WASHINGTON (AP) — Fighting for decades over abortion policy, Congress is about to run into the stark political limits of its ability to save — or end — the Roe v. Wade protections.
President Joe Biden has called on Democrats to enshrine the nearly 50-year-old Supreme Court ruling into law after the disclosure of a draft opinion that would overturn the landmark decision that declared a constitutional right to abortion services.
But passing bills is easier said than done in the narrowly split Congress — reflective of a deeply divided nation.
A test vote Wednesday in the Senate on a Democratic bill to protect access to abortions is expected to fail, blocked by a Republican-led filibuster.
At the same time, Republicans led by Sen. Mitch McConnell face similar political problems trying to ban abortions nationwide, even if they wrest control of the chamber in next fall's midterm elections.
Instead, whatever the Supreme Court decides on Roe v. Wade in its final opinion this summer almost guarantees a new era of political fighting in Congress over abortion policy, filibuster rules and the most basic rights to health care, privacy and protecting the unborn.
“All of us will have to answer for this vote for the rest of our time in public office,” said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer ahead of Wednesday's action.
In recent years, abortion access debates in many ways have come to a standstill in Congress, a political draw, as lawmakers faced the limits of trying to move public policy beyond the historic Roe v. Wade court decision. Bills would routinely come up for votes — to expand or limit abortion services — only to fall along typically party line votes or be stripped out of broader legislative packages.
But the Supreme Court's conservative 6-3 majority, solidified during the Trump era, has ignited an urgent shift to the forefront in Congress.
McConnell stunned Washington when he said “it's possible” to see a national abortion ban.
The Republican leader has been a key architect of the Supreme Court's solid conservative majority, engineering rapid-fire confirmation of three of Donald Trump's nominees in just four years and changing Senate filibuster rules to push past Democratic objections.
In an interview with USA Today, McConnell recently said, “If the leaked opinion became the final opinion, legislative bodies – not only at the state level but at the federal level – certainly could legislate in that area."
But on Tuesday McConnell acknowledged that if Republicans become the majority in the Senate they still are unlikely to have enough votes to ban abortion outright.
“The widespread sentiment in my conference is this issue will be dealt with at the state level,” McConnell said. He said Republicans won't have the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster.
Likewise, Democrat Brian Schatz of Hawaii said for the other side, “I think we have to be explicit and tell the truth, which is, we don’t currently have the votes.” Still, he said hopefully that if voters elect more senators who favor abortion rights, "we will put this into federal law.”
Both parties face enormous pressure to convince voters they are doing all they can — the Democrats working to preserve abortion access and the Republicans to end it — as they race toward fall when control of Congress is at stake in the elections.
The congressional campaign committees are fundraising off the abortion issue, and working furiously to energize voters who are already primed to engage when such a long-running and important issue for millions of Americans is at stake.
The two Republican senators who support abortion access, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, who faces her own reelection in November, and Susan Collins of Maine, have proposed a separate bill that would counter the Supreme Court's action.
But both senators, who voted to confirm most of Trump's justices, are expected to stick with their Republican Party this week and block the Democratic bill as too broad.
At the same time, Democrats have largely panned the Collins-Murkowski effort as insufficient, leaving no hopes, for now, of any compromise.
And rank-and-file Republicans distanced themselves from McConnell's initial remarks, saying an all-out national ban on abortions is not something they can deliver.
"The reality is is that you would never get that done here," said Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D.
Democrats are unconvinced that Republicans, who have fought for years to deny abortion services, would give that fight up now and let the states decide.
Democrats believe Republicans are “running scared,” Schumer said, afraid of what they have unleashed, with polls showing most Americans want to preserve some access to abortion.
It was McConnell who blocked Barack Obama's choice of Merrick Garland to fill a court vacancy at the start of the 2016 presidential campaign, leaving the seat open for Trump to fill after he won the White House.
And even though McConnell insisted Tuesday there is “zero” interest among Republicans to change Senate filibuster rules to make it easier to pass an abortion ban, it was the GOP leader who orchestrated the Senate rules change to allow 51-vote threshold to confirm Supreme Court nominees.
“Republicans have worked day in and day out for decades on end to overturn Roe v Wade,” said Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash.
More likely is that both parties will try to chip away at the issue — Republicans tightening access to abortion at the national level, while Democrats work to shore up the availability of medicinal abortions and other related services.
“There are multiple fronts we can move on,” said Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass.
In the House, where Democrats have the majority, lawmakers approved the Women's Health Protection Act last year on a largely part line vote once the Supreme Court first signaled it was considering the issue by allowing a Texas law's ban on abortions to take effect.
But the bill has languished in the Senate, evenly split 50-50 with Democratic control because of Vice President Kamala Harris' ability to cast a tie-braking vote. Unable to mount the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster, a test vote failed in February, with one Democrat, Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, joining Republicans to block the bill's consideration.
A similar outcome is expected Wednesday when the Senate tries again to pass the legislation, which would put the guaranteed right to abortion into law.
It's the first of what Schumer promises will be repeated efforts to show voters where the parties stand.
“This is no longer just a abstract exercise: Now we know women’s rights are at stake,” Schumer said. "So this vote is the first step. We are going to keep fighting."

TV hunter 'The Bear Whisperer' faces federal charges for illegal poaching in Alaska's Kenai Fjords National Park before airing the footage on hit show
- Harvey Neil Anthony, whos stars on his own reality TV show as The Bear Whisperer, has been charged with two counts of violating the Lacey Act
- The legislation bans the trafficking of wildlife, fish and certain plants
- Anthony, also known as Blaine, allegedly killed a black bear inside the Kenai Fjords National Park in Alaska, where it is illegal to hunt
- Prosecutors alleged he lied about killing the bear at legal hunting spot Berger Bay when it was actually shot in the park
- Anthony later allegedly used footage of the killing for his hit TV show The Bear Whisperer
- He and his production company Nature Productions face up to a year in prison and fee up to $100,000 per person and $200,000 per organization
The star of reality TV hunting hunting show, 'The Bear Whisperer', faces federal charges for illegal poaching in Alaska's Kenai Fjords National Park.
Harvey Neil Anthony - known professionally as Blaine Anthony - has been charged with violating the Lacey Act.
The federal legislation, first introduced in 1900, bans the trafficking of wildlife, fish and certain plants.
Anthony, 55, of Benton, Maine allegedly killed a black bear in the national park in May 2017 and later aired the footage on his show The Bear Whisperer.
The reality TV star allegedly lied on official paperwork about where the animal was shot, as it is illegal to hunt within the park.
'Black bears occur throughout the Park and represent a significant wildlife component of its ecosystem,' the complaint, first obtained by the Daily Beast, read. 'Hunting is prohibited in the Park.'
Anthony reportedly participated in at least eight bear hunts 'on or around Kenai Peninsula' between 2011 and 2019, court documents stated, and he allegedly used footage from between 2015 and 2017 on his reality TV show.
'The Bear Whisperer' Harvey Neil Anthony has been hit with two charges for violating the Lacey Act by allegedly killing two bears inside the Kenai Fjords National Park in Alaska
Anthony - known professionally as Blaire - allegedly killed a black bear (pictured) inside the Kenai Fjords National Park in Alaska, where it is illegal to hunt, in May 2017. He posted photos on his Facebook account, tagging Homer as the location of the killing
Out-of-state hunters also 'must be accompanied in the field by an Alaska-licensed guide or a resident within second-degree of kindred,' the state's Department of Fish and Game said.
Anthony was accompanied by an Alaska captain, known in the court documents as 'Individual A,' on those eight trips.
The complaint alleged that on one of the multi-day manhunts in May 2017, Anthony and his crew killed a black bear on Pilot Harbor, which sits within the national park.
They later allegedly transported the bear to Homer on Individual A's boat.
Anthony reportedly filed paperwork on May 12, 2017 falsely listing the kill-site as Berger Bay - a legal hunting spot - and not Kenai Fjords. The two areas are roughly 20 miles apart.
He reportedly had the bear sent to his home in Maine after it was taxidermized, according to the complaint.
Prosecutors, however, say there is footage of the event that was shot for Bear Whisperer.
'Video footage was taken of the hunt for use on Harvey Neil Anthony and Nature Productions, Inc.’s television hunting show,' the court documents read.
The 55-year-old of Benton, Maine allegedly lied about where he killed the bear - saying he killed it at legal hunting spot Berger Bay, instead of the national park
Anthony posted several photos, including this one, tagging Homer as the location instead of Kenai Fjords National Park in Alaska
Prosecutors said the animal was killed in the park Kenai Fjords National Park in Alaska which has about 3,000 to 4,000 black bears
The footage reportedly aired on the show, alongside more footage of a second illegal killing in the national park, prosecutors claimed.
If convicted of the two counts, Anthony, alongside his production company Nature Productions, face up to a year in prison and fee up to $100,000 per person and $200,000 per organization, the Daily Beast reported.
Anthony is expected in court on June 10 for his hearing.
There's an estimated 3,000 to 4,000 black bears in the Kenai Peninsula and there are an estimated 410 bears born each year in the region.
Roughly 100,000 black bears live in Alaska and their only predator is humans.

2-year-old dies after falling into septic tank, coroner says
GAFFNEY, S.C. (WHNS/Gray News) – A toddler died Tuesday after he fell into a septic tank in South Carolina, officials said.
Dispatchers received a call at 11 a.m. for a child that was stuck in a septic tank in Gaffney, along the state’s northern border.
The Cherokee County Coroner’s Office said 2-year-old Hawkins Abercrombie of New York died after he was rushed to the hospital.
Hawkins was visiting friends in South Carolina with his mother and two siblings. The coroner said his mom noticed he was missing, and during a search of the home, they found the lid on the septic tank upside down.
Hawkins’ pacifier was floating in the water when they removed the lid.
The boy was recovered from the septic tank and CPR was started, but he was pronounced dead at Cherokee Medical Center.
“This is such a tragic event,” coroner Dennis Fowler said. “This family needs our prayers.”
The incident remains under investigation.

Someone went to a lot of trouble to destroy a hand-made display of orange hearts at Chilliwack Secondary School.
The display was created to honour residential school survivors and their families, as part of a Taking Action initiative undertaken by several high school students, according to Chilliwack Secondary teacher Rick Joe.
“We chose the fence at the front of the school so people passing by would see the hearts,” Joe recounted.
Now it’s clear some of the orange hearts were torched, some were snapped in two, maybe kicked, while others were ripped clean off the fence.
Each orange heart has a handwritten message on it like ‘Justice for the Children,’ ‘Every Child Matters’ or ‘Bring them Home.’
The idea was to raise awareness about the pernicious impacts of the Indian Residential School system, with the immediately recognizable colour orange – adopted for Orange Shirt Day to represent those children who never made it home.
The hand-scrawled messages encourage the public to reflect with kindness on the terrible history that allowed children to fall between the cracks of the often cruel system that was designed to “take the Indian out of the child” by erasing their culture, language and traditions.
The display had only been up for a couple weeks in March of this year when someone set fire to a garbage can at the edge of the tennis court a few feet from the hearts. It happened in the middle of the night on March 15, likely with the help of an accelerant since the flames could be seen on the security footage shooting up to the sky.
The footage shows a figure near the fence but they couldn’t positively identify anyone yet, and it’s not clear if they purposely meant to vandalize the display with the fire, or not. The fire scorched the fence to all the way to the top rail.
Toward the end of April another more direct hit by vandals was reported. Either an individual, or a group, directly vandalized the orange heart display this time.
“I noticed a heart was missing. And this time all the bottom hearts were torn off,” Joe said.
Shredded pieces of the smaller hearts lay on the ground.
Joe’s traditional name is Skalúlalus and he is member of the Lil’wat First Nation. He has family who attended Kamloops Indian Residential School where the 215 were discovered, and he attended day school himself.
“Anytime there is an attempt to raise awareness, it can stir up reactions,” the teacher noted. “People lash out.”
He knows from personal experience. At one point he found himself pre-emptively stripping his truck of anything that made it obvious he was Indigenous, like the small canoe paddle he once had hanging from his rear view with pride. After he did that, he noticed he didn’t suffer as many dings or scratches to his vehicle.
“Ever since the apology was issued from (former Prime Minister Stephen) Harper, we have made some progress,” Joe acknowledged.
The 2008 apology by Harper made on behalf of the Canadian government was meant to take responsibility for its role in the residential school debacle, and it came out just before the Truth and Reconciliation Commission began its work hammering out 94 recommendations.
“But we are still a long ways away,” Joe said. “This shows that locally we’re still in the truth-telling phase of truth and reconciliation.”
He does believe that overall Canadians were genuinely upset when the news of the first 215 unmarked graves in Kamloops came to light. There was a national shift.
“The whole country was sad.”
But only a fraction of the 139 residential schools have been searched, and there is much work left to do. The heart vandalism has left those involved with the project both disheartened and hurt.
Geralee George, a Grade 9 CSS student who made some of the hearts, said the damage made her very sad.
“It really shows that whoever did this does not support the ‘Every Child Matters’ idea at all,” George said.
It’s not clear why anyone would chose to try to destroy the display, or what possible reason there could be behind such mean-spirited destruction.
“People can hurt in different ways, and they reach out in different ways,” the teacher said.
The person, or persons, who did it could even be someone impacted by residential schools themselves, Joe said, through intergenerational trauma.
Possibly just seeing the display brought back too many memories.
“It is emotional, hard work. You never know. It could also be someone whose parents often say negative things toward Indigenous people and they were just following their family and teachings.”
Chilliwack School District staff, as well as Chilliwack Secondary staff, are still looking into the acts of mischief and vandalism.
“This is not over yet,” Joe said.
“Hopefully we find out who it was and talk to them.”

By Jamie Gardner, PA Chief Sports Reporter, Vienna
A new format has been approved for the Champions League after years of debate about the best way forward for the competition.
What has been agreed?
⚽ The #UEFAExCo has approved the final format and access list for UEFA club competitions from the 2024/25 season.
✅ No more access granted based on club coefficients.
✅ Eight matches instead of ten in the new league phase.
Full details: ⬇️#UCL #UEL #UECL— UEFA (@UEFA) May 10, 2022
The biggest changes to the Champions League in a generation, starting from the 2024-25 season. A 36-team league phase will replace the current 32-team group phase. Each team will play eight matches instead of the current six. They will play four home and four away, against eight different opponents under a seeded ‘Swiss system’.
The top eight in the league go straight to the last 16 knockout round as it is now – with the next 16 teams in the table entering a new play-off round for the remaining eight spots. In all, it means an increase in matches from 125 to 189.
If there are four extra qualifying places, who do these go to?
Two of them will go to clubs who have not qualified by the conventional route, but are the next-best finishers in the countries with the two best collective coefficient scores from the previous season. This score is calculated by awarding points for the performance of a country’s clubs in European competition. In four out of the last five seasons, this would have meant England gaining an extra place.
UEFA had previously proposed that these two places would be awarded based on an individual club’s coefficient score, based on performance over five seasons. This met with the approval of the European Club Association but was fiercely opposed by Europe’s domestic leagues and by fans’ groups, who said domestic performance alone should determine qualification and that it created a further safety net for the continent’s heavyweight clubs. It also created the possibility of big teams leapfrogging smaller teams who had finished above them into the top competition.
The third extra place in the new format goes to the team finishing third in the country ranked fifth in the UEFA country coefficient table – currently that is France. The fourth place would go to an additional domestic league winner via the champions qualification path.
Is this fair?
UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin believes that it promotes open competition and that it ensures qualification is based on sporting merit. However, the current coefficient system awards bonus points for group stage qualification, which means countries with the most automatic qualifying berths – like England and Spain – are at an advantage from the outset in the race for the extra places.
UEFA argues it is a balanced system, and points to the fact that under this system, Holland would hypothetically secure the second coefficient place in next season’s competition, based on this year’s European performance across all three continental tournaments.
What else is new?
The possibility – however unlikely – of some countries having seven qualifiers in the new league phase of the Champions League in a single season.
England could have the top four finishers in the Premier League, a coefficient place and have the winners of the previous season’s Champions League and Europa League, if these were seven different clubs.
Also, clashes between teams from the same country could happen earlier than they do currently – at the new play-off round instead of at the quarter-final stage.
Are two-leg semi-finals going to be dropped?
This had been reported, amid suggestions UEFA could opt for a ‘week of football’ in a single city after seeing the success of playing the last eight in a single venue in 2019-20, which was enforced by Covid.
However, UEFA is not planning to press ahead with this.
What reaction has there been?
The Premier League believes its two major concerns – the increase from six to 10 games and the historic coefficient places – have been addressed by the proposals, and that it reserves weekends for domestic football. It will now look at the detail of the proposals to ensure there is a complementary balance between European and domestic football in the calendar, with UEFA competitions set to be played in January for the first time under the new model.
Why has UEFA done this?
More matches means more money ultimately. Revenue in the 2024-27 cycle had been projected to increase by almost 40 per cent compared to 2021-24.
Where will this extra money go?
That is the next battleground. The domestic leagues and fan groups want solidarity payments to increase to avoid the gap between the richest and the poorest growing, while the top clubs believe their commercial pulling power should afford them a greater share. | https://www.echolive.ie/nationalsport/arid-40869848.html | 2022-05-10T21:43:37Z | https://www.echolive.ie/nationalsport/arid-40869848.html | true | 8 |

