Margaret Engel | Special to WJW Sanford D. (Sandy) Horwitt, a political adviser, activist and author who wrote the definitive biography of pioneering community organizer Saul Alinsky, died March 12 at his home in Arlington. He was 79. The cause was gastric cancer. Horwitt became inspired by Alinsky when he was a graduate student at San Francisco State University in the 1960s and began reading an interview of Alinsky published in Harper’s magazine. “Before I had finished,” Horwitt wrote in the 1989 biography “Let Them Call Me Rebel: Saul Alinsky, His Life and Legacy,” “Alinsky had leaped from the pages, ten feet tall, the most fascinating person I had ever encountered.” In his book, Horwitt introduced a new generation to Alinsky’s work that began in 1930s Chicago to empower ordinary people, often with colorful and creative tactics. “In short order,” Horwitt wrote, “Alinsky took a phrase from the dull vocabulary of social work — ‘community organization’ — and turned it into something controversial, important, even romantic.” In the late 2000s, Horwitt and his book became a source for journalists and activists when Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton, both influenced by Alinsky, competed for the Democratic presidential nomination and sparked new interest in the community organizer. “Alinsky’s influence, relevance, and legacy live on,” Horwitt wrote in his book, “…because he effectively advanced the great American radical ideal that democracy is for ordinary people.” This ideal was an organizing principle for Horwitt’s own professional life, which focused on inspiring people, especially students, to be politically engaged. Horwitt also wrote a biography of U.S. Senator Russell D. Feingold (D-Wisc.) published in 2007, “Feingold: A New Democratic Party” (Simon & Schuster). He wrote a book, published in 2018, about federal judge and White House Counsel Abner J. Mikva, for whom Horwitt worked as a speechwriter and legislative aide when Mikva served as a U.S. Representative from the Chicago area. The book, “Conversations with Abner Mikva: Final Reflections on Chicago Politics, Democracy’s Future, and a Life of Public Service” (University Press of Kansas), doubled as a personal memoir for Horwitt. Sanford Dale Horwitt was born on Sept. 19, 1942, in Milwaukee. His father, Morton, ran a wholesale oil and gasoline business. His mother, Mary (Strawitz) Horwitt, was a bookkeeper and homemaker. The seeds of his admiration for political figures who stood up for the less powerful were planted early. “When my parents started talking about buying a house,” Horwitt wrote in “Conversations with Abner Mikva,” “I learned that some neighborhoods were off-limits because of NJA — no Jews allowed. I understood at an early age that, as a defense mechanism, many Jews, including my parents and aunts and uncles, thought of themselves as superior to the goyim. But simultaneously, we often felt like underdogs in American society. That may be why my first hero when I was six or seven years old was Jackie Robinson. I’m not sure that I realized at first that Jackie Robinson was black. But by the way adults talked about him, I sensed that he was a courageous underdog.” Horwitt graduated from Milwaukee’s Washington High School in 1961. He attended Northwestern University on a baseball scholarship, playing second base and co-captaining the varsity team. After graduating, Horwitt taught in the Northwestern University communications department and received a Ph.D. from the university in 1970. Early in his career, Horwitt was an assistant professor of communications studies at the University of Illinois-Chicago for four years, before volunteering in 1974 on the campaign to elect Abner Mikva to Congress from the suburbs north of Chicago. After Mikva’s victory, Horwitt moved with his family from Evanston, Ill., to Washington, D.C., to join the congressman’s staff. Horwitt forged a lifelong bond with Mikva, a leading proponent of gun violence prevention measures in Congress, including a ban on handguns. A notable sidelight of Horwitt’s work on Capitol Hill was organizing the Mikva office’s softball team that beat the National Rifle Association 7-3 in 1978. A softball from that game signed by members of the Mikva Marvels is still displayed in a trophy case in his home office. Horwitt served as Mikva’s aide for five years until the Senate confirmed Mikva as a federal appeals court judge in 1979 over strong opposition from the NRA. Later, Horwitt helped found the Mikva Challenge, a non-partisan group in honor of Mikva and his wife, Zoe, that teaches the skills needed for civic activism to thousands of youths annually in 10 states. After his experience on Capitol Hill, Horwitt advised several public interest organizations in Washington, including the National Coalition to Ban Handguns. He also ran a program at People for the American Way called First Vote that registered high school seniors to vote. During the early 1980s, he began writing his biography of Alinsky. His 1989 book dissected Chicago’s special brand of brutal politics and became the definitive history of Alinsky’s success in melding unions, churches and community groups into a progressive force for better housing and employment practices. His passionate interest in his subject was even displayed on the license plate of his vintage yellow Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 convertible, which read: “Alinsky.” A skilled public speaker and raconteur, Horwitt co-organized a monthly lunchtime salon at a Chinatown restaurant featuring Washington newsmakers. The salon ran for eight years until the pandemic halted it in 2020. Horwitt is survived by his wife, Joan, with whom he recently celebrated 51 years of marriage; their sons, Dusty, of Lansing, Mich., and Jeff, of Arlington; daughters-in-law Ann Allegra and Lauren Briggerman; and two granddaughters, Lila and Vivienne.

Tommy Thompson, just weeks removed from leading the University of Wisconsin System, met with former President Donald Trump on Thursday for a talk about “Wisconsin politics,” a former aide said. Thompson was elected to four terms as Wisconsin's governor, and earlier this year declined to rule out another bid. Thompson, 80, spent almost two years atop the university system before leaving earlier this month. Bill McCoshen, a former chief of staff to Thompson when he served as governor, said the two met at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort. “The primary topic was Wisconsin politics," McCoshen said. “They talked about the gubernatorial race, the Senate race and what it will take to win in Wisconsin. The topic of running for governor may have come up, but the purpose was to talk about Wisonsin politics more broadly.” A Trump spokesman did not respond to a request for comment. McCoshen said he expected Thompson to make a decision in April. The primary is in August. Former Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch, businessman Kevin Nicholson and state Rep. Timothy Ramthun are Republicans vying to take on Democratic Gov. Tony Evers. Thompson was first elected to the Legislature in 1966 and was first elected governor in 1986. He resigned midway through his fourth term to serve as Health and Human Services secretary under then-President George W. Bush, and ran briefly for president in 2008.

..’ll help to improve on the knowledge of staff, students- Vice-Chancellor The First Lady of Ondo State, Chief Mrs Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, today, donated Copies of a newly produced textbook, ‘Essential Textbook of Medicine’, to the State’s University of Medical Services, UNIMED. Presenting 10 copies of the 1540 pages textbook to the Vice-Chancellor of UNIMED in his office, a Technical Aide of Her Excellency who led the team to Ondo city, Mr. Ife Awoyelu, noted that the First Lady thought it right to purchase copies of the world-class textbook to aid teaching and learning processes in the medical institution. According to him, Mrs. Akeredolu, having attended the Launch of the book on Wednesday in Osun State University, as a Special Guest of Honour, who unveiled it, deemed it fit to provide UNIMED with copies due to its rich contents. Responding to the gesture, the UNIMED Vice- Chancellor, Prof. Adesegun Fatunsi, commended Mrs. Akeredolu’s commitment to child and maternal’s healthcare through her various initiatives. He, particularly, lauded the breast cancer awareness campaign of Her Excellency, through her Non-governmental Organization, Breast Cancer Association of Nigeria, (BRECAN). Prof. Fatunsi, who informed that he shared common interest with the First Lady in the area of Sexual, Maternal and Reproductive health issue, eulogised her for prioritizing the health of women, noting that a family cannot experience progress and development if the mother of the house suffers ill-health. As a Co-Editor of a section of the textbook, the UNIMED VC testified to the energies and resources expended by the over 100 Authors who published the book, while assuring that the institution would make good use of it to improve on the knowledge of both the staff and the students. Reiterating the commitment of the institution to impact the State, positively, in advancing the health of Ondo residents, the VC assured of readiness to partner health-related activities of the First Lady. With him during the presentation were the University’s Registrar, Dr. Julius Ekundayo, and the Librarian, Mr. Biliamin Popoola. Mary Agidi Special Assistant to Ondo State Governor on Media (Office of the First Lady) March 31,2022.

USDA forecasting higher food, grocery costs in 2022 (Gray News) - It looks like elevated food prices are going to continue this year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The USDA released its Food Price Outlook for 2022 and predicted the cost of groceries would continue to increase to as much as 4%. According to the Consumer Price Index, grocery and supermarket food prices were already 8.6% higher in February than last year and up nearly 1.5% from January to February in 2022. As reported by the Associated Press, prices for U.S. consumers have continued to jump recently, leaving families facing the highest inflation rate since 1990. “We’re getting into this situation where we have spiraling inflation,” said Jay Hatfield, CEO of Infrastructure Capital Advisors. “Inflation in one area drives inflation in another.” Currently, the CPI reports all food categories are increasing in price other than fresh vegetables. Last year, the beef and veal categories had the most significant price increase of 9.3%, and the fresh vegetable category had the smallest at 1.1%. However, no food categories decreased in price in 2021. Poultry prices are also expected to increase up to 7%, with egg prices predicted to increase up to 3.5% in 2022. Overall, grocery store and supermarket food purchases are expected to increase up to 4%, with restaurant purchases or food away from home forecasted to increase up to 6.5%, according to the USDA.

Fire out as Russia seizes Europe’s largest nuclear plant A fire is out at Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant as Russian forces have taken control of Europe’s largest nuclear site. Officials said Friday the fire that started in the training center of the facility has been extinguished, with Russian troops taking over after an intense day of fighting, Reuters reported. “Personnel are on their working places providing normal operation of the station,” an official told the news outlet. The fire and damage that occurred were believed to be started by a Russian projectile, Rafael Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said. The official told Reuters he has no control over the potential radiation issues from the plant, no communication with the plant’s managers or any oversight after the Russian seizure. Russia is falsely blaming Ukraine for the fire at the facility and also said the site is running normally, according to Reuters. It is the second nuclear win for Russia during the fighting after forces seized the old Chernobyl nuclear plant at the beginning of the invasion. Zaporizhzhia only has one reactor working around 60 percent capacity currently, Reuters noted. Ukraine has one of the world’s largest nuclear fleets that includes four power plants and 15 reactors that provide about half of the country’s power. The country, however, houses no nuclear weapons. The Hill has removed its comment section, as there are many other forums for readers to participate in the conversation. We invite you to join the discussion on Facebook and Twitter.

It was a momentous day for property developer, Fraser Millar, as they completed the handover of the first home in their flagship £70M Lancaster Park development – the largest certified Passivhaus residential project in the whole of the UK and Ireland. May Lee and her family have moved into 1 Lancaster Park and say it delivers everything they were looking for their young family; built to Passivhaus low energy building standard with clean air filtration system and a fully electric heating system, meaning a reduction in bills and a healthier living experience for the family. It is close to the City centre, on the main bus route, adjacent to excellent schools and in a safe, green area. The Lancaster Park development will span 219 houses across 26 acres and is the first developer-lead Passiv Haus scheme in Northern Ireland for the buying public bringing the future of housebuilding into the current day. The project has set the standards for Northern Ireland’s greener future in construction and domestic living. The first 21 homes in Phase One sold out in one hour and will complete weekly from 1 April 2022. They will consist a range of three and four-bedroom, semi-detached and detached family homes. Phase Two is currently in construction and will be on release very soon. The Passiv Haus LEB homes have all been built with rigorous design and construction practices according to principles developed by the Passivhaus Institute in Germany. They all feature enhanced insulation and airtight sealing, alongside electric Nilan Compact P air source heat systems and will be the first large-scale residential development with an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) A rating, meaning optimum energy efficiency, unrivalled in any other development of its size in Northern Ireland. The homes will require almost no heating, no reliance on fossil fuels and will have cleaner air inside than out. Home heating costs will be consistently showing savings of approximately 40% against more traditional oil or gas systems, for the average home, per annum (based on current NI fuel prices). The way the houses are designed and built eradicates the reliance on fossil fuels for the home-owner. Developer David Millar said: “This is a momentous day and one in which the Millar family, our dedicated construction team, design staff and partners at the Passivhaus Institute in Germany are delighted to see – and I thank them all for their hard work and dedication to this project over the past 2.5 years. “Lancaster Park has been very well received to-date and to see our first purchaser move in is a brilliant feeling. “Fraser Millar has embraced absolute best-practice and the gold standard in home building in this exciting new development. The homes required a completely different style and method of build, to the exacting Passiv Haus standards, very different than we have been used to for the past 50 years. It took longer and was more expensive, however, the additional costs were not passed onto the buyer. It has been a complete education and has allowed us to adopt best practise for the entire company moving forward.” Homes built to Passivhaus standards can consume up to 90 per cent less energy than older buildings and 75 per cent less energy than the average new build. This is because they only need an additional heating source when the weather is very cold. In the summer months, an automatic summer bypass will actively reduce the temperature inside the house to comfortable levels. As well as the obvious financial savings for homeowners gained from slashing utility bills, Passivhaus building methods will help governments meet emissions-reduction targets, especially in the construction industry. According to a recent United Nations study, sustainable house building will help meet the World Green Building Council’s aim of achieving complete carbon neutrality in home buildings by 2050. David concluded: “We are proud to be setting the standards for Northern Ireland’s greener future in construction and domestic living. We wish Mrs Lee and her entire family the happiest and healthiest of futures in her new home.” Simon Brien, partner at Simon Brien Residential continued: “Today is a landmark day for Fraser Miller and indeed us as the selling agents. “Homes in Lancaster Park are not only contemporary, attractive and practical, but are also built to a rigorous energy efficient design standard and are a first of their kind in Northern Ireland. “This innovative development will not only create low-energy homes but are at the forefront of a global green movement. These homes are well sought-after and will deliver significant savings in energy costs for home owners which is of paramount importance in the current climate and for the future. Simon Brien concluded: “Phase One sold out on the first day of release today marks the first family moving in with further completions scheduled over the next few weeks. The next release at Lancaster Park will be in late Spring and there is already exceptional demand.” Located just 15 minutes from Belfast city centre, near the Saintfield Road, the second release of Lancaster Park’s Passivhaus project will be announced soon and will feature PV solar panels, as standard, to further reduce the homeowners’ energy bills.

FRESNO, Calif., March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The State of California recently launched its TECH Clean California initiative which is a $120 million program funded by California gas corporations to implement low emissions space and water heating units for single and multifamily homes. For some homeowners considering a new air conditioning system, this California rebate can save them up to $7,000. Unlike solar incentives that require the homeowner to apply for the incentive with the State of California after the system is installed, the homeowner realizes the savings upfront with the TECH Clean California Initiative. The HVAC company that installs the system is then required to apply for reimbursement with the State. To qualify, an electric heating and cooling unit must be installed by an approved HVAC company. Simon DeLaCerda, General Manager of Valley Air Conditioning and Repair has been installing these systems upon the launch and states, "I am pleased to offer the opportunity, we've seen incredible savings for homeowners and urge other homeowners to take advantage of this amazing deal". The Switch Is On, is an educational campaign that has been launched to promote the TECH initiative and the benefits of home electrification. Learn more about the campaign through their site.

(The Center Square) – Legislation giving only vaccinated school staff the benefit of taking COVID-related sick time as administrative leave rather than sick time could soon head to the governor's desk. A measure similar to House Bill 1167 originally passed the General Assembly last year only to be met with a veto by Gov. J.B. Pritzker. Pritzker vetoed House Bill 2778 in January and then put his support behind the idea that a new bill should be done to only benefit vaccinated school staff. Senate President Don Harmon, D-Oak Park, explained the bill's journey up until this point. "The governor sent back his veto with a message to the General Assembly suggesting that we take this course instead," Harmon said. "This bill embodies that veto message and deals with both paid administrative leave and sick leave for teachers." If signed by the governor, vaccinated school staff would be eligible for paid sick leave for COVID-related absences. However, unvaccinated employees will not. "We are going to allow pay concessions for sick days for those teachers who have been vaccinated only," said state Sen. Jil Tracy, R-Quincy. "This only applies to vaccinated individuals." Opponents of the measure argued the bill is the governor and his administration trying to enforce the COVID-19 vaccine mandate on schools. "This is trying to put the vaccine mandate into law," said Senate Minority Leader Dan McConchie, R-Hawthorn Woods. "The governor has tried many ways to have a vaccine mandate and he's been struck down by the courts and otherwise, this is just another way of the governor trying to enforce a vaccine mandate." Harmon countered that. "This is not a vaccine mandate," Harmon said. "There is no requirement that one needs to be vaccinated to work in public schools. It is, however, an incentive." There are also provisions in the measure giving retroactive time to vaccinated staff who previously took time off because of COVID-19 issues and guarantees pay for workers like bus drivers if schools have to shut down because of a COVID-19 outbreak. The measure found bipartisan opposition, but secured enough votes to pass both chambers and could now be sent to the governor.

