San Diego, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/15/2022 -- Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc is under investigation over potential securities laws violations in connection with certain financial statements.
Investors who purchased shares of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: REGN), have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation at mail@shareholdersfoundation.com or call +1(858) 779 - 1554.

Tarrytown, NY based Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. discovers, invents, develops, manufactures, and commercializes medicines for treating various diseases worldwide.
In 2020, The U.S. Attorney's office filed suit against Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc.. The complaint alleged that Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. funneled tens of millions of dollars in kickbacks through a third-party foundation to ensure that few Medicare patients paid a co-pay on Eylea and that physicians who prescribed and purchased the drug did not have to collect Medicare co-pays from their patients. Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. allegedly paid these substantial sums only after confirming that the foundation needed the money to cover co-pays only for Eylea and not for competing drugs. The company's payments would generate a handsome return on investment, or 'ROI,' in the form of Medicare payments for Eylea. Furthermore, senior company executives allegedly took extensive measures to cover up the scheme.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The case of a teenage couple killed and tossed down an abandoned mine shaft culminated in murder convictions Friday for a Utah man who prosecutors said killed the pair because he found them hanging out with his girlfriend.
Jarrod Baum, 45, faces up to life in prison after a jury found him guilty of two counts of aggravated murder, aggravated kidnapping and other counts in the 2017 slayings after a monthlong trial.
Brelynne “Breezy” Otteson, 17, and Riley Powell, 18, disappeared days after Christmas. Their bound and stabbed bodies were found months later in Utah’s west desert, 100 feet (30 meters) down an abandoned mine shaft.
Prosecutors said they died after meeting up with a friend, Morgan Lewis, on Dec. 30 at her home in Eureka, a former silver mining town. While they were there, her boyfriend, Baum, returned home. He grew angry because he had forbidden Lewis from having male friends over, and she previously dated Powell.
Lewis told police her boyfriend tied up Otteson and Powell, duct-taped their mouths and threw them in the back of Powell’s Jeep. Then he drove them, along with Henderson, to the site of an abandoned mine outside town.
There, he beat and stabbed Powell before cutting Ottenson’s throat, then tossed them down.
“He retaliated against Riley and Morgan and made her watch so she would know this is what happens when you break my rules,” said prosecutor Ryan McBride, Fox13 reported.
The couple’s family and friends searched for months before Lewis was pulled over during an unrelated traffic stop on March 25. She eventually agreed to cooperate with police.
Much of the prosecution’s case was based on her testimony, which was questioned by the defense. Attorney Dallas Young said there was a lack of DNA evidence linking the slayings to Baum
“You cannot believe (Lewis), and you cannot be convinced beyond a reasonable doubt,” he argued, according to KSL.
Prosecutors countered that Lewis and Baum had burnt and bleached important evidence, obliterating DNA.
Prosecutors originally sought the death penalty, but Utah County Attorney David Leavitt later took it off the table as he vowed to no longer pursue capital punishment. | https://www.nhregister.com/news/article/Utah-jury-delivers-guilty-verdicts-in-deaths-of-17084516.php | 2022-04-16T00:33:21Z | https://www.nhregister.com/news/article/Utah-jury-delivers-guilty-verdicts-in-deaths-of-17084516.php | false | 23 |
In college gymnastics, the ripple effect of real “air time”
By WILL GRAVES
AP Sports Writer
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Television ratings for college gymnastics have risen in lockstep with interest in the sport. The 2021 national championships drew over 800,000 viewers. The presence of reigning Olympic champion Sunisa Lee could tick viewership even higher during this year’s finals. The SEC Network made gymnastics an important part of its content when it debuted in 2014, and air time for the sport has increased steadily over the last eight years. Coaches use the TV time as a recruiting tool and athletes say the chance to have their meets televised can play a role in their decision making on where to attend school. | https://kvia.com/ap-national-sports-3/2022/04/15/in-college-gymnastics-the-ripple-effect-of-real-air-time-2/ | 2022-04-16T00:35:43Z | https://kvia.com/ap-national-sports-3/2022/04/15/in-college-gymnastics-the-ripple-effect-of-real-air-time-2/ | false | null |

DAVIS (CBS13) — As the war in Ukraine rages on, communities there are looking for international aid, and one city in particular has a special connection with the city of Davis.
English teacher Tamara Haruk hunkered down in her home in Uman, Ukraine, as she expressed gratitude for a $12,000 gift to her hometown.
READ MORE: Tuolumne River Will Rise Drastically As Water Is Released From Don Pedro Reservoir To Send Salmon Out To Sea“We are so grateful for the ordinary people. Thank you so so much,” she said.
This high school english teacher serves as a translator on a committee that unites Uman with Davis. John Chiles is the chairman.
“Davis has had a sister city program with Uman, Ukraine, since 1984-85,” Chiles said.
Ukraine has long been known as the breadbasket of Europe. So when the United States looked to match Uman with another city, Davis—with it’s agricultural ties—just made sense, especially when you look at the sunflowers grown in Yolo and Solano counties.
“All of that seed people see and drive by all ends up in Russia, Crimea and the Ukraine,” Chiles said. “We raise the seed here for them to raise the flower, and then they harvest the flower and crush it for sunflower oil.”

“I got a letter from the mayor. They wanted medical, food, ambulances, cars. They wanted vans,” Chiles said.
Chiles knew getting supplies to Ukraine would be hard, so a fundraiser for several nonprofits supporting the region was put together. While Haruk isn’t a decision-maker regarding where the money goes, she knows where it’s needed.
“Money could be spent to buy some medicine for those who need to help the army,” Haruk said. “To protect soldiers and they could be spent to help refugees because we’ve got lots of them.”
She says the financial support does so much for emotional support back home.

Puppy rescued by fire department fostered by firefighter and pit bull advocate
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KOVR) – A puppy in California is ready to play after a pretty rough day.
Sacramento fire crews rescued the little guy, covered in burned plastic and with his fur singed, during a debris fire Tuesday.
The captain on the scene knew the puppy needed a good friend, so he called Mike Thawley at Station 19.
“He said ‘Do you want him?’ and I said ‘Yes,’” Thawley said.
Thawley is fostering the pup while Front Street Animal Shelter finds him a forever home. The puppy is already making himself comfortable.
“He perked up pretty good when we gave him water, a bath, some food, started picking off some of the plastic and then yesterday personality started coming out, tail wagging, following us around chewing,” Thawley said.
This isn’t the first time Thawley has fostered a dog the fire crews had rescued. Five years ago, he took in Chunk, an abandoned pit bull found chained to a fence.
Thawley is an advocate for pit bulls. He said knew right away the dog was home. And that’s where she’s been ever since. He had documented her journey on social media.
“We had well over 30 million people following Chunk,” Thawley said. “Donations into Front Street, donations to the bully rescues, Chunk had a two-page article in Women’s World magazine and an award from PETA.”
Thawley said its a doggone shame someone would leave a puppy in such bad conditions. But he said he hopes the rescue tells a tale of how people can help other rescue and shelter animals.

NEW YORK, April 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces an investigation of potential securities claims on behalf of shareholders of Lilium N.V. f/k/a Qell Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: LILM, LILMW, QELL, QELLU, QELLW) resulting from allegations that Lilium may have issued materially misleading business information to the investing public.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Lilium securities you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. The Rosen Law Firm is preparing a class action seeking recovery of investor losses.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the prospective class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=4894 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
WHAT IS THIS ABOUT: On March 14, 2022, market analyst Iceberg Research published a short report entitled "Lilium NV - The Losing Horse in the eVTOL [electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft] Race" (the "Iceberg Report"). The Iceberg Report asserted, among other issues, that "[m]any experts have raised serious doubts about" the viability of the Company's Lilium Jet reaching its objective of "fly[ing] up to 155 miles[,]" citing "its configuration of 36 ducted fans (recently reduced to 30) that devour power during takeoff and landing (hovering), and leaves little power for actual flight." The Iceberg Report also noted that while "Lilium promises its Jet has ready access to battery cells with energy density of 320-330 Wh/kg[,]" "[o]ne of the sources it relies on to show these batteries are within reach is … a 34.8% Lilium-owned associated company whose CEO Sujeet Kumar was accused by General Motors of misrepresenting battery performance, while at his previous company Envia Systems." The Iceberg Report further "estimate[d] that Lilium has about 18 months before its cash runs dry."
On this news, Lilium's stock price fell $1.25 per share, or 33%, to close at $2.44 per share on March 14, 2022.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea on Friday celebrated the milestone birth anniversary of its late founder with a mass dance, fireworks and calls for stronger loyalty to his grandson and current leader Kim Jong Un, but there was no word on an expected military parade amid heightened tensions over its nuclear program.
The 110th birthday of Kim Il Sung comes after North Korea conducted a spate of weapons tests in recent months, including its first full-range intercontinental ballistic missile launch since 2017. Experts say North Korea aims to expand its arsenal and ramp up pressure on the United States while nuclear diplomacy is stalled.
“Let’s work harder in devotion to our respected comrade Kim Jong Un and on that path ultimately realize the dreams of our great president (Kim Il Sung) to build a powerful socialist state,” the North’s state-run website Uriminzokkiri said in a commentary.
Kim Il Sung’s birthday is the most important national holiday in North Korea, where the Kim family has ruled under a strong personality cult since the nation’s founding in 1948. Kim Jong Un became a third-generation leader after his father Kim Jong Il died in late 2011.
Kim Jong Un has pushed to advance his nuclear weapons while simultaneously reviving the economy. But a mix of pandemic border closures, U.S.-led sanctions and his own mismanagement have caused a massive economic blow in what’s become the toughest moment of his decade in power.
On Friday, residents of Pyongyang, the capital, bowed and laid bouquets of flowers near the bronze statues of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il.
State TV later showed thousands of young people — men dressed in Western-style white shirts and women in colorful traditional Korean garb — dancing in a Pyongyang plaza as fireworks launched from a nearby river bank lit up the night sky. The dancers circled a group of performers who held up yellow flowers to form the symbol of the Workers’ Party of Korea -– a hammer, brush and sickle.
North Korea often marks key state anniversaries with huge military parades featuring newly built missiles, especially during anniversaries that end in zero and five. Commercial satellites earlier indicated an apparent rehearsal for a military parade, such as people assembled in formation at the Pyongyang plaza, where such events were held in the past.
After North Korea’s ICBM test last month, South Korean and U.S. officials said Pyongyang could soon launch fresh provocations like an additional ICBM test, a rocket to put a spy satellite into orbit, or even a nuclear bomb test that would be the seventh of its kind.
South Korea’s military said recently it detected signs that North Korea is rebuilding tunnels at a nuclear testing ground that it partially dismantled before it entered now-dormant nuclear talks with the United States in 2018.
“I think they’ll carry out a nuclear test once it finishes restoring its nuclear testing facility,” said analyst Moon Seong Mook with the Seoul-based Korea Research Institute for National Strategy. “There is no reason for them to bring back its testing ground if they don’t plan to use them for a bomb test.”
Sung Kim, the top U.S. official on North Korea, is to visit South Korea next week for talks on the international community’s response to the North’s recent missile tests.
North Korea has recently resumed its trademark harsh rhetoric against its rivals. One of its international affairs commentators labeled President Joe Biden as “an old man in senility,” while Kim’s powerful sister, Kim Yo Jong, called South Korea’s defense minister “a scum-like guy” and threatened to annihilate South Korea with nuclear strikes. | https://www.localdvm.com/local-news/n-korea-marks-key-anniversary-but-no-word-on-army-parade/ | 2022-04-16T01:15:43Z | https://www.localdvm.com/local-news/n-korea-marks-key-anniversary-but-no-word-on-army-parade/ | false | 28 |
Birmingham Relax Massage employee charged with sexually abusing customers
An employee at a Birmingham massage parlor is jailed on sexual abuse charges, according to Birmingham police.
On Friday, Officer Truman Fitzgerald announced that 34-year-old Pan Xinglei, of Birmingham, has been charged with two counts of first-degree sexual abuse. Xinglei's arrest came after a sexual abuse investigation into the Relax Massage parlor on Montclair Road.
Fitzgerald said detectives with BPD's Special Victim's Section were investigating two sexual abuse claims against an employee of the parlor beginning as early as December 2021 and in 2022.
Details on the investigation cannot be released for the protection of the victims' privacy, but Fitzgerald said the victims were customers at the massage parlor when the crimes took place.
Xinglei is in the Jefferson County Jail on a $50,000 bond total. | https://www.wvtm13.com/article/irondale-relax-massage-employee-charged-sexual-abuse/39740210 | 2022-04-16T01:15:47Z | https://www.wvtm13.com/article/irondale-relax-massage-employee-charged-sexual-abuse/39740210 | false | null |
ROME (AP) — The war in Ukraine loomed over the traditional Good Friday Colosseum procession in Rome, after the Vatican’s choice of a Russian woman to share bearing the cross with a Ukrainian woman had angered Ukrainians.
In an apparent attempt to defuse the objections, when the moment arrived for the two women, who work together at a Rome hospital, to walk with the cross together, the ceremony’s participants were invited to pause in “prayerful silence” and pray in their heart for peace in the world.
The original script, written with the women’s input, had spoken of prospects for “reconciliation.” That wording had sparked protests by both the Ukrainian ambassador to the Holy See and a Kyiv archbishop.
They objected to projecting what they saw as the idea of reconciliation while Ukraine is ravaged by war unleashed by Russia.
For the first time since before the pandemic, the solemn torchlit procession returned to the ancient arena in Rome Friday night. Thousands of pilgrims and tourists held small, lit candles as Pope Francis, looking pensive and wearing a white coat against the damp night air, sat under a canopy placed on an elevated viewing point.
At each Station of the Cross, reflecting details of Jesus’ suffering and death by crucifixion, a different family walked with the cross, and meditations, written by them, were read aloud.
The women were identified only by their first names in interviews on Italian Rai state TV: Irina, a nurse from Ukraine and Albina, a Russian nursing student.
Ahead of the procession, Albina told Rai that it was important to “pray for the children who are no more, for the soldiers who lost their lives and can’t even be buried.” Irina described the sharing of the cross-carrying as a “great responsibility.”
The Vatican didn’t respond to the protests. But apparently in reaction to the flap, the original meditation to be read while they shared bearing the cross, was shortened considerably for the procession.
The meditation said that “in the face of death, silence is the most eloquent of words.” Participants were then invited to pause iand “pray for peace in the world.” The two women looked somberly into each others eyes for a long moment as they carried the cross.
Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said the text was shortened to allow people to stay in “silence and in prayer.”
Francis made no reference to the flap. Instead, at the procession’s conclusion, he prayed that God “bring adversaries to shake hands, so that they taste reciprocal forgiveness.” He also prayed that God “disarm the hand raised by brother against brother, so that where there is hatred, harmony will bloom.”
While Francis has denounced the Feb. 24 invasion and attacks on Ukraine as a “sacrilege,″ he has refrained from naming Russia as the aggressor, although his references to Russian President Vladimir Putin have been clear.
SIR, the news agency of the Italian bishops conference, said that several Ukrainian religious media refused this year to broadcast or report on the Colosseum procession in protest.
But other faithful in the world applauded the decision to pair the two women.
In Paris, hundreds of Catholics gathered for Good Friday prayers on the forecourt of Notre Dame cathedral.
Jennifer Kilgore-Caradec, who is from the United States, told The AP at Notre Dame that having the two women hold the cross together was a “very moving and meaningful symbol.” She added: “I think that real people in the real world are concerned about peace. We want peace, we don’t want war.”
The faithful were not allowed inside the Paris cathedral, since it is still under reconstruction after a 2019 blaze collapsed its spire and destroyed its roof.
In St. Peter’s Basilica, hours ahead of the Colosseum event, Francis, wearing red vestments to symbolize the blood of Jesus, limped up the central aisle for an early evening prayer service. Francis, 85, has been suffering from a knee ligament problem.
Usually at the Good Friday basilica service at the Vatican, the pontiff would prostrate himself in prayer. But this time Francis, hobbled by pain for weeks, didn’t do so.
Francis dispatched his official almsgiver, Polish Cardinal Konrad Krajewski, to Kyiv to lead a Good Friday procession in the capital city of war-ravaged Ukraine. Italian Rai state TV showed the cardinal visiting Borodyanka, where he prayed over some of the bodies and leaned over to touch one, partially covered, body.
Good Friday is one of the main days for Christians during Holy Week, which culminates in Easter, on Sunday.
In Jerusalem, where tens of thousands of faithful traditionally converge on the Old City to visit sacred sites during Holy Week, Palestinians and Israeli police clashed Friday at the Al-Aqsa mosque. The site is sacred to Jews and Muslims. This year, Ramadan coincides with Passover as well as Holy Week.
Medics in Jerusalem said more than 150 Palestinians were injured in the most serious violence at the site in nearly a year.

