(NEXSTAR) – For fans of NBC’s “The Office,” the cold open from season five’s “Casual Friday” – where Kevin spills his famous chili – is one of the show’s most beloved scenes. If you’re one of those super-fans, you may want to check out an Easter egg found on NBC’s streaming platform.
During the iconic cold open, Kevin Malone, played by Brian Baumgartner, is seen struggling to carry a large pot of chili from the parking lot up the stairs and into the office. As he carries the pot, Kevin says that at least once a year, he likes to bring in some of “Kevin’s famous chili.”
He explains the process of making the chili following a “recipe passed down from Malones for generations,” noting that he’s “up the night before” making it. Kevin, known as a clumsier character in the show, even adds that “it’s probably the thing I do best.”
Unfortunately for Kevin, just as he enters the office, he drops the pot of chili, spilling it all over the floor. He then frantically tries to put the chili back into the pot, to no avail.
While viewers never got to see “The Office” characters enjoy Kevin’s famous chili, an Easter egg originally found by a TikTok user in a hardly-read document is giving fans the chance to make their own.
Within Peacock’s Terms of Use, under section nine, you’ll find “the chili recipe inspired by Kevin Malone’s legendary family dish.” It even includes ancho chilis and the Malone secret: undercook the onions. Here’s what it says:
Ingredients
- 4 dried ancho chiles
- 2 Tbs neutral oil (vegetable, canola or grapeseed)
- 3 lbs ground beef (80/20 or 85/15 lean)
- 2 medium yellow onions, finely chopped
- 6 cloves garlic
- 1 large jalapeño, finely chopped
- 1 Tbs dried oregano
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 Tbs tomato paste
- 2 12 oz. bottles of beer (lager or pale ale)
- 3 cans Pinto beans, drained and rinsed
- 3 cups beef stock
- 2 ½ cups chopped ripe tomatoes
- 2 Tbs kosher salt
- Chopped scallions, shredded Jack cheese and sour cream for topping
Directions
- Tear ancho chiles into pieces, discarding seeds and stems. In a large heavy pot or Dutch oven, toast chiles over medium-high, stirring occasionally until very fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer toasted ancho chiles to a food processor or spice mill and process until very finely ground. Set aside.
- Add oil to pot and heat over medium-high. Add ground beef and cook, stirring occasionally to break beef into small pieces, until well browned (about 6 minutes). Using a slotted spoon, transfer beef to a plate and set aside.
- Add onion to pot and cook briefly over medium-high until barely softened, about 2 minutes. The secret is to undercook the onions.
- Using a garlic press, press garlic directly into the pot, 1 clove at a time. Then stir in jalapeños, oregano, cumin, cayenne pepper and tomato paste. Stir and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add beer and continue to cook, stirring and scraping the pan, about 7 minutes.
- Meanwhile, put beans in a large bowl and mash briefly with a potato masher until broken up but not fully mashed.
- Add mashed beans, stock, tomatoes, salt, and cooked beef to pot. Cover and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low to maintain simmer and cook 2 hours so everything gets to know each other in the pot. Remove from heat, uncover and let stand at least 1 hour (can also be refrigerated 8 hours or overnight).
- Reheat gently, taste and add more salt if necessary, and serve with your favorite toppings. We recommend chopped scallions, shredded Jack cheese and sour cream.
The chili you make may not exactly look like what Kevin spills on the floor – which was accomplished in one take, Baumgartner said in an episode of “Office Ladies,” a podcast hosted by his co-stars Angela Kinsey and Jenna Fischer. Instead, “The Office” actually used several cans of spicy chili, Fischer explained in the same podcast episode.
Peacock has hidden a recipe in its user agreement before. According to Today, when the streaming service launched in 2020, a recipe for chocolate cake was found in one of the document’s subsections. | https://www.krqe.com/entertainment-news/read-the-fine-print-the-office-easter-egg-hidden-in-nbcs-user-agreement/ | 2022-03-14T16:27:40 | en | 0.92816 |
WASHINGTON (AP) — Eight-year-old Brooklynn Chiles fidgets on the hospital bed as she waits for the nurse at Children’s National Hospital. The white paper beneath her crinkles as she shifts to look at the medical objects in the room. She’s had the coronavirus three times, and no one can figure out why.
Brooklynn’s lucky, sort of. Each time she has tested positive, she has suffered no obvious symptoms. But her dad, Rodney, caught the virus — possibly from her — when she was positive back in September, and he died from it.
Her mom, Danielle, is dreading a next bout, fearing her daughter could become gravely ill even though she’s been vaccinated.
“Every time, I think: Am I going to go through this with her, too?” she said, sitting on a plastic chair wedged in the corner. “Is this the moment where I lose everyone?”
Among the puzzling outcomes of the coronavirus, which has killed more than 6 million people worldwide since it first emerged in 2019, are the symptoms suffered by children.

More than 12.7 million children in the U.S. alone have tested positive for COVID-19 since the pandemic began, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. Generally, the virus doesn’t hit kids as severely as adults.
But, as with some adults, there are still bizarre outcomes. Some youngsters suffer unexplained symptoms long after the virus is gone, what’s often called long COVID. Others get reinfected. Some seem to recover fine, only to be struck later by a mysterious condition that causes severe organ inflammation.
And all that can come on top of grieving for loved ones killed by the virus and other interruptions to a normal childhood.
Doctors at Children’s National and multiple other hospitals getting money from the National Institutes of Health are studying the long-term effects of COVID-19 on children.
The ultimate goal is to evaluate the impact on children’s overall health and development, both physically and mentally — and tease out how their still-developing immune systems respond to the virus to learn why some fare well and others don’t.
Children’s has about 200 kids up to age 21 enrolled in the study for three years, and it takes on about two new patients each week. The study involves children who have tested positive and those who have not, such as siblings of sick kids. The subjects range from having no symptoms to requiring life support in intensive care. On their first visit, participants get a full day of testing, including an ultrasound of their heart, blood work and lung function testing.
Dr. Roberta DeBiasi, who runs the study, said its main purpose is to define the myriad complications that children might get after COVID-19 and how common those complications are.
Brooklynn is one study subject. So is 3-year-old Alyssa Carpenter, who has had COVID-19 twice and gets strange fevers that break out unexpectedly, and other unusual symptoms. Her feet sometimes turn bright red and sting with pain. Or she’ll lie down and point her little fingers to her chest and say, “It hurts.”
Her parents, Tara and Tyson Carpenter, have two other daughters, 5-year-old Audrey and 9-year-old Hailey, who is on the autism spectrum. As for many parents, the pandemic has been a nightmare of missed school, unproductive work, restrictions and confusion. But on top of all the anxiety so many parents feel lies the concern for their toddler. They don’t know how to help her.
“It was just super frustrating,” says Tara Carpenter, who is quick to add that no one’s to blame. “We’re trying to find out answers for our kid and nobody could give us any. And it just was really frustrating.”
Alyssa would wail in pain from her red burning feet or whimper quietly. She’d come down with a fever, but suffer no other symptoms and be sent home from school for days, ruining Carpenter’s work week. But then in ballet class, with her pink tights and tutu, she’d seem totally normal.
In the past few months, symptoms have started to subside and it’s giving the family some relief.
“After the fact, what do we do about this?” asks Tara Carpenter. “We don’t know. We literally don’t know.”
For some families in the study, the child suffering from long COVID is the easy one during the hospital visits.
One recent day, another family finds that it’s the older sister Charlie who dissolves into tears because she doesn’t want blood drawn while younger sister Lexie, used to being prodded by nurses and doctors, hops up on the table. The family dynamics of COVID-19 are tough: The sibling with the illness may get more attention, which can create problems for the others. Exhausted parents struggle with how to help all their children.
In their work-ups, the children receive full medical check-ins. They also receive a full psychological assessment, run by Dr. Linda Herbert.
Herbert asks the kids about fatigue, sleep, pain, anxiety, depression and peer relationships. Do they have memory concerns? Are they having a hard time keeping things in their brains?
“There’s this constellation of symptoms,” she said. “Some kids are incredibly anxious about getting COVID again.”
She said psychological symptoms are among the most common, and it’s not just the kids with COVID-19, it’s their siblings and parents, too.
Danielle Chiles feels the stress. She’s a single mother working full time, grieving the loss of her partner and trying not to seem too depressed in front of her daughter. The decision to enroll her daughter Brooklynn in the study was motivated by wanting to draw attention to the need for vaccines, particularly in the Black community.
“My baby keeps getting it,” she said. “Can’t the people around us try to protect her?”
Brooklynn whimpers when she hears she has to get blood drawn: “Do you have to?”
“Yes, baby,” the nurse says. “It’s so we can figure all this out.”
“If her daddy was here, he’d take her to Dave & Busters after this,” Chiles says, before lowering her voice so her daughter can’t hear what she’s going to say. Her husband, Rodney Chiles, wasn’t vaccinated.
He had qualms, like many do, about the vaccine and was waiting to get it. Shortly after Brooklynn tested positive during the run of the delta variant, he started feeling sick and went downhill fast. Chiles had pre-existing conditions, too, which accelerated his death. He was 42.
“And then he called us on a Sunday. He was like, ‘They are about to intubate me because I can’t keep my oxygen up. And I love y’all and Brooklynn, forgive me,’” she said. It was the last time he talked to them before he died.
“I’ll tell you what,” Danielle Chiles says. “The only reason I’m still here is because I have a child.”
On school days, Chiles picks up Brooklynn from Rocketship Rise Academy Public Charter School in Southeast Washington. They walk hand-in-hand to the car for a short ride before she resumes working for a nonprofit organization.
One recent day after school, as Chiles had a Zoom meeting in her bedroom office, Brooklynn munched popcorn and talked about how she and her dad bought a pair of tennis shoes and balloons for her mom last year on Mother’s Day. They forgot her mom’s shoe size and they had to come back home and check the size. She giggles as she tells it.
In her room, there’s a big photo of her dad and her, though she usually sleeps in bed with her mom now.
“Even though kids aren’t as sick, they are losing,” said Chiles. “They’re losing parents, social lives, entire years. Yes, kids are resilient, but they can’t go on like this. No one is this resilient.” | https://www.krqe.com/health/coronavirus/for-some-kids-covid-19-causes-bizarre-outcomes/ | 2022-03-14T16:27:46 | en | 0.977856 |
(NewsNation) — “I just tested positive for COVID,” former President Barack Obama posted said in a Twitter post Sunday.
The 44th president of the United States said, “I’ve had a scratchy throat for a couple days, but am feeling fine otherwise.”
“Michelle and I are grateful to be vaccinated and boosted, and she has tested negative,” he continued.
Obama’s tweet comes as the world is finally emerging from a stretch of winter dominated by the highly contagious omicron variant, bringing a sense of relief on the two-year anniversary of the start of the pandemic.
“It’s a reminder to get vaccinated if you haven’t already, even as cases go down,” he said.

NEW YORK (StudyFinds.org) – Checking in on their finances is the one of the last things on these millennials’ minds. A survey examining how 2,000 millennials manage their money reveals the average young adult spends nearly 150 more hours a year scrolling through social media than monitoring their finances!
That’s not the only activity they seem to prioritize ahead of their cash — or lack thereof. They’re also more likely to play with their pets or search for a new TV show to stream than checking on their money every week.
In fact, being on top of their finances came last on a list of activities millennials spend time doing — including deciding what’s for dinner or caring for their plants.