Election 2022: Questions and answers for 13th District candidates | The GOP gubernatorial field
Rule No. 1 of gun ownership in DeWitt County’s Brown residence: Keep any and all firearms in a safe place in the home.
Explains dad Travis, a Farmer City police sergeant: “Keep them out of reach from children — or anyone, for that matter. The gun owner should still have quick access to the firearm for protection, as well. I firmly believe — and made this a practice in my home — that gun owners should familiarize their family members, children and significant other so they are no longer curious or afraid of the firearms.”
Following that advice — and not keeping a gun in one’s unlocked car or unsecure kitchen drawer — would have prevented more than half of the 200-plus incidents of firearms reported stolen to area police last year.
Wrapping up our open records-generated review of every such report filed in 2021, here’s a look at what was told to Champaign police in the final seven months of last year, Part 24 of Editor JEFF D’ALESSIO‘s continuing series on gun violence.
JUNE 3: A woman returns from an overnight trip to Peoria to find the home she shares with her children in shambles — a bedroom mirror shattered, two TVs damaged and the ottoman where she keeps seven handguns left open, with no sign of the weapons.
The final inventory of items reported stolen is a lengthy one: four $100 bills taken from a clear plastic container, a PlayStation 4 from a child’s room, a jewelry box with a diamond ring, gold necklace and other valuables, and the seven guns — five Glocks, one Smith & Wesson and one Kel-Tec.
Asked by police who might be responsible, the woman says she has “no idea” and that no one else has a key to the home or knew she kept guns in her room.
JUNE 6: For the third time in 15 months, a man contacts Champaign police to report a stolen firearm.
In April 2020, it was a handgun. In November 2020, a safe with seven guns inside. This time, it’s a Freedom Ordnance FX-9 pistol, valued at $850 and said to be purchased from Rural King just two months earlier.
The man points police in the direction of a cousin, a convicted felon currently paroled to Springfield, who’d been to his Beardsley Avenue residence earlier.
Why him? The man says he was showing his cousin and two acquaintances firearms from his safe and while putting them back a short while later, he noticed one was missing, along with a 30-round Glock magazine.
The responding officer writes in his report: “When I tried to question (him) on why he would be letting someone he knows to be a felon on parole handle his firearms, he informed me that wasn’t as important as a known felon now having a firearm and being ‘on the run.’”
JUNE 14: A woman unpacking after a move from Memphis to Champaign realizes the Glock 19 9 mm handgun isn’t where she put it — in her “business boxes,” which she didn’t close and left unsecure.
As for the who, when and where, the woman says she can’t be sure they were involved but mentions to police that two friends of a cousin drove the truck here from Tennessee.
JUNE 17: Two Glock handguns are reported stolen overnight from a man’s Mercury Milan parked outside the Mattis North Apartments.
The man tells police he “believes the vehicle was left unlocked, as there was no forced entry.”
JUNE 21: In a case of she-said, she-said, a woman accuses her apartment mate of stealing her Tiffany blue SCCY handgun that she stored in the glovebox of the accused’s car.
The accused denies any involvement. The real story, she tells police, is that her roommate is acting out of jealousy after being told that she wasn’t interested in dating her while the two were vacationing in Las Vegas.
JULY 31: Reported stolen from the bedroom of a woman’s Summer Sage apartment: a purple Smith & Wesson M&P Shield .380 pistol, which her sister had left her to watch while she went out of town.
Accused of taking it: a 17-year-old male who’d been over for four hours the previous day and was now “ghosting her” on Facebook.
AUGUST 7: When a woman’s gun safe and the angel blue Smith & Wesson M&P Shield .380 pistol in it both go missing, a Champaign woman points the finger at her children’s father, who came by to visit earlier that day when she was on her way to work.
When confronted with the allegation, the man denies any involvement.
AUGUST 9: It’s hard for a 26-year-old Champaign man to pin down exactly when and where someone took from the glovebox of his Mitsubishi Outlander his Smith & Wesson SD9 handgun, given that he’d been to a chiropractor and three grocery stores in the time since he last saw it.
AUGUST 12: A woman tells a responding officer that she was in a hurry to catch her 7:30 Lyft ride that morning and couldn’t find her house keys, so she left her back sliding door unlocked.
When she returned later that afternoon, she says, the living room appeared to have been “rummaged through” and several items were missing.
Among them: children’s shoes, including a pair of white Nike Air Force 1s and pink Jordans, various pieces of jewelry and a Taurus brand pistol she believes to be a .40 caliber.
Who could be responsible? “(She) stated she has had neighborhood kids enter her apartment in the past and believed that could be the case again,” the officer writes.
AUGUST 25: It was raining hard when a woman pulled her Honda Accord into her driveway at 11:45 p.m. on a Tuesday night, so she’s not sure if she locked the car before running inside.
She wishes she had the next morning, when she says she finds her vehicle ransacked and two handguns inside it missing — her Ruger from the center console and her fiancé’s Smith & Wesson from the floor.
She has a valid concealed carry permit. He has a valid FOID card. The guns — both loaded — were in the car because they’d spent the weekend in Chicago and were concerned about “all the violence up there,” they tell police.
AUGUST 27: Sometime during her move from Champaign to Urbana, a woman’s Taurus Spectrum .380 pistol goes missing.
The responding officer is given little to go on, writing in his report: “(She) advised that she has not seen the firearm in months and states the gun was in the original box with ammunition.”
SEPTEMBER 1: Just 10 days after purchasing a black Taurus G3c handgun and putting it in the trunk of her 2008 Toyota Prius, a woman reports it stolen.
The responding officer writes in his report: “(She) believes she has a malfunction with her locking mechanism for her car.”
SEPTEMBER 2: A woman says she wants to “do the right thing” in reporting two guns stolen from her home. But she refuses to give a responding officer the names of her son’s two aunts, who were staying at her apartment while she was out of town.
When she confronts the two women about the items that went missing the one night she was away — two handguns, a full box of ammo and an Apple watch with a pink Louis Vuitton band — they become “very agitated and argumentative.”
The incident happened five weeks ago. The woman said she originally called to report it three weeks earlier but was just getting around to responding to a CPD officer’s voicemail.
SEPTEMBER 9: A man insists to police that his fully loaded SAR9 pistol was in the glovebox of his Nissan Maxima when he drove it home from work — at Garden Hills Elementary School — and security footage from the Champaign Park Apartments appears to support his story.
After watching video, the responding officer reports seeing a White or mixed-race male wearing a black balaclava over his face going from car to car and taking something from the Maxima that he puts in his waistband before scurrying away.
SEPTEMBER 13: A Rantoul woman reports her Glock 19 stolen from the trunk of her unlocked car while visiting her aunt’s home on Champaign’s Paula Drive.
But when the responding officer contacts the homeowner of the address provided, a man says he doesn’t know anyone by the name of the woman who filed the report.
When reached by phone and presented with this information, the woman gives another address — and now says she isn’t sure whether the gun was stolen in Champaign or Rantoul.
The officer writes in his report: “(She) was stumbling through her statement and changed her story a number of times. During the phone call, it appeared that (she) placed me on mute to consult with someone before providing answers to my questions. I asked (her) if she sold the firearm or let someone borrow the firearm and she could not provide a straight answer.”
OCTOBER 2: An officer is dispatched to Sherwood Court for a report of a domestic involving a man who accused his newlywed of being pregnant with his cousin’s child.
What starts as a loud argument turns violent, the woman tells police, with the husband throwing a phone at her, then striking her in the face three times.
After her daughter calls police, he takes off — with his wife’s Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 9 mm pistol. A search for the man is unsuccessful.
OCTOBER 3: A patrol officer responding to a stolen firearm report is dispatched to a Champaign apartment complex, where he’s told the following story:
A woman and an acquaintance are sitting on the porch drinking alcohol. She is carrying her Ruger EC9s 9 mm handgun in her waistband, as she does regularly after nearly being shot herself during a homicide at the complex months earlier.
She goes inside to use the restroom and leaves her gun on the chair she’s sitting on, figuring her acquaintance would watch it.
She’s inside for three minutes, tops. At some point during that time, the acquaintance also goes inside, leaving the gun on the chair.
When they return, the gun is gone.
“It should be noted: the firearm was left unattended, in plain view on a porch with open access to anyone on foot,” the officer writes in his incident report.
OCTOBER 12: A woman says she’s unsure if she locked her apartment before leaving for California for five days. But she is certain she didn’t leave it in the messy state she found it in when she returned from vacation.
She’s unable to provide police with any leads as to who could have taken the Glock 17 Gen5 9 mm pistol she kept inside a fur basket beside her bed.
OCTOBER 25: A man tells police he believes his Jeep Wrangler was secured when he parked it on the lower level of an underground garage on East Green Street.
But responding officers report no signs of forced entry to account for how someone stole from the center console a Glock 26 9 mm handgun.
The man says only he and his father knew about the gun.
NOVEMBER 8: While standing in his driveway trying to describe to a responding officer the Walther PPK .380 pistol stolen from the center console of his Ford Expedition, a man pulls another handgun from the front pocket of his sweatshirt and says something to the effect of: It looks like this.
Flabbergasted, the officer seizes the gun, unloads it and places it in his squad car. He later writes in his report: “I asked (him) why he thought it was a good idea to produce a loaded handgun within a couple feet of a police officer. He apologized and said he has cancer and is going through his fourth round of radiation and he doesn’t feel well or think clearly.
“… Due to him leaving a loaded firearm in a likely unlocked vehicle, and his action of producing a loaded handgun in my presence, I later completed an Illinois State Police form requesting the revocation of his (concealed-carry) and FOID permits. (His) admission of not thinking clearly leads me to believe he cannot safely possess firearms at this time.”
NOVEMBER 22: When a woman goes looking for her Glock 17 9 mm handgun to take to the shooting range, it’s nowhere to be found in her Champaign apartment.
It must be the work of her ex-boyfriend, she tells police, given that he’s the only one who knows where she hid it.
NOVEMBER 26: A woman reports her Taurus G2c handgun and 15-round magazine stolen from the unlocked vehicle parked outside her Elm Street residence.
The woman tells police she stores “many things” in her vehicle, which hasn’t been operational since summertime. It wouldn’t be hard to get inside, given that the driver’s side window no longer rolls up and has been covered with a plastic sheet.
DECEMBER 4: A Champaign man reports that the Kia Optima he and his wife both drive “may have accidentally been left unlocked” in their apartment parking lot when it was burglarized overnight.
Reported missing: his Smith & Wesson .40 handgun, kept in the center console, and her black UGG purse, which had in it 10 credit cards and her check book.
No suspects are identified.
DECEMBER 19: Feeling blue after his girlfriend broke up with him a week before Christmas, a man reaches out to “an old drinking buddy” for companionship and cold ones.
According to accounts given to police by both men, here’s the sequence of events that leads to the area’s biggest reported gun heist of 2021:
The man’s old friend picks him up at his apartment and takes him to his home, where he proceeds to show him the small arsenal’s worth of guns he owns, pulled from unsecured kitchen cabinets and a back bedroom.
There are 11 at least, maybe more, ranging from a Colt .45 to a pair of 1897 Winchester shotguns.
They decide to head out for drinks — at Pipa’s, then One T’s Corner Pocket, then Pia’s — followed by a quick stop at a Thornton’s convenient store for more beer, then back to the Champaign Park Apartments, home to the man whose girlfriend broke up with him. It’s around 12:15 p.m.
The friend with the gun collection crashes on the couch for a few hours and awakes at 3 a.m., realizing he needs to get home for his dog. When he goes looking for the friend who lives there, he can’t find him — until a few minutes later, when he walks through the door wearing all-black clothing, different from the outfit he had on hours earlier.
The friend with the guns drives back home, arriving around 3:30 a.m. It doesn’t take long to see what’s happened. The back door and a bathroom window are both broken, and the $8,100 worth of guns he’d shown his friend are all gone.
He’s been had, he tells police, and points the finger at his old drinking buddy.
Later that day, three CPD officers go to the accused’s apartment to get his side of the story. He tells them that he never went back to the gun owner’s home, that he was only gone for a few minutes while taking his own dog for a walk. He denies knowing anything about a burglary and allows officers to search his place. They find no stolen guns.
Before they leave, the officers receive word from METCAD that the man they’re talking to has an active Cook County warrant for contempt of court. He’s handcuffed, searched and placed in the back of a squad car.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Argentina on Tuesday joined a growing list of countries trying to woo remote workers by implementing a temporary visa targeted at digital nomads, who can work anywhere in the world as long as they have a good internet connection.
Interior Minister Wado de Pedro said the government hopes the new visa will help the country bring in much-needed hard currency by attracting people interested in working temporarily in Argentina.
Those workers will “live the Argentine experience and return to their countries being the main salespeople of this beautiful country,” he said.
Digital nomads usually have a higher purchasing power and spend an average of around $3,000 a month, which is double what a regular tourist might spend, said Florencia Carignano, the national director for migration.
“We want to attract people who after the pandemic changed their mentality and now prioritize their freedom, want to visit new places and enjoy life in a different way,” she said. “The pandemic accelerated a trend that was already happening.”
Argentina will become the second country in South America to officially launch a visa targeting remote workers. Neighboring Brazil did so earlier this year.
“We know there are around 40 million people around the world who are digital nomads,” Carignano said.
The new visa will be valid for six months and can be renewed once, compared to a maximum of a three-month stay for a regular tourist visa. It will also provide a series of benefits, including discounts on flights with state-owned airline Aerolíneas Argentinas.
Only citizens of countries that do not require a tourist visa to enter Argentina will be eligible to apply. Applicants will have to submit a resume and a document that proves their work relationship with at least one employer.
Dozens of countries around the world, including several Caribbean islands, have launched programs to woo digital workers in part to make up for the shortfall in tourism as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We were waiting for this decision by the government as it will undoubtedly have an impact on the city,” said Fernando Straface, international relations secretary for the city of Buenos Aires.
Argentina’s capital has been particularly active in trying to get remote workers to move to Buenos Aires, touting its solid infrastructure and the relative weak value of the local currency.
“We are an ideal destination for digital nomads because of the quality and cost of living,” Straface said. “Buenos Aires has consolidated its global reputation as a the leading city in the region to live, study and work.” | https://www.middletownpress.com/news/article/Argentina-hoping-to-entice-remote-workers-with-17163393.php | 2022-05-10T21:50:51Z | https://www.middletownpress.com/news/article/Argentina-hoping-to-entice-remote-workers-with-17163393.php | false | 20 |
‘Succession’ star glues hand to Starbucks counter in protest
NEW YORK (AP) — Actor and activist James Cromwell has gone from “Succession’s” Uncle Ewan to real-life supergluin’ — pasting his hand to a midtown Manhattan Starbucks counter on Tuesday to protest the coffee chain’s extra charge for plant-based milk.
The 82-year-old Oscar nominee, known for “Babe: Pig in the City” and “L.A. Confidential,” channeled his role as the crotchety, anti-capitalist brother of a billionaire media mogul for the protest organized by the animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
Cromwell sat on the Starbucks counter wearing a “Free the Animals” T-shirt and read a statement denouncing the surcharge for vegan milk alternatives.
“When will you stop raking in huge profits while customers, animals and the environment suffer?” he demanded as fellow activists streamed the protest on Facebook.
Cromwell glued his hand to the counter, then later used a knife to scrape it off. Police said there were no arrests.
Starbucks outlets in the United States charge 50 cents to a dollar more for drinks made with plant-based milks.
“Customers can customize any beverage on the menu with a non-dairy milk, including soymilk, coconutmilk, almondmilk, and oatmilk for an additional cost (similar to other beverage customizations such as an additional espresso shot or syrup),” a Starbucks spokesperson said in a statement. “Pricing varies market by market.”
The spokesperson said Starbucks respects customers’ right to voice their opinions “so long as it does not disrupt our store operations.”
Cromwell, nominated for an Academy Award for his role as the farmer in “Babe,” is a veteran protester who was charged with trespassing in 2017 for interrupting an orca show at SeaWorld in San Diego.

