Bower Center for the Arts in Bedford announced a calendar full of opportunities to explore the arts, including an exhibit, concert, performance, class and more.
The end of March brought three new exhibits hitting the walls and halls. Until April 23, visitors can view the works of Barry Koplen: “Men at Work” in the Sara Braaten Gallery, Robert Hunter: “Saucer Dreams” in the Terrace Gallery, and the 7th Annual Itsy-Bitsy Art in the Art Around the Corner. To celebrate these exhibits and meet the artists, the public may attend a “2nd Friday Reception” on April 8 from 5 to 7 p.m. in which Barry Koplen will discuss his personal UFO encounter over Smith Mountain Lake and more. Gallery admission is free.
In April, Bower Center also will present four live performances, beginning Saturday, April 2, at 6 p.m. with Virginia Hollow, bringing a sound born from the hills, valleys and mountains of Appalachia.
On April 23, Bower Center is collaborating with Opera on the James and offering the first of two complementary performances.
At 1 p.m., Tyler Young Artists will perform a family-friendly play, “Billy Goats Gruff.” “Billy Goats Gruff” is a “happy story in song” about how to deal with adversity through friendship and courage.

WASHINGTON — A video posted to TikTok by user @drdawnbantel, viewed more than 4.8 million times, claims having an average of one alcoholic drink per day will cause your brain to permanently shrink.
But don't cancel your bottomless brunch plans just yet: one of the authors of the study the video is based on says that's a misleading conclusion.
THE QUESTION
Can an average of one alcoholic drink a day shrink your brain?
OUR SOURCES
- “Associations between alcohol consumption and gray and white matter volumes in the UK Biobank,” the study the video is based on
- Dr. Henry Kranzler, Professor and Director, Center for Studies of Addiction at University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, and one of the study’s authors
THE ANSWER
No, the study cited in the TikTok video did not conclude that drinking, on average, one alcoholic beverage a day will permanently shrink your brain.
WHAT WE FOUND
Booze shrinking your brain? Not exactly, said Dr. Kranzler.
“That’s a little sensationalist,” he said.
Dr. Kranzler said that’s not what the study found; in fact, it’s not even what they were studying.
“We didn't look at people before they drank, over a period of time, and then after, which is which would be required to support that claim,” he explained.
But here’s what they did find when they studied 37,000 brain scans: on average those who drank more showed a decrease in what’s called gray matter and white matter, which essentially means a lower volume of brain cells. And those cells were less organized.
But Kranzler says that doesn’t definitively point to permanent brain shrinkage.
“There is evidence from people who drink very heavily who have more obvious functional and larger decreases, that there, with abstinence, there is recovery,” he said. “Not full recovery, perhaps, but can be substantial recovery.”
However, drinking can be connected with temporary dehydration of the brain, which Dr. Kranzler says is often a side effect of too much alcohol. That’s because the brain is made up of a lot of water, so he says shrinkage might occur as a result of dehydration--and could contribute to that foggy, achey feeling that could come after too many mimosas. It’s likely reversible, he says; just give yourself some time and maybe drink some water. | https://www.localmemphis.com/article/news/verify/alcohol-impact-on-brain-shrinkage-viral-tiktok-video-claim-fact-check-2022/65-47025eec-ad2b-48f7-a5a5-ec95c393e7a6 | 2022-04-01T02:05:26Z |
SPOKANE, Wash. — As the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) conducts its investigation into Spokane Public Schools' (SPS) alleged failure to report serious crimes, one parent is speaking out in the hopes of protecting her children and others.
There has long been more to school than reading, writing and arithmetic: it has become a safe haven for many children.
However, according to some SPS parents that have reached out to KREM 2, the students causing the violence are being protected at the cost of their children.
KREM 2 spoke with a mother who said the halls that once served as protected pathways can be incredibly terrifying for victims of violence.
"I want the school to stand up and really acknowledge what's going on," Kori, an SPS mother said.
Kori is the mother of a high school freshman enrolled in SPS. She told KREM 2 she did not want to identify herself for fear of retaliation against her son, who she said is already a victim of violence that has gone unreported by the school.
"It's non-stop. My son will text me throughout the day, almost weekly," Kori said. "They have lockdowns, kids fighting in the halls, claiming they have guns or knives. Ignoring it is not working."
Kori said her son's journey into high school has been marred by violence. She said it started after her son witnessed a group of students vandalizing the bathroom and told an adult at the school.
That good deed triggered a vicious response, according to Kori.
"The friends took it on themselves to threaten my son, call him a snitch," she recalled. " And they video it on their phone. He's crying, embarrassed, humiliated. That's when a staff member noticed."
According to Kori, her son was pulled into the principal's office and spent hours waiting. Eventually, his grandparents were called to pick him up. He was then escorted out of the school without an explanation.
The violence escalated a few weeks later when a student slapped a soda out of Kori's son's hand and became more aggressive, ultimately punching her son in the face.
Kori said her son came home that night and said nothing until she noticed his red cheek. After noticing his injuries, Kori emailed the principal that same night about what happened but never received a response.
The lackluster response from the school prompted her to call the police and file a report. Since the police report was filed, Kori says she has heard nothing from the school.
KREM 2 asked the school district about this case, but the district said they are unable to answer questions regarding the case at this time. KREM 2 also confirmed with police that, while Kori did file a report, they did not find any evidence that the school called authorities about the reported assault.
SPS sent out a letter on Wednesday night addressing the shift in security protocols at local schools. In the same letter, SPS canceled a scheduled safety protocol meeting set for Thursday night.
Below is the letter from SPS: | https://www.krem.com/article/news/investigations/spokane-public-schools-parent-assault-not-reported/293-82a6b806-4525-4357-868d-f18b6941dcee | 2022-04-01T02:05:26Z |
ATLANTA — Georgia lawmakers appeared to stall Thursday passing another restrictive abortion bill – this one making abortion pills unavailable by delivery.
It comes after federal COVID-19 rules were enacted when face-to-face visits with abortion providers became problematic.
The abortion pill bill has already passed the state Senate. But House members seemed to balk at advancing it out of a House committee.
Georgia’s controversial "heartbeat bill" passed three years ago with a lot of drama. The new abortion pill bill is somewhat less contentious. Backers of the bill say it’s about saving the lives of women.
"In essence, we want to make sure that the female is a good candidate to be able to take these medications," state Sen. Bruce Thompson (R-White) told the House Health and Human Services committee. "We want to make sure we aren’t preventing her from making the choice, but we do want to make sure that somewhere in this state, we aren’t putting that woman’s life at risk by the choice she makes."
The sponsor calls the bill the "Women’s Health and Safety Act." It restricts abortion access.
- It makes it unlawful to provide abortion inducing drugs via any courier delivery or mail service
- Specifically mentioning drugs like Mifeprex, Cytotec and RU-486.
- It would require women seeking abortions from medications to get an ultrasound
- And to be informed “she may see the remains of her unborn child in the process.”
"Requiring her to see me in person does not increase her safety," obstetrician / gynecologist Dr. Carrie Cwiak of Atlanta told the committee.
Opponents said the bill would actually harm women by making abortion medication less available earlier in pregnancy.
"If you wait longer because you have unnecessary barriers, you have less chance of having success and you have more adverse outcomes," Cwiak said.
The House committee declined to take a vote on the bill – making its passage this legislative session iffy with just two days left before adjournment. | https://www.13wmaz.com/article/news/politics/georgia-abortion-pill-unavailable-by-delivery-bill/85-a8e0c16a-926f-407c-8219-26ea78cf47c4 | 2022-04-01T02:05:26Z |
Montreal investing in programs by youth for youth in effort to combat gun violence
City to invest $7M in developing programs such as support phone line for families
Montreal is investing $2 million over the next two years in programs developed by and for youth as part newly launched efforts to counter gun violence.
The investment is one of $7 million in measures announced on Thursday during a news conference where Mayor Valérie Plante said the city is taking concrete steps to confront this "major societal problem" in the short and long term.
"We need to adapt and this is exactly what we want to do now," said Plante, citing a need to work more closely with youth while promoting violence prevention through social media.
The announcement comes as a forum on combating gun violence, which included the Montreal police service and some community groups, draws to a close.
According to a Montreal news release, the $2-million investment is the first youth fund of its kind in the city, and it will finance projects such as awareness campaigns and events. The investment will also go toward social, sports and cultural activities proposed by young people, in collaboration with community organizations.
"Beyond the immediate response to violent events, we need to look at the conditions that improve the quality of life and the journey of young people, and that can keep them away from crime and weapons," Plante said in the statement.
The city is also spending $5 million, starting in 2023, on infrastructure projects that meet the needs of young people, such as sports facilities, pump tracks for bikes, green alley projects and urban agriculture, the mayor said.
Another $400,000 will go into developing a telephone support-line service for families, the city said. The line will help direct families to services or any assistance they need.
The city, working with the police service, will be studying a second series of commitments that will include ramping up social media outreach and working closely with schools.
"It's not a done deal," added Plante. "It's a work in progress, really."
City works to build awareness, support families
Plante said the effort to curb gun violence, something that has become increasingly prevalent in Montreal in recent years, requires a multi-pronged approach that goes beyond policing by including support for families, awareness-building, education and prevention.
"Together, we share the responsibility of building on our ability to find concrete solutions," said Montreal police Chief Sylvain Caron in a statement.
Montreal's Plante administration has come under fire for not including a more diverse range of groups in the forum, but when asked about this on Thursday, the mayor said, "the entire process was very transparent."
Plante said there have been previous workshops and events with local organizations. She said roughly 120 participants were involved in the forum, which allowed for a deeper dive into the issue.
"This is just a start," said Plante, adding there will be another forum in the future.
That forum will be held in 2023 and it will be aimed at consolidating the work between various partners engaged in the fight against armed violence, the city says.
Opposition pans announcement
However, Montreal's opposition party says Plante's commitments to combating gun violence don't go far enough.
In a statement, Abdelhaq Sari, Ensemble Montréal's public security critic and vice-chair of the city's public security committee, said his party proposed in December that the participatory budget be used to build a sports centre in the borough of Montréal-Nord.
"This solution, much more concrete and expected by organizations and citizens, was refused," he said.
"On the other hand, we are satisfied that the sum of $400,000 has been invested for the creation of a telephone support line for families and an awareness campaign, as we proposed in a motion last February to a discussion with several groups." | https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/gun-violence-montreal-combating-1.6404569?cmp=rss | 2022-04-01T02:05:26Z |
A more infectious version of the omicron variant continues to gain traction in Los Angeles County, public health officials said Thursday, March 31. And while that traction has not yet translated into an upwards spike in hospitalizations, it has sparked caution amid the recent slow pace of congressional action vital to battling the disease, officials said.
BA.2 — a more infectious variant of COVID-19 — is on the rise in the county, detected in 32% of COVID infections sequenced during the week of March 12, according to County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer.
That doesn’t make it the dominant strain compared to its older sibling, omicron, which raged through the county in January, but it is definitely cause for caution, Ferrer said.
“This is double the percentage that was identified for the prior week (ending March 5),” Ferrer said. “And given that BA.2 is more infectious than the previous omicron strains, we expect that BA.2 now accounts for an even higher proportion of COVID-19 cases in L.A. County.”
As a result, Ferrer asked local residents to be prepared for the possibility that a new variant could provoke additional interventions and mitigation measures. Especially since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated this week that BA.2 is now the dominant variant in the United States.
In the meantime, however, the good news is that as of March 27 only 3% of emergency department encounters have been classified as COVID-related, reflecting a broader, steep decline in hospital admissions due to the disease.
The number of COVID-positive patients in county hospitals fell to 308 on Thursday, down from 325 on Wednesday. The number of those patients being treated in intensive care was 47, down from 51 a day earlier.
But like much in the pandemic era, good news often comes with a caveat. Thursday’s was that the county is beginning to see a leveling off of the declines in COVID case numbers that have marked the past several weeks, with the county now averaging about 660 cases per day.
“The rate of decline has been slower, and this week we’re not seeing any declines in the cases,” Ferrer said.
She said it’s too early to call that leveling-off a “concern,” but she termed it “notable.”
“At some point we knew that it was likely we were going to stop declining,” she said. “We know there’s still transmission. … Personally, I wish we were at a lower level when we’re doing this plateauing, but we have seen a significant decrease, and that’s the good news.”
It’s not unfamiliar territory in a two-year battle with the virus in which public health officials see declining numbers, they lift mandates only to see the numbers hit a baseline and then rise again.
Ferrer noted that the slowing of the decline could be related to the recent lifting of COVID health measures, such as indoor masking requirements. The county on Friday, along with the state, will lift the vaccine or negative-test verification requirement at indoor mega-events, such as sporting events and concerts.
“Every single time we have reduced the restrictions or levels of protection that are required, we have always seen an uptick (in cases),” Ferrer said. “The slowing of the decline can also be seen in some ways as an uptick.”
Los Angeles County Public Health reported 16 deaths due to COVID-19 and 784 new cases, slightly more than the region’s recent average of 600, a number that hasn’t been seen since July 2021, Ferrer said. The county’s rate of 66 new cases per 100,000 people is yet another positive sign of lower transmission.
Still, Ferrer encouraged residents to take steps now to maximize protection against spread of future variants of concern. This includes getting vaccinated, wearing a mask indoors and possibly talking to your provider about Evusheld, a new therapeutic for people 12 years and older.
Los Angeles County this week began offering second booster doses of COVID-19 vaccine, following approval of the additional Pfizer and Moderna shots by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The additional boosters were authorized for people who are age 50 and over, and who received their last booster shot at least four months ago.
Boosters are also available for younger people who are considered immunocompromised and at higher risk of severe illness from the virus.
“The truth is that given the threat of a more infectious virus circulating widely across the county, those who are unvaccinated, those that aren’t up to date on their boosters, those who are immunocompromised, those with underlying health conditions, and those with more exposures at work and in the community are at higher risk of getting infected, hospitalized and even dying,” Ferrer warned. “So taking time now to get vaccinated and boosted not only protects the person that’s going to get vaccinated, but it also reduces the risk of increased transmission across the county.”
To date, nearly three out of four residents ages five and older in L.A. County are fully vaccinated, which is good news. But Ferrer reminded the public that booster coverage remains disappointingly low in some of the county’s hardest hit communities, and these gaps “create a lot of risk.”
And while public health works with its vaccination partners to take steps to speed the pace of vaccination and boosters, Ferrer urged residents who aren’t sure whether they should get a second booster to discuss any questions with their providers.
“But if you are eligible for the second booster dose and you do want to increase your chances of not getting infected with COVID-19, you may want to go ahead and get that second booster dose now,” Ferrer said. “This is a time for everyone to use the tools at hand to increase levels of protection that can decrease personal and community risk.”
Those tools, particularly in low-income communities, where federally funded resources have ensured access to vaccines and to testing. But for weeks, Congress has stalled on measures that would provide fresh COVID-funding and federal reimbursements at local clinics.
Congress is being pressured to provide immediate funding to ensure the continued supply of vaccines, personal protective equipment, and other tools needed in the fight against coronavirus make it to providers of newly approved booster doses.
The Biden administration and other Democrats have warned the government is running out of money to counter the pandemic at a time when a new variant is spreading.
Since the pandemic began, Congress has approved more than $5 trillion to address the economic and health crises it produced.
But only a small fraction of that has been for public health programs like vaccines.
Lawmakers on Thursday appeared close to a deal on a scaled-back bipartisan compromise providing an infusion of $10 billion to combat COVID-19, a deal that could set up final congressional approval next week, according to the Associated Press.
But the slow pace of an agreement has been troubling for local public health experts battline omicon at the same time a new subvariant is gaining strength.
“It really is shameful, in the middle of a pandemic, that we’re all worrying about not having enough money to make sure that those folks with the least resources are going to have good access to what it takes to add on layers of protection from COVID,” Ferrer said . “We should have learned a lot of lessons by now.”

Life saving accolades were issued to numerous firefighters, city crew and police officers for their actions back in February.
The accolades are well deserved and a true testament to the effort of the firefighters, police and city crews who worked together.
As was noted by Mount Vernon Lisbon police chief Doug Shannon at the presentation, in 75 percent of cases involving a grain bin rescue, the results are not as successful. Part of that comes from dealing with grain itself. As farmer Allan Mallie noted in his own comments, one bushel of grain amounts to 56 pounds, and the grain bin they were working to open for transport had roughly 50,000 bushels of corn pouring out at a steady rate on the four men. It’s easy with that much corn and weight to find yourself caught in very dangerous territory quickly.
And for Mount Vernon Fire Department, it was an all-hands-on deck situation where they called for help from numerous neighboring first responder agencies, knowing time was of the essence and more hands to help dig and unbury men trapped in grain would be a benefit.
Aside from multiple city crews and other first responder agencies, citizens from the community were also bringing items like cat litter buckets, shovels and items first responders could use to move grain.
In the timeline indicated from Shannon, there were moments it seemed very chaotic at the scene, and the crews took measures that truly saved all four men who were buried in grain, including giving a self-contained breathing apparatus and mask to help pressurize a man’s airways from the crushing weight of grain and keep him from panicking to help give the crews more time to unbury him.
The Mount Vernon helpers were honored by the City of Mount Vernon at the March 21 council meeting, and Lisbon will be having a similar ceremony at the April 11 city council meeting.
These volunteers and first responders highlight again the greatness of these communities, willing to help their neighbors in need and put their strength together to turn an accident into a moment of community pride. | https://www.eastcentraliowanews.com/mvlsun/sun-editorial-first-responders-actions-deserve-accolades-from-city-citizens/article_6681155a-38b9-568b-bbef-25cda3673157.html | 2022-04-01T02:05:28Z |

Which reusable cotton pads are best?
If you’re looking to make your skincare routine more sustainable, swapping out single-use cotton pads for reusable ones cuts back on landfill waste. And they’ll save you money because you won’t need to keep buying packs of disposable pads every time you run out.
Reusable cotton pads can be washed and reused, and are great if you have sensitive skin. If you’re looking to use them for removing makeup, Greenzla Reusable Makeup Remover Pads is the top — and eco-friendly — choice.
What to know before you buy reusable cotton pads
Material
Not all reusable cotton pads are made from 100% cotton. In fact, many are made from bamboo-cotton blends, and some also add polyester into the mix.
Bamboo is highly renewable and also requires less water and pesticides than cotton cultivation. Some reusable “cotton” pads are actually made all from bamboo. They’re generally indistinguishable from 100% cotton pads and are just as gentle and soft on sensitive skin.
Uses
Popular uses for reusable cotton pads include makeup removal with an eye makeup remover, cleansing the face with micellar water, removing face masks and applying toners or astringents to the face. Unlike disposable cotton pads, reusable ones don’t fall apart or separate during more vigorous use, such as removing long-wear and waterproof makeup. Depending on the texture, some reusable pads can also be gently exfoliating and pair well with a facial or lip scrub.
Shape and size
Most reusable pads come in rounds, which are circular, with a diameter ranging between 2.75-3.75 inches. You can find select pads in square or even heart shapes.
Count
After you use a reusable pad once, you’ll need to wash it, which is why they come in multipacks ranging from 10 to 40 pads. Consider how often you’ll realistically do laundry when choosing how many you want to purchase. More pads mean laundering them less often.
Texture
Many reusable cotton pads have a smooth texture that won’t scratch the skin. However, some are double-sided, with a raised, more exfoliating texture on one side and a smooth surface on the other. You can also find packs that mix exfoliating pads, which feature a scrubby terry cloth surface or a raised one, with ones that feature a velour and smooth surface.
What to look for in quality reusable cotton pads
Holder
Many reusable pads come with a holder that keeps your clean pads tidy and stacked. Holders are made from bamboo, cardboard, plastic, metal or basket material. Some holders are more attractive than others. Consider your bathroom or vanity aesthetic when buying pads that come with a holder.
Laundry bag
Many reusable pads also come with a mesh laundry bag that can also be used to store or transport them. This bag features either a string or zipper closure to keep your pads separate from the rest of your laundry in the washing machine.
Organic
Not all cotton is organic. If you have sensitive skin or use non-toxic skincare, be sure that your pads are organic and do not contain pesticides. Typically, bamboo is not treated with pesticides or chemical fertilizers, but it’s always wise to look for that organic label to be on the safe side.
Also called a finger pouch, reusable pads featuring a pocket provide a place for your fingers to slip inside for a more secure hold while you maneuver them. Some reusable cotton pads instead come with a finger strap.
Color
Most reusable pads are white. However, white shows stains, which is why some manufacturers offer black pads. You can also find multipacks that mix colors such as black, gray, pink, blue and green. Be aware that many colored pads are actually made from microfiber, a synthetic material, and don’t contain cotton or bamboo.
How much you can expect to spend on reusable cotton pads
They range in price from 25 cents to $1.50 per pad.
Reusable cotton pads FAQ
How do you wash reusable cotton pads?
A. First, always follow the care instructions provided by the manufacturer. In general, reusable pads can be placed inside a mesh laundry bag and washed in the washing machine on a cold/gentle cycle. You can also hand-wash them.
Do I need to use makeup remover with a reusable cotton pad?
A. Generally, yes. Saturate the pad with liquid makeup remover and wipe until your makeup is gone. There are specific reusable makeup-remover pads that can remove makeup with water alone, but not all reusable cotton pads are designed to do that.

