Before the Niners make any moves during this free agency period, they’ll need to clear roughly $9-10 million in salary-cap space ahead of the league New Year on Wednesday. The easiest way would be courtesy of a Jimmy Garoppolo trade, which would free up $25 million.
Are we sure there’s a market for Jimmy? As the quarterback dominoes fall, Jimmy remains. The Colts make the most sense, but that'd be telling if they pursue a backup like Marcus Mariota over Jimmy.
The 49ers seem like their hands might be tied as teams know San Francisco needs the cap space, and if they play the waiting game, the Niners will release Garoppolo.
We know who Jimmy the quarterback is t this point. Suppose you add in his injury history and the timing of his most recent surgery. In that case, it’s easy to understand why teams aren’t jumping at the opportunity to throw draft picks at San Francisco for a quarterback who may not be able to throw until July.
If we map out the teams that need a quarterback, here’s how it looks:
New Orleans - Deshaun Watson?
Indianapolis - Mariota?
Steelers -
Seahawks -
Now that Seattle has a top 10 pick in the NFL Draft, they’ve been linked to Malik Willis in the first round. If we assume Detroit, Atlanta, Cleveland, Houston, and Miami stay with their incumbent starters, that leaves Pittsburgh as the lone team for Garoppolo — who you’d assume wouldn’t want to be a part of a rebuild in Seattle.
If you’re Pittsburgh, you can afford to be patient or offer below whatever the 49ers are asking. Then again, you don’t have a quarterback. The last thing you want to do is head into the NFL Draft, picking in the back half of the first round without the most important position in the game.
So, now we wait. Releasing Garoppolo isn’t ideal, but holding out until the NFL Draft means San Francisco takes themselves out of the running to sign any big-name free agent this week. That is, of course, unless they elect to restructure/extend Arik Armstead or Jimmie Ward. | https://www.ninersnation.com/2022/3/14/22976319/49ers-free-agency-garoppolo-release | 2022-03-14T16:53:15 | en | 0.940501 |
TOWN OF DECATUR, Wis. (AP) — One person was injured when a small plane crashed at Brodhead Airport in Green County, sheriff's officials said.
According to authorities, the crash happened Sunday afternoon in the town of Decatur as the pilot was practicing landing techniques. Sgt. Zack Degner said the 1975 Cessna began having some mechanical troubles.
The pilot, Delbert Devries, that as he was attempting to land the plane, speed and weather condition cause it to go beyond the landing strip and overturn. Devries was not seriously injured, but a passenger, John Musser, was taken to a hospital for treatment of his injuries.
The Federal Aviation Administration was notified. | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/1-person-injured-in-crash-of-small-plane-in-Green-17000839.php | 2022-03-14T16:53:18 | en | 0.9783 |

RICHLAND, Wash. (AP) — The budget for the Hanford nuclear reservation for the current fiscal year will be nearly $128 million more than proposed by the Biden administration and about $25 million above the fiscal 2021 budget.
The U.S. Senate approved the budget last week as part of a massive spending bill for the fiscal year that began in October. The Tri-City Herald reports the spending package includes a record high amount of nearly $2.6 billion for maintenance and environmental cleanup of the site in Eastern Washington.
But even that amount falls shy of cleanup costs, Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., pointed out in budget hearings. Congress would need to budget for than $11 billion a year for the next 57 years to complete Hanford cleanup, she said.
The 580-square-mile (1,502-square-kilometer) Hanford site, located along the Columbia River, produced almost two-thirds of the plutonium for the nation’s nuclear weapons program from World War II through the Cold War.
Hanford contains approximately 56 million gallons of radioactive waste stored in 177 underground tanks, representing one of DOE’s largest environmental risks and most complex challenges. | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Congress-approves-money-for-Hanford-nuclear-17000933.php | 2022-03-14T16:53:24 | en | 0.928099 |

This free-agent class of edge rushers is a strong one — with most looking at Chandler Jones, Von Miller, Haason Reddick, and Derek Barnett as some of the headliners that will be signed quickly when free agency opens later this week.
The 49ers have an interesting decision to make with Samson Ebukam’s contract. The former Ram became a productive edge rusher towards the end of the season, as he became more familiar with Kris Kocurek’s scheme, but he’s also due $8.25M this season. That’s a steep price tag for a player of Ebukam’s caliber.
The catch is that Ebukam’s $5.9M base salary is non-guaranteed this season, and if the 49ers were to release him, they would save $6.5M against the salary cap. They could also extend/restructure the deal to soften the cap hit this season.
San Francisco has one of the NFL’s premier rushers in Nick Bosa but can certainly help him out by adding a capable rusher off the other edge. When they traded for Dee Ford, that was the plan, but his availability and health have really hampered that plan.
Another way for the 49ers to add another complementary piece to the rotation would be to sign Chargers’ Uchenna Nwosu. Los Angeles trading for Khalil Mack (and his large cap hit) sealed Nwosu’s fate with the Chargers.
The 26-year old will be looking for a new home, and Kris Kocurek’s scheme could certainly elevate his play. Nwosu finished with five sacks and 40 pressures last season.
According to PFF’s pass-rushing Productivity, he graded out slightly worse than Chandler Jones and Samson Ebukam but better than Frank Clark.
Sports Info Solutions had Nwosu rated with a pressure percentage of 13 percent. That was higher than Jones, Ebukam, Clark, Haason Reddick, and Von Miller.
Nwosu is also a capable defender against the run and his athleticism can certainly boost the 49ers’ depth at defensive line. I think the high-end veterans like Jones, Miller, Clark, Z’Darius Smith find other homes and the 49ers will be looking to add another complementary piece via free agency.
The former Trojan feels similar to Ebukam last season — an athletic edge defender that has untapped potential and can certainly thrive in this defensive scheme. He doesn’t quite have the pass-rushing cache and the 49ers will be betting on upside. There’s some risk, but it could definitely be worth the reward. | https://www.ninersnation.com/2022/3/14/22976433/san-francisco-49ers-nfl-free-agency-uchenna-nwosu-pass-rush-chargers | 2022-03-14T16:53:27 | en | 0.972213 |
Kyle’s update, 9:25 a.m. PT: The Athletic’s Matt Barrows reported the 49ers have checked in on free agent wideouts Jakeem Grant, Ray-Ray McCloud, and Kalif Raymond. The first two would be best-case scenarios for the Niners. Grant is one of the most dynamic returners in the league and Kyle Shanahan could find ways to involve him on offense.
Kyle’s update, 9:08 a.m. PT: Josina Anderson is reporting the 49ers are among five teams to show preliminary interest in Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling, a name we’ve covered in our free agency preview from each division:
WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Packers
The 49ers need a burner. They need a guy who can win down the field and open things up for Brandon Aiyuk at the intermediate level and Deebo Samuel underneath. You can’t complain about weapons after naming those two with George Kittle, but the Niners could use a complement to those players.
Another player that has an injury history, MVS, hasn’t played more than 12 games in a season. When healthy, he’s been a walking big play. MVS has at least a 74-yard reception in each of the past three seasons and is averaging over 18 yards per reception during that stretch. Eighteen of his 26 receptions this past season went for a first down, and MVS averaged 6.2 yards after the catch.
Because of a lengthy injury history, Valdes-Scantling figures to be undervalued on the market. Over the Cap believes his valuation is right around $2.1 million. At 27, with his speed, that’s a touch low. Still, the 49ers could use his services over a guy like Trent Sherfield if the 49ers aren’t going to use him on offense.
Kyle’s update, 8:52 a.m. PT: It’s not even 9 a.m. yet, and the first deal has been announced:
The #Dolphins keep one of their own, reaching an agreement with pass-rusher Emmanuel Oghah on a 4-year deal worth $65M, per @DrewJRosenhaus. He gets $32M fully guaranteed.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 14, 2022
If Ogbah’s deal is any indication of what the free agent edge rusher market will look like, these players are set to get paid.
We’re already off and running in free agency as some NFL teams have begun to release some high-profile names Monday morning. We’ll use this as a tracker for all of the moves around the NFL — especially the rumors surrounding the 49ers.
The action unofficially kicks off Monday at 9 a.m. PT when the “legal” tampering period begins. Tom Brady “returned” to the NFL before the Niners traded Jimmy Garoppolo. Will we finally see a Garoppolo trade announced today? Stay tuned.
Rumors
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler linked quarterback Marcus Mariota somewhat randomly to the 49ers Sunday:
Another option is San Francisco, assuming it trades Jimmy Garoppolo. Mariota could start games while Trey Lance continues to develop, knowing the two have similar skill sets as mobile quarterbacks with run-pass option ability.
The 49ers guaranteed Nate Sudfeld $2 million in 2022. They’re not going to give a third quarterback guaranteed money, so Mariota is unlikely to join San Francisco this offseason.
Fowler also had another head-scratcher, where he said the Niners could be interested in edge rusher Frank Clark of the Chiefs:
A crowded free-agency pool will welcome a few more big names in the coming days. Sources said Kansas City’s Frank Clark is expected to be released, traded or have his contract restructured in the coming days. His $26.3 million cap hit is untenable for the Chiefs. Watch for San Francisco as a potential option here. The 49ers will be looking for a speed rusher to help Nick Bosa and Arik Armstead.
Clark finished the season with only 4.5 sacks and seven tackles for loss this past season. He’d go through long spells of the season without little to no production. Going back to the well for another Chiefs edge rusher would be a surprise. But going after a player such as Clark feels foolish considering who else is available.
Speaking of edge rushers, the Packers released Za’Darius Smith Monday morning:
The #Packers have released Pro Bowl pass-rusher Za'Darius Smith, source said, adding another top defender to free agency. His cap number of $27.6M in 2022 was never going to work. Now, free — and healthy.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 14, 2022
If the 49ers are going to open up their wallet for an edge rusher in free agency, it’ll be difficult to find a better player than Smith.
The Panthers are letting three players the 49ers could be interested in test the free-agent market:
Panthers are expected to let Haason Reddick, Stephon Gilmore and Donte Jackson test the FA market. There's a good chance all three will sign elsewhere for more money.
— Steve Reed (@SteveReedAP) March 14, 2022
Gilmore would be ideal.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Lawmakers on a House panel on Monday approved legislation to boost reading skills among young students with optional full-day kindergarten.
The House Education Committee voted to send to the full House the bill giving school districts the option of full-day kindergarten by using $73 million in literacy intervention money.
Republican Gov. Brad Little has made boosting reading scores among young students a priority, saying good reading skills make for life-long learners and gives students the best chance for a successful academic career and life.
Backers of the bill say about 25% of third-graders aren't reading at grade level, and full-day kindergarten will help.
“We're going to change the trajectory of their lives,” said Republican Rep. Ryan Kerby.
Opponents said the Idaho Constitution only requires spending taxpayer money on education starting in first grade. They also cited high gas prices faced by taxpayers and lack of confidence in results of kindergarten.
The legislation removes any ambiguity that the money can be used for all-day kindergarten. Half of the money will be based on enrollment of students in kindergarten to third grade. The other half will be based on students improving their reading skills, with districts with higher-improving students getting more.
The bill passed the Senate 31-2 last week. | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/House-panel-approves-full-day-kindergarten-17000855.php | 2022-03-14T16:53:37 | en | 0.954846 |

