GAITHERSBURG, Md. (AP) — Four Maryland police officers won’t be charged in the fatal shooting of a 21-year-old Black man in a McDonald’s drive-thru last summer, officials said.
The Montgomery County’s State’s Attorney’s Office announced Monday that an investigation by prosecutors in neighboring Howard County into Ryan LeRoux's July 2021 death was complete and a grand jury found the shooting was legally justified under the circumstances, news outlets reported.
Officers were called to the McDonald’s in Gaithersburg on July 16 for a report of a person refusing to leave the drive-thru line. An officer found LeRoux reclined in the driver’s seat with headphones on and both hands on his cellphone. The officer said over the radio that he saw a gun on the front passenger seat and asked LeRoux several times to open the passenger-side door, but he did not, officials said.
Officers negotiated with LeRoux for half an hour. Then, when several officers said LeRoux pointed that gun at police, officers fired. Based on the body camera footage, prosecutors said it was not clear if LeRoux was holding a gun or a cellphone.
“He sat up, and he extended his arm in a straight, locked way towards the police, his right arm,” Howard County state’s Attorney Rich Gibson said. “We know that to be the case. The question is, what was in his hand?”
A gun and a cellphone were found in LeRoux’s lap after the shooting, prosecutors said. A crisis negotiator was on the way, but did not arrive before the shooting, prosecutors said.
LeRoux’s father, Paul LeRoux, and activists have protested, saying the situation should have been resolved without deadly force.
“Rhonda and I are deeply saddened that four Montgomery County Police Department officers met our African-American son’s cry for help with 23 shots fired. Ryan LeRoux was in the midst of a mental health crisis — not a crime. The MCPD knew that Ryan needed help — not bullets,” LeRoux said in a statement Monday.
County police said all four officers have been returned to full-time, active duty status and there will be an internal investigation.

Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte undercard confirmed as Love Island star brother Tommy makes return with fans unimpressed
TOMMY FURY has been announced on the undercard of Tyson Fury's heavyweight clash with Dillian Whyte on April 23.
The Love Island star will take on Polish fighter Daniel Bocianski before big brother Tyson headlines the event.
Tommy, 22, was originally scheduled to face YouTube sensation Jake Paul back in December, but pulled out at short notice due to injury and illness.
He will now resume his unbeaten 7-0 boxing career against 28-year-old Bocianski.
And he could be in for the toughest test of his career, with Bocianski boasting a 10-1 professional record.
But fans are far from impressed with the undercard put together by promoter Frank Warren.
One blasted: "Horrendous undercard. This is where Eddie [Hearn] outshines other promoters."
Meanwhile another added: "Awful card for what’s meant to be the biggest all British heavyweight in history and one of the biggest fights of the year."
Also featuring on the card are:
- Anthony Cacace vs Jonathan Romero
- Isaac Lowe vs Nick Ball
- David Adeleye vs Chris Healey
Tommy last fought in August 2021, easing to a unanimous decision victory over Anthony Taylor on the undercard of Paul's first fight against Tyron Woodley.

He started his training camp for his next fight last month, teasing a return on the undercard of brother Tyson's fight with Whyte.
And now he has been confirmed to face the relatively unknown Bocianski on April 23 at Wembley.
Tommy has won all seven of his fights - four by stoppage - but has been criticised for the lack of difficult tests he has faced.

Mayor says prioritizing family and life balance is her priority
Richfield Mayor Maria Regan Gonzalez surprised many in the city when she announced via social media on March 31 that she would not be seeking reelection to another term.
“It is with both gratitude and difficulty that I share I will not be seeking re-election this fall. Thank you to the Richfield community for the opportunity to lead by your side,” she wrote on Facebook.
Regan Gonzalez, the state’s first Latina mayor, included with that statement a “Letter to the Richfield Community,” where she wrote, “For the past five and a half years, I have had the pleasure and privilege of serving the city of Richfield: first through two years as a city councilmember, followed by the last three and a half years as mayor. With my current four-year mayoral term coming to a close at the end of this year, I will not seek re-election this fall.”
Regan Gonzalez served as mayor through a pandemic that raised all sorts of issues, especially for the leaders of local governmental units trying to keep services running for the residents.
“During this time (which included incredibly challenging and unprecedented circumstances in our community and society), we have worked together advancing innovative and creative ways to address our most pressing challenges while simultaneously lifting up the talents and contributions of our residents and our community’s assets.”
In the letter, Regan Gonzalez illustrates some of the accomplishments of the city during her time. “We have made our parks and programming more accessible to people, and have led the way in building and modeling a transportation system for the future. We have taken significant steps to embed environmental sustainability and equity within everything we do as a city,” she wrote.
Regan Gonzalez struck a further note of pride in writing, “From revitalizing community spaces, launching new small businesses and advocacy groups to creating art and neighborhood connections, these collective successes will benefit our community for generations.”
In concluding by thanking city staff, businesses, community-based organizations and residents, Regan Gonzalez said she was privileged to have been “working with and leading alongside you.”
She lastly thanked her family and all who have supported her, and concluded, “I plan to continue my commitment to building healthy and inclusive communities in a way that also allows me to prioritize my family and find greater balance.”

For years, Yoko Ono was known as the one who split up the Beatles.
But for anyone who’s seen the 2021 documentary, The Beatles: Get Back, that rumor has far been overblown. Ono was John Lennon’s partner, lover, and muse, in many ways, but split up the band? No.
As a result, Ono has been enjoying (we hope) a bit of a renaissance. Artists have been covering her songs and many in the press have been speaking highly of her.
But because of the bad opinions of Ono for the past 50-plus years, many don’t know her thoughts on the world at large, on life and love and creativity. So, we thought, let’s explore what the musician and visual artist had to say about those subjects here.
So, without further ado, let’s dive into the best 35 Yoko Ono quotes.
1. “A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.”
2. “Smile in the mirror. Do that every morning and you’ll start to see a big difference in your life.”
3. “You change the world by being yourself.”
4. “Nobody’s life is a bed of roses. We all have crosses to bear, and we all just do our best. I would never claim to have the worst situation. There are many widows, and many people dying of AIDS, many people killed in Lebanon, people starving all over the planet. So we have to count our lucky stars.”
5. “There’s a long life ahead of you and it’s going to be beautiful, as long as you keep loving and hugging each other.”
6. “Every drop in the ocean counts.”
7. “Healing yourself is connected with healing others.”
8. “I realized that if my thoughts immediately affect my body, I should be careful about what I think. Now if I get angry, I ask myself why I feel that way. If I can find the source of my anger, I can turn that negative energy into something positive.”
9, “The regret of my life is that I have not said I love you often enough.”
10. “The computer is my favorite invention. I feel lucky to be part of the global village. I don’t mean to brag, but I’m so fast with technology. People think it all seems too much, but we’ll get used to it. I’m sure it all seemed too much when we were learning to walk.”

The Candice Cameron Bure team! The Fuller House graduate has three adult children with her husband Valerie Bure, and she likes to share her life on social networks.
The actress became a mother in 1998, when her daughter Natasha was born with a former professional hockey player. The “Full House” graduate received “a lot of feedback” as a young mom, she told viewers of the “Today” show 20 years later.
“People listened to me about what was right and what was wrong,” the Los Angeles native explained in June 2018. “I will say that now my children are teenagers, I can look at my children and see that my parenting style has worked perfectly. for my children. Different things work for different people. Every life is different. No two people have the same experience. So go to the people you love and trust the most… and really disconnect from the rest. You may have to turn off social media!”
Candice and the athlete welcomed sons Lev and Maxim in 2000 and 2002, respectively, and the graduate of Dancing with the Stars took a break from acting to raise her offspring.
“It was so hard. I felt useless,” the Kind Is the New Classy author said during the release of the “Motherly” podcast in November 2020. “I felt like I got all these things in life, whatever it was, whatever skills God gave me. And I thought: “I don’t use them.” …And it was like [fans] were always disappointed, which in turn made me feel even more like, “Oh my gosh, being a mom … I’m “just” a mom. Like, it’s not appreciated by society.”
The faith of the former View co-host subsequently “worked,” she continued.
“I started reading the Bible and thought, ‘I need confirmation. I mean, it’s the truth. I need a check. I don’t feel like I understand it,” the author of “Dance Through Life” explained at the time. “Although I got it from my husband. But I didn’t feel like I was getting it from any other place in life that I always got approval from. God appreciates me, whether I’m a housewife, whether I have a successful career or I do absolutely nothing all day, he loves me no matter what, I don’t need to prove anything to him.”

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Ten families are suing CSX Transportation for up to $450 million over flooding that killed 20 people in Tennessee last year, claiming a clog underneath the railroad giant's bridge in rural Waverly allowed a “deadly tidal wave” to form.
The lawsuit filed Tuesday in circuit court in Humphreys County claims the bottlenecked culvert and the earthen railbed supporting CSX's elevated tracks formed a man-made dam, impeding the normal flow of Trace Creek. When the railbed collapsed, it released a "a torrent of millions of gallons of water" during the August 2021 floods, the lawsuit says.
In a statement, CSX declined to comment on specifics of the lawsuit, but called the rain in August 2021 an “an unprecedented and extraordinary event," while offering their “most heartfelt thoughts" to the families affected. The company said its track and related infrastructure are “maintained and regularly inspected in accordance with CSX policies, which meet or exceed federal regulations.”
More than 500 homes and 50 businesses suffered damage, as gushing water swept people away and left others stranded on trees, in attics and on rooftops. The National Weather Service said nearly 21 inches (53 centimeters) of rain fell in 24 hours in nearby McEwen, a 24-hour total precipitation record for the state of Tennessee.
The lawsuit claims CSX knew its culvert regularly plugged up with debris and could turn its tracks into a dangerous dam because the company experienced the problem elsewhere, including in New York state, where floods occurred in July 2021 and state officials threatened to sue in 2019 over a culvert issue.
The lawsuit also names nearby residents James and Sherry Hughey as defendants, alleging they let CSX use their property as a basin for water that would pool behind the tracks and to store debris they removed from the culvert on the creek bank, which the next heavy rain would wash back into the creek, blocking the culvert again.
“Inevitably, without the free flow of water through the Culvert, the pressure of millions of gallons of water diverted from the rain-swelled Trace Creek caused a sudden failure of CSX’s Railbed Dam, releasing a deadly wall of water into the heart of Waverly," the lawsuit says.
A voicemail left with a number listed for James Hughey was not immediately returned.
The families who sued include some who lost loved ones in the rush of water. The lawsuit claims CSX had ample warning from meteorologists about an impending deluge of rain and even saw part of a railbed in nearby McEwen collapse from stormwater earlier on the day of the floods.
The lawsuit alleges that CSX's “only action in response to the washout of its tracks near McEwen was to protect its own economic interests by suspending its train operations around Waverly.”
“This initial washout near McEwen occurred hours before the Railbed Dam near the Trace Creek Bridge catastrophically failed, which, again, afforded CSX hours to act to remove any debris clogging the Culvert; and, if this task proved too great, more than sufficient time to pick up a phone and warn Waverly’s police and emergency responders of the imminent danger facing the community,” the lawsuit says.
One of the plaintiffs, Matthew Rigney, said in a news release that he managed to find his two older kids when 7 feet (2.1 meters) of water crashed into his house, but his 7-month-old twins drowned.
"Every day since, I’ve been wracked with guilt that I couldn’t protect them, but I believe that guilt should rest with CSX,” Rigney said.
The city of Waverly and its residents are still grappling with the aftermath of the floods.
State officials are moving forward with plans to relocate Waverly Elementary and Waverly Junior High, which suffered damage during floods — luckily, not on a school day.
Humphreys County commissioners have said they won’t push to rebuild a low-income public housing complex near the creek after families testified that they don’t want to go back.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has announced a study of the creek in the wake of the floods.
And the U.S. Department of Agriculture plans to study whether improvements through the Watershed and Flood Prevention Operations Program could help curb flooding in Trace Creek in Humphreys County, and specifically in Waverly.

ReVAMP is Confidant Health's New DIY Behavior Change Program
HARTFORD, Conn., April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Confidant Health unveiled ReVAMP, a DIY behavior change system, today as a new JAMA study confirmed the deadly impact of drug and alcohol use during the pandemic. Alcohol-related deaths increased by 25% in 2020, resulting in more deaths from alcohol than COVID-19 among individuals under the age of 65. Opioid overdose deaths increased by a staggering 38%, with overdoses from stimulants such as cocaine and methamphetamine also on the rise. Millennials (25-44) are driving these trends for both drug overdoses and alcohol. ReVAMP provides millennials with digital support to reduce or eliminate their drinking and/or drug use.
Dr. John Kelly, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and the director of the Recovery Research Institute at Massachusetts General Hospital noted in a recent New York Times article on addiction that, "What we are doing now is not sufficient. We need to help people live meaningful purpose-filled lives." He also suggested that new approaches to addiction were necessary to educate people on how to handle stress effectively.
ReVAMP is a free self-guided tool offered within Confidant Health's app. Individuals answer questions about their goals, which may include changing drinking or drug use, or quitting entirely, or focused on improving their quality of life. The platform then generates a personalized plan, including DIY therapeutic tools, healthbots, and sometimes connections to prescribers or therapists when clinically indicated. By placing the person at the center of the program and using data to drive the consumption of 600+ pieces of interactive content, ReVAMP serves as an effective means by which to reduce excessive drinking or drug use and curb the deaths highlighted in the JAMA study.
Confidant Health's team of technologists, therapists, coaches and prescribers worked in tandem to create the tool. It is powered by the latest research into:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
- Positive Psychology
- Neuroscience
- Transtheoretical Model (Stages of Change); and
- Motivational Interviewing
Confidant Health Co-Founder and Chief Quality Officer Sam Arsenault Wilson stated, "Nearly every American has been impacted by harms related to drug and alcohol use. But few know how to get help. ReVAMP leverages technology to provide curated support that is judgment-free, highly accessible, and backed by science to help people change their alcohol and drug use and lead healthier lives."
ReVAMP is now available as a part of the Confidant Health app. For more information on ReVAMP, visit confidanthealth.com/revamp.

Benfica XI of former stars would fight for Champions League after selling £450m worth of talent in the last decade
BENFICA'S business model of buy low, sell high has delivered domestic success but the £450million worth of talent leaving the club could have deprived them of greater glory.
A stunning array of star players have passed through the Lisbon club's doors over the past decade, showcasing their eye for a gem.
An impressive XI can be constructed from former Benfica men - with plenty left spare.
The 2019 summer deal for Joao Felix, with Atletico Madrid paying £115m, represents by far their biggest sale but a mega 15 players left for between £20m and £35m in the past 10 years.
Manchester City's defensive stalwart Ruben Dias is the next most expensive exit after arriving in a £64m deal to shatter David Luiz's £22m effort.
His team-mate goalkeeper Ederson follows with a defence of Nelson Semedo, Victor Lindelof and Fabio Coentrao banking Benfica £87m combined.
A pairing of Axel Witsel and Renato Sanches represents two central midfielders sold early on in their careers for huge profits.
And with Angel Di Maria and Goncalo Guedes joining them in a £121m midfield, there isn't even space for Nemanja Matic.
most read in football
The Serb bruiser left for Chelsea in 2014 for a 'measly' £21m, meaning he misses the cut for this line-up along with £13m playmaker Bernardo Silva.
The exit fees for Lazar Markovic, Nico Gaitan and Enzo Perez also exceeded £20m - and yet aren't enough for our XI.
Nuno Tavares swapped Benfica for Arsenal in the summer of 2021 but fails to make our XI as his bargain £7m fee is no match for the £27m banked when Coentrao joined Real Madrid back in 2011.
Up front, Felix partners Wolves' record buy Raul Jimenez to oust £27m Valencia signing Rodrigo.
Had all these players stayed, it isn't hard to imagine Benfica reaching the latter stages of the Champions League and even threatening to win the competition.
Add in the likes of Jan Oblak, Joao Cancelo and Luka Jovic and suddenly the team looks nigh-on imperious.
Sure enough, the Portuguese giants do have two European Cups to their name but a decade that saw them reach just two Champions League quarter-finals and lose a pair of Europa League finals could have been very different.

Iheanacho was benched against Ghana after failing to man-mark Partey - Eguavoen
Former Nigeria head coach Augustine Eguavoen has revealed Leicester City star Kelechi Iheanacho started from the bench in the Super Eagles game against Ghana because he failed to follow instructions in Kumasi.
The West African rivals met on March 25 for the first leg of the 2022 World Cup qualifier and settled for a goalless draw, before they drew 1-1 in Abuja two days later where the Black Stars qualified on the away goals rule.

