort of a no-brainer.”
In the here and now Saturday night, Kershaw rose atop a long list of stars to confirm his place as the greatest Dodgers pitcher ever.
Yeah, sort of a no-brainer.

The Era of ‘the Car You Own Forever’ Is Coming to an End
It won’t make sense to form a bond with a car that’s not really yours and runs on software someone else controls.
You’ve heard the stories: Irv Gordon’s three-million-mile Volvo; Rachel Veitch had the oil in her Mercury Comet changed every 3,000 miles since 1964; a 102-year-old man drove the same car for 82 years. In the car world, we think of these rare owners as moral heroes. Whatever their reason—sentimentality? Yankee thrift? Obsessive compulsion?—they’ve sacrificed the novelty of the new for a durable relationship. They’ve won a marathon most of us don’t bother running.
I’ve been thinking a lot about long-haul car owners as we race toward a technology inflection that will upend the more than a century-old custom of car ownership. Rather than maintain their vehicles lovingly over decades, the Rachel Veitchs and Irv Gordons of the not-so-distant future—if any might still exist—will be compelled to trade them in for reasons that would have read like science fiction to car buyers of the past.
In essence, it won’t make sense to form a bond with a vehicle that’s not really yours and runs on software someone else controls.
We’ve seen this coming. Over four decades, modern cars—both of the internal combustion and electric variety—have evolved from purely mechanical beasts to computing networks on wheels. That’s just the opening round. New, flexible hardware architectures developed in advance of autonomous vehicle technology, together with software ecosystems built on fast connectivity, will empower the automobile industry’s next phase: the transition from being low-margin manufacturing businesses to high-margin software businesses.
Automakers’ motivation to do that flashes every day on the NASDAQ. Tesla’s market capitalization, at around $1 trillion, now totals more than the next seven or eight top global automakers combined. Tech juggernaut Apple is possibly still (even after a ton of setbacks) working on a carmaking effort, and possibly without a traditional automaking partner. Behind every manufacturer that fails to recast itself as highly scalable, tech-forward, and disruptive—while maintaining the complex, regulated, and high-stakes “hell” work of building cars—will be a CEO on the skids. They, and more crucially, their shareholders, all want that kind of sky-high valuation Tesla has.
This is what you’d call a megatrend. In recent years Apple’s stock shot up as recurring revenue grew from zero to a quarter of its income, and the company plans to integrate subscription services even more broadly into its hardware portfolio. In the auto industry, a similar shift from a reliance on one-time vehicle sales to consistent, predictable aftersales earnings that extend into the future will coincide with the advent of the “software-defined car.”
Like smartphones, game consoles and smart appliances, cars are becoming platforms for software and harvesters of valuable user data, giving automakers a digital pipeline to their customers and allowing them to tap into a wellspring of post-purchase cash. Recently, Honda outlined its recurring revenue strategy as a technology-driven transformation of its business. “Honda will strive to transform its business portfolio,” a press release read, “by shifting focus from non-recurring hardware (product) sales business to recurring business in which Honda continues to offer various services and value to its customers after the sale through Honda products that combine hardware and software.”
“(It's) similar to how you might think about your iPhone or Android phone,” Alan Wexler, General Motors' senior vice president of innovation and growth told attendees of an EV investor conference last year, as reported by the Detroit Free Press, “We’re working to create experiences and services, leveraging data in the vehicles and beyond the vehicles.”
Wexler was addressing EVs specifically, but forthcoming internal combustion vehicles will be enabled similarly. In an environment where a vehicle is just another node in the Internet of Things (IoT), long-term ownership of a car might be cumbersome (or even a breach of contract), depending on how the technology evolves. Imagine trying to use an iPhone 5 you bought in 2014 without Apple’s bug fixes and security patches, which it stopped providing in 2017. Now, instead of a phone imagine a beloved SUV (which you’ve given a name) that’s slid suddenly into non-compliance.
Today, there are two forks in the car-ownership longevity story. One is the Right to Repair movement, which casts resourceful owners of cars (and, more broadly, all sorts of consumer products) against companies that use software to wall off increasingly complex systems from independent mechanics and DIY tinkerers. This is a philosophical as well as legal debate, with physical property rights slamming up against the limited rights granted via intellectual property (i.e., software) license. Although the self-reliance team won this round, the industry is not finished with them yet. The pressure for automakers to control every aspect of a new, software-focused operating environment will be significant.
The other fork involves vehicles outlasting the technologies that enable their features. That includes digital obsolescence in general and, most recently, the sunsetting of the 3G cellular network. Hundreds of thousands of car owners are now learning a hard lesson about the limitations of end-user licenses, as some of the features for which they’d paid a premium disappear, literally into thin air, with automakers under no obligation to replace them in kind.
Unlike most goods, where signing on the dotted line “exhausts” a seller’s rights while conferring them to the purchaser, the right to use software is granted to customers by license. That long document in tiny print, which we scroll past and punch the “I agree” button, spells out precisely how, where, and when a customer can use a piece of software. With the 3G case as an example—highlighting the importance of reading terms of use documents carefully—cars are joining the ranks of devices for which ownership doesn’t guarantee the right to use all features in perpetuity.
The linchpin of automakers’ new, software-first strategy is turning features into software upgrades, selling them individually or in packages, and installing them wirelessly by over-the-air (OTA) updates. GM introduced OTA software updates via its OnStar telematics service in 2009 and is working on expanding its offerings around a new hardware infrastructure. In 2012, Tesla introduced extensive OTA integration that remains central to the functionality of its EVs, including its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software. More automakers have since launched OTA functions: BMW updates its iDrive system wirelessly, as does Volkswagen with its ID range of EVs. Ford recently announced a goal to produce 33 million vehicles with OTA capability by 2028, giving it a massive addressable market for digital products.
According to McKinsey and Company, 95 percent of cars sold in 2030 will have OTA capability. As this surface of connected vehicles grows, and as consumers adapt to connected-vehicle economics, the market will evolve quickly, with more apps and services coming online, and more of a car’s features enabled (or disabled) by OTA. Although, by legal opinion, courts likely would not allow manufacturers to disable essential functions that affect a car’s intended operation—you know, as a car—anything else could be fair game for pay-as-you-go licensing: infotainment apps, comfort options like a heated steering wheel, or maybe even features that define a model’s dynamic character, like a sport sedan's horsepower and torque parameters or suspension settings.
As the market evolves and software-platform initiatives accelerate, new, shorter-term or flexible ownership schemes that emphasize stable, predictable after-purchase revenue will heave into view. Automakers have already started experimenting with decoupling ownership from use. Car-subscription services that challenge traditional ownership may have hit the skids during the pandemic, but their story isn’t over. Call it the Netflix model for car features; even if that company’s hit a speed bump of its own, the metaphor still works. Why have a customer pay once for a car feature when they’re increasingly used to subscribing to things and you can get a recurring source of revenue from them instead?
Enthusiasts who own modern-classic cars from the past 20 years are accustomed to battling obsolescence: buying old laptops and jailbroken diagnostic software on eBay, watching YouTube for lessons on replacing bad capacitors and refurbishing degraded module chips. Will owners of the future be motivated to do the same with highly software-dependent, connected cars? Will cars become more uniform as automakers seek economies of scale, or even leave production entirely to the Magnas and Foxconns of the world? Will new models of production emerge? At the very least, as with devices, what’s coming next will separate the hackers from the rest of us.
The only questions left are how far will consumers go to preserve a traditional owning-and-driving experience, what will they sacrifice to keep it, and when will be the tipping point that kicks off widespread adoption of subscription, car sharing, fractional ownership, shared mobility, or other pay-to-drive models?
However it happens, maybe paying top dollar for a vintage, air-cooled Porsche 911 or 1980s Chevrolet C-10 pickup, or hanging on to that Corvair for another decade or two isn’t the worst idea. It may just be the ultimate future-proofing strategy.

For some time, Americans have heard all about the evils of Big Tech — companies like Facebook, Google and Twitter that have played dominant roles in the internet’s ability to pick and choose who gets to spread truths and falsehoods.
But now, with the news that Tesla and SpaceX pioneer Elon Musk is buying Twitter, everyone is supposed to believe that things are going to be a lot better with the world’s richest man — Mr. Very Big Tech — in charge of the company?
Conservatives have complained that Twitter and Facebook have unfairly censored more of their opinions than those of liberals. Their thinking is that Musk, a libertarian who says he strongly supports free speech, will restore a better balance of opinion to Twitter.
We shall see, although it’s pretty easy to predict that if Twitter relaxes its commentary policing too much, the inevitable result will be more falsehoods, slimy innuendo and slanderous posts disguised as legitimate opinions. Those are proven by-products of social media.
What conservatives, liberals and anyone who thinks social media has gone too far ought to seek is a change in federal law to hold these websites to the same level of accountability as other publishers, such as newspapers, radio stations and television channels.
Right now, website companies are largely exempt from liability for what they allow others to say. Over time, this has encouraged ever more outrageous commentary and allegations, to which human nature tends to pay attention.
This is all because of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996. It specifically says that an interactive computer service — such as a popular social media website — cannot be considered the publisher of information on its site if someone else provided the information.
The idea was to allow websites to grow during the internet’s earliest years without facing a slew of lawsuits. Well, mission accomplished — but that success came with a price.
Does anyone seriously think Tesla should not be legally liable if its electric cars start catching fire with people inside them? Should SpaceX be liable if one of its ships crashes into a residential neighborhood? Of course they should — yet internet companies have no responsibility or liability for the damage their products allow some of their users to cause.
The world and the internet would be a better place if sites like Facebook and Twitter had to be more careful about what they allowed online. Since online companies have proven themselves to be masters of innovation, it’s ridiculous to argue they can’t figure out a way to do this.
Big Tech opposed changes to the law before Elon Musk got involved. Now that he owns one of the internet’s most prominent names, he also is sure to defend the publishing exemption. To do otherwise — to allow any serious limits on the over-the-top opinions, allegations and conspiracy theories — would be bad for business when the internet has proven there’s quite a market for it, no matter who gets hurt.