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Clarissa Ward interrupted her live TV report on Ukrainian refugees to help a distraught older man, then a woman, down a steep and explosion-mangled path, gently urging them on in their language.
A day later, Lynsey Addario, a photographer for The New York Times, captured a grim image of a Russian mortar attack’s immediate outcome: the bodies of a mother and her two children crumpled on a road, amid their suitcase, backpacks and a pet carrier.
The memorable reports illustrate both the skill and gutsiness of female journalists serving as eyewitnesses to Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine and the way their presence has changed the nature of war reporting.
They cover the tactics of war, but give equal measure to its toll.
“People are so exhausted, they can barely walk,” Ward told viewers in her report. “It’s just an awful, awful scene. And they’re the lucky ones.”
The author of “You Don't Belong Here,” a 2021 book that profiles three pioneering women who covered the Vietnam War, said there's "absolutely no doubt that the reporting is what I would call more humane, looking at the human side of war.”
Elizabeth Becker argues that Frances FitzGerald of the U.S., Kate Webb of Australia and Catherine Leroy of France were foundational to modern war reporting. Arriving in Southeast Asia on their own dime, without a staff job and little or no journalism experience, they broke the male grip on war reporting with daring and innovation.
Traditionally, “the coverage was the battlefield, which is important,” said award-winning journalist Becker, a 1970s Cambodian war correspondent. She said it took newcomer FitzGerald to ask, “’OK, what does this mean in terms of the Vietnamese and the villages?’”
FitzGerald earned a 1973 Pulitzer and other honors for “Fire in the Lake: The Vietnamese and the Americans in Vietnam,” and her 2017 work, “The Evangelicals: The Struggle to Shape America,” was short-listed for the National Book Award.
War reporting is “a sense of mission, it’s a sense of purpose, it’s a sense of being able to tell a story,” said Christiane Amanpour, the London-born chief international anchor for CNN. “And women are really very good at it, it seems.”
It’s also a matter of logic, said Holly Williams, the Istanbul-based correspondent for CBS News on assignment in Ukraine.
“I’m acutely aware of the fact that if you don’t tell women’s stories, you’re missing at least half of the picture,” said the Australian-born Williams, who has reported on conflicts in Asia, Europe and the Middle East and worked for BBC News.
Ward, who also has hopscotched across those regions, worked for CBS News prior to joining CNN and, before that, was based in Moscow and Beijing for ABC News.
“Often women do have a different perspective on war, and for a long time that was not really at the forefront of a lot of coverage,” Ward said. She strives to include “the humanity behind the story, the experience of ordinary people who are living in war zones. To me, that is equally as important as the military component.”
The prominence of TV correspondents and the reach of their outlets adds to their impact. Oprah Winfrey offered online praise of network reporters “risking their lives to show the world the truth,” singling out Ward as a “fierce, unshakable and outstanding journalist.”
Many of their male colleagues also contribute nuanced reporting, as ABC News veteran Martha Raddatz and others noted. But Raddatz recalls a not-so-distant time when men tended to “love the equipment, love the airplanes.”
Ward and and other female journalists tip their cap to their predecessors, including FitzGerald and the late Martha Gellhorn, whose reporting stretched from WWII to the U.S. invasion of Panama in 1989-90. They also praise recent trailblazers, including Amanpour.
Her decades of conflict reporting include the 1991 Gulf War, subsequent clashes in the Middle East region and, in southeastern Europe, the deadly 1992-96 siege of Sarajevo during the war between Bosnia and Herzegovina.
“I think my generation and myself, we were perhaps the last line of the rare woman foreign correspondent,” Amanpour said. In every form of media it’s “exploded into a very female friendly profession.”
But parity has yet to be achieved in pay, Amanpour said. Or in all journalism jobs, according to Ward.
The growing number of female TV correspondents belies “a fairly male-dominated profession in general,” Ward said. “Don’t forget, the person in front of the camera is one person. Then you have, for TV, four people holding the camera, behind the camera, and most of them are still men.”
In U.S. journalism overall, men retain a numerical advantage over women even in a changing media industry, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of census data. While the number of people working in any facet of print, online or video journalism fell by nearly 17% between 2008 and 2018, men remained a majority at the end of the decade at 64%, “on par with their share in 2008” of 60%, Pew found.
That's widely reflected, according to “The Missing Perspectives of Women in News,” a 2020 report from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Despite progress, “the majority of journalists in newsrooms globally are men,” the report said, citing several multi-country studies.
Female reporters face additional challenges in non-democratic countries and some regions, Amanpour said.
“They come under a huge amount of societal pressure in many parts of the developing world, and certainly in the Islamic world and other areas of what I call the patriarchy,” she said. “It’s very difficult, but they’re doing it and coming out into this profession more and more, and I really applaud them.”
The presence of women reporting in Ukraine is set against a backdrop of traditional roles and expectations, with women and children allowed to flee war’s violence while men are required to stay behind and defend their country.
Yonat Friling, a Jerusalem-based senior producer for Fox News Channel who worked in Ukraine with correspondent Trey Yingst, is aware of how attitudes can vary. In 2004, she was on the international desk for an Israeli TV channel when she asked her boss to switch her to field producer.
“He told me, ‘This is a job for men. Only men can do that,’” recalled the Israeli native. “Then I left, I joined Fox (in 2005). And on several occasions, including this time, I keep texting him, ‘A job for men? Yeah, right.’”
The Ukraine assignment proved deeply emotional for Friling. When she recently joined the stream of refugees leaving Kiev, it was a reminder of grandparents who fled Nazism and Soviet occupiers in Europe in the 1940s.
“I saw children and women, and I (saw) my grandparents in their faces. ... I know how much this is going to influence their whole life and the next generations,” she said.
Raddatz, who covered early refugee evacuations and returned to Ukraine on Friday, realizes how much has changed for her and her female colleagues over the years. The chief global affairs correspondent for ABC News covered the Bosnian crisis in the late 1990s and has focused on Iraq and Afghanistan.
“I remember in Iraq, I always thought that if something happened to me, it (the reaction) would be, ‘How could she do that, go over there when she has two children?’ whereas they would never say that with a guy,” she said. “Now, I don’t think they would do that.”
Family needs and concerns add to the burden of war reporting.
NBC News correspondent Erin McLaughlin said that before Russia struck at Ukraine, the threat of what might happen made her parents worry more than they had over her previous assignments, including in Iraq.
“My brother went to stay with them for the weekend because they were so nervous,” McLaughlin said. “It was really tough, but at the same time they understand that this is my calling. It’s an important job, and someone needs to do it.”
Ward, married and with two children, said her work takes an inevitable toll.
“It’s my son’s 4th birthday today, which has been really hard to miss,” Ward said at the end of another draining day in Ukraine, her voice emotional. “There’s the entire juggling act — you’re FaceTiming with your kids and there’s air raid sirens and bombs going off in the distance.”
“I’m not going to pretend this isn’t hard. But I also wouldn’t be anywhere else right now,” she said.

NEW YORK (AP) — A search was underway Monday for a gunman who has been stalking homeless men sleeping on the streets of Washington, D.C., and New York City, fatally shooting two people and wounding three more in less than two weeks.
Police released surveillance photographs of the suspected gunman late Sunday, including one in which the hooded man can be seen holding a pistol in a blue glove.
The killer's motive — if any — was unknown and authorities turned their attention Monday to trying to offer what protections they could to homeless people who might become targets.
New York Mayor Eric Adams said police officers and homeless outreach teams would focus on finding unhoused people in the subways and other locations and would urge them to seek refuge at city-owned shelters.
“The case is a clear and horrific intentional act of taking the life of someone, it appears, because he was homeless,” Adams said at a news conference late Sunday. “Two individuals were shot while sleeping on the streets, not committing a crime but sleeping on the streets.”
The earliest known shooting happened at around 4 a.m. on March 3 in Washington D.C., police said, when a man was shot and wounded in the city's Northeast section. A second man was wounded on March 8, just before 1:30 a.m.
At 3 a.m. the next day, March 9, police and firefighters found a dead man inside a burning tent. A subsequent autopsy revealed that the man had died of multiple stab and gunshot wounds.
The killer then apparently traveled north to New York City, police said.
At 4:30 a.m. Saturday, a 38-year-old man sleeping on the street in Manhattan not far from the entrance to the Holland Tunnel was shot in his right arm as he slept.
The victim screamed and the gunman fled, police said.
About 90 minutes later, the gunman fatally shot another man on Lafayette Street in SoHo, police said. The man's body was found in his sleeping bag just before 5 p.m. Saturday.
Police determined the same person committed the attacks based on the similarities of each shooting and evidence recovered from the scenes. The victims were attacked without provocation, police said.
“We are committed to sharing every investigative path, clue and piece of evidence with our law enforcement partners to bring this investigation to a swift conclusion and the individual behind these vicious crimes to justice," Metropolitan Police Chief Robert Contee said in a news release.
The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is assisting in the investigation.
The attacks were reminiscent of the beating deaths of four homeless men as they slept on the streets in New York's Chinatown in the fall of 2019. Another homeless man, Randy Santos, has pleaded not guilty to murder charges in those attacks.
A year ago, four people were stabbed in New York City, two fatally, by a man who randomly attacked homeless people in the subway system. That assailant, who was also homeless, is awaiting trial. | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Man-sought-in-homeless-killings-in-New-York-17000873.php | 2022-03-14T16:53:46 | en | 0.979309 |

PHOENIX (AP) — Prosecutors in Arizona's most populous county have dropped nearly 200 criminal cases because charges weren't filed before the statute of limitation ran out.
Ryan Green, a division chief in the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office, told The Arizona Republic that a supervisor never delegated 180 cases to prosecutors.
The cases include drunk driving, domestic violence, assaults and criminal damage incidents that happened in 2020. Most of them were initiated by the Arizona Department of Public Safety and the county sheriff's office.
Green says a staffing shortage and high volume of cases contributed to the issue.
The lapse in case handling comes as County Attorney Allister Adel continues to be questioned about her abilities to lead the office. Some, including former County Attorney Rick Romley, have urged Adel to resign. They say her sobriety struggles have caused her to be absent from crucial day-to-day tasks.
Adel told the newspaper a failure of “a few employees” does not mean she cannot do her job. She says she is committed to ensuring this does not happen again. | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Maricopa-County-prosecutors-forced-to-drop-180-17000888.php | 2022-03-14T16:53:52 | en | 0.978489 |

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Police in South Carolina say a woman is dead and four people are injured after an argument at a party escalated into a shooting.
The Columbia Police Department is investigating the shooting after officers were dispatched early Sunday morning to the Greene Crossing Apartments complex in Columbia.
Police say early information suggests the victims were at a party inside the apartment when an argument started and several people began shooting.
The Richland County Coroner’s Office identified the slain woman as 20-year-old Jamacia Dowling to news outlets on Monday. Four other people between the ages of 16 and 22 were also shot.
Officers arriving at the apartment complex Sunday saw people running and driving away, but did interview several people and gathered evidence at the scene, police said. | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Police-1-dead-4-injured-after-shooting-during-17000767.php | 2022-03-14T16:53:58 | en | 0.982391 |

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The International Committee of the Red Cross has been unable to visit prisons in Myanmar since the start of the coronavirus pandemic in late 2019, a top official said Monday.
Speaking to The Associated Press, Red Cross director-general Robert Mardini said officials with his organization have, however, remained in contact with Myanmar.
“We are in constant dialogue on this on this question," he said. "Our access to detention places has been unfortunately disrupted since the pandemic started, so we are now working to start again those important visits. And at the same time, we are stepping up significantly our humanitarian activities in the country.”
Myanmar's military seized power in February last year, ousting the civilian government of Aung San Suu Kyi, which has likely complicated communication efforts. Resistance to the takeover has now led to what some U.N. experts have characterized as a civil war. Activists say thousands have been arrested. | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Red-Cross-say-it-hasn-t-visited-Myanmar-prisons-17000909.php | 2022-03-14T16:54:04 | en | 0.973937 |

