Ten years ago China was shaken by the arrest and downfall of leading CCP princeling Bo Xilai. Bo was one of the most well-known political figures in China, using his office as CCP leader of Chongqing as a platform to project himself as an alternative to the central leadership. Bo Xilai was brought down not primarily because of corruption, which applies in all cases of disgraced or purged officials, but as a key figure in internal CCP power struggles.
2012 was a tumultuous year around the world, with revolutionary upheavals in the Arab World. The Chinese regime feared that a similar process could develop at home. The internal CCP struggles in 2012 saw the rise of Xi Jinping and a radically different direction in policy – towards an unprecedented personal concentration of power, nationalism and harsher authoritarian rule. Ironically, these were all features of Bo Xilai’s rule and revival of “red culture” in Chongqing.
Bo Xilai generated many illusions among Maoists in China who saw him as a progressive alternative to the then Hu-Wen leadership and even as an enemy of the CCP’s capitalist orientation. But in reality he did not stand for such an alternative. The newly launched Maoist Communist Party even held a conference in Chongqing looking to Bo as their flag bearer, but the participants were all arrested.
Here we are republishing two articles from chinaworker.info in 2012. Some processes have become much clearer in the aftermath of these events and others have developed in ways we did not and could not foresee at that time. Still, the major points of our 2012 analysis have been confirmed by subsequent developments.
China: The fall of Bo Xilai
For the first time in two decades an open power struggle erupts within China’s one-party state
Editorial statement by chinaworker.info
Dramatic events are unfolding as China’s once-in-a-decade leadership transition gets underway. A serious schism in the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) top ranks has come into full public view – something unprecedented since the mass anti-government protests of 1989. Bo Xilai, standard-bearer of the neo-Maoist ‘new left’, has been dismissed as provincial party chief of Chongqing.
While dramatic, these developments are not completely unexpected. As we explained last year on chinaworker.info, “Still, the [populist] campaign of Bo is an important development signifying that the relative cohesion of the ruling group – in public at least – since the 1989 Beijing massacre is beginning to unravel.” (China: Repression or ‘reform’?, chinaworker.info 11 July 2011).
Bo’s exit follows a major scandal resulting in the arrest of his former right-hand man, Wang Lijun, who until six weeks ago was vice-mayor and police chief of Chongqing. Wang has been labelled a ‘traitor’ by the regime after what was possibly a defection attempt at the US Consulate in Chengdu on 6 February. He is also widely suspected of corruption. “The Wang Lijun saga has evolved into one of the biggest political scandals over the past 60 years,” argues political commentator Chen Ziming. The fall of both men is part of a wider power struggle within the regime, rather than merely an anti-corruption ‘clean up’.
Beijing tilts to the right
The Washington Post describes the purging of Bo Xilai as a “stinging defeat” for China’s neo-Maoists. His fall undoubtedly marks a strengthening of the proponents of economic ‘reform’ (market liberalism) within the commanding group against the nationalist and state interventionist ‘left’, although to leave matters there would mean simplifying what is an extremely complex power struggle.
“This is an earthquake before the 18th Party Congress,” said scholar Wu Jiaxiang, referring to the autumn meeting at which a new leadership will take over from the current team led by Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao. Premier Wen is the main proponent of ‘reform’ within the regime, and his blistering attack – without naming Bo – on the “Chongqing party committee” made on live television from Wednesday’s closing scene at the 10-day National People’s Congress (NPC), presaged Bo’s formal dismissal, which followed a few hours later. Another prominent figure in the reform camp is Guangdong party boss Wang Yang, seen publicly as the nemesis of Bo Xilai (much energy has been expended debating the rival Guangdong and Chongqing models). Wang’s slogan is “small government, great society”.
Wang’s chances of promotion at the autumn congress have clearly been boosted by Bo’s sudden demise, but also by Wang’s perceived role in brokering a peaceful settlement to the Wukan conflict. Wukan, where villagers achieved tentative concessions through well-organised mass struggle, has been hi-jacked for publicity and factional purposes by Wang and the reform wing. Despite well-publicised elections earlier this month that resulted in protest leaders winning positions in Wukan’s village committee, state repression, surveillance and threats especially against youth activists, are on the increase inside the village.
‘Revolution’ warning
In the same speech that lambasted Chongqing over the Wang Lijun affair, Wen warned, “Without the success of political structural reform… a historical tragedy like the Cultural Revolution could occur again.” These comments reflect the deep insecurity of the ruling group and their fear of revolutionary upheavals given China’s widening wealth gap and mounting popular discontent. But it is today’s events in Egypt, Russia, and the US ‘Occupy’ movement, rather than a repeat of the chaotic 1960s, that really terrifies China’s elite. An incredible opinion poll conducted in seven cities during the NPC meeting by the English-language Global Times, a top government mouthpiece, showed that almost half the population (49.4 percent) believed China was “close” or “maybe close” to a revolution.
“In [Wen’s] nine years in office, China’s electricity generation has tripled, its steel production has quadrupled and the number of cars and trucks manufactured each year has increased nearly sixfold,” noted the South China Morning Post (14 March 2012). But as this newspaper then added, “China’s Gini coefficient, a widely followed measure of income inequality, has shot up from a level similar to America’s when Wen took over, to a level today closer to Swaziland’s.”
Wen’s public attack on the Chongqing model and the decision to purge Bo, reflect a consensus within the top group of state leaders including not just president Hu Jintao, an opponent of Bo, but also Bo’s ally Zhou Yongkang, who is China’s top security official, and president-in-waiting Xi Jinping. Both Xi and Bo are princelings – the sons of former top party officials who enjoy inherited privileges within the party-state apparatus.
Factional struggles
There are some earlier precedents for the removal of a senior provincial leader in this fashion. In 2006, Chen Liangyu the party boss of Shanghai was sacked and subsequently sentenced to 18 years imprisonment for corruption. This was part of an internal power struggle between the ‘Shanghai gang’ of ex-president Jiang Zemin and ‘Tuanpai faction’ of Hu Jintao, who’s move against Chen was aimed at curbing the powers of the former, and affording greater freedom of action to Hu himself.
In general, and this also seems to apply in Bo’s case, purges at senior level are achieved through negotiations and horse-trading between the factions. Chen was replaced as head of Shanghai’s party apparatus by a factional ally – Xi Jinping. A delicate balance must be maintained to prevent an all-out factional war erupting. For this reason, it is vice-premier Zhang Dejiang, who like Bo is a protégé of ex-president Jiang, who takes over as head of Chongqing’s government. Thus factional ‘balance’ is maintained.
But Bo’s case is of a different order to the Shanghai purge of 2006, involving someone who is famous on the national stage and with a considerable base of support outside the government apparatus. After Hu and Wen, Bo is unquestionably the most well known political figure in China. He has used his control of Chongqing as a platform to conduct the nearest thing to an election campaign within the framework of the authoritarian state. The Chongqing model (examined below) has been massively hyped by Bo to back up his quest for a seat on the nine-member Politburo Standing Committee, which is the summit of power within the Chinese state.
That dream is almost certainly over for Bo, based on the current balance of forces. But Bo’s removal can trigger important and unforeseen political repercussions. This is especially the case within the neo-Maoist ‘new left’, most of whom still harbour illusions in the CCP-state and adore Bo, while opposing today’s “neo-liberal capitalist” leadership. At the time of writing, Maoist online groups are calling for protesters to go to Chongqing. Security forces in all major cities have been placed on alert and PAP (paramilitary) units have been moved from Hubei province to Chongqing – signs that the regime does not rule out the possibility of protests. Even if no such street protests materialise, the removal of Bo raises the prospect of a more turbulent and infected leadership transition process.
Much is still unclear, and much will remain murky given the nature of CCP internal power games. But the timing of Bo’s dismissal was also remarkable. Senior party figures were informed of Bo’s dismissal late on Wednesday night (14 March) as the NPC ended. A one-line announcement was issued the next morning by the official Xinhua news agency.
It is possible that the decision to purge Bo was not taken until very late in the NPC proceedings, after he hosted a packed press conference on Friday 9 March, at which he pledged to continue the Chongqing model. This lack of humility – further evidence of Bo’s independent style – undoubtedly angered the central leadership. Further measures against Bo, including criminal charges, cannot be excluded given the ongoing investigation of Wang Lijun, which is pregnant with political surprises. But this will mainly depend on the logic of the power struggle, not on the strength – or lack thereof – of any evidence implicating Bo.
The NPC meeting showed that Bo still enjoys significant support within the state apparatus, including the military. This speaks against any further measures. It is instead possible Bo will keep his Politburo seat (not to be confused with the more powerful Politburo Standing Committee) and may be shunted to a ceremonial position elsewhere within the state. As one commentator said a “soft landing” looks possible for Bo.
Strike against the ‘left’
In a parallel development, to limit protests over Bo’s removal, four left-leaning (neo-Maoist) websites were closed down by the authorities. This therefore represents a broader attack on the ‘nationalist left’ or ‘new left’ by the central party leadership, not just on Bo’s person.
The websites under attack include the influential Maoist site Utopia, which sometimes carries articles from chinaworker.info and the CWI (Committee for a Workers’ International), but nonetheless represents a very different, and increasingly nationalistic, political standpoint from our own. Notwithstanding these political differences, we unreservedly protest against this undemocratic crackdown, which also exposes the emptiness of talk about ‘political reform’ and openness from Wen and the CCP’s liberal wing.
Maoist groupings like those around Utopia have acted as cheerleaders for Bo Xilai, despite the lack of anything concrete to suggest he represents a real alternative to the current pro-capitalist leadership. Some neo-Maoists have hailed Chongqing as a “liberated zone within a capitalist China” and the “Yan’an of the century” (a reference to the area of northern China under CCP control during the civil war).
Chongqing model – myth and reality
But as CWI supporter Zhang Shujie, who comes from Chongqing, points out, “The so-called Chongqing model seems to hold more attraction for people outside Chongqing, looking and hoping for an alternative to the CCP’s capitalist policies, than for people who live there. Bo Xilai’s government has not been fundamentally different to the CCP elsewhere, but he has a populist style which alarms the leadership. In fact, foreign investment has increased faster than any other province under Bo’s rule and his government has adopted one of the most radical programmes for privatising farm land.”
Apart from Bo’s ‘red culture’ campaign, involving choirs singing Mao-era songs (but significantly not The Internationale which is identified with anti-government protests, as in 1989), and text messages with Mao quotations, his policies have more in common with ‘social democracy’ than Maoism. Bo has promoted “social fairness and market economics” and “modern communitarian values that resonate with Chinese culture’s Confucian roots,” according to his supporter, Shanghai-based venture capitalist Eric Li.
Pointing out that Bo suffered during the Cultural Revolution (his family were imprisoned for five years) the Financial Times (Red Alert, 3 June 2011) concluded that his invocation of Maoist themes “is more about style than substance – an attempt to tap into a sense of nostalgia by resurrecting the trappings of Maoism without reviving any of the disastrous policies associated with it.”
Without taking any responsibility for Mao’s bureaucratic policies, we would point out this newspaper’s viewpoint is typically distorted: clearly the “sense of nostalgia” for the Mao years must be based on something – and that is a very understandable backlash against the “disastrous policies” of today’s CCP, which include privatising healthcare, schooling and housing, with a concomitant surge in inequality.
Chongqing is the largest city in Western China, and has experienced one of the strongest GDP growth rates of all provinces, reaching 16.4 percent last year. Since 2007, when Bo took the helm, the share of Chongqing’s GDP coming from the private sector has risen from just 25 percent to 60 percent. Chongqing’s mayor and Bo sidekick, Huang Qifan, who looks (for now at least) as if he will keep his job, famously said of these policies, “We are pursuing the Reagan-Thatcher model of the 1980s.” Clearly, therefore, the Chongqing model does not represent an anti-capitalist alternative.
Populist and authoritarian
Supporters of Bo Xilai point to social reforms such as the public housing plan, launched in 2010, to build 800,000 low-cost units for low-income families squeezed out of the mass housing market, which is almost entirely privatised. Even this programme, however, falls far short of a genuine plan to house the needy. Since last year, the central government has launched its own mega-plan for public housing, taking its cue (unaccredited of course) from Chongqing. The national plan is reproducing on a larger scale all the deficiencies of the Chongqing prototype.
Critics say Chongqing’s new public housing units are too small and too far away from the city. They resemble “dormitories for individual workers, rather than permanent housing for urban families,” claimed a report by research firm GaveKal Dragonomics, entitled Chongqing’s Public Housing Predicament. The aim of the projects was to attract investors to build factories near Chongqing rather than provide decent housing, this report concluded.
Bo’s policies can be summarised as limited social populism combined with authoritarianism. “Some of his supporters see him as the Vladimir Putin of China. Mr Bo is a populist with an iron fist,” commented The Economist, predicting he could become police chief in the central government. (China’s new leaders, 23 June 2011).
Perhaps more significant than the ‘red culture’ campaign in propelling Bo into the national spotlight, was his controversial ‘smash the black’ anti-gang crackdown. This campaign, spearheaded by the now disgraced Wang Lijun, led to 2,000 arrests, 500 prosecutions, and 13 executions, including the former top judicial official of Chongqing, Wen Qiang. The extent of gangster control in China’s cities left many aghast at the audacity and ruthlessness of the Chongqing authorities’ campaign.
It was estimated that criminal syndicates (known in China as triads) employed 200,000 people in Chongqing. As in other cities, organised crime had penetrated the police force and the government and, in Chongqing, enjoyed the protection of Wen Qiang. An important factor in Bo’s anti-crime drive was to embarrass his factional rival Wang Yang, who preceded Bo as Chongqing’s party chief before moving to Guangdong. By implication, Wang had tolerated ‘the black’ during his tenure. Not surprisingly, the apparent success of the Chongqing campaign irritated many in the central leadership. Allegations of torture, forced confessions, and ignoring ‘due process’ have surfaced, becoming a factor in the downfall of both Wang Lijun and Bo Xilai.
Why was Bo purged?
The most important reasons for the dismissal of Bo flow from the nature of the Chinese regime and the fear of a mounting backlash to its capitalist-restorationist policies. It was distrust of Bo’s unpredictable methods, rather than any alleged alternative political or economic platform, that brought him down.
As we explained previously on chinaworker.info: “China manifests a peculiar form of ‘Bonapartism’ – by committee, rather than in the person of a ‘strongman’. This too is not accidental. The experience of Mao’s rule and also Deng Xiaoping’s, with erratic swings and accompanying social upheavals, produced the current ‘compromise’ system in which the powers of the leading group are subject to ‘checks and balances’ realised through an exhaustive process of negotiations and trade-offs between factions, provincial governments, and business-based clans.” (China: Repression or ‘reform’?, 11 July 2011, https://chinaworker.info/en/content/news/1507/)
Bo Xilai attempted for reasons of his own pursuit of power to bypass this rigid system. Unchecked, this could have set a dangerous example for others to follow. Susan Shirk, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State under Bill Clinton, offered this view: “Bo’s open campaigning for power, and his use of the media to mobilize popular support, shattered the facade of unity at the top of the party. That campaigning, not any of the things he did in Chongqing, was the reason they had to get rid of him. Ever since Tiananmen Square [the 1989 revolt] they have tried to keep leadership in a black box.”
The princelings
Bo is a princeling, the son of Bi Yibo, one of ‘the eight immortals’ who helped Deng Xiaoping launch China’s pro-market turn in the years following Mao’s death. In today’s class-ridden China, the princelings are the new nobility, with vast inherited power and wealth. Bo, as Time magazine (25 July 2011) commented, “is hardly a revolutionary: he favours luxury cars and suits and sent his son to Harrow [an elite private school in England] and Oxford [university]”. The younger Bo, a third-generation princeling, joined Oxford’s Adam Smith Institute.
The princelings have acquired enormous power in China’s ‘state capitalist’ economy, both in private business and as heads of powerful state monopoly enterprises, which are often run as clan fiefdoms. As a Wikileaks report revealed, based on a 2009 cable from the US embassy in Beijing, it was “well known” that former Chinese premier Li Peng and his family controlled China’s electric power interests, while the country’s police chief Zhou Yongkang controlled the state monopoly of the oil sector. The wife of China’s premier Wen Jiabao is said to control China’s precious gems sector, the cable stated.
The ‘party of princelings’ enjoys great influence within the CCP, but more as a network of family-based loyalties than a political faction. Xi Jinping and Bo Xilai are both princelings but Xi is seen as an economic liberal, for example when he ran Zhejiang province, seen as a stronghold of private capitalism in China. But tensions within the CCP between the princelings and other officials are becoming sharper. The same Wikileaks report claimed that princeling officials derided officials from grassroots backgrounds as ‘shopkeepers’.
The ‘Tuanpai’ party faction around president Hu Jintao (which takes its name from the Communist Youth League from where many of its members originate), wants to limit the power of the princelings who form the core of the ‘vested interests’ seen as blocking ‘reform’. The moves against Bo therefore also reflect an attempt by Hu and the ‘Tuanpai’ to weaken princeling influence ahead of the autumn succession. Xi, a princeling, will replace Hu as party chief and next year also as president. This was decided at the last congress in 2007, and represented a setback for Hu’s faction, whose preferred candidate was Hu protégé Li Keqiang. Li will instead assume Wen’s responsibilities as Premier, a lesser role.
The seat that Bo seemed set to take on the Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) will now almost certainly be taken by another supporter of ex-president Jiang (another princeling), possibly Bo’s successor in Chongqing, Zhang Dejiang. But Bo’s dismissal is undoubtedly also indirectly aimed at checking the ‘party of princelings’ and their designs on the new leadership, especially the nine-member PSC. The implications of this conflict therefore go beyond the rise or fall of the Chongqing model. As the global capitalist crisis deepens and China’s economy falters, sharp divisions within the party-state will increasingly burst into the open. Making an example of Bo Xilai will not repair the facade of ‘party unity’ other than perhaps for a temporary period.
Economic ‘reform’
The recent NPC meeting was “a house of representatives of officials and businesspeople” according to Wang Guixi, a professor at the Central Party School in Beijing. As reported on chinaworker.info last week, the richest 70 NPC members – with an astonishing combined wealth of 565.8 billion yuan (US$85 billion) – are more than ten times wealthier than the 535 members of the US government, Congress, and Supreme Court. Internet commentators called the NPC session a “wealth-showing-off-party” and published photos of the luxury goods adorning various delegates. The chairman of Evergrande Real Estate Group, Xu Jiayin, was spotted wearing a 6,000 yuan waist belt – almost a year’s income for the average farmer (6.977 yuan). The daughter of former premier Li Peng (the Butcher of Beijing), Li Xiaolin, who is CEO of China Power International Development, was photographed in a pink Emilio Pucci suit valued at 12,000 yuan.
In his two-hour opening work report, Premier Wen used the word ‘reform’ 70 times. But rather than political reform (which he did mention in his attack on Bo Xilai ten days later), Wen was referring only to economic so-called ‘reform’, which is code for more pro-capitalist measures.
Prior to the NPC, a joint report by the World Bank and several Chinese government agencies was unveiled, calling for sweeping deregulation, privatization and break-up of state monopolies. This 470-page document is remarkable not just for its proposals, unlikely ever to be fully realised, but because of the degree of coordination between the World Bank, in which China is now the third largest shareholder, and the Beijing regime. The full title of the report, China 2030: Building a Modern, Harmonious, and Creative High Income Society, gives the game away. The word ‘harmonious’ is a buzzword of Hu Jintao’s and unlikely to have originated from outside of the CCP. Notably, the word ‘democracy’ is not mentioned once in the document.
The conclusions of this document, rightly slammed as a ‘neo-liberal manifesto’ by left commentators, were echoed by Premier Wen in his work report to the NPC. He promised to “break up monopolies” and bring more “non-governmental investment in railways, public utilities, finance, energy, telecommunications, education and medical care”. Wen again pledged greater support for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). A recurring theme at the NPC meeting was the need for tax cuts on businesses and to boost the spending of the middle-class. It remains to be seen how much of this renewed push for economic ‘restructuring and reform’ materialises. But what is clear is that the CCP leaders are deeply alarmed by the real economic situation in China, hidden behind the dazzle of its GDP figures. The debt mountain accumulated especially by local governments since the massive 2008 stimulus package (see chart above – although the full scale of this indebtedness may be much worse than official figures suggest), means they must attempt to break from the current economic model with its crushing dependence on debt-financed investment, which is also creating monumental overcapacity. The crisis in the housing market is one sign of wider problems, with the current value of vacant properties being held by developers and speculators worth over 100 percent of China’s GDP.
The reform camp want to ‘unleash the dragon’ of consumer spending to reduce the economy’s lopsided dependence on exports and investment. But China’s anaemic consumption-to-GDP ratio (far lower than in Brazil, India and Russia) flows from its current economic model, based on low-wage, low-tech and low-profit manufacturing and assembly. To shift away from this model they want to subject the state-owned giants to greater competition from private capital, opening up former monopoly sectors while not relinquishing control fully. The government is considering legalising the underground banks and liberalizing interest rates (allowing banks to set so-called market rates) in order for capital to be allocated ‘more efficiently’ (i.e. where profits are highest). Such classical liberal economic nostrums are the best the current CCP leaders can come up with, despite the evident failure of these ideas in practise everywhere around the world.
These policies are a recipe for massive social unrest, as many NPC delegates openly recognised. To sugar this nasty pill, the government, again echoing the World Bank report, pledges to step up provision of medical insurance, pensions, and other rudimentary forms of welfare, all of which – in theory – should spur more consumer spending. But such promises have been made before, with few real improvements reaching the mass of poor Chinese. It is not the central government, which for example only funds around one-tenth of the cost of the country’s healthcare, but local governments that must fund any expansion of social security and welfare spending. But as we have seen, these local governments are grappling with an unprecedented debt overhang.
Political reform?
When Wen and his supporters speak of ‘political reform’ and this being ‘inseparable from’ economic reform, they are not speaking about elections, freedom of association, the right to strike, or other democratic freedoms. With views not radically different from Bo Xilai and the neo-authoritarian wing of the CCP, the reformers want to preserve the one-party dictatorship, while making ‘improvements’. A gradualist and controlled approach reflects the deep-seated fears of the Chinese elite of ‘chaos’ should the masses be allowed to engage in politics. Their main focus, rather than democracy, is a more independent judiciary (so called rule of law), greater press freedoms, and a bigger role for (approved) NGOs.
The aim of such measures is to exert pressure – by select groups rather than the masses – upon government and government-owned companies to reduce corruption and abuses. Rather than democracy of any description, this is about giving private economic interests greater possibilities to challenge and compete with state-owned ‘vested interests’ and in this way compel the latter to adopt more efficient, market-based, less corrupt, practices. Again, this is a chimera. Capitalist regimes everywhere, of both the democratic and authoritarian type, have shown themselves incapable of using society’s resources in a rational way. If the liberal refomers are right, why are European and US capitalism in deep crisis today?
Beijing’s attempts ahead of the leadership transition to talk up its reform ambitions are therefore clearly linked to the purge of Bo Xilai, and the blow thus delivered to the ‘new left’. Zhang Ming, a political science professor at Beijing’s Renmin University told the Washington Post: “The Chongqing model is also over, and the chance of [China] turning leftward is finished.”
The last part of this statement will be disproved by events, and sooner rather than later, with inevitable and massive leftward shifts among the masses. In contrast to the neo-Maoists who saw Bo’s policies as an alternative to the capitalist policies of the central government, Marxists and the supporters of chinaworker.info stress the need for a genuine left alternative. For this we must look outside the corrupt business-dominated structures of the CCP and all its factions. There can be no illusions in either the ‘reformers’ of the Wen Jiabao-Wang Yang School or the authoritarian ‘left’ of Bo Xilai.
An alternative must be built from below and based on mass grassroots struggle, not on the cult of a ‘new Mao’. It must learn from and interact with international workers’ struggles, eschewing the Great China nationalism of sections of the neo-Maoist left. A real alternative requires the building of a fighting working class party committed to socialism and genuine grassroots democracy. This is what the supporters of the CWI are fighting for.

