Actor Cuba Gooding Jr pleads guilty to forcible touching
NEW YORK (AP) - Actor Cuba Gooding Jr. pleaded guilty Wednesday to one count of forcible touching in a protracted criminal case accusing the Oscar-winning "Jerry Maguire" star of violating three different women at various Manhattan night spots in 2018 and 2019.
The single guilty plea came nearly three years after Gooding's arrest in the case that saw several delays as his lawyers sought to get the charges reduced or dismissed. It had been scheduled to go to trial at least twice, with an April 2020 trial date scuttled as coronavirus cases surged in New York and the state shut down most court matters.
Gooding, 54, was arrested in June 2019 after a 29-year-old woman told police he squeezed her breast without her consent at Magic Hour Rooftop Bar & Lounge near Times Square.
A few months later, he was charged in two additional cases as more women came forward to accuse him of abuse. The new charges alleged he pinched a server´s buttocks after making a sexually suggestive remark to her at TAO Downtown and forcibly touched a woman inappropriately at the LAVO New York nightclub, both in 2018.
Gooding pleaded guilty to the LAVO nightclub allegation.
Gooding had previously pleaded not guilty to six misdemeanor counts and denied all allegations of wrongdoing. His lawyers have argued that overzealous prosecutors, caught up in the fervor of the #MeToo movement, are trying to turn "commonplace gestures" or misunderstandings into crimes.

The judge had ruled that if the Gooding case went to trial, prosecutors could have called two additional women to testify about their allegations that Gooding also violated them. Those women, whose claims did not result in criminal charges, were among 19 other accusers whom prosecutors were seeking to call as witnesses.
Along with the criminal case, Gooding is accused in a lawsuit of raping a woman in New York City in 2013. After a judge issued a default judgment in July because Gooding hadn´t responded to the lawsuit, the actor retained a lawyer and is fighting the allegations.

'Simeone would tell us to wind big teams up' - Ex-Atletico man Trippier praises former boss but rejects 'dark arts' label
Ex-Atletico Madrid star Kieran Trippier revealed that he thoroughly enjoyed his time working under Diego Simeone in the Spanish capital.
Trippier moved to Atletico from Tottenham in 2019 and spent two and a half seasons in La Liga before returning to the Premier League with Newcastle United at the start of the year.
Simeone has received criticism in some circles for his apparently negative style of play, but his former charge is still a huge admirer of the Argentine.
Editors' Picks

- 'He's like a god' - Why Atletico Madrid’s players love Simeone
- Nigeria must hire competent coach for Super Eagles to restore lost glory – Rufai
What has been said?
"I loved playing for Simeone and thriving off defending," Trippier told BT Sport ahead of Atletico's Champions League quarter-final decider against Manchester City on Wednesday. "I improved massively playing for him. He is a special guy. Many people watch the odd game, but in La Liga they play totally different football.
"Against the top teams you need to be more defensive minded. It's not fair talking about the dark arts and him. When we used to play Liverpool and Chelsea he would tell us to get in their faces and wind them up. They want to wind players up.
"From minute one he will be asking for yellow cards from the touchline and the players will be winding up others. He wants players to get around the ref. Savic will be the big one tonight, he will be in Man City's faces."
Trippier under Simeone's reign
Already an established England international - and Champions League finalist - during his time with Tottenham, Trippier's move to Atletico Madrid helped take him to another level under Simeone's astute guidance.
The full-back made 86 appearances in all competitions and proved a key part of the team that beat out Real Madrid and Barcelona to take the 2020-21 Liga title, the Argentine's second with the Colchoneros.

Things Are Getting Spicy
These Hot Sauce Connoisseurs Are More Than Willing To Sh*t Their Brains Out
228 reads | submitted by Gizmodo via thetakeout.com
The Lede
Marketed under names like “Ass Blaster,” “Sh*t the Bed,” and “Professor Phardtpounder’s Colon Cleaner,” today’s hot sauce market hinges on the promise of toilet trauma. That makes sense given the presence of capsaicin, the active compound in hot peppers that gives them their red-hot spice. Capsaicin also serves as a chemical irritant in mammals, which explains the agony of accidentally splashing pepper juice into your eye.
Key Details
- Some are willing to brave anal hellfire in exchange for a hearty dose of spice. But for hot sauce mavens like 30-year-old Joe Hehl, the inevitable diarrhea is actually a good thing — a cleanse of sorts.
- But there’s a third category of hot sauce consumer: spice freaks who seek out the most painful hot sauce experience money can buy.
- Moving forward, hot sauce makers have to walk a tightrope: Is it possible to create an edgy, salacious product without alienating consumers?

It took four seasons, but Chase Cota is finally back where he belongs.
Buy Ducks TicketsOregon recruited the son of famed safety Chad Cota when he was one of the top players in the state coming out of Medford. The Ducks really wanted the 6-foot-3, 210-pound receiver and it was a surprise when Chase chose to go play for UCLA instead.
But thanks to the pandemic year of 2020, Cota still has one more year of eligibility and he has decided to play his final season where his father helped lead the Gang Green defense.
“It was definitely still a tough decision because it was like, as much as it’d be great to come back home, which I ended up doing, and playing for the Ducks after I grew up a Duck fan, it was also just like the best spot for the last year of college football,” he said. “I thought I could fit in the best and have an impact and set myself up for success.”
At UCLA, Cota caught 67 passes for 883 yards and scored six times. With his size and experience, Cota could have gone to a few other schools. Coming to Oregon wasn’t a sure thing. But Cota says that he clicked with the new coaching staff and coming back home was the right thing to do.
“I really liked Coach (Junior) Adams and Coach (Kenny) Dillingham. I just thought my communication with them and hearing what they had to say about the offense and the opportunity. It sounded really good,” he said.
The Ducks have a receiver room full of talent but are low on experience. They’re all either freshmen, redshirt freshmen, or sophomores, except junior Isaah Crocker. Having a senior with Cota can only be beneficial for all involved.
“It’s not like I came here because there are no receivers,” Cota said. “There’s a bunch of really good receivers here so just to be in a really good room and to think that I can help enhance it is the experience I wanted to be in.”

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Flooding in South Africa's Durban area has taken at least 259 lives and is a “catastrophe of enormous proportions,” President Cyril Ramaphosa said Wednesday.
“This disaster is part of climate change. It is telling us that climate change is serious, it is here," said Ramaphosa, visiting flooded areas of Durban and the surrounding eThekwini metropolitan area.
"We no longer can postpone what we need to do, and the measures we need to take to deal with climate change,” he said.
The death toll is expected to continue rising as search and rescue operations continue in KwaZulu-Natal province, officials said. The province is about to be declared a disaster area by the national government, said Ramaphosa.
“KwaZulu-Natal is going to be declared a provincial area of disaster, so that we are able to do things quickly. The bridges have collapsed, the roads have collapsed, people have died and people are injured,” said Ramaphosa.
He said one family had lost 10 members in the devastating floods.
Residents have had to flee their homes as they were swept away, buildings collapsed and road infrastructure severely damaged. Durban port was flooded and shipping containers were swept away into a jumbled heap.
Authorities were also seeking to restore electricity to large parts of the province after heavy flooding at various power stations.
Rescue efforts by the South African National Defense Force were delayed as the military’s air wing was also affected by the floods, Gen. Rudzani Maphwanya said. The military was able to deploy personnel and helicopters around the province on Wednesday, he said.
The South Africa Weather Services has warned of continued winds and rains and the risk of continued flooding in Kwazulu-Natal and other provinces over the upcoming Easter weekend. South Africa's Eastern Cape, Free State and North West provinces could be affected, it said.

Miamisburg SWAT standoff ends with man in custody
Apr. 13—A man is in custody after a standoff including SWAT at an apartment building in the 500 block of Cherry Hill Drive in Miamisburg for a wanted person.
Around 4:25 p.m. a patrol officer saw a man they recognized as having felony warrant, according to Miamisburg police. When the officer pulled into the apartment complex parking lot, the man went into an apartment and reportedly refused to come out.
Because the man would not leave the apartment and additional information that he was armed, police called SWAT to respond, said Miamisburg Sgt. Jeff Muncy.
Chemical munitions were used during the standoff, and around 8:37 p.m. the man was taken into custody. He was taken to Kettering Health Miamisburg, formerly Sycamore Medical Center, as part of police protocol and to clean up chemical irritants, Muncy said.
The 41-year-old was booked into the Montgomery County Jail on preliminary obstructing official business, resisting arrest and inducing panic charges, according to jail records. He has not been formally charged at this time.
No officers were injured during the incident.
Muncy noted refusing to come to the door during similar incidents only prolong the situation.
"The police are not just going to go away," he said. "Also, in addition to the warrants or the original charges that one may face, they will only tack on additional charges when refusing to come to the door."
It also can put their life at risk, as well as the life of police and other members of the public, Muncy added.
"It is always better to just take care of your business before it comes to something like this," he said.
We are working to learn more and will update this story with any new information.

Harfang and LaSalle Announce Completion of Merger
MONTREAL and VANCOUVER, April 13, 2022 - Harfang Exploration Inc. (TSX-V: HAR) ("Harfang") and LaSalle Exploration Corp. (TSX-V: LSX) ("Lasalle") are pleased to announce that they have completed their previously announced merger by way of a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "Arrangement") pursuant to which Harfang has acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of LaSalle (the "LaSalle Shares") on the basis of 0.1813 common share of Harfang (on a post-consolidation basis) (the "Harfang Shares") for each LaSalle Share. Harfang also announces that it has implemented the previously announced consolidation of its common shares on a 2.1554 for 1 basis (the "Consolidation") following the approval of such Consolidation by the board of directors of Harfang as shareholder approval of same was not required under Harfang's governing corporate law. Following the completion of the Consolidation, the new CUSIP number for the Harfang Shares is 412379208. The transactions contemplated herein are expected to be effective at the opening of trading on the TSX Venture Exchange or around April 19, 2022.
This transaction consolidates the contiguous gold exploration assets of Lasalle's Radisson and Harfang's Serpent properties, James Bay Region, Qu?bec, both of which will benefit from operational efficiency, synergies and a combined exploration strategy as the projects advance, along with an extensive portfolio of highly prospective exploration projects in Qu?bec and Ontario.
Transaction Highlights
The transaction offers several positive direct benefits to the shareholders of Harfang and LaSalle, including, the following:
- Highly qualified board and management team with a track record of success;
- Approximately $10M in the treasury along with strong support from major Quebec Institutional Funds;
- Improved exploration focus on the district-scale gold corridor found on the consolidated Serpent / Radisson property that covers a total surface area of 508.4 km2 in the James Bay district;
- An extensive portfolio of highly prospective exploration properties including Egan, Menarik, Menarik East, Lake Aulneau and Blakelock among others that offer significant potential to unlock shareholder value;
- Solid platform for further consolidation and growth opportunities.
Ian Campbell, incoming President and CEO of Harfang commented, "I am very excited about leading the team as we begin this new chapter of Harfang. We are uniquely positioned as a value focused explorer based on the wide range of skillsets and depth of talent that both management and the Board bring to the table. I look forward to reporting on our progress as we advance on multiple fronts on our existing portfolio and continue to establish ourselves as a premier growth vehicle. On behalf of Harfang, I wish to recognize the valuable contributions of management and board members of both LaSalle and Harfang not continuing on with us, all of whom have played an important role in achieving this platform and wish them every success going forward."

In addition, in connection with the closing of the Arrangement and as previously announced, Harfang has subscribed for 1,250,000 common shares of Monarch Mining Corporation, at a price of $0.60 per share, for a total amount of $750,000.
Board and Management

- Jean-Pierre Janson as Chairman (current Chairman of Midland Exploration)
- Andr? Gaumond (former President of Virginia Mines)
- Daniel Innes (founder and original CEO, Lake Shore Gold Corp.)
- Ian Campbell (President and CEO of LaSalle)
- Sylvie Prud'homme (former Manager, Investor Relations at Osisko Mining Corporation)
- Karen Rees (former VP Exploration and Corporate Secretary at Temex Resources Corp.)
- Vincent Dub?-Bourgeois (CEO of GoldSpot Discoveries Corp.)

Fran?ois Huot remains Vice President Exploration and Yvon Robert remains as Chief Financial Officer.

California plan aims to triple sale of electric cars by 2026
By KATHLEEN RONAYNE
Associated Press
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California wants electric vehicle sales to triple in the next four years to 35% of all new car purchases. That’s part of proposed rules released Tuesday by the California Air Resources Board that aim to reduce planet-warming emissions. It puts the state on a roadmap to achieve Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom’s ambitious goal of phasing out the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035. Californians could still drive and resell gas-powered cars. The air board says passenger vehicles count for about a quarter of the state’s greenhouse gas emissions, more than any other single source. The plan faces a state and federal review process.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Twins placed left fielder Alex Kirilloff on the 10-day injured list with inflammation in his surgically repaired right wrist on Wednesday.
Kirilloff was scratched from the lineup against the Los Angeles Dodgers, replaced by Nick Gordon. Outfielder Trevor Larnach was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul to replace the 24-year-old Kirilloff on the roster. The 2016 first-round draft pick had his 2021 season cut short by the surgery in July.
Kirilloff is 1 for 17 at the plate this year with seven strikeouts. As a rookie last season, he hit .251 with eight homers and 34 RBIs in 215 at-bats. He tried to play through the wrist discomfort for awhile, before the surgery decision was made.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The biggest offseason clue forecasting Aaron Rodgers’ eventual decision to stay in Green Bay came when Tom Clements ended his retirement to begin a second stint as the Packers quarterback coach.
Clements also held that position when Rodgers led the Packers to a Super Bowl title during the 2010 season. Clements continued getting praise from the four-time MVP long after leaving Green Bay.
The 68-year-old Clements now wants to help the 38-year-old Rodgers make at least one more Super Bowl appearance.
“I know that’s what he wants,” Clements said this week. “He wants another Super Bowl. And that was one of the things that intrigued me.”
Clements’ return to Green Bay is one of many changes to the Packers offensive staff this season as they adapt to life without Nathaniel Hackett, who spent the past three seasons as Green Bay’s offensive coordinator before becoming the Denver Broncos head coach.
Hackett hired former Packers tight ends coach Justin Outten as his offensive coordinator. Clements takes over a position formerly held by Luke Getsy, who left to become Chicago’s offensive coordinator under new Bears coach Matt Eberflus.
Even though Packers coach Matt LaFleur lost much of his offensive staff, the new guys have plenty of familiarity with Green Bay’s organization.
LaFleur promoted from within by making former offensive line coach Adam Stenavich the new coordinator and having former assistant offensive line coach Luke Butkus — the nephew of Hall of Fame linebacker Dick Butkus — fill Stenavich’s old spot. New tight ends coach John Dunn was a senior analyst for the Packers last season.
They face a major task in trying to make sure Green Bay’s offense maintains its efficiency without All-Pro receiver Davante Adams, who was traded to the Las Vegas Raiders for a first-round and second-round draft pick.
“That’s going to be a big challenge,” Stenavich said. “I know our personnel staff and our coaching staff are really working hard at trying to find the best fits, whether it’s through the draft or free agency, and I’m really excited about it.”
The loss of his top playmaker could make it tough for Rodgers to maintain the form he showed while earning MVP honors the past two seasons. Rodgers at least should benefit from having Clements back on board.
Clements previously worked for the Packers from 2006-16, first as a quarterbacks coach and later as offensive coordinator on Mike McCarthy’s staff. Rodgers has said he owes Clements plenty of credit for his development.
After working as the Arizona Cardinals passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach from 2019-20, Clements spent last season away from the game.
“I didn’t have the itch to come back,” Clements said.
A conversation with Rodgers helped change his mind.
“It was because of coming back to Green Bay, with Aaron, chance to win a Super Bowl,” Clements said. “Those were the primary considerations.”
That conversation when Rodgers was still deciding whether to return to the Packers, request a trade or retire. LaFleur said at the NFL scouting combine that Rodgers had a “significant” role in Clements’ return.
“I think we interviewed each other to some level,” LaFleur said at the time regarding his discussions with Clements. “But the conversations we had, it was pretty easy for me to see why he is such a great quarterback coach and developer and such a great communicator. He has such a great even-keeled demeanor.”
Although Clements spent the past five seasons away from Green Bay, he still watched enough games to monitor Rodgers’ progress. He’s eager to join forces with the Packers superstar once again.
“Looking at it from afar, I thought he was playing a style more like when he was younger because he’s playing more under center, play-action passes,” Clements said. “In the later years that we were here, it was more of a not-too-much under center, exclusively shotgun, more of a spread offense. And in the early years, we relied on the running game and the play-action pass and got in the shotgun more on third-down situations like that, and that’s more the style that I saw.
“When you can run the ball, it opens up a lot of things, and there’s been a lot of explosive passes over the years off the play-action pass game, and hopefully we can continue to do that.”