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Authorities believe speed was a factor in a North Las Vegas collision that left two motorcyclists dead.
Sgt. Vince Booker, a North Las Vegas police spokesman, said the crash happened Sunday around Cheyenne and Mary Dee avenues just east of U.S. 15.
Three motorcyclists were riding east when two of them crossed into the westbound lanes. One was hit by an SUV. Another struck a sign on the median.
Booker says both died at the scene.
A woman driving the SUV and the third motorcyclist were hospitalized. Their injuries are non-life-threatening.
Police say the motorcyclists were all men in their 40s and 50s.
The investigation remains ongoing.
The collision happened about a mile away from a car wreck that killed nine people in January. | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Speed-factor-in-deaths-of-2-North-Las-Vegas-17000753.php | 2022-03-14T16:54:23 | en | 0.98451 |
CLEVELAND — Country superstar Dolly Parton announced on Monday that she has decided to "bow out" of her recent nomination for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.
The singer-songwriter took to social media to post the news, announcing that she did not want to be included in the nomination as to not "split votes."
"Even though I am extremely flattered and grateful to be nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, I don't feel that I have earned that right. I really do not want votes to be split because of me, so I must respectfully bow out," Parton said.
— Dolly Parton (@DollyParton) March 14, 2022
While the singer-songwriter declined to be nominated at this time, she went on to outline plans to re-earn a new nomination.
"I do hope that the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame will understand and be willing to consider me again - if I'm ever worthy. This has, however, inspired me to put out a hopefully great rock 'n' roll album at some point in the future, which I have always wanted to do! My husband is a total rock 'n' roll freak and has always encouraged me to do one. I wish all of the nominees good luck, and thank you again for the compliment. Rock on!" Parton wrote.
In February, Parton was nominated for the 2022 Induction Class, joining other nominees, including Beck, Duran Duran, DEVO, Judas Priest, Rage Against the Machine, Lionel Richie Carly Simon, Eminem, and Carly Simon, among others.
While Parton is not traditionally known as a "rock and roll artist," the eligibility to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame doesn't require that. Instead, to be eligible for nomination, an individual artist or band must have released its first commercial recording at least 25 years before the year of the nomination.
Nomination ballots were sent to an international body of more than 1,000 artists, historians, and music industry members.
Factors such as an artist’s musical influence on other artists, length and depth of career and the body of work, innovation, and superiority in style and technique are considered.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has addressed the diversity in genres among the nominees, noting that their music was influential for other artists and the fans who listened.
“This year’s ballot recognizes a diverse group of incredible artists, each who has had a profound impact on the sound of youth culture,” said John Sykes, Chairman of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation. “Their music not only moved generations but also influenced the sound of countless artists that followed.”
Here is the complete list of the 2022 Induction Class, minus Parton:
- Beck
- Pat Benatar
- Kate Bush
- DEVO
- Duran Duran
- Eminem
- Eurythmics
- Judas Priest
- Fela Kuti
- MC5
- New York Dolls
- Rage Against The Machine
- Lionel Richie
- Carly Simon
- A Tribe Called Quest
- Dionne Warwick
Inductees will be announced in May. The ceremony will take place this fall. The date and venue will be announced at a later date.

MARANA, Ariz. — Habitat for Humanity Tucson's 21st Women Build event was the first since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and its largest event yet.
More than 70 women came out to help build homes in Marana, Arizona, over the weekend.
Habitat for Humanity Tucson's Women Build initiative aims to assist women and single mothers in their quest for homeownership.
"Women Build is all about women empowering women, especially in construction and homeownership," said Laura Sanchez of Habitat for Humanity.
One of the homes volunteers helped build will belong to Charlene Miller, a single mother of two.
"It's just going to be a life changing thing for me and my two children," Miller said.
According to Legal Momentum, a nonprofit, women in the U.S. are 35% more likely to live in poverty than men. Single mothers face an even higher risk.
"I'm not making enough," Miller said. "I was literally working three jobs at one time. So just not overworking myself and getting to this point has been a tremendous God blessing."
Stories like Miller's are why Habitat for Humanity Tucson started Women Build 25 years ago.
"(It) really started with a group of women who came together to help a single mom have a home who lived in unsafe conditions," Sanchez said. "Every year, it's grown and grown."
The program also creates a safe environment for women to learn the ins and outs of construction. That way, they can pursue it as a career if they choose.
"Construction is a typically male-dominated field, so it's amazing to see so many women out here with hammers and hard hats," Sanchez said.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — U.S. astronaut Mark Vande Hei has made it through nearly a year in space, but faces what could be his trickiest assignment yet: riding a Russian capsule back to Earth in the midst of deepening tensions between the countries.
NASA insists Vande Hei’s homecoming plans at the end of the month remain unchanged, even as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has resulted in canceled launches, broken contracts and an escalating war of words by the Russian Space Agency’s hardline leader. Many worry Dmitry Rogozin is putting decades of a peaceful off-the-planet partnership at risk, most notably at the International Space Station.
Vande Hei — who on Tuesday breaks the U.S. single spaceflight record of 340 days — is due to leave with two Russians aboard a Soyuz capsule for a touchdown in Kazakhstan on March 30. The astronaut will have logged 355 days in space by then, setting a new U.S. record. The world record of 438 continuous days in space belongs to Russia.
Retired NASA astronaut Scott Kelly, America’s record-holder until Tuesday, is among those sparring with Rogozin, a longtime ally of Vladimir Putin. Enraged by what's going on in Ukraine, Kelly has returned his Russian medal for space exploration to the Russian Embassy in Washington.
Despite the deadly conflict down here, Kelly believes the two sides “can hold it together” up in space.
“We need an example set that two countries that historically have not been on the most friendly of terms, can still work somewhere peacefully. And that somewhere is the International Space Station. That’s why we need to fight to keep it,” Kelly told The Associated Press.
NASA wants to keep the space station running until 2030, as do the European, Japanese and Canadian space agencies, while the Russians have not committed beyond the original end date of 2024 or so.
The U.S. and Russia are the prime operators of the orbiting outpost, permanently occupied for 21 years. Until SpaceX started launching astronauts in 2020, Americans regularly hitched rides on Russian Soyuz capsules for tens of millions of dollars per seat. The U.S. and Russian space agencies are still working on a long-term barter system in which a Russian would launch on a SpaceX capsule beginning this fall and an American would fly up on the Soyuz. That would help ensure a U.S. and Russian station presence at all times.
Vande Hei, 55, a retired Army colonel, moved into the space station last April, launching on a Soyuz from Kazakhstan with Pyotr Dubrov and another Russian. He and Dubrov stayed twice as long as usual to accommodate a Russian film crew that visited in October.
As the situation 260 miles (420 kilometers) below intensified last month, Vande Hei acknowledged he was avoiding conversations about Ukraine with Dubrov and Anton Shkaplerov, their Russian commander. Three more Russians will blast off from Kazakhstan on Friday to replace them.
“We haven’t talked about that too much. I’m not sure we really want to go there,” Vande Hei told a TV interviewer in mid-February.
Space station operations continue as always — in orbit and on Earth, according to NASA.
“It would be a sad day for international operations if we can’t continue to peacefully operate in space,” said NASA’s human spaceflight chief Kathy Lueders, who noted it would be “very difficult” to go it alone.
To mark Tuesday’s milestone, NASA turned to Twitter to gather questions for video-recorded responses, and some asked whether Vande Hei might switch to an American ride home. SpaceX is taking three wealthy businessmen and their ex-astronaut escort to the space station at the end of March for a brief visit. Then in mid-April, SpaceX will deliver four astronauts for NASA before bringing back four who have been on board since November.
NASA and SpaceX officials refuse to speculate on whether a seat could be made available. They say a NASA plane and small team will be on hand in Kazakhstan, as usual, to whisk Vande Hei back home to Houston.
Former NASA astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper, whose father was born in Ukraine, concedes it’s a difficult situation.
“We’re sanctioning Russia. Companies are pulling out of doing business in Russia. But then yet you still have the U.S. government — the space agency — doing business with the Russians,” she said. “You can’t push a button and separate the two” sides of the space station.
Besides threatening to pull out of the space station and drop it on the U.S., Europe or elsewhere, Rogozin had the flags of other countries covered on a Soyuz rocket awaiting liftoff with internet satellites earlier this month. The launch was called off, after the customer, London-based OneWeb, refused his demands that the satellites not be used for military purposes and the British government halt its financial backing.
The European Space Agency also is reeling. After missing a 2020 launch deadline for its Mars rover — a joint European-Russian effort — the project was on track for a September liftoff from Kazakhstan. Now it’s most likely off until 2024, the next opportunity for Earth and Mars to be properly aligned. And Russia has pulled its staff out of the French-run launch site in South America, suspending Soyuz launches of European satellites.
All this comes on top of the Russian government's antisatellite missile test in November that added countless pieces of junk to the debris already encircling Earth and put the space station's four Americans, two Russians and one German on alert for days.
Jeffrey Manber, now with the private Voyager Space company, helped forge U.S. and Russian ties back in the mid-1990s, with the first piece of the space station launching in 1998. He sees the outpost as “one of the final holdouts of collaboration” between the two countries. But, he added, “there is no going back if the partnership is ended and the result is a premature ending of the ISS program.”
Regardless of how things play out at the space station, John Logsdon, professor emeritus at George Washington University, expects it will mark the end of large-scale space cooperation between Russia and the West.
“Russia has been moving toward China already, and the current situation will probably accelerate that move,” he said.
While Vande Hei has been silent on Twitter, Kelly and others have gone into overdrive, taking offense at Rogozin's threats.
Elon Musk's private SpaceX took a swipe at Rogozin after he said Russia would stop supplying rocket engines to U.S. companies — Northrop Grumman and United Launch Alliance — adding they could use broomsticks to get to orbit.
At a launch last week, a SpaceX official responded: “Time to let the American broomstick fly and hear the sounds of freedom.”

TAMPA, Fla. — The Florida Highway Patrol says two men who were changing a tire on the side of an interstate were killed when a passing driver fell asleep at the wheel and hit them. Troopers say the crash happened Sunday on Interstate 275 in Tampa.
A 73-year-old man had pulled over onto the road’s shoulder after a left front tire blew out. Troopers said a 30-year-old friend of the man arrived a short time later to help him with the tire. The two men were on the driver’s side of the car when a car driven by a 36-year-old man swerved into them. | https://www.wtxl.com/media/v/content/b711d3815f1541609688007f2a5fe7ce | 2022-03-14T16:54:37 | en | 0.989077 |
The March Madness bracket is out.
Gonzaga received the top overall seed, with Arizona, Kansas and defending champion Baylor joining the Zags as top seeds.
Early round games in the 68-team tournament start Tuesday.
The nets come down for the final time on April 4 at the Final Four in New Orleans.
This marks the return to the first "normal" tournament since 2019, with teams scattering to eight cities for the first weekend and four more for the Sweet 16.
The tournament was scratched in 2020 due to the then-erupting COVID-19 pandemic.
Last year, all the teams played in and around Indianapolis.
According to FanDuel Sportsbook, the team favored of winning the whole thing is Gonzaga, who are 15-4. Next is Arizona at 6-1, then Kentucky at 15-2 followed by Baylor at 11-1.
According to the Associated Press, players to watch out for are Kentucky’s Oscar Tshiebwe, No. 4 Illinois' Kofi Cockburn and No. 2 Auburn's Jabari Smith. | https://www.fox13now.com/sports/back-to-normal-zags-baylor-join-ku-arizona-as-ncaa-no-1s | 2022-03-14T16:54:40 | en | 0.961137 |

