https://www.mrt.com/sports/article/Notre-Dame-makes-historic-football-game-vs-17060032.php | SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Notre Dame will make history in its 2023 home opener by hosting Tennessee State on Sept. 2, marking the first time the Fighting Irish have faced a Historically Black College or University.
School officials made the announcement Tuesday and credited second-year Tigers coach Eddie George, the 1995 Heisman Trophy winner, and Tennessee State athletic director Mikki Allen with creating the vision to schedule the game that will be televised nationally on NBC.
“We’re excited to bring a pair of great academic institutions that are steeped in tradition together in 2023,” Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick said in a statement. "I’m thrilled we’re able to bring the Tigers and the Irish together for a weekend that will feature programs with over 20 combined national titles, the Aristocrat of Bands and the Band of the Fighting Irish.”
Tennessee State has won more than 550 games and lists former NFL stars Richard Dent, Ed “Too Tall" Jones, Claude Humphrey and Dominque Rodgers-Cromartie among its alums.
The Tigers won the 1973 Division II national championship and 12 Black College national championships since 1946, but haven't reached the FCS playoffs since 2013.
“TSU and Notre Dame are two iconic programs that have helped shape today’s college athletics landscape,” Allen said. “We are setting the foundation for long-term success under coach George’s leadership. The goal is that TSU will be a destination program for the next generation of student-athletes to come.”
Notre Dame opens the 2023 season Aug. 26 when it faces Navy in Dublin, Ireland.

Adelaide United star Chelsie Dawber has signed with NWSL club Chicago Red Stars as she attempts to break into the Matildas squad ahead of the Women's World Cup.
Dawber was a revelation alongside golden boot winner Fiona Worts in Adelaide's attack, scoring 10 goals and notching three assists, as United finished third in the ALW and made finals for the first time in their history.
The 22-year-old, who is yet to be capped, has joined Chicago on a two-year deal, with an option for a third.

"I want to thank Adelaide United and all the coaching staff I've worked with for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to play for this amazing club.
"My goal has always been to play for the Matildas and I believe playing overseas in a tough league will give me a better chance of a call-up to the national team.
"I'm definitely not ruling out coming back to Adelaide after the NWSL season.
"Approaching a World Cup year, it's vital to be playing as many games as possible and give myself the best path for success."
Chicago was previously the home of Matildas captain Sam Kerr, who shot to global prominence with standout goal-scoring performances for the Red Stars in 2018 and 2019 before joining Chelsea.
"Chelsie is an impressive young player. She has proven she can score goals at a high level, play multiple positions and still be effective," Red Stars coach Chris Petrucelli said.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/tonyeast/2022/04/05/indiana-pacers-hoping-cleveland-cavaliers-reach-postseason-with-draft-pick-remifications/ | The Indiana Pacers received a first-round draft pick from the Cleveland Cavaliers earlier this season in a future-looking trade — Indiana sent guard Caris LeVert to Cleveland for guard Ricky Rubio, a second-round pick, and a protected first-round pick.
It was a shrewd trade for a Pacers, who needed to make rebuilding moves in the midst of a sunken season. But the teams agreed to put protections on the first-round pick sent from the Cavaliers to the Pacers, and with the Cavs going 10-15 since the deal, those protections are worth monitoring down the stretch of the season.
Draft pick protections allow a team to delay a trade obligation of a draft pick if it falls within a certain range. In this case, the first rounder that the Cavaliers sent the Pacers is lottery protected, meaning that if the Cavaliers end up with any pick between one and 14 in the 2022 NBA draft, they would keep their first-round choice. If the Cavaliers premier draft slot ends up between 15 and 30, it would be sent to Indiana.
If the Cavaliers don’t send the Pacers the draft asset in 2022, then the cycle repeats during the 2023 season. Should the Cavaliers finish with a lottery pick in 2022-23, then they would once again keep their first-round pick, but if they keep their first-round pick in 2022 and then make the playoffs in 2023, Indiana would get Cleveland’s first pick at that time.
If the Pacers have not received a first-round draft pick from the Cavaliers after the next two seasons, then instead of a first-round pick, Indiana would get the Cavs 2025 second-round pick and the Los Angeles Lakers 2026 second-round pick (a pick that Cleveland currently owns).
“We added multiple picks that we feel great about,” Pacers President of Basketball Operations Kevin Pritchard said just after the trade deadline.
The Pacers would prefer that they get a first-round pick as opposed to two second-round picks, so they will be closely moniotining Cleveland’s fortuntes for the rest of this season and, if relevant, next season. This season, in particular, is enticing for the Pacers since the Cavaliers pick is currently slated to be inside the top-20, a nearly best-case scenario.
Cleveland, as of April 5, sits in seventh in the Eastern Conference — one spot out of an automatic postseason berth. If the Cavaliers can reach the sixth spot in the East by the end of the season, they would make the playoffs by default and their first-round pick would be traded to the Pacers.
The Cavs sit 2.5 games behind both the Chicago Bulls and Toronto Raptors in the Eastern Conference standings with a few games to play. They would have to perform almost perfectly to lock up an automatic postseason berth, and even then they would need a slump from Chicago or Toronto to reach sixth in the East. The Cavaliers own the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Raptors, but not the Bulls.
Should the Cavaliers end up in the play-in tournament, which looks exceedingly likely, then things get tricky. The team from Ohio would play in a mini-tournament with a playoff spot in the line. If the Cavs finish the regular season with the seventh or eighth seed, then they would have two chances to win one game and reach the postseason. If Clevland finishes ninth or tenth in their conference, then they would have to win two games in a row to reach the playoffs.
A playoff berth is required of the Cavs for the Pacers to receive a first-round pick. If Cleveland finishes the regular season with a top-15 record, but still misses the playoffs thanks to a failed play-in tournament, then the team would keep their first-round pick.
Indiana is in a tough spot in that they want the draft pick to be as strong as possible, but they also want to actually get the pick. Finding the right balance of hope is tough this late in the season, but the Pacers desires are obvious — they want the Cavaliers to make the 2022 NBA playoffs and will be rooting for them during the upcoming stretch of play. | 0 | 84,206 | 0.628605 | https://www.indycornrows.com/2022/4/7/23013516/playing-out-the-play-in-games-and-discussing-their-impact | 2022-04-08 03:10:31+00:00 | Though the Pacers, yet again, won’t be participating in the playoffs for a second-consecutive season, they still have a vested interest by proxy of draft implications.
On February 6, when Caris LeVert was traded to the Cavaliers in exchange for Ricky Rubio’s expiring contract, a lottery-protected 2022 first-round pick, and a 2022 second-round pick via Houston, Cleveland had the fourth-best record in the Eastern Conference. Since then, while forced to weather injuries to LeVert (sprained right foot), Dean Wade (torn meniscus), Jarrett Allen (fractured finger), and Evan Mobley (ankle sprain), they’ve gone 11-16, posting a win-loss record equal to or better than only Detroit (11-16), Washington (11-16), Orlando (9-17), and Indiana (6-20) in the East, while limping — quite literally — into the play-in tournament. As it stands now, the Cavs will enter the tournament as the seventh seed, but they could still slip into the lottery if they lose to whichever team finishes in eighth as well as to the winner of the 9-10 game. In that event, the pick they owe the Pacers, which is also protected 1-14 next season, won’t convey for the upcoming draft.
From Cleveland’s perspective, though they clearly aren’t playing their best basketball of the season at the moment, parting with a mid-tier selection in this year’s draft might actually be the more preferable outcome, as there is still value to be gained in playoff experience as well as retaining flexibility to move future picks, which will be more difficult if the protections roll into next year. As for the Pacers, whether it is better to gain the pick now or later largely hinges on how the two draft classes compare in that range, but if the Cavs miss the playoffs again next season, Cleveland will instead convey their 2025 second-round pick as well as a 2026 second-round pick via the Lakers.
Needless to say, there is ample rooting interest on both sides for the Cavs to make the playoffs, which is why the latest episode of the Indy Cornrows podcast isn’t about the Pacers but rather how the play-in tournament impacts the Pacers.
Topics:
- Overview of the how the play-in tournament works
- Cleveland’s projected starting lineup and playoff rotation
- Preferred opponents between Brooklyn, Atlanta, and Charlotte (probably in that order)
- Ongoing seeding chaos with the Nets controlling their own destiny
- Previewing a potential match-up with the Hawks
- Can Trae Young punish Cleveland more than Cleveland can punish him?

ESPN’s Zach Lowe reported on the most recent episode of his podcast The Lowe Post that the pick is top-five protected.
UPDATE:
Lowe reports
Top 5 protected in 2027, 2028, and 2029, then converts to 2 2nds.
A couple notes:
To include 2029, must be executed after the draft.
He hypothesizes 2030 2nds, but that's too far out to be legal. My guess is it converts to just one 2029 2nd. https://t.co/GYynmEQRm5 pic.twitter.com/Me5oA2YMxS

Windy accidentally says he's heard OKC's 2027 Denver pick is top-5 protected.
FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH pic.twitter.com/y5otUCCKKV
— Stephen Dolan (@SteveThunderfan) June 21, 2022
If the Nuggets get a top-five pick in the 2027 draft, then the Thunder will have two more chances to get the first-round pick in 2028 and 2029 under the same top-five protection.
If the Nuggets get three consecutive top-fives in the 2027, 2028 and 2029 drafts, then the Thunder will get one or two second-round picks.
Considering all the Thunder had to eat was Green’s $8.2 million salary for next season, this is a massive win that they were able to get such a light protection on a small trade.
The Thunder were able to help the Nuggets shed $20 million off of luxury taxes on their payroll with just this trade. The Nuggets — who recently loss general manager Tim Connelly to the Minnesota Timberwolves — appear to be trying to shed some salary off of their team payroll with a quartet of massive contracts to Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, Michael Porter Jr. and Aaron Gordon taking up virtually their entire cap space. |

Should the Cavaliers end up in the play-in tournament, which looks exceedingly likely, then things get tricky. The team from Ohio would play in a mini-tournament with a playoff spot in the line. If the Cavs finish the regular season with the seventh or eighth seed, then they would have two chances to win one game and reach the postseason. If Clevland finishes ninth or tenth in their conference, then they would have to win two games in a row to reach the playoffs.
A playoff berth is required of the Cavs for the Pacers to receive a first-round pick. If Cleveland finishes the regular season with a top-15 record, but still misses the playoffs thanks to a failed play-in tournament, then the team would keep their first-round pick.
Indiana is in a tough spot in that they want the draft pick to be as strong as possible, but they also want to actually get the pick. Finding the right balance of hope is tough this late in the season, but the Pacers desires are obvious — they want the Cavaliers to make the 2022 NBA playoffs and will be rooting for them during the upcoming stretch of play. | 2 | 80,790 | 0.754445 | https://theathletic.com/3482962/2022/08/08/donovan-mitchell-trade-nba-knicks/ | 2022-08-08 14:32:32+00:00 | There is a phenomenon that has overcome the NBA over the past few seasons. Teams are trading first-round picks and protecting them three, four and sometimes five years into the future.
It’s yet another reason (along with the dizzying asking price, the personalities involved and the mass inflation in the marketplace) that the Utah Jazz have yet to lock in a Donovan Mitchell trade.
When a team deals a first-rounder and protects it for years, it hampers the ability to trade down-the-line picks. For example, the Washington Wizards have a 2023 first-round selection going to the New York Knicks that’s top-14 protected in ‘23, top-12 protected in ‘24, top-10 protected in ‘25 and top-eight protected in ‘26. Because teams can’t trade away first-rounders in consecutive seasons, the next first-round pick the Wizards can flip is their 2028 one. And because teams also aren’t allowed to deal first-rounders more than seven drafts into the future, Washington can trade only one first-round pick.
The Wizards have reportedly expressed interest in Mitchell. Yet, one first-rounder is about half-a-dozen short of what the Jazz want in return.
The Knicks are one team that’s been linked to Mitchell, but there are more. The Athletic’s Shams Charania reported six organizations not located in New York — the Non-Knicks Six — that have expressed interest in the three-time All-Star: the Wizards, Miami Heat, Toronto Raptors, Charlotte Hornets, Sacramento Kings and Atlanta Hawks. Many of those organizations are dealing with a similar pick-stripped situation as the Wizards are, either because they have dealt too many away or because they have one out the door but it’s protected for years.
The Jazz can ask for an endless string of first-rounders all they want, but a team can offer only what it has.
Over the past few weeks, I’ve written or said or thought some variation of the following line countless times: the Knicks’ B-level offer is better than most of the other suitors’ A-level offers. But how true is that? Which of the Non-Knicks Six can come close to the package New York could cobble together?
The Jazz want five or six or seven first-round picks, as well as young players. The Knicks own all of their firsts as well as four from other teams: the Wizards’ in 2023, the Detroit Pistons’ in ‘23, the Dallas Mavericks’ in ‘23 and the Milwaukee Bucks’ in ‘25. All of those are protected. They can deal up to eight first-rounders, including up to four unprotected ones. They could add at least three first-round swaps. They have attractive up-and-comers, including RJ Barrett (who we should assume would not be part of a hypothetical deal), Quentin Grimes, Immanuel Quickley and Obi Toppin.
Offering, say, five first-rounders, some of them protected, along with one young player wouldn’t come close to meeting the Jazz’s asking price. But at the same time, some teams in the running couldn’t even beat that.
And thus, we have a stalemate.
For now, the Knicks know no one is coming close to them. And the Jazz want more for Mitchell than they received in that gargantuan return for Rudy Gobert.
So, let’s perform an exercise to put all of this into better context …
Here is a dive into the greatest possible offers the Non-Knicks Six could make for Mitchell — the all-in, “we must land this guy” pitches — along with what the Knicks could trade to top them:
Wizards’ all-in package
Kyle Kuzma
Rui Hachimura
Deni Avdija
Johnny Davis
Corey Kispert
2027 first-round swap (unprotected)
2028 first-round pick (unprotected)
2029 first-round swap (unprotected)
Analysis: The Wizards are capped out through 2025, which means their best chance to add a big name is via a trade. They’d have to play without a conventional point guard in their starting lineup if they pulled this off; Bradley Beal and Mitchell would co-run the offense.
Hachimura doesn’t fit the profile of what the Jazz would reportedly prefer. They want picks and controllable, young players. Hachimura is extension-eligible right now and can become a free agent next summer. In a year, he’ll make market value.
Davis is fresh off becoming the No. 10 pick, but that was in a weak draft. He struggled at summer league. Avdija looks like he could have big-time defensive potential, but the offense hasn’t come yet. Kispert was much better than the overall numbers showed as a rookie. His jumper caught fire in the second half of the season, but he still projects as a helpful, winning role player — not necessarily someone who would be the key piece in a trade for a three-time All-Star.
Kuzma is a free agent after this season, but Utah could try to flip him for a pick or young player.
Meanwhile, because the Wizards have that protected 2023 pick going to the Knicks, they can include only one first-round pick in this trade.
They could open up two more first-rounders to trade if they hit up the Knicks and gave them an asset to unprotect the 2023 first that New York owns, but that’s a risky game to play. Washington finished 12th in the Eastern Conference last season. This deal would take a chunk out of its rotation. What if it misses the playoffs again and is giving up a lottery pick? Also, if the Knicks feel like they’re the favorites for Mitchell, would they want to help another suitor for him improve their offer?
What the Knicks could offer to beat it: Including three of their unprotected first-round picks and two from other teams, as well as just one prospect, should top this offer, and it would still leave the Knicks with a full rotation as well as two other teams’ first-rounders and an extra one of their own. As with many of these offers, the Knicks could rotate another player from the young core into the package to save a draft pick.
Heat’s all-in package
Duncan Robinson
Tyler Herro
Nikola Jovic
2023 first-round pick (unprotected)
2027 first-round swap (unprotected)
2028 first-round pick (unprotected)
2029 first-round swap (unprotected)
Analysis: Herro is the reigning NBA Sixth Man of the Year, but conceptually, he presents a more extreme version of the same predicament Hachimura would. He is entering his fourth season, which means he’s extension-eligible, as well. And unlike Hachimura, Herro will command a max.
Does Utah want to hand out such an expensive contract before its rebuild even begins? For what it’s worth, the Jazz would ask the same question about Barrett while negotiating with the Knicks. All things being equal, second- or third-year players are more worthwhile to them than fourth-year ones.
Robinson would be in the trade only for salary-matching purposes. Yes, the point of this exercise is to present the greatest all-in package a team can put out there, but we have to be somewhat realistic. Miami is not including Jimmy Butler or Bam Adebayo, and I don’t see the Jazz wanting Kyle Lowry’s $58 million remaining over the next couple of seasons.
Ultimately, it will come down to the picks, and as of now, Miami can’t offer many of those. They could add a 2024 first-round swap to this package, but that would be extremely unlikely to matter, considering the Heat will be competitive and the Jazz will be rebuilding. The 2023 first is likely to be somewhere in the 20s.
They’re another team that has to overcome an encumbered first-rounder heading elsewhere. They can hit up Oklahoma City to see if the Thunder will take an asset to unprotect the 2025 first-rounder they have going there. That would allow them to send Utah their 2023, ’27 and ’29 firsts with swaps, as well. But moves like that are easier said than done.
What the Knicks could offer to beat it: This would take a similar package to the one that beat the Wizards’ offer. Three unprotected first-rounders (including the ones from 2027 and ‘29, which are the most valuable) along with a couple of first-rounders from other teams and a prospect could clinch this for the Knicks. If not, they could include one more of the first-rounders from other teams or one more player and still have room to spare.
Raptors’ all-in package
OG Anunoby
Gary Trent Jr.
Precious Achiuwa
2023 first-round pick (unprotected)
2025 first-round pick (unprotected)
2027 first-round pick (unprotected)
2029 first-round pick (unprotected)
Analysis: I would bet a large sum of money the Raptors would never offer this much. It’s a massive amount to give up for Mitchell. They’ve already won a championship, so is their level of desperation the same? On top of that, who knows if the Raptors are even in a position to trade for Mitchell, considering they can also put together one of the best packages for Kevin Durant, even without including reigning NBA Rookie of the Year Scottie Barnes, and may want to wait for that saga to end before they look elsewhere? But the point of this exercise is to take all of these trade offers to their most extreme points, then see what it would take for the Knicks to beat them. And if Toronto fell in love with Mitchell, it could present an extraordinary assortment of building blocks.
Barnes would be off the table. No offer includes him for the same reason Butler wouldn’t be in the Heat one. The Raptors could add swaps, too, if they wanted to up the ante.
They could try different variations of this deal that include, say, Pascal Siakam, but the Jazz aren’t looking for a 28-year-old under contract for only two more years, especially because Mitchell won’t even become a free agent for three years. I’m also not sure the Raptors would even do that. Siakam is a two-way, two-time All-NBA forward inside an organization addicted to length and defensive versatility. Mitchell is yet to earn those types of accolades.
Anunoby is on a team-friendly deal and isn’t quite the up-and-comer type Utah would want today, but he’s still only 25 years old, is under contract for three more years and is the exact type of player — a versatile, 3-point shooting, multi-positional defending, brawny wing — who would be a near-perfect fit on all 30 rosters. He could help anyone win. And that means the Jazz could look at him as an intermediary for more picks. He could bring back multiple first-rounders.
Achiuwa is 22, can guard like a maniac and started draining 3s at the end of last season. Trent is only 23, yet is nearly a 20-point scorer.
What the Knicks could offer to beat it: This is where it would take the Knicks going all in. They would have to give up all four of their unprotected picks (since the Raptors are doing the same) along with the three best ones from other teams; let’s say the Pistons, Wizards and Bucks. They would need a player or two, too, considering Anunoby’s status. Grimes, Quickley and Toppin would all have to be on the table. But again, there is essentially no chance the Raptors dig this far into the Mitchell market.
Hornets’ all-in package
Mason Plumlee
P.J. Washington
James Bouknight
Mark Williams
Kai Jones
Denver Nuggets’ 2023 first-round pick (top-14 protected in ‘23, ‘24 and ‘25, then becomes two second-rounders)
2027 first-round pick (unprotected)
2028 first-round swap (unprotected)
2029 first-round pick (unprotected)
Analysis: This is a quantity trade. The Hornets can offer three first-rounders. Two are unprotected, but the Nuggets pick can’t ever be in the lottery.
Washington is an underrated player and has sneakily run quite well as a small-ball five, but he’s a free agent after this season and is extension-eligible now. As for the other young guys in the offer …
Charlotte barely played Bouknight last season. He has to be one of the most gettable 2021 first-round selections in the league. Of the 14 lottery picks from his draft, he placed dead last in minutes played as a rookie. He played less than half as many minutes as the Golden State Warriors’ Moses Moody, who was 13th on that list, and Moody only ran so little because he played on a title team.
Jones, who went 19th in the same draft, played the second-fewest minutes of any first-round rookie last season.
Williams just went 15th in June. He’s an interesting prospect but isn’t the expected key piece in a hypothetical Mitchell deal.
The Jazz will want far-out picks, and that’s good, but the Hornets have succumbed to far-out protections, too. Their 2023 first-rounder, which they originally dealt to the Knicks on 2021 draft night and which the Knicks flipped to the Hawks in the Cam Reddish trade, is now in San Antonio and is protected through ‘25. They can trade only two unprotected firsts and considering the prospects they’re giving up, that’s not enough to top a generic Knicks package.
What the Knicks could offer to beat it: Depending on what you think of the prospects, the Hornets’ offer could beat the Wizards’. Charlotte is offering three first-rounders compared to one — an additional unprotected one as well as the Denver one. One could argue the Hornets’ is better than the Heat’s all-in offer, too. Still, the Knicks could beat Charlotte’s handily. They could match the 2027 and ‘29 first-rounders, as well as the ‘28 swap. They could include a similarly protected first-rounder from another team. If they throw Grimes in there, as well as another first-round pick, that should top this with room to spare.
Kings’ all-in package
Harrison Barnes
Keegan Murray
Davion Mitchell
2027 first-round swap (unprotected)
2028 first-round pick (unprotected)
2029 first-round swap (unprotected)
Analysis: Two months ago, the Kings could have offered more for Mitchell, but they hampered themselves with the Kevin Huerter trade, flipping a 2024 first-rounder to Atlanta and protecting it through ‘26. But, despite including only one first-round pick, this is a legitimate offer. The wonder is: Would Sacramento propose it?
I threw Murray in just because it’s the only way I could conceive of the Jazz even picking up a call from the Kings. There’s a natural follow-up to that, of course: coming off a 12th-place Western Conference finish, how could the Kings ever even mention exchanging Murray, the No. 4 choice in June’s draft, for three years of Mitchell? But there were also various reports of Sacramento shopping the fourth selection leading up to the draft. Those reports said the Kings wanted a consequential player in return. This team is trying to make the playoffs, enough so that it just traded Tyrese Haliburton (who’s not going to be good one day; he’s already good) for two and a half years of Domantas Sabonis.
Sacramento could increase the offer with a 2023 pick swap.
Davion Mitchell flashed defensive potential last season, but the offense is yet to come. The Jazz could flip Barnes for a younger player or picks at the deadline, but a half-season Barnes rental isn’t landing you a massive return.
What the Knicks could offer to beat it: If the Jazz loved Murray, there would be some juice to this offer. Think about it like this: a model that calculates the value of an average unprotected first-round pick way out into the future would project that selection to come in around No. 15. Murray just went fourth and had a great summer league. If Utah believed he had star potential, it would have to consider this. Still, the Knicks can beat it, and since the Kings could toss in only one future first-rounder, New York wouldn’t need to make its all-in offer. Three unprotected Knicks firsts along with three of the protected firsts and a young player might do it. If the Jazz aren’t big Murray believers, a superior Knicks offer would look far lighter.
Hawks’ all-in package
John Collins
De’Andre Hunter
Onyeka Okongwu
2023 first-round pick (unprotected)
Kings’ 2024 first-round pick (top-14 protected in ‘24, top-12 in ‘25, top-10 in ‘26, then becomes two second-rounders)
2024 first-round swap (unprotected)
2028 first-round swap (unprotected)
2029 first-round pick (unprotected)
Analysis: If the Hawks push all their chips to the middle of the table, they can present one of the best packages for Mitchell.
They’ve been open to trading Collins for a while. If they worked out a Mitchell deal, there’s a realistic chance he’d be in it. He’s already had a 20-and-10 season, can drain 3s, is better defensively today than he was when he first came into the league and is only 24 years old.
Okongwu has massive defensive potential, both as a rim protector and a switchblade big man who can guard away from the rim (and he’s an underrated passer), but he’s dealt with injury issues. The same could be said for Hunter, who is entering his fourth season, meaning he’s one of those extension-eligible guys with only a year remaining on his contract.
But why would the Hawks offer all of this to Utah?
They just traded a couple of unprotected first-rounders for Dejounte Murray and already have Trae Young leading the way. That’s two point guards. Piecing together all of your remaining resources to add a 6-foot-1 combo guard would be odd.
Salaries don’t technically work in this hypothetical. The Jazz are taking back a bit too much money, but that’s easy to fix. Utah could just send Rudy Gay or another of its veterans to Atlanta. Maybe the two teams could conspire to pair the two Bogdanovics together. Either way, the financial mismatching is easy to fix.
What the Knicks could offer to beat it: This is a real offer. The Knicks might have to include all four of their unprotected first-rounders, given Okongwu’s and Hunter’s potential, as well as a couple of the protected ones from other teams. If they included that much, though, they should be able to hold onto a couple of the young trio, meaning Grimes, Toppin or Quickley.
Final thoughts
The Non-Knicks Six may not be the only teams who inquire about Mitchell. Maybe another organization that’s not in the mix today notices the stagnating market and tries to capitalize on it.
If the Orlando Magic wanted to speed up their timeline, they could throw loads of their picks, as well as lightly protected ones from the Nuggets and Chicago Bulls, along with a talented young guy or two. But realistically, they’re way too far from even the Play-In Tournament to make a move like that.
The Cleveland Cavaliers could build an offer around Jarrett Allen and three of their firsts, though that would require a massive identity change and speeding up their schedule, as well.
The Mavericks could seek to pair Mitchell with Luka Doncic but the 2023 first-rounder of theirs that the Knicks own is protected through ‘25; they could deal only two first-round selections. They don’t have a sought-after young player to anchor a trade, either.
The Portland Trail Blazers, who are gunning for the postseason with Damian Lillard entering his age-32 season, would probably love someone of Mitchell’s caliber, but they are victims of the longest pick-protecting approach in the league; their 2023 first-rounder is going to Chicago and is protected until 2028, which means they cannot trade a first-rounder at all.
This exercise should explain why, at least for now, the Knicks wouldn’t meet an asking price of six or seven first-rounders in a Mitchell trade. Even if most of the Non-Knicks Six wanted to dive into the Mitchell pool, a four- or five-pick offer from New York could still best them. The Raptors and Hawks can technically make loaded proposals, but would either come close to their max offers in real life? Would the Kings unload the entire cupboard to add three years of Mitchell to a 52-loss squad?
Any organization would be hesitant to unleash every asset it has for a player who’s never made All-NBA. Even in trades for superstars, teams push to keep at least one or two of their top players or draft assets. So, factor in this reality: these teams are unlikely to offer their all-in packages to Utah, and once that sinks in, what the Knicks could be willing to give up starts to shrink even more. There’s a world where (depending on which players and protected picks are in the offer) a Knicks package with only two unprotected first-rounders is the best one on the table.
So, we have a standstill. The Jazz want an A-plus return, and the Knicks could give one, but why do it if no one else is offering better than a B?

