MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Half of Vermont’s 14 counties have been rated as having high community levels of COVID-19, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The rankings are based on a handful of factors including new hospital admissions for COVID-19, recent case counts, and the community’s overall hospital capacity.
Washington County reported the highest number of cases per 100,000 individuals, followed by Chittenden County and Bennington County. The other counties with high community levels of the virus are Addison, Franklin, Grand Isle and Orleans.
Windham, Rutland and Essex counties have been given a “low” rating by the CDC, with the remaining counties rated at medium risk.
The agency recommends people in counties with high community levels of COVID-19 take actions to reduce transmission, such as wearing a mask in indoor public spaces. | https://www.nhregister.com/news/article/CDC-Half-of-Vermont-s-14-counties-have-high-17140173.php | 2022-05-01T20:24:53Z | https://www.nhregister.com/news/article/CDC-Half-of-Vermont-s-14-counties-have-high-17140173.php | false | null |
Biden roasts Trump, GOP, himself at correspondents’ dinner
WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House press corps’ annual gala returned Saturday night along with the roasting of Washington, the journalists who cover it and the man at the helm: President Joe Biden.
The White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, sidelined by the pandemic in 2020 and 2021, featured Biden as the first president in six years to accept an invitation. Donald Trump shunned the event while in office.
“Just imagine if my predecessor came to this dinner this year,” Biden told an audience of 2,600, among them journalists, government officials and celebrities. “Now that would really have been a real coup.”
The president took the opportunity to test out his comedic chops, making light of the criticism he has faced in his 15 months in office while taking aim at his predecessor, the Republican Party and the members of the press.
“I’m really excited to be here tonight with the only group of Americans with a lower approval rating than I have,” Biden said to the Hilton ballroom filled with members of the media.
Biden also made light of the “Let’s Go Brandon” slogan, which has become the right’s stand-in for swearing at the president.
“Republicans seem to support one fella, some guy named Brandon,” Biden said, causing an uproar of laughter among the crowd. “He’s having a really good year. I’m happy for him.”
As far as roasting the GOP, he said, “There’s nothing I can say about the GOP that Kevin McCarthy hasn’t already put on tape.”
He also took a jab at Fox News. “I know there are a lot of 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 has to prove they are fully vaccinated and boosted,” Biden said. “Just contact your favorite Fox News reporter. They’re all here. Vaccinated and boosted.”
In addition to speeches from Biden and comedian Trevor Noah, the hourslong event had taped skits from talk-show host James Corden, comedian Bill Eichner and even Biden himself.
“Thank you for having me here,” Noah said to Biden. “And I was a little confused on why me, but then I was told that you get your highest approval ratings when a biracial African guy is standing next to you.”
While the majority of the speech was filled with cutting jabs, Biden did make note of the important role journalism plays in American democracy, especially in the last decade.
“I mean this from the bottom of my heart, that you, the free press, matter more than you ever did in the last century,” he said. “You are the guardians of the truth.”
The dinner had other serious moments, with tributes to pioneer journalists of color, aspiring student reporters as well as a dedication to the journalists detained, injured or killed during the coverage of the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The premier event for news media in Washington, the correspondents’ dinner mixed Washington journalists like CNN’s Jake Tapper and MSNBC’s Joy-Ann Reid with celebrities Kim Kardashian, Pete Davidson, Brooke Shields, Caitlyn Jenner, Drew Barrymore and Martha Stewart. Among the large swath of government officials and other prominent figures was Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
Accompanied by the first lady, the president came to the event while trying to strike a careful balance with the nation fatigued by the pandemic yet facing an uptick in infections. The ongoing national threat has struck closer to home for the president: Vice President Kamala Harris tested positive this past week and Dr. Anthony Fauci skipped the dinner for health precautions.
The U.S. was experiencing a COVID-19 case spike from a highly contagious subvariant of omicron, with confirmed infections rising to about 44,000 per day, up from 26,000 a month ago. Still, virus deaths and hospitalizations were near, or at, pandemic lows, with the BA.2 variant proving less severe than earlier virus strains.
In the wake of the recent Gridiron Club press dinner in Washington, dozens of attendees, including members of Congress and of Biden’s Cabinet and journalists, tested positive for COVID-19. The White House Correspondents’ Association said it was requiring same-day antigen testing for its dinner attendees even before the Gridiron outbreak, then added a vaccination requirement.
Biden, 79, decided to pass up the meal but turn up later for the program. While he planned to be masked when not speaking, a maskless president greeted award winners on the dais and could be seen smiling broadly during the dinner program.
The correspondents’ dinner debuted in 1921. Three years later, Calvin Coolidge became the first president to attend and all have since, except Trump. Jimmy Carter and Richard Nixon opted not to attend every year of their presidencies, however, and Reagan, then recovering from an assassination attempt, missed the 1981 installment — but called in from Camp David.
“The thing I think this shows is the restoration to the health of the relationship,” Harold Holzer, author of the book “The Presidents vs. The Press” and the director of the Roosevelt House Public Policy Institute at Hunter College in New York, said ahead of the dinner. “It’s still barbed, there are still tense moments. But that’s OK.”

$600 million investment by Bodhi Tree will help scale India's biggest and most successful test-prep company; leverage digital technology to dramatically improve learning outcomes for students in India and beyond
MUMBAI, India, May 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- ALLEN Career Institute (ALLEN) and Bodhi Tree Systems have announced a strategic partnership with the goal of building the world's most admired and trusted education brand.
ALLEN is an education powerhouse with an unparalleled track record of success in the world's most competitive college entrance examinations and Olympiads. ALLEN has a pan-India footprint with a growing presence in Middle East through 138 classroom centers in 46 cities, a team of highly dedicated and renowned faculty members, and a pedagogy that has been perfected over three decades. ALLEN's partnership with Bodhi Tree Systems will build further on the test-prep offering and deliver at-scale positive impact for millions of students in test-prep and K12 segments, using technology as the core driver of value.
Bodhi Tree Systems is a newly formed platform between Lupa Systems Founder and CEO James Murdoch and Uday Shankar, the former president of The Walt Disney Company Asia Pacific and former Chairman of Star and Disney India. Bodhi Tree Systems will leverage its founders' shared track record of building iconic consumer businesses to build ALLEN into a world-class digital education business of the future. Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), the sovereign wealth fund of the State of Qatar, is an investor in Bodhi Tree Systems.
"Education is a critical consumer need, driven by its deeply transformative impact on lives and livelihoods of consumers," Murdoch and Shankar said. "We believe that education is on the cusp of a technology led renaissance that will fundamentally alter how education is imparted and will increase its efficacy. ALLEN's unrivaled success and scale provide the right foundation to build the digital education company of the future. We are excited to work with the Maheshwari family to build an outcomes-focused digital education company that delivers on the aspirations of millions of learners and parents in India and beyond."
Founded by Rajesh Maheshwari in 1988, ALLEN is India's most respected test prep brand that has created a positive transformational impact on over 2.5 million young lives since its inception. Aspirants for engineering and medical college entrance exams have gained tremendously from ALLEN's high-quality pedagogy, resulting in an unparalleled track record of selections in prestigious exams such as IIT JEE Mains & Advanced, NEET-UG, KVPY, and the Olympiads.
Senior-most Director of ALLEN, Govind Maheshwari, said, "Our decision to enter into this strategic partnership with Bodhi Tree is founded on shared values, principles and an aligned vision of creating societal impact at scale through education globally."
"Since its inception, ALLEN has focused on providing high quality education to students to help them achieve their highest potential and fulfil their career aspirations. In the process, we have helped create hundreds of thousands of doctors and engineers, who contribute to building India and the society of today. Our partnership with Bodhi Tree is an essential ingredient in furthering our mission to significantly increase ALLEN's reach and impact. We are quite pleased and excited that the Bodhi Tree team also sees value in combining their expertise with our experience in Education.", Rajesh Maheshwari said.
ALLEN's Director Naveen Maheshwari said, "The journey of ALLEN has been one of always giving back to the society. ALLEN's student-centric caring system has been its highlight. We believe this partnership is only going to take our pedagogy, caring-system and values to a very wide student community which was not able to associate with ALLEN otherwise due to physical constraints."
Chairman-designate of the new Board, Brajesh Maheshwari further mentioned, "Most of the edtech products & services in the market are currently not solving for the needs of a student. With ALLEN's time-tested pedagogy and Bodhi Tree's track record in technology, the 2 T's – 'Teaching' and 'Technology', will now come together to finally solve the problems of millions of students of outcome-driven learning in a tech-enabled environment."
Keshav Maheshwari, from the second generation of the Maheshwari Family, mentioned, "Our partnership with Bodhi Tree will not only help us scale our Indian operations through technology but also fuel our growth journey in the Middle East."

Bauer’s Shoes laments loss of Nike
Bauer’s Shoes store has been selling the Nike brand of athletic shoes for 41 years. Since the footware giant began focusing more on consumer direct retail in the past few years, Keith Bauer has been waiting for the other shoe to drop. In January, the store received an email. Nike just did it.
Bauer says the email stated the company was changing the way they do business. He could sell the Nike stock he had on hand, but all previously confirmed orders made for delivery through September were officially cancelled.
“There was absolutely no recourse,” Keith says. “We were done.”
Bauer’s has been a mainstay on the Harlan square for almost a century and the sneakers with the famous swoosh accounts for around 15% of their sales.
“We weren’t shocked,” he states. “Almost everybody else in our size class has lost Nike, but they usually found a technical reason to chop these people off. We have jumped through all the hoops and requirements, so we have actually had them longer than most.”

N-Power: FG employs 16,629 unemployed youths in Kano State
• Reaffirms approval of N5.9bn for training, monthly allowance of Batch C beneficiaries
No fewer than 16,629 unemployed youths in Kano State are to be employed under Batch C of the N-Power scheme being implemented by the Federal Government across the country.
This was sequel to the successful exit of 18,042 youths who participated in Batches A and B of the N-Power Programme.
Under the new arrangement, no fewer than 177 youths in Kano State are currently undergoing training in Smart Phone repairs and services.
The training initiated by the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Social Development and Disaster Management is being implemented under the N-Skills programme a component of the N-Power Programme.
Speaking at the end of the exercise, Sadiya Umar Farouq, affirmed that Federal Government is committing the sum of over N5.9 billion on training, tooling and monthly stipends for the Batch C beneficiaries of the N-Power Programme.
The Minister who spoke through Special Assistant to the President, Dr Mahmoud Nasir, warned the N-Skills beneficiaries not to sell starter packs handed over to them after the programme which was well conceived to take them out of unemployment and turn them to employers of labour.
The N-Skills programme, is based on a certification system and accreditation of practical training provided through the informal apprenticeship System anchored by Master Craft Persons (MCPs) and the formal training system including using the Community Skills Development Centres (COSDECs) in many States.

“The programme aims to improve the quality and relevance of skills delivered using a certification system and to ease the transition of target beneficiaries to full-time skilled employment, self-employment and/or further their education. It targets marginalized and disadvantaged population, including those with primary or no-formal education.
“The N-Skills programme is in line with the National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF) for the development, classification and recognition of skills, knowledge and competencies acquired by individuals, irrespective of where and how the training or skill is acquired.
“It will help in bridging the gap in demand for standard and market relevant skills.
“The N-Skills accommodates many skills-based enterprises, this Smart Phone Repairs is used to pilot the programme under the N-Power non-graduate component.
“The programme is designed to train, tool and transition marginalized unemployed youths into the labour market to gainfully be employed. The Ministry worked with technical service providers to provide the N-Skills training services to 6,475 unemployed youths across the Federation.
“On successful completion of the in-centre training, beneficiaries will be issued a Certificate of Attendance and given a starter pack such as Rework Soldering Station (Soldering Iron), Digital Multimeter, Set of Precision Screwdriver and Repair Tool Kit as well as Magnifying lamp that would enable them to start the smartphone repairs business.
“Business Clinics are also being set up in partnership with States and FCT to provide post-training business start-up and entrepreneurship mentoring and support to the beneficiaries of the programme.
“This is consistent with the national aspiration of lifting 100 million Nigerians out of poverty in 10 years,” she said.
On the N-Power programme, Farouq said: “The graduate and non-graduate components of the N-Power programme have been expanded to provide job opportunities for 16,629 unemployed youths in Kano State under Batch C, following the successfully exiting of 18,042 youths under Batches A & B.
“You may wish to note that under the National Social Investment Programme, NSIP, the Federal Government is investing over N5.9 billion for the training, tooling and/or payment of monthly stipends on the Batch C beneficiaries.
“This is a tremendous direct injection of resources at the grassroots and in the hands of the youths.”
Through the N-Power Programme, the provision of much-needed services in the education, health and agricultural sectors will be enhanced in the State and the beneficiaries will be engaged in income-generating activities that would contribute to local economic growth,” the Minister noted.
One of the beneficiaries, Maha Jamilu Alkali, commended the Federal Government for the gesture which he said would go a long way to address high rate of unemployment among the youths in the state.

SHRIKANT SHUKLA, the cab driver whose 19-year-old daughter Sonam was murdered by a 23-year-old man from their locality in Goregaon (west) said he had no idea who the accused was and wants the government to give the accused capital punishment.
“My daughter will not come back. He (accused) should be hanged too. Otherwise, he will come out of jail and again commit such crimes. I was working day and night to save money for the future of my two daughters and a son. She was preparing for medical entrance exam. My second daughter is a microbiology student. I never imagined I will have to see this day… I just want the police to ensure he gets the punishment he deserves,” Shukla told The Indian Express.
“I never knew that my daughter was known to him. She used to go to his bakery to buy bread. That day she was passing by his bakery when he called her and took him to his house. He had one sided love for her. After 9.30 pm her phone was switched off and after waiting till 12 am we went to the police to file a missing complaint. But he murdered her even before we could file a missing case,” said Shukla.
The accused, Shahjib Ansari, was produced before a magistrate court on Sunday and remanded to police custody till May 4.

Premier Daniel Andrews heaped praise on the one-off payment saying it would go a long way to help families.
'This is a great opportunity for Victorians to save money, ease the cost of living, and cut their energy bills,' he said.
'Big power companies rely on people not having the time, information or knowledge to save money.
'But we know better deals are out there - and we're helping Victorian families find them.'

The scheme will open up on July 1 and run until June 30 2023.

