Magnolia and Meralco are set to collide in a series-deciding Game 5 in the PBA Governors' Cup on Friday for a chance to face Barangay Ginebra in the finals.
If Meralco wins, the Bolts will get a fourth chance in claiming the Governors' Cup title against their perennial rivals.
If the Hotshots go through, then it will become a Manila Clasico series.
Tip-off is at 6 p.m. at Araneta Coliseum.
"We're ready, physically and mentally, for Game 5," said Magnolia coach Chito Victolero in the PBA website.
"It's a do-or-die, so we expect a very physical game. We just have to have the proper mindset and mental toughness on both ends if we want to succeed."
Meralco coach Norman Black said his squad must match Magnolia's energy.
"They played with a lot more energy than us," he said while citing Magnolia's 57-40 edge in rebounding last Wednesday.
"The fact that they dominated the rebounds, really got a lot of offensive rebounds off of us, showed they were very aggressive. We've been doing a really good job of rebounding in this conference but in Game 4, we got dominated on the boards and that's something we have to fix before Friday."
Both teams are also dealing with similar problems heading into Game 5.
Meralco's Chris Banchero, a factor in the Bolts' Game 3 win, is being limited by back spasm and chest issues.
"I'm hoping that Thursday's break will give him a chance to heal up and be able to come back on Friday," said Black.
Magnolia, on the other hand, has Paul Lee hobbling with an ankle sprain.
"Malaking bagay para sa amin si Paul. Sana maka-rekober siya in time for Friday," said Victolero. | https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/04/01/22/meralco-magnolia-clash-for-last-ticket-to-finals | 2022-04-01T01:43:55Z |
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — A $64.1 billion supplemental state budget that spends on statewide programs ranging from homelessness and behavioral health to the ongoing COVID-19 response was signed Thursday by Washington Gov. Jay Inslee.
The supplemental plan builds off of the $59 billion, two-year spending plan adopted by the Legislature last year, and benefited from the significant influx of revenues the state has seen over the past year. Additionally, lawmakers used more than $1 billion in remaining pandemic-related federal relief funds in the budget.
More than $800 million is allocated for homelessness and housing, including $50 million to transition unhoused people from unsanctioned camps to housing.
Inslee specifically called out the efforts on addressing homelessness, saying that lawmakers “gave us relief that is big, that is bold, and that is fast.”
While there are no general tax increases in the plan, there are also no across-the-board tax cuts, something Republicans had argued for throughout the legislative session that ended March 10.
“It’s been easy to explain to my constituents why Republicans opposed this budget – all I have to do is point to how the costs of living have continued to rise in the weeks since it was adopted, and the huge revenue surplus the Democrats had available,“ Republican Sen. Lynda Wilson said in a statement.
A small business tax credit was included that would affect about 125,000 small businesses in the state, and was among the bills signed by Inslee Thursday.
Starting in January, businesses making less than $125,000 a year would pay no state business taxes, and those making up to $250,000 a year, business taxes will be cut in half.
The supplemental operating budget also spends state or federal money on things like adding more social supports like nurses and counselors for students, increasing rates to vendors providing services to people with developmental disabilities or long-term care needs and shoring up the state’s paid family leave program, which officials warned was nearing a deficit.
It also allots funding for raises for state workers. According to the Office of Financial Management, about 63,800 general government employees will get a 3.25% general wage increase, about 6,700 state corrections workers will get a 4% general wage increase and about 1,200 state patrol officers will get a 10% general wage increase. The last general wage increase for represented employees was July 1, 2020.
The operating budget also transfers more than $2 billion to the nearly $17 billion, 16-year transportation revenue package that Inslee signed last week. The plan leaves about $3 billion in total reserves.
Inslee had several full or partial vetoes of bills, including a section of a bill that would have expanded the state’s existing warehouse sales and use tax to include smaller warehouses of at least 100,000 square feet. In his veto notice, Inslee said that while he understood the importance of manufacturing and warehousing to rural economies, he said the tax incentives in the bill were overly broad.
Inslee on Thursday also signed a $1.5 billion state construction budget that spends on areas ranging from housing, homelessness, behavioral health facilities, and seismic upgrades at public schools. | https://www.lmtonline.com/news/article/Washington-governor-signs-64-1-billion-17049827.php | 2022-04-01T01:43:56Z |
EPA upholds Trump-era decision not to regulate contaminant
By SUMAN NAISHADHAM
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — Upholding a Trump-era environmental policy, the Environmental Protection Agency says it will not regulate a drinking water contaminant that has been linked to brain damage in infants. The agency says the Trump administration’s decision in 2020 not to regulate perchlorate in drinking water was made with the “best available peer reviewed science.” The Trump administration had concluded that the chemical compound was not found widely enough in drinking water or at levels of public health concern to warrant federal regulation. That decision was one of many Trump-era rollbacks or eliminations of existing or pending public health and environmental protection. Environmental groups sharply criticized the Biden administration Thursday for not reversing that decision. | https://keyt.com/news/2022/03/31/epa-upholds-trump-era-decision-not-to-regulate-contaminant/ | 2022-04-01T01:43:56Z |

Samsung is making good on its promise from CES 2022 to bring NFTs to its TVs, by announcing a partnership with NFT auction site Nifty Gateway. In a press release, Nifty Gateway says that it’s “now integrated with Samsung’s NFT platform,” letting you “browse, display, and interact with NFTs” on the company’s “2022 premium TV product lines such as QLED and Neo QLED TV.” Nifty Gateway will also have an app on Samsung’s The Frame and Micro LED TVs.
Basically, you’ll be able to display NFTs on your Samsung TV. And maybe even buy or sell them, according to Decrypt, though it’s worth noting that Nifty Gateway is significantly more strict about who can sell artwork on its platform than OpenSea, the NFT marketplace most people will be familiar with. (Also, I don’t think I’d want to buy something much more expensive than a movie rental using a remote control, but maybe that’s just me.)
A Samsung presentation where it goes into some detail on the Nifty Gateway integration.
In an announcement stream, Samsung reiterated that its TVs will “optimize the settings for a faithful rendering of the artist’s intention” when you display an NFT. That’s good to hear — I’d be crushed if my Samsung TV displayed this NFT (created by one of the artists featured in Nifty Gateway’s press release) with anything but pixel-perfect accuracy.
Nifty Gateway’s integration will be part of Samsung’s Smart Hub, and it seems like Samsung’s intent is for you to display NFTs as ambient artwork. So say you’re watching a movie, like The Social Network, but decide to turn it off because you’re just so upset at seeing Mark Zuckerberg be mean to Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss. Your TV would then go into Ambient Mode, and display artwork from your curated gallery — which you could fill up with NFTs from Nifty Gateway… a platform owned by the Winklevoss twins. Does that basically make Samsung’s NFT integration a fancy screensaver? No, of course not. It makes it the future. | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/technology/samsung-details-how-its-tvs-will-become-nft-gateways/130513/ | 2022-04-01T01:43:57Z |
Singapore Stock Market Likely To See Continued Consolidation
(RTTNews) - The Singapore stock market on Thursday snapped the six-day winning streak in which it had improved almost 95 points or 2.8 percent. The Straits Times Index now sits just beneath the 3,410-point plateau and it may take further damage on Friday.
The global forecast for the Asian markets is soft, with oil and technology stocks expected to lead the way lower. The European and U.S. markets were down and the Asian bourses are tipped to open in similar fashion.
The STI finished sharply lower on Thursday following losses from the financial shares, property stocks and industrial issues.
For the day, the index dropped 34.09 points or 0.99 percent to finish at the daily low of 3,408.52 after peaking at 3,449.53. Volume was 1.48 billion shares worth 1.4 billion Singapore dollars. There were 270 decliners and 203 gainers.
Among the actives, Ascendas REIT dropped 0.68 percent, while CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust declined 1.32 percent, City Developments tumbled 1.50 percent, Dairy Farm International and Jardine Cycle both improved 0.36 percent, DBS Group weakened 0.83 percent, Genting Singapore retreated 1.21 percent, Hongkong Land plummeted 2.78 percent, Keppel Corp skidded 1.08 percent, Mapletree Commercial Trust tanked 1.56 percent, Mapletree Logistics Trust stumbled 1.07 percent, Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation lost 0.56 percent, SATS slid 0.46 percent, SembCorp Industries surrendered 1.48 percent, Singapore Exchange advanced 0.81 percent, Singapore Technologies Engineering fell 0.48 percent, SingTel sank 0.75 percent, Thai Beverage gained 0.70 percent, United Overseas Bank slumped 0.90 percent, Wilmar International plunged 2.69 percent, Yangzijiang Shipbuilding shed 0.65 percent and Singapore Airlines, Singapore Press Holdings and Comfort DelGro were unchanged.
The lead from Wall Street is negative as the major averages opened lower on Thursday and the losses accelerated as the session progressed, finishing solidly in the red.
The Dow plummeted 550.46 points or 1.56 percent to finish at 34,678.35, while the NASDAQ plunged 221.76 points or 1.54 percent to close at 14,220.52 and the S&P 500 tumbled 72.04 points or 1.57 percent to end at 4,530.41.
Selling pressure picked up considerably in the final hour of the last trading day of the quarter, which marked the first negative quarter for the major averages since the first quarter of 2020.
For the first three months of 2022, the Nasdaq plummeted by 9.1 percent and the S&P 500 and Dow dove by 4.9 percent and 4.6 percent, respectively, although the major averages regained some ground in March.
Traders may also have been looking to safer havens ahead of the release of the Labor Department's closely watched monthly employment report later today.
Crude oil prices drifted plummeted on Thursday after U.S. President Joe Biden authorized the release of 1 million barrels of oil per day from the nation's Strategic Petroleum Reserve for the next six months. West Texas International Crude oil futures for May ended lower by $7.54 or 7 percent at $100.28 a barrel, the lowest close since March 16.

1 in 20 New Jersey heart attacks caused by noise pollution, study says
A recent study presented to the American College of Cardiology concludes that living next to train tracks, airports and noisy highways is more than a mere annoyance: It could also cause a heart attack.
The study, presented at the American College of Cardiology's 71st Annual Scientific Session, looked at heart attack rates among nearly 16,000 New Jersey residents hospitalized for a heart attack in 2018, according to the ACC. Researchers used a database that records all cardiovascular hospitalizations in the state, as well as data from the state's Bureau of Transportation Statistics to calculate noise levels.
Patients were divided into two groups: those who experienced noise levels of 65 decibels or higher (equivalent to a loud conversation or laughter) and those with low noise exposure (less than 50 decibels a day).
Dr. Abel Moreyra, a cardiology professor at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and the study’s lead author, said the heart attack rate was 72% higher in places with high levels of noise pollution. Researchers later concluded that high noise exposure was responsible for about 1 in 20 heart attacks in New Jersey.
RELATED: Study: Wildfires from Washington, other states produced up to half of pollution in western U.S.
"As cardiologists, we are used to thinking about many traditional risk factors such as smoking, hypertension or diabetes," Moreyra said in a news release. "This study and others suggest maybe we should start thinking about air pollution and noise pollution as additional risk factors for cardiovascular disease."
The study is one of the first to look at the link between noise and heart disease in America, but researchers said it aligns with other studies done in Europe.
Moreyra said other dense urban areas would likely see a similar pattern.
The study didn’t examine the biology behind the link, but noise can cause chronic stress, sleep loss, anxiety and depression, all of which can impact heart health, Moreyra said. Living near transportation infrastructure also brings more exposure to vehicle exhaust and other pollution that increase rates of heart disease.
RELATED: What is net-zero living and why experts say it’s worth it
"Air pollution and noise go hand-in-hand," Moreyra said. "The question is: how much of this effect is due to particle pollution, and how much is noise?"
There is a caveat in the findings: Researchers didn’t account for demographic, socioeconomic or other health risk factors. They also didn’t look for noise exposure at work or other places.

