Bucyrus police: Details on shooting death will be released Friday
Additional information about a shooting death on the city's west side will be released Friday, according to the Bucyrus Police Department.
"We don't have anything new that we can release today on the homicide," Capt. Tom Walker, the department's public information officer, said at midday Thursday. He said he expected to be able to release information Friday morning. "As soon as we get the OK for release from the prosecutor's office, we will provide more."
On Wednesday, the department reported that a 49-year-old woman had died after suffering a gunshot wound to the head in the 600 block of West Mansfield Street at 2:07 a.m. that morning.
After being treated at the scene, the woman was taken to Avita Health System-Bucyrus Hospital, where she died. A 52-year-old man, who Walker said was considered a suspect, was arrested at the scene and taken to the Crawford County Sheriff's Office. | https://www.bucyrustelegraphforum.com/story/news/crime/2022/05/19/bucyrus-police-details-shooting-death-released-friday/9838643002/ | 2022-05-19T18:38:32Z | https://www.bucyrustelegraphforum.com/story/news/crime/2022/05/19/bucyrus-police-details-shooting-death-released-friday/9838643002/ | true | 2 |
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., May 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The 2022 HR Tech Awards today announced hireEZ, the leading AI-powered outbound recruiting platform, as the winner of this year's award for Best DEI-Enabling Solution, in the Talent Acquisition category.
Powered by Lighthouse Research & Advisory, the annual HR Tech Awards provides peer-reviewed feedback on solutions purpose-built to serve employers and the workforce. The program has a rigorous judging component with a panel of independent practitioners, consultants, and educators who evaluate each submission.
As more organizations make strides to create inclusive, welcoming, and diverse workplaces that bring forward the voices of underrepresented groups, having the right tools to discover and engage with diverse talent networks, while preventing bias, is critical to meeting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) goals. With the use of diversity filters, hireEZ's outbound recruiting platform enables employers to easily source for talent among underrepresented groups, including Black, Native American, Hispanic and Latinx, women, veterans, and LGBTQ individuals.
"For the first time ever in our research, DEI has reached the number one hiring priority for employers, with sourcing coming in second place. hireEZ is helping hiring teams tackle both of those challenges with a robust platform and integrations that bring out the best value in their existing TA tech stack," said Ben Eubanks, Chief Research Officer, Lighthouse Research & Advisory.
Powered by AI and machine learning, the hireEZ platform ensures candidate matches are 100% skills-focused rather than determining viability based on traditional and less inclusive resume criteria. Additionally, blind search features allow talent acquisition teams to remove candidate information such as gender or race to mitigate for bias in the hiring process.
"Employers today have an amazing opportunity to leverage technology to build the most innovative, inclusive workforces we've ever seen," said Steven Jiang, CEO and co-founder at hireEZ. "Progress toward diversity, equity, and inclusion starts with hiring, and we're honored to give our customers the best tools on the market to find and hire the best people."
hireEZ and other award winners were celebrated in a livestream announcement Wednesday. For additional information and to see the full list of winning firms this year, visit HRTechAwards.org.

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Vangelis, the Greek electronic composer who wrote the unforgettable Academy Award-winning score for the film “Chariots of Fire” and music for dozens of other movies, documentaries and TV series, has died at 79.
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and other government officials expressed their condolences Thursday. Greek media reported that Vangelis — born Evangelos Odysseas Papathanassiou — died in a French hospital late Tuesday.
“Vangelis Papathanassiou is no longer among us,” Mitsotakis tweeted.
The opening credits of “Chariots of Fire” roll as a bunch of young runners progress in slow motion across a glum beach in Scotland, as a lazy, beat-backed tune rises to a magisterial declamation. It’s one of the most instantly recognizable musical themes in cinema — and its standing in popular culture has only been confirmed by the host of spoofs it has sired.
The 1981 British film made Vangelis, but his initial encounter with success came with his first Greek pop band in the 1960s.
He evolved into a one-man quasi-classical orchestra, using a vast array of electronic equipment to conjure up his enormously popular undulating waves of sound. A private, humorous man — burly, with with shoulder-length hair and a trim beard — he quoted ancient Greek philosophy and saw the artist as a conduit for a basic universal force. He was fascinated by space exploration and wrote music for celestial bodies, but said he never sought stardom himself.
Still, a micro-planet spinning somewhere between Mars and Jupiter — 6354 Vangelis — will forever bear his name.
Born on March 29, 1943 near the city of Volos in central Greece, Vangelis started playing the piano at age 4, although he got no formal training and claimed he never learned to read notes.
“Orchestration, composition — they teach these things in music schools, but there are some things you can never teach,” he said in a 1982 interview. “You can’t teach creation.”
At 20, Vangelis and three friends formed the Forminx band in Athens, which did very well in Greece. After it disbanded, he wrote scores for several Greek films and later became a founding member — together with another later-to-be internationally famous Greek musician, Demis Roussos — of Aphrodite’s Child. Based in Paris, the progressive rock group produced several European hits, and their final record “666,” released in 1972, is still highly acclaimed.
Aphrodite’s Child also broke up, and Vangelis pursued solo projects. In 1974, he moved to London, built his own studio and cooperated with Yes frontman Jon Anderson, with whom he recorded as Jon and Vangelis and had several major hits.
But his huge breakthrough came with the score for “Chariots of Fire” that told the true story of two British runners competing in the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris. Vangelis’ score won one of the four Academy Awards the film won, including best picture. The signature piece is one of the hardest-to-forget movie tunes worldwide — and has also served as the musical background to endless slow-motion parodies.
Vangelis later wrote music scores for Ridley Scott’s “Blade Runner” (1982) and “1492: Conquest of Paradise” (1992), as well as for “Missing” (1982) and “Antarctica” (1983), among others.
He refused many other offers for film scores, saying in an interview: “Half of the films I see don’t need music. It sounds like something stuffed in.”
Vangelis was wary of how record companies handled commercial success. With success, he said, “you find yourself stuck and obliged to repeat yourself and your previous success.”
His interest in science — including the physics of music and sound — and space exploration led to compositions linked with major NASA and European Space Agency projects. When British theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking died in 2018, Vangelis composed a musical tribute for his interment that the ESA broadcast into space.
Vangelis brought forth his symphonic swells playing alone on a bank of synthesizers, while flipping switches as his feet darted from one volume pedal to another.
“I work like an athlete,” he once said.
He avoided the lifestyle excesses associated with many in the music industry, saying that he never took drugs — “which was very uncomfortable, at times.”
Vangelis said he didn’t ever experiment with his music and usually did everything on the first take.
“When I compose, I perform the music at the same time, so everything is live, nothing is pre-programmed,” he said.
The composer lived in London, Paris and Athens, where he bought a house at the foot of the Acropolis that he never dolled up, even when his street became one of the most desirable pedestrian walks in town. The neoclassical building was nearly demolished in 2007 when government officials decided that it spoilt the view of the ancient citadel from a new museum built next door, but eventually reconsidered.
Vangelis received many awards in Greece, France and the U.S. Little was known of his personal life besides that he was an avid painter.
“Every day I paint and every day I compose music,” he said — in that order.

BOARDMAN, Ohio (WKBN) — A suspect not only bought cigarettes and got cash with play money, but he also won the lottery with his ill-gotten gains.
Officers were called to a Giant Eagle grocery store in Boardman, Ohio, on Tuesday evening on reports of fraud.
Employees told police that a man known to the store used $100 bills of play money to buy cigarettes, get change, and then cash out a $100 fake bill for five $20s.
He then used some of the real money to buy lottery tickets at a machine in the store and won $100.
The fake bills were discovered after an employee was closing the cash register.
Police noted the fake bills were marked “The United States Play Money.”
Police were shown a still image of the suspect, who was identified by employees. The suspect’s name was not immediately released.
The investigation is ongoing. | https://myfox8.com/news/suspect-uses-play-money-wins-lottery-at-ohio-store/ | 2022-05-19T18:47:55Z | https://myfox8.com/news/suspect-uses-play-money-wins-lottery-at-ohio-store/ | false | null |
Area baseball wrapped up last night as Southern Lyon County and Northern Heights High School were eliminated from the postseason.
SLC lost to a formidable Crest High School team (20-0) yesterday evening after defeating Jayhawk-Linn High School, 5-4, in an afternoon matchup.

Those pulsing synth chords are Miley Cyrus’ Bangerz-era single “Wrecking Ball.”
Did you guess it?
Cyrus’ career has run the gamut from Disney mainstay to freewheelin’ rock n’ roller.
Across her 7 studio albums, Cyrus has tried on many genres – country, hip-hop, and even glam rock a la Billy Idol – all of which seem to be the right fit.
Cyrus shot to stardom while helming the Disney Channel original series Hannah Montana. The 4 season run was a boon for the network, racking up over 7 million viewers every episode.
As her time playing the blonde-locked pop star came to a close, Cyrus began focusing on releasing her own music. Her subsequent albums pushed the boundaries of not only her sugar-coated Disney image but of genre constraints as well.
“Wrecking Ball” was the second single from her 2013 album, Bangerz. Often tied to her first break-up with actor Liam Hemsworth, the track references the aftermath of a tumultuous relationship.
I came in like a wrecking ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break your walls
All you ever did was wreck me
The song’s video helped skyrocket the single to the No. 1 spot on the U.S. charts. In the visual, Cyrus keeps true to the song’s lyrics and swings into frame atop a wrecking ball.
Cyrus has most recently shared a live album titled ATTENTION: MILEY LIVE. The album brings her set from the 2021 Super Bowl Music Fest to life. The fan-curated setlist showcases both new offerings and old familiar favorites. | https://americansongwriter.com/hints-to-help-you-solve-todays-heardle-answer-may-19/ | 2022-05-19T18:50:46Z | https://americansongwriter.com/hints-to-help-you-solve-todays-heardle-answer-may-19/ | true | 1 |

Unexplained Hepatitis still remains a mystery as more children fall ill
ATLANTA, Ga. (KJCT) - The Center for Disease Control is investigating an as-of-yet unexplained Hepatitis outbreak in children. Most of the children are under the age of five, and more than half have tested positive for an Adenovirus, which typically cause stomach upset and respiratory problems. Nearly all of the children were hospitalized, and five have died, with no reported fatalities since February.
71 additional children have fallen ill since the last update from the CDC two weeks ago, bringing the total up to 180 afflicted kids from 36 different states. Cases began appearing in October of 2021.
Adenoviruses are a common virus family found in many environments, typically infecting a broad range of vertebrates and causing dozens of different diseases of varying severity.
Investigation into the cause is still ongoing.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Predicting the production for a certain NFL player before an upcoming season can be difficult. Most players, though, will tell you that the next year offers plenty of opportunities to prove their value, to show improvement, to increase the chances of maximizing their earning potential.
The contract year for a player is often a stressful one. The journey is a 17-game season — more if your team earns a playoff berth — in which performance, durability and consistency are examined before the next chapter that is unrestricted free agency.
The Chiefs’ first step of the 2022 season comes next week when the team’s voluntary workouts start Tuesday. The team has several players who can be considered as entering a contract year, even if the 2022 season is not technically the final year of their contract. Each player is expected to have a pivotal role for the Chiefs during a pivotal moment in his career.
“I’d tell you in that situation, money talks, right?” coach Andy Reid said of a player’s contract year. “They’re all going to try their best to have their best year, but within the framework of the team. You don’t want somebody that’s out there just playing for themselves, obviously. There’s still a team element involved. You normally are going to get their best during those contract years — or at least that’s what I’ve found.”
Here’s a look at nine players who are expected to make the Chiefs’ 53-man roster and have the chance to demonstrate their value before upcoming contract negotiations.
WR Mecole Hardman
Hardman, a four-year veteran entering the final year of his rookie contract, is a prime candidate to raise his stock. Hardman’s role within the Chiefs’ offense increased the moment general manager Brett Veach traded Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins for a package of five draft picks. Known for being a speedster, Hardman has improved his receiving yards every season. A successful season for Hardman would include him producing more than 1,000 receiving yards, which would show him continuing to harness his potential while taking advantage of the increased touches from superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
“A once-in-a-generation type of player has left the team, so somebody has to step up and fill the role,” Hardman said last month of Hill’s departure. “I just want to get better as an overall receiver and establish my name a little bit more. The opportunity is bigger. It’s up to me to be prepared for that.”

— J.Bush CSCS, USAW, PES (@JBush____) April 11, 2022
Veteran Marquez Valdes-Scantling and rookie Skyy Moore are the only prominent receivers the Chiefs are committed to beyond 2022, so a productive season could lead Hardman to a lucrative contract extension with the team. Or Hardman could sign a deal in free agency for around $16 million per season.
S Juan Thornhill
In 2019, Thornhill was the second player the Chiefs selected in the second round of the NFL Draft, behind Hardman. Thornhill’s rookie season was his best as he made an instant impact for defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo as a rangy free safety who prevented deep completions. But Thornhill’s career was altered when he suffered a torn left ACL in the regular-season finale. Since then, Thornhill has struggled to regain his full athleticism while also beginning last season on the bench while veteran Daniel Sorensen started in his previous role.
The best scenario for Thornhill is that he remains healthy and generates better statistics than during his rookie season, when he recorded five pass breakups and three interceptions, including one he returned for a touchdown.

— The_Juan_And_Only (@Juan_Thornhill) April 30, 2022
DE Frank Clark
Clark, an eight-year veteran, understands this season is essentially a contract year, especially when you consider how the final year of his deal, in 2023, is structured. Earlier this spring, in March, Clark elected to stay on the team by restructuring his contract, as he set to earn a $3.7 million base salary. The Chiefs, however, can create $19 million in salary-cap space next year, while taking a $9 million cap hit in dead money, if they release Clark, according to Over The Cap.
“I really like Frank,” Reid said in late March during the NFL owners’ meetings. “He’s got a good heart. I don’t think this past year was his best year, but I know there’s a good year in there. I think this offseason will be very important, how he handles it conditioning-wise and so on.
“He can still play. He’s just got to have a good offseason. He knows he didn’t have his best year. He’ll come in and have a good year this year and get a chance to either stay with us or move on. He understands the business. He’s a smart kid.”
Indications are that Clark has had a successful offseason, one that should set him up to be fully healthy in late July for the start of training camp. If Clark can collect eight or more sacks and maintain his durability this season, he could make around $8 million in free agency.

DT Chris Jones
Jones being included in this group could surprise some people. Jones, though, has just two years left on the four-year extension that he signed in 2020. Similar to Clark’s situation, the Chiefs can create $20 million in salary-cap space next year, while taking a $7 million cap hit in dead money, if they release Jones, who, at age 27, is a seven-year veteran.
Jones, however, has been a more productive pass rusher than Clark the past two seasons. Last year, Jones tried to be an impact defender as a defensive end. But the experiment was a failure. Jones returned to his natural position in the middle of the season and generated consistent pressure, finishing with nine sacks, 17 quarterback hits and five pass breakups. With a full season in the interior of the Chiefs’ pass rush, Jones is capable of recording 10 or more sacks. He can also increase his value with a memorable playoff run because he has yet to record a sack in 12 postseason games.
In the past, Jones has expressed his desire to play his entire career with the Chiefs. Once Hill was traded, Jones became the lone remaining member of the team’s 2016 draft class. In the future, if Jones wants to become the highest-paid player at his position — something Hill sought to fulfill this offseason — the Chiefs could trade him for draft picks. Another option for the Chiefs in the 2024 offseason is to place the franchise tag on Jones to prevent him from reaching free agency.
Love you KC.

CB Rashad Fenton
Last season, Fenton was the sixth-best cornerback in the league, according to the overall grade he earned from Pro Football Focus. In 14 games, he produced seven pass breakups and a forced fumble. Similar to Hardman and Thornhill, Fenton is entering the final year of his rookie contract, as he was selected in the sixth round.
The next objective for Fenton is to return fully healthy at some point during training camp after he had minor shoulder surgery last month. This season, Fenton’s role could be nickel cornerback after the Chiefs selected rookie cornerback Trent McDuffie with the 20th pick.

— The Checkdown (@thecheckdown) October 6, 2020
At the start of the league’s free-agency period in March, veteran cornerback J.C. Jackson signed a five-year, $82.5 million deal, with $40 million guaranteed, with the Los Angeles Chargers. Jackson was the seventh-best cornerback last season, according to Pro Football Focus.
If Fenton matches the statistics former Chiefs cornerback Charvarius Ward generated last season — 13 games, two interceptions and 10 pass breakups — he could sign a deal in free agency next year similar to what Ward received from the San Francisco 49ers: three years, $40.5 million.
WR JuJu Smith-Schuster
Even before Hill was traded, Smith-Schuster was in a contract year, as he signed a one-year, $3.25 million deal that could increase to $10.75 million through incentives. The Chiefs are optimistic that Smith-Schuster can be their No. 2 wide receiver, a reliable slot target for Mahomes.
Last season, Smith-Schuster played in just five games and recorded 15 receptions for 129 yards while scoring a rushing touchdown. He missed the rest of the season with a right shoulder injury that required surgery in October. Durability and consistent production, on third-down plays and in the red zone, will allow Smith-Schuster to earn more money next year when he hits free agency again at age 26.
RB Ronald Jones
Jones, a five-year veteran, joined the Chiefs as their No. 2 running back when he signed a one-year, $1.5 million contract with $750,000 guaranteed. Jones can earn an additional $3.5 million by achieving certain incentives. The hope is that Jones can have a season similar to what he did with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020, when he produced 1,143 all-purpose yards and earned a Super Bowl ring alongside legendary quarterback Tom Brady.
If Clyde Edwards-Helaire, a three-year veteran, struggles with his durability, Jones could further demonstrate his value as a spot starter.