Property managers operating illegally face $20,000 in fines and or 6 months in jail
Property managers operating illegally face $20,000 in fines and or 6 months in jail
By Lynda Carson - April 29, 2022
Oakland - Did you know that tenants can file complaints against residential property managers who are operating illegally, resulting in desist and refrain orders at residential properties, and the illegally operating property managers facing fines of $20,000, and or 6 months in jail?
According to California Business and Professions Code Section 101139; Notice: Business and Professions Code Section 10139 provides that "Any person acting as a real estate broker or real estate salesperson without a license or who advertises using words indicating that he or she is a real estate broker without being so licensed shall be guilty of a public offense punishable by a fine not exceeding twenty 23 thousand dollars ($20,000), or by imprisonment in the county jail for a term not to exceed six months, or by both fine and imprisonment; or if a corporation, be punished by a fine not exceeding sixty thousand dollars ($60,000)."
As an example, during 2011, complaints filed against Ryan Nathan and RMD Services resulted in Nathan and RMD receiving desist and refrain orders, ordering them to stop from; “performing any acts within the State of California for which a real estate broker license is required. In particular, you are ordered to desist and refrain from soliciting or providing or participating in property management services for others and for compensation, unless and until you obtain a real estate broker license issued by the Department.”
In Oakland, Ryan Nathan and RMD Services used to manage some properties for the notorious landlord Richard Singer, who went to prison for hiring someone to burn down one out of two low-income hotels Singer owned in Oakland.
Additionally, in contrast, tenant complaints resulted in a court ordering Oakland landlord Hong Gardner and her husband John J. Gardner to stop collecting rents at their properties, and abate all existing housing code violations, must end all future utility shutoffs due to their activities, and must comply with all relevant laws at their residential rental properties.
In another case in Oakland, tenant complaints and a lawsuit resulted in the former owners and managers of the California Hotel being ordered by the courts to desist from turning off their gas, water and electricity.
Other entities in California that have received desist and refrain orders may be found by clicking here.
Licensing Laws Are Applicable Throughout California:
Reportedly, “For anyone stepping into managing a property on behalf of the owner, the first requirement is to have a property management license in California. The regulation (10131-b) clearly states that buying, selling, or leasing property without a license, is unlawful. To apply for the real estate license, the following criteria need to be met as per the California Property Management Laws:”
• The applicant must be a minimum of 18 years of age
• Should be a US citizen
• Should have no criminal record
• Should have completed three college-level courses, as approved by the California Department of Real Estate, and should have passed the licensing exam
When a license is needed to manage property
Reportedly, “An individual or corporation needs to hold a broker license if they perform or offer to perform any of the following services on behalf of another in exchange for a fee:
• listing real estate for rent or lease;
• marketing the property to locate prospective tenants;
• listing prospective tenants for the rental or lease of real estate;
• locating property to rent or lease;
• selling, buying or exchanging existing leasehold interests in real estate;
• managing income-producing properties; or
• collecting rents from tenants of real estate. [Bus & P C §10131(b)]
An individual employed by a broker to perform any of the above services needs to be licensed by the California Department of Real Estate (DRE), either as a broker or sales agent employed and supervised by a broker.
Some duties that do require a license and that may be performed by a property manager include collecting rents and managing the operations of income-producing properties. Therefore, a property manager who holds a DRE license is better positioned to fulfill the duties of both a regular manager as well as a leasing agent.”

Robert Krueger, ex-Texas congressman and diplomat, dies at 86
NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas (AP) — Robert C. Krueger, who followed two U.S. House terms with a brief interim appointment to the Senate before launching a sometimes-hazardous diplomatic career, has died at age 86, his family said Sunday.
Krueger died Saturday morning in his New Braunfels home with his wife by his side after suffering from congestive heart failure, daughter Sarah Krueger said.
Funeral arrangements were pending.
Most of Krueger’s career was as an academic at Duke University, the University of Texas at Austin, Rice University, Oxford University and Texas State University.
Even while pursuing that career, Krueger, a Democrat, ventured into politics in 1974 with his first election to the U.S. House. After two House terms, President Jimmy Carter appointed him as a U.S. ambassador at large and coordinator for Mexican affairs. He served in that capacity until the end of the Carter administration in 1981.
Krueger returned to elective politics when he won a seat on the Texas Railroad Commission in 1990. He served from January 1991 until Texas Gov. Ann Richards tapped him to complete Lloyd Bentsen’s unexpired U.S. Senate term in January 1993 when Bentsen left to become President Bill Clinton’s Treasury secretary. However, Krueger lost to Republican Kay Baily Hutchison in a June 1993 special election.
Krueger returned to diplomacy when Clinton named him U.S. ambassador to Burundi in 1994. The eastern African country was embroiled in civil strife at the time. Krueger had to be airlifted when his convoy was attacked by unidentified gunmen in June 1995, killing one convoy member and injuring several others, and was recalled from the post for his safety.
Krueger was U.S. ambassador to Botswana in 1996-99 and a special U.S. representative to the 14-nation Southern African Development Community in 1998-2000. He then returned to academia as a visiting fellow at Merton College, Oxford, and continued his academic pursuits until his 2017 retirement from a lectureship position at Texas Tech University.

TETERBORO, N.J. (AP) — Authorities say a small plane made an emergency landing at a New Jersey airport over the weekend after smoke was reported in the cockpit.
The Federal Aviation Administration says the Maryland-bound plane landed safely at about 11 a.m. Sunday at Teterboro Airport in Bergen County. No injuries were reported.
An FAA spokesperson said preliminary information indicated that the pilot of the single-engine Piper PA-32 “reported smoke in the cockpit.” There was no immediate information about whether there was anyone else on the aircraft.
Federal authorities said the plane had departed from Norwood Regional Airport in Norwood, Massachusetts, and was on its way to Montgomery County Airpark in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The FAA is investigating.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which owns and manages the airport, did not immediately respond to questions, NJ.com reported. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Small-plane-lands-in-NJ-after-smoke-reported-in-17140241.php | 2022-05-01T21:19:32Z | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Small-plane-lands-in-NJ-after-smoke-reported-in-17140241.php | false | null |

MIAMI (AP) — In Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra’s mind, the injury situation with Joel Embiid doesn’t doom the Philadelphia 76ers.
He figures it’ll only steel their resolve.
Clearly, the 76ers are not going to be a better team without Embiid, the scoring champion and MVP finalist currently sidelined by a right orbital fracture and mild concussion, injuries that have him officially ruled out for Game 1 and likely Game 2 as well. That said, the 76ers played the Heat once this season without Embiid — and won. They’ll try to do it again Monday night when Philadelphia visits Miami in Game 1 of an Eastern Conference semifinal series.
“Whenever you’re dealing with a team that has to change a little bit, that immediately gets them a built-in sense of urgency,” Spoelstra said. “But again, what we’re trying to accomplish, it is so difficult. When you approach it that way, that just puts you there to compete at a high level, the necessary level that is going to be required.”
The Heat aren’t exactly in perfect health, either. Jimmy Butler has been slowed by a sore knee, Tyler Herro caught a cold that turned into an upper-respiratory-type mess — but not COVID-19 — and PJ Tucker has been dealing with a calf issue. (All three expect to play Monday.) And Philadelphia native Kyle Lowry missed the last two games of the first-round series against Atlanta with a hamstring strain, so the Heat can’t be certain when their point guard will be 100% again. He’s been ruled out for Game 1.
“I think both rosters are going into this battle knowing that both sides got enough to get the job done,” Butler said. “We’ve got a job to do. They’ve got a job to do. But I’m banking on the Miami Heat.”
The 76ers don’t need any hyperbole along the way to realizing that they can have success against Miami. They need only to pop in the tape from March 21.
Embiid didn’t play that night. The 76ers didn’t have James Harden, either. Didn’t matter. Philadelphia outrebounded Miami 45-34, outscored the Heat 45-30 from 3-point range and pulled off a 113-106 win.
“Well, the biggest adjustment is we don’t have Joel,” 76ers coach Doc Rivers said, overstating the obvious for emphasis. “There’s no good thing to it. But we did have one game without Joel against them and honestly, we won the game but I thought it was more than they looked at we didn’t have Joel, I think James was out, so I think mentally that probably played a purpose in that game. That’s not going to happen now. They don’t care who we have on the floor.”
The 76ers went 6-8 without Embiid this season. Plus, with Harden, the 76ers still have a player who is four years removed from being an MVP and two years removed from being a back-to-back-to-back scoring champion.
“Truth be told, it’s just us figuring out what we can go to through the course of a game in the playoffs,” Philadelphia forward Tobias Harris said. “It’s always adapting and figure out how the other teams is playing, what they’re taking away, what they’re allowing, and for us to capitalize in that regard.”
INSIDE THE NUMBERS
Only six players (Tyrese Maxey, Isaiah Joe and Harris for the 76ers; Tucker, Duncan Robinson and Max Strus for the Heat) played in all four Philadelphia-Miami games this season. The 76ers’ defense was stellar, with Gabe Vincent (21.0 ppg in two games) the only Heat player to average more than 20. Team stats were incredibly close: Miami had slight edges in points (404-400) and assists (92-89), Philadelphia had the edge in rebounds (164-159). The 76ers shot 44.8%, Miami 44.6%.
TOP TWO
It’s a matchup of two of the all-time winningest playoff coaches. Rivers (102 wins) is fourth on the NBA postseason list behind Phil Jackson (229), Pat Riley (171) and Gregg Popovich (170). Spoelstra (89) is eighth behind the top four, then Larry Brown (100), Red Auerbach (99) and Jerry Sloan (98). Fun fact: if Miami wins Games 1 and 2 of this series then Spoelstra would pass Riley — the Heat president and his boss — in playoff winning percentage.
HEAD-TO-HEAD
This is the third Miami-Philadelphia playoff series. The other two were first-round matchups: Miami won in five games in 2011, Philadelphia won in five games in 2018. Each team has two players remaining on the roster from that series — Embiid and Furkan Korkmaz for the 76ers, Olympic gold medalist Bam Adebayo and Udonis Haslem for the Heat.
CONSISTENT HARDEN
Home, road, it doesn’t matter to Harden. His career splits are uncanny. For his career, he averages 24.9 points at home, 24.5 on the road. In home games, he’s shot 44% from the field, 36% from 3-point range and 86% from the foul line. And on the road, he has the same percentages. But he’s shot only 39% at Miami as a pro, his fourth-lowest road percentage behind Charlotte (37%), Boston (38%) and Indiana (38%).
FANDUEL SAYS
Embiid’s injury has sent Philadelphia down to the longest shot left in the playoffs, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. The 76ers are the biggest underdog in any of the four conference semifinal series. As the East and West Final Fours were beginning Sunday, Miami was the second favorite (narrowly behind Boston) in the East and had the fourth-best odds for the NBA title behind Phoenix, Golden State and the Celtics.

Mariners Rookie Julio Rodriguez Swats First Career Home Run
It wasn’t a foregone conclusion that Julio Rodriguez would make the Seattle Mariners Opening Day roster when Spring Training camps opened. But a 1.281 on-base plus slugging percentage, including three home runs, through 14 Cactus League games made it impossible not to include Rodriguez in the lineup.
After 20 mildly successful games, the Mariners’ franchise cornerstone centerfielder got off the schneid against the Miami Marlins on Sunday. Rodriguez knocked in his first career home run, sending a Sandy Alcantara sinker into orbit on a 450-foot shot.

— Seattle Mariners (@Mariners) May 1, 2022
J-Rod was slugging just .260 coming into Sunday afternoon’s contest, with just four of his 15 hits going for extra bases. Still, the 21-year-old has been trending positively, improving his batting average from .196 to .224 over the past six games.
The homer staked the M’s to a five-run lead, although the Marlins responded with one run of their own in the bottom half of the sixth inning.

Benedetta Rossi released an announcement that surprised fans. His words through the profile of the woman on Instagram
What would cooking be without lovers Benedita Rossi? At the moment, it’s really hard that you’ve never come across the very cute and adorable TV chef, who every day gives advice to those who constantly follow her with her thousands of fans. Her work on the small screen has been significant in recent years, to the point that over time she has become one of the most sought-after faces by viewers. The point lies precisely in the professionalism of Benedetta, who manages to put in front of the cameras even the simplicity that the audience is constantly looking for for clean entertainment without too many frills.
Here lies the cornerstone of the success of Rossi, who has succeeded in translating this peculiarity to other contexts as well. And so Benedetta has also written books, just to give an example, just to give herself a chance as well in the publishing world. Also in this case success was important, and his opinion is clearly increasing bad reputation around him.
Another important piece represented by social networks. Top Instagram Excellent Benedetta does a lot and really provides a lot of content that the audience can access through posts or stories. Hard work, sees Benedetta busy on a daily basis. However, this subtlety led her to become a woman with hundreds of thousands of followers.
Benedita Rossi, the ad has disgusted her fans
Rossi tells many things through Instagram. Not only the aspects related to his working life, but also the private aspect. We’ve learned about it over the years too Marco GentileBenedetta’s partner who often appears on women’s social networks. In the past few hours, for example, we’ve seen him tell from a woman’s profile what her experience has been in the past few days in the States for an NBA game.
However, in these hours, Benedetta had to make an announcement that also surprised her fans. “Guys don’t worry if the next few days You’ll see me a little less than that‘, Rossi’s words via Instagram Stories. ‘Or if You will see me confusedMy brain is smoking me,” the woman added with a smile on her lips.
“I’m trying to better organize everything I have to do in the coming months,” Rossi explained on Instagram. In short, a woman needs to take the time to use social media to focus on other aspects of her life.

I was Hugh Jackman’s stuntman in Wolverine – we have a crucial rule about violent scenes that you can never break
HUGH Jackman's longtime Wolverine stunt double said it's imperative never to make physical contact with the actor during fight scenes.
"But if the actor hits you, then you have to shrug it off and say, 'O, my fault,' even if it was completely their fault," Daniel Stevens told The Sun. "You got to downplay it and make the actor feel good."
He recalled a time when he was on set of the movie Kong: Skull Island, where he had to catch a sword that John C. Reilly threw and it cut his hand.
"He was meant to throw it sideways so I can catch it, but one day he threw it straight at me with the point at me and it stabbed me in the hand.
"And I was just like, 'Ohh sorry. My bad.' He asked me if that cut me and I just said, 'No, no. I'm completely fine as my hand is bleeding.'"
That's the extra pressure he had to shoulder during fight scenes with the legendary actor during the 2017 movie Logan, which was Jackson's swan song as Wolverine.
That was the fourth time Stevens doubled Jackman as the beloved X-Man comic book character.
"When we did Logan, which was the final instalment of Hugh as Wolverine, he ends up fighting himself as a clone in the movie," Stevens said.
"So I actually got to fight Hugh on camera, where normally he would do a take and then I would do a take. But we never worked together. So Logan was probably my favorite movie."
Several framed pictures of Wolverine movie posters - including one with a signed thank you note from Jackman - and a pair of the iconic claws hung on the wall behind Stevens while he talks.
The Wolverine movies were "the highlight of my career," said Stevens, who also doubled as Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars and performed stunts in major Marvel movies like Endgame, among other movies.
"Because I did it four times, I felt more connected to the character and helped Hugh develop the fight style of the character," he said.
Stevens said he parlayed his love for extreme sports into a successful, decades-long career as a Hollywood stuntman.