Disney production coordinator for new animated show Moon Girl reveals firm is creating starring roles for trans characters to change what is viewed as 'normal' in leaked video meeting
- Allen March, a production coordinator currently working on Moon Girl, told an internal Disney forum about efforts to introduce more LGBTQ+ characters
- March said that there needed to be a greater awareness of the impact of Disney on children's lives, and how they needed to show what 'normal' was
- He told how he had kept a tracker for trans and 'gender non-conforming' characters on Moon Girl, and realized they were all background characters
- Moon Girl, about a nine-year-old superhero in New York, does not have any openly gay or trans characters, leading to speculation they may be introduced
- Disney is currently wrestling with controversy surrounding the CEO Bob Chapek's response to Florida's controversial 'Don't Say Gay' bill
- The bill bans discussion of gay issues in school with young children: supporters say it protects children, while critics say it makes them feel abnormal
A Disney production coordinator has revealed that the company is working to promote transgender and non-binary characters, adding that the company has been 'really open to exploring queer stories.'
Allen March was speaking at an internal Disney event as part of the company's 'Reimagine Tomorrow' initiative.
The scheme, launched in September, is described by Disney as 'our way of amplifying underrepresented voices and untold stories as well as championing the importance of accurate representation in media and entertainment.'
It vows that 50 percent of characters and content would be from underrepresented groups by 2022.
March said he worked on the Marvel comic story Moon Girl, executive produced by Laurence Fishburne, which tells the story of a nine-year-old genius named Lunella Lafayette who forges a telepathic bond with a gigantic dinosaur, after accidentally bringing it into the present through a time vortex. The animated show will run on the Disney Channel this summer, though an exact debut date has not been set.
March told the online forum held Monday that he kept a tally of LGBTQ+ characters in the film, in a bid to ensure there was greater diversity on screen.
Allen March, a Disney production coordinator, said in an internal discussion as part of the company's 'Reimagine Tomorrow' that he was keeping a tally of gender non-conforming characters
March said he has worked for two years on Moon Girl, a Disney adaptation of the Marvel comic showing a superhero in New York City
'I've had the privilege of working with the Moon Girl team for the last two years, and they've been really open to exploring queer stories,' he said.
'I'm on the production side.
'Part of the work that I feel like I can put in is, making sure that - we take place in modern day New York.
Laurence Fishburne is an executive producer of Moon Girl, and voices one of the characters
'So making sure that that's an accurate reflection of New York.
'I put together a tracker of our background characters to make sure that we have the full breadth of expression.'
March said that he and his colleagues realized that there were no leading characters who were 'gender non-conforming', which he said meant they were unable to give their stories 'nuance'.
Moon Girl's story does not center on any gay or trans characters, leading to speculation that they could be introduced in future series.
'We got into a very similar conversation that was like - oh, all of our gender non-conforming characters are in the background,' March explained.
'So it's not just a numbers game of how many LGBTQ+ characters you have.
'The more centered a story is on a character, the more nuanced you get to get into their story.
'Especially with trans characters.
'You can't see if someone is trans. There is not one way to look trans.
'So kind of the only way to have these canonical trans characters, these canonical asexual characters, canonical bisexual characters, is to give them stories where they can be their whole selves.'
Fishburne is seen recording his voiceover for Moon Girl, in which he plays Beyonder - described by Disney as 'a curious, mischievous, mercurial being. He's a comedically impish and self-centered trickster. While the all-knowing, all-powerful Beyonder is brilliant when it comes to the makeup of matter and the universe, he is clueless about humans'
Fishburne voices Beyonder, while Pops - Lunella's grandfather - is voiced by Gary Anthony Williams. Mimi, Lunella's grandmother, is portrayed by Alfre Woodard
Disney CEO Bob Chapek announced earlier this month that he would be meeting with DeSantis to oppose the bill
In a different clip of the discussion, obtained by City Journal journalist Christopher Rufo - who specializes in stories about culture wars and education - March says that Disney was aware of its need to show 'what is normal'.
'All of this content is going to kids, who don't know any of this,' said March.
'And even if they're in a household like Heath that has supportive parents, they are still getting all of this information from media of what is normal.
'And there is a lot of power to that.
'And it just needs to be acknowledged.'
Disney's policies towards both LGBTQ+ characters in their films, and issues in the real world, have been in the spotlight in recent months, posing thorny questions for the new CEO, who took over a year ago.
Disney's tepid response to the controversial bill led to protests and worker walkouts
Bob Chapek has been dogged by questions as to why Disney did not speak out publicly against Florida's controversial 'Don't Say Gay' bill, which bans discussion of LGBTQ+ issues in schools among young children.
Chapek said that his team discussed the issues with Florida's governor, Ron DeSantis, behind the scenes.
Disney employees walked out of the company headquarters last week to protest the slow response to the Florida law.
Parents hit the company from the other side for what they said was pandering to liberal politics.
Chapek's predecessor, Bob Iger, on Thursday criticized Chapek's handling of the situation.
Disney employs 77,000 people in Florida.
'A lot of these issues are not necessarily political,' Iger told CNN+ host Chris Wallace.
'It's about right and wrong. So, I happen to feel and I tweeted an opinion about the 'Don't Say Gay' bill in Florida.
'To me, it wasn't about politics. It is about what is right and what is wrong, and that just seemed wrong. It seemed potentially harmful to kids.'
On Monday, a Disney executive in charge of content vowed to up the ante on gender politics during an all-hands meeting, promising that at least half of the characters in its productions will be LGBTQIA or from racial minorities by the end of the year.
General entertainment president Karey Burke said during a company-wide Zoom call that Disney must do more to be more inclusive.
Burke choked up in the meeting, saying the issue hit close to home because of her children.
'I'm here as the mother of two queer children, actually, one transgender child and one pansexual child, and also as a leader,' she said.
During the same all-hands meeting, television animation executive producer Latoya Raveneau gushed about Disney's inclusivity and boasted about 'adding queerness' to shows and productions.
'Our leadership over there has been so welcoming to my not-so-secret gay agenda,' she said.
'Wherever I could I was adding queerness. No one would stop me and no one was trying to stop me.'
Disney has reportedly reinstated a gay kiss in its upcoming Toy Story spinoff amid the criticism. Hawthorne (voiced by Uzo Aduba), a character in the film Lightyear, has a relationship with another female character in the film
Disney president Karey Burke said that her own children identify as 'pansexual' and 'transgender'
Disney's diversity and inclusion chief Vivain Ware said that they no longer address the visitors as 'ladies and gentleman, boys and girls,' they now say 'Dreamers of all ages'
Meanwhile, the animation and live-action movie company announced that it would increase the number of gay characters in its films.
'I have heard so much from so many of my colleagues over the past few weeks in open forums, through emails and phone conversations,' Burke said.
'I feel a responsibility to speak not just for my self but also for [my kids].'
She defended 20th Century Fox as 'the home of really incredible, groundbreaking LGBTQIA stories over the years.'
But she said that it hasn't been inclusive enough.
'One of our execs stood up and said, 'You know we only have a handful of queer leads in our content,' Burke said. 'I went, 'What? That can't be true. And then I realized it is true.'
Disney said their sensitivity to nonbinary people is nothing new they are working on eliminating gendered pronouns in their theme parks.
'Last summer we removed all gendered greetings in relationship to our live spiels,' Diversity and Inclusion Vivian Ware said at Monday's town hall.
'We no longer say 'Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,' she said. 'We've provided training to all our cast members so now they know it's 'Hello, everyone or hello, friends'
Disney expressed support for the demonstration in a Facebook post Tuesday morning
Scar from the Lion King has been speculated to be a queer character
Ursula of 'The Little Mermaid' has also said to be gender nonconforming
Disney's sudden sexual awakening, may be a bit of rebranding.
The internet is awash with stories about gay characters in their animated films.
Governor Ratcliffe from 'Pocahontas', Ursula of 'The Little Mermaid,' and Scar from 'The Lion King' have all been speculated to be queer or queer-coded.
Le Fou, the bumbling sidekick in 'Beauty and the Beast' is said to be the first openly gay character.

SCREVEN COUNTY, Ga. — The family of Julian Lewis, a Black man shot and killed by a state trooper in southeast Georgia more than a year ago, has reached a nearly $5 million settlement with the state according to their attorneys.
In a release, lawyers with Hall & Lampros, LLP said Lewis' widow Betty secured what they said was a record settlement with the state of Georgia, $4.8 million.
"While the record-making settlement does not bring back her husband for widow Betty Lewis and other family and loved ones, it sends a powerful message to the State and those in law enforcement and other positions of power that unnecessary use of force against innocent citizens is unlawful, morally corrupt and carries legal consequences," the law firm said in its release.
According to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, Lewis was shot once and killed by Jacob Thompson, a white trooper, following a chase in Screven County on Aug. 7, 2020.
The attorneys for Lewis' widow said Thompson initiated a traffic stop for an alleged broken taillight, even though his taillight was not broken. They said he was on his way to the store to buy a soda for his wife when the incident began.
The GBI has said Lewis did not stop, and that the subsequent chase went down several county roads, ending when Thompson performed a PIT maneuver.
According to the bureau, Thompson "fired one round" and Lewis was pronounced dead at the scene.
"It is believed that Lewis was attempting to drive toward a more familiar area where he knew other people would be present — a practice commonly taught to people who may feel vulnerable in isolated areas where there is nobody else present to witness events," attorneys said, describing the events leading to Lewis' death. "Lewis activated his turn signals in both directions, which is often a sign of acknowledgement to an officer."
They said that "less than two seconds passed from the time the trooper opened the door" to the time he fired the shot that killed Lewis.
The attorneys also said they reviewed an incident report, in which Thompson wrote he heard Lewis' engine "revving at a high rate of speed" and making him fear for his life.
According to the law firm, though, an investigation "proved that neither taillight on Lewis’s car was in a condition to justify probable cause for a stop, and that the PIT maneuver caused Lewis’s battery cable and air filter to disengage — which completely disabled the engine in his Nissan Sentra, making it impossible to rev as the trooper stated in the incident report."
The attorneys said they have never been given the dashcam video from the shooting, and that there was no bodycam video.
The settlement is "the largest in Georgia history in state records dating back to 1990," the law firm said.
“Our hearts grieve for Betty Lewis, who lost her Golden Years with her husband because of unwarranted and unnecessary deadly force during what should have been a routine traffic stop,” Andrew Lampros, the co-founder of the firm, said. | https://www.13wmaz.com/article/news/state/julian-lewis-death-georgia-state-trooper-5-million-settlement/85-e296c3cf-bd90-4554-af77-51923d99158f | 2022-04-01T02:05:32Z |
WASHINGTON — The House on Thursday passed a bill capping the monthly cost of insulin at $35 for insured patients, part of an election-year push by Democrats for price curbs on prescription drugs at a time of rising inflation.
Experts say the legislation, which passed 232-193, would provide significant relief for privately insured patients with skimpier plans and for Medicare enrollees facing rising out-of-pocket costs for their insulin. Some could save hundreds of dollars annually, and all insured patients would get the benefit of predictable monthly costs for insulin. The bill would not help the uninsured.
But the Affordable Insulin Now Act will serve as a political vehicle to rally Democrats and force Republicans who oppose it into uncomfortable votes ahead of the midterms. For the legislation to pass Congress, 10 Republican senators would have to vote in favor. Democrats acknowledge they don't have an answer for how that's going to happen.
“If 10 Republicans stand between the American people being able to get access to affordable insulin, that's a good question for 10 Republicans to answer,” said Rep. Dan Kildee, D-Mich., a cosponsor of the House bill. “Republicans get diabetes, too. Republicans die from diabetes.”
Public opinion polls have consistently shown support across party lines for congressional action to limit drug costs.
But Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., complained the legislation is only “a small piece of a larger package around government price controls for prescription drugs." Critics say the bill would raise premiums and fails to target pharmaceutical middlemen seen as contributing to high list prices for insulin.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said Democrats could have a deal on prescription drugs if they drop their bid to authorize Medicare to negotiate prices. “Do Democrats really want to help seniors, or would they rather have the campaign issue?" Grassley said.
The insulin bill, which would take effect in 2023, represents just one provision of a much broader prescription drug package in President Joe Biden's social and climate legislation.
In addition to a similar $35 cap on insulin, the Biden bill would authorize Medicare to negotiate prices for a range of drugs, including insulin. It would penalize drugmakers who raise prices faster than inflation and overhaul the Medicare prescription drug benefit to limit out-of-pocket costs for enrollees.
Biden's agenda passed the House only to stall in the Senate because Democrats could not reach consensus. Party leaders haven't abandoned hope of getting the legislation moving again, and preserving its drug pricing curbs largely intact.
The idea of a $35 monthly cost cap for insulin actually has a bipartisan pedigree. The Trump administration had created a voluntary option for Medicare enrollees to get insulin for $35, and the Biden administration continued it.
In the Senate, Republican Susan Collins of Maine and Democrat Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire are working on a bipartisan insulin bill. Georgia Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock has introduced legislation similar to the House bill, with the support of Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York.
Stung by criticism that Biden's economic policies spur inflation, Democrats are redoubling efforts to show how they'd help people cope with costs. On Thursday, the Commerce Department reported a key inflation gauge jumped 6.4% in February compared with a year ago, the largest year-over-year rise since January 1982.
But experts say the House bill would not help uninsured people, who face the highest out-of-pocket costs for insulin. Also, people with diabetes often take other medications as well as insulin. That's done to treat the diabetes itself, along with other serious health conditions often associated with the disease. The House legislation would not help with those costs, either. Collins says she's looking for a way to help uninsured people through her bill.
About 37 million Americans have diabetes, and an estimated 6 million to 7 million use insulin to keep their blood sugars under control. It’s an old drug, refined and improved over the years, that has seen relentless price increases.
Steep list prices don't reflect the rates insurance plans negotiate with manufacturers. But those list prices are used to calculate cost-sharing amounts that patients owe. Patients who can’t afford their insulin reduce or skip doses, a strategy born of desperation, which can lead to serious complications and even death.
Economist Sherry Glied of New York University said the market for insulin is a “total disaster” for many patients, particularly those with skimpy insurance plans or no insurance.
“This will make private insurance for people with diabetes a much more attractive proposition,” said Glied. | https://www.krem.com/article/news/nation-world/insulin-cap-35-dollars-month-bill/507-855508ee-6b9d-4ce8-9937-22fa115af232 | 2022-04-01T02:05:32Z |
Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón announced Thursday, March 31, he has joined forces with public defenders and nonprofit organizations to establish a pilot diversion program for human trafficking victims to help restore their lives outside the criminal justice system.
The county’s first Human Trafficking Diversion Court program will be launched at the Pomona courthouse, with the hope of expanding it to other areas of Los Angeles County plagued by human trafficking, according to the District Attorney’s Office.
“The purpose of this program is very simple,” Gascon said during a news conference. “It is to divert victims of human trafficking away from the criminal justice system and into a trauma-informed holistic system of care. Adults and children alike are forced into human trafficking and become vulnerable and repeatedly extorted. Their hopes vanish and their confidence is repeatedly trampled upon and too far often they are over-criminalized. But together with our guidance and all of these groups coming together we can make a difference.”.
Los Angeles County Public Defender Ricardo García joined Gascón in announcing the pilot court program, which is in session every Thursday at Pomona Superior Court.
“For far too long young people forced into labor, sexual exploitation and sex work for the profit or the benefit of others have been victimized by harsh treatment in our criminal legal system,” Garcia said. “In the past there was a belief and a practice that only criminal charges and incarceration were the appropriate answers for their exploitation-based conduct. As public defenders, we have seen the destruction of far too many lives due to these ideas and practices.”
Variety of services
The diversion program will offer a variety of services, including individual and group counseling for alcohol and substance abuse, mental health treatment, job training, career opportunities, educational and financial planning, resume services and criminal record clearing.
“Research shows that providing counseling, education and skills training to persons involved in human trafficking redirects these individuals to a brighter and more productive path and also prevents recidivism in great numbers,” Garcia said.
Those sentiments were echoed by Los Angeles County Alternate Public Defender Erika Anzoategui, whose office represents defendants charged with a crime who cannot afford to hire a private attorney and where Garcia’s office has a conflict of interest.
”This is a historic moment and a long-needed program to help people,” she said. “I am glad we have come together in a collaborative fashion to actually look at the needs of our clients instead of just incarceration. Incarceration is not the answer to trauma.”
Individuals who have been identified as trafficking victims and face misdemeanor or non-serious, non-violent felony charges are eligible for the program. Participants are referred to Human Trafficking Court by defense attorneys, prosecutors or law enforcement agencies.
A judge will approve the suitability of each participant, who will be assigned to a community-based organization for treatment and services. After completion of the diversionary program, a judge can dismiss and vacate the person’s arrest, convictions and probation violations.
Most have no criminal history
Pallavi Garg, an attorney for Free to Thrive, a nonprofit that provides trafficking victims legal and support services, said about 90% of the agency’s clients have a criminal record tied to their trafficking experience. Most had never been arrested before they were trafficked, she added.
“That is exactly why this (trafficking) courtroom is essential,” Garg said. “When we talk to survivors, they universally say the same thing, that nobody — not the police officers, not the defense attorneys, not the prosecutors, not the judges — ever stop to ask them why (they have no previous criminal history). That allows traffickers to continue to recruit, groom and victimize more people while their other victims are serving out long sentences.”
Claremont Mayor Jed Leano applauded the program, adding that human trafficking is the biggest public safety threat facing his city.
”This program is the right step forward to try to create an unfettered and direct pipeline for victims of trafficking and the services that can end the cycle of violence and coercion,” he said. | https://www.dailybulletin.com/2022/03/31/da-gascon-announces-diversion-program-for-human-trafficking-victims/ | 2022-04-01T02:05:33Z |

Montreal police say it happened around 2:30 p.m. near the intersection of 9th Avenue and Beaubien Street East.
The truck was coming out of an alley onto 9th when it hit the man who was walking on the sidewalk, police say. The man then fell and the truck rolled over him.

