Shares rebounded on Friday after China cut a key lending benchmark to support its economy, though a global equities gauge remained set for its longest weekly losing streak on record amid investor worries about slowing growth and high inflation. China cut its five-year loan prime rate (LPR) - which influences the pricing of mortgages - by 15 basis points on Friday morning, a sharper reduction than expected, as authorities seek to cushion the impact of an economic slowdown. It left the one-year LPR unchanged. At 0833 GMT, the pan-European STOXX 600 was up 1.2% and set for its first daily gain in three. The MSCI world equity index, which tracks shares in 50 countries, rose 0.5% but for the week was still shedding 1% and on track for its seventh consecutive weekly decline, its longest losing streak since its inception in 2001. It would also be the longest including back-tested data extending to January 1988. "Investors are obviously looking to do a bit of bargain-hunting, because some stocks look pretty cheap at the moment," said Nathan Sweeney, Deputy CIO of multi-asset at investment manager Marlborough. China's LPR cut "shows you not all central banks are trying to create an environment where the market sells off," he added. The gains in Europe and Asia came after a late Thursday rally on Wall Street petered out, leaving the Dow Jones Industrial Average down 0.75%, the S&P 500 0.58% lower and the Nasdaq Composite off by 0.26%. Euro zone bond yields were higher after two days of hefty falls as risk sentiment improved following China's rate cut. Germany's 10-year government bond yield was up 3 basis points (bps) at 0.969%, well below last week's eight-year high of 1.189%. Money markets are now pricing in 38 basis points of tightening from the European Central Bank by its July meeting. This suggests a 25 bps hike is fully priced in, and markets attach a roughly 52% probability of an additional 25 bps move. The U.S. 10-year yield was at 2.860%, up half a basis point from Thursday's close, and down from a top of 2.873% earlier on Friday. The two-year yield climbed 2 bps to 2.631% compared with a U.S. close of 2.611%. In currency markets, moves were relatively muted with the dollar little changed but still headed for its worst week since early February, after a 10%, 14-week surge. The dollar index, which measures the currency against six major rivals, was trading flat at 102.91. Gold prices were firmer and were set for their first weekly gain since mid-April as the dollar retreated. Spot gold was up 0.1% at $1,844 an ounce, having risen 1.4% to its highest level in a week on Thursday. Oil prices were lower as investors worried that weakening global economic growth and tighter central bank monetary policy could curb a recovery in fuel demand. Brent futures for July fell 31 cents, or 0.28%, to $111.73 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude for June fell 56 cents, or 0.5%, to $111.65 on its last front-month day. Bitcoin was flat at $30,295. Smaller rival Ether was up 0.6% at $2,030.

This story is part of a Recode series about Big Tech and antitrust. Over the last several weeks, we’ve covered what’s happening with Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, and Google. There’s a new Big Tech antitrust bill in town, and this one is especially painful for Google. A group of lawmakers led by Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) introduced the Competition and Transparency in Digital Advertising Act on Thursday. This bipartisan and bicameral legislation would forbid any company with more than $20 billion in digital advertising revenue — that’s Google and Meta, basically — from owning multiple parts of the digital advertising chain. Google would have to choose between being a buyer or a seller or running the ad exchange between the two. It currently owns all three parts, and has been dogged by allegations, which it denies, that it uses that power to unfairly manipulate that market to its own advantage. “This lack of competition in digital advertising means that monopoly rents are being imposed upon every website that is ad-supported and every company — small, medium, or large — that relies on internet advertising to grow its business,” Sen. Lee said in a statement. “It is essentially a tax on thousands of American businesses, and thus a tax on millions of American consumers.” Google said in a statement that this is “the wrong bill, at the wrong time, aimed at the wrong target,” and that its ad tools produce better quality ads and protect user privacy.rel You can add the new legislation to the growing pile of Google’s antitrust woes. While the media has given more attention to the antitrust issues of rivals Apple and Meta, Google is potentially in more trouble than any other Big Tech company. State and federal governments have filed four antitrust cases, all within a year of each other. In October 2020, the Department of Justice and 14 state attorneys general sued Google over alleged anti-competitive practices to maintain its search engine and search ad monopoly. That December, 38 other state attorneys general filed a separate, similar case. If you combine the two lawsuits, every state except Alabama, plus Puerto Rico, DC, and Guam, is suing Google over its search business. Last July, another 37 state attorneys general sued Google over the Google Play mobile app store. And another set of 17 attorneys general is suing Google over the ad business that Lee’s bill targets; that suit was filed just a day after the state AGs’ search case. There are also lawsuits from Epic Games and Match Group over Google’s app store and the possibility of more cases from the DOJ to come. Oh, and there’s also a wave of Big Tech-focused antitrust laws and regulations around the world to contend with. It’s too early to say how likely it is that Lee’s bill will go anywhere. But we do know that two bipartisan antitrust bills are very close to becoming law, likely by the end of the summer. Both of them would forbid Google from giving its own products preference on the platforms it owns and operates: The Open App Markets Act would force the Google Play app store to follow certain rules, while the American Innovation and Choice Online Act bans self-preferencing on platforms that Big Tech companies own and operate. Google wouldn’t be allowed to give its own products prominent placement in Google search results, for instance, unless those products organically earned that spot. This all speaks to Google’s ubiquity and power. What was once a humble search engine company has become so deeply ingrained in everything we do online that it’s difficult to imagine how the internet would function without it. But that power may have been obtained and maintained unfairly, in ways that have hurt competitors and consumers — even as many of Google’s products remain popular and free. It wasn’t always like this. Google was once seen as an industry-changing upstart that was a vast improvement over the slower and easily gamed search engines produced by Yahoo and AltaVista. Its motto was “Don’t be evil,” its algorithm returned better results, and it quickly became the market leader. Then it transformed the market again by putting ads on search results that were specific to what people were searching for — an idea the company got from a little-known and now-defunct search engine called GoTo. Google’s search ads were so successful that, even now, this business is Google’s biggest revenue generator. In 2021, search ads pulled in nearly $150 billion. That’s more than every other Google revenue source combined. Many attribute Google’s success in the ad business to its 2007 acquisition of DoubleClick for $3.1 billion. This merger was scrutinized by the Federal Trade Commission, but the agency ultimately approved it. (At least one of the commissioners who voted to approve the merger, William Kovacic, has said he regrets the decision in hindsight.) The FTC turned its gaze to Google again a few years later, in 2011, and opened an investigation into the company’s alleged anti-competitive behavior in search and ads. Though a leaked FTC staff report indicated that agency staffers felt the FTC had a case against Google, the commissioners chose not to pursue one, instead either getting agreements from Google to change some business practices or deciding that Google’s actions were justified because they improved Google’s services and its users’ experience in another. That decision has been blamed, in part, on the Obama administration’s good relationship with the company. You could also argue that the government has consistently underestimated just how big Google would become if left to grow unchecked. But Google isn’t the same company it was 10 years ago, nor is it viewed the same way. Its antitrust reckoning finally seems to be coming. What remains to be seen is just how bad it will be. How Google allegedly hurts competition For Luther Lowe, the senior vice president of public policy at Yelp and longtime Google critic, this moment is the culmination of over a decade of work trying to convince legislators and enforcers that Google has illegally entrenched its own power and profited by hurting companies like his. Lowe’s self-interest here should be obvious: His company found itself competing with Google when Google rolled out its own version of user-provided business reviews. Google puts its reviews at the top of its own search engine results, above Yelp’s organic results. “Yelp is a great example of the type of service that can be undermined when a gatekeeper chooses to put its hand on the scale,” Lowe told Recode. But, Lowe stresses, he isn’t the only person arguing that Google’s dominance makes it impossible for anyone else to compete. Google says it has competitors in all of its markets, but it also has the majority market share in most of them. Google wouldn’t provide its own numbers, but in search engines, it’s estimated to have about 90 percent of the global market. In web browsers, Google’s Chrome has about 65 percent. In mobile operating systems, Google’s Android has about 70 percent worldwide (in the United States, Android is just 40 percent, and Apple’s iOS has almost all of the rest). And, of course, there are Google’s other products, many of which lead in their own categories: YouTube, Gmail, and that display ad business. In the US, being a big and successful company and even having a monopoly isn’t illegal. It’s when that company starts using its dominance to hurt competition and consumers that you’re looking at antitrust violations. That’s what the lawsuits address and what the proposed antitrust bills are trying to ban. The lawsuit brought by the DOJ and 14 states as well as the one brought by 38 additional states and territories look at Google’s search engine monopoly. The DOJ’s case focuses on the “exclusionary agreements” Google allegedly made with other companies to keep its search engine dominant. Google isn’t just the default search engine on Chrome; it’s also the default on Apple’s Safari and Mozilla’s Firefox. But Apple and Mozilla didn’t necessarily pick Google because they think it’s the best search engine for their users. Google paid them to do it. The company is believed to pay billions every year to Apple and hundreds of millions to Mozilla for that default spot. That money is the vast majority of Mozilla’s funding, and a not-insignificant chunk of Apple’s profits, too. Google spends so much to be the default search engine because it makes so much more than that off the ads on its search results. Less directly, Google’s ability to know what so much of the internet is looking for all the time helps inform other parts of its business. After all, it is a company built on data. DuckDuckGo is a rival search engine that doesn’t collect user data — privacy is one of its selling points — but it has just a fraction of the market that Google does. That’s partly because, DuckDuckGo says, it’s hard for users to switch their browsers’ default engine, which is almost always Google. The ability to switch default search engines is usually buried in user settings, and it assumes the user even knows that switching is an option. “People don’t decide to use Google, that decision is made for them,” Kamyl Bazbaz, DuckDuckGo’s vice president of communications, said. “What’s best for Google is to keep people using Google so they can gather behavioral data, and use that data to keep people using Google in a vicious cycle that keeps users tethered to their products.” Then there’s the lawsuit targeting the Google Play Store. It’s similar to the accusations levied against Apple over its App Store, but while Apple has always only allowed one App Store on its own devices, Google’s Android devices permit alternate app stores and the ability to download apps directly from developers’ websites. But, the lawsuit claims, Google doesn’t make it easy for those alternatives. It pays off developers and manufacturers not to create or use alternate stores, and it pays or requires them to pre-load Google apps on the phones they sell. Devices that use Google’s version of Android must also come with the Play Store already loaded. Android devices even slap security warnings on apps downloaded outside of the Google Play store in order to discourage users from getting their apps from them. The result: 95 percent of Android apps in the US are downloaded from the Google Play Store, according to app intelligence firm Sensor Tower. That makes it almost as much of a monopoly on Android devices as Apple’s App Store is on Apple’s. Andy Yen, CEO of Proton Technologies AG, which makes the encrypted email service ProtonMail and other privacy-focused software, echoes many developers’ complaints about the Play Store. Yen says it’s “technically possible but practically impossible” to use an alternate app store, and argues that it would be “suicide” if Proton didn’t make its apps available in the Play Store. But going through the Play Store means Proton is using a platform owned by the same company that makes its biggest competitor: Gmail. Proton is also giving money to Google because the company forces apps in the Play Store to use its in-app payments system, which takes a 15-30 percent commission. Google has maintained that it allows for “more openness and choice” in app markets than other companies (Apple) and that it competes not only with Android app stores but with Apple’s, too. Google also points out that its app store commissions are about the same as those in other app stores. On top of the app lawsuit and the two search-focused lawsuits, Google is also being sued by a smaller group of state attorneys general over its digital ad and ad tech business. This suit basically targets Google’s display ad business — that is, everything outside of search and YouTube ads — which brought in more than $30 billion last year. Here’s how it works: When you open a website with ads on it, many of those ads probably come from digital ad platforms and exchanges, where advertisers bid to get their ads placed in front of the viewers most likely to engage with them, based on data that those advertisers or ad networks have on those viewers. The entire process takes fractions of a second, and then you’re seeing ads for the shoes you looked at on another site last week. The inner workings of the ad tech world are complicated and opaque, but the gist of the argument from the state attorneys general is that Google has the dominant digital ad business, with stakes in every part of the process — the entire ad tech stack. Establishing that dominance is why Google bought DoubleClick 15 years ago, and growing it is why the company has continued to acquire ad tech companies since. Google’s size and control, the suit alleges, make it impossible for anyone else to compete with the company’s ad tech business. Google says it has plenty of competition in a crowded field. But Amazon is the only competitor that owns every part of the ad tech stack like Google does, and no one else has the large market share in those parts (estimates range from 90 percent of the publisher ad server market to 50 percent in the supply-side platform market) that Google does. They also don’t have access to the amount of data on users Google has across its properties that makes ads more effective and valuable. “There are other options, but those other options are typically going to offer even less to either end, the publisher or advertiser, in terms of net value,” Fiona Scott Morton, a professor of economics at Yale, explained. Scott Morton, a former DOJ antitrust official who has studied Google’s ad business and its alleged monopolization of the market, also works as an antitrust consultant for Amazon and Apple. But it’s not just ad tech competitors who allegedly suffer here. The advertisers and the publishers suffer, too, if Google is manipulating the market. Google’s dominance also lets it profit from the ads its services buy and sell, with little transparency to anyone about how much that take is. That’s been especially bad for media companies that rely on ads to fund their work. Google says it charges less or equal to the industry average and that it has plenty of competition, and notes that, industry-wise, ad prices and fees have declined over the years. But Scott Morton says that doesn’t take into account what the landscape could look like if Google wasn’t so dominant in all parts of it. “Would the digital ad world be better in terms of output and price and quality and innovation if there were two or three firms trying to place digital ads?” she said. “I think the answer to that is a clear ‘yes.’” How Google may hurt consumers So, how does any of this hurt you, the consumer? After all, many of Google’s products are free, so it isn’t as though the lack of competition is increasing their price. Odds are, you regularly use at least one of Google’s many services, and you probably like it. But there could be a lot of things you aren’t getting. Google became the most popular search engine because its creators figured out a way to return better and faster results than the competition. We don’t know if Apple could make a better search engine because Google is paying Apple billions of dollars not to, and we don’t know if Google’s search wouldn’t be even better if it had some real competition (despite Microsoft’s efforts, Bing’s share of the search engine market remains very small: just about 3 percent worldwide). As Google’s search dominance grew, the company also changed its results page from a simple list of links designed to get users away from its platform as quickly as possible, to keeping them on its platform for as long as possible. That’s why, over the years, search results have changed from a list of links with a few ads at the top to a website populated with Google’s own offerings. As a 2020 report from the Markup showed, it’s become harder and harder to find organic search results on Google because so much of Google’s own stuff, including its search ads, may take up all the real estate. (Google says the Markup’s report is “flawed and misleading” and based on a “non-representative sample of searches.”) Google says these extra features make its search results better. But if Google’s own offerings aren’t as good as the organic results — as the Markup says they sometimes aren’t — then Google is using its power to push you toward an inferior product. You’re getting the best results for Google, but they may not be the best results for you. You may also be spending more on apps through Google’s Play Store, since apps are required to use Google’s in-app payment system and pay Google a generous cut. Companies have to make that up somehow — maybe that’ll come from you. “It’s essentially a tax on the internet,” Yen, of Proton, said. “These costs get transferred to consumers because unless you have a 30 percent profit margin, you’re going to have to pass on some of these costs. … Users are going to have to get hit with higher prices as a result.” Those increased costs may apply to digital ads, too. “If the advertiser is paying more than a competitive price, it’s paying a monopoly price to get those ads, then the consumer at the end of the day is bearing the cost,” Scott Morton said. “They’re going to be built into the price of the product.” And if Google is taking a supracompetitive cut of digital ad sales, that means the website those ads are on is getting less for them than it otherwise would have. If the website is providing free content, it can’t charge users more to make up for the loss. Instead, it will just have less money to spend on the content itself — which could lead to lower-quality products. How Google could emerge relatively unscathed Google has never faced as much of a threat to its business model and structure as it does today. But lawsuits, especially big antitrust lawsuits, take years to resolve, and it’s never certain they’ll go the government’s way. The DOJ’s case was filed in fall 2020, and it isn’t expected to go to trial until the fall of 2023. And that may proceed without the DOJ’s antitrust head, Jonathan Kanter, because he has represented some of Google’s rivals in the past and may have to recuse himself from this case. Could all those state attorneys general and the DOJ be wrong about Google? Adam Kovacevich, who was Google’s US head of public policy communications during the FTC investigation, thinks the search lawsuits have no better chance of success now than the FTC would have back in 2013 when it chose not to pursue a case against Google over preferencing its properties over those of competing, specialized search companies like Yelp. The FTC “acknowledged, frankly, the legal difficulties they would run into if they tried to make the case — which are still true today,” Kovacevich said. To him, the fact that some members of Congress now feel the need to pass new laws targeting some of those issues indicates that Google hasn’t done anything that violates the existing laws. The bipartisan antitrust bills introduced last summer could be a quicker route to change, though they won’t have as much of an impact on Google’s business model as an unfavorable outcome of a lawsuit would. Kovacevich isn’t a fan of those bills either, by the way. He’s now the CEO of the Chamber of Progress, a tech industry coalition that describes itself as “center-left” and is funded by tech companies, including Google, that would be negatively affected should the bills pass (Kovacevich wouldn’t say how much funding Google provides). He and the Chamber of Progress have been speaking out against the bills since they were introduced, claiming they would forbid companies from offering certain services or force them to introduce security issues to their devices. But Yen, of Proton, and Lowe, of Yelp, say they think the bills will go a long way toward making the playing field more fair. “I don’t think I’ll ever see an opportunity again, in my career, to have a legislative response to Big Tech’s overreaching,” Lowe said.

