Madness is minus lovable underdogs
March Madness has taken a power turn as it turns to the Final Four. No more plucky underdogs, much as we enjoyed the run by Saint Peter’s. No more double-digit seeds looking for upsets. This year’s Final Four is Duke and Carolina, Kansas and Villanova, four powerhouses looking...

KOTA SAMARAHAN (April 1): Six locations under the jurisdiction of Kota Samarahan Municipal Council (MPKS) have been approved for traders to operate during the Ramadan month, said MPKS chairman Datuk Peter Minos.
According to the chairman, the two locations are at Desa Ilmu namely at DUBS Uptown and Kamek Miak Sarawak (KMS) bazaar, while the other four are at Doraemart bazaar in Taman Samarindah Baru, Stakan bazaar, RH Park Mile 9 and TTK Mart bazaar in Asajaya.
“MPKS only entertains requests from recognised bodies or responsible committees. This is to ensure public safety, hygiene, proper waste management and upkeep of each and every bazaar are met,” he said, adding that MPKS is expecting more requests for Ramadan bazaar from Asajaya and Sadong Jaya soon.
“MPKS is pleased that many small traders are participating in the Ramadan bazaars in Samarahan, adding to the merriment of Ramadan and this will also enable them to earn a bit more for Hari Raya Aidilfitri,” he said in a press statement yesterday.
Meanwhile, on the Healthy City programme to be held on April 11 to 12 this year and tentatively to be officiated by Deputy Premier Datuk Sri Dr Sim Kui Hian, Minos said MPKS will soon organise a talk and workshop on how to make Kota Samarahan a safe, clean and greener place to live in.
“The workshop aims to inculcate good culture and self-discipline among the residents living in the district, especially on illegal dumping and littering. Indiscriminate waste disposal is unsightly and gives Kota Samarahan a bad image which will gradually pose health hazards. If Singaporeans and Japanese can do it, so can we. It is all in the mind,” he emphasized.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The 'I-65 Killer' or 'Days Inn Killer', as he's known in some cases, could be responsible for as many as three murders and several other assaults from the 1980s and 1990s.
For more than 30 years, investigators have been working to find the man responsible. Now, Indiana State Police, Elizabethtown Police and the FBI have announced that they have a big update on the case.
On February 21, 1987, Vicki Heath was sexually assaulted and shot twice in the head. Police found her body behind the dumpsters at the Super 8 Motel off of I-65 in Hardin County.
Elizabethtown Police Chief at the time, Ruben Gardner, worked the case as a detective when it happened and said even then he thought this murderer was someone traveling I-65 and this was a crime of opportunity.
"We did all the routine things that you do, compared it to every crime we could find around that had any similarities at all," Gardner told WHAS11 in 2013. But without any significant leads, the case went cold until 2008 when Detective Clinton Turner submitted DNA from well-preserved evidence.
"I say there's an 80% chance we could find him," said Turner.
Elizabethtown Police matched the DNA in Heath's case to at least four other cases in several states. In each case, the women were all motel clerks, they were all sexually assaulted and robbed and they all worked along I-65.
Police said these incidents were the trail of a traveling serial killer.
The DNA also linked the murderer to two women who were sexually assaulted and killed in Indiana in 1989.
One year later, in 1990, a woman in Columbus, Indiana was sexually assaulted and stabbed but survived. That was the first time police were able to get a description of the killer. She described the assailant as a man with green eyes and a lazy right eye.
In 1991, a woman in Minnesota who was also sexually assaulted and stabbed gave police a similar description of her attacker. The victim described the suspect as a white male, 6'- 6'2'', with green eyes, the right eye was described as a lazy eye, and he had grayish-brown hair. He was wearing a flannel shirt and blue jeans.
"That was why is was so difficult because most of our murders are local or have some type of domestic tie or something. Whereas this is a random murder and there are 16 million people that travel up and down 65 in a year's time," Elizabethtown Police Detective Clinton Turner told WHAS11 in 2013.
After 35 years, could detectives have an answer? The announcement is scheduled for Tuesday, April 5, at 11:00 a.m. ET in Indianapolis.

The worldwide seafood industry is steeling itself for price hikes, supply disruptions and potential job losses as new rounds of economic sanctions on Russia make key species such as cod and crab harder to come by.
The latest round of U.S. attempts to punish Russia for the invasion of Ukraine includes bans on imports of seafood, alcohol and diamonds. The U.S. is also stripping “most favored nation status” from Russia. Nations around the world are taking similar steps.

The city of Beverly Hills’ Community Services Department, in partnership with its Arts and Culture Commission, will offer monthly Art Walk Guided Tours led by experienced docents from April 3 through Sept. 11.
The tours will include world-class art, integral historical elements and iconic and important trees.
The Art Connoisseurs Sculpture Tour on April 3 and May 1 will be the ultimate and immersive deep dive into the city’s Sculpture Park in historic Beverly Gardens Park. The tour will feature world-renowned artists such as Ringo Starr, Henri Alfred Marie Jacquemart, Tony Smith, Magdalena Abakanowicz and Ai Weiwei.
The Sculpture Park and Rare Tree Tours on June 5 and Aug. 7 will view collections of important sculptures and rare, iconic trees, many on which were planted in 1907 when Beverly Gardens Park was founded.
The Sculpture Park and Murals Tour will feature the city’s world-class collection of important sculptures in Beverly Gardens Park. The tour will continue with stops to see historic Works Progress Administration murals by Charles Kassler in the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts and the secret Millar Sheets mosaic entitled, “El Camino Real.”
“The City of Beverly Hills has an amazing artwork collection throughout the city, but there had never been a program established to educate the public about the collection,” Beverly Hills public art docent chair Judith Tuch said. “Thanks to Arts and Culture Commission chair Deborah Frank and past chair Stephanie Vahn, the Beverly Hills public art tours were launched in February 2022. Myself and a group of 17 volunteers provided free tours of the artworks by world-renowned artists with the goal to help visitors personally engage with the art.”
All tours begin at 11 a.m. with the starting point at the lily pond in Beverly Gardens Park, 1302 Park Way. While the events are free, participants are advised to register at beverlyhills.org/artwalk.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — 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.

In villages near Kyiv, how Ukraine has kept Russia’s army at bay
The charred stays of two Russian tanks and a number of other armoured personnel service, in addition to a number of turrets, attest to the brutality of final week’s preventing in Lukyanivka village, simply exterior Kyiv, are proof of the violence. A discipline close to the Russian soldier incorporates the charred stays of a soldier.
Valeriy Hudym, a neighborhood resident, stated that mortars had been so sturdy it was horrifying even within the cellar. This is 2 days after Ukrainian troopers retook management of Lukyanivka following a five-hour battle in opposition to the Russians.
“Tanks had been firing artillery and machine weapons. Hudym said that the whole lot was doable. Two Ukrainian troopers had been concerned within the battle to retake the village. They stated that the preventing was intense. Over a month after Russia invaded Ukraine, heavy clashes have erupted in protection of Kyiv’s capital.
These cities and villages are sometimes missed in histories, however they’re the locations the place Russian advances have been stopped, typically by cellular Ukrainian items outfitted with anti-tank weapons imported from overseas.
Moscow stated Tuesday on the Istanbul peace talks that it might dramatically scale back operations round Kyiv with a view to facilitate dialogue.
Residents of Lukyanivka (two hours drive from Kyiv) recall calling for the evacuation of Russian troops who had occupied them.
“I have a neighbor called Svitlana. She spoke out to them directly: “Guys, go residence.” Hudym stated, “You can be killed right here.”
In the areas surrounding the capital’s northern half, the reverse has occurred. Ukrainian troops reclaimed territory in small battles after dropping it within the first month. However, they didn’t win a decisive victory.
A request by the Russian protection ministry for remark concerning the navy scenario in Kyiv was not instantly answered.
However, the victories had been a psychological blow to an much more highly effective enemy. They have proven that nimble items with a great understanding of the world can defend strains or push them again.
Experts additionally said that they serve strategic functions – to maintain Russian artillery farther from town middle and to forestall the invading armies from encircling Kyiv.
As Russian floor advances stalled, heavy bombardment has been sustained in cities like Kharkiv or Mariupol. This is a part of what Pentagon and different Western navy officers name Russian frustration on the lackluster progress.
According to town authorities, Kyiv was additionally hit by missiles and shells. At least 264 civilians had been killed. Witnesses say that the devastation to town’s centre is far smaller.
Russia refers to its actions in Ukraine below the heading of a “special operation” that goals to demilitarize its neighbor. It denied that it was concentrating on civilians.
“We drove out the Russians. The Russians are being moved a few kilometers away,” Marat Saifulin of the Ukrainian “Brotherhood battalion,” who participated within the retaking the village throughout an assault that lasted between midday and nightfall.
William Burns, Director of the CIA, said in March that Russian President Vladimir Putin supposed to grab Kyiv inside two working days after the invasion started on February 24.
Russian officers and Putin have repeatedly said that Russia’s navy intervention in Ukraine went in line with plan.
Two early setbacks indicated that it would not be simple for a Russian pressure of round 190,000. Some diplomats had estimated this quantity earlier than the warfare. Russia has not but offered a quantity for the deployment of its troops in Ukraine.
Russian paratroopers attacked Hostomel Airport, a doable bridgehead northwest from Kyiv on the primary day. According to the Wall Street Journal, heavy preventing within the space slowed down the Russian advance in direction of the capital.
Satellite imagery additionally captured a large column of navy {hardware} that stretched 40 miles (64km) and got here from the identical path.
Some Western protection officers thought of it a serious risk to Kyiv through the preliminary days of warfare. However, the group had largely dispersed by March 10, with some automobiles shifting into close by cities.
In March, a senior U.S. protection official said that Russia’s march on Kyiv, which included the convoy, gave the impression to be stalled because of logistical points together with a scarcity of gas and meals, as effectively low morale amongst sure items.
Small items of Ukrainian troops attacked advancing tanks columns with anti-tank weapons, some utilizing the U.S.-made Javelin techniques. This was one other consider Russia’s navy collapse.
A convoy of Russian tanks had been repelled in Brovary to the east after they had been all destroyed throughout an ambush that was captured by pro-Ukrainian forces.
The city’s mayor, Bucha, was filmed scenes of destroyed tanks and armoured automobiles, regardless of being below intense assault.
As a method of stopping the enemy’s advance, Ukrainian forces destroyed an necessary bridge connecting northwestern cities to Kyiv in Irpin. Irpin’s mayor claimed that Ukraine had regained full management on Monday.
There have been no vital advances in opposition to Kyiv because of the Russian weaknesses and versatile protection technique.
There are indicators that standard life is returning to the streets of town, though solely half of the three.4 million individuals who lived in peacetime stay. Some outlets, eating places, and cinemas have opened, and persons are having fun with the sunshine within the parks.
The head of the Main Operational Directorate of the Russian General Staff fueled hopes that the capital’s instant risk could also be diminishing final week.
He said that the primary section in Ukraine’s operation had been accomplished largely and that Russian forces would now focus on the Donbass within the east.
This appeared to verify Western intelligence that the Russian forces had deserted their energetic try at taking Kyiv after heavy losses and cussed Ukrainian defenses.
Many roads that result in Kyiv are affected by particles and wrecked properties. Gas and electrical energy are sometimes reduce, and it’s not identified when or the place the following missile will fall.
Hanna Yevdokimova, 92, stated that the invasion was her third battle, after the Soviet-Finnish Winter War (1939-1940) and World War Two when she witnessed German troops go by way of Krasylivka.
Her residence was destroyed by missiles final week. In a neighbor’s yard, a twisted fragment from a Russian Kalibr missile lay 100m (328 ft).
“What can you do?” She stated that every one she needs is to rebuild her residence in order that she will be able to die at residence.
Residents of Lukyanivka claimed that they had been held as digital prisoners for almost a month by Russia below Russian occupation. Their cell phones had been confiscated, and motion was restricted to armed escort.
They can now go away and are available as they like in badly broken properties.
Last week, heavy shelling was heard close to Makariv west Kyiv. The space continues to be in dispute. Vadym Tokar, the mayor of the city, travelled by way of the villages in navy fatigues and distributed pensions to the outdated.
Vasyl Chaylo from Peremoha described Russian conscripts he was afraid of, missing rations and being disciplined by skilled fighters.
They are afraid. He stated that a few of them might not need to battle, and so they need to give up. However, particular forces maintain them in line.
Chaylo stated that he had additionally requested tank crews arrange exterior Chaylo’s home how lengthy they’d maintain dry rations. They had been informed it was every week. “They came to our house on the eighth day, and they said that they didn’t have anything to eat.”
After earlier denials from the Kremlin, navy authorities and Russia’s protection ministry, Russia’s protection ministry has admitted that some conscripts took half within the battle. The ministry did not instantly reply to a request to touch upon rations.
Halyna Shybka was a former nurse at a navy hospital close to Kyiv for 25-years. She ignored the pleas of her grandchildren. Instead, she remained with Mykola in Kalynivka the place they’ve been residing since 1974.
She stated that they tried to persuade us to go away in each doable manner, however we needed to remain,” and he or she started to make tea in her tiny kitchen. The sound of rumbling Ukrainian artillery fires within the background made it clear that she was not completely happy.
“This is our country, we are not leaving.”

UN human rights chief says China trip will include stop in Xinjiang
United Nations human rights chief Michelle Bachelet said her visit to China in May will include a stop in the Chinese region of Xinjiang, where human rights abuses have been reported against the Uyghur population, according to Reuters.
“I am pleased to announce that we have recently reached an agreement with the government of China for a visit,” Bachelet said in a video address to the UN’s Human Rights Council.
China has been accused of committing genocide against Uyghurs, the ethnic minority group native to Xinjiang. The UN has estimated that between tens of thousands to “upwards of 1 million” Uighurs in China have been taken to camps in Xinjiang Province.
China’s ambassador to the U.N. in Geneva Chen Xu told the Human Rights Council that “we welcome the High Commissioner’s visit to Xinjiang this May. And China will work together with the OHCHR to make good preparation for this visit.”
Bachelet, the former President of Chile, has been trying to gain access to the region for years.
The South China Morning Post previously reported that a spokeswoman in Bachelet’s office said the discussions were “ongoing” for her visit to China and “the parameters for a visit will have to be such that the high commissioner has unfettered, meaningful access, including unsupervised interviews with civil society”.
The UNHRC did not immediately respond to The Hill’s request for comment.
Bachelet made no reference to her long-awaited report on alleged abuses against Uyghurs in her most recent comments about the visit.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss and Turkish Deputy Foreign Minister Faruk Kaymakci last week voiced concern about the treatment of Uyghurs in Xinjiang, Reuters added.
The Hill has removed its comment section, as there are many other forums for readers to participate in the conversation. We invite you to join the discussion on Facebook and Twitter.

Bowles gets a second opportunity after going 24-40 in four seasons with the New York Jets from 2015 through 2018. He also was an interim head coach in Miami for three games in 2011. He becomes only the 12th minority to get a second head coaching opportunity since 1963, according to data in the NFL’s 2022 Diversity and Inclusion Report.
“When I first started in New York, you try to do things the right way and you don’t do it your way, you end up having regret. So I’m going to do it my way,” Bowles said.
Arians joined Bowles at his introductory news conference and learned the Buccaneers will induct him into the team’s Ring of Honor this season. Brady also was in attendance.
Arians, who turns 70 this year, said his decision to step down as coach was about “succession” and making sure he turned the team over to Bowles with an opportunity to succeed. When Brady unretired on March 13, Arians realized the time was right.
“Succession is way important to me,” Arians said. “This has been my dream for a long time. Guys that know me, they knew I wanted one of my guys to take over.”
Arians dismissed reports of friction with Brady, saying it “couldn’t be further from the truth.”
Bowles and Arians have a relationship that dates more than 40 years. Bowles played safety for Arians at Temple in the 1980s and was defensive coordinator on Arians’ staff in Arizona before joining him in Tampa.
“He is the most influential coaching figure and father figure that I have ever had in this league,” Bowles said, adding that it was a bittersweet feeling when he got the news from Arians.
Bowles made it clear he has a different personality than Arians.
“The only thing we have in common is our bald heads,” Bowles said. “He smokes, I don’t. He drinks, I don’t. So, we never got in each other’s way.”
Arians led the Buccaneers to their second Super Bowl title in 2020 and an NFC South title in 2021. With Brady back, Bowles takes over a team that has championship aspirations.
“Good players make good coaches so you always want to have good players,” Bowles said. “I’m not going to apologize for inheriting a talented team. I’ve had less success with a team. It’s different to the fact that I don’t think I can go into this trying to be Bruce. I would fail miserably if I tried. ... I can be me.
“I understand a lot of things I’ve learned from my coaching experience, especially from him so I’m going to take that approach. The one thing I know is I know I can coach football players regardless if you’re an All-Pro or a rookie. All of your players want to be coached and help them get better. I can help people get better and I’m going to use my approach.”