This story is part of the My Unsung Hero series from the Hidden Brain team about people whose kindness left a lasting impression on someone else.
When Wendy McDowell was 8 years old, she found herself all alone in one of the busiest international airports in the United States.
"You know that feeling that we've all had," she remembers, "that feeling of being a kid and looking around and every single face is a stranger's face, and just how terrifying that is?"
It was 1979, and McDowell needed to fly from Bismarck, N.D., to Burlington, Vt.
No one in her family could go with her, so her parents decided it would be safe for a 19-year-old family friend to accompany her.
When they arrived for their layover at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, they realized their connecting flight was canceled.
What the family friend did next still stuns McDowell to this day.
"She left me in the Chicago O'Hare airport as an 8-year-old with no flight, no plan, no adult in charge of me — just literally walked away," she said. "I remember just feeling so desperate."
The chaperone bought herself a ticket back home and left McDowell to fend for herself. And she felt all alone, until a woman walked over to her.
"I remember she was wearing white, and she came and she sat next to me," McDowell recalls. "And I just remember immediately feeling a sense of safety because someone was with me."
The woman could tell something was not right, and she got permission from McDowell to take over.
"And she just really gently spoke to me and asked me where I was going and where was my mother," McDowell says.
After reassuring McDowell, the woman convinced her to share her mother's phone number. And on the phone, she convinced McDowell's mother that her daughter would be safe with her. McDowell herself let her mom know she felt safe.
The woman in white was flying to Pittsburgh, but she made a detour to Burlington to drop off McDowell.
"And she said, if you trust me, I will take care of you. And she indeed — she took care of me," McDowell said.
The kindness of the stranger has left a lifelong impact on McDowell.
"The older I've gotten, the more I've been thinking about her," she said. "Just knowing that she did all of that for a stranger. Something that maybe didn't feel huge to her just completely redirected my life because I don't think I have ever been treated as badly as I was by the person who left me."
She has used that experience to teach her son about kindness.
"I want him to know that people can choose to be beautiful and helpful and provide security and that people like this are out there," she said. "So I just appreciate it more than words can really express."

White House inconsistencies may not stop Biden catching COVID
Washington: As US President Joe Biden travelled around the country this week to talk up his efforts to rebuild the economy, the elephant in the room was this: what if the 79-year-old gets COVID?
It’s been a question on the minds of many in Washington for weeks now, as more and more people in Biden’s orbit contract the virus, highlighting the often inconsistent approach the White House has taken in dealing with the latest phase of the pandemic.
Occasionally, you’ll see the president wearing his mask; sometimes he doesn’t bother. Sometimes he’ll adhere to social distancing rules; sometimes he won’t. Today he’ll appear at a packed indoor event; tomorrow it may be outside.
Biden, who is double-vaccinated and double-boosted, has so far managed to dodge the COVID-19 bullet, but many around him have not been so lucky.
His White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki tested positive last month, forcing her to miss the president’s crucial trip to Poland as the Ukraine war intensified. Psaki’s principal deputy Karine Jean-Pierre soon became infected too, after returning from that trip.
House of Representatives speaker Nancy Pelosi appeared unmasked at two crowded indoor events with the president last week before testing positive, while Vice President Kamala Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff, also tested positive, along with Attorney-General Merrick Garland and Biden’s sister Valerie Owens.
Garland, Owens and numerous other cabinet members, politicians and aides were among the 70-plus guests to contract COVID after attending Washington’s swanky Gridiron Club dinner on April 9, an annual black tie gala that had been on a two-year hiatus before returning to the spotlight – this time as a superspreader event.
What’s transpired in Washington is emblematic of the balancing act the Biden administration faces trying to navigate such an unpredictable virus while at the same time trying to live with it.
On the third year of the pandemic America is on the cusp of hitting a once unimaginable milestone: 1 million official COVID-19 deaths.
Yet about a quarter of American adults remain unvaccinated, even in the face of the new, dominant Omicron sub-variant BA2, which is said to be up to 60 per cent more transmissible than the original strain.
The ongoing threat has resulted in at least one major city, Philadelphia, bringing back indoor mask mandates as cases rise, while the country’s federal transport mandate – which was due to expire next week – has now been extended, requiring travellers to mask up in airports, planes, buses, trains and transit hubs until at least May 3.
But back at the White House, the Biden administration’s approach has been inconsistent and occasionally confusing – the very thing Democrats used to criticise Donald Trump for when he was in power.
Last week, for instance, the vice president was deemed a COVID “close contact” after her communications director, Jamal Simmons, tested positive. Under official guidelines, Harris was meant to wear a mask for 10 days after exposure.
Yet, Harris appeared maskless on the Senate floor during Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Supreme Court confirmation vote and also at the outdoor ceremony celebrating Jackson’s appointment a day later, where she shared a hug with the new justice.
Earlier, Biden hosted a packed and maskless celebration in the East Room of the White House with Barack Obama to celebrate the Affordable Care Act, where he was seen close to Pelosi. The speaker returned to the White House the next day for a bill-signing ceremony where she hovered over Biden. Within 24 hours she announced she had tested positive for COVID.
It’s little wonder Republicans are calling out Democrats for hypocrisy.
“The issue is that if they thought their policies really were necessary, that these mitigations really were effective, they would be abiding by it,” said Republican Ron DeSantis, the “freedom-loving” Florida governor whose state famously shunned masks, mandates and other official guidelines.
“They are not abiding by it because they know it’s all about politics and control.”
Biden wants to convey a sense of normalcy to fatigued Americans who are well and truly sick of the pandemic. With his approval ratings in free-fall and the midterm elections approaching, he’s also trying to reset his agenda by travelling more frequently to key battleground states. This in turn increases the risk of infection – a reality that the White House now appears to accept.
“Like anyone else, the president may at some point test positive for COVID,” Psaki said.
“What is important for the American people to know is that he has taken a range of precautions, as we all have, and his doctors are comfortable that he can continue to carry out his duties.”
There’s never a good time for the leader of the free world to risk falling ill, least of all while he’s confronting a war in Europe and a multitude of domestic challenges.
If Biden gets COVID, the immediate concern would obviously be his health given his age, but there could also be potential political implications. After all, this is a president who came to office not only promising to “defeat” the virus, but also vowing to adhere to the Centres for Disease Control guidelines often ignored by his predecessor.

Wildlife trafficking thrives on Facebook despite pledge to fight illegal trade
Facebook remains a thriving marketplace for online wildlife trafficking despite the tech giant’s pledge to help combat the illegal trade, according to a new investigation.
Tiger cubs, leopards, ocelots, African grey parrots and the world’s smallest monkey, the pygmy marmoset, were among the endangered animals that researchers from the global campaign group Avaaz found on Facebook pages and public groups.
Related: European countries dominate half of Asian shark fin trade, report reveals
Illegal wildlife trafficking is the world’s fourth largest illicit transnational activity, falling closely behind narcotics, human trafficking and counterfeits. The multibillion-dollar business is linked to a myriad of harms including animal cruelty, endangering species and ecosystems, and fueling the transmission of disease from animals to humans such as coronavirus, Ebola, dengue, anthrax and bird flu.
In 2018 Facebook, which has more than 2.9 billion monthly users, co-founded the Coalition to End Wildlife Trafficking Online with experts like WWF, which set out to cut the illegal trade by 80% by 2020.
The company says it has made progress but Wednesday’s report suggests Facebook remains a popular platform for animal traffickers.
In two days earlier this year, researchers found 129 pieces of potentially harmful content “in a matter of clicks” through the Facebook search bar including posts selling or seeking cheetahs, monkeys, lion cubs and elephant tusks – animals which are listed in the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (Cites).
This included a Facebook page called “Wildlife Trade, Pangolin Scale & Rhino Horn” calling for bidders on their animals by posting a photo of a pangolin in a cage.
“Traffickers do not shy away from listing their goods for sale in public groups, nor from including their phone numbers in their posts,” said Ruth Delbaere, senior legal campaigner at Avaaz. “On Facebook wildlife trafficking takes place in broad daylight.”
In the following weeks, Facebook made 95 wildlife-focused recommendations to the researchers through notifications and the “suggested groups” feature. Of these, 76% were posts seeking to buy or sell live animals, which were probably in violation of Facebook’s own policies.
The ease with which they were directed to these sites suggests Facebook’s algorithms do not align with its own policies or public commitment to curb the online wildlife trade, the report concludes.
“Instead of using the data to help combat wildlife trafficking, their algorithms instead help criminals grow their business,” said Gretchen Peters, executive director of the Alliance to Counter Crime Online.
Four Avaaz researchers with no background in investigating the wildlife trade, entered search terms such as “exotic pets”, “monkey for sale” and “pangolin scales” in English, Spanish and Portuguese. They looked for potentially harmful posts, which they defined as content that warrants further investigation to determine whether it constitutes illegal wildlife trafficking activity.
According to the report, Facebook appeared to remove 13% of the suspicious wildlife trafficking posts they found before the researchers reported them. After the posts were reported, Facebook had removed only 43% a week after Avaaz alerted the company using its “report post” tool.
“Not only does Facebook know that wildlife trafficking is thriving on their platform – they have known about it for years. Yet, they continue to blatantly ignore the problem – or worse – enable it, violating even their own self-professed stand against criminal activity and physical harm to animals. The findings of this investigation are duly noted,” said Raúl Grijalva, Democratic congressman and chair of the House committee on natural resources.
In 2018, Grijalva called for an investigation into the social network’s role in illegal wildlife trafficking.
In a statement, Facebook’s parent company, Meta, questioned the validity of the study’s methodology and sample size, and said the results did not reflect the work they had done to combat wildlife trafficking.
A Meta spokesperson said: “We’ve pioneered technology to help us find and remove this content; launched pop-up alerts to discourage people from participating in this trade. Between January and May 2021 in Indonesia and the Philippines alone, we removed over 1,900 Facebook Groups linked to wildlife trafficking as a result. This is an adversarial space though, and the people behind this awful activity are persistent and constantly evolving their tactics to try and evade these efforts.”
The report calls on Facebook to strengthen and enforce policies to end wildlife trafficking including restricting certain search results and changing their algorithms, as well as cooperating with law enforcement and government agencies to combat online wildlife trafficking. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2571288200659/wildlife-trafficking-thrives-on-facebook-despite-pledge-to-fight-illegal-trade | 2022-04-16T01:29:30Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2571288200659/wildlife-trafficking-thrives-on-facebook-despite-pledge-to-fight-illegal-trade | true | 2 |