Set it and forget it
Finances appear to be a touchy subject for millennials, with more than a quarter of respondents admitting they only check their bank account balance once a week (27%). Nearly half are unsure of the amount of money currently in their bank account (45%).
Conducted by OnePoll in partnership with Upwise, the survey found that the ease of making payments automatically may contribute to the lack of awareness around their finances. Millennials use their cell phones, tablets, or computers to enroll an average of five monthly bills in “auto-pay” – an automatic payment system used to track monthly costs.
More than half of respondents who use the feature admit they rely on “auto-pay” to pay their bills (57%) because of its convenience (45%), it helps them save money (39%), or because they have fewer worries about making late payments (38%). Four in five millennials say they’re more likely to make impulsive purchases because they trust “auto-pay” will keep track of their bills (81%).
This may explain why millennials are looking to take more control of their finances. In fact, more than half (51%) say they would feel more in control of their finances if they relied less on “auto-pay,” and three-quarters don’t want to rely on others for money.
Pandemic debt is piling up for millennials
Four in five also think it’s important to develop good financial habits at a young age, but it’s not too late for those looking to be more in control of their finances now.
“Taking control of your finances isn’t just a matter of keeping up with your monthly expenses; it’s also about taking a proactive role in managing and developing healthy money habits,” says Jenn Kischell, vice president of Upwise at MetLife, in a statement. “People tend to underestimate their expenses, especially when using auto-pay. This is why it is essential to take a holistic assessment of your finances on a regular basis.”
To help keep track of their debt and savings, people are turning to financial planners (50%), finance apps (48%), or trying to stick to a good old-fashioned monthly budget (45%). Sixty-two percent of people who’ve experienced increased debt during the pandemic have seen an additional $10,000 added to their debt versus 54 percent of respondents who have seen that amount added to their savings.
“Managing your finances doesn’t have to be as intimidating or overwhelming as it seems,” adds Kischell. “Tools such as financial wellness apps can be a powerful resource to help take actions that lead to confidence and a greater sense of control. Everyone deserves to feel good about their finances, little steps can help free up that next dollar and the good news is that it’s never too late to start.” | https://www.krqe.com/news/national/45-of-millennials-have-no-idea-how-much-money-is-in-their-bank-account/ | 2022-03-14T16:28:12 | en | 0.962922 |
ENFIELD — The Town Council recently voted 6-2 along party lines to name the baseball diamond at Powder Hollow Park after much-loved coach Bob Bromage, who devoted almost 40 years to athletes at Enfield High School.
Six council Democrats — Mayor Bob Cressotti, Cynthia Mangini, Douglas Finger, John Santanella, Matthew Despard, and Nick Hopkins — voted in favor of naming the field after Bromage while two Republicans — Michael Ludwick and Marie Pyznar — voted in opposition. Council members Joseph Bosco and Lori Unghire, both Republicans, and Democrat Gina Cekala, who is also deputy mayor, were absent from the March 7.
Pyznar said it’s time to have a policy about naming parks and other places in town, and it was hard for her to approve naming the baseball diamond after Bromage because there have been many good coaches.
Ludwick said his opposing vote wasn’t personal but it should be rare and extraordinary to name property in town after people.
Cressotti said Bromage and his wife, Cookie, dedicated themselves to Enfield for decades and did so much for the town.
“To honor them while they are both with us is something we need to do,” he said. “This has been overdue and a well-deserved honor for someone who impacted the lives of many student athletes. Between Bob and Cookie, it’s been thousands.”
The Enfield Athletic Hall of Fame recommended naming the full-size baseball diamond Bob Bromage Field, saying he devoted nearly 40 years to coaching in Enfield. In addition to baseball, Bromage held numerous head and assistant coaching positions in town including boy’s basketball, football, and ice hockey.
“Bob and his wife have been avid supporters of Enfield athletics even in their retirement years and are among the most legendary,” the resolution states.
Since 1965, there has been a Bromage coaching high school sports in Connecticut. That run came to an end in the fall of 2019 when Bob and Cookie retired — she after 52 years with Enfield field hockey; and he from baseball in a career that started in Enfield in the mid-1960s and ended in East Granby.
The couple’s relationship began in 1967 at Enfield High when they met in the office of Athletic Director Carl Angelica. He introduced them, and Bob asked Cookie out. They have been together ever since.
Bromage, a Berlin High School graduate, had a post-graduate year at Wilbraham and Monson Academy in Massachusetts before attending Springfield College on a math scholarship, the first the school had ever given out.
While at Springfield, he played baseball for three seasons before injuring his arm in 1965.
Bromage did his student teaching at Enfield High School. He had already signed for another teaching job at a different school when Enfield approached him, offering him a teaching job at Enfield High School, and the rest is history.
In 1966, he was an assistant boys basketball coach. He took over the varsity in 1976, holding that spot until 1987.
But the baseball diamond is where he forged his legacy. He took over the Enfield team in 1967 as the second coach in school history and held the job until he retired from Enfield High School in 2004.
He coached Enfield to its only championship game appearance in 2001, a 6-3 loss to Staples in the Class L finale.
After leaving Enfield after 39 seasons, he became coach at East Granby, a position he held until his retirement in 2019. Both he and Cookie retired together that year. | https://www.journalinquirer.com/news/enfield-council-names-baseball-diamond-after-beloved-coach/article_117659d6-a3a2-11ec-8697-1bbf729ce37a.html | 2022-03-14T16:28:15 | en | 0.983227 |
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) – As gas prices continue to rise, some are looking for options to ease the pain felt by commuters at the fuel pump.
Recently, South Dakota Sen. John Thune joined with Sens. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) and Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) in calling for President Joe Biden to allow for the year-round sale of E15 ethanol, which they say will help ease the price of fuel. Currently, E15 fuel cannot be sold in conventional markets between June 1 and September 15.
Could this really be the solution to the rising price of gas, and if so, at what cost?

E15 is a fuel blend of 15% ethanol and 85% gasoline, as opposed to E10 (the most commonly used gas in the United States), which contains 10% ethanol and 90% gasoline, according to the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association. E15 is a higher octane than E10, typically marketed as 88 octane as opposed to E10, which is 87.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), most of the gasoline sold in the U.S. contains ethanol, with the most common blend being E10. Due to the dilution of the amount of gasoline per gallon, using ethanol blends will result in a drop in fuel economy, with the EIA saying it could decrease by about 3% for vehicles using E10.
In terms of usability, the EIA notes that all vehicles sold in the U.S. can use E10. Only light-duty vehicles with a model year 2001 or newer can use gasoline blends higher than E10 (such as E15), unless they are marked as a flex-fuel vehicle, which can run on any mix of gas and ethanol up to E85.
There have been some concerns relating to the safety of E15 for some vehicles, with AAA warning drivers in 2013 that E15 fuel may damage some vehicles. At the time, AAA stated that only 12 million of the 240 million light-duty vehicles on the road in 2013 were approved by their manufacturer to use E15.
Since 2013, the number of manufacturers approving the use of E15 in their vehicles has increased. The Renewable Fuels Association (a biofuel industry group) cites a review of 2022 vehicle user manuals, stating that almost all new 2022 vehicles are approved by the manufacturer to use E15. (If you have questions about the use of E15 in your tank, check your owner’s manual, or contact the manufacturer.)
Perhaps the biggest barrier to those looking to fill up with E15 at this point will be finding it. According to the Center for Agricultural and Rural Development at Iowa State University, less than 1% of gas stations in the United States were selling E15 as of 2019.
While drivers will get fewer miles per gallon if they opt to use E15 over E10, they will also pay a bit less to fill their tanks. The exact amount of savings at the pump differs from station to station, depending on the rise and fall of the market.
According to the website E85prices.com, which tracks the price of ethanol blend fuel, the average price of E15 nationally as of Sunday is $3.37 as opposed to $3.79 for E10, a difference of 42 cents.
Currently, the top-selling vehicle in the United States is the Ford F150. The 2021 Ford F150 Pickup with 4-wheel-drive using E10 gets a combined city/highway rating of 21 miles per gallon. With a 26-gallon tank, it would cost an average of $98.54 to fill with E10 fuel, as opposed to $87.62 with E15, a difference of $10.92.
Running an average of 21 mpg on E10 fuel, a driver would be able to go about 546 miles on one tank. Accounting for a loss of 3% fuel efficiency with E15 fuel, the combined rating would be 19.74 mpg, averaging a range of about 513 miles on a single tank.
Ethanol in the United States is most often produced from a starch in corn, according to the Department of Energy. Advocates of increased ethanol production cite increased energy independence, a higher octane resulting in increased power, and lower net emissions as advantages of this type of biofuel.
The Department of Energy states that the amount of carbon dioxide released by a vehicle using ethanol is offset by the amount of carbon captured by the plants used to produce the ethanol.
Another benefit listed by the DOE is the job impact. As it is primarily derived from corn in the U.S., rural areas stand to gain the most from increased ethanol production, with the Renewable Fuels Association stating that ethanol production in 2020 accounted for more than 62,000 direct jobs across the country.
But why is there a restriction on when E15 fuel can be sold? Why are there three months out of the year where it cannot be sold?
The reason behind the summer ban on sales of E15 fuel comes down to EPA restrictions on air pollution that negatively impacts the atmosphere’s ozone layer. While the EIA states that ethanol and ethanol-gasoline mixtures burn cleaner and have higher octane levels than pure gasoline, they also acknowledge that these blends have higher evaporative emissions from fuel tanks and dispensing equipment, which contributes to the formation of harmful, ground-level ozone and smog.
Critics of increase E15 production say it would contribute to climate change, resource depletion, and the destruction of critical habitat.
This latest attempt to roll back ethanol sale regulations is not the first. In 2019, in an attempt to follow through on a campaign promise, then-President Donald Trump sought to expand sales of gasoline containing 15% ethanol (E15). In May of that same year, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Andrew Wheeler took action to roll back the existing regulations blocking the year-round sale of E15.
This change in policy did not last, however, as the action was challenged in court by the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers, a petroleum industry trade group. In the summer of 2021, a federal appeals court overturned the rule change, saying that the EPA had overstepped its authority.
A further attempt (brought by GrowthEnergy, a biofuels industry group) to appeal the court’s decision was made, but in January 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court opted not to take up the case, allowing the lower court’s decision to stand. | https://www.krqe.com/news/national/can-ethanol-help-lower-gas-prices/ | 2022-03-14T16:28:18 | en | 0.955226 |
Last week the U.S. Labor Department admitted that inflation is running at nearly 8%, the highest rate in 40 years. Since the government's inflation measures have been revised many times in those 40 years to diminish the calculation of price increases and thereby mislead the public, some experts outside government maintain that the real inflation rate is 15% or even 20%.
Also last week Connecticut's members of Congress boasted about all the goodies -- "earmarks" -- they had inserted into the $1.5 trillion federal appropriations bill.
The legislation, according to Connecticut's delegation -- all Democrats -- is providing $144 million for 122 projects in the state. (Altogether the legislation is said to have more than 4,000 "earmarks.") Among Connecticut's are $2.5 million for the Boys and Girls Club in Milford, $105,000 for an after-school program in Waterbury, $2 million to start a worker-owned commercial laundry in New Haven, $1.5 million to replace a bridge in Middletown, $1.8 million for water and sewer pipes in Manchester, $900,000 for Johnson Memorial Hospital in Stafford, $34,000 for South Windsor's emergency operations center, and, with perfect irony, $160,000 for "waste and sludge disposal" in West Haven, whose city government lately has been full of waste and sludge -- the insiders who looted several times that amount from the city's most recent federal grant.
Nobody in authority in Connecticut last week put the record inflation together with another bloated appropriations bill or any recent appropriations bill. Nobody in authority linked the goodies to an increase in federal taxes.
For Congress has discovered that federal taxes are obsolete because the government can create money to infinity -- as long as the Federal Reserve is ready to monetize government bonds and as long as nobody cares about the devaluation of the currency that results when the increase in the money supply outruns not just national production of goods and services but, since the dollar is the reserve currency for the world, international production as well.
Instead the Biden administration blamed the record inflation on Russia's invasion of Ukraine, though the new inflation figures were calculated before the invasion and before economic sanctions disrupted international markets.
At least inflation has become a political issue in Connecticut, with Governor Lamont and both Democratic and Republican state legislators aiming to suspend or reduce state taxes on gasoline, now that gas has reached $4.50 per gallon and seems likely to go higher while state government has a large financial surplus.
Yes, people deserve some relief.
But will anyone in authority in Connecticut note that, from its beginning three years ago, the current Democratic state administration and many Democratic state legislators were openly striving to drive up the cost of conventional energy in the hope of making "green" energy more viable? With gas approaching $5 a gallon, the Democrats now are getting exactly what they wanted -- or what they wanted until they got it. If markets return to normal, the Democrats may return to their agenda of higher energy costs, even though "green" energy is far from able to replace much conventional energy.
Will anyone in authority in Connecticut risk telling people that, nice as some of the "earmarks" in the federal appropriations bill are, few are relevant to the responsibilities of the federal government and that most are arbitrary patronage pork? And will anyone in authority tell people that the pork is not really free, that people are paying for it not through regular taxes but through currency depreciation -- inflation -- which is a tax as regressive as the gas taxes politicians now want to suspend?

PATRIOTISM FADES: Americans watching television and admiring the brave Ukrainians defending their country against invasion should take a moment to look in the mirror instead.
According to a Quinnipiac University poll last week, only 55% of Americans say they would stay and fight if their country was invaded, while 38% say they would leave. By a margin of 68%-25%, Republicans say they would fight. Unaffiliated voters say they would fight by 57%-36%. But Democrats are closely divided, 52% saying they'd fight, 40% saying they'd leave.
Such lack of patriotism may cheer Russian President Vladimir Putin and tyrants everywhere. | https://www.journalinquirer.com/opinion/chris_powell/connecticuts-patronage-pork-arrives-riding-record-inflation/article_0dc2a6ec-a33d-11ec-a649-73b7c3802626.html | 2022-03-14T16:28:21 | en | 0.964232 |
NEW YORK CITY (WPIX) — The death of a homeless man found on a New York street Sunday evening has residents rattled as the NYPD and police in Washington D.C. investigate a series of attacks they believe are connected.
The 43-year-old man was found around 6:30 p.m. near Greenwich and Murray streets inside a sleeping bag with two puncture wounds to his body, police said. It remained unclear Monday morning if his death was connected to five other recent attacks on homeless individuals — two in New York City and three in Washington, D.C.
A neighbor who said she was familiar with the man told WPIX on Sunday night that he often hung around the area where he was found dead. She said he wouldn’t bother people and she never felt threatened by him but that he often asked for money to help get him into a hostel.