DT Derrick Nnadi
Perhaps the Chiefs’ most underrated defender last season, Nnadi returned to the team by signing a one-year, $2.75 contract. Nnadi played on just 40 percent of the Chiefs’ defensive snaps last season after the team signed former defensive tackle Jarran Reed, whose performance was underwhelming at times. Nnadi still produced a career-high three sacks and 38 tackles in 10 games. He should play more snaps this season alongside Jones, which could create advantageous one-on-one opportunities for him to excel.
LT Orlando Brown
Of course, Brown could be removed from this list before camp starts. Brown is set to make a one-year salary of $16.6 million if he remains on the franchise tag. The deadline for the Chiefs and Brown to agree to a contract extension is July 15. If that doesn’t occur — which is not the expectation from either party — Brown will return to the situation he was in last year after the Chiefs acquired him from the Baltimore Ravens in a blockbuster trade before the draft. In the final year of his rookie contract, Brown started 16 games, improved as the season progressed and protected the blindside of Mahomes well enough to earn another Pro Bowl honor.
The extension Brown likely wants from the Chiefs is a contract similar to what star left tackle Ronnie Stanley received from the Baltimore Ravens in late October 2020, a five-year, $98.75 million extension with $70.8 million guaranteed.
“I absolutely love it here in Kansas City,” Brown said in December.
If Brown plays well this season and reaches free agency, he would likely earn an even bigger contract.

A bear brought traffic to a standstill in Utah.
Police say they initially received a report of a bear in a cemetery.
Those who spotted it were reportedly worried that it was headed toward the highway, so police temporarily blocked traffic so the bear could cross safely
After the bear crossed, a wildlife resources officer followed it into the mountains to make sure it was safe.
The sighting came just one day after another black bear made its way onto a middle school campus in the area.
Wildlife officials are now reminding residents that the chance of a bear encounter increases as the drought continues in the state.
The lack of normal food supply leaves bears forced to seek alternate sources, which can lead them into more heavily-populated areas. | https://www.ktnv.com/news/national/bear-stops-traffic-in-utah | 2022-05-19T19:00:43Z | https://www.ktnv.com/news/national/bear-stops-traffic-in-utah | false | null |
In a world still on edge from the Covid-19 pandemic, the emergence this week of a scattering of cases of a different disease jumping from animals to humans has put global health experts at action stations. Victims are being struck with fevers, aches and pains and then a rash of ugly fluid-filled bumps and lesions that spread across the skin.
The infection has originated this time not from bats in China, as with the coronavirus, but probably from rodents in Africa. The resulting disease, called monkeypox, has been known for decades, but the current smattering of cases is unexpected because of its wide geographic spread – and it is ringing alarm bells.
Until now, monkeypox has been known to be mainly concentrated in a handful of African countries, including Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, with cases only rarely exported elsewhere. This time, however, cases have quickly cropped up in the United States and four European countries, including the UK, and the wide distribution suggests it is spreading undetected.
So how worried should the world be about monkeypox? Disease experts warn that, while it may not be about to trigger another Covid-like pandemic, it is likely to spread further and needs to be taken seriously.
Jimmy Whitworth, a professor of international public health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said that meant the current international outbreak was “highly unusual”. “Historically, there have been very few cases exported,” he told Reuters. “It has only happened eight times in the past before this year.” While he says the cases are not likely to cause a nationwide epidemic like Covid, he warns that it is “a serious outbreak of a serious disease – and we should take it seriously”.
Matthew Ferrari, director of the Centre for Infectious Disease Dynamics at Penn State University, added: “What we’re seeing may not manifest as a large-scale catastrophe. But we’re seeing a predictable phenomenon that is a stark reminder that emergence events are not black swans and we must plan accordingly.”
By Thursday, May 19, the UK had logged nine cases, Portugal had recorded 14, Spain seven. The United States and Sweden have each reported one. Italian authorities have confirmed one case and suspect two more.
Disease experts say that this wide array of new cases is one source of concern and points to the virus having been already spreading undetected for some time. Only the first of the UK victims had recently travelled to Africa, meaning the others caught it from domestic spread. Two of the cases live together, but there’s no direct contact between the rest.
Bill Hanage, an epidemiology professor at Harvard, said: “These are the largest, most disseminated outbreaks of their kind we have seen. It is obvious that we should be making protective vaccines now.” He wrote on Twitter that it was “very plausible that transmission has been happening for some time unnoticed because folks don't expect to see monkeypox and so don't diagnose it”.
He went on: “Now on the bright side this implies that the severity of the infections are not extremely high or we would have noticed sooner. On the gloomier, it means there are multiple transmission chains out there already that means lots of infections and, as we should have learned from recent experience, even if an infection is mostly mild that is scant comfort if you get so many of them the rare poor outcomes add up.”
Monkeypox is a rare, usually mild infection, related to the dreaded smallpox which was eradicated in 1980. Monkeypox is typically caught from infected wild animals in parts of Africa. Symptoms usually start after five to 21 days and include a fever, a headache, muscle aches, backache, swollen glands, shivering and exhaustion. A chickenpox-like rash of raised spots often starts on the face and spreads, turning into small blisters filled with fluid. These blisters eventually form scabs which later fall off, according to the NHS website.
In more extreme cases, the disease can sometimes be fatal. There are two varieties: a Congo strain, which is more severe and may kill up to one in 10, and a West African strain, which has a fatality rate in about one per cent of cases. The UK cases have all been the West African strain. Fatality statistics have often been compiled from outbreaks where healthcare is often patchy, however, and the prognosis for patients with American or European treatment is expected to be much better.
Monkeypox gained its name because it was first discovered in 1958 in monkeys kept for research, but signs of infection have also been found in various rats, mice and squirrels. Such wild rodents are thought to act as the main wild host for the virus and infection then occasionally spills over into humans. The first human case was recorded in 1970.
The disease spreads from animals to humans by bites, or by touching an infected animal’s blood, body fluids or fur, or eating its partially cooked meat. Monkeypox does not spread easily between people, but the World Health Organization (WHO) says it is possible to catch via “close contact with respiratory secretions, skin lesions of an infected person or recently contaminated objects”. In practice that can mean through touching clothing, bedding or towels used by someone with the rash, as well as touching monkeypox blisters or scabs, or getting too close to coughs and sneezes from an infected person.
Of the nine UK cases recorded so far, most are in men who are gay, bisexual or who have sex with men. That has led to speculation that the disease may now be sexually transmitted, but experts have said it is probably just spreading through close contact.
Dr Michael Head, senior research fellow in global health at the University of Southampton, said: “There is no evidence that it is a sexually transmitted virus, such as HIV. It’s more that here the close contact during sexual or intimate activity, including prolonged skin-to-skin contact, may be the key factor during transmission.”
The good news is that there is already an effective vaccine against monkeypox. Jabs which were widely delivered to eradicate smallpox, caused by the variola virus, are also up to 85 per cent effective against monkeypox, according to the WHO. America alone has enough smallpox vaccine stockpiled to give to everyone in the country. The UK Government has also started giving jabs to health workers and others who may have been exposed.
Widespread use of the vaccine has been wound down, however, since smallpox was stamped out more than four decades ago – and this may be a factor in the current spread of monkeypox. “Two factors probably contribute to the cases we have seen over recent years,” says Dr Michael Skinner, a reader in virology at Imperial College London. “One is that the cessation of smallpox vaccination after the global eradication of variola virus in 1980 means that levels of cross-reactive immunity to monkeypox have now waned or disappeared, so that people can now be infected with monkeypox virus.”
The other possibility is that something has changed to widen or broaden the distribution of the virus among West Africa’s wildlife, meaning humans are more likely to catch it.
“We’re seeing a shift in the age distribution of cases,” Michael Ryan, the WHO’s executive director for health emergencies, told US health news website Stat. “We’re seeing a shift in the geographic distribution of cases. We have to really understand that deep ecology. We have to really understand human behaviour in those regions and we have to try to prevent the disease from reaching humans in the first place.”
Public-health experts are now scrambling to trace cases and trying to ensure that doctors and nurses are aware of the disease and can report infections if necessary. “This cat is already out of the bag,” said Harvard’s Professor Hanage. “All that remains is to see what sort of cat it is – a tabby or a tiger?” | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/science-and-disease/monkeypox-should-worried/ | 2022-05-19T19:01:00Z | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/science-and-disease/monkeypox-should-worried/ | false | 1 |
Wednesdays in May are not usually a time for college football rivals to engage hostilities in a ferocious showdown. But it’s not every day that Alabama’s Nick Saban, the most decorated coach in the sport, rips an opponent for exploiting NCAA rules and allegedly “buying” their players.
Saban on Wednesday attacked fellow Southeastern Conference power Texas A&M and its coach, Jimbo Fisher, over the new and largely unregulated world of recruiting players in an era when the rules allow them to receive payments to cash in on their name, image and likeness.

A far less interesting version of “Cheer” Season 2 would have ignored how much of a phenomenon the show immediately became upon its January 2020 debut. Weeks before the pandemic brought most of the world to an unsettling halt, Netflix’s docuseries was an unavoidable smash hit, making overnight celebrities of its Texan cheerleader subjects whether they wanted the spotlight or not. They went on “Ellen,” “Dancing with the Stars,” and the Oscars red carpet. They became Instagram influencers and TikTok stars. They became characters both relatable and aspirational for millions of viewers across the world who suddenly felt incredibly invested in the results of a cheerleading competition. In its second season, “Cheer” could’ve just followed that story all over again, yielding decent results. It could’ve gone the “Tiger King 2” route, only briefly acknowledging the series’ impact before reverting back to old storytelling habits. Instead, both by choice and by wild circumstance, the season that director Greg Whiteley and team created is a fascinating study of what it actually feels like to be part of a Netflix phenomenon that burns fast and too bright.

;

Even before the pandemic hits and the team’s most beloved member, Jerry Harris, gets indicted on federal charges (more on that later), the second season of “Cheer” opens with the Navarro cheerleaders reeling from the shock of becoming famous in an instant. They scroll through their verified Instagram followers in disbelief, hug Kendall Jenner on TV, and take seemingly every single promotional campaign they’re offered. (A particularly painful early montage shows the squad listlessly cheerleading their way through an ad for a local bakery and a YouTube stunt on a nearby farm whose owner couldn’t care less about Netflix, let alone YouTube.) Coach Monica Aldama — a steely woman whose careful, deadpan affect is more curious than charismatic — quickly finds herself inundated by constant interviews and motivational speaking engagements. It all looks very exciting, but in talking head interviews, few of them seem excited about any of it. The team is still a solid unit in practices, but the unspoken tension of what the docuseries revealed, who got the most attention, and how much time their new extracurricular of being famous sucks up is all too palpable.
There’s certainly some good that came out of being on a wildly popular Netflix show (there’s no way Navarro Junior College would be getting $25,000 checks from Ellen DeGeneres without it, for example). But for the most part, “Cheer” makes the whole experience look pretty miserable. Watching Aldama and her young team struggle to meet the expectations of their suddenly ravenous public reminded me of watching “The D’Amelio Show,” the accidentally bleak Hulu series that follows two teenage sisters trying to leverage their TikTok fame into sustainable careers. The rush of fame inevitably turns a once rewarding passion — whether dancing, singing, or cheerleading — into something a bit more calculated, a bit more joyless than before. Despite what they say, more of these docuseries subjects seem to flinch under the spotlight rather than embrace it.

The biggest exception to this rule was also the biggest question mark going into this second season. Jerry Harris, the determined reserve cheerleader whose encouraging (and screaming) “mat talks” became his calling card after the show first dropped, was unquestionably the biggest breakout star of “Cheer.” His literally in-your-face enthusiasm and constant smile made him a favorite for both his fellow cheerleaders and new fans. When he hosted Oscars red carpet coverage for “The Ellen Show,” more celebrities gushed at him than the other way around. Oprah (Oprah!) requested one of his mat talks to pump her up. “Cheer” doesn’t shy away from any of this — which is especially meaningful given that the season opens by acknowledging just how far he’s fallen since. Indicted on charges of soliciting sexual images from minors, the once ebullient and omnipresent Harris has been incarcerated since December 2020 pending trial, after he was arrested that September. Making this reality plain right off the bat provides crucial framework for the season to come, which began filming well before the allegations broke, and continues throughout the squad’s subsequent collapse. A lesser version of this show might have omitted Jerry as much as possible, explained his fate in a quick sidebar, and moved on. But one of the reasons why “Cheer” became so popular in the first place was its palpable empathy for its subjects’ pain, and that goes double in this horrific instance. Aldama and Harris’ friends struggle to get through interviews about it in one piece, or without the fresh shock of it all creeping across their stunned faces.
Most impressive, though, is Whiteley’s decision to not just devote the entire fifth episode to the allegations, but turn most of that episode over to the boys who first spoke out about Harris’ alleged crimes, their mother and attorney. With the heartbreaking patience of people who have had to tell a painful story too many times, the boys recount their experiences and explain exactly how Harris’ celebrity in the cheerleading world — and, thanks to this very Netflix series, well beyond — made it so hard to come forward. The moment they did decide to say something, however, is an extremely telling one. Torn between wanting to make their way in cheerleading without fear and hold Harris accountable, the boys say they didn’t want to press charges until they saw Harris having a chummy FaceTime with President Joe Biden. Harris making his way up to that echelon of celebrity suddenly felt more than frustrating; it felt downright dangerous. That meeting wouldn’t have been possible for Harris without a platform like Netflix catapulting him there, and there’s something undeniably gutting and powerful about the show itself making its own role in Harris’ stardom so plain.
From that point on, the second season of “Cheer” gets markedly less self-reflexive as Navarro and their equally telegenic rivals at Trinity Valley make their way to the Daytona Beach stage for their long-awaited showdown. Harris goes mostly unmentioned, except by a pair of tiny Navarro superfans who strain to see all their favorite cheerleading stars at an event before remembering that Harris will no longer be there. But the pall of his betrayal hangs over everything like an inescapable fog that only thickens the more everyone tries to ignore it. Aldama, exhausted from her “Dancing With the Stars” stint and a COVID diagnosis, falls into something like a depression. Harris’ friend La’Darius Marshall, who revealed his childhood abuse in Season 1, smarts from the sting of Aldama leaving them for Los Angeles and not being around once the allegations arise. The new team, hastily rebuilt after Harris and the pandemic shattered it, never fully gels, despite their best and most determined efforts. Yes, Navarro has more support and money than ever — and certainly more than Trinity, whose squad unrolls its raggedy practice mats in a dirt parking lot while Navarro bounces across their brand new stage, a replica of where they’d compete in Daytona.
But in Season 2, the ripple effects of the star-making quickly become an overwhelming and inescapable wave. The college kids who shared their stories of often painful childhoods became icons to others like them — an honor, but also an enormous responsibility they never expected to shoulder. Aldama, the only constant face of the squad, staggered under the weight of tripled expectations. An alleged predator became cheerleading’s sunniest avatar, making it so much more difficult for anyone to speak out against him than it already was.
There’s so much to love about “Cheer”: the stories, the people, the impressive filmmaking that make both come to such vivid life. But its popularity, exponentially multiplied by Netflix’s incredible reach across the globe, also revealed the cost of fame for those who aren’t ready for it. “Cheer” could have kept churning out the same kind of stories that made it so beloved in the first place, but acknowledging its own role in setting its subjects on the edge of fame’s double-edged sword is far more ambitious, revealing, and worthwhile.