PHOTOS: Suspected drunken driver crashes outside of police department headquarters
Published: Apr. 30, 2022 at 12:01 PM MDT|Updated: 11 hours ago
PORTLAND, Maine (Gray News) - Police in Maine said a driver decided to pay them an unexpected visit late Friday night.
The Portland Maine Police Department reports a 26-year-old female driver drove through the department’s garage, went across a pedestrian plaza and then got her vehicle stuck on a set of stairs.
Police said the woman told them she was following her GPS instructions, but responding officers felt it was her excessive blood alcohol level. The 26-year-old was issued a summons for operating under the influence.
Officers said everyone was fortunate that the driver didn’t strike anyone in the incident and urged others not to drink and drive.

Gov. Henry McMaster’s minor heart procedure a success
(AP) — South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster was put under anesthesia for about 10 minutes Wednesday to fix a minor irregular heartbeat.
The governor’s office says the problem was found when the 74-year-old governor was scheduled for arthroscopic knee surgery.
McMaster had suffered a slight meniscus tear while playing tennis with his wife. McMaster’s cardiologist says a pre-operation electrocardiogram Tuesday found the governor’s heartbeat normal.
But one final test before the knee procedure found his heartbeat was irregular.
Doctors say McMaster was under for about 10 minutes and was back at the governor’s mansion in two hours. Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette knew what was happening, but did not need to act as governor. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2585418108595/gov-henry-mcmaster-s-minor-heart-procedure-a-success | 2022-05-01T05:52:54Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2585418108595/gov-henry-mcmaster-s-minor-heart-procedure-a-success | true | null |
If you’re one of those men who think there’s something great about suits, I would first ask who hurt you, and secondly, question why out of all the fun colours this world has to offer why you would settle on variants of grey.
This is my appeal for you to believe in something better, a life where you do not have to wear the same thing to work as you would a wedding, putting the labour into labour of love.
It’s not that I don’t look good in a suit, in fact I look so good that a girl who dumped me once backslid solely because she had seen me wearing glasses in one, a flattering realisation that also spoke volumes to the stock she put in my personality.
It’s a look tailor made for me, but also, for everyone else, with the universal nature being part of the problem.
I’ve tried grey suits, black suits, blue suits, and everything in between, and all of them left me cold.
Maybe it’s because I didn’t wear them at school, not to be all class war about it, but I just don’t see how jeans and a t-shirt make me any worse at my job.
I understand there is wanting to make an impression, but I’ve got more than enough short sleeves to do that anyway.
Suits are fundamentally boring, and a fun coloured sock or tie does not diminish from the fact you’re wearing a top you have to iron and a jacket that doesn’t keep you warm.
There is no individuality in them, even the gorgeous lining inside my Ted Baker number is crucially, an inside lining.
The nice bit is hidden, so we can all dress and look the same, wearing shoes less comfortable than trainers because it somehow makes us seem more professional.
Now I am not blind to the idea that suits are sexy.
A friend once told me when arranging to see her friend with benefits she would put on nice lingerie and tell him to put on the suit as the male equivalent, because what’s sexier than a man who looks like he has a job.
But I don’t feel good in them, I feel like Tom Hanks at the end of Big when he’s a child in a suit, or even worse, like an estate agent.
And don’t even get me started on ties, an item so ridiculous it should have been left in the past like ruffs.
They may be a rare chance to display individuality, but they are also frankly a food risk.
The only thing I want going in my tea is a little milk and biscuits, not some preposterous neck decoration that does far more to deprive oxygen than add sex appeal.
At Coachella, the reference point for all my work uniform considerations, Harry Styles wore a sequined jumpsuit that awakened something in me, albeit not like that.
Masculinity and professionalism should not stem from your outfit, and life is too short to be boring.
The age of suits is over. The time of fun fabrics has come. | https://www.scotsman.com/news/opinion/suits-are-boring-and-men-should-feel-more-comfortable-about-wearing-nice-things-alexander-brown-3676110 | 2022-05-01T05:53:28Z | https://www.scotsman.com/news/opinion/suits-are-boring-and-men-should-feel-more-comfortable-about-wearing-nice-things-alexander-brown-3676110 | true | 1 |

Erik ten Hag 'praying' Man Utd don't finish seventh under Ralf Rangnick as he eyes rebuild
ERIK TEN HAG is expected to majorly reshape the Manchester United team when he arrives in the summer.
In pictures: Man Utd v Chelsea
With Manchester United extremely unlikely to finish in the top four this season, the club have quickly turned their attention to which European competition they will be playing in next season. They currently occupy sixth-place in the Premier League and therefore would qualify for the Europa League, though dropping down just one spot will see them playing in the European Conference League.
Ever since his appointment in November, Ralf Rangnick has struggled to get the very best out of the Red Devils team. There have been questions about the tactics that the German has attempted to implement at Old Trafford, whilst doubts over the mentality of the United team have also been raised.
However, newly-appointed manager Erik ten Hag is hoping that those issues can be brushed to the side until the end of the season. With just three games left of the season, Sunday Mirror report that the Dutch boss is ‘praying’ that the club can avoid finishing in the European Conference League places.
The 52-year-old believes that he can guide the club through the Europa League in his first season in charge, which in turn means that United will automatically book their spot in the Champions League for the following campaign. However, the current Ajax manager recognises that the European Conference League is a more complicated task and he would rather have more time to rebuild the club.
Ten Hag is expected to spend big in the summer in order to revamp his squad, especially with so many players departing at the end of the campaign when their contracts expire. Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard and Edinson Cavani are amongst those stars definitely expiring – whilst Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Phil Jones are reportedly expected to be sold by the new manager.
With that, United will need reinforcements. Rangnick was not able to sign any players in the January transfer window because the higher powers at the club wanted to ensure that there was a significant summer transfer budget available.
With Cristiano Ronaldo set to be the only striker at the club upon Ten Hag’s arrival, signing a no.9 is set to be at the very top of Ten Hag’s shopping list. Tottenham forward Harry Kane has been linked with a move to the Theatre of Dreams, whilst exciting Benfica prospect Darwin Nunez is reportedly of interest too – though United will face stiff competition for the Uruguayan given his good form in Portugal.
Signing a central midfielder is also a priority due to Pogba’s departure and the high likelihood that Nemanja Matic will be sold. Though it may also give Donny van de Beek to finally make his mark for United having struggled to become a regular inclusion under both Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Rangnick – though he has not made the greatest impression at Everton since moving to Goodison Park on loan in January. | https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1603725/Erik-ten-Hag-Man-Utd-Premier-League-Ralf-Rangnick-SNT | 2022-05-01T05:54:25Z | https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1603725/Erik-ten-Hag-Man-Utd-Premier-League-Ralf-Rangnick-SNT | true | 1 |
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Javier Báez and Austin Meadows each drove in two runs and the Detroit Tigers snapped a six-game losing streak with a 5-1 victory over Los Angeles on Saturday, spoiling a night when Clayton Kershaw became the Dodgers' career strikeout leader.
Báez tied it at 1-all in the third inning with a base hit to left and then had the go-ahead double down the right-field line off Evan Phillips (1-1) in the seventh. Later in the inning, Meadows plated two more runs with a perfectly-placed single between third and short that extended the lead to 4-1.
Mookie Betts accounted for Los Angeles' only run with a leadoff homer in the first. The Dodgers, who had won seven of their first eight at home, only managed four hits against five Detroit pitchers.
Jacob Barnes (2-0) got the win as the Tigers' bullpen allowed only one hit and one walk in four innings.
Kershaw began the game needing four to pass Don Sutton as the Dodgers' strikeout king.
The 33-year-old lefty got Spencer Torkelson to whiff on a slider low and inside for his 2,697th strikeout and move past the Hall of Famer.
Kershaw received a standing ovation from the fans at Dodger Stadium and tipped his cap after getting the record. He finished the night with seven punchouts and also became the 26th pitcher to reach 2,700 strikeouts.
Since the start of the live-ball era in 1920, Kershaw has the lowest career ERA (2.48) and WHIP (1.00) among starting pitchers with at least 1,500 innings. He is fourth among active players in strikeouts.
Kershaw has spent his entire 15-year career in Dodger blue. The three-time Cy Young Award winner signed a one-year deal in March after the lockout ended that could earn him as much as $22 million.
Betts began the Dodgers' first by driving Beau Brieskie's curveball over the wall in center field. It was Betts' third homer of the season and the 30th of his career when leading off.
Kershaw — allowed one run and four hits in six innings — retired the first eight Tigers before running into trouble with two outs in the third. Derek Hill lined a double down the left-field line and scored on Baez's base hit to left to tie it.
FOR STARTERS
Brieske had a better outing in his second major-league start. The right-hander — who was the Tigers' Minor League Pitcher of the Year last season — allowed only one run and three hits with three strikeouts in five innings.
He allowed three runs in five innings in his debut on April 23 against Colorado.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Tigers: Right-handers Matt Manning (right shoulder inflammation) and Casey Mize (right elbow) are on track to begin throwing bullpen sessions early next week.
Dodgers: RHP Mitch White was placed on the COVID-19 injured list and RHP Andre Jackson was optioned. OF Zach McKinstry was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City and the contract of RHP Carson Fulmer was selected.
UP NEXT
Tigers: LHP Eduardo Rodriguez (0-1, 5.03 ERA) makes his fifth start of the season and has had a no-decision in his last two games. He is 1-1 in two career regular-season starts against the Dodgers.
Dodgers: RHP Walker Buehler (2-1, 2.55 ERA) tossed his first big-league complete game in last Monday's 4-0 victory at Arizona. This will be the first time he has faced the Tigers.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, running for re-election, has made a point in recent months of dramatising what he frames as the “crisis” at the US-Mexico border. Last year, Mr Abbott sent Texas National Guard troops to the state’s southern border in mission called Operation Lone Star, announcing that if Mr Biden refused to secure the border, Texans would do it themselves. That plan, however, has been roundly criticised by participants who say that they have faced pay delays and substandard living conditions.