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to join the U. S. Supreme Court. After all the gashing of teeth, etc., we predict that she will gain approval. We hear many Republican lawmakers trying to oppose her but fear a charge of racial profiling and will skip the vote or vote for her to prevent the backlash. Listening to some of the hours-long questioning for Jackson was entertaining for a while but became boring and worse - embarrassing. Clearly some of the lawmakers were only opposed because she was nominated by a Democrat, but they couldn’t find intelligent sounding questions to ask her.
A friend (retired college educator) commented on social media that he first thought the comic TV show ‘He Haw” was returning to the airways, but soon realized he was hearing excerpts of the Judge Jackson hearing.
The Alabama legislature is tackling state budgets with teacher pay and competing gambling bills absorbing a good bit of the final days of session. Senator Greg Albritton is championing a state lottery, sports betting, eight full casinos with slots and table games plus two smaller sites that could have up to 300 slot machines each. A house bill is for only a lottery. Representative Chip Brown, sponsor of this bill, said Thursday he is confident on getting the bill approved in the House. Both of these bills have three hurdles to get a bill on the governor’s desk and THEN a vote of the people of Alabama.
Also getting a lot of chatter in the Legislature this year is a proposal for a Literacy Act delay and 3rd graders not proficient in reading being held back enforcement to the 2023-2024 school year. Then - charter school funding, plus Numeracy - improve math education grades K-5; Divisive concepts opponents say this bill is aimed to ban Critical Race Theory teaching.
The feds have just approved a second Pfizer and Moderna COVID booster shot for those of us who have had the first round plus one booster and are “over 50”. These boosters are “at least four months after the last shot” Experts are nervous over the latest discovered omicron variant “BA.2”. It seems to be a milder form of the virus but has proven much more contagious in China and Europe. Also approval was given for Moderna and Pfizer shots for younger people with compromised immune systems.
For the record, we will be in line for the additional booster shot just as soon as our four-month period from the previous shot has passed. Hope to see all our readers in the same line! Now – we have noticed these lines are not the same lines military recruits are in with needles coming from both sides and if you didn’t move along, an enterprising medic would ‘double shoot’ you with whatever was loaded in his needles or ‘shot gun’.

Be safe, wear your mask when appropriate, social distance, wash your hands AND get the shot(s) and/or boosters! | https://www.elba-clipper.com/editorial/brainstorms-for-3-31-2022/article_8531f2f4-b07c-11ec-aff8-1fa03bb48fd1.html | 2022-04-01T02:05:34Z |
Perhaps it is a spoiler to advertise that John Smith, the man whose family’s story of him falling through the ice of a lake in 2015 is depicted in the movie “Break Through”, will be in attendance for the movie night and the first night of Return 2022. But that is how the revival will get underway in Troutman on Saturday starting at 8 p.m.
“We’ve heard of miracles our whole lives,” Mark Cash said, one of Return 2022’s organizers. “Smith is a walking, talking miracle of God.”
The movie tells a dramatized version of how Smith slipped through the ice and was under water for 15 minutes before resuscitative efforts could begin. Smith was in a coma as his family prayed for his recovery despite the odds.
“It shows God is real. It shows the faith his mother had was real. She refused to believe what the doctors told her. The fact that he is still here will be an inspiration to everyone,” Brian Summers said, one of the event organizers.
The movie night, where free food and refreshments will be served as well, hopes to bring people in for what will be at least four days of a more traditional revival atmosphere from Sunday to Wednesday. Each night with gates opening at 5:30 p.m., music at 7 p.m., and then speakers taking the stage at 7:30 p.m. There will be vendors and concessions Sunday through Wednesday, the organizers said.

The people organizing the event believe that a revival, not only in Troutman, but throughout the country is needed.
“We see this as the only way our country will get on track, we see it going down the wrong country in an hurry,” Ben Shelton said. He is the executive director of Return 2022. “Jesus Christ, faith and love in Jesus Christ, that’s the most important part of the Gospel for people to understand. They said, “What is the greatest commandment?” He said, “Love the Lord thy God with all your soul and strength.”
“The second is to love your neighbor as yourself. If we loved our neighbors as ourselves, we would end all the issues we have today in a hurry.”
Evangelizing and drawing the community together is the goal for Shelton and the other organizers as they bring speakers like Clayton King (Sunday and Monday), Mark Robinson (Tuesday), and Frank Shelton to Troutman to share the Gospel.
“The goal is the people of the churches are revived and rally to the point that they want to do more with the Great Commission, which is to make more disciples. Love is really the momentum,” Shelton said. “If that happens, there can truly be a great revival.”
The tent can hold 1,200 chairs, and organizers hope people will pack inside, and outside if they can reach them with their words and actions. said the planning process began months ago. Organizers said the event had been in their minds since the morning after a young girl was shot and killed and two boys were wounded in south Statesville. Shelton said that moment galvanized him and others to take action as they saw a need for change.
“If that wasn’t a sign that this needed to get going ... the world is full of hate, and people need to know the Lord’s love,” Cash said. “God leads you, you follow God’s direction. Once it’s put on your heart, you follow in his footsteps.”
For Cash and others, putting the event together was about acting on that call to action they felt, and not simply hoping for change.
“We believe if we can help give the community a focus, to turn to some of the core values of family and love. The purpose of the revival is to spark that in the communities and cities around us,” Summer said.

Numerous fires raged through the Ponderosa area at Nolin Lake, destroying several homes on Wednesday afternoon.
What initially began as one reported structure fire near Ponderosa Boat Dock at around 3 p.m. Wednesday quickly escalated as reports of a propane tank exploding and several more structures catching fire came rolling in.
Details were few at press time Thursday morning, as firefighters were on scene battling the blazes until after 7 p.m. Wednesday.
Fire department personnel from the Anneta, Clarkson, East Grayson, Leitchfield, and Wax fire departments, as well as the Lincoln Volunteer Fire Department from neighboring Edmonson County, responded to combat the blazes.
Also assisting on the scene were the Clarkson Police Department, Grayson County Sheriff’s Office, and Grayson County EMS, the latter of which reportedly tended to at least two patients, one of whom suffered a burn to the hand while the other was given oxygen after inhaling smoke.
Seven homes were believed to have been destroyed as a result of Wednesday’s fires, according to Grayson County Judge Executive Kevin Henderson.
Several other homes sustained damages as well, though they were not ruled total losses. Numerous vehicles were also destroyed, and many fires broke out in wooded areas surrounding the Ponderosa area.
“We’re lucky we didn’t have 30 houses destroyed,” said Henderson, who estimated that there were likely millions of dollars in damages as a result of Wednesday’s fires.
As firefighters worked to combat the blazes, so did many area residents, who sprayed their own properties down with water hoses to help prevent the spread and aided first responders.
After 5 p.m., the Kentucky Division of Forestry and American Red Cross arrived on the scene to provide additional assistance.
As fires raged in the Ponderosa area, another structure fire broke out on Phelps Johnson Road Wednesday afternoon, as did a large grass fire off of Rock Creek Road.
“I’ve been in public service for 35 years, and I’ve never seen anything like that,” said Henderson. “This is a perfect example of why everyone needs to support their fire departments and pay their fire dues because this is how these departments are funded.”
Henderson commended all of Grayson County’s fire departments for their efforts Wednesday, as well as the residents of Ponderosa and other-area county fire departments for assisting.
Grayson County News will have updates on the extent of the damages from Wednesday’s fires in next week’s edition. | https://www.messenger-inquirer.com/grayson_county/news/fires-ravage-nolin-lake-community/article_fe8bef92-be2d-50f1-abb6-5ca0edee1e6e.html | 2022-04-01T02:05:34Z |
On a frigid Saturday in Ann Arbor, then-No. 4 Northwestern Lacrosse took on the then-No. 12 Michigan Wolverines in what would be a gritty and chilly game.
This game was especially meaningful for Head Coach Kelly Amonte-Hiller, as her former player Hannah Nielsen is now the head coach at Michigan. Nielsen won four consecutive national championships at Northwestern, where she made her presence known as one of the best to ever don the purple and white.
The ‘Cats were coming off of two sizable victories, beating the Ohio State Buckeyes 22-14 and the Dartmouth Big Green 18-8. These wins both took place at home, in the warm confines of the Ryan Fieldhouse. In fact, Northwestern’s only two losses so far occurred at away games in Chapel Hill and Chestnut Hill.
Michigan boasts one of the best defenses in the country, headlined by their goalkeeper Arielle Weissman and defenders Maddie Burns and Morgan Whitaker. They currently rank second in the nation in scoring defense, only allowing an average of 7.73 goals per game.
The key to this game for Northwestern was to win draw controls in order to gain possession early—thankfully, this went as planned with Jill Girardi at the helm in the circle, where she is third in the nation in draw controls per game with 9.88.
The ‘Cats ultimately won 15 draw controls to Michigan’s 10, with Girardi nabbing seven and Lauren Gilbert and Brennan Dwyer each adding three apiece. Going into the second half, Northwestern outscored the Wolverines on the draw 9-1.
As was expected, Michigan’s defense was very physical and Northwestern often found themselves with player-up advantages and free position shots, which they used to their advantage.
On the offensive end, Senior Elle Hansen has been a wonderful addition after returning from an ACL injury suffered in last year’s Big Ten Championship game. She notched an impressive four goals for a new game high. Girardi also had four goals along with her seven draw controls, while Erin Coykendall tallied two goals and three assists.
While the ‘Cats leading scorer in Gilbert didn’t have a goal against Michigan, she was a huge presence on the attack with five assists.
But, perhaps one of the best performances in this game came from goalkeeper Madison Doucette, who was just announced as a member of USA Lacrosse’s world games roster this summer as well as the B1G Defensive Player of the Week. Doucette had a career-high 16 saves with nine goals allowed, as is reflected in the final score 12-9.
As far as more conference awards go, Girardi also earned midfielder of the week and Sammy White was awarded the Freshman of the Week for her career-high three ground balls.

After only one goal was scored in total by the end of the first quarter, the ‘Cats quickly jumped from a 1-0 lead to a 3-0 lead just a few minutes into the second frame. Soon after, Michigan cut the lead to one with a score of 3-2.
To begin the second half, the Wolverines went on a three-goal run to tie the game at 7. The ‘Cats then fired back two of their own to take a 9-7 lead, and the Wolverines were able to add only one more before Northwestern went on a three-goal run. The game ended with Michigan’s Erin Garvey’s second goal of the regulation with less than a minute to go, but the final score was in Northwestern’s favor.
After the ‘Cats other conference foe, then-No. 3 Maryland, suffered their first loss of the season to James Madison, they fell to No. 8 in the polls and Northwestern moved up from No. 4 to take the Terps’ spot. This is NU’s highest ranking of the season thus far, trailing No. 1 North Carolina and No. 2 Boston College, both of whom handed Northwestern its only losses so far.
Now on a four-game win streak, the ‘Cats will travel to State College to face Penn State and the University of Pennsylvania this weekend before returning home to face No. 8 Rutgers. | https://www.insidenu.com/2022/3/31/23003660/lacrosse-cats-rise-to-no-3-in-country-2-0-in-b1g-play | 2022-04-01T02:05:34Z |

Premier highlights how province will build on its success in state of the province speech
CANADA, April 1 - FREDERICTON (GNB) – Premier Blaine Higgs delivered his annual state of the province address today, highlighting how the province is emerging from the pandemic stronger than ever and will continue to build on successes in health care, child welfare, making life affordable, and the economy.
“Thanks to strategic decision-making and a focus on what is important to New Brunswickers, there is a real sense of optimism in the province,” said Higgs. “Overcoming the challenges we faced over the last couple of years has left us feeling re-energized and ready to build on our success and find new opportunities to grow.”
He said the province’s economy is recovering faster than expected and that private investment is up. Over $2 billion was invested by private firms last year in capital construction and machinery and equipment. Statistics Canada predicts that capital investments from both private and public sources will exceed $4 billion this year.
Higgs noted that employment in the province hit an all-time high in November and that construction is booming. As well, New Brunswick had the nation’s second-largest growth in exports last year. The province has also experienced its highest population gains in 45 years, recently topping 800,000 residents.
To build on this momentum, Higgs announced that Opportunities NB will be launching an Immigration Navigator service in the weeks ahead to become more agile in helping employers and newcomers.
Higgs said the government is committed to playing a leadership role in energy innovation, ensuring Canada is recognized as a global leader in emissions reduction. Nuclear energy is a key resource in the transition to a low-carbon future and, as one of only two provinces in Canada with nuclear expertise, New Brunswick is well positioned to lead this evolution, he said.
To ensure prosperity across the province, Higgs said, communities must be vibrant, sustainable and safe places that are capable of attracting and retaining talent, and they must be inclusive.
Higgs said the government must also continue to make investments in health care. As was recently announced in the 2022-23 budget, over $3 billion has been allocated to the health-care system, which is the largest increase since 2008.
He said New Brunswick must also invest in education to allow every student to reach their full potential. This includes ensuring students have a solid foundation in literacy, math, language and computer skills, as well as exposing them to different career opportunities.
Higgs said that one of the reasons people want to live in New Brunswick and raise their children here is because of the province’s rich and vast natural spaces.
“In the coming months you will see us introduce more steps to maintain important biodiversity, protect waterways, and ensure abundant wildlife and fish habitats,” said Higgs. “You will see historic changes to private woodlot management to better assist landowners in the stewardship of their lands.”
Now that the province’s borders are open once again, Higgs said, the government is dreaming big and wants to build New Brunswick into a top vacation destination for visitors from around the world.
“Next week we are launching a new campaign, targeting New Brunswickers, to encourage them to share their experience and invite friends and family to discover all of the great things that New Brunswick has to offer,” said Higgs. “We know when people experience everything that we have to offer, they will want to stay longer. Maybe even a lifetime.”

Razzie Awards rescind The Worst Performance by Bruce Willis in a Bruce Willis movie after learning of his aphasia diagnosis and call it 'inappropriate'
- Willis, 67, was up for the Worst Performance by Bruce Willis award at the Razzies for his role in American Siege and seven other films in 2021
- The show's co-founders John Wilson and Mo Murphy decided to 'rescind the Razzie Award given to Bruce Willis due to his recently disclosed diagnosis'
- They also announced they found out about the Emmy award-winning actor's diagnosis at the same time everyone else did
- Willis announced on Wednesday he's retiring from acting after he was diagnosed with aphasia, a brain condition that affects his ability to understand language
- Willis has reportedly been struggling with cognitive issues on the sets of his films for years and even needed an earpiece to feed him lines
Parody award show the Razzies revoked a snarky honor given to Bruce Willis after learning about his aphasia diagnosis, calling it 'inappropriate' to denigrate the entertainer for his bad acting while he was suffering from a medical condition.
Willis, 67, was roasted for the Worst Performance by Bruce Willis in a 2021 Movie award at the Golden Raspberries (Razzies), which honored actors for their under-achievements last week, for his role in American Siege and seven other films last year.
The show's co-founders John Wilson and Mo Murphy said in a statement to the New York Post: 'After much thought and consideration, the Razzies have made the decision to rescind the Razzie Award given to Bruce Willis, due to his recently disclosed diagnosis.
'If someone’s medical condition is a factor in their decision making and/or their performance, we acknowledge that it is not appropriate to give them a Razzie.'
Willis, 67, was up for the Worst Performance by Bruce Willis award at the Razzies for his role in American Siege and seven other films in 2021
The parody award show revoked the honor on Wednesday after Willis' family announced he was diagnosed with aphasia, which has caused the actor to retire to the entertainment industry
A Razzie award
The award show also rescinding The Shining star Shelley Duvall's award after it was revealed Stanley Kubrick’s 'pulverizing' treatment of the actress affected her performance as he bullied her on set.
'We would like to take this opportunity to rescind that nomination as well,' the co-founders said.
Willis was nominated eight times in the Worst Performance by Bruce Willis category for the 2021 films he starred in, which included American Siege, Cosmic Sin, Apex, Deadlock, Fortress, Midnight in the Switchgrass, Out of Death, and Survive the Game.
Following the shocking news of the actor's diagnosis, the Razzies tweeted on Wednesday: 'The Razzies are truly sorry for #BruceWillis diagnosed condition. Perhaps this explains why he wanted to go out with a bang in 2021. Our best wishes to Bruce and family.
'To clarify, we heard about Willis' diagnosis at the same time everyone else did...just this morning.'
The world was shocked by the news this week that Willis is retiring from acting after he was diagnosed with aphasia, a brain condition that affects his ability to understand language.
Willis has reportedly been struggling with cognitive issues on the sets of his films for years - and even needed an earpiece to feed him lines - long before his family announced on Wednesday that the famed actor had been diagnosed with a brain condition.
In addition, he reportedly fired a gun loaded with blanks twice on the wrong cue and wondering aloud what he was doing on a set, according to people who have worked with him.