Roe v. Wade will impact voters at the midterms—but not how you think
The Supreme Court draft arguing for the reversal of Roe v. Wade , which would end the federal right to abortion, will be a hot-button issue at the midterm elections. Within hours of the draft’s leak, Democrats declared that abortion rights will power their message at elections up and down the country, hoping to compel their base to support pro-choice candidates.
“There are few things as monumental as a federal ban on the right to control your own body that will get women to the polls,” Sonia Ossorio, President of NOW New York , told The Post. “This will be a huge galvanizing moment.”
But while fiery pro-choice protests erupted across the nation this week, it’s unclear whether that passion will last all the way to the midterms in November — particularly in key races in battleground states like Georgia and Texas. “My sense is that voters don’t want an extended debate on abortion for the next six months,” said Jessica Anderson, executive director of conservative lobby group Heritage Action.
Top Republican pollster Wes Anderson agreed: “Inflation, immigration and crime, this is what the vast majority of Democratic, Republican and independent voters are focused on.” And though most analysts agree that the Democratic base will stay energized, moderate and independent voters — who often hold conflicting views on abortion – remain major wild-cards.
Here are the key constituencies likely to turn out at the polls over abortion, according to the experts, and some of their findings may surprise you…
Younger VotersAccording to The Pew Research Center, 59% of all Americans believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases, but that number jumps to 67% among the 18-29 age group — the highest of any age cohort. And young voters, many of them becoming legal voters for the first time this year, are likely to support Democratic, pro-choice candidates, experts said.
Still, cracks are beginning to show among young Americans, said pollster Anderson, partly because of technology. Digital imagery during pregnancy, including both sonograms and more newly-popular 3D-sonograms — which allow patients to see a “photo” of the fetus — are impacting how younger people view pregnancy, he said. “Medical science has changed the lexicon around ‘viability.’ With tools like 3D sonograms, the debate is no longer around a ‘clump of cells’. More Americans now know that this is a baby” – including younger Americans typically at the forefront of embracing new technologies, he said.
Meanwhile, because abortion restrictions already exist in many states like Texas – where abortion is only legal through the sixth week of pregnancy – many younger voters have already grown up in a “post-Roe world,” said NOW’s Ossorio. Some experts predict the specter of losing federal abortion rights is unlikely to lure many young voters to the polls in states when their rights have already been restricted.
WomenNon-Christian women are most likely to flood the polls over the threat of Roe v. Wade being overturned, experts said. “This is going to impact and galvanize every demographic for women,” says NOW’s Ossorio. “It will focus young women on the realization that our rights have not been secured, while older women and retirees will be the first in line at the polls because they have the historic perspective of knowing what it means when women cannot control their bodies.”
But conservative, religious women could be equally galvanized, helping boost support for GOP candidates. “This could be a real driver in the suburbs,” thwarting “a Democratic strategy that is really quite flawed,” said Anderson of Heritage Action. Republican pollster Anderson agrees, adding that women living in heavily rural and Evangelical communities could also be energized to vote even more Republican. And while women support abortion at greater numbers than men – 62% vs. 56%, according to Pew Research data — “women who’ve called themselves ‘pro-choice’ early in their lives are often far less likely to support abortion as they grow older,” he said. “It’s not that they’re suddenly becoming hard-core pro-lifers,” he added. “They simply become more indifferent.”
Women’s advocacy groups such as Emily’s List, the Planned Parenthood Action Fund and NARAL Pro-Choice America had earmarked $150 million for the November midterms even before the Supreme Court leak. The money is being targeted across offices up and down the ballot in nine key states: Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, California, Kansas and Wisconsin. Progressive pollsters believe pro-choice candidates will have an edge with women come November. “Even though the attacks on abortion are nothing new, stripping people of a constitutional right will incite anger and electoral momentum,” said Political Director Marcela Mulholland at Data for Progress. “This will certainly have an impact in blue, red and purple states.”
African AmericansBlack women comprise 13% of the US population, but accounted for nearly 40% of all abortions nationwide in 2019 . Perhaps as a result, African-Americans are strongly in favor of abortion rights – with 54% favoring legalized abortion compared to 38% against, according to Gallup Director of US Social Research Lydia Saad.
And pro-choice African-American advocacy groups were among the first to decry the Supreme Court’s draft decision.
“As black women, our fight has always been — and continues to be — about the human right to control our body, our work and our community,” said Marcela Howell , president and CEO of In Our Own Voice: National Black Women’s Reproductive Justice Agenda in a statement. “The high court’s ruling will declare open season on women’s rights and lives.”
But how these beliefs will translate at the ballot box is not entirely clear. “Black women are one segment that could become energized by this debate” and improve Democratic outcomes, pollster Anderson said, but there simply aren’t enough black female voters to dramatically shift any election outcomes. What’s more, support for abortion tends to ebb among less urban, educated and affluent black women. “Most importantly,” Anderson added, “we don’t see much evidence that abortion is a key issue for African-American men. They appear to have the least to say about it.”
The crucial senate race in Georgia features a pair of African-American candidates – incumbent Democrat Raphael Warnock, 52, versus Republican upstart and former NFL star Herschel Walker, 60. Warnock, an ordained minister, supports abortion rights, describing himself earlier this week as a “pro-choice pastor,” a move that was swiftly slammed by Christian and conservative groups. Walker, meanwhile, is vocally anti-abortion and has secured endorsements from leading pro-life organizations.
Although black female voters held outsized sway in the 2020 presidential election, helping put Joe Biden in the White House, their influence in this senate race is uncertain, particularly with two black men running for office. “Some 30% of blacks in Georgia are from rural counties and they’re far less supportive of abortion than blacks in Atlanta,” pollster Anderson said. “Abortion could boost Democrats in urban areas, but could also have the opposite effect the further you get from city centers.”
HispanicsHispanic voters are the least pro-choice of any major US demographic, with 56% calling themselves pro-life and 40% pro-choice, according to Gallup . “If I was on the Democratic side looking in, I would certainly be concerned about Hispanics not being activated” by the Supreme Court draft decision, Gallup’s Saad said. “This is an issue that simply does not push their buttons the way it pushes the buttons of other (traditional Democrats).” As pollster Anderson sees it, “I doubt abortion will be a significant issue for Hispanics.”
In fact, the potential reversal of Roe v. Wade could energize Hispanics to vote more heavily for Republican candidates. Already Latino voters — many of whom are Catholic — are trending conservative. One of the biggest surprises of the 2020 presidential election was the loss of Hispanic support for Democrats in key battleground states such as Florida and Texas . Although Biden won the overall Latino vote in both states, Trump saw an 11-point gain among Hispanics in Florida, while Texas’ once mightily Democratic Rio Grande Valley region saw major Republican surges. Two counties in particular illustrate this trend: In the 2020 presidential election, Joe Biden won Hidalgo County , home to the heavily Hispanic city of McAllen, by 17% compared to a 40% win by Hillary Clinton in 2016. In Zapata County, meanwhile, Trump won outright by 5% — a stunning reversal in a district Clinton took by 33% in 2016 and Obama by 43% in 2012.
This shift will be put to the test on May 24 in Texas’ heavily Hispanic 28th District, where a run-off election pits two Latino Democrats — pro-choice human-rights lawyer Jessica Cisneros, 28, and pro-life incumbent Henry Cuellar, 66 — against each other.
In the wake of the Roe v. Wade leak, Cisneros has amped up her attacks on Cuellar for his anti-abortion beliefs. Despite being the only House Democrat to vote against the Women’s Health Protection Act last year, he still retains the support of Democratic leaders like Nancy Pelosi.
“As the Supreme Court prepares to overturn Roe v. Wade, I am calling on Democratic Party leadership to withdraw their support of Henry Cuellar who is the last anti-choice Democrat in the House,” Cisneros said in a statement Wednesday, adding: “with the House majority on the line, he could very much be the deciding vote on the future of our reproductive rights and we cannot afford to take that risk.”
But with voters in this heavily Latino district more religious and conservative than the overall Democratic base, Cuellar’s anti-abortion status could actually work in his favor. Whatever happens, this race “will test the party’s willingness to keep an anti-abortion congressman in office,” Mulholland said. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2595522817906/roe-v-wade-will-impact-voters-at-the-midterms-but-not-how-you-think | 2022-05-10T21:52:26Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2595522817906/roe-v-wade-will-impact-voters-at-the-midterms-but-not-how-you-think | false | 2 |
Foldable screens transitioned from being a pipe dream to an actual product in 2019 with the launch of Samsung's original Galaxy Fold. In 2020, the company unveiled an all-new form factor with the Galaxy Z Flip, and successive models have proved it's not just a fleeting gimmick. While the Flip and Fold series currently headline Samsung's foldable efforts — and some of the best phones around — that doesn't necessarily mean its Display division hasn't been looking at more form factors. With the return of Display Week's live exhibitions this year, it's the perfect time to show off some of those futuristic concepts.
Samsung Display has a booth at Display Week 2022, currently being held in San Jose, California, where it's showing off a bunch of interesting display innovations that could give us a preview of your next folding phone. Among them are flexible displays, including the Flex G and Flex S concepts, last shown off at CES 2022. They're both tri-folding panels and work for both compact smartphones and tablet-sized devices, with the former folding inward twice and the latter folding both inward and outward. A concept video provided by the company previews exactly how you would use these displays.
In the video, we can also see some of the other designs Samsung is working on. A 6.7-inch slidable — in other words, a rollable panel —upward-expanding design is a highlight here, which Samsung says it's great for document work and social media. Another slidable unit is an 8.1-inch screen that can expand horizontally from both sides and grow to 12.4 inches.
In its press release, Samsung also talks about a "Gaming Foldable OLED" that lets the user attach controllers to each side of the display and a "Digital Cockpit" for the automotive sector that's available in sizes ranging from 7 inches to 15.4 inches. One thing's certain — Samsung is betting on a future where everyone's displays will fold, and it wants to be at the forefront of that.
Like the prototypes shown at CES 2022, these displays aren't part of any product in Samsung's roadmap yet, but that could always change in the future. Who knows — the Galaxy Fold once seemed like a futuristic, far-off concept too. | https://www.androidpolice.com/samsung-display-awesome-foldable-concepts/ | 2022-05-10T21:55:23Z | https://www.androidpolice.com/samsung-display-awesome-foldable-concepts/ | true | 1 |
The rate at which Americans were killed in gun homicides leapt by nearly 35% in 2020 to the highest level in more than 25 years, according to new research by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Amid the pandemic and recession that followed, gun homicide rates grew most among groups that were already at higher risk, researchers found — including people in poor areas, young men, and Black people.
In 2020, the firearm homicide rate was 6.1 per 100,000 Americans — up from 4.6 a year earlier.
"These findings underscore the importance of comprehensive approaches that can stop violence now and prevent future deaths," said Dr. Debra Houry, the acting principal deputy director of the CDC.
No group was affected more than Black people, who die by firearm homicides at a rate far higher than any other racial or ethnic group.
Black men and boys aged 10 to 24 died by gun homicide more than 21 times as often as white males in the same age groups, the report found.
Worse, 2020 widened the gap between Black people and other groups: The rate of firearm homicides among non-Hispanic Black people rose by 7.5 percentage points, an increase more than four times larger than any other.
"We're losing too many of our nation's children and young people — specifically Black boys and young Black men," Houry said.
More than 19,000 homicides in 2020 involved a firearm — an increase of nearly 5,000 from 2019.
The findings follow statistics published last fall by the CDC and FBI showing that the U.S. saw an unprecedented spike in murders in 2020, a jump of nearly 30% over 2019.
One possible explanation for the leap was stressors related to the COVID-19 pandemic, such as "changes and disruptions to services and education, social isolation, economic stressors such as job loss, housing instability and difficulty covering daily expenses," said Thomas Simon, the associate director for science at the CDC's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control.
Deaths by gun have long been linked to economic factors like income inequality, unemployment and housing instability.
"When you look at the pandemic, things like job loss, economic stressors, social isolation — these were already hard hit communities," Houry said.
Even as the number of gun homicides rose dramatically, most deaths caused by guns in the U.S. remained suicides, researchers said.
The rate of suicides using a firearm — about 8 per 100,000 Americans — stayed roughly steady in 2020, a trend that has held for several years.
But that finding comes as suicide rates overall trended down in 2020, said Mike Anestis, a professor at Rutgers University and the executive director of the New Jersey Gun Violence Research Center.
He pointed to the record gun sales during the pandemic as one likely factor. More than 20 million guns were sold in 2020, up from 12.4 million sold in 2019.
"I think the understated point in this paper is that the shift in demographics of firearm ownership and the surge in firearm ownership likely played a role in that," Anestis said.
The overall proportion of homicides and suicides caused by firearms also ticked up, researchers noted. In 2020, 79% of all homicides and 53% of suicides involved guns — both numbers several percentage points higher than in preceding years.
"Both are unacceptably high when you look at the number of people that die from homicide or suicide in the U.S. We've got to do something about this because it's preventable. These deaths are preventable," Houry said.
If you or someone you know may be considering suicide, contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 (En Español: 1-888-628-9454; Deaf and Hard of Hearing: 1-800-799-4889) or the Crisis Text Line by texting HOME to 741741.

The lightweight fight between Donald Cerrone and Joe Lauzon has been rebooked for the upcoming UFC Fight Night card in Austin, Texas, on June 18.
Multiple people with knowledge of the promotion’s plans confirmed the news to MMA Fighting on Tuesday with verbal agreements in place from the athletes. ESPN.com initially reported the news.
Cerrone and Lauzon were scheduled to clash this past Saturday night at UFC 274 but the bout was scratched just hours before it was set to take place. The cancellation came after Cerrone contracted food poisoning that caused him to vomit and left him unable to keep any food in his system. Eventually, he was forced to withdraw from the card.
Cerrone issued a statement afterward explaining his desire to rebook the fight with Lauzon while also targeting two more bouts before retirement.
“I have 48 fights under Zuffa,” he said. “I’m saddened that I couldn’t have my 49th and put on a show for you all. My number is 50, gentlemen. I’ll retire when I get 50. So I got two more fights in the UFC. So thank you Dana White, thank you Joe Lauzon for not taking that fight with an ill, sick Cowboy. You want a strong, healthy, bad motherf*****.
“So we’ll meet again. Like I said, Cowboy’s got two more fights left under Zuffa. I want 50 fights then I’m bowing out, I’m out of here, boys. I’ll be back stronger than ever ready to take on the world. Let’s go.”
Cerrone got his wish with the fight against Lauzon now scheduled for the upcoming card in Austin, which is headlined by a featherweight fight between Calvin Kattar and Josh Emmett. | https://www.mmafighting.com/2022/5/10/23065835/donald-cowboy-cerrone-vs-joe-lauzon-rebooked-for-ufc-austin-on-june-18 | 2022-05-10T22:00:55Z | https://www.mmafighting.com/2022/5/10/23065835/donald-cowboy-cerrone-vs-joe-lauzon-rebooked-for-ufc-austin-on-june-18 | true | 1 |
Jerry Hughes signing with Texans

The Texans are bringing in some veteran depth for their defensive line.
Jerry Hughes is signing with Houston, according to multiple reports. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Hughes has spent his last nine seasons with the Bills, starting 16 of the team’s 17 games in 2021. Playing 52 percent of Buffalo’s defensive snaps, he recorded 18 total tackles, with one tackle for loss, seven QB hits, and 2.0 sacks. He also had three passes defensed and a pair of forced fumbles.

"Definitely disappointed with how today went. But I guess I wanted to give it a try. I never really knew how bad it was until I kind of went out there," Raducanu told reporters.
"I'm still learning when it's right to push my body and push through it, and when it's not. I guess that's something I'm learning at these tournaments.
"After Madrid I thought that maybe taking one, two days off, it would just go away because a lot of the other small niggles I've had, they've kind of gone away after taking two days off."
Madrid Open runner-up Jessica Pegula, meanwhile, rallied past Liudmila Samsonova 4-6, 6-3, 6-4.
American qualifiers Madison Brengle and Lauren Davis both advanced in straight sets in the event seen as a final warm-up for the French Open. Brengle beat fellow qualifier Marta Kostyuk 6-4, 6-3 and Davis defeated 2017 French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko 6-2, 6-3.
Amanda Anisimova, another American and a French Open semifinalist in 2019, held off Czech qualifier Tereza Martincova 6-2, 0-6, 6-4 and will next play Olympic gold medalist Belinda Bencic.
Sloane Stephens, the 2017 US Open champion, was beaten 6-1, 6-2 by Ekaterina Alexandrova.

Some parking fines rising by 300% in Sault Ste. Marie on June 1
In the first increase in more than 30 years, some parking and other fines in Sault Ste. Marie are increasing by 300 per cent, the city said Tuesday.
But anyone who pays the fine promptly will have the amount reduced by one-third, the city said in a news release.
As of June 1, parking at an expired meter will lead to a $30 ticket, up from $10. Parking on the street overnight during winter will lead to a $50 fine, up from $15, while parking in a fire route will cost violators a $60 fine, up from $25.
A full list of the new fees can be found here.
"Parking fines in Sault Ste. Marie are (lower) by an average of 50 per cent in comparison to municipalities of like size and structure, with the last fine increase occurring in 1984 and 1989," the city said in the news release.
"By increasing the rate of penalty fees, fines serve as a deterrent to illegal parking, address public safety concerns and brings the City of Sault Ste. Marie in line with other municipalities."
Parking fines are structured based on the level of public safety concerns related to the event, the city said. Expired meters are among the lower penalties and fines related to impeding traffic or safety to the public are higher.
"Although an immediate increase in fines may appear to be financially challenging for some, an early voluntary payment option, not currently part of Sault Ste. Marie’s system, will act as an incentive to have offenders make a payment within seven days of the offence," the city said.
"Paying early allows the offender to receive up to a one-third reduction in the fine amount. It will also reduce contested matters before the court and reduce collection costs."
Increased fines and an early voluntary payment program should yield a neutral effect when factoring in the desire for increased enforcement to alleviate concerns.
"The city also encourages the public to use the Passport Parking Canada mobile payment option," the release said.
"Over 1,300 users have adopted this convenient payment method since its launch in 2019. Passport Parking Canada allows drivers in Sault Ste. Marie to pay for metered street parking and city-run lots using their smartphone." | https://www.iheartradio.ca/ctv-news-content/some-parking-fines-rising-by-300-in-sault-ste-marie-on-june-1-1.17760905 | 2022-05-10T22:25:35Z | https://www.iheartradio.ca/ctv-news-content/some-parking-fines-rising-by-300-in-sault-ste-marie-on-june-1-1.17760905 | true | 1 |

Dierks Bentley and Elle King are taking a “Shot.”
After performing their new song, “Worth a Shot,” together live during Elle’s headlining show at the Ryman Auditorium in March, the singers are now officially releasing it to the masses on Friday. They shared the news via a candid singing session on Instagram where they recite the tongue-twisting chorus together.
“Might be at the bottom of an empty glass/Don’t know if the whiskey can fix it or not/But baby it’s worth a shot,” they chant in unison, sharing a laugh at the end of the video.
“Hey @DierksBentley…wanna release a song this Friday??” Elle teases on Twitter with the hashtag, #WorthAShot. “Hey Elle… I’m down, let’s do it..!” Dierks responds.
The duet partners seemingly have a recipe for success: their last collaboration, “Different for Girls,” went #1 on the country charts in 2016.

Comparing 55-inch smart TVs
Today’s 4K TVs perform better and cost less than ever before. There are also more options to wade through than in recent years, which can make it difficult to find the right one for your space. This is partly because 55 inches is by far the most popular size, and nearly every single family of TV starts there and works its way up.
You’ll want to look for different features and protocols in your new TV, depending on what kind of content you like to watch, whether you stream media or collect discs, and if you like to play games. To the delight of most consumers, you don’t necessarily have to spring for the most expensive TV you find just to get excellent picture quality and video playback.
Why get a 55-inch TV?
Most people sit six to eight feet from their TV. At that distance, a 55-inch TV provides a good balance between seeing the most minute details and having a wide field of view. You won’t be able to make out individual pixels from six to eight feet away at a 4K resolution. If you’re sitting closer to six feet away, you will get the immersive cinematic experience that directors aim to provide.
LCD vs. OLED TVs
LCD and OLED are two significantly different types of LED technologies. LCD panels rely on a single backlight (sometimes with multiple separate zones) that passes light through a matrix of what’s called liquid crystal. The TV’s internal controller tells each pixel of liquid crystal how much light to let through. A set of color filters then process the light that does pass through the LCD matrix, resulting in the colors you see on-screen.
OLED panels eliminate the overarching backlight, instead using an array of pixels that each produce their own light. These self-illuminating pixels then pass light through a set of filters, again resulting in a colorful onscreen image.
LCD panels can get brighter than OLEDs, while OLED panels produce notable deeper blacks. You can also view OLED TVs from much wider angles without colors distorting or washing out. OLEDs generally have a remarkably wide color gamut, although some high-end techniques bring LCD color production to nearly the same level. The biggest drawback to OLED TVs is that they’re usually more expensive than LCDs.
What is high dynamic range?
HDR is one of today’s most popular TV buzzwords. When viewing standard dynamic range content, a TV’s brightness and contrast profiles remain the same from start to finish. HDR content, however, sees the brightness of certain screen areas change in order to bring out subtle highlights in dark scenes and bold highlights in bright scenes.
There are a handful of specifications to pay attention to if you want the best possible HDR performance.
Peak brightness
How bright a TV gets directly determines how well it brings out highlights in bright scenes. Premium LCD TVs from manufacturers such as Samsung and Sony tend to have great brightness measurements.
OLED TVs, on the other hand, have struggled to reach the same level of brightness. Only in the last couple of years have they begun to compete with LCDs in terms of performance in a well-lit room.
Local dimming
Despite what many budget TVs claim, you can’t have real HDR without local dimming. This is a technique that separates an LCD panel’s main backlight into anywhere from dozens to hundreds of individual sections, each of which can dim on its own. Full-array local dimming is a must-have for a true HDR experience on an LCD TV.
In contrast — no pun intended — OLED panels essentially represent the ultimate in local dimming because every single pixel can turn itself on and off at will.
Color gamut
This term simply refers to how many colors a panel can produce. It’s integral to the basic image quality of any TV. It’s also critical to advanced playback technologies such as high dynamic range.
Do I need HDMI 2.1?
The HDMI standard details how a video signal is transmitted from a source to a display. Unfortunately, the HDMI forum recently decided to completely abandon the HDMI 2.0 standard. The result is that a claim of HDMI 2.1 compatibility is almost meaningless in 2022 because manufacturers don’t necessarily have to meet any specific thresholds to make that claim. Nonetheless, there are some particular things to look for when evaluating the HDMI 2.1 support of any given TV.
High refresh rate
True HDMI 2.1 TVs support refresh rates of 120 hertz, meaning they can display up to 120 frames per second. You will need a high-end home theater setup, latest-generation gaming console, or recently released PC graphics card to take advantage of this high-speed display technology.
Enhanced Audio Return Channel
Audio Return Channel technology allows your TV to pass audio data backward to your AV receiver so you can get high-quality sound without running additional analog or optical cables. The Enhanced version that true HDMI 2.1 supports allows for high enough audio bandwidth to transmit high-bit rate audio such as uncompressed 7.1-channel surround sound and Dolby Atmos object-based sound.
Variable refresh rates
In addition to high refresh rates, gamers will appreciate the HDMI forum’s VRR implementation. VRR allows a TV to match its refresh rate to the frame rate of the incoming source video. This essentially eliminates screen tearing and greatly reduces jitter associated with mismatched refresh rates and frame rates.
Auto low latency mode
Another gaming-centric feature, ALLM detects gaming sources such as PC graphics cards or gaming consoles and adjusts its settings to reduce input lag significantly. Lower input lag means better response times in fast-paced games.
The best 55-inch TVs
The update to last year’s best OLED TV, LG’s C2 offers increased peak brightness and a wider color gamut in both standard and high dynamic range content. It also implements an improved operating system that allows for hands-free voice control and separate profiles for each household member.
Sold by Amazon
While it’s been supplanted by the 2022 C2, the C1 is still a fantastic TV in its own right, with perfect black levels, impressive dynamic contrast and impressive color accuracy. The biggest reason to get one, though, is that despite being nearly as good, it’s significantly more affordable than its replacement.
Sold by Amazon
Built around a top-of-the-line LG OLED panel, this high-end Sony is currently the best TV for watching movies due to powerful HDR support and peak brightness that outshines most other OLED models. It leverages novel technologies to mitigate burn-in risk and supports just about every advanced video protocol released, including Dolby Vision.
Sold by Amazon
Anyone who loves fast-paced video games but doesn’t want to break the bank should consider this supposedly entry-level option from Vizio. Despite its low price, it boasts high-performance features such as HDMI 2.1, 2,000-zone local dimming, and a remarkably low input lag of just 10 milliseconds.
Sold by Amazon
It combines most of Samsung’s cutting-edge and refined technologies to deliver a remarkably wide color gamut, excellent motion handling and some of the best cinematic performances home theaters have ever seen. While it is last year’s model, it’s considerably less expensive than its replacement and, in many cases, the local dimming and HDR actually work better.
Sold by Amazon
Far removed from its reputation as a solely budget-friendly manufacturer, Hisense now produces some of the most cost-effective LED TVs, and the U8G is one such example. Its 120-hertz refresh rate and quantum dot filtration combine to give it the precise motion handling and bold colors you’d expect from a far more expensive device.
Sold by Amazon
If you want to save money without sacrificing all the bells and whistles of a high-end TV, consider this affordable model from a tried-and-true manufacturer. It offers passable HDR performance using the HDR10+ and Dolby Vision protocols and sports the incredibly popular Roku TV operating system.
Sold by Amazon
There are few models in this price range that look as good with such a wide range of content, whether you’re watching sports, TV shows, or movies. Although said interface is somewhat riddled with ads, it offers great uniformity, surprisingly good black levels for an LCD TV and a powerful Android TV interface.
Sold by Amazon
It won’t win any awards for image quality or premium features, but this highly reliable, budget-friendly option looks good and runs on the powerful Google TV platform. It’s especially good for TV shows and sports, although its black levels leave a little to be desired when watching movies in a dark room.