Why trashing of BBI is a truly supreme decision What you need to know: - Chief Justice Martha Koome and six of her colleagues have ruled that the BBI was unconstitutional. - At a glance, the verdict is that the basic structure proposed by the BBI is not applicable to Kenya. The Supreme Court has, in a landmark verdict, finally put an end to the contentious Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) that has, for quite some time, split the country down the middle. Chief Justice Martha Koome and six of her colleagues have ruled that the BBI was unconstitutional, upholding the verdicts of the High Court and the Court of Appeal that nullified the Constitutional Amendment Bill 2020. The other members of the Bench were Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu and Judges Mohamed Ibrahim, Njoki Ndung’u, Isaack Lenaola, Smokin Wanjala and William Ouko, all knowledgeable and experienced legal minds. This is, indeed, a sound ruling as the judges exhaustively dealt with all the issues raised and given their considered verdict. However, as there are two camps that have been keenly waiting for this decision, it will be seen as a victory for one and a big loss for the other. President Uhuru Kenyatta and his “Handshake” ally, Azimio la Umoja coalition presidential candidate Raila Odinga, will be smarting from this final nail driven into the BBI coffin. On the other side of the political divide, their main opponents, Kenya Kwanza Alliance, led by Deputy President William Ruto, the flagbearer in the August 9 general election, savour victory. But this need not be the case. This is a matter that has been handled through a cogent process and whose verdict should, in fact, be lauded as a confirmation of the independence of the Judiciary. This is not the time to ridicule the losers — though the supposedly victorious camp might try to use it to boost its election campaigns. What is not in doubt, though, is that this decision is good for the country as it demonstrates that the third arm of government is solid and committed to its constitutional mandate of dispensing justice. This is why the Supreme Court decision has generally been received with delight. At a glance, the verdict is that the basic structure proposed by the BBI is not applicable to Kenya. That the President is not an ordinary citizen and, therefore, cannot initiate a popular amendment of the Constitution, and, thus, the BBI was unconstitutional. The judges also rejected the proposed creation of 70 constituencies, citing lack of public participation. Public participation On one of the most contentious issues, six of the seven judges ruled that the President cannot lead a popular initiative to amend the Constitution. Three held that President Kenyatta was actually the promoter of the BBI constitutional amendments, two said he was not and one abstained. But the judges also affirmed that civil proceedings cannot be initiated against a sitting President and that the IEBC had no obligation to ensure that the BBI promoters complied with the public participation requirement. Interestingly, they agreed that, with only three commissioners out of seven, the IEBC had quorum and that the time was not ripe to determine whether a referendum should have multiple questions. It is obvious that this Supreme Court verdict is going to have a major impact on the coming elections, the next government, and politics as a whole. It is a reminder that the Constitution, the various laws, rules and regulations must always be upheld in making decisions that affect the public. The 2010 Constitution guarantees public participation in decision-making, which those who have attempted to ignore in the recent past have been starkly reminded about by the courts, which have soundly rejected such decisions. The clear message from this is that whatever the leaders desire to do must resonate with the people and that they must at all times involve them in making those decisions. Going forward, right from the grassroots to the national level, public participation forums must be organised before reaching a decision on matters that affect the people. But the fact that the BBI has been trashed does not necessarily mean that everything in it was bad or it should be rejected in toto. The only problem was the way it was done, which the judges, right from the High Court, found unconstitutional. This matter has preoccupied the minds of Kenyans for far too long and, with the verdict finally in, they should be left to go on with their lives as they tackle their pressing socioeconomic problems and prepare for the elections. The country should now put this matter behind it and go into the preparations for the elections without any encumbrances.

Oscars producer says police offered to arrest Will Smith LOS ANGELES (AP) — Oscars producer Will Packer said Los Angeles police were ready to arrest Will Smith after Smith slapped Chris Rock on the Academy Awards stage. “They were saying, you know, this is battery, was a word they used in that moment,” Packer said in a clip released by ABC News Thursday night of an interview he gave to “Good Morning America.” “They said we will go get him. We are prepared. We’re prepared to get him right now. You can press charges, we can arrest him. They were laying out the options.” But Packer said Rock was “very dismissive” of the idea. “He was like, ‘No, no, no, I’m fine,” Packer said. “And even to the point where I said, ‘Rock, let them finish.’ The LAPD officers finished laying out what his options were and they said, ‘Would you like us to take any action?’ And he said no.” The LAPD said in a statement after Sunday night’s ceremony that they were aware of the incident, and that Rock had declined to file a police report. The department declined comment Thursday on Packer’s interview, a longer version of which will air on Friday morning. The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences met Wednesday to initiate disciplinary proceedings against Smith for violations against the group’s standards of conduct. Smith could be suspended, expelled or otherwise sanctioned. The academy said in a statement that “Mr. Smith’s actions at the 94th Oscars were a deeply shocking, traumatic event to witness in-person and on television.” Without giving specifics, the academy said Smith was asked to leave the ceremony at the Dolby Theatre, but refused to do so. Smith strode from his front row seat on to the stage and slapped Rock after a joke Rock made about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, when he was on stage to present the Oscar for best documentary. On Monday, Smith issued an apology to Rock, the academy and to viewers, saying “I was out of line and I was wrong.” The academy said Smith has the opportunity to defend himself in a written response before the board meets again on April 18. Rock publicly addressed the incident for the first time, but only briefly, at the beginning of a standup show Wednesday night in Boston, where he was greeted by a thunderous standing ovation. He said “I’m still kind of processing what happened.” ___ Follow AP Entertainment Writer Andrew Dalton on Twitter: https://twitter.com/andyjamesdalton Copyright 2022 The Associated Press.

LA Rams & Bobby Wagner Agree to Five-Year Contract Bobby Wagner is staying in the NFC West. As Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports, Wagner has agreed to a five-year, $50 million contract with the Los Angeles Rams. I can confirm that ILB Bobby Wagner is signing with the Rams, per source w/knowledge (first reported by @RSherman_25 ). — Jourdan Rodrigue (@JourdanRodrigue) March 31, 2022 It's a five-year deal, source said. The deal is reportedly worth up to $65 million with incentives. The 31-year-old also received interest from the Baltimore Ravens, before ultimately signing on with the defending Super Bowl champs. A six-time All-Pro with the Seattle Seahawks, Wagner was cut by the club on March 8, the same day Seattle shipped star quarterback Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos. The 10-year-vet joins an elite Rams defense that features the likes of All-Pros Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey. It’s the latest big-time addition by general manager Les Snead, following LA’s recent signing of free-agent wide receiver Allen Robinson. Set to turn 32 in June, Wagner proved he still has plenty left in the tank after recording a career-high 170 tackles this past season. FanDuel Sportsbook currently has the Rams at +1100 odds to repeat as Super Bowl Champions.

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — A $64.1 billion supplemental state budget that spends on statewide programs ranging from homelessness and behavioral health to the ongoing COVID-19 response was signed Thursday by Washington Gov. Jay Inslee. The supplemental plan builds off of the $59 billion, two-year spending plan adopted by the Legislature last year, and benefited from the significant influx of revenues the state has seen over the past year. Additionally, lawmakers used more than $1 billion in remaining pandemic-related federal relief funds in the budget. More than $800 million is allocated for homelessness and housing, including $50 million to transition unhoused people from unsanctioned camps to housing. Inslee specifically called out the efforts on addressing homelessness, saying that lawmakers “gave us relief that is big, that is bold, and that is fast.” While there are no general tax increases in the plan, there are also no across-the-board tax cuts, something Republicans had argued for throughout the legislative session that ended March 10. “It’s been easy to explain to my constituents why Republicans opposed this budget – all I have to do is point to how the costs of living have continued to rise in the weeks since it was adopted, and the huge revenue surplus the Democrats had available,“ Republican Sen. Lynda Wilson said in a statement. A small business tax credit was included that would affect about 125,000 small businesses in the state, and was among the bills signed by Inslee Thursday. Starting in January, businesses making less than $125,000 a year would pay no state business taxes, and those making up to $250,000 a year, business taxes will be cut in half. The supplemental operating budget also spends state or federal money on things like adding more social supports like nurses and counselors for students, increasing rates to vendors providing services to people with developmental disabilities or long-term care needs and shoring up the state’s paid family leave program, which officials warned was nearing a deficit. It also allots funding for raises for state workers. According to the Office of Financial Management, about 63,800 general government employees will get a 3.25% general wage increase, about 6,700 state corrections workers will get a 4% general wage increase and about 1,200 state patrol officers will get a 10% general wage increase. The last general wage increase for represented employees was July 1, 2020. The operating budget also transfers more than $2 billion to the nearly $17 billion, 16-year transportation revenue package that Inslee signed last week. The plan leaves about $3 billion in total reserves. Inslee had several full or partial vetoes of bills, including a section of a bill that would have expanded the state’s existing warehouse sales and use tax to include smaller warehouses of at least 100,000 square feet. In his veto notice, Inslee said that while he understood the importance of manufacturing and warehousing to rural economies, he said the tax incentives in the bill were overly broad. Inslee on Thursday also signed a $1.5 billion state construction budget that spends on areas ranging from housing, homelessness, behavioral health facilities, and seismic upgrades at public schools.

•Inaugurates Curves’ Fitness Center Wife of the Governor of Ondo State, Chief Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, has declared that Nigerian women have transcended mundanity. The Governor’s wife said this on Thursday during the official opening of Curves Facility, at Plot 259, Etim Iyang Crescent, Victoria Island, Lagos State. She said: “When women converge in a typical African setting, they are rarely taken seriously. They are seen, at best, by ordinary minds, as folks who merely gather to chatter about mundane things. “But those who hold this puerile viewpoint about women should rather be woken from slumber because the status and standing of Nigerian women have in fact transcended mundanity.” Mrs Akeredolu who was a Special Guest of Honour at the grand opening of the ladies-only fitness centre, said women are now taking rightful places in social, economic and political leadership, and are winning as mentors, captains and coaches. In her words: “Nigerian women have moved the goal post and fast taking the lead with profound ideas at all fronts. Even in the face of daunting patriarchal inhibitions, women are creating spaces for themselves, against all odds- in the boardrooms and on the policy-making tables. Women are winning as mentors, captains and coaches. They are now taking rightful places in social, economic and political leadership.” While describing physical fitness as a state of health, well-being and the ability to perform aspects of sports, occupations and rigorous daily activities, the First Lady noted that fitness is a matter of lifestyle for her. “Physical fitness is a state of health and well-being. More specifically, it is the ability to perform aspects of sports, occupations and rigorous daily activities. It is generally achieved through proper nutrition, moderate-vigorous physical exercise, and sufficient rest along with a formal recovery plan, and it comes with vast health benefits. “Apart from being a public health practitioner, I’m a fitness enthusiast who holds firmly the belief that women should prioritise physical exercise in order to live well and live long. I am also a consummate jogger who jogs as a form of physical exercise,” the First Lady noted. Chief Anyanwu-Akeredolu who performed the ribbon cutting to mark the official opening of the fitness facility, lauded the Curves International for its tenacity. She implored women and girls to take advantage of the opportunity that the facility offers to keep healthy and happy. “As I commend the Curves International for its tenacity in this tortuous journey to keep our women physically and mentally fit, I would like to encourage women and girls to take advantage of the opportunity that the Curves offers to keep healthy and happy; To prove to the world that, again, women have converged to win through fitness.” She said. Meanwhile, the Ag South Africa’s Consul General to Nigeria, Mrs Busisiwe Dlamini, in her remarks, appreciated Curves International for prioritising women’s physical fitness. She however stressed the need for women to network towards achieving social and economic development for Nigerian women. Among those who attended the programme were former General Manager of Zenith Bank, Bukky Latunji, FICA, Managing Director, Diva Cakes, Mrs Genia Okafor, Assistant General Manager of Zenith Bank, Mrs Mabel Eboigbe, CEO Curves Drive, Mrs Stella Eze, the Curves’ Franchisee for Victoria Island, Mr Emmanuel Esinnah, and Curves’ fitness instructor, Ms Esther Ugbobor.

Dionne Warwick and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's Krayzie Bone will announce the charity NFTs via a live-stream event on Justice Day, April 15th. NEW YORK , March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Confront Art, an organization that produces social justice art installations, has rallied a diverse group of artists, designers, and activists to create a charity NFT campaign launching on April 15 to honor Justice Day. Confront Art will release 9,000 NFTs on mintNFT.com with proceeds supporting the prospective charities: We Are Floyd Org., The Breonna Taylor Foundation, and The John and Lilian Miles Lewis Foundation. The NFT project is an extension of Confront Art's 'SEEINJUSTICE' series, which debuted three powerful sculptures by artist Chris Carnabuci of John Lewis, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd at New York City's Union Square in wake of the events in 2020. Justice Day is designed to be an open platform to engage and inspire artists, activists and thinkers to collaborate and co-create together. Justice Day will honor and commemorate the Civil Rights Act of 1968, which passed the first federal hate crime laws in the United States prohibiting individuals from injuring, intimidating, or interfering with any person because of race, color, religion, or national origin. With widespread support Justice Day will be considered eligible to become a National Holiday by 2023. "My brother's death was a catalyst for change," says Terrence Floyd, Founder of We Are Floyd Org. "We cannot let that change, and that momentum slow. There is still a huge divide in this country, and if we can start on a community level, creating educational opportunities and safe spaces for the youth to gather and learn, then we can create change and hope where there once was a void." Dionne Warwick, American singer, former TV host, and Goodwill ambassador will announce her support and participation in the NFT project on the live-streamed event. Warwick has agreed to include selections of her latest single 'Power in the Name' featuring Krayzie Bone in the NFT. "I'm thrilled to be using this new NFT technology to raise awareness and funds for social justice programs." said Warwick. "Using song to shine light on charity is not new to me, with We Are The World in 1985 we raised an incredible amount of money and awareness, and now I'm excited to be part of the SEEINJUSTICE campaign, using art and song in new ways to move forward progress and change." "We are constantly looking for innovative ways to support artists and charities," said Andrew Cohen & Lindsay Eshelman, Co-Founders of Confront Art. "We are excited to bring together entertainment legends and emerging artists alike for a major movement for social justice and charity in the metaverse." The campaign aims to celebrate, support, and promote diverse emerging NFT artists. The artists participating in the NFT project include LÁOLÚ NYC, Jesse Uranta, JOJO ABOT, Izzakko, Denny Ow, Sasha Bianca, Menyelek, Milana Burdette, SuperWAXX, Q. Oliver, Candace Dane and more. The live-stream and NFTs will be available exclusively on mintNFT, a new platform that aims to provide users with a simple, safe, and social experience with NFTs. From automated wallet creation to accepting credit cards, users do not need to be crypto-fluent to participate. Additionally, unique videos that are part of the smart contract not only showcase the creation story of the NFT but ensure buyers the NFT they are purchasing is authentic. "NFTs are all about community building, but those communities cannot grow if people think engaging in NFTs will be too difficult or you need to have crypto. Projects like this one are too important to have barriers like that in place," said James Sun, Founder and CEO of mintNFT. "We're grateful to play a role to help break those barriers down so that all people can fully engage in a project that uplifts multicultural artists' voices and benefits these valuable charities." Users are encouraged to utilize the Discord server (@SEEINJUSTICE) as a discussion forum. About We Are Floyd Org. WE ARE FLOYD is a 501C3 led by Terrence Floyd, George Floyd's brother. We Are Floyd supports initiatives to help communities dealing with mental health issues, poverty, police brutality, and social injustice. In the name of George Floyd, We Are Floyd partners with existing community-centric organizations, bringing awareness to issues surrounding underserved communities, highlighting the lack of educational programs, and promoting change and progress.

