Silversea Cruises has officially named its third ship in the last nine months, with Silver Dawn welcomed into the fleet in Lisbon, Portugal, on March 31. The formal ceremony included dignitaries, music, blessings, speeches, and the traditional champagne bottle.
Silver Dawn Christened
The very traditional ceremony aboard Silver Dawn had all the hallmarks of a cruise ship christening, including the national anthems of the U.S., Italy, and Portugal; Royal Caribbean Group’s customary bagpipe performance; and the presence of executives from Royal Caribbean Group, Silversea Cruises, and Fincantieri, as well as local officials.
“Celebrating the naming of Silver Dawn in Lisbon marked an incredibly proud moment for all involved,” said Jason Liberty, President and CEO of Royal Caribbean Group. “I thank and congratulate Roberto Martinoli and our entire team, including Captain Failla and the crew, as well as everyone at Fincantieri, our ship building partners.”
The ship’s godmother, Emmy-nominated television personality and former editor-in-chief of some of the world’s leading culinary brands, Nilou Motamed, cut the ribbon to release the bottle of champagne to smash against the ship’s hull.
“It’s a great honour to have been selected as the Godmother of Silver Dawn and to have been on board for her naming ceremony in Lisbon,” said Motamed.
Motamed, who was born in Iran and raised in Paris and New York, is fluent in four languages and believes “food is a language of its own, one in which everyone can find comfort, compassion, and community.” Her passion for culinary adventures and global cuisines has found a perfect match in Silversea’s S.A.L.T. program, which first debuted in 2021.
“I’ve dedicated my career to celebrating authentic, local cuisines and cultures. For me, nothing is more rewarding than connecting with people over a shared meal,” said Motamed.
S.A.L.T. is the cruise line’s “Sea And Land Taste” gastronomic experience, offering menus sourced from local ingredients and prepared with respect to local traditions. From market trips and special dinners in the S.A.L.T. restaurant to cooking demos with local guest chefs in the cooking lab, S.A.L.T. takes travelers further than ever before in destination experiences and exquisite dining, connecting ports more intimately to dining on every level.
New Experiences for a New Ship
The third of the Muse-class ships, Silver Dawn is the next ship in the cruise line’s rapid expansion, and she not only expands the fleet, but also brings new offerings to the Silversea Cruises’ guests.
Debuting aboard Silver Dawn is the new Otium wellness program, the only wellness program at sea that includes a gourmet room service menu, signature cocktails, in-suite experiences, and a wellness journey extending throughout the ship.

The program is built on principles of indulgence, pleasure, and pampering, grounded in the philosophy and traditions of the ancient Roman lifestyle. Silver Dawn’s spa has been completely redesigned for a more seamless wellness journey, indulging all the senses and incorporating architectural details, calming colors, gentle lighting, textured murals, and more to evoke a complete sense of relaxation.
Maiden Voyage Underway
Silver Dawn departs on her maiden voyage on April 1, sailing from Lisbon on a 17-day repositioning voyage to Rome, visiting spectacular ports such as Cadiz, Cartagena, Valencia, Marseilles, Saint-Tropez, Genoa, and Monte Carlo along the way.
The 40,700-gross-ton ship offers intimate experiences in luxury cruising for 575-700 passengers, with 408 crew members providing exemplary service.
After her maiden voyage, Silver Dawn will offer a variety of Mediterranean itineraries before moving to the Caribbean in early December.

No, your reading comprehension has not receded, former San Francisco 49ers star wide receiver (and 2018 inductee into the Pro Football Hall of Fame) Terrell Owens is coming out of retirement to play pro football. According to a report by Reuters Sports Editor Frank Pingue, Owens is joining the FCF Zappers of the Fan Controlled Football league.
Owens is 48 years old and has not played in a regular-season NFL game since he tore his ACL during the 2011 offseason. During the prior season, though, Owens put up a respectable statline, hauling in 72 receptions for 983 receiving yards and nine receiving touchdowns with the Cincinnati Bengals.
Already 37 when he tore his ACL, most assumed that Owens’ playing days were done. However, Owens had different ideas. Always credited for an incredible ability to take care of his body and stay in shape, Owens held a workout for NFL teams just seven months after his injury, but no teams showed interest at the time.
Still, that did not stop him. Owens signed with the Allen Wrangles or the Indoor Football League in January of 2012, where he recorded 35 catches, 420 receiving yards, and 10 receiving touchdowns before he was released. He signed with the Seattle Seahawks a few months later but was cut from their training camp roster after less than a month. In the decade since Owens has popped up in Canadian Football League rumors from time to time and even played in a startup Flag Football League.
Owens was drafted by the 49ers in the third round of the 1996 NFL Draft out of Chattanooga, and he quickly proved to be one of the best receivers on the team. Before long, he was earning Pro Bowl and All-Pro selections with the Niners’ electric offense, helmed by quarterback Jeff Garcia.
Unfortunately, things eventually soured between Owens and the organization (primarily because of former head coach Steve Mariucci). The star receiver ultimately forced a trade to the Philadelphia Eagles, but not before he racked up more than 8500 receiving yards and 80 touchdowns in a Niner uniform. In 2019, Owens was inducted into the 49ers Hall of Fame.
The Fan Controlled Football league is a 2017 startup where teams play 7-on-7 indoor football in two 20-minute halves. A live fan vote determines all offensive plays (and replay reviews). Assuming Owens joins the Zappers, he will be teaming up with one of the league’s biggest stars: former Texas A&M and Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel. Hopefully, Owens and the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner team up for some memorable celebrations.
So 2022 continues going just as everyone expected. After all, why wouldn’t Johnny Manziel be slinging passes to Terrell Owens in a pro football league where fans call the plays?

There are many tentpole events of the NFL offseason. The start of free agency is one. The draft is another. For me, one of the best days of the year is the day the 2022 win totals are released.
According to our friends at DraftKings Sportsbook, the win total for the 49ers this season is ten games. Interestingly enough, the odds line for both the over and under bets is negative, which to me reflects the volatility we could see at quarterback (over is -115 and under is -105).
Because Trey Lance only started two games last year, he’s an unknown quantity at the game’s most important position, so Vegas is planning for both outcomes. For anyone who doesn’t know, -115 means you have to bet $115 to win $100. It also means that they see the over as the more likely scenario in 2022.
In terms of the NFC West as a whole, the Rams have the division’s highest win total at 10.5 games, followed by the 49ers at 10, the Cardinals at 9, and the Seahawks in last at 6 (and damn if it doesn’t feel good to see that).
Zooming out to the NFC as a whole, the 49ers with the fifth-highest win total in the conference. The Buccaneers are first at 11.5 (thank you very much, Tom Brady). The Packers are next at 11, and the Rams and Cowboys are tied at 10.5.
In terms of the league as a whole, the Bills are also tied with Tampa Bay for the highest total at 11.5. The Houston Texans have the dubious distinction of having the lowest over/under total at just 4.5 games.

It’s that time of year again when we bring the annual Niners Nation community Mock Draft back. We go through a complete seven-round mock for those of you that are new.
Here’s how it works:
Niners Nation readers get together each year and do a mock community draft for ALL SEVEN rounds for all 32 teams in order as per the real NFL draft. Each person is assigned one (sometimes more depending on numbers) team and drafts for all of their respective picks.
Only one of you gets to select the pick for the Niners. There are no trades. None. Zero. Zilch.
We’ll create a Google spreadsheet for viewing purposes that way, each participant can see who has been picked and who is available. The spreadsheet will also include a cumulative big board of all draft-eligible players. That way, when we get down to the 200s, you know who to pick.
If you have the bandwidth to run this year’s mock draft, please email me on Twitter. If we don’t have enough teams, I’ll join, but I don’t think that’ll be an issue. If I have to end up running the show, that’s fine. If that’s the case, I’ll send emails featuring five teams at a time to let you know when your pick is on the clock, or you’re close. Once you’re on the clock, you’ll have five hours to respond to that initial email.
I ask that each team sends me their top prospective players for each pick. For example, if you miss Robert Saleh and are selecting No. 4 overall for the New York Jets, you would send me/whoever is running the team an email that looks something like this:
- Kayvon Thibodeaux, EDGE, Oregon
- Derek Stingley, CB, LSU
- Travon Walker EDGE Georgia
- Ahmad Gardner, CB, Cincinnati
So, hypothetically speaking, if the teams in front of the Jets take other positional players and Thibodeaux, I’d select Stingley since that’s your best available player.
I'll need five players if you’re picking fifth in the email. If you’re third, I’ll need three, and so on. After each pick is made, I will update the spreadsheet and send out an email reminder to each participant in your cluster of who the pick was and who is “on the clock”.
You will send that email in a ”Reply All” to everyone in the 5-team cluster, so they know that the pick has been submitted. After the team before you picks, I will send you a reminder email, and you can submit your official pick.
If I haven’t heard from you within about five hours, I’m going with next up on your list or making the pick for you. This is not ideal and not something that I want to do. If you sign up for a team, please understand that this is a commitment, and the expectation is that you see this through until all seven rounds.
This is a lot of time, and the last thing I/whoever is in charge wants to do is chase down people to see if they are going to make a selection or not. Real-life can get in the way. We understand that. But keep in mind there are 31 other people involved, and the smoother this runs, the quicker it’s over.
I would also like you to submit a rationale for each pick, detailing briefly who the player is and why you selected them. Rationale emails should be submitted like this:
- Pick No. 4: Jets select: Kayvon Thibodeaux, EDGE, Oregon.
Saleh saw how well the 49ers had it when they built their defense through the trenches, and pairing Thibs with Carl Lawson gives the Jets a formidable edge duo for the foreseeable future. (100-word maximum limit on rationale).
Remember, we’re going seven rounds here! Just a sentence or two will suffice as we get into the later rounds. But if you don’t think you’ll be able to provide at least something of a rationale for each pick, again, it’s better not to volunteer for the exercise.
As it gets rolling, it will make more sense. A few of the regulars will likely be involved again, so it’ll hopefully run smoothly. If you have any questions, drop me an email!
My email is kyle.posey@sbnation.com.
Please email me (from the preferred email address you will be using in the NN Community Mock Draft communication process) with your Niners Nation username and a list of every team that you would like to draft for. At least three teams, please. If you don’t mind who you draft for (thank you!), just your NN username is fine.
I cannot guarantee you will get your first choice; I can’t even 100% guarantee you’ll get a team on your list, but I will try and be as fair as possible. This will operate on a first-come, first-served basis.
If you are interested in being in charge of the community draft, please let me know in your email, and I will hand you the reigns. We need 32 teams. Let the bidding begin!

(NEXSTAR) – For many, springtime can mean a return of seasonal allergies. But how can you tell if it’s pollen or the latest COVID-19 variants that’s making you sneeze?
The most common symptoms associated with the omicron variant (which makes up nearly all COVID-19 cases in the U.S. right now) are runny nose, headache, fatigue, sneezing and sore throat, according to the ZOE Covid Study, which has been tracking COVID-19 symptoms in the United Kingdom.
Some of those symptoms overlap with allergies, which can make it confusing (and stressful) when you start to feel bad.
The best way to answer the question of whether you have the coronavirus or just allergies is to take a COVID test – either a rapid at-home test or a PCR test at a testing location.
While you wait for your results, you can also compare the most common symptoms of allergies and COVID-19, as explained by the Mayo Clinic:
You could also have a common cold or the flu. For more on those possibilities, check out the Mayo Clinic’s breakdown of symptoms.
The symptoms of omicron made it harder to distinguish from other ailments than previous variants of the virus, like delta. The loss of smell or taste, for example, used to be a sure sign you had the coronavirus, but was found to be much less common with omicron.
People vaccinated against COVID-19 are also more likely to experience cold-like symptoms with an omicron infection, whereas unvaccinated people are more likely to report flu-like symptoms and shortness of breath.
In the U.S., the BA.2 subvariant of omicron has started to overtake the BA.1 type of omicron that caused the recent winter surge, but both types of omicron cause the same symptoms.

(The Hill) — A study published on Thursday found that pregnancy nearly doubles the risk of breakthrough COVID-19 cases, closely followed in risk by a solid organ transplant.
The study conducted by Wisconsin-based company Epic found that among the comorbidities that increase the risk of a breakthrough COVID-19 infection, pregnancy increased this risk the most by 1.91 times, which analyzed data from over 140 million patients from 161 of the company’s organizations.
Individuals were 1.83 times more likely to have a breakthrough COVID-19 infection if they had a solid organ transplant; those with an immune system deficiency were 1.63 times more at risk, according to the study.
Other comorbidities that increased the risk of a breakthrough infection, though to a lesser degree, included those who had kidney disease, liver disease or mental health issues, among others.
“… we did not find that cancer or Down syndrome increased the risk of breakthrough infection. This is consistent with other research on the rates of COVID-19 in populations with cancer versus populations without,” the study said.
“These findings support the CDC’s recommendation that patients with a high-risk comorbidity may need to use enhanced infection prevention control beyond vaccination to minimize the risk of a COVID-19 breakthrough infection.”
The development comes more than two years since the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the coronavirus a pandemic.

New Delhi: The Indian Davis Cup team was on Thursday drawn to meet Norway in its next World Group I tie, an away contest which will clash with the Asian Games in September.
The Davis Cup tie will be held either on September 16-17 or 17-18 while tennis event at the Asian Games are scheduled to be held from September 10-14.
Even if the Indian players complete their Asian Games engagement by April 14, it will be practically difficult to reach Norway for the tie since the players need to acclimatise before they take to the courts.
It is going to be a challenge for the All India Tennis Association (AITA) to ensure that the country is represented in both the events.
"We and the Asian Tennis Federation had spoken to ITF about his since 12 Asian countries are going to be affected by this. We had asked for a change in date but they did not agree, so we are filing an appeal to the ITF," AITA Secretary General Anil Dhupar told PTI.
"We want to play both the events and so do other nations. Pakistan is also filing a separate appeal. Let's see."
India and Norway, who have world No. 8 Casper Ruud in their ranks, have never clashed in the history of Davis Cup.
Their next best player is Viktor Durasovic, who is placed 329 in singles ATP chart.
"Every tie at this level is tough and when it is an away tie, it is a different challenge. It is too early to see if the draw is good for us. There is still a lot of time before the tie," said Indian coach Zeeshan Ali.

This week’s episode features highlights of a discussion involving Michael Sorrell, Michelle Weise and Bridget Burns.
This week’s episode explores how the upheaval of the last two years has altered one futurist’s outlook of what’s ahead for higher education.
How has the COVID-19 pandemic and the other upheaval of the last couple of years changed the outlook for colleges, their students and their employees? Bryan Alexander is a writer, author, teacher and “futurist.” He wrote the 2020 book Academia Next and hosts his own series of video conversations, The Future Trends Forum.
In this week’s episode of The Key podcast, he first explains the work of professional futurists, and how they differ from other kinds of analysts who operate as if they owned crystal balls. Then Alexander explores a wide range of topics about how the COVID-19 pandemic, the drive for racial justice and other recent phenomena might affect the next few years in higher education, touching on technology, the curriculum, and his current focus, environmental sustainability.

Another weekend is upon us. COVID-19 infection rates have fallen to a new low, and the CDC is no longer recommending masks, as long as a county has low hospitalization rates. For those who want to venture out, we've put together a list of five things you could do this weekend right here in Hardin County. Stay healthy, and have a great weekend.
Pick up dinner at the Moose
The Moose Lodge in Iowa Falls will serve a fish fry meal today from 5 to 7 p.m. The meal is available through curbside service. It includes fried fish, French fries and baked beans. The cost is $10 per meal. The lodge is located at 11350 Hwy. 65 on the north edge of Iowa Falls.
Spaghetti dinner will benefit Pony Express
Have breakfast in Ackley
The Ackley-Geneva Lions Club will be hosting a pancake brunch on Sunday. The event will be held at the AGWSR High School commons from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The cost is a free will donation.
Talk politics in Iowa Falls
The Hardin County Democrats will gather for their monthly Pints and Politics event on Sunday. The event is held monthly, on the first Sunday, at the River Tap on Railroad Street in Iowa Falls, and always begins at 6 p.m. Guests are invited for food and drink (everyone pays their own bill) and good discussion.
Rest up before spring really arrives
We know it's already spring, but it hasn't felt like it this week. Why not embrace the cold? Have a movie day inside (local libraries have lots of films available), or dive into a book you've been wanting to read. Warm weather will be here soon enough. Relish these (hopefully) last days of cold weather.

One of the most universal human practices is the creation and maintenance of a junk drawer. It is a practice that spans all corners of the globe, cultures, genders, and it has endured for centuries.
The popularity of this practice intrigued me. Most people think that it is just something oddly inherited from their family—something to be keep quiet about and off social media like a wacky uncle.
While most people’s attention bounced from the war in Ukraine, to gas prices and finally Will Smith’s slap, I conducted a one-man poll to determine the who, what, when, and why of junk drawers.
My research found that junk drawers have been compared to time capsules, collections of marginal things, a place of chaos created by sweeping clutter into a hidden drawer, and even mosaics of our mental state. These are all valid observations.
When I spoke to people about junk drawers they usually smile and say, “I thought that my family was the only one that did this.” It is almost therapeutic for people to realize they are not alone.
Some people have multiple junk drawers, one colleague said her entire home could qualify. Many have multiple drawers, closets, guest rooms, and even garages that fit the bill.
A popular television show American Pickers delves into this phenomenon and people are riveted.
Searching through other people’s junk collections can even be profitable.
Sometimes historical items are found next to the hysterical items in a junk drawer. I offer this
cautionary tale from Stirling Rasmussen, a docent at the National Museum of the Marine Corps. This account is related to Marine Corps legend Sergeant Major Dan Daly, hero of the Battle of Belleau Wood in World War I.
“Dan Daly’s replacement Medals of Honor were found in his sister’s junk drawer. When I tell this to tour groups at the museum, I precede it by asking if they have a junk drawer. Everyone seems to have one.
After the story I suggest that when they get home, they check it,” said Rasmussen.
Friends from England, Scotland, France, and multiple Caribbean islands all reported the existence of junk drawers in their nations. Different names maybe, but the same thing.
I had always thought the junk drawer was a southern practice---like being nice when you are being mean. Not so, northerners love them as well.
Mary Norton, a friend from Spartansburg, Pennsylvania told me her mother always said, “If you don’t have a junk drawer, every drawer in your home will be junky.”
In this exploration I also had to come to grips with my own junk drawer located in my kitchen aisle. It is a drawer that fits the bill as a classic junk drawer. My wife calls it “your drawer”—she prefers the portable version of the junk drawer I call “her purse.”
I posted a cathartic photo of “my drawer” on social media. This was a risk. It was like stepping into a confessional or telling your family that you are fly-fishing curious.
Happily, I was not shamed or canceled.
My junk drawer included: Pens, zip ties, batteries, tools, a pamphlet on Florida fish, a couple menus, steel wire, a Fishburne Military School medal, stickers, tacks, crayons, a toy soldier, a San Cristobal cigar band, and a playing card with Aziz Salih Al-Numan, a regional commander in the Iraqi military. Who knew my drawer could be harboring such people?
Most frequently found items in junk drawers, according to my research:
Batteries (no idea whether they are charged), pens (with or without ink), old photos, receipts, business cards, rubber bands, tacks, glue, love notes, toys, vacation mementos, name tags, crayons, tools, to do lists, cake candles and menus.
One work colleague and friend, Donna Sheads, offered this conundrum of a statement.
“I organize my junk drawer,” she said with a laugh. “Maybe I have OCD.”
Sabrina, a friend from Richmond added this, “My junk drawer is a little peek into my life at this time. I feel like the junk drawer is a living, breathing thing that changes with you. It would be a neat project to photograph your junk drawer yearly and compare after about a decade or so. I imagine it would tell quite a story.”
In a world where we share photos of our food, kids, pets, fish, and vacations why not our beloved junk drawers? It is ok, everyone in the world has one and they are hilarious.