Extending the rebound seen over the past few sessions, treasuries showed another move to the upside during trading on Thursday.
Bond prices fluctuated after an early advance but managed to remain in positive territory. Subsequently, the yield on the benchmark ten-year note, which moves opposite of its price, fell by 3.1 basis points to 2.327 percent.
The ten-year yield moved lower for the fourth straight day, continuing to give back ground after reaching its highest closing level since May 2019 last Friday.
The continued rebound by treasuries came after a reading on inflation said to be preferred by the Federal Reserve showed the annual rate of core consumer price growth accelerated to 5.4 percent in February from 5.2 percent in January.
While the annual rate of growth reached its highest level since April 1983, the jump was slightly smaller than the 5.5 percent expected by economists.
Traders may also have looked to the safe haven of bonds ahead of the release of the Labor Department’s closely watched monthly employment report on Friday.
Economists currently expect the report to show employment jumped by 490,000 jobs in March after surging by 678,000 jobs in February. The unemployment rate is expected to edge down to 3.7 percent from 3.8 percent.
The jobs data could impact expectations regarding how quickly the Federal Reserve plans to raise interest rates in the months ahead.
A day ahead of the release of the closely watched monthly jobs report, the Labor Department released a report on Thursday showing a modest increase in first-time claims for U.S. unemployment benefits in the week ended March 26th.
The report showed initial jobless claims edged up to 202,000, an increase of 14,000 from the previous week’s revised level of 188,000.
Economists had expected jobless claims to inch up to 197,000 from the 187,000 originally reported for the previous week.
The monthly jobs report is likely to be in the spotlight on Friday, overshadowing reports on manufacturing activity and construction spending.

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.localdvm.com/news/us-and-world/elementary-students-locked-in-isolation-room-as-discipline-administrator-says/ | 2022-04-01T01:32:15Z |
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.”

Oregon State has won two of three games in each of its first three Pac-12 baseball series, putting the Beavers tied with Arizona and one game back of Oregon in the conference standings with a long way to go in the regular-season schedule.
OSU (19-5, 6-3) is coming off a two-game nonconference midweek road sweep of Nevada in Reno and will host Stanford in a three-game set that begins at 6 p.m. Friday at Goss Stadium.
The series continues with first pitches at 3:30 p.m. Saturday and noon Sunday.
Sophomore left-hander Cooper Hjerpe has been the Beavers’ Friday night starting pitcher in the each of the first three conference series. In those three games, Hjerpe has allowed 13 hits, six earned runs and four walks with 30 strikeouts in 17⅓ innings while taking the win each time.
On the season, Hjerpe is 6-0 with a 2.41 earned-run average in six starts, compiling a conference-best 51 strikeouts and nine walks with opposing batters hitting .202 against him. Hjerpe’s six wins are two more than anyone else in the conference.

Bazzana on a roll
OSU freshman infielder Travis Bazzana extended his hitting streak to 12 games with a double Wednesday in the 9-8 win against Nevada.
The Australian standout has multiple hits in six straight contests. In the current 12-game stretch, Bazzana is batting 24 of 55 (.436) with three home runs, four doubles, 21 RBIs and 17 runs scored.
Teammate Tanner Smith has a streak going as well, with hits in the past eight contests.
The freshman catcher/infielder, whose 11th-inning home run was the game-winner in Tuesday’s game in Reno, is 15 of 30 (.500) with three homers, five doubles, nine RBIs and 10 runs scored in his last eight games, which dates to Feb. 24.

As a team, the Beavers continue to produce at the plate.
OSU leads the Pac-12 in batting average (.336), on-base percentage (.444), runs scored (238), RBIs (214) and walks (147) while second in slugging percentage (.511).
The Beavers still top the conference in fielding percentage at .987.
A look at the opponent
Stanford sits 12-8 overall and 4-5 in Pac-12 play after sweeping a three-game home set with Washington State (9-15, 1-8).
That followed losing two of three at home against Oregon (17-7, 7-2) and dropping all three at Arizona (18-7, 6-3).
The Cardinal’s probable starting pitcher Friday night is Alex Williams. The senior righty is 2-1 with a 4.39 ERA average this season in six starts.
Williams’ last start, last Friday against Washington State, was his poorest outing of the season. He allowed three hits, six earned runs and two walks with three strikeouts in 1⅔ innings. That came after he gave up just one hit and one unearned run with 10 strikeouts and two walks in seven innings versus Arizona.
On the season, Williams has 34 strikeouts and five walks in 26⅔ innings.
Sophomore infielder Carter Graham leads Stanford in hitting with a .435 average with six home runs, four doubles, 22 RBIs and 20 runs scored. He has a 15-game hitting streak.
The Cardinal, 0-4 on the road this season, are fifth in the Pac-12 in batting average (.278), fourth in slugging percentage (.452), sixth in on-base percentage (.370), third in ERA (3.69) and second in opposing batting average (.232).
Busy schedule
The Beavers are on the tail end of what has been a two-week stretch of games and not much time in between.
Tuesday’s game against Portland at Ron Tonkin Field in Hillsboro will be the 10th game in 14 days, a string that started with a March 23 nonconference home game with Seattle and included a three-game series at California in Berkeley, two more in Reno and then returning home to play Stanford.
After Sunday’s finale with the Cardinal, the Beavers won’t have another Pac-12 home game until April 22 with Washington. After playing Portland on Tuesday, OSU plays three at USC (April 8-10), hosts Long Beach State for three (April 14-16) and then is home for Gonzaga for two more (April 18-19).
The Beavers then alternate home and way conference series the rest of the regular season, concluding with three against UCLA May 19-21 at Goss Stadium before the Pac-12 tournament in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Following the two games against Gonzaga, just three nonconference contests remain: two at Oregon April 26 and May 3 and home against Portland on May 10.