Ukrainian operator says employees at seized nuclear plant are working at ‘gunpoint’ The operator of the Ukrainian power plant that was captured by Russians on Friday said the employees of the facility are now working at “gunpoint.” The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant was seized by Russia and a fire was extinguished at the facility in its training center. Petro Kotin, the head of the state-owned nuclear power site in Energoatom, said in a Telegram post that Russian troops “entered the territory of the nuclear power plant, took control of the personnel and management of the nuclear power plant,” CNN reported. Staff “were admitted in the morning to perform their duties” but the company has not been given any communication with employees, with Kotin gathering information from sources inside the facility. “The station management works at invaders’ gunpoint,” Kotin said, according to CNN. Russia has falsely blamed Ukraine for the attack on the facility and says it is operating normally. Officials say there have been no changes in radiation amid the fighting, including the International Atomic Energy Agency’s director general, Rafael Mariano Grossi. Only one reactor is currently working at around 60 percent capacity. Russia also captured the Chernobyl nuclear plant last week. Ukraine has one of the world’s largest nuclear fleets: Four power plants and 15 reactors provide about half of the country’s power. The country, however, houses no nuclear weapons. The Hill has removed its comment section, as there are many other forums for readers to participate in the conversation. We invite you to join the discussion on Facebook and Twitter.

The sound of race cars at the Chicagoland Speedway will, once again, be silent this season. But next season? It’s possible that professional motorsports returns to the oval. Joliet Mayor Bob O’Dekirk joined the Afternoon Rush to speak of the future of Chicagoland. Officials with the City of Joliet and NASCAR met a month and a half ago to discuss the future of the property. NASCAR is looking to lessen its footprint with several tracks, Chicagoland included, and presented several possibilities in order to do so. O’Dekirk said the only way the city would get serious is if there is commitment to racing at the facility on the city’s south side. While the track remains dormant of any sports activity, there are still plenty of positions being filled to keep the track in shape, for when the sanctioning body decides to either return to the facility as is, or decide to redesign the 1.5 mile oval This comes on the heels of NASCAR officials meeting with the City of Chicago to design a street course, currently used on popular racing simulator program iRacing, for possible use for a potential street race through Grant Park, utilizing DuSable Lake Shore Drive and Michigan Avenue. While the street course is still not off the table, it’s possible that NASCAR could decide to run the street course and still have a Cup Series date at Chicagoland. In the meeting with NASCAR, officials said that the Joliet facility still is in the long term plans for racing. Currently, the facility is home for hundreds of vehicles waiting their semiconductor chips.

(The Center Square) – The Illinois Republican party is calling out Gov. J.B. Pritzker following a new television ad attacking gubernatorial candidate and Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin. The Democratic Governors Association (DGA) is running television ads that criticize Irvin’s time as a defense attorney, and the fact that he represented criminals in court. Irvin served as a defense attorney before he became a prosecutor. “Tell Mayor Richard Irvin: Stop pretending to be tough on crime,” a voice says in the ad. "Start supporting policies that keep people safe." Four years ago, the DGA also bought TV ads during the Bruce Rauner-Jeannie Ives primary race, which Rauner won. During a news conference Thursday, House Minority Leader Rep. Jim Durkin, R-Western Springs, didn’t mince words. “Instead of being a man and putting his name on these false attacks, Governor Pritzker chooses to hide behind political insider groups by forcing them to meddle into the GOP primary on his behalf,” Durkin said. The primary where Irvin is in a field of several other Republicans vying for the GOP nomination is June 28. Illinois Republicans have made crime a focal point of the campaign over the past several months, especially since Pritzker signed into law several controversial criminal justice measures pushed by the Legislative Black Caucus, including police accountability measures and the end of cash bail. State Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris, said Pritzker can hide behind the DGA, but he can’t hide behind his dangerous record on public safety. “The simple truth is that Pritzker is weak and he knows it,” Rezin said. “He knows he can’t match Richard’s strong record when it comes to crime and his support of law enforcement.” Political ads for gubernatorial candidates are ramping up in Illinois, with the DGA reportedly buying $3 million worth of advertisements. According to Politico, Pritzker donated $250,000 to the DGA in December. State Sen. Darren Bailey, R-Xenia, who was one of the first to declare his candidacy for the GOP nomination, bought his first TV campaign ads this week. Irvin has been running ads for several weeks with the support of billionaire GOP booster Ken Griffin.

NEW YORK, March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Football Business Awards (FBA), considered the industry's foremost and prestigious accolade, has shortlisted TECNO's #AnnounceYourself Augmented Reality (AR) Campaign for the 2022 Best Brand Activation Involving Football. Blending the most advanced AR immersive technology, a storied club and the aspirations of football fans all over the world, the #AnnounceYourself campaign was a runaway success, catching the eyes of many football executives and professionals all around the world. Into its 10th year, the FBA celebrates the vital role that clubs and businesses play shaping the football industry, and enabling every game to be a success, both on and off the pitch. It recognizes outstanding successes such as excellence in football media, marketing efficiency, as well as business and technology innovation. With an illustrious judging panel selected for their particular experience and expertise, the FBA has grown into a significant annual networking event in the industry. In the capacity of being Manchester City's Global Official Handset Partner, TECNO created a metaverse-like experience for fans to interact with the club set in Man City. This AR experience saw fans journeying through the club, in a simulated reality akin to a football metaverse. From visiting the Etihad Stadium and Man City Football Academy training campus, to signing a new contract, selecting their squad number, and mingling with first-team players, the AR campaign accorded football fans a ticket to live out their dreams supporting their favorite club. Users could also take part in the 3D penalty shootout games before showing off their skills and scores on social media. The AR experience campaign culminated in a grand lucky draw where lucky contestants won rare VIP matchday tickets and travel to a Manchester City home fixture during the season. This campaign received recognition from the judging panel behind the FBA because it reflects a turning point in how technology can be integrated into our passions and to utilize platforms such as AR to unite fans and allow them to share common experiences, such as playing football or supporting a club. With this AR campaign, TECNO has not only demonstrated the far-reaching effects of utilizing sports marketing but also worked to cement the brand's presence on the global stage. This reflects TECNO's mission as a technology company to bring to consumers, an innovative brand experience through cutting-edge technology and marketing. The FBAs were designed to celebrate excellence and acknowledge success in the business of football. The Awards recognize the essential role that business plays in football, the positive impact of football on the community and the vital role played by the businesses which serve the game. This is the event at which all the achievements off the pitch are celebrated at the end of each year. With an illustrious judging panel selected for their particular experience and expertise, the FBA has grown into a significant annual networking event in the industry. With "Stop At Nothing" as its brand essence, TECNO is committed to unlocking the best contemporary technologies for progressive individuals across global emerging markets, giving them elegantly designed intelligent products that inspire consumers to uncover a world of possibilities.

When naming, shaming should not be done and other stories of the moment What you need to know: - We did not name the plagiarist because, in ethical journalism, we try to minimise harm to the people we report about. - Baraza JM left more or less of his own volition for reasons that have nothing to do with plagiarism. Harrison Kinyanjui writes to say, correctly, that it’s customary and courteous for newspapers to inform readers of changes to their favourite columns. “Only recently, I read of the exit of columnist Mariga Thoithi, he of the “ManTalk” column in the Saturday Nation. After failing to read Baraza JM on two consecutive Wednesdays, I concluded that I might have missed the memo on his new abode, in case he has bolted. Do we have a new ‘Baraza’ yet?” Carlos Kamau also asks why we did not name a columnist who was detected by a reader as having plagiarised some of his articles and was subsequently discontinued (See “Why plagiarism in journalism is a sin which cannot be washed away”, Daily Nation, February 25, 2022). “Now, being in the business of poking its nose in everyone’s business, why doesn’t the Nation lead from the front and publish the names (of plagiarists)?” he asks while correctly guessing who the columnist was. “The reason I inquire is that I don’t want to believe the other was Baraza JM, my go-to for all of 10 years, but who nevertheless disappeared at the same time.” Mr Baraza left more or less of his own volition for reasons that have nothing to do with plagiarism. He was a good creative writer. We did not name the plagiarist because, in ethical journalism, we try to minimise harm to the people we report about. Naming — and therefore publicly shaming — him was not necessary, nor would it have improved or advanced my story, which was essentially not about him but the dangers of plagiarism. The lesson here is that journalists should always balance the public’s need to know against the potential harm or discomfort they may cause the subject they write about. *** Many readers liked the Nation headline “Do they even care? (Daily Nation, March 25, 2022). Short, crisp and to the point. The kind of headline that editorialises the news it covers. “It’s a plea to our government leaders and those seeking leadership ranks that they should have a mindful heart about the common mwananchi who sacrifices his or her own time to attend rallies and vote for them,” Jonathan Salasya writes. “They should restrategise priorities and save the lives of those dying of hunger.” Ulf Aschan says it was the best headline. “This is exactly what we all are asking: Do they even care? Kenya is suffering a monumental humanitarian crisis and all our leaders can think of is strutting around the country in their helicopters trying to gather votes.” George Michuki says it was spot-on and made him proud of his newspaper of choice. “It made me think of the faces and effort behind what we read. Well done, Sila Kiplagat and Florah Koech and others who were involved in the writing of that piece and speaking for many who are so helpless in the face of adversity... I congratulate the Daily Nation for standing up for what is right and being on the right side of history — putting the public interest at the heart of journalism.” *** Some readers were upset by Prof Makau Mutua’s latest opinion article (“Why William Ruto is totally unfit to be President of Kenya”, Sunday Nation, March 27, 2022). John Mukiri says readers who support the “Hustler Nation” are not happy. “Please save us from more of such columns,” he writes. Former Nation journalist Mohamed Warsama says the Nation should cease Makau Mutua’s obsessive articles on Deputy President William Ruto: “There is nothing new he can tell us about Ruto that he hasn’t penned every weekend over the years.” He suggests that the full-page opinion should have been a sponsored content page (advertisement). Unlike in Prof Mutua’s past articles about the DP, this time there was full disclosure. The credentials at the bottom of the article said, after his academic titles, that he is the “Spokesperson of the Raila Odinga Presidential Campaign Secretariat and head of its think tank”. Maybe that line should have come first in the order of the credentials. Affiliations can sometimes be more meaningful than academic titles in helping a reader to assess the credibility of a writer.

USDA forecasting higher food, grocery costs in 2022 (Gray News) - It looks like elevated food prices are going to continue this year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The USDA released its Food Price Outlook for 2022 and predicted the cost of groceries would continue to increase to as much as 4%. According to the Consumer Price Index, grocery and supermarket food prices were already 8.6% higher in February than last year and up nearly 1.5% from January to February in 2022. As reported by the Associated Press, prices for U.S. consumers have continued to jump recently, leaving families facing the highest inflation rate since 1990. “We’re getting into this situation where we have spiraling inflation,” said Jay Hatfield, CEO of Infrastructure Capital Advisors. “Inflation in one area drives inflation in another.” Currently, the CPI reports all food categories are increasing in price other than fresh vegetables.

Packers' Robert Tonyan Ahead of Schedule in ACL Recovery According to Wes Hodkiewicz of packers.com, tight end, Robert Tonyan is ahead of schedule in his recovery from a torn ACL. Having suffered the injury in Week 8 of last year, the Packers hope Tonyan can return in the early portion of the 2022 season. The 28-year-old enjoyed a career year in 2020, hauling in 52 passes for 586 yards and 11 touchdowns. However, his production dipped this past season, finding the end zone just twice in his eight appearances. Despite this, the club re-signed Tonyan to a one-year deal this offseason. Packers head coach Matt LaFleur attributed Tonyan’s dropoff to a decline in opportunities. But, with Green Bay having lost Davante Adams and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, the Indiana State alum could be in line for a bounce-back campaign. “I think there’s still a lot of room for growth in his game,” said LaFleur. “Getting a guy that is the way he works, how intelligent he is, that’s great for us. Certainly, he’s got a rapport with Aaron, which is a big deal, as well. Excited to have him back on our team.” FanDuel Sportsbook has Green Bay at +1100 odds to win Super Bowl LVII.

BOSTON (AP) — After a 15-year career in which he etched his name on the Stanley Cup and the Vezina Trophy, Tuukka Rask is focusing now on avoiding the rink. “Don’t even go there. Not yet,” the retired Bruins goalie said Thursday night when asked if his daughters had taken up hockey. “They’re into dance and whatnot. If I have to go and spend my days at hockey rinks, so be it. But not really at the top of my list.” A two-time All-Star, and the winner of the 2014 Vezina as the NHL’s top goalie, Rask announced his retirement last month after a setback in his attempt to come back from a torn labrum in his hip. The Bruins invited him back to drop the ceremonial first puck before Thursday night’s game against the New Jersey Devils, and again – perhaps for the last time – the chants of “Tuuuuk!” echoed through the TD Garden. Rask took the ice with his wife, and their three daughters dressed for a ballet class. He bumped fists with the players on the Bruins bench while both teams tapped their sticks on the ice to salute him. “I don’t know what the future holds,” Rask told reporters beforehand, saying that he would be showing up at games and golf outings as a team ambassador. “Maybe I’ll get into coaching. Maybe not, but for now, I’ll be hanging out with sponsors.” The franchise’s all-time leader in wins, Rask helped the Bruins allow the fewest goals in the NHL in the pandemic-interrupted 2019-20 season, when Boston finished with the most points in the league. He injured his hip during the 2021 playoffs and worked his way back to the team midway through this season. But after just four starts, he aggravated his injury on Jan. 24 against the Anaheim Ducks. Two weeks later, he announced he was through. “It was kind of time to be honest with yourself,” he said. “I just figured it was better for everybody to call it. I had a great career. No regrets.” While his hip still has some good days, Rask said no one could talk him out of retirement. His immediate future will involve as much golf as he can squeeze in between shuttling his daughters to dance class and school. He may need a hip replacement at some point. “It was at a point where it affected my everyday life,” Rask said. “I’m a guy who makes pretty quick decisions, anyway. So I wasn’t dwelling on it too long.” Rask was 308-165-66 with a 2.28 goals-against average and .921 save percentage in a franchise-leading 564 games. He was the backup goalie for the Bruins team that won it all in 2011, and he led the team to Stanley Cup Final appearances in 2013 and ’19. Although coaching is not in his plans, Rask said he would be available if Bruins goalie Jeremy Swayman wants him. “I told him right after I retired: Tell me if you need anything,” Rask said. “Just make sure you don’t get too high or too low.” — More AP NHL: https://apnews.com/hub/nhl and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports

Since 2007 it was declared that Taco Day would be every March 31, it was agreed to celebrate this date due to the cultural and above all gastronomic importance that tacos have in Mexican life. It is enough to go outside on a Friday night to see the diversity of stalls that offer this delicacy to all those who come to the party or who simply want to pamper their palate. Although it is now common to eat gut tacos, sausage, barbeque, suadero, shepherd, birria, carnitas and countless other recipes, in pre-Hispanic times (the period in which this food was born) they were tasted with rabbit meat, ducks, roosters, hares, deer, quail and even wild boars, as stated by the Cultural Information System of Government of Mexico. Users on social networks did not leave aside the historical importance of this food and from a very early age they began to post various and funny memes about Taco Day. There was everything from those who compared going out to a taqueria with a romantic date, to those who claimed that their money told them that they wanted to be spent on tacos. On the other hand, the cheesy ones were not lacking and they also shared tender images that compare the relationship of taco and salsa (inseparable par excellence) with that of a love relationship. Similarly, it can be argued that there is a certain dependence between this stew and lemon, another inseparable duo. Because this dish has conquered the hearts and above all the tastes of many Mexicans and foreigners, Taco Day soon became a popular celebration in which not only food is enjoyed, but also recognized as one of the most symbolic and characteristic elements for the society that lives in the territory. What would humanity be without the gastronomic delights that delight all the senses? The sensation that a Mexican feels when taking his first bite of a taco can be compared to the experience he has when doing an activity that is very enjoyed or seeing the idol of our dreams, in fact, there was no shortage of Internet users who linked taquizas with art. This image perfectly represents the feeling that people have when they know that they are about to have a good shepherd, it is undoubtedly something comparable to an artistic experience. It should be noted that credit is not only for the delicacy, since it could not be realized or carried out satisfactorily without the hard work of all the taqueros who make it possible. For this reason, some people took advantage of the occasion and also recognized the work of the people in the kitchen with phrases such as “Taquero mucho” in reference to “I love you very much”. Food is definitely another way to know happiness, so much so that users on Twitter know that if someone feels sad, they just need to go visit their trusted taquero to get their spirits up with an order of jerky, mixiote, shepherd or why not, cochinita. You can resist having your heart broken but you can't stand that this dish ceases to exist. That is something that even Marvel knows, since I don't hesitate to post a funny image showing the character of Deadpool chasing a taco, best of all, he managed to give his message with a comparison of the famous album Nevermind, which was released in the 90s by the band Nirvana. This day's celebration is a good time to remember that it doesn't matter if you are president, actress, small or old, tacos are in everyone's heart, that's why they didn't escape the tweets of characters like Enrique Peña Nieto and Salma Hayek, where you can see how they “enter” the stew.