State bid committee takes next steps to bring World University Games to the Triad
GREENSBORO, N.C. (WGHP) — We’ll know by October if the World University Games will be held in North Carolina.
GREENSBORO: Catch up on the latest local news in your city.The state bid committee took another step toward bringing the summer games to North Carolina. Board members from the U.S. International University Sports Federation toured the Greensboro Coliseum Complex on Wednesday afternoon. It was part of their site visit needed to select a host for the 2027 World University Games.
“Whether it’s regional competitions, national competitions, NCA championships, things of that nature, very few places in the country can deliver the goods as well as you see here,” said Dan Guerrero, president of the U.S. International University Sports Federation.
The U.S. last held the games in 1993.
Wednesday’s visit was just the beginning of a long process to bring the event to the Triad. The bid committee has worked for five years on this project. Members think the state is well-suited to host an event this size. It would be one of the biggest the area has ever seen.
“To the best of my knowledge, nowhere in North Carolina has been competing internationally at this level for an event of this magnitude,” said Hill Carrow, chairman of the state bid committee.
The 2027 games will either be held in North Carolina or in South Korea. They’re known as the second-largest global multi-sport event.
“We’re team U.S.A., and that in and of itself is a great honor,” Carrow said.
If selected, the games would be held from July 13 to 25 in 2027. They would bring about 15,000 student-athletes to our state. They will stay on college campuses.
The expected 600,000 spectators will need housing, creating a big boom for local hotels, restaurants and businesses.
“The independent third-party studies that have been done on recent events show the economic impacts have been measured at anywhere kind of the low end of $150 million to as high as…$370-$375 million,” Carrow said.
The state will have about five years to prepare for the games, putting them up on the world map.
“We’ll put central North Carolina on a five-year global marketing campaign that you know will shine a light right here on our central region and our entire state,” Carrow said.
If North Carolina is chosen, about 20,000 volunteers would be needed to help run the event.

Former Union minister Vijay Goel along with other dignitaries will lead a 'Swachchhata Abhiyan' outside the Jama Masjid premises on May 1, the statement said.
Former North Delhi mayor Jai Prakash will also accompany him, it said. "Cleanliness should be maintained during all festivals. Cleanliness will also generate harmony," Goel was quoted as saying in the statement.
Jama Masjid is a 17th-century mosque built by Mughal emperor Shah Jehan and attracts a large number of tourists every day, especially during Ramadan and Eid.
A large number of eateries and roadside food stalls are located in the streets facing Jama Masjid. Goel claimed that it was due to "his efforts" that the Charti Lal Goel Heritage Park has been built near the Jama Masjid.
A programme on water conservation was on Saturday slated to be held at the Charti Lal Goel Heritage Park in the presence of Goel, North Delhi Mayor Raja Iqbal Singh and water activist Rajendra Singh. The park was inaugurated by President Ram Nath Kovind on March 20. | https://www.oneindia.com/india/vijay-goel-to-undertake-cleanliness-drive-in-delhi-s-jama-masjid-area-today-3402646.html | 2022-05-01T06:09:24Z | https://www.oneindia.com/india/vijay-goel-to-undertake-cleanliness-drive-in-delhi-s-jama-masjid-area-today-3402646.html | false | 3 |

Khunti, May 1 (PTI) A 12-year-old girl was allegedly sexually assaulted in Jharkhand's Khunti district by a man, who visited her house in the guise of a sadhu to seek alms, police said on Sunday.
Three people were arrested in connection with the incident that happened in Torpa police station area on Saturday, they said.
The three men, dressed as sadhus, visited the house of the girl to seek alms. One of them went inside the house to drink water, while the other two were talking to the girl's parents outside, police said.
Suddenly, the girl ran out of the house screaming, they said.
All the three men tried to flee, but villagers caught them and handed them over to the police.
"Based on the statement of the survivor, an FIR has been registered under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act," Superintendent of Police Aman Kumar told PTI.
While two of the men are from Aurangabad in Bihar, the main accused is from Lohardaga district, police said.

The Roswell High School varsity baseball team split their doubleheader against the Clovis Wildcats Friday in the final two games of the regular season, with scores of 13-12, RHS; and 12-4, Clovis.
In the first game, the Coyotes matched the Wildcats run for run and then some. The Wildcats scored six runs in the first four innings compared to Roswell, who scored 11.
Roswell High senior pitcher Isaiah Garcia returned as the starting pitcher in the first game after an injury. Garcia pitched five innings and struck out four Wildcat players.
In the sixth inning, however, Clovis went on a massive 6-0 rally to bring the Wildcats back into contention.
“Clovis is a scrappy group,” Roswell head coach Ernest Lujan said. “They put the ball on the bat when we get some pitching changes. We try to get the seniors to play. Tarin pitched well against Hobbs and so we try to get him to finish the inning. It just didn’t go the way we planned. We stayed resilient and we were able to come back with a nice rally to finally win with a walk-off.”
Despite Clovis coming back, the Coyotes shut out the Wildcats in the top of the seventh and took the lead with two runs in the bottom of the inning to win.
The Coyotes were unable to get the series sweep against the visitors as they faltered in the second game. The Wildcats had at least one run in all seven innings with the exception of the third.
“They had three big hits in the first inning,” Lujan said. “I’m not sure what happened to our guys. After a big win, we got a little deflated. There are no excuses. Clovis came out and played a better baseball game in that last game. We were looking for the sweep but we got two out of three games so we won our final series of the season.”
On top of the lesser defense, the Coyotes could only muster four hits and three RBIs in the second game.
Roswell ends their season with a 9-17 record and 2-7 in district play.

Ever glamorous, ever dripping with stars, the Met Gala 2022 is just around the corner, taking place in New York on Monday May 2.
As ever, the Costume Institute has roped in some stars to co-chair and this year the baton has been passed to power couple extraordinaire Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds.
They will be joined by the likes of Regina King and Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Last year the show was stopped by the stunning outfits of Maisie Williams and Billie Eilish.
The annual do, hosted by the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, is one of New York’s (and by proxy, the world’s) biggest fixtures on the celebrity calendar and has earned the title of ‘fashion’s biggest night’.
Organised by Vogue, it marks the beginning of the Costume Institute’s fashion exhibit, held annually.
The Gala first sprung up in 1948 and was exclusively attended by New York’s upper crust, fashion designers and the metropolis’ most wealthy. Now though, it is attended by the latest and greatest in the worlds of showbiz, fashion, business and beyond.
Met Gala 2022 theme
The theme for the Met Gala 2022 is ‘Gilded Glamour’ and White Tie.
Although it may sound a little cryptic, it references the good old days of the end of the 19th century - think big industrialisation and an even bigger divide between the haves and the have-nots.
Describing the theme to CNN, fashion historian and curator Kate Strasdin said: "It is very embellished, very exaggerated, very structured.
"It feels so upholstered compared to the way that we think about dress now."
Industrialists and real-estate moguls ruled supreme in the Gilded Age that this year’s theme draws upon, as trains and cities sprung up and sprawled out at alarming rates, matched only by the speed in which a lucky few’s pockets filled.
Fashion matched the excess of the times in the upper tiers of society - trimmings, lace and even the odd wing were seen.
Who's on the guestlist for the Met Gala 2022?
One person rumoured to be planning attendance to this year’s do is Taylor Swift.
She hasn't been seen walking up the steps on the big night since 2016, but some fans reckon 2022 could be the year the folk-pop megastar makes her return.
She’s also pals with the Lively-Reynolds household, a promising sign if ever we saw one.
Another huge name people suspect might strut their way down the red carpet is Harry Styles.
The Sign Of The Times singer debuted in 2019, donning a Gucci one-piece that sparked his adoration for the style for months to come.
It’s also thought some of the members of the Euphoria cast will be showing their faces, with Syndey Sweeney and Alexa Demie two names touted to be planning attendance.
Fans have also drawn another natural conclusion: the Kardashian-Jenners love the Gala, why would they miss this year? Fingers crossed for a show-stopping ensemble from the whole gang.
Zendaya is reportedly unavailable and Rihanna is close to having a baby, so don’t expect to see these two fan favourites.
When is the Met Gala 2022?
The Met Gala will take place on the night of May 2, 2022.
How to watch the Met Gala 2022
The Met Gala will be viewable via a live stream on the Vogue website. It will also be accessible through its social media channels on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
The live stream will start at 6pm ET, which is 11pm in the UK.
Vogue’s live stream will be hosted by Vanessa Hudgens. | https://www.irishmirror.ie/showbiz/celebrity-news/met-gala-2022-whats-years-26833501 | 2022-05-01T06:16:35Z | https://www.irishmirror.ie/showbiz/celebrity-news/met-gala-2022-whats-years-26833501 | true | 2 |
An overwhelming majority of people in the UK hold the “woke” belief that it is important to be alive to issues of race and social justice, according to a new analysis of public attitudes.
Four in five Britons believe in being attentive to those issues – the definition of “woke” used by the Merriam-Webster dictionary – leading researchers to claim the country is not as divided by culture wars as is often assumed. An overwhelming majority of Conservative voters and those who backed Brexit also said it was important to be attentive to the issues.
The report by the Global Future thinktank, using polling by YouGov, states that it is one of several areas in which there is more agreement in the UK than polarisation.
It points to strong support for taking in more Ukrainian refugees (43%), including among Tory voters (30%), as well as support for wider restrictions on immigration. Only a tiny proportion of Remainers said they want totally open borders.
When asked directly whether they thought they were “woke”, with no definition given, 16% said they were, 41% said they were not and 31% said they did not know what the term meant.
Asked about their views on British history, 77% of people believe Britain has been a force for good in the world but that this does not equate to denying issues about the past. Some 67% also accept that Britain has done damage. A majority believe this across age, gender and region. While 74% of Conservatives acknowledge that damage has been done in Britain’s past, 65% of Labour voters accept that Britain has also had a positive impact in the world.
The findings have been supported by political figures attempting to stop political polarisation. “This research reveals the decent, tolerant and ethical centre ground of the British people,” said Jon Cruddas, the Labour MP. “We’re proud of our history and we care deeply about racial and social injustice. Despite talk of polarisation, we still share a meaningful sense of the common good.”
Jesse Norman, the Tory MP and former Treasury minister, said: “What this research highlights is that, as a whole, people across the UK are both capable and comfortable in talking about complex questions of race and identity, and that they still hold firm to a centre ground of tolerance, decency and mutual respect.”
The research was based on a YouGov poll conducted on 6-7 April. It polled 2,244 people online. | https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/may/01/four-in-five-people-in-the-uk-believe-in-being-woke-to-race-and-social-justice | 2022-05-01T06:18:58Z | https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/may/01/four-in-five-people-in-the-uk-believe-in-being-woke-to-race-and-social-justice | true | 1 |

