Three football and netball clubs from across the Wimmera have been named in the latest round of the Country Football Netball Program.
The Nhill and District Sporting Club, Kaniva Leeor United and Tatyoon are three of the 12 clubs to benefit from funding, with more than $2.5 million to be invested in 2024.
Hindmarsh Shire Council received notification on Monday, February 26, that the application for the construction of AFL-compliant changerooms and under-cover tiered spectator seating had been approved.
President of the Nhill Tigers Football and Netball Club, Mr Rob Bell, thanked the people behind the scenes for getting to the stage where the grandstand will be rebuilt.
"It means a lot to the club; since the grandstand was pulled down, there has been a lot of lobbying to rebuild," Mr Bell said.
"There's been a lot of people who put in a lot of hard work. They've applied for grants over the years, and we haven't been successful.
"To finally get through to the stage where we can see a build happening, that'd be great for the club."
The council will receive $250,000 through the Victorian Government's 2023-2024 Country Football Netball Program.
In addition to the funding announced by the Victorian Government, the council has also allocated $760,000 through the Federal Government's Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program phase 4.
HSC will contribute an additional $440,000, and the Nhill and District Sporting Club will contribute another $50,000 for the $1.5 million project.
The tender process will commence in April this year, with an estimated completion time of 12-18 months.
Hindmarsh Shire Council mayor Brett Ireland was pleased with the outcome for both the sporting club and the wider community.
"The facility is an important part of our shire and contributes to a healthy, active, and inclusive community. Congratulations to all involved in writing and implementing this grant," Cr Ireland said.
Head of AFL Victoria Greg Madigan was thankful for the ongoing support of the Victorian government for the continued investment in local clubs across the state.
"The funding support provided via the Country Football and Netball Program continues to have a major impact on local football clubs and communities across Victoria, which benefit greatly from the development of new and upgraded facilities," Mr Madigan said.
The Country Football Netball Program started in 2005 and was developed in partnership with the Victorian State Government, AFL, AFL Victoria, and Netball Victoria.
More than $40.2 million has been invested in greater than 575 country football and netball infrastructure projects over the past decade. | <urn:uuid:4ac146a9-aaf0-41da-a070-fb548cac263b> | {

OWA CITY, Iowa — Iowa women's basketball star Caitlin Clark has announced that this season with the team will be her last as she plans to enter the WNBA Draft.
Clark has scored the most points by any major college woman's player ever on Wednesday, according to KCRG. She scored 33 points which helped her to pass Lynette Woodward, The Associated Press reported.
Clark had already broken the NCAA women's basketball career scoring record on Feb. 15 against Michigan when she poured in a school-record 49 points. That effort moved Clark, a senior, past University of Washington star Kelsey Plum's total of 3,527 points.
Clark is expected to be the number one pick for the WNBA by Indiana Fever, according to ESPN. On Wednesday, she broke a major women's college basketball scoring record by making 33 points.
Clark now has 2,650 points, ESPN reported.

Braunwyn Windham-Burke's kids slam the RHOC star as an 'abuser, liar and manipulator' - after she called her ex-husband Sean Burke a 'narcissist'
Two of the former couple's seven children — daughter Rowan, 21, and son Jacob, 18 — took online and said the reality star, 46, was the 'narcissist' as well as an 'abuser, liar and manipulator.'
Their daughter took to Instagram first in defense of her father, as she re-shared Braunwyn's original post, where she called Sean a 'covert narcissist.'
'So my mother and grandmother whom I had to block both and speak to neither have decided to spread lies about my dad on social media. And I'm done. I'm done.'
'My dad is the kindest most amazing person and the reason I'm still here.'
Braunwyn Windham-Burke's, 46, children have slammed the Real Housewives of Orange County star after she called their dad, her ex-husband, Sean Burke, a 'narcissist'; seen in 2022
Two of the former couple's seven children took online and said the reality star was the 'narcissist' as well as an 'abuser, liar and manipulator'; Braunwyn, Sean and their kids seen in an Instagram snap
Rowan then stated her father was her 'best friend' and her 'rock,' and claimed that Braunwyn and her mom, Deborah Windham, are the 'narcissists.'
'She is the narcissist. My grandma and mother. End. Of. Story. I'm done with the lies and I'm done with them trying to blast his name.'
'Maybe for ONCE in my life someone will listen to me. Don't believe these lies. I obviously know what's true. And it's not what she wrote in that caption,' she went on.
After her Instagram story expired, Rowan posted a screenshot of it to her feed, because 'It needs to be said and it needs to be seen.'
'I won't let my words get buried, not this time,' she added.
Rowan then shared a screenshot that showed that her post had been reported because it 'may be hurtful to other people.'
'Looks like my mother and grandma are trying to get my post taken down. It's staying up. And I won't ever stop standing up for myself, the TRUTH, and what's right,' she wrote.
Later her brother Jacob –– who goes by 'he/him/she/her' pronouns –– took to his own Instagram Stories with a similar message.
Their daughter Rowan, 21 (pictured) took to Instagram first in defense of her father, as she re-shared Braunwyn's original post, where she called Sean a 'covert narcissist'
'My dad is the kindest most amazing person and the reason I'm still here,' she wrote, adding that Braunwyn was 'the narcissist'
Rowan then shared a screenshot that showed that her post had been reported because it 'may be hurtful to other people', and accused her mom and grandma of trying to have it taken down
Later her brother Jacob, 18 (pictured) took to his own Instagram Stories with a similar message
'My mother is an abuser, liar, and manipulator. I believe in 2nd chances, but not 20th chances,' he wrote on Wednesday
Jacob then shared a second Instagram Story, asking his mother not to sue him
'Hi! It's Jacob, braunwyns [sic] son, I'm the one who did drag on the show. My mother is an abuser, liar, and manipulator. I believe in 2nd chances, but not 20th chances,' he wrote on Wednesday.
Jacob went on to say that he was 'quite scared' to share the message because his mother 'will not be happy.'
'She has been harassing my dad for many years now, and last time she called me she yelled at me for talking to my dad's gf, so idk.'
'Bye, gunna log off insta for another 3 years,' he added.
Jacob then shared a second Instagram Story, asking his mother not to sue him.
'This is just my opinion by the way, so don't sue me.'
'I'm taking this online, since she did, there's a mot more private, and hopefully we keep it private since nobody besides the family need to be involved. I think it is very inappropriate for anything to be posted, for both me and her.'
Meanwhile Braunwyn said she is 'sad' about the status of her family in a statement to Page Six.
Rowan and Jacob's statements came days after Braunwyn shared a long post about her marriage to Sean, saying she wants to help people understand 'what being with a covert narcissist means'
Her fiancée, Jennifer Spinner, showed her support by writing on her Instagram Story, 'I love you. Lead with love and truth, the rest is just noise'. The pair got engaged in July 2022; they are seen in 2023
Braunwyn filed for divorce from Burke in October of 2022, following a 23-year marriage, and two years after coming out as a lesbian in 2020
'I expected there to be retaliation after speaking my truth online. Narcissistic triangulation is a very real and classic thing, and I am sad this is happening to my family. I love all of my children dearly, and I hope healing can take place on all sides,' she said.
Rowan and Jacob's statements came days after Braunwyn shared a long post about her marriage to Sean while promoting a new article about her in Us Weekly.
'This article comes at the end of the hardest 3 years of my life, I've kept quiet about so much, but after a late night phone call from my exes girlfriend, where I realized he was continuing the cycle of abuse and manipulation, I knew I couldn't keep talking around it, to do so would be to allow the cycle of abuse to continue.'
'I married young, back then I didn't understand what being married to a narcissist meant, I didn't have the words to articulate the financial and emotional abuse I suffered, I was put down, called names, and told that my memories weren't right and would get told lies that made no sense, but wouldn't question.'
'I was made to feel crazy. It's taken some intense therapy to understand what this had done to me, and while every part of me wants to keep it to myself, if I can help one person feel less alone, if I can help one person be seen, if I can help people understand what being with a covert narcissist means, then it's worth it.'
'We break the cycle of abuse by sharing our stories….so here's mine. I covered for someone, I was lied to for decades, I was made to feel insane…I was left penniless and thought I would never recover…but I have, and I haven't drank.
'I see you. I believe you. We aren't alone,' she added.
Her fiancée, Jennifer Spinner showed her support by writing on her Instagram Story, '@braunwynwindhamburke I love you. Lead with love and truth, the rest is just noise.'
Braunwyn and Sean share seven children together. In addition to Rowan and Jacob, they also share: Bella, 23, twins Caden and Curren, 9, Koa, 8, and Hazel, 5
Braunwyn and Sean finalized their divorce in November 2023 after 23 years of marriage together.
The pair separated in 2021 after she came out as gay the year prior.
Braunwyn went on to get engaged to Spinner in July 2022.
She and Sean share seven children together. In addition to Rowan and Jacob, they also share: Bella, 23, twins Caden and Curren, 9, Koa, 8, and Hazel, 5. | <urn:uuid:33162045-47b9-49c9-8281-391fb8e7d789> | {

The Lion Country Safari drive-through safari park in the South Florida city of Loxahatchee welcomed a new and rare endangered ape, park officials announced on Thursday. The new white-handed gibbon was born on Feb. 17.
It is the first ape to be born at the park in nearly 28 years. Park officials said the ape will cling to its mother until it matures and begins to explore on its own. The baby's parents, 23-year-old Tamatha and 36-year-old Larry, are visible to visitors on their habitat islands in the last section of the park's tour, officials said.
White-handed gibbons are a lesser ape species native to the rain forests of Asia.

They are generally monogamous and produce one offspring after a gestation period of approximately seven months. The average life expectancy for a white-handed gibbon is 25-30 years in the wild and approximately 44 years under human care, park officials said.
The apes are on the endangered species list, and populations are decreasing in the wild due to habitat loss and illegal wildlife trafficking, officials said.

The Oregon House on Thursday passed a proposal to reshape the state's response to the fentanyl addiction and overdose crisis and put more power in the hands of police and prosecutors to rein in drug users.
The bipartisan vote of 51-7 kicks House Bill 4002 to the Senate, the last step in a long legislative process that started last fall. The bill would unwind voter-passed Measure 110 by putting in place a new misdemeanor charge for drug possession, a move intended to encourage people to enter treatment programs rather than face charges and go to jail. Potential jail time for misdemeanor drug possession would only kick in if a defendant violates their probation.
The bill represents a bipartisan compromise between Democrats and Republicans that was hashed out over hours-long meetings dating to September, with dozens of witnesses from advocacy groups, law enforcement, family members of overdose victims and behavioral health providers giving testimony. Oregon's district attorneys, police and sheriffs support it, as do cities and business groups like the Portland Metro Chamber of Commerce and Washington County Chamber of Commerce.
"We are in the midst of a profound public health crisis and we must meet it with compassion and courage," said Rep. Maxine Dexter, D-Portland. "These are humans."
The bill would undo a key provision of the voter-passed Measure 110, which decriminalized possession of small amounts of hard drugs and enacted a system of $100 citations that a person could avoid if they obtained a health assessment. Police have said the citation system lacked the teeth necessary to encourage people to enter treatment, and a majority of Oregonians in surveys have voiced support for repealing Measure 110 or parts of it.
The bill would create an unclassified misdemeanor that would carry potential jail time of up to 30 days only for probation violations or up to 180 days when a defendant's probation is revoked. But they would get an early release from jail if they entered inpatient or outpatient treatment.
The bill would maintain the measure's provision that puts a share of cannabis revenue toward addiction services and programs.
A solemn mood settled in the chamber at the start of discussions with Rep. Jason Kropf, D-Bend and co-chair of the joint addiction committee, introducing the bill. He thanked Oregonians who testified before the committee about their losses of loved ones and their hard-fought triumphs over addiction.
"We have to acknowledge the tragedies," said Kropf, also a former Deschutes County prosecutor. "We have to figure out a way to build on the successes."
Other lawmakers shared stories about people struggling with addiction they have met in their professional or personal lives. Dexter, a physician, talked about working with a man who had a methamphetamine addiction.
And Rep. James Hieb, R-Canby, spoke about the loss of his younger brother to a fentanyl overdose in 2014, declaring, "I believe that this bill will help addicts."
Three Republican and four Democratic lawmakers voted against the bill, spurred in part by concerns that it either did not go far enough or would disproportionately put people of color in jail.
"Criminalization for drug addiction is not the answer," said Rep. Travis Nelson, D-Portland.
Nelson, a Black lawmaker and nurse, said the bill falls short of the comprehensive strategy needed to tackle the issue and will disproportionately harm people of color.
"I fear it may be taking a step backward," Nelson said.
When the Legislature's joint addiction committee debated the bill, civil rights advocates, including the ACLU of Oregon, warned that Oregon's system of dealing with drug users would deteriorate because of inequities in the legislation.
For example, counties would have the option, but not a mandate, to set up new, state-funded deflection programs that offer people a chance to avoid charges after an initial encounter with a police officer.
So far, 23 of Oregon's 36 counties have signaled their intent to set up the new programs. Defendants in all Oregon's counties, not just the 23, would have additional opportunities to enter diversion programs with treatment and the expungement of charges.
The bill would provide about $30.5 million for counties and community mental health programs, which contract with counties to provide services to people in addiction.
That's part of an estimated $211 million that lawmakers want to put toward addiction-related services, treatment and programs. That total includes more funding for court programs, community mental health clinics, treatment programs, new residential treatment facilities and other services like addiction medication in jails.
Measure 110 providers, who've already received $276 million in cannabis revenue, will continue to receive that funding for housing, treatment and services from peers, who have experienced addiction and recovery themselves and are trained to work with people in addiction.
"The public health approach of expanding treatment without punishment was the right approach, but HB 4002 doubles down on the same mistakes the state made in implementing Measure 110," said Tera Hurst, executive director of the Health Justice Recovery Alliance, a nonprofit with members and providers who give Measure 110-funded services. "Unfortunately, it will be people struggling with addiction — especially those living outside and Black and brown Oregonians — who will pay the biggest price. And our communities will be no safer for it."