SCAPPOOSE, Ore. (AP) — Authorities say a man was shot and killed Thursday by two police officers in Scappoose, Oregon. Columbia County officials confirmed the officer-involved shooting on social media. In a tweet, officials said that “no officers were injured and the incident is currently under investigation.” A witness told KOIN-TV that he was dropping his wife off at work when he saw a man show up to the towing facility next door. The witness, Erik Tyler, said the man appeared angry and a fight escalated between the man and employees until the workers told him they would call the police. Police arrived and Tyler said he heard them yell at the man to drop his weapon and the man didn’t comply. Detective Shannon Wilde with the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, which has taken over the investigation, told reporters police responded to the “disturbance” at Grumpy’s Towing just before 10 a.m. During the incident, Wilde said both a sheriff's deputy and an Oregon State Police trooper fired their weapons, killing the man. Wilde did not identify the deceased man or specify whether he was armed at the time but said he was wanted for an unrelated “violent felony.” Wilde also declined to comment on the circumstances that led up to the shooting.

MORGAN CITY, La., March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Conrad Industries, Inc. (OTC Pink: CNRD) today announced its 2021 results and backlog. The Company had net income of $6.5 million and earnings per diluted share of $1.29 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 compared to net loss of $4.0 million and loss per diluted share of $0.80 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020. Net income for 2021 includes other income related to Payment Protection Plan loan forgiveness and Employee Retention Credit. The Company's financial reports are available at www.otcmarkets.com. Our backlog as of December 31, 2021 was $148.5 million, compared to $183.7 million at December 31, 2020, and $79.2 million at December 31, 2019. Johnny Conrad, Chairman and CEO stated, "Our results for 2021 reflect a continued challenging operating environment. The improving but uneven pace of pandemic recovery in 2021 was accompanied by sharp increases in steel prices, inflationary price increases in other materials and equipment, supply chain disruptions and a tight labor market." Mr. Conrad continued, "Although we face substantial uncertainties in our markets, we believe we are well-positioned to take advantage of opportunities when market fundamentals improve. We believe customers have delayed orders due to high steel prices and pandemic uncertainties, and that some of these orders will move forward when steel prices decline or our customers' business opportunities or fleet replacement needs require the vessels. We have seen a continued strong market for dredging and other infrastructure-related vessels, which we expect may continue, supported by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act enacted in 2021. We are also optimistic about opportunities in our repair and conversions segment." Mr. Conrad concluded, "We are optimistic about our long-term prospects including the recent award of a contract by the U.S. Navy for the design and construction of a Yard, Repair, Berthing and Messing ("YRBM") barge, with options for an additional seven barges. This contract along with the infrastructure and repair markets are encouraging signs for the future of our business." Conrad Industries, Inc., established in 1948 and headquartered in Morgan City, Louisiana, designs, builds and overhauls tugboats, ferries, liftboats, barges, offshore supply vessels and other steel products for both the commercial and government markets. The company provides both repair and new construction services at its five shipyards located in southern Louisiana and Texas.

Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including risks and uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic, current high steel prices and constrained availability, competition, our reliance on cyclical industries, ability to perform contracts at costs consistent with estimated costs utilized in bidding, and ability to replenish our backlog and compete in changing markets. These and other risks are discussed in more detail in our Annual Report and subsequent reports available on www.otcmarkets.com. Should one or more of these risks materialize, achievement of anticipated results may differ materially from those anticipated.

(The Center Square) – Missouri Republican Gov. Mike Parson doesn’t see a statewide solution to high gas prices, but he predicted a tax cut and hoped the legislature would increase teacher salaries. Parson briefly met with reporters on Thursday after touring Miller Career Academy and holding a roundtable discussion with St. Louis Public School leaders. Transportation challenges for students engaged in internships was a topic, but he doesn’t expect a repeal of last year’s state gasoline tax increase or pausing the entire tax for several months as other states are considering. “I don’t think there’s any question we want to be open to how we can help the everyday people out there just get through this,” Parson said. “But I think more important is the big picture to make sure we’re getting more (production) in the United States. We know that’s been a political hot button. If we have the resources in this country to lower those prices, we should be doing everything we can to do that. We’ve seen what happened when we’re totally dependent on foreign countries.” Several media outlets reported earlier this week House Budget Chairman Rep. Cody Smith, R-Carthage, removed Parson’s budget request to raise the starting salary for teachers to $38,000. Teacher salaries were discussed during Parson’s roundtable. “Right now, it’s the focus of this administration,” Parson said. “Everything we can do to help with the workforce, to help with these schools to get these kids ready to go into the workforce is something we want to do. We’ll see how all this comes out in the Senate. At the end of the day, it’s pretty early to predict what’s going to happen or not. But we’re going to be fighting for what we had in the budget and trying to keep promoting what we put in there.” Parson said the state cut taxes twice during the three years he’s been governor. A third reduction could be possible since state revenue is increasing. “Our state has done extremely well on the economy side, so chances are we’ll probably cut income taxes again,” Parson said. “As long as we can keep the economy going and be able to do a balanced approach, we’re going to be able to do things like that. Missouri didn’t have to backfill with (federal) ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act) money. We’re actually able to invest that in the infrastructure and workforce development pieces and that’s a priority for us.” Parson told students and teachers during the tour and administrators during the roundtable there are 150,000 job openings in Missouri. “This is a perfect example today, seeing what they’re doing to prepare these kids for the workforce,” Parson said. “Every class you walk into today, whether it’s graphic design, health care, communications, engineering or you name it, those are all high-demand jobs out there.”

According to LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune, White Sox star shortstop Tim Anderson has been suspended for the club’s first two regular-season games. Anderson tweeted that he was also fined $10,000. The punishment stems from a benches-clearing incident last September against the Detroit Tigers when Anderson made contact with an umpire. When explaining his role in the altercation, the All-Star said he was pushed by someone he could not see. In retaliation, Anderson pushed back, not knowing the individual he made contact with was umpire Tim Timmons. Initially a three-game ban, the 28-year-old ultimately had his punishment reduced to two on appeal. Anderson will be eligible to make his regular-season debut on April 10 against, ironically, the Tigers. The former first-round pick enjoyed another productive season for the Chi-Sox in 2021, slashing .309 to go along with 17 home runs, 61 RBIs, and 18 stolen bases. FanDuel Sportsbook has the White Sox holding the third-best World Series odds at +1000.

UN watchdog says no radiation released in attack on Ukraine nuclear plant A United Nations watchdog said Friday that no radiation was released in the attack on a Ukrainian nuclear plant in Enerhoder, a city on the Dnipro River. Rafael Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said the fire that broke out at Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant from a Russian attack did not release any radiation into the air. The attack did not hit a nuclear reactor but a training center in the facility, which accounts for about a quarter of the power generated in Ukraine. The Russians have now taken control of the plant and are forcing Ukrainians to work at gunpoint, according to the operator of the facility. Zaporizhzha is Europe’s largest nuclear site and the attack has raised fears over the possibility of a nuclear catastrophe. Only one reactor in the plant is working at around 60 percent capacity after the fighting. Russia tried to falsely blame Ukraine for the fire that began at the nuclear plant. It is the second nuclear facility Russian has seized in Ukraine during the war. Ukraine’s president spoke with President Biden while the fire was previously ongoing at the facility, with the two calling for Russia to stop military activities in the area.

Currency Convenience Translation For the convenience of readers, certain Renminbi amounts have been translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the rate of RMB6.3726 to US$1.00, the noon buying rate on December 30, 2021 in New York for cable transfers of Renminbi as set forth in the H.10 weekly statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), 51job uses non-GAAP financial measures of income before income tax expense, income tax expense, adjusted net income, adjusted net income attributable to 51job and adjusted earnings per share, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude share-based compensation expense, loss from foreign currency translation and changes in fair value of listed equity securities investment and long-term investment, as well as the related tax effect of these items. The Company believes excluding share-based compensation expense and its related tax effect from its non-GAAP financial measures is useful for its management and investors to assess and analyze the Company's core operating results as such expense is not directly attributable to the underlying performance of the Company's business operations and do not impact its cash earnings. The Company believes excluding loss from foreign currency translation and changes in fair value of listed equity securities investment and long-term investment, as well as the related tax effect, from its non-GAAP financial measures is useful for its management and investors as such translation, mark-to-market gain or loss is not indicative of the Company's core business operations and will not result in cash settlement nor impact the Company's cash earnings. 51job also believes these non-GAAP financial measures excluding share-based compensation expense, loss from foreign currency translation and changes in fair value of listed equity securities investment and long-term investment, as well as the related tax effect of these items, are important in helping investors to understand the Company's current financial performance and future prospects and to compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis. The presentation of these additional measures should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results or as being comparable to results reported or forecasted by other companies. The non-GAAP measures have been reconciled to GAAP measures in the attached financial statements.

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — The pain was sharp and familiar. It reminded David Price of where he has been. It also told him he still might be able to be the pitcher the Los Angeles Dodgers thought they had nearly 26 months ago. Price’s quiet spring began the way others have in the five-time All-Star’s 13-year career: His left elbow hurt after his first live batting practice a couple of weeks ago, and he knew the resumption of an old routine was underway. “Always the elbow,’’ Price said. “It happens every year, all the way back to 2010. Now, everything feels good – arm, elbow and shoulder.’’ It was good enough to impress Dodgers manager Dave Roberts and anybody else who watched Price make his first spring appearance against Cleveland on Wednesday night. The left-hander worked only an inning, but he had two strikeouts and was clocked at 93 mph. In an abbreviated camp, it wasn’t enough to determine his role. It did remind the Dodgers that Price is still in the mix. From starter to bullpen, Price’s role with the Dodgers has been uncertain since they acquired the 2012 American League Cy Young Award winner from the Boston Red Sox in a three-team deal that included right-fielder Mookie Betts in February 2020. Price didn’t pitch at all that year, opting out because of concerns about COVID-19. In 2021, he bounced between the starting rotation and the bullpen with 11 starts and 28 appearances as a reliever. His overall ERA was 4.03. He arrived at camp in mid-March ready to do anything. Then Roberts mentioned him as a possible starter. “I’m preparing that way, yeah,” said Price, who is in the final year of a seven-year, $217 million contract. “I think it’d be silly of me to prepare to be a reliever if I’m asked to start. So, I’m preparing to be a starter until otherwise.” Otherwise looks to be the case. Roberts projects his starting rotation will be Walker Buehler, Julio Urias, Clayton Kershaw, Andrew Heaney and Tony Gonsolin. He cautioned that nothing is set in stone, mostly because pitchers were limited in a camp cut short by major league baseball’s lockout. The Dodgers signed career starter Tyler Anderson in mid-March, just in case. As for Price, Roberts said: “I just think that David, right now, is not an option in the sense of, he’s not built up. It just doesn’t seem feasible right now.” The 36-year-old left-hander could still have an immediate role, like one inning in relief early in the season, Roberts said, and moving up to multiple innings as he gets stronger. “I’m confident in David in any role,’’ Roberts said. “I like his versatility. The role doesn’t matter. It’s just knowing that he’s going to pitch valuable innings in whatever role.” NOTES Cody Bellinger took batting practice Thursday on the minor-league side of the Dodgers’ camp. The 2019 National League MVP is 4 for 27 with 17 strikeouts this spring. “I wouldn’t say I’m alarmed,’’ Roberts said. “I think ‘progressing’ is the word. We’ve got to continue to log at-bats to make him feel as comfortable as possible when the season starts.’’ ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports

