Privia Health Group, Inc.: Mehrotra Parth (President and COO) (Form4)

As of Friday morning, 29,400 people had put their name to the online petition started by Sheena Ross, Jackie Coursey and Candice Milner from Rata Midwives.
The midwives say they have been inundated with messages from people wanting to help them keep the birthing unit open.
"We’ve had phone calls, emails and the number of signatures has been increasing steadily, especially after Gemma McCaw became involved," said Sheena.
"She has personal experience of being able to make a choice when it comes to where you have your baby, and Gemma knows understands how important that is."
The closure of St George's Maternity Centre would leave Christchurch Women's Hospital as the only birthing facility in the city.
Gemma had postnatal care after the birth of both her daughters, three-year-old Charlotte and 10-month-old Grace, at St George's.
Gemma and Richie McCaw have both signed the petition. Sheena said primary birthing services in the city should be increasing their capacity, not reducing.
"The Burwood primary birthing unit was the most well-used primary unit in the city," said Sheena who worked at Burwood until the primary unit closed.
"When it closed in 2016, St George’s was then the only one in the city and it is often over-subscribed.
"Giving birth at a primary unit or at home enhances outcomes for well-women with uncomplicated pregnancies.
"We are at a loss to understand why another key part of women’s health services is under threat, yet again.
"Not only are the outcomes better for mums and babies, but the whole whānau is a key part of the experience.
"Primary units are not like the main hospital; they provide a home away from home environment with the expert support of midwives.
"The loss of post-natal care option in a central city primary unit with St George’s current reduced service is reducing options for women.
"We should be building more primary birthing service capacity; in fact we should have done this before Burwood closed six years ago.
St George's will reveal its final decision at the end of April. | https://www.odt.co.nz/star-news/star-christchurch/fight-save-christchurch-maternity-service-gathering-momentum | 2022-04-01T01:19:15Z |

The US government categorically rejected any kind of involvement in the no-trust motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan, saying the allegations of US involvement are baseless.
The US government on Thursday reacted strongly as Prime Minister Imran Khan on Sunday brandished a letter during a power show at Prade ground Islamabad saying that it contains evidence of a foreign plot hatched against him and the Opposition’s no-trust motion is also a part of this foreign conspiracy to topple his government. On Wednesday, the premier’s gist of the “threat letter” was also shared with senior journalists. Meanwhile, PTI leader Faisal Vawda had claimed that a “plot is being hatched to assassinate Prime Minister Imran Khan.”
Responding to a question asked by a private TV channel regarding the ‘threat letter,’ the US State Department categorically rejected any kind of involvement
in the no-confidence motion against PM Imran Khan.
“Allegations of US involvement in the no-trust motion and ‘threat letter’ to PM Imran Khan are baseless,” said the State Department.
The US government is monitoring the political situation of Pakistan, however and supports the rule of law in Pakistan, the State Department said.INP | https://pakobserver.net/us-govt-denies-involvement-in-no-trust-motion/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=us-govt-denies-involvement-in-no-trust-motion | 2022-04-01T01:19:17Z |
Isles’ Aho, Hurricanes’ Aho score goals at almost same time
NEW YORK (AP) — Both NHL players named Sebastian Aho scored goals for their teams. And at nearly the exact same time Thursday night. Both also gave their teams 1-0 leads in the first period. Sportsnet Stats said Islanders defenseman Sebastian Aho scored his first goal of the season at 7:14 p.m. EDT in New York against Columbus. Just 34 seconds later and more than 500 miles away, Hurricanes forward Sebastian Aho scored his 31st in Carolina against Montreal. | https://kesq.com/news/2022/03/31/isles-aho-hurricanes-aho-score-goals-at-almost-same-time/ | 2022-04-01T01:19:18Z |
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Chin-ups, lunges, blaring music and some good-natured banter at 10 p.m.
The Phoenix Suns held off the Golden State Warriors in a hard-fought, playoff-type furious finish, then went right back to work after the final buzzer like they do every game — home and away.
“That’s who we are. We are a work team. Even though the studies show that lifting after a game helps with recovery, I think they really enjoy being around each other and they enjoy the work,” coach Monty Williams said. “… As I’ve said before, our guys are chasing something. When you’re chasing something, you don’t want to get to whatever you’re chasing and not be ready.”
Devin Booker’s two free throws with 34.2 seconds left put Phoenix ahead, Draymond Green traveled to turn it over before Chris Paul made a short jumper, and the NBA-best Suns beat the Warriors 107-103 on Wednesday night in a back-and-forth battle between Western Conference rivals.
Jordan Poole scored a season-best 38 points to match his career high and also contributed nine rebounds and seven assists. He had five free throws over the final 1:20.
Poole drew a loose ball foul on Booker with 39.8 seconds to go and converted two free throws before Booker came through for the Suns (62-14) in their ninth straight victory.
The Suns matched the franchise record with 62 wins, of which Booker said, “it means a lot.”
“We know what we’re working for, strength and conditioning is a big part of the game,” he said.
Paul hit a key jumper with 1:37 to play and finished with 15 points and eight assists, Mikal Bridges scored 22 points and Deandre Ayton added 16 points and 16 rebounds for Phoenix.
“We felt like we’ve been there before,” Paul said of the atmosphere. “Obviously this is an exciting environment playing in here, the crowd going crazy and all that but we’ve been playing a ton of games like that.”
Green had a three-point play to tie it with 2:25 left, the Suns committed a three-second violation on the other end but Golden State didn’t capitalize that sequence and Paul scored. Green and Jae Crowder had some words near mid-court after the final buzzer.
Booker scored 22 points but shot 5 for 21 — 2 of 8 from long range — while Torrey Craig missed all four of his 3-point tries.
The Warriors played better defensively while again without reigning scoring champion Stephen Curry, who is nursing a foot injury that has cost him seven games.
Poole shot 11 for 22 with seven 3s as Golden State returned home from a 123-95 loss at Memphis on Monday night.
“The tough part about Jordan is he’s learning how to play like Steph,” Williams said before the game.
Klay Thompson shot just 5 for 21 and missed nine of his 10 3-point attempts in Golden State’s fourth straight loss, seventh in eight and third in a row at Chase Center.
The Warriors had won the previous two matchups with the Suns, who have an eight-game road winning streak. Phoenix overcame shooting 7 for 28 on 3-pointers.
The teams split the season series at two games apiece.
Golden State coach Steve Kerr told his team during a morning meeting how well the Warriors played defense in previous meetings with Phoenix and that they were capable of doing so again despite the recent struggles.
“Draymond took a step tonight,” Kerr said of the improvements on both ends.
CURRY UPDATE
Curry is yet to resume on-court basketball activities while working back from a sprained left foot, but has been working on a treadmill in the water and in the weight room. He could be back to shooting soon.
“Trending in a good direction,” Kerr said.
Golden State dropped to 1-6 without him during this stretch.
TIP-INS
Suns: Phoenix won on the Warriors’ home floor for the first time in four tries since a 121-110 victory on Oct. 30, 2019. … The Suns won last season’s matchups 2-1 for their first victorious season series since taking all four meetings in 2010-11. Phoenix is 19-3 on the road vs. the Western Conference. … Cam Johnson missed his 13th game straight game with a right quad contusion. … JaVale McGee remained out because of a non-COVID illness, missing his second in a row and this one against his former team.
Warriors: Gary Payton II left for the locker room with 8:43 remaining but returned at the 4:54 mark to provide a key defensive presence down the stretch. … The Warriors came off a stretch with five games over eight days to now having three games in an eight-day stretch during which they won’t have to leave the state.
UP NEXT
Suns: At Grizzlies on Friday night having won two straight in Memphis.
Warriors: Host Jazz on Saturday night having won the last three meetings with Utah at home before finishing a home-road back-to-back at Sacramento on Sunday.

Liberal-NDP deal will allow government to “get things done,” say MPs
Last week, the Federal Liberal government announced it had struck a confidence deal with the NDP that could pave the way for the government to stay in power until 2025.
A key part of the agreement from the NDP’s perspective is to further their goals towards national plans for both pharmacare and dental care.
While critics have characterised the move as a “power grab” by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Aurora’s two Liberal MPs say the agreement will allow the government to further goals shared with the New Democrats.
“I was surprised (by the deal) even though there have been talks since the fall,” says Aurora-Oak Ridges-Richmond Hill MP Leah Taylor Roy. “Of course, being someone who has worked in business and has an economic background, the thought of additional spending was concerning; however, that really wasn’t my first thought. My first thought was more about the fact it would give us stability and help us get things done.”
Things have been “very toxic” in the House of Commons, she adds, and this atmosphere has translated to Committee work where there has been difficulty moving some agenda items forward.
“On reflection, I thought this [agreement] is good because we’re going to be able to deliver on the things we told Canadians we were going to do during the election,” she says, noting Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland assured Liberal MPs that eyes would be firmly kept on the budget for “fiscal prudence.”
Dental care, for instance, will be phased in first with children under the age of 12 and the goals will be carried out over “numerous budgets.”
“That allows us, quite frankly, to really focus on managing our country’s finances as well, which we all know is needed,” she says.
This perspective is shared by Newmarket-Aurora MP Tony Van Bynen who says his background as Mayor of Newmarket has given him an appreciation for the “level of collaboration” that has come out of the deal.
“[Parliament] had become hyper-partisan and it is time to focus on getting things done,” he says. “This doesn’t change the way our government operates, except the fact we do know that the government will be going forward over the next four budgets. The confidence vote doesn’t mean we can’t disagree. There will be times that we disagree with the New Democratic Party, but this…allows us to focus on the things we do agree on and that allows us to go forward.”
Pharmacare and dental care are things he says “we all agreed on” and says he sees particular merit in dental care.
“There’s a lot of support for the idea of how important it is to have proper dental care,” he says. “What’s important for us is on a very responsible basis that we phase it in on the basis that it is sustainable in the longer term and I think we will be able to come to those terms. The framework that has been identified talks about phasing it in and making some substantial progress.”
Both MPs stress that the agreement does not mean Canadians have a coalition government.
Mr. Van Bynen says Canadians voted “for a government that goes forward on the priorities that we set out in our platform.”
“What this does is create an environment [through which] we can make some significant and meaningful progress,” he says. “It’s all about working together and we have negotiated with different parties on different issues. It gives us a degree of stability that we can go forward in aggressively delivering on the promise we made in the platform.”
Newmarket-Aurora’s Conservative candidate of record, Aurora Councillor Harold Kim, however, has a different perspective. While Mr. Kim says he supports the idea of pharmacare and dental care, he says “the wishes of the Canadian people were essentially t-boned” in the deal.
“It is my belief that Canadians wanted a minority government as a result of the last Federal election in 2021 and the public is smart: they deliberately voted in a minority government because they felt a minority government would be best in this current environment,” he says. “But Trudeau circumvented the public’s wishes by striking a deal with the NDP and now active, democratic discussions will be pointless because all policy decisions have been determined.
“Pharmacare and dental care – those are positives. For the people who cannot afford a drug plan or they don’t work in a company that offers those benefits, and certainly a dental plan is crucial for quality of life… I welcome it. What’s missing are the details: how is the government going to pick? How are we, as taxpayers, going to pay for that? Having policies and providing service is great [but] we need to have more information on the other side of the equation: how is the government going to pay for it?
“Trudeau said the purpose of the coalition was to provide Canadians with predictability and stability and it will certainly do that. The coalition will continue to provide Canadians with exacerbated inflation, bloated housing prices beyond the reach of most Canadians and those in Newmarket-Aurora and a growing national debt with no plans to rein in our debt. Is that going to change? That is the trend line right now and that is what we’re going to experience based on Trudeau’s announcement.”

Most people I know think of me as a liberal but I am registered as an independent, because I value integrity in a politician. Some politicians I voted for in the past were John McCain, George Bush Sr., Joe Biden (because I hate crooks and idiots) and Jimmy Carter.
John Kennedy famously wrote (with help) the Pulitzer Prize Winner "Profiles in Courage," about some politicians taking stands on big issues not backed by their party.
If a pol published a similar book today it might reach four pages including the introduction. Better to publish a book titled "Profiles in Hypocrisy" listing those politicians whose constant quest for campaign funds and lucrative committee assignments drive their efforts.
The Supreme Court is supposed to be a pinnacle of unbiased judicial judgment, but appointments are being made based on their feeling on abortion, racial profiling and voter procedures. Special groups of conservative and liberal lawyers recommend their candidates for consideration. These procedures would gag a rat if tried in professional sports.
Meanwhile, our internet is awash with comments originating in Russia and China designed to keep Americans at each other's throats because they can claim that democracy doesn't work. And right now it doesn't. Even people who aren't institutionalized believe in QAnon and various vaccine conspiracies. The internet "news" is fed to people who already like the previous feeds-reinforcing idiocy.

Police: 13-year-old runaway girl dies at hospital after found unresponsive at motel
D’IBERVILLE, Miss. (WALA/Gray News) - A 13-year-old girl has died in a Mississippi-area hospital after being reported as a runaway from Alabama earlier this month.
WALA reports the Mobile Police Department first reported Keyanna Sylvester as a runaway on March 21. She was then found unresponsive in a motel room in D’Iberville, Mississippi, on March 24, according to D’Iberville Police Capt. Jason King.
Sylvester was taken to the hospital but later died, according to police.
The 13-year-old spent time in Ocean Springs and Moss Point, Mississippi, according to reports.
King said it was too early in the investigation to decide whether foul play was involved in the girl’s death.
“We’re making sure we’re careful about not saying whether it’s criminal or not criminal,” he said.
King also said police are waiting for a report by the medical examiner.
“This hurts me real bad because Keyanna was my baby,” said neighbor Alexie Thames. “You all need to help find whoever did this to my baby. "
Anyone with further information on this case was urged to contact the D’Iberville Police Department at 228-396-4252.

