For one week only, you will have a chance to bid on a one-of-one, official collectible comic book featured in the Planet Money Buys A Superhero series episode, "PM Live: The Most Collectible Comic Book Ever?" As documented in that episode, this collectible edition of our Micro-Face comic book incorporates as many "collectible lessons" as we could apply to one book.

Now to the fun stuff. Micro-Face: Origins Edition features...
An embossed variant cover by interior artist Jamal Igle.
A one-of-a-kind audio message – from Micro-Face himself! – that plays when the comic book is opened to the center page.
The official foil seal of Planet Money's real shell corporation: Delawho?, LLC (as featured in the comic book as well as episode 390 of Planet Money, "We Set Up An Offshore Company In A Tax Haven").
A signed, numbered and authenticated piece of the material used by Planet Money to create Micro-Mask sound effects in the radio drama PREMIERE of Micro-Face in episode three of our superhero series.
A "certified burned, pod-used material" seal that requires some explaining: To ensure real scarcity, we burned the excess podcast-used Micro-Mask material from above. Then, inspired by the band KISS's 1977 comic book, we mixed those ashes with red paint and hand-painted a red ash-flame onto the yellow and gold-foiled seal seen on the back of the comic book.

The AirPods through which Planet Money first told writer Alex Segura the name "Micro-Face"... and through which Alex told Planet Money "that is an unfortunate name." (As heard in episode three of our superhero series.) AirPods case is autographed by Alex Segura. Please note the AirPods are now broken.
A collectors edition sketch of the infamous radio interview scene from Planet Money's comic book. Discussed in the episode titled, "Finally, Our Comic Book," this panel is part of a probably-too-long-but-VERY-accurate radio interview scene that contributed to our comic book's many delays. Based off of Jamal Igle's original pencils, this sketch was made by host Kenny Malone. He trained a Cricut robot to hold a silver Sharpie and draw things.
And, of course, the briefcase is included. Featuring a hand-made, in-laid label that reads: Micro-Face: Origins Editions.

Texas sales tax holiday: Save some green on these energy-efficient products this weekend
For three days this Memorial Day weekend, Texans can take advantage of the second of this year's three sales tax holidays. Last month, you could buy emergency supplies tax-free, and most school supplies will see a similar discount in August. But from Saturday through Monday, shoppers can save money on certain items carrying an Energy Star logo or the WaterSense logo.
“Anyone who’s lived through a Texas summer knows triple-digit temperatures, outdated water systems and inefficient appliances can put a strain on our water supplies and power grids,” Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar said on his office's website. “By taking advantage of these sales tax holidays, Texans can make upgrades that will help alleviate those pressures and lower their utility bills — while saving money on state and local sales taxes.”
Previous coverage:Texans can save on these emergency supplies during this weekend's sales tax holiday
Texans are expected to save about $14 million this year in state and local sales taxes during the weekend on purchases of water-saving and energy-efficient products.
According to the comptroller's website, you can buy qualifying products in-store, online, by telephone, mail, custom order or any other means, as long as the sale of the item occurs during the tax-free period.
Energy Star tax holiday items
According to the Texas comptroller’s office, you can buy an unlimited number of qualifying items and you don’t need an exemption certificate. You can buy, rent or lease only these Energy Star-labeled items tax-free:
- Air conditioners (with a price of $6,000 or less)
- Refrigerators (with a price of $2,000 or less)
- Ceiling fans
- Incandescent and fluorescent light bulbs
- Clothes washers
- Dishwashers
- Dehumidifiers
Not qualifying: These items might carry the Energy Star label, but they DON’T qualify for the exemption and remain taxable:
- Water heaters
- Clothes dryers
- Freezers
- Stoves
- Attic fans
- Heat pumps
- Wine refrigerators
- Kegerators
- Beverage chillers
Water-efficient tax holiday items
As with the Energy Star program, the number of qualifying water-efficient items you can buy is unlimited. Any product that displays a WaterSense label or logo is tax-free, but you also can buy these water-efficient and water-conserving products tax-free if used for your residence:
- Soaker or drip-irrigation hoses
- Moisture control for a sprinkler or irrigation system
- Mulch
- Rain barrels or alternative rain and moisture collection systems
- Permeable ground cover surface that allows water to reach underground basins, aquifers or water collection points
- Plants, trees and grasses
- Water-saving surfactants
- Soil and compost
If delivery, shipping and handling or installation charges are part of the nontaxable item’s price, those charges are not taxable. But for air conditioners and refrigerators that have a price cap, you have to look at the item's total sales price, including extra costs, to determine whether you can buy it tax-free.

Bill Self compares Kansas' 2008 and 2022 titles, talks players' pro options during Hawk Talk
LAWRENCE — During a celebratory, national championship edition of Hawk Talk on Thursday, Kansas men’s basketball coach Bill Self’s reflection on the Jayhawks’ latest title led to a comparison to the one they won in 2008.
Self said that when they won that championship, a bit more than a decade ago, he felt as if they celebrated too much. By the time August came around that year, he didn’t think they’d capitalized on their immediate success like they should have. This year, Self said, they’ve tried to do a better job of that.
Self also said that this year’s celebration, and the euphoria that comes with winning a title, has exceeded that of 2008. He mused that it might be because back in 2008 he felt as if they always knew that could happen. This past season, after the regular season loss against Kentucky, he didn’t think a championship like that was in store.
►RELATED:Kansas men’s basketball, football scheduling information released for upcoming seasons
►RELATED:Kansas basketball’s Christian Braun will remain in NBA draft process, not return to college
But, clearly, that title ended up coming the Jayhawks’ way after their victory in New Orleans against North Carolina in April. While it’s all been a little unexpected for Self, he did think his team started to build momentum in the Big 12 Conference tournament — which Kansas won. Then the Jayhawks received what Self considered a favorable draw in the NCAA Tournament, and took care of business.
“It’s been a fun ride, and I know our guys have enjoyed it and the guys have benefited individually off of it as well — which is always a goal, that you want everybody to benefit and, if you win enough, the pie is big enough for everybody,” Self said. “And everybody’s benefited in their own personal way, in different ways. And so, it’s been great.”
Self reiterated that there’s a lot of work left to do, in order to capitalize off of the success they’ve been able to enjoy. Before he got back to that work, though, he also discussed a number of different topics related to Kansas’ national championship team.
Where this Kansas basketball team ranks among the best
Self said this most recent Jayhawks team should be remembered as one of the best teams in program history because, while it may not have been as talented as some in the past, this one delivered on a national title. There have been a number of high-profile squads, both before Self took over and after, but not many have enjoyed the highs the 2021-22 unit did. Self noted that the 2008 team might have had more talent, but the 2022 team benefited from intangibles at a different level.
“It’s more than chemistry. It’s not having to deal with anything that didn’t have anything to do with winning or losing basketball games,” Self said. “It’s never having a situation where you felt like that one guy didn’t have both feet in. It’s never having to worry about if kids would compete, and when I’m talking about compete, be as into it from a strategy standpoint, a scouting report standpoint, a getting treatment standpoint, a getting rest standpoint. There was never a doubt that any of those guys weren’t going to do what they should be doing to give us the best chance to win.”
Self indicated that jealousy was never something he had to worry about this past season. He said there wasn’t one time, for the first time, that he talked with a player or the team about how an agent was trying to advise them on what they needed to do to play better or what they needed to do to impress during the NCAA Tournament. Self praised the team’s alignment.
Bill Self appreciates how people have treated his father’s memory
This past season, the Lawrence and greater Kansas Jayhawks community rallied around Self and his family after the death of his father. As that occurred, a quote that Self said his father used to say to him became attached to the team. That quote was, “Don’t worry about the mules, just load the wagon.”
Self allowed that, during the season, he didn’t notice that much that was being done and said around it all. While he’d learn about things from his family, see some T-shirts and notice the “Just load the wagon” banner inside Allen Fieldhouse, he explained that he was just so locked into the tasks at hand. But Self added as well that he knows it would have meant a lot to his dad.
Self said that what made his dad great, from a coach’s perspective, was the ability to never panic in big moments. Self’s dad may have focused incessantly on the little things, like a missed curfew, but the former forever holds true. And Self thinks he coaches that way with his players.
Bill Self updates what certain athletes are considering professionally
Self also touched on what some of his athletes, specifically Remy Martin, David McCormack, Ochai Agbaji, Christian Braun, Jalen Wilson, Mitch Lightfoot and Jalen Coleman-Lands, are potentially looking at when it comes to their professional careers.
With Martin, whom Self described as providing Kansas the spark to take this season to a special place, there is the aim to play professionally somewhere. While Self said that Martin still isn’t quite at 100% health-wise, that is the path Martin is pursuing. Self outlined how he thought a good option for Martin could be playing in the Philippines, because of the connection Martin has there and the potential that Martin could be the highest-paid player in the league there.
With McCormack, whose performances in the Final Four Self praised, Self said he could end up going overseas to play. But, Self also said that McCormack has a legitimate chance to be a two-way player in the NBA. Either choice would allow McCormack to make a quality living.
Self said Agbaji has played himself into likely being a lottery pick in the upcoming NBA Draft, and that Braun might now be a first-round selection, too. The team is still waiting for a final decision from Wilson, who has the option to return to college and whom Self thinks has helped himself tremendously with his performances during the draft process so far. Self isn’t quite sure what’s next for Coleman-Lands at this point, and didn’t rule out the G League for Lightfoot while also alluding to overseas options.
“We should wish them to do what’s best for their life,” Self said. “And I think they’ll all make good decisions.”

East Belfast: Three arrested after £200k drug raid
- Published
Police investigating suspected drugs criminality linked to the East Belfast UVF have seized cocaine, with an estimated street value of £200,000.
Three men, aged 41, 55 and 64, were arrested after drugs and cash were found during searches on Friday.
The arrests were part of a Paramilitary Crime Task Force investigation.
Two of the men - aged 41 and 64 - were arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of a Class A controlled drug.
The 55-year-old was arrested on suspicion of possession of a Class A controlled drug and possession of a Class A controlled drug with intent to supply.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) described the operation as a "substantial and significant seizure of harmful Class A drugs, which have now been safely removed from our streets and community."
Det Insp Maguire said: "Those involved with illicit drugs are putting money straight into the hands of paramilitaries, whose only concern is financial gain and control.
"They care nothing about those lives and relationships that get ruined along the way."
The PSNI thanked local people for their continued support and appealed for anyone for information to get in touch. | https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-northern-ireland-61613961 | 2022-05-27T18:33:38Z | https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-northern-ireland-61613961 | true | 3 |
(KTLA) — A man suspected of carjacking an 81-year-old woman who was feeding homeless people in California has been arrested, police said Thursday.
The incident was reported at about 3:30 p.m. Monday in the parking lot of a Stater Bros. store in Redlands.
Nina Steinman told Redlands police she had been in the parking lot to provide meals to homeless people in the area, something she’s been doing since January.
While Steinman was handing out the last of the food she’d made herself from her open trunk, the suspect allegedly forcefully took the keys from her and got into the driver’s seat of her vehicle, police said.
Video released by police showed that Steinman managed to open the door after the carjacker got in, but the man shut it and she was not able to open it again.
“Let me tell you, I’m not afraid,” Steinman told KTLA. “I was going to grab his shirt and just drag that little puppy right out of the front seat, but I couldn’t get the door open.”
The suspect then drove off while Steinman was still holding onto the driver’s door, and she was knocked to the ground.
She was not injured but was left with bruises on her arm and without her wallet and purse.
Steinman said she had to change her locks because she was afraid the man would break into her home.
The man was then seen entering the westbound 10 Freeway, with the rear hatch of the stolen vehicle still open, police said.
Los Angeles Police Department officers spotted the stolen vehicle, a 2015 Kia Sportage, in a parking structure in downtown Los Angeles on Wednesday evening.
The driver was identified as 24-year-old Roberto Carlos Sanchez Jr. and he was arrested on suspicion of being in possession of a stolen vehicle, police said.
Redlands police later confirmed that Sanchez is suspected of a carjacking at the parking lot in Redlands.
He was transported to West Valley Detention Center in San Bernardino, California, where he was being held on suspicion of carjacking and elder abuse. His bail was set at $250,000.
Steinman had planned to go to Los Angeles on Thursday to recover her stolen vehicle, which was still driveable, she told KTLA. | https://www.wtnh.com/news/national/caught-on-video-man-carjacks-81-year-old-woman-who-was-feeding-homeless/ | 2022-05-27T18:33:55Z | https://www.wtnh.com/news/national/caught-on-video-man-carjacks-81-year-old-woman-who-was-feeding-homeless/ | false | 22 |
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) — Several public school teachers in Rochester were put on leave after exchanging text messages that made "racist and demeaning” references to students, officials said Friday.
The Democrat and Chronicle reported the teachers worked at Enrico Fermi School 17, which has a large percentage of Black and Hispanic students in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade.
“I am horrified at the racist and demeaning references and language used to describe children … our children! The staff members have been put on leave and the District will use all forms of available discipline up to and including termination,” Rochester City School District Superintendent Lesli Myers-Small said in a prepared statement.
Students discovered a series of texts, including one containing an obscenity that wished one girl would beat another up. Another obscene text suggested an automated call that insulted children and their parents, according to the newspaper.
The discovery comes weeks after Rochester school officials said they were investigating allegations that a white teacher told his seventh-grade class of mostly Black students to pick seeds out of cotton and put on handcuffs during lessons on slavery.
Rochester Teachers Association President Adam Urbanski said he did not know how many teachers had been accused in this latest episode.
“I want to make it clear that we strongly believe that everyone, and especially our students, are entitled to be treated with dignity and respect,” he said. “We are also committed to fairness and due process and the investigation is still ongoing.” | https://www.wgrz.com/article/news/education/several-teachers-in-rochester-put-on-leave-after-offensive-texts-education/71-ec2eff6f-e2ee-426d-932b-7ccba34cd1c6 | 2022-05-27T18:34:31Z | https://www.wgrz.com/article/news/education/several-teachers-in-rochester-put-on-leave-after-offensive-texts-education/71-ec2eff6f-e2ee-426d-932b-7ccba34cd1c6 | false | 32 |

Robert Firmino says he would like to stay at Liverpool despite speculation linking him with a move away from Anfield.
Firmino, 30, only has a year left on his contract and has become a bit-part player this season, making just 20 appearances in the Premier League.
A lack of game-time was reportedly frustrating the Brazilian as he sought a fresh start to relaunch his career, while Liverpool were believed to be thinking of cashing in on the forward.
However, speaking to TNT Sport, the Brazilian quashed talk of an exit, describing Liverpool as a ‘great club’.
He said: ‘I’m very happy here. I’m grateful to God that I’m here playing for a great club with great players, winning titles. And my will is to stay.
‘My wish is to stay here. I want to be here. I’m happy here. So that’s all I can say, I want to stay.’
Firmino has been one of Liverpool’s key players under Jurgen Klopp, forming part of a memorable front three alongside Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.
In 326 appearances for the Reds, he has scored 98 goals, while he has helped the Merseyside club win four major trophies.
However, the arrivals of Diogo Jota and Luiz Diaz in the last two years have resulted in Firmino slipping down the pecking order.
With Mane and Salah’s contracts also running out next year, it remains to be seen whether Liverpool are keen to give all three players new deals.
Jurgen Klopp has been praised for building a depth to Liverpool’s squad but the German has found it hard to keep all of his players happy.
Divock Origi is set to leave for AC Milan, while Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could also be allowed to depart this summer.
Meanwhile, Takumi Minamino’s future is up in the air, with the Japanese international regularly failing to make Liverpool’s bench.

Aspen Technology (AZPN) Up 17.6% Since Last Earnings Report: Can It Continue?
A month has gone by since the last earnings report for Aspen Technology (AZPN). Shares have added about 17.6% in that time frame, outperforming the S&P 500.
Will the recent positive trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Aspen Technology due for a pullback? Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at its most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important drivers.
Aspen Q3 Earnings Top Estimates
Aspen Technology reported third-quarter fiscal 2022 non-GAAP earnings of $1.38 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.5%. The company reported non-GAAP earnings of $1.05 per share in the year-ago quarter.
Revenues of $187.8 million missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.9%. The company reported revenues of $162.7 million in the year-ago quarter.
The company also announced that it was on track to complete the Emerson acquisition and the shareholder meeting was to be on May 16, 2022 for the same.
In October 2021, Aspen Technology and Emerson inked an agreement. Per the terms, Aspen will be integrated with Emerson’s OSI Inc and the Geological Simulation Software business to form a new company.
In the quarter under review, total bookings (reported under topic 606) were $207 million, up 18% year over year.
Quarter in Detail
License revenues (69.3% of revenues) were up 18.1% year over year to $130 million.
Maintenance revenues (26.6%) rose 9% year over year to $50 million.
Services and other revenues (4.1%) rose 14.4% from the year-ago quarter’s figure to $7.7 million.
As of Mar 31, 2022, the annual spend (which Aspen Technology defines as the annualized value of all term license and maintenance contracts at the end of the quarter) amounted to $655 million, up 7.4% year over year and 2.4% quarter over quarter.
Margins
Gross profit increased 18.7% year over year to $174.1 million. As a percentage of total revenues, the figure expanded 260 basis points (bps) on a year-over-year basis to 92.7%.
Total operating expenses increased 20% from the year-ago quarter’s figure to $93.4 million due to higher spending related to buyout and integration planning expenses regarding the pending Emerson acquisition.
Non-GAAP operating income totaled $102.5 million compared with $80.9 million reported in the prior-year quarter. Non-GAAP operating margin was 54.6% compared with the 49.7% operating margin reported in the year-ago quarter.
Balance Sheet & Cash Flow
As of Mar 31, 2022, cash and cash equivalents were $285.2 million compared with $211.4 million as of Dec 31, 2021. The company’s total borrowings, net of debt issuance costs, stood at $279.4 million as of Mar 31, 2022.
The company generated $81.1 million in cash from operations compared with $41.3 million in the previous quarter. Non-GAAP free cash flow was $89.2 million in the fiscal third quarter.
Fiscal 2022 View
For fiscal 2022, Aspen Technology expects revenues in the range of $737-$754 million.
The company expects an annual spend growth rate of 7-8%, while total bookings are projected in the range of $814-$840 million.
Non-GAAP net income is anticipated in the range of $5.33-$5.50 per share compared with the earlier guidance of $5.23-$5.39 per share.
Management now projects non-GAAP operating income in the range of $404-$416 million versus the earlier projected range of $397-$409 million. Non-GAAP total expenses are projected to be between $333 million and $338 million.
Free cash flow is anticipated to be at least $285 million against the earlier guidance of $280-$290 million.
How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?
In the past month, investors have witnessed an upward trend in fresh estimates.
The consensus estimate has shifted 11.56% due to these changes.
VGM Scores
At this time, Aspen Technology has a subpar Growth Score of D, a grade with the same score on the momentum front. Charting a somewhat similar path, the stock was allocated a grade of F on the value side, putting it in the lowest quintile for this investment strategy.
Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of F. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.
Outlook
Estimates have been trending upward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions looks promising. It comes with little surprise Aspen Technology has a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). We expect an above average return from the stock in the next few months.
Just Released: The Biggest Tech IPOs of 2022
For a limited time, Zacks is revealing the most anticipated tech IPOs expected to launch this year.

PITTSBURGH, May 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- "I'm a surgical and supply technician and I thought there could be a better way to move a patient's hospital bed and IV pole," said an inventor, from Daytona Beach, Fla., "so I invented the CAM CLAMP. My design ensures that patients requiring IV poles could be more easily maneuvered in their hospital beds for surgery or tests."
The patent-pending invention provides an effective way to secure a mobile IV stand to a hospital bed. In doing so, it enhances safety and maneuverability within a medical facility. It also increases control and it eliminates the need to struggle when moving the bed and pole. The invention features a versatile design that is easy to use and sanitize so it is ideal for medical facilities. Additionally, it is producible in design variations.
The original design was submitted to the Orlando sales office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers.

HELENA, Mont. - Montana Superintendent of Public Instruction, Elsie Arntzen, was issued a citation for passing a school bus while its stop sign was deployed and children were getting on.
The Helena Police Department (HPD) reports that on May 19, a traffic complaint reported a red Chevy Colorado approached the bus from behind while flashing lights and the stop sign sidearm was deployed.
It was reported the Chevy passed the bus while children were loading onto it.
The bus driver gave the vehicle license plate and the driver of the Chevy was identified as Arntzen.
A witness statement and video surveillance from the bus were also provided to police.
An officer made contact with Arntzen on Thursday, May 26, to speak with her, and at the conclusion of the investigation, HPD says it was determined there was probable cause to charge Arntzen with violating Montana Code Annotated 61-8-351, meeting or passing a school bus.
Arntzen was issued a citation and referred to the City of Helena Municipal Court.
We reached out to the Montana Office of Public Instruction and received the following statement from their Communications Director, Brian O’Leary:
“We were informed that a citation would be issued, even though we have not been able to view the video in question. We were also informed that the video does not show the license plate of the vehicle involved. That being said Superintendent Arntzen would like to thank the bus driver for his vigilance. This is a good reminder for all of us to slow down from life’s daily distractions, and to pay extra careful attention, especially as we enter the busy summer season.”