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Jacksonville Jaguars left tackle Cam Robinson signed his franchise tender Wednesday, guaranteeing him $16.7 million this season.
Jaguars general manager Trent Baalke and new coach Doug Pederson have said repeatedly they hope to sign Robinson to a long-term deal.
The former Alabama standout has started 61 games over five seasons since Jacksonville drafted him with the 34th overall pick in 2017. But he’s been far from one of the league’s best blind-side protectors.
Using the franchise tag on him for a second straight year was a surprise move considering the Jaguars drafted Stanford left tackle Walker Little with the 45th overall pick last year in hopes of pairing him up with quarterback Trevor Lawrence for the foreseeable future. Little started the final two games of the 2021 season and played well, leading some to believe Baalke would move on from Robinson.
But with Robinson back for a sixth season, Little will compete with Jawaan Taylor at right tackle. With Robinson, Little and Taylor in the mix, it’s unlikely the Jags would draft Alabama’s Evan Neal or North Carolina State’s Iken Ekwonu with the No. 1 pick in two weeks.
Instead, they’re seemingly poised to go with a pass rusher — probably Michigan’s Aidan Hutchinson — or try to trade out of the top spot in hopes of picking up more draft capital.
Either way, the team’s offensive line will be revamped.
Longtime center Brandon Linder retired after eight injury-filled seasons, and Jacksonville let starting guards Andrew Walker and A.J. Cann leave in free agency.
The Jags signed five-time Pro Bowl guard Brandon Scherff to a three-year, $49.5 million contract that included $30 million guaranteed. They also brought back versatile backup guard/tackle Will Richardson and longtime backup center Tyler Shatley.
But holes remain. The team is expected to use at least two of its 12 draft picks to bolster a line that allowed Lawrence to get sacked 32 times in 2021.

West Ham star Manuel Lanzini dodges road ban for driving £73k Porsche Cayenne with no licence or insurance
WEST Ham star Manuel Lanzini dodged a ban for driving his Porsche with no licence or insurance — and blamed the DVLA.
The midfielder, 29, took his £73,000 hybrid Cayenne to a chemist to get medicine for his wife.
He showed cops his Argentinian licence in East London and admitted he should have swapped it for a British one.
Dad-of-one Lanzini pleaded guilty before City of London JPs.
He got six points and must pay £1,735.
Lawyer Mark Haslam said: “The court will be aware that the DVLA has not covered itself in glory during the pandemic and many people put off their application for a licence.
“It was a short journey, an error of judgment.
“He does not need to complete a means form.
“He is wealthy but I’m not going to give the bench a clue as to how wealthy.”

During ECW's high-level mission – with strategic partners USAID, FCDO/UK and Theirworld – USAID announced a new $18 million contribution.
CHISINAU, Moldavia, April 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Expanding on Education Cannot Wait's (ECW) US$5 million Ukraine First Emergency Response grant announced in March, ECW today announced a new, initial US$1.5 million allocation to support the education in emergencies response for the Ukraine refugee crisis in Moldova while on mission with strategic partners USAID, FCDO/UK and Theirworld. This new allocation brings ECW's total Ukraine crisis education response to US$6.5 million to date.
The new grant will be delivered in partnership with the Government of Moldova to ensure refugee children and youth can access safe and protective learning opportunities. Investments will also benefit children in the host communities.
During the high-level mission, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) announced an additional US$18 million contribution to the ECW global trust fund to further support ECW education responses in crisis-impacted countries across the globe. This contribution makes the USA the third largest donor to ECW – the United Nations global fund for education in emergencies and protracted crises – after Germany and the UK.
With an estimated US$30 million funding gap for the emergency education response in Ukraine, ECW calls on donors and strategic partners to urgently provide additional funding to respond to the vast humanitarian crisis unfolding across the region.
According to recent reports, approximately 400,000 people have crossed the border into Moldova fleeing the escalation of the conflict in Ukraine since February. While the majority continued their journey towards other neighboring countries and Western Europe, Moldova hosts today an estimated 100,000 refugees. These include about 50,000 refugee girls and boys, of whom only 1,800 are currently enrolled in school.
"Refugee children from Ukraine have fled a brutal war and have arrived dispossessed and traumatized in Moldova. Public schools are open to refugee children, however the capacity is over-stretched and there is a need for urgent mental health and psycho-social services, sanitation, and teachers to respond to the influx of pre-school and school-aged refugee children," said Yasmine Sherif, Director of Education Cannot Wait.
The war is putting children and adolescents living in Ukraine at grave risk. Recent estimates indicate that almost 5 million refugees have fled Ukraine, with an additional 7.1 million people internally displaced. All school-age children in Ukraine have seen their education disrupted by the conflict, and according to the latest estimates, more than 900 education facilities have been destroyed or damaged in the fighting, and as many as 3.3 million school-aged children require urgent humanitarian assistance.

Devon Energy wins two price target raises on strong shareholder return profile
Devon Energy (NYSE:DVN) climbed more than 2% Wednesday to a seven-year high after analysts at Truist and Citi raised their stock price targets to $80 and $68, respectively.
Maintaining his Buy rating, Truist's Neal Dingmann said Devon "exuded operational and financial confidence at our meeting with no change to their material shareholder return plan that could likely once again pay out 90%-plus of adjusted free cash flow."
Devon "appears to be staying ahead of the curve to ensure no bottlenecks or cost spikes occur," even as oilfield services inflation likely will increase in H2 2022, Dingmann wrote.
Dingmann said Devon was "equally as confident on production that likely dipped in Q1 due to D&C timing and NGL volumes, then rebounded in the current quarter to remain steady going forward."
Citi's Scott Gruber noted Devon's commitment to shareholder returns but "the sharp run-up in DVN's stock post the Q4 blackout period may limit the magnitude of buybacks executed."
Even with the stock running higher, Devon Energy is "an undervalued energy player with high potential," Rishi Prakash writes in a bullish analysis published recently on Seeking Alpha.

TOKYO (AP) — As millions of Ukrainians fled their country, a longtime Tokyo resident did the opposite. Sasha Kaverina left her life in Japan and rushed to Ukraine to rescue her parents after a Russian missile hit their apartment building.
Kaverina’s main goal in returning was to get her parents out of their hometown of Kharkiv, the second-largest city in battered eastern Ukraine, to a safer place in western Ukraine. But Kaverina, who had organized fund-raising and antiwar rallies in Japan for her homeland, also delivered medicine, first-aid kits and other relief goods.
Like many Ukrainian expats around the world, the war in her homeland has upended her life. Despite reports of horrendous Russian attacks, she said she is not afraid for herself, but for her parents and relatives.
Because of her antiwar and pro-Ukraine activities in Japan, she fears that the Russians could persecute or kill those close to her if they return to Kharkiv, which is now under fierce attack and may fall under Russian control.
“A lot of Ukrainians are worried (that) if Russians occupy us, pro-Ukrainian people would be killed,” as they were in Bucha and other cities, she said in an online interview from Chernivtsi, a city in southwestern Ukraine near the border with Romania where she took her parents.
Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24. Since then, more than 4 million Ukrainians have fled the country and millions more have been displaced internally.
Kaverina’s parents narrowly survived in early March when a Russian missile badly damaged their eighth-floor apartment in a 16-story building and forced them to evacuate to their relatives’ home in the suburbs.
After nearly two days on planes and buses, Kaverina made it to Chernivtsi, where she reunited with her parents, who had driven across the country from Kharkiv to meet her.
She is renting an apartment in Chernivtsi for her parents while she does remote work for her job at an IT company in Japan, where she intends to return, and volunteers as an aid worker with the help of her parents.
Ukrainian officials have urged residents in eastern Ukraine to evacuate to the west. But even in Chernivtsi the family can hear air-raid warning sirens at night, though they haven’t experienced actual bombings, she said.
Some people go to shelters every night, and the place may not be safe any more, Kaverina said.
Whenever a door bangs or they hear footsteps, her parents immediately jump, apparently because of trauma from the missile attack on their apartment.
Kaverina worries about more Russian atrocities.
“If Kharkiv is occupied, people who have been mentioned in the media or known for their pro-Ukrainian positions, they may be targeted. I have no problem … but I’m worried about my parents,” she said, requesting anonymity for her parents. “My parents will be targeted for being with me and for their pro-Ukrainian activities.”
Several times a day, her parents call their relatives, friends and colleagues in Kharkiv to make sure everyone is safe and alive. They worry whenever anyone is unreachable.
One of her father’s acquaintances was taken to “a filtering camp” where Russians forced residents to remove their shirts to look for any tattoos indicating a pro-Ukrainian stance, Kaverina said.
Her father can’t leave the country because of local laws, she said, and she hasn’t been able to persuade her mother to fly back to Tokyo with her. Her parents want to return as soon as possible to their hometown, where her father’s 89-year-old mother has stayed behind because of old age.
“My parents ask me every day when they can go back to Kharkiv, and I say, ‘No, you cannot,’” she said. “They want to go back to get their photos, not TV, money or documents. … It’s so sad and maybe stupid, but for them it’s their whole life.”
Kaverina said their apartment in Kharkiv is uninhabitable, but her parents, like many others, still hope to rebuild. To her, their determination seems linked to Ukraine’s strong resistance to the Russians.
Kaverina, who has been in Japan for five years, said she has seen a lack of tolerance for foreign residents and diversity in Japan. So she was surprised by Tokyo’s quick pledge to accept displaced Ukrainians, even though Japan does not expect many will come. Rather than going to a faraway, unfamiliar Asian country, most Ukrainians are turning to Europe, hoping to return home at some point.
About 400 war-displaced Ukrainians have arrived in Japan, where a number of municipalities and companies are offering to provide housing, language lessons and jobs.
The biggest hurdle for many Ukrainians is to get plane tickets to Japan, she said, because they have lost their jobs, homes and money since the invasion.
Japan was quick to join the United States and other leading economies in imposing sanctions against Russia and providing support for Ukraine. Tokyo has also sent nonlethal defense equipment such as helmets and bulletproof vests to Ukraine as an exception to its arms equipment transfer ban to countries in conflict.
Japan can also contribute to disaster relief, including sending construction equipment, Kaverina said. Because many people died under rubble while awaiting rescue, Kaverina said that she plans to reach out to Komatsu or other Japanese construction machine makers for help.
“I had been just an ordinary long-time resident in Japan until a month ago, but what happened changed not only the lives of Ukrainians (in the country) but also the lives of Ukrainians abroad,” she said.

Watch ice-cool Thibaut Courtois send Chelsea’s Kai Havertz ‘back to Leverkusen’ with crazy extra-time Cruyff turn
ICE-COOL Thibaut Courtois sent Chelsea's Kai Havertz "back to Bayer Leverksen" with a risky extra-time Johan Cruyff turn.
The former Chelsea keeper let in three goals in the Champions League quarter-final second leg.
But goals by Rodrygo and Karim Benzema were enough to win the tie 5-4, knocking out the defending European champions.
Keeper Courtois, who happens to be a former Chelsea player, produced one of the moments of the match.
With Real leading 5-4 on aggregate in the 109th minute, Courtois was the coolest man inside the Bernabeu as he pulled off a Cruyff turn to embarrass Havertz, who was closing him down.
One footy fan said on Twitter: "Courtois sent Kai Havertz back to Leverkusen."
Another said: "Courtois… my heart dropped."
It was looking like it might be Chelsea's night up until the 80th minute.
Goals by Mason Mount, Antonio Rudiger and Timo Werner looked like it had secured the unlikeliest of comebacks away from home.
But Rodrygo's goal ten minutes from time, finishing well from Luka Modric's wonder pass forced the game into extra-time.

Main man Benzema then struck six minutes after the restart to crush Chelsea's hearts.
Thomas Tuchel's men will feel hard done by, after seeing Marcos Alonso's goal in normal time chalked off for handball.
The ball bounced off the Real defender and up onto Alonso's thigh but slightly brushed his hand before he powered the ball into the top right corner.

Fans don’t have to worry for too long about Whoopi Goldberg’s sudden break from “The View.”
The 66-year-old’s co-host Joy Behar dropped the bombshell news about her hiatus Monday, saying that the EGOT winner would be absent from the show for a brief time.
It was announced Wednesday that Goldberg will be on hiatus from the long-running talk show until May 2. “ICYMI: Our EGOT winner is away doing EGOT things! See you soon, @WhoopiGoldberg,” the show tweeted, adding that she will be back to host Hot Topics then.
The “Ghost” actress stepped back from the show because she is filming the upcoming Amazon series “Anansi Boys” in Scotland.
Behar, 79, explained to the audience earlier this week that Goldberg was shooting her six-episode series, mistakenly calling it a “movie.”
“If you’re wondering where Whoopi is, the girl’s got a movie she’s making and she will be back when she finishes whatever she’s doing,” Behar said. “So, she’s gone for a while.”
The “Sister Act” star is on deck to play the character Bird Woman, a villainous goddess, in the miniseries. She opened up to Variety earlier this month about how thrilled she is to be a part of the production.
“I have been a fan of this book for a very long time and when Neil Gaiman told me it was being brought to the screen, I did everything I could to be part of it to help make people aware of Anansi and all his magic,” she said.
“Anansi Boys” is based on the 2005 fantasy book of the same name by British writer Gaiman. Malachi Kirby, L. Scott Caldwell, Delroy Lindo and Jason Watkins also star in the project. No release date has been set.
The “Stardust” author, 61, also told Variety that he wanted Goldberg to play Bird Woman decades before he even crossed paths with her in 2018 at a New York Comic Con event.
“When I first conceived ‘Anansi Boys’ decades ago, I imagined Whoopi Goldberg as Bird Woman,” Gaiman revealed to the outlet.
“She mentioned that she had just finished listening to Sir Lenny Henry’s reading of ‘Anansi Boys’ and that it was one of her favorite books,” he continued. “Sometimes things feel planned and inevitable, and we are incredibly lucky. She’s going to be scary.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden now says Russia’s war in Ukraine amounts to genocide, accusing President Vladimir Putin of trying to “wipe out the idea of even being a Ukrainian.”
“Yes, I called it genocide,” he told reporters in Iowa on Tuesday shortly before boarding Air Force One to return to Washington. “It’s become clearer and clearer.”
Last week, Biden stopped short of saying Russia’s actions amounted to genocide.
At an earlier event Tuesday in Menlo, Iowa, addressing spiking energy prices caused by the war, Biden had implied that he thought Putin was carrying out genocide against Ukraine, but offered no details. Neither he nor his administration announced new consequences because of the contention.
Biden’s comments drew immediate praise from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who had encouraged Western leaders to use the term to describe Russia’s invasion of his country. But French President Emmanuel Macron declined to take his rhetoric that far in comments Wednesday.
“I am prudent with terms today,” Macron said. “Genocide has a meaning. The Ukrainian people and Russian people are brotherly people. … I’m not sure if the escalation of words serves our cause.”
Macron said it’s been established that the Russian army has committed war crimes in Ukraine.
Zelenskyy applauded Biden’s assessment.
“True words of a true leader @POTUS,” he tweeted Tuesday. “Calling things by their names is essential to stand up to evil. We are grateful for US assistance provided so far and we urgently need more heavy weapons to prevent further Russian atrocities.”
Biden called Zelenskyy on Wednesday and the pair spoke for nearly an hour. Biden subsequently announced that he was authorizing an additional $800 million in weapons, ammunition and other security assistance to Ukraine.
“The steady supply of weapons the United States and its allies and partners have provided to Ukraine has been critical in sustaining its fight against the Russian invasion,” Biden said in a statement. “It has helped ensure that Putin failed in his initial war aims to conquer and control Ukraine. We cannot rest now. As I assured President Zelenskyy, the American people will continue to stand with the brave Ukrainian people in their fight for freedom.”
A United Nations treaty, to which the U.S. is a party, defines genocide as actions taken with the “intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group.”
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau noted that “there are official processes around determinations of genocide” but added of Biden’s using the term, “I think it’s absolutely right that more people … (are) talking and using the word genocide in terms of what Russia is doing and Vladimir Putin has done.”
“The way they are targeting Ukrainian identity and culture, these are all things that are war crimes that Putin that is responsible for,” Trudeau said.
Past American leaders often have dodged formally declaring bloody campaigns such as Russia’s in Ukraine to be genocide, hesitating to trigger an obligation that under international convention requires signing countries to intervene. That obligation was seen as blocking President Bill Clinton from declaring Rwandan Hutus’ killing of 800,000 ethnic Tutsis in 1994 as genocide, for example.
Biden said it would be up to lawyers to decide if Russia’s conduct met the international standard, but “it sure seems that way to me.”
“More evidence is coming out literally of the horrible things that the Russians have done in Ukraine, and we’re only going to learn more and more about the devastation and let the lawyers decide internationally whether or not it qualifies,” he said.
During a trip to Europe last month, Biden faced controversy for a nine-word statement seemingly supporting the overthrow of Putin, which would have represented a dramatic shift toward direct confrontation with another nuclear-armed country. “For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power,” Biden said of Putin.
He clarified the comments days later, saying: “I was expressing the moral outrage that I felt toward this man. I wasn’t articulating a policy change.”