Something wasn't working.
Even though the NFL attempted to enhance opportunities for minority candidates to become head coaches in a league whose players are 70% Black, there was a disconnect. Same thing for front office positions, although more improvement had been seen in recent years in that area.
Those diverse prospects in many cases were strangers to the people making the hiring decisions. And when the number of minority head coaches on the 32 teams stagnated — it is six for 2022, including three Black men, one biracial, one Hispanic and one Lebanese — the NFL sought a different path for potential coaches and general managers.
It has come up with the inaugural Coach and Front Office Accelerator that will take place next Monday and Tuesday at owners meetings in Atlanta.
“I think the accelerator is some of the most important work the league and our (diversity) committee will do all year because the potential of the program is exponential,” says Falcons owner Arthur Blank. “It’s an unprecedented opportunity for emerging leaders, owners and team leadership to get to know each other better over these two days, and the relationships formed in this setting will be integral to future hiring cycles.”
People in the coaching and front office pipeline noted how often their first encounter with an owner or team executive came when they were being considered for a job. That made for some awkward situations — and, probably, some ill-informed hiring decisions.
At the scouting combine in Indianapolis in late winter, league executives discussed the issues with a select number of coaches and general managers who were part of the hiring cycle — some of whom got the jobs and some who did not.
“One of the things clearly stated with passion was, 'We shouldn’t be in a scenario where the first time I am meeting a club owner is at that interview,'” notes Jonathan Beane, the NFL's senior vice president, chief diversity and inclusion officer. “There is no relationship there, the two individuals don’t know each other well. That makes it very difficult.
"How can we ensure that not happen often?"
The answer could be the acceleration program for which one coaching and one general manager candidate from each of the 32 teams has been selected to attend. Those people range from a former head coach, Vance Joseph, who was in charge of the Broncos from 2017-18, went 11-21, and now is Cardinals defensive coordinator, and Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy — a frequent consideration for head coaching vacancies — to such position coaches as the Jets' Ron Middleton (tight ends), the Bills' Eric Washington (defensive line) and the Cowboys' Joe Whitt Jr (secondary/defensive passing game coordinator).
There also are two women from clubs who will attend, Denver's Kelly Kleine, the executive director of football operations/special adviser to the GM, and Jacqueline Davidson, Jacksonville's director of football research.
Two high-ranking female execs from the league offices also will be involved: Dawn Aponte, the senior vice president of football operations and chief administrative officer, and Kimberly Fields, senior VP of football business strategy and operations.
To avoid tampering, guidelines will be in place for these networking sessions, with no job interviewing or hiring allowed. This is more of a “getting to know you” initiative that should help both candidates and owners in the future.
The goals are for the participants to develop relationships with a number of different owners; get a deeper understanding of the business of football at the club and league levels; and recognizing what is the next thing the candidates need to do to become a general manager or coach or football executive.
“We have never had a development program where the participants will have access to every owner and have chance to network with them in an informal and formal way,” Beane says.
A key component is the variation of resumes, something the diversity committee and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell encouraged in the development of the acceleration program.
“This is why this program is so powerful,” Beane says. “It doesn’t matter whether you have been head coach or a defensive coordinator or an offensive coordinator for over a decade, or still an up-and-comer emerging talent. This is going to be beneficial for you because of the relationships you build.”

Ride-hailing app Uber India on Thursday said it has, over the past few weeks, raised fares to cushion drivers from the impact of rising fuel prices across many cities in India, adding that it is now showing trip destination to drivers before they decide to accept a ride to enable them to make informed choices.
The company said it always strives to make driving with Uber a viable and attractive option for drivers, and added that "the recent hike in fares will directly boost their earnings per trip".
"The hike in fuel prices has impacted everyone, especially ridesharing drivers who have felt the pinch of rising fuel costs," the company said in a statement as it announced a slew of new product features to improve rider and driver experience.
In March this year, the first ever Uber Driver Advisory Council convened, and the driver members on the council had raised this as a key issue, it explained.
"Over the past few weeks, we have raised Uber fares to cushion drivers from the impact of rising fuel prices across many cities in India," the statement said.
Uber also said it is now showing trip destination to drivers before they decide to accept a ride to enable them to make informed choices.
Upfront destination feature is already live across 20 cities and will be expanded to all others, Uber said in a statement.
The move assumes significance as the government recently warned cab aggregators, including Ola and Uber, of strict action unless they improve their systems and redress mounting consumer complaints.
On May 10, the government held a meeting with the ride-hailing platforms amid a rise in consumer complaints of alleged unfair trade practices by them, including ride cancellation policy, as drivers at times force customers to cancel trips after accepting bookings, which results in customers paying cancellation penalties. The government had made it clear that there will be "zero tolerance against such malpractices" by cab aggregators.
Ride-hailing platforms were advised to take the consumers' complaints with utmost priority and take remedial steps to ensure adequate protection of consumer rights.
On Thursday, Uber said, "To address issues such as ride cancellations, drivers not turning on the air-conditioning during rides, or refusal to accept online payments, the company has rolled out new measures."
The initiatives include empowering drivers to make informed choices through trip destination info.
"We understand the feeling you get when the driver calls and asks the dreaded question: 'Jana Kahan Hai' (where do you have to go) and then cancels the trip," Uber said.
To remove frustration for riders and drivers alike, Uber said it is now showing trip destinations to drivers before they decide to accept the ride.
"In our attempt to incentivise right platform behaviour -- drivers who meet a predefined trip acceptance threshold will be eligible to get the destination information so that they can make an informed choice. Upfront destination feature is already live across 20 cities and will be expanded to all others," it said in a statement.
Uber said it believes the changes will be appreciated by drivers, and will, in turn, translate into better experience for riders.
"With these changes, we are also reinforcing service quality expectations with drivers especially in areas like cancellations and ensuring AC rides," it said.
In addition to driver notifications and training, repeated complaints from riders on these service quality essentials could lead to penalties and even restricted app access, it said.
Stating that the issues involved are complex and "there is no silver bullet", Uber pledged its commitment to "listening to riders and drivers".
Acknowledging that drivers 'understandably' don't like having to drive out of their way to pick up passengers, Uber said that to fix the situation, it has introduced additional earnings for drivers in case they have to travel a long distance to pick up riders.
"This will give drivers the comfort to accept more trips and will benefit riders as trip reliability goes up. Drivers will be able to see the earnings for long pick-ups, separately displayed on the fare receipt," Uber said.
As drivers want more flexibility around payments, Uber is now showing drivers the mode of payment (cash or online) prior to the trip.
"This enables the driver to choose a cash-only ride if that's what they need. Going a step further to make the cash or online decision irrelevant, we've now introduced a daily pay process for drivers," according to Uber.
This will ensure that trip earnings from Monday to Thursday are credited to drivers the next day, while earnings from Friday to Sunday, are credited on Monday. "At Uber, our aim is to provide a safe and reliable platform for drivers and riders and any experience that falls short is unacceptable to us," Nitish Bhushan, Director of Central Operations, Uber India, said.
The new product features like upfront destination, long pickup fees, daily payments, cash indicator along with the recent fare hikes should address reliability and service quality concerns in a more holistic way, while improving the overall experience for riders and drivers, Bhushan added.

After expressing anger over the Mathura District Court's ruling in the Krishna Jhamabhoomi-Shahi Idgah case, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Thursday reiterated that with cases like Gyanvapi and Krishna Jhamabhoomi, an attempt is being made to spread hatred towards Muslims in the country.
Speaking to ANI, Owaisi said, "A plea is filed in Mathura court to remove Shahi Idgah Masjid. This is a violation of the Places of Worship Act, 1991, itself. Mathura Dist Court saying the suit is maintainable is a violation of the Supreme court verdict, and against the Parliament Act. For these people, the law doesn't matter. They want to rob Muslim people of their dignity. You're making a mockery of the legal system. When another plaintiff went to court, the court had said no, so you create a different party. These are all connected to Sangh Parivar."
"Whether it is Gyanvapi or Mathura, the idea is to create an atmosphere of mistrust, more hatred towards the Muslim community, and lack of security among our Hindu brothers and to take this country back in time. It's high time that the Prime Minister puts an end to all this and says that his govt stands with the 1991 Act and will not support such causes that create more division in the country," the AIMIM chief said.
Owaisi has been raising his voice against the Gyanvapi Masjid survey for the past several weeks, claiming that he does not want to lose another mosque after Babri. Earlier in the day, the AIMIM chief reacted to the Mathura District Court's ruling on the Krishna Jhamabhoomi case, and said, "Robbing Muslims of their dignity is the only goal now."
The Mathura District Court on Thursday held that the suit to remove the Shahi Idgah Masjid, allegedly built on the land of Shrikrishna Janam Bhoomi is maintainable. The court kept aside the order of the civil court to not admit the Hindu side's suit on grounds of the Places of Worship Act, 1991 and said it was 'incorrect'.
The court's ruling came while hearing a plea against the civil court's order, preferred by 'Bhagwan Srikrishna Virjman', through his next friend Ranjana Agnihotri. They had asserted that as devotees of Lord Krishna, they had the right to move the suit in view of their fundamental rights under Article 25 (Freedom of Religion) of the Constitution, which guarantees Darshan and performance of puja at the actual birth of place of the diety which is at present beneath the structure "illegally raised by Muslims." | https://www.republicworld.com/india-news/politics/owaisi-claims-shahi-idgah-and-gyanvapi-cases-creating-hatred-pm-should-put-an-end-to-this-articleshow.html | 2022-05-19T19:14:57Z | https://www.republicworld.com/india-news/politics/owaisi-claims-shahi-idgah-and-gyanvapi-cases-creating-hatred-pm-should-put-an-end-to-this-articleshow.html | false | 1 |

A still from Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2.
(Photo Courtesy: Pinterest)
Bhool Bhuliayaa 2, starring Kartik Aaryan, Kiara Advani, Tabu, Sanjay Mishra and Rajpal Yadav, is directed by Aneez Bazmi. The film, though a sequel to the Akshay Kumar-starrer Bhool Bhulaiyaa, is not a take-off from where its predecessor left off.
Letting go of the original film’s psychological thriller angle, this one is a horror-comedy.
Kiara Advani and Kartik Aaryan in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2.
The film opens with an elaborate scene of a baba doing chaad-phood to lock Manjulika – the ghost - in a room. Scared family members gather around to watch while he performs the ritual – it's just a ghost after all, let's watch. He manages to lock her in the room after we see her attacking Tabu's character, and the whole family leaves the house.
Eighteen years later we meet Ruhan (Kartik), an unemployed boy who hails from a rich family. After his father passes away all he does is travel.
Kiara Advani, who plays this seedhi saadhi girl Reet, is seen studying in a city. She has never been anywhere expect for her hostel and college. Imagine, four years in a city and that’s all she did because her father, who lives in another city, is very strict and she doesn’t want to upset him.
As luck would have it, Reet accidentally leaves her bag in a cable car, wherein Ruhaan is also seated. Ruhaan sees Reet wave at him from the other cable car, gesturing that it is hers. That’s how the two meet, when he goes to return the bag.
A few seconds later, Reet forgets her phone and when he goes to return that she thinks he’s hitting on her and she throws the phone. When she uses his phone to make a call home, we learn that she is being married off in the next 2-3 days ( she doesn’t want to but has to).
Ruhaan convinces her that they can take the last bus back and attend a music festival because she hasn’t seen anything in her life. She agrees and when they come to get the last bus back they learn that the bus they were on earlier met with an accident and there were no survivors. She makes a call home to inform them that she’s okay, but overhears her cousin sister and her fiancé Sagar talking about how they have always been in love. The family assumes Reet is dead, and she decides to play along so that her sister can be married off to Sagar.
To put her plan into action and to have a shield when she finally reveals to her family she is alive (after her sister and Sagar are married), Reet decides to take Ruhaan to her hometown, Rajasthan, so that he can help her out. After all, they became chaddi-baddis in just 24 hours!
Kartik Aaryan stars in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2.
The two decide to stay at the haunted haveli from which the entire family fled since Manjulika was locked in one of the rooms there. Reet tells Ruhaan the stories about the house and the childhood she spent there. She believes that there is no ghost and these are just stories.
Seeing the haveli door open, Rajpal Yadav's character tells the family and everyone rushes to to the house. That’s where they all meet Ruhaan (while Reet hides - she’s dead remember), who tells them that Reet’s ghost has brought him to the house and he repeats all the stories about the family members that Reet had told him and tells them her last wish is that everyone lives in this haunted haveli. Everyone agrees.
Following a few other incidents everyone believes Ruhaan can speak to ghost and he’s hailed as the Rooh baba in Bhawanigarh. Except for Sanjay Mishra and his wife, who try to out him to everyone but fail.
Rooh baba now lives in this haveli with the family, while Reet hides in a room, and after spending few days together the two fall in love. The room with Manjulika in it is opened a few days later, and that's when all hell break loose.
Imitation is a form of flattery and Akshay Kumar should feel very flattered. Kartik Aryan tries to ape Akshay Kumar’s dialogue delivery, which will lead to some laughs, but you will only be reminded of Akshay. With a more solid, tighter screenplay, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, a 2 hours 10 minutes film could have worked better if it was another 20 mins shorter.
This horror-comedy has a lot of puerile humour and not much horror. While I can sit through the childish jokes and roll my eyes, but what didn’t did not sit right with me was fat-shaming a kid to get laughs. Are we still doing those? I guess if I was expecting more from this the joke is on me.
Manjulika’s make up in the film! I cracked up when she was on-screen. You know when you put those white face packs and leave on for one-to-many hours and then it starts to crack - that’s it. So, if you ever want to try the look, you know how to. I jumped in my seat only twice through the film – so don't expect too many jump scares.
However, the star of the film is Tabu, a two-time National Film Award winner who steals the show. Watch it for her and a few funny moments.

Vangelis Papathanassíou, the Greek composer and musician, has died aged 79, his representatives have announced. The musician was being treated in a French hospital when he died.
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis tweeted that Vangelis was “a pioneer of the electronic sound. He began his long journey on the Chariots Of Fire. From there he will always send us his notes.”
Best known for his work on the soundtracks to the hit film Chariots Of Fire (1981) and Blade Runner (1982), Vangelis was also a hugely successful solo artist as well as being known for his work with seminal Greek prog outfit Aphrodite's Child and his work with former Yes singer Jon Anderson.
Born in the Greek coastal town of Agria in 1943, the largely self-taught musician formed his first band, The Forminx, in 1963 at the age of 20 and followed that with the internationally successful Aphrodite's Child, who also featured vocalist Demis Roussos. After two albums of psychedelic pop – the band's debut single Rain And Tears was a top 30 hit in the UK in 1968, it was the band's third album 666, a concept album about the Book Of Revelation, which made the band a hit with serious-minded music fans, even though the band had actually split up by the time of the album's release.
Vangelis regarded 1973's Earth as his first official solo album, although Fais que ton rêve soit plus long que la nuit was released in 1972, and soundtrack to the French nature documentary series L'Apocalypse des animaux appeared in 1970. Further solo albums such as Heaven And Hell (1975), Albedo 0.39, (1976) Spiral (1977) and Beaubourg enhanced the musician's reputation as a solo artist.
Vangelis turned down an offer from Yes to replace Rick Wakeman in the early 1970s but he later would work with Jon Anderson, who had cited Vaneglis as an influence on his debut solo album, 1976's Olias Of Sunhillow, in the successful Jon And Vangelis partnership. The duo's debut single I Hear You Now reached No. 8 in the UK singles chart in 1979 and the pair released four studio albums, Short Stories (1980), The Friends Of Mr. Cairo (1981), Private Collection (1983) and Page Of Life (1991).
Further soundtrack work to films such as The Bounty (1984) and 1492: Conquest of Paradise (1992) and solo albums such as Voices (1995) and Oceanic (1996) further cemented his reputation and a long-held fascination with outer space saw him work with the European Space Agency on 2016's Rosetta and he continued exploring his love of space on last year's Juno To Jupiter.
Vangelis wrote specially commissioned scores for the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea, and the 2004 Olympics in Athens. He also wrote music for ballet and theatre. He also enjoyed painting and held his very first art exhibition in 2003, aged 70, in Valencia, Spain.
ESA's Mark McCaughrean, who worked with Vangelis on the Rosetta album tweeted "Such sad news. Was thinking of Vangelis just yesterday, hoping to get back to Paris soon & spend one of those glorious nights exploring the universe together." | https://www.loudersound.com/news/vangelis-papathanassiou-dead-at-79 | 2022-05-19T19:21:23Z | https://www.loudersound.com/news/vangelis-papathanassiou-dead-at-79 | true | 1 |

Bernardeschi to follow Chiellini and Dybala as latest Juventus departure
Federico Bernardeschi is set to become the latest Juventus stalwart to exit the club this summer, following on the heels of Giorgio Chiellini and Paulo Dybala in calling time on their career in Turin.
The 28-year-old, who joined the club from Fiorentina in 2017, has enjoyed prolific success at both domesitc and international level since his arrival five years ago, winning three Serie A titles with the Bianconeri and Euro 2020 with the Italy national team.
But now his future will take him elsewhere than Allianz Stadium after failing to come to an agreement over his contract, and will depart as a free agent on June 30.