Feb 27 (Reuters) - Data analytics software maker Splunk SPLK.O topped Wall Street estimates for fourth-quarter revenue and profit on Tuesday, bolstered by strong demand for its cybersecurity software and cloud solutions. Splunk provides a broad range of data security applications for businesses and analysts consider them among the best at ingesting, monitoring and analyzing machine data.
The company has adapted its software for smaller IT firms looking to trim expenses in an unpredictable economy.
San Francisco, California-based Splunk focuses on subscription or renewable contract models for its enterprise clients, with more than 90% of the Fortune 100 using its solutions, according to brokerage Morningstar.
The company reported total revenue of $1.49 billion, beating analysts' expectation of $1.28 billion, according to LSEG data.
Splunk reported total annual recurring revenue of $4.21 billion in the quarter ended Jan. 31, up by 15% compared to last year. On an adjusted basis, the company earned $3.02 per share, compared with an estimate of $1.95 per share, according to LSEG data.
Splunk said it expects its merger with Cisco Systems CSCO.O to close towards the end of the current quarter or early in the second quarter of 2024.
Analysts have said Cisco's global presence and channel partnerships could help sell Splunk's security solutions at a larger scale.

TORONTO — (AP) — Former Canadian prime minister Brian Mulroney, who forged closer ties with the United States through a sweeping free trade agreement and whose Progressive Conservative party suffered a devastating defeat just after he left office, died Thursday. He was 84.
The country's 18th prime minister died peacefully and surrounded by family, his daughter Caroline Mulroney said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter. Mulroney's family said last summer he was improving daily after a heart procedure that followed treatment for prostate cancer in early 2023.
Leader of the Progressive Conservative party from 1983 to 1993, Mulroney served almost a decade as prime minister after he was first elected in 1984 after snagging the largest majority in Canadian history with 211 of 282 seats.
The win would mark Canada's first Conservative majority government in 26 years. His government was re-elected in 1988.
Mulroney entered the job with massive support, but he left with the lowest approval rating in Canadian history. In the years since more recent prime ministers sought his advice.
"Brian Mulroney loved Canada. I'm devastated to learn of his passing. He never stopped working for Canadians, and he always sought to make this country an even better place to call home," Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a statement.
"As we mourn his passing and keep his family and friends in our thoughts, let us also acknowledge – and celebrate – Mr. Mulroney's role in building the modern, dynamic, and prosperous country we all know today," Trudeau said.
The man known for his charm and Irish blarney — a gift for the gab — was an ardent advocate of stronger U.S.-Canadian relations. He eulogized two American presidents.
He pushed a free trade deal forward in no small part due to his chumminess with U.S. President Ronald Reagan.
Few Canadians around during his reign have forgotten the widely broadcast Mulroney-Regan duet of "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling" at the Shamrock summit in Quebec City in 1985, named after the pair's Irish heritage and the fact that the summit fell on St. Patrick's Day. The 24-hour meeting opened the door to future free trade talks between the countries.
Along with a fan base of fellow conservative Margaret Thatcher, Mulroney can also boast of an enduring friendship with former President George H.W. Bush.
Mulroney delivered a eulogy for Bush's state funeral.
Mulroney also eulogized Reagan in 2004. Mulroney, Reagan and Bush became friends when they shared the world stage as leaders of their countries during the last decade of the Cold War.
Mulroney's nine years in power overlapped with Bush's four.
It was Mulroney's amiable relationship with his southern counterparts that helped develop the free-trade treaty, a hotly contested pact at the time. The trade deal led to a permanent realignment of the Canadian economy and huge increases in north-south trade.
However, Mulroney's administration was saddled with scandals and his near decade reign as prime minister came crashing down in 1993 when voters delivered a devastating election defeat to his Progressive Conservative Party, leaving it with just two seats in the 295-member House of Commons. He left shortly before the election result.
The defeat came amid widespread unhappiness over Canada's then-depressed economy. Canadians blamed Mulroney of failing to address a three-year-old recession that left a record number of people out of work or bankrupt.
Under his leadership, a much-criticized 7% sales tax was pushed through, as well as the 1988 U.S.-Canada Free Trade Agreement, after more than 100 years of tariff protection. The agreement later included Mexico in 1994, evolving into the North American Free Trade Agreement.
The Quebec-born, half-Irish, "boy from Baie-Comeau" (a small-town in the French-speaking province) leader campaigned hard on the trade agreements following his first term.
But many constituents were opposed to the treaty, concerned that the agreement would jeopardize Canadian sovereignty. Critics blamed the rising unemployment during the late '80s and early '90s in Canada on factors such as businesses moving south to escape higher Canadian taxes and labor costs.
Former Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper noted that Mulroney was vilified for the free trade deal during his leadership but said that history will remember him as the leader who set Canada on a path to unprecedented economic growth and prosperity.
Mulroney also irked Canadians by failing to unite the country's then bickering provinces and resolve French-speaking Quebec's desire for special status in the constitution, eventually leading to what would become a referendum on Quebec separation after he left office. The Quebec separatists lost a narrow vote.
Mulroney was born March 20, 1939, in Baie-Comeau, an isolated smelting town on Quebec's North Shore.
Hired as a labor lawyer by Montreal's largest law firm, Ogilvy Renault, he later became the president of the Iron Ore Company of Canada, a subsidiary of Cleveland-based Hanna Mining.

The timing couldn't be worse for Donald Trump as he faces the prospect of having to sell property to cover a massive verdict against him.
The former president said in a court filing Wednesday he may soon need "to raise capital under exigent circumstances" to push ahead with an appeal of New York state's $454 million civil fraud verdict against him. A brutal market for many commercial property owners means he faces significant losses in his real estate empire if he unloads assets.
The billionaire has few options. He must pay the full judgment by March 25 or arrange a bond for at least 110% of the amount in order to put the fine on hold while he appeals. To get an appeal bond, Trump will need to hand over cash, sell properties or use them as collateral, tying up most if not all of his liquid assets for months or longer.
Unless Trump can convince the appeals court to put the verdict on hold during his entire appeal, he could find himself in a financial squeeze.
If he's forced to sell, "there would be no way to recover any property sold following a successful appeal and no means to recover the resulting financial losses," Trump attorney Alina Habba said in the filing. Meanwhile, New York Attorney General Letitia James has made clear that she's prepared to seize Trump's assets if he doesn't pay the verdict or post an appeals bond on time.
Brutal Market
Making matters worse is a brutal market for many commercial real estate owners. Property values plunged as borrowing costs rose, and the remote work trend that started during the pandemic continues to cut into demand for office space. Prices slumped 22% in the year through January, according to real estate analytics firm Green Street.
Habba didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
Many sellers have been forced to accept drastically lower prices. The Aon Center, a Los Angeles office tower, recently sold for $147.8 million, about 45% less than its previous purchase price in 2014. A Los Angeles office building located near Century City and Beverly Hills sold for about 52% less than its price five years ago.
The Trump Organization owns or invests in multiple office towers from New York to San Francisco. One of its key Manhattan properties, 40 Wall St., was purchased by Trump in what his business hails as "one of the great real estate deals of all time" back in 1995. In 2015, it was valued at $540 million, according to commercial mortgage-backed securities data. That has since fallen to $270 million, the Bloomberg Billionaires Index estimates.
Trump's filing with the appeals court was the first time he's hinted publicly that he may not have enough liquid assets to cover the verdict in the fraud case, where a judge ruled Feb. 16 that the former president had misled banks for years in violation of New York law. Trump also owes $83.3 million to writer E. Jean Carroll, who won a defamation suit against him last month, making matters even worse for the presidential candidate.
In testimony last year, Trump claimed to have more than $400 million in cash. While that's a hefty sum, it wouldn't be enough to cover the bonds he'd need to post with the court while appealing the back-to-back verdicts.
Trump SPAC Shares
Meanwhile, Trump's finances could get a boost from his Trump Media & Technology Group — which operates the Truth Social platform he posts on daily. In 2021, it agreed to merge with a special purpose acquisition company called Digital World Acquisition to become a publicly traded company.
A frenetic rally in a stock tied to Trump Media & Technology Group has minted a nearly $4 billion windfall for Trump. But that won't help him for now. The profit is only on paper and he'll have to wait months to monetize it. If the stock stays up, he could use it replenish his coffers down the road.
Meanwhile on Wednesday, the co-founders of Trump's media company accused the former president of trying to water down the value of their shares. The lawsuit, filed in Delaware, could delay the merger deal even more, depriving him of billions as a fresh source of cash to pay down his verdicts.
Trump has proposed posting a smaller $100 million bond while he appeals the New York fraud verdict, arguing that the judgment against him was "more than adequately secured" without posting a full bond to appeal. Trump said his "vast ownership interests in New York real estate" was sufficient to ensure he'll pay the fine if his appeal failed. After all, he argued, "trophy properties" like 40 Wall Street cannot be "removed from the jurisdiction in secret."
In the appeals court filing, Trump's attorney said other properties could be used for collateral, including Trump Tower and Trump Park Avenue in Manhattan, his Seven Springs estate outside New York City, and Trump National Golf Club.
'Insufficient' Assets
James balked at Trump's offer for a smaller bond, arguing in a letter to the appeals court that risked leaving the state empty handed if Trump's appeal failed.
Trump and the other defendants in the case, including his two grown sons, "all but concede that Mr. Trump has insufficient liquid assets to satisfy the judgment," James said in the letter. "A prevailing plaintiff is entitled to have her award secured, and defendants have never demonstrated that Mr. Trump's liquid assets could satisfy the full amount of the judgment."
James has made clear that she's prepared to seize Trump's assets if he doesn't pay the verdict or post an appeals bond on time, mentioning 40 Wall Street explicitly as a potential target in a recent interview with ABC News. Habba, Trump's attorney, criticized those remarks in her letter to the court, accusing James of "shamelessly" threatening to seize Trump's assets "if she is not paid quickly enough."
Despite Trump's warnings about his financial condition, an appeals court judge in Manhattan denied his emergency request Wednesday for a temporary halt to enforcement of the verdict in the fraud case, at least for now.
But the former president will get another shot at arguing for a delay that would last throughout his legal challenge to the civil fraud judgment. James will file a response to that request by March 11, with any response by Trump due March 18. A full appeals court panel could rule any time after that.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Environmental Protection Agency said Thursday it is delaying planned rules for existing natural gas plants that emit harmful air pollutants and contribute to global warming. The agency said it is still on track to finalize rules for coal-fired power plants and new gas plants that have not come online, a key step to slow planet-warming pollution from the power sector, the nation's second-largest contributor to climate change. But in a turnabout, the agency said it will review standards for existing gas plants and expand the rules to include more pollutants. The change came after environmental justice groups complained the earlier plan allowed too much toxic air pollution that disproportionately harms low-income neighborhoods. | <urn:uuid:392c7d21-9c35-44f5-846d-9a48e1d5990d> | {

- READ MORE: Married At First Sight villain Tori Adams apologises for her 'feral little outburst' against fan favourite Cassandra Allen at wild dinner party
Married At First Sight Australia supervillain Jack Dunkley risked a wardrobe malfunction on Thursday when he hit the gym in a pair of tiny workout shorts.
The fitness instructor, 34, put on quite the leggy display as he headed back to work following filming for the show.
The television star showed off his muscular physique in the shorts which he paired with a skintight black T-shirt.
Slicking his dark locks back into his trademark man-bun, Jack finished off his look with a pair of black Vans and high white socks.
The gym junkie wasn't shy about flashing his numerous tattoos, including the matching one he recently received with his TV bride Tori Adams.
Married At First Sight Australia supervillain Jack Dunkley risked a wardrobe malfunction on Thursday when he hit the gym in a pair of tiny workout shorts
The fiery couple proudly received matching tattoos during Monday night's episode of MAFS after the infamous 'muzzle' drama kicked off last Wednesday.
The couple were confronted by the experts during Sunday's commitment ceremony over Jack saying other grooms could sleep with Tori during 'couple swap' week and telling Jono to put a 'muzzle' on his wife Lauren.
Tori admitted Jack's remark made her feel 'physically sick' after her steadfast support of him at the tense dinner party during which he was accused of sexism.
The fitness instructor, 34, put on quite the leggy display as he headed back to work following filming for the show
However, the couple once again overcame the drama and took the very bold step of getting matching tattoos during Monday's episode.
The permanent declaration saw Jack get a devilish cherub holding a heart pierced by an arrow on his inner thigh, while Tori got the same design on her arm.
Of the inking, Tori said, 'I just think it will be like a bit of a f**k you to everyone,' referring to the criticism they have received as a couple due to Jack's behaviour.