The energy-hungry nation expects local coal supply to fall 42.5 million tonnes short of demand in the September quarter, 15% higher than previously projected, due to higher growth in power demand and lower output from some mines.
The grim forecast shows the extent of the fuel shortage in India, at a time when annual power demand is seen growing at the fastest rate in at least 38 years and global coal prices are trading at near-record levels due to a supply crunch resulting from the Russia-Ukraine crisis.
India has stepped up pressure on utilities to increase imports in recent days, warning of cuts to supply of domestically mined coal if power plants do not build up coal inventories through imports.
However, one of the slides in the presentation showed that most states had yet to award contracts to import coal and that Indian utilities would run out of coal by July if no coal was imported.
Only one state had awarded a contract to import coal as of end-April, a power ministry import status report reviewed by Reuters showed.
India expects domestic coal supply of 154.7 million tonnes, 42.5 million tonnes short of the projected requirement of 197.3 million tonnes in the September quarter, the presentation showed. It previously expected a shortage of 37 million tonnes.
The presentation was made on Friday in a virtual meeting in which the federal coal and power ministers were present, with top energy officials from the federal government and the states in attendance, according to two government officials familiar with the matter.
The federal coal and power ministries did not immediately respond to a request seeking comment. Details on the presentation have not been previously reported.
Coal inventories at power plants have declined by about 13% since April, which translates to eight days of coal requirement, the lowest level at this time of the year in at least nine years. The higher coal demand could also stifle efforts to build power plant inventories.
India now expects the demand for coal from utilities to be 784.6 million tonnes for the year ending March 2023, the presentation showed, 3.3% higher than projected earlier.
The projected annual coal shortage is now 49.3 million tonnes, nearly three times the 17.7 million tonnes projected earlier, the presentation showed.
India reconciled its coal demand projections after higher-than-expected power demand growth in April, when electricity use hit a record high due to soaring temperatures.
Many states on Friday called for the federal government-run Coal India to import coal in bulk and distribute it among the states, the officials said.
States cited high global prices and supply challenges to seek aggregated imports, the officials said, adding that the coal minister had told states the demand would be considered.
Higher imports could put further pressure on state-government-owned power distribution companies, which are already saddled with debt and owe billions of dollars to generators as they have historically absorbed higher input costs to keep tariffs steady.
Coal India did not immediately respond to a request seeking comment. The world's largest miner has not imported coal in the recent years.

An Oregon District dining staple, Thai 9, is up for sale after 19 years.
Rob Strong, who owns the restaurant with his wife, Nongyaw, told Dayton.com that they are ready to retire.
“It’s just time,” Strong said. “We want to retire and travel some more.”
Strong said he and his wife had been thinking about retiring the last few years, but they wanted to make sure their business survived the coronavirus pandemic before they put it on the market.
The 9,718 square-foot restaurant that sits on about 0.2 acres is for sale for $3.3 million. This includes the sale of the business, building, land, furniture, fixtures, equipment and a D5 liquor license with Sunday sales, according to the listing on LoopNet.
Thai 9 seats over 300 guests with an outdoor two-story patio.
Strong described the building and the business as a packaged deal.
“We would preferably like them to keep it as Thai 9 and keep all the employees as well, Strong said.
Kelly Gray, the senior vice president of sales and leasing at Equity, said the business has been for sale for about two weeks. She said there has been interest in the restaurant, but she does not have any offers.
Thai 9 offers authentic Thai cuisine, traditional sushi, sashimi and an extensive wine, craft beer and spirits list.
For almost two decades, the restaurant has remained a standard of quality dining in Dayton, in large part because of Nongyaw.
Strong described his wife as the heart of Thai 9.
“It’s her recipes. It’s her passion,” he said.
Last year, Thai 9 earned several first-place finishes in our Best of Dayton contest including Best Asian Food, Best Sushi and Best Thai Food. It also earned second place in Best Restaurant in the Oregon District.
Strong said deciding to retire was a hard decision for him and his wife because their employees and customers are like family.
“We want to thank everyone for the many years of patronage and hopefully it will stay the same and they will be able to get the same service and quality of food,” Strong said.
Strong is also the owner of Canal Street Arcade and Deli, located at 308 E. First Street in Dayton. He said he does not have plans to sell that business.

While Europe shuns Russian oil amid sanctions and expectations of an oil embargo on Russian oil imports, India and China have stepped up purchases and are importing record volumes of Russian crude, according to data from energy analytics company Kpler cited by Bloomberg on Friday.
Russia had up to 79 million barrels of crude either traveling on tankers or held in floating storage over the past week, Kpler’s estimates have shown. That’s more than double the 27 million barrels of crude Russia had seaborne in February, just before Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
Russia jumps to 4th position as oil supplier to India
Before the war, Russia was primarily selling its crude to Europe, but this is no longer the case after buyers, governments, international trading houses, and oil majors are all avoiding dealing with Russian oil, all the more so given the EU sanctions ban on bank transactions with the biggest Russian oil producers, including Rosneft. Trade majors have now wound down purchases of Russia’s oil.
But China and India aren’t shying away from Russian crude, although some Chinese state giants haven’t ramped up imports of spot cargoes from Russia despite the steep discounts at which Russian oil is selling.
In India, cheap Russian crude oil is attracting India’s price-sensitive buyers to the point that Russia became the fourth largest oil supplier to India in April, moving up from the 10th place in March, according to shipment-tracking data compiled by Reuters.
The significant increase in India’s purchases of Russian crude has already drawn the attention of the United States, which has reportedly sent a U.S. federal government official to discuss U.S. sanctions on Russia and try to convince India to reduce its purchases of Russian oil.
China, for its part, registered in April its first annual increase in crude oil imports since January as shipments rebounded on the back of higher arrivals from Russia, analysts say.
“Some of the interested buyers in Asia are more motivated by economics rather than taking a political stand,” Jane Xie, a senior oil analyst at Kpler in Singapore, told Bloomberg. | https://www.brecorder.com/news/40176120/russia-sends-record-volumes-of-oil-to-india-china-report | 2022-05-27T18:59:48Z | https://www.brecorder.com/news/40176120/russia-sends-record-volumes-of-oil-to-india-china-report | true | 4 |

The company had posted a consolidated PAT of Rs 1,928 crore in the year-ago quarter.
Hindalco’s scrip jumped to a high of Rs 426.85 as against Rs 407.75 at the previous close on the BSE.
Consolidated revenue for the fourth quarter rose 38 per cent to Rs 55,764 crore compared with Rs 40,507 crore in the corresponding quarter last year.
Ebitda for the quarter jumped 30 per cent YoY to Rs 7,597 crore from Rs 5,845 crore, up 30 per cent. The results were driven by positive macros and focus on downstream value-added products along with better-operating efficiencies, the company said in a BSE filing.
The company said its consolidated net debt to Ebitda stood at 1.36 times as of March 31, 2022, compared with 2.59 times as of March 31, 2021.
Satish Pai, Managing Director, Industries, said: “With record profitability in the fourth quarter, we had a very good end to the year. We attribute Hindalco’s highest-ever profits not just to strong macros, but also to our consistent focus on operational excellence and cost optimization. We continue to remain one of the world’s lowest-cost and highest Ebitda margin producers of aluminium."
Novelis, which is a subsidiary of Hindalco, reported a net income from continuing operations at $217 million, up 21 per cent YoY.
Novelis' net income was up, mainly driven by lower interest expenses during the quarter. Revenue for Novelis rose 34 per cent YoY to $4.8 billion from $3.6 billion), led by higher global aluminium prices. Total shipments of flat-rolled products (FRPs) were up at 9,87,000 tonnes against 9,83,000 tonnes in Q4 FY21.

Now that summer has arrived and school is out, we want our kids to be outside getting fresh air and exercise. Riding a bicycle is an excellent way for them to do that, but parents should discuss bike safety before sending them out on a ride. Invest in a quality bike helmet that fits properly. Hats or hoods should not be worn under the helmet, and if your child has a fall and hits their head, the helmet should be replaced. Encourage them to wear bright reflective clothing and to keep an eye out for cars and other road hazards.
Since cars are the biggest danger to children on bikes, it is important that they know where they can ride. For young children, the sidewalk is the safest place, but they need to be aware of cars entering and exiting driveways. Older children should use a bike lane when they are available and never ride against traffic. At intersections, children should be taught to walk their bike across the street rather than ride it across and instructed to make eye contact with the driver before crossing.
Keep in mind that while accidents can, and sometimes do, happen, bicycling can be a safe and rewarding hobby. I think the best way to teach kids bike safety is to get out there and ride with them. We all have too much stress and responsibility, but what better way to unwind than to drag that bike out of the garage and feel the wind on your face and the bugs in your teeth! You won’t regret it. | https://www.kolotv.com/sponsored/saint-marys-regional-health/how-do-you-stay-safe-bicycle/ | 2022-05-27T19:04:57Z | https://www.kolotv.com/sponsored/saint-marys-regional-health/how-do-you-stay-safe-bicycle/ | true | 1 |
Caf Champions League: Will Al Ahly’s Tau equal or break Mputu’s TP Mazembe record?
Al Ahly and South Africa forward Percy Tau is on the verge of breaking Tresor Mputu’s tally in the Caf Champions League.
Tau and his teammates will face off with Wydad Casablanca on May 30 at the Mohamed V Stadium in Morocco and the South African has a chance to equal or break the record set by Tout Puissant Mazembe’s midfielder-cum-striker.
Tau has been directly involved in eight goals - three goals and five assists - more than any other player in the Champions League this season. The last player with more in a single campaign was Mputu in 2018-19 when he was involved in nine goals - four goals and five assists – for the DR Congo giants.

- Alexander-Arnold vs Vinicius: The tactical battle that will define the Champions League final
As the former Mamelodi Sundowns star eyes the mark, it will be the third Champions League final between Moroccan and Egyptian sides.
Al Ahly – led by South Africa's Pitso Mosimane - are looking to become the first side to win the competition in three consecutive seasons, after beating Zamalek 2-1 in 2019-20 and Kaizer Chiefs 3-0 in 2020-21.
On the other hand, this will be Wydad Casablanca’s third final in six seasons - after 2017 where they emerged as winners, and 2018-19 when they finished as runners-up; and it is also their fifth overall in the Champions League/Africa Cup of Champions Clubs (W2 L2), the most by a Moroccan side in the competition.
The Egyptian giants have won their last two Champions League matches against Wydad Casablanca - both legs of their semi-final meeting in 2019-20 - and are looking to win three in a row against the Moroccan side for the first time in the competition.
Al Ahly must be aware of Wydad Casablanca’s attacking threat as the Moroccan giants are the top-scoring team in the competition this season with 20 goals. They’ve had nine different players score at least once - excluding own goals – and no side have had more different goal-scorers in the competition this season (level with Mamelodi Sundowns).
Meanwhile, Al Ahly started slowly this season as they failed to score in three of their first four games (W1 D1 L2) but have scored in each of their last six, averaging 2.2 goals per game (13 in total – W4 D2). | https://www.goal.com/en-bh/news/caf-champions-league-will-al-ahly-tau-equal-or-break-mputu/blt4a47102c2961c97c | 2022-05-27T19:05:50Z | https://www.goal.com/en-bh/news/caf-champions-league-will-al-ahly-tau-equal-or-break-mputu/blt4a47102c2961c97c | false | 10 |

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy is making clear that he will defy a subpoena from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack, escalating a standoff with the panel over his and other GOP lawmakers’ testimony.
“For House Republican leaders to agree to participate in this political stunt would change the House forever,” the California lawmaker wrote Thursday in an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal with GOP Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio.
The House panel believes testimony from the Republican lawmakers are crucial to their investigation as each of the men was in contact with then-President Donald Trump and his allies in the weeks and days leading up to the Capitol insurrection. Some participated in meetings and urged the White House to try and overturn the 2020 presidential results.
McCarthy has acknowledged he spoke with Trump on Jan. 6 as Trump’s supporters were beating police outside the Capitol and forcing their way into the building. But he has not shared many details. The committee requested information about his conversations with Trump “before, during and after” the riot.
People are also reading…
His defiance presents a new challenge for the committee after lawmakers decided to take the extraordinary and politically risky step of subpoenaing their own colleagues. The committee now must decide whether to enforce the subpoenas even as it looks to wrap up the investigation and prepare for a series of public hearings in early June. It could refer the lawmakers to the House ethics committee or take steps to hold them in contempt.
The subpoenas were issued to McCarthy, R-Calif., Jordan, and Reps. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, Andy Biggs of Arizona and Mo Brooks of Alabama in mid-May. The panel has already interviewed more than 1,000 witnesses and collected more than 100,000 documents as it investigates the worst attack on the Capitol in two centuries.
“I have no relevant information that would advance any legitimate legislative purpose,” Jordan said in a letter detailing his reasons for not cooperating. The others indicated after the subpoenas were issued that they too would not cooperate. A request for comment from Biggs, Brooks and Perry was not immediately returned.
The panel had previously asked for voluntary cooperation from the five lawmakers, along with a handful of other GOP members, but all refused to speak with the panel, which debated for months whether to issue the subpoenas.
McCarthy and the others were summoned to testify in front of investigators this week and next week. McCarthy, who aspires to be House speaker if Republicans take over the majority next year, indicated that the committee’s decision will have a lasting impact.
“Every representative in the minority would be subject to compelled interrogations by the majority, under oath, without any foundation of fairness, and at the expense of taxpayers,” he wrote in the op-ed.
In a separate move, McCarthy and the No. 2 House Republican, Louisiana Rep. Steve Scalise, filed a court brief in support of Donald Trump ally Steve Bannon, who is facing criminal contempt charges for defying a subpoena from the committee. In the brief, lawyers for the two write that the committee does not have the authority to issue subpoenas, an argument that has been dismissed in other court proceedings.
The lawyers also wrote that McCarthy and Scalise filed the brief “out of concern for the potential damage to House institutional," rules and order.

WINDHAM, N.Y., May 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Windham Mountain announces a multi-million dollar investment to provide housing as part of its commitment to developing and investing in Mountain employees. The investment will provide housing in the winter primarily for international employees as well as part-time staff looking for accommodations on weekends. Rooms in the new facility will be available for employees of local businesses in the summer months.
Windham Mountain's investment will be realized through the purchase and renovation of the former Hamilton Motel property on Route 23. The Hamilton operated as a 15-room motel with a separate 3-story house/office. The scenic 22-acre property is adjacent to Windham Country Club, the 18-hole public/private golf course owned by Windham Mountain. Extensive renovations will be made to modernize the facility and will include the addition of kitchens and common areas. Energy efficiency will be a high priority and construction will include solar panels on the roof, as well as all-electric HVAC.
"Our mission of going Above and Beyond for our guests must start with our employees, who are the heart and soul of our mountain," said Chip Seamans, President and General Manager of Windham Mountain. "As short-term rental properties have proliferated, affordable housing options for our employees have become more difficult to secure. This investment reflects our commitment to our company and our mountain community, and it must remain at the forefront of what we do."
The investment will provide housing for approximately 45 employees and will be utilized year–round.
The purchase of the Hamilton property is in addition to over $9 million in capital investments in infrastructure and the guest experience for the 2022/2023 season. Highlighting the investments is the replacement of the longstanding Whiteway Triple chairlift with a high-speed quad chair, further increasing lift capacity and minimizing ride times out of the base area.
Windham Mountain is the premier year-round mountain resort destination within two and a half hours of New York City. Boasting 285 skiable acres across 54 trails and serviced by 11 lifts, the mountain offers six terrain parks, an award-winning and revamped Ski and Ride School, lodging, on-mountain dining, a Tubing Park, a full-service spa, and much more. Summer brings a range of activities including simple mountain getaways, events, festivals, extraordinary weddings, and energizing corporate gatherings. Windham Mountain Bike Park is famous for its UCI World Cup course and also features a three-mile-long, signature beginner trail. Windham Country Club is an 18-hole public golf course with a private club atmosphere. Visit windhammountain.com for details on these activities and more.

Rags-to-riches journey of builder Avinash Bhosale
PUNE It is for the second time that auto-rickshaw driver-turned-smalltime builder-turned flamboyant businessman – Avinash Bhosale – has been arrested by law enforcement agencies, and both the times, the reason for the arrests has been ‘finance’.
In 2007, sleuths of the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) arrested Bhosale for ‘non-declaration of foreign currency and smuggling of luxury items’. Bhosale, his wife and three other relatives were apprehended at the green channel at Mumbai airport for wearing four foreign-made diamond-studded watches. The customs department said that Bhosale failed to declare luxury goods worth lakhs of rupees and some foreign currencies and travellers’ cheques. However, the court granted him bail on the same day. In June 2021, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) seized assets worth Rs40.34 crore belonging to businessman Bhosale and his family members on charges of violation of provisions of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) 1999.
From an auto rickshaw driver to a smalltime builder to a flamboyant businessman, Bhosale has had a chequered past with more than his fair share of controversies. He has a well-oiled network with politicians across parties and owns some of the most expensive properties and cars. From humble beginnings to being counted among the wealthiest in the country, his meteoric rise has been attributed to bagging contracts for the construction of dams, reservoirs and irrigation projects since the 1990s. His connections with bureaucrats and politicians are legendary and he is known to have a taste for the good life.
The Maharashtra anti-corruption bureau (ACB) in an adverse confidential report submitted to the government in 1998 stated that Andhra Pradesh-based contractor P Venku Reddy and Avinash Bhosale may have together siphoned off huge amounts of money to foreign countries through hawala and other modes of transaction. The report stated that the imprisoned businessman, while bidding for huge contracts in Maharashtra’s Krishna valley, allegedly manipulated tender notices and inflated the estimated project costs to gain profit.
Bhosale is known to be extremely well-connected and has good equations with all top leaders across parties. He was seen flaunting his political connections during the marriage of his daughter Swapnali and also his son Amit. He owns a palatial bungalow in Baner, which is frequented by the who’s who of the country, including Bollywood celebrities. Known to do everything in style, Bhosale is said to have taken a ride in his private chopper from his bungalow to Sinhagad institute ground to play cricket with his friends. He also owns a Bell 206 L4 helicopter and a fleet of luxury cars including a Phantom and a Rolls Royce. Earlier, he used to throw lavish parties for his close friends and has been a jet-setter frequently holidaying abroad. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/pune-news/ragstoriches-journey-of-builder-avinash-bhosale-101653677507577-amp.html | 2022-05-27T19:21:31Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/pune-news/ragstoriches-journey-of-builder-avinash-bhosale-101653677507577-amp.html | false | 1 |

MILFORD, Conn. — As people all around the state get ready to hit the water for Memorial Day Weekend, the waterways are expected to be crowded with boaters.
Members of the Coast Guard Auxiliary in Milford reminded boaters Friday to remember basic life-saving tips when out on the water.
"It’s a good idea to wear your life jacket," said Tom Violante. "It would be a good idea to teach everyone on your boat how to operate the radio so you can hear reports or if the skipper is incapacitated and always have a life preserver in case someone goes overboard. Keep your eyes open, no drinking on the water and put your safety vest on before you even get on the boat, and for little children especially."
In order to prevent as many water accidents as possible, it's important to have a safety plan in place for everyone on the boat.
"Use what we call a float plan and let somebody know where you’re going, who was on your vessel and what time you’re going to be home. If you change your plan, make sure that you notify them so we don’t have to start sending Coast Guard assets out there when you’re already someplace else," said Timothy Mulherin.
They said a majority of boating accidents happen because people weren’t educated and never had a safe boating course.
Classes in Milford are offered regularly; The next one is scheduled for June 4 at 8 a.m.
"It’s very critical that folks have a good, strong idea at how the current changes, the tides, the weather things like that so people can keep safe and the boating safety courses are critical for everyone," said Lowell Siegel.
It's important for boaters to be aware of other boaters out on the water, including kayaks and smaller boats that are more common.
Anyone that needs to report a water accident should call 9-1-1.

SILVER SPRING, Md., May 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is providing an update on additional steps it has taken that will lead to more infant formula on U.S. store shelves in the coming weeks and months.
"We continue to work around the clock with our government partners and industry to ensure there's adequate infant formula available wherever and whenever parents and caregivers need it," said FDA Commissioner Robert M. Califf, M.D. "Steps like the one the agency is taking today means more infant formula will be available to parents and caregivers in the weeks and months ahead. We will not rest until our shelves are replete with safe and nutritious infant formula."
Under the agency's recent increased flexibilities, Bubs Australia plans to provide at least 1.25 million cans of several varieties of its infant formula such as stage 1 and 2 cans of Bubs Organic Grass Fed, Bubs Supreme A2 Beta-Casein Protein and Bubs Easy-digest Goat Milk, that will make at least 27.5 million full-size, 8-ounce bottles. Some of this product is currently in stock for transport and additional product is being produced in the coming weeks and months. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is evaluating options for getting the products to the U.S. as quickly as possible. The company has information about the products and where to find product once in the U.S. on the Aussie Bubs website.
The FDA notified Bubs Australia that the agency is exercising enforcement discretion for the importation of certain infant formula products following the review of information provided pertaining to nutritional adequacy and safety, including microbiological testing, labeling, and additional information about facility production and inspection history.
On Tuesday and Thursday, the FDA also announced steps that will lead to tens of millions of additional bottles of infant formula, including specialty infant formula that is in short supply for infants with certain allergies or critical health conditions.
The agency is leveraging a number of flexibilities to bolster the supply of products that serve as the sole source of nutrition for many infants while ensuring the infant formula can be used safely and provides adequate nutrition. The FDA remains in further discussions with manufacturers and suppliers regarding additional supply to ensure there's adequate infant formula available wherever and whenever parents and caregivers need it.
The FDA issued guidance on May 24 that outlined a process by which the agency would not object to the importation of certain infant formula products intended for a foreign market or distribution in the U.S. of products manufactured here for export to foreign countries. This guidance also may provide flexibilities to those who manufacture infant formula products domestically and may be able to increase further the quantity of domestically produced product for the U.S. market. The agency has posted a webpage that will be updated with information about additional products headed to the U.S.
The agency's around-the-clock work as part of the all-of-government efforts has already begun to improve supply and availability. The agency expects that the measures and steps it is taking, and the potential for Abbott Nutrition's Sturgis, Michigan, facility to safely resume production in the near-term, will mean more and more supply is on the way or on store shelves moving forward.
The FDA continues to advise against making infant formulas at home or diluting formula. Caregivers are encouraged to work with their child's health care provider for recommendations on changing feeding practices, if needed. HHS has also released a fact sheet with information to help families find infant formula.
The agency also monitors online marketplaces for fraudulent products and works with major online retailers to remove violative and harmful products offered for sale on their sites. Additionally, since many of these fraudulent products originate overseas, the agency targets and examines these products at ports of entry. The FDA also monitors and follows up on various external signals such as consumer complaints about potential counterfeit and fraudulent products.
The FDA will continue to dedicate all available resources to help ensure that infant formula products remain available for use in the U.S. and will keep the public informed of progress updates.

