Benefits and pensions are set to rise by 3.1 per cent from today (April 11), but the hike in inflation means people will still be worse off. State pensions have risen by £5.55 a week, while the basic Universal Credit rate has gone up by £10.07 a month. The rises have been worked out based on inflation back in September of 2021. It stood at 3.1 per cent at the time, but it has now hit more than 6 per cent while it's expected to peak at 8.7 per cent due to factors including the £693 rise in energy bills. This means a huge cut in the value of benefit payments. According to The Office for Budget Responsibility, there will be a £12 billion fall in the real value of benefits in 2022-23. READ MORE: 17 completely free things to do across Kent It will take up to 18 months for benefit and pension payments to catch up with inflation, the OBR said, and the triple lock measure that would have led to a state pension rise of 8% has been suspended, as ChronicleLive reports. When the new rates passed in Parliament only one Conservative MP, Peter Bottomley, voted against the below-inflation rise. Rebecca, a working parent on a low income, told Save the Children: “My income from benefits will rise by around £24.80 a month. But my bus fares have gone up by £13 a month - just for me - and food in the supermarket has increased by around £20 a week, not to mention gas and electricity prices. It’s not going to make a difference to my situation.” Dan Paskins, Director of UK Impact at the charity, added: "A 3.1% rise to benefits when inflation will peak at 8% just doesn’t add up for struggling families. They now face having to make up shortfalls of hundreds of pounds this year as a result of this real terms cut. "For many, energy price hikes alone will swallow up any extra income. In terms of meeting day to day costs, it won’t even touch the sides."

TAMPA, Fla. — The images Florida Pastor Joel Tooley captured during his visit to Poland recently take you there. For nine days, the Melbourne pastor was in Przemysl, a southeastern town in Poland at the edge of Ukraine, just 10 miles from the border. In that city, signs of fear and despair are meeting help and hope as desperate Ukrainians flee their war-torn country. “I describe this as a really wonderful experience and a completely horrible experience,” Tooley explained upon his return. As a member of the Church of Nazarene, Tooley, along with members of Nazarene Compassionate Ministries, are on the ground in Poland offering hot food, warm beds, and new starts to fleeing Ukrainians, most of them women and children. “You’d see a mother just focused on finding the next thing for her and her kids and she was determined and had this resolve and you would see others who had just lost all hope and despair. Then, there were those who just had no idea where they were going,” he described. Images and videos Tooley captured while on the ground show Ukrainians lugging around suitcases while making their way to the next train to freedom. Other shots show people waiting, wondering what’s next. In one picture, Tooley captured team members speaking to two Ukrainian sisters in their twenties who fled their homeland but had no place to go. According to Tooley, the volunteers connected the sisters with a church in the Netherlands where they are now safe. At one point, Tooley and his team came upon three teenage boys. “There were all 17-year-old and had traveled from Kyiv. They had no connections. Their parents sent them out of the country,” he said. The stories of children and teens fleeing Ukraine hits close to home for Tooley. He has spent several years working with unaccompanied migrant children who enter the United States without their parents in an attempt to find freedom and escape violence in their homelands south of the U.S. border. But as an ongoing immigration feud between the DeSantis and Biden Administrations thickens and threatens Florida’s future of welcoming unaccompanied migrant children here, Tooley said his trip to Poland serves as a reminder of the need to find immigration solutions here at home. “The greater resolve I left with was a greater determination to look at the solutions we need to make in our own country for people who are trying to cross our borders because their stories are not that different. In Ukraine, we can name the enemy Putin and the Russian regime. In some countries, we can’t name the enemy but the suffering is the same and the oppression is the same,” he said. “It gave me greater resolve to continue speaking out,” said Tooley.

Tina Morales worked at the headquarters of the troubled Center for COVID Control in Rolling Meadows, Illinois. "I was a shift supervisor," she said. "There was a lot that I was doubting just from my very first day." It was her job to record patient information for COVID-19 tests coming in from the company's 300 pop-up sites nationwide. As the omicron variant hit, Morales says the data she was told to put in the system was not always accurate. Washington's attorney general says the result was the company overbilling a federal fund for the uninsured. NEWSY'S PATRICK TERPSTRA: No one ever said, "This is the government's money. We have to be really careful and make sure all of this is accurate?" TINA MORALES: In the beginning, yes, like when I first started. But it just became really overwhelming. Doctors Clinical Laboratory processed tests from the Center for COVID Control. Federal records show the lab received over $152 million in reimbursements. All of it, money approved by Congress to cover COVID tests — only for Americans without health insurance. Providers must confirm a "patient is uninsured" before requesting reimbursement, up to $100 per test. But in a statement filed as part of a lawsuit brought by Washington state's attorney general, Morales says a manager told her to stop entering insurance information into the data entry system. "As we started getting backed up with the tests, we were instructed to stop inputting information that we were originally inputting before," she said. Her declaration says, "The data entry for all incoming patients began to reflect that every patient was uninsured... And that CCC (Center for COVID Control) would submit claims for reimbursement to the federal government." Morales says they got so overwhelmed that some of the tests expired, allegedly piled, unrefrigerated, in trash bags. She says her team complied with instructions from a manager to "falsely date late test samples" so they could still be processed by the lab. Everybody in that entire building knew that any test that was over 72 hours old, there's no rNA to test. It would come back as inconclusive either way. Aleya Siyaj runs the Center for COVID Control, allegedly with her husband, Akbar Ali Syed. Another statement filed in court by a second ex-employee says Syed would encourage staff to test their friends and family "even when they didn't need to get tested so that CCC (Center for COVID Control) could get reimbursed" by the government. A statement from attorneys for the Center for COVID Control said the allegations are based "largely on inaccurate testimony from unreliable witnesses," and that the Center for COVID Control "was committed to delivering resources to patients in an accurate and compliant manner." Newsy doesn't know whether reimbursements were awarded improperly. The Health Resources and Services Administration doles out the funds. A spokesman says the agency "takes corrective action against providers who are out of compliance with the terms and conditions of the uninsured program ... Including 'recovery of funds, and providing information to law enforcement when appropriate.'" Newsy found the Center for COVID Control and Doctors Clinical Laboratory next door, emptied out. It was abruptly shut down after the launch of multiple investigations into widespread reports of wrongdoing. Newsy is the nation’s only free 24/7 national news network.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — You know what they say about history repeating itself. For one man, that rang true after a DNA test he took a couple of years ago led him to his biological father. And then, a couple years later, led to his own daughter finding him! It’s the story for Rod Hobbs Sr. and his quest to find more about his roots. Little did he know, those roots had grown into a tree that bore more fruit. “I logged into my 23andMe, and up pops a new connection: 'Your daughter, Elizabeth',” said Rod Hobbs Sr. “And there was no question about it.” “It was definitely the best scenario that could ever happen,” said his daughter, Elizabeth Bestow. As they say, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree - and these two ended up having more in common than just their DNA. “What are the odds he's gone through the same exact scenario?" said Bestow. “You know?” You see, just 2.5 years ago, Hobbs didn’t know who his biological father was, either. “Over 30 years, I was searching for my father because I never had a name or had a clue who he was,” he said. When he was 15 years old, Hobbs found out the man he thought was his father wasn’t actually wasn't his father. So, he hired private detectives and even took a DNA test that was uploaded to all the major online companies. He got a hit, connecting him with a cousin, who then connected him to his dad. “That changed my life 2.5 years ago,” said Hobbs. And like history repeating itself, his life now changing again, welcoming a daughter he didn’t know he had. “To find out like, 'Oh, my God - this is real,' it's... it was a lot. It was a lot, but incredibly exciting,” said Hobbs. “And... and then, too, after meeting and then seeing how beautiful and bright and ambitious and she's amazing.” Like father, like daughter, Bestow wanted to know where she came from and took a DNA test. That test matched her with Hobbs, and like any other teenager, she took to social media to hunt him down, finding a brother along the way. “It's pretty cool. I've always wanted a sibling my age. My other siblings are around like eight years, six years older than me,” said Rod Hobbs Jr. “And you didn't even have siblings, so it's really cool for me.” Exchanging numbers, they set up a meeting in Virginia. The exciting reunion coming after a lifetime of waiting. “I wanted this my whole life,” said Bestow. “I never pictured meeting him or getting to know him, let alone actually like seeing him being with him and knowing that he wants a relationship with me.” From riding one-wheelers, to spa days, to looking at old picture albums, they have had a crash course in getting to know each other. “The families just exploded,” said Hobbs Jr. “It truly did.” We wanted to know what happens next, so we asked. The family tells us Hobbs Sr. has a birthday coming up in June, so Bestow will be flying back for it - and she'll also get to meet all of her other new family members she still hasn’t met yet. This story was first reported by Pari Cruz at WTKR in Virginia Beach, Va.

RIO GRANDE CITY, Tex. — A district attorney in Texas has filed a motion to dismiss a murder charge from a woman who performed a “self-induced abortion.” The office of Gocha Allen Ramirez said, “it is clear that Ms. Herrera cannot and should not be prosecuted for the allegation against her.” Ramirez went on to say, “based on Texas law and the facts presented, it is not a criminal matter.” The Starr County Sheriff’s Office in South Texas arrested 26-year-old Lizelle Herrera last week after a hospital reported her in January. An indictment signed in late March said that Herrera caused “the death of an individual J.A.H. by a self-induced abortion.” Herrera was held in custody on a $500,000 bond. She was released from custody after an abortion rights advocacy group posted bail on her behalf. It is not clear under what law Herrera was charged, but University of Texas law professor Stephen Vladeck noted that state law exempts the mother from murder of her unborn child.

Prince William County is asking for $50 million from the U.S. Department of Transportation to help fund new interchanges along U.S. 1 and at Prince William Parkway and Minnieville Road. The first application, approved by the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority on March 29, asks for $25 million to help with the construction of two new interchanges at Route 123 and U.S. 1, as well as Route 123 and Old Bridge Road. The two intersections are part of a broader Virginia Department of Transportation STARS study that’s expected to wrap up later this year and also includes the intersection at 123 and Interstate 95, though the county has already secured $69 million for that interchange. At U.S. 1, the county is looking to build a new four-lane overpass that will carry Route 123 over U.S. 1 in Woodbridge, replacing the current at-grade traffic signal layout that planners say creates regular bottlenecks. The county already submitted a request for $61.2 million for the project from the NVTA’s 2022-2027 Six-Year Program, but the authority’s funding program typically only funds a fraction of the requests it receives. The authority will announce selected projects later this summer, and the county expects the new interchange – which was a part of the North Woodbridge Small Area Plan that was adopted in 2019 – to cost about $68 million. “The Route 123 Corridor Improvements project is a comprehensive approach to reducing congestion and improving safety and operations on the Route 123 corridor through coordinated planning and designing of improvements at the intersections,” county transportation staff wrote in their report on the grant request. “The project was based on the results of a STARS study to identify innovative, cost-effective improvements at the two intersections and interchange that will work holistically to improve operations in the Route 123 corridor.” At Old Bridge Road, the county is going with a new “outside-outside flyover” design near Occoquan that would carry cars from the northbound lanes of Route 123 to the westbound lanes of Old Bridge in an attempt to eliminate congestion at another frequent bottleneck. The project was already approved for as much as $15 million from the county’s 2019 transportation bond referendum, but the expected cost is estimated to be around $54 million. The county is also seeking another $25 million from the Department of Transportation for a “single-point urban interchange” at Prince William Parkway and Minnieville Road that would grade-separate the two roads with the parkway going underground. The interchange was included in the 2019 Dale City Small Area Plan. “Prince William Parkway is a primary route, it carries a lot of our commuters … so our intent is to improve free-flow at Prince William Parkway, as well as improving operations generally at that location,” County Planning Manager Paolo Belita told InsideNoVa. “It’s also right in the heart of Dale City … so it’s really a very important project for the county.” Both applications are through the transportation department’s Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity – or RAISE – grant. This year, the department has about $500 million more to give out in RAISE grants than last year thanks to the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act that Congress passed in 2021. In 2021, the department said, for every $10 requested in grant funding, only $1 was available. Under Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, the government has some new criteria for discretionary grants. In its guidance, the department has encouraged applicants to consider how their projects can address climate change, which lends itself to projects with a more multimodal focus on transit, pedestrian and bicycle access. Among the other applications coming out of Northern Virginia, Arlington County is asking for funds to build a pedestrian and bike trail on the west side of Route 10, and Loudoun County is asking for money to improve a series of W&OD Trail crossings. Applications can also be judged on freight mobility. “Projects will be evaluated on statutory criteria of safety, environmental sustainability, quality of life, economic competitiveness and opportunity, state of good repair, partnership and innovation,” the Department of Transportation said in a press release. “New this year … 2022 Raise applications will also be evaluated on the criteria of mobility and community connectivity. The Department will assess projects for universal design and accessibility for travelers, as well as consider how proposals increase mobility for freight and supply chain efficiency.”

BALTIMORE (CBS)— Gov. Larry Hogan used his social media account to draw attention to Maryland’s stance on the war in Ukraine on Sunday. He announced on Twitter that he, as commander in chief of the Maryland National Guard, would continue to stand with America’s allies, which include the citizens of Ukraine, Estonia, Bosnia, and Herzegovina. Hogan has publicly shown support and empathy for the plight of the Ukrainians since Russia invaded the country and began bombing it on Feb. 24. Since then, he has taken many steps to break ties with Russia. Only a few days after the war began, Hogan quickly severed Maryland’s formal and financial ties to Russia in order to apply economic pressure on Moscow. Then he terminated Maryland’s sister-state relationship with the Leningrad Oblast—a region of Northwest Russia. “It’s a symbol that the people of Maryland are united with the people of America and the world, standing up against Russia and standing with the people of Ukraine,” Hogan said days later during an appearance on CNN’s “New Day.” He said his actions were in line with actions that countries around the world are taking—whether it’s closing their airspace to Russian aircraft or pouring Russian vodka down the drain the world is reacting to Russia’s aggression and Maryland’s reaction is welcome and needed. Hogan said he even went so far as to get rid of his Russian vodka. Additionally, the governor led a solidarity vigil for Ukraine in Silver Spring on Ash Wednesday. “The State of Maryland continues to stand in solidarity with President Zelensky and the people of Ukraine,” Hogan said of the late March donation. “We are proud to make this donation to help save lives and aid the Ukrainians in the fight against Russian aggression.”

Former Australian cricketer and current Chennai Super Kings (CSK) batting coach Michael Hussey has indicated that every member of the four-time IPL champions was behind new captain Ravindra Jadeja despite the string of early losses, adding that the team was looking at a couple of wins, which would help the all-rounder "feel more relaxed as captain". The defending champions have lost all their four matches in the current edition of the tournament and are placed 10th and last on the points table, with critics blaming the poor run to a change in captaincy. Hussey conceded that making Jadeja skipper was a huge change and everyone was supporting him as he tries to emerge a strong leader of the side. "Yeah, it (making Jadeja skipper) is a big change. Obviously, M S Dhoni was the captain for such a long period of time and he has done an amazing job. But the great thing is that he is still here to help Jadeja along the way in his first year as captain. So, I know that Jadeja and MSD are talking almost every day about captaincy, about tactics and how leadership works along with Stephen Fleming the coach, and to try and make the transition as smooth as possible. "Everyone respects Jadeja very highly and we are coming to terms with a new captain and how Jadeja likes to go about it. But, so far so good, he is doing a very good job, and I am just hoping we can get a few wins on the board very soon to help Jadeja feel more relaxed as captain. Everyone is supporting Jadeja and we are hoping for some victories very soon," said Hussey. Given the team's current scenario, Hussey felt the best way to tackle the tough situations as a batter was to just concentrate on the ball while not worrying about anything else, and also "work with your partner at the other end". "The important thing is I guess is to work with your partner at the other end. There is two versus 11 out there, two in the middle batting against 11 people and you try and win the contest. It is one ball versus one bat. And, you try to win one ball at a time. So, if you start worrying about what the pitch is doing, or what the score is, or worrying about getting out, then you are concentrating on the wrong things. All you need to do is, try and concentrate on that ball coming down, and see every single ball as a contest, and you try and win that contest and move on to the next contest and it is amazing if you can keep winning those little contests and breaking it down into small parts, you can slowly start getting on top," opined Hussey. "But I still think it is important to work with your partner at the other end. Keep talking positively to each other, keep running hard between the wickets; keep doing the basic things very well and that is how you try and win those little tough pressure contests," added Hussey.

Delhi Capitals' left-arm spinner spinner Kuldeep Yadav feels bowling has been the side's strong suit this season, adding that the pace department is doing a good job of keeping the pressure on the opposition during the powerplays. Capitals defeated Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by 44 runs on Sunday to register their second win of the season. "Our bowling performance has been our biggest positive this season," Kuldeep said in a media release. "When we were bowling against Mumbai Indians in our first match, it looked like they were going to score over 200 at one point, but we restricted them to a total of 177/5. "The fast bowlers have been bowling really well. They kept the pressure on the opposition in the powerplay against KKR, which allowed us to bowl freely later on," he added. Kuldeep, who was adjudged the player-of-the-match for returning figures of 4/35, also spoke about his fantastic running catch to dismiss Umesh Yadav off his own bowling. "I knew that only I could go for that catch. The ball was quite far away from everyone else. I kept my eye on the ball throughout while running for the catch and managed to reach for the ball in the end. The catch felt really good." Capitals have a five-day break before their next match. "These two points were really important for us. The morale in the team will be high as we prepare to play for our next game on Saturday. This win will ensure that there is positive energy in the camp during our five-day break."