The next step is for researchers to look at which sources of transportation noise could have the biggest impact on public health. | https://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/1-in-20-new-jersey-heart-attacks-caused-by-noise-pollution-study-says | 2022-04-01T01:43:58Z |

Indian Premier League 2022 | Badoni a great find for India, an asset for white-ball cricket: KL Rahul
Mumbai April 01, 2022 05:20 ISTAyush Badoni scored 19 not out in 9 balls against CSK and had scored a half-century in the previous game
Lucknow Super Giants skipper KL Rahul said Ayush Badoni is a strong 360-degree player and an asset for white-ball cricket in India, after the youngster displayed his skills with the bat in a six-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings in the IPL on Thursday.
Badoni (19 not out in 9 balls), who scored a half-century in the previous game, joined forces with Evin Lewis (55 not out) towards the end to help the Super Giants chase down a mammoth 211-run target.
"Badoni, I'd seen a few videos, when you only get to see the good shots, but the way he's been batting is phenomenal.
"Strong, 360-degree player, a great find for India and an asset for white-ball cricket," Rahul said at the post-match presentation here.
The skipper also lavished praise on another youngster — leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi — who did a brilliant job with the ball and was the most economical bowler for his side, registering figures of 2/24.
"Bishnoi has a big heart, he's a fighter for a little guy, shows the character he has to bounce back (from the last game) with a wet ball. Really happy for him, he wants to grow, wants to learn, and good to see that," Rahul added.
CSK captain Ravindra Jadeja rued the missed catches by his team, including the drop catch by Moeen Ali off Quinton de Kock on 30. De Kock went on to make 61.
"We had a very good start, Robbie (Uthappa) and Shivam Dube were playing brilliantly. We had a good start, but in fielding, we have to take catches then you'll win matches. We should have taken those chances.
"There was a lot of dew, the ball wasn't sticking to the hand. Next time, we have to practise with the wet ball. We batted brilliantly in the top six and in the middle overs. The wicket was very good to bat on. As a bowling unit, we need to execute our plans." | https://www.thehindu.com/sport/cricket/indian-premier-league-2022-badoni-a-great-find-for-india-an-asset-for-white-ball-cricket-kl-rahul/article65279527.ece/amp/ | 2022-04-01T01:43:57Z |

Almost all post-COVID neuropathy appears due to infection-triggered immune dysfunction that is potentially treatable. During the COVID-19 pandemic, some people infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus continue to experience “long-COVID” symptoms persisting at least three months after recovery from COVID, even after mild cases. These include difficulty getting through normal activities, faintness and rapid heart rate, shortness of breath, cognitive difficulties, chronic pain, sensory abnormalities, and muscle weakness. A new study led by researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and the National Institutes of Health suggests that some patients with long-COVID have long-lasting nerve damage that appears caused by infection-triggered immune dysfunction. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2556717693380/health-and-wellness-the-risks-of-mouth-breathing | 2022-04-01T01:43:58Z |
EDINBURGH, Ind. (WXIN) – Scientists believe the loud boom that was heard across several counties in South Central Indiana recently was caused by a meteor explosion.
Scientists at Purdue watched surveillance videos that captured the noise and believe the boom can be attributed to an “air burst.”
“Essentially when a meteor is entering the atmosphere it will essentially explode in the atmosphere and they can make a loud boom,” Purdue planetary scientist Brandon Johnson said.
Johnson said it’s likely similar to the “air burst” that happened in the skies over Chelyabinsk in Russia back in 2013. That incident lit up the sky and caused major damage on the ground.
“If it was big enough to make that loud an explosion it should’ve been seen but it was a pretty cloudy day,” Johnson said. “If there was enough cloud cover it’s possible that no one saw it but it still did occur above the clouds.”
The boom was large enough to show up on seismic scales at Indiana University.
“There was a significant pulse of seismic energy recorded on our instruments at 12:44 p.m. yesterday,” geophysics professor Michael Hamburger said. “If this coincides with the timing of the reports, it is likely the result of the sonic disturbance experienced by local residents.”
The American Meteor Society said it took two reports of meteor sightings yesterday afternoon. One of those reports came in from Columbus, the other from Bloomington.
Based on those reports the society was able to triangulate the impacted location and said it was likely a “fireball meteor.”
Johnson said it’s a good reminder that a lot happens out in space.
“It’s a reminder that we need to stay vigilant and know how to protect ourselves and detect these before they happen,” Johnson said.
Johnson said that if it was a meteor then it’s likely that parts of it made it to the ground.
He said they’ll likely be small rocks with a black coating on them.
The American Meteor Society is encouraging anyone who saw anything to report it to them. You can report those at amsmeteors.org. | https://wgnradio.com/news/loud-boom-caught-on-camera-in-indiana-believed-to-be-meteor-explosion/ | 2022-04-01T01:43:59Z |
BERLIN (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin insisted Thursday that the country’s natural gas must be paid for with rubles, a demand apparently intended to help bolster the Russian currency but one that European leaders say they will not comply with because it violates the terms of contracts and sanctions.
Putin said Russia will start accepting ruble payments Friday and gas supplies will be cut off if buyers don’t agree to the new conditions, including opening ruble accounts in Russian banks, from which the gas payments will be made.
“If these payments are not made, we will consider it a failure of the buyer to fulfill its obligations, with all the ensuing consequences,” Putin said.
European leaders cautiously insisted they will continue to pay for natural gas in euros and dollars and want to see the fine print of how the Kremlin will implement its decree. It came a day after the leaders of Italy and Germany said they received assurances from Putin about gas supplies.
Putin announced last week the countries deemed “unfriendly” for imposing sanctions on Russia over its war in Ukraine must pay for natural gas only in Russian currency. His proposal has caused natural gas prices to gyrate and raised fears it could be a prelude to an interruption of supplies to Europe, which is heavily dependent on Russian natural gas and would struggle with a sudden cutoff. At the same time, Russia depends on oil and gas sales for much of its government revenue at a time its economy is under severe stress from Western sanctions.
Putin’s demand appeared to be part of Russia’s efforts to boost the ruble after the currency plunged under Western sanctions. After dropping as low as 143 rubles to the dollar in early March, on Thursday it took 82 rubles to buy a dollar, around the same level as the day Russia launched its invasion.
Economists say switching the gas payments to rubles would do little to support the Russian currency, since gas exporter Gazprom has to sell 80% of its foreign currency earnings for rubles anyway. The White House said Thursday that the ruble is no longer a reliable measure of Russia’s economy because it’s being artificially propped up.
Analysts at Evercore ISI said Putin’s primary motive seems to be “to prove he can bend EU leaders to his will.” They also said that even if Russia is able to force the EU to pay for gas in rubles, the European countries could retaliate by imposing more tariffs on Russian oil imports or banning them outright. While Russia could eventually sell the oil, the price would likely be at a steep discount, the analysts said.
The decree Putin signed and state news agency RIA Novosti published says a designated bank will open two accounts for each buyer, one in foreign currency and one in rubles. Buyers will pay in foreign currency and authorize the bank to sell it for rubles on Moscow’s currency exchange. The rubles would then be placed in the second account, where the gas is formally purchased.
People are “wondering what Putin is up to,” said Tim Ash, senior emerging markets sovereign strategist at BlueBay Asset Management. Putin may have read the German government’s unwillingness to boycott Russian energy “as weakness and is now trying to engineer this energy crisis … the solution here is to call Putin’s bluff and say, sure, cut off energy supplies and see who breaks first.”

Ex-minor leaguer ran major league sports betting operation
By BRIAN MELLEY
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Federal prosecutors say a former minor league pitcher was the ringleader of an illegal sports betting operation in California that used former pro athletes as bookies and active players as clients. Prosecutors said Thursday that Wayne Nix has agreed to plead guilty to conspiring to run an illegal gambling operation. They say he used his sports connections to recruit three former Major League Baseball players and a former pro football player as bookies. Clients included an MLB coach who lost $4,000 at one point and a professional football player who lost $245,000. One client wagered $5 million on the Super Bowl. | https://keyt.com/news/2022/03/31/ex-minor-leaguer-ran-major-league-sports-betting-operation-2/ | 2022-04-01T01:44:02Z |
They didn’t do their homework!
The lawmakers in Albany who initially passed the controversial bail reforms failed to require that state agencies perform a baseline analysis of its impacts — making it impossible to determine what effect the law has had on crime in the Big Apple, The Post has learned.
The egregious omission came to light as the fight over the law once again takes center stage in Albany. Gov. Kathy Hochul is pushing to trim the reforms back as part of the Empire State’s must-pass budget, which are fiercely opposed by progressive-led Democrats in control of the legislature.
The enacted legislation required the state agencies that oversee the court system and criminal arrests to track cases, but only after the law took effect. It included no provision to create a baseline for comparison by reviewing cases before the legislation kicked in — and the agencies have refused to produce one in response to media requests.
“You can’t accurately make good tweaks unless you have a comprehensive dataset to compare it against,” said Chris Herrmann, an assistant professor at CUNY’s John Jay College of Criminal Justice who once served as a crime statistics expert at the NYPD. “Shame on them for not have a comparative year for bail reform data and shame on them [lawmakers] for putting analysts and reporter in this position to not have it. That’s on them.”
Criminal justice experts, like Herrmann, say the failure has left New York policymakers flying blind as reform critics and proponents battle over what role, if any, the bail changes have played in the Big Apple’s spike in shootings and murders.
“There’s no way to understand if a law is working if you can’t measure how it operated before the change,” said John Pfaff, a criminal law professor at Fordham University. “The whole point of reform is to make things better, but you can’t tell if that’s happening if you can’t compare it to how things were before.”
The two agencies tasked with keeping the data for the state — the Office of Court Administration and the Division of Criminal Justice Services — have published a database that contains information for the first 18 months-worth of cases that were arraigned after the law took effect, spanning from January 2020 through June 2021.
But they’ve refused requests from The Post to perform the analysis or to provide the underlying data for cases from before the law took effect, claiming it was exempt from release.
Legislative sources said the administration of disgraced ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo was “very against and fought tooth and nail against any previous data.”
“It was not our recollection that any of this came up,” responded an ex-official from the administration.
The information void has helped turn the reforms into a lightning rod as the Big Apple battles a surge in shootings and homicides.
Mayor Eric Adams and other critics have linked the bloodshed to bail reform and launched a highly public effort to cajole changes from Albany’s top lawmakers, state Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins and Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie.
Reform boosters argue the spike in fatal gunplay is linked to a national pandemic-driven uptick in violent crime that’s been exacerbated by frayed relationships between police and minority communities and accuse Hizzoner and others of fear-mongering.
“We are concerned — as everyone is — about the spike in crime,” said Stewart-Cousins (D-Westchester) during a press conference in February. “But there is no connection between our bail reform and the national spike in crime.”
The month before, Heastie called the bail blame a “scapegoat,” telling reporters that “Part of my frustration is that when anything bad that happens, it’s got to be bail reform’s fault.”
That back and forth is symptomatic of the failure to publish data that would allow the public and press to evaluate how the system worked before and after the changes.
“The bail reform law addressed many important inequalities in the system but there are serious issues being raised now about its impacts on violent crime and those issue need to be addressed,” said Richard Aborn, who heads the Citizens Crime Commission and has been repeatedly called on to probe the inner workings of the NYPD. “But in order to do so it is imperative that we have a common set of facts.”
Representatives for Heastie and Stewart-Cousins did not respond to requests for comment.

Arson investigation: El Mirage Police arrest man in connection with domestic violence incident
EL MIRAGE, Ariz. - Officials with the El Mirage Police Department say they have arrested a man in connection with a domestic violence incident that allegedly escalated to arson.
According to a spokesperson with El Mirage Police, 30-year-old Jajuann Ernest Robert Jones has been booked into Maricopa County Jail, and is accused of committing multiple offenses, including attempted first degree murder, arson of occupied structure, and reckless endangerment.
Investigators allege Jones is connected with various incidents, the first of which happened on March 14, when El Mirage Police officers responded to an aggravated assault call at a home near Grand Avenue and Acoma Drive. Officers later learned that the suspect, since identified as Jones, pointed a gun at a woman, identified as Jones' estranged wife, in front of her kids in this particular incident, and fled.
On the night of March 28, officers were called back to the house due to harassing calls Jones allegedly made to the victim. The calls included threats on the woman's life, and threats of physical harm. Hours later, during the early morning hours of March 29, crews responded to a fire call at the house. The fire, which was extinguished by neighbors, involved the home's front door, as well as a garage door. Officers who responded to the fire smelled a strong odor of gasoline, according to a statement released by police.
No one was injured, according to investigators, and fire officials conducted an arson investigation. Jones was later found at a Scottsdale hotel on March 30, and arrested on the afternoon of March 31.

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

In some studies, Utah ranks 39th out of all 50 states for eco-friendliness. Growing up my family made it a point to always separate our recyclables into bags. Once they filled up, we’d take them to a recycling site in which they’d count or weigh the recyclables. This instilled recycling habits that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. Now that I live on my own in Utah, I’ve realized how different my standards are from my peers. Utah’s government doesn’t have any prevalent incentives for everyday people to recycle. In contrast, Maine has the highest recycling rate in the US, with a whopping 72%. Maine requires any business with more than 15 employees to recycle. Although this may be an extreme step for the Utah legislature, they can make more progressive steps to make recycling more accessible, therefore increasing recycling rates. Ten states have established a bottle bill ranging from 5-15 cents. This serves as a downpayment with the purchase of plastic bottles and cans which will be returned to the consumer after the recyclables are turned in. The bottle bill doesn’t cost the government any money, making it a logical benefit to Utah’s environment. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2556717725569/letter-we-deserve-better-than-the-air-pollution-we-have | 2022-04-01T01:44:05Z |
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.

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

OTHER DEVELOPMENTS:
LVIV, Ukraine — The last Russian troops left the Chernobyl nuclear plant early Friday, according to the Ukrainian government agency responsible for the exclusion zone around the plant.
Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said Russian troops who dug trenches in the forest were exposed to radiation, but that could not be confirmed.
The Ukrainian nuclear operator company Energoatom said Thursday that Russian troops were headed toward Ukraine’s border with Belarus.
Energoatom said that the Russian military was also preparing to leave Slavutych, a nearby city where power plant workers live.