In recent days, the increasingly heated battle between Republicans hoping to advance out of the June primary and face Democratic Rep. Mike Levin in the November vote to represent the 49th Congressional District has largely focused on just three words.
Challenger Brian Maryott wanted his job title on the primary ballot to read “certified financial planner” after years of working in that field. But on March 21, fellow GOP candidate Lisa Bartlett filed a complaint about that, accusing Maryott of trying to mislead voters since he no longer works as a financial planner.
The Secretary of State’s office said in a statement that staff chatted with Maryott, and his campaign said Wednesday that after he’s learned about a trademark conflict with the use of the “certified” designation, he’s switching his job title to “businessman/nonprofit executive.”
From the outside, such distinctions might seem trivial. But the tussle between Maryott and Bartlett is just one of several fights over ballot titles that have popped up in California this election cycle. And the time and money spent over ballot job descriptions illustrates just how crucial candidates feel those few words can be.
“These three words are gold,” said Dan Schnur, politics professor at USC.
When Californians look at their June 7 primary ballot, they’ll see just three bits of information in state and federal races: the candidate’s name, his or her party affiliation, and their job title, which in state election law is known as “ballot designation.” For candidates in nonpartisan local contests, such as county supervisor and board of education races, the list shrinks to two: name and job title/ballot designation.
“This is the last message that voters will hear from a candidate before they cast their ballot,” Schnur said. And for low-information voters, who may do little to no outside research about candidates, Schnur said their decision could be based entirely on impressions they draw from those few words they see on the ballot.
Ballots are long and people are busy, noted Matt Reilly, a veteran Sacramento consultant who currently is working with several local Democratic candidates. So, while politicians like to believe that voters absorb every campaign ad and speech they make, and that voters then use that information when they make their choice, Reilly said consultants like him spend lots of time pouring over potential options for ballot designations.
The goal, he said, is to find three words (and no more than three) that are accurate and in line with state law, yet also send as many desired clues as possible to voters who are only learning about the candidate when they open up the ballot.
Under state election law, if the candidate is an incumbent or holds another elected office, they can state that title, which is generally considered a substantial advantage. Otherwise, the ballot designation must be a “description of no more than three words of your principal profession, vocation or occupation.”
The law then goes into great detail about what is and isn’t allowed, down to the punctuation. The designation, for example, must be the candidate’s “primary” work that requires substantial “time and effort.” It can’t be a hobby, occasional volunteer work, or a status such as “activist” or “patriot.”
Despite those details, candidates still have wiggle room to make statements that they hope will appeal to voters. When it comes to local congressional incumbents, for example, Linda Sánchez lists herself as “Mom/Congresswoman” while Mike Levin is “U.S. Representative 49th District.” (Ballot rules say office titles, and geographic locations, can go beyond the three-word limit.)
So while the question of “what’s your job?” seems like a simple one for most people to answer in three words or less, Reilly noted that candidates with lots of campaign money will sometimes poll voters to find out which options play best with their targeted demographic. Others rely on experienced consultants. And others simply have strong personal feelings about certain job titles, no matter what the data or experts might say.
The title of “business owner,” and particularly “small business owner,” is one of the most popular ballot designations, Schnur said. That’s particularly true of GOP candidates, though it cuts across party lines. And if they’re not a business owner, some variation of businessman/woman/person is the next best thing — even if it tells voters very little about what they actually do for a living.
Among 71 candidates vying in the primary for state and federal seats that touch Orange County, 32 of them mention “business” in their ballot designation. Twenty-five are Republicans and seven are Democrats.
Roughly a third of those 32 candidates refer to themselves as “business owners.” That includes CA-47 challenger Scott Baugh, who lists himself as “Orange County business owner,” rather than attorney, since he owns his own law firm.
The other two-thirds of those 32 candidates list themselves as “businessman,” “businesswoman” or “businessperson.” That includes Bartlett, who, along with being a county supervisor, has a real estate company and is involved in a startup that makes party cups that people can write on. And it now includes Maryott, who’s a former San Juan Capistrano council member.
When asked about the business and nonprofit referenced in his new ballot designation, Maryott’s campaign manager Megan House said he “is still an active investor” and he has started a nonprofit “that helps families in underserved communities with financial literacy and education” along with doing pro-bono consulting for other nonprofits. House didn’t respond to additional questions, including the name of Maryott’s nonprofit.
The only designation that Schnur said might rank higher than “business” titles is any sort of reference to military experience. But that one is tricky, Reilly noted, since candidates can’t use “veteran” and can’t list themselves as “ex-” or “former” anything. So, active members of the national guard, such as CA-45 Democratic challenger Jay Chen, can list their military service in their current job titles, while anyone who retired from fulltime service, such as CA-40 GOP challenger Greg Raths, can identify themselves as “retired” with their final rank.
Some professions score better depending on which political party they’re trying to woo, consultants said. “Police officer,” for example, is more effective with GOP voters, while “teacher” or “educator” increasingly plays better with Democratic voters.
In local county and city races, which are nonpartisan, Reilly said campaign teams sometimes use job descriptions to signal a candidate’s party affiliation even when they can’t say if they’re a Republican or Democrat.
The descriptions are regulated by the Secretary of State, though campaign consultants said it usually takes someone protesting a ballot title for those to kick in. And anyone can file a complaint or even a lawsuit over ballot designations.
One such battle played out in Sacramento County Superior Court on Wednesday afternoon.
Attorney General candidate Eric Early filed a petition asking a judge to stop his fellow GOP challenger, Nathan Hochman, from being listed on the primary ballot as “Attorney/General Counsel.” Not only are those not two separate jobs, Early’s complaint alleges, but he also argues that even with the slash between the titles the wording “misleads voters into quite possibly believing that he is presently the Attorney General.”
The judge agreed, Early said, giving Hochman the option in court between several alternatives. He went with “General Counsel.”
Hochman’s campaign didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment on the issue.
Whether a complaint has been filed or not, the Secretary of State can ask for more documentation to support a candidate’s requested ballot designation. Or the office can reject the request outright.
That’s what happened with Chris Mathys, a GOP challenger in Central California’s CA-22.
Mathys asked to be listed on the ballot as a “Trump Conservative.” The state said that’s a “status,” not a profession. Mathys filed a lawsuit but, KCET reported, the court ruled against him. So he’ll now be listed as a “Businessman/Rancher.”
In the wide open 38th State Senate District race, which overlaps with the House district that Maryott and Bartlett are hoping to represent, Encinitas Mayor Catherine Blakespear filed a complaint earlier this month over fellow Democratic challenger Joe Kerr using “retired fire captain” as his ballot designation, TheCoastNews.com reports. While Blakespear argued Kerr has had other jobs since he retired from a long career in firefighting a decade ago, Kerr’s campaign said the state allowed him to keep that designation.
In the Orange County Board of Education race, incumbent Tim Shaw requested a ballot title of “Appointed Member” to the board. Someone filed a complaint amid controversy over how Shaw was re-appointed to his post after briefly quitting in 2021. But Shaw said the county Registrar informed him he was allowed to keep that designation.
With so much room for strategy and gamesmanship, the ballot rules in many other states let candidates list only their name and, for partisan races, party affiliation.
Lou Penrose, a veteran GOP consultant based in San Juan Capistrano, said that while ballot titles were “originally intended to assist the voter and provide some clarity into the candidate’s general background, the ballot designation challenge has far too often been used as merely a game of ‘gotcha’ by candidates and their campaigns, trying to score a negative headline on their opponents by arguing over semantics.”
That process, he added, “doesn’t lead to deeper voter engagement.”
But despite its flaws, Reilly said he thinks California law in this area is quite good as it stands.
“It polices, in a way, people from doing too much or misleading people. I think that’s the key responsibility of elections officials: keep things honest. And I think the law does that pretty well.”

MILWAUKEE — Former Miami Marlins and Detroit Tigers pitcher Jose Urena has signed a one-year, $1.25 million contract with the Milwaukee Brewers
The NL Central champion Brewers announced the signing as a minor league contract and immediately selected him to the major league roster.
He can earn $1.55 million based on starts: $50,000 for five, $100,000 for 10, $200,000 for 15, $300,000 for 20, $400,000 for 25 and $500,000 for 30. Urena can earn $1.05 million for relief appearances: $50,000 for 20, $100,000 for 30, $150,000 for 40, $200,000 for 50, $250,000 for 60 and $300,000 for 70.
He would have a $250,000 salary if assigned to the minor leagues.
Urena, 30, went 4-8 with a 5.81 ERA for the Tigers last season in 26 appearances, including 18 starts. The right-hander had 67 strikeouts and 42 walks in 100 2/3 innings.
He owns a 36-54 career record with a 4.77 ERA, and 473 strikeouts and 250 walks in 697 2/3 innings. Urena pitched for the Marlins from 2015-20.
Urena’s best seasons came in 2017 and 2018. He went 14-7 with a 3.82 ERA in 2017 and was 9-12 with a 3.98 ERA in 2018.

WASHINGTON (AP) — 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.

Income Tax Department Prepares To Tax 30% Profits Made On Crypto Transactions
New Delhi:
The Income Tax Department will maintain a detailed eye on each transaction on crypto exchanges because the 30 per cent ‘crypto tax’ proposed within the Union Budget comes into impact from 1st April 2022.
Income tax officers have been given route to take action by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), an apex physique of the earnings tax division, officers instructed ANI.
A senior Finance Ministry official mentioned, “Our officers will keep a close eye on the Cryptocurrency exchanges which are around 40 in number where transactions in major coins like Bitcoin, Etherium are going on.”
Officials instructed ANI that out of 40 cryptocurrency exchanges 10 are majorly dealing within the sale and buy of cryptocurrencies and their turnover is between Rs 34,000 crore to Rs 1 trillion.
The official mentioned aside from crypto exchanges IT sleuths may even observe the crypto transaction via reporting entities.
The new tax regime of cryptocurrency will fall below part 285BA and sub part (ok) of IT Act. Where below rule 114 E, individuals are required to report the prescribed monetary statements within the assertion of economic transactions (SFT), any one who is accountable for audit below part 44AB (Like Individuals, HUF, companies, and so on.).
The official mentioned that by July 1, 2022, when the division will begin deducting 1 per cent Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) on crypto transactions, it’s going to develop into simpler for the division to trace crypto transactions.
On February 2 JB Mohapatra, Chairman, Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), in an interview to ANI mentioned that monitoring and tracing these crypto buyers may be very tough. The TDS provision will now assist in monitoring and tracing the people who find themselves on this enterprise and making income however are usually not submitting it of their earnings tax returns.
Other than tracing via TDS they are often tracked via reporting entities. The imposition of 30 per cent tax on proceeds of digital property, as introduced within the Union Budget 2022-23, will result in large tax collections because the turnover of the highest 10 crypto exchanges within the nation is round Rs 1 trillion, mentioned Mohapatra.
Mohapatra mentioned, “During our pilot project on crypto we found that they are operating on four models.”
“People are trading in crypto but they are not filing it in their income tax returns. Those crypto traders filing their income tax returns have no indication of crypto trading. The third model, we found that there are details of crypto trading but their estimates of stock sale and purchase or cryptos are wrong.
“The fourth mannequin exhibits the main points of crypto income of their earnings tax return however they present it as earnings from different sources, earnings from capital positive aspects, or earnings from the enterprise. In suspicious circumstances, earnings tax returns weren’t filed. This may be very problematic for us,” the CBDT chairman mentioned.

City gives prognosis : Peak cherry blossom time in Bonn is imminent
Bonn The cherry blossoms in the Old Town of Bonn are just about in full bloom. The city has now issued a prognosis. Meanwhile, the city administration is preparing for the cherry blossom visitors.
On some streets in Bonn, such as Heerstrasse, the popular ornamental cherries are already partially in full bloom, while in other places in the Old Town many buds are still closed. According to information released by the city administration, the peak cherry blossom time is just about here. However, it remains to be seen what effect the cooler weekend temperatures will have.
For all those who already want to admire the natural phenomenon, the city will set up portable restrooms this Friday in the schoolyard of the Marienschule and at the corner of Maxstrasse and Breite Strasse. Should it become very crowded in the Old Town, there could be short-term closures for motor vehicle traffic.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden vastly overpromised Thursday when he told Americans they can expect savings of $500 a month by transitioning to renewable energy. It's possible they might save that much over a year, not per month.
Biden addressed the subject while announcing plans to order the release of 1 million barrels of oil per day from the strategic petroleum reserve for the next six months.
Biden is grappling with fallout from surging energy prices, including gasoline that has reached an average of $4.23 per gallon, after the United States banned imports of Russian oil and gas.
It’s unclear how much gasoline prices might dip from Biden’s new order, but the president did promise immediate savings from adopting renewable energy:
BIDEN: “If your home is powered by safer, cheaper, cleaner electricity like solar or heat pumps, you can save about $500 a month on average.”
THE FACTS: Not so. The average person in the U.S. spends far less than that every month on electricity.
The average electric bill for homeowners was $115 per month in 2019, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Between 2009 and 2019, the average monthly electric bill for a U.S. homeowner never surpassed $120.
In a statement released to support his order Thursday, the White House predicted his energy plan would save people “$500 a year from using clean electricity like solar and heat pumps to power their homes.”
Earlier this year Biden himself promised to save “families an average of $500 a year by combatting climate change.” But in a fumble, he cast the savings this time as monthly. The White House corrected Biden’s remark in a transcript, making clear he meant to say the savings he predicted would be over a year.
Even yearly savings, though, would take years for homeowners to realize, given the upfront cost of installing solar panels and heat pumps in homes.

The Bundesliga resumes to a full house as Union Berlin is allowed a capacity crowd for the first time in months for Cologne’s visit. Coronavirus restrictions are being scrapped in Berlin from Friday, part of a wider trend under national guidelines that will see full stadiums across the league. It’s going to be a special game for Cologne coach Steffen Baumgart, a fan favorite at Union for the two seasons he played at the club before its relegation to the third division in 2004. Baumgart played in Union’s heaviest ever second-division defeat, a 7-0 loss to Cologne in October 2002. Union’s record since it gained promotion to the Bundesliga in 2019 is far better. Of five games against Cologne in the top division, the Köpenick-based club has won four and drawn the other. Union has also won its last three Friday night games, in contrast to Cologne, which lost its last three. Another win would let Union replace Cologne in seventh place.

Mutations in the TP53 tumour suppressor gene are found in ~50% of human cancers [1,2,3,4,5,6]. TP53 functions as a transcription factor that directly regulates the expression of ~500 genes, some of them involved in cell cycle arrest/cell senescence, apoptotic cell death or DNA damage repair, i.e. the cellular responses that together prevent tumorigenesis [1,2,3,4,5,6]. Defects in TP53 function not only cause tumour development but also impair the response of malignant cells to anti-cancer drugs, particularly those that induce DNA damage [1,2,3,4,5,6]. Most mutations in TP53 in human cancers cause a single amino acid substitution, usually within the DNA binding domain of the TP53 protein. These mutant TP53 proteins are often expressed at high levels in the malignant cells. Three cancer causing attributes have been postulated for mutant TP53 proteins: the inability to activate target genes controlled by wt TP53 (loss-of-function, LOF) that are critical for tumour suppression, dominant negative effects (DNE), i.e. blocking the function of wt TP53 in cells during early stages of transformation when mutant and wt TP53 proteins are co-expressed, and gain-of-function (GOF) effects whereby mutant TP53 impacts diverse cellular pathways by interacting with proteins that are not normally engaged by wt TP53 [1,2,3,4,5,6]. The GOF effects of mutant TP53 were reported to be essential for the sustained proliferation and survival of malignant cells and it was therefore proposed that agents that can remove mutant TP53 protein would have substantial therapeutic impact [7,8,9]. In this review article we discuss evidence for and against the value of targeting mutant TP53 protein for cancer therapy.