HONOLULU (AP) — The late Native Hawaiian hula teacher Edith Kanaka’ole is among five women who will be individually featured on a U.S. quarter next year as part of a program that depicts notable women on the flip side of the coin.
The U.S. Mint said Wednesday the other side of each quarter will show George Washington.
It described Kanaka’ole, who died in 1978, as a composer, chanter, dancer, teacher and entertainer.
“Her moʻolelo, or stories, served to rescue aspects of Hawaiian history, customs and traditions that were disappearing due to the cultural bigotry of the time,” it said in a news release.
The Edith Kanaka’ole Foundation in Hilo, which was established in 1990 to perpetuate her and her husband Luka Kanaka’ole’s teachings, said she has been recognized as “the preeminent practitioner of modern Hawaiian culture and language.”
The U.S. Mint said the other four women to appear on the coin next year were: Bessie Coleman, the first African American and first Native American woman pilot; Eleanor Roosevelt, first lady and author; Jovita Idár, the Mexican American journalist and activist; and Maria Tallchief, who was America’s first prima ballerina.
This year, the program is issuing coins featuring five other women, including poet Maya Angelou and astronaut Sally Ride. | https://www.mypanhandle.com/news/national-news/late-native-hawaiian-hula-teacher-to-appear-on-us-quarter/ | 2022-04-01T01:19:21Z |

TORONTO, March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - MediPharm Labs Corp. (TSX: LABS) (OTCQX: MEDIF) (FSE: MLZ) ("MediPharm", "MediPharm Labs" or the "Company") a pharmaceutical company specialized in precision-based cannabinoids, today announced its financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021.
- International sales more than doubled in 2021, to $9.5 million (44% of Revenue), driven by shipments to seven customers in Germany, including the completion of first shipments to STADA Arzneimittel AG, a leading European Consumer Healthcare and Generics company with a product presence in 120 countries.
- Germany will continue to be a priority market for MediPharm. It is already the largest medical market in the world, and is expected to reach a market value of €7.7 billion by 2028i.
- The Company significantly expanded its sales force, which led to new listings in all provinces including the Ontario Cannabis Store, AGLC, BCLG and entry into Québec and New Brunswick.
- The Company's provincial sales grew 18% during 2021, to $7.4 million, primarily driven by sales of new and innovative products. Q4 provincial sales grew to $2.8 million in Q4 from $1.2 million in Q3.
- In Canada, the Company launched new products including CBD 100 Ultra Formula Oil, THC30 Plus Formula Oil, CBN1:2 Nighttime Formula, 1:2 Relax Formula Oil, and a Northbound High CBN and High CBD vape cartridge.
- In Q4, MediPharm's cannabigerol ("CBG"), product was accepted for sale by provincial distributors, with initial deliveries planned for Q1 2022.
- Subsequent to the end of the year, the Company announced the acquisition of Shelter Cannabis, adding highly reputable, specialty dried flower and pre-roll products to its portfolio. This transaction fills a gap in the MediPharm Canadian product offering while leveraging existing infrastructure and overhead, and opens the opportunity to expand its current international flower business.
- MediPharm began to sell EU GMP certified dried flower in the international market during 2021, and it accounted for $3.5 million in revenue.
- Received a Cannabis Drug Licence and a Good Manufacturing Practices ("GMP") Drug Establishment Licence from Health Canada.
- Entered into a research partnership master agreement with McMaster University to develop drugs containing cannabis candidates, and began to provide clinical trial material.
- Began to ship Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients ("APIs"), to two well-known pharmaceutical companies during the year, generating early revenue in a business that is expected to grow significantly over the next several years.
- Subsequent to the end of the fiscal year, the Company entered the U.S. pharmaceutical market with the submission of an FDA Drug Master File ("DMF") for pure natural CBD APIs.
- Completed the payment of all outstanding convertible debt. The Company is materially debt free and has outright ownership of its assets, including two GMP facilities; one in Ontario, Canada and the other in Victoria, Australia.
Bryan Howcroft, CEO, MediPharm Labs commented, "MediPharm achieved several key strategic objectives during 2021. Our team opened key new markets both domestically and internationally, while increasing sales and marketing efforts to execute on these opportunities. Innovation is part of the Company's DNA, and the launch of new products through the year resulted in both growth in domestic sales into year-end, as well as a win for the Company's CBD dominant oil line at the 2021 Kind Awards, where it was named CBD Brand of the Year. When I joined MediPharm at the end of 2021, I saw a company with a solid foundation, positioned to be one of very few winners in the international cannabinoid pharma space. The team's progress against this objective during the year, culminating in the recent filing of a DMF with the U.S. FDA, reinforces that this company has the sophistication it needs to become an important supplier as this opportunity continues to develop."
Greg Hunter, CFO, MediPharm Labs added, "MediPharm is on solid financial footing, having exited the year with $34 million in cash, no debt and outright ownership of its key facilities. In Q4 we generated sequential growth in key focus areas such as domestic white label sales, and sales into the German market. We expect to continue building on this progress through 2022, leveraging recent investments in sales and marketing resources in the Canadian market, and the growth of the German and EU markets, overall. Over the next 12 months, we will continue to advance the Company's core focus on building a leading global precision-based cannabinoid business, while balancing that longer term focus with a commitment to innovation, revenue growth and progressing toward profitability."
Warren Everitt and MediPharm Labs have mutually agreed to end the role of CEO Asia Pacific, a position held by Warren. MediPharm Labs would like to thank Warren for his significant contribution to the business over the past 5 years and wishes him all the best in his future endeavours.
MediPharm will host a conference call and webcast to discuss the Company's financial results and outlook.

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted Gross Profit are not recognized performance measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted Gross Profit are included as a supplemental disclosure because Management believes that such measurement provides a better assessment of the Company's operations on a continuing basis by eliminating certain non-cash charges and charges or gains that are non-recurring. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, interest income and expense, finance fees, gain in revaluation of derivative liabilities, taxes, impairment losses on inventory, write down of deposits and share-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool as it does not include depreciation and amortization expense, interest income and expense, taxes, share-based compensation, and transaction fees. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as the sole measure of the Company's performance and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, analysis of the Company's results as reported under IFRS. The most directly comparable measure to Adjusted EBITDA calculated in accordance with IFRS is operating income (loss). The above is a reconciliation of the Company's operating loss to Adjusted EBITDA. See "Reconciliation of non-IFRS measures" in the Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis for the period ended December 31, 2021 for additional information. Adjusted gross profit is defined as gross profit/(loss) excluding the adjustments for accelerated depreciation, write down of non-current deposits and write down of inventory. Adjusted gross profit is a useful measure as it represents gross profit for management purposes based on costs to manufacture, package and ship inventory sold, exclusive of any impairments due to changes in internal or external influences.
Founded in 2015, MediPharm Labs specializes in the development and manufacture of purified, pharmaceutical-quality cannabis concentrates, active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) and advanced derivative products utilizing a Good Manufacturing Practices certified facility with ISO standard-built clean rooms. MediPharm Labs has invested in an expert, research driven team, state-of-the-art technology, downstream purification methodologies and purpose-built facilities with five primary extraction lines for delivery of pure, trusted and precision-dosed cannabis products for its customers. Through its wholesale and white label platforms, MediPharm Labs formulates, develops (including through sensory testing), processes, packages and distributes cannabis extracts and advanced cannabinoid-based products to domestic and international markets.
In 2021, MediPharm Labs received a Pharmaceutical Drug Establishment Licence from Health Canada, becoming the only company in North America to hold a domestic Good Manufacturing Licence for the extraction of natural cannabinoids. The Company carries out its operations in compliance with all applicable laws in the countries in which it operates.

New housing community in Stockton, CA, aims to get veterans off the streets
By Adrienne Moore
Click here for updates on this story
STOCKTON, California (KOVR) — In the city of Stockton, on any given night, an estimated 140 veterans are forced to sleep on the streets.
On Thursday, the city celebrated a new housing community dedicated to cutting that number down.
Liberty Gardens is a 74-unit housing community. From above, the brightly-colored building looks like any other massive apartment complex.
But inside, it’s much more. A man named Willie — and his twins — now call a three-bedroom unit at Liberty Gardens their home.
Willie served two tours in Afghanistan, and 90 days ago, he was sleeping on a friend’s couch. Today, he’s studying to be a nurse.
“It’s really worked out for me,” Willie said. “It works out for everyone.”
Travis Parker, an Air Force veteran, has settled into a one-bedroom unit at Liberty Gardens. He says it saved his life.
“I was on the verge of homelessness,” Parker said.
Stockton Mayor Kevin Lincoln turned out for the special ceremony celebrating the end of the second phase of building.
The $27-million project is paid for with city, state and federal grants. It’s a bright spot in a city where crime rates are high and homicides are also ticking up.
“This is exactly the kind of housing we need,” Lincoln said.
As for rent? That sits between $388 to $500 a month. The community has a computer lab, on-site behavioral health service and a preschool facility in place.
The mayor hopes other cities will follow suit.
“I think other cities and counties should take a close look at what we’re doing with housing here in Stockton,” Lincoln said.
Officials at Liberty Gardens say most applicants qualify for either Section 8 housing or veterans housing vouchers.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — In one of his tried-and-true motivational speeches, Mike Krzyzewski outlined his four pillars of team building: making everyone feel important, taking ownership in the team, adapting to setbacks and playing with feeling.
Duke perfected the first three to help Coach K reach his 13th and most amazing Final Four. Next comes the “feeling” part.
Now that the record-setting, 75-year-old coach is in New Orleans, he knows he must walk a fine line between enjoying the moment and letting it overwhelm both him and his team.
“I’ve always thought that shared emotion is the best,” Krzyzewski said Thursday, as his team settled in for its run at the coach’s sixth national title.
The Blue Devils (32-6) meet archrival North Carolina on Saturday in a national semifinal matchup plucked straight from a screenwriters’ script.
When Duke lost two games over the span of a week in early March, starting with the 94-81 setback to the Tar Heels in Krzyzewski’s final home game, the thought he might be coaching at the Final Four this weekend felt like a dream only a Blue Devils fan could believe.
But once the NCAA Tournament began, Duke started playing better. Wins over Cal-State Fullerton and Michigan State propelled the Blue Devils into the Sweet 16. There, they knocked off Texas Tech, then Arkansas. Krzyzewski passed John Wooden by qualifying for his record 13th Final Four. On Saturday he looks to improve on a record he already holds, by notching a 1,203rd career victory.
One of Krzyzewski’s keys to the turnaround was convincing his players that the rest of this season was about them, not him.
“This is our season, too,” Duke’s Wendell Moore Jr., said before the team’s win over Michigan State.
In many ways, Coach K’s final team is fulfilling the vision he shared back in 2015 when, fresh off a championship after his 12th run to the Final Four, he gave the keynote address to a gathering of U.S. Olympic athletes and administrators in Colorado Springs.
“You are not paying rent. You’re here, it’s yours,” Krzyzewski told the rapt audience as he moved through his four pillars of team building.
He talked about his first Olympic experience, back in 1992, when he was an assistant to Chuck Daly on the Dream Team. Krzyzewski was coming off back-to-back titles with Duke and thought he was a “hot ticket.”
His eyes were opened when none other than Michael Jordan approached him after a practice one day. Krzyzewski braced for the inevitable smack talk from the best player in the game, one who happened to have played at North Carolina. Instead, Jordan asked if the coach could work with him on some of his offensive moves.
In his speech, Krzyzewski said he realized something after that workout.
“It’s like a totem pole,” the coach said. “Michael Jordan was at the top of the totem pole. And I was near the bottom.”
But, Coach K said, ”Michael Jordan had a horizontal totem pole, where everybody was important.”
Though there certainly is a pecking order on this year’s version of the Blue Devils — freshmen Paolo Banchero and AJ Griffin look like NBA lottery picks — at least four players have scored double figures in each of Duke’s four NCAA victories. Five players average in double figures for the Blue Devils this season.
In his news conference Thursday, the coach spoke about the players taking ownership in their fate as the season wore on.
“When you go into competition, if you haven’t worked, you have a hard time trusting yourself,” he said. “But if you’ve worked, you can trust, but you also own it. You own it more.”
In his keynote address, Krzyzewski said his first two building blocks lead to the third, which is adaptability. In 2022, it played out after the losses to North Carolina, then one week later to Virginia Tech in the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament, forced Krzyzewski to take a long look in the mirror.
“I just had a good meeting with myself. I said that I’ve got to do something. I’ve got to help in some way, and part of it was my approach with them,” Krzyzewski said before Duke’s win over Arkansas in the Elite Eight.
Coach K described using the first five minutes of halftime during the Michigan State game to do something different by “just pull(ing) out a chair, and I sit with them for about five minutes and just, ‘OK, here’s where we’re at, and just talk to them.’”
Duke overcame a late, five-point deficit in that one, and now, Krzyzewski has led his team across his proverbial bridge that only a few lucky teams cross. They made it to college basketball’s biggest stage.
In his motivational speech, Krzyzewski said one method of getting a room full of superstars to “feel” the mission they were on at the Barcelona Olympics each night was to play the soulful version of the national anthem sung by Marvin Gaye at the 1983 NBA All-Star Game in Los Angeles.
The promise, the U.S. coaches told the Dream Team, was that they would hear that song twice on the day of the title game — once beforehand, then again while they were standing on the podium receiving their gold medals.
The song that closes out March Madness is “One Shining Moment.” Whether Duke will bask in confetti when that song plays at the end of the title game is a big part of the drama that will unfold between now and Monday night.
Whether or not it happens, everyone at Duke is feeling it at this point — even if the coach insists he’s been focusing on basketball.
“I didn’t do this season to have a storybook,” Krzyzewski said. “I did it because I wanted to coach one more year and I wanted to have a good succession plan for our program. And we’ve won 32 games, and my guys have been terrific.”