Willis was nominated eight times in the Worst Performance by Bruce Willis category for all the 2021 films he starred in, including American Siege, Cosmic Sin, Apex, Deadlock, Fortress, Midnight in the Switchgrass, Out of Death, and Survive the Game
An unnamed source told Page Six his declining cognitive ability had been an open secret in Hollywood as the actor repeatedly had trouble acting in his films.
On Wednesday his family wrote in a statement on social media: 'To Bruce’s amazing supporters, as a family we wanted to share that our beloved Bruce has been experiencing some health issues and has recently been diagnosed with aphasia, which is impacting his cognitive abilities.
'As a result of this and with much consideration Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him.'
The statement added: 'This is a really challenging time for our family and we are so appreciative of your continued love, compassion and support. We are moving through this as a strong family unit, and wanted to bring his fans in because we know how much he means to you, as you do to him.
'As Bruce always says, “Live it up” and together we plan to do just that,' the statement, which was signed by his wife, model Emma Heming Willis, his ex-wife Demi Moore and all of his children, concluded.
According to the National Aphasia Association, the condition is an impairment of language, affecting the production or comprehension of speech and the ability to read or write.
The association reports the condition is always due to injury to the brain, most commonly from a stroke, particularly in older individuals.
Head trauma and brain tumors from infections can also cause aphasia.
The only treatment is speech and language therapies, with involvement from family members - but even with that, the condition could worsen.
It is currently unclear what lead to Willis' diagnosis.
The announcement marks an end to Willis' decades-long career, during which he has earned a Golden Globe award and two Emmys.
Willis' acting career began with small just roles in television shows like Miami Vice and The Twilight Zone in the early 1980s, according to IMDB.
He started gaining attention thanks to his starring role opposite Cybill Shepherd in the ABC series Moonlighting, which ran from 1985 to 1989, but his breakout role was really as John McClane in the hit film Die Hard, which premiered in 1988 and led to six sequels.
Willis has been in more than 70 movies since he got his start in the 1970s. His instantly recognizable face helps sell low-budget films in international markets. In recent years, he's mostly worked with the production companies Emmett/Furla Oasis and 308 Entertainment, according to the LA Times.
Over the course of his four-decade career, Variety reported, his movies have grossed over $5billion worldwide.
Since their announcement, his family has posted sweet tributes to the acting icon.
In her post Thursday, Scout also added a second photo of Bruce posing shirtless with a goofy expression on his face.
He appeared to have the initials of his three daughters with ex-wife Demi Moore - Rumer, Scout and Tallulah - inscribed onto his chest beneath a heart symbol.
'It kept hitting me yesterday how much love, energy, and prayers were now being sent to my daddio and just humbling me in a way that’s brings tears as I write this.
Since the announcement, his family has been making tribute post on social media. In one photo, Willis appeared to have the initials of his three daughters inscribed onto his chest beneath a heart symbol
Scott Willis shared a sweet photo of her bonding with her father Bruce Willis following news of his aphasia diagnosis
Scout also shared this shot of her with her father and half-sister Evelyn
'I am so grateful for your love, I’m so grateful to hear about what my papa means to you. Thank you so much to everyone who reached out to me yesterday, i love and I appreciate you with all my heart, it’s gonna take me a whole to respond to your messages!
On Wednesday, Tallulah expressed her appreciation for all the love she and her family had been receiving following news of her father's condition.
'The exquisite outpouring of love that I am experiencing right now is just blowing me away,' she posted to her Instagram Stories. 'Thank you all for showing up with so much tenderness and stunning love for my daddio and my whole family.'
Meanwhile, the actor had been pictured more often with his family, with Moore, 59, wishing him a happy birthday in an Instagram post earlier this month, sharing a photo of the two of them standing in the kitchen and writing: 'Happy birthday Bruce! Thankful for our blended family.'
That same weekend, Emma posted a tribute to her husband of 13 years in honor of their anniversary, sharing a photo of them at their 2009 wedding.
'13 years ago, those wedding speeches really sent us over the edge,' she wrote.
Emma also posted her own birthday tribute to Bruce - a photo montage she created, writing: 'I don't just love him, I really, really like him.'
Willis shares three children - Rumer, 33, Scout, 30 and Tallulah, 28, with Moore, to whom he was married from 1987 to 2000. He also has two daughters, Mabel, 9, and Evelyn, 7, with his wife Emma, 43. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10674515/Razzie-Awards-rescind-Worst-Performance-Bruce-Willis-movie-learning-diagnosis.html | 2022-04-01T02:05:37Z |
Which Dior blushes are best?
Dior is best known for its beautiful designer clothing and accessories, but the brand also offers a full line of luxury beauty products and fragrances. Dior blushes are one of the brand’s standout products, adding the perfect amount of natural color to give you a healthy glow.
Dior blushes are available in both powder and cream formulas, so there’s an option no matter your skin type. Their high-quality ingredients offer vibrant color that can last all day. If you’re looking for a highly pigmented blush that’s available in a variety of flattering shades, Dior Rouge Blush is the bestselling option.
What to know before you buy a Dior blush
Formula
Dior blushes are available in two formulas: powder or cream.
Powder blushes are the most common option, so they’re the most widely used. They come in a compact and are applied with a brush. Powder formulas have a dry texture that has a lightweight look and feel on the skin. They can be fairly sheer, so they also look more natural on the skin, but you can build them up to get a more intense color if you prefer.
Powder blush works extremely well for oily skin because its dry texture helps absorb oil to reduce shine. It may not be the best option for dry or mature skin because it can settle in fine lines and cling to dry patches.
Cream blushes have a more emollient texture that glides easily over the skin. They contain moisturizing ingredients, making them ideal for dry or mature skin. Because of the hydrating formula, they have a dewy finish, so they can help your skin look fresh and youthful.
Cream blushes come in a small pot, container or compact and can be applied with your fingers, a brush or a sponge. However, they aren’t the best fit for oily skin because they can make you look shiny. A cream blush doesn’t last as long on the skin as a powder formula, either.
Finish
Dior blushes are available in three finish options: matte, satin and shimmer.
- Matte: Dior matte blushes don’t have any shine, shimmer or glitter, so they don’t reflect the light. They have a flat finish that works well for oily or combination skin because it won’t make your skin look greasy. Matte blushes tend to wear longer on the skin.
- Satin: Dior satin blushes have a slight sheen that’s flattering on most skin types. Their finish resembles real skin, so they can look very natural. They don’t contain any noticeable shimmer or glitter particles.
- Shimmer: Dior shimmer blushes contain mica shimmer particles that give them an obvious shine. They’re particularly flattering for dull skin since they help brighten up the complexion.
Shade range
Dior blushes come in a relatively natural shade range, so you can find options that suit most skin tones. You can choose from Dior blushes in pink, rose, peach, bronze, nude and berry shades that coordinate with some Dior lipstick shades to help you create a flattering monochromatic look.
What to look for in a quality Dior blush
Packaging
Most Dior blushes come in plastic compacts that are easy to toss in your bag and bring with you for touch-ups during the day.
Some compacts have a clear plastic lid that allows you to see the shade even when the lid is closed, which can be convenient if you’re searching through your makeup bag for a particular blush. However, other Dior blushes have a solid lid with a mirror on the inside that makes it easy to check your makeup during the day and freshen it up if necessary.
Wear time
Dior powder blushes wear longer on the skin than cream blushes, but all formulas last at least 6-8 hours. Some Dior powder blushes are formulated for even longer wear. They’re highly pigmented, so their color can remain on the skin for up to 12 hours without fading.
Brush
Some Dior blushes include a small brush to apply the color to your cheeks. While these mini brushes don’t work as well as full-size makeup brushes, they can come in very handy for touch-ups when you’re out and about.
How much you can expect to spend on a Dior blush
Dior blushes cost $39-$145. Most formulas range from $39-$50, but some larger palettes that contain multiple blush shades or blush, bronzer and/or highlighter shades cost $75-$145.
Dior blush FAQ
Are Dior blushes fragrance-free?
A. Most Dior blushes contain artificial fragrances to give the products a pleasant scent. However, because chemical fragrances can sometimes irritate the skin, these blushes may not be the best option for sensitive skin.
What’s the best way to apply Dior blush?
A. Dior powder and cream blushes are best applied with an angled blush brush. The shape fits the curve of your cheek to apply the blush smoothly and precisely. You can also use a makeup sponge or even clean fingers to blend a Dior cream blush over your skin.
What’s the best Dior blush to buy?

What you need to know: This highly pigmented blush delivers a bold flush of color that can last all day on the skin.
What you’ll love: The blushes are highly pigmented but buildable, so you can achieve a soft wash of color or an intense flush. The blush shades coordinate with Rouge Dior lipstick shades. They’re available in three finish options. The compacts include a mirror and a brush.

Where to buy: Sold by Sephora

In a move that will likely generate some interest in the Smith Mountain Lake area, Gov. Glenn Youngkin in Lynchburg signed into a law a bill that bans the popular “Carolina Squat” modification of vehicles on public highways in the state of Virginia.
Youngkin was at the Lynchburg Sheriff’s Office on Monday, March 21, when he signed the bill.
The “Carolina Squat” significantly elevates the front end of a vehicle while lowering the back end, and is most often seen on pickup trucks.
North Carolina banned the practice in 2021.
Bedford County Sheriff Mike Miller attended the signing ceremony.

By Andrew Dalton | Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Oscars producer Will Packer said Los Angeles police were ready to arrest Will Smith after Smith slapped Chris Rock on the Academy Awards stage.
“They were saying, you know, this is battery, was a word they used in that moment,” Packer said in a clip released by ABC News Thursday night of an interview he gave to “Good Morning America.” “They said we will go get him. We are prepared. We’re prepared to get him right now. You can press charges, we can arrest him. They were laying out the options.”
But Packer said Rock was “very dismissive” of the idea.
“He was like, ‘No, no, no, I’m fine,” Packer said. “And even to the point where I said, ‘Rock, let them finish.’ The LAPD officers finished laying out what his options were and they said, ‘Would you like us to take any action?’ And he said no.”
The LAPD said in a statement after Sunday night’s ceremony that they were aware of the incident, and that Rock had declined to file a police report. The department declined comment Thursday on Packer’s interview, a longer version of which will air on Friday morning.
The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences met Wednesday to initiate disciplinary proceedings against Smith for violations against the group’s standards of conduct. Smith could be suspended, expelled or otherwise sanctioned.
The academy said in a statement that “Mr. Smith’s actions at the 94th Oscars were a deeply shocking, traumatic event to witness in-person and on television.”
Without giving specifics, the academy said Smith was asked to leave the ceremony at the Dolby Theatre, but refused to do so.
Smith strode from his front row seat on to the stage and slapped Rock after a joke Rock made about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, when he was on stage to present the Oscar for best documentary.
On Monday, Smith issued an apology to Rock, the academy and to viewers, saying “I was out of line and I was wrong.”
The academy said Smith has the opportunity to defend himself in a written response before the board meets again on April 18.
Rock publicly addressed the incident for the first time, but only briefly, at the beginning of a standup show Wednesday night in Boston, where he was greeted by a thunderous standing ovation. He said “I’m still kind of processing what happened.” | https://www.dailybulletin.com/2022/03/31/oscars-police-offered-to-arrest-will-smith-over-attack/ | 2022-04-01T02:05:39Z |

On Monday, President Joe Biden unveiled his proposal for the next federal budget.
Though Congress has the final say in the annual budget, presidents create a proposal highlighting their fiscal priorities. Then, the president typically spends time advocating for their plan to the public, arguing for those priorities.
While promoting his latest proposal, Biden tweeted, “This year, my administration is on track to cut the deficit by more than $1.3 trillion… that would be the largest one-year reduction in the deficit in U.S. history.”
THE QUESTION
Would a $1.3 trillion reduction in the deficit be the largest single-year reduction ever?
THE SOURCES
THE ANSWER
Yes, if the deficit shrinks by $1.3 trillion this year, that will be the largest single-year reduction in history.
WHAT WE FOUND
Both the Federal Reserve and the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) track how much money the federal government takes in each year, and how much it spends. The Fed has records dating back to 1901, and the CBO dating to 1962.
If the government makes more than it spends, there’s a budget surplus. Since 1962, there have only been five years with a surplus, and none since 2001.
More commonly, the government spends more than it takes in. That’s a deficit, and it results in the U.S. borrowing money to make up the difference, which in turn adds to the federal debt.
According to the Fed and the CBO, the year in which the deficit shrank the most was 2013. In 2012, the budget was nearly $1.08 trillion in the hole, and in 2013, it was just under $679.8 billion. The deficit decreased by roughly $396.8 billion, more than in any other year in history.
If the deficit drops by $1.3 trillion in 2022 like Biden projected, it would indeed be the largest deficit reduction in American history, by a big margin.
The Fed and CBO track numbers on a fiscal-year basis, with the fiscal year ending on Sept. 30. So we won’t really know if Biden’s projections for 2022 are accurate until at least October.
But budget experts VERIFY spoke with agreed it’s likely the deficit reduction could wind up being more than a trillion dollars. However, they said that drop is mostly due to COVID-related spending programs expiring.
“It's not really due to any particularly aggressive policy action to, say, raise more revenue than we would have otherwise, or spend less. It's mostly just a factor of temporary things,” said Alex Muresianu, a federal policy analyst for the Tax Foundation.
“We had deficits that were over $3 trillion [in 2020], and one that was $2.8 trillion [in 2021]. That was as a result of a huge recession, and trillions of dollars that we were spending to fight COVID. So we will be dropping for sure. The deficit will be closer to a trillion dollars this year,” said Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a non-profit group. “But that doesn't come from policies to reduce the deficit.”

Quebec advocate for medically assisted death has died
Nicole Gladu, 77, died of natural causes, friend says
Nicole Gladu fought for years for the right to have a medically assisted death but, in the end, chose to let nature take its course, a close friend says.
Gladu, 77, died on Sunday after spending much of her life living with the effects of a childhood brush with polio.
"She was someone who deeply loved life," said friend Micheline Raymond. "She must have sensed the end was coming. It was as though she decided to savour every last minute of life, even though she wasn't well. She was suffering."
That Gladu lived as long as she did was considered somewhat of a medical miracle.
"I survived polio with half a functioning lung," Gladu said in a 2018 interview with Radio-Canada. "Doctors back then said I wasn't supposed to be still alive, medically speaking."
In 1992, she was diagnosed with post-polio syndrome. The gradual muscle loss made her reliant on a wheelchair.
But since her death was not considered "reasonably foreseeable," Gladu did not qualify for medical aid in dying.
She and another advocate, Jean Truchon, went to court to fight for the rights of people with degenerative diseases to have access to medically assisted death.
"Nicole was always someone who pushed hard, and despite all the energy it took, she fought to the end and won," said Micheline Raymond, a friend. | https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/nicole-gladu-death-1.6404666?cmp=rss | 2022-04-01T02:05:40Z |
Kentucky State Police Post 4 is conducting a death investigation related to a woman’s body being found outdoors off North Patterson Street in Clarkson on Monday.
At 11:30 a.m. Monday morning, Post 4 was called to respond to the incident.
According to KSP Post 4 Public Affairs Officer Scotty Sharp, Post 4’s preliminary investigation indicates that the individual, an elderly female, died either naturally or accidentally.
“It appears no foul play occurred,” he said, adding that law enforcement found no signs of blunt force trauma or anything else that would indicate foul play.
An autopsy was scheduled for Tuesday at the Kentucky Medical Examiner’s Office in Louisville. | https://www.messenger-inquirer.com/grayson_county/news/ksp-conducts-death-investigation-in-clarkson/article_e7952552-087d-5804-8574-177322ad382a.html | 2022-04-01T02:05:40Z |

With a new national champion less than a week away from being crowned, there will be no Big Ten team in the mix for a second consecutive year. For a conference that is often considered a basketball powerhouse, the B1G continues to struggle in March, having not boasted a national championship since Michigan State in 2000 (Maryland’s 2002 championship run was prior to them joining the Big Ten). This year the Purdue Boilermakers and Michigan Wolverines were the only conference teams to reach weekend two—here’s what went wrong for these programs in the end.
Michigan Wolverines
After upsetting 6-seed Colorado State and 3-seed Tennessee as a mere 11-seed, the Wolverines found themselves in the Sweet Sixteen. Unfortunately for them, Jay Wright and the Villanova Wildcats were too much to handle, resulting in a 63-55 loss that didn’t feel as close as the final score suggests.
It was quite the roller coaster of a season for the preseason AP Top 10 team, which suffered losses to Seton Hall, Minnesota and UCF before the end of 2021. After this, Juwan Howard infamously slapped Wisconsin’s Greg Gard like he was Chris Rock and was suspended for the final portion of the regular season because of it.
With an eventual pre-tournament record of 17-14, Michigan snuck into the Big Dance with an at-large bid that many thought was a bit generous. Still, despite finishing eighth in the conference, the Wolverines found themselves 80 minutes away from a trip to New Orleans after putting together three tremendous halves of basketball following their rough first half in round one against CSU.
Last Thursday in San Antonio, the very same city that Michigan lost to Villanova in in the National Championship Game in 2018, Michigan had a chance to avenge their heartbreaking defeat. Unfortunately, the Wolverines’ rough outside shooting and lack of offensive production outside of Hunter Dickinson and Eli Brooks resulted in a pretty ugly basketball game. Howard’s team left seven points at the free throw line, shooting only 50 percent from the charity stripe and a mere 34 percent from the field.
After the first media timeout Villanova began to take control, and its experienced unit played at its own pace, allowing them to maintain a steady lead until the final whistle.
With no Wolverine projected to be selected in the first round of the NBA draft, Michigan has a real chance to bring back the majority of their rotation. Although, Ann Arborites will have to wait and see whether Caleb Houstan, Moussa Diabaté and Hunter Dickinson decide to go pro or not, which will indicate a lot about Michigan’s ceiling in 2023.
Purdue Boilermakers
Although they were a buzzer-beater away from reaching it in 2019, Matt Painter has still yet to reach the Final Four through 17 seasons coaching at Purdue. This year as the tournament’s first weekend came to an end, it looked like it was the Boilermakers’ year. The first and second seed teams had both been eliminated in their region, and only 15-seed Saint Peter’s stood between them and the Elite Eight. Of course, it’s March, and the Peacocks not only covered the spread but defeated the Boilermakers 67-64.
The tallest true rotational player on Saint Peter’s is 6-foot-8, compared to the premiere forwards on Purdue in 7-foot-4 Zach Edey and 6-foot-10 Trevion Williams. In addition to this, the Boilermakers averaged nearly 80 points and had boasted the second best offense in the nation, according to KenPom. On the other hand, Saint Peter’s averaged under 67 points per game in the MAAC. Oh, and Purdue has Jaden Ivey, a projected top-5 pick and the top guard prospect in the country. Somehow though, Saint Peter’s was able to beat this star studded team while shooting only 38.9% from the field.
How could Purdue lose this game? Well, unlike most upsets where the lower-seeded team seems to not miss and the favorite can’t seem to hit the shots they’ve hit all year, the Peacocks simply outplayed and out-coached the Boilermakers.
Purdue jumped out to an early five-point lead and held a lead for the majority of the game, but Saint Peter’s plethora of defensive schemes never allowed Purdue to get comfortable offensively. The Peacocks forced 15 Purdue turnovers and did not ever let Ivey ever get going while Edey was out-rebounded by 6-foot-2 backup guard Doug Edert. With nothing to lose, the Peacocks outscored Purdue 15-8 in the final 4:02 to send the Boilermakers home.
Seniors Sasha Stefanovic and Trevion Williams led the way for Purdue, scoring a combined 27 points and 12 rebounds. Unfortunately for Boilermaker fans, they along with starting point guard Eric Hunter Jr. and more than likely Jaden Ivey will be gone next season, and thus Purdue may be in line for a down year. The two-year era of the Williams, Ivey and Edey big three is over, and a the team’s Final Four window is closed with only two tournament wins to show for its efforts.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) — The Alabama Senate has approved a raise and new salary schedule for teachers, as part of the education budget, and supporters say the moves will help state schools retain quality, experienced teachers.
Alabama Sen. Arthur Orr, R-Decatur led the effort, which now needs to be reconciled with the House education budget.
“I’m a firm believer in you get what you pay for,” Orr told News 19 Thursday. We’ve got a teacher shortage in Alabama and if we don’t adequately compensate classroom educators, we’ll never be able to attract and retain well-qualified teachers.”
The 4% pay raise for teachers and support personnel was called for by Gov. Kay Ivey and legislators are poised to make that happen.
Another major change is set for the state’s salary matrix for teachers. The measure creates annual 1 percent raises for teachers starting in year nine of their careers. The current system calls for raises every three years. The new approach not only increases the pace of raises but creates a new higher floor for teacher salaries. The measure also ends the current salary cap which has been set at 27 years. Currently, teachers after year 27 don’t get a raise unless there’s a special provision. The measure is expected to generate raises for teachers between 4 and 15 percent — the larger numbers are for more experienced teachers under the new salary matrix. The pay change begins Oct. 1.
The expected pay increase comes after a tremendously stressful past two years for teachers, said Beverly Sims, the Alabama Education Association’s District 3 director, which includes Madison County and Madison City schools.
“I think this will be a great reward for them,” Sims said Thursday. “Although I will tell you, that not one of them, did anything above and beyond because they expected extra money, they did it because they love their students and they love public education.
Read the entire proposed bill here:
“The salary matrix corrections I think is really the biggest thing this year. We’re extremely excited that everybody across the board gets 4 percent, and I know everybody always wants to talk about teachers, but that 4 percent also includes our support personnel, and if anybody deserves more money, this year, it’s our support personnel.” | https://whnt.com/news/alabama-news/alabama-teachers-expected-to-get-significant-raises-in-new-education-budget/ | 2022-04-01T02:05:41Z |