China hacked at least six state governments in last year, cyber firm says
China hacked at least six state governments in the U.S. in the past year, Mandiant, a private security firm, said in a report Tuesday.
The hacking group, APT41, is believed to have worked with China to hack the six state governments, exploiting unknown vulnerabilities in the governments’ systems, The Associated Press reported.
One vulnerability that was present in 18 states’ animal health management agencies was an unknown flawed commercial web application.
Another unknown weakness was a software flaw, called Log4j, that the hackers used to get into government websites several times, according to the AP,
Rufus Brown, a senior threat analyst at the firm, said the hackers’ “persistence to gain access into government networks, exemplified by re-compromising previous victims and targeting multiple agencies within the same state, (shows) that whatever they are after it is important,”
Geoff Ackerman, a principal threat analyst at Mandiant, warned not to lose site of cyber concerns from other countries while attention is on Russia, the AP noted.
“While the ongoing crisis in Ukraine has rightfully captured the world’s attention and the potential for Russian cyber threats are real, we must remember that other major threat actors around the world are continuing their operations as-usual,” he said. “We cannot allow other cyber activity to fall to the wayside, especially given our observations that this campaign from APT41, one of the most prolific threat actors around, continues to this day.”

By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar | Associated Press
WASHINGTON — When the end of the COVID-19 pandemic comes, it could create major disruptions for a cumbersome U.S. health care system made more generous, flexible and up-to-date technologically through a raft of temporary emergency measures.
Winding down those policies could begin as early as the summer. That could force an estimated 15 million Medicaid recipients to find new sources of coverage, require congressional action to preserve broad telehealth access for Medicare enrollees, and scramble special COVID-19 rules and payment policies for hospitals, doctors and insurers. There are also questions about how emergency use approvals for COVID-19 treatments will be handled.
The array of issues is tied to the coronavirus public health emergency first declared more than two years ago and periodically renewed since then. It’s set to end April 16 and the expectation is that the Biden administration will extend it through mid-July. Some would like a longer off-ramp.
Transitions don’t bode well for the complex U.S. health care system, with its mix of private and government insurance and its labyrinth of policies and procedures. Health care chaos, if it breaks out, could create midterm election headaches for Democrats and Republicans alike.
“The flexibilities granted through the public health emergency have helped people stay covered and get access to care, so moving forward the key question is how to build on what has been a success and not lose ground,” said Juliette Cubanski, a Medicare expert with the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation, who has been researching potential consequences of winding down the pandemic emergency.
MEDICAID CHURN
Medicaid, the state-federal health insurance program for low-income people, is covering about 79 million people, a record partly due to the pandemic.
But the nonpartisan Urban Institute think tank estimates that about 15 million people could lose Medicaid when the public health emergency ends, at a rate of at least 1 million per month.
Congress increased federal Medicaid payments to states because of COVID-19, but it also required states to keep people on the rolls during the health emergency. In normal times states routinely disenroll Medicaid recipients whose incomes rise beyond certain levels, or for other life changes affecting eligibility. That process will switch on again when the emergency ends, and some states are eager to move forward.
Virtually all of those losing Medicaid are expected to be eligible for some other source of coverage, either through employers, the Affordable Care Act or — for kids — the Children’s Health Insurance Program.
But that’s not going to happen automatically, said Matthew Buettgens, lead researcher on the Urban Institute study. Cost and lack of awareness about options could get in the way.
People dropped from Medicaid may not realize they can pick up taxpayer-subsidized ACA coverage. Medicaid is usually free, so people offered workplace insurance could find the premiums too high.
“This is an unprecedented situation,” said Buettgens. “The uncertainty is real.”
The federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, is advising states to take it slow and connect Medicaid recipients who are disenrolled with other potential coverage. The agency will keep an eye on states’ accuracy in making eligibility decisions. Biden officials want coverage shifts, not losses.
“We are focused on making sure we hold on to the gains in coverage we have made under the Biden-Harris administration,” said CMS Administrator Chiquita Brooks-LaSure. “We are at the strongest point in our history and we are going make sure that we hold on to the coverage gains.”
ACA coverage — or “Obamacare” — is an option for many who would lose Medicaid. But it will be less affordable if congressional Democrats fail to extend generous financial assistance called for in President Joe Biden’s social legislation. Democrats stalling the bill would face blame.
Republicans in mostly Southern states that have refused to expand Medicaid are also vulnerable. In those states, it can be very difficult for low-income adults to get coverage and more people could wind up uninsured.
State Medicaid officials don’t want to be the scapegoats. “Medicaid has done its job,” said Matt Salo, head of the National Association of Medicaid Directors. “We have looked out for physical, mental and behavioral health needs. As we come out of this emergency, we are supposed to right-size the program.”
TELEHEALTH STATIC
Millions of Americans discovered telehealth in 2020 when coronavirus shutdowns led to the suspension of routine medical consultations. In-person visits are again the norm, but telehealth has shown its usefulness and gained broader acceptance.
The end of the public health emergency would jeopardize telehealth access for millions enrolled in traditional Medicare. Restrictions predating COVID-19 limit telehealth mainly to rural residents, in part to mitigate against health care fraud. Congress has given itself 151 days after the end of the public health emergency to come up with new rules.
“If there are no changes to the law after that, most Medicare beneficiaries will lose access to coverage for telehealth,” the Kaiser Foundation’s Cubanski said.
A major exception applies to enrollees in private Medicare Advantage plans, which generally do cover telehealth. However, nearly 6 in 10 Medicare enrollees are in the traditional fee-for-service program.
TESTS, VACCINES, TREATMENTS, PAYMENTS & PROCEDURES
Widespread access to COVID-19 vaccines, tests and treatments rests on legal authority connected to the public health emergency.
One example is the Biden administration’s requirement for insurers to cover up to eight free at-home COVID-19 tests per month.
An area that’s particularly murky is what happens to tests, treatments and vaccines covered under emergency use authorization from the Food and Drug Administration.
Some experts say emergency use approvals last only through the duration of the public health emergency. Others say it’s not as simple as that, because a different federal emergency statute also applies to vaccines, tests and treatments. There’s no clear direction yet from health officials.
The FDA has granted full approval to Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine for those 16 and older and Moderna’s for those 18 and older, so their continued use would not be affected.
But hospitals could take a financial hit. Currently Medicare pays them 20% more for the care of COVID-19 patients. That’s only for the duration of the emergency.
And Medicare enrollees would have more hoops to jump through to be approved for rehab in a nursing home. A suspended Medicare rule requiring a prior three-day hospital stay would come back into effect.
Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra recently told The Associated Press that his department is committed to giving “ample notice” when it ends the public health emergency.
“We want to make sure we’re not putting in a detrimental position Americans who still need our help,” Becerra said. “The one that people are really worried about is Medicaid.”

HONOLULU — A Hawaii judge has granted a couple's request for a temporary restraining order against Ezra Miller, an actor known for playing “The Flash" in “Justice League” films.
The couple filed a petition for a temporary restraining order Tuesday, alleging that Miller burst into their bedroom and threatened them in Hilo, a small town on the Big Island. The petition also accused Miller of stealing some of their belongings, including a passport and wallet.
The judge's order, filed in court Wednesday, said it was necessary to grant the couple's petition to prevent harassment.
Days earlier, Miller allegedly harassed patrons at a karaoke bar. Late Sunday, police were called to Margarita Village in Hilo, where they said Miller yelled obscenities, grabbed a mic from a singing woman and lunged at a man playing darts.
“The bar owner asked Miller to calm down several times to no avail,” police said in a news release.
Miller was arrested at the bar shortly after midnight Monday and charged with disorderly conduct and harassment. Miller was released on $500 bail.
Miller, described by police as a 29-year-old visitor from Stamford, Vermont, has been the source of police calls in Hilo 10 times since March 7, Hawaii Police Assistant Chief Kenneth Quiocho said, adding it's not clear how long Miller has been on the island.
They were “manini” incidents — a Hawaii Pidgin term that can mean minor or small — such as filming people at a gas station, refusing to leave the sidewalk area of a restaurant and arguing with people, Quiocho said.
Neither Miller nor the actor's representatives could immediately be reached for comment Thursday.
Miller is ordered to appear at a court hearing for the temporary restraining order against harassment in Hilo on April 13.
Miller, who has been credited as the first out LGBT person to play a lead role in a major superhero film, has played hyper-verbal outcasts in movies big (“Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them”) and small (“We Need to Talk About Kevin” and "The Perks of Being a Wallflower”).
Miller also has a key role in the upcoming “Harry Potter”-universe film “Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore."

Investor Conference Call to be Held Today at 5:00 PM Eastern Time (2:00 PM PT)
SAN DIEGO, March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Nuvve Holding Corp. (Nuvve) (Nasdaq: NVVE), a global cleantech company electrifying the planet at the intersection of energy and transportation through its intelligent energy platform, today announced a fourth quarter and full-year 2021 update.
Fourth Quarter Highlights and Recent Developments
- Deployed first vehicle-to-grid (V2G) charging solution with a school bus in Colorado in partnership with Blue Bird
- Won inaugural Next Big Things in Tech Award from Fast Company
- Entered into a strategic engagement with Swell Energy to offer solar and stationary battery storage combined with Nuvve's intelligent electric vehicle charging solution for residential and commercial customers
- Announced plans to form a joint venture with 2021.AI to integrate artificial intelligence with Nuvve's V2G platform
- Levo announced a 10-year contract awarded by the school district in Troy, Illinois to support its effort to fully electrify its fleet
- Cash and cash equivalents of $32.4 million, as of December 31, 2021
Management Discussion
Gregory Poilasne, chairman and chief executive officer of Nuvve, said, "V2G technology is increasingly gaining recognition across the myriad of stakeholders that stand to benefit from its adoption. Nuvve's dedicated focus to date on pioneering and evolving its proprietary V2G solution has resulted in our offering a holistic solution to intelligently integrate EVs into the grid that we believe is unmatched by others. As a result, we are seeing increased interest in our products and services, and in the fourth quarter of 2021, we saw momentum continuing to build. This is evidenced by key partnership announcements, such as our plans to create a first-of-its-kind V2G hub with Blue Bird, a 20% growth in megawatts under management from the third quarter, and a significant increase in orders for our chargers. Looking ahead, we are thrilled to be off to a strong start in 2022 as we continue to find ways to broaden and differentiate our unique offering through additional new partnerships and with our joint venture, Levo. We see a robust pipeline of potential project wins, which we expect will translate to healthy growth in megawatts under management and backlog over time."
2021 Fourth Quarter Financial Review
Total revenue was $1.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 14.6%. The decrease is attributed to $0.3 million decrease in grants revenue.
Cost of product and service revenues primarily consisted of the cost of charging station goods sold. Cost of product and service revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2021, increased by $0.7 million, primarily due to the sales of charging stations in the United States, with no similar activity in the comparable period. Product and services margin decreased by 53.5% to 2.8% from 56.3% compared to the same prior year period mostly due to a higher mix of hardware charging stations sales and a lower mix of engineering services in the current quarter.
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of selling, marketing, advertising, payroll, administrative, finance, and professional expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $6.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, as compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $4.1 million, or 172.3%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in compensation expenses, including share-based compensation and non-recurring severance costs related to departures of former employees, and $0.5 million of professional fees related to internal operational reviews, and governance costs associated with the completion of the Business Combination and the Company becoming a recapitalized publicly traded company in March 2021, $0.3 million representing expenses resulting from the consolidation of Levo's Mobility LLC's (Levo) activities beginning in the third quarter 2021. Levo is Nuvve's recently formed joint venture with Stonepeak Partners LP (Stonepeak), and Evolve Transition Infrastructure LP (Evolve) enabling customers to lease V2G electric school buses, related charging infrastructure, and energy management for an attractive flat monthly fee with no upfront costs.
Research and development expenses increased by $1.0 million, or 113.9%, from $0.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020 to $1.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in compensation expenses and subcontractor expenses used to advance Nuvve's platform functionality and integration with more vehicles.
Other income (expense) increased by $33.5 thousand of expense, from $0.24 million of other expense for the three months ended December 31, 2020, to $0.3 million in other expense for the three months ended December 31, 2021. The increase during the three months ended December 31, 2021, was primarily attributable to the change in fair value of the private warrants liability.
Net loss includes the net loss attributable to Stonepeak and Evolve, the holders of non-controlling interests in Levo, on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. We began consolidating the results of operations of Levo during the quarter ended December 31, 2021.
Net loss increased by $6.1 million, or 238.9%, from $2.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, to $8.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. The increase in net loss was primarily due to increase in expenses of $5.8 million and increase in other expense of $33.5 thousand for the aforementioned reasons.
Net Loss Attributable to Non-Controlling Interest
Net loss attributable to non-controlling interest was $0.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021.
Net loss is allocated to non-controlling interests in proportion to the relative ownership interests of the holders of non-controlling interests in Levo, an entity formed by us with Stonepeak and Evolve. We own 51% of Levo's common units and Stonepeak and Evolve own 49% of Levo's common units. We have determined that Levo is a variable interest entity in which we are the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, we consolidated Levo and recorded a non-controlling interest for the share of the entity owned by Stonepeak and Evolve during the three months ended December 31, 2021.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, Nuvve raised net proceeds of $62.0 million from the business combination and PIPE (Private Investment in Public Equity) offering. As of December 31, 2021, Nuvve had a cash balance of $32.4 million.
Conference Call Details
Nuvve will hold a conference call to review its financial results for the fourth quarter of 2021, along with other company developments at 5:00 PM Eastern Time (2:00 PM PT) today, Thursday, March 31, 2022.
To participate in the call, please register for and listen via a live webcast, which is available in the 'Events' section of Nuvve's investor relations website at https://investors.nuvve.com/. In addition, a replay of the call will be made available for future access.

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – For some people, overdraft fees are a frustrating inconvenience. For others, they pose crippling costs. Some lawmakers now want to change how they’re charged altogether.
Rep. Carolyn Maloney introduced legislation called the “Overdraft Protection Act.” The bill includes provisions to cap the amount and number of fees a bank can charge.
“My bill tries to cut down on these unfair and deceptive practices,” the New York Democrat said.
Advocates like Elyse Crawford-Hicks with Americans for Financial Reform say overdraft fees hit low-income families and people of color the hardest.
“Overdraft fees are paid the most by people who can least afford them,” Crawford-Hicks said.
Others say over-drafting is a useful service because it can function like a short-term loan. Paul Kundert is the CEO of UW Credit Union, which recently reduced their overdraft fees and put more limits on how they charge them.
“When prices are fair, we believe consumers do benefit from access to the credit provided by overdraft fees,” Kundert said.
Recently, major banks like Wells Fargo, Citigroup and Bank of America have made changes themselves, by reducing their overdraft fees or eliminating them altogether.
Rep. Roger Williams, R-Texas, says that demonstrates the legislation is unnecessary.
“The market is naturally, naturally taking care of the issue without government intervention. And we do not need more rules from Washington,” Williams said.
Because banks make billions of dollars in revenue from overdraft fees, George Mason University Foundation Professor of Law Todd Zywicki argues the proposed changes would cost consumers.
“We’ll see higher bank fees, we’ll see higher minimum monthly deposits as basically insurance against over-drafting and we will see a loss of access to free checking,” Zywicki said.
Lawmakers like Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., are promising to continue pushing for the reforms.
“How can we perform such an abusive and predatory practice that punishes people simply for being poor?” Pressley said.

NEW YORK — Major League Baseball finalized the rules change to bring back automatic runners in extra innings for a third straight season.
Despite an easing of pandemic restrictions, MLB and the players’ association agreed to keep the controversial rule that starts each team with a runner on second base during extra innings for the 2022 regular season.
The agreement regarding on-field rules modifications also includes expanding active rosters from 26 players to 28 from opening day on April 7 through May 1 this year, due to the delayed start of spring training.
Another new rule benefits Angels two-way star Shohei Ohtani. With the designated hitter adopted in both leagues, pitchers who start games in the batting order can remain in the game as a DH after leaving the mound. A DH can also enter the game to pitch. That change will apply to multiple seasons.
“The expansion of the designated hitter and giving two-way players enhanced flexibility to showcase their talents will benefit the game for the foreseeable future,” union director of player services Kevin Slowey said in a statement. “The roster and extra-inning adjustments will also serve to protect the health and safety of players during what will be a unique 2022 season.”
The “zombie” runner modification was applied to the 2020 and 2021 regular seasons as part of adjustments due to COVID-19.
There were 78 extra-inning games during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, and the longest by innings were a pair of 13-inning contests at Houston, won by the Los Angeles Dodgers on July 29 and by Oakland on Aug. 7. Every previous season since 1901 had at least one game of 15 innings or longer
There were 233 extra-inning games last year, and the longest was the Dodgers’ 16-inning win at the San Diego Padres on Aug. 25.
The modification for 2020 and 2021 that shortened doubleheaders to scheduled seven-inning games was not continued for 2022.
Active rosters will be 28 from opening day through May 1; 26 from May 2 through Aug. 31; and 28 for the rest of the regular season. Last season, the limit was 26 from opening day through Aug. 31, then 28.
Rookie qualifications going forward will remain the same as in 2021, when September days were not excluded toward the threshold of 45 days for the exhaustion of rookie status in future seasons.