1. “Fake Windows Update” Prank
This is simple. Just wait for an officemate to leave their desk and play a fake “Windows Update” screen or video on their computer, before they come back, and then leave everything to their patience.
2. Change the name for the whole day
Want to show your new hire that you’re not a cold, callous workplace and that you want to have fun?
Try a harmless prank where you change names for an entire day (or longer, depending on how long you can keep it) and confuse the newest member of your “work family.” This works best if you have more people joining in, make sure you don’t get confused too.
3. Convince Them It’s a Different Day

Topor-Stanley could play 400 games: Aloisi
Nikolai Topor-Stanley will break the A-League Men's games record when Western United take on Central Coast, and coach John Aloisi believes the defender can become the first player to 400 games.
Topor-Stanley will play his 359th league match on Saturday, overtaking former United skipper Andrew Durante as the competition's longest-standing player.
"He will break it and it's an amazing feat. It's not only because he's such a great player and a talented defender, it also shows the professionalism and the way he's gone about his career," Aloisi said.
"Because early on he probably wasn't as professional ... but then over time he learned how to look after himself and look after his body and that's why he's been able to play so many games.
"It's a lot of games, 359, in the A-League especially because when we started it was only a 20-game season and if you didn't make finals, that was it.
"The amount of games he's been able to play is incredible and I still think that he'll get to 400.
"Just watching him train and watching him move still and play, he hasn't missed a beat with us."
Aloisi said the 37-year-old's speed was underrated while his size, presence and ability to read the game set him above many of his contemporaries.
Neil Kilkenny will return from personal leave but Aloisi conceded the prognosis was "not looking great" for luckless defender Josh Risdon, with United still gathering information on his ankle injury.
Meanwhile, Aloisi is confident Alessandro Diamanti will return this season after a prolonged absence with a knee injury.
"I'm pretty confident he will play again this season but it's one of those ones that it's hard to say when and how quickly he'll come back," he said.
"I can't give you a timeline on it but we're pretty confident and positive he'll be back and hopefully when we're challenging, that would be nice."
United will have their work cut out against dynamic Mariners attackers Marco Urena and Jason Cummings.
"They work really well together, they're hard working, especially going forward," Aloisi said.
"So the players understand their movements and understand what they're going to come up against.
"Then it's up to us to try to limit them as much as possible but also (when we're) with the ball, make them run as much as possible so they don't run as much when they get the ball." | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-10674707/Topor-Stanley-play-400-games-Aloisi.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-04-01T01:32:17Z |

Premier League teams will be able to use five substitutions per game beginning next season in a change announced following Friday's shareholders meeting.
The switch to five subs — up from three — brings the Premier League in line with other major competitions in Europe.
The league had used five subs as a temporary measure when play resumed in 2020 following the league's mid-season suspension because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The International Football Association Board had extended the changes before a permanent decision was made in October to keep the option of using five substitutes in place.
The Premier League, however, had decided against using the IFAB recommendations for the 2020-21 season and instead reverted back to three substitutions.
“Clubs agreed to change the rules relating to substitute players,” the league said Friday.
“From next season, clubs will be permitted to use five substitutions, to be made on three occasions during a match, with an additional opportunity at halftime.
"A total of nine substitutes can be named on the team sheet.” | https://www.1news.co.nz/2022/03/31/premier-league-teams-agree-to-5-subs-starting-next-season/ | 2022-04-01T01:32:19Z |

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Gov. Ron DeSantis floated the idea Thursday of changing Florida law to revoke the Walt Disney Company’s right of self-rule in the Reedy Creek Improvement District, the Florida-based seat of the Magic Kingdom.
In the days since DeSantis signed the Parental Rights in Education bill into law, which opponents call the “Don’t Say Gay” law, opposition to the legislation by Disney has provoked talk of using state legislation to take away the company’s ability to self-govern its lands. Disney first got the right of legal self-control in 1967, with passage of the Reedy Creek Improvement Act.
According to historical documents from the Reedy Creek Improvement District, then-Florida Gov. Claude Kirk signed the RCID Act into law in May 1967, creating two municipalities: Bay Lake and Reedy Creek, which was later renamed Lake Buena Vista. The location, nestled between Orange and Osceola counties, would later become the site where Walt Disney World was built.
The RCID Charter created a 25,000-acre of land as a special taxing district. At the time, it was considered remote and uninhabitable, but now is the site of one of the busiest theme parks in the United States.
To make Disney’s plan happen, the area had to get special privileges from the state of Florida to essentially run itself.
“In 1967, the Florida State legislature, working with Walt Disney World Company, created a special taxing district – called the Reedy Creek Improvement District – that would act with the same authority and responsibility as a county government,” RCID says on its website.
Enter an era of the Magic Kingdom living a life of self-determination and self-rule.
Now, following the company’s public opposition to HB 1557, DeSantis and other state lawmakers have said they’re considering revoking that charter through a repeal of the RCIA, potentially ending Disney’s right to rule in Central Florida.
State Representative Spencer Roach, R-Fort Myers, tweeted on March 30 that he met with colleagues for a second time to discuss repeal of the decades-old law. In Ponte Vedra Beach on Thursday, DeSantis said he wanted to repeal it but not just over the current political fight, and not just the privilege that Disney currently enjoys.
The governor’s words are reminiscent of the state’s 2021 “Big Tech Censorship Crackdown,” in which a law was passed to allow lawsuits against companies like Facebook and Twitter over banning political candidates and equating it to a fight over free speech.
In his speech in Ponte Vedra Beach, DeSantis said the point was to take away the power of “woke” corporations from interfering in Florida politics.
“I would not say that would be retaliatory. The way I view it is there are certain entities that have exerted a lot of influence through corporate means to generate special privileges in the law. I don’t think we should have special privileges in the law at all,” DeSantis said. “Some of these things have developed over the years. I had to deal with this last year, when we passed a law last year to protect Floridians from big tech censorship. The idea was to let them be able to sue under the ‘Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act,’ protect political candidates from being de-platformed, stuff that was good. And it’s being litigated in the courts, which we knew it would. But at the 11th hour, the Legislature slips in a provision in that law that said ‘If you operate a theme park, it doesn’t apply to you.’ And that was meant solely to protect Disney.”
DeSantis said when the provision was added, he had to decide whether to veto the bill and “throw the baby out with the bath water” or allow it to become law as-is, with the protection for theme parks. To be clear, Disney is not the only theme park in Florida. Universal Studios, SeaWorld, Legoland, Busch Gardens and Discovery Cove are all in the state, to name a few.
DeSantis claims he isn’t just targeting Disney over his administration’s current disagreements with the company.
“I don’t think it’s retaliatory, I just think that Disney’s posturing has alienated a lot of people now. And so, the political influence they’re used to wielding, I think has dissipated, so the question is ‘Why would you want to have special privileges in the law, at all?'” DeSantis said. “And I don’t think that we should. But it’s not a matter of acting like those were really great policies. I think that those were policies over decades that were embedded in Florida’s law, largely because they wielded a lot of influence. I think because they’ve been able to do that over the years, I think that’s why they’ve gotten so, that’s one of the reasons they’ve got so far over their skis on this parental rights stuff.”
He said he thinks Disney is used to getting their way, and not having lawmakers stop them. DeSantis said he thinks that’s different now.
“They’re not used to having people that will stand in their way and say ‘Actually, the state of Florida’s going to be governed by the best interests of its people in Florida,” DeSantis said. “We’re certainly not going to bend a knee to woke executives in California. That is not the way the state is going to be run.”
Other than the “big tech carve-out” from 2021, he said he’s never given Disney anything while he’s been governor. DeSantis said he wanted to “reevaluate any special privileges of the law,” not just Disney’s. | https://www.localdvm.com/news/us-and-world/florida-gop-considers-revoking-disney-worlds-right-to-self-rule-over-dont-say-gay-opposition/ | 2022-04-01T01:32:21Z |

Aged care pay rise not in federal budget
A pay rise for aged care workers has not been budgeted for this year, a federal minister has confirmed.
Government Services Minister Linda Reynolds says the coalition government will review any decisions by the independent regulator before committing to a pay rise for aged care workers.
"(The government) will wait for (the Fair Work Commission) to do their work, they'll make a determination, we will review it and then we will take whatever position we do after that review," she told a Senate estimates committee on Friday.
But the prime minister says the government will implement the commission's recommendation.
"It's impossible to know what that (decision) is," he told reporters in Sydney.
"The Fair Work Commission finding has to be honoured and it will be."
Greens senator Janet Rice says it's surprising the government hasn't budgeted for the pay rise when it knows the commission will be making a recommendation.
"(The government) didn't see any need to put any form of contingency in the budget to cover those increased costs," she said.
"It's pretty evident - given what we know about the low wages of aged care workers who work tirelessly and are paid a pittance - that there will be recommendations."
But Senator Reynolds says the government can't predict what those recommendations will be.
"We are many things ... but we're not mind readers in terms of what the Fair Work Commission will determine and we'll (budget) that at the appropriate time," she said.
Meanwhile, only half of aged care providers have had the $400 bonus per worker promised by the government approved.
Officials from the health department said 499 of 807 aged care service providers have had their applications for the payment approved since the bonus was announced earlier this year.
But it could take between three and six months for an audit to determine if workers haven't received the bonus, Health Department official James Benson told the committee hearing on Friday.
Before then, it will be up to workers to alert the department if they haven't received it.
Senator Rice said this shows the government is not following through on its promises.
But Health Department head Brendan Murphy says providers want to do the best thing by the workers and will apply for and pass on the payment.
Labor made aged care a key plank of its budget reply on Thursday, pledging to improve the pay of aged care workers and making a formal submission to the commission in favour of a rise. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-10674709/Aged-care-pay-rise-not-federal-budget.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-04-01T01:32:24Z |
An estimated one billion people globally live with hypovitaminosis D. Studies have indicated that vitamin D deficiency is a risk factor for active tuberculosis (TB) disease. The aim of this study was to determine the association between vitamin D deficiency and TB status among patients with active TB, latent TB infection (LTBI) and those without TB infection. In a cross-sectional study of active TB patients, LTBI, QuantiFERON GOLD testpositive and (QFN+TST+) household contact and controls QuantiFERON GOLD testnegative (QFN−TST−) samples vitamin D levels were compared. Vitamin D status was determined by measurement of total vitamin D levels with 56 samples of active TB patients, 17 with LTBI, and 22 without TB infection using electrochemiluminescence. The median interquartile range (IQR) age of the study participants was 28 (20"“35) years, and the majority (63%) were females. The median (IQR) vitamin D levels were 18 ng/ml (14"“24). All groups had vitamin D hypovitaminosis with significantly lower levels among active TB patients (17 ng/ml, 13, 2) than among LTBI individuals (23 ng/ml 16"“29) and those without TB infection (22 ng/ml, 17"“28). | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2556692157530/africa-s-struggle-with-hepatitis-b | 2022-04-01T01:32:25Z |

(ABC4) – If you’re tired of looking at old furniture that you bought last year from IKEA, the retailer has announced that it will now pay customers to bring back old furniture.
The IKEA buyback and resell option has now been made available for 37 of its U.S. stores. As a way to help pave a path toward sustainable living, the company has brought back the initiative that was launched late last year.
How does it work?
You start by filling out a form on IKEA’s website in order to receive an emailed quote of the buyback value for your furniture. Customers are asked to bring a copy of their quote, buyback number, and fully assembled furniture to your participating IKEA store where an employee will assess the furniture’s buyback value.
When you buyback, you will get store credit and your furniture gets a second life in the As-Is department.
What are the buyback requirements?
According to IKEA, the following categories of products are not currently eligible for the furniture buy-back service:
- Non-IKEA products
- Home furnishing accessories including lighting and textiles
- Add-on units and componentry
- Products that have been used outside including outdoor furniture
- Mattresses and bad textiles (such as blankets and mattress toppers)
- Kitchens including bench tops, cabinets, and fronts
- Modular wardrobes and accessories
- Electrical appliances and products
- Chests of drawers
- “Hacked,” modified or painted products
- Non-assembled products
- Market Hall products (including small kitchen goods, art, rugs, and picture frames)
- Upholstered or leather products
- Sofas or armchairs
- Plants
- Items containing glass (including mirrors)
- Children’s and baby products (such as cribs, mattresses, and change tables)
- Beds and bed frames
The retailer said on its website that large quantities and commercially used items are exempt. | https://www.localdvm.com/news/us-and-world/ikea-will-pay-you-to-return-old-furniture-at-select-stores/ | 2022-04-01T01:32:28Z |
Heat continues to ramp up for underfire Kiwis coach Michael Maguire after a chaotic try to Gold Coast's AJ Brimson got the Titans out of jail with an 8-6 NRL win over the hapless Wests Tigers at CBUS Super Stadium.
Trailing 6-2 and with the match seemingly set to be the first try-less first grade rugby league match in 29 years, Brimson's effort with one minute to play snatched the victory for the hosts.
The winning play on Thursday was fitting for a largely forgettable match that was low on quality and high on errors.
A chip kick by Titans halfback Toby Sexton hit the upright and bounced inside the penalty area where it was fielded by Jock Madden.
But the Tigers five-eighth lost possession after being hit by a Titans player, Brimson pouncing on the loose ball to ground it with one hand and steal the win.
The loss was devastating for the winless Tigers and Maguire, after they held a four-point advantage through a trio of Luke Brooks penalties.
"It can be a cruel game," Maguire said.
"I'm actually really proud of the players ... how they continually stay at it and work.
"They're very rock solid."
Maguire said prior to the match he wasn't worried about his job at the Tigers but with talk of a potential wooden spoon already surfacing, pressure is piling on.
"There's a lot of hurt in the change room at the moment. Seventy-nine minutes, whatever it was, and we had it there, but it's a tough one."
Neither team shone in a scrappy first half that was highlighted by ex-Tiger Corey Thompson spilling the ball with the line at his mercy in the 19th minute.
Titans captain Tino Fa'asuamaleaui was placed on report for a lifting tackle on James Tamou in the 14th minute while Tiger Alex Twal also got placed on report for a crusher on Sexton which led to the first score of the game in the 37th minute.
The visitors also had Jacob Liddle go for a HIA after a clash of heads with Moeaki Fotuaika left the Tigers' hooker bleeding from his nose but the No.9 was cleared to return.
Defeat leaves the Tigers rooted to the bottom of the ladder with no wins from four matches while Gold Coast are now 2-2.
Titans coach Justin Holbrook said simply getting the two points after a week which was disrupted by COVID-19 withdrawals from his squad and the team's training facilities on the Gold Coast flooding during heavy rainfall made him immensely proud.
"They just got on with it and at no stage did the players care about the week's preparation," Holbrook said.
"We were that confident and prepared to play tonight.
"Obviously, a scrappy game all round, but you can only play to the conditions and we come up with a win, that's the main thing."
The Titans host Parramatta next weekend while the Tigers travel to PointsBet Stadium to play Cronulla in their next fixture. | https://www.1news.co.nz/2022/03/31/pressure-mounts-on-maguire-after-titans-steal-win-off-tigers/ | 2022-04-01T01:32:26Z |