College in Illinois, named for Abraham Lincoln, will shutter on May 13. College blames COVID-19 and a cyberattack.
Lincoln College in Illinois will close on May 13, after 157 years of operating.
It is a small private college, with most recent enrollment figures of about 1,000.
“Lincoln College has survived many difficult and challenging times—the economic crisis of 1887, a major campus fire in 1912, the Spanish flu of 1918, the Great Depression, World War II, the 2008 global financial crisis, and more, but this is different,” said a statement from the college.
The statement said the college “experienced record-breaking student enrollment” in the fall of 2019. “Unfortunately, the coronavirus pandemic dramatically impacted recruitment and fundraising efforts, sporting events, and all campus life activities. The economic burdens initiated by the pandemic required large investments in technology and campus safety measures, as well as a significant drop in enrollment with students choosing to postpone college or take a leave of absence, which impacted the institution’s financial position.”
In addition, the college “was a victim of a cyberattack in December 2021 that thwarted admissions activities and hindered access to all institutional data, creating an unclear picture of fall 2022 enrollment projections. All systems required for recruitment, retention, and fundraising efforts were inoperable. Fortunately, no personal identifying information was exposed. Once fully restored in March 2022, the projections displayed significant enrollment shortfalls, requiring a transformational donation or partnership to sustain Lincoln College beyond the current semester.”
David Gerlach, the president, said, “Lincoln College has been serving students from across the globe for more than 157 years. The loss of history, careers, and a community of students and alumni is immense.”
Academic support and transitional services will be available to students through the remainder of the semester.
“Though we are experiencing undeniable grief and sadness, we find comfort in knowing Lincoln College has served generations of alumni who have undoubtedly impacted our world,” said Gerlach.
All of the college’s employees will be laid off May 13. Some employees will receive two months’ pay, according to WGLT, NPR Illinois.
A statement from State Senator Sally Turner and State Representative Tim Butler said, “Today’s unexpected and sudden closure announcement is devastating news for our local community. We both have had close family and friends who attended and graduated from Lincoln College, so we know just how special Lincoln is to its students and alumni. For more than 150 years, the namesake college of our 16th president has served as a higher educational pillar for central Illinois. It is painful to think that this historic institution will no longer be a part of our region.”

More than 100 landowners and concerned parties rallied against the use of eminent domain for a hazardous CO2 sequestration pipeline in the Iowa State Capitol rotunda on Tuesday, and Hardin County was well represented.
In all, eight Hardin County landowners make the trek to Des Moines to express their worries and feelings about the two proposed pipelines, one by Ames-based Summit Carbon Solutions and Texas-based Navigator Heartland Greenway - that would run through Hardin County.
Thank you to all who went to Des Moines to voice objections to these hazardous pipelines! Everyone who opposes the pipeline must get involved. The pipelines can be stopped if we work together. Your silence may be misinterpreted as approval by those who represent you. In Hardin County: oppose the pipelines to your Board of Supervisors, Senator Annette Sweeney and Representatives Pat Grassley and Dave Deyoe

Jehovah’s Witnesses congregations across the world including one on Rixeyville Road are being encouraged to begin holding in-person meetings during the week of April 1.
Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses can be found at at 15103 Rixeyville Road.
“While we have prospered in many ways as individuals and congregations using technology to bring us together, nothing can adequately replace being together in person," said said Robert Hendriks, U.S. Spokesman for Jehovah’s Witnesses. "We have longed for this moment for the better part of two years.”
The move back to in-person meetings coincides with two global events being held in all 120,000 congregations of Jehovah’s Witnesses. The first is a special lecture scheduled in most congregations for April 10, entitled, “Where Can You Find Real Hope?” and the annual commemoration of the death of Jesus Christ will be held on April 15.
For more information on Jehovah’s Witnesses go to jw.org.

Dumfries Mayor Derrick Wood announced his re-election campaign on March 26, setting up a contested election in November.
“I am overwhelmingly passionate about making the town of Dumfries a prosperous destination place, where people live, work, and play,” Wood said in a news release.
Wood is wrapping up his first four-year term as mayor after being elected with 73% of the vote in 2018.
A native of Silver Spring, Md., the 44-year-old Wood is a veteran of the United States Marine Corps. He has a bachelor's and master’s in business management from Stratford University.
Wood and his wife, Monique, run Divine BBQ In Motion, a mobile catering business.
Wood’s announcement came with the support of U.S. Rep. Gerry Connolly, who said “Derrick created the connection between the people who live here and the people who represent [the town]. He turned the town of Dumfries into a destination place not just for tourists but also for business.”
Wood is facing a challenge from activist Ebony Lofton.
Dumfries voters will pick a mayor and three members of Town Council in the November election. All positions are for four year-terms.

A canoe trip that began in 2003 on the Mississippi River’s headwaters near Itasca, Minn., and was supposed to end at Minneapolis, will conclude this week when its paddlers (which include Anne Sherve-Ose, of Iowa Falls) paddle out into the Gulf of Mexico in Louisiana.
In 2011, the Mississippi River was so flooded, the foursome of paddlers - including Anne Sherve-Ose, pictured above, pitched their tents on a dock when they couldn't find dry land for the night.
Anne Sherve-Ose (center) teaches lessons - like proper paddling technique - at her all-women camp, Wild Women in the Woods, every July. After mastering proper paddle technique, the women try out their new-found skills in the lake.
Six years ago, the Hamilton County resident and former Ellsworth Community College professor completed a 13-year mission to paddle the entire Mississippi River. She made the trek with two college friends — Deb Lenox White and Deb Stephens Knutson — spending a week every summer making their way down the 2,000-plus-mile river, then picking up where they left off the year before.

The softball season is still very young, yet the Potomac School Panthers have been busy and quite successful over the first few days, compiling a 5-0 record in dominating fashion and winning two of three scrimmage games.
The girls high-school softball team is expected to be strong again this spring, after amassing a 36-3 combined mark the past two seasons and finishing second in the Division I private-school state tournament each time. The Panthers return eight key players, including top pitcher Yanna Bravewolf; infielders Erika Castellano and Eva Butler; outfielders’ Hayley Richardson, Fae Butler and Samantha Taylormoore and catcher Shelby Wilcox.
Abby Rebhan is another returning pitcher.
So far, Bravewolf and Rebhan have done the majority of the pitching.
“Yanna and Abby have been pitching well and getting people out,” Potomac School coach Wayne Loving said. “We like our team.”
The Panthers have won big in their five regular contests, downing Elizabeth Seton, 14-4, Maret, 17-3, Monroe, 13-1, Stone Ridge, 17-3, and St. John’s, 8-4. The win over Monroe came during spring-break competition in Myrtle Beach.
Against Monroe, Bravewolf and Rebhan combined on a three-hitter and struck out nine. The duo allowed four hits and fanned 11 against Elizabeth Seton. Bravewolf got the wins.
Against Maret, Alexis Vaughan started and got the victory, with Rebhan throwing in relief.
Potomac School had 15 hits each against Monroe and Elizabeth Seton and 17 versus Maret.
Bravewolf smacked a grand slam against Maret, with Vaughan, Castellano and Richardson also homering.
Bravewolf had four of the team’s 18 hits against Stone Ridge, with Castellano having three hits and Eva Butler three hits, including two doubles. Bravewolf was the winning pitcher with six strikeouts.
In the win over St. John’s, Eva Butler had two doubles and Castellano and Paige Schedler (three RBI) had two hits each, and Richardson doubled. Bravewolf fanned four and Rebhan six in four innings.
Fae Butler, Rebhan and Wilcox have been among other productive hitters. Rebhan tripled and doubled against Elizabeth Seton.
NOTE: Potomac School is the defending Independent School League AA Division tournament champion, winning the title in 2019. The 2020 season was not held because of COVID; and there was no ISL tournament last spring, when the Panthers finished 9-1, playing a limited schedule, also because of the pandemic.

Iowa Falls-Alden junior Logan Kobe had the opportunity to meet Iowa Football Coach Kirk Ferentz following the team's recent spring practice. Kobe was able to job shadow the program's equipment managers during the day. A manager of both the IF-A football and wrestling programs, he would like to fill a similar role in college.
During football games at Cadet Field, or wrestling meets in Cadet Gymnasium, it may be easy to see all of the hard work put in by the athletes on those Iowa Falls-Alden rosters.
But if people look close enough, they will also see dedicated work on the sidelines/matside from team managers such as junior Logan Kobe.

Is Rebekah Neumann a magician, maverick, or muse? Those are the three possibilities a brand consultant presents to Anne Hathaway’s character in WeCrashed’s fifth episode. “I wanna be in Vanity Fair,” Rebekah replies. The consultant says that only two of the three m’s make it into V.F.—and she’s chosen the wrong one.
Rebekah’s rebrand comes at the recommendation of Elishia Kennedy, a raw-juice empire CEO played by America Ferrera. In a stunning leap of faith, Elishia leaves her company to join WeWork—lured by the charms of Adam Neumann (Jared Leto) and Rebekah’s friendship. She’s even set to appear alongside Adam in the pages of Vanity Fair as the company’s chief brand officer. But like many who buy what WeWork is selling, Elishia becomes collateral in another person’s rise to the top.
While Ferrera had heard of WeWork, it was only after receiving the WeCrashed script that she listened to the Wondery podcast on which the show is based and watched Hulu’s documentary about the company, she tells Vanity Fair. During her research, Ferrera found herself fascinated by the “magic thinking” that infected those beckoned to unicorn companies like WeWork. It’s a narrative at the heart of this season’s glut of shows about maligned start-ups, including The Dropout (Theranos) and Super Pumped (Uber). “That kind of thinking says so much about who we are,” Ferrera says. “And I do think it’s a particularly American kind of thinking that everything and anything is possible.”
Unlike Adam and Rebekah, Elishia is a fictional character in the Apple TV+ series. But her trajectory parallels that of Julie Rice, SoulCycle’s cofounder. Rice joined WeWork as chief brand officer in 2017—before leaving when Rebekah reportedly decided to assume that title herself. Ferrera didn’t speak with Rice during the show’s prep, but did familiarize herself with the circumstances surrounding her employment. “I made myself aware of Julie and the role she played,” she says. “But for me, Elishia is much more about seeing someone who is honest and smart and well-meaning, against her own better judgment, get swept up in the pull and magnetism and the gravity of the story that was being told.”
Elishia’s WeWork entanglement begins when she meets Rebekah at a costumed benefit for their children’s school. Ferrera’s eyes peek out over a mummy costume, while Hathaway’s character sports an elaborate Avatar getup. “They find themselves in a situation that is laughable and really undercuts any kind of decorum or seriousness that they might have had if they met at a PTA meeting,” Ferrera explains. “It’s part of why there’s the opportunity for a genuine connection—because they’re both the ridiculous outcasts in that moment.”
With the ice broken, Rebekah and Elishia experience what Ferrera describes as “a plug in a socket” moment. “They both needed and could give what the other one needed and could give,” she says. “Rebekah found a disciple in Elishia, and Elishia found connection and inspiration and a reflection of herself that she wanted to see. She wanted to feel extraordinary and like a special person. Rebekah reflected that back to her. And so they really, in a way, were the perfect match for each other.”

Secrets abound in Severance, the genre-bending new Apple TV+ series created by Dan Erickson and directed primarily by Ben Stiller. The show centers around Adam Scott’s Mark S., an employee of Lumon Industries who has opted to surgically “sever” his personal and work lives. When Scott joined this week’s Little Gold Men, he shared a secret of his own: The show scared him.
“I was terrified when the show was coming out,” Scott admitted. “So I haven’t read any reviews or anything like that because this is a role in a show that I’ve been working toward and hoping for now my whole career, essentially. When I read it, I thought, If I’m able to actually land this thing, it’s what I’ve been earning this whole time—a chance to actually get on a show like this and play a role like this.”
The Parks and Recreation actor’s gamble paid off. In a spoiler-filled conversation with Vanity Fair’s Katey Rich, Scott discussed the biggest twists of Severance (Mark’s wife is who?!), a potential workplace romance with Britt Lower’s Helly, and which show surprises he’s keeping to himself. Spoiler alert: He’s got intel about those goats.
Give a listen to the episode above, and find Little Gold Men on Apple Podcasts or anywhere else you get your podcasts. You can also sign up to text with us at Subtext—we’d love to hear from you. And as a reminder, there will be twice-weekly episodes of Little Gold Men going forward—bringing conversations with Hollywood’s most exciting creators and stars on Tuesdays, before analysis of all of the awards races around them on Thursdays.
Read a partial transcript of the Adam Scott interview below.
Vanity Fair: The show relies so much on twists and turns. So when you go into the season or even sign on to the role, how much do you know, how much do you leave room for yourself to be surprised?
Adam Scott: Well, I knew everything going in. We shot the whole season at once, so it wasn’t like we could go episode by episode and be surprised as it went on. We shot it like a nine-hour movie, just jumping all over the place. So yeah, I knew all the twists and turns, and it was always a matter of just keeping everything straight. It ended up being sort of like a math problem, because we’re keeping track of each side of Mark, obviously, but also that’s two separate arcs and where they each are in the story—but also how they may be affecting one another, not intellectually, because the brain is bifurcated, but emotionally not bifurcated. So how does one affect the other physiologically or emotionally?
I’m interested in what you said about how one side of Mark affects the other one, because as you said, they don’t know that it’s happening, and part of the revelation about Mark’s wife is that you realize that Cobel (Patricia Arquette) has been testing him on whether or not he knows that. For a while we can tell he doesn’t, but it sounds like for you there are things that transfer over, and I’m curious about what those are and how you play that.

Will Packer, the lead producer for the 2022 Oscars ceremony, did not want Will Smith removed from the ceremony after slapping Chris Rock. On Friday, Packer shared his perspective on the incident with Good Morning America co-anchor TJ Holmes, stating that he "was advocating what Rock wanted in that time, which was not to physically remove Will Smith at that time.”
Twitter content
This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from.
In his first interview since Sunday's broadcast, Packer confirmed that the Academy was prepared to “physically remove” Smith after the altercation, adding that the Los Angeles Police Department was prepared to arrest Smith. "The LAPD came and needed to talk to Chris," Packer recalled. "And so they came into my office and they were laying out very clearly what Chris's rights were. They were saying: 'This is battery. We will go get him. We will go get him right now, you can press charges, we can arrest him.'"
But according to Packer, Rock was “dismissive” of the options the LAPD presented after the incident. “He was like, ‘No, I’m fine,’ Packer said. "He was like, ‘No, no, no.’”
Packer's associate producer, Shayla Cowan, informed him that there were plans in motion from the Academy to remove Smith from the premises. “It was right before the best actor award,” Packer said. “Shayla told me that they were about to physically remove Will Smith, and I had not been a part of those conversations.” Packer said he sought out the Academy to urge them not to eject Smith from the ceremony, insisting that he "was advocating what Rock wanted in that time, which was not to physically remove Will Smith at that time.”
“So I immediately went to the Academy leadership that was on site, and I said ‘Chris Rock doesn’t want that,'” said Packer. “Rock has made it clear that he does not want to make a bad situation worse. That was Chris's energy.”
That’s Packer’s account. Rock’s, though, may differ. According to Deadline's Mike Fleming Jr., “reliable sources” say that Rock was never actually asked if he wanted Smith to be removed from the ceremony. “We’re told that Packer is conflating this from a conversation that happened after Smith slapped him onstage, where Rock told Packer he did not want to press charges,” writes Fleming. “Had he chosen to do that, the LAPD would have removed Smith and arrested him.”
He continues: “Had Packer asked Rock if he wanted Smith removed from the building, he might have gotten a different answer. Packer conveyed his version of events to the Academy, and no action was taken.”
In his Good Morning America interview, Packer confirmed that Rock improvised his now infamous joke about Jada Pinkett Smith's hair, telling Holmes that Rock was “immediately freestyling.”
In the moments after a shocked Rock walked off stage, Packer was able to ask Rock what exactly happened. "I said: ‘Did he really hit you?’ And he looked at me and he goes: 'I just took a punch from Muhammad Ali.'

What is your nickname? Sadly, this has reminded me of when we had to pick nicknames for our school hoodies, I didn’t have one so felt forced to make one up. Yes, my peers did come up to me and say, “Harry… we don’t call you that?” which was fun!
Which living person do you most admire? The person who commissioned Desperate Housewives.
Who is your biggest influence? I feel very lucky that I got to work with Judd Apatow who is a clever, kind comedy wizard. I would also like to have Kristen Wiig’s exact (exact) career plz.
What is your most treasured possession? I have a signed poster of the Spice Girls hanging up in my family home. Each Spice Girl signed their name in a different colour pen. Heaven!
What is your earliest memory? I very clearly remember sitting outside my childhood home on a hot day and having a sausage and thinking “Oh, this is going to live in my stomach forever”. Crucially, I did not understand digestion and still don’t.
How would your friends describe you? A devoted fan of the chain-restaurant Wagamamas.
Describe yourself in three words Very long arms.
Who are contenders for your ultimate desert island discs? Shania Twain’s “That Don’t Impress Me Much” has to be up there. I love that Shania just isn’t impressed by things often.
Where are you happiest? On the sofa with my housemate watching a glorious Noughties romcom (ideally after a cancelled plan).
Would you rather have your whole internet history exposed or never use the internet again? Tragically, I would have to have my internet history exposed (including my 2009 searches for how to get hair like Edward from Twilight). To look things up in a book? Sociopathic. I adore instant gratification.
If you were on the run, where would you hide out? A very bougie supermarket like a Whole Foods or a Planet Organic? I’d have a gorgeous time there I think.
What’s your favourite catchphrase? “Oh, they were so lovely”. It’s a catchphrase I share with my character Ollie in Ten Percent. I think perhaps we are both just very lenient judges of character?
What is your biggest professional regret? Taking my role as “ensemble wolf” too seriously at age eight (see below: I am, of course, bottom right).
OR deciding to wear a neckerchief at the Skins Open Audition to seem (wait for it) edgy. Reader, I did not get the part.
What is your biggest personal regret? Thinking that the colour scheme for my braces should be seasonal: red and green for Christmas, pink and yellow for Easter.
What is your biggest phobia? Being invited to a stag-do that involves paintballing.
If you were a famous character who would you be? Why? Helen of Troy: the face that launched a thousand ships.
Who would play you in the story of your life? I’d push for Olivia Colman, not because I think we share a likeness but because I never tire of watching her be in things.
What are your top three favourite films of all time? Notting Hill, Paddington 2, Bridesmaids
Harry Trevaldwyn stars in The Bubble (on Netflix now) and Ten Percent (begins April 28 on Amazon Prime)

Demi Moore apparently has a brand new man in her life and she's already bringing him with her to fashion week.
The actress has quietly started dating noted chef Daniel Humm of Eleven Madison Park and The NoMad fame, according to Page Six. In fact, the pair have reportedly already been together for a few months now. A source told the outlet, “They are really hot and heavy at the moment. Daniel works long, hard hours at his restaurant Eleven Madison Park, but they still often take time to have Demi join him for romantic dinners there.”
The new couple was also spotted together earlier this month during Paris Fashion Week where Humm joined Moore in the front row at Chloe's Fall 2022 runway show, alongside Maria Sharapova and actress Gugu Mbatha-Raw. This pairing also makes sense dietarily as Moore has followed a raw, vegan lifestyle for years and, in May 2021, Humm made headlines for his announcement that Eleven Madison Park and its famed 12-course dining experience were going entirely plant-based.
Prior to this relationship, the chef was linked to Steve Jobs's widow Laurene Powell Jobs in 2019, but it's unclear when exactly they broke up. Although, perhaps it was simply never that serious between the two of them as another source told Page Six at the time that "They are seeing each other," but it wasn't a full-blown relationship. Moore, of course, was previously married to Bruce Willis, with whom she shares three adult daughters, for 13 years before they divorced in 2000. This week, it was announced that her ex will retire from acting after being diagnosed with aphasia, a condition that affects his ability to communicate.