Two-and-a-half years in, it’s safe to say Disney’s grand venture into a televised Star Wars universe has been something of a mixed bag. The Mandalorian succeeded against the odds, with Grogu / “Baby Yoda” instantly becoming the galaxy’s most popular new addition in decades. The Book of Boba Fett started out aimless and tedious, before essentially abandoning its premise – and lead character – halfway through and transforming into another season of The Mandalorian. Obi-Wan Kenobi, released on Disney Plus on Friday, offers a slight change of tack: a self-contained story, centring on one of the saga’s most familiar characters. Judging by the first two episodes, it feels like it’s pulled it off.
The six-episode miniseries sees Ewan McGregor reprise the role of the droll, bearded Jedi he inhabited in George Lucas’s prequel trilogy. Ten years have passed since the events of Revenge of the Sith – though what’s a year, really, on a planet with two suns? – and we re-meet Obi-Wan lying low on the planet of Tatooine, watching over a young Luke Skywalker from afar. It’s a miserable and thankless task for Obi-Wan, who is being sought by a trio of inquisitors: former Jedi who work for the Empire as Jedi hunters.
Ultimately, it’s not Luke the series is concerned with, but his sister, Leia, played here by Vivien Lyra Blair. In the series’ first episode, Leia is kidnapped from her home planet of Alderaan and used to draw Obi-Wan out of hiding, under the somewhat spurious leap of reasoning that Obi-Wan was an old war buddy of Leia’s adoptive father (Jimmy Smits, reprising the role of Bail Organa). Of course, Obi-Wan takes the bait.
Obi-Wan’s best plotline in the prequels took the form of a noirish detective pastiche in Attack of the Clones; episode two of Kenobi features a lot more gumshoeing. The self-contained story gives Obi-Wan more purpose than some of Star Wars’ other streaming ventures – even if you suspect this would have worked perfectly well as a film. Naturally, the stakes are somewhat muted given that we’ve seen some of the key players alive and well in A New Hope, but it’s a series that’s more about the chase than the finish.
Mostly, it’s just enjoyable seeing McGregor return to the role, a character originated by Alec Guinness but one that he has made his own. There’s much about Lucas’s maligned prequels that’s been subject to revisionist re-appraisals over the past decade; McGregor’s performance is one of the most widely acknowledged highlights. Here, he adds new dimensions to the character, without losing the old – his dry wit, his unflappable dignity. The Jedi has returned.

UVALDE, Texas (AP) — Tuesday should have been a day of triumph for 10-year-old Maite Rodriguez. Instead, it was the day she died.
Maite was among 19 grade school students who, along with two teachers, were shot to death at Robb Elementary School in the southwestern Texas town of Uvalde. The 18-year-old gunman also died.
Maite liked and excelled at physical education — after her death, her teacher texted her mother to say she was very competitive at kickball and ran faster than all the boys.
She had always been a straight-A student until the COVID-19 pandemic forced the school to cancel in-person classes. Zoom didn’t work well for Maite — she got all Fs. But with school back in session, Maite rebounded — all As and Bs. She was among the honor roll students recognized at an assembly Tuesday morning.
“She worked hard, I only encouraged her,” her mother, Ana Rodríguez, said in an interview Thursday at her dining room table, which displayed a bouquet of red roses, the honor roll certificate and photos of Maite.
Hours later, Maite was gone. Her mother described her as “focused, competitive, smart, bright, beautiful, happy.”
As a kindergartner, Maite said she wanted to be a marine biologist and held firmly to that goal. She researched a program at Texas A&M University in Corpus Christi and told her mother she was set on studying there.
“She was just so driven. She was definitely special. She was going to be something, she was going to be something very, very special,” Rodríguez said.
Jacklyn Cazares, who would have turned 10 on June 10, was a tough-minded “firecracker” who wanted to help people in need, her father said. Jacklyn and her second cousin, Annabelle Rodriguez, were especially tight with three other classmates at Robb Elementary School.
“They are all gone now,” Javier Cazares said. “All her little best friends were killed too.”
Despite her young age, Jacklyn was tough-minded and compassionate.
“She had a voice,” her father said. “She didn’t like bullies, she didn’t like kids being picked on. All in all, full of love. She had a big heart.”
“She was a character, a little firecracker.”
Cazares drove his daughter to school Tuesday for the awards ceremony. About 90 minutes later, the family got a call about an active shooter.
“I drove like a bat out of hell,” he said. “My baby was in trouble.”
“There was more than 100 people out there waiting. It was chaotic,” he said of the scene at the school. He grew impatient with the police response and even raised the idea of rushing inside with other bystanders.
Cazares said his niece followed an ambulance to the hospital and saw Jacklyn being taken inside. The entire family soon arrived and pressed hospital officials for information for nearly three hours. They begged, cried and showed photos of Jacklyn. Finally, a pastor, police officer and a doctor came to them.
“My wife asked the question, ‘Is she alive or is she passed?’” Cazares said. “They were like, ‘No, she’s gone.’”
Ryan Ramirez also rushed to Robb Elementary when he heard about the shooting, hoping to find his daughter, Alithia, and take her home, KTRK-TV reported. But Alithia, too, was among the victims.
Ramirez’s Facebook page includes a photo, now shown around the world, of the little girl wearing the multi-colored T-shirt that announced she was out of “single digits” after turning 10 years old. The same photo was posted again Wednesday with no words, but with Alithia wearing angel wings.
The grief only grew Thursday with confirmation that the brokenhearted husband of one of the slain teachers, 48-year-old Irma Garcia, had died.
Joe Garcia, 50, had dropped off flowers at his wife’s memorial on Thursday morning, The New York Times reported. He “pretty much just fell over” after returning home and died of a heart attack, his nephew John Martinez told the newspaper.
The Archdiocese of San Antonio and the Rushing-Estes-Knowles Mortuary confirmed Joe Garcia’s death to The Associated Press. AP was unable to independently reach members of the Garcia family on Thursday.
Married for 24 years, the couple shared four children. In a post on the school’s website at the start of the school year introducing herself to her class, Irma Garcia wrote of her love of barbecue, listening to music and taking “country cruises” to the nearby town of Concan.
The school year, scheduled to end Thursday, was Irma’s 23rd year of teaching — all of it at Robb Elementary School. She had been previously named the school’s teacher of the year and was a 2019 recipient of the Trinity Prize for Excellence in Education from Trinity University.
For five years, Irma had co-taught with Eva Mireles, who also was killed.
Mireles also posted on the site as the school year began, noting she had been teaching 17 years. She cited her “supportive, fun, and loving family.”
“Welcome to the 4th grade! We have a wonderful year ahead of us!” she wrote.
Two of the victims had hoped to skip school that day.
Carmelo Quiroz’s grandson, Jayce Luevanos, 10, had begged to go along with his grandmother on Tuesday as she accompanied her great-granddaughter’s kindergarten class to the San Antonio Zoo. But, he said, the family told Jayce it didn’t make sense to skip school so close to the end of the year. Besides, Jayce liked school.
“That’s why my wife is hurting so much, because he wanted to go to San Antonio,” Quiroz told USA Today. “He was so sad he couldn’t go. Maybe if he would have gone, he’d be here.”
Jayce’s cousin, 10-year-old Jailah Nicole Silguero, also wanted to miss school that day. Jailah’s mother, Veronica Luevanos, tearfully told Univision that Jailah seemed to sense something bad was going to happen.
Jailah’s friend, Nevaeh Alyssa Bravo, also was killed and her aunt noted Neveah’s first name is heaven spelled backward. In a Facebook posting, Yvonne White described Nevaeh and Jailah as “Our Angels.”
Two men who responded to the shooting discovered their own children among the victims.
Uvalde County Sheriff’s Deputy Felix Rubio and his wife had been at the school Tuesday morning to celebrate with their daughter, 10-year-old Alexandria “Lexi” Rubio, since the fourth-grader had made honor roll with all A’s and received a good citizen award.
In a Facebook post, Kimberly Rubio wrote: “We told her we loved her and would pick her up after school. We had no idea this was goodbye.”
Medical assistant Angel Garza also hurried to the school and immediately found a girl covered in blood among the terrified children streaming out of the building.
“I’m not hurt. He shot my best friend,” the girl told Garza when he offered help. “She’s not breathing. She was just trying to call the cops.”
Her friend was Amerie Jo Garza — Angel Garza’s stepdaughter.
Amerie was a happy child who made the honor roll and loved to paint, draw and work in clay. “She was very creative,” said her grandmother Dora Mendoza. “She was my baby. Whenever she saw flowers she would draw them.”
GoFundMe pages were set up for many of the victims, including one on behalf of all victims that has raised more than $3.7 million.

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A federal judge has given U.S. wildlife officials 18 months to decide if wolverines should be protected under the Endangered Species Act, following decades of disagreement over how much risk climate change and other threats pose to the rare and elusive predators.
The order from U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy comes after environmentalists challenged a 2020 decision under the Trump administration to withhold protections for the animals in the lower 48 states, where no more than 300 of the animals are thought to remain.
Environmentalists argued that wolverines face localized extinction as a result of climate change, habitat fragmentation and low genetic diversity. Climate change is expected to diminish the mountain snowpack that wolverines rely on to dig dens to birth and raise their young.
The Fish and Wildlife Service received a petition to protect wolverines in 2000. The agency proposed protections in 2010 and later sought to withdraw that proposal, but was blocked by a federal judge.
The 2020 rejection of protections was based on recent research suggesting the animals' prevalence was expanding, not contracting. Officials had predicted enough snow would persist at high elevations for wolverines to den in mountain snowfields each spring despite warming temperatures.
Wolverines, also known as “mountain devils,” were wiped out across most of the U.S. by the early 1900s following unregulated trapping and poisoning campaigns. | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Judge-orders-US-to-decide-if-wolverines-need-17203792.php | 2022-05-27T19:40:18Z | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Judge-orders-US-to-decide-if-wolverines-need-17203792.php | false | 11 |
McCarthy, GOP lawmakers escalate standoff with Jan. 6 panel
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy is making clear that he will defy a subpoena from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack, escalating a standoff with the panel over his and other GOP lawmakers’ testimony.
“For House Republican leaders to agree to participate in this political stunt would change the House forever,” the California lawmaker wrote Thursday in an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal with GOP Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio.
The House panel believes testimony from the Republican lawmakers are crucial to their investigation as each of the men was in contact with then-President Donald Trump and his allies in the weeks and days leading up to the Capitol insurrection. Some participated in meetings and urged the White House to try and overturn the 2020 presidential results.
McCarthy has acknowledged he spoke with Trump on Jan. 6 as Trump’s supporters were beating police outside the Capitol and forcing their way into the building. But he has not shared many details. The committee requested information about his conversations with Trump “before, during and after” the riot.
His defiance presents a new challenge for the committee after lawmakers decided to take the extraordinary and politically risky step of subpoenaing their own colleagues. The committee now must decide whether to enforce the subpoenas even as it looks to wrap up the investigation and prepare for a series of public hearings in early June. It could refer the lawmakers to the House ethics committee or take steps to hold them in contempt.
The subpoenas were issued to McCarthy, R-Calif., Jordan, and Reps. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, Andy Biggs of Arizona and Mo Brooks of Alabama in mid-May. The panel has already interviewed more than 1,000 witnesses and collected more than 100,000 documents as it investigates the worst attack on the Capitol in two centuries.
“I have no relevant information that would advance any legitimate legislative purpose,” Jordan said in a letter detailing his reasons for not cooperating. The others indicated after the subpoenas were issued that they, too, would not cooperate. A request for comment from Biggs, Brooks and Perry was not immediately returned.
The panel had previously asked for voluntary cooperation from the five lawmakers, along with a handful of other GOP members, but all refused to speak with the panel, which debated for months whether to issue the subpoenas.
McCarthy and the others were summoned to testify in front of investigators this week and next week. McCarthy, who aspires to be House speaker if Republicans take over the majority next year, indicated that the committee’s decision will have a lasting impact.
“Every representative in the minority would be subject to compelled interrogations by the majority, under oath, without any foundation of fairness, and at the expense of taxpayers,” he wrote in the op-ed.
In a separate move, McCarthy and the No. 2 House Republican, Louisiana Rep. Steve Scalise, filed a court brief in support of Donald Trump ally Steve Bannon, who is facing criminal contempt charges for defying a subpoena from the committee. In the brief, lawyers for the two write that the committee does not have the authority to issue subpoenas, an argument that has been dismissed in other court proceedings.
The lawyers also wrote that McCarthy and Scalise filed the brief “out of concern for the potential damage to House institutional,” rules and order.

A police officer said he and his colleagues were in an “impossible situation” during events leading up to the death of Sheku Bayoh, the inquiry into his death has heard.
Pc Alan Smith was giving evidence to the hearing at Capital House in Edinburgh on Friday.
This week, the inquiry heard from officers who were involved in the response to calls that Mr Bayoh was seen acting erratically with a “large knife” on Hayfield Road in Kirkcaldy, Fife, on May 3 2015.
At the time of the incident, Pc Smith had 10 years of experience in the police. He had training as a public response officer and an armed response officer.
He told the inquiry that he had not been employed in these roles at the time when he responded to the call regarding Mr Bayoh, and instead responded to ad-hoc calls in these roles.
Pc Smith told the inquiry: “Situations like this are impossible.
“You’re trained to take in a lot of information, trying to do a lot of different things.
“If you are going to somebody with a knife you have a degree of fear. There’s potential that something could go wrong. There’s a little tension there.”
Pc Smith said it wasn’t “statistically” likely for an officer to be injured at knife incidents.
The officer told the inquiry that initial communications from the police control room were unclear and he did not know what to expect.
He was asked about incidents he had attended prior to 2015 and he could not recall if any of them involved a black man.
Pc Smith confirmed he had engaged CS spray on two occasions before the incident with Sheku Bayoh.
The inquiry also heard it was “very rare” for officers to strike individuals with their baton when responding to knife incidents.
Pc Smith said: “I’m fairly certain I never struck anyone with a baton in relation to a knife incident.
“I may well have drawn it.
“It wouldn’t be unusual to draw a baton or draw it and have it down by my side.
“It’s not regular if you’re doing it as an overt use of force.
“It’s a contingency.”
Pc Smith was also asked to account for his position in relation to Mr Bayoh when he was being restrained on the ground as well as the position Mr Bayoh was in.
The inquiry will continue to hear evidence from Pc Smith and Pc Kayleigh Good on Friday afternoon before Lord Bracadale.

The Tasmanian government has made a bold $150 million bid to secure the creation of the southern state’s first AFL team.
Tasmania’s new Premier Jeremy Rockliff made the private submission to the AFL early this month with the view to establish a team in Hobart, which would be expected to join the competition by 2028 and as early as 2026.
The government proposal envisaged a 10-year deal worth $100 million with a further $50 million in start-up costs, including a state-of-the-art high-performance facility placed within walking distance of Hobart’s CBD, prioritising the attraction and retention of elite football talent.
The submission also sought clarification from head office regarding its pledged support to rebuild the game at grassroots level in the once-talent-rich football state. The government bid comes with tri-partisan support after Tasmania’s Liberal government reached agreements with both state Labor and the Greens.
While the AFL has not yet provided a formal response to the premier, talks held last week between league bosses and the government-sanctioned Tasmanian taskforce indicated that the league wanted a longer-term commitment than 10 years.
As negotiations continue it is also understood that the taskforce would consider a compromise proposal which could lead to the granting of a decade-long provisional licence. In another compromise, the government could underwrite the Tasmanian team to the tune of $12.5 million each year with the AFL contributing to the start-up costs.
The AFL has denied it made a formal bid for an annual $20 million commitment from the government amid fears it is pushing for a major cash grab to win over the 18 club presidents. The $10 million annual funding proposal is in line with the 2021 Colin Carter report, which estimated a state government contribution of between $7 million and $11 million per annum. The taskforce projections have the proposed team boasting a start-up membership of 30,000.
A level of angst is building among key players involved in the Tasmanian bid as it awaits clarification upon its football soft cap, player list sizes and the quality of its fixture. Current costings according to the bid would place the new team roughly 12th or 13th in annual turnover, including AFL contributions.
Details of the bid have emerged as AFL boss Gillon McLachlan faces a battle to win over a number of sceptical club presidents. McLachlan, who on Friday denied he had lost the hunger to lead the creation of a stand-alone Tasmanian team, is adamant he does not want to put the Tasmanian proposal to a vote but rather gain unanimous club support.
While a number of clubs have been unwilling to take a final position on Tasmania before the full details of the proposal are unveiled, Sydney, Collingwood and the Gold Coast have all indicated they are unlikely to support the bid. A final decision is still scheduled in August after what looms as an historic meeting between the AFL Commission and the 18 clubs.
Rockliff’s submission comes after former premier Peter Gutwein’s shock resignation earlier this year, an announcement viewed by the AFL as a setback for the Tasmanian bid. Both McLachlan and his chairman Richard Goyder were scheduled to fly to Tasmania to meet Gutwein.
Responding this week to suggestions that some clubs still saw the relocation of North Melbourne to Tasmania as a preferable alternative - an alternative previously explored by McLachlan - Rockliff said: “Tasmania has waited long enough and Tasmanians won’t accept a team with half its heart in Melbourne.
“The roaring success of the JackJumpers prove how important this is to Tasmania, and we do not want to see the AFL get left behind. It’s time to make history once and for all.”
The Kangaroos, too, have wholeheartedly rejected the relocation talks.
The Tasmanian campaign has repeatedly stated that this bid looms as the last opportunity to save Australian rules football in one of its historic heartland states and set it upon a thriving expansionist pathway.
Should Tasmania fail in its bid to win a licence, Rockliff’s government has indicated the state will no longer underwrite the multimillion-dollar deals funding Hawthorn and to a lesser extent North Melbourne to play in Tasmania. No other start-up AFL team has been underwritten by public money.
AFL executive Travis Auld has been leading the negotiations with the taskforce along with the league’s new Tasmanian boss Sam Graham, while the league’s general manager of football Brad Scott has been working on issues such as list sizes, the soft cap, football pathways, a second-tier competition and special draft rules for the new team.
Four-time premiership coach Alastair Clarkson recently visited the United States in part to look at top-of-the range football and basketball facilities as part of the proposal to create an elite training and administration base for the team, which would most likely be built alongside the proposed new stadium in the regatta grounds, alongside the Derwent River less than a kilometre from the CBD, or at nearby Sandy Bay.
Negotiations continue as McLachlan also works to secure a new long-term broadcast deal for the competition beyond 2024 and a new pay deal for AFL players with the current CBA up this year.

Texas school shooting: Officials outline updated timeline of the attack
Police who responded to the Texas school massacre have been accused of being “unprepared” and failing to respond as videos reveal parents pleading with officers outside Robb Elementary School in Uvalde on Tuesday.
Parents said they urged officers to move into school as the AR-15-wielding assailant fatally shot two teachers and 19 pupils.
The father of 10-year-old victim Jacklyn Cazares said he even suggested he could go in himself with other bystanders as he was frustrated police were not doing it themselves.
Details of the timeline and events remain unclear, including whether officers failed to prevent 18-year-old gunman Salvador Ramos from entering the school, and whether he “barricaded” himself inside a classroom before or after killing fourth-grade children inside.
Messages from Ramos to recipients on social media appear to show him flaunting his weapons and announcing plans to “shoot up a elementary school” moments before the killings.
Miami Heat urges fans to call their reps about gun control
Instead of just holding a moment of silence for the victims in Uvalde, Texas, the Miami Heat urged its fans to call their local representatives about gun control.
“The Heat urges you to contact your state senators by calling 202-224-3121 to leave a message demanding their support for common sense gun laws,” an announcer said at a Wednesday night NBA game.
Shooter was armed with 22 30-bullet magazines, report says
The gunman who killed 19 students and two teachers at a Texas elementary school on Tuesday may have been armed with as many as 660 rounds packed into high-capacity ammunition magazines during the massacre, ABC News reports.
Salvador Ramos had one 30-round magazine loaded into the AR-15-style assault rifle he used during the shooting, law enforcement sources said.
The 18-year-old had another six magazines loaded into a tactical vest he was wearing, as well as 15 more loaded magazines in a backpack later discovered by police.

