FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Fresno City College's Department of Music is taking action to tap into their students' musical excellence, and a special delivery to the school helped make this possible.
On Thursday, crews rolled in a new Steinway piano to the school's music department.
The Division of Fine, Performing and Communication Arts announced the Music Department's achievement of the All-Steinway School status.
Along with the Steinway grand, the Piano Store delivered two Boston upright pianos -- all three handmade in the United States.
Music instructor Dr. Brandon Bascom says this opportunity will give students the best experience possible.
"Any of our students can access the finest instruments anywhere around, so some of the pianos we've replaced were over 100 years old - almost predating the school. So to have a brand new Steinway piano that any student that taking a music class can play on is amazing," Bascom said.
Heyner Oviedo is the owner of the Fresno Steinway Piano Gallery.
He said, "98% of professional concert pianists choose to play on this kind. Equipment matters. To be able to access the best pianos in the world, these kids will be able to express themselves and perform at the highest level."
There will be a special concert on Friday, May 20 in the OAB Auditorium to celebrate this milestone for the college.
This free concert will include the unveiling of the All-Steinway School plaque.

Oscars' guests and viewers are still reeling over Will Smith's surprising and infamous onstage slap of comedian Chris Rock, who joked about Jada Pinkett Smith's hair. Shortly after, Smith went onstage to accept the Best Actor Oscar for his role in King Richard.
Will Packer, producer of the Academy Award, ceremony told the ABC News show Good Morning America that Los Angeles police officers were ready to arrest Will Smith if Rock wanted to press charges.
"They were saying, 'This is battery.' That was the word they used in that moment," Packer told T.J. Holmes, in an exclusive interview that was teased during ABC's World News Tonight. "They said, 'We will go get him. We are prepared. We will go get him right now. You can press charges. We can arrest him. They were laying out the options. And as they were talking, Chris was, he was being very dismissive of those options. He was like, 'No, I'm fine.' He was like, 'no, no, no.' And even to the point where I said, 'Rock, let them finish.'"
In the clip, Packer said after the officers finished laying out what Rock's options were, "they said, 'Would you like us to take any action? And he said no.'"
Packer also said he did not speak to Smith at all on Oscar night. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences released a statement saying Smith was asked to leave the ceremony and refused.
In his acceptance speech, Smith apologized to the Academy and his fellow nominees for the incident, but not Rock. On Instagram the following day, Smith wrote that he was embarrassed by his behavior and told Rock he was sorry. Still, the Academy began disciplinary proceedings against Smith-- which could include "suspension, expulsion, or other sanctions permitted."
SAG-AFTRA is also weighing sanctions against Smith.
On Wednesday night, Rock was onstage in Boston with a new comedy routine. He didn't say much about the slap. "I'm still kind of processing what happened," he said, adding that at some point he will talk about it "and it will be serious and funny."

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

Rain slows Augusta Women's Amateur as no one left under par
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.

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Firefighters from across the state took part in an active shooter training session in Fresno Thursday.
The simulation was part of the annual California Officer Training Symposium that welcomes nearly 500 fire service professionals to the downtown area.
A special training session offered firefighters a chance to sharpen their skills while learning how to better handle an active shooter scenario.
"We have anywhere from volunteers from Madera County all up the way to the Santa Monica Fire Department. The skill level and knowledge level is across the board and everyone is taking something from these classes. It's a really good training," Fresno Fire Dept. Batt. Chief Chad Tucker said.
Firefighters and first responders ran through various drills inside the former Fresno Bee building in what to do in the event of an actual emergency situation.
Distracting lights and sounds, as well as people made up to look injured were all part of the hands-on training that allows crews to also get a better idea of how to interact with law enforcement when a gunman is on the loose.
"Those guys will go in and attempt to make contact with the shooter and then the Fire Department will come in, make patient contact and try to get the patients out to a safe location," Tucker said.
This was the first time in almost three years crews were able to get together and participate in this special training since the pandemic began.

From the market! Almost four months after Jojo Siva and Kylie Prue announced the breakup of their whirlwind romance, the Dance Moms graduate has left.
“I was going to erase my entire biography, but I just put a lock [emoji],” said 18—year-old Siva on Wednesday, March 30, in an interview with the podcast “Rachel Uncensored”, revealing her new romantic status. “We are not alone. I say “we” because it’s me and my multiple personalities inside me. …I’m not alone and I don’t want to communicate. No, I’m a loyal lady.
The Nebraska native continued, “Look, I’ve been all over the block, tried a lot, learned a lot, and I’m very, very, very happy where I am now.”
Although Siva has not revealed the identity of her new love, she told host Rachel Ballinger that she is “happy” and that’s “all that matters.”
The finalist of the 30th season of “Dancing with the Stars” previously dated the 18-year-old for almost a year, until they broke up in November 2021.
“We officially broke up the morning I performed Prince Charming [with partner Jenna Johnson] on Dancing with the Stars,” she told us the following month. “It’s been a few weeks and it’s been tough, but we’re coping with it. …I would have handled it very differently [if I wasn’t on the show]. I just want [ed] time to be sad.”
The Siwas Dance Pop Revolution star added at the time, “And then I had this [time to grieve] and I thought, ‘I’m very lucky I don’t have so much of it right now.’ And I realized that I was upset that I felt that I could no longer be friends with Kai. And then I thought: “This is stupid.” We started to be friends, texting daily on Snapchat. We’ll be friends again.”
Siva, who publicly announced this in January 2021, continues to maintain a friendship with the Florida native, trying to figure out how to move on.
“I already said it once, I really want to have a cuddle buddy, because I really miss hugs,” the former dancer confessed to us at the People’s Choice Award ceremony in December 2021. “I’m not against this idea. [dating]. Obviously, I believe that life is life, and tonight I can meet someone I will fall in love with. And the next time I fall in love, you know, I don’t know, but until then I avoid dating for fun. I would only date if I was really serious.”
Siva also noted at the time that she was looking for “someone who genuinely loves me for who I am,” and was a supportive partner who “doesn’t want to change.” | https://www.somagnews.com/jojo-siva-reveals-shes-no-longer-single-after-breaking-up-with-kylie-prey-i-dont-want-to-communicate/ | 2022-04-01T01:37:33Z |
People who suffered from even mild cases of COVID-19 face an increased risk of being diagnosed with diabetes within a year of recovering from the illness, a new study reports.
Researchers found that people who had COVID-19 were about 40% more likely to develop diabetes within a year after recovering, compared to participants in a control group. The likelihood of developing diabetes grew if the patient suffered from a serious infection that led to hospitalization or a stay in intensive care.
"What's surprising is that it is happening in people with no prior risk factors for diabetes" before becoming infected with COVID-19, said Ziyad Al-Aly, the lead author of the study.
These latest findings add to a growing list of studies showing that people who suffered from COVID-19 are at risk of facing other long-term health problems. Those include heart and kidney ailments and chronic fatigue.
Al-Aly also helped lead the study that showed the prevalence of cardiac issues in people who survived COVID-19 infections.
This newest study, published Monday in the Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology journal, analyzed data from more than 180,000 patients from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
The study's authors compared patients who tested positive for COVID-19 and survived the illness for more than a month with more than 4 million other people who didn't contract COVID in the same period. This data was also compared with another 4.28 million patients who were treated at the VA in 2018 and 2019.
The paper states that around 1% to 2% of people who have been infected with COVID will develop diabetes as a result. That may seem like a small number, but nearly 80 million people in the U.S. have had COVID, Al-Aly told NPR — meaning 800,000 to 1.6 million people developing diabetes who might not have otherwise.
"That translates to a really significant number of people with new onset diabetes in the U.S. and many, many more around the world," Al-Aly said.
Nationwide, approximately 34 million people had diabetes pre-COVID, according to Jorge Moreno, an internal medicine physician at Yale University who didn't work on Al-Aly's study. Doctors expect roughly 1.5 million new people to be newly diagnosed with diabetes each year during normal times, he told NPR.
What to look out for
This study shows that as a nation, more attention needs to be paid to the long-term effects of COVID-19, Al-Aly said. More vigilance can start at the doctor's office.
"We need to start treating COVID as a risk factor for diabetes," Al-Aly said, adding that each person who has come down with the virus needs to be screened.
Moreno told NPR he believes this study will create more awareness among general practitioners and endocrinologists, like himself, to screen patients who have had COVID for diabetes and other complications.
Those who've had COVID should also be closely monitoring their health and changes in their body, Moreno said, and should seek help at the first sign of an issue. Major symptoms for diabetes include increased thirst, frequent urination (which is not influenced by how much liquid consumed) and blurry vision. Major weight fluctuations are also a sign.

Oldest U.S. active park ranger retires at 100
RICHMOND, Calif. (AP) - The nation´s oldest active park ranger is hanging up her Smokey hat at the age of 100.
Betty Reid Soskin retired Thursday after more than 15 years at the Rosie the Riveter/WWII Home Front National Historical Park in Richmond, California, the National Park Service announced.
Soskin "spent her last day providing an interpretive program to the public and visiting with coworkers," a Park Service statement said.
She led tours at the park and museum honoring the women who worked in factories during wartime and shared her own experience as a Black woman during the conflict. She worked for the U.S. Air Force in 1942 but quit after learning that "she was employed only because her superiors believed she was white," according to a Park Service biography.
"Being a primary source in the sharing ofthat history - my history - and giving shape to a new national park has been exciting and fulfilling," Soskin said in the Park Service statement. "It has proven to bring meaning to my final years."
Soskin won a temporary Park Service position at the age of 84 and became a permanent Park Service employee in 2011. She celebrated her 100th birthday last September.

"Betty has made a profound impact on the National Park Service and the way we carry out our mission," Director Chuck Sams said. "Her efforts remind us that we must seek out and give space for all perspectives so that we can tell a more full and inclusive history of our nation."
Soskin was born Betty Charbonnet in Detroit in 1921 but recalled surviving the devastating Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 while living with her Creole family in New Orleans, according to the Park Service biography.
Her family then moved to Oakland, California, and Soskin remained in the San Francisco Bay Area, where in 1945 she and her first husband founded one of the first Black-owned record stores in the area, the biography said.
She also was a civil rights activist and took part in meetings to develop a general management plan for the Home Front park. She has received several honors.
She was named California Woman of the Year in 1995.
In 2015, Soskin received a presidential coin from President Barack Obama after she lit the National Christmas tree at the White House.
In June 2016, she was awakened in her home by a robber who punched her repeatedly in the face, dragged her out of her bedroom and beat her before making off with the coin and other items. Soskin, then 94, recovered and returned to work just weeks after the attack. The coin was replaced.
Soskin also was honored with entry into the Congressional Record. Glamour Magazine named her woman of the year in 2018.

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

For the Bangtan Sonyeondan members, the fame they have gained has also attracted a lot of trolls and haters. Here’s how Jungkook experienced it recently, responding to his fans’ Instagram posts. The BTS participant demonstrated how to react calmly to haters.
BTS’s Jungkook recently had to deal with haters. The artist was responding to comments from his fans on Instagram when an unpleasant message caught his attention. I don’t hesitate a bit to respond to this message of hate.
Both BTS and ARMY were constantly confronted with hate messages from anti, trolls or haters. Sometimes it’s hard for fans to react without the anger of the moment. Although BTS members sometimes choose to ignore uncomfortable comments, sometimes they teach how to react calmly and gracefully.
JUNGKOOK GOT A HATEFUL MESSAGE IN HIS IG STORIES
BTS’s Jungkook is currently undergoing mandatory quarantine after testing positive for Covid-19. The young man took advantage of the quarantine to live with his fans through social media, so in Instagram stories he asked to recommend movies to cope with the break.
Thousands of ARMYs have sent their recommendations, as well as support comments and questions about the idol. However, among these questions, a hate comment leaked out, to which Jungkook did not hesitate to respond.
An Instagram user decided to send a malicious comment. In response to Jungkook ‘s request for recommendations , Hayter wrote: “Are you bored? Eat dog poop. The BTS member’s response surprised his fans: through a sound with a completely black screen, he said, “Aren’t your words too harsh? Hehe hehe, if you make a lump with chocolate cake (Korean sweets), it will have a similar shape.”
HOW DID THE ARMY RESPOND TO JEONGKOOK’S HATRED?
ARMY couldn’t hide their annoyance after seeing the message that Jungkook received from BTS. Soon they took to social media to talk about how rude this comment was, as well as that it was not true. Some even wanted Hayter to apologize for the idol, as he is recovering.
It was recently announced that J-Hope from BTS is free from COVID and went to Las Vegas to meet BTS at the Grammy Awards ceremony. | https://www.somagnews.com/jungkook-from-bts-taught-army-how-to-react-to-haters/ | 2022-04-01T01:37:40Z |
This is 66: Novelist Stephanie Gangi Responds to The Oldster Magazine Questionnaire
"I’ve gained confidence in my chosen vocation, gained trust in my close relationships, realized that fewer possibilities give me laser focus on what is actual."
From the time I was 10, I’ve been obsessed with what it means to grow older. I’m curious about what it means to others, of all ages, and so I invite them to take “The Oldster Magazine Questionnaire.”
Here, poet, essayist, and fiction writer Stephanie Gangi responds. - Sari Botton
How old are you?
I just turned 66. 66! Close to the mark of the devil, sigh.
Is there another age you associate with yourself in your mind? If so, what is it? And why, do you think?
I can clearly see myself at 22, and then in my late 40s, and thanks to my conscious presence, I see me at my current age. So I associate myself with 22, 46, and whatever age I am at the moment, which, I guess I have to go with it, is 66.
I don’t think I feel any one age on the inside, I just feel like me, all the ages of me finally integrated.
Do you feel old for your age? Young for your age? Just right? Are you in step with your peers?
Not at all! I don’t think I feel any one age on the inside, I just feel like me, all the ages of me finally integrated. Or maybe not. I’ll let you know when I’m in my 80s since I seem to be using 20-year increments as touchstones. As far as my peers, I think I’ve gravitated (and cultivated) relationships with like-minded human beings. Having said that, I’ve been through a bit, who hasn’t, and that has given me a singular outlook, and it must be said, wisdom. So no, not “in step,” more like “alongside.”
What do you like about being your age?
What I like about being my age is the “my” part. My current version of me is still open and curious, still learning and growing, still going forth with interest and enthusiasm. That is part of who I am, and what better way to face the foreshortened future! Also, I feel very comfortable with assessing and deciding, whether it’s buying a new set of sheets or taking a new friendship to the next level (or not).
What is difficult about being your age?
It’s exhausting being on the receiving end of clichéd assumptions and expectations about my viability, my power and the place I’ve earned (and will not give up) in society. It’s difficult being devalued with a glance, even by people one doesn’t respect.
On a more personal note, it’s difficult (but imperative) to release expectations and embrace and cherish reality, the dark and the light of it. I assumed I’d be in a Nancy Meyers house on the ocean by now, with a bunch of grandkids making a mess and a much-younger second husband. I’m single, in a NYC apartment, one daughter on the west coast, one in Brooklyn, no grandkids and yet … this is where I am and what I have, which is, I don’t know how to say it … real. Very real and absolutely mine. Not what I “pictured,” but what a glorious youthful delusion, to make a “picture” of the future and believe it will happen.
It’s exhausting being on the receiving end of clichéd assumptions and expectations about my viability, my power and the place I’ve earned (and will not give up) in society. It’s difficult being devalued with a glance, even by people one doesn’t respect.
What is surprising about being your age, or different from what you expected, based on what you were told?
Ha. I assumed that by age 60 I’d have shrunk in size and shrouded myself in head-to-toe black and become an angry crone waving a cane at the world. I do have one little glimmer of that—I’ve turned into one of those upper west side NYC ladies hollering at cars when I have the right of way.
What has aging given you? Taken away from you?
Obviously, aging takes away possibilities. The runway is too short for me to become a neurosurgeon or a sculptor or a rock star. On the other hand, I’ve gained confidence in my chosen vocation, gained trust in my close relationships, realized that fewer possibilities give me laser focus on what is actual. That’s enormously freeing in the way that constraint sometimes is.
How has getting older affected your sense of yourself, or your identity?
Oh, I’ve learned to really see myself. I’ve learned to practice the good parts of my identity and work on dialing down the parts I’m not so in love with. I am so much more intentional as I set forth each day. I’m more conscious of my words and actions and their impact on others. I’m trying to be kinder. Really!
I assumed I’d be in a Nancy Meyers house on the ocean by now, with a bunch of grandkids making a mess and a much-younger second husband. I’m single, in a NYC apartment, one daughter on the west coast, one in Brooklyn, no grandkids and yet …
What are some age-related milestones you are looking forward to? Or ones you “missed,” and might try to reach later, off-schedule, according to our culture and its expectations?
This is an easy question. My debut novel was published when I was 60, so the whole writing life is something I “missed” for all the previous years. I had a lot, family and home and work, but I’d not valued my first love, writing. After trauma and turmoil and upheavals and heartbreak, I fell in love with it again and went for it in a major way. I’ve now just published novel #2, Carry the Dog (at age 65), and a dozen essays and short stories and poems and I’m working on novel #3. I course-corrected with a vengeance in my late 50s, thank goodness. As I mentioned earlier, I’ve released expectations around “milestones,” and couldn’t care less what the expectations of the culture are! That’s because I’m an oldster! Hooray!
What has been your favorite age so far, and why? Would you go back to this age if you could?
I have one or two regrets but I am an expert at compartmentalizing them or denying that they exist. I don’t dwell on what might have been. But. If I were in a rom-com fantasy, maybe I would go back to my late twenties. I’d prioritize writing over playing sidekick in a marriage. Over everything except my daughters.
Is there someone who is older than you, who makes growing older inspiring to you? Who is your aging idol and why?
Nah. I am very focused on becoming my own version of who I admire and respect. That sounds kind of self-absorbed? I spent many years being “other-absorbed” so I’m owning my answer. Having said that, I think Patti Smith, Diane Keaton and Hillary Clinton are killing it.