Despite being involved in the first meeting, Iheanacho started the second game on the bench and was not involved at all.
The winger, however, played a vital role for his club, scoring the goal that forced Manchester United to a 1-1 draw, prompting some to question why he did not get a chance to feature for Nigeria in the second leg.
"Iheanacho, you saw him a few days ago, his performance against Manchester United and people were saying Iheanacho stayed too long on that field," Eguavoen said on Monday Night Football on SuperSport.
"In Kumasi, we gave Iheanacho a specific role. In as much as he's going to go up there and support [Victor] Osimhen, he has a duty to perform by stopping Thomas Partey.
"Since he didn't do that, I spoke with him. I told him he'll start from the bench and at some point he'll come in."
In Iheanacho's absence on the pitch, Arsenal midfielder Partey opened the scoring for the Black Stars in the 10th minute from just outside the 18-yard area.
However, the hosts fought back and equalised in the 22nd minute through their captain William Troost-Ekong.
Ghana will now play in their fourth World Cup in the country's history, alongside Tunisia, Cameroon, Senegal and Morocco as the other African representatives.
The 2022 edition will run from November 21 to December 18 in Qatar.

France tops mass DNA-collection in EU
France has amassed more DNA profiles than any other EU state, according to an internal EU document dated 25 March and obtained by EUobserver.
As of the end of last year, the security-centric French state has a database of over six million DNA profiles.

By comparison, Germany comes in at a distant second with 1.2 million, followed by Spain at 460,000 and the Netherlands at almost 400,000.
Out of the six million DNA profiles in France, some 800,000 are classified as not having been matched to any person.
The DNA datasets are used to help investigate criminal offences and are compared in an automated form with available DNA profiles from other EU states, says the document.
The United Kingdom has benefited the most from the French database, with almost 12,000 DNA matches last year. It is not immediately clear if these matches led to any arrests.
With the exception of Germany and Malta, the DNA datasets continue to increase among all other EU member states.
This includes France, which added another 200,000 profiles to its database over the past year alone.
The mass collection of DNA profiles in France also follows years of legislative manoeuvres that advocacy groups say pose a fundamental risk to civil liberties.
A so-called global security bill adopted last year sought to expand state surveillance and prevent people from sharing images of police officers.
Amnesty International, ahead of its adoption, said the law risked creating a dystopian surveillance state.
The civil rights groups last month, in an annual global report, again highlighted the global security law as ripe for abuse by authorities who have since cracked down on peaceful protesters.

CRISTIANO RONALDO has been tipped to quit Manchester United and create a "formidable partnership" with David Beckham at Inter Miami.
Things have not gone entirely to plan for the Portuguese superstar, 37, since returning to Old Trafford last summer.
He will go a full season without a trophy for the first in 12 years.
And there have been various public spats that led to Ronaldo being dropped for questioning his future at United.
He still has another year left to run on his initial two-year deal - but Garth Crooks reckons he should leave this summer and link up with fellow United legend and global superstar Becks.
Crooks told BBC Sport: “Old age comes to us all but its impact can be more visible in some than others.

Rooney backs Pogba to LEAVE, Van Gaal reveals he's battling cancer
"Ronaldo has scored an impressive 18 goals in 32 matches in all competitions this season but it is a far cry from his usual high standards of almost a goal every game when he was playing for Real Madrid.
"I am a huge admirer of Ronaldo.
“His professionalism is beyond reproach and he has more than fulfilled the expectations required of a 37-year-old player in the toughest league in the world.
"However, he is still a young man who needs a purpose in life.
Most read in Football
“The United States might be the place to establish that purpose.
"David Beckham and Ronaldo would make a formidable partnership in Miami.
"One thing is for sure, the five-time Ballon D'or winner doesn't need the money.”
Ronaldo has expressed his desire to play into his 40s - with the prospect of featuring alongside his son Cristiano Jr particularly appealing.
International team-mate Jose Fonte expects him to keep going beyond Euro 2024.
And for someone widely considered as one of the greatest footballers of all time, he will want to keep on delivering at the top level for as long as possible.
FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS - BEST NEW CUSTOMER OFFERS
A return to Portugal and Sporting Lisbon after United has been suggested.
But the MLS could be a more suitable option than the Middle or Far East.
Beckham himself, Wayne Rooney, Kaka and Zlatan Ibrahimovich are among the long list of elite players to have a spell stateside towards the end of their careers.
And the chance to link up with Becks and boost Inter Miami's profile on and off the pitch could be the ideal swansong for a serial winner and worldwide celebrity like Ronaldo.
The Herons - founded in 2018 - currently sit bottom of the Eastern Conference, winless this season with manager Phil Neville at risk of losing his job.
Ronaldo may even end up playing alongside Lionel Messi out there, too, with suggestions the Argentine could make a similar switch when his time at PSG is done.

WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) - Gold futures settled lower on Tuesday, weighed down by a stronger dollar and higher Treasury yields, amid expectations the Federal Reserve will start tightening its monetary policy to rein in inflation.
Remarks by Federal Reserve Governor Lael Brainard at a Minneapolis Fed conference that the central bank would start reducing its balance sheet at a 'rapid pace' as as the May meeting, pushed up the dollar and dimmed the demand for the safe-haven yellow metal.
'Given that the recovery has been considerably stronger and faster than in the previous cycle, I expect the balance sheet to shrink considerably more rapidly than in the previous recovery,' Brainard said in prepared remarks.
She added, 'The reduction in the balance sheet will contribute to monetary policy tightening over and above the expected increases in the policy rate reflected in market pricing and the Committee's Summary of Economic Projections.'
The dollar index climbed to 99.42, gaining more than 0.4%.
The yield on U.S. 10-year Treasury note rose to 2.562%. The yield on 5-year government bond climbed to 2.7% and the long-term 30-year Treasury yield rose to 2.59%.
Gold futures for June ended lower by $6.50 or about 0.3% at $1,927.50 an ounce.
Silver futures for May ended down by $0.056 at $24.534 an ounce, while Copper futures for May settled at $4.7950 per pound, up $0.0135 from the previous close.
The Fed minutes of its March meeting, due to be released on Wednesday, may provide additional clues about the outlook for monetary policy.
CME Group's FedWatch tool is currently indicating a 76.6 percent chance the Fed will raise rates by 50 basis points next month.
A report released by the Institute for Supply Management this morning showed U.S. service sector growth reaccelerated in the month of March.
The ISM said its services PMI rose to 58.3 in March from 56.5 in February, with a reading above 50 indicating growth in the sector. Economists had expected the index to rebound to 58.0.
The slightly bigger than expected increase by the services PMI follows three consecutive monthly decreases after the index reached a record high in November.
A separate report released by the Commerce Department showed the U.S. trade deficit was nearly unchanged in February, as imports and exports both increased.

ATLANTA (AP) — In the final hours of its 2022 session, Georgia's General Assembly pivoted from celebrating a towering bipartisan mental health overhaul to bitterly debating Republican efforts to ban transgender girls from playing sports — one of many about-faces in a year when the GOP is squarely focused on upcoming election primaries.
Driving the dynamic was the need for Republican Gov. Brian Kemp to shore up his conservative credentials against a challenge from former U.S. Sen. David Perdue, as well other lawmakers' bids for statewide office.
Kemp ran through a laundry list of achievements as he addressed lawmakers late Monday, calling the session “historic” and noting achievements including $5,000 pay raises for university and state employees and $2,000 raises for teachers that he proposed and lawmakers approved.
Even Democrats admitted that Republicans pushed through their agenda, including legislation allowing residents to carry handguns without a permit, making it easier for parents to challenge school materials, banning the teaching of “divisive concepts” on race and letting the Georgia Bureau of Investigation start election fraud investigations on its own.
"I do think that they have a lot to run on," said Senate Minority Leader Gloria Butler, a Stone Mountain Democrat. “That’s something that they can give to the people and say, ‘This is what we did for you.’”
But Democrats and even some Republicans warned of a right-wing Republican fringe that believes former President Donald Trump's false claims about a stolen 2020 election and baseless warnings that the mental health care bill, passed with no dissenting votes, could lead to a World Health Organization takeover of Georgia's health system.
In a March 11 speech opposing permitless carry, Democratic Rep. Josh McLaurin of Sandy Springs said he had been warned when he first came to the Capitol "that some people just want to burn the building down." But he said it now appeared that “the whole majority in the whole House wants to finally burn it down together.”
“The majority party has made the calculation that the short-term boost they get from the base outweighs the long-term damage to the brand and public policy consequences," McLaurin warned. "That is what you own tonight.”
Rep. Randy Nix, a LaGrange Republican retiring after 16 years in the House, warned against what he called “CAVE people”, or “citizens against virtually everything” in a March 25 farewell speech. He said lawmakers should rebuff noisy constituents peddling nonsense about COVID-19, election law and mental health.
“Since they have no positive agenda of their own, they love to spread outlandish conspiracy theories and outright lies to try and destroy the good and noble work that you leaders are doing here, and I want to thank you for holding strong,” Nix said.
Despite such admonishments, what McLaurin called the “drift right” dynamic was often at play.
In the face of Trump's efforts to oust him, Kemp certainly went right. He embraced bills he had shied away from last year, including one to let parents opt out of school mask mandates during the coronavirus pandemic and another to ban transgender girls from playing high school sports. Although Kemp backed permitless gun carry in his 2018 run, the issue appeared moribund until he resurrected it at the start of this year's session.
Senate President Pro Tem Butch Miller of Gainesville, who is being challenged by Trump-endorsed state Sen. Burt Jones of Jackson in the Republican primary for lieutenant governor, worked hard to prove his conservative credentials, even pushing bills that were obviously doomed. The Senate, for example, handily defeated Miller's broad school voucher bill after House Speaker David Ralston had declared the issue dead for the session. Observers noted that the vote allowed Miller to erase the memory of his own vote against an earlier voucher bill.
Appealing to the base also served many Republican incumbents after GOP-led redistricting weakened Democratic competitiveness in many Republican areas.
Some efforts could backfire. Outgoing Senate Rules Chairman Jeff Mullis, a Chickamauga Republican, championed a bill that would have banned Georgia's government from buying from Chinese government-owned companies. The bill foundered late in the session after a House amendment broadening the prohibitions raised questions about whether Georgia agencies would be banned from buying from all Chinese companies. Chinese appliance maker Haier, with a 2,600-worker stove factory in LaFayette, is one of the largest employers in Mullis' district.
Ralston, often the force for moderation, did turn back some initiatives. The House killed an abortion bill that would have required women to get an in-person exam and ultrasound before obtaining abortion pills. Ralston claimed the House ran out of time after his chamber spent long stretches of Monday doing nothing.
Democrats expressed concern about the Republicans' ongoing push for legislation aimed at satisfying extreme-right voters.
“You cannot white-knuckle the political highway for much longer,” Rep. Matthew Wilson of Brookhaven said last month. The candidate for insurance commissioner urged Republicans to stop catering to the most extreme parts of their party, saying that winning "does not require that you squeeze every last drop of power out of the loony bin.”

Ishpeming, Michigan is home to Big Gus: World's Largest Chainsaw, an attraction at a place called Da Yoopers Tourist Trap. Big Gus has a working blade that makes a nerve-wracking whirring sound when activated. 23 feet long and powered by a V-8 engine, Gus sits on top of a hill pointing out towards the highway. The video shows Big Gus in action, but not at its full speed due to the fear that the chain could accidentally fly off onto highway 41. I hope to drive by Big Gus someday.

Natgas Soars As “Big Shot Of Cold Air” Expected By Weekend
April 5, 2022 | Tags: ZEROHEDGE
Natgas Soars As "Big Shot Of Cold Air" Expected By WeekendU.S. natural gas prices jumped Tuesday after weather forecasters pointed to colder weather expected to drive up heating demand through mid-April.
Meteorologists at private weather forecaster BAMWX said a "big shot of cold air" is expected to arrive in the eastern half of the U.S. "later this week into this weekend, leading to well below normal temperatures."
Natgas futures for May delivery were up 7.5% to $6.14/MMBtu on the news.
There are freeze risks for farmers who just planted across the Midwest between Friday and Sunday. BAMWX also believes "freeze risks remain at play from the northern Plains, Midwest to Ohio Valley over the next 10-20 days."
Friday
Saturday
Sunday
BAMWX expects "conditions start to warm up early next week." However, they expect by the end of week two, "a period of colder air to have the potential to be more potent due to a snapback of the Pacific Jet and the colder MJO risks. Data has generally been trending colder over the past few runs with this signal."
Hopefully, this will be the last shot of cooler air as Midwest plantings begin.

WASHINGTON — Ivanka Trump, former President Donald Trump's daughter and among those closest to him during the insurrection at the Capitol, is set to testify Tuesday before the Jan. 6 committee, according to three people familiar with the situation.
Ivanka Trump is expected to testify virtually as the panel works to compile a record of the attack, the worst on the Capitol in more than 200 years, when the former president’s supporters interrupted the Electoral College count and tried to halt the certification of the 2020 election for Joe Biden.
Ivanka Trump was with her father much of that day, and the panel has focused much of its time on Trump’s actions in the White House as his supporters were breaking into the Capitol.
Ivanka's decision to cooperate is significant for the committee, which has been trying to secure an interview with her since late January. The panel has conducted some 800 interviews, but the one Tuesday with the former president's daughter, a trusted aid, is among the most high profile as the committee races to complete its work.
Her testimony, like others before the committee, will be private. Public hearings are expected to begin this summer. The people who spoke about her interview were granted anonymity to discuss it.
Lawmakers have said they want to discuss what Ivanka Trump knew about her father’s efforts, including a telephone call they say she witnessed, to pressure then-Vice President Mike Pence to reject those results, as well as concerns she may have heard from Pence’s staff, members of Congress and the White House counsel’s office about those efforts.
Her appearance comes less than a week after her husband, Jared Kushner, testified to the nine-member panel in a virtual meeting that lasted more than six hours. Members of the committee said his testimony was helpful and are hoping to further fill in the gaps with Ivanka Trump’s help.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (WJW) – Reality TV star Kourtney Kardashian and musician Travis Barker have said their “I dos.”

According to TMZ, the first to report the news, the couple had a marriage license and presented it to the chapel’s owner.
TMZ also reported that the couple plans to have several ceremonies to celebrate their nuptials.
Barker proposed in October 2020. PEOPLE reported on the news of Kardashian and Barker’s relationship in January 2021. The pair had been “friends for a long time” until it “turned romantic,” reported People.

Anti-solar bill a leap backward toward energy dependence
Energy independence creates economic strength.
But from an energy security perspective, Florida’s electric utilities are dangerously under-diversified. Three-fourths of the electricity Florida generates comes from natural gas. That makes families and businesses particularly susceptible to volatile utility bills.
In the face of that reality, it’s difficult to imagine a policy that would represent a larger leap backward than the recently passed anti-solar bill (HB 741). This legislation would increase Florida’s dependence on gas imports and make it harder for families to use rooftop solar to take control of their electric bills.
While most of Florida’s gas is imported from domestic sources, we still feel the ripple effect of prices on the global economy. Beginning in January, the state’s largest utility raised customer rates by $809 million due to increased fuel costs — and those costs continue to go up.
When utility companies invest in solar, they require customers to pay for it. That’s appropriate.
But when a homeowner or small business uses their own money to install rooftop solar panels, why should they be punished with new fees and charges? Those who invest in rooftop solar should reap the full benefits of an infinite and free energy source — including having the ability to offset their electricity usage through net metering.
Make no mistake: Not a single Florida family’s utility bill will go down as a result of this legislation. But tens of thousands of households will ultimately see their bills increase.
While proponents claim this legislation is about getting rid of subsidies, it actually has a provision slipped in at the end that creates a brand-new subsidy that could raise bills instead of lower them. With this provision, utilities will be able to propose uncapped increases to customer bills to make up for revenue they are missing out on because a family gets its energy from the sun.
If I start making coffee at home rather than going out, should my local coffee shop be able to bill me for the “lost revenue” they are missing out on? Most of us would scoff at such an outrageous scenario, but that’s exactly what investor-owned utilities get from this legislation.
The bottom line is that Florida needs to move away from an overreliance on any single source of energy and move toward a position where we generate more and more electricity within our state. It’s certainly within reach.
Leaning into his conservative values, Gov. Ron DeSantis has been an unwavering voice for freedom and free market principles. He routinely rejects the status quo, brushing aside the desires of talking media heads and corporate wish lists. That freedom is one of the reasons hundreds of families continue to move here every day.
But it becomes harder and harder for hardworking families to afford to keep the lights on when those costs are tied to geopolitical affairs that we can’t predict or control. Countless families are being crushed by skyrocketing utility bills.
Conservatives should be the loudest champions for energy independence and empowering families to take their utility bills into their own hands. I urge Gov. DeSantis to recognize the importance of homegrown rooftop solar and veto HB 741.