https://www.sfchronicle.com/sports/article/Notre-Dame-makes-historic-football-game-vs-17060032.php | SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Notre Dame will make history in its 2023 home opener by hosting Tennessee State on Sept. 2, marking the first time the Fighting Irish have faced a Historically Black College or University.
School officials made the announcement Tuesday and credited second-year Tigers coach Eddie George, the 1995 Heisman Trophy winner, and Tennessee State athletic director Mikki Allen with creating the vision to schedule the game that will be televised nationally on NBC.
“We’re excited to bring a pair of great academic institutions that are steeped in tradition together in 2023,” Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick said in a statement. "I’m thrilled we’re able to bring the Tigers and the Irish together for a weekend that will feature programs with over 20 combined national titles, the Aristocrat of Bands and the Band of the Fighting Irish.”
Tennessee State has won more than 550 games and lists former NFL stars Richard Dent, Ed “Too Tall" Jones, Claude Humphrey and Dominque Rodgers-Cromartie among its alums.
The Tigers won the 1973 Division II national championship and 12 Black College national championships since 1946, but haven't reached the FCS playoffs since 2013.
“TSU and Notre Dame are two iconic programs that have helped shape today’s college athletics landscape,” Allen said. “We are setting the foundation for long-term success under coach George’s leadership. The goal is that TSU will be a destination program for the next generation of student-athletes to come.”
Notre Dame opens the 2023 season Aug. 26 when it faces Navy in Dublin, Ireland.

“TSU and Notre Dame are two iconic programs that have helped shape today’s college athletics landscape,” Allen said. “We are setting the foundation for long-term success under coach George’s leadership. The goal is that TSU will be a destination program for the next generation of student-athletes to come.”
Notre Dame opens the 2023 season Aug. 26 when it faces Navy in Dublin, Ireland.

Alec Baldwin is asking a federal judge to dismiss a defamation lawsuit filed by a Wyoming woman who said she received hateful social media messages after the actor shared on social media a photo she posted of demonstrators at former President Donald Trump's rally in January 2021 and made a political comment.
“Reposting a photo Roice (McCollum) herself publicly posted and then expressing a political opinion about it cannot be the basis for an intentional infliction claim,” Baldwin’s attorneys argued Monday.
The lawsuit was filed in January by Roice McCollum whose brother was killed by a suicide bomber at the airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, in August 2021.
After learning of the death of Marine Lance Cpl. Rylee McCollum of Wyoming, and the expected birth of his daughter, Baldwin reached out to Roice McCollum via Instagram and donated $5,000 to the family.
In January, Baldwin saw that Roice McCollum had posted on Instagram a picture of demonstrators from former President Donald Trump's rally at the Washington Monument taken on Jan. 6, 2021.
Baldwin sent her a private message asking if she was the one who had organized the fundraiser. She confirmed she was the same woman and that she had been at the protest which she called “perfectly legal," according to court documents.
Baldwin told Roice McCollum he'd shared her photo with his 2.4 million Instagram followers and wrote: “Good luck,” according to the lawsuit.
Roice McCollum said she received hundreds of hateful messages including one telling her to “get raped and die," and that her brother “got what he deserved,” according to the lawsuit, which was filed in Wyoming.
The complaint, which also names Cheyenne McCollum and Rylee’s wife, Jiennah McCollum, as plaintiffs, said they were defamed following the online dispute. They are seeking $25 million in damages.
Baldwin's response lists several reasons the lawsuit should be dismissed, including arguing the court does not have jurisdiction over Baldwin because he does not live in Wyoming, that private communications between himself and Roice Baldwin cannot be defamatory and that Cheyenne and Jiennah's claims should be dismissed because Baldwin didn't make any statements about them.
Baldwin “was struck by the irony that his tribute to a fallen Marine, a patriot, was coordinated by an individual who participated in an event that — in Baldwin's and many other people's opinion — was an assault on the core of American democracy,” his response said.
“The real irony here is that Roice is suing Baldwin for expressing his widely supported opinion about January 6, when Roice had written to him moments before that her participation at January 6 — an event that promoted the false assertion that the 2020 election was stolen — constitutes the ‘freedom of protest,’ ” the response said. | 0 | 51,315 | 0.522415 | https://www.10tv.com/article/news/nation-world/alec-baldwin-wyoming-defamation-lawsuit-response/507-5ea8efc6-7293-43bd-bab1-0e969252803d | 2022-04-06 02:05:03+00:00 | Editor's note: This article briefly refers to threatening messages with graphic language as described by a lawsuit.

Where To Follow The Ultimatum Cast On Instagram
They’re all about to put their relationships to the ultimate test.
April 6 marks the premiere of yet another outlandish Netflix dating show: The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On. Similar to USA’s Temptation Island, the show puts four existing couples to the test — but with higher stakes. Each of the couples have entered the experiment because one partner wants to get married and the other isn’t as sure. Over the course of eight weeks, they’ll individually separate and move in with someone from one of the other couples for a three-week “trial marriage,” giving them an idea of what a future with someone else might look like. Then, the original couples will move in together for another three weeks. At the end, they’ll decide if they want to finally commit — or move on with someone else.
Get to know the cast — and where to follow them on Instagram — below.
Rae, 24
A proud HBCU alum from Southwestern University, Rae’s feed is populated with selfies and glamor shots that show off her curly hair. However, if you’re more interested in what’s going on inside Rae’s head, she has her Twitter linked in her bio. Her timeline is full of musings about life and love. One her most recent tweets evokes a Drake lyric: “Ain’t much out here to have feelings for.” Perhaps that’s ominous foreshadowing for how her time on the show will go?
Madlyn, 24
Madlyn’s feed shows off her fun side. The Texas A&M alum turned IT project manager isn’t shy about flaunting the matching butterfly tattoo she got with her friend, nor her ability to take over a DJ booth at a wedding. You’ll also find a video of two cute white dogs frolicking in some flowers on her grid.
Colby, 25
Colby’s Instagram highlights his love for the outdoors, including photos of him traversing the grand canyon and walking among the palm trees. He also enjoys hunting, whether on his own or with a four-legged friend.
Randall, 26
A proud alum of Florida A&M University, Randall loves a good Instagram ‘fit pic. If he’s not wearing a snazzily patterned shirt, he’s showing off a pair of snazzy pants instead. He can pull off a dapper suit just as well as he can a matching poolside set. “Out-dressing you even in my play clothes,” he captioned a 2020 post.
Shanique, 24
Though Shanique lives in Austin, her bio says that she’s Jamaican-born, which may explain why she feels so at home near the water. Her feed as populated with pictures of her poolside, beachside, on boats, and rafting rivers, all while managing to keep her hair positively perfect.
Lauren, 26
Judging by Lauren’s Instagram feed, you’d be hard pressed to find her inside for any prolonged period of time. Born and raised in Austin, Lauren looks like she’s entirely comfortable trekking through mountains, strolling along the beach, and lounging on hammocks in Mexico.
Nate, 30
The Austin, Texas native and real estate developer may have trouble committing on The Ultimatum, if only because his heart clearly belongs to his gorgeous pooch. Nathan’s dog Charlie is the star of his Instagram feed, which shows the two explore hiking trails, parks, and summer patios.
Zay, 25
With only three posts, Zay has the sparsest Instagram in the cast by far. One of his posts is a promotional video for The Ultimatum, while the other two are professional shots — one of Zay in a cowboy hat and another in a suit. His bio includes links to his TikTok, Snapchat, and Twitter, so you can check those out to learn more about him.
Jake, 26
Jake’s feed quickly lets you know that he’s a military man, having served as recently as 2019. His grid also features photos of him dressed up for a wedding and sporting a more casual look for a low-key evening.
April, 23
According to April’s bio, she moved from LA to Austin. Her love of warm weather is apparent across her feed: Whether by the beach or the pool, April almost always finds a way to soak up the sun.
Hunter, 28
Hunter definitely seems like someone who likes to spend time outside of the house. His feed is filled with photos of hims wakeboarding, hiking, skiing, and attending a college football tailgate in support of the Texas Longhorns.
Alexis, 25
Alexis is clearly a fan of cocktails. Whether it’s an evening martini, a glass of wine on a patio, or a poolside margarita, Alexis likes to imbibe. She also has plenty of pictures of her in bright florals, bikinis, and evening dresses. Bonus points to Alexis for her remarkable Mean Girls Halloween costume. | 0 | 101,170 | 0.495969 | https://decider.com/2022/04/06/the-ultimatum-marry-or-move-on-season-1-cast-couples-instagram/ | 2022-04-06 17:48:46+00:00 | Netflix’s next reality romance series is The Ultimatum: Marry Or Move On — and the title pretty much says it all. The show stars six couples, all dealing with an ultimatum that one partner has issued to the other. Who will ultimately get married, and who will move on? That’s what the series aims to find out by putting all of the participants through two trial marriage scenarios. First everyone will partner up with someone else in the cast — someone who they just might have a spark with. After living with that person for three weeks, all the original couples will reunite and live together for another three weeks. Everyone will get two glimpses and two different futures with two different people before they make the ultimate decision.
The premiere of this new social experiment is part of Netflix’s larger year-round reality romance schedule, an initiative that’s gonna give us more Love Is Blind, Too Hot to Handle, and The Ultimatum. That’s a whole lot of reality TV personalities to keep track of, and every new show just adds more to your Instagram feed. If you’re super into The Ultimatum and want to stay engaged with the show while you wait for the finale to drop, you can find all of the cast on Instagram. Keep on scrolling to find out where you can follow the Ultimatum cast.
Alexis & Hunter
Alexis (25) and Hunter (28) have been dating for two years. Alexis knew that Hunter was the one for her after they went on their first trip together. Now she can’t help wanting what she wants — and what she wants is a ring. That’s why Alexis issues the ultimatum.

Madlyn & Colby
Madlyn (24) and Colby (25) have been dating for one and a half years. They met in college back when Colby was working in a bar. He knew Madlyn was the one the instant she walked in. But Madlyn isn’t ready to settle down just yet, and she doesn’t think there’s one person for everyone. Marriage is a big choice! That’s why Colby issues the ultimatum.
- Follow Madlyn on Instagram at @madlynballatori

Shanique & Randall
Shanique (24) and Randall (26) have been dating for one and a half years. Shanique sees herself as a perfect wife. She loves to cook and is ready to start having kids — so what’s the holdup? Randall wants to get financially stable first and pay off some debt, so he’s not ready to get married. That’s why Shanique issues the ultimatum.

April & Jake
April (23) and Jake (26) have been dating for two years. Jake actually bought April an SUV, and that’s one reason why she calls him her angel sent from Heaven. They are best friends, but Jake just got out of the military and wants to spend some time traveling and saving money. Marriage ain’t in the cards for him yet. That’s why April issues the ultimatum.
- Follow April on Instagram at @itsaprilmarie

Rae & Zay
Rae (24) and Zay (25) have been dating for two and a half years. Rae has graduated college and she knows the next step is a proposal, a wedding, and then babies. She says she knows how to cook, clean, and f*** — what else is there? Zay, however, is still in school and this is his first relationship. He’s not ready to settle down yet. That’s why Rae issues the ultimatum.
- Follow Rae on Instagram at @rae.williams
- Follow Zay on Instagram at @theofficialzaywilson
Lauren & Nate
Lauren (26) and Nate (30) have been dating for two and a half years. Nate sees himself as a family man without the big family. He’s 30 and ready to be a dad — but Lauren doesn’t want to have kids. She’s just never felt compelled to be a mom, and that’s why she’s not ready to get married. That’s why Nate issues the ultimatum.