If you or someone you know needs resources or support related to sexual violence, contact the Maine Coalition Against Sexual Assault’s 24/7 hotline at 800-871-7741.
NEW YORK — Actor Cuba Gooding Jr. pleaded guilty Wednesday to one count of forcible touching in a protracted criminal case accusing the Oscar-winning “Jerry Maguire” star of violating three different women at various Manhattan night spots in 2018 and 2019.
The single guilty plea came nearly three years after Gooding’s arrest in the case that saw several delays as his lawyers sought to get the charges reduced or dismissed. It had been scheduled to go to trial at least twice, with an April 2020 trial date scuttled as coronavirus cases surged in New York and the state shut down most court matters.
Gooding, 54, was arrested in June 2019 after a 29-year-old woman told police he squeezed her breast without her consent at Magic Hour Rooftop Bar & Lounge near Times Square.
A few months later, he was charged in two additional cases as more women came forward to accuse him of abuse. The new charges alleged he pinched a server’s buttocks after making a sexually suggestive remark to her at TAO Downtown and forcibly touched a woman inappropriately at the LAVO New York nightclub, both in 2018.
Gooding pleaded guilty to the LAVO nightclub allegation.
Gooding had previously pleaded not guilty to six misdemeanor counts and denied all allegations of wrongdoing. His lawyers have argued that overzealous prosecutors, caught up in the fervor of the #MeToo movement, are trying to turn “commonplace gestures” or misunderstandings into crimes.
The judge had ruled that if the Gooding case went to trial, prosecutors could have called two additional women to testify about their allegations that Gooding also violated them. Those women, whose claims did not result in criminal charges, were among 19 other accusers whom prosecutors were seeking to call as witnesses.
Along with the criminal case, Gooding is accused in a lawsuit of raping a woman in New York City in 2013. After a judge issued a default judgment in July because Gooding hadn’t responded to the lawsuit, the actor retained a lawyer and is fighting the allegations.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The biggest offseason clue forecasting Aaron Rodgers’ eventual decision to stay in Green Bay came when Tom Clements ended his retirement to begin a second stint as the Packers quarterback coach.
Clements also held that position when Rodgers led the Packers to a Super Bowl title during the 2010 season. Clements continued getting praise from the four-time MVP long after leaving Green Bay.
The 68-year-old Clements now wants to help the 38-year-old Rodgers make at least one more Super Bowl appearance.
“I know that’s what he wants,” Clements said this week. “He wants another Super Bowl. And that was one of the things that intrigued me.”
Clements’ return to Green Bay is one of many changes to the Packers offensive staff this season as they adapt to life without Nathaniel Hackett, who spent the past three seasons as Green Bay’s offensive coordinator before becoming the Denver Broncos head coach.
Hackett hired former Packers tight ends coach Justin Outten as his offensive coordinator. Clements takes over a position formerly held by Luke Getsy, who left to become Chicago’s offensive coordinator under new Bears coach Matt Eberflus.
Even though Packers coach Matt LaFleur lost much of his offensive staff, the new guys have plenty of familiarity with Green Bay’s organization.
LaFleur promoted from within by making former offensive line coach Adam Stenavich the new coordinator and having former assistant offensive line coach Luke Butkus — the nephew of Hall of Fame linebacker Dick Butkus — fill Stenavich’s old spot. New tight ends coach John Dunn was a senior analyst for the Packers last season.
They face a major task in trying to make sure Green Bay’s offense maintains its efficiency without All-Pro receiver Davante Adams, who was traded to the Las Vegas Raiders for a first-round and second-round draft pick.
“That’s going to be a big challenge,” Stenavich said. “I know our personnel staff and our coaching staff are really working hard at trying to find the best fits, whether it’s through the draft or free agency, and I’m really excited about it.”
The loss of his top playmaker could make it tough for Rodgers to maintain the form he showed while earning MVP honors the past two seasons. Rodgers at least should benefit from having Clements back on board.
Clements previously worked for the Packers from 2006-16, first as a quarterbacks coach and later as offensive coordinator on Mike McCarthy’s staff. Rodgers has said he owes Clements plenty of credit for his development.
After working as the Arizona Cardinals passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach from 2019-20, Clements spent last season away from the game.
“I didn’t have the itch to come back,” Clements said.
A conversation with Rodgers helped change his mind.
“It was because of coming back to Green Bay, with Aaron, chance to win a Super Bowl,” Clements said. “Those were the primary considerations.”
That conversation when Rodgers was still deciding whether to return to the Packers, request a trade or retire. LaFleur said at the NFL scouting combine that Rodgers had a “significant” role in Clements’ return.
“I think we interviewed each other to some level,” LaFleur said at the time regarding his discussions with Clements. “But the conversations we had, it was pretty easy for me to see why he is such a great quarterback coach and developer and such a great communicator. He has such a great even-keeled demeanor.”
Although Clements spent the past five seasons away from Green Bay, he still watched enough games to monitor Rodgers’ progress. He’s eager to join forces with the Packers superstar once again.
“Looking at it from afar, I thought he was playing a style more like when he was younger because he’s playing more under center, play-action passes,” Clements said. “In the later years that we were here, it was more of a not-too-much under center, exclusively shotgun, more of a spread offense. And in the early years, we relied on the running game and the play-action pass and got in the shotgun more on third-down situations like that, and that’s more the style that I saw.
“When you can run the ball, it opens up a lot of things, and there’s been a lot of explosive passes over the years off the play-action pass game, and hopefully we can continue to do that.”

BIRMINGHAM (Web Desk) - Daniel Vettori will take over as Birmingham Phoenix men s head coach for the Hundred following Andrew McDonald s appointment as Australia men s head coach.
Vettori was previously assistant coach at Phoenix, but acted as interim head coach for the inaugural edition of the Hundred in 2021 when McDonald remained with the Australian side as an assistant amid travel and scheduling issues caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Phoenix finished as runners-up in the competition, losing to Southern Brave in the final.
Vettori, the former New Zealand captain, has also held coaching roles with CPL side Barbados Royals, Brisbane Heat in the Big Bash, Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL and Middlesex in the Vitality Blast. He was Bangladesh spin-bowling coach from 2019-21.
"I absolutely loved my time working with the Birmingham Phoenix squad as head coach last summer, so taking on the role on a permanent basis was a very easy decision," Vettori said. "We made great strides in the first season and all coaches and players loved seeing the tournament develop, and we had such great support every time that we took to the field at Edgbaston.
"However, we want to go one better. It s a tough competition, but we ve retained well and recruited some excellent players through the draft. We look an even stronger outfit than in 2021 and hopefully we can continue to entertain the Birmingham Phoenix fans who get behind us."
Vettori recently worked with McDonald for the limited-overs leg of Australia s tour of Pakistan, acting as a spin-bowling consultant while McDonald was interim head coach.
Birmingham Phoenix general manager Craig Flindall said Vettori had developed a wealth of coaching experience in leading short-form tournaments around the world.
"We were very much aware that Andrew would be an outstanding candidate for the Australia role and we are grateful to Dan for supporting our plans to make an immediate appointment," Flindall said. "Whilst we re sorry that Andrew won t coach during the Hundred, he has played an integral role in developing the make-up of our squad over the last two years and in shaping our style of play. He has also been a pleasure to work with and everyone within the Birmingham Phoenix family wishes him the very best in his new role."
The Hundred men s competition begins on August 3, with Southern Brave hosting Welsh Fire. Phoenix will start their campaign away to Trent Rockets three days later and play their first home fixture against Brave at Edgbaston on August 10.

TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — The Cochise County (Arizona) Sheriff's Office reported a Mexican woman died after illegally attempting to cross into the U.S.
Sheriff Mark J. Dannels confirms she was climbing over the border fence off near Douglas, Ariz.m late Monday evening.
That's when she got stuck in the ropes and trapped upside down for far too long.
"These types of incidents are not political, they are humanitarian realities that someone has lost a loved one in a senseless tragedy," Sheriff Dannels shared.
Mexican authorities soon alerted American authorities, but it was too late.
Emergency crews took the 32-year-old to a local hospital where medical staff pronounced her dead.
"We have to do better in finding solutions to the challenges facing our border, and we have to do it for the right reasons," Dannels added. "Regardless of opinions, it is the facts that should direct our progress and we will keep working towards a shared goal of border safety and security."
Notice of her death was sent to the Mexican Consulate, which led to the sheriff's office identifying her.

Mayim Bialik is well aware that she's a Jeopardy! outfit repeater.
The Big Bang Theory alum never expected fans' reactions to her hosting looks on the popular trivia series, especially after viewers noticed her wearing the same burnt-orange blazer on two different episodes.
"The story is I've worn everything more than once," she exclusively told E! News' Daily Pop hosts Justin Sylvester and Loni Love on April 12. "But if you wear a burnt sienna cardigan blazer—you're going to wear it again. That's right. There is a budget, people, on Jeopardy!. I grew up with one bathroom till I was 15 and my brother was 19. We budget. We're gonna wear it again. And I'll wear it again!"
Even something as simple as straightening her hair is a big enough change to warrant an onslaught of opinions.
"Michael Anton's in charge of the hair, and he's like, ‘You do curls on Call Me Kat.' He's like, ‘We're gonna blow it out,'" she shared. "I was, like, ‘Fine, I look like a different kind of librarian, great!'"
Having guest-hosted the series alongside history-making champ Ken Jennings since longtime Alex Trebek died, Bialik revealed she would have never gotten the gig if it weren't for her son.
"My son was on social media and people were talking about guest hosts," she revealed. "My son was like, ‘Momma, they're talking about you on social media. They're saying you should guest host Jeopardy!.' I'm like, ‘That's not true.'"
A quick call to her agent was all it took to book the coveted role, which felt like a perfect fit for the neuroscientist, who is a self-proclaimed "nerd." And while her time on the show is currently "season to season," Bialik would love to take over full-time.
"It is a dream job," she said. "I learn every day. I get to meet new contestants every hour. It's fun. And the knowledge that these contestants have, it's just so much fun to watch. I'm entertained."
Already an accomplished actress, doctor and author, Bialik also recently took a turn on the other side of the camera, making her directorial debut with the new film As They Made Us, based on her own life experiences.
"My father passed away seven years ago, and I wasn't like, ‘I should write a movie about all the feelings that come up when you're grieving someone,'" she said. "But in the process of kind of grief, I started having all these memories, things come up. A lot of them were accompanied by music in my head, and I was like, ‘I think I should write this down.'"
Starring Dianna Agron, Dustin Hoffman and Candice Bergen, the film touches on topics that Bialik says weren't talked about during her childhood, including addiction and mental illness.
"The fact is there are stories like this in every family. Every race, class, gender, everybody has these kinds of issues of ‘the one who stayed,' ‘the one who left,' ‘we don't talk about this one.' That, to me, that is—it's about all those stories, which so many people have," she said.
It's through a film like this that the actress wants to change the narrative so that younger generations feel more comfortable talking about their struggles.
"With my kids, I'm honest with them when I struggle too," she shared. "I still live with mental health challenges. It's going to be my whole life, that's our story. So, I don't tell them I'm fine when I'm not because they can feel it in the air."
As They Made Us is available in theaters now and on VOD.

Officials identify woman who died after Watertown apartment fire
MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) - Jefferson County officials have identified the Watertown woman who died following an apartment fire last week.
The Jefferson County Medical Examiner’s Office stated Wednesday that Tramesha Smith, 31, died at a medical center following the fire on April 8 on the 1100 block of Boughton Street in Watertown.
The medical examiner’s office completed an autopsy on Monday and noted it is still working to determine a cause of death for Smith.
The investigation is ongoing, officials added.
Investigators reported last week that they were working to determine the cause of the fire to the eight-unit building. They estimated the fire did approximately $30,000 in damage to the complex.
The fire department noted that there were no working smoke detectors in the apartment where the fire originated.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Baker Mayfield feels the Cleveland Browns deceived him about their offseason plans, which resulted in them trading for Deshaun Watson.
Speaking on a podcast, Mayfield, whose tumultuous four-year run as Cleveland’s quarterback essentially ended when the team acquired Watson in a stunning deal last month with the Houston Texans, said the team was not upfront with him.
“I feel disrespected 100% because I was told one thing and they completely did another,” Mayfield said in an appearance on the “Ya Never Know” podcast, which was taped last week.
Mayfield struggled while playing most of last season with a torn labrum in his left, non-throwing shoulder, which he injured in Week 2. Cleveland fell way short of expectations, finished 8-9 and missed the playoffs after ending a long postseason drought the previous season.
He underwent surgery right after the season and Browns general manager Andrew Berry publicly indicated the team was planning to bring Mayfield back as the starter while privately investigating whether to add Watson, accused by two dozen massage therapists in Texas of sexual assault and harassment.
When Mayfield learned of the Browns’ interest, he demanded a trade. Watson, who initially turned down Cleveland, then changed his mind, waived his no-trade clause and signed a record-setting $230 million fully guaranteed contract.
While still upset over the way it was handled, Mayfield, the No. 1 overall pick in 2018, said he’s at peace with his time with the Browns.
“I really, truly honesty have no regrets of my time in Cleveland of what I tried to give that place,” he said. “True Clevelanders and true Browns fans know that, and that’s why I can walk away from the whole situation feeling like I did it.”
Mayfield remains on Cleveland’s roster as the team tries to work out a trade. The tricky part for the Browns is that he’s due to make $18.8 million, and there aren’t many teams willing to take on that salary.
As his performances worsened last season, the 26-year-old Mayfield acknowledged he spent too much time caring about how he was being treated. He said a break from social media helped, but it was hard to block out everything.
Mayfield was booed at FirstEnergy Stadium during a win over Detroit in Week 11 and skipped his postgame news conference.
“When people are so critical of it,” Mayfield said, “I would love to show up at somebody’s cubicle and just boo the (crap) out of them and watch them crumble. I’d be lying to you if I didn’t say that I get caught up in all the negativity and stuff during the year last year.”
Mayfield reflected on his time with the Browns during the 90-minute interview, his first since the Watson deal was completed.
He feels liberated being out of Cleveland.
“I got my taste of it because I’ve had four different head coaches in four years, a bunch of different coordinators. I’ve had the highs and they always come back,” he said. “I had great times my rookie year. I didn’t start in the beginning. I came in and had fun in the back half of the year. 2019 sucked. 2020 was great, made the playoffs.
“2021 was miserable. I’m just looking for stabilization right now. I know what I need to do to be the best version of me and be able to lead an organization. I’m in a good place right now. I have no clue where I’m going.”
Seattle and Carolina are still believed to be possible landing spots for Mayfield, who is looking forward to a reset of his career.
“I’m ready for the next chapter, the next opportunity,” he said. “Because the only thing I’m guaranteed with the next spot is one year, because I have one more year of guaranteed contract. So I have one year wherever I go and it’s my next interview. It’s something to put on my resume for the next job.
“Whether it be I play that year wherever it’s going to be and they extend me for longer, or if it’s that year and I get picked up somewhere else. I know I have this one year to do as much as I possibly can.”

PARIS (AP) — French far-right presidential candidate Marine Le Pen warned Wednesday against sending any more weapons to Ukraine, and called for a rapprochement between NATO and Russia once Moscow’s war in Ukraine winds down.
Le Pen, an outspoken nationalist who has long ties to Russia, also confirmed that if she unseats President Emmanuel Macron in France’s April 24 presidential runoff, she will pull France out of NATO’s military command and dial back French support for the whole European Union.
Macron, a pro-EU centrist, is facing a harder-than-expected fight to stay in power, in part because the economic impact of the war is hitting poor households the hardest. France’s European partners are worried that a possible Le Pen presidency could undermine Western unity as the U.S. and Europe seek to support Ukraine and end Russia’s ruinous war on its neighbor.
Asked about military aid to Ukraine, Le Pen said she would continue defense and intelligence support.
“(But) I’m more reserved about direct arms deliveries. Why? Because ... the line is thin between aid and becoming a co-belligerent,” the far-right leader said, citing concerns about an “escalation of this conflict that could bring a whole number of countries into a military commitment.”
Earlier Wednesday, French government spokesman Gabriel Attal said France had sent 100 million euros ($109 million) worth of weapons to Ukraine in recent weeks as part of a flow of Western arms.
Earlier in his term, Macron had tried to reach out to Russian President Vladimir Putin to improve Russia’s relations with the West, and Macron met with Putin weeks before the Russian invasion in an unsuccessful effort to prevent it. Since then, however, France has supported EU sanctions against Moscow and has offered sustained support to Ukraine.
Le Pen also said France should strike a more independent path from the U.S.-led NATO military alliance.
And despite the atrocities that Russian troops have committed in Ukraine, Le Pen said that NATO should seek a “strategic rapprochement” with Russia once the war is over. Such a relationship would be “in the interest of France and Europe and I think even of the United States,” she said, to stop Russia from forging a stronger alliance with world power China.
She did not directly address the horrors unfolding in Ukraine.
Le Pen was speaking at a press conference Wednesday to lay out her foreign policy plans, which include halting aid to African countries unless they take back “undesirable” migrants seeking entry to France. She also wants to slash support for international efforts to improve women’s reproductive health in poor countries, increase minority rights or solve environmental problems.
At the end of the event, protesters held up a poster showing a 2017 meeting between Le Pen and Putin. One activist was pulled out of the room. Anti-racism protesters also held a small demonstration outside.
“The election of Madame Le Pen would mean electing an admirer of Putin’s regime, an autocratic regime and an admirer of Putin’s imperialistic logic,” said Dominique Sopo, head of the group SOS Racism. “It would mean that France would become a vassal to Putin’s Russia.”