As Sunday draws to a close in Kyiv and in Moscow, here are the key developments of the day:
Congressional Democrats met Ukrainian leaders in the capital. The Democrats, led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., met with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other Ukrainian officials on Saturday for three hours to discuss American support for the war. Pelosi, the most senior American official to visit Ukraine since the war began in February, said the topics of discussion included "security, humanitarian assistance, economic assistance and eventually rebuilding when victory is won."
About 100 civilians were evacuated from a Mariupol steel plant. Of the thousands of civilians still trapped in the besieged port city, about a thousand are believed to be sheltering in bunkers beneath the plant. Previous attempts to evacuate the civilians have been thwarted by repeated Russian shelling.
Officials in Odesa imposed a curfew. Officials in the southern port city say the enforced curfew will extend from Sunday night through Tuesday morning after warning of possible sabotage in the city. In the past, pro-Russian activists have mobilized for protests and unrest in the city on May 2 each year. Russian ground forces are now fighting just a few hours away and Russian naval vessels are blockading Odesa's port.
Germany said it was making progress in cutting its use of Russian fossil fuels. European countries are under pressure to stop importing Russian gas, while Russia flexed its economic power by cutting off gas to Poland and Bulgaria.

GOP election-deniers elevate races for secretary of state
ATLANTA (AP) — Add one more group of contests to the white-hot races for Congress and governor that will dominate this year’s midterm elections: secretaries of state.
Former President Donald Trump’s attempts to reverse the results of the 2020 election and his subsequent endorsements of candidates for state election offices who are sympathetic to his view have elevated those races to top-tier status. At stake, say Democrats and others concerned about fair elections, is nothing less than American democracy.
“If they win the general election, we’ve got real problems on our hands,” said former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman, a Republican who has pushed back against the false claims made by Trump and his allies about widespread fraud in the 2020 presidential election. “This is an effort to replace the people who oversee these races — to change the rules to make the results come out the way they want them to.”
The primary season begins in force in the coming week with elections in Ohio and Indiana. Ohio voters will decide which candidate will emerge from the Republican primary for secretary of state, with the winner favored to eventually win the office in the GOP-dominated state.
Primaries for the top election offices will follow over the next few weeks in Nebraska, Idaho, Alabama and the presidential battleground of Georgia. While Indiana also holds a primary Tuesday, nominees for secretary of state and some other offices won’t be decided until party conventions in June.
In all, voters in about two dozen states will be deciding who will be their state’s next chief election official this year. In three politically important states —- Florida, Pennsylvania and Texas — the position will be filled by whoever wins the governor’s race. In New Hampshire, the decision will be made by the state Legislature — currently controlled by Republicans.
States United Action, a nonpartisan advocacy organization co-founded by Whitman, has been tracking secretary of state races and identified nearly two dozen Republican candidates who deny the results of the 2020 presidential election.
That includes John Adams, a former state lawmaker challenging Ohio’s incumbent secretary of state, Frank LaRose, in Tuesday’s GOP primary. Adams has said “there’s no way that Trump lost” and said LaRose wasn’t any different than Stacey Abrams, a Democrat and national voting rights advocate who is running for governor in Georgia.
LaRose hasn’t talked much about the 2020 election on the campaign trail, other than to say it was secure in Ohio and to tout his office’s pursuit of voter fraud cases. This marked a departure following the 2020 vote in which he praised the work of bipartisan election officials in running a smooth election, promoted voter access and presented statistics showing how rare voter fraud is.
Earlier this year, LaRose brushed aside questions about whether his rhetoric had shifted.
“Unfortunately, some people want to make a political issue out of this,” he said. “Of course, it’s right to be concerned about election integrity.”
The pivot was enough to earn him an endorsement from Trump, who is considering another run for president in 2024 and said LaRose was “dedicated to Secure Elections.” LaRose has been touting the endorsement.
Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a Democrat, said it was important for Republican secretaries of state, in particular, to speak the truth about the 2020 election.
“Those secretaries who are accepting the support of election-deniers or accepting the support of a former president who openly interfered with the results of a free and fair election are abdicating their role and responsibility to stand as nonpartisan guardians and choosing to put their own partisan agendas ahead of democracy,” Benson said in an interview.
This year, the most high-profile races will unfold in four of the six states where Trump disputed his 2020 loss to President Joe Biden: Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and Michigan. Trump has endorsed secretary of state candidates in all but one, backing those who support his false claims.
There is no proof of widespread fraud or wrongdoing. Judges, including ones appointed by Trump, dismissed dozens of lawsuits filed by the former president and his allies after the 2020 election.
Last year, an Associated Press review of every potential 2020 voter fraud case in the six states disputed by Trump found nowhere near enough cases to change the outcome.
Kristina Karamo, Trump’s pick in Michigan, is the first to advance to the November election after state Republicans nominated her at the party’s April 23 convention. A community college professor, Karamo gained prominence after the 2020 election claiming she had seen irregularities in the processing of mail ballots while serving as an election observer in Detroit.
At a rally with Trump before the convention, she accused the media of trying to demonize her, adding “corruption in our elections systems is a national security threat.” She will face Benson, a former law school dean seeking her second term.
“All one has to imagine is what it would be like or what it would have been like if Brad Raffensperger had said, ‘Yes, I will find you those votes and deliver Georgia for you,’” Benson said. “That’s what could happen if you have an election denier serving as secretary of state.”
Raffensperger is the Republican secretary of state in Georgia who withstood enormous pressure to uphold the results of the presidential race there, won by Biden. At one point after the election, Trump called Raffensperger and asked him to “find” nearly 12,000 votes to overturn Biden’s win.
Of the 25 secretary of state races on the ballot this year, nine Republican and seven Democratic incumbents are running to keep their seats. While only one of the Democratic incumbents has drawn a challenger, seven Republican secretaries will be facing at least one GOP opponent who either denies Biden won or makes unsubstantiated claims that elections are not secure.
This includes Raffensperger, who rebuffed Trump’s demands and has drawn three primary challengers. Among them is one endorsed by Trump, U.S. Rep. Jody Hice, who objected to Georgia’s electoral votes being counted for Biden.
In nine states, incumbents have opted against seeking reelection, are running for higher office or are term-limited, leaving open contests. This includes Arizona and Nevada, which hold primaries in the coming months.
Both races feature Republican candidates -- Arizona’s Mark Finchem and Nevada’s Jim Marchant -- who have questioned the outcome of the 2020 election.
Another high-profile race is unfolding in Colorado, where a Republican county clerk under indictment for a security breach of voting systems is running to challenge Secretary of State Jena Griswold, a Democrat seeking a second term.
Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters has denied the charges, calling them politically motivated. She has been a frequent guest on conservative media and appeared at various events with Mike Lindell, the MyPillow CEO and Trump ally who has sought to prove voting machines were somehow manipulated in 2020.
In an interview earlier this year, Peters said she was committed to finding the truth of what happened in 2020 and hoped “the powers that be — instead of taking time to attack me — would solve violent crime, would look into election irregularities and find the truth.”
Colorado Republicans will be deciding who their nominee will be in late June.
“Americans are going to have a very simple choice — do we want people overseeing elections who believe in upholding the will of the voter regardless of how they voted?” said Griswold. “Or do we want extremist politicians who will do anything it takes to tilt elections in their favor and claim victory regardless of how the American people cast their ballot?”

Fake Message Supposedly from Trump Aimed at Tricking MAGA Voters to Stay Home
With the crucial midterm elections drawing closer, dirty tricks are ramping up as liberals try to avert what is widely forecast to be a Republican surge at the polls.
As reported by CheckYourFact, a new scam was aimed at keeping supporters of former President Donald Trump from voting.
According to CheckYourFact, the statement “appeared to originate” from the Twitter account “@HalfwayPost,”which describes itself as “dada journalism, satire & liberal comedy.”
The post sought to copy Trump’s language while also trying to minimize turnout.
“If the tough and freedom-loving candidates I’ve endorsed for Congress lose their primaries this summer, I invite all the Great MAGA Patriots to BOYCOTT the midterm elections in November,” the phony statement read.
CheckYourFact noted that the comment and an image with it were “digitally fabricated. There is no record of Trump making such a statement.”
One Twitter user who spread it was Mike Madrid, co-founder of the scandal-plagued, anti-Trump the Lincoln Project.
He was shot down quickly by Trump spokeswoman Liz Harrington, who branded the post “disinformation.”
Oh look, they’re spreading disinformation again https://t.co/YYtNKGQbD8
— Liz Harrington (@realLizUSA) April 29, 2022
Trump has, in fact, been bullish on the fall elections, with more than 100 endorsements.
This month’s primary contests in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina will be a sign of whether Trump’s endorsement can help his supporters win against high-profile candidates who have lots of money behind them, according to Reuters.
Mike DuHaime, a Republican strategist, told Reuters that it’s important to Trump “to maintain that perception, and perhaps a reality, that he is a king-maker in the Republican Party.”
JUST IN: President Trump issues another official statement/endorsement on our race in Arizona.
Thank you, Mr. President. I am honored to have your endorsement & your continued support as we work to Make America Great Again! #MAGA pic.twitter.com/SSdxPO9wJ5
— Kari Lake for AZ Governor (@KariLake) April 25, 2022
DuHaime noted no one wins every time out.
“The Trump endorsement is still powerful, but it’s not undefeatable,” he said.
But Trump wields influence with millions of voters, said another commentator.
Thank you Pres. Trump! What an amazing night at Mar a Lago. I am honored to have Pres. Trump’s endorsement & support as the only America First conservative in IL15. I will keep fighting to defend the 2A, secure our border, and stand up for our children’s future! #MAGA #IL15 pic.twitter.com/D3FD1bfiov
— Mary Miller (@Miller_Congress) April 28, 2022
“His power base is tens of millions of disaffected voters around the country,” Justin Sayfie of Ballard Partners, a Florida-based lobbying firm, told Reuters.
“No matter what happens to his endorsed candidates, I don’t think it will change the conventional wisdom that he would still be the frontrunner for the GOP nomination for 2024.”

RED BAY, Ala. (AP) — An Alabama sheriff says a public health worker was killed by dogs after she went to a home to follow up on a report about dogs attacking and injuring another person days earlier.
Franklin County Sheriff Shannon Oliver said the dogs' owner, Brandy Dowdy, 39, has been charged with manslaughter and with violating Alabama's dangerous dog law, WTVA-TV reported. Jail records on Sunday did not show whether she is represented by an attorney.
Oliver said deputies on Friday saw several dogs attacking people south of Red Bay, and that led to one person suffering minor injuries and to some dogs being euthanized.
Deputies were in the area to investigate an unknown vehicle and they found the body of Jacqueline Beard, an Alabama Department of Public Health employee. Oliver said Beard was there because of a dog attack earlier in the week that sent someone to a hospital in Jackson, Mississippi, with injuries.
The sheriff said investigators believe the dogs attacked Beard as she tried contacting their owner. Red Bay is in northern Alabama, on the Mississippi state line. | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Alabama-woman-charged-after-dogs-kill-public-17140309.php | 2022-05-01T21:53:21Z | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Alabama-woman-charged-after-dogs-kill-public-17140309.php | false | 13 |
Tennessee passes 'dark money' spending disclosure
Tennessee lawmakers — in the closing hours of their legislative session — approved a bill that tackles an issue raised by NewsChannel 5's ongoing Revealed investigation, the issue of so-called "dark money" used to finance attacks against political candidates.
Our investigation revealed how political non-profits secretly fund political messages during political campaigns without being forced to disclose their expenditures.
The Senate and House agreed to a compromise bill Thursday that will require such groups to disclose their expenditures if they spend more than $5,000 in the 60 days before an election.
During the final debate, the Senate sponsor, Sen. Ferrell Haile, R-Gallatin, noted the intense opposition that the bill had faced from several nonprofit groups.
"The comment they make is they are responsible for keeping us, the General Assembly, accountable," Haile said.
"I agree. That's fine. Our responsibility is keeping them accountable."
Under the legislation, those political nonprofits would still not be required to disclose their donors.
Other provisions include:
- More disclosure would be required for campaign contributions and expenditures in the last 10 days before an election.
- Candidates and political campaign committees would be forced to keep campaign money separate from non-campaign funds and keep more records in case of an audit.
- Identification would be required for officers of political action committees to avoid the creation of fake groups that cannot be traced.
- Knowingly failing to file a campaign report or providing false or misleading information would be a Class A misdemeanor.
- Members of the governor's cabinet would be included among those officials who are not allowed to receive consulting fees while in office.
- Annual financial reports by candidates and officials must be signed under penalty of perjury.
- Candidates would be prohibited from using forms that have pre-checked boxes authorizing recurring contributions.
- The Tennessee Registry of Election Finance would be required to hold a public meeting to accept settlements of penalties of more than $25,000.
The final bill did not include a provision pushed by House Speaker Cameron Sexton to expand the Tennessee Registry of Election Finance to include two representatives of good-government groups who were not political appointees.