LVIV, Ukraine — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said after Russian troops withdrew from the north and center of the country, the situation has been heating up in the southeast where Russian forces are building up for new powerful attacks.
In his nighttime video address to the nation Thursday, Zelenskyy said it was heartening for all Ukrainians to see Russian troops retreating from north of Kyiv, from around the northern town of Chernihiv and from Sumy in the northeast. By he urged Ukrainians not to let up, saying the withdrawal was just a Russian tactic.
Zelenskyy said he spoke Thursday with European Council President Charles Michel and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, while his adviser spoke with U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan.
“We need more support from our partners right now when Russian troops are concentrating additional forces in certain areas,” Zelenskyy said.

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

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

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

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

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.”

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. The National Park Service says Betty Reid Soskin retired Thursday after more than 15 years at the Rosie the Riveter/World War Two Home Front National Historical Park in Richmond, California. Soskin led tours at the park and related her experience as a Black woman working on the home front during the war. Soskin was a civil rights activist and a businesswoman before she won a temporary Park Service position at the age of 84. She became a permanent employee in 2011. | https://keyt.com/news/2022/03/31/oldest-u-s-active-park-ranger-retires-at-100/ | 2022-04-01T01:44:09Z |
-
The Pallof press is a core exercise that works all the muscles of the abs, as well as glutes and back.
-
It may be more effective than a plank because it creates less strain on the wrists and lower back.
-
To perform it correctly, avoid rotating and scale the exercise by practicing static holds.
You don’t need to do plank exercises to build a strong, sculpted core, according to a personal trainer.
Planks can build muscle, but another, underrated exercise called the Pallof press is as good or better for working your abs, according to Noam Tamir, founder and CEO of TS Fitness in New York City.
“It incorporates the whole body but you’ll really feel it in the core,” he told Insider.
The Pallof press requires you to press out in front of you with a cable or resistance band, forcing your abs, lower body, arms, and back to work together, making it a great exercise for full-body stability, as well as a strong core.
The Pallof press works your abs, glutes and upper back while protecting your joints
To perform a Pallof press, position yourself parallel to the cable machine or resistance band, holding the handle or end at chest height. Make sure there’s tension in the band or cable. Slowly press out directly in front of you until your arms are fully extended, hold briefly, then return to the starting position with control. Make sure to switch sides to train your muscles evenly.
The exercise builds muscle by making your body work against the pressure of the band or cable, Tamir said, tapping into your whole core, from your glutes to your obliques, which are your side abs.
“You’re resisting rotation so it’s very functional,” he said.
The exercise also helps build stability in your shoulders and upper back, similar to a plank, but without the pressure on your wrists.
The Pallof press is also easier on your lower back than a plank, which can stress your lower back as you start to fatigue.
“With a plank, gravity is going straight down into your lower back, so you’re in a safer position with the Pallof press,” Tamir said.
If you have any knee issues, though, you may want to avoid the kneeling Pallof press and opt for standing or seated variations instead, he added.
Avoid common mistakes like rotating or not fully extending
The benefits of the Pallof press come from resisting the pull of the band or cable, so turning or tilting in the movement can defeat the purpose, according to Tamir.
“Positioning is really important. Press right out in front,” he said.
If you find yourself rotating through your hips or torso, or that you can’t fully extend to straight arms, you might be starting off too intensely and would be better off practicing a scaled version of the movement to nail proper form, Tamir said.
To scale the exercise for beginners, start with static holds or a wider base
If performing a rock-solid Palloff press is challenging, scale the exercise by practicing a static or isometric hold, Tamir said. Hold the cable or band in the extending position, squeezing your core and glutes, for as long as possible with good form, then rest and repeat.
You can also make the exercise easier by creating a more stable starting position. If you’re standing, that means stepping your feet wider apart, or use a half-kneeling position, which offers more stability than fully kneeling, Tamir said.

BOSTON (AP) — A bill aimed at banning discrimination based on natural and protective hairstyles in workplaces, school districts, and school-related organizations was unanimously approved Thursday by the Massachusetts Senate.
The vote comes two weeks after the Massachusetts House approved a similar bill.
Supporters say Black women in particular have faced pressure in school and the workplace to alter their hair to conform to policies biased against natural hairstyles.
The Senate added a provision to the House version of the bill that would include the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association to the list of school entities banned from adopting and implementing restrictions on natural hairstyles.
Advocates say the change will ensure those participating in sports and extracurricular activities will not be asked to change their natural or protective hairstyles in order to participate.
The bill has its roots in the case of a Massachusetts charter school that came under fire in 2017 for a policy of banning hair braid extensions. After intense criticism, the school abandoned the policy.
The U.S. House also approved a bill earlier this month that would bar discrimination against Black people who wear hairstyles like Afros, cornrows or tightly coiled twists in society, school and the workplace. The federal bill would explicitly say that such discrimination is a violation of federal civil rights law.
President Joe Biden has said he would sign the bill into law. It now heads to the U.S. Senate.
Lawmakers in the Massachusetts House and Senate now have to come up with a single version of the bill before taking a final vote and shipping it to Republican Gov. Charlie Baker for his signature.
If signed into law, Massachusetts would become the fifteenth state to adopt the measure, known as the CROWN Act. | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Bill-banning-hairstyle-bias-approved-by-17049811.php | 2022-04-01T01:44:09Z |
Lowering gas prices: President Biden releases 180M barrels of oil from strategic reserve
PHOENIX - Are Arizona gas prices about to go down? President Joe Biden is releasing 180 million barrels of oil over the next six months in hopes of making that happen. It's the largest release since America's Strategic Petroleum Reserve was created in 1974.
Experts say one million barrels a day will fill the gap created during the COVID-19 pandemic when supply and demand both went down, but you may want to pump the brakes before getting too excited about better prices at the pump.
$60, $80, $100 to fill up your tank? Arizonans have had enough.
"Before I used to put 11 gallons in my car, it was like, $30. That's a $25 difference now," said Sarhaa Azima, an Uber driver.
SUV driver Sammy Black says, "We need to get them lower than that. I don't know who we got to talk to… President Biden, what's up? Help us drop these prices, Biden."
"..the bottom line is if we want lower gas prices, we need to have more oil supply right now," said President Biden. He hears the cries for help, promising to flood the market by releasing one million barrels a day from the nation's strategic supply.
One Arizona State University economics professor calls it a good start, but a temporary fix.
"About adding one million barrels a day from the reserve. So that I can help a little bit in terms of oil prices and gasoline prices at the park," said Professor Lee McPheters.
McPheters says the U.S. uses about 20 million barrels of oil a day, but the global market is five times that at 100 million barrels a day.
"That’s gonna be a drop in the bucket for the global supply. Therefore, I would expect we’re looking at something on the range of a few cents at best."
Arizona drivers are currently paying the seventh-highest prices in the nation at $4.67 a gallon. And a price drop that's only a drop in the bucket isn't what they want to hear.
"I would like to see gas prices drop as soon as possible. Then we can get life back to normal. Because this is getting ridiculous," said Black.
There are a lot of factors in play from the pandemic to the war in Ukraine and it's unclear if domestic oil producers will ramp up production – afraid of prices dropping again, and they'll be stuck with the bill.

(NEXSTAR) — Consumer goods company Unilever has initiated a voluntary recall of two of its Suave antiperspirant products due to concerns over benzene content – exposure to high levels of the chemical has been linked to several types of cancer.
The affected products are Suave 24-Hour Protection Aerosol Antiperspirants, both the “Fresh” and “Powder” scents. The 4-6 ounce spray cans feature the UPC codes:
- 079400751508
- 079400784902
- 079400785503
Items with these UPC codes and expiration dates through September 2023 are the only Unilever/Suave products affected by the recall.
Unilever explains that the antiperspirants themselves don’t contain benzene but a review showed “unexpected” levels from the propellant that sprays the product from the cans. The company says the 24-hour deodorant sprays were discontinued last year for unrelated business reasons and were previously in limited distribution at U.S. stores and online.
Retailers who carried the items have also been notified to pull any that remain, Unilever says. Anyone who has the affected products should discard them immediately.
Customers with questions or concerns can contact Unilever at (866) 204-9756. More information on the products and reimbursement can also be found at the Suave Recall page. The Food and Drug Administration says customers who may have experienced adverse reactions to the aerosols can report to its MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting.
Benzene
So what is benzene?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention explains that benzene is a colorless or yellow liquid when at room temperature. It can be naturally occurring – in volcanoes, forest fires and oil, for example – or found in human manufacturing.
Benzene is among the top 20 chemicals used in the U.S., the CDC says. It’s used to make plastics, nylons and some types of lubricants, rubbers, dyes, detergents and drugs. Tobacco smoke is a large source of benzene exposure to humans.
How is it harmful?
The CDC reports benzene damages the human body by causing cells to malfunction. For instance, bone marrow can stop producing adequate amounts of red blood cells. Additionally, it can cause changes in antibodies and white blood cell loss. Immediate symptoms of exposure include headaches, dizziness, tremors, vomiting and confusion.
Long-term exposure (longer than a year) can result in cancers, per the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. | https://wgnradio.com/news/some-suave-antiperspirants-recalled-due-to-high-levels-of-cancer-causing-chemical/ | 2022-04-01T01:44:11Z |

DAKAR, Senegal (AP) — The French medical charity Doctors Without Borders, or MSF, says that five of its employees have been released in Nigeria after being kidnapped last month in neighboring Cameroon.
Armed men kidnapped the MSF employees on Feb. 24 from the group’s base in Cameroon’s Far North region in Fotokol, which is near Nigeria and Chad. Those kidnapped and subsequently released include a Senegalese, Chadian and Franco-Ivorian along with their two Cameroon security guards.
The organization said the workers were released Wednesday in Nigeria and have been “taken to a safe place.”
“We are happy to find our colleagues safe and sound,” said the director general of the organization, Stephen Cornish. “We share the deep relief of their parents and loved ones, who were impatiently awaiting this news.”
The organization did not give details on the condition of the release.
Cheikh Ndiaye, the uncle of the Senegalese humanitarian who was taking hostages expressed his family’s relief.
”They are free. We were told they are in Nigeria. We rejoice and look forward with great relief to his return among us,” he said.
Islamic extremist groups Boko Haram and the Islamic State West Africa Province are known to carry out attacks in this region. | https://www.conchovalleyhomepage.com/news/national-news/medical-charity-says-5-abducted-workers-are-freed-in-nigeria/ | 2022-04-01T01:44:12Z |

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.wlky.com/article/oscars-producer-police-offered-arrest-will-smith/39603725 | 2022-04-01T01:44:15Z |

DELANO, Calif. (AP) — The death of an inmate at a central California prison is being investigated as a homicide, officials said Thursday.
Juan E. Mendoza, 26, was found unresponsive in his cell at Kern Valley State Prison shortly before 5 p.m. on Wednesday, according to a statement from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
He had visible injuries and died a short time later despite life-saving efforts.
Mendoza shared his cell with another man, Jorge L. Mendoza, who was removed from the cell and placed in segregation while the death is investigated, authorities said.
Juan E. Mendoza went to prison in 2020 after receiving a six-year sentence in San Bernardino County for second-degree attempted murder and personal use of a dangerous weapon, officials said.
Jorge L. Mendoza was admitted from Monterey County in 2018 and was serving a sentence of life with the chance of parole for second-degree murder with the use of a firearm by a second-striker.
Kern Valley State Prison is located in Delano, northwest of Bakersfield. It has more than 3,200 inmates. | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/California-prison-inmate-death-investigated-as-a-17049814.php | 2022-04-01T01:44:16Z |