A group of university friends will attempt to break the record for cycling the length of the UK on a conference bike while raising thousands of pounds for a cancer charity. The team, nicknamed ‘Magnificent Seven’, will ride from John O’Groats to Land’s End on a seven-seater bike, aiming to do so between May 22 and May 28. They aim to raise £50,000 for Cyclists Fighting Cancer – a national children’s charity which provides lightweight bikes, tandems and adapted trikes – in the process. One of the riders is Jeff Kapp, who was diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma in 2008 and said he cycled throughout his treatment. “As an ex-elite cyclist there was no way I was going to follow the stock ‘rest and take it easy’ advice,” he said. “I kept riding all the way through my cancer treatment and I am confident that I came through the other side in a much better way thanks to the exercise. “Cancer is tough on adults, but so much tougher on kids, so supporting (Cyclists Fighting Cancer) was a natural thing for me to do.” The group will meet the challenge by riding a 200kg seven-seated bike which averages six miles per hour – six riders will pedal while another steers. They will do so with 14 core riders – the current record for the distance stands at 28 days, which the ‘Magnificent Seven’ hope to break by three weeks. Mike Grisenthwaite, founder and CEO at Cyclists Fighting Cancer, said: “We are honoured that team ‘Magnificent Seven’ have chosen to support Cyclists Fighting Cancer in their Guinness World Record attempt. “John O’Groats to Land’s End is an iconic long-distance cycle ride – and a tough endurance ride even on a standard bike, but it’s an even bigger challenge on a seven-seater conference bike weighing in at 200kg! “Their wonderful fundraising effort will allow Cyclists Fighting Cancer to support more children and young people living with and beyond cancer across the UK.” To find out more about the group’s record attempt, visit www.justgiving.com/fundraising/JOGLEbyConferenceBike.

Apple supplier BOE is waiting for approval from Apple to begin manufacturing OLED panels for the soon-to-arrive iPhone 14 series. A discovery shows that the company was making design changes before receiving approval from Apple. BOE Changes OLED Panel, Apple Changes Suppliers Apple cut the Chinese display manufacturer out of the iPhone 13 supply chain earlier in the month. This is after Cupertino found BOE changing the design of the iPhone’s OLED panels. The manufacturer was expanding the circuit width of thin-film transistors. BOE likely made the decision in an effort to increase the yield rate, according to sources from The Elec. However, once Apple was made aware of the decision, BOE received instructions to immediately halt production. Now, as a result, BOE is said to not receive any new orders from Cupertino for OLED panels for the iPhone 14. Latest reports claim that BOE had made a visit to Cupertino to offer an explanation concerning the circuit design changes, though the explanation seems to have not gone well with the tech giant. Now, Apple is likely considering relinquishing the order meant for BOE to Samsung and LG. BOE stated that they sent a C-level executive along with additional employees to Apple’s headquarters after the incident to explain why the transistor change occurred. The company stated that they were hoping for Apple to approve the decision, yet was not given a clear response back. Apple Ordering Elsewhere For the iPhone 14 series, Apple is looking for over 150 million OLED panels. This is up from the 140 million the company originally was expecting to order. At the earliest, next month is when display panels makers will most likely begin production. Samsung is likely to manufacture panels for the 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Pro models. On the flip side, LG is likely to produce the panels for the 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Pro Max. BOE has manufactured OLED panels for the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 at two different factories in China, which accounts for around 10 percent of all iPhone displays in 2021. However, the company was looking to significantly expand its operations. The company made plans to overtake LG Display as one of Apple’s largest suppliers of iPhone displays in 2023.

SEATTLE (AP) — The Seattle Storm announced plans Friday to build a practice facility and training center for the franchise that will house the team’s basketball and business operations. The facility will sit on a 50,000-square-foot parcel and include two practice courts along with locker rooms, a lounge and a nutrition center for players, and strength and conditioning training spaces. Construction is scheduled to begin next spring and completion is expected ahead of the training camp for the 2024 WNBA season. The cost of the project was not released. “This facility reflects our franchise legacy, our athletes’ success, and aims to promote and grow the women’s game and expand youth access to play,” Storm co-owner Lisa Brummel said. The team said 85% of the workers on the project are women. The Storm shared a practice facility with the Seattle SuperSonics when the team joined the WNBA in 2000. The team has used space at Seattle Pacific University for basketball activities since 2008, when the Sonics franchise was relocated to Oklahoma City, but business operations have been housed elsewhere. ___ More AP sports: https://apnews.com/hub/sports and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports

Education is No Sport Submitted by Paula Sealy “This committee has been given a mandate for the next six months to work assiduously to bring the policy on persons with disabilities so that we can also approve the legislation. We have a draft legislation now that over the next six months it is to be fine-tuned to get the legislation right,” Minister of People Empowerment and Elder Affairs, Kirk Humphrey said. This was a public statement of the direction of the committee to investigate the needs of the disabled community. What direction guides the Education Reform Unit headed by Dr. Idamay Denny? What is the mandate of the unit? Is there a timeline for a green paper to be prepared for discussion with the general public? The committee led by MP Hinkson has objectives that were already shared with the public. It is almost three years since we were told the 11+ will be abolished as part of the education reform. What has the Ministry of Education been doing since then? Making sport?

NCLC Tells FCC “Callers can easily avoid making calls to telephone numbers that have been reassigned….” – But Is it That Simple? The National Consumer Law Center is at it again. In response to the Department of Health and Human Services’ recent letter to the FCC seeking clarity on whether the TCPA applies to texts it would like to make to alert Americans of certain medical benefits, the NCLC–an organization that nominally represents consumers, but really seems to represent the interests of the plaintiff’s bar–has filed a comment. Unsurprisingly, the NCLC takes the position that HHS needs no relief. Government contractors are covered by the TCPA–it says–but the texts at issue in HHS’ letter are consented, so they’re fine. (Although it later clarifies that only “many” but not “all” of the enrollees whom HHS wishes to call have “probably” given their telephone numbers as part of written enrollment agreements–so perhaps not.) Hmmmm. Feels like a trap. But we’ll ignore that for now. The critical piece here though is what the NCLC–very powerful voice, for better or (often) worse–is telling the FCC about the effectiveness of the new Reassigned Number Database: 3. Callers can easily avoid making calls to telephone numbers that have been reassigned to someone other than the enrollee A primary source of TCPA litigation risk has been calls inadvertently made to numbers that are no longer assigned to the person who provided consent. Courts have held the caller liable for making automated calls to a cell phone number that has been reassigned to someone other than the person who provided consent to be called.29 The Commission has implemented the Reassigned Number Database specifically to address that risk of liability, as well as to limit the number of unwanted robocalls: The FCC’s Reassigned Numbers Database (RND) is designed to prevent a consumer from getting unwanted calls intended for someone who previously held their phone number. Callers can use the database to determine whether a telephone number may have been reassigned so they can avoid calling consumers who do not want to receive the calls. Callers that use the database can also reduce their potential Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) liability by avoiding inadvertent calls to consumers who have not given consent for the call.31 The database has been fully operational since November 1, 2021. It provides a means for callers to find out before making a call if the phone number has been reassigned. If the database wrongly indicates that the number has not been reassigned, so long as the caller has used the database correctly, no TCPA liability will apply for reaching the wrong party. 32 Thus, as long as HHS’s callers make use of this simple, readily available database, they can be confident that they will not be held liable for making calls to reassigned numbers. While I steadfastly support both the creation and use of the RND, it also must be observed that there are myriad problems with the RND as it currently exists. Most importantly, the data sets in the RND are only comprehensive through October 1, 2021 and spotty back to February, 2021 (beyond which there are no records!) So for folks like HHS–and servicers of mortgages, and retailers, and credit card companies–who want to reach customers who provided their contact information before 10/2021 or 2/2021 the RND is simply not helpful. The NCLC’s over simplification of a critical issue is not surprising. They once told Congress that the TCPA is “Straightforward and Clear” after all. Full comment here: NCLC Comments-c3 We’ll keep an eye on developments on HHS’ letter and all the FCC goings ons.

PARIS (AP) — The ATP men’s professional tennis tour will not award ranking points for Wimbledon this year because of the All England Club’s ban on players from Russia and Belarus over the invasion of Ukraine. The ATP announced its decision Friday night, two days before the start of the French Open -- and a little more than a month before play begins at Wimbledon on June 27. The All England Club said in April it would not allow Russians or Belarusians to compete at the Grand Slam grass-court tournament. Russian athletes have been prevented from competing in many sports, including soccer’s World Cup qualifying playoffs, since the country began attacking Ukraine in February. Belarus has aided Russia in the invasion. “The ability for players of any nationality to enter tournaments based on merit, and without discrimination, is fundamental to our tour,” the ATP said in a statement. “The decision by Wimbledon to ban Russian and Belarusian players from competing in the U.K. this summer undermines this principle and the integrity of the ATP ranking system.” Saying it made this move “with great regret and reluctance,” the ATP added: “Our rules and agreements exist in order to protect the rights of players as a whole. Unilateral decisions of this nature, if unaddressed, set a damaging precedent for the rest of the tour. Discrimination by individual tournaments is simply not viable on a tour that operates in more than 30 countries.” Soon after news of the ATP’s response emerged, the International Tennis Federation said that it would not grant its ranking points for the junior and wheelchair events at Wimbledon this year, explaining that “tournament organizers are not permitted to unilaterally impose entry criteria.” Among the prominent players affected by the Wimbledon ban are reigning U.S. Open champion Daniil Medvedev, who recently reached No. 1 in the rankings and is currently No. 2; men's No. 7 Andrey Rublev; women's No. 7 Aryna Sabalenka, a Wimbledon semifinalist last year; and Victoria Azarenka, a former No. 1 who has won the Australian Open twice. Medvedev and Rublev are from Russia; Sabalenka and Azarenka are from Belarus. ___ More AP sports: https://apnews.com/hub/sports and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports

Veteran Miami DEA agents charged in bribery conspiracy (AP) - A current U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agent and a former supervisor in the agency were charged Friday with leaking confidential law enforcement information to defense lawyers in Florida in exchange for cash and gifts. A five-count bribery-conspiracy indictment unsealed in New York charges the agent, John Costanzo Jr., with accepting bribes to provide sensitive information about pending investigations to Manny Recio, a former Miami supervisor who retired from DEA more than two years ago to work as a private investigator for local defense attorneys. Federal prosecutors allege Recio sought the information to help recruit new clients. “The conduct alleged in the indictment violates the core duty of law enforcement officers to protect and serve the public, rather than to use their access to sensitive information to enrich themselves,” Manhattan U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said in a statement. The DEA and an attorney for Recio did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Costanzo’s attorney, Marc L. Mukasey, said in an email that “the theory of this case is misguided and he will be vindicated.” In interviews with FBI agents in 2019, Costanzo and Recio both denied ever exchanging anything of value as part of the alleged scheme. Such actions would have been a flagrant violation of the DEA’s standards of conduct. The charges are the latest black eye for the DEA, which has been beset by repeated misconduct scandals that have landed a growing list of former agents behind bars. Just last week, another former DEA agent in Arkansas was sentenced to more than 11 years in prison for taking thousands of dollars in bribes from a drug trafficker. The latest charges have also sent a chill through South Florida’s close-knit, fiercely competitive narco-defense circles because of Recio’s strong ties to federal law enforcement and private-sector lawyers. The charges stemmed from a long-running federal investigation by the FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, which more than two years ago took the unusual step of wiretapping Recio as part of an inquiry into the flow of information between the DEA and Miami lawyers representing narcotraffickers and money launderers from Colombia. The FBI wiretapped Recio for at least three months while he worked in his post-retirement job as a private investigator for defense lawyers. As part of the shady dealings, he at one point wrote a $2,500 check to a company co-owned by an unnamed member of Costanzo’s family, according to court documents. The payment appears to have been used by Costanzo to repair a Porsche he owned, according to an email exchange about the vehicle between the DEA agent and an unnamed defense attorney Recio was working with as a private investigator. In 2019, the same family member received $50,000 from a company owned by a local Florida police detective. The funds were used by Costanzo for a down payment on a condominium, according to the indictment. Recio’s defense attorney, Phil Reizenstein, previously told AP that Recio’s work on cases had been “impeccable.” “I have no concerns that he did anything that was close to being illegal,” he said at the time. “He devoted his career to the DEA. He has held himself to the highest standards and the same law-abiding ideals in his private work.” Recio finished his more than two decades with the DEA as an assistant special agent in charge of the DEA’s Miami field division, specializing in cases involving illicit finances. Immediately after retiring, he launched a Miami-based business called Global Legal Consulting, which according to its website provides private investigations, anti-money laundering solutions and other legal services. Recio once supervised highly-sensitive money laundering investigations involving Jose Irizarry, a former standout DEA agent in the Miami office who was sentenced in December to more than 12 years in federal prison for conspiring to launder money with a Colombian cartel and using badge to build a lavish lifestyle of expensive cars, parties on yachts and Tiffany jewelry. Before being locked away, Irizarry blamed the DEA for fostering a culture of corruption and gift taking that he said desensitized him to the implications of violating the law. ___ Goodman reported from Cleveland, Mustian from New Orleans.