R Ashwin is always ready to explore the rules of the game to their full extent. The Indian spinner on Sunday used a new mode of legal dismissal, getting 'retired out' in Rajasthan Royals' IPL 2022 match against Lucknow Super Giants at the Wankhede Stadium here on Sunday. He became the first batter to get 'retired out' in IPL history. Ashwin, who has ran out the non-striker for backing too far -- a previous mode of dismissal called 'Mankading' – used the rule that allows a batter to end his innings on his own without the intervention of the opposition bowlers. It was a well-thought-out tactical move by Royals that a batter will walk off the ground in the penultimate over so that a better finisher can come in and tonk the ball a few times to boost their score. Whether it was a plan for this match and it was agreed to was not clear but Ashwin, after pushing Avesh Khan to cover for a single, kept running after completing the run and stopped only after reaching the dressing room. The fact that Riyan Parag walked out to bat straight away means the team was expecting such a move by Ashwin. His batting partner at that time, Shimron Hetmyer strucfk Khan for sixes off successive deliveries and Parag too hit a big six before getting out, going for another big one off the penultimate delivery of the match. Hetmyer said he had no idea that Ashwin would take strategic retirement in the match. "I had no idea about this, it was a really good decision that came off well." Former West Indies great Ian Bishop called it a "fascinating T20 tactic", ex-England captain Michael Vaughan loved it, and former Australia woman cricketer Lisa Sthalekar said it makes good sense to get out in such a manner. "Ashwin retired out is fascinating T20 tactics. T20 is causing us to rethink the way we conceive the game of the 21st century," Bishop tweeted. Former England captain Michael Vaughan tweeted that he "loved it" while former Australian woman cricketer and commentator Lisa Sthalekar said the move "makes a lot of sense". "Retired OUT….it was only a matter of time we saw it in the #IPL2022 Makes a lot of sense," said Sthalekar. How much this move helped Rajasthan Royals is debatable as Parag scored eight off four deliveries and Royals managed a 165/6 in 20 overs, recovering from 67/4 at one time. Ashwin has highlighted a new tactical move to IPL teams as they can have a batter 'retired out' to send someone else to give the score a quick boost.

Mumbai: Images of a mystery girl seen in the Brabourne Stadium gallery watching Delhi Capitals' match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have gone viral after she caught the attention of the camera crew, even as DC's Kuldeep Yadav was taking a superb catch off his own bowling to dismiss Umesh Yadav on Sunday evening. While it was not initially known who the girl -- dressed in a white top -- was, it was later revealed that she was Aarti Bedi, an actor by profession and a dancer. Later in the day, she also reportedly posted three stories on her Insta handle where she could be seen showing her support for the Shreyas Iyer-led KKR. She has also reportedly featured in advertisements for renowned brands. Netizens kept asking the camera crew to shift the attention from the girl to the action taking place on the field. "Camera wale bhai sahib, thoda inn madam se focus hata kar match bhi dikha do (Please focus on the match)," wrote a fan on Instagram, while another said, "Ek aur crush (one more crush). Love you camera men."

Gqeberha (South Africa): South African spinners Keshav Maharaj and Simon Harmer took all 10 wickets between them as the hosts crushed dismal Bangladesh by 332 runs to claim the series 2-0 following the completion of the second Test at St George’s Park on Monday. Bangladesh resumed on the fourth morning at 27/3 chasing a venue record 413 but seemed to already have their minds on the flight home as poor shot selections allowed South Africa to skittle them out for 80 in their second innings. Maharaj took 7/40 and Harmer 3/34 on a wicket that provided prodigious turn but were not unfamiliar conditions for sub-continent side Bangladesh, who will be desperately disappointed with their application. South Africa won the first Test in Durban by 220 runs, where they bowled Bangladesh out for 53 in their second innings. South Africa started the day with two substitutes in their side after opening batsman Sarel Erwee and all-rounder Wiaan Mulder tested positive for COVID-19 overnight. The International Cricket Council allows for players to be replaced in the line-up under such conditions and Khaya Zondo was therefore handed his Test debut, which lasted all of an hour, while seamer Glenton Stuurman came in for Mulder. Both teams agreed the tour would not be played in a bio-secure environment to allow players more freedom away from the pitch. The two were required as fielders only as South Africa made light work of dismissing the tourists, though Bangladesh were their own worst enemies as they tried to hit themselves out of trouble with disastrous results. Only Litton Das (27) provided any sort of resistance, though he was stumped by wicketkeeper Kyle Verreynne as he advanced down the wicket against Maharaj. Depleted South Africa will be especially pleased with the series win as six of their first team regulars chose to play in the Indian Premier League and were not available.

POTSDAM, N.Y. (WWTI) — The State University at Potsdam announced that they will be relaxing their masking requirements for indoor academic instruction. Starting on April 11 masks will be optional in classrooms, labs, and studios on campus. According to the university, the decision to ease restrictions comes after receiving input from the community and local health partners. However, masks will still be required on public transportation and in some healthcare settings including student health services, the college’s counseling center, the community testing site, and the bear shuttle. The college also encouraged those with approved exemptions or who are eligible for boosters to continue to wear masks while indoors. Additionally, the university stated that some classes may be asked to continue masking to help protect a participant with a documented underlying condition. For this reason, individuals on campus should have a mask with them at all times. The university also reminded students and faculty that anyone who is within six to ten days of recovering from testing positive for COVID or who has symptoms is still required to continue to be masked around others. A printable sign is available for individuals to post on their door to request that guests wear a mask. The college stated that they will continue to monitor the data and will update the policy if needed.

RIO GRANDE CITY, Tex. — A district attorney in Texas has filed a motion to dismiss a murder charge from a woman who performed a “self-induced abortion.” The office of Gocha Allen Ramirez said, “it is clear that Ms. Herrera cannot and should not be prosecuted for the allegation against her.” Ramirez went on to say, “based on Texas law and the facts presented, it is not a criminal matter.” The Starr County Sheriff’s Office in South Texas arrested 26-year-old Lizelle Herrera last week after a hospital reported her in January. An indictment signed in late March said that Herrera caused “the death of an individual J.A.H. by a self-induced abortion.” Herrera was held in custody on a $500,000 bond. She was released from custody after an abortion rights advocacy group posted bail on her behalf. It is not clear under what law Herrera was charged, but University of Texas law professor Stephen Vladeck noted that state law exempts the mother from murder of her unborn child.

Airbnbs and similar short-term, peer-to-peer home-sharing and vacation rental platforms like Vrbo offer guests amenities that traditional hotels often don’t, including living spaces, full kitchens, decked-out outdoor patios and even private hot tubs. The unique stay options like treehouses, yurts, tiny houses and more plus the wide availability of rentals (Airbnb operates in over 100,000 cities across 220 countries worldwide) make these alternatives an attractive choice, especially for families, groups of friends and people traveling with pets. But while Airbnb and Vrbo stays offer perks galore, could guests be sacrificing privacy? Marcus Hutchins, who posts to TikTok under the handle @malwaretech, is a self-identified ex-hacker who now educates others on cybersecurity. He posts videos on issues ranging from what to know when using public Wi-Fi (shown below) to investigating common phishing scams, but his video about secret cameras in Airbnbs tapped into an anxiety that already existed for many travelers: paranoia about being watched. @malwaretech Reply to @oliviaaa_gh ⬠original sound – Marcus Hutchins According to a survey conducted by financial services company IPX 1031, 58% of Airbnb users report being concerned that property owners may have hidden cameras within their Airbnb. Per Airbnb’s own privacy rules, security measures like cameras and noise monitoring devices are allowed on Airbnb rental properties as long as they are clearly disclosed in the listing description and don’t infringe on another person’s privacy. For example, a security camera that hosts have explicitly informed guests about may be used in a common space like a living room or kitchen. They may not be used in places where there should be a reasonable expectation of privacy, such as bedrooms and bathrooms. While you can rest easy knowing that secret recording devices are prohibited by Airbnb — and could lead to hosts getting banned from the platform — it’s worth the extra peace of mind to do a quick walkthrough of your rental using Hutchins’ tips: @malwaretech Reply to @safarijackza How to find hidden cameras in AirBnBs #safety #travel “Take this fire alarm, for instance, it’s placed right above the bed,” said Hutchins in the video. “Now one way to see if a device is a camera is to shine a bright light at it. If you hit a camera lens it’s going to get a blue-ish reflection.” Other common hidden camera culprits shown in the video include alarm clocks and USB charging bricks. For those looking for added security, Hutchins posted a video on portable locks and motion sensors you can pack and bring along on your travels: @malwaretech Reply to @malwaretech Part 2: Hotel and AirBnB safety (portable door locks and camera) #security #safety #technology #travel ⬠original sound – Marcus Hutchins The Washington Post compiled an article aimed at travelers to help them stay safe away from home. In it, they recommend scanning the Wi-Fi network for suspicious devices (or even turning the WiFi off altogether, if possible) and practicing situational awareness: pay attention to anything that feels “off” (such as two smoke detectors or an alarm but no alarm pad) and stay in an Airbnb with plenty of reviews. Also, do a “common sense” walkthrough when you arrive at your accommodations. Traveling with these tips in mind will keep anxiety at bay so you can focus on the whole point of renting an Airbnb: taking a well-deserved vacation. This story originally appeared on Simplemost.

China's manufacturing hub Guangzhou closes to arrivals due to COVID-19 cases Guangzhou, a major manufacturing city in China, has closed itself off to arrivals amidst a surge in COVID-19 cases in the country's big eastern cities, the Associated Press reported on Monday. Driving the news: Guangzhou has not been put under a lockdown like the one in Shanghai, where many citizens are confined to their homes, but it is a major city with top companies and China's busiest airport, per AP. - 26,087 cases were announced in Shanghai on Monday, but only 914 of those new cases showed symptoms, per AP. - Only 27 cases were reported in Guangzhou on Monday. The big picture: China's "zero-COVID" policy calls for extreme lockdowns in the face of any COVID surges. This has led to food shortages, disruptions in medical care and censorship, according to Axios' Bethany Allen-Ebrahimian. Details: Many schools have switched to online learning in the Guangzhou area after 23 people tested positive at schools last week. - Only citizens with a "definitive need" to leave Guangzhou can do so, per AP. - Soccer team Shanghai Port will now have to withdraw from the Asian Champions League due to the restrictions. What they're saying: Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian defended the virus controls on Sunday and said that they have “proven to be effective and in line with its national conditions and needs, and have made an important contribution to the global fight against the epidemic.”

2 senators want the FDA to relax hearing aid rules A pair of senators is prodding the FDA to issue a final rule to allow a new category of hearing aids to be sold over the counter without a medical exam or audiologist fitting. Why it matters: The change could give some of the estimated 38 million Americans with hearing loss more affordable choices and allow consumer electronics companies to enter the market. Driving the news: Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) introduced legislation Friday to order a timetable for a final rule. - The agency last October began outlining technical requirements for OTC hearing aids but it offers no timeline for when consumers could see them hit the market. Context: Congress asked the agency in 2017 to explore broadened access by August 2020, but the agency missed the deadline due to the pandemic. - Hearing aids cost thousands of dollars. Insurance coverage is limited and Medicare won't cover them. The stigma of hearing loss has also prevented millions from using them. - Congressional Democrats proposed expanding Medicare coverage to hearing services at a cost of $35 billion over a decade as part of the sweeping social spending bill that stalled in the Senate.

Thoma Bravo buying back SailPoint for $6.9 billion Thoma Bravo agreed to buy Austin, Texas-based enterprise cybersecurity firm SailPoint Technologies (NYSE: SAIL) for $6.9 billion. The deal includes a 35-day go-shop provision, and works out to $65.25 per share (31.6% premium to Friday's close). Why it matters: Private equity is entering a new normal on debt financing, preferring private credit over bank loans that may struggle to get syndicated due to geopolitical instability. - For Thoma Bravo, that means tapping the same lenders that it used for the recent $10.7 billion Anaplan buyout: Golub Capital, Blackstone Credit and Owl Rock. History: Thoma Bravo previously bought SailPoint from venture capital funds in 2014 for an undisclosed amount, and then took it public in 2017 at $12 per share. The bottom line: The massive price appreciation is chalked up to SailPoint converting much of its business from on-premise to SaaS, plus increased CISO focus on identity governance. A source says that Thoma Bravo's plan is to finish the SaaS conversion, and to help SailPoint become a consolidator of the broader identity access management market.

Buffalo officers who pushed 75-year-old activist to ground cleared of wrongdoing Two Buffalo, NY police officers have been cleared of wrongdoing for shoving a 75-year-old man to the ground during a June 2020 protest. Footage showed officers Aaron Torgalski and Robert McCabe shoving 75-year-old activist Martin Gugino to the ground as they were clearing out space in front of the local city hall. The clip soon spread across the nation amid George Floyd protests as an apparent example of police abusing use-of-force. Torgalski and McCabe were suspended and charged with second-degree assault at the time, charges that were dropped following a grand jury inquiry. An arbitrator has now cleared four departmental charges against the two men. "Upon review, there is no evidence to sustain any claim that respondents (police officers) had any other viable options other than to move Gugino out of the way of their forward movement," wrote arbitrator Jeffrey Selchick, according to the Buffalo News. Footage show Gugino motionless on the ground following the incident as a pool of blood grew beneath his head. It would be weeks before he recovered from the incident, and he sued the city soon afterward. Gugino's lawsuit is unaffected by the arbitrator's Friday ruling, according to Melissa Wischerath, an attorney representing Gugino "We are not aware of any case where this arbitrator has ruled against on-duty police officers, so his ruling here on behalf of the police was not only expected by us, but was certainly expected by the union and city who selected and paid him," Wischerath told Buffalo News. Both Torgalski and McCabe returned to regular duty on Monday. Advertisement

Bulls beat Wolves 124-120 behind Patrick Williams' 35 points MINNEAPOLIS - Patrick Williams scored a career-high 35 points and Ayo Dosunmu had 26 points in a season-high 45 minutes as the Chicago Bulls hung on for a 124-120 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday night with both teams in rest-the-regulars mode in preparation for the postseason. Troy Brown Jr. added 17 points and 11 rebounds for the Bulls, who played without four starters and stopped a four-game losing streak. They nearly blew a 28-point second quarter lead after a spirited rally by the deep reserves for the Timberwolves, who didn’t use any starters in the second half. The Bulls already had the No. 6 seed in the Eastern Conference bracket secured. They’ll face No. 3 seed Milwaukee in the first round, thanks to their concerning slide down the stretch. Chicago, which has returned to the playoffs after a four-year absence, shared the East’s best record with Miami at the All-Star break. "We have to maintain a high level of competitive fight. They’re champions for a reason," coach Billy Donovan said. "They’re battle-tested." The Wolves, who were locked into seventh place in the Western Conference earlier in the week, will host the Los Angeles Clippers in a play-in game Tuesday night. "It’s a good first step. This needs to be the foundation of what we’re trying to build, and regardless of what happens from here, we’ve got a lot of things that we’ve learned," coach Chris Finch said. Nathan Knight had 17 points and eight rebounds and Jaylen Nowell added 15 points for the Wolves, who outscored the Bulls 40-27 in the third quarter and pulled within 116-115 on a contested corner 3-pointer by little-used fan favorite Jake Layman with 1:42 to go. Dosunmu, the only starter who played for the Bulls, dropped in a layup on the other end. The rookie from Illinois hit a 3-pointer on the next possession. Williams, the fourth overall pick in the 2020 draft who missed 65 games earlier this season after tearing ligaments in his wrist and needing surgery, went 10 for 21 from the floor. Even when the stars are back, the Bulls need Williams to find his spots to score for them to upset the Bucks. "I was running a lot of things at him tonight to try to get him to be like that," Donovan said. "He took it upon himself to do the things that he did, even randomly." MISSING MEN The Bulls had only 10 available players, with four starters sidelined. DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic had the night off, Zach LaVine was shelved to give his nagging knee discomfort an extra break, and Coby White was out with a sprained toe. The Bulls have also been without point guard Lonzo Ball for the last three months with a knee injury that won’t let him return for the playoffs. The Timberwolves rested All-Star Karl-Anthony Towns and point guard D’Angelo Russell, who was officially listed with an illness but watched from the bench in a striped turtleneck. The third member of their star trio, Anthony Edwards, scored eight points in 18 minutes and didn’t play in the second half. Neither did starter Jarred Vanderbilt. "I’m real confident and real excited for what’s next for us," Knight said. THAT’S ONE WAY TO DO IT Timberwolves firebrand Patrick Beverley joined Towns and Russell on the rest list after his ejection in the second quarter for drawing technical fouls 15 seconds apart. The trigger for Beverley was the absence of a foul call he argued for on a short jumper, and he aimed his complaining at referee David Guthrie. As Beverley jogged off the court, he gave referee Michael Smith a pat on the back. ALWAYS COACHING Despite a 23-point halftime lead for the Bulls, coach Billy Donovan called two timeouts in the first two minutes of the third quarter. During the first one, he admonished Dosunmu for not taking better control of a disorganized offensive set. FOR THE RECORD The Bulls, who went 7-14 over the last 21 games, finished 46-36 for their best mark since 50-32 in 2014-15. That was also the last time they swept the two-game season series from the Wolves. The Timberwolves finished with six losses in their last 10 games and landed at 46-36, their second-best record of the last 18 years. They were 47-35 in 2017-18, the only time they’ve made the playoffs since reaching the 2004 Western Conference finals. TIP-INS Bulls: Backup guard Alex Caruso (bruised lower back) sat out for the third straight game. Donovan said he’s not in danger of missing time in the playoffs. Timberwolves: Backup center Greg Monroe, signed three days ago for some extra depth and experience in the post for the playoffs, had nine points and five assists in 18 minutes. UP NEXT Bulls: The series against the defending NBA champion Bucks will begin in Milwaukee next weekend. The Bulls went 1-14 against the top four teams in the Eastern Conference this season, including 0-4 against the Bucks. They lost by four, six, 28 and 21 points in those matchups. Advertisement Timberwolves: If they beat the Clippers, they’ll be the West’s No. 7 seed and face Memphis in the first round starting next weekend. If the Wolves lose Tuesday, they’ll stay home and play the San Antonio-New Orleans winner on Friday for the No. 8 seed.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) – The Dorothy Pecaut Nature Center got a little “wild” this weekend. Over the weekend, the center held a presentation with the group “Loess Hills Wild Ones.” The presentation featured information about the unique ecology in the Loess Hills. Rod Tondreau is a biology instructor at Western Iowa Tech, and he spoke about the formation of the hills and how the native plants and wildflowers thrive in the prairies. “A few places in the world where these special landforms exist is here, in western Iowa, and to be able to learn how to coexist with those Loess Hills, the special plants and animals that reside on them, and how we think about construction and going about our daily lives,” said Dawn Snyder. The group will meet again on May 7 at Fowler Forrest Preserve near Smithland for a wildflower walk.