Meanwhile, Jack said: 'If anyone is questioning our connection and how we feel about each other, I think this will help answer that as well.'
Moments after the episode aired, Jack attracted the ire of his ex-girlfriend Courtney Jade who claimed his trip to the tattoo parlour with Tori was a big 'FU' to her.
Courtney took to Instagram with a scathing message after the episode aired, sharing a selfie of herself drinking what appeared to be a glass of white wine.
'Cheers to matching tattoos. We were planning on getting them, so I guess that's another FU to me,' she captioned the snap. | <urn:uuid:1133de78-2433-4f3a-a7e1-65631521b5a9> | {

A new study reveals that the name you give your baby may be highly influential in their life and may even boost their success.
Digital content and SEO company FatJoe looked at the top 500 billionaires globally using Bloomberg data and counted the number of times a name appeared on the list. The team also calculated the total net worth and average net worth of people with that name.
The data found that the top baby names were all traditionally male names, reflecting a gender bias still extant in the most successful areas of business today.
Here's a look at the top baby names linked to success – and many even billionaire status.

Top baby names linked to success
John and David rank highest
The names John and David, which are both classic, Biblical names, tied in first position on the chart.
Famous examples include John Reece, the CEO of Ineos; John Fredriksen, the former CEO of Frontline, and British businessman David Reuben.
The names Thomas, Michael, Wang, Mark, Charles, Zhang, Richard and Jim also ranked on the list.
Other notable examples of successful men with these names include Michael Bloomberg, an American politician with a current net worth of $106.2 billion; Jim Walton, the current heir to Walmart's huge fortune; and Mark Zuckerberg, the co-founder of Facebook.
Lack of female names
While the data did not rank any traditional female names, FatJoe noted that naming conventions can vary significantly across different cultures and contexts.
According to the SEO company, names like "Wang" and "Zhang" are gender-neutral surnames in Chinese culture.
According to Forbes magazine, the top female billionaires in 2023 were Francoise Bettencourt Meyers, Julia Koch, and Alice Walton.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration will investigate potential national security risks posed by Chinese-made "smart cars" that can gather sensitive information about Americans driving them.
The probe could lead to new regulations aimed at preventing China from using sophisticated technology in electric cars and other so-called connected vehicles to track drivers and their personal information.
While the action stops short of a ban on Chinese imports, President Joe Biden says he is taking unprecedented steps to safeguard Americans' data.
He says Chinese cars could flood the U.S. market, posing risks to national security, adding, "I'm not going to let that happen on my watch." | <urn:uuid:f3847303-3bd3-4284-8fb5-614637b165a7> | {

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — Demari Batten will serve seven years in connection to the 2021 shooting death of a 17-year-old outside Menchville High School, according to the Commonwealth's Attorney's Office.
Batten was sentenced for shooting a firearm on school grounds, having a firearm at school and carrying a loaded weapon in public.

Menchville High School shooting suspect found 'not guilty' for manslaughter
In Dec. 2021, Newport News Police Chief Drew said that Batten went to a vehicle after a basketball game at Menchville High. Justice Dunham allegedly approached the vehicle, and an altercation happened that ended in Dunham being shot.
Batten's attorney says a group of teens attacked him while he was in his car and that he shot his gun in self defense.
Batten's first trial ended in a mistrial where the jury found him guilty of having a firearm on school property and discharging it on school property.

ExxonMobil faces dozens of lawsuits from states and localities alleging the company lied for decades about its role in climate change and the dangers of burning fossil fuels. But now, ExxonMobil is going on the offensive with a lawsuit targeting investors who want the company to slash pollution that's raising global temperatures.
Investors in publicly-traded companies like ExxonMobil try to shape corporate policies by filing shareholder proposals that are voted on at annual meetings. ExxonMobil says it's fed up with a pair of investor groups that it claims are abusing the system by filing similar proposals year after year in an effort to micromanage its business.
ExxonMobil's lawsuit points to growing tensions between companies and activist investors calling for corporations to do more to shrink their climate impact and prepare for a hotter world. Interest groups on both sides of the case say it could unleash a wave of corporate litigation against climate activists. It is happening at a time when global temperatures continue to rise, and corporate analysts say most companies aren't on track to meet targets they set to reduce their heat-trapping emissions.
"Exxon is really upping the ante here in a big way by bringing this case," says Josh Zinner, chief executive of an investor coalition called the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility, whose members include a defendant in the ExxonMobil case. "Other companies could use this tactic not just to block resolutions," Zinner says, "but to intimidate their shareholders from even bringing these [climate] issues to the table."
ExxonMobil said in an email that it is suing the investor groups Arjuna Capital and Follow This because the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) isn't enforcing rules governing when investors can resubmit shareholder proposals. A court is the "the right place to get clarity on SEC rules," ExxonMobil said, adding that the case "is not about climate change."
Other corporations are watching ExxonMobil's case, says Charles Crain, a vice president at the National Association of Manufacturers, which represents ExxonMobil and other industrial companies.
"If companies are decreasingly able to get the SEC to allow them to exclude proposals that are obviously politically motivated, then the next question is, well, can the courts succeed where the SEC has failed — or, more accurately, not even tried?," Crain says.
Activists push companies for more aggressive climate strategies
The shareholder proposal from Arjuna and Follow This called for ExxonMobil to cut emissions faster from its own operations and from its supply chain, including the pollution that's created when customers burn its oil and natural gas. That indirect pollution, known as Scope 3 emissions, accounts for 90% of ExxonMobil's carbon footprint, according to Arjuna and Follow This. The proposal is similar to others that the investor groups submitted to ExxonMobil in recent years and which ExxonMobil says received scant support from other shareholders.
After ExxonMobil sued the groups in federal court in Texas in January, Arjuna and Follow This withdrew the proposal and promised not to submit it to ExxonMobil again. But ExxonMobil refuses to drop its case.
Arjuna declined to comment. The firm said in a court filing that ExxonMobil''s climate targets aren't as ambitious as those of other big oil and gas companies, and that its shareholder proposal was meant to "foster better investment outcomes by addressing the material threat that climate change poses" to the company.
Mark van Baal, founder of Follow This, said in a statement that ExxonMobil is trying to stifle shareholders.
"Apparently, Exxon does not want shareholders to vote on whether the company should accelerate its efforts to reduce emissions," van Baal said. "This is the concern of more and more investors who want [to] safeguard the long-term future of the company and the global economy in view of the climate crisis."
Companies are offering more transparency on climate, but activists say they need to see action
Last year was the hottest ever recorded on Earth, and the effects were devastating. Rising temperatures are driving more extreme weather, from heat waves to floods and droughts. And scientists say the impacts will only get worse because humans keep putting more greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere, mainly from burning fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas.
Thousands of peoples' lives are disrupted or harmed by extreme weather, and the economic costs are enormous. Weather disasters in the United States last year inflicted at least $92.9 billion in damages, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
"What we've seen, unfortunately, is that even in the face of disclosure and more transparency from these companies, not much has actually changed from a strategy perspective," says Kevin Chuah, an assistant professor at Northeastern University's D'Amore-McKim School of Business.
The impact of rising temperatures has also led states and municipalities to sue ExxonMobil and other oil and gas companies for the threats that their communities are facing, and the industry's alleged efforts to muddy the public's understanding of climate science. The latest lawsuits were filed by the city of Chicago and the state of California.
Critics say ExxonMobil's lawsuit is part of a broader effort to limit investor activism
Activist investors like Arjuna and Follow This use shareholder proposals to push corporations to go further on climate. But they've struggled in recent years to get support from broader groups of shareholders. Experts say investors are hesitant to back new climate proposals when companies already have policies to disclose and cut emissions. And they say investors worry that proposals have gotten too prescriptive and might interfere with how companies are run.
"I think these are financially material issues," says Chuah of Northeastern University. "And therefore many investors are bringing these concerns up."
ExxonMobil says it is committed to cutting emissions from its operations. But the idea that activist investors like Arjuna and Follow This can quickly push the company out of the oil and gas business with new climate policies is "simplistic and against the interests of the vast majority of ExxonMobil shareholders," the company said in a court filing in Texas.
ExxonMobil said in a statement to NPR that while shareholders are entitled to submit proposals to the company, they don't have "an unlimited right to put forth any proposal to do anything."
"Their intent is to advance their agenda rather than creating long-term value for shareholders," ExxonMobil said of Arjuna and Follow This.
Parts of corporate America have grown frustrated with the shareholder proposal process since the SEC issued guidance in 2021 that made it harder for companies to turn away some resolutions. The SEC specifically cited shareholder proposals that ask companies to set targets and timeframes to address climate change, saying it would no longer view those kinds of resolutions as inappropriate as long as companies are free to decide how to meet the goals.
The National Association of Manufacturers has argued that forcing companies to publish shareholder proposals that deal with "contentious issues unrelated to [their] core business or the creation of shareholder value," including climate change, violates their First Amendment right of free speech. And Republicans in Congress introduced legislation last year that would allow companies to reject shareholder proposals concerning environmental, social or political issues.
"Certainly, there are material climate-related topics that are going to be relevant for a company considering its growth into the future," Crain says. But he says activists too often pursue a "political goal" rather than try to help companies "understand and mitigate those climate related risks or opportunities for their operations."
Crain declined to discuss individual companies or shareholder proposals, and he says there isn't an objective way to determine when a shareholder proposal is politically motivated.
ExxonMobil's critics say its lawsuit is part of a broader effort to curtail shareholder activism, especially around social and environmental issues. "And the reason is because it's one of the few effective avenues left to hold companies accountable," says Zinner of the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility.

LAS VEGAS — (AP) — When Australia's National Rugby League decided to try to expand its reach to the United States, it used a distinctly American sport as a model.
The NFL annually plays regular-season games in London, is in the midst of a four-year commitment to Germany and in September will make its mark in Brazil for the first time. The London games often sell out, and tickets were gone for last year's foray into Germany within 15 minutes.
Now it's the NRL taking its game abroad to the U.S., following through on a plan that first was discussed in 2020 as Australia and the rest of the world coped with the onset of COVID-19.
Four NRL teams will open their season Saturday night at Las Vegas' Allegiant Stadium, which hosted the Super Bowl on Feb. 11. The games — the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles against the South Sydney Rabbitohs and then the Sydney Roosters versus the Brisbane Broncos — will be televised nationally in the U.S.
"A lot of us buy into the NFL back home and enjoy it and we want the same in America, to fall in love with our game," said Damien Cook, who plays for South Sydney. "We spoke to a couple of (club rugby) teams down in San Diego who started with four teams and now they've got 14, so it's definitely building over here. Hopefully, this game this weekend will give it a real good boost and America can love the game that we do so much."
The games Saturday are the first in a five-year deal to bring NRL teams to Las Vegas, with new clubs rotating in over the coming years.
"We see other big sports leagues around the world like the NFL looking at international growth and international expansion," NRL CEO Andrew Abdo said. "For us, it's also multidimensional."
Which, Abdo said, means the NRL is doing more than just playing the two games and going home. It's also was about organizing a series of events to help promote the league, including a two-day national club tournament and a Thursday night fan fest at the Fremont Street Experience in downtown Las Vegas.
The ultimate goal is to create a U.S. fan base and grow it similar to how the English Premier League has attracted a strong core of American supporters who follow teams such as Liverpool, Manchester United or Tottenham.
To help achieve that aim, the NRL is first working on making inroads on the West Coast, largely because Saturday's game times come when Australians are awake Sunday. The four teams were sent to train and promote the league in three locations — Las Vegas, Los Angeles and San Diego — before they all gathered together this week in Nevada.
Oscar winner Russell Crowe, who grew up in Australia and is a co-owner of the Rabbitohs, narrated a five-minute YouTube video explaining the rules to American fans. The video has received 1.2 million views on X, formerly known as Twitter. It also is being used on TV broadcasts and on on-demand platforms.
"We think our sport, once Americans are exposed to it, they'll see our sport is something that they will follow in addition to all the American sports that they love," Abdo said.
The NRL is wildly popular Down Under, and it risks alienating such rabid fans by playing regular-season games so far away in a country that until now hasn't shown wide interest in the sport. But Abdo said the feedback has been positive, and about 14,000 tickets were sold to Australian fans.
Three TV stations and two newspapers from Sydney also sent reporters to cover this event.
All four teams traveled last week to acclimate to the time difference, but it's not purely a business trip.
The teams have made this like a bowl trip for college football teams, taking in the sights in Las Vegas and Southern California. For Manly players, that included attending an NHL game between the Vegas Golden Knights and Toronto Maple Leafs, and Brisbane players watched an NBA game between the Los Angeles Lakers and San Antonio Spurs.
"It's really exciting for us," said Reuben Garrick, who plays for Manly. "I think the U.S. loves their sport and we feel like we've got a really good brand to bring here. We want to show how exciting rugby league is and the NRL is, and we're really excited to play at Allegiant Stadium."
He called his initial impression of Las Vegas as "larger than life. It's way bigger than anyone described it to us."
Texas has long claimed everything is bigger there, and Brooks' teammate, Ethan Bullemor, came to understand that when he traveled to Dallas last year and attended a Red River Rivalry game between college football powers Texas and Oklahoma. He came away an unabashed Longhorns fan who cheers the team on from nearly 8,500 miles away.
"I think the way Americans do sport is just phenomenal," Bullemor said. "They've got a huge population as well, which helps, and it's very state-based. I think it's a great opportunity for the game if we could begin to penetrate into the U.S. market and show them what our game's about. It's only going to grow our game even more and put it on a global stage and then strengthen it back in Australia."