Last spring, H.M., an Afghan refugee living in the U.S., visited Kabul to get married.
He spent a few blissful months with his new partner before returning to the U.S., where he is a legal resident. He immediately applied for a spousal visa for his pregnant wife. But in August 2021, the Taliban took over Afghanistan and the U.S. embassy shut down — and there was no one to process her visa.
(H.M. asked to be identified by his initials to protect his family, who are at high risk of persecution by the Taliban.)
His wife then applied for a special immigrant visa with the U.S. government. Because she worked for a USAID program in Kabul, she qualified for the visa, granted to those who'd worked with Americans on U.S.-sponsored projects. But she never received a case number due to bureaucratic delays.
The couple is still living apart. In December, H.M.'s wife gave birth to a daughter whom he has yet to meet – although he's already making plans to give her tennis lessons.
H.M.'s story represents a category of Afghans who have been separated from their loved ones in the wake of the Taliban takeover — and aren't sure if and when they can reunite. Deborah Alexander, a former U.S. diplomat in Afghanistan who is assisting H.M.'s wife and other Afghans with asylum and visa applications, estimates that thousands of families have been split apart.
The U.S. and its NATO partners promised to get Afghans whom they'd trained, armed and funded out of Kabul last summer along with their families. This includes Afghan soldiers , interpreters and advisers directly employed by the U.S. — and those who worked for U.S. and NATO-funded organizations and projects. Because of their affiliation with Western powers, these Afghans are in danger of persecution by the Taliban.
The U.S. was able to relocate more than 124,000 at-risk Afghans to safety after the Taliban took over, according to the State Department. But those efforts have slowed to a trickle. The U.S. government has not been able to negotiate with the Taliban to allow other Afghans to leave. So many of them and their families remain stuck in Afghanistan.
Families divided
H.M. worries about his wife's safety, says Alexander, who is based in the U.S. and works on her own as a volunteer to help a few Afghan refugees. The retired diplomat not only helps Afghan refugees adjust to their new lives when they arrive in the U.S., but also helps those still at risk in Afghanistan apply for visas and make asylum applications in the U.S. and other countries. Much of her work involves advocating for Afghans with the U.S. and foreign governments, filling out forms, writing letters and connecting vulnerable Afghans to individuals and NGOs who can assist them financially if needed.
(In fact, there was standing joke in one of the Facebook evacuation groups that if Hollywood were ever to make a realistic movie about the work of evacuation activists, it would feature retired diplomats and veterans at their laptops filling out forms, writing emails, editing statements about threats to those still in Afghanistan, managing Excel spreadsheets of vulnerable groups and begging officials to accept "their Afghan families.")
The USAID project that H.M.'s wife worked on focused on increasing the presence of women in the Afghan government. That likely "won't be viewed favorably by the new Taliban regime," says Alexander.
H.M.'s wife is caring for their baby alone. And, Alexander adds, "she's a Hazara woman," referring to the persecuted Afghan ethnic group.
H.M. wants to return to Kabul to be with his wife and child. But that would be dangerous, says Alexander. So she is doing everything she can to help the family with their paperwork – and "stop the husband from getting on a plane."
That includes urging different U.S. officials to give priority to the family's case if evacuations restart and getting mental health support for H.M. to deal with the trauma of being separated from his family.
Alexander is also helping a woman who asked to be identified by her initials, Z.N. Last summer, she, her husband and three children were trying to leave Afghanistan. Z.N. was a former officer in the Afghan police, which received training and support from NATO, and her husband was a veteran who served in the U.S.-backed Afghan forces and was injured in a Taliban attack. The family feared that if they stayed in Kabul their lives would be in danger.
But when they headed to the airport on August 26, there was an explosion — and Z.N. was separated from her family. Z.N. managed to get inside the airport and on a flight to the U.S.
In the airplane, Z.N. hoped her husband and kids got on another flight – and worried that they had been injured or killed. She arrived in the U.S. distraught about the fate of her family.
"She was eventually able to contact her husband to verify that they had survived, but they had not gotten on a flight," says Alexander. Nearly six months later, Z.N. is still separated from her husband and children, who are still in Kabul.
A rocky road to reunion
For Z.N. and H.M., it's hard to remain hopeful.
Alexander, who previously worked for the State Department and has also worked on evacuation efforts in countries like Iraq, Croatia and Serbia, acknowledges that U.S. efforts to pull Afghans out of the country last summer were messier than usual.
"It was also the end of a 20-year war, and the collapse of a government that no one anticipated would fall so quickly. And there was no planning, preparation and training [on the part of the U.S.] for a massive evacuation," she says.
The fact that U.S. authorities weren't able to get H.M.'s wife on a flight out of Kabul is an example of that, says Alexander. "The U.S. government should have given her priority in the evacuation since she is the wife of a U.S. legal permanent resident."
What's more, the protocol to bring Afghans and their families to the U.S. lacks clarity. "Whatever evacuation process is in place by private organizations or by the U.S. government is opaque," says Alexander. Nongovernmental groups and volunteers aren't coordinating with each other about which Afghans they're choosing to evacuate, she adds.
Responding to the criticism, a State Department spokesperson told NPR they have a team coordinating across government agencies and with advocacy groups, nonprofits, and others "to facilitate the departure of those who wish to leave Afghanistan, including U.S. citizens, Lawful Permanent Residents (LPR), our Afghan allies and their eligible family members." They said the U.S. government has been working on individual cases of reuniting separated family members. "We are committed to reuniting families, especially parents and minor children, who may have been separated during relocation operations in August 2021," they said, without sharing specific details.
"If an individual in the United States was separated from their spouse or child(ren) (or in the case of unaccompanied minors, their parents or primary caregivers) by the NEO [ non-combatant evacuation operation] in August 2021, we encourage them to be in touch with their resettlement case manager," they said.
Meanwhile, Afghans who were able to come to the U.S. and receive humanitarian parole through the U.S.-led evacuations last year, like Z.N., have their own set of problems. Their initial visa expires after a period of two years. So they need to apply for asylum during this time period to secure permanent legal residency. However, over 36,000 Afghans are ineligible because they didn't work directly for the U.S. or its partners, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. For example, although Z.N. was a police officer with NATO-backed Afghan forces, she was not technically employed by them. So it's unclear what will happen to her and others when their visa runs out..
Activists are putting pressure on congresspeople to pass the Afghan Adjustment Act to help these ineligible Afghans stay. Sponsored by Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), the act allows Afghan evacuees to apply for permanent status after one year of entering the country.
"This very important act can grant them asylum like it did for the Vietnamese [in 2000] and Cuban immigrants [in 1966]. Many human rights groups, veterans and diplomats are supporting it. We are really hoping for that because it will certainly make [Z.N.]'s case easier," says Alexander.
Meanwhile, Alexander says she is helping the Afghan refugees adjust to their new reality in the U.S.
She says Z.N., who like many Afghan refugees gets support from the U.S. government and from charities, "is starting to get her feet on the ground. She has an apartment, clothes — and is learning the language and how to ride a bus. But she is still traumatized as someone alone in a new country, away from her children and her husband. She is spending most of her time thinking about being with them."

Neighbors Helping Neighbors celebrates, seeks volunteers
Buckham West’s Commons Room will be filled Wednesday with Neighbors Helping Neighbors volunteers and with community members interested in learning more about services and volunteer opportunities.
Neighbors Helping Neighbors (NHN) in Rice County is hosting an open house and volunteer appreciation event in celebration of National Volunteer Month .
Family Service Rochester’s NHN program provides chore services to people who are over 60 years old or have a disability. The program aims to help them live independently in their home.
Anne Pleskonko, longtime Faribault resident, was hired by Family Services Rochester earlier this year to assist with the NHN program in Rice County as a senior service coordinator.
Pleskonko’s office is located at Buckham West. She sees the open house as a way to not only show appreciation to volunteers, but also to Buckham West staff and board members.
Buckham West Director Mona Kaiser and board members “give the program credibility because they are backing it,” Pleskonko said. “I’m available for the community and those that attend events and programs at Buckham West.”
Pleskonko said the open house is also an opportunity for community members to learn more about NHN and the nonprofit organization that runs it.
“I took this job knowing Family Service Rochester has been going for over 50 years,” Pleskonko said. “They know what they are doing, and this is a good place to be.”
‘It gives me something to do’
Faribault resident Rolf Haaland is one of many volunteers who help ensure the program is successful in Rice County.
Fully retired now, Haaland said he was eager to help since he has the extra time.
”Even if it’s just one thing, and even if I don’t get paid for it, shame on me if I can’t help somebody who needs help,” Haaland said. “Whether needing a ride or light mechanical work, it’s something I can do to help and pay it forward.”
Haaland started volunteering with NHN last month. He now helps a fellow retired construction worker remove snow from his Medford driveway. He has also given a woman rides to a beauty shop.
Haaland encourages other retirees to stay active through volunteering.
Family Service Rochester Volunteer Recruitment and Retention Specialist Jennell Loeffler said she works with a lot of volunteers who are retired and seeking a new sense of purpose.
“A lot of people want to help and give back to the community and realize when doing that they receive so much for themselves,” Loeffler said. “It gives them a sense of purpose and helps them feel fulfilled.”
Many volunteers, Loeffler said, do what they can now in hopes the same will be returned if they are ever unable to do something. In a small community like Faribault, Loeffler said it’s common for volunteers to recognize the names of those they are called to help.
“It really is neighbors lending a hand to neighbors,” Loeffler said.
Loeffler said volunteers are “definitely” vital to the NHN program’s success. Though some tasks, like bringing trash bins to the curb, seem small, they are tasks the older adult is unable to do on their own.
“Without volunteers we wouldn’t be able to do the things we do and reach the people we do,” Loeffler said. “Volunteers are very crucial.”
Additional volunteers are needed this spring.
A variety of chores include companionship visits, grocery shopping, housekeeping, yard work, lawn mowing, transportation and handy work projects inside and outside the home.
Consumers pay a fee for the service based on their income.

NORTHFIELD, Vt. (WFFF/NEXSTAR) – Police in Vermont are investigating hazing allegations involving a member of the women’s rugby team at a Norwich University, a historic military college.
Last month, the Northfield Police Department obtained warrants to search dorm rooms and electronic communications from students in connection with the allegations, which involve “branding and waterboarding of and by NU students,” Chief John Helfant said in a email shared with Nexstar.
The probe began on March 20, following a report of someone being held at knifepoint inside one of the dorm rooms, according to a police affidavit obtained by The Barre-Montpelier Times Argus. The alleged victim was said to be a player on the women’s rugby team.
The officer who provided the affidavit said the victim claimed she was “branded” by other members of the team. The victim’s phone also contained video of another woman in a chair with a cloth held over her face, with liquid being poured on the cloth, the Times Argus reported.
Dr. Mark Anarumo, the president of Norwich University, has said the school is cooperating with the investigation.
Anarumo added that “it would be inappropriate to discuss the specifics of the event.”
“At the conclusion of the investigation, Norwich University will take appropriate legal action and disciplinary measures to preserve the safety of our community and perpetuate a positive culture across our campus and with our community partners,” Anarumo wrote in an letter provided to the surrounding community.
“We will all play our part in encouraging an atmosphere of learning, social responsibility, and respect for human dignity, and will tirelessly address any behavior that is incongruous with this responsibility,” he said.
Founded in 1819, Norwich University is the oldest private military college in the United States. The university is also regarded as “birthplace of the ROTC.”

In towns like Bucha, cut off from the world for nearly six weeks, the shocking images of civilian deaths are now out in the open.
In the small suburb of Kyiv, Russian troops terrorized residents. Photographs and video document the scope of Russia’s campaign of killing: a manicured hand and a bright sandal are pieces of Ukrainian life in the mud.
Bodies are wrapped in plastic bags in ditches, people in plain clothes lay on the streets, with their hands and feet bound. From above, satellite images show mass graves.
"We get the impression that the Russian occupiers have got the green light from Putin and Shoigu, the Russian Defense Minister, to have a safari in Ukraine," said Anatoliy Fedoruk, Mayor of Bucha. "They weren't able to take Kyiv, so they vented their frustration on Bucha and the surrounding areas."
Ukrainian officials say Bucha has hundreds of victims — the elderly, women, and children among the civilians killed because of Vladimir Putin’s territorial ambitions.
“You may remember I got criticized for calling Putin a war criminal," President Joe Biden said. "Well, the truth of the matter is you saw what happened in Bucha. This warrants him — he is a war criminal.”
Pres. Biden says he’s seeking more sanctions that will soon be announced. The U.S. has been gathering evidence of war crimes, and the International Criminal Court launched an investigation last month.
“These areas, about which we talk, have been under the occupation, under the control of the aggressor of the Russian troops or they've been bombed by the aggressor, the Russian troops," said Peter Stano, foreign affairs spokesperson of the European Commission. "So of course, there is no one else who could have committed these atrocities."
Russian officials deny committing atrocities in Bucha, calling it a fake attack, but witnesses tell grim stories.
"I saw women killed," said Oleksiy Goncharenko, Ukrainian Parliamentarian. "I saw a body burnt in the vehicle, boy or girl, child, I don't know, maybe 6, 7 years old. It's so awful. It's hard to explain."
"There's one woman from Bucha who spoke with Human Rights Watch, told us about a day in early March where she was gathered with other civilians by the Russian soldiers, and five Ukrainian men in plainclothes were brought into the same roadside," said Aisling Reidy, senior legal adviser at Human Rights Watch. "They were made to kneel down with their hands behind their back, and then the soldiers lifted the T-shirt of one of the men and shot him in the head. They did not proceed to kill the other four who were kneeling, but the women, when they came back to the same area the next day, they saw the body of the man who'd been executed still lying there."
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, visiting Bucha Monday, said the crimes will be recognized by the world as genocide. Current and former U.S. ambassadors to the UN are calling for Russia to be suspended from the UN Human Rights Council.
Meanwhile, on the streets of Bucha, Ukrainians were using cables to move the dead out of fear the Russian forces had hidden explosives under bodies.
With Russian troops retreating in the North and repositioning in the East, there are fears the world will see more devastating scenes of human suffering.

One of the best things about having a dog is spoiling them rotten. Not every day, because that would be bad, but when the time is right — a birthday, a Gotcha Day or just an acknowledgment of doggy goodness.
This dog-friendly cake recipe is for the dog-lover who’s ready to take their spoiling to the highest level: Frosting, dog-biscuit decor and an optional second layer make the treat a monument to canine glory.
Cookbook author Christi Johnstone developed this Spoiled Dog Cake recipe for her dog and shared it on her blog, Love From the Oven. She says her cocker spaniel is a fan, unsurprisingly, since the cake is packed with pup-favorite ingredients.
As most dog-lovers know, there’s a list of people-foods that dogs should not eat. Rest assured, this cake contains only canine-safe stuff like pumpkin, applesauce, peanut butter and egg.
The method is basically the same as making a human cake: Whisk together flour and baking soda. Then, in a separate bowl, mix peanut butter, applesauce and puréed pumpkin. (If you use canned pumpkin, make sure it’s only pumpkin and doesn’t contain any other ingredients.)
Add an egg to the wet ingredients and mix, then combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients. Give ’em a thorough stirring and the batter is done.
Pour the batter into an 8-inch cake pan. Pop the pan into the oven for 25 minutes or so, then test it as you would a cake-for-humans.
While the cake cools, whip up some “frosting.” Like the rest of the cake, it’s not terribly sweet — just a mix of plain Greek yogurt and peanut butter. But it looks like a rich vanilla buttercream!
After frosting the cooled cake, add whatever dog-safe decorations you wish. Johnstone recommends miniature bone-shaped dog biscuits from the store as an easy fix.
Woof! That cake was quick. And it’s easy to double if you want to make an extra-special layer cake. That’s something to consider — every pup deserves the best!

Lithuania cuts off Russian gas imports, urges EU to do same
VILNIUS, Lithuania (AP) — Lithuania says it has cut itself off entirely of gas imports from Russia, apparently becoming the first of the European Union’s 27 nations using Russian gas to break its energy dependence upon Moscow. “Seeking full energy independence from Russian gas, in response to...

