Alex Jones loses bid to avoid fines in Sandy Hook case
WATERBURY, Conn. (AP) — A Connecticut judge on Friday rejected Infowars host Alex Jones’ bid to avoid escalating daily fines for missing a deposition in a lawsuit by relatives of some victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, who sued the conspiracy theorist for saying the massacre was a hoax.
Judge Barbara Bellis in Waterbury kept in place her ruling that fines Jones $25,000 per weekday, beginning Friday, and increasing by $25,000 each weekday until he appears at a deposition.
Jones had asked Bellis to put her ruling on hold while he appeals the fines to the state Supreme Court. His lawyers said he plans to attend a deposition in Connecticut on April 11. If he does not appear until then, his fines would total $525,000.
Jones said he did not attend a deposition scheduled last week in Austin, Texas, where he lives, because he was too ill to attend. Bellis said there was not enough evidence Jones was too ill to appear at the deposition.
Twenty first graders and six educators were killed in the 2012 shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Bird flu has infected two more farms in Iowa, forcing the killing of 5.3 million hens and 88,000 turkeys, officials said Friday.
The new cases mean that across the nation, farmers have had to kill about 22 million egg-laying chickens, 1.8 million broiler chickens, 1.9 million pullet and other commercial chickens, and 1.9 million turkeys. Iowa accounts for many of those cases, with operations having to kill more than 18 million chickens and 305,000 turkeys since the outbreaks began a month ago.
Iowa is the nation’s leading egg producer and had 46 million chickens on farms in February, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture data. Iowa raises about 11.7 million turkeys annually.
The latest cases were at an egg farm in Osceola County and a turkey farm in Cherokee County, both in northwest Iowa. Earlier this week, state officials also confirmed the virus on a turkey farm with 35,500 birds in Buena Vista County.
Because the virus is so infectious and deadly for commercial poultry, entire flocks are destroyed and composted on the farms when they are infected.
USDA data shows 23 states have confirmed cases in commercial or backyard flocks.
Spread of the disease is largely blamed on the droppings or nasal discharge of infected wild birds, such as ducks and geese, which can contaminate dust and soil. Infected wild birds have been found in at least 26 states, and the virus has been circulating in migrating waterfowl in Europe and Asia for nearly a year.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the cases in birds do not present an immediate public health concern. No human cases of the avian influenza virus have been detected in the United States. It remains safe to eat poultry products. Cooking of poultry and eggs to an internal temperature of 165 ˚F kills bacteria and viruses.

'If I was 100% sure I would call Man United and tell those guys you have to take him' - Guardiola says no guarantees over 'exceptional' Ten Hag
Pep Guardiola says no manager is guaranteed to bring success but has heralded the record of Manchester United candidate Erik ten Hag.
The Ajax coach has emerged as one of the leading contenders to take over at Old Trafford in the summer.
Manchester City boss Guardiola worked with Ten Hag when he was in charge of Bayern Munich and the Dutchman coached the second team and says his quality is clear from the teams he has coached.
Editors' Picks
- World Cup 2022: Are Messi, Neymar, Pogba & Co. happier in national team colours?
- World Cup Missing XI: Haaland, Salah and the stars who will be watching Qatar 2022 on TV
- World Cup 2022 Power Rankings: Argentina climb, England fall after group-stage draw
- Respect Mane! Senegal’s hero a legitimate Liverpool legend
What’s been said?
“If I was 100% sure I would call Manchester United and tell those guys you have to take him. But I don’t know and nobody knows,” Guardiola said when asked if Ten Hag would be a success in the Premier League.
“He is a good manager, there’s no doubt about it. But so were all the previous managers since Sir Alex Ferguson left.
“You cannot say David Moyes is not a good football manager and the others like Jose Mourinho or right now. All the managers that have been at United are excellent.”
Will Ten Hag join Man Utd?
GOAL has confirmed that Ten Hag has been interviewed by United officials over the prospect of taking over at Old Trafford next season.
However, the 52-year-old is not the only man on the club's shortlist to replace the interim boss Ralf Rangnick.
Mauricio Pochettino has long been linked with the United job and is still in the frame, especially as he has come under more pressure at Paris Saint-Germain following their Champions League elimination.
Why is Guardiola so impressed?
Ten Hag, who has won two Dutch league and cup doubles during his five years in Amsterdam, has come through the same system that produced Guardiola’s mentor Johan Cruyff.
“The relationship we had was incredibly good and we would chat about football, the second team or whatever and he’s an exceptional guy,” he said.
“He’s from the Ajax culture. Ajax is one of the teams - maybe the team - that has an incredible mythology and tradition in the way they play. It doesn’t matter the manager, ever since Rinus Michels and Stefan Kovacs and the Johan Cruyff period, they continued the legacy and they’ve always tried to do what they believe.”

It can be quite heartbreaking to see your favourite soap characters exit. But come on, let’s be honest here, it’s more exciting than anything else as generally there is a big story in place to see them off.
We can’t see EastEnders giving Danny Dyer the taxi treatment (or worse, the Isaac treatment of no official goodbye at all) and we just know that Emmerdale has big plans in store for Paige Sandhu’s serial killer Meena Jutla.
Elsewhere, long term Hollyoaks legend Luke Morgan (Gary Lucy) has a gutting exit of tragic proportions while I am particularly concerned that things might not end well for Imran Habeeb (Charlie de Melo) in Coronation Street.
Still, better to be whacked in the slammer, blown up or leave viewers blubbing over your death than being instantly forgotten.
Let’s have a look at who is leaving and when. And most importantly how. Who gets a happy ending, who departs amid drama and who will never be seen again?
Mick Carter – EastEnders
Pipe my eye, I can’t quite imagine a Walford without Mick Carter – but this is the hand we have been dealt.
Later in autumn, Mick will bow out and it has been confirmed that he will not be killed off.
However, the episodes are promised to be epic. Mick is with Janine, who is at war with Linda so it is inevitable that an almighty clash will lead to Mick potentially telling them both to go and making his departure.
But how serious will the final showdown be? I expect nothing but fireworks.
Proper Bananarama ahead, folks.
Meena Jutla – Emmerdale
A character like Meena is never going to go out with a whimper, has she ever done things by halves? Or even wholes?
The serial killing minx is utterly nuts so it stands to reason that her exit will be too. There was a point where producers almost kept Meena on full time but honestly, no court could ever see her get away with this.
Or could they? Either way, Meena’s time is up – and this is going to be the trial of the century.
Imran Habeeb – Coronation Street
Well, I am personally pretty aggrieved at Charlie de Melo for daring to leave the show, but he is set to go out with a bang.
Producer Iain MacLeod promised huge twists that would knock us off our chairs – painful, but not as painful as losing Imran.
Why do I feel like Imran will die? Well would he leave Toyah behind? His business? His child Alfie?
Nah, I have a bad feeling about this but we can enjoy the drama for a fair while as this won’t play out until after the summer sunshine is coming to an end.
Luke Morgan – Hollyoaks
Luke’s condition is worsening and it’s no secret to us fans that he is going to pass away – that damn coffin put paid to any hopes that he might come through this.
Emotional scenes are eventually going to see Luke bow out and it will air this year. Please can we all have our tissues at the ready?
Forget toilet roll shortages – get your Kleenex before the shelves are empty.
Emma Brooker – Coronation Street
Well, Emma has two choices. A happy ever after with Jon or a prison cell next to a rather nasty jailbird who wants to know if she has smuggled any smack in.
The secret that Emma and Faye killed Jon’s grandfather Ted will be exposed as Faye wants to do the right thing – months after Emma wanted to come clean.
Bit cheeky that.
Jon will offer a new life abroad to Emma – until he learns what truly happened. Will the happy future be taken from the table and replaced with a one way ticket to Her Majesty’s pleasure?
She’s been unlucky in love up until now. There is a small chance her fortunes could change and I am holding onto that with a tight grip.
Ian Beale – EastEnders
For the last year, we have been left on tenterhooks wondering whether Ian Beale is coming back to Walford.
After Sharon decided to ruin the dishes Christmas Pudding and corner shop sauce jar based Carbonara by poisoning it, Ian fled into the night.
It was meant to be temporary but now Adam Woodyatt has confirmed there are zero plans for a return. Zilch.
So will it be addressed? Is there really no way back for the Beale?
Laura Neelan – Coronation Street
Laura has been a bit of a nightmare mum to Kelly but finally, she is about to do right by her. In fact, she has even confessed to killing her ex husband to ensure that Kelly has some digs and a support network from killer Gary and Maria.
Kelly, however, is less keen to give her mum the time she wants as she gets more ill.
As Laura passes away, the consequences will be emotional for Kelly.
Though there must be a part of Gary that is thinking: ‘Phew!’
Now stop killing people, Gaz. You can’t get away with murder again.
Roxy and Kyle – Neighbours
Roxy and Kyle have been rocked by tragedy but now, the future could be bright for them as Roxy discovers that she is pregnant.
After everything they have been through, they are looking to the future and, amid happy news, they head off for a new life.
And it seems that it might be the only happy exit in this list!
Nicky – Coronation Street
It’s been great having Nicky back – her sass and her indomitable pride in womanhood are a welcome shine.
Annoyingly, it was confirmed to only be a temporary return – and I am hoping it won’t have the same ending as Laura’s stint.
At the moment, Nicky is winding Daisy right up as Daniel supports her and gets her back on her feet.
Can we be prepared for a last, perfect battle before Nicky sets off again?
Neighbours
Okay, okay. Too soon.

Alaska Airlines cancels more than 120 flights as pilots picket
SEATAC, Wash. - Dozens of Alaska Airlines flights at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport were canceled Friday morning and officials said they are connected to the shortage of pilots.
More than 100 Alaska Airlines flights were canceled by the airline, including 66 in Seattle, 20 in Portland, Oregon, 10 in Los Angeles and seven in San Francisco, according to the flight tracking website flightaware.com. Pilots held a rally and picket line in all those cities, according to a union website.
This is affecting more than 15,000 passengers. Additional cancelations are possible over the weekend.
Officials with the airline company said the flight cancelations are "connected to a shortage of pilots, which has created operational challenges."
"We notified our guests whose flights have been impacted and apologize for the inconvenience. We’re working as quickly as possible to make things right and get them to their destinations," Alaska Airlines said in a statement.
The cancellations and picketing come as air travel rebounds to pre-pandemic levels and demand is surging as many Americans head off on spring break for long-delayed vacations. Frustrated travelers vented on social media about botched vacation plans and reported that there was up to a 10-hour wait to speak with an airline representative about rescheduling flights. Many said they couldn’t fly out for a day or two.
Organizers said it's been nearly three years since the pilots began contract negotiations. They said they are underpaid and overworked compared to pilots at United, Delta and American. Their goal is to get a contract similar to their peers.
"Alaska Airlines received a $2.3 billion bailout from American taxpayers during the pandemic to weather the economic downturn, retain its workforce, and be ready to take advantage of the recovery we are now experiencing. It has one of the strongest balance sheets with industry-leading profit margins and came out of the pandemic with less net debt than before it," the union said. "Yet, despite all of this, Alaska Airlines failed to properly plan for increased travel demand and take the steps necessary to ensure it attracted and retained pilots. In fact, just this week, ALPA met with two corporate vice presidents who made clear that they have failed to adequately retain and staff up to meet a predictable return to flying."
The group picketed from noon to 2 p.m. at the Hilton near Sea-Tac Airport.
Alaska says the airline is offering pilots a top scale wage of $280 per hour for captains, and proposed a first officer rate of $100 per hour which it says would be the top new hair rate in the country.
The average salary for an Alaska captain is $341,000 per year, the airline says.

With all eyes focused on the Final Four, it's doubtful that many noticed the passing of a storied tradition in college hoops.
The National Invitation Tournament ended a run of more than eight decades at New York City's Madison Square Garden — actually, two different versions of the Garden, if you wanna get picky — with Xavier's 73-72 victory over Texas A&M.
“Madison Square Garden is a special court,” Xavier's Jack Nunge said. “Everybody knows the feel when you’re playing out there and you just want to give it your all — all the history that’s there."
But all that history wasn't enough to keep the NIT at MSG.
The semifinals and championship game will move to another, still-to-be-determined city for at least the next two years, and there's no word on whether the final rounds of the consolation tournament will ever return to the Big Apple.
While the NIT has largely faded from relevance in recent decades — attendance for Thursday night's game was a paltry 3,551 — there was actually a time when it was a bigger deal than the NCAA Tournament.
Marquette coach Al McGuire turned down the NCAAs in 1970 because he was unhappy with where his team was assigned to play. He accepted an NIT bid instead — and his team captured the title.
Now, as the largely irrelevant NIT prepares to leave NYC, we're reminded once again that sports — like life itself — never stays the same.
Just look at these other traditions that went by the wayside, with nary an April Fools' Day joke in the bunch:
HERE COMES THE SUN
Until Game 4 at Pittsburgh's Three Rivers Stadium in 1971, all World Series contests were played during the day, leaving plenty of time to get to dinner for the early bird special. While most everyone bemoans the late hours that plague today's Fall Classic, especially those who live on the East Coast, there's no chance of the networks giving up their prime-time slots.
DRIVERS, START YOUR LEGS
The 24 Hours of Le Mans once featured a chaotic start like no other in auto racing. The drivers would line up on the opposite side of the track and sprint across the tarmac to hop into their cars. Obviously, this wasn't the safest way to begin an endurance race, especially when some drivers didn't take the time to buckle up or close their doors properly. It was dropped after the 1969 race.
CAN YOU SAY ABA?
Before the major U.S. sports leagues expanded to basically every city with more than three Starbucks, rival leagues popped up every few years to take on the big boys. Three different American Football Leagues challenged the NFL before the fourth incarnation forced a merger, giving us the spectacle known as the Super Bowl. The NBA and NHL both endured costly fights with upstart organizations before finally taking in some of their teams to shut down the competition.
COLLEGE KIDS VS. THE PROS
A longtime tradition that's downright impossible to fathom in today's times was the Chicago Charities College All-Star Game, which ran from 1934-76 and pitted top college stars against NFL champions. Attention waned as the pros won the final 12 meetings, the last of which was called off late in the third quarter because of a torrential downpour and fans storming the field with the Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers leading 24-0.
WHILE WE'RE ON MEANINGLESS GAMES ...
The men's NCAA Tournament, for no good reason, once featured third-place games at both the regional finals and the Final Four. The last of these was played in 1981, with Ralph Sampson's Virginia Cavaliers defeating LSU 78-74 at Philadelphia's Spectrum before Indiana's victory over North Carolina in the game that actually mattered for the national championship. In this same vein, the NFL held a third-place game (known as the Playoff Bowl) throughout the 1960s to benefit the players' pension fund. Green Bay Packers coach Vince Lombardi derisively called it "a losers' bowl for losers."
AT THE MOVIES
Before pay-per-view and streaming services, boxing's biggest fights were available only via closed circuit at movie theaters and other large venues. More than 50 million worldwide reportedly watched Muhammad Ali upset George Foreman in 1974's "Rumble in the Jungle." Now, no one has to leave their recliner.
LIGHT THE TORCH — TWICE
The Winter Olympics used to be held in the same year as the Summer Games, but that format ended after Albertville, France, and Barcelona, Spain, hosted in 1992. The 1994 Lillehammer Games were the first to held in a different year than the summer spectacle, so now we have an Olympics to watch every two years instead of four.
NEW YEAR'S DAY SPECTACULAR
While no one misses the days when the national champion was determined by a vote of journalists and coaches, we're still a bit nostalgic for New Year's Day being the pinnacle of the college football season. In 1978, all four major bowls were held hours apart (actually on Jan. 2, to avoid a conflict with NFL playoff games). Here's what happened: No. 5 Notre Dame shocked top-ranked Texas at the Cotton Bowl; No. 3 Alabama won the Sugar Bowl; No. 4 Michigan was upset in the Rose Bowl and No. 2 Oklahoma was routed in the Orange Bowl. When the dust settled, the Fighting Irish were voted national champs.
STYMIED ON THE GREEN
Here's one we'd really like to bring back: the stymie. Before rule changes in 1938 (and a full overhaul in 1952), golfers were prevented from marking their ball on the green. In other words, a player's putt might be blocked — or stymied, get it? — by an opponent's ball, which led to some very creative uses of the short stick. We'd love to see Rory McIlroy have to chip a putt to reach the cup.
FADING INTO OBSCURITY
Finally, is the Davis Cup still being played in tennis? How about the America's Cup in sailing? Apparently so, but neither carries nearly the weight it once did in the sporting world.
Nothing stays the same.

A Ghost Story is startlingly humane given its title. David Lowery’s 2017 film follows M (Rooney Mara) and C (Casey Affleck), a young married couple on the cusp of change. They live in an innocuous little house in rural Texas. The setting is mundane, and almost serene: their house is well-worn and washed in late afternoon sunshine; the interior is cluttered with flea market furniture and books. But there’s tension between M and C. They need to pack for a move, but C is reluctant. He has a soft spot for this house, this place. He’s a musician; he strums his guitar, his face permanently sullen. M is impatient. "What is it you like so much about this house?" she demands. "History," C responds. Cut to an excruciatingly long shot of M dragging a piece of furniture from their front door to the curbside. Cut to a wrecked car, just a few yards from the house. Smoke rises. C is dead in the driver’s seat.

BOONE — A Boone preschool is selling T-shirts designed by a preschooler to help raise money for an independent missionary in Ukraine who works with orphanages.
Halee Hartley — the owner of Kid Cove in Boone, which serves local families with children ranging between 6 weeks to 5 years old — said the preschool had been trying to brainstorm ways to support the people of Ukraine ever since Russia invaded the country.
Among the families that Kid Cove serves is the Marsh family. In March 2021, Taylor and Celia Marsh were looking to pursue the adoption of a 4-year-old boy in Ukraine who has special needs, including cerebral palsy and is still in Ukraine.
The Marsh family originally had no plans to adopt internationally, but upon seeing the child's face on an adoption website, they felt confident he was their son. A year into the process and all the paperwork, the Marsh's were getting ready to travel when Russia invaded.
"They are trusting in faith that God will lead them to him at the perfect time, make possible the impossible, and he will become a part of their family forever, alongside their other three biological boys," Hartley wrote in an email.
When the war in Ukraine broke out, all adoptions were halted while the unrest continued. Kid Cove and the Marsh family were led to Allina Kay, who had moved to Ukraine shortly before the war began to work in orphanages.
Once Russia invaded, her mission shifted to helping adoptive families who had pending adoptions, meeting daily orphanage needs and working alongside other missionaries through these orphanages. Hartley and Celia Marsh talked with Kay and knew her mission was crucial as Kay works to help meet the growing needs of orphanages.
Kay shops daily for food, drink and diapering supplies directly from local shops in the town she is currently in. She also helps families in the adoption process tremendously, including families she doesn't even know by providing updates, resources and any guidance she can for these families to bring their little ones home who are in the process of adoption, according to Hartley. More information on Kay and her cause can be found at thecause.org/partners/ukrainian-orphan-care.
Clara Mae Hammaker, one of Kid Cove's 5-year-olds, drew a portrait depicting the love and support Kid Cove wants to show the children and families of Ukraine and turned her portrait into T-shirts.
To purchase a T-shirt, visit kidcoveboonenc.com and click on "Ukraine." T-shirt purchases go to help Kay shop for food, diapers and other necessities for the orphanages.

This is one “cookie” that won’t crumble.
Taraji P. Henson’s next big role is as an advisor to the president.
The “Empire” star is among a chosen few that President Biden announced his intent to appoint as members of the newly formed Board of Advisors on Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
The members of the board, which also includes and NBA superstar Chris Paul, will work alongside Biden on the initiative’s mission to “increase the capacity of HBCUs to provide the highest-quality education to its students and continue serving as engines of opportunity.”
Henson, who rose to international fame as Cookie Lyon in the Lee Daniels-produced prime-time drama, graduated Washington, D.C.’s Howard University in 1995. On Thursday, the Theatre Arts major shared the news on Instagram with a throwback photo wearing a Howard Alumni baseball cap.
“I am excited to announce that President Biden has appointed me to serve on his HBCU Board of Advisors,” the Golden Globe Award winner wrote. “Since taking office, the President and Vice President Harris have invested $5.8 Billion in HBCUs and I look forward to working with them to continue efforts to support these important institutions.”
In September 2021, the Biden administration launched the HBCU initiative.
According to a White House statement, its aim is to “promote a variety of modern solutions for HBCUs, recognizing that HBCUs are not a monolith, and that the opportunities and challenges relevant to HBCUs are as diverse as the institutions themselves and the communities they serve.”
Vice President Kamala Harris, the first Black, first woman and first person of South Asian heritage to serve in the role, graduated from Howard University in 1986. The Oakland native is also a member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, which was founded on the school’s campus in 1908.
After Henson’s son was allegedly racially profiled at the University of Southern California in 2015, she revealed she would send him to Howard5.
The private university boasts a prestigious alumni pool, which includes Thurgood Marshall, Zora Neal Hurston, Toni Morrison, Roberta Flack, Phylicia Rashad, Chadwick Boseman and Laz Alonzo.