SAN ANTONIO — At seven-years-old, San Antonio's Trevor Caballero has already taken on professional cornhole players in major tournaments and even defeated San Antonio Spurs' Lonnie Walker IV in a cornhole match.
Needless to say, Trevor has a bright future in the sport after going undefeated in the 2020 American Cornhole League in the novice division.
And his prowess even caught the attention of ESPN.
But how did he get his start at a young age? How does he handle the pressure of representing San Antonio at cornhole competitions?
We caught up with the young, aspiring professional cornhole player (with some help from his agent) about this and so much more even his thoughts on beating the Spurs guard and representing San Antonio.
Jeff: How did you get a start in cornhole?
Trevor: I started playing after following my dad around going to local cornhole tournaments.
When did you know you had the talent for the sport? What awards have you won?
I played in my first sanctioned cornhole tournament in February 2020 which happened to be an American Cornhole League Conference tournament. I entered the Novice division and won while going undefeated.
I created history by becoming the youngest ever to win a sanctioned cornhole tournament at the age of five.
How is it to represent San Antonio at major tournaments?
I was born and raised in San Antonio until my dad who is in the military moved our family to California and then Florida where we currently reside. San Antonio is always where I consider home and it holds a special place in my heart.
How was it to play against Lonnie Walker? Did you beat him? What did he tell you after playing against him?
Not only are the Spurs my favorite basketball team, but it was awesome to play against one of my favorite players.
I ended up winning 21-0. He told me that I was going to be a star, and to never give up. It made me feel good hearing these words from someone who I look up to.
What is next for you? How can people in San Antonio watch you compete?
I hope to become an American Cornhole League pro in the near future. In the meantime, I want to continue growing the game of cornhole and help inspire other kids to play the game. You can catch my live streams on Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram.

The Public interest and Account Committee (PIAC) has asked the Ministry of Finance to provide further and better particulars on how GH¢32.
4 million disbursement to the District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF) was utilised.
The request, which was captured in the 2021 PIAC Annual report on petroleum revenue utilisation and management, was part of recommendations made by the Committee in accordance with its mandate to ensure transparency and accountability in the disbursement of oil funds at the sub-national level.
The report noted that it was the first time since Ghana started receiving petroleum revenue in 2011 that the DACF received an amount of GH¢32.4 million though there was no report on the utilisation of the amount.
Disbursement was made in fulfilment of a Supreme Court of Ghana decision in the case of Kpodo and Another v. Attorney-General in 2019, which asked that five per cent of the Annual Budget Funding Amount (ABFA) be allocated and disbursed to the DACF.
The ABFA is the account set up by the government to receive not more than 70 per cent allocation from oil and gas revenue in support of government budgets on current and recurrent expenditure as well as PIAC funding.
DACF, as the latest recipient of the ABFA, was expected to receive the five per cent, amounting to GH¢129.26 million.
However, only 25.05 per cent of the amount which translates to 1.74 per cent of the ABFA was disbursed in 2021, contrary to the percentage specified by the Supreme Court, the report revealed.
PIAC has, therefore, emphasised the need for the decision of the Court to find expression in the Public Revenue Management Act (PRMA) which is under review as is the case with the ABFA and Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund.
“PIAC recommends strict compliance with the 2019 judgement of the Supreme Court in the case of Kpodo vs The Attorney-General,” PAIC said in a statement released on Wednesday.
It also urged the Ministry of Finance to collaborate with relevant institutions to develop appropriate guidelines on the utilisation and reporting of ABFA disbursed to the DACF. | https://mobile.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/PIAC-demands-breakdown-of-petroleum-revenue-disbursement-to-Common-Fund-1516697 | 2022-04-16T01:40:04Z | https://mobile.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/PIAC-demands-breakdown-of-petroleum-revenue-disbursement-to-Common-Fund-1516697 | false | 6 |

Costa Mesa police arrested 39-year-old youth soccer coach Joshua Clever Thursday on suspicion of child molestation and possession of child sexual abuse material. As the investigation continues into Clever's history, detectives are seeking potential additional victims and ask for the public's assistance in identifying them.
This comes after police initially took Clever into custody on April 7 on accusations of child molestation and lewd acts on a minor.
As reported by the parents of a 14-year-old victim, a soccer player, Clever was accused of grooming the young girl for six months and then raping her.
Clever posted his $100,000 bail for the April 7 arrest, though, leaving custody before detectives alleged they discovered images of child sexual abuse material on his cellphone.
This resulted in the latest booking which added a charge for possession of the images. He was found in the 3200 block of Susan Street in Santa Ana.
Costa Mesa Police Department detectives are working to identify young girls seen in the images.
Anyone who thinks they may be a victim or may have information is encouraged to contact CMPD Detective Alicia Defuria at 714-754-5364 or adefuria@costamesaca.gov. The public can also contact CMPD Sergeant Jose Morales at 714-754-4933. | https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/costa-mesa-soccer-coach-joshua-clever-arrested-child-molestation-charges/2871004/ | 2022-04-16T01:52:45Z | https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/costa-mesa-soccer-coach-joshua-clever-arrested-child-molestation-charges/2871004/ | false | 2 |
BOSTON (AP) — Twins star Byron Buxton left Minnesota’s 8-4 win over the Boston Red Sox on Friday with a right knee injury and will get an MRI.
The Platinum Glove-winning center fielder slid late into second base for a double after Boston misplayed his popup in the first inning. His left leg appeared to get caught underneath him while his right foot slammed into the bag.
He slammed a hand into the dirt and was immediately pulled. He walked off under his own power.
“Obviously, he was feeling some real discomfort,” Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said. “He plays through a lot. He’s a tough guy and he always wants to be on the field. I think in this instance, he knew it was something he was not going to be able to play today with.”
The 28-year-old has been among the game’s best players in recent years when healthy — and unfortunately for the Twins, that’s rarely been the case. He batted .306 with 19 home runs in 61 games in 2021 but was limited by a broken hand and a right hip strain.
Buxton signed a $100 million, seven-year deal to remain a Twin long-term over the winter. He was off to another powerful start this season, slugging three homers over seven games.
Buxton has also had shoulder, groin, toe, migraine and wrist issues that have contributed to him playing at least 100 games just once in eight big league seasons.

The three Abrahamic faiths — Christianity, Judaism, and Islam — not only align on the calendar this year, but religious leaders say though they are different, there are commonalities.
"It's great when all the religions can come together, each in their own belief, but to promote peace in the world," Monsignor Chuck Kosanke of Most Holy Trinity Church in Detroit said.
Friday afternoon, Catholics took part in a Good Friday service at Most Holy Trinity Church. A series of traditions took place recognizing Jesus' crucifixion ahead of Easter Sunday, which is the day Christians observe his resurrection.
It's a busy weekend and month of religious observances, alongside Jews and Muslims who are recognizing Passover, which starts Friday and the holy month of Ramadan, respectively.
"Certainly Passover, which is the holiday of freedom, is about human dignity and it's a faith in God, that God believes all of us are dignified and deserve our freedom," Rabbi Asher Lopatin, executive director of the Jewish Community Relations Council explained.
"I think Ramadan is also, it's different, it's a holiday of introspection. It's a holiday of holiness, but it's also a holiday — a month long holiday that Muslims feel enable them to be better people," Lopatin said.
Prayer, fasting and reflection are part of the focus during Ramadan.
Imam Sayed Muhammad Qazwini of the Islamic Institute of America said, "Islam is a continuation of Christianity and Christianity, the way we see it, was the continuation of Judaism. We recognize those previous religions and scriptures."
"So, when you have a moment like this when all these three religions are celebrating a religious event, this should remind us how much common we have we with each other. Many times, we tend to focus on the differences. Ya know, they're different from me," he explained.
Qazwini said when people see others as different, they sometimes dehumanize them, failing to see shared human values.
Kosanke said, "All of us believe that God created us to find our fulfillment in him however we believe that. That it's not just being a good person, which is wonderful, but it's being more than a good person. It's really that interior spiritual relationship with God." | https://www.tv20detroit.com/news/passover-easter-ramadan-celebrating-faith-through-commonalities | 2022-04-16T01:59:02Z | https://www.tv20detroit.com/news/passover-easter-ramadan-celebrating-faith-through-commonalities | false | 2 |

China's economic growth under threat as virus takes hold
Issued on:
Beijing (AFP) – The mounting cost of China's zero-Covid policy threatens to derail Beijing's ambitious GDP target, analysts say, as supply chains snarl, ports face delays and Shanghai remains mired in lockdown.
Growth in the world's second-largest economy was already slowing in the latter half of last year with a property market slump and regulatory crackdowns, leading policymakers to set their lowest annual GDP target in decades for 2022.
But analysts told AFP the figure of 5.5 percent would be tough to achieve with stay-at-home orders halting production and stunting consumer spending in key cities.
Experts from 12 financial institutions polled by AFP forecast GDP growth of 5.0 percent for the full year.
They expect a figure of 4.3 percent for the first quarter, just above the 4.0 percent recorded in the three months prior.
Official first-quarter data will be published Monday.
"China's economy saw a good start in January and February with less energy constraints, domestic demand recovery... fiscal stimulus, and resilient exports," said Gene Ma, head of China research at the Institute of International Finance.
But surging virus cases in March and lockdowns have "severely disrupted supply chains and industrial activities", he added.
The analysts predicted the coronavirus outbreak would reverse the gains made earlier in the year.
Carmakers this week warned of severe disruption to supply chains and possibly even halting production completely if a lockdown in business hub Shanghai continues.
Premier Li Keqiang said this week that state support should be stepped up and tools including cuts to the reserve requirement ratio for banks could be tapped to help virus-hit sectors.
Other major cities struck by Covid outbreaks include southern tech powerhouse Shenzhen, which went into full lockdown for almost a week in March.
"The hit to retail sales could be even bigger, as dining-out services -- around 10 percent of retail sales -- were temporarily suspended in a few provinces," Goldman Sachs said in a recent report.
But economists expect bigger consequences of the lockdowns to surface in April data and bog down growth.
'Lesson'
With infections found in dozens of cities, Beijing has dug in its heels on the zero-Covid approach, which involves stamping out clusters as they emerge while conducting mass testing and isolating positive cases.
This has resulted in strict movement curbs in Shanghai for around two weeks now as the financial hub logs tens of thousands of cases daily -- most asymptomatic.
The city is home to the world's busiest container port and while operations are running, intercity travel restrictions and a shortage of truck drivers have snarled the passage of goods.
The daily flow of freight vehicles along highways has "weakened sharply" since the start of April, Capital Economics senior China economist Julian Evans-Pritchard said in a recent report.
Shanghai authorities have come under fire for allowing cases to spike and for failing to ensure supplies of fresh food reach all residents.
"Shanghai is a lesson, and local governments from other parts of China may become more sensitive to domestic flare-ups," said Tommy Xie, head of Greater China research at OCBC Bank.
"If they want to lock down, they will try to lock down earlier rather than later," he told AFP.
More short-term disruptions from Covid will likely arise, he added.
Controls in other coastal cities will also remain tight, said Dan Wang, chief economist at Hang Seng Bank China.
"It is not impossible for us to see maybe dozens or even more than 30 cities on lockdown at the same time," she said.
"The economic cost is very high."