Though Queen Elizabeth and her children were front and center at Tuesday’s memorial service for Prince Philip, plenty of younger members of the family were also in attendance at the Westminster Abbey service that honored both his achievements and his boisterous personality. Afterwards, a few of them kept the celebration going by joining each other for a long lunch. According to the Mirror, Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, and Zara Tindall were spotted leaving Scott's restaurant in Mayfair, along with their respective spouses Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, Jack Brooksbank, and Mike Tindall.
The three granddaughters of the queen were wearing the same outfits they wore to the service, but by the time they left the restaurant, Beatrice was holding her hat in her hand, and Zara had changed into an electric blue peacoat. According to the Daily Mail, Eugenie was wearing a black pleated floral dress from the Canadian brand Erdem, which is one of her favorites. The cousins are said to be good friends, and last summer, Zara and Eugenie threw a joint Christening ceremony for their newborn sons.
Beatrice was spotted crying during the memorial, and Eugenie has already spoken about the impact that her grandfather had on her life. Last year, she told the BBC that she named her son, August Brooksbank, after him. “We named August, August Philip, because grandpa has been such a huge, inspiring character in my life,” she said. “I brought little August to come and meet him. I told him that we’d named him after him. It was such a lovely moment. We were very lucky to do that.” Eugenie and Jack did not bring one-year-old August to the service, and Beatrice and Edoardo also left their six-month-old daughter, Sienna, at home.
Though Zara’s oldest child, eight-year-old Mia, had joined the family at Prince Philip’s memorial service, she did not accompany her parents to lunch. The service was also an opportunity for a big contingent of the youngest royal generation to spend some quality time together. Along with Mia, her cousins Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Peter Phillips’ daughters Savannah and Isla were also in attendance, and Mia even waved to Charlotte as they passed in the church’s transept. According to Hello, Mia was actually wearing a hand-me-down coat from British brand Monsoon that Savannah first wore to church in Sandringham on Christmas in 2017.

A farmworker suffered multiple injuries after becoming caught up in a potato harvester. The incident led to a Health and Safety Executive prosecution and a farmer has been fined.
Folkestone Magistrates' Court heard that on August 21, 2020, the worker was involved in unblocking the potato harvester at a farm in Kent when he stepped down on to the rollers. The worker was pulled leg first into the machine and became stuck up to his knee.
This resulted in burns to the leg, a pulled hamstring, torn calf, broken nerves and hairline fractures to the knee and ankle. An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) found that the farmer had failed to implement a 'safe stop procedure' to isolate power and stop the movement of the rollers before the worker accessed them.

Alan Down of Main Road, Sellindge, Ashford, pleaded guilty to breaching Regulation 11(1)(b) of the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998. He was fined £4,992 and ordered to pay costs of £5,805.
Speaking after the hearing, HSE inspector Sam Brown said: "Too often we see incidents like this, where maintenance is carried out on live machinery and the principles of 'safe stop' and safe maintenance are ignored.
"The agricultural industry accounts for around one per cent of the workforce in Great Britain, yet it accounts for 20 per cent of worker deaths. Many of these deaths are due to poor working practices while carrying out maintenance on machinery.
"In addition, many more workers are seriously injured each year due to unsafe working practices while working on machinery. Those undertaking maintenance work on agricultural machinery should ensure that the principles of 'safe stop' are followed to prevent people being put at risk of injury."

A school in Tonbridge which Ofsted inspectors rated as 'inadequate' and said could be putting some children at risk of harm has disputed the finding. Bishop Chavasse Primary School was visited by inspectors from the education watchdog Ofsted in January.
The report of their findings at the school run by The Tenax Schools Trust was published on Wednesday (March 30). The school told KentLive it had not been expecting the report to be made public so soon and had understood it would be published "after the Easter break".
It sent a statement to KentLive, in which the school said it looked "forward to welcoming Ofsted back in the next few months to see for themselves how decisively the issues identified have been addressed". It also said: "We are disappointed with the outcome of the inspection."

The school said: "Whilst we acknowledge there were some issues in the school’s safeguarding practice, in particular in recordkeeping, we are clear that no children were at risk at any point." KentLive reported on Wednesday inspectors said arrangements for safeguarding were "not effective".
The Ofsted report said: "Pupils know that they have trusted adults to speak to if they have any worries or concerns. Pupils say they are happy and safe at school."
"However, inspectors found that leaders do not have secure enough systems in place for safeguarding. There are serious lapses in recording that could mean that some children are at risk of harm."
Inspectors also said: "Staff have a high awareness of potential risks that pupils might face and importantly know that no concern is too small. However, the records of these concerns show serious omissions.
"Leaders have not set up robust systems for recording and monitoring pupils who might be at risk. The information they record is not always clearly presented and is not always shared appropriately with other agencies and professionals where necessary."
In a statement, Bishop Chavasse Primary School said: “There has been some confusion over the publication of the Ofsted report following the inspection of the school in January. Ofsted had recently indicated to us that the report would be published after the Easter break, but we are aware that today the report unexpectedly briefly appeared on the Ofsted website.
“We are disappointed with the outcome of the inspection. Whilst we acknowledge there were some issues in the school’s safeguarding practice, in particular in record keeping, we are clear that no children were at risk at any point.
“Since January we have taken decisive action to address areas of concern, and under the leadership of Mrs Strand, who is an experienced headteacher with a proven track record, we have already addressed the principal issues identified.
“Systems and processes around safeguarding recordkeeping have been completely overhauled and we were given a clean bill of health in an independent review carried out by the local authority in early March. We also made rapid changes to some aspects of teaching to address other issues identified, and we have been updating parents as this work has been undertaken.
"This includes updating our approach to teaching phonics, where our performance has been strong but where practice is now consistent and fully aligned with the well-regarded scheme Read Write Inc , and staff have been trained in teaching this programme.
“We briefed parents in person after school this afternoon and received their overwhelming support and encouragement on the changes we have made and in particular on the new leadership of Mrs Strand and our whole team of teachers, and we are now writing to those who could not attend."

The M20 is currently closed eastbound due to severe congestion caused by Operation Brock. There are also severe delays on the A2 and A20.
There are long queues due to the motorway being used to hold lorries heading for channel crossings between Junction 8 for Leeds Castle and Maidstone Services and Junction 9 for Ashford. Traffic information service Inrix says there is currently congestion up to Junction 6 for Maidstone.
It is also reporting queues on the M2 between Junction 5 (Sittingbourne) and Junction 7 (Brenley Corner). Meanwhile further congestion has been reported on Detling Hill heading towards Maidstone as a result.
We'll be bringing you the latest updates on this incident in the blog below. Scroll down for updates.
All the delays reported across Kent due to Operation Brock
There are big problems on Kent roads this afternoon due to the knock-on effect of the closure on the M20. Drivers have been warned to expect long delays.
The latest updates from AA and Inrix are as follows:
- Delays of eight minutes on A249 Sittingbourne Road Southbound between Hampton Road and Vinters Road
Severe delays of ten minutes and delays increasing on M20 Eastbound near J6 A229 (Maidstone / Blue Bell Hill). Average speed ten mph
Delays of four minutes on A249 Bearsted Road Southbound between A249 (Detling South Turn Off) and Sittingbourne Road
Delays of six minutes on A20 Ashford Road Eastbound between A20 and The Landway. Average speed ten mph.
Severe delays of 61 minutes and delays easing on M20 Eastbound between J6 A229 (Maidstone / Blue Bell Hill) and J8 A20 Ashford Road (Leeds Castle / Maidstone Services). Average speed five mph.
Severe delays of ten minutes and delays easing on A20 Ashford Road Eastbound between A20 and Roebuck Business Park. Average speed ten mph.
Long queues on M20 and M2
The latest update from Inrix on this afternoon's traffic chaos:
Routes through Maidstone are heavily congested as traffic tries to avoid the queues.
The road is closed to all non-freight traffic heading coastbound. The London bound side of the road remains open to all traffic.
Diversion - non-freight traffic uses the A20 instead which is congested out of Maidstone, and all freight comes off at J8 to then be sent back down into the holding areas.
What is Operation Brock?
National Highways has this explanation:
The Operation Brock contraflow system is designed to keep traffic on the M20 and other roads in Kent moving when there is disruption to travel across the English Channel
It separates traffic into different lanes across both carriageways. National Highways says this keeps the M20 and other local roads open and moving and helps control how port-bound HGVs make their way to the Port of Dover or the Eurotunnel.
When lorries reach the A20, they are asked to queue in the left hand lane on the approach into Dover. This separate scheme, called Dover TAP, is put in place to stop Dover's roads from being blocked by queues.
Traffic cameras show extent of delays on M20
Live images from National Highways traffic cameras on the M20 around Junction 8 show the disruption being caused by the closure this afternoon:
Diversions are in place on M20 - full details for non-EU freight traffic
National Highways says the following diversion route is in place for non-EU freight traffic. Drivers are advised to follow the hollow circle diversion symbol then:
- Leave the M20 at J8 and at the roundabout take the 2nd exit onto the A20 eastbound towards Ashford.
- Follow the A20 through Harrietsham, Lenham and Charing to the Drovers roundabout and take the 1st exit to continue on the A20 towards the M20.
- Follow the A20 to the M20 J9 roundabout and take the 3rd exit onto the M20 coastbound to continue your journey.
Kent Police and highways officers are at the scene
National Highways has issued this update on the closure this afternoon:
The M20 in Kent is closed between J8 (Maidstone) and J9 (Ashford) to manage approaching traffic to Operation Brock.
Kent Police and National Highways are on scene to assist with traffic management.

Drivers are currently battling the impact of the Operation Brock contraflow on the M20 which has caused large backups for freight traffic heading to the coast. It had been hoped that the last of the operation had been seen following the passing of the Brexit Deadline.
However, as a result of the reduced ferry operations in the Port of Dover, the operation has had to be reinstated, whereby parts of the A2 and M20 have been closed to create a two way traffic system. All freight traffic heading to the coast must follow the coned area on the M20 between J8, Leeds Castle and Maidstone services, and J9, Ashford.
Meanwhile, all other traffic not heading for a channel crossing and non freight traffic must use the contraflow found on the other side. As well as this, a 50mph speed limit has also been implemented in the area.

The move has been introduced as a precaution and to "improve Kent's resilience", National Highways says. Ferry disruptions began last month in March when 800 P&O Ferries employees were abruptly fired over a video call.
The vessels have been removed from service and detained pending safety checks. Bosses of the long-standing ferry firm said it had to wipe out its workforce or face the entire company's collapse, with 'a total loss of 3,000 jobs'.
The in place contraflow system has clearly grinded freight traffic in the area to a halt as images show huge backups of lorries, with some drivers reportedly being stuck for over eight hours. The traffic light controlled system signals when there is enough room at the port for more lorries.
When lorries reach the A20, they are asked to queue in the left hand lane on the approach into Dover. This separate scheme, called Dover TAP, is put in place to stop Dover's roads from being blocked by queues.
The green light is then given and HGVs are able to travel to the Eastern Docks. The scheme has been in place on-and-off since the P&O Ferries announcement on March 22.
Nicky Potts, head of operational integration for National Highways, said in a statement to KentLive : “Ensuring the smooth flow of traffic through Kent is a top priority and we are keeping the deployment of Operation Brock under continual review. Any decision to remove the barrier will be taken jointly, and we are in constant contact with the government and all our partners in Kent."

Do you think you’re a good driver? It turns out – not everyone agrees.
A survey by Nationwide found 85% of people rate their own driving as excellent or good, but only 29% of people gave others the same rating.
Driving has also become more stressful for some.
About 50% said they feel roads are more dangerous now than before the pandemic
It makes sense when you look at the numbers -- fewer people were driving in 2020, but there was still a nearly 7% increase in car crash deaths.
Things only worsened in 2021, with a 12% increase in deaths on the road.

DETROIT (AP) — New vehicles sold in the U.S. will have to travel an average of at least 40 miles per gallon of gasoline in 2026 under new rules unveiled by the government.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Friday that its fuel economy requirements will undo a rollback enacted under President Donald Trump.
The new requirements increase gas mileage by 8% per year for model years 2024 and 2025 and 10% in the 2026 model year.
For the current model year, standards enacted under Trump require the fleet of new vehicles to get just over 24 miles per gallon in real-world driving.
Some environmental groups say the new standards aren't tough enough, saying that it's about 2 mpg short of what the NHTSA considered, the Associated Press reported.
Compared to the Trump standards, gasoline consumption will be reduced by more than 220 billion throughout the car's lifetime.
NHTSA said that by 2050, carbon dioxide emissions would drop by 2.5 billion metric tons under the standards and those with a 2029 model vehicle would save about $1,400 in gasoline costs during the car's lifetime.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) — A New York mobster who killed three people and attempted to kill two others has escaped from federal custody.
The Bureau of Prisons website says Dominic Taddeo escaped on March 28.
The 64-year-old had been imprisoned at a medium-security lockup in Florida before being transferred to a residential halfway house in February.
Taddeo pleaded guilty in 1992 to racketeering charges that included the killings of three men during mob wars in the 1980s. He was reportedly serving a 54-year sentence.
A federal judge in western New York denied Taddeo’s request for compassionate release last year.
A Bureau of Prisons spokesperson did not immediately return a call seeking information about Taddeo’s escape.

OLYMPIA – Gov. Jay Inslee on Thursday signed a $64.1 billion supplemental budget that will make new investments in K-12 schools, programs designed to reduce poverty and homelessness, behavioral health and helping the state recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.
During supplemental budget years, legislators are tasked with adjusting the two-year budget passed the year prior. It will be in place through the end of the budget cycle in 2023. This year, lawmakers had an unprecedented amount of money to use to adjust the next year’s spending.
Inslee said Thursday that legislators made “big progress” this year on their investments in the budget.
Lawmakers had more than $5 billion in additional revenue plus $1.2 billion in federal COVID-19 relief funds not yet spent to adjust their budget from last year. Budget writers called it “unusual” with the amount of extra money.
It leaves $800 million in reserves for the next two years plus an additional $2.75 billion in an account set aside for emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
Inslee’s proposed budget from December would have spent almost $62 billion and invested new money into housing, climate change, salmon recovery and transportation. The final budget did not include all of Inslee’s proposals from December. Bills including one allowing duplexes, triplexes and other middle housing on all lands, a salmon recovery plan to add wooded land along rivers and streams and plans to lower emissions from buildings across the state did not make it through this session. But Inslee praised legislators for their investments in housing, behavioral health and fighting climate change.
“I am pleased that the legislators gave us relief that is big that is bold that is fast,” Inslee said of the Legislature’s investments in housing.
He also gave a nod to the 16-year, $17 billion transportation package, which he signed last week. It will fund new transit, electrification of the ferry fleet and road projects and maintenance statewide.
Republicans criticized the final budget for not having more large-scale tax breaks. With much of the additional money being one-time funds, Democrats said it has targeted tax breaks, such as exempting small businesses that make less than $125,000 a year from business and operations taxes in Washington.
The budget includes a significant amount of funding for K-12 education, including money to adjust for inflation for salaries and materials, as well as funding for additional nurses, counselors and support staff. It also funds a number of initiatives to increase the number of nurses and health care workers in the state.
There’s also money for refugee assistance for those coming from Afghanistan and Ukraine.
More than $350 million is included to increase rates for vendors providing services to people with developmental disabilities or long-term care needs.
More than $230 million will fund wage increases for state employees as per their collective bargaining agreements last year.
Inslee also signed a $1.5 billion supplemental capital budget that funds construction projects across the state, including funding for affordable housing, behavioral health resources, broadband infrastructure, and seismic safety and retrofitting in schools.

When Kara Mickelson returned home from a high school Tolo dance one recent Saturday night, her dad Erik was still up and in the living room. Not on a worrisome father vigil — not entirely, at least — but watching video of Eisenhower’s track competition earlier that day.
“It was funny, I’m there in my dress watching video of one of my races with my dad. My form wasn’t so great,” she said, knowing a critique was coming. “It wasn’t anything harsh, but he pointed out some things I could improve on and he was right. It was pretty great, actually. It was kind of a bonding experience.”
Erik is not one of those dads. He is, after all, an Eisenhower assistant coach. And he knows a thing or two when it comes to Kara’s specialty — 800 meters.
As one of the state’s best middle-distance runners, Kara leans on her dad for tactical and mechanical advice and mom for diet and health counsel. However her mom, Aleah, can chime in on any such topics because she, too, knows a thing or two about running and racing.
These are the benefits — and challenges — of growing up in a house of champions.
Aleah and Erik are both two-time state champions and their high school accomplishments were intertwined on a remarkably similar path in time and place, even though they attended schools on opposite sides of the state and were a year apart in age. For the best example, a flashback to the 1995 Class AAA state track meet in Tacoma will do nicely.
As a junior at Eisenhower, Aleah Thome was enjoying the best year of her prep career. Coming off winning a state cross country title in the fall, she backed that up at Star Track XIII by capturing the 3,200-meter title Friday night at the Lincoln Bowl, an idyllic setting for distance races. The next day Thome, who medaled as a freshman in the 800, added a second-place finish in the 1,600.
Erik Mickelson, meanwhile, finished his senior year at Newport High of Bellevue in grand style. After placing third in a hyper-fast 1,600 the night before, an hour after Aleah’s 3,200 victory, Erik repeated as the AAA champion in the 800 Saturday afternoon, turning back Aleah’s teammates Chris Schafer and Chris Waddle in the process.
After high school, they both left the state — Erik to Nebraska and Aleah to Portland. Then they both returned to attend the University of Washington, where they met in 1997.
Kara, the oldest of the Mickelson’s four kids, has all that parental experience to draw on and a good situation for keeping it under control. If there’s a potential for too many coaching voices, having Phil English presiding over the program fixes that. He coached Aleah and all of Eisenhower’s distance-running state champions, for that matter.
“My parents really trust Mister (English),” Kara said, “so I don’t have to worry about any of that.”
With Erik and Aleah starting the Sun City Harriers running club years ago, Kara has been a part of the scene as long as she can remember. Even so, all of the kids have been encouraged to find their own thing and Kara did, practicing and performing ballet for 10 years. Kara’s sister Mary, a junior, competes for Eisenhower’s swim team in the winter and is thrower on the track team.
But Kara’s physical skills and stout mentality brought her here, to middle-distance racing and a domain her parents once dominated. She does concede, openly and with a smile, to having fleeting wishes that she excelled elsewhere. A seat at a dinner table without state champions on both ends.
“Sometimes, yeah, because my parents were very successful,” she said. “But also, no, because it hasn’t been an issue. It’s a great thing, really, and it makes me feel more connected to them. And my mom was better at longer races, so we have our differences.”
Indeed, Kara is more on the fast-twitch end of the spectrum, including speed good enough to rank second in the Valley last year in the 200. She’s down to No. 4 on Eisenhower’s all-time list in the 400 with her best of 58.67, but the 800 is clearly her ideal distance blending quick pace and power. Despite not having a state meet for motivation last year, Kara still slashed her two-lap best down to 2:13.55 — fastest in the Valley in 15 years.
“That was faster than I expected and a really nice surprise,” she said. “As a freshman I ran 2:25 so that’s a pretty impressive drop to me. Based on that, I’ve got some goals for this season and breaking 2:10 is one of them.”
Kara hasn’t run an 800 yet this season and won’t until the end of spring break during Eisenhower’s annual trip to the Arcadia Invitational in California.
“It’s hard to not run one until the middle of the season, but that’s how Mister plans the season,” she added. “He starts me off with the 200, 400 and relays to build my speed, then lengthens out the races later. I’m very excited for Arcadia but also kind of nervous. That’s when I want to make my decision about college so I want to run really fast.”
Kara has visited Arizona and Georgetown and is weighing other options. Looking around Zaepfel Stadium with warm affection, she’s ready to hand off the baton.
“Mister actually called me Aleah the other day when we were doing relay handoffs,” she said. “It was so funny — I wasn’t even doing a distance workout. I can’t wait for my little sister (Kate, an eighth-grader) to come here next year because she looks even more like our mom than I do. I just know that’s going to be a thing because she likes the longer races and is really good.”