- Guardiola given injury boost ahead of Man City title decider against Aston Villa as Stones & Walker return
Why is Bernardeschi leaving Juventus?
The winger has been involved in lengthy discussions over his place at the Old Lady this season, as the club have sought to wrestle back their place near the summit of Italian football after a major drop-off last term.
Max Allegri's side have not been able to deliver a deal that will satisfy both parties however, meaning that the former Crotone loanee will elect to head on out after they came to a mutual agreement.
It marks the latest high-profile exit from the club, after Chiellini and Dybala enjoyed an emotional farewell in the club's final home game of the season earlier this month.
What will Juventus look like next season?
The Bianconeri are already making movements in the transfer market to bolster their ranks, as they prepare for an overhaul of several key personal.
Angel Di Maria looks set to join them from Paris Saint-Germain, while there could be a return to Turin for Paul Pogba.
The France international enjoyed a highly successful stay with the club before heading back to Manchester United over half-a-decade ago, but could well be poised to arrive once more as a free agent himself. | https://www.goal.com/en-cm/news/juventus-departure-bernardeschi-exit-dybala-chiellini/blt0d87f253617258be | 2022-05-19T19:26:11Z | https://www.goal.com/en-cm/news/juventus-departure-bernardeschi-exit-dybala-chiellini/blt0d87f253617258be | true | 5 |

The following is attributed to Patrizia Cavazzoni, M.D., director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research
SILVER SPRING, Md., May 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Drug shortages pose a significant public health threat as they can delay, and in some cases, even deny critically needed care for patients. Over the past decade, the FDA's efforts have contributed to fewer new drug shortages and reduced the time to resolve existing drug shortages. This is due, in part, to authorities the agency now has, including those added by the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act.
But despite mitigating or preventing hundreds of new drug shortages, disruptions in the U.S. drug supply continue to occur due to drug quality problems, vulnerabilities in the global supply chain, unanticipated increases in demand, market withdrawals of drugs or natural disasters.
In 2019, in an effort to address the national drug shortage problem, the federal Drug Shortages Task Force released a report that called for the adoption of risk management plans to proactively assess risk and to predict and prevent supply disruptions that could potentially lead to a drug shortage. Then in 2020, Congress passed the CARES Act to require certain manufacturers to develop, maintain, and implement, as appropriate, risk management plans that identify and evaluate risks to a drug's supply.
To further assist manufacturers with these requirements, we are issuing a draft guidance, Risk Management Plans to Mitigate the Potential for Drug Shortages, intended to help with the development, maintenance and implementation of risk management plans.
The draft guidance describes a framework for stakeholders to consider when developing risk management plans that aligns with principles stated in the International Council for Harmonisation guidance for industry, Q9 Quality Risk Management, and identifies risk factors to consider when developing the content of risk management plans. The steps needed to reduce risks of a disruption in drug supply may vary among the different manufacturers in the supply chain for a given drug.
Today's draft guidance is an important step in what the nation needs to achieve an increasingly secure and resilient drug supply. For Americans to have access to an uninterrupted supply of safe, effective and high-quality drugs, all entities involved in the manufacture of a drug should take every step available to reduce risks and threats to the drug supply chain. Risk management plans can serve as a safeguard, helping manufacturers prepare for and respond to hazards that could lead to drug supply disruptions and shortages.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate overwhelmingly approved a $40 billion infusion of military and economic aid for Ukraine and its allies on Thursday as both parties rallied behind America’s latest, and quite possibly not last, financial salvo against Russia’s invasion.
The 86-11 vote gave final congressional approval to the package, three weeks after President Joe Biden requested a smaller $33 billion version and after a lone Republican opponent delayed Senate passage for a week. Every Democrat and all but 11 Republicans — many of them supporters of former President Donald Trump’s isolationist agenda — backed the measure.
Biden’s quick signature was certain as Russia’s attack, which has mauled Ukraine’s forces and cities, slogs into a fourth month with no obvious end ahead. That means more casualties and destruction in Ukraine, which has relied heavily on U.S. and Western assistance for its survival, especially advanced arms, with requests for more aid potentially looming.
“Help is on the way, really significant help. Help that could make sure that the Ukrainians are victorious,” said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., underscoring a goal by Ukraine and its allies that seemed nearly unthinkable when Russia launched its brutal assault three months ago.
The vote was a glaring exception to the partisan divisions that have hindered work on other issues under Biden and that promise to become only less bridgeable as November’s elections for control of Congress draw closer. That includes Republicans blocking Democrats from including billions to combat the relentless pandemic in the measure, leaving their efforts to battle COVID-19 in limbo.
Last week the House approved the Ukraine bill 368-57, with all of those opposed Republicans. Though support in both chambers was unmistakably bipartisan, the GOP defections were noteworthy after Trump, still a potent force in the party, complained that such sums should first be targeted at domestic problems.
Schumer called it “beyond troubling” that Republicans were opposing the Ukraine assistance. “It appears more and more that MAGA Republicans are on the same soft-on-Putin playbook that we saw used by former President Trump,” said Schumer, using the Make America Great Again acronym Democrats have been using to cast those Republicans as extremists.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., a strong backer of the measure, addressed concerns by his GOP colleagues. He said Ukraine’s defeat would jeopardize America’s European trading partners, increase U.S. security costs there and embolden autocrats in China and elsewhere to grab territory in their regions.
“The most expensive and painful thing America could possibly do in the long run would be to stop investing in sovereignty, stability and deterrence before it’s too late,” McConnell said.
On Wednesday, Schumer said he was not confident this would be the final measure to help Ukraine. “They’re doing the fighting, they’re the ones getting killed, they’re the ones struggling and suffering. The least we can do is give them the weaponry they need,” he said.
The legislation contains around $24 billion for weapons, equipment and military financing for Ukraine, restoring Pentagon stocks of arms sent to the region and paying for U.S. reinforcements sent there. The rest includes economic aid to keep Zelenskyy’s government functioning, food programs for countries that rely on Ukraine’s diminished crop production, refugee assistance and funds for Kyiv to investigate Russian war crimes.
Congress approved an initial $13.6 billion measure in March. The combined price tag of nearly $54 billion exceeds what the U.S. spent on all its foreign and military aid in 2019, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service.
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who’s long had non-interventionist views, used procedural tactics last week to thwart Schumer and McConnell from moving the measure through the Senate then, citing Ukraine’s urgent need for the assistance.
In a personal criticism seen seldom on the Senate floor, Schumer on Wednesday called Paul’s move “repugnant” and said the delay, with passage inevitable, would “strengthen Putin’s hand.” McConnell, who last Saturday met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a surprise visit to Kyiv, did not speak up in his fellow Kentucky Republican’s defense.
In a brief interview, Paul responded that it would be “repugnant” to disparage “the democratic process” as embodied in Senate rules that he was using.
That spending concerned some Trump-friendly Republicans in Congress on Wednesday.
“It’s, you know, the world’s going to end if you don’t do anything here,” Sen. Mike Braun, R-Ind., who said he would oppose the Ukraine measure. “I’m more worried about the trust fund going broke” that finances Medicare and another that pays for Social Security.
Braun said he’s long pushed for bills that pay for themselves. Asked why saving $40 billion in this instance outweighed stopping Russia, he said, “Number one, it’s going to pass.”
Another conservative, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said that as costly as the measure is, the aid will protect U.S. national security and said, “If Putin wins, the consequences for America and American taxpayers will be hundreds of billions of dollars.”
Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, a moderate who has clashed with Trump, said in an interview that helping Ukraine defend itself ”is about as smart an investment as we could possibly make.” He added, “What does America First mean? It means that we should first be concerned about the interests of America. I totally agree.” | https://www.informnny.com/news/national-news/senate-approves-40b-ukraine-aid-sends-bill-to-biden/ | 2022-05-19T19:29:49Z | https://www.informnny.com/news/national-news/senate-approves-40b-ukraine-aid-sends-bill-to-biden/ | true | 37 |

Governor Kristi Noem’s daughter got special treatment
(AP) -South Dakota lawmakers have unanimously approved a report finding that Gov. Kristi Noem’s daughter got preferential treatment while she was applying for a real estate appraiser license in 2020. The findings of last year’s legislative probe repudiate Noem’s insistence that her daughter, Kassidy Peters, didn’t receive special treatment during her application. State lawmakers on the Republican-controlled Government Operations and Audit Committee on Wednesday approved their findings by a voice vote and without discussion. The Associated Press reported the Republican governor called a July 2020 meeting that included Peters and key decision-makers from the agency evaluating her license application just days after the agency moved to deny her the license.

NEW YORK – Luke Jackson, sidelined for the season by Tommy John surgery, lost his salary arbitration hearing with the Atlanta Braves on Thursday.
Jackson was awarded the team's $3.6 million offer rather than his $4 million request by Robert Herzog, Richard Bloch and Scott Buchheit, who heard the case a day earlier.
A 30-year-old right-hander, Jackson had surgery on April 13 to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament.
No statistics or evidence from after March 1 are admissible other than contract and salary comparisons, timing set when Major League Baseball and the players’ association agreed to the deal that ended the lockout.
Jackson had 18 saves in 2019 and had served as a top setup man the past two years. He was 2-2 with a career-best 1.98 ERA in 71 games in 2021, helping the Braves win their first World Series title since 1995. He had a 0.00 ERA in three Series games against Houston, allowing one hit in 3 2/3 innings.
He earned $1.9 million last year.
Team have a 3-2 lead in decisions: Seattle second baseman/outfielder Adam Frazier ($8 million) and Kansas City outfielder Andrew Benintendi ($8.5 million) won and Atlanta third baseman Austin Riley ($3.95 million) and St. Louis outfielder Tyler O’Neill ($3.4 million) also lost.
A decision remains pending for Milwaukee right-hander Adrian Houser.
Arbitration hearings usually are held during the first three weeks of February but were delayed by the lockout.
Hearings scheduled through June 24. Players scheduled for hearings include Atlanta outfielder Adam Duvall, pitcher Max Fried and Dansby Swanson, along with New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge, New York Mets pitcher Chris Bassitt, Minnesota catcher Gary Sánchez and Philadelphia pitcher Zach Eflin.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma's Legislature gave final approval Thursday to another Texas-style anti-abortion bill that providers say will be the most restrictive in the nation once the governor signs it.
The bill is part of an aggressive push in Republican-led states across the country to scale back abortion rights. It comes on the heels of a leaked draft opinion from the U.S. Supreme Court that suggests justices are considering weakening or overturning the landmark Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion nearly 50 years ago.
The bill by Collinsville Republican Rep. Wendi Stearman would prohibit all abortions, except to save the life of a pregnant woman or if the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest that has been reported to law enforcement.
“Is our goal to defend the right to life or isn't it?" Stearman asked her colleagues before the bill passed on a 73-16 vote mostly along party lines.
The bill is one of at least three anti-abortion bills sent this year to Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt, who has indicated he'll sign it. Another Texas-style abortion bill that prohibits the procedure after cardiac activity can be detected in the embryo, which experts say is about six weeks, already has taken effect and has already dramatically curtailed the practice in Oklahoma. Another bill set to take effect this summer would make it a felony to perform an abortion, punishable by up to 10 years in prison. That bill contains no exceptions for rape or incest.
“At this point, we are preparing for the most restrictive environment politicians can create: a complete ban on abortion with likely no exceptions," said Emily Wales, interim president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Great Plains, which stopped providing abortions at two of its Oklahoma clinics after the six-week ban took effect earlier this month. “It’s the worst-case scenario for abortion care in the state of Oklahoma."
Like the Texas law, the Oklahoma bill would allow private citizens to sue abortion providers or anyone who helps a woman obtain abortion. After the U.S. Supreme Court allowed that mechanism to remain in place, other Republican-led states sought to copy Texas’ ban. Idaho’s governor signed the first copycat measure in March, although it has been temporarily blocked by the state’s Supreme Court.
After Texas passed its bill last year, there was a dramatic reduction in the number of abortions performed in that state, with many women going to Oklahoma and other surrounding states for the procedure.
There are legal challenges pending in Oklahoma to both the bill to criminalize abortion and the six-week Texas ban, but the courts have so far failed to stop either measure. | https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/Oklahoma-approves-the-nation-s-most-restrictive-17184700.php | 2022-05-19T19:35:38Z | https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/Oklahoma-approves-the-nation-s-most-restrictive-17184700.php | false | 14 |
After years of work, W.K. Kellogg Foundation partners in Haiti establish an alliance to strengthen local food systems and food security.
The Haiti Food Systems Alliance (HFSA) includes 14 established Haitian businesses and organizations dedicated to improving farmer incomes and children's food security.
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, May 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A new coalition of organizations working on the ground in Haiti has united to contribute to developing the country's agricultural sector and boost food security for marginalized families.
The Haiti Food Systems Alliance (HFSA), years in the making, was formed as a local response to the top-down approach commonly adopted by external development interventions. It will contribute to local efforts to develop a Haitian-led roadmap to agricultural viability and sustainability that puts Haitian farmers and local food system organizations in the driver's seat for the benefit of Haitian children and their communities.
The Alliance includes agricultural groups supporting food production in rural communities, including Association des Cadres pour la Protection de l'Environnement (ACAPE), Acceso Haiti, Association Zanmi Agrikol (AZA), Haiti Christian Development Fund (HCDF), KORE Foundation (KORE) and Partenariat Developpement Local (PDL).
They will be supported by service partners specializing in local capacity building, research and data service, including Association pour le Developpement de Fond-des-Blancs (ADF), Centre d'Appui et de Services aux Entreprises Locales et Internationales (Caseli), Centre Haitien du Leadership et de l'Excellence (CLE), Haiti Development Institute (HDI) and Université de Quisqueya (UniQ).
Finally, three feeding partners will complete the Alliance, including Health Equity International (HEI), Model School Network (MSN) and Zanmi Lasante (ZL).
"This is very important because today we are talking about systems - the food system that encompasses the entire agricultural industry," said Cantave Jean-Baptiste, HFSA partner and director of Partenariat pour le Developpement Locale (PDL).
"At a past meeting of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation partners, we highlighted the assets and resources of our country, and many mentioned that our biggest weakness was our isolation. Today we are coming together to bring about the impact that each of us alone cannot have."
"This Alliance has a great advantage: we already know each other, as individuals, as professionals, as institutions. Many have collaborated already, and many are currently working together. Let us put these assets in service of the Alliance to strengthen the capacity of groups, farmers' organizations and social movements working for food sovereignty in Haiti."
Over the next 18 months, the Alliance will provide short-term relief to household food and economic insecurity in some of the most neglected and vulnerable communities in Haiti, while also driving improvements in local food systems and value chains to make them more inclusive, profitable and sustainable.
This will include investment in production, marketing and feeding activities in strategic value chains (corn, cassava, beans, eggs and peanuts) to rapidly improve nutrition for children in schools, hospitals and vulnerable rural communities.
The Alliance will also focus on ongoing improvement in these strategic value chains through applied research, testing and production supported by Alliance partners to increase income for rural farming households.
The HFSA draws its legitimacy from its 14 members - organizations with decades of experience in Haiti's agricultural sector, leading research, innovation and impact to support local food security and sustainability. The Alliance is founded on the belief that Haitian farmers are the motors of agricultural sustainability and must be supported, throughout the whole value chain, for Haiti's food system to reach its full potential.
After years of international funding mainly going to foreign businesses and interventions, the HFSA will fund actions to create stronger alignment between local businesses and organizations and to increase their organizational, data and technical capacity. Despite Haiti's significant challenges, which include poor governance, increased food insecurity, climate change and increased gang violence, the HFSA will present solutions in areas where real impact is possible, all the while putting in place strong collective foundations essential to a thriving food system.
"To the international community and those looking to support Haiti, we encourage you to look beyond the negative headlines, not perpetuate them, and support local solutions and development projects that address issues in a sustainable way. We need solutions that come from and empower the Haitian people," said Sergeline Renee, HFSA partner and Director of Administration and Sales for Acceso Haiti.
The HFSA partners, working across agriculture, education and healthcare sectors, and with longstanding support from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, have been highly effective in engaging communities to deploy innovative, partnership-based and community-led solutions.
To date, members of the Alliance have developed and expanded local sourcing for school feeding programs to feed more than 10,000 students, launched and expanded research and development of agricultural innovations to improve multiple value chains and developed new export products, obtained certifications, and built expertise and teams to expand market opportunities for farming families.
These organizations have also played a key role in responding to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, food insecurity, and natural disasters by helping local farmers and food systems workers provide food for hospitals and community organizations.
Now, the coalition has formalized its expanded collaboration through the creation of the Haiti Food Systems Alliance.
"Over the years, it has been an honor to partner with the organizations now serving as the foundation of the Haiti Food System Alliance. I have seen firsthand the evolution of their work as collaborators, innovators and local leaders, marching hand in hand with communities at such a critical moment in Haiti's history." said Dana François, program officer at the W.K. Kellogg Foundation.
"The Alliance is a result of years of partnerships founded on the commitment of these organization to a shared vision of families thriving through sustainable Haitian-led economic development and food sovereignty during evolving challenging global and local contexts. Much more work awaits the Alliance as it continues to fine-tune, calibrate, maintain alignment with communities' visions, to reach the impact it seeks to have on many fronts as a community-driven initiative working alongside Haitian farmers, families, and the agricultural sector."
Some of HFSA's primary goals include raising the incomes of 3,000 more smallholder farmers and creating 100 more rural food systems jobs, feeding over 8,000 more school kids with locally sourced snacks, and providing 3,000 more smallholder farmers with access to parcel-specific weather forecasting and best practices information via text or WhatsApp.
The Alliance will also seek to rapidly add and engage central and local government offices and other production, service, and feeding partners throughout the country in the years to come. Continued growth, expansion and partnership building with other organizations will increase the Alliance's impact and overall sustainability.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden embarked Thursday on a six-day trip to South Korea and Japan aiming to build rapport with the two nations’ leaders while also sending an unmistakable message to China: Russia’s faltering invasion of Ukraine should give Beijing pause about its own saber-rattling in the Pacific.
Biden’s visit will include meetings with newly elected South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. Their talks will touch on trade, increasing resilience in the global supply chain, growing concerns about North Korea’s nuclear program and the explosive spread of COVID-19 in that country.
While in Japan, Biden will also meet with fellow leaders of the Indo-Pacific strategic alliance known as the Quad, a group that includes Australia, India and Japan.
The U.S. under Biden has forged a united front with democratic allies that has combined their economic heft to make Russia pay a price for its invasion of Ukraine. That alliance includes South Korea and Japan. But even as Biden is to be feted by Yoon at a state dinner and hold intimate conversations with Kishida, the U.S. president knows those relationships need to be deepened if they’re to serve as a counterweight to China’s ambitions.
White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said the trip would “show in living color the United States can at once lead the free world in responding to Russia’s war in Ukraine, and that at the same time chart a course for effective, principled American leadership and engagement in a region that will define much of the future of the 21st century.”
The war in eastern Europe has created a sense of urgency about China among major U.S. allies in the Pacific. Many have come to see the moment as their own existential crisis — one in which it’s critical to show China it should not try to seize contested territory through military action.
In a reminder of how Biden has tried to balance security issues in each hemisphere, shortly before leaving for Asia he hosted Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson of Sweden and President Sauli Niinistö of Finland at the White House to show support for their applications to join NATO.
“America’s alliances in Europe and in Asia keep us — and I would argue the world — strong and secure,” Biden said in the Rose Garden. “They’re how we confront the challenges of our time, and deliver for our people today, and harness opportunities for a better tomorrow.”
Biden’s overseas travel comes as he faces strong domestic headwinds: an infant formula shortage, budget-busting inflation, a rising number of COVID-19 infections, and increasing impatience among a Democratic base bracing for a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that is likely to result in a roll back of abortion rights.
The conundrums Biden faces in Asia are no less daunting.
China’s military assertiveness has grown over the course of Biden’s presidency, with its provocative actions frequently putting the region on edge.
Last month, China held military drills around Taiwan after a group of U.S. lawmakers arrived for talks on the self-governed island. Late last year China stepped up sorties into Taiwan’s air space. Taiwan considers itself a sovereign state, but Beijing views Taiwan as a breakaway province and has not ruled out the use of force to achieve unification.
Japan has reported frequent intrusions by China’s military vessels into Japanese territorial waters around the Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea. The uninhabited islets are controlled by Japan but claimed by China, which calls them Diaoyu.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Wednesday criticized what he called negative moves by Washington and Tokyo against Beijing during a video call with Japanese Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi.
“What arouses attention and vigilance is the fact that, even before the American leader has set out for the meeting, the so-called joint Japan-U.S. anti-China rhetoric is already kicking up dust,” Wang said, according to China’s Foreign Ministry.
Meanwhile, South Korea could tilt closer to the U.S. under Yoon, who took office last week. The new South Korean president has criticized his predecessor as “subservient” to China by seeking to balance the relationships with Washington and Beijing. To neutralize North Korea’s nuclear threats, Yoon has pledged to seek a stronger U.S. security commitment.
The Biden administration has warned China against assisting Russia in its war with Ukraine. In March, the U.S. informed Asian and European allies that American intelligence determined that China had signaled to Russia a willingness to provide military support and financial backing to reduce the blow of severe sanctions imposed by the U.S. and its allies.
Biden administration officials say that the Russian invasion has been a clarifying moment for some of the bigger powers in Asia as financial sanctions and export bans have been put in place to check Russia.
U.S. Ambassador Rahm Emanuel, Biden’s top envoy to Japan, said the Japanese have stood out by rallying eight of 10 members of Association of Southeast Nations to back a U.N. vote against the Russian invasion.
“Japan has been a pacesetter that has picked up and set the pace for South Korea, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand and others here in the Indo Pacific area,” Emanuel said of Tokyo’s support of Ukraine following the Russian invasion.
Biden, who is making his first presidential trip to Asia, met Kishida briefly on the sidelines of a U.N. climate conference last year shortly after the Japanese prime minister took office. He has yet to meet with Yoon face-to-face. The South Korean leader, a former prosecutor who came to office without political or foreign policy experience, was elected in a closely fought election.
Biden arrives in the midst of an unfolding crisis in North Korea, where a mass COVID-19 outbreak is spreading through its unvaccinated population. North Korea acknowledged domestic COVID-19 infections for the first time last week, ending a widely doubted claim it had been virus-free.
In recent months, North Korea has test-launched a spate of missiles in what experts see as an attempt to modernize its weapons and pressure its rivals to accept the country as a nuclear state and relax their sanctions.
Sullivan said U.S. intelligence officials have determined there’s a “genuine possibility” that North Korea will conduct another ballistic missile test or nuclear test around the time of Biden’s visit to Asia.
To be certain, China will also be carefully watching for “cracks in the relationship” during Biden’s trip, said Scott Kennedy, a China economic analyst at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.
Sullivan confirmed that Biden will use the trip to launch the long-anticipated Indo-Pacific Economic Framework, a proposed pact to set rules for trade and digital standards, ensuring reliable supply chains, worker protections, decarbonization and tax and anticorruption issues. Known as IPEF, it’s a planned substitute for the Trans-Pacific Partnership that President Donald Trump left in 2017 and that the Biden administration has not rejoined.
In terms of economic power, the U.S. slightly lags China in the Pacific, according to the Lowy Institute, an Australian think tank. But the institute’s analysis shows the possibility that a trade pact could magnify the combined power of the U.S. and its allies relative to China. Biden’s challenge is that IPEF would not necessarily cut tariff rates or give allied signatories greater access to U.S. markets, something Asian countries seek.