Parent of transgender child speaks out after Arizona Governor Doug Ducey signs anti-trans bills
PHOENIX - Republican Gov. Doug Ducey has signed bills banning transgender girls from playing on girls' sports teams and prohibiting gender reassignment surgeries for minors.
The governor described Senate bills 1138 and 1165 as legislation to "protect female athletes" and "to ensure that individuals undergoing irreversible gender reassignment surgery are of adult age."
"This legislation is common-sense and narrowly-targeted to address these two specific issues — while ensuring that transgender individuals continue to receive the same dignity, respect and kindness as every individual in our society," Ducey said in a Twitter thread.
Two GOP governors last week bucked conservatives in their party and vetoed bills in Indiana and Utah requiring trans girls to play on boys sports teams.
Republicans have said blocking transgender players from girls sports teams would protect the integrity of women’s sports, fearing that trans athletes would have an advantage.
Many point to the transgender collegiate swimmer Lia Thomas, who won an individual title at the NCAA Women’s Division I Swimming and Diving Championship last week.
But there are few trans athletes in Arizona schools. Since 2017, about 16 trans athletes have received waivers to play on teams that align with their gender identities out of about 170,000 school-based athletes in the state, according to the Arizona Interscholastic Association.
"This bill to me is all about biology," said Republican Rep. Shawnna Bolick, who said she played on a coed team in the 1980s but could not have made the high school boys team. "In my opinion, its unfair to allow biological males to compete with biological girls sports."
RELATED: Arizona lawmakers move forward with bill banning transgender girls on women's sports teams
Critics said the legislation dehumanizes trans youth to address an issue that hasn’t been a problem.
"We’re talking about legislating bullying against children who are already struggling just to get by," said Democratic Rep. Kelli Butler. fighting back tears.
Until two years ago, no state had passed a law regulating gender-designated youth sports. But the issue has become front-and-center in Republican-led statehouses since Idaho lawmakers passed the nation’s first sports participation law in 2020. It’s now blocked in court, along with another in West Virginia.
"This bill is creating a pointless and harmful solution to a non-existent issue," Skyler Morrison, a 13-year-old transgender girl, told lawmakers during a committee hearing earlier this month. "It’s obvious this bill is just an excuse to discriminate against transgender girls."
Republicans around the country have leaned into culture war issues including transgender rights. The debate and vote on the transgender sports legislation came the same morning the House considered and passed a ban on abortions after 15-week gestation. Republicans said little during debates on all three bills.
‘It is irreversible’
Arizona is one of 20 states that have considered legislation to restrict gender-affirming health care. The bill originally would have banned all such care for minors but was scaled back to restrict only irreversible procedures, such as surgeries related to gender reassignment.
Similar legislation passed the Idaho House earlier this month but it died in the Senate amid concerns from some Republicans about restricting parental rights.
Supporters of the Arizona bill said it would prevent children from making permanent decisions that they might later come to regret. Republican Rep. John Kavanagh compared the vote to the Legislature’s unanimous decision in years past to ban genital mutilation.
"We should stand the same way today because this is mutilation of children," Kavanagh said. "It is irreversible. It is horrific."
Critics said the decision should be left to parents, their children and the health care team caring for them. They said surgeries are only performed after extensive care and therapy.
"We’re talking about our kids, who are already going to be taking the proper steps with their parents to be able to be who they are," said Democratic Rep. Andres Cano.
The bill originally would have banned all gender-affirming care, including hormone therapies and puberty blockers but was scaled back in the Senate.
Similar legislation passed the Idaho House earlier this month but died in the Senate, where some Republicans said they were concerned about restricting parental rights.
Parents, advocates speak out
On March 30, a day after the bills were signed into law by Gov. Ducey, parents and advocates expressed their devastation.
"It was a punch," said Ai Binh Ho. "It takes away our rights to make decisions together with our children."
Ho's four-year-old daughter is transgender.
"For me to say ‘you’ll never be part of a team,' I just don’t even know what to say, how to tell her that," said Ho. "It takes away that hope that we have for her."
President Joe Biden, meanwhile, promised his administration will stand up for the transgender community.
"The onslaught of anti-transgender state laws attacking you and your families is simply wrong," said the President.
On March 30, the U.S. Department of Justice sent a letter to states, warning it will go after states that practice unlawful discrimination based on gender identity. In response, Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich tweeted ‘See you in court (again).'
In the meantime, some parents are now thinking about leaving Arizona, for the sake of their kids.
"You know when she reaches the age where she wants the surgery, and is ready for the surgery -- we know that the surgery decreases suicide, it is a lifeline for her -- I think we will have to move," said Ho.

Kimbo Kush
- Image Not Found
About this product
Kimbo Kush is an indica-dominant strain bred by Exotic Genetics, who chose Blackberry Kush and Starfighter to Mother. This strain is named after the late Bahamian-American mixed martial artist and YouTube sensation Kimbo Slice. This focusing strain has bright yellowish-green colas and a sponge-like feel.

CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (AP) — More than a dozen migrants excitedly ran out of their dormitory at the Good Samaritan shelter here at the mere mention that the Biden administration may lift a rule that expels people at the border before they can request a chance at humanitarian protection in the United States.
They quizzed a reporter they’d overheard speak of the expected change in a rule that for the past two years has forced asylum seekers to wait at shelters in in Mexican border cities terrorized by organized crime.
At times the wait has seemed interminable. They struggle to find work, worry about debts accumulated to just reach the border and live in fear that they or their children could be snatched by drug cartels preying on the most vulnerable.
Migrants have been expelled more than 1.7 million times from the U.S. under public health powers invoked in March 2020 that are designed to prevent spread of Covid-19. The Biden administration plans to lift Title 42 authority – named for a 1944 public health law – by May 23, according to people familiar with the matter, with an official announcement expected as early as Friday. Near the height of the omicron variant in late January, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had extended the order to this week.
Reaction at migrant shelters in Ciudad Juarez shows the determination of many migrants to settle in the United States as soon as possible.
Most of the 63 people staying at Good Samaritan, across the border from El Paso, Texas, were women and their children from Mexico and Central America. The Rev. Juan Fierro, the shelter’s director, said the vast majority had either been expelled under Title 42 authority or were still waiting to try for asylum.
A group of women said that if Title 42 ended they would run to the bridge at the border to request asylum, because returning to their homes was not an option.
Melida Castro, a 32-year-old from Honduras, has been at the shelter for four months with her children, ages 3 and 8. “There’s nothing more for us to do but wait,” she said, explaining she had fled Honduras after a gang killed her uncle.
“I saw him die in my arms,” she said. Her family crossed the border once and turned themselves over to Border Patrol agents, but they were flown to El Paso and pushed back to Mexico. She said the agents mentioned Title 42, but didn’t explain what it meant.
While word of lifting the asylum limits provided a glimmer of hope, the possibility was also met with suspicion.
Delaying the lifting until late May, when the Biden administration has had more than a year in office to prepare, struck some as a way to buy time until the U.S. government can come up with another obstacle.
“Suddenly they’re going to say, ‘We’re not going to lift it,’” said Victor Sanchez, who fled Honduras with his wife and her three younger siblings. They have been staying at another shelter in Ciudad Juarez for a month.
The nine-bedroom concrete Oscar Romero House shelter clusters around a small courtyard with a pomegranate tree where children play after returning from school. The parents sit on the second floor terrace, fearful to go outside, sharing care of the youngest children and looking across the dusty desert cityscape to the mountains of El Paso less than 10 miles away.
Katherine, Sanchez’s wife, had a baby while in Mexico. “If we have to wait, we wait,” she said. “Now that there are organizations that can help us, we’ll wait for a legal way.”
There have been signs that the Biden administration has been preparing for an expected surge of asylum seekers trying to make their way to the border.
Two weeks ago, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas visited Mexico and Costa Rica to discuss managing migration flows. Without providing details, Mayorkas said he had reached a “migration arrangement” with Costa Rica.
In his State of the Union Address this month, President Joe Biden had said, “We’re securing commitments and supporting partners in South and Central America to host more refugees and secure their own borders.”
Both Mexico and Costa Rica are taking in substantial numbers of asylum seekers that in many cases would otherwise try to enter the United States. They could also be critical in trying to control the flow of migrants to the U.S. border.
Last month, Costa Rica started requiring visas for Venezuelans and Cubans, a step toward slowing their migration north. Mexico already required visas of Cubans and added Venezuelans in January.
Still, large numbers of migrants have been reaching the border. The Department of Homeland Security said Tuesday that about 7,100 migrants were coming daily, compared with an average of about 5,900 a day in February and on pace to match or exceed highs from last year, 2019 and other peak periods.
Camilo Cruz, a spokesman with the United Nations International Organization for Migration, said this week that every U.S. move on immigration affects migration flows in the region.
“It moves people, generates hope or some kind of speculation by the traffickers,” Cruz said. “That motivates people to come to try to cross the border.” He said the IOM supports a network of shelters along the border and has worked in recent years to build their capacity.
Immigration advocacy groups applauded the decision, which they universally viewed as long overdue. Like the migrants, some questioned the delay until late May when the Biden administration has had months to prepare.
“A phased wind-down strategy just further proves this was never about public health,” Erin Mazursky, interim director of Families Belong Together, a coalition of groups opposed to Trump-era immigration policies, said in a statement. “This policy was in place for two years too long and the reported decision to extend Title 42 until May 23rd is simply another excuse to expel more people. If the intent is to stop upending people’s lives and hold true to America’s commitment to asylum and due process, the expulsions must end now.”
U.S. Rep. Judy Chu, a Los Angeles-area Democrat, told reporters in a conference call Thursday that administration officials visited congressional offices this week to brief lawmakers and their staffs on plans for accommodating larger numbers of migrants — up to about three times the current flow under one scenario.
The administration is “working very hard at finding a way to process migrants lawfully, humanely and efficiently,” she said.

All my love and respect to my big brother Bruce Willis. 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 kid.
— M. Night Shyamalan ⌛ (@MNightShyamalan) March 31, 2022
I wanted to send some love to #BruceWillis. He’s the first celebrity I ever met. Back in the 90’s, touring with Second City at a show in Sun Valley,ID. Imagine our delight when we found out he was in the audience! He came backstage and couldn’t have been sweeter to us wannabes.❤️
— Rachel Dratch (@TheRealDratch) March 31, 2022
Long before any of the Cop Out stuff, I was a big Bruce Willis fan – so this is really heartbreaking to read. He loved to act and sing and the loss of that has to be devastating for him. I feel like an asshole for my petty complaints from 2010. So sorry to BW and his family. https://t.co/npSgvkb5v7
— KevinSmith (@ThatKevinSmith) March 30, 2022
If you love movies, you love #BruceWillis. He has embodied everything good about the word “entertainment” for decades. Kudos to his loving family for handling difficult news with dignity and grace.
I speak for the world when I say, “We love you, Bruce.” https://t.co/pzVFdFENW2

I’m very proud to have worked opposite the great Bruce Willis in one of his last movies. This is very sad.
Legend. https://t.co/ucxWKyQljW

So much love, light, prayers, and strength to Bruce Willis, his wife, children, @justdemi and their entire family during this time.
Have faith, there is hope and incredible geniuses at Mayo Clinic and NIH who work in neurology & study brains. Breakthroughs truly happen every day
— Meghan McCain (@MeghanMcCain) March 30, 2022
Producer Randall Emmett, who has worked with Willis on more than 20 films:
“Bruce and I have worked on over 20 films together. He is a terrific actor and legendary action star, an incredible father, and a close friend. I fully support Bruce and his family during this challenging time and admire him for his courage in battling this incredibly difficult medical condition. Bruce will always be part of our family.” | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/world/bruce-willis-saluted-by-john-travolta-haley-joel-osment-the-hamden-journal/130491/ | 2022-04-01T01:44:22Z |
Rain slows Augusta Women’s Amateur as no one left under par
By DOUG FERGUSON
AP Golf Writer
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Sixteen-year-old Anna Davis was among just nine players who have finished two rounds of the Augusta National Women’s Amateur. Rain was so heavy that it didn’t start until 3 p.m. Davis shot 76 and was the clubhouse leader at 2-over par. Three players were tied at even without finishing. Davis is virtually assured of making it to the final round Saturday at Augusta National. Friday will be a long and exciting day. Most players still have to finish the second round. And then all of them head to the home of the Masters for a practice round. | https://keyt.com/news/2022/03/31/rain-slows-augusta-womens-amateur-as-no-one-left-under-par-2/ | 2022-04-01T01:44:22Z |

Lemon Bar has a unique citrus and earthy aroma. Its lineage is Lemon G and Do Si Dos. The lively and calming effect of this sativa-leaning strain makes Lemon Bar a good choice for an indulgent occasion, yet it gives the option for some intensive work too. A high amount of pinene provides a clear-headed focus, while caryophyllene gives a relaxing sensation.