What aging-related adjustments have you recently made, style-wise, beauty-wise, health-wise?
I recently wore a red satin jacket to an event and I did feel a bit conspicuous; what I’m saying is I go for pulled-together but toned-down. I still love jeans and a great shirt and boots, a little bit rock and roll (which comes out in Carry the Dog!). For this same event I put some shiny shadow on my eyelids and “glow” on all the places shown to me by one of the Jenner girls on a YouTube thing. I have stopped coloring my hair. It was blonde and now it’s whitish blonde so I’m saving a lot of NYC-salon money! I spend a fair amount of time trying to look like I am not trying at all.
What’s an aging-related adjustment you refuse to make, and why?
I will never ever become more conservative in my thinking, a common cliché about getting older. If anything, I’ve gotten more progressive, more liberal, more open-minded. I refuse to grouse about music and fashion. I’m not tuning in to the oldies radio stations. I am practically allergic to nostalgia. I wrote an entire novel called “The Next,” not “The Past.”
What’s your philosophy on celebrating birthdays as an adult? How do you celebrate yours?
Eh, my birthday is a couple of days before Christmas so I can’t avoid gatherings, and it’s good that I’m still here, relatively healthy, relatively happy, doing what I love, surrounded by excellent friends and brilliant, loving daughters, in a wondrous city. I’m pretty much stoked to celebrate anything, to be honest. | https://oldster.substack.com/p/this-is-66-novelist-stephanie-gangi | 2022-04-01T01:37:40Z |

He was shot in the hand — and watched as his friend, Angasha Sharras, died when a bullet struck him in the head.
Now Brian Wollery says he again fears the shooter — whose murder conviction was tossed this week by a panel of state Appellate Division judges who said the Bronx District Attorney’s office should not have taken six years to bring the suspect to trial.
“I’m devastated because this guy is really a bad person that they need to get off the street,” Wollery told the Daily News of the suspect, Mark McDonald, 43.
McDonald, who was sentenced to 23 years to life, was released from state prison this week. He is now in federal custody awaiting deportation to Jamaica.
“If he is deported he may become stronger, because the system in Jamaica is terrible,” said Wollery, 43.
Also fearful is Nathaniel Sherras, who is Angasha Sharras’ brother. ”There has to be a system set up, because I have to protect myself and my family,” Nathaniel Sherras said.
“I’m telling you that this guy is going to come back here,” Sherras told The News. “Deporting him to Jamaica is like letting him go free. He will come back.”
McDonald was charged in the Jan. 14, 2011 murder of Angasha Sharras, 29, near an afterhours club in the Williamsbridge section of the Bronx. The slain man was looking forward to the birth of a daughter when he was gunned down.
Nathaniel Sharras says his brother died because he stood up to McDonald, who had been extorting him “to supply him with weed and money.”
“It came to a point where my brother said, ‘This isn’t working out,’” he said.
“My brother, being fearless, told him, ‘I’m not doing it anymore,’ and (McDonald) went and got a gun and that’s how my brother lost his life. My brother got up and said ‘I’ll be right back’ and I never saw him alive again.”
Wollery said he tried to stop the shooting.
“I lunged for the guy, but he was already in a firing motion,” he recounted. “I was immediately in front of the gun, and both bullets went through my fingers and palm and hit Angasha on the left side of his head and in the neck.”
McDonald fled the scene, and was arrested several days later.
He was charged in 2011 with second-degree murder, first-degree assault and weapon possession during the term of former Bronx DA Robert Johnson. The case went to trial in Bronx Supreme Court in January 2017, about a year after the current DA Darcel Clark took office.
McDonald was convicted at a jury trial.
On Tuesday, the three-judge state Appellate Division panel overturned and dismissed the conviction because it found the DA had “no good cause” to violate McDonald’s constitutional right to a speedy trial for six years.
“This was a relatively simple case that did not warrant such an extraordinary delay in bringing defendant to trial,” the judges wrote.
In hearing after hearing from 2011 through July 2014, an assistant district attorney said he was “not ready” for trial, court filings show.
A new prosecutor was assigned and continued a similar pattern until the trial finally began in 2017.
“The reason it took the DA six years to try was because one DA retired and the other one had to start from scratch and cops had retired,” Nathaniel Sharras said. “Of course that’s frustrating to me.”
The DA’s office argued in court filings that the delay was immaterial since evidence of McDonald’s guilt was “overwhelming.” Prosecutors also said a key detective retired and a witness stopped cooperating. But the appeals panel rejected those arguments.
“The (DA’s office) made a mistake,” said Sharras’ sister, a 38-year-old city employee who requested her name not be used.
“But it’s the family who suffered the loss and is now once again a victim,” the sister said. “It’s very unfair. We’re not OK with it.”
The dead man’s sister said she’s furious that the DA’s office did not notify the family of the appellate court’s decision.
“It’s worrisome that he made it all the way to a release date without anyone contacting anyone in my family,” said the sister. “Isn’t it the DA’s office responsibility to keep us informed? I haven’t moved, and no phone numbers have changed.”
Patrice O’Shaughnessy, a spokeswoman for the DA’s office, did not respond to questions from The News Thursday.
Angasha Sharras was laid to rest at a cemetery in Valhalla, N.Y. He had been planning to start a truck shipping business.
“People loved and respected my brother,” Nathaniel Sharras said. “His daughter is now 10 or 11. He never got to see his daughter’s face.”
Sharras, 41, works as a porter at a nursing home. He said the events around his brother’s death seem like yesterday.
“The only person I needed was him and the only person he needed was me,” he said. “That’s how close we were.”
Wollery still suffers from the physical injuries caused by the shooting.
“The bullets severed my ring finger and pinkie finger on my right hand,” he said. “Just picturing that sight at the moment right now is causing me a lot of grief.”
“I gave my statement bluntly and I did what I could to help the DA’s office. I had seen him several times before in the vicinity. He was a known figure.”
Now he wonders if having testified against McDonald again puts him in danger.
“Why did they overturn such a case that involved such a gruesome murder?” Wollery asked. “I’m fearing for my family’s life because they assured me that this guy would be in prison for 23 years.” | https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/ny-brother-murder-victim-bronx-appeal-mark-mcdonald-angasha-sharras-20220401-xtvkf5nqrvhjnmezqnkm3bv72u-story.html | 2022-04-01T01:37:41Z |

Baylor senior forward NaLyssa Smith notched another first-team All-America honor as she was tabbed as such by the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association on Thursday.
The All-America selection was the seventh of the season for Smith. She was also a first-team pick by Sports Illustrated, The Athletic, the Associated Press, the USBWA and the John R. Wooden Award. Earlier Thursday, Smith was named a Senior CLASS Award second-team All-American.
Smith led Baylor to its 12th consecutive Big 12 regular-season title and a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament. She became one of seven Bears to reach the 2,000-point, 1,000-rebound mark in her career.
Smith averaged 22.5 points, 11.5 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.2 blocks per game during the regular season. Her 25 double-doubles this year set a single-season Baylor record. | https://wacotrib.com/sports/college/baylor/baylors-smith-named-wbca-first-team-all-american/article_2619de90-b157-11ec-9349-f743358e3ef8.html | 2022-04-01T01:37:41Z |
Bruce Willis is being showered with love and support after being diagnosed with aphasia. Some of the 67-year-old actor's closest colleagues and friends -- from Haley Joel Osment, Sir Anthony Hopkins and Sylvester Stallone to John Travolta, Lucy Liu and Maria Shriver -- posted touching tributes and throwback photos wishing him the best following his long and successful career in Hollywood.
Osment, the former child star who appeared opposite Willis in the 1999 thriller The Sixth Sense, said he struggled to find the right words for someone he's looked up to for so long, before paying homage to the actor on Instagram.
"He's a true legend who has enriched all of our lives with a singular career that spans nearly half a century," Osment wrote in part. "I am so grateful for what I got to witness firsthand, and for the enormous body of work he built for us to enjoy for years and years to come. I just wanted to express the respect and deep admiration I have for Bruce and his family as they move forward with the courage and high spirits that have always defined them."
M. Night Shyamalan, who directed The Sixth Sense, took to Twitter to send Willis "all my love and respect." He added, "I know his wonderful family is surrounding him with support and strength. He will always be that hero on that poster on my wall as [a] kid."
Hopkins on Instagram wrote, "Working with you was a special time in my life. My love and prayers are with you and your family."
Travolta shared, "Bruce and I became good friends when we shared 2 of our biggest hits together, Pulp Fiction and Look Who’s Talking. Years later he said to me, 'John, I just want you to know that when something good happens to you I feel like it’s happening to me.' That’s how generous a soul he is. I love you Bruce."
Sarah Paulson, who starred alongside Willis in Glass, commented on Rumer Willis' Instagram post, saying, "He was such an incredible acting partner to me, and is the loveliest, most gentle and hilarious man. He reigns supreme in my book."
Willis' wife, Emma, ex-wife, Demi Moore, and daughters, Rumer, Scout, Tallulah, Mabel and Evelyn, shared a joint statement on his recent diagnosis with aphasia.
"As a family we wanted to share that our beloved Bruce has been experiencing some health issues and has recently been diagnosed with aphasia, which is impacting his cognitive abilities," the statement read. "As a result of this and with much consideration Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him."
The family added, "This is a really challenging time for our family and we are so appreciative of your continued love, compassion and support. We are moving through this as a strong family unit, and wanted to bring his fans in because we know how much he means to you, as you do to him."

CDC: Pandemic Taking Toll On Teen Mental Health
NEW YORK (AP) – New research says more than 4 in 10 U.S. high school students said they felt persistently sad or hopeless during the pandemic.
The findings support earlier warnings that pandemic isolation from school closures and lack of social gatherings has taken a toll on young people’s mental health.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released the reports Thursday.
They’re based on anonymous online surveys of about 7,700 public and private high school students from 128 schools during the first six months of 2021.
It is based on a similar survey the CDC conducts every other year in schools. | https://www.kglonews.com/cdc-pandemic-taking-toll-on-teen-mental-health/ | 2022-04-01T01:37:40Z |
The Biden administration has announced a handful of new policies and initiatives intended to make life easier for transgender Americans, even as Republican-led states around the country pass legislation targeting transgender, nonbinary, and gender-variant individuals.
Coinciding with the celebration of the Transgender Day of Visibility on Thursday, some of the new changes include the introduction of a new “X” gender marker on U.S. passport applications, set to take effect on April 11, and new Transportation Security Administration scanners that are gender-neutral, according to The Associated Press.
Twenty-one U.S. states and the District of Columbia currently offer gender-neutral options on official identification, including driver’s licenses.
Fifteen countries around the world — Argentina, Austria, Australia, Canada, Colombia, Denmark, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Malta, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Pakistan, India and Nepal — currently offer a third gender or gender-neutral option on passports.
Last October, Naval veteran and intersex advocate Dana Zzyym received the first-ever U.S. passport with a gender-neutral “X” marker following a six-year battle to obtain a passport reflecting their correct gender identity.
Introducing the “X” marker, like the one obtained by Zzyym, will bring a measure of consistency for transgender, nonbinary or intersex individuals who live in the 22 U.S. jurisdictions where nonbinary gender markers on licenses are available, allowing them to have a passport that matches their licenses, state identification cards, and — in most of those jurisdictions — vital documents such as birth certificates.
Advocates hope that providing that consistency will prevent transgender, nonbinary and intersex individuals from being “outed” against their will or experiencing discrimination or harassment that can result when they are forced to submit various forms of documentation that either don’t match each other or don’t match the person’s gender identity and expression.
Visitors to the White House will soon also be able to select an “X” gender marker option in the White House Worker and Visitor Entry System, which is used to conduct screening background checks for visitors to the executive mansion. This will make things easier for transgender or nonbinary who have official business with the White House.
Amy Schneider, the first transgender Jeopardy! champion, who enjoyed the second-longest streak of wins in the program’s history, will be one of these visitors to the White House on Thursday, when she’s slated to meet with second gentleman Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris.
By introducing gender-neutral scanners at airports, removing gender from the identity verification process, and adding the “X” marker option to TSA Pre-Check, the Biden administration hopes to resolve what has become a thorny issue when TSA employees “flag” transgender individuals because their gender expression either does not match the gender on their identification or because a person’s body does not match the machine’s expectations of what a “male” or “female” body should look like. This has led some transgender or nonbinary people to be detained by TSA or blocked from traveling unless they expose themselves or show their genitals to TSA employees.
“These updates to passports and TSA policy will make it safer for transgender, nonbinary, and intersex members of our community to travel and to walk through everyday life,” Sarah Kate Ellis, the president and CEO of GLAAD, said in a statement. “Everyone deserves the right to have identity documents that reflect who they are, and to go through airport security without facing harassment and public humiliation. At a time when so many state legislatures are attacking our community, it’s heartening to have federal leadership take so much action to support LGBTQ Americans, especially trans youth.”
The Biden administration has also announced upcoming changes to the Social Security system to allow transgender people to more easily access benefits they’ve earned throughout their lives, including prior to transitioning; new initiatives at the Department of Education to support inclusive school environments; initiatives at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to protect transgender and nonbinary workers from discrimination; the launch of a new federals-run mental health resource for LGBTQ youth; and additional funding to add sexual orientation and gender identity questions to U.S. Census surveys.
President Biden will speak directly to transgender youth in a video address, hoping to assuage their anxiety or feelings of isolation by assuring them of federal support, even as state lawmakers introduce bills to restrict youths’ ability to play sports or access gender-affirming medical care.
Also on Thursday, second gentleman Doug Emhoff, along with Admiral Rachel Levine, the assistant secretary for health at the Department of Health and Human Services, will host a conversation with transgender children and their parents at the White House.
Meanwhile, Education Secretary Miguel Cardona is meeting with LGBTQ students in Florida following passage of a law barring instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in primary grades, focusing on the students’ experiences in schools and support for mental health and well-being.
Republicans have argued that the law protects young children from being exposed to topics better left for their parents to address at home. LGBTQ advocates are skeptical that the law will be limited to just primary grades, and will, when actually implemented, be used to punish or suppress the speech of older LGBTQ students or erase LGBTQ identity from schools altogether.
The White House also announced that the Department of Health and Human Services will be the first agency to fly a Trans Pride flag.
In a proclamation issued on Wednesday evening, Biden marked the Transgender Day of Visibility by recognizing the progress that the transgender community has enjoyed in recent years due to various policies or court decisions, while also calling attention to the obstacles they continue to face.
“On this day and every day, we recognize the resilience, strength, and joy of transgender, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming people,” Biden said. “We celebrate the activism and determination that have fueled the fight for transgender equality. We acknowledge the adversity and discrimination that the transgender community continues to face across our Nation and around the world.
“Visibility matters, and so many transgender, nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming Americans are thriving,” he added. “Like never before, they are sharing their stories in books and magazines; breaking glass ceilings of representation on television and movie screens; enlisting — once again — to serve proudly and openly in our military; getting elected and making policy at every level of government; and running businesses, curing diseases, and serving our communities in countless other ways.
“Despite this progress, transgender Americans continue to face discrimination, harassment, and barriers to opportunity. Transgender women and girls — especially transgender women and girls of color — continue to face epidemic levels of violence, and 2021 marked the deadliest year on record for transgender Americans. Each of these lives lost was precious. Each of them deserved freedom, justice, and joy. We must honor their lives with action by advancing equity and civil rights for all transgender people.
“In the past year, hundreds of anti-transgender bills in States were proposed across America, most of them targeting transgender kids. The onslaught has continued this year. These bills are wrong.
“Efforts to criminalize supportive medical care for transgender kids, to ban transgender children from playing sports, and to outlaw discussing LGBTQI+ people in schools undermine their humanity and corrode our Nation’s values. Studies have shown that these political attacks are damaging to the mental health and well-being of transgender youth, putting children and their families at greater risk of bullying and discrimination. My entire Administration is committed to ensuring that transgender people enjoy the freedom and equality that are promised to everyone in America.”
That commitment seemed apparent on Thursday, when the Justice Department issued a letter to all state attorneys general reminding them of constitutional and statutory provisions that protect transgender youth against discrimination, including trans youth who seek out gender-affirming care.
The letter warns that policies or laws blocking medical care may infringe on individuals’ right to due process and equal protection under the law, and run afoul of Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act, Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972, the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
“The Department of Justice is committed to ensuring that all children are able to live free from discrimination, abuse and harassment,” Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke, of the department’s Civil Rights Division, said in a statement. “Today’s letter reaffirms state and local officials’ obligation to ensure that their laws and policies do not undermine or harm the health and safety of children, regardless of a child’s gender identity.”