Late Sunday night, Mayor Eric Adams and D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser released a joint statement calling the suspect in the five connected attacks a “cold-blooded killer.”
Our communities in D.C. and New York City are heartbroken and disturbed by these heinous crimes in which an individual has been targeting some of our most vulnerable residents. The two of us spoke about how our teams can coordinate and help one another, and we are calling on everyone in our cities to look at the images of the suspect and report any information, however small, that may be useful. The work to get this individual off our streets before he hurts or murders another individual is urgent. The rise in gun violence has shaken all of us and it is particularly horrible to know that someone is out there deliberately doing harm to an already vulnerable population.
As our law enforcement agencies work quickly with federal partners to locate the suspect, we are also calling on unsheltered residents to seek shelter. Again, it is heartbreaking and tragic to know that in addition to all the dangers that unsheltered residents face, we now have a cold-blooded killer on the loose, but we are certain that we will get the suspect off the street and into police custody.
Mayor Adams and Mayor Bowser
The two victims in New York City were shot, one fatally, Saturday morning about an hour apart and just a few blocks from each other. Police said both shootings were unprovoked attacks against men resting in sleeping bags.
In D.C., three men were shot between March 3 and March 9. One of those victims died, authorities said.
Investigators released surveillance video of the suspect at the scene of one of the New York City attacks. Adams described it as “chilling.”
“These are our brothers and sisters who fell on hard times. We have an obligation to provide them with the services that they need,” the mayor added.
However, Jacquelyn Simone, policy director for the New York City Coalition for the Homeless, said Adams and other city leaders are not doing enough to protect this vulnerable population.
“It’s imperative the city expands access to low-barrier shelter options and permanent affordable housing so that people can move in off the street and have more safety and security,” she said. | https://www.krqe.com/news/national/cold-blooded-killer-6th-homeless-attack-follows-5-linked-in-nyc-dc-police-say/ | 2022-03-14T16:28:24 | en | 0.976703 |
EAST HARTFORD — Two people with gunshot wounds were found on Chapel Street early Saturday morning and one later died, police said.
Police said they responded to a report of shots fired shortly before 2 a.m. in the area of Chapel Street and found a vehicle near Main Street with a man inside who had been shot and was unresponsive.
Officers began lifesaving measures, and East Hartford paramedics arrived and provided treatment, police said. The man was rushed to a local hospital where he died, police said.
His identity is pending confirmation by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner and notification of next of kin, police said.
Police also found a woman with a gunshot wound to the arm. She was treated for injuries that were not life threatening, police said.
The East Hartford Police Detective Division, in cooperation with the Connecticut State’s Attorney’s Office, is investigating the incident. Anyone with information is asked to contact East Hartford Police Detective Patrick Sullivan at 860-291-7611 or call the East Hartford Police Anonymous Tip Line at 860-289-9134. | https://www.journalinquirer.com/towns/east_hartford/man-dies-after-being-shot-saturday-in-east-hartford/article_b6edf206-a3a8-11ec-8426-27a57f9d53d8.html | 2022-03-14T16:28:27 | en | 0.981865 |
(NerdWallet) – That car you leased three years ago probably has become a cash cow. But deciding what to do with that equity — and what to drive next — has become confusing.
Before the car market was turned upside down by the pandemic, microchip shortages and supply chain disruptions, most people simply turned in their leased cars. But now that most leased vehicles are worth thousands of dollars more than the predetermined price in the lease contract, a savvy consumer might want to leverage that bonus.

And that’s where things get tricky.
“Getting the equity out at the end of the lease is more difficult than just turning it back in,” says Scot Hall, executive vice president of operations for Swapalease, which matches leaseholders with car shoppers looking to take over a lease.
There’s a new wrinkle
“Captive” automotive lenders, the financing arms of manufacturers that usually handle leases, want those primo leased cars — usually well-maintained with low miles — returned to their own dealers to be sold as certified pre-owned cars, says Hall.
To encourage this, many lenders won’t honor the residual value in the contract for anyone but the owner. That means someone wanting to sell their car online to Carvana or CarMax or use it as a trade-in for another make of vehicle has to jump through several hoops — and then shop for a ride to replace the old one.
That’s tough, too. Dealer lots are often almost empty, prices on all vehicles have soared, and incentives such as cut-rate financing — the kind that made leasing attractive in the first place — have vanished.
“Consumers are finding themselves in a perplexing situation,” says Ivan Drury, senior manager of insights for Edmunds.com, an online resource for automotive inventory and dealer reviews. He notes that the popularity of leasing has taken a hit, dropping from 29% of all transactions in February 2021 to only 21% in February 2022.
So what does this mean for you? Well, you will need to proceed carefully if you want to capture the equity built up in your leased car.
How much equity do you have?
First, find your buyout price by logging in to your online account or calling your lender, or use a lease buyout calculator to estimate. It’s typically your residual value plus remaining payments.
Then you’ll need to find the current market value of your car. You can estimate using many online pricing guides such as Edmunds.com or Kelley Blue Book. Hall recommends looking for the trade-in price since this is the amount most dealers will give you. Or, you can get cash offers to sell your car online.
Then, subtract the buyout price from the current trade-in value or offer and, presto, this is your equity.
Edmunds.com estimates equity runs about $7,000, on average, for leased 2019 model year vehicles.
What are your options?
“Decide what you want to do next and then work backward,” advises Hall.
Here are your options as you approach the end of your lease:
- Turn the car back in to the leasing company for another vehicle from the same manufacturer.
- Turn your car in to the leasing company and then lease or buy a different brand of vehicle.
- Turn in your leased car, pay the fees and walk away.
- Extend your lease on a month-to-month basis.
- Buy your car and keep driving it.
- Buy your car and sell it privately or to a dealer.
One key factor in your decision may be sales taxes. If you buy your car — even if you plan to immediately resell — you will owe applicable sales taxes to your city, county and state. And when you trade your car, many states will tax you only on the difference between its value and the new car’s value.
Those factors may dent or eat away at your equity. A dealer’s offer for your car may be lower than you might get elsewhere, but taxes may make it the wisest choice financially.
All of these options have benefits, but the first two can be a little more complex.
Turn your car in for another of the same brand
Ending your current lease and then leasing or buying the same brand of vehicle can help you in several ways:
- Trading the vehicle rather than simply turning it in may erase lease disposition fees and penalties for driving over the allowed miles and excess wear.
- Trading in your leased car also typically reduces the sales taxes on the new car.
- Your equity can serve as a down payment on a new or used car or cover the drive-off costs for a new lease.
Turn your car in, then buy or lease a different brand
Extracting equity is more difficult when you want a new car from a different brand.
If your current lender doesn’t allow a third party to buy out the lease, you’ll have to do it yourself. That means finding a lease buyout loan, paying the sales taxes and fees, then registering and titling the car in your own name. Afterward, you’re free to trade or sell the car as you wish.
One possible workaround is finding a dealer group that sells both the brand you own and the brand you want, Hall suggests. One arm of the dealer group could buy out the car, and the other arm could get you into a new car. You would not have to pay sales taxes on the buyout, because the dealer would be buying the car, not you.
Should you act or sit tight?
While “equity” may sound like free money for the taking, it is not. The only way to capture all of that gain is to buy out the lease, sell the vehicle and not purchase another one.
Leveraging the equity into another car could be a wash financially.
Sure, you are getting money you didn’t expect from your old ride, but increased sticker prices, sales taxes and dealer-mandated extras can absorb it easily. Many of the leasing incentives that helped lower your monthly payments are gone now, says Drury.
“Reevaluate before jumping straight into another lease,” Drury advises.
If you like your current leased car, the smartest path may just be to buy it — at what is now a bargain price — and drive it as long as possible.
If you need a new car, equity from your lease can be a buffer against sticker shock. | https://www.krqe.com/news/national/ending-your-car-lease-is-tricky-but-can-still-pay-off/ | 2022-03-14T16:28:31 | en | 0.968773 |
A woman has been the victim of a racially-aggravated incident near Devon's border after a cyclist fired verbal abuse at her before kicking her car.
Officers from Avon and Somerset Police are appealing for witnesses following the incident which took place in Taunton last week (March, 8) on the A38 Wellington Road at around 5.15pm.
According to police, the victim was driving towards the town centre when she saw the male cyclist using a mobile phone near the hospital.

Stopping at the traffic lights, at the junction with Parkfield Road, she challenged him about what he was doing. The cyclist is reported to have responded by using racially-abusive language and kicking the victim’s car. No damage was caused. The cyclist is described as a very tall male, of a large build and at least 30 years of age.
He was wearing a fluorescent pink/orange jacket, black trousers and boots. He was also wearing a beanie hat, a backpack and headphones at the time of the incident.
The incident has been recorded as a hate crime due to the reported use of racially-abusive language. The victim has been contacted to check on her welfare by the local neighbourhood team.
Police ask anyone who witnessed the incident, or was travelling in the area and may have captured the cyclist on dashcam, to call 101 and give reference number 5222056129.

NEW YORK (WPIX) – A gunman shot two homeless men while they slept in Lower Manhattan Saturday, killing one man and injuring the other, the New York Police Department said.
The NYPD believes the gunman – shown in the photo above – is targeting homeless people while they sleep in the streets.
“The video is chilling to see a cold-blooded act of murder,” Mayor Eric Adams said Saturday night. “We need to find this person, and we need New Yorkers to help us.”
The first shooting happened around 4:30 a.m. on King Street between Varick Street and Sixth Avenue, police said. A 38-year-old man was sleeping when the gunman approached him and shot him in the right forearm. The victim woke up screaming, and the suspect ran, police said.
The victim survived and was taken to the hospital for his injuries.
The second shooting happened about an hour later and less than a mile away outside a building at 148 Lafayette St., police said. Surveillance video showed the gunman approach a man as he slept in his sleeping bag and shoot him in the head and neck. The suspect the ran away from the area.
The victim was discovered hours later and pronounced dead at the scene.
“We are not going to rest until we find the individual responsible for this terrible act of taking the life of an innocent person merely as they slept on the streets,” Adams said. “We are calling on the public to help us solve this case.”
Advocates for unhoused populations called on the city to offer shelter to more people who sleep on the street in order to protect them from the shooter, who had not been caught by police as of Sunday, as well as other dangers. | https://www.krqe.com/news/national/shooter-targets-homeless-people-while-they-sleep-nypd/ | 2022-03-14T16:28:37 | en | 0.981213 |
SOUTH WINDSOR — The town’s Public Works department released a presentation of its five-year plan of roadwork projects Tuesday afternoon, for a total of $36 million in “backlog” projects they hope to complete between 2023 to 2027.
The presentation states that the five-year plan, branded as “Paving for Progress,” is focused around maintaining roadways in an efficient, cost-effective manner. The town has a “backlog” of work on 101 miles of town roads that need maintenance and repair to pavement and drainage systems.
Some 38 miles of road needing structural improvement make up the majority of the backlog at $25.2 million in costs, the presentation states. That group includes parts of Clark Street, Troy Road, and Rye Street, among others.
Vincent Stetson, director of public works, said Monday morning that $5 million has been earmarked in borrowing for road projects in 2022. Those are not included in the $36 million backlog, he added.
Stetson said repairs to Beelzebub Road are expected to begin this summer and could continue into 2023. The estimated cost for that project is $2.8 million.
The town is now working on clearing trees and brush to accommodate that project, which includes a new road base and asphalt surface, sidewalks, curbs, grading, and over 50 new driveway aprons.
One-way traffic during construction hours can be expected, Stetson said.
Stetson said work is also planned this year for Buckland Road, with work anticipated to start in July and take about two months to complete. The estimated cost is $2.1 million.
The project calls for resurfacing Buckland Road and adding new curbs and catch basin tops. Minor drainage repairs will be done, as needed. Work will be conducted primarily at night, to reduce traffic disruption.
The town is also in the planning stages for reconstruction of Pleasant Valley Road, expected to begin in 2023. The road width varies and the overall condition is poor, officials say. The estimated cost of that work is $2.5 million, which is partially funded by approved bonds.
There is no source of funding yet for the majority of the roadwork projects in the five-year plan, Stetson said.
“The plan was developed in an effort to not only show the need for funding, but how the funding would be spent if provided,” Stetson said.
The presentation states that some roads in relatively good condition may be rehabilitated before those in the worst conditions, as the treatments are cheaper and faster, and performing work at the right time can save the town money, overall.
The roads in town are grouped into “treatment bands” based on their overall condition. The highest is the “do nothing” category, with lower categories representing roads that need more intensive work. | https://www.journalinquirer.com/towns/south_windsor/south-windsor-considers-roadwork-for-2022-and-beyond/article_794a6d68-a3ac-11ec-bda7-cf196a38e34d.html | 2022-03-14T16:28:40 | en | 0.973074 |
Exeter City Women made it three successive League wins for the first time this season as they took all three points on Sunday with a comprehensive victory at Maidenhead United.
City had been frustrated by a resilient United defence in the reverse fixture back in January as they suffered a 1-0 defeat, but two goals inside the opening seven minutes ensured it wouldn’t be the case on Sunday
Anthea Kaptein and Connie Pengelly struck early, before Sarah Stacey sealed the 3-0 win late on as the Grecians kept the pressure on those above them and moved up to fourth in the table, still with games in hand on their rivals.
The afternoon was spoiled slightly after Jaydee Seaman was given a harsh second yellow card and sent off 20 minutes from time, but City came away with the three points and the clean sheet that they had hoped for.

“We started fast and got the early goals which set the tone for the game and then one in the second half which killed it,” said co-manager Aaron Wakley. “It is really pleasing to see the way they managed the game. We were frustrated after the home game as we are capable of better. We knew we had to start fast and we were aggressive and we came away with the three points.”
City were keen to begin with a fast tempo, it was a mindset that brought immediate success. Pengelly powered her way past the full back before sending in a low cross towards Stacey, Maidenhead failed to clear the cross, and, as it dropped to Kaptein, she drilled the ball into the bottom corner after five minutes
Two minutes later it was two. Kaptein was first to the goalkeeper's clearance and her forward pass bounced to Phoebe Baker and her brilliantly improvised header put Pengelly in on goal. The teenage forward’s clinical nature is hugely impressive and, on the half volley, she found the corner of the net.
Keen to kill off the home side’s fightback, City began the second half seeking a clinching third goal. Pengelly’s corner fell to Emily Toogood, making her 100 th appearance in Red and White, and her goal bound shot was unfortunate to hit Mollie Taylor.
Shots from Stacey and Zoe Watkins failed to trouble United keeper Gemma Harvey, but the pressure was about to tell. Pengelly turned her defender before sending a perfectly weighted through ball for Stacey, the powerful City forward raced towards goal and poked the ball past the onrushing Harvey for three. Not only have Stacey and Pengelly scored a lot of goals for the Grecians this season, but their link up play is a joy to watch.