LONDON (AP) — OPEC and allied oil producers including Russia decided Thursday to stick to a modest increase in the amount of crude they pump to the world, a step that supports higher prices even as the Biden administration plans to try to lower them by releasing oil from strategic reserves.
The group, known as OPEC+, said it would add 432,000 barrels per day in May, as it works to gradually restore production cuts made during the depths of the coronavirus pandemic. That’s slightly up from 400,000 barrels in previous months, with officials saying they’re revising baseline production levels.
The alliance has been unmoved by pleas from oil-consuming countries to pump more oil as energy prices soar, fueling inflation worldwide. High prices have helped Russia — the world’s largest exporter with 12% of the global market — offset some of the economic pain from Western sanctions over its invasion of Ukraine.
The U.S. and European sanctions have dealt a severe blow to Russia’s economy but contain exceptions for energy payments. That is a U.S. concession to European allies who are much more dependent on Russian energy than the U.S., which has banned the import of Russian oil. Europe by contrast gets 40% of its natural gas and 25% of its oil from Russia, and officials there have shied away from a boycott, instead aiming to reduce dependency through conservation and boosting wind and solar energy as fast as they can over the next several years.
Oil prices have risen as global demand rebounded for fuel for cars, trucks and airplanes. The war pushed them ever higher over fears Russian oil might be lost to the market if sanctions tighten.
They have a major influence on how much U.S. drivers pay at the pump, with crude oil accounting for about half the price of a gallon of gas. To combat high gasoline prices — averaging $4.24, up $1.38 from a year ago — U.S. President Joe Biden is preparing to order the release of up to 1 million barrels per day from strategic petroleum reserves, with an announcement expected as soon Thursday.
Diesel fuel for trucks, farm equipment and factories has also jumped in price, to a U.S. average of $5.25 per gallon, up $2.02 from a year ago, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
In November, the White House announced the release of 50 million barrels in coordination with other countries, and after the war began, the U.S. and 30 other countries agreed on an additional release of 60 million barrels.
Oil prices slumped on expectations of a new release, but analysts at UniCredit bank said the impact of such moves on prices “is usually short-lived.” That’s because reserves are finite, and the production shortfall is open-ended. Once reserves fall below a certain level, the market might fear they would be insufficient to combat a further shortfall and prices would go up.
U.S. oil prices were down 6.3%, to $100.99, while international benchmark Brent crude dropped 5.6%, to $107.50. | https://www.conchovalleyhomepage.com/news/national-news/opec-likely-to-stick-to-modest-oil-boost-despite-war-jitters/ | 2022-04-01T01:44:24Z |

Rally kicks off Child Abuse Prevention month, highlights efforts to protect Kentucky, Indiana kids
Child abuse and neglect is a nationwide epidemic, and though statistics are improving in Kentucky and Indiana, advocates say until every child is free from abuse and violence, there's still work to do.
"Child abuse knows no special month, it is an all day, everyday issue," said Pam Darnall, president and CEO of Family & Children’s Place.
Protecting children from the harms of abuse has been an obligation for Family and Children's Place for more than a century. But, Darnall says the organization is not alone in the fight.
On Thursday, child advocates from local prosecutors to state leaders, rallied in Louisville to kick off National Child Abuse Prevention Month in April. Lt. Gov. Jacqueline Coleman, Sen. Morgan McGarvey, Rep. Attica Scott, and community partners like Kosair Charities were among the rally attendees.
"It takes state-level policies and support, and the direct service providers who are boots on the ground doing the grunt work, to really make sure that we're preventing child abuse and neglect," Darnall said.
The call to action also highlighted efforts and strategies already in place, including Gov. Andy Beshear's proposed state budget, which increases pay for social workers, fully funds Medicaid, and allows more money for child advocacy centers.
"It's simple. You put kids first, you take care of the people that take care of our kids, and you ensure that organizations have the resources they need to do what they've been asked to do," Coleman said.
With the third-largest child advocacy center in Kentucky and offices in southern Indiana, Family and Children's Place offers counseling, medical exams, mental health services and houses LMPD's Crimes Against Children Unit, as well as a branch of Child Protective Services.
All the services are free to the families.
"With our year that just ended in June, we saw almost 1,600 children just in this one service and that's the most we've seen in eight years," Darnall said. "We know that even though the number of reports of child abuse declined during the pandemic, child abuse and neglect has continued."
With Kentucky ranking fifth, and Indiana 11th in the nation for child abuse victims, Darnall says the community and these life-saving measures must be that glimmer of hope for children in their greatest time of need.
"While we personally may not be responsible, we are all accountable for the community that we build and the kind of community that we have our children and families to live in," she said. | https://www.wlky.com/article/rally-kicks-off-child-abuse-prevention-month-highlights-efforts-to-protect-kentucky-indiana-kids/39602601 | 2022-04-01T01:44:25Z |

Walt Disney World Resort — and other Disney Parks around the globe — would not operate without the efforts of their hard-working Cast Members each and every day.

Some Disney theme park jobs are more challenging than others and, while it might seem that the drivers at Kilimanjaro Safaris have one of the most enjoyable posts on Disney World property, they are also at the mercy of wild animals who do not understand they are living in a theme park attraction.

In a People Magazine article, one former Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park employee shared a tale about a particularly memorable encounter. The story begins:
“I drove the truck at Kilimanjaro Safaris at Animal Kingdom. I drove 40 guests at a time through a wildlife reserve with no fences. Most of the animals can wander right onto the road, blocking your path. Also, there are no tracks … so you’re really responsible for driving the truck, really responsible for the guests’ safety and really responsible for not running over a rhino – or, more realistically, not getting run over by a rhino. The animals are all real … many of the guests assume that they’re animatronic, but they’re not. There are natural barriers between predator and prey, so you’re not going to see a lion pounce on a zebra. But that doesn’t mean the animals can’t surprise you.”

The Cast Member’s anecdote continues, getting into the nitty-gritty of the situation:
“I’m driving and a rhino decides to take a nap in the road right in front of us. That means all trucks stop where they are until the rhino moves, because you’re not allowed to go off-road. We were stuck out there for more than an hour in a downpour. I know maybe eight facts about each animal, so I depleted my entire reservoir of facts within 30 minutes. The rest of it was all improv, trying to keep forty high-paying strangers entertained in an open-air truck that isn’t moving in a rainstorm for an hour.”

Q. We are moving to Florida. I purchased my home in 2000 for $488,000 and this has been our only home. We think the sale price will be in the $950,000 range, so we expect to be under the $500,000 exemption. If market conditions change and our home value rises above the $500,000 threshold, we have plenty of capital Improvements that would easily raise our basis. Would we pay the exit tax as long as we’re under the $500,000 gain? If we rent in New Jersey after the sale, how would that change the tax?
— Moving
A. We’re sorry to hear you’re leaving the state.
Let’s first clarify the what the so-called “exit tax” is.
It’s not a separate tax, said Howard Hook, a certified financial planner and certified public accountant with EKS Associates in Princeton.
Instead, it is a withholding tax requirement applicable to certain sellers of real property, such as your primary residence, he said.
“New Jersey uses the withholding requirement at the time of sale to make sure sellers report any gain on the sale on their New Jersey income tax return,” he said. “Those sellers required to have the tax withheld are calculated at the higher of 8.97% of the gain on the sale or 2% of the selling price.”
A New Jersey income tax return would be prepared for the tax year. If the tax is equal to or greater than the tax withheld, additional tax is due. A refund is processed if the tax is less than the amount withheld, Hook said.
There are exceptions as to who is required to withhold taxes at the time of sale.
“The most common exceptions are when the seller is a resident taxpayer or the property being sold was used exclusively as a principal residence and qualifies under IRS Code Sec 121 to exclude gain on the sale of a primary residence,” he said. “If these or the other 14 exceptions apply, the seller will complete a Form GIT/REP 3 acknowledging which exception applies to them.”
Now on to your specific circumstances.
Based on the fact pattern you provided, you would qualify under the primary residence exception and you will likely be under the $500,000 gain you mentioned, Hook said.
But if you exceed the $500,000 threshold, the New Jersey resident exception could also apply.
“For these purposes, New Jersey defines a resident as an individual who is and intends to continue to maintain a permanent place of abode in New Jersey on or after the day of transfer,” he said. “So if, on the date of sale, your `intention’ is to remain in New Jersey and rent, then the exception would apply.”
If you had already relocated out of the state or had no intention of staying, then the exception would not apply, and you would be required to have some of the tax withheld, Hook said.

The COVID-19 pandemic was hard on everyone, not least of all Judd Apatow. Among the many casualties was his last movie, “The King of Staten Island,” which was supposed to open the SXSW film festival, but had to cancel after America went into lockdown. When faced with such challenges, creative people create. Some made bread. Others grew out their beards. Judd Apatow made a movie. A very bad movie. In not-even-the-worst-thing-to-launch-on-Netflix-lately “The Bubble,” a team of insufferable Hollywood actors quarantine together on the set of a massively disorganized franchise movie and proceed to drive each other crazy. But hey, what did you do during COVID?
During her Oscar opening monologue, co-host Amy Schumer (star of Apatow’s far-better 2015 “Trainwreck”) took a moment to congratulate the audience. “During a raging pandemic, you made a movie. Give yourselves a hand,” she said. “And yet they weren’t all great. … You know who you are.” For every “Borat,” there seem to be a dozen like “The Bubble.” Apart from such heavy-hitting documentaries as “76 Days” and “The First Wave,” the movies made during the pandemic, about the pandemic have nearly all been awful. Still too soon? That wasn’t the issue. COVID is now a part of everyday life, and it’s only normal that movies should acknowledge it.
Early on, people desperately needed a distraction, and Netflix was the logical place for Apatow to give them one, since audiences turned to streaming while theaters were dark. Had “The Bubble” come out a year earlier, back when we were all still relatively isolated and looking for something to make us laugh, it might have seemed as welcome a corrective as the AstraZeneca vaccine (and a lot less likely to cause blood clots). But “The Bubble” got here late, and many of the jokes serve mostly to remind how irritating and sometimes illogical certain protocols were. Even bubbles proved to be fallible — the idea made sense in theory, but was only as safe as its weakest link — with many getting COVID all at once when someone broke the pact for a selfish reasons (like shagging a Spanish soccer player, “quaranteaming” in the same hotel).
Apatow rounded up a bunch of very funny people — wife Leslie Mann, daughter Iris Apatow, Emmy winner Keegan-Michael Key, Oscar nominee Maria Bakalova, David Duchovny, Fred Armisen and more — and cast them as the crew that comes together to make a generic flying-dinosaur sequel, “Cliff Beasts 6.” Like a cross between the latest “Jurassic World” and “Resident Evil” movies (both of which were made under COVID-safe conditions), this gratuitous sequel to a mostly-greenscreen franchise serves as Apatow’s chance to skewer the kind of brainless, vfx-driven studio movies that have made adult comedies something of an endangered species. This is his “Tropic Thunder,” with more inside jokes and a lot less for mainstream audiences to recognize or relate to.
After skipping the previous “Cliff Beasts” movie to make a critically derided issue movie, “Jerusalem Rising 2,” actor Carol Cobb (Karen Gillan) reluctantly agrees to leave her boyfriend for three months and fly to England, where the ensemble — a squabbling and somewhat incestuous surrogate family who’ve been together since over five installments — has agreed to self-isolate for two weeks before what’s intended to be a three-month shoot. Kate McKinnon shows up as a studio exec who checks in from time to time via video chat from far-flung vacation spots. Otherwise, it’s up to producer Gavin (Peter Serafinowicz) and a pair of COVID compliance officers to babysit this unruly bunch, played by Samson Kayo and Harry Trevaldwyn (there’s at least one breakout in every Apatow movie, and this Instagram impressionist all but steals “The Bubble”).
Among the “Cliff Beasts” stars, some have past history. Lauren (Mann) and Dustin (Duchovny) just filed for divorce, but the chemistry is still boiling between them, while vaguely Will Smith-like Sean (Key) just published a bestseller that may or may not be the basis of a cult — an amusing idea that doesn’t really go anywhere. Others are new to the mix, meant to reflect recent Hollywood casting trends. There’s Oscar winner Dieter (Pedro Pascal), who spends much of his time either high or hitting on the help, and Krystal Kris (Iris Apatow), a super-popular TikTok star whose dance segments are more amusing than the rest of the movie combined.
Apatow wants “The Bubble” to be sort of a greenscreen “Tropic Thunder,” sampling big chunks of “Sharknado”-level shlock already cut together and rendered, then cutting to the actors running on treadmills or dangling from wires for a laugh, as if this is the way such movies are made. Truth be told, there’s scarcely a more boring place on earth to be than a movie set, where people spend most of their time waiting, and scenes are repeated over and over again. But no one wants to see that, which explains why Apatow has opted to make the 16th biggest action movie franchise look like some kind of amateur goof, directed by a barely competent Sundance winner way out of his league (Armisen, about a quarter-century too old to be the next Jon Watts or Colin Trevorrow).
Dustin butts in and tries to rewrite the script, while the rest of the cast try to amuse themselves during their down time. Then a PA tests positive for COVID, and Apatow cues yet another montage of high-maintenance actors going stir-crazy. Every once in a while, something amusing happens, but it all feels like one endless “Saturday Night Live” sketch. Apatow has said he built the movie fully expecting audiences to pause and take breaks throughout, but he doesn’t give them reason to keep going. There are a couple outrageous bits, one involving a sniper hired to keep the actors from leaving and another that allowed the team at Industrial Light and Magic to render the R-rated dino-bits typically neutered from other projects.
When this chaotic venture melts down in production, Scott (Nick Kocher), the “EPK guy” tasked with shooting behind-the-scenes footage, winds up releasing an unmaking-of documentary instead. This seems like it would’ve been the right way to frame “The Bubble” — not as a semi-improvised scripted comedy, but as more of a Christopher Guest-style mockumentary that intercuts between the outrageously unprofessional behavior that occurs on location and talking-head footage of the actors trying to do damage control after the fact. That format feels slightly out of date these days, but then, so do most of the jokes in “The Bubble.” | https://variety.com/2022/film/reviews/the-bubble-review-judd-apatow-netflix-1235219862/ | 2022-04-01T01:44:26Z |