Rep Joaquin Castro demands FBI investigation of police response
Rep Joaquin Castro of Texas has written to the director of the FBI, demanding an investigation of the shooting in Uvalde and the police response to it.
“State authorities have provided the public with conflicting accounts of how the tragedy in Uvalde unfolded,” the Democratic congressman tweeted on Thursday. “I’m calling on the FBI to use their maximum authority to investigate and provide a full report on the timeline, the law enforcement response and how 21 Texans were killed.”
Five things Congress is mulling on guns – and whether anything will come of them
In the wake of the Uvalde, Texas elementary school shooting massacre, calls are once again being made for the US government to address the issue that has plagued the country now for decades.
But enacting restrictions on guns is easier said than done. In the Senate, Democrats hold a tenuous 50-50 majority, and Republicans are almost unanimously opposed to any gun control legislation.
Here’s a look at the measures Congress is considering, and their chances (or lack thereof) of passing:
Salvador Ramos: Everything we know about the shooter
The gunman who killed at least 19 children and two adults at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, on Tuesday has been named as 18-year-old Salvador Ramos.
Governor Greg Abbott said Ramos, who was eventually shot dead by law enforcement officers, was “the sheer face of evil”.
Ramos was a student at Uvalde High School and lived in the small city 80 miles west of San Antonio.
The teen had hinted on social media that an attack could be coming, state senator Roland Gutierrez told reporters. “He suggested the kids should watch out,” the lawmaker said.

‘If they’re crying, we can cry with them’: Support pours into Uvalde
They came to Uvalde from all over Texas and farther afield, offering everything from blood to food to comfort. And a simple message: You are not alone.
One white SUV on Thursday, parked near the makeshift memorial on the town plaza, had written on the rear windshield that they’d travelled from Edinburg, Texas – four and a half hours away – to show their support for the victims and the community.
People were still lining up to donate blood in the aftermath, with more blood drives scheduled for the coming days and appointments quickly filling up.

As pressure for action builds, Senate adjourns for recess
Just two days after a school shooting took 21 lives, the US Senate has adjourned for its Memorial Day recess. It will be back in session on 6 June.
Following the massacre, pressure has mounted on Congress to pass some sort of meaningful legislation to combat gun violence. That pressure, evidently, was not enough for the Senate to cancel its vacation.
O’Rourke continues to hammer Abbott on gun control
Former congressman Beto O’Rourke has continued to blast Governor Greg Abbott on Twitter, bringing up previous shootings and laws Mr Abbott has signed making guns more widely available.
“The moment to stop Uvalde was right after Sandy Hook. After Santa Fe High. After El Paso,” Mr O’Rourke tweeted, echoing an impromptu speech he made during Mr Abbott’s press conference. “Instead, Abbott made it easier to carry guns in public. The moment to stop the next slaughter is right now.”
Updated: What happened and when in the Uvalde shooting
Police in Uvalde, Texas, are facing a number of unanswered questions about the handling of the mass shooting that left 21 dead at Robb Elementary School.
Local officers and Texas Governor Greg Abbott have spoken out about what unfolded on Tuesday in the horror attack that left 19 elementary students and two teachers dead.
But they have so far been unable to explain how Salvador Ramos was able to barricade himself in a classroom and open fire for more than an hour before being shot dead.
Here’s what we know so far about the timeline:
Shooter’s final text messages revealed
The Uvalde, Texas mass shooter told a German girl he was chatting with online that he shot his grandmother in the face and planned to attack an elementary school just moments before the massacre.
Salvador Ramos, 18, sent the texts on Tuesday just before he barricaded himself in a classroom at Robb Elementary School, where he killed 19 students and two faculty members. The shooter was eventually killed by Border Patrol agents, but not before responding police ignored the cries of desperate parents asking them to enter the school.
In the text exchange the shooter mentions his grandmother, saying he was “waiting for this b****.” He also said he had to wait until his grandfather left before he could act.

BOULDER — Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp., the aerospace arm of Westminster-based metal-packaging manufacturer Ball Corp. (NYSE: BLL), is one of two companies selected by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to administer a study of a new instrument used to observe Earth’s oceans.
The Geostationary Extended Observations (GeoXO) Ocean Color study contract will pay Ball about $5.2 million over 22 months.
“The principal purpose of these contracts is to provide a definition-phase study of a GeoXO OCX instrument, a hyperspectral, ultraviolet through near-infrared, passive imaging radiometer used to measure critical environmental data,” NOAA said in a news release. “OCX will provide up to hourly observations of ocean biology, chemistry, and ecology to assess ocean productivity, ecosystem change, coastal and inland water quality, seafood safety, and hazards like harmful algal blooms. High-resolution OCX observations will be an improvement over those offered by contemporary low-Earth orbiting ocean color sensors.”
Data gleaned from the study will help drive decision-making related to responses to climate-driven ocean and coastal ecosystem changes, the agency said.
Ball will “develop the instrument concept, mature necessary technologies, and help define the instrument’s potential performance, risks, costs, and development schedule,” according to the release. “The results of the study will be used to set performance requirements for the OCX instrument implementation contract, which is planned for award in 2024.” | https://bizwest.com/2022/05/27/noaa-selects-ball-for-ocean-observation-instrument-study/ | 2022-05-27T19:53:21Z | https://bizwest.com/2022/05/27/noaa-selects-ball-for-ocean-observation-instrument-study/ | true | 4 |
Brett Gelman has appeared in a vast number of television shows and films, but with his most recent role in Stranger Things, he’s starting gain proper recognition for his talent. It’s not a new thing; he’s always been funny, and he’s always been able to tap into the depth of the human psyche to inform how he plays his characters. Perhaps you knew of Brett prior to Stranger Things, but you probably didn’t know that he’s obsessed with fashion, in all its forms. Like most fashion fans, his interests inform his style. He’s deeply into '90s hip-hop, and references the styling and products of Aimé Leon Dore often; he’s into dark films and comedic giants from the latter half of the 20th century, so he also finds himself in Bode and Dries Van Noten.
Gelman calls himself “Jaddy,” a portmanteau of Jewish and daddy, and is all about embracing the strength and resilience that comes with his heritage. He’s also about embracing its quirks, along with his own. Below, Brett and I discuss his upbringing and subsequent path to acting, the woes of childhood neuroticism, budding sexuality and obsessive compulsive disorder, what comedy means to him, which brands and stores he loves, his role in the new season of Stranger Things—"It's one of the greatest things ever made and this season is high fucking octane. It is every genre taken to the millionth percent. It is so fucking good"—and plenty more.
Let's start with the basics. Tell me a bit about your upbringing and how the paternal figures in your life impacted who you are today?
My father, who was a very tough Jew, went to the gym every day and he was not somebody who took any shit from anyone. He was a very silent, stoic, private figure—did not believe in sharing his emotions a lot. That inspired me to not be that way. Because I saw that he'd sort of shoot himself in the foot with his silence and his unwillingness to explore his feelings I also saw the benefit of his toughness and the simplicity in his outlook. Whereas my mother, my sister and I very obsessively examined and questioned everything. There was definitely some toxic masculinity going on and in the end I rejected it. I think it's also what made me become vastly introspective, but I also think that I do too much questioning sometimes. And I strive to have a little bit more of his simplicity. I had a child psychiatrist, Dr. Jay Hirsch, who I basically had a nervous breakdown in front of when I was in the fourth grade.
Tell me more.
I was scared that I was gay. When I was in second grade, me and another best friend, we kind of messed around and did what we thought was sex. It was like, you played sex, me and this boy best friend. It was fun, and then we just stopped doing that. Two years went by and I learned what being gay was. I was in fourth grade. It was the '80s. It was not seen as a positive thing. I felt like I had done something wrong. I remember I was laying on the couch and I watched David Lynch's Dune and I felt like I was rotting inside. One day my dad was out of town. My mom had two friends over. We were eating pizza and I couldn't eat. I was like, "Mom, I got to tell you this right now." I'm like eight years old. We go into the bathroom and I told her thinking she's going to disown me. But she said, “No, no, that's totally normal, kids do that.” I remember I just devoured that fucking pizza. I was so relieved and I was able to eat.
Because of kids at school, I still felt like I had done something wrong, so I started seeing a psychiatrist and then realized that I was obsessing about a lot of things. Turns out I have obsessive compulsive disorder. People usually think that it's associated with physical rituals but it's also true with mental rituals and obsessive thinking. He helped me work a lot of that out too. I was always weird too, because I loved comedy and I loved movies and I didn't really like love sports. I wasn't a good athlete. I was uncoordinated. So he would talk to me about my favorite Mel Brooks or Eddie Murphy or Peter Sellers movies. He was a great parental figure who made me feel really seen.
What led you to acting?
Oh wow. First, I want to talk about the other parental figures in my life, my uncles, Allen and Andy, who were huge figures of comedy to me. I wanted to be them because they made me feel like I was being brought up by a comedy team. They were very much like my second and third father because we all lived very close together. That boisterous energy, that joy, was something that I wanted to always feel. My father and my uncles were definitely the reason I smoked marijuana. They made it look really cool. My dad could smoke me under the dashboard. He would drive me to college and we'd be getting high on the way there. I'd pass out and he’d keep going.
Holy shit.
I started wanting to act when I saw A Night at the Opera when I was around six years old. I was also obsessed with comedy as a kid, then I got into high school and I started to learn about plays and that got me more obsessed with acting in general. I started to learn about acting, then I went to conservatory and it was all constantly illuminating; still is. Whenever I see a new performance that inspires me—of new and of old that I haven't seen—it just reinvigorates me, like, This is the way to do it. The first time I saw the Cassavetes movies and those actors, it's just like, That's another way I want to be.
What do you think is the role of an actor on the broad spectrum of humanity?
We do serve a function in the world. We're people who an audience can identify with. We entertain, and also hold up a mirror. Acting is something where you can really present flaws in a safe, protected way. The audience is protected in how they experience it, rather than some of the other arts where you're more directly relating the person to the piece that's being made. It gives you the freedom to be flawed right now, which there isn't a lot of. I'm not pointing a finger, Cancel culture this and cancel culture that, and oh no, no. I do believe that we need to keep evolving and changing and we shouldn't be further traumatizing any disenfranchised or oppressed groups. I think that we should keep investigating how to be responsibly provocative and observe our blind spots. I also think we have to be able to accept more of the nuance of making mistakes in life, the nuance of not being perfect. Acting is something that really allows that because you're safe in playing a character. The audience is safe and watching that character.
What role does comedy play in your life?
If it wasn't for comedy, I'd be dead. I seriously think so. I had no idea of how to do it at all. I don't think I was funny until I was 16 years old, maybe 15. When I watched all of those actors I mentioned before, they were like my family growing up. They my life source. Marx brothers, Mel Brooks, Peter Sellers, the original Saturday Night Live cast, Bill Murray, John Belushi, Gilda Radner, Madeline Kahn, Harvey Korman, Gene Wilder, Eddie Murphy, Steve Martin, Robin Williams; I was obsessed. It fed me. I'd watch my favorite comedies over and over and over again in the same day. It fused itself with my DNA. Comedy gives you a place to take how awful life can be and how awful you can be and laugh at that. To laugh in those moments, it's like a gift that you've been given… Being able to make other people laugh is a real joy. I want to be recognized as a great dramatic actor too. I really don't think that there is that far of a line between great comedic acting and great dramatic acting most of the time. I think that there are comedic actors who can't do drama, because in a way they're not acting. They're playing the comedy, in the same way that some dramatic actors over-intellectualize or over-complicate being funny.
I just saw Macbeth a few weeks ago, with Daniel Craig and Ruth Negga. It was really funny at times, and I thought that's what they really nailed down. Shakespeare can be funny through the drama.
Shakespeare's a prime example. You watch Lynch films or even a Michael Haneke film and it's so fucked up, but especially Lynch is meaning to be funny when he is nightmarish. I don't know if anybody else besides me would find certain moments in Michael Haneke films funny. But it's just so nightmarish that I'm just like, Wow. To be able to let your imagination go there is the equivalent of letting your imagination go to a funny place. I've had shame over being funny at times. I think you're discriminated against when you're funny as an actor. I'm still delving into a role no matter how funny something is. In my four minutes in The Other Guys, I'm going into Will [Ferrell] and Adam’s [McKay] tone in that. I'm drawing from the pain of alienation and the desperation to be liked and I'm using that. I came up doing a lot of alternative stand-up, sketch, and improv. I never made my special. I was so inspired by Bo Burnham's Inside. I respected that so much; it's very much my vibe. I'm different and he's different than everybody else. But I saw it and thought, I want to do that. I haven't done live comedy in a while and I get scared sometimes that if I do that, it's going to hurt me and the growth of my dramatic career. I think that's a way in which I hold myself back and put myself in a box. I want comedy to start playing a more active role in my life again as well.
You've obviously starred in some big roles. Do you have a favorite so far? And what was the process like preparing for that?
I've been really lucky to work with a lot of incredible artists and play a lot of incredible roles. If I had to choose, gun to my head, I would say it would be Isaac in Janicza Bravo’s Lemon. I co-wrote that with her. That said, if you're working with Janicza, its Janicza's show and you're serving Janicza's vision. A lot of me is in that writing. Once we had written the script, it was about trusting her vision, because she's a genius. Preparing for that role was a lot of delving into the pain of where it came from in writing it. There was also a lot of physical work; Janicza is also a very physical director. She loves blocking. She loves to make film theater. We did walking rehearsals, we did gesture rehearsals. On top of that, I would go to my acting coach at the time and do all these different exercises to really access the pain of my character. A lot of that was delving into my own pain, practicing substitution and sense memory because that's really what Method is: sense memory.
The Method is not being the character all the time. The Method is using pieces of yourself in order to connect to the character through sensory exercises. Being the character all the time is something else. But that is what is popularly known as being Method. For me, it's always using a lot of myself and then physicalizing the role and constantly doing this whole whirlwind process of having the character meet you, while not bringing yourself into it too much, using what of you can be used and then physicalizing the character, but not doing it so much that you're doing a caricature. It's a messy process for me, but I'm a messy guy.
How do you find your own personal style? Do you have any style heroes?
My own personal style is sort of a mixed bag. I like to be tailored, but I also like doing an oversized look. I love high fashion. I love designers and labels, but I also love street fashion. I like to be eclectic within those parameters. I feel like I'm still learning too. I love the art of fashion. To limit yourself in terms of what it is that you can wear or are willing to wear is equal to limiting yourself in any other way. In terms of style heroes… I have a whole '70s thing sometimes, like a tribute to Jack Nicholson and Elliott Gould. I also love nautical wear and denim wear. Tailored looks of Paul Newman are very inspiring to me. I love Tom Ford's personal style. I love New York '90s style.
I love this whole oversized moment that we're having with brands like Aimé Leon Dore and Balenciaga that are really capturing it in an exciting way. They’re capturing the '90s in the way that Bode is capturing the '70s. It’s their take, a futuristic take, on those periods to me. Then there’s Ye workwear and leather style. I haven't gone into the leather zone yet. I'd like to venture into that Balenciaga leather thing.
What are some of your favorite places to shop?
I love Aimé Leon Dore. I love Bode. I love Dries Van Noten. I love the classics like YSL and Gucci, but I don't have a lot of that clothing because it's really expensive. My go-to place in L.A. is Mohawk General. I just think the guys who work there have such amazing taste and they go back and forth between all of these different styles that I'm talking about. They have a wide representation of that there, and they have a wide knowledge. They're very artistic in how they help me shop for looks there. Same with the guys at Aimé Leon Dore here [in New York]. They know what's going to look good on you. If you put on a piece, they're not going to try and hawk it to you and convince you to buy it. They'll tell you that’s not working and they immediately know what to pull for me. I love Thom Browne. Yeah, I love a lot of the people that a lot of the people love. I love Jerry Lorenzo's style. I like the way he's putting Fear of God together. He’s taken street and he's taken fashion to a whole new level. I don't mean street in a derogatory way, the street arts are high art to me.
What are some staples you think every guy should have in his closet? What are your three favorite pieces in your wardrobe?
You need denim; a good pair of blue jeans, a good pair of vintage Levi's, or some great Japanese denim. You need a white pair of Air Force 1s. You need beige Wallabees and white tees. As for favorites, I have this oversized, Japanese corduroy, Sillage suit. I got it at Mohawk and the guys that sold it to me said nobody in the United States had worn it yet. So, my narcissism of course loves that. This Dries Van Noten tropical pajama set that I wore to the Zola premiere, I love very much. Finally it's an oldie, but goodie, I have this vintage YSL Hawaiian shirt that I will never get rid of.
I'm a huge film guy. I'm especially curious to get a talented actor's favorite movies of late.
I think Zola is a masterpiece and it was the most needed film of the last five years, both for cinema and for who it represented and who it was told by. It’s empathy incarnate. It is a piece that like people can enjoy on many levels. I'd say Uncut Gems is a major favorite. Sandler's performance in that is one of the greatest film performances of all time and maybe the best dramatic performance next to his performance in Punch Drunk Love. I loved The Square. I think Ruben Östlund is really special and mixes a lot of tones together very effectively. With all four of these filmmakers, they're able to bounce through in an industry that's obsessed with talking about tone and categorizing tone in a very limited way. They don't pay attention to that. They're able to give a variety of tones and form that into one thing.
What does being Jewish mean to you?
Being Jewish means being very funny, very neurotic. I’m really into redefining the sexy Jew in this day and age. I think antisemitism is the whispered bigotry. I think that being Jewish means that you're hated by everybody. To white people you're not white. To people of color, you're white. And both are true. We're hated by the left and we're hated by the right. I'm not saying that we're more oppressed than other oppressed groups in this country. This makes us funny and really neurotic and aggressive a lot of the time, but I'm into harnessing all of that in what I do and how I present myself in my life and in my work, even in a sexy way when it calls for it. Obviously I don't need to only play sexy characters. I've certainly played characters who are not, but I'm really interested in pushing that sexuality right now.
Is there anything you can share about the new season of Stranger Things?
I'm really excited for people to see this season. This is actually the first time I've talked about it since I've seen some episodes. Murray is one of my favorite characters that I've ever played and I am so grateful to the Duffers for allowing me to be a part of this. It's one of the greatest things ever made and this season is high fucking octane. It is every genre taken to the millionth percent. It is so fucking good. I've felt that way about every season, but I feel like the Duffers topped themselves with this one. All of us under their leadership did as well. I'm in it more than I've ever been and I'm so grateful for that. | https://www.esquire.com/style/mens-fashion/a40121015/brett-gelman-stranger-things-five-fits-interview/ | 2022-05-27T19:54:39Z | https://www.esquire.com/style/mens-fashion/a40121015/brett-gelman-stranger-things-five-fits-interview/ | false | 1 |
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Izaya Fullard singled through the left side of the infield with two outs in the top of the ninth inning, scoring Michael Seegers and sending No. 3 seed Iowa to a 5-4 victory over No. 7 seed Purdue in an elimination game at the Big Ten Tournament on Friday.
Iowa (34-18) will play an elimination game on Saturday against the loser of Friday's game between No. 2 seed Rutgers and No. 6 seed Penn State.
The Hawkeyes scored the winning run when Seegers reached on a one-out single off Purdue reliever Landon Weins (3-4). Seegers moved up a base on a foul out and the Boilermakers intentionally walked Keaton Anthony. Fullard delivered his RBI single on a 0-2 count.
Troy Viola led off the bottom of the second with a home run to give Purdue (29-22) a 1-0 lead.
The Hawkeyes took the lead with a three-run fifth. Sam Petersen led off with an infield single and took second on a sacrifice bunt by Cade Moss. Ben Wilmes followed with a single to put runners on the corners and Petersen scored and Wilmes moved up a base on a wild pitch by Purdue starter CJ Backer. Huckstorf singled to move Wilmes to third and Wilmes scored when Seegers reached first on a fielder's choice bunt. Williams was hit by a pitch to load the bases and Huckstorf scored on a wild pitch for the third run.
Purdue got a run back in the bottom of the fifth. Evan Albrecht singled with one out and Ryan Howe followed with a ground-rule double. Albrecht scored on a ground out by Steve Ramirez.
Moss put Iowa up 4-2 with an RBI double in the sixth. The Boilermakers pulled even in the bottom of the inning. Cam Thompson singled home the first run and Paul Toetz scored on an error by Iowa third baseman Sher Brendan.
Will Christophersen (1-2) picked up the win for Iowa with 2 1/3 perfect innings in relief. He struck out five of the seven batters he faced.