Abbie Britton and Wakley made a string of substitutions as the game came to a close, the most notable being a debut for development team player Lilly Burton, her excellent season for Jamie McInnes’ side giving her a deserved opportunity.
It was a near perfect afternoon for City, cheered on by a large London Grecians following, with the only frustration coming with a Seaman red card twenty minutes before full time. Her first booking was needless for kicking the ball away, but it is unusual to see a booking for a tackle in which the player has not made any contact with the opposition player, it looked a harsh free kick, an even harsher booking.
“It was not a bad week for us as we achieved exactly what we set out to do, but there is a big week ahead, we go again,” co-manager Britton said post-match.
“It is unfortunate about the red card for Jaydee and not sure what the referee has seen there. The girls dug in deep and were super professional and we were delighted to come away with the three points. It is not a yellow card, nowhere near. First is stupid for kicking the ball away and she knows it, but she has not made any contact, and it is ridiculous. Level of officiating at this level is sometimes questionable.”
After three successive league wins, two successive clean sheets, it was just the week that Britton and Wakley would have wanted from their team.
City were due to face a double header against Chesham United – the side who sit third in the table – but fixtures have been switched around, and instead will travel to eighth placed Swindon Town on Sunday.
That is the first of five successive trips on the road – and six including the win in London – before three games back on home turf will complete the season.
With Cheltenham Town taking a big step to a title with a win over AFC Bournemouth on Sunday, City must keep the pressure on if they are to have any chance of catching the Robins.

(iSeeCars) – The EPA fuel economy ratings of an SUV have a big impact on its affordability. A rise in gas prices takes a bite out of your wallet, but when a vehicle has better fuel economy, that bite is easier to manage. While SUVs don’t provide the same fuel economy as sedans, there are plenty of models with relatively good mpg ratings that still offer the cargo space and roomy interiors SUVs are known for. These include gas, hybrid models, and plug-in hybrid SUVs ranging from affordable to high-priced and luxurious. Many of these SUVs come standard with front-wheel drive (FWD) or rear-wheel drive (RWD), but all of them offer all-wheel drive (AWD) or four-wheel drive (4WD) as standard or optional equipment. These systems improve an SUV’s traction and confidence in winter weather or during off-road driving.
Automakers have employed advanced engine technologies that increase fuel efficiency without sacrificing performance. Cylinder deactivation is one such technology, along with continuously variable transmissions (CVTs) in place of traditional automatic transmissions. There are also turbocharged (or “turbo”) engines that let smaller-displacement drivetrains, including four-cylinder engines and V6 engines, match the horsepower of larger engines while using less gas. Direct injection is another modern technology that helps even full-size SUVs get the best fuel efficiency possible, despite their size and weight.

The EPA mpg ratings include three fuel economy numbers – city, highway, and combined. We used the 2022 combined EPA ratings for our mpg rankings since that number provides a better idea of the fuel economy you’ll get in everyday driving. If you drive more in the city, your fuel economy may skew lower. If you spend most of your time cruising the highway, your fuel economy may be a bit higher. Remember, EPA numbers are only estimates, so your actual fuel economy will vary.
While our combined fuel economy rating is for the 2022 model year, we included new car and three-year-old used pricing when available. In cases where there’s no used price it’s usually because that model didn’t exist 3 years ago. Hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains in particular, which use electric motors in conjunction with gas engines to offer better mpg ratings, are often too new to have used car data.
The best SUVs in each category include the affordable Nissan Kicks crossover and the new Toyota Corolla Cross. There are larger options including the Hyundai Santa Fe and Chevrolet Tahoe. SUVs with hybrid powertrains are on our lists, too, with the affordable Kia Niro crossover SUV taking spots as both a hybrid and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) while the luxurious Lexus UX 350h and Lincoln Corsair win those categories for luxury SUVs. The Lexus UX 200 and Lexus NX 250 also win spots as fuel-efficient luxury options along with the Volvo XC90 and Cadillac Escalade.

TOLLAND — The town’s 2021 grand list increased by 3.8%, or $48.8 million, in the last year, according to the town assessor.
The grand list, which totals $1.33 billion, compiles the value of all taxable property in town as of Oct. 1 and includes real estate, motor vehicles, and personal property. Town officials use the list to calculate town revenue as well as the tax rate.
According to documents provided by Town Assessor Jason Lawrence, much of the grand list growth came from the increased valuation of motor vehicles in town, which increased 25.5%, or $34.8 million, from 2020 for a total of $171.5 million. Supply issues that drove up demand and values of vehicles caused the increase, Lawrence said.
The valuation of real estate in town also increased by 0.5%, or $5.6 million, over 2020 for a total of $1.11 billion, which was driven by new single family construction projects, building permits and 21 homes returning to full value after receiving assessment reductions from crumbling foundations.
According to Lawrence, the valuation of personal property, which is typically business equipment and an indicator of commercial growth, also increased by 20%, or $8.3 million, from 2020 for a total of $49.43 million.
Major taxpayers in town include Connecticut Light & Power Co., which makes up 1.3% of the grand list, and Capitol Ventures LLC, which makes up 1%.
Town officials say the increased grand list will result in an additional $1.81 million in tax revenue for the town based on the current tax rate of 37.11 mills. The tax rate could change after the Town Council adopts a budget for next fiscal year. A mill is $1 in taxes for every $1,000 of assessed property.

(NEXSTAR) – Gas prices keep climbing higher and show no sign of stopping. Not every station has the same prices, of course. But saving money at the pump doesn’t just mean knowing where to fill up – it also helps to know when to fill up.
In general, gas prices tend to be lowest at the beginning of the week, on Monday and Tuesday, said GasBuddy’s lead petroleum analyst Patrick De Haan. As the week goes on, gas prices tend to rise until they reach their most expensive point on the weekend – especially on Friday and Saturday.
What drives this trend?
“If I had to venture a guess, energy markets are closed over the weekend, but they’re open Monday through Friday,” De Haan said. “By the time the weekend rolls around, (gas stations) may be passing around any increases that happened earlier in the week.”

There’s also a key government report that comes out every Wednesday, De Haan said, which can influence the wholesale price of oil.
Basically, if gas stations see the price of oil rising as the week goes on, they pass on that cost to customers so they don’t lose money.
“They’re also less likely to lower prices at the onset of the weekend because a lot of people fill up on the weekend, so there’s less of an incentive,” De Haan said.
Gas isn’t always cheapest on Monday, De Haan emphasized. There are variations from place to place and it depends on what’s going on in the oil markets at any given time. The broad trend was identified in a recent GasBuddy study.
The average gas station will change prices a few times a week, De Haan said, but there are volatile times where a station might change prices several times a day. If they see their competition’s prices rising, gas stations are more likely to do the same.
“One tip is to always shop around. Prices can vary significantly from block to block,” De Haan said. “You can save $100 or even $200 to $300 over the course of the year if you’re paying attention.” | https://www.krqe.com/news/national/the-cheapest-day-of-the-week-to-fill-up-on-gas/ | 2022-03-14T16:28:49 | en | 0.960594 |
VERNON — A man who has been arrested multiple times already and accused of sexually assaulting women, usually by groping and kissing them against their will, has been arrested once again for a similar incident.
The man, Dwight Barrows, 68, who lives in a mobile home park at 325 Kelly Road, was charged Thursday with second-degree unlawful restraint and second-degree breach of peace.
After his arrests in August and October Barrows was released on promises to appear, but this time a judge set his bond at $30,000. As of this morning, he was still being held.
A police report supporting his most recent arrest provides the following details:
Police were called to Northeastern Pulmonary Associates on Thursday, after Barrows had an appointment. An employee there reported that Barrows had grabbed and hugged her and kissed her neck in the midst of a medical appointment.
The woman said she was checking Barrows’ vital signs and chatting, when he began talking about his hair. He also showed her pictures of his hair from the past, the woman said.
After she finished taking Barrow’s blood pressure, he grabbed her arm and put her hand in his hair, the woman told police.
Then, as she attempted to leave the room, Barrows asked for a hug and without waiting for her response, wrapped one of his arms around her back and pulled her close, the woman said.
She tried to pull away, but Barrows held her tightly, and then put his open mouth on her neck. She could feel his teeth on her neck, she said.
Barrow let her go and she left the room.
The incident was partially witnessed by another employee, who heard Barrows ask for a hug and saw him hug the woman tightly.
Following the incident Barrows was banned from the office.
Police went to Barrows’ home later on to speak with him about what happened.
Barrows became increasingly nervous as the conversation continued, police noted. Barrows said he thought it was OK to hug the woman because he didn’t feel her pull away.
He admitted to kissing the woman, but said it’s common in his culture to kiss others on the face.
Barrows told police he had thoughts that because of his past incidents, he shouldn’t hug or kiss anyone, but ignored those thoughts.
In addition, Barrows said while shopping these days, he’ll turn around if there’s a woman in the same aisle as him.
Barrows is facing numerous charges from previous arrests. He is charged with fourth-degree sexual assault from an incident in July, when he cornered a woman in an ATM lobby, then groped and kissed her.
In October, he was charged with three counts of third-degree sexual assault, from three separate incidents involving three different women.
In one case, a real estate agent reported being grabbed and kissed by Barrows during a home showing.
In another case, Barrow is accused of grabbing and kissing a woman just minutes after they had met for the first time while outside her house doing yard work.
The last sexual assault charge stems from June 2021, when a woman said she went to Barrows’ home for lunch. Soon after getting inside, Barrows grabbed her by the arms and began pushing her toward the bedroom, kissing her along the way, she told police. | https://www.journalinquirer.com/towns/vernon/vernon-man-with-history-of-charges-accosted-another-woman-police-say/article_41e4140c-a3aa-11ec-9c9c-c36593f71884.html | 2022-03-14T16:28:52 | en | 0.992736 |
(NEXSTAR) – The pandemic may be cooling down, but the real estate market is hotter than ever. As more Americans compete to own a limited number of homes, bidding wars are becoming a common part of the home buying experience.
A bidding war happens when multiple would-be buyers are interested in a property, so the parties put in increasingly higher offers in an attempt to secure the purchase.

It’s a trend prospective homeowners are familiar with in tight markets like San Francisco or Austin, but as the pandemic let many wealthier workers move anywhere, bidding wars are becoming more common in places that used to have reasonable or even sleepy real estate markets.
The eastern Washington city of Spokane saw the highest rate of bidding wars, according to Redfin’s analysis. In January, 83% of home sales involved multiple competing offers – up from 61% the year before.
“All over the country people rushed into the housing market in January to get ahead of rising mortgage rates,” explained Daryl Fairweather, chief economist at Redfin. “And there were very few listings available for everybody rushing to the market because most sellers wait until late spring to list. So there was a lot of demand coming before very much supply.”
That, folks, is a recipe for a bidding war.
The metro areas with the highest rates of bidding wars in real estate transactions, according to Redfin’s analysis:
- Spokane, Wash. (83.3%)
- Sacramento, Calif. (80.4%)
- Seattle (79.7%)
- Dallas (78.1%)
- San Francisco/San Jose (76.5%)
- Denver (75.8%)
- Austin, Texas (75.6%)
- Virginia Beach, Va. (75%)
- Raleigh, N.C. (75%)
- Boston (74.8%)
- Salt Lake City (74.7%)
- Portland, Ore. (74.4%)
- Colorado Springs, Colo. (73.7%)
- San Diego (73.7%)
- Philadelphia (72.9%)
As competition heats up in the cities listed above, prospective buyers may turn elsewhere, therefore driving up competition and bringing bidding wars to new areas. San Antonio, Texas, for example, is becoming a popular real estate destination for those fleeing the price hikes in Austin, said Fairweather.
She expected the same trend might come to more affordable Florida cities like Tampa and Cape Coral.
The percentages listed above indicate the share of offers that were part of a bidding war in January 2022. To make it on the list, Redfin said the metro area had to have recorded at least 20 offers submitted by Redfin agents.

(NerdWallet) – A striking lack of affordability held steady for first-time home buyers in the final quarter of 2021. After a slight uptick in listings in the third quarter, the number of homes on the market fell further into a hole to close out the year.
In last quarter’s first-time buyer analysis for Q3, we cautioned buyers against getting overly optimistic in the face of small improvements. With fourth quarter list prices up 14% nationwide over the last few years even after adjusting for inflation, and inventory depleted, an interlude of price stability with a small listings bump was unable to change the dynamics of this seller’s market.

By and large, any inventory improvements in the third quarter (up 31% across the most populous metropolitan areas) were buffered as listings fell 14% in the fourth quarter. For buyers, incremental price improvements aren’t enough to make homes affordable, and still-falling inventory only further complicates matters.
Affordability across the nation’s biggest metros
Average affordability remained stable from the third to the fourth quarter of 2021 in the nation’s largest 50 metropolitan areas. Homes were listed at 5.5 times median first-time home buyer income in these metro areas, on average, and 5.3 times across the nation as a whole.
As a reminder, home buyers have historically been advised to look at homes listed at roughly three times their income. For first-time buyers, staying within budget is particularly crucial, as they are less likely to have wiggle room in their monthly expenses. But as this analysis has shown over the past few years, the “three times your income” adage may be as outdated as dial-up internet.
The most affordable metros for first-time buyers remained in the Rust Belt and Midwest. Detroit joined this lineup, nudging out Minneapolis and Baltimore. Inaugural buyers in the fourth quarter would see their money go the furthest in Pittsburgh, where homes were listed at 2.9 times median first-time buyer income, Cleveland (3.1), St. Louis (3.3), Buffalo, New York (3.5), and Detroit (3.5).
For the first time since early 2020, the least affordable metros included one outside of California, as Miami had a similar affordability ratio to Riverside. Los Angeles, perennially at the bottom of the affordability list, found homes priced at 11.2 times first-time buyer income, compared with 12.1 last quarter. Others at this end of the list include San Diego (9.2), San Jose (8.3), Sacramento (7.7), Riverside and Miami, both 7.6.
First-time buyer guidance: Even more important than adhering to a generalized guideline is understanding your personal financial picture and how much home is realistic, given your budget and the location you’re shopping in. Home buyers should take ample time before they begin shopping to establish their homebuying budget. This step doesn’t mean accounting for only the purchase price of your home, but also how much you’ll pay in mortgage interest — rates are already rising in 2022 — homeowners insurance, taxes, and home maintenance and upkeep, not to mention considering other financial obligations such as debt. A home affordability calculator can help with this process.
After a tiny bump, inventory falls again in Q4
The number of monthly active listings on the market in the nation’s largest metros fell 14% from last quarter. This drop came on the heels of a hint of relief, as listings rose 31% from Q2 to Q3. But that relief was modest, at best, and — as we see now — temporary. Nationally, listings fell 9% from last quarter. The chart below shows just how deep in a housing shortage we are. It would take many quarters of considerable growth to get inventory back to pre-pandemic levels.
Some of the most unaffordable markets saw the biggest drops in average monthly inventory. Sellers in these locations may be apprehensive about listing, knowing they’d find themselves on the buyer’s side in a pricey and unfavorable market. In San Diego, average monthly listings fell 48% in the fourth quarter, along with 39% in San Jose and 37% in Los Angeles. In all, eight metros saw inventory fall 20% or more quarter over quarter.