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA’s dress rehearsal for its mega moon rocket is off until at least this weekend because of a pair of technical problems that kept stalling a fueling test.
Launch managers tried twice — once Sunday and again Monday — to load nearly 1 million gallons of fuel into the 322-foot (98-meter) rocket known as Space Launch System, or SLS. Balky fans at the launch pad thwarted the first effort, while a stuck valve halted the second attempt.
The countdown test is the last major milestone before the rocket's long-awaited launch debut. The Orion crew capsule atop the rocket will be hurled to the moon in a passenger-less test flight, looping around but not landing before returning to Earth. NASA is targeting June, depending on how the demo goes.
“We didn’t get through everything we wanted, but certainly learned a great deal that we’ll take into our next attempt,” said NASA's Jim Free, who's in charge of exploration systems development.
Speaking Tuesday at the Space Foundation's annual conference in Colorado Springs, Free said the launch team will wait until SpaceX launches four private passengers to the International Space Station before taking another crack at the fueling test. Liftoff is scheduled for Friday from Kennedy Space Center, barely a mile from the pad holding the SLS rocket.
The dress rehearsal began Friday and should have lasted just two days. A severe thunderstorm resulted in four lightning strikes at the pad Saturday, but officials did not believe that caused any of the technical problems.
After this first moonshot in NASA's Artemis program, NASA will send a crew around the moon in 2024 and then attempt the first lunar landing by astronauts in 2025 or so. Astronauts last walked on the moon in 1972 during NASA's Apollo program.

Chelsea relishing Real challenge, says Tuchel
Chelsea are relishing their Champions League quarter-final clash with Real Madrid but manager Thomas Tuchel was adamant their victory over the Spanish giants en route to the trophy last year will have no bearing this time around.
The London side beat Real 3-1 on aggregate in the semis last season, but Tuchel said on Tuesday there was little point in looking back at that victory over the 13-times European champions.
Chelsea are a team in turmoil after being put up for sale by Roman Abramovich following Russia's invasion of Ukraine - which Moscow calls a "special military operation" - while the Russian billionaire has been sanctioned by the British government.
"It has nothing to do with last season's game. Honestly. I did not look at it in the preparation. We did not look at last year's matches. That maybe answers the question," Tuchel told reporters ahead of Wednesday's first leg at Stamford Bridge.
"For us, there is not a point to prove again or whatever. We are out there to bounce back from Saturday's performance."
Tuchel, whose side were thrashed 4-1 in the Premier League by Brentford on Saturday, said playing in the Champions League was "terribly hard all the time".
"It's challenging and demanding of course," Tuchel said. "But this at the same time is what we love. We can deal with it but it's what we choose and love. This is what we deal with. It's nice to have these experiences."
Tuchel called for more support from Chelsea fans.
"We need to be better on the pitch. We're the first to admit it. But we need the crowd to be better. We need everybody on the front foot," Tuchel said.
Real boss Carlo Ancelotti is a doubt for the game after testing positive for COVID-19.
"I hope he still makes it. I have the information he'll try to arrive in the evening tomorrow," Tuchel said.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett said Monday that judges are not deciding cases to impose a “policy result,” but are making their best effort to determine what the law and the Constitution require.
In a nation splintered by partisanship and wracked by incivility, Barrett in remarks at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library appeared to acknowledge that expected court decisions on reproductive rights and gun control would be seen through a political lens and lead to division. She urged Americans to “read the opinion” and consider the court's reasoning before making judgments about the outcome.
“Does (the decision) read like something that was purely results driven and designed to impose the policy preferences of the majority, or does this read like it actually is an honest effort and persuasive effort, even if one you ultimately don’t agree with, to determine what the Constitution and precedent requires?” she asked.
Americans should judge the court — or any federal court — by its reasoning, she said. “Is its reasoning that of a political or legislative body, or is its reasoning judicial?” she asked.
The program was briefly interrupted by a heckler. Barrett said afterward, “As a mother of seven, I am used to distractions and sometimes even outbursts,” which elicited a round of applause from the capacity crowd.
The group Rise4AbortionRightsLA claimed credit for the brief protest and posted a video on its Twitter account showing a woman shouting toward Barrett: “You are an enslaver of women.” In its tweet, the group said, “Only the people can prevent the Supreme Court from overturning the right to abortion.”
In a wide-ranging, 45-minute interview at the hilltop library, Barrett also spoke dubiously of introducing cameras to the high court, defended free speech rights and admitted she is a lousy basketball shot.
While she said she was not expressing an opinion on cameras in the courtroom, she added “people don’t behave the same when they know that there’s a camera there.”
Barrett’s appearance at the library — in Simi Valley, northwest of Los Angeles — came on the same day that Republican Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Mitt Romney said they will vote to confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s nomination to the Supreme Court, bolstering bipartisan support for the first Black woman to be nominated.
Barrett was asked what advice she would have for a new justice.
“I think one of the difficult things that I experienced that I wasn’t really fully prepared for, was the shift into being a public figure,” she said. “Also, security is much different now. ... We all have security details and that’s different.”
Barrett was nominated by then-President Donald Trump to fill the vacancy after the death of liberal icon Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She was confirmed without Democratic support in late October 2020 – just days before the election — in a deeply divided Senate, 52-48. Her approval by the Senate’s Republican majority cemented conservative control of the court.

But for me, I get to my news that is actually important I get through people in my life," she said.

LOS ANGELES, April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Patient engagement technology provider SONIFI Health has created a mother-baby configuration on its popular digital whiteboards to help hospitals enhance the patient experience with postpartum moms and their families.
Healthcare organizations around the country have been replacing traditional marker boards with digital whiteboards to modernize and optimize the industry standard communications tool in patient rooms.
In addition to the hospital-branded and EHR-integrated features available on the digital boards from SONIFI Health, the new mother-baby displays update to show information about new moms and their babies simultaneously.
"We consulted with our customers to discover what information would be most helpful for both mom and the care team to have at a glance in both pre-delivery and post-delivery scenarios," said Andy Anderson, SONIFI Health's Director of Product Management.
Anderson led SONIFI's design and engineering teams in developing the mother-baby configuration that, thanks to integrations with a hospital's EHR system, automatically changes the whiteboard to a multi-patient display when the baby is born, with the information shown updating throughout the stay. The new feature also supports configurations for multiple babies, NICU stays, adoptions and sensitive situations such as fetal demise.
"The automations allow nursing staff to continue doing their critical work without being bogged down by having to update information on a dry erase board," said Anderson. "Staff and families can refer to the board for information about the care team, feeding needs and more without leaving the room. And if a baby's in NICU, parents can get the most up-to-date information about their little one without asking or worrying."
Longtime SONIFI Health customer and collaborator Texas Health Resources recently deployed the mother-baby features on digital whiteboards in the newly opened Jane and John Justin Tower in Fort Worth, Texas.
"Moms often have choices of where they want to deliver their baby, and we want Texas Health Resources to be where new moms and their families have the best experience possible," said Bianca Lenglet Radney, Texas Health's Vice President of Patient and Family Experience.
"SONIFI Health's mother-baby configuration is appealing because it meets the needs of the family and the staff at the time it matters most. No matter if it's the first child or the fourth, it's such a busy and important time that makes a lasting impression on new moms," Radney said. "With these digital and other patient experience-focused features in rooms, we make sure both mom and baby are taken care of in a way that's smooth, efficient and memorable in the best ways."
"Our teams were excited to get this new configuration out for hospitals, knowing how important all the small things a new mom experiences add up to the overall impression of — and loyalty to — a healthcare organization," said Meghan Seus, SONIFI Health's Vice President of Product Marketing. "And just like all our digital whiteboard configurations, it doesn't require manual intervention from nurses, meaning they can focus on direct care for mom and the new baby."
The digital whiteboard enhancements are a great complement to the whole patient experience with in-room technology, Seus said, giving families the ability to always see the most important information, adjust the brightness of the screens or lights in the room, access positive distraction on the interactive TVs and so much more.
For clinicians, the new mother-baby automations also extend outside the patient room onto SONIFI Health's digital door signs, empowering staff with critical information in clear view for better care interactions.
"This mother-baby feature was a natural evolution of our solutions," said Seus, "to continue supporting the use cases our customers and their patients want most."

Victor Osimhen’s agent has insisted his client has no problems at Napoli amid rumours linking him with a move to Manchester United.
Osimhen recently brushed off speculation that he was being monitored by United, as well as Arsenal, Newcastle and Tottenham. The 23-year-old described the rumours as 'background noise' in a post on his Instagram account a fortnight ago.
However, reports in Italy have suggested that the striker’s relationship with Napoli is becoming strained. Gazzetta dello Sport claimed Osimhen returned from international duty with Nigeria later than expected, causing issues in the dressing room.

His agent, though, has rebuffed suggestions of a falling out between Osimhen and Napoli. Speaking to Radio Marte, Roberto Calenda insisted all parties were happy with Osimhen's position at the club.
“There are no problems. Victor has already proved his close bond with this club,” Calenda said (via Football Italia ). “I don’t want to waste time talking about this, the situation is ridiculous. Just move on and talk about football.
“Osimhen is a young striker and with the right tips, his development is natural. Luciano Spalletti improves the players he works with. Everyone is happy about how things are going, Napoli are a precise choice for the striker’s development, as a man and as a footballer.”
Osimhen has scored 15 goals in 25 appearances across all competitions this season and is looking to help Napoli to the Serie A title. His form has led to rumours of a move during the summer, having also been linked with Newcastle during the January window.
“Osimhen is focused on the pitch, he wants to win and he is showing the right commitment. He plays for a strong team and journalists need to fill the papers' pages,” Calenda added.
“Even somebody who knows nothing about football would name Osimhen among the top strikers. He is a Napoli player and he will face seven finals now. The focus is all on the current campaign.”

LIVE: White House COVID-19 Response Team holds briefing; Democratic, GOP Senate bargainers agree on $10B to fight COVID
WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate bargainers have reached an agreement on a slimmed-down $10 billion package for countering COVID-19 with treatments, vaccines and other steps, but both parties’ bargainers ended up dropping all funding to help nations abroad combat the pandemic.
Yet a day after lawmakers announced the bipartisan accord, it was possible the measure could get entangled with an election-year battle over immigration, and it was unclear Tuesday how quickly the bill might move through Congress.
The compromise drew quick support Monday from President Joe Biden, who initially pushed for a $22.5 billion package. In a setback, he ended up settling for much less despite administration warnings that the government was running out of money to keep pace with the disease’s continued — though diminished — spread in the U.S.
“Every dollar we requested is essential and we will continue to work with Congress to get all of the funding we need,” said White House press secretary Jen Psaki. “But time is of the essence. We urge Congress to move promptly on this $10 billion package.”
Biden and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., his party’s lead bargainer, abandoned Biden’s request to include $5 billion to help countries — especially poorer ones — where the disease is still running rampant.
The inability of Biden and top Democrats to protect the additional spending they wanted came after the two parties gridlocked over GOP demands to pay for it by pulling back unspent aid from earlier pandemic measures. It also reflected the diminished political force that battling COVID-19 has this election year, two years into a pandemic that began with bipartisan support for throwing trillions of dollars at it.
Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah, the lead GOP bargainer, hailed the accord as one that would address “urgent COVID needs.” He also trumpeted the measure’s savings, which he said meant it “will not cost the American people a single additional dollar.”
Still uncertain was whether objections by some Republicans might prevent the Senate from considering the bill this week, as Biden and Schumer want, before Congress begins a two-week recess.
As their price for letting the bill move quickly, Republicans were considering demanding a vote on an amendment barring Biden from lifting immigration restrictions. At least 10 GOP votes will ultimately be needed for the legislation to get the 60 votes it will need to clear the 50-50 Senate.
“We have an agreement,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said in a brief interview. “The question is when will we be able to process the bill, and honestly that’s just not clear yet.”
Some Republicans want an election-year vote on retaining curbs imposed by then-President Donald Trump during the height of the pandemic in 2020 that’s let authorities immediately expel migrants crossing the border from Mexico for public health reasons.
The ban is due to end May 23. And while Democrats largely favor immigration, the lifting of the restrictions could cause political problems for moderates due to the massive increase in migrants that its lapse would prompt.
In the House, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and many liberals have criticized the ejection of global assistance. But leaders signaled they were ready to accept compromise.
While short of Biden’s agreement full request, “this package will fulfill immediate needs to secure more vaccines, boosters, testing and therapeutics to keep the pandemic at bay – and it must be enacted as quickly as possible,” Pelosi set in a statement released overnight.
Schumer said members of both parties want to craft a second spending measure this spring that could include funds to battle COVID-19 and hunger overseas and more assistance for Ukraine as it continues battling the Russian invasion. The fate of such a measure is uncertain.
Romney also suggested an openness to considering future money. “While this agreement does not include funding for the U.S. global vaccination program, I am willing to explore a fiscally responsible solution to support global efforts in the weeks ahead,” he said.
The agreement comes with BA.2, the new omicron variant, expected to spark a fresh increase in U.S. cases. Around 980,000 Americans and over 6 million people worldwide have died from COVID-19.
At least half the agreement’s $10 billion would be used to research and produce therapeutics to treat the disease, according to fact sheets from Schumer and Romney.
The money would also be used to buy vaccines and tests. At least $750 million would be used to research new COVID-19 variants and to expand vaccine production, the descriptions said.
Administration officials have said the government has run out of money to finance COVID-19 testing and treatments for people without insurance. They’ve also said funds are running low for boosters, vaccines focused on specific variants, free monoclonal antibody treatments and care for people with immune system weaknesses.
The deal is also a reduction from a $15 billion version that both parties’ leaders negotiated last month. Pelosi abandoned that plan after Democratic lawmakers rejected proposed cuts in state pandemic aid to help pay for the package.
The measure is fully paid for by pulling back unspent funds from previous pandemic relief bills that have been enacted, bargainers said.
Fact sheets said that includes savings from funds protecting aviation manufacturing jobs, assisting entertainment venues shuttered by the pandemic, helping states extend credit to small businesses and aiding agriculture.

In American Sign Language, the expression “true biz” translates to real talk. It’s also the title of Sara Nović’s new novel.In the book, it’s a policy that Headmistress February Waters upholds for her students at River Valley School for the Deaf.
The school immerses students in Deaf culture. Everything is taught and communicated in ASL. And Charlie is the newest student there. As the only deaf student at her previous public school, she didn’t have access to ASL or deaf peers. But River Valley is at risk of closing — a very real problem for the schools it’s based on.
Nović lost her hearing later in life, but says she most identifies with Charlie’s journey and wished she could have attended a school like River Valley. Nović writes in her author’s note about the importance of these schools’ existence, describing them as “community hubs – the safekeepers of our language, our history, and our dreams in the future.”
We talk to her about her journey learning ASL and her inspirations for the book. Cami Miner joined and interpreted the questions for Sara. A transcript of the conversation has been made available below.

Dear Heloise: I have some driving and parking hints:
1. I park in a garage. In order to avoid hitting the wall, I keep an orange construction cone in the garage in front of the car. I also used a marker to draw a line on the floor near the driver’s door so I know how far to pull up.
2. From the driver’s seat, I cannot see the trunk or the front end of my auto, so I taped a bright orange pencil to the front bumper, so that it sticks upward just enough so I can see it. (I can’t see the back either, but the car has a camera.)
3. My car is a very popular color, so I added a few inexpensive auto decals to catch my eye. For people who live or work in high-rise buildings, putting a decal on the car will help you find your car before you exit the building. — R.B., via email
Recycling Hints
Dear Heloise: In this age of recycling, I find that using a coffee filter to cover food in the microwave to keep it from splattering all over is very useful. There’s not so much waste, and they should disintegrate fairly quickly, too. Coffee filters are a lot cheaper than paper towels or paper plates, and it’s better for the environment. — K.B., South Vienna, Ohio
K.B., recycling is so important for our environment today, and this hint offers a great suggestion. — Heloise
Smoky Hair
Dear Heloise: Here’s a hint for if you are ever in a smoky situation and your hair has that smoky smell after you leave. Take some vinegar and put it in a spray bottle. Spray your hair and fluff it up. It will take the smoky smell out of your hair, and you won’t smell like a pickle. — Elizabeth F. in Ohio

Washing Golf Hats
Dear Heloise: With golf season fast approaching in the midwest and north, my wife puts my sweaty worn golf hats in a gentle bag and washes them regularly with the rest of the clothes on the permanent press cycle. After the end of the wash and rinse cycle, she puts the wet hats on a coffee container to dry and form them. They look great and smell fresh, too. It works better than a rigid hat form in the dishwasher. — Peter Saunders Jr., Englewood, Ohio
Hint For Colonoscopy Preparation
Dear Heloise: I discovered a hint for the preparation for a colonoscopy. The unpleasant flavor of the drink can be overcome by gulping as much of the liquid as possible and then eating a couple of bites of Jell-O. No nasty aftertaste! Thank you for all of your wonderful hints. — Pat W., via email

McDonald's is bringing back a fan-favorite menu item
McDonald's is bringing back Spicy Chicken McNuggets, but not everyone can buy them.
Related video above: Some Surprising Facts About McDonald's That You Probably Didn't Know
The fast food chain said that the spicy nuggets are now available at about half of its U.S. locations, or roughly 6,900 locations, for a limited time. McDonald's regularly releases menu items on a regional basis to generate buzz and excitement among its fans.
McDonald's first unveiled the spicy chicken nuggets in 2020, making them the first new McNugget flavor in the United States since the item was introduced in 1983. The nuggets have have a a breaded tempura coating of cayenne and chili peppers, packing a more flavorful punch compared to its regular chicken nuggets.
The chain credits the nuggets for boosting sales two years ago during the initial onset of the pandemic. McDonald's U.S. sales jumped 7.5% in the fourth quarter of 2021 thanks in part to menu price increases, powerful digital sales and popular items like its crispy chicken sandwiches and the limited-time McRib sandwiches.
Limited-time items are an important marketing tool for the food industry to draw foot traffic and interest. These items offer consumers some variety — a key for fast food, as it's a notoriously thin-margin business with little customer loyalty. Offering something new gives people a reason to come back.