A 5-year-old girl is dead after she was abducted and taken on a wild police chase in Florida — where the car ended up careening into a pond, officials said.
Jacksonville police were en route to a possible armed kidnapping around 7:30 p.m. when a unit saw a vehicle matching a description given by witnesses.
The car sped off after seeing the cop and merged onto the I-95 highway.
Jacksonville sheriff’s officials said they chased the suspected kidnapper at speeds of over 90 mph for roughly 30 miles before she made an attempt to exit the highway.
“For obvious reasons, we had to stay behind this vehicle,” Officer Christian Hancock of the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said of the pursuit.
The vehicle ended up in a retention pond as police exited their vehicles and rushed into the water.
The suspect was apprehended in the water but the girl was not immediately visible, Hancock said.
Dive teams arrived later.
“The child was unfortunately located at the bottom of the pond, deceased,” Hancock said.
Cops did not name the suspect — who faces murder charges and was armed with a knife.

Who is Freddie De Tommaso? All you need to know about the British-Italian tenor
The 28-year-old opera singer has been hugely acclaimed since his debut album shot to number one last year
Published:
Who is Freddie De Tommaso?
Freddie De Tommaso is a 28-year-old opera singer who, last December, became the youngest ever tenor to sing the role of the painter Mario Cavaradossi in Tosca at Covent Garden. His debut disc, ‘Passione’, which he released in March 2021, hit number one in the classical charts and was met with huge critical acclaim.
Where is he from?
As his surname suggests, this singer has Italian heritage. His father, who died when he was 18, came from Puglia, which is why De Tommaso has a decent command of Italian. But his mother came from Tunbridge Wells, where Freddie grew up, and where, when he was old enough, he worked for a time, helping out in the Italian restaurant run by his parents.
What is his voice like?
Variously described as ‘dark’, ‘sturdy’, ‘Italianate’ and ‘wonderfully vintage’, his vocal timbre has been compared to that of singers from a bygone era. His father’s favourite music was Pavarotti, which he would have on loop in the family restaurant, so perhaps it’s not surprising that De Tommaso grew up idolising the great Italian tenors of the early-mid 20th century, whom he still refers to as his heroes.
What was his training?
Despite his father’s enthusiasm for Pavarotti, it was De Tommaso’s mother who really nurtured his love of opera, taking each of her three sons to Glyndebourne and Covent Garden. He joined his school choir at five, then continued as a treble into his teens. But he didn’t seriously consider music as a career until, having dropped out of his languages course at Bristol University, he decided to have some more singing lessons – and ended up winning a place at the Royal Academy Music, where he started out as a baritone, before switching to tenor.
How did he shoot to fame?
His breakthrough was winning First Prize, the Placido Domingo Tenor Prize and the Verdi Prize at the 2018 Viñas International Singing Competition in Barcelona. Since then, he has performed at Covent Garden, Bayerische Staatsoper, Dutch National Opera, Wiener Staatsoper and SemperOper Dresden amongst other places.
What repertoire does he sing?
In addition to Cavaradossi, his major roles have included Cassio in Verdi’s Otello, Pinkerton in Puccini’s Madama Butterfly, Macduff in Verdi’s Macbeth and Don José in Bizet’s Carmen. But he is keen to get some early bel canto Verdi under his belt too, such as I Due Foscari and Ernani.
When can we next hear him?
De Tommaso will play the role of Pinkerton in Madama Butterfly at the Royal Opera House from 14 June to 6 July 2022.

PAL's mission centered on improving lives of area youth
ZANESVILLE — Larry "Train" Robinson understands the importance of providing positive options for area children.
It's part of the rebranding for the Police Athletic League, located at 804 Pine St.
The organization has been operating over the past year, but will host a grand reopening at 2 p.m. Saturday, April 9, with the Spring in the Ring Boxing event.
Admission for the boxing show is $15 per person and ages 5 and under are free. All proceeds benefit the Local PAL and youth participants.
Robinson, the PAL president, and Vice President Josh Ward are looking forward to showcasing what PAL has to offer to the community during the event. Robinson estimated anywhere from 10 to 40 children attend the facility on days it is open
"Our main goal is showing kids the importance of a strong work ethic, self-respect and discipline," Robinson said. "Our goal is to keep them off the streets and help them do something productive. We want to give them an outlet that is something besides sitting on the couch and playing video games or being on social media."
PAL is open to the public from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, as children and adults can work out on in the gym that features treadmills, weight benches and punching bags. Youth, 18 and under, can sign up for free memberships, and adults pay a $10 per month donation for a membership.
Event coordinator Jessica Hennessey said PAL offers tutoring and is working on starting an arts and crafts program. The focus is letting the public know the facility is open and available.
"We offer after-school programs to give kids things to do. We want the community to understand this is a safe place for the kids," she said. "We run through donations so holding the boxing event helps us out. We also use funds to maintain the building, pay utilities, buy equipment and whatever else is needed.
"This is all about the kids, she added. "PAL provides alternatives to what kids could be doing, and we want to provide something they can't get elsewhere."
Another offering is karate, ran by Master Ken Bright. He is nationally and internationally accredited by Ko Sutemi Seiei Kan Karate Organization. He is a five-time inductee into the USA Martial Arts Hall of Fame and a two-time inductee into the London England UK Hall of Fame.
Bright, an AAU All American and All-Ohioan Martial Artist, has more than 40 years of experience. Being able to pass on his knowledge to the youth is why he joined with PAL.
"I started taking karate when I was younger because I was being bullied," he said. "Karate helps with self-defense, self-respect and character building. It's something I enjoy, and I'm very passionate about."
Inspiring youth is a goal for Robinson and his staff. He noted they partner with the Juvenile Detention Center to provide community service hours and worked with Chad Grandstaff and Todd Whiteman so the Zanesville football team could use the facility this past summer.
PAL also focuses on keeping students in good academic standing.
Robinson said the staff checks everyone's grades, and they require students to keep a C average to use the facility. If students have D's or F's, they can face discipline, such as losing their gym privilege, noted Robinson.
He said the organization wants to teach kids about the consequences of their decisions, while reinforcing the positives of good decision-making.
Robinson also emphasized the safe environment PAL offers and expects to extend gym hours when the school year is completed.
"Everyone's family here, and we treat each other as such," he said. "We keep it safe for the kids. We have cameras around the facility, and parents can access those. We want the parents to trust us to work with their kids.
"Our focus is also to stay positive and prepare the kids for the reality outside these walls," he added. "We want to show the kids what a good effort can do for them. We understand there will be challenges, but Josh and I want to put them the right path and encourage them to stay on it."

5,000 bikes, helmets, locks to be given away to Chicagoans
CHICAGO - Chicago will distribute 5,000 free bicycles, helmets, locks and lights to promote "sustainable modes of transportation" and bolster its reputation as a cycling city, a top mayoral aide said Thursday.
Chicago Transportation Commissioner Gia Biagi revealed that plan — but no details — in a speech to the City Club of Chicago, where she talked about her love of cycling and about the city’s goal to help Chicagoans who may not own a bike or even know how to ride one.
Biagi called it a "community cycling strategy." It’s aimed at developing bike routes that acknowledge the reality of "everyday life" in Chicago neighborhoods.
"While we have done and will continue to do a ton of work in developing those commuter routes — getting to work and back — we realized that if we want to become the best big city for cycling in the country, if we want every one of us to spend time on a bike — and we do want that — we need to make biking a part of everyday life," Biagi said.
"Not just to work. Four-fifths of trips in a city are not to work. They’re all of these other places. So just focusing on getting you to work by bike — that’s not gonna get us there. What’s gonna get us there is community-based planning."
Biagi cited as an example her department’s work to "connect the dots" in North Lawndale and Belmont Cragin.
By the end of this year on the West Side alone, the city will have added 45 miles of new bikeways that "fill the gaps" and create a "neighborhood network." Similar projects are underway or planned across the city.
"By the end of this year, we will have added more than 125 miles of new bikeways to our system since 2020. This surpasses the mayor’s goal of 100 miles in her first term. We blew right past it. We have never built bike infrastructure this quickly in our city’s history. Last year was the biggest year ever. And we’ve been at it since 2010," said Biagi, who was introduced Thursday by Mayor Lori Lightfoot.
"Over the next two to three years, we’re gonna hit a total of 500 miles of bikeways in our city — up from the 300 miles we’ve been hovering at for the last several years. … We will be transforming painted lanes into protected lanes everywhere we can. We’ll be doubling our mileage in that regard. … We make these small networks in neighborhoods. And then, we connect them."
The much-ballyhooed expansion of Chicago’s Divvy bike rental program — making it the largest in the nation — will be completed this year. Divvy discounts for low-income residents will be expanded — instead of $5 a year for a single membership, it’ll be $5 for five years, the commissioner said.
"And also, announcing right now, we’re gonna give away 5,000 bikes to Chicago residents. Free bikes. And a helmet. And a bike lock. And it’s not gonna be a Divvy bike," Biagi said, to applause.
"We need to do our part, right? We’re building out the network. We’ve got the bikes."
The bike giveaway will be bankrolled by a "Climate Recovery Bond," said Sue Hofer, Chicago Department of Transportation spokeswoman. It’s one of a host of projects and programs intended to "improve the mobility of residents" and "encourage the use of sustainable modes of transportation."
When, where and how the bikes will be given away, as well as who will be eligible, was not yet known.
"The city will co-design the program in partnership with community organizations over the next year," Hofer told the Sun-Times.
Also Thursday, Biagi joined Lightfoot, Planning and Development Commissioner Maurice Cox and Interim Chicago Park District Superintendent Rosa Escareno in releasing a "citywide vision of trails and open spaces" that will add 48 miles to the city’s 79-mile network of trails and open spaces.
None of the projects are brand new. None are fully-funded. Some will take years and tens of millions of dollars to complete.
But the $15 million commitment Lightfoot announced Thursday is, at least, a down payment on that vision.

"When you match this vision for trails and corridors to our pursuit of that citywide bike system [and] safe walking in communities, you get the most connected city in the country. And that is where we are headed," Biagi said.

Batavia woman charged with cutting relative with knife, barricading in home
BATAVIA, Ill. - A Batavia woman is facing several charges after allegedly cutting a family member with a knife and barricading inside a home Wednesday night in the western suburb.
Police responded to a call of a suspicious person around 11:26 p.m. in the first block of Oak Terrace Court where they found a man with cuts to the face and arms, according to Batavia police.
Officers rendered aid at the scene before paramedics transferred him to a local hospital. Police said his injuries are non-life-threatening.
Investigation revealed he had been cut with a knife by a relative in a nearby residence, police said.
Police attempted to make contact with the suspect but were unsuccessful when she barricaded herself inside the residence. Negotiators with the Kane County SWAT team convinced 30-year-old Amy Geren to surrender peacefully.
She was charged with aggravated domestic battery and aggravated battery of a victim older than 60, both felonies.
Geren also faces two misdemeanor charges of domestic battery causing bodily harm and domestic battery insulting/provoking contact.
Bail was set for Geren at $75,000.

Corn could be the answer to high gas prices
In Midwest America, corn is still king – and lawmakers and farmers alike are pushing the federal government to expand its corn-based ethanol use gas prices continue to hit record highs.
"I think it's a win-win-win," Illinois corn farmer Brian Duncan told FOX Business’ Grady Trimble. "It's a win for agriculture, it's a win for the environment, and a win for America."
Under the Home Front Energy Independence Act, ethanol fuel E15 would be produced and sold year-round in the U.S. instead of only during the summer months. The proposal aims to further decrease dependence on Russian petroleum exports over its war on Ukraine.
Bipartisan lawmakers backing the bill include Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., and Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kansas.
VIETNAMESE AUTOMAKER TO BUILD ELECTRIC CARS IN U.S.
Even though E15 can be anywhere from 5 to 10 cents cheaper than regular unleaded natural gas, the American Petroleum Institute has pushed back against the use of E15 ethanol, claiming it emits more greenhouse gasses and gets fewer miles to the gallon than the comparable E10 fuel.
UNITED STATES - JUNE 20: A bottle of 200-proof ethanol, center, is surrounded by bottles containing corn, left, and corn ethanol production co-products at the Commonwealth Agri-Energy Ethanol plant in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, U.S., on Thursday, June 1
A recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that ethanol production from corn led to a decrease in water qualities and caused additive emissions through the production processes.
Researchers further said the combined sum of emissions from corn-based ethanol could be 24% more than the fuel they were designed to replace.
"I think they're dealing with a lot of outdated information to protect their market share," Duncan countered.
Farmers like Duncan believe ethanol can provide oil supply in emergency situations, pointing out that the crop’s purpose goes beyond food consumption.
"As far as food versus fuel, I think American farmers have the capacity to meet both markets," he said. "It's not either-or."

According to Duncan, it remains less expensive to make, use and buy ethanol fuel despite a surge in global corn prices.
"The market's been very volatile, but ethanol has been running about $1 per gallon cheaper for pure ethanol than gas," the corn farmer explained. "And so that cheapens up the price of the end product when you're able to blend that in."

Half of murder cases considered 'solved' by Chicago police in 2021 didn’t result in charges
CHICAGO - Chicago’s murder total last year surged to levels not seen in a quarter-century, but embattled police Supt. David Brown has frequently noted a positive data point amid the spike in violence: His department "cleared" more murder cases in 2021 than in any other year in nearly two decades.
The statistic on cases cleared is usually among the list of figures Brown cites, along with record numbers of handguns seized and rising arrest totals for carjackings.
The Chicago Police Department’s detectives "cleared over 400 homicides in 2021," Brown said in January, one of several times he’s mentioned the figure in public remarks. "That’s the most cleared in 19 years."
The Chicago police closed exactly 400 murder cases in 2021, well above the average solved during each of the last several years. That’s nearly 50 more cases closed than in 2020 and well above the average of 250 in each of the five previous years.
Based on the department’s official total of 797 murders in 2021, that amounted to a "clearance rate" of better than 50% last year.
But that doesn’t mean many more people are being brought to justice, a Chicago Sun-Times analysis finds.
Half of those cases — 199 — were closed "exceptionally," meaning no one was charged. Under departmental policy, detectives are allowed to clear a case when the suspect is dead, prosecutors refuse to make a charge or police believe they know who did it but don’t make an arrest.
What’s more, one of every seven cases taken off CPD’s books last year was actually committed more than 10 years ago, including one that happened a half-century ago, which CPD attributed to providing extra resources to the department’s Cold Case team. Since those cases were officially cleared in 2021, they are counted against the 797 murder total, further improving last year’s clearance rate even though they happened years before.
When all is said and done, the department actually made arrests in fewer cases than in 2020, when 209 people were charged, figures show.
Despite Brown’s boasts, CPD’s efforts to boost clearance rates without an arrest or charges could be detrimental to crime fighting efforts in the long run, experts said.
Both residents and police officers in violence-plagued communities want to see killers taken off the streets, and padded clearance stats or stalled court cases do little to build confidence in the community or boost police morale, said Christopher Herrmann, a researcher at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York who has studied clearance data.
"It’s really kind of a negative, downward spiral," Herrmann said. "When a community doesn’t see murders getting solved, they’re less likely to help the police, because what good does it do, right? [Police] never solve anything, anyway. And when the police see that the community isn’t stepping up to help, they’re going to question how much energy and brainpower do they want to put into a case."
‘The person that did this to my son is still out there’
Caught in that spiral is Erica Collier, whose 31-year-old son, King, was one of the 836 people killed inside Chicago city limits in 2021 (the larger figure includes homicides cops deemed justifiable or that took place on expressways, which are investigated by the Illinois State Police so are not included in CPD’s calculations).
King Collier, an aspiring musician and artist who did demolition work to pay his bills, was shot in broad daylight on a June afternoon outside the entrance to the Parkway Gardens housing project in Woodlawn.
"I heard people screaming, so I know people were out there. Someone saw something," Erica Collier said in an interview this week. But no one seems to have come forward to police, who have been slow to provide Collier updates on her son’s case. Collier said she informed investigators that social media chatter indicated her son was mistaken for a gang member in the neighborhood, but they weren’t impressed with the lead.
"The detective told me once that they would just have to wait for the gun to be used in another shooting so they could connect it," Collier said.
"I’m living every day, knowing the person that did this to my son is still out there, and you’re telling me I got to wait for someone else to get hurt before they can find him? That don’t seem right to me."
Decades-old case closures add to 2021 clearance rate
CPD uses the same formula that the FBI has used for years to calculate the department’s clearance rate: dividing the number of cases solved — no matter what year the murder took place — by the number of murders in a given year.
But using that standard means CPD’s 50% clearance rate for 2021 includes solving the murder of Dora Perry in Little Italy. Perry’s case was marked closed last September — more than 52 years after Perry was killed in August of 1968.
Perry’s was one of 56 murders that was on CPD’s books for more than 10 years before being cleared last year. Fourteen were 30 or more years old.
No one was charged in any of those old murders, CPD records show: in 30 of the cases, prosecutors declined to file charges against suspects identified by police, and in the rest, the alleged killer had already died.
Tamar Mannasah, founder of Mothers Against Senseless Killings, doesn’t give police much credit for solving cases after dozens of years. Solving cases within weeks or months gives comfort to victims’ families and can prevent revenge shootings
"It’s almost an insult, she said, adding "like you’re doing it to look good. People don’t retaliate when somebody goes to jail. And if you have to see the person who murdered your loved one out walking around, that will put you in a murderous rage yourself."
Prosecutors deny charges in record number of cases
Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx’s office’s decision to reject charges in those older cases contributed to what is likely a record number of murder cases turned down by prosecutors.
Foxx’s office refused to bring charges in 131 cases detectives marked cleared — the most cases denied by the office in the six years that Foxx has been the county’s top prosecutor.
In public statements and off-the-record complaints, police and Mayor Lori Lightfoot have claimed prosecutors are turning down solid cases brought to them by detectives.
Foxx has defended charging decisions by her office, pointing to state laws that have raised the bar for evidence in murder cases. And a report by her office notes that under the data it maintains, it has brought charges in three-quarters of cases police brought to them — even though its figures show CPD made arrests in just 26% of the homicides that occurred in 2021.
"If the totality of evidence is enough to approve charges, then we do," spokeswoman Cristina Villarreal said in an email. "If there is not enough evidence to meet our burden of proof in court, we work closely with law enforcement to guide them in what evidence would help us meet the burden in court."
Though no one will face justice in those crimes, police say they are done actively investigating unless new evidence appears, and they are now considered "clear-closed" by the department.
Asked about why there were so many cases closed without an arrest during a year when Chicago saw near-record numbers of homicides, spokesman Don Terry said that department tabulates case clearances according to FBI guidelines.
Although the FBI allows it, many other police departments don’t include cases where prosecutors have refused charges when calculating their clearance rates, said Charles Wellford, a criminologist and emeritus professor at University of Maryland-College Park.
"That level of exceptional clearances in Chicago is unusual," Wellford said.
Few detectives chasing many murders
CPD has made efforts to revamp its detective bureau under Chief Brendan Deenihan, who took the job in 2020, a year after a national policing agency issued a lengthy report outlining shortcomings in CPD’s investigations.
Among other points, a 2019 review from the Police Executive Research Forum noted that among nearly 12,000 officers, CPD had only 138 detectives handling homicides, as part of a unit that also investigated gang and sex crimes. Some detectives said they were saddled with more than 10 cases.
The department now has 180 detectives working murder investigations, meaning each was given an average of 4.4 new cases to solve last year. The department plans to add more to bring the recommended case load down to three to four new cases per detective, Terry said.
The sheer number of murders in Chicago makes the job of solving murders more difficult than in other cities, said Herrmann, the John Jay researcher. The city sees more killings than New York and Los Angeles combined, and both cities have more detectives chasing far fewer cases.