Leeds (England): The Premier League top two continued to outdo each other on Saturday as both Manchester City and Liverpool earned crucial wins in their bids for the title, while bottom side Norwich City had their relegation confirmed after losing 2-0 at Aston Villa.
Elsewhere down the bottom, Burnley's revival under caretaker boss Mike Jackson continued as a thrilling 2-1 win at Watford pulled them five points clear of the relegation zone, a result that ensured Norwich will play Championship football next term.
All eyes were on St James' Park in the day's early kick-off, less than 72 hours on from Liverpool's Champions League semifinal first leg win over Villarreal, where victory over Newcastle United would send Juergen Klopp's side top.
Klopp rung the changes to freshen things up, and one of those players coming in, Naby Keita, struck what proved to be the winner in the first half to send Liverpool above City temporarily.
The win continued a relentless run of form that has dragged Liverpool back into the title race. Klopp's men have picked up 40 points from the last 42 on offer, only dropping points away to City.
Newcastle, looking for their fifth-straight league win, never gave in, but could not break through a near-impenetrable Liverpool rearguard.
Liverpool have kept 21 clean sheets in the league this season - more than any other side. Only in 2005-06 (22) have they kept more shutouts in a single campaign in the division.
"It's a win in the most difficult of circumstances," Klopp told BT Sport. "A team in form, a crowd waiting for ages for proper success. Coming here with five changes and building pretty much a new setup is really difficult, so the performance was absolutely outstanding."
With Liverpool's task complete, it was City's turn to continue their impressive form at Leeds United, who are battling to stay in the Premier League.
City boss Pep Guardiola also made plenty of changes to his side with Wednesday's Champions League semifinal second leg clash with Real Madrid in mind, leading to the visitors looked a little disjointed from the off.
However, they soon found their feet with Spanish midfielder Rodri heading them into a 13th-minute lead, before another goal from a corner, this time stabbed home by Nathan Ake early in the second half, putting them in control.
A raucous Elland Road crowd did their best to put City off, and the hosts had their chances, but further goals from Gabriel Jesus and substitute Fernandinho restored them to top spot on 83 points from 34 matches played, one point clear of Liverpool.
"We knew coming here the way they play, we suffered a lot in the first half," Guardiola said. "But in the end we had control and could have scored more. An incredible result for us.
"They are so fast up front. We defended well and sometimes these type of games set-pieces become so important. Today was so important to make our chances to be champions again."
For Leeds, they are five points clear of the relegation zone after a first defeat in six league games. However, they have played two more games than Everton in 18th.
Burnley are on the up after their spirited comeback win at Watford which edged the hosts closer to the drop.
Late goals from Jack Cork and Josh Brownhill earned the visitors their first come-from-behind away win in the Premier League.
A third league win in a row under caretaker Jackson lifts Burnley to 16th on 34 points from 34 matches, five clear of Everton but having played two games more. Watford remain in 19th place on 22 points, seven behind Everton.
Norwich, however, limped out of the Premier League with a whimper following a goal and assist by Villa substitute Danny Ings. They are 13 points from the safety zone, with only 12 points still left to play for.
Elsewhere, Crystal Palace earned a 2-1 win at Southampton, while Brighton & Hove Albion beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-0. | https://www.onmanorama.com/sports/football/2022/05/01/man-city-liverpool-keep-winning-norwich-relegated.amp.html | 2022-05-01T06:27:19Z | https://www.onmanorama.com/sports/football/2022/05/01/man-city-liverpool-keep-winning-norwich-relegated.amp.html | true | 3 |

Key enterprises like SAIC Motor, US electric carmaker Tesla and semiconductor makers like SMIC and Hua Hong Semiconductor have resumed 80-90 per cent of their production in Shanghai which is under Covid lockdowns, The Global Times reported on Saturday.
Companies on Shanghai’s initial whitelist have resumed over 80 per cent of their production while chip makers now maintain over 90 per cent production.
China has established a “whitelist" approach to support the resumption of work for key companies and minimise the impact of Covid-19 on the supply chain.
“By now, Shanghai’s whitelist authorises a total of 1,854 companies to resume work," the report said, quoting officials.
To help workers return to their workplaces, Shanghai has issues digital pass cards that carry personal information like identity, company and a negative Covid test result, “with shuttle buses transporting them to their companies under closed-loop management".
The city has so far issued over 10,000 such cards and another 30,000 more workers have returned to their posts via other measures, the report mentioned.
The ongoing Covid-19 lockdowns in China are set to make a huge dent in Apple revenue for the April-June quarter as the company has indicated up to $8 billion loss in sales.
In Shanghai, 31 companies run production facilities that supply to Apple.
According to reports, some Apple suppliers have reopened facilities in bubble-like environments where workers are staying inside the premises.
Also Watch:
Apple’s biggest supplier Foxconn has kept production going at its biggest iPhone-assembly plant in the Chinese city of Zhengzhou.
In Shanghai’s outbreak, nearly all victims have been elderly, unvaccinated residents with underlying health problems, according to Chinese officials.

Ada Hegerberg and captain Wendie Renard scored Lyon’s goals either side of a Marie-Antoinette Katoto strike as they beat PSG 2-1 to win their semi-final tie 5-3 on aggregate.
The match at the Parc des Princes was watched by a new record crowd for a women’s club game in France of 43,254, a week after a world record 91,648 saw Barcelona win the first leg of their tie at home to Wolfsburg.

'Things are looking up - gas is up, rent is up, food is up': Trevor Noah roasts Biden while hosting White House Correspondents' Association Dinner and jokes that DeSantis banned math books so 'nobody knows how to count the votes' if he runs in 2024
- The Daily Show Host Trevor Noah took shots at the Biden administration and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner on Saturday
- Noah mocked Joe Biden for his failure to lower inflation rates, which is at the highest it's been in 40 years
- The comedian also quipped that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis had banned math textbooks as a ploy to win the 2024 election after the state tossed out 41 percent of the 132 math textbooks earlier this month
- During the event, President Joe Biden made fun of his own approval ratings, his predecessor and the GOP
- 'I'm really excited to be here tonight with the only group of Americans who have a lower approval rating than I have,' Biden said of the journalists, celebrities and politicians attending the event
- He then took aim at Republicans, saying he wouldn't roas them because 'there's nothing I can say about the GOP that Kevin McCarthy hasn't already put on tape' he joked
- Noah then took over as he roasted the president, his administration and journalists throughout the room as he mocked MSNBC, CNN and Fox News
- The comedian also took a at the room full of people gathered without masks, and ultimately paid a tribute to the fourth estate and America's freedoms, noting the privilege of being able to mock his own president
Comedian Trevor Noah mocked the Biden administration for rising inflation rates at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner and also took jabs at Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' possible presidential candidacy after the state banned dozens of math books earlier this month.
The Daily Show Host touted Biden for coming out to the event on Saturday, saying he doesn't know why the president would miss a chance to hear all about his supposed accomplishments.
'You know, I think ever since you've come into office, things are really looking up. Gas is up. Rent is up. Food is up. Everything,' Noah joked about inflation, which is at the highest it's been in 40 years.
Noah also took aim at Biden's predecessor, Donald Trump, and used the former Republican president as a gateway to roast DeSantis.
'[If] Trump was the original Terminator, DeSantis is like the T-1000,' Noah said of the Florida governor. 'You're smarter than him, you're slicker than him, you can walk down ramps.
'Because you see, Trump said he won the election, but everyone was just able to look at the numbers and see he was wrong. 'That's why Ron DeSantis is one step ahead,' Noah said, referencing the fact that Florida tossed out 41 percent of the 132 math textbooks submitted for the next school year, more than half of which the state said referenced Critical Race Theory (CRT), with the rest containing Common Core and Social Emotional Learning (SEL).
'First you ban the math textbooks, then nobody knows how to count the votes,' Noah quipped. 'Boom, my man!'

At the dinner, Biden poked fun at his own low approval rating and called the Trump administration a 'horrible plague' as he cracked jokes and roasted the press.
'Tonight, we come here to answer a very important question in everybody's mind. Why in hell are we still doing this?' Biden quipped as he took the stage in the room full of journalists and D.C. insiders.
'I know there are questions about whether we should gather here tonight because of COVID. Well, we're here to show the country that we're getting through this pandemic. Plus, everyone had to prove they're fully vaccinated and boosted,' he said. 'Just contact your favorite Fox News reporter they're all here vaccinated and boosted.'
He then addressed his historically low poll numbers for the first time, claiming that journalists were the only people who were less well-liked.
'I'm really excited to be here tonight with the only group of Americans have a lower approval rating than I have,' Biden said.