FREMONT, Calif., March 31, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Aehr Test Systems (NASDAQ: AEHR), a worldwide supplier of semiconductor test and reliability qualification equipment, today announced financial results for its third quarter of fiscal 2022 ended February 28, 2022.
Fiscal Third Quarter Financial Results:
- Net sales were $15.3 million, up 190% from $5.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021.
- GAAP net income was $2.2 million, or $0.08 per diluted share compared to a GAAP net loss of $735,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2021.
- Non-GAAP net income was $4.1 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, which excludes the impact of $880,000 stock-based compensation and a $1.0 million adjustment for excess and obsolete inventory related to legacy products. This compares to a non-GAAP net loss of $360,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, which excludes the impact of $271,000 stock-based compensation in the third quarter of fiscal 2021.
- Bookings were $6.0 million for the quarter ended February 28, 2022.
- Backlog as of February 28, 2022 was $26.9 million. Effective backlog, which includes all orders announced since the end of the third quarter, is over $30 million.
Fiscal First Nine Months Financial Results:
- Net sales were $30.5 million, up 241% from $9.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2021.
- GAAP net income was $3.7 million, or $0.13 per diluted share. This compares to a GAAP net loss of $2.6 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, in the first nine months of fiscal 2021.
- Non-GAAP net income was $5.2 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, which excludes the impact of stock-based compensation, the adjustment for excess and obsolete inventory and forgiveness of the PPP loan. This compares to a non-GAAP net loss of $4.1 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, in the first nine months of fiscal 2021, which excludes the impact of stock-based compensation and the net gain related to the closure of Aehr’s Japan subsidiary during the first quarter of fiscal 2021.
An explanation of the use of non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation of Aehr’s non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures can be found in the accompanying tables.
Gayn Erickson, President and CEO of Aehr Test Systems, commented:
“We finished the quarter with revenue of $15.3 million, our highest quarterly revenue on record, non-GAAP net income of $4.1 million, and a strong backlog of $26.9 million at quarter end. Our effective backlog, which includes all orders announced since the end of the third quarter, is over $30 million.
“We continue to see very strong interest and demand for wafer level test and burn-in of silicon carbide devices and see enormous growth potential for silicon carbide semiconductor test and burn-in to support the world-wide electrification movement in electric vehicles, power conversion, and power generation and storage infrastructure.
“During the quarter, four additional companies provided detailed wafer layouts to Aehr for their silicon carbide wafers, as part of their evaluation of using Aehr’s FOX-XP™ systems and WaferPak™ contactors for wafer level burn-in of their devices to meet the electric vehicle market and electrification infrastructure markets. We have provided those customers with the data confirming that we believe we can test their wafers and provide proposals and lead times to meet their needs. This includes another major supplier of silicon carbide devices who has now committed to an on-wafer benchmark and asked us to put a system on their test floor to demonstrate our capabilities. This is now the second of the top silicon carbide customers (beyond our current lead silicon carbide customer) to engage with us in what we call on-wafer benchmarking of their actual wafers.
“We have now made several proposals to customers to place orders to lock in lead times of our FOX™ systems and WaferPaks, and Aehr will provide on-wafer evaluations and validations for them within the lead time of the systems. In just the last few weeks, we met with multiple companies in both the US and Europe and are very encouraged by the positive feedback we received about their forecasts for wafer level burn-in needs and our expectations for winning this capacity with these prospective customers. This included very productive meetings with a major supplier of silicon carbide that is currently doing on wafer benchmarking and burn-in optimization investigations with our FOX system and WaferPaks today. It is apparent that wafer level burn-in will become the standard for silicon carbide devices, and based upon customer feedback, we continue to believe that Aehr is unique in our ability to meet the cost and volume production needs of this market.
“We continue to work closely with our lead silicon carbide test and burn-in customer, and earlier this month we announced follow-on orders from them for additional WaferPak™ Contactors that reflect multiple new silicon carbide device designs they are building to be qualified by their customers, along with several silicon carbide devices now qualified and ramping into production to meet demand for electric vehicles. This customer forecasts the need for additional systems to meet their goal of achieving a major share of the silicon carbide market. We continue to expect significant additional system and WaferPak purchases from them over the next several years and through the end of the decade.
“Forecasts from Canaccord Genuity estimate that the silicon carbide market for devices in electric vehicles, such as traction inverters and on-board chargers, as well as off-board charging stations used for electric vehicle charging, is expected to grow from fewer than 150,000 6-inch equivalent wafers of capacity in 2022 to more than four million wafers in 2030 to meet the more than 30 million electric vehicles anticipated to be built per year by then. This projected demand for just the electric vehicle silicon carbide wafers represents at least a $1 billion market opportunity for our wafer level test and burn-in systems and consumables over the next eight years. Canaccord also forecasts an additional capacity need of more than four million silicon carbide wafers to meet demand in 2030 for electrification infrastructure, industrial, and photovoltaic power devices. In our recent customer visits, we are now seeing demand surface for the wafer level burn-in of silicon carbide devices beyond electric vehicles that we believe is likely to become a significant market opportunity for Aehr as well.
“We are also seeing continued recovery and strengthening in the silicon photonics test and burn-in market, reflecting the post-Covid recovery that is driving devices to meet 5G and data center infrastructure build out. Several customers addressing the silicon photonics market have forecast additional FOX™ system and WaferPak or DiePak® contactor capacity needs over the next 12 months.
“In addition to the silicon carbide and silicon photonics markets that are strong drivers of our business, during the quarter we received an initial order from a current FOX-XP customer for our proprietary DiePak Carriers for a new optical sensor device, representing a new application for our FOX-XP system. This customer is a supplier of sensors to a major mobile device, personal computer, and consumer electronics manufacturer. This is the first order of DiePaks for this device, which is expected to move to production and will require additional DiePak Carriers and may also require additional FOX-XP system production capacity.
“We are excited about the unprecedented inbound interest and expanding growth opportunities we are seeing with a significant number of new potential customers that are evaluating the unique capabilities and cost effectiveness of our FOX-XP multi-wafer test and burn in system for their test and burn-in needs. We remain very focused on serving several large market opportunities we see ahead.”

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — The mother of a newborn baby attempted to kill her child after a home birth, police said.
Police said they were called to the emergency room at Mountain View Hospital on Saturday for a report of a new mother who refused to enter the hospital and was “bleeding profusely,” they wrote in an arrest report.
Police said the newborn’s mother, Ashley Hollingsworth, 22, had tried to kill the child with a blanket.
Hollingsworth was located more than two hours later with severe injuries to her head, police said.
Investigators learned that Hollingsworth had given birth in a toilet about an hour before they were called to the hospital.
On the way to the hospital, police said “Ashley had wrapped [a] blanket around the baby’s head and was pushing the blanket against the baby’s face.” Doctors initially believed the newborn may have suffered a brain bleed, but staff later determined the child likely did not suffer any injuries.
While speaking with detectives the next day, a witness told police Hollingsworth reportedly said there was “something evil” in her stomach that was “trying to kill” the baby. Hollingsworth later told police in an interview that she believed the baby was “probably evil.”
“After seeing the baby’s eyes, smelling what she described as an abnormal scent, and the baby grunting at her, Ashley decided to wrap the blanket around the baby’s head,” police wrote in their report.
Hollingsworth was found with self-inflicted injuries to her face, police said.
Police arrested Hollingsworth on Wednesday. She faces charges of attempted murder and child abuse or neglect. She was being held without bail ahead of a court hearing next week. | https://www.localdvm.com/news/us-and-world/las-vegas-police-mother-attempts-to-kill-newborn-says-baby-was-evil/ | 2022-04-01T01:32:34Z |

Scientists say they have finally assembled the full genetic blueprint for human life, adding the missing pieces to a puzzle nearly completed two decades ago.
An international team described the first-ever sequencing of a complete human genome – the set of instructions to build and sustain a human being – in research published on Friday in the journal Science. The previous effort, celebrated across the world, was incomplete because DNA sequencing technologies of the day weren't able to read certain parts of it. Even after updates, it was missing about 8% of the genome.
“Some of the genes that make us uniquely human were actually in this ‘dark matter of the genome’ and they were totally missed,” said Evan Eichler, a University of Washington researcher who participated in the current effort and the original Human Genome Project. “It took 20-plus years, but we finally got it done.”
Many — including Eichler's own students — thought it had been finished already. “I was teaching them, and they said, 'Wait a minute. Isn’t this like the sixth time you guys have declared victory? I said, ’No, this time we really, really did it!”
Scientists said this full picture of the genome will give humanity a greater understanding of our evolution and biology while also opening the door to medical discoveries in areas like aging, neurodegenerative conditions, cancer and heart disease.
“We’re just broadening our opportunities to understand human disease,” said Karen Miga, an author of one of the six studies published on Friday.
The research caps off decades of work. The first draft of the human genome was announced in a White House ceremony in 2000 by leaders of two competing entities: an international publicly funded project led by an agency of the US National Institutes of Health and a private company, Maryland-based Celera Genomics.
The human genome is made up of about 3.1 billion DNA subunits, pairs of chemical bases known by the letters A, C, G and T. Genes are strings of these lettered pairs that contain instructions for making proteins, the building blocks of life. Humans have about 30,000 genes, organised in 23 groups called chromosomes that are found in the nucleus of every cell.
Before now, there were "large and persistent gaps that have been in our map, and these gaps fall in pretty important regions,” Miga said.
Miga, a genomics researcher at the University of California-Santa Cruz, worked with Adam Phillippy of the National Human Genome Research Institute to organise the team of scientists to start from scratch with a new genome with the aim of sequencing all of it, including previously missing pieces. The group, named after the sections at the very ends of chromosomes, called telomeres, is known as the Telomere-to-Telomere, or T2T, consortium.
Their work adds new genetic information to the human genome, corrects previous errors and reveals long stretches of DNA known to play important roles in both evolution and disease. A version of the research was published last year before being reviewed by scientific peers.
“This is a major improvement, I would say, of the Human Genome Project,” doubling its impact, said geneticist Ting Wang of the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, who was not involved in the research.
Eichler said some scientists used to think unknown areas contained “junk." Not him. "Some of us always believed there was gold in those hills," he said. Eichler is paid by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, which also supports The Associated Press's health and science department.
Turns out that gold includes many important genes, he said, such as ones integral to making a person's brain bigger than a chimp's, with more neurons and connections.
To find such genes, scientists needed new ways to read life's cryptic genetic language.
Reading genes requires cutting the strands of DNA into pieces hundreds to thousands of letters long. Sequencing machines read the letters in each piece and scientists try to put the pieces in the right order. That's especially tough in areas where letters repeat.
Scientists said some areas were illegible before improvements in gene sequencing machines that now allow them to, for example, accurately read a million letters of DNA at a time. That allows scientists to see genes with repeated areas as longer strings instead of snippets that they had to later piece together.
Researchers also had to overcome another challenge: Most cells contain genomes from both mother and father, confusing attempts to assemble the pieces correctly. T2T researchers got around this by using a cell line from one “complete hydatidiform mole," an abnormal fertilised egg containing no fetal tissue that has two copies of the father’s DNA and none of the mother’s.
The next step? Mapping more genomes, including ones that include collections of genes from both parents. This effort did not map one of the 23 chromosomes that is found in males, called the Y chromosome, because the mole contained only an X.
Wang said he’s working with the T2T group on the Human Pangenome Reference Consortium, which is trying to generate “reference," or template, genomes for 350 people representing the breadth of human diversity.
“Now we’ve gotten one genome right and we have to do many, many more,” Eichler said. “This is the beginning of something really fantastic for the field of human genetics.” | https://www.1news.co.nz/2022/03/31/scientists-finally-finish-decoding-entire-human-genome/ | 2022-04-01T01:32:34Z |

Dupuytren disease (DD) is a progressive fibrous proliferative disease. It invades the palmar aponeurosis and extends to the finger fascia, eventually leading to flexion contracture of the metacarpophalangeal or interphalangeal joint. At present, surgical resection and the local injection of collagenase are the main methods for the treatment of DD, but postoperative complications and high recurrence rates often occur. Bioinformatics analysis showed that the increased expression of SFRP4 protein was closely related to the incidence of DD. Persistent and effective inhibition of SFRP4 expression may be a promising treatment for DD. We prepared SFRP4 siRNA/nanoparticle complexes (si-SFRP4) and negative siRNA/nanoparticle complexes (NC) and applied them in vitro and in vivo. Flow cytometry analysis showed that si-SFRP4 could be successfully transfected into DD cells. MTT and EdU staining assays showed that the OD values and percentage of EdU-positive cells in the si-SFRP4 group were significantly lower than those in the NC group. Scratch tests showed that the wound healing rate of the si-SFRP4 group was lower than that of the NC group, and the difference was statistically significant. The expression of SFRP4 and α-SMA protein in the si-SFRP4 group significantly decreased in both DD cells and xenografts. Compared with the NC group, the xenograft quality of the si-SFRP4 group was significantly reduced. Masson's trichrome staining showed that the collagen and fibrous cells in the si-SFRP4 group were more uniform, slender, parallel and regular. The above experimental results suggest that the proliferation and metabolism of palmar aponeurosis cells and the quality of metacarpal fascia xenografts were both significantly decreased. We speculated that nanoparticle-mediated SFRP4 siRNA can be used as a potential new method for the treatment of DD. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2556692167103/closing-in-on-a-cure-for-hepatitis-b | 2022-04-01T01:32:38Z |