- ALGO price consolidates above a parallel trend channel.
- ALGO price can rally towards $1.06.
- An invalidation for the bullish trend is at $0.7610.
ALGO price action looks impulsive
Algorand price has consolidated all week as the digital asset currently hovers at $0.92. It was mentioned in last week's thesis that the bulls would likely be trailing up stops as the first target for the March 16th trade setup was successfully reached at $0.87. ALGO price continued the rally, recently tapping the prominent 161.8% and 200% Fibonacci levels at $0.92 and $0.98, respectively.
Algorand price now consolidates above a breached parallel trend channel which screams bullish momentum for the future. A surpass of the current swing high at $0.98 could warrant breakout traders to aim for the $1.00 and $1.06 levels in the weeks to come, resulting in a 17% rally from the current ALGO price.
ALGO/USDT 1-Day Chart
An invalidation for this trade setup is vital for traders who have not participated in this month's earlier trade setups. ALGO price should under no circumstances fall 17% below $0.7610. If this selloff were to occur, the bulls would lose all momentum. Algorand price would likely fall into $0.70 and retest the broken wedge at the mid-$0.60 zone, resulting in up to a 30% crash from the current price.

The crypto ecosystem has seen rapid growth in the number of platforms that custody digital assets for customers, and the Securities and Exchange Commission was concerned that these firms were not being straight with investors as to the risks associated with this line of business.
The securities regulator issued new guidance Thursday to public crypto platforms, urging them to recognize crypto held on the behalf of customers as a liability and asset on their balance sheets, the value of which could be lessened due to the unique risks posed by cryptocurrencies like bitcoin
BTCUSD,
Crypto exchanges like Coinbase Global Inc.
COIN,
The guidance noted that custody of crypto assets involved “unique risks and uncertainties” relative to other assets that are technological, legal and regulatory in nature. These risks included theft, fraud and the chance that new regulatory obligations could be placed on platforms that could impair the value of digital assets.
“These risks can have a significant impact on the entity’s operations and financial condition,” the staff accounting bulletin said. “The staff believes that the recognition, measurement and disclosure guidance…will enhance the information received by investors and other users of financial statements about these risks, thereby assisting them in making investment and other capital allocation decisions.”
SEC officials told reporters on a background call that many public companies were not applying the accounting standards outlined in the guidance, but that they believed most companies could become compliant with relatively little effort.

Germany activates emergency gas plan : What the emergency gas plan means for consumers
Berlin The German government is preparing for a significant worsening of gas supplies. Federal Economics Minister Robert Habeck in Berlin is therefore putting the early warning level into effect. This is what it means for consumers.
On Wednesday, Economics Minister Robert Habeck (Greens) announced that Germany would go into the early warning level of the emergency gas plan. "There are currently no supply bottlenecks. Still, we must increase precautionary measures so that we are prepared in the event of an escalation on the part of Russia," Habeck said. The price of gas on the stock exchange increased by a fifth. Here some key questions and answers.
■ What is the gas contingency plan?
The "gas contingency plan" spells out the steps in which customers are disconnected if there is too little gas in Germany. First, an attempt is made to remedy a regional shortage by redistribution. Then internal orders can be cut off and supplies to gas-fired power plants interrupted. Finally, industrial customers can be disconnected following a predetermined order. In this way, the "protected customers," i.e., private households and hospitals, are to be supplied as far as possible even during the crisis.
■ What are the various crisis levels?
According to the emergency plan, there are three levels: the early warning level, the alert level and the emergency level. The early warning stage must be declared if there are concrete and serious indications that a significant deterioration in gas supply could occur. Habeck is now convening a crisis team with the Federal Network Agency and energy suppliers to regularly assess the situation and keep an eye on gas storage facilities, which are currently 25 percent full. The alert level comes into effect if there is a disruption in gas supply that the market can still cope with. The last level is the emergency level: then the state steps in and imposes "non-market-based measures" to ensure supply to "protected customers."
■ Why is the ministry declaring the early warning level now?
The background is Russian President Vladimir Putin's threat to accept payments for gas deliveries only in rubles in the future in order to stabilize the Russian currency. The G7 countries and the European Union see Putin's threat as a clear breach of contract, but the Kremlin continues to insist. In response, Russia could turn off the gas tap on the important Nord Stream 1 pipeline, for example. However, the Kremlin said on Wednesday that the switch in payments for Russian gas supplies to Europe from euros and dollars to rubles would not yet take effect on Thursday. Germany last bought 55 percent of its gas from Russia, but the share has fallen to 40 percent as a result of contract adjustments.
■ What are the consequences for consumers?
None at present. Habeck stressed that the overall supply to all German gas consumers is currently still guaranteed - this applies to private consumers and social welfare institutions such as hospitals, but also companies, district heating and the electricity sector. However, Habeck appealed to companies and private consumers "that they help us, that they help Germany, that they help Ukraine when they save gas and energy overall." The German Association of Energy and Water Industries (BDEW) says: "But also this winter no one has to freeze."
■ Which companies would be disconnected from the gas first?
Talks have been going on for weeks between the state and industrial customers about which companies would be the first to go off the gas grid, just in case. Some companies have supply contracts that give them favorable conditions in exchange for a willingness to be disconnected. Other companies, such as those in the glass industry, may not be cut off because vials for the Covid vaccine are needed, for example.
■ What do companies say about the emergency gas plan?
Uniper (an energy company based in Duesseldorf) welcomes Habeck's announcement. "It makes sense to declare the early warning stage in the current situation in order to be prepared for an escalation that no one can currently rule out," the spokesman said. The industry association BDEW has been calling for this step for weeks. If worse came to worse, he said, things would have to move quickly, and then all stakeholders would have to know their rights and obligations. Eon, the largest network operator, said, "We support the German government's decision to declare the early warning stage of the emergency gas plan, because in the current situation we have to prepare for many conceivable scenarios in advance and as a precaution. The early warning stage facilitates the coordination of all relevant market players with the responsible bodies in politics and administration."
■ What does the (political) opposition say?
The co-chairman of the Left Party parliamentary group in the Bundestag, Dietmar Bartsch, called on the German government to use a televised address to educate people about the emergency gas plan and the possible consequences of a supply freeze. "It is right, the federal government must not allow itself to be blackmailed. But it is unclear what this emergency plan means, which stages come when and what the consequences of a supply stop would be." The CDU/CSU faction in the Bundestag is insisting on an extension of the operating times for nuclear power plants. "I still do not understand why the German government refuses to allow the existing nuclear power plants to be used for longer for ideological reasons. 13 percent of Russian gas is currently used to generate electricity in Germany. If we were to start reducing there, we would already make ourselves a bit more independent," said CSU state group leader Alexander Dobrindt.
■ What do the economic experts expect?
The German Council of Economic Experts drastically scales back its forecast for the German economy. Because of the war in Ukraine, it expects gross domestic product to grow by only 1.8 percent this year instead of the 4.6 percent initially predicted. If there is a halt to Russian energy imports, a recession is also possible. Economists speak of recession when the economy shrinks for two quarters in a row. "The risk of a recession is substantial," said economist Volker Wieland. Added to that are rising prices: The experts expect an inflation rate of 6.1 percent this year. If oil and gas prices continue to rise, the inflation rate could even climb to 7.5 to almost nine percent. This is fueling concerns about stagflation (i.e. stagnation and inflation). In 2023, the German economy could grow again, and the inflation rate could fall to 3.4 percent, according to the experts. Ultimately, it all depends on how the war develops.

DES MOINES, Iowa — Two Republican women asked a judge Thursday to remove Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abby Finkenauer from the June primary ballot, claiming a state panel wrongly rejected their challenge to her nomination papers earlier this week.
Kim Schmett and Leanne Pellett, who have served as Republican county officials, challenged a decision by the State Objections Panel on Tuesday to reject their challenge of Finkenauer. The former congresswoman from Dubuque is seen as the frontrunner in a three-person race for the Democratic nomination and the right to face Republican Sen. Charles Grassley, who is seeking an eighth term in the Senate.
Schmett and Pellett had argued Finkenauer hadn't gathered enough signatures on her nomination petitions to qualify for the primary ballot, but the panel rejected their challenge on a 2-1 vote. Attorney General Tom Miller and Auditor Rob Sand, both Democrats, voted against the challenge while Secretary of State Paul Pate, a Republican, supported their claim.
The court challenge argues the panel's decision was based on a wrong interpretation of the law and that Sand and Miller should have recused themselves from considering the objections.
It asks a Polk County judge to reverse the panel or require a new hearing with Sand and Miller replaced by new members appointed by Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds.

Among the other things that happen at an Iredell County Extension and Community Association meeting, there is often the sharing of a short story. This time it was Charlene Overcash sharing a story she had seen recently about a handful of bees stuck in honey after it was harvested.
While the farmer’s daughter prompted him to set the honey outside, he believed their fate was sealed. However, in a few days, thanks to help from other bees, they were rescued and returned to the hive to continue their work of making more honey.
“There’s something amazing about that, an inspiration,” Judy Athey said. She is the Extension and Community Association’s president.
That fighting spirit, and help from other bees, is what made the difference.
“Will I fight to make each day a triumph, or accept my fate and wait and die?” Overcash said.
It was fitting too that one of the door prices included a mug that said “Bee Kind” which Athey said was unplanned, but perfect considering the shared story and thought of the day.
People are also reading…
“Friendship and what we do to make it stick together makes me proud to be your president,” Athey said earlier in the meeting. “We are like little bees, and we can help others all the time.”
Helping each other, like those bees, and the community is the mission of the ECA these days. Whether selling goods or raising money, the group hopes to help out those in Iredell County who could use a helping hand.
That’s why the 37-member organization honored Joyce Trivette of its Clarksbury club, for her $1,709 in donations and volunteer hours, and Overcash for her $1,260 in donations to various causes.
Athey said last year made it harder for the group’s members to donate as much time to causes, but she was still proud that they accomplished despite the challenges.
According to their records, ECA members volunteered more than 500 hours of work and donated a total of $4,173 to local charities, schools and people in need.
The meeting also took time to recognize the craftwork of several members, as well as an informative presentation from Judy Porter and Crystal Cline of Iredell Health. The two spoke on how to prevent yourself from ending up in the hospital through healthy habits, as well as how to plan for when the inevitable emergencies arrive.
The group ended the meeting with lunch and time enjoying each other’s company as it looks forward to what it will do to keep busy throughout the year.
“People need to know when they’re older, retired, don’t have anything to do, they should reach out and contact our club because we help a lot of people,” Athey said. “We’re busy bees.”

Nearly 70% of medical debt in collections will be removed from credit reports, bureaus say
Medical debt is a costly burden that weighs on millions of patients who seek life-saving care — it's the leading cause of bankruptcy in America and the largest source of personal debt among consumers.
In an effort to support those who are faced with unexpected hospital bills, Equifax, Experian and TransUnion will soon remove nearly 70% of medical debt in collections from credit reports.
"Medical collections debt often arises from unforeseen medical circumstances," credit bureau executives said in a joint statement. "These changes are another step we’re taking together to help people across the United States focus on their financial and personal wellbeing."
Keep reading to learn more about the agencies' new policy around medical debt reporting, as well as how to pay off unpaid hospital bills in collections. You can also enroll in free Experian credit monitoring services through Credible.
CREDIT CARD CONSOLIDATION MAY SAVE YOU THOUSANDS AS PERSONAL LOAN RATES ARE AT RECORD LOWS
Removing medical debt from reporting may boost consumer credit scores
Beginning in July, paid medical debt in collections will no longer be included in credit reporting. And in the first half of 2023, the credit bureaus will no longer include medical collections debt under $500 on credit reports.
The agencies are also increasing the time period before unpaid medical bills would appear on a consumers' credit history to one year, up from six months previously. They anticipate the combined measures will remove nearly 70% of existing medical debt tradelines.
The decision came shortly after the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) released a report finding that unpaid medical bills account for 58% of debt in collections.
"Even when a patient tries to battle to get an accurate bill or an insurance claim paid, medical debt collectors have a weapon that is hard to fight against: the credit report," CFPB Director Rohit Chopra said.
While the credit bureaus have effectively dropped many types of medical bills from credit reporting, millions of consumers are still faced with debt in collections. If these bills remain unpaid, they could potentially result in negative credit score impacts after a one-year period. Third-party debt collectors may eventually pursue civil action to recuperate the costs, which can result in wage garnishment and attorney fees.
HOW YOUR STUDENT LOANS COULD BE IMPACTED BY THE FED RATE HIKE
How to pay off medical debt in collections
Although some medical collections debt will soon be dropped from credit reporting, consumers still owe the balance of their unpaid bills from prior health care services. Here are a few strategies for repaying medical debt in collections:
- Negotiate your medical bills with the provider or debt collector
- Utilize a medical financing card or 0% APR credit card
- Consolidate medical debts into a fixed-rate personal loan
Read more about each method in the sections below.
Negotiate your medical bills with the provider or debt collector
Patients may be able to settle their medical bills for less than they owe by negotiating with the collection agency that holds the debt. It may also be possible to enroll in an interest-free payment plan to spread your hospital bills into lower monthly installments. Here are a few negotiation tips from the CFPB:
- Ask the debt collector for a written notice about the origin of the debt and how much money is owed. You should also know the age of the debt, so you can see if it meets your state's statute of limitations.
- Propose a realistic debt settlement or repayment proposal. Calculate how much you can afford to pay each month, or see if you have enough money to settle the debt in a smaller lump-sum.
- Be honest about your situation, as you may have more room to ask for a discount if you have a long-term health condition or other financial burden. Take notes of your conversation with the creditor.
You can use a cost comparison tool like Healthcare Bluebook to research the average price of the service you received in your area, which may be used as leverage while you negotiate the balance in your collection account. And if you aren't confident in your own negotiation skills, you may consider enlisting the help of a nonprofit credit counselor to speak with your creditors on your behalf.
CREDIT CARD DEBT IS SURGING AT A RECORD-HIGH RATE, NY FED REPORTS
Utilize a medical financing card or 0% APR credit card
Some medical providers offer low-interest and no-interest financing options through a medical credit card like CareCredit. Keep in mind that these payment plans are typically offered through the original health care provider, not debt collectors. They also typically come with a high purchase APR if you don't adhere to the payment agreement.
Alternatively, you could consider opening a new credit card with a 0% APR purchase period. This may allow you to repay your medical expenses without paying interest for a period of up to 21 months. It's important to note that these offers are generally reserved for applicants with very good or excellent credit, defined by the FICO model as 740 or higher.
You can visit Credible to compare credit cards with 0% APR introductory offers.
LOOKING FOR A LIFE INSURANCE AGENT? HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT ONE
Consolidate medical debts into a fixed-rate personal loan
One common way to repay debt is with an unsecured personal loan that you repay in fixed monthly payments over a set period of months or years. Since personal loans have fixed interest rates, they may offer more favorable repayment terms than variable-rate credit cards.
Personal loan lenders determine interest rates and eligibility based on a borrower's credit score. Applicants with excellent credit will qualify for the lowest rates possible, while those with bad credit may not be eligible at all.
To see if you're a good candidate, you can get prequalified for a debt consolidation loan with a soft credit check. You can also browse current interest rates in the table below, and use Credible's personal loan calculator to estimate your monthly payments.

Inquest fails to identify Vic mum’s killer

Ms James was stabbed 68 instances in June 1980 at her Thornbury dwelling and bookshop.

Ms English mentioned whereas police had been flooded by info and false leads following a $50,000 reward on the time, they had been chargeable for main errors which hamstrung the investigation.

The coroner mentioned the inquest delivered an open discovering, with Ms James’ killer nonetheless un recognized, and beneficial police do a full seek for lacking proof.
She mentioned each Father Bongiorno and Keogh had a motive to kill the mother-of-three.