As of 2019, 11% of New York’s sworn officers and nearly 15% of L.A.’s cops are detectives, compared to 8.4% here.
"Chicago detectives are definitely respected, but everyone acknowledges that they have so much more work to do," Herrmann said.
Police also get positive reviews from Carla Sumerlin, whose son, Torrance, was shot dead in the Tri-Taylor neighborhood in August. Earlier this month, two men were charged in the slaying, clearing his case off CPD’s books a little over six months after it happened.
Carla Sumerlin stayed in constant contact with police, and did some detective work herself, handing out letters to homes near the crime scene, pleading for witnesses to come forward. In the end, a witness and evidence from her son’s cellphone led police to the alleged killers — and gave Sumerlin and her family a moment of peace of mind.

"I have friends who have lost children and [it] didn’t turn out that way," Sumerlin said earlier this week, hours after returning home for a bond hearing for one of the suspects. "I could never understand what it would be like, to not know why or who did something like that to my son."

Mobster convicted of killing 3 people escapes federal custody in Florida
ROCHESTER, N.Y. - A New York mobster who killed three people and attempted to kill two others has escaped from federal custody in Florida after recently being moved to a halfway house, according to the Bureau of Prisons.
Dominic Taddeo, a hit man from a Rochester-area crime family, escaped on March 28, according to the Bureau of Prisons website.
Taddeo, 64, had been imprisoned at a medium-security lockup in Florida before being transferred to a residential halfway house, also in Florida, in February.
RELATED: Group of prisoners attack, kill inmate convicted of murdering 2-year-old girl, authorities say
Taddeo pleaded guilty in 1992 to racketeering charges that included the killings of three men during mob wars in the 1980s.
A federal judge in western New York denied Taddeo's request for compassionate release last year, rejecting his claim that health problems including hypertension and obesity put him at risk for serious complications from COVID-19. Prosecutors said medical records did not show that Taddeo was particularly unhealthy.
A Bureau of Prisons spokesperson did not immediately return a call seeking information about the circumstances of Taddeo's escape.

Police offered to arrest Will Smith after slap, Oscars producer says
LOS ANGELES - Oscars producer Will Packer said Los Angeles police were ready to arrest Will Smith after Smith slapped Chris Rock on the Academy Awards stage.
"They were saying, you know, this is battery, was a word they used in that moment," Packer said in a clip released by ABC News Thursday night of an interview he gave to "Good Morning America." "They said we will go get him. We are prepared. We’re prepared to get him right now. You can press charges, we can arrest him. They were laying out the options."
But Packer said Rock was "very dismissive" of the idea.
"He was like, ‘No, no, no, I’m fine," Packer said. "And even to the point where I said, ‘Rock, let them finish.’ The LAPD officers finished laying out what his options were and they said, ‘Would you like us to take any action?’ And he said no."
The LAPD said in a statement after Sunday night's ceremony that they were aware of the incident, and that Rock had declined to file a police report. The department declined to comment Thursday on Packer's interview.

In the longer version on "Good Morning America," Packer said he initially believed the slap was an orchestrated bit. "I thought it was part of something that Chris and Will were doing on their own. I thought it was a bit. I wasn’t concerned at all."
Packer said he went up to Rock after the incident. "I said, ‘Did he really hit you?’" the producer asked Rock. "And he looked at me and he goes, ‘Yeah, I just took a punch from Muhammad Ali,’ as only Chris can. He was immediately in joke mode, but you could tell that he was very much still in shock."
The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences met Wednesday to initiate disciplinary proceedings against Smith for violations against the group’s standards of conduct. Smith could be suspended, expelled or otherwise sanctioned.

The academy said in a statement that "Mr. Smith’s actions at the 94th Oscars were a deeply shocking, traumatic event to witness in-person and on television."
Without giving specifics, the academy said Smith was asked to leave the ceremony at the Dolby Theatre, but refused to do so.
Smith strode from his front-row seat onto the stage and slapped Rock after a joke Rock made about Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, when he was on stage to present the Oscar for best documentary.

On Monday, Smith issued an apology to Rock, the academy and to viewers, saying "I was out of line and I was wrong."
The academy said Smith has the opportunity to defend himself in a written response before the board meets again on April 18.
Rock publicly addressed the incident for the first time, but only briefly, at the beginning of a standup show Wednesday night in Boston, where he was greeted by a thunderous standing ovation. He said, "I’m still kind of processing what happened."

These are the worst places to live with asthma in the US
An asthma attack can be terrifying for both the suffering and those around them – gasping for breath and scrambling for an inhaler. Over 25 million in the U.S. live with asthma and 10 Americans per day die from it, according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America.
Your best chances for survival and avoiding attacks may be geographic. The AAFA identified the worst cities for asthma sufferers. The Asthma Capitals Report rated the most populated 100 U.S. cities according to the highest asthma prevalence, emergency room visits and deaths.
7 most challenging places to live with asthma:
- Allentown, Pennsylvania
- Baltimore, Maryland
- Richmond, Virginia
- Milwaukee, Wisconsin
- New Haven, Connecticut
- Cleveland, Ohio
- Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Right now, many afflicted with asthma are keeping a close eye on the high tree and grass pollen levels. Pollen is one of the top triggers of asthma.
HERE ARE THE 10 ‘ALLERGY CAPITALS’ OF AMERICA IN 2022
Chemical irritant, air pollution, extreme weather changes, smoke, dust mites, stress and exercise also are believed to trigger attacks.
"Some of the most common risk factors for developing asthma are genetic, such as having a parent with asthma or having an allergic condition," Sanaz Efekhari, V.P. of Corporate Affairs and Research for AAFA, explained. "However, many risk factors are environmental, such as developing a severe respiratory infection as a child, exposure to smoke, exposure to certain chemical irritants or industrial dusts in the workplace, and exposure to air pollutants."
The CDC estimates that asthma accounts for 1.6 million visits to the emergency room and 200,000 hospitalizations yearly.

"Asthma is a chronic disease that causes your airways to become inflamed, making it hard to breathe," Efekhari said. "When you are exposed to a trigger, symptoms may appear and cause airway swelling, mucus production and narrowing."
Emergency room visits and mortality numbers are also skewed by factors like poverty, lack of health insurance and smoking laws. Asthmatics in poverty and/or without insurance are less likely to have medicines and regular doctor visits.
The foundation’s research found that most of the cities designated as "worse than normal" were clustered in three major asthma belts; the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, the Ohio Valley and the West.
Northeast and Mid-Atlantic belt
The study suggests urban populations and those near manufacturing, industrial businesses and high-traffic roadways are most at risk and see especially high rates of childhood asthma.
These include areas in the Northeast and the mid-Atlantic.
Access to specialists was also a problem and experts said this was no truer in Allentown, Pennsylvania. The AAFA reports the city had fewer than 12 in the area.
Ohio Valley belt
The worst asthma cities across Michigan, Ohio and Kentucky all had a higher poverty rate than average, which the study points to as a key factor along with air pollution and low rates of asthma medicine use.
West belt
Lower on the list but still in the top 20 worst cities are Tuscon, Arizona and Fresno, California. Both cities had high rates of asthma related deaths.
Fresno has been hit hard by wildfires and is also plagued by poor air quality often over the winter during temperature inversions which keep pollutants at the surface (instead of mixing with higher elevation air.)
The American Lung Association gave Tuscon an "F" in their State of the Air report.
Other findings
The study also emphasized differences in asthma rates per gender, age, ethnicity and race.
- Black Americans are 1.5 times more likely and Puerto Ricans are 2 times more likely to have asthma than white Americans.
- The chance of dying of asthma increases with age. "Lifelong asthma can change the structure of your lungs, and your lungs also change as you get older," said Efekhari. "Asthma is often confused with other common diseases for this age group, like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or congestive heart failure."
- In children the male deaths outpaced female deaths 2 to 1. Female deaths in adulthood though exceeded male deaths by a ratio around 3 to 2.
The foundation keeps a close eye on extreme weather and climate change factors like rising temperatures, increasing carbon dioxide levels and increased air pollution.
"Extreme weather events can cause flooding, which promotes heavy microbial and mold growth and makes allergies and asthma worse," said Efekhari. "Wildfires caused by warmer, drier conditions produce smoke and ash that can further complicate and worsen asthma and allergy symptoms."
"For those who are triggered by pollen, rising temperatures produce more ozone and air pollutants, which releases more carbon dioxide," Efekhari continued. "This causes the growing season of plants to start earlier in the year and end later, meaning more time for pollen production and longer, more severe pollen seasons."
The ‘perfect storm’ for asthma sufferers
"The seasonal peak, or "Asthma Peak Week" is a time when we tend to see increases in asthma episodes, attacks, and asthma hospitalizations. This usually happens the third week of September," said Efekhari. "This peak happens due to a perfect storm of asthma triggers: the peak of ragweed season, increased exposure to mold from leaves, increased exposure to respiratory illnesses from children returning to school, and the start of flu season."
The AAFA plans to release an updated report in September.

Gradualism is not a mistake We can afford to be gradual as long as inflation seen converging towards target Calls for APP program to be wound down as quickly as possible Does not see QE unwinding sooner than Q3; more likely early Q3 than late Doesn't see recession, sees 'slowflation' Rate hike can come in Sept, Oct or Dec Likelihood of second round effects is becoming larger Is this an April Fool's joke?Their job is inflation
Inflation
Inflation is defined as a quantitative measure of the rate in which the average price level of goods and services in an economy or country increases over a period of time. It is the rise in the general level of prices where a given currency effectively buys less than it did in prior periods.In terms of assessing the strength or currencies, and by extension foreign exchange, inflation or measures of it are extremely influential. Inflation stems from the overall creation of money. This money is measured by the level of the total money supply of a specific currency, for example the US dollar, which is constantly increasing. However, an increase in the money supply does not necessarily mean that there is inflation. What leads to inflation is a faster increase in the money supply in relation to the wealth produced (measured with GDP). As such, this generates pressure of demand on a supply that does not increase at the same rate. The consumer price index then increases, generating inflation.How Does Inflation Affect Forex?The level of inflation has a direct impact on the exchange rate between two currencies on several levels.This includes purchasing power parity, which attempts to compare different purchasing powers of each country according to the general price level. In doing so, this makes it possible to determine the country with the most expensive cost of living.The currency with the higher inflation rate consequently loses value and depreciates, while the currency with the lower inflation rate appreciates on the forex market.Interest rates are also impacted. Inflation rates that are too high push interest rates up, which has the effect of depreciating the currency on foreign exchange. Conversely, inflation that is too low (or deflation) pushes interest rates down, which has the effect of appreciating the currency on the forex market.

Read this Term near 2% and it was at 7.5% in today's report. Show a bit of humility.
My favourite take is that the ECB can't end QE earlier and hike because it would damage the credibility of their forward guidance.And if 'slowflation' is their baseline, you know it's bad; because they're always too optimistic.

- Inflation reports should start to slow in H2
- Raising rates to just under 2.50% by March 2023 gives Fed 'optionality'
- Don't appreciate why Fed's most recent rate-path projections have suddenly become stale
- Latest jobs report is not indicative of overheating
Evans explained that raising rates by 50 bps puts a premium on the Fed emphasizing the ultimate top of rates and he said that will be important moving forward. Evans is generally a good barometer for the core of the FOMC.

April is a seasonally-weak month for the US dollar but it's not starting out that way.
The dollar is gathering a broad bid at the moment, particularly against NZD, JPY and GBP.
NZD/USD is at the lowest levels since Monday and down 40 pips since the start of US trading. 1 hour chart:
Adding to the downward pressure on NZD is a bleed in US equities after a positive start.
It's tough to glean too much today as it's a Friday and the first trading day of the month. Bond sellers are certainly in charge and that's the main mover. US 2-year yields are up 15 bps to 2.44%, which is challenging Tuesday's cycle high.
Global yields are also moving up but not to the same extent.

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks are holding steady on Wall Street Friday while Treasury yields soar, after a healthy report on the U.S. job market strengthened expectations for coming interest-rate hikes.
The S&P 500 was virtually unchanged in morning trading after flitting between small gains and losses. The index could clinch its first three-week winning streak since November, as the dizzying swings that earlier rocked markets worldwide ramp down. Still, worries remain about high inflation, higher interest rates from the Federal Reserve and the economic effects of the war in Ukraine.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 68 points, or 0.2%, at 34,610, as of 10:39 a.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 0.2% higher.
The sharpest action was again in the bond market, where the yield on the two-year Treasury approached its highest level in more than three years.
Yields jumped after a U.S. government report showed employers added 431,000 jobs last month. That was slightly below economists’ expectations for 477,500, but the report also revised earlier months’ data to reflect more strength. It showed raises for workers accelerated last month but at a slower pace than overall inflation, while the unemployment rate improved to 3.6% from 3.7%.
“This was a solid report,” said Brian Jacobsen, senior investment strategist at Allspring Global Investments.
“You can see the worries about COVID fading. Fewer people are working remotely. Fewer people are saying they can’t work due to the pandemic.”
A separate report showed that U.S. manufacturing is continuing to grow, though at a slower rate than in February.
A strong jobs market and economy give the Federal Reserve more leeway to raise interest rates sharply in order to beat down the high inflation that’s sweeping the country. The Fed has already raised its key overnight rate once, the first such increase since 2018. Following Friday’s jobs report, traders increased bets that the Fed will raise rates at its next meeting by double the usual amount.
Such expectations drive shorter-term Treasury yields in particular, and the two-year yield leaped to 2.45% from 2.28% late Thursday.
The two-year yield again rose slightly above the 10-year yield, which was also climbing but not as quickly. The 10-year yield rose to 2.42% from 2.33%. On Tuesday, the two-year yield briefly topped the 10-year yield for the first time since 2019, a potentially ominous sign.
Such a flip of the usual relationship between two- and 10-year yields has preceded many recessions in the past, though it hasn’t been a perfect predictor. Some market watchers caution the signal may be less accurate this time, because of distortions in yields caused by extraordinary measures by the Federal Reserve and other central banks to keep interest rates low.
Shares of GameStop rose 4.2% to top $173 after it said it plans to split its stock, pending approval from shareholders for an increase in the number of its authorized shares. Such splits can bring down the price of a share of stock, potentially putting it in reach of more smaller-pocketed investors.
GameStop’s stock has more than doubled since sitting at $78.11 in mid-March. But it’s still well below the $483 peak reached in early 2021 amid the “meme stock” craze. Then, bands of smaller-pocketed investors joined together to pump prices to levels seen as irrational by many professional investors.
Other meme stocks have also shown renewed strength in recent weeks, though AMC Entertainment fell 4.6% Friday.
In overseas markets, European stocks were modestly higher despite a report showing consumer prices in the 19 countries that use the euro currency rose by an annual rate of 7.5% in March, the fifth straight monthly record.
France’s CAC 40 rose 0.3%, Germany’s DAX returned 0.2% and the FTSE 100 in London added 0.3%.
Oil and gas prices had already been rising because of increasing demand from economies recovering from the depths of the COVID-19 pandemic. They jumped higher after Russia, a major oil and gas producer, invaded Ukraine, on fears that sanctions and export restrictions could crimp supplies.
Crude prices slipped modestly on Friday, with a a barrel of U.S. oil dipping 0.4% to $99.91. Early last month, when disruptions to crude supplies were at their height, it briefly touched $130.
Brent crude, the international standard, fell 0.3% to $104.44 per barrel.
In Asia, stocks were mixed.
The Nikkei 225 fell 0.6% after the Bank of Japan’s closely watched quarterly gauge of business sector sentiment,the “tankan,” showed the benchmark indicator for large manufacturers dropped for the first time in seven quarters.
South Korea’s Kospi fell 0.6%, while stocks in Shanghai rose 0.9%.
Rising COVID-19 cases in China are adding to the worries of a regional slowdown. The lockdown in Shanghai entered its second phase of extended restrictions, while restrictions were lifted in hard-hit Jilin.

The Film Exhibitors United Organization of Kerala (FEUOK) thinks that releasing the superhero flick ‘Minnal Murali’ in OTT had, in fact, failed to boost the career of Tovino Thomas, its lead actor. FEUOK President Vijaykumar said that the stars would lose their stardom when back-to-back movies are released on OTT platforms. He even pointed out Tovino and Tamil actor Suriya as examples of this. Tovino’s ‘Minnal Murali’ and ‘Jai Bhim’ starring Suriya in the lead role were critically acclaimed and enjoyed successful runs on the respective OTT platforms.
“No star can exist in the movie industry if the audience do not enjoy their films in the theatres. Tamil actor Suriya’s case is the best example of that. People are reluctant to reach the theatres to watch his latest movie, despite being a good one. Tovino Thomas had worked really hard in ‘Minnal Murali’. However, I wonder whether that movie had given his career any advantage. His latest movie ‘Naaradan’ had a lukewarm response in the theatres because ‘Minnal Murali’ had an OTT release. The stars whose movies are regularly released on OTT gets easily forgotten by the audience. The actors too should realize this. I am sure that some of them are realizing that fact now.
‘Naaradan’ was an amazing movie. However, it didn’t create any ripples in the theatres in Kerala. ‘Naaradan’ wouldn’t have had this misfortune had ‘Minnal Murali’ released in the theaters,” said Vijayakumar.

For the week the high price was reached on Monday at 0.75394. The low price was on Tuesday at 0.74554. The range of 84 pips is the lowest range for 2022 and the lowest range since the December 26th, 2021 week (holiday week). The lowest range in 2022 was at 107 pips prior to this week. The pair has been confined to a 91 pip trading range for 8 days now.
Buyers and sellers are unsure of the next move given the non-trend nature in the market over the last 8 trading days. However, at some point the next shove will occur sending the pair away from current levels.
Of note for next week, the shove may come on Tuesday as the RBA is scheduled to meet and keep rates unchanged at their policy meeting. However, according to a Reuters poll, the RBA will end its longest easing cycle on record by the end of the third quarter. Some economists see a rate hike as soon as after the federal election in May.
How the current path for rates is portrayed by the RBA given all that is going on in the world now, will be eyed and could lead to the break and run at that time.
For now, the pair remains mired in the range with swings above and below the 100/200 hour MAs as bias defining levels between the extremes.