Conference Call and Webcast Scheduled for 2:00 p.m. PT / 5:00 p.m. ET on Thursday, March 31, 2022
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., March 31, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Calithera Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: CALA), a clinical-stage, precision-oncology biopharmaceutical company, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2021.
“In 2021, we made significant progress in streamlining our clinical development programs, prioritizing our resources, and establishing our focus on biomarker-driven approaches in oncology. Our acquisition of two promising clinical-stage investigational therapies, mivavotinib and sapanisertib, in the fourth quarter significantly contributed to our pipeline of targeted therapies and complemented our in-house programs underway,” said Susan Molineaux, PhD, president and chief executive officer of Calithera. “We also announced the first data from our internally-discovered preclinical synthetic lethality target VPS4, and we will present the first data from our novel VPS4A inhibitors at the AACR Annual Meeting. 2022 will be an exciting year as we initiate two phase 2 clinical trials for mivavotinib and sapanisertib. We plan to share data from these trials by the first quarter 2023.”
Fourth Quarter 2021 and Recent Highlights
- Transformed Calithera’s precision-oncology pipeline with the acquisition of two clinical-stage compounds with demonstrated single-agent activity; expect to initiate two phase 2 trials in the first half of 2022 with data for both anticipated by the first quarter of 2023.
- Mivavotinib (SYK inhibitor): Calithera will explore mivavotinib in the treatment of patients with non-GCB (ABC) DLBCL with and without mutations in MyD88 and CD79. SYK is known to activate multiple cell-signaling pathways in activated B-cell like (ABC) DLBCL. Mivavotinib showed a substantially higher response rate in ABC (53%) compared to GCB (22%) DLBCL in a retrospective analysis of completed trials. In addition, recent preclinical studies have shown enhanced SYK activity and sensitivity to SYK inhibition in DLBCL and other Non-Hodgkin lymphomas harboring mutations in MyD88 and/or CD79, which comprise a distinct genetic subset of ABC DLBCL known to have poor outcomes with standard of care therapy. Approximately 50% of all ABC DLBCL tumors have one or both of these mutations. Data generated from this study could position the company to initiate a study with registrational intent in biomarker-specific populations in DLBCL.
- Sapanisertib (Dual mTORC 1/2 inhibitor): Through the phase 2 study, Calithera intends to strengthen the existing data on sapanisertib as a monotherapy in patients with squamous non-small cell lung cancer (sqNSCLC) harboring a NRF2 (NFE2L2) mutation (approximately 15% prevalence), and evaluate its activity in NRF2 wildtype (WT) sqNSCLC. More than 25% of all NSCLC is squamous and these patients have few options beyond standard-of-care PD1 inhibitors and chemotherapy. NRF2-mutated tumors have been shown to have poorer prognosis than NRF2 WT tumors. There are currently no therapies approved specifically for NRF2-mutated cancers, therefore sapanisertib has the potential to address the needs of a substantial underserved patient population. Data generated from this study could position the company to initiate a registrational study in relapsed or refractory squamous NSCLC.
- Discovered novel series of VPS4A inhibitors. The first data from Calithera’s preclinical synthetic lethality pipeline will be presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) 2022 Annual Meeting, on April 8, 2022. The accepted poster will detail Calithera’s discovery of a novel series of VPS4A inhibitors that are currently advancing through lead optimization. VPS4A and VPS4B are paralog ATPases essential for remodeling intracellular organelle membranes. Membrane remodeling is an essential cellular function and loss of function of both VPS4 paralogs is lethal to cells. The preclinical data demonstrate that VPS4A genetic inhibition in cell lines with loss of VPS4B preferentially showed profound death in cancer cells. Calithera will present the discovery of a series of novel, small-molecule VPS4A inhibitors which have potential in the treatment of VPS4B-deleted tumors.
- Discontinued KEAPSAKE trial of telaglenastat in NSCLC. In November 2021, Calithera announced the discontinuation of the phase 2 telaglenastat KEAPSAKE clinical trial in patients with non-squamous NSCLC with genetic mutations in KEAP1/NRF2 based on a lack of clinical benefit observed in patients treated with telaglenastat in an interim analysis. Calithera has no plans to continue the development of telaglenastat at this time.
- Presented first CB-280 phase 1b data at NACFC. In November 2021, Calithera presented interim data from the Phase 1b trial of CB-280 at the North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC). CB-280 was well tolerated, demonstrated linear pharmacokinetics (PK), and showed complete and continuous target inhibition in plasma at doses at or above 100mg. CB-280 also demonstrated robust pharmacodynamic (PD) effects, with rapid and significant dose-proportional increases in plasma arginine, the key driver of NO production. Enrollment and analysis of all four cohorts is now complete and evaluation of next steps is ongoing.
- Promoted Emil T. Kuriakose, MD, to chief medical officer. Former vice president and head of clinical development at Calithera, Dr. Kuriakose succeeded Dr. Keith Orford, who was appointed to the Calithera Board of Directors.
- Priced a $10.0 Million Underwritten Public Offering of Common Stock and Warrants to Purchase Common Stock. On March 29, 2022, the Company priced an underwritten public offering of 18,518,519 shares of its common stock at a price to the public of $0.54 per share. Each share of common stock is accompanied by a warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.54 per share, which is immediately exercisable and will expire 18 months from the date of issuance, or a short-term warrant, and a warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.54 per share, which is immediately exercisable and will expire 5 years from the date of issuance, or a long-term warrant. The gross proceeds to Calithera from the offering are expected to be approximately $10.0 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. The offering is expected to close on April 1, 2022, subject to customary closing conditions.
Selected Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2021 Financial Results
Cash, cash equivalents and investments totaled $59.5 million at December 31, 2021, which the Company expects, together with proceeds from its $10.0 million public offering, will be sufficient to meet its operating plan through the second quarter of 2023.
Revenue for the full year 2021 was $9.8 million, compared to none in the prior year, and represents payments under collaboration agreements with Incyte and Antengene.
Research and development expenses for the full year 2021 were $53.4 million, compared to $71.0 million in the prior year. The decrease of $17.6 million was primarily due to a decrease in the telaglenastat program. Research and development expenses for the fourth quarter of 2021 were $13.7 million, compared to $17.1 million for the same period last year.
Research and development expenses related to asset acquisition for the full year 2021 were $50.9 million for our acquisition of sapanisertib and mivavotinib in the fourth quarter of 2021, and comprised of an upfront payment of $10.0 million in cash and $40.9 million attributed to the value of the Series A convertible preferred stock on the date issued, estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
General and administrative expenses for the full year 2021 were $20.9 million, compared to $20.4 million in the prior year. General and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2021 were $4.6 million, compared to $5.6 million for the same period last year.
Interest and other income, net for the full year 2021 was $0.3 million, compared to $1.3 million in the prior year. Interest and other income, net for the fourth quarter of 2021 was none, compared to $0.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2020.
Net loss for the three months and year ended December 31, 2021, was $69.2 million and $115.1 million, respectively.

(KTLA) – The IRS on Wednesday reminded tax filers to claim any missing third-round stimulus payment on their 2021 income tax return.
The tax season gives eligible people who never got the $1,400 payment the chance to claim it.
Since the IRS is no longer issuing the Economic Impact Payments, people who are missing a stimulus payment, or got less than the amount they’re eligible for, will have to claim a Recovery Rebate Credit on their 2020 or 2021 federal tax returns, according to the Internal Revenue Service.
Most eligible people have already received their stimulus payments and won’t need to include anything about the payment when they file their 2021 tax return.
The IRS says it has issued more than 175 million third-round payments worth more than $400 billion to people across the country. Most of those payments were sent out in the spring and early summer of 2021.
Still, there are many who haven’t gotten their payments.
Authorities have identified 644,705 potentially eligible people who had not received payments totaling $1.6 billion, according to a report issued last week by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration.
What to do if you never received the third payment
The IRS encourages residents to double-check their bank accounts first to make sure they never got the third payment, especially in early spring and summer of 2021.
People can also access their IRS Online Account to view the total amount of the third-round Economic Impact Payment issued to them. For married couples filing jointly, each person will need to log into their own online account.
Once people confirm they never got the payment, and their IRS online accounts show a payment amount greater than $0, or if they got a Notice 1444-C or Letter 6475, they should contact the IRS as soon as possible to see if a payment trace is needed.
But they do not need to wait until their trace is complete to file their 2021 tax return, officials said.
When completing the Recovery Rebate Credit worksheet, taxpayers have two options: either use the amount on the Letter 6475 (or EIP 3 amount from the online account) to calculate the recovery rebate credit amount on line 30, or use the amount of stimulus payment the taxpayer believes they received to calculate the rebate credit amount on line 30. (Details on that can be found here.)
Those who contact the IRS to trace the stimulus payment amount will receive notification of the results. If it is found that the taxpayer didn’t get the money, the IRS will adjust the recovery rebate credit amount on the tax return and issue any refund.
If people make a mistake calculating the recovery rebate credit and claim an amount on line 30 for the 2021 Recovery Rebate Credit, the IRS will have to correct the amount and send a notice about the changes made. If that happens, there may be a delay in processing the return, officials said.
What if I already filed my taxes?
An amended return may be needed to claim the credit if IRS records show no payment was issued.
For eligible people who didn’t claim a recovery rebate credit on their 2021 tax return (so line 30 is blank or $0), they will need to file a Form 1040-X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return to claim the remaining amount of stimulus money — if IRS records don’t show that they were issued a payment.
This includes people who think they didn’t get the full amount of their third-round Economic Impact Payment because their circumstances in 2021 were different than they were in 2020.
People trying to figure out if they should amend their original tax return can use this online tool.

A brain disorder that leads to problems with speaking, reading and writing has sidelined actor Bruce Willis and drawn attention to a little-known condition that has many possible causes.
A stroke, tumour, head injury or other damage to the language centres of the brain can cause aphasia. A brain infection or Alzheimer’s disease can trigger it.
Former US Rep. Gabby Giffords, wounded in a 2011 shooting, has aphasia from that injury.
The National Aphasia Association estimates 2 million Americans are affected and nearly 180,000 get the disorder every year. Willis’ family announced on Wednesday that the 67-year-old actor has been diagnosed with aphasia but did not provide any details on a possible cause.
For an actor, aphasia could pose a huge challenge depending on how severe it is, said Johns Hopkins University cognitive scientist Brenda Rapp, who works with people with the condition.
“You can imagine how frustrating it is if you can’t find words, if you can’t organise words into sentences, if you can’t get your mouth to produce the sounds you want it to produce,” Rapp said. “You are still yourself ... but you may not sound like yourself.”
For most, the cause is a stroke that has cut off blood to part of the brain. Without oxygen and nutrients, brain cells die, which leads to the difficulty retrieving words.
Aphasia does not affect intelligence. Some people improve dramatically in a few months. Others may need to find other ways to communicate. Speech and language therapy can help.
Researchers are looking into new types of speech therapy and noninvasive methods such as a procedure that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain cells. | https://www.1news.co.nz/2022/03/31/whats-aphasia-the-condition-thats-led-bruce-willis-to-retire/ | 2022-04-01T01:32:41Z |

Roughnecks rookie Cooks up hot start to NLL career, but he wants more
Article content
Tanner Cook has cooked up quite the start to his National Lacrosse League career.
Advertisement 2
Article content
He’s putting up numbers like no other rookies on the roster.
He’s sniped nine goals …
Collected 28 points …
And earned plenty of confidence from his big-league bosses.
“Tanner is a big, tough player with hands,” said Roughnecks GM Mike Board, who made the Ontario product the fifth-overall selection in the 2020 NLL Draft. “He crashes and bangs and fights for loose balls. He works hard to get his teammates open, and when he has the opportunity, he isn’t shy about driving to the net.
“He’s been a workhorse for us all season.”
But it’s not enough in the eyes of Cook himself.
The 6-foot-4, 215-lb. talent wants more from his own play despite the solid debut, which has included finding the back of the net in six straight contests and becoming the only one of the club’s three freshman forwards to suit up in every contest on the schedule so far, including the five on WestJet Field at Scotiabank Saddledome.

“I guess I’m not really expected to be a huge producer on the floor as being a rookie, but personally, I would like to be a better contributor than I am now,” said Cook, whose goal run was snapped in last week’s 8-6 win over the host Saskatchewan Rush. “I possess the ability to be a better contributor, and I think I should start doing that more.
“Getting into a six-game goal-streak there was good, but I was never complacent,” continued Cook. “I’m always thinking to myself, ‘Geez, I’m always just getting one goal — I need to break over that one goal.’ From that standpoint, it’s great that I’m getting those goals, but I certainly need more. Goals are going to help win us games. I know I can score and know I can get the job done. I just need to do that consistently.”

He’d like to snipe two or more come Friday night in what amounts to a proverbial four-pointer for the Riggers (5-7) with the Vancouver Warriors (6-7) invading the Rough House (7 p.m., TSN).
The nationally televised game is a biggie since the Warriors currently occupy the West Division’s third-and-final guaranteed playoff spot. In the current fight for that coveted spot are the Roughnecks and the Panther City Lacrosse Club (6-8).
“There’s no bigger game than the one in front of us, right?” Cook said. “And against Vancouver, we’re battling for a playoff spot. It’s close to a must-win. We have to string some wins together.”
Of course, Cook feels the best way he can help with that is by upping his offence.
After all, he’s got goals on his resumé after racking up 134 of them in 84 Ontario junior league contests. Included was a whopping 46-goal campaign with the Whitby Junior ‘A’ Warriors.

Article content
“it’s been a transition from junior box lacrosse,” said the 23-year-old Cook, who also starred in Ontario lacrosse with the Clarington Junior ‘B’ Green Gaels. “But I’ve done a solid job of knowing what my role is and knowing what the coaches want from me and making it happen here.
“I’ve been happy with my play but not overly happy or complacent — I can definitely do better, for sure.”
It seems he’ll take the goals any way he can get them, too.
Cook isn’t about the ‘how’ as much the ‘how many’.
“Any goal at home is my favourite goal — that’s the best I’ve experienced in my career,” added Cook, saluting the Rough House fans. “The first one is always definitely special, but I only remember putting the ball in the net … what I remember the most is the squad being just as happy as I was to get that first goal.

“But you’re thinking it’s the first of many. I need more. You’re always itching for more.”
QUICKSTICKS
The Roughnecks player with the most goals on the year continues to be captain Curtis Dickson with 22. Next on the list is Jesse King with 17, to go along with 43 assists for 60 points — both team highs. Tyler Pace and Zach Herreweyers have gunned 16 and 14 goals respectively, and then it’s Cook, Dan Taylor and Haiden Dickson each with nine … T Mitch Wilde is getting closer to a return to the lineup after missing all but three games on the year … Meanwhile, D Harrison Matsuoka and D Nate Wade are back on the club’s active roster after missing last week’s game due to being in COVID protocol … In other moves for the Riggers: D Carter McKenzie has been assigned to the practice roster; and D Nick Scott and D Andrew Mullen have both been released.