INDEPENDENCE — Smithville’s Andrew Conrad continues to be one of the best golfers in the area as he finished at the top of the leaderboard of the Class 4 District 4 Championship.
The Warriors finished as a team in fifth place with a score of 366, which wasn’t enough to send the full team to state. But, Conrad was able to qualify individually along with Landin Neill at Drumm Farm on Monday, May 9.
Neill fired a round of 83, good enough for 11-over par. Neill ended the day in seventh place.
Conrad won the district tournament for the second year in a row with outstanding wedge play. He was able to convert from inside 100-yards often in the blustery wind and on the wet ground. Conrad shot a 76, 4-over, which was two shots better than the field.
The rest of the Smithville team were represented by Cole Matthews and Dillon Swehla. Matthews finished in 34th place with a round of 102 while Swehla ended the round with a 105.
The two-day state tournament will begin Monday, May 16, at the Meadow Lake Acres Country Club in New Bloomfield. | https://www.mycouriertribune.com/sports/boys_golf/conrad-claims-district-title-smithville-sends-2-to-state/article_f9170558-d019-11ec-a60f-eb81255bdcdc.html | 2022-05-10T22:39:22Z | https://www.mycouriertribune.com/sports/boys_golf/conrad-claims-district-title-smithville-sends-2-to-state/article_f9170558-d019-11ec-a60f-eb81255bdcdc.html | false | 1 |

The unveiling marks one year since the provincial government announced the certification.
“Ensuring the Legislative building is accessible to all visitors is part of our government’s commitment to creating a barrier-free Saskatchewan,” Social Services Minister Lori Carr said in a news release.
The Rick Hansen Foundation is a program that helps to identify physical barriers in public places or spaces and improve accessibility in communities across Canada.
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Saskatchewan delivered the accessibility assessment, inclusive of surveying and evaluating the accessibility renovations, and evaluated building renovations based on 10 different categories. Areas measured included vehicle access, exterior approach and entrance, interior circulation, interior services and environment, sanitary facilities, wayfinding and signage, emergency systems, additional use of space, residential units, and trail and pathways.
“It was exciting and rewarding to be part of this Pilot Project. SCI Sask is committed to enhancing accessibility in the built environment, as well as full inclusion in society for individuals living with disabilities,” Spinal Cord Injury Saskatchewan executive director Launel Scott said in the release.
The certification plaque will be installed and displayed in the hallway through the Prince of Wales Entrance of the Legislative Building.

GAFFNEY, S.C. (AP) — A toddler visiting with his family from New York died Tuesday after he apparently fell into a septic tank in South Carolina, authorities said.
The toddler, identified as 2-year-old Hawkins Abercrombie, of Calcium, New York, was pronounced dead when he arrived at the hospital, Cherokee County Coroner Dennis Fowler said.
Fowler said the child's mother noticed him missing while they visited with friends. During a search around the home, they noticed the lid on a septic tank was upside down.
“The mother, along with other people at the house, removed the lid and found a pacifier floating in the water. The boy was later discovered underwater,” Fowler said.
An investigation into the incident continues. An autopsy will be performed to determine a cause of death, he said.
“This is just a tragic event,” Fowler said. “This family needs our prayers.” | https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/Toddler-dies-after-apparently-falling-into-septic-17163316.php | 2022-05-10T22:47:11Z | https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/Toddler-dies-after-apparently-falling-into-septic-17163316.php | false | 19 |
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Richmond officials are seeking a court order to move the only remaining Confederate monument owned by the city.
The Richmond City Council voted unanimously Monday to direct the city administration to grant the statue of Confederate Gen. A.P. Hill to the Black History Museum and Cultural Center of Virginia, The Richmond Times-Dispatch reported.
The city took down its other Confederate monuments nearly two years ago and conveyed them to the museum earlier this year. But officials haven't been able to move forward with removing the Hill monument because the general is buried beneath it.
The city has been negotiating with descendants of Hill’s family to decide what should be done with his remains, which were moved to the monument in 1891, about 25 years after his death at the end of the Civil War.
The ordinance approved Monday specifies only that the remains will be removed and “reinterred respectfully” in accordance with a Circuit Court of Richmond order. | https://www.manisteenews.com/news/article/Richmond-seeks-to-move-last-city-owned-17163307.php | 2022-05-10T22:48:33Z | https://www.manisteenews.com/news/article/Richmond-seeks-to-move-last-city-owned-17163307.php | false | 22 |

With precious few hours remaining in the 2022 legislative session, Colorado Republicans are trying to stall as much of the legislative agenda as possible into oblivion.
This strategy is playing out mainly in the House, where the Republican caucus is divided between more traditional conservatives who are open to negotiating with Democrats and far-right conservatives who demonstrate less interest in passing policy than in obstructing it.
As of Monday morning, according to nonpartisan legislative staff, close to 250 bills remained in need of final action. Many of those were set to die, anyway, because they cost more than lawmakers want to spend — but many others are either bipartisan of core to the Democratic majority’s agenda this session, including bills to boost organized labor among government workers, limit police ability to lie to children, crack down on predatory vehicle towing, appropriate federal stimulus funds and address unhealthy air quality.
The session is set to close at the end of the day Wednesday, leaving lawmakers with fewer than 51 hours as the clock ticked past 9 p.m. Monday. This third-to-last day of the session was consumed largely by Republican delay tactics in the House — ordering bills to be read out loud, word-for-word; protesting bipartisan bills; and offering time-consuming amendments and speeches on bills they have no chance of defeating.
“Conservatives will push back by running out the clock on all the remaining bills that harm the citizens we are supposed to be serving,” vowed state Rep. Dave Williams, a Colorado Springs Republican and frequent obstructionist.
“We’re trying to grind things down,” said Republican state Rep. Rod Pelton of Cheyenne Wells.
This is a situation Democrats, who control both the state House and Senate, might have avoided. Save for a small handful, the majority of their big-ticket bills were not introduced until the back half of the 120-day session. The size of the outstanding bill roll hands the GOP more leverage than it expected this session, given it is far from power in both chambers of the legislature — not to mention every statewide constitutional office.
On Monday evening, the House Democrats’ assistant majority leader, Denver state Rep. Serena Gonzales-Gutierrez, said the GOP has been difficult to negotiate with. Often these delays can be stopped by a deal — those happen all the time for the much more cohesive Senate GOP — but the House Republicans are so divided that it’s hard to find consensus in the group. Several members have actively, repeatedly sought to undermine and indeed oust their caucus leader, Republican state Rep. Hugh McKean of Loveland.
“I don’t know what they’re doing, to be quite honest. I really don’t. I wish I did,” Gonzales-Gutierrez said.
She hesitated to place any blame on her own party for leaving so many bills until the final three days. Lawmakers have only worked on one weekend day all session, and Democrats notably declined to call members in this past weekend to make a dent in the remaining heap.
“This is just, unfortunately, how things landed. I don’t know that I could have predicted it. I don’t know that any of us could have predicted it,” she said.
After hours and hours of slow-moving procedure Monday, the House broke so that Republicans could meet to discuss a plan. They emerge from the meeting without one, said Delta state Rep. Matt Soper. He listed a series of bills he thinks his caucus hates most, including the organized-labor bill (SB22-230); the bill meant to stop police lying to children (SB22-23); and the Democrats’ bill meant to promote election security (SB22-153).
In that caucus meeting, members were split on how to proceed.
Akron Republican state Rep. Richard Holtorf said the caucus needs to fight for GOP values, and show they’re serious. But he warned against leaving the fight with nothing to show for it.
“My main concern is we push too hard, and we may lose any or all concessions,” Holtorf said.
Holtorf is no liberal — he dropped a gun in the Capitol this session and on Monday morning gave a speech suggesting it’s laudable when victims of racist violence don’t complain about it — but some in his caucus go even further right. Said the Fremont County Republican state Rep. Ron Hanks, an attendee of the U.S. Capitol riot of Jan. 6, 2021, “I appreciate that we’re working a negotiation process. I might suggest we look at this from the day and the week after. How much could we have killed, and how much could we tell the entire state that we left 50 bills on the table because we fought this? And these amendments, I’m concerned, aren’t going to be enough.
“I’ll just say this, if anyone wants to fight, I will make myself available.”
Said Soper, “I don’t want to just report back that we killed 50 bills. I want to be able to actually say that we killed or we amended the worst of the worst. Because if I go back and I say, well, guess what, that $10 million grant for rural hospitals that are going to help in (rural districts), yeah, I got that killed — that’s not really a good thing to report back.”
Democrats do have ways to fight back, though to this point they’ve not deployed them. They can limit debate and in some cases force votes. They can also reach deals to calm things down, and Senate President Steve Fenberg suggested they are open to that.
Fenberg, a Democrat from Boulder, said he’s “not the least bit concerned” about getting bills through by the end of Wednesday.
“Both sides have tools,” he said. “We’re not going to have important pieces of legislation die because of filibusters.”
His Senate colleague, Brittany Pettersen, a Lakewood Democrat, criticized the House GOP for its delays, which are likely to keep people bound to the Capitol late into the night this week, as they did last week.
“It’s very cruel to do to our nonpartisan staff,” she said. “It’s not because (Republicans) actually have questions. It’s just to sabotage.” | https://www.greeleytribune.com/2022/05/10/colorado-republicans-legislature-session-2022/ | 2022-05-10T22:57:39Z | https://www.greeleytribune.com/2022/05/10/colorado-republicans-legislature-session-2022/ | false | 5 |
'Everybody has to step up': Women's lacrosse at Northwestern ready for the regionals without its star player
CHICAGO (CBS) -- Kelly Amonte Hiller's Northwestern University squad set to try and win its first title since 2012.
The Wildcats earned the number four national seed this season and will host a regional on Friday in Evanston. As CBS 2's Matt Zahn explains, that's despite losing the best lacrosse player in the country to injury.
"I think we all kind of knew in our hearts just sank. 'Oh my god, did that really just happen?"
That's Lauren Gilbert talking about the moment teammate Izzy Scane went down with a season ending knee injury. Scane was a superstar for Northwestern's lacrosse team last year, leading the nation with over six goals a game last year. But the Wildcats would have to play this season without her.
"Everybody has to step up. That's what being part of a team is. Have to be ready to take on new role. With Isabel being such a prolific scorer and big player, we had to fill that role of leadership. Lauren and Jill have stepped up. (It's) been a collective effort as well," Hiller said.
"I've taken on a heavier load. Give a lot of credit to my teammates. You're not going to replace Izzy. She set records last year. She was an unprecedented player in women's lacrosse so you're not going to replace that with one person. But it's been a collective effort," Gilbert said.
It has been grad student Lauren Gilbert that's done the most stepping up. Her 63 goals lead the team and has her ranked in the top 10 nationally. It's been quite a journey for Gilbert, who has gone from a barely contributing freshman to a team leader.
"In my freshman year, I think I had a total of four points in the season. I really lost a lot of confidence in myself as a player. I definitely give a lot of credit to Kelly and family and this environment for pushing me in positions where I could do this," Gilbert added.
"See a player go from not much to becoming a confident superstar. Lauren Gilbert is a prime example of coming from a non-traditional. They come in and grow and learn, and also the mental side of the game, and be better. Have that confidence," Hiller said.
That is part of the reason the Cats have sustained success. And they're in position again to hopefully make another deep postseason run. They've been to the last two Final Fours, falling in the national semifinals each time.
"We're coming with a chip on our shoulder. I think you saw that against Syracuse. They beat us last year. They ended our perfect season. Just wanting it more," said Jillian Girardi, Midfielder and Northwestern graduate student.
"I think we have what it takes to beat any team," Gilbert said. "I think it's a just matter of us being disciplined to do it."
"We've had the same outcome the two years we've gone to the Final Four, so we just are ready to change the narrative," Girardi said, who said it there's a way to do it.
"Working our butts off."
The Wildcats will host Central Michigan at 4:00 p.m. Friday in the first round, followed by the Notre Dame and Michigan match. The second round match is Sunday.

Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist Bill Gates announced that he has tested positive for COVID-19.
The 66-year-old tech giant wrote in a tweet Tuesday that he is experiencing mild symptoms and is "following the experts' advice" by isolating himself until he's healthy.
"I'm fortunate to be vaccinated and boosted and have access to testing and great medical care," Gates wrote in a tweet.
I've tested positive for COVID. I'm experiencing mild symptoms and am following the experts' advice by isolating until I'm healthy again.
— Bill Gates (@BillGates) May 10, 2022
In a tweet, Gates said the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation planned to meet Tuesday for the first time in two years. Gates says he will join via Microsoft Teams as he thanks the foundation for its hard work.
"We will continue working with partners and do all we can to ensure none of us have to deal with a pandemic again," Gates tweeted.
In 2015, Gates gave a TED talk about global pandemics, warning us that the world was not prepared to handle one.
"There's no need to panic ... but we need to get going," Gates said during his talk.
In a conversation with NPR's Ari Shapiro in 2020, Gates spoke about the coronavirus response, giving the U.S. high marks for its social distancing efforts but low marks for testing.
"Imagine that the diagnostics had been available in a month and the therapeutics in four months and the vaccine in less than a year," Gates told NPR. "When you have something that grows exponentially, the speed of those responses makes all the difference."

- EUR/USD bears remain in charge according to the weekly outlook.
- The daily chart's consolidation could be a phase of redistribution.
As per the prior analysis, EUR/USD Price Analysis: Accumulation kicking in, or just a respite on the way to test 1.0340, EUR/USD remains in a consolidation phase and it is yet to be seen if this is just a respite or accumulation.
EUR/USD daily chart
From a daily perspective, the price continues to be drawn to the midpoint of the consolidation range. With a break, either way, traders are left with the range to trade and nothing more conclusive. A strong bearish close will be needed in order to paint a bearish head and shoulders on the chart.
EUR/USD weekly chart
From a weekly perspective, the price is still very much in a bear trend and leaves the bias bearish for the foreseeable future. The bears can target the 2017 lows initially, 1.0340. A break there will open the risk of a move below parity.

Rick Riordan, author of the best-selling Percy Jackson and the Olympians, has some pointed words for critics of the decision to cast Leah Jeffries as the character Annabeth Chase in the upcoming Disney+ series based on the books. Jeffries is a person of color. In the books, Annabeth is white.
Under the headline, "Leah Jeffries is Annabeth," Riordan writes on his website, "I have been clear, as the author, that I was looking for the best actors to inhabit and bring to life the personalities of these characters, and that physical appearance was secondary for me." He continues, "You are judging her appropriateness for this role solely and exclusively on how she looks. She is a Black girl playing someone who was described in the books as white."
According to Jeffries, her Tik Tok account was "banned" by people angry over the decision.
"So I guess all the people that kind of did not want me to be Annabeth or something, they literally took down my whole account," Jeffries says in a video posted in a new Tik Tok account.
A spokesperson for Tik Tok says Jeffries' account was taken down due to the platform's minimum age requirement of 13. Jeffries is 12.
Riordan's Percy Jackson books have sold more than 180 million copies worldwide. The live action series tells the story of 12 year old Percy Jackson, a modern demigod embracing his newfound supernatural powers.
"The trio is complete!" Riordan enthused on May 5 when he announcing that Jeffries' Annabeth would join actor Aryan Simhadri as Grover Underwood who plays Percy Jackson's best friend. Jackson will be played by Walker Scobell.
In his statement, Riordan writes that Percy Jackson fans who denounce the casting decision have missed the series' "core message."
"The core message of Percy Jackson has always been that difference is strength. There is power in plurality. The things that distinguish us from one another are often our marks of individual greatness. You should never judge someone by how well they fit your preconceived notions. That neurodivergent kid who has failed out of six schools, for instance, may well be the son of Poseidon. Anyone can be a hero."
Through his imprint with Disney Hyperion Publishing, Riordan has a track record of elevating the work of diverse authors. According to his website, "Our goal is to publish great middle grade authors from underrepresented cultures and backgrounds, to let them tell their own stories inspired by the mythology and folklore of their own heritage."