However, if you’re more interested in what’s going on inside Rae’s head, she has her Twitter linked in her bio. Her timeline is full of musings about life and love. One her most recent tweets evokes a Drake lyric: “Ain’t much out here to have feelings for.” Perhaps that’s ominous foreshadowing for how her time on the show will go?
Madlyn, 24
Madlyn’s feed shows off her fun side. The Texas A&M alum turned IT project manager isn’t shy about flaunting the matching butterfly tattoo she got with her friend, nor her ability to take over a DJ booth at a wedding. You’ll also find a video of two cute white dogs frolicking in some flowers on her grid.
Colby, 25
Colby’s Instagram highlights his love for the outdoors, including photos of him traversing the grand canyon and walking among the palm trees. He also enjoys hunting, whether on his own or with a four-legged friend.
Randall, 26
A proud alum of Florida A&M University, Randall loves a good Instagram ‘fit pic. If he’s not wearing a snazzily patterned shirt, he’s showing off a pair of snazzy pants instead. He can pull off a dapper suit just as well as he can a matching poolside set. “Out-dressing you even in my play clothes,” he captioned a 2020 post.
Shanique, 24
Though Shanique lives in Austin, her bio says that she’s Jamaican-born, which may explain why she feels so at home near the water. Her feed as populated with pictures of her poolside, beachside, on boats, and rafting rivers, all while managing to keep her hair positively perfect.
Lauren, 26
Judging by Lauren’s Instagram feed, you’d be hard pressed to find her inside for any prolonged period of time. Born and raised in Austin, Lauren looks like she’s entirely comfortable trekking through mountains, strolling along the beach, and lounging on hammocks in Mexico.
Nate, 30
The Austin, Texas native and real estate developer may have trouble committing on The Ultimatum, if only because his heart clearly belongs to his gorgeous pooch. Nathan’s dog Charlie is the star of his Instagram feed, which shows the two explore hiking trails, parks, and summer patios.
Zay, 25
With only three posts, Zay has the sparsest Instagram in the cast by far. One of his posts is a promotional video for The Ultimatum, while the other two are professional shots — one of Zay in a cowboy hat and another in a suit. His bio includes links to his TikTok, Snapchat, and Twitter, so you can check those out to learn more about him.
Jake, 26
Jake’s feed quickly lets you know that he’s a military man, having served as recently as 2019. His grid also features photos of him dressed up for a wedding and sporting a more casual look for a low-key evening.
April, 23
According to April’s bio, she moved from LA to Austin. Her love of warm weather is apparent across her feed: Whether by the beach or the pool, April almost always finds a way to soak up the sun.
Hunter, 28
Hunter definitely seems like someone who likes to spend time outside of the house. His feed is filled with photos of hims wakeboarding, hiking, skiing, and attending a college football tailgate in support of the Texas Longhorns.
Alexis, 25
Alexis is clearly a fan of cocktails. Whether it’s an evening martini, a glass of wine on a patio, or a poolside margarita, Alexis likes to imbibe. She also has plenty of pictures of her in bright florals, bikinis, and evening dresses. Bonus points to Alexis for her remarkable Mean Girls Halloween costume. | 1 | 52,309 | 0.525631 | https://www.distractify.com/p/ultimatum-season-1-cast-instagrams | 2022-04-06 02:12:06+00:00 | Check Out 'The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On' Season 1 Cast Members on Instagram
By Shannon RaphaelApr. 5 2022, Published 6:07 p.m. ET
The six pairs featured on the debut season of The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On have eight weeks to decide if they are ready to get engaged to their current significant others — or if it's time for them to break up for good.
The show, which comes from the creators of Love Is Blind, is Netflix's latest experimental dating series.
Instead of forging strong pod connections sight unseen like their Love Is Blind counterparts, The Ultimatum stars are flirting with two different futures. One of these futures includes a life with their current partner, and the other shows what it would be like to explore a connection with someone who has more similar goals.
As viewers get to know the new reality stars, they may want to check them out on Instagram (especially to see if any of them dropped any potential clues regarding their current relationship statuses).
1. Jake Cunningham (@ItsJakeCunningham)
After spending time in the military, Jake wants to travel, and to have fun before he gets married and has kids. His girlfriend, April, issued the ultimatum, and he's fairly certain that she is the one for him.
But, will that be enough to push him down the aisle?
2. April Marie (@ItsAprilMarie)
Jake and April's Instagram handles may be in sync, but their relationship isn't. While April is looking for a commitment from her longtime beau, he isn't ready to settle down until he gets various aspects of his life in order — like his finances.
You can follow April on Instagram here.
3. Zay Wilson (@TheOfficialZayWilson)
Zay's relationship with Rae marks his first serious romance, and he isn't sure yet whether there is someone out there who is a better fit for him.
4. Rae Williams (@Rae.Williams)
Rae has her life in order following her college graduation, but her boyfriend isn't as confident in their future together. She issued the ultimatum, and she wants to know if he'll ever be ready to marry her.
5. Madlyn Ballatori (@MadlynBallatori)
Like Rae and Zay, Madlyn and Colby have been together since they were quite young. As a result, Madlyn doesn't know if she wants to explore other options, or if she would rather follow Colby's lead and prepare for a wedding.
Her Instagram feed can be found here.
6. Colby Kiss (@Colby_Kiss)
Colby fell for Madlyn when the two were in college, and he's the one who is ready to walk down the aisle. However, Madlyn isn't sure if she wants to commit to marriage while she's still so young.
Madlyn may be struggling to make up her mind, but you can commit to following Colby on Instagram here.
7. Shanique Imari (@ShaniqueImari)
The SYN owner wants to have kids with Randall, but she wants to get married first. Her beau is afraid that her spending habit will get in the way of their relationship.
You can keep up with Shanique (and her amazing fashion looks) on social media.
8. Randall Griffin (@RL_Griffin)
Randall began dating Shanique about a year-and-a-half before they went on The Ultimatum. He isn't ready for marriage but, based on his Instagram page, he is ready to have a good time out in Austin.
9. Hunter Parr (@Papa_Parr)
Hunter swears that he will be ready to get married when he spends time with the right person — he just isn't sure if Alexis is the one.
His public Instagram feed can be found here.
10. Alexis Maloney (@AlexisElaineMaloney)
Alexis wants her boyfriend of two years to commit to marriage, but he's not sure if he's ready to take that step... with her.
11. Lauren Pounds (@LaurenKilos)
Lauren's Instagram handle is a play on words with her last name, and her beau, Nate, issued the ultimatum.
The craft cocktail creator doesn't want to have kids, especially since her boyfriend has been so busy with starting his new business. Unfortunately, her beau doesn't want to walk down the aisle before he knows for sure that Lauren will change her mind about kids.
12. Nate Ruggles (@Nathan_Ruggles)
Kids are a non-negotiable for Nate, and he's ready to move on from his relationship with Lauren if she follows her gut about not wanting a family.
Nate'sInstagram account features a lot of travel content, and a few old snapshots with Lauren.
The first eight episodes of The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On will be available to stream on Netflix beginning on April 6. |

Where To Follow The Ultimatum Cast On Instagram
They’re all about to put their relationships to the ultimate test.
April 6 marks the premiere of yet another outlandish Netflix dating show: The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On. Similar to USA’s Temptation Island, the show puts four existing couples to the test — but with higher stakes. Each of the couples have entered the experiment because one partner wants to get married and the other isn’t as sure. Over the course of eight weeks, they’ll individually separate and move in with someone from one of the other couples for a three-week “trial marriage,” giving them an idea of what a future with someone else might look like. Then, the original couples will move in together for another three weeks. At the end, they’ll decide if they want to finally commit — or move on with someone else.

Netflix’s new reality dating show The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On is the ultimate relationship pressure test. The six couples featured on the show will be forced to break up with each other temporarily and date other people on the show to test the strength of their love for their original partner.
If you had trouble following that, here’s how Netflix describes the show: “The Ultimatum follows six couples, and in each, one partner gives the other an ultimatum to get married. The couples break up, date the other contestants and undergo a trial marriage with someone else for three weeks. Then, contestants move in with their original partner to confront their issues for another three weeks, all before a possible engagement.”
The Ultimatum comes from the producers behind Love is Blind and features Nick and Vanessa Lachey as hosts. The show premieres on April 6th on Netflix. Here are all six couples, along with their Instagram accounts, if you’d like to get more details prior to watching the show.
Shanique and Randall
Shanique is the one to give Randall the fateful ultimatum. She’s ready for marriage, but Randall is hesitant, given his current debt situation. On Shanique’s decision to get marriage, Randall said, [Shanique] feels like she’s ready for marriage, and I have honestly turned that down more times than not because I know that I’m not, and I know that, honestly, I don’t think she is.”
Rae and Zay
Rae has been dating Zay for over two years and is waiting for a proposal from him. However, Zay feels that this is his first real relationship and isn’t quite ready to make that decision. This is why Rae is giving Zay the ultimatum: marry or move on.
Alexis and Hunter
Alexis and Hunter are at two different points in their two-year relationship. She wants marriage, and he would rather move in together. As you can probably guess, Alexis gives Hunter the ultimatum.
Lauren and Nate
Nate gives Lauren the ultimatum because he hopes it will force Lauren to budge on their biggest issue: kids. He wants children, and she’s not sure if she does. In an interview with the New York Post, Lauren said, “It wasn’t a hard no or a hard yes, it was just something that I felt like I needed to explore a bit more.”
April and Jake
Jake wants to propose to April, but he’s waiting to be more financially independent before getting down on one knee. April is ready now and is hoping the ultimatum will push him into popping the question. Upon hearing April’s ultimatum, Jake tells her, “I’m hoping with this experience I can date around and get better clarity on what you want from another perspective so I can give you everything you need.”
Madlyn and Colby
When Colby saw Madlyn, it was love at first sight. He’s reading for marriage, but she’s still holding out. He hopes that the ultimatum will bring Madlyn closer to him. However, it looks like Madlyn doesn’t share his views on love. She says, “I don’t really believe in there only being one person for everybody… I think it’s natural to wonder what it would be like to be in a different relationship.” |

U.S. District Judge Michael Shipp sentenced Darick Nollett, 32, of the Heislerville section of Maurice River Township, on Tuesday in Trenton, U.S. Attorney Philip Sellinger said.
Nollett pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting the making of a false statement during the purchase of a firearm, Sellinger said in a news release.
In addition to prison, Nollett must undergo three years of supervised release and surrender any guns, ammunition or firearms equipment recovered from his property, Sellinger said.

Darick Nollett, 32, of Heislerville, who was sentenced Tuesday in Trenton federal court, pleaded guilty in November to one count of aiding and abetting the making of a false statement during the purchase of a firearm.
In 2018 and 2019, Nollett “caused other individuals to purchase five firearms for him,” according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey.
These people falsely stated on federal firearm transaction documents that they were the buyers, even though Nollet was the real purchaser, prosecutors alleged.
One of those buyers previously pleaded guilty in the case, according to a spokesman with the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Nollett could not legally purchase firearms because of a 2015 conviction for third-degree endangering-sexual conduct with a child by a non-caretaker, according to court records. He was sentenced to a three-year term of probation in that case.
In 2020, Nollett also ordered what the feds described as “fuel filters” from China that he intended to modify for use as gun silencers.
Authorities recovered more than 30 guns, along with ammunition and firearms accessories when they served a search warrant at his house in May 2020.
Under his plea agreement, Nollett has to surrender all of those items and must serve three years of supervised release once he is freed from prison.

TRENTON, N.J (STL.News) A Cumberland County, New Jersey, man with a prior felony conviction was sentenced today to 24 months in prison for participating in straw purchases to obtain firearms that he was not permitted to purchase, U.S. Attorney Philip R. Sellinger announced.
Darick Nollett, 32, of Heislerville, New Jersey, previously pleaded guilty by videoconference before U.S. District Judge Michael A. Shipp to an information charging him with one count of aiding and abetting the making of a false statement during the purchase of a firearm. Judge Shipp imposed the sentence today in Trenton federal court.
According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court:
Nollett was not legally permitted to purchase firearms because of a 2015 felony conviction. In 2018 and 2019, in order to obtain firearms, Nollett caused other individuals to purchase five firearms for him. These individuals falsely stated on U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives (ATF) Firearm Transaction that they were the actual buyer/transferee of the firearm when, in fact, Nollett was the actual buyer/transferee. In 2020, Nollett ordered “fuel filters” from China that he intended to modify and use as firearms silencers. Law enforcement officers executing a court-authorized search warrant of Nollett’s property in May 2020 recovered more than 30 firearms, as well as ammunition and firearm accessories.
In addition to the prison term, Judge Shipp sentenced Nollett to three years of supervised release and ordered Nollett to forfeit or abandon the firearms, ammunition, and firearm accessories recovered from his property.
U.S. Attorney Sellinger credited special agents of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Homeland Security Investigations, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Jason J. Molina in Newark; special agents of the ATF Newark Field Division, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Jeffrey L. Matthews; postal inspectors of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, Philadelphia Division, under the direction of Inspector in Charge Damon E. Wood; officers of the New Jersey State Police, under the direction of Superintendent Col. Patrick J. Callahan; the Cumberland County Prosecutor’s Office, under the direction of Prosecutor Jennifer Webb-McRae, with the investigation leading to today’s sentencing.

TRENTON — A Cumberland County man has been sentenced to two years in prison for using straw buyers to buy firearms.
Darick Nollett, 32, was accused of using others to buy more than 30 weapons in 2018 and 2019, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for New Jersey.
Due to a felony conviction in 2015, Nollett was barred from buying guns himself, the federal prosecutor's office said.
A May 2020 raid of his Heislerville home also led to the discovery of ammunition and firearms accessories.
Additionally, Nollett ordered devices identified as "fuel filters" from China in 2020 to modify and use as firearms silencers, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.
Local:Preservation of Black burial grounds could uncover hundreds of unmarked graves
In total, Nollett was in possession of an AR-15 style rifle with no serial number and unassembled parts for a similar rifle, 24 long guns and 14 handguns.
He surrendered the weapons as part of a plea agreement in November.
Nollett admitted guilt to a charge of aiding and abetting the making of a false statement during the purchase of a firearm.
After his prison term, Nollett will have three years of supervised release.

Re: “Pressure on the waters,” Front Page, Sunday and “‘Broken’ TCEQ is under state review,” Metro, Sunday:
These two excellent stories described “Friends of Hondo Canyon” as an “environmentalist group.” We cringed. Significant political powers use this description to dismiss our efforts.
So, who are we? A motley crew of engaged, informed and committed Texans: ranchers, fixed-income retirees, landowners, small business owners, visitors, cedar-choppers, tree-huggers, hunters, bird-watchers, paddlers, fishermen, Republicans, Democrats and Independents who came together in 2018 to prevent one pristine stream from being polluted by the discharge of wastewater effluent. Only 22 such stream segments are left.
Recently, more than 1,300 people wrote comments asking the TCEQ to take action to protect these pristine streams. This is not about which small group for which you fly the flag. It is about Texas. It is about all of us. Please join us.

‘Feel good’ group
Re: “Volunteers devoted to S.A.’s mass of stray cats,” Front Page, Sunday:
Thank you for your article about the good work done by the volunteers of the San Antonio Feral Cat Coalition. This group is very highly rated as a nonprofit because they squeeze every penny out of a shoestring budget. If you are on their email list, you receive a monthly report of money spent for spay-neuters, surgeries for sick or injured cats, number of rescues and often a “feel-good” story of a rescue with a happy ending. Their mission statement says it all. Good group!

Duncan Rose, conservation co-chair for Dolores River Anglers, said if pristine Colorado streams are polluted or degraded, the results would be disastrous for native trout species which need clean water to survive, and also for entire communities and industries.
"Obviously, everybody suffers," Rose asserted. "Whether it's from drinking, whether it's from agricultural, whether it's recreational use. But also all of the web of life that's associated with the stream, of which trout are simply a canary in the mine, so to speak."
The Colorado Water Quality Control Commission recently finalized the state's designation of the streams in southwestern Colorado as Outstanding Waters under the Clean Water Act. The designation protects existing high-quality waters from future degradation including pollution from development, mining, oil and gas, and other uses.
Rose noted the move is also a win for local businesses because it reinforces the need for water managers to protect resources critical for the outdoor recreation industry, the region's fastest-growing economic driver.
"Whether it's hunting or biking or trail running, backpacking, camping," Rose outlined. "It's imperative that we keep this quality foremost in the minds of the people who manage this."
The protected streams largely run through public lands, and Rose pointed out the designation does not prohibit multiple uses, such as mining. But he added any operator triggering damage to a stream's water quality would now be obligated to keep those waters clean.
"If mining were to occur, there would have to be best-practice engineering protection designs put in place that would prevent any degradation to the water quality of that stream," Rose explained.

Thank you for your article about the good work done by the volunteers of the San Antonio Feral Cat Coalition. This group is very highly rated as a nonprofit because they squeeze every penny out of a shoestring budget. If you are on their email list, you receive a monthly report of money spent for spay-neuters, surgeries for sick or injured cats, number of rescues and often a “feel-good” story of a rescue with a happy ending. Their mission statement says it all. Good group!

I’ll take it one step further. It’s the single most vital life-giving artery flowing through the body of this community. This is a golden opportunity to unite behind a common cause: preserving this natural treasure so that our children will be blessed to enjoy it as we have.
It is one of the great curiosities that well-intentioned individuals end up collectively shooting themselves and each other in the foot. There are no real villains in this story, only good people whose cumulative actions threaten the public good. No single person has set out to threaten our greatest treasure, but the aggregate effect of many small actions has brought us to this critical point.
We need a new paradigm — a set of goggles with which to see the world around us — and it begins with a simple acknowledgement that plentiful clean water is the greatest asset we have. Open your eyes: future wars will be fought over clean water and not dirty oil. What we decide today will have lasting consequences, effects felt for generations. If we choose to do nothing, a choice has still been made, a tacit admission that we’re willing to bequeath to our children a natural treasure that we have ruined.
People are the problem. The solution involves controlling their actions. The water belongs to us all, though much of the land along the river is owned privately, and some of it is controlled by organizations like the Saco Valley Land Trust. The river is threatened by human activity close to and along the banks of the river, and also by overuse on the water itself. If nothing is done, and if the past is any guide to the future, the principal threats to the river — development, overuse, and runoff — will multiply, and foreclose our chances of saving this resource for posterity.
Look around: The valley is blowing up, and everyone wants to be on the water. But if everyone has a house on the river, it will not only ruin the views but also the public resource. If all of the river frontage that could theoretically be developed was actually developed, the consequences would be devastating. Healthy waterways depend on natural buffer zones that filter and protect it from harmful pollutants that enter through runoff during major rain events. I spent years in Pennsylvania and Maryland. All of their rivers are totally nasty because of farm, residential and industrial runoff, and also insane amounts of trash.
Landowners have a special responsibility to protect the shores of the Saco, and I encourage them to consider conservation easement, a proud legacy. Town planners have a special responsibility to limit development close to the river — a building moratorium — protect vital flood plains, and build ecologically sound culverts. The public has a special responsibility to support conservation.
When plans are drafted and decisions made, the central question is this: because the Saco River watershed is our single most vital public resource, how will it be affected? It is very discouraging that a car wash is being built a stone’s throw away from the Saco in Conway. And how is it possible that an asinine “Jelly Stone” chlorine water park is being considered in Glen?
Forget about Diana’s Bath, we need to talk about traffic on the Saco. Back in college, I used to sling boats for Saco Valley Canoe. The river was a zoo then. It’s far worse now. Today it’s not just canoes, but tubes — hundreds of them. It’s a festival of drunken idiocy. I’ve seen it, and watched the trash floating down the river as stumbling clowns capsize, or just leave the party’s remnants on the beach.
Commercial outfits are responsible for putting hundreds of yahoos on the river with cigarettes, alcohol, and zero concept of “carry in, carry out” principles. Businesses must be required to purchase an annual license that limits access, a common practice out west. Revenue from these licenses will be used to police, clean, and build infrastructure on the river, because right now people are just defecating on the sand.
The good news is that folks smarter than I have been working on solutions, and I will highlight these various initiatives, spearheaded by groups like the Upper Saco Valley Land Trust and the Saco Headwaters Alliance. This season, we need to implement a comprehensive river management program involving landowners, town governments, non-profit organizations, businesses, and the general public. The time for planning and talking is over. The moment for serious action is upon us. Our children deserve a clean river. Let us not callously betray them. |