Kerr's WSL record bid ends in Chelsea win
Only the crossbar has prevented Sam Kerr from improving her remarkable goalscoring sequence in the Women's Super League.
But despite missing out on the chance of hitting the target for an eighth league match in a row, the Matildas captain was still all smiles on Sunday after her Chelsea side eked out a critical 1-0 win at Birmingham.
Kerr had been in line to match the record of nine consecutive scoring matches, set by her Chelsea teammate Beth England, if she'd netted in the last two games of the season.
But though she earned a rare blank after crashing an early shot against the woodwork, Chelsea's nervy but hard-earned victory was the only thing that mattered to Kerr as they moved four points clear and on the verge of successfully defending their title.
The champions have just one match left, a tough one at home to third-placed Manchester United next Sunday, and will make it three titles in a row should they emerge victorious.
But any slip up would still let in Chelsea's London rivals Arsenal, who, with Kerr's Matilda colleagues Caitlin Foord, Steph Catley and Lydia Williams in their ranks, could then still take the title with two more wins.
Before Chelsea's match, Arsenal had beaten Aston Villa 7-0, featuring a couple of goals from Kerr's Dutch Golden Boot rival Vivianne Miedema, to put the pressure on the Blues.
It looked as if it would be no problem for Chelsea as they started brightly and Kerr swivelled brilliantly to strike a fierce left-footed shot against the bar.
But they got bogged down as it began to teem with rain, looked short on ideas and created painfully few opportunities.
Kerr had scored nine times in her previous seven WSL games but, uncharacteristically, rushed her best chance in 65th minute and looked irritated to screw her shot wide.
Six minutes later, though, the visitors got lucky when awarded a penalty after Birmingham defender Lisa Robertson handled a cross with her back to goal, allowing Dane Pernille Harder to convert coolly from the spot.
Even then, Birmingham came close to an equaliser in the dying minutes, with goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger thwarting Emily Whelan.
Kerr came off five minutes from time, offering a smile as she accepted that her chance of the record was gone.
But her team can claim the title on Wednesday if Arsenal lose to local rivals Tottenham.
Still, the likelihood is for the title race to go down to the final Sunday with the Gunners at West Ham. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-10773219/Kerrs-WSL-record-bid-ends-Chelsea-win.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-05-01T22:00:16Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-10773219/Kerrs-WSL-record-bid-ends-Chelsea-win.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false | 5 |
Marshall had the state's lone 2022 NFL Draft signee in seventh-round selection Nazeeh Johnson, but several other Thundering Herd and WVU players are getting the shot at realizing their NFL dreams after solidifying undrafted free-agent deals.
Shortly after the NFL Draft wrapped up on Saturday, several players announced their future locations.
Marshall's Alex Mollette signed a UDFA deal with the Indianapolis Colts, which puts him near girlfriend Grayson Radcliffe, who plays for former Marshall softball coach Shonda Stanton at Indiana.
Mollette was a fixture at guard and center during his tenure with the Herd, playing in 52 games in his Marshall career, which included starting the final 35 of them.
WVU running back Leddie Brown signed a UDFA contract with the Los Angeles Chargers after rushing for 1,000 yards in each of the last two seasons.
Brown ranks sixth all-time in career rushing yards at WVU with 3,492 and had 32 rushing touchdowns.
Safety Sean Mahone was the only other Mountaineer to ink a UDFA deal as he signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars. For his career, Mahone made 225 tackles to go with four interceptions and 12 pass breakups.
In addition to the UDFA deals, several also accepted rookie mini-camp invitations on Saturday.
Marshall offensive lineman Will Ulmer picked up a rookie mini-camp invite from the Green Bay Packers while safety Cory McCoy picked up a mini-camp invite from the Baltimore Ravens.
WVU safety Alonzo Addae also picked up a rookie mini-camp invite from the Arizona Cardinals. | https://www.wvgazettemail.com/sports/marshall_university/college-football-wvu-marshall-players-get-free-agent-deals/article_b26d30f3-4d61-5f81-ab24-65ec4754f7ab.html | 2022-05-01T22:13:30Z | https://www.wvgazettemail.com/sports/marshall_university/college-football-wvu-marshall-players-get-free-agent-deals/article_b26d30f3-4d61-5f81-ab24-65ec4754f7ab.html | false | 1 |

EPL: The pressure is there, let’s go – Arteta sends message to Tottenham after Arsenal’s latest victory
Arsenal boss, Mikel Arteta, has sent a clear message to Tottenham Hotspur following their Premier League 2-1 win over West Ham on Sunday.
Arsenal defeated West Ham at the London Stadium, thanks to two goals from Rob Holding and Gabriel, while Tottenham won 3-1 against Leicester City.
Asked whether the race for the top four between Arsenal and Tottenham could go all the way till the end of the season, Arteta said the pressure is there for both teams.
“Let’s see. Another seven days to prepare for the match,” Arteta told BBC Sport.
“The pressure is there and we both won, so let’s go.”
Arteta’s side will clash with Tottenham on May 12 after their next game against Leeds United on May 8.
Arsenal are currently in the fourth position on the log with two points ahead of Tottenham (5th position) after 34 matches. | https://dailypost.ng/2022/05/01/epl-the-pressure-is-there-lets-go-arteta-sends-message-to-tottenham-after-arsenals-latest-victory/ | 2022-05-01T22:19:00Z | https://dailypost.ng/2022/05/01/epl-the-pressure-is-there-lets-go-arteta-sends-message-to-tottenham-after-arsenals-latest-victory/ | false | 1 |