Around-the-clock work has restored power to almost all the people affected by Wednesday’s unseasonable windstorm on Vancouver Island. According to an 8:30 a.m. Friday update from BC Hydro, the South Island region was down to 45 outages affecting just over 500 customers. BC Hydro spokesman Ted Olynyk said the storm was a very significant weather event that impacted customers on eastern Vancouver Island, from Saanich in the south to Parksville in the north. Derek Lee, Environment Canada meteorologist, said winds reached a peak of 72 kilometres an hour in Nanaimo at noon on Wednesday, May 18. He referred to the event as an “unseasonably strong low-pressure system” that brought the winds and said these types of systems are more common during the winter. “It’s not impossible because it happens, but definitely the winds along the inner Georgia Strait were more southeasterly and that is a favourable direction for higher wind speeds…” said Lee. “It was southeasterly for a bit and then as a cold front moved into the area, things became more southwesterly, so we did have a prolonged period of wind.” Olynyk echoed Lee’s sentiments, stating such winds are usually seen in the fall, which made conditions challenging. “When we get stuff like this in the fall, it usually happens when trees are bare [with] no foliage … and the ground, in a lot of areas is still quite saturated. So all those factors make it a lot easier for trees to come over,” he said. “Add to that the extreme events we’ve had the last year or so put a lot of stress on vegetation, especially the heat dome.” Chemainus, other parts of North Cowichan, the neighbouring Gulf Islands, Saltair and Duncan were among the hardest hit areas by Wednesday’s wicked storm. Hundreds of trees were blown down or fell onto power lines and thousands of residents were without power for an extended time, lasting into Thursday morning and beyond in some cases. BC Hydro crews were hard-pressed to gain access to some areas to restore power due to the considerable debris from trees. Two people got trapped when hydro lines came down on their vehicle on Chemainus Road. At least three cars were crushed in Duncan after a tree came down on a parking area on Duncan Street, and a tree came down on a home in Cobble Hill, damaging the roof. One aluminum roof was partly uprooted from a building at the Paulcan Enterprises sawmill Many residents nervously watched the trees surrounding their properties as they bent and, in some cases, broke and fell to the ground. “It was unbelievable actually,” said Chemainus resident Craig Spence. Other Island areas seeing strong winds, said Lee, were Victoria’s harbour at 78km/h and Victoria airport at 81 km/h, Tofino at 70km/h and 93 km/h at Race Rocks. The fiercest winds were at Herbert Island, near northern Vancouver Island, with winds of 111km/h. In total, he said there were approximately 17,000 power outages on the Island as a result of the storm, with about 5,600 of those between Nanaimo and Duncan. Olynyk said work crews were sent to the region from other areas of the Island that were less affected by the storm, including crews from Courtenay, Campbell River, Port Alberni and even Vancouver, which also saw significant damage but was able to spare a few crews to help out in areas like the south-east coast of the Island that were more impacted. — with files from Robert Barron and Black Press Media RELATED: 100-foot tree falls onto house in Cobble Hill during windstorm RELATED: Windstorm causes trees to topple onto house in Nanaimo robert.barron@cowichanvalleycitizen.com Like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter

Limerick's Conor Boylan is tackled by Diarmuid Ryan, of Clare, during the drawn Munster senior hurling championship round robin fixture at Cusack Park, Ennis on Sunday I WOULD love to start by talking about the atmosphere and what an occasion it was in Cusack Park in Ennis on Sunday, but that would only be me telling lies. I was based above in Donnybrook in the RTE studios alongside Davy Fitzgerald. As I hit off around 10.30 in the morning, sun splitting the rocks, I nearly wanted the car to get a fit of reversing and end up in Ennis. It was obviously going to be a sell-out, and I knew there would be an incredible atmosphere. It looked like the old times. And by that I mean the games of the 90’s, as if everything was on the line for both sides. The first half of hurling was as good a 35 minutes as I have seen for a while. Limerick knew they were already in a Munster final, and Clare knew they were qualified, so either team could have been given a mulligan for a lacklustre performance. It was everything but that. Players gave it everything, put their bodies on the line, and fought for every ball as if it was their last. There huge hits, battling, passion, all that you would expect to see between two rivals, but at times for some unknown reason that can go missing. Early on, it was all about Tony Kelly. He gave some display it has to be said. So, no doubt the question has to be asked, what would you do with Tony Kelly in the Munster final? I know this might sound daft, and people will probably laugh at it, but I wouldn’t change a whole lot. I would have full belief in the Limerick team that whoever marks him when he comes to that position can cope, while getting other bodies around him when he gains possession. Yes, they didn’t cope on Sunday, but I think with a bigger emphasis in training over the next three weeks, could make a huge difference. I think you just accept that he is going to score three to four points from play in each game anyway. But I wouldn’t be changing around my whole team for the sake of one player. At times on Sunday, there was too much space been left in front of him, which can be worked on, and at times he was let get the ball and then try dispossess which is dangerous, and that can also be worked out. Also, Limerick don’t really have an out and out man marker who can cover all six positions. If Hurler of the Year was to be given out today, I would imagine there is only one contender. Diarmaid Byrnes has taken his game to a whole new level. At times, when Limerick were struggling over the last few games, he has been the player who has kept them in it. Clawing balls, his accuracy from both dead balls and open play, has been incredible. In terms of the game on Sunday, it was similar to the earlier Waterford game in the Gaelic Grounds in terms of physicality. Would anyone have said at the start of the year that Clare would match Limerick physically? I don’t think so. Right now, they look like the top two teams in the country. When the game came down the home straight, I hadn’t a clue which way it was going to go. I thought Limerick were getting on top before ‘Hego’ was given the road. Listen, my view is the same as everyone else. I'm annoyed by it, it's not good enough, and actually it's disappointing how the officials dealt with it. Because it was Gearoid, they presumed, in my opinion, something had happened. The umpires either saw something or they didn’t, it takes five seconds to given an answer. Anyway, not good enough, and like players when they have an off day, they may struggle and I'm sure that’s how it works for referees too. And might I add, I have a great relationship with referees, and it's easy afterwards when you have five different angles, slow mo’s etc. In my view, guesswork, and booking lads because of past history, simply, is not good enough. All roads leads to Thurles in three weeks now. If John Kiely's statement is correct, then Cian Lynch won't make a Munster final. Cathal O'Neill and Aaron Gillane should be back, which would be a huge addition. You would think, with them boys back, and out of Ennis into a neutral ground, that should be worth a number of points. Who will Clare have back? I have no idea. Either way, it makes for a great final, and the first time both sides have met in a Munster final since 1996, and we all remember what happened then. Well, I don’t, I was three years of age! But it was a legendary final, with legendary moments. Let's hope the three-year-olds of today will have moments to look back on in time to come when they look back on this year's encounter.

Margot Robbie is set to star in a new Ocean's movie, with filming hoping to start in 2023. Robbie will star in an unknown role, and also produce the heist comedy alongside her husband Tom Ackerley, according to The Hollywood Reporter. She will also reunite with director Jay Roach after they previously worked together on 2019 drama Bombshell, for which she received a best supporting actress Oscar nomination. Roach also directed the hugely popular Meet The Parents and Austin Powers movie series, so a big-hitting comedy caper is right in his wheelhouse. Meanwhile, Robbie is well known for her whimsical turns as Harley Quinn in the likes of Birds of Prey and The Suicide Squad. While plot details are being kept tightly under wraps for now, the new Ocean's movie is reported to be an original story set across Europe in the 1960s – so expect dazzling locations and plenty of style. The iconic Ocean's franchise, which itself began as a remake of '60s Rat Pack movie Ocean's 11, sticks to a familiar pattern of witty hijinks and robbery. There were three outings featuring stars such as George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Don Cheadle and Matt Damon, released between 2001 and 2007. Then in 2018, Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Helena Bonham Carter and Rihanna took the baton with the female-centric Ocean's 8, set at the famous Met Gala. This new Ocean's movie is still in the early stages, but insiders say the team aims to start production on it in spring 2023. Robbie will be busy in the meantime, with her currently filming the much-anticipated Barbie movie, which will be out in July 2023. She plays the title character, with Ryan Gosling as Ken and a cast of big supporting stars – Will Ferrell, Issa Rae, Doctor Who's Ncuti Gatwa, SNL favourite Kate McKinnon and Shang-Chi's Simu Liu, among others. She's also wrapped filming on Amsterdam, a 1930s-set drama in which three friends witness a murder but then find themselves accused of it. The movie also stars Christian Bale, John David Washington, Mike Myers, Anya Taylor-Joy and Zoe Saldana and is due for release on November 4.

After the Brexit transition procedure, the UK government has announced that in addition to the United Kingdom’s post-Brexit departure from European Union (EU) rules, it will also establish its own common agriculture policy and trade policies, among other things. One of the fields to experience changes happened to be the CBD market. Recent Developments A warning issued by drug advisers has revealed that many cannabidiol (CBD) products currently sold in stores contain trace amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the substance in cannabis responsible for a euphoric high (you can read more about CBD and THC at AskGrowers). The government stated it would amend an existing law to require the monitoring of THC levels in CBD products in order to prevent consumers from being exposed to high levels of the substance. The government also said it would act on a recommendation to introduce a legal limit of 50 milligrams of THC per product, which it said would fall in line with other countries’ legal limits for acceptable levels of the active ingredient per serving in edibles. Industry representatives claim that the government’s proposed limit on THC content will hurt the competitiveness of the UK market since the suggested limit is too low in comparison to what it is in other countries. In recent years, since the middle of the 2010s, the CBD industry has grown significantly in the United Kingdom, with a wide variety of health products now available at pharmacies across the country. Despite its potential for growth and early estimations that it will be worth £1bn to the UK economy by 2025, the industry has been slow to embrace regulation. Complications Unfolding The situation became more complicated when the Food Standards Agency (FSA) said in December that none of the edible products containing CBD it had tested had been authorized for sale. In December 2021, the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) provided research and analysis on the Consumer cannabidiol (CBD) products report. According to the latter mentioned, the Working Group concluded that it was unlikely for consumer CBD products to contain sufficient controlled phytocannabinoids apart from ∆9-THC to produce any psychoactive effects unless the manufacturer added them purposefully. The ACMD, however, recommended a limit to the concentration of THC that may be present in any given CBD product. According to the recommendation, a single serving should contain no more than 50 micrograms of THC. The new regulation also called on the government to require cannabis manufacturers to isolate CBD and other non-psychoactive cannabinoids from the rest of the marijuana plant during the production process. The government responded that it was aware that extracting cannabidiol alone without tetrahydrocannabinol can be challenging but would respond to the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs’ recommendation. ‘The Benefits Of Brexit’ In the meantime, the Cannabis Industry Council, an advocacy group of the industry body, said it was concerned that the ACMD’s proposed regulations may put economic discovery ahead of safety. The CIC’s chairman Professor Mike Barnes stated: ‘Despite having a reputation as a globally dominant medicinal cannabis producer, the UK is almost entirely unable to cater to the needs of domestic patients.’ Barnes attributed this to a complicated governmental bureaucracy, a lack of medical education, and other regulatory bodies such as NICE. Besides, the CIC’s spokesman added that many cannabis consumers prefer full-spectrum products because they want to experience the full range of cannabinoids found in cannabis plants. The council said it conducted market research which showed that 97% of consumers had never experienced negative side effects from CBD products without a THC limit. The statement followed by being said that the proposed limits would harm ‘the ability of UK farmers and producers to compete with imported Chinese isolated CBD, further reducing the growth potential of UK businesses.’ The British government has packaged its plan to change the law with its plan to remove many European Union regulations in a policy paper The Benefits Of Brexit. The paragraph ‘Taking steps to strengthen the consumer Cannabidiol (CBD) market,’ states that the government plans to respond to the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs’ recommendations. It will set out how the authorities will make legal changes to allow trace-testing of CBD in consumer products to check the level of CBD remaining in the products. It also states that the requirement for products to be proven safe will give a competitive advantage to companies producing safe products and will banish companies with dangerous products from this market. Compliance Issues Following new regulations, the Food Standards Agency says it is working to regulate the consumption of CBD by confirming a list of products that are closer to being authorized. The FSA is asking local authorities and the food industry to help get CBD products into compliance by removing all of the non-compliant products from their sale. The FSA will continue to update its public list, first published on the 9th of May, 2022, as more manufacturers meet the new standards. Because CBD products are ‘novel’ — that is, they contain compounds that are not found in foods or medicines previously on the market — the Food Standards Agency must ensure their safety before these products can be sold in the UK. Emily Miles, Chief Executive of the FSA, said: ‘We have taken the step of publishing the list so that local authorities, retailers, and consumers can make informed judgments about what they stock and buy, as we gradually bring this growing market into compliance with the law.’ Conclusion The UK CBD market has been booming in recent years. With the UK being one of the pioneers in the legalization of cannabis and its derivatives, this market is expected to grow even more. However, with the new regulations that have been introduced in the post-Brexit era, will this market continue to thrive? It seems that these new regulations could be detrimental to many businesses involved in the industry. CBD manufacturers and retailers fear that this will make their business less competitive than before. However, it seems that despite these new changes, most companies will still find ways around them by adopting innovative marketing strategies and offering better customer service than their competitors do.

Man arrested after assaulting Little League umpires at baseball game, police say PISGAH, Ala. (WAFF/Gray News) – An Alabama man was arrested after an altercation at a baseball field Thursday evening involving at least two Little League umpires. According to Chief Deputy Rocky Harnen of the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, two deputies were called to a baseball field in Pisgah on May 19 in response to verbal arguments between parents and officials during a Little League game. Harnen said the arguments appeared to be over by the time deputies arrived at the field. As one of the deputies was leaving the scene, he witnessed a person in a physical altercation with a group in another part of the parking lot. The group allegedly being assaulted included two umpires from the Little League game. Jonathan Henderson, 43, was taken into custody and charged with two counts of second-degree assault on a sports official. Deputies said the altercation resulted in minor injuries, but no emergency services were required at the field. Henderson was released on a $5,000 bond. Copyright 2022 WAFF via Gray Media Group, Inc.

PR Newswire GREENSBURG, Pa., May 10, 2022 Projects designed to enhance electric service reliability for 15,000 customers GREENSBURG, Pa., May 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- West Penn Power, a subsidiary of FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE: FE), is upgrading its distribution system in Butler County to help prevent lengthy service interruptions, particularly during severe weather. The work includes replacing worn equipment, repairing underground electric lines and placing hundreds of protective devices on numerous power lines. "Together, these projects are designed to help reduce both the number and duration of power outages for about 15,000 customers," said Scott Wyman, president of FirstEnergy's Pennsylvania operations. "Since 2016, we have invested more than $100 million to accelerate improvements to the distribution system that powers homes and businesses across West Penn Power's service area." Crews will conduct visual inspections – both on foot and with drones – along a 13-mile stretch of a power line that serves more than 1,800 customers in the Portersville and Slippery Rock areas. The inspections will help identify cross arms, fuses and other components in need of repair or replacement to improve the line's performance, particularly during storms. Work is also continuing in downtown Butler City through June to convert a section of power line near Center Avenue from 4-kilovolts (kV) to 12-kV, which will result in more uniform voltage for 140 customers in the city. Because the overhead transformers on a 12-kV system are larger, crews must replace some of the existing utility poles with bigger poles to accommodate the new equipment. Contractors will place about 300 new fuses on 16 power lines serving 13,000 customers located around Butler City and south along the Route 8 corridor headed toward Pittsburgh. Fuses are protective devices that automatically open when they detect a system irregularity, such as a tree branch or animal contacting a power line. Fuses safeguard electrical equipment from damage while limiting the scope of outages to smaller sections of a power line. This results in fewer customers impacted by outages caused by trees, vehicle accidents or equipment issues. Lastly, an electrical contractor will repair about one mile of aging underground power lines in the Dutchtown Village neighborhood near the main campus of Butler County Community College. Over time, water and corrosive soil materials can penetrate underground wire through tiny cracks and fissures, causing power outages. Using a special process to restore the cable while minimizing excavation of lawns, driveways and roads, technicians will inject the power line with a silicone-based fluid that should prolong its useful life by 20 or 30 years. This method fills in cracks and spaces in the insulation encasing the wire, allowing the line to provide continued reliable electric service for a fraction of what it would cost to replace it. The work is slated for July and is expected to benefit more than 70 customers. The upgrades are part of West Penn Power's Long Term Infrastructure Improvement Plan, a $147 million initiative to accelerate capital investments to the company's electric distribution system over five years to help ensure continued electric service reliability for customers. This work complements additional work in Butler County by West Penn Power's sister utility, Penn Power, to support the future energy demands of the area's rapidly growing population and to help prevent lengthy power outages during severe weather. Work underway includes construction of a new 8,000-square-foot distribution substation in Cranberry Township and installation of automated equipment and technology in substations and along power lines serving more than 20,000 customers in parts of Cranberry, Mars, Evans City, Jackson Township and nearby areas. West Penn Power serves approximately 725,000 customers in 24 counties within central and southwestern Pennsylvania.