Depp’s friend expresses doubts over Heard’s allegations
By BEN FINLEY
Associated Press
A longtime friend and next-door neighbor of Johnny Depp says Amber Heard told him Depp had hit her. But Isaac Baruch testified Wednesday that he never saw evidence of abuse on Heard’s face. Baruch is the second witness called in the trial over Depp’s allegations that Heard falsely portrayed him as a domestic abuser. Depp says that an opinion piece Heard wrote for The Washington Post in 2018 indirectly defamed him. Depp denies abusing Heard. Heard’s lawyers say evidence will show that abuse occurred. They also say that Depp’s denials lack credibility because of his drug and alcohol use.

Prime
Months later, we hark back to Mutebile, Economic Tribe & Co.
What you need to know:
- For me, though, the lasting imprint of Emmanuel and the now diminished tribe of liberal economists at the Ministry of Finance is outside the corridors of government and the central bank.
It will soon be three months since the former Bank of Uganda governor Emmanuel Tumusiime-Mutebile passed on, and his replacement has not yet been named as of the time of writing this.
That might be a good sign, suggesting the search for a candidate of equal measure is far and wide, or it could be a bad sign, indicating the factions that orbit around the Ugandan Presidency are deadlocked over which of their bad candidates should take the job.
Whichever way, Tumusiime-Mutebile, who went on to become the longest-serving central bank governor in Africa, will be a tough act to follow. Emmanuel was not an easy man to like. His bluntness, brashness, and intellectual arrogance rubbed many the wrong way. He accumulated a lot of enemies along the way although, in my view, for the right reasons.
Many people disliked Tumusiime-Mutebile for the liberal economic policies he pushed starting while he was Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Finance, which they believed disadvantaged Ugandan businesses and privileged foreign ones; for championing what they alleged were World Bank/IMF policies that impoverished millions and made a few rich; and his refusal to prop up the shilling and enable Ugandan businesses to buy foreign exchange cheaply at a rigged rate. In this, he was lumped together with his successor Keith Muhakanizi, and they came bogeymen for the anti-neoliberal camp and Ugandan national capitalists. It’s a good – and even healthy - thing for people to dislike you because of your intellectual and philosophical persuasion, rather than because of your ethnicity.
If they challenge you vigorously, new and better ideas, knowledge, and understanding will sometimes emerge from the clash.
In the fury, it is important not to lose sight of what the neo-liberal cast at Finance and Bank of Uganda achieved under Tumusiime-Mutebile. While inequality has risen, it is also true that under their watch Uganda recorded one of the most dramatic drops in poverty over two decades ever posted in a developing economy. In 1993, 56.4 per cent of Ugandans were below the national poverty line, but that had decreased to 19.7 per cent by 2013. That is still high and has inched up in recent years, but it is an achievement worth the historical record.
For me, though, the lasting imprint of Emmanuel and the now diminished tribe of liberal economists at the Ministry of Finance is outside the corridors of government and the central bank.
I spoke directly and argued a lot with Emmanuel when The Monitor was still on Dewinton Road before it moved in its prosperity age to its own digs in the Industrial Area. A lot of those conversations took place outside at the entrance of our office. He would tell the receptionist to call me, and I would come down. Occasionally, Wafula Oguttu, who was less persuaded of the merits of a freewheeling economic liberalisation than I was, would pass by and they would have a good-natured squabble and tease each other. Emmanuel would tell Wafula he didn’t understand economics, and Waf would chide him as a sell-out to the World Bank.
After our chat, he would drive away, or go to Sardinia Restaurant, and Masala Delight which offered a range of South Asian dishes.
At that time Dewinton represented something important to Emmanuel. Sardinia was the longest continuously operating restaurant in Kampala and owned by bi-racial Ugandans. Many of today’s Kampalans might find it hard to comprehend, but Masala was the first such restaurant in Kampala in nearly 30 years. It was a statement of the emerging cosmopolitanism of the city, and disruption of Kampala’s culinary provincialism. And there was The Monitor, the first such independent media enterprise by Ugandans.
Dewinton embodied possibility, cosmopolitanism, and the glory of the hustle. Emmanuel would often say, pointing to the traffic along the street and cool fellows going into Masala, “look at these people. They just need the government to get out of their way and they will make themselves and this country rich.”
In short, they believed in Ugandans and their enterprise. They became the first cohort of bureaucrats to stake their careers on it. They enabled a large part of the free enterprise Uganda we see today; he, Muhakanizi, folks like Michael Opagi at Privatisation Unit, Mary Muduli in the Budget office, Emmanuel Nyirinkindi on utility sector reform, Louis Kasekende, and others.
A friend, a Ugandan journalist who works for an international media outlet, returned from South Sudan recently. She wrote me; “I went to the famous Konyokonyo Market. Virtually not a single South Sudanese in sight. All traders, boda bodas, gadi gadi men, are Ugandans. All the fruit and vegetable is Ugandan. You’d think you were in Kalerwe Market”. Tumusiime-Mutebile and his economic tribe saw, understood the spirit that drives those Ugandans in Konyokonyo, and gambled on it. It took guts.
Mr Onyango-Obbo is a journalist, writer and curator of the “Wall of Great Africans”.

Cedric McMillan, Champion Bodybuilder And Army Veteran, Dead At 44
By Jason Hall
April 13, 2022
Former Arnold Classic bodybuilding champion Cedric McMillan has died at the age of 44, his sponsor, Black Skull USA, confirmed in an Instagram post shared on Tuesday (April 12).
"We regret to inform you that our friend and brother @cedricmcmillan passed away today. Cedric will be greatly missed as an athlete, comrade, friend, and father," the supplements company wrote. "Our prayers are with all his family and friends. He 'fought the good fight' and now he rests."
The company didn't provide any additional details regarding the 44-year-old's death.
McMillan won the Arnold Classic bodybuilding competition -- held during the annual IFBB Arnold Sports Festival named after legendary bodybuilder and actor Arnold Schwarzenegger -- in 2017.
Arnold Sports issued a lengthy statement regarding McMillan's death, saluting his 20-plus years of service in the United States military, as well as his bodybuilding legacy.
"Known for his larger than life personality, his infectious smile, a gentle heart, and a sense of humor that was loved by fellow competitors and fans alike, Cedric will be deeply missed.
"While Cedric’s competitive accomplishments, which included multiple professional wins alongside his 2017 Arnold Classic title, made him a star in the world of bodybuilding and fitness, the career he was most proud of was his 20+ years of selfless service to his country in the United States Army, where he achieved the rank of Sergeant First Class in July of 2021.
"Above all, Cedric McMillan was a husband and a father, and we send our most heartfelt condolences to his family during this incredibly difficult time."
McMillan continued to serve as a member of the South Carolina National Guard until his death, a spokeswoman confirmed to CNN, noting that the military branch had been notified of his passing but declined to provide an additional comment.

SEVIER COUNTY, Tenn. — The Sevier County Emergency Management Agency said the county could have seen around $68 million in damage from wildfires in early April.
They released the preliminary damage assessment on Wednesday, showing they estimated around $65,708,200 in damage was done to livable structures. They also estimated the cost of fighting the fires took around $3.2 million from the county in public assistance.
The public assistance cost includes the cost to remove debris, take emergency measures and spend money on needed utilities. It also includes firetrucks that were destroyed by the fire but does not include how much the state of Tennessee may have spent on responding to the fires.
Sevier County will give the cost to the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency to be evaluated, starting an auditing process to ensure they are accurate. Following that process, they could be eligible to receive relief assistance funds.
They would need to reach an $11.2 million threshold in public assistance costs for assistance, and the state's expenses could push the total costs over that.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency could judge the cost of damage to livable structures differently than the estimates from Sevier County, depending on whether they were owned by residents or rented. They will make the ultimate decision on how much the county could get for homes that were damaged.
Governor Bill Lee previously said that damage from the wildfires in Sevier County would likely total in the "tens of millions of dollars," after touring the area and meeting with first responders.
County leaders estimate the Wears Valley fire burned 2,498 acres and affected 219 structures. One person was injured, but no one else was hurt. The fire began the morning of March 30 on Hatcher Mountain and was spread by gale-force winds through the night. State forestry officials said the fire was out by April 8.

Are you tempted to fudge a little bit as you fill out your income tax return? And if you did, would it be a crime? For many Americans, the answers to those questions are not as clear-cut as one might expect.
A new Harris Poll survey on the topic of taxation, in fact, shows a country mired in cynicism and mistrust, both when it comes to how taxes are collected and the government spending that tax money supports. And it raises questions about Americans’ willingness to skirt, stretch and even break tax laws.
The findings speak to a system whose very complexity breeds confusion and suspicion. It’s a mess our political leaders would be wise to clean up, not just because it would make good fiscal and economic sense, but also because it would help restore civic trust and accountability.
Since before there even was a United States, citizens here have rebelled against paying taxes. That hasn’t changed, based on a survey we conducted of more than 1,000 demographically representative adults in March. In total, 57% of U.S. adults believe they are taxed at unfairly high rates, according to our poll. That extends through every cohort — age, gender, income, education and race/ethnicity.
The only difference is in degree: A whopping 78% of men 45 to 54 years old say they’re overtaxed, the highest portion of any group. People with household incomes of $75,000 to $99,900 a year (71%) and college graduates (57%) are also extra likely to feel overtaxed.
As for what the government does with that revenue, nearly three-quarters of U.S. adults disagree with how it’s spent. This is not surprising, given the incredible array of government outlays — from health care and defense to interest on federal debt, to name a few of the biggest. Just about everyone can find something they dislike, which may deepen feelings of being overtaxed.
You can also see those feelings in who people suspect of paying too little. Half of American adults say businesses are likeliest to submit misleading tax filings. Nearly 6 in 10 also say high-income individuals are more prone to cheating than low- and middle-income earners. (The reality, per the Internal Revenue Service: Three-quarters of tax cheats are individuals — mostly middle-income — with the rest being corporations.)
Perhaps it’s no surprise, then, that many Americans occupy a moral gray area when it comes to actually paying taxes. First, they can’t agree on what actually qualifies as fraud. Nearly two-thirds of U.S. adults say that deliberately misreporting income is tax evasion. (Note to the remaining third: Lying on your taxes is, in fact, a crime). But a slight majority (52%) say there’s no difference between underreporting and using legal loopholes to lessen what one owes.
Second, among those who see no difference between taking advantage of legal loopholes and actually lying on your taxes, a majority think that exploiting loopholes is smart. And nearly half of them (48%) think that deliberately understating your income is not tax evasion (which, again, it is).
Overall, nearly 6 in 10 U.S. adults say it would be smart to use loopholes to owe less. The share increases to two-thirds among those making more than $100,000 annually and college grads. Interestingly, most millennials, those currently 26 to 41 years old, say misrepresenting personal finances to lower their tax bill isn’t criminal.
Millennials are an interesting group when it comes to taxes. Despite their reputation for progressive activism, their tax views illustrate a libertarian streak: They are the second-most likely group to believe themselves overtaxed, the biggest fans of loopholes and tax evasion, and the only generation in which a majority say they should not have to pay taxes to support resources in their community.
Every few years, a big push is made to reform the tax code — everyone seems to agree on the idea of simplifying it by getting rid of wasteful loopholes and tax breaks. But one group’s waste is another’s critical support, and somehow each reform effort seems to fiddle with marginal rates without dramatically simplifying the overall structure. The result is a thicket that fosters doubt and grievance. It’s time for politicians to give it another try and go for more holistic changes.
Meantime, when you feel that surge of bitterness over writing out another big check to the government this month, know that you’re not alone: Most Americans feel the same way.

Which fonio flour is best?
Fonio is the gluten-free super grain native to Africa that you didn’t know you needed. These cultivated grains are related to millet and are a staple of North African cuisine. They come in either white or black varieties. Fonio is prized for its deeply nutritious value and often served at celebratory events. When the whole grain is milled, the resulting flour is an excellent flour substitute for baked goods and savory dishes alike.
On its own, this “seed of the universe” has a mild nutty taste and adds a punch of nutrition to your food. Yolele Fonio Flour has a fine texture and is a great place to start exploring this versatile baking ingredient.
What to know before you buy fonio flour
Intended use
If you want to find a gluten-free flour substitute that is high in protein but works in a variety of applications, fonio is a great choice. For baked goods, make sure that the flour is light and easy to blend. This will help keep textures correct as you substitute it for traditional flours. For thickening, and for cooking that requires less finesse, a coarser blend works well.
Correct substitutions
Fonio flour is heavier than some other traditional gluten-free flour substitutes, such as rice flour or tapioca starch. It works best in place of heavier flours such as wheat or buckwheat.
Keep in mind that the final product of recipes that only use fonio flour may have a denser texture than you are used to.
Nutritional benefits
Fonio flour has a low glycemic index and works in paleo, vegan and keto diet plans. It is high in fiber and protein; this may aid in weight loss as it keeps you feeling full for a longer period of time.
What to look for in quality fonio flour
Non-GMO
The flour you buy should be made from non-GMO grains. This ensures that organic growing and harvesting practices are followed.
Finely milled
The last thing you want is a gritty texture in your exquisite baked goods. Look for flour that is finely milled to reduce grit in the final product.
No fillers
Look for an ingredient list with just one ingredient. Your flour should not include any fillers, binders or other unnecessary ingredients.
How to use fonio flour
- Origin: Seek out products sourced in Africa. Even if the grain is milled in the U.S., this is how you know the flour is authentic and of high quality.
- Measurement: Measure flour with the fluff-scoop-level technique. Use a spoon to fluff it, then scoop it into your measuring cup and use a knife to level.
- Grind it: Consider purchasing whole fonio grains and using a mortar and pestle (or heavy-duty food processor) to make your own fresh flour. This also lets you control its texture — very fine for lighter applications such as pastry, and coarse for muffins or quick bread.
- Cook it: If you want to experiment with the fonio grain itself, cook as you would rice, using a 2-to-1 ratio of water to fonio.
How much you can expect to spend on fonio flour
The harvesting process is labor-intensive, and fonio flour can be expensive. Expect to spend $10-$20 per pound.
Fonio flour FAQ
What is the difference between white and black fonio?
A. White fonio is also known as “hungry rice” across Europe. It is the most common variety found outside of Africa and is often used to efficiently feed populations at risk of starvation.
Black fonio is grown in Benin, Nigeria and Togo, and is less commonly exported to other regions. It has a nutritional profile similar to that of white fonio.
How do you use fonio flour?
A. For people who are avoiding gluten or who simply want to add more nutrition to their diet, fonio flour is a great option. The grain can be used in the same way as you would use quinoa or rice, but the flour is great for thickening soups and sauces. It’s perfect in:
- Breads
- Pancakes
- Waffles
- Muffins
- Cookies
- Cakes
- Smoothies
Substitute fonio for a heavier flour such as wheat or buckwheat when baking, or use a 1-to-1 ratio of fat to fonio flour to create a thickening roux or slurry for soups, stews and sauces.
What’s the best fonio flour to buy?
Top fonio flour
What you need to know: The mild flavor is perfect for those just starting to explore this ancient grain.
What you’ll love: It is fine-milled and has a mild, slightly sweet taste. It’s made from non-GMO fonio harvested in Africa. It has no fillers and is packed with protein, fiber and healthy amino acids. It’s vegan.
What you should consider: For gluten-free baking, adding too much fonio flour can result in very dry baked goods. Be sure to increase hydration accordingly.
Where to buy: Sold by Amazon
Top fonio flour for the money
Shipetaukin Multipurpose Fonio Flour
What you need to know: This protein-packed flour is mild and light — good for baking, especially.
What you’ll love: It’s non-GMO and free of all fillers or additional ingredients. Each quarter cup has 2 grams of protein. It is sourced in West Africa but packed in the U.S.
What you should consider: Although it is the cheapest option per pound, it’s a hefty price tag to try a new product.
Where to buy: Sold by Amazon
Worth checking out
What you need to know: Adventurous cooks will appreciate the opportunity to try three new flours at once.
What you’ll love: This bundle includes fonio flour, plus cassava and tapioca. Each is made only from their respective grains, and all are kosher, vegan and gluten-free.
What you should consider: If you just want to try fonio, pass this by. But at the price it’s a great way to expand your cooking repertoire.