Can’t decide on a glamping vacation or a vineyard tour trip? Why not both?
Pitchup is a London-based online booking site for campsites, glamping sites, RV parks and more. They list more than 5,500 sites in 67 countries throughout Europe, North America, South America, Australia and Africa. And some of them offer accommodations that aren’t just near gorgeous, rolling vineyards but actually on them.
For wine enthusiasts who adore the outdoors, it’s the best of both worlds. You have access to nature-filled accommodations as well as heavenly wine from charming, unique vineyards. And since you are staying on the grounds, you don’t have to worry about driving after lots of sampling. Instead, you can indulge to your heart’s content and then drift off to sleep under the stars surrounded by lush grape fields.
Check out this dreamy collection of places to camp at vineyards around the globe.
Birds And Barrels Vineyard In Willcox, Arizona
When thinking of vineyards, the Sonoran Desert might not be the first location that comes to mind. But in fact, the deep southwest region of the U.S. is home to a number of popular wineries. The warm, arid landscape is similar to the climate of Southern France and Spain, so many Spanish grapes thrive in the area.
About 90 miles east of Tucson, Willcox is home to several vineyards, including Birds and Barrels. Enveloped by mountain vistas, this family-run winery offers no-frills sites suitable for grass tents, campers and RVs among around 50 acres of vines. Campers can take in the vineyard’s tours and tastings, spectacular sunsets and stargazing under clear night skies. They can also hike in the Chiricahua Mountains or walk to other wineries in the region.
Prices start at $25 a night.
Vineyard And Canvas In Rutland, England
Nestled in the beautiful English countryside, Vineyard and Canvas is sited on seven acres of private property. Along with grapevines, campers can enjoy secluded picnic areas, escape into private hideaways and explore the lush landscape.
The glamping site features luxurious canopy bell tents that comfortably sleep up to four adults. Each tent features handmade oak beds, contemporary furnishings, kitchen equipment and outdoor verandas. From the moment you arrive, you can relax and enjoy a bottle of wine while taking in the verdant fields.
Prices start at about $162 a night for canopy tents that sleep four people, but you can rent a basic campsite for around $53.
Wolds Wine Estate In Nottinghamshire, England
Planted in 2020 with its first wines becoming available next year, Wolds Wine Estate is a family vineyard that also grows a mixture of varieties of cider apple and perry pear trees. As a result, campers can enjoy a firsthand experience of starting a winery from the ground up.
However, a stay here would never be considered “roughing it.” The vineyard has two- and four-person luxury pods available to rent. These modern glamping cabins have sleek design features, full kitchens, furnished bedrooms and cozy sitting areas that look out onto the property. Group activities available include wine tastings, vineyard yoga and cocktail-making classes.
Prices start at about $138 a night.
Wine Camp HažiÄ In MeÄimurje, Croatia
If you happen to be traveling through Croatia’s hilly, green MeÄimurje County, you won’t want to miss a stay at this stunning family-operated farm and vineyard. Nestled in the countryside, Wine Camp HažiÄ features powered tent and RV sites, and some mobile homes may be available.
There is also a wooden wine house boasting panoramic views of the hillside that serves local specialties like cured meats, cheeses and Croatian black bread, made from dark, whole wheat flour. These samplings are perfect to pair with the vineyard’s homegrown white and sparkling wines, cider and apple juice.
Prices start at about $47.
Le Clos Des Epinettes In Loir-Et-Cher, France
This truly unique glamping experience lies in the heart of France’s Loire Valley and within walking distance to the region’s famed vineyards and historic chateaux. Le Clos des Epinettes is a quaint campground with charming gypsy wagons equipped with double beds and cozy futons. Wine lovers can enjoy an idyllic outdoor experience at the campground.
Amenities include bathrooms, a barbecue area and a kitchen. Staff is available to prepare breakfasts, as well. Angé, a village with river walks and a small bar, is less than a mile away.
Prices start at around $93 a night.
Quinta De Santa Marinha In Arcos De Valdevez, Portugal
In the hills of Arcos de Valdevez along the northern frontier of Portugal and Galicia, Spain, Quinta de Santa Marinha overlooks the immense Douro River Valley, a historical wine region. Although the property is small, the views are breathtaking.
Campsites include electric hook-ups, wooden compost toilets and free Wi-Fi connections. As a bonus, campers have access to wine-tasting sessions and organic dishes prepared by the resident chef and owner. Tours of the vineyard are also available.
Prices start at about $11 a night for a power-optional travel trailer site.
Check out Pitchup.com for even more unique camping and glamping sites. You can find places to stay in beautiful locations around the world or even in your own neck of the woods.

Entergy Louisiana announced that they recently completed an $86 million transmission system upgrade in Lafourche Parish.
The company says the work will improve the resiliency and reliability of the local power grid for approximately 10,000 customers in the Bayou Region.
Roughly seven miles of powerlines were upgraded and approximately 80 steel structures between Cut Off and Golden Meadow were replaced with infrastructure built to withstand winds of up to 150 mph, the company says.
“The Bayou Region is no stranger to catastrophic storms, and that’s why we’re proud to have completed another project aimed at improving reliability and increasing the resilience of the electric system,” said Phillip May, Entergy Louisiana president and CEO. “We’re always working to improve and upgrade our infrastructure, and the completion of this transmission work is just another example of doing just that to be storm ready for our customers and the communities we serve.”
To transport materials and equipment and traverse the area’s terrain, crews used marsh and pontoon buggies and other specialized equipment. Not only was some of the equipment used for installation engineered and manufactured specifically for this project, but new infrastructure was placed into steel caissons to create strong foundations, the company says.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (KSTU) — A Delta flight leaving from the Salt Lake City International Airport had to make an emergency landing after the plane's windshield shattered while in the air on Thursday.
A passenger on the plane, Dr. Kirk Knowlton, snapped a picture of the cracked windshield.
In a tweet, Knowlton said that during the flight, it was announced the plane would need to make an emergency landing in Denver because of the window.
The plane was headed to Washington D.C. before it had to land. Delta Air Lines said there were 198 passengers on the flight.
Knowlton said the crew told passengers the shattered window happened spontaneously.
The plane was able to safely land in Denver and passengers were able to catch another flight.
Knowlton acknowledged that the Delta crew was able to handle the situation "very nicely."
Representatives from Delta Air Lines released a statement in regard to the incident:
"Delta flight 760 from Salt Lake City to Washington D.C. experienced a maintenance issue mid-flight. Out of an abundance of caution, the flight crew diverted into Denver and the plane landed routinely. Our team worked quickly to accommodate customers on a new plane, and we sincerely apologize for the delay and inconvenience to their travel plans."

DETROIT (AP) — New vehicles sold in the U.S. will have to travel an average of at least 40 miles per gallon of gasoline in 2026 under new rules unveiled by the government.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Friday that its fuel economy requirements will undo a rollback enacted under President Donald Trump.
The new requirements increase gas mileage by 8% per year for model years 2024 and 2025 and 10% in the 2026 model year.
For the current model year, standards enacted under Trump require the fleet of new vehicles to get just over 24 miles per gallon in real-world driving.
Some environmental groups say the new standards aren't tough enough, saying that it's about 2 mpg short of what the NHTSA considered, the Associated Press reported.
Compared to the Trump standards, gasoline consumption will be reduced by more than 220 billion throughout the car's lifetime.
NHTSA said that by 2050, carbon dioxide emissions would drop by 2.5 billion metric tons under the standards and those with a 2029 model vehicle would save about $1,400 in gasoline costs during the car's lifetime.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) — A New York mobster who killed three people and attempted to kill two others has escaped from federal custody.
The Bureau of Prisons website says Dominic Taddeo escaped on March 28.
The 64-year-old had been imprisoned at a medium-security lockup in Florida before being transferred to a residential halfway house in February.
Taddeo pleaded guilty in 1992 to racketeering charges that included the killings of three men during mob wars in the 1980s. He was reportedly serving a 54-year sentence.
A federal judge in western New York denied Taddeo’s request for compassionate release last year.
A Bureau of Prisons spokesperson did not immediately return a call seeking information about Taddeo’s escape.

HENDERSON COUNTY, N.C. (WSPA) – A man was arrested for attempting to meet a teen for sex in Henderson County.
The Henderson County Sheriff’s Office said detectives had been actively investigating Glenn Joseph Hull, 50, of Lenoir, for solicitation of a child through the internet in an attempt to meet for sex.
On March 25, detectives arrested Hull after he drove to a pre-arranged location in Henderson County believing he was going to meet a 13-year-old.
Deputies charged Hull with one felony count of solicitation of child by computer or electronic device to commit an unlawful sex act, and one count of obscene literature and exhibitions.
Hull was booked into the Henderson County Detention Center under a $45,000 bond.

(The Hill) — The Transportation Department on Friday announced that it boosted car efficiency standards that had been cut by the Trump administration.
The department finalized standards that would require automakers to produce fleets of cars and light trucks averaging 49 miles per gallon in model year 2026.
The new standards are more stringent than the Trump-era standards, which would have required 40 miles per gallon for the 2026 fleet.
However, the real-world totals may look slightly different under each standard, as the department has noted that real-world fuel economy levels are typically lower than the test conditions under which the standards are applied.
Nevertheless, the standards are expected to have both climate and consumer benefits, and officials made the case on Friday that they will also improve the country’s energy independence by decreasing our reliance on oil.
“We cannot let families’ futures or our national economy be decided in oil company board rooms,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg told reporters. “Today’s rule is going to save 234 billion gallons of fuel by 2050 and move us into a less dependent future.”
On climate change, the rule is also expected to have significant impacts. Buttigieg said that it would prevent 5.5 trillion pounds of planet-warming carbon dioxide from going into the atmosphere by 2050.
The transportation sector is the largest contributor to climate change in the U.S., and light-duty vehicles are responsible for more than half of those emissions.
The move comes after the Environmental Protection Agency late last year also reversed the Trump administration’s cuts to regulations on how much planet-warming carbon dioxide cars can emit through their tailpipes.
The set of clean car standards is expected to push automakers towards producing more electric vehicles.
Friday’s standards are expected to result in 8 percent annual increases for model years 2024 and 2025 and a 10 percent increase for 2026.
The requirements come as some industry players have announced in recent months that they plan to incorporate a greater share of electric vehicles into their fleets, and President Joe Biden has called for 50 percent of vehicle sales to be electric in 2030.

Chris Rock takes to comedy mic, still processing Oscar slap
BOSTON (AP) — Chris Rock received several standing ovations before he told one joke Wednesday at his first comedy show since Will Smith slapped him in the face onstage at the Oscars.
Rock only briefly addressed the slap to the sold out crowd in Boston, saying he was “still kind of processing what happened.”
“Other than the weird thing, life is pretty good,” Rock said midway through his first of two sets. The nighttime performances came just three days after Smith smacked the comedian for making a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, while presenting an Academy Award.
Rock didn’t mention Smith or Pinkett Smith by name at his show in Boston. Wearing all white, he seemed to be almost embarrassed by the multiple ovations he received. As the applause carried on for minutes — with fans yelling “I love you, Chris!” — the comedian appeared to be getting emotional, a guest seated near the stage told The Associated Press.
“How was your weekend?” Rock joked before getting into his set.
Ticket prices skyrocketed after Smith took to the awards stage and slapped Rock on live TV, but the comedian made clear he wasn’t going to talk at length about it Wednesday.
“If you came to hear that, I’m not ... I had like a whole show I wrote before this weekend,” Rock said.
He spent much of the night skewering celebrities and politicians. Among them were the Duchess of Sussex, the Kardashians, as well as President Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton and former President Donald Trump.
Outside the venue, a fan showed off a T-shirt featuring the “G.I. Jane” logo and Pinkett Smith’s face. Another had a shirt he made that showed Smith’s face and displayed a crude joke about the couple’s relationship.
At least one person yelled during the show that Rock should sue Smith.
Rock’s joke at the Oscars was about Jada Pinkett Smith’s buzzed haircut: “Jada, I love you. ‘G.I. Jane 2,’ can’t wait to see it,” Rock said, comparing Pinkett Smith to Demi Moore’s “G.I. Jane” character, who had a buzz cut in the 1997 film.
Smith promptly stood up from his seat at the front of the venue and took to the stage, slapping Rock across the face before sitting back down and yelling at Rock to keep his wife’s name out of his mouth.
Pinkett Smith has spoken publicly about her diagnosis of alopecia, which can cause baldness.
Within an hour, Smith won best actor, receiving a standing ovation. During his five-minute acceptance speech, Smith talked about defending his family and apologized to the academy. A day later, Smith issued an apology to the comedian, to the academy and to viewers at home, saying he was “out of line” and that his actions are “not indicative of the man I want to be.”
Pinkett Smith responded Tuesday with a graphic on Instagram that read: “This is a season of healing and I’m here for it.” She offered no further comment.
George Guay, a 24-year-old fan from Boston who grew up on “Everybody Hates Chris,” said he bought a ticket after Rock was slapped by Smith.
“He’s the most popular celebrity so I want to be here,” Guay said before the show, adding that he hoped Rock would open with a response to the situation. “I just want a good show.”
Afterward, some fans were a little disappointed he did not address the controversy more directly. But they also said they could see from his body language that he wasn’t sure how to do it.
“As soon as I saw him, his mood was a little bit shocked,” said Dave Henriquez, a 48-year-old musician from Newton, Massachusetts. “I got that it was weighing on him.”
Erin Ryan, a 33-year-old teacher also from Newton who was with Henriquez, said she felt Rock wanted to perform his act, “not make the standup about the one incident.”
Kathryn West-Hines, a 50-year-old Pilates instructor from Malden, Massachusetts, said she came away with even more respect for Rock. “I thought it was amazing, classy,” she said, adding that he wasn’t going to let “what happened Sunday” take away his shine.
The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences condemned Smith striking Rock. Its board of governors met Wednesday to initiate disciplinary proceedings against Smith for violations of the group’s standards of conduct. The academy said it had asked Smith to leave the ceremony after hitting Rock, but he refused to do so.
This was not the first time Rock had made a joke at Pinkett Smith’s expense. When he hosted the 2016 Oscars, some people boycotted the ceremony over the #OscarsSoWhite group of nominees, including the Smiths. Said Rock then: “Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna’s panties. I wasn’t invited.”
Wanda Sykes, who co-hosted the Oscars with Amy Schumer and Regina Hall, said she felt physically ill after Smith slapped Rock. In an interview with Ellen DeGeneres scheduled to air April 7, Sykes also said letting Smith stay and accept his award should not have happened.
The drama overshadowed some historical wins at an Oscars. The deaf family drama “CODA” became the first film with a largely deaf cast to win best picture. For the first time, a streaming service, Apple TV+, took Hollywood’s top honor, signaling a profound shift in Hollywood and in moviegoing. Wins for Ariana DeBose of “West Side Story, ”Troy Kotsur of “CODA” and Jane Campion, director of “The Power of the Dog,” all had made history.

Pro-choice protesters kicked out of gallery as abortion bill passes Ky. Senate
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - A bill with multiple restrictions on abortion passed the Senate 29-0 on Tuesday night after all but one Democrat walked out of the chambers before the vote.
House Bill 3 would ban abortion pills from being purchased online in Kentucky. Instead, women and girls would have to be seen by a doctor before undergoing the procedure.
Minors would also have to get written consent from at least one parent, and their doctor would have to wait at least 48 hours for the other parent to respond before performing the abortion.
Under the bill, girls could also petition a judge who would have 72 hours to decide whether she should have an abortion. Financial concerns would not be allowed as an excuse to be granted an abortion, and there would be no exemptions for victims of rape or incest.
In addition, the bill would change the current 20-week abortion ban to 15 weeks. After that time, abortions would be illegal.
House Bill 3 now sits on Gov. Andy Beshear’s desk, who will either veto the bill or sign it into law. If vetoed, lawmakers may still have time to override it once they return April 13 and 14.
The bill’s supporters say the restrictions are to ensure the health and safety of women and girls.
“House Bill 3 will prevent at home, pill by mail, do it yourself abortions that leave women to fend for themselves if medical complications arise,” Sen. Ralph Alvarado (D-Winchester) said.
Alvarado added House Bill 3 is even more important since the FDA lifted the in-person requirement to obtain abortion pills in Dec. 2021.
“Women may have that choice, but babies usually don’t get it,” Sen. Adrienne Southworth (R-Anderson) said. “And the reason we have to pass laws like this is to be sure babies have a say as well.”
While the bill won’t make abortions illegal in Kentucky, some worry it will end access in the state. They add legislators are inflicting their religions and morals onto women and girls with House Bill 3.
“This oversight is specifically designed to regulate a safe, effective medical procedure out of existence because you don’t believe in it,” Sen. Karen Berg (D-Louisville) said.
“This issue has nothing to do with politics, nothing to do with politics, this is a healthcare issue,” Jackie McGranahan, an ACLU-KY policy strategist said. “Abortion is healthcare and using it in this type of political way, it’s dangerous to people, it’s dangerous to pregnant people all over the state.”
The debate Tuesday became so heated, a protester cursed at a lawmaker and was kicked out. Several others were removed later.
“Constituents don’t have a voice at the table,” Tamarra Wieder, the Kentucky state director of Planned Parenthood Alliance Advocates said. “Those directly impacted get very few opportunities to speak to legislators or hold their audience for more than a few seconds. I think it was a moment where people felt compelled to action, and they did.”
Wieder added if the bill passes, it would negatively impact poor Kentuckians and those who live in rural areas the most.
Planned Parenthood is now looking at ways to help women cross state lines to obtain abortions.