Harry Styles’ “As It Was” delivers a bottle of incense in a song, but with a bland sadness. The synth-heavy intro is perfect for running up and down the Pacific Coast highway. The groovy electric guitar injects the song with an infectious energy. If you’ve been sorely missing the reigns of Tumblr music — think The XX, Passion Pit — then this is absolutely the song for you.

CNN — After Will Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock on stage Sunday at the Academy Awards ceremony, Los Angeles police officers were ready to arrest Smith, according to an interview with the award show’s producer, but Rock was adamant he did not want to press charges.
In an excerpt of an interview with ABC News, aired Thursday on “World News Tonight,” producer Will Packer said LAPD officers told Rock, “This is battery” and that he could press charges, and they were prepared to arrest Smith that night.
“They said, we will go get him. We are prepared. We are prepared to get him right now. You can press charges. We can arrest him. They were laying out the options,” Packer told ABC. “And as they were talking, Chris was … being very dismissive of those options. He was like, no, I’m fine. He was, like, no, no, no.”
The LAPD issued a statement on the night of the Oscars, saying, “The individual involved has declined to file a police report.”
Rock made a brief statement regarding the incident Wednesday at a stand-up show in Boston, his first public appearance since the Oscars. He told the audience he was “still processing what happened” and would have more to say at a later date.

He has been a one-person barrier against climate action, serving as a US Democrat while manipulating climate legislation alongside most Republicans. Joe Manchin has used his position as a Senator from West Virginia to parlay power and prestige to suit his own career and financial ambitions. It’s clear that Manchin’s coal conflict of interest is not only bad for US politics and energy and climate policy, it’s dangerous for the planet.
This week the New York Times conducted an investigation into the “unusual relationship” of Manchin and an “especially dirty power plant” in West Virginia, “showing just how entwined they are.”
As the tie-breaking vote in an evenly split Senate, Manchin has stymied legislation that would enable the US to more efficiently transition to wind, solar, and other clean energy sources and away from coal, oil, and gas, the burning of which is dangerously heating the planet.
With the war in Ukraine and resulting calls to boycott Russian gas, Manchin has joined Republicans to press for more US gas and oil production to fill the gap on the world market.
“Gob” Smack in the Middle of the Climate Crisis
Joe Manchin’s ties to the only power plant in a dying Appalachian town started in 1987. As a West Virginia career state legislator, he was approached by two developers who wanted to build a power plant in Grant Town, just outside Manchin’s district.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was concerned the Grant Town plant would be too close to an existing coal-burning plant, resulting in excessive levels of sulfur dioxide, a threat to human health and plant life.
With help from his grandfather to clear bureaucratic hurdles, Manchin joined in the power plant business as the sole Grant Town supplier of a type of low-grade coal known as “gob.” Gob is an acronym for “garbage of bituminous.” This detritus is mixed with rock and clay, making it harder and less efficient to burn. As a general rule, gob is discarded by mining companies but can be used to produce electricity — it’s junk that mining companies dumped beside their operations throughout parts of Appalachia before federal cleanup standards were enacted in 1977.
This waste coal has piled up on the ground outside coal mines in West Virginia in barren heaps often reaching several stories high.
The technology and the type of fuel used to generate electricity affect the efficiency of power plants. Because gob is a less efficient power source than regular coal, Manchin’s gob business has harmed West Virginians economically, costing them hundreds of millions of dollars in excess electricity fees.
Regardless of the cost to his local citizens, Manchin’s business, Enersystems, flourished. Since 2002 — as far back as available data goes — his company has had just one customer: the Grant Town power plant.
Manchin’s business perks from Grant Town don’t end with gob. He contracted for dividends from electricity generated by the plant — those electric bills are paid by his constituents.
His gob supplies to the Grant Town power plant burden ratepayers in one of the poorest states in the nation.
The Grant Town plant arrangement has been the source of lifelong wealth for Manchin. To protect his investments and influence, Manchin has wielded his political influence to benefit the Grant Town plant.
He has:
- urged a state official to approve its air pollution permit
- pushed fellow lawmakers to support a tax credit that helped the plant
- worked behind the scenes to facilitate a rate increase that drove up revenue for the plant — and electricity costs for West Virginians
- defended his personal business ties to the Grant Town plant, telling the Charleston Gazette in 1996, “I did it to keep West Virginia people working”
- sued the EPA over new mining permit standards for mountaintop removal coal mining when he was West Virginia governor
Yet coal of all grades has reached its peak. Sure, it was the single biggest source of power through the late 2000s, but it has experienced a significant decline since then. “We have invested billions of dollars into clean energy technologies so we can continue to lead the world in reducing emissions through innovation,” Manchin said in December, 2021. “But to do so at a rate that is faster than technology or the markets allow will have catastrophic consequences.”
That’s a coal conflict of interest statement if there ever was one.
Will Manchin do even more to soften coal’s inevitable demise?
The Trajectory of Manchin’s Coal Conflict of Interest
Manchin has made a career of blurring the line between public business and private gain.
When he was elected West Virginia secretary of state in 2000, he gave control of Enersystems to his son, Joseph. Manchin won the 2010 special election to fill the Senate seat vacated by incumbent Democrat Robert Byrd’s death with 54% of the vote.
As the years went on, several energy companies have held ownership stakes in the Grant Town power plant, and those major corporations with interests far beyond West Virginia have sought to influence the Senate.
In a television ad for his 2010 Senate campaign, Manchin used Democratic-backed climate-change legislation for target practice, loading a rifle and firing a single bullet into a copy of the cap-and-trade bill that would basically penalize utilities for burning coal.
In January 2015, Manchin was among 9 Democrats who voted for a Republican-sponsored bill to speed up approval of the Keystone XL oil pipeline. President Obama vetoed the measure.
Between 2011 and 2020 Manchin was paid $5,211,154 in dividend income from Enersystems. He describes Enersystems in disclosure forms as a “contract services and material provider for utility plants.” In 2020 alone, it paid Mr. Manchin $491,949, according to his filings, almost 3 times his salary as a US senator.
In Manchin’s financial disclosure for 2020, he reported that his non-public shares of Enersystems were worth between $1 million and $5 million.
Final Thoughts
Let’s not forget the how Joe Manchin made his ultimate decision about rejecting even a watered-down version of the Build Back Better Act.
- West Virginia’s coal lobby worked diligently to kill off the measure.
- He received more money from oil, coal, and gas industries than any other US Senator in the current election cycle.
- The Koch network joined in and pushed against the bill with their massive media might.
- The US Chamber of Commerce questioned if job creation would really be a lasting benefit.
Has Manchin sabotaged “momentum for a different kind of country,” as Bill McKibben argues? Can enough members of the US Senate stand up to fossil capitalism and demand that Manchin stand up to ethics charges? | https://cleantechnica.com/2022/03/31/manchins-coal-conflict-of-interest-is-dangerous-for-the-planet/ | 2022-04-01T01:32:43Z |
A new state-of-the-art super-stadium will be built in Lincolnshire - if England's bid to co-host the 2028 UEFA European Championships is successful.
LincolnshireWorld.com has seen blueprints for a 75,000-capacity stadium, currently being dubbed the Yellowbelly Arena.
The many eyecatching extras planned for the ground include a retractable roof, safe standing areas, four adjacent 4G pitches which will also be available for community use and ample concourse shelving.
Super-stadiums are so-called because the venues are built to cater for a number of different sports, a sliding temporary surface over the pitch complete with additional easy-fit seating means the arena could quickly be transformed into a venue fit for basketball, boxing or ice hockey.
England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland have tabled a joint bid to host the Euros in six years' time - and if successful Lincolnshire would be well and truly put on the footballing map.
"Bringing international football to the county would be a no-brainer," explained Olaf Lopri of architects Davril-Fish, who have drawn up the exciting plans.
"Lincolnshire's road and rail networks are second to none, and with Humberside Airport situated in the north of the county we are ready to welcome fans from across the continent, be it Spain, Germany or, dare I say it, San Marino.
"This stadium could create a huge boost in employment and tourism, never before seen in the area."
Lincolnshire - the birthplace of international footballers Ray Clemence, Chris Woods, Patrick Bamford and John Oster - currently has four clubs classed as elite teams.
But it is understood there are no plans for Lincoln City, Scunthorpe United, Grimsby Town or Pinchbeck United to move into the facility.
However, the arena hopes to gain a licence to be used for as many 30 live events each year, including music concerts, American football, Davis Cup tennis and the Lincolnshire FA's county cup finals.
"We are currently considering several possible sites for the project, if given the green light," said Orla Flipo, Lincolnshire County Council's portfolio holder for international sport.
"Lincoln is an obvious favourite due to its infrastructure, while Grantham and Stamford are serious options as they're close to the A1 and situated on main rail lines.
"But at this point it would be crazy to rule out Grimsby, Boston or Kirkby on Bain." | https://www.lincolnshireworld.com/sport/football/a-75000-capacity-state-of-the-art-super-stadium-planned-for-lincolnshire-if-englands-euro-2028-bid-is-successful-3635894 | 2022-04-01T01:32:42Z |
Yosemite’s stunning moonbow phenomenon , also known as “night rainbows” or “lunar rainbows,” is approaching its peak season this spring . The rare event can only occur if the conditions are perfect – meaning a clear evening, a full moon, abundant water in the falls, sufficient darkness, and the perfect angle to the observer… plus a bunch of other things. John Muir once described moonbows as a “grand arc of color, glowing in mild, shapely beauty,” comparing it to a religious experience. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2556692259765/rockfish-season-in-full-swing | 2022-04-01T01:32:45Z |

fine line, This is one of his most emotionally powerful songs ever. He sings about coping with personal changes with the chorus, “It’s just us in this world / You know it ain’t what it was.”
It’s a daring change for Styles, unlike anything he’s done musically before. They began their first two albums, Epochs, with Grand Confessions, “Sign of the Times” and “Lights Up”. But “As It Was” is more nakedly vulnerable, a straight-up heart cry that’s also an irresistible dance-floor challenge. It starts with…

CNN — US citizens will have the option to select “X” when identifying their gender on US passport applications starting in April and on other documents, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Thursday.
“Starting on April 11, US citizens will be able to select an X as their gender marker on their US passport application, and the option will become available for other forms of documentation next year,” Blinken said in a statement. “After thoughtful consideration of the research conducted and feedback from community members, we concluded that the definition of the X gender marker on State Department public forms will be ‘Unspecified or another gender identity.’ This definition is respectful of individuals’ privacy while advancing inclusion.”
The announcement comes on International Transgender Day of Visibility and as the Biden administration continues with efforts to implement gender-inclusive policies, CNN reported.
The administration is also expected to partner with airlines, the Transportation Security Administration, and the Department of Homeland Security to add “X” gender markers to their systems, according to an administration fact sheet shared with CNN.
International Transgender Day of Visibility aims to celebrate the achievements of transgender rights activists and to increase awareness of the ongoing challenges transgender and gender-nonconforming people face.
The State Department announced in June it would update its procedures to allow applicants to self-select their sex marker for passports and that it “will no longer require medical certification” if an applicant’s self-selected sex marker doesn’t match the sex listed on other official identity documents.
The US joins Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other countries with similar gender-inclusive passport policies.
The State Department issued the first US passport with an “X” gender marker in October.

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.

A key market gauge of the risk of future recessions flashed a warning signal on Thursday afternoon.
The yield on two-year Treasury bonds climbed above the yield on 10-year Treasury bonds, a phenomenon known as an inverted yield curve.
The yield curve is regarded as a reliable predictor of recessions, having inverted before each of the last eight recessions as measured by the National Bureau of Economic Research. The yield curve inverted in 2007, foreshadowing the recession of 2008-09; and, spookily, it inverted in 2019.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 2.331 percent on Thursday when the yield on the two-year Treasury was at 2.337 percent. After the brief inversion, the curve righted itself as the two-year fell to 2.335 percent while the 10-year rose to 2.345 percent.
With the curve that flat, however, another inversion is a real risk.
The difference between the yields on the two-year and the 10-year has been narrowing for weeks. Other parts of the yield curve had already inverted, with the three-year Treasury bond yielding more than the five-year and the five-year more than the seven-year. Those yields, however, are not regarded as particularly reliable barometers.
Normally, longer maturity bonds have higher yields than shorter maturity bonds as investors demand a premium for locking up capital for longer. An inverted curve suggests that investors expect lower interest rates in the more distant future than they anticipate in the near future. Typically, investors expect lower rates because they anticipate the Fed will have to lower its target to reverse or prevent an economic downturn.
In this case, it seems that the investors suspect that the Federal Reserve’s current path of tightening monetary policy—by raising its interest rate target, increasing the interest it pays on reserves, and allowing its huge stockpile of bonds to shrink as bonds mature—will have to be reversed in the future. It may indicate that investors think the Fed will overdo the tightening, pushing the economy into a recession.
Analysts dispute exactly why an inverted yield curve predicts recessions so reliably. Clearly, the 2019 inversion was not due to investors foreseeing the pandemic and lockdown that briefly threw the economy into a recession in 2020. Some analysts think an inversion can cause a recession mechanically, perhaps by reducing the willingness of banks to lend. Others say an inversion merely reflects murkier information that indicate a recession lies ahead.
When the yield curve inverted in 2019, there were many who claimed it was “different this time.” That’s the case again. Some believe that the yield curve’s signal has been scrambled by the Fed’s expanded balance sheet and perhaps by the economic turbulence stirred up by the pandemic. There’s also a question of whether the yield curve’s signal might be scrambled by the fact that Treasuries of all maturities now have negative yields, meaning they would lose money if inflation remains at the current level or even at lower levels expected for the next several years.
Some economists insist that it’s not the difference between 10-year and two-year yields that matters but the difference between the 10-year and three-month yields. With the three-month yield at 0.518, that part of the curve remains un-inverted.
There have been false alarm inversions in the past. The curve inverted in 1966 and briefly in 1998 without leading to a subsequent recession. Some would count the 2019 inversion as a false alarm also—although we cannot know whether we would have got a recession if not for the pandemic.
For now, there may be some comfort to be taken in the fact that the inversion was so brief that it had to be confirmed by CNBC looking at the digital ticker tape moment by moment. Many economists and analysts claim that only a lasting inversion is telling. But if the curve inverts again, which is all too possible given its flatness, that thread of hope will be cut.
There is a silver lining to inversions. Stocks tend to do quite well in the months following an inversion. Energy stocks, in particular, seem to do well in the aftermath of an inversion, according to research from Bank of America. At the conclusion of the roughest quarter for stocks in years, that’s sure to be a welcome reprieve. | https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2022/03/31/breitbart-business-digest-the-yield-curve-inverted/ | 2022-04-01T01:32:48Z |