Safaricom Youth Orchestra auditioning for 2022-23 class Saturday April 09 2022 The Safaricom Youth Orchestra is this week auditioning for the May 2022/23 class, as the programme graduated its eighth cohort, a class of 18 orchestral musicians ranging from saxophone, flute, trumpet and violin musicians. At a ceremony held this past week at the Jain Bhavan Centre in Loresho, Nairobi, the young musicians drawn from across Kenya, were awarded certificates in orchestral music. This year’s theme of ''Paying it Forward'' calls on the graduands to make a difference in the world through acts of kindness, such as volunteering their skills in community programmes and places or mentoring others on the same musical path. This is the first in-person graduation ceremony since the disruptions brought on by the pandemic forced the 2020 and 2021 graduations to be held virtually, and Safaricom facilitated virtual rehearsals for the over 100 members of the orchestra. Sammy Kiama, who graduated this week said of the programme; “I do not take this opportunity to join the orchestra for granted. We have received excellent education that will carry us through life. I am also grateful to my parents for encouraging me and supporting my dream to pursue my passion for music.” Resilience “I am honoured to celebrate the great milestones that the Safaricom Youth Orchestra have achieved this year. The members have been resilient and made great strides in fulfilling their musical dreams and have continued to excel in their endeavours,” said Joseph Ogutu, the Safaricom PLC Chief of Special Projects. The orchestra’s year is divided into three terms, May to July, August-December and January-March, aligned to Kenya’s academic year when students have completed their high school education and can focus on post-high school extracurricular activity. The 2021-2022 class had eight girls and eleven boys, drawn from across Kenya.

BOISE, Idaho — An Idaho Medical expert is urging Idahoans to avoid becoming complacent with COVID-19 mitigation efforts. The latest battle against the virus is subvariant B.A.2, derived from the Omicron variant. B.A.2 is now the dominant strain in the United States and over 60 other countries. “Some of these foreign countries have had very big surges, Canada is ahead of us, they're starting to have their surge already,” said Dr. David Pate, former CEO of St. Luke’s Health System. “We will have to see what happens here, this B.A.2 now is dominant, it is the predominant strain all across the United States, particularly so on the two coasts and particulars up north.” According to the Idaho Department of Health and Welfares website, 4,171 Idahoans have tested positive for Omicron, including subvariants like B.A.2. According to Dr. Pate, it's too soon to say that the new subvariant is more or less severe than the previous ones. He added, that it is currently the dominant strain in Idaho and that it's more contagious than the original Omicron. “Each variant has gotten more contagious and that's what we have to worry about,” Dr. Pate said. “Omicron overall was the first one to cause less severe disease.” Dr. Pate said that current vaccines are holding up well against the new subvariant. He says those who are not vaccinated are at high risk of catching B.A.2 and should consider getting vaccinated. “It could cause lots of cases, lots of infections, and given that our vaccination rate isn't great, yes, we could certainly see a lot of hospitalizations, even a lot of deaths, I don't think anything is going to put us back into lockdown,” Dr. Pate said. According to Dr. Pate, it is impossible to say whether or not B.A.2 will impact Idaho as it has in other states. “You may recall Alpha, way back to Alpha, Washington and Oregon had a big surge with Alpha, we didn't in Idaho, I have no idea why we didn't, but this virus is not totally predictable.” Dr. Pate said.

SEATTLE — AAA Washington announced findings from new research this week as Distracted Driving Awareness Month kicks off. It's been three years since AAA launched a campaign to raise awareness around the dangers of distracted driving. The data revealed more and more Washingtonians are choosing to put down their phones while driving and that children and passengers are the primary motivators for driving distraction-free. GMA Research conducted the statewide survey in November of 2021, gathering data from 1,000 Washington residents, ages 16 and older. Participants were screened to be residents, age 16 and older, have a valid driver's license and drive at least 10 miles per week on average. According to AAA, about half of all drivers surveyed said they would be most influenced against using a phone or device while behind the wheel if a child or passenger spoke up and asked them to stop, 51% and 49% respectively. The survey also showed that the mere presence of a passenger under age 18 prevents distracted driving behaviors, including legal interactions. Distracted drivers are involved in at least a quarter of fatal crashes in Washington State, according to AAA. The latest data from the Washington State Department of Transportation, there were 18,529 car crashes related to distracted driving and 92 of them were fatal. To keep raising awareness of the issue, AAA launched a new video message, encouraging people to “Speak Up” during Distracted Driving Awareness Month. “Three years ago, AAA launched a campaign bringing attention to distracted driving, showing how the consequences of texting and driving are similar to drinking and driving, deaths and serious injuries,” said Kelly Just, AAA Washington’s traffic safety program manager. “In this new research, we see our public awareness campaign is working. More and more of us are choosing to put down our phones while driving, currently 82% of Washington drivers. That’s up from 69% in AAA’s 2018 distracted driving survey.” To view the full results of the AAA Washington distracted driving study, click here. Washington’s Distracted Driving Law: Enacted in the summer of 2017, the law bans drivers from holding a phone or other device in their hands. It also prohibits texting; the opening, reading, viewing, typing, saving or sending of emails, photos and other data; browsing the web; watching a video; transmitting videos or live feeds. Contacting emergency services is the one exception. While the law does allow hands-free use of cell phones, electronic devices and built-in infotainment systems, previous AAA research found these interactions just as distracting as hand-held ones.

SAN FRANCISCO — Tesla CEO Elon Musk won't be joining Twitter's board of directors as previously announced. The tempestuous billionaire remains Twitter’s largest shareholder. Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal tweeted the news, which followed a weekend of Musk tweets suggesting possible changes to Twitter, including making the site ad-free. Nearly 90% of Twitter's 2021 revenue came from ads. “Elon's appointment to the board was to become officially effective on 4/9, but Elon shared that same morning that he would not be joining the board,” Agrawal wrote in a reposted note originally sent to Tesla employees. “I believe this is for the best.” Agrawal didn't offer an explanation for Musk's apparent decision. He said the board understood the risks of having Musk as a member. But it, “believed having Elon as a fiduciary of the company, where he, like all board members, has to act in the best interests of the company and all our shareholders, was the best path forward," he wrote. Musk posted a few cryptic tweets late Sunday, including one showing a meme saying, “In all fairness, your honor, my client was in goblin mode," followed by one saying “Explains everything." Another, later tweet was of an emoji with a hand over its mouth. He now has a 9% stake in Twitter, raising questions about how he might try to reshape the social media platform as Twitter’s biggest shareholder. Musk’s 80.5 million Twitter followers make him one of the most popular figures on the platform, rivaling pop stars like Ariana Grande and Lady Gaga. But his prolific tweeting has sometimes gotten him into trouble, such as when he has used it to promote his business ventures, rally Tesla loyalists, question pandemic measures and pick fights. In one famous example, Musk apologized to a British cave explorer who alleged the Tesla CEO had branded him a pedophile by referring to him as “pedo guy” in an angry — and subsequently deleted — tweet. The explorer filed a defamation suit, although a Los Angeles jury later cleared Musk. He’s also been locked in a long-running dispute with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission over his Twitter activity. Musk and Tesla in 2018 agreed to pay $40 million in civil fines and for Musk to have his tweets approved by a corporate lawyer after he tweeted about having the money to take Tesla private at $420 per share. That didn’t happen but the tweet caused Tesla’s stock price to jump. His lawyer has contended that the SEC is infringing on Musk’s free speech rights. Musk has described himself as a “free speech absolutist” and has said he doesn’t think Twitter is living up to free speech principles — an opinion shared by followers of Donald Trump and several right-wing political figures who’ve had their accounts suspended for violating Twitter content rules. But what’s really has been driving Musk’s Twitter involvement isn’t clear. Other preoccupations with the service include arguing to make Twitter’s algorithm viewable by the public, widening the availability of “verified” Twitter accounts, and blasting a profile photo initiative involving non-fungible tokens, or NFTs. Musk has also called “crypto spam bots,” which search tweets for cryptocurrency related keywords then pose as customer support to empty user crypto wallets, the “most annoying problem on Twitter.” Twitter's CEO and other board members have praised Musk, suggesting they might take his ideas seriously. Agrawal's initial actions since taking over from co-founder Jack Dorsey in November have involved reorganizing divisions without making major changes. The company has long lagged behind its social media rivals and boasts far fewer users.

RICHMOND, Va. — U.S. service members who are HIV-positive cannot be discharged or barred from becoming an officer solely because they're infected with the virus, a federal judge in Virginia ruled. Advocates say it's one of the strongest rulings in years for people living with HIV. The cases involved two service members that the Air Force attempted to discharge, as well as Sgt. Nick Harrison of the D.C. Army National Guard, who was denied a position in the Judge Advocate General (JAG) Corps. U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema said in a written order dated April 6 that her ruling bars the military from taking those actions against the plaintiffs and any other asymptomatic HIV-positive service member with an undetectable viral load ”because they are classified as ineligible for worldwide deployment ... due to their HIV-positive status.” Peter Perkowski, an attorney for the plaintiffs, called it “a landmark victory — probably the biggest ruling in favor of people living with HIV in the last 20 years." “The military was the last employer in the country that had a policy against people living with HIV. Every other employer — including first responders — is subject to rules that prohibit discrimination based on HIV status,” he said. The Department of Defense did not immediately respond to an emailed request seeking comment on the ruling or whether it intends to appeal. The airmen, identified by pseudonyms in the 2018 lawsuit, argued that major advancements in treatment mean they can easily be given appropriate medical care and present no real risk of transmission to others. In 2020, the Richmond-based 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a preliminary injunction barring the discharge of the airmen. In its ruling, the three-judge panel said the military’s rationale for prohibiting deployment of HIV-positive service members was “outmoded and at odds with current science.” The appeals court ruling left the injunction in place while their lawsuit was being heard. The Department of Justice argued before the 4th Circuit that the Air Force determined the two airmen could no longer perform their duties because their career fields required them to deploy frequently and because their condition prevented them from deploying to the U.S. Central Command’s area of responsibility, where most airmen are expected to go. Central Command, which governs military operations in the Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia, prohibits personnel with HIV from deploying without a waiver. The DOJ acknowledged that treatment lowers the risk of transmitting HIV, but said the risk is amplified on the battlefield where soldiers can often come into contact with blood. An attorney for the airmen argued during a 2019 hearing that the odds of transmitting HIV in combat are infinitesimal and should not limit their deployment or lead to their discharge. In its written ruling, the 4th Circuit panel said a ban on deployment may have been justified at a time when HIV treatment was less effective at managing the virus and reducing the risk of transmission. “But any understanding of HIV that could justify this ban is outmoded and at odds with current science. Such obsolete understandings cannot justify a ban, even under a deferential standard of review and even according appropriate deference to the military’s professional judgments,” Judge James Wynn Jr. wrote in the unanimous 2020 ruling. Brinkema said in this month's written order that she had temporarily sealed her ruling in the case to give both sides a chance to seek redactions within 14 days. The judge ordered the secretary of the Air Force to rescind the decision to discharge the two airmen and ordered the Army to rescind its decision denying Harrison's application to commission into JAG, and to reevaluate those decisions in light of her ruling. Kara Ingelhart, senior attorney at Lambda Legal, one of the groups that brought the lawsuits, said in a news release that the ruling knocks down a barrier to preventing people living with AIDS from becoming officers, and "brings an end to the military's ongoing discrimination against the approximately 2,000 service members currently serving while living with HIV.”

WASHINGTON — After years of avoiding the request, John Lennon's son, Julian, has performed his father's worldwide hit "Imagine." Selected as the closing segment for Global Citizen's Stand Up for Ukraine fundraiser event in Warsaw on Saturday, the 59-year-old, accompanied by guitarist Nuno Bettencourt, performed a heartfelt rendition of the song often recalled in times of war or conflict, with its lyrics calling for unity and peace. The event culminated in more than $10 billion worth of pledges to support Ukrainian refugees, according to Global Citizen. On his YouTube channel, Lennon explained why he has previously avoided publicly performing the song, and why the situation in Ukraine had provoked him to finally give-in to years of requests. "I had always said, that the only time I would ever consider singing ‘Imagine' would be if it was the ‘End of the World,'" Lennon wrote. "The War on Ukraine is an unimaginable tragedy. As a human, and as an artist, I felt compelled to respond in the most significant way I could." "[John Lennon's] lyrics reflect our collective desire for peace worldwide," the post continued. "Because within this song, we’re transported to a space, where love and togetherness become our reality, if but for a moment in time." Since Russia invaded Ukraine more than six weeks ago, more than 4 million people have fled Ukraine, with more than half going to Poland and others heading to countries like Moldova, Romania and Hungary. An additional 6.5 million have been displaced internally. Those numbers are expected to swell as the war drags on, the World Bank said. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

OREGON CITY, Ore. — The latest data from the United Nations estimates more than 4,000,000 people have fled their homes in Ukraine because of the Russian invasion. However, an Oregon City family has loved ones stuck in the country and they've been trying desperately to get them out of the war zone and to the U.S. Yuliia Paliukh lives in Oregon City with her dad. She was born in Ukraine where many of her family still lives. "My mom, my sister with family. She has two kids," said Paliukh. "And I have many aunts and uncles and cousins they are still living over there." Relations between Russia and Ukraine have been hostile for years, because of that Paliukh said as permanent U.S. residents, they've been trying for some time to bring her mom and brother into the country. "My dad applied for papers for them, documents in 2018 but this process taking too long, especially with COVID times," explained Paliukh. And now, the war adds another layer of uncertainty. Erick Widman, an immigration lawyer with Passage Immigration Law said since the start of the war, there's been an influx of Oregonians trying to get family members from Ukraine to Oregon. "The process, on average, takes about a year," said Widman. "So, what used to take 12-14 months can likely expand to a year and a half to two years unless they drastically ramp up staff at U.S. Embassies around the world." The Biden administration recently announced the United States would accept up to 100,000 refugees fleeing Ukraine. Paliukh hopes this announcement is the push needed to ramp up the process to bring her loved ones to Oregon City. "I believe in miracles," she said. "Because we really want to see our family here."

SNOQUALMIE PASS, Wash. — Fourteen inches of new snow fell over Snoqualmie Pass Saturday night, marking the ninth snowiest winter in 20 years. The snow and weather also caused traffic woes on Interstate 90 near Snoqualmie Pass. It was a clear day on Sunday heading from Seattle to Snoqualmie Pass. As the drive continued, a wintery mix in North Bend quickly turned to snow and snarled traffic near the summit. “I drive at least 10 miles an hour slower," said Larry Huffman, who was driving on the pass. "We did see a couple rigs, one that passed me. It looked like he spun out and went into the road." On Saturday, both sides of I-90 were closed for several hours due to multiple collisions. On Sunday, KING 5 crews saw more of the same, with state troopers responding to a handful of vehicles going off the road. The Washington State Department of Transportation Snoqualmie Pass Twitter account tweeted Sunday morning the pass had 14 inches of new snow overnight, moving it to ninth place for the snowiest winters of the two decades. Experts said the historic amount of snow western Washington has been receiving may be a hazard for drivers but could make a difference during the fire season. "This could hopefully help build the snowpack, so we have more of those reserves coming into our dry season," said University of Washington Assistant State Climatologist Karin Bumbaco. Bumbaco said snowfall this late into the year isn’t unusual. She said snowpack usually peaks statewide at the beginning of April, and there have been several years where heavy snowfall continues in the mountains throughout the month. State troopers want to remind drivers to take it slow on the roads and leave plenty of room between vehicles, and of course, follow all driving restrictions along the pass.

WARWICK, R.I. (WPRI) — An investigation is underway after a pilot reported a laser strike five miles southwest of Rhode Island T.F. Green International Airport, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The pilot of an Embraer 175 regional jet said someone shortly after midnight shined a laser at the aircraft while it was at an altitude of 1,900 feet, the FAA said. The FAA reported the incident to Warwick police, who were sent to check the Goddard Park area. No suspects were located, police said. Pointing lasers into a cockpit is a federal crime and can result in a fine of up to $11,000 per violation. “Pointing a laser at an aircraft can temporarily blind a pilot and, not only affects the crew, but also endangers passengers,” FAA Administrator Steve Dickson said in a news release. The FAA said these types of incidents are on the rise, with a record 9,723 reported last year.