Nationally, listings fell 25% compared with the fourth quarter of 2020. And year-over-year decreases were even more dramatic in a handful of metros. In Hartford, Connecticut, active listings fell 60% year over year; in Miami, they fell by 51%; and in Raleigh, North Carolina, the number of homes on the market fell by half.
First-time buyer guidance: Shopping for a home when there are so few available makes the purchasing process even more complex. Your budget isn’t all that you need to be concerned about; your wish list and desired location may carry just as much weight. If you can be flexible about these things, you’re better suited to buying in the current market, where listings are scant.
However, if you’re fully committed to a specific type of home in a certain neighborhood, you may have better luck waiting for it to hit the market than chasing homes that won’t delight you. In this case, let an agent know exactly what you’re looking for so they can tip you off if they see a listing that checks your boxes. This approach takes some inevitable disappointment off the table, as you’re less likely to waste your time going to showings and open houses that just don’t fit the bill. But it does mean it will take you longer to become a homeowner.
Average prices relatively stable, but some metros stand out
As in the third quarter, prices among the nation’s largest metro areas fell 1% quarter over quarter and 2% year over year, on average, again. The seemingly endless upward climb has slowed, but these modest decreases are too small to mean that prices are on their way down. And within those averages are some pretty significant changes.
From the previous quarter, the biggest price decrease came in Detroit, where prices fell 13%. The biggest boost was seen in the New York City metro area, where prices climbed 8% over the quarter.
Typically, the fourth quarter marks a housing market slowdown, as the weather cools and the holiday season captures everyone’s attention. During this time, prices generally begin creeping down to reach their lowest points in January and February. But the current housing market is anything but typical, and seasonal patterns aren’t as dramatic or predictable as they once were.
Compared with the last quarter of 2020, prices fell double digits in 11 metro areas, with Detroit (-17%), Milwaukee (-15%), Los Angeles (-15%) and Pittsburgh (-15%) seeing the biggest drops. But prices climbed double digits year over year in Austin, Texas (+23%), Las Vegas (+22%), Tampa, Florida (+16%), Orlando, Florida (+13%), Denver (+11%) and Miami (+10%).

First-time buyer guidance: Prices aren’t expected to climb as much in 2022 as they have over the past two years. However, if typical seasonal trends hold even slightly, they will rise later this spring as the weather warms. As a hopeful buyer, you shouldn’t get too optimistic when you see prices leveling in the fourth and possibly first quarters. Instead, it’s best to prepare for sustained high prices in most large markets across the country. That said, there are areas where your homebuying dollar goes further, and prices haven’t grown as much. Less populous cities and rural areas are often insulated from the steepest price increases, so if you have the flexibility to look for homes in less crowded markets, you may have better luck staying within budget.
Pittsburgh: The only ‘affordable’ metro
If finding a house three times your income is the threshold to meet, the Pittsburgh metro area holds the most promise for first-time buyers. It’s the only metro analyzed where homes were priced less than three times that city’s typical first-time buyer income in the fourth quarter. This is only the second time a metro dipped below this threshold in the history of this analysis — dating to the first quarter of 2020, before the pandemic took hold. And back then, it was Pittsburgh too.
In the fourth quarter, homes were listed at 2.9 times first-time buyer income in Steel City, at about $219,000, on average. There were about 3,800 homes on the market in any given month of the quarter, and while this is a 33% decline since the first quarter of 2020, it’s a far more modest drop than other metro areas.
METHODOLOGY
Monthly median list price and list count figures are from monthly Inventory Data from the Realtor.com residential listings database as of January 2022. The nominal list prices were adjusted to December 2021 dollars using the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Consumer Price Index. All monthly median figures were compiled into quarterly averages.
When comparing new quarterly data with affordability data in the previous quarter, we used figures adjusted to the period in which they were first analyzed. For example, third-quarter list prices and incomes were not adjusted to Q4 dollars when comparing quarter-over-quarter changes. This was done for consistency’s sake between the most recent report and the current one.
The median age of first-time home buyers is 33, according to the National Association of Realtors’ 2021 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers. Estimated income for first-time home buyers was derived from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2019 American Community Survey median household income for householders ages 25-44 — the range likely to include most first-time home buyers — and escalated to December 2021 dollars using the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Employment Cost Index.
San Juan, Puerto Rico, is among the 50 most populous metros but was excluded from the analysis due to insufficient inventory data.
Interpret metro rankings with caution. Due to margins of error in income data and rounding, there may be overlap in affordability ratios. | https://www.krqe.com/news/national/there-was-little-relief-for-first-time-home-buyers-in-the-fourth-quarter/ | 2022-03-14T16:29:01 | en | 0.958311 |
(STACKER) – Every new parent faces the difficult decision of choosing the perfect name for a newborn. First names rarely get changed after being assigned and carry with them a wide range of meanings and associations. This creates a lot of pressure on expectant parents to pick the perfect moniker for their little ones.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, many parents end up choosing the same names over and over. Research suggests that we pick specific names implying desired characteristics about our children, selecting names for boys and girls intended to shape them. Male monikers are commonly inspired by political, cultural, and personal influences that suggest good, masculine, and well-rounded people.
The 1960s are commonly associated with tie-dye-clad hippies, psychedelic experimentation, and rock ‘n’ roll icons like the Beatles and Jimi Hendrix. But underneath the flower power, free love exterior, the ‘60s were a period of radical social and political change—not only in the United States but around the world. The decade was one characterized by a host of juxtapositions; anger and fear over injustice and uneasy political conditions lived alongside notions of musical awakening and pacifist harmony.
Stacker compiled a list of the most popular baby names for boys in the ‘60s in New Mexico using data from the Social Security Administration. Names are ranked by number of babies born. The names in this list represent the distinct intersection of Baby Boomer and Gen X and a reflection of some of the most well-known celebrities, musicians, and trends of the time. Keep reading to see if your name was among the most popular in the ‘60s in your home state.

(STACKER) – The changes to the housing market are moving at a neck-breaking pace. To help you stay current on the market, ZeroDown compiled a weekly real estate market report in Santa Fe using data from Redfin. Statistics are as of the four weeks ending March 6, 2022. Metros with more than 50 homes sold during this time period were considered for metro-level rankings for each statistic.
Real estate is making headlines again this week, and for good reason. The housing market broke another all-time record in January 2022, with 70% of the homes on the market that month ending in a bidding war between buyers, according to data released Feb. 23. That rate was up by nine percentage points compared to the same time last year.
The milestone is good news for sellers—but another hurdle for potential homebuyers.
Sellers are able to capitalize on the lack of inventory and extremely high demand to command higher prices for their homes. Bidding wars also likely contributed to the recent jump in the average purchase loan size for conventional loans, which set a new record of $453,000 in late February.
Bidding wars represent yet another hurdle for potential homebuyers, on the other hand, who have already faced not only record-high home prices but record-low levels of housing inventory—and the looming threat of increased interest rates over the last several months.
All this spell a potentially rough several months ahead for homebuyers looking for a deal—or any buyer who’s looking for a property to purchase.

(The Hill) – Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) on Sunday made it known that she agreed with a fellow GOP member of Congress who called former President Trump a “would-be tyrant.”
Rep. Tom Rice (R-S.C.) on Saturday condemned Trump following a rally in South Carolina, calling him a “disaster” and a “would-be tyrant.” Rice accused Trump of being “consumed by spite.”
Sharing a copy of The Hill’s article on Rice’s remarks on Twitter, Cheney wrote, “@RepTomRice is right. Most of our Republican colleagues know this. Their silence enables the danger.”
“Our country needs Republicans to be sane, responsible, and speak the truth,” wrote Cheney.
Both Rice and Cheney were among the 10 GOP House members who voted to impeach Trump after the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack.

Trump has endorsed Republican primary challengers against both Cheney and Rice in their reelection races this year, seeking retribution against the lawmakers in his party who have spoken out against him.
State Rep. Russell Fry (R), Rice’s primary challenger, spoke at Trump’s rally in South Carolina on Saturday night. Rice criticized Fry, accusing him of supporting a “would-be tyrant over the Constitution.”
“If you want a Congressman who supports political violence in Ukraine or in the United States Capitol, who supports party over country, who supports a would-be tyrant over the Constitution, and who makes decisions based solely on re-election, then Russell Fry is your candidate,” said Rice. | https://www.krqe.com/news/politics/cheney-says-gop-lawmaker-who-called-trump-a-would-be-tyrant-is-right/ | 2022-03-14T16:29:19 | en | 0.973734 |
NEW YORK (AP) — Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan is planning trips to Iowa and New Hampshire. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., is considering a rough timeline for a potential presidential announcement. And allies of Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., are openly talking up her White House prospects.
More than two years before the next presidential election, a shadow primary is already beginning to take shape among at least three fierce Republican critics of former President Donald Trump to determine who is best positioned to occupy the anti-Trump lane in 2024.
Their apparent willingness to run — even if Trump does, as is widely expected — represents a shift from previous years when “Never Trump” operatives failed to recruit any GOP officeholders to challenge the incumbent president. But with the 2024 contest almost in view, the question is no longer whether one of Trump’s prominent Republican critics will run, but how many will mount a campaign and how soon they will announce.

Those close to Cheney, Hogan and Kinzinger expect one of them, if not more, to launch a presidential bid after the 2022 midterms. While all three are nationally known to some degree, their goal would not necessarily be to win the presidency. Above all, they want to hinder Trump’s return to the White House, at least compared with 2020, when his allies cleared the field of any Republican opponents and persuaded some states to cancel primary contests altogether.
“It’s there as an option, but it’s not necessarily because this is all some big plan so I can be in the White House,” Kinzinger told The Associated Press when asked about his timeline for deciding on a presidential run. “It’s looking and saying, ‘Is there going to be a voice out there that can represent from that megaphone the importance of defending this country and democracy and what America is about?’ There certainly, I’m sure within the next year or so, will be a point at which you have to make a decision.
“If it’s not me doing anything, certainly we’ll be all in for whoever can represent us,” Kinzinger said.
Republican primary voters are expected to have other options.
Several former Trump loyalists who have emerged as on-again, off-again Trump critics are also eyeing the GOP’s next presidential nomination. Among them: former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former Vice President Mike Pence, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley. But most in this group have offered Trump far more praise than criticism, leaving the likes of Cheney, Hogan and Kinzinger as the only consistent Trump antagonists in the 2024 conversation.
The range of prospects suggests an openness within the GOP to move past Trump and his divisive politics, even as many Republican voters suggest they would like to see him run a third time.
About 7 in 10 Republicans said the former president should run for president again in 2024, according to a CBS poll last month. Among the most common reasons they cited: He’s the best Republican candidate and has the best chance of winning.
Lest anyone question his intentions, Trump told thousands of supporters Saturday night in South Carolina, “We may have to run again.” He remains the most popular figure among Republican voters and plans to use the upcoming midterms to keep bending the party in his direction. He was in South Carolina, for instance, to support GOP rivals to two incumbent members of Congress who have crossed him.
But those close to Cheney, Hogan and Kinzinger insist a significant number of less vocal Republican voters are eager to move past Trump, especially after he inspired the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. After all, 10 Republican representatives voted to impeach Trump and seven Republican senators subsequently voted to convict him.
“There is a large and growing lane of Republicans and Americans across the political spectrum who are fed up with toxic politics and want to move in a new direction,” Hogan told the AP. “While I’m focused on finishing my term as governor strong, I’m going to continue to stand up and be a voice for getting our party and our country back on the right track.”
For now, Cheney, Hogan and Kinzinger remain friendly and in semi-regular contact.
The 65-year-old, term-limited Hogan will leave office at the end of the year. He already decided against a 2022 Senate campaign, rebuffing an aggressive lobbying effort from Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell. He said he saw himself as an executive more than a legislator.
Kinzinger, among 10 Republican House members who voted to impeach Trump, chose not to seek reelection after his district was redrawn in the Democrats’ favor. Only Cheney, who also voted to impeach, is running to retain her seat in this fall’s midterms, although she is no lock to win her primary election in August.
Trump is pushing hard for Cheney’s defeat. And while her allies indicate she is focused on her reelection, it’s an open secret that she is seriously considering a presidential run once the 2022 race is decided.
By some measures, the 55-year-old daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney has the strongest national profile. Cheney is building a national fundraising network, as demonstrated by a $7.1 million fundraising haul in 2021, among the most in the nation for any House member.
Wyoming state Rep. Landon Brown, a Cheney ally, said this network will allow her to compete on a national scale. Of a Cheney presidential run, he said, “I don’t see any reason it wouldn’t” happen.
“She’s opened up the door across the country by standing up on a national platform that bridges that middle gap of the people that were frustrated on both the left and the right,” Brown said. “I don’t think it would be easy, but she would be a formidable candidate, for sure.”
Cheney has encouraged 2024 speculation by delivering prominent speeches about the future of the Republican Party in recent months, including a November address in New Hampshire, which typically hosts the first presidential primary election.
Meanwhile, both Hogan and Kinzinger are building political organizations that could serve as vehicles to promote their presidential ambitions after they leave office early next year.
Hogan’s advocacy group, America United, has millions in the bank, according to an adviser. To strengthen his network, Hogan is planning to travel to Iowa and New Hampshire — the first and second states on the traditional presidential primary calendar — to stump for local candidates in coming months.
Hogan is working to help Trump’s loudest Republican critics in other states as well.
Hogan had lunch last week with Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, who has refused to embrace Trump’s lies about the 2020 election. Hogan also plans to host events for Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and Rep. David Valadao, R-Calif. He voted to impeach Trump for inspiring the Jan. 6 insurrection while Murkowski voted for Trump’s conviction.
Kinzinger’s outside group, Country First, now claims chapters in 38 states and a growing fundraising base.
The 44-year-old Illinois congressman, a lieutenant colonel in the Air National Guard, plans to spend much of the year working to defeat Republicans in the midterms who promote Trump’s false claims of voter fraud. Last month, he announced a plan to encourage Democrats and independents to cast ballots in Republican primaries when possible to oust pro-Trump candidates.
Kinzinger said he would even consider a 2024 run as an independent if that’s the best way to stop Trump, although he prefers to stay a Republican.
“This country is built really for two parties, like it or love it or hate it,” he told the AP. “Never rule anything out. But my hope would be to be able to find the salvation of the GOP.” | https://www.krqe.com/news/politics/republican-trump-critics-lining-up-for-2024-shadow-primary/ | 2022-03-14T16:29:25 | en | 0.967407 |
(NEXSTAR) – An infant star was caught on camera throwing a “stellar tantrum,” according to the European Space Agency.
The moment was captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, a joint effort by NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA).
In the epic photo, the “extremely young” star can be seen shooting out a pinkish, glowing jet of gas at a “supersonic” speed, said the ESA.
“As the jet collides with material surrounding the still-forming star, the shock heats this material and causes it to glow,” explained the agency. “The result is the colorfully wispy structures, which astronomers refer to as Herbig–Haro objects, billowing across the lower right of this image.”