Noah went on to immediately mock the large, maskless event taking place during the pandemic and took jabs at Biden
'Well, that's hard to say after what we just saw this the first time President attended this dinner in six years.'
'Well that's understandable - we had a horrible plague, followed by two years of COVID,' the president added.
'Imagine if my predecessor came to this dinner this year. Now that would really have been a real coup that occurred!'
Biden then turned his attention to Republicans, and the leaked tapes of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy claiming he would ask President Trump to resign after January 6.
'Folks, I'm not really here to roast the GOP. That's not my style. Besides, there's nothing I can say about the GOP that Kevin McCarthy hasn't already put on tape,' Biden said to a room full of chuckles.
'At the same time, a lot of people say the Republican Party's too extreme too divisive to control by one person. They say that's not your father's Republican Party. Ronald Reagan said Mr. Gorbachev, tear this wall down. Today's Republicans say 'Tear down Mickey Mouse's house.'
And pretty soon they'll be storming Cinderella's castle. You can be sure that Republicans seem to support one fella. Some guy named Brandon. He's having a really good year. I'm kind of happy for him,' Biden said, referring to conservative rallying cry 'Let's Go Brandon.'
Biden then introduced Noah, who is headlining the event, who mocked the large maskless gathering.
It is my great honor to be speaking tonight at the nation's most distinguished super spreader events,' Noah said. 'No for real people. What are we doing here? Let's be honest. What are we doing? Like did none of you learn anything from the Grid Iron Dinner?'
Dozens of high-profile attendees tested positive for Covid-19 after attending the exclusive media event weeks earlier.
'Do you read any of your own newspapers? I mean, I expect this from Sean Hannity, but the rest of you What are you doing?,' he added.
'I spent the last two years telling everyone the importance of wearing masks and avoiding large indoor gatherings. Then the second someone offers you a free dinner you'll turn into Joe Rogan. I mean, Dr. Fauci dropped out,' Noah said.
'That should have been a pretty big sign. Fauci thought it was too dangerous to come tonight. Pete Davidson thinks it's okay,' Noah said, pointing to Kim Kardashian's date.
Kardashian and Davidson were among the biggest celebrities at the event, with other stars of note including Drew Barrymore, Martha Stewart, Chris Tucker, Michael Keaton and billionaire Melidna Gates.
Noah then turned his focus to the president.
'As you all know, President Biden's lack of a filter does get him into hot water sometimes, you know, last month he caused a huge international incidents saying that Vladimir Putin should be removed from power was very, very upsetting to Russia,' Noah said.
'So someone explained to them that none of the stuff Biden wants actually gets done.'
In late March Biden made waves by proclaiming Russian Leader Vladimir Putin 'cannot remain in power,' remarks that the Kremlin replayed on state TV airwaves as a personal attack on Russia.
'I'm really excited to be here tonight with the only group of Americans have a lower approval rating than I have,' Biden said
Noah was the first comedian to headline the event since Michelle Wolf in 2018, when she sparked controversy with jokes about the Trump administration. Trump had never attended the annual event during his presidency
Noah also poked fun at Saturday Night Live's Pete Davidson (left) who attended the event with Kim Kardashian
Noah enjoyed the night taking shots at politicians and journalist alike during the Correspondent's dinner
Noah then turned his attention to White House press secretary Jen Psaki, who is reportedly in negotiations with MSNBC for a contract after she soon leaves the White House.
'The word on the streets is actually that Jen Psaki is going to MSNBC next month. Yeah. Yeah, apparently just being on C-SPAN the ratings are too high. And she wanted more of a challenge, you know, want to switch things up? She can't laugh at that. Don't put the camera on her.'
'You know, moving to MSNBC is going to be a big switch for you because right now your current job is to make the Biden administration looks as good as possible, you know, at all costs. Now you're going to be at MSNBC and you're going to have to .... you'll be fine actually,' he quipped.
'By the way MSNBC Can I just say you guys are doing great work. I love watching your shows you know when Trump was in office, your shows were all about how bad he was. And now that Biden's in office, your shows are all about how bad Trump was. Consistency is important.'
Noah then poked fun at CNN's Jeffrey Toobin, who was caught masturbating on a work call.
'We're celebrating without you don't get comfortable. Not too comfortable, Jeffrey Toobin, not too comfortable,' Noah said. 'No, you know what? No, don't don't do him a bunch of haters. You know what? So what Jeffrey, you made a mistake. You whipped it out in front of your coworkers.'
'Where is Jeffrey Zucker?' Noah asked, referring to CNN's former head, who left after it was revealed he was having a relationship with a colleague.
'Jeff got fired off because he tried to keep his workplace relationship secret, which is weird, because if he really didn't want anyone to know about him, he could have just made a show about it on CNN Plus!'
'I know I know. It's so sad. CNN Plus gone, but forgotten,' Noah added, referring to CNN's now-failed streaming venture.
'I blame John King. That's true. Yeah, John, your magic wall can predict how every person in the country is going to vote in every county, but it couldn't give you a heads up that nobody wanted more CNN,' Noah added.

Celebrity chef Martha Stewart also attended the dinner event as a guest of DailyMail.com
American film director and actor Mario Van Peebles (left) was pictured with actor Chris Tucker
He then turned his attention to CNN's gratuitous use of the 'Breaking News' banner.
'My man over there, Chris, as the new head of news. His first order of business hire guy who knows how to turn off the breaking news banner. What happened with that they just put it on during the OJ chase and then never figured out how to get rid of it? The news is not always breaking!'
Noah also directed his wise cracks at Fox News, as he turned to the White House press corps: 'Everyday you demand answers on the pressing issues of the day. And then Fox News asked about Hunter Biden. And I'll be honest, though, I actually think that's a good thing. I really do. I think people need to be held accountable if they're using their dad's name to get ahead in life. I can't think of anyone better to ask about that than Peter Doocy.'
Doocy's prominent role with the channel came after his father Steve Doocy joined the channel.
He then turned his attention to primetime host Sean Hannity, who is dating Fox host Ainsley Earhardt.
'Sean Hannity and Ainsley Earhart's actually dating now. Yes. And I actually think it's beautiful to see an office romance of folks that won't enter the $20 million settlement. Yeah. I'm sure whoever Roger Ailes is right now. He's looking up and smiling.'
'Laura Ingram - wow. What can you say about her that hasn't already been said by the anti-Defamation League?' Noah added.
Then came Tucker Carlson.
'Tucker Carlson Are you kidding me? I mean, he's a beast who else could fill an entire show each night asking questions that Google could easily answer.
'Do vaccines work? Who really won the election? Who is the president right now? Is this America?' Noah said.

Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel (right) was at the event with his wife, supermodel Miranda Kerr White. Spiegel wore a black suit while white showed off a pink dress and diamond necklace
The comedian also took a minute to thank the reporters in the room for their duty as the fourth estate to make sure those in power are held accountable by the people, and noted that being able to roast a sitting president was a luxury afforded to him by America's freedoms.
'I stood here tonight and I made fun of the President of the United States, and I'm going to be fine,' Noah said.
But, he made one last dig at Biden as he concluded the evening, referencing the U.S.'s frenzied withdrawal from Afghanistan.
'Please be careful leaving tonight. This administration doesn't handle evacuations. Well. Good night, everybody.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10771993/Trevor-Noah-jokes-possible-2024-presidential-run-DeSantis-mocks-Krysten-Sinema.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-05-01T06:51:30Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10771993/Trevor-Noah-jokes-possible-2024-presidential-run-DeSantis-mocks-Krysten-Sinema.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false | 5 |

In 1966, five men started discussing and praying about the need for a local Christian school. Five years later, their dream was realized as Colorado Springs Christian School opened in Temple Baptist Church, which would later become Pulpit Rock church. Tuition was $40 per month.
Now celebrating its 50th anniversary, CSCS has seen more than 10,000 students enter its doors and 3,228 graduate. The school now has 1,150 students — including some in Woodland Park and Westcliffe — 130 employees and an $8 million budget. Tuition costs $6,500 to $9,700 a year.
The 2021 class graduated 71 students, who won more than $5 million in academic scholarships to attend some of the country’s best secular and Christian colleges. Many grads have attended the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, a mile to the east, and some now work there.
CSCS is one of 3,000 schools in the U.S. affiliated with the Springs-based Association of Christian Schools International.
“The bottom line is that our students can go wherever they desire to go and their education will carry them there,” said Roland DeRenzo, CSCS’ energetic superintendent and CEO, who had dreams of playing Major League Baseball before “God had a different plan.” He has been with the school since 2000.
Shaping minds and hearts
CSCS’ motto is: “Excellent Education. Biblical Perspective. Lifelong Service.”
The goal is students who are trained and transformed, who love God and want to serve the world.
“Brain research says you can’t just pour facts into people’s heads,” says DeRenzo, who also consults with other schools. Godly education requires a safe environment, dedicated teachers, who he calls mentors, and an emphasis on both intellectual and spiritual development.
“We stress the intellectual side of learning, but that’s empty without the heart. We help each young person see the giftedness God has intended them to live out.”
In CSCS’ 50th anniversary newsletter, DeRenzo said, “We live in a world that has become dangerous, violent and hostile to what we believe. To impact this culture we need to stand up, stand out, and be counted.”
Students have the opportunity to use their gifts through on-campus and off-campus service projects. CSCS students participate in the annual Great Fall Cleanup in the Cragmoor neighborhood.
“We encourage students to be servant leaders, not isolationists,” he says. “We’re not a monastery. We want to propel our graduates into the community. We’re developing good citizens who are going to contribute to the greater good.”
New emphasis on science
The Bible teaches that God created the cosmos, but Christians disagree about how he did it. CSCS teaches a creationist approach for a student body that includes young-Earth creationists who believe the cosmos is less than 10,000 years old and those who believe it’s billions of years old.
“They are confronted with the different beliefs on the age of the Earth so they are informed,” DeRenzo said.
This year the school launched a new STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) elective for middle school students.
“We teach science from a biblical world view that says we are uncovering God’s majesty as we study the universe,” says teacher Christie Wingo, who worked as an aerospace engineer. “We want our kids to explore and look and think critically.”
Recent lessons focused on the mechanics of flight, simple robotics and computer programming.
Programs such as these cost funding, a constant challenge at CSCS, which had nearly 1,400 students in the 1990s, a time when there were fewer competing educational alternatives. The school receives no federal dollars, but its 501c3 nonprofit, the Lion’s Foundation, provided $100,000 in grants to offset tuition costs in 2021-22, a figure DeRenzo is trying to grow. And one local family donated more than $15 million to help CSCS with various building projects.
“Unfortunately, the economic barrier is still there,” he says. But he insists financial challenges won’t interfere with CSCS’ mission.
“A lot of things have changed over the last 50 years, but CSCS continues to provide a Christ-centered, excellent education. We give all the glory to God for that.” | https://gazette.com/life/colorado-springs-christian-schools-celebrates-50-years/article_b19b2968-c0a9-11ec-8b01-b7a1a3632466.html | 2022-05-01T07:03:24Z | https://gazette.com/life/colorado-springs-christian-schools-celebrates-50-years/article_b19b2968-c0a9-11ec-8b01-b7a1a3632466.html | true | 1 |