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate TULSA, Okla. (AP) — One last birdie in a strong Oklahoma wind gave Justin Thomas another 3-under 67 and set a daunting target for Rory McIlroy and everyone else Friday in the PGA Championship. Trees were swaying and flags were whipping from the opening tee shot, and rounds in the 60s were scarce at Southern Hills. That didn't stop Thomas, who leaned on creativity with the shape of his shots, even on the putting green. He dropped only one shot from a bunker on the par-3 14th and finished his solid round with a 10-foot birdie putt. That put him at 6-under 134, one shot ahead of Rory McIlroy, who was making his way to the first tee shortly after Thomas finished. McIlroy and Tiger Woods faced what typically are tougher conditions in the afternoon, though the forecast was for the wind to die. Jon Rahm, who fought back with a 69, wasn't buying it. “They said the wind was going to go down this afternoon. No, it's not. It's Oklahoma,” Rahm said. “It's going to stay just as windy as we had.” Thomas can only hope that's the case. The heritage of Southern Hills is that all seven of its major champions — three in the U.S. Open, four in the PGA — have had at least a share of the 36-hole lead. “If I maintain the lead, I hope that trend continues,” Thomas said. Of those who played Friday morning, Thomas had a three-shot lead over Matt Fitzpatrick (69), who has never won in America but seems to play his best the tougher the conditions. The only other players from that early group who finished two rounds under par were Oklahoma native Talor Gooch, who had 16 pars, one birdie, one bogey in a round of 70; Joaquin Niemann of Chile (71) and Bernd Wiesberger of Austria (67). They were at 1-under 139. McIlroy was in the same group as Woods and Jordan Spieth, one of them trying to stay near the top, the other two hopeful of making it to the weekend. Woods opened with a 74, which was looking to be around the cut line. Thomas was not trending all that well coming into the only major he has won, the 2017 PGA at Quail Hollow. He has gone 14 months without winning. He was not feeling his best earlier in the week, a combination of a virus infection and allergies. All that has changed on a course he only saw for the first time last week when he joined Spieth for a practice round. He opened with a pair of short birdies on No. 10 and the par-5 13th, with a tough par along the way that illustrated the effect of the wind. From 50 feet away on the 12th green, he sent the putt well out to the right and let the wind push it back toward the hole. He still had 6 feet and made that for par. Thomas holed a 25-foot birdie on the par-5 fifth and closed out his round with his fourth birdie. He gave respect to every shot, even putts that ordinarily would have been treated like tap-ins. “Although I played solid yesterday, I played really, really well today,” Thomas said. "The conditions were obviously very difficult. I stayed very patient, tried to get in my own little world and get in a zone and just tried to executive each shot the best I could. “I'm glad to have a good round to show for it.” The strength of the wind could have a big effect on who sticks around for the weekend. Masters champion Scottie Scheffler three-putted for double bogey on No. 9 to cap a 75 that left him at 6-over 146 and very much in danger of missing the cut. Dustin Johnson had another 73 and was in the same predicament. At least they had hope. Patrick Cantlay had a 75 and was 11 over, the first time he will miss the cut in the PGA. Brooks Koepka avoided such a fate with a 67, matching Thomas and Wiesberger for the low score of the morning. The difference from an opening 75 was easy for him to decipher. “You can't play from the rough. Simple,” Koepka said. “If you're going to put it in the rough, it's going to be quite difficult to even get the ball close.” ___ More AP golf: https://apnews.com/hub/golf and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports

Federal grand juries indict, charge 6 with felony crimes in Wichita WICHITA, Kan. (WIBW) - Federal grand juries in Wichita have returned indictments and charges for six suspects in federal felony cases, one of which was connected with two armed hotel robberies.

Court records indicate Darrell E. Black, 28, of Midwest City, is alleged to have committed armed robberies at the Extended Stay America hotel in Wichita on May 27, 2017, as well as the Days Inn and Suites hotel in Wichita two days later. The Office noted that five other suspects were charged with crimes in federal court. Those charges are as follows: - Tommy Anderson, Sr., 50, of Wichita: - 10 counts of possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance - 2 counts of prohibited person in possession of a firearm - 2 counts of possession of a firearm during a drug trafficking crime - 2 counts of using or maintaining drug premises - 1 count of prohibited person in possession of ammunition - Jaidyn Irving, 22, of Wichita: - 1 count of possession of a firearm by a previously convicted felon - Bradley Wicks, 39, of Wichita: - 1 count of possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute - 1 count of possession of a firearm by a prohibited person - Alberto Vasquez, 48, of Tuscon, Ariz.: - 1 count of possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance - fentanyl - Ever Quintana-Lopez, 31, of Wichita: - 1 count of possession of cocaine with intent to distribute - 1 count of possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute - 1 count of possession of fentanyl with intent to distribute - 1 count of possession of a firearm in the furtherance of a drug trafficking crime - 1 count of possession of a firearm by an illegal resident Copyright 2022 WIBW.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Locked in a near tie Friday, celebrity heart surgeon Dr. Mehmet Oz and former hedge fund CEO David McCormick began staffing up their campaigns with recount specialists as vote counting entered a fourth day in Pennsylvania's Republican primary for an open U.S. Senate seat. Both campaigns have hired Washington-based lawyers to lead their recount efforts, and both have hired Philadelphia-based campaign strategists who helped lead the operation to observe vote-counting on Election Day for Donald Trump's presidential campaign in 2020. The two campaigns already had dozens of lawyers and volunteers fanned out around the presidential battleground state as election workers and election boards toiled through the remaining ballots. A recount would mean that the outcome of the race might not be known until June 8, the deadline for counties to report their results to the state. With thousands of ballots left to tally, Oz, who was endorsed by Trump, led McCormick by 1,092 votes, or 0.08 percentage points, out of 1,338,399 ballots counted as of midday Friday. The race remained close enough to trigger Pennsylvania’s automatic recount law, with the separation between the candidates inside the law’s 0.5% margin. The hard-fought primary for the Republican nomination to fill retiring GOP Sen. Pat Toomey's seat is expected to be among the top races in the country in the November general election. The winner of the primary will face Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, who won the Democratic nomination just days after suffering a stroke. He has said doctors expect him to make a full recovery, and remained in the hospital Friday. County election boards began meeting Friday to sort out problematic or provisional ballots, while election workers plowed through thousands of outstanding mail ballots. In Allegheny County, which includes Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia, that included some uncounted election day precinct tallies. Pennsylvania’s Department of State, which oversees elections, said there were almost 28,000 mail-in and absentee ballots — 8,300 in the Republican primary — left to be counted, based on information it had from counties as of midday Friday. Even before a recount starts, there could be a flurry of lawsuits contesting the decisions of certain counties on whether to count ballots that may be difficult to read or bear some kind of irregularity. As of yet, neither campaign has gone to court, and both candidates have expressed confidence that they will win. A recount could change the initial result: A recount of a statewide judicial contest last November ended up padding a winner’s margin by more than 5,500 votes in a race where 5.1 million ballots were cast. Statewide, McCormick was doing better than Oz among mail ballots, while Oz was doing better among votes cast on election day. Counties also must still count provisional, overseas and military absentee ballots before they certify their results to the state by next Tuesday’s 5 p.m. deadline. Republican turnout exceeded 38%, the highest midterm primary showing in at least two decades, boosted by more than $70 million in advertising and other spending in the Senate GOP campaign. Oz was helped by the endorsement from Trump, while a super PAC backing McCormick weighed in heavily, spending about $20 million, much of it to attack Oz. Both men spent millions of their own dollars on the campaign, as well, and battled accusations of being carpetbaggers — Oz moved from a mansion in northern New Jersey overlooking Manhattan to run, while McCormick moved from Connecticut’s ritzy Gold Coast. ___ Follow Marc Levy on Twitter at https://twitter.com/timelywriter. ___ Follow AP for full coverage of the midterms at https://apnews.com/hub/2022-midterm-elections and on Twitter at https://twitter.com/ap_politics.

Teacher at Michigan school on leave after assignment shows former President Obama with animals A teacher at a school in Michigan has been placed on leave over an assignment showing former President Barack Obama with monkeys and asking students to identify a primate. The Roeper School, which has campuses in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, and Birmingham, Michigan, confirmed to multiple outlets that the teacher is employed at the Birmingham campus, located approximately 20 miles northwest of Detroit and the site of the school’s middle school and upper school, according to its website. The assignment showed students images of several animals, including monkeys, and an image of Obama, according to multiple reports. It asked “Which of the following are primates?" The school in a statement to USA TODAY said, “On behalf of Roeper School’s leadership, we want to acknowledge the disturbing racial offense contained in an assignment with an upper school class last week.” “The choice to use this piece of curriculum was completely inconsistent with our School’s philosophy and mission and we sincerely apologize for its use and the harm it has caused. While the teacher has taken responsibility and admits the mistake of not properly vetting the resource, we know that is not enough and she has been placed on administrative leave until further notice,” the statement continued. Georgia: Man accused of murdering teacher testifies he falsely confessed to the killing New York: Teacher on leave after allegedly making Black students pick cotton Carolyn Lett, director of diversity for the school, confirmed that the worksheet was assigned on May 11, and the school received a letter from a concerned parent the following day, The Detroit News reported. It was assigned to approximately 30 students. The school was closed Thursday due to alleged online threats. It reopened Friday.

Almost 6,000 landlords in England started court proceedings against tenants in the first three months of 2022 after serving them a so-called ‘no-fault’ eviction notice, figures show. Some 5,890 landlords started accelerated procedure claims between January and March after issuing renters with a Section 21 notice, according to figures published by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) on Thursday. This is up 63% on the previous quarter and 41% compared to the same period in 2020, before the coronavirus pandemic. Overall, 18,626 eviction claims were made to courts by social and private landlords in the first three months of 2022. This is up 32% from the last three months of 2021, but is down by around a fifth compared to the same period in 2020. When the pandemic hit in 2020, measures were introduced to protect tenants in the private rental system from losing their homes. These included a temporary ban on evictions, which was lifted from May 2021. The MoJ said bailiffs are working through the backlog of repossession claims and other action dating back to the beginning of the pandemic, and that numbers are expected to continue “rising steadily” throughout the year. The Government first pledged to scrap no-fault evictions in 2019. Earlier this month in the Queen’s Speech, it said it will introduce a Renters Reform Bill to protect private renters and abolish no-fault evictions. Shelter chief executive Polly Neate said every minute wasted puts another renter at risk. She said: “It’s alarming that as the living cost crisis rages more landlords are kicking tenants out of their homes. “These are real people whose lives are being turned upside down and simply cannot afford to lose their homes right now.” Ameera, 47, and her four children are facing homelessness after being served a Section 21 eviction notice. They have been told to leave the home they have lived in for four years in Sussex by the end of June, but Ameera is concerned she will not pass tenancy checks due to her credit score. She said: “My anxiety is rocketing, and the uncertainty of this situation is affecting my children too. “There are so few properties available, and my son has to be near his school because of his learning disability. “I don’t know how we’ll find somewhere else in such a small timeframe, or how I’ll afford it.” Matt Downie, chief executive of Crisis, said it is “unacceptable” that the Government is allowing more people to be forced from their homes. He said: “While families across the country battle to keep roofs over their heads, government inaction over the spiralling costs of energy, rent and food is causing more and more people to be sucked into this crisis. “To prevent unthinkable numbers of people being pushed into homelessness, we urge the Government to make good on their pledge to scrap ‘no-fault’ Section 21 notices as quickly as possible, as well as unfreezing housing benefit so it covers the true cost of renting. “More dither and delay will lead to more households being forced into making impossible decisions as their budgets are squeezed to breaking point.” A spokesman for the National Residential Landlords Association said: “It was inevitable that there would be an increase in cases heard by the courts in both the private and social housing sectors given the backlog following the repossession ban during the pandemic. “It is vital that such cases are now heard in a timely fashion and in a way that is fair to both tenants and responsible landlords.” Source Link Rise in possession claims by landlords after serving no-fault eviction notices

Rolls-Royce has revealed the second interpretation of its ultra-exclusive Boat Tail model. The new car was unveiled ahead of its public debut at the Concorso d’Eleganza at Villa d’Este and is one of only three Boat Tail cars that will be built by the Rolls-Royce Coachbuild services. The first Boat Tail was revealed at the same exclusive event last May and was rumoured at the time to be the world’s most expensive new car, with an estimated price tag of £20 million. This second commission takes a more subdued approach with subtler colours and materials inspired by the owner’s family history. Each Boat Tail uses the same basic body design - a swept back roofless two-door tourer inspired by the racing yachts and custom-bodied Rolls-Royces of the early 20th century - but trimmed and equipped according to its owner’s particular tastes. The owner of this second car commissioned it to reflect the background of his family business, which grew out of his father’s origins in the pearling industry. Among touches linking the car to that past are a unique mother-of-pearl finish to interior switches and instruments and a clock made from mother-of-pearl from the owner’s private collection. A selection of shells from the owner’s collection were also used to inspire the unique exterior and interior finishes. The main bodywork is finished in a pearlescent blend of oyster and soft rose, with a contrasting cognac-coloured bonnet containing bronze and gold coloured flakes. The famous Pantheon Grille, milled from a solid billet of aluminium, features the Spirit of Ecstasy fashioned in rose gold and the rose gold motif is seen around the car, including in a thread woven into the technical fibre lower sills. The rose gold even finds its way into the car’s spectacular hosting suite, where the “butterfly-design” boot panels are finished in royal walnut veneer with rose-gold plated pinstripes. When activated the powered panels swing up and out to reveal a crockery and cutlery set and a telescopic parasol. The walnut veneer with its rose-gold pinstriping carries on into the car’s interior where it wraps around the transmission tunnel. Elsewhere, the luxury car’s interior is finished in cognac and oyster-coloured leathers with a pearlescent finish that mirror the exterior colours, along with mother-of-pearl accents. Revealing the latest work from Rolls-Royce Coachbuild, the marque’s CEO Torsten Müller-Ötvös, said: “Coachbuild elevates our work as a house of luxury into a new space; it is the haute couture of our industry. “Far more than just a beautiful motor car, a coachbuilt creation becomes a legacy that embodies something extraordinarily personal and emotionally resonant for each client. For our designers, too, Coachbuild provides unparalleled creative freedom; opportunities to take design, materials, engineering and craftsmanship to the very highest levels.”

State Road 212 in La Porte County will be closed on or after Monday, May 23 through late June. State Road 212 will first be closed between Warnke Road and Pueblo Street, and when work in that location is completed, the closure will be between Fryer Road and Tryon Road. The official detour will follow U.S. 20, I-94 and U.S. 12. The closure will impact the detour for the current U.S. 12 closure where NICTD is working on the South Shore Double Track project. The closure for U.S. 12, which is expected to be in place through May 26, will follow the same detour as this State Road 212 work while the two projects are occurring at the same time.

More than two in five banks in Bedford have closed since 2015, new figures show. Analysis from consumer champion Which? has shown a sharp decline in the number of bank branches open in areas across much of the UK compared to seven years ago. According to figures up to the end of April, six banks have been shuttered in Bedford since the start of 2015, leaving eight remaining in the area. Separate figures from LINK, a cash machine network, show there has also been a decline in the number of free-to-use ATMs across the UK in recent years. Their data shows that between the start of 2018 and early March this year, the number of ATMs in Bedford dropped from 113 to 86. The increasing use of online banking and contactless payments have led to concerns some will be left behind, or unable to access key services. Which? chief executive, Anabel Hoult, said: “While the pandemic has accelerated the move to digital payments for many consumers, many are not yet ready to make that switch and require protection from an avalanche of ATM and bank branch closures that have left the UK’s cash system at risk of collapse.” A bill to protect access to cash was announced as part of the Queen’s Speech in May. The Treasury says the new legislation will ensure “continued access to withdrawal and deposit facilities across the UK”. Economic secretary to the Treasury, John Glen, said: “We know that access to cash is still vital for many people, especially those in vulnerable groups. “We promised we would protect it, and through this bill we are delivering on that promise.” Full details on what will be included are yet to be published. Which? welcomed the bill but said it “must ensure that clear requirements are placed on industry to meet communities’ need for cash”. Its data found that nearly half (48%) of bank branches across the UK have closed since the start of 2015, and seven constituencies have seen every one of their bank branches closed in recent years. And LINK says that over 13,500 free-to-use ATMs have been cut from the UK’s network – a quarter of the 54,500 in operation at the start of 2018. Recent research by the Royal Society of Arts estimates 10 million people in the UK would struggle in a cashless society. The research suggests the elderly and those in areas with poor mobile or broadband connectivity have suffered most in the move to digital banking. RSA researcher Mark Hall said: “For millions of people, their relationship with cash is critical to the way they manage their weekly budget. “It’s vital that the dash to digital doesn’t disenfranchise anyone, especially with the cost-of-living crisis putting such significant strain on family finances right now.”