Yellen says not impossible for Fed to engineer soft landing for U.S. economy
U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Wednesday said the Federal Reserve would need luck and skill to maintain a strong labor market while bringing inflation down, or in economists terms to engineer a “soft landing.”
“It has been done in the past. It’s not an impossible combination,” Yellen said, during a talk at the Atlantic Council.
Yellen said she was more worried about the prospects of a recession in Europe given the impact of the war in Ukraine.
In her prepared remarks, Yellen warned countries “sitting on the fence” on Russia not to undermine the sanctions the West has put in place.
“While many countries have taken a unified stand against Russia’s actions and many countries have quickly and voluntarily severed business relationships with Russia, some countries and companies have not,” Yellen said, in remarks prepared for delivery to the Atlantic Council.
“Let me now say a few words to those countries who are currently sitting on the fence, perhaps seeing an opportunity to gain by preserving their relationship with Russia and backfilling the void left by others. Such motivations are short-sighted,” she said.
“The unified coalition of sanctioning countries will not be indifferent to actions that undermine the sanctions we’ve put in place,” Yellen said.
The West has put in place unprecedented financial sanctions against Russia and its central bank designed to isolate the country from the international community.
“The Kremlin will be forced to choose between propping up the economy and funding the continuation of Putin’s brutal war,” Yellen said.
She said that she hoped China would use its special relationship with Russia “to help end this war.”
“The world’s attitude towards China and its willingness to embrace further economic integration may well be affected by China’s reaction to our call for resolute action on Russia,” she said.
Yellen said she didn’t think the sanctions placed on Russia would undermine the dollar’s status as the key global currency.
“It will be a long time — if ever — before the dollar is replaced as a key reserve currency in the global economy,” she said.
The Treasury Secretary also announced she will convene a conference next week looking at ways to ease the food shortages that are a spillover of the war in Ukraine.
The heads of the IMF, World Bank, United Nations World Food Program and the World Trade Organization on Wednesday called for urgent actions on food security.
Over 275 million people face acute food insecurity in the world, and many poor populations spend a large share of their income on food, she noted. Countries in the Middle East and Africa have been dependent on imports of Ukrainian and Russian wheat. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2571491294396/yellen-says-not-impossible-for-fed-to-engineer-soft-landing-for-u-s-economy | 2022-04-16T02:29:47Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2571491294396/yellen-says-not-impossible-for-fed-to-engineer-soft-landing-for-u-s-economy | false | 1 |
E-cigs using synthetic nicotine come under FDA oversight
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. regulators will soon begin cracking down on vaping companies using a now-closed loophole, including a line of fruit-flavored e-cigarettes that have become teenagers’ top choice.
Under a law taking effect Thursday, the Food and Drug Administration can regulate e-cigarettes and similar products that use synthetic nicotine.
The action targets Puff Bar and several other vaping companies that recently switched their formulas to laboratory-made nicotine to skirt FDA oversight.
The change “allows FDA to protect the public health from the harms of tobacco products, regardless of the source of nicotine,” the agency said in a statement Wednesday. Companies must register with the FDA and submit their products for review within 30 days.
Puff Bar did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday.
The FDA’s action does not automatically ban Puff Bar and similar products. Instead it brings them under the same regulatory scheme as older e-cigarettes that derived their nicotine from tobacco.
“The synthetic nicotine products do not necessarily just disappear on their own,” Robin Koval, chief executive of the Truth Initiative, an advocacy group that runs anti-tobacco ads. “The FDA will have to decide how they want to enforce the law and hopefully they will.”
The FDA has been reviewing applications for an array of vaping devices, formulas and flavors — rejecting more than 1 million, usually because of their potential appeal to youngsters. Anti-tobacco advocates hope the agency will quickly do the same for any applications submitted by Puff Bar and other manufacturers.
Nicotine, the chemical the makes smoking and vaping addictive, occurs naturally in tobacco plants.
The 2009 law that first gave the FDA oversight of cigarettes and related products only referred to tobacco-based nicotine. That left an opening for artificial nicotine, which is being used in e-cigarette liquids, nicotine pouches and other products.
Last month, Congress passed language clarifying that the FDA can regulate any form of nicotine, regardless of the source.
After appearing in 2019, Puff Bar has grown to become the most popular e-cigarette among teenagers, by far, sold in flavors like blueberry, strawberry banana and mango. Under FDA pressure, the company said it was halting sales in 2020, pulling its disposable vaping devices out of convenience stores, gas stations and vape shops.
Last February, the company announced a “fresh launch” of its colorful devices using synthetic nicotine. In marketing language, the company said its products “do not contain tobacco or anything derived from tobacco.” That put Puff Bar in a legal gray area, because federal, state and local restrictions nearly always apply to tobacco-based products, not nicotine itself.
Stanford researchers last year found synthetic nicotine products for sale via online platforms that prohibit tobacco sales, such as Amazon, eBay and Target. Under the new law, synthetic nicotine will be subject to the same federal age limit and sales restrictions as other tobacco products.
Using synthetic nicotine is not a new idea. Tobacco companies experimented with chemically derived nicotine as early as the 1960s, but deemed it too expensive for mass production. Manufacturing advances in recent years finally made it a viable alternative to tobacco-derived nicotine.
A large government survey last year showed Puff Bar had leapfrogged over better-known brands to become the top choice among high schoolers who vape. Juul — which is widely blamed for initially sparking the teen vaping trend — was the fourth most popular brand.
In 2020, the FDA restricted flavors in cartridge-based e-cigarettes like Juul to just menthol and tobacco, which are generally preferred by adults. But the flavor ban didn’t apply to disposable e-cigarettes like Puff Bar and other types of vaping devices.
Anti-tobacco groups worry that the FDA is always one or two steps behind whichever products are making inroads among kids.
“The lesson we can all take away from this is that when the FDA’s actions are incomplete and happen after the fact — which has often been the case with e-cigarettes — you will always be playing whack-a-mole and catch-up,” said Koval.

BEIJING (AP) — Three Chinese astronauts returned to Earth on Saturday after six months aboard their country's newest orbital station in the longest crewed mission to date for China's ambitious space program.
The Shenzhou 13 space capsule landed in the Gobi desert in the northern region of Inner Mongolia, shown live on state TV.
During the mission, astronaut Wang Yaping carried out the first spacewalk by a Chinese woman. Wang and crewmates Zhai Zhigang and Ye Guangfu beamed back physics lessons for high school students.
China launched its first astronaut into space in 2003 and landed robot rovers on the moon in 2013 and on Mars last year. Officials have discussed a possible crewed mission to the moon.
On Saturday, state TV showed images from inside the capsule as it traveled at 200 meters per second over Africa before entering the atmosphere.
The trio were the second crew aboard Tiangong, or Heavenly Palace. Its core module, Tianhe, was launched in April 2021. Plans call for completing construction this year by adding two more modules.
Authorities have yet to announce a date for launching the next Tiangong crew.
China is excluded from the International Space Station due to U.S. unease that its space program is run by the ruling Communist Party’s military wing, the People’s Liberation Army.
China was the third nation to launch an astronaut into space on its own after the former Soviet Union and the United States.
Tiangong is China’s third space station following predecessors launched in 2011 and 2016.
The government announced in 2020 that China's first reusable spacecraft had landed following a test flight but no photos or details of the vehicle have been released.
On Tuesday, President Xi Jinping visited the launch site in Wenchang on the southern island of Hainan from which the Tianhe module was fired into orbit.
“Persist in pursuing the frontiers of world aerospace development and the major strategic needs of national aerospace,” Xi told staff at the site, all of them in military uniform. | https://www.theintelligencer.com/news/article/Chinese-astronauts-land-after-6-months-on-space-17084762.php | 2022-04-16T02:37:15Z | https://www.theintelligencer.com/news/article/Chinese-astronauts-land-after-6-months-on-space-17084762.php | true | 23 |

Verizon stores in Washington state vote to join union
EVERETT, Wash. (AP) — Employees at two Verizon stores north of Seattle in Everett and Lynnwood have won their union election, making them the first unionized Verizon stores in the country outside of New York. The Daily Herald reports the near-unanimous victory Friday represents the latest in a growing labor movement that includes the unionization of Starbucks stores and an Amazon warehouse. The victory earns workers the right to bargain with Verizon over pay and working conditions. Austin Hitch, a Verizon employee and organizer in the union campaign, said employees want cost-of-living raises and more control of their schedules. Verizon did not respond to messages from the newspaper seeking comment. | https://keyt.com/news/money-and-business/ap-national-business/2022/04/15/verizon-stores-in-washington-state-vote-to-join-union/ | 2022-04-16T02:39:34Z | https://keyt.com/news/money-and-business/ap-national-business/2022/04/15/verizon-stores-in-washington-state-vote-to-join-union/ | false | null |

New details revealed in shooting at candidate's headquarters
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — The man accused of shooting at a Louisville mayoral candidate had visited the politician’s home the day before the attack, but left after the gun he brought with him jammed, according to new details alleged by federal prosecutors during a hearing Friday.
Quintez Brown, 22, wanted to kill Craig Greenberg to prevent him from winning the upcoming mayoral election, prosecutors argued, citing Brown’s internet search history, text messages, and online posts around the time of the February shooting.
The day before, Brown took a Lyft ride to the candidate's home and, minutes later, searched the internet for instructions on how to fix a gun loaded with a backwards bullet, prosecutors said. He then left.
Magistrate Judge Colin Lindsay on Friday granted Brown’s release to home incarceration, but the suspect remains in federal custody because the judge also granted a request from federal prosecutors to pause the release while they file an appeal.
In arguing against Brown’s pretrial release, prosecutors asserted that Brown was “erratic, unpredictable, and likely to disappear,” and warned that he could attempt another shooting.
Greenberg, a Democrat, said he was at his campaign headquarters Feb. 14 with four colleagues when a man appeared in the doorway and began firing multiple rounds. One staffer managed to shut the door, which they barricaded using tables and desks, and the shooter fled.
Greenberg was not hit by the gunfire, but said a bullet grazed his sweater.
Brown, a social justice activist who was running as an independent for Louisville’s metro council, was arrested shortly after.
The morning of the shooting, prosecutors said that Brown purchased another gun at a local pawn shop. He then took a Lyft ride to Greenberg's campaign’s office, where the attack occurred.
Last week, a federal grand jury indicted Brown on charges of “interfering with a federally protected right, and using and discharging a firearm in relation to a crime of violence by shooting at and attempting to kill a candidate for elective office.”
If convicted of all federal charges, Brown faces a mandatory minimum of 10 years in prison and maximum sentence of life in prison in addition to any sentence he receives on state charges of attempted murder and wanton endangerment. He has pleaded not guilty in state court.
Brown's attorneys said they acknowledged the serious nature of the allegations, but insisted that Brown be released, saying incarceration would have a detrimental impact on Brown's mental health and wellbeing.
They argued that if Brown is allowed to be on home incarceration, he would have consistent access to mental health resources and the support of his family and would not be a danger to the community. They also said that before his arrest last week, Brown had been on home incarceration for weeks without any issues.
Days after the shooting, Brown had been placed on home incarceration and fitted with a GPS ankle monitor after a group called the Louisville Community Bail Fund paid the $100,000 cash bond.
The earlier decision to place him on home incarceration drew bipartisan criticism, including from Greenberg, who said it was "nearly impossible to believe that someone can attempt murder on Monday and walk out of jail on Wednesday.”
A few of Brown's professors and supervisors from the University of Louisville testified in support of his release Friday. Dr. Ricky Jones, a professor of Pan-African Studies at the University of Louisville, said that Brown was a“star of the university” and a talented writer.
Brown, a former intern and editorial columnist for the Courier Journal, had been prolific on social media before the shooting, especially when it came to social justice issues. He was also involved in community violence prevention efforts and was a Martin Luther King Scholar at the University of Louisville, which included a full-ride scholarship.
Brown disappeared for about two weeks last summer. After he was found safe, his parents issued a statement asking for patience and privacy while they attended to his “physical, mental and spiritual needs.”
“He was one of the most brilliant kids I've ever met," Jones said, describing Brown as very respectful, analytical, and well-liked. Jones also noted that he would even let Brown live with him if that was what the court wanted.
At one point during his testimony, Jones’ voice started to shake and he became emotional. Several people sitting in the pews in the back of courtroom also began to cry.
“I really wonder what happened to him,” he said.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The major leagues celebrated the 75th anniversary of the day Jackie Robinson broke the major league color barrier with an appreciation of his trailblazing life and an evaluation of how much farther the sport still must go.
Every player, coach and umpire on Friday wore Robinson’s No. 42, as they have since 2009 on April 15 — now known as Jackie Robinson Day.
But for the first time, everyone wore the numerals in the famed Dodger blue to highlight this milestone anniversary of the day Robinson first took the field with the Dodgers at Brooklyn's Ebbets Field in 1947.
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts believes the day is an important vehicle to raise awareness and to continue to shape attitudes in the sport and beyond.
“Jackie was all about looking out and looking forward,” said Roberts, who became the second Black manager to win the World Series in 2020. “So to appreciate how far we’ve come is certainly fair, but more important is where we need to go. That’s what pushes and challenges all of us to keep getting better and to make change. ... What Jackie did was incredible, but we’ve got to keep going.”
Four hours before the Dodgers’ game against Cincinnati, Roberts led his players out to the park behind the outfield bleachers at Dodger Stadium to the plaza where a statue of Robinson has stood since 2017. The Dodgers gathered around and listened to remarks from Robinson’s son, David.
“Baseball, it’s bigger than us individually,” Roberts said. “So we all have a platform, an opportunity, a responsibility, as David said today, which is great.”
April 15 has become a day to reflect on Robinson’s legacy across the sport. Roberts and his fellow baseball leaders use Jackie Robinson Day to spotlight the perpetual fight toward equality for all races while embracing the sport's importance in driving social change.
“It seems to get bigger and bigger as we go along, and rightly so,” San Diego manager Bob Melvin said. “The ultimate trailblazer in this game, and everybody’s proud to wear that number beyond belief now. I think it educates people the more we do this, every year, understanding of what he went through and what he’s meant to this game. This has become one of the real, real special days in the course of the baseball season.”
The day is particularly special at Dodger Stadium, where Robinson's memory never fades. Robinson grew up in Pasadena, 10 miles from the site of the Dodgers' future home , and the park is festooned with his image and iconography.
“Growing up in the Dodgers organization, we made sure we knew what he means," said Red Sox manager Alex Cora, who spent his first seven seasons with the Dodgers as a player. "To be part of this, it’s a special day. I think they got it right, wearing Dodger blue for one day. … He changed the world, right? And we don’t live in a perfect world, still.
"For him to do what he did, I can’t even imagine. I can’t imagine how he felt, how he went (through it). The fact that he persevered, he put us in this spot. We have a better world because of Jackie Robinson, but we still have a lot of work to do.”
Before their home opener at Citi Field, the Mets unveiled a long-awaited statue of Tom Seaver a few steps from the ornate Jackie Robinson Rotunda that serves as the ballpark’s main entrance. Robinson Canó, named for the former Dodgers great, homered in a 10-3 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Canó and teammate Francisco Lindor, who went deep from both sides of the plate, wore special cleats for Jackie Robinson Day.
“Always special. He’s one of the reasons that I’m here,” Lindor said. “Courage, excellence and commitment to the game of baseball.”
Canó, who sat out last season while serving his second suspension for performance-enhancing drugs, was asked if it was especially meaningful to connect on Jackie Robinson Day.
“For sure. This is the day that myself and everybody is always going to remember,” he said. “You do something special on that day.”
The first 25,000 fans received a Brooklyn Dodgers Jackie Robinson T-shirt, and Jackie Robinson Foundation scholars went down the handshake line with Mets players on the field during pregame introductions. Robinson’s granddaughter did the same, and pregame ceremonies included a recorded message from his son, David, and the 75th anniversary logo displayed on the large video board in center field.