English Premier League: Chelsea v Brentford (Correct Score)
Show HideSaturday 2 April, 3.00pm
Using Expected Goals (xG) data from Infogol, Tom Victor provides Premier League result and scoreline predictions as all 20 teams return to action...
"Manchester United haven't played a competitive game since March 15, and Ralf Rangnick's side will hope to be well-rested as they host a Leicester side who handed them a 4-2 defeat several months ago."
Liverpool v Watford
Saturday, 12:30
Liverpool's away hammering of Watford in October came with an xGF of 2.95 for Jürgen Klopp's side, and even the return of former Reds boss Roy Hodgson to Vicarage Road looks unlikely to help the Hornets. The hosts have the league's best xGF average - home or away - and Infogol's model backs them to make light work of their relegation-threatened opponents at Anfield.
BTTS? No
Over/Under 2.5? Over
Correct Score Prediction - Back the 4-0 @ 9.008/1
Brighton & Hove Albion v Norwich City
Saturday, 15:00
The two sides at the bottom of the form table meet at the Amex Stadium, and home advantage might be enough to give Graham Potter's the side against bottom-of-the-table Norwich. The visitors are averaging just 0.85 xGF per game on their travels, and Infogol expects the Seagulls
BTTS? No
Over/Under 2.5? Under
Correct Score Prediction - Back the 2-0 @ 7.807/1
Burnley v Manchester City
Saturday, 15:00
Burnley have lost their last three league games, failing to score in the process, and are in danger of being cast adrift in the bottom three. They won't be best pleased to be up against league leaders City, who comfortably won the reverse fixture and are averaging a frankly terrifying 2.38 xGF per game on the road. While the visitors have to contend with fallout from the international break, Infogol still expects them to win.
BTTS? No
Over/Under 2.5? Over
Correct Score Prediction - Back the 0-3 @ 8.207/1
Chelsea v Brentford
Saturday, 15:00
Chelsea rode their luck in the reverse fixture against Brentford, but still ended up with all three points. Infogol suggests the Stamford Bridge meeting will be a little more straightforward for Thomas Tuchel's side, with the visitors' 1.77 xGA average perhaps playing a part, and three points for the Blues can help them cement their top-four status going into the last few games.
BTTS? No
Over/Under 2.5? Over
Correct Score Prediction - Back the 3-0 @ 9.6017/2
Leeds United v Southampton
Saturday, 15:00
After two huge wins, with a 3.15 xGF average in the process, Leeds have a chance to take another big step towards Premier League safety. Jesse Marsch's side are narrow favourites against Southampton, according to Infogol's model, but the visitors haven't won in a full month and Ralph Hasenhüttl is expected to lose out in the battle between two former RB Leipzig managers.

Wolverhampton Wanderers v Aston Villa
Saturday, 15:00
Wolves will go into Saturday's game without Raúl Jiménez after the forward's red card last time out, and they could find things tough against an increasingly solid Villa defence. Steven Gerrard's side are coming off successive defeats, but both were narrow, and the Villans will know these are the kinds of game they need to win if they want to secure a top-half finish this season.

Manchester United v Leicester City
Saturday, 17:30
Manchester United haven't played a competitive game since March 15, and Ralf Rangnick's side will hope to be well-rested as they host a Leicester side who handed them a 4-2 defeat several months ago. Brendan Rodgers' Foxes are averaging a worrying 2.09 xGA on their travels, while a number of injury concerns could leave them with an uphill battle at Old Trafford.

West Ham United v Everton
Sunday, 14:00
Neither West Ham nor Everton have been in the best of form lately, but the visitors' dismal away form could end up holding them back at Frank Lampard takes on the club where he began his playing career. Lampard's Toffees have fewer away league points than anyone else in the Premier League, averaging 1.99 xGA per game, and West Ham have the goods to take advantage.
BTTS? Yes

Tottenham Hotspur v Newcastle United
Sunday, 16:30
Newcastle lost at home to Tottenham in their first post-takeover game back in October, since when both sides have improved under new managers. Antonio Conte's hosts are finally beginning to kick into gear, winning four of their last five league games with a 2.29 xGF average, and that could be too much for a Magpies side who have still probably done enough to make survival a formality.
BTTS? Yes
Over/Under 2.5? Over
Correct Score Prediction - Back the 2-1 @ 9.4017/2
Crystal Palace v Arsenal
Monday, 20:00
Arsenal are likely to have seen the pressure on them ramped up by the time they kick off on Monday night, with the top four race tightening and tightening. Things won't be easy for them against Crystal Palace, with the Gunners needing a late equaliser in the reverse fixture, but Infogol's model still backs them to produce the goods at Selhurst Park and stay in control of their fate.
BTTS? Yes

In a televised appearance alongside President Nicolás Maduro, Khan said he welcomed the commitment of the Venezuelan government to explore cooperation and technical assistance as part of the efforts to investigate alleged crimes against humanity.
Among other measures, Khan said Maduro’s government agreed to provide visas to court officials and to the participation of international organizations and partners, including the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.
“Any state that encounters difficulties in complying with the rule of law must be respected,” Khan said. He added that he is “aware that the visit has not been easy, perhaps; but I feel very grateful for the commitment and the frank debates that we have had.”
Khan announced the investigation in November. At the time, the court and Maduro’s administration signed a memorandum of understanding in which the government agreed to cooperate to clarify the facts that led to the initiation of the process.
That announcement followed a lengthy preliminary probe started in February 2018 that focused on allegations of excessive force, arbitrary detention and torture by security forces during a crackdown on anti-government protests in 2017.
Khan’s predecessor, Fatou Bensouda, had indicated there was a reasonable basis to conclude that crimes against humanity had been committed in Venezuela, echoing the findings of the U.N.’s human rights council last year. But she left the decision to open any probe to Khan, a British lawyer who took the reins of the ICC earlier this year.
Maduro on Thursday said the opening of the office in Venezuela will allow for an “effective level of dialogue” that will help clarify the facts in a timely manner.
“We are first interested in seeing justice carried out, and where a crime of the characteristics is committed, it be punished according to the law, on time,” Maduro said. He added that the country’s judicial system is being overhauled.
Since its creation two decades ago, the ICC has mostly focused on atrocities committed in Africa. It could be years before any criminal charges are presented as part of the court’s investigation.
In a written statement, Khan said the start of the process “is not a one-way street” and should also serve as the basis for stronger partnerships.
He said efforts to put into effect the memorandum of understanding will include providing technical assistance and knowledge transfer to Venezuelan authorities “to support the effective investigation and prosecution at the national level of alleged crimes,” as well as offering training and expert advice to help implement domestic legislation.

ATLANTA — The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has been called in to look into whether a school resource officer was justified in shooting a mom after she allegedly brought a gun on campus.
This happened outside of Booker T. Washington High School's campus Wednesday. Atlanta Police and Atlanta Public Schools (APS) Police were called to investigate, and several patrol vehicles were seen in the area after school's 3:30 p.m. dismissal.
11Alive Legal Analyst Page Pate said having a gun on school campus is a felony unless you have a carry permit.
"If you have a carry permit right now, you can have a gun on school property as long as you keep it in your car. But if you take the gun out of your car, if you have it with you, and certainly if you take it out and brandish it or pointed at someone, then that is a misdemeanor and could be a more serious charge depending upon what you're doing with the gun," he said.
The mom is now charged with:
- Obstructing a Law Enforcement Officer with Violence
- Disrupting Public School
- Carrying/Possession of Firearm on School Property
- Aggravated Assault
- Cruelty to Children
- Contributing to Delinquency of a Minor
APS said she refused to put the gun down, leading a school resource officer to shoot her in the hand.
“Having a gun is one crime but pointing a gun at someone else can be aggravated assault," Pate explained.
A woman who said she's the mom's sister claims she was trying to defend her child after another parent said she was going to shoot the teen. Pate said a self-defense claim would be difficult to prove.
"You certainly can't be the aggressor with a firearm," Page added. "The key question is: 'At the time, was that gun pulled out and used?', Did the person using it have a reasonable belief that they were about to be shot or someone nearby was about to be shot?'"
This comes at a time when we're seeing a sharp rise in violence. APS is one of a handful of metro districts that has its own police department. APS' includes a chief of police, six supervisors, three investigators, and 55 school resource officers.
Kevin Angell is a board member and instructor for the Georgia Alliance of School Resource Officers and Educators. He said there are no set hours of training needed in Georgia to become an SRO.
"The SRO decisions are typically made by the sheriff or the police chief in that jurisdiction or a Board of Education, police chief or police department, from the Sheriff's Office perspective," he explained.
In the 2018 to 2019 school year, high schools in the district saw a total of 161 violent incidents. In the 2021 to 2022 school year, that number was already at 100 by December – in one semester alone.
"Thankfully, this wasn't an active shooter situation," Angell said. "But when we look back at active shootings or school shootings for the last almost 100 years now, we know that they're only going to last minutes. So in this case, having an SRO on campus that was able to be there in seconds, if not minutes, is really important. It appears that they tried to verbally de-escalate this and try not to have to use that level of force. And that really goes to credit their training."
APS said they have found 31 weapons since the school year began in August.
“I think a lot of credit goes to APS in this situation, made several attempts to de-escalate this situation before having to use force," Angell added.
The woman's family is contesting law enforcement's account, saying she dropped the weapon, but the officer still shot her.

By Colleen Long | Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A lot is known about the few hours that shook American democracy to the core. The defeated president’s incendiary speech, the march by an angry crowd to the U.S. Capitol, the breaking in, the beating of cops, the “hang Mike Pence” threats, the lawmakers running for their lives, the shooting death of rioter Ashli Babbitt. All of that chaos unfolded over about eight hours on one day: Jan. 6, 2021.
But for all that is known about the day, piecing together the words and actions of Donald Trump over that time has proved no easy task, even though a president’s movements and communications are closely monitored.
There’s a gap in the official White House phone notations given to the House committee investigating Jan. 6 — from about 11 a.m. to about 7 p.m., according to two people familiar with the congressional investigation into the riot. Details may still turn up; the former president was known to use various cell phones and often bypassed the White House switchboard, placing calls directly.
And over the past four-plus months a lot has surfaced about what Trump did do and say on Jan. 6 — in texts, tweets, videos, calls and other conversations.
The following account is based on testimony, timelines and eyewitness reporting gathered by The Associated Press and The Washington Post and CBS News, and from officials and people familiar with the events who spoke to The AP on condition of anonymity.
SORE AT HIS NO. 2
Trump entered the Oval Office at 11:08 a.m. By that time, about 400 pro-Trump demonstrators had already massed at the Capitol. Trump placed a call to Vice President Mike Pence — their only conversation of the day. It didn’t go well: Trump wanted Pence to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory, and he was very unhappy the vice president wouldn’t do it.
At 11:38 a.m., the president left the White House to address his rally on the Ellipse, a big grassy oval behind the White House, about a mile or so from the Capitol. It was bitter cold, but that didn’t keep the crowd away. Trump was up on stage by 11:57 and addressed his supporters until about 1:15 p.m.
Among Trump’s challenging final words: “We fight. We fight like hell, and if you don’t fight like hell you’re not going to have a country any more. My fellow Americans, for our movement, for our children, and for our beloved country. So we’re going to, we’re going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue. And we’re going to the Capitol.”
‘THEY’RE THROWING METAL POLES’
Growing crowds were migrating to the Capitol. Almost immediately after Trump concluded, a Capitol Police officer called for backup.
“They’re throwing metal poles at us,” the officer said in a panicked voice. “Multiple law-enforcement injuries.”
Would Trump himself head for the Capitol, as he’d suggested in his speech? It was unclear at first, but his motorcade turned to head back to the White House.
At 1:21 p.m., Trump met with his valet at the White House, logs say. At the Capitol, meanwhile, then-Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund begged for help from the National Guard as the crowd started to swell around the west side of the building and became increasingly violent.
By then the TV networks had picked up the melee and were broadcasting live as the mob broke through metal police barricades and advanced toward the doors of the building where lawmakers were gathered to certify the presidential election results. The surreal images soon filled television screens throughout the West Wing, where staffers watched, stunned.
LOCKDOWN
By 2 p.m. the U.S. Capitol was locked down. At 2:11, Pence was evacuated. At 2:15, congressional leaders were evacuated. At 2:43, demonstrator Babbitt was shot trying to enter the House chamber through a window broken by the mob.
No official record has surfaced yet of what Trump was doing during this time. It’s unusual for such an official gap to exist — a president’s every move and contact is noted, especially in the White House. The next entry in Trump’s daily diary is not until 4:03 p.m., when he went out to the Rose Garden to tape a public address after frantic urging.
But during this time Trump was hardly idle. He was in touch with lawmakers and he was, according to aides, watching the violence unfold on national television. And he was tweeting.
At 2:28, he tweeted not about the violence but to show his pique at his vice president:
“Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!”
At some point, Trump also talked to lawmakers. Republican Kevin McCarthy told a California radio station that he had spoken to the president.
“I was the first person to call him,” McCarthy said. “I told him to go on national TV, tell these people to stop it. He said he didn’t know what was happening.”
California Republican Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler said McCarthy relayed that conversation to her. By her account, when McCarthy told Trump it was his own supporters breaking into the building, Trump responded: “Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are.”
Trump also talked to Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan and Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama, among other GOP lawmakers. Tuberville later said he spoke to the president while the Senate was being evacuated. Utah Sen. Mike Lee said Trump accidentally called him when he was trying to reach Tuberville.
Others, including former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, tried but failed to get through to the president.
‘IT HAS GONE TOO FAR’
At 3:14 p.m. a Trump tweet at last made a sideways reference to the havoc. “I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!”
At some point, he sequestered himself in the dining room off the Oval Office to watch the violence play out on TV, rewinding and re-watching some parts, according to former aides. Unable to get through by other means, allies including his former chief of staff and communications director resorted to tweeting at him to try to get through. Chief of Staff Mark Meadows was getting a flurry of texts from lawmakers, from Fox News personalities and even Trump’s own children.
“Hey, Mark, protestors are literally storming the Capitol. Breaking windows on doors. Rushing in. Is Trump going to say something?” reads one text.
“We are all helpless,” says another.
As the violence continued, the president’s elder son texted Meadows:
“He’s got to condemn this s(asterisk)(asterisk)(asterisk) Asap,” Donald Trump, Jr. texted.
Meadows responded: “I’m pushing it hard. I agree.”
Trump, Jr. texted again and again, urging that his father act:
“We need an Oval address. He has to lead now. It has gone too far and gotten out of hand.”
‘REMEMBER THIS DAY FOREVER!’
At 4:08 p.m. Trump went out to the Rose Garden. At 4:17 p.m. he released a scripted, pre-recorded video, which included a call for “peace” and “law and order” and finally told his supporters “you have to go home now.”
But they didn’t. Things were still wildly out of control. In fact, the Capitol building was not secured until 5:34 p.m.
At 6:01, Trump’s message was back to indignant: “These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long,” he wrote. “Remember this day forever!”
At 6:27, he went back to the residence, and started calling his lawyers.
Congress did not resume counting electoral votes until 8 p.m. They finished at 3:40 a.m. and certified Biden as the winner.
Associated Press Writers Jill Colvin in New York, Nomaan Merchant, Zeke Miller, Lisa Mascaro, Mary Clare Jalonick and Mike Balsamo contributed to this report.

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

2 million have now fled Ukraine, UN says
The United Nations announced that about 2 million people have fled from Ukraine since the start of Russia’s invasion of the country.
United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi said that millions have left Ukraine, with nearly 500,000 fleeing on Sunday alone, according to The Washington Post.
“This is where we need a more structured system in the E.U. and certainly beyond the E.U. [for] … how to share this responsibility,” Grandi said on Monday, referring to how to manage the distribution of the Ukrainian refugee population, according to the Post.
“I do hope that this, in the end, is the silver lining of this crisis, that Europe understands that any country can become [a] recipient of large numbers of refugees and need the help of others,” he reportedly added.
Most refugees have sought safety in nearby countries, including Poland, where about 1 million people have fled.
Over the weekend, Grandi referred to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine as “the fastest growing refugee crisis in Europe since World War II.”
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered more U.S. troops into Europe over the weekend “to respond to the current security environment in light of Russia’s renewed aggression against Ukraine.”
At the time, he added that President Biden has called for American troops to stay out of Ukraine, but that the forces sent to Europe would aid NATO allies in order “to shore up capabilities that are already there.”