Spurs won't be leaving San Antonio, team owner Peter Holt says
SAN ANTONIO — San Antonio Spurs owner Peter J. Holt on Tuesday told fans not to worry: The team isn't going anywhere.
A plan to have the Spurs play a few games in Austin, 80 miles away, had raised some local anxiety that the owners may be considering moving the team.
“I want to reassure you that the Spurs are in San Antonio to stay,” Holt said in a message posted on Twitter.
“My family became involved in the Spurs in the 90s because there was a real threat the team would be moved. We would not let that happen then and we will not let that happen now,” Holt said. “There are no Spurs without the city and the people of San Antonio."

Bexar County owns AT&T Center where the Spurs play home games. County commissioners last week raised concerns about the team's request to play two homes games in Austin's new Moody Center, which will host University of Texas games. A team official told the commission the franchise is simply trying to expand its brand.
Austin's soaring popularity and an influx of large corporations who could be major team sponsors have made San Antonio officials nervous that Texas' capital city could lure away the Spurs. San Antonio was stung a few years ago when Major League Soccer opted to expand in Austin instead of the Alamo City. | https://www.caller.com/story/sports/2022/05/10/peter-holt-spurs-leaving-san-antonio-nba-basketball-team-staying-put/9720970002/ | 2022-05-10T23:09:31Z | https://www.caller.com/story/sports/2022/05/10/peter-holt-spurs-leaving-san-antonio-nba-basketball-team-staying-put/9720970002/ | false | 10 |
Recaptured Alabama fugitive Casey White intended to have a shootout with law enforcement, and would have done so had pursuing officers not forced him to wreck in a ditch Monday in Evansville, Indiana, a sheriff said Tuesday.
The crash ended White's 11-day run on the lam with former corrections officer Vicky White, the woman accused of springing him from an Alabama county jail April 29 -- and who authorities preliminarily believe fatally shot herself after the wreck.
Officers who'd been tipped the pair were in Evansville gave chase after seeing them leave a motel in a Cadillac Monday, and had the pursuers not forced them into a ditch, "the fugitive was going to engage in a shootout with law enforcement," Vanderburgh County Sheriff Dave Wedding told reporters Tuesday, citing White's interviews with investigators after his capture.
"That action may have saved many of my deputies' (and other officers') lives," Wedding said.
"(Casey White) said he was probably going to have a shootout, at the stake of both of them losing their lives," Wedding said.
Plenty of questions remain about the actions of the pair, who authorities said may have fostered a clandestine, romantic relationship when the man normally housed in state prison intermittently stayed at a county jail while awaiting trial in a pending murder case. Their travels -- which authorities say involved at least four vehicles from Alabama to Indiana -- sparked a multistate manhunt.
But they appeared equipped for more hiding: In the Cadillac, police found about $29,000 in cash, wigs, four handguns and an AR-15 rifle, Wedding said Tuesday. Police previously said Vicky White probably was using cash from a recent home sale.
The pair ended up being in Evansville for a week, but had paid for a 14-day stay at the motel, Wedding said.
"They thought ... they'd driven long enough that they wanted to stop for a while, get their bearings straight, and then figure out their next place for travel," Wedding said.
A third person may have helped the couple book the motel room, according to a preliminary investigation. Casey White and Vicky White tried to get a room initially, but could not because she did not have identification, Wedding said. The room had been paid for for 14 days, he said, and when the two left, it looked like it had been "cleaned out," he said.
The manager of the motel told CNN he never saw the fugitives and didn't know they were staying there. It's possible they were visiting someone staying at the motel or someone else checked into a room for them, he said.
In Indiana's Vanderburgh County jail Tuesday, Casey White waived his right to an extradition hearing.
"I want to go back to Alabama," Casey White, wearing a yellow jumpsuit and orange slides, said while appearing virtually before a judge from jail.
When he returns to Alabama, he will immediately go before a judge for an arraignment, and then be transferred to state Department of Corrections custody instead of county custody, said Rick Singleton, sheriff of Alabama's Lauderdale County and Vicky White's former boss.
Live updates: The latest on the Alabama fugitive case
Casey White has been speaking freely with investigators after his capture, Wedding said Tuesday.
"He was pretty candid with the investigators last night. They had a fairly lengthy interview," Wedding said.
What led to the chase
Vicky White, 56, and Casey White, 38, are believed to have been in Evansville since at least May 2, when a city police officer proactively checked the license plate of a 2006 Ford F-150 truck, Evansville Police Chief Billy Bolin said Tuesday.
Authorities now believe the pair had bought the truck on the lam in Tennessee -- but the May 2 check did not indicate any connection between the truck and the fugitive pair, Bolin said.
US marshals looking for the pair said they learned Sunday that the truck was abandoned at an Evansville car wash -- an abandonment that Bolin said was initially reported to city police May 4.
On Monday, US marshals announced that May 3 surveillance images from the car wash showed Casey White there with the truck. Investigators learned that the pair left the car wash in a Cadillac, Wedding said, adding he didn't know how they obtained that vehicle.
Also Monday, an Evansville police officer noticed the Cadillac in the motel's parking lot and "notified us immediately," Wedding said.
Law enforcement officers then watched the motel. Officers saw Vicky White exit the motel Monday wearing a wig, US Marshal Marty Keely said. Then, she and Casey White got into the Cadillac and drove away.
Authorities gave chase. The pair "fled out of the hotel parking lot, northbound on US Highway 41 (and) turned in at an industry known as Anchor here in Evansville," Wedding said.
"They went through the parking lot (and) went through a grass field. The members of the US task force basically rammed the vehicle and pushed it into a ditch," Wedding said at Tuesday's news conference.
The car wrecked and rolled over, Keely said. Casey White was driving the car, according to the US Marshals.
Casey White reportedly told authorities to help "his wife" who had shot herself in the head and told them he didn't do it, according to Keely. Casey White and Vicky White were not married to investigators' knowledge, Keely said, and authorities have previously said they were not related.
Authorities preliminarily believe that Vicky White shot herself "once the vehicle crashed," Wedding said. She died at a hospital later Monday.
A coroner will confirm whether Vicky White shot herself, Wedding said.
Vicky White indicated 'she had her finger on the trigger,' dispatcher is heard saying
During the chase, Vicky White indicated during a call with police dispatchers that she had a gun, Wedding told CNN, hours before Tuesday's news conference.
In dispatch audio from Evansville police, a dispatcher noted during Monday's chase that "we could hear her on the line saying she had her finger on the trigger." The dispatcher earlier can be heard saying "they're calling into 911."
It's not clear who made the 911 call. Authorities have not released the audio that they believe contains Vicky White's voice.
No law enforcement officers fired any shots during the chase, according to Singleton.
Pair disappeared April 29 from northern Alabama
The pair initially disappeared April 29 when Vicky White, who was to retire that day as Lauderdale County's assistant director of corrections, said she was taking Casey White from the county jail to a courthouse for a mental evaluation.
But they never arrived at the courthouse, and authorities later discovered she drove him in a patrol car to a shopping center parking lot. They abandoned that car and left in a vehicle Vicky White staged there the night before, officials said.
Casey White will be brought back to Alabama, where he was facing murder charges before his escape and already serving a 75-year sentence after a 2015 crime spree that included a home invasion, carjacking and a police chase, according to the Marshals Service.
Before her death, Vicky White was charged with permitting or facilitating escape in the first degree, in addition to forgery and identity theft charges connected to her use of an alias to purchase the 2007 Ford Edge in which the pair left Alabama, officials said.
The veteran officer has been described by Singleton as "an exemplary employee" with an "unblemished record" who had the trust and respect of her colleagues. As the investigation unfolded, the sheriff acknowledged her apparent behavior is inconsistent with the person her colleagues thought they knew.
"Obviously there was a side to Vicky White that we weren't aware of," he told CNN previously.
Though authorities have said the pair may have had a romantic relationship, in part from what other inmates have said after the pair's escape, Singleton said Monday there was still more to learn about why Vicky White was involved
"What in the world provoked her, prompted her to pull a stunt like this, I don't know. I don't know if we'll ever know," Singleton said.
Search was challenging for investigators
Vicky White "was basically the mastermind behind the whole plan," Singleton said Tuesday.
"He was behind bars. He really couldn't plan too much behind bars, but, yes, I think -- personally, I think she was the one to put the plan together," he told CNN's John Berman on Tuesday.
As the second in command at the county detention center, White used her position to execute the plan, Singleton said.
"She scheduled the van transport that morning, made sure all the other armed deputies were out of the building and tied up in court. Knew the booking officer wouldn't question her ... when she told her she was going to take him to court and drop him off with other employees," Singleton said.
"She arranged -- purchased the getaway car, she sold her house, got her hands on cash, she went shopping, bought clothes for him. She just -- she just obviously put the plan together," Singleton said.
"Casey White didn't escape from the facility; he was basically just let out," the sheriff said.
Vicky White's years of law enforcement expertise presented unique difficulties for authorities.
"This escape was obviously well planned and calculated," Singleton said Monday, noting that escapes from county jails are usually spontaneous. "A lot of preparation went into this. They had plenty of resources, had cash, had vehicles, had everything they needed to pull this off, and that's what made this last week and a half so challenging. We were starting from ground zero, and not only that ... they got a six-hour head start on us."
Investigators previously released video of Vicky White at a Quality Inn in Florence, Alabama, where they say she stayed the night before the escape. Singleton also said they have footage of her shopping for men's clothing at a department store and at an "adult store," adding that she "obviously had a change of clothes" for the inmate.
Before her disappearance, Vicky White submitted her retirement papers, sold her home for well below market value and purchased the car the pair would use to escape, officials have said.
The day of the disappearance was set to be her last day of work, but her retirement papers were never finalized, according to Singleton. The Lauderdale County Sheriff's Office announced last week that she was no longer employed there.
Counselors will be made available at the Lauderdale County Detention Center for staff who may need them after Vicky White's death, according to Singleton.
"It's a small agency, like family," he told CNN. "Some of these younger deputies she was like a mother figure to them and I know they're going to take it hard."
Correction: An earlier version of this story incorrectly described the location of Vanderburgh County; it is in Indiana. The story also had the wrong first name for US Marshal Marty Keely.

WASHINGTON (Nexstar) — Two U.S. Senators from opposite sides of the aisle are teaming up to pass a resolution to urge the Secretary of State to designate Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism.
Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) and Lindsey Graham (R- S.C.) say that Ukraine asked the U.S. to designate Russia as a terrorist country, and that doing so would show Ukraine it has the full support of the United States.
“Putin is a thug and a criminal,” Blumenthal said. “That’s why our own national security is at risk.”
“This designation will matter in U.S. law. There are only four other countries that have such designation,” Graham added.
Russia is accused of committing war crimes, such as intentionally targetting civilians in Ukraine. Graham says that he believes that Putin’s goal is to “recreate the Soviet empire of the former Soviet Union as much as he can.”
Both senators also say that the move would set an example for other countries and send a message to Russia to “change course.”
“If you stay with Putin it’s going to be a miserable existence for the Russian people,” Graham said.
The senators want their resolution attached to the package that would provide nearly $40 billion in emergency aid to Ukraine.
“The need is great, and time is of the essence,” said Senator Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.).
The Biden administration says it won’t hesitate to use appropriate tools, but that the state department must follow proper procedure.
“They take a look at the law and undergo a review of whether somebody has violated, whether a country has violated international terrorism laws,” said White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki. | https://www.ksnt.com/washington/washington-dc/will-russia-be-designated-as-a-state-sponsor-of-terrorism/ | 2022-05-10T23:12:49Z | https://www.ksnt.com/washington/washington-dc/will-russia-be-designated-as-a-state-sponsor-of-terrorism/ | false | 24 |
YORK, Pa. (WHTM) — As gas prices rise again, the skyrocketing cost of home fuel oil is also taking its toll on Midstate homeowners.
Typically around this time of the spring season, homeowners would stock up on home heating oil, but high prices might bring that to a pause.
“Heating oil prices are the highest we have seen to date, period,” Laura Greenholt with Shipley Energy said.
Energy companies can understand why many consumers are not looking to stock up on heating oil. According to the United States Energy Information Administration, heating oil averages $5 and up.
The increase in fuel oil costs can be a burden to many Midstate homeowners, but there are proactive measures that can be useful in combating high prices.
“Another way that customers can tackle it is by getting a tune-up. We recommend that customers get not only furnace tune-ups but essentially make sure your system runs at peak efficacy,” Greenholt said.
Recommendations include conserving energy as much as possible, enrolling in a cap price program (depending on the energy company), or even switching to propane.

“So propane is actually more efficient. All the furnaces run at a more efficient level than heating level furnaces. It’s also a cheaper fuel, so if they don’t have the ability to switch to a natural gas, propane could be a really good option,” Greenholt said.
Lastly, do your best to know what you plan to spend, Greenholt advises.
“So if you go on a budget plan, you would essentially spread your cost out for 12 months, which makes it a little easier than getting that big sticker shock invoice at one time,” Greenholt said.
Energy experts say since prices have gone up in the winter and even more in the spring, there’s no telling when prices will decline. | https://www.abc27.com/news/consumer/home-heating-oil-prices-will-affect-midstate-homeowners/ | 2022-05-10T23:13:47Z | https://www.abc27.com/news/consumer/home-heating-oil-prices-will-affect-midstate-homeowners/ | true | 1 |
Will Young fans were left in tears on Tuesday night during the singer's raw and emotional documentary Will Young: Losing My Twin Rupert.
In the powerful programme, Will, 43, delved into the tragic story of his twin Rupert, who took his own life after a long battle with alcohol addiction.
Through talking to his parents Robin and Annabel, addiction experts and others who've had their own battles or witnessed loved ones' struggles, Will hopes to shine a light on addiction, in a bid to help others win the kind of battle that Rupert ultimately lost in 2020.
Rupert's death came after decades of family intervention and support, with an emotional Will admitting in the documentary: "I did everything I could to not let him die."

Recalling a time when Rupert stayed with Will, the singer said: "This is the sitting room where Rupert slept. My day would start... I would come in... check if he was alright. I'd normally have to clear up some sort of mess. So either like he was sick, or normally he'd have peed on the sofa.
"So I'd have to clear that up, then go and get more beers and codeine, because he was addicted to painkillers. And start my day..."
He continued: "He was was my twin brother. And he struggled with alcohol from the age of probably about 18, through to July 2020, when he killed himself. I really have never spoken about this before. And I'd like to speak about things. It wasn't my story to tell you no, but now it is."
Will, who won Pop Idol in 2001, also went on to give some background to why he has made the documentary, saying: "My name is William Young. I'm a singer, actor and writer.
"It's important to tell my story, to tell Rupert's story, to tell my family's story and to tell the story of 20 years of living with my twin who was an alcoholic. Other people will be experiencing this and I don't want people to feel alone."
Summing up Rupert's story, Will tried to focus on the good times, as well as the very dark times, as he remembered his brother.
"I just feel very grateful actually, that I got 42 years with him," he said.
Viewers were left emotional over the "heartbreaking" documentary as they praised Will for bravely sharing his twin Rupert's story.
One person said: "I swear, I’ve not stopped crying for this past hour. Rupert will live on through his family and they’re so brave for opening up and talking so openly about him #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #LosingMyTwin #LosingMyTwinRupert #C4WillYoung #WillYoung."
A different account put: "My heart goes out to @willyoung and his family. Such a tough topic to watch but @Channel4 have dealt with it with empathy. #losingmytwinrupert."

Lion’s Baseball sweeps the Huskies in the final home series of the regular season
SLU baseball won their series against Houston Baptist, winning 6-5, 18-15 and 12-0, which completed the conference matchup sweep at Alumni Field.
The Lions’ offense showed out the May 6-8 matchup, with successes at the plate putting SLU ahead in all three games, including a walk-off home run in game two, moving the Lions to a first-place tie in the Southland Conference regular-season standings. They are tied with McNeese State at 12-9.
SLU sprung into action early in game one, with first baseman Preston Faulkner singling to right field to bring in an RBI, preceded by third baseman Shea Thomas homering into right field to bring in two more runs in the bottom of the first.
A Faulkner sac fly in the third put the Lions up 4-0 for the time being. After surrendering four straight runs to HBU, second baseman Rhett Rosevear doubled to bring in an RBI, while center fielder Tyler Finke’s sacrifice fly raised the Lions’ tally to six runs. The team held on to win by a score of 6-5 in game one.
Freshman pitcher Adam Guth earned his third win of the season after throwing for five innings and allowing four runs on seven hits with four strikeouts during his outing.
Although game two was action-filled, the Lions were unable to score until the bottom of the fourth. Then Finke hit a single, allowing Rosevear to score and Thomas brought in Finke for an RBI, which resulted in the Lions’ first two runs of the game.
In the bottom of the fifth, the Lions gained six more runs. Left fielder Tristan Welch scored the first run while outfielder Christian Garcia tripled to right-center field, bringing in a run. Next, catcher Bryce Grizzaffi singled to left field to score Garcia before shortstop Evan Keller advanced to third and Grizzaffi scored off a passed ball. Keller then scored through Finke’s triple to left field. Next, Faulkner had an RBI single to left-center field, scoring Finke. Faulkner also scored the last run in the bottom of the fifth after a Shea Thomas sac fly.
The Lions’ scored three runs in the sixth inning, bringing the score to 13-4; however, the Huskies rallied in the seventh inning, scoring 10 runs and gaining the lead, with an additional run in the eighth adding to the potential successful comeback.
After RBIs by Faulkner and Finke in the eighth inning, SLU entered the bottom of the ninth tied 15-15. Thomas stepped up to bat with two on base and delivered a home run to left field, resulting in three runs by bringing home first baseman Preston Faulkner and centerfield Tyler Finke for the walk-off win, 18-15.
In game three, pitcher Andrew Landry became the 21st one-hitter in Southeastern baseball history, pitching for all seven innings and throwing seven strikeouts for the Lions.
Faulkner led SLU at the plate with one run and four RBIs, as every player except one in the starting lineup scored, hit or had an RBI in the 12-0 seven-inning game three victory.
Southeastern also celebrated senior day and the accomplishments of the team’s seniors during the pre-game to game three on Sunday, May 8. Seniors Tyler Finke, Connor Manola, Gage Trahan, Nick Ray, Grant Upton and Hunter O’Toole, have contributed heavily to the success of Lions’ baseball, so their tenures were recognized in game two.
SLU has its last midweek game against the 14 ranked LSU Tigers in Baton Rouge on Tuesday, May 10. Then, the Lions will travel to Thibodaux for Southeasterns’ final weekend series against the Nicholls State Colonels on May 12-14 to have a chance to take the Southland regular-season title.