Since 2007 it was declared that Taco Day would be every March 31, it was agreed to celebrate this date due to the cultural and above all gastronomic importance that tacos have in Mexican life. It is enough to go outside on a Friday night to see the diversity of stalls that offer this delicacy to all those who come to the party or who simply want to pamper their palate. Although it is now common to eat gut tacos, sausage, barbeque, suadero, shepherd, birria, carnitas and countless other recipes, in pre-Hispanic times (the period in which this food was born) they were tasted with rabbit meat, ducks, roosters, hares, deer, quail and even wild boars, as stated by the Cultural Information System of Government of Mexico. Users on social networks did not leave aside the historical importance of this food and from a very early age they began to post various and funny memes about Taco Day. There was everything from those who compared going out to a taqueria with a romantic date, to those who claimed that their money told them that they wanted to be spent on tacos. On the other hand, the cheesy ones were not lacking and they also shared tender images that compare the relationship of taco and salsa (inseparable par excellence) with that of a love relationship. Similarly, it can be argued that there is a certain dependence between this stew and lemon, another inseparable duo. Because this dish has conquered the hearts and above all the tastes of many Mexicans and foreigners, Taco Day soon became a popular celebration in which not only food is enjoyed, but also recognized as one of the most symbolic and characteristic elements for the society that lives in the territory. What would humanity be without the gastronomic delights that delight all the senses? The sensation that a Mexican feels when taking his first bite of a taco can be compared to the experience he has when doing an activity that is very enjoyed or seeing the idol of our dreams, in fact, there was no shortage of Internet users who linked taquizas with art. This image perfectly represents the feeling that people have when they know that they are about to have a good shepherd, it is undoubtedly something comparable to an artistic experience. It should be noted that credit is not only for the delicacy, since it could not be realized or carried out satisfactorily without the hard work of all the taqueros who make it possible. For this reason, some people took advantage of the occasion and also recognized the work of the people in the kitchen with phrases such as “Taquero mucho” in reference to “I love you very much”. Food is definitely another way to know happiness, so much so that users on Twitter know that if someone feels sad, they just need to go visit their trusted taquero to get their spirits up with an order of jerky, mixiote, shepherd or why not, cochinita. You can resist having your heart broken but you can't stand that this dish ceases to exist. That is something that even Marvel knows, since I don't hesitate to post a funny image showing the character of Deadpool chasing a taco, best of all, he managed to give his message with a comparison of the famous album Nevermind, which was released in the 90s by the band Nirvana. This day's celebration is a good time to remember that it doesn't matter if you are president, actress, small or old, tacos are in everyone's heart, that's why they didn't escape the tweets of characters like Enrique Peña Nieto and Salma Hayek, where you can see how they “enter” the stew.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. (AP) — About $7 million worth of surplus personal protective equipment and cleaning supplies purchased by a Northern California county was left outside during a rainstorm because no one anticipated wet weather to start so early in the season, according to an investigation released Thursday. After a KGO-TV news report showed hundreds of drenched cardboard boxes, San Mateo County officials acknowledged the supplies were moved outside an event center last September to make room for a conference. There was no definitive timeline for how the supplies would be distributed “even though the Fall rainy season was not far off,” the probe by James Lianides said. County officials said they hired the retired school superintendent to conduct the inquiry because of his experience dealing with large organizations and purchasing practices. Lianides said the boxes of non-medical-grade gowns, face shields and goggles as well as cleaning supplies were also moved out of the event center to avoid the $100,000-per-month storage fee. “It does not appear that there were any discussions or actions taken in the process of (moving) to protect the equipment in the event of inclement weather, such as wrapping or covering each pallet,” he wrote. The county's executive officer, Mike Callagy, has said the county purchased the items early in the pandemic when PPE was becoming scarce nationwide so that local first responders and medical providers would have what they needed. The demand for the equipment decreased as the pandemic continued. The county’s supply of gloves and masks — including N95 and KN95 respirators — are stored indoors. “What’s clear is that that this shouldn’t have happened. What is equally clear is we are taking the steps necessary to make sure that we put the checks and balances in place so this never happens again,” Callagy said in a statement Thursday. An inspection of the damaged boxes determined that most of the safety equipment remains usable because they were packed in sealed plastic wrapping, the probe found. Equipment that could not be salvaged were worth about $128,000, according to Lianides.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo.– Missouri-based nonprofit Preferred Family Healthcare is being ordered to pay back more than $8 million to the federal government and the state of Arkansas in restitution for fraud and bribery. The United States Department of Justice said in a press release the behavioral health nonprofit garnished illegal profits from a wide-ranging fraud and bribery scheme. “Employees of Preferred Family Healthcare used charitable organizations to illegally line their own pockets through fraud and bribery,” said Tyler Hatcher of IRS-Criminal Investigation in the press release. “Preferred Family Healthcare has acknowledged that its former employees engaged in criminal activity and they are taking steps to make amends by forfeiting a sum of money to the federal government and paying restitution to the state of Arkansas.” Related to the fraud and bribery, several executives from the charity as well as members of the Arkansas state legislature have pleaded guilty to charges related to the investigation. Those who’ve pleaded guilty include the nonprofit’s former CEO Marilyn Luann Nolan of Springfield, the former Director of Operations and Executive Vice President Robin Raveendran, former executive and head of clinical operations Keith Fraser Noble and former employee and head of operations Milton Russell Cranford, aka Rusty. As well, former Arkansas State Senator Jeremy Hutchinson, former Arkansas State Representative Eddie Wayne Cooper and former Arkansas State Senator and State Representative Henry Hank Wilkins IV all plead guilty to charges related to the investigation. Preferred Family Healthcare still provides services in Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Illinois, including mental health treatment, substance abuse treatment and various other medical services. Their operations in Arkansas were sold in 2018. Most of the nonprofit’s funding comes from federal funds, the largest being Medicaid reimbursement. Preferred Family Healthcare is ordered to forfeit more than $6.9 million to the federal government and to pay more than $1.1 million in restitution to the state of Arkansas related to misusing funds from the state’s general improvement fund as part of a non-prosecution agreement. “These former executives failed the public and did a disservice to PFH employees by prioritizing their own personal benefit and financial gain over the public they served,” Steven Grell, Office of Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Labor said. “Today’s agreement demonstrates PFH’s willingness to take corrective actions regarding the criminal actions of former executives of the organization.”

Smith "was firmly asked by way of his publicist to leave the Oscars. He refused and that was communicated back to Academy leadership," according to a source. In the moments following Will Smith's stunning on-stage slap of Chris Rock during Sunday's Oscars telecast, members of the Academy of Motion Picture and Arts and Sciences leadership "firmly asked" Will Smith's publicist for the actor to leave the ceremony, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. Smith "was firmly asked by way of his publicist to leave the Oscars. He refused and that was communicated back to Academy leadership," the person said. The source spoke to CNN following multiple published reports Thursday disputing the Academy's claim in a statement issued Wednesday evening that Smith "was asked to leave the ceremony and refused." Representatives for Smith did not respond to CNN's requests for comment Thursday. The Oscar-winning actor has maintained a low profile on social media since issuing an apology on Monday. "I was out of line and I was wrong," Smith wrote in part. "I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness." The Academy has "initiated disciplinary proceedings" against Smith over his actions at the Oscars. "Board of Governors today initiated disciplinary proceedings against Mr. Smith for violations of the Academy's Standards of Conduct, including inappropriate physical contact, abusive or threatening behavior, and compromising the integrity of the Academy," the organization said in a statement. Another board meeting is set to take place on April 18, at which time, "the Academy may take any disciplinary action, which may include suspension, expulsion, or other sanctions permitted by the Bylaws and Standards of Conduct," the statement said. Keep it Clean. Please avoid obscene, vulgar, lewd, racist or sexually-oriented language. PLEASE TURN OFF YOUR CAPS LOCK. Don't Threaten. Threats of harming another person will not be tolerated.

Monday marks the 54th anniversary of death of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., and the Roanoke Chapter of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference will honor him with a memorial service. The civil rights leader, who would have turned 95 on Jan. 15, 2022, was shot while standing on a balcony outside his second-floor room at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee. News of King’s assassination prompted major outbreaks of racial violence, resulting in more than 40 deaths nationwide and extensive property damage in more than 100 American cities. James Earl Ray, a 40-year-old escaped convict, later was arrested and sentenced to a 99-year prison term. He died in 1998. The memorial service will be held at 5 p.m. at the Martin Luther King statue at the intersection of Center Avenue and First Street Northwest. For more information, call Dr. Perneller Chubb-Wilson at 540-344-7064 or Bishop Edward Mitchell at 540-400-2459. Walk for Ten CommandmentsA three-mile walk commemorating the Ten Commandments will be held April 9. People are also reading… Sponsored by members of Church Women United in the Roanoke Valley, the Ten Commandment Walk will include visits to six churches in the downtown Roanoke area. At each stop participants will learn about ways that members of these congregations are living out the greatest commandment to love God through loving their neighbors. The 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. event begins at First Baptist Church in Gainsboro with check-in between 9:30 and 10 a.m. and event ends with a return to First Baptist Church in Gainsboro for lunch and fellowship. The walk is limited to 40 participants, and pre-registration is required. Contact Barbara Pendergrass Richmond at 540-818-0520 to register no later than April 4. There is no fee to register. Girls on the RunThe Chillin’ Ice Doin’ Nice program begins April 6, and a new organization, Girls on the Run, will be the first beneficiaries this year. Girls on the Run, part of a national organization, is an after-school program designed to inspire girls to recognize and embrace their inner strength. Lessons emphasize the important connection between physical and emotional health. “The program is dedicated to creating a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams,” Melanie Crovo, co-owner Chillin’ Shaved Ice, said in an email, adding the Roanoke chapter has girls from the Garden City neighborhood. Crovo and Thomas Beltram, her concession trailer partner, started the Chillin’ Ice Doin’ Nice project last year after COVID-19 pandemic protocols delayed efforts to promote and start their Chillin’ Shaved Ice business. So, every Wednesday from April through September, their business season, they donated 10% of sales and 100% of tips to a local nonprofit organization to get their name out in the pubic. “Last year we donated over $1,900 to local organizations,” Crovo said. “Hopefully, this year will be even more successful.” The Chillin’ Shaved Ice concession trailer will be parked at 1318 Riverland Road S.E., starting Wednesday. The concession is open Wednesday through Sunday from 3 until 8 p.m. (9 p.m. during the summer.) Organizations benefitting from Chillin’ Ice Doin’ Nice this year also include: the West End Center, April 13; Roanoke Skatepark Initiative, April 20; Presbyterian Community Center, May 11; Roanoke Valley Speech and Hearing, May 18; Keystone Community Center, June 8; Roanoke Valley SPCA, July 6; and Ronald McDonald House of Southwest Virginia, July 20. Nonprofit groups wanting to participate in the benefit program can reach Melanie Crovo at 540-204-7737 or pipedreamllc@yahoo.com. Donations to food bankThe Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints recently donated two truckloads of food to Feeding Southwest Virginia. This donation of food comes at a time when increasing food and fuel costs are impacting the budget of the Food Bank, officials said in announcement about the donation. The donated items included canned beans, soups, pasta, and other nonperishable products. “This donation is particularly timely,” said Pamela Irvine, president and CEO of Feeding Southwest Virginia. “This donation of food will soften the impact of higher costs facing the Food Bank to help feed the region’s food insecure. No one deserves to be hungry. We are very grateful for this large-scale donation from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.” Feeding Southwest Virginia, founded in 1982, is an affiliate member of Feeding America. Approximately $30 million worth of food and grocery- related products are channeled annually through a network of more than 380 partner feeding programs in a 26-county, nine city region, according to officials. Free distemper vaccinations offeredMountain View Humane in Christiansburg is participating in National Pet Vaccination Month by giving free distemper vaccinations to pets at the time of spay/neuter services and during scheduled wellness appointments. The free vaccines are possible due to a grant from Petco Love. “We’re so grateful to Petco Love’s investment in our community,” said Sylvie Peterson, executive director of Mountain View Humane. “The warmer months are very busy for spay and neuter services, and these vaccines will go a long way to helping keep pets in our region healthy and safe.” Appointments for the free vaccines are available Monday-Friday and can be scheduled by calling 540-382-0222. The free distemper vaccines must be requested at the time of scheduling. The mission of the humane agency, formed in 2010, is to end pet overpopulation in Southwest Virginia and Southern West Virginia by providing affordable, high quality spay and neuter services to the public, local municipal shelters, and rescue groups. In addition to its Waldron-Ricci Spay/Neuter Clinic in Christiansburg, Mountain View Humane also operates a mobile clinic that offers spay and neuter services, vaccines, and wellness visits where there are potential barriers to travel and veterinary services. Since its founding in 1999, Petco Love has empowered animal welfare organizations by investing $300 million in adoptions and other lifesaving efforts. Mountain View Humane also is celebrating the 10-year anniversary at its current location April 4 from 4 until 7 p.m. The 10-year anniversary celebration has been delayed for two years due to the pandemic, but it will be marked with a ribbon cutting ceremony and an open house at Mountain View Humane Waldron-Ricci Spay Neuter Clinic, 225 Industrial Drive, Christiansburg. Those attending can RSVP by emailing info@mvhclinic.org. For more information on the agency and its programs, contact Sylvie Peterson at 540-382-0222 or speterson@mvhclinic.org.

Updated March 30, 2022 at 10:32 AM ET LVIV, Ukraine — The main park in the middle of Chernihiv, north of the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, was supposed to be safe — or so Olha Lysenko had hoped, after spending weeks in a bomb shelter as her city came under siege by Russian forces. But when she decided to go and check the park for herself earlier this month, she was horrified to find shrapnel everywhere. There were puddles of blood all around. "I've never seen so much blood in my life," she says. "The city cannot be restored. It has turned to rubble." Most of Chernihiv lies in ruins, Mayor Vladyslav Atroshenko told reporters on Saturday. In this city of historic 11th and 12th century churches, whose population before the war was 300,000, infrastructure is destroyed: no power, no gas. Water is scarce and food is running low. Russian forces bombed the main escape route out of the city, south to Kyiv, trapping residents and preventing humanitarian aid from getting in. "Our city is being wiped off the map," Atroshenko said. "It is easier to count the remaining houses that survived attacks." The family made a lucky escape before a key bridge was destroyed The Lysenkos don't know if their house survived the shelling; on March 21, Olha, her husband Ihor and their two kids, Yegor and Varya, managed to make it out of Chernihiv, before the bridge leading to Kyiv was destroyed. They are now among an estimated 6.5 million Ukrainians internally displaced by the war. They joined a caravan of cars, the family and two other adults squeezed into a small sedan. A trip that normally takes a couple of hours from Chernihiv to Kyiv took more than eight on damaged roads. The fields on either side of the roads were shelled, says Ihor Lysenko. "We were lucky to escape." Their children had a hard time in the car. They didn't eat. They didn't sleep. The loud explosions damaged 6-year-old Varya's hearing. But they had their pets to keep them company: a cat, a dog and two hamsters. After nearly 18 hours of driving, the family finally made it on March 23 to the western city of Lviv, a refuge for those fleeing harder-hit areas in the east. The family is trying to make plans while facing an uncertain future They're staying in a distant relative's apartment, where Varya and her older brother Yegor play together, singing and yelling, while their parents make plans. Varya, holding a half-devoured lollipop, says her pets "were not afraid of anything!" Even the hamsters were brave. Their mom says usually her kids are happy, full of energy, as they are right now. But she and her husband are not sure what the legacy of the war will be for Varya and Yegor. On their way to say goodbye to their grandparents, who have stayed in Chernihiv, they encountered shelling and had to run for cover. "They went into survival mode," their mom says. "They didn't get annoyed. They didn't complain." Since the Russian invasion, she and Ihor have noticed small changes in their kids' behavior — for instance, when they play now, they play war games. When she asks what they are doing, the children explain they are training to fight back or pretending their toys have lost family members. Next the family plans to travel to Chervonohrad, a small city north of Lviv, where there are fewer people. They'd like to get back to work, Olha as a psychologist, and Ihor for an IT company. But they don't know how this experience of trauma will affect them. It's all still shocking, they say. Ihor Lysenko holds up his phone to show a photo of a spot on the ground in Chernihiv where shelling hit. He'd been in that exact spot just a minute before, he says. Olha shakes her head. It's all still so fresh. But she knows she must move forward. "I have to put myself in order," she says, "and heal my own traumas." Copyright 2022 NPR. To see more, visit https://www.npr.org.

(The Center Square) – Nevada taxpayers might be on the hook for a separation agreement between its top higher education official and the state board if it accepts the deal. The Nevada System of Higher Education Board of Regents will consider the separation agreement between the state and NHSE Chancellor Melody Rose during an emergency meeting Friday. Rose claimed in October the board chair and vice chair created a hostile work environment for her. The two temporarily stepped down before being voted back into their positions once an independent investigation found the two acted in a “not collegiate” way rather than confirm Rose’s claims of gender discrimination, according to 8NewsNow. Hired in June 2020, Rose signed a separation agreement March 27 worth $610,000 plus insurance benefits for her and her family through April. According to state data, her contract earns her a $437,750 annual base salary over the four years of her tenure. The agreement also contains her conduct and speech requirements regarding the system after the separation. Before heading HSHE, Rose was president of Marylhurst University in Oregon from 2014 until it closed in 2018, according to a university release. Severance agreements, though common, have become a controversial topic in higher education. In 2015, the College of DuPage in suburban Chicago garnered attention for paying a school president under controversy $710,000 as part of a separation agreement. Like Rose, the separation package for Robert Breuder was worth more than a year of his salary. The issue led Illinois to cap severance agreements for public university officials at no more than a year of their salary and required new transparency measures. The Board of Regents will consider accepting Rose’s separation agreement in its emergency meeting at 2 p.m. Friday.