One wide receiver the Rams could target in each round of the 2022 NFL draft
With Cooper Kupp, Allen Robinson and Van Jefferson, the Los Angeles Rams already have their starting wide receivers. It’s highly unlikely that anyone is going to unseat those three for a starting job in Week 1, whether that player is added in the draft or as a free agent.
That doesn’t mean the Rams are fully satisfied with their receiving corps. Sean McVay likes adding wideouts in the draft, whether it’s on Day 2 or much later on.
Here are five receivers the Rams could target this weekend, one in each round.
3rd round: Alec Pierce, Cincinnati
Pierce seems like the type of player that would certainly interest the Rams. He’s 6-foot-3 and ran a 4.41 in the 40-yard dash, a fantastic combination of size and speed. He used that to create big plays down the field, too, averaging 17.5 yards per catch in his career, scoring 13 touchdowns – including eight in 2021.
He has a chance to go much earlier than the Rams’ 104th overall pick, but if he slips a little bit to the end of the third, someone might have to hold Sean McVay back from sending in the card with Pierce’s name on it.
4th round: Tyquan Thornton, Baylor
Another big-play receiver, Thornton ran a 4.28 in the 40 at 6-foot-2, though he is on the slimmer side (181 pounds). One of the fastest players in the class, Thornton has the potential to become a really good deep threat in the NFL if he can learn to beat defenders with better releases at the line of scrimmage.
With better quarterback play at the next level, Thornton can unlock his true potential in the NFL. He does need to become more physical and stronger in order to make that happen, though.
5th round: Romeo Doubs, Nevada
Doubs is from Los Angeles so landing with the Rams would be a homecoming. He’s 6-foot-2 and has decent speed, though we don’t know exactly how fast he is after he was limited at the combine and Nevada’s pro day.
In each of his last two seasons, he recorded at least 1,000 yards receiving and averaged 14.8 yards per catch in his career, scoring 26 total touchdowns. He never had fewer than 562 yards in any of his four seasons and caught at least 43 passes each year, consistently producing during his time in college.
6th round: Bo Melton, Rutgers
Melton has good speed after blazing a 4.34 in the 40-yard dash, confirming what he showed on tape while at Rutgers. He was a two-time captain in college and Lance Zierlein of NFL.com praised his route-running ability, as well as his ball tracking when attempting to make a catch.
He’s not going to blow anyone away with his physical traits, however, and he’s just 5-foot-11, so he’s not a big, physical receiver, either. Melton would be a nice addition to the receiving corps in the sixth round, working behind what’s already a deep group of pass catchers.
7th round: Isaiah Weston, Northern Iowa
Weston weighed in at 6-foot-3 and 214 pounds at the combine, and he performed off the charts for a player his size. He ran a 4.42 in the 40, posted a 40-inch vertical and a 135-inch broad jump, ranking among the best at his position in each category.
So why is he projected to be a late-round pick? Because he played at the FCS level and doesn’t create as much separation as you want a receiver to. But if you’re going to take a chance on a receiver in the seventh round, a player with Weston’s traits is the one to do it on. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2585419958622/one-wide-receiver-the-rams-could-target-in-each-round-of-the-2022-nfl-draft | 2022-05-01T07:09:03Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2585419958622/one-wide-receiver-the-rams-could-target-in-each-round-of-the-2022-nfl-draft | true | 1 |

New Jill Biden Book Flops, Registers Microscopic Number of Sales in First Week
A new book about first lady Jill Biden has been greeted with a yawn by the American public.
Sales of “Jill: A Biography of the First Lady” have been so low that The Washington Free Beacon used the phrase “Doctor Dud” in the headline of its report on the book.
All of 250 copies of “Jill” were sold in its first week on the market.
The book was cited in a Friday report from Politico about the rather boring nature of the Biden administration.
According to the report, the usually negative tomes about former President Donald Trump that came out during Trump’s first two years in office have sold vastly better than books about the administration of President Joe Biden.
NPD BookScan, which keeps stats on book sales in the U.S., said Trump books have outsold Biden books “essentially 10:1.”
The blurb on Amazon to promote “Jill,” which sells for $26.10, says that “Dr. Jill Biden has been described as President Joe Biden’s greatest political asset.
“Like many women of her generation, she holds her commitments as wife, mother and grandmother at the center of her life. She is a professor, earned a doctorate in educational leadership, and taught at Northern Virginia Community College. She broke barriers as First Lady as the first to hold a paying job outside the White House.
“‘Jill’ is the story of this accomplished American woman.”
The blurb also implies that there is some drama to be mined in the pages of the book.
“From her earliest days dating Senator Biden, to her embrace of Biden’s young sons Beau and Hunter Biden and the birth of their daughter Ashley; her role by Joe Biden’s side through Senate reelection race after Senate reelection race; her years as Second Lady; to Joe’s successful third run for the Democratic presidential nomination, Jill has lived in the public eye,” it says.
“In this deeply reported biography, Julie Pace and Darlene Superville of The Associated Press, along with writer Evelyn M. Duffy, reveal some of the private sides of Jill Biden. We come to better understand her personality, which has held the Biden family together through tragedy and good fortune alike.”
The book does not, however, contain the most noted Jill Biden comment of the month.
That honor went to “This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America’s Future” by Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns.
According to Fox News, that book details Jill Biden’s reaction upon learning that Kamala Harris, then a U.S. senator from California who had attacked Joe Biden’s record on race during Democratic presidential debates, had been picked as his running mate.
“There are millions of people in the United States,” she allegedly said. “Why do we have to choose the one who attacked Joe?”

A look at what's happening around the majors today:
___
THE MAX
Mets ace Max Scherzer starts at night against Bryce Harper and the Phillies at Citi Field.
Scherzer is 3-0 with a 1.80 ERA in four starts during his first year in New York. The three-time Cy Young Award winner has struck out 33 in 25 innings while allowing just 11 hits.
Scherzer hasn’t lost in his last 23 starts, the longest streak since Walker Buehler went 23 straight starts without a loss for the Dodgers from 2019-2021.
Zach Eflin (1-1, 3.20 ERA) pitches for Philadelphia.
STREAKING
Luis Severino (2-0, 3.32 ERA) starts for the Yankees as they try for their ninth straight win, taking on the Royals in Kansas City. ... Sandy Alcantara (2-1, 1.78) pitches for the Marlins as they go for their eighth win in a row, hosting the Mariners. Logan Gilbert (3-0, 0.40) starts for Seattle.
ROCKY START
Colorado lefty Kyle Freeland tries again for his first win since signing a $64.5 million, five-year contract last month.
The 28-year-old Denver native is 0-3 with a 6.16 ERA in four starts for the Rockies this season.
He's set to pitch against the Reds at Coors Field.
AILING RAYS
A COVID-19 outbreak hit the Tampa Bay staff this weekend during its series against Minnesota at Tropicana Field, keeping pitching coach Kyle Snyder, field coordinator Paul Hoover, bench coach Matt Quatraro and bullpen coach Stan Boroski away from the team until further notice. None of them will be on the plane Sunday night when the Rays fly to Oakland for the start of a nine-game road trip.
“When something like this snowballs like it did today. . . . I mean, we’ve been dealing, dealing, dealing trying to contain it, and then the last day or two it’s hit us pretty hard,” manager Kevin Cash said.
CRUISIN' CARDS
The St. Louis Cardinals lead the majors with 22 stolen bases in 23 attempts.
The lone blemish came when slugger Albert Pujols tried to swipe third at Milwaukee on April 14 and was caught by Brewers pitcher Brandon Woodruff.
Harrison Bader tops the NL with six steals after a swipe against Arizona on Saturday. He had a total of nine steals in 2021.

Woman killed by pack of dogs while investigating dog attack
RED BAY, Ala. (WAFF) - An Alabama Department of Public Health employee was killed when a pack of dangerous dogs attacked her, according to the sheriff’s office. She was investigating an earlier dog attack at the time.
Jacqueline Beard, an Alabama Department of Public Health employee, was investigating a dog attack from earlier in the week, but she was then fatally attacked by the same pack of dogs, WAFF reports.
Someone called law enforcement Friday regarding a suspicious vehicle on Crumpton Road outside of Red Bay. When deputies with the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office arrived, they discovered Beard, who was pronounced dead on the scene.
According to a Facebook post from the sheriff’s office, several dogs started attacking residents while they were investigating the suspicious vehicle. One person received minor injuries.
The sheriff’s office says that some of the dogs had to be euthanized on the spot. The post also says that investigators believe Beard was attempting to make contact with the owner of the dogs when she was attacked and killed.
Brandy Dowdy, the owner of the dogs, was arrested for manslaughter and dangerous dog law. Neighbors said she is a dog advocate and owned about 27 dogs.
Beard worked for the state Department of Public Health for nearly 17 years.