True Thompson had an unforgettable fourth birthday at Disneyland with mom Khloe Kardashian, aunt Kim Kardashian, and her cousins, Dream and Chicago. The famous family spent a sunny California day at the theme park on Tuesday in honor of the little one's big day.
Khloe, 37, documented the fun outing in multiple Instagram Stories which showed True enjoying her day to the fullest. "What a wonderful birthday at Disneyland," the Good American founder captioned one video.
In the snap, Khloe revealed it was True's first visit to the park, confirming fan speculation that the toddler was previously photoshopped in pics from the theme park back in December. Later on Tuesday, Khloe responded to her slip-up, writing: "Welllppp I f*cked this one up. Anyways….. let’s focus on something else."
Throughout the day, Khloe, Kim and the kids rode rides including Dumbo and Toy Story, and enjoyed the park parade, where True and Chicago enjoyed a churro snack.
"Girl's day!" Kim exclaimed in one clip on her Instagram page, showing herself with Chi and Dream.
While the whole Kardashian crew didn't attend the celebration, many made their love for True known with sweet social media tributes.
"Happy birthday to my beautiful granddaughter True!!" Kris Jenner wrote. "You are kind, sweet, thoughtful, funny, smart, and curious… always learning and playing and joyful! You have a smile that lights up a room and you give the best hugs! Thank you for all of the love you always give all of us 💕 I love you to the moon and back precious adorable True!!!!"
True's dad, Tristan Thompson, was visibly absent from the celebration, but he shared love for his daughter on Instagram, sharing some of his favorite photos of the two.
"Happy birthday momma I love you soo Princess," he wrote alongside one video. "Can't believe my baby is 4."
In another picture with True and his son, Prince, Tristan added, "We will always protect you."
While Tristan and Khloe split last year after multiple attempts to make their relationship work despite the athlete's multiple cheating scandals, the reality star recently opened up about her feelings toward him.
"I still think he’s a great guy and a great dad," Khloe said during an interview earlier this month. "He’s just not the guy for me."

California plans to say 35% of new car sales must be EVs by 2025. Is the market ready?
More than a third of new passenger cars and trucks sold in California in 2025 would have to be zero-emission vehicles in 2025 under a new proposal from the California Air Resources Board.
To get there, electric cars would have to nearly triple last year’s market share of 13% in four years.
The 35% mandate would mark a major step toward the total ban on sales of new vehicles with internal combustion engines starting in 2035 under an order issued two years ago by Gov. Gavin Newsom. The mandate would hit 68% by 2030.
Will consumers go along? Interest in electric vehicles is on the rise, especially with gas prices that often top $6 a gallon.
But the air board, known as CARB, acknowledges that less expensive battery technology, more public charging stations, and strong marketing campaigns will be required. Or, as the board put it in a report released Wednesday, “this consumer change will require continued improvements in electric vehicle technology, owner support and conveniences, as well as successful strategies to communicate the benefits to potential buyers.”
The goal is a significant reduction in greenhouse gases and toxic pollution.
A public hearing on the proposal will be held on June 9, with a May 31 deadline for written comments.
Despite high gas prices, a vehicle shortage is putting the brakes on what should be an EV boom and pushing buyers to search for workarounds.
Will Barrett, senior director at the American Lung Assn., notes that seven of the 10 smoggiest cities in the U.S. are in California. The zero-emission mandates will improve health and save lives through dramatic reductions in respiratory and cardiac illness, he said — and will even improve worker productivity, with 2 million fewer work hours lost to illness over a 30-year period.
Barrett said the state “could go even farther” than 35%. Raising the mandate to 45%, he said, “would capture the greatest number of public health benefits.”
A total-dollar taxpayer cost on the switchover to EVs has not been put forth by CARB or by Newsom’s office. But new spending will be required. The board estimates about $2.6 billion of public funds on top of investments made by private industry will be required to build out networks of public charging stations sufficient to handle the mandated numbers of EVs.
Yet to be determined is the effect on the state’s fragile electric grid, which must be ready to handle millions of new EV passenger vehicles in addition to buses and commercial trucks, which face their own California mandates.
“The electric grid will have to expand and adapt rapidly to meet a new and more extensive demand,” CARB said. No word yet on how that will affect already-rising electric bills for residential and commercial customers.
But CARB noted that the California Public Utilities Commission has “opened a new proceeding to modernize and prepare the grid” in anticipation of demand for electric vehicles.

Woman gives birth under ‘mobile flashlight’ at Jind CHC
The medical staff at a community health centre in Alewa town in Jind district reportedly performed delivery of a woman under mobile flashlight on the intervening night of Monday and Tuesday due to a power cut.
Pegga resident Nani Devi said her daughter-in-law Krishana was taken to the health centre on Monday night as she was in labour.
“The medical staff performed the delivery under mobile flashlight as there was no power. The CHC has an inverter facility but it was discharged. We brought this issue to the attention of the district administration and they assured of ensuring power supply at the health centre,” she added.
Health centre in-charge Dr Vinod said the staff face a lot of difficulties due to power cuts.
Dr Vinod, however, claimed, “The woman was brought in at 10pm on Monday night and she delivered a baby boy at around 2am. ANM Neelam performed the delivery under inverter light. Power was affected in the ward and other areas of the health centre but it was functional in the labour room.”
He said the woman and her baby are fit and were discharged from the health centre.
A staffer of the health centre, on condition of anonymity, said the power cut lasted from 12pm to 4am and it was again curtailed from 5am to 6pm.
“The health department has submitted a file before the electricity department, urging them to connect the community health centre from the hotline but the connection is yet to be done,” the doctor said.
Residents of Jind villages alleged that they are facing 6-7 hour power cuts and are planning to launch an agitation, if the power supply is not improved.
Haryana power minister Ranjit Singh Chautala said the state has enough power to meet the demands of industries, households and irrigation.
“Power supply is affected in rural areas as wheat harvesting is on and short circuits can cause large damages to farmers’ produce,” he added.

BATAVIA, Ohio — A former Bethel-Tate High School coach was sentenced on Wednesday to 15 years in prison for sexually abusing one of his players for more than six years, according to Clermont County courts.
Initial charges were brought against him in July 2020. The former basketball, soccer and track coach was charged with 10 separate sex crimes, all of them felonies, for abusing a girl beginning when she was 12 years old and continuing past her 18th birthday, according to Clermont County Assistant Prosecutor Scott O’Reilly in 2020.
On Wednesday, a judge sentenced Wilhoff to 15 years in prison for those charges. However, he still faces additional charges related to sexual abuse of a minor; so far, two additional victims have come forward to accuse Wilhoff of abuse.
The charges involving the first individual occurred between 2002 and 2007; those involving the second individual occurred between 1994 and 1996, when Wilhoff was 15 and 17 years old, and the accuser was younger than 13 years old; and the most recent alleged incidents occurred between June 2007 and January 2008, according to court records.
Editor's note: In accordance with our mug shot policy, WCPO is using Wilhoff's mug shot because prosecutors suspect he could have additional victims.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Cleveland closer Emmanuel Clase gets a $2 million signing bonus and $1.5 million salaries this season and next as part of his $20 million, five-year contract with the Cleveland Guardians, a deal that could be worth $38 million over seven seasons.
Clase gets $2.5 million in 2024, $4.5 million in 2025 and $6 million in 2026 as part of the deal announced last Thursday.
Cleveland has a $10 million club option for 2027 with a $2 million buyout and a $10 million team option for 2028 with a $10 million buyout.
Clase would get a $1 million assignment bonus if traded.
His 2027 and 2028 salaries could increase based on performance from 2022-26: $500,000 each for 200 games or innings and 250 games or innings, and $1 million for 300 games or innings. Each of the options would increase by $500,000 each time he wins the Mariano Rivera-Trevor Hoffman reliever of the year award and by $250,000 for each second- or third-place finish for the award. He can earn a maximum of $3 million in escalators.
Clase missed the COVID-19-shortened 2020 season after being suspended for the use of the performance-enhancing drug Boldenone. But the 24-year-old closer was dominant in 71 appearances as a rookie last season, striking out 74 in just 69 2/3 innings while earning 24 saves with a paltry 1.29 ERA.
The 24-year-old right-hander was 0-1 with an 18.00 ERA in two appearances over one inning this season.

Use Venmo? Tax changes are coming
Tennessee senator aims to reverse filing requirement
WASHINGTON (Gray DC) - Filing taxes can be confusing. If you use apps like Venmo, Cash App or PayPal, it could soon get even more complicated.
Until now, Venmo users didn’t have to report income they received through the app, if it was under $20,000.
As a part of the American Rescue Plan, Congress lowered that requirement to just $600.
“I feel like that’s really the thing that’s burdensome. For many, they don’t declare their income, and now, they have to [declare],” said Michael Harlen, a touring musician, who is primarily paid through Venmo.
The new requirement didn’t add up for Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.) either.
“Think about all the small businesses, even individuals that, you know, basically have transactions back and forth. They’re now going to have to file new IRS forms,” said Hagerty.
Hagerty is now introducing the ‘SNOOP’ Act, short for Stop Nosy Obsessions with Online Payments. It would re-establish $20,000 as the minimum reporting requirement for those paid through apps.
“This is the process of trying to fix what should have never happened,” said Hagerty.
Hagerty faces an uphill battle. Right now, his bill only has support from Republicans.
The $600 threshold will go into effect for the 2023 tax season. According to Venmo’s tax experts, it only applies to earned taxable income, not reimbursements.

NEW YORK, April 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Instant Group, a global workspace innovation firm working across 175 countries and whose digital platforms constitute the world's largest digital marketplace for flexible workspace, has found Miami leading the way in flexible workspace demand while San Francisco is seeing the largest decline, in its new U.S. Market Summary analysis. Demand has dropped 24 percent since 2019 in San Francisco, whereas Miami has seen demand skyrocket 143 percent.
"As hybrid work cultures take shape and people are empowered to choose where they live and where they work, we see a real increase in demand in 'lifestyle' cities and away from California which has struggled with high taxes, high cost of living, and high office costs," said Joe Brady, CEO Americas, The Instant Group. "This migration is shaking up U.S. business hubs like New York and Chicago, as secondary cities have their moment in the sun with flex enabling companies to test out new markets for expanding talent."
Demand for Flex Across the U.S.
Long-established corporate powerhouses such as New York City and Chicago are yet to fully recover but new business hubs such as Tampa and Houston are starting to emerge and are even outpacing traditional commercial hotspots.
The increase in demand in Texas – in large part a reported result of companies leaving California – is driving increased demand for flex space across the state – Austin +26 percent, Houston +66 percent and Dallas +32% when compared to pre-pandemic levels.
Similarly, Phoenix (+71 percent), Nashville (+2 percent) and Denver (+21 percent) have all seen demand for flex flourish in response to the growing number of companies relocating or expanding into these states.
Houston is a standout as leading technology companies are relocating their offices to the city. Demand for flex workspace from tech companies has increased 167 percent, while San-Francisco has seen a 33 percent drop, as companies want to place themselves close to the leading giants in their sector. Houston has also seen some of the highest supply growth in the country since the beginning of 2020 (+6 percent), led by Common Desk who has expanded to six locations across the city.
Supply Growth and Cost-Per-Desk Across U.S. Markets
Supply growth was highly uneven across the U.S., which impacted certain cities' cost-per-desk.
By operator, Industrious accounted for the largest growth share, 15 percent of all new flex locations since early 2021. However, supply is also diversifying, with 66 percent of new supply growth outside the top four largest operators.
Methodology
Data within the report is compiled via The Instant Group's leading flexible workspace data platform Instant Insight. Rate data is based on transacted rates providing the most accurate view available within the industry, while demand data is based on inquiries coming through The Instant Group's leading digital platform Instant Offices.

Newswise — Philadelphia, April 13, 2022—Researchers at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) have shown that a targeted treatment they developed is effective at controlling blood sugar in patients with hyperinsulinism (HI), a genetic disease in which the pancreas produces too much insulin. The findings, which were published today in Diabetes Care, provide further evidence that the treatment could prevent hypoglycemia in patients with HI and may preclude the need for a full removal of their pancreas, a current standard treatment for severe diffuse HI.
“There are currently very few medical treatments for HI, and those treatments are of limited effectiveness while also associated with significant side effects,” said senior study author Diva D. De León-Crutchlow, MD, Chief of the Division of Endocrinology and Diabetes and Director of the Congenital Hyperinsulinism Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. “We are very excited about this study because by targeting the underlying pathophysiology, exendin-(9-39) offers potential therapeutic advantages over currently available therapies for HI, which could make a huge difference in the lives of the children we care for.”
Congenital HI is the most common cause of persistent hypoglycemia in infants and children. Although about half of cases have no known genetic cause, the most common and severe form of HI is caused by a mutation in genes that encode the two subunits of the beta-cell ATP-sensitive potassium channel, a form of the disease known as KATPHI. Patients with this form of the disease become hypoglycemic when fasting and also after a protein-rich meal, likely due to the glutamine in the protein stimulating the amplification of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor signaling on the beta-cell.
In prior studies, CHOP researchers have shown that administering exendin-(9-39), which blocks the GLP-1 receptor, through an intravenous infusion significantly increased fasting glucose levels in adolescents and adults with the KATPHI form of the disease. They also showed that the agent inhibits insulin secretion in models of KATPHI disease. Together, the results suggested that inhibiting GLP-1 signaling could be an effective means of controlling HI.
Given the success of prior studies, the researchers decided to test exendin-(9-39) in younger children with HI to see if the drug would have similar success in that population, not only during fasting but also after a meal. They enrolled 16 patients between the ages of 10 months and 15 years with persistent hypoglycemia due to HI, all but one of whom had genetically confirmed KATPHI; the one patient without genetic confirmation had symptoms consistent with KATPHI.
To test the effectiveness of the treatment, the researchers conducted a six-hour infusion of three different doses of exendin-(9-39) after patients had been fasting for approximately 12 hours and compared those effects with that of a control saline solution. Over the period of another two days, the researchers infused a subset of eight patients with either the highest dose of exendin-(9-39) or a saline control solution during a mixed meal tolerance test and an oral protein tolerance test.
The researchers found that exendin-(9-39) resulted in a 76% reduction in likelihood of fasting hypoglycemia in the mid-dose group and by 84% in the group receiving the highest dose. They found administering exendin-(9-39) during the protein challenge resulted in an 82% reduction in the likelihood of hypoglycemia. The mid-dose group also demonstrated a 20% increase in fasting glucose, while the higher dose resulted in a 28% increase in glucose after a meal and a 30% increase in glucose after a protein challenge. Of note, while the effect of exendin-(9-39) on fasting glucose seems to be mediated by suppression of insulin secretion, the effect on protein-induced hypoglycemia may be mediated by exendin-(9-39)-mediated increase on glucagon, suggesting the treatment might induce multiple mechanisms of blood sugar control.
“This study is further evidence supporting the use of exendin-(9-39), which has been granted breakthrough therapy designation for the treatment of HI, and we look forward to moving this therapy into a phase 3 trial,” Dr. De León-Crutchlow said.
This study was funded by grant 1R01FD004095-01A1 and by The Clifford and Katherine Goldsmith Foundation. The project described was supported by grant number UL1RR024134 from the National Center for Research Resources.