If you had to choose between a pond skim and cardboard box derby as a fun-filled way to end the ski season which would you pick?
The Weathers family of Dover did both.
On Saturday, Carl Weathers who grew up in Conway was the guy riding an inflatable pink flamingo across the pond at Cranmore during the Spring Splash while his young son and daughter Cian and Fionnuala participated, respectively, as Pooh bear and a monkey.
On Sunday at King Pine’s Cardboard Box Derby, dad was on the sidelines as the kids piloted a sharp-looking “Jaws”-inspired shark down the course.
“For all three of us, King Pine is the first place we learned to ski,” said Carl before the derby. “This is kind of our end of the year thing.”
The family also skis at Cranmore.
Splashes and crashes signaled the end is near for the valley’s ski season as the two areas played host to spectacles of thrills, chills and spills for the first time in s handful of years because of COVID-19.
Outside of Zip’s Pub Spring Splash costumed contestants from Batman to Rapunzel to ill-thought bikini wearers launched themselves down the lower North Slope and tried to cross the 85-foot long over 3-feet deep man-made pond without falling in. Most of the water-challenged daredevils didn’t make it.
The colorfully clad Nancy Kureth emerged from the pool and was asked what it was like to take the spring plunge.
“It was horrifying, but it was also exciting. If I never do it again, at least I wanted to look good and have fun,” said the member of the Ski Wheelers Skiing and Outdoor Club with a house on Kearsarge Road.
Fellow pond skimming rookie and club member also clad in vibrant spring clothing Mick Harris, 70, also fell short of crossing all the water.
“This was awesome,” he said. “It was a rush.”
Cranmore returned the pond splash in a season that also saw Mountain Meisters, a terrain park series and the Hannes Schneider Meister Cup.
“This year's pond skim we had 63 competitors, one of the most well attended pond skims we've had, also had one of the biggest group of spectators. This is always a very popular spring event, and we haven't had it since 2018/19 season, which I think is why we saw such a great turnout,” said Marketing Director Becca Deschenes.
Awards went to best skim and best splash for kids under 12, best skim and best splash for 12 and up, and overall best costume.
The cardboard derby was another signal of a return to the conventional in East Madison that also saw the renaissance of other popular events this season like the Pioneer Race Series, Cynthia’s Challenge and live music in the Trail’s End Tavern. King Pine, though now closed for the season, will host the Granite Backcountry Alliance's Wild Corn Shindig April 1 and 2.
“It feels a bit more ‘normal’ and we hope to continue that progress as we already begin looking ahead to the 2022-23 season with our season passes now on sale for that,” said King Pine Marketing Manager Thomas Prindle.
Some 35 entrants in sleds like trucks, cars, flying swoosh, giant shoe, dog beds, boats, groomers and winged thing ranging from last minute creations to those taking several hours to make took one memorable run down the approximately 75 yard long course on the Open Slope. Some were last minute creations; one took 40 hours to piece together. Rubber mats and catch fencing slowed down the sleds at the finish.
“I also appreciate that long-time King Pine legend Jack Ellis, who also heads up our race timing for Pioneer and all the alpine race events held at King Pine, is helping to coordinate the event including purchasing the custom, engraved glass ‘jelly bean’ jars that winners of prize categories walk away with,” said Prindle.
Those winners were based on time, style and crashes.
“It’s time to get out and do something silly," Ellis said. “There is too much seriousness in the world today.”
There’s still some skiing to be had. Weather dependent closing dates are April 3 at Attitash and Shawnee Peak (weekend $50 tickets), and April 10 at Bretton Woods and Wildcat. Sunday River’s got April 24 (free day). First check resort web sites. Get in those final spring turns before the ground is totally brown. | https://www.conwaydailysun.com/outdoors/skiing/thrills-chills-and-spills-highlight-valley-ski-season-s-final-days/article_ee84264c-af9f-11ec-a842-f722a98a923c.html | 2022-04-01T01:19:26Z |

Matthew Perry Calls Whole Nine Yards Costar Bruce Willis 'the Coolest Man I've Met'
Lee Celano/WireImage
Matthew Perry is sharing love for his friend and former costar Bruce Willis this week, in light of the 67-year-old Die Hard star's recently revealed aphasia diagnosis.
"Dear Bruce Willis, I'm so sorry to hear what you are going through, but you're still the coolest man I've met in my entire life," Perry, 52, wrote in a heartfelt note to Willis on Twitter on Thursday. "You will remain in my prayers for a long long time.
"Maybe we should get together and watch the whole 10 yards and get a couple of hours of sleep," the Friends star joked, referring to their 2004 film The Whole Ten Yards.
Dear Bruce Willis, I'm so sorry to hear what you are going through, but you're still the coolest man I've met in my entire life. You will remain in my prayers for a long long time. Maybe we should get together and watch the whole 10 yards and get a couple of hours of sleep.

RELATED: What Is Aphasia? All About Bruce Willis' Diagnosis
That movie was a sequel to the pair's first film together, 2000's The Whole Nine Yards.
In total, Perry and Willis have appeared in the three movies together. After striking up a friendship on Whole Nine Yards, Perry agreed to play an uncredited role in Willis' family film The Kid, also from 2000.

Willis' family shared the actor's diagnosis on Instagram Wednesday, writing alongside a photo of him on their Instagram feeds, "To Bruce's amazing supporters, as a family we wanted to share that our beloved Bruce has been experiencing some health issues and has recently been diagnosed with aphasia, which is impacting his cognitive abilities."
"As a result of this and with much consideration Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him," the caption added.

According to Mayo Clinic, aphasia "can affect your ability to speak, write and understand language, both verbal and written." The clinic adds that the condition "typically occurs suddenly after a stroke or a head injury. But it can also come on gradually from a slow-growing brain tumor or a disease that causes progressive, permanent damage (degenerative)."
Bruce's family's Instagram posts went on to say that it "is a really challenging time" for them all, "and we are so appreciative of your continued love, compassion and support."
"We are moving through this as a strong family unit, and wanted to bring his fans in because we know how much he means to you, as you do to him. As Bruce always says, 'Live it up' and together we plan to do just that," they concluded, signing the note from the actor's daughters Rumer Willis, Scout Willis, Tallulah Willis, Mabel Willis and Evelyn Willis, plus Bruce's wife Emma Heming Willis and his ex-wife Demi Moore.

In addition to Perry, other Hollywood celebrities to wish Willis well this week have included his Sixth Sense costar Haley Joel Osment, as well as that film's director M. Night Shyamalan.
The filmmaker, 51, shared a tweet on Wednesday sending support to the movie star, writing, "All my love and respect to my big brother Bruce Willis. I know his wonderful family is surrounding him with support and strength," Shyamalan tweeted.
He continued, "He will always be that hero on that poster on my wall as [a] kid."

Shyamalan said in a 2020 interview with The New Indian Express that he and Willis have remained friends over the years, telling the outlet, "Bruce and I have actually stayed in touch and our families have stayed close. So, we've stayed in touch and he's always been the big brother in my life … since I was a little kid, you know."
He added, "He's the one that took the big risk on me and protected me."
The two had so much trust in each other that Willis even signed onto their 2000 collaboration Unbreakable without reading a script, as Willis told PEOPLE at the film's premiere party.
"There was no script when I said yes. It was just an idea," Willis said. "[Shyamalan] wouldn't tell me anything, he wouldn't tell anybody. He just said, 'I have an idea for a script that I want to write for you.' I said, 'I'm in.'

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. | https://www.michigansthumb.com/news/article/Police-Officers-shoot-kill-man-in-Scappoose-17049819.php | 2022-04-01T01:19:26Z |

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.”

OCEAN CITY, Md. (AP) — A U.S. Navy aircraft with three people aboard crashed in waters near the Eastern Shore boundary of Virginia and Maryland on Wednesday evening, killing one, authorities said.
Lt. Cmdr. Rob Myers, a public affairs officer with Naval Air Force Atlantic, told The Associated Press the plane was conducting routine flight operations in the vicinity of Wallops Island, Virginia, when it went down around 7:30 p.m.
Two injured people were rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard and one was found dead in the aircraft, U.S. Navy E2-D Hawkeye, Myers said.
The plane, an advanced tactical airborne early warning aircraft, is based out of Naval Station Norfolk and assigned to an East Coast Airborne Command and Control Squadron.
Ryan Whittington, a spokesman for Maryland’s Ocean City Fire Department, told The Associated Press that it and other agencies were on the scene after the plane went down in Chincoteague Bay near the community of Stockton.
Whittington said a volunteer fire department in Stockton was the first to respond after getting a call around 7:30 p.m., adding other agencies were assisting.
He said waters in the bay were relatively calm as divers from his fire department and one other helped rescue two people from the plane. He added that they were taken to a hospital but he had no further information on their condition.
The identities of the three were not immediately released by the Navy or others.
“One person was stuck in the plane,” Whittington said, adding crews were working to remove the third person.
A statement released by Myers at Naval Air Force Atlantic in Virginia said the two crewmembers have injuries that aren’t considered life-threatening. The name of the deceased crew member will be released once next of kin is notified, WAVY-TV reports.
Whittington said emergency responders were staged at a George Island Landing, an area just on the Maryland side of the line with Virginia on the west side of Chincoteague Bay. The Eastern Shore location is about 150 miles (240 kilometers) east-southeast of Washington, D.C | https://www.mypanhandle.com/news/national-news/u-s-navy-plane-crashes-in-eastern-shore-1-dead-2-injured/ | 2022-04-01T01:19:28Z |
Judge Eoin Butler with entries from students at Ballinamere N.S.
Following in the footsteps of leading Irish artists who took part during their early lives – renowned figures such as Graham Knuttel, Robert Ballagh, Dorothy Cross and Bernadette Madden – young artists who submitted entries to this year’s Texaco Children’s Art Competition, including a number from Co. Offaly, are currently having their works evaluated as the judging process gets underway.
Pictured is adjudicator, Eoin Butler, holding two of the entries received from Co. Offaly this year – a work entitled ‘Stuck with Ariana’ (left), and another entitled ‘Zendaya with A Z’, both by pupils from Ballinamere National School, Tullamore.
Winners in the seven age categories, including one exclusively for artworks by young artists with special needs, will be announced in late May.
Currently in its 68th year, the Texaco Children’s Art Competition is the longest-running art sponsorship in Ireland. First held in 1955, it is hosted by Valero Energy (Ireland) limited – the company that markets fuel in Ireland under the Texaco brand.

Fourth round of Evaluations focus on top ransomware and wiper malware groups, including Russian cyber military unit
WALTHAM, Mass., March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Uptycs, provider of the first cloud-native security analytics platform enabling cloud and endpoint security from a common solution, today announced the results of its completed MITRE Engenuity ATT&CK® Enterprise Evaluation, Round 4. This round of independent ATT&CK Evaluations for enterprise cybersecurity solutions emulated the Wizard Spider and Sandworm threat groups. Wizard Spider is responsible for the infamous Ryuk ransomware family, and Sandworm is a Russian cyber military unit behind the 2017 NotPetya attacks.
"Ransomware is a growing scourge for all types of organizations and the focus of these MITRE Engenuity ATT&CK Evaluations could not come at a more appropriate time," said Ganesh Pai, Co-founder and CEO at Uptycs. "Security teams can use these evaluation results to identify gaps in their detection coverage. Our strong performance in both the Windows and Linux portions of the evaluation demonstrate how Uptycs helps these Security teams to detect even advanced ransomware actors, in addition to the hardening needed to minimize the risk of ransomware in the first place."
The MITRE Engenuity evaluations team chose to emulate two threat groups that abuse the Data Encrypted For Impact (T1486) technique. In Wizard Spider's case, they have leveraged data encryption for ransomware, including the widely known Ryuk malware (S0446). Sandworm, on the other hand, leveraged encryption for the destruction of data, perhaps most notably with their NotPetya malware (S0368) that disguised itself as ransomware. While the common thread to this year's evaluations is "Data Encrypted for Impact," both groups have substantial reporting on a broad range of post-exploitation tradecraft.
New advanced detection capabilities helped Uptycs perform strongly in the Wizard Spider and Sandworm evaluation, including:
- Ransomware detection - Uptycs provides generic detection and protection against ransomware attacks on Windows operating systems. The capability analyzes telemetry inside the endpoint agent so it can protect against the attacks in offline mode.
- Process code injection / DLL injection and process hollowing - Uptycs provides generic detection to process code injection and process hollowing on both Windows and Linux endpoints. Process code injection is a technique used by attackers to inject malicious code inside a trusted running process to evade detection.
- Master boot record (MBR) overwrite - Uptycs provides generic detection of MBR overwrite on Windows-based endpoints. MBR overwrite is a technique used by adversaries where the goal is to disrupt operations and make the system unusable.
- Lsass.exe memory credential dumping - To detect attacker attempts to steal credentials, Uptycs provides generic detection of lsass.exe (Local Security Authority Subsystem Service) memory credential dumping on Windows-based endpoints.
For full results and more information about the evaluations, please visit: https://attackevals.mitre-engenuity.org/enterprise/wizard-spider-and-sandworm/.

