Once appearing comfortably situated for their first playoff berth in four seasons, the Kings may find themselves in quicksand if they fail to pick up points in a back-to-back set that will pit them against the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday and Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday.
Just a week ago, the Kings were in second place in the Pacific Division. But five losses in their last seven games have sunk them into third place and cast doubt on their qualifying for the postseason at all. They sit just two points ahead of the Vegas Golden Knights, winners of eight of their past 11 games.
If Vegas were to leapfrog the Kings, the Kings would become vulnerable to wild-card competition from the Central Division. Entering Monday’s games, the Kings (38-26-10) were in a points tie with the Dallas Stars, who were one point behind Nashville, which presently owned the first of the two at-large berths. All those teams as well as second-place Edmonton had at least one game in hand on the Kings.
In one of the low points of the campaign to date, the Kings surrendered six unanswered goals to the Wild in Minnesota on Sunday, turning a 3-0 lead into a 6-3 loss.
“It’s never going to get easier. The closer you get to the playoffs, it’s going to get harder. You have to play as a team and stick with it, or you’re going to lose some games like that,” center Phillip Danault said.
As Coach Todd Mclellan did following a loss to division rival Edmonton at home last week, Danault emphasized that at this stage in the season, opponents were at their sharpest, already in playoff form.
“Every little mistake you [make] can be in the back of your net and it can make a big difference in the game,” Danault said. “It’s a big learning lesson, but we’ve got to keep pushing with our young group.”
That group gained a bit of experience with the return of center Blake Lizotte on Sunday. Winger Arthur Kaliyev was scratched for an unspecified, non-injury-related reason. Defenseman Alex Edler and winger Dustin Brown could be the next Kings to return from injury, two veterans well into their 30s.
On deck for the Kings await two teams at opposite ends of the standings. Chicago (24-37-11) has the third-worst record in the Western Conference, while Colorado (52-14-6) remains atop the Presidents’ Trophy leaderboard with the NHL’s best record.
Chicago has lost seven straight games and 10 of its past 12. Its last win came against the Kings on March 24, a 4-3 shootout victory in the only prior meeting between the two teams this season. Winger Patrick Kane, who leads Chicago with 82 points, and winger Alex DeBrincat, whose 39 goals are tops on the team, each turned in multipoint performances.
Colorado has won six consecutive games and 11 of its past 13. They beat the Kings in both the Jan. 20 and March 15 matchups by an aggregate 7-1 score. Winger Mikko Rantanen has led the Avs in scoring this season, overall with 86 points and against the Kings with four. Center Nathan MacKinnon has posted 77 points in 56 games, and three against the Kings.

Puppet Masters
Biden's approval rating ticked down to 42 percent in early April, according to the poll, which CBS News said is its lowest yet. Fifty-eight percent of respondents said they disapprove of the way Biden is handling his job as president.
The president's latest approval rating is down slightly from February and March, when 43 percent said they approved of how Biden was handling his job.
In January and November, 44 percent gave Biden positive marks, and in August, his approval rating as tracked by CBS News and YouGov was 50 percent. By comparison, he had a 62 percent approval rating in March 2021.
Respondents in the new survey gave the president the worst marks for his handling of inflation, which has skyrocketed in recent months and is affecting Americans at grocery stores and gas pumps. Thirty-one percent of respondents said they approve of the way Biden is handling inflation, while 69 percent said they disapprove of it.
Annual inflation reached 7.9 percent in March — the highest rate since 1982 — which has caused prices to increase.
Biden also received low marks when it came to his handling of the economy generally. Thirty-seven percent of respondents said they approve of his management of the economy, compared to 63 percent who said they disapprove.
The president also saw low approval numbers on his handling of immigration and crime, with 38 percent and 39 percent giving him positive marks, respectively.
He scored best on the situation with Russia and Ukraine: 45 percent of respondents said they approve of his handling of the situation, compared to 55 percent who said they disapprove.
Biden's approval rating has been on a downward trend since around the summer, according to FiveThirtyEight's tracker. His approval rating remained around 53 percent during his first six months in office before it started falling.
CBS News and YouGov polled 2,062 adults April 5-8. The margin of error is 2.8 percentage points.

Quote of the Day
"The Kennedy assassination has demonstrated that most of the major events of world significance are masterfully planned and orchestrated by an elite coterie of enormously powerful people who are not of one nation, one ethnic grouping, or one overridingly important business group. They are a power unto themselves for whom those others work. Neither is this power elite of recent origin. Its roots go deep into the past."

We had all been waiting for this lunch for a very long time. JK Rowling had asked a number of women who have supported her and each other during the great ‘gender wars’ for a slap-up Christmas lunch.
In the run-up, we all chatted excitedly about it. I knew some of the women involved, some not and I’d never met Jo herself. Obviously there had been messages of support from her during what I call the great “unpleasantness” at my former paper. Which meant a lot. Like everyone else, I have watched day in, day out the abuse she gets on social media for standing up for women and girls. Anyone in the public eye who speaks out gets abuse, but the extent to which Rowling has stood firm in spite of being vilified is testament to her extraordinary strength. What I didn’t know until we started messaging is quite how hilarious and sweary she is. These are all qualities I like in a woman.
Alas, that lunch never happened as Covid rates shot up. Rowling’s husband is a doctor and had advised her not to get us all together at that point in December. We reluctantly agreed that even though he is a man, he may know what he is talking about. Instead, she sent us all goody bags. Totally lovely.
Yet us would-be ladies who lunch, including of course the alleged “international network of powerful lesbians” seem to have formed a little support group as each of us have been under attack at various times. Maya Forstater, Rosie Duffield, Kathleen Stock, Julie Bindel, Joanna Cherry, Alison Bailey and Bev Jackson: all of us know what it’s like to open Twitter and see nothing but abuse and “Die Terf” threats. This undiluted misogyny in the name of trans rights is mostly not perpetrated by trans people at all but by their so-called allies, often very alienated men.
But the lunch with this bunch of women finally did happen and I have now read several accounts as to why it took place.
We must be a coven, or launching a campaign or plotting. The actual reason? To eat, drink and be extremely merry, which seems never to have occurred to these steely investigative reporters.
Jo had booked a private room at The River Café. “No men?” they had asked her. “That’s right, no men”. I arrived to find a beautiful table, the wine already flowing and a bunch of overexcited women. I was seated next to Julie Bindel. For decades she has been fighting for women in prison, who are trafficked and abused. She has been physically attacked for opposing “gender ideology”. But that’s not the only reason why I love her. She is full of mischief and raucousness. Helen Joyce whose book Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality was next to me. Her book has done brilliantly, as has Professor Kathleen Stock’s Material Girls. This is a huge boo-ya to the publishing world who are complete cowards on this subject.
Most of the women I had met before and the rest I felt I knew anyway. It was fabulous to meet Angela Wild and Liane Timmerman, out and proud butch lesbians. So please don’t talk to me about gender non-conformity. All the prissy little puritans have no idea how physically brave such women are. Liane was wearing a T-shirt with ‘Lesbian Not Queer’ on it. Maya Forstater has just launched the Respect My Sex campaign, calling on local authorities and others to commit to protecting sex-based rights and to acknowledge “that sex matters. Women matter. Single-sex spaces matter. Female-only sporting events matter. Child safeguarding matters.” Those who don’t respect this will not receive their vote, they starkly warn. Were we there to plan the next phase of this campaign? No, not at all, though I was pleased to see her so well after all she has been through.
No, in fact we were there to discuss incredibly important subjects. Like, has KD Laing ‘gone off’ as a gay icon? And the Keanu Reeves test. Me and JK think if you don’t fancy Keanu you definitely are a lesbian. Bindel, as ever, was goading us, saying we were not as heterosexual as we think. JK, she reckons, is about 66 per cent straight. She seems to believe that she has some sort of lesbian Geiger counter. In a conversation when we joked about whether Angela Merkel could be secretly gay, she found it hysterical when I said “Isn’t she just a scientist?” .
It would be lovely to tell you we discussed how to bring down the patriarchy, shared some innovative campaigning strategies, had an agenda and took notes. In fact we had so much gorgeous food and wine – The River Café does a nice spot of pasta – that we phoned up Martina Navratilova and sang ‘We love you Martina!” to her voicemail. God knows what she will make of that message!
There was some chat about whether, if we could impregnate women without men, we would. Apparently I was very keen. Kathleen Stock asked Helen and I about the failure of investigative journalism when it came to this issue.
JK and I talked about how many high profile people we know who send us support in private, but will not come out with that support in public. There were speeches. Possibly I made one. They were mostly about how wonderful it was to be together having felt so outcast. Obviously, there has been Covid but all of us there – straight/gay/bi, single parents, Left-wing – have been made to feel as if we are pariahs simply because we challenge the idea that womanhood is a feeling in a man’s head. Ironically, I got so much grief over this – especially because I did not support Corbyn – from young guys telling me I was old, ugly and drunk. How I have had three kids and a career is a mystery to them.
We have reached the utterly bizarre situation where the leader of the opposition, Sir Keir Starmer, cannot say what a woman is, whereas Boris Johnson – who I have never said a good word about – can spell it out quite plainly. Indeed, in one of the clearest statements he has ever given, recently he said that biology is real, that those who had gone through male puberty should not compete with females in sport and that children should not be rushed into transition.
Meanwhile Labour flounders; saying that a woman can have a penis (Thornberry) and men can grow a cervix (Lammy) while most of us sit agog and think: “Stop drinking the Kool Aid and talk to your voters”. None of us wants to stop trans people expressing themselves or accessing healthcare, but nothing Rowling has written is transphobic. What it is though, is a considered view about protecting the rights of women, particularly vulnerable ones, and not medicalising girls who may simply be unhappy and may be gay.
This week a perfectly nice woman canvassing for Labour knocked on my door and I explained to her that I would not be voting for a party that does not know what a woman is. She looked utterly bewildered and I felt so sorry for her that I started talking about bin collection. But how can Labour be so unprepared for this question? A Democrat friend in the US tells me that the whole sports issues highlighted by swimmer Lia Thomas is really playing badly for Biden on the doorstep.
How perfect, then, that the lunch had been rearranged to take place on a sunny day when gender critical views are now becoming seen as the common sense they are.
And it really was perfect. Not only did we get extremely and gloriously smashed, but there is nothing like laughing with other women. It’s just the most life-enhancing thing. As Maya Angelou said: “I don’t trust anyone who doesn’t laugh”. That is in the end why we will win. We cackled away not just at the humourless little puritans who think they define us, but at our own silliness. As you can see from the pictures, if radical feminists did hen dos, this is how they’d look.
I got home with another goody bag and found amongst the many treats some beautiful Easter eggs, which I had to eat in the middle of the night, still giggling to myself about the brilliant day, the brilliant women, the brilliant feeling of being in the company of those who are not afraid to stand up and being counted. JK Rowling made this particular gathering happen but all over the country, all kinds of women are standing up too.
And though of course I am never drinking again, I raise my glass to you.
Respect my Sex: what is it and why?
Not since Brexit has a cultural-political issue proved so polarising. The question of gender identity and whether biology matters has, perhaps improbably, cast a far-reaching shadow over public debate.
On one side are those who believe we can define our own gender based on who we feel we are, and that any attempt to deny this is an attack on the rights, wellbeing and safety of transgender people. On the other: those who believe in the primacy of biological reality, and who would seek to defend it against erasure.
Put more simply, the argument boils down to one deceptively tricky question: what is a woman?
The debate has rumbled on for several years, with frequent flare-ups whenever JK Rowling – the Harry Potter author, who sits firmly on the gender-critical side of the fence – says anything new. But if most politicians had hoped to steer clear of this particular minefield, silence is no longer an option. Now, in the lead-up to the local elections on May 5, a group called Women Uniting that comprises members and supporters of six political parties has launched a campaign called Respect My Sex – and it’s coming for every candidate.
“In corporations and councils, from parliament to playgrounds, the two sexes – man and woman, male and female – are being sidelined in language, law, policy and public spaces,” the group claims on its website. “Biological sex is a fact of life. It is simple and straightforward, and central to how we organise our world. But now the concept of sex is being undermined.”
Describing themselves as a “cross-party group fighting for women’s sex-based rights,” the campaigners are calling on local authorities and others to commit to protecting sex-based rights and to acknowledge “that sex matters. Women matter. Single-sex spaces matter. Female-only sporting events matter. Child safeguarding matters.” Those who don’t respect this will not receive their vote, they starkly warn.
Supporters are encouraged to ask canvassers the kind of questions that have been causing headaches for (predominantly Labour) politicians: what do you think is most important, sex or gender? Do you support the replacement of women’s single sex spaces with mixed sex ones?
Politically speaking, there are no right answers: whichever side a candidate comes down on, he or she risks alienating voters who fervently believe the opposite. The number of those who have bravely (or gutlessly, depending on your perspective) tried and failed to straddle the divide is growing. Sir Keir Starmer, the Labour leader, would not be drawn on whether a woman can have a penis in an LBC radio debate last month. Weeks earlier, Anneliese Dodds, the shadow minister for women and equalities, struggled to offer a clear answer to the question of Labour’s definition of a woman when asked on BBC Woman’s Hour.
It’s not just a Labour problem: Rishi Sunak, the Tory Chancellor, when asked on talkRadio, attempted to bat away the question by saying Prime Minister Boris Johnson had already given the answer – one that he seemed strangely unable to repeat on air.
Johnson’s answer – “I think that when it comes to distinguishing between a man and a woman that basic facts of biology remain overwhelmingly important” – was at least clear, and given in the knowledge he’s unlikely to lose too many woke young voters as a result, since they were probably never his to begin with.
The Mumsnet vote, meanwhile, is up for grabs. And some vocal users are firm believers in the now-controversial idea that a woman is an adult human female. Their response to Labour’s fence-sitting has been predictably scathing. “I can hear Aretha singing it now,” wrote one, after Dodds’ awkward run-in with the woman question on Radio 4. “You make me feel like a natural context-dependent cervix-haver.”
For some, the cost of living crisis will determine who gets their vote. But for those invested in this thorniest of culture war issues, the question of how to define a woman goes to the heart of whether their elected representatives speak for them.

A search and rescue truck stolen from Williams Lake has been recovered.
Williams Lake RCMP said the CCSAR truck was located by the Alexis Creek RCMP after receiving a tip from the public. Some specialized tools, however, are still missing, which include a Holmatro Combi tool, a Holmatro Hydrolic Ram, Holmatro hoses and pumps.
The truck – a 2021 Dodge Ram 5500 rescue truck recently purchased for Central Cariboo Search and Rescue (CCSAR) – was recovered outside of the city of Williams Lake.
There is no word yet on what condition the truck is in or whether the tools are intact.
Police and the public have been on the look out for the truck since it was taken Sunday morning, April 3, from the CCSAR hall on Mackenzie Avenue by thieves who broke into the building.
The vehicle is a specialized unit used by search and rescue crews to respond to accident scenes and is valued at almost $200,000, while the life-saving tools onboard are worth another $200,000.
Upon hearing the news Saturday morning (April 9), CCSAR Chief Rick White said he’s just glad the truck has been found, and he appreciates the assistance from the media and the public.
“I’m very sad it happened but now we just have to shake it off, move on and do what we do best which is serve the community,” said White.
“Williams Lake is a great place to live and raise a family. Unfortunately crime occurs in every town, city and municipality. But the people of Williams Lake are far superior than a few who go around doing these things.”
He confirmed improvements to the security at the hall are underway.
RCMP are expected to release more information regarding the recovery of the truck later, but it the meantime thanked the public in the region and province-wide for their efforts to locate the truck.
Meanwhile in the South Cariboo another emergency vehicle was stolen overnight Friday April 8 or Saturday April 9. In that case the Interlakes Volunteer Fire Department Hall 3 at Bridge Lake was broken into and a first responder medical truck was taken.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A Minnesota judge will hear arguments Monday on whether to allow live video coverage of the upcoming trial of three former Minneapolis police officers charged with aiding and abetting the murder of George Floyd.
Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill took the rare step of allowing live audiovisual coverage of ex-Officer Derek Chauvin’s murder trial last year, making an exception to the normal rules of Minnesota courts. He cited the need to balance protecting participants from COVID-19 against the constitutional requirement for a public trial.
Now that the U.S. has entered a new phase of living with the coronavirus, Cahill must decide whether to allow the same sort of access for the trial set to begin in June for former Officers Tou Thao, Thomas Lane and J. Alexander Kueng.
A coalition of media organizations, including The Associated Press, that wants Cahill to allow video coverage said in a brief filed Friday that it understood the judge planned to prohibit it. The coalition said it presumed the reasons included defense objections and the judge’s belief that his hands are tied by the normal court rules “absent the extenuating circumstances caused by the pandemic.”
Thao, Lane and Kueng are charged with aiding and abetting both manslaughter and murder when Chauvin used his knee to pin Floyd, a Black man, to the pavement for 9 1/2 minutes on May 25, 2020. Kueng knelt on Floyd’s back, Lane held his legs and Thao kept bystanders back. The killing, which was recorded on video, sparked protests around the world and a national reckoning on race.
Defense attorneys have raised concerns about the willingness of witnesses to testify. Minnesota court rules generally require the consent of all parties for audiovisual coverage of trials, with fewer restrictions for sentencings. Chauvin’s trial was the first in Minnesota to be entirely televised, from jury selection to his murder conviction to his sentencing to 22 1/2 years in prison. People worldwide tuned into the livestreams.
“I think livestreaming that trial enabled people here and around the world to see the inner workings of a system that was handling one of the most important trials of our time,” said Suki Dardarian, senior managing editor and vice president of the Star Tribune of Minneapolis, which is part of the media coalition.
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison’s office initially opposed having cameras in the court for Chauvin’s trial, but now supports them for the other officers’ upcoming trial.
“The Chauvin trial demonstrated the benefits of robust public access to this important case and proved that the Court could successfully navigate the concerns animating the State’s initial opposition to audio and video coverage,” prosecutors wrote last week. “The Court’s commendable transparency inspired public confidence in the proceedings and helped ensure calm in Minneapolis and across the country.”
Due to federal court rules, live video coverage was not allowed for the first trial of Thao, Lane and Kueng this year, when all three were convicted of violating Floyd’s civil rights. Nor was it allowed for Chauvin’s federal case in which he pleaded guilty to civil rights violations. But it was allowed in the December state court trial of former Brooklyn Center Officer Kim Potter in the death of Daunte Wright.
“None of the bad things that critics feared transpired, and we had the huge benefit of giving the public at large an opportunity to observe the proceedings,” said Jane Kirtley, director of the Silha Center for the Study of Media Ethics and Law at the University of Minnesota, another coalition member.
An advisory committee to the Minnesota Supreme Court is considering whether to allow more video coverage of criminal proceedings. It’s due to release its report by July 1.
Cahill, in a letter to the committee, said he had opposed cameras in criminal cases before, but that his experience in Chauvin’s case changed his opinion, and he now believes they should be presumptively allowed, subject to the trial judge’s discretion.
Hennepin County Judge Regina Chu, who presided over Potter’s trial, told the Star Tribune in an interview that both the Potter and Chauvin trials convinced her that cameras can be present without being disruptive.
“I forgot they were even there,” Chu told the newspaper.