Pressure on Abbott has come even from allies of the two-term governor.
The Texas Trucking Association, which has endorsed Abbott for reelection, said that the current situation “cannot be sustained” as the delays postponed deliveries and threatened to empty store shelves.
The Mexican governors of Coahuila and Tamaulipas, which both border Texas, also sent Abbott a letter calling the inspections overzealous and said they are “creating havoc and economic pain” on both sides of the border.
Mexico's federal government has said Abbott’s order is causing “serious damage” to trade, and that cross-border traffic had plummeted to a third of normal levels. On Wednesday, White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki called Abbott's order “unnecessary and redundant."
The gridlock is the fallout of an initiative that Abbott says is needed to curb human trafficking and the flow of drugs. Abbott ordered the inspections as part of "unprecedented actions" he promised in response to the Biden administration winding down a public health law that has limited asylum-seekers in the name of preventing the spread of COVID-19.
But critics question how the inspections are meeting Abbott's objective, while business owners and experts complain of financial losses and warn U.S. grocery shoppers could notice shortages as soon as this week.
Frustration is also spreading within members of Abbott's own party: Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller, a Republican, called the inspections a “catastrophic policy” that is forcing some trucks to reroute hundreds of miles to Arizona.
“I do describe it as a crisis, because this is not the normal way of doing business,” said Hidalgo County Judge Richard Cortez, whose county includes the bridge in Pharr. “You’re talking about billions of dollars. When you stop that process, I mean, there are many, many, many, many people that are affected.”
The shutdowns and slowdowns have set off some of widest backlash to date of Abbott's multibillion-dollar border operation, which the two-term governor has made the cornerstone of his administration. Texas has thousands of state troopers and National Guard members on the border and has converted prisons into jails for migrants arrested on state trespassing charges.
The disruptions at some of the world's busiest international trade ports could pose economic and political threats to Abbott, who is seeking a third term in November. Democrat Beto O'Rourke, the former presidential candidate who is running against Abbott, said during a stop in Pharr on Tuesday that the inspections were doing nothing to halt the flow of migrants and were worsening supply chain issues.
An estimated 3,000 trucks cross the Pharr bridge on a normal day, according to the National Freight Transportation Chamber. The bridge is the largest land port for produce entering the U.S.
Mexico supplies about two-thirds of the produce sold in Texas.
The additional inspections are conducted by the Texas Department of Public Safety, which said that as of Monday, it had inspected more than 3,400 commercial vehicles and placed more than 800 “out of service” for violations that included defective brakes, tires and lighting. It made no mention of whether the inspections turned up migrants or drugs.
Jerry Pacheco, executive director of the International Business Accelerator and president of the Border Industrial Association, said the protests were costing businesses millions of dollars a day.
“It’s going to affect all of us, all of us in the United States. Your car parts are going to be delivered late, your computer — if you ordered a Dell or HP tablet, those are going to be disrupted."
Ed Anderson, a professor at the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin, compared the disruptions to those caused by February's trucker blockade in Canada that forced auto plants on both sides of the border to shut down or scale back production.
Anderson said consumers would likely begin noticing the effects before the end of this week.
“Either prices are going to spike or shelves are going to be low," he said.

LONDON (AP) — It’s a weekend warrior’s nightmare. You’re playing hoops in the driveway and go up for a lay-up. You land and hear a pop: you’ve torn your Achilles tendon. Do you have surgery or hope it heals with just a cast and rehab? New research says both options led to similar outcomes about a year later.
The Achilles tendon, which connects the muscles in the back of the calf to the heel bone, is the most commonly torn tendon in the body. Most tears are due to trauma or accident while playing sports; men are much more prone to the injury than women.
In the biggest-ever study investigating which treatment is best, scientists in Norway tracked 526 patients — mostly men with an average age of 39 — who ripped their Achilles tendon. They either had minimally invasive surgery, a standard surgery or non-surgical treatment, a brace to immobilize the affected foot and physical therapy. All patients got rehab therapy and were told to avoid risky activities for six months.
There were only slight differences in how everyone had recovered about a year later. There were more people who re-injured their Achilles tendon among those who didn’t have surgery — 6.2% versus 0.6% of those who had an operation. And there were more nerve injuries reported in those who had surgery. About 5% of those who had the minimally invasive surgery reported nerve injuries afterward, compared to 2.8% of those who had the standard surgery and 0.6% of those who skipped surgery. The study was published online Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine.
“For the average person, who is not a high-performance athlete, there is no need to have surgery,” said Dr. Matthew Costas, a professor of orthopedic trauma surgery at the University of Oxford and not part of the study. Costas said the only benefit to an operation might be to avoid the chance of a repeat injury, but said the chances of that were similar to the risk of a standard complication from surgery, like a wound infection or a bad reaction to anesthesia.
He also said surgery could be helpful in other cases, including for people who don't realize they've torn the tendon until long after the injury. In those cases, the tendon may not have been able to heal properly.
Dr. William Levine, chair of orthopedic surgery at Columbia University’s College of Physicians and Surgeons, said patients should talk through their options with their doctor to explore if surgery is appropriate.
“If you tear a tendon, there is a natural healing process in the body that occurs,” Levine explained. “But it may heal in a position that’s not ideal, and surgeons are able to fix it more precisely.”
Dr. Stale Myhrvold, the study’s lead author, said that for people to successfully skip surgery, patients need to have their affected foot in a brace early — within the first three days.
“Most acute Achilles tendon ruptures in adults can be treated non-operatively,” he said in an email. “Most of my patients choose non-operative treatments after receiving this information.”

On Friday 8 April 2022, electricity Transmission System Operators (TSOs) and Nominated Electricity Market Operators (NEMOs) from the Core region announced the postponement of the implementation of the Core flow-based market coupling project. This project is key to realise further benefits of EU electricity market integration; a process made even more important given the significant challenges currently facing European energy markets. The project (which was originally planned for completion in December 2020) has already been delayed twice. It was due to go live on 20 April 2022.
According to ACER’s information, the implementation has been prevented by three TSOs (supported by three NEMOs) expressing several concerns about the risk of insufficient cross-zonal capacities for go-live and the impact this would have on the market functioning. All other TSOs and NEMOs of the Core region, according to ACER’s information, considered that these risks were not significant enough to delay implementation.
The Core region comprises 13 Member States: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Croatia, France, Germany, Hungary, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia.
ACER acknowledges that a well-functioning electricity market is an important objective and that the risk of low cross-zonal capacities could seriously undermine it. However, ACER notes that
1) TSOs are under an obligation to offer a minimum amount of cross-zonal capacities (the so-called 70% target) and claim so far to comply with this obligation (see for example the ENTSO-E Bidding Zone Configuration Technical Report 2021); and
2) the risk of insufficient cross-zonal capacities cannot be avoided completely, as TSOs have the legally defined rights, during individual validation, to reduce cross-zonal capacity in case of operational security problems.
For these reasons, and based on the information available, ACER considers that the decision by the TSOs and NEMOs to postpone the go-live of the Core flow-based project up until now has not been properly justified.
Given the importance of this project for the EU’s electricity market integration process, ACER invites the national regulatory authorities (NRAs) of the Core region to investigate whether this failure of TSOs to adhere to the implementation deadline for now the third time constitutes a breach of their compliance obligations. ACER urges the TSOs of the Core region to minimise this delay and to implement the flow-based market coupling project as soon as possible.

5 shot, unexploded devices found at NYC train station
NEW YORK — (AP) — Five people were shot Tuesday morning at a subway station in Brooklyn, New York, law enforcement sources said.
Fire personnel responding to reports of smoke at the 36th Street station in the Sunset Park neighborhood found multiple people shot and undetonated devices, a New York City Fire Department spokesperson said.
According to multiple law enforcement sources briefed on the investigation, preliminary information indicated a suspect was wearing a construction vest and a gas mask.
A photo from the scene showed people tending to bloodied passengers lying on the floor of the station.
Further details were not immediately available.
Trains servicing that station were delayed during the morning rush hour.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ office did not immediately have more details. Adams was at the mayor’s residence Tuesday morning.

‘He should go with that banana’ – Van der Vaart tells Ten Hag to take Man Utd job… and ‘throw out’ uncooperative stars
RAFAEL VAN DER VAART has told Erik ten Hag to hurry up and take the Manchester United job.
And the 109-cap Netherlands international called on his compatriot to "throw out" any uncooperative stars at Old Trafford.
The current Ajax boss has already had an interview to succeed Ralf Rangnick in the summer.
And reports this week suggest a "verbal agreement" has been reached between Ten Hag and United.
All that remains is for the Red Devils need to negotiate a compensation package with Ajax.
And Van der Vaart urged the incoming boss to waste no time in signing the contract.
The former playmaker, who came through the youth ranks at Ajax, told Ziggo Sport: "You read reports that he is keeping Manchester United waiting.
"If Ten Hag receives such an offer, he should not even think about it and go with that banana.
"That's an impression. You have to stay a little humble.
"He is a great trainer, he did a great job at Ajax.
Most read in Sport
"But Manchester United or the big clubs, don't let them wait."
Assuming Ten Hag does take the Old Trafford gig, he will have his work cut out trying to get an underperforming squad firing.
A number of senior stars have failed to deliver this season with the likes of Marcus Rashford, Harry Maguire, Paul Pogba and Cristiano Ronaldo falling below their expected standards.
And Van de Vaart warned the high-profile players it will be Ten Hag's way or the highway.

The former Tottenham and Real Madrid man added: "As a player you no longer have any arguments. Coaches have been sent away and they have a great squad, but they play really badly.
"It's not always the coach's fault. Now there will be a trainer who will be very clear.
"You can say: Ten Hag is not the big name in England. That may also be an advantage because he is going to give his plan very clearly.
"If you don't cooperate, you will likely be thrown out."

1.6 ton of drugs seized in Peravia, ten days after seizing 1.1 in Punta Caucedo
Santo Domingo, DR
The National Drug Control Directorate (DNCD) and the Dominican Republic Navy, supported by State intelligence agencies and members of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, confiscated 1,613 packages. Presumably, cocaine (1.6 tons) in two interdiction operations was carried out in the province of Peravia.
This is the second seizure of more than one ton in ten days since on the 3rd of this month; they seized 1.1 ton in Punta Caucedo.
Regarding this operation in Peravia, the DNCD informed that one was in a wooded area of the Quijada Quieta community of the municipality of Matanzas, of the referred province, after receiving reports that several individuals were trying to move an undetermined quantity of drugs.
Upon entering the area, the DNCD agents were shot at by several unknown persons, resulting in an exchange of fire, and no one was injured so far.
In the middle of the confrontation, the authorities apprehended four men and seized 21 sacks containing 833 packages of the substance. At the same time, the tactical reaction units activated the search for other individuals who managed to escape during the scuffle.
In the joint operation, a jeep, two motorcycles, a nine-millimeter caliber pistol, a communication radio, an antenna, a GPS, a compass, and four cell phones, among other evidence, were seized.
Second operation
In a second operation, the authorities seized another 780 packages, presumably cocaine, in a maritime interdiction operation off the coast of the municipality of Bani, Peravia province.
The DNCD and the Navy, after receiving an alert that the occupants of a speedboat (Edwardian type) were trying to introduce a significant amount of drugs into Dominican territory, carried out an extensive operation several nautical miles south of the municipality mentioned above.
Hours later, the authorities intercepted the 32 feet long boat, apprehended three men (two Colombians and one Dominican), and seized 26 sacks containing 780 packages of the substance.
In this operation, two outboard motors of 90 Hp each, radio navigation equipment, three GPS, two cell phones, several bottles and tanks of fuel, and a cooler with water and foodstuffs were seized.
The Public Prosecutor’s Office and the DNCD are expanding their investigations to apprehend other members of these drug trafficking structures. At the same time, the detainees, in both cases, five Dominicans and two Colombians, will be brought to justice in the next few hours.
“The authorities have initiated an investigation to establish if the cases are related,” said the press release.
The 1,613 packages seized in the two operations are being sent under chain of custody to the National Institute of Forensic Sciences (INACIF) to determine the exact type and weight of the substance.
Damn! Everybody is aware that this powder built up the infrastructure in the Dominican Republic. Common knowledge. Go to Juan Dolio on the beachfront. What funded that grand development? With such a corrupt group at the top, it is no surprise these drug narco’s cash dumps have equaled development in these areas. If any money should ever be allocated to a country as a reward for its low drug activity, it is Haiti. If Haiti was heavily into the white powder, PAP would look like the Santo Domingo Malecon and Operation Octopus would be scripted in Creole.

Sri Lanka Default Looms as Debt Payments Halted to Save Dollars
Bloomberg News
,(Bloomberg) -- Sri Lanka has warned creditors of a possible default and suspended payments on some foreign debt, an extraordinary step taken to preserve its dwindling dollar stockpile for essential food and fuel imports.
All outstanding payments to bond holders, bilateral creditors and institutional lenders will be suspended until a debt restructure, the finance ministry said in a statement Tuesday. The newly appointed central bank governor, Nandalal Weerasinghe, said in a briefing that authorities are seeking to negotiate with creditors and warning of a possible default.
Sri Lanka’s dollar bonds due July 2022 fell 1.8 cents on the dollar on Tuesday to a record low 46.07 cents. The rupee lost 0.5%.
The announcement comes as the government of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa struggles to tamp down protests and form a majority in parliament, just as its seeking to begin bailout talks with International Monetary Fund. The government will expedite talks with the IMF, the finance ministry said Tuesday, and wants to avoid a hard default.
“The market was expecting this default to come,” said Carl Wong, head of fixed income at Avenue Asset Management, which no longer holds Sri Lankan bonds. “Now we have to see how the new government handles the onshore chaos while talking to IMF.”
The government is due to make a $36 million interest payment on a 2023 dollar bond April 18, as well as $42.2 million on a 2028 note, Bloomberg-compiled data show. A $1 billion sovereign bond was maturing July 25.
The economic crisis has evolved into a political stalemate, potentially complicating efforts to negotiate aid. Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa in a speech Monday night called on citizens to be patient as price surges and shortages worsen, while touting his family’s role in ending a decades-long civil war back in 2009. His brother, the president, has said he won’t resign under any circumstances.

Strong thunderstorms on the night of April 12 left some Kanawha residents with property damages and caused downed trees and tree limbs across town.
Weather spotters confirmed that a tornado was on the ground in the vicinity of Kanawha at about 8 p.m. For the sake of public safety and response efforts, the city of Kanawha released a statement asking residents to stay home as initial cleanup efforts began.
“North Main Street was closed off,” Hancock County emergency response coordinator Andy Buffington said. “It was impassable and power lines were down, but it was cleaned up by about midnight.”
Buffington said a tree poked a pretty good hole in a garage and that a small garage in the southwest part of Kanawha had more extensive wind damage. He said there was an unconfirmed report of a nearby farm that lost a number of outbuildings as well as some area grain bins being knocked down.
Kanawha Mayor Gloria Sobek said that three large evergreen trees were resting on one resident’s house. They were already being removed by mid-day the following day.

“In the middle of town and in the city park, trees were just plain uprooted, which was very strange,” Sobek said. “As far as huge damage, I think we came out really well. Everyone was safe and everyone’s houses came out pretty good. It was lots and lots of tree damage. We had trees down everywhere. The worst was that the power lines went down.”
Sobek said most area residents had electric service restored overnight, but some were still without power at noon on April 13 as the restoration process continued. Hundreds of customers in southern Hancock County were without electricity from the storms. A majority of those customers were in Kanawha and the immediate surrounding area. At one point, about 1,000 customers in Hancock County were without power, including many served by Prairie Energy Cooperative and Alliant Energy.
“We saw some video from just west of Kanawha of a rain-wrapped tornado,” Buffington said. “The National Weather Service out of Johnston is coming to see if it is consistent with a tornado. It seems like it is.”
Sobek noted that storm chasers ended up just north of Kanawha. Their tornado footage can be viewed online.
Buffington said all Hancock County emergency services were on high alert due to the storms. All eight of the county’s municipal fire departments helped in Kanawha as well as all the local law enforcement agencies, including the Hancock County Sheriff’s Office and three police departments. Hancock County secondary roads department was on the scene and the county’s EMS responded to numerous requests for assistance throughout Hancock County, he added.
“Nothing major was damaged or destroyed, but the good thing for us is that there were no injuries,” Buffington said. “So, we feel very fortunate. The city (of Kanawha) did a great job of communicating with the citizens, asking people to stay away from the main street area and power lines until they opened up that main route out of town.”
Mayor Sobek gave thanks for all of the cooperation of so many to help with recovery. She noted that downed trees are so large and shredders and chippers were needed. Several tree services provided assistance right away and students from the West Hancock schools were also helping with cleanup efforts. The town’s Yesway convenience store is donating pizza and pop to all responders.
“Our firemen have all been helping and we have lots of people that have come from out of town. We’re having people put (storm debris) by the edge of the street. Nieman Construction is hauling out debris to clear space. We’ve got lots and lots of people helping.”

Our Yorkshire Farm's Amanda Owen shared a distressing snapshot into life on Ravenseat as she gave her fans a glimpse into a tragedy which befell her flock today.
As little Clemmie watched on, chipping in with comments about the situation, Amanda investigated a sheep which was having trouble giving birth.
Unfortunately, it 'didn't have a happy ending' and Amanda and her daughter discovered that the newborn hadn't even made it to being born.