Report: Rain not anticipated when $7M in PPE moved outside
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. (AP) — An investigation has found that no one anticipated wet weather to start so early last fall when about $7 million worth of personal protective equipment and cleaning supplies purchased by a Northern California county were moved outside. After a KGO-TV news report showed hundreds of drenched cardboard boxes following an October rain, San Mateo County officials acknowledged the supplies were moved outside an event center to make room for a conference. An independent probe released Thursday found the county had no definitive timeline for how the supplies would be distributed before the rainy season, and no discussion on protecting the equipment in case of bad weather. | https://kesq.com/news/2022/03/31/report-rain-not-anticipated-when-7m-in-ppe-moved-outside/ | 2022-04-01T01:19:31Z |
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A bunch of one-and-done phenoms brought together by Kentucky coach John Calipari stepped onto the floor into the spotlight of the cavernous Superdome 10 years ago, oozing with the kind of NBA potential that made it clear their college basketball careers were about to end at the Final Four.
Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and the rest of them went out on top, too, beating Kansas in the Big Easy to deliver the Wildcats their eighth national championship and Calipari the first of his career.
Fast-forward to the present, and the return of the Final Four to New Orleans, and there is a much more old-school feel to the national semifinals as each of the the participants — Duke, North Carolina, Kansas and Villanova — benefited in one way or another from COVID-19 waivers, medical redshirts and the explosion of the transfer portal.
“It’s the oldest that college basketball has ever been,” acknowledged Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski, “so as a result of that, it’s going to be tougher to win. I mean, I think (Shane) Battier played the most games here, 130-something. We’re playing against guys that have played 160 games, sometimes three of them are on the other team. That’s a lot.”
Indeed, all four teams in the Big Easy have the kind of savvy veterans once seemed endangered in the world of big-time college hoops, and together they are proving on the game’s biggest stage that experience still matters.
“That’s why we shouldn’t be shocked at anything that’s happened in the tournament,” the retiring Krzyzewski said, “because the age differential is so dramatic. For us, it’s been dramatic.”
Yes, the Blue Devils are the youngest team in New Orleans, but everything is relative. They still feature senior Joey Baker and fifth-year senior Theo John, who began his career at Marquette and is about to play in his 162nd game.
The experience has paid off. Young, talented teams such as Memphis were bounced early out of the NCAA Tournament, while hardened teams such as Providence, Saint Peter’s and Miami made runs into the second weekend.
“It takes a significant amount of time to get everyone to buy into your program,” explained Jayhawks coach Bill Self, who has had more success with veteran teams than with one-and-dones such as Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embiid.
“But,” Self cautioned, “I would say that talent plus experience is what wins.”
Good luck finding a team more experienced than Kansas.
— Backup guard Jalen-Coleman Lands will play in his 171st game spanning stints at Illinois, DePaul and Iowa State when the Jayhawks face Villanova, trailing Iowa’s Jordan Bohannon and USC’s Chevez Goodwin for the most in Division I history.
— Mitch Lightfoot will play in his 167th game and second Final Four after making it with the Jayhawks in 2018.
— Arizona State transfer Remy Martin and big man David McCormack will have surpassed 130 games by the time their season ends, while All-American guard Ochai Agbajiis about to play his 121st game for Kansas.
In fact, the Jayhawks’ top eight scorers have appeared in 965 games — almost certainly a record for a Final Four team.
Maybe for any team.
The Jayhawks aren’t alone. Brady Manek spent four seasons at Oklahoma, transferred to North Carolina for one more, and will play in his 160th game against Duke in the second semifinal Saturday night. Villanova has two players, Collin Gillespie and Jermaine Samuels, who have played more than 150 games apiece, and two more who have topped 100.
Over the years, the Wildcats have become the poster program for winning with experience.
When they captured the national championship in 2016, they had four starters that had played at least 100 games, led by seniors Ryan Arcidiacono and Daniel Ochefu. The top six scorers on coach Jay Wright’s 2018 title team, which romped past Lightfoot and the Jayhawks in the Final Four, included four juniors along with senior Phil Booth.
“Everyone should applaud what they’ve built there, and of course Jay is the ringmaster of that,” Self said, “and how they develop their guys and fundamental they are. You have to beat them; they don’t beat themselves. And when you have older players, I do think a culture can exist, and they would be the top of our profession.
“When you look at our situation,” Self said, “we had Josh (Jackson) who was one-and-done, and I guess Wiggs and Jo were one-and-dones. That’s going back to 2014. But we’ve done it with older kids, too. We’ve done it with the Frank Masons and the Devonte Grahams and Landon Lucas. We’ve had comparable success with, you know, older guys.”
Everyone in this year’s Final Four has older guys, though.
The combined experience of Duke, again the youngest of the bunch, still far outpaces that 2012 Kentucky team or another collection of one-and-done national champs: the Blue Devils of Jahlil Okafor, Tyus Jones and Justise Winslow.
Their title in 2015 might have been the high-water mark of the one-and-done championship era, though. The rise of the G League, Overtime Elite and more overseas opportunities are providing alternative pathways to some of the best prep prospects. As a result the talent level of programs relying primarily on freshmen and sophomores is not quite the same, and in many cases, they can no longer rely on pure ability to beat teams that have been together for years.
Meanwhile, the recent passage of NIL legislation is allowing college athletes to earn endorsement money in college, giving them another reason to stick around when they might otherwise chase a professional career.
“Some of these teams, they’ve got kids, some of them are in their sixth year of school, because maybe they redshirted and now they’ve got the COVID year,” Florida Gulf Coast athletic director Ken Kavanagh said. “You’ve got older teams and they are maybe not good enough (players) to go to the NBA, but they’re really good, talented players who can make a difference.
“Older teams that have been playing together are usually more experienced than kids who are 17, 18 years old.”
Four of those older teams are the last ones standing in New Orleans this week.
“I don’t think it’s a coincidence,” Kavanagh said.

Poetry meets music at Aurora Public Library's 5 Poets Breaking into Song
Poems naturally lend themselves to song, but how each poem is interpreted can vary wildly from composer to composer, not to mention from singer to singer.
The process can take listeners and artists alike to unexpected places, and local audiences can see this unfold next Wednesday, April 6 when George Elliott Clarke, Poet Laureate for the City of Toronto, presents 5 Poets Breaking into Song, hosted by the Aurora Public Library.
An online presentation, 5 Poets Breaking into Song will bring together poets Giovanna Riccio, Louise Bernice Halfe, Anna Yin, Boyd Warren Chubbs, Astrid Brunner, Andrea Thompson and Clarke himself with pianist Juliet Palmer and composer James Rolfe.
Rolfe, whose most recent opera, The Overcoat, was nominated for ten Dora Awards is no stranger to this crowd. Having first collaborated with Clarke on their first opera, Beatrice Chancy, he is excited to be back in the arena with his former collaborator as well as these established and up-and-coming voices.
“I really love collaborating,” says Rolfe. “With each poem and each poet, the wonderful thing is it is very individual. They have their own fingerprints, their own voices, and the first thing I respond to is probably rhythm. A good poet will be conscious with their rhythm and phrasing and it really enables them to take flight from those words. There is something magical about putting notes to words. It’s like you’re breathing spirit into them and their words have their own spirit to start with. It is making them come alive.”
While he concedes that not all poems lend themselves to music, the best ones have a “livelihood” in their words – “words that almost have a bounce to them already.”
“I have met some of the poets [assembled for the event] so I haven’t necessarily heard them recite their poems,” he explains. “It is funny because I’ve gotten very familiar with the words through writing music to them, but to hear them say the words it might put it in a completely different light. In a way, I am sort of glad not to hear them in advance because it might jinx my own setting.”
More often than not, Rolfe says he responds intuitively to the words.
“If I respond with my heart, that’s the main thing.”
But his heart wasn’t always in the genre that has brought him so much acclaim.
Opera was akin to “a foreign language at first.” He couldn’t understand why people were so excited about the storied genre until, he says, he delved into it himself.
“I realized that, for me, the gateway was song – a song your mother might sing you as an infant, you might be in school and sing in a class or choir, but opera is not the first thing we hear. I really related to opera through song and then I realized we could make songs into a larger structure. I guess it’s the architecture of songs, taking full units of songs and weaving them into a larger structure. The great thing about opera, which I didn’t realize until I had written one, is it really hits people in a much larger way than you expect because in the middle of writing it, you’re putting it together block by block, but once you have a story, characters, and real, live singers on stage, it is much larger than life. It takes over.
“The main thing for me is that with each of these poems, you take five other composers they would write five different songs – all with the same words. That’s probably the most exciting thing. It’s nice that even though it is online there’s still a sense of being together, a sense of community, a sense of common purpose. That is really what we want do to it for – to connect with people.”
5 Poets Breaking into Song, presented by George Elliott Clarke, will be hosted by the Aurora Public Library online on Wednesday, April 6, from 7 – 8.30 p.m. To book your free ticket, visit www.eventbrite.ca/e/5-poets-breaking-into-song-tickets-276105447827.

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. | https://www.michigansthumb.com/news/article/Report-Rain-not-anticipated-when-7M-in-PPE-17049873.php | 2022-04-01T01:19:33Z |

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.

Sean Dolan and Olivia Feehan, travelling to Poland next week to help Ukranian refugees.
A St Rynagh's GAA dual stalwart is taking time out to help Ukrainian refugees. Sean Dolan, one of the most accomplished dual hurlers and footballers in Offaly, is travelling to Poland next Thursday with Olivia Feehan, from across the Galway border at Esker, Banagher in the Meelick-Eyrecourt area.
Cloghan man Dolan is staying indefinitely, depending on what help is needed and what value he can provide to the aid effort while Olivia Feehan will stay for two weeks before returning home to her work as a psychotherapist at TUS Midlands in Athlone.
The duo have also launched a big fundraising campaign in a bid to get money for refugees and Ukrainian people who have had their lives turned upside down and much of their country destroyed by the disgraceful Russian invasion.
A teacher at Banagher College, Dolan had taken a year's leave of absence with the intention of travelling to America and maybe other locations but the plight of Ukraine touched his heart and he decided to instead use the time to fulfill another of his life ambitions by engaging in charity work.
He is very well known to the Offaly GAA public. Dolan has been an absolutely pivotal figure as St Rynagh's have embarked on their latest golden era in Offaly hurling. They bridged a long famine when winning the Senior Hurling Championship in 2016 and have since won three in a row from 2019 to 2021. His performances at centre half forward or other attacking roles have been instrumental in their success story. A great ball winning forward with power and a strong engine, he is one of the team's leaders and his unique style, his ability to burst past opponents and create openings have added a vital piece to a winning jigsaw.
Dolan has played senior hurling for Offaly while he is also a very good footballer and was in great form when St Rynagh's won the Intermediate Football Championship in 2020. He brings similar attributes of power, pace and work ethic to the table for the St Rynagh's footballers but both could possibly have to start the campaign without him this year, depending on how long he stays in Poland.
Dolan stated on Thursday that he has informed new St Rynagh's senior hurling manager Kevin O'Brien of Clonkill of his plans and they will be keeping in touch. 28 years of age, he will, however, be putting hurling and football to the back of his mind for the next while at least.
“I always really wanted to do charity work and I said if I pass up on this now, will I ever do it,” he said. “It is a good time to put my shoulder to the wheel and help out,” he added.
He and Olivia have purchased a van and looked after the insurance and paperwork etc for this themselves. They have launched a Gofundme campaign to help refugees and people displaced from their homes in Ukraine.
He stated that the big crisis facing the country now is a lack of cash rather than humanitarian supplies with banks blown up and cash inaccessible. They want to get cash to help provide rent money for refugees and other displaced people as well as for their basic needs. They are working in conjunction with Irish Red Cross and are hoping to be able to attract donations from younger people who want to help out but are not certain how to do so, in addition to older people.
He and Olivia will drive to Krakow in Poland next Thursday, travelling by ferry to Holyhead and then to Rotterdam before the 14 hour drive to their destination. They decided to buy a mini bus-van rather than fly as it gives them more flexibility in terms of the help they can give out there. They will live in the van and then travel around the place as the need arises and help is needed by Red Cross and aid agencies. The van will also provide a much-needed refuge for the duo if they become distressed by the scenes they witness or human hardship they encounter.
He plans to help out with distribution of medical supplies, providing a shuttle bus to the airport, in soup kitchens and basically anywhere he is needed. They will provide updates of their progress and experiences on Instagram @irishhelpukraine.
The duo have contacted a few Irish people working in Poland and familiar with the situation there to assess the needs and as a result of this, they have decided this is the best way to help out. The cash they collect will be used to help refugees in practical ways and if any of them wish to avail of the generous offer of asylum in Ireland, they will assist them with organising this and help organise and pay for flights when necessary. Cash donations will be made to refugees, to assist them get started if they are going to Ireland or elsewhere.

Deals combine to more than 292,000 square feet of medical industrial and office space, including the Crothall Healthcare industrial building in Gilroy, California
GILROY, Calif., March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Mohr Capital, a Dallas-based privately held real estate investment firm, sold $65 million of deals over the past 80 days. This includes the recent sale of a 102,466-square-foot industrial building in Gilroy, California, to Four Springs Capital Trust. Mohr Capital sold two additional office buildings in Florida and Wisconsin, totaling more than 292,000 square feet of space, leading into 2022.
Located at 8190 Murray Ave., the property is fully leased to Crothall Healthcare. This mission-critical facility provides state-of-the-art laundry processing services to Northern California hospital systems, enabling them to continue providing medical care to patients. Kevin Moul with Colliers San Jose represented Mohr Capital throughout the transaction.
"We are pleased to have worked closely with Four Springs Capital Trust on this transaction. As our third transaction with Four Springs over the last 12 months, this transaction speaks to our deep partnership with Four Springs that we hope continues," said Rodrigo Godoi, managing director of investments for Mohr Capital. "Mission-critical facilities that serve regional hospitals like this still provide value in a market where occupiers and investors are redeveloping dysfunctional R&D product to suit their needs. We're pleased with the performance of this property, and we hope to continue to invest in the Bay Area's bustling industrial market in the future."
Additionally, Mohr sold a two-story, 78,449-square-foot office building in Orlando's Lee Vista Center business park to Falcon Global Real Estate Advisors. Located at 6272 Lee Vista Blvd., the building is fully leased to Accredo Health Group Inc., an Express Scripts company and subsidiary of the global health service company, Cigna. Prior to the sale, Mohr Capital worked with CBRE and CIGNA to secure CIGNA's long-term occupancy while at the same time lowering its occupancy costs.
Mohr also sold Riverwood Corporate Center II in Pewaukee, Wisconsin, in an off-market transaction to IRA Capital. The office building is fully occupied by ProHealth Care, the largest healthcare provider between Milwaukee and Madison. Shortly after acquiring the building, Mohr Capital worked closely with ProHealth to secure its long-term occupancy at the property through 2032.
"These three transactions support our trajectory to be a leading investor in mission-critical industrial and office facilities for the healthcare field," said Bob Mohr, founder and CEO of Mohr Capital. "We are always on the lookout for cutting-edge investment opportunities, and these sales were a great start to 2022."

Ex-minor leaguer ran major league sports betting operation
By BRIAN MELLEY
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Federal prosecutors say a former minor league pitcher was the ringleader of an illegal sports betting operation in California that used former pro athletes as bookies and active players as clients. Prosecutors said Thursday that Wayne Nix has agreed to plead guilty to conspiring to run an illegal gambling operation. They say he used his sports connections to recruit three former Major League Baseball players and a former pro football player as bookies. Clients included an MLB coach who lost $4,000 at one point and a professional football player who lost $245,000. One client wagered $5 million on the Super Bowl. | https://kesq.com/news/ap-arizona/2022/03/31/ex-minor-leaguer-ran-major-league-sports-betting-operation-2/ | 2022-04-01T01:19:37Z |
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Naomi Osaka’s eyes welled with tears when her match ended, an all-too-familiar scene for her in recent years.
These were of the happy variety.
For the former world No. 1, that’s major progress.
The unseeded Osaka defeated No. 22 Belinda Bencic 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 on Thursday in the Miami Open semifinals. She’s in a championship match for the first time since the 2021 Australian Open, and will meet either No. 16 Jessica Pegula or No. 2 Iga Swiatek on Saturday.
“Damn, I’m almost crying,” Osaka said.
Maybe not even almost. She hid her face in an orange towel a few times right after the match ended, at least one tear clearly making its way down her right cheek. Osaka entered this tournament ranked No. 77 in the world, will leave Miami no worse than 36th and would be back in the top 30 if she wins the title.
It has been a long, trying and often emotional ride for Osaka since her win in the 2018 U.S. Open final over Serena Williams. She was rattled during a loss at Indian Wells on March 12 following a derogatory shout from a spectator, withdrew from last year’s French Open to address her mental state and left last year’s U.S. Open in tears.
But in South Florida, one of the places she considers home, it’s been all support from the fans.
“From the bottom of my heart, thank you,” Osaka told them in her on-court interview.
Pegula and Swiatek — who will replace the now-retired Ashleigh Barty as the No. 1-ranked women’s player in the world next week — were meeting in the other women’s semifinal on Thursday night.
Meanwhile, Daniil Medvedev came into the tournament as the No. 2-ranked men’s player in the world. Hubert Hurkacz ensured he will stay there.
Hurkacz — the No. 8 seed and defending Miami champion — wore down the top-seeded and cramp-riddled Medvedev 7-6 (7), 6-3 on Thursday in a men’s quarterfinal.
“Every muscle just went ‘cramp, cramp, cramp, cramp,'” Medvedev said.
Had Medvedev prevailed, he would have overtaken Novak Djokovic on Monday and returned to No. 1 in the world rankings. Instead, the Russian will stay No. 2 in the world and find out who wins the Miami title on Sunday like everyone else.
“For me, it was more important in a way just to win the match itself than to become No. 1,” Medvedev said. “Winning the match, I saw it more as a bonus.”
Hurkacz, who is from Poland, will next meet either No. 14 Carlos Alcaraz of Spain or unseeded Miomir Kecmanovic of Serbia in the semifinals. Kecmanovic and Alcaraz play in the last quarterfinal later Thursday.
“I was returning pretty well, I was putting some pressure on his serves and that was helping my game,” Hurkacz said. “I was able to get some free points on my serve and that was pretty big.”
The other semifinal pits sixth-seeded Casper Ruud of Norway against unseeded Francisco Cerundolo of Argentina.
Hurkacz has played Medvedev four times, and Medvedev has been ranked No. 2 in the world in each of those meetings — which they’ve now split. Hurkacz improved to 14-5 this year, and his record in Miami is 12-1 all-time.
“Coming here is so much fun,” Hurkacz said.