Florida Gators remain in SEC Baseball Tournament with 7-5 upset of No. 3 seed Arkansas
No. 7 seed Florida remained in the SEC Baseball Tournament with a 7-5 upset Friday of Arkansas (38-18) at Hoover Met Stadium, as UF relied on 10 hits to eliminate the third-seeded Razorbacks from the conference tournament.
With the victory, the Gators (37-21) will face the loser of the matchup between Alabama and Texas A&M in Saturday’s fourth round. Game time set for 10:30 a.m.
"I thought we were much better today offensively than yesterday, obviously, but we got a lot of production from a lot of different guys in the lineup, which was good to see," UF coach Kevin O'Sullivan said, "and tried to use the short game a little bit more today to kind of get a little bit more offense going."
Here are takeaways from the game.
Game recap:Live score updates: Florida baseball faces Arkansas Razorbacks in SEC Tournament
David Whitley:Florida Gators baseball has turned a season to forget into a memorable one
Softball in NCAA:Live score updates: Florida Gators vs. Virginia Tech in NCAA softball super regional Game 1
Home runs key for both teams
Following a scoreless first, Florida took a 2-0 lead in the second on freshman Jac Caglianone’s two-RBI single up the middle, which scored Jud Fabian and Ty Evans. Caglianone added to UF’s lead in the fifth inning with a solo homer to right-center field.
Two outs later, Colby Halter hit a home run to right for UF’s third run of the game. The Razorbacks then walked Wyatt Langford, bringing Sterlin Thompson to the plate and ending Connor Noland’s afternoon on the mound for Arkansas. Thompson hit a single to right center off of Evan Taylor, and BT Riopelle hit a double to score Langford, giving the Gators a 5-0 lead through five innings of action.
The Razorbacks got on the scoreboard in the top of the sixth inning with consecutive solo home runs, cutting Florida’s advantage to 5-2. But UF answered right back in the bottom of the frame with a solo home run by Jud Fabian and an RBI single from Halter, and like that the five-run lead had been reinstated.
Facing elimination from the SEC Tournament, the Razorbacks managed to hit their third home run of the contest in the ninth inning after scoring on a passed ball, but Cayden Wallace grounded out to send Florida through to Saturday.
Jud Fabian capitalizes on shuffle in order
Jud Fabian hadn’t recorded a hit in his previous nine at-bats, but he bounced back in a monumental way Friday. Fabian snapped his hitless streak with a double in the second inning, which subsequently sent freshman Ty Evans to third base.
Evans and Fabian would score UF’s first two runs of the day on the very next at-bat. Fabian struck out in the fourth, but he managed to respond once again in his next appearance at the plate. Fabian opened the bottom of the sixth inning with his 21st home run of the season.
Fabian’s performance may have been a credit to a pre-game lineup change as O’Sullivan moved Fabian from the three-hole spot to batting fifth in the order. Riopelle hit third, with Evans hitting in the clean-up spot.
"I think maybe just take a little pressure off and maybe moving somebody down just a couple spots, moving somebody up a couple spots may make a difference, but sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't," O'Sullivan said of the change in the order. "But today maybe (it) took a little pressure off some of the hitters, and obviously our approach was better today than it was yesterday."
Jac Caglianone puts UF up early
Freshman Jac Caglianone wasn’t initially expected to contribute for the Gators this season, but his availability at the plate continues to pay dividends for Florida.
Caglianone put UF up 2-0 with a first-pitch single in the second inning, and his home run in the fifth inning extended UF’s lead to 3-0. It marked Caglianone’s fifth home run of the season. In the sixth inning, Caglianone was hit by a pitch before he could extend his streak at the plate.
Nick Pogue leaves little time for Arkansas to adjust
From the opening frame, Nick Pogue kept the Razorbacks consistently guessing by maintaining a swift pace. Pogue struck out eight batters and allowed just four hits across 5.0 innings of action, giving the Melbourne native his fourth win of the season. Pogue's eight strikeouts tied his career-high.
Pogue made way for Blake Purnell in the sixth inning after allowing consecutive home runs, the only runs he would allow on the afternoon.
"Obviously, they ran his pitch count up a little bit. I think he got to about 80 pitches through five," O'Sullivan said of Pogue. "But he really pitched to both sides of the plate with his fastball today.
Meanwhile, the Gators were able to build a five-run advantage over the Razorbacks during Pogue’s stay on the mound. Ryan Slater, who came on in the seventh, got the save for the Gators.
"Nick Pogue was really good, gave us another quality start. Blake came in for an inning and then obviously we stretched out Ryan there at the end and did a real nice job," O'Sullivan said. "Credit Arkansas, they battled right there until the end and were one hit away from getting the tying run to the plate. Looking forward to playing tomorrow and hopefully playing a little bit better." | https://www.gatorsports.com/story/more-sports/2022/05/27/florida-gators-baseball-schedule-uf-sec-tournament-arkansas-razorbacks/9940708002/ | 2022-05-27T19:58:27Z | https://www.gatorsports.com/story/more-sports/2022/05/27/florida-gators-baseball-schedule-uf-sec-tournament-arkansas-razorbacks/9940708002/ | true | 1 |

Editor’s note: This story has been updated to reflect the current status of Shannon Lee Michael Candelario, a suspect in the April 12 shooting. Candelario survived the shooting.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – Albuquerque Police released new details, photos and videos Friday two recent officer shooting cases in March and April. One shooting happened following a murder at an Albuquerque hotel, while the other shooting happened during a stolen car investigation at motel in the southeast part of the city.
The first case discussed surrounded a suspect named Shannon Lee Michael Candelario. The 46-year-old was shot by officers in the parking lot of Albuquerque Motel 6 as officers converged on Candelario, attempting to arrest him. That shooting happened last month, on April 12 around 9:45 p.m.
In a news conference shortly after the shooting, APD Chief Harold Medina said the Candelario shooting unfolded after officers tracked a stolen car to the Motel 6 along Central, just west of Tramway. That’s right across from the 4 Hills Village shopping complex.
Chief Medina said police fired shots at Candelario shortly after officers tried stopping the stolen car. It’s unclear exactly what happened between Candelario and officers before the shooting. In the same initial news conference after Candelario was shot, APD said a gun was not found with the suspect.
Candelario was wounded, but survived the shooting. He remains in an Albuquerque hospital recovering from injuries.
APD is also expected to release new information today in the March 29 police shooting involving a murder suspect, Donovan Bookout, 44. Bookout is accused of killing a 38-year old security guard, Daniel Mora, at the Ambassador Inn shortly before police arrived.
According to APD, officers were patrolling the hotel parking lot at Candelaria and I-40 when they were alerted to a possible shooting inside the building. Police say surveillance video shows Bookout shot the security guard, Mora, as he made was making his rounds through the hotel hallways. Mora died from his injuries.
Police say Bookout then ran from the scene, carjacked a man at gunpoint and led officers on a chase, even crashing into two patrol cars. Police say Donovan Bookout fired several times at officers when officers fired back. During the shooting, APD says no officers were hit with gunfire and neither was the suspect, Bookout.
This is a developing news story.

Idaho trial for Chad and Lori Daybell delayed to January
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A woman charged in Idaho with killing her two youngest children and her new husband’s previous wife will be tried alongside her husband and their trial has been delayed until early next year because the judge says that will give her lawyers enough time to effectively prepare a defense.
Judge Steven Boyce on Thursday ruled that delaying Lori Vallow Daybell’s trial another 90 days to Jan. 9 would not violate her rights for a speedy trial.
Vallow and her husband Chad Daybell have pleaded not guilty and could face the death penalty if they are convicted.
The Daybells are charged with murder, conspiracy and grand theft in connection with the deaths of 7-year-old Joshua “JJ” Vallow and 17-year-old Tylee Ryan.
Idaho law enforcement began investigating the Daybells in November 2019 after extended family members reported the children were missing. While the children were missing, police said the couple lied about the children’s whereabouts. Their bodies were found buried later on Chad Daybell’s property in rural Idaho.
Chad and Lori Daybell married just two weeks after his previous wife, Tammy Daybell, died unexpectedly. Tammy Daybell’s death was initially reported as “natural causes,” but investigators had her body exhumed after growing suspicious when Chad Daybell quickly remarried.
Lori Vallow Daybell is also charged with conspiracy to commit murder in Arizona in connection with the death of her previous husband. Charles Vallow was shot and killed by Lori Daybell’s brother, Alex Cox, who claimed it was self-defense. Cox later died of what police said was natural causes.
Vallow in April entered a not guilty plea and invoked her right to a speedy trial, which legally needed to take place by October. That complicated plans for a combined trial for her and her husband.
On May 19, prosecutors asked that Vallow’s trial be postponed until Jan. 9. Prosecutors expressed concern that if Vallow was tried separately in October that an “improper severance” would happen with the couple’s cases.
Boyce also expressed concern whether Vallow’s recently appointed attorneys had enough time to prepare for the trial and said the 90-day delay would give them more. He noted that prosecutors have worked on the case since 2020.

Kimberley local Kevin Honeyman is currently promoting the release of a feature-length film documenting the Sullivan Challenge Skateboard Race, which after 20 years is now the longest-running annual skateboard race in the world.
The film is entitled Twenty Years of the Sullivan Challenge and will premier July 1, 2022 at the Kimberley Conference Centre, with tickets available from the Berley Skate storefront or from https://berleyskate.com/
READ MORE: The 20th-annual Sullivan Challenge Longboard Race
Kimberley-based Berley Skate is one of the presenting sponsors of the documentary film. The company has been making longboards for Landyachtz since 1997 and in 2014 opened a factory storefront in Kimberley. The film follows Berley owner and race organizer since the first one back in 2002, Jody Willcock, during the buildup to the 20th Sullivan Challenge.
WATCH THE TRAILER:
Honeyman, a local musician, handled the production and editing of the project and created its soundtrack, no small feat to say the least. First he had to dig up all his footage and contact other racers and spectators to get theirs from the past two decades, sift through all of it for the best shots and then edit it all together into an hour and a half long feature film.

He can’t be exactly sure, but Honeyman suspects he’s into the thousands of hours for this project
“I’ve been wanting to do something like this for a while so I spoke to Honeyman because he’s capable and an old friend and he took the challenge,” Willcock told the Bulletin. “It was all him, he put in so much effort. And of course it’s featuring all his music, he’s been hard at work making tons of original stuff lately, so this is a big compilation of his last couple years of work.”
There’s always been at least a couple of cameras rolling at this race, an extremely popular attraction that always coincides with Kimberley’s annual July Fest. Willcock remembers at the very first one there was four people who shot some footage of the race, so he put together a 20 minute movie with it on his ancient computer.
“Ever since there’s always people with footage, it’s just hard to get it out of their closets,” he said. “It’s easier to get it now. Because there was such a small group of us in the early days, we all knew each other so we knew who had footage and it’s just a matter of convincing them to dig it out.”
Honeyman said the idea of putting together some media and starting to post on YouTube is something they’ve talked about for years. This new film is a jumping off point for that.
Throughout the 20 years the race has been held, a lot of different skateboarders have participated, the gear has improved and the race has gotten faster, but there’s always been a fairly familiar atmosphere that comes along with it.
“We’ve had three generations of skateboarders really come through, but it’s always the same thing. I don’t even know what to call it,” Honeyman said. “Just the camaraderie of the skateboarders and how it works with the town at the time, it works really well together. So that’s always stayed the same, but you can really see the progression of downhill skateboarding throughout the film.”
Willcock’s involvement with skateboarding goes well beyond organizing the first race in 2002. In the late 1980s at age 14, he applied and was approved for a loan from the Kimberley Credit Union to start a skateboard retail shop out of his bedroom, because there was nowhere to get boards locally at the time.
A couple years later the Credit Union gave him an award for being the youngest person to receive a business loan from them. Flash forward to 2014, he, alongside partners Noah Wesche and Aaron Christensen, bought the building that formerly housed the bank and transformed it into a retail and manufacturing space for their innovative skateboard designs, which they make for longboard giant Landyachtz out of Vancouver.
He has a great crew working right now, who churn out around 30 boards a day, with 80 per cent of their product going to China and Korea and the rest to North America, Brazil and Germany for the most part.
Over the many years he’s been in love with the sport, skateboarding has had many ebbs and flows, usually a big cycle every decade, Willock thinks. For example, at the races he’s been involved with on the Sunshine Coast some years they’ve had 150 racers, others they’ve had 12.
“If you quit on the bottom it’s gone, but if you survive the bottom of the gully it goes back up,” he said. “Usually it’s every ten years, kids drag their dads’ boards out of the closet, is what I think it is. And now there’s way more girls in there, so it’s a pretty even split of people buying skateboards right now, so girls are dragging their dad’s skateboards out of the closets and that seems to be this next wave.”
Willcock said he’s very excited to premier the film to Kimberley later this summer. He said that not only is it a great time capsule of the race itself, but of the people of Kimberley and July Fest. He can’t wait to watch people’s reactions to it and he’s personally not sick of it after countless viewings over the film’s development.
“The one test we did, I try not to show it to too many people to keep it special for the day, but showing it to people who don’t know any of this crew and aren’t skateboarders, to see their reaction and they seemed glued to it as well,” Willcock said. “So I think Kevin hit the mark. If you know nothing about us or skateboard racing and you still find it entertaining then yeah he did a good job.”
As far as future of the Sullivan Challenge, Honeyman said he hopes to see it go on forever and that it likely will as long as Willcock is involved. Willock seemed to agree.
“It would be nice if someone stepped up to take over one day but I doubt it, it’ll go down with me I’m sure,” Willcock said. “But that’s why these events last so long, because we’re the weirdos that keep doing it no matter what.”

SEATTLE (AP)J.P. Crawford stepped forward to present a brave face after all that’s gone wrong over the past month for a Seattle Mariners team that began the season with so much enthusiasm and optimism.
”No one likes to lose, especially the way we are right now, especially games I think we should be winning,” Crawford said. ”It’s frustrating, but you can’t look down on it. You got to keep going about it.”
The Mariners started the season with the hope of ending the longest playoff drought in the majors only to see those hopes dwindle during an awful 30-day stretch that has left them in last place in the American League West.
The Mariners were 11-6 after a fourth straight win and led the division on April 26. Seattle has since lost 21 of 28 and is 11 games behind the division-leading Houston Astros, the team coming to town Friday to begin a three-game series.
Seattle’s struggles have been punctuated by key injuries exposing a lack of depth, lackluster performances by players expected to be key contributors and a painful regression by a bullpen that was among the best in baseball a year ago.
Forty-five games don’t make a season. But the Mariners know their turnaround must get started now if they’re to make something of their expectations.
”We’re at a critical part of our season here. I think everybody realizes that,” manager Scott Servais said. ”It doesn’t help to try any harder. You just have to go out and play and do your job. And if everybody does their job, we’ll be OK. We’re scuffling right now.”
Part of Seattle’s problem is how it presented itself entering the season, which has led to fan resentment, anger and borderline apathy due to the recent losses. The Mariners openly talked of the playoffs and how they were emerging from a rebuild.
The moves to bring in reigning AL Cy Young winner Robbie Ray, All-Stars Jesse Winker and Adam Frazier and slugger Eugenio Suarez spoke to that belief.
But Ray hasn’t found his Cy Young form from last season with seemingly one blowup inning per start. Winker is hitting .216, nearly 100 points lower than where he finished last season with Cincinnati.
And for all the talk of how Seattle’s farm system had become one of the best in baseball, the number of players ready to contribute in the majors is woefully small. An ankle injury to Mitch Haniger combined with the struggles of prized prospect Jarred Kelenic that led to a demotion to the minors left Seattle’s outfield depth so thin that veteran Justin Upton was signed and expected to join the team in the near future.
Even Crawford’s strong start, a potential All-Star season from Ty France and the emergence of rookie Julio Rodriguez haven’t been enough to overcome obvious holes in Seattle’s lineup.
Seattle’s relief pitching has also been shaky with a 4.34 ERA among relievers that’s 25th in baseball and is tied for 23rd with 22 homers allowed. A season ago, Seattle’s relief staff was eighth in ERA, fourth in homers allowed and 11th in batting average against.
So now the Mariners are teetering on the edge of irrelevance a season after a surprising 90-win campaign that captivated the city even though it fell short of ending the playoff drought, which stretches back to 2001.
There are still 117 games remaining but to get to 90 wins now the Mariners would have to play .615 ball (72-45) the rest of the way.
”We’ve got more than 100 games to go. We’ve got a bunch of time. You can’t press right now,” Crawford said. ”You’ve got to keep going day by day, keep preparing the way we are before each game and go about it.”

US, Netherlands call for action on decaying Yemeni supertanker
The two countries warn of potential economic, environmental and humanitarian effects if FSO Safer spills or explodes.
The United States and the Netherlands have called for international action to address the “imminent threats” of a decrepit oil supertanker holding more than one million barrels of oil off the coast of Yemen.
The two countries issued a joint statement on Friday warning of the potential economic, environmental and humanitarian effects of an oil spill from FSO Safer, which they described as “decaying and unstable”.
“It could leak, spill, or explode at any time, severely disrupting shipping routes in the Gulf region and other industries across the Red Sea region, unleashing an environmental disaster, and worsening the humanitarian crisis in Yemen,” the statement said.
The supertanker has been called a “ticking timebomb” by experts and environmental advocates.
Last month, the United Nations unveiled a plan to offload the oil from the supertanker to a temporary vessel across four months.
“Both the FSO Safer and the temporary vessel would remain in place until all the oil is transferred to the permanent replacement vessel,” the plan reads. “The FSO Safer would then be towed to a yard and sold for salvage.”
The UN said the plan has the backing of the internationally recognised Yemeni government in Aden, and a “memorandum of understanding has been signed” with the Houthi rebels, who control the area where the FSO Safer is located.
On Friday, the US and the Netherlands warned against delaying the plan.
“By October, high winds and volatile currents will make the UN operation more dangerous and increase the risk of the ship breaking apart. In the event of a spill, the cleanup alone is expected to cost $20 billion,” their joint statement read.
Overall funding also appears to be an issue. The scheme would cost $144m, including $80m for the initial emergency operation.
The Netherlands and the US called on governments and the private sector to help finance the effort.
“We urge public and private donors to consider generous contributions to help prevent a leak, spill, or explosion, whose effects would destroy livelihoods, tourism, and commerce in one of the world’s vital shipping lanes,” they said.
They added that a pledging event last month raised nearly half of the amount needed for the emergency operation, but “more is urgently needed to move forward”.
In addition to the environmental threat and danger to international shipping routes, a spill from the supertanker – located west of Ras Issa on the Red Sea – could close the nearby ports of Hodeidah and Saleef, disrupting the flow of vital goods to assistance-dependent Yemen, UN officials have warned.
The US and the Netherlands’ call for action comes amid UN efforts to renew a fragile truce that had brought a halt to the fighting in Yemen since early April. The temporary ceasefire is set to expire at the beginning of June.
“We have sought to consolidate and to reinforce the truce not only because it brings additional stability and security to the people of Yemen, but because it has very practical effects,” US Department of State spokesperson Ned Price said earlier this week.
“It has allowed humanitarian aid to reach individuals in parts of Yemen that have not been able to receive adequate aid for far too long.” | https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/5/27/us-netherlands-call-for-action-on-decaying-yemeni-supertanker | 2022-05-27T20:11:00Z | https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/5/27/us-netherlands-call-for-action-on-decaying-yemeni-supertanker | false | 1 |
EBENSBURG, Pa. – The recount in the Pennsylvania Republican primary for U.S. Senate is scheduled to take place next week in Cambria and Somerset counties and across the state.
Fewer than 1,000 votes separated the two leading candidates – Dr. Mehmet Oz and David McCormick. The separation between the candidates fell under the 0.5% margin needed to trigger a recount under Pennsylvania law.
At least seven counties, including Bedford County, began recounting votes Friday.
Cambria and Somerset counties will begin their recounts on Wednesday, June 1, elections officials said.
Staff and volunteers will recount more than 31,000 ballots between the two counties.
In Somerset County, Director of Elections Tina Pritts said seven people will work on the recount process, which she said she expects to take one day.
About 14,000 Republican ballots were cast in Somerset County, according to unofficial returns from the Department of State.
Pritts said that two “high speed” scanners will be used for the process. She added that one is normally used on election day.
In Cambria County, Elections Director Maryann Dillon said about 19 individuals including staff and elections volunteers will help with the recount of Cambria’s 17,680 Republican ballots.
Dillion explained that instead of feeding the ballots through the machines in the elections office, the recount is done by using the types of scanners that would be found at a voting precinct.
She estimated the process would take one to two days.
Neither director had cost estimates of the recount but Pritts said that costs are typically reimbursed.
“In prior recounts, the Department of State has reimbursed the counties for the cost of the recount and that's calculated or reimbursed based on calculations from the Department of State,” she said.
The winner of the Republican race will take on the Democratic nominee, Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, in November’s midterm contest.
Counties have until June 7 to finish recounts and another day to report results to the state. | https://www.tribdem.com/news/local-counties-prepare-for-state-recount-in-gop-senate-primary/article_1822302a-ddef-11ec-8eda-f37e462adc40.html | 2022-05-27T20:11:50Z | https://www.tribdem.com/news/local-counties-prepare-for-state-recount-in-gop-senate-primary/article_1822302a-ddef-11ec-8eda-f37e462adc40.html | true | 1 |

Chelsea defender Levi Colwill will be putting the finishing touches on his breakout season on loan at Huddersfield Town this weekend, as he’s set to play the Championship promotion playoff final against Nottingham Forest on Sunday. Even if his team fail to move up to the Premier League, Colwill has already shown that he’s ready — his season giving off similar vibes to the seasons that Mason Mount, Fikayo Tomori, Reece James, or Tammy Abraham had in the second division before being given first-team opportunities at Chelsea.
We’re not the only ones to notice of course. According to a report from Goal, Arsenal and Leicester City are two of several Premier League teams lining up in interest, alongside the likes of Brighton & Hove Albion, Crystal Palace and Southampton. They will all be keeping their eyes peeled during Sunday’s final, though one game should not be the deciding factor in whether Colwill is good enough for Premier League football at this point in his career.
In fact the 19-year-old should be getting that opportunity already from Thomas Tuchel later this summer, especially with Chelsea losing centre backs Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rüdiger to Barcelona and Real Madrid, respectively, and possibly Marcos Alonso and César Azpilicueta as well. Even if we bring in Jules Koundé for big money in the transfer market, we will need more than just one pair of legs as we begin the rebuild.
Obviously, nothing is set in stone and we have seen plenty of our own promising players leave, for various reasons — fellow centre backs Fikayo Tomori, now Serie A champion with AC Milan, and Crystal Palace’s Marc Guéhi doing so just last year for example. But hopefully that won’t be the case with Colwill, and he will follow in the example of Trevoh Chalobah instead.
Arsenal and Leicester are among clubs interested in Chelsea loan star Levi Colwill this summer. He is preparing for the Championship Play-Off final with Huddersfield on Sunday and lots of scouts will be watching him: https://t.co/cw4Mau84Bl

