What was gone, is now back.
Each half inning of a major league baseball that goes to extra innings this season will begin with a runner on second base.
Baseball will tell you the rule is in place to preserve player health and safety during a condensed schedule. While that might be an ancillary effect, this has more to do with quality of entertainment.
Why is the designated hitter a universal thing? Quality of entertainment.
Why does Major League Baseball want to eliminate the shift? More hits.
Why is baseball limiting mound visits and in favor of a pitch clock? You guessed it.
Baseball is not trying to win over purists. They aren’t going anywhere. Baseball is desperately trying to win over a younger audience, and those who are apathetic toward the game.
As for the extra inning rule: I’m likely in the minority here, but I love it. As a baseball fan, it puts me at the edge of my seat immediately.
Baseball wants you on the edge of your seat. If you’re not, you may not pay for a seat at all. | https://wtmj.com/sports/extra-points/2022/03/31/extra-points-quality-of-entertainment/ | 2022-04-01T01:29:19Z |

Tommy Thompson, just weeks removed from leading the University of Wisconsin System, met with former President Donald Trump on Thursday for a talk about “Wisconsin politics,” a former aide said.
Thompson was elected to four terms as Wisconsin's governor, and earlier this year declined to rule out another bid. Thompson, 80, spent almost two years atop the university system before leaving earlier this month.
Bill McCoshen, a former chief of staff to Thompson when he served as governor, said the two met at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort.
“The primary topic was Wisconsin politics," McCoshen said. “They talked about the gubernatorial race, the Senate race and what it will take to win in Wisconsin. The topic of running for governor may have come up, but the purpose was to talk about Wisonsin politics more broadly.”
A Trump spokesman did not respond to a request for comment.
McCoshen said he expected Thompson to make a decision in April. The primary is in August. Former Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch, businessman Kevin Nicholson and state Rep. Timothy Ramthun are Republicans vying to take on Democratic Gov. Tony Evers.
Thompson was first elected to the Legislature in 1966 and was first elected governor in 1986. He resigned midway through his fourth term to serve as Health and Human Services secretary under then-President George W. Bush, and ran briefly for president in 2008. | https://www.beaumontenterprise.com/news/article/Thompson-and-Trump-meet-to-talk-politics-17049815.php | 2022-04-01T01:29:20Z |

NEW YORK, March 31, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces the filing of a class action lawsuit on behalf of purchasers of the securities of Homology Medicines, Inc. FIXX between June 10, 2019 and February 18, 2022, inclusive (the "Class Period"). A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than May 24, 2022.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Homology securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Homology class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=4851 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than May 24, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the Company had overstated the efficacy and risk mitigation regarding HMI-102, which is in Phase I/II pheNIX clinical trial and a gene therapy for the treatment of phenylketonuria (PKU) in adults; (2) accordingly, it was unlikely that the Company would be able to commercialize HMI-102 in its present form; and (3) as a result, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Homology class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=4851 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

LEBANON, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania police officer was killed and two others injured Thursday during a shooting that occurred while responding to a domestic disturbance call, Lebanon Mayor Sherry Capello said.
Police officers went to a home in the city at about 3:30 p.m. for the disturbance call. Nearly an hour later gunfire broke out and officers radioed in they were hit, Capello said at a brief news conference.
All three officers were taken to hospitals. One of them has been pronounced dead. A second was in critical condition, but stable, and a third was in stable condition, Capello said.
“This is an extremely difficult moment for everyone,” Capello said.
The suspect, a 34-year-old man from Lebanon, was killed in the shooting, Lebanon Police Chief Todd Breiner said.
“As one can imagine, it's clearly a traumatic event,” Breiner said. “Our guys are strong, but we're human and we have families.”
The slain officer's name is being withheld pending notification of extended family members.

Local officials held a virtual town hall meeting recently to discuss the area’s homeless problem and how to fix it.
“In 2014, I was appointed as the homeless liaison for our department. During that time, I’ve seen our homeless population steadily rise on our city streets, public parks, and other public areas throughout the city.” said Sgt. Chris Peart, a 17-year Brentwood police veteran, at the March 16 meeting. “It started with roughly two to three individuals, to where we currently sit and fluctuate between 35-40 individuals out on the street.”
Local and state laws prohibit people from living in a building owned by someone else without their permission. But laws have changed to benefit unsheltered people. In 2018, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit made a landmark ruling in Martin vs. Boise: cities such as Brentwood cannot enforce anti-camping ordinances if they do not have enough shelter beds for homeless people, according to Wikipedia. The decision was based on the Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution’s prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment. The case was brought to the U.S. Supreme Court in 2019, but justices declined to hear the appeal, which left the precedent intact for the nine Western states, including California, that fall under the jurisdiction of the Ninth Circuit. The ruling does still allow for citations or arrests of individuals who are offered shelter placement, but refuse to go.
“Our end goal is to connect with our homeless population and connect them with services” such as Coordinated Outreach Referral Engagement (CORE), which offers services and resources, said Peart.
While city and county officials want to manage the problem, they appear to not agree on how to do so.
“We still need more, and we need to think about where prevention fits into this and where those resources are going,” said Lavonna Martin, Contra Costa Deputy Health Services Director. “We’re already behind when we’re talking about waiting for the crisis response system to solve the problem.”
Brentwood Police Chief Tom Hansen said he wants to see compassionate care, but would like to see a more multifaceted approach – one that involves clinicians, doctors, judges, public defenders, and county health officials – to help unhoused individuals who are unable to help themselves because of substance abuse or mental health issues. Hansen said there is no current model that works.
According to the last Contra Costa Annual Point in Time report from January, 2020, there were 80 unsheltered adults in Brentwood. Of those, Brentwood police have the most contact with 37, and 35 of them have alcohol and illegal drug problems, according to Peart.
“Three or four years ago, I came to Brentwood, asking for a resolution declaring a shelter crisis,” Contra Costa Supervisor Diane Burgis said. “There was nothing that came with that except helping us get the funding, so we could build a shelter, because we didn’t have the money to build the shelter in East County. I couldn’t get the Brentwood City Council to approve that.”
Hansen disagrees with that push, saying that it would’ve been only “one-time money” without the permanent budget to continue services for substance abuse and mental health. Before money is put into building shelters, Hansen said he would like to see programs that deal with the root causes of why people lose their homes and end up on the streets.
“I’m telling you that 90 percent of my homeless population is addicted to methamphetamines right now,” said Hansen. “I can tell you that [CORE] is awesome at providing services for people that want the service.”
Lisa Thomas, who is a CORE Outreach Coordinator said, CORE. works closely with Brentwood police to create rapport with the homeless population and try to convince them to go into shelter or detoxification, and to provide mental health services for them. Thomas said CORE tries “to get them to trust us a lot more, to get them to agree to go to detox. Sometimes they go to detox. Sometimes they leave, but we continue to offer our services, because sooner or later, there’s going to be a ‘yes.’”
After officials had mentioned several times throughout the meeting that more representation was necessary – from city council, to the county, to the statehouse – Brentwood resident Carolina Villaseca had a question regarding whom to contact at each level to get the process started.
“Who do we go to in Sacramento to get the programs funded that we need?” Villaseca asked. “It seems like we have to do a lot of talking with a lot of different politicians, which is fine…We need to have a plan to make sure that when we go we can be succinct and effective, and say this is what we need, this is the funding it’s going to take. How do we get that?”
Burgis recommended starting with Brentwood City Council and to have a plan that shows what is being done with the money before contacting state and federal officials to make a case for the funding.
Another Brentwood resident expressed frustration that there is no plan or common vision that residents can get behind to advance it past mere conversations among officials.
“It’s a multi-pronged, wildly complicated problem,” Rod [last name withheld] said. “Until we have public officials that can work together, can come to a common vision, can come up with something that the public can understand and get behind, you’re going to keep having that problem.”
Hansen assured all attendees that all city and county officials have formed a working relationship with each other and the unhoused population.
“People want to know how things get solved,” Burgis said. “... people don’t realize, you know, the police can’t say ‘You need to go into a mental hospital.’ They can’t say ‘Go into rehab.’ They can’t just say ‘Move along.’ They have constraints. The county can’t do certain things either. I like that this is kinda messy and isn’t necessarily giving people the solution. It’s because we are human beings trying to solve this problem.”

SILVER CREEK, N.Y. (WIVB) – Children from kindergarten to second grade were locked in what’s been described as an “isolation room” at an elementary school outside Buffalo, New York, a district administrator wrote in a letter to the school board earlier this week.
The letter states that at least five students at Silver Creek Elementary School, including a kindergartner, have been “inhumanely and illegally locked or barricaded in an isolation cell.”
“I have been fighting all year to keep children out of the isolation cell,” wrote Jay Hall, the assistant director of elementary programming on Monday.
Hall described the room as a “cold, cinder block jail-like cell,” and said, “It should never, even for one second, be used in any capacity to redirect or punish any child at any time.”
“Children as young as 5 years old are being blockaded and locked in the isolation cell, kicking the door, pounding on glass with their fists, banging their heads, crying profusely, pleading to be freed, all with complicit staff members standing by and watching,” Hall said.
Parents got wind of the letter and started posting complaints on Facebook this week. “You better pray we never find out that our son has ever been put in one of these so called cells!!” wrote one parent.
On Wednesday, the school district issued a statement, saying in part:
“The District is aware that this morning there were concerns raised on social media pertaining to our Elementary School. The District’s most important priority is the safety and security of all District students and staff. We take any concerns and allegations regarding student safety and their wellbeing as the top priority.”
The district said a law firm, which also acts as counsel for the school board, is investigating the allegations. Superintendent Todd A. Crandall said he hopes to have a report by the end of the week.
Kerry Vasquezmarte, a district parent, said the concerns aren’t new. She said her special-needs daughter was locked in a room several times as a pre-K student at the elementary school. She said a classmate witnessed her daughter being dragged by her arms through a hallway.
Vasquezmarte said her daughter cried when she confronted her about the incident and still has nightmares. She said she met with a teacher and Superintendent Crandall over a year ago to discuss the isolation techniques.
“And all he did was blame my child during the meeting,” Vasquezmarte said. “And I said numerous times to get my child, I was taking her home, she’s not being locked in a room. It took me threatening him for him to finally radio down to wherever to retrieve my kid.”
Vasquezmarte said she eventually pulled her child out of pre-K and homeschooled her during the kindergarten year. Her daughter is back at the elementary school for first grade with a “fantastic” teacher, Vasquezmarte said.
“I was only made aware of any concern on Friday, March 18,” Crandall said. “I can’t comment on something from years ago.”
Crandall said the law firm had an attorney on site Wednesday to conduct interviews. The attorney was also on school district property Thursday.
“We are not about hiding anything or trying to cover up anything,” Crandall said. “Student and staff safety is paramount, and we look forward to hearing the results so that if need be we can address any protocol or procedures as needed.”
The New York State Department of Education says it could not confirm or deny that the state was looking into these claims. The Chautauqua County Sheriff’s Office said it is not investigating the claims at the school because no one has made a formal complaint. | https://www.news10.com/news/erie-county/elementary-students-locked-in-isolation-room-as-discipline-administrator-says/ | 2022-04-01T01:29:25Z |

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — A $64.1 billion supplemental state budget that spends on statewide programs ranging from homelessness and behavioral health to the ongoing COVID-19 response was signed Thursday by Washington Gov. Jay Inslee.
The supplemental plan builds off of the $59 billion, two-year spending plan adopted by the Legislature last year, and benefited from the significant influx of revenues the state has seen over the past year. Additionally, lawmakers used more than $1 billion in remaining pandemic-related federal relief funds in the budget.
More than $800 million is allocated for homelessness and housing, including $50 million to transition unhoused people from unsanctioned camps to housing.
Inslee specifically called out the efforts on addressing homelessness, saying that lawmakers “gave us relief that is big, that is bold, and that is fast.”
While there are no general tax increases in the plan, there are also no across-the-board tax cuts, something Republicans had argued for throughout the legislative session that ended March 10.
“It’s been easy to explain to my constituents why Republicans opposed this budget – all I have to do is point to how the costs of living have continued to rise in the weeks since it was adopted, and the huge revenue surplus the Democrats had available,“ Republican Sen. Lynda Wilson said in a statement.
A small business tax credit was included that would affect about 125,000 small businesses in the state, and was among the bills signed by Inslee Thursday.
Starting in January, businesses making less than $125,000 a year would pay no state business taxes, and those making up to $250,000 a year, business taxes will be cut in half.
The supplemental operating budget also spends state or federal money on things like adding more social supports like nurses and counselors for students, increasing rates to vendors providing services to people with developmental disabilities or long-term care needs and shoring up the state’s paid family leave program, which officials warned was nearing a deficit.
It also allots funding for raises for state workers. According to the Office of Financial Management, about 63,800 general government employees will get a 3.25% general wage increase, about 6,700 state corrections workers will get a 4% general wage increase and about 1,200 state patrol officers will get a 10% general wage increase. The last general wage increase for represented employees was July 1, 2020.
The operating budget also transfers more than $2 billion to the nearly $17 billion, 16-year transportation revenue package that Inslee signed last week. The plan leaves about $3 billion in total reserves.
Inslee had several full or partial vetoes of bills, including a section of a bill that would have expanded the state’s existing warehouse sales and use tax to include smaller warehouses of at least 100,000 square feet. In his veto notice, Inslee said that while he understood the importance of manufacturing and warehousing to rural economies, he said the tax incentives in the bill were overly broad.
Inslee on Thursday also signed a $1.5 billion state construction budget that spends on areas ranging from housing, homelessness, behavioral health facilities, and seismic upgrades at public schools. | https://www.beaumontenterprise.com/news/article/Washington-governor-signs-64-1-billion-17049827.php | 2022-04-01T01:29:26Z |

An early morning fire that broke out at the Applebee’s on Hillcrest Avenue is being investigated by the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (Con Fire) as a possible case of arson.
The discovery of a gas container full of a flammable liquid near a broken window prompted officials to suspect arson as the fire’s cause, according to Steve Hill, a public information officer for Con Fire. Investigators are “scouring the area” in an attempt to gather surveillance on the incident, Hill said.
Firefighters arrived at the scene of the fire just before 4:30 a.m. to find the restaurant filled with smoke, but no flames, according to a social media post by the department. The restaurant’s sprinkler system extinguished the flame, limiting fire damage to the “booth area,” according to Hill. However, there was “extensive” smoke and water damage to the rest of the restaurant.
Further details were not made available due to the ongoing nature of the investigation. Officials have encouraged anyone with potential information regarding the case to call the arson tip line at 866-502-7766.

