Man Utd prepared to give up on Nunez transfer to avoid Liverpool bidding war
Manchester United are ready to surrender in their transfer pursuit of Benfica striker Darwin Nunez as they are increasingly wary of a bidding war with Liverpool, GOAL understands.
The Anfield club are in pole position to sign Nunez, and while Manchester United would love to have the 22-year-old at Old Trafford, they understand that the chase may be fruitless.
With an array of areas they wish to address this summer, this is a battle the Red Devils seem ready to bypass.
Editors' Picks
Nunez transfer latest
Liverpool are confident in landing the rising Uruguayan star as an attacking replacement for Sadio Mane, who appears on the brink of a transfer to Bayern Munich.
They've made Nunez their top priority and are prepared to pay a club-record fee of more than £75 million ($94m) to land him.
After sneaking ahead of Tottenham in January to snap up Luis Diaz, Liverpool are eager to beat any rival that stands in their way for Nunez.
The Benfica player scored 26 league goals and six European goals this term, enough to put him on Manchester United's radar.
Despite appearing set to turn their attention away from Nunez, striker is still a position the Red Devils would like to address in some capacity in the coming months, GOAL has been told.
Who will Man Utd turn to?
Unlike the Nunez situation, which Manchester United have swiftly soured on, they are preparing for a drawn-out pursuit of Barcelona's Frenkie de Jong this summer and haven't given up on taking him to Old Trafford.
Indeed, GOAL understands the club have now officially opened talks with Barcelona over De Jong, though they are posturing as unafraid to walk away because other options on the table.
Leeds' Kalvin Phillips and West Ham's Declan Rice are also seen as possible targets, though they could carry inflated transfer fees as England players.
In total, manager Erik ten Hag wants to make five signings in his first transfer window at the club. | https://www.goal.com/en-ie/news/man-utd-nunez-transfer-avoid-liverpool-bidding-war/blt898eeec684f72863 | 2022-06-10T20:28:36Z | https://www.goal.com/en-ie/news/man-utd-nunez-transfer-avoid-liverpool-bidding-war/blt898eeec684f72863 | false | 15 |
Jack Del Rio fined $100K for comments about Capitol riot
(AP) - Washington Commanders defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio has been fined $100,000 by the team for his comments about protests in the wake of the police killing of George Floyd and the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
Coach Ron Rivera announced the fine in a statement Friday after meeting with Del Rio earlier in the day. He said Del Rio’s statements were hurtful to members of the local community and did not reflect the views of the organization.
Asked Wednesday about a social media post he made earlier in the week, Del Rio downplayed the deadly insurrection and questioned why the protests in the summer of 2020 after Floyd’s death were not receiving the same scrutiny. Del Rio called the Jan. 6, 2021, riot “a dust-up at the Capitol,” which he later apologized for.
“He understands the distinction between the events of that dark day and peaceful protests, which are a hallmark of our democracy,” Rivera said in the statement, adding that Del Rio had a constitutional right to voice his opinion. “Words have consequences and his words hurt a lot of people in our community. I want to make it clear that our organization will not tolerate any equivalency between those who demanded justice in the wake of George Floyd’s murder and the actions of those on Jan. 6 who sought to topple our government.”
Rivera said he feels strongly after their conversation that Del Rio “will have a greater understanding for the impact of his language and the values that our team stands for.” He said the money will be donated to the United States Capitol Police Memorial Fund.
Del Rio, 59, is going into his third season running Washington’s defense on Rivera’s staff and in that time has shared his conservative political views on social media numerous times. A Twitter post Monday night prompted questions to Del Rio after an offseason workout, including whether he was concerned about how his thoughts might go over with players, the majority of whom are Black.
“If they are and they want to talk about it, I’d talk about it with anybody,” Del Rio said. “No problem. At any time. But they’re not. I’m just expressing myself and I think we all as Americans have a right to express ourselves, especially if you’re being respectful. I’m being respectful.”
While the Commanders players asked about Del Rio’s remarks declined comment or brushed off their significance in the locker room, multiple Virginia lawmakers expressed concern about the team’s latest in a long line of offseason issues. On Thursday, Virginia’s legislature abandoned a bill that would have given the NFL club tax incentives to build a stadium in the state.
Del Rio’s comments were prompted by preparations for this week’s hearings by a House committee on the Jan. 6 riot. Lawmakers have presented evidence that former president Donald Trump knew he had lost the 2020 election but clung to his claims of election fraud and summoned the violent mob.

At-home abortion pilll “startups” are popping up to “fill some of the void” for abortion access in the United States, CNN reported Wednesday.
Reportedly, websites like Choix, Hey Jane, and Just the Pill launched recently in response to states like Texas and Oklahoma passing laws to restrict access to abortion and protect unborn lives. The companies offer “limited number of states abortion prescriptions via telemedicine and delivered by mail.”
“Thanks to the easing of regulations at the federal level, these startups say their services can cut travel time, in-office wait periods and costs,” the report stated.
A medication abortion consists of two pills – mifepristone and misoprostol. The first pill stops the pregnancy from growing and the second expels the pregnancy from the mother.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the medication abortion pills in 2000. The pills were restricted from mail delivery until the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, CNN noted.
This regulatory change opened the door to companies that hope to cater to abortion-seekers who either reside in states that allow telehealth abortion care or who travel from their access-restricted home states. While there is no residency or state ID requirements for abortion care, Choix requires patients to have a shipping address within one of the states it serves. Hey Jane requires patients to be within the accessible state for both consult and treatment.
Kiki Freedman, CEO of Hey Jane, told CNN that the company has seen a nine-fold increase in “new telehealth patients” compared to the same time one year ago and has “nearly doubled the clinical team size since September when SB8 went into effect in Texas.”
In May, Townhall reported how abortion pill providers were preparing for a surge of patients following the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade.
Late last year, GOP South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem signed an executive order banning telemedicine abortions in the state. In an interview with Fox News, she doubled down on her stance.
“Everybody knows that I’m pro-life and do not support any kind of abortions,” Noem said in the interview. “But, here what the Biden administration is doing is trying to put forward abortion on demand. And we’re going to stop them and make sure that that’s [telemedicine abortion] not available in our state.” | https://townhall.com/tipsheet/madelineleesman/2022/06/10/at-home-abortion-pill-startups-are-reportedly-filling-the-void-for-abortion-acc-n2608437 | 2022-06-10T20:31:49Z | https://townhall.com/tipsheet/madelineleesman/2022/06/10/at-home-abortion-pill-startups-are-reportedly-filling-the-void-for-abortion-acc-n2608437 | false | 1 |

Czechs seize record amount of cocaine in banana shipment
PRAGUE (AP) — A record amount of cocaine was seized in a shipment for supermarkets in the Czech Republic, police said Friday.
They said 840 kilograms (1,852 pounds) of cocaine were discovered in cardboard boxes with bananas by employees in supermarkets in northern towns of Jicin and Rychnov nad Kneznou. Officers are now searching other stores in the country where banana boxes from the same shipment abroad were delivered.
Police said they were cooperating on the case with their counterparts from other unspecified countries.
Jakub Frydrych, the head of the police anti-narcotics unit, told the Czech public radio the cocaine likely originated in Central America.
The street value of the drug is estimated to be more than 2 billion Czech crowns ($86 million).
In a similar case in 2015, over 100 kilograms (220 pounds) of cocaine was discovered in a Prague supermarket. In 1999, police seized 117 kilograms (258 pounds) of cocaine in a warehouse north of Prague packed among dry fruit. | https://www.mymotherlode.com/news/east-europe/2613707/czechs-seize-record-amount-of-cocaine-in-banana-shipment.html | 2022-06-10T20:35:12Z | https://www.mymotherlode.com/news/east-europe/2613707/czechs-seize-record-amount-of-cocaine-in-banana-shipment.html | true | 33 |

Country music icon Garth Brooks said it best on Thursday night when he tweeted out a story from local Alabama news station WBRC. The “Friends In Low Places” singer said he’d heard of Uber drivers bringing fans to his concerts, but he’d never heard of fans bringing an Uber driver to his show. However, that’s exactly what happened to one lucky driver bringing two fans to Brooks’ ongoing stadium tour for his Friday, June 3rd concert in Birmingham.
Katie Watson and her husband are big fans of the famous country singer, so they made sure to get tickets to his recent show. Like many people attending, they took an Uber to the concert, but the first ride got canceled. Their next driver ended up being Vicky Wallace who, unbeknownst to her, had quite the surprise coming her way.
“It’s miraculous how God works in mysterious ways,” Watson said to WBRC.
During Watson and her husband’s ride to the show, they found out Wallace is also a fan of Garth Brooks.
“[Garth Brooks is] so sweet, he just always puts God first, you know? He’s awesome,” Wallace said of the famous country singer.
The couple was supposed to be joined by their friend, but she got Covid and couldn’t attend. That’s when the riders decided to surprise their Uber driver with an abrupt offer that Wallace couldn’t turn down.
Garth Brooks Fans Taking Their Uber Driver to His Show ‘Was Meant to Be’
The unexpected offer shocked Wallace, but after a little convincing, Watson and her husband had a companion for Brooks’ show. Wallace and Watson continued to share their feel-good story with WBRC.
“Literally on this block over here, Katie turned and says it like this, ‘So if you wanna park I have an extra ticket. My friend had Covid, she couldn’t come.’ What are you serious?’ Wallace said about the generous offer.
“So she u-turned so fast,” Watson said of Wallace’s reaction.
At first, the Uber driver had some reservations since Wallace didn’t think she was dressed appropriately. Yet she quickly realized it was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see one of country music’s finest on stage live. So she accepted the couple’s extra ticket.
“At first I was like, ‘oh no, I look terrible.’ I had on a t-shirt and sweatpants,” Wallace said.
“Listen, this is Garth Brooks, I’m going. Things like this don’t happen every day,” Wallace continued.
“It was just meant to be,” Watson said of being able to invite Wallace to the show.
The three Garth Brooks fans went to the concert and had a blast together. Wallace shared that the highlight of the night was Brooks covering Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Sweet Home Alabama.”
“I’m a country girl at heart, you know? I just am, I’m a southern belle,” Wallace said to WBRC. “So I was like that’s awesome, it was just the best part of the show.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden’s administration has scrapped former President Donald Trump’s red, white and blue design for the new generation of presidential aircraft.
The decision was made following an Air Force review suggested it would raise costs and delay the delivery of the new jets.
Boeing is currently modifying two Boeing 747-800 aircraft that will bear the Air Force One callsign when the president is aboard to replace the existing fleet of two aging Boeing 747-200 aircraft.
Trump in 2018 directed that the new jumbo jets shed the iconic Kennedy-era robin’s egg blue and white design for a deeper navy and streak of dark red.
According to Politico, which reviewed 2023 budget documents, the new planes may not be ready to fly a president for another four years. That's reportedly two years later than the initial plan. | https://www.kgun9.com/news/national/biden-nixes-trump-design-for-air-force-one-over-cost-delay | 2022-06-10T20:38:32Z | https://www.kgun9.com/news/national/biden-nixes-trump-design-for-air-force-one-over-cost-delay | false | null |
NEW TREND: “HEALTHY COKE”, OR BALSAMIC VINEGAR AND SPARKLING WATER?
This is a hard pass for me!
If you’re struggling to cut back on Coca-Cola, the geniuses on TikTok have a brilliant idea for you. It’s called “Healthy Coke,” and it went viral thanks to a woman who claimed it was something that her Pilates instructor drinks “almost every day.”
You can whip some up at home too. Here’s the recipe:
Get a glass, add some ice, pour a “splash” of balsamic vinegar in, and then top it off with sparkling water. Apparently, any flavour works. And boom, it tastes “just like a Coke.” Or not.
The reviews are very mixed, with some people liking it, others saying that it’s the grossest thing on the face of the Earth, and one lady who said that it didn’t taste like Coke, it was more like “a carbonated balsamic vinegar.” (???) | https://1075koolfm.com/new-trend-healthy-coke-or-balsamic-vinegar-and-sparkling-water/ | 2022-06-10T20:42:52Z | https://1075koolfm.com/new-trend-healthy-coke-or-balsamic-vinegar-and-sparkling-water/ | false | 1 |

A Texas judge on Friday temporarily blocked the state from investigating families of transgender children who have received gender-confirming medical care, a new obstacle to the state labeling such treatments as child abuse.
The temporary restraining order issued by Judge Jan Soifer halts investigations against three families who sued, and prevents any similar investigations against members of the LGBTQ advocacy group PFLAG Inc. The group has more than 600 members in Texas.
“I do find that there is sufficient reason to believe that the plaintiffs will suffer immediate and irreparable injury if the commissioner and the (Department of Family and Protective Services) are allowed to continue to implement and enforce this new Department rule that equates gender affirming care with child abuse," Soifer said at the end of a roughly 40-minute hearing.
The ruling comes about a month after the Texas Supreme Court allowed the state to investigate parents of transgender youth for child abuse while also ruling in favor of one family that was among the first contacted by child welfare officials following order by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott.
“That families will be protected from invasive, unnecessary, and unnerving investigations by DFPS simply for helping their transgender children thrive and be themselves is a very good thing,” Brian K. Bond, executive director of PFLAG National, said in a statement. “However, let’s be clear: These investigations into loving and affirming families shouldn’t be happening in the first place."
The latest challenge was brought by Lambda Legal and the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of the families of three teenage boys — two 16-year-olds and a 14-year-old — and PFLAG. An attorney for Lambda Legal told the judge that the 14-year-old's family had learned after the lawsuit's filing that the state's investigation into them had been dropped.
Spokespeople for Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton did not immediately respond to requests for comment Friday afternoon.
An attorney for the state had argued during the hearing that applying the order to any member of PFLAG was “untenable" and would be difficult for the department to comply with. But Lambda Legal senior counsel Paul Castillo said that parents could simply show their membership receipt or some other proof of membership.
The families had talked in court filings about the anxiety that the investigations had created for them and their children. The mother of one of the teens said her son attempted suicide and was hospitalized the day Abbott issued his directive. The outpatient psychiatric facility where the teen was referred reported the family for child abuse after learning he had been prescribed hormone therapy, she said in a court filing.
A judge in March put Abbott's order on hold after a lawsuit brought on behalf of a 16-year-old girl whose family said it was under investigation. The Texas Supreme Court in May ruled that the lower court overstepped its authority by blocking all investigations going forward.
That lawsuit marked the first report of parents being investigated following Abbott’s directive and an earlier nonbinding legal opinion by Paxton labeling certain gender-confirming treatments as “child abuse.” The Texas Department of Family and Protective Service has said it opened nine investigations following the directive and opinion.
Abbott’s directive and the attorney general’s opinion go against the nation’s largest medical groups, including the American Medical Association, which have opposed Republican-backed restrictions filed in statehouses nationwide.
Arkansas last year became the first state to pass a law prohibiting gender-confirming treatments for minors, and Tennessee approved a similar measure. A judge blocked Arkansas’ law, and a federal appeals court will hear arguments in the case next week. | https://www.thetelegraph.com/news/article/Judge-blocks-Texas-investigating-families-of-17233795.php | 2022-06-10T20:45:23Z | https://www.thetelegraph.com/news/article/Judge-blocks-Texas-investigating-families-of-17233795.php | false | 58 |

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks sank on Wall Street Friday after investors’ hopes were dashed that inflation might be peaking. Instead, it got worse last month and marked another 40-year high, ensuring that the Federal Reserve’s foot will remain firmly on the brake for the economy. Treasury yields soared toward their highest levels in years as investors anticipated that inflation won’t be ebbing any time soon. The S&P 500 gave up 2.9%, closing out its ninth losing week in the last 10. The growing expectation is for the Fed to raise its key short-term interest rate by half a percentage point at each of its next three meetings, beginning next week
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below.
NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks fell sharply Friday following Wall Street’s cold realization that inflation got worse last month, not better, as investors had been hoping.
The S&P 500 was 2.5% lower in afternoon trading and heading for its ninth losing week in the last 10, as Treasury yields soared to their highest levels in years. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 734 points, or 2.3%, at 31,538 as of 2:45 p.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 3.2% lower.
Wall Street came into Friday hoping a highly anticipated report would show the worst inflation in generations slowed a touch last month and passed its peak. Instead, the U.S. government said inflation accelerated to 8.6% in May from 8.3% a month before.
The Federal Reserve has already begun raising interest rates and making other moves in order to slow the economy, in hopes of forcing down inflation. Wall Street took Friday’s reading to mean the Fed’s foot will remain firmly on the brakes for the economy, dashing hopes that it may ease up later this year.
“Inflation is hot, hot, hot,” said Brian Jacobsen, senior investment strategist at Allspring Global Investments. “Basically, everything was up.”
The growing expectation is for the Fed to raise its key short-term interest rate by half a percentage point at each of its next three meetings, beginning next week. That third one in September had been up for debate among investors in recent weeks. Only once since 2000 has the Fed raised rates by that much, last month.
“No relief is in sight, but a lot can change between now and September,” Jacobsen said. “Nobody knows what the Fed will do in a few months including the Fed.”
The nation’s high inflation, plus the expectations for an aggressive Fed, have sent the two-year Treasury yield to its highest level since 2008 and the S&P 500 down 18.3% from its record set in early January. The worst pain hit high-growth technology stocks, cryptocurrencies and other particularly big winners of the pandemic’s earlier days. But the damage is broadening out as retailers and others are warning about upcoming profits.
Stock prices rise and fall on two things, essentially: how much cash a company produces and how much an investor is willing to pay for it. The Fed’s moves on interest rates heavily influence that second part.
Since early in the pandemic, record-low interest rates engineered by the Fed and other central banks helped keep investment prices high. Now “easy mode” for investors is abruptly and forcefully getting switched off.
Not only that, too-aggressive rate hikes by the Fed could ultimately force the economy into a recession. Higher interest rates make borrowing more expensive, which drags on spending and investments by households and companies.
One of the fears among investors is that food and fuel costs may keep surging, regardless of how aggressively the Fed moves.
“The fact is that the Fed has very little ability to control food prices,” Rick Rieder, BlackRock’s chief investment officer of global fixed income said in a statement. He pointed instead to mismatches in supplies and demand, higher costs for energy and wages and the crisis in Ukraine, which is a major breadbasket for the world.
That raises the threat that central banks will overly tighten the brakes on the economy, as they push against a string “and essentially fall into a damaging policy mistake,” Rieder said.
The economy has already shown some mixed signals, and a report on Friday indicated consumer sentiment is worsening more than economists expected. Much of the souring in the University of Michigan’s preliminary reading was due to higher gasoline prices.
That adds to several recent profit warnings from retailers indicating U.S. shoppers are slowing or at least changing their spending because of inflation. Such spending is the heart of the U.S. economy.
The two-year Treasury yield zoomed to 3.04% following the inflation report from 2.83% late Thursday, a big move for the bond market. During the day, it touched its highest level since George W. Bush’s presidency, according to data from Tradeweb.
The 10-year yield was also up, but not quite as dramatically as the two-year yield, which is more influenced by expectations for Fed movements. The 10-year yield climbed to 3.15% from 3.04% and touched its highest level since 2018.
The narrowing gap between those two yields is a signal that investors in the bond market are more concerned about economic growth. Usually, the gap is wide, with 10-year yields higher because they require investors lock away their dollars for longer.
A two-year yield higher than the 10-year yield would be a signal to some investors that a recession may hit in a year or two.
“This market is to some degree in this no-man’s land, where you don’t have a really good definite signal that says get constructive and buy the market, but you don’t have solid information about a recession being more likely in order to get more defensive,” said Jason Pride, chief investment officer of private wealth at Glenmede.
Friday’s losses were widespread for the S&P 500, with nearly 90% of stocks in the index dropping.
Big Tech stocks were some of the the heaviest weights amid broad losses for the biggest winners of the prior ultralow-rate era. Microsoft fell 3.7%, Amazon dropped 5.4% and Nvdia sank 5.3%.
Companies that depend on strong spending from consumers were also particularly weak following the reading on consumer sentiment. Caesars Entertainment fell 8.4%, and cruise operator Royal Caribbean fell 6.7%.
Stocks fell in Europe for a second day after the European Central Bank said it would raise interest rates for the first time in more than a decade to combat inflation.