Hometown: Tampa, Fla. Pairs well with: Confronting harsh truths Going straight into the searing chorus from rapper Perception, the tone is set: "Streets is not a game / you insane / they can't coach you. / Some make it out but you're really not supposed to." Perception X Katara's Tiny Desk Contest entry is filled with dark observations about navigating survival within various societal structures that seem to go against that very thing ("No justice in a system tryna make it work / Power tripping but they never get to quench their thirst"). The interplay between Perception's realist lyrics and ethereal harp and keyboard-led melodies is indeed a delicate balance. The whole band moves nicely in sync here, but a special nod goes to the keyboardist playing keys and harp at the same time — no small feat! Copyright 2022 NPR. To see more, visit https://www.npr.org.

Harrison Burton and the No. 21 Motorcraft/Quick Lane Mustang are set to start 29th in Saturday night’s Blue-Emu 400 at Martinsville Speedway. Burton also was 29th in Friday’s practice session, with a best lap of 93.391 miles per hour, which he turned on the 17th of his 24 laps run. He was 22nd best on the 10-consecutive-lap runs, posting an average speed of 93.109 mph on his Laps 21-30. Burton was poised to move up the speed chart during qualifying but slid his left-front tire on his first lap, which hurt his speed for both laps. Still, he bettered his speed from practice, touring the tight half-mile oval at 94.050 mph. Saturday’s 400-lapper is the first points-paying short-track race on the 2022 Cup Series schedule and the first night race. The Blue-Emu 400 is set to get the green flag just after 7:30 p.m. Eastern Time with TV coverage on FOX Sports One. Stage breaks are set for Laps 80 and 180. WBR PR

DALLAS (AP) — Barry Biffle is juggling his day job as CEO of Frontier Airlines while also working to save a proposed merger with Spirit Airlines that would create the nation's fifth-biggest carrier by some measures. This figures to be a bounce-back year for airlines like Frontier that cater to leisure travelers. After two years of hunkering down during the pandemic, more people are flying. Biffle says the recovery in travel will enable his Denver-based airline to return to profitability this summer. And he's puzzled by doubters, including investors who are shorting the stock — betting that the shares will fall in price. On the merger, Biffle says Frontier and Spirit are answering regulators' questions, and he is not alarmed that several liberals in Congress are urging the Biden administration to take a close look at whether the deal will hurt consumers. The bigger obstacle to a Frontier-Spirit deal is JetBlue Airways, which made its own $3.6 billion bid for Spirit last week. JetBlue's offer is higher than Frontier’s $2.9 billion bid, which was announced in February. Frontier declined to make Biffle available after the JetBlue announcement. In an interview days earlier, Biffle discussed regulatory review of the Frontier-Spirit merger proposal, travel demand and other topics with The Associated Press. The answers have been edited for length. Q. Where is travel demand now? A. We have gone from possibly the worst revenue period at the beginning of Q1, in January and February, to one of the best sales periods. Fare levels and total revenue per passenger in the early March time frame exceeded 2019 levels — over $120 per passenger. COVID has held everyone back, but eventually after two years, it would appear people are ready to get back to their lives. Q. Why do you think that's happening? A. We have been talking a lot about the bad side of inflation; this inflation is driven by higher incomes. We have never seen incomes jumping at the levels that they are, especially at the bottom. That is giving you people cooped up for two years wanting to get back to travel, and they have got more income than they have ever had. Q. What does that mean for Frontier? A. Historically that would actually get you back to 2019 levels in revenue. You actually need a little more though, unfortunately, to cover fuel. But with that trajectory, we believe that we can be profitable by the summer. Q. The number of flyers has gone up and down during the pandemic. Is it hard to schedule the right number of flights? A. We were really optimistic about the recovery a year ago ... but then the delta variant hit and we were caught with way too much capacity. And we were going to have a great fourth quarter, and then the omicron hit. We have looked at other carriers — Alaska, for example — that has kept their capacity constrained (while) we were operating 90%, 95% of utilization in some periods, and we have been punished for that. While (demand) is great, it's still not great in all the off-peak periods. While Fridays and Sundays are great, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, not so much. While spring break-Easter is still great, I don't yet know how the first two weeks of May are going to be, I don’t yet know how the first two weeks in June are going to be, I don’t know what the second half of August is going to look like, I don’t know what September is going to look like. Q. Frontier has an unusually high amount of short-selling, given the number of shares out there. Why is that? (Short sellers borrow shares and sell them while planning to replace the borrowed shares at a lower price. They lose money if they must replace shares at a higher price.) A. I’m not an expert on it. I don’t run a hedge fund. It is very high, and we are sitting around watching it, kind of scratching our head. Not sure I get it, and it seems very dangerous because if you're short-selling our stock and the days to cover (replace the borrowed shares) become a problem, that's what started the whole GameStop craze, right? I’m personally confused at why they think this is a good idea. Q. It's been about two months since Frontier and Spirit announced plans to merge. Any news about the name of the new airline, the headquarters location and the management team? A. No, we’re not planning to announce any of that before July. It’s going to take some time to look through these things and come to the right conclusion. Q. Are your people talking to antitrust regulators? A. We have started the process and it’s a very normal process so far. This is going to take to the end of the year to complete. They have questions, and we will deal with them in due course. Q. Do you have any reason to think they will challenge the merger or require divestitures? A. We haven’t heard anything like that. Neither one of us have dominant positions in LaGuardia or Reagan (airports). We just don’t have the things that you want to give up because it creates a monopoly. Q. Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders and other members of Congress asked the administration to examine the deal closely. Does that worry you? A. They didn’t come out opposing it. They are asking the administration to look into if this is going to raise fares to consumers. I understand their concern ... many of the mergers that have created the big four in the United States (American, Delta, United and Southwest) caused some challenges for people. I think as they see the facts, they are going to see that (the Frontier-Spirit deal) is good for consumers. Q. Let's say the deal gets approved. What is this new, combined airline going to look like in five or 10 years? A. In a few years, I think we’ll have nationwide notoriety as the place to go for low fares and best value. Q. What does that mean to shareholders? A. There is $500 million in (EBITDA, or gross earnings) just in synergies from a combined company. Over a five-year period, both airlines were going to roughly double in size as well ... It's good for the economy, it's good for the shareholders, and hopefully — back to your short-seller question — we have proven all those people wrong.

It's Bank of Canada week and analysts at MUFG reiterate a call for selling USD/CAD on a 50 bps hike this week. They have a target of 1.2150 and a stop at 1.2750. Spot is at 1.2625. "We are maintaining our short USD/CAD trade idea... The balance between the BOC hiking by 25 bps or 50 bps is a close call but the market now is positioned slightly more in favour of 50 bps and the jobs data coupled with near-term inflation risks and the opportunity to act more aggressively in sync with the FEd, we see a 50 bp hike this week," MUFG notes.

The USDCAD has moved to a new high and in the process, moved above the 200 day MA at 1.26204. The price also tested and moved briefly above a swing area between 1.26211 and 1.26263. The high price reached 1.26287 but could not sustain momentum. The price of the USDCAD has subsequently moved back below its 200 day moving average and currently trades at 1.2617. Will traders be disappointed on the failed break and turn to sellers now? Close risk for sellers would now be a move above the aforementioned levels. On the downside, the broken 38.2% retracement 1.25923 would be the next downside target. Below that and traders will start to look toward the 1.25616 to 1.25696 area, followed by the rising 100 hour moving average at 1.2551.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia claimed that it destroyed several air defense systems in Ukraine over the weekend, in what appeared to be a renewed push to gain air superiority and take out weapons Kyiv has described as crucial ahead of a broad new offensive in the east. In one strike announced Monday, Moscow said that it hit four S-300 launchers provided by a European country it didn’t name. Slovakia gave Ukraine just such a system last week but denied it had been destroyed. Russia previously reported two strikes on similar systems in other places. Moscow’s initial invasion stalled on several fronts as it met with stiff resistance from Ukrainian forces, who prevented the Russians from taking the capital and other cities. The failure to win full control of Ukraine’s skies has hampered Moscow’s ability to provide air cover for troops on the ground, limiting their advances and likely exposing them to greater losses. With their offensive attacks in many parts of the country thwarted, Russian forces have relied increasingly on bombarding cities. The war has left many urban areas flattened, killed thousands of people, and left Russia politically and economically isolated. The war has also shattered Ukraine’s economy, with the World Bank estimating it will shrink by more than 45% this year. Ukrainian authorities accuse Russian forces of committing atrocities, including a massacre in the town of Bucha, outside Kyiv, airstrikes on hospitals and a missile attack that killed at least 57 people at a train station. In Bucha on Monday, the work of exhuming bodies from a mass grave in a churchyard resumed. Galyna Feoktistova waited for hours in the cold and rain in hopes of identifying her 50-year-old son, who was shot and killed more than a month ago, but eventually she went home for some warmth. “He’s still there,” her surviving son, Andriy, said. Now, Russia is regrouping for a renewed push in the eastern Donbas region, where Moscow-backed separatists have been battling Ukrainian forces since 2014 and have declared independent states. Both sides are digging in for what could be a devastating war of attrition. Russia has appointed a seasoned general to lead the effort, according to U.S. officials, though they do not see one man making a difference. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is meanwhile pleading for more Western aid, saying his forces need heavier firepower to resist the coming onslaught and push Russian forces back. Echoing his remarks in an AP interview, Zelenskyy said Sunday that the coming week could be crucial, with Western support to his country — or the lack thereof — proving decisive. “To be honest, whether we will be able to (survive) depends on this,” Zelenskyy said in a “60 Minutes” interview. “Unfortunately, I don’t have the confidence that we will be receiving everything we need.” In a video address to South Korean lawmakers on Monday, he specifically requested equipment that can shoot down Russian missiles. But those armaments could increasingly come under attack as Russia looks to shift the balance in the 6-week-old war. Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said the military used cruise missiles to destroy four launchers on the southern outskirts of the central city of Dnipro on Sunday. He said the military also hit such systems in the Mykolaiv and Kharkiv regions. Lubica Janikova, spokeswoman for Slovakia’s prime minister, denied Monday that the S-300 system it sent Ukraine had been destroyed. She said any other claim is not true. It’s not clear what that system included, but a senior U.S. defense official has said the Soviet-era system typically is comprised of four launchers. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to provide information in advance of the public announcement. None of the Russian claims could be independently verified. Ukraine has specifically asked for more S-300s in recent months, though it already had a number of the Soviet-built systems and other long-range air defense systems. It also has received batches of portable, shoulder-fired Western anti-aircraft weapons like Stingers, which are efficient against low-flying aircraft. Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer was due to meet Monday in Moscow with Russian President Vladimir Putin, after meeting with Zelenskyy in Kyiv. Austria, a member of the European Union, is militarily neutral and not a member of NATO. Questions remain about the ability of depleted and demoralized Russian forces to conquer much ground after their advance on Kyiv was repelled by determined Ukrainian defenders. Britain’s Defense Ministry said Monday that Ukraine has already beaten back several assaults by Russian forces in the eastern Donetsk and Luhansk regions — which make up the Donbas — resulting in the destruction of Russian tanks, vehicles and artillery. In Washington, a senior U.S. official said Russia has appointed Gen. Alexander Dvornikov, one of its most experienced military chiefs, to oversee the invasion. The official was not authorized to be identified and spoke on condition of anonymity. Russia does not generally announce such appointments, and there was no comment from Moscow. Dvornikov, 60, gained a reputation for brutality as head of Russian forces deployed to Syria in 2015 to back President Bashar Assad’s government during the country’s devastating civil war. Until now, Russia has had no central war commander on the ground. But U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan, speaking Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” played down the appointment’s significance. “What we have learned in the first several weeks of this war is that Ukraine will never be subjected to Russia,” Sullivan said. “It doesn’t matter which general President Putin tries to appoint.” Western military analysts say Russia’s assault increasingly is focusing on eastern Ukraine — an arc stretching from Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, in the north, to Kherson in the south. On Sunday, Russian forces shelled government-controlled Kharkiv and sent reinforcements toward Izyum to the southeast to try to break Ukraine’s defenses, the Ukrainian military said. The Russians also kept up their weekslong siege of Mariupol, a key port in the Donbas. A residential area in Kharkiv was struck by incoming fire on Monday afternoon. Associated Press journalists saw firefighters putting out the fire and checking for victims following the attack, and saw that at least five people were killed, including a child. Oleh Synyehubov, the regional governor of Kharkiv, said earlier Monday that Russian shelling had killed 11 people over the last 24 hours. The Institute for the Study of War, an American think tank, predicted that Russian forces will “renew offensive operations in the coming days” from Izyum in the campaign to conquer the Donbas, which comprises Ukraine’s industrial heartland. But it said the outcome “remains very much in question.” In Mariupol, Russia deployed Chechen fighters, reputed to be particularly fierce. Capturing the city on the Sea of Azov would give Russia a land bridge to the Crimean Peninsula, which Russia seized from Ukraine and annexed eight years ago. In a video posted on his Telegram channel, Chechen Leader Ramzan Kadyrov said Russian forces would launch a renewed offensive on Mariupol and “in all the other settlements, cities and villages.” Mariupol’s residents have lacked food, water and electricity since Russian forces surrounded the city. Hundreds of thousands have fled, though Russian attacks have also frustrated evacuation missions. Vladislav Usovich, an 18-year-old conscript serving in Russia-backed separatist forces, advanced slowly with other fighters through residential areas around a factory in Mariupol on Sunday. “I thought it would go better, I thought it would be faster. Everything is going slowly,” he said. “The Ukrainians are prepared fighters. NATO trained them well.” ___ This story has been updated to correct that the war began just over six weeks ago, not 10 weeks. ___ Anna reported from Bucha, Ukraine.

John Daly thrived at the 2022 Masters tournament in Augusta, Ga. last week. The 55-year-old pro golfer spent most of Masters week at Hooters, where his big tent was set up in the parking lot outside Augusta National to sell merchandise to fans — a tradition Daly has continued with the restaurant chain since 1997. Daly posed for photos with a number of Hooters girls that shared the snaps to Instagram. He was pictured holding a cigarette in one photo, while others showed him smiling with Hooters girls, who posed with autographed merchandise. “I told @pga_johndaly he was a badass… he said I was too😎,” one Hooters girl wrote on Instagram. Daly, who spends most of his playing time on the Champions Tour, previously advertised his Hooters appearance in a post on Instagram during Masters week. He last played at the Masters in 2006. Last month, Daly released his country second album, “Whiskey & Water,” which features Willie Nelson.

The infamous Playboy babe is ready to reclaim her fame — and all that jazz. Pamela Anderson is heading to the Broadway stage this month to star as Roxie Hart in “Chicago.” The 54-year-old will be making her Broadway debut at the Ambassador Theatre on April 12. Her run as one of the murderess madames in the Cook County Jail will last through June 5. She is also set to release a highly anticipated memoir and Netflix documentary, which will include her Broadway debut. Anderson’s upcoming projects will be the first big pieces of work the blond bombshell has worked on in years. “When I was a lot younger, I took my power back in certain situations, and it feels the same way [now],” Anderson told CNN. “It feels like another step closer to taking my power back and really taking it back. It’s very empowering. And it does feel I’m being supported. I’m being rooted for, that’s a new feeling for me. I don’t want to let anybody down, but I also really don’t want to let myself down.” The news of Anderson’s casting sent social media abuzz with many expressing their excitement for the star. She has also recently gained a new generation of fans and a wave of support due to the recent release of the Hulu miniseries “Pam & Tommy” — which told the story of her stolen sex tape scandal and was released without her consent. Coming back on the scene on her own terms, the Canadian actress packed three bags at her rural ranch and made her way to the Big Apple where she has been undergoing a grueling rehearsal schedule. “I just threw myself into rehearsals,” Anderson told CNN. “And it was six, seven, maybe eight hours a day. I was doing four hours of dance, one hour voice, two hours of acting … Then I came to New York and got thrown right into it with David Bushman and the director. I’m just like, ‘I’m doing this, I’m doing this!’ “And it’s incredible because I didn’t realize — obviously, your voice, it’s a muscle, and so every day my voice is getting stronger and stronger to the point where I’m just looking behind me going, who’s singing like that?'” Acclaimed Broadway producer Barry Weissler gushed over his new femme fatale telling the Associated Press, “She can surprise a lot of people.” “The woman has acting chops. She certainly can dance, and her singing voice is quite good. So here we go.” Anderson was first approached about the role 11 years ago but declined the project as she focused on raising her teenage sons without a nanny. “I couldn’t even imagine that was something I could do,” she said. But when she was reapproached about the project a few months ago, a star was reborn. The model, actress and activist has been displayed on front covers, starred in film and TV roles and headlined campaigns but has never stood under the stage lights. “I’m gonna be so nervous. But I also love the live audience. I’ve done a little bit of public speaking like at Oxford and Cambridge about veganism and things like that … so I think I’m really going to love it.” “From ‘Baywatch’ to Broadway. I am inspired by the unexpected,” she previously told the AP. “This is it, and I will not hold back anymore. I am letting go. For ‘Chicago,’ I’ll be putting all my cards on the table. I am doubling down — on me.” Anderson told CNN that she hopes that her new role “might be the beginning of something really interesting for me.” “And in a way where I feel respected, honored, all those weird things that I never felt before. So it’s a very strange feeling … I always knew, even as a young girl, I remember at five years old thinking that I was going to do something that was going to be unexpected. … not to prove people wrong, but just to prove to myself that I was much more capable of something great.”