At least 34 climate change protesters have been arrested over the blocking of oil terminals across the country. Activists from Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion groups obstructed 10 fuel sites in the Midlands and southern England in the early hours of Friday morning, to stand against “expanding UK oil and gas production”.
Protesters were glued on to roads, suspended on bamboo tripods, and locked on to oil drums and each other from around 4am. ExxonMobil UK, one of the country’s largest privately-owned underground oil pipeline distribution networks, said it shut down three of its terminals as a result, and police officers from at least five forces were deployed to tackle the demonstrations.
The Met arrested 14 activists who broke into a facility at Bedfont Road in Staines, Surrey, while Essex Police detained 13 demonstrators at various sites, and West Midlands Police arrested six people at a terminal in Tyburn, Birmingham. Police said arrests were made for offences including aggravated trespass, criminal damage and obstructing the highway.
All those arrested by the Met remained in custody at a west London police station, the force said, on Friday night. Their officers were called to the Bedfont Road site at around 4.15am, where protesters had blocked the entrance.
Met Chief Superintendent Claire Clark said: “Today has seen multiple protests targeting oil terminals across the country. The Met has closely coordinated its response with other police forces, sharing information with the overriding priority of resolving each incident as quickly and as safely as possible.
“We understand and respect the right to protest but not the right to cause disruption to businesses and the public in this way. Such action taken by activists affects critical national infrastructure and diverts many officers from responding to emergencies in their communities.
“Being able to protest peacefully in a democracy is important but it is also important that there are consequences for those who break the law. The Met’s arrests today, as well as arrests made by other police forces, have minimised disruption across the country.”
Just Stop Oil said in a statement: “The Just Stop Oil coalition is demanding an end to the Government’s genocidal policy of expanding UK oil and gas production and is calling on all those outraged at the prospect of climate collapse and suffering from the cost-of-living crisis to stand with us. Ordinary people can no longer afford oil and gas; it’s time to Just Stop Oil."
Just Stop Oil supporters have also disrupted several Premier League football matches in recent weeks. This has included running on to pitches and tying themselves to goalposts.

Cuban Link has jokes today – Watch her reenact Tiffany Haddish checking a reporter on the Oscars red carpet this past weekend.
As the hype surrounding Oscars weekend is still in full effect, people are continuing to crack jokes about every little thing that went down. Earlier today, Cuban Link hilariously re-enacted Tiffany Haddish’s red carpet moment from the weekend where she checked a reporter on a comment made about her dress.
During the night of the Oscars, Haddish quickly interviewed with Entertainment Tonight's Lauren Zima as she made her way down the carpet.
Zima was interviewing the stars at the 94th Academy Awards when she noticed Haddish changed from the outfit she’d previously worn that day.
She asked the Girls Trip star about her "little costume change" and by the look on Haddish’s face, it’s clear that the wording of Zima’s comment may have irritated her a bit.
"I'm not wearing a costume, I'm wearing Dolce and Gabonna," said Haddish. "It's called an evening gown darling."
"No one's paying me for this, I paid for it. This is custom; this is not an acting gig, this is my life," she continued.
Shortly after the interview took place, the clip began to go viral, with many social media users commending the clapback, despite Haddish's seemingly calm demeanor.
"Check. Her. The audacity (rolling eyes emoji)," one user wrote.
"I’m not even the biggest Tiff fan but I smiled a big grin when she gathered her," another user replied.
A few hours ago, Cuban Link, fitness trainer/influencer and current girlfriend to 50 Cent, decided to join in on the jokes around this clip when she posted an Instagram reel of herself wrapped in a towel (to mimick Haddish's dress), reenacting the hilarious moment.
View this post on Instagram
This isn't Cuban's first time acting up Instagram. She's previously posted herself re-enacting viral sounds, all for laughs of course.
View this post on Instagram
Much like his girl, 50 Cent has posted goofy videos on Instagram of himself trolling Cuban Link. The two have also shared videos of them laid up with each other being silly as well.

What do you think? Did Cuban Link nail her Tiffany Haddish impression?

ASHLAND, Ky. (AP) — Attorneys for a former Kentucky clerk who wouldn't issue marriage licenses to two same-sex couples have appealed a federal court ruling that she violated the couples' constitutional rights and might have to pay damages.
Kim Davis, former clerk of Rowan County, briefly went to jail in 2015 over her refusal, which she based on her belief that marriage should only be between a man and a woman.
A jury trial will be needed to determine any damages the couples might be owed. A date was not set during a hearing Friday pending the appeal.
Michael Gartland, an attorney for plaintiffs David Ermold and David Moore, said Friday that he expects the trial will be held sometime next year.
“I will be seeking sanctions for filing this frivolous appeal,” Gartland said.
Mat Staver, founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel, the law firm that represents Davis, said in a statement that she “is entitled to an accommodation based on her sincerely held religious beliefs about marriage.”
He said the case will now go to the Circuit Court of Appeals and added it has a “high potential" of reaching the Supreme Court.
U.S. District Judge David Bunning in Ashland wrote in his ruling last month that Davis “cannot use her own constitutional rights as a shield to violate the constitutional rights of others while performing her duties as an elected official.”
Davis, who bases her objection to same-sex marriage on her interpretation of her Christian faith, stopped issuing marriage licenses soon after the 2015 Supreme Court decision in which same-sex couples won the right to marry nationwide.
A judge ordered Davis to issue the licenses, and she was sued by gay and straight couples and spent five days in jail over her refusal.
She was released only after her staff issued the licenses on her behalf but removed her name from the form. The state legislature later enacted a law removing the names of all county clerks from state marriage licenses.
Davis, a Republican, ultimately lost her bid for reelection in 2018. Democrat Elwood Caudill Jr. is now the county’s clerk.
Davis had argued that a legal doctrine called qualified immunity protected her from being sued for damages by couples Ermold and Moore as well as James Yates and Will Smith. The U.S. Supreme Court in October 2020 left in place a decision that allowed the lawsuit to move forward, declining to take the case.

A gay Ohio substitute teacher was fired last week after handing out Pride bracelets to high school students, the latest example of LGBTQ discussion in schools sparking controversy amid heated debates in school boards and states around the country.
Jay Bowman said in a Facebook post he was fired for handing out First Capital Pride bracelets to his students at Huntington High School in Chillicothe, Ohio. Bowman said he also answered questions from students about the LGBTQ advocacy group.
"If a kid has questions, if a kid wants honesty, I don't think I should be forbidden from providing that," Bowman told CNN affiliate WSYX.
The First Capital Pride Coalition, based out of Chillicothe, Ohio, supports the LGBTQ community by offering community events, advocacy efforts focusing on inclusion, and health equity education.
"I don't try to recruit anyone. The parents are responsible for the kids. The parents are the ones that need to teach their kids right and wrong," Bowman said.
Huntington Local School District Superintendent Peter Ruby released a statement on Sunday, saying Bowman violated board policies by speaking about personal beliefs, "political and religious topics, as well as distributing bracelets."
"While we recognize there are diverse points of view on this matter, this policy exists for the purpose of ensuring all students feel comfortable in the classroom," Ruby said in a letter to the school community.
Asked if the district considers LGBTQ topics to be religious or political, Ruby told CNN, "There were a number of topics he spoke to students about (religious and political) more than just LGBTQ+ issues."
When addressing Bowman's firing, the superintendent said the district does not discipline substitutes because they are contracted through another entity. "We simply choose to not use those who violate board policies."
In a Facebook post from March 24, Bowman said, "the complaint originated from a school board member," and that he is "heartbroken" the district chose to dismiss him.
Bowman added in another post on March 27 that he "did technically, violate a policy" that he did not know about by handing out the bracelets. He went on to say he has "zero regrets."
Bowman told WSYX he has taught within the Huntington Local School District for 30 years, and during his career, nearly 40 former students and athletes shared their sexual identity with him.
"Huntington is my home. It is where I got my first teaching job. It is everything to me. It just is. I love this community."
Bowman's firing has elicited mixed emotions. Pictures shared with WSYX showed some students wore pride bracelets to class after his firing, but other photos show "love is love" signs ripped and tossed in the toilet at the high school.
The superintendent said a demonstration is planned at the school Monday, April 4, to support Bowman. Ruby said "student-led expression is permitted so long as there is no disruption to the education of students."
The next school board meeting will be April 11, according to the Huntington Local School District website. WSYX is reporting students and parents plan to attend the meeting to ask the school board to reconsider its policies.

NEW YORK — A U.S. judge refused to throw out Ghislaine Maxwell’s sex trafficking conviction Friday, despite a juror’s failure to disclose before the trial began that he’d been a victim of childhood sexual abuse.
Maxwell, a British socialite, was convicted in December of helping the millionaire Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuse several teenage girls.
U.S. Judge Alison J. Nathan declined to order a new trial weeks after questioning the juror under oath in a New York courtroom about why he failed to disclose his personal history as an abuse survivor on a questionnaire during the jury selection process.
The juror had said he “skimmed way too fast” through the questionnaire and did not intentionally give the wrong answer to a question about sex abuse.
“I didn’t lie in order to get on this jury,” he said.
In her opinion, Nathan said the juror’s failure to disclose his prior sexual abuse during the jury selection process was highly unfortunate, but not deliberate.
The judge also concluded the juror “harbored no bias toward the defendant and could serve as a fair and impartial juror.”
Had the juror answered the questions correctly, Maxwell’s lawyers had said they potentially could have objected to the man’s presence on the jury on the grounds that he might not be fair to a person accused of a similar crime.
The U.S. attorney’s office declined comment Friday. Messages were left with Maxwell’s attorneys.
Maxwell, 60, was convicted of sex trafficking and other charges after a monthlong trial that featured testimony from four women who said she played a role in setting them up for abuse by Epstein.
Epstein killed himself in August 2019 as he awaited trial at a federal jail in New York on related sex trafficking charges.
Maxwell says she’s innocent.
After the trial’s conclusion, the juror, identified in court papers only as Juror No. 50, gave interviews with several media outlets describing deliberations, and disclosing that he’d been abused as a child. He said he persuaded some fellow jurors that a victim’s imperfect memory of abuse doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.
Potential jurors in the case had been were required to fill out a 50-page questionnaire including a question that asked: “Have you or a friend or family member ever been the victim of sexual harassment, sexual abuse, or sexual assault?”
The juror checked “No.”
The juror said in one of the interviews that he didn’t remember being asked that question, which was No. 48 on the form.
Defense lawyers for Maxwell asked the judge to immediately order a new trial, but she said she could not do so without questioning the juror.
After Nathan questioned the juror in early March, lawyers on both sides submitted written arguments. Prosecutors said the juror made an “honest mistake” and that it was “crystal clear” that Maxwell received a fair trial.
Maxwell’s lawyers disagreed.
“Excusing Juror 50′s false answers because he believes his concealed history of sexual abuse did not affect his ability to serve as a fair and impartial juror does not satisfy the appearance of justice,” they argued. “Only a new trial would.”

Will Smith resigns from film academy over Chris Rock slap
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Will Smith resigned Friday from the motion picture academy following his Oscars night slap of Chris Rock and said he would accept any further punishment the organization imposed.
A spokesperson for Smith issued a statement from the actor Friday afternoon.
“I will fully accept any and all consequences for my conduct. My actions at the 94th Academy Awards presentation were shocking, painful, and inexcusable,” Smith said in the statement.
“I betrayed the trust of the Academy. I deprived other nominees and winners of their opportunity to celebrate and be celebrated for their extraordinary work,” Smith’s statement said. “I am heartbroken. I want to put the focus back on those who deserve attention for their achievements and allow the Academy to get back to the incredible work it does to support creativity and artistry in film. "
Smith’s resignation came two days after the academy met to initiate disciplinary proceedings against Smith for violations against the group’s standards of conduct.
On Sunday, Smith strode from his front-row Dolby Theatre seat on to the stage and smacked Rock, who had made a joke at the expense of Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. Moments later, he went on to win the best actor award for his role in “King Richard.”
Rock, who was about to present Oscar for best documentary, declined to file charges when asked by police.

Jerrod Carmichael's latest stand-up special might be his most revelatory yet.
The acclaimed comedian comes out as gay in his new HBO special, "Rothaniel," a few years after he first referenced relationships with men in a previous film for HBO. (CNN shares parent company WarnerMedia with the network.)
In the intimate special, filmed by fellow comic Bo Burnham at a New York jazz club, Carmichael said he'd been "feeling like a liar" after his father's infidelity came to light within his family. He called his identity a "secret" that he kept from his immediate family, friends, colleagues and fans because he didn't want it to change others' perception of him.
"I thought I'd never, ever come out," he said in the special, which airs Friday night. "At many points in my life I thought I'd rather die than confront the truth of that, like, to actually say it to people."
Carmichael, who, in addition to his well-received stand-up specials, created and starred in the NBC sitcom "The Carmichael Show" with Loretta Devine and Lil Rel Howery, has broached the topic of same-sex relationships in his material before. In his 2019 HBO documentary short "Home Videos," he told his mother that he'd had relationships with men, a fleeting aside in a sprawling discussion. Discussing the film in an interview with the New York Times that year, he called the admission "a thing [he] said to [his] mom."
Since coming out to his mother, Carmichael said their relationship has suffered. (The New York Times' comedy critic Jason Zinoman reported Friday that, at a recent show, the comic said he hadn't spoken to his mother in months.) But coming out to those closest to him -- and now, his fans -- has made him "feel freer," too, Carmichael said in the new special.
Carmichael is also set to host "Saturday Night Live" the day after "Rothaniel's" release.

AJ Styles Comments On Rumors Of Cody Rhodes Returning To WWE
Posted By: Ben Jordan Kerin on Apr 01, 2022
Cody Rhodes is WWE bound for WrestleMania 38 this weekend, or at least that is the speculation from a number of top sources.
During an interview with Wrestling Inc, AJ Styles commented on the rumors:
“Listen, I haven’t seen Cody here, so I’ll believe it when I see it,” AJ claimed. “This is what we’ve been a part of for a couple, well I’ve been decades. There’s a lot of rumors, but you don’t believe something until you actually see it.”
“So, if Cody is going to be at WrestleMania, I will believe it when I see it,” stated Styles. “It’s one of those things that has happened to me throughout my 20 plus years of being in the business. I don’t believe anything until I see it. Because, so many times we have been promised so many things and they never happen. I am jaded, I guess you’d say. I know it sounds crazy.”

“In a post-COVID world, Panera is showing up for our guests and shifting with their ever-changing needs—whether they want to dine in or out, we have every possible option for them from rapid pick-up to delivery to curbside to contactless dine-in or drive-thru,” he adds.
When customers arrive, they’re greeted with an outdoor seating section and an updated “Mother Bread” logo that nods to Panera’s bakery legacy and its more than 30-year-old sourdough starter, says Chief Brand Officer Eduardo Luz. The insignia was refreshed to have the “Mother” directly facing customers, therefore “warmly inviting them to come break bread with us at Panera.”
The interior was developed with customer wayfinding in mind. The restaurant includes a pickup area near the door so to-go guests can enter/exit seamlessly without moving farther into the cafe and creating additional congestion.
“We were thinking about the efficiency of the entire experience for the customer and really at every single touch point that became the foundation of what we were trying to get accomplished,” Sopkin says. “We wanted this to be a more intuitive experience for our guests so that they fundamentally understand what the customer journey is, where they’re ordering, and how this flows, where they’re picking up there drinks. Take any of the guess work or confusion out of that.”
Placing an off-premises section near the entrance also signifies a shift in how Panera approaches delivery, Sopkin says. The chain built its own fleet of drivers in the years leading up to the pandemic, but the fast casual since moved toward an outsourced method. A little more than six months into the pandemic, delivery sales were up 100 percent, or more, depending on the market.
“We saw a pretty significant acceleration in that business overall as more and more people were migrating to the third-party delivery platforms,” Sopkin says. “Between the sales going up and then also changing the model and going to third party, that affected our design.”
Another goal, Sopkin notes, was to showcase what Panera was founded on—baking and fresh bread. An overhanging mirror reflects a multitude of treats, and bakery ovens and tables are in full view. In prior iterations, the process was more of a back-of-house discussion, but now, Sopkin says little is left to the imagination and baking has moved to the “heart of the experience.”
Although the restaurant industry is accelerating toward an off-premises-dependent world, Luz says, customers still value Panera’s dine-in atmosphere that “delights all their senses.”
“Our guests use our cafes as an extension of their own homes,” Luz says. “They cozily enjoy their meals by our fireplace. They love to watch our bakers create deliciousness right in front of their eyes and sample the latest creations. And of course, the aroma of freshly baked bread, straight from the oven, keeps our guests wanting to come back for more. The NextGen cafes incorporate all these rich dine-in experiences.”
For the back of house, the restaurant experimented with different layouts, but eventually opted for an integrated line, meaning food and beverages are produced in a centralized spot, regardless of how the customer orders.
The choice reduces labor costs and proved to be a more intuitive process for employees, Sopkin says. The size of the prototype can flex upward or downward depending on real estate, but in every box, the kitchen remains the same square footage; only the front of house and dining room seating changes.
In terms of drive-thru, Panera chose digital menuboards to ease friction and add a layer of engagement. Through geo-fencing technology, the restaurant is able to automatically pinpoint a MyPanera loyalty member when they arrive at the cafe. Once identified, the customer is greeted by name, and their experience becomes highly personalized.
For instance, consumers can easily re-order past favorites and Panera can leverage known preferences to offer recommendations and tips for better menu matches. In August, the fast casual reported 45 percent of sales were e-commerce, and its loyalty program comprised 44 million users.
During the pandemic, Panera’s pivot to more off-premises and digital orders was fueled by new deals like its MyPanera+ Coffee subscription program, which offers unlimited iced and hot coffee and hot tea for $8.99 per month—any size, any flavor, and redeemable every two hours. The company also debuted Flatbread Pizza, a portable food segment that saw record-breaking sales when dining rooms were restricted.
“Panera’s guests are very discerning,” Luz says. “They love delicious, chef-curated food that tastes amazing because it only uses the best ingredients. They also want omni-channel convenience as they live busy lives and don’t want to waste time.”

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Cannabist, a new medical cannabis dispensary held a ribbon cutting ceremony on Friday in Morgantown.
Cannabist is owned by Columbia Care Inc., and this new location will make the fourth Cannabist medical dispensary in West Virginia.

We take security very seriously and privacy very serious for our patients. When they get to the door, the guards will make sure that they do have a medical cannabis card issued by the state before they even get to come in,” said Stan.

In the immediate aftermath of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, reports made it clear that many of those involved had served in law enforcement or the military.
Dozens of active or former service members have been charged in connection to the Capitol riot, NBC News has reported. Some members of the violent extremist groups that participated in the attack, including the Proud Boys, the Oath Keepers and the Three Percenters, had military experience. That grim reality has prompted concern in Congress, displayed most recently in a House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs hearing Thursday focused on curbing violent extremism.
Committee Chair Mark Takano, D-Calif., opened the hearing by explaining why extremist groups seek out service members:
These groups value the leadership skills, combat experience, and the weapons training that veterans possess. Having veterans among their ranks also gives these groups an air of credibility. It allows them to project a false appearance of patriotism and duty that belies their true anti-government views, and racial, ethnic, and religious hatred.
He cited data showing veterans and active duty service members killed more than 300 people and injured nearly 2,000 more in attacks spanning from 1990 to 2021. Those attacks include the 1995 Oklahoma City bombings, the 2012 shooting at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin, the 2014 shooting at a Jewish community center in Kansas, and the 2018 shooting at a yoga studio in Florida.
Takano repeatedly emphasized that only a small percentage of veterans become extremists, and that violent extremism has been practiced by both liberals and conservatives. But he was clear that far-right extremism is the most dominant form in the U.S. today.
The hearing focused heavily on reasons why veterans become extremists.
One witness cautioned against narratives that paint veteran extremists as “misguided, troubled, broken people that are manipulated.”
“The sweeping use of this characterization is surely offensive to the countless veterans out there who live each day with trauma but choose not to abandon their oath or subvert our democracy,” said William Braniff, director of the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism and a founding board member of We the Veterans, a veteran advocacy nonprofit.
Pete Simi, a sociology professor at Chapman University with expertise in white supremacist groups, testified that these groups can, in fact, take advantage of service members’ shortcomings and disillusionment.
“Individuals who experience involuntary exit, such as dishonorable discharge, or even cases where a person fails to gain entry to specialized training can produce an identity crisis of sorts,” Simi said.
“Extremist recruitment often targets people experiencing these types of crises because they understand how to manipulate and take advantage of individual vulnerabilities," he added.
Democrats led the meeting, with Republicans repeatedly denouncing it as politicized and unnecessary. But the threat of violent extremism by veterans is clearly real. The fact that much of this extremism is fomented in the conservative movement is inconvenient for Republicans — but that obviously doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be investigated.

BERLIN (AP) — A Berlin court has sentenced a 93-year-old German woman to 12 months in prison for denying that Jews were systematically murdered during the Holocaust.
The Berlin regional court on Friday rejected an appeal by notorious neo-Nazi Ursula Haverbeck against two convictions for Holocaust denial in 2017 and 2020. Judges ruled that the sentence could not be suspended because Haverbeck had shown no remorse or signs of changing her views during the appeal hearings.
Haverbeck has repeatedly asserted that the Auschwitz death camp was just a work camp. In fact, historians say at least 1.1 million Jews were murdered there by the Nazis.
Haverbeck has already paid several fines and served at least 30 months for similar crimes.
The ruling can be appealed.

