DENVER — Thursday is César Chávez Day, a federally-recognized holiday that celebrates the legacy of the civil rights and labor movement activist.
"One of my favorite quotes from him is that it's never about the grapes or lettuce, it's about the people," said Pamela Reséndiz Trujano, executive director of Colorado Jobs with Justice.
Reséndiz Trujano said they're continuing Chávez's fight for agricultural workers' rights by announcing a lawsuit against Gov. Jared Polis and the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment.
“The fact we have lived and are continuing to experience a pandemic where we call these workers essential workers, where we call them heroes, and yet we don’t pay them with that reflection of those names," they said. "They deserve equal pay for equal work, which they're not getting right now and potentially won't get until 2025."
Senate Bill 21-087, or "Agricultural Workers' Rights," took effect this year. It's meant to protect farmworkers who take on long hours in brutal heat.
Reséndiz Trujano said the law improved access to shade and water and to healthcare and housing services. It also allowed farmworkers to organize and get minimum wage and banned the use of the short-handled hoe, which is also known as the "devil's arm."
But Reséndiz Trujano said it's still not enough, especially for farmworkers who make around $26,000 annually.
"The one thing that is still outstanding is overtime," they said. “We feel as Colorado Jobs with Justice that if workers aren’t able to acquire overtime pay like all other workers, which is after 40 hours, that the actual legislation is not being fulfilled to its fullest and workers are continuing to be exploited, particularly because of who most likely farmworkers are, which is either people of color or immigrants.”
Reséndiz Trujano said farmworkers won't get overtime pay until the 2023 growing season. The overtime will take effect after 60 hours of work. Depending on the size of the farm, they could be eligible for overtime after 48 to 52 hours.
"It makes it seem as though their labor or their time is not as valuable as the labor and time of other workers in other industries, even seasonal industries," they said.
9NEWS reached out to Polis' office and the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment regarding the lawsuit. Both said they do not comment on pending litigation.
The Colorado Department of Labor and Employment also said "published guidance on overtime and other labor rights and responsibilities, in agriculture and beyond, are at cdle.colorado.gov/infos — see INFO #1 & #12-12D."

BOSTON (AP) — A bill aimed at banning discrimination based on natural and protective hairstyles in workplaces, school districts, and school-related organizations was unanimously approved Thursday by the Massachusetts Senate.
The vote comes two weeks after the Massachusetts House approved a similar bill.
Supporters say Black women in particular have faced pressure in school and the workplace to alter their hair to conform to policies biased against natural hairstyles.
The Senate added a provision to the House version of the bill that would include the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association to the list of school entities banned from adopting and implementing restrictions on natural hairstyles.
Advocates say the change will ensure those participating in sports and extracurricular activities will not be asked to change their natural or protective hairstyles in order to participate.
The bill has its roots in the case of a Massachusetts charter school that came under fire in 2017 for a policy of banning hair braid extensions. After intense criticism, the school abandoned the policy.
The U.S. House also approved a bill earlier this month that would bar discrimination against Black people who wear hairstyles like Afros, cornrows or tightly coiled twists in society, school and the workplace. The federal bill would explicitly say that such discrimination is a violation of federal civil rights law.
President Joe Biden has said he would sign the bill into law. It now heads to the U.S. Senate.
Lawmakers in the Massachusetts House and Senate now have to come up with a single version of the bill before taking a final vote and shipping it to Republican Gov. Charlie Baker for his signature.
If signed into law, Massachusetts would become the fifteenth state to adopt the measure, known as the CROWN Act. | https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Bill-banning-hairstyle-bias-approved-by-17049811.php | 2022-04-01T01:35:56Z |

The Ukrainian government said Russian forces blocked 45 buses that had been sent to evacuate civilians from the besieged port city of Mariupol, and only 631 people were able to get out of the city in private cars.
Twelve Ukrainian trucks were able to deliver humanitarian supplies to Mariupol, but the supplies were seized by Russian troops, Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said late Thursday.
According to Ukrainian officials, tens of thousands of people have made it out of Mariupol in recent weeks along humanitarian corridors, reducing the prewar population of 430,000 to about 100,000 by last week.
Vereshchuk said about 45,000 Mariupol residents have been forcefully deported to Russia and areas of eastern Ukraine controlled by Russian-backed separatists.

OTHER DEVELOPMENTS:
LVIV, Ukraine — The last Russian troops left the Chernobyl nuclear plant early Friday, according to the Ukrainian government agency responsible for the exclusion zone around the plant.
Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said Russian troops who dug trenches in the forest were exposed to radiation, but that could not be confirmed.
The Ukrainian nuclear operator company Energoatom said Thursday that Russian troops were headed toward Ukraine’s border with Belarus.
Energoatom said that the Russian military was also preparing to leave Slavutych, a nearby city where power plant workers live.
__
LVIV, Ukraine — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said after Russian troops withdrew from the north and center of the country, the situation has been heating up in the southeast where Russian forces are building up for new powerful attacks.
In his nighttime video address to the nation Thursday, Zelenskyy said it was heartening for all Ukrainians to see Russian troops retreating from north of Kyiv, from around the northern town of Chernihiv and from Sumy in the northeast. By he urged Ukrainians not to let up, saying the withdrawal was just a Russian tactic.
Zelenskyy said he spoke Thursday with European Council President Charles Michel and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, while his adviser spoke with U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan.
“We need more support from our partners right now when Russian troops are concentrating additional forces in certain areas,” Zelenskyy said.

WASHINGTON — The top-ranking Ukrainian Catholic cleric in the United States warned Thursday that religious minorities in the Eastern European country stand to be “crushed” if Moscow gains control, as fighting raged on more than a month after the Russian invasion began.
Archbishop Borys Gudziak said groups at risk include Catholics, Muslims and Orthodox who have broken away from the patriarch of Moscow.
Gudziak also cited reports that Russian forces have damaged two Holocaust memorials and Moscow’s false portrayal of Ukraine as a “Nazi” state although Ukraine overwhelmingly elected a Jewish president in Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
“What is at stake for the people of faith is their freedom to practice their faith,” Gudziak said during an online panel discussion on the war, hosted by the Initiative on Catholic Social Thought and Public Life at Georgetown University.
Gudziak is head of the Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Philadelphia and president of Ukrainian Catholic University in Lviv, Ukraine. He also oversees external relations for the Kyiv-based Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church.

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon says an initial half-dozen shipments of weapons and other security assistance have reached Ukraine as part of the $800 million package of aid that President Joe Biden approved on March 16.
Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said Thursday that the shipments included Javelin anti-tank weapons, Stinger anti-aircraft missile systems, body armor, medical supplies and other material. He said the 100 Switchblade armed drones that Biden approved as part of the package have not yet been delivered.
Kirby said the $800 million in assistance is likely to be fully delivered within about two weeks. It also includes Mi-17 helicopters, small arms, ammunition, vehicles, secure communications systems, and satellite imagery and analysis capability.
Separately, Kirby said U.S. troops are not training Ukrainian troops in Poland but are acting as liaisons with Ukrainian personnel who cross the border into Poland to take possession of U.S. security assistance. He noted that the standard U.S. military training mission that had existed in Ukraine for years was suspended shortly before Russia invaded.

DOHA, Qatar — A video showing the head of Ukrainian soccer wearing an armored vest on the streets of Kyiv brought the impact of Russia’s war into the FIFA Congress.
Andriy Pavelko used a recorded message to the gathering in Qatar on Thursday to talk about the deaths of footballers even as the sport “has taken a back seat in our country.”
The gathering in Doha featured delegates from Russia, including Alexey Sorokin, the chief executive of Russia’s 2018 World Cup organizing committee.
Russia won’t be in the draw for the World Cup on Friday after being disqualified from playing internationally by FIFA over the war. Ukraine can still qualify but its playoff semifinal against Scotland has been postponed until June with the hope the team will be in a position to return to the field by then.
___
LVIV, Ukraine — Ukraine’s ombudsperson says that at least one person has been killed and four others have been wounded in the Russian shelling of a humanitarian convoy.
Ukrainian Human Rights Commissioner Lyudmyla Denisova said those who came under the shelling on Thursday were volunteers accompanying a convoy of buses sent to the northern city of Chernihiv to evacuate residents.
She said that the Russian forces besieging Chernihiv have made it impossible to evacuate civilians from the city that has been cut from food, water and other supplies.
The Russian shelling continued two days after Moscow announced it would scale back military operations around Kyiv and Chernihiv.
___
BERLIN — The International Atomic Energy Agency says it has been informed by Ukraine that the Russian forces which were in control of the Chernobyl nuclear plant have “in writing, transferred control” of the facility to Ukrainian personnel.
Ukraine said three convoys of Russian forces have already left the site toward Belarus, while the remaining troops were presumed to be preparing to leave, the agency said Thursday.
The IAEA added that it was in close consultations with Ukrainian authorities on sending a first assistance and support mission to Chernobyl in the next few days.
The agency said it has not been able to confirm reports of Russian forces receiving high doses of radiation while being inside the exclusion zone of the now-closed plant, but is seeking further information in order to provide an independent assessment of the situation.
___
ANKARA, Turkey — Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan renewed his offer to host a meeting between the Ukrainian and Russian leaders during a telephone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
A statement from Erdogan’s office said the Turkish president also told Zelenskyy Thursday that a meeting between Ukrainian and Russian negotiators who met in Istanbul earlier this week had given “a meaningful impetus” to efforts to end the fighting.
Earlier this week, Ukraine’s delegation laid out a framework under which the country would declare itself neutral and its security would be guaranteed by an array of nations, including Turkey.
Meanwhile, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said during a joint news conference with a top Turkish Cypriot official that Erdogan also is expected to speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
___
WASHINGTON — U.S. President Joe Biden on Thursday said there’s “no clear evidence” that Vladimir Putin is scaling back military operations around Kyiv and suggested that the Russian president may have ordered some of his advisers fired or placed under house arrest.
Biden told reporters that “there’s some indication” that Putin has taken those steps against some of his advisers. He added, “But I don’t want to put too much stock in that at this time because we don’t have that much hard evidence.”
The White House on Wednesday released unclassified intelligence findings that Putin is being misinformed by his advisors about how badly the Russian military is performing.
The president made the comments after formally announcing that the U.S. would release 1 million barrels of oil per day from the nation’s strategic petroleum reserve in hopes of easing surging gasoline prices.
Biden also reiterated that his administration remains skeptical that Russia will scale back operations around Kyiv as Moscow announced earlier this week.
Russian forces continued to shell Kyiv suburbs Thursday, two days after the Kremlin announced it would significantly scale back operations near both the capital and the northern city of Chernihiv.
___
UNITED NATIONS — The U.N. humanitarian coordinator in Ukraine says the United Nations and its partners have delivered supplies for thousands of people in the country’s northeast but have been unable to reach some encircled cities in the south.
Osnat Lubrani said Thursday that food rations from the humanitarian organization People in Need and the U.N. World Food Program will benefit nearly 6,000 people in Sumy and areas including Trostianets and Okhtyrka.
In addition, she said, basic household items including blankets and kettles from the U.N. refugee agency will support 1,500 people and sanitation kits will help 6,000 people with hygiene and drinking water.
Lubrani said medical supplies and trauma kits from the U.N. World Health Organization will treat 150 patients needing intensive care for serious injuries while other medical supplies will support 10,000 people for three months.
Shei said the U.N.-facilitated humanitarian notification system with Ukraine and Russia enabled safe passage for the convoy to Sumy on Thursday “but this is clearly not enough.” Efforts over the past month to reach Mauripol, Kherson and other encircled cities in the south have been unsuccessful because of safety concerns.
___
BERLIN — The U.N. nuclear watchdog says its director-general has arrived in Russia’s Baltic Sea exclave of Kaliningrad for talks with senior Russian officials.
The International Atomic Energy Agency didn’t specify in a tweet whom exactly Rafael Mariano Grossi will meet on Friday or give further details of his agenda.
He arrived in Kaliningrad Thursday following a visit to Ukraine, where he visited a nuclear power plant and conferred with the energy minister and other officials on efforts to ensure the safety of Ukraine’s nuclear power plants.
Ukraine has 15 active nuclear reactors at four plants -- one of which, at Zaporizhzhia, is under the Russian military’s control.
___
GENEVA — A team with the International Committee of the Red Cross has arrived in a Ukraine-held city where staff are preparing to take civilians out of the beleaguered port city of Mariupol.
Julien Lerisson, deputy director of operations for the ICRC, said Thursday that the team assembling in the southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia, has medicines, food, water, hygiene items and other essentials.
He said the organization has high-level agreement for the mission but is focused on making sure “the order trickles down the chain of command,” allowing the team to enter and leave Mariupol safely.
The Russian military has said it committed to a cease-fire along the route from Mariupol to Zaporizhzhia. Ukrainian authorities have said 45 buses would be sent to collect citizens and provide resources to those who remain.
Lucile Marbeau, a staff member with the ICRC team hoping to enter Mariupol, said on Thursday: “We’re here because really, we hope to be able to facilitate safe passage for civilians desperately wanting to flee Mariupol.”
___
LONDON — Britain’s defense minister says Ukraine’s international allies have agreed to send more military equipment, including artillery ammunition and armored vehicles.
U.K. Defence Secretary Ben Wallace held a conference call Thursday with defense ministers from more than 35 countries, including the United States, New Zealand, South Korea and Japan.
Wallace said that as a result “there will be more lethal aid going into Ukraine.” He said that would include “more long-range artillery, ammunition predominantly,” to help counter Russia’s bombardment of Ukraine’s cities.
Wallace said Ukraine was “also looking for armoured vehicles of some types, not tanks necessarily, but certainly protective vehicles.”
He said allies were also “looking to see what more we can do” to help Ukraine defend its coastline.
___
WASHINGTON — The Biden administration has sanctioned an employee of a state-affiliated Russian defense firm that developed malicious software that was used to target the energy sector.
The Treasury Department on Thursday sanctioned Evgeny Viktorovich Gladkikh. He was one of four Russians charged in Justice Department indictments unsealed last week that alleged the hacking by Russia of critical infrastructure around the globe, including in the U.S. energy and aviation sectors.
Among the thousands of computers targeted in some 135 countries were of a Saudi petro-chemical plant where the hackers overrode safety controls.
That hack is singled out in a Treasury Department release announcing sanctions against Gladikh and several other employees of the research firm. In total, the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control announced that it was designating 21 entities and 13 individuals, including in the aerospace, marine and electronics sectors.