IPL 2022: Williamson’s measured fifty seals 8-wicket win for Hyderabad over Gujarat
Navi Mumbai, April 11: A measured half-century by captain Kane Williamson, after their bowlers applied brakes in the last five overs, sealed Sunrisers Hyderabad’s eight-wicket win over Gujarat Titans at the D.Y Patil Stadium to record their second successive win of the tournament.
After the bowlers conceded 44 runs and took three wickets in the last five overs to restrict Gujarat to 162/7, Williamson led the chase with patience and precision while making 57 off 46 balls, laced with two fours and four sixes. He found support from Abhishek Sharma (42) and Nicholas Pooran doing the finishing job with an unbeaten 34.
The chase began with Williamson beaten on the inside edge off Mohammed Shami and was struck on pads. Hardik Pandya consulted keeper Matthew Wade, but eventually didn’t go for review. But replays later showed Williamson would have been out.
Hyderabad’s slow start of 11 runs in the first four overs changed dramatically with Williamson pulling Shami for a four and six off the first two balls of the fifth over. Sharma took on Lockie Ferguson, smashing four glorious boundaries through off-side as Hyderabad took 31 runs off the last two overs of power-play.
Sharma slammed Rashid Khan for boundaries through extra cover and backward point. But the leg-spinner bounced back by breaking the 64-run opening stand as Sharma holed out to deep mid-wicket.
Williamson, who was on 27 off 31 balls till the 12th over, slammed Pandya for pulled back-to-back sixes to take 16 runs off the over. After hitting a six off Rahul Tewatia, Rahul Tripathi had to retire hurt due to muscle cramps in his leg.
But it didn’t deter Hyderabad as Williamson reached his fifty in 42 balls by moving across and using the pace of the ball off Ferguson to scoop over short fine leg. He followed it up with a crisp drive through the gap between cover and mid-off before he skied an off-cutter from Pandya to mid-on.
Ferguson’s horror night went worse as he dropped a tough chance of Nicholas Pooran off his own bowling. He was then punished by the left-handed batter for straying twice in his line, flicked through fine leg for four followed by a picked-up six over fine leg.
Pooran then went for a pull off Shami but the top-edge ‘ailed over Wade’s head for four before Aiden Markram levelled the scores with a crisp drive down the ground. Pooran finished off the chase with a majestic pull off Nalkande over backward square leg fence to end Gujarat’s clean slate in the tournament.
Earlier, Pandya’s unbeaten fifty and a quickfire 35 by Abhinav Manohar took Gujarat to a respectable total. Pandya and Manohar joined forces to stitch a stand of 50 off 32 balls for the fifth wicket while Bhuvneshwar Kumar and T Natarajan took two wickets each.
Kumar had an uncharacteristic opening over, leaking 17 runs, including five wides twice. But he returned in his next over to take out Shubman Gill, who mistimed an uppish drive and was snapped by Tripathi diving to his left at cover and stuck his hand out to complete a one-handed stunning catch.
Wade and Sai Sudharsan hit two boundaries each but Natarajan took out the latter, forcing him to drive off a slower delivery, easily caught by mid-off. Pandya closed the powerplay with a drive past long-off for four as power-play yielded 51/2.
Struck on the helmet by a sharp bouncer from Umran Malik, Pandya shook off the blow by slamming Malik for back-to-back fours. Malik ended the over by trapping Wade plumb lbw from around the wicket, going past the attempted flick. Soon after, David Miller fell, finding mid-wicket off Jansen.
Pandya continued to find boundaries, clobbering Markram over deep mid-wicket followed by timing his flick well past mid-on off Malik. He got support from Manohar, who fetched three boundaries off the outside edge while slamming a six over cow corner and collecting two fours through off-side.
Manohar had luck on his side, being dropped at 21, 32, 33 before running out of luck when he holed out to long-off off Kumar. Natarajan provided an excellent finish by taking out Tewatia and Khan in quick succession. In between the two dismissals, Pandya brought up his fifty to take Gujarat to a respectable total, which wasn’t enough to avoid their first loss in IPL 2022.
Brief scores: Gujarat Titans 162/7 in 20 overs (Hardik Pandya 50 not out, Abhinav Manohar 35; T Natarajan 2/34, Bhuvneshwar Kumar 2/37) lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad (Kane Williamson 57, Abhishek Sharma 42; Hardik Pandya 1/27, Rashid Khan 1/28)

The CJ’s directive was contained in a circular issued to the courts and judges.
Chief Justice urges Judges to call cases of senior lawyers first
Ghana’s Chief Justice, Kwasi Anin Yeboah, is urging judges to as much as possible give preference to senior lawyers for their cases to be heard first in court before the juniors.
Justice Anin Yeboah explains his office has noted with concern the practice where this tradition is not being adhered to any longer.
He insists obeying such a tradition affords junior lawyers the opportunity to learn from their seniors.
The directive by the CJ has received mixed reaction from Ghanaians on social media.
Below is the circular;
To all trial court judges:
Observing age-old traditions of the BAR in calling cases in court
The Legal Profession, as we know, is steeped in traditions and ceremonies.
One of the traditions observed is the practice of calling cases of persons whose names are on the roll of Lawyers, in order of seniority of enrolment, notwithstanding the notion of equality at the Bar.
This practice, among other benefits, affords the young Lawyer the opportunity to learn from Seniors to whom they would not ordinarily be exposed to; thus, enriching the whole legal training experience beyond what is taught in Chambers and other places of work.
It has recently been drawn to my attention, that some Trial Court Judges are not observing this practice in court.
Whilst the right to call a case out of turn is not absolute and is exercisable subject to the convenience of the court, for the reasons mentioned above, I would request all Trial Court Judges to strictly adhere to this age-old tradition and resort to inviting applications from Seniors first.
I hope I can count on your cooperation.

This writer learned one of life’s most important lessons as a terrified second lieutenant at U.S. Air Force Flight School in 1989.
It was my third straight hour of landing practice, and as my airspeed waivered dangerously, my instructor bellowed, "Stop staring at the gauges; if you want your wings, you have to keep your eyes moving in all directions!"
Sage advice, and it can be applied to many areas, including the perilous navigation of war-fueled geopolitics. If leaders stay focused on the fighting in Ukraine without considering the global crises which could likely result, we will find ourselves at the precipice of economic depression, famine, and yes — World War III.
If you read the mainstream media, you might believe that Putin’s bloodlust to restore the Russian empire has broken on the shoals of an incompetent, unprofessional military.
That’s true to a certain extent, and we must continue to support the valiant Ukrainians by highlighting Putin’s war crimes.
But the threat to global order is far from over.
Western leaders prematurely declared as the fighting began that they had punished Putin with "the toughest sanctions ever."
Today, we know that Putin had anticipated these sanctions years ago when he designed his campaign. In 2018, when Russia gave up U.S. treasuries for 2100 metric tons of gold, western leaders should have paid attention.
They didn’t.
The same leaders aren’t paying attention now. Europe is dependent on Russian oil and gas, and the U.S. and Canada refuse to ramp up production.
What’s more, on the chess board of geopolitics, Putin has declared "check" by demanding payment in rubles. Those "tough" sanctions look decidedly weaker when European nations must break them by purchasing rubles from Russian banks.
The new, gold-backed ruble has predictably recovered from its crash, following the announcement of the sanctions.
Just as worrying, Russia’s grain and fertilizer muscle gives Putin the leverage to threaten the west with a potential famine, which would last years.
Soaring energy and grain prices are destabilizing the Mideast at an astonishing pace.
Turkey has 54% runaway inflation, while Egypt and other nations are devaluing their currencies to afford grain imports. Simultaneously, and in concert with Russia and Syria, a resurgent Iran is waging proxy wars against Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
In Israel, the security situation has grown dire with Russian-Syrian-Iranian forces in the north, Tehran’s nuclear program to the east, and now, a questionable ally in the United States. D.C. insists on pursuing a fool’s errand by relying on Russia to broker a favorable non-proliferation deal with Iran while offering Ayatollah Ali Khamenei billions of dollars.
China presents additional threats.
Despite China’s repeated declarations of neutrality, its president, Xi Jinping worked with Putin to delay the invasion until after the Beijing Olympics.
Xi is especially desperate for a foreign distraction considering his country’s stalling growth curve, financial collapse, and possible famine. Now, Russian’s Ukraine atrocities threaten Chinese exports as well.
Is discounted Russian oil and gas a consolation prize?
Taiwan sees the West’s limited support of Ukraine and worries that China will go after Taipei next.
And in the distance, we see that North Korea has resumed its weapons programs and aggression towards South Korea.
When we look beyond Kyiv, it’s clear that this war could spiral into fighting and famine the likes of which the world has never experienced. If we focus on the horrors in Ukraine to the exclusion of these other threats, we will miss the bigger picture. Guaranteed.
Landing this plane safely and returning to the prosperity and peace we knew not so long ago will require holding our leaders accountable for the choices they make.
As my pugnacious flight school instructor instilled in me all those years ago, there is no margin for error.

While car and motorcycle racing are both extremely engaging and exciting to watch (and participate in), it can be argued that motorcycle racing is a lot more physically taxing, and requires racers to be in significantly better shape than their four-wheeled counterparts. Having been on the occasional track day on both two and four wheels, I can certainly say that I was a lot more winded after a few laps on my bike as against my car.
That being said, it’s becoming a pretty popular next-step among retired motorcycle racers to take the helm of a sports car or race car and compete in various races. We’ve seen it with Valentino Rossi and the GT World Challenge Europe, as well as Dani Pedrosa, who’s now racing in select races in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe. This time around, another MotoGP legend is setting foot back in the circuit aboard a four-wheeled race machine.
This is none other than Jorge Lorenzo. Following his retirement in 2019, Lorenzo didn’t exactly fall out of the spotlight. He continued making appearances in the MotoGP paddocks on numerous occasions. He continues to maintain an active Instagram profile wherein he keeps his fans updated with his life—particularly when it comes to his partnership with electric two-wheeler manufacturer Super Soco. Now, the Italian ex-motorcycle racing champ is trying his hand in auto racing in the Porsche Super cup in Italy. He’s set to make a guest start in Imola aboard the VIP car. He’ll then move on to compete in the Italian Porsche Carrera Cup.
Jorge Lorenzo, who has a total of five MotoGP World Championships under his belt, is no stranger to the highly competitive racing atmosphere, and will surely adapt well in the cockpit of a powerful Porsche 911 race car. He’s set to race in Imola, from April 22 to 24. The Porsche Supercup is the highest level one-make racing series of the German manufacturer, and is in fact a part of the Formula 1 supporting program. The race cars consist of prepped Porsche 911 GT3s, and pump out approximately 515 horsepower.
Commenting on his new project aboard Porsche's flagship race car, Jorge Lorenzo recounts on the exciting times he had as a racer. In an article by Speedweek, Lorenzo expressed his excitement towards the racing series stating, “After the end of my MotoGP career, I missed the competition. So I was looking for a discipline that wasn't quite as risky as motorcycle racing. Last year I did some virtual races in the esports version of the Porsche Carrera Cup Italia. Switching to the real Porsche 911 GT3 Cup was the next step.”

IL Dems Pass Law That Private Businesses Have to Advertise for Them or Pay $500/Day in Fines
Lest residents not be sufficiently grateful for their actions, Illinois politicians are trying to force retailers to post signs informing the public of some “tax relief” actions that were taken as part of the state’s new budget.
Legislation demands, on pain of being fined, that gas stations post stickers on pumps proclaiming that a gas tax increase that would have taken effect July 1 has been scrapped, according to The Center Square.
The Illinois gas tax had been expected to increase about 2.2 cents per gallon. The state suspended the increase for six months in a year when all the seats in the Democrat-dominated legislature are up for grabs. Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker is also facing re-election.
Scot Bertram of Hillsdale College said the provision was included in a budget passed around 3 a.m. Saturday.
At around 3am Saturday morning, Illinois Democrats passed a budget that includes provisions that force private businesses, under penalty of large fines, to take part in free election-year advertising for the Governor and his party. pic.twitter.com/S6FPRZloLw
— Scot Bertram (@ScotBertram) April 10, 2022
The stickers are required to say, “As of July 1, 2022, the State of Illinois has suspended the inflation adjustment to the motor fuel tax through December 31, 2022. The price on this pump should reflect the suspension of the tax increase.”
Anyone not posting the sticker could be fined $500 a day. That comes to $65,000 if a holdout refuses to post a sticker between now and Election Day in November, the report said.
Republican state Rep. Mark Batinick said the burdensome gas tax undercuts any gratitude that residents might feel.
“So is the sticker going to say, ‘Hey, gas is 50 cents more a gallon over here across the border or across the river, it would have been 52.2 cents more, but here’s a sticker to say it’s only 50 cents more’?” Batinick said, according to the Center Square.
Josh Sharp of the Illinois Fuel and Retail Association said the sticker demand is unconstitutional.
“This industry won’t be forced into offering free election-year advertising for the Governor,” Sharp said in a statement.
“Ordering businesses to take part in speech that is compelled by the government under the threat of fines and criminal penalties is unwise and unconstitutional,” he said.
Sharp said he expected retailers would sue rather than submit to the state.
In 2019, Illinois’ gas tax was doubled, with the provision of an inflationary increase after that. It was that increase that the legislators put on hold.
Grocery stores also have to proclaim the wonders of state government under the legislation, the Center Square reported.
Stores would be required to print on receipts “to the extent feasible” that the state suspended the 1 percent grocery tax for a year.
The required message reads, “From July 1, 2022, through July 1, 2023, the State of Illinois sales tax on groceries is 0%.”
Bigger notice is welcome as an alternative, according to the report.
The legislation said that “if it is not feasible for the retailer to include the statement on any cash register tape, receipt, invoice, or sales ticket issued to customers, then the retailer shall post the statement on a sign that is clearly visible to customers.
“The sign shall be no smaller than 4 inches by 8 inches.”

Deputy Leader of the Opposition and Mangalore MLA U T Khader on Monday appealed to people to foil attempts of communal forces aimed at disrupting harmony in society.
He urged people to have patience and not get provoked by any attempts that aim at disrupting harmony.
The BJP is trying to divert the attention of people from issues haunting the state by supporting such untoward incidents, he said.
The CM has remained silent on issues affecting harmony in society, he charged.
The government should take stern action against those irrespective of caste, creed and religion who are engaged in provoking the community, he urged.
The chief minister, by insisting on stern action, should have instilled confidence in people. About 95% of people in the state want to live in peace and are not supporting anything that destroys the secular fabric of the society, said Khader.
A few members of Hindu outfits vandalising four stalls owned by Muslim merchants at Nuggikeri Anjaneya Temple premises on the outskirts of Dharwad was condemned by all including the temple priest, he said.
Such incidents will backfire on the government in future, he warned and added that goons are ruling society.
‘Sand woes continue’
The Deputy Leader of the Opposition said that owing to the failure of the government to take a clear stand on sand extraction in the coastal belt, the common man was suffering in the district.
The row over the shortage of sand has remained unsolved in the district, he said.
“The poor are not able to get sand at an affordable price. When the Congress government was in power, the sand was sold through the sandbazaar app and the price of sand was fixed at Rs 5,000 per load. Now, there is a threefold increase in price,” he charged.
The permit for sand extraction in CRZ areas ended in September. No steps were taken to renew permits so far. As just a month is left before the arrival of the monsoon, extraction of sand will be once again affected, he said.
Owing to the delay in sand extraction in CRZ areas, the state exchequer is incurring losses in the absence of royalty. The government should reveal the amount of royalty collected in 2016-17 and this year from sand extraction, said Khader.
Though 33 blocks were identified in non-CRZ areas for extraction of sand in the district, tenders had not been approved, he added.
BJP MLAs had failed to raise the issue of the shortage of sand in the district. The MLAs are only engaged in submitting memorandums to the chief minister, he alleged.