CLEVELAND — It was as if Carlos Rodón looked at his 12 strikeouts over five innings in his Giants debut and asked himself, How can I beat that?
Rodón took a decidedly different tact Friday against the Cleveland Guardians in his second outing of the season but was equally as effective, even if it was all but impossible to be more impressive. Absent the preposterous rate Rodón missed bats in his first start, he replaced it with an even more cold-blooded efficiency (and didn’t stop getting swings and misses, either).
But Rodón, with a fastball that only gained velocity as the night went on, still showed the ability to blow it past hitters when needed, such as in his seventh and final inning, after the Guardians started the inning with runners on the corners. Rodón recorded his eighth and ninth strikeouts of the evening to escape the threat and set up Rodón to earn his first win with the Giants, who began a four-city, 11-day road trip with a 4-1 win to spoil the Cleveland’s home opener at Progressive Field.
“I really think through these first couple games, we’re witnessing something special,” manager Gabe Kapler said afterward.
Rodón limited the Guardians to two hits over seven innings and needed only 47 pitches to make it through the first five frames. With nine more strikeouts Friday, no pitcher in the majors has more than Rodón’s 21 so far this season. Through his first two starts, Rodón has pitched 12 innings and allowed two runs, a 1.50 ERA.
With a trio of home runs Friday, Brandon Crawford, Joc Pederson and Joey Bart ensured they wouldn’t let a second straight marvelous start go to waste, after the Giants failed to muster enough offense in Rodón’s first outing of the year.
The Giants got almost all the offense they needed from Crawford in his first at-bat back from a jammed wrist that caused him to miss Thursday’s series finale against the Padres. Riding the gusts blowing out to right-center field, Crawford launched ball after ball beyond the wall during batting practice, then transferred that power to the game for his first home run of season. The ball landed about a dozen rows up in the right field seats, 390 feet away from home plate, and gave the Giants a 1-0 lead.
Pederson padded the lead with a solo shot of his own in the sixth inning, going 410 feet to straightaway center for his second home run in a Giants uniform (and the first off a real pitcher, no offense to Padres right fielder Wil Myers). And Bart provided more insurance with a rocket of a two-run shot to left — his team-leading third of the season, blasted off the bat at 109.1 mph — after Cleveland had pulled within 2-1.
With only 47 pitches through five shutout innings, it looked as though Rodón could defy the loose pitch count he was on and possibly even top the eight innings Logan Webb provided in Thursday’s 4-2 win. However, he needed another 43 to complete the next two innings and gave way to Tyler Rogers and Camilo Doval for the eighth and ninth.
“I went out there and attacked,” Rodón said. “Joey and I once again kept that pace. They were swinging early. They were really aggressive. … I pitch off my fastball, and when my fastball’s working, everything seems to follow.”
Whereas Rodón needed 89 pitches to complete his five brilliant innings in his Giants debut, he had barely reached half that total by the time he retired the side for the fifth time Friday night. He began to labor in the sixth and seventh but escaped with only one run allowed and finished each of them with punchouts, including one 99.3 mph heater he blew past Steven Kwan, the hottest hitter in the majors, that went down as the fastest pitch he has thrown this season.
His second-fastest pitch came on his 83rd offering of the evening, freezing Amed Rosario with a 99.1 mph heater down and in that stunted the Guardians’ rally in the seventh inning. Jose Ramirez, who walked to lead off the frame, scored Cleveland’s lone run on the next play, on a sacrifice fly from Owen Miller, but Rodón ended the inning by getting Josh Naylor swinging on a slider for ninth and final strikeout.
Rodón’s 21 strikeouts are the most in the majors so far this season and are three more than Juan Marichal recorded his first two starts with the Giants. Only one pitcher in franchise history, Cliff Melton (22; 1937), has struck out more batters in his first two starts.
“I think we all knew the kind of stuff he had when we signed him,” Crawford said. “He’s been not very fun, necessarily, to play behind — because there’s not a whole lot of action for us. But it’s been fun to watch him.”
Rodón produced swings and misses on a modest nine pitches, after doing so 24 times in his first start (the third-most in a game in the post-2008 Statcast era). In fact, when the Giants forced Cleveland starter Zach Plesac from the game with one out in the fifth, after Wilmer Flores doubled, Plesac had missed twice as many bats as Rodón.
It was the few pitches that caught the barrels of Giants bats, however, that made the difference.
After back-to-back masterpieces by the two starters at the top of their rotation, the Giants send Anthony DeSclafani to the hill Saturday looking to extend their winning streak to four games. | https://www.paradisepost.com/2022/04/15/carlos-rodon-matches-his-magnificent-debut-with-different-type-of-outing-vs-guardians/ | 2022-04-16T03:14:44Z | https://www.paradisepost.com/2022/04/15/carlos-rodon-matches-his-magnificent-debut-with-different-type-of-outing-vs-guardians/ | true | 7 |

Who is Tyson Fury?
Tyson "The Gypsy King" Fury is the undefeated WBC and The Ring heavyweight champion, and widely considered the lineal unified champion of the world.
The 33-year-old, who stands at a towering 6ft 9in, is one of the best pound-for-pound boxers in the world, and the only boxer to beat two champions with at least 10 successful title defences behind them.
He took the WBA, WBO IBO, IBF and The Ring titles off Wladimir Klitschko in 2015, but was forced to relinquish them due to a combination of factors, including contractual conflicts, doping violations and mental health issues.
A rematch fight against Deontay Wilder in 2020 saw Fury win via TKO in the seventh round after a dominant performance to take the WBC and The Ring magazine titles. Fury's last fight saw him knock out Wilder once again, this time in the 11th round, in a third encounter between the two fighters back in October last year.
Who is Dillian Whyte?
A former kickboxing champion, Whyte defeated Anthony Joshua in his first amateur bout in 2009, and would face AJ again six years later, with Joshua coming out on top this time after a close-fought contest.
He went on to notch up notable wins over Dereck Chisora (twice), Joseph Parker, Oscar Rivas and Lucas Browne.
A perennial contender, the 33-year-old had recorded 11 consecutive victories before a stunning loss at the left fist of Povetkin in August 2020 - only the second of his career (28-2 with 18 KOs).
The 33-year-old, would go to avenge that defeat in the rematch in March last year, with a superb TKO victory in the 4th round to put him back on the road to a title shot.
Fury vs Whyte: Prediction
After three amazing fights against Deontay Wilder, two of which he entered as underdog, Tyson Fury comes into this fight as the heavyweight division's main man.
Despite his towering six-foot-nine stature and 270 pounds frame, Fury boasts arguably the best footwork at this weight. With a supremely resolute chin as witnessed in his battles with Wilder, it's hard to see the sometimes ponderous Whyte pulling off a shock here.
Fury vs Whyte: Are tickets still available?
With huge demand for this fight, capacity at Wembley for the event was increased at the start of April to 94,000, with Fury vs Whyte now set to be the highest boxing attendance of all time in the UK.
As of writing, tickets are still available via official ticket partner for the fight, Ticketmaster.

NEW YORK, April 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of MP Materials Corp. f/k/a Fortress Value Acquisition Corp. (NYSE: MP, FVAC, FVAC WS, FVAC.U) between May 1, 2020 and February 2, 2022, inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important April 25, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased MP Materials securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the MP Materials class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=3113 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than April 25, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Fortress Value Acquisition Corp. ("FVAC") had overstated its due diligence efforts and expertise with respect to identifying target companies to acquire; (2) FVAC performed inadequate due diligence into legacy MP Materials prior to the business combination, or else ignored significant red flags regarding, inter alia, legacy MP Materials' management, compliance policies, and Mountain Pass Rare Earth Mine and Processing Facility's ("Mountain Pass") profitability; (3) as a result, the Company's future business and financial prospects post-business combination were overstated; (4) MP Materials engaged in an abusive transfer price manipulation scheme with a related party in the People's Republic of China to artificially inflate the Company's profits; (5) MP Materials' ore at Mountain Pass was not economically viable to harvest for rare earth metals; and (6) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the MP Materials class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=3113 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

A mysterious leaden sarcophagus discovered in the bowels of Paris’ Notre-Dame cathedral after it was devastated by a fire will soon be opened and its secrets revealed, French archaeologists said Thursday. The announcement came just a day before the third anniversary of the inferno that engulfed the 12th century Gothic landmark, which shocked the world and led to a massive reconstruction project. During preparatory work to rebuild the church’s ancient spire last month, workers found the well-preserved sarcophagus buried more than a metre (three feet) underground, lying among the brick pipes of a 19th century heating system. But it is believed to be much older — possibly from the 14th century. Scientists have already peeked into the sarcophagus using an endoscopic camera, revealing the upper part of a skeleton, a pillow of leaves, fabric and as-yet unidentified objects. The sarcophagus was extracted from the cathedral on Tuesday, France’s INRAP national archaeological research institute said during a press conference. It is currently being held in a secure location and will be sent “very soon” to the Institute of Forensic Medicine in the southwestern city of Toulouse. Forensic experts and scientists will then open the sarcophagus and study its contents, to identify the skeleton’s gender and former state of health, lead archaeologist Christophe Besnier said, adding that carbon dating technology could be used. Noting that it was found under a mound of earth that had furniture from the 14th century, Besnier said “if it turns out that it is in fact a sarcophagus from the Middle Ages, we are dealing with an extremely rare burial practice”. They also hope to determine the social rank of the deceased. Given the place and style of burial, they were presumably among the elite of their time. However, INRAP head Dominique Garcia emphasised that the body will be examined “in compliance” with French laws regarding human remains. “A human body is not an archaeological object,” he said. “As human remains, the civil code applies and archaeologists will study it as such.” Once they are done studying the sarcophagus, it will be returned “not as an archaeological object but as an anthropological asset,” Garcia added. And could Notre-Dame, this unknown person’s home for so many centuries, serve as their final resting place? INRAP said the possibility of “re-internment” in the cathedral was being studied. | https://dailytimes.com.pk/920220/mystery-sarcophagus-found-in-notre-dame-to-be-opened/ | 2022-04-16T03:24:25Z | https://dailytimes.com.pk/920220/mystery-sarcophagus-found-in-notre-dame-to-be-opened/ | true | 4 |
Christians shouldn’t attend same-sex wedding ceremonies, as attending would be to an inherent show of support, according to Southern Baptist Theological Seminary President Albert Mohler Jr.
In an episode of Mohler’s “The Briefing” podcast that aired Friday, the Evangelical theologian was asked by a listener about what to do if one is invited to a same-sex wedding ceremony.
Mohler responded by noting that the “whole context of the wedding as a public event is the public exchange of vows and the public declaration of the rightness of this relationship.”
“Remember that the traditional word used of those who are attending a wedding is that they are celebrants,” he added. “They are there to celebrate the wedding. It is virtually impossible to go to … a wedding of a same-sex couple and go and smile and not give affirmation to what you believe to be fundamentally contrary to nature and injurious to human flourishing.”
Southern Baptist Theological Seminary President Albert Mohler Jr. gives a speech at the Centennial Institute’s Western Conservative Summit, held at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, Colorado, on July 12-13, 2019. | YouTube/Centennial Institute
Mohler went on to say that “if you are consistently biblical in your thinking, you simply can’t go to a wedding that actually isn’t a wedding, for a marriage that you don’t believe is actually a marriage.”
“One of the principles that has guided the Christian church through the centuries is that the Church cannot sanction and Christians should not celebrate weddings that are illicit or unlawful according to Scripture.
“Now that can include some situations in which it would be a man and a woman standing at the altar, but we would believe there are biblical reasons why they should not be joined together, why it would not be a biblical marriage, it is not a rightful wedding. You extend that to the LGBTQ revolution and we have a whole new set of complexities, but in reality, this isn’t a new question.”
Mohler tackled other listener-submitted questions in the podcast episode, including, when is a child too young to have a conversation about transgender ideology.
“The one thing we must always do is say what is true,” Mohler replied. “But understanding how much to say and how much to explain at any one moment to any given child, well, that is something that only faithful parents can actually well understand.” | https://believersportal.com/baptist-theologist-frowns-at-christians-attending-same-sex-weddings/ | 2022-04-16T03:27:53Z | https://believersportal.com/baptist-theologist-frowns-at-christians-attending-same-sex-weddings/ | false | 1 |

Volunteers helping Salado residents clean-up following EF-3 tornado
BELL COUNTY, Texas - Volunteers in Bell County set up a call center inside the Salado Civic Center to respond to requests for assistance after an EF-3 tornado hit the area Tuesday.
"The calls are coming in," explained Precinct 2 Constable Rolly Correa, who is among those working at the center. "It’s a holiday, but it’s still something where there are people out there working hard to try to get their lives back together."
The center is also fielding calls from volunteers. They are matching donations of time, labor and resources with home and business owners' needs.
"People are just amazing. They just want to help," said Correa.
Philip Ballmann drove from Waco to assist with clean up on Friday. "I called the [call center] and they took my name and number and told me to show up and I got out here at 9 a.m.," he said. "I felt the need as a Christian it’s my duty to help other people."
Ballmann spent Good Friday cleaning rubble where the Victory Baptist Church once stood.
"I mean, it’s as good as it’s going to get," laughed Jeff Bohro.
Bohro’s uncle started preaching at the church 43 years ago, the year he was born. "It means a lot. My wife and I were married there. Baptized at the church down the road," he said.
Bohro says the family will rebuild. Most of the volunteers assisting them, like Ballmann are strangers.
"That’s what the whole church is about, love and helping thy neighbor, ‘Do unto somebody as you do unto yourself.’ So, it’s awesome to see everybody step together and come to help us out."
His uncle plans to host an outdoor Easter Service at the site Sunday. "That’s what he does every Sunday, that’s where he’s going to be at," he said.
For assistance in Bell County, call 254-534-4562. To volunteer or donate in Bell County, call 254-534-2217.
The call center is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday - Friday.