The star and its outburst are located in the Orion Nebula, about 1,250 lightyears from Earth, the space agency said. That’s quite far away, but the Orion Nebula is actually one of the closest sites of star formation to our planet, so scientists keep a close eye on it to learn more about stars and planets in their earliest stages.
This isn’t the first time Hubble has caught this infant star acting up. The telescope captured a similar striking photo in 2015.

MARTIN COUNTY, Fla. (WFLA) — The human remains found in an alligator-infested canal Thursday have been identified as belonging to a St. Lucie County man, according to Martin County deputies.
The Martin County Sheriff’s Office said Friday that detectives found an arm, hand, and part of a leg after an alligator was spotted “guarding the body part” on the Hungryland Preserve, about 30 miles northwest of West Palm Beach.
A second body part was found in a different canal about a mile away. Deputies said the remains were found in what appeared to be a shallow grave.
Using fingerprints from the severed arm, a medical examiner identified the remains as belonging to Dustin Davis Mills, 42, of St. Lucie County.
Mills, authorities say, served time in prison for manufacturing, sale and delivery of marijuana; trafficking in illegal substances; resisting arrest with violence; and battery on law enforcement or firefighter. He was released in February 2020.
Mills is believed to be the victim of a homicide and his remains had signs of being “removed with a sharp instrument,” according to deputies.
The sheriff’s office asked anyone with information on Mills’ death to call deputies at 772-220-7060. | https://www.krqe.com/news/weird/human-remains-found-in-florida-gators-mouth-identified/ | 2022-03-14T16:29:38 | en | 0.972372 |
LANDER, Wyo. (AP) — The aroma of sizzling meat in melted butter wafts from a cast iron pan while Jaden Bales shows his favorite way to cook up the best steak cuts from a big game animal.
The deep red backstrap pieces, similar to filet mignon of beef, are organic and could hardly be more local. They’re from a mule deer hit by a car just down the road from Bales’ rustic home in a cottonwood grove beneath the craggy Wind River Range.
Bales was able to claim the deer thanks to a new state of Wyoming mobile app that’s helping get the meat from animals killed in fender benders from road to table and in the process making roads safer for critters.
State wildlife and highway officials rolled out the app — possibly the first of its kind in the U.S. — this winter when Wyoming joined the 30 or so states that allow people to collect roadkill for food.
The doe was crossing U.S. 287 south of Lander early on the morning of Presidents Day just as Marta Casey was headed out in her Subaru to go snowboarding.
She hadn’t been snowboarding in years. A world traveler who’d only settled in Wyoming a year ago, little did she know she was in for a whole new experience in rural living.
“I tried to slow down and get around it,” said Casey. “It was very … yeah.”
After a Wyoming Highway Patrol trooper took a report and promised to shoot the injured deer, Casey was a couple runs into snowboarding when she remembered the app she heard about from Bales, whom she had just recently met.
She alerted Bales, who soon found the doe and used the app to claim it by entering the species and verifying that it wasn’t killed illegally.
Next thing Casey knew, Bales had hauled the doe home in his pickup truck and Casey was helping cut it up so they could hang the quarters in Bales’ garage.
Wyoming’s new roadkill feature within the state Department of Transportation app helps people quickly claim accidentally killed deer, elk, moose, wild bison or wild turkey after documenting the animal and reviewing the rules for collecting roadkill to eat.
Another purpose is to help people follow the rules. For safety reasons, roadkill in Wyoming may not be collected after dark, along interstate highways or in construction zones.
National parks, such as Yellowstone and Grand Teton, also are off-limits for roadkill retrieval.
Unlike in other states such as Alaska, roadkill meat in Wyoming can’t be donated to anybody, including charities.
The whole carcass must be retrieved, not just the antlers or hide. In Oregon, which allows people to claim roadkill with an online form, people must surrender the head and antlers to wildlife authorities within five days but in Wyoming the whole animal is fair game.
The Wyoming app helps to collect data. By geotagging roadkill with their phones and documenting the species, app users will contribute to the data that help Wyoming wildlife biologists and highway officials decide where to install wildlife crossing signs and other ways of reducing critter deaths.
Wyoming is famous for its abundant wildlife and big game migration routes that are among the longest in North America. From keeping roadsides mowed to installing warning signs and multimillion-dollar wildlife underpasses along migration routes, Wyoming officials have been trying to reduce the at least 6,000 animals killed on the state’s roads each year.
“That’s quite a lot. And we know that the majority of those are mule deer,” Game and Fish Department spokesperson Sara DiRienzo said.
Mule deer, so named for their mule-like ears, inhabit the western half of North America and are generally bigger than the whitetail deer found across the continent.
Wyoming is home to about 400,000 mule deer, or roughly two for every three of the state’s human residents. Although they’re not rare and are still enthusiastically hunted, drought and diminishing habitat have played roles in reducing Wyoming mule numbers by almost 30% in the past 30 years.
“Mule deer already are struggling because of a number of factors. Roadkill collisions don’t help that,” DiRienzo said.
Roadkill is indiscriminate, though, and includes a wide range of scavengers — coyotes, eagles and skunks, to name a few — that feed on highway-killed creatures and end up getting hit themselves.
“You can play the circle of life card and be like, ‘Well, there is never something that is wasted,’” Bales said. “But whenever you’ve got roadkill, it is really dangerous for any of the critters who come and try to eat it.”
In the case of Casey’s deer, Bales, a spokesperson for the Wyoming Wildlife Federation that pushed for Wyoming roadkill legislation last year, got to the meat before any scavenging animals could risk getting hit.
You don’t have to know the person who struck roadkill to be able to claim it in Wyoming, but it’s not a bad idea. Bales said he never would have claimed the deer without knowing it had died only a few hours earlier and was still fresh.
Bales mailed in a lymph node from the animal to be tested for chronic wasting disease, a neurological illness similar to mad cow disease that’s been spreading through U.S. deer populations for decades, and it came back negative.
After cutting up the deer, Bales and Casey sliced the heart and ate it fried in observance of a tradition that Bales, an avid hunter, grew up with. From there, they carved off roasts and steaks and smaller bits destined for grinding up like hamburger.
Casey had never hunted before and had only eaten wild game a couple times but liked the idea of at least making use of the animal that put her car in the body shop.
“It’s always been important to me to understand where our food comes from,” she said.
Bales prepared the prized backstraps using a family recipe that includes seasoned salt and fresh-ground fennel seeds.
The verdict? Tender, tasty … delicious. | https://www.krqe.com/news/weird/road-to-table-wyomings-got-a-new-app-for-claiming-roadkill/ | 2022-03-14T16:29:44 | en | 0.965084 |
GREENSBORO, N.C (WGHP) — A mechanic’s arm was amputated after working with a machine that did not have a safety guard at a U.S. Postal Service facility in Greensboro, North Carolina, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
“The U.S. Postal Service ignored long-established safety standards and put workers at risk,” said OSHA Area Director Kimberley Morton. “The USPS has an obligation to eliminate hazards to ensure safe working conditions and prevent another worker from suffering a tragic and life-altering injury.”
The mechanic suffered the “life-changing” injury on Sept. 27 at the USPS Greensboro Network Distribution Center, according to USDOL. The worker reportedly made contact with a machine that was supposed to have a safety guard, but that safety guard had been removed.
As a result, the worker’s arm was amputated.
The department said the facility where the injury occurred is “a bulk mail processing and distribution center where a programmable network of heavy conveyor lines and other systems handles packages for delivery. “

The injury led to an inspection by the Operational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), which allegedly uncovered repeat and serious safety violations, including failure to make sure safety guards were in place.
USDOL reports that staff was not trained in how to safely work near conveyors or using “lockout/tagout” safety measures.
The facility also allegedly allowed workers without the proper training or protective gear to test live electrical equipment.
OSHA issued two serious and two repeat citations, adding up to a potential $170,918 in fines.
The postal service has 15 business days after receiving the list of citations to make changes, set up an informal meeting with OSHA’s area director or contest the findings. | https://www.krqe.com/news/weird/usps-workers-arm-amputated-after-using-unsafe-machine/ | 2022-03-14T16:29:50 | en | 0.959868 |

It's the first time oil has traded below $100 since March 1.
Brent crude, the world benchmark, dropped more than 7% to $104.35 a barrel in recent trading. That marks a sharp pullback from the recent peak of nearly $140 a barrel.
Traders blamed Monday's losses concerns about COVID-19 lockdowns in China and hopes for progress in negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Tesla founder and billionaire Elon Musk wants to fight Russian president Vladimir Putin for Ukraine.
At least, that’s what Musk said on his Twitter account.
Musk challenged Putin to “single combat” in a tweet at 6:09 a.m. Monday.
“I hereby challenge Владимир Путин to single combat,” the tweet said. The Russian words in the tweet translate directly to Vladimir Putin, according to Google Translate.

Musk said the stakes of the fight would be “Україна.” Translated to English, that’s Ukraine. Musk doubled down on the offer an hour later, asking Putin in Russian if he would accept the challenge.
When responding to the follow-up question, one user asked, “Did you think this through?” Musk replied, “I am absolutely serious.”
Last month, Musk said he would send SpaceX’s Starlink broadband internet service to Ukraine after a request from one of its leaders. The combat related to the Russian invasion knocked out much of the country’s connectivity.
Musk also tweeted recently that Starlink will not block Russian news sources despite getting requests from some governments. | https://www.krqe.com/news/world/elon-musk-tries-to-pick-fight-with-vladimir-putin-on-twitter/ | 2022-03-14T16:29:56 | en | 0.927138 |

(The Hill) — Democrats and Republican in Congress are deeply worried about the spiraling Russian war with Ukraine, fearing it could eventually draw the U.S. into a direct conflict with Russian troops.
Lawmakers in both parties say they support President Joe Biden’s decision to draw the line at putting U.S. troops on the ground in Ukraine or enforcing a no-fly zone over the country, fearing that such moves could spark a much bigger war.
“This is the most dangerous moment since the Cuban missile crisis,” warned Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), the chairman of the Senate Appropriations Homeland Security Subcommittee.
“We have never been this close to direct conflict with Russia,” added Murphy, who along with other senators wants to quash calls for U.S. fighter jets to impose a no-fly zone over Ukraine to stop the bombing of Ukrainian defense forces and civilians.
He noted that the United States never directly and openly supported insurgents who battled with Soviet troops in Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Afghanistan in the 1950s, 1960s and 1980s. Murphy also emphasized that U.S. support for Mujahideen soldiers who successfully fought off a Soviet invasion in Afghanistan was done covertly through the CIA.