The high was reached Tuesday when the statewide average was just a shade under $5.92 a gallon for regular. The average dropped to just under $5.90 on Thursday, according to AAA.com.
Motorists filling their tanks at any of the four stations at Baker, a common stop between Las Vegas and Southern California, were paying $6.29 to $6.49 a gallon on Thursday.
The average price Thursday in Los Angles was $6.04.
In Nevada, the average price on Thursday was $5.23 and a half cent on Thursday. In Clark County, the average was just below $5.34 a gallon.

Aye Write has Chris Tarrant, Celia Imrie and more
Organisers of Glasgow’s Aye Write book festival have launched their star-studded programme of events, which will run across three weekends this spring, between 6-22 May.
Heralding its return to live events in venues across the city, the Aye Write line-up is as eclectic and exciting as ever.
Guests, amongst many others, include:
Olivier Award-winning actress and bestselling author Celia Imrie on her most recent novel Orphans of the Storm; veteran BBC journalist Justin Webb with his memoir The Gift of a Radio; Rapper, social commentator and author of The Social Distance Between Us, Darren McGarvey; Channel 4 news presenter Symeon Brown with Get Rich or Lie Trying; and former Radio 1 DJ Annie Macmanus with her bestselling novel Mother Mother.
TV legend Chris Tarrant joins the festival cast this year, sharing stories from his fifty years (so far!) in the business, as does TikTok sensation, Wellerman singer and author of The Book of Sea Shanties, Nathan Evans.
The annual Glasgow bookish extravaganza is produced by Glasgow Life, one of Scotland’s largest charities whose mission is to inspire every citizen and visitor to become engaged and active in a city globally renowned for culture and sport. The festivals are supported by The National Lottery through Creative Scotland, the public body that supports the arts, screen and creative industries across Scotland.
Aye Write will this year be held predominantly in person, not only at the Mitchell Library, but also across other city venues, including Glasgow’s Royal Concert Hall and Tramway. Following the success though of online events in 2021, some digital events will continue to feature in this year’s programme, headlined by Damon Galgut, winner of last year’s Booker Prize for The Promise, and sponsored by Rathbones Folio Prize.
Running over three consecutive weekends, Fri 6-Sun 8, Thurs 12-Sun 15 and Thurs 19-Sun 22 May, the festival this year boasts more than two-hundred author talks and panel events, with speakers from all walks of life, including: stars of stage and screen, celebrated journalists, veteran broadcasters, social commentators, politicians, musicians, new literary voices and stalwarts of Scottish literature, historians, archaeologists, explorers and naturalists. And many more besides.
This year’s Aye Write programme is an inspiring reflection of our world today as we emerge from the global pandemic and are able to reflect upon how it has changed us and our world – sometimes for the worse; often for the better.
Professor Devi Sridhar and Jason Leitch out a vision for how we can better protect ourselves from the inevitable health crises to come, and writer, critic and playwright Ben Aitken explores, alongside philosopher and traveller Will Buckingham, the pandemic and its unexpected and life-affirming connections as well as its enforced separations.
That notion of ‘connection’ is a powerful and pervasive one this year, and not least when set in the context of mental health. BAFTA and Emmy award-winning writer of Succession Georgia Pritchett, whose credits include Veep, Have I Got News for You, Smack the Pony, Miranda and The Thick of It, to name but a few, knows a thing or two about anxiety, and shares her bestselling memoir My Mess is a bit of a Life.
Continuing the theme of powerful female stories, outspoken MP Jess Phillips gives a typically funny and honest insight into the drama of Westminster and life as an MP beyond that most public of stages.
Taking to the Aye Write stage, too, is Louise Welsh, a professor of creative writing at the University of Glasgow whose most recent novel The Second Cut is the long-awaited sequel to her award-winning The Cutting Room. She shares the programme with emerging literary talents Kenny Boyle and Claire Alexander, and writer and poet Leela Soma, whose brainchild The Kavya Prize has just been launched in association with the University of Glasgow, seeking to encourage and celebrate published work and new writing by Scotland’s ethnically diverse communities. The winner of the prize will be announced at Aye Write.
Scottish crime-writing royalty will also be in attendance in the form of favourites Ian Rankin, Val McDermid, Chris Brookmyre and Marisa Haetzman as Ambrose Parry, Stuart MacBride, Brian McGilloway, Alex Gray and Douglas Skelton.
And shedding light on crimes in the real world are Nazir Afzal, the Chief Prosecutor who was at the forefront of the British legal system for decades; Kevin Maxwell, who tells his story of being a gay, black man and a police officer, in Forced Out; and Channel 4 news presenter Symeon Brown with his Get Rich or Lie Trying, which lifts the lid on the social media influencer culture, exposing the murk that lies beneath the filtered selfies and gleaming smiles.
Producing plenty of genuine smiles and lots of giggles, though, will be Wee Write, the book festival for children and young people, which runs at the earlier time of 25-30 April, and which this year offers delights for all ages, including: Harry Potter cover illustrator Jonny Duddle, celebrating 25 years of Harry Potter Magic; Horrid Henry author Francesca Simon and Dennis the Menace illustrator Steve May with their new collaboration, Two Terrible Vikings and Grunt the Berserker; a draw-off event with author-illustrators Tom Morgan Jones and Sophie Henn; and a very special meet-and-greet and storytelling session with children’s favourite The Gruffalo.
Aye Write programmer, Bob McDevitt, said: ‘There is no doubt in our minds that Glasgow is raring to get going with this year’s Aye Write festival. It’s been a long two years since we were last allowed to gather at venues like the fabulous Mitchell Library to talk about the books we love – and the books we don’t yet know we love – with those who have ploughed their hearts and souls into creating them. That is a special and unique opportunity, and one that we know our Glasgow audiences relish.
‘I’m especially inspired, this year, by the mix of authors: those long-established and much-acclaimed; those who are just coming into our field of vision; those with their own personal stories to tell; and those whose mission it is to tell the stories of others.
‘Storytelling is what we’re all about here at Aye Write, and we hope that our packed 2022 programme will be the next compelling chapter in our very own story.’
Wee Write programmer, Fiona Haddow, said: ‘What could cheer us more this spring than finally being able to welcome back to live events Glasgow’s youngest book fans, and their families! We’re beyond excited to see the grins on little (and not so little) faces as they get the chance to share their love of books, and all the joy they bring, with their families, friends, and with other little bookworms.
‘We’re thrilled to share in the celebrations of 25 years of Harry Potter Magic, and are honoured to be able to introduce so many Gruffalo fans to their hero. In fact, I think we’re already feeling a little star struck ourselves!’
The full programmes are available now on the Aye Write website.

Man in his 90s dies after `gas explosion´
A man in his 90s has died and homes have been left without power after reports of a gas explosion in Manchester.
Emergency services were called to Brownley Road in Wythenshawe at about 6.30pm on Thursday and the man was found dead inside a property, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said.
A number of houses were evacuated and nearby roads were closed, while several properties were without power.
Matt Muncaster, 27, who lives close to where the explosion took place, tried to help with fellow neighbours before firefighters arrived.
“The scene was awful, (there were) massive amounts of smoke almost instantly,” he said.
“Me and a neighbour tried to kick the door down to try and get in to see if the resident was home but we couldn’t get in. However the fire service managed to get into the house about five minutes after.”
A spokesman for Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service said: “At around 6.30pm on 31 March, crews were called to reports of a fire at a domestic property on Brownley Road in Manchester.
“Four fire engines from Bolton North, Cheadle, Wythenshawe and Stockport stations, and the Technical Rescue Unit from Ashton attended.
“Firefighters assessed the scene and are using breathing apparatus and hose reels to control the fire and make the scene safe.
“Crews are working with colleagues from Greater Manchester Police and North West Ambulance Service and are currently still on the scene.”
GMP said it is carrying out investigations and officers are supporting the dead man’s family.
The force said the scene was made safe at about 8pm. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-10674545/Man-90s-dies-gas-explosion.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-04-01T01:37:45Z |
5-Star Center Yohan Traore Commits to Auburn After Decommitting from LSU
April 1, 2022One of the biggest remaining pieces in the 2022 recruiting class came off the board Thursday after Yohan Traore committed to Auburn, per Joe Tipton of On3.com.
"I like Bruce Pearl," Traore said. "I think he's a great coach with experience with players at the 4 position, like Chuma Okeke, Isaac Okoro, JT Thor, and this year, Jabari [Smith] so I think they will be able to develop my game.
"There was a family atmosphere [at Auburn]. The players were cool too. Every day they're going to push me to be the best. I think it's going to be a great place and I trust the coaches."
The 6'10" big man is the No. 15 overall player and No. 4 center in the country, per 247Sports' composite rankings.
In March, LSU fired head coach Will Wade after the NCAA issued the school a notice of allegations. A few weeks later, the Tigers began witnessing the fallout when Traore told On3's Joe Tipton he was decommitting from the school.
"Due to the recent changes within the basketball program, my family and I have decided to reopen my recruitment," he said. "Looking forward to finding a new place I can call home."
That set off a late frenzy to secure his commitment.
After having evaluated Traore, 247Sports' Brandon Jenkins called him a "skilled, efficient, and productive big man with a good natural frame":
"His efficiency comes in how he generally plays within himself offensively and does what is asked of him on the floor. Traore displays a natural shooting touch not only inside but out to 15 feet, and he always looks [to] dunk everything he possibly can while operating inside or in the dunker spot. He also has great hands, is a solid rebounder, and runs the floor with purpose. Traore has the size, mobility, and skill as a big man that high major guards would love to play with."
Traore fits the profile of a modern-day center. Not only does he have the size to bang inside, but he also possesses the athleticism you'd associate with a smaller forward. Somebody who's nearly 7'0" tall shouldn't really be able to do this:
FIBA @FIBAAll across the Mediterranean! Yohan Traore with the 🌪️ coast-to-coast finish!<a href="https://twitter.com/ffbasketball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ffbasketball</a> 🇫🇷 <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/FIBAU16Europe?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#FIBAU16Europe</a><br><br>📺 <a href="https://t.co/DJ48CAYwVr">https://t.co/DJ48CAYwVr</a><br>📝 <a href="https://t.co/yFsW7zLxuN">https://t.co/yFsW7zLxuN</a> <a href="https://t.co/RLoyZWR5O9">pic.twitter.com/RLoyZWR5O9</a>
While not a complete unknown on the recruiting circuit, Traore's true talent level was somewhat muddled because he had been balling out in France. Upon arriving in the United States, he didn't wait long to make an impression.
Traore turned heads in July with Dream Vision at the Adidas 3SSB in Birmingham, Alabama, after averaging 19.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.4 blocks.
Eric Bossi of 247Sports wrote he was "likely the most consistently dominant performer of the entire four days in Alabama." The Athletic's CJ Moore also named him as his player of the tournament, adding that "not many people even knew who this dude was a few months ago."
As a result of his performance, Traore climbed from 67th to ninth in 247Sports' composite rankings. His stock was seemingly only going to go up as he showcased his talent at Dream City Christian.
Traore should immediately become a key player for the Tigers upon joining the squad for the 2022-23 season and should provide plenty of highlights before he inevitably makes the jump to the next level.
And Auburn should be one of the top teams in college basketball, with 4-star small forward Chance Westry joining Traore in a very solid incoming recruiting class. | https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10012600-5-star-center-yohan-traore-commits-to-auburn-after-decommitting-from-lsu | 2022-04-01T01:37:47Z |
She takes it “piece by piece”! Kelly Clarkson is transforming her talk show.
The Kelly Clarkson show will replace the long-running Ellen DeGeneres show “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” on NBC at 3:00 p.m. ET timeslot. Ellen will leave the air on May 26 after 19 seasons. The show of the first American Idol winner is currently airing at 2:00 p.m. ET.
In its current form, the format of Clarkson’s Emmy-winning talk show of the same name suggests that the singer “Because of You” interviews famous guests, introduces ordinary people to fascinating stories, covers popular songs and plays games. In December 2020, the show was extended until 2023. The third season is currently underway.
In recent months, the co-host of the American Song Contest has undergone several major changes. On March 10, after seven years of marriage and two years of litigation, Clarkson finally settled the issue of divorce with Brandon Blackstock, with whom she has two children: River Rose, 7, and Remy, 5. Later that month, on Monday, March 28, she also officially changed her name to Kelly Brianne, according to court documents obtained by us, although she will still be called Kelly Clarkson professionally.
Applying for a name change in February, the Texas native gave the reason why she wanted to use her first name and patronymic. According to documents obtained by Us, she stated that the nickname “more fully reflects who I am.”
The voice coach previously spoke on her talk show about her concerns about how the divorce could affect her children.
“It’s terrible. There are so many difficult moments in it,” she said of her breakup with Blackstock in December 2020. — The most difficult thing for me is the children. This is the most difficult for me. I think as women, we’re trained… to take on all of this, and you can handle it, and you’re fine, but you’re worried about your kids.”
Both River Rose and Remy have appeared on the Kelly Clarkson show, including in a memorable moment in September 2021 when her youngest son interrupted Chris Martin’s singing of “Yellow” to tell his mom and the musician that he needed to go to the bathroom. | https://www.somagnews.com/kelly-clarkson-is-planning-a-complete-reworking-of-her-show-before-taking-on-the-role-of-ellen-degeneres-on-television/ | 2022-04-01T01:37:46Z |
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.koat.com/article/americans-health-care-concerns/39593902 | 2022-04-01T01:37:47Z |
TAMPA—Deny. Deny. Deny. Which makes Ron DeSantis the perfect Trump 2.0.
The Florida governor has disavowed any interest in running for president in 2024, calling the speculation “nonsense.” But straw polls show him closing in on Donald Trump, his ally and possible rival, for the Republican nomination.
Trump lies and obstructs, in and out of office. No. 45 hasn’t explicitly confirmed he’ll make a bid to become No. 47, toying and teasing during rallies over the past few months, laying down the foundation for another White House run whilst averting fundraising rules that would be triggered by a formal announcement. Since founding “Save America” in November, 2020, Trump has raised $124 million, according to FEC (Federal Election Commission) filings, ostensibly to promote GOP candidates in the midterm elections. But mostly to promote himself. No other ex-prez has ever come close.
That would be a formidable running start for Trump versus DeSantis. The governor, who blusters about wanting to make America over in Florida’s image — egad! — is arguably the most divisive politician in the United States right now, with apologies (not) to Sen. Ted Cruz. Loved and loathed, he’d replicated the policies of bullying and grousing that Trump elevated to manifesto for a party in abject thrall to its once-current-maybe-future leader.
De Santis is just as boorish as Trump — a few days ago, on a FOX-TV segment, describing Joe Biden as a “doddering, quasi-senile president.” As ready to double down on criticism, as he did earlier this week, when signing what’s known as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, which prohibits classroom instruction and discussion about sexual orientation and gender identity. Sneering at opponents he accuses of misrepresenting the legislation: “They’re doing it because they actually support having woke gender ideology in the first grade.”
Thing is, DeSantis, positioning himself on the cutting edge of American politics as wrought by Trump, as an unflagging cultural warrior for the red-meat base, is actually far superior at governance by cult. Trump failed to push through into law many of his imprimatur reactionary proposals; the bills never got to his desk. Or they were bills that Biden immediately revoked.
DeSantis, by comparison, is regarded, even by his enemies, as being in firm command of the legislative process. Which makes him a most alarming foe, should he take possession of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. This is a man who, unlike Trump, who had a tendency to bankrupt businesses, is a Harvard graduate who was an attorney with the Navy’s Judge Advocate General Corps at Guantanamo Bay and served in Iraq as legal adviser to SEAL Team One.
The “Don’t Say Gay’’ bill, actually House Bill 1557, has attracted a swell of approval, exploiting the fears of many parents that they’re being supplanted as moral avatars within the family by an indoctrinating radical left, particularly in the education system. Many parents, who do have the right to rear their kids as they see fit, are deeply troubled by the sharply escalating issue of gender identity that might confuse children … although it’s more accurate to say that kids who begin to question their gender assigned at birth are already feeling confused, maybe frightened, and often ashamed.
A further front of contention has exploded over transgender athletes.. (Thirteen states have now passed legislation restricting transgender women and girls’ participation in school sports.)
The core problem with Bill 1557 is that it doesn’t say what it means, or at least doesn’t say so clearly — it is both vague and complex at the same time — and certainly isn’t limited in scope as many conservatives contend.
Classroom instruction by teachers or third parties “on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten or Grade 3” — many agree with that restriction, in general, with students still too young to be introduced to the subjects — but further adds: “or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or development-appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.”
Hence the “Don’t Say Gay” label.
Caught in that net could be any student in any grade, as “age appropriate” hasn’t been defined, and may encompass, not only “instruction” around gender identity and sexual orientation, but also “classroom discussion” of those topics.
Would teachers have to avoid the subject when it is raised, say, by the child of same-sex parents?
Would that topic be taboo in the classroom?
This is certainly chill-inducing for teachers, especially as parents, when the bill comes into effect on July 1, will be able to sue schools and school districts for violating a poorly written bill.
DeSantis doesn’t give a fig about backlash, including from Disney, one of the state’s biggest employers, earlier slammed for not condemning the law more forcefully. He actually seems to be thriving in the maelstrom wake of a law Biden has called “hateful.”
“We will make sure that parents can send their schools to get an education, not an indoctrination,” the governor vowed as he signed the bill at a charter school, north of Tampa. The governor sounded bring-it-on defiant when noting the hostility of progressive activists, corporate boardrooms and Hollywood A-listers.
“If those are the types of people that are opposing us on parents’ rights, I wear that like a badge of honour,” he said after signing the bill. “I don’t care what corporate media outlets say. I don’t care what Hollywood says. I don’t care what big corporations say. Here I stand. I’m not backing down.”
He railed against the bill’s opponents, accusing them of “sexualizing kids in kindergarten.” (In fact, there is no sex instruction in kindergarten through Grade 3.)
“They support enabling schools to ‘transition students’ to a ‘different gender’ without the knowledge of the parent … without the parent’s consent.”
His own press secretary remarked on Twitter that the legislation would be more accurately described as an “anti-grooming bill,” silhouetting its inherent homophobia by linking gays to pedophilia and the grooming of victims.
DeSantis has won this battle. The prevailing view is that, if challenged legally, the courts will uphold the bill.
Of course, the governor is far from a one-trick pony; he signed an appalling voter-suppression law; an anti-protesting law that granted some civil protections to people who, say, drove through protesters blocking a road (blocked by a judge last fall). This month, the Florida legislature passed the “Stop WOKE Act,” intended to limit how workplaces and classrooms handle discussion surround critical race theory.
As well, DeSantis has thumbed his nose at the Biden administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) throughout the pandemic, digging in his heels against regulations, ditching mandates way early and spearheading the rump of states — there are 21 of these — who just this week filed a lawsuit challenging requirements that people wear masks in airports, on planes and on public transit.
What is it about masks that makes some people lose their mind?
Masks and transgender kids: not wanted in Florida.
Thursday was International Transgender day of Visibility, by the way. An LBGTQ advocacy group marked the day by filing a lawsuit against DeSantis. | https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2022/03/31/masks-and-transgender-kids-not-wanted-in-ron-desantiss-florida.html | 2022-04-01T01:37:47Z |