Taiwan Stock Market Tipped To Open In The Red
(RTTNews) - The Taiwan stock market on Thursday halted the two-day winning streak in which it had advanced more than 220 points or 1.2 percent. The Taiwan Stock Exchange now sits just beneath the 17,700-point plateau and it's expected to open under pressure again on Friday.
The global forecast for the Asian markets is soft, with oil and technology stocks expected to lead the way lower. The European and U.S. markets were down and the Asian bourses are tipped to open in similar fashion.
The TSE finished modestly lower on Thursday as losses from the technology and plastic stocks were mitigated by support from the financial sector.
For the day, the index lost 47.09 points or 0.27 percent to finish at 17,693.47 after trading between 17,682.53 and 17,767.81.
Among the actives, Cathay Financial was up 0.16 percent, while Mega Financial strengthened 1.54 percent, CTBC Financial climbed 1.38 percent, Fubon Financial collected 0.53 percent, First Financial jumped 1.61 percent, E Sun Financial improved 0.61 percent, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company shed 0.50 percent, United Microelectronics Corporation dropped 0.92 percent, Hon Hai Precision added 0.47 percent, Largan Precision declined 1.05 percent, MediaTek skidded 1.09 percent, Delta Electronics rose 0.19 percent, Nan Ya Plastics slumped 0.32 percent, Asia Cement gained 0.21 percent, Taiwan Cement perked 0.10 percent and Catcher Technology and Formosa Plastic were unchanged.
The lead from Wall Street is negative as the major averages opened lower on Thursday and the losses accelerated as the session progressed, finishing solidly in the red.
The Dow plummeted 550.46 points or 1.56 percent to finish at 34,678.35, while the NASDAQ plunged 221.76 points or 1.54 percent to close at 14,220.52 and the S&P 500 tumbled 72.04 points or 1.57 percent to end at 4,530.41.
Selling pressure picked up considerably in the final hour of the last trading day of the quarter, which marked the first negative quarter for the major averages since the first quarter of 2020.
For the first three months of 2022, the Nasdaq plummeted by 9.1 percent and the S&P 500 and Dow dove by 4.9 percent and 4.6 percent, respectively, although the major averages regained some ground in March.
Traders may also have been looking to safer havens ahead of the release of the Labor Department's closely watched monthly employment report later today.
Crude oil prices drifted plummeted on Thursday after U.S. President Joe Biden authorized the release of 1 million barrels of oil per day from the nation's Strategic Petroleum Reserve for the next six months. West Texas International Crude oil futures for May ended lower by $7.54 or 7 percent at $100.28 a barrel, the lowest close since March 16.

Chris Rock continues to keep things positive.
The comedian, 57, returned to The Wilbur in Boston on Thursday, following two standup shows the night before at which he broke his silence about the 94th Academy Awards.
After Rock took the stage on Thursday, dressed in an all-white ensemble much like the night before, he began his set by once again addressing the weekend. (On Sunday, Rock was smacked in the face by Will Smith at the 2022 Oscars after the presenter made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s appearance.)
However, at this particular show, an audience member yelled out, “F— Will Smith!” Rock, who did not engage with “Will Smith” chants the night before, responded this time around by immediately shutting it down. “No, no, no, no, no…” Rock replied.
At Rock’s shows on Wednesday — his first appearance since presenting at the Academy Awards — he said that he was “still processing what happened” over the weekend. During his late-night set, he also told the crowd, “I haven’t talked to anyone, despite what you heard.”
Though he did not mention Smith by name at either show on Wednesday, he seemed to imply that he hasn’t yet spoken with the King Richard star directly despite reports earlier this week that Sean “Diddy” Combs said the pair had made amends. (It was later reported that Combs never confirmed a reconciliation.)

Following Sunday night’s televised altercation, ticket sales for Rock’s upcoming Ego Death tour dates saw a spike in popularity, according to secondary ticket seller TickPick.
During the 2022 Oscars at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday, Rock presented the Best Documentary Feature award, taking time to crack a few jokes, including one about Smith’s wife. He made a gag about her hair matching Demi Moore’s shaved head in the movie G.I. Jane, which Pinkett Smith recently opened up about, revealing it was a result of having alopecia.
Pinkett Smith, 50, was visibly unamused by the joke, rolling her eyes from her seat.

Seconds later, Smith, 53, walked onstage and approached Rock, smacking him in front of the audience and millions watching the telecast at home. Back at his table, Smith shouted to a stunned Rock: “Keep my wife’s name out of your f—–g mouth.” Smith remained seated with his wife at his table for the rest of the night. Rock declined to press charges.
When Smith won Best Actor later in the ceremony, he apologized to the Academy and his fellow nominees, but did not mention Rock. In his tearful speech, he spoke about acting out of love and protection, saying, “Love makes you do crazy things.”
On Monday, Smith publicly apologized to Rock in a statement shared on Instagram, saying, “I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness.”

He also said, “Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive. My behavior at last night’s Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable. Jokes at my expense are a part of the job, but a joke about Jada’s medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally.”
“… I would also like to apologize to the Academy, the producers of the show, all the attendees and everyone watching around the world. I would like to apologize to the Williams Family and my King Richard Family,” continued Smith. “I deeply regret that my behavior has stained what has been an otherwise gorgeous journey for all of us. I am a work in progress.”
Also on Monday, the Academy said in a statement, “The Academy condemns the actions of Mr. Smith at last night’s show. We have officially started a formal review around the incident and will explore further action and consequences in accordance with our Bylaws, Standards of Conduct and California law.”

On Wednesday, the Academy said that Smith was actually asked to leave after the incident but “refused.”
“Things unfolded in a way we could not have anticipated,” read a statement issued to PEOPLE. “While we would like to clarify that Mr. Smith was asked to leave the ceremony and refused, we also recognize we could have handled the situation differently.”
Wednesday’s statement from the Academy also said, “The Board of Governors today initiated disciplinary proceedings against Mr. Smith for violations of the Academy’s Standards of Conduct, including inappropriate physical contact, abusive or threatening behavior, and compromising the integrity of the Academy.”
“At the next board meeting on April 18, the Academy may take any disciplinary action, which may include suspension, expulsion, or other sanctions permitted by the Bylaws and Standards of Conduct,” the statement said.

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

Rain slows Augusta Women’s Amateur as no one left under par
By DOUG FERGUSON
AP Golf Writer
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Sixteen-year-old Anna Davis was among just nine players who have finished two rounds of the Augusta National Women’s Amateur. Rain was so heavy that it didn’t start until 3 p.m. Davis shot 76 and was the clubhouse leader at 2-over par. Three players were tied at even without finishing. Davis is virtually assured of making it to the final round Saturday at Augusta National. Friday will be a long and exciting day. Most players still have to finish the second round. And then all of them head to the home of the Masters for a practice round. | https://keyt.com/news/2022/03/31/rain-slows-augusta-womens-amateur-as-no-one-left-under-par/ | 2022-04-01T01:44:28Z |

Vandals damage van belonging to Phoenix animal rescue; act discovered as crews get ready to head to Mexico
PHOENIX - A Phoenix area animal rescue was vandalized, and officials with the organization say it was their cars that were targeted.
The act was discovered after crews noticed their transport vans were leaking fuel. Staff members say someone drilled holes in their gas tank, and also caused damage to one of the mirrors
"You know, we really want to focus on rescuing and not having to deal with, you know, calling the police and dealing with insurance and being down a vehicle, just all of the juggling that goes along with it and the feeling of being violated," said Heather Allen, President and CEO of HALO Animal Rescue.
HALO Animal Rescue's transport team in north Phoenix was just leaving for a trip to pick up 35 rescue dogs in Rocky Point, Mexico when they noticed something wasn’t quite right.
"Stopped at the gas station to fill up, and as we were pumping the gas, we noticed that it was just landing onto the ground," said Allen.
After taking it to a repair shop, they learned someone had drilled holes into their van's gas tank, and also caused damage to the drivers side mirror…
"I suspect that somebody did it because they feel very desperate," said Allen. "Gas prices are pretty high. It's not really an excuse. I mean, I feel like people need to, you know, find a legitimate way to get what they need, and it is very sad."
The incident that was discovered on March 31 was not the first time HALO Animal Rescue was targeted. About a week ago, their security footage picked up someone detaching a hose from their gas tank to siphon gas. Officials with the animal rescue are now worried it could happen again.
For now, however, the non-profit is forced to delay their trip to Mexico to deal with the huge repair bill.
"We work very hard to raise the money that we have, and we want the money to go towards saving the animals, and you know, this gas tank has to be purchased from a dealership. They don't make aftermarket gas tanks. So, it's $2,500 to repair it, and it's just sad," said Allen
The rescue team is hoping to take another vehicle to Tocky Point on April 1 to pick up the dogs.

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — The Turkish prosecutor in the case against 26 Saudi nationals charged in the slaying of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi made a surprise request Thursday that their trial in absentia be suspended and the case transferred to Saudi Arabia, raising fears of a possible coverup.
The panel of judges made no ruling on the prosecutor’s request but said a letter would be sent to Turkey’s Justice Ministry seeking its opinion on the possible transfer of the file to Saudi judicial authorities, the state-run Anadolu Agency reported. Trial was adjourned until April 7.
The development comes as Turkey has been trying to normalize its relationship with Saudi Arabia, which hit an all-time low following Khashoggi’s grisly October 2018 killing. Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said in an interview on Thursday that Saudi authorities were more cooperative on judicial issues with Turkey, but did not elaborate.
In arguing for the transfer, the prosecutor told the court that the Saudi chief public prosecutor’s office requested the Turkish proceedings be transferred to the kingdom in a letter dated March 13, and that international warrants issued by Ankara against the defendants be lifted, according to the private DHA news agency.
The prosecutor said that because the arrest warrants cannot be executed and defense statements cannot be taken, the case would remain inconclusive in Turkey.
Amnesty International urged Turkey to press ahead with the trial, saying if it is transferred to Saudi Arabia, Turkey will be “knowingly and willingly sending the case to a place where it will be covered up.”
Moving Khashoggi’s trial to Saudi Arabia would provide a diplomatic resolution to a dispute that represented the wider troubles between Ankara and the kingdom since the 2011 Arab Spring.
Turkey under Erdogan supported Islamists as the uprisings took hold, while Saudi Arabia and its ally the United Arab Emirates sought to suppress such movements for fear of facing challenges to their autocratic governments. Meanwhile, Turkey sided with Qatar in a diplomatic dispute that saw Doha boycotted by Bahrain, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
Since then-President Donald Trump lost the 2020 election, the Gulf Arab states have set aside — but not fully resolved — the Qatar dispute. Meanwhile, Turkey under Erdogan has faced a rapid devaluation of its lira currency over his refusal to hike interest rates. Bilateral trade to the kingdom and the UAE, a major transshipment point for the world economy, also collapsed.
Since the start of 2022, Erdogan has sought to improve those ties, including making his first visit to the UAE in nearly a decade. Saudi Arabia and the UAE, after fighting through the coronavirus pandemic’s economic effects, facing a grinding war in Yemen and struggling with renewed tensions with Iran, also want to resolve the outstanding feud.
Khashoggi disappeared on Oct. 2, 2018, after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, seeking documents that would allow him to marry Hatice Cengiz, a Turkish national who was waiting outside the building. He never emerged.
Turkish officials allege that the Saudi national, who was a United States resident, was killed and then dismembered with a bone saw inside the consulate. His body has not been found. Prior to his killing, Khashoggi had written critically of Saudi Arabia’s crown prince in columns for the Washington Post.
Turkish authorities said he was killed by a team of Saudi agents. Those on trial in absentia include two former aides of the prince.
Saudi officials initially offered conflicting accounts concerning the killing, including claims that Khashoggi had left the consulate building unharmed. But amid mounting international pressure, they stated that Khashoggi’s death was a tragic accident, with the meeting unexpectedly turning violent.
Turkey decided to try the defendants in absentia after Saudi Arabia rejected Turkish demands for their extradition.
The slaying had sparked international condemnation and cast a cloud of suspicion over Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Western intelligence agencies, as well as the U.S. Congress, have said that an operation of this magnitude could not have happened without his knowledge.
In urging Turkey to proceed with the trial, Amnesty International said Ankara would be complicit in a coverup if it grants the Saudi request for a transfer.
“If the prosecutor’s request is granted, then instead of prosecuting and shedding light on a murder that was committed on its territory … Turkey will be knowingly and willingly sending the case to a place where it will be covered up,” said Tarik Beyhan, Amnesty’s campaign director for Turkey.
Beyhan said he didn’t want to “think about the possibility” that the prosecutor’s request may be related to the improving ties between Riyadh and Ankara.
“Basic human rights … should not be made the subject of political negotiations,” he said. “A murder cannot be covered up to fix relations.”
Some of the men were put on trial in Riyadh behind closed doors. A Saudi court issued a final verdict in 2020 that sentenced five mid-level officials and operatives to 20-year jail terms. The court had originally ordered the death penalty, but reduced the punishment after Khashoggi’s son Salah, who lives in Saudi Arabia, announced that he forgave the defendants. Three others were sentenced to lesser jail terms.
On Thursday, Khashoggi’s fiancee, Cengiz, appeared to criticize the prosecutor’s request in a tweet in English. “It is an exemplary situation in terms of showing the dilemma facing humanity in the modern era,” she wrote. “Which of the two will we choose? To want to live like a virtuous human being or to build a life by holding material interests above all kinds of values.”
She did not respond to a request for comment.