Prince William residents raised concerns over contamination, earthquake safety, truck traffic and more at a public information session on Dominion Energy’s plan to construct a new coal ash landfill at its Possum Point Power Station. The utility company is seeking approval for a new on-site landfill to contain the roughly 4 million cubic yards of coal ash currently sitting in Pond D at Possum Point. The double-lined, 190-foot landfill would be “above and beyond” state regulations, with lining that should last for over 400 years, according to Dominion representatives. But nearby residents say they’re concerned about the plan, which will ultimately need county and state clearance. At an information session Monday night hosted by Potomac Supervisor Andrea Bailey, speakers worried about issues like the durability of the landfill in the event of an earthquake, as well as the volume and speed of truck traffic needed to haul in soil to cover the coal ash. “How can you build a … coal ash landfill on a site where there’s already groundwater contamination underneath it, and exceedances for groundwater contamination, knowing that you’re stirring up that contaminated groundwater?” one resident asked. Spencer Adkins, a projects director at Dominion Energy, said the proposed setup would be much more secure for containing and separating the coal ash from any groundwater than the current Pond D. Previously, Dominion operated as many as five different ash ponds at Possum Point, but the company consolidated them into Pond D after the power plant stopped burning coal in 2003. “It’s going to be a brand new … containerized system that will hold everything in. It will have a detection system … that we’ll be monitoring, having it inspected,” Adkins said. “So we’ll continue to monitor all those things, basically that’s the main difference.” As for earthquakes, Adkins and another Dominion representative said the power station has already had to meet several standards related to seismic activity and that the new landfill would have to do the same. If constructed at the western corner of Dominion’s Possum Point property, as the company is proposing, the landfill would sit about 1,000 feet from the nearest homes at the southern end of Potomac Shores. Dominion says it has three options for what to do with the coal ash sitting in Pond D since former Gov. Ralph Northam signed a state law requiring the disposal of coal ash to protect groundwater. Of the three options – depositing the ash into an onsite landfill, shipping it to an offsite landfill, or transporting it away to have half of it recycled – Dominion says the onsite option would be the most cost-efficient, fastest and least disruptive to nearby residents. Moving the ash to have it recycled or stored in a different landfill would require over 100 trucks per day or 200 railcars per week and range in cost from $703 million to $1.19 billion. The onsite landfill, the company says, would cost just $347 million, and any cost could ultimately be passed on to the state’s energy consumers as allowed in the 2019 legislation. But residents said the transportation breakdown Dominion was showing the public was not comprehensive. The company has provided estimates only for how many trucks it would require to ship the coal ash away from Possum Point if it went with one of the offsite options. It has provided no such estimate for the number of trucks required to bring soil into Possum Point with the onsite option. Residents also said that trucks moving in and out of Possum Point frequently sped through nearby neighborhoods during previous projects. “You show zero trucks on the onsite landfill but you haven’t done a cut-and-fill analysis, but you’re able to come with these numbers,” a member of Bailey’s resident task force for the proposal said Monday night. “I mean, you’re talking about a tremendous amount of dirt.” Dominion will have to undertake a similar process at three other ash sites in Virginia, as well. Originally, Adkins said, the utility planned to drain Pond D and cover it with a synthetic cap and topsoil. But the existing pond’s single liner wouldn’t meet the new state requirements, which were passed to prevent carcinogenic heavy metals in the ash from seeping into the groundwater. Ultimately, the company says an onsite landfill could be planted over, and some have suggested that if the county grants Dominion the right to build the landfill at Possum Point, it could secure some of the property for redevelopment once the power plant shuts down for good. Because of separate legislation passed in 2020, Dominion will be required to produce all of its energy in Virginia from fully renewable resources by 2045, meaning that it’s likely to shut down many of its existing plants. Similar sites have been turned into parks in places like Arlington and Alexandria. “I think it’s highly unlikely that there’s going to be a power station there in 15 years,” Sen. Scott Surovell, D-36th, told InsideNoVa in January. “That property’s going to need to be repurposed, the vast vast majority of it. And I think the Possum Point power station is probably one of the most valuable redevelopment opportunities in all of Northern Virginia.” But some nearby residents are sure to fight the landfill plan when it finally goes before the Board of County Supervisors for approval. “I’m hearing a lot of valid questions, and I’m also hearing a lot of ‘I don’t have that until we start,’” one resident told Adkins Monday night. “I guarantee you we’re going to need the studies, we’re going to need the full finished plan, we’re going to need the names of the trucking company that’s being contracted to move it so that they can be held responsible from the very beginning. So before any approval goes through for this, I’d like to see these questions answered.”

Seventeen-year-olds will now be able to become full, active members of the Arlington County Democratic Committee, following one of a slew of relatively noncontroversial changes to the organization’s bylaws adopted April 6. But that was the easy part. Democrats will reconvene later to consider a number of bylaws changes likely to engender more division among the ranks. Allowing 17-year-olds to participate as active members of the committee – so long as they will turn 18 by the time of the next general election – brings the local party into alignment with state election policy, which allows 17-year-olds to register to vote (and to vote in state-run primaries) if they hit the 18-year-old mark by the next November general election. The proposal received no pushback at the monthly Democratic Committee meeting. Another change adopted by the body: Elimination of the $25 annual membership fee. The organization’s bylaws-review committee, chaired by parliamentarian Corey Barton, opted to put the largely uncontroversial proposals in front of the body in April, holding back other possible changes for coming months. No one balked at that two-step procedure but there was, in the diplomatic language of party chair Steve Baker, “robust discussion” about what type of majority would be needed to pass any upcoming bylaws changes. Current rules require support from two-thirds of those casting ballots to adopt bylaws changes. A proposal was made from the floor to change that to a simple majority. After some occasionally testy back-and-forth, that proposal was voted down by an unofficial tally of 46 against to 20 in favor – roughly mirroring, percentage-wise, the vote on the issue that earlier was taken by the Democratic steering committee of local leaders. Even though the end result wasn’t particularly close, such a split (both in the vote and the tempestuous discussion that preceded it) is rare within a political party whose meetings usually run with a brutal efficiency and lack of dissent akin to North Korean parliamentary gatherings. It led one observer to chuckle that he came to a Democratic Committee meeting only to find that an Arlington County Civic Federation meeting (where parliamentary-procedure folderols used to be legendary) had broken. Though a little messy, “this is what democracy looks like,” said the party’s deputy chair, Mike Hemminger, after the dust had settled. The party will next gather in early May; whether additional bylaws proposals will be ready by then remains an open question. But before the matter comes to a floor vote, “we are going to address many of the things you feel passionate about,” Baker said to members.

There is one less election on the horizon for Arlington this year. The April 7 filing deadline came and went with no challenger emerging to take on incumbent County Board member Matt de Ferranti in the June 21 election. As a result, the primary will be canceled and de Ferranti moves on to the general election. “I am grateful to be the Democratic nominee,” de Ferranti told the Sun Gazette. “I look forward to working hard to earn each and every vote [in November].” An attorney, de Ferranti in 2018 was first elected to the County Board, and chaired the body in 2021. He said the upcoming election, which is likely to include several independents and perhaps a Republican nominee, would be a time for “sharing ideas on inclusive economic growth, housing affordability and home ownership, better addressing climate change and partnering with our schools to address learning losses due to COVID.” The filing deadline for candidates seeking to run in the November County Board race is the third week in June.

As it gets down to crunch time for approving a design plan for the Arlington Career Center parcel, community criticism and School Board concerns are being raised over the overall cost, the amenities provided and whether focusing so much money on one project will crowd out needed capital spending elsewhere. School Board members on April 7 reviewed the current staff proposal for the project, which pegs a major new facility on the Career Center campus at between $158.3 million and $174.6 million. Those are increases from the maximum project costs initially ratified by School Board members last autumn. The staff proposal maintains the current timeline: Beginning the project during the summer of 2023, having the major building complete by December 2025 and then wrapping up ancillary efforts by 2027. But with a vote on the concept design slated for April 28, concerns seem to be growing. “I need a better understanding of what the future vision is,” School Board member Reid Goldstein said in a comment that minutes later was echoed by his colleague Mary Kadera. That future vision for the site – including whether the existing Career Center building and nearby Montessori School of Arlington will be renovated or razed – is likely to come in early May, when Superintendent Francisco Durán details his latest capital-spending plan. However, some board members seemed to fear the cart was being put before the horse, as they were being asked to OK the new building’s concept design without a vetting of how it fits into the bigger capital-improvement picture. Also of concern to some: Plans for the Career Center will push the school system perilously close to its maximum debt ceiling as imposed by the County Board, leaving little for other projects over the coming four years. Kadera said that was akin to a family maxing out all its credit cards at once, although she later walked that back as a “bad” analogy. But she maintained that it was necessary to understand the opportunity costs to the school system of going with a pricey Career Center campus. The Career Center site sits just north of Columbia Pike along South Walter Reed Drive, abutted by residential communities on two sides. Residents and leaders of close-by neighborhoods have been watching the project’s evolution, and at the April 7 meeting brought up concerns. Christine Brittle of the Penrose community, who has been active in the planning process, said those in her neighborhood remain concerned about the lack of a fully fleshed out aspiration for the site, as well as having concerns that putting all the school system’s capital-spending eggs in the Career Center basket could leave nearby schools languishing in line for needed renovations. “The community strongly believes we need a long-term plan before moving ahead,” she said. “Prior delays [in the project] are not a justification for inadequate planning.” John Snyder, a veteran civic activist in the Douglas Park neighborhood on the south side of Columbia Pike, was angered that a plan for an auditorium on the site disappeared from the planning process last fall without notification to the public. “This is a big problem for equity and transparency,” he said. The plan does call for a gym, black-box theater and facilities for art and music for students both of the Career Center and Arlington Tech programs. But several School Board members pressed staff to justify them. “Tell me about how those are critical,” board member Cristina Diaz-Torres probed. Staff member Bridget Loft responded that Arlington Tech students are required to take phys-ed and elective courses, and not currently having a gym and art/music facilities was hurting their education experience. Kadera responded that “there are trade-offs” when students enroll in specialty programs. “We cannot and should not get into the habit of creating option programs that guarantee amenities identical to neighborhood schools,” she said, pressing staff to clearly enunciate which features are required under state requirements and those that are nice-to-haves rather than must-haves. “If you enroll in an option program, it’s with the understanding that you are getting different, but hopefully equally compelling, amenities,” she said. School Board Chairman Barbara Kanninen seemed disinclined to go back and revisit the past, saying she and fellow board members last August had given the OK to cost parameters for the project. “A budget was established and a timeline was established,” Kanninen said, acknowledging that while board members had the authority to revisit both matters, reopening previously approved big-picture planning could lead to “chaotic governance” if it occurred too frequently. Kanninen’s comments drew a retort from Goldstein, who said the budget that had been approved by the board last October was $153 million for the smaller option and $171 million for the larger one. “We don’t have that today,” Goldstein said, as both options presented by staff were are more expensive. Once a concept design is approved by School Board members, the effort moves into the schematic-design phase.

Greater Reston Chamber of Commerce officials on March 31 honored police, fire-and-rescue and Sheriff’s Office employees for their outstanding acts of public protection. More than 600 people attended the 44th annual Fairfax County Valor Awards, held at the Hyatt Regency Reston. The Reston chamber has hosted the event in recent years after taking over from the Northern Virginia Chamber of Commerce. “We are thrilled to have been able to resume the Fairfax Valor Awards as a live, in-person event for the first time since 2019,” said Greater Reston Chamber of Commerce president and CEO Charles Kapur in a statement released by the chamber. “The Valor Awards is a reminder of our local community’s respect and appreciation for those who create a safe environment for all of us to live, work, and play,” Kapur said. The ceremony since its inception in 1979 has honored public-safety workers with the Fairfax County Police Department, Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department, Fairfax County Sheriff’s Office, Vienna and Herndon police departments and Virginia State Police. Vienna police did not have any recipients this year. The chamber bestowed awards in these categories: GOLD AWARDS: Fairfax County Police Department: Majs. Eli Cory and Dalton Becker; Capts.

What’s your favourite ingredient? Seaweed (kelp, laver or alaria) is my current favourite ingredient. It’s easy to source locally and extremely compatible with a variety of seafood, as well as being great as a salad along with some pickled cucumber. I love cooking with the different varieties and learning new things to do with this coastal bounty. Do you have a guilty food pleasure? A BLT sandwich. The perfect balance of streaky smoked bacon, ripe tomatoes, salad leaves and mayonnaise on toasted sourdough is my idea of heaven. Tell us about your first food memory? My mum was an excellent and thrifty cook. She would get two or three meals out of a roast chicken to feed a family of six which takes some doing. I often think of her Tuesday vol-a-vents. They were filled with a creamy chicken sauce made from some of the chicken stock, carrots and the last pieces of meat that had been picked off the carcass. Delicious! What’s your favourite Scottish restaurant, deli, or cafe? For special occasions, I go to The Cellar in Anstruther. However, if I was eating out with good friends, it’d be The Little Chartroom in Edinburgh. My favourite café has to be Bread & Butter in Anstruther. What would be your last supper? I’d start with dragon sushi rolls with crispy soft-shell crab from San Francisco and then I’d have ojo de bife (rib-eye steak) served straight off an Argentinian parilla with a helping of herb chimichurri on the side. Starter or pudding? I’ll go for the starter as I’m a savoury girl at heart. Do you have any food hates? Not really, I will eat anything (and I mean anything) but I’m not in a massive hurry to choose tripe. What starters, main, and dessert would be served at your dream dinner party and who would you invite? For starters, we’d have surf and turf that would include a selection of fish and game that’s been cured and/or smoked. The main course would be roast turbot with sautéed fennel, seaweed beurre blanc and ratte potatoes, and all the ingredients would have been sourced from Fife. Dessert would consist of home-grown rhubarb soufflé served with rhubarb and ginger ice-cream and an orange tuille. As they’re my food heroes, I’d invite chefs Nathan Outlaw, Shirley Spear and Raymond Blanc. Also my life and business partner Malcolm Cheape and all my best pals who love food and make the world a better place. What's your favourite geographical foodie destination? In my previous life as a geologist, I worked in SE Asia and Argentina. I love the flavours in Cambodian, Myanmese and Thai food particularly. In Argentina, there is a long-standing tradition to eat nose-to-tail in order to waste absolutely nothing of their amazing beef. I ate my first intestines over there and it was revelatory!

A report from earlier today said that a Russian oil embargo could be part of the next EU sanctions package but it also highlighted how difficult that would be for some EU countries. Bulgaria, for instance, imports nearly all of its oil from Russia. Sanctions in the EU require unanimity and Hungary has also voiced opposition. With his comment now, Borrell also sounds like he's trying to put the talk to sleep. Meanwhile, OPEC has warned on a potential supply shock from cutting off Russian oil. WTI crude continues to flirt with the March lows.

Norwegian Cruise Line is continuing its “Great Cruise Comeback” with the restart of passenger operations aboard Pride of America, offering round-trip cruises from Honolulu, exploring the Hawaiian islands. This is the cruise line’s 15th ship to set sail since the pandemic shutdown, with only two ships remaining to restart. Pride of America Sets Sail Pride of America officially welcomed passengers back aboard on Saturday, April 9, with its first departure for a 7-night inter-island sailing, exploring multiple ports of call and featuring two days at sea. “Being the only cruise line to sail year-round from Hawai’i, we’re thrilled to be back at last,” Harry Sommer, Norwegian Cruise Line President and Chief Executive Officer, said. The itinerary, which is the same for each weekly sailing, includes four ports of call: Kahului, Maui; both Hilo and Kona in Hawai’i; and Nawiliwili, Kaua’i. Of course, guests can also explore Honolulu before or after their cruise, and Norwegian Cruise Line does offer a limited number of 3-day land-based cruisetour extensions in Oahu. “Pride of America will once again offer thoroughly immersive itineraries and deeply authentic experiences that support business and tourism in Hawai’i, while providing travelers with everything they seek from a vacation in paradise,” Sommer said. During these first sailings as the vessel resumes, the ship will have limited capacity and fewer dining options due to fewer crew members on board. There is no timeline available for when full service may resume, but it will likely depend on how and when local restrictions may be eased further. The 80,439-gross ton Pride of America has a guest capacity of 2,186 passengers at double occupancy, with 927 crew members. Guests should note that some select sailings only feature three ports of call, and itineraries are subject to change. Bookings are now available for reservations through December 2025, and all departures are on Saturdays. 15 Ships Now Sailing Pride of America‘s return marks the fifteenth Norwegian Cruise Line ship to return to service following the pandemic-related, industry-wide global shutdown. Norwegian Jade was the first of the line’s vessels to restart when she set sail from Athens, Greece, in July 2021. Since then, various vessels have restarted in different parts of the world, including Norwegian Jewel from Panama, Norwegian Sky from Miami, and most recently, Norwegian Star from Barcelona on April 3. Norwegian Cruise Line has had a rocky restart with multiple cruise cancelations due to the surge of the Omicron variant in December and January, as well as the damage to Norwegian Escape and multiple cruise cancelations for that vessel. The line has had smoother sailing in recent weeks, however, and is looking forward to a promising summer season. Yet to Set Sail Only two ships in Norwegian Cruise Lines 17-vessel fleet have yet to restart passenger operations. Norwegian Sun will welcome guests for the first time in over two years on May 5 out of Seattle, Washington, where she will offer 5-9 day Alaska itineraries until repositioning to Asia in mid-October. Norwegian Spirit is already positioned in Polynesia, and will restart operations from May 7 with a short series of one-way voyages between Tahiti and Hawaii, before moving to Seattle to sail Alaska cruises for the summer. In addition to these two familiar ships, Norwegian Cruise Line will welcome the new Norwegian Prima in August. First offering a diverse range of inaugural sailings from various ports in Europe and the United States, the new ship will homeport in Port Canaveral, Florida, through the winter.