It feels like a pretty straight shot from the dugout to the mound, some 35 to 40 steps. But for Baylor’s Tyler Thomas, the journey to become the Bears’ staff ace followed the most winding path imaginable.
When Thomas talks to his pitcher teammates, they listen. After all, he’s seen a few things along the way. But here he is on the other side, stronger than ever.
“Oh, he’s rode the roller coaster, there’s no doubt about it,” said centerfielder Jared McKenzie. “It’s awesome to see him come out there and compete. I remember, specifically, when we had a team meeting, and he said his sole purpose for coming back was not to make a (NCAA) regional for him but for the guys who haven’t made one yet. So, that means a lot to know that he’s going to go out there and do it for every single one of us out there playing.”
Thomas’s love affair with the game of baseball dates back some 17 years, to when he was six years old and first started playing tee-ball. He remembers “picking daisies and chasing butterflies” in the outfield, and he can still recall his initial forays to the mound, when he just tried to chuck the ball to the catcher as hard as he could. Back then, though, everyone kind of played everywhere.

“Actually, I was a catcher when I was little, a lefty catcher,” Thomas said. “I thought I was the coolest person on the field. Owned a left-handed catcher’s mitt. I was the fan favorite, for sure.”
Like a lot of ballplayers that age, Thomas dreamed of playing in college and the major leagues. He proved to be one of the special few who had the talent and drive to make it happen.
At Keller High School in the Metroplex, Thomas developed into an elite hurler, earning All-America honors from Rawlings/Perfect Game. He caught the eye of college coaches, and felt a connection with Baylor head coach Steve Rodriguez and pitching coach Jon Strauss from the moment they met.
Baylor also had an ace recruiter in the hole in the person of Shea Langeliers, the former Baylor All-American catcher who graduated from Keller a year before Thomas.
“Of course, Shea, he was in my ear a little bit, going to high school with him,” Thomas said. “He says, ‘Hey, Coach asked me about you.’ That’s when it sparks your interest as a young kid, you go, ‘Oh, they want me!’ I committed pretty early, summer after my junior year of high school. Came up here and took a visit and I committed right on the spot.”
The 6-foot-1 southpaw ended up making Baylor’s weekend rotation as a freshman in 2018. From the get-go, he flashed effective stuff. That was never an issue. What was an issue, however, was that he couldn’t get out of his own way, couldn’t slow down his mind and relax.
Opposing batters hit just .209 against Thomas that first season, and he went 3-3 with a 3.38 ERA. Those are good numbers, and indicative of his ability. But he also issued 55 walks in 53.1 innings to go with six wild pitches and five hit batsmen. Those command struggles followed him into his sophomore season of 2019, when he walked 27 batters in 31 innings while recording a 6.68 ERA.
“It’s very frustrating,” Thomas said. “You’re never up there trying to walk somebody. You’re always trying to throw a strike, trying to get ahead, always trying to compete with the hitter. … My freshman year I would go out there and the old guys would come up and say, ‘Hey, what did the second hitter do this inning?’ And I didn’t have an answer. Things were just flying by.”
Any progress Thomas tried to make was complicated by nagging shoulder pain that grew progressively worse over his first two years at Baylor. By his sophomore year, it was bad enough that he needed to take some time off.
“I made a few starts and eventually said, ‘Hey, Coach, I don’t know if I can throw anymore,’” Thomas said.
He rested and tried to recuperate, then threw a little bit in the bullpen. But at the end of the season he underwent surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome. TOC is a disorder that constricts the space between the collar bone and the first rib, affecting the blood vessels that flow through that area. It’s not an uncommon issue for baseball pitchers, including former BU hurler Cody Bradford, who missed most of his final season with the Bears due to TOC surgery.
Thomas said that while the rehabilitation process was grueling, it also was a gift.
“I think it was kind of a blessing, though,” he said. “It gave me time to step back and really look at what was going on in my game, how I could fix it on my way back, and what things I needed to focus on on the road to recovery. Of course, COVID happened right after (in 2020), so that was a bummer. That just gave me even more time to continue to focus on what I needed to focus on, and expand on what I needed to get better at.”
Thomas pitched just 6.2 scoreless innings in that abbreviated 2020 season. That acted as an appetizer for the buffet just around the corner.
In 2021, with his mind quiet and relaxed and his body stronger than ever, Thomas delivered a breakthrough season. He settled into Baylor’s Friday night starter role, compiling a 5-2 record with a 2.49 ERA and 66 strikeouts in 65 innings. He tossed a complete-game shutout against North Carolina A&T a year ago Friday, dialing up an April Fool’s Day special by fooling the A&T batters with eight strikeouts in the first complete game of his career.
Though he had a late-season absence due to a bout with COVID, the 2021 season brought Thomas a measure of gratification, given all that he had endured along the way.
And he just keeps getting better. This season, Thomas has established himself as one of the best pitchers not just in the Big 12, but the country. He ranks 43rd nationally in ERA at 1.79, and only one pitcher ahead of him has thrown more innings. He also ranks ninth in WHIP at 0.72, sits 18th in walks allowed per nine innings (1.12), and comes in at No. 24 in strikeout-to-walk ratio (8.20). Those free passes that plagued him earlier in his career? They’re a thing of the past. Thomas has issued only five walks in 40.1 innings in 2022.
Call this guy Paycheck, because he gets the weekend started right.
“Pitching under the lights is a blast,” Thomas said. “Coming out Game 1 of the series against whoever it is, Maryland, Duke, TCU, Oklahoma last week, the team doesn’t matter. Being the first guy out there, the first guy to throw a strike on the night, all of that is a blast.”
Thomas may be just as valuable as a mentor to Baylor’s other pitchers. When he was an underclassman, Thomas said that former closer Troy Montemayor took him under his wing, passed along confidence-building bits of advice. He has tried to do the same with several of BU’s hurlers, especially when they’re struggling with their command.
His main message: Slow down. Take a breath. Trust your stuff.
“Those are the great things about the kids that we have here,” Rodriguez said. “They want to be able to help them with what we’re expecting, what we’re looking for, what we want them to do, and for them to lead the way and say, ‘Hey, this is how you should do it, this is what they’re expecting out of you.’ Those are the things that make our kids pretty special, they’re trying to help the younger kids do it right early on instead of waiting until their junior or senior year to hopefully figure it out.”
Thomas already owns his undergraduate degree in health, kinesiology and leisure studies, and is working toward a master’s degree in sports management. He said he’s learned a lot in his graduate classes, but his hope is that he won’t really need to use those degrees anytime soon. His dream is to play professional baseball and hear his name called in this June’s MLB Draft.
Until that day, the good-natured Thomas plans to enjoy the rest of this fifth season for the Bears. He and first baseman Chase Wehsener are the only two players remaining from Baylor’s Big 12 tournament championship team of 2018, and he wants his current teammates to experience such glory. He also feels like Baylor has unfinished business after finishing the 2021 season as the No. 65 team in the NCAA bracket breakdown, the first left out of the field.
Thomas also plans to continue to drop whatever knowledge he can to any of his teammates who might be dismayed about an injury or the rehab that lies before them.
“We have several of them going through it right now — where it seems like most of the day is spent in the training room,” Rodriguez said. “And the frustration that they feel … it just takes a lot longer than they really had anticipated.
“So, for a young man like Tyler to be able to persevere through several years of it and to be able to come out where he is right now, it just says a lot about who he is as a man, as a player, and hopefully as a professional athlete here pretty soon.”

Could the Golden Globes be getting an overhaul?
That's the plan proposed by Cheryl Boone Isaacs, who formerly served as the president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, who hold the annual Oscars. Isaacs now serves as a partner and senior advisor at Pacific Coast Entertainment, who shared their proposal to the members of the Globes' governing body, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, exclusively with ET on Thursday.
The proposal reads in part, "Over the last year, many watched the headlines that have dramatically impacted the reputation and stature of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA or Association), its members, and the Golden Globe Awards. A year into the Association's public commitment to transform, and despite the actions taken toward that goal, the boycotts continue, and the public image of the HFPA and Golden Globe Awards remains tarnished."
"As partners, we would take the additional steps needed to reassure the world that the processes by which nominees are considered and awardees selected adhere to the highest ethical standards," the letter continues. "Further, we would deepen and accelerate the work you began more than a year ago, adding more credibility in establishing a more authentic transformation and a willingness to encompass greater diversity and inclusion. This evolution goes far beyond a single award show on a single night."
Prior to issuing an invitation to all HFPA members to hear more about PCE's proposal at an upcoming dinner, the letter concludes, "At PCE, our goal is to build a robust business partnership with the HFPA that will benefit all members of the HFPA while restoring the brand and reputation of the Golden Globes. Our plan includes: creating an endowment to support the foreign correspondents; consummating strategic relationships for brand and community impact; and, creating a path for key industry partners to re-engage with the HFPA."
Following a year of controversy over the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's membership and nominations process, the 2022 Golden Globes were not televised and were held without an audience or red carpet. The HFPA announced just days ahead of the scheduled ceremony that only "select members and grantees" of the governing body would be in attendance, under strict COVID protocols.
During the ceremony, Senior Vice President of the NAACP Hollywood Bureau Kyle Bowser unveiled the Reimagine Coalition, a joint five-year initiative to increase diversity, equity and inclusion across the global entertainment industry.
According to the initiative, each year, the HFPA and NAACP "will collaborate on, fund, and support a series of trailblazing initiatives, with the overall goals of ensuring visibility of projects from artists of diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds; increasing diverse representation in the industry; and building pathways to inclusion for young artists and journalists of color."

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.