Vanguard said this that Tim Buckley will retire from his role as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer by year-end 2024 after a dynamic and highly successful tenure as CEO and more than three decades of distinguished Vanguard service in a press release. Vanguard's board of directors has initiated a comprehensive process to select a new CEO, the company reported,
The announcement also said it was evaluating both internal and external candidates. Vanguard also announced today that Chief Investment Officer Greg Davis has been appointed to the additional role of president of the firm, effective immediately, the release said. Sources without knowledge of internal board discussions said Davis's elevation to the presidency makes him the clearcut frontrunner to succeed Buckley.
"Thirty-three years ago, I was lucky to join a company that believed in giving investors a fair shake as they saved for retirement, for their kids' college education, or for their dream home," Mr. Buckley said in the release, reflecting on his retirement, "In my seventh year as CEO, we have scaled our mission to more than 50 million investors, and our team is just getting started. I have been passionate about developing the next generation of leaders, and I look forward to those leaders elevating Vanguard to new heights. It has been an absolute privilege to lead Vanguard and help advance the company's mission of giving clients the best chance for investment success. Today, Vanguard is poised to seize the opportunities of the future while continuing to deliver for our investor-owners."
Buckley joined Vanguard in 1991 as founder John Bogle's research assistant, where he learned first-hand the principles of the shareholder-owned investment company the release said. Buckley became a member of Vanguard's senior leadership team in 2001 as head of Vanguard's technology unit. The release reported that Buckley subsequently led the Personal Investor division through a period of significant growth and then served as Chief Investment Officer before being named CEO in 2018. He was appointed Chairman in 2019. | <urn:uuid:04430157-5077-43b7-bf1b-e0f3b30815cc> | {

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — The first U.S. spacecraft to land on the moon since the Apollo astronauts fell silent Thursday, a week after breaking a leg at touchdown and tipping over near the lunar south pole.
Intuitive Machines' lander, Odysseus, lasted longer than the company anticipated after it ended up on its side with hobbled solar power and communication.
The end came as flight controllers received one last photo from Odysseus and commanded its computer and power systems to standby. That way, the lander can wake up in another two to three weeks — if it survives the bitterly cold lunar night. Intuitive Machines spokesman Josh Marshall said these final steps drained the lander's batteries and put Odysseus "down for a long nap."
"Good night, Odie. We hope to hear from you again," the company said via X, formerly Twitter.
Before losing power, Odysseus sent back what Intuitive Machines called "a fitting farewell transmission."
Taken just before touchdown, the picture shows the bottom of the lander on the moon's pockmarked surface, with a tiny crescent Earth and a small sun in the background.
The lander was originally intended to last about a week at the moon.
Houston-based Intuitive Machines became the first private business to land a spacecraft on the moon without crashing when Odysseus touched down Feb. 22. Only five countries had achieved that since the 1960s, including Japan, which made a sideways landing last month.
Odysseus carried six experiments for NASA, which paid $118 million for the ride. The first company to take part in NASA's program for commercial lunar deliveries never made it to the moon; its lander came crashing back to Earth in January.
NASA views these private landers as scouts that will pave the way for astronauts due to arrive in another few years.
Until Odysseus, the last U.S. moon landing was by Apollo 17's Gene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt in 1972.

- READ MORE: The collateral damage of Jase and Lauren's Nova move: Ben, Liam and Belle notified they were losing their breakfast slot 'shortly' before radio duo's 'secret' photo shoot
Lauren Phillips and Jase Hawkins have announced they will be returning to the Melbourne radio waves next Friday.
The popular duo made the dramatic announcement in early February they were launching a new breakfast show on Nova's 100 FM, after their program was axed by KIIS FM last year to make way for Kyle Sandilands and Jackie 'O' Henderson.
'No one is more excited to be back together and back on air than the two of us. We are counting down the minutes until next Friday,' Lauren said in a statement on Friday.
'We've got plenty of stories to tell.'
The new radio program will be aired each weekday from 6am to 9am.
Lauren Phillips and Jase Hawkins have announced they will be returning to the Melbourne radio waves next Friday
The high-rating team will be replacing the morning show hosted by Ben Harvey, Liam Stapleton and Belle Jackson.
Jase and Lauren recorded their last KIIS FM show on December 1.
In November, Sydney-based radio duo Kyle and Jackie 'O' signed a record-breaking $200million, 10-year deal live on-air - keeping them on the airwaves until 2034.

At the time, a spokesperson for ARN confirmed to Daily Mail Australia the deal for the Sydney duo meant their work pals Jase and Lauren were out of a job.
Jase and Lauren had their first show together in 2021, and it had an overwhelmingly positive response.
Nova 100's current breakfast team, Ben, Liam & Belle, will host a brand new national show, Late Drive, airing weekdays from 6pm to 8pm.
In November, Sydney-based radio duo Kyle and Jackie 'O' signed a record-breaking $200million, 10-year deal live on-air - keeping them on the airwaves until 2034 | <urn:uuid:f5fda62c-29bc-455c-8f05-3fc75895ea80> | {

If you're a TSA PreCheck member, travel may have gotten even easier.
At some airports nationwide, TSA PreCheck members may no longer be required to show their ID or boarding pass.
"We recently launched TSA PreCheck Touchless ID at O'Hare International Airport, which allows travelers to seamlessly drop off their bags and make it quickly through security – all without having to present an ID," a United spokesperson told the Points Guy.

To use this feature, customers opt-in to this service in the United app when they check in for their flight. When they arrive at the airport, they can head to a bag drop shortcut kiosk where their photo is taken and their bag tag will print. Next, an agent will tag their bag without having to check their ID.
If a traveler is not checking a bag, they can head right to a TSA security checkpoint where their photo is taken.
The technology is similar to other recent security updates, including the Delta Digital ID and American Airlines Mobile ID which allow travelers to quickly walk through security after looking into a camera and getting their face scanned.
TSA advises that travelers must continue to bring proper identification to the airport.
TSA tests self-screening
TSA told FOX Television Stations in a statement that it is currently laying the groundwork for new technologies to improve the passenger experience.
"Further development with facial recognition technology will continue to occur organically as TSA deploys technology to checkpoints nationwide, states adopt mobile driver's licenses, and additional airports and airlines recognize an opportunity to serve their frequent flyer members and other travelers with innovative identity verification technologies," the TSA spokesperson said in a statement.
TSA also recently introduced and is currently testing self-service kiosks at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas.
According to a release from TSA, Screening at Speed allows TSA PreCheck passengers to do their own security screening with "minimal to no assistance" from TSA officers.
"Like self-ordering kiosks at fast food and sit-down restaurants, self-service screening allows passengers in the Trusted Traveler Program to complete the security screening process on their own," Screening at Speed program manager John Fortune said in a statement. "The passenger self-service screening technology aims to keep travelers and TSOs safer by minimizing person to person contact, reducing the number of bags TSOs have to pick up and move around and allowing passengers to proceed at their own pace." | <urn:uuid:1b89c9e0-fa40-4ab8-be56-61c508c3a628> | {

PORTSMOUTH, Va. — If you live in Portsmouth, it's likely you're seeing your real estate values go up. City leaders discussed the rise at a work session this week while they weighed tax rates for the upcoming fiscal budget.
Interim city assessor Steven Edwards told city council members Tuesday the metrics indicate the city's real estate market is healthy.
News 3 caught up with people who live in Portsmouth.

Portsmouth City Council votes to remove city assessor after less than a week
Neighbor Janet Day said when homes in her neighborhood go up for sale, they're snapped up quickly. She added that the homes are well-built and folks want to remain in the area.
"We don't have a lot of new," explained Day. "Actually, a lot of them are second- or third-generation."
That trend of quick sales isn't just in her neighborhood. Edwards told the city Portsmouth homes were on the market last year for a median of just 17 days, with a national annual 30-year mortgage rate of 6.8%. He said the median home price was $265,000. That's the lowest median home price in Hampton Roads cities but it's on par with Norfolk, Newport News and Hampton which have older housing stock.
"The market is not necessarily as hot as it was back in 2020 and 2021 but the interest rates are not stopping someone with home ownership," explained Christian Harris, principal broker of BP Real Estate in Portsmouth.
Harris said the area's been drawing in first-time home buyers with the right home prices.

News 3 asked folks in Portsmouth what's getting them to stay.
"We lived in the apartments for one year and then we bought a house," said Marie Lamb, long-time resident of Portsmouth. "We just liked Portsmouth because it was kind of in the middle of everything, centrally located. There's lots of history here, which my husband loved."
And for sellers, the value's increasing too. Portsmouth's residential real estate values increased by 6.6% last year, according to Edwards.
"I think this shows a true depiction of what is happening economically that counters a lot of how the media is portraying this majority African American city," said Dr. Mark Whitaker, Portsmouth city council member. "And I believe the data supports that all of that's being said. The land is still being sold and transferred which shows there's value."
Most folks don't want this to mean higher taxes, but they do want people to stay in and bring business to the area.
"Because that's one of my concerns that people move away from Portsmouth," said Michael Williams, long-time Portsmouth resident. "Even friends of mine move away. It would be nice for people to want to come here and remain here more so than going away. So we have to be able to do things like keep taxes down and make it affordable for most people in order to be attractive to most people."

Real estate assessment notices will be sent out on or around March 8. Informal appeal hearings are expected to begin March 18. | <urn:uuid:c20e3ce7-00c9-4151-b16b-28bf060e93c0> | {

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Iowa star Caitlin Clark is close to passing the late Pete Maravich as the all-time scorer in NCAA basketball history. Maravich's son Jaeson calls Clark a fantastic player who's been great for basketball. He says he will always consider her scoring mark separate" from his father's. Clark needs 18 points to eclipse Maravich's mark of 3,667 in what would he her 130th game over four seasons. Freshman couldn't play varsity basketball when Maravich arrived at LSU in 1966. He averaged 44.2 points over 83 games during three seasons in an era when there was no 3-point line or shot clock. | <urn:uuid:14e11d2e-96d6-4718-9176-d2fa23b7d422> | {

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — (AP) — Chad Ramey's first two trips to PGA National as a professional were largely forgettable. He might have a chance to change that this week.
Ramey shot a bogey-free round of 7-under 64 on Thursday in the opening round of the Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches, tying S.H. Kim for the 18-hole lead. Kim had an eagle and five birdies, including one on the finishing hole, to pull into the tie atop the leaderboard.
A group of five players — Cameron Young, Ryan Moore, Chesson Hadley, Austin Eckroat and Andrew Novak — all played in the morning wave and finished one stroke back with 6-under rounds of 65. Also at 65: David Skinns, who played in the afternoon and missed a 11-foot birdie putt on his final hole that would have given him a share of the lead.
Ramey's past appearances in the event — then known as the Honda Classic — were quick and unremarkable. He missed the cut at PGA National by 10 shots in 2022, missed it by just one stroke last year and failed to shoot a round in the 60s either time. But conditions were perfect when he teed off early Thursday; a course known to often have whipping winds had barely a breeze for much of his round.
"I got a good break this morning with there not being any wind," Ramey said. "I fully expect the rest of the week the wind to blow. I've never been here and it not blow. But to take advantage of the calm conditions is definitely a plus."
Added Rory McIlroy, the world's No. 2-ranked player who shot a 4-under 67 in the morning wave: "You're not going to get this course much easier."
Ramey made a 27-foot birdie putt on the opening hole, starting a stretch where he had five birdies in his opening seven holes — including on the 479-yard, par-4 sixth, one of PGA National's tougher holes. From there, he mostly just stayed out of trouble; only two of his 11 par putts were from outside of 4 feet.
"Hit it well, putted well, chipped in once," said Ramey, whose last first-round lead came last year at The Players Championship. "Very solid through the whole bag."
Kim — a South Korean who shot a 58 on the Japan Golf Tour in 2021 — holed out from 25 yards on the par-5 third to highlight his round. He holds a first-round lead for the first time in his 45 PGA Tour starts.
Hadley was also bogey-free, with six birdies on his card as he finished one shot back of Ramey. Moore holed out from 113 yards for eagle at the par-4 13th, highlighting his 65. Eckroat had five consecutive birdies in one stretch; he and Moore had nine birdies and three bogeys on the day.
Hadley said the combination of minimal wind and receptive greens left him thinking "let's go."
"I was able to take advantage of the conditions today and shoot 6 under. It probably will continue to go a little bit lower, but it'll show its teeth. It always does," Hadley said. "Typically if you're just hanging around on Sunday, you can put together something, and it can be a special weekend."
Billy Horschel, C.T. Pan, Sam Ryder, Bud Cauley, Erik van Rooyen, Kevin Yu and Chandler Phillips were in a group at 5-under 66. McIlroy, defending champion Chris Kirk and FedExCup points leader Matthieu Pavon were among those who finished with 67s on a day where PGA National was far from its toughest.
"This felt pretty tame, to be honest," said Daniel Berger, who finished with a 3-under 68. "I've played here where 2-under par is tied for fourth place. Obviously, the golf course has changed a little. It's a little easier right now. But I expect as the week goes on to get a little tougher as the greens get firmer."
Play was suspended for darkness with two groups unable to finish their final hole. They will complete their opening rounds early Friday.