The Crown has gripped the public ever since it became available on Netflix back in November of 2016. The historical drama series gives a unique insight into Queen Elizabeth II's reign, and with her jubilee coming up later this year, there's no better time to watch it. Fans are eagerly anticipating the release of the fifth season, which is set to be in November of this year. It's fair to say The Crown has become a huge hit, and there's one actress from Kent who has shot to stardom with her role. Emma Corrin, 26, played Diana, The Princess of Wales, during the fourth season of the drama, and it wasn't only the fans of the show she became popular with. Emma received the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress - Television Series Drama as well as being nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. READ MORE: Pam Ferris' quiet life in Kent's historical village But before becoming a star in front of the camera, Emma's roots trace back to our county. She was born in Tunbridge Wells on December 13 of 1995. Emma's family are based in Seal, near Sevenoaks, but her acting really got underway when she attended Woldingham. This was a £36,000-a-year Roman Catholic girls’ school near Oxted in Surrey, where Great Gatsby star Carey Mulligan also went. After leaving the school, Emma took a gap year and completed a Shakespeare course at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. She went on to study drama at the University of Bristol, before leaving to move to St John's College in Cambridge where she studied Education, English, Drama and the Arts from 2015 to 2018. Emma's first appearance in film came back in 2017 when she played the role of Mica in Cesare. She then went on to feature in Alex's Dream and Misbehaviour. But it is her role as Diana that has really made Emma a household name. Before playing the role, she described it as “the most exceptional opportunity”, adding: “Princess Diana was an icon, and her effect on the world remains profound and inspiring. I will strive to do her justice.” Speaking to US chat show host Jimmy Kimmel, Emma revealed how she was a huge fan of the Royal Family before being offered a role in The Crown, as the Mirror reports. She said: "I remember ten years ago, I was 15, I was with my friend Katherine and we got very very swept up in the royal wedding fever, I think probably because we were both very bored and very single. So we decided to go! "We were so excited because my friend Katherine had this great inflatable daffodil. I remember that when we were watching the footage back to see if we could get a glimpse of ourselves, we couldn't see ourselves but we did see, in the middle of these crowds, this massive inflatable daffodil that she was holding up." Emma has also played roles in films Marion and Lady Chatterley, both of which are currently in post-production. So after rising to fame with The Crown, you can expect to see a lot more of the Kent star on your screen in the future! Sign up to get the latest stories from Kent direct into your inbox here

RIO GRANDE CITY, Tex. — A district attorney in Texas has filed a motion to dismiss a murder charge from a woman who performed a “self-induced abortion.” The office of Gocha Allen Ramirez said, “it is clear that Ms. Herrera cannot and should not be prosecuted for the allegation against her.” Ramirez went on to say, “based on Texas law and the facts presented, it is not a criminal matter.” The Starr County Sheriff’s Office in South Texas arrested 26-year-old Lizelle Herrera last week after a hospital reported her in January. An indictment signed in late March said that Herrera caused “the death of an individual J.A.H. by a self-induced abortion.” Herrera was held in custody on a $500,000 bond. She was released from custody after an abortion rights advocacy group posted bail on her behalf. It is not clear under what law Herrera was charged, but University of Texas law professor Stephen Vladeck noted that state law exempts the mother from murder of her unborn child.

In less than a month, it will be time to vote in the May special election, which for some people will include the special election in HCC District 2 to fill the seat left vacant by Rhonda Skillern-Jones’ resignation. Four candidates are on the ballot, and this week I will present to you interviews with each of them. We begin today with Charlene Ward Johnson, who is a UH graduate with a master’s in organizational management. She has worked in the electric utility and customer service industry for over 25 years and is on the board of several community organizations – Vice President of the Greater Houston Frontiers, President of her neighborhood’s Civic Club, and President of University of Houston Black Alumni Association. Here’s what we talked about: Look for the interviews with the other candidates later this week. I will also have interviews for the May 24 Democratic primary runoffs after that.

The Erlanger Heart and Lung team has completed their 200th stroke prevention procedure called the left atrial appendage closure (LAAC). The LAAC procedure decreases the risk of stroke in atrial fibrillation patients. When the procedure is successful patients will no longer need blood thinners. Atrial fibrillation, or Afib, leads to a five times greater risk of stoke and is expected to affect over 12 million people by 2030. Historically, the only treatment option for Afib patients were to take blood thinners for the rest of their lives, which is dangerous for some patients. Senior Director of Erlanger Cardiology, Cheryl Wieber, says, "this milestone procedure further underscores our team’s passion and commitment to being a leader in cardiac care in our community." Erlanger is now a regional leader in LAAC.

A judge in Iowa ruled on Sunday that Democratic Senate candidate Abby Finkenauer cannot appear on the state's June 7 primary ballot, dealing a significant blow to her already longshot hopes of unseating Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley. "Ms. Finkenauer's name shall not be included on the primary ballot for the Democratic Primary for U.S. Senate," Polk County District Judge Scott Beattie wrote in the ruling. The ruling centers around a dispute over the signatures required to get on the ballot. Although Finkenaur's campaign submitted more than the necessary 3,500 signatures, the judge found that she did not meet the requirement that each candidate have at least 100 signatures from at least 19 Iowa counties due to questions about three signatures obtained from Allamakee and Cedar counties. "The Court takes no joy in this conclusion," Beattie wrote. "This Court should not be in the position to make a difference in an election, and Ms. Finkenauer and her supporters should have a chance to advance her candidacy. However, this Court's job is to sit as a referee and apply the law without passion or prejudice. It is required to rule without consideration of the politics of the day." Finkenauer responded to the ruling by saying her campaign was "exploring all of our options to fight back hard against this meritless partisan attack, and to ensure that the voices of Iowans will be heard at the ballot box" and said they are "confident that we have met the requirements to be on the ballot." What comes next in Finkenauer's attempt to make the ballot depends on what avenue the Democratic candidate plans to take. One move could be to appeal the ruling to the Iowa Supreme Court, something Democrats in the state said Monday was likely. Finkenauer could also accept the ruling and run as a write-in candidate in the June primary. This could be complicated by the fact that although Finkenauer, a former congresswoman, was the frontrunner in the Democratic field, she is running against two other Democrats: Glenn Hurst, a city council member in Minden, Iowa, and Mike Franken, a retired Navy admiral. Republicans have been challenging Finkenauer's signatures, initially bringing the complaint to the State Objections Panel. The state body decided in March that Finkenauer could stay on the ballot, but just narrowly. The panel found that Finkenauer submitted at least 100 signatures from 20 counties and needed 19. One of those counties was knocked out by the objection but she was able to squeak by with 100 signatures in one challenged county and 101 in two others. But Republicans successfully brought this lawsuit, saying the panel incorrectly interpreted the law. The-CNN-Wire ™ & © 2022 Cable News Network, Inc., a WarnerMedia Company. All rights reserved.

Many graduate students live in fear of the consequences of disappointing their overcontrolling advisers, but little is discussed or done about the issue, writes Elizabeth Stice. In recent years, educators at every level have bemoaned the rise of the helicopter parent and, more lately, the coming of the “snowplow” parent. Such parents are considered overinvolved in the lives of their children, as they often try to manage their child’s experiences or even control their future. No professor or administrator wants a phone call from one of those parents. But though we often complain about helicopter parents, another form of toxic paternalism is barely whispered about yet all too common in higher education: overcontrolling Ph.D. advisers. We worry about our undergraduates struggling under parental expectations, while many A.B.D. graduate students live in fear of the consequences of disappointing their advisers. Unfortunately, however, little is overtly discussed or done about the issue. Ph.D. students can be the best embodiment of a professor’s legacy. Entire waves of incredible scholars can be traced back to academic advisers who invested time and energy in their students. There are many beautiful academic family trees, each a product of an adviser’s assistance and advocacy of their students in their pursuit of learning, publication and employment opportunities. Yet graduate programs also have other kinds of advisers—those who are so focused on burnishing their own legacy that they become overinvolved in the lives of their students. They seek not to help their students find their own way in the world, but rather work to guarantee that each student lives out the ideas and expectations they set for them. Higher education institutions today are deeply concerned with equity, and they seek to promote more and better opportunities for a broader range of people. But that doesn’t happen for many doctoral students whose life choices do not align with their adviser’s visions of their future. Some advisers will not only negatively comment upon the career choices of their students but even actively hold those choices against them. At some institutions, for instance, it’s not at all frowned upon for advisers to practically disown students who do not choose to work at leading research universities. Ask around, and you’ll probably find that many Ph.D. students at your institution have had experiences with advisers with very narrow visions of their futures. The students who suffer the most under the overly scrutinous gazes of their advisers are women who choose to include marriage and/or family in their lives while also pursuing a Ph.D. Many advisers have strongly counseled their women students not to get married. And if you talk with some female Ph.D. students who have decided to have children while writing their dissertations, you will probably be saddened by how many have had advisers who not only warned against it but openly criticized them for their personal choice. The experience is so common that many women who are reading this have doubtlessly experienced it as their story. Advisers may think they are simply informing students about the “harsh realities” of the academic world, but they are, in fact, the front-line enforcers of such often-gendered standards. The perpetuation of those practices also ignores the place that Ph.D. advisers hold in the institutional power structure. Are they not the same people who can, and do, sit on search committees? Are they not the scholars who have ties to the academic publishing industry? Or who help select conference panels? Advisers have significant say within their discipline and its standards. And they play an outsize role in the future of their students, who cannot advance to graduation without their approval. What can we call this other than toxic paternalism? Many academics think their work is relevant to the larger society, but a large number of those same scholars are openly hostile to their students who interface with the real world by, say, deciding to work at a teaching institution or who sometimes prioritize life outside the profession. Respect for human agency begins at home. Refusing to respect students’ personal choices is the opposite of empowerment. Obviously, we all can cite many wonderful advisers and mentors who do not push their own agendas upon students and insert themselves inappropriately in their careers and life plans. And many Ph.D.s go on to all kinds of jobs with the blessing of their mentors. But higher education leaders must be much more explicit about the fact that academic oversight should not include ownership of students’ personal lives. Deans and academic chairs should remind advisers about boundaries. More people should receive training in advising, as well. We should actively discourage toxic paternalism within our departments. It is the least we can do. Respecting students’ personal autonomy will also lead to better outcomes. A scholar who spends their life chasing the affirmation of their adviser will most likely not make a substantive individual contribution to the field. For an academic legacy to live on, they must escape their adviser’s shadow. The results of helicopter advising will be no better than those of helicopter parenting. Ph.D. students need to be able to think for themselves and follow their own lines of inquiry in order to achieve actual insights. If they look to their advisers for everything, their disciplines cannot advance. In “What Is Enlightenment?” Immanuel Kant encouraged people to have the courage to use their own reason. Graduate students also deserve to be encouraged to use their own reason. They are in graduate school to learn their disciplines, to conduct research and to create new knowledge—not to be directed in their life choices. The students who will create the best legacy for their advisers will be those who are empowered to take ownership of their own scholarship and their own lives.

Fiona the hippo is going to be a (very) big sister CINCINNATI (Gray News) – The Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden announced Monday that hippo Fiona’s mother, Bibi, is pregnant again. “The hippo team is excited and also nervous,” said Eric Byrd, manager of Cincinnati Zoo’s Africa team. “As most people know, Bibi’s first baby, Fiona, was born six weeks premature and wouldn’t have survived without the intervention of her human caregivers. We are hoping for a full-term pregnancy and will be doing everything we can to support Bibi.” According to the zoo, Bibi is on hormone supplements and will receive regular ultrasounds to monitor the growth and health of her fetus. The zoo’s director of animal care, Christina Gorsuch, said they weren’t planning to welcome another baby hippo this soon, but nature found a way. “Most forms of contraception, in hippos or humans, is not 100% reliable,” Gorsuch said. The dose that was previously effective for Bibi did not prevent pregnancy this time.” The soon-to-be father, Tucker, arrived at the zoo in September 2021 and “was enamored with 23-year-old Bibi right away,” the zoo said. The zoo will be sharing updates on Bibi and baby preparations in the months leading up to the birth. Bibi’s big bundle of joy is expected to arrive in late summer 2022.

- Confessions of a Community College Dean In which a veteran of cultural studies seminars in the 1990s moves into academic administration and finds himself a married suburban father of two. Foucault, plus lawn care. Title 1 + 1 + 2 Looking for good data on the success of early-college students at the bachelor’s level. This one is really an ask of my statistically expert readers. Has anyone seen really good data on the bachelor’s degree success rates of students who did the early-college or middle-college route into community college? The data I can get my hands on don’t disaggregate that way. The students I have in mind are the ones who take a substantial number of community college credits while in high school—30 or more, say—then finish the associate degree at a community college and subsequently transfer to a four-year school. I’d love to see their success rates after they leave the community college. Ideally, success rates would be broken out at least by race, sex, age and Pell status. An even better breakout might include disability status, military veteran status and major (or at least cluster of majors, such as STEM or business). As long as I’m on it, I’d also love to see it broken out by whether the early courses were taught by college faculty or by high school faculty. For a long time, we didn’t have a real critical mass of students to get this information. But I think that, as a sector, we probably do by now. These programs have grown enough, and have been around long enough, that we might be able to rely on what we find. The findings could be useful in any number of ways. If they show that, broadly speaking, the students who did heavy dual enrollment wind up just as strong at the bachelor’s level as those who didn’t, then we’d have an argument for the four-year schools to get more realistic about accepting those credits in transfer. If we find that some demographic groups do fine and others struggle, then we’d know where to start looking to make improvements. If we find that some majors lend themselves quite well and others less well, that could occasion some useful discussions around curriculum and teaching strategies. The problem right now is that everybody is relying, at least in part, on guesswork. I’ve heard very confident assertions that the students coming out of early-college or middle-college programs are just as good if not better than those who started more traditionally, and I’ve heard very confident assertions that the whole enterprise is a scam. In the absence of evidence, it’s hard either to count or to discount one view or the other. To be clear, I assume that everyone involved in these programs is acting in good faith. It’s not about that. I’m just hoping that someone has access to, or knowledge of, a set of statistics that I haven’t seen. And again, I’m looking sectorwide, rather than college by college. Any given school in any given year can be an outlier; here I’m looking for something on a national scale. Wise and worldly readers, does anyone know?