Kanika Kapoor has finally confirmed her engagement to NRI beau Gautam Hathiramani. She posted photos from their romantic pre-wedding event in London with a romantic caption for Gautam, confessing her love for him. Kanika is wearing a pastel green lehenga and floral jewellery in the photos, and she is having a romantic moment with Gautam. Gautam is a businessman based in London. Kanika captioned the photos she posted on Instagram: "G (heart emoticon) I Love you sooooo much!" The first image shows a happy Kanika in an embroidered lehenga, with a relative making her wear flower bangles and mangtika, a mehendi ceremony custom. Gautam is dressed in a beige kurta-pyjama and is holding a bouquet of red roses. He is also seen kneeling down to propose to her with a pink rose. The couple is also seen dancing together while other guests applaud. Kanika's fanpages had shared a few videos from another pre-wedding event the day before. Kanika wore a silver lehenga, and Gautam wore a white kurta pyjama. Kanika was seen dancing to Oo Bolega Ya with other guests, including one of her daughters, in a video. Kanika has three children: Aayana, Samara, and Yuvraj. She married when she was 18 and moved to London. After a few years, she divorced and went up to raise her three children on her own. She is originally from Lucknow and frequently visits her parents in India. She rose to prominence with her 2012 single Jugni Ji, and later with Baby Doll in 2014. She has since had several hits, including Chittiyaan Kalaiyaan, Tukur Tukur, Genda Phool, and Oo Bolega Ya Oo Oo Bolega. View this post on Instagram

CAMPTONVILLE, Calif. (AP) — Firefighters battled a small forest blaze in the Sierra Nevada on Friday as forecasters warned of critical fire weather conditions in the interior of Northern California due to gusty winds and low humidity levels. Red flag warnings were in effect for the Sacramento Valley, the northern San Joaquin Valley and adjacent foothills and mountains, the National Weather Service said. The Golden Fire was burning along State Route 49, known as the Golden Chain Highway, south of the small town of Camptonville. Yuba County authorities said the fire exceeded 12 acres (4.8 hectares) by late morning. Tahoe National Forest reported that federal, state and local crews were battling the flames. The red flag warnings were set to expire Friday night but forecasters said dry conditions with lighter winds would continue through the weekend, followed by a return of hot weather by the middle of next week. Well outside the red flag area, a wildfire in rural countryside at the southern end of the San Joaquin Valley was 10% contained after scorching 595 acres (240 hectares), Cal Fire said. In Southern California, fire risk was “elevated” in mountain and interior areas but much of the region was covered by the damp, seasonal “May Gray” marine layer.

Wimbledon has its ranking points stripped by ATP and WTA The ATP and WTA have reduced this year's Wimbledon Championships to an exhibition event after the removal of all Russian and Belarusian players from attending; ITF withdraws points for Wimbledon juniors, wheelchair events Last Updated: 20/05/22 9:17pm Wimbledon has had its ranking points stripped by the ATP and WTA in response to barring Russian and Belarusian players from this summer's Grand Slam. Russian and Belarusian players were last month banned from competing at this year's Wimbledon due to the invasion of Ukraine, a decision which both the WTA and ATP criticised. - Murray 'not supportive' of Wimbledon ban - Djokovic criticises Wimbledon's 'crazy' ban - Wimbledon's ban on Russian/Belarusian players: Key questions answered Wimbledon chairman Ian Hewitt said the UK Government had left them with "no viable alternative" but to ban Russian and Belarusian players from this year's Championships. Hewitt said the club was left with only two options - an outright ban or forcing players to sign declarations condemning the invasion of Ukraine. Andy Murray, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic have all spoken out against the ban. "The ability for players of any nationality to enter tournaments based on merit, and without discrimination, is fundamental to our Tour," the ATP said in a statement. "The decision by Wimbledon to ban Russian and Belarusian players from competing in the UK this summer undermines this principle and the integrity of the ATP Ranking system. It is also inconsistent with our Rankings agreement. "Absent a change in circumstances, it is with great regret and reluctance that we see no option but to remove ATP Ranking points from Wimbledon for 2022." The statement continued: "Our rules and agreements exist in order to protect the rights of players as a whole. Unilateral decisions of this nature, if unaddressed, set a damaging precedent for the rest of the Tour. Discrimination by individual tournaments is simply not viable on a Tour that operates in more than 30 countries. "We greatly value our long-standing relationships with Wimbledon and the LTA and do not underestimate the difficult decisions faced in responding to recent UK Government guidance. "However, we note that this was informal guidance, not a mandate, which offered an alternative option that would have left the decision in the hands of individual players competing as neutral athletes through a signed declaration. "Our internal discussions with affected players in fact led us to conclude this would have been a more agreeable option for the Tour. "We remain hopeful of further discussions with Wimbledon leading to an acceptable outcome for all concerned. More broadly, we believe this matter again highlights the need for a united governance structure across professional tennis so that decisions of this nature can be made in a joint manner." WTA and ITF follow suit in stripping ranking points Steve Simon, WTA Chairman, said in a statement: "As a result of the AELTC's position that it will not honour its obligation to use the WTA Rankings for entry into Wimbledon and proceed with a partial field not based on merit, the WTA has made the difficult decision to not award WTA ranking points for this year's Wimbledon Championships. "The stance we are taking is about protecting the equal opportunities that WTA players should have to compete as individuals. "If we do not take this stance, then we abandon our fundamental principle and allow the WTA to become an example to support discrimination based on nationality at other events and in other regions around the world. The WTA will continue to apply its rules to reject such discrimination." The International Tennis Federation has also confirmed its decision not to grant ranking points to Wimbledon for Juniors and Wheelchair events. "The ITF has determined that Wimbledon's entry criteria banning Russians and Belarusians compromises the integrity of its international competition, in particular its ranking system, as there is a lack of alternative equivalent opportunities for players to compete for ranking points and prize money," it said in a statement. Wimbledon stands by decision Wimbledon organisers said they had "deep disappointment" at the removal of ranking points, but added they stood by their decision. A statement read: "We appreciate that opinions differ in relation to our decision to decline entries from Russian and Belarusian players to the championships this year, and we deeply regret the impact of this decision on the individuals affected. "However, given the position taken by the UK Government to limit Russia's global influence, which removed automatic entry by ranking, and the widespread response of Government, industry, sport and creative institutions, we remain of the view that we have made the only viable decision for Wimbledon as a globally renowned sporting event and British institution, and we stand by the decision we have made. "We therefore wish to state our deep disappointment at the decisions taken by the ATP, WTA and ITF in removing ranking points for the championships. "We believe these decisions to be disproportionate in the context of the exceptional and extreme circumstances of this situation and the position we found ourselves in, and damaging to all players who compete on tour. "We are considering our options, and we are reserving our position at this stage. We are also in discussion with our Grand Slam colleagues." - Stay updated with the latest scores I results - Updated ATP & WTA rankings I News in brief - Get Sky Sports | Download the Sky Sports App 'We deeply regret today's decision' Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries criticised the decision and said it does not send the right message to Russian president Vladimir Putin. She said: "The international sporting community rightly moved quickly and came together to condemn Putin's illegal and barbaric actions in Ukraine. "Given the importance of sport and cultural bodies in making the Russian government an international pariah, we stand squarely behind the decision that Wimbledon and the LTA have taken to stand up for what is right. "We deeply regret today's decision and urge the ATP, WTA and the ITF to consider their stance on ranking points at the Championships. It does not send the right message to either Putin or the people of Ukraine." The move by the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) is the first time players have been banned on grounds of nationality since the immediate post-World War Two era when German and Japanese players were excluded.

Arsenal could view fifth place as improvement, admits Arteta ahead of last chance to qualify for Champions League Mikel Arteta says Arsenal should consider a fifth-place Premier League finish an improvement, even if they miss out on qualifying for the Champions League. The Gunners head into the final day of the season on Sunday needing to defeat Everton and Tottenham to lose to Norwich in order to leapfrog their north London rivals into fourth place. But with a return to European football secured after a year in the wilderness regardless, the Spaniard says it should be viewed as progress wherever they end up.

"It is because we have created expectations that this club deserves and where this club has to be," Arteta responded when asked if fifth should be considered progress for the Gunners. "In the last two months, we haven't been able to fulfil those expectations but overall, looking back where we were, you have to be clear as well with what we have to do, "We have had much deeper issues at the club than the league table, in my opinion. Now they have been resolved. Now they look very, very strong and that we have the real strong foundations now to build what we want to do." When did Arsenal last reach the Champions League? The Gunners have not competed in the Champions League since the 2016-17 campaign, when a second-place finish the season before - behind Leicester - was enough to book their spot. Since then, they have failed to reach the competition, coming closest with fifth-place finishes in 2017 and 2019, plus a Europa League final defeat in the latter year to Chelsea. If results fall their way this time however, they can end an exodus from the European top table in one fell swoop.

Avenatti, facing sentencing, apologizes to Stormy Daniels NEW YORK (AP) — Convicted California lawyer Michael Avenatti wants leniency at sentencing for defrauding former client Stormy Daniels of hundreds of thousands of dollars, his lawyers say, citing a letter in which he told Daniels: “I am truly sorry.” The emailed letter, dated May 13, was included in a submission his lawyers made late Thursday in Manhattan federal court in advance of a June 2 sentencing. Avenatti, 51, should face no more than three years in prison for his latest conviction, or 4 1/2 years in all, because two convictions have destroyed his life, the lawyers said. “This sobering reality is as sufficient and powerful a punishment and deterrence as any. Worse, Mr. Avenatti’s extreme rise and fall played out on the most public of platforms, an experience he is unlikely to ever recover from reputationally,” they said. Last year, Avenatti was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison for trying to extort up to $25 million from Nike by threatening to tarnish its reputation with claims that the sportswear giant was immersed in a college basketball recruiting scandal in which cash payouts were used to steer top-tier athletes to the best programs. Then he was convicted by a jury this year for pocketing up to $300,000 of an $800,000 payout to Daniels for her autobiography, spending some of the money on his firm’s payroll and personal expenses. Insisting on representing himself just before Daniels was to testify, Avenatti forced his lawyers to take a back seat as he confronted his former client over advances she received for her book, “Full Disclosure,” published in fall 2018. He tried to justify taking some book proceeds by citing other legal quests he took on for Daniels as he was litigating lawsuits brought on her behalf to negate the effects of a $130,000 payment she said she received in 2016 from Donald Trump’s personal lawyer to remain silent about a tryst a decade earlier that Trump has denied. Shortly after the payment, Trump won the presidency. In the presentence submission, Avenatti’s lawyers noted that they had included a letter of apology that their client sent Daniels a week ago. Included as an exhibit, the letter said he had reflected over the past several months about his life, their friendship and his legal representation of her. “It is obvious that I failed you in many respects and that I disappointed you and let you down in multiple ways,” he wrote. “I wish that we could turn back the clock so that the mistakes I made would never be repeated. I am truly sorry.” In citing the letter, Avenatti’s lawyers also wrote: “Mr. Avenatti understands that some may view his remorse as too little too late, and that the Court may look skeptically on his contrition given the way in which Mr. Avenatti’s trial transpired. Nevertheless, Mr. Avenatti is genuinely remorseful, especially for the pain his actions have caused his family and close friends.” They also noted that Avenatti wants treatment for alcohol use and to engage in therapeutic counseling services. Prosecutors will file their own sentencing recommendations this month. Copyright 2022 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

When it comes to policy, Admiral Michael Franken isn't easy to define on the political spectrum. Social issues? Franken is a progressive. But what about foreign affairs, where he spent 36 years in the U.S. Navy? "I'm inventive," he said. Franken hopes that appeal helps him, as he is one of three Democrats running to unseat Sen. Chuck Grassley in November. But first, he must get through a primary featuring former Rep. Abby Finkenauer and Dr. Glenn Hurst, a city council member in the tiny southwest Iowa town of Minden. The three-star vice admiral in the Navy during the Obama administration said he moved 20 times and his kids once went to three schools in one year. From the ground up Franken wasn't born into wealth. He grew up the youngest of nine in a middle-class family in far northwest Iowa, where the closest town was Hudson, South Dakota. At 19, he became a foreman in a slaughterhouse, which paid for his college. "Yeah, I smelled a little bit after work," he chuckled. "But I know what it's like when your future seems truncated. This isn't the Iowa that I grew up in where the sky was the limit and the rungs of the ladder were right before you. "We need to kind of return to that where you graduate from college and you don't own a king's ransom to pay in loans. But we have a problem in the country, and it's a wage disparity. It's that too many poor people are working poor." Getting things done Franken talked about his military service as a vessel to his bipartisanship work. He had to work with different agencies over the years, but also learned more hands-on approaches to be successful. "I've been known my entire life to be a doer," Franken said. "I get things done. I've worked across the aisle and I'm very bipartisan in my perspective. That's how you get things accomplished." He had to stitch together coalitions in the military on a bipartisan basis to create a defense agency. "Those are the sacrifices you do in life to be successful and do your nation's bidding," he said. The issues Franken favors a public option for health insurance, but believes it needs to be phased in with Medicare for all who want it starting at age 50. He's also a proponent of a $15 minimum wage, also gradually. Both are mainstream Democratic positions in today's age. "The minimum wage was designed for a family of three to live on one income with frugal elegance," he said. "No one person can live in any form of frugality on Iowa's minimum wage. Granted, the shop owner down on Oak Street probably has a tough time justifying $15 an hour for work, and that's an issue I understand. But ultimately we need to go there anyway. "If we were to boost the minimum wage to $15 an hour, I believe the number is 31% of Iowans would get a boost in their wages, and 64% of those that would get a boosted wage are female. So there's a disconnect there." Franken acknowledged that the influx of money into the economy has led to inflation, but he was in favor of a slimmed-down Build Back Better bill, which would have funded much of President Joe Biden's domestic agenda through tax increases on the wealthy. That did not survive the Senate. "Certainly we flooded the market with money, but one of the aspects of inflation is that we've exported so much of our capabilities overseas," he said. "And the pandemic is still very part a part of China, so those goods and services aren't coming here. The corporate world is also sitting on a fat amount of money. I'm not an economist, but the negative side of inflation is a recession, which was the great fear. "I believe Build Back Better is a good plan, but I suggest we repeal the top Trump tax breaks first, and piecemeal some of the other leftover ones that were in Build Back Better." Franken is more apprehensive about canceling student debt, wondering if that would be an endless cycle. "What we're doing is treating a symptom to a larger problem," he said. "Working in the hog slaughterhouse could pay for an entire year at school. The state doesn't help out in education like it used to, and the student loan program makes money off loans. If we constantly wipe out college debt, what do you think the cost of college is going to do? It's going to go up." He also believes the state needs to "take a better grip at agriculture" from an environmental standpoint. He sees worsening water pollution, drinking water, food supplies. "We must do better, and I think the farmers in Iowa want to do better, and the manner in which we conduct agriculture has just pushed us to this level where it's all about production and nothing else," Franken said. "The farmer has little sway on whether they make money or not. They're at the very tail end of the markets, and they're being whip-sawed between various entities of which they have no control." More in common than not During his travels around the state and hailing from one of the most conservative parts of it, Franken has heard many of the same concerns from people and believes there isn't a lot that separates them, especially in generalities. "Everyone has a few things in common. We want something better for our offspring. We want that century farm to potentially be a two-century farm. We want the quality of life here in the state in a way that when our children are in their working adult years, they want to come back and stay here," he said. "I like to think I have far more in common with the right and left than I do that separates me. I believe in melding people together. "People want a clear, empathetic, principled person as a servant leader," he said. "Always trying to serve those around you and putting yourself absolutely in line." Franken believes there is a large middle of the electorate hungry for someone "pragmatic, smart and dedicated." "I believe I'm that person," he said. "I've been asked where I fall on the scale of progressive and moderate. Well, it's a jagged edge. I'm all over the map. "If you want to see an expanded business environment, a great education type," he said, "if this is what you envisioned for Iowa, where we were progressive and were 150 years ahead of Dred Scott. ...You want a higher quality of life, I'm planning on giving that to you, because I want to relive that Iowa."