- Polkadot price is up 20% in the last two weeks.
- DOT price is finding support at the 100-Day moving average.
- An invalidation for the bullish trend lies at $18.13.
Polkadot price has more upside potential
Polkadot price has rallied 20% in the last two weeks, establishing a new swing high at $23.33. It was forecasted on March 15 that a triangle formation could project a 38% rally for the Polkadot price. Now that the DOT price has halfway validated the corrective WXY pattern, the bulls are experiencing downside pressure from the bears.
Polkadot price could warrant early investors to join the uptrend as the digital asset is currently hovering above the 100-Day moving average. If bulls can establish firm support in this zone, prices could continue to rally an additional 20% towards $26.
DOT/USDT 8-Hour Chart
Invalidation of the current bullish trend lies at $18.13. If the bears could breach this level, the entire bullish model for the Polkadot price would be void. A further sell-off would likely occur between $16.50 and $16, resulting in a 25% correction from the current Polkadot price.

Alma Cook Announces Her New Oilfield-Themed Song And Music Video "5000 Candles"
Submit your news, get featured!
New York, NY (Top40 Charts)
"5000 Candles" is the story of an unexpected love for people, place, and industry. Through the song's playful and affectionate lyrics, singer-songwriter Alma Cook humanizes the North Dakota oilfield and invites Americans into parts of the country that are typically unnoticed and unappreciated.
A city kid by birth and a musician by trade, Alma is one of many accidental entrepreneurs in the Bakken oil patch. When she first visited Williston, the epicenter of the Bakken, to take odd jobs at a friend's company after college, she didn't know the difference between a drilling rig and a cell phone tower - something many Americans can relate to!
Little
by little, she fell in love with the industry, building unlikely friendships and learning that many of her preconceptions about oil and gas were unfounded.
"5000 Candles" was born along the way. Flying into Williston late one night, Alma was struck by a sight that North Dakota locals are all too familiar with: a landscape dotted with hundreds of flickering natural gas flares. She put a pen to paper and tried to capture the beauty she saw—not just the beauty of the glowing landscape, which was a vivid representation of America's energy dominance, but of the often-maligned oil and gas industry itself. "We don't think enough about the beauty we make," sings Alma in the second verse.
The new music video, also released today, features dawn-to-dusk footage of the Bakken oilfield as well as many faces of hardworking locals. At a time when global energy supply is under geopolitical threat, Alma sings of the oilfield, "We'll let the world judge what they don't know," reminding us that the men and women of the energy industry are to be cherished and honored. Their efforts make our lives better and more comfortable.
Alma owns Cook Compliance Solutions, a boutique advisory firm that advises oilfield contractors about safety compliance and supply chain challenges.

BRIGHTON, Colo. (AP) — A Colorado couple face felony charges in connection with the fentanyl death of their 1-year-old child, whom prosecutors say died after ingesting enough of the extremely lethal drug to kill an adult.
Alonzo Montoya, 31, and Nicole Casias, 30, of the Denver suburb of Brighton were charged with child abuse resulting in death and distribution of a controlled substance in connection with the girl's death on Jan. 2, the 17th Judicial District's Office said in a statement Thursday.
It said the Adams County Coroner had determined that the child died after ingesting fentanyl and that Montoya and Casias “participated in illicit drug activity” in the child's presence at home before and after her death.
Montoya was being held on $250,000 bail at the Adams County Jail. Bail was set at $100,000 for Casias. A status hearing for both was set for Monday.
Telephone and email messages seeking comment from Casias' attorney, Rachel Lanzen, were not immediately returned. Montoya was being represented by the public defender's office, which doesn't comment on pending cases.
Court records that would provide details on the accusations weren't immediately available from the county district court. Christopher Hopper, a district attorney's spokesman, said he could not provide additional information.
Fentanyl is an unpredictable and powerful synthetic painkiller blamed for driving an increase in fatal drug overdoses. It’s 50 to 100 times stronger than morphine, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

OAKLAND, Iowa (KMTV) — Iowa lawmakers are attempting to make changes to the state's decades-old bottle redemption law that was originally passed in 1978. Whenever Iowans buy a bottle or can, they pay five cents. If they bring it back to a redemption center or grocery store, they get their money back.
But the number of redemption centers and return rates have dropped dramatically. There used to be 300 redemption centers in the Hawkeye State — now there are only 60.
"It was year after year of legislators hearing from home that Iowans wanted the bottle bill saved," State Sen. Jason Schultz (R) said.
The Senate's bill increases the handling fee for redemption centers. Instead of one cent, they'll get three cents for each container. The hope is to pour more money into these businesses.
"The Redemption Centers are starving. They're shutting down one by one, county by county, and it's time we put enough money in there to get them back on their feet to cause other people to open new redemption centers or just expand the current ones with more locations," Schultz said.
But Sen. Pam Jochum isn't convinced the three cents will do the trick — considering all the Capitol needed to establish any kind of redemption center - even a "mobile" one - where you return the containers, scan codes and get the money back. Jochum also takes issue with the bill cutting the barrel tax on beer.
"The beer distributors get another $4 million break cutting your taxes this year starting in July. In addition the distributors — your Anheusers, Busches, Coca Colas, Pepsis — what they get to do under this bill is retain any of the unredeemed deposits. So we're talking if there's only a 25% return rate and there's 1.8 billion cans of beer and pop sold in this state each year," Jochum said.
"This was a conglomerate of interests that came in together. It's probably not the best policy itself, but the outcome of the bill is what Iowans want," Schultz said.
Under the legislation, grocery stores can choose to not take empty bottles and cans starting in 2023.
"They're not clean when they come back in, they can bring in a lot of diseases or whatever," said Charles Reed Jr. from Rubak's Food Center in Oakland.
Reed Jr. says the bottles and cans can be a "pain" since he has to separate them by company. But he's mixed about whether the legislation can provide help.
"If we don't take them back, they have to take them someplace to get their money. We don't have a redemption center in town, they'll have to take them to Council Bluffs or Atlantic. When they take them there, they'll probably just buy their cans and their groceries at that place," Reed Jr. said.
The bill will need to go to the House, which has their own version of the bill. A state congress member tells 3 News Now that the earliest they will take it up would be next Tuesday.

A Fort Lauderdale police officer assaulted and arrested a Black man at his job after he and a guest had a physical altercation over a racial slur and a stay cancellation. Prominent attorney Ben Crump leaked a copy of the surveillance camera video this week, which appears to show the cops detained the wrong man.
CBS4 reports that on Jan. 19 Raymond Rachal was assaulted twice: once verbally by a belligerent guest because the employee canceled his stay at the Best Western Plus, and secondly when an officer, in response to a call about Rachal’s subsequent fight with the man, the officer rushed in and pushed Rachal back into a small refrigerator.
Rachal was working at the front desk of the hotel, located at 1180 Sea Breeze Blvd., in Fort Lauderdale, when Jason Rabe, a guest who had left earlier after his reservations were nixed, returned in a fury.
The video shows Rabe charge past the closed gate to where Rachal seated.
When Rabe gets into Rachal’s area, the clip shows the Lauderdale Lakes resident jumping up and punching the aggressor in the face. Eventually, he beats the man down to the floor.
Another person comes into the area. As the two fight, once Rabe is pinned to the floor by Rachal, the man calls 911.
Rachal can be heard yelling, “He ran right towards me, and I had to defend myself.”
Later he heard saying, “And they let him go, they stupid as sh-t.”
The comment references an earlier incident where police came to the property because Rabe was being disruptive and didn’t arrest him.
This time, when the police came, they made an arrest. They cuffed Rachal, without hearing the nature of the fight or who they were called for.
Rachal was detained for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest with violence, however, those charges were dropped, Local 10 reports.
In a report about the incident, Officer Anthony Camodeo justified his actions in the report saying the officers received a call about “a male having another male in a headlock” at the hotel and when he saw Rachal had Rabe in the chokehold and he was bleeding. Camodeo then admitted he pushed Rachal, adding the worker pushed him back.
Camodeo wrote, “I ordered the defendant several times to back up, which he failed to do, and pushed him back several more times as well.”
“The defendant then with his arms pushed me back. I then attempted to place the defendants’ arms behind his back, when he tensed up his arms and upper body and was holding his arms in front of him, resisting officers’ efforts to handcuff him,” NBC 6 reports the officer said.
Footage reveals the write-up is not accurate and Camodeo was the only one making physical contact. Crump’s tweet about the video read, “Hotel employee Raymond Rachal tried to exercise his RIGHT to cancel a white hotel guest’s stay for spewing racial slurs at him, but Ft. Lauderdale (Fla) PD officers allowed the man to STAY & Rachal was attacked, arrested & charged for defending himself!”
The clip shows while being pushed, the employee continued to explain and chronicle what happened. At one point, he even points toward the video camera in the corner of the lobby ceiling, saying it would verify his account.
Camodeo also wrote Rachal “tensed up his arms and upper body and was holding his arms in front of him resisting officers’ efforts to handcuff him,” and “struggled” as he tried to get him into the back of his patrol car.
Rachal was taken to the Broward County jail and the police gave Rabe, who still seemed to be drunk, a courtesy ride to a friend’s house. Court records reveal Rachal was released on a $1,000 bond. All charges against Rachal were dropped in February.
The FLPD released a statement on Monday, March 28, regarding the events on Jan. 19, saying, they were “aware of a video circulating social media relating to an arrest made in January,” and “Fort Lauderdale’s Office of Internal Affairs is conducting a review of this incident.”
Rachal’s mother hope to retain a civil rights attorney, but it appears despite Crump leaking the video, he’s not announced he was taking the case on.
Rachal no longer works at the hotel.

Check in Chippewa County connects people during the pandemic
CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis. (WEAU) - With pandemic measures easing, people are starting to gather again.
One program, however, has been working to keep people in Chippewa County connected throughout the pandemic.
Started by the Chippewa County Department of Public Health’s COVID Volunteer Task Force, Check in Chippewa County has allowed people to stay connected in isolation.
Health department Community Health Division Manager Kristen Kelm helped spearhead the program.
“It came about after an individual that was in quarantine had told me, ‘Well why do you have to stop calling me?’ And we didn’t really think about that someone checking in on someone everyday was important to someone,” she said.
Here’s how it works:
Volunteers are matched up with participants. The volunteer then calls and checks up on that person.
Kelm said it’s not designed to be a health crisis line, but--
“It has been crucial to keeping people’s mental health in a stable place,” she said.
“We’ve had 145 hours of calling going on in the last two years. We’ve had 14 matches made with volunteers and their matches and still had six of those connections happening on a weekly basis,” Check in Chippewa County Volunteer Coordinator Cheryl Scheidler said.
She said the pandemic’s been tough on everyone but, after spending the past two years matching volunteers and participants, she’s seen the program create lasting friendships.
“We build connections for a reason, a season or a lifetime,” Scheidler said. “And in this case with Check in Chippewa, the reason was COVID-19 and the world pandemic, the season was for two years and ongoing and maybe some of these connections will be lifetime connections.”
Kelm said she expects the program to outlast the pandemic.
She said people who are interested in volunteering or receiving a regular check-in should contact the health department.

The Benefits Of A Hybrid Mattress + A Shopping Guide
Oftentimes, you need to kiss a few frogs before finding your dream mattress. While cushy foam options may feel too soft for your liking, spring beds can be too firm. Hybrid mattresses—which combine the functionalities of both—tend to be ideal for the widest variety of sleepers. Today, we're sharing what to know about this mattress type, how to shop for one, and six brands that could be your prince or princess charming.
What are hybrid mattresses?
Hybrid mattresses are composed of a layer of firm spring coils covered with a softer layer like memory foam or natural latex. They combine the firm qualities of a spring mattress with the soft, absorbent qualities of foam into a hybrid that many sleepers find comfortable. Hybrid mattresses can be comfortable for side sleepers, back sleepers, and stomach sleepers, depending on their firmness.
Health Coach Certification
A best-in-class, board certified curriculum grounded in a holistic approach to healing.
Ideally, your hybrid mattress will hug your body but also leave you free to move around and change sleeping positions as the night goes on. And sleep experts agree that it's worth taking your time to find this perfect fit. "The average person will spend one-third of their life on a mattress so choosing one that is comfortable and supportive to health is important," Alan Hedge, Ph.D., an ergonomics researcher and Professor Emeritus at Cornell University, tells mbg.
"If we don't have a comfortable mattress providing us adequate support, we won't get good-quality sleep, which has a cascade of effects," adds Doug Cary, Ph.D., a physiotherapist and sleep posture researcher based in Australia. "There is no system in the human body that is not affected by lack of sleep."
Benefits of hybrid mattresses.
These are some of the perks of a high-quality hybrid:
- Supportive for back, side, and stomach sleepers
- Promote healthy sleep posture
- Minimize stiffness or pain upon waking
- Comfortable
- Easy to move around in
- Breathable
- Quiet motion transfer
- Can be affordable
What to look for in a mattress.
Not all mattresses are created equal, and Cary and Hedge both agree that you'll want to try out a mattress for yourself before buying. That's the only way to truly ensure that it's comfortable for you and your body type. When searching for your perfect mattress, these are the boxes they say to tick:
1. It's the right firmness level.
Hedge explains that you'll want to avoid mattresses that feel too soft or too hard to you.
"If a mattress is too soft, it can feel comfortable in the short-term but it will restrict movement during the night which can restrict circulation to muscles, and it will be uncomfortable in the long term (like sitting on a bean bag chair)," he explains. If a mattress is too hard, on the other hand, "It will compress the soft tissues of the body (like sitting on a rock hard chair)."
The right hybrid mattress will strike a nice balance between these two; feeling comfortable yet supportive. Any new mattress can be an adjustment at first, so give it a few nights before gauging how the firmness feels to you.
2. It allows for movement.
Hedge and Cary explain that it's perfectly normal to move around in your sleep—and your mattress should give you the freedom to do so.
"Keeping the body still in one position restricts blood circulation which disturbs muscle function, causing stiffness and pain," Hedge explains. "Movement is important for spreading skin pressure over different body regions and promoting good circulation."
A hybrid mattress' spring layer should allow for easy movement, while its plush layer should minimize any bed squeaking as you adjust position.
3. It promotes good sleep posture.
Healthy sleep posture allows you to stay in a neutral, comfortable position as you rest. It shouldn't lead to hyperextension or put too much pressure on any one part of the body. After years of studying people's sleep habits, Cary has found that back sleeping and side sleeping tend to be the most supportive sleep postures—but there's a catch. Side sleepers will want to make sure that their legs are aligned as they sleep. If one knee is further forward than the other, it can lead to a rotation in the spine, causing you to wake up with pain or stiffness in the neck or back.
He's found that it's possible to train yourself to have better sleep posture (and offers a free program to help) but it will be more difficult if you're sleeping on the wrong mattress.
Medium-firm mattresses tend to be best for promoting healthy sleep positioning, and many hybrid mattresses fit into this category.
4. It's breathable.
Finally, Hedge adds that you'll want to find a mattress that doesn't trap heat during the night, as toasty environments can disrupt sleep quality (especially for those who are already prone to run hot while they sleep). You'll likely need to spend the whole night in a mattress to get a sense of this; yet another reason to try before you buy.
How we chose.
Clearly, there are a lot of factors to consider on the mattress hunt and what works for one person won't work for the next. With that in mind, we put together this list of order-online hybrids that earn the highest marks from reviewers; the people who actually sleep in them!
All of them have at least a 100-night trial period, so you can easily try them out to make sure they check the above boxes for you. We opted for medium and medium-firm models since these tend to be the most supportive for sleep posture.
A little more about our ranking criteria: At mbg, we prefer products to be made using natural, non-toxic materials whenever possible—and mattresses are no exception. Memory foams are more likely to off-gas volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that may cause respiratory irritation, skin irritation, etc., than 100% natural latex foam extracted from rubber trees. Plus, traditional foams are petroleum-based, so they're not doing our planet any favors. We prioritized mattresses made using natural foams and marked when they are not.
All of the prices listed are for Queen mattress sizes, but there's always a chance they've changed since publication.
Our recommendations.