For his landmark 700th vanity card, Chuck Lorre chose physics. Lorre’s 700th card happened to coincide with the 100th episode of “Young Sheldon,” which he co-created and executive produces with Steve Molaro. And so, given the scientific nature of the character of Sheldon Cooper, it made sense to share a physics equation that adds up to… 100.
Immediately following “Young Sheldon” on CBS this Thursday night was another show Lorre executive produces, “United States of Al,” which ended with Lorre’s 701st card. Which, naturally, poked fun at the 700th card:
Lorre’s self-penned vanity cards have been a signature part of most of his series for 25 years, starting with “Dharma and Greg,” and then moving on to “Two and a Half Men,” “The Big Bang Theory,” “Mike & Molly” and “Mom.” His current series “Young Sheldon,” “Bob Hearts Abishola,” “B Positive” and “United States of Al” have also featured the cards. (Lorre opted not to on his Netflix single-camera series “The Kominsky Method,” however.)
Lorre began the tradition with “Dharma and Greg” in 1997, when he was given a second at the end of each episode to flash a vanity card — which is usually a logo of the writer’s production company.
Lorre instead decided to use the time to run an essay about interference from the network. It was the age before DVRs, so few noticed. But as he kept on writing new ones, week after week, viewers began to slowly hit pause on their VCRs to make out the tiny words.
“It has been a great opportunity to try and write something that isn’t a script,” Lorre told us in 2012. “I got into a lot of trouble once people started reading them. For every vanity card I’ve written for the last four or five years there’s probably 10 sets of lawyer eyeballs on each one. It’s an interesting process to even make them now, there’s so much scrutiny.”
In 2012, Lorre compiled select cards into the book “What Doesn’t Kill Us Makes Us Bitter.” Proceeds from the sale of the book benefited many health care–related charities and educational efforts, including the Venice Family Clinic.

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.

Mooncoin Profile
According to CryptoCompare, “Moons are a new way for people to be rewarded for their contributions to r/CryptoCurrency. Moons can be claimed in the new Vault section of the Reddit iOS or Android app. They represent ownership in the subreddit, they are tokens on the Ethereum blockchain controlled entirely by the user, and they can be freely transferred, tipped, and spent in r/CryptoCurrency. Moons are distributed monthly based on individual contributions (comments, posts, etc.) that people make in r/CryptoCurrency. Reddit karma provides a basis for measuring people’s contribution, but the final decision is up to the community. Initially, 50 million Moons will be distributed based on karma earned in the subreddit to date. The amount distributed each following month will start at 5 million and decrease by 2.5% every cycle, so that the total number of Moons distributed over time will approach a maximum cap of 250 million. “
Buying and Selling Mooncoin
It is usually not possible to buy alternative cryptocurrencies such as Mooncoin directly using US dollars. Investors seeking to trade Mooncoin should first buy Bitcoin or Ethereum using an exchange that deals in US dollars such as GDAX, Gemini or Changelly. Investors can then use their newly-acquired Bitcoin or Ethereum to buy Mooncoin using one of the aforementioned exchanges.

Sheldon Cooper isn’t the only celebrating tonight. Uber-producer Chuck Lorre helped to honor the 100th episode of Young Sheldon by reaching a milestone of his own — his 700th vanity card.
The card, which aired at the end of Thursday’s episode on CBS, featured a bunch of equations that we presume add up to 100. (Editor’s Note: we couldn’t independently verify because we’re journalist’s for Pete’s sake, not mathematicians.) Lorre quickly followed his 700th vanity card with a 701st vanity card at the end of United States of Al, which makes fun of the previous one.
For 25 years, Lorre has set aside one second of airtime after each of his comedies to express his thoughts. The tradition began with Dharma and Greg and continued with Two and a Half Men, The Big Bang Theory, Mike & Molly, and Mom as well as Young Sheldon, Bob Hearts Abishola, B Positive and United States of Al. The entire collection can be viewed online at http://chucklorre.com/.
In 2012, Lorre compiled select cards into a book titled What Doesn’t Kill Us Makes Us Bitter. All of Lorre’s proceeds from the sale of the book benefited health care–related charities and educational efforts, including the Venice Family Clinic. | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/world/chuck-lorre-vanity-cards-young-sheldon-the-hamden-journal/130535/ | 2022-04-01T01:44:34Z |
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A former minor league pitcher ran a major league illegal sports betting operation in California that used other former pro athletes to take bets and took wagers from players still in the game, federal prosecutors said Thursday.
Wayne Nix, who threw for Oakland Athletics farm teams, used his connections to recruit three former Major League Baseball players and a former pro football player as fellow bookies, prosecutors said.
The MLB began looking into the matter when it learned of it Thursday, but was unaware any of those involved other than Nix, a spokesman said.
Court records offered no names of the players who worked for Nix or those who placed bets with his business, but they provide a glimpse of the kind of money being wagered, earned and lost.
A professional football player paid Nix $245,000 for gambling losses in 2016. An MLB coach paid $4,000 in losses that same year. It was not disclosed if either bet on their own games or their own sports.
MLB prohibits players from betting on baseball or gambling illegally on sports. They can bet on other sports if it’s legal. The National Football League policy bars all personnel from betting on football games.
A Los Angeles check cashing business that has agreed to plead guilty to failing to prevent money laundering in the scheme cashed over $18 million in checks from two single bettors, prosecutors said.
One client wagered $5 million on the Super Bowl but it was not revealed if that gambit paid off.
Sports betting is legal in 30 states, but not in California. However, voters will have a chance to legalize it at the polls in November.
Nix, 45, has agreed to plead guilty to conspiring to run an illegal gambling operation and faces up to eight years in prison. He also admitted he failed to report $1.4 million in income in 2017 and 2018. He has agreed to pay back taxes and interest of $1.25 million and forfeit $1.3 million seized from bank accounts.
Nix began the sports bookmaking business about 20 years ago after his six-year minor league career — with stops in Arizona, Texas and California — ended, prosecutors said.
His client list was created from contacts he had made in the sports world and included current and former pro athletes. The agents he hired helped expand that clientele.
The operation eventually began using a Costa Rican business, Sand Island Sports, to create accounts where bets could be placed and tracked and credit limits set, prosecutors said. Bets were placed online or through a call center, though Nix paid winners and kept most of the money from losing bets.
Those who exceeded credit limits were shut off, though exceptions were made, according to court documents.
A sports broadcaster's account was reactivated in February 2019 after he told Nix he was refinancing his home mortgage to pay off his gambling debts.
In September 2019, Nix increased the credit limit to a baseball player with debts so he could make additional bets.
In November, 2019, Nix's partner, Edon Kagasoff, told a business manager for a professional basketball player that he would increase the maximum wager he could place to $25,000 per NBA game.
Kagasoff, 44, faces the same conspiracy charge as Nix. He also agreed to plead guilty and forfeit over $3 million in funds seized from his home and bank accounts. | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Ex-minor-leaguer-ran-major-league-sports-betting-17049855.php | 2022-04-01T01:44:34Z |
US big 3 airlines see positive trends despite new challenges
Just as the COVID-19 crisis moves into a more manageable and endemic state, airlines are now facing fallout from the war in Ukraine and also the challenge of rising oil prices.
Even with the combination of Omicron (variant of the coronavirus), the war in Ukraine, and fuel price volatility, three of the largest US airlines – American, Delta and United – are encouraged by current revenue and demand patterns.
Despite those new challenges, the major US global airlines remain bullish on demand, reflected in all three recently anticipating that they will beat previous revenue guidance for 1Q2021.
They have opted to trim their 1Q2022 capacity guidance, driven in large part by the Omicron variant of COVID-19 that swept across the country in early 2022. They are also confident that they can recoup the increase in fuel prices without wiping out any of the current strength they see in demand.
Summary
- The US’ three large global network airlines are sustaining positive revenue trends, despite fuel price volatility.
- For now, those operators believe they can recoup rising fuel costs.
- They are also trimming their near-term capacity guidance.
The US 'Big 3' experiencing improved trends in 1Q2022 revenue
Even with the combination of Omicron (variant of the coronavirus), the war in Ukraine, and fuel price volatility, three of the largest US airlines – American, Delta and United – are encouraged by current revenue and demand patterns.
For example, American’s departing CEO Doug Parker recently told attendees at the J.P. Morgan Industrials Conference that the company had recently had three days of customers purchasing tickets that were the “highest days ever, two of them 15% higher than we’ve ever had”.
He noted that those record days were against a backdrop of less inventory, and without a full recovery in international and business travel. “That just says, if nothing else, demand for travel is really strong”, Mr Parker said.
American said that it now expects revenues in 1Q2022 to decrease by 17% compared with the same period in 2019. Previously, the company expected a drop between 20% and 22%.
Delta’s president Glen Hauenstein told the audience at the same event that the airline had recently had the highest cash sales day in its 100-year history.
“I think that’s a testament, over 100% restoration of sales last week [week of 7-Mar-2022] with about 87% of capacity restored”, said Mr Hauenstein.
Delta now expects its 1Q2022 adjusted operating revenues to drop 22% from pre-pandemic levels, compared with prior expectations of them being down 24%-28%.
At the same event United’s chief commercial officer Andrew Nocella remarked that system bookings for future travel had improved close to 40 points since the first week of 2022, and business travel had increased more than 30 points since the peak of the Omicron coronavirus variant in Jan-2022. He also said that United did not pre-sell seats for the business summer season at lower yields.
“We saved those seats, and we’re selling them at much higher yields”, he said.
In United’s updated guidance the company said that it expected revenues for 1Q2022 to be near the better end of its previous forecast of a decrease of 20% to 25% versus 1Q2019.
Those airlines are trimming near-term capacity guidance
All three of those airlines have opted to trim their 1Q2022 capacity guidance, driven in large part by the Omicron variant of COVID-19 that swept across the country in early 2022.
American expects a decrease of 10% to 12% compared with pre-pandemic levels, versus prior guidance of a drop of 8% to 10%.
United now expects its capacity during the first quarter to fall 19%, compared to previous targets of being down 16%-18%.
Delta has also refined its capacity targets to 17% below 2019 levels, compared with previous guidance of 17% to 19%.
With so many unknown variables occurring in the market at the moment, those airlines are not offering specific guidance. Data from CAPA and OAG show that US domestic capacity, measured by ASKs, will remain below 2019 levels until the start of the busy summer high season in the Northern Hemisphere in early Jun-2022.
United States of America: weekly total domestic ASKs from 2019 to late Aug-2022 (projected)
Mr Hauenstein of Delta explained that the airline’s capacity would remain below the industry through the summer by at least a few points.
“And as we head into the fall, we’ll take another observation of what the demand environment is…we have the capability of getting to 100% of capacity restoration starting in September [Sep-2022] and beyond,” he said.
Indeed, at the moment Delta’s system ASKs are projected to remain below 2019 levels through late Aug-2022.
Delta Air Lines: weekly system ASKs from 2019 to late Aug-2022 (projected)
United’s system ASKs will also remain below 2019 levels, but less than Delta's as the summer season gets under way.
“Matching capacity to demand has always been our focus and we have [adjusted] and will continue to adjust as necessary”, said Mr Nocella. The airline has stated that its capacity 2022 will be down in the high single digits compared with 2019.
American, Delta and United are passing on higher fuel costs, for now
For now, Delta and United believe that they can recapture the increase in fuel costs through increasing ticket prices and other forms of revenue management.
Mr Hauenstein noted that he thinks a lot of industry observers have questioned whether or not airlines could pass on higher fuel costs to the end-consumer. He explained that given Delta’s demographic and average client, the airline feels that “is something we can easily achieve,” and will likely achieve in 2Q2022 as fuel prices fluctuate rapidly.
“We need to recapture somewhere between USD15 and USD20…on an average ticket value of USD200”, Mr Hauenstein explained.
United was capturing a large proportion of the rise in fuel costs, said Mr Nocella; not 100%, but the majority, he explained, adding that the airline had adjusted its capacity to make sure that “we can capture all of it this year.”
Mr Nocella noted that United was not seeing any demand destruction, “today we’re passing through a majority of the cost of oil.”
The latest obstacles seem to be manageable for US airlines
At the moment American, United and Delta seem to be managing the near-term fallout from the latest challenges that have surfaced.
There is still the challenge of how the rest of 2022 will unfold, but those airlines believe trends going forward remain in solid shape. | https://centreforaviation.com/analysis/reports/us-big-3-airlines-see-positive-trends-despite-new-challenges-602199 | 2022-04-01T01:44:35Z |
5 fetuses found inside DC home of anti-abortion activist
WASHINGTON (AP) — Police found five fetuses in the home of a self-proclaimed “anti-abortion activist” who was indicted this week on federal charges alleging that she was part of a group of people who blocked access to a Washington, D.C. reproductive health center.
The Metropolitan Police Department says officers were responding to a tip about “potential bio-hazard material” at a home in Southeast Washington on Wednesday when they located the five fetuses inside.
A local television station, WUSA9, captured video of police searching the home and reported that the home belonged to Lauren Handy. The 28-year-old was one of nine people charged in an indictment that was made public on Wednesday that accused the group of traveling to Washington, blocking access to the reproductive health center and streaming it on Facebook.
The station, which first reported the discovery, said Handy told a reporter that “people will freak out when they hear” what detectives found inside her house. Handy did not respond to a message sent to her Facebook profile seeking comment.
Police said the five fetuses were collected by Washington’s medical examiner and the investigation is ongoing.
In the indictment, prosecutors said Handy had called the clinic pretending to be a prospective patient and scheduling an appointment. Once there, on Oct. 22, 2020, eight of the suspects pushed their way inside and began blocking the doors, according to the indictment. Five of them chained themselves together on chairs to block the treatment area as others blocked the employee entrance to stop other patients from coming inside, the indictment alleges. Another suspect blocked people from coming into the waiting room, prosecutors charge.
Handy and the eight others were charged with conspiracy against rights and violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act. The federal law, more commonly known as the FACE Act, prohibits physically obstructing or using the threat of force to intimidate or interfere with a person seeking reproductive health services.