(NewsNation) — Philadelphia is reinstating its mask mandate for indoor public spaces after a recent rise in new COVID-19 cases, the city’s health department announced Monday.
Health Commissioner Dr. Cheryl Bettigole said confirmed coronavirus cases in the city increased by more than 50% in a 10-day span, the threshold at which the city’s guidelines call for people to wear masks indoors.
Philadelphia is now averaging 142 new cases per day. Bettigole said the recent increase in infections indicates the city might be at the beginning of a new wave, and city officials are seeking to stay ahead of it by requiring indoor masking.
Health inspectors will start to enforce the mask mandate at city businesses starting Monday, April 18, the city’s health department tweeted.
Check back for updates as this story is developing.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Relatives of five of the eight people who were shot and killed last year at an Indianapolis FedEx warehouse by a former employee sued the shipping giant and a security company on Monday, accusing them of negligence and failing to ensure that the workplace was safe.
The federal lawsuit, which names as defendants the FedEx Corporation, three of its operating units and Securitas Security Services USA, alleges that gunman Brandon Scott Hole, 19, had “exhibited emotional and mental instability on multiple instances” before the April 15, 2021, shooting.
The suit contends that the defendants “knew or should have known of Hole’s potentially violent and dangerous propensities, which were reasonably likely to result in injuries to himself and others.”
The families’ complaint, filed in U.S. District Court in Indianapolis, seeks unspecified damages.
FedEx said in a statement that it was aware of the lawsuit and was reviewing the allegations. The company added that it continues “to mourn the loss of our team members in the senseless tragedy."
Securitas Security Services USA, which the complaint says provided security at the warehouse, didn't immediately reply to a message left Monday seeking comment.
The plaintiffs are relatives of shooting victims Amarjeet Johal, 66; Amarjit Sekhon, 48; Jasvinder Kaur, 50; John Weisert, 74; and Karli Smith, 19.
The families of the three other people killed — Matthew R Alexander, 32; Samaria Blackwell, 19; and Jaswinder Singh, 68 — are not involved in the suit.
Indianapolis police and federal authorities said at a July 2021 news conference that Hole, a former FedEx employee, acted alone and used the attack as an act of “suicidal murder.” Four of the victims were Sikh, but authorities said the attack was not racially or ethnically motivated and that Hole believed he would “demonstrate his masculinity and capability” while fulfilling a final desire to experience killing people.
Hole was able to legally purchase the two rifles he used in the shooting, even after his mother called police in March of 2020 to say her son might attempt “suicide by cop.” Police seized a pump-action shotgun from Hole, then 18, when responding to his mother’s call.
Lawyers for the victims have said the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department and the Marion County prosecutor’s office failed to follow Indiana’s red flag law when they decided not to file a case with the courts to suspend Hole's gun rights in March of 2020.

(NEXSTAR) – The very first Taco Bell location was no bigger than a two-car garage. It didn’t have indoor seating, it didn’t have a drive-thru, and it certainly didn’t have Doritos Locos Tacos, supreme or otherwise.
It did, however, have several menu items that are nowhere to be found among Taco Bell’s current offerings, including a “chili burger.”
Glen Bell, the chain’s founder, opened his first Taco Bell in Downey, California, in 1962. Bell had previously operated a number of fast-food restaurants throughout the ‘50s — including Bell’s Drive-In and Taco Tia — but he was envisioning something altogether different for Taco Bell. Specifically, he had an idea for a small walk-up taco stand surrounded by “shops, live music and fire pits,” according to Taco Bell.
The resulting restaurant, with its fire pits and a live-performance area in the back, bore little resemblance to the Taco Bells of today. There was also a walk-up window — and only a walk-up window — where customers could order whatever their hearts desired, so long as they desired one of five menu items.
The earliest official Taco Bell menu offered frijoles, tostados, chili burgers, burritos (red or green) and tacos, all for 19 cents apiece. Each of these items stuck around well into the ‘70s, while Bell and his franchisees went about expanding the chain throughout California and beyond.
Of course, there were a few changes along the way. In a photo of the restaurant’s overhead menu circa the early ‘70s, prices had jumped to a whopping 25 cents. “Tostados” also became “tostadas,” and “chili burgers” gave way to “Bellburgers,” which were described as having ground beef, lettuce, tomato and a “famous” Taco Bell sauce.
Many of these items persisted for decades in one form or another, but today only tacos and burritos remain from the first Taco Bell menu, and even those have evolved from their original incarnations.
But not everything has changed. The original Taco Bell restaurant, which closed in 1986, is still intact after being saved from demolition and moved to the Taco Bell headquarters in Irvine, California. (Good luck ordering a chili burger, though.)

Money mirage: Russia’s rouble rebound is not quite what it seems
By Reuters
Six weeks after Russia sent troops into Ukraine, the rouble has staged an apparently extraordinary recovery, but all is not what it seems and the exchange rate used in everyday transactions is sometimes very different to the official one.
The rouble’s swift rebound on the Moscow Exchange to levels seen before February 24 is being touted in state media and by some government officials as evidence that authorities have got a firm grip on the country’s finances despite being battered by the toughest Western sanctions ever.
“Our economy appears to be resilient to Western sanctions, the rouble is firming visibly,” a state TV presenter said on Friday.
The rouble rallied past 72 to the dollar on Friday , its strongest level so far this year, heading away from a record low of 121.52 it hit on March 10. Analysts polled by Reuters in late March expected the rouble to trade at 97.50 to the greenback in 12 months’ time.
But anyone who tries to buy foreign currency online at a bank or, illegally, at a foreign exchange booth, or who buys goods and services online denominated in foreign currencies will find the actual rate considerably worse.
And the rouble’s buying power has been sharply eroded as companies hike prices for goods, especially ones produced outside Russia whose future supply is in doubt due to the sanctions.
“I used to buy cans of Dutch-made baby formula for 2,500 roubles before February 24,” said Marina, a Moscow resident, with her newborn baby. “Now the same can costs 4,500 roubles while boxes of kasha (a porridge-based drink for children) have gone up to 100 from 64 roubles for a 500-ml box.”
Since February 24, food prices have soared, taking the year-to-date increase in prices for cabbage and carrots to 85 per cent and 54 per cent, respectively, according to statistics service Rosstat.
Prices of imported goods jumped even higher, with prices for some foreign-made cars more than doubling.
High inflation has been the key concern among households for years as it dents living standards, a fall which will be aggravated by the deepest economic contraction since 2009, a Reuters poll suggests.
Despite remarkable rouble gains on the Moscow Exchange, banks are offering to sell dollars and euros at different rates.
A survey by state polling agency VTsIOM from February showed that 64 per cent of people in Russia had no savings.
Emergency capital controls helped the rouble rebound in Moscow where trading volumes dwindled compared to before the Kremlin started what it calls its “special military operation” in Ukraine.
Nobel-prize winning economist Paul Krugman has said the rouble has become a crucial target for Russia to defend, “not so much because it’s all important but because it’s so clearly visible”.
“So defending the rouble, never mind the real economy, makes sense as a propaganda strategy,” Krugman said in an op-ed in the New York Times early this month.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov has shrugged off Western allegations that the firming rouble does not reflect the actual economic situation.
Risks of a strong rouble
But the currency’s official appreciation comes with risks. It makes selling commodities abroad for foreign currency less profitable since the revenues Russia ultimately gets from such exports are mostly rouble-denominated.
That could put pressure on the already crisis-stricken budget at a time when Russia is cut off from global capital markets and has raised lending rates sharply.
“Further firming in the rouble will tear the budget apart,” said Evgeny Suvorov, economist at CentroCreditBank, adding that rouble gains could deprive the budget of funds needed to support companies, banks and households.
In a sign that authorities are concerned about the rouble appreciation, something that surprised many experts, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said that his ministry and the central bank were aiming to make the rouble more predictable.
Market volatility has spiked in recent weeks. The supply-demand balance was disrupted as authorities, seeking to cap losses in the rouble, obliged export-focused companies to convert 80 per cent of their FX revenue into roubles, which became the main driving power for the once free-floating currency.
At the same time, demand for FX was artificially suppressed. Russia banned cash purchases of dollars and euros, introduced a 12 per cent commission on buying foreign currency online, and set the maximum amount that an individual could withdraw from their bank account at $US10,000 until September 9.
“People grew cold towards forex due to commissions and restrictions on its withdrawal from the country,” said Maxim Biryukov, senior analyst at Alfa Capital brokerage.
The finance ministry told Reuters that the recent sharp strengthening impacted oil and gas revenues but did not pose a risk to Russia’s fiscal policy.
The central bank did not reply to a Reuters request for comment on the rouble rate.
Inflation issue
In theory, a stronger rouble could help rein in inflation that is on track to spike to 24 per cent, its highest since 1999, according to analysts polled by Reuters. The central bank targets 4 per cent.
But consumer prices keep on rising due to disruptions to imports and a lack of foreign components, said Gazprombank economist Pavel Biryukov, who forecasts annual inflation at 27 per cent in mid-2022.
Despite remarkable rouble gains on the Moscow Exchange, banks are offering to sell dollars and euros at different rates. On Friday, the largest lender Sberbank was selling dollars and euros online for 79.8 and 85.1 roubles, respectively, compared to an official rate of 76.25 and 83.29.
Some exchange offices are still selling cash forex for roubles despite the official ban, but at a different price.
Within a short walking distance of the Kremlin, an exchange office behind an unmarked door offered to sell cash dollars for 93 roubles and euros for 103 roubles on Thursday.
A man behind bulletproof glass in the office explained the gap between its prices and the rouble rate on the Moscow Exchange by “the need to make some money”.
Russia’s tourism industry also has a different exchange rates for those with enough money to holiday abroad. The euro-rouble conversion rate to buy trips to Turkey was at 85.5 on Friday, according to a Coral Travel agency in Moscow.

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Concerns that war in Europe or fickle weather might hold back one of America's most valuable fisheries appear to have been unfounded.
Baby eels, also called elvers, are one of the most lucrative wild fish species in the U.S. Maine is the only state in the country with a sizeable baby eel fishing industry, and the price for the tiny fish is back up to pre-pandemic levels this spring.
Fishermen are selling the baby eels for $2,110 per pound at docks, the Maine Department of Marine Resources reported Monday. They've also already run through more than four-fifths of their quota for the season, which runs from late March to early June.
The eels are so valuable because they're needed by Asian aquaculture companies, which raise them to maturity to be used as food. Value for the eels sank to $525 per pound in 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic upset markets, before rebounding to more than three times that last year.
Members of the industry said before this season started that they feared the international seafood supply chain could be jeopardized by war or renewed COVID-19 lockdowns in Asia.
The industry does indeed face challenges, such as the closing of the Hong Kong border at the start of the season, but it's experiencing strong demand and high catch, said Mitchell Feigenbaum, an elver dealer.
“Eels move slower, makes the business riskier, but the underlying demand is strong, which is good news for harvesters,” Feigenbaum said. “The catches came very early this season and in numbers that we have not seen since 2012."
Fishermen harvest the baby eels with nets from rivers and streams in Maine. They've been aided by favorable weather this year. The banks of the Presumpscot River, which flows through the state's largest city of Portland, has been flanked by fishermen with fyke nets in recent weeks.
The eels are part of the worldwide supply chain for sushi and Japanese food. Some return to America, where they are served in Japanese restaurants in dishes such as kabayaki.

The EF3 tornado that ripped through Hamilton County two years ago destroyed hundreds of homes in it's path. It's a day that local State Farm Agent Jonathan Hubler says he'll never forget.
2 years ago, he spent Easter night sheltered in his bathroom with his 3-year old daughter with no power to their home. Thankfully, their home was not damaged in the tornado, but they went without power for over a week.
He knew going into work the next morning, it was going to be busy, but it was worse than he could've ever imagined.
"When I came in that morning by the time our phones cut on at 9, we already had 75 claims that were filed the night before," said Hubler.
Hubler said nothing could've prepared his staff for the volume of calls they received. In total his office had 475 households affected by the tornado, 30 of them were complete loses.
Because of downed power lines, Hubler said calls and text messages were nearly impossible. With the roads littered with debris driving was also a hassle, so he parked his car and started walking to his client's homes.
"I was walking probably 8 to 10 miles in steps, just because it was actually easier to get around on foot than it was driving and so getting the checks and getting them in hotels which filled up quickly, was my number one priority."
He recalls how eerie it felt as he walked through the storm ruined neighborhoods.
"I literally just remember stopping and looking around and it still gives me chills to this day, I did not see another human being," explained Hubler
He and other insurance agents spent two weeks going out and helping people in any way they could, bringing essential items and food.
The tornado was a devastation that Hubler hopes he'll never have to go through again, but he says there was one bright spot in all of the darkness.
"Just the community feeling of everybody coming together to be there for each other, I will say that's the one thing I saw, you know I've always heard Chattanooga strong, but you've really kind of felt that, that day."
Hubler said it was also an eye opening moment and gave a life lesson he'll always remember. He stresses the importance of people sitting down with their insurance agent and going over their coverage to make sure they are fully protected and know exactly what their paying for.

HONG KONG (AP) — Lawyers for Hong Kong media mogul and pro-democracy activist Jimmy Lai are asking the United Nations to investigate his imprisonment and multiple criminal charges as “legal harassment” that punish him for speaking out.
The publisher of the now-defunct Apple Daily newspaper was one of the most prominent activists arrested in Hong Kong’s crackdown on virtually all political criticism since mass pro-democracy protests in 2019.
The crackdown continued early Monday with the arrest of another veteran journalist, Allan Au Ka-lun, a teaching consultant who’d worked for a number of Hong Kong media outlets.
The actions by Lai’s lawyers in Britain followed that country’s announcement last month it would withdraw its judges from Hong Kong’s top court because keeping them there would “legitimize oppression” in the former British colony.
Lai, 74, has been charged under Hong Kong’s sweeping national security law and is serving 20 months in prison. His assets have been frozen and the raft of legal cases against him include four separate criminal prosecutions related to attending and joining various protests, his legal team at Doughty Street Chambers in the U.K. said in a statement.
Lai faces “the risk of spending the rest of his life in prison simply for speaking out, and for seeking to defend freedom of the press, democracy and the rule of law in Hong Kong,” Lai’s counsel, Caoilfhionn Gallagher, said in the statement.
In a follow-up email, Gallagher said the appeal had been filed with the U.N. special rapporteurs for freedom of opinion and expression, counter-terrorism and human rights, rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association, and human rights defenders.
“We are awaiting a response,” she wrote.
Lai’s son, Sebastien Lai, was quoted as urging U.N. special rapporteurs to investigate Chinese and Hong Kong authorities’ actions against Hong Kong residents.
While the U.N. has a number of special rapporteurs, their powers are limited mainly to seeking information from government agencies and possibly seeking real steps to end violations.
Hong Kong authorities had no immediate comment on the request. When Britain withdrew its judges, China reacted furiously, accusing Britain of flagrant interference and harm to Hong Kong’s judicial system.
Police issued a brief statement on the arrest of Au, saying a 54-year-old man had been arrested for “conspiracy to publish seditious publication” and was being detained for further investigation.
The national security law that was imposed by Beijing to override local opposition defines sedition in extremely broad terms, permitting authorities to punish almost all open criticism of the government. Those caught in its net include four people arrested last week for clapping in court.
Au had been a teaching consultant at Chinese University’s journalism school and had previously worked for Hong Kong media outlets TVB and RTHK. He had also written a column for outspoken pro-democracy platform Stand News, which shut down last year after police raided it and arrested staff.
In a statement, the Hong Kong Journalists Association said Au had been a mentor to young journalists and expressed its “deep concern” his arrest would “further damage the freedom of the press in Hong Kong.”
“We urge the police to explain the case as soon as possible, and at the same time request the government to protect the freedom of the press and speech enjoyed by Hong Kong citizens in accordance with the Basic Law,” it said, referring to Hong Kong’s mini-constitution under which it returned to Chinese control.