LVIV, Ukraine — Russian troops were leaving the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and heading towards Ukraine’s border with Belarus, the Ukrainian nuclear operator company said Thursday.
The operator, Energoatom, said that the Russian military was also preparing to leave Slavutych, a nearby city where power plant workers live.
Energoatom also said reports were confirmed that the Russians dug trenches in the Red Forest, the 10-square-kilometer (nearly four-square-mile) area surrounding the Chernobyl plant within the Exclusion Zone, and received “significant doses of radiation.”
The Russian troops “panicked at the first sign of illness,” which “showed up very quickly,” and began to prepare to leave, the operator said. The claim couldn’t be independently verified.
Energoatom said the Russians have signed a document confirming the handover of the Chernobyl plant and stating that the plant’s administration doesn’t have any complaints about the Russian troops who were “guarding” the facility.
___
LONDON — The head of Britain’s military says Russian President Vladimir Putin has “already lost” in Ukraine and is weaker than he was before the invasion.
Adm. Tony Radakin at a think-tank seminar Thursday in London said Moscow’s aim to “take the whole of Ukraine” fell apart. He added that the coming weeks “will continue to be very difficult” for Ukraine.
“But in many ways, Putin has already lost,” he said. “Far from being the far-sighted manipulator of events that he would have us believe, Putin has damaged himself through a series of catastrophic misjudgements.”
Radakin also said there was “disquiet” at all levels of Russia’s military about the campaign, from troops who were not told they were invading Ukraine up to senior commanders.
Western officials say Putin’s small inner circle is not giving him the true picture of the war, and his isolation may have contributed to miscalculating the strength of resistance Russian troops would meet.
___
BERLIN — The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe expressed regret Thursday at Russia’s decision to veto the extension of its observer mission in Ukraine.
The OSCE’s special monitoring mission has been present in Ukraine since 2014, when fighting between Ukrainians and Russia-backed separatists broke out in the country’s eastern regions after Russia’s annexation of Crimea.
Polish Foreign Minister Zbigniew Rau, who holds the OSCE rotating chair, said the observers had played a “crucial role by providing objective information on the security and humanitarian situation on the ground and relentlessly working to ease the effects of the conflict on the civilian population” in Ukraine for the past eight year.
The Vienna-based body’s secretary general, Helga Maria Schmid, expressed gratitude to the mission’s members, several of whom were wounded or killed over the years.
___
BERLIN — Germany’s economy minister says Europe should impose additional sanctions on Russia to prevent what he described as a “barbaric” war in Ukraine.
Robert Habeck said he discussed what further measures could be taken with his French counterpart during a bilateral meeting in Berlin on Thursday.
“The last package (of sanctions) doesn’t need to be the final one, it should not be the final one,” he told reporters, adding that he and French Economy Minister Bruno Le Maire had “identified additional points that could be included in a (sanctions) package.”
Habeck declined to elaborate on what those points might be.
Speaking ahead of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s announcement on new rules requiring countries to pay for Russia’s natural gas sales in rubles, Habeck insisted that contracts would be adhered to. These stipulate payment in euros or dollars.
___
BERLIN — The Austrian and German leaders have underlined their rejection of a halt to Russian energy deliveries at this point.
Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer noted that several central and eastern European countries depend to one extent or another on Russian gas deliveries.
He and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz argued that existing sanctions already are having a significant effect and said they need time to switch to new providers and renewable energy sources.
Nehammer said that “sanctions only make sense … when they hit those they are supposed to hit, and don’t weaken those who carry out sanctions.”
___
ROME — A Kremlin decree says “unfriendly countries” can continue to pay for natural gas in foreign currency through a Russian bank that will convert the money into rubles.
The decree published Thursday by state media came a day after the leaders of Italy and Germany said they received assurances from President Vladimir Putin.
Putin talked tougher, saying Russia will start accepting ruble payments starting Friday for Western countries that imposed sanctions over its conflict with Ukraine. He said contracts will be stopped if buyers don’t sign up to the new conditions, including opening ruble accounts in Russian banks.
European leaders had rejected paying for deliveries in rubles, saying it would undermine sanctions imposed because of the war in Ukraine.
The decree Putin signed and published by state news agency RIA Novosti says a designated bank will open two accounts for each buyer, one in foreign currency and one in rubles. The buyers will pay in foreign currency and authorize the bank to sell that currency for rubles, which are placed in the second account, where the gas is formally purchased.
___
ROME — Italy’s leader is urging Europe to “cultivate all available land” as a partial remedy to reductions in agricultural imports, especially of Russian grain, due to the war in Ukraine.
Premier Mario Draghi told reporters on Thursday that under existing agricultural practices in the European Union 10% of land is purposely left fallow, but that must now change as European countries search for ways to reduce dependency on farm imports.
It’s not clear whether Ukraine, one of the world’s largest exporters of wheat, maize and sunflower oil, might be able to salvage any of this planting season.
Meanwhile, Draghi noted that Western Europe will be looking to food producers like Canada, the United States and Argentina to help make up the shortfall of imports from Ukraine and Russia.
___
STOCKHOLM — The deputy director of Sweden’s Military Intelligence and Security agency says Russia has made “a strategic miscalculation when invading Ukraine.”
Daniel Olsson said the invasion of Ukraine “has shown that the Russian leadership is ready to take great risks, larger than previously taken.”
The government agency’s analysis suggested a likely “a western containment of Russia,” including reducing trade in Russian energy.

7 Pharmaceutical Stocks to Buy For a Healthy Portfolio in 2022One year ago, investors expected 2021 to be a huge year for pharmaceutical stocks. The bullish perspective was that as vaccines rolled out and the economy reopened, investors would shift from biotech stocks to traditional pharmaceutical stocks.
But the Delta variant has kept Covid-19 top of mind for many investors. While it’s true that some pharmaceutical stocks were part of the vaccine race, other players in the space have not performed as well as was hoped. Case in point, as of October 6, 2021, the iShares U.S. Pharmaceuticals ETF (NYSEARCA:IHE) is up only 9.7% in the last 12 months. And if you bought shares of the fund at the beginning of the year, you have no growth to show for your patience.
There are reasons beyond Covid-19 to consider when assessing the disappointing performance of pharmaceutical stocks. One is the current political climate which is making no secret of its desire to reshape the healthcare industry. And it has the pricing practices of “big pharma” firmly in its crosshairs.
However, the pharmaceutical sector is still loaded with quality stocks for investors who are willing to accept the inherent risk. And that’s the focus of this special presentation. In the next few minutes, we’ll take a look at seven pharmaceutical stocks that
are ready to make strong moves forward in 2022.

The king of man-child comedy, Judd Apatow turns his attention to self-referential moviemaking spoofery with The Bubble, a limp saga (April 1, Netflix) about the disastrous birth of a would-be blockbuster.
Loosely inspired by the real-life production of Universal’s upcoming Jurassic Park: Dominion, Apatow’s latest details the creation of franchise sequel Cliff Beasts 6 during a global pandemic, which requires cast and crew to hole up in an English mansion for months on end to complete the dino-rampage project under strict quarantine guidelines. What follows is cabin fever, chaos and carnage, both on set and off. Less ever-present, alas, are actual jokes—or, rather, jokes audiences haven’t heard hundreds of times before about show business narcissism, ruthlessness, and craziness.
At a secluded English countryside estate, Carol (Karen Gillan) arrives to reprise her role as Dr. Lacey Nightingale in the sixth installment of the popular Cliff Beasts series, this after she bailed on the prior chapter in order to make a dud called Jerusalem Rising in which she played a half-Israeli, half-Palestinian heroine who was tasked with forging Middle East peace during an alien invasion. Carol’s abandonment of her Cliff Beasts pals earns her an initial reprimand from co-star Lauren (Leslie Mann), but it’s then almost immediately dropped as a plot point, as befitting a script (by Apatow and Pam Brady) that never cultivates any thread long enough to generate consistent amusement.
Joining Carol and Lauren in this sealed-off locale are Lauren’s horndog ex-husband Dustin (David Duchovny), who has scant interest in their adopted delinquent-teen son Rafael (Zander Emlano) and wants to rewrite Cliff Beasts 6 to make it more environmentally friendly; Sean (Keegan-Michael Key), who during his COVID-19 downtime decided to start a quasi-cult; Krystal (Iris Apatow), a TikTok sensation who’s there to court Gen Z viewers; and Dieter (Pedro Pascal), an actor whose primary pastimes are ingesting copious amounts of drugs and trying to hit on hotel employee Anika (Borat breakout Maria Bakalova). They’re all kept in line by ball-busting producer Gavin (Peter Serafinowicz) and dorky director Darren (Fred Armisen), both of whom report to studio chief Paula (Kate McKinnon), who chats with Gavin on Zoom from ski resorts and tropical locales that she can safely visit because—as a rich person—she’s received the vaccine months before it’s even been publicly announced.
The Bubble opens with two low-level staffers signing up for the Cliff Beasts team—Bola (Samson Kayo) and Gunther (Harry Trevaldwyn)—although Apatow doesn’t care much about the upstairs-downstairs dynamic of his scenario. Then again, it’s not exactly clear what he does care about. Lauren and Dustin are a hot mess who quickly find themselves back in each other’s arms, but their love-hate rapport is so scattershot (and ultimately dropped, due to a fatal accident that literally eliminates one of them from the picture) that it never drums up momentum. The same is true of Dieter and Anika; while the latter is intent on proving that they can be a romantic match rather than just a quick-hit fling, so little time is spent putting them in the same room together that they develop no connection. In these and other instances, Apatow ends things before he even begins them, lending the proceedings a tossed-off quality.
Most of the focus is on Carol’s mounting distaste for Cliff Beasts 6, and her attempts to cope with it by sleeping with a hunky soccer player who’s quarantining at the same hotel, and later by staging a cast revolt that promptly falls apart. There’s also some bit about the generational tension between Carol and Krystal, yet The Bubble barely has anything funny or pointed to say about its chosen issues. Instead, it exerts the majority of its energy on elaborate TikTok dances involving Krystal and her colleagues, and CGI centerpieces from Cliff Beasts 6 that are thoroughly corny, and which Apatow cuts away from to show the actors performing this same material on ridiculous-looking green screens—gags that go nowhere given that everyone already knows about the surreal artificiality of such digitally enhanced productions.
Good-natured mockery of studio filmmaking and stardom is nothing new, including from Apatow, whose Funny People is most memorable for its raft of make-believe movie posters featuring its big-screen comedian protagonist (played by Adam Sandler). And sporadically, The Bubble sharply bites the hand that feeds, as when Paula chews out Gavin, is then chewed out by her own boss (played by John Lithgow), who is then sternly talked to by his Chinese superior. Similarly, a scene involving Beck serenading the cast with a rendition of “Ladies Night”—prefaced by him stating “Thank you for fulfilling your contracts! Only 37 more days of shooting and we’ve got this one in the can!”—hilariously captures the industry’s weird art-commerce synergy. By and large, however, The Bubble’s sole idea is that actors are self-interested weirdos and dummies whose theatrical enterprises are driven by money, which is hardly an inspired starting point for hilarity.
The Bubble puts its own budget on full display throughout, yet rarely makes that a target of its satire; on the contrary, it vainly strives to elicit chuckles through sequences of running, screaming, explosions, and helicopter flights. Apatow also enlists a host of luminaries for quick cameos, including one that’s primarily via some special-effects trickery, but in virtually every case, the joke is simply that individual’s surprise participation. The fact that so many talented actors could be squandered this severely speaks less to their abilities than to a script whose characters have been imagined with, at best, a single discernible trait, and nothing approaching a uniquely off-the-wall personality. Actors may be vapid and vain, everyone in Hollywood may be desperate to hold onto whatever semblance of a career they have, and studios may now be parts of conglomerates that are run by monsters, but reiterating those well-known truths in slapdash fashion does not a memorable film make. | https://www.thedailybeast.com/judd-apatows-the-bubble-is-a-limp-mockery-of-hollywood?source=articles&via=rss | 2022-04-01T01:35:57Z |
Rick Ross says he is serious about climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.
The rapper has been open about many goals he has set for himself. From owing dozens of cars and only learning to drive at 45 years old, the Rozay rapper is not one to cop out.
Rick Ross recently disclosed on the Full Send Podcast that he has set some ambitious goals for himself this year, including climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa.
“I really believe when I put my heart to something, I can do anything,” he began. “As a matter of fact, I was smoking, I was on my back patio last night, I’m sitting underneath the trees, I’m listening to the waterfall, I’m looking at the plants, the landscaping, the patio furniture, you know? And I gave myself a challenge and I’m actually issuing you guys a challenge here,” he says.
“This is the first time I’ve said this, but in 2024, I’ma hike to the top of Kilimanjaro. Just making it to the top, and you going with me.”
Mount Kilimanjaro is a dormant volcano in Tanzania famous for its three volcanic cones, namely Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira. The mountain forms the highest peek on the African continent making it no easy fete to climb.
Mount Kilimanjaro is known as one of the most difficult mountains to climb but not because of how steep the trails are but because the hardest part is getting to the summit, which at night is extremely difficult as this is the coldest, windiest section of the adventure with an ascent of 4,084ft with 49% less oxygen and descent of nearly 6,870ft. Still, about 30,000 people attempt to climb the mountain annually, and there are about 10 fatalities per year.
However, Rick Ross isn’t deterred as he says he’s determined to complete the climb.
“I’m the boss, I don’t look into nothing,” he said. “I make my mind up, it’s not really that big. I just gotta get it done. And what you gotta realize, if you notice I said 2024. So for the rest of this year, I’m getting prepared mentally, next year I get prepared physically.”
When asked about the length of days to complete the journey, he says, “Who knows? I’m guessing five/10 days, some shit like that. Give me 12 days, no rush. That’s what we doing. I’m not sure [about the elevation], I would wanna guess maybe 5000 [metres] or some type of shit.”
And he’s already preparing in terms of food and company as he says he’s not going on his own because someone needs to carry his Wingstop fries and chips. | https://trinidadtribune.com/rick-ross-reveals-his-next-big-project-is-climbing-mount-kilimanjaro/ | 2022-04-01T01:35:57Z |
Ladies who are single inside their 30s deal with a different state one to no one extremely considers. Jana Hocking claims it results in an undesirable condition.
Tips put a phony Tinder image
Once freaking out during lockdown regarding the lifestyle on my own, I decided to move around in that have a friend. I am a personal butterfly naturally, therefore the idea of facing the next lockdown and no that however, me personally, myself and i also for too much time sent nothing shudders down my back.
You will find simply a great deal wine and you will Gender and the Urban area periods a woman is also eat ahead of she goes mildly bonkers.
Thus i packed up my anything, and you may choofed nearby back at my loved ones family for what We anticipated to feel a lovely nothing domestic lives the same as that of Monica and you may Rachel’s towards Loved ones.
Ends up you to step 1. I need to prevent managing (epic) ’90s Shows eg truth, and dos. Housemates should be strictly leftover toward 20s.
Given that two profession centered single women, i invested more time working much less go out watching drink evening within PJs. Oh, and two unmarried females life style along with her isn’t the finest situation. Should you of you be #privileged into the providers out-of a male, you gotta think a 3rd selection of ears regarding household.
‘Score good grip’: Abbie seems to lose they more backlash
Like my friends, however, certainly do not want them to hear myself on puts of passions. Especially when it’s with some one you assured friends and family you’re “for example, Thus carried out with!”
Therefore in this 90 days the time had come, again, so you can package my personal handbags and return to help you an attractive family existence that requires just one lady and her dog.
If you find yourself lovers examine gorgeous you to-bedroom renting, smugly knowing that they shall be going halves regarding the book, we poor singletons was learning realestate interested in anything that isn’t amazingly from the budget getting a solamente spend packet.
There is certainly the price of seats, Uber eats beginning charges that simply St Louis MO sugar baby cannot feel broke up having a critical other, entry to the new online streaming functions which you purchase entirely alone, to acquire new food that’ll not wade stale until the prevent off new month.
Plus don’t even score myself started on the cost off relationships. Whenever we need certainly to spend time that have someone, it is not a great cosy night in the with a pizza pie, a movie and you will PJs. No, we have however surely got to discharge ourselves into first date that is first.
Which involves the cost of a keen Uber toward date, halves regarding the drink, perhaps eating, new uber home. You decide to go on a number of times per week about hopes off meeting someone special and you’re currently down in excess of a great hundred or so cash. Each week.
Then there is travelling. Come desired so you can an appeal wedding? Or at least you’ve been anticipate in order to an effective friend’s birthday highway. Besides the plane citation and therefore all of us have to help you spend having, there is then the accommodation that you are unable to split up having a beneficial companion, the latest journey to the wedding, together with wedding current. Every that is halved when you look at the two.
It is really not merely costs you’ll have to wrangle having because the a singleton. There is just what is apparently a reasonable bias towards singletons. Research conducted recently found that local rental agencies will discover a wedded partners more than a single person to rent to.
In the test conducted from the School off Virginia, rental agents see meanings from numerous people to have a rental property and picked you to definitely. The latest applicant pond integrated a wedded couple as well as other brand of singles.
Whilst the candidates was similar in terms of money and careers, players continuously find the hitched couples across the single people and you may clearly stated that brand new applicants’ marital standing swayed their choice.
Having family unit members that happen to be performing gloriously better inside their disciplines, a date night today sometimes incorporate eating at the good nice bistro, a cocktail (otherwise about three) and perhaps a tiny money reserve towards the cheeky Uber takes acquisition post-hangover the following day.
That too many weekends out-of installing reduced can definitely give you good yucky amount regarding loneliness. If there is anything I have learnt towards solitary existence it’s that your social every day life is incredibly important. Relationships keep the ol’ psychological state under control.
Thus aren’t getting me personally wrong, the brand new solitary every day life is a huge ol’ point. Packed with liberty and you may non-view bliss should you get up for the 3am snack. Extremely, at this current phase out-of living I wouldn’t have it various other means.

TN House passes bill to withhold funding from schools if athletes compete outside birth gender
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - Tennessee lawmakers passed a bill Thursday to withhold money from school districts that fail to determine a student’s gender based on their birth certificate.
HB 1895 passed with a 66-22 vote. The bill would lead to a loss of funding for any Tennessee school district that allows students to compete in sports without determining their gender based on the student’s birth certificate.
“We passed a bill last year that required boys to play boys and girls to play girls K-12, and this bill is putting teeth into it,” said the bill’s sponsor, Rep. John Rogan (R) of Oak Ridge.
The bill is a follow-up to a law that went into effect last year that required districts, called Local Education Associations or LEAs to determine a student’s birth gender.
However, this bill adds financial consequences to school district’s that don’t oblige.
Shahin Samiei, with the Tennessee Equality Project says the bill is detrimental to Tennessee transgender youth.
”Tennessee Equality Project vehemently opposes this bill. We cannot see really a worse combination of two pieces of public policy coming together, which is to say discrimination and cutting funding from school districts,” Samiei said.
The vote happened with no discussion on the House floor, and it comes on the same day as International Transgender Day of Visibility.
”It’s shameful, it’s problematic. Our state needs to be finding ways to lift up the transgender community as with all Tennesseans, not trying to tear them down,” Samiei added.
The bill does not specify exactly how much money would be withheld by the state.
The bill now goes to the Senate for consideration.
If passed, it would have to be signed by Governor Lee to go into law.