US returns to World Cup despite 2-0 loss at Costa Rica
SAN JOSE, Costa Rica (AP) - Christian Pulisic walked across the field with a towel draped around his head, angry after another U.S. defeat.
“We’re competitors, man. We hate to lose. In the moment I was frustrated,” he said. “It took me a little bit for it to sink in, that the qualification hit.”
Nearly 4 1/2 years after Pulisic buried his head in his hands to hide tears of failure, the U.S. rebounded to qualify for this year’s World Cup. A 2-0 loss to Costa Rica on Wednesday left the Americans in third place after the final night of qualifying, the final guaranteed berth from North and Central America and the Caribbean.
For Pulisic, DeAndre Yedlin, Kellyn Acosta and Paul Arriola, smiles of relief broke out after an unrelenting burden was lifted.
“This is whatever I’ve always wanted to be, and right now emotions are a bit crazy,” Pulisic said, his voice quavering.
On the 1,267th day after a 2-1 loss at Trinidad and Tobago ended the Americans’ streak of seven straight World Cup appearances, Yedlin addressed the team before the kickoff.
“I just thanked each and every one of them for giving me a second opportunity to redeem myself, and the country a second opportunity to redeem itself,” said the 28-year-old defender, the only American left from the 2014 tournament.
The U.S. remained winless in 12 qualifiers at Costa Rica, with 10 defeats and two draws.
Juan Pablo Vargas got behind Walker Zimmerman and headed Brandon Aguilera’s corner kick past goalkeeper Zack Steffen in the 51st minute, and Anthony Contreras knocked in Jewison Bennette’s cross off a scramble in the 59th after Steffen palmed Aguilar’s free kick toward Contreras and blocked Contreras’ initial shot.
Coach Gregg Berhalter, who played for the U.S. at the 2002 World Cup, congratulated the players in the locker room. Starting lineups in the 14 qualifiers averaged an American-record low of 23 years, 302 days.
“Being the youngest team in the world to qualify for the World Cup is no easy task,” he said. “It’s a proud moment for the team, proud moment for U.S. Soccer, and we’re looking forward to competing in the World Cup again.”
A sellout crowd of about 35,000 in National Stadium came to life with the goals, but the Americans’ 5-1 rout of Panama at home last weekend gave them a huge goal-difference margin over Costa Rica. That meant the U.S. merely had to avoid losing by six goals or more in order to claim an automatic berth.
Canada, which had clinched its first World Cup trip since 1986 with a win Sunday, finished first in the group with 28 points after a 1-0 loss at Panama, ahead of Mexico on goal difference. El Tri clinched its eighth straight World Cup berth with a 2-0 home win over El Salvador, while the U.S. (25 points) finished third with a plus-11 goal difference to plus-five for Costa Rica (also 25 points).
Ticos coach Luis Fernando Suárez benched six starters from Sunday’s win at El Salvador who carried yellow cards, not wanting to risk a suspension for a June playoff against Oceania champion New Zealand.
As Berhalter spoke to his team, 24-year-old defender Erik-Palmer Brown popped open the first bottle of Duet Mosseux Brut, starting a brief bubbly and beer celebration before some players caught a charter flight to London. Berhalter headed with staff for a red-eye flight to New York and a connection for Qatar ahead of Friday’s draw.
U.S. bench players walked onto the field at the final whistle and exchanged handshakes and hugs with their teammates, while home fans cheered the Ticos. Then American players put on ski goggles and let loose.
“The party is going. I think we have run out of beer,” said Zimmerman, a 28-year-old defender who didn’t play in the first three qualifiers, then started 10 of the last 11. “Coming into the locker room, everyone just decided, you know what, we realized our goal, which was to qualify, and we did that, so everyone kind of forgot about tonight. We put ourselves in that position, where we could afford to do that.”
The U.S. finds out at Friday’s draw which three nations it will face in the group stage, which starts Nov. 21 at a tournament pushed back five months to avoid summer desert heat. A growing and increasingly hypercritical fan base is hoping to see Pulisic & Co. reach the quarterfinals for the first time since 2002.
“Now we have to test ourselves against the best players in the world, the best teams in the world,” said midfielder Tyler Adams, who came off at halftime with a bruise above his left knee from a tackle. “This was only the first stage in our development.”
Pulisic, the first American to play in and win a Champions League final, had been consumed with trying to lift the U.S. back to a World Cup. He led the team with five of its 21 goals despite making just seven starts due to COVID-19, a sprained ankle and shaky form when he first came back from the injury.
“Looking at the big picture, we’re obviously so proud to represent our country at a World Cup, so we’re thrilled for that. In a couple of days, I don’t think we’ll be thinking about this game,” he said. “I think we can do a lot of damage, man. I think we’re a confident bunch of guys, and, yeah, I think the country will get behind us.”

ROCK SPRINGS -- The Sweetwater Events Complex is excited to bring Grammy® Award-winning superstar sibling trio The Band Perry to the stage at Wyoming’s Big Show. The Band Perry will wrap up the Wyoming’s Big Show concert series when they hit the stage on Saturday, August 6th at 8:30 p.m.
An unstoppable presence in modern music, The Band Perry has sold two and a half million albums, 13 million singles, and have racked up over 2 billion combined streams on their songs. Since releasing their groundbreaking crossover #1 single “If I Die Young” in 2010 (with its current septuple-platinum status and over 200 million video views), The Band Perry have forged a unique identity and built an international fanbase leading to sold-out world tours, five No.1 singles on the Billboard Country Chart, a No. 1 single on the Hot AC charts, six songs reaching gold or platinum status, and in 2015, bringing home their first Grammy® Award.
They’ve performed on TV’s biggest stages, from late night’s most influential (The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Late Late Show with James Corden, The Late Show with David Letterman) to daytime’s most popular (Ellen, Good Morning America, The Today Show), and their track “Live Forever” was the official theme song for Team USA at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio. The story of Kimberly, Reid, and Neil is writing its next chapter with the release of their much anticipated third country album later this year.
Known for their boundary-pushing live performances, the band’s combination of music, fashion, and visual art has become a hallmark of their dialogue with their fans and with culture. Their creative efforts boast collaborations with artistic luminaries such as Steven Klein, Nicola Formichetti, and Neil Krug. Even with the extraordinary musical and visual concepts they’ve
introduced in their career thus far, the next era promises to see the band expanding these boundaries yet again.
Saturday of Wyoming’s Big Show is sponsored by Simplot with support from Explore Rock Springs & Green River. The Sweetwater Events Complex previously announced Mitchell Tenpenny on Tuesday, August 2nd and Little River Band for Wednesday, August 3rd. More concert announcements are coming up for 2022. Watch for announcements every Thursday for the next two weeks. For the most up to date information and a listing of all the family entertainment visit the website at www.SweetwaterEvents.com.

LEIDEN, Netherlands, April 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Pharming Group N.V. ("Pharming" or "the Company") (EURONEXT Amsterdam: PHARM/Nasdaq: PHAR) announces new data from the pivotal Phase II/III trial of leniolisib for the treatment of activated phosphoinositide 3-kinase delta (PI3Kδ) syndrome (APDS), a primary immunodeficiency. Principal Investigator V. Koneti Rao, M.D., a staff physician in the Primary Immune Deficiency Clinic at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, shared the findings in a presentation at the Clinical Immunology Society (CIS) 2022 Annual Meeting.
As announced on February 2, 2022, the multinational, triple-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, Phase III portion of the clinical trial, conducted by Novartis, met its co-primary endpoints, which evaluated reduction in lymph node size and correction of immunodeficiency. The shrinking of lymphadenopathy lesions and increased proportion of naïve B cells are important in this population, as they indicate a reduction in APDS disease markers. Presented for the first time at CIS, the co-primary endpoints at day 85 after baseline demonstrated:
- In the index lymphadenopathy lesions, a statistically significant adjusted mean change in the log10 transformed sum of product of diameters (SPD) of -0.30 among patients who received leniolisib compared with -0.06 among patients who received placebo (95% CI: -0.37, -0.11; p=0.0012).
- From a baseline level of ˂48%, an increase of 34.76% in the proportion of naïve B cells in patients who received leniolisib versus a -5.37% decrease in patients who received placebo (95% CI: 28.51, 51.75; p˂0.0001).
The study drug was well-tolerated. There were no adverse events that led to discontinuation of study treatment, there were no deaths, and the incidence of serious adverse events (SAEs) was lower in the leniolisib group than in the placebo group. None of the SAEs were suspected to be related to study treatment.
Charlotte Cunningham-Rundles, M.D., Ph.D., David S. Gottesman Professor of Immunology at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, said:
"It is great news that leniolisib has achieved such positive results in this Phase III study in APDS. It is extremely encouraging to see that this medication is capable of targeting the cause of this difficult disease, both improving care and reducing patients' symptoms. Progress toward a treatment that is tailor-made for our patients with APDS is a milestone we have long awaited."
Pharming plans to begin submitting global regulatory filings for leniolisib in the second quarter of 2022 and, subject to approval, launching the treatment in the U.S. in the first quarter of 2023 and starting a series of European launches in the second half of 2023.
Anurag Relan, Chief Medical Officer of Pharming, commented:
"Pharming is delighted that leniolisib achieved significance in both co-primary endpoints and was well tolerated in these APDS patients, as the product's approval would address an unmet need for those with this rare disease, who currently rely on supportive therapies such as antibiotics and immunoglobulin replacement therapy. In addition to working closely with regulatory authorities across the globe to make leniolisib available to immunologists, hematologists, and their patients, we will continue to develop this treatment through our open-label extension study and two additional studies that will enroll children under the age of 12, as well as potentially extending the geographic reach of the product."
About Activated Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase δ Syndrome (APDS)
APDS is a rare primary immunodeficiency that affects approximately one to two people per million. Also known as PASLI, it is caused by variants in either of two genes, PIK3CD or PIK3R1, that regulate maturation of white blood cells. Variants of these genes lead to hyperactivity of the PI3Kδ (phosphoinositide 3-kinase delta) pathway.1,2 Balanced signaling in the PI3Kδ pathway is essential for physiological immune function. When this pathway is hyperactive, immune cells fail to mature and function properly, leading to immunodeficiency and dysregulation.1,3 APDS is characterized by severe, recurrent sinopulmonary infections, lymphoproliferation, autoimmunity, and enteropathy.4,5 Because these symptoms can be associated with a variety of conditions, including other primary immunodeficiencies, people with APDS are frequently misdiagnosed and suffer a median 7-year diagnostic delay.6 As APDS is a progressive disease, this delay may lead to an accumulation of damage over time, including permanent lung damage and lymphoma.4-7 The only way to definitively diagnose this condition is through genetic testing.
About leniolisib
Leniolisib is a small-molecule inhibitor of the delta isoform of the 110 kDa catalytic subunit of class IA PI3K with immunomodulating and potentially anti-neoplastic activities. Leniolisib inhibits the production of phosphatidylinositol-3-4-5-trisphosphate (PIP3). PIP3 serves as an important cellular messenger specifically activating AKT (via PDK1) and regulates a multitude of cell functions such as proliferation, differentiation, cytokine production, cell survival, angiogenesis, and metabolism. Unlike PI3Kα and PI3Kβ, which are ubiquitously expressed, PI3Kẟ and PI3Kγ are expressed primarily in cells of hematopoietic origin. The central role of PI3Kẟ in regulating numerous cellular functions of the adaptive immune system (B-cells and, to a lesser extent, T cells) as well as the innate immune system (neutrophils, mast cells, and macrophages) strongly indicates that PI3Kẟ is a valid and potentially effective therapeutic target for several immune diseases.
To date, leniolisib has been well tolerated during both the Phase 1 first-in-human trial in healthy subjects and the Phase II/III registration-enabling study.
About Pharming Group N.V.
Pharming Group N.V. is a global, commercial stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative protein replacement therapies and precision medicines for the treatment of rare diseases and unmet medical needs.
The flagship of our portfolio is our recombinant human C1 esterase inhibitor (rhC1INH) franchise. C1INH is a naturally occurring protein that down regulates the complement and contact cascades in order to control inflammation in affected tissues.
Our lead product, RUCONEST®, is the first and only plasma-free rhC1INH protein replacement therapy. It is approved for the treatment of acute hereditary angioedema (HAE) attacks. We are commercializing RUCONEST® in the United States, the European Union and the United Kingdom through our own sales and marketing organization, and the rest of the world through our distribution network.
In addition, we are investigating the clinical efficacy of rhC1INH in the treatment of further indications, including pre-eclampsia, acute kidney injury and severe pneumonia as a result of COVID-19 infections.
We are also studying our oral precision medicine, leniolisib (a phosphoinositide 3-kinase delta, or PI3K delta, inhibitor), for the treatment of activated PI3K delta syndrome, or APDS. World-wide rights for leniolisib were licensed from Novartis AG in 2019. Leniolisib met both of its primary end points in a registration enabling Phase 2/3 study in the United States and Europe. We are targeting global regulatory filings for leniolisib from Q2 2022 onwards.
Additionally, we entered into a strategic collaboration with Orchard Therapeutics to research, develop, manufacture and commercialize OTL-105, a newly disclosed investigational ex-vivo autologous hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) gene therapy for the treatment of HAE.
Furthermore, we are leveraging our transgenic manufacturing technology to develop next-generation protein replacement therapies, most notably for Pompe disease, which is currently in preclinical development.

Under the Miami sun, Astra Sharma celebrated earning a master’s degree -- the first for the partnership between the WTA and University of Florida.
The College of Health & Human Performance (UFHHP) and College of Journalism and Communications (UFCJC) joined a partnership with the WTA and the Women’s Tennis Benefit Association (WTBA) in 2019. Its goal: provide WTA players a chance to pursue a graduate or master’s level education while playing their sport across the world. Under the partnership, the WTBA subsidizes in-state tuition fees for WTA members who enroll in online master’s degrees.
Sharma, the current No. 96-ranked singles player, earned a Master of Science in Applied Physiology and Kinesiology with a concentration in human performance this fall.
"Thanks to the WTA and University of Florida for providing this opportunity to earn my master's degree,” Sharma said. “While professional tennis is demanding, it remains important for me to continue to better myself in all areas of my life. I am profoundly grateful to UF for this journey of learning and growth.”
Sharma is the first of many professional tennis players and members expected to accomplish both an education and a career in this partnership.
“We hope to see more players and members benefit from this educational partnership with our online graduate programs, as we also benefit from the experience and perspective these players and members bring to our programs,” said Christopher Janelle, Ph.D., associate dean for academic and student affairs.
“The University of Florida’s College of Health and Human Performance has been a key partner in educating WTA players since 2019 through their degree and certificate programs,” said Lisa Grattan, executive director of the Women’s Tennis Benefit Association. “We are proud to congratulate Astra for becoming the first WTA player to earn her master’s degree through this important partnership.”
Through the partnership, WTA players and members can enroll in any of the eight online master’s programs and four graduate certificate programs offered by UFCJC and four online master’s programs offered by UFHHP.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki is set to leave her gig later this spring to join MSNBC, according to a new report.
Psaki is in exclusive talks with the cable network and has been in close consultation with the White House counsel’s office about her pending departure, Axios reported Friday, citing sources familiar with the plans.
While no deal has been finalized, Psaki has reportedly informed two senior officials at the White House of her departure and her future plans, two sources told the outlet. The White House press team has not yet been formally notified that Psaki will be leaving.
The tentative deal would place Psaki as the host of a show on NBCUniversal’s streaming platform Peacock. She would also be a part of MSNBC’s live cable programming on various shows, according to Axios.
Psaki has long been expected to depart the White House for a TV gig, and reports emerged in February that her services were sought by both CNN — where she worked as a commentator during the Trump administration — and MSNBC.
At the time, Psaki laughed off a question seeking to confirm the report, saying she would still be working at the White House for the time being.
“I have more than enough on my plate here. And so you can’t get rid of me quite yet,” Psaki told reporters.
In May 2021, the press secretary indicated that she planned to depart from the administration sometime this year.
“I think it’s going to be time for somebody else to have this job in a year from now or about a year from now,” she said at the time on a podcast with CNN analyst David Axelrod.
Psaki has not briefed the press since March 21. The following day, she announced she had tested positive for COVID-19, forcing her to miss President Biden’s trip to Belgium and Poland. Her deputy, Karine Jean-Pierre, went in her stead and tested positive upon her return to the US last weekend.
Psaki’s departure would follow several exits from Vice President Kamala Harris’ office, including that of former spokesperson Symone Sanders, who also signed an exclusive deal with MSNBC in January to host a show on Peacock.
It is not uncommon for former administration officials — such as press secretaries — to join networks as commentators or hosts.
Former Trump press secretary Kayleigh McEnany works as a commentator for Fox News, while another former Trump press secretary, Sean Spicer, hosts his own show on Newsmax TV.

He’s a gone-fella.
An infamous mob assassin from upstate New York who murdered three rivals in the ’80s has escaped from federal custody in Florida, according to the Democrat and Chronicle.
Dominic Taddeo, 64, who also attempted to whack former Rochester Mafia captain Thomas Marotta on two occasions, was recently serving time at a medium-security federal facility in Coleman, Florida.
Taddeo had since been transferred to a halfway house to prepare for his scheduled release in a year.
The Cosa Nostra killer went out for an approved medical appointment on March 28 and never returned, according to the Bureau of Prisons.
Taddeo had a previous bid for “compassionate” release on COVID-19 grounds denied in 2020.
Judge Frank Geraci Jr. cited the gravity of Taddeo’s crimes in rejecting the request and federal prosecutors argued that he wasn’t at heightened health risk due to the pandemic.
Taddeo is no stranger to life on the lam.
Up against federal firearms raps, Taddeo was sprung on bail in 1987 and eluded capture for two years while operating under a series of aliases in several states.
He was finally cuffed after an informant told authorities that he was planning to meet his brother in Toledo.
Taddeo pleaded guilty to RICO charges in 1992.
The raps included the murders of three Rochester mafiosi in 1982 and 1983.

DETROIT (AP) — Ford is issuing two recalls covering over 737,000 vehicles to fix oil leaks and trailer braking systems that won’t work.
The oil leak recall includes the 2020 through 2022 Ford Escape SUV and the 2021 and 2022 Bronco Sport SUV with 1.5-Liter engines.
A housing can crack and oil can leak onto engine parts, possibly causing fires.
The trailer brake recall includes F-150 pickups from 2021 and 2022, as well as the 2022 F-250, 350, 450 and 550.
Also covered are the 2022 Maverick pickup, and Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs. A software error can stop trailers from braking.

Patrick Mahomes had other things on his mind in March besides Tom Brady’s retirement plans.
In a new interview with Yahoo Finance, the Chiefs quarterback, 26, shared how his focus in recent weeks has been on his wedding to longtime love Brittany Matthews, rather than Tom Brady who ended his retirement nearly three weeks ago after just 40 days.
“I don’t think it even really [sunk] in that he retired before he was coming back,” Mahomes said. “I kind of was having the wedding going on and all that different type of stuff. So before I even realized he retired, he was back, and I think that’s how Tom [has] always been. Until I see that there’s an NFL game played and he is not in the league, I don’t think I’ll ever really, truly believe that he’s retired.”
Brady, 44, first announced in February that he was stepping away from football after 22 seasons. Weeks later, the seven-time Super Bowl champ changed course, revealing he’d be returning to the Buccaneers for the 2022 season.
Around the time that Brady ended his short retirement, Mahomes said “I do” to Matthews, 26, in a lavish ceremony in Hawaii. The couple — who has been together since high school — just got back from their honeymoon in St. Barts.
Mahomes, who lost to Brady in Super Bowl 2021, said he hopes to follow a career path similar to the Buccaneers’ quarterback, who turns 45 in August.
“I want to play as long as they’ll let me. And I know that will take me taking care of my body, me continuing to build my family the right way, and making sure those relationships are always great and before football. And I think Tom’s done that in the right way.
“I mean, you can see how close he is with his family, but as well, how much he gives to football every single day. And so I want to — I mean, it’s a great model. If you want to play for a long time and have a lot of success, you got to do a lot of the same things that he’s done. Taking care of his body on and off the field,” Mahomes said.
While Brady gears up for Year 23 — which will be with new Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles — Mahomes is enjoying wedded bliss with Matthews and their 1-year-old daughter, Sterling Skye.
On Thursday, Matthews commemorated the couple’s 10-year anniversary by sharing new photos from their big day.
“10 Years with my Boo! Time to start over and start Celebrating our Marriage, oh & also our Rock Paper Scissors record,” Matthews quipped on Instagram. “Love you the most.”