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — A Polish government special commission has reinforced its earlier allegations that the 2010 plane crash that killed President Lech Kaczynski and 95 others in Russia was the result of Moscow’s assassination plan.
The latest of the commission’s reports, released Monday, alleges that an intentional detonation of planted explosives caused the April 10, 2010 crash of Soviet-made Tu-154M plane that killed Kaczynski, the first lady and 94 other government and armed forces figures as well as many prominent Poles.
Their deaths were the result of an “act of unlawful interference by the Russian side,” the commission’s head Antoni Macierewicz told a news conference.
“The main and indisputable proof of the interference was an explosion in the left wing … followed by an explosion in the plane’s center,” said Macierewicz, who in 2015-2018 served as defense minister in Poland’s right-wing government.
He denied that any mistakes were made by the Polish pilots or crew members, despite bad weather at the time of the crash.
The report repeats many previous allegations made by the commission, appointed by the government whose key figure is the main ruling Law and Justice party leader, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, the twin of the late president.
It comes at a time when Russia has unleashed a war on Poland’s neighbor Ukraine, and among the current tense relations between Warsaw and Moscow. Poland supports Ukraine in its struggle against Russia and is calling for very tough sanctions on Moscow for its Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine.
The latest report once again drums up hostility toward Russia among some Poles, chiefly supporters of the nationalist government, it what seems to be an effort to consolidate the voter base of the Law and Justice party, which was founded by the Kaczynski twins in 2001.
Suspicions are additionally fuelled by Russia’s refusal to return the wreckage, which has complicated Poland’s investigation.
Earlier, two separate reports by Polish and Russian experts on aviation incidents said the crash on approach in dense fog to the Smolensk airport, which did not have sophisticated aviation equipment, was the result of human errors made in adverse weather conditions.
They found no proof of foul play.

People are 'overwhelmed' by the number of streaming options, Nielsen survey finds
Anyone with a streaming platform can vouch for the wide variety and the sheer volume of television and movie options available today. And according to new data from media research firm Nielsen, people are feeling overwhelmed by all the choices.
A report released this month, which compiled results from a Nielsen survey of nearly 1,400 U.S. adults who currently use streaming services, found that many feel inundated by all the content. Nearly half (46%) said it’s harder to find the video content that they want to watch "because there are too many streaming services available."
And this checks out — as the amount of content available today on different streaming platforms is staggering and only continues to grow. In December 2019, there were just over 646,000 unique program titles across U.S. traditional TV and streaming services. As of February 2022, that number had grown to more than 817,000, according to Gracenote, a Nielsen company.
RELATED: Oscars 2022: Where to stream ‘CODA’ and what our critics thought
Streaming adoption and usage increased during the COVID-19 pandemic when many were forced to stay home with little to do beyond watching TV and movies. In an average week, U.S. audiences watch almost 170 billion minutes of video content, up from just over 143 billion a year ago, according to Nielsen.
Furthermore, the number of people who paid for three or more streaming services continued to grow over the past three years. In 2019, 8% said they paid for four or more platforms and by 2022, that figure jumped to 18%, according to Nielsen.
Roughly 7% paid for six or more streaming platforms in 2022.
These findings may also continue to climb, as 93% of Americans in one of Nielsen’s recent custom surveys said they planned to either increase their paid streaming services or make no change to their existing plans.
The love of streaming services wasn’t specific to a particular age group or other demographic, Nielsen said in the report. Only one in 20 people said they had negative feelings about their streaming experiences, and more than two-thirds (69%) said they didn’t cancel any services in the past year.
"Making it easy for audiences to find new content they’ll love is key. That way viewers don’t get stuck aimlessly scrolling or reverting to half-watching a stale, yet familiar choice and disengaging," Nielsen said in the report.
It noted how platforms should apply "hyper-detailed video descriptors" to content catalogs to help crystalize the storyline and give better context to the essence of the show or movie.
Almost two-thirds (64%) of those surveyed said they wished there was a bundled video streaming service that could allow them "to choose as few or as many video streaming services that they wanted, more like channels."
Nielsen said there is growing industry awareness about the overwhelmed feelings, and some companies have bundled traditional and streaming offerings, such as Xfinity and Apple TV.
Last month, Verizon announced its new +play platform, which also aims to centralize streaming options for its customers and allow them to purchase and manage some of their favorite subscriptions at no additional cost. The platform involves partnerships with Netflix, Peloton, Disney+ and other streamers, the company said.
"The audience will steer the future of the streaming landscape, and the media industry can help consumers in their media journeys by leveraging data to ensure they never get lost along the way," Nielsen concluded in its report.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Trial opened Monday in Florida’s opioid epidemic lawsuit against the Walgreens pharmacy chain, which state officials accuse of prioritizing profits over health by improperly dispensing millions of powerful painkillers that caused tens of thousands of deaths.
The trial, in Pasco County north of Tampa, comes after other defendants in the Florida lawsuit including the CVS drug store chain settled for an estimated $870 million. The state could seek similar massive damages from Walgreens in the jury trial expected to last a few weeks.
OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma has a tentative nationwide deal that includes $6 billion in cash from members of the Sackler family who own the company. In all, settlements, civil and criminal penalties around the country since 2007 have totaled over $45 billion, according to an Associated Press tally.
In Florida, the state’s case hinges on accusations that as Walgreens dispensed more than 4.3 billion total opioid pills in Florida from May 2006 to June 2021, more than half contained one or more easily recognized red flags for abuse, fraud and addiction that the company should have noticed and acted upon.
“The evidence will show Walgreens knowingly profited from the opioid crisis,” said attorney Jim Webster for the state in an opening statement, which was attended by Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody. “Walgreens wasn’t just greedy. It was fueling the opioid crisis that was killing people.”
Walgreens is based in Deerfield, Illinois, and operates more than 9,000 stores in all 50 states, according to the company website. About 820 of those locations are in Florida.
Walgreens attorney Steve Derringer told jurors they should focus on how manufacturers such as Purdue Pharma misled pharmacies on opioid addictive properties. He also noted that Florida did little as the opioid epidemic arose, particularly the predatory “pill mills” that proliferated in the state before a crackdown finally ended them.
“Walgreens had nothing to do with any of that,” Derringer said in his opening statement. “They (drug makers) caused this epidemic by misrepresenting the risks and benefits to pharmacies.”
The opioid epidemic has been linked to more than 500,000 deaths in the U.S. over the past two decades, counting those from prescription painkillers such as OxyContin and generic oxycodone as well as illicit drugs such as heroin and illegally produced fentanyl.
In Florida, Webster said, more than 39,000 Floridians died from opioid abuse or related problems between 1999 and 2020. Walgreens, he said, sold about one of every four opioids in the state over a similar time span often under questionable circumstances, such as a shady doctor, fake prescriptions or huge amounts of drugs obviously far in excess of what was necessary for a given patient.
“Walgreens was the last line of defense,” Webster said. “Walgreens failed its duty to investigate suspicious prescriptions.”
Florida has spent some $14 billion over the last 20 years for multiple opioid-related costs, ranging from criminal justice to drug rehabilitation for addicts to treatment for opioid-addicted infants, Webster said. The state will seek billions of dollars in damages in the Walgreens case.
In the same case, Moody said CVS Health Corp. and CVS Pharmacy Inc. will pay the state $484 million. Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd. agreed to pay $195 million and Allergan PLC more than $134 million.
Florida has previously obtained millions of dollars in opioid settlements involving McKesson Corp., Cardinal Health Inc., Johnson & Johnson Inc. and AmerisourceBergen Corp.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A Minnesota judge will hear arguments Monday on whether to allow live video coverage of the upcoming trial of three former Minneapolis police officers charged with aiding and abetting the murder of George Floyd.
Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill took the rare step of allowing live audiovisual coverage of ex-Officer Derek Chauvin’s murder trial last year, making an exception to the normal rules of Minnesota courts. He cited the need to balance protecting participants from COVID-19 against the constitutional requirement for a public trial.
Now that the U.S. has entered a new phase of living with the coronavirus, Cahill must decide whether to allow the same sort of access for the trial set to begin in June for former Officers Tou Thao, Thomas Lane and J. Alexander Kueng.
A coalition of media organizations, including The Associated Press, that wants Cahill to allow video coverage said in a brief filed Friday that it understood the judge planned to prohibit it. The coalition said it presumed the reasons included defense objections and the judge’s belief that his hands are tied by the normal court rules “absent the extenuating circumstances caused by the pandemic.”
Thao, Lane and Kueng are charged with aiding and abetting both manslaughter and murder when Chauvin used his knee to pin Floyd, a Black man, to the pavement for 9 1/2 minutes on May 25, 2020. Kueng knelt on Floyd’s back, Lane held his legs and Thao kept bystanders back. The killing, which was recorded on video, sparked protests around the world and a national reckoning on race.
Defense attorneys have raised concerns about the willingness of witnesses to testify. Minnesota court rules generally require the consent of all parties for audiovisual coverage of trials, with fewer restrictions for sentencings. Chauvin’s trial was the first in Minnesota to be entirely televised, from jury selection to his murder conviction to his sentencing to 22 1/2 years in prison. People worldwide tuned into the livestreams.
“I think livestreaming that trial enabled people here and around the world to see the inner workings of a system that was handling one of the most important trials of our time,” said Suki Dardarian, senior managing editor and vice president of the Star Tribune of Minneapolis, which is part of the media coalition.
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison’s office initially opposed having cameras in the court for Chauvin’s trial, but now supports them for the other officers’ upcoming trial.
“The Chauvin trial demonstrated the benefits of robust public access to this important case and proved that the Court could successfully navigate the concerns animating the State’s initial opposition to audio and video coverage,” prosecutors wrote last week. “The Court’s commendable transparency inspired public confidence in the proceedings and helped ensure calm in Minneapolis and across the country.”
Due to federal court rules, live video coverage was not allowed for the first trial of Thao, Lane and Kueng this year, when all three were convicted of violating Floyd’s civil rights. Nor was it allowed for Chauvin’s federal case in which he pleaded guilty to civil rights violations. But it was allowed in the December state court trial of former Brooklyn Center Officer Kim Potter in the death of Daunte Wright.
“None of the bad things that critics feared transpired, and we had the huge benefit of giving the public at large an opportunity to observe the proceedings,” said Jane Kirtley, director of the Silha Center for the Study of Media Ethics and Law at the University of Minnesota, another coalition member.
An advisory committee to the Minnesota Supreme Court is considering whether to allow more video coverage of criminal proceedings. It’s due to release its report by July 1.
Cahill, in a letter to the committee, said he had opposed cameras in criminal cases before, but that his experience in Chauvin’s case changed his opinion, and he now believes they should be presumptively allowed, subject to the trial judge’s discretion.
Hennepin County Judge Regina Chu, who presided over Potter’s trial, told the Star Tribune in an interview that both the Potter and Chauvin trials convinced her that cameras can be present without being disruptive.
“I forgot they were even there,” Chu told the newspaper.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – Etsy sellers are going on strike to protest rising seller’s fees.
Etsy announced this year that profits and revenue have exceeded expectations, growing the company’s stock, according to The Verge. However, the company announced the same day that the seller’s fee would be increasing by 30%- from 5 percent to 6.5 percent starting today, April 11.
In response, several Etsy sellers have decided to temporarily close their stores on the site from April 11 to April 18. Sellers are also asking that customers boycott the site during the strike.
Etsy is a global marketplace where small businesses and individuals can create and sell unique and/or handmade items to customers around the world.
Tomorrow, OzarksFirst will interview an Etsy seller from the Ozarks about why she is closing her Etsy store in response to the rising fees.

Kanye West spotted on “baecation” with his girlfriend Chaney Jones after his pal Fivio Foreign gives an update on his mental state.
Chaney Jones, who has been dubbed a Kim Kardashian look-a-like, shared a few photos on her Instagram Story where she captioned them “baecation.” It’s safe to say that she and Kanye West have been going strong for several weeks now even as he breaks from social media to get mental health treatment to become a better human being.
With the release of his long-anticipated body of work dubbed “B.I.B.L.E.”, rapper Fivio Foreign is feeling good and eager to chat about everything happening. That includes his recent work as well as the mental health of fellow rapper Kanye West.
The album dropped on Friday, April 8, and the New York City native, whose real name is Maxie Ryles, is thrilled with what he has produced, especially since feedback since its debut has been good so far from fans and music critics alike. “B.I.B.L.E.” is Fivio’s debut album. The title is an acronym that stands for Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth.
With the release of Kanye West’s Donda album in 2021, Foreign was featured on the song “Off the Grid”, and the “Big Drip” entertainer made it known back then that Kanye West would be the executive producer of his upcoming album. On his March 29th birthday, Fivio announced the album’s official album cover. Shortly after that, he revealed the tracklist, highlighting features with DJ Khaled, Ne-Yo, Yung Bleu, Polo G, and Kanye.
Fivio was also included on Ye’s “Donda 2” with the track “City of God” alongside Alicia Keys, and that single also made its way on to the “B.I.B.L.E.” album. To therefore say that the two men share mutual respect would be a fair statement hence the 32-year- old chose to speak on his friend’s behalf when asked about Ye’s current state of mind, given all that has gone down in recent weeks surrounding Ye’s beef with his ex Kim Kardashian, her boyfriend Pete Davidson as well as his fight to keep his young daughter North West off of the social media platform Tik Tok.
When asked about Ye, Fivio shared on Twitter that the “College Dropout” entertainer was away taking some much-needed rest. “Ye is on an island relaxing clear’n his mind and healing from all the stress of society. He appreciates the support for the album and the response,” he shared.
Over the last few weeks, West has gone on several public rants on social media wherein his emotions have seemed frayed, leading some to be concerned about his ongoing mental health. In the past, he has opened up about his struggles with bipolar disorder, which he was officially diagnosed with in 2018.
The condition is associated with episodes of mood swings ranging from depressive lows to manic highs. In May 2019, Kanye detailed his struggle with bipolar disorder on David Letterman’s Netflix show ‘My Next Guest Needs No Introduction’ wherein he shared what it is like when he has an ‘episode.’
“When you’re in this state, you’re hyper-paranoid about everything. This is my experience, other people have different experiences. Everyone now is an actor. Everything’s a conspiracy. You have this moment where you feel everyone wants to kill you. You pretty much don’t trust anyone. You feel the government is putting chips in your head. You feel you’re being recorded. You feel all these things,” he expressed.

Two dogs killed in Rock County residential fire
CLINTON, Wis. — Two dogs were killed Monday morning in a residential fire in rural Rock County, according to the Rock County Sheriff’s Office.
Crews responded to the 12000 block of East Minkey Road in the town of Bradford around 6:50 a.m. for a report of a house fire. When firefighters got to the scene, they found the house engulfed in flames.
Crews from numerous fire departments, including crews from southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois, eventually responded to the incident.
One occupant safely escaped the fire, but two dogs were ultimately killed by the blaze.
Officials with the Rock County Sheriff’s Office said there’s no evidence of foul play, but the exact cause is still under investigation. Initial damage estimates will likely exceed $140,000.
The Clinton Fire Department and the Rock County Sheriff’s Office are both investigating the incident.

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Sonja Lujan, New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s mother and an advocate for children with disabilities, has died of natural causes. Sonja Lujan was 82.
The governor’s office said in a statement Monday that she died on Sunday. The governor told reporters last week that her mother’s health had declined and that she was in hospice care at the governor’s residence in Santa Fe.
The first-term governor described her mom as “truly one of a kind“ who fought for the best standards of care and refused to back down when she knew more could be done to help children in need.
“Her tenacity and determination in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges has inspired me every single day of my adult life,“ Lujan Grisham said. “She taught me to fight hard — to make sure no one is left behind, that no family is lacking the support they need and deserve.”
Lujan Grisham said that while neither her mother nor father ever ran for political office, they taught her the importance of serving the community. Her mother raised three children, including Lujan Grisham’s sister, Kimberly, who was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor as a toddler and died at 21.
“She became a dedicated advocate for my sister Kimberly and children with disabilities across the country simply because there was no other choice,” Lujan Grisham said.
Sonja Lujan spent her final days surrounded by relatives and the governor said she will be missed dearly.
Sonja Lujan was in an assisted living facility in Albuquerque during the coronavirus pandemic, which was often mentioned by Lujan Grisham. The governor said many of the public health decisions she made at the time were aimed at keeping people like her mother safe.
In a May 2021 post on social media, the governor said that despite the challenges over the past year, she was glad to finally be able to celebrate Mother’s Day with her mom in person. She also acknowledged her mother’s birthday during her state of the state address in January.