NEW YORK (AP) — Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee have agreed to pay $113,000 to settle a Federal Election Commission investigation into whether they violated campaign finance law by misreporting spending on research that eventually became the infamous Steele dossier.
That’s according to documents sent Tuesday to the Coolidge Reagan Foundation, which had filed an administrative complaint in 2018 accusing the Democrats of misreporting payments made to a law firm during the 2016 campaign to obscure the spending.
The Clinton campaign hired Perkins Coie, which then hired Fusion GPS, a research and intelligence firm, to conduct opposition research on Republican candidate Donald Trump’s ties to Russia. But on FEC forms, the Clinton campaign classified the spending as legal services.
“By intentionally obscuring their payments through Perkins Coie and failing to publicly disclose the true purpose of those payments,” the campaign and DNC “were able to avoid publicly reporting on their statutorily required FEC disclosure forms the fact that they were paying Fusion GPS to perform opposition research on Trump with the intent of influencing the outcome of the 2016 presidential election,” the initial complaint had read.
The Clinton campaign and DNC had argued that the payments had been described accurately, but agreed, according to the documents, to settle without conceding to avoid further legal costs.
The Clinton campaign agreed to a civil penalty of $8,000 and the DNC $105,000, according to a pair of conciliatory agreements that were attached to the letter sent to the Coolidge Reagan Foundation.
The documents have not yet been made public and FEC spokeswoman Judith Ingram said the FEC has 30 days after parties are notified about enforcement matters to release them.
The Steele dossier was a report compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele and financed by Democrats that included salacious allegations about Trump’s conduct in Russia and allegations about ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.
Documents have shown the FBI invested significant resources attempting to corroborate the dossier and relied substantially on it to obtain surveillance warrants targeting former Trump campaign aide Carter Page.
But the dossier has been largely discredited since its publication, with core aspects of the material exposed as unsupported and unproven rumors. A special counsel assigned to investigate the origins of the Trump-Russia probe charged one of Steele’s sources with lying to the FBI and charged a cybersecurity lawyer who worked for Clinton’s campaign with lying to the FBI during a 2016 meeting in which he relayed concerns about the Russia-based Alfa Bank.
Trump, who has railed against the dossier for years, released a statement celebrating the agreement and once again slamming the dossier as “a Hoax funded by the DNC and the Clinton Campaign.”
A DNC spokesperson played down the decision, saying: “We settled aging and silly complaints from the 2016 election about ‘purpose descriptions’ in our FEC report.” The lawyer representing both the campaign and the DNC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The letter was first reported by the Washington Examiner. | https://www.mypanhandle.com/news/politics/dnc-clinton-campaign-agree-to-steele-dossier-funding-fine/ | 2022-04-01T01:19:36Z |

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. | https://www.michigansthumb.com/news/article/Thompson-and-Trump-meet-to-talk-politics-17049815.php | 2022-04-01T01:19:39Z |
PyroGenesis Announces 2021 Results: Record Revenues $31.1MM; Gross Margin 40%; Record Current Backlog of Signed and/or Awarded Contracts $47.7MM
MONTREAL, March 31, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX: PYR) (NASDAQ: PYR) (FRA: 8PY), a high-tech company (hereinafter referred to as the “Company” or “PyroGenesis”), that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes advanced plasma processes and sustainable solutions which are geared to reduce greenhouse gases (GHG), is pleased to announce today its financial and operational results for the fourth quarter and the fiscal year ended December 31st, 2021.
“We are happy to be announcing our 2021 financial results, which includes both our exceptional organic growth plus the results of our recent acquisition, Pyro Green-Gas, (formerly AirScience Technologies Inc.). We have posted a series of record numbers for the company, which includes record revenues for a Q4 of $7.2MM – a revenue figure that alone surpasses the full-year revenue of every previous year aside from 2020 – and yearly revenues of $31.1MM, which is the highest revenue we have ever posted for any full year. This is representative of our successful advancement and delivery of the backlog of signed contracts, and the benefit of the biogas upgrading projects from Pyro Green-Gas” said Mr. P. Peter Pascali, CEO and Chair of PyroGenesis. “The board and I see the record success of 2021 as both a validation of 2020s breakout results, and a new, stronger platform from which years of continued high growth will stem.”
2021 results reflect the following highlights:
Record revenues of $31,068,350, an increase of 75% from $17,775,029 year-over-year,
Revenues of $6,800,090 from the recent acquisition of Pyro Green-Gas, formerly known as “AirScience Technologies”,
Gross margin profit of $12,431,811 or 40% of revenue,

Best 4th Quarter in the company’s history, at $7.2MM, demonstrating further strength and stability of the company as a consistent, year-round revenue producer.
Milestone new market entry sales, including for the destruction of polyfluoroalkyl substances
OUTLOOK
PyroGenesis completed 2021 having achieved many important accomplishments and milestones. Most importantly, we maintained the accelerated business momentum of the past 18 months despite the challenges of the global marketplace due to Covid, and even introduced new markets and opportunities to provide a broader, stronger platform for 2022 and beyond.
Overall Strategy
Building on its strategy to offer technology solutions that provide benefits from greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions reduction, the Company increased its offerings in this regard through a series of adjustments, such as internal capacity scaling, diversified sales channel targeting, and external vision – resulting in, most notably, the doubling of production staff, contract wins in new sectors, and the acquisition of AirScience Technologies and its subsequent re-launch as Pyro Green-Gas.
While we had previously considered our strategy to be timely, as many governments are stimulating their respective economies by promoting and funding both environmental technologies and infrastructure projects, 2021 proved an even greater affirmation of this approach, as major industries and organizations targeted by the Company not only recommitted to their targets, but in some cases raised them significantly. For instance, in the iron ore and steel-making sector, in October 2021, Rio Tinto unveiled new targets to reduce its scope 1 & 2 emissions by 50 per cent by 2030, more than tripling its previous targets.1
As stated, many times, most of PyroGenesis’ product lines do not depend on environmental incentives (tax credits GHG certificates, environmental subsidies, etc.) to be economically viable; with the increased commitments by industry to carbon reduction, it is anticipated that the Company’s growth drivers will expand, and shareholders will see increased value.
Furthermore, the experience gained over the past two years as we, and our prospective clients, manoeuvred through both the lengthy modelling and business-case development processes, and the government incentive and procurement system, has provided immeasurable insights into various bureaucratic and government processes – affording a much clearer understanding of the process, enhancing our ability to respond to future situations, and giving us better vision and a rebalance of expectations regarding timeline control. This knowledge will only serve to enhance what management has defined as government incentive-related tailwinds into an already strong pipeline, all with a positive impact on revenues and shareholder value.
The Company is not immune to the negative impact that COVID-19 and other external factors brought on businesses, specifically related to the workforce and, more importantly, the supply chain. However, Management believes that the Company is better situated than most, and through various mitigation measures these challenges continue to be dealt with in an effective manner. The Company expects even greater improvements as the impact of COVID-19 and other external factors continues to recede after Q2 2022.
Organic Growth
Organic growth will be spurred on by (i) the natural growth of our existing offerings, which continue to be accelerated given our strong balance sheet (ii) leveraging off our “Golden Ticket” advantage that allows us to see first-hand some of the additional and peripheral needs of our customers, and (iii) exploring new ways scientifically (and corresponding markets laterally) to provide unique solutions and value that helps industries deal with some of the most pressing environmental, engineering, and energy problems.
We have described in the past our Golden Ticket advantage as one which occurs when one sells directly, or is engaged directly, with the end user and, as a result, is regularly on-site in the customer’s operations – “inside the fence”. A Golden Ticket provides the opportunity to either, (i) cross sell other products or, ideally, (ii) identify new areas of concern that can be addressed uniquely by PyroGenesis.
Over the past several years, PyroGenesis has successfully positioned each of its business lines for rapid growth by strategically partnering with multi-billion-dollar entities. These entities have identified PyroGenesis’ offerings to be unique, in demand, and of such a commercial nature as to warrant such unique relationships. We expect that these relationships are now positioned to transition into significant revenue streams.
Regarding how new scientific efforts lead to new markets, in 2021 the Company transitioned its knowledge in waste destruction to consider solving some of the challenges related to polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS), the hazardous “forever chemicals” the EPA has defined as an emerging event requiring fast attention. After winning an initial competitive bidding process to provide a $9.2MM system, the Company sees continued momentum in this area in 2022 and beyond.
Aluminum Industry Process Improvement
Momentum with PyroGenesis’ Aluminum Industry strategy and offering continues to not just bear fruit, but to explode in opportunity in several different directions.
In 2021, the Company concluded a joint venture and a license agreement with an existing and proven technology provider. The technology is geared to uniquely handle the residues resulting from the processing of dross in the aluminum industry. We had previously announced our intention to secure this technology and would not only make our traditional DROSRITE™ offering more appealing but could also be offered as a stand-alone product. We believe that valorizing the residues and producing high end products will further define us as the go-to company for all dross related processing. This is a prime example of our “Coffee & Donuts” strategy in play. The joint venture will only relate to the new technology and, as such, PyroGenesis will not have to vet in any assets or IP (specifically not the DROSRITE™ technology).
Overall, the Company is now one of the largest and certainly the fastest growing dross recovery solutions in the world, with 13 large DROSRITE™ systems in use or slated for delivery to markets around the world. The Company also continue to increase the price and the efficiency of its systems, and is pitching several more contracts as of the writing of this document.
Steel Industry Process Improvement
With steelmaking one of the most carbon-emission intensive industries in the world, estimated to be responsible for between 7 to 12 per cent of all global fossil fuel and greenhouse gas emissions, that industry continues to be under intense pressure, including huge financial penalties, to find emission reductions.
This pressure on the steel-making industry allows PyroGenesis to expect demand for its upstream, iron ore pelletization solution to increase significantly, as steel-makers look to all aspects of the production lifecycle for carbon reduction opportunities.
Serious consideration is being given to replacing large numbers of the fossil fuel burners in iron ore pelletization with PyroGenesis’ proprietary and patented plasma torches. To date, everything is proceeding as expected. Initial discussions with potential customers have evolved into confirmation stages, computer simulations, business case development, and initial torch orders for in-factory testing with two of the largest steel-making and mining companies in the world. As these torches are tested in live settings over the coming months, the company expects a resulting roll-out program to replace many, if not all, fossil fuel burners with PyroGenesis’ plasma torches in the customers’ iron ore pelletization furnaces – a technology process for which PyroGenesis, as the patent holder, commands a significant competitive advantage.
PyroGenesis expects that the previously mentioned government initiatives, geared to stimulating their respective economies by promoting and funding environmental technologies and infrastructure projects, will only serve to increase interest in PyroGenesis’ plasma torch offerings to other companies in this space. While potential clients seeking government support for large initiatives may draw out the onset of large contracts, the sheer number of potential customers, and the fact that the Company will engage with many of them in different stages at different times, will help to ensure a long, overlapping pipeline of potential projects.
In addition, PyroGenesis is proactively targeting other industries which are experiencing significant pressure to reduce GHGs, and which utilize fossil fuel burners as well, such as the cement, aluminum, and automotive industries.
Plasma Torches for Emerging / Niche Markets
Separately, the Company also offers plasma torches to emerging / niche markets where there is a high probability of on-going sales from successful implementation.
One such example is in land-based waste destruction applications, more specifically for medical waste. The Company signed a contract in August 2021 to supply two Air Plasma Torch systems to an existing client to be used in the destruction of such medical waste.
Another example is the previously announced contract with a technology startup to produce a plasma torch ideal for tunneling. PyroGenesis has reason to believe that the real plasma-based tunneling opportunity may lie outside of the scope of the current agreement. As a result, PyroGenesis terminated this arrangement and this project with this client has ended. PyroGenesis is evaluating, and intends to pursue, plasma based tunneling opportunities, specifically those identified to be outside of the scope of the current agreement at a later date.
For each new market, the Company will also benefit from providing proprietary spare parts and service, which generates significant recurring revenue, thus complementing the Company’s long-term strategy to build a recurring revenue model.
Additive Manufacturing (Metal Powders for 3D Printing)
With respect to additive manufacturing, we continue to expect to see significant year over year improvements in our 3D metal powders offering as our NexGen™ facility, which incorporates all the previously disclosed benefits (increased production rates and lower capital & operating expenditures), is now officially on-line and operational.
Of note, a major tier-one global aerospace company has already entered into an agreement with the Company to formally qualify its powder, at considerable expense to the global aerospace company, with a view towards having the Company become a supplier.
There are additional major top tier aerospace companies and OEMs, in both Europe and North America, eagerly awaiting powders from this new state-of-the-art production line, and we are currently in the process of supplying sample powders to them for analysis.
The Company expects that such developments will continue and will translate into significant improvements in contributions to revenue by this segment in the mid-long term.
HPQ/PUREVAP™
With respect to HPQ, the goal is to continue to expand our role as HPQ’s technology provider for the game changing family of silicon processes which we are developing exclusively for HPQ and its wholly owned subsidiaries HPQ Nano Silicon Powders Inc. and HPQ Silica Polvere Inc., namely:
The PUREVAP™ “Quartz Reduction Reactors” (QRR), an innovative process (patent pending), which should permit the one step transformation of lower purity quartz (SiO2) than any traditional processes can handle into a silicon (Si) of a higher purity level (2N-4N) that can be produced by any traditional smelter, at reduced costs, energy input, and carbon footprint. The unique capabilities of this process could position HPQ as a leading provider of the specialised silicon material needed to propagate its considerable renewable energy potential; and
The PUREVAP™ Nano Silicon Reactor (NSiR), which, if successful, could position itself as a new proprietary low-cost process that can transform the silicon (Si) made by the PUREVAP™ QRR into the nano-silicon materials (spherical silicon powders and silicon nanowires) sought after by energy storage, batteries, electric vehicle manufactures and clean hydrogen sectors participants. The aim of the ongoing work is to position HPQ NANO as the first to market with a commercial scale low-cost nanoparticle production system.
A new plasma-based process that could convert Silica (Quartz, SiO2) into fumed silica (Pyrogenic Silica) in one step. This new process could be a low-cost and environmentally friendly option that combines HPQ Silicon High Purity Quartz initiatives with PyroGenesis’ industry leading know-how in the development of commercial plasma processes. It is envisioned that the process will eliminate harmful chemicals presently generated by traditional methods. This new process could revolutionize the manufacturing of fumed silica, while repatriating production back to North America.
Government participation in a $5.3MM funding of the fumed silica project confirms our expectation that 2021 should be a year in which significant developments occur on all these fronts.
Land Based Units/Environmental
The Company did not previously aggressively target the Company’s land-based/environmental solutions during the period where the Company’s other offerings, such as in steel-making and aluminum industry process improvement, were accelerating.
However, during 2021, interest in the Company’s capabilities in this arena was renewed. Besides the interest in niche torch applications mentioned above (ex. medical waste), PyroGenesis’ plasma-based solutions have generated interest in processing a waste stream that has recently been classified as hazardous. Management believes that, in a current bidding process, its solution is the technology of choice. If successful, this will represent a significant positioning of PyroGenesis plasma-based solutions not only for this specific product line but, when taken in conjunction with the historic success with its offering on US Aircraft carriers, the land based/environmental segment in general.
Growth through Synergistic Mergers and Acquisitions
As previously disclosed, the Company is conservatively considering synergistic merger and acquisition strategies to augment its growth, and the Company has been very actively involved in pursuing several opportunities to support this strategy. In so doing, the focus has been on private companies exclusively which (i) primarily leverage the Company’s Golden Ticket advantage, or (ii) could uniquely benefit from the Company’s engineering advantage and/or international relationships.
During 2021, the Company acquired AirScience Technologies Inc. (“AST”), a company with experience in biogas upgrading. PyroGenesis believes that AST’s experience in biogas upgrading, combined with PyroGenesis’ engineering and multidisciplinary skills, as well as its proven record of meeting the exacting demands of multibillion-dollar companies and the US military, positions the combination well to address the opportunities arising from this growing need to generate renewable natural gas.
The acquisition of AST also provides potential synergies with PyroGenesis’ land-based waste destruction offerings which, if successful, will significantly increase their value to the market. AST’s technology complements PyroGenesis’ existing offerings and further strengthens PyroGenesis’ position as an emerging leader in GHG solutions for sustainable long-term growth.
Our objective is to strengthen AST’s operations and quality control systems, over the course of the next 12-18 months, while at the same time increasing the backlog of signed contracts and successfully delivering on existing contracts thus positioning AST as a significant and credible player in the marketplace. Once established, we will evaluate our options to accelerate the rollout of these solutions.
Additional Opportunities - Plasma Torches:
Within the Plasma Torch line of business, the Company continues to consider options to leverage its plasma expertise and continue to review torch technologies that could complement existing offerings, leverage off their unique relationships, or explore new opportunities.