Jury finds University of Kansas professor guilty in a China Initiative case, but the federal program’s many critics aren’t persuaded. In one of the tiny fraction of federal China Initiative–related cases to make it to trial, a jury last week found University of Kansas chemical engineering professor Feng “Franklin” Tao guilty on three counts of wire fraud and one count of making false statements. For the China Initiative’s many critics, the Tao verdict did little to nothing to redeem the now-discontinued counterintelligence program. Michael German, a national security fellow at New York University’s Brennan Center for Justice and a former special agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation who has written critically about the initiative, said in an interview, “I don’t think anyone doubts that the Chinese government engages in a number of different problematic and criminal activities in the United States, including national security espionage as well as academic espionage.” Yet “the problem with the China initiative from its initiation is that it moved the locus of investigations from economic espionage and other state-authorized criminal activities into an area that they called research integrity, which tried to mirror the way national security agencies look at the transfer of national security information into, or onto, fundamental research—which isn’t intended to be enforced by borders.” Case in point: Tao, who was arrested and put on unpaid leave from Kansas in 2019. The federal case against him was mostly about alleged fraud, and it didn’t center on espionage at all: Tao was accused of accepting grant money from the National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy while he was working at Fuzhou University in China, and of not disclosing his ties to Fuzhou. Investigators did find emails between Tao and Fuzhou suggesting that he’d seriously considered a faculty appointment there while he was working at Kansas, but he says he ultimately decided against the move. Peter Zeidenberg, Tao’s lawyer, has said that the federal judge who oversaw Tao’s trial was concerned enough about the verdict to order a briefing about the government’s evidence and to delay scheduling a sentencing hearing. Tao faces up to 20 years in federal prison and a fine of up to $250,000 for wire fraud alone. In an interview Friday, Zeidenberg said he’s represented dozens of clients implicated by the China Initiative since it launched in 2018, and that Tao’s case is a “perfect example” of “how [federal investigators] are criminalizing a failure to disclose perfectly lawful activity. All the activity he’s alleged to have engaged in and kept in China was all lawful; none of its prohibited … I think it is very dangerous and unprecedented, and I think it’s based on overreaction and fear of China.” Zeidenberg said Tao’s federal grants predated by up to five years the alleged job at Fuzhou, and that while there was “nothing to disclose” formally based on this timeline, Tao openly collaborated with Fuzhou and even submitted published articles that were the product of this collaboration to the Energy Department as part of his grant progress reports. Tao’s case did involve one unusual element: he was reported for being a spy by a former graduate student who first allegedly tried to extort him for $300,000 following a disagreement about paper authorship (that graduate student has since returned to China, but she admitted to lying to the FBI before she left, Zeidenberg said). But while Tao only became known to the China Initiative due to the former student, Zeidenberg said, the program has ensnared many other academics with some link to China for making what amount to paperwork errors. Losing Talent German declined to speculate on Tao’s guilt or innocence, given the complexities of the particular case, but he said that when he worked at the FBI, there was a saying among colleagues that “nobody’s administratively pure—that if you look hard enough, you’ll find some mistakes somebody’s made on some government document. But that shouldn’t be the purpose of a federal investigation, right, particularly one that was reported to be focused on economic espionage from the Chinese government.” The Department of Justice has admitted to mission creep and other problems with the China Initiative, and it shut down the program in February, promising to rethink and rebrand it. But not before opening thousands of cases. German and others said that, going forward, the Justice Department needs to consider the impact that merely being under investigation has on academics, and the impact that these investigations have on academe and research more broadly. Gang Chen, a professor of mechanical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for instance, wrote in a January Boston Globe op-ed about his experience with the China Initiative, which ended with federal investigators saying they couldn’t prove the changes against him, namely grant fraud. “Around 6:30 a.m. on Jan. 14, 2021, numerous federal agents stormed into my home, woke my wife and daughter from their sleep, handcuffed me, and put me in jail, charging that, in my role as a professor at MIT, I had failed to disclose funding from various Chinese entities,” he wrote. “There is no winner in what seems to me a politically and racially motivated prosecution: My reputation is tarnished, my family suffered, my institute lost the service of a professor and bore the financial burden of my legal defense, U.S. taxpayers’ money was wasted, the ability of the United States to attract talents from around the world has plummeted, and the scientific community is terrified.” Zeidenberg, Tao’s lawyer, said numerous China Initiative–targeted academics he’s represented have left the U.S. for China or elsewhere, deciding it’s not worth the personal, professional or financial risks of staying and facing being investigated for possible years-old mistakes in their grant records. A major chilling effect on Asian academics was documented in a survey last year, which found, in part, that 42 percent of U.S.-based Chinese scientists said the China Initiative and related investigations had affected their plans to stay in the U.S., compared to 7.1 percent of non-Chinese scientists. Academics are seeing this play out in their own labs, as well. Qin Yan, associate professor of pathology at Yale University—where cell biologist Haifan Lin was suspended and then quietly reinstated this term, after the Justice Department dropped its China Initiative–related case against him—said that “people are not staying because of the whole environment here.” “The newer generation of Chinese students, normally they will come here for overseas training and become postdocs, and many of them will stay and contribute to the U.S. economy and industry and academia. They do a lot,” he said. “But we are losing this pool significantly. Right now, if you ask any labs, they’re recruiting. All of them are talking about, ‘We cannot get postdocs; we cannot get good graduate students because of this.’ So if you’re losing talent for this. The country will be not as competitive as other countries.” Trending Stories Most Shared Stories - The most competitive colleges get more competitive | Inside Higher Ed - Higher education should prepare for five new realities (opinion) | Inside Higher Ed - Professor calls the police on two tardy Black students - 'Breaking Ranks' is a new book that attacks 'U.S. News' | Inside Higher Ed - When Your Job Interferes With Your Work | Inside Higher Ed We have retired comments and introduced Letters to the Editor.

Wisconsin officials are informing college employees, from professors to custodians, that they can get their student loans forgiven through a federal program for which many wrongly assumed they were ineligible. When President Biden extended the pause on student loan repayment again last week, it renewed the debate about the federal Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, in addition to complaints about inefficiencies in how PSLF is administered and inadequate efforts to inform those eligible for it. Rectifying past failures to approve applications and to clarify who is eligible for the program were part of the president’s plan for the previous and current repayment extensions—and part of that failure was due to college faculty, staff and other employees not knowing they were eligible, and considered public service workers, and not being informed of their eligibility by their universities. Despite the extension of the pause on repayments, advocates for student loan borrowers continued to call for bigger and more meaningful changes in the program. “Where we were before was not a coherent place to be,” Persis Yu, policy director for the Student Borrower Protection Center, said during a Twitter Spaces conversation on the day the Biden administration announced the pause on loan repayments. Yu added that even if borrowers were belatedly added to the PSLF program, the most vulnerable people—often people of color from low-income backgrounds now working in low-paying jobs—would still only get limited help. She said the best solution is total debt erasure. “There are a lot of borrowers in the system who just shouldn’t be there anymore,” she said. The Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions has been working since last August to make sure eligible state residents and employees know how to get their student loans forgiven. State officials estimate that between 750,000 and 800,000 Wisconsin residents have student loan debt, which collectively totals $24.2 billion. They say the department’s programs and outreach have chipped away at the widespread distrust and skepticism about PSLF, led borrowers to financial freedom and informed people who were unaware that the program even existed Cheryl Rapp, the department’s college investment program finance officer, recalled a recent conversation with the financial aid director of a state college as an example of the extent of misinterpretation and misunderstanding—including among people tasked with administering the program—about how PSLF works. “I said, ‘Hey, you should talk to your employees and let them know they’re going to qualify because they work in a UW system college,’” Rapp said. “He said, ‘We don’t really qualify.’ I said, ‘You’re in education, you’re a civil servant, you actually qualify and your employees qualify.’ He didn’t feel a need to inform his employees about the Public Service Loan Forgiveness.” She said it took a while to convince the financial aid director that the program was designed for people like him and his employees. “It blew my mind—really, they were in financial aid, and they didn’t understand what this was about,” she said. The disconnect may have been surprising, but it was not unusual. The U.S. Department of Education announced in October that it would improve its methods for finding and informing people who are eligible for PSLF and processing their applications, but the department was still struggling to develop a strategy to do it as of December. Even now, its efforts to contact potential loan-forgiveness applicants has been slow, with the nationwide total of recipients still at just 100,000 as of March. Wisconsin is one of a just few states with a dedicated process for informing employees working in higher education–sector jobs that they are eligible for the PSLF program—and not just those at four-year colleges and universities. “We encompass it all—technical, two-year, apprenticeship, whatever,” Rapp said. Dave Mancl, director of financial literacy at the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions, said those eligible also include “Staff in school districts, staff in universities—they’re not teaching, they’re not faculty, but they’re public employees, so they’re eligible. School counselor, custodian. Everybody.” Rapp, Mancl and others in the department have been holding informational webinars, targeting 260,000 public employees and 215,000 retired public employees, since last August as part of the Wisconsin Strong financial education program. The department has partnered with Savi, a technology company, to create a tool to help borrowers determine their eligibility for loan relief or loan consolidation programs. Mancl said the webinars and other outreach led 1,114 people to register with Savi for guidance on programs like PSLF as of April 7. He said registered users have received an average of $21,294 in loan forgiveness. The troubled history of the federal program, which had rejected some 98 percent of applicants before the Biden administration pledged to overhaul the system, drove away a substantial number of potential loan-forgiveness recipients. Mancl said many people just do not believe that the program will help them, or that their application for it will be accepted. “So we really just have to sound the alarm,” he said. The state of Washington last week signed into law a plan similar to Wisconsin’s that will create and fund agencies and assign staffers and advocates to promote the PSLF program and get more information out to potentially eligible public service workers. Some 767,000 Washington residents have student loan debt, according to state estimates. “This program is a great way to help those who have decided to serve our state, and I’m eager for more folks to benefit from it now that this bill has been signed into law,” State Senator Marko Liias, who introduced the bill, said in a statement. While such efforts by states will likely help more eligible people apply for and receive loan forgiveness, U.S. Senator Patty Murray, who represents Washington State, said the Biden administration would have to radically change its approach in order to reach more people, including by “creating a new Public Service Loan Forgiveness program that works for our public servants,” she said in a statement. “This is not too much to ask for: so I continue to urge the Biden Administration to deliver for student borrowers—and I continue to push the Administration to extend the pause until 2023 to make sure this all gets done before payments resume.” The rewards for those who learn from the webinars that they are eligible are enormous and emotional, Mancl said. Borrowers are often surprised when they go on the website of the U.S. Department of Education to track how much they owe and discover that their public service employment had suddenly cleared their entire debt. “As we were on one webinar,” Mancl said, “People were looking up things on the Department of Education site or their direct loan sites and discovering, ‘I’m getting $17,000 waived. So, I’m done.’ That’s huge money.” Rapp remembered a webinar participant who said she had checked her balance in the morning and saw it was at $120,000, and after applying for forgiveness that same day, she later checked again and her balance was cleared. “She freaked out—she said, ‘Oh my gosh, it got forgiven today. Now it says my loan is 100 percent paid off, forgiven.’ So it’s really cool.” The department plans to keep holding webinars throughout the period of the loan-payment pause because the need is so great and the information is so lacking. When the pause is eventually lifted and payments resume, Rapp and Mancl noted, borrowers who haven’t had to make any loan payments during the last two years because of the pandemic-induced repayment pauses will need to understand how much they actually owe and whether some or all of their balances can be erased through the PSLF program. “It’s a call to action for all the universities,” Mancl said, “because they can help their own employees get money in their pockets. Part of our job is that this is dollars that can come back to Wisconsin, and if you miss it, you miss out. And that would be a shame.” Trending Stories Most Shared Stories - The most competitive colleges get more competitive | Inside Higher Ed - Higher education should prepare for five new realities (opinion) | Inside Higher Ed - Professor calls the police on two tardy Black students - When Your Job Interferes With Your Work | Inside Higher Ed - 'Breaking Ranks' is a new book that attacks 'U.S. News' | Inside Higher Ed We have retired comments and introduced Letters to the Editor.

The former chancellor of the San Mateo County Community College District in California will face felony charges at an arraignment on April 15, according to a press release from the district attorney of San Mateo County. Ronald Galatolo, who served as chancellor of the three-college district from 2001 to 2019, is accused of fraudulently reporting a $10,000 donation to the Santa Rosa Junior College Foundation Fire Relief Fund on his 2017 tax return. Prosecutors allege the donation to support students and staff affected by the local Tubbs fire was not made by Galatolo but by the San Mateo County Community College District Foundation. Prosecutors also claim Galatolo hired construction vendors that gave him gifts, such as tickets for concerts, sporting events and international travel, which he failed to disclose. He allegedly purchased expensive classic cars and underreported the price to the Department of Motor Vehicles, as well. The charges against Galatolo come after the district attorney brought felony charges against the district’s former vice chancellor of facilities Jose Nunez in December 2021. He pleaded guilty to two of the charges. A whistle-blower complaint about corruption among district leadership in 2019 prompted the investigations.

April 11, 2022 Faculty members at HACC, Central Pennsylvania’s Community College, have voted to unionize with the Pennsylvania State Education Association, Penn Live reported. Voting in favor of the union were 335 of the 533 votes. Organizers cited a deteriorating relationship between the faculty and the administration as a key reason for the union. “The faculty have made their decision, and we respect that,” said HACC president and CEO John J. Sygielski. “We will work with the PSEA to reach a fair and equitable contract from both the college’s and faculty’s standpoint.” We have retired comments and introduced Letters to the Editor.

Rice University is restoring a mandatory masking policy in the classroom for all students. Instructors may remove their masks while lecturing. The university also ordered the cancellation of “large college parties” this past weekend. Kevin E. Kirby, chair of Rice’s Crisis Management Advisory Committee and vice president for administration, wrote to faculty, staff and students with the rationale for the changes. “We constantly monitor the COVID-19 situation on campus, which has been quite encouraging over the past two months,” Kirby wrote. “But over the past few days, there’s been a significant rise in the number of positive cases reported in our community—about 145. Over 90 percent of the positive cases are undergraduates, with about half occurring in two residential colleges. The vast majority of these positive test results have been reported not through Rice testing, but rather through the self-administered antigen tests that were distributed across campus earlier this semester. While most of the people who tested positive have symptoms, we know of no serious illness among Rice community members.” This article is part of our COVID-19 LIVE Coverage » We have retired comments and introduced Letters to the Editor.

While mental health worsened among all student groups during the COVID-19 pandemic, students of color were particularly vulnerable, according to a new study that documents inequalities in mental health care between 2013 and 2021. The study, published by the Journal of Affective Disorders, found that in 2020–21, more than 60 percent of students met the criteria for one or more mental health problems—a nearly 50 percent increase from 2013. American Indian/Alaskan Native students experienced the largest increases in depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation and other mental health conditions, the survey found. Arab American students experienced a 22 percent increase in meeting criteria for one or more mental health problems, yet the share of those students seeking treatment fell by 18 percent. And multiracial students saw a 45 percent increase in the prevalence of one or more mental health problems, while the rate of those receiving treatment only grew 9 percent from 2013 to 2021. The study analyzed data from more than 350,000 students at 373 campuses that participated in the Healthy Minds Study, an annual web-based survey examining mental health, between 2013 and 2021. Among students meeting the criteria for one or more mental health problems, the share getting mental health treatment increased by 24 percent between 2013 and 2021. Yet the highest annual rate of those students getting mental health treatment among Asian, Black and Latinx students was consistently at or below the lowest rate for white students. In 2020–21, 55.8 percent of white students who met the criteria for a mental health problem sought treatment, compared to 50.7 percent of multiracial students, 48.3 percent of American Indian/Alaskan Native students, 40.2 percent of Arab American students, 37.7 percent of Black students and 35.9 percent of Latinx students.

A lawsuit filed Friday charged that Rutgers University rigged the M.B.A. rankings of U.S. News & World Report by having a temp agency hire unemployed alumni to work at the university, NJ.com reported. The suit was filed by Deidre White, the business school’s human resources manager. Her lawyer, Matthew A. Luber, wrote that “the fraud worked,” because in the first year of the scheme, Rutgers was propelled to, among other things, the ranking of No. 1 business school in the Northeast. The university said it doesn’t comment on litigation. But “we will say without equivocation, however, that we take seriously our obligation to accurately report data and other information to ranking and reporting agencies,” the university said. “The Rutgers Business School strictly follows the M.B.A. Career Services & Employer Alliance guidelines in submitting M.B.A. statistics and similarly follows the appropriate guidelines in submitting undergraduate statistics.” In December, Moshe Porat, former dean of the Fox Business School at Temple University, was convicted of wire fraud for submitting false data to U.S. News for rankings.

Walden University has been sued in federal court for preying on minorities and women and misrepresenting the costs and credits required for getting an advanced degree, The New York Times reported. Walden intentionally stretched out the process of completing a capstone project, requiring students to re-enroll for semesters, paying tuition while they waited for approval from a three-member committee, the suit said, adding that the university overcharged students by more than $28.5 million. “Walden lured in students with the promise of an affordable degree, then strung them along to increase profits,” said Aaron Ament, the president of the National Student Legal Defense Network. “As if that’s not bad enough, Walden specifically targeted Black students and women for this predatory program, masking its discrimination as a focus on diversity.” Walden said the suit was a “baseless and inflammatory attempt to repackage Walden’s school mission into calculated discrimination.” We have retired comments and introduced Letters to the Editor.

Francisca Trigueros has worked as a custodian for the psychology department at the University of Southern California, through Aramark, for two decades. The Los Angeles Times reported that she was recently fired and that faculty members and others don’t like the explanation—she was fired for allegedly stealing a backpack with cash in it, but she denies this. Trigueros said that she found the backpack and the office where she would have turned it in was empty, so she was saving the backpack, not stealing it. Psychology professors believe her. “After an investigation involving the police and our HR team, the person in question was found to be in violation of our policies regarding lost and found items and is no longer with the company,” Aramark spokesman Chris Collom said in an email.

Williams College has had no direct investments in fossil fuel companies for years. However, the college does have indirect investments, through investments in funds, in the companies. In a letter to the campus from President Maud S. Mandel, she announced that the investments are small. “Williams currently has approximately 4 percent invested in real asset funds, some of which are in projects related to fossil fuels,” Mandel wrote. “The college has not made any new investments in these funds since 2019 and this past fall, as part of its regular business to direct the college’s investment strategy, the Board of Trustees’ Investment Committee committed to maintaining that strategy going forward, which means there will be no new investments in funds engaged in oil and gas extraction. Our remaining investments in current funds will thus phase out over time, a process that we anticipate will be complete by 2033, once these partnerships are liquidated.” Mandel added, “I have been reluctant to write a letter announcing such changes to the portfolio both because the process we and other schools have launched will take years to complete, and because I am skeptical that these changes or a statement about them will have any direct impact on the climate crisis. As long as the globe relies on carbon based sources of energy, companies will continue to produce fossil fuels and investors will continue to supply resources to those companies, even while we and many of our peer institutions do not.” We have retired comments and introduced Letters to the Editor.