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.kmbc.com/article/americans-health-care-concerns/39593902 | 2022-04-01T01:37:47Z |
The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol interviewed its first Trump family member and the highest-ranking official from the previous administration by meeting with Jared Kushner on Thursday for more than six hours, a source inside the room told NBC News.
The panel met virtually with Kushner — Donald Trump's son-in-law and a former top White House adviser — after he voluntarily agreed to speak with the committee Trump has accused of conducting a "witch hunt."
The source described Kushner as being cooperative and friendly.

Las Vegan Haney to battle Kambosos Jr. for undisputed title
Devin Haney is going down under.
The WBC lightweight champion and 23-year-old Las Vegan will fight WBA, WBO and IBF lightweight champion George Kambosos Jr. for the undisputed 135-pound title June 5 at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, Australia.
The fight is the first of three for Haney under a new co-promotional deal with Top Rank and DiBella Entertainment, which promotes Kambosos, 28, of Sydney, Australia.
Haney (27-0, 15 knockouts) was a promotional free agent, previously fighting under the Matchroom promotional banner on DAZN. He’ll fight now on ESPN. The deal includes a rematch clause should Haney win. The third fight, sources said, would be a pay-per-view against former unified lightweight champion Vasiliy Lomachenko, with whom Kambosos (20-0, 10 KOs) previously negotiated before finalizing the fight with Haney.
Lomachenko is unavailable now amid the turmoil in his native Ukraine. The deal with Haney was finalized earlier this week and announced Thursday during a joint press conference.
Haney insisted Thursday that Kambosos did not want to fight him, triggering some spirited back-and-forth between the two champions.
“He was forced into this fight. He did not want to fight me. Up until today he did not want to sign the contract,” said Haney, who last beat JoJo Diaz Jr. on Dec. 4 at MGM Grand Garden. “I’d fight (Kambosos) anywhere. I’d fight (him) in his backyard if I had to.”
Haney claimed his title Sept. 13, 2019 with a stoppage victory over Zaur Abdullaev — completing four defenses and beating former champions in Diaz, Jorge Linares and Yuriorkis Gamboa. Kambosos won his belts by outpointing former unified champion Teofimo Lopez on Nov. 27 in one of the biggest upsets in boxing history.
The fight betweeen the two will crown the first undisputed 135-pound champion in the four-belt era, which began in 2007. Kambosos could have opted to make his first defense against a lesser opponent who presents less of a threat than Haney, a slick, fundamentally sound fighter who could pose problems for his aggressive opponent.
“I’m never content. I always chase the biggest names,” Kambosos said. “I could have fought anybody. Any person, I could have picked. … Devin Haney, step up. Now we’ll take your belt.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is ordering the release of 1 million barrels of oil per day from the nation’s strategic petroleum reserve for six months, the White House said Thursday, in a bid to control energy prices that have spiked after the U.S. and allies imposed steep sanctions on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.
The White House said Biden is also calling on Congress to impose financial penalties on oil and gas companies that lease public lands but aren’t producing. And he intends to invoke the Defense Production Act to encourage the mining of critical minerals for batteries in electric vehicles, part of a broader push to shift toward cleaner energy sources and reduce the use of fossil fuels.
The actions demonstrate forcefully that oil remains a key vulnerability for the U.S. at home and abroad. Higher prices have hurt Biden’s approval domestically, while also adding billions of oil-export dollars to the Russian war chest as it wages war on Ukraine.
The release of reserves in the U.S. would create pressures that could reduce oil prices, though Biden has already twice ordered releases from the strategic reserves without causing a meaningful shift in oil markets.
Part of Biden’s concern is that high prices have not — so far — coaxed a meaningful jump in oil production. The planned release is a way to increase supplies as a bridge until oil companies ramp up their own production, with administration officials estimating that domestic production will grow by 1 million barrels daily this year and an additional 700,000 barrels daily in 2023.
The markets reacted quickly with crude oil prices dropping about 4% in Thursday trading to under $104 a barrel. Still, oil is up from roughly $60 a year ago, with supplies failing to keep up with demand as the world economy has begun to rebound from the coronavirus pandemic. That inflationary problem was compounded by Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, which created new uncertainties about oil and natural gas supplies and led to retaliatory sanctions from the U.S. and its allies.
Biden has been in talks with allies and partners to join in additional releases of oil, such that the world market will get more than the 180 million barrels total being pledged by the U.S.
Americans on average use about 21 million barrels of oil daily, with about 40% of that devoted to gasoline, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. That total accounts for about a fifth of total global consumption of oil.
Domestic oil production is equal to more than half of U.S. usage, but high prices have not led companies to return to their pre-pandemic levels of output. The U.S. is producing on average 11.7 million barrels daily, down from 13 million barrels in early 2020.
Republican lawmakers have said the problem rests with the Biden administration being hostile to oil permits and the construction of new pipelines such as the Keystone XL. Democrats have countered that the country needs to move to renewable energy such as wind and solar that could reduce the dependence on fossil fuels and Putin’s leverage.
Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mt., blasted Biden’s action to tap the reserve without first taking steps to increase American energy production, calling its “a Band-Aid on a bullet wound.″
Daines called Biden’s actions “desperate moves″ that avoid what he called the real solution: ”investing in American energy production,″ especially oil and gas.
“Biden needs to stop appeasing the woke green activists and get oil and gas leases going again,” Daines said.
The Biden administration has countered that increasing oil output is a gradual process and the release would provide time to ramp up production. It also wants to incentivize greater production by putting fees on unused leases on government lands, something that would require congressional approval.
Oil producers have been more focused on meeting the needs of investors than consumers, according to a survey released last week by the Dallas Federal Reserve. About 59% of the executives surveyed said investor pressure to preserve “capital discipline” amid high prices was the reason they weren’t pumping more, while fewer than 10% blamed government regulation.
The steady release from the reserves would be a meaningful sum and come near to closing the domestic production gap relative to February 2020, before the coronavirus caused a steep decline in oil output.
Still, the politics of oil are complicated with industry advocates and environmentalists both criticizing the planned release. Industry advocates want to make drilling easier, while environmental groups say energy companies should be forced to pay a special tax on windfall profits instead.
The American Petroleum Institute, the oil and gas industry’s top lobbying group, said Biden needs to stop focusing on interim steps such as the strategic reserve.
“Instead of managing from crisis to crisis, we should be focused on promoting policies that avoid them altogether through increased production of our nation’s domestic energy resources,” said Frank Macchiarola, senior VP of policy, economics and regulatory affairs.
Jamie Henn, spokesperson for STOP (Stop the Oil Profiteering), said releasing more oil from the strategic reserve “won’t address the root cause of these high gas prices: Big Oil’s coordinated campaign to gouge Americans at the pump. A better solution would be to pass the windfall profits tax proposed in Congress which guarantees immediate relief to Americans without undermining the administration’s climate goals. Big Oil should pay for the problem they’ve created.”
The Biden administration in November announced the release of 50 million barrels from the strategic reserve in coordination with other countries. And after the Russia-Ukraine war began, the U.S. and 30 other countries agreed to an additional release of 60 million barrels from reserves, with half of the total coming from the U.S.
According to the Department of Energy, which manages it, more than 568 million barrels of oil were held in the reserve as of March 25. After the release, the government would begin to replenish the reserve once prices have sufficiently fallen.

SHINNSTON, W. Va. (WV News) — Lincoln collected nine hits and received excellent pitching for a 11-1 victory over Philip Barbour in five innings of Big 10 Conference baseball Thursday night at Lincoln High School Field.
Lance Hostuttler led the Cougars (3-0) at the plate going 2-for-2 and one RBI, while Coby Gorby went 2-for-3 and one RBI.
"The hits were really awesome and we played some small ball today which was nice to see," Lincoln first-year coach Greg Smith said. "Over the first three games, we have been trying to put pressure on the other teams defense and we have done that with the way we are hitting the ball."
The Cougars pitching duo of Levi Moore and Hostuttler combined on a one-hitter against Philip Barbour. Moore started and tossed three innings of no-hit ball striking out four and walking four to get the win. Hostuttler came on in relief and went two innings giving up one run on one hit and striking out three.
"Levi was hitting his spot early and throwing very hard," Smith said. "Lance came in and did a nice job and the two of them pitched very well."
Lincoln scored four runs on two hits and took advantage of one PB error in the first inning to take the initial lead of the game.
Johnny Lopez was hit by a pitch to lead off the game by Colts starter and losing pitcher Mason Halfin. Brayden Arcuri reached on an error to put runners on first and second.
Gorby laid down a bunt single to load the bases. Lopez scored the first run of the game on Jeremiah Carpenter's fielder's choice. Moore followed with a RBI single to left scoring Arcuri. Gorby later scored on a wild pitch and courtesy runner Nick Kellar scored the final run of the inning on a Hostuttler sacrifice fly to center.
"It is good for this team to start the season off quickly and this is a very good group of kids," Smith said. "We just want to keep things going like we have over the first three games of the season, then we will be hard to beat."
The Cougars continued to have the bats rolling scoring four runs on four hits in the second inning for a 8-0 advantage.
Corbin Ayers led off by drawing a walk, Lopez followed with a bunt single and one out later, Gorby provided a RBI single to right scoring Ayers to make it 5-0.
Lopez scored the next run when a balk was called on Halfin to make it Cougars 6-0.
Carpenter added an RBI single to left scoring Gorby and Kellar later scored the final run of the frame on a wild pitch.
The Colts (4-2) finally pushed a run across in the top of the fifth inning as with two outs, Albert Gonzales walked, moved to second on a wild pitch and scored on a Cody Cooper RBI single to right center for the only Philip Barbour hit of the game.
Lincoln put the game away in the bottom of the fifth inning with three runs on three hits and one PB error. Michael Martin had a two-run single to left and Ayers drove in the final run of the game on a RBI single to right center. | https://www.wvnews.com/sports/highschool/cougars-down-pb-11-1/article_8e226ec8-b150-11ec-82ef-c76006ad87db.html | 2022-04-01T01:37:51Z |
Senator Lindsey Graham To Vote “No” On Supreme Court Nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson
WASHINGTON (AP) – Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham says he won’t vote for Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson.
He expressed concerns about her record despite supporting her confirmation as an appeals court judge last year.
The South Carolina senator’s announcement Thursday was expected after he criticized Jackson during her four days of hearings last week.
But it gives Democrats one less Republican vote as they seek bipartisan backing for President Joe Biden’s pick to replace retiring Justice Stephen Breyer.
Graham, Sen. Susan Collins of Maine and Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska were the only three Republicans to vote to confirm Jackson on the appeals court in 2021. | https://www.kglonews.com/senator-lindsey-graham-to-vote-no-on-supreme-court-nominee-judge-ketanji-brown-jackson/ | 2022-04-01T01:37:51Z |
SHINNSTON, W.Va. (WV News) — After watching the Philip Barbour Colts tie the score at 2 in the top of the fifth, the Lincoln Cougars’ response was swift and powerful.
Four straight hits led to a three-run inning as the Cougars stayed perfect on the season in a battle of early undefeateds and state hopefuls, 6-3.
“I thought when Katie Shingleton hit that shot (for a triple), that lit the fire. Once that lit, it was just like boom, boom, boom, boom. It’s contagious,” Lincoln coach Yancey Weaver said.
For Lincoln, Delaney Haller allowed one earned run on seven hits, striking out 10 and walking none, and went 3-for-3 at the plate with two runs and an RBI.
The players immediately in front of her and behind her in the batting order did work, too: Leadoff hitter Cadence Lambert was 2-for-4 with two runs, a triple and an RBI, while Alexis Williams had two hits and a run out of the 3-hole.
Philip Barbour’s Sara Simon struck out nine batters in four innings of work despite being struck by a line drive.
“These are the two best pitchers in the conference,” PB coach Robert Simon said. I threw Bean (Sara) too much last night. We got in a battle at Liberty…so instead of throwing 70 pitches, she had like 110 pitches. I told the girls, ‘We’ve got four good innings out of her. We’ve got to get a lead.’ I thought we played okay. We’re a team that makes one error and gives up two or three runs.”
All seven Colt hits were singles, with Avery McDaniel’s two leading the way.
“We weren’t as disciplined as we needed to be in the box,” coach Simon said.
Singles by Haller and Williams with one out in the bottom of the first got the Cougars off on the right foot and an error on an Emily Robey bunt scored both runners.
It stayed at 2-0 until the top of the fourth when McDaniel, Makayla Gonzales and Hailee Poling singled to load the bases with one out.
But Haller was able to limit the Colts to a Katelyn Cooper sacrifice fly.
The Colts got even in the fifth as Sara Simon singled home Katielynn Warner.
But Kaitlyn Shingleton and Lambert started the Cougar fifth with back-to-back triples, then Haller stroked an RBI single to make it 4-2.
“She hung a drop ball and then she didn’t spin her rise ball. Alexis Williams and Delaney are really good hitters. You hang a ball in the zone and they’re going to capitalize on it,” coach Simon said.
A single by Williams and a walk to Robey loaded the bases.
“I told them that we’ve got to be patient,” Weaver said. “Our timing was off a little bit in the beginning, but I thought once we adjusted, our bats came to life.”
But McDaniel, on in relief, only allowed an RBI groundout, keeping the Colts within three runs at 5-2.
Two errors led to a PB run in the sixth.
“My only complaint in the whole game was that we need to clear up the errors,” Weaver said. “It’s early.”
But Lincoln got it back when Lambert singled with two outs and came all the way around on a series of passed balls.
“The baserunning, I thought, was really good tonight,” Weaver said. “I emphasize that. I’m big on baserunning. I thought that was the difference in the game.”
The Colts had the tying run at the plate with two outs in the seventh after singles by Sara Simon and McDaniel, but Haller got a game-ending strikeout.
Lincoln moves to 5-0 with a home date against South Harrison set for Friday at 5:30 p.m., while Philip Barbour, now 7-1, is off until a home game against Tucker County on Monday at 4:30 p.m.
“I’m really looking forward to the rematch (on April 15). Bean will be rested up and she’ll be on her game. I think we’ll be fine,” coach Simon said. | https://www.wvnews.com/sports/highschool/lincoln-hands-philip-barbour-1st-loss-6-3/article_9fe8d278-b155-11ec-86c0-d3df45c1ff80.html | 2022-04-01T01:37:52Z |

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

Miami Open Masters 2022 Results: Naomi Osaka Advances to 1st Final in Over a Year
April 1, 2022A win by Naomi Osaka and a loss by world No. 2 Daniil Medvedev highlighted Thursday's action in the Miami Open at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida.
Medvedev fell to Hubert Hurkacz in 7-6 (7), 6-3 in the quarterfinals, ending his hopes of replacing Novak Djokovic as the top-ranked player in the world. The Russian would have reclaimed the world No. 1 ranking with a berth in the semifinals.

Osaka, who ranks 77th in the world, could move back into the top 30 with a win in the final. She has already vaulted to No. 36 by just earning a spot in the championship match.