Summer is the season to hit the great outdoors, and having a new toy, like a boat or RV, is a dream for many people. But with interest rate hikes, spikes in the cost of oil and general economic uncertainty, you may be hesitant to make a big purchase right now.
Financing options, such as a secured loan, can make the purchase more manageable by spreading out payments. But borrowing isn’t right for everyone. Look at your budget and take into account other expenses, like storage, maintenance and gas.
Should you finance a big summer purchase?
Before deciding if and how you should finance, check in with yourself about why you want to make the purchase, says Jarrod Sandra, a certified financial planner based in Crowley, Texas. According to Sandra, clients are sometimes motivated by the idea of a boat or RV, not the reality.
“I think especially around toys, you get this ‘American dream feeling’ of waterskiing behind the boat every Saturday or being out in the beautiful wilderness,” he says.
Sandra, who once owned a camper, says this dream doesn’t always pan out. Maybe you rarely have time on the weekends to hit the water, or the remote campsite you envisioned is actually loud and crowded.
For those sure they want to buy, the choice of whether to borrow money depends largely on your overall financial picture, says Marianne Nolte, a certified financial planner based in Fallbrook, California, and an avid boater.
“Everything comes back to budgeting,” Nolte says. “It doesn’t matter if you’re a 25-year-old and you’re saving for your first house or you’re a 50-year-old who is settled in their financial journey. You have to make sure, cash-flow-wise, you’re not going to do damage to your monthly expenses.”
Nolte adds that just because you can afford the monthly payments on a loan doesn’t mean you should automatically get one. Make sure you’re also not forgoing larger goals, like saving for retirement, in order to cover the payments.
Both Nolte and Sandra recommend a test drive, like joining a boat club or renting an RV for the weekend, to get your feet wet before committing to the purchase.
Financing for boats, RVs and smaller toys
If you’re going to finance a large summer toy, you’ll probably need a secured or unsecured loan.
Secured loans are generally the most affordable option and are available at banks, credit unions and some dealers. Since the purchase itself serves as collateral, interest rates tend to be lower, and you can often qualify for a longer repayment term, sometimes up to 20 years.
One of the best ways to get approved for a secured loan is to provide a down payment of at least 10%, says Michael Lax, executive vice president and head of RV Marine Sales at Bank of the West.
Credit history also matters. If you’ve financed a similar purchase in the past, like with a car loan, it can go a long way toward making the approval process easier, Lax says.
Unsecured personal loans are another financing option and are offered by online lenders, banks and credit unions. These loans don’t require collateral, so you won’t risk losing the item if you fail to repay. Lending decisions are based on creditworthiness, income and existing debt, but annual percentage rates may be higher and repayment terms shorter, compared with a secured loan.
Some lenders let you pre-qualify for an unsecured loan, which is a smart way to check potential terms and compare different loans without affecting your credit score.
Borrowers eyeing smaller toys — think a personal watercraft or an all-terrain vehicle — may consider a credit card. But especially in an environment of rising credit card interest rates, you’ll want to pay off the balance as soon as possible. The cost of the purchase may also drive up your credit utilization ratio, which could affect your credit score.
If you have good or excellent credit, a 0% APR card can be a smart choice. You’ll pay no interest as long as you pay off the card before the promotional period expires and the regular APR sets in.
Consider related costs before making a final decision
The purchase price isn’t the only expense to keep in mind. Depending on the vehicle you buy, there’s an assortment of related costs you’ll want to budget for.
Storage and transportation are some of the biggest. Though smaller items can live in your garage, larger items like boats may need to be stored offsite at a marina or parking facility. You’ll also need to transport the item, which may require a trailer and adding a hitch to your car or truck.
Maintenance is another concern. Similar to cars, toys require regular maintenance to stay in good condition, whether it’s changing a tire, checking the oil or preparing the vehicle for colder temperatures.
Gas, insurance and one-time fees, like docking or campsite expenses, should also be accounted for as you budget for the purchase.

Which solar power bank is best?
A power bank is a nifty gadget to have if you know that a wall socket or charging adapter won’t be available for some time. For example, when you go on a five-day hike over a section of the Appalachian Trail, you know that an electrical outlet will be a luxury.
But even regular power banks go flat and must be recharged to use them again. With no socket in sight to charge your phone or power bank, the best solution is to hook up your gadgets to a solar power bank. The QiSa 38,800mAh Solar Power Bank With Dual 3.1A Outputs is an excellent option; it’s waterproof and features a built-in flashlight.
What to know before you buy a solar power bank
Understand how it works
As the name implies, a solar power bank relies on the power of the sun to recharge. While it also can recharge through a USB cable like a regular battery, that isn’t always possible. So, to ensure that you always have power available, it comes with a series of small solar panels to soak up the rays. The panels are much smaller than those on sustainable-energy houses, but the principle is the same.
Battery charging time
As you would expect, the more solar panels you have, the faster the power bank charges. But if you are out in the woods, you definitely don’t want to carry an extra bag just for additional panels. So, the charging time is much slower than regular charging through a USB. Typically, you can expect to get a full charge after leaving it in sunlight for about 24 hours.
It needs direct sunlight — and lots of it
The charging time of a solar power bank is related to how many or how big the solar panels are, but direct sunlight is crucial. The tiny photoelectric cells are made from monocrystalline or polycrystalline silicon and perform best in bright, direct sunlight. The panels still deliver a charge if they are in the shade or it’s overcast, but at a reduced charging capacity.
What to look for in a quality solar power bank
Simultaneous connections
Taking so long to fully charge, you probably want to make the best of the situation by plugging as many devices into it as possible. That is why a good-quality solar charger handles three or four simultaneous connections. But you must consider which charging connections your devices use, as solar power banks often only support one or two types. The most common are a micro USB connection for Android phones and a Lightning connection for Apple devices.
The capacity of the battery
Solar power banks aren’t that much different from regular battery packs when it comes to capacity. Measured in milliampere-hours, the capacity relates to how much of a charge it can hold when full. For example, an iPhone 13 has a 3,227mAh battery. A power bank with a maximum capacity of 6,000mAh should recharge the phone almost twice. Naturally, the larger the capacity, the more times it can recharge a device. A good-quality power bank has a capacity of at least 10,000mAh.
Adjustable solar panels
With the entire power bank reliant on direct sunlight, it is critical that you have as many solar panels as possible. While basic power banks have one flat panel on their bodies, a good-quality solar battery has multiple. Some are extendable or fold out, so you can adjust the panel according to the sun’s position.
How much you can expect to spend on a solar power bank
The price of a solar power bank depends on the capacity of the battery and the technology of the solar panels. A basic model with an average capacity costs $20-$30, while a power bank with fold-out panels and a higher capacity costs $40-$80.
Solar power bank FAQ
What’s the difference between a solar power bank and a mobile charger?
A. While the two gadgets work on the same technological principle, a power bank stores the electrical charge in a battery. A solar mobile charger doesn’t have a built-in battery and charges a mobile device directly through sunlight.
Can you use a mobile charger to recharge a solar power bank?
A. Yes, in theory, that should be possible. It would be the same principle as using the sun to charge the power bank while it’s connected to a secondary USB charger. The best advice is to check the manual if recharging from two simultaneous sources is possible.

You’re cleaning your TV wrong – CHEAP methods will avoid damage and leave it sparkling
YOUR screen has your attention for hours a day - you should clean it properly.
Check out these tips for getting your TV squeaky clean.
To start, turn off your TV - it's safe to have the TV plugged in, but once the screen is off you'll be able to see the state of cleanliness or dirtiness you're working with.
You'll need a microfiber cloth - these are the ultra soft cloths are normally sold with a pair of sunglasses.
You can order a pack of microfiber cloths on Amazon for cheap - just $7 for a six pack.
Use the microfiber cloth to gently dust the surface and edges of your screen.
Very small amounts of distilled water are safe to apply to a flatscreen.
ZDNet notes distilled water "has had the impurities and minerals that exist in most locations' tap water removed, prevents any haze or residue from lingering on your display after cleaning."
Lightly dampen your microfiber cloth - a new one, not the one you used for the dry run - and apply it to your screen using minimal pressure.
Do not use additional cleaning chemicals.
Most read in News Tech
For spots that just won't clean, add a drop - literally, one drop - of dish soap to your water supply.
Note that if water is pouring down your screen, you've used far too much.
Remember, TV screens are more delicate than phone screens, which are built to be tapped and sense pressure.
Periodically clean your TV to keep it in good condition for years of use or a later resale.

Ramsey Fry signs for John Wood Trailblazers
AUGUSTA — After a solid high school basketball career, the basketball journey for Ramsey Fry, a Southeastern senior, is not over. On Thursday, May 26, Fry made it official at the high school student lounge by signing his National Letter of Intent to play basketball at John Wood Community College in Quincy.
Fry received numerous accolades for his prowess on the court, but also for his seeming humility of his character. Superintendent Todd Fox, in particular, commented on that aspect of Fry’s life.
Fox said that, in his office, Fry expressed reservations about being good enough to play college basketball. “At first, I thought he was just trying to be humble, when he was actually being vulnerable,” Fox recalled.
Fry’s basketball coach, Brett Ufkes, also participated in the program, citing Fry’s numerous accomplishments on the court. Fry had amassed 631 points, 220 rebounds, 136 assists, 107 steals, and 45 blocks.
Ufkes called Fry an “Elite Ball handler” in his ability to get the job done.
Southeastern Athletic Director Cyle Rigg, who served as program emcee, also offered his best wishes for Fry on becoming a Trailblazer. | https://www.mcdonoughvoice.com/story/sports/high-school/2022/05/27/ramsey-fry-signs-john-wood-trailblazers/9964701002/ | 2022-05-27T20:24:45Z | https://www.mcdonoughvoice.com/story/sports/high-school/2022/05/27/ramsey-fry-signs-john-wood-trailblazers/9964701002/ | false | 1 |
SEATTLE (AP) — Health officials in Washington state say a case of the monkeypox virus has been confirmed in the Seattle area.
On Friday the state Department of Health and Public Health — Seattle & King County confirmed the infection in a King County man who recently traveled to a country where other monkeypox cases had been identified. Officials had announced the case as presumptive earlier in the week.
The man wasn’t hospitalized and is recovering at home.
The Seattle Times reports that no additional presumptive monkeypox cases had been found in King County, though health officials continue to look for others who might have been exposed to the virus.
“Despite the news of multiple cases nationwide, monkeypox is a very rare disease in the United States and the Washington resident who tested positive does not pose a public health risk,” state Secretary of Health Dr. Umair Shah said in a statement.
The World Health Organization says nearly 200 cases of monkeypox have been reported in more than 20 countries not usually known to have outbreaks of the unusual disease, but described the epidemic as “containable” and proposed creating a stockpile to equitably share the limited vaccines and drugs available worldwide.
Ten monkeypox infections have been confirmed in the United States, according to a Thursday evening update from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
No deaths have been identified.
Doctors in Britain, Spain, Portugal, Canada, the U.S. and elsewhere have noted that the majority of infections to date have been in gay and bisexual men, or men who have sex with men. The disease is no more likely to affect people because of their sexual orientation and scientists warn the virus could infect others if transmission isn’t curbed. | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Officials-confirm-monkeypox-infection-in-King-17203849.php | 2022-05-27T20:26:28Z | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Officials-confirm-monkeypox-infection-in-King-17203849.php | false | 11 |
College basketball rankings: Texas jumps up after landing Iowa State PG Tyrese Hunter from transfer portal The Longhorns moved up in the CBS Sports never-too-early preseason Top 25 And 1 rankings By Gary Parrish May 27, 2022 at 2:56 pm ET • 1 min read USATSI Texas was among the biggest winners — if not the biggest winner — last offseason when it came to roster-building via the transfer portal. So it should be no surprise that Chris Beard and his staff are doing it again. On Friday, the Longhorns secured a commitment from Iowa State transfer Tyrese Hunter, who is the reigning Big 12 Freshman of the Year after averaging 11.0 points and 4.9 assists for the Cyclones.The addition of Hunter moved Texas up from No. 16 to No. 12 in Version 11.0 of the 2022-23 CBS Sports Preseason Top 25 And 1. That places the Longhorns third amongst Big 12 teams — behind only No. 7 Baylor and No. 8 Kansas, the latter of which received a commitment from Texas Tech transfer Kevin McCullar earlier this month. In other words, there's significant intra-conference movement going on in the Big 12. That should make for some interesting league games when players like Hunter and McCullar have to return to the places they previously called home.Elsewhere in the Big 12, TCU's Damion Baugh, the Horned Frogs' second-leading scorer and leading assist man last season, is now reportedly expected to remain in the 2022 NBA Draft and pursue professional opportunities even if he's not selected. That's why Jamie Dixon's team has dropped from 14th to 18th in the Top 25 And 1.Prospects and transfers announcing their future plans will continue to impact the Top 25 And 1 in the coming days, weeks and months — but it's difficult, at this point, to envision anybody supplanting North Carolina at No. 1. The Tar Heels are returning four starters from a team that lost to Kansas in the championship game of the 2022 NCAA Tournament. To that core, UNC is adding a top-15 recruiting class highlighted by top-40 prospects Seth Trimble and Jalen Washington. So it's not crazy to think Hubert Davis could start his head-coaching career with back-to-back trips to the Final Four. Itching for more college hoops analysis?

That's three double-digit scorers Kelvin Sampson should have to pair with Jarace Walker, a 5-star freshman who is among the reasons Houston will once again be the favorite in the AAC. -- 32-6 3 Arkansas The Razorbacks' ranking is based on Arkansas returning three of the top five scorers from a team that advanced to the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament for the second straight year - among them Jaylin Williams and Davonte Davis. Eric Musselman will add three 5-star prospects to that core and have a group good enough to get Arkansas back to the Final Four for the first time since 1995. -- 28-9 4 Kentucky The Wildcats' ranking is based on CBS Sports National Player of the Year Oscar Tshiebwe returning (alongside fellow starter Sahvir Wheeler) and being joined by a recruiting class highlighted by five-star guard Cason Wallace. Keion Brooks entering the transfer portal wasn't ideal but will simply create a bigger opportunity for Jacob Toppin, who had better shooting percentages than Brooks from the field and 3-point line last season. -- 26-8 5 Gonzaga The Bulldogs' ranking is based on Gonzaga returning five of the top eight scorers from a team that finished first at KenPom - among them All-American Drew Timme. That would provide Mark Few with a strong veteran core that will be supported by transfers like former 5-star prospect Efton Reid. -- 28-4 6 UCLA The Bruins' ranking is based on Jaime Jaquez, Jules Bernard and Tyger Campbell providing Mick Cronin with a veteran core to pair with a top-10 recruiting class highlighted by five-star prospects Amari Bailey and Adem Bona. If things break that way, UCLA should have a real chance to make the Final Four for the second time in three years. -- 27-8 7 Baylor The Bears' ranking is based on LJ Cryer, Adam Flagler and Flo Thamba returning from a team that shared the Big 12 title with Kansas. The addition of 5-star guard Keyonte George should give Baylor one of the sport's best backcourts. -- 27-7 8 Kansas The Jayhawks' ranking is based on Kansas returning a core of Jalen Wilson, Dajuan Harris and Joseph Yusefu from the team that won the national championship. A top-five recruiting class highlighted by 5-star prospects Gradey Dick, MJ Rice and Ernest Udeh - plus Texas Tech transfer Kevin McCullar - should have Bill Self's program competing for yet another Big 12 title. -- 34-6 9 Duke The Blue Devils' ranking is based on Duke losing five players early to the NBA Draft - namely Paolo Banchero, AJ Griffin, Mark Williams, Wendell Moore and Trevor Keels. But first-year coach Jon Scheyer has set himself up for success by securing the nation's top-ranked recruiting class, one that includes 5-star prospects Dereck Lively, Kyle Filiiipowski, Dariq Whitehead and Mark Mitchell. -- 32-7 10 Tennessee The Volunteers' ranking is based on Tennessee returning four of its top five scorers - among them Santiago Vescovi and Josiah-Jordan James. Tennessee will miss one-and-done point guard Kennedy Chandler but should still be a factor near the top of the SEC thanks in part to the addition of five-star forward Julian Phillips. -- 27-8 11 Creighton The Bluejays' ranking is based on Creighton returning five of the top seven scorers from a team that advanced to the Round of 32 of the NCAA Tournament. The addition of South Dakota State transfer Baylor Scheierman, the reigning Summit League Player of the Year, makes Greg McDermott's team the clear favorite in the Big East. -- 23-12 12 Texas The Longhorns' ranking is based on Texas returning the top two scorers from a team that finished 15th at KenPom - namely Timmy Allen and Marcus Carr, each of whom is using a fifth year of eligibility. Chris Beard is adding to that core a top-15 recruiting class highlighted by two five-star prospects (Dillon Mitchell and Arterio Morris) and Iowa State transfer Tyrese Hunter. 4 22-12 13 Michigan The Wolverines' ranking is based on a returning core of Hunter Dickinson and Moussa Diabate being joined by an incoming class highlighted by Princeton transfer Jaelin Llewellyn and top-40 prospect Jett Howard, the latter of whom was named MVP at the Iverson Classic. Michigan looks like the favorite in the Big Ten. 1 19-15 14 Auburn The Tigers' ranking is based on Auburn returning four of the top six scorers - among them K.D. Johnson, Wendell Green and Allen Flanigan - from a team that earned a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament. That core will be joined by a nice incoming class highlighted by Morehead State transfer Johni Broome and five-star center Yohan Traore. 1 28-6 15 Arizona The Wildcats' ranking is based on Arizona returning every relevant player from its Pac-12 championship team except for Bennedict Mathurin, Christian Koloko and Justin Kier. A core of Azuolas Tubelis, Kerr Kriisa and Dalen Terry should keep Tommy Lloyd's program a part of the national conversation. -- 33-4 16 Villanova The Wildcats' ranking is based on Villanova returning six of the top nine scorers from its Final Four team - among them Brandon Slater and Caleb Daniels. Jay Wright left Kyle Neptune with a nice core that should allow the new Villanova coach to keep the Wildcats in the national conversation. 1 30-8 17 Indiana The Hoosiers' ranking is based on Indiana returning the top three scorers from a team that made the NCAA Tournament - among them Trayce Jackson-Davis, who could be a candidate for Big Ten Player of the Year. Indiana's recruiting class is ranked fifth nationally and highlighted by 5-star prospects Jalen Hood-Schifino and Malik Reneau. 1 21-14 18 TCU The Horned Frogs' ranking is based on TCU returning five of the top six scorers - everybody except Damion Baugh, who is now expected to remain in the NBA Draft - from a team that played in the Round of 32 of the NCAA Tournament. That experienced core should have Jamie Dixon's team competing for what could be TCU's first Big 12 title. 4 21-13 19 Texas A&M The Aggies' ranking is based on Texas A&M returning every relevant player -- besides Quenton Jackson -- who helped the Aggies make the championship game of the NIT. Buzz Williams made the NCAA Tournament in Year 4 at both Marquette and Virginia Tech and should do the same at Texas A&M. -- 27-13 20 Colo. St. The Rams' ranking is based on Colorado State's top three scorers returning - among them Mountain West Conference Play of the Year David Roddy, who has declared for the NBA Draft but could return to school considering there's no guarantee he'd be selected. With Roddy back, the Rams would be projected to make the NCAA Tournament for the second straight year. -- 25-6 21 Alabama The Crimson Tide's ranking is based on Alabama returning four of its top eight scorers from an NCAA Tournament team - among them Noah Gurley and Charles Bediako. Nate Oats should combine that core with a top-five recruiting class featuring two 5-star prospects and Ohio transfer Mark Sears. -- 19-14 22 Purdue The Boilermakers' ranking is based on Purdue returning three of the top seven scorers from a team that made the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament - among them All-American candidate Zach Edey. Admittedly, that's not a lot -- but Matt Painter deserves the benefit of the doubt based on the consistency with which he runs his program. -- 29-8 23 Dayton The Flyers' ranking is based on Dayton returning the top five scorers from a team that just missed the NCAA Tournament - among them double-digit scorers Daron Holmes and Toumani Camara. If Anthony Grant can keep his talented freshmen out of the transfer portal, the Flyers' future is bright in the Atlantic 10. -- 24-11 24 Ohio St. The Buckeyes' ranking is based on Zed Key and Justice Sueing returning and being joined by a top-five recruiting class featuring four top-65 prospects. Transfers Sean McNeil (West Virginia), Isaac Likekele (Oklahoma State) and Tanner Holden (Wright State) will provide Chris Holtmann with a nice trio of veteran newcomers. -- 20-12 25 Michigan St. The Spartans' ranking is based on Michigan State returning five of the top nine scorers from a team that advanced to the Round of 32 of the NCAA Tournament. Max Christie's decision to remain in the NBA Draft is a blow - but Tom Izzo should still coach in his 25th straight NCAA Tournament next March. -- 23-13 26 Saint Louis The Billikens' ranking is based on Saint Louis returning four starters - among them backcourt mates Yuri Collins and Gibson Jimerson - and adding transfer Javon Pickett, who averaged 11.1 points at Missouri last season. SLU is also getting back Javonte Perkins, who led the team in scoring two seasons ago before missing last season with a torn ACL. -- 23-12 | https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/college-basketball-rankings-texas-jumps-up-after-landing-iowa-state-pg-tyrese-hunter-from-transfer-portal/ | 2022-05-27T20:27:05Z | https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/college-basketball-rankings-texas-jumps-up-after-landing-iowa-state-pg-tyrese-hunter-from-transfer-portal/ | true | 4 |
Australia's Jai Hindley goes into the final weekend of the Giro d'Italia just three seconds behind leader Richard Carapaz.
The Ecuadorian held on to the pink jersey as Dutchman Koen Bouwman won stage 19 of the Giro, a mountainous 178km ride from Marano Lagunare to Santuario di Castelmonte, in bizarre fashion on Friday.
Carapaz, three seconds clear of the second-placed West Australian in the general classification going into the stage, was joined by three Ineos Grenadiers teammates in a packed peloton right up until the final few kilometres.