Jeopardy! host Mayim Bialik slammed for ‘nasty comment’ to Yian Chen for ‘ONLY being an anesthesiologist & not a doctor’
JEOPARDY! fans fumed after host Mayim Bialik made a "nasty comment" INSULTING a contestant's profession.
She called first-timer Yian Chen "only" an anesthesiologist and "not a doctor" in banter that flatlined.
During the meet-and-greet portion of the April 1 gameshow episode, host Mayim dug into one player with less-than-impressive precision.
Contestant Yian, an anesthesiologist from Menlo Park, California, told a story about how he mastered a claw machine with his grandmother sweetly leading to "winning an iPod," and eventually, becoming a doctor.
Mayim - hosting Season 38 when former contestant Ken Jennings isn't filling in - responded:
“That’s pretty awesome, but you didn’t become a surgeon, just an anesthesiologist."
Then, seemingly trying to splice together the contestant's story with his line of work she joked: "So you’re not fully digging into things."
Fans were baffled by the banter, as was Yian - as a blazer-clad Mayim concluded by doing a claw motion dismissively.
"Wait, was Mayim just putting anesthesiologists down?" one wondered.
"What a nasty comment towards his line of work," noted another.
Most read in TV
"Condescension has repeatedly shown to be part of Mayim’s brand," bashed a third.
"This seemed a bit insulting," wrote another, sharing the clip.
"Not a surgeon, 'just an anesthesiologist,' said Mayim Bialik on #Jeopardy I’m sure she didn’t mean it the way it sounded," one defended.
The average U.S. salary for an anesthesiologist is $405K per Salary.com
It's the second-highest-paying job in the world on average, per Wealthy Gorilla.
'I MISS KEN'
Another user summarized on Friday's awkward show: "I miss Ken Jennings. He’s more relatable and down to earth than Mayim Bialik. Hope you’ll choose him as permanent host."
Another wrote: I don’t dislike Mayim but I do dislike the pauses as she looks down at the answer. Ken is a #Jeopardy champion & the answers & flow of the show just come naturally to him."
"Hey! Mayim said Jeopardy instead of 'Single Jeopardy'!" another Twitter user wrote tonight.
The Big Bang Theory alum was earlier slammed for the term earlier this month, per TODAY - which doesn’t exist in the game.
"I will never do it again," she stated. "I'm doing my best."
After the tragic death of longtime host Alex Trebek, who passed away from stage four pancreatic cancer on November 8, 2020, Ken and Mayim took over as presenters of the popular game show.
They stepped up to the joint role following a brief stint from Mike Richards.
Mike resigned after fans slammed him for his past "misogynistic" comments.
New episodes of the classic game show air weekdays at 7pm EST on ABC.
Previous seasons are available to stream on Netflix with a subscription, and Jeopardy's 38th season will end on July 29, 2022.
The winner of Friday's episode was Nell Klugman from Brooklyn, New York - her first win, unseating Evan Roberts.

Fact check: Ad from Ohio Republican Josh Mandel falsely claims party rival Mike Gibbons said military service isn’t real work
By Daniel Dale, CNN
A new television ad from Ohio Republican Senate candidate Josh Mandel is centered on a false claim that Republican primary rival Mike Gibbons, a businessman, said that military service isn’t “real work.”
The Mandel ad features a direct-to-camera appeal from Sheila Nowacki, the mother of a Marine who was killed in Iraq in 2005. Before urging people to vote for Mandel in the name of “God and country,” Nowacki said: “Mike Gibbons has the nerve to say military service doesn’t count as real work. Marines like Josh Mandel, like my son Andy, risked their lives for our country. Their work is so much more important than Gibbons just making millions for himself.”
Facts First: Gibbons did not say that military service doesn’t count as real work. During a Republican primary debate on March 18, Gibbons disputed a Mandel claim about Gibbons’ investments and said Mandel “may not understand” the issue because “you’ve never been in the private sector in your entire life.” Though Mandel proceeded to get in Gibbons’ face and say, “I’ve worked, sir. Two tours in Iraq. Don’t tell me I haven’t worked,” Gibbons had never actually said that Mandel hadn’t worked or that military service isn’t work.
During the debate confrontation, Gibbons went on to say, “You don’t know squat about jobs.” Mandel repeated, “Two tours in Iraq. Don’t tell me I haven’t worked. Don’t tell me I haven’t worked.” Gibbons responded, “You don’t know squat. You don’t know squat.”
Those last two “you don’t know squat” comments, in which Gibbons didn’t specify he was talking “about jobs,” could perhaps be taken as belittling the knowledge people acquire by serving in the military. But the economic context seemed clear from Gibbons’ previous remarks. Regardless, there was certainly no claim from Gibbons that Mandel hadn’t worked at all.
In other words: Mandel inaccurately described Gibbons’ comments when confronting him in the moment, then proceeded to turn his inaccurate description into a scripted attack ad.
Mandel’s false attack is being supported by an allied Super PAC, USA Freedom Fund, that has launched a television ad baselessly alleging that “Mike Gibbons doesn’t believe military service is real work.”
Mandel’s campaign declined to comment. Nowacki did not respond to requests for comment. CNN could not reach the Super PAC for comment.

The Gibbons campaign released its own ad that correctly calls Mandel’s attack false. The Gibbons ad features a Marine veteran, Sgt. Jeremy Gons, saying Mandel is “lying” that Gibbons doesn’t respect military service. Gons added that Mandel made the false attack “the very week” Gibbons’ son, a Navy pilot, “was deployed overseas.”
Gibbons also released a video message in which he said he has “nothing but respect for those who have served,” discussed his son’s deployment, and said that while Mandel’s military service is honorable, “you shame yourself” by trying to use it to “lie” to voters.
“How dare you, Josh? I said you had never had a job in the private sector. It’s right there on tape,” Gibbons said.
Mandel’s career
Mandel, now 44, enlisted in the Marine Corps Reserve in 2000. He served for eight years and deployed to Iraq in 2004 and 2007.
In 2003, at age 26, Mandel was elected as a city councilman. He was elected as a state representative in 2006 and 2008, then as state treasurer in 2010 and 2014. He ran for the US Senate in 2012 and 2018, losing in the general election in 2012 and citing a family health issue when he dropped out of the primary in 2018.
False claims have featured prominently in Mandel’s 2022 campaign to fill the Senate seat that is being vacated by retiring Republican Sen. Rob Portman. One of Mandel’s regular applause lines is that the 2020 election was “stolen from Donald J. Trump.”
Gibbons, too, has made false claims about the 2020 election. CNN published a Wednesday fact check on two false election claims Gibbons uttered at debates in late March.

The Navy has announced that it will be naming a ship after the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
On Thursday, which marked the final day of Women's History Month, the Navy announced it would name a replenishment oiler ship the USNS Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
The ship is part of the John Lewis-class of replenishment oilers, which are named in honor of people who fought for civil and human rights, according to the Navy.
Other ships included in the class are named after prominent civil rights activists and leaders, such as former U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, two other former members of the Supreme Court, Earl Warren and Thurgood Marshall, and abolitionist Sojourner Truth.
The first ship in the class, named after the late congressman and civil rights icon John Lewis, was delivered in 2021.
"It is my absolute honor to name the next [replenishment oiler] after the Honorable Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She is a historic figure who vigorously advocated for women's rights and gender equality," Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro said in a news release. "[Ginsburg] is instrumental to why we now have women of all backgrounds, experiences and talents serving within our ranks, side by side with their male Sailor and Marine counterparts."
Ginsburg died in 2020 at age 87 after complications from metastatic pancreatic cancer. She served on the Supreme Court for 27 years.
Ginsburg was the second woman in history to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court behind Sandra Day O'Connor.
Classified as being the architect of the legal fight for women's rights in the 1970s, Ginsburg continuously led the fight in the courts for gender equality.
Del Toro named Ginsburg's daughter, Jane Ginsburg, as the ship's sponsor.
Replenishment oiler ships are responsible for transferring fuel to the Navy's operating carrier strike groups.
The ships have the ability to carry upwards of 162,000 barrels of oil, maintain significant dry cargo capacity, aviation capability and can travel at a speed of 20 knots, according to the Navy.

UK manufacturing growth hits 13-month low in March – PMI
British manufacturing expanded in March at the weakest pace in 13 months and price pressures, which had previously shown some signs of moderating, worsened, a survey showed on Friday.
The S&P Global/CIPS UK Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) fell to 55.2 – revised down from a preliminary “flash” reading of 55.5 – from 58.0 in February.
The survey’s gauge of new orders sank to its lowest level since January 2021, hurt by slowing domestic demand and the sixth drop in seven months for export orders.
Survey compiler S&P Global linked the weakness in export orders to geopolitical tensions, Brexit and ongoing difficulty with supply chains, though delays were their shortest since October 2020.
Overall, the survey pointed to tougher times ahead for Britain’s economy, with growth set to slow amid a global surge in inflation pressure, fuelled by turmoil in commodity markets following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“The end of the opening quarter saw a marked growth slowdown in the UK manufacturing sector,” S&P Global said.
The survey’s indicators of input costs and output prices rose in March after they had receded in previous months from record high levels, pointing to persistent inflation pressure.
Consumer price inflation hit a 30-year high of 6.2% in February and the government’s budget watchdog last week forecast it would go close to 9% in late 2022, contributing to the biggest fall in living standards since at least the 1950s.

PEORIA, Ariz. — The Seattle Mariners are shutting down right-handed reliever Ken Giles for at least a couple of weeks due to a tendon issue in his right middle finger.
Giles was expected to be a major part of Seattle’s bullpen after missing all last season following Tommy John surgery.
Giles had 23 saves and a 1.87 ERA in 53 appearances with Toronto in 2019. He pitched in just four games during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season before realizing he needed elbow surgery.
“Just gotta be patient. And trust me, I’ve done a lot of waiting and patience for the last over 500 days. So I think I can deal with a little bit longer,” Giles said.
Giles is the second injury in Seattle’s bullpen. Seattle lost reliever Casey Sadler for the season due to the need for shoulder surgery, but moved quickly to replace him by signing veteran Sergio Romo to a one-year deal.
Manager Scott Servais also said 2020 AL rookie of the year Kyle Lewis could start taking on a designated hitter role in minor league spring training games as he recovers from knee issues that limited him last season.

The army came marching from the east, its leaders, if not its rank-and-file fighters, filled with righteous indignation that these “bumpkins” would resist their betters. After all, these invaders had the military might, the wealth and the cultural history, they thought, to show themselves as superior. The citizen soldiers, forced to fight on behalf of the arrogant leader and his henchmen, were not so sure. The people they were marching against, attacking, pillaging and taking into custody for trial and execution were more like them than any enemy they had been told to hate. The lies fed to them portrayed these residents in the adjacent countryside as not respecting the government’s power, the interests of political leaders. Such insolence had to be tamed, they were told.
Ukraine today? Yes, but also North Carolina two-and-half centuries ago when Royal Gov. William Tryon, enabled by wealthy plantation-owners-cum-elected-legislators, marched into the then-backcountry to put down what they labeled a rebellion. It was not. We observed the 250th anniversary of the War of the Regulation last May, with its destroying of backcountry farmsteads and the colonial government’s punitive hanging of six North Carolina citizens that June.
People are also reading…
In the wake of that destructive invasion by a marauding army in 1771, some of the ex-Regulators emigrated, fled as refugees if you will — but that’s not the story we tell. Some, but not large numbers, maneuvered northwest around North Carolina’s barrier mountains, joining in the general southward migration of frontier settlers streaming down the Wilderness Road through the Valley of Virginia. By the following year, 1772, migrating colonists occupied lands in the Holston River valley. About 70 homesteads were sorted east along the Watauga River. All of them believed they were in Virginia, respectful of the Donelson Line, recently established by British Indian agents with the Cherokees. A few strayed over the boundary, but the accommodating Cherokees were willing to move it in places.
Settlers in these western hinterlands knew they were too far from any courthouse that could accommodate their recording of land transactions. Thus, did those Watauga settlers (actually in North Carolina) in the spring of 1772 organize themselves at Old Fields at Sycamore Shoals (Elizabethton, Tenn.) as the Watauga Association. They arranged for their own partial self-governance with the mutual signing of written agreements.
That written compact has been romanticized as more than it probably was. Because no copies survive, historians can only estimate its provisions. It is agreed, however, the articles did not create an independent government even though Lord Dunmore, Virginia’s royal governor, would later disparage it as a “dangerous example” of colonists thinking about independence. Still, the Watauga Association is a notable event in America’s formative history, its 250th anniversary to be grandly celebrated this coming April 9 in Elizabethton and throughout the year at Sycamore Shoals State Historic Site.
During the next four years leading to our Declaration of Independence, more land-hungry colonial settlers amassed on the border against Cherokee lands. Relationships with their Cherokee neighbors were cooperative at first until some of these westering folks — much as did those who had just chased some of them out of North Carolina — doubled down on their presumptions of superiority and took advantage of the Cherokees. As soon as North Carolina’s rebelling legislators had a good enough excuse, they mobilized an assault.
Just as we were declaring in Philadelphia that “all men are created equal,” Gen. Griffith Rutherford led 2,500 North Carolina militiamen to attack and destroy 30 Cherokee towns with the help of invading forces from Virginia, Georgia and South Carolina. They entered the Cherokee Nation intending to eradicate the Cherokee people, chasing women and children into the forest where they would perish in the coming winter without food and shelter. But that’s not the story we tell.
As we were becoming America, we were refugees and invaders, victims and perpetrators. We both survived and created those contradictory aspects of our collective story. Not all of that is the story we tell because some is not who we want to think we were — or are.
Most all Americans love America. Some love what they want to believe America once was. Some love what they hope America can yet become. Somehow, we have to survive creating one America for us all. But that’s not the story we are telling — to ourselves or to each other.
There’s battle lines being drawn
And nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong.

LIVINGSTON COUNTY, KY — The war in Ukraine has flooded social media and televisions for more than a month. Many of you may be watching the war unfold by scrolling through Facebook or reading articles online. However, the Dunning family as friends in Ukraine and have taken multiple trips there for mission work over the years.
Sam and Holly Dunning own a Kona Ice truck, but not for the reason you might think.
"We have been looking for a way to give a little bit more than we do, because we're not super wealthy people and don't really want to be," says Dunning.
A few years ago, they were looking for ways to help and give more to orphans. That's when they got the truck, which helps them make the money to give.
"We are able to do some things that we couldn't do a few years ago," says Dunning.
Through their mission work, they've met lifelong friends and have kept in touch with some of the orphans who have aged out of the system. One of them was called to fight against the Russian invasion.
"I can't imagine it. Yet, I look at that kid and think he has no mom to be crying for him. He has no dad to tell him this is what you do," says Dunning.
Like many, their hearts break for the country of Ukraine and knowing they might not be able to see their friends again — especially because they're involved with an orphan hosting program. Their last host daughter from Ukraine was with them at Christmas. Now, they can't get in touch with her.
"She was just in our house. Christmas Day she was opening presents with us. Then, you may never see her again. We were thinking this was probably going to be our next daughter. Instead, it's too bad you'll never see her again," says Dunning.
The Dunnings are working with the director of Hope for Orphans to create short-term and long-term plans to help Ukraine.

Ghislaine Maxwell judge unswayed by 'bombshell revelation' in upcoming TV series
(Adds judge's rejection of Maxwell's request to delay her decision to deny new trial)
By Jonathan Stempel
NEW YORK, April 1 (Reuters) - The U.S. judge who oversaw Ghislaine Maxwell's sex trafficking trial on Friday said a possible "bombshell revelation" from one juror was no reason to delay her decision not to overturn the British socialite's conviction and grant a new trial.
Circuit Judge Alison Nathan issued her decision five hours after one of Maxwell's lawyers highlighted an interview the juror gave for "Ghislaine: Partner in Crime," a yet-to-be-aired Paramount+ documentary examining Maxwell and her relationship with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
"The defendant provides no basis to conclude that the interview would affect the court's analysis or conclusion," Nathan wrote.
Lawyers for Maxwell did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Maxwell, 60, was convicted on Dec. 29 on sex trafficking and four other counts for helping Epstein sexually abuse underage girls.
The verdict became clouded when the juror, a man known as Juror 50, told media that he had revealed during jury deliberations that he had been sexually abused as a child, after failing to disclose it in a pretrial screening questionnaire.
After hearing from the juror in a March 8 hearing, Nathan concluded on Friday that the failure was "highly unfortunate, but not deliberate," and that the juror was not biased against Maxwell and could serve fairly and impartially.
The trailer for the Paramount+ series said Juror 50's "bombshell revelation" came in his "only in-depth interview" concerning Maxwell's case. Juror 50's lawyer said the interview took place on Jan. 4.
Paramount did not immediately respond to requests for
comment. The network is a unit of Paramount Global
Nathan was elevated this week to the federal appeals court in Manhattan but retained jurisdiction over Maxwell's case.

A couple was trying to get home but instead was left bruised and battered. Now the Denver Police Department is investigating the incident.
The boyfriend and girlfriend, both in their mid-twenties, did not want to share their names but decided to share details of the incident in hopes of warning others.
"We had ran into one of my friends and just got drinks with her at a bar... and we were about to leave. [We were] waiting for an Uber," the woman said.
The Uber never came, only an ambulance.
The couple said just before 1 a.m. on Sunday, while they were waiting for their ride at the intersection of 18th and Larimer, a man on a scooter nearly collided with them.
"He slammed his scooter down and was sort of being confrontational right away and got in my face," the boyfriend said. "Then he called his group over."
The pair said the group was comprised of at least four men and two women.
"A few of the female attackers came and started hitting me and punching me, and they pushed both of us to the ground. I remember one minute just laying on the ground and wondering when it's going to be over and just screaming and crying for help," the young woman said. "[My boyfriend] got a bloody nose, I got a black eye."
Bruises and abrasions are scattered on the couple's arms, and the skin around one of the young woman's eyes is markedly discolored.
Denver police said they're investigating the incident but could not provide additional details.
The couple said the Aurora Police Department is also involved, helping to track down the couple's stolen belongings and potentially the suspects.
"We were able to track my Apple watch to an address in Aurora," the young woman said.
While the two are expected to recover from all of their injuries, they hope others will heed their warning.
"I never thought something like this would happen in a million years, but it can happen to anybody's son or daughter." the girlfriend said.
According to Denver's crime map , the assault occurred in the Union Station neighborhood. Per the map's data, from Jan. 1 to March 28, there have been 44 incidents of violent crime in the Union Station neighborhood compared to 31 incidents during the same time frame last year. The city's measure of violent crime includes assaults, robberies and murders.
Denver7 has requested surveillance footage from nearby buildings. Anyone with information is asked to contact Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867.

3 Army soldiers, 9 others accused in gun trafficking ring
WASHINGTON — Twelve people, including three U.S. Army soldiers, are accused in a large-scale gun trafficking ring that prosecutors allege supplied nearly 100 guns to gang members in Chicago and led to at least two killings, the Justice Department said Friday.
The soldiers — Demarcus Adams, 21; Jarius Brunson, 22; and Brandon Miller, 22 — were enlisted in the Army and stationed at Fort Campbell in Kentucky, where they would legally purchase guns from local dealers in Tennessee and Kentucky, prosecutors charged.
The soldiers are accused of selling them to members of the Gangster Disciples street gang in the Pocket Town neighborhood on Chicago's south side, according to the 21-count indictment.
The indictment charges the group with conspiring to violate federal firearms laws, among other crimes. If convicted, the defendants face up to 20 years in prison.
The case is part of the Justice Department's push to investigate and prosecute gun trafficking amid rising crime across the U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland has vowed to prioritize prosecutions of firearms traffickers and so-called "straw purchasers," who legally purchase firearms to sell them to people who can't legally poses guns, often in states with more restrictive gun laws.
"The Justice Department will spare no resources to hold accountable criminal gun traffickers," Garland said at a news conference Friday. "There is no hiding place for those who flood our communities with illegal guns. It does not matter where you are, or how far away you are. If you illegally traffic guns, we and our law enforcement partners nationwide will find you."
Prosecutors allege Miller would receive orders from members of the Gangster Disciples in Chicago for specific guns to purchase and he, Brunson and Adams would then buy them from dealers in Clarksville, Tennessee and Oak Grove, Kentucky, and give them to gang members, who paid through money transfer apps, including Zelle and CashApp. Miller also advertised that he had 1,000 rounds of ammunition available for sale, prosecutors say.
Authorities believe the trio provided over 90 illegally obtained firearms to the gang "to facilitate the on-going violent disputes between the Pocket Town Gangster Disciples and their rival gangs," the Justice Department said.
Investigators believe one of the guns was used in a shooting at a party in Chicago last March that left one man dead, and seven others wounded. Another was used in a killing at a Chicago barbershop in January 2021, according to officials.
The nine others charged in the indictment are: Blaise Smith, 29; Rahaeem Johnson, 24; Bryant Larkin, 33; Corey Curtis, 26; Elijah Tillman, 24; Lazarus Greenwood, 23; Dwight Lowry, 41; and Dreshion Parks, 25, all of Chicago; along with Terrell Mitchell, 27, of Davenport, Iowa.
Two people who were alleged to be part of the conspiracy were killed "as a result of gang violence, which was facilitated by the firearms illegally transferred to individuals in the Chicago," prosecutors say.
The indictment spells out how Miller would exchange messages with his associates in Chicago to negotiate the prices of the guns.
"The silver one a 380 u still want it it's a steal," Miller wrote to Lowry in December 2020, the indictment says. Lowry wrote back, "Yup can't beat it," according to court papers.