'That's like saying black people like chicken': Whoopi Goldberg claims that calling out Hollywood for being full of out-of-touch elites is akin to racism as she defends A-lister who clapped Will Smith
- Whoopi Goldberg lashed out against fellow The View co-host Tara Setmayer who said 'Hollywood elites are a bunch of hypocrites' on Thursday
- Setmayer was criticizing the audience at the Oscars who gave Will Smith a standing ovation just moments after he slapped Chris Rock in the face
- Setmayer pointed out that it was wrong of the celebrities to tout the importance of morality while at the same time celebrating Smith after he just assaulted Rock
- Goldberg took issue with this and said generalizations against actors was the same as racist generalizations about black people
- She went on to say that there is no such thing as 'Hollywood elites' because they are the same as everyone else in America
Whoopi Goldberg went off on one of her fellow co-hosts on The View who called Hollywood elites out-of-touch hypocrites, claiming the statement was akin to racism.
As hosts on Thursday discussed the infamous slapping incident between Will Smith and Chris Rock at the Oscars, Tara Setmayer criticized the audience at the event for clapping for Smith's Best Actor win following the assault.
'They gave him a standing ovation,' Setmayer said. 'Which I think, again, goes back to why some people feel like Hollywood elites are a bunch of hypocrites.'
'They go out there and they give these statements of moral superiority about things, and political statements, and then they're standing there giving a standing ovation after [Smith] just assaulted Chris Rock.'
Goldberg, a Hollywood elite herself who serves as Academy Governor, appeared angered by the statement and interrupted Setmayer to tell her not to make generalizations.
'It really pisses me off when people start to talk about people who work in Hollywood, not just actors, but all the other folks,' Goldberg said.
'So, please, when you're talking about actors, be specific. If you're pissed off about somebody or how they act, don't put it on all of us because that's like saying all black people like chicken,' she added.
The back-and-forth- takes place more than a month after Whoopi returned to the show following an eight-episode ban after she claimed the 'Holocaust wasn't racist.'
Whoopi Goldberg, co-host of The View and Academy Governor, lashed out against fellow co-host Tara Setmayer who said 'Hollywood elites are a bunch of hypocrites.' Goldberg, a Hollywood elite herself, said the statement was akin to racism
The women of The View were discussing the infamous slapping incident between Will Smith (left) and Christ Rock at the Oscars on Sunday
Setmayer criticized those at the event for giving Smith a standing ovation for his Best Actor win following the slap that left them stunned just moments ago. Benedict Cumberbatch, a fellow Best Actor nominee, as well as Best Director nominee Paul Thomas Anderson and actress Maya Rudolph, were some of the stars who stood for Smith
Benedict Cumberbatch, a fellow Best Actor nominee, as well as Best Director nominee Paul Thomas Anderson and actress Maya Rudolph were some of the stars who stood for Smith's win for best actor following the incident.
Venus and Serena Williams, whose father was portrayed by Smith in King Richard, also stood.
Goldberg suggested that there was no such thing as a 'Hollywood elite,' and that actors were just like everyone else.
'I just want to stop with this 'elite' stuff because, you know, a lot of us work for a living,' she said. We work. We collect a check. We got families.
'We try to do the same thing, the good stuff that everybody else tries to do.'
It's the latest snap from Goldberg who was previously placed on a two-week, unpaid suspension after the infamous January 31 episode by ABC boss Kim Godwin for statements she made about the Holocaust
Goldberg had faced a revolt from staffers who felt she had crossed the line with her tone-deaf apology over her Holocaust comments.
When it came to the Thursday's argument, fellow co-host Joy Behar backed Goldberg, telling Setmayer, 'You know what, Tara? You can't paint all Hollywood people with one brush.'
Setmayer stuck by her statement and said the whole Oscar incident was very telling about Hollywood to the average person.
'I think there's an argument to be made about the industry,' she said.
Goldberg (left) said there was no such thing as a 'Hollywood elite.' Although she condemned Smith's actions, she has been the softest on the actor among her fellow cohosts
Smith (pictured) celebrated his victory with cheers following his assault on Rock. Goldberg has said he would face consequences from the Academy and suggested he was not escorted out following the incident because officials feared he might make a bigger scene
Setmayer is not the only one to call out the high profile celebrities at the Oscars, with actor and comedian Jim Carrey also slamming the members of the Academy for clapping after he slapped Rock.
'I was sickened by the standing ovation,' he said, referring to when Smith took home the Best Actor award not long after the slap incident.
'I felt like Hollywood is just spineless en masse. It really felt like this is a clear indication that we're not the cool club anymore
'You do not have the right to walk up on stage and smack somebody on the face because they said words,' Carrey said.
The View hosts have repeatedly criticized Will Smith's stunt at the Oscars with co-hosts Sunny Hostin and Ana Navarro calling his shocking outburst 'immature and childish.' But co-host Whoopi Goldberg has remained the outlier with a different take.
'I think he overreacted…I think he had one of those moments where it was like G.D. it, just stop,' Goldberg said following the incident. 'I get it, not everybody acts the way we would like them to act under pressure. And he snapped.'
Goldberg said she believes Smith will be able to keep his Oscar but will face 'big consequences because nobody is OK with what happened.'
Goldberg was not present at the Oscars and has stressed that she was not speaking on behalf of the Academy's board of directors.
She added on Thursday that Smith was asked to leave the Oscars following the slap, but that the Academy may have not acted out of fear that Smith would make a bigger scene at the event.
'I think that he was asked to leave,' said Goldberg. 'Picture - they come back from back from break, now if [Smith] is in some sort of state and he's struggling and you're trying to get him out the door and it's still on camera.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10674517/Whoopi-Goldberg-claims-saying-Hollywood-touch-elites-akin-racism.html | 2022-04-01T02:05:44Z |
At one point late Wednesday morning, nearly 30 customers are at Slow Bloom Coffee, lining up to order, awaiting their drink or sitting inside or on the patio. Five crew members pitch in to handle the surge until, like a cresting wave, it gently subsides.
It looks like a triumph, one nearly two years in the making.
Slow Bloom arose from the ashes — or is that coffee grounds? — of Augie’s Coffee, the Redlands-based chain that fired its entire staff as they sought to unionize, and later closed for good after the National Labor Relations Board sided with the workers.
Fifteen baristas formed Slow Bloom, a worker-owned cooperative. Now they have their own shop, at 420 W. Colton Ave. in Redlands.
Its grand opening is Saturday, with food vendors and a vintage clothes retailer in the parking lot, a latte art competition among local baristas and a disc jockey.
As employee Jina Edwards fills me in at a table in the bustling shop, I ask her, a la Bob Dylan: How does it feel?
“It feels surreal and epic and gigantically amazing!” Edwards exclaims, throwing her hands in the air.
I can believe it.
I’d been following the Augie’s/Slow Bloom saga vicariously since news of the mass layoff broke in July 2020, a few weeks into the pandemic. It was a story I wanted to tell at whatever point it made sense to do so. And this is it.
First calling themselves Augie’s Union, employees roasted coffee at a like-minded shop in Burbank, Reverse Orangutan, and sold bags of beans at events by The Artlands, a Redlands art hub on whose board Edwards sits.
Those sales raised cash for former Augie’s staffers who weren’t yet getting unemployment and provided seed money for the future shop. A Kickstarter campaign raised $36,000. That and a loan allowed them to lease a building — a former glass shop with a Midcentury Modern look — and buy equipment.
The workers hired a contractor but did some of the labor themselves to cut costs, including demolishing the interior and putting up drywall after watching YouTube tutorials.
In a coffee-deprived neighborhood on Redlands’ sleepy north side, the shop opened late last year for weekend pop-ups but formally opened March 7 with regular hours: 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week.
Things have gone great — mostly. Before the first week was out, someone heaved a rock through the front window and stole the cash register.
“We just opened and already had a break-in,” Edwards laments. Customers, chagrined, gave the staff lemons and oranges as moral support. The boarded-up window was replaced four days later and everything continued as before.
“We have the rock. We saved it,” Edwards says, smiling. “We named it Dwayne. Like Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.”
How does Slow Bloom operate as a collective? The 15 workers who stuck with it are automatically members; any expansion of the staff will require a buy-in. The 15 hold regular meetings and make decisions as a group. If push comes to shove, a three-member board — Kelley Bader, Evan Costello and Edwards — will have final say.
Everyone makes $15 an hour and all tips are pooled and shared. That eliminates the competition for busier shifts.
“We want everything to feel even,” Edwards explains. At last, the workers’ paradise is here, and it’s in Redlands.
Slow Bloom has been an inspiration to baristas and food service staffs across the country. The New York Times featured them, and the staff has done podcast interviews, spoken at union conferences and fielded questions on Instagram.
Will this work permanently? Food service is known for high turnover. United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers Local 1011 helped the staff unionize and provided crucial support in creating a model for a co-op indie coffeehouse, but it’s unproven territory.
Regardless, few things are permanent in life. Case in point: Augie’s, which seemed solid with six locations by its 2019 10th anniversary, and then collapsed. C’est le bean.
Edwards, at 42 the oldest crew member, is thrilled to be serving customers again and having a say.
“Just walking into a space knowing that you’re valued,” Edwards says. “You can talk about what’s going on and know you’re being heard rather than thinking someone’s waiting for you to make a wrong move.”
The collective wants the shop to feel welcoming. Vegetarian and vegan items are served. There’s no surcharge for alternative milks that at many shops are $1 extra. A regular drip coffee is $2, priced for the working-class neighborhood.
Customer Karem Pedersen was an Augie’s regular and is now a Slow Bloom regular too, sensing a continuity because of all the familiar faces.
“They’re working hard,” the 43-year-old graphic designer says while sipping a green tea. “This was not handed to them.”
Costello, a board member who is behind the coffee bar Wednesday, doubles as Slow Bloom’s accountant.
“I had a degree in mathematics from Cal State San Bernardino,” Costello, 26, tells me. He’s quick to say that a CPA is doing their taxes, but he’s learning about procurement and the price of goods and making sure there’s a profit — and there is.
“We all have our special talents to contribute. We’re the hands and feet of this place,” Costello says. “To be able to create a business with people I care about, that was what I wanted to do.”
I sit out on the side patio with an iced latte and read my newspaper in the sun’s warmth. With residences backing up to the shop, it’s quiet here. Peaceful. From a nearby yard, a rooster crows.
Good morning from Slow Bloom.

Acquanetta Warren, reality TV star? The mayor of Fontana will be featured on the 9 p.m. Friday episode of “Undercover Boss” on CBS as she pitches in to maintain the city’s sewers and pick up trash in a park. The series purports to follow executives as they slip anonymously into the rank-and-file of their own organizations. I’m skeptical that Warren could blend into the background anywhere, but I’m ready to tune in to see.

Which action camera body mounts are best?
Action cameras are great devices for capturing exhilarating activities or making the perfect holiday video, but when there’s so much to look at or do, you don’t always want to have one hand occupied holding the camera.
This is where an action camera body mount comes in handy, as it secures the device in place while recording, leaving you free to have fun. If you’re after a Hollywood style of filming, the Stuntman 360 Shoulder Mount is the best choice for you.
What to know before you buy an action camera body mount
Compatibility with your action camera
There are several types of action camera mounts you can use, but the most important factor is compatibility. The protective cases of action cameras are different in size and shape, so it’s important to check if they can be affixed to the mount. Most cameras use the GoPro system of slots and bolts, so it might not be too much of a hassle. Also consider if you want to film using your mobile phone, as there are specific body mounts for that.
Activities you’ll be filming
Action cameras are used to film all sorts of activities, but if you don’t have the correct body mount, you might end up not capturing any footage at all. For example, if you plan on filming underwater, make sure the body mount is in a position to film straight ahead or the seafloor; a wrist mount while swimming is not a good choice.
Action camera kit vs. body mount
Unless it’s a specialized body mount, you might want to consider getting a complete action camera kit instead. Usually, there isn’t much price difference between a body mount and a full kit, making it more value for money. Kits typically include a body, head and wrist mount, attachment accessories and vehicle suction cup.
What to look for in a quality action camera body mount
Strong buckles, clips and straps
The camera is usually secured to the mounting system with nuts and bolts, but the entire mechanism must be securely fastened around your body. Most mounts use buckles and clips, making them perfect for filming action-packed activities like horse riding or motorcycles. Others might use a series of Velcro straps that are easily adjusted but less robust than clips.
Versatility for more positions
A body mount is great for recording what’s going on around you, but sometimes you want to change the camera angle. A basic body mount might not allow you to do that, but a good-quality mount will. By adjusting the strap length, you can change where the mount fits around your body, giving you a different filming perspective.
Durable construction materials
The last thing you want while ripping down the slopes is for your body mount to malfunction due to inferior materials. While strong buckles, clips and straps are important for keeping the mount on your body, the camera needs to stay put as well. A good-quality body mount should have robust and durable materials where the camera is mounted. This is typically made from hard plastic, while others may incorporate metal pieces.
How much you can expect to spend on an action camera body mount
Action camera body mounts are relatively affordable, with chest harnesses retailing for under $10. Body mounts that place the camera at an unconventional location generally cost more, retailing for $20-$50.
Action camera body mount FAQ
Can you put a body mount on an animal?
A. There are some options, yes, but they’re generally for dogs only. Some manufacturers have canine-specific harnesses, which is great if you want to see where your dog goes or their perspective. It isn’t recommended to put a harness on a cat.
Can you charge an action camera while it’s in the mount?
A. In most cases, this won’t be possible. Through the design of the action camera’s external case and the mount, there won’t be an opening to expose the charging port.

How many employees have wished for a shorter work week, especially when it’s only Tuesday and Friday is nowhere in sight? Though many professionals wish they worked fewer days each week, those same individuals likely aren’t taking advantage of their hard-earned vacation time.
According to the “2018 State of the American Vacation” report from the U.S. Travel Association, more than half of all working Americans have unused paid vacation days. According to the USTA’s Project Time Off, Americans are taking roughly one less week of vacation per year than they did in the mid-1970s, and the trend continues to decline. It’s not much different in Canada. A 2020 ADP survey found that 49 percent of working Canadians were taking less or no vacation time during the holiday season. Fifty percent of women and 37 percent of men reported that they took less than half of their alloted time off that year.
Workers cite several reasons for skipping vacations, including feeling an obligation to employers or worrying that taking time off may make them stack up poorly against coworkers when being reviewed for promotions or raises. However, failing to take vacation has notable consequences that should not be ignored. Here’s why individuals should make vacations priorities.
Avoid health consequencesA study published by the National Center of Biotechnology Information found that men who were at risk for heart disease and skipped vacation were 30 percent more likely to have heart attacks than those who took extended time off during the year. Similar effects occur in women. Taking little or no time off also could put individuals at increased risk for anxiety, depression, obesity, insomnia, and other stress-related illnesses, particularly among females. Simply taking a vacation or two per year can help tame stress and improve individuals’ long-term health outlook.
Get a brain breakFocusing attention on new scenery and activities for a week or more can improve performance upon returning to work. The USTA also indicates having a vacation to look forward to can motivate individuals to finish a project or report in a timely manner.
Enjoy higher job satisfactionThe Society for Human Resource Management said that 78 percent of human resources directors found that employees who took more vacation days reported higher job satisfaction. That could be because vacations help people feel less stressed and generally happier, which can extend to the workplace.
Develop strong bonds with familyHaving fun with the family away from the distractions of daily life is a major advantage of vacationing. Few families have consistent time to spend together, but vacations enable everyone to take a break from the routine frenzy and focus on one another.
It’s tempting to skip vacations to be more productive, but workers actually may be doing their productivity a disservice by failing to rest and recharge. | https://www.eastcentraliowanews.com/mvlsun/the-importance-of-using-vacation-time/article_8ec16440-ace6-52eb-a631-285694cbaf95.html | 2022-04-01T02:05:46Z |

ALABAMA (WHNT) – Governor Kay Ivey has signed into law the nation’s first elder abuse registry. The law will require nursing homes and elder care vendors to provide information on people who have been convicted of abusing elders.
Jo Holcombe said that her nightmare became a reality when she found out that the person assigned to be her mother’s caretaker started stealing her money and other valuable things. When her mom passed away in 2018, Holcombe took action.
Alabama State representative Victor Gaston said that Holcombe told him that she wanted to do everything that she could to make sure that no one had to go through what she went through. She made it her mission to create an elderly abuse registry.
Gaston said he immediately set the idea into motion.
“She brought me the idea and I worked with DHR and those who draft legislation in the state house and the result is we have the law,” Gaston tells News 19.
The law has been entitled Shirley’s Law. It’s named after Jo Holcombe’s mother Shirley Smith. Gaston sponsored the bill and it passed during the current legislative session. The law centers on the background checks of those who apply for a job in elderly care.
“Certain service providers can query the Alabama protective abuse registry with regard to an employer and prospective employee to confirm if the individual has been convicted of a crime against an elderly or vulnerable adult. If an elder abuse protection order has been issued, the Department of Human Resources will find that the individual who has committed an act of abuse against an elder or vulnerable person,” said Sam Smith, direct of Adult Protective Services for DHR.
Gaston says it was a two-year personal mission for Holcombe, who only thought about how others felt about how their elderly loved ones should be treated.
“It’s one thing to pass a law and another thing to make it so that it can be enforced and simple enough so that it’s not too complex and the bill does respond to a need and passing it was a no-brainer and everybody supported it in the house and the senate,” Gaston said.
According to DHR there were over 11,000 reports of elder abuse in 2021. Jo Holcombe says that she plans to take Shirley’s Law to Washington D.C. with hopes that more states will get onboard. | https://whnt.com/news/alabama-news/database-created-to-document-elder-abuse-crimes/ | 2022-04-01T02:05:47Z |

By RONALD BLUM AP Sports Writer
SAN JOSE, Costa Rica — Christian Pulisic and Tyler Adams had relief on their faces as they headed straight from the stadium for a charter jet to Europe and weekend club games.
“This is whatever I’ve always wanted to be, and right now emotions are a bit crazy,” Pulisic said, his voice quavering.
Coach Gregg Berhalter had rushed out for a red-eye to New York and a 12½-hour connecting flight to Friday’s World Cup draw (9 a.m. PT, FS1) in Doha, Qatar.
Recovering from the past and preparing for the future intertwined as the United States clinched a return to the World Cup.
For Pulisic, DeAndre Yedlin, Kellyn Acosta and Paul Arriola, all on that doomed American team at Trinidad 4½ years earlier, the pain had not gone away until now. The 2-0 loss to Costa Rica on Wednesday night was deflating, but by the time players entered the locker room of Estadio Nacional, focus turned to the accomplishment of clinching a return to soccer’s showcase for the first time since 2014.
Erik Palmer-Brown started popping open the Duet Mousseux Brut even as Berhalter was giving his speech. Then the new JBL Boombox 2 got to blare.
“We’re the youngest team to ever qualify for the World Cup, youngest U.S. team, and we’ll be the youngest team at the World Cup,” Berhalter said. ”That’s an accomplishment for these guys. It really is.”
They had traveled 25,042 miles on charters – circling the globe adds up to only 24,901 – making four trips to Central America, plus one each to Mexico, Canada and Jamaica, plus up to five trans-Atlantic round trips. Forty-four players were called in, of which 38 took the field. In all, 114 players have been used since Trinidad, 88 since Berhalter was hired in December 2018.
Pulisic had buried his face in his hands at Couva, wiping away tears.
“That was one of the toughest days of my life. I’ll never forget it,” he recalled. “Now to be in this position – qualified for a World Cup, we’re all extremely proud.”
Berhalter admitted the pressure was omnipresent.
“The public was on edge. They desperately wanted us to make it,” he said.
All of 23, Pulisic, Adams and Weston McKennie are the team leaders. Right back Sergiño Dest and left back Antonee Robinson became offensive threats. Gio Reyna, at 19, emerged as a budding star, just like his dad three decades earlier.
“Now we have to test ourselves against the best players in the world, the best teams in the world,” Adams said. “This was only the first stage in our development.”
Berhalter is among a 12-person U.S. Soccer Federation attending the draw, mapping out Qatar plans for a tournament that opens Nov. 21, in the middle of European club seasons.
Four games are likely in June, two in the CONCACAF Nations League and two exhibitions, followed by a pair of friendlies in September, possibly in Europe. Major League Soccer players may have a domestic training camp before the tournament.
And if the U.S. winds up in Groups E through G, which don’t start play until Nov. 24-25, the Americans might train in Europe for several days and have one more exhibition before heading to the Middle East.
“The starting point is getting out of the group,” Berhalter said.
USSF staff locked down hotel and training arrangements on Oct. 1, 2019, the day the portal opened, putting the team in an optimum logistical situation.
Berhalter presumes form will change between now and November, causing roster churn. He was impressed with the growth over 14 qualifiers in temperatures that ranged from minus-3 degrees in St. Paul, Minnesota, and 85 degrees in Austin, Texas.
“I think we improved our pressing,” he said. “But we’re going to continue to evolve and to continue to improve. The 4-3-3 system, as it’s been good for us, we might work with some other systems just to have some flexibility in the World Cup. I think it’s important to see who we are playing and start planning out how we can be successful there.”
For all the positive feelings, the U.S. dropped to third among eight nations in CONCACAF, behind Canada and Mexico. If not for last week’s 0-0 draw at Mexico, the Americans would have finished fourth and wound up in a June playoff against New Zealand.
“The easy part is over, and now we focus on this draw,” said defender Walker Zimmerman, who rose like a rocket from initially off the roster in October to starting nine of the past 11 games. “Ultimately just focus on staying fit, staying healthy, performing for our clubs.”
Forward remains a concern. After scoring three goals over two games last fall, Ricardo Pepi has gone scoreless in 19 games for club and country. Strikers produced just four of the Americans’ 21 goals, with Jesús Ferreira getting the other.
“We’re hoping that one of our 9s gets into a good form by the time the World Cup comes around,” Berhalter said Thursday during a layover at JFK International Airport.
Midfielders and wingers have been the engine, with Pulisic scoring five of the team’s 21 goals, and McKennie, Brenden Aaronson and Robinson two each.
“We can do a lot of damage, man,” Pulisic said. “We’re a confident bunch of guys and I think that country will get behind us and we’re going to give everything we got.”
“I just like the fight of his team and I think we have a lot of quality, as well,” he added. “I think we can be a force going into the World Cup.”
FIFA SETS DRAW SEEDINGS
The U.S. team received a boost for the World Cup draw and Canada took a hit in Thursday’s updated FIFA rankings.
The Americans, who failed to qualify for the last World Cup, will be in Pot 2 after being ranked 15th in the world.
Canada, which won the CONCACAF group and will play at the tournament for the first time in 36 years, missed a chance for a rankings boost by losing at Panama, 1-0, in its final qualifier.
Instead, Canada will be among the lowest-seeded teams in Pot 4.
The eight groups for the tournament in Qatar will be drawn Friday from four pots.
Qatar gets the top-seeded slot given to the World Cup host nation despite being ranked No. 51.
The other top-seeded teams are Brazil, Belgium, defending champion France, Argentina, England, Spain and Portugal.
Brazil took over as the No. 1 team from Belgium, the first change at the top in three years. Sixth-ranked Italy is the only team from the top 10 that failed to qualify.
Besides the United States, Pot 2 includes Mexico, Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Uruguay, Switzerland and Croatia, while in Pot 3 it’s Senegal, Iran, Japan, Morocco, Serbia, Poland, South Korea and Tunisia.
Three of the 32 entries are still unknown because qualifying hasn’t been completed. Those three entries have all been placed in Pot 4 regardless of the rankings of the teams involved. No. 18 Wales is the highest-ranked of the eight teams left in the playoffs.
The rest of Pot 4 includes Cameroon Ecuador, Saudi Arabia and Ghana along with Canada.
Teams from the same continent will be placed in different groups, except for some Europeans.
Europe has 13 teams in the tournament and five of the eight groups will each get two teams from the continent. The other three groups each get one European team.
Qatar will kick off its home World Cup in the opening game of Group A on Nov. 21. The final is scheduled for Dec. 18 – the host’s National Day. | https://www.dailybulletin.com/2022/03/31/relieved-more-than-joyful-usmnt-turns-attention-to-world-cup-draw-preparation/ | 2022-04-01T02:05:51Z |
Former East Lansing star Aaliyah Nye departs Illinois to continue basketball career in SEC
Former East Lansing basketball star Aaliyah Nye has found a new college home.
Nye announced on her Twitter account Thursday that she will continue her career at Alabama. Nye joins the Crimson Tide after spending two seasons at Illinois.
"I would like to thank Illinois for the many opportunities and support throughout my two years here," Nye wrote. "I will miss teammates and friends that I was so grateful to meet along the way. Now it's time to take the next step in a chapter of my life."
Nye will join her twin sister Aashawnti as a student at Alabama. Her older sister, Aazh, will graduate from Alabama in May.
The departure from Illinois for Nye, who was the 2020 Miss Basketball runner-up, comes a few weeks after Illini coach Nancy Fahey retired. Nye entered the transfer portal following Fahey's departure.
Nye was an honorable mention all-Big Ten selection and started 25 of 27 games for the Illini this season. She averaged a team-high 12.4 points and made 69 3-pointers while shooting 36.9% from behind the arc.
The 5-foot-11 Nye also averaged 3.0 rebounds for Illinois, which went 7-20 and 1-13 in the Big Ten.
Nye joins an Alabama squad that went 20-14 this season. The Crimson Tide had their season end with a loss to South Dakota State in the quarterfinals of the WNIT on Sunday.
From December:Aaliyah Nye using what she learned at East Lansing to make a mark for Illinois women's hoops

EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) — U.S. Border Patrol agents rescued 18 migrants crammed inside a U-Haul trailer with little ventilation early Tuesday morning.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection said a U-Haul pickup pulling the trailer stopped at the Border Patrol checkpoint on NM Highway 185, which runs parallel to Interstate 25. Agents found 17 migrant adults and one unaccompanied child inside the trailer.
Agents linked the smuggling scheme to a driver who had crossed the checkpoint minutes before the U-Haul and was found to have a 9 mm handgun, an AK-47 rifle, a 12-gauge shotgun, ammunition, and a flare gun.
Agents arrested both drivers on suspicion of conspiracy to transport migrants.
On Sunday, a resident alerted border agents to a possible human smuggling scheme after spotting a tractor-trailer parked along Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard near the Texas-New Mexico state line in Northeast El Paso.
Agents responded and freed 15 adult migrants and one unaccompanied child inside a poorly ventilated cargo container.
The rescued migrants, agents said, were from Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua. Some of them ended up at the Central Processing Center, and agents expelled the others to Mexico under Title 42.
According to a news release, agents referred the driver to the El Paso Sector Integrated Targeting Team and the Texas Department of Public Safety as part of an ongoing interagency investigation.
CBP said that since Fiscal Year 2022 began in October, Border Patrol agents from the El Paso Sector have disrupted approximately 525 smuggling schemes.
“Ruthless human smugglers continuously endanger human lives as one of their tactics is to smuggle migrants in confined spaces with restricted oxygen,” El Paso Sector Chief Patrol Agent Gloria I. Chavez said in a statement. “I am extremely proud of the actions of our El Paso Sector Border Patrol Agents as they often encounter situations, where if not for their involvement, events as these would turn into tragedies. Our Border Patrol Agents are true heroes as they display compassion and professionalism (every day) in our very complex mission of border security.” | https://www.counton2.com/border-report-tour/34-migrants-rescued-from-cargo-trailers-in-separate-smuggling-attempts/ | 2022-04-01T02:05:52Z |

GREENWICH — Litigation over the sale of the former Carmel Academy site on Lake Avenue is mounting.
Chabad Lubavitch of Greenwich last week filed a lawsuit to compel the sale of the property from Carmel Academy to Chabad, which has yet to proceed. Chabad has been planning to create a lower and middle school on the property at 270 Lake Ave.
Carmel had run a school there since 2006, but closed its doors in spring 2020, while still existing as a nonprofit organization and legal entity. Chabad has been operating at the site on a rental basis and offering programming for younger children.
Chabad had previously entered into a sales agreement to purchase the former Carmel Academy site. The sale has been disrupted by a legal issue — a claim from the Rock Ridge Association that the sale should not go through. The neighborhood association, which was formed over a century ago, alleged that it is the beneficiary of a legal covenant that allows another property owner in the association the right to acquire any property first, ahead of any other buyers. The school site lies within the boundaries of the Rock Ridge Association.
In April 2021, Alan Breed, a member of the Rock Ridge Association, claimed he was exercising his right of first refusal and has sought to purchase the property. A lawsuit was filed by the association in July 2021 spelling out the case that the sale to Chabad should not go through due to the covenant and the “right of first refusal.”
However, the legal team for Carmel Academy said the right of first refusal applied only to the original owner of the land, Nathaniel Witherell, and said it expired when he died in 1906. The legal issue of the “right of first refusal” is in dispute.
That case is pending before Judge Kenneth Povodator and is in the discovery phase, with various records being reviewed. A status conference is set for early May, according to the judicial website.
Filed late last week in Superior Court in Stamford, the new lawsuit from Chabad seeks a court order compelling Carmel to sell the land to Chabad. That legal complaint states that the right of first refusal is “non-existent.” The lawsuit, filed against Carmel Academy, Breed and the Rock Ridge Association, said the litigation filed by the Rock Ridge Association had caused the New York attorney general to withhold approval of the transaction, pending the court’s ruling. The New York attorney general has to sign off on land deals involving educational nonprofit organizations, and Carmel is based in New York state.
“Chabad should have the right to close the transaction with Carmel and take ownership of the property, not only as a matter of right — it was agreed to and Chabad has relied on it — but as a matter of fundamental fairness,” the new lawsuit maintains. Chabad’s lawyers note that the ongoing educational programs are in jeopardy due to the legal conflicts over the land sale. The suit says Breed and neighborhood association set out “to derail the transaction” and “frustrated” efforts to secure financing to close the deal. The suit alleges a “breach of contract.”
Messages left with Lawrence Grossman, an attorney for Carmel Academy, were not returned. The Chabad administration declined comment, saying the lawsuit spoke for itself.
A lawyer representing Breed, Richard Colbert, says his client was legally entitled to buy the site. Colbert said a key piece of the financing for the Chabad purchase was not completed, invalidating the purchase agreement before it reached the final stages of the deal.
“The contract Chabad had to purchase was terminated by Carmel because Chabad failed to fulfill the terms of the agreement. Specifically, they were required to provide proof of financing without contingency. When they failed to do that, Carmel terminated that agreement,” Colbert said.
That termination led to Breed being approached to buy the land, his lawyer said.
“We were assured by Carmel that the contract had not been fulfilled, that it has been properly terminated. With those representations, Mr. Breed agreed to enter into an agreement to purchase the property. We maintain he has a valid agreement,” Colbert said. “He does not wish Chabad any ill will. He believes the contract was not fulfilled on their part, for whatever reason, and he wanted to purchase the property and is now proceeding to purchase the property.”
Breed’s lawyer also insisted that the so-called “right of repurchase that appears in the historical land records,” as he termed it, is indeed valid.
The sale has not yet been finalized.
The plans to add grades at the Lake Avenue site and expand the educational operation there has been withdrawn from consideration by the Planning & Zoning Commission. Chabad was looking to create a lower and middle school at the site, while neighbors were complaining about noise and greater activity associated with the operation.
Chabad has put the expansion plans on hold for now, but the school’s leadership said the expansion plan was still a goal it would pursue in the future.

Mariupol awaits first aid mission as convoy of coaches heads for besieged Ukrainian city to save 170,000 stranded civilians
- Officials hope Mariupol ceasefire will last for planned civilian evacuation today
- They were due to deliver essential supplies last night to families hiding for weeks
- There was relentless bombing with no running water access, power or fresh food
A convoy of 45 buses was making its way to Mariupol last night as part of the biggest relief effort yet to try to save 170,000 civilians still trapped in the besieged city.
Russia agreed a ceasefire from 10am local time yesterday and officials are holding their breath that it will last for the planned evacuation today.
Some 17 coaches were en route along an agreed humanitarian corridor from Zaporizhzhia, 130 miles north-west of the vital port city.
Another 28 were waiting to pass checkpoints further south in Vasylivka.
Russia agreed a ceasefire from 10am local time yesterday and officials are holding their breath that it will last for the planned evacuation today. Evacuees from the region are pictured above yesterday
They were due to deliver essential supplies last night to families who have been hiding in basements for weeks under relentless bombing with no access to running water, power or fresh food.
It is hoped the buses will leave packed with civilians in what would mark a huge humanitarian success.
The International Committee of the Red Cross, which is overseeing the operation, called on both sides to stick to the exact terms of the agreement. ‘It’s desperately important that this operation takes place,’ said Ewan Watson, ICRC spokesman. ‘The lives of tens of thousands of people depend on it.’
They were due to deliver essential supplies last night to families who have been hiding in basements for weeks under relentless bombing with no access to running water, power or fresh food. A destroyed apartment building is seen above in the city
The city was home to 450,000 people before war broke out, of which 140,000 managed to flee before the Russian siege began in February. It is feared 5,000 civilians have been killed and thousands more ‘abducted’ to Russian cities.
No official humanitarian buses have so far managed to get people out, but many have escaped in their cars – or even on foot – often under fire.
The refugees have told horror stories of bodies lining the streets and families forced to kill their dogs for food.
Vladimir Putin has made clear the bombing will continue after the humanitarian operation, insisting that the bombardment will only stop once all Ukrainian troops surrender.
The city would give Moscow access to a warm sea port and allow his forces to consolidate their gains in east Ukraine. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10674541/Mariupol-awaits-aid-mission-convoy-coaches-heads-besieged-Ukrainian-city.html | 2022-04-01T02:05:51Z |

Sustainable Aviation Fuel: Airbus conducts flight fueled by cooking oil, fatty acids
Airbus’ newest zero-emission test aircraft, named ZEROe Demonstrator, executed a 3-hour flight using essentially cooking oil as fuel on March 25, according to an Airbus news release.
The plane had one of four engines that used 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), which consists of a combination of cooking oils and fatty acids.
The flight took off from the Blagnac Airport in Toulouse, France, at 8:43 a.m. and returned safely, the company said.
The SAF used to fuel the plane was produced in Normandy, France by TotalEnergies, a company that creates sustainable sources of energy for a global market, according to the company website.
The fuel was created from Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids (HEFA), which is free of aromatics and sulfur, according to Airbus.
This is the third flight an Airbus aircraft has executed using 100% SAF over the past year, the company said. The first flight was on an Airbus A350 in March 2021; the second flight was on an A319neo single-aisle aircraft in October 2021.
"Increasing the use of SAF remains a key pathway to achieving the industry’s ambition of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Key statistics outlined in the Waypoint 2050 report indicate that SAF could contribute between 53% and 71% of required carbon reductions," the company said.
Currently, all Airbus aircraft are certified to fly with up to 50% blend of SAF that is mixed with kerosene, but the company hopes to achieve 100% SAF by the end of this decade.

Airplane CO2 emissions
Global aviation emissions account for about 2.1% of all human-made carbon emissions, according to data collected by the Air Transport Action Group (ATAG).
In 2019, flights worldwide produced 915 tons of CO2, and aviation accounted for about 12% of all transportation emissions. Road transportation accounted for 74%.
Net-zero by 2050
In October 2021, the world’s largest association of airlines said it was aiming for the air transport industry to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, while acknowledging it will be a "huge challenge."
The International Air Transport Association, which has key offices in Geneva, said its general meeting in Boston had agreed on the target, a commitment that would line it up with the goal of the 2015 Paris accords to help keep global warming under 1.5 degrees Celsius.
The industry appears to be counting heavily on a carbon-offset plan laid out by a U.N. organization on civil aviation, but suggests governments have a role to play, too.
"With collective efforts of the entire value chain and supportive government policies, aviation will achieve net-zero emissions by 2050," IATA Director-General Willie Walsh said in a statement.
IATA said industry can take steps through use of sustainable fuels, new plane technologies, improved efficiencies and new power sources like electric or hydrogen power — but carbon capture and carbon-offset programs will also have a role.

It was exactly 10 years ago on St. Patrick’s Day that Justin Lopez opened High & Tight barbershop on Harrison Avenue. Lopez celebrated this milestone with a barbeque at the shop on Saturday.
When Lopez first became a barber, he started out cutting hair at various barbershops down in Denver. At 22 years old, he was living paycheck to paycheck, trying to make ends meet in an area where the cost of living was rising. That’s when he realized something needed to change, and he had the idea to open a barbershop back in his hometown of Leadville. He parents were thrilled and helped him get his start. Lopez’s older brother gave him his first barber chair. High & Tight opened in March of 2012, and was originally located where Before & After now operates.
“I was nervous about opening up a shop in Leadville,” Lopez said. “Do people even get haircuts up there?” he said with a big laugh. “But it was clearly a need for the town.”
Lopez is a Leadville native whose parents owned and operated The Pizzeria in the space now occupied by Fire on the Mountain. “Growing up seeing my parents work hard every day running their business, I guess it was always in my blood to open and run my own business here in Leadville,” Lopez said. A true native, he lives just three blocks away from where his father grew up, and his grandparents are buried at Evergreen Cemetery. Lopez’s older brother is also a barber and has opened up High & Tight II in Colorado Springs.
When asked what the keys to his success are, Lopez is very candid. “It’s a niche thing to get a shave or a haircut at an old-style barbershop like this,” he said. “We have people who drive up from surrounding counties every month to get a haircut from us. It seems like we’re the only ones in the mountains doing this right now.” Lopez continued, “We end every haircut with a hot neck shave. Some of the older gentlemen, maybe it takes them back. For some, it’s the nostalgia,” Lopez said.
When High & Tight first opened, Lopez was intentional about making the shop a safe hangout for Leadville youth. There was a pool table and a set of free weights for young people to use. Back then and even now, Lopez allows young people to sweep up, do chores around the shop to earn a few bucks or just simply hang out. “I want to give opportunities to kids, the same opportunities that were given to me,” he said.
Michael Smith is the other barber at High & Tight. “I love it,” Smith said when asked what it’s like to cut hair. “I get to talk to all kinds of people every day. It’s laid back and fun. It’s great to have people laughing in here,” Smith said.
About two years ago, High & Tight moved up Harrison Avenue to the corner of West Ninth Street. As for further plans for the future, “I’d like to fill the third chair, get another barber in here,” Lopez said. The demand appears to be high enough and the shop is certainly busy. Lopez also said that he plans to use the space for a jewelry business as well as for Celestial Skin, which offers facials and skin care treatments.
Appointments for haircuts and shaves at High & Tight can be made through Booksy.com, and the shop can be reached by phone at 970-471-4424. They can also be found on Facebook.
High & Tight is open Monday-Friday 9 a.m.-5:30 p.m., Saturday 8 a.m.-5:30 p.m., and is closed Sundays. | https://www.leadvilleherald.com/news/article_44d5e1b6-b036-11ec-98c9-b36ebc0efde4.html | 2022-04-01T02:05:53Z |
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WIAT) — A recent poll conducted by CBS42, The Hill, Emerson College found Alabamians are fairly split on whether the state should legalize recreational marijuana.
“There’s still a lot of controversy about marijuana in Alabama,” Emerson College Polling Executive Director Spencer Kimball said.
The poll shows 47% of Alabama primary voters oppose legalizing marijuana for recreational use, while 42% support it. Alabama Appleseed Research Director Leah Nelson favors legalization.
“We would save a lot of money and police resources if we were to legalize recreational marijuana,” Nelson said.
Nelson supports a bill in the legislature to lessen the penalties for marijuana possession, noting that Black people are disproportionately arrested for using the drug.
“I hope they go ahead and legalize it at some point, but decriminalization is an important first step,” she said.
Dr. Stephen Taylor, former president of the Alabama Society of Addiction Medicine, supports decriminalizing the drug.
“I’m not insensitive to that argument, obviously. I’m in that category, I’m a person of color, that’s a problem. I’m not convinced that the solution to that is to legalize marijuana and tell everyone it’s safe,” Taylor said.
However, Taylor thinks full legalization would bring problems to the state, especially among its most vulnerable populations, such as teenagers.
“Cannabis use is not a harmless thing and that’s what the data on this tells us,” he said.
But those with the Alabama chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, or NORML, say decriminalization doesn’t go far enough.
“Enforcing marijuana prohibition is a tremendous waste of taxpayer dollars. We just believe that responsible, adult use should be legalized here,” said Taylor Wright, executive director of NORML’s Alabama chapter.
So far, 18 states and Washington, D.C. have legalized recreational marijuana. | https://whnt.com/news/alabamians-split-on-whether-or-not-to-legalize-recreational-marijuana/ | 2022-04-01T02:05:54Z |

Which StarTech docking station is best?
While lightweight, compact laptop computers are great for jobs on the go or when you’re away from your office, there are plenty of times when the larger viewing real estate and connectivity of a traditional desktop computer are desired. Thankfully, StarTech provides docking stations that allow you to greatly expand the usability of your laptop computer.
The StarTech.com USB-C Dock includes a wealth of display and data ports that let you fully integrate your laptop with a wide range of other devices and equipment, including speakers, monitors and more.
What to know before you buy a StarTech docking station
Your requirements
Carefully consider the reasons for which you want to convert your laptop computing experience into one that is more akin to using a desktop. Are you editing video and looking to view your work on a monitor that allows for a less cluttered workspace? Are you in need of multiple displays to let you code and compare designs more easily? Or perhaps, you simply want to be able to create a dedicated, centered area within which to get focused work done without outside distractions.
No matter your reasons, choosing the right docking station means imagining the workspace you hope to create and seeking out a dock that will provide you with the flexibility you need to make it your own.
Your equipment
Take stock of what equipment you will be attaching to your laptop computer while shopping for a docking station. Consider the type and age of the connection that your external monitor requires. If you plan on using your computer with a sound system, be sure to know if your speakers are Bluetooth enabled or require a wired connection to your laptop. Paying close attention to the gear you hope to use will help prevent any compatibility issues you may experience after making an uneducated purchase.
Your laptop’s compatibility
USB-C has risen to become the new standard when it comes to connecting devices. Because of this, the majority of StarTech docking stations fully embrace this option. However, older laptops may not have this particular USB type installed. Depending on your hardware, you may need to seek out an adapter or two to ensure compliance with a brand-new dock.
Thankfully, making the leap from one connectivity standard to another is made easier by the wide availability of adapters and dongles that help bridge the gap between yesterday’s tech and today’s trends. Some StarTech docks even include a USB adapter in the box.
What to look for in a quality StarTech docking station
Ports
One of the biggest reasons to use a docking station is to be able to take advantage of the abundance of ports that they provide. From HDMI to various USB and memory card types, there are docks available for every profession and preference. You will be surprised at how quickly your dock becomes fully occupied with chargers and connected devices. Because of this, select a dock with as many ports as possible.
Monitor connectivity
The convenience of a large, luxurious monitor in your workstation cannot be overstated. Be sure that the dock you purchase includes the correct HDMI ports required for today’s displays. Older monitors that connect via other means may require adapters. Because of the fast pace of display technology, some especially old monitors, sadly, may have to be left behind as you build out your desk.
Size
Select a StarTech dock that is large enough to accommodate your needs but not so big as to hog too much of your valuable desk space. Miniature docks are available alongside standard models, although these units tend to lack many of the ports and features that make the devices attractive in the first place. If you require a large dock but don’t want to sacrifice surface area or prefer to keep the majority of your cables out of sight, you may want to consider mounting your dock out of sight behind your desk.
Additionally, portable docks are available and popular for both their space-saving dimensions as well as the ease with which you can bring them along for business on the move.
Aesthetics
As Apple’s design influences have dominated the tech industry over the last two decades, computer accessories have followed suit. StarTech provides gray and aluminum docks to match Apple’s flagship MacBook models, as well as more universal black and white models. For those who prefer matching devices, there are docks available that will complement your gear and blend seamlessly into your work environment.
How much you can expect to spend on a StarTech docking station
Small, portable StarTech docking stations can be purchased for less than $100. However, powerful units that include Thunderbolt ports and other top-tier features can cost $200-$400.
StarTech docking station FAQ
Will a docking station make my laptop faster?
A. No. Docking stations allow you to connect your laptop to external speakers, monitors and more but they do nothing to enhance the performance of your computer. In fact, an underpowered computer may run slower if connected to too many displays.
Can I connect multiple docks together?
A. In some cases, yes. USB, in particular, is an accessible enough connection that users can sometimes “daisy chain” docks together to expand their usage. However, the functionality may vary depending on the power consumption of the devices you wish to use and with regard to other connections such as HDMI.
Do laptop docks provide storage space?
A. No. Laptop docks allow you to connect your computer to external hard drives, but they contain no internal storage.