Re: “Pressure on the waters,” Front Page, Sunday and “‘Broken’ TCEQ is under state review,” Metro, Sunday:
These two excellent stories described “Friends of Hondo Canyon” as an “environmentalist group.” We cringed. Significant political powers use this description to dismiss our efforts.
So, who are we? A motley crew of engaged, informed and committed Texans: ranchers, fixed-income retirees, landowners, small business owners, visitors, cedar-choppers, tree-huggers, hunters, bird-watchers, paddlers, fishermen, Republicans, Democrats and Independents who came together in 2018 to prevent one pristine stream from being polluted by the discharge of wastewater effluent. Only 22 such stream segments are left.
Recently, more than 1,300 people wrote comments asking the TCEQ to take action to protect these pristine streams. This is not about which small group for which you fly the flag. It is about Texas. It is about all of us. Please join us.

https://www.1011now.com/2022/04/06/bobby-rydell-60s-teen-idol-bye-bye-birdie-star-dies/ | Bobby Rydell, 60s teen idol and ‘Bye Bye Birdie’ star, dies
(AP) - Bobby Rydell, a pompadoured heartthrob of early rock ‘n roll who was a star of radio, television and the movie musical “Bye Bye Birdie,” died Tuesday.
Rydell died of complications from pneumonia at a hospital in a suburb of his hometown of Philadelphia, according to a statement posted by his marketing and event coordinator Maria Novey.
Rydell, who credited a 2012 kidney and liver transplant with extending his life, was 79.
Along with James Darren, Fabian and Frankie Avalon, Rydell was among a wave of wholesome teen idols who emerged after Elvis Presley and before the rise of the Beatles.
Between 1959 and 1964, he had nearly three dozen Top 40 singles including “Wild One,” “Volare,” “Wildwood Days,” “The Cha-Cha-Cha” and “Forget Him,” a song of consolation for a bereft girl that helped inspire the Beatles’ classic “She Loves You.”
He had recurring roles on “The Red Skelton Show” and other television programs, and 1963′s “Bye Bye Birdie” was rewritten to give Rydell a major part as the boyfriend of Ann-Margret. He didn’t want to move to Hollywood, however, and “Birdie” became his only significant movie role — though the high school in the hit ‘70s musical “Grease” was named for him.
Rydell never strayed far from his Philadelphia roots, living in the area for most of his life. The block of 11th Street where he grew up was christened Bobby Rydell Boulevard by his hometown in 1995.
“I never thought of myself as a celebrity,” he told The Philadelphia Inquirer in 2003. “I was just a guy who went out there and worked.”
He was born Robert Ridarelli in a South Philadelphia neighborhood that would also produce teen idols Darren, Fabian and Avalon. They knew each other as children — Rydell played drums with Avalon on trumpet in a group called Rocco and the Saints.
Before he graced the covers of teen magazines and movie screens, Rydell made his bones as a youngster in Philadelphia clubs.
He made his performance debut as a 7-year-old drummer, not a singer. His first drum kit was a gift from his father, Al Ridarelli, who inspired his son’s choice of instrument by taking him to see Gene Krupa perform.
At age 9, he debuted on an amateur television show and became its regular drummer for three years.
Rydell got his big break in 1959 on “American Bandstand,” which originally was broadcast from Philadelphia. His first hit, “Kissing Time,” quickly followed, and the skinny 17-year-old with a pompadour haircut rocketed to stardom. Rydell and his fellow Philadelphia performers were ideal for “Bandstand” host Dick Clark, who sought to make rock n’ roll palatable to young and old. He also made live appearances nationwide on a tour organized by Clark.
Changing musical tastes ushered in by the Beatles and the rest of the British Invasion defused the hit-making careers of Rydell and his compatriots, and he continued performing and recording music with limited success in the late 1960s and 1970s. But in 1985, he joined his old friends Avalon and Fabian for what they thought would be a few appearances. They dubbed themselves “The Golden Boys of Bandstand,” and the shows were so successful that the trio ended up touring for three years and performing 300 shows nationwide.
“We weren’t out to prove anything. We just said to ourselves, ‘Here are three Italian kids from South Philadelphia, born and raised within two blocks of each other. Let’s go out there and have fun,’” Rydell told The Atlantic City Weekly in 2006. “That hasn’t changed. I think people see that attitude coming from the stage. It’s a fun show to watch — that’s what’s made it so successful. We have a great time doing it.”
Rydell’s childhood sweetheart and first wife, Camille, died in 2003.
He is survived by his second wife, Linda Hoffman, whom he married in 2009, along with son Robert Ridarelli, daughter Jennifer Dulin, and five grandchildren.

Let’s go out there and have fun,’” Rydell told The Atlantic City Weekly in 2006. “That hasn’t changed. I think people see that attitude coming from the stage. It’s a fun show to watch — that’s what’s made it so successful. We have a great time doing it.”
Rydell’s childhood sweetheart and first wife, Camille, died in 2003.
He is survived by his second wife, Linda Hoffman, whom he married in 2009, along with son Robert Ridarelli, daughter Jennifer Dulin, and five grandchildren.

(AP) - Bobby Rydell, a pompadoured heartthrob of early rock ‘n roll who was a star of radio, television and the movie musical “Bye Bye Birdie,” died Tuesday.
Rydell died of complications from pneumonia at a hospital in a suburb of his hometown of Philadelphia, according to a statement posted by his marketing and event coordinator Maria Novey.
Rydell, who credited a 2012 kidney and liver transplant with extending his life, was 79.
Along with James Darren, Fabian and Frankie Avalon, Rydell was among a wave of wholesome teen idols who emerged after Elvis Presley and before the rise of the Beatles.
Between 1959 and 1964, he had nearly three dozen Top 40 singles including “Wild One,” “Volare,” “Wildwood Days,” “The Cha-Cha-Cha” and “Forget Him,” a song of consolation for a bereft girl that helped inspire the Beatles’ classic “She Loves You.”
He had recurring roles on “The Red Skelton Show” and other television programs, and 1963′s “Bye Bye Birdie” was rewritten to give Rydell a major part as the boyfriend of Ann-Margret. He didn’t want to move to Hollywood, however, and “Birdie” became his only significant movie role — though the high school in the hit ‘70s musical “Grease” was named for him.
Rydell never strayed far from his Philadelphia roots, living in the area for most of his life. The block of 11th Street where he grew up was christened Bobby Rydell Boulevard by his hometown in 1995.
“I never thought of myself as a celebrity,” he told The Philadelphia Inquirer in 2003. “I was just a guy who went out there and worked.”
He was born Robert Ridarelli in a South Philadelphia neighborhood that would also produce teen idols Darren, Fabian and Avalon. They knew each other as children — Rydell played drums with Avalon on trumpet in a group called Rocco and the Saints.
Before he graced the covers of teen magazines and movie screens, Rydell made his bones as a youngster in Philadelphia clubs.
He made his performance debut as a 7-year-old drummer, not a singer. His first drum kit was a gift from his father, Al Ridarelli, who inspired his son’s choice of instrument by taking him to see Gene Krupa perform.
At age 9, he debuted on an amateur television show and became its regular drummer for three years.
Rydell got his big break in 1959 on “American Bandstand,” which originally was broadcast from Philadelphia. His first hit, “Kissing Time,” quickly followed, and the skinny 17-year-old with a pompadour haircut rocketed to stardom. Rydell and his fellow Philadelphia performers were ideal for “Bandstand” host Dick Clark, who sought to make rock n’ roll palatable to young and old. He also made live appearances nationwide on a tour organized by Clark.
Changing musical tastes ushered in by the Beatles and the rest of the British Invasion defused the hit-making careers of Rydell and his compatriots, and he continued performing and recording music with limited success in the late 1960s and 1970s. But in 1985, he joined his old friends Avalon and Fabian for what they thought would be a few appearances. They dubbed themselves “The Golden Boys of Bandstand,” and the shows were so successful that the trio ended up touring for three years and performing 300 shows nationwide.
“We weren’t out to prove anything. We just said to ourselves, ‘Here are three Italian kids from South Philadelphia, born and raised within two blocks of each other.

https://www.mrt.com/opinion/article/MISD-deserves-kudos-with-stipend-expected-pay-17059374.php | It is always nice to hear that Midland ISD is giving more to those working in the school district. Every employee will receive a $2,000 stipend. That’s something most people in Midland can appreciate.
The stipends are a $6 million gesture from the school board to its employees. The stipend is possible because of a 2021-22 budget surplus and through the state’s recent action to adjust in-person attendance funding for this school year. The stipend will be paid at the end of May, according to the district.
It is exciting that the district continues to give to its staff. Superintendent Angelica Ramsey also told the Reporter-Telegram on Monday that a budget proposal for the 2022-23 also includes another salary hike for teachers and support staff.
In the proposal, starting teacher pay would increase to $58,500. Support staff pay would start at $13.50 an hour.
It is important to note that Ramsey continues the work by former Superintendents Ryder Warren and Orlando Riddick in boosting the salaries of teachers and support staff.
Since 2010, the starting salary for an entry level teacher has increased from around $40,050 to $57,500 during the 2021-22 school year. That is an increase of 43.57 percent. And when the starting pay increases, the pay for every teacher increases
Increasing the minimum support staff pay to $13.50 would be a considerable accomplishment for a district that was paying a minimum level of $10 an hour in 2020.
This financial boost for teachers and staff is a win for education in Midland. Higher salaries increase the chances Midland ISD staff will have more candidates for positions, and that’s a good thing.
The hope here is Midland ISD beats Ector County ISD to become the first West Texas school district to pay starting teachers $60,000 a year. That would be an accomplishment that speaks volumes about how much our community values its teachers. It also would be strong message to teachers looking to start their career that Midland is serious about an academic turnaround. Midland already has a higher average teaching salary when compared to other districts around the region. The list is Midland ISD ($62,208), ECISD ($59,080), Greenwood ISD ($57,091), Abilene ISD ($53,761), Lubbock ISD ($51,764) and San Angelo ISD ($50,186).
The point here is Midland needs to be able to recruit the best teachers possible to fulfill the mission of preparing students for college and career, and a potential $58,500 starting salary would not only likely continue to be the highest in West Texas but would be competitive around the state.
Consider Midland’s average apartment rent is more than $1,000 below the average around the state, according to ApartmentList.com, and that compensation package looks that much more attractive.
There are some who will say MISD is still lagging, and yes, the Midland ISD board will not make every single person happy. However, the metrics showed Midland ISD has made great strides – not only this week but over the past 12 years.
Midland ISD deserves credit here for showing teachers the respect they deserve. | 0 | 43,566 | 0.352656 | https://www.mrt.com/news/education/article/MISD-employees-to-receive-2K-stipend-17057547.php | 2022-04-05 02:11:57+00:00 | After its first of three budget workshops Monday evening, the Midland ISD board of trustees approved a budget amendment to pay all district employees a one-time appreciation stipend of up to $2,000.
The board recognizes the unique challenges educators have experienced this year, according to a press released after the workshop.
"The past few school years have been tough for everyone, and this year has been no exception," said board President Bryan Murry in the news release. "MISD is nothing without its people, and it's fitting to use these excess funds as a way to show appreciation for our district employees who have worked so hard to keep the district running. On behalf of the board, we cannot thank them enough for what they do."
The stipend is possible because of a 2021-22 budget surplus and through the state's recent action to adjust in-person attendance funding for this school year. The stipend will be paid at the end of May.
Midland ISD leaders also had first discussions about the 2022-23 budget, which Angelica Ramsey said could include salary increase. Ramsey told the Reporter-Telegram on Monday that a plan is to move the starting teacher pay to $58,500 and support staff to $13.50 an hour.
Those pay increases are not approved yet, but should the board approve the increase it would mark another increase for teachers. Midland ISD board members have been pushing up the salaries for teachers since Ryder Warren was superintendent at the district. Since 2010, the starting salary for an entry level teacher has increased from around $40,050 to $57,500 during the 2021-22 school year.
Increasing the minimum support staff pay to $13.50 would be a considerable accomplishment for a district that was paying a minimum level of $10 an hour in 2020. |
https://www.mrt.com/opinion/article/MISD-deserves-kudos-with-stipend-expected-pay-17059374.php | It is always nice to hear that Midland ISD is giving more to those working in the school district. Every employee will receive a $2,000 stipend. That’s something most people in Midland can appreciate.
The stipends are a $6 million gesture from the school board to its employees. The stipend is possible because of a 2021-22 budget surplus and through the state’s recent action to adjust in-person attendance funding for this school year. The stipend will be paid at the end of May, according to the district.
It is exciting that the district continues to give to its staff. Superintendent Angelica Ramsey also told the Reporter-Telegram on Monday that a budget proposal for the 2022-23 also includes another salary hike for teachers and support staff.
In the proposal, starting teacher pay would increase to $58,500. Support staff pay would start at $13.50 an hour.
It is important to note that Ramsey continues the work by former Superintendents Ryder Warren and Orlando Riddick in boosting the salaries of teachers and support staff.
Since 2010, the starting salary for an entry level teacher has increased from around $40,050 to $57,500 during the 2021-22 school year. That is an increase of 43.57 percent. And when the starting pay increases, the pay for every teacher increases
Increasing the minimum support staff pay to $13.50 would be a considerable accomplishment for a district that was paying a minimum level of $10 an hour in 2020.
This financial boost for teachers and staff is a win for education in Midland. Higher salaries increase the chances Midland ISD staff will have more candidates for positions, and that’s a good thing.
The hope here is Midland ISD beats Ector County ISD to become the first West Texas school district to pay starting teachers $60,000 a year. That would be an accomplishment that speaks volumes about how much our community values its teachers. It also would be strong message to teachers looking to start their career that Midland is serious about an academic turnaround.

According to a recent news release, last year’s starting pay for teachers was $57,500 and for this upcoming school year, first-year teachers will have a salary of $58,500.
The pay increase was a part of the district’s 2022-2023 Compensation Manual, which according to a recent news release was approved at a budget workshop earlier this month.
Since the 2019-2020 school year, starting teacher pay has increased by nearly 10%. Midland ISD Board of Trustees says that the raise reflects the district’s commitment to supporting teachers.
“MISD will continue to offer the highest teacher pay package in West Texas,” said Woodrow Bailey, Chief of Human Capital Management.
“Providing competitive compensation is critical as we work tirelessly to recruit and retain the top teaching talent for our students.”
The MISD Board is also expected to approve $1,000 annual incentive bonuses for all employees as included in the 2022-2023 budget proposal. The district also offers a 100% employer-funded health insurance plan, securing the district’s total compensation package.
In the news release, support staff will increase the minimum hourly rate to $13.50 per hour. As a part of the Compensation Manual, all staff will receive a 2% of midpoint raise.
“In the face of rising costs for all families, this board understands the importance of responsibly supporting the hard-working staff of Midland ISD,” said School Board President Bryan Murry.
“From teaching our students to maintaining our buildings, each of them plays a critical role in the success of our district.” |

MISD said in a news release that the District is committed to supporting teachers by increasing all teacher salaries across the board. Starting teacher pay has increased nearly 10% since the 2019-20 school year, when starting teacher pay increased to $53,500.
“MISD will continue to offer the highest teacher pay package in West Texas,” said Woodrow Bailey, Chief of Human Capital Management. “Providing competitive compensation is critical as we work tirelessly to recruit and retain the top teaching talent for our students.”
Included in the 2022-23 budget proposal, the MISD Board is also expected to approve a $1,000 annual incentive bonus for all employees.

https://www.3newsnow.com/news/national/mexico-remains-neutral-but-some-feel-the-countrys-government-is-siding-with-russia-in-war | At the Russian embassy in Mexico City, Mexicans are rallying in support of Ukraine and urging their government to do the same, shouting, "Glory for Ukraine!" and "No to the invasion!"
Despite having enormous commercial ties to the U.S., Mexico is not aligning itself with the West over the war in Ukraine.
Since Russia's invasion, Mexican leaders have emphasized the country's long-held neutrality on foreign affairs.
"We want to maintain good relations with all the governments of the world," Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said.
But Mexico's refusal to sanction Russia and send aid to Ukraine has offended not only Ukraine but also the U.S. Mexico's largest trading partner by far.
"The president is not very fond of the United States to start with, but also when President Lopez Obrador contracted COVID-19, President Putin offered to send his medical team to Mexico City to attend to the president, so there's a degree of gratitude there," said Pamela Starr, director of the U.S.-Mexico network at the University of Southern California.
A month after Russian troops invaded Ukraine, lawmakers from Mexico's leftist ruling party created a Mexico-Russia friendship committee and invited the Russian ambassador to the event.
"They're very anti-American, and as such, they believe that the enemy of my enemy is my friend," said Mariana Campero, host of Mexico Matters podcast from the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
The move prompted a strong rebuke from the U.S. ambassador to Mexico who noted that during World War II, the U.S. and Mexico were united against Hitler.
But resentment of American interventionism is long-standing in Mexico and Latin America, a sentiment that Donald Trump amplified with his aggressive policies and insults towards the region.
"This anti-American sentiment was, you know, put back sort of to the forefront when President Trump started to criticize Mexicans and called them rapists or criminals," Campero said.
At the same time, Russia and China have been gaining influence in Latin America through investment, propaganda and vaccine diplomacy. They would have much rather have had Moderna or Pfizer or AstraZeneca, which are better vaccines, but we didn't get the vaccines for them," said Cécile Shea, a senior fellow at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs. "They had to go take what they could get, and the Chinese and the Russians came through with them."
The U.S. also suspects that Mexico harbors a large number of Russian spies, a point recently made by a top U.S. military official. "The largest portion of GRU members in the world is in Mexico right now," said General Glen VanHerck, commander of the U.S. Northern Command. "Those are Russian intelligence personnel."
The statement is an apparent reference to Russia's huge embassy in Mexico City.
"Mexico has very little economic ties with Russia, very little political interaction, so to have an embassy in Mexico that's about 30% larger than their embassy in Brazil is suggestive," Starr said.
Internationally, Mexico has been more critical of Russia, voting, for example, in favor of a UN resolution condemning the invasion.
But domestically, analysts worry about the way Mexican leaders are cozying up to Russia. Together with the Russian propaganda machine, I think it can explode an already anti-Americanism that is still present in the region and could be very dangerous," Campero said.

"The largest portion of GRU members in the world is in Mexico right now," said General Glen VanHerck, commander of the U.S. Northern Command. "Those are Russian intelligence personnel."
The statement is an apparent reference to Russia's huge embassy in Mexico City.
"Mexico has very little economic ties with Russia, very little political interaction, so to have an embassy in Mexico that's about 30% larger than their embassy in Brazil is suggestive," Starr said.
Internationally, Mexico has been more critical of Russia, voting, for example, in favor of a UN resolution condemning the invasion.
But domestically, analysts worry about the way Mexican leaders are cozying up to Russia. Together with the Russian propaganda machine, I think it can explode an already anti-Americanism that is still present in the region and could be very dangerous," Campero said.

What to know before you buy Wayfair throw pillows
How to utilize throw pillows
Throw pillows may be small, but they can significantly contribute to the design of a space. Some tips and tricks include:
- Use throw pillows of a certain color to highlight but not outshine the dominant color in the room.
- Don’t be afraid to mix and match colors and designs. For example, if designing a living room, try putting a different style throw pillow on each piece of furniture. However, you don’t want to go too far, so try to mix in neutral colors to balance out the visual scheme.
- You can either mix and match shapes and sizes to play with proportion or go for a more symmetrical look.
- Throw pillows don’t need to make a statement. You can use pillows with neutral colors to help create an understated or calming environment.
Size and shape
Most standard throw pillows are either 18 by 18 inches or 20 by 20 inches, but Wayfair offers various size combinations, ranging from 14 to 24 inches.
You can find square, rectangular and round pillows and several novelty shapes that include hearts, shells, flowers and various animals.
Types of throw pillows
The typical throw pillow is square, but Wayfair also sells bigger Euro throw pillows designed to decorate beds, circular bolster pillows, rectangular lumbar pillows, floor pillows and various back and armrests.