Georgia Tech Extends Winning Streak in Thrilling Comeback vs Notre Dame
Georgia Tech Softball entered their matchup with Notre Dame on Friday night on an eight-game winning streak. The Yellow Jackets were trailing the 24th ranked Fighting Irish in the standings in the ACC and were in need of a win in South Bend. What a win they would earn by the end of the night.
Blake Neleman was the starting pitcher for the Yellow Jackets and she was opposed by Payton Tidd on the other side. The first inning did not see any action for either side. The Fighting Irish did put a runner on second but were unable to do anything with the baserunner.
Georgia Tech was able to get a leadoff walk to start the second inning with Carolina Davis being walked. Davis was able to advance to second on a sacrifice bunt from Bailee Zeitler and then was able to score on a two-out single from Jin Sileo, who has been playing fantastic as of late. Tech was able to go up 1-0 in the top of the second inning.
After keeping Notre Dame off the scoreboard in the bottom of the second inning, Georgia Tech was able to add to the lead. Auburn Dupree singled to get the inning started and then Mallorie Black had an RBI single to make it 2-0. After a double from Emma Kauf that got runners on second and third for Tech, Tricia Awald had an RBI single that made the game 3-0.
The third inning is where Georgia Tech really played well. Zeitler reached on a fielder's choice and got a run-in to make it 4-0.
Notre Dame was not going to go away quietly though. The Fighting Irish were able to score five runs quickly to make the game 5-4 in their favor.
A home run by Notre Dame in the bottom of the fourth gave Notre Dame a two-run lead at 6-4. Joley Mitchell then had an RBI single for the Fighting Irish to give Notre Dame a 7-4 lead.
Georgia Tech had an opportunity in the top of the fifth inning with the bases loaded, but the Yellow Jackets could not take advantage and the game remained 7-4.
Black did have an RBI single to make the game 7-5 in the top of the sixth, but that was all the Yellow Jackets could muster in the sixth.
The top of the seventh was where things got crazy. After Notre Dame scored another run to make it 8-5, it looked like the Yellow Jackets were all out of hope. Then Georgia Tech was able to score four runs in the top of the seventh to take the lead at 9-8.
It was an incredible finish to a great game and now, the Yellow Jackets have a nine-game winning streak. The two teams will meet again tomorrow.

Staff members and management at the opening of the new look Davis SuperValu Picture: Shelley Corcoran
If there is one name that’s synonymous with Longford’s long established retail sector it’s the Davis’.
The well respected and forward thinking family are celebrating the unveiling of their new look, ultra modern SuperValu store in a move which will see it become one of the most contemporary and customer focused stores in the country.
It comes after a nine week large-scale investment of its near 20,000 sq ft premises at the county town’s Hazelwood Shopping Centre.
The impressive finished product was revealed last week amid much excitement and enthusiasm among customers and its 70 strong workforce alike.
Among the many new eye-catching additions include a fully furnished Scratch bakery that will provide fresh bread and cakes on a daily basis, making it the only bakery of its kind in the county.
A newly refurbished deli, together with a wide ranging upgrade of both the store’s butchers and fish counters likewise form part of the store’s striking new layout.
One of the most exciting improvements is the rollout of a new kitchen which will provide for the preparation of freshly made, ready cooked meals thereby taking the hassle out of cooking for busy households.
Throw in the introduction of a new, bespoke “Happy Pear” section which will offer customers the choice of healthier, plant based products, it’s not hard to see why Davis’ SuperValu is arguably Longford’s leading grocery giant flagbearer.
What’s more, the store is now stocking a larger range of freshly cut cheese while it’s overriding belief in supporting local producers has seen it stock a wide array of products from the likes of O'Halloran's & Green's fresh eggs, Dromod Boxty, Richmond Cordial and St Mel’s Brewery.
In a further move and in keeping with the family run firm’s approach towards sustainability, the store has been fully retrofitted with LED energy saving lighting and modern energy efficient refrigeration.
It’s that ethos in sustainability, evidenced by its biodegradable coffee cups and plastic bags, which has taken centre stage in the company’s continuing drive to reduce its carbon footprint.
The remarkable overhaul coincides this year with the 65th anniversary of a family which can trace its retail lineage back no fewer than three generations.
Those origins can be traced back to 1957 when Fred and Amy Woods purchased a small shop on Ballymahon Street.
There, the husband and wife team converted the over the counter shop into the first self service store in the midlands.
When their eldest daughter Hazel married Ken Davis in 1964, aborted plans for the newly married couple to emigrate to New Zealand saw them take a leading role in the family business, where they remained until their retirement in 2010.
That came more than a decade and a half on from the business’ relocation from Ballymahon Street to the Market Square and more pivotally at a time which saw it join Ireland’s largest independently owned grocery and food distributor, SuperValu.
The family’s unerring desire to set the benchmark for an industry it had already been immersed in for the best part of a half a century saw the Davis's acquire a property at Townspark Industrial Estate in 2006.
It was a transition which ultimately paved the way for the construction of an 18000 sq ft purpose built supermarket alongside 180 car parking spaces and additional units for rental.
Four years later, a decision by Hazel and Ken to bow out into retirement saw the couple’s son Roy and wife Hilary assume the reins of the firm.
More than a decade later, the seal on arguably the business’ most breathtaking of chapters is all but sealed.
As part of that feat, Roy and Hilary have taken time this week to acknowledge all those who played their part in its successful realisation.
They include Oscar Bacete the Store Designer in Musgraves, our SuperValu Regional Manager Eoghan Jones & Fresh Food Managers Denis Nolan & Enda Tobin and the fresh food team from SuperValu who provided training and advice on a new range of products.
Similar thanks were afforded to Tommy & Paul from Cloverhill who worked hard training the store’s team of bakers in developing a new range of products for their in-store bakery now trading as Mrs D's.
Suppliers such as Coolrite Refrigeration, Domas Lighting, Storefit, Footfall, Quinlan Engineering, Kevin Wilson Ceiling & Walls, City Tilers, Blenders, Carthy Meats, Morgan’s Fresh Fish, Mark Leavy and his crew of merchandisers as well as the business’ own talented member of staff Pauline O'Reilly who provided the decorations and beautiful window displays for the opening.
“The project wouldn't have been completed on time without the help of our plumber Steven Reilly and electrician John Farrell who burnt the midnight oil on many nights over the 9 weeks,” said a plainly delighted Roy and Hilary.
“There are many others who bailed us out during the renovation but we have to single out our manager Martina Craig and our wonderful staff who pulled out all the stops to get the shop ready for (last) Thursday.
“We would also like to acknowledge our loyal customers who put up with the chaos over the past nine weeks and we hope you enjoy the new shopping experience at Davis SuperValu.”
From the evidence over the past week and more, it’s an experience which looks set to revolutionise Longford’s supermarket industry for not just years, but decades to come.

We regularly answer frequently asked questions about life during the coronavirus crisis. If you have a question you'd like us to consider for a future post, email us at goatsandsoda@npr.org with the subject line: "Weekly Coronavirus Questions." See an archive of our FAQs here.
I live in a place where case counts are dropping. I know they could go back up again, but in the meantime, what COVID precautions are advisable (if any) and what precautions can be put on hold?
First things first: The pandemic isn't over. The current surge in Hong Kong, for instance, has produced the highest reported death rate over the past two-plus years of COVID. And the U.S. still has 700 COVID deaths a day — far fewer than a couple of weeks ago but still a staggering and tragic count.
And the highly transmissible variant omicron BA.2 that's causing surges in some countries is now the dominant variant in the U.S. and could bring a surge.
But for the vaccinated and boosted in places where numbers are trending downward, times have changed — at least for the moment. Mandatory and even voluntary mask-wearing is on the wane. (If you don't believe me, come to my neighborhood coffee shop where half the servers and customers are masked and half aren't.)
If you're fortunate enough to live and work in a community where numbers are dropping, it is indeed an appropriate moment to assess your own risks and the risks of those in your inner circle. And then perhaps adjust your personal precautions.
As Dr. Preeti Malani puts it, you might decide to "dial it down" precaution-wise but also be prepared to "dial it up" if things change. She's an infectious disease doctor and the chief health officer at the University of Michigan.
For example, if you've only been an outdoor diner at restaurants, you might weigh going indoors, Malani says — keeping in mind that there are ways to minimize any potential COVID exposure.
"Maybe go when it's not super-crowded, sit in the corner where fewer people are crowded up against you or at a table where you're not that close to other people, wear a mask when you're not eating," she suggests. She also recommends picking a restaurant with good ventilation — "it matters a lot" in terms of disrupting the flow of exhaled pathogens. "I'm thinking of restaurants with high ceilings and open windows, not a cramped basement."
You also might avoid indoor settings where people are shouting a lot, she notes. "Tonight my Wolverines are playing against Villanova. I'm gonna watch it with some friends at home, not in a crowded bar."
The decision to ease up (or not) is highly personal. That's a key point made by the three experts we interviewed.
Some people are sticking with their pandemic precautions because they are at high risk of severe disease or have regular contact with others in that category. This would include the over-60 set, the immunocompromised, people who regularly see an elderly relative or babies (who are more vulnerable than toddlers).
And it's hard to give up habits that are two years old, notes Dr. Jill Weatherhead, assistant professor of adult and pediatric infectious diseases at Baylor College of Medicine. COVID-19 precautions are "engrained in your daily behaviors," she says. "Lifting mitigation strategies now can be especially difficult for those who work in health-care settings, have lost individuals to COVID-19 or are high-risk of severe disease."
Yet it's also nice to re-embrace old routines. Infectious disease doctor Abraar Karan is back in the gym and going at times when the place isn't packed and wearing a mask. When he took his mask off for a drink of water one day, he was struck by the ... er ... aroma of gyms. Which, as you may recall, is not exactly lilacs and roses. "When I was in the gym and took my mask off to drink water, I forgot how bad it stinks," he says. So that's an added benefit to wearing a mask in a place where people may be breathing heavily (and sweating as well).
Of course there will inevitably be times when you're just not sure what to do. Say you're back at work and masked and get invited to a meeting in a small room where you're uncertain about the air circulation — and where people are masked but with a variety of masks, from the less effective cloth variety to the highly effective N95/KN95.
Feeling uneasy? Karan notes that in the hospital where he works, "we have meetings like this all the time. Everyone is wearing surgical masks. And we have not had any outbreaks." Why the blue surgical masks and not the more effective N95s? Those masks were used during meetings in January and February when there were a lot of cases, he says, and there was more concern about possible transmission in staff meetings. That's not the case at this point in time. Also, surgical masks are less expensive.
And of course "you can use a higher grade mask if you have personal concerns," he says.
Another point to keep in mind: "We've forgotten that distance also makes a difference" in terms of risks of infection, says Malani. Staying six feet or so from others will reduce your risk of infection. So it's okay to avoid the main table at a meeting room — or even ask to use a Zoom option if that's possible — to reduce chances of infection.
As people assess their degree of caution, they'll also likely weigh what's happening in their life. Going on a trip or special outing? You might ramp up your protective measures say a week or so in advance so you don't come down with COVID that could result in a positive PCR test if you're flying out of the country or just put your outing on hold. That kind of pre-trip mindset can also be helpful in avoiding the fate of two of my acquaintances, who traveled out of the country and soon learned they had COVID and had to isolate in their hotel rooms for days.
Expecting a visitor who's flying in from a surge area? Have them mask up for 3 to 5 days and then take a COVID test. "That gives you a little extra assurance," says Malani.
The other thing that humanity has to keep in mind is that we all have to respect each other's choices. "The big message is that at this point [if you live in an area] with levels low, everyone has to evaluate their own risk, their own family's risk," says Weatherhead. And those decisions, she stresses, "should be respected" by all.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) — Former U.S. women’s national team star goalkeeper Hope Solo was arrested after she was found passed out behind the wheel of a vehicle in North Carolina with her 2-year-old twins inside, police said.
A police report said Solo was arrested on Thursday in a shopping center parking lot in Winston-Salem and charged with driving while impaired, resisting a public officer and misdemeanor child abuse. She has been released from jail and has a court date of June 28, the report indicated.
According to an arrest warrant, a passerby noticed Solo passed out behind the steering wheel for more than an hour with the vehicle's engine running and the two children in the backseat. A responding officer could smell alcohol, and the warrant said that Solo refused a field sobriety test and her blood was drawn instead.
Rich Nichols, a Texas-based attorney who represents Solo, released a statement Friday but didn't respond to specific questions on the charges and said his client wouldn't respond, either.
“On the advice of counsel, Hope can’t speak about this situation, but she wants everyone to know that her kids are her life, that she was released immediately and is now at home with her family, that the story is more sympathetic than the initial charges suggest, and that she looks forward to her opportunity to defend these charges,” Nichols said.
Solo was dismissed from the national team following the 2016 Olympics in Brazil after calling the Swedish team “cowards” for taking a defensive stance against the defending gold medalists, ending a laudable playing career that was also marred by controversy.
She was suspended for 30 days in early 2015 after she and husband Jerramy Stevens were pulled over in a U.S. Soccer-owned van and Stevens was charged with DUI. She was also benched after publicly questioning coach Greg Ryan’s decision to start Briana Scurry against Brazil during the 2007 World Cup, comments many saw as a slight against Scurry.
Solo was also involved in an altercation with family members in 2014 that resulted in Solo’s arrest, although charges in that case were eventually dropped.
Solo made 202 appearances with the national team, with 153 wins and an international-record 102 shutouts. She won a World Cup title and two Olympic gold medals with the team.
During the 2015 World Cup championship run, she allowed just three goals in seven games with five shutouts.
She was elected to the U.S. Soccer Hall of Fame in January. The induction ceremony is set for May 21.
Solo married Stevens, a former tight end for the Seattle Seahawks and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, in 2012. The couple have twins, Vittorio Genghis and Lozen Orianna Judith Stevens, born on March 4, 2020.

A Michigan man said that when he went to a comedy show on Saturday, he returned to his car to find it had received a parking ticket while parked on a private lot.
He wasn't laughing. He said he had parked there legitimately.
"I pulled in the lot. Flagged in, actually flagged into the lot by a couple of guys. They said $20 parking. I gave the guy $20," Matt Wilkinson recalled.
He said, "Then I went to the show, I came back and I had a $50 ticket on my window."
The ticket wasn't from the City of Detroit. It was issued by Olympia Development which owns the lot. Wilkinson said he approached the woman he saw writing tickets.
He explained, "She said...'This lots closed sir.' I said... 'This lot is not closed. The entrances are wide open. A hundred other cars are sitting here with me. How is it closed?'"
The man said he was told to call the number on the back of the ticket to dispute it. Wilkinson said he's concerned that there's no signage indicating the lot's closed, and he said whoever collected his money when he parked must have been a scam artist.
After calling and emailing Olympia Development about the citation, Wilkinson said he received a phone call, an apology, and a free parking pass from the company.
Wilkinson said, "They say they voided all those tickets, but what happened last week, the week before they did that to people that didn't know?"
On Wednesday, construction workers showed up and started measuring the lot's perimeter. One said they're preparing to build a fence.
Can a private company issue parking tickets?
Olympia Development said in a statement:
"Occasionally, we issue citations for vehicles parked in spaces marked reserved for residents or tenants or restricted for other reasons. In this situation, our parking team mistakenly issued a citation," said Ed Saenz, Olympia Development of Michigan's Director of Communications.
Saenz said tickets issued that night were voided. A spokesperson for the City of Detroit said this is a private matter that has nothing to do with the city government or its municipal parking department.
Similar to a property owner being able to tow an illegally parked vehicle, a private parking lot can issue a citation. However, enforcement is another issue and may come in the form of small claims court.

DOJ: Man in shootout with Shawano County deputy took his own life
SHAWANO COUNTY, Wis. (WBAY) - The Wisconsin Department of Justice believes a man who exchanged gunfire with a Shawano County deputy last Friday died at his own hand.
The deputy responded to a woman calling 911 from a home on Oak Ave. in the Town of Richmond just before 4 in the afternoon. The deputy arrived in time to see a man shoot a woman outside a nearby storage building.
The state Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) says it confirmed the deputy fired their weapon but, based on “initial evidence” the man took his own life. The woman and the man both died at the scene.
The DCI is leading the investigation with assistance from the Wisconsin State Patrol.
The names of the people involved have not been released by any agency.
The deputy is on administrative leave, which is standard procedure in officer-involved shooting investigations.
Action 2 News reporter Megan Kernan called the number for the storage facility and spoke to a man who identified himself as the owner. He said one of the individuals who died was a tenant of his but did not provide further specifics.
“DCI is continuing to review evidence and determine the facts of this incident and will turn over investigative reports to the Shawano County District Attorney when the investigation concludes,” reads a statement from DCI.
INITIAL REPORT
A member of the Shawano County Sheriff’s Office has confirmed a shooting happened at a location outside of Shawano Friday.
The local law enforcement is turning the investigation over to the Wisconsin Department of Justice Division of Criminal Investigation, according to a chief deputy with the department.
We don’t have any information yet about the shooting and what happened. Action 2 News is at the scene and will continue to work to get you more details.
Police have blocked Oak Avenue near the scene. This is in Thornton, just outside of Shawano. The scene is near a storage facility.
Action 2 News will keep you updated on this breaking news story.

NORFOLK, Va. (AP) – COVID-19 hospitalization numbers have plunged to their lowest levels since the early days of the pandemic, offering a much needed break to health care workers and patients alike following the omicron surge.
The number of patients hospitalized with the coronavirus has fallen more than 90% in more than two months, and some hospitals are going days without a single COVID-19 patient in the ICU for the first time since early 2020.
The freed up beds are expected to help U.S. hospitals retain exhausted staff, treat non-COVID-19 patients more quickly and cut down on inflated costs.
More family members can visit loved ones.
And doctors hope to see a correction to the slide in pediatric visits, yearly checkups and cancer screenings

Season In Photos: Men’s Basketball Finishes In Big East Basement
Despite being picked for a fourth-place finish in the preseason coaches poll, the Johnnies limped to a seventh-place spot in the Big East.
There was a hunch that the Big East conference would be at its best in the 2021-22 season, given it regained Connecticut in the prior campaign and was considering expansion for the first time since the 2010-2013 realignment. Few expected the conference to be quite as good as the season shook out, with six teams qualifying for the NCAA Tournament and a couple bubble teams faltering down the stretch. Gaining an arsenal of transfer students to compliment the solidified All-Big East talents Julian Champagnie and Posh Alexander, the Johnnies’ were slated to finish fourth in the preseason coaches poll. But when the games were played, the St. John’s Men’s Basketball team never found a consistent rhythm, and the Big East field was a cut above. Here’s how the 2021-22 Men’s Basketball season turned out, in photos.
Tip-Off 2021: Students “Show Out” For First Ticketed Event Since 2020
The St. John’s point guard Posh Alexander smiles ahead of the return of Tip-Off, the annual preseason event marking the start of the Men’s and Women’s basketball season. The first ticketed event since the COVID-19 pandemic was a resounding success, with over 4,000 students in attendance.