WASHINGTON (Nexstar) — Experts say, without changes, by 2035 Social Security won’t be able to pay full benefits.
“What I want, I think most people want, is more than 13 years,” Sen. Bernie Sanders (L-Vt.) said.
Sanders believes the change should be increased funding.
“Our job in my view is not to cut Social Security. Is not to raise the retirement age as many of my Republican colleagues would have us do,” Sanders said.
Sanders introduced legislation to fully fund Social Security for the next 75 years by raising taxes on high income individuals.
“If you are a multi-billionaire, you pay the same amount of money into Social Security as someone who makes $147,000 a year,” Sanders said.
But Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), believes Sander’s plan will never pass.
“We’re going to need more revenue. But if you think taxing the wealthy is going to save Social Security, you’re wrong,” Graham said.
Graham argues that raising taxes will not receive bipartisan support.
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) echoed this message and says Sander’s bill will be a non-starter for every Republican in the House and the Senate.
“The idea is to have people come together, Republicans and Democrats, to see if we can find a solution. If we don’t do that, we will not save social security,” Romney said.
Experts say, for the future of Social Security, acting sooner rather than later is the right thing to do. | https://wreg.com/news/washington-dc-bureau/lawmakers-question-future-of-social-security/ | 2022-06-10T21:06:54Z | https://wreg.com/news/washington-dc-bureau/lawmakers-question-future-of-social-security/ | true | 23 |

Sonic and friends are coming to Netflix in a new animated series called Sonic Prime. While the series was officially announced last year, Netflix has been slowly rolling out teasers and character reveals for the universe-hopping animated series, and on Friday confirmed that Big the Cat and his pal Froggy will appear in Sonic Prime.
The duo will join the recently confirmed Shadow the Hedgehog in Sonic Prime.
Big the Cat is the big, anthropomorphic feline who lives to fish and wears a belt (but no pants?!); he was introduced to the Sonic the Hedgehog series with 1999’s Sonic Adventure. He’ll be among the Friends of Sonic that the sassy hedgehog will have to protect in Netflix’s brand-new animated series.
Sonic Prime will bring Sonic into his own multiverse, bridging many of Sonic’s various worlds, characters, and iterations. The series will feature 3D animation from WildBrain’s Vancouver studio. Deven Mack will provide the voice of Sonic. The show will also star Ashleigh Ball, Shannon Chan-Kent, Brian Drummond, and Vincent Tong.
Sonic Prime is expected to arrive on Netflix sometime later this year. | https://www.polygon.com/23162681/sonic-prime-trailer-netflix-big-the-cat-froggy | 2022-06-10T21:11:49Z | https://www.polygon.com/23162681/sonic-prime-trailer-netflix-big-the-cat-froggy | true | 2 |

GADSDEN, Ala. (AP) — A man fatally shot by police outside an Alabama school that officials said he attempted to enter had “serious mental issues” and attended the school as a child, according to his brother.
Justin White told WIAT-TV that Robert Tyler White, 32, seemed a little “off” the last time he saw him last week, but that wasn't unusual.
“He always seems off,” White said.
Officials said a “potential intruder” — later identified as White — went to several doors trying to get into Walnut Park Elementary School on Thursday while a summer literacy program was being conducted for nearly three dozen children. All the exterior doors were locked and the man was killed after attempting to grab an officer's gun outside the building, state police said.
Justin White said his older brother suffered from “serious mental issues” and might have tried to have police kill him.
White said his brother, who he called “Bobby," had been a garbage collector in North Carolina for eight years before coming back to Gadsden. The brother attended Walnut Park as a child and didn't ever get the mental health help he needed, White said.
“But I thought he was doing good,” White said.
Justin White said he was surprised his brother was involved in the incident, but added that the man also was a “hot head.”
Authorities have not said whether Bobby White, who previously lived in Bunnlevel, North Carolina, was armed or why he might have been trying to get into the school or a police patrol car that state police said he tried to enter before he was killed. | https://www.thehour.com/news/article/Brother-Man-shot-by-police-near-school-had-17233888.php | 2022-06-10T21:11:50Z | https://www.thehour.com/news/article/Brother-Man-shot-by-police-near-school-had-17233888.php | true | 11 |

Justin Bieber has revealed he has Ramsay Hunt syndrome, causing paralysis to his face as a result of a virus.
The singer, 28, had recently cancelled some dates on his Justice World Tour and took to Instagram to share the reason with fans.
He explained: ‘Hey everyone Justin here, I wanted to update you guys on what’s been going on.
‘Obviously as you can probably see with my face, I have this syndrome called Ramsay Hunt syndrome and it is from this virus that attacks the nerves in my ear and my facial nerves and has caused my face to have paralysis.’
Justin added that it was ‘pretty serious’ and told fans: ‘Obviously my body is telling me I’ve got to slow down.’
In the video Justin showed that he was unable to smile, blink or flare the nostril on one side of his face as a result of the nerve issue.
He added: ‘So for those who are frustrated by my cancellations of the next shows, I’m just physically obviously not capable of doing them. This is pretty serious, as you can see, I wish this wasn’t the case.
‘But obviously my body is telling me I’ve got to slow down and I hope you guys understand.’
Justin had earlier revealed that the upcoming shows on his 130-date tour would be cancelled due to a ‘non-Covid related illness.’
He wrote at the time: ‘Can’t believe I’m saying this. I’ve done everything to get better but my sickness is getting worse.
‘My heart breaks that I will have to postpone these next few shows (doctors orders). To all my people I love you so much and I’m gonna rest and get better.’
Justin added that he was doing facial exercises to regain the feeling in his face and vowed to get back to full health.
Ramsay Hunt syndrome occurs when a shingles outbreak affects the facial nerve near the ear, which can cause facial paralysis and hearing loss in the affected ear.
It is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox, with the virus remaining dormant in the nerves with the potential to flare up years later.
Ramsay Hunt syndrome needs prompt treatment to reduce the risk of complications which can include permanent facial muscle weakness and deafness, according to the Mayo Clinic, but for most the effects are temporary.

$3M settlement reached in lawsuit over Black man's death
A North Carolina sheriff's office announced a $3 million settlement on Monday in a lawsuit filed by the family of an unarmed Black man who was shot and killed in his car by sheriff’s deputies more than a year ago.
The family of Andrew Brown Jr. had filed a $30 million civil rights lawsuit in 2021, saying the man died because officers showed "intentional and reckless disregard of his life."
Brown was killed on April 21 of last year by Pasquotank County sheriff’s deputies while they were serving drug-related warrants at his Elizabeth City home. Several deputies surrounded Brown in his BMW before his car backed up and moved forward. They fired several shots at and into his vehicle. He was killed by a bullet to the back of his head.
District Attorney Andrew Womble had said at a news conference last year that Brown used his car as a "deadly weapon," causing deputies to believe it was necessary to use deadly force. But lawyers for the Brown family said the shooting was unjustified because Brown was trying to drive away — not toward the deputies and that he posed no threat. After viewing body camera footage of the shooting, they said Brown was sitting in his stationary car with his hands on the wheel when the first of numerous shots was fired.
The settlement was approved by the Pasquotank County Board of Commissioners. It includes a special $1 million appropriation to go along with $2 million from the county's insurance policy, which was supplied by the North Carolina Counties Liabilities Pool, according to a statement from the sheriff’s office provided to The Associated Press. That amount is at the limit of the policy.
The settlement was reached over several weeks last month in the case overseen by a federal magistrate in U.S. District Court in Raleigh, the news release said.
The county's payment resolves potential liability against the defendants and any individual officers who were either named or could be named as defendants in the lawsuit, the news release said. The family also entered into a stipulation in which it dismisses all claims against the defendants, namely Pasquotank County Sheriff Tommy Wooten II and three sheriff's deputies, as well as other potential claims arising from Brown's death, the news release said.
Brown's children will share in the proceeds of the settlement as heirs of his estate, the sheriff's office said.
“Andrew Brown Jr. was a devoted father who wanted his children to have the things he didn't,” said a statement from the five attorneys representing his family. “While no settlement could ever fill the hole his death left in their hearts, this agreement is about providing for those children's futures, securing their education and ensuring their dreams didn't die with their father.”
At the time, the lawsuit filed by the Brown family was the latest in a string of federal civil rights lawsuits following high-profile police shootings of Black and brown people. Many ended in settlements that often included money but specified no admission of guilt. Some of the lawsuits end up in court where a jury can award massive settlements that are reduced on appeal.
An independent autopsy commissioned by the family said Brown was shot five times, including once in the back of the head. Family members who were privately shown a portion of the body camera video afterward said Brown was trying to drive away when he was shot. The shooting sparked days of protests in the city in rural northeastern North Carolina.

ROCHESTER — DoubleTree by Hilton owner Andy Chafoulias described the decision to transform the longtime downtown Rochester hotel into freshmen student housing as a “difficult one,” in the wake of the University of Minnesota’s approval of the plan this week.
“The university meant a lot to my father (Gus Chafoulias), and I know the vibrancy of downtown Rochester is elevated by the growing presence of UMR students. This was a difficult decision,” wrote Chafoulias in a statement following an approval vote by the U of M Regents.
The university will lease nine floors of the 34-year-old DoubleTree Hotel at 150 South Broadway to adapt the about 200 rooms to provide 400 freshman student housing beds as well as gathering, dining and recreational space. Upperclass UMR students will continue to be housed in downtown apartments in 318 Commons and Residence at Discovery Square.
The university is leasing floors 3 to 11 for $3.06 million annually for 12 years with the gross rent increasing 1.75% a year. The deal includes the university paying a pro rata share of real estate taxes and utilities, which is estimated at $1.01 million for the first year.
The hotel, which is managed by Chafoulias’ Avra Hospitality, would be required to make an estimated $7.63 million in renovations “to convert it from its current use as a hotel into a student housing and dining facility with ancillary recreational space.”

Avra Corporate Director of PR and Marketing Michelle Milde said it has not yet been determined when the construction will begin or when the property will stop accepting hotel guests. The lease starts in August 2023 — not this fall, as was previously reported — and the university anticipates using the property for the 2023 fall semester.
Under the agreement, Titan would provide "a full-service dining program for three meals a day, seven days a week during the academic year.” That is an aspect of the deal that UMR Chancellor Lori Carrell said is very important to students, who currently struggle with the cost of meals in downtown Rochester.
Pescara restaurant and Café Steam, two private businesses that lease space in the DoubleTree hotel, will remain open throughout the construction and after the university takes over, added Milde.
This represents a significant change for downtown Rochester, which has added many new hotels in recent years as the city promotes the Destination Medical Center initiative to bring more patients to Mayo Clinic. Rochester is estimated to have more than 5,800 hotel rooms, with about 2,100 of those being in downtown.
Hospitality, which is Rochester’s second largest industry, is still recovering from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic with numbers running 20% below the 2019 averages.
In pre-pandemic June 8, 2019, Rochester’s hotels reported an average occupancy rate of 68.1% with an average revenue per available room of $79.98, according to the hospitality data firm STR.
STR reported the current Rochester hotel occupancy rate, as of June 6, 2022, is an average of 53.9%. The current average RevPAR is $63.51.
In the announcement of the final university approval, Chafoulias stated that the hotel has been doing well.

“DoubleTree is not being redeveloped due to a lack of success, but instead, due to the outweighing benefits of the revitalization of downtown and the positive impact that the new facility will bring to retailers and dining establishments,” wrote Chafoulias of the hotel his father built in 1984. “DoubleTree has been an award-winning and well performing hotel in Rochester for years, it is emotional yet exciting to see the building undergo this transition.”
Chafoulias also owns the nearby Hilton Rochester luxury hotel as well as the Hilton Garden Inn hotel, so guests who have stayed at the DoubleTree could be shifted to those properties.
Holly Masek, executive director of the Rochester Downtown Alliance, commented that she has seen many hotels in Boston be converted to student housing, so this is not too unusual. However, she was a little surprised that a hotel that is so close to the Mayo Civic Center would choose such a transition.
“It is a really interesting evolution for downtown,” she said. “I think it is exciting to see the university doubling down on downtown.”
The city has been promoting the idea of downtown living in recent years to attract more residents to the area. Masek acknowledged that bringing more college students downtown only partially checks that box.
“A college student is not exactly the same thing as an adult resident,” she said. “I think college students will bring a bunch of creativity and vibrancy to downtown.”
This surge in university activity is a change from the push for more hospitality - hotels and restaurants - in downtown Rochester as part of the Destination Medical Center initiative and the drive to provide more amenities to Mayo Clinic visitors.
Destination Medical Center Economic Development Agency Executive Director Patrick Seeb said this week that his organization supports this plan.

“While DMC has not been involved with this initiative, we are supportive of UMR’s efforts to grow consistent with their vision. The lack of student housing has been a stopping point for UMR’s continued success in developing tomorrow’s workforce,’ stated Seeb. “Having students in the downtown area will add to the growth, vitality, and energy in the area.”
It is unclear how the DoubleTree freshman housing center fits into UMR’s overall Rochester campus plans. The university, in conjunction with the city and the Destination Medical Center initiative have previously designated a 10-acre area between South Broadway and First Avenue Southwest as the future home for a UMR campus.
The university has spent millions of dollars purchasing and demolishing buildings in that area since 2009. The most recent move was the $770,000 purchase of the small former Running Room building and land in May.
UMR is scheduled to have its “comprehensive campus plan,” reviewed and updated by the university regents in 2023.
Exploration of future facilities and partnerships for the university will continue, as the current housing project with Titan Development will allow UMR to continue its growth,” according to the joint UMR/Titan Development statement released Friday.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — U.S. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland on Friday rolled out guidelines for a new youth service program meant to create job opportunities for Native Americans while boosting their cultural connections to nature through conservation projects on tribal and public land.
The Indian Youth Service Corps is the latest addition to the Biden administration's plans for building a 21st century version of the New Deal-era Civilian Conservation Corps. The mission includes everything from clearing brush to reduce wildfire threats and restore forests to preserving historic sites, helping with archaeological research and building trails.
Haaland talked about a childhood spent hiking to the top of high desert mesas, wading through ice-cold streams and learning about the world's interconnectedness from her grandparents while walking through corn fields at Laguna Pueblo in west-central New Mexico.
“I want everyone to have that profound connection to the great outdoors that I was gifted, and we can help more people access nature no matter where they're from or what their background,” she said Friday during a call with reporters. “We will help lift up the next generation of stewards for this Earth.”
Haaland described Native Americans as original stewards of the land, saying they have learned over many generations how to sustain communities and that it's time for Indigenous youth to have a seat at the table.
The Interior Department is funneling a combined $3.3 million this year to the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the National Park Service and the Bureau of Reclamation to establish the Indian Youth Service Corps.
The U.S. Forest Service is investing up to $5 million as part of its partnership with the corps, and the National Park Foundation is committing $1 million.
Future funding will depend on agency budgets and private philanthropy.
Will Shafroth, president and CEO of the National Park Foundation, said enthusiasm is increasing for programs that give young people paying jobs and training for professions related to public lands and natural resource management.
“It checks a lot of really important boxes for donors, and I think the future is very bright for private funding to support these efforts,” he said.
The foundation is funding more than 10 conservation and preservation projects from Maine to New Mexico that involve tribal youth crews. Some of the work is aimed at protecting cultural practices, languages and traditional ecological knowledge used for land management.
One of the first Indian Youth Service Corps projects will be in southern Arizona. Six members of the Tohono O’Odham Nation will work as a crew on the Coronado National Forest.
Other work around the Southwest will include native seed collection as land managers work with scientists to reforest areas charred by wildfire.
Congresswoman Teresa Leger Fernández of New Mexico said the new corps will ultimately lead to more traditional knowledge being incorporated into future conservation efforts as participants move into leadership roles as adults.
“With this program, knowledge is going to flow both ways,” she said. | https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Native-American-youth-to-be-tapped-for-17233837.php | 2022-06-10T21:20:48Z | https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Native-American-youth-to-be-tapped-for-17233837.php | false | 31 |
Judge blocks Texas investigating families of trans youth
(AP) - A Texas judge on Friday temporarily blocked the state from investigating families of transgender children who have received gender-confirming medical care, a new obstacle to the state labeling such treatments as child abuse.
The temporary restraining order issued by Judge Jan Soifer halts investigations against three families who sued, and prevents any similar investigations against members of the LGBTQ advocacy group PFLAG Inc. The group has more than 600 members in Texas.
“I do find that there is sufficient reason to believe that the plaintiffs will suffer immediate and irreparable injury if the commissioner and the (Department of Family and Protective Services) are allowed to continue to implement and enforce this new Department rule that equates gender affirming care with child abuse,” Soifer said at the end of a roughly 40-minute hearing.
The ruling comes about a month after the Texas Supreme Court allowed the state to investigate parents of transgender youth for child abuse while also ruling in favor of one family that was among the first contacted by child welfare officials following order by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott.
“That families will be protected from invasive, unnecessary, and unnerving investigations by DFPS simply for helping their transgender children thrive and be themselves is a very good thing,” Brian K. Bond, executive director of PFLAG National, said in a statement. “However, let’s be clear: These investigations into loving and affirming families shouldn’t be happening in the first place.”
The latest challenge was brought by Lambda Legal and the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of the families of three teenage boys — two 16-year-olds and a 14-year-old — and PFLAG. An attorney for Lambda Legal told the judge that the 14-year-old’s family had learned after the lawsuit’s filing that the state’s investigation into them had been dropped.
Spokespeople for Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton did not immediately respond to requests for comment Friday afternoon.
An attorney for the state had argued during the hearing that applying the order to any member of PFLAG was “untenable” and would be difficult for the department to comply with. But Lambda Legal senior counsel Paul Castillo said that parents could simply show their membership receipt or some other proof of membership.
The families had talked in court filings about the anxiety that the investigations had created for them and their children. The mother of one of the teens said her son attempted suicide and was hospitalized the day Abbott issued his directive. The outpatient psychiatric facility where the teen was referred reported the family for child abuse after learning he had been prescribed hormone therapy, she said in a court filing.
A judge in March put Abbott’s order on hold after a lawsuit brought on behalf of a 16-year-old girl whose family said it was under investigation. The Texas Supreme Court in May ruled that the lower court overstepped its authority by blocking all investigations going forward.
That lawsuit marked the first report of parents being investigated following Abbott’s directive and an earlier nonbinding legal opinion by Paxton labeling certain gender-confirming treatments as “child abuse.” The Texas Department of Family and Protective Service has said it opened nine investigations following the directive and opinion.
Abbott’s directive and the attorney general’s opinion go against the nation’s largest medical groups, including the American Medical Association, which have opposed Republican-backed restrictions filed in statehouses nationwide.
Arkansas last year became the first state to pass a law prohibiting gender-confirming treatments for minors, and Tennessee approved a similar measure. A judge blocked Arkansas’ law, and a federal appeals court will hear arguments in the case next week.