Costco announced Monday that their stores would be returning to regular shopping hours April 18, 2022.
During the pandemic, Costco made several changes, including adding a special shopping hour for members 60 and older, healthcare workers and first responders.
"As most cities, states and counties have lifted their restrictions, we will move back to our regular shopping hours, except where required by local regulations. Costco’s business model has always been one of 'a low cost operator,'” Costco representatives said via Facebook. "This philosophy allows us to provide high quality goods and services to our members at the best possible price." | https://www.wtxl.com/news/local-news/costco-returns-to-regular-shopping-hours | 2022-03-14T16:54:43 | en | 0.971874 |
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Creighton's Ryan Hawkins is leading a charmed life as a basketball player, and he would be the first to tell you.
No school except tiny Wayne State in Nebraska recruited him out of high school, and he planned to go there until a coaching change gave him an out.
He landed at Division II powerhouse Northwest Missouri State, which took a chance on the awkward, skinny 6-foot-7 kid from Iowa and developed him into one of the top players in program history. The Bearcats won three national championships in his five years there.
Now look at him. He's finishing his sixth year as a collegian as the undisputed leader of a new-look Creighton team that overachieved after being picked eighth in the 11-team Big East. The Bluejays (22-11) finished fourth, reached the championship game of the conference tournament and earned the No. 9 seed in the NCAA Midwest Region. They will play eighth-seeded San Diego State (23-8) in Fort Worth, Texas, on Thursday.
“I’ve exceeded my wildest dreams,” the 24-year-old Hawkins said.
Of nine Division II players who transferred to schools in the six major basketball conferences for 2021-22, none has made close to the impact Hawkins has at Creighton.
He leads the Bluejays in scoring (13.9 ppg) and rebounding (7.8 rpg) and was voted to the All-Big East second team after recording a conference-best 11 double-doubles.
Among active NCAA players, Hawkins is second with 2,556 career points and first with 1,206 rebounds. In games he's played for the Bearcats and Bluejays, his teams are 146-18.
“You’re talking about one of the greatest winners in all of college basketball,” Northwest Missouri coach Ben McCollum said.
Hawkins' experience along with his upbeat demeanor made him a perfect fit for Creighton coach Greg McDermott's team, which has had four freshmen play major minutes and has had three start.
“I was just hoping to be able to bring a leadership piece to a team that essentially had a black hole in the leadership category because their whole starting five was gone,” Hawkins said. “I thought I could insert my experience and my ability to stretch the floor into coach McDermott’s offense."
Hawkins grew up about an hour east of Omaha, in Atlantic, Iowa, and played six sports in high school. He dabbled as a quarterback in football and was naturally gifted in track and cross country. He was a star midfielder in soccer and a hard-throwing pitcher in baseball.
He was best at basketball, winning all-state first-team honors in his school's division after averaging 22 points and 13 rebounds per game as a senior. At Northwest Missouri, McCollum said Hawkins was a project, which is why he sat out his first season as a redshirt.
“I remember the first time I watched him play against our guys, and I called my assistant at the time, Austin Meyer, and I said, ‘Coach, I think we might have made a mistake on this one,'” McCollum said. “I compare it to a baby deer on ice. All over the map but super excited, super ready to go.”
Hawkins' improvement was rapid. He shot 46% on 3-pointers over his last two seasons with the Bearcats and was Most Outstanding Player at the 2021 Division II Elite Eight. He had 31 points and 18 rebounds in the national title game against West Texas A&M and left Northwest Missouri as the program's second 2,000-point scorer.
Had it not been for the NCAA allowing players a sixth year of eligibility because of the pandemic, Hawkins said, he would have been looking for a 9-to-5 job after last season. With an extra year to play, he sought a new experience.
About 40 Division I schools called the first day his name was in the transfer portal. He wanted to stay close to home, so when McDermott contacted him, he knew Creighton probably would be where he landed.
McDermott said he never doubted Hawkins' shooting ability would carry over to Division I. What impressed him most was how Hawkins let his leadership take root organically rather than forcing it.
“Ryan took the time to really get to know these guys when they first met in June, even though he’s five or six years older,” McDermott said. “They were like in sixth grade when he was a senior in high school. And because of that, they really respect what he says and they respect his daily actions. And it’s not just talk. He backs it all up with the way he is, with his positive attitude.”
Hawkins is among the few players who have thrived after transferring from a lower division. Duncan Robinson went from Division III Williams College to Michigan and on to the NBA. Max Strus went from Division II Lewis University to DePaul and to the NBA. Matt Mooney went from Division II South Dakota to Texas Tech and now plays overseas.
“There are a lot of guys at the Division II level who can play, and I was fortunate enough to play at probably the highest level of D2 basketball in history,” Hawkins said. “But the speed of the game and athleticism is completely different here. Everything is bigger, faster stronger at this level, and that's been the biggest difference and biggest adjustment for me.”

WWE Hall of Famer Scott Hall is on life support, according to multiple reports.
According to Kevin Nash, who was Hall's longtime partner in the ring, the wrestler will be taken off life support once his family is in place.
"I'm going to lose the one person on this planet I've spent more of my life with than anyone else," Nash said on Instagram.
PWTorch, which covers wrestling, reports that Hall suffered complications after hip replacement surgery last week.
Hall saw success in both the WWE, first as Razor Ramon, and then in the WCW, where he was a founding member of the New World Order (NWO). He would eventually return to the WWE, performing under his real name.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Across the country, multiple programs that provide a basic monthly income to those in need are getting a test run.
“The average American cares that people participate in the economy and does better,” said Mary Bogle, a principal research associate with the Urban Institute.
They recently studied a basic income program in the nation’s capital called THRIVE East of the River, involving nearly 600 low-income families and individuals during the pandemic.
So, what happens when a program like that ends?
“A lot of these folks go back to the regular American safety net, which is frankly not very effective in helping them get to jobs,” Bogle said.
For those who found jobs, the researchers saw that the basic income appeared to provide them with a stepping-stone out of deep poverty.
“You could use a guaranteed income to modernize the safety net,” Bogel said, “And, really, instead of it being sort of a net that people get trapped in, you can turn it into a trampoline.”
To see how that trampoline worked, we met up with one of the basic income recipients: 67-year-old Robert Lassiter.
He works two part-time jobs, as a janitor at a school and a house cleaner. At one point, he lived in an abandoned home.
“When I went and looked at my bank account, these tears that you see here are small,” Lassiter said. “The other ones were bigger because it was joy. It was for me to say, ‘OK, I can take this money and do whatever I want with it.’”
The basic income gave him the financial boost he needed to be able to move into his own apartment.
“And then, I could go to the store and I could buy me a bedroom set? My own bedroom set that I could sleep and buy the sheets to put on that bed that I can sleep in?” he said, as he recalled being in awe. “It's a feeling that’s indescribable.”
Housing costs made up the main use of the basic income for the program’s participants.
“The majority of folks use their cash on housing,” Bogle said.
However, researchers found the money helped in another important way: their mental health.
“It took stress off of me,” Lassiter said. “I’m not stressed out no more – at all.”
The next step, say researchers, will be figuring out the right length of time that a basic income program should last.
“When I look at the data, I would say that if you could sustain guaranteed income for at least three to five years, you'd see very large economic mobility gains,” Bogle said.
In Robert Lassiter’s case, the basic income he got came right on time.
“Somebody believed me and gave me an opportunity to sit here and tell you how independent I am today, and I am very independent today,” he said. “My future is peaceful.” | https://www.wtxl.com/news/national/researchers-look-into-what-happens-after-basic-income-programs-end | 2022-03-14T16:55:01 | en | 0.982225 |
Gonzaga will head into the NCAA Tournament exactly where it ended up in the final AP Top 25: right on top.
In fact, that's where the Bulldogs began the season, too.
It wasn't all smooth sailing for coach Mark Few's team, which dropped as low as fifth after a couple of early losses. But the Bulldogs wound up with 54 of the 61 first-place votes from a national media panel Monday after romping through the West Coast Conference Tournament to land at No. 1 in the final AP Top 25 for the second straight year.
Now, it's a matter of finishing things off. The Bulldogs, who earned the overall No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament for the second consecutive year, lost to Baylor in last year's national championship game.
“It's an amazing accomplishment,” Few said. “It's a reward for being good for four months, 4 1/2 months, and this (NCAA) tournament is a reward for being good for three weeks. So I think it's an amazing accomplishment by this group and last year's group, and these No. 1 seeds we've been able to earn is also simply another amazing accomplishment.”
The Bulldogs begin their quest for that elusive national tile on Thursday against Georgia State in Portland, Oregon, where they should have a hefty fan advantage. They would face Boise State or Memphis in the West Region's second round.
“It's a fool's errand to look down the road. There's so many good teams,” Few said. “We just finished a two-game tournament and that's what this is: a two-game tournament. You don't win the first one, you don't get the second one.”
The top four teams in the final AP Top 25 landed on the top four seed lines of the NCAA Tournament.
Arizona, which got the other seven first-place votes to finish second, will open against the play-in winner between Wright State and Bryant in the South Region. The Wildcats were followed by at No. 3 by Kansas, the top team in the Midwest, and Big 12 rival Baylor, which landed on the top seed line in the East Region.
The Jayhawks play the Texas Southern-Texas A&M Corpus Christi winner while the Bears open against Norfolk State.
The biggest departure between the bracket and the final poll came with SEC Tournament champ Tennessee, which landed at fifth in the AP Top 25. The Vols didn't get the same kind of support from the selection committee, earning the third seed in the South Region and a tough potential road through Arizona and No. 2 seed Villanova to reach the Final Four.
“Wherever they put us, we’ll go. Got to be ready to play, and again,” Volunteers coach Rick Barnes said. “Just I’m happy for our guys, and we’ll see what happens going forward. We have a new season starting again. We have to be ready.”
BEST OF THE REST
Villanova was sixth in the final Top 25, followed by Kentucky, Auburn and Duke — all of them No. 2 seeds in the NCAA tourney — with Purdue rounding out the top 10. The Boilermakers earned the No. 3 seed in the East Region.
UCLA was 11th and Texas Tech was No. 12. They were followed by Providence and Wisconsin, each of which was left off one of the Top 25 ballots, with Houston coming in at No. 15. Big Ten Tournament champion Iowa was 16th with Arkansas, Saint Mary's, Illinois and Murray State rounding out the top 20. UConn, Southern California, Boise State, Colorado State and Texas finished out the final Top 25 of the college basketball season.
POLE-RIZING PREDICTIONS
No team has been No. 1 in the final Top 25 and gone on to win the national championship since Kentucky in 2012, but that doesn't mean it isn't a good barometer for who to watch in the NCAA Tournament. Each of the last six national champions finished among the top six in the final poll, including Baylor, which was third last season.
In fact, the lowest ranked team to win the title in at least 20 years was UConn, which was 18th in the 2014 final poll.
UP AND DOWN, IN AND OUT
Iowa was the biggest mover, climbing eight spots to No. 16, while Auburn slid four spots to No. 8. The only newcomer was Boise State at No. 23 while North Carolina fell out after losing to Virginia Tech in the ACC Tournament semifinals.
CONFERENCE WATCH
The Big 12, Big Ten and Pac-12 tied for the most teams in the final Top 25 with four apiece, while the Pac 12 and Big East each had three. The West Coast and Mountain West conferences each had two teams while the once-mighty ACC had only Duke — the same number of teams as the Ohio Valley (Murray State) and American (Houston) conferences.

JERUSALEM — Israel is grappling with how to deal with dozens of Jewish Russian oligarchs as Western nations step up sanctions on businesspeople with ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
A worried Israeli government has formed a high-level committee to see how the country can maintain its status as a haven for any Jew without running afoul of the biting sanctions targeting Putin's inner circle.
On Monday, Israel's top diplomat promised that his country would try to help enforce sanctions on Russian oligarchs that have been levied by Western powers like the U.S. and the U.K.
"Israel will not be a route to bypass sanctions imposed on Russia by the United States and other Western countries," Israel Foreign Minister Yair Lapid said. "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is coordinating the issue together with partners, including the Bank of Israel, the Finance Ministry, the Economy Ministry, the Airports Authority, the Energy Ministry, and others."
Several dozen Jewish tycoons from Russia are believed to have taken on Israeli citizenship or residency in recent years. Many have good working relations with the Kremlin, and at least four have been sanctioned internationally.
Israel finds itself walking a fine diplomatic line amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine. On one hand, Israel shares democratic values with Ukraine and the West, and its security rests on a strong relationship with the U.S. On the other hand, it cannot afford to alienate Russian President Vladimir Putin due to his country's stronghold position in Syria. That position has allowed the Israeli Air Force to operate against Iranians in the region.
As a result, Israel is playing a delicate balancing act, taking in Jewish Ukrainian refugees and providing humanitarian aid to Ukraine but not sending military assistance. But as the war in Ukraine drags on, the pressure to provide military support could increase.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the world's only Jewish head of state besides Israeli Prime Minister Neftali Bennett, has publicly pressured Israel to offer more support amid the Russian invasion. | https://www.wtxl.com/news/national/russia-ukraine-conflict/israels-top-diplomat-says-country-wont-be-a-route-to-bypass-sanctions-for-russian-oligarchs | 2022-03-14T16:55:07 | en | 0.954284 |