Report: Rain not anticipated when $7M in PPE moved outside
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. (AP) — An investigation has found that no one anticipated wet weather to start so early last fall when about $7 million worth of personal protective equipment and cleaning supplies purchased by a Northern California county were moved outside. After a KGO-TV news report showed hundreds of drenched cardboard boxes following an October rain, San Mateo County officials acknowledged the supplies were moved outside an event center to make room for a conference. An independent probe released Thursday found the county had no definitive timeline for how the supplies would be distributed before the rainy season, and no discussion on protecting the equipment in case of bad weather. | https://keyt.com/news/2022/03/31/report-rain-not-anticipated-when-7m-in-ppe-moved-outside/ | 2022-04-01T01:44:35Z |
UofL engineering course using 3D printers to teach STEM to kids with disabilities
A new elective course for engineering students at the University of Louisville is helping ensure visually impaired students are not at a disadvantage when learning STEM.
With the use of 3D printers, the dozen or so students in the course create physical tools for blind students to work with.
"The first layer is the most important, because the way that it prints is from the bottom up," said Matt Franxman, junior chemical engineering student.
Line by line, detail by detail, the students will spend this semester turning an image from their head into an object in their hands. The finished product will head straight to the Kentucky School of the Blind.
"I had never touched a 3D printer prior to this class," Franxman said.
Even so, Franxman said joining the class was a no-brainer, and on the first day, he came ready with a big idea: a periodic table.
"But then, you know, braille," Franxman said. "They can't see, so it's like how are going to do that?"
A question he'll be working this entire semester to answer. In that process, assistant professor Dr. Vance Jaeger said Franxman will also learn what their class is about.
"Accessibility," Jaeger said. "Often we have our students design things, and they design them for the general public, but they're all small things that we can change within our designs that we make to really make them accessible for people with disabilities."
Jaeger came up with the idea for this class last summer after speaking with a teacher from the Kentucky School for the Blind.
"He [the KSB teacher] was interested in reaching his students more," Jaeger said. "We spoke about some of the concepts he had trouble teaching his students."
A few conversations later, he and Jaeger came up with a plan to have UofL students help.
Jaeger said in the end, the 13 students in his class will have helped take hands-on learning to a whole new level, while at the same time leveling the playing field for others.
Franxman said he is enjoying every minute of it.
"It is just really cool," Franxman said.
This is the first semester the university is offering this elective. It was made possible thanks to a $25,000 grant from NASA.
In a statement sent to us, a statement from KSB wrote:
"Over the course of the semester, I've had a couple of opportunities to meet with and provide feedback for the UofL students' projects as they have been developing them. It has been very interesting to see how they are choosing to approach and develop these models, especially as people (like most of the population at large) who do not have a great deal of experience with visual impairments or blindness. I'm hoping that as we've worked together, these young engineers will be able to incorporate the idea of Universal Access into their careers in the future.
"I've really enjoyed reviewing their proposals and designs so far, and their responses and revisions based on my feedback have been exciting to see. We haven't reached the point where my students at the school for the blind have been giving feedback about the projects yet, but I anticipate being able to share some of what the UofL students have designed in the next few weeks.
"After that, we should be able to get some final revisions for the models finished up. The goal is that these models, once they're developed and lessons/curricula have been written up for them, can be put out on the web for anyone else to be able to produce and use in their classroom. I'd love to see these used not just for students who are blind or visually impaired, but also the rest of the population of young people learning STEM content; it's an opportunity to educate everyone about disabilities and being differently able." | https://www.wlky.com/article/uofl-engineering-course-using-3d-printers-to-teach-stem-to-kids-with-disabilities/39602701 | 2022-04-01T01:44:35Z |

BERLIN (AP) — Investigators said Thursday they have identified a 32-year-old student as the suspect in the poisoning of seven people at a university in western Germany last year.
In August, prosecutors opened an investigation after employees and students at the Technical University in Darmstadt, south of Frankfurt, received medical treatment for symptoms of possible poisoning. Police said at the time that milk cartons and water containers in a building on the campus appeared to have been contaminated.
On Thursday, they said the 32-year-old from the German city of Mainz, a materials science student at the university since 2017, has been sent to a psychiatric hospital. She is suspected of attempted murder, but officials believe she can’t be held criminally responsible because of a psychiatric illness. Police said the suspect hasn’t yet responded to the allegations.
They said information from over 1,000 witnesses helped firm up their case against the suspect, and that forensic analysis pointed to her having been in the building the night before the victims’ symptoms appeared.
Some of the affected employees were mentioned in notes written by the woman, and the investigation found indications that she felt persecuted by them, police said. They didn’t identify the “harmful substances” that were used. | https://www.conchovalleyhomepage.com/news/national-news/student-identified-as-suspect-in-german-university-poisoning/ | 2022-04-01T01:44:38Z |

Pleasant, Utah. Maxine was born November 24th, 1933 to Theodorus “Mack” Emery McKean, and Iva Shepherd in Birdseye, Utah. She was born at home, the youngest of eight children, seven girls, and one brother. Much of her childhood was spent helping with the daily farm chores including raising chickens, hauling hay, and herding sheep. She often expressed how grateful she was for her loving parents and wonderful upbringing. They have all passed on now, as she was the last living member of her immediate family. She attended elementary, junior high, and high school in Spanish Fork where she enjoyed twirling baton with the school marching band and had many friends that she stayed close to throughout her life. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2556717799126/paul-blaine-stevens | 2022-04-01T01:44:38Z |
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.

Manly chief executive Stephen Humphreys will front the Sea Eagles board next week over alleged corporate governance issues.
The Sea Eagles have informed the NRL of the development on Friday.
Humphreys is currently unwell after recently contracting COVID-19, while several Sea Eagles directors are also isolating after testing positive.
Humphreys - the son of former NSWRL boss Kevin - took charge of the club three years ago. The Herald has attempted to reach him for comment.
“I can’t make any public comment at this time due to the private nature of this matter,” said Manly chairman Scott Penn.
“We’ll release something more in due course.”
The Sea Eagles will face the Raiders at Mudgee on Saturday afternoon.
More to come. | https://www.watoday.com.au/sport/nrl/manly-boss-humphreys-to-front-board-over-corporate-governance-issues-20220401-p5aa1p.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_sport_nrl | 2022-04-01T01:44:40Z |
A realisation hit Nadin Amizah before she took the stage for her set on the first day of Joyland festival in Bali: she was about to sing sombre ballads to thousands of people looking for a good, fun time. They’d been primed by the acts preceding her: the fist-pumping combo of alternative pop band Rock N Roll Mafia and dance-pop trio Agrikulture.
But the 21-year-old quickly snapped out of her brief moment of anxiety. “Turns out, I don’t really care,” she tells NME shortly after her set. “When I see someone I admire performing on a stage, no matter what kind of noise may come their way, I am there to see the performer and I care about them only. And I want my audience to feel that way [about me] as well.”
In hindsight, the singer-songwriter had nothing to worry about. The crowd sang along to ‘Sebuah Tarian Yang Tak Kunjung Selesai’ (‘A Dance with No End’) and ‘Mendarah’ (‘Bloodied’) – arguably Amizah’s saddest songs to date. Amizah may or may not have been holding back tears as she dove into the heartbreaking lyrics, but she was definitely amused when some men in the audience screamed her name – an experience she finds “adorable” considering “most of my audience is female”, she giggles.
“[Joyland Bali] gives me hope. Perhaps music festivals are possible again”
Amizah kept things low-key since the release of her EP ‘Kalah Bertaruh’ (‘A Losing Game’) last May and its accompanying live sessions dubbed ‘Cinta dan Bentuk Kalah Lainnya’ (‘Love and Other Forms of Defeat’) a month after. A musical examination of real-life romance gone awry, the five-track EP continued the artist’s exploration into folk music while incorporating elements of bedroom pop. ‘Kalah Bertaruh’ was critically acclaimed, collecting two nominations at the 2021 Anugerah Musik Indonesia Awards: Best Pop Album and Best Alternative Male/Female Solo Performance for opening track ‘Sebuah Tarian Yang Tak Kunjung Selesai’.
Despite the positive reception and the fact that it was released a mere 10 months ago, Amizah is no longer interested in further dwelling on ‘Kalah Bertaruh’ in the press.
“I don’t really like being repetitive about what I write. No offense to anyone, because it’s always fun going on radio tours as I gain different perspectives on what I have to say,” she says, noting that she gave only one media interview when promoting the project. “It’s just that this EP has a link to someone whose reputation I would still like to protect. I still hope I can stay friends with him as well. That’s why I feel like it’s best to take things gently.”
The lingering heartbreak of ‘Kalah Bertaruh’ has something to do with it, too. “I feel like this EP is not something to make a fuss about,” she asserts. “There were still some happy notes in my first album, therefore the stories I told came from a happy place with no pain at all. This EP, I’m afraid, comes from pain, so I’d rather not talk about it.”
She is more than willing, however, to talk about her debut album ‘Selamat Ulang Tahun’ (‘Happy Birthday’), which she believes has “transcended” its original form since its 2020 release. As its title suggests, ‘Selamat Ulang Tahun’ recounts and archives the singer-songwriter’s life before she turned 20, its lyrics traversing subjects such as coming of age, family and loss of innocence. The album is more intimate for being recorded entirely in her bedroom.
Now that she is turning 22 this year, Amizah believes that ‘Selamat Ulang Tahun’ is growing up as well, as “each song can still be developed further with the stories that I have collected for the past two years,” she says. “The stories [in the album] are still relevant: my confusion, my fear and my family.”
Amizah spent her downtime attending online classes and writing songs. Some artists experienced creative blocks during the pandemic, but not Amizah. “It so happens that there have been lots of interesting stories during this pandemic, and they are, like, song-material. Does it matter whether [I’m writing in a] pandemic or not? I don’t think so,” she shrugs.
Amizah has no plans at the moment to release more original solo material, though she is remaining creative. In September last year, she was featured on ‘Pun Aku’ (‘I Myself’), the 42nd album of Indonesian country-folk veteran Iwan Fals. Their collaboration, ‘Untukmu’ (‘For You’), received a music video released on Valentine’s Day this year. The song was not written by Amizah, but she was involved in conceptualising the video.
“I was asked to write the treatment but because I was busy working on my Bachelor’s dissertation, I told them that I couldn’t be the director for it,” she reveals. “Instead, I brought the person who directed the live sessions for ‘Kalah Bertaruh’ [Senry Alvin]. He’s a director who can easily translate what I want with little instruction.”
And then, 2022 came along – and an offer to perform at Joyland Bali. Accepting it was a no-brainer, even if she didn’t immediately grasp the festival’s scale: “Once I saw the line-up on Instagram, I was like, ‘Oh, this is a real festival!’” she quips with a giggle.
Despite her excitement, Amizah – a Bandung native whose festival credits so far include We The Fest and Prambanan Jazz Festival – still had some reservations. Just like the other musicians, she was initially concerned about Joyland being cancelled by the authorities. “But Alhamdulillah, we received that support and even the President showed up,” she gushes. “It gives me hope. Perhaps music festivals are possible again.”
For her nine-song Joyland setlist, Amizah was keen to showcase ‘Selamat Ulang Tahun’ and ‘Kalah Bertaruh’, both of which had never been performed live due to the pandemic. Keeping the festival’s breezy, beachside setting in mind, she decided to balance her more pensive material with “euphoric moments” by opening with the upbeat ‘Taruh’ (‘Bet’) and incorporating “bubbly” arrangements, most notably heard on ‘Hormat Kepada Angin’ (‘Respect to the Wind’) and ‘Beranjak Dewasa’ (‘Growing Up’).
But Amizah was still determined to bring an element of contemplation to Joyland. Her most well-known song, ‘Bertaut’ (‘Connected’), was left untouched, and she began each song by reciting a brief, original poem. At first she worried it would polarise her audience, but after “a moment of self-reflection” realised that without the poetry, “something would be missing. There would be no sparks anymore – at least for me, as a performer.”
Sparks are indeed flying for the performer Nadin Amizah, who fans will be delighted to know is raring to take more stages after Joyland. She exclaims gleefully:
“I just want to do a tour! That’s it. That’s all I have dreamed about these days!”