Photos show Russian attacks on Ukraine grain storage -U.S. official
By Steve Holland and Michelle Nichols
WASHINGTON/UNITED NATIONS, March 31 (Reuters) - U.S. government images seen by Reuters showed what a U.S. official said was damage to grain storage facilities in eastern Ukraine and was indicative of the severity of Russian attacks that are impacting the global food supply.
The two black-and-white images showed long rectangular buildings in eastern Ukraine, first seen intact in January and then with damaged roofs and what a key calls "impact craters" in March.
The U.S. official, commenting on the unclassified images, said the United States has information that Russian forces are repeatedly damaging grain storage facilities in eastern Ukraine.
"As of late March, at least six grain storage facilities had been damaged as a result of these attacks," the official said.
The development comes as officials around the world worry about the fallout to the global food supply from the invasion of Ukraine, the world's fourth largest grain exporter in the 2020/21 season.
"Russia´s reckless damaging of these grain silos is a clear-cut example of how Putin´s war directly affects civilians in Ukraine and threatens food security around the world," the official said.
"With countries across Africa and the Middle East reliant on Ukrainian wheat exports, the destruction of these food stocks and storage facilities could result in shortages and drive up prices in already vulnerable economies," the official said.
Russian President Vladimir Putin describes his country's Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine as a "special military operation" that aims to destroy Ukraine's military infrastructure. The Biden administration has repeatedly shared its intelligence publicly to put pressure on Putin over his invasion of Ukraine.
Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman, at a U.N. Security Council meeting on Ukraine on Tuesday, said Russia has bombed at least three civilian ships carrying goods from Black Sea ports to the rest of the world, including one chartered by an agribusiness company.
Sherman said Ukraine had told counterparts that "Russia is actively targeting grain silos and food storage facilities."
The Black Sea is a major shipping route for grain, oil and oil products. Its waters are shared by Bulgaria, Romania, Georgia and Turkey, as well as Ukraine and Russia. Sherman said the Russian navy is blocking access to Ukraine´s ports, essentially cutting off exports of grain and reportedly preventing approximately 94 ships carrying food for the world market from reaching the Mediterranean.
"It´s no wonder many shippers are now hesitant to send vessels into the Black Sea, even to Russian ports, given the danger posed by Russian forces," she said.
Russia's U.N. ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia, refuted Sherman's statement. He accused Ukrainian troops and "nationalists" of shooting at fleeing civilians, then added: "And yet today, we're being told that we're allegedly bombing vessels with grain as well as grain storage warehouses."
Ukraine accused Russia on Wednesday of planting mines in the Black Sea and said some of those munitions had to be defused off Turkey and Romania as risks to vital merchant shipping in the region grow.

With respect to the wishes of mom! Laura Dern’s 17-year-old daughter, Jaya, will graduate from high school before following in the footsteps of the “Jurassic Park” star.
“Basically, I’m making her wait,” the 55—year-old actress Ellen DeGeneres said on Wednesday, March 30, noting that the teen “might” end up working with her one day.
The Oscar winner, who also has a son Ellery, 20, from ex-husband Ben Harper, added: “I started very early, at 11, and I’m so happy that she’s waiting and wants to go to school, [though] deep down she knows she wants to act. … She often says: “You didn’t wait.”
Further, the Los Angeles native noted that she “pushed” her parents to let her play at a young age, and “imposed” her career on them. “I saw the consequences of not going to school, but just doing my own thing,” the “Marriage Story” star explained during an appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres show.
The Emmy Award winner, who for many years starred in the films “Big Little Lies”, “Little Women”, “Twin Peaks: The Return” and other projects, became a mother in 2001, when her son came to her and the 52-year-old musician. Jaya was born in 2004.
Since finalizing her divorce from Harper in 2013, single parenting has been “stressful,” as Dern told Modern Luxury six years later.
“On good days, I’m kind enough to remember that there are growth issues, and it’s all overwhelming, difficult, or always fun,” the Golden Globe winner told the magazine in August 2019. “On difficult days… a lot of things happen — and it can be difficult to find a minute for yourself. I’ve never seen anyone else bully me in my single parent life.”
At the time, the Wild star noted that she was surrounded by “champions” when she was raising Ellery and Jaya, saying: “I can definitely do it myself.”
Three months earlier, Dern told InStyle that she had become more “ambitious” as a single mother.
“Raising children has given me enough authority on the streets to feel that I have earned the right to earn money,” the graduate of Enlightened explained to the publication in May 2019. “This moment in my life is so sexy and liberating because I’ve had a lot of relationships, I’ve had a marriage, I have wonderful children, so I’m not hiding who I am to find someone who wants to have children or get married.”
Quarantined with their brood during the coronavirus pandemic, Dern and Jaya teamed up on their skin care routines. The teenager even tinted her mom’s roots. | https://www.somagnews.com/laura-dern-forces-her-17-year-old-daughter-jaya-to-finish-school-before-taking-up-acting/ | 2022-04-01T01:37:53Z |
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (WV News) — Finally, West Virginia basketball coach Bob Huggins can look into that rear view mirror of life.
He's going into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame now, 916 wins into his career, twice a coach in the Final Four, but not one from one of those blue blood schools like Kentucky or Duke or North Carolina, not one who had the advantages those schools had in recruiting and publicity.
The news was broken late Thursday when Shams Charania of the Athletic, quoting anonymous sources, said that Huggins will be included in the 2022 class when it is announced on ESPN2 Saturday afternoon.
He got there by always moving forward, concentrating on tomorrow even before today was over, using coaching savvy that was a fiber of the son of an Ohio Hall of Fame high school coach.
The shame is, perhaps, that Charlie Huggins, who died late last year, won't be there in Springfield, Massachusetts for the induction ceremony, at least not in the flesh, but certainly Huggins brings him and all he taught him about basketball and life with him in spirit.
About that rear-view mirror, that's Huggins most famous, most oft-told story of the thousands he has entertained so many with as his career weaved its way through Wayne to Akron to Cincinnati to Kansas State to Cincinnati, a career build on the lesson he learned about life in childhood, a career that went forward because he took the advice of a man without a rear-view mirror.
"I grew up in Midvale (Ohio), 500 people, two stoplights, nine bars," the story always begins.
He was walking to school with a friend to the playground for a game of pick=up basketball when a guy named Phil offered him and his friend a ride.
"I got in the truck with this guy one time and looked and he'd didn't have a rear-view mirror. I said, 'You don't have a rear-view mirror.' He said, 'I don't back up. We're going forward, son.'"
And then he offers up the punch line.
"And that's kind of how I've lived my life."
There's been highs and lows, always are in sports, good teams and bad teams. His profession is measured, often wrongly so, by wins and losses, but coaches are so much more than that. You can't be a Hall of Fame coach without a resume that puts you, as Huggins is, fourth in all-time victories, now firmly on the last leg of the relay race to 1,000 wins.
But his biggest wins have been accomplished through the way he changed the lives of the players who played for him, mostly kids who had rough upbringings, kids who were looking for a way off a road to nowhere.
They always have been his real successes.
What he gave them was love ... tough love, but love.
He tells the story of an early recruit, Bryan Roth, who played for him his first season at Akron, 1984-85. Roth was a 6-7 center, averaged 15.1 points, 9.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists that year.
Thirty-three years passed after Roth played for Huggins when he called his former coach.
"He said, 'Coach, can I come spend a little time with you?' I hadn't really seen him or talked to him all that much since I left Akron," Huggins once remembered. "So, he cam down, went to a game. I said, 'We're going to play the day after tomorrow, why don't you stay for another one.' So he did. He stayed at my house. We had a great time, talked."
Roth and Huggins had breakfast the next day with Huggins, then returned to Akron.
"He died the next day," Huggins said.
That was four years ago. Roth was 56.
Huggins, who himself nearly died after suffering a heart attack at Greater Pittsburgh Airport while leaving for one of a thousand recruiting trips only to be saved by an EMT who turned out to be Kentucky coach John Calipari's cousin, which is another of the endless Huggins' stories, still thinks of Roth.
"It continues to make you understand nothing is guaranteed," Huggins says.
And so it goes. Don't look back, you are going forward and you have to keep your foot on the pedal because nothing is guaranteed.
It is the relationships that Huggins worships, relationships with players and fellow coaches.
"When Huggins left Akro he went to Cincinnati, a program that once had ruled college basketball in the days of Jack Twyman and Oscar Robertson but that had fallen on tough times. He needed players and needed them fast. He showed himself to be ahead of the times as he turned to junior colleges for quick help, something he still does today.
You don't get the four-star headline makers this way. You take a chance, but he has always been able to make it work and there was a quick turnaround at Cincinnati that would lead to a Final Four appearance and with Kenyon Martin, the best player he ever coached, a No. 1 ranking.
In that Final Four run at Cincinnati, the point guard was Nick Van Exel, who wound up with a 13-year NBA career. He remembered Huggins and Cincinnati a couple of years ago on a podcast, "Knuckleheads with Quentin Richardson and Darius Miles."
"The guys he recruited was myself, Corie Blount, Herb Jones, Terry Nelson and Erik Martin (now one of his assistants). "It's crazy, because when yu go all these different junior college kids, you know, JUCO, we was a little different. We wasn't the five stars and stuff like that.
"Most of the time, JUCO players had a little edge about them. And this dude molded that together. And he molded it together as a way, as a player, we didn't like it, but we respected the grind. He would literarily have you ready to run through a wall. That was just the way he was.
"He would get in your face and curse you, kick you out of practice."
Today there's a problem selling that style to kids but then, these hungry kids ate it up.
"That's the kind of stuff we was going through all the time, but everybody -- we knew that the stuff he was teaching was legit. He instilled in us that 'toughness', that 'grit, that 'grimey' basketball. Like 'we're up in your face for 40 minutes. We ain't letting up.'
That, of course, eventually became 'Press Virginia' when he came home to coach the Mountaineers.
It was funny, really, those were his kind of players ... the Da'Sean Butlers, Kevin Jones, Joe Mazzullas, Truck Bryants of the world. He loved players like that, like John Flowers and how many others, players he could curse and push in practice, then walk off the court with his arm around their necks after practice.
Tough love?
He once said to his center Jamie Smalligan, "You haven't hit a 3 since Moby Dick was a minnow."
Of Devin Williams he once said, "If Devin would have thrown two more balls into the stands he would have had a triple double."
Then there was a game against VMI when they were on a run and Huggins just let them play on without calling a time out. Why?
"I just didn't want to talk to 'em," he said. "I wish we hadn't had media time outs."
But they loved him, those who had thick skin, sharp elbows and good jump shots.
They remember what he said, what he was like.
"If somebody misses a block-out," Smalligan once said, "Huggs will just say, 'I was dead on the floor for two minutes (with his heart attack) and I could block that guy out.)"
"Huggs was tough, I ain't gonna lie," Van Exel said. "He was probably one of the toughest coaches I ever had to play for in my life. My ninth-grade coach, Dr. Knight, he was tough. Then I had my JUCO coach at Trinity Valley, but none of them compare to Huggs. What they did, they helped get me ready for Huggs."
Van Exel then laughed.
"It still didn't help," he said.
His relationships with other coaches also live on in their minds.
Frank Martin, recently fired at South Carolina and hired at UMass, became particularly close to Huggins.
"He's been unbelievable to me in my career," Martin said on national TV during this NCAA Tournament, where he and Huggins served as analysts. "To tell you who he's about ... I remember our first year at K-State and we were playing Vermont. We were down and I was frustrated and I'm sitting there and with a couple of minutes to go in the game he turns around and screams at me, 'Hey, are you planning to help me tonight or what?'
"I regathered myself, jumped up, ran down to where he was and said, 'Hey, put Cartier Martin back in the game. We need him to win.'
"He turned around, kissed me right in the middle of my forehead and said, 'Frank, I love you, but Cartier Martin fouled out 30 seconds ago.'"
That's typical Bob Huggins. He loves his people. Martin had another example of it when he assisted Huggins at Kansas State, then replaced him.
"You are talking about the most genuine man in the game of college basketball. He did something I don't think any other coach would have done," Martin said. "When he left K-State to take the job at West Virginia, he went out of his way to leave behind our staff intact and went out of his way to make sure that recruiting class -- which had seven freshmen in it -- stayed together. He went out of his way to make sure Michael Beasley stayed there.
"To quote him, he said 'I had my time. I'll be fine at West Virginia. Now it's Frank's time and I want to make sure we do our part to help them.' I'm not sure too many guys in this business would have done that." | https://www.wvnews.com/sports/wvu/hall-finally-calls-for-bob-huggins/article_3e93b010-b150-11ec-ab58-373ca06d430a.html | 2022-04-01T01:37:53Z |

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.

On Wednesday, fans were shocked to hear that legendary actor Bruce Willis would be stepping away from his acting career after being diagnosed with aphasia.
Willis' family announced on Wednesday that after a decades-spanning career with many blockbuster films and franchises to his name, the 67-year-old actor would be "stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him," due to the condition affecting his "cognitive abilities."
According to the Mayo Clinic, aphasia is "a condition that robs you of the ability to communicate. It can affect your ability to speak, write and understand language, both verbal and written."
Two sources have since told ET that the actor's health has been deteriorating for a while now, so much so that he needed help with his lines on film sets.
"It got to the point where on his last several films, he was fitted with an earpiece, and someone had to read him his lines because he was unable to remember them," one of the sources told ET.
ET spoke with Dr. Nneka Ifejika, a rehab specialist at UT Southwestern, about the condition.
"Aphasia is a condition that results from damage to the speech areas of the brain," Dr. Ifejika shared with ET.
As for what Willis and his family can do to treat his condition moving forward, he has several options to maintain a good quality of life.
"There are treatments for it, though, so it will be very important to get ahold of a speech and language pathologist," Dr. Ifejika noted. "Their quality of life is greatly affected by aphasia, however, with good, adaptive methods and ways to compensate for aphasia, you can still have a good quality of life. There are certain medications and certain conditions that can be used to help facilitate communication."
Willis' last released project was this year's A Day to Die, and he has several completed and announced projects listed on his IMDb page.
Willis is best known for his role as John McClane in the Die Hard films and has many other hit movies to his name including Pulp Fiction, The Sixth Sense, Sin City, Armageddon, The Fifth Element and more.

Beware the mailbox that dares anger a bull on the loose, for as the saying goes: you mess with the bull, you get the horns.
Body camera video from a police officer shows the moment a 9-month-old bull named "Butch" on the loose laid waste to such a mailbox in Stafford Township after escaping from a local farm Wednesday.
“Officer Pascale was not amooooosed when he got dispatched to this call on Hilliard Ave today,” the Stafford Township Police Department posted on its Facebook page.
After a quick lick – perhaps to try and sense its fear through taste – the video shows the bull hooking the mailbox from underneath with its horn and yanking it up off the ground, along with the post it was attached to.
It turns out mailboxes are not cut out to be matadors. Who knew?
The officer, parked next to the bovine, can be heard chuckling as he calls someone. “She’s busy assaulting a mailbox right now,” the officer says.
Stafford Township police Capt. Jim Vaughn called it a “great escape” and said the roughly year-old bull got loose – along with several pigs and a goat – through a gate that was not properly secured.

After a while, animal control arrived and managed to secure the bull by enticing it with food, Vaughn said.
Despite the video also showing the bull darting through the front yard of a house, the only property damage done was to the mailbox, Vaughn added.
On Thursday the bull was taken to Skylands Animal Sanctuary and Rescue in Sussex County, New Jersey, where he'll have much more room to roam.
"He'll be fantastic," Mike Stura of Skylands told NBC10. "He's nice as it is. You know. He was playing with that mailbox. That was just playing. He wasn't mad."
The bull's owner, Veronica Tkaczuk, told NBC10 she rescued Butch when he was just weeks old so he wouldn't be raised for slaughter.
"It's a little sad but I know that he's getting to like, he's so strong," she said. "He's so big and so strong and I would hate for something bad to happen." | https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/national-international/watch-bull-on-the-loose-in-nj-town-lays-waste-to-mailbox/2860446/ | 2022-04-01T01:37:54Z |
Ford, GM to halt production at two Michigan plants due to parts shortage
By David Shepardson
March 31 (Reuters) - Ford Motor Co F.Nand General Motors GM.N will each halt production next week at a Michigan plant due to parts shortages, the two companies said separately on Thursday.
No. 2 U.S. automaker Ford said it would suspend production at its Flat Rock Assembly Plant next week, where it builds the Mustang, due to the global semiconductor shortage.
GM said that because of a temporary part shortage it would cancel production next week at Lansing Grand River assembly, where it builds the Cadillac CT4, Cadillac CT5 and Chevrolet Camaro. GM said the production halt was not related to chips but provided no other specifics.
The auto industry is grappling with a global chip shortage triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, forcing companies to cut production, although high car prices have partially offset the financial impact.
Ford warned last month that the chip shortage would lead to a decline in vehicle volumes in the current quarter. Last month, Ford halted production at its Kansas city assembly plant that makes F-150 pickup vehicles for a week due to the chip shortage.
Dearborn, Michigan-based Ford said that production at its other North American plants will continue as normal.
GM last week said it would halt production for two weeks at an assembly plant in Fort Wayne, Indiana, that builds the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 pickup trucks, beginning April 4, over the semiconductor chip shortage.