Financial Summary
Revenues
PyroGenesis recorded revenues of $31,068,350 for the year ended December 31, 2021, representing an increase of 75% compared to $17,775,029 recorded in 2020.
Revenues recorded in fiscal 2021 were generated primarily from:
PUREVAP™ related sales includes revenue from the sale of technologies in the amount of $3,300,000. See note 6 to the 2021 consolidated Financial Statements.
Cost of Sales and Services and Gross Margins
Cost of sales and services before amortization of intangible assets was $18,170,626 in 2021, representing an increase of 144% compared to $7,445,171 in 2020, primarily due to the additional costs to complete the Pyro Green-Gas contracts following the acquisition. Increases in employee compensation $2,650,739 (2020 - $1,379,637), direct materials $14,252,205 (2020 - $4,147,704), manufacturing overhead & other $1,111,975 (2020 - $507,217), were offset by a decrease in subcontracting $872,933 (2020 - $1,281,472), foreign exchange charge on materials ($568,531) (2020 - $147,561) and an increase in investment tax credits ($148,695) (2020 – ($18,420)).
In 2021, employee compensation, direct materials, manufacturing overhead & other increased to $18,014,919 (2020 - $6,034,558), primarily due to the increased amount of contract values in the Company and in the Pyro Green-Gas subsidiaries. Of note, the Company in 2020 applied for an amount of $775,967 in wage subsidy from the Government of Canada under the CEWS “Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy” program. From this amount, $118,416 was applied to employee compensation under cost of sales and services. Subcontracting and foreign exchange charge on materials decreased to $304,402 (2020 - $1,429,033).
The gross margin for 2021 was $12,431,811 or 40% of revenue compared to a gross margin of $10,302,668 or 58% of revenue for 2020. As a result of the type of contracts being executed, the nature of the project activity, as well as the composition of the cost of sales and services, the mix between labour, materials and subcontracts may be significantly different. The cost of sales and services for 2021 and 2020 are in line with management’s expectations.
Investment tax credits recorded against cost of sales are related to projects that qualify for tax credits from the provincial government of Quebec. Qualifying tax credits increased to $148,695 in 2021, compared to $18,420 in 2020. The increase is primarily related to more contracts being eligible for qualifying tax credits.
The amortization of intangible assets of $465,913 in 2021 compared to $27,190 for 2020 relates mainly to the intangible assets in connection with the Pyro Green-Gas acquisition, patents and deferred development costs. These expenses are non-cash items and will be amortized over the duration of the patent lives.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Included within Selling, General and Administrative expenses (“SG&A”) are costs associated with corporate administration, business development, project proposals, operations administration, investor relations and employee training.
SG&A expenses for 2021 excluding the costs associated with share-based compensation (a non-cash item in which the option expense is amortized over the vesting period) were $17,474,390 representing an increase of 116% compared to $8,089,945 reported for 2020.
The SG&A expenses, which now include those of Pyro Green-Gas since the acquisition date, increased in 2021 over the same period in 2020 and the net effect is as follows:
Separately, share-based payments increased by $5,518,137 in 2021 over the same period in 2020 as a result of the stock options granted in 2021. This was directly impacted by the vesting structure of the stock option plan with options vesting between 10% and 100% on the grant date requiring an immediate recognition of that cost.
Research and Development (“R&D”) Costs
The Company incurred $2,535,987 of R&D expenses, net of government grants, on internal projects in 2021, an increase of 447% compared to ($731,077) in 2020. The increase in 2021 is due to an increase in R&D activities, the type of contracts being executed, the nature of the project activity, and an increase in employee compensation, subcontracting, materials and equipment and other expenses of $2,000,853 compared to $775,824 and a decrease in investment tax credits of 684,709 compared to (1,141,468) reported in 2020.
In addition to internally funded R&D projects, the Company also incurred R&D expenditures during the execution of client funded projects. These expenses are eligible for Scientific Research and Experimental Development (“SR&ED”) tax credits. SR&ED tax credits on client funded projects are applied against cost of sales and services (see “Cost of Sales” above).
Financial Expenses
Finance expenses for 2021 totaled $404,370 as compared with $524,074 for 2020, representing a decrease of 23% year-over-year. The decrease in finance costs, is primarily attributable to the extinguishment of term loans, other loans, and convertible debentures in 2020.
Strategic Investments
The adjustment to the fair market value of strategic investments in 2021 resulted in a loss of $21,426,218 compared to a gain in the amount of $44,626,698 in 2020, representing a decrease of $66,052,916. The decrease is primarily attributable to the decreased market share value of common shares and warrants owned by the Company of HPQ Silicon Resources Inc.
Comprehensive (Loss) Income
The comprehensive loss for 2021 of $38,428,495 compared to an income of $41,768,404, in 2020, represents a decrease of 192% year-over-year. The variation of $80,196,899 in the comprehensive income (loss) in 2021 is primarily attributable to the factors described above, which have been summarized as follows, and includes the profit and loss items of Pyro Green-Gas since the acquisition date:
EBITDA
The EBITDA in 2021 was a $37,371,658 loss compared to an EBITDA gain of $43,824,533 for 2020, representing a decrease of 185% year-over-year. The decrease in the EBITDA in 2021 compared to 2020 is due to the decrease in net earnings and comprehensive income of $80,196,899, offset by an increase in depreciation on property and equipment of $292,985, an increase in depreciation on right-of-use assets of $162,076, an increase in amortization of intangible assets of $438,723, a decrease in finance charges of $119,704 and a decrease in income taxes of $1,773,372.
Adjusted EBITDA in 2021 was a $27,608,913 loss compared to an Adjusted EBITDA gain of $48,069,141 for 2020. The decrease of $75,678,054 in the Adjusted EBITDA in 2021 is attributable to a decrease in EBITDA of $81,196,191, and an increase of $5,518,137 in share-based payments.
The Modified EBITDA in 2021 was a $6,182,695 loss compared to a Modified EBITDA gain of $3,442,443 for 2020, representing a decrease of 280%. The decrease in the Modified EBITDA loss in 2021 is attributable to the decrease as mentioned above in the Adjusted EBITDA loss of $75,678,054 and an increase in change of fair value of investments of $66,052,916.

CINCINNATI — Soaring rental rates continue to affect Tri-State residents.
“I moved to Cincinnati in 2020. I move here simply because I fell in love with the city and also I am now attending Xavier University,” said Garrett Cooper, who lives in Westwood. “I wanted to live somewhere that was affordable because I’m a full-time student.”
At the time, it was affordable. But that’s not necessarily the case anymore.
“Rent has gone up about a total of $180 to $200," Cooper said. "On the notice that we just received, they cited the increased demand in housing and the unavailability of the housing."
To make ends meet, Cooper has had to pick up extra shifts as a nurse's aid.
“To make sure I can afford the increase in rent, I find myself working odd hours," he said. "It really puts on a strain mentally and it’s really stressful."
Cooper isn’t alone in feeling the pinch. According to a report compiled by commercial real estate group CBRE, the average rent for a market-rate apartment in Cincinnati has increased 17% from 2020 to 2021. And the group predicts rent to increase between 6 and 7% in 2022.
Inflation, the pandemic and a shortage in housing supply all play a part.
“We are receiving still about 500 calls a day, clients asking and saying we still need assistance,” said Dr. Ebony Griggs-Griffin, VP of Community Services for the Community Action Agency.
The agency partnered with both the City of Cincinnati and Hamilton County to administer rental assistance.
Specifically, the City of Cincinnati received more than $9 million from the federal government in Emergency Rental Assistance. The CAA has helped distribute more than $7 million of that funding to people in need since June of 2021. According to an FYI Memo from the city manager, the remaining money will likely be exhausted by the September 2022 deadline.
The CAA has 900 pending applications for assistance, which can be used for rental and utility payments.
“It is imperative for people to understand the impact of the pandemic has not subsided," Griggs-Griffin said. "It is still here, and we’re seeing it not only with the phone calls every day, but the amount of people still putting in applications."
Griggs-Griffin estimated prior to the pandemic, the CAA would receive 50 to 60 calls a day with questions about rental assistance.
“Landlords are jacking up prices. Clients are struggling with affordable housing,” she said. “We weren’t seeing it prior to the pandemic, we’re seeing it now. I think it’s a possibility some landlords are taking advantage of the fact the moratorium is lifted. We can evict some people and it’s an opportunity to hike up prices. Or, it’s also landlords that may be struggling. Inflation is serious right now.”
Sharon St. Clair has lived in her North College Hill apartment for 18 years. The property was recently purchased and the new ownership increased her monthly rent by $125.
“I hope to God my car doesn’t need any kind of maintenance, I hope I don’t get sick,” St. Clair said. “It’s heart-sickening, it’s nerve-wracking. It affects you physically to the point I almost thought I was going to go to the hospital. Where are you going to go? What are you going to do? Packing up and leaving because you can’t afford the rent.”
Anyone in need of rental, utility or mortgage assistance is encouraged to visit https://www.cincy-caa.org/.