Chris Rock was greeted with applause at his first show after Will Smith slapped him at the Oscars, admitting that he was “still going through” what happened.
As the Boston crowd cheered him on, he told the crowd he was getting “foggy and crappy,” before joking, “How was your weekend?”
He continued: “I had a whole show before this weekend. I’m still processing.”
The 57-year-old Rock then told the audience that he would eventually talk about what happened, but “now I’m going to tell some jokes.”
Tickets to the comedian’s show on Wednesday evening were sold out, and they were supposedly supposed to take the phones from the audience, but people wrote his comments live when the show opened.
One fan at a public event shouted for Rock to sue Smith, who slapped him Sunday night for making a “G.I. Jane” joke about his wife Jada Pinkett-Smith. However, Rock “doesn’t even think” of suing the “King Richard” star.
A few hours before his speech, the Academy announced that they had asked the 53-year-old Smith to leave after the incident, but the Oscar winner refused.
Moments after Smith refused to leave, he won the Oscar for Best Actor for playing the father of Serena and Venus Williams. In his tearful speech, he said that he “hopes that the Academy will invite me back.”
But the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has yet to determine what the consequences of Smith’s actions will be. They condemned his behavior at the beginning of the week and began an official check.
Smith also apologized on social media this week, saying he “reacted emotionally” because Jada suffers from alopecia, which Rock was reportedly unaware of.
“I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong. I am confused, and my actions did not indicate who I want to be. There is no place for violence in the world of love and kindness.” | https://www.somagnews.com/chris-rock-is-still-processing-will-smiths-slap-at-the-oscars-2022/ | 2022-04-01T01:35:58Z |

Russell Knox recorded four straight birdies on the back nine and fired a seven-under 65 to take a one-shot lead after the opening round of the Valero Texas Open.
Knox closed out his round with a seven-foot putt to save par at the par-5 18th at TPC San Antonio, and was one shot ahead of Rasmus Hojgaard on Thursday.
Hojgaard fired a 66 despite a double bogey on his final hole. Matt Kuchar is another stroke back after an opening five-under 67 and is among a group that includes Denny McCarthy, Aaron Rei and J.J. Spaun.

Defending champ Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy finished at even-par 72. They were outside the top 60 after one round and could flirt with the cut line on Friday.
Bryson DeChambeau had a one-over 73. After holing a bunker shot for eagle on his 11th hole and following with a birdie on the next, he made bogey on four of his last six holes.
Knox, a 32-year-old Scotsman with two career PGA Tour wins, started his birdie streak at No.12.
All of his birdie putts were inside 10 feet. At the 15th, he was about 20 feet away from a back pin position following his approach and chipped in from the fringe. It was his second chip-in in the round.
"That was one of those kind of bonus birdies that you need when you're going to have a good day," Knox said. "Obviously thrilled with the round. It's been more of the way I want to play."
Hogjaard, a 21-year-old from Denmark and two-time winner on the European Tour, had his sights on the first-round lead heading to his closing hole. But, his drive sailed well left of the fairway. It took him four shots to reach the green on the par-4 ninth.
"I had to chip sideways back into the fairway," he said. "Just was a little too aggressive after that. Yeah, short-sided myself and I didn't get up and down and suddenly you walk away with double-bogey. Yeah, that was a bit annoying, but it happens."
Kuchar was five under after 11 holes. Thirty feet away from the pin on the next hole, he failed to get up and down and missed a seven-foot putt for par. He got a shot back with a birdie on his 14th hole, and parred out, falling short in a bid to match his season-best round of 64 at the Sony Open, where he finished in the top 10.
Matt Jones leads Australia's assault. His four-under 68, which included six birdies and a double-bogey on the par-three seventh, left him three behind Knox in a tie for seventh.
Compatriot Aaron Baddeley is one shot behind Jones, but Jason Day and Min Woo Lee both struggled with two-over rounds and face a battle to make the cut.

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

Groestlcoin Coin Profile
According to CryptoCompare, “About the algorithm: – Is an iterated hash function, where the compression function is built from two fixed, large, different permutations. The design of Grøstl is transparent and based on principles very different from those used in the SHA-family.The two permutations used are constructed using the wide trail design strategy, which makes it possible to give strong statements about the resistance of Grøstl against large classes of cryptanalytic attacks. Moreover, if these permutations are assumed to be ideal, there is a proof for the security of the hash function. – Can and is accelerated by the hardware AES support present in most modern Intel CPUs, which helps reduce the efficiency gap between a CPU and other implementations. Groestl (old GPU/CPU) – Groestl makes wide range of trade-offs between throughput, latency, and power consumption. Because of this, groestl uses less power per hash than other algos. Due to the less complex hashing, groestl performs well on older GPU’s as well as CPU’s. – Is the single most efficient algorithm for GPUs in the cryptocurrency market. It has been shown to have the lowest power consumption, heat and noise of recently released algorithms, allowing for a quieter and more effective mining environment. – Is set to be the future of mining, Groestlcoin is proud to be the first to utilize this new efficient algorithm. – Is a recently proposed cryptographic hash algorithm that has common structure and features with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). The objective of this paper is to present the design of a high speed joint implementation of Grøstl and AES with minimal resources using a pipelining method. The advantage of this implementation is that it efficiently provides both cryptographic hash function and block cipher. The system is targeted to the Altera Cyclone IV FPGA. The paper presents a complete description of the design and implementation, as well as an analysis of the resulting synthesis and comparison to other proposed implementations of the Grøstl hash function. – Is a byte-oriented SP-network which borrows components from the AES. The S-box (substitution-box) used is identical to the one used in the block cipher AES and the diffusion layers are constructed in a similar manner to those of the AES. As a consequence there is a very strong confusion and diffusion in Grøstl. – Is a so-called wide-pipe construction where the size of the internal state is significantly larger than the size of the output. This has the effect that all known, generic attacks on the hash function are made much more difficult. – Has good performance on a wide range of different platforms and counter-measures against side-channel attacks are well-understood from similar work on the AES. About the AES acceleration: The compression function f is based on a pair of 256- or 512-bit permutation functions P and Q, and is defined as: f(h, m) = P(h ? m) ? Q(m) ? h The permutation functions P and Q are heavily based on the Rijndael (AES) block cipher, but operate on 8×8 or 8×16 arrays of bytes, rather than 4×4. Like AES, each round consists of four operations: 1.AddRoundKey (the Grøstl round keys are fixed, but differ between P and Q) 2.SubBytes (this uses the Rijndael S-box, allowing sharing with AES implementations) 3.ShiftBytes (expanded compared to AES, this also differs between P and Q, and 512- and 1024-bit versions) 4.MixColumns (using an 8×8 matrix rather than Rijndael's 4×4) Grøstl divides the input into blocks and iteratively computes hi = f(hi-1, mi). However, Grøstl maintains a hash state at least twice the size of the final output (512 or 1024 bits), which is only truncated at the end of hash computation. “

The No. 5 East Central Community College Warriors took down the Itawamba Indians in a MACCC matchup with a seven-inning, run-rule win before dropping the second game of a doubleheader, 3-2, on Saturday afternoon. The split moved the Warriors to 18-7 overall and to 5-5 in conference play, while the Indians moved to 11-11, 5-5.
J.T. Vance and Leighton Jenkins led the Warriors at the plate on the day with three hits each, while Cook had four RBIs through the two games.
ECCC's Trey Lewis had his 19-game hitting streak snapped in the opener, but the sophomore reached base in both games on walks to grow his reached-base streak to 21 games. Clayton Cook pushed his hitting streak to 16 games after getting a hit in the opener but had the streak broken in the nightcap. Austin Green reached base in both games as well to move to 12 straight games reaching base safely, while Vance is up to eight games in a row. | https://www.newtoncountyappeal.com/no-5-warriors-and-icc-indians-trade-wins | 2022-04-01T01:36:01Z |
LOUISVILLE, Colo. — No matter a golfer's skill, the first five holes at Coal Creek Golf Course in Louisville may be the hardest to play.
“From a mental standpoint, yes," head golf professional David Baril said. “The first time you see the devastation like this, yeah, it’s hard to accept.”
Baril stood beside the first tee just feet away from the remnants of the Coal Creek Ranch neighborhood. Dozens of homes in the neighborhood were destroyed in the Marshall Fire on Dec. 30.
“It’s hard to fathom because we’re just not used to seeing that," Baril said.
After the fire and snow, Coal Creek Golf Course temporarily closed to the public. Baril said crews removed 159 trees that were damaged by the flames.
“We’re used to playing 12 months out of the year, so having two months of actually no golf created some pent-up demand," Baril said.
The back nine reopened first, but the first five holes stayed closed until this past Saturday.
“There were a lot of excited golfers just to get 18 holes open," Baril said.
For the first time since the fire, golfers have been able to finish a full round. Most are playing the first five holes, but some are not.
“I’ve had a couple people, couple golfers, who asked if they could play the back nine because they’re just not ready to look at it," Baril said.
On Thursday morning, Zach Salinas tried to focus on his game as he walked down fairways that used to be lined with trees and homes.
“It’s easy to forget when you’re looking this way and life seems pretty normal," Salinas said, glancing back at the Coal Creek Ranch neighborhood. "Yeah, I don't like looking at it."
Salinas is a regular at the course. He was there on a windy day last December when he noticed the smell of smoke.
"By the time we were at the 10th green, it was raining ash," Salinas said. "You could barely breathe, so sort of high-tailed it out of here.”
Salinas escaped the course the day of the Marshall Fire and was one of the first to return when it reopened.
"It’s obviously different, but it’s also sort of the same," Salinas said. "Like, you’re still just out here playing golf.”
Salinas said it was jarring to see the destruction and tragic to know more than 1,000 homes were lost in the Marshall Fire. He was also grateful the golf course was spared.
“I think it’s good to have a golf course where people can keep going with normal stuff that they may enjoy," he said. "Hopefully, people can find joy in little things like that.”
The backdrop of the course is hard to look at, but the noise of debris removal in the neighborhood is a welcome sound, even to golfers trying to focus on the game.
“The distractions ought to be their own golf game," Baril said with a smile. "Nothing else.”

DELANO, Calif. (AP) — The death of an inmate at a central California prison is being investigated as a homicide, officials said Thursday.
Juan E. Mendoza, 26, was found unresponsive in his cell at Kern Valley State Prison shortly before 5 p.m. on Wednesday, according to a statement from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
He had visible injuries and died a short time later despite life-saving efforts.
Mendoza shared his cell with another man, Jorge L. Mendoza, who was removed from the cell and placed in segregation while the death is investigated, authorities said.
Juan E. Mendoza went to prison in 2020 after receiving a six-year sentence in San Bernardino County for second-degree attempted murder and personal use of a dangerous weapon, officials said.
Jorge L. Mendoza was admitted from Monterey County in 2018 and was serving a sentence of life with the chance of parole for second-degree murder with the use of a firearm by a second-striker.
Kern Valley State Prison is located in Delano, northwest of Bakersfield. It has more than 3,200 inmates. | https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/California-prison-inmate-death-investigated-as-a-17049814.php | 2022-04-01T01:36:03Z |

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The owner of a downtown Los Angeles building where an explosion injured 12 firefighters has been allowed to enter a judicial diversion program that allows him to avoid jail time and potentially have all charges dismissed.
A court commissioner on Wednesday granted the diversion request for Steve Sungho Lee. He and his companies must pay more than $15,000 in investigative fees, make sure the property meets fire and building codes and arranging for Fire Department training.
Lee owned a commercial building on East Boyd Street in the city's Toy District that caught fire on May 16, 2020. Firefighters had to run for their lives when a ball of flames shot out the building and scorched a fire truck across the street.
Firefighters inside the building had to run through a wall of flames he estimated as 30 feet (9 meters) high and wide, and those on the roof scrambled down a ladder that was engulfed in fire.
Fire officials said the building was a warehouse for Smoke Tokes, a wholesale distributor of supplies for smoking and vaping products including butane hash oil, a concentrated cannabis extract that can be eaten, smoked or vaped. Highly flammable butane is used in the manufacturing process.
Most of the injured firefighters still haven't returned to work and one, Capt. Victor Aguirre, was hospitalized for more than two months and all of his fingers had to be partially amputated, according to a lawsuit he filed against the building and business owners.
Aguirre alleged that the area contained “hundreds of illegally and improperly stored butane canisters and thousands of illegally and improperly stored nitrous oxide cylinders.”
A fire department report concluded that the blaze, which spread to a nearby building, was fueled by an “excessive quantity” of the containers.
Investigators from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives concluded that the fire started under a storage rack in the building and that a worker with a lit cigarette was seen in the area. The cause of the fire was ruled accidental.
However, city prosecutors filed more than 300 misdemeanor charges of violating fire and safety codes against Lee, his companies and owners of businesses in the building and nearby properties. That included more than 160 counts against Lee and his companies.
If Lee meets all conditions of his judicial diversion program for two years, the charges will be dismissed.
“Mr. Lee will be deemed by law to have never been charged," said his attorney, Blair Berk. “The exhaustive federal investigation of the tragic fire objectively concluded that the cause was accidental, and there was no finding of any wrongdoing by Mr. Lee or his companies.”
City Attorney Mike Feuer opposed diversion for Lee, noting the severity of the fire, the injuries suffered by the firefighters and Lee's alleged failure “to take steps which could have mitigated the extent of the blaze."
The owners of Smoke Tokes and another business, Green Buddha, agreed in November 2020 to pay $139,000 each to cover investigative costs and to move out of the building. Charges against them were later dismissed.
___
This story has been updated to correct that Lee and his companies must pay more than $15,000, not $125,000.
7 Trucking Stocks That Are About to Go On a RollAmericans are facing a historic supply chain crisis. The solutions are simple on the one hand and
maddeningly complex on the other. And no industry embodies that complexity more than the trucking
industry. Just getting the barges unloaded will not be enough. Those goods have to be transported to a
final destination.
For that, we’re going to need trucks. And those trucks will need drivers. According to the American
Trucking Association (ATA), approximately 70% of consumer goods in the United States are transported
by trucks. However, for a variety of reasons, the industry faces a shortage of qualified drivers.
How extreme is that shortage? The ATA estimates that the shortage of qualified truck drivers sits at over
50,000 and continues to grow. In fact, it suggests that over 900,000 drivers are needed and there simply
are not enough qualified drivers to meet that demand.
We’re not going to see one million new drivers on the road by the end of the year. And even if we did,
trucking companies will be a beneficiary as the industry rises to meet this moment. This also means that
investors should be eyeing trucking stocks. And that’s why we’ve prepared this special presentation
which identifies seven trucking stocks that are excellent opportunities at this time.

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.

A student leaves happy with balloons after writing the SEA exams at Grant Memorial Presbyterian School in San Fernando on Thursday. Photo by Marvin Hamilton
Holding roses and balloons, anxious parents stood outside Grant Memorial Presbyterian School on Thursday afternoon as they waited to greet their children who had sat this year’s Secondary Entrance Assessment (SEA) examination.
As she walked out of the school, Amariah Seecheran was hugged by her mother Trisha Seecheran, who gave her a colourful “Congratulations” balloon and bouquet.
A relieved Amariah told Newsday, “I am feeling happy that the exam is over and I am looking forward to going away with my mom.
“We’ll be going to America and I am just happy to spend time with my mom and be over with this SEA thing.”

Hoping to pass for Naparima Girls’ High School in San Fernando, Amariah said she gave her best effort in the exam.
Relieved “after all the schoolwork, past papers and long nights studying,” Matthaus Mathura told Newsday he now looks forward to reading books and playing video games. He hopes to pass for Naparima College.
Landon Phillip Charles also wants to pass for Naparima College. But as he waits for his results, he’s happy to put down his schoolbooks for a bit and cool down with some much-needed family time.
For his mother, Beverly Mahabir-Charles, this year’s exam was extra special.

She explained, “This is my second child writing SEA, and the last, so it’s a sense of relief and I am looking forward to spending time with him relaxing and enjoying the months ahead.”
Even though his cancer-stricken daughter Sidara Akalloo was unable to sit the exam, David Akalloo livestreamed students leaving the school for her to watch from her bed at the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex in Mt Hope.
Sidara, 11, lost the use of her legs after being diagnosed a year ago with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. She had hoped to walk into the exam room on Thursday, but is in hospital with pancreatitis, liver dysfunction and jaundice.