Amanda told her followers in the footage she shared: "This one has something not quite right. She looks like she's trying to lamb, but she hasn't produced anything yet.
"So, we're gonna have a little look aren't we Clem", as Clemmie Owen watched on.
She then has a dig around inside the sheep, telling viewers "It's a big lamb. That's why she's having a bit of trouble.
"That's one leg.." and she then proceeds to try to pull the little lamb out as Clemmie explains "There's its tongue. Alive? Alive?"
But it was not good news.
Amanda added: "Unfortunately this time we haven't had a happy ending have we Clem?
"Our yow has a dead lamb. I don't know what happened there because it wasn't hung, it was coming through correctly but just completely dead. Sometimes we've found that when we're lambing sheep, if the lamb dies during the birth process, the yow almost gives up trying to push it out.
"Anyway for whatever reason, we have a healthy yow with a dead lamb. So I'm going to take her back to the farm and give her a new lamb, so we're going to do an adoption. All right Clem? You have to make the best out of the situation."
Fans praised Amanda for refusing to pull any punches about what went on and for being real with her daughter about the circle of life on the farm.
Rab said: "Great education Amanda"
Spyder_Webb added: "It’s just nature. This ewe will now be able to give another lamb a better chance."
Chefwithaview said: "Gosh. Not an easy choice of vocation. But your children will be well equipped for life as a result. All hail clever mamma."

Why is Alec Bohm getting more standing ovations from Phillies fans than playing time?
You look around the NL East, and both the Braves and Nationals have won World Series recently behind phenoms in Ronald Acuna Jr. and Juan Soto.
There's also Vladimir Guerrero in Toronto and the much-anticipated debut of Bobby Witt Jr. in Kansas City.
And the Phillies have Alec Bohmkingerybrown.
That, of course, is Alec Bohm, the No. 3 overall pick in the 2018 draft, who came up with much fanfare in the COVID-shortened 2020 season, and hit .338 in 44 games.
EAGLES MOCK DRAFT:Trade up for a special Sauce? Is there a Miles Sanders replacement?
BIG THINGS?:Our 22 Philadelphia Phillies' predictions for the 2022 MLB season
But instead of becoming the next young MLB star, Bohm seems more destined to become the latest Phillies phenom to disappoint, joining the likes of Scott Kingery, who's in the minors and not even on the 40-man roster, and Domonic Brown from a decade ago.
Yet through six games this season, Bohm has more standing ovations (3) than home runs (0) or RBIs (1).
The source of the ovations, of course, was Bohm accepting responsibility for getting caught on camera Monday night mouthing the words, "I f---ing hate this place" after he received sarcastic cheers for making a routine play.
That came after Bohm committed three errors at third base in the first three innings.
But Bohm stood up and admitted saying it, adding that it came in a fit of frustration, that he loves the fans, and so on.
Bohm was rewarded the next night by receiving a standing ovation when he pinch hit in the eighth inning. He grounded out.
He got two more on Wednesday in the Phillies' 9-6 loss to the Mets on Wednesday.
The first came when he ran for Jean Segura in the sixth inning after Segura was hit by a pitch and left the game. The second came when he batted in the seventh and hit a sacrifice fly, cutting the Phillies' deficit to 8-5.
The ovations are all well and good, but the underlying issue is that Bohm hasn't started a game since Monday, and who knows when he next will?
Even after Segura left the game, Bohm went to first base rather than third. Bryson Stott, another young Phillies phenom, went from third to second, while Johan Camargo went from first to third.
This, as much as anything, shows how little faith the Phillies have in Bohm.
Sure, Bohm's fielding has always been an issue. But the National League allows a designated hitter this year. The problem is that the Phillies have three players who should be DHs in outfielders Kyle Schwarber and Nick Castellanos, and first baseman Rhys Hoskins, who was given the day off Wednesday.
And J.T. Realmuto can certainly serve as a DH every now and then to give him a break from catching.
Why would Bohm DH over any of those players?
And why would he play third base over Stott, the Phillies' first-round pick in 2019 (14th overall)?
Stott hit his way onto the big-league roster in spring training. He can also field his position.
There was evidence of both Wednesday.
The Phillies had Scherzer on the ropes in the first inning. The Mets' $130 million ace walked the bases loaded with one out. And yet, Segura swung at the first pitch before striking out. Then Didi Gregorius grounded out to end the inning.
You only get so many chances against Scherzer, who threw 29 pitches in the first inning. That came back to haunt the Phillies after starter Aaron Nola imploded in the fourth inning, allowing a single, double, a walk and two hit batters.
It could have been much worse if not for Seranthony Dominguez, who induced an inning-ending double play on his first pitch to escape with the Phillies down 3-0.
The Phillies then had their second chance against Scherzer, starting the bottom half by getting two men on base. Scherzer struck out the next two batters, bringing up Stott.
Stott turned around a 97 mph fastball on a 2-2 count and lined it into center field for a run-scoring single. Just like that, the Phillies were within 3-1.
It was a big-time at-bat from a player who should get plenty of them – at the expense of Bohm.
It didn't last long. Alonso continued his barrage against Phillies pitching with a three-run homer in the sixth off Connor Brogdon to give the Mets an 8-1 lead. That was Alonso's third extra-base hit of the game, with 5 total RBIs.
Stott drove in the Phillies' second run with a groundout, battling back from an 0-2 count to put the ball in play.
Sure, Phillies manager Joe Girardi has said it's his job to find playing time for both Stott and Bohm, that they're not giving up on Bohm, and so on.
But Girardi had a chance to put Bohm back at third Wednesday after Segura left, and decided to move Camargo and Stott around instead.
Hoskins will be back in the lineup Thursday when the Phillies open a four-game series in Miami against the Marlins. But if Segura is out, it's likely that Stott will stay at second. Then it will be interesting to see if Camargo or Bohm play.
It wasn't supposed to be this way.
But as Bohm struggled through 2021, he was sent down to the minors, then buried on the bench as journeyman Ronald Torreyes mostly finished out the season.
Now, Bohm is losing playing time to Stott and Camargo.
It was reminiscent of Kingery's ill-fated journey to the major leagues. He was signed to a six-year, $24 million contract before playing his first major-league game in 2018. But Kingery never lived up to the expectations, and before long, his confidence was shot.
Maybe Bohm can recover.
But it's clear that he's going to have to earn his chances with Stott the latest phenom getting the chance to play every day. It'll take more than mea culpas and standing ovations for Bohm to change that.

Lyrid meteor shower to appear over East Texas this month
TYLER, Texas (KLTV) - They are coming and there’s not one thing any of us can do about it: the Lyrid meteor shower is on its way. There is no danger from them, but you might be able to get in a lot of wishes if you’re patient.
Every year around this time the lyrids appear in the sky, and Dr. Beau Hartweg, TJC’s Director of the Earth and Space Science Center, can tell us why.
“Comets travel throughout our solar system constantly. And when they do, sometimes they’ll cross earth’s orbit. And then Earth will essentially pick them up like a vacuum cleaner, if you will, and when they do that debris that passes through the atmosphere burns up and appears like a shooting star,” Hartweg said.
So, get that wish list ready.
“They’ll start this weekend. This weekend’s probably not going to be the best time because we’re going to have a full moon. And the full moon, of course, is going to be nice and bright which makes it a little harder to see those shooting stars,” Hartweg said.
Beau says it will be easier to spot the meteors in nine days when the moon rises later. And it won’t be a constant stream of streaks in the sky like in the planetarium.
“On average you might expect to see ten to fifteen an hour. So, you might catch one every three or four minutes or so,” Hartweg said.
But, he says, sometimes a burst has been known to happen.
“If you get really lucky on a particular night, you may catch up to 100 an hour which is a little bit more than one a minute,” Hartweg said.
That does sound like a time investment. But where is that comet that gave us the show?
“It’s about a hundred times farther away from us than we are from the sun. So, it’s kind of towards the very edge of our solar system,” Hartweg said.
Beau says the comet Thatcher won’t be back by for about 300 years. But, today NASA released that the Hubble has spotted a comet that’s 80 miles across; the biggest ever discovered, and it’s headed close to Earth.
But, astronomically speaking, a billion miles away is close. It won’t get closer than say Saturn, and not until 2031.
So, while waiting for that one check out the lyrids. Everyone needs a shower at least once a year.
Dr. Hartweg says it’s called the lyrid meteor shower because it’s in the area of the constellation Lyra which is in the northeast sky. He says best viewing is after midnight April 21-23.

BERLIN (AP) — German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Wednesday criticized a diplomatic snub by Ukraine for his country’s president and defended Berlin’s record on delivering weapons to Kyiv amid tensions that have flared at a delicate moment in German policymaking on the war.
President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Germany’s largely ceremonial head of state, had hoped to travel to Ukraine on Wednesday with his Polish and Baltic counterparts. But he said Tuesday that his presence “apparently … wasn’t wanted in Kyiv.” The German newspaper Bild quoted an unidentified Ukrainian diplomat as saying that Steinmeier was not welcome at the moment, pointing to his close relations with Russia in the past.
Ukraine’s ambassador to Germany later said the government would be glad to welcome Scholz — who, unlike Steinmeier, sets government policy. But the snub to Steinmeier may make that more difficult.
“The president would have liked to go to Ukraine,” Scholz told rbb24 Inforadio, noting that Steinmeier is Germany’s head of state and was recently reelected with broad support. “So it would have been good to receive him.”
“It is, in any case, somewhat irritating, to put it politely,” Scholz added, noting that Steinmeier has strongly criticized Russia’s war and called on Russian President Vladimir Putin to withdraw his troops from Ukraine.
The flap comes amid a discussion within Scholz’s governing coalition about whether Germany should authorize sending heavy weapons such as tanks to Ukraine as that nation prepares to face a stepped-up Russian offensive in the east. Germany broke with tradition after Russia’s invasion to supply arms to Ukraine but has faced criticism from Kyiv for perceived hesitancy and slowness in providing material.
A Ukrainian presidential advisor, Oleksiy Arestovych, told Germany’s ARD television that he didn’t know the reasons for the decision to reject a Steinmeier visit but also signaled that Kyiv would like to see Scholz so that “practical decisions” could be made on matters such as weapons.
A senior lawmaker with one of Germany’s three governing parties, Wolfgang Kubicki, said he didn’t think Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was “well advised” to reject a visit by Steinmeier.
“I cannot imagine that the chancellor … will travel to a country that designates our country’s head of state as an unwanted person,” he told the German news agency dpa. Another governing party lawmaker, Juergen Trittin, told the RND newspaper group that the move was “a big propaganda success for Vladimir Putin.”
Steinmeier, who became president in 2017, served twice as ex-Chancellor Angela Merkel’s foreign minister and before that as ex-Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder’s chief of staff. During that time, Germany pursued a dialogue with Putin and cultivated close energy ties.
Last week, Steinmeier admitted mistakes in Germany’s policies toward Russia, saying that “we failed on many points.”
Asked when would go to Ukraine, Scholz said only that he had visited Kyiv shortly before the war and regularly speaks to Zelenskyy.
Scholz said “the weapons we are delivering have made a very substantial contribution” to Ukraine foiling Russia’s plans for a quick conquest. He was tight-lipped on the possibilities of a bigger German contribution, but insisted that “we are delivering, we have delivered and we will deliver.”
On Monday, Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock of the Green party said “Ukraine needs further military material, above all heavy weapons, and now is not the time for excuses — now is the time for creativity and pragmatism.”
The message appeared directed at more hesitant German politicians, particularly among Scholz’s Social Democrats.
Scholz said “we are delivering the weapons that all the others are also delivering.” He also said Germany won’t make unilateral decisions and stressed the need to prevent NATO countries from becoming a party to the war.
Germany, which has Europe’s biggest economy, also has faced criticism for opposing a quick halt to deliveries of natural gas from Russia, which accounts for about 40% of its gas supplies.

“This is it,” the former Bachelor said in an October 2021 “Almost Famous” podcast episode after twins Senna and Lux joined his and Lauren Burnham‘s eldest daughter, Alessi. “I think we’re so happy because we have our boy, we have the two girls. And I’m already 40, guys. I can’t be having kids any later than this in life. I want to be, like, an active dad. So, I think three is OK.”

LONDON (AP) — It’s a weekend warrior’s nightmare. You’re playing hoops in the driveway and go up for a lay-up. You land and hear a pop: you’ve torn your Achilles tendon. Do you have surgery or hope it heals with just a cast and rehab? New research says both options led to similar outcomes about a year later.
The Achilles tendon, which connects the muscles in the back of the calf to the heel bone, is the most commonly torn tendon in the body. Most tears are due to trauma or accident while playing sports; men are much more prone to the injury than women.
In the biggest-ever study investigating which treatment is best, scientists in Norway tracked 526 patients — mostly men with an average age of 39 — who ripped their Achilles tendon. They either had minimally invasive surgery, a standard surgery or non-surgical treatment, a brace to immobilize the affected foot and physical therapy. All patients got rehab therapy and were told to avoid risky activities for six months.
There were only slight differences in how everyone had recovered about a year later. There were more people who re-injured their Achilles tendon among those who didn’t have surgery — 6.2% versus 0.6% of those who had an operation. And there were more nerve injuries reported in those who had surgery. About 5% of those who had the minimally invasive surgery reported nerve injuries afterward, compared to 2.8% of those who had the standard surgery and 0.6% of those who skipped surgery. The study was published online Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine.
“For the average person, who is not a high-performance athlete, there is no need to have surgery,” said Dr. Matthew Costa, a professor of orthopedic trauma surgery at the University of Oxford and not part of the study. Costas said the only benefit to an operation might be to avoid the chance of a repeat injury, but said the chances of that were similar to the risk of a standard complication from surgery, like a wound infection.
He also said surgery could be helpful in other cases, including for people who don’t realize they’ve torn the tendon until long after the injury. In those cases, the tendon may not have been able to heal properly.
Dr. William Levine, chair of orthopedic surgery at Columbia University’s College of Physicians and Surgeons, said patients should talk through their options with their doctor to explore if surgery is appropriate.
“If you tear a tendon, there is a natural healing process in the body that occurs,” Levine explained. “But it may heal in a position that’s not ideal, and surgeons are able to fix it more precisely.”
Dr. Stale Myhrvold, the study’s lead author, said that for people to successfully skip surgery, patients need to have their affected foot in a brace early — within the first three days.
“Most acute Achilles tendon ruptures in adults can be treated non-operatively,” he said in an email. “Most of my patients choose non-operative treatments after receiving this information.”