WASHINGTON — Republicans on Capitol Hill found themselves in an awkward but familiar spot this week: being asked to respond to yet another controversy sparked by Donald Trump. This time it was the former president urging Vladimir Putin to release dirt on the Biden family as the Russian president wages a bloody and devastating war in Ukraine that has killed thousands of civilians and displaced millions more. Trump’s request twisted congressional Republicans into a political pretzel: GOP lawmakers have been pushing President Joe Biden to get more aggressive in helping Ukraine combat Putin, who they’ve called a “thug” and a “murderer,” but now Republicans are being asked why their party's de facto leader is making a direct appeal to Putin, whom Trump has recently praised as "savvy" and a "genius." The 45th president’s remarks drew a swift rebuke from a handful of GOP defense hawks — even as they delicately tiptoed around Trump's name. “I don’t think we should be asking Putin to do anything,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., a Trump ally who has suggested that someone needs to assassinate Russia's president. Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, a vocal Trump critic who warned about Russia’s threats when he was the GOP presidential nominee in 2012, added, “I don’t think Vladimir Putin oughta be one of the people we go to for favors right now." “He’s one of the worst people on the planet,” Romney said, “and America shouldn’t be asking for favors.” Putin is "one of the worst people on the planet, and America shouldn’t be asking for favors.” Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah In an interview with the conservative Real America’s Voice network, Trump pointed to a report by Senate Republicans, released just before the 2020 election, that scrutinized Hunter Biden’s business dealings with Eastern European oligarchs. Trump suggested that Putin may have dirt on the president's son, saying: “I would think Putin would know the answer to that. I think he should release it.” Lawyers for Hunter Biden have denied any wrongdoing on his part. As with past Trump controversies, only a few Republicans are condemning his words and actions. The vast majority simply tried to avoid the flap all together, saying they either hadn't seen Trump's interview or weren’t aware of his remarks. “I did not see them,” said Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Fla. “I am focused on the fact that Ukrainians are giving their lives for freedom, and I’m focused on making sure the United States does everything it needs to do. I’m not too concerned about what people say.” “I honestly haven’t looked at the stuff,” said Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, adding that he’s been “neck-deep” in border immigration issues. “I didn’t see the clip of what you’re talking about,” added Rep. Rodney Davis, R-Ill. “I’ve learned over the last few years that when asked about an issue regarding any of my colleagues or even President Trump saying something or allegedly doing something, I’ve got to go actually see it to be able to make a comment." Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who is flirting with a 2024 presidential bid, declined twice on Wednesday to say whether Trump’s appeal to Putin to release dirt on Hunter Biden was appropriate. “I didn’t see the particular comments,” said Cruz, the runner-up to Trump in a bitter 2016 Republican primary. Asked broadly if it’s appropriate for a former president to ask a foreign leader for help to undermine a U.S. political opponent, Cruz said: “I’m not going to answer a hypothetical.” Trump’s plea to Putin this week echoed past moments when Trump solicited a foreign leader or government for damaging information on a political rival. During the 2016 presidential campaign, Trump publicly asked Russia to release thousands of emails from his opponent, Democrat Hillary Clinton. And in 2019, the Democratic-led House impeached Trump over allegations he threatened to withhold about $400 million in critical military aid to Ukraine until President Volodymyr Zelenskyy launched an investigation into Hunter Biden. The Senate later voted to acquit Trump. Zelenskyy, his nation in ruins, is now trying to beat back a brutal Russian invasion that's lasted more than month. Trump appears to be gearing up for a possible rematch with Biden in 2024. And it’s clear from his comments and actions that Hunter Biden’s business dealings will be a key part of any future campaign. Trump's staunchest allies on Capitol Hill are pointing to recent stories in the Washington Post and New York Times confirming the existence of a laptop hard drive that allegedly belonged to Hunter Biden and contained thousands of emails and other financial records. The emails and other records showed that a Chinese energy firm and its executives paid entities controlled by Hunter Biden and his uncle $4.8 million over a 14-month period, the Post reported. “I think even the Washington Post and the New York Times are writing about that story now. Everybody’s concerned about that story,” said Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, a Trump loyalist who likely will chair the Judiciary Committee if Republicans win back the House in November. On Thursday, White House spokesperson Kate Bedingfield said she "absolutely" stands by Biden's comments during the 2020 campaign where he said "nothing was unethical" about his son's business dealings overseas. Another Trump ally, Sen. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., called Putin a “war criminal,” but said if the Russian president has dirt on the Bidens, “he should reveal it.” Asked whether it was appropriate to ask Putin to do that, Cramer shifted his focus back to Joe Biden: “You know, the appropriateness of things that Trump asks for is more amusing to you than it is to me. “We have a current president who’s, you know, way more concerning to me, frankly, than what the former president might be doing.”

WASHINGTON • President Joe Biden on Thursday ordered the release of 1 million barrels of oil per day from the nation's strategic petroleum reserve for six months, a bid to control energy prices that have spiked after the United States and allies imposed steep sanctions on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine. The president said it was not known how much gasoline prices could decline as a result of his move, but he suggested it might be "anything from 10 cents to 35 cents a gallon." Gas is averaging about $4.23 a gallon, compared with $2.87 a year ago, according to AAA. "The bottom line is if we want lower gas prices we need to have more oil supply right now," Biden said. "This is a moment of consequence and peril for the world, and pain at the pump for American families." The president also wants Congress to impose financial penalties on oil and gas companies that lease public lands but are not producing. He said he will invoke the Defense Production Act to encourage the mining of critical minerals for batteries in electric vehicles, part of a broader push to shift toward cleaner energy sources and reduce the use of fossil fuels. The actions show that oil remains a vulnerability for the U.S. Higher prices have hurt Biden's approval domestically and added billions of oil-export dollars to the Russian government as it wages war on Ukraine. Tapping the stockpile would create pressures that could reduce oil prices, though Biden has twice ordered releases from the reserves without causing a meaningful shift in oil markets. Biden said Thursday he expects gasoline prices could drop "fairly significantly." Part of Biden's concern is that high prices have not so far coaxed a meaningful jump in oil production. The planned release is a way to increase supplies as a bridge until oil companies ramp up their own production, with administration officials estimating that domestic production will grow by 1 million barrels daily this year and an additional 700,000 barrels daily in 2023. The markets reacted quickly with crude oil prices dropping about 6% in Thursday trading to roughly $101 a barrel. Still, oil is up from roughly $60 a year ago, with supplies failing to keep up with demand as the world economy has begun to rebound from the coronavirus pandemic. That inflationary problem was compounded by Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine, which created new uncertainties about oil and natural gas supplies and led to retaliatory sanctions from the U.S. and its allies. Stewart Glickman, an oil analyst for CFRA Research, said the release would bring short-term relief on prices and would be akin to "taking some Advil for a headache." But markets would ultimately look to see whether, after the releases stop, the underlying problems that led to Biden's decisions remain. "The root cause of the headache is probably still going to be there after the medicine wears off," Glickman said. Biden has been in talks with allies and partners to join in additional releases of oil, such that the world market will get more than the 180 million barrels total being pledged by the U.S. Americans on average use about 21 million barrels of oil daily, with about 40% of that devoted to gasoline, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. That total accounts for about one-fifth of total global consumption of oil.

ST. IGNATIUS — The return of more priceless tribal artifacts, saved by an expert's touch, brings healing to members of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes. Thursday was a day for amazement, and thankfulness, at the Three Chiefs Cultural Center in St. Ignatius, as lead conservator Nancy Fonicello of Ancient Artways Conservation returned more of the artifacts damaged in the 2020 fire that destroyed the People's Center, including some of the most significant in the tribes' history. "So these items are coming home again today and, yeah," Program Director Marie Torosian told the people who gathered as her voice caught for a moment. "I mean, I'm sorry. I get emotional when I think about it." Emotional because the tribes' legacy was nearly destroyed. Now, pieces like this vest worn by Chief Martin Charlo in the 1920s are saved. Tribal leaders say the heartbreak was like a death in the family, met with resolve by the museum staff. "And I saw that same kind of feeling, just heartbreak and yet balancing that with the real toughness," Tribal member and historian Steve Lozar noted. "This woman and her and her staff that night, to see them up close. And to see how hard it was for their hearts." Conservator Nancy Fonicello of Ancient Artways Conservation says it's been an honor to head the recovery efforts. "It's not just one single material. You've got leather, you've got beadwork. You've got feathers. You've got brass. You've got all different kinds of threads and fabrics. And so you have to consider all the different materials when you're working on cleaning them. What works for one material doesn't necessarily work for the piece that's right next to it." Fonicello tells me the work is focused on cleaning as much as possible, and it's astonishing to see what's been done. Although some pieces will always bear evidence of that terrible night. "We don't do any permanent changes, any adhesives. Anything we do as conservators has to be reversible completely and documented." But this project is about more than restoring priceless artifacts. It's also about healing from one of the most devastating events in recent tribal history. Healing for both the families who created and donated this work over more than a century, and museum staff. "That family you know, and this is a really powerful day for them," Vern Finley of the Kootenai Culture Committee observed. Powerful for the tribe, but also for Fonicello to work so intimately with each piece, and empower the museum staff and volunteers to preserve the past for the future. "Some of these pieces take hours, hours And you're with the piece constantly and you're thinking about who made it and the history of it. And you do get emotionally involved with them." Finley feels the training Fonicello has given the tribe, including how to organize the records of the collection, has been invaluable. "Nancy and the training she has provided and the assistance that she's provided. And it shows her humble nature because even though this is much her work she gives so much credit to everybody else."

Jordan Ashton, a Mount Pleasant native, will take the reins of the Tigers Men’s Basketball program, effective April 11th. Ashton spent the 2021-22 academic year as an assistant coach at the University of Minnesota Duluth. During this season, the team earned the most wins in over 50 years in program history and went undefeated with a perfect 13-0 record at home, the first time since the 1990-91 season. The team received their highest national ranking, fifth, in school history and earned the title of NSIC North Division Conference Champions. Ashton coached the NSIC North Division Player of the Year and two First-Team NSIC All-Conference players. Ashton knows how to win, both as a coach and a player. He spent two years coaching at the University of South Dakota and Kirkwood Community College. While at South Dakota, Ashton contributed to a team that would win seven more wins than the previous season and a third-place finish in the Missouri Valley Conference. At Kirkwood Community College, he assisted in winning the 2019 NJCAA National Championship, coaching the National Player of the Year and five All-Region Players. As an athlete, Ashton competed under Head Coach Ben Jacobson at the University of Northern Iowa. He led the team in minutes played, three-point percentage (44%), and was the third-leading scorer. Ashton spent one year at Iowa State University competing under Head Coach Steve Prohm, a year at Kirkwood Community College under Head Coach Bryan Petersen when the team won a national championship, and two years at Northwest Missouri State University under Head Coach Ben McCollum. Coach Ashton played high school basketball at Mount Pleasant Community High School, where he assisted in leading the team to become 3A State Champions in 2012. Ashton was named the Class 3A Player of the Year, 1st-Team All-State, and State Tournament MVP. Before the University of Minnesota Duluth, Ashton was the assistant coach/offensive coordinator for the Iowa Wesleyan Men’s Basketball Team for the 2020-2021 season, the Tigers’ final season as an NCAA Division III member. The Tigers made an appearance in the semifinals of the SLIAC Conference Tournament and saw a First-Team All-Conference player in Jarryd Fernandes. Coach Ashton assisted in recruiting many of the talented players that IW saw on the court this past season. “I am extremely excited, grateful, and honored to be returning to Iowa Wesleyan University as head men’s basketball coach. Having the opportunity to return to a program, university, and community that means so much to me is truly a blessing. I want to thank President Plunkett, Derek Zander, and the great individuals who support this program. These are exciting times at IW with a lot to look forward to, and I can’t wait to get started.”

WASHINGTON — The House on Thursday passed a bill capping the monthly cost of insulin at $35 for insured patients, part of an election-year push by Democrats for price curbs on prescription drugs at a time of rising inflation. Experts say the legislation, which passed 232-193, would provide significant relief for privately insured patients with skimpier plans and for Medicare enrollees facing rising out-of-pocket costs for their insulin. Some could save hundreds of dollars annually, and all insured patients would get the benefit of predictable monthly costs for insulin. The bill would not help the uninsured. But the Affordable Insulin Now Act will serve as a political vehicle to rally Democrats and force Republicans who oppose it into uncomfortable votes ahead of the midterms. For the legislation to pass Congress, 10 Republican senators would have to vote in favor. Democrats acknowledge they don't have an answer for how that's going to happen. “If 10 Republicans stand between the American people being able to get access to affordable insulin, that's a good question for 10 Republicans to answer,” said Rep. Dan Kildee, D-Mich., a cosponsor of the House bill. “Republicans get diabetes, too. Republicans die from diabetes.” Public opinion polls have consistently shown support across party lines for congressional action to limit drug costs. But Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., complained the legislation is only “a small piece of a larger package around government price controls for prescription drugs." Critics say the bill would raise premiums and fails to target pharmaceutical middlemen seen as contributing to high list prices for insulin. Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said Democrats could have a deal on prescription drugs if they drop their bid to authorize Medicare to negotiate prices. “Do Democrats really want to help seniors, or would they rather have the campaign issue?" Grassley said. The insulin bill, which would take effect in 2023, represents just one provision of a much broader prescription drug package in President Joe Biden's social and climate legislation. In addition to a similar $35 cap on insulin, the Biden bill would authorize Medicare to negotiate prices for a range of drugs, including insulin. It would penalize drugmakers who raise prices faster than inflation and overhaul the Medicare prescription drug benefit to limit out-of-pocket costs for enrollees. Biden's agenda passed the House only to stall in the Senate because Democrats could not reach consensus. Party leaders haven't abandoned hope of getting the legislation moving again, and preserving its drug pricing curbs largely intact. The idea of a $35 monthly cost cap for insulin actually has a bipartisan pedigree. The Trump administration had created a voluntary option for Medicare enrollees to get insulin for $35, and the Biden administration continued it. In the Senate, Republican Susan Collins of Maine and Democrat Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire are working on a bipartisan insulin bill. Georgia Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock has introduced legislation similar to the House bill, with the support of Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York. Stung by criticism that Biden's economic policies spur inflation, Democrats are redoubling efforts to show how they'd help people cope with costs. On Thursday, the Commerce Department reported a key inflation gauge jumped 6.4% in February compared with a year ago, the largest year-over-year rise since January 1982. But experts say the House bill would not help uninsured people, who face the highest out-of-pocket costs for insulin. Also, people with diabetes often take other medications as well as insulin. That's done to treat the diabetes itself, along with other serious health conditions often associated with the disease. The House legislation would not help with those costs, either. Collins says she's looking for a way to help uninsured people through her bill. About 37 million Americans have diabetes, and an estimated 6 million to 7 million use insulin to keep their blood sugars under control. It’s an old drug, refined and improved over the years, that has seen relentless price increases. Steep list prices don't reflect the rates insurance plans negotiate with manufacturers. But those list prices are used to calculate cost-sharing amounts that patients owe. Patients who can’t afford their insulin reduce or skip doses, a strategy born of desperation, which can lead to serious complications and even death. Economist Sherry Glied of New York University said the market for insulin is a “total disaster” for many patients, particularly those with skimpy insurance plans or no insurance. “This will make private insurance for people with diabetes a much more attractive proposition,” said Glied.

Oscars producer says police offered to arrest Will Smith LOS ANGELES (AP) — Oscars producer Will Packer said Los Angeles police were ready to arrest Will Smith after Smith slapped Chris Rock on the Academy Awards stage. “They were saying, you know, this is battery, was a word they used in that moment,” Packer said in a clip released by ABC News Thursday night of an interview he gave to “Good Morning America.” “They said we will go get him. We are prepared. We’re prepared to get him right now. You can press charges, we can arrest him. They were laying out the options.” But Packer said Rock was “very dismissive” of the idea. “He was like, ‘No, no, no, I’m fine,” Packer said. “And even to the point where I said, ‘Rock, let them finish.’ The LAPD officers finished laying out what his options were and they said, ‘Would you like us to take any action?’ And he said no.” The LAPD said in a statement after Sunday night’s ceremony that they were aware of the incident, and that Rock had declined to file a police report. The department declined comment Thursday on Packer’s interview, a longer version of which will air on Friday morning. The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences met Wednesday to initiate disciplinary proceedings against Smith for violations against the group’s standards of conduct. Smith could be suspended, expelled or otherwise sanctioned. The academy said in a statement that “Mr. Smith’s actions at the 94th Oscars were a deeply shocking, traumatic event to witness in-person and on television.” Without giving specifics, the academy said Smith was asked to leave the ceremony at the Dolby Theatre, but refused to do so. Smith strode from his front row seat on to the stage and slapped Rock after a joke Rock made about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, when he was on stage to present the Oscar for best documentary. On Monday, Smith issued an apology to Rock, the academy and to viewers, saying “I was out of line and I was wrong.” The academy said Smith has the opportunity to defend himself in a written response before the board meets again on April 18. Rock publicly addressed the incident for the first time, but only briefly, at the beginning of a standup show Wednesday night in Boston, where he was greeted by a thunderous standing ovation. He said “I’m still kind of processing what happened.” ___ Follow AP Entertainment Writer Andrew Dalton on Twitter: https://twitter.com/andyjamesdalton Copyright 2022 The Associated Press.