Akalloo told Newsday, “The only way she could have really felt part of the exam today was for me and my son to come and help her see the students exit.
“This will at least help her feel as if this is how it would’ve been at the end of the exam.
He explained he’s doing the paperwork with the Ministry of Education so she can do the supplemental SEA exams on April 20.
When Newsday visited C3 Centre in Corinth, San Fernando, scores of parents and students were celebrating the end of the exam.
Adeloa Ogunsheye-Greenidge took her daughter Naila Alexander and her best friend, Khalia Davis, to Chuck E Cheese for a surprise “brain cooler.”

A relieved Ogunsheye-Greenidge said she felt as though she herself was doing online school at one point, given how involved she had to be in her daughter’s schooling over the past two years of the pandemic.
“We had to be monitoring and ensuring that they had to do their work. I feel a sense of relief, and I know that the past few years was challenging. But I believe that the girls would do exceedingly well.”
A student of St Gabriel’s Girls’ RC, Khalia said she felt good the exam was over and now looks forward to relaxing.
Naila, a student at San Fernando Girls’ Anglican School, added, “I felt like it was heaven walking out the school’s gate and I feel relieved. I look forward to freedom, like sleeping 10 o’clock in the morning, over the next few months. ”
As he played on one of the games, Pavan Ramharack said he felt a little nervous after the exam, but gave it his best effort. He looks forward to relaxing and spending more time with his cousins. He wants to pass for Presentation College, San Fernando. | https://trinidadtribune.com/south-trinidad-students-relieved-after-sea-exams/ | 2022-04-01T01:36:04Z |
An intriguing article appeared online after comedian Chris Rock received a slap in the face from actor Will Smith during the 94th Academy Awards ceremony.
After actor Will Smith punched comedian Chris Rock during the 2022 Oscars ceremony, a teaser article by The New York Post claimed that Rock had recently made a “heartbreaking recent post.”
Teasing led to an article published on PageSix.com, a website associated with the Post. It said that Rock had previously discussed on a podcast that he had been bullied as a child, and he later sought help from a therapist. However, despite these revelations, the truth was that there was no “heartbreaking recent post”. The article didn’t mention anything about any Rock posts on social media or anywhere else. The teaser turned out to be a misleading clickbait.
On March 30, 2022, a misleading article appeared on the website of The New York Post, which stated: “Chris Rock’s recent heartbreaking post now has a new meaning.” The teaser in question was shown a few days after actor Will Smith punched comedian Chris Rock in the face at the Oscar ceremony.
Did this mean that Rock had previously made a social media post about Oscar or Smith? Perhaps this meant that he addressed the incident at the Academy Awards ceremony? Is he active on Instagram and Twitter? Here are some questions that might have occurred to anyone who saw the intriguing teaser.
Despite the promise in this teaser, which somewhat resembled an advertisement, the resulting article did not say anything about the fact that Rock made a “heartbreaking” post either on social networks or anywhere else. This turned out to be a misleading clickbait.
By clicking on the teaser, you went to ZergNet.com . To read the resulting story, we clicked again on the words “Chris Rock’s recent heartbreaking post now has a new meaning.” Then we got to the article on PageSix.com, a website linked to The Post. | https://www.somagnews.com/chris-rock-made-a-heartbreaking-post/ | 2022-04-01T01:36:04Z |

The Algeria Football Federation has called for a replay of their World Cup play-off clash against Cameroon and lodged a complaint to FIFA over the refereeing, claiming the officiating "distorted the result".
Karl Toko Ekambi delivered the decisive strike in the 124th minute in Blida to condemn Algeria to a 2-1 aggregate loss on away goals, with Cameroon qualifying for Qatar 2022.
Islam Slimani saw two goals ruled out, the first in the second half and again in extra time, with referee Bakary Gassama initially allowing the latter finish to stand before using the pitch-side monitor to deem the Algeria striker had handled the ball.

Charaf-Eddine Amara has resigned as president of FAF following Algeria's exit from World Cup qualifying, while the federation has lodged an appeal to world governing body FIFA.
"The Algerian Football Federation (FAF) has lodged an appeal with the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) against the scandalous arbitration which distorted the result of the Algeria-Cameroon play-off," the statement read.
"The FAF is determined to use all legally permitted means to have its rights restored and to replay the match under conditions guaranteeing the honesty and partiality of the arbitration.
"The FAF also requests the opening of an investigation by FIFA bodies to shed light on the arbitration of the Algeria-Cameroon match."
The draw for the group stage of the World Cup is set to take place on Friday.

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

MIRIHANA, Sri Lanka (AP) — Police fired tear gas and a water cannon at thousands of protesters outside the home of Sri Lanka's president Thursday, demanding he resign over the nation's worst economic crisis.
Police later enforced a curfew in suburbs of the capital because the protests wouldn't subside. The protesters blamed President Gotabaya Rajapaksa for long power outages and shortages of essentials and shouted, “Go home, Gota go home.”
The crowds demonstrating along the roads leading to his private residence at Mirihana, on the outskirts of Colombo, stoned two army buses that police were using to block the protesters from entering the road leading to Rajapaksa’s residence. They set fire to one of buses and turned back a fire truck that rushed to douse it.
At least one person was severely injured in the leg when police fired tear gas cannisters directly at protesters to stop their attack on the bus.
Armed soldiers with assault rifles were stationed near the protest. Angry protesters also gathered around the Mirihana police station accusing the police of trying to protect the corrupt. Police there deployed tear gas.
Sri Lanka has huge debt obligations and dwindling foreign reserves, and its struggle to pay for imports has caused the shortages. People wait in long lines for fuel, and power is cut for several hours daily because there's not enough fuel to operate generating plants and dry weather that has sapped hydropower capacity.
Lamenting the power cuts that are up to 13 hours a day, protester Dulaj Madhushan, 30, asked: “How can people earn a living?”
“This is not a political one, but a protest led by people. They took people for granted. Now you can see peoples' power,” he said.
The protesters appeared voluntary and without a leader. Residents of a middle-class neighborhood including many women who would normally not participate in street protests were seen telling police that they were fighting for them, too.
Protester Asanka Dharmasinghe, 37, said he has been running a carpentry shed, employing four people and paying them each about $12 a day, but he is unable to cover the costs because he only has two hours of electricity to work.
“My daughter is sitting for exams, but there is no paper,” he said.
The curfew imposed in parts of Colombo and suburbs after the protests ended will last until further notice, police spokesman Nihal Thalduwa said.
He asked people in the areas where the curfew was imposed to remain at home, warning that violations will be dealt with strictly according to the law. He also said motorists will not be allowed to travel through those areas.
Sri Lanka’s economic woes are blamed on successive governments not diversifying exports and relying on traditional cash sources like tea, garments and tourism, and on a culture of consuming imported goods.
The COVID-19 pandemic dealt a heavy blow to Sri Lanka’s economy, with the government estimating a loss of $14 billion in the last two years.
Sri Lanka also has immense foreign debt after borrowing heavily on projects that don’t earn money. Its foreign debt repayment obligations are around $7 billion for this year alone.
According to the Central Bank, inflation rose to 17.5% in February from 16.8% a month earlier. Its expected to continue rising because the government has allowed the local currency to float freely.
Separately on Thursday, the country's Catholic bishops called for unity among politicians, warning that the island is fast becoming a failed state.
All governments to date are responsible in varying degree for the crisis, the Catholic Bishops' Conference in Sri Lanka said in a statement, adding that the government and the opposition must adopt a conciliatory approach without blaming each other.
The bishops called on Catholic institutions and individuals to provide assistance to the most affected groups.
7 Mid-Cap Stocks to Buy For When the Fed Gets SeriousHow should you be investing in 2022? It's a near certainty that the Fed will continue to pursue a more hawkish monetary policy for the rest of 2022. And right now the market is expecting interest rate increases to start in March 2022.
The thought that the Fed will take aggressive measures to combat inflation is still weighing on growth-minded investors? After all, stocks still look like the place to be.
If you're an investor looking to maximize your growth this year, you should first make sure you have a base of blue-chip stocks. These stocks can deliver solid returns no matter how the broader market goes. However, after that, you should still have your eyes on growth. And mid-cap stocks may be just the place to look.
Mid-cap stocks are defined by companies with a market capitalization between $2 billion and $10 billion. These companies are still in the growth phase so they're putting their profits to work in growing their business.
The recent market sell-off has put many of these stocks at attractive points. And while many of them still don't qualify as oversold by technical measures, they are offering significant upside at their current price points.
At some point the Fed is likely to get serious about whipping inflation. When it does, investors will become even more selective than they already are. By investing in these mid-cap stocks, you can stay one step ahead of whatever comes next.

Tobago

Tobago’s standard five students on Thursday expressed relief after writing this year’s Secondary Entrance Assessment (SEA) exam.
Some said the challenges they encountered doing their schoolwork virtually over the past year were much more difficult than the actual examination.
Outside of the Scarborough Methodist School, the anxiety was evident as restless parents – mostly mothers – waited in blistering heat for the exam to be over.
At around 1.30pm, the main gate of the school opened and the students rushed into their parents’ arms.
A relieved Taariq Harripersad believes he did well and is hoping to pass for his first choice, Bishop’s High School.
Why Bishop’s?
“I believe it is a very good school and I have the ability to go there,” he said.
Equally relieved was Taariq’s mother, Taaliba Muhammad.

“The examination is concluded, so he will free up his mind a bit, because the journey wasn’t easy for the both of us (alluding to the online challenges). But we fought all of the odds that transpired, because our main focus was to get the job done.”
Amaiyah Beckles said she did not have many challenges with the online curriculum, but was relieved nonetheless.
She believes she did well in the English language and creative writing segments, but said the maths was difficult.
Like Taariq, she too, is hoping to pass for Bishop’s High School.
Asked what she would like to do for her vacation, Amaiyah jokingly declared, “Live.”
Amaiyah’s mother, Avianne Thomas, said she felt as if a weight had been lifted.
“I am very, very relieved,” she told Newsday.

Bethany Sykes also believes she performed well in the exam.
“It was actually a bit challenging but I did my best,” she said.
“The mathematics was especially challenging, especially section three. But English is always easy. I am pretty good at that.”
Bethany also wants to go to Bishop’s.
“All of my friends from my previous class are going there, so I want to join them.”
Bethany’s mother, Tamara Sebro, said she is very proud of her daughter’s class and their teacher.
“They all worked very, very hard and those kids deserve a break. It is not easy to go through covid, going through online schooling, and then transitioning to face-to-face school and writing the exam.
“I am proud of them, I know they worked hard. They would have tried their best and well done.”
A shy Dill Francis Jr said he felt he did well and is hoping to go to Scarborough Secondary School.
His father is grateful the exam is over.
“I really thank God that it’s over. I feel very elated for him. We kept him back for a little while, but I think he was well prepared,” he said.
At the nearby St Andrew’s Anglican, Maya Phillips said preparing for the SEA during the pandemic was very stressful.
“But I am glad it is finally over with.”

Maya was accompanied by her friends Sabriyah Stephens and Keyana Rodriguez.
Keyana’s mother Ayanna Rodriguez said the journey to the SEA was long and hard.
“It was a long road and very tiring. It took a lot of dedication and commitment and I am just happy to see that it’s over. The girls could get some rest now and, of course, chart the way forward for the next stage,” she said.
At the Montgomery Government School, community activist Downie Marcelle surprised the SEA students after the exam.
“We have just come here today to give them a little treat, to remind them that it is a job well done and just the beginning of what is to come. It is not the end but a new beginning,” he said in a video posted on Facebook.
Marcelle, who had attended the school, said the students need a lot of emotional support, given the challenges they faced with online learning during the pandemic.

“So it is about showing them the love.”
Marcelle was the PNM’s candidate for Bethel/New Grange in the December 6 THA elections.
In a statement on Thursday, the THA Division of Education, Research and Technology reported that 989 standard five students – 543 boys and 446 girls – were expected to sit the SEA at 41 examination centres.
The division said over the past few weeks, it had collaborated with the Division of Infrastructure to ensure all lighting and plumbing issues at schools were fixed.
“We have also ensured that cleaning supplies were accessible to all primary schools so that classrooms could be thoroughly cleaned and sanitised,” it added
The division said all schools were also equipped with thermometers, liquid soap and hand sanitisers in keeping with health protocols. Classrooms were also organised to facilitate physical distancing.
The division established an education health unit, headed by Dr Dane Joseph, to provide medical support where necessary.
The statement quoted Secretary of Education Zorisha Hackett as saying she was satisfied with the level of preparedness at the exam centres. | https://trinidadtribune.com/tobago-sea-students-relieved/ | 2022-04-01T01:36:10Z |

- Historically significant buildings with risk of river flooding: 3
--- California Building, Reno (relatively high risk)
--- Senator Francis G. Newlands House, Reno (relatively high risk)
--- Bowers Mansion, Reno (relatively high risk)
The California Building in Reno is the only remaining building associated with the Transcontinental Highways Exposition of 1927, which celebrated the completion of creating paved, well-marked highways from coast to coast. The building was a gift from the state of California to commemorate those who died in combat during World War I, as well as to promote California tourism to Nevadans and those who were passing through. In 1997, Reno experienced catastrophic flooding when the Truckee River—which flows directly through the city—overflowed. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2556699985558/people-kimbre-mee-joins-sierra-nevada-properties | 2022-04-01T01:36:11Z |

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

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.
Watch the latest Sport on Channel 7 or stream for free on 7plus >>
"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."

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

In the Dick Wolf universe, everything is fair! Having started as a screenwriter in “Hill Street Blues” in the 1980s, the producer became a superstar when he created “Law and Order” in 1990.
Since then, the TV giant has directed several Law and Order spin-offs, including the long-running series Law and Order: Special Victims, which premiered in 1999, and Law and Order: Criminal Intent. Wolf then moved viewers from New York to Chicago, creating Chicago Fire and its subsidiaries in 2012: Chicago PD, Chicago Med and Chicago Justice.
Just when fans thought that Wolf could no longer have ideas for a procedural drama up his sleeve, he created the FBI universe, which consists of the FBI, FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International.
Over the years, keen-eyed fans may have noticed that Wolf has several favorite actors who have appeared in his series over and over again, including Christopher Meloni. (This is not counting the full-fledged crossovers he makes in the One Chicago universe and in the FBI sphere.)
The Washington, D.C. native was an OG member in the cast of Law & Order: SVU, but left in 2011. In an unexpected turn of events, Meloni got his own TV series “Law and Order: Organized Crime” in 2021, in which he plays his role. The same SVU character, Detective Elliot Stabler.
“These two shows exist in the same universe, a fictional, very mundane universe. And we never forget that these other characters and these other stories exist,” Wolf told The Wrap in April 2021 after fans saw Meloni reunite with Mariska Hargitey, who plays Detective Olivia Benson in SVU. “And when we tell a story about a Stabler in Benson’s world, or Benson in Stabler’s world, and things happen that affect their characters, we don’t just forget about it.”
The executive producer continued: “Therefore, from the point of view of writing a story, it is both difficult and painful to make sure that these things remain alive, as long as the shows have their own personality, each of them.”
Meloni, for his part, told Entertainment Weekly in March 2021 that Wolf had made him an offer he couldn’t refuse, which led to him playing the role of detective again and periodically appearing alongside Hargitey in both shows.
“I was pleasantly surprised that everything turned out as well as it turned out. Because, you know, life doesn’t shake out like that, right?” he told the publication. “You can have all the dreams you want, all the preconceived ideas about how it will be. But I have to say that the past decade has been everything I could have hoped for.”
Meloni is not the first actor to play the same role in several of Wolf’s shows. Philip Winchester, for example, first appeared in the Chicago police. in the role of Peter Stone, before heading to “Law and Order: IED” in 2018.
Actors such as Jeremy Sisto and Alana De La Garza made an impression on the TV series “Law and Order” in the early 2000s, and more than a decade later joined the FBI. However, the two stars play completely different characters in crime series, and they are not alone in this category. | https://www.somagnews.com/dick-wolfs-tv-universe-a-guide-to-the-biggest-and-best-cross-links/ | 2022-04-01T01:36:17Z |