The Union of BC Indian Chiefs is asking its members how much racism or discrimination they encounter when presenting their status card at banks or retail outlets.
A news release from the organization says members will be asked to take part in an online survey to determine the extent of difficulties they face when using the card that confirms they are a registered status Indian under the Indian Act.
Using the card can ensure access to certain rights and benefits, including some tax exemptions, but the group’s vice-president, Chief Don Tom, says there is a lack of data on what happens when status cards are presented, so the survey will provide a way to measure the problem.

Kúkpi7 Judy Wilson, the group’s secretary-treasurer, says it’s hoped at least 1,000 status card users share their experiences. She says results of the study will be made public and will be used in ongoing and future legal proceedings as the organization works toward positive change.
The survey follows the 2019 arrest and handcuffing of Heiltsuk First Nation member Maxwell Johnson and his granddaughter as they presented their status cards while opening an account for the young girl at a Vancouver bank.
An investigation has since determined the two Vancouver police officers committed misconduct when they detained and handcuffed the pair and both officers were disciplined and ordered to write apologies to Maxwell and his granddaughter.
Grand Chief Stewart Phillip says the online survey is “critical” to determining the extent of discrimination encountered when presenting a status card. The responses will “give us the tools we need to make change in the courts of law and public opinion,” Phillip says in the statement.
“It will also tell us more about how Indigenous people adapt their clothes, their demeanour and their conversation to avoid racism,” he says.
The survey, posted on the Union of BC Indian Chiefs website is open to eligible participants until July 1. | https://globalnews.ca/news/8912333/indigenous-leaders-survey-status-card-racism/ | 2022-06-10T21:22:28Z | https://globalnews.ca/news/8912333/indigenous-leaders-survey-status-card-racism/ | false | 10 |

NEW YORK (AP) — The U.S. government is buying more monkeypox vaccine as a surprising international outbreak continues to grow, health officials said Friday.
As of Friday, the U.S. had identified 45 cases in 15 states and the District of Columbia. More than 1,300 cases have been found in about 30 other countries outside the areas of Africa where the virus is endemic.
Officials say the risk to the American public is low, but they are taking steps to assure people that medical measures are in place to deal with the growing problem.
A two-dose vaccine, Jynneos, is approved for monkeypox in the U.S.
The U.S. government has 72,000 Jynneos doses, and will get 300,000 more doses from its manufacturer, Bavarian Nordic, over the next several weeks, said Dawn O’Connell, who oversees the government’s stockpile of emergency vaccines and treatments.
On Friday, the government announced it had ordered 500,000 more Jynneos doses from Bavarian Nordic to be delivered late this year. The company also is holding other doses owned by the U.S. government, she said.
“We have the vaccines and treatments we need to respond,” said O’Connell, of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Monkeypox is endemic in parts of Africa, where people have been infected through bites from rodents or small animals. It does not usually spread easily among people.
Last month, cases began emerging in Europe and the United States. Many — but not all — of those who contracted the virus had traveled internationally. Most were men who have sex with men, but health officials stress that anyone can get monkeypox.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday that every U.S. case they had looked at involved very close contact.
Officials have alerted doctors to watch for monkeypox cases and offered vaccinations to people in contact with those who were infected.
So far, over 1,400 vaccine courses and over 110 treatment courses have been sent to affected state and local jurisdictions, officials said. | https://www.kxan.com/news/national-news/us-buys-more-monkeypox-vaccine-as-global-case-count-tops-1300/ | 2022-06-10T21:23:20Z | https://www.kxan.com/news/national-news/us-buys-more-monkeypox-vaccine-as-global-case-count-tops-1300/ | false | 39 |
Cashing in on the courtroom drama: Spectator at Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's trial flogs notebook filled with 'top secret' jury observations for a staggering $15,000 - as others sell USED wristbands for up to $5,000
- Larry Forman, a defense attorney from Louisville, Kentucky, who was not involved professionally in the trial, attended the court case back in May
- Forman made 60 pages of notes detailing the juror's facial expressions, their reactions to the witnesses, and their interactions with one another
- He then listed it on the e-commerce website eBay, calling it a 'piece of history' with 'never before seen top secret information' on the trial
- It ultimately sold for $14,969, and he plans to donate his earnings to the Children's Hospital in Los Angeles (CHLA)
- The lawyer is also selling his used wristbands, which gained him access to the trial - with the one used to enter the trial on the last day going for $5,000
- Others are also re-selling their entry bracelets to the trial on the site, but the prices are not as steep - ranging from $50 to $3,500
Memorabilia from the Depp-Heard defamation trial - including used wristbands and a notebook full of 'top secret' jury observations - are now selling for thousands of dollars on eBay.
Larry Forman, a defense attorney from Louisville, Kentucky, attended the court case - which saw Depp win $15 million, while Heard took home $2 million - for various days back in May, and during his time there, he wrote down almost everything he saw in a notebook.
Exes Heard, 35, and Depp, 58 - who tied the knot in 2015, and were married for one year before Heard filed for divorce in 2016 - battled it out in court to determine if a 2018 Washington Post essay written by Heard, in which she accused the actor of domestic abuse, defamed Depp.

One page of the journal could be seen, featuring what appears to be notes and signatures left by others
Forman appears to have kept the more juicy details about the jury hidden, sharing a peak into his journal on the eBay listing but covering much of the writing up with a yellow paper
Forman, who was not professionally involved in the case, made 60 pages of notes detailing the juror's facial expressions, their reactions to the witnesses, and their interactions with one another.
He then listed it on the e-commerce website eBay, calling it a 'piece of history' with 'never before seen top secret information' on the trial, where it ultimately sold for $14,969.
It was first listed on June 1 with a starting bid of 99 cents, and it went on to receive more than 100 bids before it sold for just under $15,000 on June 8.
Forman told Insider that he decided to go to the trial, which swept the nation and was talked about by millions of people around the world - in early May after becoming 'enamored with the case.'
Although the trial was livestreamed online, the jury was never shown on camera, so Forman said he thought it was 'important' to document their every move while he was there.
'You have to see how they react to defense witnesses. Then you have to see how they react to the plaintiff's witnesses. Then you have to see how they react during breaks,' he explained.

'Who do they look at? Who do they smile at? Having that attorney knowledge ... has put me in the absolute best position to watch that and comment on it.'
Forman - who plans to donate his earnings to the Children's Hospital in Los Angeles (CHLA) - is now also selling his used wristbands, which gained him access to the trial - with the one used to enter the trial on the last day going for $5,000. The auction is set to end in nine days, and it doesn't have any bids yet.

'Own a piece of pop culture history while supporting a great cause, Children's Hospital in Los Angeles,' he wrote in the description.
'Rare item, in prestige condition, fully intact. Wristband has not been cut.'
Heard previously stated that she was going to donate the $7 million that she earned in her divorce settlement from Depp to two charities, including the hospital, but ultimately only gave CHLA $250,000.
In the trial, the actress claimed that she gave less to the hospital because Depp began suing her for $50 million, but insisted that she still plans to 'honor her pledges.'
Foreman added in the description for the wristbands, 'While others have failed, lied and misled the world about their philanthropy, we - a select few, who were on the ground reporting live from the courtroom when justice prevailed during Depp V. Heard, are sponsoring this auction to benefit CHLA.
He is also selling his used wristbands, which gained him access to the trial - with the one used to enter the trial on the last day going for $5,000 (pictured)
Others are also re-selling their entry bracelets to the trial on the site, but the prices are not as steep - ranging from one May 16 band for $50 and another from the final day for $3,500
Hundreds would line up for hours in the hopes of getting in, with people starting to queue as early as midnight the night before. Fans are pictured outside of the courtroom on the last day
'Now is the time for the public to step up and donate where others have faltered in their pledges. Now is the time to to become role models in altruism.'
Others are also re-selling their entry bracelets to the trial on the site, but the prices are not as steep - ranging from one day 16 band which has a starting bid of $50 and another from the final day which is currently up to $3,500.
Every day of the trial, which took place in Fairfax, Virginia, the first 100 people in line received a wristband and were allowed in to watch.
Hundreds would line up for hours in the hopes of getting in, with president of West Coast Trial Lawyers Neama Rahmani telling the outlet that people would start queuing as early as midnight the night before.
On May May 31, the jury ruled firmly in favor of the Pirates of the Caribbean star, stating that he was defamed by his former spouse, who was ordered to pay him $15 million in punitive and compensatory damages.
Heard was awarded $2 million in compensatory damages out of the $100 million she was seeking in her countersuit against her ex. She was awarded zero dollars in punitive damages.
According to Foreman, he was confident that Depp was going to win the trial, after studying the jury carefully.
Someone posted a screenshot of Foreman's listing of the notebook to TikTok where it quickly went viral - leaving the internet divided over his decision to sell it online
Some people called it 'icky' and 'weird' that he was selling the journal, while others defended him and pointed out that the money was going to charity
'Watching the jury, I was absolutely convinced that some of them, not all of them - number two and number six and number five were the hardest ones to read - were going to be on Johnny's side,' he said.
'After seeing their reactions, I was firmly convinced that Johnny was going to win.'
Someone posted a screenshot of Foreman's listing of the notebook to TikTok where it quickly went viral - gaining more than 686,000 views in a matter of hours and leaving the internet divided over his decision to sell it online.
'There's a guy who attended the Amber Heard and Jonny Depp trial. He took notes in this notebook that he just sold on eBay for a ton of money,' the TikTok user, named Shannon Burns, said in the clip.
'He has about 60 pages of notes and it has information that wasn't show in the livestream, like different reactions from the jurors and things like that.
'The whole court case turned into a huge spectacle so it's not surprising that he ended up selling the notebook on eBay for just under $15,000.'
Some people called it 'icky' and 'weird' that he was selling the journal, while others defended him and pointed out that the money was going to charity.
'People are so obsessed with celebrity libel trials it’s truly sad,' one person wrote in the comment section.
'Nah, I'm done with this society,' added another, while a third person said, 'I don't understand why anyone would buy that.'
'This whole thing feels ick,' agreed a different user. Another comment read, 'People are insane, SMH.'
'He donated all the money,' defended someone else. Another gushed, 'That's an amazing human right there.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-10905211/Memorabilia-Depp-Heard-defamation-trial-selling-THOUSANDS-dollars-eBay.html | 2022-06-10T21:31:47Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-10905211/Memorabilia-Depp-Heard-defamation-trial-selling-THOUSANDS-dollars-eBay.html | false | 3 |
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA is launching a study of UFOs as part of a new push toward high-risk, high-impact science.
The space agency announced Thursday that it’s setting up an independent team to see how much information is publicly available on the matter and how much more is needed to understand the unexplained sightings. The experts will also consider how best to use all this information in the future.
NASA’s science mission chief, Thomas Zurbuchen acknowledged the traditional scientific community may see NASA as “kind of selling out” by venturing into the controversial topic, but he strongly disagrees.
“We are not shying away from reputational risk,” Zurbuchen said during a National Academy of Sciences webcast. “Our strong belief is that the biggest challenge of these phenomena is that it’s a data-poor field.”
NASA considers this a first step in trying to explain mysterious sightings in the sky known as UAPs, or unidentified aerial phenomena.
The study will begin this fall and last nine months, costing no more than $100,000. It will be entirely open, with no classified military data used.
NASA said the team will be led by astrophysicist David Spergel, president of the Simons Foundation for advancing scientific research. In a news conference, Spergel said the only preconceived notion going into the study is that the UAPs will likely have multiple explanations.
“We have to approach all these questions with a sense of humility,” Spergel said. “I spent most of my career as a cosmologist. I can tell you we don’t know what makes up 95% of the universe. So there are things we don’t understand.”

Toxic blue-green algae has once again been detected in Lady Bird Lake.
The city says it's working to stifle the blooms that killed a handful of dogs in 2019. Next week, staff will treat the water at Red Bud Isle and on the northern banks of Lady Bird Lake east of I-35 with a nontoxic chemical that starves out the algae.
The algae contains a potent neurotoxin that can kill dogs and other animals. The city is warning pet owners to avoid the affected areas and to make sure dogs that go in the water don't lick their fur before rinsing off. The toxin can cause headaches, muscle weakness, nausea and even liver damage in humans, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
On Monday and Tuesday, city crews will apply 30,000 pounds of Phoslock at each site. The cloudy chemical prevents the algae's ability to absorb phosphorus — a key food source for the algae. The city says Phoslock is not harmful to the environment or humans.
The city is asking folks on the water those days to avoid the barges staff will use to apply the chemical, adding that it will settle to the bottom of the lake within a few hours.
The city said the treatments will cost $300,000.
The algae has plagued Austin for the last three years. It was first discovered at Red Bud Isle, where it killed several dogs. Austin's hot and dry summers, combined with runoff from the Highland Lakes, create perfect conditions for the blooms. Cyanobacteria, the neurotoxin that gloms onto the algae blooms, flourishes in warm, stagnant water. It typically thrives in summers, then dies when waters cool down in the winter.
Austin has been testing along Lady Bird Lake since 2019. The city's Watershed Protection Department began treating waters with Phoslock last year.
The city says crews will reapply the chemical later this summer. | https://www.kut.org/energy-environment/2022-06-10/toxic-algae-blooms-red-bud-isle | 2022-06-10T21:35:38Z | https://www.kut.org/energy-environment/2022-06-10/toxic-algae-blooms-red-bud-isle | false | 1 |
The world’s ocean freight shipping companies recently called on international maritime authorities to exclude pollution that their vessels spew in bad weather from new regulations, a condition that would apply almost a third of the time in the Atlantic. But the effort failed Friday.
Under international laws due to come into force in 2023, all big vessels will be rated from A to E by how much carbon dioxide flows from their stacks for every mile traveled and ton carried. The idea is to incentivize owners to install cleaner technologies. Although the proposed rules are currently toothless, nation states might bring in penalties for high-polluting ships in the future.
In April, four trade groups, including the World Shipping Council, complained that the new rules would penalize ships that have to sail in rough conditions. This burns more fuel and produces more carbon dioxide, meaning ships in windy seas would get a worse carbon efficiency rating.
So the trade groups proposed to the International Maritime Organization in written submissions that periods of eight hours or more undertaken in bad weather be struck from the scoring entirely. They defined bad weather as wind speeds of 28 knots or waves four meters (13.1 feet) high.
“It would pretend that ships hardly ever sail in stormy weather and only calculate the carbon intensity of the ship under the most favorable conditions,” said Bryan Comer, who heads up the marine program at the International Council of Clean Transportation.
The International Maritime Organization, made up of member countries, has now rejected that idea.
Going slow is one of the best ways to reduce emissions. If they had won the exemption, ships could have gone as fast as they wanted in bad weather, Comer said, burning more fuel than usual without it showing up in their ratings. This might enable them to hit tougher deadlines and win contracts.
“There is actually an incentive if this had gone forward to sail in adverse weather,” said Comer.
According to the World Shipping Council, waves exceed four meters in the North Atlantic more than 30% of the time.
The World Shipping Council argued that factors like extreme weather “distort the picture and make the numbers less effective at driving the change we want.”
The trade group conceded it was “logical at first glance” that the proposal might incentive ships to sail into heavy weather, but said the high cost of fuel made this very unlikely. It pointed out sailing in rough seas can use 30% more fuel than in calmer weather, thus saddling ships with a worse rating. Ships that routinely traverse calm waters such as those off Nigeria would more easily win top grades while those that have to cross the Atlantic would automatically look worse.
“Failing to address these inequities… unfairly labels certain ships as ‘inferior’ because of the routes they serve,” the World Shipping Council said.
James Gamble, a program director at Pacific Environment, which works to protect the Pacific Ocean and coastal communities, has also been following the negotiations.
The proposed regulations should be left as they are to achieve 2030 emissions targets, he said. While trade groups can give good advice on cutting emissions, their primary focus is on making members money, he said.
What was really at issue, Gamble said, is that “ships that are low-rated will be at a market disadvantage with customers who want to transport their goods with as little emissions as possible.”
The World Shipping Council represents more than a dozen companies, including the two largest ship owners, Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) and Maersk.
Both have made stringent promises to cut greenhouse gases. MSC has pledged to hit net zero by 2050, while Maersk says it will do so ten years earlier.
The World Shipping Council said having a carbon intensity score that correctly reflects vessels’ energy efficiency is “crucial”.
Responding to a request for comment, the trade group took a somewhat different position than in its filings. An average rate of fuel use should be applied during rough seas, rather than subtracting these portions of the journey completely, the company said by email.
When The Associated Press pointed out the effect would be the same, because carbon efficiency ratings are a ratio and not a measure of total emissions, the company said “recent internal discussions” had led it to reconsider this suggestion.
It concluded, “I doubt that we will advance the idea” which “may offer little mathematical difference in the calculation.”
For the climate, it’s actual emissions that matter.
“The regulation would be working if ships that consume more fuel are graded more harshly,” said marine emissions expert Bryan Comer.
Neither Maersk or MSC returned requests for comment.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — Black civil rights activists in April demanded that a Michigan prosecutor stand aside in the investigation of the police officer who killed Patrick Lyoya with a shot to the back of the head, claiming he was too cozy with local law enforcement.
Chris Becker’s response: This is what I was elected to do.
Becker, a Republican, filed a second-degree murder charge Thursday against Grand Rapids Officer Christopher Schurr, whose fatal shot following a traffic stop on April 4 was recorded on a bystander’s phone. The announcement was praised by critics who for weeks had said that Michigan’s Democratic attorney general should take over.
“I was shocked, to be quite honest. I was absolutely shocked. I didn’t expect that,” said Cle Jackson, president of the Greater Grand Rapids NAACP, who previously had said that an unbiased investigation by Becker’s office was not possible.
“We’re thankful for Chris having that fortitude to bring the charge that we feel comfortable with. Now we’ll have to continue to fight in the courts,” Jackson said.
A judge set bond Friday at $100,000 for Schurr, 31, who appeared in court by video from jail. A not-guilty plea was entered on his behalf. His attorneys insist Schurr feared for his safety when he shot Lyoya, 26, a refugee from Congo.
The courtroom benches were full of spectators, some wearing T-shirts with pro-police slogans, including #StandwithSchurr. As dozens of Schurr supporters departed, many embracing, they were met by pro-Lyoya demonstrators chanting, “Justice for Patrick!” The Schurr crowd said little. One white man tried to debate with the pro-Lyoya group but was quickly shouted down.
The practice of state prosecutors handling police shootings has become common, especially in tense, high-profile cases with diverging public opinion and perceptions that local authorities favor officers. In Minnesota, the attorney general’s office won convictions against Derek Chauvin in the death of George Floyd and Kim Potter in the fatal shooting of Daunte Wright.
Maine has long given its attorney general sole power in such cases. California requires the attorney general to investigate fatal police shootings of unarmed civilians. New York created a special unit within the attorney general’s office. Minnesota state prosecutors take cases upon request.
In Michigan, Becker could have asked Attorney General Dana Nessel to step in — an option for a prosecutor who has a conflict of interest or needs certain expertise — but he said it wasn’t necessary.
The son of a longtime local newspaper sports editor, Becker was elected Kent County prosecutor in 2016 after years as a trial lawyer in the same office.
He dismissed claims that he couldn’t fairly examine the acts of a police officer in Grand Rapids, the largest city in western Michigan with a population of roughly 200,000.
“We are our own entity,” he said Thursday. “We have a duty to enforce the law. We work a lot with them, but we don’t work for them.”
Local defense attorney Rick Zambon said earlier criticism of Becker was unfair.
“I’ve been dealing with him for 30 years,” Zambon said. “I’ve always found him to be a forthright, open-minded person. He doesn’t play politics. … I don’t always agree with his charging decisions, but I can’t say they’re not without a lot of thought.”
Nessel, who repeatedly said she was willing to take the Lyoya case if asked, complimented the “exhaustive review” by state police and Becker’s office. Lyoya’s family, too, said the second-degree murder charge fit.
Ven Johnson, a lawyer who is expected to file a lawsuit over the shooting, was scheduling media interviews this week with Lyoya’s family to express anger over the pace of the investigation before Becker signaled that his decision was in.
“While the road to justice for Patrick and his family has just begun, this decision is a crucial step in the right direction,” co-counsel Ben Crump said.
After the charge was announced, protesters gathered outside City Hall and the Grand Rapids Police Department. Some weren’t satisfied.
“I appreciate the second-degree murder, but to me it’s still like a slap in the face, to be honest, because I need first-degree,” said Jimmy Barwan, 25, of Grand Rapids. “Life without parole.”
Second-degree murder in Michigan can carry a maximum sentence of life in prison, but offenders typically get an opportunity for parole.
“A Black man would not get any chance of parole,” Jalauna Williams, 20, of Grand Rapids, said.
Becker was asked by a reporter if he was trying to send a message to police with the murder charge.
“I’m never big on sending messages with charges,” he replied. “I’m not thinking that Kent County officers or any police officers in general thought they had a license to go out and do something like this. This is not a message. This is just based on the facts.”