HOUSTON (AP) — Optimism abounds for the Houston Rockets despite finishing with the NBA’s worst record for a second straight season.
“We didn’t have the season we wanted to, but we showed glimpses of what we can be,” rookie Jalen Green said. “So, I would hope that all the fans and everyone around us has hope that we’re going to be great soon.”
The Rockets went 20-62 a year after winning just 17 games. But they’re encouraged by the improvement of a rookie class headlined by Green and the fact that they’ll have another lottery pick in this year’s draft.
“I’m really looking forward to seeing what the future holds for our whole group and having all of this improvement that our group has had come together and have it be a collective improvement,” coach Stephen Silas said.
The Rockets made the playoffs in eight straight seasons before dropping into the league’s basement last year after trading James Harden and the rest of their stars. Things weren’t any better this season as the team decided veteran John Wall wouldn’t play and shifted to full rebuilding mode with a roster that had four 19-year-olds to start the season.
Houston took Green with the second overall pick after he skipped college and spent a season in the G League. Green, who didn’t turn 20 until February, struggled to adjust to NBA competition in the first two months of the season and missed most of December with an injury.
Things started to click for him in the new year and he developed into the star of this young team down the stretch, making highlight-reel dunks in seemingly every game. Green scored 30 or more points in six of his last seven games, capped by a season-high 41 on Sunday to finish second among rookies by averaging 17.3 points a game.
Green’s performance in the season finale made him the first Houston rookie with a 40-point game since Hakeem Olajuwon’s first season in 1984-85 and made him the youngest Rocket to ever score 40 points.
“He has improved so much since Day 1,” Silas said. “He has become at this point, a primary scorer on our team. He has improved every single statistic that there is. He is playing in a way that is sustainable, I believe.”
DRAFT DAY
As the season wraps up, the next big day for the Rockets is May 17 when the NBA holds its draft lottery. By finishing with the league’s worst record, Houston is guaranteed a top-five pick.
They have a 14% chance of getting the first overall selection in June’s draft. But that pick won’t be their only one in the first round with the Rockets set to receive the higher of Brooklyn or Miami’s first-round picks (top-14 protected) because of the Harden trade.
RISING STARS
Green is far from the only young player on the team to show promise this year. Fellow rookies Josh Christopher and Alperen Sengun made important contributions, and Kevin Porter Jr., who was in his third season, also improved.
Sengun was the 16th pick in the draft and he won’t turn 20 until July, and Christopher, selected 24th, moved out of his teen years in December.
Sengun averaged 9.6 points and 5.5 points in 72 games and Christopher averaged 7.9 points, 2.5 rebounds and two assists in 74 games.
Porter finished third on the team by averaging 15.6 points a game and his 6.2 assists and 1.1 steals led the Rockets.
“That’s the whole gist of this year is development for us young guys,” Porter said. “For everyone that’s part of this organization — development, that’s been the key.”
Green agreed and said the more he played, the better he started to feel.
“I think the word I can use is comfortable,” he said. “I got confidence going through the season. My teammates helped me and off the court my family helped me.”
MOVING ON
With an eye toward the future, the Rockets could look to move the handful of the team's veterans remaining this offseason.
Houston tried to find a suitable trade destination for Wall before the deadline this season but was unable to move him. He has a $47 million player option for 2022-23 that he will certainly exercise, and the Rockets could look for a buyout agreement if they can’t work out a trade before next season.
“I think there’s a real market for John," general manager Rafael Stone said. “I think we’ll find a deal that will work for him and for us, and if one doesn’t materialize, we’ll we’ll cross that bridge if and when it occurs. But that that is not something he’s focused on, and is not something I’m focused on."
Houston could also look to deal 14-year veteran Eric Gordon this offseason. The 33-year-old Gordon has one year left on his contract with a team option for 2023-24.
Another player that could be on the move this offseason is Christian Wood. The 26-year-old started 67 games and led the Rockets in points (17.9) and rebounds (10.1). But with one year left on his contract, he could be expendable if they believe Sengun is their future at center.

Philadelphia revives mask mandate as COVID-19 cases surge
Philadelphians will have to wear masks inside public spaces again as the pandemic resurfaces in the city, where COVID-19 infections have spiked in recent weeks, city officials said Monday.
"Starting today, we're asking businesses to dig up those 'masks required' signs and start hanging them in your windows," Cheryl Bettigole, the city's health commissioner, said in a a news conference Monday afternoon. "Beginning Monday, April 18, our health inspectors will begin enforcing the mask mandate again," she added, noting that the city is allowing a week's grace period to get the word out.
"We're putting this into place on the early side. If we were to wait for hospitalizations and deaths to rise, it's already too late," Bettigole said.
"We have reached the threshold" previously set to reintroduce a requirement that residents must cover their faces inside public areas, the physician added.
Philadelphia is now experiencing 142 new COVID-19 cases a day, a rate that is more than 50% higher than what the city was seeing 10 days ago.
The revived mandate comes just over a month after Philadelphia dispensed with COVID-19 precautions, and ahead of busy Easter weekend. "We don't want to keep masks longer than we have to," Bettigole said on March 2, when the city lifted its indoor mask mandate.
Businesses need a heads up to comply with a renewed mask mandate, according to Shawn Leahy, the general manager of Positano Coast, an Italian restaurant in Philadelphia.
"We have some masks in house right now, but if we need to get 500 in by Tuesday we may not be able to," Leahy told CBS Philly.
Philadelphia and other parts of the country, mostly in the Northeast, are seeing an increase in coronavirus cases as the Omicron BA.2 subvariant becomes the dominant strain.
"Based on what we've seen in Europe, we could see another COVID-19 wave sooner than later," Bettigole said a week ago in a statement.
Citywide, 46 people are currently hospitalized with COVID-19, six on ventilators, according to health officials. More than 5,000 people in Philadelphia have died of the disease, about 750 during omicron wave, despite the variant being milder than previous versions, the commissioner noted.
Philadelphia already requires masks in health care facilities, nursing homes and on public transit, but facial coverings are otherwise optional, including in schools except Head Start programs.
The mask requirement comes back into play during a week in which Philadelphia's more than 203,000 public school children are on spring break. Officials had already planned a week of masking after spring break, so "they're in good shape the next two weeks," Bettigole explained in her briefing.
Other parts of the U.S. are also telling residents to consider covering their faces as the BA.2 variant spreads. New York public health officials recently recommended masks be worn in all indoor public spaces in five counties in the central part of the state, which ended indoor masks mandates for public places and schools on February 10 and March 2, respectively.
More than 985,000 Americans have died of COVID-19.

WWE superstar Cody Rhodes was the latest guest on Busted Open Radio to discuss his triumphant return to the company at WrestleMania 38, and when he made the decision to leave AEW. The American Nightmare adds that he is super proud of the final match he had in AEW with Sammy Guevara. Highlights from the interview are below.
On wanting to achieve his dream of becoming world champion:
“The Loews Hotel in Rosemont by the Allstate Arena. I looked at Brandi and I told her. The last time I told her something like that is when I told her I was leaving WWE. I had kind of done it all in my mind. I was sitting there at the bar in the corner booth and I knew. I mentioned it on the Raw interview that I did, and I was so excited to do that type of interview, it was an easy decision. It was. After the heaviness and hardness of what that departure meant, the decision was easy in terms of what I needed to do next. I’m so proud of everything. From every Independent I went to, which is every single one on Earth, it felt like. To New Japan, to Ring of Honor, to All In, to All Elite Wrestling. That block being filled provided that clarity to me. I have to take a shot at this. Everyone is different. Everyone wants to be the best pro wrestler or best superstar. I ad a real goal at eight-years-old and I didn’t get the chance…I got the chance, but I wasn’t ready. I failed at the chance. Life is so much more about losing than it is about winning. I absolutely felt I could make the run at it hear. Whether it is unobtained is one thing, but I didn’t want it to go unsaid or untried.”
On his final AEW match:
“My future was in doubt, for sure, my mind was all over the place, but there are still fans in the seats. This is still one of my kids. I can’t get in my own head and sabotage this or turn out anything less than what I would have liked to turn out, which is the very best that you can possibly do. I don’t play around with eight-foot ladders. For a television perspective, they have to be 10 or 12. The eight just looks risky dinky. If there was one to go out on, I’m so glad we got to do that for Sammy. He’s one of my kiddos. To do that for him and be part of that was great.”

Following the clean-up, many of the volunteers ventured over to Schelben Park on the levee lakefront for some fun under the sun. The "my premeei and me" organization hosted an easter-themed outing called "egg-cellent adventure." The event was for locals of all ages...enjoying the food, face painting, taking pictures with the easter bunny, and sharing with our camera their big smiles throughout the day.

Southern Illinois University Carbondale has for the seventh consecutive year earned national recognition as a Tree Campus Higher Education program in honor of its commitment to effective forest management.
As the university celebrates this Arbor Day Foundation acknowledgment, it is continuing efforts to make SIU a greener, more sustainable campus by hosting a tree planting event on April 19, and everyone is welcome to participate.
All welcome at planting
The SIU tree planting in honor of Arbor Day will take place from 9-11 a.m. and noon to 2 p.m. on April 19, rain or shine. Participants should meet in front of Parking Lot 11, located along South Illinois Avenue/U.S. 51, just south of the main entrance to campus, directly east and across Lincoln Drive from the Student Center. Organizers encourage participants to dress appropriately, with jeans and closed-toed shoes recommended.
For more information, or to volunteer, email sustainability@siu.edu. No pre-registration is required.

“We are very excited that we get to have this event live and welcome everyone to participate this year after having to do things differently the last couple of years due to the pandemic,” said Dave Tippy, superintendent of grounds. “This event fits well with the Tree Campus program. We are always very impressed by the student initiative, interest and turnout we always have for this and other sustainability-related events. We also appreciate the campus and community interest and participation.”
SIU in select company
Each year, just a few hundred institutions of higher learning across the country are chosen by the Arbor Day Foundation for the select honor, previously known as Tree Campus USA. This marks the 150th anniversary of Arbor Day (officially April 29 this year). Although final results for this year have yet to be announced, SIU was among fewer than 400 institutions honored last year.
To earn the designation, SIU had to meet five campus sustainability standards:
- Establish a tree advisory committee.
- Create a campus tree care plan.
- Sustaining a campus tree program.
- Host an annual Arbor Day observance.
- Sponsor student service-learning projects.
Trees intrinsic to campus culture
SIU has more than 5,200 inventoried trees, encompassing over 150 different species, on the 1,200-acre main campus alone. In addition, there are thousands of additional non-inventoried trees in the wooded areas around Campus Lake, Thompson Woods and auxiliary properties including the Touch of Nature Environmental Center and the farms.
Hundreds of trees on campus are marked via a QR tree coding system, courtesy of the Tree Campus Advisory committee, Plant and Service Operations grounds department and the SIU Forestry Club. By simply scanning the code, you can learn to identify various trees and view photos of them along with numerous other details about their bark, fruit, leaves and more.
The SIU Arboretum also offers six self-guided tree identification tours, which you can view virtually or enjoy in person as walking tours. SIU is the first Illinois university to earn Level II Arboretum Accreditation from the ArbNet Arboretum Accreditation Program. It is also featured in the Morton Register of Arboreta.
Get a peek of SIU’s beautiful and extensive variety of trees by viewing a Virtual Tree Tour or a 360 Degree Virtual Tree Tour.
Ongoing Commitment
The campus wide collaborative focus on to sustainability education, community outreach and environmental stewardship is ongoing, Tippy said.
“In recent years, national studies have consistently shown that university students are very concerned about sustainability and the environment, and we take that very seriously at SIU,” Tippy said. “Our commitment to sound forestry practices not only creates a beautiful living laboratory for students, visitors and the local community, but it also has tangible environmental and economic benefits, including increased property values, energy savings, improved air quality and more.”

Baseball has made plenty of innovations to the game in recent years, and many of them are bad, but this is definitely not one of them.
During Sunday night’s series finale between the Yankees and the Red Sox, Boston outfielder Kike Hernandez was wearing a mic and actually conversing with broadcasters during the game. Not only that, he correctly predicted the play that was about to unfold in front of him.
“With Anthony Rizzo at bat, Isiah Kiner-Falefa at second and Jose Trevino at first, Boston pitcher Ryan Brasier threw a pitch in the dirt, allowing both runners to advance,” the New York Post reports. “From center field, Hernandez sized up the situation to the broadcast booth aptly.”
“Fast guy at third (Kiner-Falefa), slow guy at second (Trevino). If he gets a base hit to me I’m going to throw him out at home, maybe,” Hernandez prophetically explained.
On the next pitch, the base hit Hernandez envisioned came his way.
“Here it is!” Hernandez shouted.
"Fast guy at third. Slow guy at second. If he gets a base hit to me I'm gonna throw him out at home maybe"
Didn't go the way Kiké Hernandez wanted it to but this was an awesome mic'd up moment pic.twitter.com/fsWaxLZg36
— Jomboy Media (@JomboyMedia) April 11, 2022
Unfortunately for Hernandez, and the Red Sox, the tail end of that prediction, the part about throwing the runner out, did not happen. Instead, the cut-off man snatched the ball out of the air, and the Yankees scored.
However, it was one of the best television moments in recent baseball memory, and it presents a unique angle that MLB can exploit. It would be extremely difficult to mic up an NFL or NBA player and actually have a conversation with them during the game. NFL and NBA players are mic’d up all the time, but both sports are too fast-paced with not nearly enough pauses in the action to get any kind of real conversation going.
It could happen, but it would be very rushed and likely unintelligible.
Meanwhile, baseball has the perfect pacing for a feature like this. Now, will all players be able to put on their best Nostradamus impersonations and correctly predict plays on live television? No.
But expect to see a lot more of this.

Georgia elections lawsuit backed by Abrams goes to trial
A trial has gotten underway in a federal lawsuit that alleges serious problems with Georgia's election system
Georgia elections lawsuit backed by Abrams goes to trial
Show all 2A lawyer representing critics of Georgia’s election system said state officials have “erected a series of roadblocks” to voting through their policies and practices. An attorney for the state countered that the critics are trying to prove “democracy failed" the state, but they lack the evidence to prove it.
The statements came Monday as a trial got underway in a federal lawsuit that initially called for a broad overhaul of Georgia’s election system. The scope of the suit was considerably narrowed when some allegations were addressed by changes in state law and others were dismissed by the court. The lawsuit was filed in 2018 by Fair Fight Action, an organization founded by voting rights activist and Democratic candidate for Georgia governor Stacey Abrams, just weeks after Abrams narrowly lost her first bid for governor.
The bench trial — which means there's no jury — is being presided over by U.S. District Judge Steve Jones and is expected to last four or five weeks. Jones has said he doesn't expect to rule before the state's May 24 primary.
During her opening statement, Allegra Lawrence-Hardy, an attorney for Fair Fight and the other plaintiffs, evoked the image of U.S. Rep. John Lewis marching across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, in 1965 to fight for voting rights. The congressman, who died in July 2020, had planned to be the plaintiffs' first witness at trial, Lawrence-Hardy said.
“Voting is also a bridge. It is the most basic path to democracy,” she said. Because of the actions of state election officials, she said, “eligible voters in Georgia face roadblock after roadblock as they try to get to that path.”
The secretary of state and State Election Board have made it difficult for Georgians to register to vote, stay registered and cast a ballot that will count, she said.
When Abrams ended her 2018 bid to become governor, she said that under the watch of her victorious Republican opponent, former Secretary of State Brian Kemp, “democracy failed Georgia.” That's a hypothesis that Fair Fight and its allies have been trying to prove ever since without success, state lawyer Josh Belinfante said.
State officials take very seriously any claims of disenfranchisement or burdens on the right to vote, Belinfante said. The plaintiffs fall short of proving their hypothesis in part because they overlook “the hard work of everyday Georgians,” the election workers who toil under difficult conditions and “just want to get it right,” he said.
The lawsuit initially said state election officials “grossly mismanaged” the 2018 election in a way that disenfranchised some citizens, particularly low-income people and people of color. The issues remaining for the trial have to do with the state's “exact match” policy, the statewide voter registration list and in-person cancellation of absentee ballots. The plaintiffs allege violations of the U.S. Constitution and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Under the “exact match” policy, information from voter registration applications is checked against information held by the state Department of Driver Services. The “flawed matching methods” used by the state inevitably produce erroneous results, Lawrence-Hardy said. Critics of “exact match” have long said data entry errors or differences as minor as a missing hyphen can trigger a non-match and that naturalized citizens can also be wrongly flagged if records are outdated. The problems disproportionately affect people of color, naturalized citizens and residents of certain counties, Lawrence-Hardy said.
Evidence will show that 98% of Georgians have had no problem with the policy and the other 2% can vote after showing a photo ID, which every voter is required to do, Belinfante said. The “exact match” policy has also become “less stringent” as a result of litigation and a 2019 law, he said.
Lawrence-Hardy also alleged that the statewide voter registration database is full of errors, and state efforts to clean the voter rolls of ineligible voters too often result in the erroneous deletion of eligible voters' registration or critical information being incorrect. Belinfante acknowledged some unfortunate mistakes but said there's no evidence that the state deliberately disenfranchises voters.
The lawyer for the plaintiffs argued that counties have different processes for canceling an absentee ballot if someone chooses to vote in person instead, and some subject voters to unnecessary burdens. State officials are aware of these problems, which can cause voters to be turned away or forced to cast a provisional ballot, she said.
Belinfante said a 2019 law clarified the process for canceling an absentee ballot at a polling place and poll worker manuals have been updated.
Lawrence-Hardy told the judge that, over the course of the trial, he will hear from people who experienced trouble voting, as well as from experts who have studied voting in Georgia.
Belinfante said the judge will hear from very few people who were unable to vote in 2018 and even fewer who had problems in 2020. Election officials will testify about ongoing measures to ensure the integrity of the state's voting system and improve the voter experience, he said.
Fair Fight filed the lawsuit along with Care in Action, a nonprofit that advocates for domestic workers. Several churches have also joined as plaintiffs.