Wayfair throw pillows FAQ
Should my throw pillows all be the same size?
A. Throw pillows give you the chance to show your personality while adding color and texture to any space, so you can mix and match shapes and sizes as you see fit. If you do purchase pillows of different sizes, it’s best to stage the largest pillows in the back of the couch or bed and put the smaller pillows in the front. This is ideal for both design purposes and optimal comfort.
How do I clean a throw pillow?
A. The materials and fabrics used to create throw pillows can vary, so you always want to review the manufacturer’s recommended cleaning instructions. Always spot test the fabric before using any chemical product to protect the integrity of the pillow. If your pillow has details and embellishments, it is probably best to have it dry cleaned. You want to avoid water when cleaning pillows made from wool, silk, leather or suede.

Wayfair throw pillows FAQ
Should my throw pillows all be the same size?
A. Throw pillows give you the chance to show your personality while adding color and texture to any space, so you can mix and match shapes and sizes as you see fit. If you do purchase pillows of different sizes, it’s best to stage the largest pillows in the back of the couch or bed and put the smaller pillows in the front. This is ideal for both design purposes and optimal comfort.
How do I clean a throw pillow?
A. The materials and fabrics used to create throw pillows can vary, so you always want to review the manufacturer’s recommended cleaning instructions. Always spot test the fabric before using any chemical product to protect the integrity of the pillow. If your pillow has details and embellishments, it is probably best to have it dry cleaned. You want to avoid water when cleaning pillows made from wool, silk, leather or suede.

https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/man-utd-news-ralf-rangnick-26643710 | Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick has backed the club to sign RB Leipzig star Konrad Laimer to solve their problems in midfield.
The Old Trafford outfit have struggled for consistency on the pitch this season and face a summer of upheaval as they aim to appoint a new manager and overhaul their playing squad to help them get back to the top of English football. Rangnick is expected to take up a consultancy role at the club at the end of the season and could have a say on the rebuilding process, and is advocating for the Red Devils to bring in Laimer as a replacement for Paul Pogba.
It comes as star forward Cristiano Ronaldo has sent a message to fans after recovering from illness. And Anthony Martial has found his struggles have very much continued following his loan move to Sevilla.
Here are Mirror Football's latest Manchester United headlines.
Have Your Say!Would Konrad Laimer be a good signing for Manchester United this summer?Let us know here.
Martial woes continue
Anthony Martial's loan move to Sevilla does not appear to have improved the Manchester United forward's fortunes.
The Frenchman joined the Spanish outfit on loan until the end of the season during the January transfer window, but he's failed to score and only provided one assist in six LaLiga appearances so far. And reports suggest things have gone from "bad to worse" for the attacker since leaving Old Trafford.
And it appears Sevilla may not opt to try and sign him permanently this summer – leaving his future even more uncertain.
Ronaldo sends fans message
Cristiano Ronaldo has sent a message to Manchester United fans after returning to training following a bout of illness.
The Portuguese superstar missed Saturday's 1-1 draw with Leicester City but returned to training this week. The striker was handed the club's player of the month of the month award and sent an encouraging message to fans as United battle to qualify for next season's Champions League.
Ronaldo has vowed to "do my best like I do all the time" beween now and the end of the season to help United finish strongly in the Premier League.
Rangnick backs Laimer move
Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick is advocating for the club to bring in RB Leipzig midfielder Konrad Laimer as a replacement for Paul Pogba.
France international Pogba looks increasingly likely to leave the Old Trafford club this summer when his contract expires meaning United will need to find a replacement for him. And Rangnick is said to be a big fan of Laimer from their time in Leipzig together and is said to have recommended the club pursue signing him.

The Red Devils are on the verge of appointing a new manager following the interviews of Erik ten Hag, Mauricio Pochettino and Luis Enrique. Rangnick will take on a consultancy role in the summer and there have been conflicting reports on whether he is involved in the process of appointing his successor.
But he will have a say on the rebuild of the squad having been interim boss for the second half of the season. And Bild claims that United have targeted Austria international Laimer as Rangnick looks to reunite with his former player at Old Trafford.
Manchester Evening News also report that signing a midfielder is a priority in the summer as Paul Pogba looks set to leave as a free agent. Laimer, who is valued at £23million on Transfermarkt, joined Leipzig from Red Bull Salzburg in 2017 when Rangnick was their sporting director and has been mightily impressive in the Bundesliga.
Rangnick has given his seal of approval for United to pursue a deal, but they will have stiff competition from other Premier League clubs. Laimer is entering the final year of his contract as Leipzig plan to open talks with him over an extension once the current campaign is over.
Laimer would be an ideal replacement for Pogba who looks destined to leave Old Trafford in the summer. Paris Saint-Germain are one of the clubs interested in acquiring the Frenchman and have made an offer to the 29-year-old, according to the MEN.
Should Manchester United sign Konrad Laimer in the summer? Have your say in the comments below
Pogba would prefer a return to Juventus, however, or Real Madrid, but their interest has seemingly cooled. Pogba said last week he had not made a decision on his future. "Nothing is decided on my future, there is nothing done," he told Telefoot. "I can decide tomorrow, as I can decide during the transfer window. I want to come back, finish the season well.
"The season is not over yet, but almost because we don't have any more titles to play for. I want to win titles, to play for something and this year and the last few years we haven't won a title. It's sad."
It's claimed dressing room sources say Pogba is effectively 'gone' with two months left of his contract. The club have been planning for his expected departure for most of the season as contract talks stalled.

RB Leipzig's Konrad Laimer will have an absolute advocate in Rangnick at #mufc. He could be a topic of conversation for United in the next transfer window #mulive [@bild, @Sport_Witness]
— utdreport (@utdreport) April 5, 2022
United have been lacking in the midfield department for a while now but have failed to address the situation in multiple transfer windows.
Even last summer, United opted to break the bank on Cristiano Ronaldo rather than improving a glaring weakness in the team.
The club are said to be undergoing a thorough process for the appointment of a new manager.
Erik ten Hag and Mauricio Pochettino are the two favourites for the job, with the former being the fans’ preferred option.
In either case, United need a couple of midfield signings to strengthen that area of the pitch.
Laimer would be an interesting pick.
The Austrian is a pressing machine and would be an instant upgrade on Fred.
Laimer excelled during Rangnick’s tenure at Leipzig.
He thrived in the explosive 4-1-2-1-2 diamond, acting as a destroyer in midfield.
He is also good on the ball and sometimes drops into the centre back position to dictate play from deep.
Rangnick knows the player well and is open to bringing him to Old Trafford.
The 24 year old in into his final year at Leipzig, hence United could get him at a bargain price. |

ROSWELL, N.M – A jury Tuesday heard opening statements, as well as testimony from the first witnesses in what is expected to be a four-day-long murder trial.
The trial of 31-year–old Luis Jimenez got underway in U.S. District Court in Chaves County. Jimenez is charged with first degree murder in the December 2012 death of Saul Sanchez, 39, He also faces a separate count of aggravated burglary related to the incident.
Jimenez is accused of shooting and killing Sanchez at a 1500 block of West Third Street residence in Roswell. At the time, Sanchez, along with his wife and two daughters, were staying at the home of a friend who was out of town.
According to the prosecution, Jimenez, and another man Joseph Barnhill allegedly gained entry to the house by breaking a window, with the intent of committing a burglary.
“You are going to hear that these individuals came together that day. And they were Luis Jimenez and Joseph Barnhill,” Dianna Luce, district attorney for New Mexico’s Fifth Judicial District, said in opening arguments by the state.
“They went there to burglarize the house. They got there in Luis Jimenez’s car. They both went into the house, with the intent of committing the burglary and they were both armed when they went in,” Luce added.
When Sanchez and his family returned to the house after attending a funeral that day, they discovered that the place was ransacked.
Sanchez then allegedly encountered Jimenez. That is when, according to the prosecution, Jimenez shot Sanchez in the face. He and Barnhill then fled the scene before police arrived.
In 2018, Jimenez and Barnhill were both charged with murder and aggravated burglary. The murder charge against Barnhill was dropped in 2020 as part of a plea agreement in which Barnhill pled guilty to the burglary charge.
The prosecution gave a preview of its case against Jimenez. Luce mentioned surveillance video at a local jewelry store, where Jimenez reportedly went to twice on the day of the burglary, including once where he sold a necklace and bracelet that was allegedly stolen from the home during the burglary.
Other pieces of evidence included a flash light allegedly found on the hallway floor of the Third Street home the prosecution says had Jimenez’s DNA on it.
Luce added that security camera footage from near the residence where the shooting happened showed a Toyota Corolla, similar to one owned by Jimenez’s wife and that Jimenez drove, was at the scene of the crime that December day.
When police searched Jimenez’s residence, they found .22 caliber ammunition, including a spent shell casing. Though the gun with which Sanchez was shot was never found, Luce said, investigators determined the spent casing found in Jimenez’s home was fired from the same gun as another spent casing that was found next to Sanchez’s body.
The defense declined to give an opening argument.
In all, the prosecution is expected to call 18 witnesses to the stand, they will include Sanchez’s wife and two daughters; and Barnhill, now 34 years old.
Barnhill is expected to testify that as they fled the scene, Jimenez admitted to having shot Sanchez.

ROSWELL, N.M- On the second day of the murder trial of Luis Jimenez, jurors heard from additional witnesses, including the man who broke into the house with Jimenez just before the shooting allegedly happened.
Joseph Barnhill, 34, testified that on Dec. 11, 2012, he and Jimenez broke into the 1500 block of West Third Street residence, where 39-year-old Saul Sanchez was shot and killed.
Prosecutors allege Jimenez shot Sanchez when he was confronted during the burglary. Barnhill told jurors, Jimenez admitted to shooting and killing someone just before they drove away from the house.
“He just tells me he did something, that he hurt somebody, killed somebody, he thinks,” Barnhill said.
He reacted with disbelief.
“And I didn’t actually believe it until saw it on the news the next morning,” Barnhill added. He maintained that he did not shoot anyone that day in the house, and that he did not have a gun on his person that day.
In his testimony, Barnhill said Jimenez was driving around with him that day, when they discussed committing a burglary.
“In our minds, we were trying to get stuff, to sell, something like that,” he said.
Barnhill testified they soon ended up on Third Street when they arrived the house. He said that he remembered a friend of his had lived at the house several years before and wanted to stop and see if he still lived there.
Jimenez then stopped the car, and Barnhill said he got out and knocked on the door. When nobody answered, Barnhill said he and Jimenez parked in an alley behind the house. They then broke a window and entered the house through the back.
Barnhill said once they were inside, he thought he heard a car coming, and attempted to alert Jimenez who was in another room.
He then took a few items from the house, exited the house through the back and went to the car. Jimenez then joined him a few moments later in the car and they drove away.
After that, the two men then went to a jewelry store, where Barnhill said Jimenez got $30 for some jewelry he had stolen from the house. He added that Jimenez then dropped him off a few blocks from the East Jefferson Street house where Barnhill lived.
The defense during cross examination pointed out some of the inconstancies in Barnhill’s testimony and the various accounts he gave to authorities about what happened.
Melissa Sawyers, Jimenez’s attorney, said that though Barnhill said they had initially gone to the house because of a friend of Barnhill’s, she said that when he was later questioned by an FBI agent about the shooting and the burglary he said they chose that house because, a relative of his lived nearby, and that if police came while they were in the house, he could leave and hide at a relative’s house.
He also admitted under questioning by Sawyers that he had been doing methamphetamine at Jimenez’s house before the burglary.
Additional witnesses are expected to testify Thursday.

ROSWELL, N.M- It was a day of high emotion at the Chaves County Court House Friday, when a man was sentenced in the nearly 10-year-old deadly shooting of a husband and father.
“For the crime of first-degree murder of Saul Sanchez, you are sentenced to life imprisonment, with the possibility of parole after 30 years,” Judge James Hudson of New Mexico 5th Judicial District Court said in handing down the sentence, an announcement that was accompanied by emotional cries of the victim’s family members who were present.
Luis Jimenez received the sentence after being convicted of first-degree murder and aggravated burglary following a three-day jury trial earlier this month.
The charges stem from the Dec. 11, 2012 deadly shooting of 39-year-old Saul Sanchez.
Sanchez was shot and killed at a West Third Street home in Roswell, where Sanchez was staying with his wife and two daughters while attending a local funeral.
Prosecutors say Jimenez was burglarizing the house with another man, Joseph Barnhill. When Sanchez encountered Jimenez inside the home, prosecutors say Jimenez shot and killed him.
“This man decided to rob the house for a few trinkets and shot and killed my little brother. Unbelievable,” Israel Sanchez, the victim’s brother told the court, minutes before the sentence was handed down.
At the hearing Friday, loved ones who fought back tears, carried framed portraits of Saul Sanchez.
“I would like the court to see my little brother that is no longer with us,” Israel Sanchez said.
The Sanchez family used the hearing to address the court to honor a man, who they said had a passion for golf and was a dedicated family man. They also requested that Jimenez receive the maximum possible sentence.
“Luis has no idea how he has affected us, not only friends and family, but the community at large,” said Sonya Garcia, Sanchez’s sister.
Jimenez’s wife and mother also spoke to the court before sentencing, giving a starkly different account of the man convicted of murder.
“I know the charges he is facing are very serious, but that does not portray the kind of person he is inside, “said Esther Jimenez, his wife.
Instead, she described Jimenez as a man who was generous and worked hard to support his family.
“He was extremely giving, a loving husband and a good provider, and a good father,” she said.
After the hearing, Melissa Sawyers, Jimenez’s attorney, said they plan to appeal the conviction.
Barnhill, who testified against Jimenez at trial as part of a change of plea agreement, is scheduled to be sentenced Monday on one count of aggravated burglary related to the shooting.

When police searched Jimenez’s residence, they found .22 caliber ammunition, including a spent shell casing. Though the gun with which Sanchez was shot was never found, Luce said, investigators determined the spent casing found in Jimenez’s home was fired from the same gun as another spent casing that was found next to Sanchez’s body.
The defense declined to give an opening argument.
In all, the prosecution is expected to call 18 witnesses to the stand, they will include Sanchez’s wife and two daughters; and Barnhill, now 34 years old.
Barnhill is expected to testify that as they fled the scene, Jimenez admitted to having shot Sanchez.

Jul. 6—Federal authorities arrested an 18-year-old Tuesday morning who allegedly fatally shot a man in May and dumped him in an East Central neighborhood.
Deputy U.S. Marshal Jimmie Glisson said around 10:30 a.m. the agency took Adrian Sanchez of Bandera, Texas, into custody after a short foot chase near Juan Tabo and Candelaria NE.
Glisson said two marshals were hurt during the pursuit — one with a strained calf and another injured their ankle. He said they were assessed at a hospital and released.
"Arrests like this one are reminders of how dangerous these operations can be," U.S. Marshal for New Mexico Sonya K. Chávez said in a statement. "Thankfully, everyone is safe now and our community has one less violent offender on the streets of Albuquerque."
Sanchez is charged with an open count of murder, possession of a firearm by a felon and tampering with evidence in the May 5 death of Jesus Lopez, 29.
He is also wanted in a Jan. 1 incident in Bandera where he allegedly beat a man and two women with a baseball bat.
Sanchez was booked into the Metropolitan Detention Center on Wednesday. It is unclear if he has an attorney.
According to a criminal complaint filed in Metropolitan Court:
Police responded around 11 p.m. to the 200 block of Garcia NE, near Central and Moon, after a gunshot detection device recorded gunfire. Officers found Lopez lying in the middle of the road with several gunshot wounds and he died at the scene.
A neighbor told police someone had knocked on his door and he saw a man drag a person out of the back of a car and drive away.
On June 29, the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office identified Sanchez as a suspect in Lopez's death through an unrelated homicide investigation. Detectives searched Sanchez's Instagram account and found messages to a friend showing off his blood-spattered car and Nike Air Jordans.
Sanchez shared an article on the homicide and told the friend he shot Lopez multiple times in the car and Lopez had fired at him once but missed. In the messages, Sanchez asked the friend to have someone tell police they saw Lopez pull a gun on him before being shot so it sounded like a robbery.
The friend responded he had one of his acquaintances report it as a robbery.
The friend went on to say they should invest in silencers and suggested they take Lopez to the middle of the forest before shooting him. |

With little discussion and no debate, the Republican-controlled House voted 70-14 to send the bill to Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt, who has previously said he'd sign any anti-abortion bill that comes to his desk.
The bill is one of several anti-abortion measures still alive in Oklahoma’s Legislature this year, part of a trend of GOP-led states passing aggressive anti-abortion legislation as the conservative U.S. Supreme Court is considering ratcheting back abortion rights that have been in place for nearly 50 years.
The Oklahoma bill, which passed the Senate last year, makes an exception only for an abortion performed to save the life of the mother, said GOP state Rep. Jim Olsen, of Roland, who sponsored the bill. Under the bill, a person convicted of performing an abortion would face up to 10 years in prison and a $100,000 fine.
“The penalties are for the doctor, not for the woman," Olsen said.
Similar anti-abortion bills approved by the Oklahoma Legislature and in other conservative states in recent years have been stopped by the courts as unconstitutional, but anti-abortion lawmakers have been buoyed by the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to allow new Texas abortion restrictions to remain in place. The new Texas law, the most restrictive anti-abortion law in the U.S. in decades, leaves enforcement up to private citizens, who are entitled to collect what critics call a “bounty” of $10,000 if they bring a successful lawsuit against a provider or anyone who helps a patient obtain an abortion. Several states, including Oklahoma, are pursuing similar legislation this year.
The Oklahoma bill’s passage came on the same day as more than 100 people attended a “Bans Off Oklahoma” rally outside the Capitol in support of abortion rights.
“These legislators have continued their relentless attacks on our freedoms," said Emily Wales, interim president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Great Plains Votes. “These restrictions are not about improving the safety of the work that we do. They are about shaming and stigmatizing people who need and deserve abortion access."
Wales said Planned Parenthood's abortion clinic in Oklahoma has seen an 800% increase in the number of women from Texas after that state passed its new anti-abortion law last year.
The Texas law bans abortion once cardiac activity is detected, usually around six weeks of pregnancy, without exceptions in cases of rape or incest.
Also Tuesday, the Oklahoma House adopted a resolution to recognize lives lost due to abortion and urge citizens to fly flags at half-staff on Jan. 22, the day the U.S. Supreme Court legalized abortion in its landmark 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade. | 0 | 55,044 | 0 | https://www.fox43.com/article/news/nation-world/oklahoma-state-house-abortion-bill/507-79338105-b3fc-4259-8526-00af72e75d20 | 2022-04-06 02:29:20+00:00 | The Oklahoma House gave final legislative approval on Tuesday to a bill that would make performing an abortion a felony, punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