"Life happens, but coffee helps."
That's the simple message that Londonderry, New Hampshire, police shared on their Facebook page on Wednesday after an SUV tipped over on its side in a Dunkin' drive-thru lane.
No one was injured in the Wednesday morning crash at the All Town gas station, the department said.
The Londonderry Fire Department told The Eagle-Tribune that the incident occurred around 7:30 a.m. The driver was checked out at the scene but did not require medical attention.
Commenters (over 200 in all) had a field day with the photos, cracking jokes at the driver's expense.
"The drive thru is not big enough," Carlos Gomez remarked.
U.S. & World
"They must have taken it too hard on the corner!" said Nikki Jarek.
Others wondered how the bizarre accident could have even happened in such tight quarters.
"How the heck?" said Jackie Keating.
"yikes, how on earth did they manage that?" added Johanne Petterson Tournas.
"SOmeone had to have seen this happen that can fill us in... I can't tink of any way this happened," said Joelene Arnold.
Commenter Tamara Jo said she thinks she spotted the culprit, a yellow post sticking out of the ground that it appears the vehicle might have run into, forcing the car onto its side.
It appears she was correct, as firefighters told The Eagle-Tribune that the SUV apparently drove up onto a concrete-filled metal pipe and tipped over.
For everyone else who needed their caffeine fix on Wednesday, service at the Dunkin' drive-thru was only temporarily disrupted while the vehicle was removed. | <urn:uuid:70699218-46cc-4714-a1f2-29bc3d3861d0> | {

Playboy model, 22, slams Leonardo DiCaprio, 49, as 'too weird and old' after kissing him in a club and claims actor has bizarre bedroom preference
Hieke Konings, 22, claims she snogged the Hollywood star, 49, in an invite-only nightclub, but slammed him as 'too weird and too old'.
Appearing on the cover of the Dutch edition of Playboy she recalled the night she met the Oscar-winning actor.
Hieke said: 'It was in a secret club in LA, one where you only get in by invitation. I saw him sitting there in his black hoodie and black cap and we made eye contact.'
She explained how Leo's manager brought her over to the star's table, saying: 'Leo wants to talk to you.'
A Playboy model has thrown shade on Leonardo DiCaprio after sharing a kiss with him on a night out in Los Angeles
Hieke Konings, 22, claims she snogged the Hollywood star, 49, in an invite-only nightclub, but slammed him as 'too weird and too old' (Leo pictured last month)
Appearing on the cover of the Dutch edition of Playboy she recalled the night she met the Oscar-winning actor
Hieke took the opportunity to bring up Leo's famous reputation for only dating models who are under the age of 25, to which the Titanic star admitted he was 'guilty'.
The pair then shared a snog, but Hieke described the kiss as average, saying: 'It was okay, but definitely not the best I've had.'
She was then invited to go home with the Killers Of The Flower Moon star, but turned him down.
Hieke said: 'He reacted very shocked. Of course he wasn't used to it. When I said I didn't know him well enough, he responded sweetly. I respect that.'
But she added: 'Whereupon he turned to another girl and took her home.'
Hieke said that while she had not slept with Leo, she had several pals who had spent the night with him and claimed he has some questionable preferences in the bedroom.
She said: 'One friend said he kept his earphones in during sex because he didn't want to hear her. And another said he even put a pillow on her head.'
The blonde beauty then said: 'No, Leo is too weird and too old.'

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Leonardo DiCaprio for comment.
Leo has found himself the butt of many a dating joke, as well as facing furious backlash over his apparent refusal to woo a woman who was over the age of 25.
Two years after the release of Titanic, the actor - who was 24 at the time - began dating then-18-year-old supermodel Gisele Bundchen, future ex-wife of NFL legend Tom Brady, but they split in 2004, when Gisele was 23.
In 2005, Leo jumped into another five-year romance with supermodel Bar Refaeli, who was 20 when they started seeing each other.
However, when Bar turned 25 years old in 2010, the two broke up - thus beginning an apparent dating pattern that would follow Leo for the next 13 years.
After spending a decade in two long-term romances, Leo had a series of short flings with famous women who were all under 25.
In 2011, he famously dated Gossip Girl star Blake Lively, who was 23 at the time and in 2012, he got together with 22-year-old model Erin Heatherton, which only lasted a few months.
Leo then moved on with another 22-year-old - German model Toni Garrn - who he split with after she turned 24 in 2014.

In 2018, Leo fell hard for model Camila Morrone (pictured last month), when Camila was just 20, before they split just one month after Camila turned 25

In 2015, he romanced Baywatch beauty Kelly Rohrbach, who was 25 at the time, but the relationship ended before she turned 26 years old.
He then jumped into another romance in 2016 with 24-year-old actress Nina Agdal, which ended two years later when Nina was 25 years old.
In 2018, Leo fell hard for model Camila Morrone, while he was 43 and Camila was just 20 and for a while it seemed as though Leo had finally settled down, before just one month after Camila turned 25, the pair's fairytale romance came to an end.
He was straight back to his old ways, being photographed with a bevy of young models, including Victoria Lamas, 25, and 19-year-old Eden Polani.
Leo is currently thought to be dating Italian model Vittoria Ceretti, 25, after first being linked in August 2023, grabbing ice cream in Santa Barbara.
The couple was also spotted together in early September partying, dancing and kissing each other in Ibiza.
Sources at the time claimed he was 'crazy' about Vittoria – who also cares deeply about environmental causes. They have yet to confirm their relationship.
Insiders claim Leo is now dating her exclusively, as she has 'all of the qualities he looks for in a partner.' | <urn:uuid:5771c0aa-b7b7-43ff-87ec-4b6270721c8f> | {

INDEPENDENCE, Mo. — A police officer and a court employee were shot and killed Thursday in Independence, Missouri.
The shooting happened around 1:30 p.m. at a house at 1111 N. Elsea Smith Road, KMBC reported. The court employee was reportedly attempting to serve an eviction notice when the shooting started, The Associated Press reported.
The victims were identified by police as Officer Cody Allen, 35, and Civil Process server Drexel Mack, 35, according to the news outlet.
A second police officer is in critical condition, the Independence Police Department said, according to the AP. The second officer is expected to survive, police said.
"My heart breaks for the Independence Police Department and all the family and friends of their officer who succumbed to injuries from a shooting earlier today," Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas said on X, formerly known as Twitter. "I am praying for all others impacted today and all of the women and men of law enforcement in the Kansas City area."
"We are devastated that a court employee, who is a public servant, was shot by a member of the public while performing their job," Presiding Judge Jalilah Otto said in a statement obtained by the AP. "Our hearts are heavy and our thoughts are with our employee, our entire Court family, and the Independence Police Department."
A suspect is believed to be in custody, according to KMBC.
Information about what led up to the shooting will not be released immediately, Independence Police Department spokesperson Officer Jack Taylor said, according to the AP.

ExxonMobil faces dozens of lawsuits from states and localities alleging the company lied for decades about its role in climate change and the dangers of burning fossil fuels. But now, ExxonMobil is going on the offensive with a lawsuit targeting investors who want the company to slash pollution that's raising global temperatures.
Investors in publicly-traded companies like ExxonMobil try to shape corporate policies by filing shareholder proposals that are voted on at annual meetings. ExxonMobil says it's fed up with a pair of investor groups that it claims are abusing the system by filing similar proposals year after year in an effort to micromanage its business.
ExxonMobil's lawsuit points to growing tensions between companies and activist investors calling for corporations to do more to shrink their climate impact and prepare for a hotter world. Interest groups on both sides of the case say it could unleash a wave of corporate litigation against climate activists. It is happening at a time when global temperatures continue to rise, and corporate analysts say most companies aren't on track to meet targets they set to reduce their heat-trapping emissions.
"Exxon is really upping the ante here in a big way by bringing this case," says Josh Zinner, chief executive of an investor coalition called the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility, whose members include a defendant in the ExxonMobil case. "Other companies could use this tactic not just to block resolutions," Zinner says, "but to intimidate their shareholders from even bringing these [climate] issues to the table."
ExxonMobil said in an email that it is suing the investor groups Arjuna Capital and Follow This because the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) isn't enforcing rules governing when investors can resubmit shareholder proposals. A court is the "the right place to get clarity on SEC rules," ExxonMobil said, adding that the case "is not about climate change."
Other corporations are watching ExxonMobil's case, says Charles Crain, a vice president at the National Association of Manufacturers, which represents ExxonMobil and other industrial companies.
"If companies are decreasingly able to get the SEC to allow them to exclude proposals that are obviously politically motivated, then the next question is, well, can the courts succeed where the SEC has failed — or, more accurately, not even tried?," Crain says.
Activists push companies for more aggressive climate strategies
The shareholder proposal from Arjuna and Follow This called for ExxonMobil to cut emissions faster from its own operations and from its supply chain, including the pollution that's created when customers burn its oil and natural gas. That indirect pollution, known as Scope 3 emissions, accounts for 90% of ExxonMobil's carbon footprint, according to Arjuna and Follow This. The proposal is similar to others that the investor groups submitted to ExxonMobil in recent years and which ExxonMobil says received scant support from other shareholders.
After ExxonMobil sued the groups in federal court in Texas in January, Arjuna and Follow This withdrew the proposal and promised not to submit it to ExxonMobil again. But ExxonMobil refuses to drop its case.
Arjuna declined to comment. The firm said in a court filing that ExxonMobil''s climate targets aren't as ambitious as those of other big oil and gas companies, and that its shareholder proposal was meant to "foster better investment outcomes by addressing the material threat that climate change poses" to the company.
Mark van Baal, founder of Follow This, said in a statement that ExxonMobil is trying to stifle shareholders.
"Apparently, Exxon does not want shareholders to vote on whether the company should accelerate its efforts to reduce emissions," van Baal said. "This is the concern of more and more investors who want [to] safeguard the long-term future of the company and the global economy in view of the climate crisis."
Companies are offering more transparency on climate, but activists say they need to see action
Last year was the hottest ever recorded on Earth, and the effects were devastating. Rising temperatures are driving more extreme weather, from heat waves to floods and droughts. And scientists say the impacts will only get worse because humans keep putting more greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere, mainly from burning fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas.
Thousands of peoples' lives are disrupted or harmed by extreme weather, and the economic costs are enormous. Weather disasters in the United States last year inflicted at least $92.9 billion in damages, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
"What we've seen, unfortunately, is that even in the face of disclosure and more transparency from these companies, not much has actually changed from a strategy perspective," says Kevin Chuah, an assistant professor at Northeastern University's D'Amore-McKim School of Business.
The impact of rising temperatures has also led states and municipalities to sue ExxonMobil and other oil and gas companies for the threats that their communities are facing, and the industry's alleged efforts to muddy the public's understanding of climate science. The latest lawsuits were filed by the city of Chicago and the state of California.
Critics say ExxonMobil's lawsuit is part of a broader effort to limit investor activism
Activist investors like Arjuna and Follow This use shareholder proposals to push corporations to go further on climate. But they've struggled in recent years to get support from broader groups of shareholders. Experts say investors are hesitant to back new climate proposals when companies already have policies to disclose and cut emissions. And they say investors worry that proposals have gotten too prescriptive and might interfere with how companies are run.
"I think these are financially material issues," says Chuah of Northeastern University. "And therefore many investors are bringing these concerns up."
ExxonMobil says it is committed to cutting emissions from its operations. But the idea that activist investors like Arjuna and Follow This can quickly push the company out of the oil and gas business with new climate policies is "simplistic and against the interests of the vast majority of ExxonMobil shareholders," the company said in a court filing in Texas.
ExxonMobil said in a statement to NPR that while shareholders are entitled to submit proposals to the company, they don't have "an unlimited right to put forth any proposal to do anything."
"Their intent is to advance their agenda rather than creating long-term value for shareholders," ExxonMobil said of Arjuna and Follow This.
Parts of corporate America have grown frustrated with the shareholder proposal process since the SEC issued guidance in 2021 that made it harder for companies to turn away some resolutions. The SEC specifically cited shareholder proposals that ask companies to set targets and timeframes to address climate change, saying it would no longer view those kinds of resolutions as inappropriate as long as companies are free to decide how to meet the goals.
The National Association of Manufacturers has argued that forcing companies to publish shareholder proposals that deal with "contentious issues unrelated to [their] core business or the creation of shareholder value," including climate change, violates their First Amendment right of free speech. And Republicans in Congress introduced legislation last year that would allow companies to reject shareholder proposals concerning environmental, social or political issues.
"Certainly, there are material climate-related topics that are going to be relevant for a company considering its growth into the future," Crain says. But he says activists too often pursue a "political goal" rather than try to help companies "understand and mitigate those climate related risks or opportunities for their operations."
Crain declined to discuss individual companies or shareholder proposals, and he says there isn't an objective way to determine when a shareholder proposal is politically motivated.
ExxonMobil's critics say its lawsuit is part of a broader effort to curtail shareholder activism, especially around social and environmental issues. "And the reason is because it's one of the few effective avenues left to hold companies accountable," says Zinner of the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility.