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Skyrocketing inflation means that costs are being passed down to just about everyone.
More businesses are feeling the pinch, even big online retailers. Amazon is now joining the long list of tech companies adding fuel and inflation fees, fees that will likely be passed onto consumers.
Amazon will now add a 5% fuel and inflation surcharge to third-party users who use their fulfillment services.
“It came from nowhere and it’s like a basically two weeks’ notice,” said Maxim Kornilov, Organo Republic CEO.
Organo Republic is a Florida e-commerce seed dealer which has been selling products on Amazon since 2016.
Kornilov’s company will be affected by the new fee, which goes into effect April 28.
“Selling on Amazon is a great opportunity and a lot of potential, but every year I think it gets harder and harder,” he said.
In a letter to sellers, Amazon said its been able to absorb cost increases in the past, but the constant change in inflation has led to the new charge.
“It feels like you’re being robbed constantly because they are increasing their fees all the time under a different excuse,” Kornilov continued.
He said he is pivoting to more website promotions outside of Amazon, and encourages consumers to check companies’ direct sites for products.
“Prices can be a lot lower than if you ordered the same product from Amazon and probably will be the case more and more, because they keep changing the fees,” he said. | https://www.8newsnow.com/news/local-news/amazon-adds-fuel-inflation-fees-to-sellers/ | 2022-04-16T03:45:58Z | https://www.8newsnow.com/news/local-news/amazon-adds-fuel-inflation-fees-to-sellers/ | true | 1 |

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Hagen Smith twirled a seven-inning, seven-strikeout gem, and the Hog hitters hammered three home runs as No. 6 Arkansas (27-7, 10-4 SEC) earned a 4-0 series-clinching shutout win over No. 15 LSU (23-11, 7-7 SEC) on Friday night at Baum-Walker Stadium.
Arkansas has now taken three straight series from LSU and collected back-to-back home series wins over the Tigers for the first time since the 1999 and 2001 campaigns. With Friday night’s win, the Hogs extended their SEC-leading consecutive home series win streak to 11.
Smith was sharp from the start, retiring the first nine batters he faced while fanning four along the way. His early dominance gave Arkansas’ offense some time to get settled in before breaking out for three runs in the bottom of the third.
Zack Gregory swatted a leadoff home run to left before Michael Turner joined in on the fun with a two-run homer down the line in left, extending the Razorbacks’ advantage to three. Chris Lanzilli swatted Arkansas’ third and final home run of the day in the bottom of the fifth to put the Hogs ahead by four.
Turner finished the ballgame with three hits and two runs batted in, his team-leading ninth multi-RBI effort. The graduate transfer catcher is now slashing .347/.424/.570 with five home runs and 32 RBI on the season.
A 4-0 lead was more than enough for Smith to work with. The true freshman was spectacular all afternoon, matching his season high with seven scoreless innings and striking out seven while allowing only two hits and issuing one walk. Smith carded his team-leading sixth win of the season and turned in his fifth quality start of the year.
Zebulon Vermillion and Evan Taylor emerged from the bullpen in relief of Smith, silencing the Tigers over the final two frames. Taylor recorded his first career save, striking out one in 1 1/3 hitless innings.
Right-hander Jaxon Wiggins will toe the rubber when Arkansas goes for its fourth-ever sweep of LSU — and its first since 2011 — in tomorrow’s series finale. First pitch at Baum-Walker Stadium is set for 2 p.m. Saturday, April 16, on SEC Network+. | https://www.nwahomepage.com/sports/pig-trail-nation/smith-twirls-gem-razorbacks-belt-three-homers-in-series-clinching-win/ | 2022-04-16T04:08:35Z | https://www.nwahomepage.com/sports/pig-trail-nation/smith-twirls-gem-razorbacks-belt-three-homers-in-series-clinching-win/ | false | 2 |
WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden said Friday he plans to nominate Michael Barr, the dean of the University of Michigan’s public policy school, to be the Federal Reserve’s vice chairman of supervision.
The selection of Barr comes after Biden’s first choice for the Fed post, Sarah Bloom Raskin, withdrew her nomination a month ago in the face of opposition from Republicans and one Democrat, Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia. Raskin’s critics had argued that she would apply the Fed’s regulatory authority to climate change and possibly discourage banks from lending to energy companies.
But with Barr, Biden noted the importance of politics in a Friday statement that said his nominee had previously cleared the Senate on a bipartisan basis.
“Michael brings the expertise and experience necessary for this important position at a critical time for our economy and families across the country,” Biden said.
The Democratic president said that Barr “has spent his career protecting consumers, and during his time at Treasury, played a critical role in creating both the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the position for which I am nominating him.”
Barr is the dean of Michigan’s Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy. He was an assistant Treasury secretary for financial institutions during the Obama administration who helped design the 2010 Dodd-Frank regulations after the devastating 2008 financial crisis.
Barr, a Rhodes Scholar who clerked for Justice David Souter on the Supreme Court, also served during the Clinton administration at the White House, the Treasury Department and the State Department.
Despite those credentials, some liberal critics last year blocked Barr’s candidacy to become the Biden administration’s comptroller of the currency, a position that is responsible for regulating national banks. These critics viewed with suspicion Barr’s role on the advisory boards of the financial firms Lending Club and Ripple Labs. They also asserted that he had helped dilute proposals for stricter bank regulations during the Obama administration.
But Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown, the Democratic chairman of the Banking Committee, voiced full support for Barr.
“Michael Barr understands the importance of this role at this critical time in our economic recovery,” Brown said. “I strongly urge my Republican colleagues to abandon their old playbook of personal attacks and demagoguery and put Americans and their pocketbooks first.”
Others offer strong praise for Barr and say he appears well suited for the Fed position.
David Dworkin, president of the National Housing Conference, which advocates for affordable housing, suggested that Barr’s understanding of Wall Street gives him the right mix of “centrist expertise and progressive policy views’’ to win confirmation in a closely divided Senate.
Barr would be joining the Fed at an especially challenging and high-risk period for the central bank and the economy.
The Fed is set to raise interest rates aggressively in the coming months to try to reduce persistently high inflation. Yet it will be extraordinarily difficult for Fed Chair Jerome Powell — who is awaiting Senate confirmation for a second term — to slow inflation by raising borrowing costs without also weakening the economy and perhaps even causing a recession.
“This is about landing a very complicated plane on the runway smoothly,” Dworkin said. “It’s very hard to do.” | https://www.effinghamdailynews.com/news/biden-picks-michael-barr-for-feds-bank-regulation-post/article_0c54b2fe-bd10-11ec-b93d-cffd1d13e39f.html | 2022-04-16T04:12:31Z | https://www.effinghamdailynews.com/news/biden-picks-michael-barr-for-feds-bank-regulation-post/article_0c54b2fe-bd10-11ec-b93d-cffd1d13e39f.html | true | 25 |
Little Couple’s Jen Arnold sparks concern after star shares troubling pic & gives update on after ‘painful’ hip surgery
LITTLE Couple star Jen Arnold left fans concerned with her latest update after undergoing a "painful" procedure.
The reality star has been off social media for some time as she recovers from the surgery.
On Friday, after some time away from Instagram the mom of two posted a photo of herself laying on the couch with a blanket over her.
She appeared makeup free, and included a lengthy caption in which she provided an update on her recovery journey.
"I haven't been online in a while – balancing work & hip revision surgery & mommy hood keeping me busy & tired," Jen wrote.
Jen went on: "Sharing a recovery photo... More to come as I'm now walking with only one crutch."
Fans wished her well in the comments, while many appeared worried.
One commenter wrote: "Hoping for a smooth recovery!"
Another wrote: "Oh wow. Please take care of my friend rest and relax, recover."
A third commenter added: "Bless your sweet heart you are such an inspiration healing prayers and good vibes your way."

Earlier this month, Dr. Jen revealed that she went under the knife.
SURGERY SHOCKER
She thanked her doctor in the post crediting him with having taken such good care of her and her husband.
"This hip replacement revision surgery wasn’t the easiest I’ve had, with a small pelvic fracture & not being able to bear weight on my leg for 6weeks," Dr. Jen continued.
The Little Couple star went on to say that this surgery was easy compared to the many orthopedic procedures she has had in the past, noting that she had to be in full body casts for weeks at one time.
Being a mom and starting a new job has made recovery that much more challenging for her, but now that she is starting physical therapy she hopes it'll get easier.
This marks her second hip surgery, as she had gotten the right one operated one some time before.
Dr. Jen had her left hip operated on 20 years ago, but it failed.
She traveled to New York for her operation in order to work with one of the top doctors.
The post came amid even more worries about her health.
CAN'T STOP
Even in the midst of her surgeries and health struggles, Dr. Jen took on a new job.
She used to work as the director of the Simulation Center at John Hopkins All Children's Medical Center in Florida.
Dr. Jen and her family have since moved to Boston after landing a new job.
She is now the program director of Boston Children's Hospital's Simulator Program.
“I am both a passionate neonatologist and healthcare simulation educator,” she wrote in her bio on Boston Children's Hospital website.
"As a person born with a physical disability, a rare type of skeletal dysplasia, it has been my goal as a physician to give back and help future generations of babies and kids lead healthy and happy lives. It was the inspiration of my own surgeon, Dr. Steven Kopits, who inspired me to enter into medicine," Dr. Jen continued.
The couple moved their kids up north, selling their Florida home for $3.6 million.
The kids – William and Zoey, both of whom are adopted – appear to be enjoying their new home, even experiencing their first snow day.

Russia warns US of 'consequences' of Ukraine military aid: reports
US President Joe Biden has pledged a new $800 million military aid package for Ukraine
Russia has formally complained to the United States over its military aid to Ukraine, warning of "unpredictable consequences" if shipments of advanced weaponry go forward, US media reported.
In a diplomatic note this week, Moscow warned the United States and NATO against sending the "most sensitive" weapons for Kyiv to use in the conflict with Russia, saying such shipments were "adding fuel" to the situation and could come with "unpredictable consequences," the Washington Post reported.
The warning came the same week that US President Joe Biden pledged a new $800 million military aid package for Ukraine, including helicopters, howitzers and armored personnel carriers.
"What the Russians are telling us privately is precisely what we've been telling the world publicly -- that the massive amount of assistance that we've been providing our Ukrainian partners is proving extraordinarily effective," the Post quoted a senior administration official -- who spoke on condition of anonymity about the note -- as saying.
The State Department declined to comment on reports of the formal note.
"We won't confirm any private diplomatic correspondence," a State Department spokesperson said.
"What we can confirm is that, along with allies and partners, we are providing Ukraine with billions of dollars' worth of security assistance, which our Ukrainian partners are using to extraordinary effect to defend their country against Russia's unprovoked aggression and horrific acts of violence."
According to the New York Times citing US officials, the note was sent through normal channels, and was not signed by any senior Russian officials.
The formal correspondence indicates Russia is concerned about the United States' ongoing material support for Ukraine, an anonymous US official told CNN.
CNN also reported that one source familiar with the document said the complaint could mean Moscow is getting ready to adopt a more aggressive stance against the United States and NATO as the invasion of Ukraine continues.
Biden told his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky of the new weapons aid package over the phone Wednesday, as Russia refocused its efforts eastward, the new frontline of the seven-week-old war.
"As Russia prepares to intensify its attack in the Donbas region, the United States will continue to provide Ukraine with the capabilities to defend itself," Biden said.
"This new package of assistance will contain many of the highly effective weapons systems we have already provided and new capabilities tailored to the wider assault we expect Russia to launch in eastern Ukraine."
Zelensky for his part tweeted that he and Biden had discussed the "additional package of defensive and possible macro-financial aid."
The new assistance included some of the heavier equipment that Washington had previously refused to provide to Kyiv for fear of escalating the conflict with nuclear-armed Russia, and comes after previous weapons aid already supplied to the Ukrainian army. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/afp/article-10723705/Russia-warns-US-consequences-Ukraine-military-aid-reports.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-04-16T04:18:58Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/afp/article-10723705/Russia-warns-US-consequences-Ukraine-military-aid-reports.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true | 15 |

The sport of hockey is typically not for the faint of heart. That was particularly true in the NHL in the late 1970s and early 1980s, when Mike Bossy was trying to make his mark as a young, hotshot goal-scoring winger coming out of Laval of the QMJHL, just about a half-hour’s drive from where he grew up in Montreal. Bench-clearing brawls, hacking and whacking, cross-checks to the small of the back — those were all pretty commonplace back then.
Breaking in with the Islanders, Bossy skated headfirst into some heated rivalries. Games against the Rangers next door, and Flyers just a two-hour ride away on I-95, had a particular edge. These teams didn’t like one another, and it showed.
Bossy died Friday, and tributes came pouring in from all corners of the hockey world. Wayne Gretzky expressed his regret. So did Larry Robinson. Some NHL team Twitter accounts paid their respects. So did, of course, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman.
But the mark that Bossy left on the hockey world as both a player and a man might be best revealed in what some of his true rivals had to say about him — guys that he tormented with his ability to generate that timely, backbreaking goal that he so often did as one of the game’s most talented pure scorers.
“I’d see him at Islanders games as an ambassador and stuff.