Live coverage: Russian attack on nuclear plant draws condemnations Russian forces seized a Ukrainian nuclear power plant early Friday as the conflict enters its second week and troops close in on Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv. Follow The Hill’s live coverage of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine below: Trudeau will meet with allies in Europe next week to discuss Ukraine 6:51 p.m. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced in a press release on Friday he will meet allies in Europe next week to discuss the ongoing crisis in Ukraine. Trudeau will travel to the UK as well as Latvia, Poland and Germany, to discuss the conflict in Ukraine as well as other security and business matters with the country’s leaders. In the multi-day visit, the prime minister will also meet with leaders of the Netherlands, Lithuania, Estonia and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. “Canada stands united with our partners and allies in support of Ukraine,” the Canadian government said in the press release. “During the visit, the Prime Minister will engage with close allies to build on our coordinated response to Russia’s unprovoked and unjustifiable military aggression against Ukraine.” Trudeau will also pledge support to assist refugees fleeing Ukraine. —Brad Dress S&P Dow Jones Indices removing Russian stocks 4:07 p.m. Stocks that are domiciled or listed in Russia will be dropped from S&P Dow Jones Indices (S&P DJI) standard equity indices before Wednesday’s opening, the index giant announced on Friday. “Additionally, given the deterioration in the level of accessibility of the Russian market which may impact the ability of market participants to replicate S&P DJI Indices containing Russian securities, S&P DJI will reclassify Russia from an emerging market to ‘standalone’ effective prior to the open on Wednesday,” S&P DJI said. The moves continue to economically isolate Russia after the country began its invasion of Ukraine last week, which has since been widely condemned around the world. Businesses like IKEA and Nike have closed their stores in Russia while others have nixed business with Moscow, including ExxonMobil. — Caroline Vakil Biden and Finnish president discuss partnership against Russian aggression 3:52 p.m. President Biden welcomed Finnish President Sauli Niinistö to the White House on Friday and the two discussed their commitment to standing against the Russian invasion into Ukraine. “We agree it’s not only an attack on Ukraine, it’s an attack on the security of Europe and the global peace and stability. And Finland is a critical partner of the United States, a strong defense partner as well, a partner to NATO especially in the strength and security of the Baltic Sea area,” Biden said before the leaders’ bilateral meeting in the Oval Office. “We’re committed to helping Ukraine defend itself and support of the humanitarian need of the Ukrainian people,” Biden added. Niinistö noted that we are living in “very difficult times” and thanked Biden for his leadership. “We need it now,” he said. Biden joked with Niinistö that former President Obama used to say, “it would be alright if we left everything to the Nordic countries.” “Well, we usually don’t start wars,” Niinistö replied. — Alex Gangitano Biden underscores commitment to security of Poland on call with President Duda 2:31 p.m. President Biden on Friday spoke to President Andrzej Duda of Poland to discuss the response to Russia’s invasion into Ukraine and underscored his commitment to the security of Poland. Poland has hosted 9,000 U.S. troops, including 4,700 additional servicemembers deployed there in recent weeks, to reassure eastern flank Allies and deter Russian aggression, according to the White House. Biden thanked Duda for hosting the service members and also thanked him for accepting the nearly 700,000 Ukrainians and others who have fled the war so far. Biden and Duda also reaffirmed their commitment to the people of Ukraine. Vice President Harris will travel to Poland and Romania next week, which The Hill first reported discussions about on Thursday, and Secretary of State Antony Blinken is also traveling to the region this week and is scheduled to be in Poland on Saturday to meet with officials. — Alex Gangitano UN to investigate possible Russian human rights violations 2:23 p.m. The United Nations Human Rights Council is establishing a commission to look into allegations of human rights violations in Russia’s invasion in Ukraine. Thirty-two countries voted in favor of creating the commission. Thirteen countries abstained, including China, India and Cuba. Two, Russia and Eritrea, voted against the measure. The UN council during its meeting also held a moment of silence for the Russian invasion’s victims and urged Russian troops and Russia’s allies to leave Ukraine. Data from the U.N. refugee agency indicates 1.2 million people have fled Ukraine since Feb. 24, and more than 500 Ukrainian civilians have died from the conflict. — Caroline Vakil Independent Russian newspaper, whose editor won Nobel Peace Prize, to delete Ukraine war news 1:51 p.m. The Novaya Gazeta newspaper, an independent Russian news outlet whose editor-in-chief shared a Nobel Peace Prize last year, announced on Friday it would no longer be posting about the Ukrainian invasion, citing the dangers of Russia’s new censorship law. “Dear friends military censorship in Russia has shifted to the threat of criminal prosecution of both journalists and citizens who disseminate information about hostilities that differs from Defense Ministry press releases,” the newspaper tweeted. “Therefore, we remove materials on this topic.” The news outlet earlier this week condemned Russia’s invasion in Ukraine, with its editor Dmitry Muratov saying “we are ashamed.” “Ukrainian and Russian. We do not recognize Ukraine as an enemy; we do not recognize the Ukrainian language as the language of the enemy. We never will,” he said. He also earlier this week told The New Yorker: “We received an order to ban the use of the words ‘war,’ ‘occupation,’ ‘invasion.’ However, we continue to call war war. We are waiting for the consequences.” — Caroline Vakil BBC suspends operations in Russia 1:43 p.m. The BBC has suspended its operations in Russia, according to a statement released Friday. Russian authorities have passed legislation that “appears to criminalise the process of independent journalism,” BBC Director-General Tim Davie wrote. “It leaves us no other option than to temporarily suspend the work of all BBC news journalists and their support staff within the Russian Federation while we assess the full implications of this unwelcome development,” Davie announced. Davie added that Russian language BBC news services will continue to operate and that the company’s journalists “in Ukraine and around the world will continue to report on the invasion of Ukraine.” “We remain committed to making accurate, independent information available to audiences around the world, including the millions of Russian who use our news services,” the statement read. — Chloe Folmar US condemns Russia attack on nuclear plant: ‘reckless and dangerous’ 12:48 p.m. U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield condemned Russia’s attack on Europe’s largest nuclear power plant in Ukraine as “reckless and dangerous,” calling on Russian President Vladimir Putin to withdraw troops from the plant and cease his military attack on Ukraine. “Russia’s attack last night put Europe’s largest nuclear power at grave risk. It was incredibly reckless and dangerous. And it threatened the safety of civilians across Russia, Ukraine and Europe,” Thomas-Greenfield said during an emergency U.N. security council meeting Friday. “Nuclear facilities cannot become part of this conflict.” — Morgan Chalfant Cruz criticizes Graham over Putin assassination comment 12:40 p.m. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is among the Republicans criticizing a remark by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) that appeared to call for the assassination of Russian President Vladimir Putin. “This is an exceptionally bad idea. Use massive economic sanctions; BOYCOTT Russian oil & gas; and provide military aid so the Ukrainians can defend themselves. But we should not be calling for the assassination of heads of state,” the Texas senator said in response to Graham. Graham has asked if there was a “Brutus” in Russia who might “take this guy out.” “You would be doing your country — and the world — a great service,” Graham said in a tweet. — Caroline Vakil Latvia to rename Russian embassy road to Independent Ukraine street 11:35 a.m. Latvia will rename the street where the Russian embassy is located in the Latvian capital Riga to Independent Ukraine Street, Reuters reports. The party coalition that governs Riga announced its agreement to change the street name Friday. The move comes a day after Lithuania announced it would change the road its Russian Embassy is on to Heroes of Ukraine Street. –CHLOE FOLMAR Biden to speak with Polish president, meet with Finland’s leader 10:05 a.m. President Biden will hold a phone call with Polish President Andrzej Duda on Friday morning, the White House said, which is certain to focus on Russia’s unfolding war in Ukraine. Poland is among a handful of NATO countries that share a border with Ukraine, where Russia has launched a large-scale invasion. Biden has deployed thousands of troops to Poland and other allies in Europe, though not Ukraine, to fortify NATO’s eastern flank amid the conflict. Ukraine is not a member of NATO. The call won’t be Biden’s sole engagement with a foreign leader on Friday. He is also scheduled to welcome Finnish President Sauli Niinistö to the White House Friday afternoon. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is also traveling to the region this week and is scheduled to be in Poland to meet with officials there on Saturday to discuss security assistance. –MORGAN CHALFANT Turkish official seeks talks with Ukraine, Russia diplomats 10 a.m. A Turkish official said the country is seeking to have Russian and Ukrainian diplomats meet for talks from March 11 to March 13 at the Antalya Diplomacy Forum. Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu said Friday the Turkish government wants to mediate talks between Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, The Associated Press reported. Lavrov confirmed he would participate in the negotiations, but Kuleba has not said if he would be able to go, according to Çavuşoğlu. –LEXI LONAS NATO says it won’t police no-fly zone over Ukraine 9:55 a.m. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg says the alliance won’t police a no-fly zone over Ukrainian airspace despite pleas from the country’s government. “Allies agree that we should not have NATO planes operating over Ukraine airspace or NATO troops in Ukraine,” Stoltenberg told reporters following a meeting of NATO’s foreign ministers. The comment echoes similar responses to the idea of a no-fly zone given by the Biden administration this week. Ukrainian officials were on Capitol Hill Monday pressing lawmakers to back a no-fly zone as Russian planes target hospitals and other civilian targets. But the administration quickly rejected the idea, arguing that it requires the U.S. Air Force to shoot down Russian airplanes flying into Ukrainian airspace. Stoltenberg echoed these concerns on Friday, arguing that the alliance would have to send fighter planes into Ukrainian airspace to enforce the no-fly zone. “We understand the desperation, but we also believe that if we did that, we’ll end up with something that could end in a full fledge war in Europe, involving many more countries and causing much more human suffering,” Stoltenberg said. “So that’s why we make this painful decision to impose heavy sanctions, provide significant support, stepping up support, at the same time not involving NATO forces.” –JORDAN WILLIAMS Ukraine, former UK prime minister seeking tribunal to prosecute Putin 9:50 a.m. Ukraine and the former prime minister of the United Kingdom are seeking a tribunal to prosecute Russian President Vladimir after his invasion of Ukraine. “This act of aggression by Russia … cannot go uninvestigated, unprosecuted and unpunished,” former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said, The Associated Press reported. “Putin must not be able to escape justice.” A war crimes investigation into Russia’s actions has already been announced by the International Criminal Court. “We are fighting against an enemy who is much stronger than us. But international law is on our side,” Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said, supporting the call for a tribunal. –LEXI LONAS Ukraine takes back city of Bucha 9:45 a.m. The city of Bucha is back under Ukrainian control after it was taken by Russians over the course of the invasion. A video posted by the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense showed Ukrainian soldiers raising the country’s flag over the city after winning a fight to regain control. The flag was lifted in a ceremonial act outside the City Council of Bucha. –LEXI LONAS Airbnb suspending operations in Russia, Belarus 9:40 a.m. Airbnb has announced that it will suspend all operations in Russia and Belarus. Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky, who has added a Ukrainian flag to his name on Twitter in solidarity with the country, tweeted the news Thursday night, shortly after Russian infantry attacked the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant near Energodar, Ukraine. Airbnb previously housed more than 20,000 Afghan refugees in the span of six months, boosting its goal number to 40,000 on Feb. 22. The news of Airbnb’s suspension of operations in Russia and Belarus comes amid increasing diplomatic pressure against Russia to retreat from Ukraine. –CHLOE FOLMAR Russian parliament passes law to punish journalists for ‘fake’ news 8:40 a.m. Russia’s parliament on Friday passed a law that makes publishing “fake” news a crime, according to multiple reports. If enacted, the law would punish any journalist who contradicts Moscow’s official statements on the war in Ukraine with punishments resulting in up to 15 years in prison. Under the new law, journalists must verify their reports on the invasion of Ukraine with official Russian government sources. The law comes as Moscow has also restricted access to several international news outlets, such as the BBC and Deutsche Welle. In addition to penalizing journalists who publish prohibited content, individuals could also face criminal charges for reposting content on social media that does not follow the Kremlin’s guidelines on depicting the war, reports the Post. –MAUREEN BRESLIN Ukrainian operator says employees at seized nuclear plant are working at ‘gunpoint’ 8:20 a.m. The operator of the Ukrainian power plant that was captured by Russians on Friday said the employees of the facility are now working at “gunpoint.” The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant was seized by Russia and a fire was extinguished at the facility in its training center. Petro Kotin, the head of the state-owned nuclear power site in Energoatom, said in a Telegram post that Russian troops “entered the territory of the nuclear power plant, took control of the personnel and management of the nuclear power plant,” CNN reported. “The station management works at invaders’ gunpoint,” Kotin said, according to CNN. Russia has falsely blamed Ukraine for the attack on the facility and says it is operating normally. –LEXI LONAS US Embassy calls Russian attack on Ukrainian nuclear plant ‘a war crime’ 8:15 a.m. The United States Embassy in Ukraine on Friday called the Russian attack on the Ukrainian nuclear plant in Zaporizhzhia a “war crime.” “It is a war crime to attack a nuclear power plant. Putin’s shelling of Europe’s largest nuclear plant takes his reign of terror one step further,” wrote the embassy, responding to the attack that broke out into fire Friday. The fire has since been extinguished. Russian forces took control of the power plant shortly after the strikes. The fire is believed to have been ignited by the strike of a Russian projectile, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency. The six reactors at the nuclear power plant have enough energy to power four million homes and they were reported as undamaged in the strike and international monitors said they did not detect any increased spike in radiation, according to a report by CBS News. –MAUREEN BRESLIN Graham calls for ‘somebody in Russia’ to take Putin out 8:10 a.m. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Thursday called for “somebody in Russia” to take out Russian President Vladimir Putin amid the invasion of Ukraine. “Is there a Brutus in Russia? Is there a more successful Colonel Stauffenberg in the Russian military?” Graham posted on Twitter, referring to the assassin of Julius Caesar and the attempted assassin of Adolf Hitler, respectively. “The only way this ends is for somebody in Russia to take this guy out. You would be doing your country — and the world — a great service,” Graham added. Graham’s tweet came as Russia and Putin face accusations of committing war crimes with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and U.S. officials saying the Russian president has been targeting civilian areas such as hospitals and schools. Graham’s comments quickly drew rebukes on Twitter by Republicans and Democrats, who found it irresponsible for a U.S. official to call for the death of a leader of another country. “Seriously, wtf?” Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) tweeted. “I really wish our members of Congress would cool it and regulate their remarks as the administration works to avoid WWlll. As the world pays attention to how the US and it’s leaders are responding, Lindsey’s remarks and remarks made by some House members aren’t helpful.” Fellow GOP Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas) also decried Graham’s comments. “This is an exceptionally bad idea. Use massive economic sanctions; BOYCOTT Russian oil & gas; and provide military aid so the Ukrainians can defend themselves,” Cruz tweeted. “But we should not be calling for the assassination of heads of state.” –LEXI LONAS Fire out as Russia seizes Europe’s largest nuclear plant 8 a.m. A fire is out at Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant as Russian forces have taken control of Europe’s largest nuclear site. Officials said the fire that started in the training center of the facility has been extinguished and Russian troops had taken over after an intense day of fighting, Reuters reported. The fire and damage that occurred was believed to be started by a Russian projectile according to the International Atomic Energy Agency. Russia has falsely blamed Ukraine for the fire at the facility. Russia also seized the Chernobyl nuclear plant at the beginning of the invasion. –LEXI LONAS The Hill has removed its comment section, as there are many other forums for readers to participate in the conversation.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Jeff Walz has had a lot of success getting players to transfer to Louisville over the last few years, including three starters on his Final Four team this season. He's not the only coach in the Final Four who has bolstered the roster by using the transfer portal as both South Carolina and UConn have found supplemental players from it. Still Walz, Dawn Staley and Geno Auriemma think the amount of players looking to change schools is getting out of control. “I always like to say, ‘The grass is greener on the other side because it’s fertilized with a bunch of bull,’” Louisville coach Jeff Walz said. “I think there are a lot of players that will jump into the portal after one year that don’t really have a good grasp of why they’re doing it.” Staley likened the portal to Twitter, Instagram or TikTok. “It’s a big ol’ fad that just keeps continuing,” she said. “Is it out of hand? It absolutely is. I don’t know how you control it. But it’s their way. It’s their way of controlling their own destinies.” Both Staley and Auriemma noted that there were currently more players seeking to transfer than there were scholarships available across the country. “You know those 850 people in the portal? Three hundred of them are not going to find a school to go to because they’re going to realize it’s not the school they just left,” Auriemma said. Despite the reservations, they're still playing along. Emily Engstler (Syracuse), Kianna Smith (California) and Chelsie Hall (Vanderbilt) have been key for Louisville. Engstler and Hall just joined the program this season. When Engstler was considering the Cardinals, Walz went to Mykasa Robinson to discuss how her role would likely shrink if Engstler were to come and gauge her comfort level. “She looked at me, and she’s like, ‘I’m tired of guarding her. If we can get her, yes, because she likes to win, and she wants to play with other good players,’” Walz said. SOUTH CAROLINA SUPPORT The Gamecocks have led the nation in average attendance for seven straight years, buoyed by a base of more than 10,000 season tickets. Despite the 1,200-mile distance from campus to downtown Minneapolis, there will be plenty of garnet-and-black-clad South Carolina fans voicing their support on Friday night when the Gamecocks take on Louisville. “They’ve been with us when we weren’t a popular team or we weren’t a whole lot to cheer about,” Staley said. “This is my 14th year being at South Carolina, but the last probably 10, the fans have given us a ride that’s kind of irreplaceable.” One of the catalysts for the attendance boom was giving fans as much as access to the program as they could, to build relationships and let the locals get to know the players as people. “You really feel the love in the community,” guard Brea Beal said. “You can go to the store and run into somebody and they’re like, oh my gosh, just freaking out. It’s like a family.” FOND MEMORY Walz spent one season at Minnesota on his climb up the coaching ladder, serving as an assistant under current Maryland coach Brenda Frese. That was 20 years ago, when Hall of Fame finalist Lindsay Whalen was a sophomore for the Gophers on a breakthrough team that reached the Final Four two seasons later. The women's team at that time played in a smaller gym, the Pavilion, next door to Williams Arena where the Minnesota men's team has played since 1928. A water pipe burst that winter, moving the women's team into the bigger venue. The Gophers were on a roll, and the first game in the building known as “The Barn” was packed to the rafters. “From that point on, we continued the rest of the season playing in the Barn in front of unbelievable crowds,” Walz said. ___ More AP coverage of March Madness: https://apnews.com/hub/march-madness and https://apnews.com/hub/womens-college-basketball and https://twitter.com/AP_Top25