Bruce Willis was showing signs of cognitive decline for some years, including firing a gun loaded with a blank on the wrong cue while on set, a Los Angeles Times report has revealed.
On Wednesday, Willis’ family said he had been diagnosed with aphasia – a cognitive disorder that affects an individual’s ability to communicate – and that he would retire from acting.
Numerous sources from a range of productions Willis worked on in recent years have spoken to the LA Times about concerns they had about the actor’s capacity to work.
Mike Burns, the director of 2021’s Out of Death, reduced Willis’s role in the film after noticing he was struggling.
“It looks like we need to knock down Bruce’s page count by about 5 pages,” read an email Burns sent in June 2020 to the film’s screenwriter.
“We also need to abbreviate his dialogue a bit so that there are no monologues, etc.”
Other sources said the star was unable to remember his dialogue and had lines fed to him through an earpiece.
Burns is one of nearly two dozen people who spoke with the LA Times about their concern for his wellbeing.
While on set for 2020’s Hard Kill, Willis fired a gun loaded with a blank – twice in a row – on the wrong cue, although no one was injured, co-star Lala Kent has alleged.
Kent was supposed to duck once Willis had delivered a line, serving as the cue before the weapon was fired. But Willis fired before delivering the line.
“Because my back was to him, I wasn’t aware of what was happening behind me,” Kent said.
“But the first time, it was like, ‘No big deal, let’s reset’.”
The film’s producer disputed that claim but at least two people familiar with the incident have also spoken about it.
Willis’s management team limited his film shoots to two days a week, and no more than eight hours of work per day.
Production sources said he often only stayed for four.
At times, Willis would also question where he was, two crew members recalled.
“I know why you’re here, and I know why you’re here, but why am I here?” Willis is alleged to have said while on the set of White Elephant, a yet-to-be released film.
A crew member said Willis “was just being puppeted” and that the actor would be given a line but not understand what it meant.
The film’s director, Jesse V. Johnson, and his team decided after filming had ended that they would not do another film with Willis.
“We are all Bruce Willis fans, and the arrangement felt wrong and ultimately a rather sad end to an incredible career, one that none of us felt comfortable with,” he said.
It’s also been announced that Willis will no longer be receiving a Golden Raspberry Award as a result of his diagnosis.
The awards, known as the Razzies, is a satirical show that hands out accolades for the worst performances.
Willis had received an award in a special category, “Worst Performance by Bruce Willis in a 2021 Movie.”
Upon news of his diagnosis, the Razzies controversially decided to go ahead with presenting him the award.
But following backlash, the organisation issued a statement reversing their decision.
“After much thought and consideration, the Razzies have made the decision to rescind the Razzie Award given to Bruce Willis, due to his recently disclosed diagnosis,” the statement read.
“If someone’s medical condition is a factor in their decision-making and/or performance, we acknowledge that it is not appropriate to give them a Razzie.”
Despite his condition worsening in recent years, Willis was still highly sought after, with his involvement helping independent filmmakers sell their films on the international stage.
White Elephant production supervisor Terri Martin said he admired and respected Willis’s work but it was time for him to retire.
“He just looked so lost, and he would say, ‘I’ll do my best.’ He always tried his best.”

Aphelion Aerospace secures investment from The Mercury Group, Founder Advisors, and Richtr Financial Studio
DENVER, March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Aphelion Aerospace, based in Denver, Colorado is establishing itself as a one-stop-shop for low-cost small satellite integration and on-demand launch operations from practically anywhere around the world. Aphelion announced today that it has received significant investment from strategic investors including The Mercury Group, Founder Advisors, and Richtr Financial Studio. These investments are part of Aphelion's Seed round which the company is running in parallel with their equity crowdfunding campaign on StartEngine.
Aphelion CEO Miguel Ayala and CTO Matthew Travis indicate that these investments will help them continue pushing forward with the development of their suborbital launch vehicle technology demonstrator. They plan to conduct low-altitude suborbital demonstration launches by the end of the year to prove out their green non-toxic, non-cryogenic propulsion technology in flight.
Based on the caliber and background of their board advisors and investors, it is clear that the Aphelion team is positioning to become a strong player in the space industry. Last year, Aphelion announced that Edward Mango, former Program Manager of the NASA Commercial Crew Transportation Program had joined their board of advisors. Mr. Mango is one of the key NASA leaders behind the success of SpaceX. Aphelion also announced that Kevin Rice, former Director of Business Management at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Lockheed Martin Skunk Works had joined their board of advisors. Mr. Rice practically wrote the book on business management for NASA. In addition, Aphelion announced that Geoff Brim, former VP of Product Management at Deutsche Telekom had joined their board of advisors. Mr. Brim evangelized digital transformation, data science, artificial intelligence, and robotics at Deutsche Telekom.
Now come Aphelion's visionary investors. Ben West of The Mercury Group is a US Air Force veteran. Before his years in finance, Ben was an F117A and F16 Crew Chief. He is well aware that military fighter jets use hydrazine in their emergency power units. He knows very well that hydrazine is extremely toxic and thus costly and slow to deal with. He is also aware that other uses of hydrazine include spacecraft propulsion. Hearing that Aphelion had developed a propulsion technology that could essentially replace anything hydrazine powered was music to his ears. Ben feels excited to back Aphelion with investment and plans to continue supporting Aphelion along its journey to bring this new technology to market.
Steven Williams, of Founder Advisors advises Aphelion on market strategy. Along with Steven, the Founder Advisors team provides corporate and business strategy advisory to Aphelion. They are composed of accomplished aerospace and tech entrepreneurs and executives like Steven. Some have spent years in launch vehicle development at companies such as Lockheed Martin. These guys truly understand and value the business model that Aphelion is structuring for bundled small satellite integration and launch services.
James Graham, CEO of Richtr Financial Studio, is an ardent supporter of Aphelion's possibilities. Richtr Financial Studio supports Aphelion with financial and accounting services. They are a powerhouse for startups that are poised for exponential growth.

Costs top Americans' health care concerns, new poll finds
Americans' biggest health care priorities revolve largely around affordability, according to a new Kaiser Family Foundation poll, with most wanting to see Congress tackle drug prices. More broadly, inflation and rising costs dominate the public's concerns.
The findings, released Thursday, show that 55% of Americans call inflation and rising prices the biggest problem facing the U.S., far ahead of the Russian invasion of Ukraine (18%), climate change (6%), the COVID-19 pandemic (6%) or crime (6%).
That's true across party lines, although the sentiment is most pronounced within the GOP: About 70% of Republicans call inflation the country's biggest issue, compared with 53% of independents and 46% of Democrats.
Similarly, other recent polls have found the rising cost of living dominating Americans' minds. In a new Quinnipiac poll, 30% of Americans picked inflation as the most urgent issue facing the U.S., with the Russia/Ukraine crisis following at just 14%. NBC polling also found Americans more focused on economic concerns than foreign policy or other issues. And a new Gallup survey said 17% of Americans cited inflation as the nation's top problem, the highest level in its polling since 1985.
The focus on costs remains even when Americans are asked specifically about their priorities for possible health care legislation, the KFF poll finds. Most U.S. adults (61%) say it should be a priority for Congress to limit how much drug companies can raise prescription drug prices each year to no more than the rate of inflation. About half (53%) say Congress should make it a priority to cap out-of-pocket costs for insulin at $35 monthly and to place a limit on out-of-pocket health care costs for seniors (52%).
Fewer, 42%, call it a priority to expand government-provided health insurance in states that have not expanded Medicaid access or to increase funding for access to mental health services and training for mental health providers. Only 25% say that providing more COVID-19 pandemic response funding should be a priority.
"The public's priorities in health reflect deep concern about prices of everything right now, including drug prices," KFF President and CEO Drew Altman said in a news release. "That doesn't mean other things that have long been popular do not have public support too; they do. It just means prices are the preeminent concern."
In their personal finances, most Americans express at least some worry about being able to afford gasoline or other transportation costs (71%) and unexpected medical bills (58%), with many concerned about paying for monthly utility bills (50%) and food (47%). In February 2020, just 40% worried about paying for gas, 38% about monthly utilities and 34% about food, KFF found.
Concerns are magnified for lower-income Americans. Nearly 8 in 10 Americans in households making less than $40,000 a year say they worry about affording as or transportation costs, with more than 6 in 10 also concerned about affording unexpected medical bills (66%), monthly utilities (65%), rent or mortgage payments (63%) and food (62%).
About half of Americans, 51%, say they've put off or gone without some form of medical service in the past year because of its costs.
Twelve years after its passage, the Affordable Care Act remains popular, the KFF poll finds, with 55% of the public viewing it favorably. About one-quarter, 24%, say the law has directly helped them and their family, with 20% saying it hurt them and the rest that it's had no direct effect.
Of those who say they've seen a positive personal impact, about half say the ACA mainly helped by letting someone in their family get or keep health coverage, with 30% saying the ACA mainly made it easier to get needed health care and 20% that it mainly lowered health care or health insurance costs.
Views of both the ACA and its effects are also sharply divided along partisan lines, with 43% of Democrats and just 7% of Republicans saying the ACA has helped them.
Among Americans under 65 who have private health insurance, 56% say they know nothing about the No Surprises Act, a law taking effect this year that protects people with private health insurance from getting large medical bills when they accidentally receive out-of-network health care. Only about 21% say they know even something about the legislation. | https://www.kcra.com/article/americans-health-care-concerns/39593902 | 2022-04-01T01:36:18Z |

TOPEKA (KSNT) – Conservative speaker and author Michael Knowles spoke at Washburn University on Thursday night.
Knowles was introduced to the gathered crowd by Claudia Fury, Chairman of the Washburn College Republicans who set up the event.
“One reason this event is so important to me, as well as many other students sitting in the audience tonight, is because we believe in the freedom of speech and we will fight for the ability to voice our opinion on every college campus and we refuse to be silenced by the administration or fellow students who disagree with us,” Fury said.
Knowles began his speech by acknowledging the ‘Trans Visibility Day’ event which occurred just an hour prior to when Knowles was scheduled to take the stage in the Memorial Union. He also claimed that Washburn President Jerry Farley signed the contract to invite Knowles on campus only to later condemn him for “hate and misinformation.”
“Sort of a strange way for a university president to treat a guest that he personally invited,” Knowles said. “You sign a contract, you say ‘thank you’, he wants you to come this day and then a couple of weeks later you libel and defame that speaker before he says anything at all as some sort of menace to society.”
Farley’s letter can be seen here:
“A Washburn student organization has invited a speaker to campus who has a history of inciting fear and distrust. While I am strongly in the support of first amendment rights, I am disappointed when those rights are used to make others feel unwelcome and even unsafe in our community. While we support the right to speak freely, Washburn University does not condone the hate and misinformation spread by the speaker and his supporters.“
“Thursday also happens to be International Trans Visibility Day. Washburn University supports the Trans community and students who identify as LBGTQ+. We support and stand in solidarity with Trans people around the world and encourage you to learn more about the issues affecting students, faculty and staff who identify as LGBTQ+. We will continue to engage our resources to influence campus community to be an inclusive place where all feel they are protected, affirmed and valued.“
“I encourage you to celebrate the day with messages of compassion and support. With your help this university can be a shining light and example to the greater community. We will learn together and from each other and we will be better people for the effort.“
Knowles then began speaking about the “destructive ideology” of transgenderism.
“I hope we will learn, or relearn, basic facts about reality and human nature,” Knowles said. “If that is too much for President Farley, I hope at least we will learn that Conservatives will not be kowtowed into silence and submission to the ridiculous ideological fantasies of the radical left, that we most certainly will learn.”
Knowles cited examples of people who had later regretted transitioning between genders. But he went on to say that the primary issue with transitioning is not regret.
“The central problem is not regret but reality,” Knowles said. “Transgenderism is simply not true. It is a false account of human nature which holds that one’s true self has nothing to do with reality.”
The speech then moved to a judgement on academics as Knowles declared them to be the only ones to believe “heresies.” He also spoke to a recent statement given by Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson during her confirmation hearings where she was asked to define what a woman is.
“Senator Blackburn said, ‘What is a woman? Can you define what a woman is?’ and Ketanji… Judge Jackson, a federal judge, laughed,” Knowles said. “She said, ‘Of course I can’t, I’m not a biologist, I can’t tell you what a woman is.’ Ketanji Jackson has two degrees from Harvard, only someone with two degrees from Harvard could be so stupid as to not know what a woman is.”
He then spoke about women’s sports, which he declared that “nobody cares” about and said that it was the only way that people could criticize transgenderism in a socially acceptable way.
“The problem with transgenderism is not that it complicates college swim meets,” Knowles said. “The problem is that it is a false account of human nature that encourages delusion and psychosis and self-mutilation. That’s our issue folks, we just don’t want to say it.”
Knowles continued by encouraging members of the crowd to oppose transgenderism today by refusing to “tolerate it” in society. The speech then moved to a question and answer session. Members of the crowd were invited to ask a single question at a time.

HELENA — The U.S. Bureau of Land Management has given initial approval to a proposal to graze bison in north-central Montana. It’s the latest step in a process that started five years ago – and it’s likely not the end.
American Prairie – a nonprofit formerly called American Prairie Reserve – proposed bison grazing on 63,065 acres of BLM land in Phillips County, south of Malta. The BLM’s proposed decision, issued Wednesday, would allow bison, behind fences, on six of the seven areas the organization proposed.
“We are extremely pleased with this decision, which will enable us to exercise our grazing privileges to sustainably grow our conservation herd of bison, protect the health of the land, and create more outdoor opportunities for visitors to experience Montana’s prairie lands and wildlife,” said American Prairie vice president and chief external relations officer Pete Geddes in a statement.
The decision would allow bison to graze seasonally in three locations and year-round in three others – including two that are already approved for bison. The seventh location would remain open only to cattle.
American Prairie says they plan to increase their bison herd from around 800 animals to 1,000.
BLM leaders said in a statement that their decision was justified by an analysis that showed the plan wouldn’t have a significant environmental impact. They also identified some potential benefits for wildlife habitat and vegetation, including the removal of some internal fencing and the different grazing patterns of bison allowing for more diversity.
“Ultimately, the overall goals of any grazing decision are to ensure the health of BLM-administered public lands and implement the law,” said Theresa Hanley, the agency’s acting Montana/Dakotas state director. “This proposed grazing decision will help us continue to achieve those goals, providing for multiple-purpose use and enjoyment, now and in the future.”
American Prairie first submitted a plan for bison grazing in 2017. They scaled it back significantly in 2019, saying they wanted to address public concerns and have more time to demonstrate how their grazing system works.
The proposal has gotten a lot of attention from people in the area. Groups like the Montana Stockgrowers Association have raised concerns.
“When we saw the decision, we were fairly disappointed with the decision,” said executive vice president Jay Bodner.
Bodner questioned whether the BLM could lease land for grazing bison, saying that federal law specifically designates it for livestock and doesn’t include bison in that definition. He also said ranchers are worried about the impacts of having bison in close proximity to cattle, from possible interbreeding to injuries if the animals end up in the same pasture.
“They are a different species than cattle, they’re going to graze differently, and so they’re going to have impacts on the rangeland differently,” Bodner said. “If you have less control over them, I think certainly rangeland health standards – are you going to be able to meet those? – that calls into question.”
He said the Stockgrowers want to make sure the BLM did its due diligence in responding to the public’s concerns.
“When you look at these kinds of pretty significant proposals that the American Prairie Reserve did propose, we really think that needs a full environmental impact statement,” he said.
In the decision, the BLM said it did analyze and consider all the public comment. For example, they responded to the concerns about the federal definition of livestock by pointing to other rules that allow privately owned “indigenous animals” like bison to graze at regulators’ discretion. They said they have issued grazing permits for bison in other states, and previously for American Prairie.
“We understand that not everyone agrees with allowing bison grazing on public lands, but the BLM’s decision makes it clear that our proposal is based on sound science and will benefit wildlife, the rangeland, and riparian areas,” Geddes said.
A spokesperson for Gov. Greg Gianforte’s office said the state has started reviewing the BLM decision.
“The governor shares Montanans' hope that BLM took submitted comments to heart and bolstered its analysis to reach a legal, well-reasoned decision,” the spokesperson said.
A 15-day protest period is now open. The BLM will consider any protests they receive, then make a final decision. After that, there will be another 30 days during which the decision can be appealed.