The 2022 NFL Draft was full of surprises, as Georgia defenders dominated the first round, all of the quarterbacks fell further than anticipated and we also saw plenty of interesting selections. Who knew a flock of kickers/punters would be taken in the fourth round?
There are 262 total picks to break down from the weekend, but let's try to identify the best, worst and most interesting picks for all 32 NFL teams. The best and worst picks will be decided by the best and worst grades assigned to those selections by our CBS Sports NFL Draft experts Pete Prisco and Chris Trapasso. (For the CBS Sports draft tracker, click here.)
The best player in a class may not be the "best pick," due to value at the selection number. Not every team made a "bad" pick per se, and some of the picks that are declared the "worst" for a class have grades as high as a "B." If there are multiple picks with the same grade, I stepped in and determined the verdict. I also decided which pick was the most interesting for each team. Without further ado, let's jump in.
AFC East
Buffalo Bills
Best pick (A): WR Khalil Shakir, Boise State (R5, P148)
Multiple-year big-time producer in college. Not a special athlete but is surprisingly stellar after the catch. Vision, cutting, contact balance. Showed awesome ability to contort his body near the sideline to make difficult grabs. Limited speed. More weapons for Josh Allen. (Chris Trapasso)
Worst pick (C+): OL Luke Tenuta, Virginia Tech (R6, P209)
Tall, but very short-armed tackle who may have to move inside in NFL. Hand work and anchor are solid but not true trump cards. Below-average athleticism getting to second level. Doesn't bend at the waist but also doesn't have high-end foot quickness to deal with fast outside rushers. (Chris Trapasso)
Most interesting pick (B+): RB James Cook, Georgia (R2, P63)
The brother of Dalvin Cook isn't the exact same prospect Dalvin was, but the Bulldog showed some good things in his senior season, rushing for 728 yards and seven touchdowns in 15 games played. Could he end up becoming the true No. 1 running back the Bills have been waiting for?
Miami Dolphins
Best pick (A-): LB Cameron Goode, California (R7, P224)
Explosive old-school 3-4 OLB type. Drops into coverage effortlessly and has a serious outside speed rush with good bend around the corner. Some pass-rush moves. High-upside type. Length and power are lacking. (Chris Trapasso)
Worst pick (B-): LB Channing Tindall, Georgia (R3, P102)
Speed, speed, and more speed. A blur on the field. But very unpolished as a LB and not a coverage type yet. (Chris Trapasso)
Most interesting pick (B): WR Erik Ezukanma, Texas Tech (R4, P125)
The Dolphins only picked four players in the 2022 NFL Draft, and this selection was interesting. Miami used a first-round pick on Jaylen Waddle last year, traded a bevy of picks away for Tyreek Hill this offseason and then took a receiver with their second pick in the draft. This is a crowded wide receiver room now. Will Ezukanma find a way to stand out?
New England Patriots
Best pick (A-): WR Tyquan Thornton, Baylor (R2, P50)
Major sleeper at WR. Not just 4.28 fast. Runs crisp, well-sold routes. Very natural hands catcher. Snatches the ball away from his frame effortlessly. This is precisely what the Patriots needed offensively. Spindly though. Not costly to move up. (Chris Trapasso)
Worst pick (C-): DL Sam Roberts, Northwest Missouri State (R6, P200)
Explosive super productive player at the small-school level. Hybrid type who can play on the edge or inside. Just will take him a while to acclimate to size/athleticism difference at OL in the NFL. (Chris Trapasso)
Most interesting pick (B+): QB Bailey Zappe, Western Kentucky (R4, P137)
Zappe is arguably the most intriguing quarterback in this class. In 14 games last year, he passed for 5,967 yards, 62 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. Per Western Kentucky's official website, Zappe set new single-season FBS records with those numbers, passing Texas Tech's B.J. Symons, who had 5,833 passing yards in 2003, and LSU's Joe Burrow, who had 60 passing touchdowns in 2019. I didn't expect him to go this early, but the Patriots must like him.
New York Jets
Best pick (A): EDGE Jermaine Johnson II, Florida State (R1, P26)
This is great value this late in the draft. He fell down the board a lot further than most people thought. He fits with what Robert Saleh wants in his edge rushers. He's a late bloomer, but he will continue to get better. (Pete Prisco)
Worst pick (B): RB Breece Hall, Iowa State (R2, P36)
Minimal move to get a complete, three-down back. Hall doesn't play to his combine workout but checks all the boxes of a nuanced runner. Awesome ball skills/receiving ability too. Maybe a tick early for a RB? Hall and Michael Carter now a fun, complementary duo. (Chris Trapasso)
Most interesting pick (A-): TE Jeremy Ruckert, Ohio State (R3, P101)
I'm fascinated by this tight end class in general, because I think there are several players who could become stars depending on how they are used by their new teams. Ruckert is considered by some to be TE1 in this class, and he could be important for Zach Wilson's development.
AFC North
Baltimore Ravens
Best pick (A+): CB Jalyn Armour-Davis, Alabama (R4, P119)
The Ravens are on fire. Armour-Davis is a former big recruit who was buried on the depth chart but was phenomenal in his one year as the starter. Athletic fluidity and ball skills pop on film. Speed too. Man-coverage specialist who can excel in zone. (Chris Trapasso)
Worst pick (C-): P Jordan Stout, Penn State (R4, P130)
The first questionable pick by the Ravens this year. One of the best punters in this class and can be Justin Tucker insurance. (Chris Trapasso)
Most interesting pick (B+): TE Isaiah Likely, Coastal Carolina (R4, P139)
Likely was the second tight end Baltimore drafted in the fourth round, but he's a versatile pass-catcher who will likely line up in several different spots.
Cincinnati Bengals
Best pick (B+): CB Cam Taylor-Britt, Nebraska (R2, P60)
Sleeper at the CB spot. Bouncy, explosive, speedy. Recovery skill is outstanding. Seemingly always finds the football. Occasionally labored getting out of his backpedal. Bengals don't have many needs, probably didn't need to double up on secondary, but Taylor-Britt is a damn good player. (Chris Trapasso)
Worst pick (C+): DL Zachary Carter, Florida (R3, P95)
Big-body heavy handy rusher with moments of impressive burst/bend. Not a refined pass rusher. Inside-out flexibility. If he plays inside mostly in Cincinnati, I like this pick more. (Chris Trapasso)
Most interesting pick (B-): S Daxton Hill, Michigan (R1, P31)
Hill is a versatile asset in coverage, so I'm curious to see where he spends the majority of his time on the field. A good player could turn into a great one depending on how he's used.
Cleveland Browns
Best pick (A): DL Isaiah Thomas, Oklahoma (R7, P223)
NFL-sized edge rusher with heavy hands and an energetic style around the corner. Awesome swim move. Decent explosiveness. Ready to contribute from Day 1. More EDGE help for Cleveland. (Chris Trapasso)
Worst pick (D+): K Cade York, LSU (R4, P124)
Probably the premier kicker in this class, but not a giant need for the Browns and this is early to pick a specialist. (Chris Trapasso)
Most interesting pick (A): OL Dawson Deaton, Texas Tech (R7, P246)
Trapasso is just as high on this player as anyone the Browns drafted this weekend. He likes him as a blocker, and thinks he's incredibly undervalued, calling him an "awesome selection."
Pittsburgh Steelers
Best pick (A): WR Calvin Austin III, Memphis (R4, P138)
Track star in a football uniform. Plays like he was shot out of a cannon and change-of-direction skill is good. Super-tiny frame which hurts him against press and was schemed open often in college. Fun addition to the Steelers' offense. (Chris Trapasso)
Worst pick (C-): LB Mark Robinson, Ole Miss (R7, P225)
Instinctive between-the-tackle run stuffer with short compact stature. Speed and overall range is limited but he reads his keys in a hurry. Hustle could help him outplay his draft position. (Chris Trapasso)
Most interesting pick (A): QB Kenny Pickett, Pittsburgh (R1, P20)
I mean, obviously the first quarterback the Steelers selected is the most interesting pick -- and for multiple reasons. Is he truly the best quarterback in this class? Will playing at the familiar Heinz Field help? When will he start?
AFC South
Houston Texans
Best pick (A): S Jalen Pitre, Baylor (R2, P37)
Was given free rein in college and was a supreme playmaker. Incredibly sudden. Great blitzer. A tick on the smaller size. More slot CB than pure safety. Not incredibly fast. If given freelance authority, he can be a star (Chris Trapasso)
Worst pick (C-): WR John Metchie III, Alabama (R2, P44)
Vertical specialist. Ran a variety of intricate downfield routes at Alabama. Tracks it over his shoulder awesomely. Not overly fast deep. Minimal YAC. Smaller frame. Trading up for a specialist is a little strange. (Chris Trapasso)
Most interesting pick (B): CB Derek Stingley Jr., LSU (R1, P3)
Stingley may be one of the best players in the draft, and he rocketed up mock drafts late. Back during that 2019 LSU undefeated national championship season, he recorded 38 total tackles, 15 passes defended and six interceptions as a freshman. That would be his best season, however, as Stingley played in just 10 games over the next two seasons due to injuries. What kind of player will he be at the next level?
Indianapolis Colts
Best pick (A): TE Jelani Woods, Virginia (R3, P73)
A more explosive, sharp route-running Mo-Alie Cox. Large human with great suddenness in his routes. Laboring burst off the ball. Has blocking chops too. Awesome selection. (Chris Trapasso)
Worst pick (C-): TE Andrew Ogletree, Youngstown State (R6, P192)
100% upside selection who, in time, could become a quality pass-catching TE but is incredibly raw and doesn't provide anything as a blocker. (Chris Trapasso)
Most interesting pick (A-): S Nick Cross, Maryland (R3, P96)
Cross plays so fast and so hard. He's a solid open-field tackler with great closing speed, whether that's blowing up a halfback swing or slipping underneath an overthrown pass on one side of the field.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Best pick (A-): CB Montaric Brown, Arkansas (R7, P222)
Heady zone-coverage specialist with stellar instincts, good tackling ability and high-level ball skills. Feet and eyes are tied together. Low controlled backpedal. Wins with his football IQ and length. Value City. (Chris Trapasso)
Worst pick (C): CB Gregory Junior, Ouachita Baptist (R6, P197)
Has NFL-caliber quicks and speed. But not someone who's going to stay in-phase with NFL receivers right away at next level. Slender frame. (Chris Trapasso)
Most interesting pick (B+): RB Snoop Conner, Ole Miss (R5, P154)
The Jaguars have James Robinson, Travis Etienne and now Snoop Conner. I'm interested to see what role he will play in this offense, because Doug Pederson clearly saw something in him.
Tennessee Titans
Best pick (A): CB Roger McCreary, Auburn (R2, P35)
First-round talent who only lasted to Round 2 because of short arms. Three years of stellar SEC film. Burst, sudden change-of-direction ability. Recovery speed is there. Feisty at the line. Damn good football player. Fits Tennessee's man-coverage scheme. (Chris Trapasso)
Worst pick (C): S Theo Jackson, Tennessee (R6, P204)
Experienced, explosive safety who struggles when changing directions but lays the lumber against the run and swing passes to the outside. Good length. Wasn't viewed as someone on the draft radar. (Chris Trapasso)
Most interesting pick (B+): WR Kyle Phillips, UCLA (R5, P163)
People are interested in the return-man aspect of this pick, but I want to see if Phillips can carve out a little slot role for himself. That could come down to just how good of a route runner he is, but he has potential.
AFC West
Denver Broncos
Best pick (A): CB Damarri Mathis, Pittsburgh (R4, P115)
Supreme talent at CB. Rockets attached to his cleats, and he plays with an angry demeanor. Not super twitchy but elite recovery speed and his ball skills are quality. Tends to get overly grabby downfield. If that's coached out of him, this is a major steal. (Chris Trapasso)
Worst pick (D+): CB Faion Hicks, Wisconsin (R7, P232)
Raw coverage DB with elite-level testing figures that do pop on film on occasion by way of changing directions. (Chris Trapasso)
Most interesting pick (B-): TE Greg Dulcich, UCLA (R3, P80)
Dulcich is one of the best tight ends in this class, and he's a weapon that can make plays down the middle of the field for Russell Wilson. I'm interested to see the snap counts between Dulcich and Albert O.
Kansas City Chiefs
Best pick (A+): WR Skyy Moore, Western Michigan (R2, P54)
Absolute stud. Does everything well. Only knock is he's a touch under 5-10. Destroys press coverage. Lightning-quick routes. Bounces off tacklers after the catch. Huge catch radius. Will be an instant star with Patrick Mahomes. (Chris Trapasso)
Worst pick (C+): LB Leo Chenal, Wisconsin (R3, P103)
Oversized, throwback type who tested through the roof but doesn't play to that level of athleticism on the field. Awesome as a blitzer and quality run defender. Little-to-no experience or refined skill in coverage, which is a concern, and Chiefs already have young LBs on the roster. (Chris Trapasso)
Most interesting pick (B+): CB Joshua Williams, Fayetteville State (R4, P135)
A Fayetteville State draft pick! Williams appears to have the frame and the athleticism to hold onto a roster spot for years to come. Obviously this transition to the next level will be a learning process, but he has talent.
Las Vegas Raiders
Best pick (A): DL Matthew Butler, Tennessee (R5, P175)
Hair-on-fire DL who can win up and down the line. Long, heavy hands, although not a pass-rush plan master. First-step quickness is well above average. Effective on stunts too because of how he plays at 100 mph on every snap. (Chris Trapasso)
Worst pick (D): RB Brittain Brown, UCLA (R7, P250)
Not someone who was on the draft radar, although he finished his career strong at UCLA after starting at Duke. Runs high without much contact balance and has good not great quickness/speed. (Chris Trapasso)
Most interesting pick (B+): RB Zamir White, Georgia (R4, P122)
The Raiders declined Josh Jacobs' fifth-year option last week, and then drafted a running back with their second pick. It's going to be interesting to see what his role will be early on.
Los Angeles Chargers
Best pick (A): RB Isaiah Spiller, Texas A&M (R4, P123)
Arguably the most talented all-around RB in the class. Disappointing pre-draft process sunk his stock. Does everything well and has a feature-back frame. Natural receiver who can contort his body to find the football downfield. Only thing missing is breakaway speed. Fun addition. (Chris Trapasso)
Worst pick (C-): CB Deane Leonard, Ole Miss (R7, P236)
Speedy outside CB with good hips and feet. Mirroring ability is lacking. Not a quick reactor and had minimal ball productivity in college. (Chris Trapasso)
Most interesting pick (A-): OL Jamaree Salyer, Georgia (R6, P195)
Salyer is a national champion starting lineman who was Second Team All-SEC. He's also played multiple positions on the offensive line, and I think he's a steal in the sixth round.
NFC East
Dallas Cowboys
Best pick (A): OL Tyler Smith, Tulsa (R1, P24)
This is one of my favorite picks in this draft. This kid is a mauler who will help them at right tackle right away. He needs a little help in pass protection, but the Cowboys will coach him up. Teams loved him more than analysts and his tape showed you why. This is a really good pick. (Pete Prisco)
Worst pick (C): DL John Ridgeway, Arkansas (R5, P178)
Big, long classic two-gapper. Grown-man strength. Very limited burst and closing speed but will control blockers. Quality run defender. (Chris Trapasso)
Most interesting pick (B-): LB Damone Clark, LSU (R5, P176)
Clark fell down draft boards because of injury, but he could be a starter for the Cowboys for years to come. The First Team All-SEC player could be one of the steals of this draft.
New York Giants
Best pick (A): OL Evan Neal, Alabama, (R1, P7)
The Giants land the best tackle in the draft. He will step in at right tackle and give them a nice pair of bookends with Andrew Thomas. They have to protect the quarterback better, and they will. He will be a long-time starter who goes to a lot of Pro Bowls. (Pete Prisco)
Worst pick (C): DL D.J. Davidson, Arizona State (R5, P147)
Wide run-stuffer who really works hard on run downs. Not a big-time athlete and minimal pass-rush capabilities right now. Good depth on the inside for NYG but barely any upside. (Chris Trapasso)
Most interesting pick (B-): WR Wan'Dale Robinson, Kentucky (R2, P43)
Robinson is a fast, super exciting player who could end up being a very fun weapon in Brian Daboll's offense. However, I was excited for Lynn Bowden too, and he hasn't done much in the NFL just yet. Robinson does have more experience as a receiver, though, and Daboll clearly targeted him for a reason.
Philadelphia Eagles
Best pick (A): LB Nakobe Dean, Georgia (R3, P83)
Finally! Dean is a rockstar on the field. Does everything you want out of a modern-day LB. Instincts. Speed. Twitch. Coverage brilliance. Injuries caused him to fall. Awesome value if he can stay healthy. (Chris Trapasso)
Worst pick (C+): LB Kyron Johnson, Kansas (R6, P181)
High-caliber speed-to-power conversion in a tiny frame for the EDGE position. Has major athleticism. Just gets overpowered frequently because of his size. Could move to off-ball LB and assume pass-rush roles in NFL. Hard-nosed player. (Chris Trapasso)
Most interesting pick (B): DL Jordan Davis, Georgia (R1, P13)
Interior defensive linemen usually don't go very high, but Davis is a freak of nature who could clog up running lanes for years to come. I would love to see him have the kind of impact Albert Haynesworth did back in the day for the Titans.
Washington Commanders
Best pick (A): QB Sam Howell, UNC, (R5, P144)
Game needs fine-tuning -- pocket presence, deep ball accuracy -- but he's young with a strong arm and lots of toughness. Will not be able to run like he did in college but this is quality value and Carson Wentz insurance. (Chris Trapasso)
Worst pick (C): CB Christian Holmes, Oklahoma State (R7, P240)
Well-sized outside CB, aggressive player, really likes to crowd routes. Will get some flags thrown on him. Change-of-direction can be labored. (Chris Trapasso)
Most interesting pick (C+): RB Brian Robinson Jr., Alabama (R3, P98)
Trapasso says he's one of the more underrated running backs in this class, and I'm interested to see what his role will be in the offense. Antonio Gibson was benched multiple times last year due to fumbles. If that happens again, Robinson Jr. could be his replacement and get some opportunities.
NFC North
Chicago Bears
Best pick (A): OL Braxton Jones, Southern Utah (R5, P168)
Major sleeper OT. Has legitimate Pro Bowl OT traits. Mean streak as a blocker pops on film too. Feet are outstanding. Does need to get a touch stronger. Dominated at small-school level. Love this with Justin Fields in mind. (Chris Trapasso)
Worst pick (C-): P Trenton Gill, N.C. State (R7, P255)
A bit surprising he was selected because of inconsistency in 2021 but booms it with good hang time. (Chris Trapasso)
Most interesting pick (B+): WR Velus Jones Jr., Tennessee (R3, P71)
Jones is viewed as a kick-return specialist, but he played a role in an explosive offense for the Vols last season with 807 receiving yards and seven touchdowns. He's going to have an opportunity to make an impact on offense for Fields.
Detroit Lions
Best pick (A): S Kerby Joseph, Illinois (R3, P97)
One of the longest, rangiest-in-coverage safeties in this class. Hip-fluidity pops on film. Can really run. He'll be a playmaker in Detroit but has to trust his eyes and play with better reactionary skill. (Chris Trapasso)
Worst pick (C): LB James Houston, Jackson State (R6, P217)
All-hustle outside speed rusher with size/length limitations. Bend is there too. Was very productive at the FCS level. Development type worth a roll of the dice this late in the draft. (Chris Trapasso)
Most interesting pick (C+): TE James Mitchell, Virginia Tech (R5, P177)
Mitchell had fairly impressive 2019 and 2020 campaigns in Blacksburg, but injuries have derailed his career as of late. He could be a surprise sleeper. He recorded 435 receiving yards and four touchdowns in nine games played in 2020.
Green Bay Packers
Best pick (A): LB Quay Walker, Georgia (R1, P22)
This is a heck of a pick. He is a playmaking, speed linebacker who will give their defenses a nice complement to De'Vondre Campbell. I know they could have gone receiver here, but they can wait. Walker will be big time. (Pete Prisco)
Worst pick (C-): S Tariq Carpenter, Georgia Tech (R7, P228)
Big-time tester who's much more of a linebacker than a safety. For as explosive as it is in a thick frame, his change-of-direction skill leaves a lot to be desired, and he misses a lot of tackles. (Chris Trapasso)
Most interesting pick (C+): WR Christian Watson, North Dakota State (R2, P34)
Watson was a player many teams were intrigued by, but as Trapasso explained in his pick grade, he will need to be utilized correctly. Green Bay had to trade up for him, but Watson could be a legitimate starter immediately for Aaron Rodgers.
Minnesota Vikings
Best pick (A): LB Brian Asamoah, Oklahoma (R3, P66)
Rangy, high-energy second-level defender who doesn't have much coverage experience but possesses the speed and change-of-direction ability to eventually become a quality player in that regard down the road. Speed pops on film too. Nasty taking on blocks. (Chris Trapasso)
Worst pick (C-): OL Ed Ingram, LSU (R2, P59)
Masher type on the inside. Moments of punishing power. Balance is not good. Recovery ability is noticeably lacking. As is his hand work. Not exactly a zone-blocking scheme fit. Strange selection although interior OL needed to be addressed. (Chris Trapasso)
Most interesting pick (A-): RB Ty Chandler, UNC (R5, P169)
Chandler is an older prospect, but it's not like teams use running backs for very long anymore. He was the No. 5 running back recruit in the 2017 class, and is a fun athlete who could play a role in Kevin O'Connell's offense.
NFC South
Atlanta Falcons
Best pick (A): EDGE Arnold Ebiketie, Penn State (R2, P38)
First-round film and traits. Only reason he was available is because he's not enormous. Burst, bend, pass-rush plans, speed-to-power conversion. Super consistent. Falcons desperately need stars in their front seven on defense beyond Grady Jarrett. Not majorly expensive to trade up (Chris Trapasso)
Worst pick (C): OL Justin Shaffer, Georgia (R6, P190)
Will add run-blocking prowess to Atlanta's offensive line but a major liability in pass pro. Length and girth to live inside in the NFL. (Chris Trapasso)
Most interesting pick (A-): QB Desmond Ridder, Cincinnati (R3, P74)
I'm curious if Marcus Mariota is on a short leash in Atlanta, and how excited Arthur Smith is for Ridder. Remember, the Falcons chose him over Malik Willis, Matt Corral and Sam Howell.
Carolina Panthers
Best pick (B+): OT Ikem Ekwonu, N.C. State (R1, P6)
The Panthers played spinning tops at left tackle last year, so getting a tackle was a no brainer in this draft. I liked Evan Neal more, but I get this choice. Ekwonu needs to work on his pass protection some, but he is fixable. (Pete Prisco)
Worst pick (C): LB Brandon Smith, Penn State (R4, P120)
Carolina not really in position to be trading up, but Smith has sky-high upside given his size, length, and overall athletic profile. Super fast too. Missed tackles are very frequent. Play-recognition skills are slower than usual. Coverage chops stand out. (Chris Trapasso)
Most interesting pick (B): QB Matt Corral, Ole Miss (R3, P94)
The Panthers traded up for him, and he apparently was their No. 1 QB. Ian Rapoport's report about Corral falling due to off-field issues seemingly caught everyone off guard, so that will be something to watch as well. He has potential, but when will he see the field?
New Orleans Saints
Best pick (A-): LB D'Marco Jackson, App State (R5, P161)
Commander at the second level of a defense. Knows his assignments and gets there in a hurry thanks to burst/short-area quickness. Shorter, smaller stature LB who plays bigger. Mostly a QB spy/blitzer in passing situations but did make some plays in coverage. Very smart. Love this pick for him to learn behind DeMario Davis. (Chris Trapasso)
Worst pick (C+): CB Alontae Taylor, Tennessee (R2, P49)
Older prospect who's an explosive mover on the field. Best in zone when he can watch the QB and pounce. Will deliver jarring hits. Big-time speed. Change-of-direction ability is average for the position, which limits his man-to-man coverage upside. Long arms. Missed tackles pop on film. (Chris Trapasso)
Most interesting pick (B-): OL Trevor Penning, Northern Iowa (R1, P19)
Penning has the size and the mentality to be a long-term starter in this league, but will he make an immediate impact, or will there be a learning curve at the next level?
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Best pick (A+): CB Zyon McCollum, Sam Houston State (R5, P157)
Another long, traits-y CB for the Buccaneers. It's what they love. McCollum suffocated every WR at the FCS level. Only blips were two long balls where he couldn't find the ball in the air. Major bend, speed, change-of-direction skill. Great pick. (Chris Trapasso)
Worst pick (D+): EDGE Andre Anthony, LSU, (R7, P248)
This is a major roll of the dice. 2021 season was cut short due to injury. Smaller-framed type who can get controlled often by bigger blockers. Burst/bend is there. Not a pass-rush plan type at this stage of his career. (Chris Trapasso)
Most interesting pick (B): RB Rachaad White, Arizona State (R3, P91)
Could this be Tampa Bay's new pass-catching back? The Buccaneers are high on this Pac-12 playmaker.
NFC West
Arizona Cardinals
Best pick (A): DL Myjai Sanders, Cincinnati (R3, P100)
Monstrous upside with this EDGE, because he's skinny for the position but already plays with big-time speed-to-power conversion. Bend is good, not great for his frame. Pass-rush move arsenal is developed. Doubling up in the defensive trenches is sensible for Cardinals. (Chris Trapasso)
Worst pick (C+): LB Jesse Luketa, Penn State (R7, P256)
Tested like an explosive athlete but is much more of a high-energy player on the field. Routinely sticks to blocks but battles hard to free himself. Unique, stocky frame. (Chris Trapasso)
Most interesting pick (B+): TE Trey McBride, Colorado State (R2, P55)
The Cardinals re-signed Zach Ertz this offseason, traded for Kyler Murray's college teammate in Marquise Brown and then added another pass-catcher at the tight end position. I think this is an underrated pick, and that McBride's athleticism will be utilized by Kliff Kingsbury.
Los Angeles Rams
Best pick (A-): OL Logan Bruss, Wisconsin (R3, P104)
Love this pick. Bruss is an athletic battler with a technically sound game and mostly clean film. He'll fit in the Rams wide-zone scheme wonderfully. (Chris Trapasso)
Worst pick (C-): OL AJ Arcuri, Michigan State (R7, P261)
Average-at-best athlete who will struggle with speed rushers at the next level. Anchor is quality because of his knee bend and natural strength. Run-blocking ability is slightly above average but not someone who's going to excel in space. (Chris Trapasso)
Most interesting pick (B): RB Kyren Williams, Notre Dame (R5, P164)
Cam Akers, Darrell Henderson Jake Funk and now Kyren Williams. Sean McVay has an eye for playmakers, and he has a role in mind for this kid from Notre Dame. Trapasso says he's one of the draft's most complete runners.
San Francisco 49ers
Best pick (A): CB Tariq Castro-Fields, Penn State (R6, P221)
Experienced man-to-man cover CB with starter traits. At times beaten type but can recover and has nice footwork. Really made life difficult for the Ohio State WRs in 2021. Big-time value selection here. (Chris Trapasso)
Worst pick (D): RB Tyrion Davis-Price, LSU (R3, P93)
Hammer of a back with dynamic burst. But minimal elusiveness and long speed. Way early for him. Way early. And San Fran doesn't need to pick RB this early in Shanahan's system. (Chris Trapasso)
Most interesting pick (C): WR Danny Gray, SMU (R3, P105)
A playmaker that can rack up yards, Trapasso said Gray went too early this weekend. However, Kyle Shanahan clearly held his speed in high regard.
Seattle Seahawks
Best pick (A): EDGE Tyreke Smith, Ohio State (R5, P158)
One of the biggest sleeper EDGEs in this class. Hand-work is of first-round caliber. Good size too. Bend flashes are impressive just not super consistent. Could get a tick more powerful. Not a run defender. (Chris Trapasso)
Worst pick (C+): WR Bo Melton, Rutgers (R7, P229)
Gadget type in college who ran super-fast at the combine but doesn't play to that speed on the field. Tiny frame and plays to it. Battles after the catch and flashed a bit in that area but not incredibly elusive. (Chris Trapasso)
Most interesting pick (C+): RB Kenneth Walker III, Michigan State (R2, P41)
I thought he was the best running back in this class. Could he overtake Chris Carson and Rashaad Penny immediately? | https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2022-nfl-draft-every-teams-best-worst-and-most-interesting-pick-in-division-by-division-takeaways/ | 2022-05-01T22:21:11Z | https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2022-nfl-draft-every-teams-best-worst-and-most-interesting-pick-in-division-by-division-takeaways/ | false | 1 |