Division May Shuffle Assistant Principal Assignments
The school division may be relocating assistant principals as part of a leadership development effort, according to an email to some staff from Chief of Schools Roe Mitchell.
The email referred to a meeting between administrators and principals, dubbed “Building Leadership Capacity in LCPS.” Mitchell wrote that principals were instructed to not share the plans, of which School Board members also were not aware, but after the news spread across social media a decision was made to brief all assistant principals on the plans.
Mitchell wrote that not all assistant principals would be moved, and no one would experience a change in level.
In a statement, Superintendent Scott Ziegler said moving administrators is standard operational procedure in most school divisions.
“It is done for a variety of reasons, including leadership development and the enhancement of the principal candidate pipeline. Involving administrators with different school populations, leadership styles and mentorship opportunities creates a more empathetic, knowledgeable administrative staff that can best respond to the changing needs of the community it serves,” he wrote.
In a series of emails sent to Ziegler, board member Denise Corbo (At Large) wrote that the information spreading across social media without the board knowing about the plan, was “highly embarrassing for the Board and show the community a lack of leadership.”
Corbo also wrote that she opposed moving administrators.
“In a time when our division is vulnerable and the community is divided, why on Earth would you make this proposal and expect principals to keep the information confidential?” she wrote.
It is still not clear how many assistant principals will be reassigned.

Phil Mickelson has "gone dark" since announcing his indefinite break from professional golf, according to Bryson DeChambeau.
Controversial comments made by Mickelson to an author about the proposed Saudi-backed Golf Super League were made public in February. He was widely criticised for considering using the proposed breakaway league as financial leverage against the PGA Tour despite describing the Saudis as "scary motherf*****s".
In a lengthy statement announcing his break from the game, the 51-year-old wrote: "The past 10 years I have felt the pressure and stress slowly affecting me at a deeper level. I know I have not been my best and desperately need some time away to prioritise the ones I love most and work on being the man I want to be."
He has been silent ever since on social media, while it appears the same is true in terms of more personal communications. Fellow American golf star DeChambeau was asked ahead of this week's Masters if he had heard anything from Mickelson over the past few weeks.
"I've tried to reach out, but he's gone dark," was his reply. "There's no contact." It comes after PGA commissioner Jay Monahan also said he had not spoken with the six-time major winner. "He [Mickelson] has said that he's stepping away and he wants time for reflection - that's something that I and we are going to respect and honour," he said last month.
"I have not talked to Phil since he made his comments and since he said that he was stepping away. Like I said, I think the ball is in his court. I would welcome a phone call from him. But it's hard for me to talk about the different scenarios that could play out."
Mickelson is a three-time winner at the Masters, having finally broken his duck in 2004 before going on to win it again in 2006 and 2010. He will not be playing at the event this year, marking the first time he has not featured at the Masters since 1994.
A report last month suggested that the decision had been taken out of the player's hands, with Golfweek suggesting that bosses at Augusta had told him not to bother showing up in Georgia.
It caps off a nightmare few months for Mickelson, who has also been deserted by some of his long-standing sponsors over the whole affair. Golf equipment brand Callaway "paused" its partnership with the under-fire golfer, while other firms to have walked away include KPMG, Workday and Amstel Light.

The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission says its latest soil, water and air sample study again shows areas around BWXT Nuclear Energy Canada’s facility in Peterborough are “protected” and do not pose health risks.
As part of its operating licensing renewal agreement, areas around the Monaghan Road facility are tested annually for levels of uranium and beryllium. Among sites tested include Prince of Wales Public School across from the facility.
The Toronto-based company uses uranium and “small amounts” of beryllium — a lightweight metal — to join portions of fuel bundles at the Peterborough facility using uranium dioxide pellets produced at its facility in Toronto. The pellets are then inserted into the tubes to create fuel bundles.
The commission on Tuesday released the results of its 2021 Independent Environmental Monitoring Program which tested soil, water and air around “publicly accessible” areas of the city, focusing on both radioactive and hazardous substances. The report concluded that the levels of uranium and beryllium in the samples were “below available guidelines.”
“Measurements conducted by the IEMP to date have consistently found levels of radioactivity in the environment to be low, and well within the range of natural background radiation levels,” the study concludes. “The concentrations of beryllium in soil collected around the BWXT Peterborough facility remain well below guidelines. As a result, no health or environmental impacts are expected at these concentrations.”
The report notes the 2021 study’s results are similar to studies conducted in 2014, 2018 and 2019 — all below federal and provincial guidelines, the IEMP notes.
“(The studies) show that the ambient environment surrounding BWXT Nuclear Energy Canada Inc. Peterborough is within provincial guidelines, confirming that the licensee’s environmental protection program is effective,” the report states. “The results add to the body of evidence that people and the environment in the vicinity of the BWXT Peterborough facility are protected and that there are no anticipated health impacts.
In 2020, another study was done as part of the company’s operating licensing renewal application. That study noted there were “no significant changes” in concentrations of beryllium in the soil in Peterborough.
The IEMP’s study is similar to an independent soil sample study conducted in September 2021 by SDK Environmental Consulting Services which also gathered samples about 25 kilometres west of the BWXT plant.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Longtime Michigan Republican Rep. Fred Upton, who voted to impeach President Donald Trump over the Jan. 6Capitol insurrection, announced Tuesday he will not run for a 19th term in Congress.
Upton, 68, is the fourth of 10 Republicans who backed impeachment to not seek reelection, joining Reps. John Katko of New York, Adam Kinzinger of Illinois and Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio.
“Even the best stories has a last chapter. This is it for me,” Upton said during a speech on the House floor. “I’ve done the zillions of airline miles back and forth. I’ve signed Fred to over a million letters, cast more votes than anyone in this chamber while here and by most accounts have succeeded in making a difference, accomplishing what I’ve set out to do with more unfinished work still yet to come.”
The recent once-a-decade redistricting process put the moderate Upton, of St. Joseph, and sixth-term Republican Rep. Bill Huizenga of Holland Township in the same GOP-leaning seat in the state’s southwestern corner. In February, Upton’s campaign aired an ad that signaled he was more likely to run, but he stopped short of announcing a bid.
Trump has worked to exact revenge on those who crossed him — recruiting, endorsing and campaigning for challengers running against them. That includes Upton, whom Trump has slammed as a “RINO,” a Republican in name only. “He doesn’t deserve to keep his seat,” Trump said in September. Upton has said Trump had to be held to account because the country cannot tolerate any president’s attempt to impede the peaceful transfer of power.
Trump last month endorsed Huizenga after earlier supporting another Republican primary challenger before the new district was drawn. On Tuesday, Trump issued a statement reacting to Upton’s decision, saying: “UPTON QUITS! 4 down and 6 to go.”
Upton, who was first elected in 1986 and chaired the House Energy and Commerce Committee from 2011 through 2016, became emotional as he ended his remarks in which he thanked his “salt-of-the-earth” constituents. He noted his parents were watching on C-SPAN.
“Someone asked my wife Amey what would be the next chapter. She said, ‘And they lived happily ever after.′ Indeed, we will.”
Legislative highlights, Upton said, include a law to accelerate medical product development and what he said was his “driving mission” — a focus on jobs and the economy. He mentioned work to rev up American energy production, deal with climate change, reduce corporate taxes, rescue the domestic auto industry and protect the Great Lakes.
He also said he has been hitting the road with Michigan Democratic Rep. Debbie Dingell “in a push for civility. Hopefully, civility and bipartisanship versus discord can rule not rue the day.”
Dingell spoke after Upton, who stayed to watch. She also was emotional.
“It is his civility that I and Congress will miss the most,” she said. “Fred really believed that he was an American first, that reaching across the aisle was important, that working together is how we get things done for the American people.”
Upton is the 16th House Republican to say he or she is not running for reelection, compared with 30 Democrats. The total had been 31 Democrats, but Filemon Vela, who said he was not seeking reelection, ended up resigning for another job last month.
Despite Trump’s criticism of Upton, other Republicans applauded him. Huizenga praised his “statesman-like legacy.” Michigan Republican Party Chairman Ron Weiser said Upton has led his community “with honor and distinction” and thanked him for “his tireless advocacy on behalf of Michigan.”

Letters: Saskatchewan's premier rejects blame, but accepts credit
Readers offer their opinions on Premier Scott Moe's tactics, a mother allowed leave from prison and changes to Saskatoon school zones.
Article content
Moe’s playbook an easy read
Advertisement 2
Article content
Scott Moe has become very predictable with his ongoing antics of deny, defy, deflect and divert. He denies Saskatchewan has the country’s highest per capita rate of deaths and hospitalizations, which is a huge burden on our health-care system.
He defies anyone to challenge those stats yet laments the resulting significant costs. He then deflects the blame to the federal government while holding out his hand for more health-care funding to offset the effects of his anemic health policies.
Now, in order to divert attention from his new taxes on more goods and services than ever before, he has requested the federal government hold off on carbon tax increases due to high inflation and economic hardship.
If they did, he wins and takes credit. If they don’t, he also wins since he can point the blame to them. He fails to acknowledge that the high inflation is actually a global issue caused by the pandemic, supply chain issues and the war in Ukraine.
So he never accepts blame, yet takes false credit no matter what. Does that sound familiar, like any other (U.S.) politician we might know? Moe’s playbook is an easy read and we are fools to continue letting the wool be pulled over our eyes.

Prison leave details unnecessary
After reading the article, “Sask. woman who starved girl to death can exit prison,” I feel the need to comment. The irony of the situation is obvious.
The woman starves to death a four-year-old girl and receives a second-degree murder charge with no chance of parole for 17 years. Now, I am not against escorted temporary absences from federal prison for personal development purposes, but the public doesn’t need to know the devil in the details.

Article content
The woman is allowed to go on a trip to a fast food restaurant after starving to death a four-year-old girl under a placement of “person of sufficient interest.” This gives the Parole Board of Canada, the media and whoever organized the trip needless publicity. In the future, please spare us the details.

Expanded school zones puzzles
I’ve been carefully counting on a daily basis how many children I see walking to schools or parks between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. for a while now. (School zone hours will begin at 7 a.m. and run until 7 p.m. starting in September.)
I keep getting the same number: Zero. What’s the problem with this city council?

It is an excellent option for new Linux users as it offers a flexible desktop experience and is relatively user-friendly. One of the best things about most Linux-based distros is that they come with many different editions, each boasting a separate GUI for various users. Manjaro is no exception as it comes in three different versions with other desktop environments, namely KDE Plasma, Xfce and GNOME. You can check them out from the official page by clicking here.
One of the things I like most about Linux is that we have many applications to do a task. And I like this because each one has something to contribute. An example of this are the monitoring tools. One alternative to monitor a server is to install Monitorix. Today, we will show you how to do it on a Debian 11 system.
It can be a bit frustrating when hardware doesn't work on your Linux install, especially WiFi. Sometimes, WiFi works out of the box - and other times, not so much. In this video, Jay from LearnLinuxTV will let you know why this is sometimes a problem, as well as some of the things you can do about it.
Network Interface allows connecting your device with some internet connection. In Linux, the network interface can be either physical or virtual. The physical network interface helps in connecting with various computers or connecting with the internet. On the other hand, the virtual interface usually connects with one device. The network interface must be enabled and functioning properly to either connect with the internet or locally. To have a functional network interface, one must keep an eye on the status of the network interface. This article provides the possible ways to get the status of the network interface on CentOS 8.
Learn how to use the host_list and Nmap plugins to build inventory files for your Ansible playbooks.
GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) comprises compilers for well-known programming languages such as C, C++, Go, Fortran, Objective-C, and many more. The GCC is completely free and provides cross-platform support for Linux, Windows, and multiple BSD-based systems. Apart from this, one can suggest or make enhancements to GCC and you can utilize the enhancements done by other developers/users as well. Moreover, the GCC can be used to make executable files for other systems which makes it the best choice for embedded systems (as they don’t have any compiler). Keeping in view the importance of GCC, this guide demonstrates the step-by-step procedure to install GCC on Arch Linux.
The RC stands for “run commands” and usually the rc phenomenon is practiced by system administrators to run a command at system boot. The “rc.local” is a script that contains the commands to be exercised at system startup. In Linux, the system administrators may wish to conduct a system test before startup. In such a situation, the admin must put the relevant commands inside the rc.local file to make their execution possible at system startup. If you are curious about using the rc-local file on CentOS 8; you are in the right place.
Q4OS is a new Linux distribution that’s based on Debian; a common base that’s shared with other distributions like Ubuntu and Linux Mint. It’s aimed at users who just want a simple, stable, easy to use Linux operating system that they can conveniently run on an aging computer so they may surf the web, check emails, watch videos, and even play games while offering them a good level of security and privacy.
Curl, short for Client URL, is a handy and flexible command-line tool used to transfer data between client systems. It supports a myriad of protocols such as FTP, FTPS, HTTP, HTTP, LDAP, POP3, and SCP just to mention a few.
By default, Proxmox uses noVNC client to access the console of a Virtual machine. The noVNC client is just enough if you want to connect to a Proxmox VM without any additional tools. However, a few things don't seem to work well with noVNC. One of the major problem is I can't hear any sound from the VM. Also, when I play a YouTube video, it is lagging and stuttering and out of sync with the audio. After searching through Proxmox forums, many users have suggested that SPICE client helped them to solved such issues. So I gave it a try. To my surprise, SPICE works great.
Choosing the best remote desktop for Linux will enable you to access computers and mobile devices remotely from your Linux computer. But there are far fewer options available for Linux users than for Windows or Mac owners, and these tend to be much more difficult to use. This can make it hard to select the right option, particularly if you don’t want too steep of a learning curve. Many Linux remote desktops are open-source and versatile, but they also require significant tech skills to install and use. To help you find your way through the confusing jargon surrounding Linux remote desktops and select the right option for your business, we’ve put together this guide. In it, we take a close look at the leading Linux remote desktop programs available today.

El Salvador's president threatened Tuesday to stop providing food for imprisoned members of street gangs following a wave of killings.
Speaking at a graduation ceremony for new police officers and soldiers, President Nayib Bukele said that if the gangs "unleash a wave of crimes, we are going to cut off food in the prisons."
"There are rumors that they (gangs) want to start taking revenge on random, honest people," Bukele said. "If they do that, there won't even be one meal in prisons. I swear to God they won't eat a grain of rice, and let's see how long they last."
"They should stay calm and let themselves be arrested; at least on the inside they will continue to live and have two meals a day," Bukele said.
Previously, Bukele had ordered food for gang members held in Salvadoran prisons be reduced to two meals per day, seized inmates' mattresses and posted a video of prisoners being frog-marched through corridors and down stairs.
Following a wave of homicides in late March, Bukele declared a state of emergency that suspended some constitutional rights and rounded up about 6,000 street gang members.
The president also ordered a new maximum-security prison be built to hold 20,000 inmates.
The move has faced criticism from human rights organizations in El Salvador and abroad that warn the suspension of fundamental rights could open the door to human rights abuses. El Salvador's human rights prosecutors' office said it had received 67 human rights complaints, including 33 for arbitrary arrest.
United Nations Human Rights spokeswoman Liz Throssell said Tuesday, "We are deeply concerned by the series of measures recently introduced in El Salvador in response to the rise in gang killings."
Throssell said "5,747 people have been detained without an arrest warrant and some have reportedly been subjected to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment."
Bukele, as usual, brushed off criticisms.
"I don't care what the international organizations say. Let them come here and protect our people," the president said. "They can take their gang members if they want; we'll give them all of them."
El Salvador's Congress has also increased sentences for crimes committed by gang members. The country's notorious street gangs effectively control many neighborhoods in the capital.
The state of emergency restricts freedom to associate, the right to be informed of rights when arrested and access to a lawyer. The government also extended to 15 days from 72 hours the time that someone can be held without charges and allowed authorities to intercept suspects' communications without a judge's approval.
Police and soldiers have already cordoned off neighborhoods, searching house-by-house for gang members and controlling who enters and exits areas.
In March, Bukele posted a video showing guards with billy clubs roughly forcing inmates to walk, run and even descend stairs with their arms held behind their necks or backs.
At one point, a handcuffed inmate tumbled down a flight of stairs as a guard forced him to descend running. The prisoner groaned and then was forced to his feet to continue running.
Inmates were stripped to their underwear and their mattresses were taken away.
Bukele enjoys extremely high popularity. He stepped into a political vacuum left by discredited traditional parties from the left and right.