The Academic Freedom Alliance released a public letter to Princeton University calling on the university to reaffirm the academic freedom of classics professor Joshua Katz. On July 8, 2020, Professor Joshua Katz published an opinion piece in an online journal reacting to the July 4th public letter signed by many members of the Princeton faculty. In that piece he criticized a student group that had operated on campus a few year earlier and hyperbolically characterized it as a "small local terrorist group." This piece generated a series of responses on campus, including the university's spokesman claim that Professor Katz would be investigated for potential disciplinary action as a result of his extramural speech. More recently, in a university-sponsored freshman orientation event Professor Katz was singled out for criticism by the Carl Fields Center for Equality and Cultural Understanding. On a website of the university and co-sponsored by myriad university administrative units including the Office of the Vice Provost of Institutional Equity and Diversity, Professor Katz is held out as an example of a professor making a racist statement and is shown being denounced by the university president, the Classics department, and the chairs of two academic units for engaging in racist speech. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2556700087688/ding-recognized-for-early-career-achievements | 2022-04-01T01:36:18Z |

RANDOLPH — The 2022 James Beard Awards, the Oscars for chefs, are set for June 13 in Chicago. It is unlikely any of the nominees, regardless of category, will have traveled a more improbable route to get there than Nisachon Morgan, the lead chef at Saap restaurant in Randolph.
Nisachon, who goes by Rung, wouldn’t have been nominated if it hadn’t been for match.com, her cousin Tam, and a therapist who told her future husband, Steve Morgan, he should seek peace in Eastern philosophy.
Rung is one of five finalists in the Best Chef in the Northeast (New England) and the only Vermont chef to make the finals.
Christian Kruse, the chef at Black Flannel Brewing Co. in Essex Junction, was a semi-finalist. She faces stiff competition, three chefs from foodie town Portland, Maine, and one from Boston.
The James Beard Awards recognize exceptional talent in the culinary arts, hospitality, media and broader food system, as well as a demonstrated commitment to racial and gender equity, community and sustainability. To qualify candidates must have at least 10 years restaurant experience and not have been nominated in the past 10 years.
The awards are named after legendary American chef James Andrews Beard, cookbook author, teacher and television personality, who died in 1985. The James Beard Foundation is a nonprofit organization with a mission to celebrate, support, and elevate the people behind America’s food culture and champion a high standard for food.
Neither Rung nor Steve has any idea how she was selected. Steve’s guess is sometime over the past year a representative from the James Beard organization visited the restaurant.
“It’s very secretive,” he said.
Rung was raised in a small rural village in northern Thailand, known as the Isaan region. Her family business was farming rice and raising livestock. She worked for years in the dining room and kitchen of a successful restaurant in Bangkok. She came to Vermont in 2010 to marry Steve, who was recently divorced. His therapist had told him he should seek serenity through Eastern philosophy. He was using match.com at the time.
Steve took his therapist’s advice including expanding his match.com search to Asia. He met Tam online. She told him she had a boyfriend and wasn’t interested, but possibly he might find her cousin and apartment mate, Rung, interesting.
He did, and she found him equally intriguing. After a Skype courtship, Steve traveled to Thailand, they fell in love and settled in Randolph, where Steve was the head chef at Gifford Hospital.
In April 2014, the Morgans opened Saap, an 80-seat restaurant in the historic Queen Anne style Victorian Kimball House in Randolph, the home of the White River Craft Center.
Saap, which means “delicious” in the language of Isaan, features traditional-style Thai dishes, primarily from the Isaan region. The food is prepared to order using a wood-fired grill and bamboo rice steamers.
Many of Rung’s recipes were passed down from family members and are steeped in tradition and use uniquely Isaan and seasonal ingredients.
“I cook what I ate at home,” Rung said. According to Rung, good food is very important to the culture in Isaan. “People talk about food all the time, it’s part of our traditions.” Many of the ingredients used in Isaan come from the nearby jungle.
Some of the ingredients used at Saap are not available locally and must be purchased in Boston, Steve said.
In comparing the food from the different regions in Thailand, Steve said, “Thailand is known for its amazing balance of sweet, sour, bitter, and salty flavors often finished with aromatic herbs. In the Isaan region there is an abundance of bitter herbs paired with pungent dipping sauces and sticky rice. In the south, on the other hand, there are more sweet curries and seafood paired with Jasmine rice.”
Served raw, stir fried, pickled or fermented are just a few of the many ways vegetables are celebrated in Thai cuisine. Raw vegetables are served alongside highly seasoned meats, salads and dips creating a contrast. Along with the abundance of vegetables Isaan food includes a varied and complex array of fresh fruits. Typically eaten at the end of a meal and often throughout the day, fresh tropical fruits are highly important and revered in Thai culture.
Steve, who operates the Saap dining room and also is a chef, has 36 years in the restaurant industry. His career began at The Partridge Inn in Stowe as a line cook. Since then he worked as a chef at Chez Henri in Waitsfield, executive chef at National Life Insurance Co., and chef instructor at New England Culinary Institute in Montpelier.
Prior to opening Saap, Steve worked at Gifford Medical Center. He has traveled to Thailand many times to study the cuisine of various regions, learn techniques and flavor profiles unique to Thai cooking. Steve is originally from Berlin.
“We have a passion for northern Thai fare. We emulate and share the wild, fresh and fiery flavors of this wonderful region. At Saap, we believe good food doesn’t have to be overly expensive to be complex, intriguing, and exquisitely delicious,” Steve said.
Saap is open daily, Monday through Saturday, from noon to 2 p.m. and 4 to 8:30 p.m., for in-house dining or takeout. | https://www.timesargus.com/news/local/2022-james-beard-awards-saap-gets-a-nomination-as-best/article_546a23b1-4c1d-52b0-9959-0f382d8112b2.html | 2022-04-01T01:36:18Z |
RICHLAND COUNTY, S.C. — A section of Decker Boulevard has reopened after a fire initially closed it on Thursday afternoon.
According to a spokesperson for the Columbia-Richland Fire Department, crews were called to the 1900 block of Decker Boulevard just before 6 p.m. where a mobile home was burning.
The resulting blaze forced crews to temporarily detour westbound traffic onto Castle Pinckney Road as they worked to get contain it. The department confirmed around 8 p.m. that the road had since reopened.
With the flames now under control, the fire department officially reports that there were no reported injuries. At this point, fire officials said the significantly damaged home appears to have been abandoned. The cause is still under investigation.
The Columbia-Richland Fire Department thanked Fort Jackson Fire Department and the Richland County Sheriff's Department for their assistance on the scene. | https://www.wltx.com/article/news/local/decker-boulevard-reopens-mobile-home-fire/101-19560586-0f52-41cc-8d8f-6f28e68c613e | 2022-04-01T01:36:18Z |
Labor challenges Cash on FWC 'cronies'
Labor has accused the federal government of stacking a workplace tribunal with "cronies" in the lead up to the federal election.
Industrial Relations Minister Michaelia Cash has declined to rule out making further appointments to the Fair Work Commission before the government enters caretaker mode, arguing it's still governing.
In a heated exchange during Senate estimates on Friday, Labor senator Louise Pratt pressed the minister on whether the government would appoint more "cronies" to the commission.
Senator Cash said the government was continuing to operate.
"That is a decision for government, and the government will make decisions as required," she said.
"I could not be clearer."
Senator Cash disagreed with Labor's claim the government had appointed "cronies" to the commission.
"These are highly qualified people with relevant expertise in the necessary area," she said.
"So I do reject the premise of your question."
On Friday, Senator Cash announced the appointments of a number of judges.
Two new FWC members were appointed in December.
A government official told the hearing there were currently 43 commissioners or higher level members, with funding for 44.
The election is due in May and could be called as early as next week. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-10674723/Labor-challenges-Cash-FWC-cronies.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-04-01T01:36:18Z |
With a machine merely mimicking a brain’s logical processes, however numerous or complex, it is truly preposterous to believe that a mind is at work inside the box
In any case, no process can be said to actually be consciousness, any more than a digital piano can be called a musician, even if it has a massive repertoire with complex programs that make it indistinguishable from a human player. Basically, no quantity of observed correlations between a brain, the information it processes, and what that brain’s owner experiences is adequate to get us from the world of encoded information to the qualitative world of someone being informed. Consciousness could be an innate property of all living organisms, or of matter in general, or even be independent of matter, operating as a field that is concentrated and finds an interface in neural networks through some as yet unknown principle.
I recently read a https://homeloansplus.org/payday-loans-nj/ very interesting book called ‘Understanding Thinking’ which has a chapter (chapter two) on the differences between the ubiquitous general purpose computer and the emergent properties of our neural networks. The author’s intention, I think, is to try to wake educationalists up to the fact that neuroscience / AI / neural network simulation has discovered new and previously unimaginable principles about the way we perceive the world, trap experiences, generalise, abstract, learn, etc., which have profound implications for education. It also suggests that we need to start developing a new vocabulary to better convey these ideas as our old ideas about rationality, memory, awareness, consciousness, mind, matter, etc., are rather misleading. It covers some of the same issues as this essay, but from a slightly different perspective, and identifies some other difference as well. Bart
Interesting read. Now I’m more confident that robots won’t take over the world in the future. Thanks for the interesting comparisons
To be honest i think u’d need a supercomputer just to model one brain cell, and it would still probably fail.
We just dont have the technology. In a few hundred years people will laugh at throwing a buncha little OR and NAND gates together and thinking that could ever have intelligence.
You make some good points here. I still like to use the analogy of RAM and short term memory people (though of course they are not the same) because it shows people how important it is as far as processing things. People know that if you increase RAM you can do more tasks at once, where short term memory is similar because it determines how much information you can hold in your head at once. Great article and it was very informative.
You can read that section for free (preview) at lulu/content/01224917 or you can ‘search inside the book’ at amazon (search for ‘Understanding Thinking’
There are so many topics to be sorted out here, time is too short. I would however like to defend Minsky Papert’s work on perceptrons. When that was written (about 30 years ago), perceptrons were being promoted as a realistic paradigm for neural modelling, and in fact were the only neural-modelling paradigm that had been fully worked out. M P did a superb and devastating job of analysing them better than anyone before them and showing conclusively that they were inadequate; and this was, and remains, a model of intellectual clarity and original thought. M P did not consider three-layer networks because nobody had considered them at that time, and because they were, after all, talking about perceptrons. | http://www.hurfikirler.com/we-don-t-even-have-a-scientific-model-of-what-a/ | 2022-04-01T01:36:18Z |

China Stock Market Predicted To Open Under Pressure On Friday
(RTTNews) - The China stock market has alternated between positive and negative finishes through the last four trading days since the end of the two-day losing streak in which it had fallen almost 60 points or 1.8 percent. The Shanghai Composite Index now rests just above the 3,250-point plateau and it's likely to see additional consolidation on Friday.
The global forecast for the Asian markets is soft, with oil and technology stocks expected to lead the way lower. The European and U.S. markets were down and the Asian bourses are tipped to open in similar fashion.
The SCI finished modestly lower on Thursday following mixed performances from the financials, properties and resource and energy companies.
For the day, the index lost 14.39 points or 0.44 percent to finish at 3,252.20 after trading between 3,246.06 and 3,272.04. The Shenzhen Composite Index slumped 19.66 points or 0.92 percent to end at 2,117.96.

The Dow plummeted 550.46 points or 1.56 percent to finish at 34,678.35, while the NASDAQ plunged 221.76 points or 1.54 percent to close at 14,220.52 and the S&P 500 tumbled 72.04 points or 1.57 percent to end at 4,530.41.

Jared Polis, Dylan Roberts say enough is enough on tourism marketing
New bill, signed from Edwards, says lodging tax no longer needs to go 100 percent toward advertising Colorado
Hotel guests in Colorado will no longer see 100 percent of the funds they pay into county lodging taxes used for marketing efforts telling them to return, thanks to a bill signed into law Thursday in Edwards.
Those marketing efforts aren’t as necessary if the tourism industry is facing larger problems servicing the guests who are already here, said Gov. Jared Polis, in a speech explaining why he feels the new bill is important.
“If the tourism community, and the industry, needs housing, because they need workers to be able to power the tourism industry, that should be an allowable use of funds too,” Polis said.
Polis credited Rep. Dylan Roberts, a Democrat who lives in Avon, for his work on the bill, saying Eagle County, where Roberts lives, is an example of a place where lodging tax funds would be better spent on housing than marketing.
“That’s exactly the situation we have in Eagle County,” Polis said. “Our recreation economy, our tourism economy, depends on housing.”
The new bill says 90 percent of the lodging tax funds can be used outside of toursim marketing, allowing counties to make capital expenditures out of their lodging tax coffers for housing and child care, or for facilitating and enhancing visitor experiences, which includes trail maintenance.
A plus for public housing
In an effort to visit the types of projects that could benefit from the bill, Polis toured Miller Ranch in Edwards and the town-owned property in Vail known as the Residences at Main Vail, which is being converted from a preschool to a mix of 72 one- and two-bedroom apartments.
“Communities are healthiest when people who work in communities are also able to live in communities,” Polis said. “It also reduces traffic, takes cars off our roads, leads to cleaner air, and if people can live close to where they work, it also improves employee morale and retention.”
But that doesn’t mean downvalley housing isn’t important, as well. Polis said in the complicated layout of Eagle County, where numerous towns comprise a single workforce, the answer has to be yes to many of the questions on housing.
“It’s yes to transit oriented development downvalley,“ he said. ”And it’s yes to additional apartments where we can, for an increasingly year round workforce close to the town, as well.“
Serendipitous timing
Roberts said in examining the history of Colorado counties’ ability to lobby lodging taxes, it may have made more sense in the 1980s to stipulate that those lodging taxes be used strictly for the purposes of advertising and marketing local tourism.
“That was back in a time when Colorado wasn’t as much of a tourism hotspot as it is today, and I think it was seen as a way to try to promote Colorado, and generating resources to do that,” Roberts said. “But now, we live in a totally different world here in our mountain communities, where people are coming here in droves regardless of what sort of marketing is done elsewhere, and we’re feeling the consequences of it, with our housing crisis, with the cost of living being so high for people who want to live and work here.”
As Roberts was presenting the bill to the state legislature in January, crowded ski areas were receiving media attention across the country, with pictures of long lift lines and crowded roads and parking lots being shared in traditional and social media.
“It was pretty serendipitous timing,” Roberts said. “There was a lot of press across the state and the country about some of the impacts of sky-high visitors at any Vail resort across the country.”
Roberts said he referenced those current events in his presentation of the bill.
“At first, the hotel lobbying association and the statewide tourism groups were hesitant about this bill,” Roberts said. “But I was able to point to the fact that this was happening right now as we’re sitting here, my community and other communities across the state are grappling with the significant impacts of increased visitation in our communities.”
Roberts said in addition to receiving support from the tourism industry, the bill received bipartisan support in the legislature.
“We made compromises and got the bill to a place where nobody was opposed to this,” Roberts said. “This was a bipartisan bill from the very start.”
‘Year after year funding’
In Eagle County and Summit County, there is no county lodging tax currently. Roberts said Eagle County and Summit County officials were not likely to ask voters for one either, given the fact that funds would have needed to be used for tourism marketing.
“(Local county commissioners) don’t see it as a useful thing to ask voters for,” Roberts said.
With the signing of HB22-1117 on Thursday, “Now they can go to their voters and ask for a lodging tax to generate funding for housing.”
Roberts said in that idea comes some hope when it comes to the housing crisis resort communities are facing.
“We have a lot of one-time funds for housing, or we do one project, but this could be year after year funding for housing and workforce development,” he said.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A former minor league pitcher ran a major league illegal sports betting operation in California that used other former pro athletes to take bets and took wagers from players still in the game, federal prosecutors said Thursday.
Wayne Nix, who threw for Oakland Athletics farm teams, used his connections to recruit three former Major League Baseball players and a former pro football player as fellow bookies, prosecutors said.
The MLB began looking into the matter when it learned of it Thursday, but was unaware any of those involved other than Nix, a spokesman said.
Court records offered no names of the players who worked for Nix or those who placed bets with his business, but they provide a glimpse of the kind of money being wagered, earned and lost.
A professional football player paid Nix $245,000 for gambling losses in 2016. An MLB coach paid $4,000 in losses that same year. It was not disclosed if either bet on their own games or their own sports.
MLB prohibits players from betting on baseball or gambling illegally on sports. They can bet on other sports if it’s legal. The National Football League policy bars all personnel from betting on football games.
A Los Angeles check cashing business that has agreed to plead guilty to failing to prevent money laundering in the scheme cashed over $18 million in checks from two single bettors, prosecutors said.
One client wagered $5 million on the Super Bowl but it was not revealed if that gambit paid off.
Sports betting is legal in 30 states, but not in California. However, voters will have a chance to legalize it at the polls in November.
Nix, 45, has agreed to plead guilty to conspiring to run an illegal gambling operation and faces up to eight years in prison. He also admitted he failed to report $1.4 million in income in 2017 and 2018. He has agreed to pay back taxes and interest of $1.25 million and forfeit $1.3 million seized from bank accounts.
Nix began the sports bookmaking business about 20 years ago after his six-year minor league career — with stops in Arizona, Texas and California — ended, prosecutors said.
His client list was created from contacts he had made in the sports world and included current and former pro athletes. The agents he hired helped expand that clientele.
The operation eventually began using a Costa Rican business, Sand Island Sports, to create accounts where bets could be placed and tracked and credit limits set, prosecutors said. Bets were placed online or through a call center, though Nix paid winners and kept most of the money from losing bets.
Those who exceeded credit limits were shut off, though exceptions were made, according to court documents.
A sports broadcaster's account was reactivated in February 2019 after he told Nix he was refinancing his home mortgage to pay off his gambling debts.
In September 2019, Nix increased the credit limit to a baseball player with debts so he could make additional bets.
In November, 2019, Nix's partner, Edon Kagasoff, told a business manager for a professional basketball player that he would increase the maximum wager he could place to $25,000 per NBA game.
Kagasoff, 44, faces the same conspiracy charge as Nix. He also agreed to plead guilty and forfeit over $3 million in funds seized from his home and bank accounts. | https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Ex-minor-leaguer-ran-major-league-sports-betting-17049855.php | 2022-04-01T01:36:21Z |
Is everything fair in love and basketball? Eric Church wrote an email to everyone who was going to attend his Saturday concert on April 2, explaining that he was canceling the show to watch the University of North Carolina play Duke in the NCAA tournament.
“This Saturday, my family and I are going to cheer for Tar Heels together, as the team has reached the Final Four. As a longtime Carolina basketball fan, I’ve been watching the Carolina and Duke battles for a year, but for the first time in the history of the NCAA tournament, they will fight in the Final Four — this is the dream of any sports fan,” the 44—year-old man said. the country star wrote.
Church noted that it is the “most selfish” act to ask his fans, known as “Glee”, “to abandon your plans for Saturday night with us so that I can spend this moment with my family and the sports community.”
The “Heart on Fire” pop artist continued, “However, the same type of passion that people who take seats at our concerts feel makes us want to be part of the crowd at a game of such significance.”
Church concluded his statement with a quote from the late North Carolina Tar Heels announcer Woody Durham, writing, “Woody Durham always said, ‘Go where you go and do what you do,’ thank you for letting me come here and be with Tar Heels.”.
Social media users — and those who are going to attend the show scheduled for Saturday at the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas – loudly announced this decision.
“Tell your friend Eric Church that he owes me $460 for my hotel in San Antonio,” one person wrote.
Another fan wrote: “Eric Church didn’t cancel the concert when his whole band got sick with coronavirus, but he canceled it for a basketball game 😭 ngl I would be angry if I had these tickets.”
“$800 for a two-person flight from Miami to Austin, $950 for car rental, $500 for a night at a riverside hotel in San Antonio, $2,000 for 2 front row tickets (for the second time) — all for nothing,” wrote a third Twitter user. “I hope North Carolina wins for you. I’m more than disappointed. Damn, bro. @ericchurch».
Other users appreciated Church’s candor, with one person tweeting: “Thanks to Eric Church for openly announcing the cancellation of the show to watch his Heels in FF, he could easily come up with an excuse BS, lol.” | https://www.somagnews.com/eric-church-cancels-concert-before-duke-unc-final-four-game-read-the-email-to-fans-that-caused-a-negative-reaction/ | 2022-04-01T01:36:23Z |