What to know before you buy a dinosaur ride-on toy
Age range
Ride-on toys with all kinds of features and capabilities are great for children ages 1 to 8. Some of these features are for safety, while others are relevant to a child’s budding skillset. If you’re not sure which toy is right for your child, consider their weight and height. These toys have maximum weight capacities, and your child’s height is important for determining whether they can reach pedals or sit comfortably with the allotted amount of leg room.
Choosing a dinosaur
While the type of dinosaur you select is limited to what stores are selling, the dinosaur you choose can make or break the experience for a child. If you don’t know a kid’s favorite dinosaur, ask. Or, if it’s a surprise, take a look at the dinosaur toys they already own, and see if there’s one dinosaur that pops up more than the rest. The most popular dinosaur options for ride-on toys include the Tyrannosaurus rex, Velociraptor and Triceratops.
Manual or battery-powered
Decide if you want a ride-on toy operated manually or one that’s electronic. Manual ride-on toys move via pedals, feet or a pull-and-push handle operated by an adult. Battery-powered ride-on toys are ridden with the press of a button and can include sounds or lights to add to the experience.
What to look for in a quality dinosaur ride-on toy
Safety precautions
Safety is the primary concern when it comes to toys, especially ride-on toys. The toy should be well-balanced, not wobbly, with even wheels that can be counted on for a smooth ride without causing the toy to fall over. If the toy is motorized, a separate remote control for parents is provided for emergency stopping.
Adjustable features
Having adjustable features is especially useful when it comes to manual toys. If there is a seat or handlebars, it helps to be able to adjust them to your child’s height. This will let you get more out of the toy as your child grows, making it last longer.
Dinosaur-related extras
If the toy is designed to look like a dinosaur, kids will expect it to behave like a dinosaur. If the toy is motorized, this means sounds, looks or movement related to the dinosaur. It should roar or be heavily detailed to resemble a specific species of dinosaur, not just a general reptilian creature.
How much you can expect to spend on a dinosaur ride-on toy
Manual dinosaur ride-on toys cost $25-$100, while battery-powered ones cost $80-$300.
Dinosaur ride-on toy FAQ
Is assembly required?
A. Yes. The difficulty of the assembly depends on the toy, though manual ride-on toys seem to have more extensive assembly instructions than battery-operated ones.
What are they made of?
A. These toys are mostly made of plastic. Some have metal or electronic components.

https://www.wowktv.com/news/u-s-world/more-delays-for-nasas-moon-rocket-test-fueling-stalled/ | CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA’s dress rehearsal for its mega moon rocket is off until at least this weekend because of a pair of technical problems that kept stalling a fueling test.
Launch managers tried twice — once Sunday and again Monday — to load nearly 1 million gallons of fuel into the 322-foot (98-meter) rocket known as Space Launch System, or SLS. Balky fans at the launch pad thwarted the first effort, while an improperly closed valve halted the second attempt.
The countdown test is the last major milestone before the rocket’s long-awaited launch debut. The Orion crew capsule atop the rocket will be hurled to the moon in a passenger-less test flight, looping around but not landing before returning to Earth. NASA is targeting June, depending on how the demo goes.
“We didn’t get through everything we wanted, but certainly learned a great deal that we’ll take into our next attempt,” said NASA’s Jim Free, who’s in charge of exploration systems development.
Speaking Tuesday at the Space Foundation’s annual conference in Colorado Springs, Free said the launch team will wait until SpaceX launches four private passengers to the International Space Station before taking another crack at the fueling test. Liftoff is scheduled for Friday from Kennedy Space Center, barely a mile from the pad holding the SLS rocket.
Managers declined to specify a date for the next SLS fueling attempt, but noted they would not have to start the test from scratch.
The dress rehearsal began Friday and should have lasted just two days. A severe thunderstorm resulted in four lightning strikes at the pad Saturday, but officials did not believe that caused any of the technical problems. They described the problems as nuisances — not design issues.
“The rocket is fine. The spacecraft (capsule) is fine. We’ve just got to get through the test and the test objectives,” mission manager Mike Sarafin told reporters.
After this first moonshot in NASA’s Artemis program, NASA will send a crew around the moon in 2024 and then attempt the first lunar landing by astronauts in 2025 or so. Astronauts last walked on the moon in 1972 during NASA’s Apollo program.

https://www.wowktv.com/news/u-s-world/treasury-bars-russia-payments-in-dollars-from-us-accounts/ | WASHINGTON (AP) — The Treasury Department is moving to keep the Russian government from making debt payments at U.S. banks with U.S. dollars, restricting one of the strategies President Vladimir Putin is using to stave off default, an agency official said Tuesday.
Russia faces several April deadlines to make debt payments. The Kremlin must now choose between draining its remaining valuable dollar reserves, using new revenue coming in or default, said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the official wasn’t authorized to speak on the record.
The Treasury decision comes after the agency previously said sanctions levied on Russia over itsinvasion of Ukraine still permit Russia to continue to make debt payments. The debt is owed to foreign investors, among others, and comes from government investments to presumably spur economic growth in Russia.
Russia is currently facing skyrocketing inflation, shortages in essential goods and disrupted trade with the rest of the world as it continues its invasion of Ukraine.
While the ruble has bounced back from the fall it took after the U.S. and European allies moved to bury the Russian economy, Putin has resorted to extreme financial measures to blunt the West’s penalties and inflate his currency.
Western sanctions from the war have placed severe restrictions on banks and their financial transactions with Russia, and also have frozen much of the government’s reserves of foreign currency.
The West has cut key Russian banks out of a financial messaging system known as SWIFT, which is used every day to route billions of dollars among more than 11,000 banks and other financial institutions around the world. Sanctions have been issued on Russian leadership, oligarchs, trade and natural resources, and the country’s central bank.
The U.S., EU and United Kingdom have limited the ability of Russia’s central bank to draw on more than $600 billion in foreign currency reserves and have frozen its gold reserves. That has left the central bank with few tools to prop up the ruble and prevent it from crumbling in value.
The decision to limit bond payments will further deplete the resources Putin is using to continue his war against Ukraine and will cause more uncertainty and challenges for Russia’s financial system, the Treasury official said.
Darshak Dholakia, a trade and government regulations attorney in Washington, said now that Treasury has restricted access to these funds, “it seems like the calculus has changed.”
He said the U.S. is finding ways to ensure that Russia has less money to buy weapons by reducing its access to funds to pay for its bond obligations.
“The U.S. has not put full blocking measures on the central bank yet,” he said. “They’re saying that Russia can’t touch those funds unless it’s for an authorized purpose.”
Once a country defaults, it can be cut off from bond-market borrowing until the default is sorted out and investors regain confidence in the government’s ability and willingness to pay. Additionally, holders of the bonds could take serious losses and can sue.

Television show Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin is one of the most popular shows right now. The show has maintained its position among the top 5 shows on the TRP list for the past one year. The show features Neil Bhatt, Aishwarya Singh, and Ayesha Singh in the lead roles. As per reports by Telly Chakkar, actor Sachin Shroff will be soon entering the show, which will bring a new twist to the plot.
According to their sources, post the Holi celebrations, Sachin Shroff will make an entry in the show. Apparently, he will be playing the role of Shivani’s (Tanvi Thakkar) fiance.
Sachin is known for his stints in Sinndoor Tere Naam Ka, Saat Phere: Saloni Ka Safar, Naam Gum Jayegaa, Shagun, and Paramavatar Shri Krishna. He was last seen in Bobby Deol’s popular web series Aashram.
The show is a remake of Star Jalsha's Bengali series Kusum Dola, and it is loved by the masses. It is produced by Cockcrow Entertainment and Shaika Films. They currently produce popular shows like Choti Sarrdarni on Colors, Kaamna on Sony TV, and Kabhi Kabhie Ittefaq Sey on Star Plus.
Sachin Shroff was earlier married to actress Juhi Parmar, but the couple got divorced in 2018. He had shared in an interview with ETimes, “The divorce happened with mutual consent, amicably and in a dignified manner. Unfortunately, and by Juhi’s own public admission, she was never in love with me. One-sided relationships are doomed from the beginning. It’s said, ‘It’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all’. But the fact is that it hurts to have been in a loveless marriage. Nothing I did could make Juhi love me."

Sachin said that his journey in the show was memorable. He added that although initially, his track was good, he felt his character didn't shape up the way they thought it would, so he quit the show. The actor added it was mutual decision and he is glad that the makers understood.
The actor was quoted by Times Of India as saying, "My journey with
Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin was a memorable one. It was a good character and I enjoyed playing it while my track was on. It was a happy-go-lucky character. The makers gave it importance when I entered the show. My track was really good initially, but gradually it did not shape up the way we thought it would. So I felt it was best to move on."

He said that daily soaps are long-running shows and there are characters that enter and exit, but the show must go on! He added that he will miss his co-stars.
Sachin said, "I will miss Tanvi, Ayesha, Neil, Aishwarya, Yogendra and everyone else from the show. The makers were kind to understand my concerns and they let me go. It was a mutual decision and I am glad they understood."

MUMBAI:Tanvi Thakkar is currently seen in Star Plus' popular drama series Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin.
The actress has been a part of the show for several months now and the viewers are in love with her delightful presence as Shivani in the show.
Tanvi's character has been an integral part of the show ever since the beginning.
Well, the viewers have seen a lot of changes in her character over time.
TellyChakkar got in touch with Tanvi who spoke in length about being a part of Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin, her character, bonding with the star cast and much more.
How has been your journey so far with the star cast of the show?
It has been an excellent journey for me with the star cast. I can't take the name of a few people who are my favourite from the show. I am a butterfly who keeps flying here and there. I keep chilling with everyone on the set. I am equally distributing my time between all the actors. Vihan is everybody's favourite on the sets of the show. He has an amazing sense of humour. We all feel that something is missing when he does not come on the set even for one day. He is only making fun of us.
How challenging is it for you to perform such intense scenes off-camera that everyone is just having fun?
It is quite challenging since the entire star cast is too fun to be around. Otherwise, it doesn't seem challenging at all. We all keep laughing a lot in between the takes. It becomes difficult to get back into the skin of our characters and deliver the right expressions after having a hearty laugh. My character is very positive and I have to do a lot of emotional scenes.
Fans are in love with your camaraderie with Sachin Shroff who plays your husband on-screen. Tell us about your bond.
Sachin and I fight like brother and sister. We are like siblings off-screen. We have this cute nok-jhok. We are really like siblings in real life. Vihan is my younger brother and Sachin is my elder brother. Our track in the show had been very beautiful. For the whole period of our track, we did not have an episode bank at that time. Whatever we used to shoot at night, that used to telecast the next day in the evening on Hotstar. It was a cut-to-cut shoot and I shot constantly for this entire period. This track was only focusing on us. Whenever I think about that track, I still have a smile on my face. We both have given everything to that track.
Lastly, adding about the show taking a leap, Tanvi had said that she has no clue what will happen in the storyline post the leap and who will continue the show.
Stay tuned to TellyChakkar for all the latest updates.

Legal and moral questions about Russia are displacing vital boardroom decisions on post-pandemic recovery and climate change, a business summit has been warned.
Opening the two-day event in Sydney on Wednesday, Responsible Investment Association Australasia CEO Simon O'Connor said "it's a really fragile moment for responsible investment".
Mercer Australia partner Alexis Cheang challenged the asset owners in the room to have frameworks in place to stress test for multiple shocks - the Ukraine war, COVID-19 and climate change.
Although human rights abuses were not new, what was different now was that businesses were making moral decisions to stand with Ukraine, she said.
Christian Super CEO Ross Piper said the key question was what checks and balances were in place to determine how far to go beyond the legal requirements of sanctions.
"That's going to look different for different investors," he said.
"It's complex and it's tragic - at the heart of this is extraordinary, heart-breaking human tragedy."
There was strong encouragement from Treasurer Josh Frydenberg for super funds to dump Russian assets, and the financial regulator advised trustees should not be held to account for loss-making decisions to divest.
"But the net effect of all that is a degree of confusion," Mr Piper said.
"Trustees are accountable to make decisions in the best financial interests of their members."
Ms Cheang said limits must be set on what risks were acceptable to make returns, divest and make impact investments because the flip side to dumping assets was action to support refugees and companies who would rebuild Ukraine.
Founder of Blended Capital Group Paul Clements-Hunt said bankers had themselves to blame for "wining and dining" oligarchs for the past 30 years.
Mr Clements-Hunt is credited with coining the term ESG (environment, social and governance) - now a mainstream way of weighing up business decisions.
He also helped to craft the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment so the largest investors, including pension funds and sovereign funds, could contribute to sustainable growth, poverty reduction and environmental protection.
Responsible investing have since developed with its own line of certified financial products, and is worth more than $1.2 trillion in Australia.
Mr Clements-Hunt said investors should have been alert to the risks of fossil fuel-rich and nuclear-armed Russia's "slide into autocracy and war-mongering".
"It was normalised from the beginning," he said.
"Yes, some called out Russia but the investment and the funds kept flowing."
Similarly, climate "red flags" were ignored and most investment firms remained wedded to fossil fuels, he said.
Amid market turmoil, there have been accusations about the failure of investment screening.
But Mr Clements-Hunt insisted ESG analysis brought a "forensic and sanitising influence" if applied consistently.
Using the framework to assess risks on three levels - systemic, portfolio and company - was still a "potentially powerful tool", he said.
Responsible Investment 2022 conference host Mr O'Connor said the mission was clear.
"It's about driving investment that aligns with a healthier and more sustainable economy, environment and society," he said. | 0 | 78,608 | 0 | https://thewest.com.au/business/russia-displaces-climate-in-2022-boardroom-c-6353089 | 2022-04-06 04:54:54+00:00 | Russia displaces climate in 2022 boardroom

After all, some mad person always screams about the world’s end, which has not occurred yet. Stuart Kirk, former global head of responsible investment at HSBC Asset Management, recently made these points in a presentation titled “Why investors need not worry about climate risk”.
Several investors, executives, politicians, and asset managers share this view. They condemn the obsessive focus on climate risk, and the environmental and social impacts of doing business, which inform the new wave of environmental, social and governance (ESG) reporting integration pressures.
To some, ESG and sustainable investing are scams akin to selling indulgences to assuage guilt and signal virtue.
To others, it is a plot by left-wing radicals to destroy the energy industry from within and inflame the culture wars. After all, a house divided against itself cannot stand.
Significant climate events do not occur everywhere at the same time and so the implications of climate risk on investment portfolios are not equally visible worldwide.
Due to the interconnected nature of the planet, these events increase the risk and fragility of the global economy.
Climate and environmental risks are, of course, not the only ones confronting the global economy. Social risks, such as inequality, human rights abuses and political instability, can disrupt the global economy too. To mitigate these risks and enable shared value and sustainable development, transparent governance must occur in governments and the private sector. At the core of ESG is this recognition.
Within this context, a new(er) normal confronts the global economy. The new(er) normal is the fruit of an unholy union between supply-chain bottlenecks and shortages, rising global inflation and an energy crisis.
The surrogates are the increasingly visible impacts of climate change and the urgent action needed to address it. The new(er) normal exemplifies the financial risks of inaction for the current economic system.
In Europe and the US, heatwaves and wildfires destroy property and kill hundreds. The homes and businesses consumed in the fires, the impending insurance claims, and the loss of human life bear witness to the financial cost of climate change.
At the same time, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is upending global energy markets, unbalancing energy security and causing high energy prices. This has led the European Union to rethink its energy policy.
Similarly, the invasion of Ukraine has contributed to high food prices because Russia and Ukraine are major wheat exporters and Russia is a significant exporter of fertiliser. The latest deal to allow Ukraine to export grain holds promise but is yet to have a significant impact on rising prices.
Last, regulatory challenges and opposition to environmental management policies have become increasingly common. In the United States, the supreme court ruled to limit the powers of the Environmental Protection Agency to reduce carbon emissions from power plants. Some politicians have suggested that a carbon tax or stricter emissions management would result in consumers paying significantly more for goods and services.
The new(er) normal presents ESG proponents with a question. Can sustainability and environmental needs be balanced against the social needs of people? The evidence suggests that it is indeed possible. However, doing so requires a more significant emphasis on the “S” and “G” dimensions of ESG. These two concerns of ESG sometimes come into conflict with environmental concerns. For ESG to be able to confront the new(er) normal, it must deal with some of the criticisms levelled against it.
Robert Armstrong and Tariq Fancy have criticised ESG for being a dangerous distraction from the bold action required to mitigate climate risk. Moreover, they highlight the misalignment between incentives of asset managers and timelines needed to address deep-rooted ESG problems.
Instead of taking the necessary actions to address society’s challenges, and changing the way of doing business, ESG presents itself as an eloquent solution to society’s systemic issues. Both have also argued that unelected individuals such as Larry Fink, chief executive of BlackRock Investments, are not the proper vehicle through which to address society’s challenges. For them, the correct way is through the ballot box; through voters selecting their elected representatives.
To avoid the risk of ESG investing simply becoming an empty marketing tool to assuage guilt, effective regulation is essential to ensure that firms internalise the external costs that the current way of doing business offloads on the environment and poor communities. Armstrong and Fancy stress the need for a carbon tax on companies, for instance.
However, their argument about misaligned timelines could also replace asset managers with politicians. While asset managers focus on quarterly bonuses, politicians focus on the next election and increasing their power. Similarly, while the loan book for an asset manager may be for six years, the electoral cycle is every two to six years in the United States.
While Fancy and Armstrong are right about the crucial importance of regulation to direct corporate actors along a sustainable path, the partisan interests of politicians make the passage of climate-related legislation difficult in some countries.
For the growing emphasis on ESG performance to have a lasting positive impact, practitioners and politicians must look more closely at the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs present a set of goals to be achieved by 2030. These include eradicating global hunger, ensuring affordable energy security and improving access to healthcare.
ESG and SDGs are complementary perspectives on sustainability. SDGs approach broader societal focused goals, while ESG focuses on how corporate entities approach sustainability. The current emphasis within ESG criteria is predominantly on the “E”, so the incorporation of SDGs offers an opportunity to raise the profile of the overlooked “S”.
Prioritising the achievement of the SDGs in ESG integration is a chance to integrate ESG into policies that meet the demands of the moment, especially where there are seeming contradictions between different elements and goals.
High inflationary pressure leads to reserve banks increasing interest rates. Higher interest rates suggest that companies will reduce the number of workers employed as part of their cost-cutting mechanisms. Increased unemployment means more individuals will fall into poverty. This will damage and hinder the achievement of SDG 8: Decent work and economic growth — having knock-on effects on other SDGs.
In essence, the market doing what it naturally does would worsen the systemic social ills ESG attempts to incentivise the private sector to take more responsibility for.
Greater incorporation of the SDGs as a crucial framework for reporting around ESG addresses Armstrong and Fancy’s criticism of unaligned timelines and contrasting incentives. The SDGs present a clearly defined timeline for achieving a goal, enabling quantifiable measurement towards this end.
Prioritising the SDGs in ESG does not mean that one should reduce environmental considerations. Indeed, the SDGs are fully compatible with a focus on reducing emissions, as reduced emissions would directly improve the attainment of several SDGs. However, the SDGs keep humans at the centre of efforts to craft a better future.
The negative impact of climate risk on investment portfolio performance is not overblown. The effect of social risks, similarly, is often severely understated. Climate change is a significant threat to the global economy and humanity. However, so too are poverty and inequality. Greater integration of the SDGs presents an opportunity for ESG to internalise the costs of the economic machine and push us towards a greener future.