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Anirban Lahiri of India steadied himself early with a par and moved back in front with a 12-foot birdie to complete a 5-under 67 on Monday morning and take a one-shot lead into the final round of The Players Championship.
The tournament that seems like it will never end now has a clear sight to the finish line and the $3.6 million payoff to the winner.
And the road is just as crowded.
Sebastian Munoz of Colombia completed the low round of the long week with bogey-free 65 and was in the group one shot behind along with Doug Ghim (68), Paul Casey (69) and Sam Burns (71).
Fourteen players were separated by three shots, the margin Justin Thomas made up in the final round last year. The final round this year was scheduled for Monday afternoon.
Lahiri would be among the biggest surprise winners in a championship that features the strongest and deepest field in golf. While he has won nine times on tours in Asia and Europe, and played in the Presidents Cup in 2015, he has never won on the PGA Tour.
He is No. 332 in the world and goes after that first PGA Tour title at an event with the largest purse in golf at $20 million, with $3.6 million to the winner.
None of that was enough to cause him a sleepless night going into the final day. He knew he had 25 holes left when he returned in ideal conditions Monday morning.
“That's a lot of golf on a lot of golf course,” Lahiri said. “There’s not much to get too far ahead of yourself. I’m just trying to stay in the moment and just do what I need to do next.”
Lahiri, after a bogey on No. 15 to fall back into a share of the lead, got up-and-down from left of the green on the par-5 16th with a 12-foot birdie putt to move ahead. He was at 9-under 207.
Thomas was trying to stay in the game in his bid to become the first back-to-back winner of The Players since it began in 1974. But he found the water on the par-5 16th for bogey, and his pitch from the trees on the 18th went into the water. He had to make a 12-foot putt for bogey and a 72, leaving him six shots behind.
Tom Hoge, who shared the 18- and 36-hole lead, had a 72 and joined Cameron Smith (69) in the group two behind. Among those three back were former British Open champion Shane Lowry, whose third round was highlighted by a hole-in-one on the island-green 17th; Louis Oosthuizen and Russell Knox, who left Scotland for Jacksonville University and never left.
While it has been hard to keep track of days, the tournament finally took shape Monday morning as the number of players in contention seemed to grow.
The Players is looked upon as the fifth-biggest tournament in the world with its $20 million purse, a five-year exemption on the PGA Tour and three-year exemptions to the Masters, U.S. Open and British Open.
It requires navigating a final round on the Stadium Course at the TPC Sawgrass, famous for its water even in sunshine.
Munoz made the cut with one shot to spare. Because of all the delays, he began the third round on the back nine away from the leaders and wound up among them, making an 18-foot birdie on the par-5 ninth hole to finish his round.
Casey is the most experienced among the top seven on the leaderboard, mainly from his Ryder Cup appearances. He started The Players with a triple bogey and now is one behind.
“What an opportunity,” Casey said. “I know you guys would say it’s not a star-studded leaderboard, it’s not the usual suspects. But every single PGA Tour event, the level of golf is unbelievable.”

DOVER, Del. — The Boy Scouts of America began its trial regarding its proposed reorganization plan Monday at a U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware.
The trial comes more than two years after the organization sought bankruptcy protection amid an onslaught of child sex abuse allegations.
According to the Boy Scouts’ restructuring website, the plan will create a compensation fund worth $2.7 billion for sexual abuse survivors.
The number could increase “as additional settlements are reached.”
The plan also includes “a range of provisions designed to strengthen the organization’s existing youth protection protocols,” including the creation of a Youth Protection Committee and updates to membership policies.
The organization plans to assign two retired federal judges to coordinate independent claim reviews.
The plan calls for the BSA and councils to be released from further liability.
Critics of the plan say it violates the due process rights of abuse claimants and is not authorized under the bankruptcy code.
The trial is expected to stretch over several weeks as attorneys and witnesses battle over a host of complex issues, including insurance rights, liability releases, the value of some 80,000 child sex abuse claims and how such a huge number of claims came to be filed. | https://www.wtxl.com/news/national/trial-over-boy-scouts-reorganization-plan-is-underway | 2022-03-14T16:55:13 | en | 0.950468 |

VENICE, Fla. (AP) — Atlanta Braves outfielder Marcell Ozuna says he has addressed teammates and is sorry to fans for an arrest last year on charges of aggravated assault by strangulation and battery after police officers said they witnessed him attacking his wife.
Ozuna returned to the team this week for the first time since his May 29 arrest. He was placed on administrative leave during Major League Baseball's investigation and missed Atlanta's World Series championship run last fall.
MLB suspended the 31-year-old retroactively for 20 games under its domestic violence policy in November, allowing him to return for the start of the 2022 season.
“Yeah, I talked to my team," Ozuna said Monday, the first day of full-squad spring training workouts. "I spoke to my team and said, ‘I’m sorry, I made a mistake.’”
Ozuna was welcomed by teammates in the clubhouse Monday, and several Latino players gathered around his locker before practice began, just like old times.
“It’s good to have him back,” teammate Ronald Acuña Jr. said via interpreter. “You know, he’s a such a good ballplayer. You know, on and off the field and, you know, the things that happened off the field, those are challenges for everyone. Certain things that happen off the field, they can happen to anyone.”
Police body cam footage obtained by TMZ Sports two days after MLB announced its suspension appeared to show Ozuna grabbing his wife’s neck as officers arrived at their Georiga home. The Sandy Springs Police Department said in a statement in May that it also observed Ozuna throwing her against a wall and striking her with the cast on his injured left hand.
Ozuna said he has completed the requirements of a pretrial diversion program, a condition provided by the Fulton County District Attorney's office in order to have charges dropped. The program included 3-6 months of supervision. Ozuna also was ordered to complete a 24-week family violence intervention program, at least 200 hours of community service and an anger management course.
“I learned everything," he said of counseling. "I learned how you treat a person, how you be a better person, how you be the best daddy, how you be a human being. You learn everything from that.”
Ozuna said he is now “on the same page” with his family. He said he didn't think he had ever spent alone time with his three children prior to last summer and has been taking them to the playground and toy stores.
“I give time to my kids, that’s the most important thing,” he said. "Family first. That’s what I worry about right now, my family and then coming here, working hard, being honest with my teammates. That’s the most important thing.”
Ozuna said he hoped the public could forgive him.
“My fans, I’m going to give you the best and I’m going to be a better person, and I’m sorry," he said.
Ozuna was asked specifically what he would say to fans who are also victims of domestic violence.
“I just tell them, just treat me as the person that I was before,” he said. “Like, I was an amazing person out in the field. So I want to be like that. I’m going to give you my smile. If they think it’s not time to give me like good crowd, it’s OK.”
Ozuna's ban cost him $1.55 million of his $12 million salary last season. He is entering the second year of a $65 million, four-year contract with the Braves.
ACUÑA AT 95%
Star outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. also returned to the club this week after tearing his right ACL in July.
The 2018 NL Rookie of the Year said the rehab process was difficult, doubly so because it sidelined him through a World Series championship run.
Asked where he is with his power and strength, Acuña estimated he's at 95%. He said he's resumed baserunning and defense drills but will wait for the green light from trainers and medical staff before returning to game action.
“If it was up to me, I’d say I’d be ready for opening day," he said via interpreter. “But we all know it’s not my decision. So either way, I’m just going to be ready.”
Atlanta hasn't put a timeline on Acuña's return.

The March Madness bracket is out.
Gonzaga received the top overall seed, with Arizona, Kansas and defending champion Baylor joining the Zags as top seeds.
Early round games in the 68-team tournament start Tuesday.
The nets come down for the final time on April 4 at the Final Four in New Orleans.
This marks the return to the first "normal" tournament since 2019, with teams scattering to eight cities for the first weekend and four more for the Sweet 16.
The tournament was scratched in 2020 due to the then-erupting COVID-19 pandemic.
Last year, all the teams played in and around Indianapolis.
According to FanDuel Sportsbook, the team favored of winning the whole thing is Gonzaga, who are 15-4. Next is Arizona at 6-1, then Kentucky at 15-2 followed by Baylor at 11-1.
According to the Associated Press, players to watch out for are Kentucky’s Oscar Tshiebwe, No. 4 Illinois' Kofi Cockburn and No. 2 Auburn's Jabari Smith. | https://www.wtxl.com/sports/back-to-normal-zags-baylor-join-ku-arizona-as-ncaa-no-1s | 2022-03-14T16:55:19 | en | 0.961137 |
PEORIA, Ariz. (AP) — All-Star shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. of the San Diego Padres likely will need surgery for a broken left wrist and could miss up to three months, general manager A.J. Preller said on Monday.
Tatis suffered the injury in the offseason, Preller said.
The injury is a blow to a team that was looking for a fresh start following a brutal late-season collapse that left them with yet another losing record.
Tatis, 23, had a series of injuries to his left shoulder last year, when he still led the NL with 42 home runs and finished third in balloting for the NL MVP. | https://www.expressnews.com/sports/article/Padres-star-Tatis-has-broken-wrist-could-be-out-17000952.php | 2022-03-14T16:55:20 | en | 0.970978 |
‘The Kashmir Files’, directed by Vivek Agnihotri, has been receiving appreciation from the audience. The film has managed to surprise everyone by emerging as a sleeper hit earning Rs 27.15 crore in its first weekend despite competition from Prabhas starrer 'Radhe Shyam' and the continued success of Alia Bhatt starrer 'Gangubai Kathiawadi'.
Fans and celebrities including Akshay Kumar and Kangana Ranaut, the film has grabbed everyone’s attention. However, the IMDb rating has been dropped and the site has detected ‘unusual voting activity.’
On Monday, a social media user tweeted, “The IMDb page of #TheKashmirFiles says: ‘Our rating mechanism has detected unusual voting activity on this title. To preserve the reliability of our rating system, an alternate weighting calculation has been applied’. They have themselves dipped the ratings.” He also tagged director Vivek Agnihotri in his tweet.

In no time, Vivek also reacted to his tweet and wrote, “IS UNUSUAL AND UNETHICAL.”

For the unversed, based on the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits in 1990, 'The Kashmir Files' attempts to show the true picture behind the mass genocide that took place in the Kashmir valley. It has touched the hearts of families who had to flee their homes after the tragic chapter in Indian history, which has never been shown to the public before.
Anupam Kher's emotional and heartbreaking performance has been regarded as the soul of the film. Kher, who himself was born in the Kashmiri Pandit family, portrays Pushkar Nath Pandit, one of the victims of the 1990 tragedy. Coincidentally, Kher's character shares the same name as his father, Pushkar Nath Kher.
The major factor behind the success of 'The Kashmir Files' is said to be word-of-mouth publicity as people have been continuously applauding the film on social media. Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri has shared multiple videos of audience reactions on his Twitter account, in which viewers are seen breaking into tears after coming out of the theatres. | https://www.dnaindia.com/bollywood/report-the-kashmir-files-imdb-detects-unusual-voting-activity-director-vivek-agnihotri-reacts-2939894 | 2022-03-14T16:55:21 | en | 0.968607 |
LONDON (AP) — Qatar's investment in sports has extended to the ownership of Paris Saint-Germain launching a new global tour for the squash-tennis racket game of padel.
The Qatar Sports Investments-backed Premier Padel tour has scheduled at least 10 tournaments each year — starting in Doha later this month.
The event will coincide with world football officials and coaches being in the Qatari capital for the draw for the finals of the World Cup — the most significant sporting investment by the energy-rich Gulf nation.
Qatar's involvement in padel is an attempt to gain more control of the sport from the existing World Padel Tour backed by the Estrella Damm beer company.
The Premier Padel series is being governed by the International Padel Federation that has existed as a governing body for 31 years.
QSI is headed by Nasser Al-Khelaifi, a former tennis professional who has emerged as one of the key figures in world football. He is president of PSG, chairman of the European Club Association, a member of the UEFA executive committee and head of major sports rights holder beIN.