BARRE TOWN — Two men are working on a gravel bike ride they hope will turn into an annual event bringing hundreds of riders who would start and end in Barre Town in October.
At its regular meeting Tuesday night, the Select Board heard from Steve Maas and Phil Kolling, owners of Green Mountain Gravel, a limited liability company based in Graniteville that promotes gravel riding in Vermont — an activity in which people ride on gravel roads using bikes that are a cross between a mountain bike and a road bike. The pair are working on a gravel-ride event that is tentatively scheduled for Oct. 9. The event will feature three rides: an 18-mile course, a 37-mile course and a 60-mile course. All of the courses would start at the town’s picnic shelter at separate times with the goal of having all the riders finish around the same time. The event is planned to run through parts of Brookfield, Chelsea, Corinth, Washington and Williamstown.
The pair said they were at Tuesday’s meeting to get support from the “hosting” town before reaching out to the other towns involved.
Kolling said the plan is to turn this into an annual event. He said there are similar events held around the state, including in Waterbury and in Montpelier.
“We just thought this would be a great spot to have one because we have great gravel roads all over the place. Anything between (routes) 110 and 14 is complete gravel on either side, so there’s a lot of opportunity here. We wanted to bring something to where we live and say, ‘Hey, don’t leave us out,’” Kolling said.
Maas said the routes will overlap as much as possible so riders aren’t using multiple different roads. He said they don’t yet know how many people will attend, but they are capping registration at 300.
“As far as gravel rides in Vermont go, 300 is fairly modest,” he said.
Maas said a similar event in Burke draws around 2,000 people.
Maas said this event will likely have food trucks and caterers, some of whom may serve beer. He said the vendors would be responsible for obtaining liquor licenses.
He said this event would not be a race, it’s a collective ride. He said riders would sign a waiver stating they are riding under their own responsibility and liability.
Maas said riders will be expected to ride single file. He said organizers will patrol the routes to make sure riders aren’t bunching up or someone isn’t having mechanical issues and in need of assistance.
All three routes will follow the bike path from the picnic shelter to Compo Street and then take a left turn onto Graniteville Road. The plan is to close Compo Street the day of the event and position a police officer at the intersection of Graniteville Road to direct traffic. Other town roads that are expected to be used for the event are Lowery Road, Little John Road and Brook Street.
Town officials said they weren’t sure whether the town will charge the company for the use of that officer. The town has a policy in place that dictates what events can be charged for the use of police services.
Assistant Town Manager Elaine Wang said she checked with some towns that have held similar events. Wang said they suggested letting residents on impacted roads know about the event well in advance. She said there are some residents who ride horses on town trails, so riders should know to stop when they encounter someone on a horse.
Wang said there wasn’t much to report for issues related to these events. She said if there are crashes, they tend to be minor and could occur with any bike rider on a road and no cars hitting riders were reported.
Maas said organizers would make the ambulance service aware of the event, but he didn’t think they would need anyone on site.
The board didn’t take any action Tuesday. Board Chair Paul White said the town would need a certificate of insurance from the organizers and to know when the officer would need to conduct traffic control before formally signing off on the event. Though board members said generally they were in support of the event.
White said after learning more about gravel riding, “I think this is the ideal place to do it.”

COLUMBIA, S.C. — News19 Anchor JR Berry has been honored with the prestigious Masters Award by the South Carolina Broadcasters Association at a ceremony Thursday in Columbia.
The Masters Award is presented to individuals who have lifetime achievements as an on-air broadcaster for radio and/or television and who have made significant contributions to broadcasting in South Carolina and to the communities they serve.
JR has been in the broadcasting industry for 45 years, connecting with the people in the Midlands through both radio and television. He started in radio in 1976 on WSSC in his hometown of Sumter, SC. From 1994 to 1996 JR anchored the morning news for WVOC.
JR joined WLTX-TV in 1990 as a part-time reporter. In 1998, JR became the Morning and Noon Anchor on News19, teaming up with then-meteorologist Darci Strickland. In September 2002, JR became the Anchor of News19 at 6 p.m. and 11 p.m., teaming up again with Darci Strickland and joining Chief Meteorologist Jim Gandy and Sports Director Bob Shields, creating Columbia's true hometown News team.
The Sumter native has been recognized for his work with Emmy awards and the prestigious Edward R. Murrow award. He has also been honored by the Associated Press for Investigative Reporting, Spot News, and Documentary work.
Over the years, JR has interviewed hundreds of people in the Midlands and around the country, putting him face-to-face with some of the most powerful and influential people in the nation. JR’s love for solid journalism, good storytelling, and his knowledge of the local area have made him one of the most respected journalists in the Southeast.
JR has six children and sixteen grandchildren. In his spare time, you can usually find him involved in a community event or out on the golf course. | https://www.wltx.com/article/news/local/jr-berry-masters-award-scba/101-4a5eeed3-52d3-4099-97be-068c425e2334 | 2022-04-01T01:36:25Z |
Police 'ready to arrest' Smith after Oscar slap: producer
Will Smith remained at the Oscars after hitting Chris Rock, and was given the best actor award half an hour later
Police officers were ready to arrest Will Smith after he attacked comedian Chris Rock at the Oscars, the show's producer said Thursday.
In his first public comments since the shocking episode that marred Hollywood's most important evening, Will Packer said he had sat with Rock when officers came to speak to him.
"They were saying, you know, this is battery.... 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, you have -- they were laying out the options," Packer told ABC Television.
"Chris was -- he was being very dismissive of those options. He was like, 'I'm fine.'"
Los Angeles police "officers finished laying out what his options were and they said, 'You know, would you like us to take any action?' and he said 'No.'"
Police in Los Angeles said Sunday that Rock had declined to file a report.
Smith shocked the entertainment world by mounting the stage during the live broadcast of the Oscars and hitting Rock over a joke about the actor's wife.
Half an hour later, Smith was awarded the best actor Oscar for his role in "King Richard" -- the movie industry's highest honor for a male performer.
The announcement was greeted with cheers and applause from the crowd of industry insiders.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the body that awards the Oscars, said Wednesday Smith had been asked to leave the ceremony after the assault, but had refused.
Conflicting reports emerged Thursday over that detail, including one that suggested Packer had asked him to remain in the Dolby Theatre.
In the brief clip, aired Thursday on ABC ahead of the full interview scheduled for Friday, Packer denied having spoken to Smith.
- Zoom meeting -
The Academy said Wednesday it was mulling punishment -- including possible expulsion -- for Smith, one of Hollywood's most bankable stars, and only the fifth Black man to win a leading actor Oscar.
"The Board of Governors today initiated disciplinary proceedings against Mr. Will Smith for violations of the Academy's Standards of Conduct, including inappropriate physical contact, abusive or threatening behavior, and compromising the integrity of the Academy," the statement said.
"The Academy may take any disciplinary action, which may include suspension, expulsion, or other sanctions."
Trade title Variety reported Thursday that Academy chiefs Dawn Hudson and David Rubin spoke with Smith on Tuesday, 24 hours before the organization issued its damning statement.
It quoted sources saying the Zoom meeting had lasted up to 30 minutes.
During the conversation Smith apologized for his attack on Rock, and said he was aware there would be consequences, Variety reported.
Smith issued an Instagram apology on Monday, in which he called his behavior "unacceptable and inexcusable."
"I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be."
Rock, whose US comedy tour began in Boston this week told audience members he was "still kind of processing" the incident.
He made no further comment. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/afp/article-10674543/Police-ready-arrest-Smith-Oscar-slap-producer.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-04-01T01:36:25Z |
Why Mike Hopkins Should be Syracuse’s Next Head Coach
After going over the two most likely candidates to be Syracuse’s next head coach last week, it’s time to move to some unlikely possibilities, but possibilities nonetheless. Mike Hopkins was destined to be the head coach at Syracuse University. He was declared the coach-in-waiting, and had the job lined...

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.ksnt.com/washington/washington-dc/bill-seeks-to-put-cap-on-overdraft-fees/ | 2022-04-01T01:36:24Z |
Urban Organics with the PaperPot Planter
March 31, 2022
I’ve been taking a slow week as I’m visiting with my son in Ozark, Missouri. Brendan is co-manager, with his partner Liesel McCleary, of Finley Farms, an organic farm in a (small town) urban setting.
What’s amazing about the current generation of small-footprint farms is the emphasis on high output on low acreage, using simple, but very elegant tools. | https://climatecrocks.com/2022/03/31/urban-organics-with-the-paperpot-planter/ | 2022-04-01T01:36:26Z |

Fracture Friday: Olympian Nina O’Brien recovering in Edwards, planning for redemption
O’Brien undergoing hyperbaric oxygen therapy for fractures in her leg
Fracture Fridays
Editor’s Note: Six weeks after Team USA alpine skier Nina O’Brien broke her left tibia and fibula in a high-speed crash during the women’s giant slalom event in Beijing, she returned to the Vail Valley to pursue her recovery with NexGen Hyperbaric at All Points North Lodge in the Cordillera in Edwards. The Vail Daily recently visited O’Brien to hear about her path to recovery and redemption. All words were spoken by O’Brien in an interview and then transcribed for this story.
The injury
On the day of the GS race in Beijing, I woke up feeling confident and was just trying to stay relaxed. I really believed that I was capable of having a great result. I was feeling all the emotions of being at the Olympics and the significance of that day— the first time of me racing at the Olympics. There was a lot of emotions there.
But I wanted to put aside any fear or pressure or expectations, and really go for it. And I think I was able to do that. I had a great first run, better than I even thought I was skiing. I was pleasantly surprised to see the result, but that even gave me even more confidence because I felt like I had a few mistakes on my first run, so there was room to improve.
I was sitting in sixth, and then we had this long break in between runs, which was like five hours. It was unusually long. But I felt very relaxed and was just trying to stay loose and not think too much about the results.
My mentality was to just go for it in the second run; in the very least, I can say I did that.
I’ve had races in the past where it felt like I didn’t give it my all, and that’s a pretty awful feeling when you had more that you didn’t show. So, I wanted to put it all out there, and unfortunately, I wasn’t skiing well. I vividly remember at the end of the course feeling like I was getting a little bit behind the line, but the tempo was stacking up on me.
I don’t actually remember what caused the crash. That part happened very quickly, but I remained pretty lucid and aware of everything that was going on through the fall and thereafter.
I went to a hospital in Beijing that was shut down just for Olympic athletes, so it was very empty, it was part of our COVID bubble. I was allowed to have one person from the US Ski team with me, so I wasn’t there completely alone, which was nice. I had surgery the night of my fall to stabilize. I had a compound fracture, so they basically lined everything back up, put me in an external fixator just to get me stabilized and from there after I was just recovering in the hospital for two days.
I then went to a hotel in Beijing where I was with US Ski team coaches and staff so it felt good to get out of the hospital and see my team again. And then I made the journey from Beijing to Tokyo to Dallas to Denver, which was a little bit uncomfortable. But I did fly with some teammates who carried all my bags, and they were great to me. Everyone on the airlines took wonderful care of me, and it felt awesome to get home.
The recovery
Editor’s Note: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a form of treatment where a patient breaths 100% oxygen while in a chamber of varying atmospheric pressure to promote circulation and healing. The tech on site that day likened the sensation to “going up and down in an airplane.” O’Brien is scheduled for 60 days worth of hyperbaric treatments at NexGen, in addition to months of physical therapy.
It’s a lot of physical therapy sessions in the chamber here. I’m in the stages where I’m trying to get mobility back in my joints, and I still need my bones to heal. Before I can get back on snow and doing what I love, I really have to get strong again. So, it’s a long way to go, but I’m in the best of hands so I’m feeling pretty confident about the team I have around me and getting back on snow.
The redemption
Editor’s Note: As O’Brien takes the time she needs to heal, she is setting her sights on an Olympic return.
My goals haven’t changed at all. Certainly, this is a bump in the road and a challenge that I have to overcome, but the end goal is still the same. Hopefully in four years or whatever (at the next winter Olympics) I will be back in that starting gate, and I’m even better than I will have ever been. I’m hoping there’s a good redemption story.