Michigan State gymnastics advanced to NCAA regional finals
The Michigan State gymnastics team is continuing its postseason run.
The Spartans are heading to the NCAA regional finals after finishing in second place in the semifinals Thursday in Seattle with 197.325 points.
Alabama took first place with 197.900 points. MSU edged out Washington for the second-place spot, coming from behind in the final event to surpass the Huskies.
In that final event, the floor routine, Skyla Schulte and Ashley Hofelich scored 9.950 to tie for first individually and give the Spartans the final edge in the team score. As a team, MSU finished with 49.550 points on the floor, the third-highest mark in program history.
The 197.325 points by MSU was the most this season, and the fourth-highest in program history.
The Spartans also set three postseason program records Thursday: scoring 49.200 in the vault to pass the previous mark of 49.075 set in 2009; 49.225 on the bars, topping a 48.950 score set in 2016; and 49.350 on the beam.
Schulte also tied for second on the beam (9.925) and was third on the all-around (39.400).
MSU and Alabama will take on two of Utah, Illinois, Oregon or Stanford in the regional finals Saturday. The top two teams on Saturday will qualify for the NCAA Championships on April 14 in Fort Worth, Texas.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – People who are 50 and older are now eligible for a fourth dose of COVID-19 vaccine.
Kimberly Giuliano, MD, is the physician lead for COVID-19 vaccine operations at Cleveland Clinic. She said the booster is designed to increase antibody response that may have waned over time.
“Largely the goal here is to prevent serious cases, to prevent hospitalization and to prevent deaths,” she explained.
“We’ve seen that some individuals, despite being vaccinated and boosted, are still at risk for transmission or getting infected with the disease. Our hope is that we can help to keep them as healthy as possible.”
This week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized additional COVID-19 booster shots.
The authorization includes Pfizer and Moderna and makes adults 50 and older eligible for another vaccine dose.
It also allows people 12 and up, who are immunocompromised, to receive another booster.
Vaccine effectiveness wanes over time and evidence suggests older people and those who are immunocompromised can benefit from a boost.
With COVID-19 cases still relatively low and Omicron’s BA.2 variant looming, Dr. Giuliano said it’s a good time to get boosted.
“It’s best to think about vaccines in terms of prevention instead of waiting for a massive wave of cases to get here, especially for these individuals that we’re mentioning here who are at the highest risk of complications from COVID infections,” said Dr. Giuliano.
The FDA plans to meet next week to review data on whether an additional booster will be recommended for people under age 50. | https://www.counton2.com/news/2-your-health/2-your-health-additional-covid-19-booster-recommended-for-people-50-and-over/ | 2022-04-01T02:05:55Z |

Janae Tyler etched name in Holt girls basketball record books on way to all-state honors
Janae Tyler made an instant impact when she joined the Holt girls basketball program as a freshman.
And her presence continued to be felt in a big way this winter as the Rams navigated a challenging schedule that included the likes of Haslett, Ypsilanti Arbor Prep, Westfield Prep and CAAC Blue rivals East Lansing and DeWitt.
Tyler became the school’s all-time leader in rebounds while helping Holt bounce back from a 4-7 season. And the junior standout’s strong play led to her being named first team all-state in Division 1 by the Associated Press.
The honor was the second for Tyler on one of the top AP all-state teams in Division 1. She earned recognition on the second team as a freshman.
Tyler was one of Greater Lansing’s top scorers and rebounders this season. She averaged 18.8 points, 13.5 rebounds, 2.1 blocks and 2.1 steals while helping Holt to a 13-8 mark and runner-up finish in the CAAC Blue.
First-year Holt coach Tori Brooks said Tyler was a dominant force in the paint and enjoyed watching her score inside and grab rebounds while helping the Rams find success.
Tyler was one of two area players to earn top honors in Division 1.
Division 2 all-state:Portland's Ashley Bower, Corunna's Ellie Toney named to first team
Division 3 all-state:Dansville's Erin Sherwood leads all-state selections
Division 4 all-state:How an early February loss helped Fowler basketball star Mia Riley repeat as player of year
East Lansing senior Soraya Timms was selected second team all-state after playing a role as the Trojans won CAAC Blue, district and regional championships.
After being hindered by a foot injury last season, Timms had a strong finish to her high school career. The Michigan Tech signee averaged 14 points, 5 assists, 5 steals and 5 rebounds for East Lansing, which went 19-5.
Michigan State signee Theryn Hallock of Grand Rapids Forest Hills Central led the Division 1 all-state team as the player of the year.
Honorable mention all-state players from the area included Holt’s Claire Groenewoud, East Lansing’s Ella Miller and Haslett’s Grace Isenhath.

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Gov. Ron DeSantis floated the idea Thursday of changing Florida law to revoke the Walt Disney Company’s right of self-rule in the Reedy Creek Improvement District, the Florida-based seat of the Magic Kingdom.
In the days since DeSantis signed the Parental Rights in Education bill into law, which opponents call the “Don’t Say Gay” law, opposition to the legislation by Disney has provoked talk of using state legislation to take away the company’s ability to self-govern its lands. Disney first got the right of legal self-control in 1967, with passage of the Reedy Creek Improvement Act.
According to historical documents from the Reedy Creek Improvement District, then-Florida Gov. Claude Kirk signed the RCID Act into law in May 1967, creating two municipalities: Bay Lake and Reedy Creek, which was later renamed Lake Buena Vista. The location, nestled between Orange and Osceola counties, would later become the site where Walt Disney World was built.
The RCID Charter created a 25,000-acre of land as a special taxing district. At the time, it was considered remote and uninhabitable, but now is the site of one of the busiest theme parks in the United States.
To make Disney’s plan happen, the area had to get special privileges from the state of Florida to essentially run itself.
“In 1967, the Florida State legislature, working with Walt Disney World Company, created a special taxing district – called the Reedy Creek Improvement District – that would act with the same authority and responsibility as a county government,” RCID says on its website.
Enter an era of the Magic Kingdom living a life of self-determination and self-rule.
Now, following the company’s public opposition to HB 1557, DeSantis and other state lawmakers have said they’re considering revoking that charter through a repeal of the RCIA, potentially ending Disney’s right to rule in Central Florida.
State Representative Spencer Roach, R-Fort Myers, tweeted on March 30 that he met with colleagues for a second time to discuss repeal of the decades-old law. In Ponte Vedra Beach on Thursday, DeSantis said he wanted to repeal it but not just over the current political fight, and not just the privilege that Disney currently enjoys.
The governor’s words are reminiscent of the state’s 2021 “Big Tech Censorship Crackdown,” in which a law was passed to allow lawsuits against companies like Facebook and Twitter over banning political candidates and equating it to a fight over free speech.
In his speech in Ponte Vedra Beach, DeSantis said the point was to take away the power of “woke” corporations from interfering in Florida politics.
“I would not say that would be retaliatory. The way I view it is there are certain entities that have exerted a lot of influence through corporate means to generate special privileges in the law. I don’t think we should have special privileges in the law at all,” DeSantis said. “Some of these things have developed over the years. I had to deal with this last year, when we passed a law last year to protect Floridians from big tech censorship. The idea was to let them be able to sue under the ‘Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act,’ protect political candidates from being de-platformed, stuff that was good. And it’s being litigated in the courts, which we knew it would. But at the 11th hour, the Legislature slips in a provision in that law that said ‘If you operate a theme park, it doesn’t apply to you.’ And that was meant solely to protect Disney.”
DeSantis said when the provision was added, he had to decide whether to veto the bill and “throw the baby out with the bath water” or allow it to become law as-is, with the protection for theme parks. To be clear, Disney is not the only theme park in Florida. Universal Studios, SeaWorld, Legoland, Busch Gardens and Discovery Cove are all in the state, to name a few.
DeSantis claims he isn’t just targeting Disney over his administration’s current disagreements with the company.
“I don’t think it’s retaliatory, I just think that Disney’s posturing has alienated a lot of people now. And so, the political influence they’re used to wielding, I think has dissipated, so the question is ‘Why would you want to have special privileges in the law, at all?'” DeSantis said. “And I don’t think that we should. But it’s not a matter of acting like those were really great policies. I think that those were policies over decades that were embedded in Florida’s law, largely because they wielded a lot of influence. I think because they’ve been able to do that over the years, I think that’s why they’ve gotten so, that’s one of the reasons they’ve got so far over their skis on this parental rights stuff.”
He said he thinks Disney is used to getting their way, and not having lawmakers stop them. DeSantis said he thinks that’s different now.
“They’re not used to having people that will stand in their way and say ‘Actually, the state of Florida’s going to be governed by the best interests of its people in Florida,” DeSantis said. “We’re certainly not going to bend a knee to woke executives in California. That is not the way the state is going to be run.”
Other than the “big tech carve-out” from 2021, he said he’s never given Disney anything while he’s been governor. DeSantis said he wanted to “reevaluate any special privileges of the law,” not just Disney’s. | https://www.counton2.com/news/national-news/florida-gop-considers-revoking-disney-worlds-right-to-self-rule-over-dont-say-gay-opposition/ | 2022-04-01T02:05:56Z |

Bruce Willis' friends fear aphasia is linked to injuries actor suffered when he was 'hit in the head by pyrotechnic device' on 2002 set but F/X worker for film says star was struck by just one 'hot shell casing' and was not hurt
- Bruce Willis, 67, sued the studio for the film Tears of the Sun in 2004 claiming he'd suffered 'substantial mental and physical injuries'
- The 'Die Hard' actor claimed that a small special effects explosive hit him in the head
- The lawsuit said he needed 'physicians and medical personnel' for his injuries
- The suit was settled in 2005, but it's unclear if money was exchange
- Revolution Studio, which made the film, did not respond for comment
- Joe Pancake, the special effects specialist on the movie, said Willis was hit by a 'hot shell casing'
- Willis was not seriously injured at all, the F/X specialist said
- He said that medical records show doctors prescribed Tylenol for Willis' pain
Friends and family of Bruce Willis believe that a head injury he suffered on the set of the 2002 action movie Tears of the Sun could be the cause of the debilitating brain disease that has ended his career, but a special effects worker on the movie denied the claim.
Family - including ex-wife Demi Moore, current wife Emma Heming and daughter Rumer Willis - announced on Wednesday that the 'Die Hard' actor was diagnosed with aphasia, a neuro-cognitive disorder that effects the sufferers ability to speak and understand language. As a result, Willis was 'stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him.'
An unnamed friend told The Sun that his family believes that the disability could be linked to a hit he took to the head on the action-rescue film.
Willis sued the production company, Revolution Studio, and the action movie's special effects professional Joe Pancake in 2004, claiming he had suffered 'substantial mental and physical injuries' after he had been hit by a 'squib' - a special effects explosive meant to look like the impact of gunfire, during the October 2002 production.
Pancake called Willis's injuries 'bullsh--' in an interview with DailyMail.com on Thursday.
'The judge laughed him out of court,' Pancake said.
According to the special effects guy, Willis and three other actors were firing off hundreds of rounds of blanks from their automatic rifles and a 'hot shell casing' hit the actor in the forehead.
Bruce Willis, 67, sued the production company for a 'mental' injury he claimed he suffered on the movie set of 'Tears of the Sun.' He's shown here playing the part of a battle-harden American soldier
Willis, shown here with co-star Monica Bellucci, claimed that a special effects explosive hit him in the head during filming of the movie
Willis's injury from an explosive hitting him in the head required medical attention, he claimed in a lawsuit
In the film, Willis played the role of Lt. A.K. Waters, a battle-hardened combat soldier leading his troop on a mission to save a humanitarian doctor pinned down by rebels in the jungle of Nigeria.
The suit claims that the actor endured 'extreme mental, physical and emotional pain and suffering' from his injuries.
Lawyers for the Die Hard actor said in court papers that Willis 'was required to and did employ physicians and other medical personnel.'
The suit was settled in August 2005, but it's unclear if any money exchanged hands.
No one at Revolution Studio, which also made 'Hellboy' and 'Black Hawk Down,' was available comment.
Pancake on Thursday denied that Willis was hit with a squib.
'In my 38 years of experience I know that they don't fly up and hit you in the head,' he said. 'He tried to blame my department. He dragged my name through the mud for two years. It was 'bullsh--.'
After all his allegations they made him show his medical records and you know what the doctor prescribed him? Tylenol.'
Special effects professional Joe Pancake denied that Willis was injured on the set, saying that the actor was merely struck in the head by a hot shell casing
Pancake, pictured here, said that Willis's doctors prescribed Tylenol for his injures. He said the judge 'laughed it out of court'
His family shared a statement on their social media pages announcing his diagnosis on Wednesday and saying he will be be 'stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him'
Pancake said he enjoyed working with Willis.
'He was great to work with,' Pancake said. 'Me and him got along great until he named me in the suit. I wasn't even the special effect coordinator, but he remembered my name.'
Though admittedly he has no medical background, Pancake said that a 20-year-old injury would not manifest itself now.
'I'm not a doctor and I know that' he said.
Sources say acclaimed actor Bruce Willis, 67, has been having trouble on the sets of his recent movies, and was even pictured wearing an earpiece to feed him lines on the set of American Siege in 2020
Willis is perhaps best known for his role in the Die Hard series as John McClane
Bruce Willis was a hit in the 1994 Quentin Tarantino film Pulp Fiction
Willis became a major action star with his 1988 breakthrough film Die Hard
Pancake said he thought Willis sued because his acting career was flagging at that time.
'It was a publicity stunt because he was washed up,' he said. 'He went from a $20-million-a-movie actor to nothing.'
Willis's cognitive problems became an open secret in Hollywood, according to reports.
'It was becoming super obvious he was having trouble,' an unnamed source told PageSix. 'He could not act anymore.'
As the Daily Mail exclusively reported, he was photographed in a scene in his new movie American Siege, which was filmed in 2020, wearing an earpiece.
He also relied on an earpiece to be fed his lines in 2015 Broadway production of 'Misery,' OK Magazine reported.
He was also reportedly struggling during the filming of M. Night Shyamalan's 2019 film Glass.
His most recent films, like Cosmic Sun, have been panned by critics, and the actor has now won the award for 'worst films of 2021' at the Razzies
'While filming Glass, staffers worked around him by cutting and editing and having him overdub lines because he struggled to remember and/or deliver them,' they told the publication, according to the New Zealand Herald.
'In most scenes on Glass he's hooded, and they used stand-in and body doubles to replace him. On set, he wouldn't smile and was always chaperoned by an assistant to guide him while walking.'
The source also said at the time that Willis had sold his New York property to spend more time with his wife and children in Los Angeles, and said that his wife, as well as ex-wife Demi Moore, were working together to take care of the famed actor.
'His wife Emma has helped Demi Moore and the children Bruce shares with his ex-wife to make truces because they know he's fading,' the unnamed source told the magazine in January 2021.
'Between Demi and Emma, the family has always ensured Bruce has the support and care he might need at any given time,' the insider said.
They added, 'The good news is that although there is the real concern of dementia fears, it largely has not impacted his ability to work in Hollywood – and in true super hero form – he won't slow down because new technology like earpieces allows actors of his caliber not to skip a beat.'
But in recent years, the New Zealand Herald reports, die hard fans of the actor have noticed he was taking more roles in straight-to-video releases.
This year, Page Six reports, Willis was given his own category at the Razzies - a parody award show honoring the worst of cinematic under-achievements - for the 'worst movies of 2021' after he starred in eight critically-panned films.
One of his films, Out of Death, earned a zero percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
The parody awards show apologized to the actor following the announcement of his diagnosis on Wednesday, tweeting: 'The Razzies are truly sorry for #BruceWillis' diagnosed condition.
'Perhaps this explains why he wanted to go out with a bang in 2021. Our best wishes to Bruce and family.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10674551/Bruce-Willis-friends-fear-aphasia-linked-injuries-hit-head-set-2002.html | 2022-04-01T02:05:58Z |
Chapter AF, Leadville’s local P.E.O. International chapter, is announcing its second year to award The Barbara Mallette Memorial Scholarship, a scholarship for Lake County High School women graduates.
When Barbara Mallette died in 2018, she left a substantial bequest to Chapter AF to be used for scholarships. This money has been transferred to the P.E.O. Foundation.
As owner of the Leadville Picture Company, Mallette photographed seniors, families and weddings and played an important role in the Lake County community. For decades, Mallette worked with Lake County High School (LCHS) seniors for their official senior portraits, and as a P.E.O. member, she was dedicated to helping women achieve their educational and career goals.
The Barbara Mallette Memorial Scholarship is available to women graduates of LCHS and Cloud City High School who have completed at least 24 credit hours after their high school graduation date and are on track to continue their educational/vocational program. Chapter AF will be considering students who are in the midst of their education, a point where scholarship money is hard to obtain.
Scholarship applicants must be enrolled in an accredited post-secondary educational or vocational program in the United States.
This competitive scholarship will range from $2,000-$4,000 per year, and can be renewable. This year’s application must be received by April 15, 2022 for the 2022-2023 school year.
To get an application and information, please email Sue Jewell at sjewell@lakecountyschools.net or Katherine Kerrigan at kkerrigan@lakecountyschools.net. All Chapter AF members can also help a candidate get information and/or an application.

P.E.O. International Chapter AF | https://www.leadvilleherald.com/opinion/letters_to_editor/article_28a9e7a4-b035-11ec-a055-0b9c4c6ea8b2.html | 2022-04-01T02:05:59Z |
(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.