St. John’s pummelled Mississippi Valley State, the worst team in Division I according to both offensive and defensive statistics, to the tune of 119-61 enroute to their eighth straight victory to open their season on Tuesday, Nov. 9 at Carnesecca Arena.
It was a historic victory for the Johnnies despite the subpar competition as they scored the most points in a game since 1990, when the Red Storm scored 135 in a program-best effort against Central Connecticut State. Their 58-point margin of victory was their largest in over half a century, when they won by 60 points in a game on Nov. 28, 1951.
St. John’s Falls to Kansas, 95-75, in First Ever Basketball Game at UBS Arena
Sophomore guard Dylan Addae-Wusu steps to the charity stripe against Kansas, an eventual No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. The Johnnies found themselves down early, and couldn’t overcome the sluggish start, a theme that would continue throughout the season.
Montez Mathis charged the court in a fast-break against the Kansas defense. Despite multiple efforts to erase the deficit, the Red Storm faltered and the Jayhawks pulled away in the game’s final minutes. The game represented one of two chances to secure a signature non-conference victory, and ignited criticism over the team’s scheduling.
St. John’s Makes Their Bench Presence Felt in 82-64 Win vs. Colgate
Rafael Pinzon, the freshman point guard who bolstered the Red Storm backcourt early in the season, was subbed in versus Colgate and provided tremendous energy. Pinzon sank a three-point goal less than a minute after entering the game and followed with a two to trim Colgate’s lead to one point. From that point on, it was all St. John’s. The win — against an eventual NCAA Tournament team — coincided with star forward Julian Champagnie’s thousandth career point.
St. John’s Drops the Gotham Classic Finale, 59-57 at Madison Square Garden
Just hours before tip-off, it was reported that St. John’s star forward Julian Champagnie had a breakthrough positive COVID-19 case and would be unavailable for the noon game at Madison Square Garden versus Pittsburgh in the Gotham Classic finale. St. John’s coach Mike Anderson said the team was notified a few days earlier, significantly shifting the game plan. “That’s the adjustment for a team,” Anderson said. “That’s one of your leading scorers [that can’t play], but I told our guys someone else has to step up.”
St. John’s fell to Pittsburgh 59-57 in their first game at Madison Square Garden with fans since the cancelation of the 2020 Big East Tournament. In the midst of another COVID-19 outbreak in sports, the Gotham Classic finale was not left untouched. Anderson replaced Champagnie with Aaron Wheeler and left the starting five around him untouched from previous contests. The group started off both slow and inefficient on offense, battling at the glass on both ends of the court. By the end of the contest, St. John’s was downright embarrassed by a largely unthreatening Pittsburgh team.
COVID-19 Outbreak Forces Postponements
In response to a slew of cancelations across the league, the Big East reversed course and offered the possibility of rescheduled games. “Under the modified policy, a Conference game will be canceled in the event a school has fewer than seven scholarship players and one countable coach available for a game,” it was announced in a statement. “The BIG EAST Conference Office will attempt to reschedule any such game(s) in accordance with parameters approved by BIG EAST Directors of Athletics.”
In the event a game cannot be rescheduled, it will be designated as a no-contest rather than a forfeiture. As part of the announcement, any game previously designated as a forfeit would be rescheduled for a later date.
On Dec. 23rd it was announced that COVID-19 issues within the St. John’s program forced the cancelation of a home game versus Butler. It was never confirmed which players tested positive, but due to the new Big East protocols, we can say that at least four to five players tested positive in addition to Champagnie.
Since the policy was changed, there was no reason for St. John’s to delay canceling games. On Dec. 27th, the athletic department announced that the program’s next two games would be canceled against Marquette and Georgetown. It would be a total of 18 days since the team’s last game against Pittsburgh before the Johnnies would take the floor again, including a total of four postponements. The game versus Marquette would never be played due to scheduling conflicts between the two programs.
St. John’s Secures Dominant Win Versus Georgetown At The Garden
The first Big East conference game at Madison Square Garden in the 2021-22 basketball season was against Georgetown, the reigning Big East Tournament champions that would conclude the entire conference slate without a victory. Champagnie, who is pictured finishing at the basket, scored 25 points joining a total of five Johnnies in double figures.
Champagnie celebrates with a teammate on the way to a dominant, 88-69 victory, in a game that the Georgetown Hoyas never led. When the season concluded, the contest was the only regular-season win at Madison Square Garden.
Anderson Unable To Reconcile Lost Season After Dropping Second Straight Game
An unfathomable scoring drought to end the game wasted an admirable effort from St. John’s for the better part of 30 minutes, leaving fans, players and coaches searching for answers amidst a lost season. The 63-60 loss versus No. 24 Connecticut, in the first matchup with the Huskies at home since they departed the conference nearly ten years ago, was the latest evidence of a Red Storm team unable to close out a must-win game.
The team missed 16 layups in the contest, which had been an issue all season. Same with shooting percentage, rebounding and free-throw shooting — essentially, all of the components of a good offensive basketball team.
“The amount of lay-ups we miss a game is unacceptable,” said junior forward Julian Champagnie, who had been fighting through the worst slump of his career, after the loss. “We have to get better at it, that goes for myself and everybody else.” As to why such an experienced, veteran team is struggling with trivial components to the game of basketball, no one had an answer.
“Carnesecca After Dark” Ends In Gloom Against No. 15 Providence
Nyiwe hanged from the rim after going up for the board in a late-night, Top-25 matchup at Carnesecca Arena. St. John’s played close with league-leading No. 15 Providence in front of a full house in Queens, but ultimately came up short against the Friars, 86-82, despite an attempt at late-game heroics.
With a packed house behind them, the Red Storm channeled the deafening volume of St. John’s fans onto their on-court play. “We really appreciate the fans coming out and supporting us,” Posh Alexander said in a postgame media conference. “It’s still great to have them in the gym cheering us on.” Both teams came out with an up-tempo performance reminiscent of the Johnnies’ last win at Seton Hall.
“I thought we were in attack mode and our defense was really in tune,” Anderson said. It was all centered around Alexander on Tuesday night, who willed himself to the basket with on and off-ball screens throughout the game’s final minutes.
Red Storm Unable To Close Out Whiteout Game, Fall To Creighton, 81-78
In a tale that had become all too familiar for Red Storm fans this season, the Men’s Basketball team was unable to close out a must-win game despite leading with just over three minutes remaining in regulation. The team failed to score again for nearly three minutes, culminating in the 81-78 loss to Creighton on Wednesday, Feb. 23 at Carnesecca Arena.
Johnnies Destroy Blue Demons, Advance to Big East Quarterfinals
St. John’s pummeled DePaul in a tremendous post-season performance, 92-73, in the opening round of the Big East Tournament on Wednesday, March 9. With stupendous defense and passing, boasting behind-the-back tosses and lob attempts, the team looked like the pressure of the conference tournament had not fazed them. Julian Champagnie — the star junior forward — stole the show, scoring 24 points to lead his team to an easy victory against a team they struggled with late in the season.
A Tale Of Two Halves: St. John’s Blows A 17-Point Lead Versus No. 2 Villanova
The St. John’s Men’s Basketball program hasn’t advanced to the Big East Tournament Semifinals in 22 years, and for the better part of their tournament run, it looked like the drought was destined to end. The Red Storm blew out DePaul in the opening round Wednesday night — the largest margin of victory in a conference tournament game since 2010. Against No. 2 Villanova, the No. 7 St. John’s team was in control for 30 minutes, but let their lead slip to suffer a heartbreaking loss, 66-65, in the Big East Quarterfinals on Thursday, March 10.
St. John’s Bids To Host NIT Game At Carnesecca Arena, Goes Unselected In Consolation Tournament
The Torch reported on March 12, 2o22 that the St. John’s Athletic Department was preparing in advance of the NIT Selection Show, which was scheduled to air just after the NCAA Selection Show. The program had put in to host a first-round NIT game on Tuesday, March 15 at 6 or 7 p.m or Wednesday, March 16 at 6 or 7 p.m. at Carnesecca Arena.
Few teams declare their intent to host such games, and the St. John’s bid was likely a signal to the selection committee that the team would accept a tournament spot, if selected. In the prior season, the team declined entry to the NIT due to COVID-19 concerns and alleged internal turmoil within the program.
The NIT bracket slowly filled up, and St. John’s was nowhere to be found. The team was the highest-ranked program in the country to not appear in a postseason tournament, according to KenPom rankings. The program had high expectations all season, as the fans, media and coaches waited for the Johnnies to figure out their lingering issues. In the end, it never happened.
“If you watched the team, they just kind of rolled over the whole season,” Anderson said after the team’s Big East Tournament elimination. “You saw a team that probably could and should have been [in the] NCAA [Tournament.]”

UK set for 'thousands' more wind farms to treble the amount of energy currently generated across the country
- Officials have been asked to draft plans for 30 gigawatts of onshore wind to be generated by 2030
- Plans would see the amount of energy generated from it rise to 45Gw by 2035
- Achieving this would require the construction of around 7,000 wind turbines
- Targets are part of plans commissioned by Boris Johnson and Kwasi Kwarteng
Thousands of extra onshore wind farms could be built to treble capacity in the UK as part of the Government's energy strategy.
Officials have been asked to draft plans for 30 gigawatts of onshore wind to be generated by 2030. The plans would see the amount of energy generated from it rise to 45Gw by 2035 – up from the current 15Gw.
Achieving this would require the construction of around 7,000 wind turbines, according to industry estimates. The targets are part of plans commissioned by Boris Johnson and Kwasi Kwarteng, the Business Secretary. No decisions will be made until next week.
The Prime Minister has been under pressure to use fracking to bring down energy prices. It involves injecting liquid at high pressure into rocks to force open cracks and extract oil or gas, but it has been blamed for earth tremors.
Officials have been asked to draft plans for 30 gigawatts of onshore wind to be generated by 2030. The plans would see the amount of energy generated from it rise to 45Gw by 2035 – up from the current 15Gw
Cuadrilla had been told to plug its two wells in Lancashire by the end of June, but on Thursday the North Sea Transition Authority gave the fracking firm another year to evaluate options for the sites.
The energy security strategy is set to be published next week after repeated delays over Treasury concerns about the cost of new nuclear power plants.
It is expected to include a target to increase the share of electricity from nuclear from 15 to 25 per cent by 2050.
Ministers were told they risked a backlash from MPs on wind farms, especially from rural constituencies. This week Mr Johnson said that offshore wind has 'massive potential' but made no mention of onshore turbines.

Winning a Big Sky Championship might not happen for every team at the University of Northern Colorado, but that doesn’t negate the talent of the individual student-athletes. In fact, the track and field team features two who could be NCAA All-Americans, world champions or even Olympians.
UNC coach Wayne Angel oversees track, field and cross country. His staff added graduate student triple jumper Qwazon Al-Khaliq and freshman distance runner Regina Mpigchai to its track and field roster this season.
Both athletes have impressed on the league level and are gaining attention on the national stage.
“You don’t usually get athletes like that very often,” Angel said. “Qwazon is a grad student and Regina is just a freshman. I think those two have a chance to make All-America this year if we can keep pushing it. It’s a coach’s dream.”
Al-Khaliq set a new program record for the indoor triple jump earlier this year, breaking teammate Welre Olivier’s record from last season. He won the event at the Stanford outdoor meet just a couple weeks ago to earn the conference’s current leading mark. Second place is held by Olivier.
Mpigchai placed third in the 800 meter run at the Big Sky Indoor Championships, a huge accomplishment in a field that’s often dominated by Northern Arizona. She currently holds the fourth-best time in the league since the outdoor season started.
Angel said he expected them to succeed. Al-Khaliq was already established on the collegiate level, while Mpigchai earned two Tanzanian U18 national titles before coming to Greeley.
Neither athlete, however, has reached their ceiling. That’s exciting for their personal careers and the program.
“(Their success) means a lot because it brings notoriety to the university and puts us on the map,” Angel said. “A while back, this university – back in the 80s – used to be really good at track and field. We’re trying to bring it back to that level, so we’re excited about that.”
Going out with a bang
One day during basketball practice, a young Al-Khaliq jumped from the free throw line and touched the hoop. His coach was impressed and suggested he be a jumper on the track and field team.
Then a sophomore in high school, Al-Khaliq decided to try it out. He’d always been an energetic kid – at least outside of the house – and he clearly had natural talent.
“I jumped a few times, and it was history. There was no question about it,” Al-Khaliq said. “I dedicated myself to the sport right after that.”
Originally from Atlanta, Al-Khaliq spent a chunk of his childhood playing sports. At one point, a football coach thought he could eventually get to the collegiate and professional level. He even participated on the swimming team.
But once he discovered jumps, it was over. He loves the athleticism, the technical aspects, and that it’s just fun. The grad student typically spends a couple hours each day watching videos of jumps – of opponents and of his own – to see where he can improve.
“When you think of the jumps, it’s a mixture of every single event on the track,” Al-Khaliq said. “Triple jump specifically incorporates speed, power, coordination and balance.”
It might sound silly to some people, but he really loves the event.
In fact, that’s something that attracted him to the program. Al-Khaliq transferred to UNC from Kennesaw State, which is within the Atlanta metro area. Current jumps coach Ed Loyd, a former All-American, was at Kennesaw State during Al-Khaliq’s early seasons before taking a job at Tennessee Tech.
Loyd took over this season, after Leevan Sands took a job at Florida State, and reconnected with his former student-athlete.
Al-Khaliq said the coaching staff is “phenomenal” and called Loyd a father figure. He’s received personal and athletic support, while getting to participate in high-level competition. UNC might be a mid-major program, but it competes alongside the best, and that’s what Al-Khaliq has been searching for.
When it comes to his teammates, he said they provide a great environment. Even though he’s one of the better jumpers, their passion, energy and drive to be better fuels him, too.
Olivier had national success in his home country of South Africa and continues to be one of the best in the league. His father was an elite jumper, as well. Tyler Thimsen, Thierry N’Seboko and Maccee Reed might not be breaking records, but Al-Khaliq holds a lot of respect for them. Their work ethic and dedication deserves it.
During the indoor season, the UNC triple jump squad ranked No. 2 behind Purdue. It had been ranked No. 4 but jumped – no pun intended – Oklahoma and Houston after Al-Khaliq’s record-setting number.
They want to build on that in the outdoor season and earn top finishes. Al-Khaliq would like to be in the top five, but the top three would be even better. He hopes to qualify for the World Championship – he’s just two feet off the mark – and set himself up for a shot at going to Paris in 2024.
That can be done, Al-Khaliq says, with the coaching he’s receiving at UNC.
“This is great because I’ve been injured most of my college career. This is my first time being at practice every day. I’m competing full time for the indoor season,” Al-Khaliq said. “This is my first time in six years. I’m like, ‘Yo, I’m finally able to live up to my potential.’ It’s great to be able to go out with a bang.”
‘A force to be reckoned with’
On the other side of the roster, Mpigchai is making waves as a freshman in the distance running events.
The freshman from Tanzania wasn’t sure she would adjust quickly. She didn’t even train outside for a couple of days after Greeley got its first measurable snow.
“I didn’t think I would do good like this, because this is my first time (away) from my country,” Mpigchai said. “We don’t have snow. It’s really hot in my country, but here it is really cold.”
She is used to running two laps and being drenched in sweat, not having to bundle up, and thought overcoming that would be a challenge. The first few weeks were definitely tough, but Mpigchai acclimated well and has been a top competitor ever since.
“When a person comes from my country to come here to the U.S., it’s really hard for the first month,” she said. “But you can find me (outside) now. I’m OK, I can stay out.”
Mpigchai started running in primary school – or what Americans often call elementary school – before earning a scholarship to the Filbert Bayi Secondary School.
Bayi, an esteemed runner from Tanzania, founded the school to provide top education and athletic training to budding athletes. He set world records in the 1,500 meters in the 1970s, and he still holds the Commonwealth Games record for the event.
Mpigchai attributes so much of her success and place at UNC to Bayi – whom she calls her role model – from getting the scholarship to how he instills the same passion for running into the students. She is also grateful for the support of the coaching staff and her teammates, who have been key in her big start.
While she doesn’t have a world record yet, she’s on her way to a wonderful career.
Mpigchai broke the school record for the mile at the Gene Edmonds Invite at Purdue in January. One week later, she won the 300 meter at the Corky Classic at Texas Tech and set a school record. She placed first in the 800 at the Mark Colligan Invite, hosted by Nebraska, also in January.
In addition to the individual Big Sky bronze, Mpigchai earned a second bronze medal at the Indoor Championships after the Bears’ performance in the 4×400 meter relay.
“Having just two months (to prepare), I was really happy,” Mpigchai said. “It was my first time here, and then I got a medal.”
Mpigchai hopes to have even better results as things progress and believes she will accomplish those goals in Greeley.
It’s just a matter of time.
“I think by the time she’s a senior, she should have been to the Olympics. I think she’s got a pretty good shot at making the World Championships, depending on her progression,” Angel said. “She’s really getting to the training, so I think that once she adapts, she’s gonna be a force to be reckoned with.”
On the horizon
UNC has about two months left of the track and field season and high hopes for the team.
Al-Khaliq and Mpigchai are likely to headline the remaining meets, but there’s still plenty of talent on the roster – from the remaining members of the triple jump group to sophomore Wendira Moss (hurdles) and senior Andrea Stark (sprints) – who could earn medals in the outdoor meets.
Angel knows Northern Arizona has been a dominant program in the Big Sky, but he believes the Bears can contend. This season, he wants to see two or three athletes advance to the first round of the NCAA Championship in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and “pray for our chances” to move onto the finals in Eugene, Oregon.
In the coming seasons, he thinks fans should expect the team to be even more successful.
“I think, as a team, we’re young,” Angel said. “But with another recruiting class, we will be able to do what we want to do.”

Opinion
Fierravanti-Wells’ allegations gutsy, but she has been part of the problem
Julia Baird
Journalist, broadcaster, historian and authorOn August 30, 2018, Senator Concetta Fierravanti-Wells was asked about bullying in the Liberal Party on ABC radio, following accusations that heavy-handed, menacing tactics were employed during the leadership spill that Scott Morrison won.
She said: “I don’t think it is a bullying problem. This is a tough game, it is a very tough game … In the end it really is a very stressful environment.”
This week, she spoke differently.
The Prime Minister, she said, was “an autocrat, a bully who has no moral compass”. The Prime Minister – who was in the middle of trying to sell a budget brimming with lolly bags, Band-Aids and short-term solutions – dismissed her allegations, pointing out that the Senator had just lost her position on the NSW Senate ticket to Jim Molan, and that life was full of disappointments.
His point about the timing is fair. But what of the charge?
Many, many women have spoken about bullying in politics in recent years. Far more have done so in private than public – which is of course more evidence of a problematic culture, as the consequences of publicly critiquing your own party aren’t usually hugs and promotions. In 2015, an internal, confidential Liberal Party report was commissioned by the Liberal Party’s federal executive, to address the ongoing dwindling in the party’s female vote. It found evidence that “women are often silenced by men when speaking at meetings, the Liberal Party does not support women from younger generations, and men often engage in chauvinistic behaviour and attempt to intimidate women”. Many women reported witnessing or experiencing gender-based bullying by factional chiefs at meetings.
Doesn’t it all sound very familiar? The report was buried and seven years later, here we are.
According to one study of women in Australian politics, 77 per cent of those surveyed reported being bullied. It should not need to be said that it crosses all parties: Labor was in the spotlight after the death of Kimberley Kitching, which unleashed a harrowing, and sad series of accusations about Kitching’s sense of being ostracised from the inner phlanx of her party. Others in the caucus pointed to various reasons this might have been the case, including her leaking to the opposition. The entire episode was both an unedifying glimpse into factional politics and extremely unfortunate given that Kitching was unable to speak for herself; many were grieving. Now this week there has been renewed focus on the Liberals.
In 2018, backbencher Julia Banks, upon resigning from the Liberal Party, denounced “bullying and intimidation” and an “entrenched anti-woman bias” in the party.
Former deputy leader of the Liberal Party, Julie Bishop – after leaving parliament - said that the treatment of women in politics “would not be tolerated in any other workplace across Australia”.
So why is nothing happening? Is the problem that we just see politics as horrible anyway? Or that politicians only acknowledge it at the point of retirement or resignation? Will this ever change if there is too great a cost to air concerns beforehand?
A study in the Australian Journal of Social Issues published last week analysed the responses of Liberal MPs to allegations of bullying and intimidation by female MPs and found that “a ‘politics is tough’ repertoire … served to downplay and legitimise bullying and intimidation as normative and unproblematic”.
As the authors, Jasmin Sorrentino, Martha Augoustinos and Amanda Le Couteur from the University of Adelaide, point out, the consistent pattern of responses to bullying is to deny it happens more with women than men, and to shrug it off as part of an intense political environment.
Consider this language. When Morrison was asked on The Project about whether women had been bullied before his leadership win he said: “Well politics is pretty ferocious. I mean, it’s probably been the most ferocious period of human politics over the last decade that I think we have seen since ... Gough Whitlam’s time … when those ballots are conducted, both men and women are subject to a lot of pressure when they are making these decisions.”
The president of the Liberal Party’s Federal Women’s Committee, Helen Kroger, told ABC’s RN that both men and women cry during leadership contests, but that politics was just a “rough and tough game” and “an environment which is not for everyone”.
What worries me is that accepting this premise just means only those blessed with rhinoceros hides, or narcissistic types who are oblivious to criticism because it is also packaged with attention will bother with politics. Don’t we want gentler souls in politics along with the thick-skinned spotlight-bathers? And aren’t we all sick of ugly spats on our public stages?
How often do you see a genuine act of grace in political life?
In 2018 Fierravanti-Wells said if women wanted to complain, they should go through a complaints process. And we all know how that works out. Four years later, she is making her complaints public.
Her serious charges should be investigated by the party, and probably won’t be. I cannot speak to the truth of them. But in previously denying bullying when it happens to other women, and by shoring up the narrative that politics is a tough business “if you can’t stand the head get out of the kitchen”, she too has been part of the problem.
Sure, her act of vengeance on budget night was gutsy, but true courage would also require talking about behavioural issues in your own party – or across parties – when you are in Parliament, when you are in a position to lend weight to other people, when you are being watched by other men and women who have suffered from similarly vile behaviour and been silenced by the prospect that their complaints would only see that behaviour get uglier.
There are many ways to support other women under fire without trashing your own party.
Think of all the women who either participated in, or silently watched the mass cultural bullying of former prime minister Julia Gillard.
The stifling notion of putting up with all behaviour in the cause of unity is partly what made Brittany Higgins think she had to stay quiet about her alleged rape. She said: “There is a strange culture of silence” within the parties, as though to speak of poor conduct would be “letting the team down”.
Who would it be letting down? Mostly the bullies.
On Thursday night, speaking on a panel about women in politics (that I was also on with the journalists Jess Hill and Marian Wilkinson, organised by Avalon’s wonderful Bookoccino bookstore), Julia Banks was blunt: “The leader determines the culture.” This applies of course to all party leaders. What kind of culture is Albanese creating? How accountable has he been, and will he be to bullying behaviour in his party? Will Kitching’s experience give him, and the party pause? The worst time for such allegations to be responded to is at the time of someone’s death.
The point isn’t that politics can be like this – hostile, tense, threatening, ugly.
The point is that it shouldn’t be.