NEW ORLEANS (AP)David McCormack’s two late baskets in the paint to help Kansas surge past North Carolina during the NCAA championship game followed a Final Four trend.
The way teams played in the post had a major influence on how the games turned out.
McCormack scored the final four points of Monday night’s national title game to finish with 15 points and 10 rebounds in Kansas’ 72-69 triumph.
”It shows how much trust coach (Bill Self) and teammates have in me,” McCormack said. ”Coach called the play and said we’re going to throw it inside and we have trust in you and faith in you to deliver and get us a basket. I just prevailed, I made the basket happen. I appreciate them for allowing me to have that opportunity.”
The late-game heroics capped a memorable Final Four for the Jayhawks’ big man.
McCormack’s final basket came after Tar Heels center Armando Bacot, whose strong start helped stake North Carolina to a 15-point halftime lead, needed help getting to the bench after re-aggravating an ankle injury that occurred during the second half of his influential semifinal performance on Saturday night.
In Saturday’s semifinal game against Villanova, the Wildcats lacked the size to handle the 6-foot-10 McCormack, who had two inches on anyone guarding him. He threw down several thunderous dunks and motioned repeatedly to Kansas fans to ”raise the roof” of the Superdome on his way to a game-high 25 points.
The Jayhawks rolled to an 81-65 victory in which they led most of the second half by double digits.
Bacot, meanwhile, outplayed Duke’s post players in the other semifinal.
With 7-1 Duke center Mark Williams in foul trouble and playing just 16 minutes, Bacot was able to take command of the paint, grabbing 21 rebounds to go with his 11 points. Williams finished with eight points and four rebounds, and the Tar Heels pulled out an 81-77 victory.
With McCormack and the Jayhawks’ 6-8 Mitch Lightfoot limited by foul trouble in the first half of the final, Bacot had 12 points and 10 rebounds through the first 20 minutes, despite his sore ankle. The Tar Heels led by as many as 16 points late in the first half.
But McCormack asserted himself in the second half, when he had nine points and seven rebounds. Bacot was limited to just three points and five rebounds in the final 20 minutes as Kansas outscored the Tar Heels by 18 to pull off the largest comeback in an NCAA Tournament title game.
Bacot said playing McCormack while hobbled ”was definitely tough just because he’s a bigger guy.”
”I really couldn’t, the whole game, get the push on anything on my post-ups, defensively, anything,” Bacot added. ”It was just hard for me to really just stand my ground.”
McCormack simply wouldn’t be denied down the stretch. The first of the late baskets for came after rebounding his own miss and putting the ball back up over two defenders.
”Game’s on the line. You’ve got adrenaline pumping. You’ve got a desire you’re going to get it,” McCormack said. ”Snatch a rebound with two hands. Coach talks about keeping the ball high and going right back up. That’s what was going through my mind. I’m right here, we work on touch shots every day. I’m able to use both hands. … Get a quick basket and get back on defense.”
While Kansas guard Ochai Agbaji was named the Final Four Most Valuable Player, the high-scoring guard indicated he would not have voted for himself, but his dominant teammate down low.
”If I really had a most outstanding player throughout the entire Final Four, it would be David,” Agbaji said.

Meet the chef running a female only kitchen at a Belfast restaurant
by Emma Patterson
In recent years Belfast has developed quite a reputation for good food; from Michelin star restaurants to quirky pop-ups, the city cultivates culinary innovation.
However, just one in five professional chefs in Northern Ireland are female.
That makes Gemma Austin’s restaurant the exception to the rule.
The Carryduff chef, who starred on two seasons of the Great British Menu, is backed by a fully female kitchen; from the kitchen porter to the head chef.
Gemma knows all too well the difficulties of climbing to the top of a male dominated industry.
“Being a female chef is harder. It’s a boys club and I noticed that from day one.
"It’s harder to go through the ranks, it’s harder to prove yourself, and females tend to be pushed into the pastry section.
"But it’s like everything. I always think that, female or male, if you put your head down and you work hard you’re going to do well, and here is a prime example of that.
"We have a full female team here and we, in my opinion, put out some of the best food in Belfast.”
Gemma has worked in the food industry for the past eight years, and from her days as a trainee to owning her own restaurant, she’s seen the hospitality industry change for the better, becoming more inclusive and, well, hospitable.
“I had only worked with one female chef until I had my own kitchen.
"I do see a trend in more females coming into the kitchen.
"People are really starting to notice that chefs maybe aren’t getting the work life balance that they deserve, the money was never overly good, but there is a lot of movement towards chefs getting the proper treatment.
"Maybe that’s attracting more females, but it’s nice to see more females coming into the industry, and into the kitchen.”

HealthComp's High-Touch Clinical Programs for Members Prove Valuable, New Independent Study Finds
Wakely researchers compared cost savings and utilization to industry averages to assess the effectiveness of HealthComp’s care management programs.
UNITED STATES, April 5, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- A new report from HealthComp, the nation’s largest third-party administrator (TPA) and a New Mountain Capital Company, details how HealthComp drove compelling financial outcomes and cost savings for its customers, as evidenced by its 2019 medical claims. Independent researchers specifically found new evidence about what makes HealthComp’s clinical care management effective and efficient.This analysis, conducted by the independent actuarial firm, Wakely, was adjusted for both risk and geography. Researchers found those who adopted HealthComp’s clinical care management programs saw 19% lower medical costs compared to the industry average and 30% lower utilization (i.e., the number of healthcare services administered for a given population).
“Waste in healthcare is no secret. The future of health benefits administration is about eliminating waste to re-invest savings towards improving the lives of entire employee populations, their families, and communities,” said Justin Tran, HealthComp’s Senior Vice President of Medical Cost Management. “One of employers’ highest business spends is on health plans, which averages $10,000 annually per employee. Our research demonstrates how important it is for health plan administrators to serve as plan members’ human touchpoints and advocates. Doing so better directs plan members to appropriate care and reduces unnecessary procedures and costs – by up to 30%, according to this empirical research,” he emphasized.
Five Key Findings
• Utilization – 30% lower overall utilization, including 14% lower outpatient utilization, by engaging members and improving treatment selections favoring lasting health results.
• Inpatient costs – Inpatient-allowed costs were 48% lower (representing $14.25 per employee per month, or PEPM, in savings) by helping members with chronic conditions sustain habits to avoid acute exacerbations and prevent readmissions.
• Emergency Room Solution Services – 32% lower emergency room utilization (representing $16.09 PEPM in savings) by rapidly aiding members to find alternate sites of care after single non-emergency visits.
• Radiology – 27% lower radiology/lab spending by engaging members and their care teams early to achieve optimal diagnostic intensity.
• Mommies 2-Be Program – 40% lower maternity spend by improving the rate of full-term pregnancies and supporting mothers with postpartum symptoms.

Biden orders push on long COVID, pandemic’s shadowy mystery
WASHINGTON (AP) — Confronting the pandemic’s lasting shadow, President Joe Biden on Tuesday is ordering a new national research push on long COVID, while also directing federal agencies to support patients dealing with the mysterious and debilitating condition.
The White House said Biden is assigning the Department of Health and Human Services to coordinate an urgent new initiative across federal agencies, building on research already under way at the National Institutes of Health.
Biden also directed federal agencies to support patients and doctors by providing science-based best practices for treating long COVID, maintaining access to insurance coverage, and protecting the rights of workers as they try to return to jobs while coping with the uncertainties of the malaise.
Long COVID is the catch-all term for a hydra-headed condition whose symptoms can include brain fog, recurring shortness of breath, pain and fatigue. It is roughly estimated to affect as many as 1 in 3 people who recover from COVID-19, although the severity and duration of symptoms vary. Despite intense investigation, the causes of long COVID are not yet well understood and treatment largely focuses on helping patients cope with their symptoms as they try to rebalance daily routines.
The White House also acknowledged that long COVID appears to be a disability, meaning that patients could be entitled to the protection of federal laws that prohibit discrimination on account of health conditions and seek to create pathways for leading productive lives.
“The administration recognizes that the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in new members of the disability community and has had a tremendous impact on people with disabilities,” said a White House statement.
Some independent experts praised the Biden administration for a comprehensive plan to meet an emerging need but noted the lack of timeline for delivering results.
“This is a very important move on the part of the Biden administration to acknowledge that long COVID is real, that it is a significant threat, and that much more needs to be done,” said Dr. Leana Wen, a former Baltimore health commissioner and commentator on the pandemic. “The emphasis on treatment for long COVID and the recognizing this could be a source of ongoing disability are long overdue.”
A prominent advocate for COVID patients sensed a breakthrough.
“This is the first effort that truly comports with the needs of people who are suffering,’’ said Diana Berrent, founder of Survivor Corps, a support group that connects patients with government and private researchers.
Advocates have been clamoring “for the government to create a command center for long COVID,” she added. “Up until now, that hasn’t existed.’’
“I see this as a global, comprehensive approach to an extremely thorny issue that has previously received a scattershot approach,” Berrent said.
Medical research thus far has led to theories about what causes long COVID, but no single root. One theory revolves around lingering infection or virus remnants that may trigger inflammation in the body. Another possibility involves autoimmune system responses that mistakenly attack normal cells. Researchers are also investigating the role of tiny clots.
The White House said Biden’s order will expand and build on a $1 billion research study already underway at NIH, called the RECOVER Initiative. One goal is to speed signing up 40,000 people with and without long COVID into the study. Around that effort, Health and Human Services will coordinate a government-wide research plan on long COVID.
Treatment is another major focus. An HHS unit called the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality will investigate best practices and get useful guidance to doctors, hospitals and patients. The Department of Veterans Affairs, which already has 18 facilities running long COVID programs, will serve as an incubator of ideas and strategies for dealing with the condition.
Finally, the administration said its plan will provide direct support for patients by safeguarding access to insurance coverage and extending the umbrella of civil rights protections to people with long COVID. In keeping with Biden’s focus on reducing racial and ethnic disparities in health care, part of the emphasis will be on minority communities that have borne a high toll from COVID-19.
Federal health programs, which can serve as a model for private insurance, will look for ways to make sure that treatments for long COVID are covered and paid for. “The administration is working to make long COVID care as accessible as possible,” said a White House overview of Biden’s plan.

Abstract
Rear-end crashes have become a serious global issue, with increasing injuries and fatalities accounting for massive property loss. The purpose of this study is to investigate the variation in the influence of factors affecting injury severity in rear-end and non-rear-end crashes and the change in impact degree over time. Using the three-year crash data of the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway from 2017 to 2019, the heterogeneity and temporal stability of contributing factors affecting rear-end and non-rear-end crashes were investigated through a group of random parameter logit models with unobserved heterogeneity in means and variances. Then, the temporal stability and transferability of the models were evaluated using likelihood ratio tests. Moreover, the marginal effects were calculated to explore the temporal stability and potential heterogeneity of the contributing variables from year to year. Using four possible injury severity outcomes, namely, fatal injury, severe injury, minor injury, and no injury, a wide variety of possible factors significantly affecting injury severity outcomes including environmental, temporal, spatial, traffic, speed, geometric, and sight distance characteristics were analyzed. Considerable differences were observed in the rear-end and non-rear-end crashes, and the contributing factors indicated statistically significant temporal instability in both crashes over the three-year period. This study can be of value in promoting highway safety aimed at rear-end and non-rear-end crashes and developing suitable safety countermeasures.

Tiger Woods’ amazing reaction after hitting buggy collecting golf balls on Masters practice range
TIGER WOODS achieved what only amateurs dream of as he prepares to show he's still an elite pro.
The American golfing icon couldn't help but chuckle as one of his practice drives ahead of his Masters comeback hit a buggy collecting balls.
It's one of the unspoken aims for mischievous weekend players - thudding a shot onto the ball-picker as it trundles across a driving range, running the gauntlet from drives that vary wildly in quality, accuracy and distance.
So nobody expected to see the American all-time great pull off the achievement as he nears an incredible return 14 months after suffering severe leg injuries in a car crash.
The 15-time Major winner, 46, took it in his stride as the ball made a huge 'clink' sound' off the mini-tractor, sparking a merry whoop from spectators.
And in fact, as the ball ricocheted straight up, it ended up being close to a hole-in-one.

Woods smiled and never lost his composure as he promptly planted another drive at the same hole.
The Californian insists he feels good enough to mount a serious challenge for a record-equalling sixth Augusta title.
First, though, he will put himself through a nine-hole practice round on Wednesday to confirm his leg can stand up to potentially four full days of golf at the very highest level.
He said on Tuesday: "I still have the hands to do it, the body is moving good enough.

"I have been in worse situations and won tournaments.
"I feel like if I can still compete at the highest level I am going to, but if I feel like I can't, you won't see me out here.
"The fact that I was able to get myself here at this point was a success and now that I am playing, everything is focused on getting in that position on the back nine on Sunday with a chance like I did a few years ago."

New York City employee Daniela Jampel was reportedly fired from her city job immediately after asking New York City Mayor Eric Adams why toddlers were still being forced to wear masks, according to the New York Post.
Jampel, who worked as an assistant corporation counsel for the city’s Law Department, was fired over email roughly an hour after confronting Adams at a press conference for changing course on his promise to lift mask mandates for toddlers, according to the NYP.
Adams stood behind a sign which read “come to the city where you can say whatever you want” while discussing plans to promote New York’s openness to the LGBT community on billboards targeting Florida’s Parental Rights in Education law, which bans classroom instruction on gender identity and sexual orientation in kindergarten through third grade. The ad campaign comes after a mass exodus of New Yorkers to Florida throughout the pandemic.
“Three weeks ago, you told parents to trust you that you would unmask our toddlers,” Jampel told Adams at the press conference. “Ten days ago, you stood right here and you said that the masks would come off on April 4th. That has not happened.” (RELATED : Guy Has Bizarre Meltdown Over People Not Wearing Masks In Washington D.C. In Viral Video)
.@NYCMayor lied parents.
He told us to “Trust me, they’ll be unmasked.”
He told us that the masks would be coming off April 4.
On April 1, he fought a court battle to keep his Toddler Mask Mandate. And then bragged about winning.

“You had your lawyers race to court on Friday night, arguing that there would be irreparable harm if children under five were allowed to take off their masks today,” Jampel continued. “So my questions are, what is the irreparable harm to children age two to four taking off their masks just as they do in Long Island, just as they do in Westchester?” (RELATED: Ted Cruz, Other Republicans Rip Kamala Harris For Going Maskless At Elementary School)
A representative from the Law Department told the NYP the decision to fire Jampel was made prior to the conference.
“In public statements, Ms. Jampel has made troubling claims about her work for the city Law Department,” the spokesperson reportedly said.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Most of the defendants in Florida's lawsuit over the opioid epidemic have settled for more than $870 million, according to the state attorney general. One remains: Walgreens Co. is not giving up.
A jury has been seated in Pasco County, Florida, just north of Tampa, to hear the state's case against Walgreens, a huge drug store chain with more than 9,000 outlets on streetcorners throughout the country. Opening statements are set for early next week.
The Deerfield, Illinois-based company says it will not settle.
“We are prepared for trial,” said Walgreens spokesman Fraser Engerman in an email.
Florida, led by Attorney General Ashley Moody, contends that Walgreens has been an integral part of the opioid epidemic. As examples of excess, Moody said in a statement that one Walgreens outlet sold 2.2 million opioid tablets in the town of Hudson, Florida, which has about 12,000 residents. Other Walgreens locations, according to the state, increased their orders for opioids by 600% in a two-year period.
“It's time for Walgreens to face accountability for their part in fueling the opioid crisis, and my team is prepared to vigorously try our strong case against them,” Moody said in a statement.
Walgreens denies the state's allegations.
The opioid epidemic has been linked to more than 500,000 deaths in the U.S. over the past two decades, counting those from prescription painkillers such as OxyContin and generic oxycodone as well as illicit drugs such as heroin and illegally produced fentanyl.
In the same case as Walgreens, Moody said CVS Health Corp. and CVS Pharmacy Inc. will pay the state $484 million. Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd. agreed to pay $195 million and Allergan PLC more than $134 million.
Florida has previously obtained millions of dollars in opioid settlements involving McKesson Corp., Cardinal Health Inc., Johnson & Johnson Inc. and AmerisourceBergen Corp.
That leaves Walgreens, at the moment, as the sole defendant in Florida's opioid case.
OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma has a tentative nationwide deal that includes $6 billion in cash from members of the Sackler family who own the company; drugmaker Johnson & Johnson and the distributors AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health and McKesson have finalized settlements totaling $26 billion.
In all, settlements, civil and criminal penalties since 2007 have totaled over $45 billion, according to an Associated Press tally.