David Wippman and Glenn C. Altschuler write that the pandemic has helped fuel growing government intervention in higher ed. For much of the past century, institutions of higher education have been described—and often derided—as ivory towers, detached from practical concerns. In reality, colleges and universities have always been enmeshed in issues facing the broader society. During the pandemic, interconnections with, dependence on and sometimes interference from federal, state and local governments and agencies have grown substantially. The implications for the future are significant, because while the pandemic may recede, political interference is likely to accelerate. After most colleges and universities shifted to remote instruction in March 2020, many states issued detailed requirements for reopening. Along with general requirements for employees’ return to offices, for example, New York set out higher education–specific rules on physical distancing, protective equipment, hygiene, cleaning and disinfection, communication, and health screening. Colleges and universities had to submit reopening plans meeting state standards before resuming in-person instruction, and then they had to adapt to constantly changing requirements on everything from isolation and quarantine rules to the size of gatherings. Colleges and universities have worked closely with county health departments to manage case numbers and limit outbreaks, often including detailed discussions of room volumes, air refresh rates and quarantine protocols. When coronavirus cases swamped the capacity of local health departments to conduct contact tracing, many colleges and universities implemented their own tracing programs. Some also partnered with local officials on wastewater testing and, in one case, piloted a shortened isolation program. Still other institutions made their testing and vaccination sites available to their local communities and housed medical personnel or individuals needing medical services. University research has been indispensable in informing the public health response to COVID-19, and, of course, university training has equipped scientists, doctors and other health-care personnel who are developing COVID-19 vaccines and treatments and assisting those who fall ill. University experts also provide much of the data, expertise and advice that the public relies on for understanding the pandemic and its social, political, psychological and economic ramifications. In turn, colleges and universities struggling with the financial burdens of the pandemic and, in many cases, related declines in enrollment, room and board revenues, and other income, have benefited greatly from federal financial support, with hundreds of institutions receiving millions funding from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and other sources. These entangled alliances have had their downsides. Outbreaks on some college campuses spread rapidly into surrounding communities. And the college communities that typically benefit greatly from the economic activity generated by institutional and student spending struggled financially when colleges and universities shuttered their campuses and shifted to remote learning, with local businesses closing and tax revenues plunging. In an era of deep partisan polarization, it is not surprising that regulatory responses to the pandemic would both reflect and reinforce political divisions. As a result, in some states, such as Florida and Arizona, efforts by public universities to manage the pandemic have been hampered by executive orders and state laws restricting or prohibiting vaccine mandates and mask requirements. More broadly, disagreements over pandemic policies and public dissatisfaction with higher education have converged with other social and political forces to embolden some legislators and governors to intervene directly in areas once reserved for educators. The pandemic, it appears, has helped loosen constraints on politicized regulation, not just of pandemic protocols, but also of research, the curriculum and even tenure decisions. At the University of Florida, which may be the canary in the coal mine, some faculty complained that normal procedures were bypassed to grant tenure to Florida’s new surgeon general, Dr. Joseph Ladapo, a Governor Ron DeSantis appointee with controversial views on COVID-19 policy. Even more striking, three professors were refused permission to testify in court proceedings against new voting laws supported by DeSantis and the state Legislature. In October, the Georgia Board of Regents adopted a new policy making it easier to remove tenured faculty, a move that coincided with faculty pushback over a state ban on mask mandates. In addition, a growing number of states have recently restricted the teaching of concepts loosely associated with critical race theory, prompting renewed debates about academic freedom. As we have pointed out elsewhere, these restrictions represent part of a broader “struggle to shape Americans’ understanding of our country’s history, institutions and values” in a clash between a progressive antiracist agenda and conservative resistance to that agenda. Meanwhile, challenges to higher education admission practices are escalating. In January, the Supreme Court agreed to hear cases involving race-conscious admission policies at Harvard University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In February, legislation was introduced in Congress to prohibit institutions that take part in federal financial aid programs from considering legacy status in admissions. Similar bills have been introduced in several states, and a proposed New York State bill would go even further, banning both legacy admissions and early-decision programs. For better or worse, and, alas, often for both, colleges and universities are inextricably part of our nation’s polarized political environment and increasingly in the crosshairs of local, state and federal authorities. While, at least for the moment, hospitalizations and deaths from COVID-19 have declined substantially, it seems that unwelcome, and in our view, unwise, government regulation in higher education—as well as in K-12 public schools—is becoming endemic.

FLORENCE COUNTY, S.C. (WBTW) – South Carolina’s low eviction filing fee has created an intense power imbalance between renters and landlords, according to housing advocates and organizations. “Our eviction process in South Carolina is really cheap,” said Adam Protheroe, a litigation attorney for the South Carolina Appleseed Legal Justice Center. “I can’t say we’re the cheapest in the nation. We are pretty close.” It costs landlords $40 to file to evict a tenant. That low fee, Protheroe said, means the process isn’t being used for what it’s intended for. Instead of being used to remove someone from a property, it’s being used as way to collect rent – leading to serial filings against the same tenants. Those court records are public, easily accessible and permanent, which can limit a renter’s future housing options – even if they were never actually evicted. South Carolina had the highest eviction rate in the nation in 2016, at 19% of renters, according to Marketplace. That rose to 25.7% in 2019. Numbers on evictions can be hard to find, since most states don’t track the data, according to Eviction Lab, an organization that collects eviction statistics. The data that Eviction Lab has for South Carolina shows vast differences in eviction filing rates across the state. In 2016 – the most recent statistics available – eviction filing rates ranged drastically by county. Statewide, there are 112 evictions a day, an eviction court filing rate of 18.7% and an eviction rate of 8.87%. The poverty rate is 13.49%, and the average South Carolinian spends 31.1% of their income on rent. In Anderson, Lexington, Florence, Berkeley, Horry, Charleston and Richland counties, more than six people are evicted a day on average. Eviction data was not available for eight counties. Eviction filings were above 20% in Laurens, Berkeley, Greenwood, Richland, Marion, Dorchester, Cherokee and Florence county. In Florence County, 39.06% of rents face an eviction filing each year – the highest rate in the state. More than one out of every 10 tenants was evicted from their residence in 12 counties. The highest rate was in Cherokee County, where 16.41% of renters were evicted. However, the areas with the highest poverty rates don’t have the highest eviction rates. The poorest county with eviction data available, Marlboro County, has a poverty rate of 24.34% and a rent burden of 31.9%, but ranks in about the middle for its eviction filing and eviction rate. The same goes for Williamsburg and Chester counties. Eviction Lab has also found that Black renters were more likely to have an eviction filing against them and be evicted. A handful of buildings are responsible for the bulk of the state’s eviction cases. One Greenville complex made 347 eviction filings in court between March 15, 2020, and December 2021. Another in the area made 284 filings. Eviction Lab gave South Carolina a 2.3 out of five for its COVID-19 eviction policies, noting that while there were almost no eviction filings during the temporary eviction moratorium in 2020, tenants could still be evicted unless they proved they were unable to pay rent due to financial hardship. And while landlords weren’t able to remove those people from the properties, they were still able to charge late fees and were able to raise rent when renewing leases. Overall, Eviction Lab states that South Carolina’s laws “are well outside the norm when it comes to landlord-tenant relations.” There’s a spike in eviction filings around the 10th of every month, according to Protheroe. In 2019, there were 68 cases filed in March in Horry County. In 2021, that was 29, and it returned to 52 this year. Protheroe said housing advocates were concerned about a possible spike when the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention moratorium ended. “That really hasn’t happened,” he said. “It has been more of a slow swell, it seems like, but filings are maybe only part of the story.” When a case is filed in court doesn’t always reflect when a renter is actually evicted. Protheroe said most eviction filings end up being settled, which means that a tenant moved out or paid rent and is allowed to stay. But with out-of-court settlements, it’s hard to tell what an increase in filing really means. Landlords can file to evict a tenant for three reasons – not paying rent, violating their lease or if the lease has ended, the landlord hasn’t extended it and the tenant hasn’t left. Landlords are legally required to tell the tenant that they have five days to fix the problem before they file for eviction. Most of the cases Protheroe won for tenants when he worked in legal services were because a landlord hadn’t given proper notice before filing to evict. But tenants who end up paying their rent can still be evicted, he warns, unless the landlord drops the case. “The problem is if the tenant is behind, by the time the landlord files, legally, it doesn’t matter if the tenant gets caught up after, the landlord still has the right to evict,” Protheroe said. He warns renters to make sure that case is dismissed, and not to ignore it and assume that it was. Withholding rent due to repairs can be tricky. “That is pretty much always a bad idea,” he said. The reason is that it’s hard to have a legal defense about how much should be withheld. If possible, he recommends talking to a lawyer. “Eviction cases move fast, they move super fast, and trying to raise the repair issues to prove the damages is really difficult,” he said. “Once those wheels start turning, they are really hard to slow down.” If a tenant doesn’t pay the rent by their deadline, a landlord has to give a tenant a five-day notice to do so. The notice isn’t required if a lease has in writing that no written notice will be given if rent is late. Assuming the renter fights the eviction, the entire process takes only weeks. If a renter requests one, a court hearing is held within 10 days of the filing. If the renter loses their case in court, then the court will issue a writ of ejectment that gives the tenant five days to move. Nowhere else in the court system do things move that quickly, he said, and so cheaply, creating an extreme power imbalance between landlords and renters. Legislative change at the state level is unlikely. “[Bills] tend to not get a lot of traction,” Protheroe said. “There is not a lot of support at the statehouse for those types of reforms.” The situation isn’t getting any better. Information from the Pee Dee Realtor Association shows that despite more homes being put up for sale in the Florence area, the median price of a home increased by 17% from 2021 to 2022, leading to half of homes for sale being priced at more than $214,000. That was $156,000 in February 2019. Additionally, 2021 data from the SC Housing Needs Assessment shows that 31% of households are considered to be in shelter poverty, and that a basic two-bedroom apartment is not considered affordable in 40 of the state’s 46 counties. From 2000 to 2019, the median household income went up by 51.6% in the state, while the median rent went up by 80.8%. The median cost of a single-family home increased by 89.5% statewide during that same time. The “housing wage” is $17.30, according to the data, but most South Carolinians make $13.52 an hour. Among the 30 most-common jobs in the state, 20 have an hourly wage that is below that mark. To afford a one-bedroom apartment, a South Carolinian would have to make $14.83. There’s always going to be less affordable housing than what’s needed, according to Chris Winston, the chief communications officer for SC Housing, an organization that provides emergency assistance to prevent homelessness and is involved in efforts to increase the amount of safe, decent and affordable housing in the state. There were 15,000 people who used its programs between April 2020 and April 2021 in Horry County. The SC Stay Plus program, which provided pandemic assistance, helped more than 20,000 people in the state. A portion of the population is still struggling to pay rent due to the pandemic, Winston said, and for those who were already struggling to make rent, even a small economic backslide can cause large impacts that are hard to recover from. He said builders want a return on their investments, which leads to the creation of “luxury” apartments that feature hardwood floors and vaulted ceilings. With the costs of lumber and other supplies increasing, it’s even more difficult to incentivize developers to create affordable housing. Those projects often face resistance from existing residents, who have a “not in my backyard” mindset that’s due to misconceptions, Winston said. “When people hear ‘affordable housing,’ they have a picture that comes to mind of what that is going to mean, and our position is that that’s an inaccurate picture, and we need to tell a better job of what those developments are and who live there,” he said, noting that residents in those projects include single mothers and the elderly. Traffic is also often cited as a reason for opposing the developments. But when areas are matched well to place affordable housing next to jobs, he said, it doesn’t lead to more congestion. “We want to build this housing where people will live and work in the same community,” Winston said.

On Monday the respective legal forces behind Johnny Depp and Amber Heard will kick off a trial over accusations of defamation. Depp is suing Heard for $50 million after she wrote a 2018 op-ed about her alleged experience as a survivor of domestic violence. She is countersuing for $100 million. If these facts have induced a sense of déjà vu, it’s wholly warranted. The pair has been here, by which I mean a courtroom defamation trial, before. Depp and Heard’s aughts-to-teens relationship cycled through some familiar-sounding beats of a Hollywood marriage—meet-cute on a film set, marriage, decline, divorce. But its drawn-out ending has become something very rare in the realm of celebrity mega-couples, especially in a post-conscious-uncoupling world. Heard alleged that she had been the victim of domestic violence, and Depp sued the parent company of The Sun in Great Britain for defamation over a headline that read, “GONE POTTY How Can J.K. Rowling be ‘genuinely happy’ casting wife beater Johnny Depp in the new Fantastic Beasts film?” Over the course of the lawsuit, Heard took the stand to testify that the name the paper called him—“wife beater”—was by and large true. The lows of their marriage were splashed across many more headlines on this continent and that one, and discovery in the case revealed some of the darkest moments of their lives together. Depp ultimately lost. (Depp and his team continue to maintain that Heard’s allegations of domestic violence against him are a “hoax.”) So when Depp and Heard convene in a Virginia courtroom this week, it’s an essentially unprecedented event in the annals of celebrity divorce—a second defamation lawsuit that looks a lot like the first one, though with some important caveats. And it has both legal and P.R. observers captivated. “It’s such a remarkable thing, because [Depp] felt perhaps like he was doing something to preserve his reputation or his marketability, but his actions have produced a complete opposite result,” Evan Nierman, founder of Red Banyan, which specializes in crisis P.R., told Vanity Fair. “Which is part of what makes this whole thing so fascinating.” Depp and his team however see this lawsuit as another chance for redemption in the public eye. “This case being brought to trial is proof that the court acknowledges the notable amount of preliminary wins, evidence, and witnesses in support of Johnny,” a spokesperson for Depp told Vanity Fair. “To decline the opportunity to clear one’s name and allow someone taking advantage of the system to walk away with zero repercussions would be careless and set a dangerous precedent for similar situations in the future.” Heard’s side agrees the trial will have a lasting legacy, but for completely different reasons. “We believe in the end, the jury will view all the evidence—which is even greater than what was presented in the U.K.—and come to the same conclusion the U.K. court did—that Johnny Depp inflicted violence and abuse on Amber, at times causing her to fear for her life,” a source familiar with Heard’s team told Vanity Fair. “A jury verdict against Johnny will send a message to the millions of women out there who suffer from intimate partner violence every single day, that they can move safely on with their lives. And it will allow Amber to move on as well.” Heard announced on Sunday that she was taking a break social media for the duration of the trial. “Johnny is suing me for an op-ed I wrote in the Washington Post, in which I recounted my experience of violence and domestic abuse,” she wrote on Instagram. “I never named him, rather I wrote about the price women pay for speaking against men in power. I continue to pay that price, but hopefully, when this case concludes, I can move on and so can Johnny.” The couple’s case has gone on for so long and presented so many tabloid beats that it is worth remembering how it came to this. Depp and Heard met on the set of The Rum Diaries in 2009. It was a pet project for Depp based on a book by his friend, Hunter S. Thompson. She was in her early 20s and he in his mid-40s at the time. They were both in long-term relationships, she with artist Tasya Van Ree and he with singer Vanessa Paradis (with whom he shares two children). They separated from their respective partners and began dating in 2012. By 2014 she was wearing a diamond engagement ring, and by 2015 they were married in a private ceremony at his Los Angeles home, plus another one at his private island in the Bahamas, as People reported at the time. The marriage was short; Heard filed for divorce a little more than a year later. She also obtained a temporary restraining order, accusing Depp of assaulting her. In turn, Depp accused her, through his attorney, of “alleging abuse” in order to “secure a premature financial resolution” (Heard has denied all accusations of lying, and Depp has denied all claims of assault against his ex-wife). When they settled the matter they released a joint statement. “Our relationship was intensely passionate and at times volatile, but always bound by love,” it read. “Neither party has made false accusations for financial gain. There was never any intent of physical or emotional harm.” Heard received $7 million in a divorce settlement after rescinding both the restraining order and a request for $50,000 a month in spousal support. In August 2016, she said she was donating the $7 million to charity, to be split equally between Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and the American Civil Liberties Union. “As reported in the media, the amount received in the divorce was $7 million and $7 million is being donated,” Heard said in a statement at the time. Depp’s team had already raised this pledge, and whether or not Heard carried it out, in his unsuccessful appeal in the U.K., and it’ll factor into its strategy in the U.S., with some new insight into donor records, according to a source close to Depp.

Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson spent some quality time together on the set of Saturday Night Live, but the reality star revealed that she and her new boyfriend actually initially struck up a friendship at the Met Gala a month earlier. In the premiere episode of her family's new Hulu reality show, The Kardashians, the Skims founder signs on to host the comedy show, revealing that she texted Davidson for advice after they first struck up a friendship at the Met Gala in September 2021. “I ran into Pete Davidson at the Met and I was like, ‘I am so scared. I don’t know what I signed up for,'” she explained of their first encounter. “And he’s like, ‘Can you read cue cards? You’re good. You’re good.'” Kardashian then went on to host SNL on October 9 during which she and Davidson shared their first kiss on camera during a sketch where he played Aladdin to her Princess Jasmine. The reality star has been opening up more and more about her new romance in the weeks leading up to the premiere of her new show. During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last week, Kardashian also shared that her boyfriend gave her something very meaningful from that unusual first kiss for Valentine's Day. She explained, “Actually, for Valentine’s Day, he got me the rug and the whole outfits and the little genie lamp. So I do own the rug.” And while Kardashian and Davidson did make their official debut as a couple on the red carpet at The Kardashians premiere, she says he won't appear on camera in the show's first season. The billionaire explained to Variety last month that the series does explore their relationship, but she has “not filmed with him,” although she's also “not opposed to it. It’s just not what he does. But if there was an event happening and he was there, he wouldn’t tell the cameras to get away. I think I might film something really exciting coming, but it wouldn’t be for this season.” — See All the Red-Carpet Fashion From the 2022 Oscars — Inside Vanity Fair’s Oscar After-Party — The Life and Confessions of Mob Chef David Ruggerio — The West’s Fairy-Tale Fetishization of Russia — Prince Andrew’s First Public Appearance With the Queen — All of the Looks From the Vanity Fair Oscar Party — Inside the Frenzied World of Rare Watches and the Rich People Who Love Them — Mark Seliger’s Vanity Fair Oscar Party Portraits — 15 Best Hyaluronic Acid Serums for Plump, Hydrated Skin — From the Archive: Sarma Melngailis, the Runaway Vegan — Sign up for “The Buyline” to receive a curated list of fashion, books, and beauty buys in one weekly newsletter.