Mariupol ‘has been wiped off the face of the earth’: governor
By Marisa Iati, Timothy Bella and Meryl Kornfield
Washington: Russian troops have laid siege to Mariupol for more than a month, cutting its citizens off from food, water, heat and humanitarian aid with few exceptions.
Now as it appears poised to capture the strategic Ukrainian port city, the governor of the Donetsk region said that while his country’s troops remained in control, Mariupol “has been wiped off the face of the earth” by Russian forces.
Pavlo Kyrylenko told CNN that troops were still “courageously defending Mariupol” against the Russian forces that have bombarded the city on the Sea of Azov, leaving it in ruins.
“The enemy cannot seize Mariupol. The enemy may seize the land that Mariupol used to stand on, but the city of Mariupol is no more,” Kyrylenko said. “The city of Mariupol has been wiped off the face of the earth by the Russian Federation, by those who will never be able to restore it.”
Russian troops have been carving sections of the city from Ukrainian control. Analysts are predicting it will probably become the first major Ukrainian city to fall in the coming week. Occupying Mariupol would give Russia control of the Sea of Azov coast and serve as a land bridge between Russian-held territories in eastern Ukraine and the Crimean Peninsula, which Moscow took from Ukraine in 2014.
The situation in Mariupol remained “complicated”, Oleksandr Motuzyanyk, a spokesman for Ukraine’s Defence Ministry, said on Friday (Saturday AEST). Motuzyanyk claimed that Russia was still focused on attacking industrial areas and the port of Mariupol, and that invading forces intensified their shelling in using a Tu-22М3 long-range bomber to attack the city for the first time.
“But the Russians have not managed yet to fully take control of the city,” he said.
The ongoing destruction in Mariupol comes as the United Nations has renewed calls for civilians to be given safe passage out of the besieged city. Humanitarian agencies have been trying to facilitate safe-passage corridors out of Mariupol for weeks, with mixed success. Around 100,000 people are still believed to be inside the city that had a population of 450,000 before the war began.
“Tens of thousands of civilians in Mariupol – which has been an epicentre of horror since the conflict began – and in other locations around Ukraine have now endured 50 days of violence and shelling,” Martin Griffiths, UN undersecretary general for humanitarian affairs, said.
Griffiths added, “I urgently call on the parties to the conflict to comply with their obligations under international humanitarian law to protect civilians, homes and civilian infrastructure across Ukraine.”
Russia’s Defence Ministry claimed a further advance on Friday, saying its forces were now in full control of Mariupol’s Ilyich Iron and Steel Works.
But Ukrainian forces were maintaining their hold on the Azovstal steel plant, one of the largest metallurgical factories in Europe. The Azov Battalion, one of Ukraine’s most skilled – and controversial – military units, defended the sprawling steel plant in the city’s east against repeated assaults this week, according to the Washington-based Institute for the Study of War. A photo shared by a reporter for the Kyiv Independent newspaper appeared to show smoke billowing from the heavily industrial area.
Azovstal is run by Metinvest, which produced about 45 per cent of Ukraine’s steel output last year. The company, which produces millions of tonness of iron, steel and finished rolled products per year, is owned by billionaire Rinat Akhmetov, Ukraine’s richest man.
Eduard Basurin, a pro-Moscow separatist leader, said Monday that he expected Russian forces to use “chemical troops” at Azovstal to “smoke moles out of their burrows,” the institute reported. The Azov Battalion, which is associated with far-right nationalism, later claimed that Moscow had used chemical poison against troops in the region. The United States and several international organisations are investigating the allegation.
By many accounts, Mariupol has experienced some of the invasion’s worst atrocities. In March, Ukraine accused Russia of striking a maternity hospital there; videos and photos of the aftermath show children and bloodied pregnant women fleeing. A week later, a drama theatre where hundreds were sheltering was bombed – even though the word “children” in Russian had been painted on the ground outside.
Mariupol Mayor Vadym Boychenko told the Associated Press that at least 21,000 people have been killed there, with bodies “carpeted through the streets”.
Kyrylenko said that Ukrainian and Russian forces may engage in a major battle in Mariupol in the next several days. He noted that while Russia has suffered losses in armour and personnel, the governor had “not seen a full-scale offensive in all directions as we expected”.
“The Ukrainian flag flies over the city of Mariupol,” he said.
Looking forward, Kyrylenko told CNN restoring Mariupol one day was “only something Ukraine can do.”
“That is something the Russians will never be able to do,” he said. “So the city of Mariupol is no more.”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he discussed the fate of the besieged port city with the country’s military leaders and the heads of its intelligence agencies on Saturday (AEST), Reuters reported.
“The details cannot be made public now, but we are doing everything we can to save our people.”
He said peace and “how many more Ukrainians the occupiers have time to kill” depended on Ukraine receiving more outside support, AP reported.

Over 900 civilians dead around Kyiv, Russia vows new attacks
US official: Sunken Russian cruiser was hit by Ukrainian missile
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Indignant over what it called Ukrainian strikes in Russian territory and following the stunning loss of its Black Sea flagship, Moscow threatened renewed missile attacks on Kyiv, where authorities said the bodies of more than 900 civilians were found outside the capital. Most had been shot dead, police said, and likely “simply executed.”
Russian forces continued preparations for a renewed offensive in eastern Ukraine, and fighting also went on in the pummeled southern port city of Mariupol, where locals reported seeing Russian troops digging up bodies. In the northeastern city of Kharkiv, the shelling of a residential area killed seven people, including a 7-month-old child, and wounded 34, according to regional Gov. Oleh Sinehubov.
In the towns around Kyiv, said Andriy Nebytov, who heads the region’s police force, bodies were abandoned in the streets or given temporary burials. He cited police data indicating 95% died from gunshot wounds.
“Consequently, we understand that under the (Russian) occupation, people were simply executed in the streets,” Nebytov said.
GRAPHIC WARNING: Videos and photos contain disturbing images.
More bodies are being found every day under rubble and in mass graves, he added, with the largest number found in Bucha, more than 350. According to Nebytov, utility workers gathered and buried bodies in the Kyiv suburb while it remained under Russian control. Russian troops, he added, had been “tracking down” people who expressed strong pro-Ukrainian views.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russian troops occupying parts of the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions in the south of terrorizing civilians and hunting for anyone who served in Ukraine’s military or government.
“The occupiers think this will make it easier for them to control this territory. But they are very wrong. They are fooling themselves,” Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address. “Russia’s problem is that it is not accepted — and never will be accepted — by the entire Ukrainian people. Russia has lost Ukraine forever.”
More violence could be in store for Kyiv after Russian authorities accused Ukraine of wounding seven people and damaging about 100 residential buildings with airstrikes in Bryansk, a region bordering Ukraine. Authorities in another border region of Russia also reported Ukrainian shelling Thursday.
“The number and the scale of missile attacks on objects in Kyiv will be ramped up in response to the Kyiv nationalist regime committing any terrorist attacks or diversions on the Russian territory,” Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said.
Russia used missiles to destroy a facility for the repair and production of missile systems in Kyiv, Konashenkov said. The Ukrainian state arms manufacturer, Ukroboronprom, said Russian forces struck one of the missile workshops at the Vizar plant, located near Kyiv’s Zhuliany airport.
Ukrainian officials have not confirmed striking targets in Russia, and the reports could not be independently verified.
However, Ukrainian officials said forces did strike a key Russian warship with missiles. A senior U.S. defense official backed up the claim, saying the U.S. now believes the Moskva was hit by at least one Neptune anti-ship missile, and probably two. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss an intelligence assessment.
The Moskva, named for the Russian capital, sank while being towed to port Thursday after taking heavy damage. Moscow did not acknowledge any attack, saying only that a fire had detonated ammunition on board. The loss of the ship represents an important victory for Ukraine and a symbolic defeat for Russia.
The sinking reduces Russia’s firepower in the Black Sea and seemed to symbolize Moscow’s fortunes in an eight-week invasion widely seen as a historic blunder following the Russian retreat from the Kyiv region and much of northern Ukraine.
“A ‘flagship’ russian warship is a worthy diving site. We have one more diving spot in the Black Sea now. Will definitely visit the wreck after our victory in the war,” Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov tweeted Friday.
Russia’s warning of renewed airstrikes did not stop Kyiv residents from taking advantage of a sunny and slightly warmer spring Friday as the weekend approached. More people than usual were out on the streets, walking dogs, riding electric scooters and strolling hand in hand.
Such tentative signs of prewar life have resurfaced in the capital after Russian troops failed to capture the city and retreated to concentrate on eastern Ukraine, leaving behind evidence of possible war crimes. But a renewed bombardment could mean a return to the steady wail of air raid sirens heard during the early days of the invasion and to fearful nights sheltering in subway stations.
In Mariupol, the city council said Friday that locals reported seeing Russian troops digging up bodies buried in residential courtyards and not allowing new burials “of people killed by them.”
“Why the exhumation is being carried out and where the bodies will be taken is unknown,” the council said on the Telegram messaging app.
Fighting continued in industrial areas and the port, and Russia for the first time used the Tu-22М3 long-range bomber to attack the city, said Oleksandr Motuzyanyk, a spokesman for the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense.
Mariupol has been blockaded by Russian forces since the early days of the invasion, and dwindling numbers of Ukrainian defenders have held out against a siege that has come at a horrific cost to trapped and starving civilians.
The mayor said this week that the city’s death toll could surpass 20,000. Other Ukrainian officials have said they expect to find evidence in Mariupol of atrocities like the ones discovered in Bucha and other towns outside Kyiv.
Mariupol’s capture would allow Russian forces in the south, which came up through the annexed Crimean Peninsula, to fully link up with troops in the Donbas region, Ukraine’s eastern industrial heartland and the target of the looming offensive.
It’s not certain when Russia will launch a full-scale campaign.
Also Friday, a Russian rocket hit an airport at night in the central city of Oleksandriia, Mayor Serhiy Kuzmenko said via Facebook. He made no mention of casualties.
And a regional Ukrainian official said seven people were killed and 27 wounded when Russian forces fired on buses carrying civilians in the village of Borovaya, near Kharkiv. The claim could not be independently verified.
Dmytro Chubenko, a spokesman for the regional prosecutor’s office, told the Suspilne news website that authorities had opened criminal proceedings in connection with a suspected “violation of the laws and customs of war, combined with premeditated murder.”

When it comes to protecting important installations in India, the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) remains the top choice of the government. The force, which started with 3,129 jawans in 1969, is now the country’s third-largest paramilitary outfit with more than 1.5 lakh jawans.
The CISF protects airports, the Delhi Metro, historical monuments like the Taj Mahal, all ministries’ offices, a few important private institutions, and also dignitaries. This is the only such force that offers consultation and security analysis to various private organisations, schools, etc. The CISF is the lowest burden to the government in terms of finances as most of the money comes from the places that are under its security cover. It is a compensatory cost force.
ALSO READ | Know Your Paramilitary | Part 3: National Security Guard
Presently, the CISF is also providing security to protected persons classified as Z+, Z, X, Y. It is the only force with a customised and dedicated fire wing.
History
The journey of the CISF started on March 10, 1969. The force was created to guard and protect various industrial institutions of the country. But, after the hijacking of the Indian Airlines flight IC 814 in December 1999, the government of India decided to expand the deployment of the CISF and asked it to guard airports as well. In 2000, the CISF was given charge of guarding the Jaipur airport. In 2006, it was tasked to provide security to VVIPs and the force started the Special Security Group. The group started working from November 2006.
In 2007, the CISF also reached another benchmark and replaced the Delhi police from providing security to the Delhi Metro.
From the 1990s to date, the force has been given charge of securing airports, seaports, heritage monuments, nuclear power plants, and space installations. It was also deployed in Naxal-affected areas recently.
Strength and structure
The CISF is likely to reach a strength of 1.8 lakh troops in the next few years. The government is keen to augment the force after analysing threats to vital institutions from various global terror outfits.
Just like any other paramilitary force, the CISF is headed by a director general (DG)-rank officer who is from the Indian Police Service (IPS). There are four additional director general (ADG)-level officers who assist the DG. These ADG or special director general (SDG)-level officers look after the North, South, and Airport sectors, and Headquarters. The force has almost a dozen inspector general (IG)-rank officers who look after various sectors, training, etc. For the airport sector, a DIG, and deputy commandant-level officers look after the security of high-footfall airports. They are known as chief airport security officers. The fire wing of the CISF is also headed by an IG-level officer.
Stories of valour
Since the CISF is deployed to guard vital installations, there have been many instances where its troops repulsed attacks.
Its jawans are also deployed for law and order duty in various sensitive areas like Naxal-affected regions and Jammu and Kashmir and have shown extraordinary courage.
In January 2020, CISF jawans were deployed to check vehicles at Bann toll plaza in Nagrota, Jammu. They saw a truck and signalled it to stop. The troops found suspicious bags lying in the cabin of the vehicle. They overpowered the hidden terrorists who were eliminated and a huge amount of explosives was recovered.
Similarly, in 1993, the CISF was asked to guard the Hiroli Magazine at the Bailadila Iron Ore Project of the National Mineral Development Corporation Ltd in Dantewada (Chhattisgarh). The troops saw a large group of Naxals (around 500) armed with grenades, petrol bombs, firearms, etc. The Naxals launched a gruesome attack on the CISF post, asking the personnel to surrender. But the CISF troops fought bravely and stopped them from entering with a limited supply of arms. During the exchange of bullets, eight personnel of the CISF suffered severe injuries and sacrificed their lives in the discharge of duties.
ALSO READ | Know Your Paramilitary | Part 4: Countering Naxalism, Terrorism to Providing VIP Security, CRPF Does It All
Apart from this, the force has been consistently securing airports and not a single terror incident has taken place in a CISF-controlled airport.
Budget
Since the force is now reaching the next level in terms of the number of troops, the government of India has increased its budget. For 2022-23, the Centre has allocated Rs 12,201.90 crore for the CISF including a budget for modernisation.
Training
The CISF keeps updating its training charter almost every couple of years. The special tactics and training wing of the CISF’s National Industrial Security Academy provides training for special armed combat skills. It also gives training to various security agencies and the charter is based on the American specialised force SWAT (special weapons and tactics). The Quick Reaction Teams (QRTs) deployed at various airports, metro stations, and vital institutions also get training from this academy.
There are almost two dozen courses that CISF officers and jawans can pursue including arms and tactical training sessions. The Special Security Group, which covers VVIPs, also gets training from various other agencies.