In the last decade, the United States has been a regular destination for Barca's first team. The team traveled there in 2011, 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2019, including a joint tour with Barca Women - playing a total of three matches on each occasion on American soil. (ANI)

NEW YORK (AP) — Luke Jackson, sidelined for the season by Tommy John surgery, lost his salary arbitration hearing with the Atlanta Braves on Thursday.
Jackson was awarded the team's $3.6 million offer rather than his $4 million request by Robert Herzog, Richard Bloch and Scott Buchheit, who heard the case a day earlier.
A 30-year-old right-hander, Jackson had surgery on April 13 to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament.
No statistics or evidence from after March 1 are admissible other than contract and salary comparisons, timing set when Major League Baseball and the players’ association agreed to the deal that ended the lockout.
Jackson had 18 saves in 2019 and had served as a top setup man the past two years. He was 2-2 with a career-best 1.98 ERA in 71 games in 2021, helping the Braves win their first World Series title since 1995. He had a 0.00 ERA in three Series games against Houston, allowing one hit in 3 2/3 innings.
He earned $1.9 million last year.
Team have a 3-2 lead in decisions: Seattle second baseman/outfielder Adam Frazier ($8 million) and Kansas City outfielder Andrew Benintendi ($8.5 million) won and Atlanta third baseman Austin Riley ($3.95 million) and St. Louis outfielder Tyler O’Neill ($3.4 million) also lost.
A decision remains pending for Milwaukee right-hander Adrian Houser.
Arbitration hearings usually are held during the first three weeks of February but were delayed by the lockout.
Hearings scheduled through June 24. Players scheduled for hearings include Atlanta outfielder Adam Duvall, pitcher Max Fried and Dansby Swanson, along with New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge, New York Mets pitcher Chris Bassitt, Minnesota catcher Gary Sánchez and Philadelphia pitcher Zach Eflin.

VALPARAISO, Ind. (AP) — Valparaiso has hired Charles Small as its athletic director.
The former Iowa State administrator will become the first Black athletic director in school history and begins his job July 1.
The announcement ends a three-month search after longtime athletic director Mark LaBarbera announced his retirement.
“I look forward to embarking on a journey with our coaches and administrators to make a concerted effort to help Valpo student-athletes flourish," Small said in a statement.
Small played basketball at Pittsburgh from 2002-06, initially making the team as a walk-on. He became the athletic department's graduate assistant for student life and compliance and held several other titles before leaving for the University of New Orleans in 2013-14. He worked at Arkansas in 2014-15 and joined Iowa State's staff in 2018.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says it's investigating 180 pediatric patients with hepatitis of unknown cause. The cases, which have included five deaths, have been reported in 36 states and territories over the past seven months.
The count of cases under investigation has grown since the CDC's last update on May 5, when the agency said it was investigating 109 cases. But the agency said that most of the latest cases are "retrospective" cases — the CDC's investigation involves reported cases that date back to October 2021, and many of them are just now being reported.
Hepatitis is characterized by a swelling of the liver. The proportion of affected patients requiring liver transplants has declined from 15% to 9% since May 5, according to the CDC. Earlier this month, the CDC reported that five children have died; the agency now says that no additional deaths have been reported since February.
The CDC is advising parents and caregivers to be aware of the symptoms, including jaundice in particular. They should contact health care providers with any concerns.
The CDC is examining possible causes of the cases. Adenovirus, a common virus that often causes mild cold or flu-like symptoms, has been identified in almost half of the pediatric patients with hepatitis. The CDC said other tests are being conducted to look at other "potential pathogens," including the coronavirus.
"It's important to note that severe hepatitis in children remains rare," the agency said.
The agency said it will begin posting weekly updates on the number of patients under investigation.

Teenager back home after being kidnapped by man she met online, ending up in New York
By John Gregory
Click here for updates on this story
RIALTO, California (KABC) — A Rialto teenager is safe and back home with her family after she was kidnapped by a man she met online.
Rialto police say the 17-year-old met the man online and ended up traveling to New York to be with him. The teen’s parents called police when she turned up missing.
Authorities were able to piece together that she had been in contact with Elijah Clark, a 24-year-old in New York, on social media. Investigators contacted Clark and said it was immediately clear to them that something was wrong.
When Detective Agnes Watson called him and identified herself, he hung up.That’s when Watson says she texted the number back.
“I received a text from the suspect’s phone… and it was a text from the victim asking ‘please help me. He won’t let me go. I want to come back home. Please get me back home.’ And then they said ‘do not reply back to this text message or I’ll get in trouble’.”
Rialto police called police in New York, who found her being held against her will. She was reunited with her family on Mother’s Day.
Clark was taken into custody and is facing kidnapping charges.
Police hope this incident serves as a reminder for parents to be aware of what their kids are doing on social media.

A new poll has some very bad news for Republicans as two-thirds of Democrats say they will vote in the midterm because of Roe.
Potential Roe Overturn Fires Up Democrats
NPR reported on the latest NPR/PBS Newshour/Marist Poll:
The poll shows that two-thirds of Democrats say the contents of the leak make them more likely to vote in November, as compared to just 40% of Republicans who said so.
“It definitely has them [Democrats] focused as no other issue in the recent months has,” said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion, which conducted the poll. “And to have a gap of that magnitude over the Republicans is something that, at this point, should not go unnoticed.”
Democrats Are Ready To Flood The Polls If Roe Is Overturned
Republicans were hoping that the midterm election could be about inflation, gas prices, and their culture war, the whole midterm may hinge on the civil rights issue of choice.
The GOP always counts on Democrats not showing up in midterms. The idea that Republicans will take back the House and Senate is based on a bunch of historical trends including the political party of the president and usually lower turnout among Democratic voters in midterm elections.
In the recent past, Democrats have shown that when given a powerful issue to mobilize around, they will show up to vote in a midterm, and few issues are more powerful than choice.
There are storm clouds on the horizon for Republicans, and if the Supreme Court majority overturns Roe, it could unleash a blue wave.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — A Russian soldier facing the first war crimes trial since the start of the war in Ukraine testified Thursday that he shot a civilian on orders from two officers and pleaded for his victim’s widow to forgive him.
Sgt. Vadim Shishimarin told the court that the officer insisted that the Ukrainian man, who was speaking on his cellphone, could pinpoint their location to the Ukrainian forces.
The 21-year-old sergeant could get life in prison if convicted of shooting the Ukrainian man in the head through an open car window in a village in the northeastern Sumy region on Feb. 28, four days into the Russian invasion.
Looking subdued, Shishimarin said he at first disobeyed his immediate commanding officer’s order to shoot the unarmed civilian but had no other choice but to follow the order when it was repeated forcefully by another officer.
Shishimarin pleaded guilty to the charges during Wednesday’s hearing.
On Thursday, he asked the victim’s widow, who also appeared in the trial, to forgive him for what he did.
“I realize that you can’t forgive me, but I’m pleading you for forgiveness,” Shishimarin said.
The woman, Kateryna Shelipova, said her 62-year-old husband, Oleksandr Shelipov, got out to check what was going on when gunshots rang just outside their home. When the shooting ceased shortly after, she walked out and found her husband shot dead just outside their home.
“He was all to me. He was my defender,” she said.
Shelipova told the court that Shishimarin deserves a life sentence for killing her husband but added that she wouldn’t mind if he’s exchanged as part of a possible prisoner swap with Russia for the surrendered Ukrainian defenders of the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol.
The prosecutor asked for a life sentence for Shishimarin and the trial adjourned until Friday.
Shishimarin, a captured member of a Russian tank unit, is being prosecuted under a section of the Ukrainian criminal code that addresses the laws and customs of war.
Ukrainian Prosecutor General Iryna Venediktova previously said her office was readying war crimes cases against 41 Russian soldiers for offenses that included bombing civilian infrastructure, killing civilians, rape and looting. It was not immediately clear how many of the suspects are in Ukrainian hands and how many would be tried in absentia.
As the inaugural war-crimes case in Ukraine, Shishimarin’s prosecution was being watched closely. Investigators have been collecting evidence of possible war crimes to bring before the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

GROTON, Conn., May 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- General Dynamics Electric Boat, a business unit of General Dynamics (NYSE: GD), announced today it was awarded a modification to the previously awarded Columbia Integrated Product and Process Contract by the Naval Sea Systems Command. The modification has a total value of $313.9 million.
The contract modification will support submarine industrial base development and expansion for the construction of the Columbia-class fleet ballistic missile submarines as well as additional support for the manufacturing, procurement and delivery efforts for United Kingdom Strategic Weapon Support System kits.
"Ballistic-missile submarines are the critical, survivable leg of our nation's nuclear arsenal and Columbia is the Navy's top acquisition priority," said Kevin Graney, president of General Dynamics Electric Boat. "We are grateful for the steadfast trust and support the Navy and Congress have in Electric Boat as we continue the work we began 15 years ago to deliver Columbia and the next 60 years of deterrence for our nation."
Electric Boat will continue to work with its vendors and sub-contractors to optimize efforts to ramp up production capability and support the increased demand associated with the Columbia program.
At 560-feet long with a displacement of nearly 21,000 tons, the submarines of the Columbia class will be the largest ever built by the United States. The Columbia will have a life-of the-ship fuel core that will power the submarine for its entire service life, eliminating the need for a mid-service refueling and increasing the time the ship can spend on deployment. Electric Boat will deliver the lead ship to the Navy in 2027.
General Dynamics is a global aerospace and defense company that offers a broad portfolio of products and services in business aviation; ship construction and repair; land combat vehicles, weapons systems and munitions; and technology products and services. General Dynamics employs more than 100,000 people worldwide and generated $38.5 billion in revenue in 2021. More information is available at www.gd.com.

Spring Jamboree brings news of the Georgia High School Football Hall of Fame
ATLANTA, Ga. (CBS46) - Georgia High School Football is returning to the spotlight this Thursday night with a star-powered, four-team spring jamboree at North Gwinnett High School and the televised broadcast, starting at 6 p.m. on Peachtree TV, will also be offering an exclusive look into the inaugural Georgia High School Football Hall of Fame—ahead of its Oct. 22 Induction Ceremony.
Northside-Warner Robins and the host Bulldogs will scrimmage with their JV and reserves in the first of two sessions and the broadcast of the Georgia High School Football Hall of Fame Spring Jamboree, presented by GeorgiaConstructionCareers.com, will go live at 6 p.m. for the second session that will feature the first-teamers. Immediately after Northside and North Gwinnett concludes, Class 7A powerhouses Marietta and Archer will scrimmage—opening with their first-teamers for the first session, before scrimmaging their junior varsity and reserves off camera after the broadcast concludes.
Outstanding partnerships, a top-tier digital team, on-air talent, experts and special guests all teamed up to capture the excitement of Georgia High School Football last season. Now, more games, premier events, support and features are setting the stage for an unforgettable 2022 lineup.
Thursday night’s broadcast will include Recruiting Expert Rusty Mansell of 247Sports calling parts of the game on the sidelines with the coaches and players and the head coaches will be wearing microphones as well as there being cameras in the huddle.
“From the time I agreed to be involved with Score Atlanta and CBS46, I made it clear it was important I thought we needed to make sure we were able to show tomorrow’s college football,’’ said Mansell. “I think the key to the early success we have had is being able to find those games with multiple high-level players. It was also important to me that we would be willing to go anywhere in the state of Georgia to showcase the deep talent of the state and what it is continuing to produce.”
Thursday’s jamboree will be the first-ever televised Georgia high school football spring scrimmage and moreover, it is also a fitting opportunity to celebrate everything to come this year with Score Atlanta and Peachtree TV’s unprecedented 35-game lineup including the two scrimmages, while highlighting all the excitement surrounding the Georgia High School Football Hall of Fame ahead of its October inaugural induction ceremony on Oct. 22 at the College Football Hall of Fame. In fact, viewers on Thursday will get the chance to see the first batch of names that will go on the inaugural 100-ballot. These name releases will take place throughout Thursday’s broadcast and four players will be announced from each of the last seven decades: 1950′s, 1960′s, 1970′s, 1980′s, 1990′s, 2000′s and the segregated Georgia Interscholastic Association (1948-69). The GIA was made up of all African-American schools.
“We are about celebrating high school football from the past up till now,’’ said Score Atlanta President I.J. Rosenberg. “The 2.5 hours of television on Peachtree TV will give everyone a good look into four very strong high school programs. But at the same time, we will begin unveiling our ballot for the inaugural class of the Georgia High School Football Hall of Fame. The full 100-player ballot, which will be announced in June, begins to tell you the story of high school football in Georgia. Our board has worked hard setting the standards a player has to reach to be inducted. There are hundreds of names, many you have heard of and some you haven’t, that will have a chance to receive this honor over the years. We also will have a big announcement Thursday night about what we are going to do with the nine Georgia high school players who have been inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame. I hope everyone tunes in because we are going to have a lot of fun up at North Gwinnett.’’