Tony Hawk doesn't plan to ever stop skateboarding. ET's Kevin Frazier spoke with the 53-year-old athlete at the premiere of Tony Hawk: Until the Wheels Fall Off, the documentary about his life and career, and Hawk said he's feeling "pretty good" three weeks after breaking his femur.
While the injury may lessen the public skateboarding Hawk does, it won't stop him from doing it altogether.
"If I’m able to stand on my own two feet then I want to ride a skateboard," Hawk, who used a cane at the premiere, said. "I might not be doing it in public so much going down the line. If I feel like my skills are truly fading then I won’t be doing it on a public level or at an exhibition mode, but I don’t make ultimatums."
"I’m 53. I truly felt like, before I broke my leg, I was skating almost better than ever or better than I have in the last 10 years," he added. "I want to get back to at least some form of that same level of skating."
That answer is no surprise to Sam Jones, the director of the HBO documentary.
"His brother said he's probably going to be the first 80-year-old to do a backside air, and I I completely believe it," Jones told ET. "He just loves it so much."
After putting his trust in Jones, a former skateboarder, to helm the doc, Hawk is more than pleased with the result.
"It's to show the reality of what it takes to do this through the years, the hardships that it requires and the sacrifices you have to make in a lot of ways, personally and professionally," Hawk explained. "People don’t understand [that] you don’t just get on a skateboard and you’re naturally gifted and then all the success falls on you. You've got to work your a** off. You've got to be willing to take the hits and get back up."
The doc is a culmination of Hawk's success, and a way for the athlete to shine a light on all the aspects of the sport.
"I’m honored, but it’s a big responsibility. I do feel I feel like I need to be mindful of that and I need to represent it well. It’s something that I’ve kind of taken upon myself," Hawk said of using his influence for good. "If people are going to put that on me, then I want to represent skateboarding authentically and show all sides of it, not just the glitz and the X Games and things like that, but the grit, and what it takes, and also the diversity. That’s something that’s overlooked too. If you go to a skate park now, it’s a melting pot of race, of gender, everyone’s down, everyone’s supporting each other. I don’t think there is any other sport like that."
Through the making of the doc, Hawk said he learned that "it's OK to be vulnerable." It's a message he wishes he could relay to his younger self.
"I think I would try to encourage myself to figure out my personal issues earlier rather than later, figure out how to deal with being uncomfortable, how to deal with lack of intimacy, the bigger picture stuff instead of hyper focusing on skating and letting that somehow solve all my problems," he said.
In addition to skateboarding, the doc focuses on Hawk's private and family lives, something that Jones thinks will be eye-opening to audiences.
"I think they'll be surprised at how conscientious he is about taking care of his family, and being a good father, and the way he wants everybody to have the experience that he's had with skateboarding," Jones told ET of Hawk, who's a dad of four. "He really cares about skateboarding having this long life after he's done skating. You really, really see it in the way he treats his family and other skaters."
Tony Hawk: Until the Wheels Fall Off will premiere April 5 on HBO and HBO Max.

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

Short Film Chronicles the Quinceañera Dream of One Woman
NEW YORK, March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Marking International Transgender Day of Visibility, Pantene today released a documentary-style short film chronicling the Quinceañera of a transgender woman, Isa, denied one as a teenager. Longtime agency Grey New York created the campaign.
Against great odds (see stats), from job discrimination to systemic violence, transgender women have made significant progress in Latin America, holding elective office and as business leaders.
People begin understanding their gender identity as early as three years old. But many transgender people don't know or share this about their gender until later in life due to safety and issues of cultural acceptance.
"It doesn't matter when or at what age someone knows who they are, whether at 15 or 44. Whenever they feel comfortable being themselves and sharing that truth is a moment to celebrate," said Martina Brubacher, Director of Communications for Pantene for Latin America, "As a brand, we know the power of hair and how it can be a statement for expressing one's true self, so it's important for us to feature stories like Isa's, a transgender woman who celebrates her journey."
The Quinceañera is a dream come true for many Latina girls as they turn fifteen. But this rite of passage to womanhood, celebrated by family and community, has often excluded transgender women from this cultural milestone.
Pantene has partnered with Isa, a transgender woman in her forties, to give her the Quinceañera she never had. The film tells her poignant story and follows her preparations leading up to and including the day with her friends and family. (Link to the film)
"For all the times I had to hide my identity and deny my existence - today I say, I am here. I am Isa," said Isa
The integrated digitally-led campaign includes online video, social media, influencers, and public relations. The brand once again worked with GLAAD, which accelerates the acceptance and inclusion of LGBTQIA+ people by sharing stories and accessing all forms of media to uplift members of the community.
"The team chose to launch this film on International Day of Trans Visibility – to inspire every young transgender person. Anything is possible; happiness and acceptance is something everyone deserves," said Javier Bonilla, Executive Creative Director at Grey.
Please see statistics on the challenges transgender people face:
- Since Statista started collecting data, 2021 is the year with the highest number of deaths of transgender and gender-diverse people, with 375 murders recorded between October 1, 2020, and September 30, 2021. Most of the murders took place in Brazil (125), Mexico (65), Honduras (53), and the United States (53).
- According to the data reported by Sin Violencia LGBTI, between the years 2014 and 2020, 1403 people from the LGBTI community were murdered for reasons related to prejudice against their sexual orientation or gender identity.
- 94% of the transgender population In Brazil reports suffering some form of violence motivated by discrimination due to their gender identity
- 175 transgender people were murdered in Brazil in 2020, 41% more than in 2019 (the country leads the ranking of murders of trans people in the world)

A long-proposed major roadway project a decade in the making in Brentwood and Antioch is closer to becoming a reality.
The proposed extension on Sand Creek Road will provide much-needed traffic relief in the region, officials say.
The major east-west thoroughfare linking southeast Antioch with central Brentwood, is set to undergo construction to extend its current terminus in Brentwood just west of its interchange with Highway 4 to a new intersection at Heidorn Ranch Road in southeast Antioch.
With an estimated cost of $14.5 million, this phase of the project is fully funded and is expected to start in early 2023 and be completed by the end of 2023, Brentwood officials said.
“This project is part of a regional effort to improve the transportation network in East Contra Costa County and will specifically benefit Brentwood by providing a quicker connection to (Kaiser Permanente-Antioch),” said Brentwood Assistant Director of Public Works Jagtar Dhaliwal. “It will benefit the circulation in the region in various ways.”
Sand Creek Road runs from just east of Garin Parkway to its terminus just west of its interchange with Highway 4.
Motorists traveling westbound on Sand Creek Road at Highway 4 will notice the street abruptly hits a dead end, with a section visible from the Sand Creek Road off-ramp from eastbound Highway 4 where a future right-turn lane will exist, along with where the future extended roadway will start. For years, much of the proposed right-of-way for the future Sand Creek Road has been sitting on swaths of undeveloped land and open fields along the southern boundaries of Antioch. That changed recently when housing development projects, such as the Creekside Vineyards at Sand Creek Project, called for the addition of 220 planned new homes to the area, necessitating a need for road improvements.
“The City (of Brentwood) is currently working on designing the Brentwood phase, consisting of two lanes, one eastbound and one westbound,” said Dhaliwal. “If the Bridle Gate development project is approved, they will be responsible for completing the remaining two lanes.”
Bridle Gate is a proposed project of 286 single-family homes that includes two public parks on a 135.31-acre site, according to the city’s website.
Ultimately, the Sand Creek Road project is part of a much larger project to extend it from Brentwood to Deer Valley Road in Antioch, adjacent to the Kaiser Permanente Campus. There have long been plans to connect the two sections, but the completion of this connection was contingent on development in the area. Considerable growth and development in the cities of Antioch and Brentwood have led to increasing traffic and gridlock on other roadways, necessitating relief, officials said.
“It’s been part of our general plan for a long time, but it has always been tied to development,” said Antioch Public Works Director and City Engineer John Samuelson. “So it was just a matter of development to start building.”
According to Samuelson, the extension will be completed in phases, with a phase of the project consisting of the section from Highway 4 to Heidorn Ranch Road in Brentwood and the next phase from Heidorn Ranch Road to Hillcrest Avenue. The section from Heidorn Ranch Road to Hillcrest Avenue is already under construction, with underground utility work nearing completion and the road being prepared for paving, with an estimated completion time of a few months.
The third phase is from Hillcrest Avenue to Dozier-Libbey Medical High School in Antioch. This section could be completed this year, due to the roadway already being paved and awaiting a local developer to finalize details for the roadway.
The final phase to Deer Valley Road is in the process of having necessary right-of-way obtained by the development company, after which the design process will begin. All in all, the entire project from Highway 4 to Deer Valley Road is estimated to cost $34.9 million.
“With the Heidorn Ranch Road to Hillcrest Avenue phase, it’s finally triggered the conditions to build that section so they could build more homes,” said Samuelson. “That’s the driving force for these improvements.”
The long-awaited completion of Sand Creek Road will alleviate traffic concerns on surrounding streets such as Lone Tree Way, Balfour Road and Deer Valley Road, providing another crucial link between Brentwood and Antioch, officials said.
“The completion of the Sand Creek extension will enable the City of Brentwood to prepare essential infrastructure necessary to attract corporations and businesses that desire to locate to Brentwood,” said Brentwood Mayor Joel Bryant. “It sets the stage for completion of the Innovation Center and the arrival of high-quality, high-paying jobs that will vastly improve our residents’ quality of life by mostly eliminating a terrible commute for many.” | https://www.thepress.net/news/thoroughfare-linking-southeast-antioch-with-central-brentwood-in-the-works/article_dea417e2-b115-11ec-97d6-b7a7681ff1f6.html | 2022-04-01T01:29:35Z |

HARTFORD, Conn. — Infowars host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has agreed to appear at a deposition in Connecticut to answer questions in a lawsuit by relatives of some of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims, his lawyers said Thursday, a day after a judge ordered fines against Jones for defying orders to attend a deposition last week despite his claim of illness.
Jones will sit for a deposition April 11 and is asking the judge to put a hold on the daily fines, according to new court filings by his attorney, Norman Pattis. The fines begin at $25,000 on Friday and increase by $25,000 each weekday he does not appear for questioning.
Pattis also asked the Connecticut Supreme Court on Thursday to hear an appeal against the fines. There were no immediately rulings on Jones' requests.
Lawyers for the Sandy Hook families, who are suing Jones for defamation for calling the 2012 school shooting a hoax, had no immediate comment. Twenty first graders and six educators were killed in the massacre in Newtown, Connecticut.
Connecticut Judge Barbara Bellis found the Austin, Texas, resident liable for damages to the families in November. A trial on how much he should pay them is set for later this year.
Earlier this week, Jones offered to pay $120,000 per plaintiff to resolve the lawsuit, according to court filings. The offer was quickly rejected by the families. Lawyers for the families said in court filings that it was a “transparent and desperate attempt by Alex Jones to escape a public reckoning under oath with his deceitful, profit-driven campaign against the plaintiffs and the memory of their loved ones lost at Sandy Hook.” | https://www.wgrz.com/article/news/nation-world/alex-jones-sandy-hook-case-deposition/507-92c6b799-e234-4349-87a5-c394295c65fb | 2022-04-01T01:29:37Z |

HOUSTON, March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Ruby Pipeline, L.L.C. (Ruby), a natural gas pipeline joint venture between Kinder Morgan, Inc. (NYSE: KMI) and Pembina Pipeline Corporation (NYSE: PBA) that extends from Wyoming to Oregon, filed to reorganize under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in response to an upcoming debt repayment obligation. In recent months, the joint venture owners have been working diligently with Ruby's bondholders in an effort to work out a mutually satisfactory resolution.

KMI will continue to operate the pipeline as chapter 11 permits daily operations to continue. Ruby's customers should notice no difference in its operations.
We will continue to keep Ruby's customers and other stakeholders informed of developments relating to Ruby's reorganization process. The voluntary petition was filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware in Wilmington. The case number is 22-10278.

PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey refused to say Thursday if transgender people actually exist, twice dodging direct questions on the subject just a day after he signed legislation limiting transgender rights.
The Republican worked instead to defend his signatures on bills that bar transgender girls and women from playing on girls high school and women's college sports teams and barring gender affirming surgery for anyone under age 18.
When specifically asked if he believed that there “are really transgender people,” the governor paused for several seconds before answering.
“I’m going to ask you to read the legislation and to see that the legislation that we passed was in the spirit of fairness to protect girls sports in competitive situations,” Ducey said, referring to the new law that targets transgender girls who want to play on girls sports teams. “That’s what the legislation is intended to do, and that’s what it does.”
Asked again if he believed there are “actual transgender people,” he again answered slowly and carefully.
“I ... am going to respect everyone, and I’m going to respect everyone’s rights. And I’m going to protect female sports. And that’s what the legislation does,” Ducey said.
Ducey's response was “appalling,” according to the Arizona director of the Human Rights Campaign, a national civil rights group that advocates for equality for LGBTQ people. The organization worked to ensure families and transgender young people came to the Capitol to testify against the bills as the Republican-led House and Senate considered them this session.
“It's quite shocking that he can't even address trans people or even say that he thinks they exist,” Bridget Sharpe said.
Wednesday's signing of the two transgender bills and a third that bars abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy and is currently unconstitutional put Ducey right in the middle of two top issues national Republicans are highlighting in the runup to November's midterm elections.
Ducey also signed election legislation that minority Democrats said amounted to voter suppression by requiring longtime Arizonans to be thrown off the voter rolls if they did not prove their citizenship and residence location.
The governor leads the Republican Governors Association, which is charged with helping elect GOP chief executives in U.S. states. He in is the last year of his second term as Arizona governor and term limits bar him from seeking reelection.
The top Democrat in the state House, Rep. Reginald Bolding, called Wednesday “probably one of the darkest days we've seen in the history of Arizona."
“With the stroke of a pen, Gov. Ducey has hurled Arizona backwards to its ugliest past,” Bolding said Wednesday. “And today, he put in jeopardy pregnant people, transgender youth in danger and curtailed voting rights for people of color.”
Social conservative groups and the Arizona Republican Party praised Ducey's action. The Center for Arizona Policy, whose president shepherded the abortion and women's sports bills through the Legislature, called it a victory.
"Thank you, Governor Ducey, for taking a bold stand for women athletes, vulnerable children, and the unborn by putting your signature on (the bills) in the face of intense opposition from activists," Center for Arizona Policy president Cathi Herrod said in a news release she posted on Twitter.
She said the legislation protects the unborn, ensures a level playing field for female athletes and shows that “Arizona will do everything it can to protect vulnerable children struggling with gender confusion” by enacting the surgery ban.
Ducey said the surgery ban protects children from irreversible decisions.
“These are permanent surgeries of reassignment that are irreversible, and those discussions can happen once adulthood is reached,” he said.
The American Civil Liberties Association has vowed to sue over the surgery ban. U.S. Supreme Court precedent currently says women have a constitutional right to abortion until about 24 weeks of pregnancy, although it is considering whether to uphold a 15-week ban enacted in Mississippi and may overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision enshrining a woman's right to choose.
Arizona joins 13 other states in enacting laws preventing transgender girls and women from playing on girls teams. Utah Gov. Spencer Cox vetoed a transgender sports ban in his state, saying it would harm transgender girls, but the Legislature overrode the veto. Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb also vetoed a sports bill, but lawmakers hope to override his action as well. | https://www.myplainview.com/news/article/Arizona-governor-won-t-say-transgender-people-17049806.php | 2022-04-01T01:29:41Z |

PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey refused to say Thursday if transgender people actually exist, twice dodging direct questions on the subject just a day after he signed legislation limiting transgender rights.
The Republican worked instead to defend his signatures on bills that bar transgender girls and women from playing on girls high school and women's college sports teams and barring gender affirming surgery for anyone under age 18.
When specifically asked if he believed that there “are really transgender people,” the governor paused for several seconds before answering.
“I’m going to ask you to read the legislation and to see that the legislation that we passed was in the spirit of fairness to protect girls sports in competitive situations,” Ducey said, referring to the new law that targets transgender girls who want to play on girls sports teams. “That’s what the legislation is intended to do, and that’s what it does.”
Asked again if he believed there are “actual transgender people,” he again answered slowly and carefully.
“I ... am going to respect everyone, and I’m going to respect everyone’s rights. And I’m going to protect female sports. And that’s what the legislation does,” Ducey said.
Ducey's response was “appalling,” according to the Arizona director of the Human Rights Campaign, a national civil rights group that advocates for equality for LGBTQ people. The organization worked to ensure families and transgender young people came to the Capitol to testify against the bills as the Republican-led House and Senate considered them this session.

ALBANY, N.Y. — A lower-court judge declared New York’s new congressional and legislative district maps unconstitutional Thursday and ordered the legislature to quickly redraw them, a process that could delay the state’s fast-approaching party primaries.
Judge Patrick McAllister said in his surprise ruling that the districts were illegally gerrymandered to benefit Democrats.
The state trial court judge, a Republican, gave lawmakers only until April 11 to try again. If the Democrat-controlled legislature can’t come up with “bipartisanly supported” maps fast the judge said he would hire his own expert to redraw them, at state expense.
Legislative leaders said they would appeal the ruling and expressed confidence that a higher court would let the election proceed with the maps in place.
“This is one step in the process. We always knew this case would be decided by the appellate courts. We are appealing this decision and expect this decision will be stayed as the appeal process proceeds,” said Mike Murphy, spokesman for the Senate Democrats.
In a joint statement, Gov. Kathy Hochul and state Attorney General Letitia James said they intend to appeal.
The state’s primary elections are scheduled June 28 and candidates have already begun campaigning in the new districts.
McAllister acknowledged in his opinion that trying to redraw the maps now could upend the election cycle. But he proposed that the state could delay its primaries to as late as Aug. 23 without disrupting the general election.
He said the Republicans who challenged the map had proven “beyond a reasonable doubt that the map was enacted with political bias.”
The maps, drafted by lawmakers and approved by Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul, ensured that Democrats made up a strong majority of registered voters in 22 of the 26 congressional districts the state will have for a decade.
“The enacted congressional map shows virtually zero competitive districts,” McAllister wrote.
Republicans currently hold eight of New York’s 27 seats in Congress.
The judge, who sits in a rural, central New York county in one of the state’s more conservative bastions, acknowledged in his order Thursday that his ruling was unlikely to be the last word on the matter.
An appeal could send the case to a mid-level state appeals court or New York’s Court of Appeals, who could set the judge’s decision aside. All seven members of that high court were appointed by Democrats.
Republicans had argued in a lawsuit that the maps were unconstitutionally gerrymandered to benefit Democrats and marginalize GOP voters.
Former GOP U.S. Rep. John Faso, a spokesperson for the plaintiffs, said Democrats “joyfully” violated a prohibition on partisan gerrymandering.
“This is a victory for the people of the state and it’s a victory for competitive and fair elections in New York State,” Faso said.
Legislative and congressional boundaries are being redrawn as part of the once-per-decade redistricting process kicked off by the 2020 Census.
In early March, McAllister said at a hearing that he didn’t think there was enough time to redraw the maps before the June primary. But the judge said he would issue a decision by April 4 about whether to uphold or strike down the maps.
The legal challenge in New York is among a series of disputes over redistricting playing out in states around the country. | https://www.wgrz.com/article/news/politics/judge-rejects-new-york-redistricting-plan-orders-new-maps/71-2b3a1b48-dd8c-4e9f-b4de-5e1dcbbe519c | 2022-04-01T01:29:43Z |

Sita Mcintosh Appointed Chair Of Kiln Theatre
Also joining Kiln Theatre as a new Trustee is Louis Charalambous.
Kiln Theatre today announces the appointment of Sita McIntosh as Chair. McIntosh was a previous Trustee of Kiln Theatre and will be joining the current Board of Directors: Moyra McGarth Brown, Nicholas Basden, Dominic Cooke CBE, Karen Napier, Shrina Shah and Christopher Yu. Also joining Kiln Theatre as a new Trustee is Louis Charalambous.
Sita McIntosh said today "I'm thrilled to have been appointed chair of the board at Kiln, it's a huge honour and privilege. My affection for the building goes back more than three decades when I used to watch shows there by The Market Theatre of Johannesburg, Black Theatre Co-Operative and Talawa Theatre Company amongst others. It has always paved the way for diversity and inclusion and under the direction of Indhu and Daisy I look forward to leading the board as it continues to do so."
Artistic Director Indhu Rubasingham added, "Sita has always been a brilliant Trustee and avid supporter of the organisation, and takes over as Chair at a crucial and exhilarating time, following the reopening season post-pandemic. She has an extraordinary wealth of knowledge, a commercial mind and great experience. All this and her enthusiasm will help us move into the next chapter of this theatre, securing its future, whilst allowing us to push boundaries and take risks. I'm also thrilled that Louis Charalambous has also joined the board, bringing a unique set of skills and experience which will be hugely beneficial to the organisation."
Louis Charalambous commented that "becoming a trustee of Kiln Theatre is a special privilege and I hope to contribute to its ever-increasing success."
Sita McIntosh recently stepped down as COO of the UK's leading theatre website, WhatsOnStage after seven and a half years to set herself up as a freelance consultant specialising in audience development and diversification. She is currently working with Sonia Friedman Productions on the Aaron Sorkin adaptation of To Kill a Mockingbird at the Gielgud Theatre. Previously she has worked at Ticketmaster and See Tickets heading up their respective Theatre and Arts Divisions.
In addition, she has just completed two terms as Chair of the Board of Trustees for Tonic Theatre where she initiated the Tonic Awards in 2017 to recognise and celebrate the achievements of women in theatre. She also sits on the boards of Curve Theatre in Leicester and HOME in Manchester.
Louis Charalambous is a leading media lawyer at Simons Muirhead Burton in Soho. He has been involved with many of the most high-profile libel, privacy and journalist rights' cases in the last few years. He is also an aspiring author and, through Speakers for Schools, gives regular talks to state school students.
His interest in theatre goes back to his teenage years when he was a member of Theatro Technis in King's Cross, a Cypriot community theatre company, acting in two productions. He is interested in helping increase access to the theatre among the many ethnic communities in Brent. | https://www.broadwayworld.com/uk-regional/article/Sita-Mcintosh-Appointed-Chair-Of-Kiln-Theatre-20220331 | 2022-04-01T01:29:45Z |

NEW YORK, March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- S&P Dow Jones Indices ("S&P DJI"), a leading provider of financial market indices, and MSCI Inc. (MSCI), a leading provider of research-based indices and analytics, have conducted their annual review of the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS®) structure.
The annual GICS methodology review is intended to ensure that the GICS structure continues to appropriately represent the global equity markets and, thereby, enable asset owners, asset managers and investment research specialists to make consistent global comparisons by industry. The GICS structure revision is the result of a consultation with market participants.
Based on the consultation feedback received, S&P DJI and MSCI have concluded that the proposed changes related to the reclassification of renewable energy companies and the consolidation of Diversified Banks and Regional Banks will not be implemented due to lack of market consensus. All other changes proposed in the consultation will be implemented.
The changes to the GICS structure will be implemented in GICS Direct and S&P DJI's indices after the close of business (ET) on Friday, March 17, 2023. A select list of large market capitalization companies affected by the changes will be announced no later than June 30, 2022. The full list of companies affected by these changes will be made available to clients no later than December 15, 2022. MSCI will consult with clients regarding implementation in their indexes.
The results of the consultation and changes to the GICS structure in 2023 are summarized below.
CLASSIFICATION OF RETAILERS
The retail landscape has evolved over the years as retailers are opting to pursue an omni-channel approach to sell their products rather than sticking with mainly brick-and-mortar retail or purely online channels. The demarcation between General Merchandise Stores and Department Stores has diminished as well, since both formats are comprised of retail spaces primarily selling consumer discretionary goods. Retailers that are generating a majority of revenue or earnings from consumable staple items such as food, household, and personal care products warrant a consolidation under the Consumer Staples Sector.
Market feedback concerning the proposals for retailers was generally favorable. S&P DJI and MSCI will discontinue Internet & Direct Marketing Retail and classify companies according to the nature of goods sold, merge General Merchandise Stores and Department Stores into a new Sub-Industry called Broadline Retail, shift consumable merchandise sellers to the Consumer Staples Sector, and update the GICS nomenclature for select Retail classifications by replacing the word "Stores" with "Retail".
CLASSIFICATION OF DATA PROCESSING & OUTSOURCED SERVICES
Companies classified as Data Processing & Outsourced Services offer services either customized for select industries such as human resources or travel or to diverse industries, as is the case with transaction and payment processing companies offering payment related transaction and payment processing services by connecting consumers, financial institutions, merchants, governments, digital partners, businesses, and other organizations. These support activities are closely aligned with the business support activities covered under the Industrials Sector rather than the Information Technology Sector, and with the Financials Sector in the case of payment processors.
Market feedback concerning the proposal for Data Processing & Outsourced Services was generally favorable. Data Processing & Outsourced Services Sub-Industry under the Information Technology Sector will be discontinued and will be moved to the Industrials Sector with an updated definition. In addition, transaction and payment processing companies will be reclassified to a newly created Sub-Industry called Transaction and Payment Processing Services under the Financials Sector. Payroll processing companies will be moved to the Industrials Sector under the Human Resource & Employment Services Sub-Industry with an updated definition. Companies offering travel related data processing and outsourced services will be moved to the Consumer Discretionary Sector under the Hotels, Resorts & Cruise Lines Sub-Industry.
CLASSIFICATION OF BANKS AND THRIFTS & MORTGAGE FINANCE
The Banks Industry Group comprised of Diversified Banks, Regional Banks, and Thrifts/Savings Banks has evolved over the years with respect to the geographic footprints of these businesses, the laws governing them, and the variety of services being offered. Further, Mortgage Finance, where revenue is more fee-based than interest income based, are distinct from Banks as they mainly offer mortgage finance related products & services for commercial & residential real estate properties. In order to capture these changes, it was proposed to merge Diversified Banks, Regional Banks, and Thrifts/Savings Banks into a single Sub-Industry. And it was proposed to discontinue the Thrifts & Mortgage Finance Sub-Industry under the Banks Industry Group and create a new Commercial & Residential Mortgage Finance Sub-Industry under the Diversified Financials Industry Group (to be renamed Financial Services).
Market feedback concerning the proposal for Banks was mixed, but favorable for the Thrifts & Mortgage Finance. Most clients expressed a desire to retain a distinction between Diversified Banks and Regional Banks, although they found merit in merging Thrifts and Savings Banks into an expanded Regional Banks Sub-Industry. In addition, feedback was in favor of discontinuing the Thrifts & Mortgage Finance Sub-Industry under the Banks Industry Group and creating a new Commercial & Residential Mortgage Finance Sub-Industry under the Diversified Financials Industry Group (to be renamed Financial Services). Hence, the proposal will be partially adopted. There will be no change to the Diversified Banks Sub-Industry, Thrifts/Savings banks will be merged with Regional Banks, and the change for Thrifts and Mortgage Finance Sub-Industry will be implemented as proposed.
CLASSIFICATION OF EQUITY REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUSTS (REITs)
The companies structured as REITs generally focus on distinct property types such as retail properties, data centers, telecom towers, etc., and only a small percentage of these companies invest in diverse property types.
Market feedback concerning the proposal for Equity REITs was generally favorable. Clients confirmed that there is interest in creating additional granularity for REITs to help investors track the increased specialization in the REITs space. It was proposed that Residential REITs will be split into 2 distinct Sub-Industries and Specialized REITs will be split into 5 Sub-Industries. In addition, 8 Industries for REITs and a new Industry Group for Equity REITs will be created. A new Real Estate Management & Development Industry Group and Industry will also be created. Since the consultation feedback concerning the proposals for Equity REITs was largely favorable, the changes will be implemented as proposed.
CLASSIFICATION OF TRANSPORTATION
The Trucking Sub-Industry includes a mix of companies providing cargo/goods and passenger ground transportation services. The passenger ground transportation business has evolved over the years through the development of online apps and marketplaces for taxis and on-demand ride sharing, as well as consumer bicycle and scooter rental platforms. In addition, these companies are distinct from those offering cargo/goods ground transportation services.
Market feedback supported the reasoning behind separating passenger land transportation from cargo/goods land transportation. The Trucking Sub-Industry will be split into two new Sub-Industries to be called Passenger Ground Transportation and Cargo Ground Transportation. For additional clarity, the Airlines Industry and Sub-Industry will also be renamed as Passenger Airlines to better reflect the companies classified there.
CLASSIFICATION OF RENEWABLE ENERGY COMPANIES
The consultation proposals related to the classification of renewable energy companies will not be adopted at this time. Although there is a rapid growth in investment and capacity in the renewable energy generation space that is transforming the competitive landscape of both the Energy and Utilities Sectors, with renewable energy generation sources becoming significant competitors to traditional energy source providers, feedback from clients and additional internal analysis suggests that there is not a consensus yet on how to reflect these changes in the GICS structure. It is likely that this topic will be revisited in a future structure review by S&P DJI and MSCI.
UPDATE TO GICS DEFINITION: CLASSIFICATION OF CANNABIS
The cannabis industry has expanded rapidly in recent years due to an ease in regulations and increased discovery of uses for a variety of applications. The legality of recreational usage is still inconsistent globally, whereas legal medicinal use is more widespread. Additional uses are still in a nascent stage. In addition, market feedback was also mixed and hence, the Pharmaceuticals Sub-Industry definition will not be updated at this time.
ADDITIONAL UPDATES IN SELECT GICS INDUSTRY AND SUB-INDUSTRY NAMES
Various GICS Industry and Sub-Industry names will be updated to increase clarity and consistency across the GICS structure, in addition to above changes.
The new GICS structure will consist of 11 Sectors, 25 Industry Groups, 74 Industries and 163 Sub-Industries.