If you look at the overall market these days, Nunez is actually not very expensive. If the fee reaches the reported £85 million with incentives, and assuming there will be a reasonable agent fee and signing on fee, and with Nunez being on the reported basic £100,000 per week, he will not cost us more than £500,000 per week over 5 years. Maybe £550,000 per week, if he is a massive success, and reaches all of his personal bonuses in our incentivised wage system.
Now, compare that to Mbappe's £1.4 million per week at PSG, or to Haaland's £1 million per week at Man City, and you can see why we are so good in the transfer market ...
You're right that he's not expensive compared to those other two, but given that he's likely to become our record transfer, he's still really expensive!
It's been well-known for a long time that centre-forwards are generally the most expensive players (as your examples show.) As a club, we've instead gone down the route of taking wide players or attacking midfielders and making them our main goalscorers or no 9's.
That's why signing Darwin Nunez is quite the change in policy for us. Our brains trust is still there, and knows the rules about CF's being expensive, but we've decided to go for it anyway.
To me, that says two things: first, we're rich enough and stable enough to do this anyway, and second, this guy is the one we believe it's worth breaking the rules for. Previously, we've broken the rules on Alisson and van Dijk (you don't spend that much on keepers and defenders - Kepa and Maguire show why this rule generally holds true.) I'm quite keen to see if Nunez can be as transformational as those two have been for us!

When Michelle Millben served as a White House adviser and Congressional liaison for President Obama, the idea of finding time for quiet reflection often seemed, in a word, ludicrous.
She was working almost around the clock, managing relations between the White House and lawmakers in the final years of the Administration.
But Michelle, a practicing minister and professional musician as well as a professional in politics and law—recognized that all the sound and stimulation was unsustainable. She knew she needed time for reflection in silence in order to maintain her energy, find clarity, and make the right decisions.
So, she relied on a simple but unconventional strategy: She scheduled tiny increments of quiet time in her day.
Today, as the founder and CEO of an educational startup targeted to kids, Michelle continues to work to guard the silent sanctuaries in her calendar. For years now, Michelle has used a spreadsheet as a “reality check” to see when she might find pockets of silence in her day. Each cell typically represents a 15-minute increment that spans somewhere between 5am to 10 p.m. She lists first what she has to do—her primary professional obligations, regular calls with her mom, and meals—then lists a bit of what she wants to do as well, like seeing friends. Then, she examines her schedule, and invariably finds that she does, in fact, have available pockets of time for quiet. She marks some of these times in the calendar. For example, most mornings, she schedules a little time to be in silence before she sets about her day. This time preserves her natural “morning mindset”—free of the inputs of other minds.
The word “spreadsheet” doesn’t typically evoke feelings of quiet serenity. But, for Michelle, it’s been one useful tool to demarcate her sanctuaries.
When we asked Michelle about the importance of this practice of safeguarding silence to her professional success, she paused, took a deep breath, and closed her eyes.
“It’s my own little force field,” she said.
Over the course of dozens of interviews with leaders in business, politics, science, and the arts for our book Golden: The Power of Silence in a World of Noise, we’ve heard about the importance of creating these quiet sanctuaries for health, cognition, and creativity. We’ve discovered a range of strategies for finding time and space for quiet in the midst of a busy schedule.
Here are three ideas to consider.
Schedule a time to do nothing—and then protect it
The former US Secretary of State George Schultz, during his time in office, would block off one hour per week for absolutely no meetings or other commitments. He scheduled this period to just sit and think about whatever would come to him, with nothing but a pen and paper. He’d tell his assistant to hold all his calls, unless one of two people called: “my wife or the President.” Why did Schultz defend this time so zealously? It was the only period of time when he could get beyond the crises of the day and think strategically. It was when his best ideas emerged. George Schultz’s experience, like Michelle Millben’s, underscores a simple but rarely-recognized fact: We can safeguard silent time—just like any other important appointment. This doesn’t mean we have to have a practice of meditation. Schultz, for example, just sat there and pondered what came to his mind. You can make time to simply be in silence.
Find micro-moments in your daily routine
Aaron Maniam is a widely-recognized innovator on e-governance issues and a senior government official in Singapore. He’s also an award-winning poet. While Aaron is immersed in a high-volume professional life, he honors his need for quiet through simple day-to-day practices. “I’m a big believer—whenever I can remember—in taking one deep breath before I do anything,” he told us. “Whether that’s opening the door, standing up to leave the room, turning on the tap for some water, or turning on or off the lights—just one deep breath.” He adds: “And it takes nothing—like two or three seconds.” Aaron applies the practice throughout his workday. “Before I start a new document, before I read a new email—one deep breath—and then I continue.” This effort can be intuitive: just stop to pause in silence in moments of transition. But you can also look at your daily schedule in the morning, making mental note of times when you might find brief moments of quiet. Even if these silences are fleeting, see if you can give them your fullest attention. Like Aaron, see if you can make time for silence in the spaces in between all the content of your life.
Try not talking for just one day
Gandhi had a little-known practice for managing the noise in his life. Every Monday, he observed a “day of silence.” He didn’t speak a word. While he didn’t spend the whole day alone in meditation (he sometimes saw colleagues and even attended conferences), he abstained from offering opinions or making decisions. It was a ritual that helped him to stay centered and to clarify what was really important. “It has often occurred to me,” Gandhi wrote late in his life, “that a seeker after truth has to be silent.” Take inspiration from Gandhi and see if you can schedule just one day to be silent. If the responsibilities of your work or childcare obligations make a wordless day impossible, see if you can set aside just three or four hours. The key to getting started is simple: check-in with the people around you who will be most affected. Tell them why a silent day matters to you. Describe your plan. See if they have any questions, and find agreement on the ground rules—like, for example, under what circumstances you can be interrupted. Again, finding silence can require scheduling and planning.
The world is noisier than it’s ever been—not just among our individual experiences but also on our screens. But silence is, thankfully, still accessible. We just need to be proactive and creative in order to find it.

A Bozeman resident summited Mount Everest in May as part of the first all-Black climbing team.
Manoah Ainuu, who is a sponsored climber for the North Face, was part of Full Circle Everest, an all-Black climbing team. Seven members of the team, plus eight Nepali guides, summited on May 12.
Ainuu, who was born in Compton, California, but moved to Spokane when he was 9, now lives in Bozeman. His parents own the popular Queen of Sheba restaurant in Spokane's Flour Mill.
Prior to the successful summit, 10 Black people had summited the world’s tallest peak while more than 6,000 people have summited the 29,032-foot Himalayan mountain. The recent feat shows the continued diversification of a historically white activity, Ainuu said.
People are also reading…
Ainuu summited at 1:34 a.m. and spent about 15 minutes on the summit. The moon was out and he could see surrounding peaks clearly. The climb itself, he said, felt “easy” after years of hiking and climbing.
“The days aren’t too long. I don’t think there are any days over 3,000 feet,” he said of the guided expedition. “The unknown to me was altitude. The highest I’d been before was Mount Rainier.”
His path to the top of the world was not the typical American climbing story.
His mother is a first-generation immigrant from Ethiopia. His first experience with outdoor sports was skiing at California’s Big Bear resort where his dad Layne would take him once a year.
“They were young. They loved being out there in the snow,” said Layne Ainuu of Manoah and his sister. “It was different than being in the heat and sun (of Compton). They’ve always loved the outdoors.”
When Ainuu was 9, Layne got a job at the medical laboratory PAML and the family moved to Spokane. That was a culture shock for Ainuu.
“I was the only dark-skinned person in my class,” he said.
Ainuu endured a number of racist and discriminatory encounters. Kids in his class would call him ‘manure’ and once while hiking Coeur d’Alene’s Tubbs Hill someone yelled a common racial slur at him. Those experiences, combined with a naturally shy disposition, drew Ainuu to more solitary pursuits.
“Moving to Spokane was really good,” he said, despite the discrimination. “It’s kind of what jump-started my experience in the outdoors.
“I never liked being around crowds. Climbing and skiing were a way to move fast and enjoy myself.”
As a student at Central Valley High School, Ainuu would spend as much of the winter as possible skiing at Schweitzer. During his junior year of high school, a friend took him rock climbing in Post Falls. While he was terrified of heights (“I even hated roller coasters”) he got hooked on the vertical activity.
“He just loved it. He hung out with some really good kids,” Layne said. “We just encouraged him. We loved that he liked to go outdoors and climb.”
After graduating high school, he moved to Bozeman to attend Montana State University. There he skied nonstop and continued to rock climb. In 2017, he started ice climbing at nearby Hyalite Canyon. Ice climbing supplanted skiing as the activity of choice and he poured himself into that sport, eventually meeting Fred Campbell, a Black climber from Seattle. The two hit it off.
In 2019, Ainuu became a sponsored athlete for the North Face, although he still worked two part-time jobs. Last spring, he became a full-time athlete for the outdoor apparel company. Layne said when his son signed with the North Face he told him he was happy for him “as long as you don’t climb Mount Everest.”
Layne was to be disappointed.
The dream of an all-Black team was born while ice climbing in Ouray, Colorado, in 2019. Ainuu was there as was Campbell and another Black climber, Phil Henderson. The three looked at each other and realized that there were “three guys with dreads.”
From there, the idea of an all-Black Everest expedition was born. Everest was first climbed in 1953, but a Black climber didn’t summit until Sibusiso Vilano did so in 2003. The team went to Nepal in mid-January and taught at the Khumbu Climbing Center, which is dedicated to teaching Nepali men and women technical climbing skills that can then be used to get jobs guiding.
The team returned to Nepal in April and started trekking to Everest base camp. Ainuu was joined by his wife Rachel for the trek in. She is also from Spokane and did not summit Everest.
The successful summit on May 12 garnered international headlines. Ainuu just wrapped up a trip to New York doing interviews and promotional work for the North Face. Ainuu hopes that his example – and others’ – can help pave the way for a new generation of Black outdoor enthusiasts.
“That’s why all this stuff is important,” he said. | https://billingsgazette.com/news/state-and-regional/bozeman-resident-summits-mount-everest-as-part-of-first-all-black-expedition/article_313aedd2-e820-11ec-aeec-733506087a79.html | 2022-06-10T21:59:25Z | https://billingsgazette.com/news/state-and-regional/bozeman-resident-summits-mount-everest-as-part-of-first-all-black-expedition/article_313aedd2-e820-11ec-aeec-733506087a79.html | false | 4 |

HARRISBURG – Several Pennsylvania senators yesterday (Wednesday) joined members of the No P3 Bridge Tolls Coalition to voice opposition to the Wolf administration’s plan to toll interstate bridges in Pennsylvania, beginning with the following nine bridges:
- I-80 Canoe Creek Bridges (Clarion County).
- I-80 North Fork Bridges Project (Jefferson County).
- I-78 Lenhartsville Bridge Replacement Project (Berks County).
- I-79 Widening, Bridges and Bridgeville Interchange Reconfiguration (Allegheny County).
- I-80 Nescopeck Creek Bridges (Luzerne County).
- I-80 Over Lehigh River Bridge Project (Luzerne and Carbon counties).
- I-81 Susquehanna Project (Susquehanna County).
- I-83 South Bridge Project (Dauphin County).
- I-95 Girard Point Bridge Improvement Project (Philadelphia County).
The senators said the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation’s (PennDOT) plan proposes tolling to pay for bridge projects and has "received an overwhelming amount of disapproval, including members of the General Assembly, local officials, businesses and Pennsylvania residents."
Sen. Wayne Langerholc Jr. (R-Clearfield), chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee, spoke at the rally.
“It is never acceptable for the hardworking people of Pennsylvania to pay a new tax, fee or toll when gas prices are skyrocketing,” said Langerholc. “The court’s temporary halt reflects the bipartisan arguments in my DRIVE SMART Act, including Senate Bill 382. I will continue to call on Gov. Wolf and PennDOT to compromise with sensible solutions.”
PennDOT’s bridge tolling initiative would cost the average commuter an additional $1,000 per year and was moved through the process without legislative input nor approval.
“The process for adding tolls to interstate bridges was mired in a lack of transparency, citizen input and legislative oversight. It has been a sloppy, closed process that sets the precedent of more tolls in the future,” said Sen. Scott Hutchinson (R-Oil City). “The cost to motorists, communities and employers is too great, as is the power claimed by PennDOT to implement and raise tolls on its own. There are other funding options for bridge maintenance and repairs. This process should be halted and replaced with one that is open and rational.”
Langerholc, Robinson and Hutchinson co-sponsored Senate Bill 382, which reforms the P3 statute and voids PennDOT’s plan. However, Gov. Wolf has stated that he will veto the bill.
"Our roads and bridges absolutely need to be repaired. Thankfully, we already have the funding for these projects through the federal infrastructure bill,” said Sen. Devlin Robinson (R-Pittsburgh). “Instead of soliciting hardworking Pennsylvanians, we must work together to allocate our available resources while being transparent, which is exactly what PennDOT failed to do.”
The Commonwealth Court sided with Cumberland County and several municipalities surrounding the I-83 candidate toll bridge that challenged the plan as unconstitutional and has temporarily halted PennDOT’s entire bridge tolling plan with a preliminary injunction. The court also heard a different case from several municipalities in the southwest surrounding the I-79 candidate toll bridge. | https://www.thecourierexpress.com/the_leader_vindicator/news/local/rally-held-in-harrisburg-to-oppose-bridge-tolling/article_e29a0df0-e74f-11ec-a3b1-67a00ae2e3ed.html | 2022-06-10T21:59:31Z | https://www.thecourierexpress.com/the_leader_vindicator/news/local/rally-held-in-harrisburg-to-oppose-bridge-tolling/article_e29a0df0-e74f-11ec-a3b1-67a00ae2e3ed.html | false | 2 |
The Rams gave Aaron Donald absurd money because there's no one in the NFL like him
Aaron Donald would have reportedly been fine with retirement if the Los Angeles Rams didn’t restructure his contract. While he’s only 31 years old, it wasn’t hard to understand why he’d feel that way.
In eight years as a pro he’d been a first-team All-Pro seven times. He was 2014’s defensive rookie of the year and has won defensive player of the year honors three times. He’s ranked among the top five vote getters in DPOY consideration every year since his debut.
So with a Lombardi Trophy secure and nearly $100 million in career earnings on his ledger, riding into a life where his Sundays are no longer filled with double- and triple-teams made sense. But the Rams, eager to defend their world championship and armed with a remarkable disdain for both the salary cap and traditional, draft-heavy roster-building strategies, didn’t like that idea.
Donald will reportedly become the first defensive player and non-quarterback to make more than $30 million annually thanks to his reported contract restructuring. This wasn’t a move that came with the typical caveat of adding extra years to the end of his deal to ensure he’ll remain a Ram once the six-year extension he signed expires after the 2024 season. This was simply an eight-figure commendation for a job well done — a plea to please return, no matter how delightful retirement may seem. It includes $65 million guaranteed for the next two seasons and a 2024 option — also guaranteed — for another $30 million.
It’s ridiculous. And it makes sense.
There’s arguably no defensive player that has a bigger play-to-play impact than Donald. He is an ace pass rusher from a position that doesn’t typically rack up double-digit sacks. He’s a gap-penetrating run stopper who averages 19 tackles for loss — not sacks, just tackles behind the line of scrimmage — per season. He’s played at least 84 percent of the Rams’ defensive snaps in each of the last four seasons and at 3,746 snaps in that stretch, has played more than other All-Pro standouts like TJ Watt (3,450), Myles Garrett (3,181), or comparable interior pass rushing Pro Bowler Chris Jones (2,740).
Which must be exhausting, considering how damn often he’s double-teamed.
Donald faced at least two blockers on nearly two-thirds of his snaps and he still got to the quarterback better than one in four times overall. He beat those double-teams 23.1 percent of the time, which would rank eighth among all pass rushers — both inside and long the edge — in 2021 if we’re just counting the times he was outnumbered. His overall 26 percent pass rush win rate was a full five points higher than Jones, who clocked in at second-best among defensive tackles.
This is how Donald affects the game even when he’s not able to breach the line of scrimmage. He’s held at bay nearly 75 percent of the time, but the bulk of those quiet downs are the result of opposing offenses dedicating extra resources to shut him off. That leaves room for the linemen around him to gnash their way through one-on-one reps.
As a result, the Rams have ranked outside the top 10 in defensive DVOA just once since 2016. Pass rushers like Leonard Floyd, Von Miller, Dante Fowler, a 33-year-old Clay Matthews, Matt Longacre, Connor Barwin and William Hayes have all put up big numbers while swimming in Donald’s wake.
Unsurprisingly, both traditional and advanced stats absolutely love him.
While there’s a reasonable concern about a dip in his level of play now that he’s in his 30s, there’s reason to believe he’ll age gracefully. He’s only missed two regular season games in eight years as a pro. His 1,041 regular season snaps in 2021 were a career high, then followed by 221 more in the postseason. He looked as fresh as ever for that final snap, too — it was his pressure of Joe Burrow that sealed Super Bowl 56.
The Rams’ raise also has the added benefit of forcing other teams to think like them. Los Angeles committed to a stellar player but also gave him a reported $95 million in fully guaranteed money over the next three years — an extension type we hadn’t really seen for anyone other than quarterbacks and even then, only really for Kirk Cousins and Deshaun Watson. That’s a major precedent pending free agents will point to moving forward.
Outliers like this count, especially at superstar positions. The Cardinals gave DeAndre Hopkins an extension in 2020 that broke the curve for paying wide receivers and utterly thrashed the wideout market. In a league where superstar contracts rely on being the highest-paid player at the position, Arizona gave Hopkins an annual average extension value of $27.5 million in a league where second place made $22 million. The ripples from that deal ultimately contributed to the trades that sent Davante Adams and Tyreek Hill to new teams and lucrative new contracts and created a world where Christian Kirk can be deemed worthy of a four-year, $72 million pact.
Donald’s unique blend of skills and accolades will make comparisons difficult, but several agents across the league will use Monday’s deal as the template for their opening salvos going forward. This is what Nick Bosa’s team will try to leverage when hammering out a post-rookie extension with the 49es. It’s kind of deal Micah Parsons’ team could use to hold Jerry Jones’ feet to the fire two years from now.
We can’t tell what exactly the leaguewide impact of the $95 million in guarantees Donald is slated to earn the next three seasons will be. Right now we only have this deal at face value, which is keeping a first-ballot Hall of Famer in his prime with the only franchise he’s ever known — which is also coming off a Super Bowl victory — through the end of his career. There’s reason enough here for everyone to be happy.
Unless you’re a quarterback in the NFC West or a general manager attempting to work out a contract extension with an established defensive superstar. Then you’re right to be bummed. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2628513231998/the-rams-gave-aaron-donald-absurd-money-because-there-s-no-one-in-the-nfl-like-him | 2022-06-10T22:01:21Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2628513231998/the-rams-gave-aaron-donald-absurd-money-because-there-s-no-one-in-the-nfl-like-him | true | 1 |