MIAMI - A New York mobster who escaped federal custody in Florida has been rearrested, officials said.
Dominic Taddeo, 64, a hit man from a Rochester-area crime family who killed three men in the 1980s and tried to kill two others, was apprehended "without incident" in Hialeah, near Miami, on Monday, the U.S. Marshals service said in a news release.
Taddeo was in the final year of his sentence when he escaped from a federal halfway house in Orlando on March 28. The federal Bureau of Prisons said he failed to return from an authorized appointment and "was placed on escape status."
Taddeo pleaded guilty in 1992 to racketeering charges that included the killings of three other mobsters.

A federal judge denied Taddeo’s request for compassionate release last year, rejecting his claim that poor health put him at risk for serious complications from COVID-19.
He had been scheduled to be released from the halfway house in February 2023, US Marshals said.
Taddeo will likely face additional charges as a result of his latest escape.

An Orono man pleaded guilty Tuesday to being drunk when he drove nearly 100 miles an hour on a Lake Minnetonka road last summer and killed two passengers in a crash.
James D. Blue, 52, pleaded guilty in Hennepin County District Court to counts of criminal vehicular homicide in connection with the deaths of Mack Motzko, 20, and Sam Schuneman, 24, on July 24 after the car Blue was driving crashed into a wooded area near his Orono home.
Blue had a blood alcohol content of 0.175% and THC — the psychoactive compound in marijuana — gummies, and several crushed white pills and five green capsules were found in his pocket, the charges read. The legal limit for driving in Minnesota is 0.08%.
The plea does not include an agreement between the defense and prosecution about Blue's sentence. Prosecutors said they want Blue to receive a term of 7 1⁄2 years. Judge Regina Chu is scheduled to sentence Blue on May 5.
Dismissed are two counts of third-degree murder, the most serious of the initial charges, and two additional criminal vehicular homicide counts alleging gross negligence.
Motzko, of Orono, was the son of Bob Motzko, head coach of the University of Minnesota men's hockey team. Mack Motzko worked at the Minneapolis Golf Club while playing junior hockey for the Sioux Falls Stampede and the New Mexico Ice Wolves. He was an incoming recruit for the Penticton Vees, a junior hockey team in British Columbia.
Schuneman is originally from Maple Grove, but was living in Scottsdale, Ariz., at the time of the crash. He was home visiting family and friends.
Attorneys representing both families issued a statement after Blue's guilty pleas. It read: "Today's guilty plea by Mr. Blue is but the next step in achieving justice for Mack and Sam. While the families are relieved to avoid the trauma of a trial, they remain steadfastly committed to holding Mr. Blue accountable and securing full and complete justice for Mack and Sam. At this time, the families have no further comment."
Messages were left with Blue's attorney, Fred Bruno, seeking his comment on his client's decision to plead guilty.
In an interview last August, Motzko's parents, Bob and Shelley Motzko, and Schueneman's parents, Tom and Yvonne Schueneman, talked of their grief, compounded by disbelief that their sons' lives ended after a brief ride with a reckless stranger.
"There's two paths," Bob Motzko said. "We're trying to put our lives back together and then you've got this, because our son was taken from us, you have this anger, this never should have happened. It shouldn't happen to any parent."
According to the criminal complaint:
Police were called about 11:20 p.m. to the crash near the 3100 block of North Shore Drive. Blue's Bentley was in a wooded area with an uprooted tree on top of it.
Schuneman was deceased in the front passenger seat with his seat belt on. Motzko was trapped in his seat behind the driver's seat. He was wearing his seat belt. He was unconscious and struggling to breathe. He died after being hospitalized.
Police found Blue down among some trees 10 feet in front of the vehicle. He had been thrown from the vehicle and was injured but conscious. Blue admitted to being the driver and to drinking alcohol, the charges read.
A woman at the scene told police she was Schuneman's girlfriend and Motzko's sister. She said they were at a party at Blue's house, where the host showed the men his car. The woman urged the two men not to go for a ride with Blue in his 2017 Bentley Flying Spur, which court records said was worth $140,000.
Multiple witnesses from the party told police Blue was drinking shots of liquor and had eaten THC gummies.
Early analysis of Blue's airbag control module show that he was driving between 94 and 99 miles per hour when he crashed. The road, which has several curves, has a posted speed of 35 and 45 mph.

Getting pulled back in? Erika Jayne is facing a new lawsuit amid estranged husband Tom Girardi’s ongoing legal woes.
In a new case from Edelson PC, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 50, has been accused of using her public platform to “prolong” Girardi Keese’s alleged fraud scheme, according to court documents obtained by Us Weekly on Tuesday, April 5.
“We believe we will be able to prove to a jury that Tom’s firm was a long-running criminal enterprise, spanning over a decade and stealing over $100 million, much of [which] went into funding Tom and Erika’s outrageous lifestyle,” Jay Edelson from Edelson PC told Us in a statement on Tuesday. “Our filing makes clear what we have said from the start: we will fight tirelessly to hold all of the wrongdoers accountable.”
The new case, which was filed in the U.S. District Court — Northern District of California San Francisco, claims that Erika buried the truth about her 82-year-old estranged spouse’s alleged wrongdoings while they were married. (The pair called it quits in November 2020 after two decades of marriage.)
“We are aware, when it comes to Erika, that she has a powerful megaphone. We believe she has been using that megaphone to spread lies which enabled her husband’s firm to prolong its fraud,” Edelson’s statement continued. “It’s time for her to stop the lies and start taking some accountability.”
In the April filing — which is part of the Lion Air Flight JT 610 Crash case that has been going on since November 2018, with Erika initially being sued in December 2020 — Edelson claims that the Bravo personality’s lavish lifestyle is evidence of her and Tom’s misuse of funds.
“Tom and Erika routinely misappropriated client settlement money to project an image of wealth and to prop up a lifestyle made for reality TV,” the docs read.
The new case also lists nine different complaints against the estranged couple, including racketeering, conspiracy to commit racketeering, aiding and abetting concealment of stolen property and deceit.
The docs also call into question the “Pretty Mess” singer’s character, alleging, “When Erika joined the cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in 2015, she dazzled viewers by showing off their extravagant lifestyle and her exorbitant spending habits, including her never-ending parade of designer clothes and high-end jewelry, her $250,000 Lamborghini Huracán, and her personal 24/7 ‘glam squad’ team that she paid $40,000 per month to pick out her clothes and do her hair and makeup.”
However, the filing claimed that the Girardi Keese firm “was not actually making enough money to support Tom and Erika’s outrageous lifestyle,” which is why the former attorney allegedly “began to turn to a different source of funds.”
Although Edelson’s previous Lion Air case against Erika was dismissed in Illinois in January, the California filing is going after the reality star for her alleged knowledge of the legal scandal.
“While the core members of the Girardi Family Enterprise were defrauding the clients and stealing their money, Erika became increasingly aware that the money was drying up and that creditors were circling her,” Edelson claimed in the latest docs.
His firm further insinuated that Erika’s November 2020 divorce filing from Tom was done “in a sham attempt to protect her assets from creditors.”
According to the paperwork, the Georgia native’s separation was “timed perfectly, as just a few weeks later, the scheme was uncovered, and Tom and his firm were forced into bankruptcy by an avalanche of creditors, including clients such as the widows and orphans of the Lion Air crash, as well as lenders and other lawyers.”
Despite the legal back and forth, Erika has continued to maintain her innocence both on and off camera. “I feel terrible. This is not who I am. And I hope this is not who he is. … I hope that [Tom] has not done what is alleged here,” Erika said during the season 11 RHOBH reunion in October 2021.

Bobby Witt Jr., regarded as one of the top prospects in the major leagues, will break camp with the Kansas City Royals as the team's starting third baseman.
Witt, who is ranked No. 2 in ESPN's top prospects for the 2022 season, was given the news Tuesday by Royals manager Mike Matheny and general manager J.J. Picollo as some of his teammates watched on.
"All the guys were congratulating me," Witt told reporters, according to MLB.com. "I can't really put words to the feeling how it was. My stomach sank. Tears came to my eyes. It's something I'll never forget."
The 21-year-old, whose regular position is at shortstop, fills a need at third base. Adalberto Mondesi, who had been penciled in at third, will instead play shortstop, and Nicky Lopez will be at second base.
Witt, the No. 2 pick in the 2019 MLB draft out of high school, has a .406 batting average during spring training, with three home runs, 11 runs, 8 RBIs and 2 stolen bases in 32 at-bats.
His father, Bobby Witt Sr., spent 16 seasons in the majors as a pitcher for Texas, Oakland, Florida/Miami, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Cleveland and Arizona.

The Georgia Department of Public Health has removed the notice about the effects of the backlog of unreported cases, so we will resume reporting the numbers as the GDPH presents them.
The backlog numbers will still result in inflated cases numbers for Cobb County, but the deaths and hospitalizations should reflect only current numbers.
The numbers in this report were taken from the Georgia Department of Public Health COVID Daily Status Report, from the summary posted on the CDC County View data tracker, and from the Georgia Hospital Bed and Ventilator use report.
Cobb County numbers
The Georgia Department of Public Health displays its COVID statistics based on 14-day blocks.
New cases in Cobb over the past 14 days: 3,375
14-day case rate per 100,000 of population: 427
Number of Cases in Cobb since the pandemic began:137,968
Cases per 100,000 of population since the pandemic began: 17,451
Cobb numbers and rate from the CDC County View
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) gets its numbers from the Georgia Department of Public Health, but presents them in 7-day blocks rather than the 14-day blocks presented by the GDPH.
Statewide numbers reported today
Hospital bed and ventilator report
Region N which includes Cherokee, Cobb, Douglas and Paulding counties, has:
1,107 general inpatient beds in use out of 1,402 total beds, or 78.96%
158 ICU beds in use out of a total of 187 total ICU beds, or 84.49%.
164 ED beds in use out of 299 total beds, or 54.85%
73 ventilators in use out of 196 total ventilators, or 37.24%
3.2% of patients in Region N are classified as COVID-19 patients.
For more information on COVID in Cobb County and statewide
Cobb & Douglas Public Health runs the case rate on their home page, although it is not updated frequently.
Visit the Cobb & Douglas Public Health home page by following this link
A more frequently updated summary of the statistics on COVID for Cobb County is the CDC’s County View page for Cobb County. The numbers come from the Georgia Department of Public Health but are displayed in a much easier-to-read way than the sprawling GDPH website. From this page you can get the one-week figures on the number of new cases, case rate per 100,000 of population, hospitalizations, deaths, and the percentage change from the previous 7-day period. It also includes data on testing and vaccination rates.
Visit the CDC County View page for Cobb County by following this link
The Georgia Department of Public Health publishes a daily status report on the pandemic every afternoon at around 3 p.m. It’s a comprehensive report with extensive data and charts arranged statewide and by county, that also includes age breakdowns, racial demographics, and data on vaccination and testing.
It isn’t the easiest system to navigate, but it’s worth spending time learning how to use if you’re interested in getting the latest statewide and local data on the state of COVID-19.
Visit the Georgia Department of Public Health Daily Status Report by following this link
To get an overview of how much the pandemic is stressing the hospital systems in terms of ER visits, hospital bed capacity, and ventilator use, there is a Hospital Bed and Ventilator Use report with interactive maps. The map is organized by hospital region, and Cobb County is part of Region N.
Visit the Georgia Hospital Beds and Ventilator Report by following this link
To get data on what percentage of patients in Georgia hospitals were admitted for COVID-19 versus all other causes, there is a Georgia Medical Facility Patient Census. It also reports numbers by statewide and hospital region.

As usual, Ireland's census asks for people's names, ages and relationships. But a new time capsule feature could start some bigger conversations — 100 years from now.
At the end of this year's census form, people were given the chance to voluntarily add a time capsule message, which is set to remain private until 2122. It could be an opportunity to leave a message to future generations or historians.
The census, which took place Sunday, encouraged those filling out the voluntary form to consider what insights descendants might be able to learn about life in 2022 a century from now.
"Will they feel a strong connection with us, as we do now when we look up the individual census records from 1901 and 1911?" the census website asks.
People took different approaches to the time capsule, using the space to tell future readers about themselves that the census didn't otherwise leave space for.
One Twitter user filled the page with a musical score, and someone else drew an illustration of Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars. One user filled space with a comic.
Another person took the opportunity to remember a beloved child who died in a car crash and was never counted in a census.
"Feeling such comfort today after filling in the time capsule section in the #Census2022 last night. Estlin never was counted in a census but 100+ yrs from now she will be remembered & our ancestors will be able to read about her. Just incredible," the user tweeted.

Ireland's census is taken every five years, twice as often as the U.S. headcount. The latest census was planned for April 2021, but was delayed until this year because of the pandemic.
U.S. census records are released every 72 years. The 1950 census was made public on Friday, and includes details on families and relationships — but no time capsules.

- Hectre are bringing clever simplicity to the US orchard industry, delivering gains to fruit farmers
- The popular NZ fruit tech company were named winners in the global AgTech BreakThrough Awards and are now double finalists in another prestigious awards program
- Take a look under the hood of this Kiwi success story and find out what makes them shine
AUCKLAND, New Zealand, April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- For many businesses, 2021 was a wild ride, but despite the challenges, some companies shone. Popular NZ fruit tech company Hectre (pronounced Hectare) was a definite sparkler, winning at the global AgTech BreakThrough Awards and gaining a reputation for best in class among the US apple growing industry.
It's time to take a look under the hood to discover how this innovative company, built with buckets of "Kiwi" work ethic and a huge passion to deliver "better", has gone on to become one of the most exciting agritech companies on the global stage.
Last week, and perhaps unsurprisingly, Hectre were named finalists in two categories at the prestigious NZ Hi-Tech Awards. How did they arrive at this point?
It all started with an apple. It was 2016 and Hectre was a team of three visionary co-founders, who upon learning of the daily struggles faced by apple growers, set out to find a better way. In consultation with a group of growers, they created the design for the Hectre Orchard Management App and importantly, growers backed them.
Simon Easton, co-owner of Wairepo Orchards, grows apples near Nelson, in NZ's South Island, and still remembers when one of the founders, Menilik Dyer, turned up at his orchard with a large notebook and asked, "As a grower, what is it that you need that we could help with?" Easton was sick to death of writing out bin tickets - the labels that must go with each full fruit bin detailing the immense amount of origin data that growers have to capture (it's even greater now).
Easton is a numbers man and is driven by continually improving the performance of his orchard. He wants to get his hands on data so he can hone in on what's working well and identify opportunities to perform even better. He's enjoyed seeing the journey of the Hectre app from those early days to where it is now. "Being able to get cost info out of Hectre is awesome. To know that picking cost me this amount and pruning cost me that amount...I just love all of that."
"We've always been keen to roll up our sleeves, get alongside growers and learn everything we can from them. I think they respect the fact that we genuinely value their insights, their skills and their extraordinary commitment to what has to be one of the hardest industries to be in. When you consider that fruit growers only get one chance each year to make money (after harvest), and the rest of the time they're slogging their guts out and pouring in funds. It takes bravery and an immense amount of care and hard work to survive and thrive. Our team is continually in awe of the growers we work with," says Hectre Co-founder and CEO, Matty Blomfield.
In the first few years, Hectre built out the Hectre Orchard Management App, an app that enables fruit growers to digitise their orchards, removing all the double and triple handling of paper they traditionally deal with and the wasted time that goes with it. Growers can manage all their labour through the app, including auto calculation of piece rates, plus integration with payroll programs. The ability to gain insights on the performance of pickers and fruit quality, delivers direct benefits as growers continue to battle the challenges rising from the pandemic and environmental factors.
Those early relationships formed with NZ fruit growers, led to invaluable introductions to growers in one of the world's apple growing meccas, Washington, USA. "I remember one of our first US trips. We had recognised how important it was to have boots on the ground. So, with no appointments in place, we booked a flight to the US and then glued ourselves to the phone, calling up every grower we could and telling them we'd be in their area next week and could we meet," reflects Blomfield.
The app now covers numerous fruit types such as apples, pears, high value cherries, kiwifruit and more. And the Hectre app is currently being used by fruit growers and packers in 11 countries, including US industry giants Washington Fruit & Produce and Borton Fruit.
"The platform and tools they've built support fruit growers of all sizes, from small family farms, to large integrated global fruit institutions. We believe Hectre's dedication to constant innovation provides a significant competitive advantage and aligns well with our own approach to business," says Byron Borton, Chief Visionary Officer at Borton Fruit.
Hectre's innovation approach has centred on what they term, "clever simplicity". Creating leading edge tech for fruit growers and packers, with user simplicity at the forefront. Kylie Hall, Marketing Manager at Hectre, says that focus on clever simplicity has created a unique market advantage and one Hectre has become known for. "We recognise that it's not enough to just create awesome technology. We've got to be fully focused on who will be using that tech and how we can make it as simple as possible. That way, users can learn quickly, and our customers can optimise their tech investment, gaining full benefit from their spend."
In Waterport, New York, Lamont Fruit Farms are using Hectre's Orchard Management App. CEO Jason Woodworth says the insights are excellent. "Hectre is now the tool we use to evaluate all of our blocks in the true sense of real time. You can track each and every project and monitor costs from the start of pruning until the end of harvest. The staff are fantastic with support and are always thinking forward."
Two years ago, Hectre launched Spectre for Apples, a computer vision AI app that helps fruit growers and packers assess the size of their fruit, from the very first pick. In an industry where size really does matter, it's a crucial piece of information, enabling improved decision-making regarding storage and packing, and empowering growers and packers to secure sales orders earlier than ever before.
Spectre works straight off an iPad or iPhone and serves up sizing information within seconds. Users simply take a photo on their iPad and Spectre will detect and size more than 100 pieces of fruit from the fruit bin. Mobile, fast and simple. "We've since developed Spectre models to meet the needs of citrus packers too and are working with pilot customers this US harvest for Spectre for Cherries," notes Hectre R&D Manager, Luke Butters. The pilot was quickly oversubscribed.
The upcoming US apple harvest will see yet another leading-edge innovation delivered by Hectre, this time focused on providing insights for huge US apple packhouses. It will be another world first piece of fruit tech, developed by a Kiwi company shining brightly. "We'll share more about that later," grins Butters.
Today, Hectre now has the collective talents of a team of 34, spread across NZ, the US and Vietnam. "Our tech is delivering huge benefits for both growers and packers, but it's our people that really make the difference. Our people uncover the needs. They build our tech. They help growers learn our tech and they support the success of our customers. Each of them is humble, caring, hard working and hugely supportive of each other. They are our secret ingredient, and we value them highly," adds Hall.
David Downs, Chair of the NZ Hi-Tech Trust which organises the NZ Hi-Tech Awards program, says the standard of entries continues to grow each year. "This year's finalists span the full spectrum of the hi-tech sector, and the level of innovative tech products and solutions continues to astound us all." Hectre has been named a finalist for both the Most Innovative Hi-Tech Agritech Solution and for Hi-Tech StartUp Company of the Year.