Report: Cincinnati's housing inventory not keeping up demand
Tri-State's low-income families struggle to find housing, even with Section 8 vouchers | https://www.wcpo.com/news/local-news/hamilton-county/cincinnati/landlords-are-jacking-up-prices-rent-on-the-rise-in-cincinnati | 2022-04-01T01:19:40Z |
It’s called schadenfreude, or the pleasure of seeing others fail, especially from a great height.
And that’s really been Queenstown these past two years.
The beauty queen suddenly slipping over in the Covid crisis with quite a few people saying, ‘yeah, tough shit, Queenstown, ha ha, suck on that!’
Schadenfreude.
Queenstown simply isn’t the cliche that’s perpetrated throughout the country.
It’s not Parnell and champagne and oysters.
Virtually every resident is here to live, and serve, and hopefully thrive.
And from their very soul they want to share this experience with anyone willing to visit and embrace the region.
Most of the population have kids, and mortgages and dreams (more recently nightmares).
So, we’re not popping off in helicopters for lobster lunches mountaintop — that’s for the very ‘‘lucky’’ few.
But they don’t dominate the population statistics, and they certainly don’t define us.
What defines us is what we have achieved in the past two years.
Ninety percent of the population have fought like heck to make sure this place survives, so guests will have an experience to remember when they finally return.
And they will.
To everyone who has persevered, thank you.
But we remain a misunderstood community.
We’ve been slammed like no other town.
We’ve taken it all.
Why?
Queenstown is built on fortitude and risk and big brass balls.
It hasn’t seen a crisis like this since the gold dried up after the rush in 1860s.
It’s a battle-hardened place.
Even with no business and no hope, the next swathe of visitors will be surprised to see how many businesses have survived.
Sure, the streets have been empty.
But the infrastructure remains.
Most businesses are open — beaten up, on the ropes, but still standing.
It’s taken deep breaths and deeper pockets.
Why have they done this?
Because they believe — not just for themselves — but for you, the visitors, and thank goodness for that.
One local, a man best known as the world’s most popular hot drink, once said to me when I questioned him about a small downturn in the economy: “Mate, you watch, Queenstown always bounces back.’’
I asked why and he just pointed to the hills.
He was saying, the lakes, the rivers, the vistas, the feeling of freedom.
It’ll never go away.
‘‘It’s not a cyclical thing,’’ he said, ‘‘it’s here forever.”
He had a point.
When Queenstown was first sighted by greedy Europeans, the exhausted explorers hot-footed it to Dunedin to announce they’d found a place in the world that would be marvelled upon globally.
They were so breathless no one believed them until the curious visited and tried to peg up land like surveyors on P.
I asked a former National Security advisor to US presidents, Dick Allen, why he lived here, of all places.
He said you can blow up cities (and we’ve all tragically seen that lately) “but I’ll tell you this, son, there’s not a missile or a bomb in the world that can blow that up,’’ and he pointed to the Remarkables with admiration.
The prevailing attitude from elsewhere in Aotearoa is this town is full of pretentious dicks.
It isn’t.
Sure we have the billionaires … and your average percentage of toxic eggheads, but
the community that collectively provides the “Queenstown experience” lives hand-to-mouth based on hope and passion.
They project this to anyone who visits.
As an FYI to outsiders, the rich come in two flavours: the fly-by-nighters — who have drapes drawn over empty nests that they visit once annually to toast themselves — and the local richies.
The latter, as locals, are as down to earth as the next chippy.
They have to be.
More importantly, they want to be.
Go out to dinner: on your left, a billionaire — on your right, a plumber.
Both equally as interesting.
It’s kind of a classless community.
But painting the rich-listers as “us” is like saying every Aucklander sits around the America’s Cup trophy in Westhaven drinking beaujolais.
Look inside Queenstown and you’ll find a weird, kooky community.
It’s a town of flamboyant contradictions, but we’re all connected by two things: a
desire to live here and share the experience.
As we prepare to reopen, we have even more nuggets to offer, adding to the existing world-class buffet of attractions, some of them finished off in the past two years.
We’ve survived.
After two years, our doors are about to open.
But our hearts always have been.

Biti Loses Court Appllication
1 April 2022
A HARARE magistrate yesterday dismissed an application by opposition politician and lawyer Tendai Biti seeking postponement of his trial on charges of assaulting a Russian national Tatiana Aleshina within the court premises in 2020.
Biti, through his lawyer Alec Muchadehama, wanted the matter postponed pending a ruling on his appeal at the Supreme Court.
Biti had also asked magistrate Letwin Rwodzi and prosecutor Michael Reza to recuse themselves, accusing them of bias.
But magistrate Vongai Muchuchuti-Guwuriro dismissed the application before accusing Biti of employing delaying tactics to evade justice.
The matter was postponed to April 11 for commencement of trial. -Newsday | https://www.zimeye.net/2022/04/01/biti-loses-court-appllication/ | 2022-04-01T01:19:41Z |
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.”

Six teenage students killed in a collision with a semi were riding in a small car with only four seats, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol said Wednesday.Only the 16-year-old car's driver and front-seat passenger were wearing seat belts when the 2015 Chevrolet Spark collided with the truck Tuesday afternoon in Tishomingo, a rural city of about 3,000 located about 100 miles (160 kilometers) southeast of Oklahoma City, the highway patrol said.The highway patrol says those killed include the 16-year-old driver, three 15-year-olds, and two 17-year-old passengers. The victims' names weren't released because they are juveniles. Tishomingo Public School Superintendent Bobby Waitman said in a Facebook post that the district had “a great loss” involving students from the district’s high school.“Our hearts are broken, and we are grieving with our students and staff,” said Waitman.

'Government must be upfront about impact of Ukrainian refugees on services' - Offaly TD
Independent TD for Laois-Offaly Carol Nolan has called on Taoiseach Micheál Martin to clarify if Government has conducted any assessment around the potential impact on adult and child disability respite services here following a commitment to provide services and disability-specific accommodation to citizens fleeing war-torn Ukraine.
Deputy Nolan raised the issue with the Taoiseach during Leaders Questions in the Dáil earlier this week.
“As difficult as it is, we must have the difficult but important debate around how Government intends to match its rhetoric on this issue with the plain reality that our existing respite services for disabled adult and children are already under severe and chronic pressure,” Deputy Nolan said.
Deputy Nolan went on to say that she commended Minister of State Anne Rabbitte for her commitment to improving the challenges around the respite issue and that she also welcomed the statement from Minister Roderick O’Gorman last week that “Ireland will not leave people with disabilities behind as we respond to the crisis.”
The Independent TD further noted, however, that while leaving no disabled person behind “is exactly the type of ambition we need, there are very many families out there who will have heard or read that statement and questioned, not the will or whether it was the right thing to do, but the capacity of the state to deliver on that promise.
“They will have looked at their own children and young adults who are falling between the cracks in terms of child and adult disability services and they will have wondered if the Government's commitments will lead to an even greater level of strain and further delays in accessing limited services.
“Those are perfectly understandable fears and concerns, and they need to be addressed candidly and honestly.”
“How can we talk of leaving no disabled person behind when it is clear that we already have a system that is manifestly unable to provide even the most minimal levels of respite care for significant numbers of adults and children languishing on respite and disability lists?” Deputy Nolan said.
Deputy Nolan concluded by asking the Taoiseach if he agreed with her “that our rhetoric should be shaped by our capacity to deliver on the promises that we are making to disabled persons, irrespective of where they are coming from.”
The Taoiseach in his reply said that Ireland must rise to the challenges presented by the Ukrainian conflict.

Superintendent Dwyer to represent state insurance regulators nationally
WASHINGTON, March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Executive Committee of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) has appointed Beth Dwyer, Superintendent of Banking and Insurance for Rhode Island's Department of Business Regulation, to serve as NAIC members' representative on the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC). She will succeed recently retired Maine Bureau of Insurance Superintendent Eric Cioppa and will provide the Council with critical expertise and the perspective of state insurance regulators.
"Ensuring financial stability nationwide requires trust, clear communication, and close collaboration between the states and the federal government. Superintendent Dwyer has a proven track record, thorough knowledge of the regulatory landscape, and a tireless commitment to protecting consumers and markets, making her a great choice to help FSOC fulfill its mission," said NAIC President and Director of the Idaho Department of Insurance Dean L. Cameron.
Since taking office in January 2016, Superintendent Dwyer has served in several leadership capacities with the NAIC and is currently the vice chair of the Financial Condition (E) Committee, co-vice chair of the Climate and Resiliency (EX) Task Force, and secretary/treasurer of the National Insurance Producer Registry (NIPR) Board of Directors.
FSOC was created by the 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The Council comprises ten voting members and five non-voting members and monitors the safety and stability of the nation's financial system, identifies risks to the system, and coordinates responses.

EPA upholds Trump-era decision not to regulate contaminant
By SUMAN NAISHADHAM
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — Upholding a Trump-era environmental policy, the Environmental Protection Agency says it will not regulate a drinking water contaminant that has been linked to brain damage in infants. The agency says the Trump administration’s decision in 2020 not to regulate perchlorate in drinking water was made with the “best available peer reviewed science.” The Trump administration had concluded that the chemical compound was not found widely enough in drinking water or at levels of public health concern to warrant federal regulation. That decision was one of many Trump-era rollbacks or eliminations of existing or pending public health and environmental protection. Environmental groups sharply criticized the Biden administration Thursday for not reversing that decision. | https://kesq.com/news/ap-california/2022/03/31/epa-upholds-trump-era-decision-not-to-regulate-contaminant-2/ | 2022-04-01T01:19:44Z |
Farmworkers to march in Palm Beach on Saturday
With Wendy's board chairman and island resident Nelson Peltz as their target audience, farmworkers with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers and their supporters plan to protest and march in Palm Beach on Saturday during the “March to End Modern Slavery in the Fields.”
They are seeking the Wendy’s restaurant chain's help to "end modern slavery in the fields by joining the Fair Food Program," the organization said in a release. The program "brings together farmworkers, growers, and retail food companies to promote and protect human rights in agriculture through the prevention of modern-day slavery, sexual assault, verbal and physical abuse, systemic wage theft and retaliation," according to its website.

More:Palm Beach adds more restrictions on construction and landscaping activity during holidays
McDonald’s, Burger King, Subway, Yum! Brands and Chipotle, as well as major grocers and food service companies such as Whole Foods, Wal-Mart, Aramark and Compass, have joined the Fair Food Program, the coalition said.
But in a statement to the Daily News on Thursday, a Wendy’s spokesperson said the Dublin, Ohio-based company has only used tomatoes grown indoors in greenhouses for the past three years.
Wendy's "does not participate in the Fair Food Program because there is no nexus between the program and our supply chain. Since 2019, Wendy’s has sourced our North American tomato supply exclusively from indoor, hydroponic greenhouse farms, while the Fair Food Program predominantly operates in outdoor, conventional tomato growing environments," the statement said.
"Further, Wendy’s has an established Supplier Code of Conduct that applies to significant suppliers of The Wendy’s Company and our North America restaurant system, and we also require third-party reviews related to the human rights and labor practices for suppliers of certain hand-harvested, whole, fresh produce such as tomatoes.
"The idea that joining the Fair Food Program, and purchasing field-grown, commodity tomatoes, is the only way that Wendy’s can demonstrate responsibility in our supply chain is not true."
Participating in the march, the organization said, will be Kerry Kennedy, an attorney who is the daughter of Robert F. Kennedy and Ethel Skakel Kennedy, andArchbishop of Miami Thomas Wenski. Kennedy's mother attended a similar march organized in Palm Beach by the group in 2016, the year the coalition's campaign targeting Wendy's began.
That march generated controversy because of geographic limits the town had set on the march. In the end, about 500 people protested through town streets on March 12, 2016, and the town later paid more than $160,000 in attorneys' fees and costs after a federal lawsuit filed by the march organizers.
The Coalition of Immokalee Workers sued the town in U.S. District Court to determine the legal limits of the demonstration. The coalition initially said the town should pay nearly $300,000 in attorneys' fees and costs for the hours its four attorneys and a paralegal spent on the suit, which challenged town ordinances the group said interfered with protesters' First Amendment rights to free speech and public assembly.
Saturday's demonstration is scheduled to begin with people gathering at 11:30 a.m. in Bradley Park, with the march starting at 12:30 p.m., organizers said. The group will make its way south before crossing the Royal Park Bridge into West Palm Beach and walking along Olive Avenue and Flagler Drive, the planned route shows. The group is then expected to re-enter Palm Beach via the Flagler Memorial Bridge and finish the event at Bradley Park.
A statement issued Thursday by the Palm Beach Police Department said residents may encounter traffic delays during the demonstration and encouraged them to plan their travel needs accordingly.
Police said the following streets would be affected: the 200 block of Sunset Avenue; South County Road from Sunset Avenue to Worth Avenue; the 200 block of Royal Palm Way; Worth Avenue; and South Lake Drive.
The department "will be monitoring the demonstration and will have security and traffic measures in place. There are no known community safety concerns, and we are only anticipating traffic disruption at this time," it said in the release.
Nely Rodriguez, senior staff member of the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, told the Daily News Thursday that if Wendy's were to join the Fair Food Program, that would help to make "significant strides to end abuses in the field such as modern-day slavery and sexual assault."
Rodriguez said with Saturday's march the organization is hoping "to bring Wendy's to dialogue with us and put pressure on Wendy's top decision-maker."
She cited the Fair Food Program as the most effective tool to eliminate and prevent abuses in American agriculture.
The coalition also said it is calling for accountability from other Wendy’s board members including Peltz’s son, Matthew Peltz, and Trian Fund Management co-founder Peter May, who is a seasonal Palm Beacher.

Learn about our editorial process Share Tweet Email Print Verywell / Brianna Gilmartin As kids continue to get vaccinated, the share of the U.S. population immunized against COVID-19 could increase from 65% to over 68% by June, projections by Verywell show. That number could be higher if the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorizes the Pfizer vaccine for children under 5 years old or the Moderna vaccine for children under 6 years old. Parents Have Mixed Feelings About Pfizer’s Delay in Vaccines for Kids Under 5 In the meantime, kids aged 5 to 11, who have been eligible for the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine since October 2021, play an important role in pushing the U.S. closer to 70% vaccination, the low end of the range Anthony Fauci, MD, said is needed to reach herd immunity. Full vaccination among kids in that age group is projected to increase from today’s figure of 27.5% to 32% by June, according to Verywell’s analysis. Over 60% of adolescents between the ages of 12 and 17 are on track to be fully vaccinated by June. They’ve been eligible for Pfizer’s vaccine since May of 2021. The only vaccine authorized for use in people under the age of 18 is Pfizer. Vaccine Uptake in Kids Remains Slow Uncertainty surrounding the proper vaccine dosage and delays in authorizing its use in children under 5 created some obstacles to boosting vaccination rates among the younger crowd. In February, Pfizer delayed its request for FDA authorization in order to collect more data on whether a third dose would be necessary for the 6-month to 4-year-old age group. Recent studies have shown that the vaccine may be less effective in kids 5 to 11 than in those aged 12 to 17, raising the question of whether the dosage should be higher for young kids. Right now, kids under 12 receive a 0.2 milliliter dose of the Pfizer vaccine. Those 12 and over receive 0.3 milliliter doses. Meanwhile, Moderna plans to ask the FDA to authorize its vaccine in children under 6 years old after promising results from a clinical trial. The intended dosage for kids under 6 is a quarter of the size of Moderna's adult dosage. At this time, nobody under age 18 is eligible for Moderna’s vaccine. Moderna to Request COVID Vaccine Authorization for Kids Under 6 Using the rate of vaccination for the past four weeks to predict trends for the coming months, our analysis projects seven states will reach 70% full vaccination among both 5- to 11- and 12- to 17- year-olds by June 1. No states have reached that threshold among all children yet, though nine states have reached 70% vaccination among 12 to 17 year olds, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Verywell made similar projections in November, predicting that 65% of the population would be vaccinated by the start of 2022. Just over 62% ultimately were vaccinated by January 1, CDC data shows. A lower-than-anticipated vaccination rate among children 12 to 17—a 3% increase between November and January, lower than Verywell’s predicted 5% increase—contributed to the lower overall vaccination increase. What Will It Take to Increase Vaccination Rates by Summer? The longer vaccines are available, the less hesitant parents are to vaccinate their children, one study from the Children’s Hospital of Chicago found. The researchers conducted surveys of parents in the Chicago area on vaccine sentiment, one in May to July 2020, another in November 2020 to February 2021, and a third in May to July 2021. A Verywell Report: How Parents Feel About COVID Vaccines for Kids “As vaccines become available, the percent [of parents] who's interested in getting that vaccine for their child has actually gone up,” Jennifer Kusma, MD, a pediatrician and coauthor of the study. “That makes us feel hopeful that as these vaccines roll out more and more people will be interested in getting it, or hopefully, some of that hesitancy or concern we can help alleviate as we just have more information.” At this phase of vaccine development and distribution, uncertainty is natural, Stanley Plotkin, MD, who served as a consultant to COVID vaccine manufacturers and played a key role in the creation of the rubella vaccine, told Verywell. “Decisions are made after an accumulation of data,” he said. In a 2021 article in the journal Pediatrics, Plotkin said that if pediatric trials proved COVID-19 vaccines to be safe in children, vaccination should be mandatory. “The only way vaccination works on a large scale is as mandatory vaccination,” he said. “That’s a lesson that we’ve learned over the years with routine pediatric vaccination.” What This Means For You A larger share of vaccinated kids this summer means safer camps, safer vacations, and ultimately, a safer school year in the fall. But moving the needle on kids’ vaccination rates depends on FDA authorizations for younger age groups.