Associate editor Chua Mui Hoong's column on assisted living options for the elderly struck a chord with me (Can HDB flats be turned into assisted living units?, April 29).
I have always advocated assisted living facilities, albeit for the intellectually disabled community.
As at 2020, there were only eight adult disability homes providing long-term residential care and short-term respite care for adults with intellectual disability.
Due to the limited spaces, priority is often given to those who are lower-functioning and those in the low-income group.
Ms Chua mentioned the "missing middle" group in eldercare. There is also such a group among the intellectually disabled. Similarly, it refers to those who are not so low-functioning as to need round-the-clock residential home care, and not high-functioning enough to live independently in their own homes.
I propose assisted living options for this group, modelled after the St Bernadette Lifestyle Village.
Singapore now has fewer nuclear family households, smaller household sizes and more aged households.
Hence, it is a matter of urgency that the Government work with the private sector to come up with more varied assisted living facilities for both the elderly and the intellectually disabled.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — San Diego County lawyers are seeking to wipe out an $85 million jury award to the family of man who died after being restrained by sheriff’s deputies in 2015, or get a new trial in the lawsuit that generated the case.
County lawyers contend the verdict stemming from the negligence and wrongful death lawsuit was “incurably infected with error” and that the trial was riddled with rulings that hurt the county’s case.
The request is detailed in motions filed in U.S. District Court in San Diego earlier this month by county lawyers. They are the first moves in what will likely be a protracted fight to reduce or completely overturn the verdict returned March 15 in favor of the family of Lucky Phounsy.
One motion asks U.S. District Court Judge Marilyn Huff to set aside the verdict, contending the evidence was not sufficient to support the jury’s conclusion, The San Diego Union-Tribune reported. A second seeks a new trial, or a reduction in the award, arguing there were a series of trial errors and that the amount awarded was excessive.
Phounsy, 32, died after being hogtied, shocked him with a stun gun and restrained by San Diego Sheriff’s Department deputies at the Santee home of a relative on April 13, 2015. Phounsy’s heart stopped on the way to the hospital. He was resuscitated, but died several days later.
The county medical examiner concluded his death was accidental and the result of the long struggle with deputies, combined with the effects of the drug ecstasy he had taken several days before.
But lawyers for the family disputed that conclusion and argued that the conduct of the deputies caused him to suffocate to death.
They pointed to deputies binding Phounsy’s hands and ankles in restraints, failing to monitor his vital signs and continuing to restrain him when one deputy forcibly held his head down while he was in an ambulance.
The case was tried twice in federal court. In September a jury deadlocked and could not reach a verdict. At a second trial held in March, after only a day of deliberation, the jury found the county liable and awarded Phounsy’s family $85 million.
Lawyers for the family must still file their arguments opposing the county motions. In a statement, attorneys Mark Fleming and Timothy Scott said the county is still evading responsibility for Phounsy’s death.
“The rehashed arguments raised by the County have already been rejected” by courts several times,” said Scott. Fleming said that the bid to cut the money award disrespects “both the value of Lucky’s life and the enormity of his loss to his family, as well as the hard work and careful consideration of the jury.” | https://www.wpri.com/news/us-and-world/san-diego-seeks-to-void-85m-award-in-sheriff-restraint-case/ | 2022-05-01T22:28:22Z | https://www.wpri.com/news/us-and-world/san-diego-seeks-to-void-85m-award-in-sheriff-restraint-case/ | true | 34 |
Renovating the old mill was a family effort, and Blee called on his sister Kate, a textile designer based in London, to lend a helping hand with the tile work. Kate's repertoire also extends to building installations, including a ceramic wall in the City and Islington Center for Lifelong Learning in North London. "She had several boxes left over," Blee recalls, "which meant another opportunity to use something that was lying around." The tiles, with finishes ranging from heavy glazes to matte coats, offered textural variety, which brother and sister used to "play around with the idea of reflection from the roof light." | https://www.dwell.com/@stevenking9080 | 2022-05-01T22:32:36Z | https://www.dwell.com/@stevenking9080 | true | null |
Texas woman shoots, kills man who broke into her home with kids inside, says police
SAN ANTONIO, Texas - A Texas woman shot and killed a man Thursday night who broke into her home, according to police.
KSAT reports that the shooting happened at 10 p.m. April 28 in the 600 block of Kashmuir Place, not far from Kellis Avenue and South Side Lions Park on the southeast side of San Antonio.
The woman was inside her home with her three children when she heard a man break in, getting in through the laundry room in the back of the house, according to KSAT. The woman then grabbed a gun and shot the man in the chest.
When officers arrived at the scene, they found the man in the woman’s backyard, sitting on a chair and bleeding from gunshot wounds, says KSAT. The man died on the way to the hospital. The man's name and age have not been released.
Police are still investigating the shooting but have not announced any charges, says FOX News. Neither the woman nor any of her children were harmed in the incident.

PALOS VERDES ESTATES, Calif. (AP) — Hannah Green held onto the lead Saturday in the Palos Verdes Championship after a frustrating start on the hilly, windswept course perched above the Pacific Ocean.
Three strokes ahead of Lydia Ko and three other players entering the day, Green overcame bogeys on the first two holes to shoot a 1-over 72 and take a one-shot lead over playing partner Ko into the final round.
“I got off to a horrendous start, I guess you could say,” Green said. “Just short-sided myself too many times today, so I was actually pretty happy with the 1-over score. Just hit a couple of funny wedge shots and also didn’t read the lies and the wind direction.”
Green closed the back nine bogey-eagle-bogey-birdie and also dropped a stroke on the par-4 12th. The Australian birdied the par-5 16th and parred the last two to finish at 8-under 205 in the first-year event that wraps up the LPGA Tour’s two-week, Los Angeles-area stay.
“It’s hard,” Green said. “You know there are some opportunities on this golf course, but you also know there are a couple tough holes. You just have to stay patient like every other golf course, but it’s hard when Lydia is breathing down your back and there are so many good scores from earlier in the day.”
Ko shot a 70, also overcoming a bad start. The New Zealander had a double bogey on the par-4 second and a bogey on the par-4 fourth.
“I think I made it a little harder than it was,” Ko said. “But considering how I started, to finish under par for the day, upwards and onwards.”
She rallied with five birdies, the last a 30-footer on the 16th. She bogeyed the par-3 17th and saved par with a 7-footer on the par-4 18th.
“It was really windy,” Ko said. “I think there is a huge difference between playing in the morning and the afternoon. Luckily, in the last few holes the wind died down, so made it a little bit easier.”
Ranked third in the world, Ko won the Gainbridge LPGA at Boca Rio in January for her 17th LPGA Tour title.
Green won both of her LPGA Tour titles in 2019, taking the major KPMG Women’s PGA at Hazeltine and the Portland Classic. She was second behind Nasa Hataoka a week ago in the LA Open at Whilshire Country Club.
Lexi Thompson jumped from a tie for 37th to a tie for third at 5 under with a 66, teeing off more than 2 1/2 hours before Green and Ko in the final group. She’s making her first start since tying for fourth four weeks ago at Mission Hills in the first major championship of the year.
“The first two days were a little bit rough with the ball-striking, but came together today,” Thompson said. “Had a good range session yesterday after my round and figured out a few things. Just felt confident coming into today.”
Allisen Corpuz (68) also was 5 under with Gemma Dryburgh (68), Inbee Park (70), Marina Alex (70), Andrea Lee (70), Annie Park (71), Megan Khang (72) and first-round leader Minjee Lee (72).
Inbee Park chipped in for eagle on 16 for a share of the lead with at 7 under, then bogeyed the final two holes.
Top-ranked Jin Young Ko was 4 under after a 73.
Anna Davis, the Augusta National Women’s Amateur winner, was 2 over after a 72 in her first LPGA Tour start. The 16-year-old is from Spring Valley east of San Diego. She received a sponsor exemption.
“To be able to play in on the weekend in an LPGA Tour event, it’s pretty good experience,” Davis said. “Looking forward to many more for sure.” | https://www.tristatehomepage.com/sports/hannah-green-takes-1-shot-lead-into-palos-verdes-finale/ | 2022-05-01T22:46:46Z | https://www.tristatehomepage.com/sports/hannah-green-takes-1-shot-lead-into-palos-verdes-finale/ | true | 32 |
As the Air Jordan 1 Mid continues to win over savvy sneaker enthusiasts everywhere, the silhouette keeps experimenting with colorways, builds and themes. Recently, the lifestyle-oriented take on Michael Jordan’s first signature sneaker appeared in a multi-colored arrangement perfect for spring and summer. While far from the model’s first style made up of disparate tones, the upcoming release’s layout delivers a refreshing option to the Air Jordan legacy. Mid-foot panels opt for a beige hue, while leather layers at the forefoot, along the tongue and across the heel deviating in bolder blue, orange, green, yellow and red colors. Profile swooshes indulge in a vibrant pink that contrasts the ruby-colored Jumpman logo on the Jordan 1-variant’s tongue. Underfoot, white and navy tones make up the latest take on Peter Moore’s iconic sole unit. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2586905024945/josh-sperling-on-painting-off-the-wall-cutting-his-teeth-with-kaws | 2022-05-01T22:51:10Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2586905024945/josh-sperling-on-painting-off-the-wall-cutting-his-teeth-with-kaws | true | null |
Man shot and killed inside Los Angeles cannabis dispensary
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Authorities say a man was shot and killed inside a Los Angeles cannabis dispensary and police are searching for two suspects. Investigators didn’t immediately identify a possible motive for the shooting around noon Saturday at the second-floor shop along a busy boulevard in the Tarzana neighborhood. Officials say shots were fired inside the dispensary and also in an alley behind the building with a synagogue on the first floor. Police didn’t immediately identify the victim, offer suspect descriptions or provide the name of the dispensary. | https://keyt.com/news/2022/05/01/man-shot-and-killed-inside-los-angeles-cannabis-dispensary/ | 2022-05-01T22:52:12Z | https://keyt.com/news/2022/05/01/man-shot-and-killed-inside-los-angeles-cannabis-dispensary/ | false | null |
MELBOURNE, Australia, May 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Providing independent waste management services Melbourne-wide, leading waste broker Waste Sense is working towards a sustainable future for the community. With almost a third of services involving recycled waste, Waste Sense works proactively with customers to divert waste from landfill into the recycling markets and is committed to reducing landfill and ensuring recycling is made as easy as possible.
According to Waste Sense, global use of plastic is expected to double by 2040. To help tackle the issue, Australia's national science agency, CSIRO, has pledged to help the country reduce its plastic waste by 80% over the next 10 years.
CSIRO's Ending Plastic Waste Mission is being funded by an initial $50m investment from various contributors including CSIRO, industry, government, university and other organisations. The Mission will develop cutting-edge science and innovation to change the way Australia makes, uses, recycles and disposes of plastic, explains Waste Sense.
The plastic waste industry is valued at around $87 billion globally and developing circular economy plastic initiatives for recycling is expected to provide US$67 billion in value globally by 2025. Waste Sense explains that by turning plastic waste into a renewable resource, Australia's circular economy can grow significantly.
CSIRO's Mission includes research into changing the way Australia makes, uses and recycles plastics by developing innovative technologies, materials, products and processes as well as supporting a sustainable plastics circular economy by utilising plastic waste to deliver economic benefits. Additionally, generating effective solutions for recycling and creating systematic change is on the agenda, explains Waste Sense.
A collaboration between CSIRO and Murdoch University to establish a new Bioplastics Innovation Hub is intended to develop a new generation of 100% compostable products such as bottles, caps and wrappers, which all contribute significantly to Australia's plastic pollution problem.
As Waste Sense explains, tackling the challenges of plastic pollution and protecting the environment while making sustainability profitable for business requires a combined effort.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Joe Musgrove struck out eight over seven solid innings and the San Diego Padres beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-2 Sunday.
The game was Musgrove’s second with the Padres at PNC Park since being traded from Pittsburgh to San Diego after the 2020 season. He pitched three years for the Pirates.
Musgrove (4-0) looked comfortable in his old stomping grounds, scattering seven hits while allowing just one run.
Manny Machado hit an RBI single in the third off Mitch Keller (0-4) to put the Padres in the lead. The RBI was his team-leading 16th of the season.
Trent Grisham hit a two-run single after shortstop Cole Tucker's two-out throwing error in the seventh.
Roberto Pérez hit an RBI single in the seventh and the Pirates loaded the bases with no outs in the eighth, but got only a sacrifice fly by Michael Chavis.
In the Padres ninth, Abrams had a sacrifice fly and Jake Cronenworth hit an RBI single. Abrams also doubled and singled.
Taylor Rogers struck out two for his ninth save.
Padres manager Bob Melvin was ejected before the start of the eighth inning.
Keller allowed one run on five hits over six innings. He struck out five and did not issue a walk. His ERA dropped from 6.62 to 5.32.
Keller's six-inning start was the longest by any Pittsburgh pitcher this season. The Pirates have not had a starting pitcher earn a win in 22 consecutive games to the start the season.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Pirates: LHP Anthony Banda (illness) threw a simulated game and should be able to return from the 10-day IL when eligible May 3, general manager Ben Cherington said.
UP NEXT
Padres: RHP Mike Clevinger will make his first start since Sept. 23, 2020, in Cleveland on Tuesday. Clevinger missed all of 2021 after Tommy John surgery.
Pirates: RHP Bryse Wilson (0-0, 4.70) will begin a two-game series in Detroit on Tuesday.