It failed to be aware that number have most unusual characteristics you to definitely defy commonsense
To explain why, we are in need of a little theology. Usually, the brand new Religious God are held to-be deeply concerned with person beings. Genesis (1:27) states: “God created mankind in his own picture. Such texts reveal that Goodness is actually person-oriented: People are just like Jesus, and then he beliefs united states extremely. Though our company is focusing on Christianity, these claims come into almost every other monotheistic religions, also. In the event the Jesus try human-dependent, would not you would expect him to make an excellent market in which humans feature prominently? Might assume humans so you can inhabit all of the world, established round the go out. But really this is simply not the kind of universe i live-in. Humans are particularly brief, and area, once the Douglas Adams just after put it, “is big, really most larger. The entire universe is at minimum 250 times as large as the newest observable world.
Our very own entire world try 150m kilometres out of the sun. World’s nearby a-listers, brand new want motorcycle dating app Alpha Centauri system, was four light-years aside (which is as much as forty trillion kilometres). The galaxy, the newest Milky Method, contains any where from a hundred to 400 mil celebrities. Human beings entertain the tiniest small fraction of it. To paraphrase Adams, the brand new universe is even most, extremely dated. Perhaps over thirteen mil years of age. Planet is just about four million yrs old, and you can humans developed around 2 hundred,100000 years ago. Temporally speaking, individuals have been popular to have a close look-blink. Clearly, there’s a discrepancy between the variety of world we could possibly anticipate an individual-founded Jesus which will make, plus the world we are now living in.
How can we identify it? Certainly the most basic reason is that Goodness cannot occur. New spatial and you can temporal size of the new market gives us reason to get atheists. One can possibly perhaps not establish something in the a bad. Anybody can compensate one God needed and no you to can prove it doesn’t occur! The burden off research needs to be to your those that claim the presence of a goodness! As well as cannot!
The landmass of planet earth was a decrease within this water out of room

A 76 year-old Nyanga man has asked a traditional leader to return his livestock and money which he paid as punishment after his 15 year-old grandson was convicted and fined for allegedly violating an odd traditional custom of wearing red colours during the rainy season.
Fungai Mushonga, the Headman for Tamunesa village in Nyanga District in Manicaland province on 7 January 2022 took the unprecedented and bizarre decision in which he ordered 76 year-old Peter Makunura to pay four goats, two chickens and US$20 after faulting him for allowing his 15 year-old grandson, who had visited him, to wear a red cap during the rainy season, a practice which is outlawed in the village.
Makunura was also charged for undermining authority of the Headman by not presenting himself at a primary court session, where he was supposed to answer to the frivolous charges.
The 76 year-old Makunura has now engaged Kelvin Kabaya and Peggy Tavagadza of Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights, who recently filed an application for review of the proceedings presided over by Mushonga and seeking to set aside the absurd decision of the primary court.
In the application, Kabaya and Tavagadza argued that Mushonga’s decision to summon a minor child to appear in court without his guardian and to permit the Messenger of Court to attach and take into execution Makunura’s property, when he was never a party to the proceedings and was never summoned to appear in the primary court, was grossly irregular as to amount to an illegality.
The human rights lawyers also contended that the decision by Mushonga to enter a judgment in default in circumstances involving a minor child was grossly irregular as to induce a sense of shock and revulsion.
Kabaya and Tavagadza want Mushonga’s judgment to be set aside and that he be ordered to pay back the four goats, two chickens and US$20 to Makunura.
In his defence, Mushonga, who is opposing the application, argued that it is taboo in his jurisdiction for his subjects to “wear red clothing during the rainy season” and that he could not ascertain the age of Makunura’s grandson for him to realise that he was a minor.
Nyanga Magistrate Notebulgar Muchineripi is yet to hand down judgment on Makunura’s application. | https://www.263chat.com/septuagenarian-challenges-traditional-leaders-bizarre-custom/ | 2022-05-10T23:28:20Z | https://www.263chat.com/septuagenarian-challenges-traditional-leaders-bizarre-custom/ | true | 7 |
Teen Mom 2 fans had plenty of reactions to alum Jenelle Evans recently joining OnlyFans.
As Monsters & Critics previously reported, Jenelle joined the NSFW platform amid her recent financial struggles.
Since being fired from Teen Mom 2 in 2019, Jenelle has struggled to secure work. She’s tried her hand as a social media influencer to no avail.
After her JE Cosmetics line went out of business last year, Jenelle was dropped from an athleisure line just days before its launch, and she failed to get her two podcasts — GirlS**t and The Jenelle Evans Podcast — up and running.
Jenelle Evans’s monthly earnings since joining OnlyFans
Now, Jenelle is earning some cash by sharing private content to her subscribers on OnlyFans. One Teen Mom 2 viewer “took one for the team” and subscribed to Jenelle’s OnlyFans, then shared some information on Reddit.
Teen Mom Chatter 2 on Instagram shared screenshots from the Reddit thread. The Redditor revealed that Jenelle isn’t sharing anything provocative.
According to Instagram user @kittyjakers’s estimation, with at least 150 subscribers at the time of their post and with each paying $20 per month for their subscription, Jenelle is pulling in at least $3,000 per month on subscriptions alone. That doesn’t factor in the private photos she shares via DM, which cost around $7 per pic.
Teen Mom 2 viewers react to Jenelle joining OnlyFans
Teen Mom 2 viewers commented on the Instagram post, giving their two cents about Jenelle’s latest business venture.
One of Jenelle’s critics called her out for not offering anything extra that she doesn’t already offer on social media to her paying customers. “You see that amount of skin on her tiktok😂 oi vey this dang woman…” their comment read.
It continued, “So0o0o depressed, basically paralyzed, twerking on tiktok, and posting basic boring onlyphans content after shaming others for using the platform..okay, Hoenelley.”
“Desperate times calls for desperate measures🥴” read another comment.
One Teen Mom 2 fan felt that Jenelle and her husband David Eason need to get “real jobs” and commented, “😂😂😂 👏👏👏thank you!!! These j&d need a real job. They will do anything to actually not earn an honest buck.”
Also included in the Instagram post were screenshots from Jenelle’s Twitter from two years ago in which she denounced OnlyFans.
“Thank God I’m not on Only Fans,” Jenelle tweeted in September 2020. She added, “And the only reason why I make any comments about OF is because y’ll are being cheated out of money in my opinion.”
One of the comments was aimed at Jenelle’s past comments. It read, “Her comments didn’t age well at all. 😆”
Jenelle joining OnlyFans comes on the heels of her recording a video, claiming that “haters” formed a “hate campaign” against her aimed at costing her and her family income.
The Season 11 finale of Teen Mom 2 airs on Tuesday, May 10 on MTV. | https://www.monstersandcritics.com/tv/reality-tv/teen-mom-2-fans-react-to-jenelle-evans-joining-onlyfans-estimate-her-monthly-earnings/ | 2022-05-10T23:37:17Z | https://www.monstersandcritics.com/tv/reality-tv/teen-mom-2-fans-react-to-jenelle-evans-joining-onlyfans-estimate-her-monthly-earnings/ | false | 1 |
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A former Southern California sheriff's deputy who funded an extravagant lifestyle with $5.6 million he bilked from victims in investment scams pleaded guilty to federal charges and could face up to 20 years in prison, authorities said Tuesday.
Christopher Burnell, 51, of Highland, entered pleas Monday to 11 counts of wire fraud and two counts of filing a false tax return, the U.S. Department of Justice said in a statement.
Burnell, a former deputy with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, claimed to be a wealthy businessman who made tens of millions of dollars from lawsuits against the Sheriff's Department and the Kaiser Permanente health care chain, from selling a patent for an air-cooled bullet-resistant vest and through various investments, prosecutors said.
Burnell promised some victims that if they invested their money with him, they could earn 100% returns in weeks, prosecutors said.
But instead of investing the money, Burnell blew more than $2 million gambling at a local casino, spent $500,000 on private jet trips and hundreds of thousands of dollars buying luxury goods for his then-girlfriends, court documents said.
The fraud lasted from late 2010 through late 2017, ending when Burnell couldn't find new victims and the money ran out, prosecutors said.
Burnell could face up to 20 years in prison for each count of wire fraud and up to three yeaars in prison for each tax count when he is sentenced on Aug. 15, prosecutors said. | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Ex-deputy-pleads-guilty-to-5-6-million-17163644.php | 2022-05-10T23:37:36Z | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Ex-deputy-pleads-guilty-to-5-6-million-17163644.php | true | 10 |
Colombia cartel shuts down dozens of towns after leader extradited to US
BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) - The Gulf Clan drug cartel shut down dozens of towns in northern Colombia for four days in reaction to its leader being extradited to the U.S. for trial. It warned that anyone who disobeyed the stay-at-home order risked being shot or having their vehicle burned.
Businesses closed, schools stayed shut, intercity bus service was suspended and a professional soccer match couldn’t be played after one of the teams refused to travel to the game.
The Gulf Clan’s "armed stoppage" decree was issued Thursday in pamphlets and What’sApp messages following the extradition of Dairo Antonio Usuga — also known as Otoniel — to the United States, where he faces drug trafficking charges.
The action appeared to be winding down Monday, according to reports from human rights groups and the Roman Catholic Church, bit o underlined that the cartel is still a major security threat despite Otoniel’s highly publicized arrest last year.
Analysts said the cartel’s ability to shut down multiple towns highlighted shortcomings in the government’s long fight against drug trafficking groups.
"The security strategy of focusing on high profile targets does not guarantee security for civilians," said Elizabeth Dickinson, a senior analyst at the International Crisis Group.
Camilo Gonzalez, the president of Colombian think tank Indepaz, said: "Drug trafficking will not end with the capture of Otoniel. When they captured Pablo Escobar they said drug trafficking would be over, and today there is more of it than back then."
According to Colombia’s Ministry of Defense, three civilians and three police officers were killed during the four days of the shutdown and more than 180 cars were burned for apparently violating the cartel’s order, mostly on rural highways.
Even worse numbers were reported by the Special Jurisdiction for Peace, a tribunal created following the 2016 peace deal between the Colombian government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia rebel group.
The tribunal said 24 civilians were slain in areas covered by the Gulf Clan’s stoppage, which it said forced people to stay home in 138 municipalities in the northern provinces of Choco, Sucre, Bolivar, Antioquia and Cordoba.
In Monteria, a provincial capital of almost 500,000 residents, commerce shut down for four days and the local gas company stopped delivering cylinders to homes. A soccer match between local team Jaguares and a club from Medellin was suspended Sunday because the visitors refused to travel to Monteria in fear their bus would be attacked by cartel enforcers.
The Gulf Clan, which also calls itself the Gaitanista Self Defense Forces of Colombia, was founded in the first decade of this century by leaders of paramilitary groups that refused to join a demobilization agreement in which other groups took part.
Otoniel, the Gulf Clan’s most recent leader, had long been a fixture on the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s most-wanted list.
He was first indicted in 2009 in Manhattan federal court on narcotics charges and for allegedly assisting a far right paramilitary group designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S. government. Later indictments in Brooklyn and Miami federal courts accused him of smuggling at least 73 metric tons of cocaine into the United States between 2003 and 2014.
Colombian authorities have sought to play down the cartel’s stoppage, saying they deployed 52,000 soldiers to ensure the security of civilians in the affected areas.
President Ivan Duque said Saturday that actions taken by the cartel’s members were "isolated incidents" aimed at intimidating locals insisting that the organization is now weaker and its leadership has been fragmented.
Police offered rewards of more than $1 million for the capture of three men who have been identified as the clan’s new leaders. But critics of the government said the clan’s days are far from over.
"The government can eliminate important leaders," said Gonzalez, the Indepaz think tank president. "But this is a a mafia network that also includes politicians and money launderers. And it is also involved in human trafficking, illegal gold mining and other businesses."

Three to SWITCH OFF 3G network for millions of customers – what it means for YOU
THREE has revealed that it is switching OFF its 3G network after more than 20 years.
The provider was the first company to launch 3G way back in 2003.
But times have moved on and the focus is now on superfast 5G.
The firm has announced it will turn off 3G completely by the end of 2024.
It claims this will free up resources so it can focus on improving 4G and continue rolling out 5G, as part of a £2billion commitment.
But the plan will leave some customers without any internet access at all.
Those who own an older 3G device will have to upgrade if they want to continue going online with the network.
You can check if your phone is able to use 4G or 5G by going to this site.
According to Three, fewer and fewer people are using 3G - so much so, 5G usage has now exceeded it.
It comes amid recent concerns that cars relying on 3G for important safety features could also be affected.
Most read in Phones & Gadgets
Other networks EE and Vodafone have already committed to scaling back 3G by 2023.
It's well ahead of an industry wide target of 2033 - though that also includes the 2G network.
Despite being even older, 2G will take longer because it still offers wide coverage.
Three's Chief Technology Officer, David Hennessy, said: "As we continue to roll out our ultrafast connectivity, by not only upgrading our existing 4G sites but building new 5G sites, we’ll be in a position to switch off our use of 3G across our network by the end of 2024."
As the date 3G will be switched off approaches, Three has pledged to work with any customers still using a 3G phone to ensure they stay connected.

On the fifth day of the opening of the doors of Kedarnath Dham, more than 80,000 pilgrims visited Kedarnath Dham and took darshan of Lord Kedarnath.
SP, Rudraprayag, Ayush Aggarwal, told ANI on the phone that the journey to Kedarnath Dham is going on smoothly and there is a queue among passengers for darshan.
"From the helipad located in Kedarnath Dham to the temple, there is a long queue of devotees to have darshan of God. 6 devotees who came on Kedarnath pilgrimage have also died due to deteriorating health," he added.
Mr Aggarwal also said that in view of the bad weather, the passengers are stopped at Sonprayag and they are being sent from Sonprayag to Kedarnath Dham after the weather turns clear.

Oil summary comes via ANZ, plenty to chew on:
- negotiations amongst EU member states on sanctions on Russia oil failed to reach an agreement
- Saudi Arabia’s oil minister warned that the entire energy market is running out of capacity. His UAE counterpart added that without more global investment, OPEC+ won’t be able to guarantee sufficient oil supplies when demand fully recovers from the pandemic.
- The US Energy Information Administration reduced its forecast for domestic production to 11.9mb/d, as US drillers raised output at a slower pace.

2023 Mazda CX-60: Five cool features making their Mazda debuts
Mazda’s first Large Architecture model brings about many new features and engineering changes for the brand. Here are some of our favourites.
The new 2023 Mazda CX-60 represents many ‘firsts’ for the brand.
In addition to an all-new rear-wheel-drive architecture included below the Mazda SUV's body, two brand-new inline six-cylinder engines will eventually find their way under the CX-60's bonnet.
While it’s coy to say it aloud, Mazda is attempting to position the vehicle towards the luxury segment, with higher levels of equipment and nicer materials as a 'cut-price' rival for models from brands such as BMW and Audi.
The CX-60 will also host the Japanese brand’s first-ever plug-in hybrid powertrain, mated to a new Mazda-developed eight-speed automatic transmission.
It’s an exciting time for the brand, but here are the bits and pieces making their Mazda debut on the CX-60 that we’re most excited about.
1. See-Through View camera
Mazda’s new See-Through View camera system allows you to invariably see through your car, making it easier to manoeuvre at low speeds.
Because the blockade of a car’s body is not seen using this wide-view camera, drivers have a better contextual understanding of what surrounds the car. Objects around the car aren’t obscured by the car’s own bodywork, which could make spotting items such as bollards and wheel stops in car parks much easier.
The CX-60 is able to do this using four cameras placed around the car, which stitch together a comprehensive view of the car’s surroundings.
2. Driver Personalisation System
Mazda’s new Driver Personalisation System makes its debut on the Mazda CX-60, a system which can recall the preferences of specific vehicle occupants and adjust their seating positions accordingly each time they step into the vehicle.
This neat trick draws upon a driver-facing camera which can tell which driver is behind the steering wheel and automatically adjust various parameters to suit them, including seat position, steering wheel, mirrors, head-up display, and even the climate control and stereo system settings.
To set up the feature a driver must save their height in the infotainment system, before the feature matches what the driver entered to their eye-line.
3. Optimised drive modes
A first for Mazda is the choice of five separate drive modes, where usually Mazdas were limited to a singular Sport setting, or an additional Off-road mode. On the list for the CX-60 plug-in hybrid are five Mi-Drive modes including Normal, Sport, Off-road, Towing, and EV.
Sport primes the vehicle for dynamic driving by locking the car’s petrol engine on, boosted by the 17.8kWh battery and electric motor.
Off-road and Towing modes tune the vehicle’s new eight-speed transmission to best deal with tackling loose surfaces or pulling a load, while also changing aspects of the all-wheel-drive system.
EV mode makes fully-electric driving possible by switching off the combustion engine, enabling up to 60 kilometres on a full charge according to WLTP testing. There’s also a mode which can preserve the vehicle's battery for later, so you’re not draining when on rural roads, for example.
4. New eight-speed multi-clutch automatic transmission
Mazda has done away with the Aisin-developed six-speed transmission in its front-wheel-drive cars, and developed an all-new gearbox in house for the CX-60.
This new eight-speed gearbox uses planetary gears and multi-plate clutches in place of a torque converter for a “smooth and responsive gear shift” – akin to what's found in a high-end Mercedes-AMG luxury car.
Mazda also says the new eight-speed 'box returns better fuel economy, an important aspect the company focused on – especially for the plug-in hybrid variant. Gears can be manually selected using steering wheel-mounted paddles.
5. Human Machine Interface upgrades
Mazda drivers will have three separate screens to display all pertinent driving, infotainment, and navigational data.
Making a debut on a Mazda for the first time with the CX-60 is a fully-digital 12.3-inch instrument cluster, rather than the 7.0-inch displays in past models. In addition to instruments, shows various screens such as a start-up animation and drive mode-related displays when appropriate.
The head-up display is three times larger than that of the Mazda CX-30, showing information such as speed, navigation, and adaptive cruise control status.
The CX-60 also has a 12.3-inch infotainment screen which now includes touch capability – albeit only when stationary. It runs the now familiar Mazda Connect software seen in the Mazda 3, CX-30, CX-5, CX-8 and CX-9.