Asamoah Gyan: Former Sunderland ace reveals Suarez assault thoughts vs Liverpool
Former Sunderland striker Asamoah Gyan has revealed he once considered physically assaulting then Liverpool attacker Luis Suarez as payback for Ghana’s 2010 World Cup heartbreak at a Premier League game.
The two men are remembered for their parts in unarguably one of the most memorable matches in World Cup history when Ghana met Uruguay in the quarter-final of the global showpiece in South Africa, the first World Cup to be hosted in Africa.
Editors' Picks

- Can Liverpool catch Manchester City? Klopp's show of defiance at the Etihad proves they still believe
- Osimhen and Napoli won't let 'hurtful defeat' against Fiorentina dash Serie A hopes
With the score at 1-1 in extra-time, Ghana almost scored a dramatic last-gasp winner but for Suarez, who handled a goal-bound Dominic Adiyiah header, conceding a red card and a penalty which Gyan struck against the woodwork before the South Americans went on to clinch a 4-2 penalty shoot-out victory.
“I remember a game between Sunderland and Liverpool. We were playing at home on that day and all players were shaking hands. I wanted to hit him [Suarez] because people had said things that stuck in my mind,” Gyan, currently unattached, told Peace FM on Monday.
“I was naïve at that time but when I thought about it later, I realized that I had to let it go because I would have done the same thing if I was in his position.”
Had Suarez not handled or Gyan scored the resulting penalty, Ghana would likely have won the game to become the first African nation to reach the semi-final of the World Cup.
At the time of the World Cup, Suarez and Gyan were on the books of Ajax and Stade Rennes, respectively, before securing transfers to Liverpool and then Premier League side Sunderland.
In 2012, the Ghanaian went on to become captain of the Black Stars, leading the side to the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations final where they lost to Cote d’Ivoire on penalties, a shoot-out the striker watched from the sidelines.
“As captain [of the Black Stars], I’ll say it [my biggest regret] was in 2015 [Afcon] when I asked to be substituted against Ivory Coast in the final,” Gyan said.
“I feel like if I was not substituted, I could’ve helped in the penalty shoot-out. But due to some things that were going on, I felt I needed to give the chance to another player.
“This was because I had excused myself from taking penalties. But there were a lot of things going on which led to me asking to be substituted. So, I say that was one of my biggest regrets as a captain.”
Gyan is Ghana’s all-time top scorer and most capped player in history.

The newest island deity from Season of Alola in Pokemon GO is here and it is Tapu Bulu. This Fairy- and Grass-Type Pokemon is extremely powerful and rare. Because of that, finding it can be tricky. Also, you’ll want to know if it can be shiny. All of this and more will be answered in this Tapu Bulu Pokemon GO guide.
Can Tapu Bulu Be Shiny in Pokemon GO?
Unfortunately, Tapu Bulu can’t be shiny in Pokemon GO. Similar to its other island deity Pokemon like Tapu Lele, Niantic doesn’t release the shiny versions of these new Pokemon with the debut of the regular version.
That said, Tapu Bulu isn’t any less rare. Like the island deity Pokemon before it introduced with the Season of Alola, these Pokemon are only available in the Five-Star Raid spot for a brief amount of time and can’t be caught afterward. This makes catching a Tapu Bulu extremely rare because they don’t last for long. So, shiny or not, catching a Tapu Bulu is something you’ll want to do.
Tapu Bulu Five-Star Raid Schedule
Currently, there is only one place to catch Tapu Bulu. As mentioned earlier, Tapu Bulu is replacing Therian Forme Thundurus in the Five-Star Raid spot. Tapu Bulu is entering the Five-Star Raid on Tuesday, April 12, at 10 a.m. local time and will be leaving the Five-Star Raid on Tuesday, April 26, at 10:00 a.m. local time. During this time, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to catch Tapu Bulu.
Tapu Bulu Raid Hours
Similar to how Spotlight Hours work, there are special Raid Hours specific to Tapu Bulu while it is in the Five-Star Raid spot. Happening on Wednesdays usually, the Raid Hours to remember for Tapu Bulu take place on April 13 and April 20 from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time.
Tapu Bulu Weaknesses and Counters
Since Tapu Bulu is a Grass- and Fairy-Type Pokemon, it is extremely weak to Poison-Type moves, but also weak to Fire-, Flying-, Ice-, and Steel-Type attacks. With that in mind, you’ll want to stick with an all-Poison-type team. Some of the best Pokemon to take with you into battle are Gengar, Beedril, and Toxicroack. Stick to moves like Poison Jab, Acid, and Sludge Bomb.
And that is everything you need to know about Tapu Bulu in Pokemon GO. For more helpful guides like how to catch a shiny Bunnelby during its Spotlight Hour, check out our Pokemon GO guides.
Pokemon GO is available now on all mobile devices.

TORONTO — A portable MRI machine that brings imaging to a patient’s bedside has the potential to revolutionize health care both in major hospitals and in remote areas of the country, doctors say.
Swoop, a portable MRI scanner created by Hyperfine in the U.S., can be wheeled to patients to perform the scan instead of the other way around.
“This is a game-changer. It truly is,” said Dr. Tim Dowdell, the radiologist-in-chief with St. Michael’s Hospital, which received the machine at the end of March. “This is the disruptive technology that we need right now.”
The machine works only on the brain, said Dr. Aditya Bharatha, the head of diagnostic neuroradiology at the hospital.
“It gives us images of the brain that allow us to make immediate decision-making in situations where we might otherwise either not be able to get the image at all or where it might take much longer to get the image because the patient has to be transported,” he said.
Conventional magnetic resonance imaging machines are massive units that require special rooms with a large Faraday cage to protect others from the powerful magnet, reinforced floors to support its weight and cryogens to keep the magnets cool, Bharatha explained.
Compared to St. Michael’s four conventional MRIs, the new machine has a much weaker magnetic field — similar to that of a common refrigerator.
The images it produces are nowhere near the resolution of the conventional scanners, but they are “good enough” for many purposes, Dowdell said.
“For many cases, we really don’t need this amazing, granular image,” Dowdell said. “We need to answer questions like, is there a brain bleed or not? This machine answers many basic questions we have.”
Bharatha said they’ve used the machine on 13 patients thus far, including one on a critically ill patient where the quick image helped them discover a new hemorrhage.
The machine, which has motorized wheels controlled by a joystick, has now found a spot in the hospital’s intensive care unit, but can be wheeled to other parts of the hospital when needed.
Dr. Andrew Baker, the chief of critical care at St. Michael’s Hospital of Unity Health Toronto, used it on a patient last week.
He wheeled the machine into the room himself, brought it to the top of the bed and positioned the patient’s head inside.
He chose the sequence on the touchscreen, pressed a button and waited 30 minutes for the image, which was then immediately uploaded to the patient’s medical file.
“I was able to see the images right away at the bedside,” Baker said. “It’s remarkable.”
If there was an emergency in the ICU, Baker said, they could get a conventional MRI right away.
But that would require a delicate dance with several nurses, porters, a respiratory therapist, and possibly an intensivist to help manage the gaggle of wires and tubes connected to the patient in order to get them out of a room, into an elevator and down to an MRI scanner.
The process could take 30 to 45 minutes on a good day before the scan even takes place, Baker said. Non-urgent scans could take a day or longer for a spot in one of the four MRI machines.
“The real advantage will come when time is of the essence and when time is of the essence, often patient stability is threatened, so it’s not a great idea to be trying to move people”, he said.
The new machine could also increase accessibility to imaging in Canada’s north, where people in hundreds of communities have to travel long distances to get an MRI, said Dr. Omar Islam, the head of the department of radiology at Queen’s University.
The school and Kingston Health Sciences Centre bought the first machine in the country last fall shortly after its approval by Health Canada, he said.
The portable MRI machine is now deployed in Moose Factory, Ont., to provide medical services for the Weeneebayko Area Health Authority.
Scans began in December, Islam said, and they hope to use the machine on 200 patients over the course of a yearlong study.
Before, those in six different communities along Hudson Bay would have to fly to Kingston, Ont., to get an MRI, he said.
“It’s like bringing cellphone service to a part of the world that did not even have a landline,” he said. “We’re trying to democratize health care with equal access for people irrespective of where they live.”
Benoit Sai, the co-founder of UpCare, which distributes the Swoop in Canada, said the portable MRI machines cost about $600,000, a fraction of the cost of a conventional machine.
He said there is a third machine being used for research at the University of British Columbia.
The machine uses artificial intelligence to help fine-tune the image, he explained. And training is simple.
“It only takes about 30 minutes,” he said. Up to now even pushing it in 30 minutes, we go around the system.
For Dowdell at St. Michael’s, the new machine could not have come at a better time.
“We’re down several people in my department with COVID, but we just trained some people in ICU in an afternoon to use it and now they’re off and running,” he said.

Idaho judge: Mom accused in kids’ killings now fit for trial
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — An Idaho judge ruled Monday that a mother accused of conspiring to kill her children, her estranged husband and a lover’s wife is now mentally competent to stand trial on some of the charges in Idaho.
Daybell and her new husband, Chad Daybell, face numerous charges in the complicated case involving allegations of bizarre spiritual beliefs involving “zombies” and doomsday predictions.
Prosecutors have said that Lori and Chad Daybell espoused the religious beliefs in an effort to encourage or justify the murders.
The case against her had been hold for months after Judge Steven Boyce ordered her committed to a mental facility so she could undergo treatment in an effort to make her mentally fit enough to assist in her own defense.
Boyce’s new order said Lori Vallow Daybell “is restored to competency and is fit to proceed” in the Idaho murder case. He did not provide other details about her treatment or mental condition.
She is scheduled to be formally arraigned in court next week and both Lori and Chad Daybell are set to stand trial together early next year.
Tare charged withconspiracy to commit murder and first-degree murder in connection with the deaths of Lori Daybell’s children 7-year-old Joshua “JJ” Vallow, 16-year-old Tylee Ryan, as well as Chad Daybell’s first wife, Tammy Daybell.
Lori Daybell is also charged in Arizona with conspiring to kill her former estranged husband, Charles Vallow, with the help of her now-deceased brother, Alex Cox.
Chad Daybell has pleaded not guilty to the charges and Lori Daybell has not yet had an opportunity to enter a plea. Chad Daybell’s attorney, John Prior, declined to comment on the case. Lori Daybell’s attorney, Jim Archibald, did not immediately respond to voice and email messages requesting comment.
An indictment said Chad and Lori Daybell in 2018 while still married to other people began espousing an apocalyptical system of religious belief.
Lori Daybell’s brother Alex Cox shot and killed her estranged husband, Charles Vallow, in suburban Phoenix, according to an indictment in Arizona.
Cox asserted the shooting was in self-defense, and he was never charged. At the time, Charles Vallow was seeking a divorce, saying his wife believed she had become a god-like figure responsible for ushering in the biblical end of times. Cox later died of an apparent blood clot in his lung.
Shortly after Charles Vallow’s death, Lori Daybell — who then had the last name Vallow — and her children moved to the rural eastern Idaho community of Rexburg, near where Chad Daybell lived. At the time, Chad Daybell was married to Tammy Daybell. She died in October of 2019, and her obituary said the death was from natural causes.
Authorities grew suspicious, however, when Chad and Lori Daybell got married just two weeks later, and investigators had Tammy Daybell’s body exhumed for an autopsy. Authorities have not released her cause of death.
Police began searching for Lori Daybell’s youngest two children in November after relatives raised concerns. The Daybells quickly left town, and were found months later in Hawaii without the children.
Investigators later found the bodies of JJ and Tylee buried in Chad Daybell’s yard back in Idaho. They have not disclosed causes of death but court documents said Tylee’s body was partially burned.
Friends of the Daybells told investigators that the couple believed people could become “zombies” if they were possessed by evil spirits, a state in which their soul was trapped in limbo, according to police reports. The couple reportedly believed that the only way to rid a person of a zombie was for their body to die, according to police reports.
A friend of the couple, Melanie Gibb, told investigators that Lori Daybell referred to her youngest children as “zombies,” and police in Arizona said the couple exchanged text messages saying that Tammy Daybell had been possessed by a dark spirit.

The value of traditional education can vary widely across the country. While a college degree has long been viewed as a critical step toward the American dream, growing costs have led many students to reconsider the return-on-investment of higher education. Meanwhile, local economies and individual circumstances can push others toward learning a trade or entering the workforce early.
These considerations aside, national statistics show a clear difference in earnings as they relate to educational attainment, as college graduates typically earn 65% more than those with only a high school degree.
To help understand areas with the lowest educational attainment, Stacker compiled a list of the least educated counties in Tennessee using data from the U.S. Census Bureau. Counties are ranked by the lowest percentage of the population 25 years and over that has a Bachelor’s degree or higher.

The Orlando Magic finished another losing season singing a familiar refrain.
Despite dropping 60 games, posting the worst record in the Eastern Conference and missing the playoffs for the third time in five years, the club insists it’s latest overhaul is headed in the right direction.
“From when we walked into the building on Day One, we talked about how we were going to compete at a high level, defend at a high level, work every day and have fun doing it,” first-year coach Jamahl Mosley noted Sunday. “That’s what we’ve done.”
The Magic dropped 27 of 32 games to start the season and never won three games in a row, yet Mosley said a young team that played most of the season without two of its best players never got discouraged.
“Practice (Saturday) felt like Day One. There was an energy, an enthusiasm, a joy for being on the court with one another throughout the day,” the coach said before Sunday night’s finale against the Miami Heat.
“And I think it was about what we’ve talked about from the beginning. It’s about us getting better every single day. Whether we win or lose, we’re putting that work in every single day,” Mosley added. “These guys have embraced that, and they have embraced each other.”
In a sense, this season was doomed from the start with Jonathan Issac and Markelle Fultz, two of the young players the Magic are trying to build around, on the mend from serious knee injuries.
Issac tore his left anterior cruciate ligament when the pandemic-interrupted 2019-20 season resumed in the Disney bubble. He’s missed all of the past two seasons and only played 136 games since being drafted five years ago..
Fultz tore his ACL in January 2021 and was sidelined almost 14 months before returning late this season and playing well enough to gradually work his way back into a starting role.
Team president Jeff Weltman and general manager John Hammond remain committed to building through the draft after trading veterans Nikola Vucevic and Aaron Gordon in March 2021 for future first-round picks in 2023 and 2025.
The current roster includes eight players selected in the first round of the past five drafts, including Fultz (No. 1 overall by Philadelphia in 2017) and Wendell Carter Jr. (seventh by Chicago in 2018).
Isaac (sixth, 2017), Mo Bamba (sixth, 2018), Chuma Okeke (16th, 2019), Cole Anthony (15th, in 2020), Jalen Suggs (fifth, 2021) and Franz Wagner (eighth, 2021) are Orlando picks.
Suggs and Wagner showed flashes of promise as rookies this season. The 6 foot-10 Carter looks like part of the future, too, after averaging a confidence-bolstering 15 points and 10.5 rebounds in 62 games.
“All the young teams in the league — the Memphis Grizzlies, the Phoenix Suns, the Cleveland Cavaliers — I feel like we’re right there,” Carter said.
“Especially with us being so young, it gives us the opportunity to really mold everyone,” Carter added. “I feel like we’re in a perfect opportunity where everybody understands what everybody is capable of, and we all like each other.”
WORK TO DO
Despite insisting there are signs of progress, this the seventh time in the past 10 seasons the Magic have won fewer than 30 games.
Orlando has had five different coaches and only posted one winning record (42-40 in 2018-19) during that span. The franchise hasn’t won a playoff series since 2010.
MIXED REVIEWS
Suggs was the fifth pick in last year’s draft out of Gonzaga. He earned a starting job right away, but would up missing 34 games due to various injuries. He shot just 36% and averaged 11.8 points and 4.4 assists in 48 games..
Wagner, the 8th pick out of Michigan, averaged 15.2 points in 79 games. He started the first 74 games before being sidelined by an ankle injury.
GET IN THE GYM
Mosley said one of the team’s priorities is improving its perimeter shooting.
The Magic finished 28th in the NBA in field-goal percentage at 43.4, including 33.4 from 3-point range.
Fultz (23.5%, Suggs (21.4%) and Anthony (33.8%) all struggled from beyond the arc.
Without mentioning any names, Mosley said he wants everyone to return in September with better jump shots.
“Being able to shoot the heck out of the basketball, and coming back with that conditioning level all the way up, I think those are going to be the big keys,” the coach said.

A Philadelphia woman was arrested Thursday for attempting to bring a loaded handgun onto a flight departing from Philadelphia International Airport.
TSA officers spotted the firearm in the woman's handbag as it was going through the X-ray machine at an airport security checkpoint, the TSA said Monday. The .25 caliber gun was loaded with five bullets, including one in the chamber.
Police detained the woman before arresting her on a weapons violation. The woman will be issued a federal financial civil penalty, the TSA said.
Those penalties include fines that total thousands of dollars, depending upon the circumstances. They apply to travelers with or without concealed gun carry permits. Travelers with TSA PreCheck can have their privileges revoked if they are caught with a gun.
Firearms can be transported as checked baggage if packed correctly and declared at an airline's ticket counter. Guns must be unloaded, packed in a hard case, locked and stored separately from ammunition.
"Guns and airplanes don't mix," said Gerardo Spero, the TSA’s federal security director at Philadelphia International Airport. "If you want to bring your gun on a flight, pack it correctly for transport or leave it home."
This was the seventh firearm confiscated this year at Philadelphia International Airport security checkpoints, TSA officials said. Six of them have been loaded.
Last year, TSA officers nabbed 39 guns at the airport — the highest number over the last five years. Across the country, the TSA obtained nearly 6,000 firearms from passengers' carry-on bags.