Rick Ross says he is serious about climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.
The rapper has been open about many goals he has set for himself. From owing dozens of cars and only learning to drive at 45 years old, the Rozay rapper is not one to cop out.
Rick Ross recently disclosed on the Full Send Podcast that he has set some ambitious goals for himself this year, including climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa.
“I really believe when I put my heart to something, I can do anything,” he began. “As a matter of fact, I was smoking, I was on my back patio last night, I’m sitting underneath the trees, I’m listening to the waterfall, I’m looking at the plants, the landscaping, the patio furniture, you know? And I gave myself a challenge and I’m actually issuing you guys a challenge here,” he says.
“This is the first time I’ve said this, but in 2024, I’ma hike to the top of Kilimanjaro. Just making it to the top, and you going with me.”
Mount Kilimanjaro is a dormant volcano in Tanzania famous for its three volcanic cones, namely Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira. The mountain forms the highest peek on the African continent making it no easy fete to climb.
Mount Kilimanjaro is known as one of the most difficult mountains to climb but not because of how steep the trails are but because the hardest part is getting to the summit, which at night is extremely difficult as this is the coldest, windiest section of the adventure with an ascent of 4,084ft with 49% less oxygen and descent of nearly 6,870ft. Still, about 30,000 people attempt to climb the mountain annually, and there are about 10 fatalities per year.
However, Rick Ross isn’t deterred as he says he’s determined to complete the climb.
“I’m the boss, I don’t look into nothing,” he said. “I make my mind up, it’s not really that big. I just gotta get it done. And what you gotta realize, if you notice I said 2024. So for the rest of this year, I’m getting prepared mentally, next year I get prepared physically.”
When asked about the length of days to complete the journey, he says, “Who knows? I’m guessing five/10 days, some shit like that. Give me 12 days, no rush. That’s what we doing. I’m not sure [about the elevation], I would wanna guess maybe 5000 [metres] or some type of shit.”
And he’s already preparing in terms of food and company as he says he’s not going on his own because someone needs to carry his Wingstop fries and chips. | https://cubachronicle.com/rick-ross-reveals-his-next-big-project-is-climbing-mount-kilimanjaro/ | 2022-04-01T01:36:25Z |

LONG BEACH, Calif., March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- It's official: The powerful, stylish and agile hot hatch U.S. drivers are looking for is on its way, the first-ever 2023 GR Corolla. With the detail-obsessed TOYOTA GAZOO Racing team at the helm, and master driver Akio Toyoda, a.k.a. Morizo, signing off on approval, this all-new addition to Toyota's growing lineup of sports cars brings the performance, handling and functionality that hot hatch fans love.
Powered by the lightweight, compact-yet-powerful G16E-GTS turbo-charged, direct/port injected three-cylinder engine, GR Corolla delivers 300 hp and 273 lb.-ft. of torque. Engineered for snappy acceleration out of the corners, output hits peak torque at 3000-5500 rpm, with max horsepower coming at 6500 rpm. Its thrill-inducing power is piped through a unique triple exhaust that's designed to reduce backpressure for maximum power delivery.
The G16-E engine is paired with Toyota's rally developed GR-Four All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) drivetrain. This system gives drivers a choice of 60-40, 50-50 or 30-70 power distribution to the front and rear wheels. GR Corolla will be offered exclusively in a manual transmission, staying true to its hands-on rally racing roots.
Its broad hatch profile and low center of gravity are built on Toyota's GA-C platform, with enhanced frame reinforcements developed specifically for GR Corolla at GR Factory at Toyota Motomachi plant. Functional exterior air vents and aerodynamic features further support steering stability.
GR Corolla will come in two grades, Core and Circuit Edition.
The Core Grade will be available later this year in white, black and Supersonic Red. It will have a color keyed roof with rear lip spoiler, GR-Four stamped side rockers and wide-fender flares. On the inside, seating for five will come with GR logoed fabric sport seats.
The Circuit Edition will be a limited-run model available in 2023. Standard colors are white, Supersonic Red and Heavy Metal with the same GR-Four stamped side rockers and wide fenders as the Core. It adds a forged carbon fiber roof, vented bulge hood and a sporty rear spoiler, Brin Naub® suede-trimmed sport seats with red accents and a launch-year-exclusive Morizo signed shift knob.
The GR Corolla will come equipped with the all-new touchscreen Toyota Audio Multimedia system.
Pricing will be announced later this year.
Race Inspired Engineering
In 2007, Toyota expanded its car development activities with a decision to compete in the 24 Hours Nürburgring, the grueling endurance race held on the famous track winding through the German forest. However, as an unofficial Toyota activity, the team was called GAZOO Racing and was made up of employees, including Akio Toyoda driving under the alias of Morizo.
With a limited budget, the newly named team entered the race with two second-hand Altezzas. Despite adversity, both cars finished the challenging race, and a new era of Toyota motorsports and product development, one founded on a spirit of challenge aimed at instigating change, began.
As TOYOTA GAZOO Racing's first wholly developed and manufactured model for the North American market, the GR Corolla carries this spirit forward.
With professional drivers, experts and Morizo at the wheel, GR Corolla was tested repeatedly at some of Japan's leading circuits, including Fuji Speedway, Suzuka and Tsukuba Circuit. In addition, the GR team carried out heavy duty dirt and snow driving with a Japanese Rally Championship driver. No road was left unturned in the process, so engineers and technicians could sharpen acceleration and control worthy of the GR name.
GR Factory
To help meet the performance goals for the GR Corolla, Toyota has established a dedicated GR Factory at its production facility in Motomachi, Japan. It's the birthplace of legends such as the Lexus LFA and Supra A80 and is now home to the first GR production line, where GR Corolla and GR Yaris are precision built.
Instead of the traditional conveyor system, the body and assembly lines comprise several different cells connected by automatic guided vehicles (AGVs) rather than the conveyors featured in conventional car plants. This fully flexible method of working, with many manual assembly techniques, enables precise body and suspension alignment, with variations in vehicle dimensions and weight kept to a minimum.
Being built by experts means that the assembly of each GR Corolla takes longer than a conventional mass-produced car. The production line has been streamlined for performance, with elements such as body alignment and weld checks to ensure that each GR Corolla is built with meticulous care and attention.
Toyota Gazoo Racing has brought together highly skilled technicians from throughout the company to work on the GR Corolla. This team not only assembles every GR Corolla but also contributes to the technical skills of workers at other Toyota facilities. It's a team structure that's part of the overall GR mission at Toyota, developing people, driving fans and making ever better cars.
The GR-FOUR System
With all TOYOTA GAZOO Racing sports cars firmly rooted in motorsports, it only makes sense that the GR Corolla's drivetrain was born from the rigors of rally racing.
At the heart of the new GR Corolla is the GR-FOUR All-Wheel-Drive system, Toyota's first sports all-wheel-drive system in over 20 years. Developed in collaboration with the TOYOTA GAZOO Racing World Rally Team and honed by WRC drivers, it delivers exceptional levels of traction and control with engineering designed to optimize drive power to each wheel, while also being simple and lightweight.
Made for rally, the GR-FOUR system is designed for a variety of conditions. Whether the driver is looking to adjust performance for dirt, rain or snow, or just in the mood for a different feel, the GR-FOUR system offers settings to match.
With the twist of a dial, GR Corolla can adjust four-wheel drive performance to fit the driver's needs. For every-day situations, drivers can set a front/rear torque distribution of 60:40; for a more sport setting, balance can shift to the rear, with 30:70 distribution for a fun-to-drive quality on winding roads and circuits; and for maximum stability a 50:50 setting can be used for fast, competitive track driving on circuits or special stages. In each mode, the torque balance will automatically adjust in response to the driver's inputs, vehicle behavior and road or track conditions.
The GR Corolla Circuit Edition is also equipped with front and rear Torsen Limited-Slip Differentials (LSD), which offer enhanced cornering performance and grip with control of left and right-hand drive torque distribution on the front and rear axles. Front and rear LSD is available as part of the Performance Package on the Core grade, with 4WD open differentials standard.
Revolutionary 3-Cylinder Turbo Engine
For GR Corolla, we took the same turbocharged G16E-GTS powerplant used in the GR Yaris and boosted its output. This compact-yet-powerful three-cylinder engine has increased power for GR Corolla thanks to improved engine exhaust efficiency thanks to a 3-piece muffler with valve capped off with brushed stainless steel tips. This design reduces exhaust pressure and outside noise, which are essential to backpressure performance.
The G16E also benefits from motorsport technologies that maximize performance, including multi-oil jet piston cooling, large-diameter exhaust valves and a part-machined intake port. Displacing 1,618 cubic centimeters, it produces a maximum power of 300 hp and 273 pound-feet of torque.
Compact and lightweight, the DOHC 12-valve engine features a single-scroll ball-bearing turbo that's matched to a 6-speed intelligent manual transmission (iMT) with rev-matching engineered to accommodate high torque levels. The turbocharger is integrated in the exhaust manifold, reducing weight, while control of wastegate bypass gases is used to improve the catalyst's warm-up efficiency. Combustion is fed by Toyota's D-4S direct and port fuel injection system, which operates at high pressure for maximum fuel dispersion and efficiency.
Wide, Rigid and Designed to Handle
To achieve control worthy of the GR badge, a highly rigid body was specially constructed for GR Corolla. Based off the GA-C platform, it produced handling performance that rewards the driver. Enhanced rigidity comes from significantly more weld points in the frame, particularly to strengthen joints. Further gains are made through extensive use of structural adhesive, increasing the joint rigidity between component parts.
The front suspension is a MacPherson-type strut design that offers both light weight and firm handling, maximizing the tires' grip potential. Made up of circuit-tuned coil springs, shock absorbers and stabilizer bars, the front suspension is designed to deliver all the engine's power to the road and provide optimum cornering capability on all surfaces. The rear suspension uses a double-wishbone type multilink system that accommodates the AWD system's goal of maximum agility and stability.
Wide tread tires ensure high cornering performance while maintaining the excellent high speed stability of the GR Corolla's 103.9-inch long wheelbase. It wears Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires 235/40R18 on the both grades and comes equipped with 18-in. gloss-black 15-spoke cast alloy wheels on the grades.
Braking power comes from opposed, fixed-caliper disc brakes with 14 x 1.1-inch ventilated and slotted rotors outfitted with 4-piston aluminum calipers on both grades, the Circuit Edition caliper is red painted with GR logo. At the rear, 11.7-in. x 0.7-in. ventilated rotors with 2-piston aluminum fixed-caliper disc brakes with red-painted calipers and GR logo are standard on the Circuit Edition.
Lightweight and Aerodynamic
Throughout the GR Corolla, there has been a focus on saving weight to maximize the performance potential, without compromising strength and safety. This rigorous approach is particularly evident in the car's construction, with extensive use of lightweight metals and materials used in key areas.
On the Circuit Edition, the roof is made of a forged (rather than woven) carbon sheet molding compound. This lightweight, highly rigid material keeps off the ounces that a steel roof would bring and helps lower the car's center of gravity.
Aluminum is used for the hood and front door panels, with light and strong high-tensile steel in critical areas to ensure the car's structure can safely absorb and dissipate impact forces.
For the best possible aerodynamic performance, GR Corolla's nose ascends to a tapering roof line. Wind flow is directed onto the rear spoiler to generate extra downforce. As with rally cars, the shaping of the front and rear canards and GR-FOUR stamped lower rockers efficiently channel airflow down the sides of the vehicle. Hood, fender and rear bumper ducts and a flat underfloor reduce drag, add downforce and improve stability.
Rally Ready Hot Hatch Style
The wide stance and broad hatch exterior design of GR Corolla projects a strong, attack ready style with its black GR badged functional matrix grill. Flanked by functional air ducts on both sides, the front grille on the Circuit Grade comes in gloss-black and features integrated LED fog lamps. Auto on/off LED headlamps and LED DRLs are standard on both grades.
Both grades feature wide front and rear fender-flares. The Circuit Edition features a bulge hood with functional gloss-black air ducts. The Carbon Fiber roof on the Circuit Edition is matched with a matte-black roof mounted shark fin antenna. The Core Grade features an aluminum hood with a color-keyed roof and matching shark-fin antenna. Gloss-black heated power outside mirrors with turn signal indicators, gloss-black window molding and black GR Corolla badges are standard on both grades.
At the rear, both grades feature a rear lower bumper cover with functional air vents, for an extra touch these vents are gloss-black on the Circuit Edition. The tapering of the roof and rear pillars are complimented by a high mounted matte-black rear spoiler on the Circuit and a gloss-black rear-lip spoiler on the Core Grade. The wide track and flaring of the rear wings emphasize the car's wide and low silhouette.
Race Inspired Interior
The design of the GR Corolla's interior reflects the car's performance, particularly around the driver's cockpit.
Incorporating the feedback of professional drivers, a GR Full TFT meter was newly developed with a 12.3-inch color Multi-Information Display (MID) that has a GR meter with 4WD mode, turbo pressure, gear position indicator and tachometer. The brightly lit display is designed for easy-viewing in any condition and even features a start-up GR animation.

Safety & Other Technology
All GR Corolla grades come standard with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 (TSS 3.0), which includes enhancements made possible by system sensors with improved detection capability. The Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection is also capable of detecting motorcyclists and guardrails in certain conditions. When making a turn or approaching an intersection, the system is designed to detect forward or laterally approaching oncoming vehicles and provides audio/visual alerts and automatic braking in certain conditions. Improved lane recognition delivers refined performance of Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist and Lane Tracing Assist.
GR Corolla will be equipped with Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC). Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist is designed to notify the driver via audible and visual alerts and slight steering force if it senses the vehicle is leaving the lane without engaging a turn signal. When DRCC is set and engaged, Lane Tracing Assist uses visible lane markers or a preceding vehicle to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane.
Automatic High Beams are designed to detect preceding or oncoming vehicles and automatically switch between high beam and low beam headlights. Road Sign Assist is designed to recognize certain road sign information using a forward-facing camera and display them on the multi-information display (MID).
Toyota's Rear Seat Reminder comes standard on all GR Corolla grades. The feature can note whether a rear door was opened within 10 minutes of the vehicle being turned on, or at any time after the vehicle has been turned on, with a reminder message in the instrument cluster after the engine is turned off, accompanied by multitone chimes.
In addition to the TSS 3.0 system, other standard safety features on the GR Corolla include Blind Spot Monitor (BSM), which is designed to help detect and warn you of vehicles approaching or positioned in the adjacent lanes and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) for added peace of mind by helping to detect vehicles approaching from either side while backing out and alerting you with a visual and audible warning. Hill Start Assist Control (HAC) also comes standard.

Have we thought about cultural housing to solve our demographic problems?
This is a transformative idea I think will enrich the benefit package Vermont is offering to address the state’s most elusive solution: that is, changing the mix of our population or said, more specifically, to attract and accommodate young people (ages 18 to 35) to live, work and play in our state. And while we are at it, convince the young people already here, to stay here.
In the somewhat same light, Burlington is in the midst of developing ‘pod type, little house communities’ to help its homeless population enjoy greater safety and comfort while they work their way out of the street life that offers only greater poverty, depression and addiction. Many other states, too, have initiated similar innovative housing projects to solve specific and demanding problems: for example, some states have built ‘little house communities’ to speed the building process and lower building costs. I think these ideas and many like them are transformative.
My cultural housing idea relates to the Burlington initiative in that both specifically address an important demographic need in a creative way. Vermont has a demographic problem that is eroding the values of those of us now living here have long enjoyed and have expected. To continue to enjoy these values, Vermont needs to attract young people to live, work and play in our state, and stay, essentially, life long.
One way is to continue to take advantage of the opportunity (although, tragic as it is) that the current worldwide refugee situation offers. America will be accepting thousands of refugees in the coming months. Our federal government will be reaching out to the states to accommodate and welcome all people from various cultures and backgrounds. Many states in need of increasing population will be competing with Vermont. So, we will have to offer the best benefit package, so to speak.
Housing is a major issue and there are now several Vermont initiatives to build new housing — unfortunately, with old ideas. To enrich the attractiveness of living in Vermont, let’s build with cultural innovation in mind. In our houses, we each customize our home environment to reflect our beliefs, our backgrounds, our emotions and our need to have a home in which life’s stressors take a brief sabbatical and the home environment and activities come front and center to nourish us.
Since so many of the displaced come from Eastern Europe, what can we do to extend our welcome to include housing that reminds them of their homeland, that most likely they will never be able to return to? If we do this welcome and empathetic benefit right, not only will we attract more to live in Vermont, cultural housing will help keep refugees here, who too often move after a short while to places more accommodating to their overall cultural preferences.
Right now, Afghans and Ukrainians will be seeking their homes in U.S. states. The opportunity, actually seen as beneficial by the governor, is a grand one to improve our population mix and by doing so, help us preserve our Vermont values — expected, needed and enjoyed.

MINNEAPOLIS — USC Women Gamecock fans who chartered their Final Four experience here in Minneapolis arrived to the Marquette hotel Thursday afternoon.
That package includes game tickets, flights, a four night stay at this hotel, ground transportation and an event Saturday night.
Rolling up to the Marquette hotel in Minneapolis in style, 80 South Carolinians arrived to the hotel in a chartered USC Final Four bus from the airport. They were greeted at the door with customized USC popcorn bags.
It just feels like we're back at home in Columbia, it just feels so real. It does," Shanika Goggans, super fan said.
These are fans that live and breathe women gamecock basketball.
"We've gone to every game this year we could ... 36 hours ago we were just sitting at home wondering what we were going to do on Friday before watching the game and the email came and wow, I can't believe it. We're here, but what an experience and it's a once in a lifetime chance and this is our year," Rusty Bickford a self-proclaimed super fan said.
This chartered trip is open to season ticketholders and Gamecock Club members and even Dawn Staley's hair stylist made the cut.
"She is really a pony tail girl, but when it's game time she wants to be game time ready, so I'm here to make sure she's game time ready and to cheer the team on," Jessica Reese a fan and hair stylist said.
The energy is getting more electric by the minute in the Twin Cities.
Friday is when the third and final USC Gamecock charter arrives.
That'll include USC board of trustees and administrators. | https://www.wltx.com/article/news/local/south-carolina-fans-make-their-way-to-minneapolis-for-the-final-four-south-carolina/101-6b9254bd-4b7e-4da2-87d3-f788c8762215 | 2022-04-01T01:36:31Z |

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."