BOSTON (AP) — A bill aimed at banning discrimination based on natural and protective hairstyles in workplaces, school districts, and school-related organizations was unanimously approved Thursday by the Massachusetts Senate.
The vote comes two weeks after the Massachusetts House approved a similar bill.
Supporters say Black women in particular have faced pressure in school and the workplace to alter their hair to conform to policies biased against natural hairstyles.
The Senate added a provision to the House version of the bill that would include the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association to the list of school entities banned from adopting and implementing restrictions on natural hairstyles.
Advocates say the change will ensure those participating in sports and extracurricular activities will not be asked to change their natural or protective hairstyles in order to participate.
The bill has its roots in the case of a Massachusetts charter school that came under fire in 2017 for a policy of banning hair braid extensions. After intense criticism, the school abandoned the policy.
The U.S. House also approved a bill earlier this month that would bar discrimination against Black people who wear hairstyles like Afros, cornrows or tightly coiled twists in society, school and the workplace. The federal bill would explicitly say that such discrimination is a violation of federal civil rights law.
President Joe Biden has said he would sign the bill into law. It now heads to the U.S. Senate.
Lawmakers in the Massachusetts House and Senate now have to come up with a single version of the bill before taking a final vote and shipping it to Republican Gov. Charlie Baker for his signature.
If signed into law, Massachusetts would become the fifteenth state to adopt the measure, known as the CROWN Act. | https://www.myplainview.com/news/article/Bill-banning-hairstyle-bias-approved-by-17049811.php | 2022-04-01T01:29:47Z |
With one of the top-ranked teams in the state entering the season, Heritage High’s softball team would be good. It was just going to take a while for the Patriots to get on the diamond and show just how good they are. At the Reed Tournament in Sparks, Nevada, on March 25-26, they finally got that chance.
Friday’s tournament opener against Douglas High School from Minden, Nevada, was also the season opener for Heritage. Conversely, it was the 11th game of the season for the Tigers. That game ended 0-0. The Patriots played twice more on Friday with better results, defeating Atwater 8-0 and Reno’s Damonte Ranch 15-1.
Heritage kept that momentum going through the first game on Saturday when the Patriots defeated tournament host, Reed High School, 7-2. That set up a final game with Sutter. Heritage lost 4-2. That gave the Patriots a 3-1-1 record at the tournament, good enough for second place.
“I was just hoping that the girls would grow so we’re peaking at the end of the year,” Heritage coach Ron Rivers said. “Nobody wants to peak early. It gave some of the non-starters a chance to go play. They did really well. I can take a tie and a loss early in the year to prepare for the end of the year.”
The Patriots got to show their depth in pitching. Heritage’s No. 1 starter, senior Kasey Aguinaga, appeared in three games. Over 11 innings, she struck out 15 batters, surrendered only four walks, four hits and one earned run for a 0.64 ERA. The No. 2 pitcher, Alyssa Soares, got into four games. She struck out 11 hitters in 11 innings, allowed 13 hits but only two walks and three earned runs for an ERA of 1.91.
Soares did take the loss in the game to Sutter but only one of the runs surrendered was earned. The Patriots committed a pair of crucial errors late.
“Alyssa pitched really well -- well enough to win the game,” Rivers said. “We were winning 1-0 the entire game. They scored on an error, we had two errors back-to-back and gave them four runs. And we left bases loaded … in one inning and three times had runners on second and third with two outs.”
Offensively, Heritage had several standouts. Senior Tiana Bell slugged a pair of home runs, hit .692 and stole a base. Junior Skylar Stroh also hit a pair of home runs, while junior Mikayla Garrison and Trinity Johnson each hit one. Bell also led the Patriots with nine hits. Sophomore Mikaela Mortimer and junior Jessica Im each had five.
Over the five games, Heritage also got to empty its bench. That gave Rivers reason for optimism going forward.
“What I took out of the weekend is that we’re going to be much better playing the twos now -- our depth is going to be pretty good,” Rivers said. “I’m pretty excited to see what’s going to come here.”
What’s coming soon is a busy stretch of games.
Heritage was in action on Wednesday against Arroyo. The results of that game were not available at press time. The Patriots will also play on Friday, April 1, against American Canyon at the Worth Shaw Complex in Antioch at 4 p.m. On Tuesday, April 5, Heritage will open its Bay Valley Athletic League season with a 4 p.m. game at Pittsburg. Then, from April 7-9, the Patriots will have another tournament, the Livermore Stampede.
If there was any drawback for the Patriots, it’s that their ranking fell. Before the season, they were ranked as Northern California’s second-best team. Now, Heritage is No. 5.
But Rivers doesn’t necessarily see that as a bad thing.
“I have no complaints at all,” he said. “We’re very excited about what’s going on. Going from two to five -- even though we had something to prove -- I think that lit the fire again.” | https://www.thepress.net/sports/heritage-opens-season-3-1-1-at-reed-tournament/article_8c077dca-b111-11ec-ab6c-77b75194db66.html | 2022-04-01T01:29:48Z |

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.”

BWW Review: ABT FORWARD at Kennedy Center
A trio of new works in American Ballet Theatre annual residency.
The Kennedy Center's 50th anniversary (whose celebrations have largely been pushed back a year due to the pandemic) coincides with the golden anniversary of the annual residency there of New York's American Ballet Theatre, whose first performance there came the day after the venerable Washington Performing Arts center opened in 1971.
Those anniversaries coincide this week with another landmark - the 30th season for ABT artistic director Kevin McKenzie, who was a principal dancer with the troupe for a decade before that. It is also his final season in the post, so there was a salute by Kennedy Center president Deborah Rutter at the beginning of the first night of the run Tuesday, and he was brought on stage at the end to take a bow - an even more special moment since he began his dance career in Washington.
McKenzie's final years were marked with a number of new works, three of which comprised the opening evening, titled "ABT Forward" (which was repeated Wednesday).
Its highlight in many ways came first with "Bernstein in a Bubble," choreographed by the company's artist in residence Alexei Ratmansky and set to the jaunty music of Leonard Bernstein's 1980 "Divertimento."
As welcome as the coming of spring after a long winter - and indeed the long absence of live performance in two years of pandemic - it fairly burst in color and movement. The small groupings of talented dancers from a troupe of seven dancers - four men and three women - were well matched to the eight brief and light pieces that make up the piece.
Their exuberance was likely heightened by the live setting what was originally conceived for a "digital world premiere" a year ago, hence the bubble in the title.
Now with the COVID bubble seemingly burst, the performances came bolstered with extra verve in front of this familiar audience (albeit one still masked and with proof of vaccination).
Bernstein was commissioned to compose the work to celebrate another performing arts landmark - the centennial of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and equally as delightful to experience was the backing of the Kennedy Center Opera House Orchestra, back in glorious full force and conducted by Charles Barker, who took a bow with the dancers at the piece's conclusion.
The orchestra had already provided an important and stirring moment by performing the Ukrainian National Anthem (to a fully standing audience) to begin the evening, after Rutter noted the role of the arts to bring people together, a power as important as diplomacy in trying to end war. The moment at a grand hall that thinks itself the National Performing Arts Center squarely in the Nation's Capital, was a bold and moving gesture that ought to be adopted by other companies and awards show to demonstrate solidarity.
Certainly, the recognition was central to the world of ballet, where Ratmansky, the company's artist in residence and choreographer of "Bernstein in a Bubble," was a Russian-born former director of the Bolshoi Ballet who was once principal dancer with the Ukrainian National Ballet.
The performing troupe, as well has roots in the fraught part of the world, with some born in Russia, others in Ukraine.
But like the other splendors of the Bernstein piece, it helped make one forget for a moment the horrors of the war.
The second piece of the evening, "Single Eye," was also composed of a number of short, individual pieces using a larger group. But like the rest of the evening, it relied on music by Jason Moran of solo piano backed by an unsettling modernist electronic fuzz. Choreographed by Alonzo King, it was the newest piece of the evening, having premiered less than two weeks earlier in California.
The striking, edgy music was matched by the setting, with wrinkly scrims by designer Robert Rosenwasser and lighting by Brad Fields that featured what seemed like lingering clouds above the dancers.
While it featured some notable showcases, such as a winning solo by dancer Calvin Royal III, its seven movements didn't always add up to the overall theme stated in the Biblical epigraph "If thine eye be single, they whole body shall be full of light."
Most disarming, however, was the final bit of fluff, "ZigZag." The orchestra having long since gone home, this relied entirely on recorded music, specifically 10 records by Tony Bennett.
With Wes Gordon's bright, flouncy dresses in bright yellow, fuchsia, royal blue (or bold black and white polka dots, the sweeping ensemble work and a backing zig zag graphic that brought to mind old TV sets (if not Charlie Brown's sweater), the choreography by Jessica Lang seemed a throwback to 1960s era variety show troupes. That meant movement so directly depicting lyrics they approached charades, from the "little cable cars climb[ing] halfway to the stars" to "the golden sun" that shines for me. And the company seemed to combine and stretch to depict the spans of the Golden Gate Bridge a couple of times.
It also uses a couple pieces of art by Bennett - a a cityscape of Manhattan that dropped its horizon from dance to dance, and a sketch of jazz musician Hank Jones to accompany its penultimate "It Don't Mean a Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing."
Meant to mark the 80th anniversary of ABT in 2020, "ZigZag" had its premiere delayed until last October. As fun as some of it was - and indeed the entire evening seemed a triumphant return for live performance - it seemed merely a minor entertainment to cap an evening when so many monumental anniversaries were being marked.
The main part of the ABT residency is a performance of "Don Quixote" through Sunday, April 3.
Running time: About two hours, including two 20 minute intermissions.

"ABT Forward" was performed March 29 and 30 at the John F. Kennedy Performing Arts Center, where the American Ballet Theatre performance of "Don Quixote" runs through April 2.

NEW YORK (AP) — Whoa! It's a Double Aho!
Both NHL players named Sebastian Aho — one a defenseman for the New York Islanders, the other a forward for the Carolina Hurricanes — scored goals for their teams Thursday night.
And at nearly the exact same time.
According to Sportsnet Stats, the Islanders' Aho scored his first goal of the season at 7:14 p.m. EDT in New York against Columbus.
Just 34 seconds later — and more than 500 miles away — the Hurricanes' Aho scored his 31st goal in Carolina against Montreal. Both gave their teams 1-0 leads in the first period.
It's not the first time the two have combined on a statistical oddity. In 2018, New York's Aho committed a hooking penalty on Carolina's Aho, causing MSG Networks Islanders play-by-play broadcaster Brendan Burke to exclaim: "A little Sebastian Aho-on-Sebastian Aho crime.”
The two Ahos are not related, by the way. The Islanders' Aho, Sebastian Johannes Aho, is 26 and from Sweden. He has three career NHL goals in limited action.
The Hurricanes' Aho, Sebastian Antero Aho, is 24 and from Finland. He's a two-time NHL All-Star and has 176 career goals.

An expression of Silversea's rapid expansion, Silver Dawn becomes the cruise line's third new ship to debut in nine months.