“I think they’re f*cking losers,” spy veteran Jackson Lamb (Gary Oldman) says with characteristic brutal honesty to Mi5 superior Diana Taverner (Kristen Scott Thomas) when asked if he really cares for his team of rejects, while they sit on a park bench at 2 am in the middle of a national crisis. “But they’re my losers,” he says with loyal punctuation. This moment might sum up “Slow Horses,” in a nutshell, a darkly humorous British espionage thriller featuring a rogue, insubordinate spy old-timer, who is the boss of Slough House: a punitive dumping ground shithole and spy division for banished agents, f*ck ups, and castaways who have been exiled from the main Regent’s Park M15 HQ for embarrassing career-ending blunders of one sort or another.

Law enforcement authorities are asking the public to ignore rumors about a missing-person case in Gary after a doll was mistaken for the missing woman.
Gary Police officers were sent to 15th Avenue and Lake Street late Sunday afternoon upon receiving calls that a body had been found in a grassy area, Police Spokeswoman Lt. Dawn Westerfield said in a Sunday release. Initially, Westerfield said police were unable to identify the body when they found it.
Upon further examination, however, police found that the person had discovered a “life-size, silicone/rubber-type female doll,” she said.
Lake County Coroner David Pastrick in a separate release provided more detail, saying that his office was summoned when a NIPSCO employee working in that area happened upon the “lifelike mannequin.”
“We wanted to release the information as soon as possible to let the community know this was a false alarm due to previous missing person reports,” Pastrick said in the statement.
Westerfield was more direct in her appeal for people, as well as the media, to wait until police have positively identified the deceased.
“We ask all media entities not to buy into social media rumors that are circulating regarding Ariana Taylor and wait for credible information to be released,” she said.
The Gary Police Department has been investigating the disappearance of Taylor, 23, whose last communication was late April 2, according to police.
Gary officers were sent to a crash site April 3 where the vehicle appeared to have been involved in a possible hit-and-run on Interstate 65 near Lake Station, which caused it to be forced over an embankment and onto a road below, police said. The car’s owner — Taylor’s mother, Queena Taylor — said her daughter was supposed to be the last person who had the vehicle, police said.
Queena Taylor reported her daughter missing to the Lake County Sheriff’s Department April 3, and to the Gary police April 4, police said. So far, neither foot searches, K-9 searches, helicopter nor ATV searches have found any sign of her, police said. She hasn’t been sighted in any area hospitals, either, according to police.
“On behalf of the people of the City of Gary, my family and I are praying for the safe return of Ariana Taylor, who has been missing since April 3,” Gary Mayor Jerome Prince said in a statement. “Our Police Department, which accepted jurisdiction of this case days ago, is actively searching for Ariana, as are other law enforcement agencies and numerous volunteers who care for her. We’ve received support from federal law enforcement, as well.
“As a father and grandfather, I can’t begin to imagine the fear and pain Ariana’s family and friends are experiencing, but we will continue to do everything we possibly can to find Ariana and return her to her family. The Gary police, my team and I will remain in contact with Ariana’s family and provide any support we can.”
Ariana Taylor, is approximately 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighs 200 pounds. She was last seen wearing a red sweater, ripped bluejeans and gym shoes. Anyone with information on her location is asked to contact Detective Sgt. Mark Salazar at 219-881-1209.

Press Release: Motorists Urged to Drive Safely in Work Zones
RHODE ISLAND, April 11 - National Work Zone Awareness Week is April 11-15, 2022
As the Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) continues to rebuild Rhode Island's roads and bridges, it is renewing its message to motorists to reduce their speeds and drive safely in work zones. This week (April 11-15) is National Work Zone Awareness Week.
RIDOT Director Peter Alviti, Jr. and State Police Captain David Bassignani joined officials from the Federal Highway Administration, AAA Northeast, and the New England Laborers' Health and Safety Fund today for a press conference adjacent to a work zone on Taunton Avenue in East Providence. The message was simple and clear – with the dawn of a new construction season, drivers will encounter more work zones. When they do, they need to slow down and move over wherever possible to provide a margin of safety for the men and women working on our roads.
"Thanks to the new Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, we will significantly ramp up the number of projects we will be doing, with a special emphasis on upgrading poor quality pavement," Director Alviti said. "And with all those projects comes a lot more work zones. We ask that drivers remain alert for construction workers and slow down and drive cautiously when you come upon one. We want every one of our workers to go home at the end of their day."
Across the country, fatal crashes in work zones have steadily increased. In 2015, about 700 people per year were killed. That number rose to more than 850 in 2020. Fortunately, RIDOT has not had any fatalities among its staff or contractors in many years.
A large majority of those killed in work zone crashes, about 85 percent, are not the workers on the road, but the driver or passengers of the vehicle involved in the crash. In Rhode Island there were about 750 work zone-related crashes last year.
In addition to saving lives and reducing serious injuries, reducing work zone crashes helps reduce overall emissions caused by closed lanes and congestion caused by first responders helping those in crashes.
In 2008, Rhode Island passed the "move over" law, which requires drivers to move over a lane when approaching a first responder stopped on the road. In 2014, the law was expanded to include construction and highway maintenance workers. Even if drivers can't change lanes when approaching workers or first responders, the law requires them to slow down and leave as much space as possible between their vehicle and those that are stopped.
"Our Troopers put themselves in harm's way every day to assist motorists and enforce our traffic safety laws. We need our citizens to do their part," said Colonel James M. Manni, Superintendent of the Rhode Island State Police and Director of the Department of Public Safety. "Today we are reminding Rhode Islanders to slow down and move over when you see an emergency vehicle or are approaching a construction site."
Safety is RIDOT's highest priority, and all work zones are established with careful attention to safety and in coordination with national standards and best practices. RIDOT routinely inspects all work zones on state roads, not only involving the Department's Highway and Bridge Maintenance Division, but those set up by contractors, bridge inspectors and utility companies. This interaction includes making sure work zones are set up correctly with repeat visits to make sure they remain in compliance.
RIDOT plans the timing and duration of work zones to reduce as much as possible the impact to traffic flow and travel time. Additionally, all planned work requiring lane or road closures is posted on RIDOT's website at www.ridot.net/traveladvisories and real-time traffic incident information is available on RIDOT's Twitter feed at www.twitter.com/RIDOTNews.

Tomatin to Celebrate 125th Anniversary With Limited Edition Whisky Release
On June 8, Scotland’s Tomatin Distillery will celebrate its 125th anniversary. To mark the occasion, the scotch whisky producer is releasing a limited-edition version of its 12-year-old single malt.
Tomatin commissioned Edinburgh-based papercut artist and illustrator Emily Hogarth tp create an illustration to commemorate the anniversary. Hogarth’s work includes “key components which capture the distillery’s history; each representing different stages in the making of the whisky and the stories behind it,” according to the product description on Hard To Find Whisky, which sells the bottling.
Tomatin – 125th Anniversary Edition – Highland Single Malt 12 Year Old Whisky is available for £39.95 ($52) at retailers such as Hard to Find Whisky.
Earlier this month, Tomatin unveiled a new advertising campaign.
In October, Tomatin Whisky sued Tomatin Trading over the Tomatin name, but the court ruled that tourists would be unlikely to face any confusion between the two companies.
Tomatin 12 Year Old Tasting Notes From Our Review
Nose: Sweet honey, apples, almond. A fair bit more sherry than I was expecting, but nothing insane. Pears, vanilla, light amaretto, light baked bread.
Taste: Thin but no heat. Sweet honey, vanilla. Fresh baked bread. Pears, apples, almonds. Light sulfur. Not super complex, but pleasant.
Finish: Short, light, no heat. Sweet honey, light sherry funk. Yeasty sweetness, light fig, faint almond. Lots of vanilla.

Monte Carlo Masters: Stan Wawrinka loses on return to Tour-level tennis after 13 months out
Last updated on .From the section Tennis
Three-time Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka lost in the first round of the Monte Carlo Masters as he made his return to Tour-level tennis after 13 months out.
Kazakhstan's world number 36 Alexander Bublik beat the Swiss 3-6 7-5 6-2.
Wawrinka, 37, suffered a foot injury in early 2021 and had two operations.
He returned to competition at a Challenger Tour tournament in Marbella in March, where he was also eliminated in the first round.
"I think the body's getting much better," said Wawrinka. "I'm still far away from where I want to be, but I think I'm [going in] the right direction. I think today was a positive match. It was a tough loss, of course, but I'm happy with the way I was playing today."
Bublik said: "The only thing I can say is to wish Stan a speedy recovery, because if he would have been in shape, I wouldn't be standing here."
Elsewhere, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga's final appearance in Monte Carlo ended in defeat after he was beaten 6-2 6-2 by Croatia's Marin Cilic.
The Frenchman, 36, is to retire after the French Open, which starts next month.
Italy's ninth seed Jannik Sinner beat Croatia's Borna Coric 6-3 2-6 6-3, while Poland's Hubert Hurkacz breezed past Hugo Dellien of Bolivia 7-5 6-4.
Among Monday's other results, Fabio Fognini - who won the Monte Carlo title in 2019 - beat Arthur Rinderknech 7-5 4-6 6-3.
World number one Novak Djokovic opens his clay campaign on Tuesday when he plays Spain's Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in the second round.

Gun used to kill SUNY Potsdam student still out there
CANTON, New York (WWNY) - The murder weapon in the shooting death of SUNY Potsdam student Elizabeth Howell has yet to be found. And suspect Michael Snow’s appearance in court is delayed by COVID protocols.
After Elizabeth Howell was shot dead, a search along the St. Regis River’s west branch failed to find the murder weapon. The same with a search of suspect Michael Snow’s apartment. And almost two months later, authorities confirm it has not been found.
“That’s why we continue to ask the public that if they come across anything, find anything or know any information to make sure they share that with the New York State Police, with the Potsdam Village Police, or directly with my office,” said St. Lawrence County District Attorney Gary Pasqua.
Pasqua also said despite Facebook rumors to the contrary, there was no known connection between Howell and Snow before the shooting took place.
“Our investigation hasn’t turned up any sort of a link. So I really couldn’t tell you what motivation there would be for this to have occurred,” he said.
The shooting occurred at approximately 5:45 p.m. on February 18 on College Park Road in Potsdam. Snow was arrested a day later in Massena and charged with Howell’s murder.
On March 31, Snow was indicted on charges of murder, manslaughter, assault, and criminal use of a firearm.
“The grand jury has found reasonable cause to believe that this occurred,” said Pasqua.
Pasqua spoke just after Snow’s arraignment in county court on Monday was postponed at the last minute. Court officials said Snow was showing flu-like symptoms at the jail so the hearing was called off under COVID protocols.
There have been so many unknowns about this case from the beginning, particularly when it comes to motive. And it may be some time before anything further is revealed.
Snow’s arraignment is now scheduled for 9:30 a.m. on April 22.

It was a busy weekend for the Studio 512 team! Rosie and Steph got to spend time together on Friday night: they ate (coconut curry and biryani, respectively) at Clay Pit for a delicious dinner and then saw Disney’s “The Lion King” at Bass Concert Hall!

TORONTO - Crude oil prices fell to their lowest level since before the Russian invasion of Ukraine as a spike of COVID-19 cases in China pulled down the energy sector and Canada's main stock index to start the trading week.
China's zero-tolerance policy toward COVID cases has resulted in extended lockdowns in Shanghai, its second-largest city with some 25 million people, following the reporting of record cases over the weekend.
"We have seen air traffic in China decline so the impact for consumption of jet fuel, gasoline, etc., at least in the near-term is impacting the demand outlook. And really China is a big player in that space because it is the largest crude oil importer," said Angelo Kourkafas, investment strategist at Edward Jones.
The energy sector lost 2.6 per cent on the Toronto Stock Exchange with Cenovus Energy Inc. decreasing 5.8 per cent as crude prices fell to their lowest level since Feb. 25.
The May crude contract was down US$3.97 at US$94.29 per barrel and the May natural gas contract was up 36.5 cents at US$6.64 per mmBTU.
While lower crude prices provides some welcome relief for motorists, it pushed the S&P/TSX composite index to close down 83.86 points to 21,790.49.
In the U.S., stock markets lost ground as growth sectors like technology fell as bond yields rose to a three-year high in anticipation of aggressive monetary policy tightening. The 10-year treasury bond yield increased to as much as 2.793 per cent.
In New York, the Dow Jones industrial average was down 413.04 points at 34,308.08. The S&P 500 index was down 75.75 points at 4,412.53, while the Nasdaq composite was down 299.04 points at 13,411.96.
The 10-year Canadian government bond yield rose to as much as 2.178 per cent, its highest level since the end of 2013. The increase was in anticipation that the Bank of Canada will raise rates by half a percentage point on Wednesday. It follows Friday's labour market survey that showed Canada's unemployment rate fell to the lowest on record in March while wage growth is picking up.
"We think both the Fed and the Bank of Canada are likely to deliver what I would say are supersized rate hikes," Kourkafas said in an interview.
While the tech sector fell 1.8 per cent in the U.S. it was down only slightly in Canada as losses were partially offset by shares of Shopify Inc. increasing 2.9 per cent after the Ottawa-based company announced a 10-for-one stock split.
Nine of the 11 major sectors on the TSX were lower.
Consumer staples and materials were higher, the latter helped by higher gold prices.
The June gold contract was up US$2.60 at US$1,948.20 an ounce and the May copper contract was down 9.1 cents at US$4.63 a pound.
The Canadian dollar traded for 79.23 cents US compared with 79.43 cents US on Friday.
Possible market catalysts this week are a U.S. inflation report on Tuesday and the Bank of Canada rate decision on Wednesday.
Investors will also be waiting for the start of earnings season with the reporting of first-quarter results by several U.S. banks.
"There is expectation that all these companies, because the high input costs and higher labour costs, they're going to experience some margin pressures, so it's going to be interesting to see the resilience of the corporate sector," said Kourkafas.
"So we may be in a little bit of holding pattern as we're waiting for these events to unfold."
This report by The Canadian Press was first published April 11, 2022.

Zero tolerance in country against anyone who intimidates girl, woman, child, says Delhi HC
New Delhi: The Delhi High Court Monday said there has to be zero tolerance against anybody who intimidates a girl, woman, or child in the country and one should not live in a society where women are fearful of going out of their homes even in the daytime.
The high court's observation came while refusing to grant bail to a man, who was sentenced to life imprisonment by a trial court here
for the murder of a 21-year-old woman after she snubbed his advances.
We cannot and we will not live in a society where women are fearful of going out of their homes in broad daylight. We are not going to enlarge him. Zero tolerance against anybody who intimidates any girl, woman, or child in this country. Right. Zero tolerance. We are not inclined to enlarge him on bail, a bench of Justices Siddharth Mridul and Rajnish Bhatnagar said while dismissing his bail plea.
The court further said, Somebody who is as vicious as this, this is what the trial court has said. We have not said anything about it yet. Imagine the impact. The incident occurred in 2011 and after 11 years, there is an instant recall. You can imagine what every girl who leaves home must have to endure.
The court said since the convict has been in jail for 11 years, it will hear his appeal challenging his conviction and sentence and listed the matter for April 26.
Convict Vijay Saini has approached the high court challenging the trial court's verdict awarding him life imprisonment for the murder of Delhi University student Radhika Tanwar in 2011.
Tanwar, a second-year student, was shot from behind by Saini near a foot overbridge outside Ramlal Anand College near Dhaula Kuan here on March 8, 2011, international women's day.
According to the police, Saini used to stalk Tanwar regularly, but when she rejected him, he shot her dead.
Three other men — Tabrez Ahmed, Sheikh Shekhu, and Ashraf Ali — were also involved in the incident. They were held guilty of the offences of harbouring as they gave shelter to Saini after he killed the woman but sentenced to the period already spent by them behind bars.
According to the prosecution, Saini had been stalking the woman for 2-3 years and was even beaten up by her father and friends for bothering her. When he did not get a favourable response, he shot her dead to wreak vengeance.

DENVER (KDVR) — A surgery using magnets helped doctors in Colorado save the life of a very premature baby.
Gabriella and Harper were born at 23 weeks in February of 2021 in Alliance, Nebraska. The twins needed the help of specialized doctors to survive, so they were transferred to the Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children in Denver, 250 miles away.
“Twenty-three weeks is really the extreme limits of possible viability,” said Dr. Steven Rothenberg, chief of pediatric surgery at the hospital.
Parents Kayla Hatch and Victor Jacobo credit the medical workers for saving Harper, who was born with an incomplete esophagus.
Rocky Mountain Hospital believes the procedure marks the first successful Esophageal Atresia surgery on a baby weighing less than a pound.
“The gap was so great, it was hard to get the two ends together,” Rothenberg said. “I believe Harper is the smallest baby ever to be born, with this pure Esophageal Atresia, to survive.”
Doctors waited until Harper was full-term before performing a minimally-invasive surgery, followed by another surgery. Eventually, magnets were used in January 2022, about a month before the twins’ first birthday. The magnets, which were eventually removed, brought the incomplete esophagus together.
“It worked,” Rothenberg said. “It worked extremely well.”
Hatch and Jacobo couldn’t be happier.
“To see them breathing, kicking … it’s just truly awesome,” Jacobo said. “We just can’t thank everyone enough for being there and helping us through these trying times.”
“For the rest of my life, I’m going to be thanking them,” Hatch said.