EastEnders actor John Altman reckons his on-screen mum June Brown should have been a legend of the big screen.
John - famous as Dot Cotton's wayward son Nasty Nick on the soap - claimed that they took the BBC show roles for the cash and that decision cost them bigger roles in the movies.
He said: "I truly believe that June could have been a Penelope Keith or a Vanessa Redgrave if she'd had the 'Sliding Doors' moment we used to talk about.
"We both joined EastEnders because we needed the money and security it brought, but it has meant that lots of other doors have remained firmly shut to us and career opportunities have been limited.
"That's something I have worked hard to try and overcome but I know deep down a lot of people won't even consider a former East End bad boy for some of the roles I would love to play.
"I guess something has to give if you are prepared to shackle yourself to an institution like EastEnders."
Albert Square legend June passed away earlier this week aged 95 and Nick, 70, said that choosing a life in Walford instead of going for bigger parts was something the pair discussed.
He said: "I have spent a great deal of time wondering what would have happened if I hadn't been Nick Cotton, if my time in the theatre had continued without the TV soap interruption and what would have become of my acting path had I stuck to the more classical route.
"I discussed it a lot with my co-star June.
"She really understood my conflicting emotions when it came to my love/hate relationship with Nick Cotton – she had the same struggles when it comes to loving her own character, Dot Cotton."
In his memoirs, In The Nick Of Time, John also spoke of the strong bond the pair shared off camera.
He added: "The most important relationship and pairing for me was with June, Nick's long-suffering 'Ma'. Dot Cotton is an institution.
"Working with June was a constant joy – she was wonderfully particular about her scripts and like a terrier when it came to protecting and preserving the Dot she had created.
"I am aware there aren't many actors lucky enough to have a partner in performance so revered and skilled as June and I know Dot and Nick are the characters they are due to the spark we have together.
"My relationship with June deepened the more we worked together.
"I remember thinking she was a wise person; she was well liked by the rest of the cast too."

At WWE WrestleMania 38 Night Two, fans saw 76-year-old Vince McMahon wrestle a match. Let that sink in.
It was an interesting night of professional wrestling. It seems as though it won't be remembered as fondly as Night One, but it was a show packed with spectacles nonetheless.
Night Two had an excellent Raw Tag Team Title Match, one of the most entertaining comedy matches in WWE history, a unique bout between AJ Styles and Edge, and a surprising ending to the main event.
In the grand scheme of things, it seems likely that WrestleMania 38 on the whole will be considered a success by pro wrestling fans.
As we try to figure out how Vince McMahon took the worst Stone Cold Stunner in history, let's explore the five most surprising moments of WWE WrestleMania 38 Night Two.
#5. Triple H says goodbye at WWE WrestleMania 38 Night Two
WWE WrestleMania 38 Night Two kicked off with a surprising segment. Triple H’s music hit and he made the way to the ring. WWE let the moment breathe, and The Game, as he is wont to do, milked it for all it was worth.
Triple H made his traditional entrance, hugged his daughters and entered the ring to the cheers of a loud WrestleMania crowd. He thanked the WWE Universe and welcomed them to WrestleMania.
Upon leaving, his wrestling boots were shown in the middle of the ring, signifying his retirement. It was a simple gesture but one that resonated with WWE fans - a surprising and touching way to kick off WrestleMania 38 Night Two.
#4. The creativity of the Anything Goes Match at WWE WrestleMania 38 Night Two
You didn’t expect a match between Johnny Knoxville and Sami Zayn to be a serious bout, did you?
The Anything Goes Match at WrestleMania Night Two will certainly divide the viewing audience. Your enjoyment of this bout ultimately depends on what you are looking for in pro wrestling, but you have to admire the creativity of all involved here.
Fans saw garbage cans and tables used frequently. We had Party Boy dancing in his underwear to distract Zayn. The crowd went wild for Wee Man slamming Sami Zayn. Sami also took a bowling ball to the groin and tried to run away before getting hit by a giant hand. He even fell onto a table of mousetraps. Ouch.
The ending was unique, as the “Jackass” Team brought in a giant mousetrap. After some work, they were able to trap Sami Zayn and get the pinfall for Knoxville. Humor is certainly in the eye of the beholder, but it can't be denied that all involved worked hard to create a unique and fun bout at WrestleMania 38 Night Two.
#3. Damien Priest forms an alliance with Edge at WWE WrestleMania 38 Night Two
The Edge vs. AJ Styles match was one of the most anticipated bouts of the entire WrestleMania weekend. It was a dream match between two of the best wrestlers in the company's history. Did they live up to the hype at WrestleMania Night Two?
The match was likely not what a lot of fans were expecting. It was more of a slow-paced and counter-based fight. It seemed to take a while for the crowd to get into the action, which was also a surprise. However, the match did include a shocking ending.
As AJ Styles attempted to leap from the top rope, he noticed that Damien Priest was at ringside. This appearance briefly distracted Styles, who then attempted the Phenomenal Forearm. However, Edge caught him with a Spear and picked up the victory. Priest celebrated with Edge post-match.
Is this the start of a new stable for Edge? It's hard to say, but it was surprising to see the alliance begin at WrestleMania Night Two. It's doubtful that this will be the last we see of the Edge-Styles feud.
#2. Vince McMahon wrestles and wins at WWE WrestleMania 38 Night Two
On WrestleMania 38 Night One, fans saw 57-year-old Stone Cold Steve Austin wrestling his first match in 19 years. It was a special moment. What would WWE do for an encore on Night Two? Why not have the 76-year-old owner of the company wrestle a match? Crazy to say the least.
After Pat McAfee defeated Austin Theory, he proceeded to trash-talk Theory and Vince McMahon. This angered the boss, who decided to take off his suit and tie and enter the ring. Vince McMahon was about to have his first pro wrestling match in a decade. Who saw that coming?
It won’t go down as a mat classic, but it was quite a WrestleMania moment. To see Stone Cold and Vince McMahon interact yet again on Sunday night was fun as well. Nostalgia should be allowed from time to time in pro wrestling. We saw that a lot at WrestleMania Night Two.
#1. Roman Reigns pins Brock Lesnar clean at WWE WrestleMania 38 Night Two
The main event of WrestleMania Night Two was the long-anticipated match between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar. The stakes were higher than they've possibly ever been - both of the company's top titles on the line.
Could Roman Reigns and Lesnar live up to the billing of “The Biggest WrestleMania Match of All Time”? When it was all over, most WWE fans would say no.
The match was similar to others between the two. It featured a plethora of wrestling's most basic moves and an overload of finishing maneuvers. It had a lot of near-falls as well.
Partway through the match, however, The Tribal Chief seemed to suffer a shoulder injury. Brock went for an F5 shortly after, but was shoved into the ropes by Roman and received a Spear for his troubles. Then, very suddenly, the match was over, with Brock Lesnar pinned cleanly in the middle of the ring.
It was an abrupt ending to “The Biggest WrestleMania Match of All Time”. And it signifies that the feud between Lesnar and Reigns is finally over. However, it does lead to the obvious question: who can possibly defeat Roman Reigns at this point? That is a question for another time and maybe another WrestleMania.
Brock Lesnar has an unexpected challenger. Catch the SK Exclusive here.

Three die in two-truck crash in Punta Gorda
PUNTA GORDA — Three people are dead after a head-on collision between a pickup and a tractor-trailer shortly after 2:30 a.m. on Saturday. The crash occurred on Bermont Road (County Road 74).

Dr. Gin, Executive Vice President and Chief Quality Officer, The Permanente Federation, Recognized for Leading Transformative Programs to Improve Maternal Health
OAKLAND, Calif., April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Permanente Federation today announced that Nancy Gin, MD, regional medical director of quality and clinical analysis, Southern California Permanente Medical Group, and executive vice president and chief quality officer, The Permanente Federation, was recognized by Modern Healthcare as one of this year's "25 Top Innovators."
The recognition honors individuals who are leading transformative programs that improve care by achieving measurable results and contributing to the clinical and financial goals of the organization. Dr. Gin was recognized for her leadership in transforming perinatal care during the COVID-19 pandemic by instituting a comprehensive program that provided pregnant women with devices such as blood pressure cuffs for frequent monitoring to help reduce complications. Along with comprehensive instructions and guidance for video visits during prenatal appointments, patients received a variety of products, including cuffs, scales and fetal Doppler monitors. The remote monitoring program was featured as part of the Office of Vice President Kamala Harris' recent White House request to partner on "Call to Action for Maternal Health."
"This honor recognizes Permanente Medicine — a philosophy that guides our clinical practice and our commitment to delivering high-quality care that embraces the latest innovations in medicine," said Dr. Gin, who oversees a portfolio that includes coordination of the national clinical quality programs throughout Kaiser Permanente and who collaborates with other leaders to implement processes and programs that advance care for more than 12.5 million members. "It also pays tribute to our Permanente physicians and staff for continuously improving and maintaining the health of women and children by providing the best and safest place to have a baby."
As COVID-19 swept the nation, Kaiser Permanente rapidly pivoted and moved many prenatal and post-partum in-person interactions to virtual encounters to limit potential exposure, while hospital labor and delivery units operated under extraordinary circumstances. The resulting perinatal remote monitoring pathway highlights Kaiser Permanente's ability to innovate during major health care disruptions.
As part of the program, the organization developed a virtual visit that includes home monitoring for blood pressure, weight and Doppler monitoring for fetal heart tones. It also created an implementation guide for planning information and a starter set of perinatal remote monitoring program materials, such as templates for checklists and workflows, and program materials for member-facing clinical resources.
Dr. Gin's program was one of many initiatives honored by Modern Healthcare for exemplifying leadership and transforming how people receive care.
"This year's Top 25 Innovators not only have the courage to try new ideas and approaches, but they also have the vision to turn them into tangible improvements in patient outcomes and experiences, population health, efficiency and cost-effectiveness," said Modern Healthcare Publisher Fawn Lopez. "Their innovative leadership serves as a model to aspire to, and we congratulate them for their achievements."

A second chance in Salt Lake? For the recently ousted housewife Mary M. Cosby, it's not entirely out of the question.
At least, that's what her former Real Housewives of Salt Lake City co-star Meredith Marks seems to think. The jewelry designer said as much during an exclusive interview with E! News at the GLAAD Media Awards in Los Angeles on April 2 after revealing that she'd spoken to Mary that morning.
"She was just chitchatting away," Meredith said. "I was actually with a friend last night who was asking about her. I was like, 'Oh, let's call her.' And we left her [a] voice mail. She called me back this morning."
And despite no longer being on the Bravo series, "She's doing great," Meredith added. "She's very happy. She's at peace with everything."
Mary famously skipped the RHOSLC season two reunion, which sealed her fate on the show, a source close to production told E! in February. "Mary has not been filming," the source noted, "and production has no plans to film with her for season three." (Andy Cohen later confirmed that Mary would indeed no longer be a cast member on the show.)
Hypothetically speaking, though—if Mary was ever given the chance to return to RHOSLC, would she? "I mean, I would never say never," Meredith responded. "But I don't think it's likely."
Though season three will be the show's first without Mary—season two newcomer Jennie Nguyen will also not return as she was fired for sharing several racially insensitive posts—fans shouldn't expect any less drama. In fact, Meredith said viewers are in for "a wild ride."
"I mean, you guys saw season two," she told E! News. "It was crazy, and the chaos just continues."
"We ended last winter with a lot of drama, a lot of conflicts," Meredith added. "And so you'll see us trying to process and hopefully we get some resolution, at least in some of these relationships.
Perhaps she's referring to her friendship with Lisa Barlow. The longtime BFFs had a falling-out that ended in Lisa unloading on Meredith in a vicious hot-mic moment, and though she apologized at the reunion, it was clear that Meredith was still seriously hurt.
But for now, she's channeling her energy into her work and "a lot of very exciting new projects."
"I probably can't really talk much about [it] because a lot of it's going to be integrated into season three," Meredith explained. "But I do have a very exciting new venture that will tie back to everything here tonight. And we are hoping to release our coffee pretty soon."
Her ultimate career goal? "Becoming a lifestyle brand."
Catch up with The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City on Peacock.

OKLAHOMA CITY — The Oklahoma House gave final legislative approval on Tuesday to a bill that would make performing an abortion a felony, punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
With little discussion and no debate, the Republican-controlled House voted 70-14 to send the bill to Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt, who has previously said he'd sign any anti-abortion bill that comes to his desk.
The bill is one of several anti-abortion measures still alive in Oklahoma's Legislature this year, part of a trend of GOP-led states passing aggressive anti-abortion legislation as the conservative U.S. Supreme Court is considering ratcheting back abortion rights that have been in place for nearly 50 years.
The Oklahoma bill, which passed the Senate last year, makes an exception only for an abortion performed to save the life of the mother, said GOP state Rep. Jim Olsen, of Roland, who sponsored the bill. Under the bill, a person convicted of performing an abortion would face up to 10 years in prison and a $100,000 fine.
"The penalties are for the doctor, not for the woman," Olsen said.
Similar anti-abortion bills approved by the Oklahoma Legislature in recent years have been stopped by the courts as unconstitutional.
The bill's passage came on the same day as more than 100 people attended a "Bans Off Oklahoma" rally outside the Capitol in support of abortion rights.
"These legislators have continued their relentless attacks on our freedoms," said Emily Wales, interim president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Great Plains Votes. "These restrictions are not about improving the safety of the work that we do. They are about shaming and stigmatizing people who need and deserve abortion access."
Wales said Planned Parenthood's abortion clinic in Oklahoma has seen an 800% increase in the number of women from Texas after that state passed the most restrictive anti-abortion law in the U.S. in decades.
The Texas law that took effect last year bans abortion once cardiac activity is detected, usually around six weeks of pregnancy, without exceptions in cases of rape or incest.
Also Tuesday, the Oklahoma House adopted a resolution to recognize lives lost due to abortion and urge citizens to fly flags at half-staff on Jan. 22, the day the U.S. Supreme Court legalized abortion in its landmark 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade.