Spaniard Mikel Landa - third in the general classification before a stage that passed through parts of Slovenia and needing to close the gap - made the first move.
The top three riders were left alone as the leaders' group approached the stage end.
Carapaz led Hindley and Landa ahead of the final sprint, with the Colombian coming home in front of his rivals at the crucial moment.
He keeps the "maglia rosa", with only one more mountainous stage to come before Sunday's time trial finale.
There had already been plenty of drama further ahead of the overall leaders. With five riders vying to win the stage, three overshot the final corner, allowing Bouwman to come through for his second stage victory of this year's Giro.
"I knew there was a corner to the left but I didn't know it was this sharp," Bouwman said. "I had to brake quite hard and I knew I had to take the inside (of the corner).
"Now to win two stages in the Giro - I'm just so happy I don't have words."
There was some bad news for Carapaz on Friday, however, as teammate Richie Porte dropped out of the Giro through illness, leaving the race leader missing a key domestique for the final two stages this weekend.
"Truth is, it's been a really difficult day," Carapaz said. "I'm really disappointed about Richie, it's unlucky."
All could be decided on the penultimate leg on Saturday. The 20th stage has been given the maximum difficulty rating of five stars and features three gruelling climbs in a 167km ride from Belluno to Marmolada.

Caymus Vineyards, a longtime supporter of the motorsports community, will now expand its involvement into the NTT INDYCAR SERIES by joining driver Felix Rosenqvist for the 106th Running of the Indianapolis 500.
In just his fourth year of INDYCAR Series competition, Rosenqvist has a win and two pole positions to his credit. Making his fourth Indianapolis 500 start this weekend, the Swedish driver will begin the historic race from the eighth position, in the middle of row three. Rosenqvist and his No. 7 Vuse Arrow McLaren SP Chevrolet made the Top 12 in qualifying and turned in a blistering speed of 232.182-mph in a field that featured the fastest pole speed in Indianapolis 500 history.
The Wagner family – who founded Caymus Vineyards – has clocked nearly a decade of sponsorship in the NASCAR Cup Series, where they currently partner with driver, Ty Dillon, and Petty GMS. They are excited to now have one of Napa Valley’s most celebrated wines, Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon, riding along with Felix Rosenqvist as he chases the Borg-Warner Trophy in Sunday’s Indianapolis 500.
“We’ve been a longtime supporter of auto racing, so the partnership with Felix Rosenqvist in the Indianapolis 500 is an opportunity for us to broaden our involvement and connect with the IndyCar fanbase on the world’s biggest stage,” said Karen Perry, Executive Vice President of Caymus Vineyards. “Race fans have been enthusiastic fans of our wines as well, and we are grateful for their support. Now we are thrilled to join them in the inspiring world of motorsports through our various partnerships across multiple disciplines of auto racing.”
“I am excited to have Caymus Vineyards joining me for this year’s Indianapolis 500,” said Rosenqvist. “It is an elite brand and the Wagner family's commitment to quality matches my passion for racing and my drive to achieve success. I appreciate their support and I look forward to opening up a bottle of Caymus Cabernet and toasting to the weekend ahead.”
The Wagners have a history in Napa Valley dating back to the 1850’s. Through the years, they have embraced a hands-on work ethic and are constantly trying out new ideas in pursuit of making exceptional wines. Whether it’s venturing to different regions to find diverse sources of top-quality grapes or experimenting with new farming techniques, the result is a pairing of tradition with innovation, a respect for the old with the promise of the new.
Chuck Wagner and his late parents, Lorna and Charlie, started Caymus Vineyards in 1972. They were a family of farmers who worked together for decades to create a signature style of Cabernet Sauvignon. Today, the family’s two Cabernets – Caymus Napa Valley and Caymus Special Selection – are among the region's most celebrated wines. Chuck now works alongside two of his children, Charlie and Jenny, and the family produces diverse wines from Napa Valley, other parts of California and beyond. Continually pursuing new ideas, they feel extremely fortunate to spend their days farming grapes and making wine. For more information, please visit wagnerfamilyofwine.com.

Non-alcoholic beverage processing will not only help reduce fruit wastage in the supply chain but also enable the doubling of farmers’ income, create jobs, and enhance investment in manufacturing, a report released on Friday said.
The report ‘Contribution of Non-Alcoholic Beverages Sector in Indian Economic Growth and #AtmanirbharBharat’ was released by Sudhanshu Pandey, secretary, Department of Food and Public Distribution (DFPD), at an event organised by the Indian Beverage Association.
The objective of the report is to understand the contribution of the non-alcoholic beverages sector towards the Indian economy, examine the strengths and best practices, identify challenges and suggest a way forward to make India one of the world’s leading beverage processing hub as the country sets its vision for Amrit Kaal, i.e., for India @2047.
The report pointed out India’s position on both supply and demand side. On the supply side, India is the largest global producer of several raw materials such as banana, mango, lime, lemon, papaya, milk and sugar used in manufacturing non-alcoholic beverages while on the demand side, with a large middle-class and young consumers who are willing to experiment with different products, India is an attractive investment destination for beverage companies, it said.
Around 62 per cent of farmers received high yielding plant material from the companies but still mentioned that the other key areas of support that they needed included technology and equipment for drip irrigation farmers identified the need for government support in three areas — financial assistance, training and knowledge enhancement and logistics and transportation.
“Private partnership can play a major role in training, increasing productivity and improving infrastructure,” the report said.
The report also highlighted that by product categories, in 2020, in fruit and vegetable juices, India ranked 59th among global exporters while Brazil ranked first; in natural or artificial mineral waters and aerated waters (HS code 2201), India ranked 65th while France is the topmost exporter followed by China.
“Thus, in spite of being the topmost producer of many raw materials, India is a small player in global trade,” it added.

Assembly Speaker Robin Vos has a big decision to make in the next two weeks after his appointee to the Wisconsin Elections Commission resigned for not pretending the 2020 election was rigged. Vos' pick will likely be the next chair of the commission, unless Democrats find the person more objectionable than an actual fake Trump elector. Sen. Kathy Bernier, a former election clerk and one of the first Wisconsin Republicans to acknowledge the truth that the 2020 election was legit, has thrown her hat in the ring.

The Integra is something of a comeback for the Acura compact, a tacit admission that its predecessor, the ILX, wasn't the most exciting possible entry point for the brand. The new Integra is supposed to be sportier, more engaging, and more interesting. So it's bizarre to see Acura dropped the ILX's dual-clutch transmission (DCT) and instead offers a continuously-variable transmission (CVT) for customers who don't want to shift themselves.
CVTs have a bad reputation in the enthusiast community for sapping the fun out of any powertrain they're mated to. Because they use variable-ratio gearing, they can adjust gearing to keep the engine in its powerband, maximizing efficiency but creating a monotone groan by keeping revs steady. Honda's newest CVTs can emulate seven-speed automatics that are shiftable via steering paddles to reduce this behavior, but it's still a less crisp and engaging experience than a good DCT. Jonathon Rivers, the lead product planner for the Integra, told us that the DCT was always something of a concession prize.
"In the case of ILX, it actually started with a manual transmission. Keep that in mind," Rivers told Road & Track. "So it had a manual and it had a regular [torque-converter] automatic when it launched. When they did the first refresh of ILX, they, unfortunately, got rid of the manual transmission and to keep that sportiness, they put the DCT out there."
Enthusiast buyers still clamored for a manual, though, meaning the DCT never quite solved Acura's problem. The company knew that the strategy had to change.
"In our case, that particular transmission in our lineup actually went out of production. So there's that side story," Rivers said. "But the reality is, we looked at the customer, we knew that fuel economy was going to be a top priority. We know that with the transmission tuning that we could do we could still get it to be very sporty and compliant. And, having the six-speed manual as the true enthusiast option, we knew we were covering both bases." | https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a40107522/why-acura-chose-a-cvt-over-its-dct-in-the-integra/ | 2022-05-27T20:45:42Z | https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a40107522/why-acura-chose-a-cvt-over-its-dct-in-the-integra/ | true | 1 |

The United States on Friday imposed sanctions on two Russian banks, a North Korean company and a person it accused of supporting North Korea's weapons of mass destruction program, increasing pressure on Pyongyang over its renewed ballistic missile launches.
The latest American move came a day after China and Russia vetoed a U.S.-led push to impose more United Nations sanctions on North Korea over its ballistic missile launches, publicly splitting the U.N. Security Council for the first time since it started punishing Pyongyang in 2006.
The vetoes came despite what the United States says was a sixth test of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) by North Korea this year and signs that Pyongyang is preparing to conduct its first nuclear test since 2017.
The U.S. Treasury Department in a statement said it targeted Air Koryo Trading Corp as well as Russian financial institutions the Far Eastern Bank and Bank Sputnik for contributing to procurement and revenue generation for North Korean organizations.
Washington also designated Jong Yong Nam, a Belarus-based representative of an organization subordinate to the North Korea Second Academy of Natural Sciences (SANS), who Washington said has supported North Korean organizations linked to the development of ballistic missiles.
North Korea's mission to the United Nations in New York did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
"The United States will continue to implement and enforce existing sanctions while urging the DPRK (North Korea) to return to a diplomatic path and abandon its pursuit of weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles," the Treasury's Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, Brian Nelson, said in the statement.
China has been urging the United States to take action – including lifting some unilateral sanctions – to entice Pyongyang to resume talks stalled since 2019, after three failed summits between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and then-U.S. President Donald Trump. The United States has said Pyongyang should not be rewarded. | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/world/u-s-issues-sanctions-targeting-north-korean-weapons-of-mass-destruction-program-8595321.html | 2022-05-27T20:55:22Z | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/world/u-s-issues-sanctions-targeting-north-korean-weapons-of-mass-destruction-program-8595321.html | true | 12 |
Jeff Bridges’ battle with COVID-19 while going through chemotherapy for lymphoma left him “pretty close to dying,” the actor has revealed.
“The Big Lebowski” actor, 72, opened up in an interview with People published Thursday about the health difficulties he faced in the last year and a half. After being diagnosed with COVID in January 2021 — before vaccines were readily available to the general public — Bridges spent five months in the hospital with an already-weakened immune system, severe pain and, often, a need for supplemental oxygen.
“I was pretty close to dying. The doctors kept telling me, ‘Jeff, you’ve got to fight. You’re not fighting.’ I was in surrender mode,” he recalled. “I was ready to go. I was dancing with my mortality.”
Bridges added: “I had no defenses. That’s what chemo does — it strips you of all your immune system. I had nothing to fight it. COVID made my cancer look like nothing.”
The actor’s medical team found luck with convalescent plasma, a treatment with plasma from donors who have recovered from COVID-19, containing the virus’ antibodies. Bridges slowly began regaining strength and hope, he said.
Bridges first revealed his cancer diagnosis in October 2020, sharing on Twitter that he had been diagnosed with lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system.
“As the Dude would say.. New (expletive) has come to light,” wrote Bridges, referencing his 1998 cult classic “The Big Lebowski.” “Although it is a serious disease, I feel fortunate that I have a great team of doctors and the prognosis is good.”
Last September, Bridges announced his cancer was in remission, writing in a blog post on his website that his “9” x 12” mass shrunk down to the size of a marble.”
However, “Covid kicked my (expletive) pretty good,” he wrote. Directing readers to another post, the 71-year-old actor shares he was exposed to the virus in January at the place where he received his chemotherapy infusions.
“My dance with Covid makes my cancer look like a piece of cake,” he said.
Now, Bridges said he’s thrilled to be back at work, filming the upcoming drama “The Old Man.”
“Who would say, ‘I’d love some cancer and give me a dose of COVID? But my ability to receive all the love and give it was just heightened,” he said. “Everything was turned up in the most beautiful way.”

“This purchase is personal for me,” buyer Jacqueline Nuñez, owner of WonderGroup LLC, told The Boston Globe. “It’s not a real estate development. It’s around my own beliefs.”
Nuñez and the couple who sold the home, Cory and Jennifer Heinzen, jointly announced the sale on Facebook.
Nuñez plans to continue the paranormal business the Heinzens started. Guests will be able to continue the nightly paranormal investigations, day tours will resume and there will be livestreamed events. The Heinzens, who bought the home in 2019, will remain involved.
The movie wasn’t filmed at the home but was based on the experiences of a family that lived there in the 1970s.
Nuñez said she is not afraid of the house.
“I don’t believe the energy here is malevolent. Things will happen here that will startle me, but not harm me,” she said. “I look forward to experiencing things.” | https://www.kelownadailycourier.ca/entertainment/national_entertainment/article_54a1e6d6-ccd2-5bb2-ab84-378bb0c9b9cb.html | 2022-05-27T20:59:49Z | https://www.kelownadailycourier.ca/entertainment/national_entertainment/article_54a1e6d6-ccd2-5bb2-ab84-378bb0c9b9cb.html | true | 33 |

With tragic events like mass shootings, how do journalists balance the need to hold those in power accountable and to tell the stories of those directly impacted, while respecting space for grief?

The suspects in the shootings at a Uvalde, Texas, elementary school and a Buffalo, New York, supermarket were both just 18, authorities say, when they bought the weapons used in the attacks — too young to legally purchase alcohol or cigarettes, but old enough to arm themselves with assault weapons.
The Buffalo suspect was taken to a hospital last year for a mental health evaluation, but the incident didn't trigger New York's “red flag” law and he was still able to purchase a gun. The Texas suspect’s mother told ABC he gave her an “uneasy feeling" at times and could “be aggressive ... If he really got mad." But authorities say he had no known criminal or mental health history. The state has no such red flag law.
They are just the latest suspected U.S. mass shooters whose ability to obtain guns has raised concerns. In some cases shooters got guns legally under current firearms laws, or because of background check lapses or law enforcement’s failure to heed warnings of concerning behavior.
After the shootings, which together left 31 people dead, President Joe Biden renewed calls for stronger gun laws and questioned whether people as young as 18 should be allowed to purchase firearms. In the past, Biden has called for banning assault weapons and expanding background checks. Many Republicans oppose the measures.
A look at how suspects in mass shootings over a decade obtained guns, based on police accounts, court documents and contemporaneous reporting:
UVALDE, TEXAS: MAY 24, 2022. 21 DEAD.
Salvador Ramos legally purchased two guns in the days before the attack that killed 19 students and two teachers at Robb Elementary School — an AR-style rifle from a federally licensed gun dealer in the Uvalde area on May 17 and a second rifle on May 20. Ramos made the purchases just days after turning 18, the minimum age under federal law for buying a rifle. He also purchased several hundred rounds of ammunition. At least one of the rifles was a DDM4, made by Daniel Defense and modeled after the U.S. military’s M4 carbine rifle, though without the M4′s ability to switch to fully automatic or fire a three-round burst. “The idea that an 18-year-old kid can walk into a gun store and buy two assault weapons is just wrong,” Biden said hours after the shooting Tuesday. “What in God’s name do you need an assault weapon for except to kill someone?” Ramos was killed at the school by a Border Patrol team.

BUFFALO, NEW YORK: MAY 14, 2022. 10 DEAD.
Payton Gendron legally purchased the Bushmaster XM-15 E2S used in the attack on Tops Friendly Market from a federally licensed gun dealer near his home in Conklin, New York, about 200 miles (320 kilometers) southeast of Buffalo. In a personal, online diary that surfaced after the attack, Gendron said he bought the AR-15-style weapon in January, bought a shotgun in December and received a rifle as a Christmas present from his dad when he was 16. Last year, Gendron was taken to a hospital for a psychiatric evaluation under a state mental health law after writing “murder-suicide” in response to a teacher’s question. New York is one of 19 states with red flag laws that allow courts to take guns from people posing immediate danger, but that didn’t happen with Gendron, who was 17 at the time. State police described his threat as “general in nature” and said it didn’t “specifically mention shooting or firearms.” After the shooting, Gov. Kathy Hochul signed an executive order underscoring the need for red flag interventions and said she would seek to bar people under 21 from buying some semi-automatic weapons in the state. A similar law in California was ruled unconstitutional. Gendron is charged with murder.
___
SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA: MAY 26, 2021. 9 DEAD.
Samuel James Cassidy legally purchased the three 9 mm handguns he used to kill co-workers and then himself at a Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority rail yard. He also stockpiled a dozen guns and 25,000 rounds of ammunition at his home, which he set ablaze before the shooting, and had high-capacity magazines that may have been illegal under California law, depending on when they were purchased. Santa Clara’s district attorney said authorities would’ve sought to take Cassidy’s weapons away under the state’s red flag law had U.S. Customs and Border Protection informed them of a “Significant Encounter” with Cassidy upon his return to California from a trip to the Philippines in 2016. Customs agents said in a report that Cassidy harbored “dark thoughts about harming” two specific people and had a memo book in which he expressed his hatred of the transit agency.
___
BOULDER, COLORADO: MARCH 22, 2021. 10 DEAD.
Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa bought a Ruger AR-556 pistol, a semi-automatic weapon with a capacity of up to 30 rounds, six days before the shooting at King Soopers grocery store, police said. Alissa was prone to sudden rage and was convicted of misdemeanor assault and sentenced to probation for attacking a high school classmate. Colorado has a universal background check law covering almost all gun sales, but that misdemeanor would not have prevented him from buying a weapon, experts said. Had it been a felony, federal law would’ve barred his purchase. Days before the shooting, a judge struck down city ordinances banning assault rifles and high-capacity magazines in Boulder, citing a state law prohibiting local gun bans. The NRA backed the lawsuit challenging the ordinances. A judge ruled last month that Alissa is mentally incompetent to stand trial.
___
ATLANTA: MARCH 16, 2021. 8 DEAD.
Robert Aaron Long purchased a 9 mm handgun just hours before going on a shooting rampage at three massage businesses in the Atlanta area, police said. A lawyer for the gun shop said it complies with federal background check laws. Georgia, like the majority of states, has no waiting period to obtain a gun. Long claimed to have a "sex addiction," police said, and he spent time at an addiction recovery facility last year. Federal law bans guns for people who are "unlawful users of or addicted to a controlled substance" or who've been court-ordered to a mental health or substance abuse treatment facility, but doesn't mention treatment for other compulsions as a barrier to ownership. Long is serving a sentence life without parole.
___
MIDLAND, TEXAS, AUG. 31, 2019. 7 DEAD.
Seth Aaron Ator purchased an AR-style rifle through a private sale, allowing him to evade a federal background check, and fired it indiscriminately from his car into passing vehicles and shopping plazas. He also hijacked a mail truck, killing the driver. Ator had been blocked from getting a gun in 2014 after his background check was flagged because a court determined he was mentally ill, according to a law enforcement official familiar with the matter. Private sales, which account for up to 40% of all gun sales according to some estimates, are not subject to a federal background check and private sellers aren't required to determine if a buyer is eligible to own a gun. Ator was killed by police.
___
DAYTON, OHIO: AUG. 4, 2019. 9 DEAD.
Connor Betts' classmates said he was suspended in high school for compiling a "hit list" and a "rape list," but authorities said nothing in his background prevented him from purchasing the AR-15-style pistol used in the shooting at Ned Peppers Bar. Ohio law requires that sealed records of any juvenile crimes be expunged either after five years or once the offender turns 23. Betts, who was 24 at the time of the shooting, bought the gun online from a Texas dealer. It was then shipped to a Dayton-area firearms dealer, in accordance with federal law. Betts was killed by police.
___
EL PASO, TEXAS, AUG. 3, 2019. 23 DEAD.
Patrick Crusius bought an AK-47-style rifle and 1,000 rounds of hollow-point ammunition online 45 days before he walked into a Walmart store and opened fire, killing 23 people and injuring two dozen others, before confessing that he had been targeting Mexicans, according to prosecutors. A Crusius family lawyer said his mother raised concerns about the purchase in a call to police on June 27. Police said she asked if Crusius, who was 21 at the time, was old enough to buy a gun. Police said she was assured he was and that he'd qualify if he passed a background check. Police said she expressed concern only about his safety and said she'd seen no recent change in his behavior. Crusius posted a racist screed online just before the attack and appeared to target Mexicans. He's charged with capital murder in Texas and federal hate crimes and firearms offenses.
___
VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA: MAY 31, 2019. 12 DEAD.
Former Virginia Beach city employee DeWayne Craddock legally purchased six firearms in the three years before he opened fire on a municipal building, including the two .45-caliber pistols used in the attack. An independent review of the shooting, commissioned by the City of Virginia Beach, found that Craddock displayed no warning signs or "prohibited behaviors associated with a pathway to violence," and that he had no known history of mental health treatment. Craddock was killed by police. ___
THOUSAND OAKS, CALIFORNIA: NOV. 7, 2018. 12 DEAD.
Ian David Long, a former Marine machine gunner who served in Afghanistan, used a legally purchased .45-caliber pistol with an extended magazine in the shooting at the Borderline Bar & Grill. California tried to outlaw high-capacity magazines, but a federal judge reversed that after a pro-gun group sued. Months before the shooting, sheriff's deputies called to Long's home found him acting irrationally, but a mental health specialist didn't feel he needed to be involuntarily committed. California has a red flag law, but there's no indication authorities sought a court order to take away Long's guns. Long killed himself.
___
PITTSBURGH: OCT. 27, 2018. 11 DEAD.
Robert Gregory Bowers had a carry license and legally owned the Colt AR-15 SP1 and three Glock .357 handguns police said he used to kill worshipers at Tree of Life synagogue. Bowers spent months posting rants against Jews on Gab, a social media site favored by right-wing extremists. He also posted photos of his "glock family." Just before the attack, he posted a screed against a Jewish organization that resettles refugees, saying: "I can't sit by and watch my people get slaughtered. Screw your optics, I'm going in." None of the rhetoric appeared to raise red flags. His case is pending. ___
SANTA FE, TEXAS: MAY. 18, 2018. 10 DEAD.
Dimitrios Pagourtzis, a 17-year-old student, used a shotgun and a .38-caliber handgun that his father purchased legally and stored in a closet at their home, authorities said. It wasn't clear if his father knew he'd taken the guns. Prior to the attack, Pagourtzis posted a photo on social media of a T-shirt with the phrase "Born to Kill" and had writings indicating he planned to attack his high school. A judge sent him to a mental health facility after ruling he was incompetent to stand trial.
___
PARKLAND, FLORIDA: FEB. 14, 2018. 17 DEAD.
Nikolas Cruz legally purchased a Smith & Wesson M&P 15 rifle in February 2017 from a licensed dealer a few miles from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, authorities said. He'd been treated at a mental health clinic but hadn't been there in more than a year. Federal law prohibits gun purchases if a court declares a person a "mental defective" or commits that person to an institution, but not if the person seeks treatment voluntarily. Cruz was 19 at the time of the shooting. He pleaded guilty in October and is scheduled to be sentenced next month. ___
SUTHERLAND SPRINGS, TEXAS: NOV. 5, 2017. 25 DEAD.
Devin Patrick Kelley's history of domestic abuse barred him from buying guns. He was able to because information about his crimes was never entered into a federal database used for background checks. The Air Force failed to follow rules requiring that it inform the FBI about his conduct. Kelley purchased four guns, including an AR-15-style rifle found at First Baptist Church, from licensed Texas and Colorado dealers over a four-year span. Kelley killed himself. ___
LAS VEGAS: OCT. 1, 2017. 58 DEAD.
Stephen Paddock purchased 33 of the 49 weapons found in his hotel room and at his homes in the year before he opened fire on a country music festival. Paddock passed all background checks. His gradual accumulation of guns went undetected because federal law doesn't require licensed gun dealers to alert the government about rifle purchases. Paddock killed himself. ___
ORLANDO, FLORIDA: JUNE 12, 2016. 49 DEAD.
Omar Mateen purchased an AR-15-style rifle, a Sig Sauer MCX, and a handgun from a licensed dealer on separate days about a week before the Pulse nightclub attack. He passed a background check and had a security license that allowed him to be armed while on duty. The FBI investigated Mateen in 2013 and 2014 over co-workers' concerns that he'd spoken about ties to terrorist groups. Neither inquiry led to charges. Even if he'd been placed on a terrorism watch list, Congress in 2015 rejected attempts to prevent people on the list from purchasing guns. Mateen was killed by police.
___
SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA: DEC. 2, 2015. 14 DEAD.
Syed Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, used weapons the FBI said his neighbor, Enrique Marquez, legally purchased from a licensed dealer in 2011 and 2012. Marquez pleaded guilty to charges he conspired to provide support to terrorists and made false statements to acquire a firearm. He told investigators Farook asked him to buy the weapons because he would draw less attention. Farook and Malik were killed by police.
___
ROSEBURG, OREGON: OCT. 1, 2015. 10 DEAD.
Christopher Harper-Mercer and his family members legally purchased the handguns and rifle used in the Umpqua Community College shooting from a licensed dealer. Investigators found six guns at the college and eight at an apartment. Neighbors said Harper-Mercer and his mother went target shooting together. Harper-Mercer killed himself after he was wounded by police.
___
CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA: JUNE 17, 2015. 9 DEAD.
A drug arrest should've prevented Dylann Roof from purchasing the pistol he used at Emanuel AME Church, but a record-keeping error and background check delay enabled the transaction to go through. The FBI said a background check examiner never saw the arrest report because the wrong arresting agency was listed in state criminal history records. After three days, the gun dealer was legally permitted to complete the transaction. He was convicted and is on federal death row.
___
WASHINGTON: SEPT. 16, 2013. 12 DEAD.
Aaron Alexis, a former reservist turned civilian contractor, passed background checks and legally purchased the shotgun used in the Washington Navy Yard shooting despite recent mental health treatment and a history of violent outbursts. He previously fired a gun in anger twice but wasn't prosecuted in either case. Alexis was killed by police.
___
NEWTOWN, CONNECTICUT: DEC. 14, 2012. 26 DEAD.
Adam Lanza used his mother's weapons, including a .223-caliber semi-automatic rifle, in the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Lanza's mother, whom he fatally shot before going to the school, also purchased the ammunition. Lanza killed himself. ___
AURORA, COLORADO: JULY 20, 2012. 12 DEAD.
James Holmes was receiving psychiatric treatment when he passed required federal background checks and legally purchased the weapons he used in his movie theater assault. As in the Parkland and Navy Yard cases, treatment alone did not prevent him from buying guns. He was convicted and sentenced to 12 life terms and thousands of years in prison.