- Best hybrid mattress for couples: Nest Sparrow Signature Hybrid Memory Foam
- Best organic hybrid mattress: Plush Beds The Botanical Bliss® Organic Latex Mattress
- Best overall: Birch Natural Mattress

Best fast delivery: Leesa Hybrid Mattress
Firmness: 6/10
Price: $1,699
Trial period & warranty: 100-night trial, 10-year warranty
Standout perk: Free & fast shipping
Con: Synthetic foam, need to set up yourself
If you want to try out a new mattress stat, Leesa can do that for you. Your order will go out to you within three to five businesses days and arrive in a box for you to unpack yourself. Reviewers rave about the hybrid design that supports the neck and hips, and many of them say that this mattress has helped ease arthritis pain as well as the general aches of getting older. The finishing touch is a top layer that is hole-punched to stay cool all night. Leesa is also a B Corp certified brand, making them a leader in the sustainable mattress space.
Leesa, Hybrid Mattress
Best for side sleepers: Casper Nova Hybrid Mattress
Firmness: 5/10
Price: $2,295
Trial period & warranty: 100-night trial, 10-year warranty
Standout perk: Designed for ergonomic alignment
Con: Synthetic foam, need to set up yourself
The ergonomic zones of this mattress are great for side sleepers (most of us, it turns out!). As Cary pointed out, those who sleep on their side will want to be mindful of their sleep posture because this position can easily strain the back and hips. Casper's Nova Hybrid zones (soft under the head and feet and firmer under the shoulders, hips, waist, and lower back for a more comfortable fit) can help keep you in good sleep form.
This mattress has a cushy feel, well-suited for side sleepers seeking a softer bed. It's made of a combination of polyurethane foam and memory foam (we'd prefer to see natural latex, but Casper at least tests its foam for emissions).
Casper, Nova Hybrid Mattress
Best for couples: Nest Sparrow Signature Hybrid Memory Foam
Firmness: 1-10/10, depending on foam layers
Price: $1,529
Trial period & warranty: 365-night trial, lifetime warranty
Standout perk: Option to split firmness (with King and Cal King)
Con: Synthetic foam, need to set up yourself
The most versatile mattress on the list, Nest lets you easily add and remove foam layers if you're looking for a softer or firmer feel. And if you share the bed with someone who prefers a totally different firmness, you have the option to split levels with the King and Cal King (both $1,799) sizes. You'll both appreciate Nest's lifetime warranty and 365-night trial period. This is another bed-in-the-box model and swapping out the foam layers does take some maneuvering, so it's not necessarily a set-it-and-forget-it sleep experience. This bed also uses memory foam, not natural latex.
Best organic: Plush Beds The Botanical Bliss® Organic Latex Mattress
Firmness: 6-8/10
Price: $1,899
Trial period & warranty: 100-night trial, 25-year warranty
Standout perk: Made from organic materials (latex, cotton, and wool)
Con: Need to set it up yourself (though setup options are available)
While some beds are treated with lots of potential irritants, Plush Beds are certified free of flame retardants, heavy metals, lead, and a whole host of other nasties. Their latex, wool, and cotton layers are also certified organic. If you're concerned about the VOCs emitted by mattresses over time (we wouldn't blame you), this is a solid pick. Reviewers also note that it's supremely comfortable, and both the firm and medium-firm options get high marks for helping all sorts of sleepers snooze through the night comfortably.
Plush Beds, The Botanical Bliss® Organic Latex Mattress
Best overall: Birch Natural Mattress
Firmness: 6/10
Price: $1,799
Trial period & warranty: 100-night trial, 25-year warranty
Standout perk: Made from organic materials (latex, cotton, and wool)
Con: Need to set it up yourself, topper option is expensive
Helix is a standout in the bed-in-a-box space for its wide range of personalized, comfortable mattress options. Their Natural Mattress from child company Birch combines functionality with sustainability. Made of organic wool and cotton and natural latex, it's a cozy bed that you can feel great sleeping on. It falls squarely in the medium-firm range. Those seeking more softness can add the accompanying topper (also organic) but it will set you back $450.
Birch, Natural Mattress
Best for back pain: The WinkBed
Firmness: 1-10/10 (depending on type)
Price: $1,499
Trial period & warranty: 120-night trial, lifetime warranty
Standout perk: Designed for back pain
Con: Synthetic foam, need to set it up yourself
For back pain sufferers, WinkBed's mattress comes with a "lumbar" layer in the middle for added support for your spine. It's been named the best bed for back pain sufferers by many third-party sites including Wirecutter and the Sleep Foundation.
The hybrid also comes in four firmness levels (soft, firm, extra firm, and plus for heavier sleepers) and has a lifetime warranty. It's made from conventional poly foam, though, for a small sustainable perk, its spring coils are made from recycled material.
WinkBed, The Winkbed
The bottom line.
Hybrid mattresses can set you up for a happy-medium sleep experience. They're not too soft, not too firm, and provide the best of both spring mattresses and foam ones to help you fall asleep fast and stay snoozing comfortably through the night. If you're still in the market for more recommendations, here are our favorite non-toxic mattresses and mattresses for side sleepers.

Personal loan rates edge up: Still lower than same time last year
Our goal here at Credible Operations, Inc., NMLS Number 1681276, referred to as "Credible" below, is to give you the tools and confidence you need to improve your finances. Although we do promote products from our partner lenders, all opinions are our own.
The latest trends in interest rates for personal loans from the Credible marketplace, updated weekly. (iStock)
Borrowers with good credit seeking personal loans during the past seven days prequalified for rates that were slightly higher for 3-year and for 5-year fixed rates compared to the previous seven days.
For borrowers with credit scores of 720 or higher who used the Credible marketplace to select a lender between Mar. 10 and Mar. 16:
- Rates on 3-year fixed-rate loans averaged 10.48%, slightly up from 10.43% the seven days before, and down from 11.16% a year ago.
- Rates on 5-year fixed-rate loans averaged 13.07%, slightly up from 13.01% the previous seven days, and down from 13.73% a year ago.
Personal loans have become a popular way to consolidate and pay off credit card debt and other loans. They can also be used to cover unexpected expenses like medical bills, take care of a major purchase or fund home improvement projects.
Rates for 3-year and 5-year fixed personal loans rose slightly over the past seven days. Rates for 3-year terms went up a slight 0.05%, while rates for 5-year terms increased by 0.06%. But rates for both terms remain well below average credit card interest rates, giving borrowers an opportunity to save on interest costs by refinancing credit card debt into a lower-interest personal loan.
Whether a personal loan is right for you often depends on multiple factors, including what rate you can qualify for. Comparing multiple lenders and their rates could help ensure you get the best possible personal loan for your needs.
It's always a good idea to comparison shop on sites like Credible to understand how much you qualify for and choose the best option for you.
Here are the latest trends in personal loan interest rates from the Credible marketplace, updated monthly.
Personal loan weekly rates trends
The chart above shows average prequalified rates for borrowers with credit scores of 720 or higher who used the Credible marketplace to select a lender.
For the month of February 2022:
- Rates on 3-year personal loans averaged 10.52%, down from 11.09% in January.
- Rates on 5-year personal loans averaged 12.99%, down from 13.40% in January.
Rates on personal loans vary considerably by credit score and loan term. If you're curious about what kind of personal loan rates you may qualify for, you can use an online tool like Credible to compare options from different private lenders. Checking your rates won't affect your credit score.
All Credible marketplace lenders offer fixed-rate loans at competitive rates. Because lenders use different methods to evaluate borrowers, it’s a good idea to request personal loan rates from multiple lenders so you can compare your options.
Current personal loan rates by credit score
In February, the average prequalified rate selected by borrowers was:
- 8.32% for borrowers with credit scores of 780 or above choosing a 3-year loan
- 29.42% for borrowers with credit scores below 600 choosing a 5-year loan
Depending on factors such as your credit score, which type of personal loan you’re seeking and the loan repayment term, the interest rate can differ.
As shown in the chart above, a good credit score can mean a lower interest rate, and rates tend to be higher on loans with fixed interest rates and longer repayment terms.
How to get a lower interest rate
Many factors influence the interest rate a lender might offer you on a personal loan. But you can take some steps to boost your chances of getting a lower interest rate. Here are some tactics to try.
Increase credit score
Generally, people with higher credit scores qualify for lower interest rates. Steps that can help you improve your credit score over time include:
- Pay bills on time. Payment history is the most important factor in your credit score. Pay all your bills on time for the amount due.
- Check your credit report. Look at your credit report to ensure there are no errors on it. If you find errors, dispute them with the credit bureau.
- Lower your credit utilization ratio. Paying down credit card debt can improve this important credit scoring factor.
- Avoid opening new credit accounts. Only apply for and open credit accounts you actually need. Too many hard inquiries on your credit report in a short amount of time could lower your credit score.
Choose a shorter loan term
Personal loan repayment terms can vary from one to several years. Generally, shorter terms come with lower interest rates, since the lender’s money is at risk for a shorter period of time.
If your financial situation allows, applying for a shorter term could help you score a lower interest rate. Keep in mind the shorter term doesn’t just benefit the lender — by choosing a shorter repayment term, you’ll pay less interest over the life of the loan.
Get a cosigner
You may be familiar with the concept of a cosigner if you have student loans. If your credit isn’t good enough to qualify for the best personal loan interest rates, finding a cosigner with good credit could help you secure a lower interest rate.
Just remember, if you default on the loan, your cosigner will be on the hook to repay it. And cosigning for a loan could also affect their credit score.
Compare rates from different lenders
Before applying for a personal loan, it’s a good idea to shop around and compare offers from several different lenders to get the lowest rates. Online lenders typically offer the most competitive rates – and can be quicker to disburse your loan than a brick-and-mortar establishment.
But don’t worry, comparing rates and terms doesn’t have to be a time-consuming process.
Credible makes it easy. Just enter how much you want to borrow and you’ll be able to compare multiple lenders to choose the one that makes the most sense for you.

Three years have passed since the late rapper Nipsey Hussle was shot and killed on March 31, 2019, in front of his Marathon Clothing store in Los Angeles at age 33. His passing impacted countless lives, as Nipsey served as a pillar in his community and a game changer in the music industry.
As fans mourn and celebrate his life, actress Lauren London, the five-year partner of Hussle, is penning a sweet tribute to her love on Instagram.
“Loving you. Here, there, then, now, forever and after,” London began in the caption. “Long live the King Ermias Asghedom Hussle Man.”
London and Nip began dating in 2013, and share a 5-year-old son, Kross. In February 2019 nearly a month before Nip’s passing, GQ Magazine released a stunning editorial spread of the couple. The article was titled “California Love with Nipsey Hussle and Lauren London.”
Nearly a year after his murder, London accepted Nip’s first Grammy Award, a posthumous honor, for DJ Khaled‘s track “Higher” and Hussle’s “Racks in the Middle,” the latter of which marks the last single he released before death.
London previously stated that Kross and her 12-year-old son Cameron inspired her to go back to work. The 37-year-old returned to acting in 2021, with the Michael B. Jordan-assisted film, “Without Remorse,” — which began filming the same year Hussle passed.
In an interview with “Entertainment Tonight,” the “ATL” star explained how she continues to pour into their son Kross about who his father is and was.
“It’s one of the reasons why I have Nip’s notes on my [left] arm and his portrait on my [right] arm. It’s not always for me. It’s for my son to always see his father,” said Lauren in April 2021. “You know, my son says every time he sees his mom, he sees his dad. Nip is very much alive in our household. He’s aware. He acts very much like his father.”

DHS supports second COVID-19 booster dose for certain groups
MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) - The Wisconsin Department of Health Services supports the FDA’s authorization and the CDC’s issuing of expanded eligibility for certain groups to receive a second booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Eligibility includes adults ages 50 years and older and certain immunocompromised people ages 12 years and older.
“Expanded eligibility requirements allow more immunocompromised Wisconsin residents the opportunity to get vaccinated and stay protected against COVID-19. We support the option of everyone ages 50 and older, and immunocompromised individuals getting a second booster dose at least four months after their first booster dose to help prevent the worst outcomes from the virus,” DHS Deputy Secretary Deb Standridge said.
The option of a second booster dose applies to both the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines.
The CDC also expanded eligibility for another booster dose for people ages 18-49 who are not moderately or severely immunocompromised and who received Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines as both their primary and booster doses.
These individuals may now receive a second booster dose of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine.

Fatigue Isn't An Inevitable Part Of Menopause — Here's What You Can Do
Do you find yourself drinking more and more coffee in the hopes that you’ll get your old energy back? Would you rather stay home on the couch than go out with your friends because you’re just too tired? You’re not alone.
Statistics show that 85.3% of post-menopausal women and 46.5% of peri-menopausal women experience symptoms of both physical and mental exhaustion.
Fatigue and menopause often go hand in hand. As women enter perimenopause, being tired all the time seems like a natural part of the transition. But just because 90% of your friends would rather stay home on the couch and watch a movie, doesn’t mean fatigue during menopause is inevitable.
What is fatigue?
To understand fatigue, you've got to understand how your body creates energy in the first place.
Your cells contain millions of tiny powerhouses called mitochondria. The mitochondria produce ATP (or adenosine triphosphate), a molecule that gives us energy.
If the mitochondria is the economy, ATP is the dollar bill. In the financial economy, you work to earn dollar bills. In the body, your mitochondria work to create the ATP that energizes your life.
The mitochondria make this precious resource and your body “spends” ATP molecules to bat an eyelash, walk across the room, think a thought, or digest your food.
If you are fatigued, that means your mitochondria are not functioning up to par and you are depleted in ATP. Just like when your finances are running low, it means that enough work hasn’t been performed and you do not have enough dollar bills to pay your bills.
Mitochondria in menopause
Our sex hormones aren’t only used for reproduction. You have more receptors for these hormones in your central nervous system and brain than anywhere else. Sex hormones are vital for healthy neurotransmitter levels which are a key factor in how you feel.
Health Coach Certification
A best-in-class, board certified curriculum grounded in a holistic approach to healing.
The majority of women become estrogen, progesterone, and often testosterone deficient during menopause. In addition, many women suffer from undiagnosed stress hormone cortisol imbalances. Both sex and stress hormone imbalances contribute to fatigue during menopause.
During perimenopause, progesterone declines while estrogen tends to increase throughout the day. The ovaries often make a high amount of estrogen in the early stages of perimenopause due to poor ovarian reserve. Our eggs get older and the ovaries do not function as well.
The further into perimenopause you get, the lower your estrogen levels are until you enter menopause. Once you are in menopause, production is at an all-time low.
Some studies suggest that high estrogen levels encourage the body to hold onto fat. Women with high estrogen levels during their reproductive years often have a higher concentration of fat and weigh more. This fat storage ensures that women have enough fat to support a baby throughout pregnancy and breastfeeding. The fat is stored in the hips and thighs as subcutaneous fat (a thin layer beneath the skin).
During menopause, lower estrogen levels cause fat to be stored in the belly area. This visceral fat can contribute to diabetes, heart disease, and insulin resistance, among other health problems.
Mitochondria rely on healthy fats to function properly. A 2010 study on the way mitochondria process fat suggests that twice as many mitochondria are needed to process visceral fat versus subcutaneous fat. That means your mitochondria are working twice as hard to produce energy. No wonder most people feel run down when estrogen levels drop!
The 4 main reasons your mitochondria are struggling
During perimenopause, I've found that energy issues can being caused by a combination of hormonal and energetic imbalances, toxicity, and nutritional deficiency. I advise my patients address all four of these factors to treat the root cause of fatigue.
1. Hormone imbalance
Your energy relies on hormones. Hormones are the signallers and metabolic regulators that tell your mitochondria how to function efficiently. If your body is not making enough ATP, it could be because of a hormonal-signaling problem. During menopause, hormone fluctuations interfere with the signals to the mitochondria.
The hormones in your body are the communicators telling your mitochondria how much energy they need to make. During menopause, when your hormones are suffering, the signals and communication are effectively shut down and ATP production decreases. Cortisol imbalances aggravate the situation.
Hormone balance starts with a healthy diet. Try to eat a low-sugar, whole food diet to help support health hormone balance.
2. Toxicity and inflammation
Another reason why your mitochondria might be struggling to make enough ATP is excess toxicity. Toxicity interferes with ATP production and causes inflammation throughout the body, which your body has to spend more energy to correct, using up precious resources.
In this day and age, we are exposed to toxins constantly, from pesticides and colorants in the food you eat to contaminants in the water you drink. There are harmful chemicals in our toiletries and home care products, pollutants in the air you breathe, not to mention more serious problems like chronic viruses and stomach bugs.
Picture what would happen if you dumped a barrel of oil in the mailroom at the post office. The mail would be ruined, the mailmen would be panicking, and none of the mail would get sent out. The same thing happens in our body when we are exposed to or ingest toxins from our food, drink, and environment. They interfere with normal processes and prevent our mitochondria from functioning.
Here are some actions to take to help mitigate toxins from getting inside:
- Eating organic and locally-raised produce can help weed out any toxins from your diet. Stick to the outside of the grocery store and stay away from processed foods with lots of unpronounceable ingredients.
- Filter your water to eliminate any potential toxins.
- Finally, eliminate environmental toxins. Opt for natural products free from parabens, phthalates, sodium lauryl sulfate, artificial scents, colors and preservatives.
3. Nutritional deficiencies
Nutrients are the resources that are needed to run the machinery of your body. Your body requires a lot of nutrients to create ATP, but a majority of Americans are nutrient deficient. Without nutrients, the body doesn’t make enough ATP and fatigue is the result.
The reason so many Americans are nutrient-deficient is a combination of modern farming practices and over-processed food. The soil in which our food is grown is nutrient-deficient and the food we eat does not have the nutrient density it had years ago.
Your body needs plenty of resources to do its job well. Healthy sugars, fats, vitamins, and minerals are the resources your mitochondria need to make ATP. Unfortunately, these days you cannot eat enough food to meet your body’s nutrient needs. The sheer volume of food you would have to consume is staggering. Do you really want to eat 10 heads of broccoli each day? (Probably not.)
In my experience, nutritional supplementation is the only way to combat nutrient deficiencies.
Unfortunately, although very popular and inexpensive, a one-a-day tablet is usually not enough. Look for high-quality, multivitamin supplements to ensure that your mitochondria have all the nutrients they need to make ATP.
4. Energetic imbalance
Science has proven that we are energetic beings with an electromagnetic frequency. Whatever you want to call these frequencies- meridians, chakras, prana, qi—your body has an energetic framework on which your physical health relies.
Ancient medicine traditions have acknowledged the connection between the physical and energetic bodies for years. Acupuncture is a time-honored medical practice that treats this energy system and is recognized for many applications by mainstream medicine.
Mitochondria are the powerhouses and electrical resources of our body. So if your electromagnetic frequencies are running low, that means some blockages are preventing your body from creating ATP.
You need to focus on the intangibles to address energetic imbalances including your mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Practices like meditation, grounding, and other mind-body techniques are a great place to start.
You can also eliminate electromagnetic frequencies from your home by turning off your WiFi at night and sleeping with your cell phone in a different room. These can disrupt your own frequencies and rhythms.
Bottom line
Although fatigue may seem common when you hit menopause, the truth is that once you address the causes of the fatigue, there is no reason why you cannot have the same energy at 50 or 80, as you did at 20.
If you find yourself dragging lately, I challenge you to start to address these issues to see how good your energy can be. Once you understand why your body is struggling, you can empower yourself to support your mitochondria, and heal your body as you age.
You deserve to enjoy this time of life.