Leadership at Shalom Village has been in upheaval for most of the pandemic — a time when strong and stable management was needed more than ever.
For the first half of the pandemic, the long-term-care home was run by a dentist. Larry Levin had leadership experience in dentistry and had been a longtime board member when he stepped in as interim CEO in March 2020 just before COVID hit.
He was replaced by current CEO Ken Callaghan, who came from leadership roles in primary care, in January 2021 when the Westdale home was in the midst of the one of the city’s worst COVID outbreaks.
In the past 18 months alone, the home on Macklin Street North has lost two administrators and two directors of care.
One of the administrators gave their notice during the outbreak that infected 218 at Shalom Village and led to 20 deaths from December 2020 to February 2021.
A director of care left in February 2022, the same month a troubling Ministry of Long-Term Care inspection came out alleging sexual abuse that went undocumented, a failure to do police checks on new hires, and issues with infection prevention and control.
“There has been a big changeover in management at Shalom Village over a very short period of time,” one family member said during a town hall on April 11. “It’s been a bit of a concern to all of us ... how much of an impact that changeover in management has had on the internal operations and quality of care at Shalom.”
The home is reaching out to larger organizations for advice on how to stop the turnover, said Callaghan. The 127-bed facility was founded by the Jewish community and is part of a non-profit organization that provides services to seniors.
“We definitely want to stabilize the management of Shalom Village,” Callaghan said at the town hall. “I believe that if we have a consistent, quality senior team that’s focused in resident care — including the director of care and the administrator — that we can work together to resolve a lot of these issues and/or prevent any future ones from happening.”
The revolving door in leadership has made it difficult to get clear answers about what happened during the outbreak and how the inspection one year later resulted in 22 written notifications, 16 voluntary plan of corrections and five compliance orders.
During the town hall, Callaghan provided explanations for the inspection findings that have been refuted by organizations involved.
Residents and their families were told that both allegations of sexual abuse were reported to the Hamilton Police Service. Each involved the same male personal support worker (PSW) accused of abusing one resident on May 29, 2021, and another on June 3, 2021.
“We reported both incidents to both the ministry and to the Hamilton police, investigated internally and, obviously, externally and the PSW was subsequently terminated,” Callaghan said at the town hall.
But Hamilton police spokesperson Jackie Penman checked twice before confirming: “Only one of the incidents was reported to police. There were no charges laid.”
When asked about the discrepancy, Callaghan said in a statement, “When police investigated, our understanding is that both incidents were mentioned.”
Hamilton police also dispute Callaghan’s suggestion that the home’s failure to conduct a police check on the PSW when he was hired during the 2020 outbreak was because police checks have been hard to get during the pandemic.
“What was happening during COVID, many police departments didn’t have a process that they were processing these very quickly so there was an accepted process of using personal attestations,” Callaghan said at the town hall.
But Hamilton police say there was no delay in getting police checks when the PSW was hired. Since at least fall 2020, police checks have been provided within the usual two weeks for employment and four weeks for volunteers, Penman says.
“Early in the pandemic, we had to pivot to online police background checks and worked with our online provider to ensure that background checks could be securely emailed to candidates,” she said in a statement. “This issue was resolved by the end of the summer 2020. Since then, we have kept to our police background check deadlines”
Callaghan said in the statement that not all of the home’s staff live in Hamilton — for the most part, police do checks only for local residents. He didn’t specify whether the accused PSW lives in Hamilton or not.
“Other police area services may not have been as efficient,” he stated.
The Ministry of Long-Term Care says it allowed homes to skip police checks as part of a pandemic emergency order under the Reopening Ontario Act as long as they had other measures like a personal attestation in place. It’s unclear how much of an accepted practice this became. To compare, long-term-care home St. Joseph’s Villa in Dundas has required police checks throughout the pandemic.
Since April 27, the province has gone back to requiring police checks conducted within six months of hire.
The inspection also concluded Shalom Village failed to require a declaration of past criminal offences when the PSW was hired.
Callaghan said these steps were missed because the PSW was recruited from an agency that was sending temporary workers to the home. Under the contract with Shalom Village, the agency was required to do these checks but Callaghan said the home failed to repeat them when the PSW was hired and became their employee instead.
Adding to the confusion was that Shalom Village was under a voluntary management agreement with St. Joseph’s Healthcare that started Dec. 24, 2020.
“He was actually hired while we were still under the voluntary management agreement,” Callaghan told the town hall. “We were doing some hiring at Shalom and there was some hiring being done as we tried to shore up our long-term care by the St. Joe’s organization as well on our behalf.”
But St. Joseph’s denies it was responsible for doing background checks on new staff under the agreement.
“The role of St. Joe’s under that agreement was to manage the operations of Shalom Village as it related to the COVID-19 pandemic,” the hospital network said in a statement. “St. Joe’s participated in the interviewing process for staff, while Shalom retained all administrative responsibility for the hiring and onboarding process for staff including confirming any police check information required.”
When asked about the discrepancy, Callaghan confirmed St. Joseph’s was correct.
Families also pushed back on some of Callaghan’s claims at the town hall, in particular that the accused PSW was one staff member putting Shalom Village in a bad light.
“I do appreciate it is one staff member, but really want to hammer home that that happens within a systemic environment and it is systemic in operational issues,” said one family member. “It is never just the one person ... To me the messaging about one individual kind of rings hollow because they’re operating within the broader system.”
One family member questioned the timing of the town hall. The inspection report was dated Feb. 28, 2022, but families weren’t notified about its concerning results — including the abuse allegations — until a letter was sent April 6 after The Spectator started asking questions about the findings.
Until that point, only the families of the alleged victims had been told about the sexual abuse alleged to have occurred 10 months earlier.
The town hall took place three days after the news story was published April 8.
“The meeting was the result of what was hitting the media,” said a family member. “If we are going to be open and transparent, quite frankly this information should have been conveyed a long time ago, not when the wheels are coming off the cart, so that troubles me. It makes me kind of wonder are there other things that aren’t being communicated.”
Callaghan provided further details at the town hall of the abuse allegations beyond what was in the inspection that took place over 20 days in January 2022 and one day in February.
He said a registered practical nurse (RPN) saw the PSW improperly apply barrier cream — meant to be used externally — on a female resident on May 29, 2021. However, the RPN waited until May 31 to notify the director of care about what she witnessed.
“Something still didn’t seem right to her at that time,” said Callaghan. “The director of care … within the hour asked the RPN to provide her with a statement and more details about the occurrence.”
It’s not clear why that written account took until June 2 to get to the director of care.
“At that time there were questions ... if this was a training issue or if this was something far more serious,” Callaghan said about the allegation. “While that was being investigated, a second issue (was) reported.”
On June 3, a different female resident told the director of care that the PSW inappropriately touched her breast.
The inspection flagged the time lags in reporting as contributing to the second incident allegedly taking place. Callaghan said the PSW was immediately suspended June 3 and subsequently terminated.
“We’re very sorry,” Callaghan told the town hall. “We recognize how alarming and disappointing some of this information may seem. We completely acknowledge that the findings for this inspection are a concern ... We are taking this very seriously and we are doing everything possible to address each and every one of these issues in an honest and transparent manner.”
The inspection found that in both abuse allegations, there was no documentation in the residents’ charts about the incidents or whether they were assessed afterwards.
Callaghan said the investigation notes done by the administrator and the human resources (HR) director at that time could not be located, which he called “unacceptable.”
“They were not found even though we did a thorough scouring of the HR office and the administrator’s office,” he said. “Since this fall, we now have actually kept both electronic and paper copies of all investigation notes.”
Staff have received additional training on abuse as the inspection also found this to be lacking.
Callaghan assured families at the town hall that there was no indication of any harm to the residents.
But a family member was quick to clarify: “I guess that means physical harm as opposed to emotional and psychological harm. We’ve got to be careful with that one, don’t we?”
The inspection expressed concern about whether either resident received the support or referrals they needed.
“The guiding philosophy of Shalom Village is values-based and what was recently reported was contrary to those values,” board chair David Horwood said at the town hall. “As volunteer board members, I want to reiterate how deeply saddened we are that the home is in this situation. We understand that we need to do better and are committed to doing so. I want to give you our board’s commitment to ensure that the issues that were identified through this investigation will be fully addressed.”
Stability has been difficult with the latest director of care leaving in February followed by the administrator on April 22. Neither had been in the job long.
The administrator lasted 13 months after being hired in March 2021. The previous administrator gave notice in the middle of the outbreak on Dec. 18, 2020, and left in February 2021.
The director of care made it less than seven months after their predecessor left in July 2021. Callaghan says there have been at least seven directors of care in the last five years.
“This is not a COVID issue — this is compounded quite frankly by COVID,” Callaghan told the town hall. “It’s a concern of mine and a concern of the board. How do we settle things down from a management perspective?”
Part of the problem is there are thousands of vacancies in health care at a time when many are leaving the profession burnt out by the pandemic, said Callaghan.
“These are unprecedented times,” he said at the town hall. “It’s a difficult environment in health care right now.”
The other issue is that working in long-term care is a tough job.
“We have to be quite open with, in my opinion, what is a hard position,” said Callaghan. “We have to get somebody who is in mind to put the work in and look to supporting resident quality care ... not just in what we say but what we do.” | https://www.thespec.com/news/hamilton-region/2022/05/19/shalom-village-covid-outbreak.html | 2022-05-19T20:32:17Z | https://www.thespec.com/news/hamilton-region/2022/05/19/shalom-village-covid-outbreak.html | true | 1 |

Djokovic, Nadal, Alcaraz in same half of French Open draw
Issued on:
Paris (AFP) – Defending champion Novak Djokovic, 13-time winner Rafael Nadal and new teenage star Carlos Alcaraz were drawn in the same half of the French Open on Thursday.
World number one Djokovic and Nadal, ranked five, are seeded to meet as early as the quarter-finals.
Alcaraz, 19, is bidding to become just the eighth teenager to win a Grand Slam men's title.
He could face either Djokovic or Nadal, who holds a record 21 majors, in the semi-finals in a top-heavy draw for the second Grand Slam of the season.
"I am very motivated to play my best tennis," said two-time French Open champion and 20-time major winner Djokovic.
"In Paris, I always play very strong. Last year, it was the toughest major that I had won."
Djokovic had to twice come from two sets down last year to beat Lorenzo Musetti in the last-16 and Stefanos Tsitspas in the final having also beaten Nadal from a set behind in a bruising semi-final.
"Musetti, Rafa, Tsitsipas -- every match lasted more than three hours. It was exhausting but I loved the outcome."
Djokovic, who celebrates his 35th birthday on Sunday, the opening day at Roland Garros, faces 94th-ranked Yoshihito Nishioka of Japan in the first round.
Djokovic defeated Nishioka in straight sets in the Australian Open third round in 2020.
He will be fired up to defend his title having been deported from Melbourne in January because of his refusal to get vaccinated.
Nadal starts against Australia's Jordan Thompson as he looks to extend his French Open record of only three defeats in 108 matches at the tournament since his title-winning debut in 2005.
Oasaka faces Anisimova
Thompson, ranked at 82, made the third round in Paris in 2019 before losing to Juan Martin del Potro.
Nadal arrived at Roland Garros looking to shake off the recurrence of a long-term foot injury which saw him limp to an early defeat in Rome last week where Djokovic claimed a sixth title in the Italian capital.
The Spaniard could face 2015 champion Stan Wawrinka in the second round.
Alcaraz, who has a season-leading four titles in 2022 including Masters crowns in Miami and Madrid as well as Rio and Barcelona, begins against a qualifier.
The teenager knocked out Djokovic and Nadal on his way to victory in the Spanish capital.
Alcaraz's potential opponent in the last 32 is Sebastian Korda who shocked him in the first round in Monte Carlo in April.
Second seed Daniil Medvedev, the US Open champion, faces Argentina's Facundo Bagnis in his first round.
Third-ranked Alexander Zverev meets a qualifier while Tsitsipas has a tough opener against Musetti.
In the women's draw, world number one Iga Swiatek, the 2020 champion, is on a 28-match win streak and has pocketed five successive titles this season.
The 20-year-old Pole begins against a qualifier while second seed and defending champion Barbora Krejcikova faces France's Diane Parry.
"The courts are incredible. The clay is different from the other tournaments but it suits me," said Krejcikova at Thursday's draw ceremony at Roland Garros.
Four-time major winner Naomi Osaka, a former world number one but now down at 38, returns to Paris 12 months after she pulled out ahead of the second round, citing mental health issues.
She had also been threatened with expulsion and fined by organisers over her refusal to attend press conferences.
The 24-year-old, the world's highest-earning sportswoman, faces American 27th seed Amanda Anisimova, a semi-finalist in Paris in 2019.
Anisimova knocked Osaka out of the Australian Open in the third round this year.
Third seed Paula Badosa of Spain begins against France's Fiona Ferro while fourth-seeded Maria Sakkari also has a French opponent in Clara Burel.
Tunisia's Ons Jabeur, seeded six and the champion on clay in Madrid last month, takes on Magda Linette of Poland in her first round clash.

Wildfires 'have potential to exhaust resources,' Texas A&M Forest Service says
TAYLOR COUNTY, Texas - Large wildfires have ripped through parts of West Texas since Tuesday, prompting a disaster declaration and mandatory evacuations in southern Taylor County.
The Mesquite Heat Fire near Buffalo Gap, about 17 miles southwest of Abilene, has burned 5,000 acres in Taylor County since Tuesday. At least 10 homes have been destroyed. Some parts of U.S. Highway 277 have been closed, as well as some other major roads. Officials also issued a temporary flight restriction, instructing pilots to avoid operating aircrafts in the area.
Only about 5% of the fire had been contained as of Wednesday night, according to the Taylor County Sheriff’s Office.
Low humidity, gusty winds and very hot temperatures are contributing to critical fire conditions in the area, according to the National Weather Service. Isolated thunderstorms could also produce gusty and erratic winds, which would make the fire harder to control. More fires could break out through Friday.
Texas A&M Forest Service has responded to nine fires across the state this week. The Coconut Fire in Wilbarger County has burned an estimated 25,000 acres and was 20% contained as of Thursday morning. The Forest Service said the ongoing wildfires "have the potential to exhaust state and local resources."
"Minimal rainfall, hot and dry conditions and an intensifying drought continue to support wildfire activity across the state," Wes Moorehead, Texas A&M Forest Service fire chief, said in a statement. "Due to conditions, these wildfires are requiring more time and resources to contain."
PREVIOUS COVERAGE:
- Disaster declared in Texas county as large wildfires continue to rapidly spread
- Evacuations ordered, firefighter injured as fires scorch Texas landscape
Wildfires are becoming more severe and frequent because of human-caused climate change. Record-breaking heat and worsening droughts are drying out grasslands and lengthening the fire season. More Texans are also moving to areas where wildfires are part of the landscape’s natural ecology.
The average daily minimum and maximum temperatures in Texas have both increased by 2.2 degrees Fahrenheit in the last 125 years, with nearly half the increase happening since 2000, according to a 2021 report by the state climatologist. The state just saw its hottest December on record since 1889.
Almost the entire state is considered in a drought, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. About 53% of the state — mostly North and West Texas — is in an extreme drought, meaning soil moisture is very low, crops fail to germinate and fire danger is high.
The disaster declaration in Taylor County means additional resources can be used for emergency procedures. U.S. Rep. Jodey Arrington, R-Lubbock, said in a statement he was monitoring the fire and coordinating with local and state officials, including Gov. Greg Abbott’s office and the Texas Division of Emergency Management. American Electric Power is also working to restore power in the area.
Wildfires are Taylor County’s greatest environmental risk. About 91% of property in the area has some risk of being affected by wildfire over the next 30 years, according to Fire Factor, a property risk monitoring tool built by the First Street Foundation.

WASHINGTON — The January 6th Committee said Thursday it believes new evidence shows a Republican congressman led a tour at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 5 – potentially contradicting claims by the GOP members of the Committee on House Administration.
In a letter to Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), the committee requested the congressman voluntarily testify next week about evidence they’ve reviewed showing he may have led a tour “through parts of the Capitol complex on January 5, 2021.”
“The foregoing information raises questions to which the Select Committee must seek answers,” the letter reads. “Public reporting and witness accounts indicate some individuals and groups engaged in efforts to gather information about the layout of the U.S. Capitol, as well as the House and Senate office buildings, in advance of January 6, 2021. For example, in the week following January 6th, Members urged law enforcement leaders to investigate sightings of ‘outside groups in the complex’ on January 5th that ‘appeared to be associated with the rally at the White House the following day.’”
Concerns about possible tours of the Capitol drew significant attention in the wake of the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol Building but, to date, no concrete evidence had been presented. In the week after the assault, Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) called the alleged tours “a reconnaissance for the next day.” Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) claimed to have personally witnessed tours of the Capitol.
"In the lead up to Jan. 6, what I witnessed was members of the public, people who had no business being in the Capitol during the shutdowns, milling about in the office buildings," Spanberger said. "The way that these individuals would have entered the Capitol in the first place would have been with a member of Congress making that possible.”
At the time, public tours of the Capitol were suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the January 6th Committee’s letter, Republicans on the Committee on House Administration — of which Loudermilk is a member — claimed to have reviewed security footage from the days prior to Jan. 6 and determined there were no tours or large groups at the Capitol.
“However, the Select Committee’s review of evidence directly contradicts that denial,” the letter reads.
Loudermilk, a U.S. Air Force veteran and former member of both chambers of the Georgia State Legislature, was one of more than 120 Republicans to sign an amicus brief contesting the results of the 2020 presidential election and voted on Jan. 6 to object to the certification of Electoral College votes from Arizona and Pennsylvania. In a December 2020 statement, he said he had “reasonable and significant doubt” that the electors from his own state of Georgia “actually reflect the true will of the people.”
As of 4 p.m. Thursday, Loudermilk had not issued a public response to the committee’s letter.
The committee’s request for testimony from Loudermilk comes as it has ramped up efforts to hear from Republican members of the House believed to have information about Jan. 6. Last week, the committee took the nearly unprecedented step of subpoenaing five GOP representatives. They included House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), who are both believed to have spoken directly with former President Donald Trump during the Capitol riot. In its subpoenas, the committee said the recipients include “those who participated in meetings at the White House, those who had direct conversations with President Trump leading up to and during the attack on the Capitol, and those who were involved in the planning and coordination of certain activities on and before January 6th.”