Yellen's global tax plan meets resistance abroad and at home Posted May 20, 2022 3:55 p.m. EDT Updated May 20, 2022 3:56 p.m. EDT KOENIGSWINTER, Germany — Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen celebrated a “historic day” last summer when more than 100 nations agreed to a global minimum tax deal, aimed at putting the world's countries on a more equal footing in attracting and keeping multinational companies. President Joe Biden tweeted that the idea was "diplomacy reshaping our global economy and delivering for our people.” But this week, as Yellen joined Group of Seven finance ministers for meetings in Germany, she found herself insisting that prospects for moving ahead with the landmark tax plan were merely “not hopeless.” The plan is running up against new resistance abroad and old divisions at hom e as fresh global concerns take center stage. The ongoing war in Ukraine, the threat of rising food insecurity, crushing inflation and other urgent matters have stolen finance ministers attention away from putting the plan in place before a 2023 deadline. To add to the pressure, Poland solidified its opposition with a veto at an April European Union finance ministers meeting in Brussels. And Republicans in Congress are balking, too. On Friday, the G-7 finance ministers wrapped up their two days of meetings with a joint statement that was most notable for announced pledges of $19.8 billion in economic aid for Ukraine. It included only brief mention of the tax idea, saying the ministers reiterated a “strong political commitment to the timely and effective implementation” of the plan to bring “new rules into effect at global level.” Broadly speaking, the global minimum tax deal is designed to subject large multinational firms to a 15% tax rate wherever they operate. The deal also provides for taxing part of the profits of the largest global companies in countries where they do business online but may have no physical presence. It is supposed to halt an international race to the bottom for corporate taxation that has led multinational businesses to book their profits in countries with low tax rates. This enables them to avoid taxes and encourages countries to slash rates to attract the companies. The G-7 website calls it “a genuine revolution in international tax law.” French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire has called it “the most important international tax agreement in a century." But Poland is raising new concerns about how the plan would be implemented, and the G-7 meetings did not appear to break the logjam. EU rules require member nation unanimity to change tax-related laws. Christian Lindner, Germany’s finance minister, said at the end of the G-7 minister meetings that “all the technical concerns have been dispelled, so there can be no technical considerations any more, but … highly political ones.” Wydział Prasowy, a spokesperson for Poland’s finance ministry, cited concerns about the “lowering of the EU’s competitiveness and placing of additional burden on European businesses” without ensuring that digital giants are adequately taxed. He added that the concerns were heightened ”especially when faced with difficulties of the current post-pandemic times." Yellen, who has made the tax deal one of her top priorities as Treasury secretary, opened this week's visit to Europe with a stop in Poland, in part to urge Polish leaders to reconsider their position. “We’re working to try to address their concerns,” she told reporters Thursday. “We would love to see Poland come on board. I think it is not hopeless." So far, 137 countries representing nearly 95 percent of the world’s gross domestic product have agreed on the plan meant to “ensure that corporations fairly share the burden of financing government,” she said. But Yellen also faces headwinds at home from congressional Republicans who have displayed little appetite for having the United States hold up its end of the agreement. They say the plan would make the U.S. less competitive in a global economy. Sen. Mike Crapo of Idaho, top Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, and Rep. Kevin Brady of Texas, the top Republican on the House Ways and Means Committee, both pointed to Poland's opposition in a joint statement last month. “If the EU is already hitting roadblocks, no one should expect countries like China to implement this deal anytime soon," they said. C. Eugene Steuerle, a fellow at the Urban Institute and a co-founder of the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center in Washington, said the deal may be unlucky to have been born in politically fractured times. “What makes anything like this difficult these days is that the two parties are so divided,” he said. “That’s what really threatens this legislation more than the idea — which I think would traditionally have gotten support, at least some support from both sides of the aisle.” There's also just the crush of other global concerns demanding attention. David Feldman, economics professor at the College of William & Mary in Virginia, says “governments have a certain amount of bandwidth — the current events have to push some of these other things a little further down the list.” Marc Goldwein, senior policy director of the private Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, said the overall idea of the tax plan “is not to be punitive” but to ”raise revenues for all nations.” “It also hopefully stops countries from cutting their taxes relative to other countries," he said. According to the Congressional Research Service, since the mid-1960s, U.S. corporate tax payments have declined relative to the size of the economy — to roughly 1 percent of GDP in 2020 from 3.9 percent in 1965.

Dybala in, Paredes out for Argentina friendly against Italy BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni included striker Paulo Dybala in his squad on Friday for his team’s friendly against Italy on June 1st, but left recovering Leandro Paredes out. The match will take place at Wembley Stadium in London. Dybala was a doubt among Argentina’s strikers as he leaves Juventus at the end of his contract after a disappointing season of the Italian club. Paredes went through surgery in the beggining of April due to a pubalgia. His doctors at Paris Saint-Germain expected him to return to action within two months.

ANDERSON — The father of the boy rescued from Falls Park on April 23 has been charged with felony neglect of a dependent. Joshua Roach, 34, Greenfield, was arrested Thursday on the charge and was released on his own recognizance by Criminal Magistrate Jason Childers after his initial court appearance. Childers also put in place a no-contact order, which means Roach cannot have any contact with his son until the order is removed or modified by a judge. According to the probable cause affidavit filed by the Pendleton Police Department, the boy was swimming at Falls Park when he was swept over the falls and was underwater for about 30 seconds. A passerby, Logan Norrod, dove in and rescued the boy. Norrod’s wife, Emily, told police once it was discovered the boy was in trouble she started yelling toward people in the area to determine who his parents were. Emily Norrod and a second witness said the boy’s father didn’t appear at the scene for 5-10 minutes. The witnesses said Roach never spoke to Norrod and he didn’t seem to be concerned about what had happened. Roach told police, according to court documents, that he was at Falls Park with his wife and three children and his dog and the children were playing in the creek. Roach said he didn’t see what happened. Roach’s wife, Shatawn, said outside the courtroom that what happened was an accident. She said Roach’s son lives with his mother. Roach told Childers that he has previous felony convictions for neglect of a dependent, domestic battery and possession of methamphetamine.

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate PANAMA CITY (AP) — U.S. first lady Jill Biden arrived in Panama Friday, her second stop on a three-country Latin America visit before the United States hosts the Summit of the Americas next month in Los Angeles. Biden landed in Panama City around midday and went directly to the presidential palace for a meeting with Yasmín Colón, Panama’s first lady. The two first ladies were scheduled to visit a nearby school to learn about Colón’s “See and Hear to Learn” program, which provides eye and hearing exams – and eyeglasses and hearing aids, as needed – to students. Biden arrived from Ecuador, where she emphasized the close relationship between nations of the Americas and how the economic or political situation in one can affect the others. The Biden administration has been trying to build momentum in the region ahead of next month’s Summit of the Americas, but has faced pushback over its unwillingness to invite Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua to participate. Mexico President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said last week he would not attend if countries were excluded. Biden has said he wants to sign a regional declaration on migration and protection at the summit. The U.S. has been talking to governments throughout the region about controlling migration flows and encouraging some countries to host more asylum seekers to lessen the pressure at the U.S. border. Panama is a critical transit country for migrants traveling from South America toward the U.S. They pass through the dense jungle of the Darien Gap that divides Panama and Colombia.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida lawmakers return to the Capitol next week for a special legislative session aimed at addressing problems in the state’s turbulent property insurance market, a persistent and multifaceted crisis in a region vulnerable to damaging hurricanes. It is still unclear exactly how the GOP-controlled statehouse plans to handle the issue legislatively ahead of the weeklong session that begins Monday. In his proclamation calling lawmakers back to Tallahassee, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis highlighted several issues that have contributed to rising insurance rates in the state, including high rates of insurance litigation that drive up premiums and massive underwriting losses for insurance companies that have resulted in insolvency or canceled policies, among other things. There is also added urgency to pass legislation ahead of hurricane season, which in previous years has seen Florida battered with powerful storms, such as the Category 5 Hurricane Michael in 2018. Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis, in an interview, also stressed the problem of litigation, saying the state last year accounted for 9% of all claims filed nationally but nearly 80% of all the property insurance lawsuits. Florida law makes it highly profitable for lawyers to sue insurance companies even if the amount won is relatively small, and previous moves to limit attorney fees have not stopped the crush of legal fees. “The market right now is experiencing challenges that I don’t know if I’ve ever seen in my 16 years of being in Tallahassee," he said. "We’re at a stage right now where the fraud and litigation abuse is deterring capital markets from wanting to deploy money into the Florida market.” Still, Patronis, a Republican, warned that next week's legislative package won't grant financial immediate relief to homeowners. “The Legislature has the opportunity next week to do some good for the Florida policy holders that won’t be immediate, but at least over time we will see some relief," he said. There has been growing consensus among lawmakers for the need to reform aspects of property insurance law, with DeSantis saying the goal would be to “bring some sanity and stabilize and have a functioning market.” Lawmakers could also exact changes to Citizens Property Insurance, a state-backed insurer meant to be a last resort for property owners unable to find private coverage. Amid problems in the state's market, Citizens Property Insurance has seen policies increase at a rapid rate and is expected to reach over a million policies by the end of the year The special session comes after lawmakers failed to pass insurance legislation during their regular session, which ended in March and was dominated by partisan rancor over bills dealing with abortion, race and gender and sexual orientation. Separately, lawmakers last month finished another contentious special session on congressional redistricting and legislation to dissolve a private government Walt Disney World controls on its property in the state. The session is set to run May 23 to May 27.

HARRISON COUNTY, Ind. (WXIN) — Investigators have revealed new details in the tragic death of a good Samaritan who stopped to assist a stranded motorist along an Indiana road, only to wind up being shot and killed by the very person he stopped to lend aid to. According to the Indiana State Police, Justin Moore, 31, of Owensboro, Kentucky, was traveling on State Road 135 just south of Palmyra when he ran out of gas and pulled his vehicle to the side of the road shortly before 9:30 p.m. on Monday. Investigators learned that Moore had asked a local resident for gas, or money to obtain fuel, before returning to his car which was still partially in the road. Not long after, a reserve officer with the Palmyra Police Department arrived to assist Moore. Investigators said it was at this time that Jacob Tyler McClanahan, 24, of Corydon, was traveling down State Road 135 in a pickup truck with a friend when he spotted Moore’s vehicle. McClanahan, a volunteer firefighter and employee of the county highway department, pulled his truck over in order to offer his assistance to Moore and the police officer. At some point during the officer’s interaction with Moore, investigators said the Kentucky man was asked if he had any weapons inside his vehicle. Moore told the officer he did not have any weapons in the car but was in possession of a small knife, according to investigators. The officer asked Moore to place the knife inside the vehicle. Investigators said they aren’t sure what prompted Moore’s next actions. After he was asked to put the knife in his car, Moore allegedly opened his door, reached inside as if to put the knife away, but then quickly turned around with a shotgun in his hands and fired at the officer. Investigators said the officer reacted, drawing his own sidearm and firing back at Moore. Moore fired the shotgun a second time, according to police, but it was McClanahan who was struck and killed by the shotgun blast. The reserve officer returned fire once more, investigators said, striking and killing the shotgun-wielding Kentucky man with his department-issued pistol. State police said officers from multiple departments swarmed the scene in the wake of the frantic and sudden shooting. Life-saving measures were attempted on both Moore and McClanahan. The Palmyra officer was transported to the Harrison County Hospital after suffering a minor injury in the shootout. Despite these new details, state police said investigators are still unsure why Moore was traveling in Indiana. No details have emerged at this time as to why he decided to pull out the shotgun and fire upon the very people who stopped to help him, investigators say. In the wake of the tragic shooting, the Harrison County Fire Department, where McClanahan was a volunteer, expressed shock over the seemingly senseless shooting. “Nothing makes sense that anyone could be murdered while stopping and rendering aid,” they wrote in a Facebook post. “Jacob is a true hero that will forever be remembered living the selfless life he did. A true firefighter that was always there when you needed help. Godspeed Jacob T. McClanahan. Your brothers at Harrison Township will miss you. Gone but never forgotten.” Jacob McClanahan was an employee of the Harrison County Highway Department who also shared a post that included photographs of McClanahan in tribute to their fallen coworker. “Our hearts ache today over the senseless and tragic loss of our friend and coworker,” the highway department said in a Facebook post. “Jacob was very kind and had the true heart of a servant. Whether here at the Highway Department or with the fire department Jacob was always looking for ways to help people.”

For countless students in Manistee and Benzie counties, high school graduation is here. It's the end of gym class, high school sports and sub-par rectangle pizza while starting a glorious life of filing taxes and paying bills. For this article I am not writing as Mitch Vosburg the sports reporter. Instead, I am writing as Mitch Vosburg the human being who's spent the last decade trying to figure out life after graduation and finally has life pinned down (well, at least I hope). So please, allow me to enlighten those who are beginning new chapters in life and share a few things I've learned on life's journey so far that I wish I knew as I received my high school diploma. Live life for yourself I spent life both during and after high school trying to please people. Whether it be my family, friends, a crush or a boss, I sacrificed my own happiness for theirs. Let me save you a few years of misery, that doesn't work. This didn't click for me until the fall of 2019. I was visiting my grandparents and asking them for advice on how I was handling my life. The biggest constant in that conversation came from my grandma. Her words were simple: do what makes you happy. For me, happiness doesn't come from the approval of others. It comes from the approval of myself, the only person who can execute my actions and decisions. It may seem selfish, but I try to live with only one regret, and it's not spending my life being unhappy. Kindness is mandatory Let's go back to 2019. Central Michigan football is opening its season against Albany, but a line of storms delayed the game for several hours. As I walked to a primarily empty student session with a squish from my soaked Nikes in each step, I see this young kid with blonde hair standing in the front row. Turns out he was a freshman attending his first CMU football game as a student. After talking for a while he reveals his interest in being a sports reporter, but was torn on which avenue to venture in. I gave him my two cents and went home to change into dryer clothes. Two years later we both went to CMU's home opener against Robert Morris. This time we weren't spectators, we were both reporters for our school paper and spent the 2021 season covering the Chippewas together while grooming him to take over our paper's sports desk. Moral of the story: One act of kindness to a random stranger can be life altering. You never know what someone is dealing with at any given moment. Being kind is free. Being unkind comes at a large cost. You will fail at some point, accept it Everyone who has walked this planet has, at one point or another, failed. Tom Brady lost three Super Bowls. Michael Jordan missed game-winning shots. Failure will come to each and everyone of you no matter how hard you work at something. To quote Star Trek's Captain Picard, "It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness; that is life." I can give you a massive list of times when I felt like I failed. I can tell you how many times I felt disappointed in myself and couldn't find the strength to look at myself in the mirror. However, failure doesn't define you. What will define you is how you respond. Pity parties will keep you in neutral. Picking yourself up and continually moving forward is how you win in life. Believe in something This can be as simple as believing the Detroit Lions will win a Super Bowl. It can be something religious, spiritual or yourself. For me, my belief is summed up by one quote from "Captain America: Civil War". "My faith's in people, I guess. Individuals. And I'm happy to say that, for the most part, they haven't let me down. Which is why I can't let them down either." Belief serves as life's compass. No matter how lost you feel, what you believe in will guide you to wherever you want to go in life. In the past year my belief has taken me to Ford Field for Mid-American Conference's football media day. It took me on a 10-hour round-trip that spanned three states for a New Year's Eve bowl game to end my collegiate writing career. My belief has given me an incredible support system filled with amazing friends and family. But most of all, it gave a small-town farm kid from southwest Michigan his first chance to be a sports reporter while living on the shore of Lake Michigan.

WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Joe Biden declares Russia’s Ukraine war “genocide,” it isn’t just another strong word. Calling a campaign that’s aimed at wiping out a targeted group “genocide” not only increases pressure on a country to act, it can oblige it to. That’s partly because of a genocide treaty approved by the U.N. General Assembly after World War II, signed by the United States and more than 150 other nations.