SPARTANBURG, S.C. (WSPA) — SC Gov. Henry McMaster is facing one Republican candidate on Tuesday’s primary election. In the Democrat party, Mia McLeod and Joe Cunningham are fighting for a chance to become the next governor in the general election this Fall.
Gov. McMaster’s only challenger in the Republican primary is Greenville resident Harrison Musselwhite, colloquially known as “Trucker Bob,” who promises to bring to South Carolina similar legislation as Florida’s Gov. Ron DeSantis, if elected. This is his first election.
McLeod, from Bennettsville, South Carolina, has served as a state senator for District 22 since 2017. She began working as a state representative for District 79 in 2011.
Cunningham served as a U.S. representative for South Carolina for District 1 from 2019 to 2021. He was narrowly defeated by Nancy Mace last year for that position.
Overall, the candidates have raised about $2 million for the election. Incumbent Gov. McMaster has raised about $5 million, according to showmethemoney.com, a nonprofit organization that tracks campaign donations. The other candidates for governor have not raised as much as these four candiates.
Democrat
Sen. Mia McLeod
Sen. McLeod’s political agenda includes expanding Medicaid, increasing the minimum wage, improving education standards and supporting a women’s right to choose birth control options, according to a statement from her campaign.
“I’d like to see every South Carolinian have access to quality health care because I can expand Medicaid on day one. Long term, I’d love to see our state prioritize the needs and challenges of everyday people, working people in particular.
“So many South Carolinians have to work multiple jobs, and that should not be currently our working people are making slave wages in the state $7.25 an hour and having to work multiple jobs just to make ends meet, especially now with gas prices and housing being less affordable and less attainable,” she said.
“As governor, she would like to raise the minimum wage to a living wage of at least $15.
“And just, you know, those are the things that I envision for thriving South Carolina. And we are not there we’re not even close. But those are attainable, and we just need somebody in the governor’s office who cares enough about all South Carolinians to make that a reality for our state.
Education
“When it comes to public education, I’ve seen our Republican majority do everything they can to dismantle and defund public education as we know it. And more recently, Senate voted to send $100 million to private school vouchers. You know, we talk about all you can’t throw money at this issue. The Republicans want people to believe that because they’re throwing money at private schools instead of investing in our public schools, that our public schools are not only crumbling, but they are losing teachers and in droves.
“Teachers are leaving our state for good reason. We’d lied to them over the years. Even this year and at a time when we have unprecedented money. This governor calls it a surplus. I don’t believe it can be a surplus unless and until the basic needs of every South Carolinian have been met. But we do have unprecedented money.
“One of the things that I know we need to do differently as it relates to teachers and keeping them here is we need to listen to them on the front end. They are on the front lines of this fight. And so it makes no sense for a body of 46 senators to make the decisions for them when we know nothing about what they need, they’re telling us what they need to be successful, and they’re saying, yes, we need higher pay,” she said.
“And I’m all for that. I want us to raise their pay to the national average. But they’re also saying we need smaller classrooms, smaller class sizes and less testing and we’ve done nothing to do that to make that a reality for them. Just recently, we actually debated a bill about whether to give elementary school teachers a bathroom break.
“I introduced the Viagra Bill in 2016 when our male-dominated legislature came for our reproductive rights and freedoms. The bill proposed that men who want to get Viagra or other drugs to help them have sex wait for 24 hours and get a sworn statement from their sexual partners detailing their problems.
She says the bill, which failed, was intended to expose the hypocrisy and broadened the conversation about what that looks like when men are on the receiving end of the ridiculousness that they impose on women.
Abortion Rights
“As the Fetal Heartbeat Bill was about to pass here in South Carolina, I, as a sexual assault survivor, understood that they are not only criminalizing women who are seeking abortions, even if they are molested or raped. They were intentional about criminalizing doctors and forcing women to go to our male-dominated sheriff’s departments just to prove that they were eligible to even consider an abortion.
“They call themselves pro-life. But it’s clear they care nothing about the living. They call themselves pro-life. On Tuesdays and on Wednesdays, they’re pro-death, passing firing squad bills to kill those who are incarcerated on death row,” she said.
“My Pro Birth Accountability Act also got national attention because it will require the state of South Carolina to help cover the cost of those mandated births from conception to college. And you know, those are the kinds of things that I will continue to champion as governor, but I will also have veto power to help leverage some of the things that, you know, they won’t get that they keep putting up and prioritizing right now when it comes to legislation that is impacting women and girls in our state.
“If abortion becomes illegal, some women will lose hope and lose their lives because they will take desperate measures to relieve their suffering and to exercise the rights that they should have just by virtue of being women and girls in our state,” she said.
Crime
Sen. Mcleod sponsored the Transparency in Justice Act, which would make hate a crime in SC. She supports a ban on no-knock warrants, police chokeholds. She wants to “demilitarize” the police, decriminalize marijuana, end qualified immunity for cops who kill civilians without justification, and make other critical changes to our outdated criminal justice laws, she said in a campaign statement.
Business Development
“I mean, there’s no shortage of issues here in South Carolina. And the Republicans, including this governor, have been very intentional about increasing the number of South Carolinians who are struggling.
“When I think about the fact that as governor, I get to set the tone and the priorities of our state, and I will prioritize working people to make sure that, you know, I know it won’t happen overnight, but I will continue to fight for a $15 living wage so that South Carolinians can begin to have a fighting chance in this state.
“I will focus on workforce development. Having served on the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce Board for many years before I served, I understand that we’ve only paid lip service to workforce development. So the high-paying jobs that we do have right here in South Carolina aren’t being filled by South Carolina. They’re being filled by out-of-state people who are brought in to take advantage of those high-paying positions.
“And meanwhile, we are pushing South Carolinians back into minimum wage jobs or jobs, or slave wages, as I see it, with very little pay and no protections.
Background
“I come from a rural community in South Carolina. I know the hardships that rural communities face. And I opened satellite offices in every region of our state to make the programs and services that we offer more accessible. So I’ve kind of worked my way into this arena, not intentionally, but just by virtue of seeing the impact that our elected officials have on the lives of every South Carolinian and wanting to do more in that space.
“That has led me to working in the South Carolina House for six years; running for the Senate in 2016, and now serving in the South Carolina Senate for six years, too. I know why I’m in this space and I know that the people of South Carolina need someone who leads with courage and compassion and conviction. And I am that leader,” she said.
“My first taste of politics and being at the statehouse was as a page for then-Representative David Beasley, who later became governor of South Carolina.
“I can’t say that I had an interest at all in serving in the House or Senate. And it’s just ironic that I and I ended up serving in those spaces. But what I can tell you is when I graduated law school and at the University of South Carolina, my first job after law school was working for a Republican attorney general, Charlie Condon, at a time when our state was the number one in the nation for women who are murdered by men as a result of domestic violence.
“I saw the impact that legislation and our legislators have on the needs and the challenges that everyday people face and how they manage those challenges and how they address them. It was very intriguing to me, and I went on to work for our last Democratic governor, Jim Hodges, to direct the state Office of Victim Assistance, managing the Crime Victims Compensation Fund.
Final Thoughts
“I will make good use of our tax dollars by investing in the areas that I know will have a positive impact on all South Carolinians issues like public education and our minimally adequate public education system here. I will invest in public education. I’ll invest in our infrastructure, in health care, expand Medicaid, you know, focus on the issues that impact all of us, like gun violence and the systemic ills when it comes to our criminal justice system and policing reforms and just equal justice, environmental justice

Joe Cunningham
“The first thing I want to do when I become governor is to expand Medicaid. On day one. This is going to provide health care to hundreds of thousands of South Carolinians. It’s going to create 40,000 new jobs in that sector. And it’s also going to provide health care to our uninsured veterans as well, taking care of those who have taken care of us. So that can be done immediately on day one.
Education
“We also want to raise teacher pay by 10% across the board. We have a problem here in South Carolina with our teachers leaving in droves. And it’s a crisis. You know, when one-in-seven teachers left their classroom just last year and it’s because they’re they feel disrespected they that they’re overworked and underpaid and we want to change that. The long-term plan is to get them from $36,000 a year to $50,000 a year, for starting salaries.
“We got to start with putting teachers in the classrooms and keeping them in the classrooms. And I see it as an immediate crisis. Right now. My oldest brother teaches special ed at a public school. He’s taught for over 20 years. He’s a fabulous teacher. And like most other teachers, he’s feeling a little burned out because of this. And this is a common thing when people leave any job. They leave because they feel underappreciated or disrespected. And when our governor wants to keep paying starting teachers in the upper $30,000 a year, with inflation the way it is, they can’t cover their rent.
“I’ve been across the state sitting down and having roundtable discussions with teachers and listening. And what they’re telling me is they can’t afford their rent, they can’t afford groceries, they can’t afford the bills with what they’re being paid right now. And on top of that, you got politicians telling them what to do, and now someone encouraging them to pack pistols instead of pencils and take and be soldiers in the schools.
“We’ve got to pay them more. We gotta appreciate them more. But we also have to look at bringing new people into the profession. I’ve talked about tripling the scholarships for those who are wanting to become teachers from, you know, $3,000 to $9,000, and that’s those are things we need to look at. Paid family leave for teachers as well.
“You know, the state legislature just passed family leave for state employees but not teachers. Teachers have been left behind once again by this governor. And that’s not going to happen because I’m going to be a governor in the future. I to take South Carolina into the future.
Abortion Rights
“I trust women to make these decisions about their own bodies.
“The only thing standing in the way of a total and complete abortion ban, with no exceptions, is my veto pen. That is it. And that’s something that I think voters need to know as they’re heading to the polls.
“Governor McMaster is on the far, far extreme on this issue. And he’s disconnected from South Carolina. He’s the oldest governor in South Carolina’s history. And he’s been in politics literally longer than I’ve been alive. As a result, he’s become disconnected from the voters and the people that he’s supposed to represent.
Gun Control
“We can protect the Second Amendment and have common-sense gun safety measures. These two are not mutually exclusive. Look, I’m a gun owner. I grew up around guns. I’ve got my concealed weapons permit. But I, along with 90% of other Americans, believe that we should have background checks and we should close the Charleston Loophole. But this governor’s solution to this crisis is to do nothing. Our state has the highest crime rate we’ve ever had. After six years of him being in office, where has he taken us? To the very top of the crime rate. That’s why it’s time for a change
“Require background checks for all gun sales, including private sales, online sales, and sales at gun shows. This is the most comprehensive and effective way to ensure only law-abiding citizens get access to firearms. This is a wildly popular position: 84% of Americans support universal background checks, including 77% of Republicans.
Infrastructure
“We’re dead last in roads. We’re 50th in the nation. So you can take your pick, you know, You know, someone told me the other day that we don’t need signs welcoming people into South Carolina when they drive into our state because you can feel it, and that’s no more that’s evident than I-26.
“We want to expand I-26 from North Charleston all the way to North Carolina. And, you know, Governor McMaster vetoed a bill to fix our roads. He vetoed it. We’ve got 745 structurally deficient bridges in our state. 745 structurally deficient bridges! And people got to ask themselves, like, do I know where those are? Did I drive over one today where my kids run across one now? We have got to do better than we’ve been doing.
Renewable Energy Business Development
“Our obligation as parents or grandparents is to pass the environment off to the next generation in as good shape, if not better. We have to have that forward-thinking vision and we got to have a governor who believes in climate change.
“I would love for South Carolina to be the number one manufacturer of electric vehicles, not just the vehicles but the parts and the suppliers and the whole supply chain right here in South Carolina. And you think about where we’re at, you know, in Charleston, we’re going to have the deepest port along the Eastern Seaboard. We have the infrastructure.
“And again, we need to be first, not last. I know Governor McMaster and the legislature would prefer to bribe companies in the coming year by giving a half-billion dollars a year in tax incentives.
Final Thoughts
“We got to expand Medicaid so everybody has access to quality and affordable health care. And we’ve got to start investing more in our roads. And that’s why our proposals to legalize marijuana, legalize sports betting, and then take that tax revenue and pay our teachers more and fix our roads, [will provide for] our vision for the future. And that’s where we want to take South Carolina.
Background
“I worked as an ocean engineer and, and practiced law for a number of years until 2016; when really the political discourse just took a turn for the worse. I knew in my heart that we are better than this. And so I put myself forward to run for Congress in a district that no Democrat had won in 40 years. People thought I was crazy, but I knew that we could have a message that resonated with folks,” he said.
Cunningham introduced The Great American Outdoors Act, permanently funding the Land and Water Conservation Fund, now WCF, which is responsible for acquiring and obtaining green spaces and parks in every one of South Carolina’s 46 counties.