https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/Storms-batter-aging-power-grid-as-climate-17060281.php | Power outages from severe weather have doubled over the past two decades across the U.S., as a warming climate stirs more destructive storms that cripple broad segments of the nation’s aging electrical grid, according to an Associated Press analysis of government data.
Forty states are experiencing longer outages — and the problem is most acute in regions seeing more extreme weather, U.S. Department of Energy data shows. The blackouts can be harmful and even deadly for the elderly, disabled and other vulnerable communities.
Power grid maintenance expenses are skyrocketing as utilities upgrade decades-old transmission lines and equipment. And that means customers who are hit with more frequent and longer weather outages also are paying more for electricity.
“The electric grid is our early warning,” said University of California, Berkeley grid expert Alexandra von Meier. “Climate change is here and we’re feeling real effects.”
The AP analysis found:
—The number of outages tied to severe weather rose from about 50 annually nationwide in the early 2000s to more than 100 annually on average over the past five years.
—The frequency and length of power failures are at their highest levels since reliability tracking began in 2013 — with U.S. customers on average experiencing more than eight hours of outages in 2020.
—Maine, Louisiana and California each experienced at least a 50% increase in outage duration even as residents endured mounting interruption costs over the past several years.
—In California alone, power losses have affected tens of thousands of people who rely on electricity for medical needs.
The AP analyzed electricity disturbance data submitted by utilities to the U.S. Department of Energy to identify weather-related outages. The analysis also examined utility-level data covering outages of more than five minutes, including how long they lasted and how often they occurred. Department officials declined comment.
Driving the increasingly commonplace blackouts are weather disasters now rolling across the country with seasonal consistency.
Winter storms called nor'easters barrel into New England and shred decrepit electrical networks. Hot summers spawn hurricanes that pound the Gulf Coast and Eastern Seaboard, plunging communities into the dark, sometimes for months. And in fall, West Coast windstorms trigger forced power shutoffs across huge areas to protect against deadly wildfires from downed equipment.
MAINE
The power grid's fragility hit home for Lynn Mason Courtney, 78, a blind cancer survivor living in a retirement community in Bethel, Maine, a rural town of 2,500 along the Androscoggin River.
When Courtney's building lost power and heat for three days following a 2020 winter storm, the temperature inside fell to 42 degrees (6 degrees Celsius). Extended loss of heat isn’t something most people are prepared for in a cold state such as Maine, she said, and one resident relied on old camping gear to try to keep warm.
"I developed hypothermia. I was dehydrated,” Courtney said. “Two people on oxygen had nowhere to go. They just stayed in the apartment and hoped like hell that the power would come back on.”
Winter storms left more than 500,000 without power in Maine in 2017 — more than a third of the state’s population. And in recent years, the state has seen record numbers of weather-related interruptions. The state never recorded more than five per year until 2018, but in 2020 it had 12, AP's analysis found.
As with much of the nation, Maine’s electrical infrastructure was built decades ago and parts are more than 50 years old, according to the American Society of Civil Engineers.
The brittle condition of the state's power grid and repeated disruptions worsened by climate change worry Courtney.
“When the power goes out, it’s extraordinarily difficult and dangerous,” she said. "If you’re disabled, it’s scary. You’re not safe.”
As the planet warms, storms that threaten power reliability are likely to hit some areas harder, said Penn State University meteorology professor Colin Zarzycki.
A warmer atmosphere holds more moisture, increasing energy packed by storms no matter the season. The phenomenon produces, for example, increasingly destructive tropical hurricanes that strike the Southeast and Pacific storms that cause flooding on the West Coast.
On the East Coast, some nor'easters will convert to rainstorms as freezing weather shifts north. But those that fall as snow could be bigger than ever, Zarzycki said.
And some areas will get less snow but more sleet and freezing rain that can wreak greater damage on electrical systems, because ice-laden equipment is easier for winds to topple.
“Those really high-end nor’easters, the ones that take over CNN for days, those are going to occur with the same or increased frequency,” Zarzycki said. “Where these events occur could lead to increased vulnerability, because the infrastructure is not prepared.”
LOUISIANA
The combination of at-risk infrastructure and climate change can be deadly: After Hurricane Ida knocked out power to much of coastal Louisiana last year, heat killed or contributed to the deaths of at least 21 people, local coroners reported.
In New Orleans alone, heat caused nine deaths and contributed to 10 others, according to coroner’s office records. Most who died were elderly and African American. Spokesman Jason Melancon could not say which victims did not have power, but 75% of the city was still without power when most died.
David Sneed, 65, died in his wheelchair on the 12th-floor of the subsidized apartment where he’d been without power for several days after the storm hit Aug. 29.
Sneed was obese and had a cognitive impairment that made walking difficult, so he used the wheelchair most of the time, said Rev. Ken Taylor, a professor at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, where Sneed was a doctoral student.
Three days after the storm, Sneed called Taylor in near-panic and said he was unable to leave because the building's elevator was not working. So the next day, Taylor went to Sneed’s apartment to bring him food and water — and it felt like 100 degrees (38 degrees Celsius), with no windows open.
When the professor returned the following day, he found the elevator was working. Sneed said he'd go down to the first floor where it was cooler. But when the reverend came back to check on him again, Sneed didn’t answer.
When an apartment employee opened the door, Sneed’s body was in the bedroom, slumped in his wheelchair.
“I speculate that he had rolled into his bedroom to put on some pants to go downstairs ... and the heat or his heart or a combination of the two” killed him, Taylor said. The coroner’s office said Sneed died from the heat.
The financial toll of storms is huge — Louisiana’s largest power company has said it will cost an estimated $4 billion to repair damage from the hurricanes of 2020 and 2021. State regulators have approved $3.2 billion of that, which Entergy Corp. estimates will add $8 a month for 15 years to the average residential bill.
Problems with the grid and costs to fix them are expected to grow in coming decades, said U.C. Berkeley's von Meier.
Much of the grid was built decades ago, and the majority of power transmission facilities are now at least 25 years old. That’s forced utilities to quadruple spending on the U.S. transmission system since 2000 to about $40 billion annually, according to Department of Energy data.
Billions more will be spent, with costs passed on to consumers, but those efforts won’t keep up with problems from climate change, von Meier said. “Rates will go up, reliability will go down,” she said.
CALIFORNIA
In California, widespread anger erupted in recent years as utilities such as Pacific Gas and Electric Co. imposed deliberate power outages to guard against wildfires.
Almost 200 California wildfires over the past decade were traced to downed power lines that ignited trees or brush, including a record 41 blazes in 2021. Among them was a 2018 fire that ripped through the Sierra Nevada foothills town of Paradise and killed 85 people, resulting in criminal involuntary manslaughter convictions of PG&E. Another fire blamed on PG&E last year burned almost 1 million acres (390,000 hectares), 1,300 buildings and much of the Sierra Nevada town of Greenville.
Now when wind storms are forecast and the landscape is dry, utilities cut off power to hundreds of thousands of customers, sometimes for multiple days, to reduce fire risk.
Beyond closing businesses and causing food to spoil in refrigerators, outages can be life-threatening for people with health conditions whose medical equipment requires electricity.
An AP review of utility filings with California regulators found nearly 160,000 instances of power shutoffs to customers with medical needs from 2017 to 2021. PG&E was responsible for more than 80%.
“We know there has been a trade-off between safety and reliability,” said PG&E Vice President Sumeet Singh. He said shutoffs were a last resort to guard against fires and that the company has reduced the number of people affected through better forecasting of hazardous weather and more localized shutdowns.
Richard Skaff, a paraplegic who is an advocate for the disabled in Northern California, said he has endured two forced outages each lasting five days over the past several years. He was fortunate to have a generator to keep his electric wheelchair powered and his house heated, but said many others with disabilities live on minimal incomes and struggle to get by during outages.
“If we’re going to allow PG&E and others to de-energize the grid, if we accept that as a concept, you have to look at the implications of that first,” Skaff said. “You have to determine the effects on the most vulnerable people."
PG&E and other utilities have sought to lessen the impacts by notifying people with needs in advance of shutoffs and setting up response centers where they can charge their phones or other essential devices.
Utilities also have started creating “microgrids” — local electrical networks that can disconnect from the main grid and operate independently to reduce the scope of shutoffs.
“We're very sensitive to the needs of our customers," said Southern California Edison Vice President Erik Takayesu. “We run risk calculations to ensure we’re making the right decisions. But it's really hard ... Each individual customer will have their own individual experience. The best we can do is help the customer prepare.”
The state utilities commission and some local officials have said the industry's efforts are insufficient for outages that can cover large portions of the state and affect numerous towns and cities.
By the end of this year, PG&E and Southern California Edison expect to have spent almost $20 billion since 2020 on wildfire prevention. The companies are cutting back vegetation near their equipment and putting up stronger power lines. PG&E plans to bury 10,000 miles (16,000 kilometers) of lines over 10 years so they won't be exposed to falling trees.
PG&E's customers paid on average almost $140 more last year versus the previous year to avert wildfires from their operations.
Rising electric bills because of extreme weather have outsized impact on low income households and communities of color, said John Howat, a senior energy analyst at National Consumer Law Center. These communities devote a higher proportion of their income to home energy bills, so they get hit harder than wealthier households.
Since it will take utilities many years to carry out their wildfire prevention efforts, companies will continue to use forced shutoffs to protect against wildfires.
The intentional outages help utilities avoid liability for deadly wildfires, but they amount to recurring crises for power customers who are disabled, elderly or with special needs, said Aaron Carruthers, executive director of the California State Council on Developmental Disabilities.
Unless more is done to prepare needy communities, shutoffs will continue to put lives at risk, threaten people's health and leave vulnerable people scared, Carruthers said.
Gabriela Madrigal, a 34-year-old Santa Barbara resident who needs a powered wheelchair to get around, said she's endured perhaps a dozen preventive shutoffs by Southern California Edison over the past several years.
Madrigal — who has a debilitating, neurological condition called spina bifida — lives in low-income city housing with her mother, who is her primary caregiver.
Each time the power blinks out, it catches them off guard, Madrigal said. When the outages last hours or days, her wheelchair goes dead. The chair weighs several hundred pounds with Madrigal in it, and her mother has trouble moving it.
So when the power goes off and no one else is around to help, “we're pretty much stuck,” Madrigal said. “It takes a toll on someone.”

Forty states are experiencing longer outages — and the problem is most acute in regions seeing more extreme weather, U.S. Department of Energy data shows. The blackouts can be harmful and even deadly for the elderly, disabled and other vulnerable communities.
Power grid maintenance expenses are skyrocketing as utilities upgrade decades-old transmission lines and equipment. And that means customers who are hit with more frequent and longer weather outages also are paying more for electricity.
“The electric grid is our early warning,” said University of California, Berkeley grid expert Alexandra von Meier. “Climate change is here and we’re feeling real effects.”
The AP analysis found:
—The number of outages tied to severe weather rose from about 50 annually nationwide in the early 2000s to more than 100 annually on average over the past five years.
—The frequency and length of power failures are at their highest levels since reliability tracking began in 2013 — with U.S. customers on average experiencing more than eight hours of outages in 2020.
—Maine, Louisiana and California each experienced at least a 50% increase in outage duration even as residents endured mounting interruption costs over the past several years.
—In California alone, power losses have affected tens of thousands of people who rely on electricity for medical needs.
The AP analyzed electricity disturbance data submitted by utilities to the U.S. Department of Energy to identify weather-related outages. The analysis also examined utility-level data covering outages of more than five minutes, including how long they lasted and how often they occurred. Department officials declined comment.
Driving the increasingly commonplace blackouts are weather disasters now rolling across the country with seasonal consistency.
Winter storms called nor'easters barrel into New England and shred decrepit electrical networks. Hot summers spawn hurricanes that pound the Gulf Coast and Eastern Seaboard, plunging communities into the dark, sometimes for months. And in fall, West Coast windstorms trigger forced power shutoffs across huge areas to protect against deadly wildfires from downed equipment.
MAINE
The power grid's fragility hit home for Lynn Mason Courtney, 78, a blind cancer survivor living in a retirement community in Bethel, Maine, a rural town of 2,500 along the Androscoggin River.
When Courtney's building lost power and heat for three days following a 2020 winter storm, the temperature inside fell to 42 degrees (6 degrees Celsius). Extended loss of heat isn’t something most people are prepared for in a cold state such as Maine, she said, and one resident relied on old camping gear to try to keep warm.
"I developed hypothermia. I was dehydrated,” Courtney said. “Two people on oxygen had nowhere to go. They just stayed in the apartment and hoped like hell that the power would come back on.”
Winter storms left more than 500,000 without power in Maine in 2017 — more than a third of the state’s population. And in recent years, the state has seen record numbers of weather-related interruptions. The state never recorded more than five per year until 2018, but in 2020 it had 12, AP's analysis found.
As with much of the nation, Maine’s electrical infrastructure was built decades ago and parts are more than 50 years old, according to the American Society of Civil Engineers.
The brittle condition of the state's power grid and repeated disruptions worsened by climate change worry Courtney.
“When the power goes out, it’s extraordinarily difficult and dangerous,” she said. "If you’re disabled, it’s scary. You’re not safe.”
As the planet warms, storms that threaten power reliability are likely to hit some areas harder, said Penn State University meteorology professor Colin Zarzycki.
A warmer atmosphere holds more moisture, increasing energy packed by storms no matter the season. The phenomenon produces, for example, increasingly destructive tropical hurricanes that strike the Southeast and Pacific storms that cause flooding on the West Coast.
On the East Coast, some nor'easters will convert to rainstorms as freezing weather shifts north. But those that fall as snow could be bigger than ever, Zarzycki said.
And some areas will get less snow but more sleet and freezing rain that can wreak greater damage on electrical systems, because ice-laden equipment is easier for winds to topple.
“Those really high-end nor’easters, the ones that take over CNN for days, those are going to occur with the same or increased frequency,” Zarzycki said. “Where these events occur could lead to increased vulnerability, because the infrastructure is not prepared.”
LOUISIANA
The combination of at-risk infrastructure and climate change can be deadly: After Hurricane Ida knocked out power to much of coastal Louisiana last year, heat killed or contributed to the deaths of at least 21 people, local coroners reported.
In New Orleans alone, heat caused nine deaths and contributed to 10 others, according to coroner’s office records. Most who died were elderly and African American. Spokesman Jason Melancon could not say which victims did not have power, but 75% of the city was still without power when most died.
David Sneed, 65, died in his wheelchair on the 12th-floor of the subsidized apartment where he’d been without power for several days after the storm hit Aug. 29.
Sneed was obese and had a cognitive impairment that made walking difficult, so he used the wheelchair most of the time, said Rev. Ken Taylor, a professor at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, where Sneed was a doctoral student.
Three days after the storm, Sneed called Taylor in near-panic and said he was unable to leave because the building's elevator was not working. So the next day, Taylor went to Sneed’s apartment to bring him food and water — and it felt like 100 degrees (38 degrees Celsius), with no windows open.
When the professor returned the following day, he found the elevator was working. Sneed said he'd go down to the first floor where it was cooler. But when the reverend came back to check on him again, Sneed didn’t answer.
When an apartment employee opened the door, Sneed’s body was in the bedroom, slumped in his wheelchair.
“I speculate that he had rolled into his bedroom to put on some pants to go downstairs ... and the heat or his heart or a combination of the two” killed him, Taylor said. The coroner’s office said Sneed died from the heat.
The financial toll of storms is huge — Louisiana’s largest power company has said it will cost an estimated $4 billion to repair damage from the hurricanes of 2020 and 2021. State regulators have approved $3.2 billion of that, which Entergy Corp. estimates will add $8 a month for 15 years to the average residential bill.
Problems with the grid and costs to fix them are expected to grow in coming decades, said U.C. Berkeley's von Meier.
Much of the grid was built decades ago, and the majority of power transmission facilities are now at least 25 years old. That’s forced utilities to quadruple spending on the U.S. transmission system since 2000 to about $40 billion annually, according to Department of Energy data.
Billions more will be spent, with costs passed on to consumers, but those efforts won’t keep up with problems from climate change, von Meier said. “Rates will go up, reliability will go down,” she said.
CALIFORNIA
In California, widespread anger erupted in recent years as utilities such as Pacific Gas and Electric Co. imposed deliberate power outages to guard against wildfires.
Almost 200 California wildfires over the past decade were traced to downed power lines that ignited trees or brush, including a record 41 blazes in 2021. Among them was a 2018 fire that ripped through the Sierra Nevada foothills town of Paradise and killed 85 people, resulting in criminal involuntary manslaughter convictions of PG&E.

As with much of the nation, Maine’s electrical infrastructure was built decades ago and parts are more than 50 years old, according to the American Society of Civil Engineers.
The brittle condition of the state's power grid and repeated disruptions worsened by climate change worry Courtney.
“When the power goes out, it’s extraordinarily difficult and dangerous,” she said. "If you’re disabled, it’s scary. You’re not safe.”
As the planet warms, storms that threaten power reliability are likely to hit some areas harder, said Penn State University meteorology professor Colin Zarzycki.
A warmer atmosphere holds more moisture, increasing energy packed by storms no matter the season. The phenomenon produces, for example, increasingly destructive tropical hurricanes that strike the Southeast and Pacific storms that cause flooding on the West Coast.
On the East Coast, some nor'easters will convert to rainstorms as freezing weather shifts north. But those that fall as snow could be bigger than ever, Zarzycki said.
And some areas will get less snow but more sleet and freezing rain that can wreak greater damage on electrical systems, because ice-laden equipment is easier for winds to topple.
“Those really high-end nor’easters, the ones that take over CNN for days, those are going to occur with the same or increased frequency,” Zarzycki said. “Where these events occur could lead to increased vulnerability, because the infrastructure is not prepared.”
LOUISIANA
The combination of at-risk infrastructure and climate change can be deadly: After Hurricane Ida knocked out power to much of coastal Louisiana last year, heat killed or contributed to the deaths of at least 21 people, local coroners reported.
In New Orleans alone, heat caused nine deaths and contributed to 10 others, according to coroner’s office records. Most who died were elderly and African American. Spokesman Jason Melancon could not say which victims did not have power, but 75% of the city was still without power when most died.
David Sneed, 65, died in his wheelchair on the 12th-floor of the subsidized apartment where he’d been without power for several days after the storm hit Aug. 29.
Sneed was obese and had a cognitive impairment that made walking difficult, so he used the wheelchair most of the time, said Rev. Ken Taylor, a professor at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, where Sneed was a doctoral student.
Three days after the storm, Sneed called Taylor in near-panic and said he was unable to leave because the building's elevator was not working. So the next day, Taylor went to Sneed’s apartment to bring him food and water — and it felt like 100 degrees (38 degrees Celsius), with no windows open.
When the professor returned the following day, he found the elevator was working. Sneed said he'd go down to the first floor where it was cooler. But when the reverend came back to check on him again, Sneed didn’t answer.
When an apartment employee opened the door, Sneed’s body was in the bedroom, slumped in his wheelchair.
“I speculate that he had rolled into his bedroom to put on some pants to go downstairs ... and the heat or his heart or a combination of the two” killed him, Taylor said. The coroner’s office said Sneed died from the heat.
The financial toll of storms is huge — Louisiana’s largest power company has said it will cost an estimated $4 billion to repair damage from the hurricanes of 2020 and 2021. State regulators have approved $3.2 billion of that, which Entergy Corp. estimates will add $8 a month for 15 years to the average residential bill.
Problems with the grid and costs to fix them are expected to grow in coming decades, said U.C. Berkeley's von Meier.
Much of the grid was built decades ago, and the majority of power transmission facilities are now at least 25 years old. That’s forced utilities to quadruple spending on the U.S. transmission system since 2000 to about $40 billion annually, according to Department of Energy data.
Billions more will be spent, with costs passed on to consumers, but those efforts won’t keep up with problems from climate change, von Meier said. “Rates will go up, reliability will go down,” she said.
CALIFORNIA
In California, widespread anger erupted in recent years as utilities such as Pacific Gas and Electric Co. imposed deliberate power outages to guard against wildfires.
Almost 200 California wildfires over the past decade were traced to downed power lines that ignited trees or brush, including a record 41 blazes in 2021. Among them was a 2018 fire that ripped through the Sierra Nevada foothills town of Paradise and killed 85 people, resulting in criminal involuntary manslaughter convictions of PG&E. Another fire blamed on PG&E last year burned almost 1 million acres (390,000 hectares), 1,300 buildings and much of the Sierra Nevada town of Greenville.
Now when wind storms are forecast and the landscape is dry, utilities cut off power to hundreds of thousands of customers, sometimes for multiple days, to reduce fire risk.
Beyond closing businesses and causing food to spoil in refrigerators, outages can be life-threatening for people with health conditions whose medical equipment requires electricity.
An AP review of utility filings with California regulators found nearly 160,000 instances of power shutoffs to customers with medical needs from 2017 to 2021. PG&E was responsible for more than 80%.
“We know there has been a trade-off between safety and reliability,” said PG&E Vice President Sumeet Singh. He said shutoffs were a last resort to guard against fires and that the company has reduced the number of people affected through better forecasting of hazardous weather and more localized shutdowns.
Richard Skaff, a paraplegic who is an advocate for the disabled in Northern California, said he has endured two forced outages each lasting five days over the past several years. He was fortunate to have a generator to keep his electric wheelchair powered and his house heated, but said many others with disabilities live on minimal incomes and struggle to get by during outages.
“If we’re going to allow PG&E and others to de-energize the grid, if we accept that as a concept, you have to look at the implications of that first,” Skaff said. “You have to determine the effects on the most vulnerable people."
PG&E and other utilities have sought to lessen the impacts by notifying people with needs in advance of shutoffs and setting up response centers where they can charge their phones or other essential devices.
Utilities also have started creating “microgrids” — local electrical networks that can disconnect from the main grid and operate independently to reduce the scope of shutoffs.
“We're very sensitive to the needs of our customers," said Southern California Edison Vice President Erik Takayesu. “We run risk calculations to ensure we’re making the right decisions. But it's really hard ... Each individual customer will have their own individual experience. The best we can do is help the customer prepare.”
The state utilities commission and some local officials have said the industry's efforts are insufficient for outages that can cover large portions of the state and affect numerous towns and cities.
By the end of this year, PG&E and Southern California Edison expect to have spent almost $20 billion since 2020 on wildfire prevention. The companies are cutting back vegetation near their equipment and putting up stronger power lines. PG&E plans to bury 10,000 miles (16,000 kilometers) of lines over 10 years so they won't be exposed to falling trees.
PG&E's customers paid on average almost $140 more last year versus the previous year to avert wildfires from their operations.
Rising electric bills because of extreme weather have outsized impact on low income households and communities of color, said John Howat, a senior energy analyst at National Consumer Law Center. These communities devote a higher proportion of their income to home energy bills, so they get hit harder than wealthier households.
Since it will take utilities many years to carry out their wildfire prevention efforts, companies will continue to use forced shutoffs to protect against wildfires.
The intentional outages help utilities avoid liability for deadly wildfires, but they amount to recurring crises for power customers who are disabled, elderly or with special needs, said Aaron Carruthers, executive director of the California State Council on Developmental Disabilities.
Unless more is done to prepare needy communities, shutoffs will continue to put lives at risk, threaten people's health and leave vulnerable people scared, Carruthers said.
Gabriela Madrigal, a 34-year-old Santa Barbara resident who needs a powered wheelchair to get around, said she's endured perhaps a dozen preventive shutoffs by Southern California Edison over the past several years.
Madrigal — who has a debilitating, neurological condition called spina bifida — lives in low-income city housing with her mother, who is her primary caregiver.
Each time the power blinks out, it catches them off guard, Madrigal said. When the outages last hours or days, her wheelchair goes dead. The chair weighs several hundred pounds with Madrigal in it, and her mother has trouble moving it.
So when the power goes off and no one else is around to help, “we're pretty much stuck,” Madrigal said. “It takes a toll on someone.”