Tesla is recalling nearly nearly 595,000 vehicles in the U.S., most for a second time, because a “Boombox” function can play sounds over an external speaker and obscure audible warnings for pedestrians.
The electric car company says in government documents that the new recall will disable “Boombox” if owners are using a feature that lets them “summon” the vehicles at low speeds. The first recall in February disabled “Boombox” if the Teslas are in drive, neutral or reverse.
Both recalls will be done with online software updates.
The new recall covers certain 2020 through 2022 Model Y, X, and S vehicles, as well as the 2017 through 2022 Model 3. It was disclosed Thursday in documents posted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
“Boombox” allowed drivers to play preset or custom sounds while the vehicles are moving. This violated federal safety standards that require pedestrian warning noises for electric cars, which make little noise when in motion.
The February recall came after the safety agency opened an investigation into the issue.
NHTSA said that in 2010, Congress required electric and hybrid vehicles to make pedestrian warning noises. The law required agency rules to stop manufacturers from allowing anyone other than an automaker or dealer to modify the pedestrian alert sounds,
Also Thursday, NHTSA posted documents showing that Tesla is recalling more than 7,000 Model X SUVs from the 2021 and 2022 because the side curtain air bags may not inflate as intended in a crash when the windows are lowered.
Owners will be notified in early June, and service centers will replace the left and right front-row side air bags. The problem was discovered in tests done by Tesla.

GILBERT, Iowa — The Iowa State Cyclones wrapped up spring practice in front of several hundred fans today just up the road from Ames at Gilbert High school. It was just the second time the team had been in the public spotlight during this spring.
”It's been even better for our kids to get out and you still don't know what you have until you have a success or failure in everybody sees it and then you got to respond to it and that's a sport you know it's a sense of security when you're just in you know if you got the coaches out there but he doesn't want to be on the sidelines with a little bit,” said Head Coach Matt Campbell.
For the final practice of the spring, they let them play and air it out, highlighted by a Couple of highlight catches on the day. The Cyclones are a team that is young and growing, if you look on. paper the team lost 14 starters from last season.
“Whatever that number is that's kind of like a like a fake number a little bit. But we had a lot of guys who played a lot of football on defense but we're fortunate to have some kingpins that have been a staple of what the expectation and standard is on the defensive side of the football and they've done a great job lead the way for us,” said Campbell.
Defense might be the name of the game for the Cyclones in 2022 with returning starters Anthony Johnson Jr. and O’Rien Vance stepping into more of a leadership role within the program.
“My role has increased a bit I am now kind of like in the main spotlight I want to say as a leader. Like I've always led people and always help them get better and push them to their greatest potential I would say now it's the spotlight that’s on me a little bit,” said starting safety Anthony Johnson Jr.
“At the same it's more of just like in the film just trying to coach as well as like on the sideline giving small pointers things like that and I feel like these guys kind of pick it up quicker,” said O’Rien Vance.
“Some guys had really good spring for us it'll be really fun to watch this video and kind of see man who put 15 great days together but I would say there's a lot of guys that are trending in are in the right direction,” said Matt Campbell. | https://www.weareiowa.com/article/sports/cyclone-football-wraps-up-spring-season/524-0304b29a-4375-424a-b62b-24288cc55c01 | 2022-04-16T05:08:26Z | https://www.weareiowa.com/article/sports/cyclone-football-wraps-up-spring-season/524-0304b29a-4375-424a-b62b-24288cc55c01 | true | 1 |

Crypto Payments Frozen Across India After Coinbase Announcement
Bloomberg News
,(Bloomberg) -- When Surojit Chatterjee walked on stage at a Coinbase Global Inc. conference in Bengaluru, India, on April 7, he had little reason to anticipate the fallout that would shortly ensue. Chatterjee, the company’s chief product officer, told the assembled audience that crypto investors would now be able to use the country’s online retail payments system to transfer funds to its local exchange.
Hours after Chatterjee’s announcement, the central bank-backed entity that runs the system — called United Payments Interface — said it was “not aware” of any crypto exchange using the network. Within three days of the event, Coinbase had halted rupee transfers to its trading app via UPI.
The abrupt reversal left Coinbase customers without any way of funding their accounts with rupees, dealing a blow to its expansion plans in India. “We are committed to working with NPCI and other relevant authorities to ensure we are aligned with local expectations and industry norms,” a spokesperson for Coinbase said in a statement to Bloomberg on March 11, referring to the National Payments Corporation of India, which operates UPI.
Coinbase wasn’t the only one affected. Since its announcement, at least four other companies that provide crypto-related trading services have either suspended rupee deposits or seen banks and payment gateways pull support for money transfers onto their platforms, according to executives at the firms and local media reports. Two other exchanges had lost support for rupee deposits from a payment service provider before the incident.
Industry Slump
Those actions put additional pressure on already falling trading volumes, exchange executives said. The industry is also bracing for a new tax on all crypto transactions above a certain size that will take effect on July 1.
Daily trading volumes on Indian crypto exchanges, which collectively cater to about 15 million people, has tumbled by between 88% and 96% since peaking last year, data from CoinGecko show. WazirX, India’s biggest crypto bourse, saw volumes drop 93% from an October high, according to the data.
Investors who cash in crypto positions on an exchange can still withdraw their fiat currency. Coinbase already offered trading in crypto pairs in India, which doesn’t require customers to deposit rupees into their accounts.
“After the Coinbase announcement, whoever was providing support to the industry has withdrawn support,” said Vikram Subburaj, chief executive officer of crypto exchange Giottus, in an April 12 interview. Giottus’s payment gateway stopped working with it, he said, declining to name the company. Trading volume on the platform plunged about 70% as a result, Subburaj said.
Local rival BuyUcoin has also halted payments via UPI after the notice from NPCI, said co-founder Atulya Bhatt.
Uneasy Relationship
NPCI, an initiative by the central bank and the Indian Banks’ Association, is an umbrella organization for retail payments and settlements in the country of 1.4 billion people. It didn’t respond to requests for comment.
CoinSwitch Kuber, a Bengaluru-based cryptocurrency exchange, temporarily halted accepting rupee deposits via UPI and other banking channels, the Economic Times reported April 12. CoinSwitch didn’t respond to an emailed request for comment.
Crypto-trading firms in India have had an uneasy relationship with banks and payment services providers since 2018, when the central bank issued a directive to lenders to stop working with digital asset companies. While the Supreme Court in 2020 reversed that directive, some banks remained hesitant to work with the crypto sector — in part because top officials at the Reserve Bank of India have kept calling publicly for cryptocurrencies to be banned.
As a result of the wariness from the traditional banking sector, payment gateways like Juspay and MobiKwik have become a crucial link between crypto exchanges and clients seeking to deposit fiat currency. Without their cooperation, investors are limited to using methods like transferring money to the exchanges’ current accounts, a time-consuming manual process prone to errors. Coinbase doesn’t offer that option in India.
Peer-to-Peer
Investors can also engage in peer-to-peer trading, where transfers of fiat is handled directly between the counterparties, although that represents a small share of the market in India.
One payment service provider stopped working with crypto exchanges last year after being told by banks to do so, its CEO said, asking that he and his company not be named due to the sensitivity of the issue.
MobiKwik, a local payment service provider, stopped working with Indian crypto exchanges on April 1, according to a report by news outlet Moneycontrol. MobiKwik declined to comment. WazirX and CoinDCX, another Indian crypto exchange, have both announced that rupee deposits via MobiKwik have been temporarily suspended.
Singled Out
Restricting payment access without legal grounds for doing so adds up to unfairly singling out the digital asset industry, said Jaideep Reddy, a lawyer at Nishith Desai Associates for specializes in technology.
“If a bank denies service to a crypto business, there has to be a valid reason other than the mere fact that it’s a crypto business,” Reddy said. “Banks have to be transparent, as account holders also have a charter of rights which includes transparency from the service provider.”
Edul Patel, co-founder and CEO of algorithmic crypto trading firm Mudrex, said payment gateways in India started withdrawing support after the Coinbase episode. That happened to Mudrex as well, Patel said in an April 12 interview, declining to name its partner.
The moves didn’t just impact trading, he said: Inflows into Coin Sets, a mutual fund-like crypto product the Y Combinator-backed startup offers, fell by roughly half in the previous two to three days.
“While exchanges around the world are innovating on Web 3.0, Indian exchanges are busy finding the next payment provider,” Subburaj of Giottus said.

Man accused of sexually assaulting woman inside South Florida massage palor
A man was arrested Tuesday on accusations that he broke into a South Florida massage parlor and raped an employee.
The incident happened around 5:30 p.m. Monday at the Oriental Massage Parlor at 6500 W. Fourth Ave in Hialeah.
According to reports, police were called to the business in reference to an armed burglary.
Responding officers entered the massage parlor and heard the victim screaming in distress.
Police located the victim and suspect, 26-year-old George Luis Rivero, in a room toward the rear of the business.
Officers witnessed Rivero and the victim “lying on the bed naked, engaged in sexual interaction,” and immediately detained both parties.
Authorities say the victim told officers Rivero forced his way into the rear of the business, grabbed the victim by her hair and repeatedly punched her in the head and face. He then sexually assaulted her.
The victim was able to get help by texting her sister who called police.
Surveillance video from the business corroborated the victim’s account.
Rivero told police the victim consensually stimulated him with her hands, but denied engaging in sexual intercourse.
Rivero was arrested on charges of burglary with assault or battery, sexual battery, battery and false imprisonment.
He is being held without bond. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2571273630424/man-accused-of-sexually-assaulting-woman-inside-south-florida-massage-palor | 2022-04-16T05:18:36Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2571273630424/man-accused-of-sexually-assaulting-woman-inside-south-florida-massage-palor | false | 1 |

A cold, wet start to Easter Weekend – Kris
We are going to wrap up this unusually cold, snowy April week the same way it started; with some snow! Saturday morning will be dry with near-record low temperatures in the mid 20s. Right about the time we hit our high of 44°, the rain will start. I think that will be sometime shortly after noon. Rain will turn to a rain/snow mix or snow Saturday evening. Most of the accumulating snow will stay in the mountains this time, and it will really pile up. Expect tricky mountain pass travel in both direction Saturday afternoon and evening. Things will dry out just in time for Easter Sunday, but it’s going to be a chilly day. We will start off in the 20s, once again. Highs will top out in the upper 40s and lower 50s, which is still between 5 and 10 degrees below average.
Next work week will be warmer, but temperatures will continue to run a little below our mid-April averages. There’s a at least a slight chance of showers every day next week.

Hyo Joo Kim maintain 3-shot lead in windy LOTTE Championship
By KALANI TAKASE
Associated Press
EWA BEACH, Hawaii (AP) — Hyo Joo Kim rallied with two late birdies for an even-par 72 to maintain a three-stroke lead Friday in the LPGA Tour’s LOTTE Championship. After dropping strokes on the par-4 seventh and par-3 12th with her only bogeys of the week at breezy Hoakalei Country Club, Kim birdied the par-4 14th and par-5 18th to get back to 10 under with one round left. The 26-year-old South Korean player won the last of her four LPGA Tour titles in 2019. American Brianna Do and Japan’s Hinako Shibuno were tied for second. Sunday qualifier Do birdied the first three holes in a 67. Shibuno shot 68. Somi Lee and Stephanie Meadow were 6 under. They each shot 69. | https://kion546.com/sports/ap-national-sports/2022/04/15/hyo-joo-kim-maintain-3-shot-lead-in-windy-lotte-championship/ | 2022-04-16T05:35:31Z | https://kion546.com/sports/ap-national-sports/2022/04/15/hyo-joo-kim-maintain-3-shot-lead-in-windy-lotte-championship/ | false | null |