Russia claimed to have captured Mariupol on Friday in what would be its biggest victory yet in its war with Ukraine, after a nearly three-month siege that reduced much of the strategic port city to a smoking ruin, with over 20,000 civilians feared dead. There was no immediate confirmation from Ukraine. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu reported to President Vladimir Putin the “complete liberation” of the Azovstal steelworks in Mariupol — the last stronghold of Ukrainian resistance — and the city as a whole, spokesman Igor Konashenkov said. Russia’s state news agency RIA Novosti quoted the ministry as saying a total of 2,439 Ukrainian fighters who had been holed up at the steelworks had surrendered since Monday, including over 500 on Friday. The steel mill had been the site of fierce fighting for weeks. The dwindling group of outgunned fighters had held out in the plant, drawing Russian airstrikes, artillery and tank fire, before their government ordered them to abandon its defense and save their lives. The complete takeover of Mariupol gives Putin a badly needed military victory in the war he began on Feb. 24 — a conflict that was supposed to have been a lighting victory for the Kremlin but instead has seen the failure to take the capital of Kyiv, a pullback of forces to refocus on eastern Ukraine, and the sinking of the flagship of Russia’s Black Sea fleet. Still, military analysts said the city’s capture at this point holds more symbolic importance than anything else, since Mariupol was already effectively under Moscow’s control and most of the Russian forces that were tied down by the drawn-out fighting there have already left. In other developments Friday, the West moved to pour billions more in aid into Ukraine and fighting raged in the Donbas, the industrial heartland in eastern Ukraine that Putin is bent on capturing. Russian forces shelled a vital highway and kept up attacks on a key city in the Luhansk region, hitting a school among other sites, Ukrainian authorities said. Luhansk is part of the Donbas. The Kremlin had sought control of Mariupol to complete a land corridor between Russia and the Crimean Peninsula, which it seized from Ukraine in 2014, and free up troops to join the larger battle for control of the Donbas. The city’s loss also deprives Ukraine of a vital seaport. The city endured some of the worst suffering of the war and became a worldwide symbol of defiance. An estimated 100,000 people remained from a prewar population of 450,000, many trapped without food, water, heat or electricity. Relentless bombardment left behind rows and rows of shattered or hollowed-out buildings. A maternity hospital was hit with a lethal Russian airstrike on March 9, producing searing images of pregnant women being evacuated from the place. A week later, about 300 people were reported killed in a bombing of a theater where civilians were taking shelter, although the real death toll could be closer to 600. Officials had written the word “CHILDREN” in Russian on the pavement outside to try to forestall an aerial attack. Satellite images in April showed what appeared to be mass graves just outside Mariupol, where local officials accused Russia of concealing the slaughter by burying up to 9,000 civilians. The imagery showed rows of graves stretching away from an existing cemetery. Mariupol Mayor Vadym Boychenko accused the Russians of “hiding their military crimes” in the mass graves and labeled it “the new Babi Yar” — recalling the ravine in Kyiv where the Nazis massacred nearly 34,000 Ukrainian Jews during World War II. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Monday that the evacuation of his forces from the bunkers and tunnels beneath Azovstal was done to save the lives of the fighters. “Ukraine needs Ukrainian heroes to be alive. It’s our principle,” Zelenskyy said. The Azovstal complex covers 4 square miles and is threaded with about 15 miles of tunnels and bunkers. Earlier in May, hundreds of civilians were evacuated from the plant during humanitarian cease-fires. One civilian evacuee from Azovstal, who made it to the Ukrainian-controlled city of Zaporizhzhia on May 3, said she went to sleep at the plant every night afraid she wouldn’t wake up. “You can’t imagine how scary it is when you sit in the bomb shelter, in a damp and wet basement, and it is bouncing and shaking,” said Elina Tsybulchenko, 54. As the end drew near at Azovstal, wives of fighters who held out at the steelworks spoke emotionally about what may have been their last contact with their husbands. Olga Boiko, wife of a marine, wiped away tears as she said that her husband had written her on Thursday: “Hello. We surrender, I don’t know when I will get in touch with you and if I will at all. Love you. Kiss you. Bye.” Natalia Zaritskaya, wife of another fighter at Azovstal, said that based on the messages she had seen over the past two days, “Now they are on the path from hell to hell. Every inch of this path is deadly.” She said that two days ago, her husband reported that of the 32 soldiers with whom he had served, only eight survived, most of them seriously wounded. While Russia described the troops leaving the steel plant as a mass surrender, the Ukrainians called it a mission fulfilled. They said the fighters tied down Moscow’s forces and hindered their bid to seize the east. Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to Zelenskyy, described the defense of Mariupol as “the Thermopylae of the 21st century” — a reference to one of history’s most glorious defeats, in which 300 Spartans held off a much larger Persian force in 480 B.C. before finally succumbing. In other developments Friday: - The Group of Seven major economies and global financial institutions agreed to provide more money to bolster Ukraine’s finances, bringing the total to $19.8 billion. In the U.S., President Joe Biden was expected to sign a $40 billion package of military and economic aid to Ukraine and its allies. - Russia will cut off natural gas to Finland on Saturday, the Finnish state energy company said, just days after Finland applied to join NATO. Finland had refused Moscow’s demand that it pay for gas in rubles. The cutoff is not expected to have any major immediate effect. Natural gas accounted for just 6% of Finland’s total energy consumption in 2020, Finnish broadcaster YLE said. - A captured Russian soldier accused of killing a civilian awaited his fate in Ukraine’s first war crimes trial. Sgt. Vadim Shishimarin, 21, could get life in prison. - Russian lawmakers proposed a bill to lift the age limit of 40 for Russians volunteering for military service. Currently, all Russian men 18 to 27 must undergo a year of service, though many get college deferments and other exemptions. Heavy fighting was reported Friday in the Donbas, a mostly Russian-speaking expanse of coal mines and factories. “The liberation of the Luhansk People’s Republic is nearing completion,” Russian Defense Minister Shoigu declared, referring to the breakaway state proclaimed by pro-Moscow separatists in 2014 and recognized by the Kremlin. Breaking News Serhiy Haidai, the governor of Luhansk, said Russian forces were especially focused on the Lysychansk-Bakhmut highway, the only road for evacuating people and delivering humanitarian supplies. “The road is extremely important because it’s the only connection to other regions of the country,” he said via email. “The Russians are trying to cut us off from it, to encircle the Luhansk region.” Russian forces shelled the road constantly from multiple directions, but Ukrainian armored transports were still able to get through, Haidai added. Moscow’s troops have been trying for weeks to seize Severodonetsk, a key city in the Donbas. One of Friday’s attacks was on a school in Severodonetsk that was sheltering more than 200 people, many of them children, Haidai said. Three adults were killed, he said on Telegram. Twelve people were killed in Severodonetsk, Haidai said. It was not immediately clear if that included the three at the school. In addition, more than 60 houses were destroyed across the region, he added. Russian forces now control 90 percent of Luhansk, but the attack on Severodonetsk failed — “the Russians suffered personnel losses and retreated,” Haidai said. His account could not be independently verified. Another city, Rubizhne, has been “completely destroyed,” Haidai said. “Its fate can be compared to that of Mariupol.”

The leaked draft Supreme Court document that laid out the case for overturning Roe v. Wade making abortion a constitutional right has provoked an uproar. Abortion advocates are furious that the forthcoming ruling may toss abortion back to the legislatures. Abortion opponents are working furiously to have laws in place at the state level to ban abortions. In either case, the struggle won’t be ending. It will be punted to nearly level of government for the foreseeable future. As we wait for the high court’s final decision in June, we might do well to listen to Getty Israel, the founder and CEO of Sisters in Birth, located in Mississippi. Sisters in Birth exists to help poor and underserved women in the poorest state in the union to give birth to healthy babies and to help mothers find the care they need. In a recent interview, Israel sounded fed up with the swirling national debate. When interviewed on National Public Radio’s “Morning Edition,” Israel did not take the standard NPR line on abortion. She sounded ticked off at everybody. “When we get calls from women — and we do — who are looking for an abortion, the first question I ask is, ‘What’s going on?'” “Because, yes, I want to change her mind. Yes, I want to reduce the abortion rate. That’s a lot of Black lives lost in an era of Black Lives Matter,” she said. “Pro-choice people are willing to wage a war … to protect (Roe v. Wade). But they’re not willing to help create any community-based interventions to address the various underlying risk factors that will lead a woman to look for an abortion,” Israel charged. What’s missing from the national debate, she added, are the voices of women who are considering abortion. “No one ever says, What do you need? What can we do to help improve your life so that you don’t find that you need to have an abortion?” “When a woman is seeking abortion, 9 times out of 10, she is alone,” she continued. “Pro-choice people aren’t walking down the path with her, and neither are the pro-life people, beyond beating her over the head with a Bible and Scripture.” Almost 38% of Mississippians are Black, the highest in the nation. Yet they account for 68% of abortions. Women looking for abortion often work minimum-wage jobs without health insurance. They are beset by poverty and a torn social net. Mississippi also has the highest rate of infant deaths in the first 12 months of life. Sixty percent of those babies are Black, many of whom were born premature. Yet state medical care for pregnant women and for new mothers in poverty is minimal and underfunded. Banning abortion will not make Mississippi a pro-life state. The racist murder of Black shoppers in Buffalo, New York, has transfixed the nation, but Getty Israel is right: Hundreds of thousands of Black babies are being aborted or dying in their first year of life for lack of adequate health care and support. Nationwide there are bold pro-life efforts like the Women’s Care Centers that help expectant mothers, but so much more is needed. Passage of a new child tax credit program is one place to start. Catholic bishops are calling for all Catholic institutions to step up and support moms in need. In the words of the New York bishops, if “every Catholic parish, every Catholic Charities program, every Catholic health facility, every Catholic school, every Catholic college and university” were asking women how they could help, the impact could be culture changing. The challenge is, how do we make this more than just a slogan? Erlandson, director and editor-in-chief of Catholic News Service, can be reached at gerlandson@catholicnews.com.

Documents: Man arrested after using ‘F-word’ around sheriff’s deputy, paid out nearly $50,000 BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C. (WCSC) – A former Lowcountry resident says he was arrested for using a bad word one too many times around a sheriff’s deputy. Now, he’s received a hefty payout. A lawsuit alleges Isaac Johnson III offered to Google the law after Berkeley County Sheriff’s Deputy Steven Gottula said he was on thin ice for his use of the ‘F-word.’ In a settlement between the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office and Johnson, Johnson received a payout of $47,500 in response. It started with Berkeley County deputies responding to Goose Creek High school in regard to calls about Johnson’s girlfriend driving erratically, according to the original lawsuit. While one deputy conducted a field sobriety test on Johnson’s girlfriend, the lawsuit says Deputy Gottula made conversation with Johnson, who could see his girlfriend was crying and upset. During their conversation, the deputy allegedly told Johnson he was on thin ice for his use of the F-word. The suit claims the conversation was calm and non-confrontational, however, Johnson was still placed in handcuffs. Live 5 News has reached out to the sheriff’s office for comment but have yet to hear back. Copyright 2022 WCSC. All rights reserved.

Fernandinho ‘really proud’ of achievements as he prepares for Man City swansong The veteran Brazilian midfielder will leave City nine years following Sunday’s final Premier League game of the season against Aston Villa Fernandinho feels he has achieved everything he intended as he prepares to bid farewell to Manchester City. The veteran Brazilian midfielder will leave City after nine mostly successful years following Sunday’s final Premier League game of the season against Aston Villa. The 37-year-old has won four Premier League titles, six League Cups and one FA Cup since his £30million arrival from Shakhtar Donetsk in the summer of 2013. Champions League success has eluded him, with last year’s runner-up finish the closest he has come to European glory with City, but he does have the chance to sign off with one more Premier League winner’s medal. The champions will retain their crown with victory over Villa at the Etihad Stadium. Reflecting on his time with City, Fernandinho said: “I think one word I can describe it – proud. Since the first day, the intention was to win trophies and then we did it. “The whole group, the whole team and the whole staff were involved and when I look back, I feel really proud. Everything I planned, we did here. “I couldn’t imagine being here for such a long time but, from the first day, they showed us how to win games and trophies. I was sure I was giving 100 per cent to win a lot of trophies. “After the success it was normal to extend with another contract, so I stayed for nine years.” Fernandinho’s early successes with City came under Manuel Pellegrini, but he feels his best football came after Pep Guardiola took over as manager. He said: “When he came I was 30 already, so I’d had good managers in the past, but when I started to work with him, I just started to see football in a different way. “I understand football much better and he makes you see the game in another vision. It was amazing for me and he definitely helped me increase my level and my understanding about football as well.” Fernandinho is set to return to his homeland this summer and has been linked with former club Athletico Paranaense. He will not be forgotten at City, with the club planning a permanent tribute to him, as they have with other past players, at their City Football Academy complex. He said: “My family and I were always treated really well here in Manchester. That is why I spent nine years here. The kids were settled in school with friends and my wife was settled as well. “That was really important to keep me calm to do my job on the pitch. Maybe I could come back here to spend more time in Manchester. We will see.” Join our new commenting forum Join thought-provoking conversations, follow other Independent readers and see their replies Subscribe to Independent Premium to bookmark this article Want to bookmark your favourite articles and stories to read or reference later?

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne’s daughter Aimee was among those who escaped a Hollywood recording studio fire that killed a 26-year-old music producer, Sharon Osbourne and others who work in the space said. Aimee Osbourne's producer also escaped the blaze that erupted late Thursday afternoon in the two story commercial building. It took 78 firefighters more than 50 minutes to extinguish the flames, Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Erik Scott said in a statement. The fire erupted late Thursday afternoon in a two-story commercial building, and it took 78 firefighters more than 50 minutes to extinguish the flames, Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Erik Scott said in a statement. Two people reported respiratory symptoms related to smoke exposure and were evaluated at the scene, but both declined to be taken to a hospital, Scott said. “Sadly, one person was found dead inside, as firefighters searched the structure,” Scott said, adding that no firefighters were injured and the cause of the fire is under investigation. Authorities had not released the identity of the person killed, but friends and others worked in the building told The Los Angeles Times he was 26-year-old Nathan Avery Edwards, who recorded, produced and mixed music under the name Avery Drift. One of the two survivors was the elder daughter of Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne, Sharon Osbourne said in an Instagram post. Aimee Osbourne, 38, and a producer she was working with were “the lucky two that made it out alive,” Sharon Osbourne said, without identifying the producer. “It is utterly heartbreaking that someone lost their life today in this fire & we are sending our prayers to this person & their family,” Osbourne said, adding “our prayers go out to the family and friends of the person that lost their life to this senseless fire.” Aimee Osbourne is a singer who releases electronic pop music under the name ARO, her initials. She did not take part in the Osbourne family’s reality show as her younger siblings Kelly and Jack Osbourne did. Ozzy Osbourne also has three older children from a previous relationship. Jonathan Wellman, who rented a recording space in the building down the hall from Edwards, told the Times he was “a talented young artist, producer, engineer.” The structure houses several recording and rehearsal studios. Wellman, who was in his studio at the time, said the unit where the fire appears to have started was fully engulfed in flames by the time anyone from the building got to it, and it was impossible to try to put it out. A hip-hop artist named Maxxamillion said he lost his entire studio and $50,000 worth of equipment. “I opened the door, I saw smoke coming from across the hall,” he told KABC-TV. “I immediately reached over to grab a jug of water. I threw it at the door, flames bursted. I tried to go back to my room and grab anything I could, but flames were everywhere, and we ran out the building, and that was it.” People inside said they heard no smoke detectors and saw no sprinklers go off. “I was my own smoke detector,” Jamal Davis, who was in his recording studio, told the Times. “I ran to my room and grabbed my stuff and left my door open, trying to call my cats out to follow me.” He tried to go back in to save his four cats, but the smoke was too thick and he lost them all, Davis said. It was not immediately clear if the building had any code violations or citations.

Second Minister for Foreign Affairs Maliki Osman yesterday attended the inauguration ceremony of Timor-Leste President Jose Ramos-Horta and celebrations for the 20th anniversary of the country's independence in Dili. Dr Maliki called on Mr Ramos-Horta, Prime Minister Taur Matan Ruak, and Minister of Education, Youth and Sport Armindo Maia. Timor-Leste's Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation Adaljiza Magno hosted lunch for Dr Maliki. Dr Maliki, who is also Minister in the Prime Minister's Office and Second Minister for Education, conveyed a letter from President Halimah Yacob to Mr Ramos-Horta in which she congratulated her Timor-Leste counterpart and his country on the anniversary of its independence. In her letter, Madam Halimah said Timor-Leste has witnessed "remarkable progress over the past two decades", and expressed confidence that the country would continue to prosper under the leadership of Mr Ramos-Horta. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Singapore and Timor-Leste, she noted. "Bilateral ties between our two countries have grown over the past 20 years, underpinned by our shared perspectives as small states," she said. "Singapore remains committed to support the development journey of Timor-Leste. I am confident that the friendship between our countries will continue to strengthen in the years ahead and bring about mutual benefit for our peoples," Madam Halimah added. Timor-Leste is South-east Asia's youngest country. The former Portuguese colony became independent from Indonesia in 2002. Timor-Leste shares a border, and half the island it sits on, with Indonesia. It has a population of 1.3 million people and has grappled with diversifying its economy and reducing high rates of poverty. Mr Ramos-Horta has said he wants to push for his country to join Asean and eventually become its 11th member.