If you’re tired of looking at old furniture that you bought last year from IKEA, the retailer has announced that it will now pay customers to bring back old furniture.
The IKEA buyback and resell option has now been made available for 37 of its U.S. stores. As a way to help pave a path toward sustainable living, the company has brought back the initiative that was launched late last year.
How does it work?
You start by filling out a form on IKEA’s website in order to receive an emailed quote of the buyback value for your furniture. Customers are asked to bring a copy of their quote, buyback number, and fully assembled furniture to your participating IKEA store where an employee will assess the furniture’s buyback value.
When you buyback, you will get store credit and your furniture gets a second life in the As-Is department.
What are the buyback requirements?
According to IKEA, the following categories of products are not currently eligible for the furniture buy-back service:
- Non-IKEA products
- Home furnishing accessories including lighting and textiles
- Add-on units and componentry
- Products that have been used outside including outdoor furniture
- Mattresses and bad textiles (such as blankets and mattress toppers)
- Kitchens including bench tops, cabinets, and fronts
- Modular wardrobes and accessories
- Electrical appliances and products
- Chests of drawers
- “Hacked,” modified or painted products
- Non-assembled products
- Market Hall products (including small kitchen goods, art, rugs, and picture frames)
- Upholstered or leather products
- Sofas or armchairs
- Plants
- Items containing glass (including mirrors)
- Children’s and baby products (such as cribs, mattresses, and change tables)
- Beds and bed frames
The retailer said on its website that large quantities and commercially used items are exempt. | https://www.counton2.com/news/national-news/ikea-will-pay-you-to-return-old-furniture-at-select-stores/ | 2022-04-01T02:06:02Z |
Which 144Hz monitors are best?
Computer technology has grown in leaps and bounds since the 1980s. A large part of this growth is due to the video games industry, which pushes for better graphics, faster machines and bigger monitors.
When it comes to monitors, the standard 60-hertz monitor has been a staple for many gamers. However, now it’s commonplace to see 75Hz or 120Hz dedicated gaming monitors. For the ultimate gaming experience, only the best Samsung 49-Inch CHG90 144Hz Curved Gaming Monitor will do. It provides an extra-crisp picture and comes with a swivel stand to allow for easy adjustment.
What to know before you buy a 144Hz monitor
Make sure your computer is compatible
Having a computer monitor that can handle 144Hz is one thing, but making sure you have a computer that can manage the output is another aspect altogether. The 144Hz refers to how many frames your computer can display per second. While the monitor can certainly handle this speed, not all graphics cards can keep up. You might be disappointed if your new 144Hz monitor can’t produce the frames per second you want, thanks to a subpar graphics card. Make sure your computer is compatible before making a purchase.
Resolution importance
The monitor’s maximum resolution will also play a role in the graphical quality. The standard for all games released today is 1080p, but there are plenty of titles you can play at Ultra HD or even 4K. To get the best out of the monitor, consider the resolution and whether you have content to support it.
Reduced screen tearing
The dreaded screen tearing is something that most gamers have dealt with at some point in their lives. Screen tearing is when your monitor’s refresh rate can’t keep up with the game’s frame rate. This creates a distorted picture or continually distorted images. By having a 144Hz monitor, the higher refresh rate will dramatically reduce the chances of screen tearing.
What to look for in a quality 144Hz monitor
Connection ports
The monitor connects to your computer or laptop through a connection port. The most common port is an HDMI connection, but this has a limited refresh rate and resolution. A good-quality monitor will also have a DisplayPort connection, which can output 8K content at 120Hz or 4K content at 240Hz. HDMI has a maximum output of 8K content at 30Hz.
High Dynamic Range for better quality
High Dynamic Range (HDR) is a relatively new technology in video games and influences the color range of games. Conventional monitors struggle to show dark and bright areas simultaneously, but HDR renders the image with the correct shading throughout. Not only does it improve the visual quality, but it can also feel more immersive.
Built-in synching to reduce screen tearing
While the 144Hz monitor technology already goes a long way to reduce screen tearing, some manufacturers incorporate Nvidia’s G-Sync or AMD’s FreeSync into a monitor’s hardware. This added bit of technology helps to massively reduce instances of graphical artifacts and screen tearing. Keep in mind you need to have a graphics card that supports either system to take advantage of this.
How much you can expect to spend on a 144Hz monitor
The average price of a 144Hz monitor depends on the monitor’s brand, capabilities and size. An affordable 144Hz monitor costs around $200-$300, but larger displays with curved screens will be closer to $800-$1,000.
144Hz monitor FAQ
Can you mount or raise 144Hz monitors?
A. Yes, you can, as long as the base is large enough. Most monitors are also compatible with VESA mounts, so you can attach them to walls or a monitor arm.
Can you use a 144Hz monitor on an Xbox One?
A. Yes, as long as you connect the correct display cables. There are only a few titles that support 120Hz, and there are even fewer that support 144Hz. Most developers choose not to support 144Hz and opt for higher graphical quality at 60Hz.

Perspective: Why African Americans hold fast to their faith
The religious faith of African Americans is generational, historical and spiritual. Our lived experiences of incessant afflictions, suffering and injustices have seen Christ’s redemptive grace, healing and faithfulness. He has shown us that he is the promise-keeper. For many of us, our hope is built, anchored and bound in the salvific...

Coffee County Commissioners met Monday morning, March 28, and approved several departmental requests.
County administrator Rod Morgan was on vacation, therefore, chief accounting officer Melissa Glavan filled in for him. She said bids recently had been opened for the voters list publication with two local newspapers submitting bids.
The Southeast Sun bid $12,500 while the Enterprise Ledger bid $13,750 to print the voters list for the county. Commissioners voted unanimously to award the bid to the Southeast Sun.
Upon request of county engineer Marty Lentz, commissioners voted to give him permission to deem a 2014 Chevrolet C1500 truck as surplus property to sell on GovDeals.com. Lentz said the truck had been utilized by the maintenance department as a spare vehicle, but it had started having transmission issues. He said it will be listed as for sale ‘as is’ on the GovDeals site.
Looking ahead to the next fiscal year, Lentz asked commissioners to approve a motion allowing him to place an order for MowerMax machines designed to cut limbs and bushes off the roadside. He said these machines would replace the current four tractors with boom cutters the county utilizes.
Lentz said he anticipates a September delivery of the new MowerMax machines, and at that time, he would come back to the commission to deem the current tractors as surplus.
Commissioners voted to allow Lentz to order the two MowerMax machines for next fiscal year.
For the environmental services department, commissioners approved repair costs in the amount of $54,723.86 from Thompson Tractor for a final drive.
The sheriff’s department also had a request to surplus some items. Captain Michael Hines asked for permission for the sheriff’s office to be able to deem surplus and sell on GovDeals.com four items: a 2008 Ford Econoline 350 van, a 2012 Dodge Caravan, a 2006 Dodge Caravan, and a 2008 model enclosed trailer. His request was approved by unanimous vote. | https://www.elba-clipper.com/news/coffee-county-commission-awards-bid-for-county-voters-list-publication/article_08588bf2-b07d-11ec-9437-3305d9a66988.html | 2022-04-01T02:06:04Z |
The City of Mount Vernon will be hosting a wayfinding signage meeting in April, seeking community input for some of the designs.
Members of the council heard a report from Confluence on the wayfinding study Wednesday, March 23.
Patrick Alvord, principal engineer at Confluence of Cedar Rapids, outlined the goals with the signage.
“One of the goals with the wayfinding signage the city identified was the need to drive folks from the highway into the downtown,” Alvord said.
Confluence identified roughly five different entry points to the City of Mount Vernon where wayfinding signage would be beneficial — The roundabout with Business 30 and Hwy. 1, the roundabout near the Mount Vernon School district, the west entrance to the town near the Mount Vernon Police Department, the entrance to Mount Vernon from Springville Road and the entrance to town from the north along Hwy. 1.
“One of the things we’re looking at is the signs that will help direct people to the on and off ramps for Hwy. 30,” Alvord said.
For Confluence, the goal with any wayfinding signage is to celebrate the past of the community, while complimenting the future. Wayfinding signs would attempt to be as non-invasive as possible, but help to direct people not familiar with the community to the important regions in town, including the uptown business district, Cornell College and Mount Vernon Schools.
“One of the priorities for Mount Vernon is that we want signs that look sharp, but we don’t want any that would take a lot of cleaning or maintenance,” Alvord said. “I look at something like the stone signs in Coralville which are visually striking, but they require a lot of maintenance for those city crews. That’s something we would want to avoid for Mount Vernon, as that would put a burden on a small community’s city crews.”
Alvord said that the wayfinding signage study will have a quick turnaround time, roughly a four months after getting input from the community.
With community input happening in April, Confluence will bring back additional designs in May for the aesthetics, then go back and develop designs and bring the ideas back in July for the city to possibly implement them.
One of the key things for the wayfinding signage will be developing a gateway sign that will be placed in the Business 30 roundabout at the intersection with Hwy. 1.
Mount Vernon-Lisbon Police chief Doug Shannon said that having a visual impairment in the roundabout would actually be beneficial to traffic there.
“Having the center of that roundabout full would actually make people have to slow down,” Shannon said. “Right now, because people can see traffic coming from all directions, most drivers don’t slow down as they enter or traverse the roundabout. By having an obstruction that limits view of traffic, drivers would need to slow down.”
Council member Craig Engel asked if the city could tie into the signage that Cornell has for their property. Alvord said that the only tie in he would recommend would be in directing people to the campus, and letting Cornell’s signage do the rest.
Mayor Tom Wieseler asked about the city’s restrictions for signage.
City administrator Chris Nosbisch said the school, city and college have a little flexibility within those ordinances, and that wayfinding signage is not looking to be large or obtrusive.
“I think the only restrictions I’d see are along Hwy. 1,” Nosbisch said. “All the other roads, we have flexibility on where we can place our signs. Our biggest challenge is in the uptown business district, where we already have several signs about parking and other items.”
The wayfinding signs will try not to direct to an individual business, but more the business district itself.
“The goal is when people leave the bypass, we can direct them to various landmarks in the community,” Nosbisch said.
Alvord said one of the things the city should recognize is that as development happens along the Business 30 corridor, signs at the north and west end of town may need to help direct people to that region as well.
Nosbisch will work with Jennison and members of the Community Development Group to host the wayfinding signage meeting and collect more community input. | https://www.eastcentraliowanews.com/mvlsun/wayfinding-signage-study-discussed-by-council/article_cb99f313-ccdd-59d8-a6e8-1f9e6dd4ba85.html | 2022-04-01T02:06:05Z |
This letter is a response to a letter from the editor titled “Quinn calls for etiquette on Nordic ski trails.” Mr. Quinn, you wrote that “folks need some education on winter trail ethics.” Ethics have nothing to do with winter trail use. Ethics are defined as “conforming to accepted professional standards of conduct.” As for trail etiquette, yes, dog walkers should clean up after their pets, and snowshoers, walkers and fat-tire cyclists should stay to one side of the groomed trail rather than traveling down the middle. When one user attempts to pass another they should call out “track,” “on your left” or “on your right.” Your statement that “groomed ski trails are for skiing, not walking, running or biking” would indicate that you wish to have exclusive use of free, groomed trails for skate-skiing for you and your friends since no one else in the community has made such a request.
As you may well know, the groomed ski trails on the Timberline Campus of Colorado Mountain College (CMC) serve an important purpose: to provide a learning laboratory for students in the Ski Area Operations (SAO) grooming classes. If these trails get groomed during the Christmas vacation, weekends or spring break, it is because SAO faculty members have donated their time to groom them. As the sign at the trailhead indicates, CMC trails are for “cross-country skiing, running, hiking, biking and disc golf.” They are for “non-motorized vehicles” and “pets must be on leash.” Nothing states that these trails are for the exclusive use of cross-country skiing. The Mineral Belt Trail (MBT) is a similar resource being a free, groomed trail. The MBT website states that winter use is for “freestyle and classic Nordic skiing, snowshoeing and winter biking”.
Mr. Quinn, if you wish to have exclusive use of groomed winter trails for skate-skiing, then I suggest you do what many other people in the area have to do: go to the Frisco Nordic Center, the Breckenridge Nordic Center or the Tennessee Pass Nordic Center and pay for that privilege.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House on Thursday passed a bill capping the monthly cost of insulin at $35 for insured patients, part of an election-year push by Democrats for price curbs on prescription drugs at a time of rising inflation.
Experts say the legislation, which passed 232-193, would provide significant relief for privately insured patients with skimpier plans and for Medicare enrollees facing rising out-of-pocket costs for their insulin. Some could save hundreds of dollars annually, and all insured patients would get the benefit of predictable monthly costs for insulin. The bill would not help the uninsured.
But the Affordable Insulin Now Act will serve as a political vehicle to rally Democrats and force Republicans who oppose it into uncomfortable votes ahead of the midterms. For the legislation to pass Congress, 10 Republican senators would have to vote in favor. Democrats acknowledge they don’t have an answer for how that’s going to happen.
“If 10 Republicans stand between the American people being able to get access to affordable insulin, that’s a good question for 10 Republicans to answer,” said Rep. Dan Kildee, D-Mich., a cosponsor of the House bill. “Republicans get diabetes, too. Republicans die from diabetes.”
Public opinion polls have consistently shown support across party lines for congressional action to limit drug costs.
But Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., complained the legislation is only “a small piece of a larger package around government price controls for prescription drugs.” Critics say the bill would raise premiums and fails to target pharmaceutical middlemen seen as contributing to high list prices for insulin.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said Democrats could have a deal on prescription drugs if they drop their bid to authorize Medicare to negotiate prices. “Do Democrats really want to help seniors, or would they rather have the campaign issue?” Grassley said.
The insulin bill, which would take effect in 2023, represents just one provision of a much broader prescription drug package in President Joe Biden’s social and climate legislation.
In addition to a similar $35 cap on insulin, the Biden bill would authorize Medicare to negotiate prices for a range of drugs, including insulin. It would penalize drugmakers who raise prices faster than inflation and overhaul the Medicare prescription drug benefit to limit out-of-pocket costs for enrollees.
Biden’s agenda passed the House only to stall in the Senate because Democrats could not reach consensus. Party leaders haven’t abandoned hope of getting the legislation moving again, and preserving its drug pricing curbs largely intact.
The idea of a $35 monthly cost cap for insulin actually has a bipartisan pedigree. The Trump administration had created a voluntary option for Medicare enrollees to get insulin for $35, and the Biden administration continued it.
In the Senate, Republican Susan Collins of Maine and Democrat Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire are working on a bipartisan insulin bill. Georgia Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock has introduced legislation similar to the House bill, with the support of Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York.
Stung by criticism that Biden’s economic policies spur inflation, Democrats are redoubling efforts to show how they’d help people cope with costs. On Thursday, the Commerce Department reported a key inflation gauge jumped 6.4% in February compared with a year ago, the largest year-over-year rise since January 1982.
But experts say the House bill would not help uninsured people, who face the highest out-of-pocket costs for insulin. Also, people with diabetes often take other medications as well as insulin. That’s done to treat the diabetes itself, along with other serious health conditions often associated with the disease. The House legislation would not help with those costs, either. Collins says she’s looking for a way to help uninsured people through her bill.
About 37 million Americans have diabetes, and an estimated 6 million to 7 million use insulin to keep their blood sugars under control. It’s an old drug, refined and improved over the years, that has seen relentless price increases.
Steep list prices don’t reflect the rates insurance plans negotiate with manufacturers. But those list prices are used to calculate cost-sharing amounts that patients owe. Patients who can’t afford their insulin reduce or skip doses, a strategy born of desperation, which can lead to serious complications and even death.
Economist Sherry Glied of New York University said the market for insulin is a “total disaster” for many patients, particularly those with skimpy insurance plans or no insurance.
“This will make private insurance for people with diabetes a much more attractive proposition,” said Glied. | https://whnt.com/news/politics/house-passes-35-a-month-insulin-cap/ | 2022-04-01T02:06:06Z |

Kolkata Knight Riders are expected to continue with their risk-taking approach despite mixed returns when they take on Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League at the Wankhede Stadium on Friday (April 1). KKR head into Friday’s game at the back of a three-wicket loss against RCB though managed to make the game close after a below-par total.
Punjab began their campaign with a win but they would expecting a better bowling effort after conceding more than 200 runs in their first game. South Africa speedster Kagiso Rabada is expected to play after completing his three-day quarantine and that will give a big boost to the Punjab attack.

Melbourne drug lord Tony Mokbel is rushed to hospital after suffering chest pains in his jail cell
- Drug kingpin Tony Mokbel rushed to hospital from prison suffering chest pains
- The 56-year-old is currently serving a 30-year sentence for drug trafficking
- Mokbel suffered heart attack and been stabbed during his stint behind bars
- Gangland identity is fighting his drug convictions following Lawyer X saga
- Criminal lawyer Nicola Gobbo was revealed as police informant in March 2019
- Mokbel given avenue of appeal after he claims convictions had been tainted
Jailed drug kingpin Tony Mokbel has been rushed to hospital from prison after suffering chest pains.
The 56-year-old, known as 'Fat Tony', was escorted from Barwon Prison, near Geelong in Melbourne's southeast, to the emergency room on Thursday night.
The once-feared figure of Melbourne's underworld is serving a minimum 22 year year sentence for large-scale drug trafficking but continues to fight for his freedom.
Jailed drug kingpin Tony Mokbel (pictured arriving at court in 2007) has been rushed to hospital after suffering chest pains
The drug kingpin has a history of cardiac issues and in 2012 suffered a heart attack behind bars and taken to the secure unit of St Vincents for treatment.
In 2019, the gangland identity was left clinging to life after he was bashed and stabbed with makeshift shivs in February 2019.
Mokbel in December is fighting to walk free from jail off the back of the Lawyer X scandal.
He continues to claim his convictions have been tainted by the notorious police informer and criminal lawyer Nicola Gobbo.
Just over a year ago he had a 12 year conviction quashed after it was revealed Gobbo, a criminal defence lawyer, was acting as a police informant.

Ambala, March 31
Congress workers staged a dharna against rising prices of fuel and cooking gas, at Sadar Bazaar Chowk in Ambala Cantonment here today. The workers garlanded cylinders and beat empty containers to mark their protest.
Addressing the gathering, Congress leader Ram Kishan Gujjar said the BJP Government had promised to the people to reduce the prices of petrol and diesel if voted to power, but they repeatedly jacked up the rates of these essential commodities. The BJP betrayed the voters, he added.
Mullana MLA Varun Chaudhry said the fuel prices were kept stable for 137 days during the elections, and just after the elections, they started increasing the prices continuously. The Modi government had been filling its treasury by defrauding the common man, the MLA added.
Haryana Pradesh Congress Committee treasurer Rohit Jain alleged that the government had been looting people and hiking the prices of essential commodities to benefit the corporate houses. —

COLUMBIA, SC (WSPA) – A panel of state lawmakers advanced a bill this week which would open the door for hunting on public land on Sundays.
The legislation would permit a person authorized to hunt on a wildlife management area (WMA) to hunt on a Sunday. Currently, Sunday hunting is only allowed on private land in South Carolina
Lawmakers said they would like to have the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (DNR) come up with rules and regulations for hunting on WMAs on Sunday.
“It’s good for the folks who can’t afford to join a hunting club, afford a hunting lease or afford to own property,” said John Culclasure with the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation.
A survey conducted by DNR last year showed the majority of people they spoke with across the state were in favor of expanding hunting.
Supporters said since the land is open to recreational activities on Sundays, hunting should be allowed.
“When it comes down to it, hunters are the ones paying into the system to wildlife management areas which are managed for hunting opportunities,” said Trevor Santos with the National Shooting Sports Foundation. “The fact they are the only type of users prohibited from using this land on Sundays speaks volumes.”
Critics of the possible change said they’re worried this would benefit mostly out of state hunters.
Representative Josiah Magnuson (R-District 38) said, “As a Christian I believe God established the principle of a day of rest at creation. That is implicit in scripture not only for people but for land and animals.”
An amended version of the bill has been sent to the House floor. | https://www.counton2.com/news/national-news/sc-lawmakers-consider-lifting-ban-on-sunday-hunting-on-public-land/ | 2022-04-01T02:06:08Z |