Mild weather expected to help NHRA contenders at LVMS
The weekend forecast at Las Vegas Motor Speedway is four wide with sunny skies.
Which probably means that drag racing fans will be on the edge of their seats and drivers on top of their games.
“We get to come in here and get four qualifying rounds in — not one, like in Gainesville, and just roll the dice,” said three-time Top Fuel champion Antron Brown, using an analogy usually associated with Las Vegas to describe the recent Gatornationals in Florida.
Torrential rains and brisk temperatures — it was 42 degrees when final eliminations began — produced some unexpected results and left Brown and other contenders searching for speed. While four cars hurtling down the track in unison instead of the usual two should provide a wrinkle or two, most drivers believe the weather will be a far bigger factor in who gets the wins at LVMS.
“For us, the more runs we get, the better we’re going to become,” said Brown, who left vaunted Don Schumacher Racing to form his own team during the off-season and sits an uncharacteristic 13th in season points after three races.
“What’s so cool about coming here is the weather is going to be out of the park. So the track conditions are going to be formidable (but) we’re going to have four laps of qualifying. The more laps we get, the better our team is going to get.”
With the inclement conditions and dearth of qualifying opening the door for others, Tripp Tatum defeated fellow first-time finalist Doug Foley for the Top Fuel victory in Florida. Meanwhile, Steve Torrence, who won 11 times in 20 starts and advanced to 14 final rounds en route to his fourth Top Fuel title in 2021, remains winless in 2022 and has yet to race in a final.
Hagan wins for Stewart
The Funny Car standings look much more familiar, with three-time champion Robert Hight on top after winning in California and Arizona.
Matt Hagan topped the ladder in chilly Florida, which also was hardly a surprise, given the husky Virginian has earned three Funny Car titles and 40 race victories. But winning in just his third start for a new team headed by former NASCAR star Tony Stewart and his new bride (and Top Fuel driver) Leah Pruett still raised eyebrows.
“It’s a big day to get the first win for Tony Stewart Racing,” Hagan said after icing down the victory podium in Gainesville with a spray of champagne. “For Tony to come over here and be a part of NHRA is huge. He’s married to Leah, but, you know, he ain’t married me, and you can tell he wants to be here and that says a lot for our sport.”
In Pro Stock, four-time champion Erica Enders won the season-opening Winternationals. But relative upstarts Aaron Stanfield and Dallas Glenn also have broken through for victories while rookie Camrie Caruso and others have shown early speed.
“I’m excited, thankful and just happy to have the opportunity I do,” said the 24-year-old Caruso about her family-owned team breaking into a sport in which women race side by side with men and often beat them. “I don’t really look at it as a girls and a guys class. We’re all racecar drivers. We all know what we’re doing. We’re all out here for the same goal.”

The number of large transactions on Cardano has increased the most compared to the previous year. Transaction volume on Cardano explodes this year. By our calculations, we have seen Cardano spike 51x in roughly three months, one of the highest volume levels since mid-2018.
Trading with SquaredFinancial
While other metrics such as average transaction size and volatility remain relatively volatile, the total address count has increased since the beginning of 2022. The year began with around 3.4 million addresses which has now grown to 5 million and many more are expected due to the expected mid-year hard fork.
There has already been talk about the need for decentralization and the associated difficulties in coordination. We are entering a new era, but the problem is that there is no one decision-making leader for the entire crypto industry. If we are really fans of decentralized technology, we need to get together and organize. We have to write some kind of constitution for the things we do and believe in; We have to decide .
Graph of the Cardano ADA ADAUSD cryptocurrency prices in a time frame of one week
We have two roads ahead; either we maintain integrity and seek decentralization, we find consensus solutions, or the other way around, we ignore it. In that case, we will have highly centralized and optimized monitors, constraints, consensus algorithms that can be reset at any time. Few will control the rest.
The crypto industry has many talented enthusiasts and cool visionaries in the field of technology, and has not developed an effective lobby for solutions in the world of politics. Strategic decisions are made in the privacy of government, and that is where our message must be delivered. And to convince politicians that the technological innovation introduced by blockchain as a whole is a necessary step and will determine the future of the economy and of nations. | https://d1softballnews.com/cardano-with-catastrophic-ada-quotes-experts-call-for-a-constitution-for-cryptocurrencies/ | 2022-04-01T01:37:55Z |
Oscars producer says police offered to arrest Will Smith
Oscars producer Will Packer said Los Angeles police were ready to arrest Will Smith after Smith slapped Chris Rock on the Academy Awards stage.
Related video above: Chris Rock gets warm welcome from Boston crowd during first show post-Oscars slap
"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 to 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." | https://www.koat.com/article/oscars-producer-police-offered-arrest-will-smith/39603725 | 2022-04-01T01:37:57Z |

Kansas bill could ban cities to become 'sanctuary cities'
The bill passed the Kansas Senate on Wednesday.
The bill passed the Kansas Senate on Wednesday.
The bill passed the Kansas Senate on Wednesday.
A new bill in Kansas that would put an end to sanctuary cities is headed to governor’s desk.
House Bill 2717 would restrict local jurisdictions from becoming sanctuary cities.
"Even when it was introduced, it's disheartening. Sad for our communities," said Karla Juarez with the Safe and Welcoming Wyandotte Coalition.
The group spent five years working to pass the Safe And Welcoming Act in Wyandotte County, which gives undocumented immigrants the opportunity get photo identification, and prohibits any local law enforcement from working with ice investigations unless the public is in danger.
"When you spend so long out here canvassing talking to communities, town halls, educating, (it's) sad," Juarez said.
The bill would make municipal ID cards invalid when used instead of state IDs for purposes like voter ID, and require local law enforcement to cooperate with federal immigration authorities.
"Substituting politics for law enforcement is rarely a good idea and that's what's happening here," said Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt.
But the Safe and Welcoming Wyandotte Coalition says the bill will drive immigrants further into the shadows and undermine public safety.
"Why act when Wyandotte County (one of) the most diverse counties in the state passes a safe and welcoming ordinance like this. Why? I dont know. I don't understand," Juarez said.
Gov. Laura Kelly didn't say whether or not she will veto the bill, but supports local governments to make their own decisions.
"I think it's important that our local communities with their elected officials do what they think is best for themselves," Kelly said.
Still, Juarez remains hopeful the bill will be vetoed.
"We remain hopeful that Gov. Kelly responds in such a way that, really, the community wants her too, and that's to veto this bill," Juarez said.

Seahawks' DK Metcalf Talks Diet, Says He Eats 1 Meal and 3-4 Bags of Candy a Day
April 1, 2022Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf is one of the most talented and physically imposing wide receivers in the NFL, which is all the more impressive when you consider his diet.
Metcalf told Kevin Garnett on the KG Certified show that he has one meal, a cup of coffee and three to four bags of candy per day.

He told Garnett he starts his day by working out, grabs a coffee around noon that will "hold me until like four, five o'clock," orders some candy and water around 4:30 p.m., eats dinner around eight or nine p.m. and goes to sleep.
And that's every day. That's his entire diet. This guy, below, thrives on that food regiment:

New Jersey brewery feels Ukraine ripple effect from rising grain prices
By Hussein Waaile
CITY OF ORANGE, N.J., March 31 (Reuters) - Struggling with the rising cost of grains, aluminum and fuel due to inflation exacerbated by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, New Jersey brewery Four City Brewing Company says it will have to raise prices in its taproom soon.
The craft beer maker cans its product in Orange, New Jersey, in a labor-intensive operation, weighing the filled cans by hand as they are packed into boxes.
So far, the company has managed not to raise prices, but that may not last.
"Grain has gone up 18, 20, 25 cents a pound. So when you're talking about hundreds, maybe a thousand pounds per batch, it's a lot of money," said co-owner Anthony Minervino.
Ukraine, among the world's leading exporters of grain and vegetable oils, has introduced export licenses for wheat and suspended exports of rye, oats, millet, buckwheat, salt, sugar, meat and livestock since the invasion, which Russia calls a "special military operation."
"It's at least going to be $1 to $2 more, probably per pour in the taproom, probably a couple of dollars on each case per keg," said Roger Apollon Jr., another co-owner.
"Nothing extreme. But we have to cover our costs because the costs have been pretty significant."
Minervino said the war in Ukraine will likely have a ripple effect, and has been compounded by earlier inflation on everything from the barley - that is a key ingredient in brewing their beer - to aluminum for the cans, shipping and electricity prices.
The brewery's biggest margin is in their taproom, which is where they hope to recoup some of their losses.
"If you want to compare prices three months ago to make the can of beer as opposed to today, we have the grain, the aluminum, there's fuel surcharges, the shipping and everything, it's gone up significantly," said Minervino.

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.

Sign it! Luann de Lesseps was as shocked as everyone else that The Real Housewives of New York turned into two shows, but she’s ready to hold an apple again if Andy Cohen lets her.
Earlier this month, the 53-year-old Bravo executive announced that RHONY would be split into two different shows in the future. There will be a reboot of the original RHONY franchise with a new cast, as well as an additional show currently called RHONY: Legacy. This series will focus on women who have appeared in previous seasons of the show, but no cast has yet been confirmed.
Luann, for her part, said she felt “complete surprise” when she heard the news. “I didn’t expect this, but when I found out about it, I was very happy about it,” she told Us. “I’m thrilled that they brought back the cast of OG because you can’t put a square peg in a round hole. I say this because sometimes you bring new girls and they don’t really fit into your group, and I think it’s awkward.”
The 13th season of RHONY, which aired last year, introduced new actor Ebony K. Williams and “friend” Bershan Shaw, and relative newcomer Leah McSweeney returned for a second season. After several delays, the reunion was canceled in September 2021, and later news broke that Bravo was investigating alleged racism on set after 38-year-old Ebony filed a complaint against Ramona Singer.
“A brand new cast and cast of OG is the perfect solution,” the author of “Class with the Countess” continued. “I feel like they figured it out after seeing how well Ultimate Girls Trip works and how much fans and people enjoyed watching the OG from each franchise together.”
Cohen thoughtfully noted that no casting decisions have been made for any of the RHONY iterations, but if he wants Luann back, she is ready to comply.
“If they bring me back, I’m totally on board because I think it’s a lot of fun to be back with all our old friends,” she told Us, adding that her dream line—up includes former housewives Jill Zarin and Kelly. Bensimon.
While Bravo fans are waiting for new RHONY news, the “Money Can’t Buy You Class” singer is preparing for the next round of her Countess Cabaret shows. The last leg of the tour starts in Ridgefield, Connecticut, on April 16.
“[It’s] a brand new show,” the “Girl Code” singer told us. “In the past, I invited more guests to my show, and now it’s all me.” The reality star also noted that this time she “will perform more pop songs,” including her new song “F Bombs on the G”. (The song premiered after the first season of Ultimate Girls Trip.)
The Connecticut native is also promoting the NFT she created in collaboration with Fanaply. The proceeds from the sale of the NFT, which depicts Luann in the image of Marilyn Monroe, will go to the charity The Helping Angels, dedicated to meeting the needs of women, children and the elderly.
“I was excited. I thought, “First of all, I’ve never been to NFT,” the “Chic C’est la Vie” singer explained. “I think there’s a little bit of Marilyn Monroe in everyone. Especially me, because I love performing.”
Luann’s former colleague Dorinda Medley is also involved in the project along with Jenn Lyon, Sophie Sumner and Lana Ogilvy. “I think this is the way to the future,” the Ultimate Girls Trip graduate added about NFT. “There are so many wonderful women involved in the project, and I am very proud to be a part of it.”
Starting on Thursday, March 31, at 10:00 am ET, fans can visit this website to buy or bet on the very first issue of this NFT collection. These are the first NFTs for photographer Ezequiel De La Rosa, as well as Luann, Dorinda, Jenn, Lana and Sophie. | https://www.somagnews.com/luann-de-lesseps-from-rhony-is-very-happy-about-the-split-into-two-shows-i-didnt-expect-this/ | 2022-04-01T01:37:59Z |
The beat goes on for the third-ranked McLennan baseball team. And as beats go, it’s a pretty funky groove.
MCC swept a pair of games from visiting Weatherford on Wednesday at Bosque River Ballpark to improve to 9-1 in North Texas Junior College Athletic Conference play. The Highlanders rode the strong right arm of Will Carsten to a 3-1 win in the opener, then captured an 11-3 run-rule win in the nightcap.
Carsten, a 6-foot-7 freshman out of San Antonio Reagan High School, hurled six scoreless innings to open MCC’s Game 1 triumph. He improved to 4-1 on the season and lowered his season ERA to a sparkling 1.48.
Weatherford starter Adrian Siravo kept MCC (23-6-1 overall) from scoring until the fourth. That’s when Cole Fontenelle doubled and promptly scored on a Katcher Halligan single. The Highlanders stretched the gap to 3-0 in the sixth on Fontenelle’s two-run home run, extending his team lead to five.
The Coyotes (21-12, 6-8) broke up the shutout in the seventh, but freshman Nick Greaney closed out the game for his first save of the year for the Highlanders.

Devin Bennett notched the win on the mound to improve to 4-1 on the year.
The Highlanders and Coyotes will wrap up the four-game series Saturday in Weatherford, with a noon first pitch for the opening game. | https://wacotrib.com/sports/college/mcc/mcc-baseball-sweeps-weatherford-to-go-to-9-1-in-conference/article_6deb52bc-b157-11ec-9bcf-ef68d1a97019.html | 2022-04-01T01:37:59Z |
Emotions were running high during Chris Rock’s first stand-up shows since he was slapped by Will Smith during Sunday's 94th annual Academy Awards. On Wednesday, the 57-year-old comedian took the stage at the Wilbur Theatre in Boston, Massachusetts, for two shows to kick off of his Ego Death Live tour, and quickly addressed the shocking incident at the Oscars.
"I have a whole show… that I wrote before the weekend, so, if you came here for that, I'm still processing it," the comedian said during his first show. "I will talk about it, and it will be serious, and it will be funny, but not tonight."
ET learned that Chris arrived via private plane to Boston on Tuesday afternoon and checked into the Ritz Carlton before heading to his dress rehearsal at the venue.
A source told ET that Chris has been "pensive" and the events from Sunday have been on his mind, but he didn't want them to distract from his performance. "His focus is on his show right now," the source said.
The source also told ET that ahead of taking the stage, Chris worked out at his hotel gym and made his way to the venue around 4 p.m. to prepare for the sold-out shows. The source added that Chris was relaxed and upbeat and looking forward to performing, but knew he had to address the incident at the Oscars.
At the first show at 7 p.m., an eyewitness tells ET that Chris entered the stage to uproarious applause, with the audience giving him an enthusiastic standing ovation for about three minutes. The eyewitness says fans were whistling and cheering and yelling out that they love him. And just as the crowd looked as if they were about to settle down and let Chris begin, they rose to their feet again.
Chris, sporting an all-white outfit and a couple of silver bracelets, was visibly overwhelmed with emotion and touched by the very warm response. He even noted that he was getting “misty.”
"The reception he received onstage was very emotional for Chris," the source tells ET.
From there, Chris jokingly asked how everyone's weekend was and explained that he wrote his jokes before the shocking event that took place at the Oscars.
After he quickly addressed the incident, he went into his stand-up routine. ET's eyewitness says he commanded the stage and had the audience in stitches with non-stop laughter.
While he did make a couple subtle comments about Sunday’s incident, he never referred specifically to Will or his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. At one point in the show, he said, "I have a great life. Well, other than some weird sh** going on."
ET's eyewitness says there was an incident at the first show, where two unruly audience members were escorted out by security. The show resumed, but police were called out and the men were arrested for assaulting an officer, according to ET's source. After the men were escorted out, Chris told the audience, "Is this how the tour is going to be?"
The source tells ET that Chris' personal security was on high alert and ready to pull him off stage if needed, but it didn't get to that point. "Chris was not rattled by that incident," ET's source says.
Chris ended his show with another standing ovation and ET's source says he was "upbeat and was in great spirits" after that first performance.
As for Chris' 10 p.m. show, ET's eyewitness says it was much like the first one but with a few minor tweaks.
"I don't have a bunch a sh** about what happened, so if you came to see that, I have a whole show that I wrote before this weekend and I'm still kind of processing what happened," he said during his second set. "At some point, I'll talk about that sh** and it'll be serious and funny, but I'm going to tell some jokes. I'm going to talk about-- it's nice to just be out!"
After the shows, he was escorted out of the venue with security and went back to his hotel to sleep. It was a quiet first night for him, but ET's source says, "Chris was in really great spirits and happy to be back onstage!"
As for how Chris is coping after being slapped at the Oscars, a source tells ET that while he's used to fame, he has never experienced this level of attention.
"It's not uncommon to see Chris walking around the streets of New York City and showing up in small comedy clubs to workshop new material. He's never been someone who's hounded by paparazzi," the source says. "This level of attention is very new to Chris. There was a mob of photographers chasing him from the hotel to the theater and swarming him as he entered. There were even choppers following him."
Needless to say, Chris has beefed up security and is really taking this time to wrap his head around everything that's transpired, the source says.
"It's been an emotional week for Chris," the source adds.