"Life happens, but coffee helps."
That's the simple message that Londonderry, New Hampshire, police shared on their Facebook page on Wednesday after an SUV tipped over on its side in a Dunkin' drive-thru lane.
No one was injured in the Wednesday morning crash at the All Town gas station, the department said.
The Londonderry Fire Department told The Eagle-Tribune that the incident occurred around 7:30 a.m. The driver was checked out at the scene but did not require medical attention.
Commenters (over 200 in all) had a field day with the photos, cracking jokes at the driver's expense.
"The drive thru is not big enough," Carlos Gomez remarked.
U.S. & World
"They must have taken it too hard on the corner!" said Nikki Jarek.
Others wondered how the bizarre accident could have even happened in such tight quarters.
"How the heck?" said Jackie Keating.
"yikes, how on earth did they manage that?" added Johanne Petterson Tournas.
"SOmeone had to have seen this happen that can fill us in... I can't tink of any way this happened," said Joelene Arnold.
Commenter Tamara Jo said she thinks she spotted the culprit, a yellow post sticking out of the ground that it appears the vehicle might have run into, forcing the car onto its side.
It appears she was correct, as firefighters told The Eagle-Tribune that the SUV apparently drove up onto a concrete-filled metal pipe and tipped over.
For everyone else who needed their caffeine fix on Wednesday, service at the Dunkin' drive-thru was only temporarily disrupted while the vehicle was removed. | <urn:uuid:9cfe19ba-b922-433f-8cf7-dd1dca5d59f0> | {

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has agreed to decide whether former President Donald Trump can be prosecuted on charges he interfered with the 2020 election.
The court will hear arguments in April, with a decision likely no later than the end of June.
The justices' order Wednesday maintains a hold on preparations for a trial focused on Trump's efforts to overturn his election loss.
The timetable is much faster than usual, but assuming the justices deny Trump's immunity bid, it's not clear whether a trial can be scheduled and concluded prior to the November election.
Early voting in some states will begin in September.
Trump's lawyers have sought to put off a trial until after the election. | <urn:uuid:6b179cd7-697e-48ea-9551-63fb45a017c0> | {

TORONTO (AP) — Former prime minister Brian Mulroney is dead at the age of 84. His daughter Caroline confirmed it in a social media post Thursday. The country's 18th prime minister died peacefully and surrounded by family, she said in a post on X, formerly known as twitter. Mulroney's family says last summer he was improving daily after a heart procedure that followed treatment for prostate cancer in early 2023. Mulroney, who headed the Progressive Conservative party, soared to the largest majority mandate in history when he was elected in 1984. | <urn:uuid:7ba3ee2a-fa35-4853-b5e5-0452ee4e997d> | {

Jack Teixeira, the Massachusetts Air National Guard member accused of leaking highly classified military documents on a social media platform, is expected to plead guilty in his federal case, according to court papers filed Thursday.
Prosecutors asked the judge to schedule a change of plea hearing for Monday, but no other details were immediately available. Teixeira had previously pleaded not guilty.
Teixeira was indicted on six counts of willful retention and transmission of national defense information. Each count is punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
The Massachusetts U.S. attorney's office declined further comment. An attorney for Teixeira didn't immediately return a phone message Thursday.
Teixeira, of North Dighton, Massachusetts, has been behind bars since his April arrest for a leak that left the Biden administration scrambling to assess and contain the damage among the international community and reassure allies that its secrets are safe with the U.S.
He was accused of sharing classified military documents about Russia's war in Ukraine and other sensitive national security topics on Discord, a social media platform popular with people who play online games. Investigators believe he led a private chat group called Thug Shaker Central, where enthusiasts shared jokes, talked about their favorite types of guns and discussed wars, including Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Authorities say Teixeira, who enlisted in the Air National Guard in 2019, began around January 2023 sharing military secrets with other Discord users — first by typing out classified documents and then sharing photographs of files that bore SECRET and TOP SECRET markings. Teixeira worked as a "cyber transport systems specialist," essentially an IT specialist responsible for military communications networks.
Authorities have said that Teixeira was detected on April 6 — the day The New York Times first published a story about the breach of documents — searching for the word "leak" in a classified system. The FBI says that was reason to believe Teixeira was trying to find information about the investigation into who was responsible for the leaks.
Prosecutors say he continued to leak government secrets even after he was warned by superiors about mishandling and improper viewing of classified information. After being admonished by superiors, he was again seen viewing information not related to the intelligence field, not his primary duty, according to internal Air National Guard memos filed in court.
Authorities have provided few details about an alleged possible motive, but accounts of those in the online private chat group where the documents were disclosed have depicted Teixeira as motivated more by bravado than ideology.
Prosecutors had urged the judge to keep Teixeira jailed while the case played, in part because of an arsenal of weapons found at his home and his history of disturbing online statements. They included one social media post saying that, if he had his way, he would like to kill a "ton of people" because it would be "culling the weak minded."
U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani last year denied Teixeira's bid for release, saying "No set of release conditions will reasonably assure the safety of the community, or prevent destruction of evidence."
In pressing for their client to be freed from jail, Teixeira's attorneys pointed to the pretrial release of former President Donald Trump and others in high-profile classified documents cases. Teixeira's lawyers noted that prosecutors did not seek to detain Trump — or his co-defendant, Walt Nauta — even though they said the former president and his valet "possess extraordinary means to flee the United States." | <urn:uuid:9ccaf0ef-ee97-42d7-a10e-a7c0cf19bce9> | {

South Carolina, Ohio State, Stanford and UCLA would be the No. 1 seeds in the NCAA Tournament if it began now.
The NCAA women's basketball selection committee on Thursday did its second reveal of the teams in line for the top 16 seeds. A lot has changed in the two weeks since the initial unveiling, outside of South Carolina and Ohio State's dominance. Of the original top 16 seeds, 11 lost at least one game.
"That's a testament to where college basketball is right now, it's difficult night in and night out," NCAA women's basketball selection committee chair Lisa Peterson told The Associated Press in a phone interview Thursday. "That hasn't always been the case."
Peterson said that South Carolina and Ohio State have had really strong seasons and that there was a lot of discussion of the final two No. 1 seeds.
"Stanford was a little more secure than the others because of their body of work," she said. "They lost to Arizona, but Cameron Brink was out. The last No. 1 had a lot of conversations considering that Virginia Tech has been playing so great right now. UCLA had such a tough schedule and they have (Lauren) Betts back."
Just outside the top four teams was Caitlin Clark and Iowa, which is ranked No. 6 in the AP poll. The Hawkeyes, last year's national runners-up, were once again projected as a No. 2 seed. They play at home against Ohio State on Sunday.
The top 16 seeds will host first- and second-round games, with the regional rounds being played at two neutral sites for the second straight year. Portland, Oregon, will host half of the Sweet 16, and Albany, New York, will host the other eight teams.
South Carolina and Ohio State were projected as the top seeds in the Albany Regional, with Stanford and UCLA in Portland. The unbeaten Gamecocks were the overall No. 1 seed.
Joining the Gamecocks in their bracket were No. 2 Iowa, No. 3 Oregon State and No. 4 Oklahoma.
Peterson said Iowa was switched with USC to ensure that the bracketing principle of keeping the top four teams in a conference in different regions was protected.
The Pac-12 had five of the top 16 seeds.
The Buckeyes would have No. 2 seed Southern Cal, No. 3 LSU and No. 4 Colorado. The Buffaloes were a No. 1 seed in the initial review.
The other top teams in Stanford's region were No. 2 Texas, No. 3 N.C. State and No. 4 Indiana. UCLA would be joined by Virginia Tech, UConn and Gonzaga.
Teams just outside the top 16 included Kansas State, Notre Dame, Syracuse and Utah.
The Final Four will be played in Cleveland on April 5, and the NCAA championship game is two days later.
The NCAA has been doing in-season reveals since 2015 to give teams an early idea of where they could be come selection night. Thursday's reveal did not factor in the games scheduled for later that night. The NCAA will unveil the tournament bracket on March 17.

- READ MORE: Abbie Chatfield shows off her incredible figure in a micro dress as she kicks off filming for second season of FBoy Island
Abbie Chatfield put her toned physique on full display as she posed up a storm for a series of racy bikini snaps.
The television host, 28, took to Instagram on Friday to share an array of eye-popping bikini snaps with her 475,000 followers.
She showed off her incredible figure in a skimpy pink houndstooth print two-piece as she posed up a storm on a balcony amid the balmy climes.
Abbie swept her brunette locks beneath a distressed denim baseball cap and showed off her natural beauty in the snaps.
Earlier this week, Abbie kicked off filming for the upcoming second season of FBoy Island on a Mid North Coast beach.
Abbie Chatfield put her toned physique on full display as she posed up a storm for a series of racy bikini snaps
Abbie is returning to host the second instalment on the reality dating show after first fronting the programme when it debuted on Foxtel/Binge last May.
The ten-part reality series centred on three women attempting to find love among 24 suitors, but the twist was that half of them were 'f**k boys'.
In July, Abbie shared a cheeky post demanding a second season of the show which met with a positive response from fans.
'@fboyislandaustralia better come back for S2. I wanna play FBOY detective again. Just not in my own life,' she wrote in the caption.
There were later rumours that FBoy Island was facing the axe when it was absent from the streaming giants' Upfronts, but it is now going ahead.

Elsewhere, Abbie recently made her feelings clear on another reality TV show as she took to Instagram to fume over one Married At First Sight contestant.
Abbie called for Married At First Sight star Jack Dunkley to be kicked off the show following his vile 'misogynistic' outburst.
The reality show 'villain', 34, sparked outrage in a recent episode when he told Jonathan McCullough to 'muzzle' his wife Lauren Dunn in a fierce clash.
His 'sexist' comment came after Lauren, 32, confronted him over saying he would give another groom 'permission' to sleep with his wife Tori Adams 'because he isn't attracted to her'.

After watching the scenes, Abbie, 28, took to her Instagram Stories to rant about his behaviour and called for him to be kicked off the show by the dating experts.
Looking enraged in a selfie, Abbie fumed: 'Is this Jack c*** f**kn serious?????? Watching MAFS with mum for the first time this season and who is this loser?'
'I wish I was there when he said "put a muzzle on your woman" can you f**king imagine?' she went on. 'As well as offering his wife up??? Sick freak!!!'
In a video, she then declared: 'This man should be kicked off the show!'
Her reaction came after the reality show 'villain', 34, sparked outrage in a recent episode when he told Jonathan McCullough to 'muzzle' his wife Lauren Dunn in a fierce clash
She added: 'Wow what a revolting pig in every way,' and admitted she was not impressed by his defence that he was just 'joking'.
Abbie also criticised the other grooms for not backing Lauren up, after even her husband Jono backed down as Jack refused to admit the full truth about what he had said behind Tori's back.
'You weak f**king rats. All of you. Not one man backed her up,' Abbie seethed.
'Sorry you don't get points saying you only stand up for women when they are close to you.' | <urn:uuid:61f165b5-9c6b-4ea7-bf01-023e988a0721> | {

Federal prosecutors are asking for former President Donald Trump's classified documents to start on July 8.
Trump's attorneys and special counsel Jack Smith are asking for the trial in the classified documents case to be pushed, CNN reported.
Trump's attorney proposed August 12 as an alternative date, according to The Associated Press. Smith proposed July 8.
The August 12 date happens to come weeks after the Republican National Convention, the AP reported.
"As the leading candidate in the 2024 election, President Trump strongly asserts that a fair trial cannot be conducted this year in a manner consistent with the Constitution, which affords President Trump a Sixth Amendment right to be present and to participate in these proceedings as well as...a First Amendment right that he shares with the American people to engage in campaign speech," defense lawyers wrote, according to the AP.
The trial was previously scheduled to start in May. According to Reuters, District Judge Aileen Cannon is expected to address the trial date at a hearing Friday.
Trump faces dozens of charges related to his handling of classified documents. Also charged are his aide, Walt Nauta, and Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos De Oliveria.
The case involves 1.3 million pages of unclassified discovery, about 60 terabytes of closed-circuit television footage spanning at least nine months and 5,500 pages of classified discovery, court records show.
The United States Supreme Court agreed on Wednesday to hear arguments to see if Trump gets presidential immunity in the election interference case which could impact the classified documents case as well, according to CNN reported.
Trump has several other criminal cases and the schedule for those remains unclear, according to CNN.