“We made the right decision to openly support the Ukrainians but we just should understand the unprecedented moment that we’re living in today where we’re openly funding war against a nuclear power,” he said.
Murphy made his comments shortly before Congress passed $13.6 billion in aid to Ukraine. Roughly half that amount will go to the Pentagon to replace equipment that has already been sent to Ukrainian forces.
The aid package passed the Senate by a vote of 68 to 31 and the House by a vote of 361 to 69 but lawmakers who voted for it admitted that they are nonetheless nervous about Russian President Vladimir Putin’s potential reaction.
Democratic and Republican senators believe Putin has become increasingly erratic and unpredictable and worry that he is now surrounded by advisers who aren’t willing to oppose reckless decisions.
Sen. John Hickenlooper (D-Colo.) said among those worried the conflict could escalate to a fight between U.S. and Russian forces.
“Of course, of course, is there anybody in this building who’s not concerned about that? Because if there is, there’s going to be a recall effort,” he said.
“It’s a delicate, delicate dance. You’ve got to really be thoughtful because the man we’re dealing with doesn’t appear to be the same person we were dealing with five years ago,” he said, referring to Putin. “And I’m not sure I’ve heard anybody who feels confident that they can predict what his response will be to any action we may take.
“We’ve got to be very, very careful,” he added.
The fighting came closer to NATO forces stationed in Poland over the weekend when Russian missiles struck a military facility in western Ukraine about 15 miles from the Polish-Ukrainian border, killing 35 people and injuring more than 130.
Republican leaders have loudly criticized President Biden’s handling of many issues, foreign and domestic, including his reluctance to beef up sanctions on Russia before the invasion. But they solidly support his decision to keep U.S. troops out of direct conflict.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) told reporters Tuesday that he doesn’t see a role of U.S. fighter jets in Ukrainian airspace.
“There are a number of ways to potentially have an impact in the sky. Stingers, drones and airplanes — and we just discussed the possibility of getting these Russian-era MiGs out of Poland and into Ukraine,” he said, making reference to a proposal to send U.S. aircraft to Poland to replace Soviet-era fighters sent to Ukraine.
“But I don’t think any NATO country, certainly not ours, is prepared to directly engage with Russians over Ukraine,” he cautioned.
Some prominent defense policy thinkers have advocated for NATO allies enforcing a no-fly zone over Ukraine, including Sen. Roger Wicker (Miss.), who is poised to become the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, and former Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), the former chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee and a former member of the Armed Services panel.
“The North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s refusal to give Ukraine no-fly protection from the continuing, indiscriminate and inhumane Russian attacks from the air is strategically weak and morally wrong,” Lieberman wrote in a recent Wall Street Journal op-ed.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) told Fox’s “Sunday Morning Futures” that he would support declaring a no-fly zone over Ukraine if Russian forces use chemical weapons.
Other senators, however, say fear of escalating the conflict is a major reason why the Biden administration backed away from a plan to replace MiG-29 fighter jets sent by Poland to Ukraine with U.S. jets.
Senators, however, say fear of escalating the conflict is a major reason why the Biden administration backed away from a plan to replace MiG-29 fighter jets sent by Poland to Ukraine with U.S. jets.
Pentagon spokesman John Kirby told reporters Wednesday the transfer was deemed too “high-risk.”
He said the intelligence community advised it “could result in significant Russian reaction that might increase the prospects of military escalation with NATO.”
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) warned the war in Ukraine could easily blow up into a much bigger war.
“I, like most people here, fortunately, don’t want to have U.S. troops directly involved and will do everything to oppose that,” he said.
“There’s always a danger of escalating it,” he said. “The main thing is that we need to be very conscious that rational, sound voices are thinking through what we do before we do it.
“I would say the rhetoric on television and amongst a lot of members of Congress is overly emotional and not soundly reasoned and thoughtful. That’s what you require if you don’t want to get into a world war,” he added.
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), a senior member of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, said the situation is scary because Putin is so unpredictable.
He said direct hostilities between U.S. and Russian forces “is what everyone wants to avoid.”
“That is the danger, that’s what everybody’s concerned about,” he added.
Johnson, the ranking Republican of the Foreign Relations Europe and Regional Security Cooperation Subcommittee, said European ambassadors were shocked and surprised by Putin’s brazen invasion.
“Talking to the ambassadors from countries in that region, to an ambassador, none of them thought he would do this,” he said. “They were so thoroughly convinced because it just makes no sense.
Johnson said Putin’s inner circle of advisors has been winnowed down to a coterie of “yes men” who “gave him way to rosy a scenario” about the success of the invasion.
“When Putin starts talking about nuclear weapons and putting his nuclear forces on a level of higher alert, it scares the you-know-what out of people,” he said.

Pies around the world — sweet and savory pastries to celebrate Pi Day
March 14 is Pi Day in honor of the first three digits of the mathematical constant π (3.1415...). But it's also a flimsy, yet delicious, excuse to celebrate an enduring culinary concept: the many edible varieties of pie around the world.
Classic American apple and cherry varieties might be the first dishes that come to mind when the word "pie" is mentioned. But they're just a slice of the sweet and savory pies available to pastry lovers from Florida to the Philippines.
Under the broad definition of a pie as a filled, baked pastry shell, history has provided a wide range of pies. Egyptian hieroglyphics show pastries filled with honey, nuts and fruit, while ancient Greeks and Romans supped on free-form pies filled with both sweets and meats.
From there, the world of pies has only expanded. Try a few of these international pies when you're traveling or bake your own at home.
Meat pies
In ancient Rome, early meat pies used dough merely as a vessel for preserving the meat's tenderness, not for eating with the filling. It took a few centuries (and recipe improvements) for the idea of eating the crust and the meat filling to catch on.
The British and their colonies seem to have perfected the art of the meat pie. Steak and ale pie is a pub favorite and has its roots in medieval pies, which used local meats, game and vegetables in a pastry crust.
Tourtière is a hearty French-Canadian meat pie traditionally filled with ground pork and served during the Christmas season. A salmon version of tourtière is common for those who grew up along the coast.
In Australia and New Zealand, meat pies split the difference between a traditional pie and a handheld pie: round double-crust pies sized down to be single-serving meals. Beef and gravy is the most common filling for these pies, which are often topped with ketchup or tomato sauce.
Speaking of handheld meat pies, their ingenuity spans the globe. Cornish pasties were popularized as a food for miners, but are now so beloved that they're protected by geographic origin.
Jamaican beef patties and Nigerian meat pies are similar, but the Jamaican patty is differentiated by its golden, turmeric-infused crust and spiced filling.
And empanadas, thought to have originated in Galicia, Spain, are eaten all over Latin America and in the Philippines, among other places.
Other savory pies
As one of the birthplaces of pie, Greek cuisine has its share of sweet and savory pies to choose from. Spanakopita is one of the most well-known, featuring a spinach and feta filling inside flaky phyllo dough, but there's also its cousin hortopita, made with wild greens; tiropita, a savory cheese pie; and maridopita, a fish pie.
Layers of flaky phyllo also form the crust for Albanian burek or byrek, savory pies that can be filled with everything from ground meat to spinach and cheese. The tomato and onion version of this pie is often known as Albanian pizza, layering caramelized onions and stewed tomatoes.
Sweet and savory pies
While meat pies were the norm for much of the pie's early history, the spices used in many of these pastries bridged the gap between savory and sweet.
Pastilla, a Moroccan pie that also goes by the names bisteeya or b'stilla, is a spiced pie that combines poultry, almonds and eggs. Though pigeon or squab has been the traditional poultry of choice, easier modern versions substitute chicken in the pie.
If you're familiar with the souffle-like texture of corn spoon bread or corn pudding, American sweet corn custard pie is one step further in the dessert direction. Adding fresh corn kernels to a sweet custard or chess pie filling is a common theme for bakers and gardeners making the most of late summer produce.
Fruit pies
Forget four and twenty blackbirds — if it grows on a tree, it can likely be baked into a pie. Fruit pies are one of the finest ways to enjoy seasonal produce.
Some of the fruit pies well known in North America today originated with colonists who brought seeds from Europe or added ingredients native to North America to their baking traditions.
Rhubarb became a popular pie filling in New England by the 1820s and spread south and west with the population. Concord grape pie uses the juicy, dark-skinned grapes native to North America (yes, the ones in every kid's favorite jar of jelly).
Persimmon pies are found in family recipe files throughout the eastern United States, taking advantage of another native fruit that can be grown as far west as Iowa and as far north as Connecticut. With a texture similar to pumpkin pie, it's no wonder this is a pie perfect for the fall harvest season.
Apple pie is enshrined as the quintessential American pie — as Jack Kerouac wrote in "On the Road": "I ate another apple pie and ice cream; that's practically all I ate all the way across the country."
But apple pie has its roots in Europe, with many of the apple varieties we know today imported to the North American continent.
Vlaai are Dutch fruit pies made with yeasted brioche-style dough instead of the usual butter pastry crust. Though they can be filled with fruits such as apricots, plums, and cherries, a Dutch appelvlaai bridges Old and New World dessert traditions.
Other sweet pies
If cooked fruit fillings aren't your favorite, let pies with creamy fillings fulfill your dessert fantasies.
Fans of coconut cream pie should seek out Filipino buko pie, a specialty of the Laguna province. This double-crust pie is filled with strips of buko, or young coconut, suspended in a creamy coconut custard.
British Banoffee pie is fairly modern by pie standards. Created by the chef and owner of The Hungry Monk restaurant in East Sussex, England, in the 1970s, it's now a no-bake classic. The name is a portmanteau of its main ingredients: bananas and toffee sauce. While the original recipe (spelled banoffi) calls for a pastry crust, many iterations use a biscuit or graham cracker crust instead.
Tangy Key lime pie is a must-have when visiting Key West, Florida, where it's frequently served frozen in a crunchy chocolate shell.
Further up the East Coast, Atlantic Beach pie from North Carolina is a saltier take on the cool citrus pie. Crushed Saltine crackers form the crust base, and a tangy lemon-lime filling gives citrus fans the best of both worlds. | https://www.wbaltv.com/article/pies-around-the-world-sweet-and-savory-pastries-to-celebrate-pi-day/39427842 | 2022-03-14T16:30:06 | en | 0.946979 |

The Delhi High Court, on Tuesday, will hear the Delhi State Anganwadi Workers & Helpers Union’s (DSAWHU) petition challenging the termination of its several members from service. The petition also prays for their immediate reinstatement with back wages and continuity of services. The matter was mentioned for urgent listing before the court on Monday.
The union in the petition states that it conducted a “peaceful and legal strike” between January 31 and March 9 after giving a notice of strike on January 27. The strike was called off after the government issued a prohibition on the strike and all the members were asked to report back immediately for duty, it adds.
However, the union has said the workers were soon asked to sign apology letters and give an assurance about not going on strike in future. “This perfectly peaceful end to the strike was sabotaged by the speech of Navlendra Kumar Singh, Joint Director, Department of Women and Child Development who gave direct orders to terminate the services on a mass scale for mere participation in the strike,” reads the petition filed through advocate Sneha Mukherjee.
The petition states that over 3,000 show cause notices have been issued to the anganwadi workers and helpers and over 150 termination orders have been issued “without hearing and holding any enquiry”. The termination letters are “exact copy paste of each other” and they have been passed without “any application of mind”, it argues.
“It is the case of the Petitioner union that these termination letters would increase to over 500 plus Anganwadi workers and helpers when their case is heard before the Hon’ble Court. These letters are being sent in most casual manner, without any application of mind, without holding any enquiry and its only motive is vindictive in nature,” reads the plea further.
The workers had earlier gone on strike demanding regularisation and increased honorarium. They also are seeking other benefits also from the government for the services they render.

Superstar Aamir Khan on Monday teased that he might headline the Hindi remake of Spanish film Campeones. The 2018 film reportedly follows the life of an arrogant, drunkard coach, who trains a team of intellectually disabled people.
There were reports that Aamir is in talks to headline the project, which would be directed by Shubh Mangal Saavdhan director RS Prasanna.
During a press conference to celebrate Aamir Khan‘s 57th birthday, when asked about an update on the remake, the actor told reporters, “I haven’t announced my next film yet. How did you get to know? Planning is on. I’ll let you know soon”.
The actor will be next seen in Laal Singh Chaddha, the official Hindi remake of 1994 Hollywood blockbuster Forrest Gump, featuring Tom Hanks.
The film is getting readied to release on August 11.
“I think now we will get the time to finish our film the way we had intended to now that it’s coming out on August 11. We are trying to make a good film,” he said.
The production of Laal Singh Chaddha was hit due to the coronavirus pandemic, with even the film’s release being pushed several times.
Aamir Khan, who had also contracted Covid-19, said dealing with the pandemic was a “unique phase”.
“We hadn’t expected it or faced this before. We all were trying to deal with it. Laal Singh Chaddha happened during that time. We have done our best. In a creative work, you work with all your emotions with your team.
“When that is interrupted, right when you’re ready to go with all your emotions, it’s very difficult. Not just us, everyone in filmmaking had to pause that process and hold their emotions. It was difficult but we tried to do our best,” he added.

MARIUPOL, Ukraine (AP) — A tank emblazoned with a giant Z backs up clumsily in the besieged city of Mariupol, crashing into destroyed buses before letting loose a shell. Ukrainian fighters later destroyed it, notching up one small victory.
An Associated Press journalist witnessed tanks firing on a 9-story apartment block and was among a group of medical workers who came under sniper fire Friday in the city completely surrounded by Russian soldiers.
The video he shot shows shells exploding as they hit the apartment block, already severely damaged, setting balconies on fire. It wasn’t possible to tell whether the Russian positions had first received fire from the targeted locations.