Police are investigating a luxury vehicle heist in the south suburbs.
Surveillance video from early Monday morning captured the burglary at Pro Cars USA in Alsip as masked men smashed their way into the family-owned dealership using a tire.
“We don’t know what to do,” said the owner, who asked to remain anonymous. “I don’t know what to say I have no words for this.”
Video shows the burglars roaming the showroom for several minutes looking for keys to the high-end vehicles.
“Sometimes we have people coming in doing videos of the cars,” said the owner. “I saw the videos of these people I don’t know them.”
The owner told NBC 5 the alarm to the damaged door didn’t go off, giving the individuals time to carry out the heist.
“They walked in the back there -- that’s where we keep all our keys,” said the owner.
Local
NBC 5 learned the thieves made two trips to steal a total of 10 luxury vehicles, including a Mercedes G-Wagon, a Rolls Royce, a Porsche and a Maserati.
“Around 9:30 a.m., they came back and tried to steal another car while we were here,” said the owner. “They couldn’t take the car because the key didn’t work. Police chased them -- they couldn’t get them.”
Alsip police spotted two of the stolen vehicles later that day at 87th and the Dan Ryan. They tried to pull the vehicles over, but the suspects fled.
“It’s just very unsafe anywhere,” said the owner. “I hope they don’t come back. They should not come back.”
The owner, who immigrated to Chicago, said he build his business from the ground up eight years ago. He said he's grateful he and his employees are OK and knows they will bounce back from this.
He now hopes the people responsible can be stopped.
“They came at night, nobody was here,” he said. “It doesn’t make sense, but during the day while we’re here, they’re still coming here with guns and stuff—I mean, I don’t want myself and these guys to be in front of these people.”
Alsip police said at least one of the stolen vehicles was recovered in Chicago and is currently being processed for evidence. Investigators believe this incident is connected to several other dealerships’ burglaries in recent weeks. | https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/caught-on-camera-thieves-break-into-south-suburban-alsip-dealership-steal-10-luxury-cars/2829244/ | 2022-05-11T00:06:29Z | https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/caught-on-camera-thieves-break-into-south-suburban-alsip-dealership-steal-10-luxury-cars/2829244/ | true | 1 |
Leonard Kamna “In a Good Mood” by Giro d’Italia. This might just be a side note for a professional cyclist, but it’s worth mentioning for the very talented guy from Fidel.
With cycling also on our minds, the former junior world champion only took a break a year ago due to mental issues, just around nine months after returning in February. A few weeks later, he won another stage at the Rota del Sol and in the opening match of the Giro in Hungary, the 25-year-old presented himself in an attacking mood as if he had never turned away.
An attack at the start that frightened the field and finishing eighth in the Budapest time trial was good for “self-confidence”, but also documented the great potential of Kämna, who has big plans for the three weeks: “When I’m when I’m in a breakup, there’s always a chance to win. I set myself the goal of following the stages.” Sports director Rolf Aldaj thinks he can, and many think he does: “Lenny has freedom, he has the wheel of a racing instinct,” said Eurosport’s Aldaj.
Kamna: I found “lust” again
Not only because of his furious on-stage victory at the 2020 Tour de France, when he pulled away from former Olympic champion and Giro champion Richard Carapaz on his way to Villard-de-Lans, Kämna is a huge promise for the future. But then there was calm around him again. Kamna got off his bike, and didn’t want to talk about it anymore. “If I had dried out completely, I’d say I don’t feel like it anymore,” Kamna said at the beginning of the year. He had to struggle with similar problems in the Sunweb team.
He found desire again at Cape Epic, a mountain bike race in South Africa. “I rode there just for fun, without any pressure to perform,” Kamna recently told SportBuild. She added, “But when I saw the other drivers fighting for victory, it hit me again.
Tingling in the legs. That was a sign: Now things are really starting over. “He found mechanisms that would not allow himself to be dragged by mathematical failures. A sports psychologist also helped him.
Teammate Dumoulin ‘in the best shape’
KAMNA is not an isolated case in cycling. Former Giro winner Tom Dumoulin, with whom he had ridden together on Team Sunweb, also took a longer break. He is also in contact with the Dutchman via WhatsApp. “A great driver, an absolute champion,” Kamna enthuses enthusiastically: “From what I heard from him, he’s definitely at his best. He’ll be in a good mood.”
Dumoulin has reached the top of the world, and many experts also believe that the Kamna is capable of it. Strong in the mountains, plus an excellent time trial – the North German, whose height is 1.81 meters and weighs only 65 kilograms, actually has everything he needs to finish the lead. The captain’s role at Kamna this season has yet to be planned, and team manager Ralph Dink doesn’t want to add to the pressure.
In Italy, Kamna is also said to have been assisted by his three captains Emmanuel Buchmann, Wilko Kieldermann (Netherlands) and Guy Hindley (Australia). Kamna says he has a “good feeling” for Buchmann. “It looks decent and it looks very decent.” This also applies to latency.

Andrew Vaughn heads to Charlotte on a rehab assignment as the Chicago White Sox OF recovers from a bruised right hand
Outfielder Andrew Vaughn took some swings during batting practice Tuesday before the Chicago White Sox played the Cleveland Guardians at Guaranteed Rate Field.
The next step in Vaughn’s recovery from a bruised right hand is a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte.
Sox manager Tony La Russa said Vaughn was scheduled to leave for Charlotte on Tuesday night and likely would play Wednesday.
“He’s made progress,” La Russa said. “(He’s) going to Charlotte and will start to get some at-bats. I think we’re going to see how he feels (to determine how long he stays in Charlotte). He’s got a little soreness, but that’s the soreness, not the hurt-ness.
“He’s just got to get into game competition and see how it feels. You get (back) to the big leagues, he’s going to want to be as good as he can be.”
Vaughn got hit on the hand by a Mike Mayers pitch in the ninth inning April 29 against the Los Angeles Angels and went on the injured list May 2.
He has a .283/.367/.566 slash line with three doubles, four home runs, 12 RBIs and five runs in 16 games. Despite the missed time, he entered Tuesday tied for the team lead in homers and RBIs.

Luis Gil to start for Yankees on Thursday as Bombers call on sixth starter following pair of weekend rainouts
Luis Gil will make the start for the Yankees on Thursday to open a series against the White Sox in Chicago. The Bombers need a sixth starter because of back-to-back rainouts over the weekend, and they are currently in the midst of a streak in which they play 23 games in 22 days.
Gil made a big splash when he came up to the big leagues last season. He did not give up a run through his first three starts. He ended up making six emergency starts for the Yankees as they dealt with injuries, finishing with a 3.07 ERA. He struck out 38 over 29.1 innings pitched, but also walked 19.
“The talent is obviously there. When he came up here last year, he pitched well for us, as we saw, pitching some important games for us,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “He’s got off to a little bit of a slow start in AAA, but is coming off a really strong outing, probably his best outing. He’s built-up to a full starter load, so he’s at whatever you want. One hundred pitches, he can do that. And just feel like coming off the last start he had, which was probably his best work, I think he’s dealt with some cold weather things as well. . . His work’s been really good in between these last two so feel like he’s the guy to go to at this moment.”
Gil is off to a rough start in Triple-A this season. Through five starts, Gil has a 9.53 ERA. He’s struck out 25 and walked 12 in 17 innings. His last start, on May 5, Gil allowed two earned runs and struck out nine in five innings of work.
Yankees pitching coach Matt Blake said Gil’s struggles early this season were something they “wrestled with,” in making the decision, but the fact that Gil was stretched out to a full starter’s load was the deciding factor.
Clarke Schmidt, who started the season in the Yankee bullpen but was sent down when the roster was cut from 28 to 26, was also considered. Schmidt, however, is not stretched out.
THE CENTER OF IT ALL
Aaron Judge made his 10th start in center field Tuesday night. Boone likes the ability to slide the slugger there to get Giancarlo Stanton into the field and use the designated hitter spot for another player he feels could use some tie off his feet. Tuesday night, it was Josh Donaldson at DH.
The 10 starts at center field for Judge are a third of the games he’s played this season. In 2021, Judge made 21 starts in center. Prior to that, he had not played there since one start in 2018.
It’s no longer a novelty, but something that Boone is very comfortable with.
“He thinks of himself as a center fielder. I’ll tell you that much. He loves playing out there,” Boone said. “And look, the reason I’ve gone to him so many times out there in the back half of last season and this year is, one, the fact that we can get Giancarlo out there as much as I have, but the other is that he plays the position really well. So I just look at it as he’s a good baseball player. He’s a really good defender. And he’s shown that in right, and now with more extended reps in center field as well.”
Judge was a center-fielder in college.
GALLO OUT
Joey Gallo was out of the lineup Tuesday night after playing in the previous four games. Boone said it was just a good night to give him rest, despite the fact that he is hitting .333 against Blue Jays lefty Yusei Kikuchi. Boone cited the groin injury that had him missing three straight games last week as wanting to be proactive.
Gallo has had a few hits over the last week, but is still struggling to start the season. He’s slashing .183/.284/..324 with a .608 OPS with three home runs.
“I do feel like he’s started to gain a little bit of traction where he’s consistently throwing a hit out there and getting on base a little bit more,” Boone said. “Obviously he’s hit a couple home runs now after not hitting one for a while. I feel like he’s making some steady, steady improvement, but I’m more looking at just the quality of his bats, you know, as he is he hitting pitches that he should and those kinds of things.”

5 questions to ask Steve Nash and Sean Marks at Wednesday’s Nets’ presser
Nets GM Sean Marks and head coach Steve Nash will address the media on Wednesday. Their presser will mark the first time Nash has spoken since the Celtics swept the Nets out of the first round in April, and Marks hasn’t spoken to reporters since shortly after the team acquired Ben Simmons at the Feb. 10 trade deadline.
The Nets are entering Year 4 of the Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving era but have no championship to show and have just one playoff series victory to two early, disappointing exits. Durant called this summer a “very, very important offseason,” and they’ll have to answer a number of questions entering the most pivotal summer in franchise history.
How does the fashion the Nets lost in influence their offseason?
The Nets didn’t just lose. Hell, they didn’t just get swept. They got bullied – and it was the worst possible way to lose for a team with two all-world scorers.
The first round was a nightmare: Durant and Irving were mere mortals and succumbed to the pressure, physicality and continuity of the Celtics’ defense.
Boston, however, is only a pit stop on the road to a championship, provided the franchise still remains steadfast in their belief such a goal is attainable. In the East, the championship road also includes the Sixers, Heat and Bucks, and each of those teams, the Celtics included, have the edge in size and strength.
Quite frankly, the Nets need to get bigger, and it should be a clear priority for the front office this summer. Not just bigger in terms of adding size at the center, but adding size on the wings, as well.
It’s also quite clear the team needs a true point guard. Durant and Irving are better off with someone else generating looks for them instead of having to work for every shot. Also, is Ben Simmons your point guard or your point forward?
Durant, Irving and Simmons headline a roster that also includes guaranteed deals with Joe Harris, Seth Curry and rookies Cam Thomas and Day’Ron Sharpe. Patty Mills has a player option, and both Bruce Brown and Nic Claxton are restricted free agents.
How much will the luxury tax dictate your offseason moves?
If money isn’t anything but a number, the Nets could put together a formidable roster on top of the stars they already have. But as I discussed in Offseason Chronicle No. 1, the Nets are now repeat tax offenders, which means new contracts after Irving’s looming extension will begin costing an additional $4 for every dollar spent on a new player’s contract.
The Nets have to make decisions on both Claxton and Brown, who each could command upwards of $8M a year. They also have three trade exceptions worth $11.6, $6.3 and $3.3M, and the mid-level exception worth $6M.
Those are all available to add to the roster – if Joe Tsai is willing to pay the tax.
That tax could be the difference between a roster loaded with championship-caliber role players, or a bare bones roster built around starpower and minimum contracts.
Are you going to run exotic offensive sets?
The grand question awaiting head coach Steve Nash, whose offense at times more closely resembled games of pick-up at the park than an organized, professional basketball team.
With Durant and Irving, it’s easy to fall into the pick-up trap. They are two of the most dominant isolation scorers in NBA history. Some of this team’s best offense has come from Durant and Irving bending a defense beyond the breaking point.
But how much isolation is too much isolation? And more importantly, at what point does it become predictable?
I always think back to what Ime Udoka said before a March 6 game against the Nets. “I know their game,” said Udoka, an assistant on Nash’s staff before taking the Celtics job. “It’s not about their sets, offensively. It’s about who they [Durant and Irving] are. They’re not running anything complicated. It’s get them the ball and let them do what they do.”
The Nets have significant room to grow in their offensive creativity, and I think Nash wants to go down that road. It’s just hard to build a complex offense when you start the season with 10 new players, lose 13 players at one time to the health and safety protocol, lose Durant for a month and a half to an MCL sprain, and deal with a James Harden trade, all while Irving is in and out of the rotation because of his vaccination status.
What exactly happened with Ben Simmons?
There’s not a whole lot of trust between fans, media and the Nets front office when it comes to Ben Simmons. Simmons never played a game the second half of the season, and the Nets strung his status along until the very end, when they ruled him out for the fourth and final game of their playoffs after he ramped up to playing with contact, only to wake up one morning with back soreness.
That’s an issue because the Nets traded James Harden in exchange for Simmons, who had a history of back issues in Philadelphia and ultimately needed back surgery this offseason. It’s a bad look if the Nets already knew he had significant back problems before trading Harden, and it’s an even worse look if they didn’t do their due diligence in the first place.
Trading Harden reduced any chance the Nets had at winning a championship this season to zero.
And if Simmons’ back problems persist, the Nets can kiss goodbye the idea of getting another Harden-caliber player. It’s a big bet on a star who isn’t on the floor because of both mental and physical reasons, and the Nets haven’t been straight about it.
Is this what you meant by championship culture?
Everyone knew things would change once KD and Kyrie arrived in Brooklyn. First it was D’Angelo Russell. Then it was Kenny Atkinson. Caris Levert, Jarrett Allen and Spencer Dinwiddie went shortly after.
So did that good ole’ Nets culture.
Quite frankly there’s not the same aura about the Nets as there was before the stars aligned. There’s been drama at virtually every turn. The Nets have felt more soap-opera than the Knicks, only they don’t have the ratings or crowd turnout to back it up.
Some of it has been outside the team’s control: Everyone dealt with COVID-19, and injuries are an unfortunate part of the game. But when you shoot for the stars, the light shines bright. What’s come to light is an organization run – or to use Irving’s word, “managed” – by their star players.
It’s the biggest bet the Nets made when they agreed to a future with Durant and Irving – which, to be clear, is brighter than most other franchises.
The Nets, however, don’t want to be better than most. They want to be the best of the best, NBA champions, and champions keep their affairs in order.

Russia pummels port of Odesa in attempt to disrupt supplies
By ELENA BECATOROS and JON GAMBRELL
ZAPORIZHZHIA, Ukraine (AP) — Russia pummeled the vital port of Odesa, Ukrainian officials said Tuesday, in an apparent effort to disrupt supply lines and Western weapons shipments as Ukraine’s foreign minister appeared to suggest the country could expand its war aims.
With the war now in its 11th week and Kyiv bogging down Russian forces and even staging a counteroffensive, Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba seemed to indicate that the country could go beyond merely pushing Russia back to areas it or its allies held on the day of the Feb. 24 invasion.
The idea reflected Ukraine’s ability to stymie a larger, better-armed Russian military, which has surprised many who had anticipated a much quicker end to the conflict.
One of the most dramatic examples of Ukraine’s ability to prevent easy victories is in Mariupol, where Ukrainian fighters remained holed up at a steel plant, denying Russia’s full control of the city. The regiment defending the plant said Russian warplanes continued bombarding it.
In recent days, the United Nations and Red Cross organized a rescue of what some officials said were the last civilians trapped at the plant. But two officials said Tuesday that about 100 were believed to still be in the complex’s underground tunnels. Others said that was impossible to confirm.
In another example of the grisly toll of the war, Ukrainian officials said they found the bodies of 44 civilians in the rubble of a building destroyed weeks ago in the northeastern city of Izyum.
New U.N. figures, meanwhile, said that 14 million Ukrainians were forced from their homes by the end of April, including more than 5.9 million who have left the country.
In Washington, a top U.S. intelligence official testified Tuesday that eight to 10 Russian generals have been killed in the war. Lt. Gen. Scott Berrier, who leads the Defense Intelligence Agency, told a Senate committee that because Russia lacks a noncommissioned officer corps, its generals have to go into combat zones and end up in dangerous positions.
Ukraine said Russian forces fired seven missiles Monday at Odesa, hitting a shopping center and a warehouse in the country’s largest port. One person was killed and five wounded, the military said.
Images showed a burning building and debris — including a tennis shoe — in a heap of destruction in the city on the Black Sea. Mayor Gennady Trukhanov later visited the warehouse and said it “had nothing in common with military infrastructure or military objects.”
Ukraine alleged at least some of the munitions used dated to the Soviet era, making them unreliable in targeting. Ukrainian, British and U.S. officials say Russia is rapidly using up its stock of precision weapons, raising the risk of more imprecise rockets being used as the conflict grinds on.
Since President Vladimir Putin’s forces failed to take Kyiv early in the war, his focus has shifted to the eastern industrial heartland of the Donbas — but one general has suggested Moscow’s aims also include cutting Ukraine’s maritime access to both the Black and Azov seas.
That would also give it a swath of territory linking Russia to both the Crimean Peninsula, which it seized in 2014, and Transnistria, a pro-Moscow region of Moldova.
Even if it falls short of severing Ukraine from the coast — and it appears to lack the forces to do so — continuing missile strikes on Odesa reflect the city’s strategic importance. The Russian military has repeatedly targeted its airport and claimed it destroyed several batches of Western weapons.
Odesa is also a major gateway for grain shipments, and its blockade by Russia already threatens global food supplies. Beyond that, the city is a cultural jewel, dear to Ukrainians and Russians alike, and targeting it carries symbolic significance as well.
In Mariupol, Russians also bombarded the Azovstal steel mill, the Azov regiment said, targeting the sprawling complex 34 times in the past 24 hours. Attempts to storm the plant also continued, it said.
Petro Andryushchenko, an adviser to Mariupol’s mayor, estimated on social media that at least 100 civilians are trapped in the plant. Donetsk regional Gov. Pavlo Kyrylenko said those who remain are people “that the Russians have not selected” for evacuation.
The two officials did not say how they knew civilians were still in the complex — a warren of tunnels and bunkers spread over 11 square kilometers (4 square miles).
Fighters with the Azov regiment released photos of their wounded comrades inside the plant, including some with amputated limbs. They said the wounded were living in unsanitary conditions “with open wounds bandaged with non-sterile remnants of bandages, without the necessary medication and even food.”
In its statement on Telegram, the regiment appealed to the U.N and Red Cross to evacuate the wounded servicemen to Ukrainian-controlled territories.
The photos could not be independently verified.
With Russian forces struggling to gain ground in the Donbas, military analysts suggest that hitting Odesa might serve to stoke concern about southwestern Ukraine, thus forcing Kyiv to put more forces there. That would pull them away from the eastern front as Ukraine’s military stages counteroffensives near the northeastern city of Kharkiv, aiming to push the Russians back across the border there.
Kharkiv and the surrounding area has been under sustained Russian attack since the early in the war. In recent weeks, grisly pictures testified to the horrors of those battles, with charred and mangled bodies strewn in one street.
Dozens of bodies were found in a five-story building that collapsed in March in Izyum, about 120 kilometers (75 miles) from Kharkiv, said Oleh Synehubov, the head of the regional administration.
But Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Tuesday that the military was gradually pushing Russian troops away from Kharkiv. The Ukrainian military’s general staff said its forces drove the Russians out of four villages to the northeast of Kharkiv as it tries to push them back toward the Russian border.
Kuleba, the Ukrainian foreign minister, meanwhile, appeared to voice increasing confidence — and expanded goals — amid Russia’s stalled offensive.
“In the first months of the war, the victory for us looked like withdrawal of Russian forces to the positions they occupied before Feb. 24 and payment for inflicted damage,” Kuleba said in an interview with the Financial Times. “Now if we are strong enough on the military front, and we win the battle for Donbas, which will be crucial for the following dynamics of the war, of course the victory for us in this war will be the liberation of the rest of our territories.”
The comments seemed to reflect political ambitions more than battlefield realities: Many analysts acknowledge that although Russia isn’t capable of making quick gains, the Ukrainian military isn’t strong enough to drive the Russians back.
Zelenskyy used his nightly address to pay tribute to Leonid Kravchuk, the first president of an independent Ukraine, who died Tuesday at 88. Zelenskyy said Kravchuk showed courage and knew how to get the country to listen to him.
That was particularly important in “crisis moments, when the future of the whole country may depend on the courage of one man,” said Zelenskyy, whose own communication skills and decision to remain in Kyiv when it came under Russian attack have helped make him a strong wartime leader.
In the U.S., President Joe Biden signed a bipartisan measure Monday to reboot the World War II-era “lend-lease” program, which helped defeat Nazi Germany, to bolster Kyiv and its allies.