Hot off the Press! Volume 3 of Clash of the Two Americas: The Birth of a Eurasian Manifest Destiny
The Canadian Patriot Review is proud to announce that the third volume of the Clash of the Two Americas trilogy is now available for purchase in paperback and digital editions.
Titled “The Birth of a Eurasian Manifest Destiny”, volume three ends in some ways how the trilogy began in 1776 as told in Volume 1… as an “Unfinished Symphony”.
This modern symphony is ripe with potential just as it was in 1776, yet the tune has taken on new life with exciting new variations embodying an ecumenical spirit now coming alive by the great civilizations of Eurasia.
Like all great classical masterpieces, this variation is both harmonious, yet also filled with dissonances.
Some of those dissonances are necessary parts of the composition, and others are entirely unnecessary consequences of the very active and very ugly existence of an oligarchical system and its associated ideological commitments and impulses which stand in defiance to natural law.
This is the same oligarchical system that has maintained a continuous existence since the dark days of ancient Babylon and which is committed to a world order incapable of self-perfection according to any standard of universal principles such as are found in the founding documents of the United States of America.
Today’s London-centered oligarchy also knows that the new paradigm being driven by the multipolar alliance, premised as it is on open system thinking, win-win cooperation, national sovereignty and constant growth of the productive powers of labor is incompatible with the empire’s static demands for humanity and even the universe as a whole. From this standpoint the term “Manifest Destiny” will take on new vitality and meaning as a theme stretching back to the earliest records of civilisation to our present crisis-ridden age. | https://matthewehret.substack.com/p/hot-off-the-press-volume-3-of-clash | 2022-05-01T07:33:49Z | https://matthewehret.substack.com/p/hot-off-the-press-volume-3-of-clash | true | 2 |

Two Clips of Biden's New Disinformation Chief Singing Prove Why She's the Wrong Person for the Job
Nina Jankowicz is about as qualified to lead a “Disinformation Governance Board” under the Department of Homeland Security as she is to head a “Leftist Propaganda Jingle Board” under the National Endowment for the Arts.
Sadly, she is, in fact, in charge of the first one. The existence of that dystopian-sounding agency was announced this week and Jankowicz, a fellow with the Wilson Center who focuses on disinformation, was tapped to lead it. Politico, which broke the news, said the board will “coordinate countering misinformation related to homeland security, focused specifically on irregular migration and Russia.”
“Irregular migration” is the latest nice way of saying illegal immigration. While countering misleading information given to potential migrants by human traffickers looking to entice them to make the journey to the border is theoretically useful, it’s not yet been made clear by DHS why we need an agency with an Orwellian name to do it.
As for Russia, Jankowicz infamously whiffed on the biggest Kremlin-related disinformation story in recent memory, repeatedly implying or declaring that Hunter Biden’s laptop was somehow a product of the Putin regime.
But let’s not talk about that right now. Let’s talk about Nina Jankowicz’s singing.
Yes, singing. It seems that Jankowicz is a wannabe parodic crooner. And, being mildly famous in certain corners of the Beltway, she has a) a platform with which to put her work out there and b) absolutely no filter.
Here she is giving us her rendition of “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” from “Mary Poppins” — only this time it’s about (ugh) disinformation. As actor and conservative social media icon James Woods put it, “This one absolutely has to go into the 2022 Time Capsule.”
This one absolutely has to go into the 2022 Time Capsule. #MinistryOfTruth pic.twitter.com/gww1JncUZW
— James Woods (@RealJamesWoods) April 29, 2022
“Information laundering is really quite ferocious / It’s when a huckster takes some lies and makes them sound precocious,” Jankowicz sings in the clip. “By saying them in Congress or a mainstream outlet / So disinformation’s origins are slightly less atrocious.”
“It’s how you hide a little, hide a little lie,” she continued.
“When Rudy Giuliani shared bad intel from Ukraine / Or when TikTok influencers say COVID can’t cause pain / They’re laundering disinfo and we really should take note / and not support their lies with our wallet, voice or vote.”
(At The Western Journal, we’ve noted how loosely the Biden White House seems to treat the term “disinformation,” which should worry all of us — particularly since this is now one of the arbiters of what constitutes disinformation. We’ll keep bringing America the truth about the administration’s attempt to label real news as fake; you can help us by subscribing.)
That’s troubling enough for reasons we’ll get to in a moment. In the meanwhile, perhaps you want a sample of another one of Jankowicz’s hits. Here she is singing a rendition of David Friedman’s “My Simple Christmas Wish” with a slight alteration to the lyrics:
WARNING: The following video contains graphic language that some viewers will find offensive.
This is Biden’s director of the Disinformation Governance Board.
— The Post Millennial (@TPostMillennial) April 29, 2022
“I want to be rich famous and powerful / Step on all my enemies and never do a thing,” she croons. However, instead of the original lyrics — “What do I have to fake to be famous and powerful?” — she sings, “Who do I f*** to be famous and powerful?”
All right, perhaps you can chalk the last one up to a bad karaoke performer having a bit of fun. If she wasn’t well-served that evening, she certainly gives off that vibe. This was apparently from a 2015 show/party put on by La-Ti-Do — “where spoken word and musical theatre collide every Monday night,” according to a description on the YouTube post of this fiasco — titled “I Hate the Holidays.” Listen to Jankowicz’s version of the song more than once and you will, too.
However, Mary Poppins oughtn’t be let off the hook so easily for ruining “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” — not when she’s just been put in charge of what conservatives are derisively calling the “Ministry of Truth.”
If someone thinks something is disinformation and doesn’t wish to support it “with our wallet, voice or vote,” that’s one thing as an individual. It’s quite another when Jankowicz is actively leading the DHS’ Disinformation Governance Board — which uses tax dollars to fight whatever the administration thinks is fake news — and she seems to have an expansive view of disinformation.
She also was a peddler of disinformation of her own — namely, regarding Hunter Biden’s laptop, which she repeatedly implied was somehow a product of Russia.
This is from Jankowicz live-tweeting during the 2020 presidential debates:
Back on the “laptop from hell,” apparently- Biden notes 50 former natsec officials and 5 former CIA heads that believe the laptop is a Russian influence op.
Trump says “Russia, Russia, Russia.”
— Nina Jankowicz 🇺🇦🇺🇸 (@wiczipedia) October 23, 2020
But wait! She said Wednesday this was just right-wing — dare I say it? — disinformation.
“For those who believe this tweet is a key to all my views, it is simply a direct quote from both candidates during the final presidential debate. If you look at my timeline, you will see I was livetweeting that evening,” she wrote.
For those who believe this tweet is a key to all my views, it is simply a direct quote from both candidates during the final presidential debate. If you look at my timeline, you will see I was livetweeting that evening. https://t.co/nI7ZgBtTLC https://t.co/4DjBl9bzt0
— Nina Jankowicz 🇺🇦🇺🇸 (@wiczipedia) April 27, 2022
All right, then. What about this tweet regarding a 2021 Office of the Director of National Intelligence report about foreign interference in the 2020 election? Just her passing information along again, right?
IC has a high degree of confidence that the Kremlin used proxies to push influence narratives, including misleading or unsubstantiated claims about President Biden, to US media, officials, and influencers, some close to President Trump.
A clear nod to the alleged Hunter laptop.
— Nina Jankowicz 🇺🇦🇺🇸 (@wiczipedia) March 16, 2021
Of course, no evidence has publicly been produced that anything on the laptop was “misleading or unsubstantiated.” In fact, its contents are acknowledged as fact by virtually every serious news organization by this point.
Or what about this tweet, where she passed along another article which she said cast “yet more doubt on the provenance of the NY Post’s Hunter Biden [laptop] story”?
Lots of news yesterday, so initially missed this piece by @shustry casting yet more doubt on the provenance of the NY Post’s Hunter Biden story.
In 2019, people in Ukraine were trying to sell access to alleged Biden emails for $5 million. https://t.co/khn5TVrMRW
— Nina Jankowicz 🇺🇦🇺🇸 (@wiczipedia) October 22, 2020
And these are just her tweets. As the New York Post pointed out, this is what she said about the laptop at the time: “We should view it as a Trump campaign product.”
Even if the Disinformation Governance Board’s purview remains confined to Russia and “irregular migration” — and the odds of that are infinitesimal — she’s been so thoroughly wrong on the one Kremlin-related disinformation story that she shouldn’t be at the helm.
Jankowicz made it clear: She thought the laptop was a lie. And now, Mary Poppins doesn’t just want to “not support” what she calls “lies with our wallet, voice or vote.” She wants to do it with tax dollars from your wallet and the amplified voice of the federal government. That prospect is every bit as frightening as a cross-country car trip with nothing but Nina Jankowicz songs playing on the stereo.

Delhi Capitals are up against Lucknow Super Giants in match no. 45 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday. The match will feature the future captaincy prospects of the Indian cricket team locking horns, as Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul seek to get the better of each other. Both teams are coming off victories in their previous matches, as DC defeated KKR by four wickets, while LSG defeated PBKS by 20 runs in their last game.
LSG currently sit at the third spot in the IPL 2022 points table with six wins, three defeats and 12 points to their credit. On the other hand, DC sit sixth in the standings with four wins and four defeats from eight games. In terms of head-to-head stats, LSG have an upper hand over DC, as they have already defeated Pant’s team once in their debut campaign.