Some Key Highlights from the Report
Granular activated carbon segment revenue is expected to expand at a significantly rapid CAGR during the forecast period as granular activated carbon is widely used in air purification and municipal water treatment facilities, particularly in removal of mercury and chlorine.
Liquid phase segment is expected to register a significantly robust revenue growth rate over the forecast period due to rising usage of liquid phase filtration. Liquid phase filtration is widely used to filter chloramines and organic chemicals from drinkable water, such as herbicides and pesticides.
Asia Pacific is expected to account for a larger revenue share than other regional markets over the forecast period. Demand for water treatment has risen due to growing water demand from manufacturing industries and changing federal regulations for the mitigation of water pollution, thereby, boosting demand for activated carbon.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — The Kentucky Court of Appeals on Friday rejected trainer Bob Baffert’s motion for emergency relief from a 90-day suspension.
As a result of the order signed by Acting Chief Judge Allison Jones, the Hall of Fame trainer’s suspension is scheduled to begin on Monday.
“The Court emphasizes that it makes no determination of the merits of Baffert’s contentions of error,” Jones wrote. “The underlying motions for interlocutory relief along with any additional, dispositive motions shall be assigned to a three-Judge panel of this Court following expiration of the response time provided in the Civil Rules.”
Signage outside Baffert’s barn at Santa Anita was removed as part of a California Horse Racing Board rule that mandates any trainer who is suspended for 60 days or more be banned from all CHRB-licensed facilities.
Baffert had already transferred four promising 3-year-old colts to other trainers so they can run in major prep races and potentially earn points to qualify for the Kentucky Derby on May 7. One of those, Doppelganger, is entered in Saturday’s $1.25 million Arkansas Derby.
Churchill Downs has suspended Baffert for the 2022 and 2023 Kentucky Derbies. Baffert is fighting that ban in federal court.
The suspension will be honored in all 38 racing states.
“We were disappointed by today’s decision, but it’s important to understand that the court made it clear that it denied the stay purely on procedural grounds and not on the merits, all of which point to Bob ultimately winning this case,” said Clark Brewster, an attorney for Baffert.
Baffert has repeatedly come up short in his other attempts to obtain a stay order, including from Marc Guilfoil, executive director of the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission, and Franklin Circuit Judge Thomas Wingate, who turned down Baffert’s request on March 21.
“We will continue to fight for Bob’s ability to race and win in Kentucky and against the injustice of KHRC against Bob,” Brewster said.
The Hall of Fame trainer’s suspension is the result of medication violations involving some of his horses, including Medina Spirit. The colt finished first in the 2021 Kentucky Derby and tested positive after the race for the corticosteroid betamethasone, which is not allowed in Kentucky on race day. Medina Spirit was later disqualified.

Boys Tennis: Owen Alderman showing no fear for Worthington Kilbourne Wolves
Owen Alderman has no fear at the net. It’s the best part of his game.
The Worthington Kilbourne senior boys tennis player hopes that translates into success this spring as he tries for his first state appearance.
“I’m not scared,” he said. “The club I play at, Racquet Club of Columbus, teaches people how to play doubles very well. I started playing tennis pretty late and was always just really comfortable at the net. I feel like that’s where I excel.”
Playing at the net is a skill that isn’t common at the high school level, said coach Steve Metzmeier, who is in his 22nd season leading the Wolves.
“A lot of players today are baseline, bang-it-out players and (Alderman is) a little different than that,” Metzmeier said. “He’s always looking for his opportunity to approach the net – come in and finish his points there instead of hitting from the baseline.”
Alderman began playing tennis about eight years ago.
“My parents have this rule where I have to have one physical activity to stay healthy,” he said. “My dad (Andy) played tennis in high school and really liked it. I would say I’m addicted at this point. I just can’t get enough of it. It doesn’t feel like a devotion. It’s something when I wake up, I’m happy to do.”
Alderman is slated to play first singles during the regular season, but could move over to doubles in the postseason.
“The goal is to make states – that’s kind of it,” Alderman said. “I don’t care how I get there as long as I get there. So, doubles, singles, it doesn’t matter.”
He did the same last year while battling a wrist injury. He was 10-3 in singles play in the regular season before teaming with 2021 graduate Tanner Hauptman, making it to the final at a Division I sectional before falling at district.
“I love playing doubles way more,” Alderman said. “There’s a lot more strategy involved (in doubles). I’m able to be able to play against better singles players (in doubles) and be a lot more competitive with them. I really enjoy that.”
Alderman has already started building a relationship with freshman Luka Young, whom he’ll team with in doubles play.
“We’ve been developing (a relationship) over the past eight months or so,” Alderman said. “They had a futures tournament at Ohio State and I took him to go watch a bunch of players play. We got to see Martin Damm Jr., a bunch of Ohio State guys and Toby Kodat. I’ve been taking to him to OSU matches (and we’ve) been hitting late at night.”
The Wolves finished 6-12 overall last year, but played well in the OCC-Capital Division, tying Westerville North for second (5-2) behind Dublin Scioto (7-0).
Young is competing with senior Nate Plant, junior Aja Sampath and sophomore Joey English for the second and third singles spots. The ones who don’t slot into singles will play doubles along with seniors Ethan Emami and Nivaas Kalyanam and sophomore Grant Stout.
“We’re kind of a question mark, actually,” Metzmeier said. “If all my players play up to their ability, I think we could do well as far as the league is concerned.”

•Outlook: With only one senior in the lineup last season in David Reid, the Warriors went with a youth movement that featured Stephen Reid at first singles and Sean Ball at second singles. Stephen Reid, who is now a junior and reached a Division II sectional quarterfinal in singles, and Ball, who is now a sophomore, are back in those positions.
Sophomore Matthew Sanders teamed with junior Gabe Pace in doubles at sectional, and both are options at third singles.
Junior Jon Bauman, who teamed with David Reid for the postseason in doubles, senior Lucas Letizia and junior Bradley Pomajevich are other returnees.
Junior Elijah Alt and freshmen Grant Carter, Cooper Maehl and Jason Tsui are looking to break into the lineup.
•Quotable: “My hope for the season is to continue to build off our inexperience from last year, continue to have individual improvement and work to build back the Worthington Christian boys tennis program. Our numbers were way down the past couple years, but we have been working hard to get more boys interested in tennis and the results are starting to show.” – coach Chris Mayotte

College track star killed, 2 others injured, in hit-and-run with suspected drunken driver, officials say
WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (Gray News) - Milligan University is mourning the loss of one of its track and field stars after a deadly crash on Thursday.
The university reports that three of its track and field team members were involved in a collision while running in Williamsburg, Virginia.
Sophomore Eli Cramer died, according to the school, while his fellow teammates Alex Mortimer and Eli Baldy were also injured.
Mortimer sustained life-threatening injuries. Officials said he underwent surgery Thursday night for multiple fractures and was stable. Baldy was treated and released.
According to Virginia State Police, the three runners were on Williamsburg Pottery Road when they were struck by a vehicle. The driver took off from the initial crash scene but was found after crashing into a median.
Police said the driver was taken into custody and charged with DUI and felony hit-and-run, according to school officials
Cramer, 20, was a sophomore business administration major at Milligan. In his two years with the Buffaloes, he was a third-place finisher on the 2021 national championship cross country team, a two-time All-American and two-time All-AAC for cross country. According to the university, Cramer also set a program record in the 8K.
According to the Milligan Buffaloes, the 20-year-old was a four-time national qualifier in track and field, most recently finishing 10th in the 5K at the NAIA Indoor National Championships.
Mortimer, 23, transferred to Milligan in 2018 from the University of Kentucky. He graduated last May with an undergraduate degree in ministry and enrolled in Milligan’s MBA program.
School officials said Mortimer is a four-time All-AAC cross country runner and collected NAIA All-America status in the marathon with a fourth-place finish at the NAIA national championships last spring.
According to Milligan, Baldy, 21, is a senior mechanical engineering major. He is also a two-time national qualifier in outdoor nationals in the marathon and a member of four conference championship teams.
Virginia police report Thursday’s crash remains under investigation.

What are emotions? Neuroscientific research on animals may finally settle the debate
- Despite decades of research on the topic, many mysteries remain about what emotions are and how humans and other animals experience them.
- Part of the problem is that scientists conceptualize and study emotion in many different ways, depending on their particular discipline.
- In The Nature of the Beast: How Emotions Guide Us, neurobiologist David J. Anderson explores how the human brain regulates emotion, as well as what neuroscience reveals about the internal states of animals.
Excerpted from The Nature of the Beast: How Emotions Guide Us by David J. Anderson. Copyright © 2022. Available from Basic Books, an imprint of Hachette Book Group, Inc.
A child pummels a classmate in a schoolyard. Insults traded in a tavern escalate into a bar fight. Two rams butt horns on a mountain precipice. A pride of lionesses takes down a Cape buffalo. A malevolent mob storms the Capitol. A mass shooter slaughters scores of concertgoers from a hotel window.
All these examples are naked acts of aggression. They are overt behaviors that can be recognized and recorded in words or on video. However, at least in the case of humans, they are also accompanied by something we cannot see: an internal, subjective experience of emotion by the person committing the act. Witness any of the above situations, and you might assume that the assailants feel anger, rage, fury. But unless they specifically tell us how they feel, how can we ever really know what emotion they are experiencing—or, indeed, if they are experiencing any emotion at all? And what about the experience of animals, whom we cannot even ask?
Clearly, there is some connection between aggressive behavior and things like anger and rage. It is difficult to imagine being driven to commit such violent acts without an underlying emotional drive. Yet our intuition and experience tell us that anger and aggression are not the same thing. After all, one can certainly feel angry without physically expressing that feeling as aggression. Is anger generated separately and independently from aggressive behavior in the brain, or are they different manifestations of the same process? Does anger cause aggression, does aggression cause anger, or is there no causal relationship between the two? Ultimately, these questions can only be attended to after we’ve answered a more fundamental one: What exactly are emotions, and what do they do for us?
The problem is that, despite centuries of inquiry on the topic, we don’t know. Not only that, but scientists cannot even agree on what an answer should look like. There are easily half a dozen different perspectives people bring to the study of emotion: psychological, cognitive, sociological, anthropological, philosophical, and neuroscientific. Researchers in these disciplines don’t speak the same language or understand things in the same terms. A psychologist seeks to explain emotions in terms of human drives, needs, and conflicts. A neuroscientist seeks to explain them in terms of patterns of brain activity. Some people want to explain a particular emotion, like sadness or fear; others want to understand in a general way what makes emotion different from other kinds of brain processes. Not only are we the proverbial blind men grasping different parts of the elephant and trying to describe what we are holding, but we don’t even have the same word for “elephant.”
Given this intellectual diversity and lack of consensus, it is not surprising that there have been many books espousing new theories of emotion. Most of them—certainly most of the theories that make their way into the public conversation—originate in psychology. Such theories are interesting and powerful, but they are often very abstract and hard to falsify by experiment. The perspective of this book is very different. I believe that neuroscience can offer us a way of thinking about emotions that is objective and empirical, and that gives us the tools to begin studying questions about emotion that have been so difficult that some have written them off as unsolvable.
But first, a little background. Neuroscientists study diverse animal species, including humans, to understand how the neurons and circuits within their brains give rise to internal drives and behavior. Neuroscientists use a variety of methods to measure and manipulate the activity of neurons in the brain. They also build computer models of brain function based on these data. This allows for an intricate, causal understanding of brain function at its most basic level. Neuroscience offers the hope that, when we understand the brain in sufficient detail, we will be able to explain how its activity gives rise to both behavior and emotion.
Perhaps you already agree with me about the value of neuroscience. Maybe you even believe I am behind the times and that this question has already been settled. For example, you may have read that fear is produced by activity in a brain structure called the amygdala. Aren’t there many studies in which neuroscientists put people in brain scanners and show that when they’re afraid, their amygdala lights up (that is, becomes more active)? If that is the case for fear, then surely something similar must also be true for anger. So isn’t the only thing left to do to figure out where anger and rage “live” in the brain? Can’t we just put people in brain scanners, have someone watch what happens in their brain when they get angry, and then repeat the same process for different emotions until we have mapped them all?
In a word, no. Brain-scanning experiments (technically known as functional magnetic resonance imaging, or fMRI) do not directly visualize electrical activity in the brain; rather, they image blood flow to a particular area. Consequently, they provide only a very coarse-grained view of brain activity. More important, such experiments only provide correlative data. If we observe activity somewhere in a person’s brain while they say they are afraid or angry, we cannot know whether the brain activity is causing the emotion or the emotion is causing the brain activity. Furthermore, relying on what a subject says they are feeling—that is, verbal report—is not necessarily an accurate way to assess that person’s subjective feelings. A subject can mischaracterize or even lie about what they feel. What’s more, it is quite difficult, in practice, to induce an authentic, bona fide emotion in a human subject in a brain scanner because the subjects know they are in an experiment and have all kinds of distractions, like the noise in the scanner and people running around in white lab coats. Finally, early fMRI studies of fear in different laboratories produced inconsistent results, as psychologist and author Lisa Feldman Barrett has shown (although more recent studies have produced more consistent results).
These and other factors have led in recent years to a sort of debunking of simplistic neuroscientific explanations of emotion based on human brain-scanning experiments. For example, Feldman Barrett argued in a 2015 New York Times opinion piece that neural activity in the amygdala is not in fact the source of fear; instead, fear and other emotions are diffusely distributed across the brain rather than localized to any single brain region. In another op-ed, Feldman Barrett argued further that anger in humans comes in so many different forms that looking for brain activity that singularly represents this emotion is, effectively, an exercise in futility. From this perspective, efforts to understand anger—or any emotion, for that matter—at the level of neuroscience seem fundamentally flawed, and the nature of emotion itself seems to remain beyond our grasp.
What I hope to show you is that such dismissals are too quick. Neuroscience has something real to tell us about how emotions work; we’ve just been going about it in the wrong way. Over the past two decades, that has begun to change with the development of revolutionary new techniques for understanding brain function in so-called model organisms, animals that are bred in the laboratory for research and are amenable to genetic manipulations, like mice and fruit flies. These methods use genes and light to mark, map, measure, and manipulate specific types of neurons in the brain. Unlike brain-scanning experiments, which measure neural activity indirectly, as blood flow to the brain, these new methods can directly measure electrical activity in individual neurons and can map their direct connections to particular cells in other brain regions.

Lakers guard Kendrick Nunn expected to miss rest of season
When the Los Angeles Lakers signed guard Kendrick Nunn last offseason to a bargain deal at two years and $10.3 million, it was seen as one of the better acquisitions of the summer, both in terms of price and impact.
But he suffered a bone bruise prior to the start of the regular season, and five months later, it apparently still hasn’t healed enough to allow him to play.
During L.A.’s blowout loss against the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday, TNT’s Chris Haynes reported that although Nunn is scheduled to soon undergo an MRI to examine the status of his injury, he is not expected to return at any point this season.
The 26-year-old played briefly during the exhibition season, but he has not appeared in a regular-season contest.
In his two prior seasons with the Miami Heat, he was a revelation. He went from undrafted to finishing second in the 2020 NBA Rookie of the Year balloting.
Last year, he averaged 14.6 points in 29.5 minutes per game while shooting 38.1% from 3-point range, 58.3% on 2-point shots and 48.5% overall.
Nunn can opt in for next season, the final year of his contract, and remain with the Lakers. If he does so, it would be a big help for a team that needs to be revamped if it has any hope of returning to championship contention.
His ability to handle the ball, attack in transition, score efficiently at the rim and hit from the outside would help take the load off an aging LeBron James.

TAMPA (WFLA) – Will Smith has resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences after slapping Chris Rock during Sunday’s Oscars telecast, according to Variety.
“The list of those I have hurt is long and includes Chris, his family, many of my dear friends and loved ones, all those in attendance, and global audiences at home,” Smith said. “I betrayed the trust of the Academy. I deprived other nominees and winners of their opportunity to celebrate and be celebrated for their extraordinary work. I am heartbroken.” Smith said in a statement obtained by Variety.
Smith in his statement also acknowledged that his actions overshadowed other winners at the 94th Academy Awards.
“I want to put the focus back on those who deserve attention for their achievements and allow the Academy to get back to the incredible work it does to support creativity and artistry in film,” he stated, concluding with “change takes time and I am committed to doing the work to ensure that I never again allow violence to overtake reason.”
The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences had met Wednesday to initiate disciplinary proceedings against Smith for violations against the group’s standards of conduct. Smith faced possible suspensions or a possible expulsion.
The academy said in a statement that “Mr. Smith’s actions at the 94th Oscars were a deeply shocking, traumatic event to witness in-person and on television.”
On Monday, Smith issued an apology to Rock, the academy and to viewers, saying “I was out of line and I was wrong.”
Rock publicly addressed the incident for the first time, but only briefly, at the beginning of a standup show Wednesday night in Boston, where he was greeted by a thunderous standing ovation. He said “I’m still kind of processing what happened.”
Smith shocked the theater crowd and viewers at home when he took the stage after Rock joked: “Jada, I love you. ‘G.I. Jane 2,’ can’t wait to see it.”
Pinkett Smith, who suffers from the hair loss condition alopecia, had a closely shaved head similar to that of Demi Moore in the original movie.

AP Entertainment Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Will Smith resigned Friday from the motion picture academy following his Oscars night slap of Chris Rock and said he would accept any further punishment the organization imposed.
Smith in a statement released Friday afternoon said he will “fully accept any and all consequences for my conduct. My actions at the 94th Academy Awards presentation were shocking, painful, and inexcusable.”
Film academy president David Rubin said Smith’s resignation was accepted. “We will continue to move forward with our disciplinary proceedings against Mr. Smith for violations of the Academy’s Standards of Conduct, in advance of our next scheduled board meeting on April 18.”
“I betrayed the trust of the Academy. I deprived other nominees and winners of their opportunity to celebrate and be celebrated for their extraordinary work,” his statement said. “I am heartbroken. I want to put the focus back on those who deserve attention for their achievements and allow the Academy to get back to the incredible work it does to support creativity and artistry in film.
“Change takes time and I am committed to doing the work to ensure that I never again allow violence to overtake reason,” Smith concluded in the statement.
The resignation came two days after the academy’s leadership board met to initiate disciplinary proceedings against Smith for violations against the group’s standards of conduct. Those proceedings could have resulted in suspension or expulsion, and it was not immediately clear what additional punishment he could face.
Had he been expelled, Smith would have joined a small group of men removed from the academy: Harvey Weinstein, Roman Polanski, Bill Cosby and the actor Carmine Caridi, who was kicked out for sharing awards screeners.
On Sunday, Smith strode from his front-row Dolby Theatre seat on to the stage and smacked Rock, who had made a joke at the expense of Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. Moments later, he went on to win the best actor award for his role in “King Richard.”
Rock, who was about to present Oscar for best documentary, declined to file charges when asked by police. He has only briefly addressed the attack publicly, saying at one comedy concert in Boston this week that he was still “kind of processing what happened.”
Smith stunned Rock, the theater crowd and viewers at home when he took the stage after Rock joked: “Jada, I love you. ‘G.I. Jane 2,’ can’t wait to see it.”
Pinkett Smith, who has spoken publicly about her hair loss condition, alopecia, had a closely shaved head similar to that of Demi Moore in the original movie.
After Smith’s attack, he returned to his seat and angrily twice shouted at Rock to “get my wife’s name out your (expletive) mouth.” When Smith took the stage again less than hour later to accept his Oscar, he tearfully apologized to the academy but notably omitted any mention of Rock.
The fallout was immediate and intense. Smith had supporters for coming to his wife’s defense, but he was widely condemned for responding with violence and for marring both his long-sought Oscar victory and overshadowing the night’s other winners.

Granada woman under investigation for theft of two purses from hairdressing salon. image: guardia civil
Guardia Civil officers in the province of Granada have brought a 55-year-old woman to justice. She is suspected of being the alleged perpetrator of the crime of theft of two purses containing money and credit cards. Another crime of fraud has been added after discovering that she had used said bank cards fraudulently.
The victims of her robbery, which occurred on February 14, were the owner, and one of the workers, of a hairdressing salon in the municipality of Amilla. While their backs were turned, the detainee allegedly sneaked into a private room and stole their two purses. These purses reportedly contained documentation and two bank cards, and cash.
Reporting the theft at the Guardia Civil barracks in Armilla, one of the victims provided a copy of charges made on her bank card. These had been made before she had time to cancel said card, in commercial establishments in both Armilla and the municipality of Churriana de la Vega.
An investigation was launched by the Guardia Civil, who directed their inquiries to these establishments. In one of them, the security cameras had recorded images of the suspect. The second part of their investigation was to locate the alleged thief.
This proved slightly more complicated, as she was a woman without a police record. However, the officers eventually managed to locate her, and investigate her, for the crimes of theft and fraud, as reported by granadadigital.es, on Friday, April 1.

Austin FC visits San Jose and looks to end long road skid
Article content
Cooled off a bit from a blazing-hot start, Austin FC hits the road Saturday for a visit to the San Jose Earthquakes, who failed to get on track over the opening month of the season.
Austin FC (2-1-1, 7 points) had a plus-nine goal differential after season-opening victories over FC Cincinnati and Inter Miami CF, but against more traditional MLS powers, they fell 1-0 on the road against the Portland Timbers and earned a 1-1 tie at home against the Seattle Sounders on March 20.
After a weekend off, they face the Earthquakes (0-3-1, 1 point), who they failed to defeat in three tries last season (0-2-1) and were outscored by a combined 8-3 in the season series.