Brittney Griner detained in Russia as Mercury opens season
PHOENIX (AP)The purple-and-orange throng snaked its way through the maze of barricades that fill downtown Phoenix these days, excitement growing with each step toward the Footprint Center.

AT&T today announced the launch of a new location-based routing system for emergency calls in the United States, with the system designed to transmit wireless 911 calls to the appropriate 911 call centers based on a device's GPS location.
According to AT&T, this is the first-ever nationwide location-based routing initiative, which it is launching in partnership with Intrado. AT&T says that the "Locate Before Route" feature will allow AT&T to identify where a 911 call is coming from within 50 meters of a device's location.
The GPS-based routing is an improvement over prior 911 call routing that relied on the location of cell towers, which can cover up to a 10-mile radius, resulting in slower emergency response times. With calls directed to the appropriate 911 call centers, first responders can get to the correct location more quickly.
AT&T is paving the way to create safer communities and is the only carrier to provide the most accurate solution to reduce wireless 9-1-1 call transfers beyond what the FCC is requiring carriers today. This is especially important in an emergency when lives are on the line.
AT&T has started rolling out the GPS-based routing system, and it is live in Alaska, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming, Kansas, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota and Guam. It will be coming to additional regions over the next several weeks, and the nationwide rollout is scheduled to be completed by the end of June. | https://www.macrumors.com/2022/05/10/att-device-gps-911-call-routing/ | 2022-05-11T00:18:50Z | https://www.macrumors.com/2022/05/10/att-device-gps-911-call-routing/ | false | 1 |
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored twice as Barcelona tightened their grip on second place in La Liga on Tuesday with a 3-1 win at home to Celta Vigo.
But Barca’s victory was overshadowed by a nasty head injury to defender Ronald Araujo, who had to be taken away in an ambulance in the 64th minute of the match.
Araujo was lifted into the ambulance on a stretcher, wearing a neck brace. Barcelona confirmed the 23-year-old “suffered a concussion and has been taken to the hospital to undergo further testing”.
After the game, Barca coach Xavi Hernandez said: “The doctor has told us he is conscious. He will spend the night in hospital but he is out of danger.
“The doctor said we shouldn’t worry, that he will spend the night in hospital as a precaution, nothing more.”
Araujo’s injury came after he and Gavi banged heads challenging for the same ball. Araujo stumbled on for a few seconds before dropping to the floor as a concerned Iago Aspas and Eric Garcia called urgently for the medics.
The Uruguayan was put into the recovery position and after a few minutes, he was lifted into an ambulance that had driven onto the pitch.
Aubameyang’s double either side of half-time came after Memphis Depay had opened the scoring at Camp Nou. Celta pulled one back through Aspas but any hopes of a comeback were dashed when Jeison Murillo was sent off just before the hour.
“We were effective but we didn’t play well,” said Xavi. “It was simpler against 10 men but we struggled against 11.”
Barca move seven points ahead of Sevilla and eight in front of Atletico Madrid, with Sevilla and Atletico playing each other at the Wanda Metropolitano on Sunday.
Real Madrid, who have already been crowned champions, sit nine points clear of Xavi Hernandez’s side at the top of the table, with a game in hand.

Securing qualification for next season’s Champions League last weekend means Xavi’s primary objective has already been achieved but the club’s dire financial situation means the team can still not afford to let up.
Every place towards the top of La Liga is worth around seven million euros while qualifying for the four-team Spanish Super Cup by finishing in the top two is worth another eight million euros to the Catalans.
– Electric Aubameyang –
They should have the runners-up spot sewn up after another victory that owed much to Aubameyang, the 32-year-old scoring his 12th and 13th goals since joining Barcelona from Arsenal in January.
Aubameyang’s electric early form has slowed a little in recent weeks but it is hard to think of a Barca player who has made a bigger contribution to their resurgence in the second half of the season.
Depay’s game-time has suffered as a result of Aubameyang’s form but they both started against Celta and it was Depay who gave the hosts the lead in the 30th minute, sweeping in after s superb run down the right by Ousmane Dembele.
Depay then turned provider for Aubameyang’s first as he latched onto Jordi Alba’s through ball and crossed for his Gabonese teammate to finish on the turn four minutes before half-time.
Three minutes after the restart, it was three as Dembele repeated his earlier trick, driving down the right, rolling left, this time for the sprinting Aubameyang to steer into the corner.
Aspas capitalised on a Barcelona error as Araujo was caught on his heels after Marc-Andre ter Stegen passed out to him in the penalty area. But eight minutes later, Murillo was sent off for preventing Depay from going through and Celta’s momentum was gone.
Real Betis had earlier kept their top-four hopes alive by easing to a 3-0 win away at Valencia. Willian Jose, Sergio Canales and Borja Iglesias all scored goals in the second half.
Betis closed the gap to Atletico Madrid in fourth to three points, with Atletico playing a game in hand away at Elche on Wednesday.

- Aterian’s (ATER) history of underperforming sets up a potential short squeeze.
- Its high volatility exacerbates the potential for downward movement.
- High growth has led to accolades, bolstering its investment case.
There are a lot of reasons to believe Aterian (NASDAQ:ATER) stock is strictly one to avoid at the moment. That said, let’s find the hope in ATER stock despite the overall environment.
One of the foremost reasons it is considered risky is that it is a stereotypical growth company. 2022 is a year that hasn’t been kind to growth stocks owing to the massive inflation we are currently experiencing. The higher inflation rises, the more likely the Federal Reserve is to increase interest rates.
Historically, when that happens, growth stocks decline. That’s true because growth stocks like Aterian typically have strong top-line growth but also widening losses. Investors become less willing to direct their capital towards such companies as monetary policy becomes tighter as it did on May 4. The tighter monetary policy becomes the harder it is for growth companies to access the capital required for growth because their losses become less acceptable.
A Perfect Growth Play
Aterian is a perfect example of one such company. In 2021, its revenues increased to above $247 million from $185 million a year earlier. But its net losses of $63 million dollars in 2020 ballooned to nearly $235 million by the end of 2021.
So, it is a perfect growth play which suggests that it should be avoided presently. But it may have the ability to surprise. And that opens up the possibility for retail investors to make money off of Aterian by playing its short squeeze potential.
For that to happen traders have to bet that the stock will move downward and the stock then moves upward. That could happen when the company releases earnings. Currently less than 20% of the company’s float is shorted. That’s right near the traditional cut-off where short squeezes typically occur.
All that has to happen is for the company to surprise the market.
Aterian’s Surprise Potential
The company has already shown that it can do exactly that. Last quarter, the company was expected to produce earnings per share (EPS) figures of -27 cents per share. It surprised the market, producing an EPS of -11 cents.
So, if the company does that again this quarter then a short squeeze could ensue. Prices would rise on the EPS beat and that 20% of the float betting against the company might then have to cover their position which could trigger a short squeeze.
And even if the company doesn’t provide an EPS surprise this quarter there could be other news that triggers a sharp upward price spike. Yes, this is somewhat of a perfect storm scenario but the company and its stock are highly volatile. In market terms that’s called beta.
And according to Yahoo Finance, Aterian is a very volatile company based on its beta of 2.7. A beta of 2.7 means that the stock has the potential to move upward or downward 170% quicker than an average stock. That’s another indicator that the stock has the potential for a short squeeze to occur.
Cautious Optimism and What to Do With ATER Stock
Am I saying that retail investors should go out and bet the farm short squeeze in Aterian? No. But I think retail investors are looking for reasons to find optimism and beaten-down growth stocks like this one. In that short squeeze potential is one such reason for optimism.
That said, it’s important to understand what the company does and some of the accolades that it is recently received. The company builds and acquires e-commerce brands end cells those branded products on e-commerce sites such as Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and eBay (NASDAQ:EBAY) among others.
It’s no secret that supply chains are snarled all around the world. That doesn’t bode well for the company in getting its products to customers easily. However, Aterian recently received recognition for its growth over the last few years. That at least suggests it is a strong performer.
ATER stock is going to remain a short squeeze play and buying now could yield quick gains. Exercise cautious optimism and proceed accordingly.

There is real joy in experiencing the sound of a raucous exhaust note. Unfortunately for all the drivers out there, cars sound quite different depending on whether you’re actually inside or not. Ford filed a patent with the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) that might just solve this problem: a remote-controlled system for revving your engine.
The patent, published by the USPTO on May 5, was initially filed back in November. The filing is incredibly detailed relative to other automotive patents, with pages worth of text describing the system’s intended functions. According to the documents, owners will be able to send a command to their vehicle via a controller of some kind, be that your phone, your key fob, or even voice commands. This command is then processed by the vehicle’s body control module, before a request is passed along to the powertrain control module. The PCM then manipulates the engine to produce sounds as desired. Owners can reportedly ask the car to rev the engine in accordance with a number of different parameters, including up to a specific engine speed, in a specific pattern, or with a different tone than normal.
The documents filed with the patent feature a drawing of the Ford Mustang, which isn’t all that surprising. You’d expect Mustang owners to beg for a way to rev it when they're not in it. That said, Ford doesn’t intend to limit this system to gas engines. The filing notes that the system could indeed be utilized by an EV, specifically with the intention of increasing customer interest among the more traditional enthusiast crowd. Customers would be able to utilize the EV’s speaker system to simulate revs from a number of different real and fictional powertrains, even including flux capacitor.
“The request may activate emission of a user-selectable sound, as provided by an audio file stored on a memory of a vehicle controller, through a sound system of the vehicle. The user-selectable sound may include, for example, an engine revving sound, a turbine sound, or a flux capacitor sound. Already existing audio output devices, such as speakers and subwoofers located in various regions of the vehicle may be leveraged to play the engine revving sound.”
While being able to command revs from your pony car from a distance is absolutely a gimmick, the electric vehicle applications of this patent are more intriguing. There is no denying how blasé EVs sound, and automakers know they need to find some way to tempt the gearheads out there. Maybe this will do it.

Shoppers at major supermarket Woolworths can now scan a code to both check-in and check out, with the retailer being the first to roll out QR code payments across their stores nationally.
Customers will be able to link their chosen payment method to a digital wallet, through the company’s Everyday Rewards app. Scanning the QR code at checkout will then process the payment and scan the customers’ loyalty card simultaneously, with a receipt being sent to their phone afterwards.
QR code payments were touted as the next step in Australia’s payments landscape late last year, with major payments service Eftpos saying the option could become as prevalent as tap-and-go given how comfortable consumers are with using the technology in light of the pandemic.
Woolworths’ managing director of Everyday Rewards, Hannah Ross, told The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald the ubiquity of QR codes post-COVID was a significant factor in the company’s decision.
“We’ve seen a big shift in digital adoption as customers are feeling more comfortable scanning QR codes while on the move, which we weren’t really doing so much before the pandemic,” she said. “The ability to pay with a QR code now seems so much more normal than it did years ago.” | https://www.watoday.com.au/business/markets/asx-to-edge-lower-on-mixed-wall-st-lead-20220510-p5ak4r.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_feed | 2022-05-11T00:41:13Z | https://www.watoday.com.au/business/markets/asx-to-edge-lower-on-mixed-wall-st-lead-20220510-p5ak4r.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_feed | true | 2 |
Elon Musk said Twitter would reverse its ban of former President Donald Trump if his purchase of the social media company goes through, signaling just how permissive the platform could become toward free speech under his ownership.
Speaking virtually at an auto conference, Musk said Tuesday that Twitter’s ban of Trump following the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol was a “morally bad decision” and “foolish in the extreme.”
“I think that was a mistake because it alienated a large part of the country and did not ultimately result in Donald Trump not having a voice,” said Musk, adding that he preferred temporary suspensions and other narrowly tailored punishments for content that is illegal or otherwise “destructive to the world.”
Twitter co-founder and former CEO Jack Dorsey voiced his agreement in a Tuesday tweet in which he said “generally permanent bans are a failure of ours and don’t work.”
Shares of Twitter dropped 1.5% Tuesday to $47.24 per share. That’s 13 percent below the offer of $54.20 per share — or $44 billion — that Musk made on April 14, a reflection of Wall Street’s concerns that the deal could still fall through. Musk emphasized Tuesday that it is “certainly not a done deal.”
Musk has repeatedly criticized Twitter’s content moderation decisions, including banning Trump for “incitement of violence,” but had mostly avoided saying what he would do about Trump’s account. He was pressed for more details Tuesday by Peter Campbell, an automotive correspondent for the Financial Times, which hosted the auto conference.
“If Musk is concerned that many people were upset that Trump was banned, he should see how many more people would be upset if Trump was not banned,” said Kirsten Martin, a professor of technology ethics at the University of Notre Dame. “Musk only appears to be worried about the opinion of a small group of individuals who incite violence or perpetuate hate speech.”
Trump has previously said that he had no intention of rejoining Twitter even if his account was reinstated, telling Fox News last month that he would instead focus on his own platform, Truth Social, which has been mired in problems since its launch earlier this year.
A Trump spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment in response to Musk’s remarks.
While Trump was president, his Twitter persona functioned as a mix of policy announcements, often out of the blue; complaints about the media; disparagement of women, minorities and his perceived enemies; and praise for his supporters, replete with exclamation marks, all-caps, and one-word declarations such as “Sad!”
He fired numerous officials on Twitter and his posts, like his speeches at rallies, were a torrent of misinformation.
In announcing its ban of Trump in 2021, Twitter said his tweets amounted to glorification of violence when read in the context of the Capitol riot and plans circulating online for future armed protests around the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden.
Musk’s remarks Tuesday raise questions about whether those banned besides Trump could also return. The long list of people banned from Twitter includes QAnon loyalists, COVID deniers, neo-Nazis and former reality star Tila Tequila, who was suspended for hate speech.
Other Trump allies kicked off Twitter include Michael Flynn and Sidney Powell, Lin Wood and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who was permanently banned in January for repeatedly spreading misinformation about COVID-19 and vaccine safety.
White supremacist David Duke and the often violent Proud Boys organization have been banned, along with far-right trolls like one who goes by the name Baked Alaska, who promoted anti-Semitic tropes and faces charges stemming from his involvement in the Jan. 6 attack.
Alex Jones, the creator of Infowars, was permanently banned in 2018 for abusive behavior. Last year, Jones lost a defamation case filed by the parents of children killed in the 2012 Newtown, Connecticut, school shooting over Jones’ repeated claims that the shooting was fake.
Twitter, Musk said Tuesday, currently has a strong bias to the left, largely because it is located in San Francisco. This alleged bias prevents it from building trust in the rest of the U.S. and the world, he said: “It’s far too random and I think Twitter needs to be much more even handed.”
Twitter did not respond to a request for comment on Musk’s comments.
Earlier on Tuesday, Musk said he supported a new European Union law aimed at protecting social media users from harmful content after he met with the bloc’s single market chief.
EU Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton told The Associated Press on Tuesday that he outlined to Musk how the bloc’s online regulations aim to uphold free speech while also making sure whatever is illegal “will be forbidden in the digital space,” which Musk “fully agreed with.”
In a video Breton tweeted late Monday, Musk said the two had a “great discussion” and that he agrees with the Digital Services Act, which is expected to get final approval later this year. It will make big tech companies like Twitter, Google and Facebook parent Meta police their platforms more strictly for illegal or harmful content like hate speech and disinformation or face billions in fines.

Well, this was a quick turnaround for Prince William. Poor sausage had TWO events in one day and they weren’t even in the same city. This morning, William attended the State Opening of Parliament, standing behind (in order) the Marquess of Cholmondeley (aka Rose Hanbury’s husband), Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall. William sat off to the side as Charles performed “the Queen’s speech” for the opening. Then William hopped on a plane or helicopter (probably a helicopter) with Kate and headed off to Manchester.
What was in Manchester? William and Kate went to The Glade of Light Memorial Garden to honor the victims of the 2017 Manchester Arena terrorist attack. That was the awful bombing and attack on little girls at the Ariana Grande concert. It’s been five years. The Glade of Light Memorial Garden has been open since January, so this was not really “the opening” of the memorial. Still, I’m glad William and Kate were sent to (sort of) mark the anniversary (which was actually May 22, 2017).
Kate’s coatdress is Michael Kors and it’s a repeat. She’s reworn this coat several times for some reason. Given the event… I would have thought a darker color? It doesn’t have to be a mournful black, but a dark navy would have worked well here. And lord knows, she easily has 50 navy coats. She does this a lot, she wears lighter colors – even bright colors – to solemn occasions. I’ll never forget when she wore hot pink to the 9/11 Memorial.