FIRST: THE NAMING CEREMONY MARKS SILVER DAWN'S OFFICIAL DEBUT
After Royal Caribbean Group's customary bagpipe performance, which opened the formal naming ceremony, performers took to the stage, entertaining attendees with a performance that weaved a narrative from the 2021 launch of Silver Moon to the modern day debut of Silver Dawn. Singers recited the national anthems of the U.S.A., Italy, and Portugal, before a religious leader blessed the ship and dignitaries delivered speeches. The newly named Godmother of Silver Dawn, Nilou Motamed—an influential food and travel editor, tastemaker, and television personality—subsequently cut the ribbon to trigger a champagne bottle to smash on the ship's hull, signalling the end of the ceremony.
"Celebrating the naming of Silver Dawn in Lisbon marked an incredibly proud moment for all involved," said Jason Liberty, President and CEO, Royal Caribbean Group. "I thank and congratulate Roberto Martinoli and our entire team, including Captain Failla and the crew, as well as everyone at Fincantieri, our ship building partners. Silver Dawn is a jewel in the Silversea fleet and speaks to Royal Caribbean Group's commitment to delivering the best vacation experiences in a responsible way."
"An evolution of our unique take on luxury, Silver Dawn is the third Silversea ship to be named in the last nine months," said Roberto Martinoli, President & CEO, Silversea Cruises. "As well as S.A.L.T., our immersive culinary programme, Silver Dawn enriches guests' travels with Otium, our indulgent new wellness programme, which is inspired by the ancient Roman lifestyle. She really is magnificent. I extend my gratitude to Jason Liberty and all involved at Royal Caribbean Group, as well as to the team at Silversea, Fincantieri, and Captain Failla and his crew—our most valuable asset. Moreover, I proudly welcome Nilou Motamed as the Godmother of Silver Dawn."
NILOU MOTAMED: GODMOTHER OF SILVER DAWN
An Emmy-nominated television personality and former editor-in-chief of some of the world's leading culinary brands, including Food & Wine and Epicurious, Nilou Motamed has been shaping the conversation in food and travel for more than 20 years. Born in Iran, raised in Paris and New York, Motamed is fluent in four languages — and believes "food is a language of its own, one in which everyone can find comfort, compassion, and community." Her passion for culinary adventures and far-flung cuisines has found a perfect match in Silversea's S.A.L.T. programme, which the New York resident first experienced with its launch in 2021.
"It's a great honour to have been selected as the Godmother of Silver Dawn and to have been on board for her naming ceremony in Lisbon," says Motamed. "Growing up in multiple countries has helped me recognize that one of our deepest common bonds, wherever we go, is food. Like many of Silversea's guests, I always pair my cultural explorations with culinary ones. That's why I've loved seeing the world through Silversea's S.A.L.T. programme. I've dedicated my career to celebrating authentic, local cuisines and cultures. For me, nothing is more rewarding than connecting with people over a shared meal."
"An authority in the world of food and drink, Nilou is a curious, intelligent traveller," continues Martinoli. "Her mission to delve deeper into cultures through food, to truly understand places and their people, reflects that of Silversea's culinary programme, S.A.L.T.. It is this strong spirit of discovery, this commitment to self-enrichment and complete cultural immersion, that makes Nilou the perfect Godmother for our newest ship. Aboard Silver Dawn, our guests will discover the world with purpose, while journeying in Silversea's trademark level of comfort."
SILVER DAWN AND THE OTIVM WELLNESS PROGRAMME
Silver Dawn becomes the latest ship in Silversea's popular Muse class. The most discernible difference between Silver Dawn and her sister ships, Silver Muse® and Silver MoonSM, is the new Otium wellness programme, which launches as a unique innovation. It is the only wellness programme at sea that incorporates champagne, chocolate and other gourmet snacks; signature cocktails; bespoke in-suite experiences; a Roman-influenced spa; and a wellness journey that extends throughout the ship. Grounded in the philosophy and traditions of the ancient Roman lifestyle, in which otium was a period of time dedicated exclusively to leisure, the Otium wellness programme is built on principles of indulgence, pleasure, and pampering. Spanning almost 800m2 on deck six, Silver Dawn's spa has been completely redesigned for a more seamless wellness journey.
Silver Dawn departs on her inaugural voyage on April 1, sailing from Lisbon to Barcelona. She is scheduled to sail in the Mediterranean until November, when she will cross the Atlantic Ocean, via the Canary Islands, to unlock the Caribbean and Central America for guests.

DELANO, Calif. (AP) — The death of an inmate at a central California prison is being investigated as a homicide, officials said Thursday.
Juan E. Mendoza, 26, was found unresponsive in his cell at Kern Valley State Prison shortly before 5 p.m. on Wednesday, according to a statement from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
He had visible injuries and died a short time later despite life-saving efforts.
Mendoza shared his cell with another man, Jorge L. Mendoza, who was removed from the cell and placed in segregation while the death is investigated, authorities said.
Juan E. Mendoza went to prison in 2020 after receiving a six-year sentence in San Bernardino County for second-degree attempted murder and personal use of a dangerous weapon, officials said.
Jorge L. Mendoza was admitted from Monterey County in 2018 and was serving a sentence of life with the chance of parole for second-degree murder with the use of a firearm by a second-striker.
Kern Valley State Prison is located in Delano, northwest of Bakersfield. It has more than 3,200 inmates. | https://www.myplainview.com/news/article/California-prison-inmate-death-investigated-as-a-17049814.php | 2022-04-01T01:29:54Z |

People who suffered from even mild cases of COVID-19 face an increased risk of being diagnosed with diabetes within a year of recovering from the illness, a new study reports.
Researchers found that people who had COVID-19 were about 40% more likely to develop diabetes within a year after recovering, compared to participants in a control group. The likelihood of developing diabetes grew if the patient suffered from a serious infection that led to hospitalization or a stay in intensive care.
"What's surprising is that it is happening in people with no prior risk factors for diabetes" before becoming infected with COVID-19, said Ziyad Al-Aly, the lead author of the study.
These latest findings add to a growing list of studies showing that people who suffered from COVID-19 are at risk of facing other long-term health problems. Those include heart and kidney ailments and chronic fatigue.
Al-Aly also helped lead the study that showed the prevalence of cardiac issues in people who survived COVID-19 infections.
This newest study, published Monday in the Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology journal, analyzed data from more than 180,000 patients from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
The study's authors compared patients who tested positive for COVID-19 and survived the illness for more than a month with more than 4 million other people who didn't contract COVID in the same period. This data was also compared with another 4.28 million patients who were treated at the VA in 2018 and 2019.
The paper states that around 1% to 2% of people who have been infected with COVID will develop diabetes as a result. That may seem like a small number, but nearly 80 million people in the U.S. have had COVID, Al-Aly told NPR — meaning 800,000 to 1.6 million people developing diabetes who might not have otherwise.
"That translates to a really significant number of people with new onset diabetes in the U.S. and many, many more around the world," Al-Aly said.
Nationwide, approximately 34 million people had diabetes pre-COVID, according to Jorge Moreno, an internal medicine physician at Yale University who didn't work on Al-Aly's study. Doctors expect roughly 1.5 million new people to be newly diagnosed with diabetes each year during normal times, he told NPR.
What to look out for
This study shows that as a nation, more attention needs to be paid to the long-term effects of COVID-19, Al-Aly said. More vigilance can start at the doctor's office.
"We need to start treating COVID as a risk factor for diabetes," Al-Aly said, adding that each person who has come down with the virus needs to be screened.
Moreno told NPR he believes this study will create more awareness among general practitioners and endocrinologists, like himself, to screen patients who have had COVID for diabetes and other complications.
Those who've had COVID should also be closely monitoring their health and changes in their body, Moreno said, and should seek help at the first sign of an issue. Major symptoms for diabetes include increased thirst, frequent urination (which is not influenced by how much liquid consumed) and blurry vision. Major weight fluctuations are also a sign.

Corrections Department gets 93 new officers
A charge to “remain committed to a vision of excellence by setting high standards and making positive improvements where necessary”, has been issued to 93 correctional officers by Minister of State in the Ministry of National Security, Zavia Mayne.
He was speaking at yesterday's Passing Out Parade Ceremony for the 81st Intake of Correctional Officers at the Carl Rattray Staff College in Runaway Bay, St. Ann.
During his address to the cohort comprising 78 males and 15 females, the minister reminded newly inducted officers of the importance of their role as members of the security forces and the significant role the Department of Correctional Services (DCS) plays in improving national security and safeguarding public order.
“The DCS contributes to national security by securing, supervising, rehabilitating and reintegrating offenders as productive law abiding citizens,” he said, as he challenged graduates “to always be your best, act boldly with the strategies and procedures while utilising the knowledge learnt”.
The state minister further warned graduates of the consequences they will face should they trod the path of corruption.
“The Corrections Act was amended in December 2021 to impose not just heavier fines, but to provide for prison time for officers who are found to be in breach of their calling and duties or facilitate the movement of prohibited items within our correctional facilities,” said Mayne.
In his charge to the graduating cohort, the minister noted that under the Offender Management Policy, there are some key components that will be addressed in the comprehensive review of the Corrections Act, which include greater focus on rehabilitation and reintegration of offenders through a supportive environment.
He highlighted the 122 Mandela Rules, which outline the minimum standards for good prison management, including ensuring that the rights of all prisoners are respected despite being remanded or convicted. These rules were adopted in December 2015 at the United Nations General Assembly.
The state minister also spoke of other components of the comprehensive review of the Corrections Act which include the introduction of a case management framework, the introduction of an electronic system for the management of offenders, provisions for children in the correctional centres to visit their parents under supervision, and the mandatory compliance of inmates to participate in the rehabilitation programmes at the adult level.
“The Government is committed to providing the DCS with the necessary legislative support to achieve a reduction in re-offending through the implementation of policies and strategies that will aid in the rehabilitation and reintegration of wards of the State,” Minister Mayne concluded.

House votes to cap cost of insulin at $35, heads to Senate
Posted/updated on: March 31, 2022 at 6:25 pm(WASHINGTON) -- Congress could soon send to the president's desk a bill that would cap the cost of the lifesaving drug insulin at $35 per month -- a move that could significantly reduce and rein in out-of-pocket drug costs for millions of Americans with diabetes.
The House approved the bill Thursday by a vote of 232-193, with 12 Republicans joining all Democrats in support.
The bill now heads to the Senate, and it could be taken up in the upper chamber in a matter of weeks if there is bipartisan agreement.
Experts say it costs less than $10 a vial to manufacture, yet there are still American families with insurance paying hundreds of dollars per vial of insulin.
Currently, costs for patients can range from $334 to $1,000 a month for insulin, according to a 2020 Kaiser Family Foundation report.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 37.3 million people in the U.S. have diabetes, which is about 11% of the U.S. population. Out of the nearly 40 million people who have diabetes -- about 25% or 7.4 million Americans need insulin. Many people with diabetes are prescribed insulin, either because their bodies do not produce insulin (Type 1 diabetes) or do not use insulin properly (Type 2 diabetes).
The bill to cap the cost of insulin was originally a part of President Joe Biden's "Build Back Better" domestic policy agenda, but since that massive piece of legislation is stalled in the Senate, lawmakers decided to move unilaterally on this standalone bill specifically addressing insulin.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer told reporters on Wednesday that it is "inexcusable" people are being charged exorbitant prices for "a lifesaving and life-sustaining drug whose costs [have] not increased and whose research costs have been amortized a very long period of time ago."
Democratic Rep. Dan Kildee of Michigan, one of the authors of the House bill, said it's "outrageous that a single vial of insulin costs up to $1,000, when the medication costs just a few dollars to make."
The bill caps cost-sharing for a month's supply of insulin starting in 2023 at whichever amount is lower: $35, or 25% of a plan's negotiated price, according to the bill's text. The bill does not lower the overall price of insulin; it would likely shift more of the cost onto insurers and employers.
Supporters of the bill say it will save lives by making insulin affordable for millions of Americans, many of whom now reduce the amount they take or skip doses, resulting in far more costly visits to emergency rooms and the hospital.

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

BWW Interview: Director Nadia Latif Talks MARYS SEACOLE
Jackie Sibblies Drury's play is having its UK premiere at the Donmar Warehouse
Director Nadia Latif returns this month with the hotly anticipated Marys Seacole written by Jackie Sibblies Drury.
This isn't hyperbole: when the pair last worked on Fairview at the Young Vic in 2019, it was widely applauded for its highbrow commentary and theatrical bravery. In our five-star review, we described this immersive take on black experiences and white perception as "no ordinary play" and "something that you must experience for yourself". So, no pressure.
As a theatre director, Latif was the Genesis Director at the Young Vic from 2018-2020. She will soon be working with Jonathan Majors (Loki, Lovecraft County) on her debut film The Man In My Basement.
The play's subject has been largely forgotten by history, though Mary Seacole was lauded in her time. A pioneering nurse from Jamaica, she travelled to the Crimean War and, with her own resources, set up the "British Hotel" to care for sick and convalescent officers. Seacole was known to Florence Nightingale as they both served during the war in modern-day Ukraine. The "lady with the lamp" had a dim view of her colleague, saying "anyone who employs Mrs Seacole will introduce much kindness - also much drunkenness and improper conduct."
Marys Seacole has already had an Off-Broadway run and arrives in London in a few weeks with a new cast at The Donmar Warehouse. We spoke to Nadia to ask her about the play and how diversity can be improved in the theatre industry.
We loved Fairview and we're very much looking forward to your latest collaboration Marys Seacole with Jackie Sibblies Drury. Was working with her on this play similar to when you worked together on Fairview?
I loved making Fairview, not just with Jackie but with whole creative team, who are reunited on Marys Seacole. I can feel the creative connections we forged in 2019 deepening on this project - sometimes that results in a shorthand, but sometimes we actually use more words in more discussions to get to where we want to go.
How did Covid affect the process of bringing the play to the Donmar?
Both Fairview and Marys Seacole were programmed a really long while before their rehearsal processes started, which I think has reaped similar rewards - a lovely long preparation period of watching films, going to art exhibitions, reading books - and a long window to do a really extensive casting process. So both shows have got absolutely the right people in the right room at the right time.
You're working again with Tom Scutt who has been nominated for an Olivier for his excellent work on Cabaret. What can you tell us about what he will be conjuring up for Marys Seacole?
Tom is a dear friend, and a brilliant designer - but I actually think foremost he's one of the best dramaturgical minds in the business. He always does exactly what the play needs.
I think we both spent a lot of the pandemic (we lived on the same street up until very recently) thinking a lot about how theatre would build back, and to be honest, feeling disappointed with how it has.
It's still totally reliant on burnout, and pulling off miracles just in the nick of time, with no regard for the human or environmental cost of that process. Theatre has to stop chewing up people and stuff and spitting them back out. So we wanted to make a show that focussed on people and kindness and care - and what the play really needs.
The show has already had an Off-Broadway run in 2019. Given that was about three years ago, before George Floyd's death and the rise of Black Lives Matter, has the play changed in tone or content much since its US run?
Yes, but not because of BLM, truth be told. I mean, the biggest thing is that in America nobody knows who Mary Seacole is, and in Britain we have a closer relationship with her story (though plenty of Brits I asked didn't know who she was either). So that made me and Jackie want to push further into the - surprising - elements of the play.
But also the pandemic was the other major player - Mary Seacole was a healer who believed in the power of touch and care - and here we were in a pandemic with healthcare workers placed under inconceivable pressure and strain, and where touch had become dangerous. So that sharpened the play again.
With the passage of time, the new cast and the new venue, has your view of and your approach to this play materially changed?
I like to think I make every play totally specifically to the venue and time. I haven't worked at the Donmar before so I spent a lot of time interrogating who a Donmar audience is, what their expectation of the work could be, their experience of physically entering the theatre space. I spent a lot of time in the theatre foyer trying to tune into what frequency of anticipation a Donmar audience vibrates at.
I also went to watch some biographical plays and films - which, truth be told, aren't my favourite thing, but it was fascinating to see how audiences respond to that type of material as compared to an original story.
In previous interviews, you've spoken about increasing diversity in the arts, especially in terms of gender and race. What would you advise theatre companies to do in 2022?
We don't want schemes, we want jobs. If your company does not at least reflect the make-up of the town or city you're based in, you have failed.
Are there any plans for another play with Jackie and Tom? The best things come in threes, so they say.
If Jackie or Tom want to do another play, I'll drop everything and cross oceans to be there. So, inshallah, soon.
Marys Seacole opens at The Donmar Warehouse on 21 April