Report: Manu Ginobili, four others to be inducted into Basketball Hall of Fame originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
The Basketball Hall of Fame is getting at least five new members.
Manu Ginobili, Tim Hardaway, Swin Cash, George Karl and Bob Huggins will be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2022, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.
It's unclear if those are the only 2022 finalists who have been voted in. Lindsay Whalen, Michael Cooper, Marques Johnson, Leta Andrews, Marianne Stanley and Hugh Evans were the other finalists this year.
The Class of 2022 will be formally announced at the Final Four of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament in New Orleans on Saturday.
Ginobili is the lone first-ball inductee in the Class of 2022. A second-round pick of the Spurs in 1999, Ginobili was a key member of four championship teams in San Antonio. He logged 1,057 career games in the NBA -- all in a Spurs uniform -- but only started in only 349 of them as he established himself as one of the greatest sixth men of all time.
Ginobili was a two-time All-Star, made two All-NBA teams and claimed the 2007-08 Sixth Man of the Year award. He also led Argentina to a gold medal in the 2004 Athens Olympics and a bronze in the 2008 Beijing Games.

Sports news
Hardaway made five All-Star teams and five All-NBA teams throughout his 13-year career. The 1989 first-round pick spent most of his time with the Golden State Warriors, as part of the famous Run-TMC teams, and Miami Heat. Hardaway had five seasons where he averaged at least 20 points and eight seasons where he put up at least eight assists per game. He has an Olympic gold medal as well, winning it with Team USA in the 2000 Sydney Games.
Cash was a champion at the college, professional and international levels. She won two national championships at UConn, three WNBA championships (two with the Detroit Shock and one with the Seattle Storm) and two gold medals with Team USA. The No. 2 overall pick of Detroit in 2002, Cash played 15 seasons in the WNBA and was named to four All-Star Games. She won MVP in two of her All-Star appearances.
Karl sits sixth on the NBA's all-time wins list and is one of just 10 head coaches with at least 1,000 career victories. He amassed a 1,175-824 record (.588 winning percentage) over his 27 years as a head coach while working for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Warriors, Seattle SuperSonics, Milwaukee Bucks, Denver Nuggets and Sacramento Kings. Karl's teams made the playoffs in 22 of his 27 seasons, with the 1995-96 SuperSonics reaching the NBA Finals. He also won Coach of the Year with the Nuggets in 2012-13.
Huggins, who just wrapped up his 37th season as a college head coach at the Division I level, is eighth all time in wins among D-I coaches with 844. He's piled up 21 combined conference championships and 25 NCAA Tournament appearances, reaching the Final Four twice. He's spent the last 15 seasons at West Virginia, with Kansas State, Cincinnati and Akron being his previous stops.
The induction ceremony for the Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2022 will take place on Sept. 10 in Springfield, Mass. | https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/sports/report-manu-ginobili-four-others-to-be-inducted-into-basketball-hall-of-fame/2860430/ | 2022-04-01T01:38:00Z |

He was transported by Harrison County EMS to Health Net, then flown to the hospital in Morgantown, according to a Harrison-Taylor 911 dispatcher.
Clarksburg Police had no additional information on his condition as of Thursday evening.
No charges are expected, Moore said.

PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey refused to say Thursday if transgender people actually exist, twice dodging direct questions on the subject just a day after he signed legislation limiting transgender rights.
The Republican worked instead to defend his signatures on bills that bar transgender girls and women from playing on girls high school and women's college sports teams and barring gender affirming surgery for anyone under age 18.
When specifically asked if he believed that there “are really transgender people,” the governor paused for several seconds before answering.
“I’m going to ask you to read the legislation and to see that the legislation that we passed was in the spirit of fairness to protect girls sports in competitive situations,” Ducey said, referring to the new law that targets transgender girls who want to play on girls sports teams. “That’s what the legislation is intended to do, and that’s what it does.”
Asked again if he believed there are “actual transgender people,” he again answered slowly and carefully.
“I ... am going to respect everyone, and I’m going to respect everyone’s rights. And I’m going to protect female sports. And that’s what the legislation does,” Ducey said.
Ducey's response was “appalling,” according to the Arizona director of the Human Rights Campaign, a national civil rights group that advocates for equality for LGBTQ people. The organization worked to ensure families and transgender young people came to the Capitol to testify against the bills as the Republican-led House and Senate considered them this session.
“It's quite shocking that he can't even address trans people or even say that he thinks they exist,” Bridget Sharpe said.
Wednesday's signing of the two transgender bills and a third that bars abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy and is currently unconstitutional put Ducey right in the middle of two top issues national Republicans are highlighting in the runup to November's midterm elections.
Ducey also signed election legislation that minority Democrats said amounted to voter suppression by requiring longtime Arizonans to be thrown off the voter rolls if they did not prove their citizenship and residence location.
The governor leads the Republican Governors Association, which is charged with helping elect GOP chief executives in U.S. states. He in is the last year of his second term as Arizona governor and term limits bar him from seeking reelection.
The top Democrat in the state House, Rep. Reginald Bolding, called Wednesday “probably one of the darkest days we've seen in the history of Arizona."
“With the stroke of a pen, Gov. Ducey has hurled Arizona backwards to its ugliest past,” Bolding said Wednesday. “And today, he put in jeopardy pregnant people, transgender youth in danger and curtailed voting rights for people of color.”
Social conservative groups and the Arizona Republican Party praised Ducey's action. The Center for Arizona Policy, whose president shepherded the abortion and women's sports bills through the Legislature, called it a victory.
"Thank you, Governor Ducey, for taking a bold stand for women athletes, vulnerable children, and the unborn by putting your signature on (the bills) in the face of intense opposition from activists," Center for Arizona Policy president Cathi Herrod said in a news release she posted on Twitter.
She said the legislation protects the unborn, ensures a level playing field for female athletes and shows that “Arizona will do everything it can to protect vulnerable children struggling with gender confusion” by enacting the surgery ban.
Ducey said the surgery ban protects children from irreversible decisions.
“These are permanent surgeries of reassignment that are irreversible, and those discussions can happen once adulthood is reached,” he said.
The American Civil Liberties Association has vowed to sue over the surgery ban. U.S. Supreme Court precedent currently says women have a constitutional right to abortion until about 24 weeks of pregnancy, although it is considering whether to uphold a 15-week ban enacted in Mississippi and may overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision enshrining a woman's right to choose.
Arizona joins 13 other states in enacting laws preventing transgender girls and women from playing on girls teams. Utah Gov. Spencer Cox vetoed a transgender sports ban in his state, saying it would harm transgender girls, but the Legislature overrode the veto. Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb also vetoed a sports bill, but lawmakers hope to override his action as well. | https://www.manisteenews.com/news/article/Arizona-governor-won-t-say-transgender-people-17049806.php | 2022-04-01T01:38:00Z |

We love flashbacks to ’80s fashion, and Reebok’s classic white sneakers ($80) are as comfortable as they are cool.
Sydney Sweeney, Meghan Markle, Gigi Hadid, Reese Witherspoon and Emily Ratajkowski are among the many stars who have stepped out in Reebok’s famous tan-soled snow sneakers, and the perpetually out-of-stock style is finally back in stock.
Sweeney teamed her white Reeboks with knee-high white socks, an oversized button-down shirt, and a pair of jean shorts in February, looking casually cool as she strolled the sidewalks.
In early 2022, the “Euphoria” star paired her favorite sneakers with a matching White Fox crop top ($45) and Mistress Rocks tan cargo pants ($75).
Sweeney wore a low-cut crop top with her favorite Reeboks in February.BACKGRID
You’re in good company, as many more celebrities have been photographed strolling around in their bright white Reeboks while off duty.
In her pre-royalty days, Meghan Markle used to go to yoga classes or run around Toronto in classic Reebok style, while Witherspoon has taken hers for a bike ride.
Joe Jonas rocked his Reeboks while taking a sunny walk with wife Sophie Turner in February 2022.

The unisex shoe has also proven a hit with male celebrities like Joe Jonas, who frequently wears his Reeboks with his wife, Sophie Turner, who is pregnant with the couple’s second child.
Proving that a true classic never goes out of style, the brand’s famous white sneakers were out of stock for weeks, but the shoes were finally restocked on Thursday.

Florida High School Runner Won't Press Charges After Being Punched During Race
April 1, 2022A spokesperson for the Osceola County (Florida) Sheriff’s Office told TMZ that the high school track and field athlete who was sucker punched during a race last weekend has declined to press charges.
Footage surfaced online this week of a runner approaching another athlete from behind and punching him in the back of the head at the Tohopekaliga Tiger Invitational in Kissimmee, Florida on Saturday. The punched runner fell to the ground as spectators sounded very upset, but the race continued as other athletes ran around him.
The runner who threw the punch also declined to press charges for contact made between the two of them prior to the incident.
According to Jordan Rose of Complex, the altercation was caused by the runner in the black uniform standing on the track during a race he wasn't a part of. He apparently refused to move for the other runners, and the student in the red and white uniform "bumped him to get out of the way."
The athlete in the black uniform then waited for the other runner to come around after another lap, ran behind him and punched him in the back of the head. Eventually, the runner reportedly got up and finished the race.
Police were called after the incident, but no arrests were made. According to TMZ, Orange County Public Schools are cooperating with Florida High School Athletic Association officials to determine potential discipline in the case. | https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10031380-florida-high-school-runner-wont-press-charges-after-being-punched-during-race | 2022-04-01T01:38:05Z |
Glasgow’s Shucks restaurant opens in style
The latest addition to Glasgow’s ever expanding foodie scene has opened its doors to the public.
Shucks is brought to you by Paul and Chris Charalambous, the team behind Michelin starred Cail Bruich, as well as Brett and Epicures. This time they have teamed up with serial entrepreneur Oli Norman, the man behind itison, to open this fine dining seafood experience.
If the preview night last week is anything to go by, diners are in for an absolute treat. Situated in Hyndland in what used to be Nick’s Bar, the transformation is remarkable. Glasgow’s beautiful people were out in force and were greeted by a warm and welcoming orange glow from the external lighting – along with a glass of very nice bubbly obviously.
Inside customers are immediately met by the hugely impressive bar area, all gleaming with brass fixtures and plush bar stools. Dining is spread over two floors of effortlessly cool décor with an industrial-chic vibe. Hanging pendant light bulbs abound and with bare brick to the fore and some creative use of rope for screening, you might just be in one of the coolest loft conversions this side of Manhattan.
So, if the décor ticks all the right boxes, what about the food?
Well, the preview night wasn’t about the full dining experience, it was more about sampling little nuggets of fresh seafood loveliness. Local fish merchant John Vallance supplies fully traceable and ecologically approved seafood from sustainable sources, and this reflects in the taste. Heading up the kitchen is Shaun Haggarty, previously head chef at Cail Bruich, who is combining his passion for Scottish fish and shellfish with Asian influences from his international career.
We began with a selection of some of the freshest oysters I have tasted. The absolute star was the oyster drowned in 15-year-old Bowmore. My dining companion, who is not a huge whisky fan, was absolutely blown away by how much the sea water smoothed the whisky and let the oyster sing.
We followed this with beautifully plump clams cooked in champagne with green chilli and coriander which were absolutely stunning in their simplicity. As the impeccable waiting team kept our glasses topped up from the champagne and wine stations we were also treated to a gorgeous hors d’oeuvres with gilda-house preserved sardine, smoked olive and guindilla chilli. I’d order it by the bucket load. One final morsel of impeccably cooked turbot ended our evening and we left absolutely certain that the Charalambous brothers have added another jewel in Glasgow’s culinary crown and that my partner and I will return soon for the full dining experience.
The drinks menu at Shucks includes a champagne trolley and seasonal cocktails focusing on providing a progressive drinks selection as well as a curated wine list by the group’s head sommelier. To find out more about the 80-cover seafood restaurant, bar and outdoor terrace, please click here.

Machine Gun Kelly said he was “totally” next to best friend Pete Davidson amid comedian Kanye West’s drama.
“At the end of the day, man, we’re young people trying to find our place in the world and figure it out, and it doesn’t really help when you have a million different voices tearing you apart or telling you ‘You’re doing this wrong,'” Kelly said Wednesday on SiriusXM’s Howard Stern show.
“We’re all just figuring it out, man. This is life,” he continued. “We love everyone, man. We have so much love. It’s almost like if we need to be vessels for people’s anger, then so be it. That must be why we’re here. I really hope they can feel our spirit and see that we love you.”
As for how Kelly feels about Davidson’s relationship with West’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, he’s very excited.
“I’m so happy for him,” the 31—year-old Emo Girl singer shared.
West, 44, terrorized the 28-year-old star of the Saturday Night Live show for weeks with his art and on Instagram before he was blocked from the app earlier this month. In his song “Eazy”, he said he wanted to “kick Pete Davidson’s ass” and also released a music video in which a version of the Claymation comic was forcibly abducted and buried alive.
It got to the point that the 41-year-old Kardashian had to publicly beg West to stop this farce, because she feared for Davidson’s safety.
The Grammy winner also dragged the reality TV star on Instagram, claiming that she prevented him from seeing their four children: North, 8 years old, Saint, 6 years old, Chicago, 4 years old, and Psalm, 2 years old.
However, Kardashian called the accusation false, writing on social media: “Please stop this story, you were here this morning to take the kids to school.”
West was finally kicked off Instagram after he posted a racist insult to Trevor Noah, who called him on “The Daily Show” for his abusive behavior towards the Kardashians.
Davidson remained largely silent during the ordeal, although he texted West that he was “in bed with [his] wife.” And while West tried to present Davidson as a bad guy, the “King of Staten Island” star revealed that he tried to contact the rapper to solve their problems in secret from the public.
West has remained silent on social media since the temporary ban… at least for now.
Davidson and Kardashian have been dating since October 2021. She filed for divorce from West in February 2021 and was officially declared unmarried earlier this month. | https://www.somagnews.com/machine-gun-kelly-fully-supports-pete-davidson-amid-kanye-west-feud/ | 2022-04-01T01:38:05Z |