On March 31, the JEP heard General Miguel Maza Márquez about the case of disappearance and genocide of the Patriotic Union party. In the stage, Maza insisted that he did not know anything about DAS follow-ups of the leftist movement. He also said that he did not remember some documents submitted by the magistrate of the transitional peace court, Gustavo Salazar, which ordered the follow-up of various political leaders. Maza said that these events occurred almost 40 years ago, so he can't remember every detail and used a phrase that didn't go well among the victims. After the intervention of the former director of DAS, the attorney delegate to the JEP, Alonso Pio Fernández, assured that Maza Márquez did not answer what was asked and gave incomplete answers. “You want to reiterate the respectful invitation, you said 'time passes and the truth goes away', but the idea is that the truth does not go away,” said the prosecutor who argued that the testimonies of the former director of DAS are vital to knowing the truth of the armed conflict. For her part, Martha Murillo, representative of the victims, indicated that Maza Márquez has not made enough progress in the real testimony. Regarding the crimes, Maza Márquez insisted that the safety of presidential candidates Bernardo Jaramillo and Carlos Pizarro - killed by paramilitaries - was not his responsibility but that of other DAS members Salazar reminded Mr. Maza that he is appearing not only because of his possible responsibility but for that of his subordinates as DAS director. Before closing the proceedings, Judge Salazar presented several intelligence documents, from 1986 and 1987, which list UP leaders, with specific data on their headquarters and activities in the political movement, who were later killed or threatened. Finally, Maza assured that the DAS was “a starving organism”, without the ability to carry out such follow-up actions. He pointed out that institutions with greater capacity such as the Police and the Army were operating in those places. He said he didn't give the order for those follow-ups. The lawyer of the former director of DAS, Victoria Grillo, explained that Maza made the commitment to the JEP and is bringing truth, but that, due to his age and health conditions, he has difficulty spinning the speech and answering some questions about facts that he cannot remember, however, he stressed that his commitment is to the truth . After the interventions of the Attorney Delegate to the JEP and the victims' representatives, who urged Maza Márquez to make an effort to ensure that this process helps to clarify the facts and to know the truth, the present proceedings were closed. In adjourning the hearing, Judge Gustavo Salazar set April 22 for the continuation of Miguel Maza Márquez's version of Case 06, which investigates the victimization of members of the Patriotic Union.

BRENTWOOD, Tenn. (AP) — A Tennessee woman convicted in the death of a police officer has been sentenced to 8 to 12 years in prison. Ashley Kroese of Thompson's Station was 24 years old on June 18, 2020, when she drove on the wrong side of the road in Brentwood, killing Brentwood police officer Destin Legieza, 30, authorities said. She was previously found guilty of four charges, including vehicular homicide by intoxication. She was sentenced Wednesday for charges in the crash that killed Legieza, The Tennessean reported. A blood test after the crash found her blood alcohol content was 0.166%, which is twice the legal limit. Members of Legieza's family spoke at the hearing. “Ashley. I don’t think you intended to kill anyone that day,” said Heather Legieza, the officer’s widow. “But you moving forward with the trial when you know what you did was with intention, you should have just taken accountability for your actions." Kroese, who did not testify at the February trial, read from a statement. “I can’t pretend to understand what you have been going through. I’ve never lost a husband, a son or a brother, and nothing I can say is able to ease your pain, but I am truly and deeply sorry,” Kroese said.

Mayra Saavedra, head of epidemiology at the Regional Health Directorate of Ucayali, revealed that more than ninety children have been infected with the coxsackie virus, known as the “hand, foot and mouth disease”. These cases have been detected in eight schools at the initial level in the city of Pucallpa. The official said that two of the educational institutions affected are Victoria Barcia Boniffati and Santa Rosa. In both schools, health sector authorities are already carrying out disinfection work. “This disease occurs in children under five years of age because they don't have that habit of wearing a mask. This disease is not only transmitted through contaminated hands, but through the respiratory tract. The actions we are taking are immediate,” he said to RPP. In addition, the specialist said that infected children will remain in quarantine for 7 days. For now, Diresa will carry out a macrodisinfection in the schools where the cases were recorded, to prevent the spread of this disease. Before concluding, the specialist asked parents to talk with their children and ask them to wear masks correctly. He also requested that if any symptoms such as fever, sore throat, blisters on the hands, feet and mouth, they should not be self-medicated, but taken to the nearest health facility. SYMPTOMS OF COXSAKIE VIRUS According to the Mayo Clinic health portal, these symptoms need to be considered. Remember that the correct use of a mask and keeping your hands clean is the most correct way to prevent this disease that occurs in children. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can cause all of these following signs and symptoms, or just a few. For example: Fiebre Sore throat Feeling of general malaise Painful, reddened, blister-like lesions on the tongue, gums, and inner cheeks A rash with redness and no itching, but sometimes with blisters, on the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, and sometimes the buttocks Irritability in infants and young children Loss of appetite WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW: The usual period from initial infection to the onset of signs and symptoms (incubation period) is three to six days. Fever is often the first sign of hand, foot and mouth disease, followed by sore throat and sometimes lack of appetite and general malaise. A day or two after the onset of fever, painful sores may appear on the front of the mouth or throat. A rash may follow on the hands and feet, and possibly on the buttocks, a day or two later. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is usually a minor illness with relatively mild signs and symptoms and only a few days of fever. See your doctor if mouth sores or sore throat prevent your child from drinking fluids. It is important that parents do not neglect their children and at the slightest symptom, go to the specialist and thus prevent this disease from spreading among the youngest members of the house.

As expected, Chattanooga officially announced the hiring of VMI's Dan Earl as its new men's basketball coach Thursday. The Roanoke Times had previously reported that Earl, who steered VMI for seven seasons, would be leaving the Keydets to take the reins at Southern Conference rival Chattanooga. VMI announced Thursday that associate head coach Ander Galfsky will serve as the Keydets' interim head coach while the school searches for Earl's successor. Earl succeeds Lamont Paris, who left Chattanooga last week to take the South Carolina job. Earl went 73-138 at VMI, including a 13-12 mark last season and a 16-16 mark this season. This is the first time VMI has had back-to-back seasons with a .500 or better overall record since the 2010-11 and 2011-12 campaigns. VMI went 7-7 in SoCon play last year and 9-9 in SoCon play this year. It is the first time the team has had back-to-back seasons with a .500 or better league record since the 2012-13 and 2013-14 seasons, when VMI was in the Big South.

After Will Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock on stage Sunday at the Academy Awards ceremony, Los Angeles police officers were prepared to arrest Smith, according to an interview with the award show's producer, but the comedian was adamant he did not want to press charges. In an excerpt of an interview with ABC News, aired Thursday on "World News Tonight," producer Will Packer said LAPD officers told Rock, "This is battery" and that he could press charges, and they were prepared to arrest Smith that night. "They said, we will go get him. We are prepared. We are prepared to get him right now. You can press charges. We can arrest him. They were laying out the options," Packer told ABC. "And as they were talking, Chris was ... being very dismissive of those options. He was like, no, I'm fine. He was, like, no, no, no." The LAPD put out a statement on the night of the Oscars, saying, "The individual involved has declined to file a police report." Rock made a brief reference to the incident Wednesday at a stand-up show in Boston, his first public appearance since the Oscars. He told the audience he was "still processing what happened" and would have more to say at a later date. Smith apologizes for outburst Smith met with leadership from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences earlier this week on a Zoom call and apologized, a source close to the situation told CNN. The meeting lasted for 30 minutes, during which Smith "apologized and they heard him out," the source said, adding that Academy members told Smith "his actions would have consequences." Smith has maintained a low profile on social media since issuing a lengthy apology on Monday. "I was out of line and I was wrong," he wrote in part. "I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness." A source earlier told CNN that Academy leadership "firmly asked" Smith's publicist for the actor to leave the ceremony following the on-stage incident, but Smith "refused and that was communicated back to Academy leadership," the person said.

Politics NFP’s decision is a mistake: Gavoka April 1, 2022 12:51 pm SODELPA Leader Viliame Gavoka. The Social Democratic Liberal Party says the National Federation Party is making a mistake by joining hands with the People’s Alliance. Although the PAP and NFP’s decision on a post-election coalition became official yesterday, SODELPA was hearing rumblings months ago. So much so, that late February on FBC’s 4 The Record – SODELPA Leader Viliame Gavoka publicly cautioned the NFP against joining hands with Rabuka. “I think they’re making a big mistake. They are assuming that the numbers (votes) in 2018 will be repeated in 2022 we don’t believe so in SODELPA.” Gavoka adds his party is confident of pulling more votes than Rabuka and PAP in the General Election. NFP and Rabuka go back a long way, and so SODELPA will pursue a partnership with Unity Fiji.

(The Center Square) – New Hampshire lawmakers are advancing a plan to expand sales of the popular KENO 603 lottery game. A Republican-sponsored proposal approved by the state Senate on Thursday with bipartisan support would allow convenience stores and supermarkets to offer the game if the community where they're located authorizes it. Currently, the game is only allowed in bars and restaurants that are licensed to serve liquor. To date, more than 90 cities and towns have authorized the game. The bill's primary sponsor, Rep. Tim Lang, R-Sanbornton, said the proposal seeks to fix inequities in the lottery system that require other retailers that offer other lottery games to pay out KENO 603 winnings without collecting the 8% sales commission for offering games. He said the move would also generate more money for the state's education fund. "There will be an incremental increase in revenues for the state, and that will benefit education without having to raise a single tax dollar on our citizens," Lang told members of the Senate Ways and Means Committee during a hearing earlier this month. "This is a win for everybody." New Hampshire Lottery Commissioner Charles McIntyre said in recent testimony on the bill that expanding KENO 603 sales to supermarkets and other retail outlets could generate an additional $6 million a year. Unlike Megabucks and other Lottery games, KENO 603 players choose from one to 12 numbers and place wagers ranging from $1 to $25 per game. Every five minutes, a computer system randomly generates 20 winning numbers from 1 to 80. The more numbers players match, the more money they win. New Hampshire residents have flocked to the games. KENO 603 sales went up by more than 65% in the previous fiscal year, the Lottery said. Overall, New Hampshire's lottery system is raking in cash, generating a record $518.5 million in total sales in the previous fiscal year. Overall sales increased by 32%, or $126.3 million, the Lottery said in a recent report. The proceeds broke the state's previous sales record of $392.2 million, set in the preceding fiscal year. The increased lottery profits bodes well for the state's education system, which gets a portion of the revenue from sales. In the 2020 fiscal year, the state contributed nearly $100 million to education from lottery proceeds. At least 18% of KENO 63 ticket sales are deposited in the state's education fund. The New Hampshire Lottery has contributed more than $2.3 billion to education since it was created in 1964, according to state data.

A Black college professor called the police on two Black students for arriving to class late at Perimeter College at Georgia State University, prompting outrage from the students' peers on TikTok. TikTok creator and college student Bria Blake posted about the incident on Wednesday evening. In the video, which has over 116,000 likes, she says two of her classmates, known as Taylor and Kamryn, were two minutes late to an English class. The professor, whom Blake names as Carissa Gray, asked them to leave because they were late. Gray did not immediately respond to NBC News' request for comment. Taylor and Kamryn were not immediately available for comment. Blake also did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Georgia State University said it is "looking into the situation." "We are looking into this matter and how it was handled by the faculty member. Campus police arrived after being called by the faculty member and immediately de-escalated the situation between the students and faculty member," the school said in a statement. "Clearly, no crime had been committed so there were no arrests." According to Blake's retelling, Taylor said that they as students "paid to be here" and refused to leave. Gray then left the room and returned with two armed police officers, Blake said. George State University Campus Police and the Major of Police Operations at the Perimeter Campus did not immediately respond to NBC News' request for comment. "Stuff like this cannot keep happening to Black youth in America," Blake said. "Stop weaponizing the police against Black people." "Stop weaponizing the police against Black people." College student and tiktok creator bria blake Georgia State University does have policies against "disruptive behavior" in the classroom, according to its student code of conduct. The school policy states that an instructor may summon campus police to remove a student whose behavior "poses an immediate threat to the safety" of themself, the instructor or other students. A Georgia State University representative said that policy refers to extreme behavior that may endanger others in the classroom. Calling the campus police over tardiness or other disrespectful behavior, the representative said, is not typical of university faculty. According to Blake, both Taylor and Kamryn were "terrified of what could happen to them" when Gray called the police, given the history of disproportionate police violence against Black people. "Calling the police on two students for being two minutes late to class is extremely unreasonable and dangerous," Blake said.

SPRINGDALE, Ark. — While many people seek to help during times of disaster, unfortunately, there is also an increased risk for scams and fraud. Following are some of the most common scams victims of a natural disaster could encounter: - Price Gouging - People often find that the cost of high-demand items skyrockets during times of emergencies such as storm damage. - Government Imposter Scams - Impostor scams come in all shapes and sizes with the same intent - to trick you out of your money and/or personal information. - Charity Scams - After a disaster or very public tragedy, people want to help in any way possible, and that often means contributing to fundraisers to help the survivors and the families of the victims. - Storm Chasing Contractors - Natural disasters like storms, tornadoes, and wildfires often bring out the best in people, as strangers reach out to help others in need. Unfortunately, the aftermath of a crisis also brings out contractors taking advantage of those who have already been victimized.