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Russell Knox recorded four straight birdies on the back nine and fired a 7-under 65 on Thursday for a one-shot lead after the opening round of the Valero Texas Open.
Knox closed out his round with a seven-foot putt to save par at the par-5 18th at TPC San Antonio, and was one shot ahead of Rasmus Hojgaard.
Hojgaard fired a 66 despite a double bogey on his final hole. Matt Kuchar is another stroke back after an opening 5-under 67 and is among a group that includes Denny McCarthy, Aaron Rei and J.J. Spaun.
Defending champ Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy finished at even-par 72. They were outside the top 60 after one round and could flirt with the cut line on Friday.
Bryson DeChambeau had a 1-over 73. After holing a bunker shot for eagle on his 11th hole and following with a birdie on the next, he made bogey on four of his last six holes.
Knox, a 32-year-old Scotsman with two career PGA Tour wins, started his birdie streak at No. 12. All of his birdie putts were inside 10 feet. At the 15th, he was about 20 feet away from a back pin position following his approach and chipped in from the fringe. It was his second chip-in in the round.
“That was one of those kind of bonus birdies that you need when you’re going to have a good day,” Knox said. “Obviously thrilled with the round. It’s been more of the way I want to play.”
Hogjaard, a 21-year-old from Denmark and two-rime winner on the European Tour, had his sights on the first-round lead heading to his closing hole. But, his drive sailed well left of the fairway. It took him four shots to reach the green on the par-4 ninth.
“I had to chip sideways back into the fairway,” he said. “Just was a little too aggressive after that. Yeah, short-sided myself and I didn’t get up and down and suddenly you walk away with double-bogey. Yeah, that was a bit annoying, but it happens.”
Kuchar was 5 under after 11 holes. Thirty feet away from the pin on the next hole, he failed to get up and down and missed a seven-foot putt for par. He got a shot back with a birdie on his 14th hole, and parred out, falling short in a bid to match his season-best round of 64 at the Sony Open, where he finished in the top 10.
“A lot of good and bad that can happen here on this course,” Kuchar said. “I was kind of managing early on in the round and then found a little something on about the fifth or sixth hole. I started having some birdie chances and converted on a few late in my first nine.”
Kuchar has won nine times on the PGA Tour. McCarthy, Rai and Spaun are looking for their first.

Former President Trump senior adviser Jared Kushner provided "helpful" information to the Democratic-led House panel investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, a member of the panel said.
Kushner, married to Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump, who was also a senior adviser, is the most high profile member of Trump's inner circle known to have appeared before the committee.
He voluntarily appeared for a remote interview that started at 10 a.m. and lasted at least into the early afternoon hours, several sources familiar with the committee's work said.
Kushner's meeting came two months after the panel asked Ivanka Trump to voluntarily appear before the committee. Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., said Ivanka Trump and the committee are engaged in conversations, but no final plan has been reached on her appearance.
"The expectation is that it will take place, as to when I can't tell you right now, I know we are engaging her as a committee," Thompson said on Wednesday.
Virginia Democratic Rep. Elaine Luria told NPR the conversation with Kushner was "helpful." She told MSNBC that Kushner was able to substantiate information and provide his own take on different reports on the Jan. 6 attack.
Luria said it's valuable to hear firsthand accounts from witnesses such as Kushner directly.
"I think that the committee really appreciates hearing information directly from people who have relevant facts about January 6, and the fact that Jared Kushner came as a witness is helpful to building the story of our investigation," Luria said.
One source familiar with the committee's discussions but unable to speak on the record said there were details that Kushner couldn't remember but the source noted that like other witnesses, it has been more than a year since the attack on the Capitol and it is not uncommon for some to not recall some specifics.
Kushner was traveling back from Saudi Arabia on Jan. 6, 2021, but Thompson said he believes that he could help the committee understand more about the events that led up to that day.
"We think because he was an integral part of the administration, it's, I think, important for us to find out if he knew anything about the planning before January 6 and to get it from him," Thompson said.
Thompson, who was not at House votes on Thursday and voted by proxy, had said a day earlier if Kushner's interview went well, the panel would ask for additional communication details, such as call and text message records.
Thompson had previously waved off interest in Kushner but said the committee's staff has continued to reach out to potential witnesses.
"We have an excellent staff, and staff has been actively engaging a number of witnesses, including individuals or their attorneys and Kushner's attorney will be the same," Thompson told NPR on Wednesday.
The White House on Wednesday said it had waived executive privilege claims for Kushner and Ivanka Trump, allowing them to share certain details with the panel.

AP PHOTOS on Day 36: Russian tanks destroyed outside Kyiv
Destroyed Russian tanks line a road on the outskirts of Ukraine’s capital, where Ukrainian troops pose for selfies atop the shell of one vehicle after their forces overran a Russian position. An 81-year-old man bicycles alone past one burned-out tank on the muddy road.
Close to Kyiv, in Irpin, Ukrainian soldiers carry the bodies of civilians killed by Russian forces over a destroyed bridge. Other soldiers assist an elderly woman who has hidden from Russian shelling in a shelter for weeks without food and water.
In the town of Bashtanka, people who have fled nearby villages attacked by the Russian army shelter in a church among the pews and in the basement bomb shelter.
During a break for lunch, a Ukrainian soldier keeps a machine gun close at hand, next to pickles and condiments on the table.

I was pretty frustrated with dispensaries in Missouri and honestly wasn’t going back to one u til I saw a new one open on Rolla and I figured I’d give it one last try. So a man named Bryan changed dispensers for me he was extremely helpful,knowledgeable and not fake. Honestly at most dispensaries I feel like the Bud Tenders are gargoyle’s perched waiting to take my money like zombies waiting for brains lol. Not at Liberty and not with Bryan for dang sure.

Menier Chocolate Factory, Leeds Playhouse, and More Receive Latest Round of Grants From the Culture Recovery Fund
This is the final £35 million emergency support package coming from the fund.
Hundreds of cultural organisations have received a share of the final £35 million emergency support package from the Culture Recovery Fund, to help overcome the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Since August 2020, the Culture Recovery Fund has distributed £1.57 billion to around 5,000 organisations and sites across the country, giving a lifeline to theatres, museums, independent cinemas and many more cherished organisations around the country through the pandemic.
The final round of funding has supported organisations through the latest challenges, in particular those affected by the Omicron variant this winter. It has kept organisations up and running so that they can continue to support jobs and contribute to local economies.
The record-breaking fund has helped the country's precious arts, heritage and culture through the pandemic, backing world-renowned names such as Blackpool's Tower Ballroom, Glastonbury Festival and the National Theatre.
Arts Minister Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay said:
Being cut off from them during lockdown has underlined what a vital role cultural organisations play in their community up and down the country. The Government stood by them in the pandemic, and is determined that they should remain open and accessible to everyone - now and for generations to come.
I am very proud of the Culture Recovery Fund and the lifeline it has provided for cherished organisations in every part of the country.
Support for festivals and live events
The government has been working flat out to support our world-class performing arts and live events sector through challenging times. Now, thanks to this funding, festival-goers and gig-lovers will be able to get back to the brilliant live, in-person events that have been on hold over the past two years. Harrogate International Festivals, for example, have received a grant of £80,000 to continue delivering engaging cultural festivals, such as the Harrogate Music Festival.
A £185,000 grant for Corsica Studios in central London has helped the night club welcome grassroots DJs and household names alike and £60,000 has supported the Wedgewood Rooms, an independent music venue in Southsea, Portsmouth offering an important grassroots music space, and comedy and spoken word events since opening in 1992.
Support for arts
To make sure that everyone continues to have access to arts and culture, this funding will support creative, community-driven arts organisations and creative projects to help nurture and sustain local talent. £70,000 has been awarded to the oldest working men's club in Britain, Holbeck Working Men's Club based in Leeds, making sure this community-owned venue can continue with its rich cultural programme.
West End Stage in central London has also received a grant of over £80,000 to continue inspiring and supporting young people to begin their careers on stage. More than £95,000 in funding has gone to Birmingham-based Deaf Explorer to help their important work with Deaf artists to access opportunities across the arts. Almost £50,000 is going to support Golden Tree Productions in Cornwall so that it can continue to develop iconic cultural projects that celebrate Cornwall's distinctiveness and diversity.
The Bluecoat, Liverpool's iconic contemporary arts centre, has also been granted over £170,000 to continue their important work engaging the community with art and culture. Home to over 27 artists, arts organisations, craftspeople and retailers in one of Liverpool's most historic buildings, the funding has protected jobs and kept the centre running.
Sir Nicholas Serota, Chair, Arts Council England said:
This additional round of the Emergency Resource Support Fund has provided a vital lifeline to creative and cultural organisations who have faced further challenges whilst recovering from the ongoing impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
We once again thank the government for its unprecedented support for our creative and cultural industries. The £35 million awarded in Cultural Recovery Funding is helping to support the sector as it continues to welcome back visitors, reinvigorate communities, champion local talent, and ensure every one of us has access to a remarkable range of high-quality cultural experiences wherever they are in the country.
Support for heritage
These final awards are also safeguarding precious heritage and regional museums so they can be enjoyed by local communities and visitors long into the future. £1.35 million has protected jobs at The Piece Hall in Halifax, the only remaining Grade I-listed Georgian cloth hall in the world, and funded conservation repairs so the heritage destination can continue welcoming visitors.
£130,000 has also been awarded to Aerospace Bristol, a family-friendly museum and learning centre whose exhibitions tell the remarkable story of Filton Airfield, and almost £200,000 has gone to The Sussex Archaeological Society to support their work researching and preserving local history and archaeology.
Duncan Wilson, Chief Executive, Historic England, said:
This final round of government funding has supported a range of important heritage organisations across the country, including The Piece Hall in Yorkshire. These places offer people with unparalleled ways of understanding the past, the history of their area, and the great outdoors and are of great importance for our post-pandemic recovery. Helping them to continue to recover and thrive into the future will provide long-lasting benefits to communities across the country.
Eilish McGuinness, Chief Executive, The National Lottery Heritage Fund, said:
This third and final round of the Culture Recovery Fund for Heritage has provided a vital lifeline to heritage organisations, sites and attractions who have found it challenging to recover from the ongoing impact of the Covid pandemic. The £3.1 million awarded by DCMS has helped support the heritage sector as it continues to move forward with plans to open doors to visitors, reinvigorating local areas and contributing to local and national tourism and economy.
Support for cinemas
Emergency funding has also kept projectors rolling in independent cinemas across the country. Thanks to a £45,000 emergency grant from the Culture Recovery Fund, Plymouth Arts Cinema, Plymouth's only independent cinema, has been able to continue its rich programme of international and UK independent films and offer cheaper tickets to those out of employment, students, those attending Relaxed screenings, and asylum seekers and refugees.
Almost £130,000 has also supported The Regal at Stowmarket to complete its long-planned refurbishment and offer an expanded programme to local communities, including "pocket-money screenings" with £3 tickets for children and work with local disability groups.
Ben Roberts, Chief Executive, BFI said:
Every penny of the Culture Recovery Fund including over £500k in this final round of funding to independent cinemas across the country has been vital to their survival, enabling them to recover and welcome back their audiences. As well as bringing people together to experience the magic of experiencing film on the big screen, local cinemas are hubs for educational and film activities and provide thousands of jobs contributing to regeneration and local economies.