LONDON (AP) — Sports federations have set precedents by banning Russian and Belarusian athletes from competition following the invasion of Ukraine and they must remain firm to keep them in place, Olympic great Sebastian Coe said Monday.
Coe is a two-time Olympic champion runner from Britain who is now the president of World Athletics, the governing body of track and field. He spoke four days before the start of the world indoor championships. Both Russians and Belarusians have been excluded from that event, which will be held in Serbia.
“There’s not a single sports federation out there that naturally wants to exclude teams or individuals. That’s not something that we came into the sport for,” Coe said during a video conference call. “But I think we have to recognize that this is such a game changer. And, yes, it will set precedents.”
Athletes and teams from Russia and Belarus have been kicked out of dozens of sports since Russian forces invaded Ukraine last month, with some soldiers entering via Belarus. The biggest events to be immediately impacted by the decision to ban Russians and Belarusians include the upcoming track championships, the figure skating world championships and soccer.
The bans from soccer, which include the Russian national team from World Cup qualifying and Russian club Spartak Moscow from the Europa League competition, have been challenged by the Football Union of Russia. The first appeal rulings are expected this week from the Court of Arbitration for Sport — the highest sports court in the world.
“We absolutely accept that this will set precedents and those precedents will have to be faced individually and sequentially and they will be with us for years," Coe said. "We haven’t made this easy on ourselves but it is still the right decision.
“You cannot have aggressor nations, where you have so altered the landscape for the integrity of competition being untouched, while the actions of their governments have so influenced the integrity of sport elsewhere.”
Russia’s opponent in the World Cup qualifying playoffs, Poland, has said it won’t play against the country on March 24. The two next possible opponents, the Czech Republic and Sweden, have said the same.
Track and field had previously been the hardest on Russians following the country's state-sponsored doping scandal dating back to the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. Russians now have to be individually vetted in order to compete in international track events. The Russian track federation has been banned since 2015.
“I don’t have a problem with (banning Russians) because that’s what we’ve done in our sport. I don’t see why that should be different in any other sport if you’re making that judgement on the integrity of the sport,” Coe said. “Goodness me, in football, you’ve already seen teams that decided they’re not going to play in playoff rounds.
“The impact is across the board. So they are going to need to remain really firm on this and do exactly what we’ve done.”

Disappointing to see kind of sycophancy played out in CWC meeting: Sunil Jakhar
Congress leader Sunil Jakhar on March 14, took a dig at Congress leader Charanjit Singh Channi and said that it was disappointing to see the kind of sycophancy played out in Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting. The CWC meeting was chaired to discuss the poll debacle in the five states.“Idea of my tweet was not to accuse anyone of anything. Disappointing to see the kind of sycophancy played out in CWC yesterday. Report suggests certain leaders who have been Rajya Sabha MPs for 30 years, claim to be Punjab's voice in CWC are hoodwinking party high command,” said Sunil Jakhar. “This recommendation for CM's post was done by these very people. Instead of acknowledging it, they are trying to put it on Rahul Gandhi. People of Punjab wanted change, but the person who was projected was caught with his hand in the till. Remedy was worse than disease,” added Sunil Jakhar. | https://www.dnaindia.com/india/video-disappointing-to-see-kind-of-sycophancy-played-out-in-cwc-meeting-sunil-jakhar-2939872 | 2022-03-14T16:55:52 | en | 0.988172 |

The ground testing of the newly developed solid booster stage (SS1) for the new launch vehicle of ISRO -- Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) -- was carried out on Monday at Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Andhra Pradesh's Sriharikota.
All the propulsion parameters during the test are found satisfactory and closely matching with the predictions, the Bengaluru-headquartered ISRO said in a statement.
SS1 motor is a three-segmented solid propulsion stage incorporating many new technologies and innovative processes that includes bond-free joint between the segments, high-power electro mechanical actuator with digital control electronics, optimised ignitor and simultaneous propellant casting of all segments, which have been successfully validated in the ground test, according to ISRO.
"The successful test of solid booster stage has given sufficient confidence to proceed with the first developmental flight of SSLV (SSLV-D1) which is scheduled in May 2022. The remaining stages of SSLV -- SS2 & SS3 stages -- have successfully undergone necessary ground tests and are ready for integration," the statement said. | https://www.dnaindia.com/science/report-isro-conducts-ground-testing-of-newly-developed-solid-booster-stage-for-launch-of-new-sslv-2939892 | 2022-03-14T16:56:10 | en | 0.94087 |

He had ruled the Kabaddi world for more than a decade and played in Canada, the USA, UK, other than Punjab. | https://www.dnaindia.com/sports/report-kabaddi-player-sandeep-nangal-ambian-shot-dead-in-jalandhar-around-20-rounds-fired-2939893 | 2022-03-14T16:56:17 | en | 0.988568 |

Economists at Nomura identify three risk exposures pushing EUR/USD lower into Q2 2022. However, the pair is likely to recover towards 1.14 by the end of 2022.
EUR/USD to inch closer towards parity if fresh extremes in energy prices lead to factory closures
“There are three types of exposure that risk pushing EUR lower: 1) higher energy prices in a very Russian gas & oil dependent Europe; 2) higher food prices and; 3) the cost of sanctions for European banks. Given these risks, we revise down the profile of our EUR/USD forecast to 1.08 in Q2, but with a stronger recovery likely from Q3 to 1.10, 1.14 by year-end 2022 and 1.20 by end-2023.”
“EUR support ahead would likely emerge from an easing of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, a possible Iran nuclear deal or OPEC output surprise that helps to stabilise energy prices, a shift towards more positivity on the euro area growth outlook and increased expectations of ECB monetary policy normalization (a hike in December goes ahead).”
“The negative risks for EUR include an extended geopolitical crisis that intensifies further into Q3, which could lead EUR/USD even closer towards parity of around 1.02-1.03 if we see fresh extremes in energy prices lead to factory closures.”

- US dollar and US stocks indices mixed on Monday.
- Euro up versus dollar, British pound and Swiss franc.
- Investors are looking at Ukraine/Russia talks, before the FOMC meeting.
The EUR/USD found support above 1.0930 and climbed back toward the daily high it hit on European hours at 1.0989, boosted by a stronger euro and a mixed US dollar.
Conversations and the Fed
The key driver of price action continues to be the war in Ukraine. Volatility remains elevated, even among currencies. The economic calendar shows the US Producer Price Index due on Tuesday and on Wednesday, the critical event of the week: the Fed’s decision.
The FOMC is expected to hike the fed funds rate by 25 bps on Wednesday. If the Fed delivers as expected, it will be the first time since 2018, and attention would turn to signs about the future path of monetary policy. Analysts at Rabobank, see four consecutive rate hikes of 25 bps each in March, May, June and July. “We also expect that the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and subsequent sanctions on global economic activity will be felt in the US more broadly in the second half of the year, inducing the FOMC to take a pause for the remainder of the year to make sure that a recession is avoided, before resuming the hiking cycle”.
Ahead of the FOMC meeting and also boosted by risk aversion, US yields are trading at monthly/yearly highs, supporting the greenback. In Europe, yields are also higher, keeping the EUR/USD far from the recent bottom.
Looking at 1.1000
The EUR/USD is holding onto daily gains, facing resistance at 1.1000, not only a round number, but also where the 20-Simple Moving Average stands in four-hour charts. A recovery above should add support to the euro, exposing the next resistance at 1.1035. Above the following resistance levels might be seen at 1.1070 and 1.1095.
If the pair fails to recover 1.1000 over the next hours, a potential decline back to 1.0935 should be considered. The area also contains the 20-hour SMA. Below attention would turn to 1.0895/1.0900, below the bearish pressure should intensify.

Considering what the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England might do over the next months, analysts at Rabobank, see the GBP/USD pair likely to move sideways in a range above 1.30. Both central banks will have their policy meetings this week.
Key Quotes:
“Central bank meetings will be vying for some attention this week amid the headlines related to the war in Ukraine. These two topics can be broken down further. From Ukraine there have been both positive and negative headlines over the weekend which provide contrasting implications for the safe haven USD. On top of that, while the central bank meetings in the US and the UK are both expected to bring rate hikes, the tone from the respective policy makers is expected to differ considerably. Cable has declined sharply since the start of the conflict in Ukraine and we expect the pound to remain on the back foot going forward.”
“Both the Fed and the BoE are expected to raise rates by 25 bps this week. However, the MPC is likely to do so with far less enthusiasm. A hike this week for the BoE would mark the third consecutive move and the voting pattern of MPC members is likely to illustrate far less conviction than in the February and December policy meetings.”
“The indication of various central banks in the past couple of weeks is that pre-invasion plans for policy tightening remain mostly intact. Despite the inevitable impact on growth, central bankers are fearing that inflation expectations will become entrenched and that this could feed through into a stubborn wage/price spiral. The fact that the BoE was one of the first G10 central banks to tighten this cycle is suggestive of its commitment to avoid second order price pressures to gain too strong a foothold. That said, significant head-winds are facing the UK economy in the form of higher energy and tax bills and the Bank may already be running out of room to hike rates. Consequently it is likely that relative to the Fed, the BoE will sound a more cautious note at this week’s policy meeting and this could weigh on cable.”
“In our view cable could remains mostly within a GBP/USD 1.30 to 1.33 range in the coming months.”

- The sterling fails to regain 1.3100, remains near mid-term lows.
- Pound recovery falters despite BoE rate hike expectations.
- GBP/USD decline could extend to 1.2500 – ScotiaBank.
The pound sterling remains slightly positive on Monday, buoyed by a moderate risk appetite although its rebound from lows near 1.3000 has been capped below 1.3075.
Cable remains bearish at 16-month lows
The GBP/USD is trapped within a wider bearish trend following a three-week sell-off. The pair has depreciated nearly 5% from late February highs at 1.3640, to hit levels right above the 1.3000 psychological level for the first time since November 2020.
The sterling has seen a moderate increase on demand on Monday, favoured by a somewhat weaker dollar amid a mild sentiment improvement on the back of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine. Beyond that, investors’ expectations that the Bank of England’s will hike interest rates at next Thursday’s meeting has been supportive for the GBP.
GBP/USD might extend its decline towards 1.2500 – Scotiabank
Regarding the near-term expectations, the FX Analysis Team at Scotiabank sees the pound extending its downtrend: “Cable aims for a break under 1.30. Sterling faces no clear support until the mid-1.28s that marked the lows of Oct/Nov of 2020, with losses possibly mounting quickly toward 1.25.”

- Wall Street advances on Monday amid an improved market sentiment.
- Hopes of progress in the Ukraine-Russia talks have lifted appetite for risk.
- Banks are leading gains as major central banks hint to higher rates.
US markets have opened the week on a moderately positive tone, following the trend observed in Europe. Investors’ hopes about some progress in the peace talks between Russia and Ukraine seem to have boosted expectations of a cease fire, triggering a certain risk-appetite revival.
The S&P 500 is trading 0.90% up one hour after the opening bell. Stock markets are welcoming the efforts to stop the Eastern European conflict after high representatives from both parties expressed their confidence on achieving some results over the coming days.
Market sentiment, however, remains fragile as Russia keeps bombing Ukrainian cities, with the world holding its breath after a Russian missile attack hit a military compund only 25 Kms. away from the NATO border.
Furthermore, the Dow Jones Index appreciates 1.25% at the moment of writing, while the Nasdaq Technical Index edges o.33% up after a hesitant opening.
Regarding sectors, financials are leading gains on Monday, advancing 2,71% buoyed by rate hike hopes in most of then major certral banks. On the negative side, the energy sector drops 2,5% with oil prices dropping sharlply on the back of the Ukraine – Russia peace talks and the increase of COVID-19 cases in China.