Jack Teixeira, the Massachusetts Air National Guard member accused of leaking highly classified military documents on a social media platform, is expected to plead guilty in his federal case, according to court papers filed Thursday.
Prosecutors asked the judge to schedule a change of plea hearing for Monday, but no other details were immediately available. Teixeira had previously pleaded not guilty.
Teixeira was indicted on six counts of willful retention and transmission of national defense information. Each count is punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
The Massachusetts U.S. attorney's office declined further comment. An attorney for Teixeira didn't immediately return a phone message Thursday.
Teixeira, of North Dighton, Massachusetts, has been behind bars since his April arrest for a leak that left the Biden administration scrambling to assess and contain the damage among the international community and reassure allies that its secrets are safe with the U.S.
He was accused of sharing classified military documents about Russia's war in Ukraine and other sensitive national security topics on Discord, a social media platform popular with people who play online games. Investigators believe he led a private chat group called Thug Shaker Central, where enthusiasts shared jokes, talked about their favorite types of guns and discussed wars, including Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Authorities say Teixeira, who enlisted in the Air National Guard in 2019, began around January 2023 sharing military secrets with other Discord users — first by typing out classified documents and then sharing photographs of files that bore SECRET and TOP SECRET markings. Teixeira worked as a "cyber transport systems specialist," essentially an IT specialist responsible for military communications networks.
Authorities have said that Teixeira was detected on April 6 — the day The New York Times first published a story about the breach of documents — searching for the word "leak" in a classified system. The FBI says that was reason to believe Teixeira was trying to find information about the investigation into who was responsible for the leaks.
Prosecutors say he continued to leak government secrets even after he was warned by superiors about mishandling and improper viewing of classified information. After being admonished by superiors, he was again seen viewing information not related to the intelligence field, not his primary duty, according to internal Air National Guard memos filed in court.
Authorities have provided few details about an alleged possible motive, but accounts of those in the online private chat group where the documents were disclosed have depicted Teixeira as motivated more by bravado than ideology.
Prosecutors had urged the judge to keep Teixeira jailed while the case played, in part because of an arsenal of weapons found at his home and his history of disturbing online statements. They included one social media post saying that, if he had his way, he would like to kill a "ton of people" because it would be "culling the weak minded."
U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani last year denied Teixeira's bid for release, saying "No set of release conditions will reasonably assure the safety of the community, or prevent destruction of evidence."
In pressing for their client to be freed from jail, Teixeira's attorneys pointed to the pretrial release of former President Donald Trump and others in high-profile classified documents cases.

WASHINGTON - A federal ban on bump stocks previously imposed by former President Donald Trump is heading to the U.S. Supreme Court, which heard arguments on Wednesday in a case that tests the limits of government gun regulation.
What are bump stocks?
Bump stocks are accessories that replace a rifle's stock and get pressed against the shoulder.
A rifle fitted with the accessory uses the gun's recoil energy to rapidly and repeatedly bump the trigger, allowing the user to fire dozens of bullets in seconds, similar to an automatic weapon.
Bump stocks were invented in the early 2000s after a 1994 ban targeting assault weapons expired.
In 2010, the federal government approved the sale of bump stocks after the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Explosives said weapons equipped with the accessory don't constitute an illegal machine gun under federal law.
Since then, more than 520,000 bump stocks have been in circulation by the time the Trump administration issued a ban on them in 2019.
A bump stock device (left) that fits on a semi-automatic rifle to increase the firing speed, making it similar to a fully automatic rifle, is installed on a AK-47 semi-automatic rifle, (right) at a gun store on October 5, 2017 in Salt Lake City, Utah
Why were bump stocks banned?
It happened after the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history, when a gunman opened fire on a crowd of 22,000 people attending a country music festival in Las Vegas on Oct. 1, 2017.
Sixty people died and more than 850 were injured.
The gunman, later identified as 64-year-old Stephen Paddock, killed himself when authorities found his hotel room. He had 23 assault-style rifles including 14 weapons fitted with bump stocks.
After the deadly massacre, the ATF reconsidered the legality surrounding bump stocks and Trump ordered a ban on the devices, arguing they turned legal rifles into illegal machine guns.
What you need to know about the case
The Supreme Court took up the case after lower federal courts delivered conflicting rulings on whether the ATF could ban bump stocks.
The ban survived challenges before the Cincinnati-based 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, the Denver-based 10th Circuit, and the federal circuit court in Washington.
But the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals based in New Orleans struck down the bump stock ban when it ruled in the Texas case last year. The court's majority in the 13-3 decision found that "a plain reading of the statutory language" showed that weapons fitted with bump stocks could not be regulated as machine guns.

PARIS (AP) — French actor Judith Godrèche is urging lawmakers to establish a commission to investigate sex crimes and sexism in France's cinema industry. Godrèche gave a dramatic speech at France's version of the Oscars last week calling on the French film world to "face the truth" about the issue. She is leading a push for a reckoning about sexual violence and related misconduct in France, where many have been skeptical toward the MeToo movement that shook up Hollywood in 2017. Godreche lived in Hollywood. She spoke to a French Senate commission on Thursday, and laid out proposals to address past abuses and prevent new ones. | <urn:uuid:db5494df-d94a-42dd-bcce-d0cf23076ad4> | {

OWA CITY, Iowa — Iowa women's basketball star Caitlin Clark has announced that this season with the team will be her last as she plans to enter the WNBA Draft.
Clark has scored the most points by any major college woman's player ever on Wednesday, according to KCRG. She scored 33 points which helped her to pass Lynette Woodward, The Associated Press reported.
Clark had already broken the NCAA women's basketball career scoring record on Feb. 15 against Michigan when she poured in a school-record 49 points. That effort moved Clark, a senior, past University of Washington star Kelsey Plum's total of 3,527 points.
Clark is expected to be the number one pick for the WNBA by Indiana Fever, according to ESPN. On Wednesday, she broke a major women's college basketball scoring record by making 33 points.
Clark now has 2,650 points, ESPN reported.

JAKARTA, Feb 28 (Reuters) - In the afternoon sun, dozens of Indonesians, mostly women, gather in a snaking queue to buy bags of subsidised rice, their arms poking through a metal gate to grab tickets assuring them a spot to make a purchase.
The temporary bazaar run by state food procurement agency Bulog in the city of Bekasi, 25 km (15.5 miles) east of the capital Jakarta highlights the struggle of Indonesia's less fortunate to buy the grain that is at the centre of nearly every meal in Southeast Asia's most populous country.
A staple for most of Indonesia's 270 million people, the price of rice has climbed more than 16% since last year, as the El Nino weather phenomenon has cut rainfall across large parts of Asia in 2023, reducing cereal output and sparking food inflation pressure for some of the world's most price-sensitive consumers.
Masih, a 55-year-old coconut vendor, was among those jostling to buy a 5 kg (11 pound) bag of rice.
"It's better to queue up and have the rice at home. It is expensive in the market, so better to get it cheap here," she told Reuters.
Rice prices at the bazaar are capped at 10,600 rupiah (67.8 U.S. cents) per kg, compared with 14,300 rupiah in the open market. Bulog limits sales to 10 kg per customer to prevent hoarding.
The government typically steps in to sell food products at subsidised prices when prices climb.
($1 = 15,630.0000 rupiah)

WWE confirmed the news Wednesday of the wrestler's passing. No cause of death was revealed.
"WWE is saddened to learn that Michael Jones, known to WWE fans as Virgil, has passed away," the professional wrestling organization wrote on X, formerly Twitter, on Feb. 28. "WWE extends its condolences to Jones' family, friends and fans."
Mark Charles III, a former professional wrestling referee, first announced Jones' death Wednesday morning.
"My dear friends, it is with great sorrow that I bring news from the Jones family of the passing of our beloved Michael Jones, whom we know and loved as Virgil, Vincent, Soul Train Jones and more," he wrote. "Virgil passed peacefully at the hospital this morning and I ask that you pray for him and for his family. May his memory be eternal!""
According to TMZ, Virgil had been dealing with numerous health issues in recent years including a diagnosis of dementia in 2022 and multiple strokes.

Jones worked for WWE in the late 80s and 90s where he was primarily known as the bodyguard for "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase.
Virgil eventually became a fan favorite and beat DiBiase for the Million Dollar Championship at SummerSlam 1991.
During his career, he worked with notable celebrities, including Hulk Hogan before his departure in 1999.
Jones retired from active competition in 2000 but continued to make appearances. His last televised wrestling appearance was a cameo on the April 29, 2020 episode of AEW Dynamite.

Associated Press
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Heavy gunfire has paralyzed Haiti's capital as a powerful gang leader announced he will try to capture the country's police chief and government ministers. The move comes with the prime minister in Kenya looking to finalize details for the deployment of a foreign armed force to help combat Haiti's criminal gangs. Gunmen shot at the country's main international airport and other targets in a wave of violence Thursday that caught many by surprise. Jimmy Chérizier is leader of the gang federation G9 Family and Allies and says his aim is to tie up the police chief and government ministers and prevent Henry from returning to Haiti. It is not clear if Chérizier has the backing of other gang leaders. | <urn:uuid:9fadb723-e94b-485d-940a-2d0942885bbe> | {

AMES — Koch Industries has announced a $3.6 billion deal to buy a fertilizer plant in southeast Iowa, and some ag leaders fear it could create a monopoly. The purchase of the Iowa Fertilizer Company in Lee County still awaits federal review. Democrats in the Iowa statehouse also have questions about the acquisition. They want federal and state regulators to investigate the impact consolidation would have on prices and the 260 employees of the facility in Wever.
Iowa State University economics professor Chad Hart says four of the top producers control 80% of fertilizer production. Hart says, "I think that always puts up what's called yellow caution lights within the sector about, okay, are we truly maintaining the competitive balance there or not?" Hart says the war in Ukraine led to major swings in fertilizer pricing.
A USDA spokesperson says when dominant middlemen control so much of the fertilizer supply chain, producers, and consumers "bear the brunt." | <urn:uuid:f4f01591-f89b-4a7b-a340-6f02c83be727> | {

Will the timing of the Supreme Court's Trump case mean no trial before the election?
The Supreme Court's decision to hearformer President Trump's immunity claim, and the timing of it, have enormous consequences--not just for Trump, but for the American political system, and for the court itself.
Nobody really knows what's going on behind the scenes at the Supreme Court. But there are hints, as well as questions. Among the questions are these: Why did the court decline special counsel Jack Smith's request to hear the immunity case in December, but agree to hear Trump's appeal now? And why, when Trump appealed, did the court take more than two weeks to say it would hear his case, and then set a briefing schedule that all but ensures that Trump will either face trial during the presidential campaign or possibly not face trial at all.
The court's timing
"Surely the court was aware that timing is everything here," says UCLA law professor Richard Hasen. "And the fact that they set this for the last week of the term when they're going to be the busiest that they are going to be all year...it looks like they recognize that this trial may well not happen before the election."
The court could have moved faster. It has historically done that in other big cases with political ramification. Indeed, in Bush v. Gore the court decided the 2000 electionin three days. And in the Watergate tapes case, the court ruled against President Nixon 16 days after oral argument.
What makes this term different is that there are a dozen huge non-Trump-related landmine cases that are pending, several to be argued in April, and none yet decided.
Given that, University of Texas law professor Stephen Vladeck says he thinks that the schedule the court set out Wednesday is pretty speedy. And he thinks the court could deliver an opinion in the Trump immunity case by the end of May. A hint of that is what he calls the "weird language" in the court's order yesterday, language that suggests the lower courts could proceed to trial faster than usual if the Supreme Court rules against the former president.
Kavanaugh's likely role
Both Hasen and Vladeck agree on one thing—the pivotal role that likely has been played and will be played in this case by Justice Brett Kavanaugh. While other members of the court have served in the executive branch, Kavanaugh is the justice who has worked most closely with a president. He was staff secretary to George W. Bush and worked with him on a daily basis.
As Vladeck observes, Kavanaugh "has a uniquely pro-executive perspective, not just having been in the White House, but having been in that White House at a period of time when the White House was claiming as much power as we've ever seen a White House claim."
Most defenders of executive power believe that the president, and presumably a former president, is entitled to a hearing at the Supreme Court in any non-frivolous case that that involves him personally.
Trump, of course, is a former president, and it's hard to find a scholar who believes that he has total immunity now that he is out of office.
"Even an executive power person like Justice Kavanaugh surely doesn't believe that a president could order SEAL Team Six to assassinate political rivals without facing potential criminal consequences," says Hasen.
The forever shield from criminal prosecution that Trump is advocating would allow just such immunity. His lawyers conceded the point in the lower court.
"The problem that President Trump is going to run into at the end of the day is even the most generous reading of a line between official and non-official acts puts at least much of the January 6th indictment on the non-official side of the line," says Vladeck. "I don't see any universe where the court would say he has immunity for all of it."
The hitch, says Vladeck, is that if the court delivers that kind of a "mixed decision," how much does that "throw a wrench in the trial clock?"
The other Trump cases
When and how the Supreme Court decides the Trump case will undoubtedly affect other Trump cases awaiting trial. The election interference case in Georgia almost certainly will not take place before the election. But when and if it takes places, Vladeck notes that "there is nothing about being president that requires you to call the secretary of state of Georgia and ask him to fine 11,000 more votes."
That is "even more true" in the Mar-a-Lago case, he says, because the charges involve allegations that the former president illegally removed classified documents from the White House and then obstructed government efforts to get them back--charges that only involve Trump's conduct after he left the White House.
And finally there is the New York case charging Trump with paying hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels in 2016, also at a time when Trump was not president, though the allegation is that he was trying to hide his sexual liaison.
Even though the stakes are "the most trivial," in the New York case, Hasen observes, the trial is not in doubt. Jury selection is set to begin March 25, and Hasen says that some of the district attorney's theories under New York law "are more plausible than I first thought in terms of... this being a felony."