TV presenter Angellica Bell, Board Member, Kingston Theatre Trust said:
As a Board member of Kingston Theatre Trust, I know how hard our team has worked to sustain the theatre during the pandemic. The Rose enjoys a reputation as both a well-respected producing house and a vibrant community arts hub for Kingston and South West London. We are committed to welcoming new, diverse audience members to the theatre, and this grant helps us to create work that will entice both first time and returning theatregoers to visit the Rose.
Dame Evelyn Glennie, solo percussionist said:
I am delighted that Deaf Explorer has this Culture Recovery Grant. This is a unique company with immense expertise amongst the artists that they collaborate with and support. They access producers that facilitate deaf artists to pioneer inclusive new work. The grant will help key staff return to work, fund-raise and rebuild confidence in their network of deaf artists, who have been devastated by the impact of Covid-19 on the cultural sector. New marketing and promotion will profile the company and help them find new cultural partners, wanting to improve access. I hope for them to quickly return the CIC to a successful not for profit, inspiring the deaf community to be creative and involved in the arts.
Nicky Chance-Thompson DL, Chief Executive, The Piece Hall Trust, said:
We are incredibly grateful the Government recognises the pivotal role The Piece Hall will continue to play in supporting the region's recovery post pandemic. This generous grant will ensure that this internationally significant heritage site loved by so many, can continue to be sustained and remain free to enter, enabling many different visitors and communities to enjoy and benefit from this precious historic and cultural asset at a time when it's perhaps needed more than ever. It has become increasingly clear that heritage and culture both play a vital role in supporting our emotional and economic well-being, and we look forward to bringing some much-needed fun and joy back to visitors with a great line up of events in 2022.
Mary Cloake, CEO, The Bluecoat, Liverpool said:
We're absolutely thrilled that we have been thrown this financial lifeline from the Culture Recovery Fund. We're grateful to DCMS and the Arts Council for their unwavering support for arts and culture throughout the pandemic. We have spent years building a mixed economy that isn't solely reliant on public funding, and that was turned on its head during Covid. We will use this money to continue to provide a centre for art and artists in the heart of Liverpool city centre, rebuilding our business and securing its future.
Anna Byrne, Executive Director, Auxiliary Project Space, Stockton on Tees said:
This funding comes at a pivotal time as we emerge from the effects of Covid-19. It allows us to make the full transition of opening up to the public, and supports our team and building with essential resources. We can now face 2022 with a renewed sense of confidence as we build towards the future.
Joanna Resnick, Executive Producer, The Holbeck, Leeds said:
The Holbeck Club serves the community in so many ways- an everyday cultural palace- a place to learn, laugh and relax. This vital funding means that we can continue to do this in these trying times. We're incredibly grateful for it.
Clare Sacco, Events Co-ordinator, The Creative Seed, South Shields said:
We are absolutely delighted to have received the Emergency Resource Support Fund. The Arts Council and DCMS's support through the ERF fund has been essential to allowing us to continue our work in the community, with people from a variety of backgrounds and demographics, with a focus on those who traditionally do not find arts and culture accessible. We strongly believe that the arts should be fully inclusive, and this funding will be pivotal in allowing us to facilitate this inclusion.
Sharon Canavar, Chief Executive, Harrogate International Festivals said:
This funding will make a significant difference to our ongoing delivery and emergence from the pandemic. Festivals are cyclical by nature and despite delivering a mix of digital and smaller scale live events during 2021 we need to be fit for purpose for the future learning from our resilience, radically changed programmes and creative ambition over the last two years. This funding will allow us to make informed decisions on our future artistic and community outputs.
Peter Blackburn CBE, Honorary President, Harrogate International Festivals said:
Financial support for the Harrogate International Festivals will be a much needed boost to the organisation after an incredibly challenging two years. HIF has been an integral part of the community during the pandemic supporting residents, employing artists and radically changing the creative offer to animate the town. However, as an organisation with a heavy reliance on ticket sales and sponsorship these much needed funds will bridge the gap across the winter months enabling us to rebuild and reimagine our organisation as we look towards the summer season in 2022 and beyond.
Ellie Claughton, Co-Director, Barrel Organ Theatre, Sheffield said:
We believe that everybody should be afforded the opportunity to nourish their creativity and have a voice, whether they consider themselves to be an artist or not. Funding from the Emergency Resource Fund has been intrinsic in supporting this work and in ensuring Barrel Organ are in a robust position to serve the communities we work with.
Loren Slater, Co-Director, Signal Film and Media, Barrow and Cumbria said:
This funding has been a lifeline for us during the pandemic, allowing us to adapt and increase our services to support some of the most vulnerable and isolated members of our community here in Barrow and Cumbria. The money meant we were able to keep delivering high quality activities and adapting to the rapidly changing circumstances of COVID instead of being under constant worry over our survival. We're incredibly grateful to the Arts Council for their dedication to helping organisations like ours and their responsiveness in providing the help we needed in such tough times.
Alison Gwynn, Chief Executive, Northern Film + Media said:
We [Northern Film + Media] are grateful to have received an award through the Cultural Recovery Fund at a really challenging time. The funding has enabled us to survive, and continue with the delivery of our programme of activities to those who are looking to enter the screen industry here in the North East. Our activity is due to expand rapidly this year and this marks the start of what will be an exciting time for the region and significant growth in the industry. The award has helped get to the point where we can thrive and be ready to support our talented screen professionals.
Richard Blaine, Artistic Director, Southwold and Aldeburgh Theatre Ltd said:
The amazing support from both CRF and ERS has been instrumental in both securing the survival of the company and creating a pathway to renewed self-sustainability and expansion. By supporting our 2021 summer season, CRF enabled the company to re-open on Freedom Day, 19th July, the first in our region. That season's success won us an invitation to expand to a second venue in 2022. The vital bridge to this expanded season, with potentially twice the income, and twice the local jobs of 2021, is our ERS grant. Having been kept afloat, we have now had a huge push back into the stream - it's a great example of how judiciously targeted Arts Funding is a future-facing investment, not just a lifeline.
Valerie Mills, Director, Amberley Museum & Heritage Centre said:
We are delighted to have received further funding from the Culture Recovery Fund and this Emergency Response Support grant has enabled us to navigate the winter months with more confidence, despite ongoing difficult operating conditions. Thanks to the funding we have been able to continue working towards sustainability by supporting our 350 volunteers, working with our collections and developing our learning programme.
Steve Goodman (aka Kode9), Hyperdub Records, London, said:
Having held live music, club nights and art events at Corsica Studios for over 10 years (most recently our Ø series which ran from 2017-2020), I am delighted to hear that the venue has been successful in its latest funding round. Corsica is one of the few remaining places in London that champions and supports left field and emerging culture with care and attention to sound and the overall experience of its audiences. It's an incredibly important musical hub and home for artists, labels and collectives in South London.
James Steventon, Director, Fermynwoods Contemporary Art, Northampton said:
After an incredibly challenging two years we are grateful to Arts Council England and DCMS for their support which has allowed us to take stock and reconfigure our organisation to do what we do best in creatively responding to a changing world.
Corey Baker, Choreographer, Corey Baker Dance, Birmingham said:
By the second half of last year, Swan Lake Bath Ballet had been a huge international hit and we had loads of opportunities for new projects. But for over a year our regular income sources had been completely cut off, and we had a serious cashflow crisis. Emergency Resource Support gave us the working capital we needed to get back to making work. With this support, we danced on top of wind turbines to celebrate renewable energy; we choreographed cars, bikes and skydivers for the BBC and One Dance UK's Dance Passion; and we even got to dance at No 10 Downing Street. We made three new dance films that have been seen by millions. ERS got our company moving again.
Billy Read, Chair of Deaf Explorer CIC, Birmingham, said:
We are excited to receive this Cultural Recovery Grant. Before Covid-19 we massively changed the lives of deaf artists. During Covid-19 our pipeline of artists collapsed. This grant will celebrate and raise our profile with a two day festival that will bring Deaf artists together, commission new work and reach our deaf audiences. We will also fundraise to delivery outstanding community participation projects that will involve a new generations of deaf artists.
Will Coleman, Artistic Director of Golden Tree, Cornwall, said:
Yma an Arghasans Yagheans Gonisogeth ow kweres gwitha an termyn a dheu rag Gwriansow Gwedhen Owr ha'gan gasa dhe besya dhe dysplegya digolmow gonisogethek, adhyskansel ha kerghynedhel neb a wul dyffransow leun a styr ha hirduryadow dhe gemenedhow.
Translation: The Culture Recovery Fund will help safeguard the future of Golden Tree Productions, and allow us to continue to design cultural, educational, and environmental solutions that make meaningful and lasting differences to communities.
Ian Stockley, Chief Executive Officer, Bath Festivals said:
The ERS Fund allowed us to maintain the required level of resource in the last quarter of 2021 to plan for a successful return to our higher levels of activity in 2022, as we emerge from the pandemic. We announced our May 2022 Festival programme of over 130 events at the beginning of March. This would not have been feasible without the grant from the ERS Fund.
Geoff Priestly, General Manager from Wedgewood Rooms, Portsmouth said:
The Culture Recovery Fund: Emergency Resources Support Fund has enabled the venue to weather the storm caused by the later Covid variants, and allowed us to keep shows in place, pay artists, promoters and technicians, and allowed The Wedgewood Rooms to present a wide and varied programme, further we have been able to re engage with our local creative community and audience.
Captain Les Brodie, Former British Airways Concorde pilot said:
As a former Concorde pilot, I believe it is absolutely vital that we preserve our precious aviation heritage for future generations and inspire young people to become the scientists and engineers of the future. I'm thrilled that, thanks to the kind support of The Arts Council, Aerospace Bristol has been able to make it through the pandemic and Concorde will continue to spark inspiration in young minds for many years to come.
Lloyd Burnell, Executive Director, Aerospace Bristol said:
Thanks to vital support from the Culture Recovery Fund, Aerospace Bristol, has been able to survive the unprecedented challenge of the covid-19 pandemic, keeping our museum open and continuing our award-winning learning programme and conservation work. We're enormously grateful for this crucial grant and it's fantastic to now see the results of this support, as visitors return to Aerospace Bristol to discover our incredible aviation heritage, step aboard Concorde, and enjoy days out together again.
Greg Staw, Co-founder, ON:SONG, Stroud said:
After what has been such a turbulent time for ON:SONG, like for so many cultural organisations, we are thrilled to have once again been supported by this round of funding. This means the world to us, both in terms of the financial stability it brings, and the belief shown in our mission to change lives through the power of music and song.
David Marsh, Events and Theatre Manager, Stowmarket Town Council, local to The Regal said:
The ongoing support from the Culture Recovery Fund has allowed us to continue to grow the cultural offering in mid-Suffolk. The additional measures and full programme it has afforded us to put in place has helped give our community the confidence to return to the cinema and in turn support many of our neighbouring hospitality businesses. We thank the BFI and DCMS for their incredibly valued support during this period.
Simon Ward and Corinna Downing, Owners, The Palace Cinema, Broadstairs said:
We're delighted to have received a further award from the BFI's Culture Recovery Fund for Independent Cinemas through the DCMS. The BFI's informed and consistent support for our cinema throughout the two years of the pandemic has ensured our survival. Thanks to this award we can look forward to a thriving future presenting an increasingly diverse range of international cinema, special events and education programmes to our communities in Broadstairs, Thanet and wider-Kent. Thank you!
Anna Navas, Director and Film Programmer, Plymouth Arts Cinema said:
We are very grateful to receive this support for Plymouth Arts Cinema. It will enable us to continue rebuilding our audience as we recover from the pandemic, and to develop new audiences by deepening our community engagement. We are committed to bringing world class independent cinema and film culture to Plymouth.
Gareth Negus, Managing Director, Electric Picture House Cinema, Southwold said:
Since we first received support from the Culture Recovery Fund, we've been gratified to see our audiences start to return to the cinema in greater numbers, some for the first time in several years. But we still face the challenge of rebuilding their confidence, and the cinema-going habit, in a period when - like many businesses - we are facing a number of increasing costs. So we're tremendously grateful for this additional funding, and the investment in small businesses like ours that are so important to their communities. We're here for culture, and we're planning to stay that way.
Gary Trinder, Chairman, Regent Centre, Christchurch said:
We are absolutely delighted to be the recipient of a further Culture Recovery Fund award from the DCMS, awarded through the British Film Institute of which we are members. The award provides ongoing certainty to operation of the Regent which is a registered Charity, meaning that after a sustained period of closure last year, we have reopened once again as a vibrant and healthy organisation, which would not have been the case without the award.
Raj Jeyasingam, Owner, Palace Cinema, Alton said:
I'm very grateful to DCMS and the BFI for this much needed help at a crucial time when there has been fewer movies on release to suit our customers, many of whom are still lacking confidence in attending the cinema.
Micaela Tuckwell, Executive Director, The Ultimate Picture Palace, Oxford said:
The Ultimate Picture Palace (UPP) is enormously grateful to everyone at DCMS and BFI for selecting us for an award from their CRF Emergency Resource Fund as this grant has made a vital difference to the future of our small cinema after the devastating blow Covid-19 had on sales, particularly in the final months of 2021. Crucially, the grant has allowed the staff and volunteers of the UPP to share their commitment to keeping the cinema open 7-days a week and to continue screening the best independent films from the UK and around the world. Receiving the grant has also given the business the stability to green light the cinema's exciting community ownership campaign which is being launched in the coming months inviting everyone who loves the UPP and independent cinema to invest in our historic cinema so that it can be brought even closer to the heart of the community, stays independent and has a bright future. | https://www.broadwayworld.com/westend/article/Menier-Chocolate-Factory-Leeds-Playhouse-and-More-Receive-Latest-Round-of-Grants-From-the-Culture-Recovery-Fund-20220331 | 2022-04-01T01:30:03Z |

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Anna Davis was little more than a silhouette from right of the ninth green as darkness fell quickly at the end of a long day at the Augusta National Women's Amateur. The only light came from a video board and headlights from carts making their way in.
Not the least bit rattled, the 16-year-old from San Diego pitched with perfect pace to 2 feet to save par and post a 4-over 76 at Champions Retreat, one of only nine players to finish the second round.
What started as lingering thunderstorms turned into a heavy rain that delayed the start of the second round for for seven-and-a-half hours. That led to what should be a longer day, but far more fun on Friday.
Fifty-one players will finish the second round in the morning — some with only one hole to play, others with nine holes — before heading over to Augusta National for a practice round.
It starts with an elite competition. It ends for so many of them with a dream come true.
Of the nine players who finished, Davis was at 2-over 146 and in a tie for eighth, virtually assured of being among the 30 players from a field of 60 who advance to the final round at the home of the Masters.
No one was under par.
Beatrice Wallin of Sweden was 1 under for the round through 16 holes and even par for the tournament, tied with Amari Avery, who also was 1 under for the day through 16.
Joining them at even par was Hailey Borjas, the Californian who plays at Michigan. Her day ended on a sour note with consecutive bogeys. Even so, she was excited for Friday.
She was at Augusta National earlier in the week, driving down Magnolia Lane and having a group dinner hosted by the club chairman.
“Seeing Augusta for the first time, it was like a dream come true,” Borjas said.
She was more excited about her first chance to play it than her position in the Augusta National Women's Amateur, in its third year but already considered elite among amateur events because of where it's at.
“I don't really like to think about golf when I'm playing golf, if that makes any sense," Borjas said. “I like to talk about other things, like shoes. So to think about Augusta National tomorrow will keep me going.”
U.S. Women's Amateur champion Jensen Castle had the best round going at 2 under through 16 holes, leaving her one shot out of the lead.
The course was just as difficult as the opening round, when strong wind allowed only five players to break par. The wind subsided after the rain, though it left the course soggy and longer, even as the greens were slightly more receptive.
Rose Zhang, the No. 1 amateur in the world, made progress by not really going anywhere. She put together one bogey and 13 pars and improved from a tie for 39th to a tie for 26th.
Rachel Heck of Stanford, the No. 3 player in women's amateur golf who won six times in one semester last year as a freshman, was going the other direction. Heck had a pair of double bogeys in her opening four holes and was 5 over through 10 holes, leaving her outside the projected cut line at 6 over.
The cut is a hard 30. Any ties lead to a sudden-death playoff to see who advances, although everyone gets to play a practice round at Augusta National on Friday.

Country Postman waves flag for Ukraine
SALT POINT — Blue and yellow flags seem to be popping up all over Millbrook lawns like sunflowers in the summertime these days, the national flower of the Ukrainian people the flags represent.