This is a question on everybody's minds, with no clear answer – it is hard to know what is going in the head of Vladimir Putin, Russia's President. | https://www.fxstreet.com/news/sp-500-advances-09-on-early-trading-on-a-milder-risk-on-market-202203141540 | 2022-03-14T16:56:43 | en | 0.941445 |

- The USD/CHF begins the week on the right foot up 0.12%.
- The Swiss franc was unable to capitalize on soft US dollar demand.
- USD/CHF Price Forecast: Neutral, but a daily close above 0.9373, would expose 0.9400 and 2021 yearly high around 0.9472.
The USD/CHF rallies and threatens November 24, 2021, daily high at 0.9373, amid a risk-off market mood. Broad safe-haven keeps the greenback buoyant, despite the fall of the US Dollar index, which is down 0.34%. At the time of writing, the USD/CHF is trading at 0.9358.
Overnight, the USD/CHF began around the day’s lows, near 0.9330s, though weak demand for the US dollar pushed the pair near the 0.9360 area, where it currently stands. Worth noting that the 50-simple moving average (SMA) in the 1-hour chart, around 0.9320, acted as solid support, so in the case of aiming down, that would be a crucial demand level to overcome.
USD/CHF Price Forecast: Technical outlook
The USD/CHF bias is still neutral, slightly tilted upwards. To further cement the “neutral-upwards,” the pair need a daily close above 0.9373. IF that scenario plays out, the USD/CHF first resistance would be 0.9400. Once breached, the next resistance would be April 2021 swing high at 0.9472, followed by the 0.9500 mark, and June 30 cycle high at 0.9533.

The high school sweethearts said 'I do' in Hawaii on Saturday
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Matthews made it official this weekend, saying 'I do' at a destination wedding in Hawaii.
Mahomes and Matthews have been dating since their high school days in Whitehouse, Texas. Matthews is also a founder and owner of the KC Current, Kansas City's professional women's soccer team. The two were first engaged back in September of 2020.
Both the Chiefs QB and his new bride took to Instagram on Saturday to post their first pictures of the wedding.
"Mr. and Mrs. Mahomes," The album of pictures is captioned.
Since becoming engaged, the couple welcomed their first daughter, Sterling Skye Mahomes. She recently turned one.
Last month, Mahomes celebrated his bachelor party in Las Vegas.
Jackson Mahomes, the QB's brother, was chosen to be the best man for the big day.
Congrats to the happy couple! | https://www.wxii12.com/article/chiefs-patrick-mahomes-marries-brittany-matthews/39429601 | 2022-03-14T16:56:55 | en | 0.972551 |
- The Mexican peso holds onto recent gains versus the US dollar.
- Decline capped by the 20.85 support area.
- Emerging market currencies remains resilient despite market sentiment.
The USD/MXN dropped on Monday to 20.82, reaching the lowest level in ten days and extended the correction from the 21.50 area. The pair is hovering around the critical support area of 20.85.
On Monday, equity markets are posting gains supporting the demand for emerging market currencies. The strength is being offset by the correction in commodity prices. Crude oil falls more than 8%.
The war in Ukraine remains the key event. Market participants await the new conversations. Also relevant is the FOMC meeting. The Federal Reserve is expected to announce a rate hike on Wednesday. Banxico will likely do the same next week. US yields are rising significantly, with the 10-year yield at 2.09%, and the 30-year at 2.45%, both at levels not seen in months.
Among EM currencies, the Russian ruble is the best performer on Monday, followed by the Polish zloty. Latin American currencies are modestly higher.
USD/MXN testing support
The USD/MXN is trading around 20.85, a relevant support that, if broken should clear the way to an extension toward 20.70. Below, the next strong barrier is seen at 20.50. On the upside, a recovery back above 21.00/05 would give momentum to the US dollar. The next resistance at 21.30 seems far for the moment and it should hold initially if tested over the next session.

Ford says it will have three new electric passenger vehicles and four new electric commercial vehicles in Europe by 2024, part of the automaker's continued push to grow its presence in the EV market.
Ford Motor Co. said Monday that it plans to sell more than 600,000 electric vehicles in the Europe by 2026. It anticipates producing 1.2 million electric vehicles in Cologne, Germany over six years.
Ford will start production of an all-new electric passenger vehicle, a medium-sized crossover, in Cologne next year. A second electric vehicle will be added to the Cologne production line-up in 2024. An electric version of the Ford Puma will be made in Craiova, Romania beginning in 2024.
For commercial vehicles, the Transit will include four new electric models – the Transit Custom one-tonne van and Tourneo Custom multi-purpose vehicle in 2023, and the smaller, next generation Transit Courier van and Tourneo Courier multi-purpose vehicle in 2024.
“I am delighted to see the pace of change in Europe – challenging our entire industry to build better, cleaner and more digital vehicles," Ford President and CEO Jim Farley said in a statement. "Ford is all-in and moving fast to meet the demand in Europe and around the globe.”
Earlier this month Ford announced that it was splitting its electric vehicle and internal combustion operations into two individual businesses. Ford Blue will focus on traditional combustion engines and Ford Model e will develop electric vehicles. The Detroit company now expects that half of its vehicles will be electric by 2030.
Ford is looking to sell more than 2 million electric vehicles worldwide by 2026. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/business/article/Ford-ramping-up-electric-vehicles-in-Europe-17000741.php | 2022-03-14T16:57:00 | en | 0.94822 |
- SEC announced the non-compliance and possible delisting of five Chinese stocks last week.
- China has shut down Shanghai and Shenzen over covid infections.
- Xpeng has joined three European auto organizations.
Xpeng stock (XPEV) has started the week by trading all the way back under its US IPO price back in August 2020. Midday on Monday shares are down more than 11% to $20.30. Nearly all Chinese equities are trading lower after Covid-19 shutdowns were announced on Sunday in Shenzen and Shanghai as well. These shutdowns are serious enough to cause production stoppages at Foxconn.
Additionally, it was reported over the weekend that Russia had asked China to aid its war against Ukraine, an action that some observers say could put Chinese firms on Western sanctions lists. Russia, however, has denied this.
Shares are also feeling the burn from the US Securities & Exchange Commission's (SEC) actions last week. The SEC announced the possible delisting of five Chinese companies that trade on US exchanges.
Xpeng has joined three Europeans automobile associations in a sign of its intent on entering the EU market on a greater scale. The European Association for Electromobility (AVERE), Royal RAI Vereniging / RAI Association (RAI) and BIL Sweden have all given Xpeng membership.
Fallout from DiDi Global (DIDI) being denied a listing in Hong Kong has also carried into Monday. DiDi's US shares dropped about 44% on Friday after the news broke.
Xpeng Stock Forecast: Finding support below IPO price
Xpeng stock is now trading below its $21.10 low on it first day of trading in the US back on August 27, 2020. From here, investors better hope that XPEV share remain above $17.12. This is the only support structure left at this point and stem from September of 2020. If it does break $17.12, then XPEV shares are in no-man's land and will need to rediscover a new support level. Xpeng stock will not return to neutral until shares regain $23, a price that has served both as support and resistance over the past 18 months.

NEW YORK (AP) — Pete Davidson is heading to space.
The “Saturday Night Live” star is among the six passengers on the next launch of Jeff Bezo's space travel venture Blue Origin, the company announced Monday.
The launch is scheduled for March 23 and Davidson will be the third celebrity on a Blue Origin flight. William Shatner was on a flight in October, blasting off from West Texas and reaching a height of roughly 66 miles above Earth on the 10-minute jaunt.
Former NFL great and “Good Morning America” co-host Michael Strahan flew on Blue Origin's second passenger flight in December, joining astronaut Alan Shepard's daughter on the journey. Bezos, the founder of Amazon, flew on the company's first passenger flight last July.
The other passengers on next week's flight are CEO and investor Marty Allen; Sharon and Marc Hagle; teacher and entrepreneur Jim Kitchen and George Nield, a former NASA manager who has worked to promote commercial spaceflight.
Marc Hagle is CEO of the commercial and residential property company Tricor International. His wife, Sharon Hagle, founded SpaceKids Global, a nonprofit aimed at inspiring children about spaceflight.
Blue Origin flights give passengers a few minutes of weightlessness above the Earth's surface before the capsule parachutes and lands in the West Texas desert. The company has not disclosed the ticket price for paying customers.
Davidson, who is currently dating reality star Kim Kardashian, wrote and starred in the semi-autobiographical film “The King of Staten Island,” which was released in 2020. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/entertainment/article/Pete-Davidson-headed-to-space-on-Blue-Origin-craft-17000777.php | 2022-03-14T16:57:06 | en | 0.950942 |

“Destruction of the Steamboat Sultana” by Gene Eric Salecker (Naval Institute Press)
Nearly 1,200 people perished when the steamship Sultana exploded and burned in the early morning hours of April 27, 1865, in the Mississippi River. It's the worst maritime disaster in United States history, yet it's not as well known as other doomed ships such as the Titanic or the Lusitania.
In “Destruction of the Steamboat Sultana," Gene Eric Salecker offers a comprehensive and at times compelling account of the disaster. The book is the second written on the Sultana by Salecker, a retired police officer and teacher who is a consultant for the Sultana Disaster Museum in Marion, Arkansas.
The Sultana's sinking occurred in one of the most momentous months in the nation's history, just days after President Abraham Lincoln's assassination and the end of the Civil War.
Most of the passengers on the overcrowded ship were Union soldiers who had been held as prisoners of war, finally on their way home after being in captivity.
Not surprisingly, the most gripping sections of Salecker's book are descriptions of the ship's destruction and its aftermath. Salecker deftly lets the accounts of the survivors, rescuers and witnesses speak for themselves. These accounts leave readers with haunting images that will stay with them.
Though not as dramatic as the descriptions of the disaster itself, Salecker's book also takes a detailed look at the mechanical causes as well as the human factors that contributed to so many perishing. He further debunks already disproven yet persistent conspiracy theories that the explosion was caused by Confederate saboteurs.
The book is a must-read for Civil War buffs and those wanting to learn new details about the Sultana. Though it's a challenging read at times for those not familiar with the event, Salecker's account is a solid introduction to an oft-overlooked piece of history. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/entertainment/article/Review-Sultana-revisits-a-little-known-17000829.php | 2022-03-14T16:57:12 | en | 0.966107 |
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.wxii12.com/article/pies-around-the-world-sweet-and-savory-pastries-to-celebrate-pi-day/39427842 | 2022-03-14T16:57:16 | en | 0.946979 |

TOWN OF DECATUR, Wis. (AP) — One person was injured when a small plane crashed at Brodhead Airport in Green County, sheriff's officials said.
According to authorities, the crash happened Sunday afternoon in the town of Decatur as the pilot was practicing landing techniques. Sgt. Zack Degner said the 1975 Cessna began having some mechanical troubles.
The pilot, Delbert Devries, that as he was attempting to land the plane, speed and weather condition cause it to go beyond the landing strip and overturn. Devries was not seriously injured, but a passenger, John Musser, was taken to a hospital for treatment of his injuries.
The Federal Aviation Administration was notified. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/1-person-injured-in-crash-of-small-plane-in-Green-17000839.php | 2022-03-14T16:57:25 | en | 0.9783 |

RICHLAND, Wash. (AP) — The budget for the Hanford nuclear reservation for the current fiscal year will be nearly $128 million more than proposed by the Biden administration and about $25 million above the fiscal 2021 budget.
The U.S. Senate approved the budget last week as part of a massive spending bill for the fiscal year that began in October. The Tri-City Herald reports the spending package includes a record high amount of nearly $2.6 billion for maintenance and environmental cleanup of the site in Eastern Washington.
But even that amount falls shy of cleanup costs, Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., pointed out in budget hearings. Congress would need to budget for than $11 billion a year for the next 57 years to complete Hanford cleanup, she said.
The 580-square-mile (1,502-square-kilometer) Hanford site, located along the Columbia River, produced almost two-thirds of the plutonium for the nation’s nuclear weapons program from World War II through the Cold War.
Hanford contains approximately 56 million gallons of radioactive waste stored in 177 underground tanks, representing one of DOE’s largest environmental risks and most complex challenges. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Congress-approves-money-for-Hanford-nuclear-17000933.php | 2022-03-14T16:57:31 | en | 0.928099 |