Maryland would join the District and nine other states, including New Jersey, Washington and Massachusetts, that have created similar job protection programs. President Biden campaigned on establishing a federal paid family leave policy, bringing the country in line with other developed nations, but efforts have stalled on Capitol Hill.
In Annapolis, momentum began to build this year after the coronavirus pandemic sharpened a focus on meeting the personal and family needs of health-care workers, and the impact on the workforce when those needs aren’t met. The legislation the Senate passed late Thursday, 31 to 15, left several key questions about the plan unanswered, including how much employees and employers would be responsible for contributing to the fund.
“This is a great day for Maryland workers,” said Myles Hicks, who led a coalition of unions, religious organizations and others advocating for the bills, in a statement.
It remains unclear whether Hogan will sign the bill or veto it. Michael Ricci, a Hogan spoken, said the governor has not taken a position on the measure, which counts among its detractors many Republican state lawmakers and business owners.
“It’s incredibly disappointing to see the General Assembly pass a payroll tax at a time of record inflation and rising prices on everything from a loaf of bread to a gallon of gas,” Mike O’Halloran, state director of Maryland and Delaware for the National Federation of Independent Business, said in a statement. “The legislature is telling small businesses and their employees to stretch their paychecks even further at a time when they can least afford it.”
Under the program, employees would have to use all of the leave offered by their employer, without their job being jeopardized, before receiving leave under the new program.
Looming questions over critical details — how much workers and employers should pay and who should administer the program — result from a compromise between proposals with contrasting approaches.
The Senate bill called for employees to cover 75 percent of the costs of the program, with employers paying 25 percent. The final approved bill leaves that issue unresolved; instead, it requires the state labor department to do a cost analysis to figure out how much the program should cost. Another study would decide whether the state or contractor should administer the program.
Republican lawmakers argued the program will squeeze businesses that are still struggling to survive since the pandemic.
Del. April Rose (R-Carroll) compared the bill to going to a car lot and saying: “Tell me how much it cost later and I’ll just sign the check.”
They offered numerous unsuccessful amendments, including a cap of 12 weeks instead of the 24 weeks that would be offered to certain new parents; an allowance for an employer to deny a claim if the worker’s absence will cause an employer “a hardship”; and an exemption for agricultural workers under the H2 visa program.
They argued that people will misuse the benefit, creating bigger problems for businesses struggling with staffing. “If you pay people to stay home, they will,” Del. Brian Chisholm (R-Anne Arundel) said.
Economic Matter Chairman C.T. Wilson (D-Charles) said the bill is for new birth or adoptive parents and employees who have a “serious health problem” or are caring for a family member who is seriously ill. A new parent who used 12 weeks due to a serious illness would be eligible for another 12 weeks to bond with a new child.
Several lawmakers, including Sen. Antonio Hayes (D-Baltimore City), the bill sponsor, told personal stories about the impact of paid leave on their lives during debate. For Hayes, it meant being able to care for his grandmother, who helped raise him and suffers from Alzheimer’s, without worrying about losing his job.
“No individual should ever have to decide between their job and their families need,” he said. “This is a long time coming.”
The bill exempts employers with fewer than 15 workers from having to contribute to the fund, but their full-and part-time employees — who worked more than 680 hours in the last year — would pay into the fund and be eligible to receive the benefit. Wilson objected to efforts to exempt other workers.
“We shouldn’t treat them less than our white-collar workers,” Wilson said of the amendment to exempt agricultural and workers in the crab picking industry. “We’re not trying to leave the least of us behind.” | https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/04/01/paid-leave-maryland-employees/ | 2022-04-01T01:32:48Z |

By Dr. Graham A. Colditz
Physical activity is good for us, we all know. Yet it can be hard to fit into our daily schedules – and it’s easy to understand why. Family, school, work and other important obligations can take up a lot of our time and energy.
But there is one healthy activity most of us can fit into a packed schedule – and it’s often hidden in plain sight: walking. You may not see it highlighted often by social media influencers, but for something so simple it has a huge amount going for it.
“Walking has far-reaching benefits, including reduced anxiety and depression, improved mobility and cardiovascular health, increased brain function, weight loss, and it adds years to life,” said Liz Salerno, an assistant professor in the division of public health sciences at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.
And you don’t need to walk a huge amount to benefit. While a popular goal is 10,000 steps per day (about five miles), studies have found that walking even half of that can help people live longer. More, though, is usually better, but only up to a point.
Health gains begin to taper off when you hit 10,000 steps or more per day, Salerno continued. “The sweet spot – with the biggest gains – seems to be around 7,000-8,000 steps,” she said.
If you’re starting a new walking program, or are re-starting one after winter or extended pandemic time off, a good goal is just to get moving a little more than usual. Take things slowly and include some rest days between walking sessions, initially. And know that even short walks can add up to big benefits down the road.
“Start with a walk to the end of the block and back, then over time you can make your way around the block,” Salerno said. “Before long, you’ll be strolling around the neighborhood. And remember that you don’t have to break a sweat to benefit.”
Keeping track of your progress is easier than ever these days. Inexpensive pedometers do a great job of tracking steps, as do fitness trackers, smartphones and many watches. Just remember to take one on your walks.
And adding steps to your day can be easier than you think. You don’t need to log them in one big walk, unless you want to. Small bits add up, like taking the dog out for a quick walk after dinner, taking stairs instead of the elevator, getting off the bus a stop or two early and walking the rest of the way or walking your kids home after school or day care.
If it’s hard to walk safely around your area, some extra planning can help. Indoor malls or recreation centers are great places to get in some steps. At home, you can stream walking videos or listen to podcasts while pacing some laps in a hallway. And if you walk outside, try to choose safe routes, dress for the weather, wear bright or reflective clothes so cars and cyclists can see you and take a friend or two, which can make it more fun, as well.
After a long winter, the warmer, longer spring days can be just what we need to start adding steps to our days and giving our health an extra boost. While walking may not get much fanfare, it sure should.
“It’s a great way to live a physically active life without needing fancy equipment or a gym membership,” Salerno said. “No tools required besides your own two feet!”

- 2021 third party revenue of $1.009 billion, inclusive of $469 million in dental revenue and $540 million in spine revenue
- Completed spine brand rationalization in the second half of 2021, resulting in a charge of $40 million
- Successfully spun-off into an independent, publicly traded company effective March 1, 2022
- Reaffirming 2022 financial guidance
WESTMINSTER, Colo., March 31, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ZimVie Inc. (Nasdaq: ZIMV), a global life sciences leader in the dental and spine markets, today reported financial results for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2021.
“We are intently focused on strengthening our foundation in the $20 billion global dental and spine markets as we progress from our recent spin-off,” said Vafa Jamali, President and Chief Executive Officer of ZimVie. “We have a broad portfolio of trusted brands, clinically-proven products, and the global resources of a large multinational company – creating a unique opportunity for execution and growth – and we look forward to improving upon our 2021 results.”
Full Year 2021 Financial Results
Third party revenue for the full year 2021 was $1,008.8 million[1], an increase of $111.9 million, or 12.5%, versus 2020. Third party dental segment revenue increased by $100.7 million, or 27.4%, primarily driven by increased procedure volume as a result of fewer COVID-19 restrictions and increased demand for our dental products. Third party spine segment revenue increased by $11.2 million, or 2.1%, primarily driven by increased procedure volume as a result of fewer COVID-19 restrictions, partially offset by ongoing competition in the spine market. Related party revenue for 2021 was $5.8 million.
Operating loss for the full year 2021 of $100.5 million represented an improvement of $122.1 million, or 54.9%, versus 2020. This improved performance was due to higher revenue in 2021 and a goodwill impairment charge in 2020 that did not re-occur in 2021, partially offset by a $40.3 million brand rationalization charge in 2021 related to products we intend to discontinue and a resumption of spending in 2021 that had been reduced in 2020 due to COVID-19.
Net loss for the full year 2021 was $95.3 million, an improvement of $83.7 million, or 46.8%, versus 2020. Adjusted EBITDA[2] for the full year 2021 was $131.6 million, an increase of $34.9 million, or 36.1%, versus 2020. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA relative to 2020 was due to increased revenue in 2021, partially offset by a resumption of spending that had been reduced in 2020 due to COVID-19.
ZimVie is reaffirming full-year 2022 financial guidance:
[1] Includes $9 million in revenue from exited markets; related party revenues were $5.8 million
[2]. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Refer to “Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the reconciliations in this release for further information.
[3] These measures are non-GAAP financial measures for which a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is not available without unreasonable efforts. Refer to “Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in this release for further information.
Continued uncertainty due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic could materially impact the company’s projections.
Fully Diluted Share Count
Previously, ZimVie provided 2022 undiluted share count guidance of 26.1 million shares but did not provide a fully diluted share count. ZimVie currently expects fully diluted shares of approximately 26.6 million at fiscal year-end 2022.
Supplemental Financial Information
See “Financial Tables” below for quarterly 2021 financial results.

Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures that differ from financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, other measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure provided in this release for certain periods, and is calculated by excluding certain items from net loss on a GAAP basis, as detailed in the reconciliations presented later in this press release. Adjusted EBITDA margin is Adjusted EBITDA divided by Adjusted Net Sales for the applicable period. Adjusted Net Sales is calculated by excluding certain items from net sales on a GAAP basis, as detailed in the reconciliations presented later in this press release.
Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in this press release.
Management uses non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate the performance of the business. Additionally, management believes these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful incremental information to investors to consider when evaluating the performance of the company. Management believes these measures offer the ability to make period-to-period comparisons that are not impacted by certain items that can cause dramatic changes in reported income but that do not impact the fundamentals of our operations. The non-GAAP measures enable the evaluation of operating results and trend analysis by allowing a reader to better identify operating trends that may otherwise be masked or distorted by these types of items that are excluded from the non-GAAP measures.
Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release also includes certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures for the year ending December 31, 2022. We calculate forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures based on internal forecasts that omit certain amounts that would be included in GAAP financial measures. We have not provided quantitative reconciliations of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures because the excluded items are not available on a prospective basis without unreasonable efforts. For example, the timing of certain transactions is difficult to predict because management’s plans may change. In addition, the company believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors. It is probable that these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures may be materially different from the corresponding GAAP financial measures.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws, including, among others, any statements about our expectations, plans, intentions, strategies, or prospects. We generally use the words “may,” “will,” “expects,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “estimates,” “projects,” “assumes,” “guides,” “targets,” “forecasts,” “sees,” “seeks,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predicts,” “potential,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “work toward,” “intends,” “guidance,” “confidence,” “positioned,” “design,” “strive,” “continue,” “look forward to” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.

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.”

FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. (WDVM) — Fairfax County police are investigating the deaths of two inmates after they were found dead inside their cells at the Adult Detention Center just days apart.
Police say 55-year-old Kyung Pil Chang was found dead in his single cell on Tuesday, and 65-year-old George Redmond was found on Monday.
The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner ruled that there were no signs of foul play in both cases.
Chang, a massage therapist, was in custody at the Adult Detention Center after a victim claimed that Chang inappropriately touched her during a massage. He was charged with three counts of aggravated sexual battery, one warrant for object sexual penetration, and practicing as an unlicensed masseuse.
Redmond was in custody due to a failure to appear warrant related to a charge of trespassing and destruction of property. | https://www.localdvm.com/news/virginia/man-arrested-for-sex-crimes-found-dead-inside-fairfax-co-detention-center/ | 2022-04-01T01:32:52Z |

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.

MIAMI (AP) — A Florida police officer fatally shot a man who was able to arm himself after being arrested Thursday in western Miami-Dade, officials said.
The shooting occurred shortly before noon at the man’s home, according to a police news release.
Miami-Dade police officers had been assisting Homeland Security Investigations and the U.S. Marshals Service when they took a 53-year-old man into custody, police said.
The man complained of feeling ill, and Miami-Dade Fire Rescue responded to evaluate him. During this process, the man somehow armed himself, and shots were fired, officials said.
The man died at the scene. No other injuries were reported.
The shooting is being investigated by state police officials.
Police did not immediately release the names or races of the man, as well as the officer who shot him. | https://abc-7.com/news/state/2022/03/31/police-officer-kills-florida-man-who-armed-himself-while-in-custody/ | 2022-04-01T01:32:54Z |
A Disney production coordinator who works on an animated series for kids has revealed that he believes it is important to champion transgender, asexual, and other queer characters on the show.
Allen March, who works on Disney-Marvel’s Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, spoke during a recent Disney internal meeting focused on the company’s “Reimagine Tomorrow” initiative dedicated to highlighting “underrepresented voices.”
Leaked video of the virtual meeting was obtained by journalist Christopher Rufo, who has posted it to social media.
March said the Moon Girl team has been “really open to exploring queer stories,” adding that he wants to emphasize transgender and queer characters to create a more authentic, contemporary New York setting for the series, which airs on the Disney Channel.
“Especially with trans characters. You can’t see if someone is trans,” he said. “There’s not one way to look trans. And so kind of the only way to have these canonical trans, canonical asexual characters, canonical bisexual characters is to give them stories where they can be their whole selves.”

During the meeting, March also acknowledged that the media has a lot of power to influence children on “what is normal.”
Children are “getting all this information from the media,” he said, and “there’s a lot of power to that.”

The leaked videos come as the Walt Disney Co. is contending with widespread backlash for vowing to fight Florida’s Parental Rights in Education legislation, which Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) recently signed into law.
The law forbids the teaching of sexual orientation and gender ideology to young children, in kindergarten through third grade.
As Breitbart News reported, Disney has promised to help fight the law in courts and in the legislature, saying that its goal is to see the law overturned.
DeSantis has blasted Disney leadership, saying the company isn’t going to succeed in imposing “California values” to overturn a law that is “supported by a strong majority” of people in Florida.