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have welcomed a baby boy, according to multiple reports.
The couple, who first revealed her pregnancy with a belly-baring Harlem photo shoot in January, became parents May 13 in Los Angeles, said TMZ, the first to report the birth Thursday based on unnamed sources. A representative for Rihanna did not immediately return an email from The Associated Press seeking confirmation.
During her pregnancy, Rihanna stunned in designer looks that showed off her growing bump, but her pregnancy wasn't drama free.
The 33-year-old A$AP was arrested April 20 at Los Angeles International Airport in connection with a shooting in Hollywood last year, authorities said. The rapper, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, was accused of firing a handgun at an acquaintance, who sustained a minor injury and later sought medical treatment, police said.
People magazine, citing an unnamed source, said A$AP and Rihanna, 34, are home in Los Angeles with the baby, their first.
The two went public with their relationship in 2020. | https://www.nbcwashington.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/rihanna-and-aap-rocky-reportedly-welcome-baby-boy-in-la/3056441/ | 2022-05-19T20:54:16Z | https://www.nbcwashington.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/rihanna-and-aap-rocky-reportedly-welcome-baby-boy-in-la/3056441/ | false | 30 |

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Nashville Predators have extended the contracts of coach John Hynes and his assistants through the 2023-24 season, trying to build on a season with several individual successes for a franchise that wound up being swept in the playoffs for the first time.
General manager David Poile announced Thursday that Hynes and his assistants have agreed to the extensions.
“I believe John and his coaching staff are the right move to lead us back into Cup contention, and I will do everything in my power to give him the necessary tools to accomplish that goal," Poile said.
Poile hired Hynes in January 2020 to take over as Nashville's third head coach all-time, replacing Peter Laviolette. Hynes has won only three playoff games with the Predators, who have not won a postseason series since the first round in 2018 after winning the Presidents' Trophy with Laviolette.
Top-seeded Colorado finished off a sweep of Nashville on May 9 as the Predators finished the season winning one of their final nine games.
That's despite a lineup with captain Roman Josi, a Norris Trophy finalist, posting the highest-scoring season by a defenseman in 29 years, goalie Juuse Saros, a Vezina Trophy finalist after notching 38 of Nashville's 45 wins, and Matt Duchene, who set the franchise's single-season, goal- scoring mark with 43, one more than Filip Forsberg.
Hynes said the Predators wanted to be hard to play against with an aggressive, fast style. The Predators led the NHL in fighting majors, total penalties and penalty minutes. Hynes said that's already an area where they are working to clean up penalties that playing with better discipline can avoid.
“We've all got to be better to get to a level where that series can be much more competitive than it was,” Hynes said.
Poile noted Thursday that Nashville has worked to turn one of the NHL's older rosters into one of the league's youngest. During the series with Colorado, only six Predators remained from that 2018 first-round win over the Avalanche: Josi, defenseman Mattias Ekholm, centers Ryan Johansen and Colton Sissons, Forsberg and Saros.
The general manager said the sweep at Colorado's hands made clear that Nashville is more than just one or two players away. Nashville did reach an eighth straight playoff berth, tied for second-most in the NHL with Washington and trailing only Pittsburgh's run, but Poile said his job is to get better talent for Hynes.
The plan to turn Nashville back into Stanley Cup contenders has the backing of the ownership group, something Poile talked repeatedly about over the past 10 days with team president Sean Henry and team chairman Herb Fritch.
“We have the group's full support,” Poile said.
Poile didn't have anything new to report on negotiations for a contract extension for Forsberg, who scored a career-high 42 goals in 69 games this season. Poile said Forsberg has earned the right to be a free agent but wants to keep him on the team.
“We are going to continue working to try to find that right deal that works for both sides, and we know that he can be a big piece of where we are trying to go," Poile said.

SAN DIEGO, May 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Inhibrx, Inc. (Nasdaq: INBX), a biotechnology company with four clinical programs in development and an emerging pre-clinical pipeline, announced today that it will be presenting details on the trial design for the INBRX-109 Phase 2 potentially registration-enabling trial in conventional chondrosarcoma at the 2022 American Society of Clinical Oncology ("ASCO") Annual Meeting to be held June 3rd through June 7th, 2022 in Chicago, Illinois.
Details on the poster presentation are shared below:
Title: A randomized, placebo-controlled phase 2 trial of INBRX-109 in unresectable or metastatic conventional chondrosarcoma
Track/Session: Sarcoma
Poster number:486a
Presenter: Sant P. Chawla, MD
Date & Time: Sunday, June 5, 2022 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. CST
Location: Exhibit Hall A
The poster will be available on-demand on the ASCO website for attendees beginning at 9:00 AM CST on Friday, June 3, 2022. Upon release at ASCO, the scientific poster will be accessible through Inhibrx's website at https://inhibrx.investorroom.com/events-and-presentations.
About Chondrosarcoma
Chondrosarcoma is an orphan bone cancer with approximately 2,800 new patients diagnosed annually in the United States and the European Union. There are currently no systemic therapies approved for the treatment of chondrosarcoma.
About INBRX-109
INBRX-109 is a precision-engineered, tetravalent death receptor 5 (DR5) agonist antibody designed to exploit the tumor-biased cell death induced by DR5 signaling.
In January 2021, the FDA granted Fast Track designation to INBRX-109 for the treatment of patients with unresectable or metastatic conventional chondrosarcoma. Further, in December 2021, FDA granted Orphan Drug Designation to INBRX-109 for this indication.
In November 2021, Inhibrx provided updated results from its ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of INBRX-109 in patients with conventional chondrosarcoma. Preliminary disease control was observed in 16 of the 18 evaluable patients (89%) measured by RECISTv1.1, with two of the 18 achieving partial responses (11%). Based on preliminary results of the ongoing Phase 1 trial, the median progression-free survival (PFS) is 7.4 months, and the median overall survival has not been reached. Three patients have exceeded 61 weeks on treatment with INBRX-109, with 77 weeks being the longest duration of stable disease observed to date.
In June 2021, Inhibrx initiated a randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled, potentially registration-enabling Phase 2 trial of INBRX-109 in conventional chondrosarcoma. The trial will be conducted at approximately 51 sites within eight countries, with 30 of those sites in the United States.

A man has died after being hit by a lorry in Co Tipperary.
Gardai are appealing for witnesses after the man in his 60s was struck by an articulated lorry on the M8 motorway near Burncourt, Cahir, at around 3pm.
The pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the lorry, a man in his 30s, did not require medical treatment.
The man’s body has been removed from the scene and the local coroner has been notified.
Gardai said the southbound carriageway of the motorway remains closed to traffic between J11 Cahir south and J12 Mitchelstown north, with diversions in place. | https://www.echolive.ie/nationalnews/arid-40876832.html | 2022-05-19T21:06:24Z | https://www.echolive.ie/nationalnews/arid-40876832.html | false | null |
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — A former interim mayor in Puerto Rico pleaded guilty Thursday to participating in a bribery conspiracy just weeks after the ex-mayor he replaced pleaded guilty in the same case.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office said Ramón Conde Meléndez, who also once served as director of public works for the southern town of Guayama, received cash in exchange for certifying the completion of asphalt projects.
Authorities said Conde received kickback payments from the owner of an asphalt and paving company equaling about $1 for every square meter of asphalt removed, for a total of more than $15,000. The owner's identity was not released.
It was not immediately clear if Conde had an attorney.
In late April, former Guayama Mayor Eduardo Cintrón pleaded guilty to accepting bribes in exchange for awarding contracts and approving invoice payments for the asphalt projects. Authorities said the kickback scheme operated for eight years. | https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/Ex-interim-mayor-in-Puerto-Rico-pleads-guilty-to-17184957.php | 2022-05-19T21:09:02Z | https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/Ex-interim-mayor-in-Puerto-Rico-pleads-guilty-to-17184957.php | false | null |
(The Hill) — Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is adding a husband to her personal squad after getting engaged to her longtime boyfriend.
The high-profile New York Democrat is set to tie the knot with technology consultant Riley Roberts, she confirmed Thursday to Business Insider.
Ocasio-Cortez had been eyed sporting a ring on her engagement finger in photos captured by The Hill.
Her office did not respond to ITK’s request for comment.
While Ocasio-Cortez maintains a famously heavy social media presence — with more than 8 million Instagram followers and nearly 13 million on Twitter — she’s typically kept details of her romantic life under wraps.
The couple met while students at Boston University.
Roberts opened up in one of Ocasio-Cortez’s Instagram story videos last year when asked about maintaining a “healthy relationship” with someone who’s in the public eye.
“We spend mornings together, spend quality time together, browse TikTok together,” Roberts said.
The 32-year-old lawmaker’s engagement news, first reported by Latino Rebels correspondent Pablo Manríquez, came hours after she said in an Instagram post that a health issue had sidelined her “for the last week or two.”
“Don’t worry, it wasn’t COVID and I’m fine now,” she wrote.
“I’m back at it today, but was MIA for a bit to recover,” she said. “Just wanted to provide you all some assurance that the silence wasn’t political or anything as I know that worried some.” | https://www.wkbn.com/news/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-engaged-to-longtime-boyfriend-riley-roberts/ | 2022-05-19T21:09:04Z | https://www.wkbn.com/news/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-engaged-to-longtime-boyfriend-riley-roberts/ | false | 15 |

Exxon to sell north Texas gas assets to BKV for $750 million
By Sabrina Valle
May 19 (Reuters) - Exxon Mobil Corp XOM.N on Thursday said it signed a deal to sell north Texas natural gas properties to BKV Corp for $750 million plus addition payments based on future gas prices.
Denver-based BKV Corp is majority owned by Thai energy firm Banpu PCL BANPU.BK and among the largest natural gas producers now operating in the Barnett Shale, an area of north Texas where the first shale wells were successfully drilled.
Exxon, the top U.S. oil producer, is looking to sell assets in Asia, Africa and Europe as it as focuses on ventures in Guyana, offshore Brazil and the Permian Basin of West Texas and New Mexico.
It set a goal more than three years ago of raising $15 billion from sales. Last year, it took in $2.6 billion from asset sales, up from $1 billion in 2020.
“We are focused on delivering the most competitive returns to our shareholders by developing opportunities with the lowest cost of supply,” said Liam Mallon, president of Exxon Mobil Upstream Company.
The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter. Exxon said it had removed the Barnett Shale gas assets operated by its subsidiaries XTO Energy Inc and Barnett Gathering LLC from its development plan in 2020.

Lost in the glorious din of a groovy 3-2 Avalanche playoff win was a sneaky good score made by front-office honcho Joe Sakic way back at the NHL trade deadline.
Amid loud fanfare, the Florida Panthers acquired Philadelphia captain and All-Star Game MVP Claude Giroux, while Sakic made an under-the-radar move for Anaheim defenseman Josh Manson.
Advantage, Avs.
Laugh if you want. But check back with me when Giroux is watching from the sofa while Manson takes the ice in the NHL Finals.
Back in March, with the clock ticking down to the trade deadline, I recall a little grousing by folks who pretend to know hockey that the Avs didn’t do enough to improve their championship chances. But getting Manson was a smokin’ good deal by Joe.
One big reason to believe the Avalanche won’t fall apart this time in the quest for the Stanley Cup is the acquisition of the 6-foot-3, 215-pound Manson, a valuable glue guy.
How Manson has made Colorado a much tougher playoff out was apparent to even a knucklehead like me long before Manson won Game 1 of this best-of-seven series against St. Louis with a bomb from the blue line 8 minutes and 2 seconds into overtime.
“First playoff goal,” said Manson, who waited eight long years into his NHL career before living the dream of scoring when it counts most.
He thanked the hockey gods for surviving the raucous Tuesday night celebration with Colorado teammates, claiming Erik Johnson was three feet off the ice before jumping into his arms.
“And he’s a big guy,” Manson joked.
We’ll get to the overlooked value of Manson here shortly. But first let’s give credit to the big behind of Avalanche captain Gabe Landeskog.
On a night when the Avs could’ve cursed the hockey gods for clanging posts and St. Louis goalie Jordan Binnington stopped every puck he laid eyes on while making 51 saves, Colorado won the game on a shot Binnington never saw coming, because the No. 92 on the back of Landeskog’s sweater was the only thing in his line of sight.
“That whole shift was him,” said Manson, giving Landy credit for doing all the small things that make the difference between winning and losing.
Prior to the playoffs, Avs big shot Nathan MacKinnon said the team’s best players would have to drive the bus on the road to the Cup. Well, with a little grinding of the gears, the bus can be driven in reverse as well as forward.
As Manson fired from the perimeter of the attack zone, Landeskog was backing up his bum toward the blue paint, leaving Binnington so blind he barely flinched when Manson’s shot flew over his left shoulder before landing softly in the webbing of the goal frame.
“Then you just hear the crowd erupting,” Landeskog said.
When the going gets tough in the NHL playoffs, pretty doesn’t always win. The Avs dominated play for three periods, but were forced to overtime when Jordan Kyrou got a puck by Colorado goalie Darcy Kuemper late in regulation.
When the Avs could’ve gotten frustrated “there was no change in mentality,” said Manson, who also produced an assist by perfectly teeing up defensive mate Sam Girard for a goal during the second period.
After joining a new team at the deadline, the transition for any player, even one with the 453 games of NHL experience Manson brought to Colorado, isn’t always seamless. There certainly was a period of adjustment with Manson.
“He was thinking too much,” Colorado coach Jared Bednar admitted.
But after Manson unlearned the Anaheim way of doing things and adjusted to the Avalanche’s defensive structure, “now we’re seeing exactly why we got him,” Bednar said.
What I like best about Manson as a rock-steady influence on the Avalanche’s second defensive pairing is how his presence has allowed Girard to remain the same pesky Chihuahua on attack, while also being a calming influence on Sam the Heel-Biter known to get yappy and a little too excited when provoked under pressure.
“(He’s) has been huge for us,” Landeskog said. “He’s big on the penalty kill. He’s a physical presence (at the blue line). He’s a calming influence in the room. He’s got experience. He’s a really good teammate … and you can’t get enough of those.”
The secret of winning the Cup is in all the dirty, little details. While the puck can take funny bounces, nobody who blames the fickle nature of Lady Luck ever wins a championship. On a night when Binnington and the Blues could’ve stolen Game 1, they didn’t get it done.
Avs in five.
The trade for Manson wasn’t a blockbuster.
It was a quiet little move by Sakic that blew the roof off Ball Arena when Manson scored in overtime. | https://www.journal-advocate.com/2022/05/18/avalanche-blues-joe-sakic-sneaky-good-move-josh-manson/ | 2022-05-19T21:16:24Z | https://www.journal-advocate.com/2022/05/18/avalanche-blues-joe-sakic-sneaky-good-move-josh-manson/ | false | 3 |
Matthew Tkachuk scored a hat trick for the Calgary Flames in Wednesday’s 9-6 win over the Edmonton Oilers to open their playoff series.
The NHL’s first playoff Battle of Alberta in 31 years compensated for its long absence with an abundance of goals in Game 1.
Blake Coleman scored twice for the Flames. Rasmus Andersson and Andrew Mangiapane each had a goal and two assists.
Elias Lindholm and Brett Ritchie also scored for Calgary while goaltender Jacob Markstrom stopped 22 shots for the win.
Zach Hyman scored twice for Edmonton. Connor McDavid produced his fourth straight multi-point game in the playoffs with a goal and three assists.
Edmonton’s captain leads the league’s post-season points race with five goals and 13 assists.
Leon Draisaitl had a goal and two assists and Kailer Yamamoto and Evan Bouchard also scored for the Oilers.
Edmonton starter Mike Smith was pulled in the first period after allowing three Calgary goals on 10 shots. Mikko Koskinen made 32 saves in relief.
The winner of the best-of-seven series advances to the Western Conference final.
Game 2 is Friday at the Saddledome before the series heads to Edmonton for Sunday’s Game 3 and Tuesday’s Game 4.
Teams that take a 1-0 lead in a best-of-seven series hold a series record of 503-232 (.684), according to NHL statisticians.
In a matchup of potent offences, the question ahead of the series was which team could keep the puck on its sticks and spend more time in the offensive zone.
Calgary dominated that department early. The Flames scored twice in a 25-second span in the first minute and led 3-0 by 6:05 when Smith was replaced by Koskinen.
Calgary’s two goals in the opening 51 seconds was the fastest two goals to start an NHL playoff game, and electrified a sea of red dotted with Oiler orange and blue at the Scotiabank Saddledome.
The Oilers would not go quietly, however.
The Flames had survived a goaltender-dominated, grinding series with the Dallas Stars in the first round.
Wednesday’s Game 1 was, by contrast, an open-ice track meet of mediocre goaltending. The Flames held a 40-18 edge in shots after two periods, but led 6-5 heading into the third.
Edmonton’s Yamamoto briefly tied the game at 1:28 putting McDavid’s rebound over Markstrom’s outstretched pad.
Andersson regained the lead for Calgary at 2:57. Mangiapane from behind the net fed the all-alone defenceman whose wrist shot beat Koskinen’s glove.
Tkachuk gave the Flames a two-goal lead at 8:55 with his second of the night. He snared a Draisaitl turnover at the blue line and beat Koskinen five-hole on a breakaway.
Tkachuk scored into an empty net to complete his hat trick. Hats rained down onto the Saddledome ice and chants of “we want 10” goals soon followed.
Draisaitl pulled the visitors within a goal at 19:21 of the second period when he beat Markstrom far side on an odd-man rush with McDavid.
Hyman scored at 9:38 and 14:06 of the second period. He circled out from behind the net and whipped the puck by Markstrom’s glove for his second.
Hyman skated the puck into Calgary’s end, stopped and got a shot away between defenceman Michael Stone’s legs that deflected off Markstrom and into the top corner for his first.
Tkachuk batted in a rebound for a power-play goal at 8:24 after Bouchard converted a McDavid pass at 7:10. McDavid spun off of Dillon Dube to get a cross-ice pass away to Bouchard.
Zack Kassian’s roughing penalty after Bouchard’s goal gave Calgary the man-advantage for Tkachuk’s goal.
Coleman struck 45 seconds into the second period and again at 6:10 for a 5-1 Flames lead.
He redirected a Noah Hanifin shot for his second goal and put a rebound over a prone Koskinen during a scramble around the crease for his first.
McDavid glided in front of the net and patiently waited for Markstrom to commit before tucking the puck between the goalie’s pads at 7:41 of the first period.
Ritchie scored his first career playoff goal at 6:05. He knocked Edmonton’s Evander Kane off the puck at the Oilers’ blue line, reached to collect the loose puck and got a shot away under Smith’s arm.
From behind the net, Backlund dished to an undefended Mangiapane in the slot for the latter to beat Smith from close range 51 seconds after opening puck drop.
Lindholm converted Calgary’s first shot of the game into a goal 26 seconds after opening faceoff. He settled a bouncing puck off a cross-ice dish from Rasmus Andersson and swept it far side over Smith’s glove.
The Flames were minus top shutdown defenceman Chris Tanev a second straight playoff game. He was injured in Game 6 of Calgary’s first-round series against Dallas.
Tanev skated in both Tuesday’s practice and in Wednesday’s morning skate, but did not dress for Game 1.
Notes: With his 94th career playoff win as a head coach, Darryl Sutter joined Pat Quinn ranked No. 6 all-time … With three assists in Game 1, Johnny Gaudreau joined Jarome Iginla and Martin Gelinas (2004) among Flames to carry a six-game point streak in the playoffs … McDavid was the first Oiler to score a goal in four straight post-season games since Michael Peca and Shawn Horcoff in 2006 … The red lot fan zone adjacent to the Saddledome was closed Wednesday because of high winds … Game 1 was the highest scoring playoff game involving Calgary and Edmonton surpassing the previous high of 12 goals scored in Game 3 of the 1983 Smythe Division final.