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Lawmakers on a House panel on Monday approved legislation to boost reading skills among young students with optional full-day kindergarten.
The House Education Committee voted to send to the full House the bill giving school districts the option of full-day kindergarten by using $73 million in literacy intervention money.
Republican Gov. Brad Little has made boosting reading scores among young students a priority, saying good reading skills make for life-long learners and gives students the best chance for a successful academic career and life.
Backers of the bill say about 25% of third-graders aren't reading at grade level, and full-day kindergarten will help.
“We're going to change the trajectory of their lives,” said Republican Rep. Ryan Kerby.
Opponents said the Idaho Constitution only requires spending taxpayer money on education starting in first grade. They also cited high gas prices faced by taxpayers and lack of confidence in results of kindergarten.
The legislation removes any ambiguity that the money can be used for all-day kindergarten. Half of the money will be based on enrollment of students in kindergarten to third grade. The other half will be based on students improving their reading skills, with districts with higher-improving students getting more.
The bill passed the Senate 31-2 last week. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/House-panel-approves-full-day-kindergarten-17000855.php | 2022-03-14T16:57:37 | en | 0.954846 |
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Clarissa Ward interrupted her live TV report on Ukrainian refugees to help a distraught older man, then a woman, down a steep and explosion-mangled path, gently urging them on in their language.
A day later, Lynsey Addario, a photographer for The New York Times, captured a grim image of a Russian mortar attack’s immediate outcome: the bodies of a mother and her two children crumpled on a road, amid their suitcase, backpacks and a pet carrier.
The memorable reports illustrate both the skill and gutsiness of female journalists serving as eyewitnesses to Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine and the way their presence has changed the nature of war reporting.
They cover the tactics of war, but give equal measure to its toll.
“People are so exhausted, they can barely walk,” Ward told viewers in her report. “It’s just an awful, awful scene. And they’re the lucky ones.”
The author of “You Don't Belong Here,” a 2021 book that profiles three pioneering women who covered the Vietnam War, said there's "absolutely no doubt that the reporting is what I would call more humane, looking at the human side of war.”
Elizabeth Becker argues that Frances FitzGerald of the U.S., Kate Webb of Australia and Catherine Leroy of France were foundational to modern war reporting. Arriving in Southeast Asia on their own dime, without a staff job and little or no journalism experience, they broke the male grip on war reporting with daring and innovation.
Traditionally, “the coverage was the battlefield, which is important,” said award-winning journalist Becker, a 1970s Cambodian war correspondent. She said it took newcomer FitzGerald to ask, “’OK, what does this mean in terms of the Vietnamese and the villages?’”
FitzGerald earned a 1973 Pulitzer and other honors for “Fire in the Lake: The Vietnamese and the Americans in Vietnam,” and her 2017 work, “The Evangelicals: The Struggle to Shape America,” was short-listed for the National Book Award.
War reporting is “a sense of mission, it’s a sense of purpose, it’s a sense of being able to tell a story,” said Christiane Amanpour, the London-born chief international anchor for CNN. “And women are really very good at it, it seems.”
It’s also a matter of logic, said Holly Williams, the Istanbul-based correspondent for CBS News on assignment in Ukraine.
“I’m acutely aware of the fact that if you don’t tell women’s stories, you’re missing at least half of the picture,” said the Australian-born Williams, who has reported on conflicts in Asia, Europe and the Middle East and worked for BBC News.
Ward, who also has hopscotched across those regions, worked for CBS News prior to joining CNN and, before that, was based in Moscow and Beijing for ABC News.
“Often women do have a different perspective on war, and for a long time that was not really at the forefront of a lot of coverage,” Ward said. She strives to include “the humanity behind the story, the experience of ordinary people who are living in war zones. To me, that is equally as important as the military component.”
The prominence of TV correspondents and the reach of their outlets adds to their impact. Oprah Winfrey offered online praise of network reporters “risking their lives to show the world the truth,” singling out Ward as a “fierce, unshakable and outstanding journalist.”
Many of their male colleagues also contribute nuanced reporting, as ABC News veteran Martha Raddatz and others noted. But Raddatz recalls a not-so-distant time when men tended to “love the equipment, love the airplanes.”
Ward and and other female journalists tip their cap to their predecessors, including FitzGerald and the late Martha Gellhorn, whose reporting stretched from WWII to the U.S. invasion of Panama in 1989-90. They also praise recent trailblazers, including Amanpour.
Her decades of conflict reporting include the 1991 Gulf War, subsequent clashes in the Middle East region and, in southeastern Europe, the deadly 1992-96 siege of Sarajevo during the war between Bosnia and Herzegovina.
“I think my generation and myself, we were perhaps the last line of the rare woman foreign correspondent,” Amanpour said. In every form of media it’s “exploded into a very female friendly profession.”
But parity has yet to be achieved in pay, Amanpour said. Or in all journalism jobs, according to Ward.
The growing number of female TV correspondents belies “a fairly male-dominated profession in general,” Ward said. “Don’t forget, the person in front of the camera is one person. Then you have, for TV, four people holding the camera, behind the camera, and most of them are still men.”
In U.S. journalism overall, men retain a numerical advantage over women even in a changing media industry, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of census data. While the number of people working in any facet of print, online or video journalism fell by nearly 17% between 2008 and 2018, men remained a majority at the end of the decade at 64%, “on par with their share in 2008” of 60%, Pew found.
That's widely reflected, according to “The Missing Perspectives of Women in News,” a 2020 report from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Despite progress, “the majority of journalists in newsrooms globally are men,” the report said, citing several multi-country studies.
Female reporters face additional challenges in non-democratic countries and some regions, Amanpour said.
“They come under a huge amount of societal pressure in many parts of the developing world, and certainly in the Islamic world and other areas of what I call the patriarchy,” she said. “It’s very difficult, but they’re doing it and coming out into this profession more and more, and I really applaud them.”
The presence of women reporting in Ukraine is set against a backdrop of traditional roles and expectations, with women and children allowed to flee war’s violence while men are required to stay behind and defend their country.
Yonat Friling, a Jerusalem-based senior producer for Fox News Channel who worked in Ukraine with correspondent Trey Yingst, is aware of how attitudes can vary. In 2004, she was on the international desk for an Israeli TV channel when she asked her boss to switch her to field producer.
“He told me, ‘This is a job for men. Only men can do that,’” recalled the Israeli native. “Then I left, I joined Fox (in 2005). And on several occasions, including this time, I keep texting him, ‘A job for men? Yeah, right.’”
The Ukraine assignment proved deeply emotional for Friling. When she recently joined the stream of refugees leaving Kiev, it was a reminder of grandparents who fled Nazism and Soviet occupiers in Europe in the 1940s.
“I saw children and women, and I (saw) my grandparents in their faces. ... I know how much this is going to influence their whole life and the next generations,” she said.
Raddatz, who covered early refugee evacuations and returned to Ukraine on Friday, realizes how much has changed for her and her female colleagues over the years. The chief global affairs correspondent for ABC News covered the Bosnian crisis in the late 1990s and has focused on Iraq and Afghanistan.
“I remember in Iraq, I always thought that if something happened to me, it (the reaction) would be, ‘How could she do that, go over there when she has two children?’ whereas they would never say that with a guy,” she said. “Now, I don’t think they would do that.”
Family needs and concerns add to the burden of war reporting.
NBC News correspondent Erin McLaughlin said that before Russia struck at Ukraine, the threat of what might happen made her parents worry more than they had over her previous assignments, including in Iraq.
“My brother went to stay with them for the weekend because they were so nervous,” McLaughlin said. “It was really tough, but at the same time they understand that this is my calling. It’s an important job, and someone needs to do it.”
Ward, married and with two children, said her work takes an inevitable toll.
“It’s my son’s 4th birthday today, which has been really hard to miss,” Ward said at the end of another draining day in Ukraine, her voice emotional. “There’s the entire juggling act — you’re FaceTiming with your kids and there’s air raid sirens and bombs going off in the distance.”
“I’m not going to pretend this isn’t hard. But I also wouldn’t be anywhere else right now,” she said.

NEW YORK (AP) — A search was underway Monday for a gunman who has been stalking homeless men sleeping on the streets of Washington, D.C., and New York City, fatally shooting two people and wounding three more in less than two weeks.
Police released surveillance photographs of the suspected gunman late Sunday, including one in which the hooded man can be seen holding a pistol in a blue glove.
The killer's motive — if any — was unknown and authorities turned their attention Monday to trying to offer what protections they could to homeless people who might become targets.
New York Mayor Eric Adams said police officers and homeless outreach teams would focus on finding unhoused people in the subways and other locations and would urge them to seek refuge at city-owned shelters.
“The case is a clear and horrific intentional act of taking the life of someone, it appears, because he was homeless,” Adams said at a news conference late Sunday. “Two individuals were shot while sleeping on the streets, not committing a crime but sleeping on the streets.”
The earliest known shooting happened at around 4 a.m. on March 3 in Washington D.C., police said, when a man was shot and wounded in the city's Northeast section. A second man was wounded on March 8, just before 1:30 a.m.
At 3 a.m. the next day, March 9, police and firefighters found a dead man inside a burning tent. A subsequent autopsy revealed that the man had died of multiple stab and gunshot wounds.
The killer then apparently traveled north to New York City, police said.
At 4:30 a.m. Saturday, a 38-year-old man sleeping on the street in Manhattan not far from the entrance to the Holland Tunnel was shot in his right arm as he slept.
The victim screamed and the gunman fled, police said.
About 90 minutes later, the gunman fatally shot another man on Lafayette Street in SoHo, police said. The man's body was found in his sleeping bag just before 5 p.m. Saturday.
Police determined the same person committed the attacks based on the similarities of each shooting and evidence recovered from the scenes. The victims were attacked without provocation, police said.
“We are committed to sharing every investigative path, clue and piece of evidence with our law enforcement partners to bring this investigation to a swift conclusion and the individual behind these vicious crimes to justice," Metropolitan Police Chief Robert Contee said in a news release.
The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is assisting in the investigation.
The attacks were reminiscent of the beating deaths of four homeless men as they slept on the streets in New York's Chinatown in the fall of 2019. Another homeless man, Randy Santos, has pleaded not guilty to murder charges in those attacks.
A year ago, four people were stabbed in New York City, two fatally, by a man who randomly attacked homeless people in the subway system. That assailant, who was also homeless, is awaiting trial. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Man-sought-in-homeless-killings-in-New-York-17000873.php | 2022-03-14T16:57:50 | en | 0.979309 |
PHOENIX (AP) — Prosecutors in Arizona's most populous county have dropped nearly 200 criminal cases because charges weren't filed before the statute of limitation ran out.
Ryan Green, a division chief in the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office, told The Arizona Republic that a supervisor never delegated 180 cases to prosecutors.
The cases include drunk driving, domestic violence, assaults and criminal damage incidents that happened in 2020. Most of them were initiated by the Arizona Department of Public Safety and the county sheriff's office.
Green says a staffing shortage and high volume of cases contributed to the issue.
The lapse in case handling comes as County Attorney Allister Adel continues to be questioned about her abilities to lead the office. Some, including former County Attorney Rick Romley, have urged Adel to resign. They say her sobriety struggles have caused her to be absent from crucial day-to-day tasks.
Adel told the newspaper a failure of “a few employees” does not mean she cannot do her job. She says she is committed to ensuring this does not happen again. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Maricopa-County-prosecutors-forced-to-drop-180-17000888.php | 2022-03-14T16:57:56 | en | 0.978489 |
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Police in South Carolina say a woman is dead and four people are injured after an argument at a party escalated into a shooting.
The Columbia Police Department is investigating the shooting after officers were dispatched early Sunday morning to the Greene Crossing Apartments complex in Columbia.
Police say early information suggests the victims were at a party inside the apartment when an argument started and several people began shooting.
The Richland County Coroner’s Office identified the slain woman as 20-year-old Jamacia Dowling to news outlets on Monday. Four other people between the ages of 16 and 22 were also shot.
Officers arriving at the apartment complex Sunday saw people running and driving away, but did interview several people and gathered evidence at the scene, police said. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Police-1-dead-4-injured-after-shooting-during-17000767.php | 2022-03-14T16:58:02 | en | 0.982391 |