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. | https://www.michigansthumb.com/news/article/Washington-governor-signs-64-1-billion-17049827.php | 2022-04-01T01:19:45Z |
Quebec advocate for medically assisted death has died
Nicole Gladu fought for years for the right to have a medically assisted death but, in the end, chose to let nature take its course, a close friend says.
Gladu, 77, died on Sunday after spending much of her life living with the effects of a childhood brush with polio.
"She was someone who deeply loved life," said friend Micheline Raymond. "She must have sensed the end was coming. It was as though she decided to savour every last minute of life, even though she wasn't well. She was suffering."
That Gladu lived as long as she did was considered somewhat of a medical miracle.
"I survived polio with half a functioning lung," Gladu said in a 2018 interview with Radio-Canada. "Doctors back then said I wasn't supposed to be still alive, medically speaking."
In 1992, she was diagnosed with post-polio syndrome. The gradual muscle loss made her reliant on a wheelchair.
But since her death was not considered "reasonably foreseeable," Gladu did not qualify for medical aid in dying.
She and another advocate, Jean Truchon, went to court to fight for the rights of people with degenerative diseases to have access to medically assisted death.
"Nicole was always someone who pushed hard, and despite all the energy it took, she fought to the end and won," said Micheline Raymond, a friend. | https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/quebec-advocate-medically-assisted-death-010750917.html?src=rss | 2022-04-01T01:19:45Z |
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. | https://www.wcpo.com/news/national/house-passes-35-a-month-insulin-cap-as-dems-seek-wider-bill | 2022-04-01T01:19:46Z |
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.”

LAS VEGAS (AP) — With a flip of a switch, it was lights out on the world famous Las Vegas Strip.
Then bright red strobes flickered up and down iconic Las Vegas Blvd. to announce Formula One’s arrival.
The most glamorous motorsports series in the world will add a third race in the United States to the 2023 calendar — a Saturday night event down the Strip — as F1 continues to expand its North American footprint.
F1 will turn 50 laps around a temporary 3.8-mile street course next November that will feature the Bellagio, Caesars Palace and the MSG Sphere among the many landmarks on the circuit. F1 will promote the event alongside Liberty Media Corp., the American parent company of F1.
It will be the first F1 race promoted by Liberty, which took over as F1’s rights holder in 2017 and set a determined focus on growing the series within the United States. ESPN said viewership for Sunday’s race in Saudi Arabia broke the week-old record for the network and was ESPN’s largest F1 audience since 1995.
The fourth season of the Netflix docuseries “Drive To Survive” dropped earlier this month to enormous ratings; the behind-the-rope look at F1 ranked No. 1 in 33 countries the weekend it was released. It’s made the American market irresistible, and F1 and Liberty are intently chasing every set of eyeballs it can attract.
“It’s our home market, so that makes it more interesting, and obviously it’s the largest economy in the world, the largest disposable income,” Greg Maffei, President and CEO of Liberty Media, told The Associated Press. “It’s an opportunity that had not been pursued historically and it’s where we think a lot of our growth can come.”
But unlike the bulk of the F1 calendar, a host country isn’t writing a check to the series for the rights to host a grand prix. Liberty and F1 are the promoters — there are official partners in the endeavor — and have agreed to an initial three-year deal with Las Vegas.
The Las Vegas race will be the third stop in the United States next season for F1, which has raced at Circuit of the America’s in Austin, Texas, since 2012 and in May will make its debut in Miami. Barring any shakeups, existing races in Mexico City and Montreal will bring F1 to North America five times next season.
COTA, which about five years ago was struggling to draw 100,000 fans over a three-day F1 weekend, was well over 300,000 fans last season. This year’s inaugural race in Miami sold out in one day, and COTA is also sold out already.
And that’s why F1 is so certain the market can withstand a third U.S. race. No other country hosts more than two races a season.
“We know how to run this business and we know how to add the right element to make the right valuation,” Stefano Domenicali, the CEO of F1, told AP. “We do believe, without being arrogant, that Formula One will be something that the American fans will love to be involved even more. We do believe this is a very important market in developing the love of our sport.”
Speculation surrounding a third race in Las Vegas that utilized the world famous Strip has swirled for more than a year and was at last confirmed Wednesday night in a lavish announcement made at the rooftop pool of The Cosmopolitan Hotel. Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak said the city expected 170,000 visitors on race weekend to account for 400,000 nights of hotel rooms and and an estimated economic impact of half a billion dollars.
“What happens in Las Vegas only happens in Las Vegas,” said Sisolak, adding that Las Vegas is “the entertainment and sports capital of the world. Nobody puts on a party like Las Vegas and I predict that this will be the iconic race, the flagship race, of F1 within a couple of years.”
F1 and Liberty are also partnering with Live Nation Entertainment and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority on the race. The “founding partners” announced Wednesday night were Caesars Entertainment, MGM Resorts International and Wynn Las Vegas.
MSG Sphere, Resorts World Las Vegas and The Venetian Resort were announced as presenting sponsors.
No date was given for the November race, but the Saturday night after Thanksgiving has been discussed. The track layout revealed Wednesday night included three main straights, 14 corners that includes a high-speed cornering sequence, and a single chicane section.
COTA drew more than 300,000 spectators to its three-day weekend last October and track president Bobby Epstein said the addition of Las Vegas to the F1 calendar shouldn’t dilute his event.
“There’s plenty to sustain this sport. What I like about what F1 is doing and what I think the fans will realize, is that each event is very different from the other and will be very unique,” Epstein told The Associated Press.
“The other US races are going to be more about the city and the destination, and ours is going to be more about the event itself. I’m excited to go to Vegas, not just for F1, but because the city has so much more entertainment, outside and away from whatever the track will be. If I’m already a regular Vegas visitor, it will be more a question of am I choosing to go to F1 this year and not March Madness or a heavyweight fight?”

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Francisco Lindor wasn’t the franchise-altering shortstop the Mets were hoping for last season.
His performance in this year’s shortened spring training has New York confident better days are coming.
The switch-hitting Lindor has been among the best hitters in the Grapefruit League through two weeks of games, hitting .476 with four homers and 10 RBIs through his first 21 at-bats. It’s the kind of run that was common when the former Cleveland star made four All-Star teams in a row from 2016-19.
The 28-year-old struggled for big chunks of his first season with the Mets after signing a 10-year, $341 million contract, batting just .230 with 20 homers.
“Life was a little faster for me last year,” Lindor said earlier in spring training. “I tried to give it my best, gave it my best and I just wasn’t as productive as I wanted to be.”
The Mets have sky-high expectations once again in 2022, believing Lindor can be a cornerstone for a lineup that includes slugger Pete Alonso, Jeff McNeil and newly acquired players like Starling Marte and Mark Canha.
Here are a few other players off to a good start as MLB’s regular season rapidly approaches on April 7:
David Peralta, OF, Diamondbacks: The veteran has been a steady influence in Arizona’s lineup since 2014 but his power has dipped considerably over the past two seasons with 13 homers in a stretch spanning about 700 at-bats. He has four homers in his first 19 spring at-bats in Cactus League play.
Kyle Higashioka, C, Yankees: The sixth-year catcher has slowly worked his way into a bigger role with the Yankees. His ability to hit will probably determine if he ultimately becomes a part-time or full-time option. He showed some pop last year with 10 homers, but hit just .181 in 193 at-bats. He’s off to a good start in the Grapefruit League with a .412 average and four homers.
Mickey Moniak, OF, Phillies: It’s been a tough road to the big leagues for Moniak, who was the No. 1 overall pick in 2016 but has spent most of the past seven years in the minors. The 23-year-old has a legit chance to earn a spot on Philadelphia’s opening day roster, especially after three homers in his first 20 spring at-bats.
Max Scherzer, RHP, Mets: He’s now 37 years old but the hard-throwing right hander doesn’t show many signs of slowing. New York added the three-time Cy Young winner during the offseason on a three-year, $130 million deal. He’s already in midseason form in Grapefruit League play, striking out 12 batters in his first 11 innings while giving up just three earned runs.
Sandy Alcantara, RHP, Marlins: The 26-year-old has quietly been among the better pitchers in the National League for three years. He was one of just four MLB pitchers to throw at least 200 innings last season, finishing with 205 2/3 over 33 starts. He looks ready for another big year after giving up just one hit over his first seven innings in the Grapefruit League.
MacKenzie Gore, LHP, Padres: He just turned 23 and has been among the sport’s highest-rated prospects for several years. Now he appears on the verge of breaking into the big leagues, whether it is straight out of spring camp or later this season. He struck out 11 batters through his first nine innings in the Cactus League this spring and has given up just two runs.

A Centenary builder was sentenced to 16 years behind bars by Bindura Regional magistrate Esteri Chivasa after he sodomized an 11 year old boy twice.
Norman Nyanguse (36) was jailed on two counts of aggravated indecent assault.
The magistrate suspended two years of the sentence on condition of good behaviour hence the remaining 14 years are effective.
Prosecutor Delight Dube told the court that on November 5 last year Nyanguse was employed as a builder at the complainant’s house and was told to sleep with complainant in the same room.
On November 9 when he was asleep with the boy he dragged him close and tried to insert his manhood into his anus but he refused and the convict forced his manhood on his thighs.
On November 11 he managed to sexually abuse the boy and threatened him with death if he divulges the act to anyone.
The boy braved the threats and told his grandmother who escorted him to the police to file a report.
The police acted swiftly and managed to arrest the convict before dragging him to court.- Bulawayo 24 | https://www.zimeye.net/2022/04/01/builder-jailed-for-sodomizing-employers-son/ | 2022-04-01T01:19:47Z |

- City of Toronto Social Bond wins Social Bond of the Year, Local Authority/Municipality category – BMO Joint-Lead Manager
- World Bank Sustainability Bond wins Sustainability Bond of the Year, Supranational category – BMO Joint-Lead Manager
- City of Vancouver Sustainability Bond wins Sustainability Bond of the Year, Local Authority/Municipality category – BMO Joint Bookrunner
TORONTO, March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - The City of Toronto Social Bond, the World Bank Sustainability Bond, and the City of Vancouver Sustainability Bond were recognized today by Environmental Finance's 2022 Bond Awards in the categories of Social Bond of the Year – Local Authority/Municipality, Sustainability Bond of the Year – Supranational, and Sustainability Bond of the Year – Local Authority/Municipality. BMO Financial Group (BMO) acted as Joint-Lead Manager on the City of Toronto and World Bank bond issuances, and Joint Bookrunner on the City of Vancouver Sustainability Bond issuance.
The City of Toronto's Social Bond is the city's second Social Bond, following on their inaugural issue in June 2020 – the first-ever Social Bond from a Canadian Government issuer – which BMO also led. The Social Bond, issued under Toronto's Social Debenture Framework, is part of a program to promote positive socioeconomic outcomes, from affordable housing and access to essential infrastructure and services, to socioeconomic advancement and empowerment.
The World Bank Sustainability Bond is an $8 billion 2-year and 7-year Dual-Tranche Fixed-Rate Global Sustainability Bond launched in April 2021. The World Bank has been issuing sustainable development bonds in the international capital markets for over 70 years to fund programs and activities that achieve a positive impact. BMO is proud to be a joint lead-manager on this issuance. World Bank bonds are aligned with the Sustainability Bond Guidelines published by the International Capital Market Association and support the financing of a combination of green and social projects, programs, and activities.
The inaugural City of Vancouver Sustainability Bond was the first Sustainability Bond from a Canadian governmental issuer. Proceeds of the bond are supporting eligible projects such as green buildings, renewal and upgrade of the main sewer and a fire hall, street and bridge infrastructure, an accessibility program to provide access to essential services, a climate emergency response program and a seawall maintenance program.
"As Joint-Lead Manager we're pleased with the recognition the City of Toronto Social Bond, the World Bank Sustainability Bond, and the City of Vancouver Sustainability Bond have received from Environmental Finance," said Jonathan Hackett, Head, BMO Sustainable Finance. "These transactions are leading examples in sustainable financing that we believe will act as a catalyst to others as they explore social and sustainability labeled financing and BMO is excited to be a leader working with our clients in this space -- one that so closely aligns with our Purpose to Boldly Grow the Good, in business and life."
BMO is a recognized sustainability leader
Carbon neutral in its own operations since 2010, BMO announced its Climate Ambition in March 2021 with a commitment to deploy $300 billion in sustainable lending and underwriting to companies pursuing sustainable outcomes by 2025.