On Monday, President Joe Biden unveiled his proposal for the next federal budget.
Though Congress has the final say in the annual budget, presidents create a proposal highlighting their fiscal priorities. Then, the president typically spends time advocating for their plan to the public, arguing for those priorities.
While promoting his latest proposal, Biden tweeted, “This year, my administration is on track to cut the deficit by more than $1.3 trillion… that would be the largest one-year reduction in the deficit in U.S. history.”
THE QUESTION
Would a $1.3 trillion reduction in the deficit be the largest single-year reduction ever?
THE SOURCES
THE ANSWER
Yes, if the deficit shrinks by $1.3 trillion this year, that will be the largest single-year reduction in history.
WHAT WE FOUND
Both the Federal Reserve and the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) track how much money the federal government takes in each year, and how much it spends. The Fed has records dating back to 1901, and the CBO dating to 1962.
If the government makes more than it spends, there’s a budget surplus. Since 1962, there have only been five years with a surplus, and none since 2001.
More commonly, the government spends more than it takes in. That’s a deficit, and it results in the U.S. borrowing money to make up the difference, which in turn adds to the federal debt.
According to the Fed and the CBO, the year in which the deficit shrank the most was 2013. In 2012, the budget was nearly $1.08 trillion in the hole, and in 2013, it was just under $679.8 billion. The deficit decreased by roughly $396.8 billion, more than in any other year in history.
If the deficit drops by $1.3 trillion in 2022 like Biden projected, it would indeed be the largest deficit reduction in American history, by a big margin.
The Fed and CBO track numbers on a fiscal-year basis, with the fiscal year ending on Sept. 30. So we won’t really know if Biden’s projections for 2022 are accurate until at least October.
But budget experts VERIFY spoke with agreed it’s likely the deficit reduction could wind up being more than a trillion dollars. However, they said that drop is mostly due to COVID-related spending programs expiring.
“It's not really due to any particularly aggressive policy action to, say, raise more revenue than we would have otherwise, or spend less. It's mostly just a factor of temporary things,” said Alex Muresianu, a federal policy analyst for the Tax Foundation.
“We had deficits that were over $3 trillion [in 2020], and one that was $2.8 trillion [in 2021]. That was as a result of a huge recession, and trillions of dollars that we were spending to fight COVID. So we will be dropping for sure. The deficit will be closer to a trillion dollars this year,” said Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a non-profit group. “But that doesn't come from policies to reduce the deficit.”
More from VERIFY: No, Congress members did not give themselves a 21% pay raise in 2022

Out of the entire Syracuse Orange men's basketball roster this year, Jesse Edwards was by far the most improved player when looking at his Syracuse career before this season. Edwards increased his volume, efficiency, and defensive presence when given an increased opportunity on the floor with forward Marek Dolezaj leaving the Orange at the end of last season.
Season Recap:
With Bourama Sidibe limited when the start of the regular season rolled around, Edwards seized the starting center spot to start the season
Edwards started off his season strong against Layfayette on Nov. 9th, collecting 11 points, two rebounds, one assist and three blocks on 4-4 shooting from the field in only 17 minutes of action. His efficient impactful play on both ends of the floor would only grow as the season went on.
For the remaining six games in November Edwards averaged 12.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 0.8 assists, and 2.6 blocks while shooting 80% from the field (32-40) and 72% from the charity stripe (13-18) while playing an average of 28 minutes per game.
Edwards's numbers dipped a bit in December compared to his hot start the month before, but his rebounding improved. Over five games played he averaged 10.4 points, 8.2 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 1 steal, and 2.4 blocks while shooting 62% from the field (18/29) and 53% from the charity stripe (15-28) in 28.4 minutes per game.
Shortly after the turn of the new year, Edwards turned in his best performance of the season against the University of Miami. Edwards scored a season-high 22 points while collecting eight rebounds, two assists, seven blocks, and two steals, shooting 10-13 from the field and 2-3 from the charity stripe before fouling out after 38 minutes of play.
Edwards had a strong month of January while Syracuse as a team struggled to perform, finishing with a 3-6 record over nine games played. He averaged 12.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 3.3 blocks, and 1.2 steals while shooting 64.2% from the field (43-67).
However, after back-to-back wins against NC State and Louisville, Edwards fractured his wrist 13 minutes into the Feb 8th contest against Boston College, which ended the Netherlands-based big man's season.
After 24 games played during the 2021-22 season, Edwards averaged 12 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.04 assists, 2.8 blocks, and 1.1 steals while shooting 69.5% from the field and 59.8% from the charity stripe.
Next Steps:
Expect Edwards to be one of the main offensive and defensive forces for the Orange next season. He has a nice touch around the rim, is a good rebounder, and terrific shot-blocker. He improved across the board this season, and the same could be expected next season with an even bigger role. In order for Edwards to make an even bigger impact for the Orange next season, he has to stay out of foul trouble. In Edwards 24 games played this year before his injury, he fouled out of 11 contests and finished eight contests with three or four personal fouls. If the Orange have any shot of having a strong season next year, Edwards needs to stay on the floor for a majority of Syracuse’s games while also expanding his offensive repertoire outside of the painted area to throw opposing defenses off.

The second of four downtown hotel proposals ended this week when East Carolina University notified a developer it would not renew efforts to build one near main campus.
The university announced Thursday it notified hotel development and management group Daly Seven of its plan to end the current letter of intention to build a hotel originally set for a groundbreaking in 2021.
The project would have been a ground-lease arrangement for 65 years with one 34-year option to renew; the letter of intent was originally signed in August 2019 with extensions in 2020 and 2021.
“We entered a developer contract with Daly Seven in August 2019 with the hopes of a groundbreaking in 2021,” said Vice Chancellor for Administration and Finance Stephanie Coleman. She met with Daly Seven representatives on Wednesday.
“As we know, COVID-19 changed the landscape in many ways, and we continue to develop the university’s master plan. We feel the time is not right to continue with the planning of this project.”
When ECU and Daly Seven entered their agreement in August 2019, ECU planned to construct a Student One-Stop building with a parking deck near the intended hotel site, in the parking area off Reade Street between Third and Fourth streets. ECU no longer plans to construct a One-Stop building. The hotel would have also been near a proposed performing arts center that remains part of the university’s long-range master plan but is currently unfunded.
This project was intended to be a catalyst toward more revitalization of the urban core of campus and the Uptown District, Coleman said. “Since our announcement in 2019, other hotel projects have been announced for Greenville. Our project would be the last to open based on our research. We’re excited about what the other projects will bring to Greenville.”
It's the second hotel project in the downtown area to be terminated in less than a month. On March 14, the Greenville City Council ended its agreement with Seacoast Communities to building a hotel and apartments on the site of the former Imperial Tobacco processing site off Dickinson Avenue.
Seacoast Communities said the development company couldn't secure an agreement with a hotel brand because another developer, Co-X Properties, had already struck a partnership with Hilton Garden Inn to build a hotel at 419 Evans St. Work started there in late January.
Co-X Properties is owned Paul Adkison and Scott Diggs, ECU alumni who serve on the ECU Foundation and the Miller School of Entrepreneurship Advisory Council.
Co-X Properities announced during a ribbon cutting it would engage ECU students and faculty in aspects of the building construction and finishes. Adkison said student artwork will also be displayed at the hotel.
ECU Chancellor Philip Rogers praised the efforts of Adkison and Diggs during the ribbon cutting ceremony.
"One of the first pieces of conversation we got into was the importance of investing in our local community and having that investor tied directly to East Carolina University," Rogers said in January.
"I am so excited about this effort is coming to life because I said, as soon as I started this role, in order for the university to be successful, in order for the community to be successful, we have to be inextricably linked together in every possible way," he said.
Another group of businessmen announced in December 2020 they would build a 70-room hotel as part of plans to transform a historic tobacco warehouse into a food and lodging destination.
The Stark Group said it intended to rehabilitate the E.B. Ficklen and Star Tobacco warehouse site which borders Eighth, Ninth, Washington and Ficklen Streets as well as some surrounding property.
The developers said the hotel will feature a restaurant, lobby and 10,000-square-foot event space. The adjacent Star Warehouse will host a 76,000-square-foot food hall and market.
An opening was set for the fall of 2022 but work has not begun on the development.

Spanish La Liga: Getafe v Mallorca (Correct Score)
Show HideSaturday 2 April, 1.00pm
Using Expected Goals (xG) data from Infogol, Tom Victor provides predictions as the European chase heats up...
"Barcelona are unstoppable at the moment, particularly in front of goal, and they are taking on Sevilla at an ideal time."
Getafe v Mallorca
Saturday, 13:00
Watch on Betfair Live Video
Mallorca's poor form has seen them turn to Javier Aguirre, but the new boss will be up against it as he begins his tenure against opponents averaging just 0.98 xGA on home soil. Victory for the hosts could leave them a huge six points clear of the drop by the end of the gameweek, and Quique Sánchez Flores should be confident of delivering a huge win in the bid for safety.
BTTS? No
Over/Under 2.5? Under
Correct Score Prediction - Back the 2-0 @ 10.5019/2
Levante v Villarreal
Saturday, 15:15
Watch on Betfair Live Video
Villarreal's away form this season hasn't been the best, despite solid enough underlying numbers, but they should still be fine against bottom of the table Levante. The hosts remain eight points from safety, with a 5-0 defeat in the reverse fixture, and Unai Emery's men can go into their midweek clash with Bayern Munich with three more points on the board.
BTTS? Yes
Over/Under 2.5? Under
Correct Score Prediction - Back the 1-2 @ 9.809/1
Celta Vigo v Real Madrid
Saturday, 17:30
Watch on Betfair Live Video
The manner of Real Madrid's defeat against Barcelona will worry Carlo Ancelotti, with the visitors good value for their four-goal margin of victory, but it's only one game and the league leaders have what it takes to rebound at Balaídos. Celta have been hit and miss at home this season, and Infogol's model backs an away victory which would keep Madrid at least nine points clear,.
BTTS? Yes
Over/Under 2.5? Over
Correct Score Prediction - Back the 1-2 @ 9.6017/2
Atlético Madrid v Alavés
Saturday, 20:00
Watch on Betfair Live Video
Atlético Madrid haven't lost since February 16, and as a result they look set for a top-four finish. Victory over Alavés would keep the run going, and the visitors' 2.17 xGA average away from home will be cause for concern as they travel to the Wanda Metropolitano hoping to avoid defeat away to the champions for the first time since the start of the 2016-17 stadium.
BTTS? No
Over/Under 2.5? Over
Correct Score Prediction - Back the 3-0 @ 9.809/1
Athletic Bilbao v Elche
Sunday, 13:00
Watch on Betfair Live Video
Elche's away xGA average remains the worst in La Liga, and a trip to Bilbao in their first game back from the international break is unlikely to help. Athletic's record at San Mamés is impressive, with a 2.04 xGF average, and three points for the hosts would leave Francisco's side with a little more work to do before they can be sure of another year in La Liga.
BTTS? No
Over/Under 2.5? Over
Correct Score Prediction - Back the 3-0 @ 11.5021/2
Real Betis v Osasuna
Sunday, 15:15
Watch on Betfair Live Video
After dropping more points before the break, Betis have no margin for error when it comes to salvaging their hopes of Champions League qualification. Infogol backs them to turn things around against Osasuna, who have lost their last two with a 2.84 xGA average, and a home win would complete a league double after Betis' away win at El Sadar back in September.
BTTS? Yes
Over/Under 2.5? Under
Correct Score Prediction - Back the 2-1 @ 10.009/1 or 2-0 @ 11.0010/1
Granada v Rayo Vallecano
Sunday, 17:30
Watch on Betfair Live Video
Just four points separate Granada and Rayo, who both sit just above La Liga's relegation places. While the visitors have just one away win this term, the reverse fixture produced a comfortable win for Andoni Iraola's side. Infogol backs the visitors to take the points at Nuevo Los Cárrmenes, and it would be enough to lift them further clear of the relegation places and give them some breathing room.
BTTS? Yes
Over/Under 2.5? Over
Correct Score Prediction - Back the 1-2 @ 12.0011/1
Valencia v Cádiz
Sunday, 17:30
Watch on Betfair Live Video
Valencia have picked up 10 points from their last four games, averaging just 1.02 xGA in the process, and the unbeaten run can stretch to five with a result against Cádiz. The visitors are averaging just 0.99 xGF per game on the road, but pulled out of the bottom three with a victory last time out and will make Pepe Bordalás' hosts work hard for their three points.
BTTS? No
Over/Under 2.5? Under
Correct Score Prediction - Back the 2-0 @ 9.6017/2
Barcelona v Sevilla
Sunday, 20:00
Watch on Betfair Live Video
Barcelona are unstoppable at the moment, particularly in front of goal, and they are taking on Sevilla at an ideal time. The two sides finished all-square when they met at Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán, so three points for the hosts would take them above Julen Lopetegui's team on head-to-head and a home average of 2.35 xGF explains why Infogol makes the hosts favourites to claim the points.
BTTS? No
Over/Under 2.5? Under
Correct Score Prediction - Back the 2-0 @ 7.4013/2
Real Sociedad v Espanyol
Monday, 20:00
Watch on Betfair Live Video
Three clean sheets in the last five games have kept Real Sociedad in European contention, and the six goals they have conceded in 14 games represents the best such record in the entire league. Espanyol came out on top in the reverse fixture, with Yangel Herrera wearing the only goal, but an away average of just 0.98 xGF on the road leaves Vicente Moreno's side at a disadvantage.
BTTS? No
Over/Under 2.5? Under
Correct Score Prediction - Back the 2-0 @ 8.007/1