Vladimir Putin's health has been failing for more than five years, a new investigation into the deteriorating dictator's condition has claimed. The Russian president has vanished from public eye for weeks on end since 2017, it has been suggested. Independent Russian media outlet Proekt carried out the study and scrutinised his absences as well as visits by specialist medics. Hush-hush doctor visits in the past five years prove his health has been getting worse for some time, Express.co.uk report. It comes as former spy Christopher Steele, who ran the Russia desk at MI6 in London, says Putin is seriously ill and is now in need of around-the-clock medical care. He believes the mysterious illness that has plagued the president, 69, has left the Kremlin reeling as they balance dealing with Putin's health and the war in Ukraine. There has been a string of claims about the health of the leader, with some reports suggesting he is suffering from cancer, undergoing chemotherapy and steroid treatment among other ailments. Other reports suggest Putin is suffering from Parkinson's or early-stage dementia. The Proekt investigation found doctors accompanied the ailing leader wherever he went during 2016 and 2017. By comparing doctors’ check-in dates with Putin’s schedule, Proekt found that between five and 13 doctors accompanied Putin at all times. These medics included an Ear Nose and Throat specialist, an infectious disease specialist, a neurosurgeon and an oncologist, among others according to the outlet. In November 2016, Putin disappeared from the public eye for approximately six days and only appeared in pre-recorded meetings according to Proekt. During this time, 12 specialist doctors checked into Sochi hospital, near one of Putin's residences. These doctors included neurosurgeons, his personal doctors and a rehabilitation specialist. The Russian leader then disappeared in August 2017 and again in February 2018. In February, the Kremlin claimed that Putin “had caught a cold”. During the 2017 disappearance, top oncologist-surgeon Evgeny Selivanov began visiting Putin, according to Proekt. The outlet claimed that the cancer-doctor visited the Russian President 35 times in four years, with only ENT specialists seeing him more often., The doctor's thesis is entitled: “Peculiarities of diagnostics and surgical treatment of elderly and senile patients with thyroid cancer”. In 2017, Putin, who is an avid hockey player, fell on the ice during a game. He was able to leave the arena on his own, although an orthopaedic traumatologist known to treat him checked into a hospital near his home following the incident.

Proekt reports that by 2019, Putin had an average of nine doctors accompanying him. Finally, during the Covid pandemic, The New York Times reported Putin was imposing strict quarantine measures on anyone who was due to see him in person. Anyone he met had to isolate for two weeks before meeting the president before walking through a disinfectant tunnel which sprayed them with a sterilising aerosol. The tunnels reportedly shined UV lights to further disinfect visitors. More recently, videos of Putin looking bloated and puffy have further fuelled rumours about his health problems.

VIDEO: Man pulls knife on armed motorcyclist in road rage incident, deputies say SARASOTA, Fla. (Gray News) - Deputies in Florida have a man under arrest in a road rage incident that could have turned deadly. The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office reports deputies were called to an intersection on calls about an armed confrontation on Tuesday. A motorcyclist told deputies that he was cut off while driving by a silver Toyota, and when they stopped, the driver of the Toyota got out of the vehicle and approached him with a knife, according to the sheriff’s office. Authorities said the driver of the Toyota, later identified as 50-year-old Rafael Rivera, stepped aggressively toward the motorcyclist and began slashing a knife at him. The motorcyclist, who has a permit to carry a concealed weapon, then pulled out his firearm in defense and told Rivera to back away, which he did. The confrontation was recorded by the motorcyclist’s wife, who was also a passenger on the bike that afternoon. FCSO deputies said they arrived moments later and arrested Rivera after checking video of the incident and speaking to witnesses. “Traffic disagreements should never result in violence in our streets. In this particular incident, the video captured by the victim’s wife clearly shows that her husband’s life was threatened. I applaud the way the motorcyclist handled this situation,” said Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly. Rivera was taken to a detention facility after the incident. The sheriff’s office reports Rivera has been arrested four times since 2015 on previous charges that involved theft and trespassing. “The offender is lucky he was not shot. I also remind the community to not take traffic enforcement into their own hands and control their anger. Call the sheriff’s office instead,” Staly said. Copyright 2022 Gray Media Group, Inc.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan has said he is waging “war on poisonous air” as he bids to extend the Ultra Low Emission Zone (Ulez) across London. Mr Khan is proposing to extend the scheme’s boundary from the North and South Circular Roads to the whole of Greater London from August 29 next year, and a consultation on the plans has been launched. Drivers of vehicles which do not comply with minimum emissions standards are charged a daily fee of £12.50 for entering the Ulez. The mayor’s office estimated an additional 135,000 vehicles would be affected each day if it is expanded as planned. Some critics argue the move would exacerbate financial issues already faced with the ongoing cost-of-living crisis. Speaking to the PA news agency at City Hall, Mr Khan said: “I’ve got a war on poisonous air. This is a war on climate change, this is a war on congestion to make sure that in London, everybody can breathe clean air. “We’ve seen the benefits of the world’s first ultra low emission zone in central London and in London, we reduced by almost a half, the toxic air.” He said the same progress has not been seen in outer London, most notably in areas in the boroughs of Barnet, Bromley, Croydon and Havering, and that almost half of Londoners do not own a car, meaning the need to target climate issues is even more necessary. Mr Khan’s decision to tackle pollution and climate issues is also a personal one, as he spoke about his experience with asthma. “I’m somebody, who as an adult, got asthma because of the poor quality of air in our city,” he said. “Every year, more than 4,000 Londoners die prematurely because of the air. There are children with stunted lungs forever because of the poor quality of air.” City Hall said all Londoners live in areas that breach the World Health Organisation (WHO) target for particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide, with 500,000 suffering from asthma and a similar number set to develop diseases linked to dirty air over the next 30 years. Harmful emissions could also cost the NHS and social care £10.4bn if no further action is taken, the mayor’s office added. However, some politicians have criticised the consultation plans. Speaking in the Commons on Thursday, transport minister Andrew Stephenson said Mr Khan “must not punish people who need to use their cars, especially at a time when people are struggling with the cost of living”. Whether or not a vehicle is liable for the Ulez charge depends on how much nitrogen dioxide (NO2) it emits. NO2 damages lungs and can exacerbate existing conditions such as asthma and lung and heart disease. For diesel cars to avoid the charge they must generally have been registered after September 2015, while most petrol models registered from 2005 are exempt.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine have affirmed this Friday that around 28,700 Russian soldiers have died since the beginning of the fighting due to the invasion of the country by Russia, triggered on February 24. The General Staff of the Ukrainian Army has indicated that some 200 Russian soldiers have died in the last 24 hours and has added that since the beginning of hostilities, 1,263 battle tanks, 596 artillery systems and 200 self-propelled multiple rocket launchers have also been destroyed and armored. Likewise, it has highlighted that 204 planes, 168 helicopters, 93 anti-aircraft defense systems, 2,162 vehicles and fuel tanks, thirteen boats and 460 drones have also been destroyed, while 103 cruise missiles have been shot down. “The Russian enemy suffered the greatest losses during the last day in the direction of Bahmut,” he stressed in his message. “The data is being updated. Hit the occupier. Let’s win together. Our strength is the truth,” added the Ukrainian Army General Staff. On the other hand, it has detailed in its operational balance of the last day that “the Russian enemy is carrying out an offensive operation in the areas of Lisichansk and Severodonetsk”, located in the province of Lugansk, where the authorities have denounced the death of thirteen people on the last day. Thus, he emphasized that “in the direction of Donetsk, the Russian enemy intensified its offensive and assault operations to improve the tactical situation”, while “in the direction of Liman, the Russian enemy carried out regular artillery attacks, rocket launchers and operational and tactical aircraft to destroy fortifications in the line of contact”. “In the direction of Kharkov, the main efforts of the Russian occupiers have been focused on keeping the borders occupied and trying to counterattack to restore the lost positions,” he said, before adding that the fighting “continues in the area of the Ternov settlements. and Vesele”. “There is a great probability that hostilities will continue to improve the tactical situation and reach the administrative border of the Jerón region”, he warned, before denouncing that “the naval groups of the Russian enemy in the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov continue to block civil shipping.”

Ice cream with a twist on tradition is returning to Toronto Ice cream was a vehicle for confectioner Ed Wong to explore his identity as the son of Chinese immigrants. After a brief hiatus, his East and Southeast Asian flavours are returning to the city. “Wong’s [Ice Cream] was a place for me to explore a lot of my past, explore my roots, take something that was in my culture that was historical that fit my kind of life experience,” Wong told CTV News Toronto. The closure of the four-year-old East Chinatown parlour took place just before Christmas. It differed to the cliché of pandemic-provoked closures, which made the decision that much harder. Instead of an absence of business, Wong was overwhelmed and overworked just as his lease was coming to an end. At 52, when he opened the shop, he had imagined it would be a quiet neighbourhood spot where he would scoop ice cream for kids he would watch grow into adults. But within the first day or two, it was jam-packed. In the final days, customers told Wong why they gravitated to his parlour. “They felt seen because of my ice cream,” Wong said. “They saw their culture in my ice cream and it helped them feel seen.” To their relief, Wong is partnering with Basil Box to offer somewhere between two and 10 of his original flavours at most of their locations by mid-July. This season, Wong’s won’t be scooped. Instead, it will be packaged. But moving forward, it’s not out of the question, he says. Wong’s Ice Cream (Wong’s Ice Cream Ltd.) So far, only one flavour has been solidified on the list. “Definitely the black sesame salted duck egg,” Wong said. For Wong, the flavour steeped mostly strongly in childhood memory is the Hong Kong milk tea, reminiscent of sipping his mother's tea brimming with milk and sugar. In the early 1950s, his parents immigrated to Canada from China’s Guangdong province virtually penniless, knowing little English, he explained. Wong’s Ice Cream (Wong’s Ice Cream Ltd.) “Children of immigrants often feel like they have their feet in two different worlds. One of their parents that goes back to a place they weren’t born. And then of course, the culture in which they are in fact born and are influenced by. I’m very typical in that sense,” Wong said, nodding to his Scarborough upbringing in the ‘80s. “Ice cream,” he said, “was an interesting way for me to blend the two together.

News Top prospect Adley Rutschman will be called up when Orioles ‘feel like he’s ready,’ manager Brandon Hyde says The crystal ball predictions of a Monday call-up for catcher Adley Rutschman fell through, as did any guesses that baseball’s top prospect would arrive in Baltimore to play for the Orioles on Friday. Instead, Rutschman is still with Triple-A Norfolk in Charlotte, North Carolina. The timetable for Rutschman’s impending promotion for a major league debut is uncertain, although the clamoring from fans only grows by the day as he remains a minor leaguer. Manager Brandon Hyde said Friday, though, that calling up Rutschman will be independent of how the Orioles’ current catchers, Robinson Chirinos and Anthony Bemboom, are playing. “The decision with Adley is going to be about Adley,” Hyde said. “They will call him up when they feel like he’s ready. It has nothing to do with how our guys are doing behind the plate, because they’ve done an absolutely fantastic job handling our pitchers.” Rutschman, 24, might have made the opening day roster if he hadn’t suffered a tricep injury as major league spring training got underway. That setback required the No. 1 overall draft pick in 2019 out of Oregon State to ramp up again, and he’s done it over the last month with time in High-A, Double-A and Triple-A. Rutschman played catcher three straight days between Tuesday and Thursday for the first time this season, although he’s out of the lineup entirely Friday for the Tides — likely a standard off day after a heavy workload. With the Tides, Rutschman is hitting .233 but has slugged three homers, including on Tuesday and Wednesday. In 43 Triple-A games in 2021, Rutschman hit .312. Chirinos and Bemboom have offered little offensive upside this season, barring the two-run home run by Chirinos on Thursday — his first of the year. Chirinos entered Friday with a .147 batting average, while Bemboom sits at .118. But pitchers have continually praised the pair and credit them with helping increase the staff’s strike percentage. “We’re extremely pleased with both guys,” Hyde said. “Unbelievably professional. Robby’s got a big track record. He’s caught in a lot of huge games and has done it for a long time. And Bemboom’s come as advertised, as just a defensive guy, off-the-charts makeup, he puts a ton of pride in putting a zero up every inning. So I’ve been really, really pleased with what we’ve done behind the plate. But the decision with Adley is going to be ultimately with when they feel like he’s ready.” When Rutschman arrives, either Bemboom or Chirinos will likely make way. “That’s going to be challenging,” Hyde said. “That’s going to be hard, because they’ve been ultimate team guys. And it’s going to be hard to see one of them go.” Around the horn >> Ryan Mountcastle said he is in line to return to the Orioles’ lineup Saturday when he’s eligible to be removed from the 10-day injured list. When swinging a bat the past few days, Mountcastle said he hasn’t felt the forearm pain that beleaguered him during the road trips in St. Louis and Detroit. >> Left-hander Logan Allen, who was designated for assignment earlier this week to make room for left-hander Nick Vespi on the 40-man roster, cleared waivers and was assigned to Triple-A Norfolk. () News Heat get encouraging news: Lowry, Tucker listed as questionable for Game 3 vs. Celtics Rarely has “questionable” carried such hope for the Miami Heat as it did when the team issued its injury report Friday for Saturday’s 8:30 p.m. Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Boston Celtics at TD Garden. Point guard Kyle Lowry, who has missed seven of the past nine games with a strained left hamstring, including the past three, was upgraded to questionable, traveling with the team to Boston. Just as encouraging was the listing of power forward P.J. Tucker as questionable a day after he left the Heat’s Game 2 blowout loss at FTX Arena with a knee irritation. The Heat, in fact, could be whole for the first time in weeks, with the only two other players on the team’s injury report both expected to play. For now, the Heat are listing both Max Strus and Gabe Vincent as questionable with hamstring strains, with neither having missed time with those ailments. Similarly, the Celtics’ injury report was reduced. Guard Marcus Smart and big man Al Horford, who both missed Boston’s Game 1 road loss, no longer are listed. Smart had been out with a midfoot sprain and Horford had been in NBA health-and-safety protocols, before both returned in Game 2. Only seldom-used guard Sam Hauser is on Boston’s injury report, out due to a shoulder issue. Getting Lowry back would allow coach Erik Spoelstra to shift Vincent back to the second unit. Should Tucker play on, after exiting Game 2 in the third quarter, it would not require turning to Markieff Morris or Caleb Martin as the starting power forward. Lowry initially was injured April 22, in the third game of the Heat’s opening-round 4-1 win over the Atlanta Hawks. He then missed four games before coming back to play two games in the East semifinals against the Philadelphia 76ers, with the Heat losing both of those before closing out the 76ers 4-2. Lowry’s absence was amplified by Thursday’s breakout return of Smart, who closed with 24 points, 12 assists and nine rebounds in Boston’s 127-102 Thursday victory that evened the best-of-seven series at 1-1. Asked after Thursday night’s loss if he had an update on Lowry, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra only said, “still don’t.” A team spokesman then added, “He’s making progress,” with the Heat taking Friday off ahead of Saturday night’s game at TD Garden. “Progress” ultimately came with the issuing of the status of “questionable.” As for Tucker, Spoelstra merely pointed Thursday to the resilience of his starting power forward. “If you ask him,” Spoelstra said, “he says he’s good to go. We’ll just have to see. I’ll talk to the trainers.” Heat forward Jimmy Butler had been optimistic about Tucker. “I think he’ll be all right,” Jimmy Butler said. “If he’s not ready to go, though, everybody else has to be ready to go. Those are some even bigger shoes to have to fill, because he does it on the defensive end. We’re capable of it, though.” Butler had spoken after Thursday’s loss of changing his approach if Lowry did not return. “You know, I’ve got to basically do Kyle’s job and make sure guys are in spots where they can be comfortable and be the most successful,” Butler said. “That’s on me. I don’t think that’s on Spo.” The question becomes how much of Butler the Heat can continue to ask or require. “I think I got a bit selfish on the offensive end,” Butler said of his 70-point start over the series’ first two games. “I got to look to use my teammates. They have been there for me all year long and I got to get back to that because whenever they are scoring, whenever they are aggressive, we are a much better team.” () - News2 weeks ago Saints’ Derek Fisher, a World Series winner, keeps his focus on future - HEALTH4 weeks ago Benefits of Ayurvedic Back Pain Treatments - HEALTH4 weeks ago Primary Knowledge About Abortion - HEALTH4 weeks ago Benefits and Trends of Digital Transformation in Healthcare Industry - startup4 weeks ago How Is Project Management Changing in 2022: Key Trends - HEALTH3 weeks ago 7 Health Benefits of Vitamin B12 - HEALTH3 weeks ago Anxiety Management Tips That Will Make A Difference - HEALTH3 weeks ago Are DNA Tests Fake?