They say necessity is the mother of invention. Well, the pandemic gave us a whole new set of necessities to consider, so at the Mendocino County Office of Education (MCOE), we’ve been busy making changes to better meet the evolving needs of Mendocino County schools and students.
Most people don’t really understand the role of county offices of education. Basically, we are responsible for two main functions: regulatory oversight and technical assistance for local schools and districts. We also provide some direct student instruction.
Our 185 employees work with 12 public school districts serving more than 12,000 TK-12 students, plus an additional 15 charter and private schools serving 1,500 students. In addition, we offer adult training and credentialing for dental assistants, medical assistants, and phlebotomists.
To do our work as efficiently and effectively as possible, we recently developed a strategic plan to guide our organization into the future. During this process, we identified the need to restructure our organization into four main divisions: The Office of the County Superintendent, Business Services, Administrative Services, and Educational Services.
The Office of the County Superintendent
As the Mendocino County Superintendent of Schools, I am a constitutional officer of the State of California. The Office of the County Superintendent is responsible for agency-wide oversight, including County Board of Education coordination, community relations, championing the needs of Mendocino County schools at the state level, and interpreting state and local policy to ensure local schools are compliant with numerous and constantly evolving regulations.
Educational Services Division
Our Educational Services Division, led by Kim Kern, provides leadership and support to school districts to assure high-quality planning, curriculum development, instructional delivery, student assessment, academic coaching, and professional development. The departments that make up this division are Continuous Improvement, Early Learning and Care, Alternative Education, and Special Education.
This division supports many of Mendocino County’s most vulnerable students with direct services for students who experience complex disabilities, as well as adjudicated and incarcerated students served through court and community schools. Many districts find it cost-effective to partner with MCOE to help these students achieve personal and academic success.
One of the issues the pandemic highlighted is the persistent and overlapping barriers some students face when striving for academic achievement. Our rural county includes large populations of people who have been historically and structurally excluded from access to services and a wide range of educational opportunities. For example, many Native American students, students experiencing homelessness, students in foster care, students whose family income falls below federal poverty thresholds, and English language learners need extra support inside and outside of the classroom to thrive. MCOE provides leadership, resources, services, and programs to improve the educational experience and outcomes for all Mendocino County students.
Business Services Division
The Business Services Division provides fiscal support and oversight for school districts. Many of the financial services MCOE provides are required by law, including budget review and approval, attendance accounting, financial reporting, and resolution of audit findings. We also provide financial training, software, retirement reporting, and vendor payments. Finally, we offer schools cost-saving group purchasing programs and general assistance with maintenance and operations of facilities.
I’m excited to announce that we just welcomed a dynamo of a leader to serve as the Assistant Superintendent of Business Services: Merilyn Tiriboyi. Merilyn comes to us from Woodland, California, where she was the government industry accounting manager for the County of Yolo Department of Financial Services. Her goal is to ensure the agency’s fiscal solvency while “bringing joy to our work.” In our short time working together, I can tell you she is definitely succeeding on both accounts. Merilyn and the entire Business Services team provide the financial information schools need to make sound business decisions.
Administrative Services Division
Finally, our Administrative Services Division, led by Becky Jeffries, includes Human Resources, Risk Management, and Technology. This division manages employee recruitment and benefits, policy development and enforcement, American Disabilities Act compliance, emergency preparedness, technology support, and more. Becky’s goal is to assure that MCOE employees have the training and tools they need to professionally thrive and effectively support our districts and schools.
Here at MCOE, we believe our reorganization will support equitable and fiscally responsible service provision and resource management so schools can offer a wide range of educational opportunities for all Mendocino County students.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Drop boxes for depositing mail-in and absentee ballots would be banned and donations to run elections would no longer be permitted from groups outside government under bills approved Wednesday by the Pennsylvania Senate.
Senators voted 37-12, a potentially veto-proof margin, to prohibit the types of grants issued during the 2020 election. The vote against drop boxes was on party lines, 29-20. The bills were sent to the House, and Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf's spokeswoman said he opposes both measures.
Republican opponents of drop boxes said they were not expressly authorized under the 2019 law that expanded mail-in voting for use by anyone, replacing a law that had limited them to people who could claim one of a limited number of excuses.
“Drop boxes are breeding grounds for suspicious activity," said Sen. Ryan Aument, R-Lancaster. “They were never authorized by this legislative body but were instead created by the courts.”
But Democrats argued the state Supreme Court was properly interpreting the law when justices gave their blessing to drop boxes in September 2020, two months before the presidential election in which Pennsylvania voters narrowly tipped the result in favor of Joe Biden over Donald Trump.
The Legislature's own review found that drop boxes functioned properly and were secure, said Sen. Steve Santarsiero, D-Bucks.
“It worked in 2020 in one of the most heavy turnout elections in the history of the United States and in the history of Pennsylvania,” Santarsiero said. “So this is a bill, as we’ve seen from time to time in this General Assembly, that seeks to solve a problem that doesn’t exist.”
Republican opposition to drop boxes has been fueled by Trump's continued claims he lost unfairly, and by evidence that the unmonitored receptacles were sometimes used to deposit more ballots that just the voter's own.
“It is not legal for any voter to drop off more than one ballot,” said Sen. Dave Argall, R-Schuylkill. "It might be convenient, it might be, ‘Oh, I was on the way to the supermarket.’ But it is not legal.”
Sen. Lisa Boscola, D-Northampton, said it was nonsensical to think family members should not carry each other's ballots to a drop box.
“Has common sense really gone out the window in this building?" Boscola asked her colleagues.
Wolf press secretary Beth Rementer said the governor would “welcome a conversation with Republican leaders about funding an educational campaign about these requirements" that voters not drop off others' ballots.
The bill would require mail-in ballots that do not go through the mail be dropped off in person at a single central county elections office. It also would stop the counties from having more than one election office. Philadelphia has multiple elections offices.
Sen. Sharif Street, D-Philadelphia, called it “an attempt to eliminate access to voting by creating lines, by creating barriers to entry, barriers to access, and it would have a disproportionate impact on counties with larger population.”
Republican leaders said the state constitution places decisions about the time, place and manner of elections in the hands of the Legislature.
“The people's house had no say — that's wrong,” said President Pro Tempore Jake Corman, R-Centre. “And I know most people back home don't care if the Senate had its say. I do.”
Eight Democrats joined all Republicans in voting for the bill to prevent outside groups from helping counties pay the cost to administer elections.
The proposal would make it a felony to pay election costs outside federal, state and local revenues from public money, or to seek grants or donations from outside groups.
Rementer said counties need more money to run elections, calling it hypocritical to ignore those demands while cutting off access to alternative funding. She said the money was used to purchase equipment to process mail-in ballots and protective equipment for elections workers.

BLACKSBURG — Lindsey Butler needed a pep talk at the NCAA indoor track and field championships last month.
So she gave herself one.
The Virginia Tech junior had felt fine while running in the prelims of the 800 meters on March 11 in Birmingham, Alabama. But after the race, she felt pain in her right foot. She assumed it was a bad cramp. But the pain did not go away. And the final of the 800 was the very next night.
She spent the day of the final icing her foot, getting the foot massaged — and limping.
"I went into warmups saying, 'Well, it's not broken, so we've just got to push through it,’" she said last week. "But as I was progressing through the warmup and the pain was getting worse, I was really starting to talk myself out of it.
"Three minutes leading up to the gun, I kind of in my head had said, 'I'm dropping out after the first lap. I can't do this.’"
But as she approached the starting line and waited there for about 90 seconds, she decided not to give up on her title dreams.
People are also reading…
"I kind of realized on the line that I'd already talked myself out of it. I kind of snapped out of the mindset and I said, 'I'll listen to my body and if it gets worse, that's the sign. But if I can manage it, I'll be OK,’" she said.
"It was hurting the first lap. And then somehow, settling in past the first lap, it just completely went away."
She won the final with a facility-record time of 2 minutes, 1.37 seconds, becoming only the second woman in ACC history to ever win the NCAA indoor crown in the 800.
"I really hate losing," she said. "I love winning."
But the limping continued. So in late March, she had an MRI exam.
The injury turned out to be an advanced stress reaction. Her foot is now in a walking boot. The four-time All-American will miss the entire outdoor track and field season, and won't compete for the Hokies again until the fall.
"So the NCAAs was a mic drop for me [for the rest of the school year]," Butler said. "I didn't realize it at the time. It was great that I did what I did and I pushed through it.
"It makes me … appreciate [the title] more."
'Pretty devastating'
Butler is a two-time ACC champion in the 800, but she is not the only ACC champ in her family.
Her father, Bill Butler, was an All-American pole vaulter for Maryland. He won the 1984 ACC outdoor title in the pole vault.
But Lindsey never competed in the pole vault while growing up in Corning, New York.
"She could have been a really good pole vaulter," her father said.
Lindsey wanted to be different from her father, so she turned her attention to lacrosse. So although she started off as a jumper and hurdler for her high school indoor track and field team, she used to play lacrosse in the spring.
She hoped to play lacrosse for William and Mary. One night in the fall of her junior year, she awaited a call from the William and Mary coach about a preferred admissions slot at the university. The call never came. Butler said that when she called the coach the next day, she discovered the coach had called a wrong number and no one had answered. Butler said the coach then awarded the slot to someone else.
"It was pretty devastating," Butler said. "But good things fall apart so better things can happen. So I'm so grateful that it turned out the way it did."
One of the coaches on her high school track and field team promised her she could have a college track and field career instead — but as a runner, not a jumper or hurdler. So she gave up lacrosse and spent her final two years of high school running both indoor and outdoor track.
The summer after her junior year, she reached out to ACC track and field coaches. She heard back that summer from Tech cross country and distance coach Eric Johannigmeier, who thought she had potential as a middle-distance runner. Other schools contacted her in the fall of her senior year after she began shining in cross country.
Butler verbally committed to Tech that fall, reaping a partial scholarship offer. She has since been upgraded to a full grant.
'Focused individual'
The 5-foot-9, 135-pound Butler also runs cross country for Tech. Johannigmeier requires the 800 runners to moonlight in cross country to help them build endurance.
"Making people run 5K and 6K when they know their place on the track is the 800 is very character-building and it makes you really tough," said Butler, who finished 15th at the ACC cross country championships last fall. "It's just been the game changer for me."
As a freshman, Butler took fifth in the 800 at the 2020 ACC indoor championships. Butler would have competed in the distance medley relay at the 2020 NCAA indoor championships, but that meet and the entire outdoor season was canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic.
"COVID gave [her] time to look back and … think, 'Do I just want to be fifth place in the ACC or do I want to do something bigger than that?’" Butler said. "It changes the mindset where you start working harder."
As a sophomore, she won the 800 at the ACC indoor championships with a time of 2:01.96 and took fourth at the NCAA indoor championships with a time of 2:02.15.
"The 800 is a pretty good mix of speed and endurance," Johannigmeier said. "She is really naturally gifted in her speed and her endurance, so it kind of makes it a perfect fit."
Last spring, Butler took second in the 800 at the ACC outdoor championships and finished sixth at the NCAA outdoor meet.
Tech hosted the ACC indoor championships two months ago. Butler won another ACC title in the 800 with a time of 2:01.23, not only breaking her own school record but also the meet and Rector Field House records. It was the ninth-best time in collegiate history.
She also ran the anchor leg — the mile — to help Tech win gold in the distance medley relay at that meet. She helped Tech tie Duke for the ACC women's team title.
"It was a pretty awesome weekend," she said.
The NCAA meet was pretty awesome, too, especially considering her injury.
"When she was coming up to the starting line, I could tell her foot was bothering her," Butler's father said. "I put my head down and I told my wife [in the stands], 'This does not look good.’
"To pull off what she did is kind of stunning. She's tough."
Butler became the first Hokie to ever win the men's or women's 800 at the NCAA indoor or outdoor meet.
"She ran a very smart race in the final because the runner from Kennesaw State went out very, very fast, … but Lindsey kind of kept her composure and put herself in position to be able to reel her in," Tech director of track and field and cross country Dave Cianelli said. "Lindsey was able to get her with about 150 meters left."
Butler was one of two Hokies to win titles at last month's NCAAs, along with pole vaulter Rachel Baxter. Tech finished sixth in the women's team standings — its best finish ever at the NCAA indoor women's meet.
Butler loves the 800.
"It's a lot of skill," she said. "When you do the 400, you're just running as fast as you can. … In the 1,500, there's so much [tactics] that you can kind of plan through the laps. But the 800, it's tactical, but everything has to happen instantaneously. If you're on a straight and you choose not to pass somebody before going on the curve, that could be the difference in the race."
She is no slouch off the track, either. Butler, who has a 3.4 GPA, was named the ACC women's indoor track and field scholar-athlete of the year on Wednesday. She is majoring in industrial engineering; her mother used to be a mechanical engineer.
"Lindsey is a very focused individual in all aspects of her life and really wants to excel in everything she does," Cianelli said.
Even when hurt.

Data Counters Sentiment Surveys that say Spending is Weakening
NEW YORK, April 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Bank of America Institute published a new article today which provides evidence that consumers' finances, particularly of those in lower-income groups, are holding up, contrary to findings of sentiment surveys about the impact of higher prices.
Citing strong growth in credit and debit card spending – up 11% year over year in March, and continued strength into April – as well as a booming labor market and elevated cash levels in checking and savings accounts, the data shows that lower-income consumers are not reacting to this inflationary environment as adversely as one might gather from reports.
Highlights of the publication:
Aggregate Bank of America credit and debit card spending was up 15% in the first eight days of April compared to the same period in 2021.
Among cardholders with less than $50,000 in annual income, card spending per household is up 33.3% in early April compared to the same time period in 2019.
Bank of America ACH, Wire and P2P payments were up 26% in the first eight days of April year over year.
Checking and savings balances of households with less than $50,000 annual income have at least $1,500 more than they started in 2019.
"While sentiment surveys show that consumers are inclined to cut back in response to higher prices, people don't always do what they say they are doing," said David Tinsley, senior economist for the Bank of America Institute. "Leveraging the breadth and depth of our comprehensive payments and spending data from 67 million consumer and small business clients, we are able to get a richer and deeper assessment of the consumer than small-scale surveys can ever achieve. Our data does not support all the gloom."

Bill Simmons on NBA rookie: ‘F*** Jalen Green’
Famed podcaster and pop culture personality Bill Simmons lashed out at NBA rookie Jalen Green and the possibility of his being picked for the All-Rookie First team.
Green is the second-leading scorer in the NBA as a rookie, with an average of 17.3 points in a game, according to Chron.com. He also scored 30 or more points in the Houston Rockets’ last seven games – scoring 41 in the last game of the season.
For comparison’s sake, Green is right behind overall number 1 pick Cade Cunningham, who averages 17.4 points a game with the Detroit Pistons. All these numbers should point to Green being a lock-in for the rookie team.
However, there’s another name that’s been getting more love lately: New Orleans Pelicans forward Herb Jones. Jones is a second round pick, but by the attention he’s getting, there’s a good chance he could end up on the coveted team.
In a rant often laced with profanity on the Wednesday episode of The Bill Simmons Podcast, Simmons explained why he thought it should go to Jones and not Green.
F–k Jalen Green I don’t care you’re scoring 40 points and your team’s 19-60. Congratulations. Herb Jones is like guarding dudes in real games. Now, the Houston people are going to be mad at me. I’m sorry. I like winning players, I’m sorry. Jalen Green will get there, it’s just that team was 21-61 this year or whatever.
A little more than a minute later, Simmons retreated a bit, saying that he was in fact “pro-Jalen Green.”
“I just didn’t think he was one of the five best rookies, but we also had an iconic rookie class,” he said. “I think that’s one of the best rookie classes we’ve had.”
After Chron.com published Simmons’ words, he tweeted in response that the story was “ridiculous.”
“This is ridiculous. I think we were laughing during 80% of this. My point was: I’m always leaning toward a rookie like Herb Jones who was meaningfully contributing to a decent team over someone putting up stats on a bad team. Jalen is gonna be excellent.”
This isn’t the only point of controversy for Simmons regarding the podcast. Guest Kevin O’Connor, an NBA writer for The Ringer, opined that “fasting is not difficult” about Kyrie Irving playing while observing Ramadan.
One Twitter user said the podcast was “a bunch of old white men” who are “too comfortable” with each other.
“The Bill Simmons podcast is great because it’s a bunch of old white men/women who get a little too comfortable around each other in the process of recording it, so you’ll catch them saying things that only other white people hear behind closed doors. It’s white culture really.”

Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger will co-host a virtual community input session to gather feedback on a countywide racial equity strategic plan.
The forthcoming plan will guide the County’s future investments in historically underinvested communities. It will also serve as a blueprint for creating parity and equity, leveling the playing field for communities of color that have been systematically disenfranchised.
“This community input session is about getting a clear understanding of the need that exists in the Fifth District and giving a voice to the constituents that I represent,” said Supervisor Barger. “This is a key opportunity to ensure that the County’s equity investments benefit rural and dense communities alike. It provides a seat at the table for everyone to equally share their feedback on how their quality of life can be improved.”
The meeting will start April 14, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
The meeting will also be co-hosted by the County’s Anti-Racism, Diversity, and Inclusion Initiative, which is the lead entity for the plan’s development and planning process. A registration link to join the meeting is now available and can be accessed through the meeting’s outreach flyers in English and Spanish.

LONDON (AP) — British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has refused to resign after being fined for breaking his government’s pandemic lockdown rules, saying he would instead redouble his efforts to strengthen the economy and combat Russian aggression in Ukraine.
London police fined Johnson and other people Tuesday for attending a birthday party thrown for the prime minister at his Downing Street offices on June 19, 2020. The penalty made Johnson the first British prime minister ever found to have broken the law while in office.
Gatherings of more than two people were banned in Britain at the time of the birthday party to curb the spread of COVID-19.
“I understand the anger that many will feel that I, myself, fell short when it came to observing the very rules which the government I lead had introduced to protect the public. And I accept in all sincerity that people had the right to expect better,” Johnson said late Tuesday. “And now I feel an even greater sense of obligation to deliver on the priorities of the British people.”
The fine followed a police investigation and months of questions about lockdown-breaking parties at government offices, which Johnson had tried to bat away by saying there were no parties and that he believed no rules were broken.
Opposition lawmakers demanded Johnson’s resignation, arguing the fines given to him and Treasury chief Rishi Sunak were evidence of “criminality” at the heart of government. The opposition argued that the Downing Street gathering demonstrated that Johnson and his supporters believed the rules don’t apply to them.
On Wednesday, a Conservative member of the House of Lords resigned from his role as justice minister, criticizing “repeated rule-breaking and breaches of criminal law in Downing Street.”
“It is not just a question of what happened in Downing Street, or your own conduct,” David Wolfson wrote in a letter to Johnson. “It is also, and perhaps more so, the official response to what took place.”
While the “partygate” scandal poses a threat to Johnson’s government, the world has changed tremendously since the first reports of the parties surfaced late last year.
Johnson has been a leading figure in marshaling international opposition to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and Britain is facing its worst cost-of-living crisis since the 1950s. His supporters are already arguing that whatever the prime minister may have done wrong, now is not time for a leadership contest.
That his Treasury chief also received an undermining fine helps Johnson, since Sunak had been seen as the leading Conservative candidate to succeed Johnson.
But Johnson still faces the possibility of additional fines. He is reported to have attended three other gatherings that the Metropolitan Police Service is still investigating.
He will also have to answer questions about whether he knowingly misled Parliament with his previous statements about the parties, said Jill Rutter, a senior fellow at the Institute for Government in London.
“Governments have to realize that they can’t just make laws and then skirt around them and rationalize themselves that it’s all OK because they’re very important people working at the center of government,” Rutter said.

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