2023: Fear Grips APC Presidential Aspirants As Buhari Keeps Mum on Anointed Candidate
- There is reportedly confusion among all the APC presidential aspirants on who among them will emerge as the party's candidate
- Many of them are said to be groping in the dark and uncertain about who President Muhammadu Buhari will support
- The president is said to have been endorsing all the aspirants who have come to him to indicate interest in the position

FCT, Abuja - A report by the Daily Sun newspaper indicates that aspirants on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) are currently in confusion and fear over the modality the candidate of the party will emerge after the primaries for the 2023 presidential election.
Although the aspirants have been declaring and have even started purchasing the party’s N100 million expression of interest and nomination forms, however, many of them are groping in the dark and uncertain about how the party’s candidate will finally emerge.
As a mark of respect, almost all the aspirants had approached President Muhammadu Buhari to notify him of their intentions before declaring openly, but surprisingly they all got the same presidential endorsement response.
However, despite overcoming the astronomical raising of the nomination form fee, the aspirants appear to be confused following President Buhari’s technical endorsements of almost all the aspirants.

More importantly, according to sources, there is every likelihood of a repeat of what played out during the party’s national convention when President Buhari unilaterally anointed Senator Abdullahi Adamu and tactically intimidated other aspirants into withdrawing from the race.
Faced with the uncertainties, the aspirants, in a desperate attempt to outsmart one another, have continued to drop the name of Mr. President as well as playing ethnic cards to be at a vantage position.
Speaking on the chances of the presidential aspirants, a member of the National Working Committee said it is as bleak as ever, arguing that it is almost impossible for any member of the party to categorically say how the candidate of the party will emerge.
His words:
“Whoever tells you that he knows how the presidential candidate of the party will emerge must be economical with the truth.
“I can tell you that there is palpable anxiety and fear in the minds of the aspirants because they have all concluded that President Buhari will determine who flies the flag of the party.
“Uppermost in the minds of the aspirants is that the president will still adopt the measure he used during our national convention in anointing the presidential candidate of the party.”
Equally reacting to the situation, a member of the support group of one of the aspirants, said:
“Truth be told, none of the presidential aspirants is very sure of getting the ticket of the party for now. The president is not also helping matters. This aspirant will inform him of his intention, he will not discourage him, but rather encourage him to go ahead.”
2023: Former Ogun state governor, Ibikunle Amosun joins presidential race
Former governor of Ogun state, Senator Ibikunle Amosun is the latest politician who joined the 2023 presidential race under the platform of the ruling APC.
Senate President, Dr. Ahmad Lawan, made this known during plenary in the red chambers on Wednesday, May 27.
Dr. Lawan read a letter of notification from the senator representing Ogun Central Senatorial District, announcing his intention to contest for the office of the president.
2023: Crisis rocks APC as officials allegedly tamper with delegates’ list
Meanwhile, there are indications that the delegates' list of the APC may have been tampered with.
Aggrieved party officials say delegates' list circulated contained the names of some APC members that left out of their volition or ceased being members due to circumstances beyond their control, including death.
Some party sources said the planned election of delegates coming up about two weeks might not hold in some states where there is little or no disputes over the list of delegates.

NEW YORK (AP) — The 500 audience members were sitting in neat rows, and they’d definitely gotten the memo on attire: All were perfectly dressed in a classic gray Thom Browne suit.
They were very quiet, too, perhaps because they knew Browne’s show Friday evening was a special occasion, held in New York rather than Paris where he usually stages shows, to coincide with Monday’s Met Gala. But also probably because they were stuffed animals.
To be precise, these were teddy bears, lined in tiny chairs to hear a motivational “Teddy Talk.”
It was yet another Browne extravaganza, more a slice of theater or performance art than a runway show, this time with an unusually playful vibe. In his narrated script, Browne — a consummate showman who is also one of America’s most successful designers — sought to educate the crowd of bears and humans (in bigger chairs) about finding one’s authentic self. In this case, Browne was saying, we all have a “toy version” that’s more exaggerated and crazier, but one that’s worth connecting with.
How did this high concept connect to fashion? That’s a question that Browne answers, luckily, with ensembles that are small feats of creative engineering. Here, his toy-store theme extended from countless versions of his classic gray suit, trimmed and pleated in brightly colored silks, to his whimsical handbags and footwear, like the alphabet-block purses and platform shoes, or the “Hector” handbags, inspired by his own dog, extended to toy ponies and other nursery creatures.
Theshow,staged in an airy theater on Manhattan’s far west side, began with two huge doors opening on an imaginary shop. A few shoppers entered in tweeds and tall, stovepipe-like hats, a vaguely 19th-century look. One group together carried an extra-long “Hector” bag, with three sets of handles.
“New York, where you come to find yourself,” announced the soundtrack. “A lifelong search, a lifetime of questions … finally and completely answered.” The “Teddy Talk” was beginning.
The speaker or “head bear” was dressed in a signature Browne gray flannel short suit, but with a teddy-themed hat and bear-like shearling gloves and platform boots. Via the soundtrack, he told his bear-filled audience about his favorite New Yorkers who had been lost, until they came to this store, “to find their true selves.”
A procession followed of 25 smartly dressed adults, both women and men in various tweeds and flannels but with the classic looks brightened with bright colors — red, white and blue trim, or sometimes gold and green. Their hair was styled in dramatic topiary-like creations amounting to head-topping modern sculptures. But the fantasy element was yet to come: a second procession of 25 more models, each a “toy version” of one of the previous 25.
These human toys had splotchy makeup and exaggerated features. The toys they represented were old-school, like Slinkys, those classic colored alphabet blocks, or jack-in-the-boxes. Each “adult” element was exaggerated — sometimes literally blown up to fantastical proportions. Accessories were particularly fanciful, especially those alphabet-block shoes — literally piles of blocks which, it must be said, were better navigated by the female models than the men.
In the front row was recent Grammy winner Jon Batiste, in a checked Browne suit, and actor-musician Leslie Odom Jr. in a cream-colored shorts ensemble, among others. Vogue’s Anna Wintour, three days away from the Met Gala she runs, was next to Andrew Bolton, head of the Met’s Costume Institute and curator of the exhibit to be launched by the gala, “In America: An Anthology of Fashion.” Bolton is also Browne’s life partner.
The culmination of the sartorial storytelling was a “meeting” of the two groups, when both the adults and their toy versions came back out, then turned to face and actually speak to each other, laughing and smiling.
Models laughing and talking on the runway? That may have been the most unique element of all. “Finding your true self,” the speaker intoned at the end. “Unique. Authentic. Confident. Always be true to yourselves.” | https://cw39.com/news/entertainment/ap-entertainment/thom-browne-holds-a-teddy-talk-in-playful-toy-themed-show/ | 2022-05-01T08:18:53Z | https://cw39.com/news/entertainment/ap-entertainment/thom-browne-holds-a-teddy-talk-in-playful-toy-themed-show/ | true | 24 |
Qantas is expected to confirm plans to launch flights connecting Australia’s east coast to London and New York non-stop on Monday with a blockbuster order for new jets to operate the ultra-long haul routes.
The airline has spent almost five years working on so-called “Project Sunrise”, plotting record-breaking flights of more than 20 hours, and is set to confirm an order for up to a dozen Airbus A350-1000s at Sydney Airport on Monday morning.
Qantas had intended to launch its Sunrise flights in early 2023 but the COVID-19 pandemic put the project on hold.
An Airbus-owned A350 was on route from the plane manufacturer’s base in Toulouse, France and was due to touch down in Perth just before 7pm local time (9pm eastern time), according to tracking site FlightRadar24.
Industry sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, confirmed Monday’s announcement would also include the finalisation of Qantas’ domestic fleet replacement, which involves an order of up to 134 Airbus A320neo and A220 aircraft over the next decade.
The A220 is not currently used by any local airline. An A220 owned by airBaltic - which does not usually fly to Australia - landed at Sydney Airport on Saturday night, FlightRadar24 shows.
A spokesman for Qantas declined to comment on Sunday. On Friday, the airline sent journalists a media alert flagging a “significant announcement” at Sydney Airport on Monday.
The West Australian first reported that Monday’s announcement would involve confirming the massive order with Airbus. Reuters also reported details of the order.
Qantas confirmed in late 2019 that it had selected the A350 for its Project Sunrise flights and said in December last year it had also chosen Airbus to renew its ageing domestic fleet.
It was a double blow for the American manufacturer Boeing, whose 737s are the current backbone of Qantas’ domestic operations and had also pitched its new 777X for the record-breaking non-stop flights to London and New York.

Elon Musk tweets he’s buying Coca-Cola next to ‘put the cocaine back in’
TAMPA, Fla. ( WFLA ) — Tesla CEO Elon Musk jokingly tweeted Wednesday that his next business venture will be to purchase the popular soft drink manufacturer Coca-Cola to “put the cocaine back in” the drink.
“Next I’m buying Coca-Cola to put the cocaine back in,” Musk’s tweet said. Less than 24 hours later, the post surpassed half a million retweets and 3 million likes.
While the comment was more than likely satirical in nature, it does bear some historical truth.
Will Elon Musk restore Trump’s Twitter account?In the late 1800s, cocaine was used as a primary ingredient for flavor in Coca-Cola, according to the DEA Museum . The amount of cocaine added to the drink slowly reduced over time until it was removed from the list of ingredients entirely in the early 1900s.
“Today the extract of the coca leaves, a de-cocainized version, is manufactured in the United States and used in the flavoring for Coca-Cola,” an excerpt on the DEA Museum’s website stated. “The crude cocaine that is left over is used by select pharmaceutical companies for medicines.”
Musk’s tongue-in-cheek comment came days after the billionaire reached an agreement to buy Twitter for roughly $44 billion .
Musk said in a joint statement with Twitter that he wants to make the service “better than ever.” He added that new features such as getting rid of automated “spam” accounts and making its algorithms open to the public could be on the horizon.
The outspoken Tesla CEO has said he wanted to own and privatize Twitter because he thinks it’s not living up to its potential as a platform for free speech.