There have been 17 more deaths of people with Covid-19 in New Zealand over the past 7 days, the Ministry of Health announced on Friday.
It includes 15 deaths in the past two days.
The ministry said the delays to reporting can be associated with people dying with, rather than from Covid-19, and Covid being discovered only after they have died.
Two people were in their 50s, four were in their 60s, five were in their 70s, three in their 80s and three were over 90, the ministry said.
Seven were from the Auckland region, two were from Waikato, one was from Bay of Plenty, one was from Lakes, one was from Hawke’s Bay, one was from Wellington, one was from Canterbury, one was from the West Coast, and two were from Southern.
Fifteen were male and two were female.
"Our thoughts and condolences are with their whānau and friends at this sad time," the ministry said.
It brings the total number of publicly reported deaths with Covid-19 to 355 and the seven-day rolling average of reported deaths to 17.
There were 13,475 Covid-19 community cases to report on Friday. | https://www.1news.co.nz/2022/04/01/15-more-covid-related-deaths-in-last-2-days-in-nz/ | 2022-04-01T01:32:55Z |
VIRGINIA (WDVM) — Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine spoke on China’s involvement in Latin America and the Caribbean during a hearing Thursday.
Kaine chaired a Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee hearing on the western hemisphere to discuss challenges regarding China’s economic, diplomatic, and security involvement in Latin America and the Caribbean.
The senator addressed the Biden administration officials and other foreign policy experts about the relationship between the U.S. and foreign countries.
“East-West issues receive outsized attention in the media and in our own foreign policy work, and that’s understandable; but north-south ties are every bit as important because of the inextricable political, cultural, and economic bonds we share with our neighbors throughout the Americas,” said Kaine.
The senator says the U.S. needs to strengthen its engagement with other countries. | https://www.localdvm.com/news/virginia/sen-tim-kaine-speaks-on-foreign-relations/ | 2022-04-01T01:32:58Z |

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

The ceremony, which was presided over by the Bishop of Chikotimi, Ms. René Gué, was preceded by a gathering of a few hundred people at 3 p.m.
Several government dignitaries, former politicians, relatives and friends gathered with the Bedard family at the religious shrine the politician cherished and for which he remained involved until his death on November 25, 2020.

The counting is over in the second union election at an Amazon warehouse in Bessemer, Alabama. But it's too close to call.
There were 993 "no" votes and 875 "yes" votes, but more than 400 contested ballots remain. According to the National Labor Relations Board, there will be a hearing within a few weeks to decide if any of the challenged ballots will be opened and counted.
More than 6,100 workers were eligible to vote in the do-over election, which was ordered after the NLRB found that Amazon had improperly interfered in last year's tally.
Turnout in this year's vote was down from last year when over half of eligible voters cast ballots. But among those who actually voted this time around, there was greater support for the union. Last year, workers voted more than 2-to-1 against joining the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, a well-established national union.
"This time around we were able to educate more about unions," said Jennifer Bates, a warehouse employee, noting that organizers were able to get closer to workers now that the pandemic has eased.
The RWDSU called for every vote to be counted.
"The tenacity and courage of these workers never wavered in this unnecessarily long process," said RWDSU president Stuart Appelbaum in a statement. "Workers will have to wait just a little bit longer to ensure their voices are heard."
Meanwhile in a separate Amazon union election on Staten Island in New York, the vote count will continue Friday morning. Roughly 8,000 workers were eligible to vote on whether to join the Amazon Labor Union, an upstart organization led by former and current Amazon warehouse employees. With ballots still to count, the union is in the lead, with 1,518 voting yes so far, and 1,154 voting no.

Joe Biden is trying to have his cake and eat it too as he shuts down exploration and production of oil and gas on onshore federal lands while acknowledging the importance of fossil fuels in the U.S. energy landscape.
The Oil Price dot com website reported on the Biden Administration shutting down lease sales for offshore oil and gas in the Gulf of Mexico as prices for the fossil fuels soar. The reported was based on a Bloomberg analysis of the president’s budget plan for fiscal year 2023:
In the budget plan for the fiscal year 2023, the U.S. Administration expects oil and gas rents and bonuses of just $25 million in the fiscal year 2023, compared to $395.5 million for fiscal year 2022. The drop of $370 million, Bloomberg notes, is the typical haul for the government from two oil and gas lease auctions in the Gulf of Mexico.
On Tuesday, the American Petroleum Institute (API) and the National Ocean Industries Association (NOIA) released a new analysis outlining the potential economic consequences of delaying the Department of the Interior’s five-year program for leasing in the Gulf of Mexico. The next five-year offshore leasing program must be in place by July 1, 2022, but is well behind schedule, and no offshore lease sales can be held unless DOI implements a new program, the API and NOIA said. A delayed five-year program could jeopardize an average of $5 billion in U.S. GDP, they added.
“A delay in the offshore oil and gas leasing program could mean nearly 500,000 barrels per day produced here in the US. At a time of geopolitical uncertainty and rapidly rising energy prices, Gulf of Mexico oil and gas production is more important than ever,” NOIA said.
API also responded to Biden’s announcement about the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. API President and CEO Mike Sommers said in an email sent to the media.
There are many factors behind rising energy costs, from geopolitical volatility and supply chain constraints to policy uncertainty, and the American people deserve real solutions. The SPR was put in place to reduce the impact of significant supply chain disruptions, and while today’s release may provide some short-term relief, it is far from a long-term solution to the economic pain Americans are feeling at the pump.
“The best thing the White House can do right now is to remove barriers to investment in American energy production and infrastructure,” Sommers said. “Unfortunately, today we heard more mixed signals about developing affordable, reliable and secure American natural gas and oil.” He went on to say:
The administration once again has a fundamental misunderstanding of how leases work, The percentage of producing leases is at a two-decade high, with nearly two out of three leases producing natural gas and oil. With nearly 5,000 permits awaiting approval from the administration and thousands more tied up in litigation, we stand ready to work with the administration to expand domestic production and ensure the U.S. and our allies have access to the affordable, reliable energy that’s needed not only today but for years to come.
The Washington Post reported on Biden’s policies, including his “use it or lose it” ultimatum to oil and gas companies that have leases that are not actively producing:
Biden faces political pressure to show he is tackling high gas prices, and he sought to deflect voters’ anger, blaming Russian President Vladimir Putin for launching the war against Ukraine and citing oil companies for leaving drilling prospects idle and land untapped. The president also noted that the country’s rapid recovery from the pandemic had unleashed a torrent of demand for fuel.
During his 14-minute speech, Biden mentioned Putin’s name about a dozen times — “Putin’s war,” “Putin’s actions,” “Putin’s price hike” — almost once a minute.
Saying some U.S. oil companies are putting profits over production, he called on Congress to impose fees on companies that do not take full advantage of the leases allowing them to extract oil from federal land. “It’s not the time to sit on record profits. It’s time to step up for the good of your country,” Biden said.

Nestled on the side of E High St. in a bustling Lexington neighborhood is the cozy Bella Café & Grille, a restaurant which offers a “living room” dining atmosphere and cuisine that is simple but elevated.
The café is an offshoot of the more well-known Bella Notte and Smashing Tomato restaurants, which were founded by Kuni Toyoda.
Having only been open for a little over a year, Bella Café & Grille has spent the past couple of months figuring out its place in the community.
General manager Jim Monast described the feel of the restaurant and how he helps to make day to day operations run smoothly.
“It feels very residential, it really feels like a living room … It’s like you’re coming to our home for us to entertain you and to have a good meal,” Monast said. “Being that we appeal to the neighborhood, it’s not unusual when you’re taking a party to their table and they stop at the bar to talk to their friends and then at this table and the next table. It’s like everyone knows everybody.”
Monast said that along with the warm nature of the dining area, working as a team and valuing employees is the most important aspect of ensuring customers’ happiness.
“If you want to have the best people, you have to pay for it. Paying someone $15 doesn’t give you a great worker,” Monast said. “It’s how you take care of them, and how you connect with them … You’ve got to come into work [and say] ‘How are you doing?’ ‘How’s your day?’ ‘How are things going?’ ‘What do you need?’ That’s what I do. I make sure they get what they need. I can’t do all the work in this business, no one person can.”
For Monast, his role involves not only making sure his customers and employees are taken care of, but also pitching in to run food and wash dishes.
“We don’t have dishwashers here. We don’t have that title,” he said. “We don’t have an employee here that has the job description of a dishwasher. Everybody washes dishes here. Part of it is a function of our limited capacity in this kitchen, and part of it is the culture of what we want here.”
The uncomplicated yet high quality dining options are another concept that the café feels is important to its brand and how they would like to be portrayed by customers.
“The food is simple ... you don’t want to make it too esoteric where people don’t recognize what you’ve got,” Monast said. “You don’t want it to be a special occasion, you want people to feel comfortable to come here regularly. We have a pasta dish, halibut, steaks, burgers. What we’ve done when we look at a menu is try to do food that people are familiar with but elevate it a little bit.”
Though the food is why people may decide to come to the restaurant, the community and care for the customer is what will make them stay.
Monast says that his favorite part about working at a smaller store is the “connection to people” and being able to learn the names of the regulars, calling them the “bread and butter” of the shop. He said that they are the ones who will spread the word to others.
In the coming months, Monast hopes to increase the visibility of the restaurant and bring in new customers, adding they had a record last week in sales and the business has seen steady growth since its opening.
“It far exceeded the initial expectations for this business; it’s still growing ... [But] I still don’t think we’ve reached the potential of what this particular restaurant does,” Monast said.
He said that the Lexington community has been in the center of the success.
“It’s very local, there’s a connection with the community … you can see right here we don’t have any parking to get into the place … but the local folks just walk over,” he said. “They’ve really supported us.” | http://www.kykernel.com/features/customers-are-family-at-bella-caf-grille/article_b34bb06e-b0f2-11ec-93dc-a73f73db3d51.html | 2022-04-01T01:33:02Z |
Surgeries hang in the balance as COVID strikes down health staff
By Matt Dennien
Some Queensland hospitals could suspend elective surgeries as rising COVID cases and hospitalisations of health staff and infected patients place pressure on the health system.
Fifty extra pop-up vaccination clinics will be set up for the school holidays to make it easier for families and children to get the jab — with school-aged and booster rates lagging.
A total of 10,722 new infections were reported on Friday, with 403 people in the state’s public and private hospital system with the virus. Fourteen of these are in intensive care units.
The number of Queensland Health and ambulance staff off work because of infections or close contact requirements had also risen again to 3305, more than double the number of a week ago.
“This will put increasing pressures on our health systems,” Health Minister Yvette D’Ath said.
“Each hospital and health service, based on their demand, can be looking at whether they need to suspend planned care - that means elective surgery.
“We are not at this stage looking at having a statewide suspension of elective surgery, and we hope not to need to do that in this current wave.”
Ms D’Ath said 2373 of the new cases were children, and she urged parents and carers to take advantage of the pop-up clinics set to spring up at shopping centres, amusement parks and schools.
More details were expected to be released on the Queensland Health website.
Chief Health Officer John Gerrard said the disproportionate number of children being infected was likely due to low vaccination rates among the cohort and less exposure to the previous wave of the virus in January.
He said the state was approaching the peak of the latest wave, meaning case numbers could soon decline, but hospitalisations and health workforce pressures would lag by one or two weeks.
Data suggested the wave would be about one-third the size of January’s peak owing to increased vaccination. But authorities were still unsure whether winter would bring another wave.
“Vaccination has completely transformed this pandemic,” Dr Gerrard said. “So it’s critical, of course, that people continue to get vaccinated.“
Queensland’s booster rate among the eligible population, at 61.4 per cent, is the lowest in the country.
And its vaccination rate among the five- to 11-year-old age group sits at only 43.3 per cent first-dosed.

Police say the number of vehicles being stolen in Manawatū is on the rise, but that "a number" could be blamed on "a comparatively small number of offenders".
Detective Sergeant Carl Newton said, since the start of the year, about 350 vehicles had been stolen as well as a number of trailers.
"Since the start of the year, six offenders have been positively identified as collectively committing over 80 vehicle offences in the region."
Newton urged people to take steps to prevent their cars from being stolen in the first place.
"While the vast majority of stolen cars are recovered by police, they are often damaged, and the theft of a vehicle is not only disruptive but upsetting for many people."
Preventative measures included:
- Investing in anti-theft systems such as a steering wheel lock or alarm system, including for trailers
- Giving the impression an alarm system is installed with stickers on windows or flashing LEDs on the dashboard
- Always locking your car, even when it is parked in the driveway
- Avoiding leaving valuables in your vehicle
- Parking in well-lit, busy areas
It comes amid hundreds of recent car thefts in other parts of the country.
In Rotorua, 160 vehicles had been reported as stolen in the past month.
In Waikato, police said more than 500 vehicles had been stolen in Hamilton since February 1.
Police in both regions said the stolen vehicles were sometimes used to commit other crimes.
People in rural areas were also urged to be vigilant. On Thursday, Invercargill police reported a property owner was threatened by four men using a stolen car because they wanted to rob fuel from his vehicle.
On Tuesday, AMI Insurance released its list of New Zealand's top 10 most stolen cars. The Mazda Demio took first place. | https://www.1news.co.nz/2022/04/01/350-vehicles-trailers-stolen-in-manawatu-this-year/ | 2022-04-01T01:33:01Z |

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – For some people, overdraft fees are a frustrating inconvenience. For others, they pose crippling costs. Some lawmakers now want to change how they’re charged altogether.
Rep. Carolyn Maloney introduced legislation called the “Overdraft Protection Act.” The bill includes provisions to cap the amount and number of fees a bank can charge.
“My bill tries to cut down on these unfair and deceptive practices,” the New York Democrat said.
Advocates like Elyse Crawford-Hicks with Americans for Financial Reform say overdraft fees hit low-income families and people of color the hardest.
“Overdraft fees are paid the most by people who can least afford them,” Crawford-Hicks said.
Others say over-drafting is a useful service because it can function like a short-term loan. Paul Kundert is the CEO of UW Credit Union, which recently reduced their overdraft fees and put more limits on how they charge them.
“When prices are fair, we believe consumers do benefit from access to the credit provided by overdraft fees,” Kundert said.
Recently, major banks like Wells Fargo, Citigroup and Bank of America have made changes themselves, by reducing their overdraft fees or eliminating them altogether.
Rep. Roger Williams, R-Texas, says that demonstrates the legislation is unnecessary.
“The market is naturally, naturally taking care of the issue without government intervention. And we do not need more rules from Washington,” Williams said.
Because banks make billions of dollars in revenue from overdraft fees, George Mason University Foundation Professor of Law Todd Zywicki argues the proposed changes would cost consumers.
“We’ll see higher bank fees, we’ll see higher minimum monthly deposits as basically insurance against over-drafting and we will see a loss of access to free checking,” Zywicki said.
Lawmakers like Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., are promising to continue pushing for the reforms.
“How can we perform such an abusive and predatory practice that punishes people simply for being poor?” Pressley said. | https://www.localdvm.com/news/washington-dc/bill-seeks-to-put-cap-on-overdraft-fees/ | 2022-04-01T01:33:04Z |