Republican
Harrison Musselwhite (Trucker Bob)
“If you want a governor for South Carolina like Ron DeSantis, that will get things done for the people of South Carolina. On June 14th vote for Harrison and we will get things done for South Carolina together. Short-term plans are very simple, and they’ll begin on day one.
“If the legislature does not do their job, day one, we will be signing three executive orders.
“The first executive order will say this: There will be no unconstitutional federal vaccine mandates in the state of South Carolina.
“Executive order number two: There will be no [Critical Race Theory] or socialist-like indoctrination in the state of South Carolina in our public schools.
“Executive order number three: There will be no smartcards or vaccine passports in the state of South Carolina, period.
“We are immediately going to cut taxes and cut regulations so that just like when President Trump did it in 2017, so that our businesses will be able to thrive and grow and invest in new employees and new materials and new businesses.
Infrastructure
“The corridor of shame from the southern part of I-95 all the way up to the northern part from Georgia to North Carolina. That corridor has been left behind. So what we have to do is we have to, number one, get the people educated. And I’m not just talking about four-year college degrees. I’m talking about technical degrees. Because before you bring in industry.
“Industry has to have the workers. They have to have welders. They have to have pipefitters, they have to have machinery. So we want to work in these areas to expand our technical colleges and then work with businesses.
“Yes, that means giving them tax breaks to come in and invest their resources in South Carolina so that we can help the people in the corridor of shame and no longer call it the corridor of shame.
Business Development
“In fact, where I work at the Donaldson Center is a perfect example. The Donaldson Center was given to Greenville County by the federal government who use to have an Air Force base there. That area sat undeveloped for years, but Greenville expanded grants and different things to help get the welders, the pipe fitters, the machinist, and then small businesses attracted to the Donaldson Center area. And now think about what does Donaldson have? We’ve got Lockheed. We’ve got several big chemical companies that surround there. All of these came in because the county worked with the state.
“They increased opportunities in education, and that brought in the small businesses. So we’ve right here in Greenville, South Carolina, we have the blueprint, and we’re going to put it statewide.
“Let’s start with the roads. Of course, most folks know that I am a CDL, [commercial driver license holder], a certified driver trainer for Dana Companies, and I have traveled 48 of our 50 states.
“And I’ll be honest. South Carolina doesn’t have the worst roads but North Carolina to the north, Georgia to the south, have much better roads that we do. As soon as you leave Georgia on I-95 and come into South Carolina, you know you’re in South Carolina because of the difference in the roads.
“So that would be the first thing. We have over $1,000,000,000 surplus sitting in D.O.T. coffers. It shouldn’t be that way. I understand having a surplus, but that billion dollars should right now be going to fix I-95 from the Georgia border to the North Carolina border. We’re going to force D.O.T. to partner with our communities to get local roads and highways.
Gun Control
“Well, as our next governor. I will stand on the statehouse steps, and when they come to take away our Second Amendment and to take away our guns on behalf of us, we the people of South Carolina, on behalf of our constitutional and God-given rights, I will look them dead in the eye and I will say ‘Gates of hell! No! Go back to where you came from.
Abortion Rights
“We’re going to create a culture of life for the people of South Carolina. We believe that life starts at conception and that comes from Jeremiah. I believe it is Jeremiah [1:5], but according to God’s word, God said he knew you before you were even in the womb. So if he knew you, you existed.
“We believe what God said, that life begins at conception and we will enforce that here in the south, the state of South Carolina. We will protect all lives in the womb and outside the womb.
Health
“We will begin replacing the DHEC (Department of Health and Environmental Control) officials with competent South Carolina patriots who are competent in their profession and who also remember their Hippocratic Oath, and their Hippocratic Oath is this do no harm?
“Well, let me tell you what, DHEC, during COVID, did a lot of harm. And we, the people of South Carolina, are going to hold those corrupt, inept bureaucrats accountable. First of all, they will be losing their jobs.
Background
“In 1980, I worked with my mom when President Reagan was 1980 victorious presidential campaign. In 1981 I escorted my mom to President Reagan’s inaugural ball at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC.
“Ever since then I have been a constitutional conservative Republican. In 1983 I married my childhood sweetheart Sharon Musselwhite, who is also the mother of my seven children. And we’re very blessed to have seven children and five grandchildren. In 1997 we moved our family from Virginia to here to the greatest state in the United States of America, South Carolina, and we began a small business with an $18,000 loan. Within two years we were able to turn that $18,000 into a multimillion-dollar business.
“Unfortunately in 2001 my wife was diagnosed with a fatal lung disease called sarcoidosis. It’s a very wicked disease. She was given two to three years to live by the practicing physicians, and we’re thankful for practicing physicians, don’t get me wrong, but my wife Sharon and myself and our children, we serve the great physician and he had different plans over a period of 11 years.
“He healed my wife. But during that period I had to make a choice. Do I help my wife get better or do I focus on increasing and growing the business? And I made the right choice. I made the eternal choice. We sold the business and we worked on getting Sharon and better.
“And thank God she’s still with us today. She is in very good health. God healed my wife. So in 2012, it was time to get back in the business world. Well, guess what? There was nothing in the business world. The only job left was truck driver, and I did have that talent.
“So you do what you have to do to provide for your family. And that’s what I did. And thank God over the years I’ve been promoted. I am now the lead driver trainer for Dana Transport, which is the second largest chemical transporter in the nation. And I’m [managing] three states. I’m over South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia. We have over 200 drivers just in those three states underneath me.
Trucker Bob
“Bob is a real life handle. I was given that handle in Arizona. I was at a truck stop there and they asked me my name. I said Harrison Musselwhite, and they said, ‘Man, you’re Bob.’
“So ever since then, that was several years ago, that has been my handle. Trucker Bob.
Final Thoughts
“If the folks like [Florida Gov.] Ron DeSantis, I want you all to think about what Ron DeSantis is getting done for the people of Florida. If you like Ron DeSantis, you’re going to love Governor Harrison. Because everything he’s doing and Florida, we will work with the legislature and legislature and get it done right here in South Carolina.

Selene Galas is covering Pastor Art in a Calgary court for Rebel News
Pastor Artur Pawlowski is in court for feeding the homeless in violation of lockdown orders, and Selene Galas has been covering the story. She joins Sheila Gunn Reid on this week's episode of The Gunn Show.
This is a free episode of The Gunn Show with Sheila Gunn Reid. To see new, ad-free episodes, which air every Friday at 9 p.m. ET/7 p.m. MT, become a subscriber to RebelNews+.
This episode originally aired on June 8, 2022.
Pastor Artur Pawlowski is back in a courtroom in Calgary this week to answer to a charge of hosting an illegal gathering in violation of COVID restriction in December 2020.
His illegal gathering? An open-air soup kitchen and Christmas festival that was part of the weekly anti-lockdown protest that still takes place to this day on the plaza in front of city hall.
Art and his compatriots fed the homeless steak and other hot food and drinks, and in conjunction with other churches, organized a giveaway of warm clothes and Christmas presents for the downtrodden and down on their luck in Calgary, a needed service after the city limited shelter space to stop the spread of COVID.
The act of kindness and de-stigmatization was met with a ticket from the city, where a peace officer testified that Art (gasp!) hugged and shook hands with the homeless and that his gathering was not allowed because these people who HAVE NO HOMES were not all from the same household.

I was in the courtroom Tuesday with one of our newer Rebels, Selene Galas (@Selenecxliv), who is learning the ropes of courtroom reporting. It's not as exciting as I make it seem but it's important work to be the eyes and ears of the public, especially when the mainstream media doesn't show up — not that you could trust them anyway.
Selene joins on the show this week to discuss the trial of Pastor Art and her reflections of her time covering the convoy to Ottawa and the blockade in Coutts.

A new Sephora at Kohl's celebrated its grand opening Friday in Tulsa.
The event at 9595 S. Delaware Ave. was part of a nationwide expansion by department store chain. Sephora at Kohl's total of 600 stores puts the partnership on track to meet its 850-store goal by 2023.
The Kohl's-Sephora partnership also recently was christened in Owasso and at another Tulsa location, 11011 E. 71st St.
"We’re thrilled to be bringing Sephora at Kohl’s closer to millions more of our customers nationwide through this 400-store expansion," Doug Howe, Kohl's chief merchandising officer said in a statement.
"The quick and vast rollout of Sephora at Kohl’s is a testament to how much we believe in this partnership and making prestige beauty more accessible to people everywhere. We’re excited to grow and bring this elevated beauty experience to more of Kohl’s existing and new customers this year.”
Introduced in the fall of 2021, Sephora at Kohl’s features a 2,500-square-foot layout that focuses on makeup, skincare, hair, and fragrance brands, as well as innovations in clean beauty and self-care. Sephora-trained advisors offer personalized beauty consultations and assistance with finding products.

Wisconsin-based Kohl's said earlier this week that it had entered into a three-week exclusive negotiation period for a potential sale with Franchise Group, a holding company which owns The Vitamin Shoppe and other retail brands.
Franchise Group has proposed to buy Kohl's for $60 a share, and the deal would value Kohl's at around $8 billion, The Wall Street Journal reported.

This Popular Condiment Is Facing an "Unprecedented" Shortage, Makers Warn
It might already be out of stock at your local grocery store.
Fourth of July is right around the corner, which means many of us will be stocking the fridge with a healthy amount of burgers, hot dogs, and, of course, condiments. Getting ready to host an event or barbecue is a big task, and you'll certainly want to be prepared. But one popular meal add-on is going to be especially hard to find soon, so you'll want to grab any that you can. Read on to find out what condiment is facing a major shortage.
READ THIS NEXT: This Cooking Staple Could Disappear From Shelves, Starting This Month.
Summer shortages are on the horizon.
It's not only condiments that may be in short supply. If your plans for the Fourth include some homemade desserts or sweet tea, you should be aware that sugar may be tough to come by. According to a statement from the Indian government, sugar exports will be limited to 10 million metric tons during the current marketing season. Restrictions went into effect June 1 and will continue through September, as reported by Insider.
As opposed to those pesky supply chain issues, the Indian government is primarily concerned about food inflation and reserving its domestic sugar supply, especially during the country's festival season.
The current condiment, on the other hand, appeals to different taste buds—and those who like to add a little bit of spice should brace themselves for big news.
You might have to use a different hot sauce this summer.
A major shortage of Sriracha, a popular hot sauce brand, is anticipated this summer, according to the manufacturer, Huy Fong Inc.
"Unfortunately, we can confirm that there is an unprecedented shortage of our products," the company said in a statement to CNN. In addition to Sriracha, Huy Fong will stop the production of two other sauces, Chili Garlic and Sambal Oelek.
Orders placed by distributors on or after April 19, 2022, will not be scheduled until after Labor Day, on Sept. 6, as per to a letter sent to distributors on April 10. Those who placed orders and did not receive confirmation will also be on hold until Sept. 2022. In the letter, Huy Fong said it had advised customers of the shortage dating back to July 24, 2020. At that time, Huy Fong also urged distributors not to "promise" customers they would be able to secure products unless the store had product in stock.
"We understand that this may cause issues," the April letter reads. "However, during this time we will not accept any new orders to be placed before September as we will not have enough inventory to fulfill your order."
RELATED: For more up-to-date information, sign up for our daily newsletter.
The company said the situation is out of its control.
The production halt primarily has to do with the weather affecting the quality of the chili peppers, according to the April letter. As chili peppers are the crucial ingredient in all three of Huy Fong's products, it's impossible for production to continue. The peppers are produced in Mexico, the company told Axios, which is currently experiencing a drought.
"We are still endeavoring to resolve this issue that has been caused by several spiraling events, including unexpected crop failure from the spring chili harvest," Huy Fong said in a statement to CNN.
Sriracha lovers are not happy, and they're vocal about it.
The hot sauce product is exceedingly popular and maintains a dedicated consumer following. Sriracha lovers have stormed Twitter with outcry about the shortage, with some colorful commentators dubbing the situation a "crisis," asking how they will survive, and others simply urging shoppers to stock up.
But while Sriracha will be in limited supply, customers can take some comfort in knowing that the beloved hot sauce will keep in the refrigerator for two years—even after it's opened. When kept in the pantry, expect the flavor to last six to nine months, Insider reported. Just finished your last bottle? You can also search the web for different ways to make your own version of Sriracha at home.
Whether you manage to snag a few extra Sriracha bottles from your local grocery store, choose a different hot sauce brand, or experiment with different recipes, Sriracha fans will have to make do until Huy Fong is able to resume production. "We hope for a fruitful fall season and thank our customers for their patience and continued support during this difficult time," the company said (via CNN).

(NEXSTAR) – On Friday, pop star Justin Bieber announced he has Ramsay Hunt syndrome. You may be unfamiliar with the syndrome, but you likely do know of chickenpox, which is caused by the same virus.
The Mayo Clinic explains the condition, caused by a herpes virus, “occurs when a shingles outbreak affects the facial nerve near one of your ears.” The syndrome can cause not only a shingles rash but also facial paralysis and hearing loss.
Bieber, 28, said in an Instagram video on Friday that he’s currently unable to move half of his face. The singer said he’s canceling tour dates for this reason.
“It is from this virus that attacks the nerve in my ear and my facial nerves and has caused my face to have paralysis,” said Bieber. “As you can see this eye is not blinking. I can’t smile on this side of my face; this nostril will not move. So there’s full paralysis on this side of my face.”
The condition is somewhat similar to the better-known Bell’s palsy, though Ramsay Hunt’s effects are more severe.
According to research published by Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry, Ramsay Hunt recovery is much harder than recovery from Bell’s palsy (facial paralysis without a rash). Patients may also not recover completely, researchers write.
Other Ramsay Hunt symptoms include tinnitus, nausea, vertigo and involuntary eye movements.
“This is pretty serious, as you can see. I wish this wasn’t the case, but, obviously, my body’s telling me I’ve got to slow down,” Bieber explained Friday. “I hope you guys understand. I’ll be using this time to just rest and relax and get back to a hundred percent so that I can do what I was born to do.”
Bieber says he’s doing facial exercises and has “hope” that he’ll recover. | https://www.fourstateshomepage.com/news/national/what-is-ramsay-hunt-syndrome/ | 2022-06-10T22:18:26Z | https://www.fourstateshomepage.com/news/national/what-is-ramsay-hunt-syndrome/ | false | 29 |

PRAGUE (AP) — A record amount of cocaine was seized in a shipment for supermarkets in the Czech Republic, police said Friday.
They said 840 kilograms (1,852 pounds) of cocaine were discovered in cardboard boxes with bananas by employees in supermarkets in northern towns of Jicin and Rychnov nad Kneznou. Officers are now searching other stores in the country where banana boxes from the same shipment abroad were delivered.
Police said they were cooperating on the case with their counterparts from other unspecified countries.
Jakub Frydrych, the head of the police anti-narcotics unit, told the Czech public radio the cocaine likely originated in Central America.
The street value of the drug is estimated to be more than 2 billion Czech crowns ($86 million).
In a similar case in 2015, over 100 kilograms (220 pounds) of cocaine was discovered in a Prague supermarket. In 1999, police seized 117 kilograms (258 pounds) of cocaine in a warehouse north of Prague packed among dry fruit. | https://www.wsav.com/news/international-news/czechs-seize-record-amount-of-cocaine-in-banana-shipment/ | 2022-06-10T22:19:24Z | https://www.wsav.com/news/international-news/czechs-seize-record-amount-of-cocaine-in-banana-shipment/ | false | null |
“Punch it, Chewie!”
One of the most popular overlays at Disneyland Resort will soon jump into hyperspace, so Guests better run to experience it before it’s too late.
Hyperspace Mountain opened on April 29 to be a part of the Disneyland After Dark: Star Wars Nite events, held at Disneyland Park on May 3 and 4, during May the Fourth celebrations, and on May 27, during this year’s Star Wars Celebration, which took place at the Anaheim Convention Center. At first, it was stated that Guests would be able to experience the attraction “for a limited time,” but no official date had been released.
However, the attraction recently got a possible closing date, traveling to a galaxy far, far away for an indefinite time. The official Disneyland website shows the attraction will no longer be available on July 5, a little over two months after the attraction opened.
While looking for information on Space Mountain, the original theming of this beloved attraction, the official Disneyland website states the attraction “is currently unavailable as it has been transformed into Hyperspace Mountain. Space Mountain is expected to reopen on July 5, 2022.”
With this information, fans of the Star Wars franchise have a little less than a month to join the Rebel Alliance on a dangerous and exciting mission aboard a Rebel X-wing.
More on Hyperspace Mountain
Guests visiting Disneyland can experience Hyperspace Mountain, a Star Wars overlay of the beloved Space Mountain attraction, for a limited time. The official Disneyland website describes the attraction as follows:
Rocket Right onto the Battlefield
Fend off crossfire from swarms of Rebel X-wing starfighters and Imperial TIE fighters amidst an intergalactic onslaught!
Your mission begins with a briefing from Admiral Ackbar—the Rebel Alliance needs help flying reconnaissance vessels to survey an Imperial Star Destroyer. After being escorted into hyperspace by an elite X-wing squadron, you arrive only to find the Star Destroyer waiting with a swarm of TIE fighters—it’s a trap!
As Rebel forces valiantly battle Imperial vessels, you’re caught up in a barrage of blaster fire. Maneuvers become more intense as you join the Rebel squadron for one final, courageous assault on the menacing Star Destroyer. It’s an epic Star Wars combat scene taken straight from the films—but hurry, Hyperspace Mountain is only open for a limited time!

Liam Trevaskis leads by example to end Lancashire’s unbeaten record
Durham scraped home with three balls to spare while Gloucestershire produced a remarkable fightback to beat Sussex.
Liam Trevaskis produced late heroics to guide Durham to a final-over victory against previously unbeaten Lancashire in their Vitality Blast clash.
The home side appeared to be on the verge of their fourth successive defeat in their chase of 131 amid outstanding bowling from Richard Gleeson but Trevaskis blasted 16 runs from seven balls to steer his side over the line with three balls to spare.
Lancashire had produced an under-par effort with the bat, mustering only 130 from their 20 overs.
Gloucestershire’s bowlers produced a remarkable fightback at Hove to beat Sussex by four runs in a last-over thriller.
The visitors took eight wickets for 23 runs in six overs to move up to third in the South Group.
It was a spectacular collapse by Sussex, who appeared on course for a routine victory when they reached 118 for three in the 14th over and were cruising towards their target of 146.
Yorkshire opened the North Group table up with a 10-wicket win over Birmingham at Edgbaston.
The Bears chose to bat but were bowled out for 101 with 19 balls unused. Yorkshire then eased to 106 without loss in 12.5 overs as Adam Lyth struck 58 from 45 balls and Dawid Malan 38 off 33.
Nottinghamshire kept their campaign alive with a convincing five-wicket win at Leicestershire.
Having bowled out the home side for a dismal 123 in 19 overs, the Outlaws romped home with 6.4 overs to spare after opener Alex Hales had launchedtheir reply by smashing 44 off 16 balls.
Ben Duckett’s unbeaten 44 completed the victory and inflicted a third successive defeat on the Foxes.
Hampshire made it four wins from four with a nine-run victory over Glamorgan in Cardiff.
Having been put into bat, the visitors eked out 134 for four in the face of a strong Glamorgan bowling display.
But, on a tricky surface, the hosts never really got on top of the chase. Some big blows from Dan Douthwaite at the back end gave them hope but he became the fourth victim of Brad Wheal’s career-best five for 38 in the final over.
Derbyshire made it back-to-back wins in the space of 24 hours to boost their qualification hopes with a 39-run success over struggling Worcestershire.
Shan Masood continued his excellent run of form in all competitions with a fine 65 in a total of 168 for seven after the Falcons were put in to bat.
The Rapids looked in control when they reached 92 for three in the 12th over only to collapse, losing six wickets for 27 runs and coming up well short.
Jordan Cox smashed a career-best 94 to lead South Group strugglers Kent to a surprise 32-run victory over Somerset at Taunton.
The visitors posted 202 for five after losing the toss and Somerset could only manage 170 for nine in reply.
Feroze Khushi brought his second XI form to Essex as he blazed a first Vitality Blast half-century to help his side to a 61-run victory over Middlesex.
Paul Walter also racked up 58 as the Eagles made 186 for six before MattCritchley took his Blast tally to 12 wickets with three for 22 and Sam Cookreturned a magnificent three for 18 as the visitors were bowled out for 125 toextend their losing run to five matches.