Actor and comedian Bill Murray addressed the production shutdown of his latest film, "Being Mortal," in the wake of reports of a complaint against him.
Fox Searchlight told the film crew in an email last month that the film was being shut down due to an unspecified complaint but didn't confirm Murray was involved, Deadline first reported on April 20.
On Saturday, Murray was attending the Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholder meeting in Omaha, Nebraska. The actor, who's a shareholder, told CNBC that he had a "difference of opinion" with a woman on the set of "Being Mortal." But Murray said he was optimistic that he and the woman, whom he didn't name, could "make peace."
"We had a difference of opinion; I had a difference of opinion with a woman I'm working with. I did something I thought was funny, and it wasn't taken that way," Murray said. "The company, the movie studio wanted to do the right thing. So, they wanted to check it all out and investigate it and so they stopped the production. But as of now we're talking and we're trying to make peace with each other."
The nature of the complaint has not been made public, but Murray said he had been thinking a lot about what happened, and it has been "quite an education" for him, according to the interview he gave CNBC.
"You know what I always thought was funny as a little kid isn't necessarily the same as what's funny now. Things change and the times change, so it's important for me to figure it out," Murray said. "I think the most important thing is that it's best for the other person. I thought about and that it's not best for the other person, doesn't matter what happens for me. And that gave me a great deal of comfort and relaxation because your brain doesn't operate well when you're in the unknown, when you're thinking like, 'well, how can I be so...how can I misperceive? How can I be so inaccurate and so insensitive,' when you think you're being sensitive to some sensibility that you've had for a long time."
The actor also told CNBC he hopes to work out his differences with the woman and restart production of "Being Mortal."
"What would make me the happiest would be to put my boots on and for both of us to go back into work and be able to trust each other and work at the work that we both spent a lot of time developing the skill of," Murray said to CNBC. "And hopefully do something that's good for more than just the two of us, but for a whole crew of people who are movie makers and the movie studio as well."
The movie, featuring Bill Murray, Seth Rogen and Keke Palmer, and directed by Aziz Ansari, is based on Atul Gawande's non-fiction book "Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End," according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Ansari wrote the script and was also expected to play a role in the film.
Searchlight Pictures has not responded to multiple requests from CNN for comment.

I’m a money saving expert – from Aldi to Ikea, here are the six best stores to save you $100s
WISE shoppers know a good deal when they see one.
Years of experience have told one expert, Megan Fenno, that you can count on six stores for reliable savings.
The Cinncinnati-based mom of four has been honing her shopping skills for years.
She tweets, blogs and posts her favorite tips regularly.
And has even complied a phenomenal list of favorite stores.
Here are Megan's suggestions on where to shop and how to get the best possible price.
1. Ikea
Tucked away, besides the check-out, you can usually find an "as-is" section at Ikea stores.
The areas are full of furniture and other random goods that have been returned or used as store models.
Megan writes that while it is a hit or miss, you can find quality for half the price.
Most read in Money
2. Staples
According to Megan, shoppers should have Staples on their radar.
This retailer has the best deals in July and August, she shared.
For those with school shopping lists, they often will offer the necessities for pennies on the dollar.
Erasers, pencils, notebook paper, crayons and glue can be found for $0.01 and $0.25.
3. Aldi
Aldi is everyone's favorite no-frills grocery store and this expert agrees.
With over 2,000 stores in 36 states, this massive grocery chain offers tons of great deals.
In fact, there are eight items that are often cheaper than other grocery stores.
4. Dollar Stores
Dollar Stores can also be hit or miss.
Consumer reviews suggest they vary by store and location.
Whether it's Dollar Tree or Dollar General, Megan favors the stores for their greeting card selection.
If you hit the store at the right time, you might even be able to score two cards for $1 or even better.
5. The Children's Place
If you plan to visit, make sure to sign up for their mailing list, as you can get a coupon for $10 off a $40 purchase.
Megan reports finding boy’s jeans and pants for as little as $6.99 a pair.
6. Victoria's Secret
Angels Rewards is another membership program that comes highly recommended.
Also, the semi-annual sale is not to miss.

Scott Simon considers the sharp divide in Los Angeles between rich and poor. He then visits a Korean-American liquor store owner, just north of Watts. Fires and looting closed many liquor stores in 1992. Government and community efforts have attempted to convert many of those liquor stores into different kinds of businesses. Scott also looks at efforts of the Los Angeles Police Department to become more community friendly.

Coach Speak: Clemson 'the perfect fit' for new DL commit
Following St. John’s College (Washington, D.C.) four-star David Ojiegbe announcing his commitment to Clemson Wednesday, The Clemson Insider spoke with his defensive coordinator Mike Ward.
Ojiegbe will be the second player that Ward, who also serves as the associate head coach at St. John’s, will help send to Clemson. He previously served as the defensive line coach for eight years and actually recruited Tré Williams out of Windsor (Conn.).
He’s also coached players like MJ Sherman (Georgia) and Greg Hudgins (Purdue) and Ojiegbe is the latest great defensive lineman to come out of St. John’s.
“I’ve had the opportunity to watch Clemson a couple of times and he asked my advice and I told him that Clemson would be the perfect fit just because they’d be reloading,” Ward said. “They’ve got a lot of dudes, but a lot of those dudes will be leaving, so the opportunity will be there.
“Coach Lemanski (Hall) will do a great job with him. When I talked to David, I think the thing that also stuck out to him was how Clemson kind of develops guys whether it be the P.A.W. Journey or other things. They kind of develop guys for after football too, which I thought they do that as good, if not better than anybody in the country. I told him I thought that was a big aspect that a lot of universities are missing.”
When Ward watches Xavier Thomas play, it reminds him a lot of Ojiegbe. Obviously there are some things that he needs to work on and Ojiegbe knows those things, but Ward thinks he’s just scratching the surface on how good he can be.
“That coupled with the way he works and the work ethic he has, the sky’s the limit for him,” Ward added. “From a football player aspect, you’re not gonna get a better leader. You’re not gonna get a more invested player into your program. He’s gonna do whatever it takes to win. He’s gonna do whatever the team’s needs.”
That’s why Ward views Ojiegbe as the perfect fit for Clemson.
“There is the comfortability factor coupled with the opportunity and I think it’s just a match made in heaven,” Ward said. “Tré’s a very good recruiter. He did some recruiting while he was here for us too. He’s a phenomenal recruiter, but I also think Coach (Dabo) Swinney does a good job and the program somewhat sells itself.
“I think from a fit standpoint, Clemson’s DNA and his DNA are exactly the same. All of the things that he’s about they’re about. It’s just a great fit. The first time he went down there, he tried to talk himself out of how much he liked it and then the second time he went down there, he was like there was no doubt in his mind.”
Last, but certainly not least, we asked Ward to give us a breakdown of who Ojiegbe is as a person and what his character is like. He didn’t mince words.
“I would say first and foremost, there’s no one who expects more from David than himself,” Ward said. “His mom, his family, his support system is great. His why is what has allowed him to be so successful thus far. I would say that is probably his most powerful asset and really what drives him. I’ve been around a lot of really good players, he’s up there with the best leaders we’ve ever had. More so than that, he’s a great person, he’s a great teammate, he’s just a great human being.”

BALTIMORE — Dr. Morton Mower, a former Maryland-based cardiologist who helped invent an automatic implantable defibrillator that has helped countless heart patients live longer and healthier, has died at age 89.
Funeral services were held Wednesday for Mower, who died two days earlier of cancer at Porter Adventist Hospital in Denver, The Baltimore Sun reported. The Maryland native had moved to Colorado about a decade ago.
Mower and Dr. Michel Mirowski, both colleagues at Sinai Hospital in Baltimore, began working in 1969 on developing a miniature defibrillator that could be implanted into a patient. The device would correct a patient’s over-rapid or inefficient heartbeat with an electric shock to resume its regular rhythm.
“It was the talk of the whole hospital that these two crazy guys are going to put in an automatic defibrillator,” Mower said in a 2015 interview with The Lancet medical journal. “If something had gone awry, we would have never lived it down. We were these two crazy guys who wanted to put a time bomb in people’s chests, so to speak.”
The physicians had, in a matter of months, a model of an automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator for demonstration. But it wasn’t until 1980 that the device was implanted into a human at Johns Hopkins Hospital, the newspaper reported.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the device in 1985. Both doctors shared the patent for the device, the technology of which was sold to pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly. Mower later became director of medical research for the Eli Lilly division that produced the implantable cardioverter defibrillator, according to the newspaper.
“I think Morty had as much influence successfully finding a treatment for sudden death as anyone in our profession,” said Dr. David Cannom, a retired Los Angeles cardiologist and longtime friend.
AdvertisementThe device “proved that it was better than medication in treating arrhythmia, and they did this against all odds at a small hospital in Baltimore,” Cannom added. “And for the past 40 years, it has proven that its reliable … and has saved hundreds of thousand patients’ lives.”
Mower, a Baltimore native who grew up in Frederick, attended Johns Hopkins and the University of Maryland School of Medicine. He worked at Baltimore hospitals and served in the Army before beginning his professional career at Sinai in 1966 as a co-investigator of its Coronary Drug Project. He was chief or acting chief of cardiology at the hospital for several years in the 1970s and 1980s. Sinai Hospital named a medical office building for him in 2005.
Later in his career, he was a consultant or executive for several medical companies.
“He continued his research and worked up until his death,” his son, Mark Mower, of Beverly Hills, California, wrote in an email to the newspaper. “He never wanted to waste a moment of his life.”
Mower received many awards, including a 2002 induction into the National Inventors Hall of Fame. He also was involved in Jewish charitable organizations.
In addition to his son, Mower is survived by his wife of 57 years, Tobia; a daughter, Sobin Sara Mower of Denver; and three grandchildren.

ASU Draft Recap: Four Sun Devils Selected, More Sign as Free Agents
For the first time since 2015, Arizona State had four players selected in the NFL draft.
Running back Rachaad White was the first off the board, taken by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at pick No. 91 in the third round.
Tampa Bay's interest in White was obvious from the start, as they met with White at the NFL Scouting Combine and also brought him in for a private visit.
White became the highest Arizona State running back drafted since 2000, when J.R. Redmond was selected by New England with pick No. 76.
Thirty picks later, cornerback Jack Jones became the second Sun Devil to hear his name called at the podium. The Patriots made Jones their fourth Arizona State product to be drafted since 2016, following in the footsteps of Devin Lucien, Christian Sam and N'Keal Harry.
Much like White and Tampa Bay, New England's interest in Jones was well documented. The Patriots met with Jones multiple times during the offseason.
At No. 147, defensive lineman D.J. Davidson became ASU's third player off the board when the New York Giants selected him.
In the seventh round, cornerback Chase Lucas was the fourth and final Arizona State product to be drafted thanks to the Detroit Lions at pick No. 237.
ASU's four total players taken trailed only UCLA (6) in the Pac-12.
Selections by Pac-12 School
- UCLA - 6
- Arizona State - 4
- Washington - 4
- USC - 3
- California - 2
- Washington State - 2
- Oregon - 1
- Oregon State - 1
- Stanford - 1
- Utah - 1
Arizona and Colorado were the only teams to not have a player drafted.
The Pac-12 tied for third with the Big 12 among all conferences with 25 selections, trailing the 14-team SEC (65) and Big Ten (48) conferences and ahead of the 14-team ACC (21).
Shortly following the draft, Arizona State had a number of players sign as undrafted free agents.
Tackle Kellen Diesch was the first to land with a team, almost immediately signing with the Miami Dolphins. Fellow offensive lineman Dohnovan West followed suit and landed with the San Francisco 49ers. He reportedly received a $10,000 signing bonus with a total of $100,000 guaranteed.
Linebacker Darien Butler reunited with former defensive coordinator Antonio Pierce in Las Vegas, as he signed with the Raiders.
Tight end Curtis Hodges had interest from multiple teams, but chose Washington. The Commanders had a high Day-3 grade on Hodges, but per a source, knew they would be able to sign him following the draft.
Other ASU Draft Notes
- The Sun Devils have now had a player drafted in either of the first three rounds in three of the last four years thanks to White. In 2019 and 2020 there were back-to-back first-round picks: wide receivers Brandon Aiyuk and N'Keal Harry.
- Arizona State had three defensive players taken for the first time since 2008, which was also the last time two cornerbacks went in the same draft.
- The fall of Diesch and West was surprising for most that followed the draft, as both were projected to be late Day-2 or early Day-3 selections. One source told All Sun Devils West's fall was more surprising than Diesch, as the belief around Diesch's drop was connected to poor interviews with teams. | https://www.si.com/college/arizonastate/football/arizona-state-nfl-draft-recap | 2022-05-01T23:28:43Z | https://www.si.com/college/arizonastate/football/arizona-state-nfl-draft-recap | false | 1 |

One in six divorcees ‘did not realise pension could be affected by splitting’
It is critical that, as part of the separation process, couples take time to think about and discuss their pensions, Aviva said.
One in six (15%) divorced people say they did not realise their pension could be affected by splitting up, a survey has found.
More than a third (34%) said they made no claim on their former partner’s pension, according to the survey of more than 1,000 people who have been through a divorce.
The research, carried out for Aviva, found one in 12 (8%) divorcees do not have their own pension savings – and had been relying on their partner to finance their retirement.
As a result of divorce, nearly one in five (19%) say they will be, or are, significantly worse off in retirement.
“No fault” divorce rule changes came into force in England and Wales in April – meaning married couples can start proceedings without apportioning blame.
Aviva said it is important for couples who are splitting up to understand the impact that it will have on the family finances, including pensions.
It pointed to Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures showing 103,592 divorces were granted in England and Wales in 2020. Aviva suggested the total may increase in the coming years, following the no fault divorce rule changes.
The UK currently holds £15.2 trillion pounds in household wealth – and private pensions make up around £6.4 trillion or just over two-fifths (42%) of the total, it added.
Men are aged 47 on average when they divorce and women are typically aged 44 – ages at which the amount of pension wealth built up may be significant.
To supplement their income following a divorce, a third of divorcees (32%) said they dipped into their savings, one in five (20%) used credit cards for everyday living expenses and a similar number (18%) borrowed from friends or family.
More than one in seven (15%) regularly sold clothing, toys or other household items to make ends meet.
Some also went out to work, having not done so before their divorce, or got a second job and one in eight (12%) cut back or cancelled their pension contributions.
Alistair McQueen, head of savings and retirement at Aviva said: “The breakdown of a marriage is often referred to one of the most traumatic and stressful events anyone can go through.
“Divorce can also be a costly experience, often including legal fees, a new home, a new car and new childcare costs. So, it’s perhaps predictable that so many need to rely on savings or credit cards for support during this time.
“It’s critical that, as part of the separation process, couples take time to think about and discuss one of their single most valuable assets, their pension.
“It’s common that one party will have significant pension provision, and the other party may have little or none. Clearly, this could be a relevant factor in any divorce.”
He said there are several options when dealing with pensions at divorce and it can often be a very complex issue, adding: “As well as hiring a family lawyer, it would be advisable for couples to contact a financial adviser to walk them through the pension valuation and financial process.
“You mustn’t underestimate the value of pensions at this time.”