https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/Storms-batter-aging-power-grid-as-climate-17060281.php | Power outages from severe weather have doubled over the past two decades across the U.S., as a warming climate stirs more destructive storms that cripple broad segments of the nation’s aging electrical grid, according to an Associated Press analysis of government data.
Forty states are experiencing longer outages — and the problem is most acute in regions seeing more extreme weather, U.S. Department of Energy data shows. The blackouts can be harmful and even deadly for the elderly, disabled and other vulnerable communities.
Power grid maintenance expenses are skyrocketing as utilities upgrade decades-old transmission lines and equipment. And that means customers who are hit with more frequent and longer weather outages also are paying more for electricity.
“The electric grid is our early warning,” said University of California, Berkeley grid expert Alexandra von Meier. “Climate change is here and we’re feeling real effects.”
The AP analysis found:
—The number of outages tied to severe weather rose from about 50 annually nationwide in the early 2000s to more than 100 annually on average over the past five years.
—The frequency and length of power failures are at their highest levels since reliability tracking began in 2013 — with U.S. customers on average experiencing more than eight hours of outages in 2020.
—Maine, Louisiana and California each experienced at least a 50% increase in outage duration even as residents endured mounting interruption costs over the past several years.
—In California alone, power losses have affected tens of thousands of people who rely on electricity for medical needs.
The AP analyzed electricity disturbance data submitted by utilities to the U.S. Department of Energy to identify weather-related outages. The analysis also examined utility-level data covering outages of more than five minutes, including how long they lasted and how often they occurred. Department officials declined comment.
Driving the increasingly commonplace blackouts are weather disasters now rolling across the country with seasonal consistency.
Winter storms called nor'easters barrel into New England and shred decrepit electrical networks. Hot summers spawn hurricanes that pound the Gulf Coast and Eastern Seaboard, plunging communities into the dark, sometimes for months. And in fall, West Coast windstorms trigger forced power shutoffs across huge areas to protect against deadly wildfires from downed equipment.
MAINE
The power grid's fragility hit home for Lynn Mason Courtney, 78, a blind cancer survivor living in a retirement community in Bethel, Maine, a rural town of 2,500 along the Androscoggin River.
When Courtney's building lost power and heat for three days following a 2020 winter storm, the temperature inside fell to 42 degrees (6 degrees Celsius). Extended loss of heat isn’t something most people are prepared for in a cold state such as Maine, she said, and one resident relied on old camping gear to try to keep warm.
"I developed hypothermia. I was dehydrated,” Courtney said. “Two people on oxygen had nowhere to go. They just stayed in the apartment and hoped like hell that the power would come back on.”
Winter storms left more than 500,000 without power in Maine in 2017 — more than a third of the state’s population. And in recent years, the state has seen record numbers of weather-related interruptions. The state never recorded more than five per year until 2018, but in 2020 it had 12, AP's analysis found.

Madrigal — who has a debilitating, neurological condition called spina bifida — lives in low-income city housing with her mother, who is her primary caregiver.
Each time the power blinks out, it catches them off guard, Madrigal said. When the outages last hours or days, her wheelchair goes dead. The chair weighs several hundred pounds with Madrigal in it, and her mother has trouble moving it.
So when the power goes off and no one else is around to help, “we're pretty much stuck,” Madrigal said. “It takes a toll on someone.”

https://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/Sri-Lankan-president-revokes-emergency-amid-17060356.php | COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — Sri Lanka's president revoked a days-old state of emergency after huge public protests demanded he resign over the country's worst economic crisis in memory.
President Gotabaya Rajapaksa has resisted the calls even after governing party lawmakers said an interim government should replace his and failing to do so would make them responsible for violence.
The decree Rajapaksa issued Tuesday night said he revoked emergency orders that had given him sweeping authority to act in the interests of public security and preserving public order, including suspending any laws, authorizing detentions and seizing property.
Rajapaksa had declared the emergency last week after crowds of protesters demonstrated near his home in the capital Colombo. The protests initially began over shortages of essentials such as cooking gas, petrol, electricity and milk powder. They have spread to every part of the Indian Ocean island nation and now the demonstrators are demanding the resignation of Rajapaksa and his government.
TV and social media images from Monday showed protesters stormed into the offices and houses of ruling party lawmakers and vandalized some premises. On Tuesday, lawmakers at the first new Parliament session since the protests flared asked the speaker to ensure their safety.
The president and his older brother, Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa, continue to hold power in Sri Lanka, despite their politically powerful family being the focus of public ire.
The Cabinet resigned Sunday night, and Rajapaksa invited all parties to join a unity government, but the main opposition party rejected the proposal. On Tuesday, nearly 40 governing coalition lawmakers said they would no longer vote according to coalition instructions, significantly weakening the government.
Sri Lanka has huge debts and dwindling foreign reserves, leaving it unable to pay for imported goods.
For several months, Sri Lankans have endured long lines to buy fuel, foods and medicines, most of which comes from abroad and is paid for in hard currency. The fuel shortage, along with lower hydropower capacity in dry weather, has caused rolling power cuts lasting hours each day.

April 06, 2022 09:01 ISTHere are the latest developments from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict
Ahead of the ‘2+2’ dialogue, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar on Tuesday spoke to U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and discussed the latest developments in Ukraine.
India condemned the killing of civilians in Bucha, Ukraine, at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) on Monday, calling for an independent U.N. inquiry.
The United States announced Tuesday it will send $100 million in additional anti-armor weapons to Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said French President Emmanuel Macron has agreed to provide technical and expert support for an investigation into crimes committed by Russian troops in Bucha and elsewhere.
Mr. Zelenskyy told the UN Security Council on Tuesday that the atrocities committed by Russian troops are no different from terrorists like the Islamic State extremists as he demanded immediate action to bring the Kremlin’s forces to justice for “war crimes”.
The conflict began escalating on February 21, 2022, after Russian President Vladimir Putin recognised separatist regions in eastern Ukraine and deployed troops in a peacekeeping role.
Here are the latest updates
U.S. to ban ‘all new investment’ in Russia on Wednesday: source
The United States, in coordination with the G7 and European Union, will ban “all” new investments in Russia on Wednesday in its latest round of sanctions, a source said.
The joint measures, in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and alleged carrying out of atrocities, “will include a ban on all new investment in Russia, increased sanctions on financial institutions and state-owned enterprises in Russia, and sanctions on Russian government officials and their family members,” the source familiar with the sanctions told AFP Tuesday. -AFP
Twitter moves to limit reach of Russian govt accounts
Twitter announced Tuesday it was introducing new measures against Russian government accounts to reduce the impact of official propaganda on the social network.
The official accounts will no longer be “recommended” to Twitter users across all categories of the app, including in searches, the platform said in a statement. -AFP
Finland boosts defence spending by 2 bn euros over Ukraine
Finland announced Tuesday it would increase its military spending by more than two billion euros over the next four years, saying the decision was spurred on by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The decision to increase the defence budget follows unusually short budget negotiations in the Nordic country that shares Europe’s longest land border with Russia.
“The war in Europe has fundamentally changed our security environment,” Defence Minister Antti Kaikkonen said in a statement. -AFP
New Zealand introduces new sanctions, tariffs on Russian imports
The New Zealand government said on Wednesday it was introducing a 35% tariff on all imports from Russia and would extend existing export prohibitions to industrial products closely connected to strategic Russian industries.

Intel suspends business operations in Russia
Intel Corp is suspending all business operations in Russia, effective immediately, the U.S. chipmaker said on Tuesday, adding that it has implemented business continuity measures to minimize disruption to its global operations.

EU allies expel over 200 Russian diplomats, staff
EU nations expelled dozens more Russian diplomats Tuesday amid increasing outrage over the Ukraine conflict, in coordinated moves that have seen more than 200 envoys and staff sent home in 48 hours.
After Germany and France announced around 75 expulsions between them Monday, countries including Italy, Spain and Slovenia followed suit Tuesday -- while the European Union itself declared “persona non grata” a group of Russian officials working with its institutions. -AFP
Russia’s Lavrov says Bucha war crime claims aim to ‘torpedo’ Ukraine talks
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Tuesday said the discovery of bodies in the Ukrainian town of Bucha was a “provocation” aimed at scuppering talks between Moscow and Kyiv.
“A question arises: What purpose does this blatantly untruthful provocation serve? We are led to believe it is to find a pretext to torpedo the ongoing negotiations,” Lavrov said in a video message broadcast on Russian television. -AFP | 0 | 77,026 | 0.105571 | https://www.thehindu.com/news/international/ukraine-russia-crisis-live-updates-april-6-2022/article65295289.ece | 2022-04-06 04:45:20+00:00 | Russia-Ukraine crisis live updates | Twitter moves to limit reach of Russian govt accounts

The U.S. and its allies plan to add additional sanctions on Russia over evidence that civilians have been intentionally killed in Bucha, Ukraine and other cities. The U.S. sanctions will include a ban on new investments in Russia.
The U.S and its allies plan to pile additional sanctions on Russia Wednesday, including banning any new investments in the county because of evidence Russia is intentionally killing civilians in Bucha and other Ukrainian cities, the White House said Tuesday.
Among the other measures being taken against Russia are greater sanctions on its financial institutions and state-owned enterprises, and sanctions on government officials and their family members, according to White House press secretary Jen Psaki.
"The goal is to force them to make a choice,” she said. “The biggest part of our objective here is to deplete the resources that Putin has to continue his war against Ukraine.”
The U.S. Treasury Department also plans to block Russia from using U.S. dollars to make debt payments.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, while speaking to the United Nations Security Council Tuesday, accused Russia of the worst war crimes since World War II.
He said that the Russian army had tortured and killed civilians. "They killed entire families, adults and children, and they tried to burn the bodies,” he said while calling for those responsible to be tried for war crimes.
Graphic images appearing to show the atrocities Zelenskyy detailed in Bucha and other cities have led to a worldwide outcry.
Associated Press journalists in Bucha have counted dozens of corpses in civilian clothes and interviewed Ukrainians who told of witnessing atrocities. Also, high-resolution satellite imagery from Maxar Technologies showed that many of the bodies had been lying in the open for weeks, during the time that Russian forces were in the town.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
National security correspondent Jennifer Griffin has the latest from the Pentagon on 'Special Report.'
The United States will send an additional $100 million worth of Javelin anti-tank missiles to Ukraine as the country's war with Russia continues, Fox News has learned.
"Today, the Biden Administration authorized an additional Presidential Drawdown of security assistance valued at up to an additional $100 million to meet an urgent Ukrainian need for additional Javelin anti-armor systems, which the United States has been providing to Ukraine and they have been using so effectively to defend their country," said Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
"I have authorized, pursuant to a delegation from the President earlier today, the immediate drawdown of security assistance valued at up to $100 million to meet Ukraine’s urgent need for additional anti-armor systems," Blinken said. "This authorization is the sixth drawdown of arms, equipment, and supplies from Department of Defense inventories for Ukraine since August 2021."

The joint measures, in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and alleged carrying out of atrocities, “will include a ban on all new investment in Russia, increased sanctions on financial institutions and state-owned enterprises in Russia, and sanctions on Russian government officials and their family members,” the source familiar with the sanctions told AFP Tuesday. -AFP
Twitter moves to limit reach of Russian govt accounts

Finland boosts defence spending by 2 bn euros over Ukraine
Finland announced Tuesday it would increase its military spending by more than two billion euros over the next four years, saying the decision was spurred on by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The decision to increase the defence budget follows unusually short budget negotiations in the Nordic country that shares Europe’s longest land border with Russia.
“The war in Europe has fundamentally changed our security environment,” Defence Minister Antti Kaikkonen said in a statement. -AFP
New Zealand introduces new sanctions, tariffs on Russian imports
The New Zealand government said on Wednesday it was introducing a 35% tariff on all imports from Russia and would extend existing export prohibitions to industrial products closely connected to strategic Russian industries.
“The images and reports emerging of atrocities committed against civilians in Bucha and other regions of Ukraine is abhorrent and reprehensible, and New Zealand continues to respond to Putin’s mindless acts of aggression,” Foreign Minister Nanaia Mahuta said in a statement. -Reuters
Intel suspends business operations in Russia
Intel Corp is suspending all business operations in Russia, effective immediately, the U.S. chipmaker said on Tuesday, adding that it has implemented business continuity measures to minimize disruption to its global operations.

EU allies expel over 200 Russian diplomats, staff
EU nations expelled dozens more Russian diplomats Tuesday amid increasing outrage over the Ukraine conflict, in coordinated moves that have seen more than 200 envoys and staff sent home in 48 hours.
After Germany and France announced around 75 expulsions between them Monday, countries including Italy, Spain and Slovenia followed suit Tuesday -- while the European Union itself declared “persona non grata” a group of Russian officials working with its institutions. -AFP
Russia’s Lavrov says Bucha war crime claims aim to ‘torpedo’ Ukraine talks
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Tuesday said the discovery of bodies in the Ukrainian town of Bucha was a “provocation” aimed at scuppering talks between Moscow and Kyiv.
“A question arises: What purpose does this blatantly untruthful provocation serve? We are led to believe it is to find a pretext to torpedo the ongoing negotiations,” Lavrov said in a video message broadcast on Russian television. -AFP | 2 | 109,256 | 0.641517 | https://www.business-standard.com/article/international/how-the-us-plans-to-starve-russia-s-war-machine-treasury-s-adeyemo-122040800260_1.html | 2022-04-08 06:02:48+00:00 | -

The United States and its allies have "a lot more that we can and we will do" to punish Moscow if Russia fails to halt its invasion, Adeyemo told Reuters in an interview.
The United States is ramping up sanctions against Russia to deprive Moscow's "war machine" of money and components needed to sustain its invasion of Ukraine, but curbing a main source of funding, Russian energy exports, will take time, U.S. Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo told Reuters on Thursday.
The United States and its allies have "a lot more that we can and we will do" to punish Moscow if Russia fails to halt its invasion, Adeyemo told Reuters in an interview.
Ukrainian leaders called on Thursday for the democratic world to stop buying Russian oil and gas, and cut Russian banks entirely from the international financial system.
After an initial drive to freeze Russian assets, Washington and its allies announced incremental steps this week as they approach the limit of sanctions to punish Russia without also causing economic pain at home.
A new investment ban announced on Wednesday by President Joe Biden forbids Americans from investing in Russian firms' equity and debt and investment funds, cutting off Russia's defense industry and other sectors from the world's biggest source of investment capital, Adeyemo said.
"What this means is that Russia will be deprived of the capital it needs to build up its economy, but also to invest in its war machine," Adeyemo said.
Asked whether it would prohibit companies already in Russia from further funding those operations, he said Treasury was consulting with the private sector.
Kremlin officials, who have described their actions in Ukraine as a "special military operation" have insisted that Western sanctions will not have any effect on their goals and will solidify Russian support.
Adeyemo said the United States and its European allies will target Russian military supply chains to deny access to key components - "things that are important to building their tanks, to supplying missiles and making sure that they have fewer resources" to fight the war in Ukraine but also to project power in the future.
"I think the impact will be immediate in the same way the impact on the economy has been immediate" from prior sanctions, Adeyemo said. Russia's economy is headed for a 10% contraction this year and inflation is approaching 20%, U.S. officials estimate.
The Treasury later on Thursday put Russian diamond miner Alrosa on its sanctions blacklist, while the U.S. State Department did the same for United Shipbuilding Corp, a state firm building naval ships and submarines and its subsidiaries and board members.
White House Economic Council director Brian Deese said on Wednesday that the Biden administration also would ban transactions with United Aircraft Corp, the maker of Sukhoi and MiG fighter jets -- planes that are also flown by U.S. allies including some NATO members.
Adeyemo said Russia's defense sector since 2014 has set up front companies to acquire critical supplies and materials to build up Moscow's military. A number of these firms were targeted by sanctions https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy0677 last month.
ROUBLE SUPPORT DRAINS WAR FUNDS
Financial sanctions have forced Russia to spend more of its hard-currency energy revenues to defend its rouble currency, Adeyemo said, eating into funds available for the war effort.
After losing 45% of its value against the dollar in the first two weeks of the Ukraine invasion, the Russian rouble has risen to just below its pre-war level, thanks to capital controls by Moscow and distortion by the Russian central bank, U.S. officials say.
"What that means is that Russia has less money and the president is forced to make choices between propping up the economy and investing in the war in Ukraine," he said.
Adeyemo said his meetings last week with European allies in London, Brussels, Paris and Berlin helped focused on next steps and helped to accelerate the sanctions announced on Wednesday.
Adeyemo said he was encouraged by "strong statements" from European countries about reducing their dependence on Russian energy but said the continent was in a different position from the United States, the world's top oil producer.
"Because of our ability to produce energy at home, we were able to ban the Russian import of oil to America rather quickly," he said. "It's going to take them more time but what they're doing is they're reducing their dependence over time."