Russia once again avoided a default on its foreign debt as the Kremlin transferred a $447 million bond payment.
The payment was processed by JPMorgan, which is Russia’s foreign correspondent bank. It was then transferred to the admin agent, which in this instance is BNY Mellon, sources familiar with the matter told The Post.
JPMorgan got the go-ahead from the Biden administration, which imposed sanctions on the Russian economy following President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, before processing the payment, Markets Insider reported.
JPMorgan and BNY Mellon both declined to comment when reached by The Post.
Holders of Russian bonds will receive $87.5 million in coupons as well as $359 million in principal payments.
Since Russia was hit with sanctions, bond payments are taking longer to be processed through the system.
This is the second time in as many months that Russia avoided defaulting on its debt.
Investors breathed a sigh of relief last month after the Russian government made a $117 million interest payment on its foreign debt.
But a much bigger payment comes due April 4 — to the tune of $2.2 billion — and creditors are far less optimistic Russia will pony up this time.
“The last payment was a small investment in credibility, but when Russia has to start writing billion-dollar checks, it’s a different calculation,” Jay Newman, former Elliott Management portfolio manager and author of “Undermoney,” told The Post.
“I don’t think it’s realistic that Russia comes up with the $2.2 billion.”
But Putin’s top spokesperson dismissed talk of a Russian default, saying his government has the necessary funds to meet its obligations to creditors.
“The fact is that from the very beginning we have said that Russia has all the necessary funds and potential to prevent a default — there can be no defaults,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Reuters on March 17.
“Any default that could arise would have an entirely artificial character.”
Newman is not alone in his belief that Russia may fail to make the multibillion-dollar payment in April.
“I expect a full default of Russian debt,” Robert Kahn of political risk consulting firm Eurasia Group told The Post. “It’s a political — not just economic — issue. Why do they want to pay us back when we’re extraditing them from the economic system?”
While Russia owes US banks almost $15 billion, economists don’t expect a default on debt would significantly tank global markets over the long term. According to the International Monetary Fund, Russia’s relative isolation from the rest of the world makes it “not systemically relevant.”

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) — A New York mobster who killed three people and attempted to kill two others has escaped from federal custody.
The Bureau of Prisons website says Dominic Taddeo escaped on March 28.
The 64-year-old had been imprisoned at a medium-security lockup in Florida before being transferred to a residential halfway house in February.
Taddeo pleaded guilty in 1992 to racketeering charges that included the killings of three men during mob wars in the 1980s. He was reportedly serving a 54-year sentence.
A federal judge in western New York denied Taddeo’s request for compassionate release last year.
A Bureau of Prisons spokesperson did not immediately return a call seeking information about Taddeo’s escape.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — If television could transmit smells, the lab Hope Hersh works in would make you think you’re in a bakery.
“As a lab, we are obsessed with starch,” she said.
The food lab sits within the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences at the University of Florida. Hersh, a fourth-year Ph.D. candidate, is making full use of it.
“During the pandemic, there was this whole ‘make bread at home’ fad that was going on,” she said.
That got her thinking about combining her love of bread and her love of something else: space.
“I've always been interested in NASA and everything space-related,” Hersh said.
So, when NASA announced a competition – called the Deep Space Food Challenge – she got to work.
“They're looking for innovative new food technologies to be taken into deep space for long missions to the moon or Mars,” Hersh said.
Her idea: ‘wouldn’t it be nice to be able to have freshly baked bread in space?’ It’s not as easy as it sounds. Space is limited in… well, space. So, they needed something that could easily be grown and used to make bread.
Enter algae.
“Then I started putting algae in the bread just and testing it myself as a test to see, you know, ‘Is this palatable? Could people actually eat this in space?’ and that's how I came up with the algae bread,” Hersh said.
Nearly two years later, her special algae bread recipe baked in these special pouches is now one of the 18 food finalists NASA chose in the competition.
It all comes as NASA prepares for a “dress rehearsal” to test the largest rocket ever built. The Space Launch System – or SLS, for short – is designed to carry astronauts back to the moon and even to other planets, like Mars.
“To know that an idea that I came up with could be in space one day -- so gratifying,” Hersh said.
It is an idea that could also be used right here on Earth, a requirement that NASA set out in the competition.
“We mentioned using this as a replacement for like military meals that they have on long missions,” Hersh said, “but also in disaster relief situations because this is pre-made, it's sterilized. It can be stored for however long in any condition.”
Those include conditions that might one day be encountered by humans, who eventually venture to far-off worlds.
“For me, I just close my eyes and takes me back to when I was a kid and when I used to make bread at home,” Hersh said. “So, I hope that it gives them a little piece of earth to take with them on these long missions.”
It’s a taste of home that might one day be out of this world.

We've heard it before: whether it's love or the gig of our dreams, the thing we're searching for often finds us when we stop looking. "Such A Thing," a song from Alex Isley and Jack Dine, features a dreamy soundscape created to surrender to that divine timing. Rich, lush background vocals, glistening piano and simple drums provide the perfect canvas for Isley's colorful melodies as she sings, "Just one year ago / You couldn't have told me / that this was a part of my plans." Sometimes, we are all in such a rush to get where we think we should be that we don't consider that we're exactly where we're supposed to be.

A 12-year-old boy eating in a parked car in New York City was shot dead, and a relative seated with him was seriously injured, as people from two other vehicles exchanged gunfire Thursday night, police said Friday.
It appears the boy and his relative, a 20-year-old woman, were mistakenly caught in the gunfire exchange in Brooklyn and were not targets, a New York Police Department spokesperson said Friday.
An 8-year-old girl in the car with the boy and woman was not injured, police said. No arrests have been made, and police are trying to find the people involved in the shootout.
It was one of the latest examples of gun violence in New York City, where statistics show crime is up in every major category, which includes murder, rape, robbery and others.
"We are actually pleading for the public's help and assistance in helping us solve this case," Michael Kemper, assistant chief of NYPD Brooklyn South, said at a news conference Thursday night.
The driver, a Brooklyn woman, had pulled over so she and the children could eat, and shots were fired around 7:45 p.m., police said at Thursday's news conference.
The gunfire came from people in two dark colored sedans, police said in a Friday news release. "A preliminary investigation determined that the victims were eating in the vehicle" when the shooting happened, the news release reads.
The boy, in the front passenger seat, was shot more than once, including once in the head, police said Friday.
The woman in the driver's seat also was shot multiple times. She was taken to a hospital, was in surgery Thursday night and is expected to survive, according to police. She was in critical condition, police said Friday.
The uninjured girl was in a back seat, police said. The names of the three were not released.
Joe Gulotta, deputy chief of NYPD Brooklyn South, asked the public in a news conference Thursday night to call in tips about two sedans that left the shooting scene.
New York Mayor Eric Adams said guns on New York City streets is a problem that needed fixing.
"It's time for it to stop," Adams said at the news conference. "That's why we're here. We're going to do our job. We need everyone to help us, ending this senseless violence."
A controversial unit within the NYPD that was revived to battle rising gun violence hit the streets last month, promising significant training, and even new uniforms, to prevent aggressive and abusive policing tactics that had plagued its predecessor.
The so-called Neighborhood Safety Teams, the latest version of plainclothes units designed to go after firearms, was to be deployed to roughly 25 neighborhoods officials say represent 80% of the gun violence in the city. When the unit is fully built, the specialized officers will be in 30 neighborhoods and several public housing projects, city officials said. The unit replaces the anti-crime team disbanded in 2020.

NEW YORK (AP) — Marjorie Miller, vice president and global enterprise editor at The Associated Press, has been named as the new administrator of the Pulitzer Prizes.
Miller spent 27 years at the Los Angeles Times as a correspondent in Latin America, Europe and the Middle East. She was the newspaper’s foreign editor when it won a Pulitzer Prize for Russia coverage and was a finalist for Iraq War coverage.
She joined AP in 2010 as the regional editor for Latin America, where her team produced award-winning coverage of cartel violence. In 2015, she moved to New York to help lead daily news coverage and enterprise. Two years later she became the founding leader of AP’s Global Enterprise Team, overseeing reporting projects in all formats, including work from Yemen that won the 2019 Pulitzer for International Reporting.
Her appointment was announced Thursday by the Pulitzer Prize Board and by Lee C. Bollinger, president of Columbia University, which hosts the prestigious journalism awards.
“I cannot think of a better steward for the Pulitzer Prizes, which celebrate excellence in journalism, arts, and letters and recognize the powerful, public service role they play in promoting tolerance, advancing the search for truth, and protecting the free exchange of information and ideas,” Bollinger said.
Miller succeeds acting administrator Edward Kliment, who will stay on as Miller’s deputy. She begins her new role on April 11.

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP)The pain was sharp and familiar. It reminded David Price of where he has been. It also told him he still might be able to be the pitcher the Los Angeles Dodgers thought they had nearly 26 months ago.
Price’s quiet spring began the way others have in the five-time All-Star’s 13-year career: His left elbow hurt after his first live batting practice a couple of weeks ago, and he knew the resumption of an old routine was underway.
”Always the elbow,” Price said. ”It happens every year, all the way back to 2010. Now, everything feels good – arm, elbow and shoulder.”
It was good enough to impress Dodgers manager Dave Roberts and anybody else who watched Price make his first spring appearance against Cleveland on Wednesday night. The left-hander worked only an inning, but he had two strikeouts and was clocked at 93 mph.
In an abbreviated camp, it wasn’t enough to determine his role. It did remind the Dodgers that Price is still in the mix.
From starter to bullpen, Price’s role with the Dodgers has been uncertain since they acquired the 2012 American League Cy Young Award winner from the Boston Red Sox in a three-team deal that included right-fielder Mookie Betts in February 2020.
Price didn’t pitch at all that year, opting out because of concerns about COVID-19. In 2021, he bounced between the starting rotation and the bullpen with 11 starts and 28 appearances as a reliever. His overall ERA was 4.03.
He arrived at camp in mid-March ready to do anything. Then Roberts mentioned him as a possible starter.
”I’m preparing that way, yeah,” said Price, who is in the final year of a seven-year, $217 million contract. ”I think it’d be silly of me to prepare to be a reliever if I’m asked to start. So, I’m preparing to be a starter until otherwise.”
Otherwise looks to be the case. Roberts projects his starting rotation will be Walker Buehler, Julio Urias, Clayton Kershaw, Andrew Heaney and Tony Gonsolin. He cautioned that nothing is set in stone, mostly because pitchers were limited in a camp cut short by major league baseball’s lockout.
The Dodgers signed career starter Tyler Anderson in mid-March, just in case. As for Price, Roberts said: ”I just think that David, right now, is not an option in the sense of, he’s not built up. It just doesn’t seem feasible right now.”
The 36-year-old left-hander could still have an immediate role, like one inning in relief early in the season, Roberts said, and moving up to multiple innings as he gets stronger.
”I’m confident in David in any role,” Roberts said. ”I like his versatility. The role doesn’t matter. It’s just knowing that he’s going to pitch valuable innings in whatever role.”
NOTES
Cody Bellinger took batting practice Thursday on the minor-league side of the Dodgers’ camp. The 2019 National League MVP is 4 for 27 with 17 strikeouts this spring.
”I wouldn’t say I’m alarmed,” Roberts said. ”I think `progressing’ is the word. We’ve got to continue to log at-bats to make him feel as comfortable as possible when the season starts.”

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — When Texas Gov. Greg Abbott put in motion abuse investigations into the parents of some transgender kids, child welfare supervisor Randa Mulanax said what happened next strayed from normal protocols.
There was unusual secrecy, with texts and emails discouraged. Allegations about trans kids received elevated status. In Texas, fewer than three in 10 child welfare investigations end with findings that harm likely occurred — classified as “reason to believe” — but the changes looked to Mulanax like these cases would be predetermined from the start.
“It was my understanding that they wanted to be found ‘reason to believe,’” Mulanax told The Associated Press in her first interview since leaving the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, where she worked for six years until quitting last month. “That’s why we were having to figure out a way to staff it up and see how we go about it, since it doesn’t match our policy right now.”
As early as Friday, the Texas Supreme Court could decide whether the state can resume at least nine investigations into the parents of transgender children. They are the first to fall on the radar of child welfare authorities since Texas’ Republican governor in February directed the state to begin handling reports of gender-confirming care for kids as child abuse — the first such order issued in the U.S.
The court fight in Texas comes as Republicans across the country are leaning into policies aimed at transgender Americans, most prominently through bans on transgender athletes on girls sports teams. But Texas is the only state where a GOP governor has greenlighted abuse cases against the parents of transgender children, which several current and departing Texas child welfare workers say was rushed into action and has sunk already low morale at their troubled state agency even deeper.
It is unclear how many Texas child welfare investigators — who are tasked with carrying out Abbott’s directive — have quit in protest. Mulanax is one of at least two state Child Protective Services workers who are leaving and added their names this week to a court brief that urged Texas’ justices to keep the investigations sidelined. Five other investigators who remain at the agency also signed on.
Abbott’s instructions to Texas child welfare officials takes aim at treatments for children that include puberty blockers and hormone therapy.
Patrick Crimmins, spokesman for the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, declined comment Thursday, citing the ongoing lawsuit.
“We’re being so closely monitored on those type of cases that you wouldn’t be able to just say, ‘Oh, nothing to see,’” said Shelby McCowen, a child welfare investigator who called the directive the ‘last straw’ and is quitting after less than a year at the agency.
Texas completed more than 157,000 child welfare investigations in the last fiscal year, according to state data. McCowen said the cases involving parents of transgender families were drawing the same attention as child death investigations, and like Mulanax, said instructions were given not to discuss the cases through state emails or phones — only on personal devices, or face-to-face.
The cases were to be referred to as “special assignments” rather than using a case name or number, according to McCowen. She said upper managers told investigators a survey would be sent out internally to address questions about the directive, but none ever arrived.
“I don’t know how many times they go into the cases, but we’re told that if we get one of these cases, the documentation has to be almost instant because it’s being monitored,” she said.
Abbott’s directive goes against the nation’s largest medical groups, including the American Medical Association, which have opposed Republican-backed restrictions filed in statehouses nationwide. On Thursday, President Joe Biden marked Transgender Day of Visibility by denouncing such legislation, saying “the onslaught of anti-transgender state laws attacking you and your families is simply wrong.”
In pressing that the investigations in Texas be allowed to continue, Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office wrote that “if DFPS cannot investigate possible child abuse, children may be harmed — perhaps irreversibly — in the interim.”
Mulanax said if the investigations were to resume, she considers it unlikely that any children would be removed from their homes around Texas’ biggest cities, which are controlled by Democrats and where some county officials have already said they would reject such cases.
But in the event of a finding of harm, Mulanax said, putting in place what are usually other safety plans don’t make sense to her either. She said those options typically include required parental supervision or services such as therapy, which Mulanax said some of the families might already be doing.
“It was just a complete betrayal of the department,” she said.

Gov. Ron DeSantis expressed his support Thursday for ending Disney’s “special privileges” in Florida, saying the entertainment giant’s political sway is waning.
DeSantis has been battling the Walt Disney Co. over its opposition to HB 1557, officially titled Parental Rights in Education but known by many as the “don’t say gay” bill.
“As a matter of first principle, I don’t support special privileges in law, just because a company is powerful, and they’ve been able to wield a lot of power,” he said at an event in West Palm Beach.
His comments came after state Rep. Spencer Roach, R-North Fort Myers, tweeted that lawmakers have met twice to discuss repealing a 1967 state law that allowed Walt Disney World to establish its own independent government through the Reedy Creek Improvement District.
Roach did not respond to messages seeking more details. Disney also has not responded to requests for comment.
DeSantis didn’t list specific policy proposals, but he mentioned a last-minute exemption the company got in legislation last year as an example of special treatment. Lawmakers excluded companies that operate theme parks from a bill that sought to stop social media outlets from de-platforming political candidates.
State Rep. Blaise Ingoglia, R-Spring Hill, said at the time the exemption was aimed at making sure the Disney Plus streaming service “isn’t caught up in this.”
DeSantis said Thursday that carve-out for Disney was “ridiculous” and “embarrassing,” but public records showed his legislative affairs director served as a liaison between Disney and lawmakers to craft its language. Those records were revealed in a report in the Seeking Rents newsletter.
DeSantis said he signed the bill because he didn’t want to “throw the baby out with the bathwater” and wants the carve-out repealed.
A DeSantis spokeswoman did not respond to an email asking about the governor office’s involvement in the Disney carve-out and whether DeSantis would support repealing the Reedy Creek Improvement District.
DeSantis’ Big Tech law is being challenged in the courts.
Disney has carried immense influence with lawmakers for decades and is a major donor to Florida Republicans, who control state government.
In 1967, state lawmakers granted Disney unprecedented control over its theme park property, forming the Reedy Creek Improvement District.
Through that government structure, Disney gained the ability to issue tax-free bonds for improvements, regulate land use and environmental protections, and provide fire, police and other essential public services.
Disney has scored other economic wins from the Republican-controlled Legislature over the years, including a $570 million tax break for its new regional hub in Orlando’s Lake Nona community that is expected to generate more than 2,000 jobs for the region.
Republicans and Disney are at odds over DeSantis’ agenda on social issues. Disney issued a statement that HB 1557 “should never have passed and should have never been signed into law” and vowed to work to get it repealed or overturned in the courts.
HB 1557 bars classroom instruction on “sexual orientation or gender identity” or in a manner that is not “age appropriate.” Critics say the legislation is vague and targets the LGBTQ community.
DeSantis said lessening Disney’s influence in Florida politics would be “good” for the state.
“I just don’t think you have very many people in the Legislature anymore who are going to be able to defend a lot of what has been done over many, many years to really have them almost govern themselves in some of these things,” DeSantis said. “You know, that was probably never appropriate to start, but it’s certainly not appropriate now.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal government sets 40 mpg as new mileage standard for vehicles sold in US beginning in 2026, up from about 24 mpg.
New vehicles sold in the United States will have to travel an average of at least 40 miles per gallon of gasoline in 2026 under new rules unveiled Friday by the government.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said its fuel economy requirements will undo a rollback of standards enacted under President Donald Trump. The new requirements increase gas mileage by 8% per year for model years 2024 and 2025 and 10% in the 2026 model year.
For the current model year, standards enacted under Trump require the fleet of new vehicles to get just over 24 miles per gallon in real-world driving.
Agency officials say the requirements are the maximum that the industry can achieve over the time period and will reduce gasoline consumption by more than 220 billion gallons over the life of vehicles, compared with the Trump standards.
Trump’s administration rolled back fuel economy requirements so they rose 1.5% per year, which environmental groups said was inadequate to limit planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions that fuel climate change.
But the new standards won’t immediately match those adopted through 2025 under President Barack Obama. NHTSA officials said they will equal the Obama standards by 2025 and slightly exceed them for the 2026 model year.
The Obama-era standards automatically adjusted for changes in the type of vehicles people are buying. When they were enacted in 2012, 51% of new vehicle sales were cars and 49% SUVs and trucks. Last year, 77% of new vehicle sales were SUVs and trucks, which generally are less efficient than cars.
Some environmental groups said the new requirements from NHTSA under President Joe Biden don’t go far enough to fight global warming.
“Climate change has gotten much worse, but these rules only require automakers to reduce gas-guzzling slightly more than they agreed to cut nine years ago,” said Dan Becker, director of the Safe Climate Transport Center at the Center for Biological Diversity.
He said the final rule is about 2 mpg short of the strongest alternative that NHTSA considered.
Officials said that under the new standards, owners would save about $1,400 in gasoline costs during the lifetime of a 2029 model year vehicle. Carbon dioxide emissions would drop by 2.5 billion metric tons by 2050 under the standards, the NHTSA said.
The agency did not give figures for how much the standards would increase the cost of vehicles. Auto dealers say more stringent requirements drive up prices and push people out of an already expensive new-car market.
The NHTSA sets fuel economy requirements, while the Environmental Protection Agency develops limits on greenhouse gas emissions. NHTSA officials said their requirements nearly match rules adopted in December by the EPA, so automakers don’t have to comply with two rules.