For all the hope and promise two dominating victories to start the season brought, Austin FC remains on a 10-game road losing streak going back to last season. They have been shut out in eight of those games going back to June of last year.
“Our intensity in our training sessions has to be clear,” Austin FC head coach Josh Wolff said about getting the team back in sync after being off last weekend. “When we go to San Jose, that’s a team that plays with full intensity. They are combative, they have a good physicality and they like a chaotic, hectic game.”
Despite the compliments, San Jose has yet to get much from its intense, physical play. The offense showed promise in a 3-3 tie with the Columbus Crew on March 5, but consecutive shutout road defeats to the Philadelphia Union and Minnesota United FC followed.

In only one other season have the Earthquakes had a slower start, when they lost their first four games in 2019. The worst start in club history after five games is three points, in both that same 2019 season, as well as 2014.
San Jose still is a month away from the return of Brazilian defender Nathan, following surgery for a torn meniscus. While the team has at least four April games without him, three of those are at home.
“In the last two games, we have only hit one shot (on goal),” San Jose midfielder Jackson Yueill said. “That is something we need to improve. That’s definitely a focus point for us.”

Every hero has an origin story.
Growing up in L.A.’s Boyle Heights and spending weekends watching movies with her grandparents, Kayden Phoenix says she wanted to see a superhero that looked like her. That didn’t happen, so eventually she created a whole team of heroes herself.
Phoenix is the writer-creator of an all-Latina superhero comics team called A La Brava that she’ll be bringing to WonderCon in Anaheim, which kicks off today. The event, which features panels, vendors, cosplayers, Bigfoot hunters and more, returns in-person after two years of virtual events due to the pandemic.
After graduating from Loyola Marymount University with a business degree, Phoenix focused on movies, writing a feature-length script and making a short film about a Latina superhero, but she says people kept asking the same thing: Where’s the comic book?
So, after taking time to study the comic giants, she created A La Brava and its five Latina superheroes, whose stories are rolling out in individual books.
“These are each their origin stories of how they got their name and their power. They’re all different heritages within the Latina diaspora. They come together, they become the team A La Brava,” says Phoenix, who says the books explore issues of social justice such as domestic violence and teen suicide. “They’re all very dark but very female-skewed themes, because as females we don’t get our justice.”
She’ll be at WonderCon to discuss her heroes, which include: Loquita, a teen detective of supernatural phenomena; Bandita, a gunslinger; Ruca, a vigilante; Santa, a bruiser who takes on ICE detention centers; and Jalisco, who is described as “a blade-wielding folklorico dancer that uses her culture as her weapon.”
To create the individual comics, she sought out Latina women like herself, “We do exist on and off the page,” she says. Her collaborators include GLAAD and Eisner Award-nominated Eva Cabrera and recent Laguna College of Art and Design graduate Amanda Julina Gonzalez.
“It’s all Latina artists, and that’s very much on purpose,” Phoenix says, before citing her company’s mission statement. “To create a superhero mindset in every marginalized individual.”
The first four titles are out, and another is coming this month before the group teams up in a book arriving this summer. Beyond that, Phoenix says she has plans for a younger-skewing series about princesses and has been taking meetings around Hollywood about bringing her work to the screen.
In the meantime, you can stop by her table at WonderCon (you can see a shot of it above from last November’s San Diego Comic-Con) or visit a local store.
“Target, Walmart, Barnes & Noble. Every local comic store in greater L.A. County and Orange County – I’m in every one of those as well,” says Phoenix.

‘Slow Horses’ will take you on a ride
It used to be that readers of a book series would hear about an upcoming adaptation and feel a mixture of anticipation and dread.
Mostly dread.
But these days there are plenty of acclaimed adaptations, whether it’s “Bridgerton,” “Reacher” or “Pachinko,” and you can add one more good one to the list, “Slow Horses” which premieres today on Apple TV+.
Based on Mick Herron’s series, “Slow Horses” is a six-episode series about Slough House, a London unit where disgraced spies are sent to finish up their careers after they’ve screwed up. The show stars Gary Oldman, Kristin Scott Thomas, Jack Lowden, Rosalind Eleazar, Christopher Chung and Saskia Reeves. It’s a terrific mix of thrills, drama, and, you know, spy stuff. But it’s also smart and darkly funny; I’ve seen the whole thing and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Even better? Herron’s written more Slough House books so there’s plenty more where that came from.
What are some of your favorite book-to-screen adaptations? Email me at epedersen@scng.com and I may share your comments in a future newsletter.
Thanks, as always, for reading.

‘Overdue’ author Amanda Oliver on the book she shares with everyone
Pushcart Prize-nominated writer Amanda Oliver is the author of “Overdue: Reckoning with the Public Library,” and she is nonfiction editor of Joyland magazine. Along with BA and MLS degrees from SUNY Buffalo, she earned an MFA from UC Riverside and currently lives in the Mojave Desert near Joshua Tree.
Q. How would you describe “Overdue: Reckoning With the Public Library”?
“Overdue” is part memoir about my six years of working as a librarian in Washington, D.C. and part deep-dive into the past, present and future of America’s public libraries. As the subtitle suggests, it is also a reckoning with the incomplete understanding so many have of this beloved institution and also with the many systemic failures that manifest themselves in them.
Q. What could help improve things for libraries and the people who use and work in them?
Libraries are such beautiful models of free and accessible community care, for all, and yet there are very few other places in this country like them, which is why we see overwhelmed libraries and library workers. My hope is that readers of “Overdue” will finish reading with a broader and more complete understanding of the many, many roles libraries and librarians play in our country (in large part because of failed, failing or insufficient social support systems) and it will help them to be more vocal about, and open to and supportive of, free and accessible community care resources and institutions. My ultimate hope is that everyone will learn to think and make choices more like librarians so often do—with empathy, openness, curiosity and a commitment to not just assisting, but understanding others within their local and broader communities.
Q. What are you reading now?
The tower of books on my bedside table currently includes Sheila Heti’s “Pure Colour,” Claire Vaye Watkins’ “I Love You But I’ve Chosen Darkness,” May Sarton’s “Journal of a Solitude,” Diane Seuss’ “frank: sonnets,” Gabor Mate’s “Scattered Minds” and Renee Gladman’s “Calamities.”
Q. Do you remember the first book that made an impact on you?
“The Green Book” by Jill Paton Walsh. It’s a science fiction novel about a young girl living in a post-apocalyptic world on a new planet that I read in the fourth grade. It was the first time I remember understanding the fragility of life and also the power of storytelling in understanding, accepting and working through and with that fragility.
Q. Is there a book or books that you always recommend to other readers?
Robin Wall Kimmerer’s “Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants.” It is a book I hope every American reads. It shows how other living beings—strawberries, algae, sweetgrass and so much more—offer us lessons and gifts, even as we’ve forgotten how to hear them. It beautifully digs into ecological consciousness, reciprocal relationship, and, ultimately, how to be better, more present, open, caring human beings. It fundamentally changed who I am and how I see the world around me.
My other “everyone should read this” recommendations are adrienne maree brown’s “Emergent Strategy,” Lacy M. Johnson’s “The Reckonings” and bell hooks’ “All About Love.” When I teach creative writing, I always recommend Mary Ruefle’s “Madness, Rack, and Honey” as well.
Q. Is there a person who made an impact on your reading life — a teacher, a parent, a librarian or someone else?
My first grade teacher, Mrs. Celeste. She created a little station in the classroom where we could “publish” books. There was scrap paper to create drafts on and then nicer paper and a book of wallpaper samples to create a final cover when your drafts were done. It taught me, very early on, that it takes many messy drafts before you are ready for publication.
Q. What’s a memorable book experience — good or bad — you’re willing to share?
In my 20s, the only book I brought along with me on a two-month, 11-country trip through Europe was “Autoportrait” by Édouard Levé. I read it on planes and trains, by every body of water I visited, at little café tables, in hostels. I’ve taken it to five additional countries since. I only read it when I travel and it feels really special every time I do. Like visiting with an old friend.

How Much Did Morbius Make On Opening Night?
By Adam Holmes published
The numbers from Morbius’ opening night have come in.
The next chapter of Sony’s Spider-Man Universe has arrived. after being pushed back over a year and a half from its pre-pandemic release date, the world is finally able to meet Jared Leto’s Dr. Michael Morbius, who, like his comic book counterpart, has become the Living Vampire. Critically speaking, Morbius hasn’t been faring well, but poor reviews don’t always lead to a similar box office launch. So now did the latest superhero movie fare on its opening night?
Morbius kicked off its theatrical run on Thursday night to the tune of $5.7 million domestically. That preview night screening total falls short of 2019’s Shazam! pulling in $5.9 million on its first night, but overall it’s not a bad debut. As far as Morbius’ opening weekend haul goes, Sony Pictures is reportedly expecting it to land around $33 million, but according to Deadline, industry estimates place it somewhere in the $40-50 million range.
Morbius doesn’t really have anything in the way of opening weekend competition, as The Bubble, Better Nate Than Never and Apollo 10½ are all streaming releases, and Chris Pine’s The Contractor is only playing in limited theaters alongside its VOD release. That being said, Morbius follows a week after Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum’s comedy The Lost City, which knocked The Batman from the #1 spot. Speaking of The Batman, although the Matt Reeves-helmed movie premiered a month ago, it’s still going strong on the silver screen, having made over $677 million worldwide at the time of publication.
As mentioned earlier, Morbius has been bombarded by negative reviews this week, ranking at just 16% among critics on Rotten Tomatoes. CinemaBlend’s own Eric Eisenberg gave Morbius just one out of five stars in his review and said that the movie was “so creatively bankrupt and lacking in entertainment” that he urged people not to buy a ticket. So while negative critical reception doesn’t always equate poor ticket sales, the press surrounding Morbius certainly isn’t doing it any favors.
On the other hand, Morbius’ predecessors in Sony Pictures’ Spider-Man Universe, Venom and Venom: Let There Be Carnage, weren’t critical darlings either, but they both performed well at the box office. That being said, not only is Morbius’ critical reception worse than what both Venom movies received, but the Venom property was already a popular aspect of the Spider-Man mythology before Tom Hardy hit the scene as Eddie Brock, whereas Morbius the Living Vampire is a more obscure character.
CinemaBlend will continue providing box office updates on Morbius in the days ahead. However, if your cinematic interests lie elsewhere, scan through the 2022 movie releases to figure out what you plan to watch later in the year. Following Morbius’ release, Sony’s Spider-Man Universe will pick back up when Kraven the Hunter (the eponymous character being played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson) comes out on January 13, 2023.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — The Kentucky Court of Appeals on Friday rejected trainer Bob Baffert’s motion for emergency relief from a 90-day suspension.
As a result of the order signed by Acting Chief Judge Allison Jones, the Hall of Fame trainer’s suspension is scheduled to begin on Monday.
“The Court emphasizes that it makes no determination of the merits of Baffert’s contentions of error,” Jones wrote. “The underlying motions for interlocutory relief along with any additional, dispositive motions shall be assigned to a three-Judge panel of this Court following expiration of the response time provided in the Civil Rules.”
Signage outside Baffert’s barn at Santa Anita was removed as part of a California Horse Racing Board rule that mandates any trainer who is suspended for 60 days or more be banned from all CHRB-licensed facilities.
Baffert had already transferred four promising 3-year-old colts to other trainers so they can run in major prep races and potentially earn points to qualify for the Kentucky Derby on May 7. One of those, Doppelganger, is entered in Saturday’s $1.25 million Arkansas Derby.
Churchill Downs has suspended Baffert for the 2022 and 2023 Kentucky Derbies. Baffert is fighting that ban in federal court.
The suspension will be honored in all 38 racing states.
“We were disappointed by today’s decision, but it’s important to understand that the court made it clear that it denied the stay purely on procedural grounds and not on the merits, all of which point to Bob ultimately winning this case,” said Clark Brewster, an attorney for Baffert.
Baffert has repeatedly come up short in his other attempts to obtain a stay order, including from Marc Guilfoil, executive director of the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission, and Franklin Circuit Judge Thomas Wingate, who turned down Baffert’s request on March 21.
“We will continue to fight for Bob’s ability to race and win in Kentucky and against the injustice of KHRC against Bob,” Brewster said.
The Hall of Fame trainer’s suspension is the result of medication violations involving some of his horses, including Medina Spirit. The colt finished first in the 2021 Kentucky Derby and tested positive after the race for the corticosteroid betamethasone, which is not allowed in Kentucky on race day. Medina Spirit was later disqualified.

More than 40 buses carrying thousands of people who fled Mariupol arrived in the eastern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia late on Friday in what the Red Cross said was the largest evacuation of civilians from the besieged city since the war began.
A Ukrainian Red Cross official who was on the convoy told The Independent 48 buses had transported at total of 3,500 people, mostly from Mariupol, who had fled the worst of the fighting to Russian-occupied territory, where they had since been stuck. Also in the convoy were five vehicles, including two transport trucks, carrying people who escaped the Russian-occupied city of Melitopol, northwest of Mariupol.
The buses came on the day attempts to open a direct humanitarian corridor to Mariupol collapsed. An estimated 170,000 people remain trapped in the devastated city. Ukrainian officials accused Russia of breaking its promises over a humanitarian corridor, blocking buses and stealing aid.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said late on Friday that it had postponed its attempt to directly evacuate people from the strategic port location but would try again on Saturday. The ICRC had hoped to also deliver two trucks of humanitarian aid, including enough basic medical supplies to last 2,000 people for three months.
In Zaporizhzhya’s main reception centres, however, there were emotional scenes as families torn apart by war were reunited and those who have lived under the heaviest bombardment in the war said they had finally got to safety.
Most of those in the convoy had escaped Mariupol by their own means a few days ago, taking private cars, volunteer buses or even walking through shelling as no official safe passages have been secured since Russia launched its invasion in February.
Some told The Independent they had been stranded for days in Berdyansk, a port city 200km south of Zaporizhzhia and Melitopal just along the coast from Mariupol, that has been controlled by Russian forces since late February.
“When I crossed into Ukrainian held territory the relief was immense, you can’t imagine,” said Ekaterina, 72, who fled Mariupol last week with her family after spending weeks living underground under intense bombardment. She said they had got stuck in Berdyansk as Russian forces would not let them pass, until they were able to join Friday’s convoy a journey which took 10 hours.
“Mariupol, my hometown is utterly destroyed, you can’t imagine the destruction,” she said in tears. “Why the zeal to pound it like that, why the hatred?”
Victor, 22, a journalism student from Mariupol who was also in the evacuation convoy, compared the level of devastation in his city to the now-abandoned town of Prypyat, which was evacuated following the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986.
“Mariupol is the second Prypyat but at least that town was still left intact. Mariupol hasn’t been,” he said.
Maksym Shyshka, a Red Cross volunteer on the convoy, told The Independent they had managed to evacuate 3,500 people in 48 buses.
“It is the largest evacuation of people who have escaped Mariupol so far,” he said.
The Independent was not able to verify the number of people evacuated but counted at least 30 vehicles.
Repeated efforts to deliver aid to Mariupol and help civilians evacuate have failed.
The city’s capture would be a significant victory for the Russians, giving them an unbroken land bridge to annexed Crimea. It has suffered some of the heaviest shelling by Russian forces since Vladimir Putin’s invasion began on 24 February.
Russia, which has referred to its invasion as a “special military operation” and claimed it intended to “denazify” Ukraine, has repeatedly denied it is targeting civilians.
The latest attempt at a safe passage for people in Mariupol was initially planned for Thursday, when Ukrainian deputy prime minister Iryna Vereshchuk said the ICRC had confirmed that Russia had agreed to open a humanitarian corridor.
Yet Ms Vereshchuk later said Russian soldiers had blocked a convoy and seized 14 tonnes of food and medical supplies bound for the city.
The ICRC, which had initially hoped to lead the convoy of 45 buses, told The Independent on Friday morning they were making their own attempt to deliver aid to Mariupol, with the additional aim of securing safe passage for civilians still trapped there.
That failed and they had to turn around, according to a statement.
“The ICRC team, which consists of three vehicles and nine personnel, did not reach Mariupol or facilitate the safe passage of civilians today. They will try again on Saturday to facilitate the safe passage of civilians from Mariupol,“ read the statement.

A British anti-aircraft missile has been used to shoot down a Russian helicopter in Ukraine for the first time, according to a report.
The Starstreak high-velocity missile system was supplied to Ukraine by Britain in March along with a further shipment of Next Generation Light Anti-tank Weapons (NLAWs).
A Starstreak attack on a Russian aircraft in the Luhansk region that was caught on camera has been verified, The Times reported.
A Ministry of Defence source told the paper the video showed Starstreak being fired over Ukraine.
The source added that the anti-aircraft system had been used by Ukrainian forces for almost a week. Senior defence industry sources who examined the film also believe it was Starstreak, The Times said.
The Independent has asked the Ministry of Defence to confirm the report.
The Starstreak system is made by Thales. The firm describes the missiles as being “designed to provide close air defence against conventional air threats such as fixed wing fighters and late unmasking helicopter targets”.
The British Army said Starstreak is a “highly capable air defence weapon” that is particularly effective against helicopters.
Starstreak travels at more than three times the speed of sound. It can be shoulder-mounted, attached to a vehicle, or fired from a ground launcher.
Ukraine was sent the shoulder-mounted variety, which the army said allowed for quicker deployment in the field.
The UK has provided Starstreaks, NLAWs and Javelin anti-tank missiles to Ukraine. More than 4,000 NLAWs have been sent and there have been several reports of the Ukrainian army using them to destroy Russian tanks.

A federal grand jury has heard testimony in recent months about Hunter Biden's income and payments he received while serving on the board of a Ukraine energy company.
That's according to two people familiar with the probe. It remains unclear whether he might be charged, but the grand jury activity makes clear that a federal tax investigation into President Joe Biden's son that began in 2018 remains active as prosecutors continue to examine foreign payments and other aspects of his finances.
A lawyer for Hunter Biden did not return messages seeking comment.
As the Associated Press reports, the probe has become a political headache for the Biden administration as Republicans begin work to retake control of the House in the midterm elections, and could use it as a political attack on the president and his party.
The Justice Department was asked this week if it was on the side of the president in denying any allegations that the president's son could have had unethical business dealings with China or Ukraine. Attorney General Merrick Garland has not publicly spoken out on the investigation recently.
The Justice Department has left federal prosecutor David Weiss, who is a Trump administration holdover, in place to possibly ensure continuity, according to reporting by the Associated Press.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Aliyah Boston had 23 points and 18 rebounds to back up her AP National Player of the Year award and carry South Carolina to the NCAA championship game with a 72-59 victory over Louisville in the semifinals on Friday night.
Brea Beal matched her season high with 12 points and helped hold Cardinals star Hailey Van Lith to nine points on 4-for-11 shooting as the Gamecocks (34-2) delivered another stifling defensive performance.
The Dawn Staley-led Gamecocks will face the Connecticut-Stanford winner on Sunday night at Target Center. Staley will try to win her second national championship, eight months after the Hall of Famer led the U.S. Olympic team to a gold medal in the Tokyo Games.
“You see happy tears, happy tears, right now,” Boston said in her postgame TV interview. “I’m just thanking God we have one more game.”
Destanni Henderson scored 11 points with 3-for-6 shooting from 3-point range and had four assists for South Carolina, which improved to 13-0 this season against AP-ranked opponents.
“Just going to live in the moment for right now,” Henderson said.
Emily Engstler led Louisville with 18 points and nine rebounds as the Cardinals went 1 for 8 from 3-point range and were never able to find a rhythm in the half court against the No. 1 overall seed in this tournament.
Kianna Smith and Olivia Cochran each scored 14 points for the Cardinals (29-5), who were the only team in this Final Four without a title. This was their fourth trip to the national semifinals in coach Jeff Walz's 15 seasons.
“I've never been prouder of a group,” Walz said. “They've absolutely been a joy to coach.”
The Cardinals, one of the three No. 1 seeds in this Final Four, made it out of the Wichita Region without any trouble. Van Lith, the relentless sophomore guard with the perpetually flopping blond pigtails, hit the 20-point mark in each of their first four tournament games.
Van Lith met her match with Beal, who had a four-inch height advantage and shadowed her all over the court as she often does to the opponent’s most dangerous player. Van Lith, whose first basket came on a knifing drive for a layup with 1:43 left in the second quarter, had two jumpers blocked by Beal and three turnovers in the first half.
The Gamecocks, who were the wire-to-wire No. 1 team in the AP poll this season, squeezed their first four tournament opponents in the Greensboro Region to a bleak average of 41.2 points on their way to a fourth Final Four in the last seven years.
Engstler, the tough-as-nails transfer from Syracuse, helped Louisville keep Boston from getting too comfortable in the paint while Olivia Cochran helped with the muscle. Physical play can come with a price, though, and with 4.2 seconds left in the third quarter Boston drew Engstler’s fourth foul on a putback layup and stretched the lead to 57-48 with the and-one free throw.
Engstler fouled out with 4:56 to go and had her head buried in her clenched hands on the bench as her teammates tried to console her.
BOSTON STRONG
After putting up 28 points and 22 rebounds in the Sweet 16 against North Carolina, Boston proved she had plenty left for the Final Four.
South Carolina, which won the title in 2017, was painfully ousted in the semifinals last season by one point to eventual champion Stanford when Boston’s putback attempt bounced off the rim at the buzzer. The 6-foot-5 junior from the U.S. Virgin Islands has bounced right back a year later.
“We just knew that we fell short, but it’s not something that we continued to think about,” Boston said. “This is a new team. We have a lot more depth.”
Said Staley: “You’re either going to pass the test or you’re going to have to retake it.”
Wearing her familiar vibrant braids in a bright-pink-and-purple combination, Boston helped the Gamecocks set a commanding tone early with an 11-2 lead. The Cardinals missed seven of their first eight shots from the floor.
Louisville enjoyed a 12-0 run early in the second quarter to take a short-lived three-point edge, but South Carolina simply had so much more to offer after that. Henderson's 3-pointer gave the Gamecocks their largest lead at 51-36 midway through the third quarter, and the Cardinals were only within less than eight points for 42 seconds after that.
ANTHEM ABSENCE
The entire South Carolina team stayed off the court during the national anthem, keeping with the Gamecocks’ practice all season. Last season, several players took a knee during the singing of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