Red Alert: Breaking Dem Legislation Could End Gun Sales to All Current Firearm Owners Forever, Require DOJ License
Do you want Merrick Garland to decide if you’re eligible to own a gun every time you acquire a new firearm?
Senate Democrats are pushing gun control in the run-up to the midterms, in the form of a bill introduced on Thursday.
They’re using the Buffalo mass shooting as a political tool, even though the gunman easily bypassed New York’s gun control laws to attack unarmed grocery shoppers.
Democratic Sens. Cory Booker, Richard Blumenthal and Bob Menendez are introducing the Federal Firearms Licensing Act, according to Politico.
The law would fundamentally revise gun ownership from a right enjoyed by American citizens to a privilege bestowed by the government at its own discretion.
Acquiring or buying a new gun would require a lengthy licensing process through the Department of Justice — every time you purchase a new firearm.
Buying a gun from a licensed firearms dealer already requires a NICS background check. Existing law prevents felons from buying or owning guns.
Booker’s bill would give the Attorney General discretion to approve or deny a federal firearms license, even if you’ve never been convicted of a crime.
The Attorney General would be able to deny a firearms license if they determined that the prospective gun owner “poses a significant danger of bodily injury to self or others” by owning a firearm.
The federal government could deny Americans gun rights if they’ve ever been arrested or have a history of drug or alcohol use. They can even be denied for the “unsafe storage or handling of firearms.”
Furthermore, some could be denied a firearm because of a “recent acquisition of firearms, ammunition or other deadly weapons.”
Imagine that — getting denied by the federal government to purchase a gun because you’ve previously purchased a gun.
Applicants for federal permission would also have to submit proof of taking extensive safety classes. Learning how to properly handle firearms from your parents simply won’t cut it.
Gun control is one of several issues in which public opinion has swayed away from the Democratic platform in recent years.
Attempts to ram through massive gun control packages during Barack Obama’s presidency ended in failure for Democrats.
Making gun ownership a privilege to be bestowed by the federal government rather than a right is a questionable plan to reverse Democrats’ dismal midterm prospects.
The gun control package is all but dead in the 50-50 Senate, but Republicans hoping for a midterm campaign boost may want progressives to emphasize the federal gun license proposal as much as possible.

Chicago's dancing crossing guard brings joy to her job every day: 'I want to give love to those who need it'
CHICAGO - As the school year winds down in Illinois, students and their families are reminded to thank those who have made positive impacts on their academic journey, and that goes beyond the classroom.
May 19 is Crossing Guard Appreciation Day in Illinois, a day to salute all the people who get children to school safely.
They protect kids through all kinds of weather and danger, and they all bring their own personalities to the job.
One crossing guard at 53rd and State streets in Washington Park brings her best moves too. Tammy Anderson has been stationed outside Edward Beasley Academic Center since 2016.

But over time, Anderson got a little bored and started waving at the cars and dancing her heart out and passing drivers have returned the love.
"It's smooth and easy over here," Anderson said. "The drivers are behaving because they know it's me. And it's order out here. See, you got to bless the streets before you come out here. Then you get order. It comes."
"I like that she's full of joy, and she's energized and moves around," said Leia Gilkes.
"I'm very excited. This is Leia's first year at Beasley, and so she was a little nervous, but when she saw Miss Anderson, it kind of just motivated her and energized her," said Kenneth Gilkes.

Safety is always first, but with this platform each morning, Anderson can't help but try to spread some joy. | https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/chicago-dancing-crossing-guard-brings-joy-job | 2022-05-19T21:19:06Z | https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/chicago-dancing-crossing-guard-brings-joy-job | true | 1 |
NEW YORK (AP)The Dallas Mavericks were fined $50,000 by the NBA on Wednesday for a second violation of bench decorum during their Western Conference semifinal series against Phoenix.
The second fine, twice as much as the first, was issued after Dallas’ blowout Game 7 victory in Phoenix that sent the Mavericks to the West finals against Golden State. Game 1 of that series was Wednesday night in San Francisco.
The league said players and a member of the coaching staff stood for extended periods, were too far from the bench area and encroached on the court during game action. Dallas beat Phoenix 123-90 on Sunday night.
The previous fine was issued after Game 2 in Phoenix, won by the Suns 129-109 for a 2-0 series lead. The Mavericks rallied by winning four of the last five games.
Dallas coach Jason Kidd criticized the league after the first fine, saying the league is focusing on the wrong things. He said players cheering their teammates should be celebrated rather than punished.
The second fine was issued not long before Kidd was to speak to reporters before the opener of the West finals.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A federal judge sentenced an Oregon man to five years in prison Thursday for brandishing a knife on an Amtrak train passing through Wisconsin.
U.S. District Judge William Conley sentenced 32-year-old Timothy Thomas of Portland on Thursday. Thomas pleaded guilty in March to intentionally interfering with a train conductor.
According to prosecutors, passengers on an Amtrak train passing through Monroe County in November 2020 complained that Thomas was threatening people and banging on seats. They also said he refused to wear his mask and was coughing on passengers. The country was in the midst of a COVID-19 surge at the time.
When the conductor confronted him he pulled out an 8-inch knife and began stabbing it toward the conductor. The engineer stopped the train., Thomas got off and tried to force his way into one of the locomotives. Police arrived and took him into custody.
“Mr. Thomas is deeply sorry, and he's committed to becoming a vigilant steward of his mental health,” Thomas' attorney, Peter Moyers, said in an emailed statement to The Associated Press. | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Man-gets-5-years-for-brandishing-knife-on-train-17185110.php | 2022-05-19T21:22:09Z | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Man-gets-5-years-for-brandishing-knife-on-train-17185110.php | false | 11 |

With actively managed and index-based investment capabilities across multiple asset classes, Virtus offers a range of complementary exchange-traded-funds subadvised by select investment managers.
Infrastructure Capital Advisors, LLC (ICA) is an SEC-registered investment advisor that manages exchange traded funds and a series of hedge funds. The firm was formed in 2012 and is based in New York City. ICA seeks total-return opportunities in key infrastructure sectors, including energy, real estate, transportation, industrials and utilities. It often identifies opportunities in entities that are not taxed at the entity level, such as master limited partnerships ("MLPs") and real estate investment trusts ("REITs"). It also looks for opportunities in credit and related securities, such as preferred stocks. Current income is a primary objective in most, but not all, of the company's investing activities. The focus is generally on asset-intensive companies that generate and distribute substantial streams of free cash flow. For more information, please visit www.infracapfunds.com.
Exchange Traded Funds: The value of an ETF may be more volatile than the underlying portfolio of securities the ETF is designed to track. The costs of owning the ETF may exceed the cost of investing directly in the underlying securities.
MLP Interest Rates: As yield-based investments, MLPs carry interest rate risk and may underperform in rising interest rate environments. Additionally, when investors have heightened fears about the economy, the risk spread between MLPs and competing investment options can widen, which may have an adverse effect on the stock price of MLPs. Rising interest rates may increase the potential cost of MLPs financing projects or cost of operations, and may affect the demand for MLP investments, either of which may result in lower performance by or distributions from the Fund's MLP investments.
Industry/Sector Concentration: A fund that focuses its investments in a particular industry or sector will be more sensitive to conditions that affect that industry or sector than a non-concentrated fund.
Short Sales: The Fund may engage in short sales, and may experience a loss if the price of a borrowed security increases before the date on which the Fund replaces the security.
Leverage: When a Fund leverages its portfolio, the value of its shares may be more volatile and all other risks may be compounded.
Derivatives: Investments in derivatives such as futures, options, forwards, and swaps may increase volatility or cause a loss greater than the principal investment.
MLPs: Investments in Master Limited Partnerships may be adversely impacted by tax law changes, regulation, or factors affecting underlying assets.
No Guarantee: There is no guarantee that the portfolio will meet its objective.
You should consider the Fund's investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses carefully before investing. Contact VP Distributors LLC at 1-888-383-4184 or visit www.infracapmlp.com to obtain a prospectus which contains this and other information about the Fund.

California Love: Texas' Sarkisian To Work With LA Rams McVay on 'Scoring More Touchdowns'
Texas coach Steve Sarkisian will be in for a busy summer. He'll have to prepare for his second go-around at Big 12 Media Days. He also will be getting his team ready for a pivotal season in the history of the program.
Along the way, Sark will head back to his home state of California to spend a few days with Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay. The hope? Perhaps the Longhorns head coach can find a way to "score a few more touchdowns" on the way to better results in 2022.
McVay has been revered as one of the NFL's top coaches for his innovative offense and consistency during his five seasons as the Rams' head coach. Under his direction, Los Angeles has never finished below .500 and only missed the playoffs once.
Last season, the Rams defeated Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals in a 23-20 Super Bowl LVI victory in front of the home crowd. One season with Matthew Stafford at the helm, Los Angeles finally won the big game for the first time since 1999.
Perhaps Sarkisian can take something away from a weekend with McVay. One of the biggest areas Texas must improve is in second-half adjustments, a glaring weakness for the Horns throughout the 2021 campaign.
Texas suffered a six-game losing streak midseason on the way to a 5-7 finish. The opponent, location, and timing didn't matter to the results as each week felt like one prior. The Horns would start hot, enter halftime with a lead and implode.
Wash, rinse repeat all the way until the season final victory over Kansas State.
Arch Manning Watch: Sark 'Won't Panic' About QB Recruiting
"I don’t panic,” Sarkisian said. “I didn’t panic last year with the linemen. I won’t panic with the quarterbacks."
No. 22 Texas Looks to Close Regular Season Strong Against Kansas
The Longhorns welcome the Jayhawks to Austin for their final regular season series.
Steve Sarkisian Ranks 39th on CBS Sports’ Power Five Head Coach Rankings
Steve Sarkisian has done little to position himself among the best in his time as the Longhorns' head coach
“The path in which we’ve taken was not the chosen one,” Sarkisian said the past week at the Houston Touchdown Club. “Five-and-seven is 5-7. That sucks. I’ll call it like it is.”
Expectations aren't that Texas will improve from a season. The feel around the Forty Acres is that the Longhorns can reach new heights thanks to a top 10 recruiting class and new prospects from the transfer portal. Along with quarterback Quinn Ewers (Ohio State), Texas added cornerback Ryan Watt (Ohio State) tight end Jahleel Billingsley (Alabama) and receiver Isaiah Neyor (Wyoming).
Texas also is still in the running for reigning Biletnikoff winner Jordan Addison, who is leaving Pittsburgh after two years. Addison, expected to be the top receiver in the 2023 NFL Draft, is currently mulling over his options between USC and Texas and should announce a decision in the coming days.
Former Pitt receivers coach, Brennan Marion, was hired by Sarkisian this offseason. Addison also visited the program and met with the offensive staff earlier this month on campus.

Senate OKs overhaul of baby formula rules in aid program
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate approved a bill Thursday aimed at easing the baby formula shortage for families participating in a government assistance program that accounts for about half of all formula purchased in the United States.
The House passed the bill the day before, so it now goes to President Joe Biden to be signed into law.
Participants in a program known as WIC get vouchers that are redeemed for specific foods to supplement their diets. The vouchers usually can only be used to purchase one brand of infant formula, which encourages the manufacturer to offer big discounts to secure a state’s business.
The bill makes it possible in extenuating circumstances for the Department of Agriculture to waive certain requirements so that WIC participants can purchase whatever brand is available.
“Now, millions of parents will have an easier time finding the baby formula that they need,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said after the bill was passed.
Lawmakers are also considering boosting staffing at the Food and Drug Administration with a $28 emergency spending bill. That legislation also passed the House this week, but faces uncertain prospects in the Senate.
The baby formula shortage was caused by the safety-related closure of the country’s largest formula manufacturing plant. The head of the FDA told lawmakers Thursday that the factory could be up and running as soon as next week.

Mike Chioda and former WWE Smackdown General Manager Teddy Long used to “smizz” all the time.
During an AdFreeShows.com exclusive episode of the Monday Mailbag with Mike Chioda, the former WWE referee spoke about his friendship Teddy Long. Chioda relived the good times they had and how they use to “smizz” when they were on the road. “Smizz” is carnie-speak for “smoking weed”.
“I traveled with Teddy Long, we used to smizz up and down the road all the time,” Chioda said. “Let me tell you something about Teddy Long, we had a lot of fun on the road. We used to drive with each other to TVs every weekend for at least three to four years. I miss Teddy man, he’s just a great guy and he loved to smizz. We used to smizz, have a couple of drinks here and there and we used to hang out. He got me to go to the gym every day, he would do cardio every day for an hour, hour and 25 minutes. We used to sit in that steam room, Teddy Long was just a great guy man, he loves his family. He was just funny because he’d crack on people, we’d talk, discuss the business, and sh*t like that. God bless him because he wasn’t even that young when I was traveling with him. I spent a lot of time with Teddy Long, good friend, I’ve got to give him a call actually and see hows he doing.”
Speaking of smoking weed, Chioda has told several stories about getting smizzed on the road. Including his first time meeting Snoop Dogg at WrestleMania XXIV as well as a great story involving him, R-Truth, Rey Mysterio, the police, and a Starbucks drink.
Continuing to talk about the WWE Hall of Famer, Mike Chioda revealed Teddy’s frustration with not receiving a Legend’s deal after his induction in 2017.
“I just wish he would’ve went out a little stronger with WWE,” Chioda said. “They did induct him in the Hall of Fame. I remember talking to him for quite a while after that too and he was surprised they never gave him a Legends deal. They never gave him a Legends deal after the Hall of Fame and he thought he might have this Legend deal with WWE, make a little money but whatever. I hope he’s doing well.”