LB Bobby Wagner reaches five-year deal with Los Angeles Rams; worth $50M
Posted/updated on: March 31, 2022 at 6:27 pmBy ESPN.com
Pro Bowl linebacker Bobby Wagner will be staying in the NFC West next season despite his release by the Seattle Seahawks earlier this month.
Wagner agreed to terms on a five-year contract with the Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams, the team announced Thursday.
Financial terms were not disclosed, but sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter the deal is for $50 million and can be worth up to $65 million if Wagner reaches incentives.
It will mark a homecoming for Wagner, who was born in Los Angeles and attended high school in Ontario, California, about 35 miles east of the city. Wagner becomes the latest big-name player to join a star-studded Rams defense that already includes defensive tackle Aaron Donald and cornerback Jalen Ramsey.
Donald (five), Wagner (four) and Ramsey (three) have all earned at least three first-team All-Pro selections over the past five seasons. Only six defensive players in the NFL have achieved that feat over that time period, according to ESPN Stats & Information research.
The Rams had a need at one of their inside linebacker spots after they declined to tender Troy Reeder as a restricted free agent.
The Baltimore Ravens also were in the mix to sign Wagner before he decided to sign with the Rams. The Dallas Cowboys also had interest in Wagner.
Wagner publicly and privately voiced his unhappiness over how the Seahawks handled his release earlier this month. Seahawks general manager John Schneider and coach Pete Carroll expressed their regret over how they communicated those plans to Wagner.
Wagner, 31, was the last remaining member of the star-studded defenses that led Seattle to its lone world championship and a return trip to Super Bowl XLIX after the 2014 season.
Wagner, the Seahawks’ all-time tackles leader with 1,383, is coming off a 170-tackle season that earned him his eighth Pro Bowl nod in 10 seasons. He posted that personal best despite missing all but one snap of the final two games with a knee sprain.
While Wagner didn’t make as many impact plays as in some of his best seasons, he recorded an interception, a sack, a forced fumble and five passes defended in 2021 en route to a second-team All-Pro selection.
In 2020, Wagner was one of 22 defenders named by the Pro Football Hall of Fame to the All-Decade Team for the 2010s. His Hall of Fame-worthy résumé also includes six first-team All-Pro selections, two second-team All-Pro selections and eight Pro Bowls nods, tied for second most in franchise history.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Upholding a Trump-era environmental policy, the Environmental Protection Agency said Thursday it will not regulate a drinking water contaminant that has been linked to brain damage in infants.
The agency said the Trump administration's decision in 2020 not to regulate perchlorate in drinking water was made with the “best available peer reviewed science.” The chemical is used in rocket fuel and fireworks.
At the time, Trump's EPA said perchlorate was not found widely enough in drinking water or "at levels of public health concern" to warrant federal regulation. The decision was one of many Trump-era rollbacks or eliminations of existing or pending public health and environmental protections. The Biden administration ordered a review of that decision at the start of his term.
EPA Assistant Administrator Radhika Fox said the agency was “applying the right tools to support public health protections.”
Environmental groups slammed the Biden administration’s decision.
“The Trump EPA gave perchlorate a pass; it was a bad decision then, and it’s a bad decision now,” said Erik Olson of the Natural Resources Defense Council advocacy group. “Tap water across America will remain contaminated by this toxic chemical.”
Perchlorate from runoff contaminates the drinking water of as many as 16 million Americans, the Obama administration said in 2011 when it announced the EPA would for the first time set maximum limits for the chemical compound. It has been used in the U.S. for decades, particularly by the military and defense industries, and is commonly found in munitions, fireworks, matches and signal flares.
Exposure to the compound can damage the development of fetuses and children and cause measurable drops in IQ in newborns, the American Academy of Pediatrics said in 2019, when it called for stringent federal limits. It damages human development by disrupting the functioning of the thyroid gland.
In its 2020 review, the EPA said state-level regulations and cleanup activities at contaminated sites had lowered the health risks posed by the compound. Massachusetts and California, for example, limit perchlorate in drinking water to 2 parts per billion and 6 parts per billion, respectively.
“But the problem is that for the rest of the country the states have not set standards,” said Olson of the Natural Resources Defense Council.
In the Southwest, perchlorate has been detected in groundwater that entered Lake Mead in Nevada. Manufacturing activities in Henderson, Nevada, were thought to be the source of the chemical. The EPA said cleanup activities at two industrial sites near Las Vegas between 2002 and 2006 resulted in reduced levels of perchlorate in samples provided since then by Nevada environmental and water agencies.
The EPA said Thursday it was considering other steps besides a federal drinking water limit, such as setting standards at open burning and detonation sites of waste explosives, where severe perchlorate contamination is known to exist.
But environmental advocates said such measures fall short of what's needed.
“Simply put, toxic chemicals used in rocket fuel do not belong in our drinking water," said John Rumpler, senior attorney with Environment America.

“The Trump EPA gave perchlorate a pass; it was a bad decision then, and it’s a bad decision now,” said Erik Olson of the Natural Resources Defense Council advocacy group. “Tap water across America will remain contaminated by this toxic chemical.”
Perchlorate from runoff contaminates the drinking water of as many as 16 million Americans, the Obama administration said in 2011 when it announced the EPA would for the first time set maximum limits for the chemical compound. It has been used in the U.S. for decades, particularly by the military and defense industries, and is commonly found in munitions, fireworks, matches and signal flares.
Exposure to the compound can damage the development of fetuses and children and cause measurable drops in IQ in newborns, the American Academy of Pediatrics said in 2019, when it called for stringent federal limits. It damages human development by disrupting the functioning of the thyroid gland.
In its 2020 review, the EPA said state-level regulations and cleanup activities at contaminated sites had lowered the health risks posed by the compound. Massachusetts and California, for example, limit perchlorate in drinking water to 2 parts per billion and 6 parts per billion, respectively.
“But the problem is that for the rest of the country the states have not set standards,” said Olson of the Natural Resources Defense Council. He said the compound is in “the top tier of problematic chemicals in our water.”
In the Southwest, perchlorate has been detected in groundwater that entered Lake Mead in Nevada. Manufacturing facilities in Henderson, Nevada, were the source of the chemical. The EPA said cleanup activities at two industrial sites in the state between 2002 and 2006 resulted in reduced levels of perchlorate in data provided since then by Nevada environmental and water agencies.
The EPA said Thursday it was considering other steps besides a federal drinking water limit, such as setting standards at open burning and detonation sites, where severe perchlorate contamination is generated from the burning of hazardous byproducts from weapons manufacturing and munitions. One such site is in Colfax, Louisiana, where environmentalists have long advocated for reform.
But environmental advocates said such measures fall short of what's needed.
“Simply put, toxic chemicals used in rocket fuel do not belong in our drinking water," said John Rumpler, senior attorney with Environment America.

Marvel Cinematic Universe's latest superhero is not, in the conventional sense, either "super" or a "hero," but he does have an unorthodox ailment and a weird skill-set to separate him from mere mortals. His name is Morbius, and while watching his origin story, you may get the feeling that somewhere in the cinematic multiverse, wires got crossed.
The film begins with a helicopter, transporting a cage to the sort of mist-shrouded isle you half expect King Kong to be inhabiting. But Dr. Michael Morbius (Jared Leto) is looking to capture smaller game as he approaches the mouth of a cave, hobbling with difficulty on two crutch-like canes.
Positioning himself behind the wires of the cage, he slices open the palm of his hand and, as a roar of batwings echoes from inside the cave, murmurs to the copter pilot "if you're gonna run, do it now."
A rare blood disease treated with a bit o' bat
It's tempting to say "consider yourself warned," but the film's first hour or so, while unremarkable, is decently crafted.
Born with a rare blood disease, Michael Morbius has spent his entire life working on two things — a cure, and origami paper-folding. Natch, it occurs to him to fold together bat and human DNA.
Because the FDA would be unlikely to approve human trials, he and his beautiful co-researcher Martine (Adria Arjona) head in a cargo ship for international waters off the coast of Long Island in the company of eight thuggish mercenaries — think bloodbags — and once Morbius has been injected with bat DNA, it's just a matter of time before things go vampiric.
Let it be said that some side-effects from dabbling in "chiropter-y" are less ghastly than others. Bat DNA evidently gives you great cheekbones and abs to go with increased strength and speed.
Less salutary effects include new fangs that sprout from his gums with decades of decay baked in, and claws that erupt from his fingers pre-filthed. I mean, sure...why not? Except this is a man whose hair has the kind of sheen that comes from brushing it three times a day.
One other thing: he now needs to drink human blood every six hours. Happily, on his way to declining a Nobel Prize, Dr. Morbius invented "artificial blood," though that only fools his system for a while.
Color coded smoke effects for a Jekyll and his Hyde
If you're expecting a conventional Marvel movie, you should be aware going in that what Director Daniel Espinoza and his writers have come up with is more a horror flick with Marvel bells and whistles.
That means Leto's Morbius gets purplish smoke effects to go with those fang-baring snarls as he's riding air currents in subway tunnels, while the similarly afflicted Hyde to his Jekyll – a schoolboy chum played as an adult by an amusingly hopped-up Matt Smith, gets blue-ish vapor trails and snappier lines.
But there isn't much tension to their story. Or logic. At one point, Morbius overhears some counterfeiters passing fake $100s, and commandeers their printing press to make what appears to be an artificial-blood machine — because the technologies for fake-bills and fake-blood match up? Maybe that works better in a comic book.
Bat guys everywhere you look
Speaking of which, when the DC Extended Universe first announced that Twilight star Robert Pattinson would play the lead in The Batman in their corner of the superhero multiverse, it seemed like a nice inside joke — from Vampire-teen to Bat-man. But now that the Marvelverse has Leto going full Dracula, it seems as if the casting maybe could've gone the other way 'round.
Leto is as persuasively haunted by the dark side of vigilantism as Pattinson was, and as a result of corporate positioning, is maybe more determined to avoid being a villain. Not unlike Venom, Morbius was a bad guy when he first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man comics, back in the 1970's. He needs to be at least an anti-hero now, if a franchise is to be built around him.
But bad guy/bat guy...who's to say? As the trailers reveal, another DC bat-guy, Michael Keaton, shows up in his non-batty baddie Marvel persona Adrian Toomes, just to mess with the heads of anyone trying to keep cinematic universes straight.
But bloodlines will have to be clarified in more robust "Morbius" episodes to come, this origin story being merely adequate, and by Marvel standards, slightly anemic.

ANGOLA N.Y. (WIVB) — It was a big day for students at Lake Shore High School who are learning how to navigate the real world. The school held its first in-person career fair in two years since the pandemic.
“Two years ago, a year ago, it wouldn’t have happened. It would’ve been virtual and as anyone could tell you, yourself. This wouldn’t have been the same,” said Jeffrey Connors, who’s the student government adviser at Lake Shore High School.
Students met employers and college reps from more than 50 local companies and institutions to see their options after graduation.
“They’re exposed to not only the colleges that were here but they’re exposed to the various trade unions and occupations,” Connors said.
“High schools need to embrace college and career readiness. It’s not just going to be a one pathway process anymore and we need to educate our youth on those pathways,” said Steven Brown, who’s a counselor at the school.
Students grades 9-12 made their way to each booth at the fair to learn about various trade jobs like construction and carpentry, to service jobs such as the navy, and meet with local colleges and universities.
“We have to provide that linkage to those opportunities because not everyone does go right on to college after high school,” Brown said. “They might find their niche in a trade or in an apprenticeship program and the more information students have, the better decisions they will make.”
“There’s so many different options and there’s so many things I’m interested in. This has really helped learn about those opportunities that I have and what I can do,” said Dylan Repertorio, who’s a junior at Lake Shore High School.
“Especially me being a sophomore in high school, a lot of me and my friends don’t really know what we want to do or where to go,” said Lauren Smith. “Some of us know we want to be a lawyer or a doctor but we don’t really know how to take those steps.”
The Northland Workforce and Training Center, located in buffalo, is currently working with the school district on a partnership for students who want to enter a skilled trade. Kasumu Jamil, who’s an outreach specialist at Northland said said he was impressed with how eager the students were.
“The students were amazing, they were very very engaging,” he said. “They came up to me, they had questions prepared to ask me and asking what is it that they need to do next in order to be successful after they graduate from high school.”

No one goes crazy over commercials, and certainly not in games. But more often than not it is a major revenue source for a developing company, which then allows it to offer the game for free or at a lower price than its competitors. The Israeli startup Aznu.io, which has developed a platform for organic and non-invasive advertisements within the games, announced a new financing round and several new partnerships.
Instead of pop-ups, have commercials that fit in just the right place
Anzu offers a system that integrates advertisements naturally within the gaming world. We are already familiar with regular computer game advertisements, but Anzu wants to put them somewhere else. Instead of throwing pop-ups and annoying sponsorships at you, Anzu wants to place relevant advertisements within the virtual real estate within the game. That is, you walk with your character on the street in the open world, and on top of the bus stop, or by the racetrack, ads are displayed, just like ads in real life. Like the modern advertising systems of Facebook and Google alike, Anzu also allows advertisers to target their audience, and reach the most relevant audience– instead of firing in all directions.
As you can see from Anzu’s highly respected list of investors, the company does not only target commercials for free mobile games– it recently signed collaborations agreements with Ubisoft, Unity and also implemented its system in the super-popular kids game, Roblox. If you’re a gamer, there is a reasonable chance that you are currently slouching in your gaming chair. So, we asked Itamar Benedy, CEO and co-founder of Anzu, about how they would incorporate their advertising method for an audience that does not like to see advertisements in the games they have paid for. "Our goal at Anzu is to put the gamer first," Benedy claims.
“Our ads are aimed at complementing the game experience and not oppressing the player. To ensure that we always remain gamer-friendly, we conduct panel research and have a continuous dialogue with players to understand their experience from the game.” Benedy also claims that the company's ads are not clickable, to avoid distractions from the game. Moreover, in a study conducted in the UK and U.S., it was found that 70% of gamers prefer this method of advertising over others.
And what about advertising on Roblox? Isn't it problematic to push commercials for children?
Benedy: “Roblox is committed to strict compliance with the GDPR and COPPA laws, is a member of the kidSAFE Seal Program and obtains periodic approval from the FTC. The result of these compliance measures is that it gives advertisers peace of mind because they can be sure that all content (including advertisements) undergoes a rigorous testing process and is not approved unless it is safe for advertising for children. In addition, our advertisers at Roblox are individually selected for each game in which they appear."
Anzu.io was founded in 2016 by Itamar Benedy, the company's CEO; Michael Badichi, CTO; and Ben Fenster, VP of Product. The company employs about 90 people, most of them working in the company's development center in Israel. Their new $20 million funding round was led by NBCUniversal and former smartphone maker and VR glasses Taiwan’s HTC. In addition, several other superstars participated in the round, such as the Sony Innovation Fund, BITKRAFT Ventures, HBSE Ventures, Alumni Ventures, the Chicago Cubs baseball team, Goal Ventures and Marc Merrill, president and founder of Riot Games, the company behind the League of Legend. | https://www.geektime.com/anzu-io-raises-20m-from-nbcuniversal/ | 2022-04-01T01:30:10Z |