Author and filmmaker Jennifer Lin joins Here & Now‘s Scott Tong to discuss her book “Beethoven in Beijing,” about how musical worlds opened when the orchestra went to China at a time when western music was banned there.
Book excerpt: ‘Beethoven in Beijing’
By Jennifer Lin
Chapter 7
September 12: Red Carpet Welcome
In the late afternoon, the Pan Am charter approached the airport in Shanghai in heavy fog and rain. Nicholas Platt, the U.S. foreign service officer stationed in Beijing whose job was organizing tour details and escorting Ormandy in China, flew to Shanghai to meet the plane and relay news sure to upset Ormandy.
Daniel Webster: No one had a hint of what awaited them in China. Feicheng (Mandarin for Philadelphia) was coming. The plane came in low over tilled fields and rolled to a small terminal.
Eugene Ormandy: There was mystery all over the plane. Everybody came to me, and said, “What do you expect?” I said, “I don’t know.” At one point, one of my colleagues screamed “I see land!” China. The mainland. We were all excited.
Herb Light, violin: This was unknown territory to the pilot. And I’ll never forget, there was rather a low ceiling when we came into Shanghai, and they were going back and forth. And afterwards, the pilot told us when we finally got in safely, “Never been here before. Just wanted to make sure.”
Ormandy: We didn’t know what we were going to face until the door opened in Shanghai where we had to stop first. I was asked to be the first one to go off the plane and my wife to follow me. There was a red carpet out and on both sides of the carpet, there were a number of people. On the left side was the diplomatic corps; on the right, the musicians of the local symphony orchestra, all applauding us. They were just as warm and wonderful as could be. We only spent an hour and half at the airport until they filled gasoline into our plane.
Nicholas Platt: I had left for Shanghai to meet the orchestra’s plane and fly with them to Beijing. I had hoped to be able to get together with the Ministry of Culture officials handling the visit from the Chinese side. But I was held at arm’s length until twenty-five minutes before the orchestra landed. That was when Mr. Situ [Huacheng], the glum but competent concertmaster of the Central Philharmonic Society, entered the VIP lounge where I was waiting. He sat down and told me with deep apologies that certain revisions in the programs would be required. The biggest issue was performing Beethoven’s Sixth Symphony. It had been discussed throughout the negotiations leading up to Ormandy’s arrival. The Chinese desire to include it—and Ormandy’s negative attitude about it—were known, but left unresolved until now. I dreaded raising it with an exhausted eminence I had never met.
Sheila Platt: Because the rules kept being changed, Nick had to give Ormandy bad or complicated news every step of the way. And Ormandy arrived sort of with his lip stuck out about all the things he wasn’t going to do.
Platt: The leadership now wanted concerts that packaged Beethoven’s Sixth, an American composition, and the Yellow River Concerto. I told Situ I would do my best to work the changes, but feared the consequences of confronting Ormandy with major issues after more than 20 hours of grueling travel.
John Krell: The airport was almost deserted and had an eerie frontier atmosphere. Mao caps and buttons began to appear and my friend bought me a Chinese beer. Waitress refused our proffered token of two American coins even though my friend went through an elaborate charade to equate Lincoln and Washington to Chairman Mao.
Platt: We got on the plane for Beijing. The issue of Beethoven’s Sixth was crucial to the success of the visit. Confronting difficult topics is what diplomats are paid for. So I sat down next to Ormandy and plunged in. I told him, “Maestro, we have a request from the top levels of government to play Beethoven’s Sixth Symphony.” And he looked at me and he said, “You know I hate Beethoven’s Sixth. I didn’t bring the scores. I don’t want to play it.”
Light: Ormandy being Ormandy, nobody told him what to play, and he was furious.
Platt: I said, “Let me try to explain to you why they think Beethoven’s Sixth is so important.” And I just started making things up.
Light: Ormandy did not hate the Sixth. But I think Ormandy felt that the Sixth Symphony was not showing off the orchestra to his liking. That’s the only reason he rebelled against it.
Platt: I told him, first of all, the Chinese loved program music, music that represents scenes. Second of all, this is a government that came to power on the backs of a peasant revolution and pastoral symphonies are all about peasants and farming life. And in the fourth movement, a big storm comes up and, of course, they think that’s the revolution. Then, there is a very peaceful, quiet ending, which they regard as the triumph of the Communist Party. Ormandy looks at me and he rolls his eyes
Light: I think he was convinced by Nick Platt that Chinese-American relations were at stake here unless he decided to give in.
Platt: Ormandy sighed and said, “If that’s what they want, that’s what they shall have. I am in Rome and will do as the Romans. I will forget my own rules.” I almost collapsed with relief. I told Sokoloff about our conversation and advised him to keep Ormandy’s willingness to play the Sixth in his back pocket during the protracted negotiations that were bound to follow.

Move over, Jackson Pollock: Australia’s ‘black poles’ take their rightful place at NGA
By Helen Pitt
Jackson Pollock’s Blue Poles may be considered the National Gallery of Australia’s most commercially valuable painting, but the 200 poles of the Aboriginal Memorial are now considered its most culturally important.
“We have our Blue Poles, but we now consider our ‘black poles’ our most significant work in terms of what they mean to Australians,” said Wierdi man Bruce Johnson McLean, the NGA’s assistant director, Indigenous engagement.
As of next Wednesday, the painted hollow log coffins will be moved from their current location near the entrance foyer to the most central gallery on level one, the heart of the NGA.
The cultural significance of the move is an important moment not just for its Yolngu creators during Reconciliation Week, but also the nation as it moves towards accepting the Uluru Statement from the Heart, under the new Labor government.
It also fulfils the original mission of the installation when it was opened during the 1988 bicentennial celebrations, by then NGA director James Mollison. The director, who in the early ’70s convinced then prime minister Gough Whitlam to purchase the Pollock painting, was also convinced this Indigenous work was “one of the most important works of art created in this country”.
It is world-famous now too, having played a crucial role in securing Sydney’s 2000 Olympics Games, travelling to The Hermitage in St Petersburg where each pole was carried in carefully by Russian soldiers, and the Olympic Museum in Lausanne.
Now its display will be aligned with the original intent of the 43 Indigenous artists who created it, only five of whom still survive, as well as that of the conceptual curator Djon Mundine, a Bundjalung man from the Northern Rivers of NSW, who worked closely in the 1970s with the remote Ramingining community in the Northern Territory. The log coffins are situated broadly according to where the artists’ clans live along the Glyde River and its tributaries he explained.
He first presented his idea to create “a forest of totem poles, that were bone coffins in ceremonial practice,” to the 1986 Sydney Biennale curator, Nick Waterlow.
“He liked the idea of presenting a mourning ceremony that Yolngu do in Arnhem Land, but also the idea of a local ritual that could be applied in a sort of national context. Nick immediately understood the importance and impact of the project,” recalls Mundine of the late curator.
The plan is for the gallery to work more closely with the Ramingining community, with Mundine and Johnson McLean visiting Arnhem Land recently to see the original artists and their families, who are understandably proud of their famous work.
Mundine was insistent the work be called a memorial not “another bloody monument”.
“Australia has thousands of monuments in country towns, sandstone obelisks in memory of Anzac soldiers, but nearly all of these are about wars fought overseas. This is a memorial to all Indigenous people who died defending their country since 1788,” he said.
“A lot of Indigenous artists wanted to boycott the bicentennial celebrations, but now as [historian] Henry Reynolds said, this work is the only lasting thing from 1988.”

The tragic shootings in Buffalo and Texas have again raised the voices of many who want Congress to pass gun violence reform. Bipartisan talks around ‘red flag’ legislation – allowing authorities to temporarily take guns away from people considered to be a threat to themselves or others have picked up momentum. However, an upcoming Supreme Court opinion might loosen America’s gun laws even more, as noted by CNN.
Supreme Court Justices are currently writing their opinions and dissents in reference to New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, which deals with a 108-year-old concealed carry law in New York. The law requires a resident to obtain a license to carry a concealed pistol or revolver and demonstrate that “proper cause” exists for the permit – including showing they have a great need for the license and that they face a “special or unique danger to their life.”
Only a handful of states around the country have a law on the books similar to New York. Everything depends on how broad the conservative court rules are in the upcoming case. With oral arguments, Conservative Justice Samuel Alito framed the argument around” law-abiding people riding subways who want to be able to carry a gun to protect themselves.”
“How is that consistent with the core right to self-defense, which is protected by the Second Amendment?” he asked New York Solicitor General Barbara Underwood. Some experts note that a broad ruling could change the way gun laws are viewed as a whole.
“As a formal matter, the Supreme Court’s ruling on New York’s gun law doesn’t call into question gun laws restricting types of weapons or sensitive places where individuals can carry guns,” said Jacob Charles, executive director of the Center for Firearms Law at Duke University School of Law.
“But a broader ruling that changes the way courts evaluate gun laws could call into question a wider array of gun regulations like assault weapons bans and other restrictions like high-capacity magazine bans,” Charles added.
Critics of a potential ruling which could strike down New York’s gun safety law say it will lead to more tragedies—especially considering the accused Brooklyn subway shooter that happened earlier this month.
“If self-proclaimed originalists on the Supreme Court ignore the centuries of history supporting New York’s gun safety law and wrongly force states to allow more guns in public places, more people will be shot and killed and our right to public safety will be in even more danger,” Eric Tirschwell, executive director of Everytown Law, told CNN.
N.Y. Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-N.Y.) is seeking to ban people under 21 from buying AR-15 style rifles and will call a special session of local Congress if the Supreme Court rules to overturn the law.

TON Crystal Profile
According to CryptoCompare, “Tokamak Network is a platform designed to assure decentralized and secure property the same as Ethereum Main chain while supporting a high level of scalability and extendability. Each Dapp is built easily for a specific purpose through Tokamak Network. Tokamak Network has each Dapp to operate in its own chain. Layer 2 chains are connected to Ethereum’s Main Chain via the Tokamak Protocol. The Tokamak TON token is used as an incentive to correctly decentralize the Tokamak Layer 2 chain. The service operator must deposit TON to open the Layer 2 chain. If the chain runs properly, this deposit will gradually increase. However, if there is a technical issue in the chain and someone who finds problem raises an issue, and then, the deposit as a reward will go to that person (challenger). Moreover, TON is also used to charge Stamina, which is the transaction fee in Layer 2 chain. The stamina will be recharged after a certain period. It does not disappear until it is withdrawn. “

The cat and the balloon
As I cycled through the park, spotted this white cutie perching on the tree where the ducks had been the other day. S/he is a regular visitor to the park I believe. Watching for rats or some such. An abandoned birthday balloon floats in the water.

TIMELINE-Calls to 911 emergency number by Texas students during massacre
May 27 (Reuters) - At least two girls cowering in their classrooms at Robb Elementary School in Texas called the police emergency number 911 during the massacre, a law enforcement official said on Friday.
Gunman Salvador Ramos killed 19 students, mostly 9 and 10-year-olds, and two teachers in the attack.
The first call came from a little girl at the Uvalde, Texas, school who called multiple times on Tuesday. At 12:03 p.m., she identified herself and told authorities what room the shooter was in, said Steven McCraw, director of the Texas Department of Public Safety.
"I warn you it's not --" McCraw broke off before he recounted the calls. "It's better that I read it than you listen to it."
Here is a 911 emergency call timeline McCraw outlined at a news conference:
12:03 p.m. - The first call came from a little girl who said she was in Room 112. "She identified herself and whispered, 'He's in Room 112,'" McCraw said, without identifying the pupil.
12:10 p.m. - The same girl called back and advised there were multiple people dead.
12:13 p.m. - The girl called again.
12:16 p.m. - She called back and said there were eight to nine students alive.
12:19 p.m. - A 911 call was made from the phone of another child, in Room 111. She hung up when another student told her to hang up, McCraw said.
12:21 p.m. - Authorities hear on the 911 call that three shots were fired. (It was not clear which 911 call they were listening to at that time)
12:36 p.m. - A 911 call lasted for 21 seconds
Unspecified time - The initial caller called back and was told to stay on the line and be very quiet. She told 911 "that he shot the door."
12:43 p.m. and 12:47 p.m. - "She asked 911 to please send the police now," McCraw said.
12:46 p.m. - She said that she could hear the police next door.
12:50 p.m. - Shots could be heard on the 911 call, McCraw said.
12:51 p.m. - The 911 call is very loud and it sounds like officers are moving children out of the room. "At that time, the first child that called was outside before the caller cuts off," McCraw said.

'The kind of care veterans have earned': New VA clinic opens in Loveland
LOVELAND — Opening a new Veterans Affairs medical clinic on the same weekend the country remembers veterans who have died during military service was an emotional moment for former Army Staff Sgt. Tom Parker of Loveland.
Parker was part of the Honor Guard helping to open the new Northern Colorado Veterans Affairs Outpatient Clinic Friday at 4575 Byrd Drive in Loveland, near Northern Colorado Regional Airport.
"With the cost of health care and veterans who have been through so much ... to have the new VA clinic situated between Fort Collins and Loveland is fantastic," Parker said. "The VA has come a long way in providing health care."
The 76,645-square-foot, $17 million clinic is expected to serve about 19,000 veterans from Larimer and Weld counties who oftentimes had to travel to Cheyenne, Wyoming, for health care before the clinic's completion.
Memorial Day:Things to do to honor fallen veterans this weekend in Fort Collins, Windsor
The new facility is more than twice the size of the previous Fort Collins and Loveland clinics combined. It will offer primary care, mental health, radiology, dental, physical therapy, social work, laboratory, pharmacy, audiology, optometry and specialty services such as cardiopulmonary and podiatry as well as a new walk-in clinic.
"It will be a one-stop shop for veterans and for the first time there will be a walk-in clinic similar to an urgent care," said U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo. "It's the kind of care veterans have earned and deserve."
While nearly 40,000 veterans live in the two counties — about 21,000 in Larimer County and 16,500 in Weld — the Northern Colorado VA sees about half of the eligible veterans, a Veterans Affairs representative told the Coloradoan last year. For a variety of reasons, the rest seek health care outside of the VA system.
In anticipation of the new clinic, the Cheyenne VA moved most of its Fort Collins primary care patients to its Loveland clinic, 5200 Hahns Peak Drive, last year. The Fort Collins office is expected to close permanently now that the new clinic is open, but the Hahns Peak location will remain open.
The clinic started seeing some patients in early May as it moved some services from Loveland and Fort Collins.
But much of the facility is still awaiting exam tables, furniture and equipment. "We should have everything by September," said Dr. William Holland, associate chief of staff and chief medical officer in Northern Colorado.
In addition to Bennet, Friday's ceremony was attended by Sunaina Kumar-Giebel, deputy network director of VA Integrated Service Network 19, medical director Paul Roberts, staff from the Cheyenne clinic and developer Theo Bell, as well as about 200 veterans, families and local dignitaries.
The facility opened four months ahead of schedule and on budget even during COVID-19, said Roberts, who praised the development team for juggling a worldwide pandemic and new health center simultaneously.
You can't sit on the sidelines and wait for something to happen just because something else happened, he said.
Roberts thanked the veterans who "stayed strong with us" and thanked them for "not giving up on us. I sincerely hope when you come through the building that you think we did you proud, not because you deserve it but because you earned it," Roberts said.
The staff who work in the building will make it come alive, he said. "The veterans who come here for care will make it come alive."
Max deCamp, a Navy petty officer first class from 1960-1969 who served in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War, said the clinic would benefit all veterans who get their health care through the VA. "It's great to see it out here."
Bell, the developer, purchased the land for the facility from Windsor developer Martin Lind's Water Valley Companies and is leasing it to the VA.
“Anyone who knows our company understands where our heart is for veterans and servicemen and women," Lind said in a statement.

Mexican judge suspends bullfights in world's largest ring
Issued on: Modified:
Mexico City (AFP) – A Mexican judge on Friday ordered a suspension of bullfighting in Mexico City's Plaza de Toros, the world's largest bullring, after activists filed a lawsuit against the centuries-old practice.
Organizers "must immediately suspend bullfighting shows... as well as the granting of permits," the federal court ruled in response to a petition by the group Justicia Justa.
Another hearing is due to be held on Thursday to consider arguments and evidence from the two sides, ahead of the next scheduled event at the Plaza de Toros on July 2.
It is the first time that a court has ordered such a suspension, following years of legal action by civil organizations seeking a ban.
Mexico is a bastion of bullfighting but the tradition -- and the 50,000-capacity Plaza de Toros -- face an uncertain future.
In December, an animal welfare commission in Mexico City's legislature approved a proposal to prohibit the tradition in the capital.
Lawmakers have yet to vote on the plan, which dismayed supporters of bullfighting as well as the multimillion-dollar industry surrounding it.
So far, only a handful of Mexico's 32 states have banned the practice, which was brought by the Spanish conquistadors in the 16th century.