A troubled Nigerian lady has taken to the public to chronicle her affair with her boyfriend and how the guy is shying away from committing to a lifetime affair.
In a post shared on Facebook by Governor Ifeanyi Okowa’s aide Ossai Ovie Success, the lady who preferred anonymity said after many years of dating and ‘gbenshing,’ she’s now pregnant for her lover. However, the boyfriend is not ready to make her his wife. The confused lady is now seeking advise on how to handle the situation.
She wrote:
I’m 31 years old and have been in a relationship with this guy for a very long time.
He wasn’t forthcoming with marriage so we have been breaking up and coming back.
We finally ended the relationship at some point but I still kept seeing him. One thing led to the other one day and we were intimate.
After sometime I found out I was pregnant, when I told him, he kept asking me what I want to do.
I told him I’m going to keep it and he should come and marry me but he says he’s not ready to get married, mind you he’s close to 40.
He said I know what I did and got pregnant, getting pregnant was my plan and expecting him to fall into my plan will not work.
He will do whatever he can for me and the child but he’s not ready to get married. He’s a really nice guy and I really like him and know I can live with him.
What does him not being ready for marriage mean?
I’m having mixed feelings because he’s saying I want to trap him. Please I need advice.

LOS ANGELES, United States, Apr 11 – The Los Angeles Lakers sacked coach Frank Vogel on Monday following the team’s disastrous failure to reach the NBA playoffs.
Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka confirmed Vogel’s dismissal after three seasons, a day after the club’s ill-fated campaign drew to a close.
“This is an incredibly difficult decision to make, but one we feel is necessary at this point,” Pelinka said.
Speculation over Vogel’s future intensified after the team’s final regular season game on Sunday, with ESPN reporting that the coach — who led the Lakers to a 17th NBA championship in 2020 – would be fired.
“Frank is a great coach and a good man,” Pelinka added.
“We will forever be grateful to him for his work in guiding us to the 2019-20 NBA championship.”
The announcement came as Lakers players addressed the media in end-of-season interviews.
Lakers superstar LeBron James said before the announcement he had not been aware of the team’s decision concerning Vogel.
James said he had “nothing but respect” for the 48-year-old.
“I respect Frank as a coach, as a man,” James said.
“The partnership that we’ve had over the past few years has been nothing but just candid, great conversations.
“He’s a guy who gives everything to the game. Prepared us every single night with his coaching staff.
“At the end of the day, I don’t know what’s going to happen, but I’ve got nothing but respect for him.”
Vogel bristled when asked about his reported dismissal immediately after the Lakers’ 146-141 overtime win over the Denver Nuggets in their final gae of the season on Sunday.
“I haven’t been told shit and I’m going to enjoy tonight’s game, celebrate what these young guys did in terms of scratching and clawing and getting back in this game and getting a W, and we’ll deal with tomorrow, tomorrow,” Vogel told reporters.
– Dismal record –
The Lakers finished the 2021-2022 campaign in 11th place in the Western Conference, missing out on the postseason with a dismal record of 33 wins and 49 losses.
It is only the fourth time in James’ career that he has failed to reach the playoffs, and the second time it has happened since he joined the Lakers in 2018.
The team had been tipped as championship contenders before the season after acquiring nine-time NBA All-Star Russell Westbrook in a blockbuster trade.
But injuries meant that the Lakers were only able to field their big three of James, Westbrook and Anthony Davis in 21 games during the 82-game season.
James said Monday that the team’s inability to find consistent results had been the most challenging aspect of the season.
“It felt like every time we would take a step forward, we would take three of four steps back,” James said.
“We’d have a huge win at home against a playoff-contending team like Utah — and then go on the road and lose to Houston. That was the mental side, playing with your psyche like ‘What the heck is going on?’
“How can we be so great one night and the next night be so mediocre? That was the most challenging part of the season for sure.”
James meanwhile batted away questions about his future with the Lakers, saying he had not discussed the two-year contract extension he will be eligible to sign in August because of collective bargaining agreement rules.
However he insisted he still wanted to challenge for more NBA titles with the Lakers.
“I came here to win a championship. And I want to win more. So I accomplished what I wanted to accomplish, but I’m still hungry for more,” James said. “I’m confident that this organization wants the same.”

By now, Pith readers know how much I love the fact that Nashville’s pikes go to the places they’re named for. But one pike has remained unsatisfying to me: Dickerson Pike, originally the Dickinson Meeting House Road. Where was this meeting house that the road went to?
No one seems to know. So I thought I would try to find it.
Fortunately, the name of the property owner where the meeting house sat is right in the name of the road — Dickinson. And this 1845 map at the Tennessee State Library and Archives shows that the road had that name in ... um, yes, 1845. So, we’re looking for Dickinsons who lived out in that direction before 1845.
OK, cool. No problem.
Well, a couple of problems. First, I can’t find a map at my beloved TSLA that shows any Dickinsons out that way. Second, sometimes you can guess where someone was located based on in-laws — maybe you can’t find any Dickinsons, but you find the names of dudes their daughters married. But there were at least three Dickinson families in Nashville, and they married everybody.
Stick with me here. This gets confusing. First, and most easily dismissed, is the family of Charles Dickinson. Charles, Tennessee history buffs may recall, was killed by Andrew Jackson in a duel in Kentucky. His family came out of Maryland and lived over near what is now West End Middle School.
Then there’s the family of Jacob McGavock Dickinson. This Dickinson was the secretary of war under President Taft. He owned Travellers Rest, Belle Meade and Polk Place. He is, indeed, the person who had the Polks disinterred so he could tear down their house and put up an apartment building. He also had a respectable mustache. Jacob’s great-grandfather was Felix Grundy, associate of Andrew Jackson, and his grandfather was Jacob McGavock, who was Andrew Jackson’s military aide.
Jacob’s grandfather, William Dickinson, was born in Virginia in 1779. William’s father was Archelaus Dickinson, which is a name that stands out when you see it. So if they are related to any of the other Dickinson families, it ought to be easy enough to tell, since there isn't going to be an army of Archelaus Dickinsons out there.
So these Dickinsons are friends with Andrew Jackson and married into some of Nashville’s most prominent families — Grundys, McGavocks, Overtons, Hardings, etc. — and they come out of Virginia.
But wait! There’s another Dickinson family. And the patriarch of this family is also named Jacob Dickinson, except they come out of North Carolina. This Jacob Dickinson, who died in Davidson County in 1816, had a bunch of kids — Mary Polly, Charity, Jacob Jr., William Thomas (sometimes just called Thomas), Sarah, Jane, Isaac and Milbury (a girl). We’re going to need Milbury in a second, so keep her in mind. Charity was married to William Donelson, Rachel Donelson Robards Jackson’s brother! These Dickinsons are Jackson’s in-laws! As far as I can tell, there are three Dickinson families — the family of Andrew Jackson’s mortal enemy, the family of Andrew Jackson’s friends, and the family of Andrew Jackson’s family.
The Jacob Dickinson of this third family left a will. (As a side note, in this will he reveals that he and his second wife had a prenuptial agreement that her assets from her first husband would go to the children of that marriage, which means that Adelicia Acklen’s situation might not have been all that unusual.) I won’t go into the whole thing here, but it’s basically: “Give my grain to these people. Destroy the families of the people I keep enslaved in these ways. Here’s the property I want to give my sons.” We are concerned with that last bit:
I give and leave to my son William Thomas Dickinson the plantation and the part of the tract of land whereon I now live bounded as follows: Beginning at an Ironwood [seems like there’s possibly an "on" missing here] Joseph Philips corner thence running due East to the public road, thence northwardly along said road to Jacob Dickinson junior’s formerly [illegible, possibly “shared”?] line thence with said line East to a sugar tree and walnut thence South one hundred and sixty four poles to a sugar tree on Philips [illegible] preemption line then with said line west one hundred and thirty four poles to a hickory and sugar tree thence South one hundred and thirty one poles to William Moore’s north East corner a sugar tree then west one hundred and seventy poles to a sugar tree on Joseph Philips East boundary thence with his line north to the beginning corner.
OK, so here’s what we can discern from this, I think. Wherever this Jacob Dickinson lived, Joseph Philips was his southern neighbor. Can we find Joseph on a map? Sadly, no. But we can find him in a graveyard. Joseph Philips is buried in the old Sylvan Hall graveyard — Sylvan Hall being the name of the Philips house that came into the possession of William D. Philips, Joseph’s son.
And now that we’ve found Joseph, we learn that his wife’s name was Milbiry. In fact, William also named his daughter Milbiry. Clearly, Milbury Dickinson was named after them. But get this! Milbiry Philips grew up to marry William Harding, whose sister was Rachel Harding Overton, mother of the other Jacob Dickinson. Let’s wallow in this convoluted mess, for just a second. Andrew Jackson’s wife’s sister-in-law’s family (let’s call them Dickinson 3) lived next door to the Philipses and were close enough to them that they named their daughter after the women in the family. And Milbiry Philips grew up to become Jacob Dickinson (from Dickinson 2)’s wife’s aunt.
This isn’t a family tree so much as a family briar patch. But we have to remember that Nashville was a small town back then. You only had so many people to marry.
OK, so we know the Philips family owned Sylvan Hall because we know from old maps where William D. Philips lived in what is now Bellshire. According to family lore (which is somewhat backed up by old maps), the Philipses owned everything south of Old Hickory (I suspect actually Bell Grimes), north of Briley, east of Brick Church Pike and west of Dickerson Pike. This would put the Dickinson family land up where the Jack in the Box, Sonic and haunted house are, across from Cedar Hill Park. If you look at this map, that would make the old Dickinson place what is marked Morris & Stratton. In the mid-1800s, Morris & Stratton was the grocer in Nashville. My guess is that they bought the Dickinson land to grow produce for the store downtown.
In the June 19, 1833, edition of the National Banner and Nashville Daily Advertiser, we learn that William D. Philips — who says he is living on the east fork of Dry Creek, seven miles north of Nashville, “near Dickerson’s meeting house” — has found a black filly (p. 3). I think what this tells us is that the meeting house had to be very close to William’s house, in order for it to be a good landmark. Probably, if you saw the meeting house, you could see William’s house, which means that you could probably also see the meeting house from William’s house.
I couldn’t verify exactly where William’s house was, but I went to the family cemetery on Oxbow Drive to see what I could see. White family cemeteries tend to be near plantations’ main houses, so I figured it would at least give me a general idea. It took me some time to find the Philips family cemetery, since it’s barely visible from the street, back behind some houses, up a hill. I tried to be as conspicuous as possible — bright-yellow shirt, orange jacket, loud grunting and oh-my-ing — so that the owners of the driveway I was going up, should they be home, would assume that I was what I was: some middle-aged woman looking for the cemetery. I also had the benefit of having the same last name as the people in the cemetery, albeit with an additional L.
No one minded that I was there. Even now, with all the houses and the businesses, the view is breathtaking. You can easily see out to Dickerson Pike, even though you are quite a way from it. And most importantly for this discussion, you can see the Jack in the Box sign very clearly.
If that were all pasture or cropland, you could see the corner, no problem. And anyone at the corner could see the house, if it was up there by the cemetery. Since I could see the Jack in the Box sign from the cemetery, I’m tempted to believe that the Dickinson Meeting House might have been there, or if the northernmost boundary of Philips land was indeed Bell Grimes and not Old Hickory, it could have been at the Walgreens.
However, there’s another possibility that shows up on maps. Take a look at this map from 1871 or this map from 1898. Depending on how tech-savvy Patrick is*, maybe he can even stick this mash-up I made in here for ease of discussion.
The blue line is showing you the same lane leading to the Philips house. And on both maps, there’s a dot near the road up in the old Dickinson property. It could be the old Dickinson house, but if you look on the terrain map on Google or just drive out there yourself, you’ll see there’s another low hill on the other side of the creek, very similar to the beautiful setup the Philipses had. That seems like a more likely location for a house.
But on a flat spot with plenty of places to put wagons and horses? A place that might flood and it’s not the end of the world? That seems like a likely location for a meeting house. I measured the distance from the creek south of the Philips house to Bell Grimes Road, since those are both recognizable landmarks in the past and still basically in the same place in the present. They are also about as far away from each other as the mystery dot is from Bell Grimes.
The distance from the creek to Bell Grimes is just under half a mile. The distance from Bell Grimes to the mystery dot, then, is about a half a mile. If the mystery dot is the old Dickinson Meeting House, then the location was about where that haunted house, the Beast House, is now.
Since I’m not an archaeologist, I didn’t start digging in their parking lot looking for ... what, exactly? Old hymnals? A crude lectern? Ancient casserole dishes? I have no idea what kinds of items you’d find that would verify the presence of an old church. I guess possibly antique tiny glass communion cups? Maybe I should grab a couple of teenagers and see if they start complaining “but it’s so boring” the closer and closer we get? Could I use teenage antipathy for going to church as a kind of divining rod for the location of the old meeting house? Either someone’s going to have to find something — a map, a will, an old deed — that would tell us the exact location of the old meeting house, or I’m going to have to do some unethical human-experimentation archaeology.
Or, you know, I guess I could be satisfied that we have gone from knowing that there was a meeting house out there, somewhere, between the Cumberland and Goodlettsville, to having narrowed down the location to a half mile on the west side of Dickerson Pike north of Bell Grimes.
But this does raise the question: If Dickerson is just a spelling error, why don’t we fix it?
*Editor's note: Piece of cake.

Britney Spears is going to be a mom once again.
The pop icon, who famously told a Los Angeles judge she was forced to be on birth control during her “abusive” conservatorship, made the announcement on Instagram Monday.
“I got a pregnancy test … and uhhhhh well … I am having a baby,” Spears, 40, wrote.
The “Toxic” crooner, who already shares two children with Kevin Federline, told her legions of fans she originally thought she had gained weight from eating but realized after taking the pregnancy test that she was expecting.
Amid Spears’ conservatorship battle last summer, she claimed that her father forced her to get an IUD and she wasn’t allowed to get pregnant.
“I want to have the real deal. I want to be able to get married and have a baby. I was told right now under the conservatorship, I’m not able to get married or have a baby,” Spear said during the explosive court hearing as she begged a judge to end the legal arrangement.
Spears’ conservatorship was later dissolved in November.
The megastar has been engaged to Sam Asghari since September but the pair have been dating for over five years.
In her Monday Instagram post, she referred to him as her “husband,” sparking rumors that the two secretly tied the knot.
“I lost so much weight to go on my Maui trip only to gain it back 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️ … I thought ‘Geez … what happened to my stomach ???’ My husband said ‘No you’re food pregnant silly,'” she wrote.
She noted during her first pregnancies she suffered from perinatal depression and plans to do yoga everyday to remain healthy for baby number three.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 3 Episode 7: Recap
Last week's episode of Below Deck Sailing Yacht, titled Strip for the Tip, shocked many fans as they saw Tom Pearson getting fired for dropping another anchor and not feeling guilty about it.
Instead of preparing for the fourth charter, like everyone else, Tom sat with Colin MacRae to talk about his ongoing drama with Ashley Marti. He took his duties lightly and was fired from Below Deck Sailing Yacht.
Fans viewed a unique talent show put together by the team for the guests on Below Deck Sailing Yacht. Daisy and Gabriela performed a samba and salsa dance together, while Kelsie and Ashley chose to do a line dance.
Marcos was seen spinning a pan on his finger, which makes sense as he is the chef. Gary tried to impress the vacationers by stripteasing.
Gary and Daisy got into an argument on Below Deck Sailing Yacht when Daisy refused to accept that Gary and his team were the ones who were doing the work of the internal team due to their incompetence.

Coronation Street: Abi breaks down in tears
In tonight’s scenes, Kelly was upset after looking at memories from her childhood.
She went to Victoria Garden by herself, with a bottle of morphine that belonged to her mum Laura, who died of cancer last week.
Abi found Kelly with the morphine and despite their past, Abi stepped in to try to help Kelly.
As the teenager cried, Abi told her how she was still grieving for Seb, but she remembers all of their happy memories together and how much they loved each other.
Abi managed to get the bottle from Kelly.
Meanwhile, Toyah had to say goodbye to foster daughter Elsie.
She soon found herself in the Bistro getting drunk. Toyah is still upset over the revelation that Imran is the father of Abi’s son, Alfie.
After dealing with a drunk and upset Toyah, Leanne ran into Abi in Dev’s shop.
Leanne had a go at Abi for sleeping with Imran. She told her that Alfie would be better off being adopted than having Abi for a mother, branding her a “useless junkie.”
Back at her flat, Abi cried as she looked at pictures of her twins, Charlie and Lexi, who were adopted, and Seb, who died last year.
She soon took the bottle of morphine from her coat pocket, but will she take it?

He shares his fears with Toyah and tells her he intends to fight for custody.

Later Abi tells Kevin she’d like to return to work at the garage so she can afford to buy some bits for Alfie.
However she gets a shock when she learns Imran plans to fight for custody of their son.
Abi meets up with her solicitor Elliot. She tells him she wants to apply for full custody of Alfie.
Abi later approaches Imran and tells her she intends to fight him all the way for custody. Meanwhile Imran resorts to dirty tricks.