The ah-ha moment when doctors realized first US patient in global outbreak had monkeypox: ‘It wasn’t initially on our radar screen’
By Jacqueline Howard, CNN
When Dr. Nesli Basgoz met her patient for the first time in May, he had been admitted to Massachusetts General Hospital with symptoms that were quite common for many infectious diseases — fever, rash, fatigue, sweats.
Basgoz and her colleagues at the hospital tested the patient for chickenpox. He was negative. They tested him for syphilis. He was negative.
The doctors still treated him with antibiotics and antivirals that are used for common infections while they waited for his various test results — but his condition did not improve in response to those treatments.
As days progressed, Basgoz noticed that the patient’s rash changed in appearance. At that moment, she knew he did not have a common illness.
Her mind raced, putting together pieces of a medical puzzle.
“Some of the skin lesions, called the pustules, started to have indentations in them, and that’s a feature that can be seen in pox viruses,” Basgoz, the hospital’s associate chief and clinical director of the infectious disease division, told CNN.
“The combination of not improving when he was treated for common things; the results of testing for common infections coming back negative; and some change in the appearance of the rash — all sort of raised the possibility that this could be a pox virus,” she said. That was her ah-ha moment.
The patient, whom Basgoz described as “a relatively young and healthy man,” had traveled to Canada before becoming the first person to be confirmed with monkeypox in the United States this year as part of an ongoing global outbreak. So far in the outbreak, global health officials have identified more than 1,200 patients across at least 31 countries, as of Friday.
Why symptoms in current outbreak appear more subtle
Monkeypox “wasn’t initially on our radar screen,” Basgoz said about treating the first US case.
As the monkeypox virus spreads, some doctors and public health officials have noticed that patients are presenting with milder symptoms that could be mistaken for other illnesses. Two factors could help explain why the disease sometimes presents in more subtle ways, Basgoz said.
“One major reason is that the main strain associated with this outbreak is the West African clade, and that’s associated with milder disease,” Basgoz said, compared with the other, which is the Central African clade.
“The second is so far, of the patients who are reported, there are a large number of relatively young and otherwise healthy persons,” Basgoz said. “When you see an infection in relatively young and otherwise healthy people, it is often milder than when you see it in people who are older or who have other medical conditions.”
Monkeypox spreads through direct contact with body fluids or sores on the body of someone who has been infected, or through direct contact with materials that have touched body fluids or sores, such as bed sheets or clothing, according to the CDC.
The spread of monkeypox through small virus particles that linger in the air “has not been reported,” the CDC said in guidance posted Thursday. It may spread through “saliva or respiratory secretions” during face-to-face contact, but these secretions “drop out of the air quickly,” and this method of transmission seems uncommon.
The CDC has said that the risk to the general public remains low, but health care providers should be alert for patients who have rash or illness consistent with monkeypox.
“Historically, people with monkeypox report flu-like symptoms, such as fever, body aches and swollen glands, before a characteristic often diffused rash appears on multiple sites of the body, often on the face, arms and hands. But during the current outbreak, some patients have developed a localized rash, often around the genitals or anus, before they experienced any flu-like symptoms at all, and some have not even developed such flu-like symptoms,” CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said in a news briefing Friday.
She added that for some patients, the rash doesn’t always extend beyond its initial site to other parts of the body, or might appear on only a few sites of the body.
“This could look like a whole lot of different things — the fevers, chills, body aches, headaches that we’ve talked about with Covid-19 also can occur as the prodrome, the first signs or symptoms, of monkeypox,” Dr. Christina Wojewada, chair of the College of American Pathologists’ microbiology committee and director of clinical microbiology at the University of Vermont Medical Center, who was not involved in the CDC’s guidance, told CNN.
“The lesions themselves can get confused with the lesions of herpes or chickenpox, or syphilis, and so sexually transmitted disease clinics might be seeing more of these patients for that, because they can present similarly to those diseases,” Wojewada said. “So, I think it’s important both for patients and clinicians to give a full history of your potential exposures so that, if appropriate, testing for monkeypox can be performed.”
Increased monkeypox testing needed
The 45 monkeypox patients who have been identified in the United States so far are located across 15 states and Washington, DC, and the virus does not seem to be spreading in “one particular area” of the country, a CDC official said in Friday’s news briefing.
“We don’t have an area identified right now in the United States that seems to be having an urban outbreak, like what has been reported for Montreal and some other places. We don’t have one area where it looks like there’s a lot of community transmission happening,” Dr. Jennifer McQuiston, a veterinarian and deputy director of the CDC’s Division of High Consequence Pathogens and Pathology, said in the briefing.
Most cases in the United States — 75% or more — are still reporting that they may have been exposed to the virus during international travel, McQuiston said. Some other patients have reported contact with a known monkeypox case, and they were identified through contact tracing.
But there are also some patients who are not sure how they acquired monkeypox, “and that might suggest that there is some community transmission happening at levels that are below what’s coming to the attention of public health officials,” McQuiston said.
“There are just these occasional sparse cases that are not sure how they acquired monkeypox,” she added. “In all likelihood, they acquired it from someone who recently traveled but they’re just not sure — and that’s the situation we’re in in the US right now. This could change. We could start to have community spread, and I think that we need to make sure our testing is increasing and that we’re able to catch it when it happens.”
CDC researchers and health officials published a report last week describing how among 17 cases described in the report across nine states, all experienced rash as a sign of illness and most of the cases have been diagnosed in men who identify as gay, bisexual or men who have sex with men (MSM).
“The high proportion of initial cases diagnosed in this outbreak in persons who identify as gay, bisexual, or other MSM, might simply reflect an early introduction of monkeypox into interconnected social networks; this finding might also reflect ascertainment bias because of strong, established relationships between some MSM and clinical providers with robust STI services and broad knowledge of infectious diseases, including uncommon conditions,” CDC researchers wrote in the report.
“However, infections are often not confined to certain geographies or population groups; because close physical contact with infected persons can spread monkeypox, any person, irrespective of gender or sexual orientation, can acquire and spread monkeypox.”
Basgoz, of Massachusetts General Hospital, hopes that while people are aware of what monkeypox symptoms can look like in this outbreak — they understand the risk is low and do not stigmatize the disease.
After all, viruses are all around us, she said, and trillions of microorganisms even live in our bodies without us realizing it, with viruses outnumbering bacteria.
“They’re everywhere,” Basgoz said. “Most of them don’t make us ill, but occasionally they do, and so, I really like to put this in context for people.”

Gov. Lee signs executive order to enhance school safety, will not consider gun reform
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Monday morning, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signed an executive order aimed at enhancing school safety following the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas that killed 19 students and two adults .
“Our schools should be a safe place that we want our kids, and the teachers, and the staff to know that they can go to school and come back safely,” Governor Lee said.
Executive Order 97 requires things like new active shooter training standards for police, more frequent and unannounced security assessments at every public school, and new safety plans and resource guides for parents and teachers to be issued ahead of the upcoming school year.
3 dead, 17 injured after shooting near Chattanooga bar“We have to work together to do the small things right and to treat our public schools with the same vigilance that we would our homes,” Lee said.
But the order does not include plans for stricter gun laws in Tennessee.
“We’re not looking at gun restriction laws in my administration right now. Criminals don’t follow laws, criminals break laws. Whether they are a gun law, a drug law, criminals break laws,” Governor Lee said. “We can’t control what they do.”
Instead, Lee said he’s focused on alternatives like working to add a school resource officer to every school in the state — a push that began in 2019 when a grant placed 213 new SROs into classrooms.
Williamson County State Representative, Brandon Ogles (District 61), said Governor Lee has “championed” school safety in Tennessee since he took office.
“When I first came in as a state rep I was working on a piece of legislation to put an SRO in every school. Everybody said I was crazy. The governor stepped in and provided a whole lot of funding. We got a whole lot done. And it sounds like today that he’s willing to do what’s necessary to finish that and put an SRO in every one of our schools,” Ogles said.
Read the latest from the TN State Capitol NewsroomBut some Tennessee Democrats weren’t pleased with the governor’s new plans, including Sen. Raumesh Akbari (D-Memphis) who issued a statement calling for action to reduce gun violence in Tennessee after the executive order was published. Her full statement is below:
“ Gun violence is now the leading cause of death for children in America. We are the only country in the world with a major political party that chooses to do nothing to stop gun violence from kill our kids. Unfortunately, Gov. Bill Lee’s executive order on school safety is more of the same. While I am again disappointed, I am not surprised.
Taking action to reduce gun violence shouldn’t come down to party politics. This is a clear emergency and we must act now. We cannot allow another person to be murdered in a school, grocery store, or place of worship.
There have been nearly two dozen mass shootings in America since the Uvalde massacre at Robb Elementary. At least 54 people were injured and 11 were killed in separate mass shootings this weekend, one of which was in Chattanooga, where three Tennesseans died.
It’s not video games. It’s not our teachers or library books. It’s guns.
We cannot continue to let gun industry lobbyists decide what’s best for public health and safety. It’s killing us. I reject the notion that we are helpless against confronting gun violence.
Tennessee families believe in responsible gun ownership and they support laws that would deny firearms and weapons of war to people who can’t pass a background check. That’s not radical. That’s just common sense .
For all the talk about freedom, remember that our families and kids deserve the freedom to live. There are plenty of evidence-based solutions to reduce gun violence that work. If we can save another family from the pain and anguish of burying [a] 9-year-old child, I feel morally obligated to try. “

Your Health: Advanced tech may enable better reading
LANSING, Mich. (WILX) - When you have vision problems, you get a prescription to help you see better, but could a prescription help you read better?
From computer screens to tablets to your phone, digital reading is embedded into every aspect of our lives.
“How well you read is really your ability to perform in the world,” said Dr. Ben D. Sawyer. “I was walking through my career reading in a format that slows me down by, personally, about 15-20%”
And how you see the words on the screen can make a difference and researchers are using vision science to find your best reading format.
“What our research is showing is that when it comes to digital reading, there are formats in which people can read more proficiently,” said Stephanie Day.
Using a test that is similar to an eye vision exam, researchers had participants read passages in different fonts, font sizes and line spacing. Then the participants answered questions to test their comprehension.
“By looking at speed and comprehension, we’re able to identify which format actually helped them the most,” Sawyer said.
Early results show creating an individual text format can speed up some adults’ reading by more than 25% and could cut reading times in half. The researchers are using this test on a trial with elementary school students.
“We’re hoping that we can see even greater boosts for kids who are struggling readers or who have things like dyslexia,” Day said.
Once the best format is determined, the goal is to automatically carry that reading prescription with you to all digital devices.

Tampons, pads see supply chain shortages, inflation
(CNN) - Supply chain problems and inflation have hit virtually all consumer goods, and period products are no different.
Top retailers and manufacturers acknowledged the shortages of tampons and pads this week, confirming complaints that have been circulating on social media for months.
Tampon prices are up nearly 10% from a year ago, according to Bloomberg.
The shortages appear to stem from supply issues with key materials like cotton and plastic – the same materials used in personal protective equipment, which has been in high demand since the start of the pandemic.
Secondly, the war in Ukraine has further crimped supply because Russia and Ukraine are both major exporters of fertilizer used to grow cotton.
Lastly, the drought in Texas has hit cotton growth, too.
Of course, material shortages and supply chain issues are hitting a lot of products, but – much like the baby formula shortage – there’s a biological demand for period products that can’t be easily substituted.

The Boston Bruins seem to have reached a crossroads.
On one hand, they are coming off of a 107-point season where they had one of the 10-best records in the league and were a Game 7 loss away from advancing in the playoffs. They were still an excellent team and a legit contender in a tough division and conference.
But they are also on the verge of some pretty significant changes with a lot of question marks heading into the offseason and start of the 2022-23 season.
They are already in the market for a new head coach after the surprising dismissal of Bruce Cassidy.
There is also the very real possibility that Patrice Bergeron could opt for retirement instead of re-signing for another year.
Adding to that uncertainty is the offseason surgeries for Brad Marchand, Charlie McAvoy, Matt Grzelcyk, and Mike Reilly, all of whom could miss the start of the season. Marchand and McAvoy may not be back until December. Those would be two very significant absences to start the season.
[NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs 2022 schedule, TV info]
Then there is the gigantic elephant in the room, which is a new contract for star winger David Pastrnak. That situation, perhaps more than any other, could dictate what path the Bruins ultimately take over the next couple of seasons. Pastrnak is one of the best players in the league, is in the prime of his career, and is going to be eligible for a new contract extension this offseason as he enters the final year of his current six-year, $40 million contract. He will be eligible for unrestricted free agency after it expires.
Given his talent, production, age, and overall importance to the team it is pretty obvious the Bruins are going to try and get him signed beyond this season. Players like him do not tend to hit the open market and there would be no reason for the Bruins to not make an effort to get him signed. But making the effort and actually signing are two very different things.
Earlier this week The Athletic’s Fluto Shinzawa speculated that if the Bruins can not agree to a new deal with Pastrnak this offseason they may have no choice but to trade him and kickstart a full blown rebuild. With players like David Krejci and Zdeno Chara already gone, and Bergeron potentially riding off into the sunset of retirement a Pastrnak trade for future assets to replenish a barren farm system would definitely signify that start of an overhaul. You do not trade a player like that and expect to get better in the short-term.
But that is still dealing with a pretty significant hypothetical. There is still a very real possibility that Pastrnak re-signs, in which case he becomes the new franchise cornerstone (and a darn good one) that the Bruins can build around long-term. Even if the Bruins eventually hit a downturn in the next couple of years with Bergeron’s inevitable retirement, Marchand and Taylor Hall slowing down, and the depth around them still not being replenished you could always still trade a player like Pastrnak in the future. He is going to retain a lot of his value for several more years because he is still only 26 years old and not showing any signs of slowing down. You do not want to trade a player like that until you absolutely, positively have to trade them.

Right now in the short-term things look a little chaotic for Boston.
They do not have a head coach, two of their best players (Marchand and McAvoy) will be sidelined for at least a couple of months to start next season, Bergeron’s plans are still unknown, and they have to figure out what to do with Pastrnak.
If Bergeron returns and Pastrnak is able to be re-signed, there is enough talent here to get them through the first part of the season until McAvoy and Marchand return and remain a playoff team.
But if Bergeron returns and Pastrnak’s contract situation does not get resolved, the Bruins might have no other choice than to start tearing it down to the ground and trying to restock the cupboards long-term.

A rare plant that depends on wetlands for survival is now on the federal endangered species list, a designation that environmentalists say will boost efforts to protect the last free-flowing river in the desert Southwest.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service published the decision Friday in the federal register to list the Arizona eryngo as endangered and set aside nearly 13 acres (5 hectares) in southern Arizona as critical habitat.
The decision comes years after environmentalists petitioned and then sued to gain protection for the plant with cream-colored spherical flower heads. Only two populations are known in Arizona — near Tucson and in the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area.
The eryngo grows in ciénegas, a type of wetland fed by natural springs that come from the deep aquifer and nourish the San Pedro River. The plant's habitat and the flow of the San Pedro River have been threatened by over-pumping of groundwater in the region, climate change and drought.
“This gives us a new ability to protect it,” Robin Silver of the Center for Biological Diversity said of the river. “Protecting plants protects the aquifer itself.”
The plant also is found in the northern Mexican states of Chihuahua and Sonora. It historically grew in southwestern New Mexico at Las Playas Springs but hasn't been documented there since 1851, the Fish and Wildlife Service said.
The critical habitat in Arizona lies in Pima and Cochise Counties and doesn't include another location where efforts have failed to reintroduce the eryngo. The agency said development still can occur in the areas, but anything that relies on federal funding or federal permits has to be analyzed to ensure it doesn't impact the eryngo's habitat.
“Partnerships will be central to addressing the threats to the Arizona eryngo and putting it on the path to recovery,” Amy Lueders, the Southwest regional director for the Fish and Wildlife Service, said in a statement.
The agency didn't immediately respond to an email Friday afternoon from The Associated Press.
The Arizona eryngo is part of the carrot family and can grow more than 5 feet (1.5 meters) tall. It relies on pollinators, such as butterflies and hummingbirds, to reproduce. Conservation efforts are underway to establish more populations of the eryngo. | https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Rare-wetland-plant-found-in-Arizona-now-listed-as-17234319.php | 2022-06-10T22:51:28Z | https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Rare-wetland-plant-found-in-Arizona-now-listed-as-17234319.php | false | 24 |

The federal government said Friday that it will distribute $60 million among 12 states that have waterways that flow into the Mississippi River to help them control farm runoff and other pollution that contribute to a dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico.
The money comes from the infrastructure law that President Joe Biden signed in November, the Environmental Protection Agency said.
Radhika Fox, EPA assistant administrator for water, made the announcement with Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Mike Naig in Des Moines.
“The Mississippi River and Gulf of Mexico watershed is an iconic ecosystem that millions of Americans depend on for drinking water, agriculture, recreation and economic development and it is essential that we reduce nutrient pollution that harms water quality,” Fox said.
Naig is the co-chairman of the 12-member Mississippi River/Gulf of Mexico Watershed Nutrient Task Force. It was designed to cut the amount of phosphorous and nitrogen that flows from rivers and streams into the Mississippi River and causes the Gulf's dead zone.
In the Gulf, the nutrients feed an overgrowth of algae that eventually die and sink to the bottom, using up oxygen from the ocean floor up as they decompose.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said this month that the dead zone this year is expected to be about 5,364 square miles (13,893 square kilometers), which would be about 15% smaller than last year’s measurement.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
In 2001, the task force set a long-term goal of reducing the dead zone, or hypoxic area, to 1,900 square miles (4,920 square kilometers), which is about 35% of its current average area.
The $60 million will be distributed over the next five years. Each of the 12 states will receive $965,000 this year and $748,000 for each of the next three years. In 2026, the fifth year, each state again will receive $965,000.
The states are Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee and Wisconsin.
The money was attached to an EPA memorandum that provided guidance for how states could use the funds. It includes buying agricultural equipment such as cover crop seeders that can be shareable across thousands of acres, deploying remote-sensing tools to help identify critical sources of contaminants, implementing continuous real-time water quality monitoring and developing or revising numeric nutrient criteria and water quality standards.
Money can also be used for farmer-led education, training and demonstrations of on-farm methods to retain nutrients in the soil.
Iowa is often criticized because it has a voluntary nutrient reduction strategy that allows farmers to decide whether they want to implement measures that could reduce farm runoff of fertilizer, nitrate and other water contaminants.
Hugh Espey, the executive director of environmental group Iowa CCI, said the funding isn't likely to make a big difference until Iowa develops policies that stop the rapid growth of livestock confinement barns that house millions of chickens and hogs. | https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/national-international/epa-to-give-60m-to-12-states-to-help-curb-water-pollution/3074902/ | 2022-06-10T22:57:56Z | https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/national-international/epa-to-give-60m-to-12-states-to-help-curb-water-pollution/3074902/ | false | 16 |

HUNTSVILLE, Texas — Prison transports will start again next week with new security measures in place, according to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. They resume days after being temporarily stopped to review the process of moving inmates.
The transports will begin again on Monday, June 13.
The temporary halt and review came after convicted killer Gonzalo Lopez was able to escape from a transport bus near Centerville in early May and elude capture for three weeks. Investigators say Lopez killed four boys and their grandfather in Leon County before being killed in a shootout near San Antonio.
According to TDCJ, the new safety measures will include the following:
- Three officers will be required on transport buses
- Enhanced search procedures of an inmate before boarding a transport vehicle
- New video surveillance equipment will be installed on transport vehicles
- Inmates determined to be the highest risk will be transported by themselves
- Unit medical capabilities will be enhanced to reduce the need for offsite transport
- An independent security review will be conducted by an outside party
KHOU 11 did ask if there was video on the bus that was transporting Lopez, and we were told they did not. They also only had two corrections officers on board.
Results of the review will be made public once they're complete. | https://www.khou.com/article/news/local/texas/tdcj-transport-inmates/285-9dc5a7f5-f484-4a08-b921-f84afb931f74 | 2022-06-10T23:07:12Z | https://www.khou.com/article/news/local/texas/tdcj-transport-inmates/285-9dc5a7f5-f484-4a08-b921-f84afb931f74 | false | 2 |
Bangarra production Terrain showcases need to care for our country
By Jill Sykes
Terrain, Drama Theatre, Sydney Opera House, June 10-25
Frances Rings has a serene view of Lake Eyre – Kati Thanda – in her work Terrain, which first appeared in Bangarra Dance Theatre’s repertoire 10 years ago when she was resident choreographer. Now she is about to take over from Stephen Page as artistic director, this beautiful work is again setting its spell with a new generation of dancers.
These performers are particularly good, and suggest a strong future for the company. They make the most of the choreographer’s flowing style of curving arms and circling feet that bring small ensembles to close and touching groups, and large ensembles to embrace the wide stage with powerful energy.
In a note she has written for the printed program – an excellent and free guide to the performance and the company that is a fine example to other groups – Rings writes about her inspirations.
Working with cultural consultant Reg Dodd, she has drawn on a variety of aspects that shape this country in the north of South Australia, from landform and spinifex to the scars made by human intervention.
While some references are specific, like the men’s dance with shields, this is more of a cerebral and spiritual representation than literal references to animals and plants that we have seen in the more distant past.
In this, she is helped by the spacious sense of Jacob Nash’s handsome set designs, Jennifer Irwin’s inventive costumes and David Page’s distinctive music. All are integral to the success of the whole.
It is interesting to look back a decade and wonder how much more familiar these ideas would be to an audience today – a great deal, I would think. And with a season that runs to June 25, with tours to Canberra in July and Brisbane in August, there is a good opportunity to refresh your thoughts on the subject and the need for all Australians to care for our country.