WASHINGTON (NewsNation) — Detectives in Washington, D.C,. are investigating a kidnapping and robbery involving what was believed to be a ride-share vehicle by victims.
At around 12:30 a.m. Sunday, the Metropolitan Police Department says the victims got into what they believed to be a ride-share vehicle on Florida Avenue, Northwest.
During the ride, authorities say the suspects pulled a gun on the victims and locked them inside the white Dodge Charger. From there, the victims told police they were driven around and ordered to withdraw money from an ATM.
The victims complied with the suspects’ demands before the suspects drove away from the scene.
The Metropolitan Police Department is offering a reward of up to $10,000 to anyone who provides information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the crime.
Anyone with information on the kidnapping and robbery is asked to not take action, but instead call police at 202-727-9099 or text a tip to the Department’s TEXT TIP LINE at 50411. | https://www.newsnationnow.com/us-news/dc-authorities-investigate-rideshare-kidnapping-robbery/ | 2022-05-01T23:34:48Z | https://www.newsnationnow.com/us-news/dc-authorities-investigate-rideshare-kidnapping-robbery/ | false | 1 |

Dutch boy, 4, takes mother's car for a joyride
- Published
A four-year-old boy could have a future in Formula One after taking his mum's car for a drive in the Netherlands.
Police in the central city of Utrecht said the child crashed into two parked cars on Saturday, before leaving the scene in his pyjamas and bare feet.
Concerned bystanders called police after spotting him walking down the street alone in the cold.
No one was hurt during his escapade, with police saying on Instagram they had discovered a "new Max Verstappen".
Police wrote that the child had woken up on Saturday when his father went to work, and taken his mother's car keys "to go for a drive".
After officers were called to pick him up, a report came in of an abandoned vehicle near-by, which appeared to have hit two parked cars.
It was registered to the boy's mother, the force said, and officers called her. Handing over the phone to the youngster, police said he mimicked driving and made gestures of turning a steering wheel.
"We then realised that the child may have been the driver," the Instagram post continued.
The four-year-old was given some hot chocolate at the police station and a teddy bear, before being reunited with his mum.
Together, they went to the crash scene, where he was asked if he could show how the car worked.
The child - described by his mother as "resourceful" - opened the car with the key, put it into the ignition and moved his foot to the clutch and gas pedals, police said.
Officers urged the parents to hide their car keys in the future,
"New Max Verstappen found in (the Utrecht suburb of) Overvecht," police wrote in the post - a reference to the current Dutch world champion Formula One driver.
"Fortunately, this mini driver's adventure has come to an end with a sizzle," police added.

Grizzlies fall short at buzzer, beat out by Warriors in Game 1
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - The Memphis Grizzlies and Golden State Warriors began their Western Conference semi-final series of the NBA Playoffs Sunday.
The Grizzlies led the Warriors at halftime, 61-55, but the California team made a comeback, overtaking the Grizzies in the fourth quarter. Down by one point, Ja Morant attempted a layup at the buzzer, but did not succeed.
Final score 117-116.
A rollercoaster of a game, the Warriors and Grizzlies were neck-and-neck for most of Game 1.
A scary moment in the second quarter of Game 1: Golden State forward Draymond Green pulls Memphis forward Brandon Clarke to the floor on a shot attempt.
The moment was caught on camera and shared on Twitter by Action Network.
Green would be assessed a grade-2 flagrant foul and automatically ejected from the game.
By definition, a “flagrant foul--penalty (2)” is ruled when “contact committed against a player, with or without the ball, is interpreted [by officials] to be unnecessary and excessive.”
Grizzlies will face off with Golden State again for Game 2 of their series on Tuesday, May 3, at 8:30 p.m. at the FedExForum.

Labour has accused ministers of a potential cover-up over a PPE contract with a company linked to Tory peer Michelle Mone, after the health department refused to release documents connected to the deal, citing commercial sensitivities.
The row comes days after the National Crime Agency (NCA) searched Mone’s home as part of a potential fraud investigation into the company, PPE Medpro, which won more than £200m in government contracts without public tender.
Angela Rayner, Labour’s deputy leader, wrote to the government in January to seek the release of correspondence and records connected to the deal, as happened over a testing contract won by another company, Randox, after lobbying by the then Tory MP Owen Paterson.
In the letter, Rayner noted that Medpro won the two contracts via a “VIP lane” for politically connected companies after Mone contacted two ministers in May 2020 to say she could source PPE.
“I would ask now that the government takes the same approach as it has to the contract with Randox, which was a similar matter of controversy, and commits now to place all correspondence and records relating to the award in the library of the house [of Commons] for parliamentary scrutiny,” Rayner wrote.
In a reply sent last week, the junior health minister Edward Argar defended the efforts made to buy medical protective supplies at the start of the Covid pandemic, saying the alternative was “not securing the PPE that was desperately needed; clearly not an option”.
“All offers underwent rigorous financial, commercial, legal and policy assessments,” Argar said, adding that decisions were made by officials, with no evidence ministers were involved, and that “due diligence checks were appropriate given the circumstances”.
He added: “However, we are unable to provide correspondence and records relating to the award of the PPE Medpro contract as these remain commercially sensitive, given the department is currently engaged in a mediation process concerning the products it received from PPE Medpro Ltd, which involves confidentiality undertakings.”
The 25m medical gowns supplied by the company were never used after officials rejected them after an inspection, with the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) seeking to recover money from PPE Medpro through mediation. PPE Medpro has maintained that it complied with the terms of its gowns contract and is entitled to keep the money it was paid.
In a statement, Rayner said the government’s refusal to release the documents “reeks of a cover-up”.
She said: “The fact that Medpro is in mediation for providing useless PPE is no excuse for failing to be transparent with the public – in fact it only strengthens the need for clarity about how this eye-watering waste was allowed to happen.
“The government have shown complete disregard for working people by wasting taxpayers’ money on dodgy contracts.”
On Wednesday, the NCA searched several properties associated with Medpro in the Isle of Man and London, including the Isle of Man office building where PPE Medpro is registered and the mansion where Lady Mone lives with her husband, the business magnate Douglas Barrowman.
Responding to previous stories, Mone’s lawyers have said any suggestion of an association or collusion between the Tory peer and PPE Medpro would be “inaccurate” and that she was not involved in the business. “Baroness Mone is neither an investor, director or shareholder in any way associated with PPE Medpro. She has never had any role or function in PPE Medpro, nor in the process by which contracts were awarded to PPE Medpro.”
Mone’s lawyers have said that after she undertook the “simple, solitary and brief step” of referring PPE Medpro to the government she did nothing further in respect of the company.
The Isle of Man constabulary confirmed that search warrants were executed at four addresses on the island on Wednesday “in support of an ongoing NCA investigation”. There were no arrests.
The DHSC referred any queries on Medpro to the NCA. | https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/may/02/labour-says-government-refusal-to-publish-ppe-firms-contracts-reeks-of-cover-up | 2022-05-01T23:48:13Z | https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/may/02/labour-says-government-refusal-to-publish-ppe-firms-contracts-reeks-of-cover-up | true | 1 |

Russia’s top general went on a secret mission to the war’s front late last week to try to shore up his flailing troops — and Ukraine attempted to take him out with a rocket but missed, a report said Sunday.
Gen. Valery Gerasimov — chief of staff of Russia’s forces and Russian President Vladimir Putin’s righthand military man — embarked on the highly unusual and risky journey to the town of Izium to try to “change the course” of what has been a lackluster offensive, the New York Times said, citing who it described as a senior Ukrainian official and a US official with knowledge of the situation.
Russian troops have set up camp in Izium to try to support their gains in the Russia-adjacent Donbas region.
The US official said Gerasimov had been in the region for a “couple days” when Ukrainian forces caught wind of his visit and launched an attack Saturday evening on a local school that had been taken over by Russian forces and which the general had been hunkered down in earlier in the day, the Times said.
By the time of the Ukrainian attack, the general had already left to return to Russia, the outlet said.
Still, around 200 Russian troops were killed — possibly including Russian Maj. Gen. Andrei Simonov, who commanded the forces in the town, the Times said.
Gerasimov was reportedly one of the architects of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which has suffered serious setbacks.
For now, at least, Russia has given up entirely on claiming Ukraine’s capital Kyiv and is instead attempting to consolidate control over the Donbas, experts have said. | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/world/russias-highest-ranking-general-dodges-ukraine-attack-in-secret-trip-to-front-line/168189/ | 2022-05-02T00:01:13Z | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/world/russias-highest-ranking-general-dodges-ukraine-attack-in-secret-trip-to-front-line/168189/ | true | 2 |

A team of University of British Columbia scientists believes it has found a way to harness the anti-bacterial powers of silver without harming the patients it is used on.
Silver has long been researched as a way to keep implanted medical devices – catheters, feeding tubes, stents – free from bacteria, but no one has been able to successfully pull it off. Too much of the metal can be toxic, and coatings made from it have been overly complicated, lacked durability, become gummed up, or haven’t adhered well to surfaces, according to a news release from UBC.
The UBC team’s silver-based coating appears to circumvent these issues, though. A combination of silver nitrate, dopamine and two hydrophilic polymers, the coating slowly releases silver ions in controlled quantities. It repels live and dead bacteria from the implanted medical devices, but doesn’t harm human cells.
The research team has run two successful tests with it. In a 30-day trial, which placed a medical device in an environment with high concentrations of diverse and resilient bacteria, the device came away bacteria free. The coating performed just as well in a seven-day trial with live rats, according to the team.
Co-senior author Dirk Lange said other silver-based coatings rely on bacteria to actually land on the device before they can be killed.
“This results in dead bacteria building up on the surface over time and rendering the device ineffective,” he said.
Their coating, by comparison, slowly releases the silver and kills the bacteria before it ever touches the medical devices. This is how it’s able to last 30 days bacteria free.
The team says use of their coating could be relatively cheap too. They estimate it would cost 50 cents to add it to a catheter.
If their work passes clinical trials, the coating could be in use and preventing infections within the next decade.

KYIV: Ukraine carried out a prisoner change with Russia on Saturday, with seven troopers and 7 civilians coming house, deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk stated in a on-line posting.
One of the troopers was a girl who’s 5 months’ pregnant, she added. She didn’t say what number of Russians had been transferred.
The two nations have swapped prisoners a number of instances through the battle that started with Russia’s invasion on February 24, and on Thursday Ukraine stated Russia had handed over 33 troopers.

Refugees from Ukraine seeking shelter in Calgary were welcomed to the city at an event in Bowness Park on Sunday afternoon.
It was a day to share music and food and welcome those who have endured so much heartache and left so much behind.
Mila Sheveleva arrived in Calgary in March from Kharkiv with just a small bag and her dog.
Through an interpreter, she said she is very thankful for being welcomed to Canada and for all of the programs available for Ukrainians like herself.
“It was fast and easy to obtain all the documents,” Sheveleva said.

While Sheveleva is grateful to be in Canada, she added that she worries about her daughter, who has chosen to stay behind in the city near the Russian border.
“It’s stressful because my older daughter is still in Kharkiv. She is still staying there with her husband,” she said. “They keep shelling every day, rockets or bombs and explosions.”
Sheveleva’s son-in-law Denys Ruban who was also at Sunday’s event, said he moved to Calgary 10 years ago from Ukraine. Much like Sheveleva, he said his parents have also escaped the city of Kharkiv and are staying temporarily in Rome with his sister, not sure when they’ll be able to go back home.
“They don’t know what to do right now. My city is almost destroyed,” Ruban said.
Tanya Babitch was also at the picnic with her daughter and granddaughter. They fled Kharkiv but her husband remains back in Ukraine.
“It was hard to make that decision,” Babitch said through an interpreter.
Babitch is now staying in Calgary with people she’s never met. She said she’s overwhelmed with the support they’ve received here so far, but added it’s hard not speaking English and knowing her husband is surrounded by waves of Russian bombardment.
“There was shelling again today,” Babitch said. “He could hear it really well from home.”
Like others escaping the violence, Babitch is grateful to be safe in Calgary but has no idea what life will be like when she returns home.
“I can’t believe that this is actually happening. It’s all like a bad dream,” she said.
“I want to wake up and that it never happened.”
Immigrant Services Calgary, the Centre for Newcomers and Calgary Catholic Immigration Society hosted information booths Sunday at the Bowness Park event.
The Consul General of Ukraine was also scheduled to speak at the event about consular services available for Ukrainian nationals. | https://globalnews.ca/news/8801741/ukrainian-refugees-welcomed-at-bowness-park-calgary/ | 2022-05-02T00:44:23Z | https://globalnews.ca/news/8801741/ukrainian-refugees-welcomed-at-bowness-park-calgary/ | false | 1 |