5 Dirt Cheap Homebuilder Stocks in 2022
- (1:00) - Understanding The Complexity Of The Homebuilders Sector
- (12:30) - Finding Strong Value Stocks: Tracey’s Top Picks
- (29:30) - Big Takeaways From The Housing Sector: KBH, LEN, TOL, PHM, DHI
- Podcast@Zacks.com
Welcome to Episode #275 of the Value Investor Podcast.
Every week, Tracey Ryniec, the editor of Zacks Value Investor portfolio, shares some of her top value investing tips and stock picks.
In 2022, there are a lot of cheap stocks out there.
One group that is especially cheap are the homebuilders. Many of them trade with forward P/Es of 5 or lower. That’s incredibly low.
But with rising mortgage rates, which have already spiked as high as 5% on the 30-year fixed mortgage, are the homebuilders set to see a big earnings slowdown in 2022?
Or are the fears about rising rates over blown?
Interest in New Homes Not Slowing…Yet
Two large homebuilders, KB Home and Lennar, have reported earnings in March so we have real time insight as to what the homebuilders are seeing in their businesses.
And it’s still good even though mortgage rates were rising already when they reported earnings. Both companies reaffirmed their bullish outlooks for this year.
Home buyer demand is still strong. Additionally, the builders still have pricing power, which is allowing them to raise prices to cover rising costs on materials, land and labor.
The homebuilder stocks have sold off double digits in 2022 on fears about a slowing housing market. They are cheap, but could they be traps?
5 Dirt Cheap Homebuilder Stocks in 2022
1. KB Home KBH
KB Home is among the cheapest of the large homebuilders. It trades with a forward P/E of just 3.4.
KB Home has fell 23.6% year-to-date and now trades below book value. But even as cheap as the shares are, the insiders have not yet jumped in to buy.
Analysts have mostly been raising estimates since the recent earnings report, with 4 raising and 2 lowering for fiscal 2022 in the last week.
Earnings are expected to grow 68.3% in fiscal 2022 to $10.18. And analysts are still bullish on KB Home for fiscal 2023, with earnings expected to rise another 6.9%.
The analysts don’t expect any slowdown. Yet.
Is KB Home a true deal?
2. Lennar Corp. LEN
Lennar recently reported earnings and reaffirmed its full year outlook.
The analysts are bullish too, with 4 estimates higher over the last 30 days for fiscal 2022.
Lennar’s earnings are expected to rise 14.2% year-over-year. And analysts also expect fiscal 2023 to see earnings growth of 9.6%.
Nevertheless, shares have fallen 27% year-to-date.
How cheap is Lennar? It has a forward P/E of 5.3 and a PEG ratio of 0.7.
Should Lennar be on your short list?
3. Toll Brothers TOL
Toll Brothers is the largest publicly-traded luxury homebuilder in the United States. Toll said on recent earnings conference calls that 20% of its buyers pay all cash. Will higher mortgage rates even matter to their buyers?
Shares have plunged 31% year-to-date and are now dirt cheap with a PEG ratio of 0.3.
Toll Brothers earnings are expected to rise 51% in fiscal 2022.
Will rising mortgage rates hit their earnings for next year?
4. PulteGroup PHM
PulteGroup is one of America’s largest home builders with developments from coast-to-coast.
Shares are down 22% year-to-date and are now trading with a forward P/E of just 4.5. PulteGroup also pays a dividend, currently yielding 1.4%.
PulteGroup is expected to report first quarter earnings on Apr 28, 2022 but analysts are still bullish. 7 estimates have been revised for the full year in the last 60 days. Analysts expect earnings to rise 38.6% in 2021 and another 7.8% in 2023.
Should investors be taking another look at PulteGroup in 2022?
5. D.R. Horton, Inc. DHI
D.R. Horton is a large national homebuilder which will report earnings on Apr 26, 2022.
But the analysts have been raising full year earnings estimates this year. 19 estimates were raised for 2022 over the last 19 days, with only 1 estimate cut during that time.
Earnings are expected to rise 39.2% to $15.88 from $11.41 last year.
D.R. Horton’s shares have plunged 27% year-to-date. And, yep, it’s cheap on a forward P/E basis, with a P/E of just 5.1.
Is D.R. Horton a value or a trap?
What else do you need to know about navigating the homebuilder stocks in 2022?
Tune into this week’s podcast to find out.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's decision to meet Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov signifies that it is an essential and trusted partnership that we had already, say experts.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi's decision to meet Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov out of a number of foreign ministers who visited New Delhi, experts say, is a signal from New Delhi to the global community as to who its reliable and trusted partners are.
The meeting coincided with United Kingdom Foreign Minister Liz Truss and the United States Deputy National Security Advisor Daleep Singh being in New Delhi.
Talking to Asianet Newsable, Forum for Global Studies President and Russian Studies expert Dr Sandeep Tripathi said, "We need to see the timing of the meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov when there is a war going on since over 36 days."
The Russian foreign minister has come to India to convey President Vladimir Putin's personal message to Prime Minister Modi. "It signifies that it is an essential and trusted partnership that we had already," Dr Tripathi said.
It should be noted that Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, who was in India about a week back, had sought Prime Minister Modi's appointment but no time was given to him. He had to proceed to the next leg of his tour to Nepal after meeting his Indian counterpart S Jaishankar and NSA Ajit Doval.
Dr Tripathi said, "India knows which guest is important for it and that could be a reason why Wang Yi had to leave the country without meeting Modi."
In the last 15 days, a couple of foreign ministers arrived in New Delhi to enhance their bilateral ties with India. Those foreign ministers were from the UK, China, Austria, Greece and Mexico.
A day after the US Deputy National Security Advisor Daleep Singh threatened consequences if India try to circumvent the sanctions. India on Friday announced that it has begun buying oil from Moscow. It should be mentioned that India has bought at least three to four days of supply.
Dr Sandeep Tripathi is of the view that selling the oil at discounted prices to India is a win-win situation for both countries amidst a slew of sanctions slapped on the Putin administration.
"Both countries are ready to go into the ruble-rupee mechanism. The agreement has almost been finalised to facilitate the bilateral trade between Moscow and New Delhi," he said.
He further added that these developments signal that Russia occupies a special place in India’s foreign policy. "Moscow is very important for India for energy security as well as strategic interests."
Commenting on the relationship with India, Lavrov has said that India-Russia rupee-ruble trade will be 'intensified'. "I have no doubt. No pressure will affect our partnership. They (US) are forcing others to follow their politics," the Russian minister said when asked if US pressure on India will affect Indo-Russian ties.
India announces procuring of oil from Russia
New Delhi has categorically rejected the United States and European Nations' concerns over buying oil from Russia at a discounted price.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has said that buying cheap Russian fuel is in the nation's interests.
The Putin administration has offered oil to India at $35 per barrel.
India imports 85 per cent of its oil needs from abroad. It has been importing less than one per cent of its requirements from Moscow.
A few days ago, senior officials from Russia's central bank had arrived in India to hold discussions with the Reserve Bank of India's officials to try and find ways of the payment issues.

Which turquoise shower curtain is best?
Every home could use a splash of bright turquoise. This rich, blue-green color gets its name from the beautiful rare gemstone, which ancient civilizations believed to be imbued with healing properties. Today, turquoise is used to uplift, introducing positivity and clarity to interiors. When it comes to your bathroom, a turquoise shower curtain is the perfect way to enhance your decor.
Whether patterned or solid, a turquoise shower curtain can transform shower time into a relaxing and rejuvenating experience. The best curtain to transform your bathroom is the Andover Mills Nala Two-Piece Solid Color Shower Curtain Set.
What to know before you buy a turquoise shower curtain
What colors go with turquoise?
A cool combination of yellow and blue, turquoise makes for an excellent accent. Used in excess, this color can get a little too electric and chaotic. If you want to bring out the best of turquoise, pair it with the blue/green and yellow end of the spectrum that comprises it — or against its opposite: coral pink. In addition to these colors, white and brown also make for good backdrops to turquoise that tone down its eccentricity.
Styling turquoise
Just as white and brown can be used to tame turquoise, so too can natural woods and light marbles. These materials are commonly found in mid-century modern and minimalist decors, but that doesn’t mean turquoise has to be a contemporary accent. You can also use bright turquoise with boho decor, really leaning into its spiritual properties. Or for more vintage and classically inspired homes, darker turquoise can provide an updated bit of panache.
Pattern or solid
Shower curtain designs offer a lot of opportunity to play with style. While a solid-turquoise shower curtain can enhance the color blocking of your bathroom with a deep pool of chroma, patterns yield the opposite effect. Whether a minimalist graphic, geometric pattern or intricate motif, a patterned shower curtain lets you bring another color (or more) into the mix. This is great for when you want turquoise to be the star of the show without dominating your decor.
What to look for in a quality turquoise shower curtain
Material
Shower curtain material is an important factor in determining its durability and ease to clean. Which you choose should come down to the look you want and your budget:
- Vinyl: The most affordable of the three, vinyl is easy to clean and completely waterproof. It’s lightweight and often used for liners, but you can hang them alone as a budget solution with some great printed and color-design options.
- Cotton: Use this luxuriously thick fabric if you’re looking to treat yourself. Cotton is the material you’d find in high-end hotels and spas. They last for years if machine-washed regularly, but they’re expensive and you will need a liner if you want it to last as cotton is super absorbent and could be a magnet for mold.
- Polyester: Halfway between vinyl and cotton, this synthetic fabric is treated for water resistance. Some polyester has the woven feel of cotton, but most have an unmistakable sheen more closely associated with plastics. These are machine washable, so you can get a lot of life out of them.
Size
For the most part, shower curtains are one-size-fits all. At 72 by 72 inches, they’re made to cover the long edge of the typical tub. But if you have any kind of walk-in shower or free-standing bathtub, you’ll need a specially sized shower curtain so you can shower in privacy — and so you don’t destroy your floors.
- Extra wide: Ranging from 108-180 inches, these curtains are for freestanding and inset bathtubs. The more sides you need to cover, the wider you’ll need your shower curtain to be.
- Extra long: Today’s coveted high-ceiling apartments can make hanging a shower curtain difficult. The standard size just won’t touch the floor. With an extra 1-2 feet, extra-long shower curtains let you hang that curtain rod high without worrying about water damage.
- Narrow: Walk-in showers can be pretty skinny, leaving a lot of extra fabric to bunch up against the wall. Narrow shower curtains halve the size of your typical curtain to provide just enough coverage without nuisance.
Hooks or grommets
Shower curtains are designed to hang by their grommets. These holes — located at the top hem of your curtain — are reinforced with either plastic or rust-proof steel rings. If they’re large enough, you can either snap or slide them directly onto your curtain rod. This installation method is easy, but can make sliding your curtain back and forth a little difficult.
Hooks, on the other hand, are designed to slide onto your curtain ride via rings. You then hook the grommets in one by one. This method takes a little more dexterity to install, but lets you pull your curtain completely flat with ease.
How much you can expect to spend on a turquoise shower curtain
Vinyl shower curtains are great if you’re on a budget, usually costing $5-$25. A polyester curtain will set you back $30-$60, and a cotton shower curtain can cost as much as $80-$120.
Turquoise shower curtain FAQ
How do I care for my shower curtain?
A. Because bathrooms are so moist and damp, your shower curtain is prone to mildew and mold — especially if it’s cotton. Be sure to wash fabric shower curtains once a month, and to wipe down your vinyl curtain with household cleaner. Use a liner to improve the lifespan of any material curtain, and run an exhaust fan or open a window to dry out your bathroom when you use the shower.
How often should I replace my shower curtain liner?
A. Replace them every six months or so. These are your first line of defense against water damage, so if you’re using a shower curtain liner, be sure to replace it frequently. The material is cheap compared to a full shower curtain, so this is an inexpensive yet important bit of routine bathroom maintenance.

Sarah Palin announces run in Alaska US House race
Sarah Palin on Friday shook up an already unpredictable race for Alaska's lone U.S. House seat, filing paperwork to join a field of at least 40 candidates seeking to fill the seat that had been held for 49 years by the late-U.S. Rep. Don Young, who died last month.
Related video above: Sarah Palin resumes court battle with Times after COVID-19
Palin filed paperwork Friday with a Division of Elections office in Wasilla, said Tiffany Montemayor, a division spokesperson. The paperwork was being processed by the division, she said.
The field includes current and former state legislators and a North Pole city council member named Santa Claus. The deadline to file was 5 p.m. Friday. A final list of official candidates was not yet available.
“Public service is a calling, and I would be honored to represent the men and women of Alaska in Congress, just as Rep. Young did for 49 years,” Palin said in a statement on social media. “I realize that I have very big shoes to fill, and I plan to honor Rep. Young’s legacy by offering myself up in the name of service to the state he loved and fought for, because I share that passion for Alaska and the United States of America.”
Palin is a former Alaska governor and was the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee. She has kept a low profile in Alaska politics since leaving office in 2009, before her term as governor ended.
Young, a Republican, had held Alaska's House seat since 1973 and was seeking reelection at the time of his death last month at age 88.
A special primary is set for June 11. The top four vote-getters will advance to an Aug. 16 special election in which ranked choice voting will be used, a process in line with a new elections system approved by voters in 2020.
The winner will serve the remainder of Young's term, which expires in January. The division is targeting Sept. 2 to certify the special election.
Others who filed Friday include Republican state Sen. Josh Revak; Democratic state Rep. Adam Wool; independent Al Gross, an orthopedic surgeon who unsuccessfully ran for U.S. Senate in 2020; and Andrew Halcro, a former Republican state lawmaker who is running as an independent. They join a field that includes Republican Nick Begich, who had positioned himself as a challenger to Young; Democrat Christopher Constant, an Anchorage Assembly member; and John Coghill, a Republican former state lawmaker.
Revak, who previously worked for Young's office and was a statewide co-chair for Young's reelection bid, said he felt a “strong calling and a duty" to step forward.
He said he was “heartbroken” by the filing timeline, coinciding with a period he said should be focused on remembering Young.
Young lied in state at the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday. A public memorial was held in the Washington, D.C.-area on Wednesday and a public memorial is planned in Anchorage on Saturday.
Revak said he also plans to run in the regular primary for U.S. House. Palin filed paperwork to run in the special and regular primaries as well, Montemayor said.
The August special election will coincide with the regular primary. The regular primary and November general election will determine who represents Alaska in the House for a two-year term starting in January.
Gross also plans to run in both the special and regular elections. His campaign announced a leadership team that includes several Republicans and independents, as well as Democrats, including former Gov. Tony Knowles.
“We are building a campaign that embodies all of Alaska,” Gross said in a statement.
Wool said he has privately discussed a run for years. He said he looked at the candidates running in the special primary and “wasn't that impressed. Many of them have never won an election, don't have any statewide recognition and politically aren't aligned certainly not with me or what I would think the majority of Alaskans are looking for.”
Wool, from Fairbanks, said he considers himself moderate. He said he has yet to decide whether to run in the regular primary.
Halcro, who has a podcast on which he talks politics, said during the campaign he plans to play up his intent to only run to fill the remainder of the term. He said if the person who wins the special election also is in the November general election, he expects they would spend a fair amount of time campaigning. He said if elected, he would be focused on congressional work.
Meanwhile, a man who years ago legally changed his name to Santa Claus and serves on the North Pole city council also filed with the state Division of Elections for the special primary. Claus, who said he has a “strong affinity” for Bernie Sanders, is running as an independent.
He said he is not soliciting or raising money. He said the new elections process “gives people like me an opportunity, without having to deal with parties, to throw our hat in the ring.”

President Joe Biden on Friday celebrated April as Arab American Heritage Month and thanked the Arab American community "for representing the best of who we are."
"The history and story of the Arab American community is deeply woven into the diverse tapestry of America," he said in a tweet. "This National Arab American Heritage Month, I thank the community for all that you have done to help move us forward and for representing the best of who we are."
Biden's message followed a statement from US Secretary of State Antony Blinken in support of the heritage month.
"This month, we recognize National Arab American Heritage Month and honor the contributions of this diverse community to America," said Blinken. "Immigrants with origins from the Arab world have been arriving to the United States since before our country's independence and have contributed to our nation's advancements in science, business, technology, foreign policy, and national security."
Blinken highlighted Arab Americans who served the country, including Nathan Badeen, a Syrian man who died fighting during the American Revolution, Ambassador Philip Habib, a former under secretary for political affairs who played an important role in the Vietnam peace talks, and Selwa "Lucky" Roosevelt, who served as chief of protocol from 1982 to 1989, "nearly 7 years and longer than anyone else prior."
Last year, the State Department declared April as Arab American Heritage Month for the first time and Blinken published a tweet in support of the month.
Maya Berry, executive director of the Arab American Institute, says the heritage month is "celebratory and important in fighting the bias the community has faced."
"This is something our community has been working on for decades, to get it to the point where it's finally being recognized on a national level is incredibly meaningful to our community," she told CNN.
Arab American History Month is not officially recognized by the entire federal government. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, a Michigan Democrat, co-sponsored and introduced a bill to Congress in support of the month, but it is still pending.
Arab Americans trace their origins to 22 Arabic-speaking countries in the Middle East and North Africa. Arabs began immigrating to the US in the late 1800s fleeing war, persecution and economic hardships, according to the Migration Policy Institute. California, New York, Michigan and Illinois have the largest populations of Arab American residents in the country, based on data from the 2015-2019 ACS Ancestry survey.
States that have recognized April as Arab American History Month in 2021 and years past include Arkansas, Hawaii, Michigan, New York, and North Carolina.
CORRECTION: A previous version of this story incorrectly said Friday was the first time Blinken recognized Arab American Heritage Month. Blinken last year posted on Twitter in support of the month.

AG News Release: Hawaii Attorney General Shikada Announces the Implementation Of Hawaii’s Remote Online Notary Public Website
HONOLULU – Hawaii Attorney General Holly T. Shikada announces the launching of the new Remote Online Notary Public Website.
“Previously, people were required to be physically present when requesting notary services. Now notaries and their customers can use audio-visual technology to conduct meetings,” AG Shikada said. “In partnership with NIC Hawaii, we sought to bring this registration process online as part of the Department’s continued efforts to transform how we can serve the people of Hawaii more efficiently and effectively.”
In 2021, Act 54 went into effect permitting the Hawaii Administrative Rules to be recently amended allowing remote notaries in Hawaii to perform remote online notarizations and provide services to signers in any location. In collaboration with NIC Hawaii, the Department of the Attorney General is pleased to announce active notaries public can now apply to become a remote online notary (RON) at notary.ehawaii.gov. To apply, notaries must visit notary.ehawaii.gov and submit the RON application. Notaries can make payments, schedule their exam, and view the status of their application at any time throughout the process. Notaries are required to be physically located in the state at the time of the notarial act.
The Department of the Attorney General’s Notary Office administers the duties imposed by Hawaii’s notary public law to commission and regulate all notaries public in the State of Hawaii. Notaries public are officially recognized by the State of Hawaii to administer oaths and affirmations, take acknowledgments, witness or attest signatures, certify copies or deposition, note protests of negotiable instruments, and perform notarizations for hundreds of thousands of important documents each year. More than 5,000 notaries hold a notary public commission in Hawaii.
Please be aware that the Notary Office does not endorse or recommend specific Online Notary Platforms.

WARNING: Graphic image
A 6-year-old boy has sustained horror injuries after being attacked by two wallabies before footy training.
The youngster, Koby Pender, was waiting for the session at Centrals Trinity Beach Junior Football Club in Cairns to start when he was struck and knocked to the ground.
He was left traumatised and shaken by the bloody incident, according to the club's junior vice president Daymen Thomas.

Advertise with NZME."Koby was covered in blood, it was a pretty scary attack," he told NCA Newswire.
"Two wallabies picked out Koby and just attacked him, they were on top of him. The coach was about 20 metres away and he had to run and physically fight them off.
"Then they jumped up to him at head height to try and get at the lad."
Koby was rushed to hospital in an ambulance after the traumatic encounter.
Dad Scott Pender, said while his son was shaken up by the incident, the family are grateful his injuries weren't worse.
"We are thankful they scratched his head and he didn't lose an eye,' he told Cairns Post.
"They scratched him, they kicked him, they jumped on him, you name it they did it."
Thomas said countless nearby wallabies have been a long-term issue for the club and those living in the surrounding area.

Advertise with NZME."There have become an ongoing problem for the area that nobody seems to be 100 per cent committed to fixing," he said.
"But to see this kid attacked like that I think it's a bit of a wake-up call that they are not the cute little furry animals that they appear to be."