The Daily Checkout: The Classic Mascara Our Executive Editor Still Swears By
Jun. 10 2022, Published 4:44 p.m. ET
All products featured on OK! Magazine are independently selected by our editors. However, when you buy something through our retail links, OK! Magazine may earn an affiliate commission.
Welcome to The Daily Checkout, a new, daily series where our editors share their favorite beauty and fashion products. From tried-and-true makeup staples to newly-tested items we already adore, we'll be breaking down what we love and why — for the sake of beauty itself.
Amid all the questionable makeup fads of the past several years — thick, blocky brows and using literally any household object to blend your foundation — sometimes it's better to stick with tried-and-true beauty classics, a sentiment OK!’s Executive Editor Jaclyn Roth knows too well.
For the past 15 years, Jaclyn has sworn by Covergirl’s Lash Blast Volume Mascara to give her perfect, volumized lashes.
“I’ve been using this probably since I was a teenager, which is wild,” she shares, noting that she first picked up the product on a drugstore run with her mother. “But it just goes on so easily and it really accentuates the lashes.”
On the off chance that the product’s name doesn't ring a bell, its packaging will. Encased in a sloped, cylindrical orange tube, Lash Blast Volume Mascara has served as a drugstore beauty must-have for decades now. But it seems there’s good reason for its enduring appeal — its infallible quality.
“I feel like it’s just so easy and reputable,” she says of the product's impressive legacy as an affordable must-have. “The fact that it’s not gone anywhere, the fact that they’re still selling it after all these years, obviously people love it and are loyal to it.”
But beyond its reputation, Jaclyn says the product lives up to yet another standard — Covergirl’s storied track record of creating affordable, quality beauty products.
“Easy, Breezy Beautiful, I really always feel great when I wear it,” she jokes.

Rep. Cheney wore Capitol Police pin and had 'protector' figurine with her during Jan. 6 hearing
GOP Rep. Liz Cheney wore a pin to honor U.S. Capitol Police and had a "protector" figurine with her during Thursday's high-profile hearing convened by the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
Cheney, a Wyoming Republican, serves as vice chair of the committee and played a prominent role during the hearing as she asserted that former President Donald Trump had a "sophisticated" plan to overturn the 2020 presidential election and warned members of her own party against defending the "indefensible."
The pin and the top of the figurine could be seen as Cheney sat at the dais — and questions about what the figurine was and what it represented circulated on social media throughout the evening.
Jeremy Adler, a spokesperson for Cheney, told CNN the figurine was given to the congresswoman by Hannah Muldavin, a staffer for the committee and was made by Muldavin's grandfather. Her grandfather made a number of the figurines, called "protectors," for committee members and staff "to recognize their defense of democracy," Adler told CNN.
The figurine has a message inscribed at its base that reads: "Select committee members and staff to investigate attack on Capitol, thank you."
The pin Cheney wore during the hearing was given to her by members of the U.S. Capitol Police, Adler said.
Capitol Police Officer Caroline Edwards testified during Thursday's hearing and provided chilling and graphic detail of the violence that unfolded as Trump supporters stormed the Capitol that day.
Edwards likened what she say to "a war scene," saying she witnessed "carnage" and chaos."
"I couldn't believe my eyes: There were officers on the ground. They were bleeding, they were throwing up," Edwards said. "I saw friends with blood all over their faces. I was slipping in people's blood. I was catching people as they fell. It was carnage. It was chaos." | https://www.wmtw.com/article/cheney-capitol-police-pin-protector-figurine-january-6-hearing/40257221 | 2022-06-10T23:19:58Z | https://www.wmtw.com/article/cheney-capitol-police-pin-protector-figurine-january-6-hearing/40257221 | true | 11 |
Fitter and Faster Swim Camps is the proud sponsor of SwimSwam’s College Recruiting Channel and all commitment news. For many, swimming in college is a lifelong dream that is pursued with dedication and determination. Fitter and Faster is proud to honor these athletes and those who supported them on their journey.
Olivia McKee of Carmel Swim Club in Indiana has recently announced her intention to stay in-state with her commitment to Butler University. A 2022 high school graduate, McKee will be joining the Bulldogs for the 2022-2023 season.
I am super excited to announce my verbal commitment to swim and study at Butler University!!!! I want to send a huge thank you to my family, friends and coaches for their support and encouragement throughout my athletic career :)) Looking forward to the next four! GO DAWGS
McKee is primarily a freestyler and backstroker. At the 2022 Indiana Senior State Championships, she set new personal best times in the 500 free, 1000 free, and 1650 free. Her highest finish was 16th in the 1650, where she dropped nearly 22 seconds to post a time of 18:01.77.
A year prior, at the 2021 Indiana Senior State Championships, she finished 16th in the 200 back with a personal best of 2:05.32. This was nearly a two-and-a-half second drop from her previous best of 2:07.79, set in January of the same year. Her best 100 back time is also from this meet, where she dropped over three-quarters of a second, finishing 40th.
Best Times SCY:
- 500 free- 5:15.58
- 1000 free-10:59.93
- 1650 free- 18:01.77
- 100 back- 59.44
- 200 back- 2:05.32
Butler University is a Division I Mid-Major program that competes in the Big East Conference. There are seven women’s teams in the conference, including Villanova, UConn, and Xavier, last year’s top 3. At the 2022 Conference Championships, Butler finished 6th, ahead of only Providence College.
McKee will be an asset to Butler’s distance group, which is currently sparse. At the 2022 Big East Conference Championships, the Bulldogs had two entrants in the 1650 freestyle. Sophomore Kaelyn Crane finished 16th, while senior Olivia Klafta came in 19th. With her best time, McKee would have placed 18th.
In the 500, Crane was Butler’s highest finisher again, this time coming in 22nd. McKee’s best time would have put her just outside of the C-Final, ranking 27th in prelims. The Bulldogs sent two athletes to the C-final in the 200 backstroke, finishing 22nd and 23rd. McKee’s best time would have made her Butler’s top backstroker, ranking 18th among last year’s Big East results.
In the fall, McKee will start training under head coach Maurice Stewart. The 2022-2023 season will be his 18th year with the Bulldogs.

It was more of what was not on the agenda that made news at the Thursday, June 2 Brunswick Planning Board meeting than what was on it. In particular, Planning Board Attorney Andy Gilchrist outlined some of the proposed changes to Town code in relation to multi-family dwellings and where they could be located.
Currently a number of locally zoned parcels have what is called an overlay attached to them. That means the restrictions or permitted uses for that zoned area can be altered if there is, say, an agricultural overlay as well. Anything allowed in the overlaid district would also permitted.

HELENA — Leaders with the U.S. Department of the Interior visited the site of the 2019 North Hills Fires to highlight similar reconstruction and recovery efforts across the country funded by the infrastructure bill, which was championed by the Biden administration.
The visit to Helena ended an almost week long visit to Montana and Wyoming showcasing how the infrastructure law, which passed last year, will improve fire resilience.
The human caused North Hills Fire in 2019 burn more than 5,000 acres and part of the area’s fence line. Montana Conservation Corps rebuilt the 4.5 miles of fence, which will help the Bureau of Land Management reopen the land to grazing. While the fence was fixed prior to passage of the infrastructure bill, Deputy Secretary of the Interior Tommy Beaudreau said the fence was a good example of the type of project for which the bill would pay. Beaudreau credited Sen. Jon Tester’s work to get the Bipartisan bill through congress, which put $85 million into the milk river water system.
Beaudreau met with Gov. Greg Gianforte Thursday to discuss the project. Gianforte pushed Beaudreau on the need to adjust the cost-share so the federal government bears a greater burden.
The infrastructure bill will also go toward preventing large scale wild fires and funding repairs.
“Part of the work of the bipartisan infrastructure law is around resilience and fire," Beaudreau said. "And that’s part of the reason why we’re here today and you can see in the back drop here, you know, some of the consequences of fire in the American west.”
Helena Mayor Wilmot Collins spoke before Beaudreau about Montanan’s love for the outdoors and how in recent years the wildfires have made it harder for people to recreate.
“Severe smoke causing health issues, poor air quality, this law will, this infrastructure law will help our various community ecosystems against the threat of wild land fires by investing in forest restoration which is so much needed in our state," Collins said. "It seems like this bipartisan infrastructure law was built for Montana and we should treasure it.”
Beaudreau also met with some of the folks who work for Montana Conservation Corps. Without groups such as the MCC, the Bureau of Land Management would have been hard pressed to get workers out in the North Hills to fix the burned fence, said Al Nash spokesperson for BLM's Montana and Dakotas' state office. The BLM has lots of land and not so many people to do the job, he said. Plus, people come to MCC from all over because they felt a need to get tied more close to the land.
Ashley Valentin was living in New Orleans when she decided she wanted to join the Montana Conservation Corps.
“I’ve always wanted to do environmental work and was just again tired of the normal society life and really wanted to do something that gave back to the community, gave back to the environment and earth," Valentin said. "I was looking for seasonal work and found MCC and was really thrilled that they had a women’s crew and that’s really the major factor of why I came to MCC was for that women’s crew so inclusive and inviting that didn’t seem so intimidating.”
Funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law will go to supporting partnerships between the Interior Department and groups such as MCC.
The bill included more than a hundred billion in new funds for roads and bridges; money for new American made school buses; invests in Superfund site clean up; meant to eliminate lead pipes; increase access to high-speed internet and address the climate crisis through investments in clean energy and a network of electric vehicle chargers. | https://www.ktvh.com/news/u-s-interior-officials-tour-site-of-north-hill-fires | 2022-06-10T23:22:59Z | https://www.ktvh.com/news/u-s-interior-officials-tour-site-of-north-hill-fires | true | 6 |

Brentford have approached Bologna for £18m Scotland international defender Aaron Hickey amid interest from Napoli, Arsenal, Newcastle and Aston Villa
- Brentford have made an official approach to Bologna for defender Aaron Hickey
- Napoli, Arsenal, Newcastle and Aston Vill have all also shown interest in Hickey

Brentford have made an official approach to Bologna for Scotland international defender Aaron Hickey.
Sportsmail reported on the English Premier League side’s plans for an £18million bid in April.
A starter in last week’s World Cup play-off defeat to Ukraine, 20-year-old Hickey is also a target for Serie A giants Napoli.
Brentford have made an official approach to Bologna for Scotland defender Aaron Hickey
The 20-year-old, who started the World Cup play-off defeat to Ukraine, is a target for Napoli
Hickey made a £1.5m move from Hearts to Bologna in September 2020 despite a rival offer from Bayern Munich.
Since then, the full-back has played more first-team minutes than any other teenager currently plying his trade in a major league, with Arsenal, Newcastle and Aston Villa also credited with an interest.
Should a move go through it is understood Hearts will earn a fixed fee less than they might have raked in had they negotiated for a percentage of the sale proceeds.
Arsenal, Newcastle and Aston Villa have all also shown an interest in the young full-back
After recent months running scouting checks and speaking to former managers of the ex-Hearts defender, however, Brentford remain the frontrunners for his signature.

NEW ORLEANS – A federal appeals court has halted enforcement of a district judge’s order for Louisiana to redraw new congressional districts by June 20 to include a second majority Black district.
A panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals acted Thursday night, hours after U.S. District Judge Shelly Dick refused to put a hold on her order.
Dick’s order would require a racial gerrymander that itself would violate the Voting Rights Act, lawyers for Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin wrote in a motion filed Friday.
In a motion filed Thursday, State Senate President Page Cortez and House Speaker Clay Schexnayder argued, “To conduct the 2022 election with two majority-Black districts would risk a widespread equal-protection violation.”
Ardoin said Dick ignored legal precedent and election officials.
“Instead, the district court cherry picks evidence, relies upon testimony of a lawyer for the Governor who has never administered an election in Louisiana, and discounts established Fifth Circuit and Supreme Court precedent,” his motion argued.
The state Attorney General's Office filed a third motion.
“Their motions rest in large part on asking this Court to disregard the district court’s findings of fact, ignoring or mischaracterizing the district court’s legal analysis and the evidentiary record, and urging arguments that are contrary to binding case law,” responded attorneys for the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, which represents one of the two groups of voters who challenged the plan.
“Defendants point to nothing in the district court’s order that indicates it made a mistake of law or fact,” said lawyers for the other group.
Cortez and Schexnayder said Friday that a special session called to revise district lines should be canceled.
“Before the judicial redistricting process is complete, any special session would be premature and a waste of taxpayer money,” they wrote.
Gov. John Bel Edwards, a Democrat who has called for a redistricting session from June 15-20, said it's too early to cancel the session.
“Given the expedited timeline, there will likely be additional action by the Fifth Circuit on the stay request before the session is set to begin on June 15,” said a news release from his office.
If the court continues the hold, the session should be delayed until it makes a decision, he said in a letter to the legislators.
“While I am mindful of the costs to the taxpayers as pointed out in your press release, it is clear that the state would have saved the unknown thousands of dollars being spent on out-of-state lawyers if the legislature had originally enacted maps that comply with the Voting Rights Act and the standard of fundamental fairness," he wrote. “It is not too late for the legislature to do the right thing.”
He had vetoed the new districts, saying that since Louisiana is nearly one-third African American, a single majority-Black district violates the Voting Rights Act.
However, the Republican-dominated legislature overrode his veto.
Court papers for Ardoin call the deadline “unworkable” — an argument that Dick described as “insincere and not persuasive.”
The state requires seven days’ notice of the start of the session and three days for bill reading, she wrote. That “would require ten days total, and this Court gave the Legislature fourteen,” she said.
Kathryn Sadasivan, redistricting counsel for the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, said the new map “continues to pack Black voters from New Orleans and Baton Rouge into a single congressional district despite the significant changes in the Black population and the shared interests and needs of Black voters in Baton Rouge and the Delta parishes” north of Baton Rouge along and east of the Mississippi River.
She said Dick's 152-page ruling recognized that the single majority African American district dilutes Black political power.
“We are confident that the November primary election is sufficiently far away to allow this decision to stand,” Sadasivan wrote. | https://www.wsls.com/news/politics/2022/06/10/stay-on-order-for-2nd-majority-black-us-house-district-in-la/ | 2022-06-10T23:38:09Z | https://www.wsls.com/news/politics/2022/06/10/stay-on-order-for-2nd-majority-black-us-house-district-in-la/ | false | 5 |
Jamie Chung and Bryan Greenberg
The Gotham actress and One Tree Hill alum welcomed twin boys via surrogacy in October 2021 — a decision that stemmed heavily from the pressures put on women in the entertainment industry.
“I was terrified of becoming pregnant. I was terrified of putting my life on hold for two-plus years,” the Lovecraft Country star revealed to Today Parents in June 2022. “In my industry, it feels like you’re easily forgotten if you don’t work within the next month of your last job. Things are so quickly paced in what we do. So it’s a compromise that we made together as a couple.”
Chung said that while “people will probably think, ‘Oh, she’s so vain,’” the decision to have a baby via surrogate is actually a lot more complicated than that. “I worked my ass off my entire life to get where I am,” she said. “I don’t want to lose opportunities. I don’t want to be resentful.”

When does ‘Dota: Dragon’s Blood – Book 3’ release?
Fans have been eagerly awaiting news about the third season of Dota: Dragon’s Blood. And thankfully, Netflix has finally broken its silence and announced Book 3’s premiere date during their massive Geeked Week series of events. So if you can’t wait for more Dota action, here is everything you need to know about the upcoming third book.
What is Dota: Dragon’s Blood about?
Dota: Dragon’s Blood launched in 2021. Inspired by the world and lore of the popular Dota 2 MOBA that first hit computers in 2013, the animated series follows Davion, a Dragon Knight tasked with hunting down and slaying dragons, thus preventing the massive beasts from causing havoc and killing innocent people. However, Davion soon finds himself thrust into the middle of a gigantic and long-running war between demons and dragons, something that becomes even more complex when an elder dragon fuses his soul with Davion’s soul.
This forces the Dragon Knight to head out on a mission to stop the demon Terrorblade, who wants to kill dragons and harvest their souls for a mysterious plan. Along the way, Davion encounters many foes and makes some friends, including Mirana, a moon princess.
2022’s Book 2 upped the stakes further, with Davion encountering even more dangerous creatures and slowly uncovering more information about the war and his plight, helping him realize the sheer scale of what he was suddenly involved in. So it is likely that Book 3 will up the stakes even more while introducing loads of new threats for Davion to deal with.
When does Dota: Dragon’s Blood, Book 3 release?
During Netflix’s 2022 Geeked Week, the streaming giant unveiled loads of new shows and trailers. During the presentations, there were several big release date confirmations, and one such confirmation was for Dota: Dragon’s Blood.
According to Netflix, Dota: Dragon’s Blood Book 3 will be landing on the streaming platform on August 11th this year. Aside from this release date, Netflix is remaining tight-lipped about the third book of the series.
Soon after the announcement at Geeked Week, the animators of Dota: Dragon’s Blood, Studio Mir posted a tweet about it on Twitter. This tweet featured a short gif teaser that showed the Invoker and an ornate before saying: “Season 3 is coming.”
The tweet was equally mysterious. All it says is: “The Eye opens… and the Beginning of the End is here.” So it seems fans will have to wait a little longer to learn more about what to expect in the third installment of this popular series. | https://wegotthiscovered.com/anime/when-does-dota-dragons-blood-book-3-release/ | 2022-06-10T23:39:18Z | https://wegotthiscovered.com/anime/when-does-dota-dragons-blood-book-3-release/ | false | 1 |