At another point, a medical worker was hit in the hip by sniper fire. She survived, but conditions in the hospital were deteriorating. Windows rattled from nearby tank and artillery fire, electricity was reserved for operating tables, and the hallways were lined with people with nowhere else to go.
One of them was Anastasia Erashova, who wept and trembled as she held a sleeping child. Shelling had just killed her other child as well as her brother’s child. Erashova’s scalp was encrusted with blood.
“We came to my brother’s (place), all of us together. The women and children went underground and then some mortar struck that building. We were trapped underground, and two children died. No one was able to save them,” she said through tears.
Her anguish deepened, and she cried out: “I don’t know where to run to. Who will bring back our children, who?”
In a video message broadcast to European cities on Saturday, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the families of the 79 children killed in the war “had been destroyed,’’ and pleaded for help from Europe so that the number does not grow.
Zelenskyy emphasized the plight of Mariupol, a port city of 430,000 in southeastern Ukraine, surrounded by Russian troops.
“They are bombing it 24 hours a day … launching missiles,’’ he said, recalling the destruction this week of a maternity hospital in the city. “It is hatred. They kill children. They destroy maternity hospitals. They destroy hospitals, why? So Ukraine has no more children.”
“This is happening in all of our country. They have destroyed dozens of hospitals, hundreds of schools and day cares, they are destroying universities, they are destroying residential quarters,’’ Zelenskyy said. “Imagine how we can survive, what it means for us Ukrainians and our families, for our children. What it means when you cannot even find the peace in church because Russians are bombing even the churches.”
He sought help from European countries to defend Ukraine but also the continent’s own way of life. He again appealed for protection of Ukraine’s skies.
The night before in Mariupol, a building that was hit by tank fire during the day still burned later in the night. No one was around to extinguish the flames. | https://www.krqe.com/news/world/reporter-records-tank-and-sniper-fire-in-besieged-mariupol/ | 2022-03-14T16:30:10 | en | 0.976227 |
Filmmaker Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri on Monday described his latest release The Kashmir Files, based on the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the Valley in 1990, as a film with universal appeal.
The film, which released last week, is written and directed by Agnihotri and stars Anupam Kher, Mithun Chakraborty and Pallavi Joshi.
“I wanted to make a sensitive film that has universal resonance… The whole world loves this film, the sensibilities of this film are international. I wanted to show the truth to the whole world,” the director said at a press conference.
Hailing cinema as a “soft power”, Agnihotri said he hopes the film can help India expand its diplomatic reach.
The director said he was inspired by Hollywood to make films that praise the country and present its greatness to the world.
“That’s why we went everywhere in America to show the film. Our focus was not to show the film to Indians. We focused on Americans, Blacks, Whites, Hispanics and others,” he added.
Surinder Kaul, co-founder of the Global Kashmiri Pandit Diaspora, who was also present at the event, said he had approached many Bollywood directors in the past to make a film highlighting the plight of the community.
“Many films were made on Kashmir but either they romanticised terrorism or glorified it. Our painful story was whitewashed completely. We approached many Bollywood directors to tell our story and I’m ashamed to say, our request was sidelined,” the US-based Kaul said.
Anupam Kher said the film has the support of the world.
“We have used knowledge, debate and as Kaul sahab said he approached many and finally Vivek agreed. He researched for four years and spoke to many people (from the community),” the veteran actor added.
On being asked whether the film could only be possible in Bollywood because there was a BJP government in power, Kher said, “That’s true.”
“Every film has its time.. ,” he said.
Pallavi Joshi said that during the research, the team also started feeling the pain the community has suffered in the last 32 years .
“We spoke to 700 people and we have shown their pain. During our research, we also started feeling their pain and felt like we were Kashmiri Pandits,” Joshi, who is also Agnihotri’s wife, said.
Vivek Agnihotri’s earlier films include Tashkent Files, Hate Story and Buddha in a Traffic Jam.
The Kashmir Files is produced by Zee Studios.

Five shootings targeting sleeping homeless men in New York City and Washington, D.C., over the past two weeks were carried out by a single suspect who is now the subject of an "urgent" manhunt, officials said Sunday.The mayors of both cities issued a joint statement Sunday saying there was a "cold-blooded killer on the loose."

(The Hill) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will speak virtually to members of Congress on Wednesday, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) announced in a joint letter.
“As war rages on in Ukraine, it is with great respect and admiration for the Ukrainian people that we invite all Members of the House and Senate to attend a Virtual Address to the United States Congress delivered by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine on Wednesday, March 16th at 9:00 a.m.,” they wrote.
The speech is only open to members of Congress. To attend, lawmakers who aren’t fully vaccinated will need to wear a mask.
The virtual address comes after roughly 300 members of both the House and Senate participated in a Zoom call with Zelensky earlier this month.

Since then, Congress has moved to provide $13.6 billion in Ukraine-related aid. The House also passed legislation last week to cut off Russian oil and is expected to take up legislation this week ending normal trade relations with Moscow.
But Zelensky has pushed the United States, along with countries in Europe, to help implement a no-fly zone.
The administration and lawmakers are largely opposed to that because of concerns it would lead to direct conflict between the United States and Russia and spiral into a larger war. Zelensky is also asking for more planes and other military equipment as Ukraine tries to fight off a much larger Russian army.
“The Congress remains unwavering in our commitment to supporting Ukraine as they face Putin’s cruel and diabolical aggression, and to passing legislation to cripple and isolate the Russian economy as well as deliver humanitarian, security and economic assistance to Ukraine. We look forward to the privilege of welcoming President Zelenskyy’s address to the House and Senate and to convey our support to the people of Ukraine as they bravely defend democracy,” Pelosi and Schumer wrote in the letter. | https://www.krqe.com/news/world/zelensky-to-make-virtual-address-to-us-congress/ | 2022-03-14T16:30:18 | en | 0.964983 |
British actor Benedict Cumberbatch said on Sunday he hoped to take part in a UK government scheme to offer Ukrainian refugees somewhere to live.
The new “Homes for Ukraine” scheme will allow members of the public, charities, businesses and community groups to offer accommodation to refugees to come to Britain even if they do not have family ties.
“It is a really shocking time to be a European two and a half hours flight away from Ukraine, and it’s something that hangs over us,” Cumberbatch told Sky News on the red carpet of the British Academy Film Awards at London’s Royal Albert Hall.
Benedict Cumberbatch, known for his roles in Sherlock, The Imitation Game and Doctor Strange, was wearing a round badge with the blue and yellow of the Ukrainian flag on the lapel of his jacket.
“We all need … to do more than wear a badge. We need to donate, we need to pressure our politicians to continue to create some kind of a refugee safety and a haven here for people who are suffering,” he said.
“Everyone needs to do as much as they can … there’s been a record number of people volunteering to take people into their homes, I hope to be part of that myself.”
Benedict Cumberbatch was up at the BAFTAs for the leading actor award for his portrayal of a 1920s rancher in The Power of the Dog.

By Shamil Shams & Ahmad Hakimi
The Taliban’s return to power in Afghanistan was dubbed a monumental security challenge for the international community. A humanitarian crisis ensued, with millions of Afghans plunged into poverty, and the country’s economy began to collapse.
Major world powers scrambled to tackle the situation, and efforts were made to ensure Afghanistan’s stability and put pressure on the country’s new Islamic fundamentalist rulers.
Seven months later, Afghanistan is no longer a main concern for Western powers, as they shift their focus to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Observers say the Taliban see it as an opportunity to implement their hard-line policies in the country, knowing that the international community is “busy elsewhere.”
Regrouping of militants
Tamim Asey, the executive chairman of Kabul’s Institute of War and Peace Studies and a visiting research fellow at King’s College London, told DW that he believes “a lack of international interest” in Afghanistan’s crisis could pave the way for terror groups and criminal networks to regather and regain strength.
“Unfortunately, Afghanistan has taken a backseat. This will push Afghanistan further into turmoil and will provide an opportunity for transnational criminal networks to recover,” he told DW.
Few in the West see an immediate security threat emanating from Afghanistan. So far, the Taliban are seeking to gain international recognition and financial aid and have been more inclined toward a “diplomatic” approach than employing violent tactics.
But experts say this superficial calm may not last for long.
“History tells us that humanitarian crises could lead to violent conflicts. It is easier for terrorist groups to operate in a country that is facing economic turmoil. Afghanistan is no exception,” Shamroz Khan Masjidi, an Afghan political analyst, told DW.
Aggravating humanitarian crisis
If the humanitarian crisis is aggravated in Afghanistan, even the Taliban won’t be able to manage the situation, as evidenced by recent violent attacks by the Islamic State group.
Salahuddin Ludin, a political expert in Afghanistan, told DW that life has become “extremely difficult” for most Afghans.
“International aid organizations have left the country. The Taliban are unable to pay the wages to government employees. The public health care sector is in a disarray,” he pointed out.
Apart from the suffering of the rural population, even Afghans based in cities are finding it impossible to make ends meet.
Ludin said many Afghans had put their savings in bank accounts: “Now, they cannot access them. Afghan businessmen, for instance, cannot make international transfers, which has resulted in high commodity prices in the country.”
The Taliban have been demanding that the United States release Afghanistan’s frozen assets so that they can tackle the worsening economic crisis. Washington has refused to hand over the money to them, which means that Afghanistan’s Islamist rulers could look for “financial aid” from “non-state actors,” say experts.
A forgotten crisis?
Sardar Mohammad Rahman Ughelli, Afghanistan’s former ambassador to Ukraine, says the world is already “forgetting” about the Afghanistan crisis.
“Even the international media is not covering the crisis in Afghanistan,” he said, adding that the Taliban are now free to implement their regressive policies in the country.
Some observers say the current situation is disturbingly similar to the geopolitical scenario in the late 1990s. The Taliban seized power in 1996, but the international community did not fully grasp the potential consequences of the new paradigm.

Away from the global spotlight — and with a lack of world interest in Afghan affairs — the country became a hub of local and international militant groups.
“The Taliban have ties with international terrorists. Their return to power has emboldened jihadi organizations in the region. As they consolidate themselves, their tactical and strategic ties with terrorism financiers and sponsors will grow and will eventually jeopardize peace and security in the region and beyond,” Farid Amiri, a former Afghan government official, told DW.
Tariq Farhadi, an adviser to former Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, agrees with this view. “The international community forgot about Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001 during the Taliban’s first regime. It is possible that it will be forgotten again,” he added.
The longer the Taliban stay in power, Amiri said, the more difficult will it get to maintain stability in the region.
“Regional powers will start supporting proxies to keep the violence within Afghanistan’s boundaries. But it will only be a short-term solution to the Afghan conflict,” Amiri said.

The Centre is not planning to make it mandatory for airlines and airports to play Indian music in their flights and terminal premises, Minister of State for Civil Aviation V K Singh said on Monday.
The Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) had on December 27 asked all airlines and airports to consider playing Indian music in their flights and terminals.
The Indian Council of Cultural Relations (ICCR) had on December 23 requested Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia to promote Indian music in flights operated by Indian carriers.
During the current Parliament session, when Congress Rajya Sabha MP Ambika Soni asked “whether government proposes to make it mandatory for Indian airlines and airports to play Indian classical or light vocal and instrumental music”, Singh replied in the negative in his written reply.
On December 27, the MoCA wrote a letter to all airlines and airports stating that music played by most of the airlines across the globe was in quintessential of the country to which the airline belongs, for example, Jazz in an American airline or Mozart in an Austrian airline and Arab music in an airline from the Middle East.
“But, Indian Airlines seldom play Indian music in the flight, whereas, our music has a rich heritage and culture and it has one of the many things every Indian has a reason for truly proud of it,” the ministry noted. India has a rich diversity of traditional music, it noted.
“Owing to India’s vastness and diversity, Indian music encompasses numerous genres in multiple varieties and forms, which include classical music, folk, light vocal, instrumental music, etc,” it mentioned.
India has a history spanning several millennia and developed over several geo-locations spanning the sub-continent, it said. Music in India began as an integral part of the socio-religious life, it noted.
The ministry said it is in receipt of request from ICCR for playing Indian music in the aircraft being operated in india and also at airports.
“It is, therefore, requested to kindly consider playing Indian music in the aircraft being operated in India and at airports following the regulatory requisites,” the ministry stated.
Scindia had on December 23 visited the headquarters of the ICCR here and met its president Vinay Sahasrabuddhe.
The ICCR, which works under the Ministry of External Affairs, had said on Twitter that various suggestions were made during the meeting, “including promotion of Indian music in flights operated by the Indian air companies”. Eminent artists and musicians, including Malini Awasthi, Anu Malik, Kaushal S Inamdar, Shounak Abhisheki, Manjusha Patil K, Sanjeev Abhyankar, Rita Ganguly and Wasifuddin Dagar were also present during the meeting, it added.

A teacher was on Monday afternoon allegedly abducted from near his school to a secluded place and assaulted with sticks by a group of people.
Speaking to reporters, Pradip Kar, a primary teacher at Mariamnagar High School on the outskirts of Agartala, said he was standing in front of the school during recess time when five or six youths called him to a nearby tea shop and started raining blows on him.
“They threatened to kill me for filing a case against them. They threw punches at me, forced me onto a motorcycle, took me to a secluded place, beat me up with sticks and left me there,” Kar said. “There were many people including teachers near the teashop. They did not come to my rescue,” the schoolteacher added.

The schoolteacher named four of the attackers and claimed they were BJP activists. He said he had been assaulted thrice earlier, after which he complained to the police. The latest attack was provoked by the complaint, according to him. The teacher said the attackers also snatched away his wallet which had Rs 7,000 in it. However, he has not filed a police complaint as he is said to be away at the Govind Ballabh Pant Hospital for treatment.
BJP spokesperson Nabendu Bhattacharya said his party strongly opposed any sort of violence.“If there was any assault, police should take proper action at the earliest. But being a schoolteacher, how can he be involved in politics? He is heard saying he participates in political activities. It should be investigated,” Bhattacharya said.
Kar said that assaults on opposition political activists had intensified since the BJP won four states including Uttar Pradesh in recent polls.
The opposition CPM has also accused the saffron party’s workers of stepping up violence on opposition activists and party offices. In a letter to Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb, the CPM state chief said that at least 39 incidents of arson and other attacks on party offices occurred in five subdivisions across the state till March 11 morning—22 of them in West Tripura’s Sadar subdivision.