SEATTLE - Osvaldo Alonso was never a star in the traditional sense despite being one of the most feared players in Major League Soccer during his 15-year career.
A four-time MLS All-Star and Seattle's all-time leader in appearances during the MLS era, Osvaldo retired Thursday after signing a ceremonial one-day contract with the Sounders.
Nicknamed "The Honey Badger" for his aggressive style of play, Alonso was one of the top defensive midfielders during his career even though he rarely scored goals. Alonso spent 10 seasons in Seattle and was one of the original team members when the Sounders joined MLS as an expansion franchise in 2009.
"I feel grateful for all of the love that I've received throughout my career with the Sounders. For me this is the club I belong to," Alonso said. "So it's always important for me not only to come here but to retire as a Sounder."
Alonso appeared in 339 games with the Sounders and played a key role in winning six major trophies during his tenure in Seattle. Most notable was 2016, when Seattle was at the bottom of the Western Conference standings in the middle of the summer and the team underwent a coaching change.
After Brian Schmetzer took over as the interim head coach, one of his first moves was installing Alonso as the captain. The Sounders went on to cap that season by winning the first of its two MLS Cup titles.
"Team needed something so I made him captain right away. Why did I do that? Because I had respect and respect for who he was, how he played. I knew he could lead by example," Schmetzer said.
Alonso also played for Minnesota United and Atlanta United after his departure from Seattle following the 2018 season. He missed most of the 2022 season after suffering a torn ACL, but returned to appear in seven games last season.
Alonso's professional career started in 2008 with the Charleston Battery in the USL after he defected from Cuba. He joined the Sounders the following year for their inaugural season.
"To do what I did was amazing for me. I'm very proud," Alonso said. | <urn:uuid:694d29ea-48e2-487d-937f-eb3f666ec826> | {

Biden and Trump were both at the border today, staking out ground on a key 2024 issue
Updated February 29, 2024 at 5:57 PM ET
President Biden squared off against former President Donald Trump on Thursday on one of the issues expected to dominate the 2024 presidential election: immigration.
Both Biden and Trump visited two Texas border communities a few hundred miles apart that have been grappling with large numbers of migrants seeking asylum. Biden went to Brownsville, and Trump to Eagle Pass.
The trip was heavy on symbolism and short on new ideas to tackle the issue. Trump sought to paint a picture of uncontrolled crime and violence, which he blamed on Biden — while Biden sought to show he had agreed to a get-tough bill, blaming Trump and his Republican allies in Congress for blocking it.
It's only the second time during his presidency that Biden has been to the border. The trip comes as Biden goes on the offensive, trying to turn the tables on an issue that has been a liability for him.
Only 29% of respondents in a recent NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist pollsaid they approve of the way Biden is handling immigration.
Biden is trying to flip the script on this issue
Biden met with Border Patrol agents and local leaders in Brownsville as he blamed House Republicans for failing to pass border funding and policy changes that the community has been seeking.
Biden has said Trump saw a political advantage for his party to block bipartisan legislation that would have tightened rules for asylum, expanded detention facilities and provided more money to hire more border agents. Had the legislation passed, it would have helped Biden show he was willing to get tough on the issue.
On Thursday, he urged Republicans to revive the package, and wrapped up his remarks by inviting Trump to work with him — something that is highly unlikely to happen in this election year.
"We can do it together. You know — and I know — it's the toughest, most efficient, most effective border security bill this country has ever seen. So instead of playing politics with the issue, why don't we just get together and get it done?" Biden said.
Trump sees the border as a winning issue for him
Trump — the front-runner in the race to be the Republican nominee in November — announced his trip to the border first. His team said Biden had chased him to the border and said that strategy would backfire.
Trump went to Eagle Pass, a community where the state government has been trying to play a bigger role in enforcement, and highlighted recent crimes committed by migrants in major cities.
Trump blamed Biden for the death of a 22-year-old nursing student in Georgia. An undocumented Venezuelan immigrant has been arrested for the crime.
"I spoke to her parents yesterday. They're incredible people. They're devastated beyond belief. But she was beautiful, just so beautiful in so many ways. And brutally assaulted, horrifically beaten," Trump said.
Biden's campaign said Trump was fear mongering and said that violent crime had fallen during Biden's time in office — something the White House highlighted with police chiefs the day before the border visit.
"All he cares about is stirring up hate, stirring up division ... going even further than the extremism that we saw when he last held power," said Michael Tyler, a Biden spokesperson.
The stakes for both leaders are high
Polls show a majority of Americans trust Republicans more than Democrats on securing the border.
A new Monmouth University poll found that 53% of respondents support building a border wall, the first time a majority of Americans have backed the proposal since Trump launched his first presidential campaign.
As he did in his first run for office, Trump has made border security a central theme for 2024. He has promised to launch the largest domestic deportation operation in American history if elected.
Democrats saw an opening in a New York special election
But Democrats see an opportunity to counter a prevailing narrative that they are soft on border security while Republicans are viewed as hawkish.
House Democrat Tom Suozzi won his special election in New York earlier this month by campaigning hard on Republicans spoiling the bipartisan border bill.
Evan Roth Smith, a Democratic pollster for the political strategy group, Blueprint, said that showed it's possible for Democrats to paint Republicans as "unserious about border security."
He said it's not unlike the opportunity Democrats seized to effectively campaign against Republicans after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
"We now have proof-positive in this latest election that Republicans are out over their skis again on immigration. They don't know what to do," Roth Smith said. "And they've handed Democrats something they can run on for months or maybe years."

Attorneys representing former President Donald Trump have filed an appeal after an Illinois circuit court judge ruled that his name should be removed from the state's primary ballot because of violations of the "insurrection clause" in the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
The ruling, issued by Circuit Court Judge Tracie Porter on Wednesday, agreed with arguments made by Colorado's Supreme Court when it kicked Trump off the ballot in that state.
Porter's ruling followed a determination by Illinois' State Board of Elections in January that Trump's name should remain on the ballot, but also recommended that a court make the ultimate decision in the case.
Trump's attorneys filed two separate motions in the case, including an appeal of the ruling. They have asked the Illinois Appellate Court to reverse Porter's decision and to reinstate the Board of Elections' ruling in the case.
A second motion was also filed to clarify the terms of Porter's stay in the case. The ruling had been placed on hold pending the expected filing of the appeal, but Trump's attorneys are arguing that the ruling should be stayed until the appeal is decided upon, or until the U.S. Supreme Court makes a ruling in a similar case in Colorado.
Porter issued a revised ruling on Thursday, saying that the decision would be put on hold until a decision is reached by the Appellate Court.
That Colorado case, in which Trump's name was removed from that state's primary ballot on the same grounds, is pending before the U.S. Supreme Court. Porter said in her ruling that the order would be put on hold if the Supreme Court's ruling was "inconsistent" with hers.
U.S. & World
The Illinois Republican Party issued the following statement in reaction to Porter's Wednesday ruling.
"As we've stated repeatedly, the Illinois Republican Party believes the people, not activist courts or unelected bureaucrats, should choose who represents them in the White House. This decision to remove President Trump from the ballot without due process is an affront to democracy and limits the voting rights of Illinois citizens," Illinois Republican Party Chairman Don Tracy said.
The former president's spokesperson Steven Cheung also issued a statement.
"Democrat front-groups continue to attempt to interfere in the election and deny President Trump his rightful place on the ballot," the statement read. "Today, an activist Democrat judge in Illinois summarily overruled the state's board of elections and contradicted earlier decisions from dozens of other state and federal jurisdictions. This is an unconstitutional ruling that we will quickly appeal. In the meantime, President Trump remains on the Illinois ballot, is dominating the polls, and will Make America Great Again!"
The Supreme Court heard arguments in the Colorado case in early February, and according to legal experts cited by The New York Times and other publications, there was skepticism in the arguments made to keep the former president off the ballot.
The Illinois ruling repeatedly cited findings from the Colorado case, saying that Trump's actions in the lead-up to, and on the day of Jan. 6, 2021, should be construed as insurrection, making him ineligible to hold the office of president.
Colorado's Supreme Court concluded "that because President Trump is disqualified from holding the office of president under Section Three, it would be a wrongful act under the Election Code for the secretary to list President Trump as a candidate on the presidential primary ballot."
Trump's attorneys have disputed that characterization in appeals, saying that his actions fell well short of the 14th Amendment's definition of insurrection. They cited tweets the president had sent calling for peace in Washington amid the chaos at the Capitol, but Porter dismissed those remarks as "plausible deniability" of potential crimes.
"This tweet could not possibly have had any other intended purposes besides to fan the flames. The hearing office determines that these calls to peace via social media, coming after an inflammatory tweet are the product of trying to give himself plausible deniability," the ruling read.
She argued that the Capitol riot's purpose was "the furtherance of the president's plan to disrupt the electoral count taking place before the joint meeting of Congress," and therefore qualified as insurrection under the Constitution. | <urn:uuid:50e90709-be70-4a31-b372-307add08ab39> | {

Iowa star Caitlin Clark says she will leave the Hawkeyes after this season and enter the WNBA draft. Clark made the announcement Thursday on social media. She is 18 points away from passing LSU's Pete Maravich for the all-time NCAA Division I record for men or women with 3,650 career points. She broke Lynette Woodard's major college scoring record on Wednesday. Clark is expected to be the top pick in the draft on April 15. The Indiana Fever, who have the first pick, indicated on social media shortly after Clark's announcement that they intend to select her. | <urn:uuid:765fdd3e-d394-4414-a65b-0efcad4c482f> | {

What to Know
- Jackie and Shadow are the world-famous Big Bear bald eagles; the pair can be seen on a pair of cameras, including one that's next to their nest
- Jackie laid three eggs in January 2024; the first egg will be 35 days old on Feb. 29 at 4:55 p.m.; hatching may begin at any time, though the pair's previous eggs hatch around 38 or 39 days
- A "pip" in the shells, which are tiny breaks made from the inside by the baby, may appear on the eggs in the days ahead; it may be some time before an eaglet fully emerges during "the very strenuous process"
"Three is a magic number," or so the catchy "Schoolhouse Rock" song told us.
Fans of Jackie and Shadow, the celebrated bald eagles near Big Bear Lake, are believing in the power of three as the final day of February dawns and "Pip Watch" commences in excited earnest.
What's the playfully named "Pip Watch" all about?
To the feathery duo's thousands of worldwide followers, the tender term simply and sweetly and scientifically means this: We'll be looking for tiny pips in the eagles' three eggs, those minuscule breaks in the shells that reveal that hatching is underway, over the coming days.
Jackie laid the first of her three 2024 eggs 35 days ago at 4:55 in the afternoon. What's so special about 35 days in the regal realm of eagledom?
That's about the length of time that an eagle egg incubates before a hatchling may emerge, though, of course, nature is on its own schedule.
That said, previous eggs from the duo have stayed toasty under Mom and Dad a bit longer in years gone by, with chicks beginning to emerge from viable eggs around day 38 or 39.
Will this clutch, Jackie's first successful three-egg clutch, change the trend?
People around the world are observing the sizable, stick-laden nest, an aerie that boasts a deep bowl of forest "fluff," and waiting with hope.
The "fluff," which is comprised of the organic material that the eagles have tirelessly gathered in recent weeks, makes the nest softer and more egg-ready (and chick-ready, too).
The fascinating chance to unobtrusively observe the beautiful birds is made possible by the Friends of Big Bear Valley, a nonprofit nature-focused organization that operates two eagle-focused around-the-clock cameras: One located in a tall, lake-adjacent Jeffrey pine, next to the nest frequented by Jackie and Shadow for several years, and another nearby, giving viewers a wider view of the tree and the eagles coming and going.
Supporters would love to see a feisty trio of siblings emerge, but time will soon tell us what those precious eggs hold in store.
The last baby of Jackie and Shadow was Spirit, in 2022, a charismatic youngster that grew big alongside an egg that never hatched.
What will the coming days reveal? Will there be three wobbly and wonderful babies for the busy parents to feed in a week or so? Or will there be one or two fuzzy infants eager for their next bite of fish delivered straight, and gently, from the beak of their mother or father?
It is a Leap Day, a once-every-four-years occasion that possesses a kind of magic. That Pip Watch 2024 is kicking off on Feb. 29 is giving our hopes a reason to soar, much in the way the eagles of Big Bear do so majestically, thrilling people around the planet. | <urn:uuid:4f5a14b5-b7cb-408d-b409-a2683c977014> | {

NEW YORK (AP) — Three dozen leaders at news organizations around the world are expressing solidarity with reporters doing the dangerous work of covering the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. The Committee to Protect Journalists is organizing the effort. It estimates that at least 89 journalists and media workers have been killed since the war's start last October. The vast majority of those are Palestinians. Leaders of The Associated Press, The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN and NBC News have joined. So have Reuters, the BBC and Agence France-Presse internationally. The news organizations signed a letter expressing solidarity and saying attacks on journalists are attacks on the truth. | <urn:uuid:d9830d99-5b58-43ca-a328-de8d603169e7> | {

WASHINGTON (AP) — Texas Sen. John Cornyn has informed his colleagues that he intends to run for Senate Republican leader.
He's the first senator to announce a campaign after Sen. Mitch McConnell said on Wednesday that he'll step down from the post in November.
Cornyn served as McConnell's No. 2 in leadership before he was term-limited out of the job.
Cornyn is citing his experience in that role in a statement to fellow senators announcing his run.
But he's also trying to distinguish himself from McConnell, saying, "I believe the Senate is broken — that is not news to anyone." | <urn:uuid:6acfab70-8e65-4369-96eb-88a03c4d6e1a> | {

Digital Governance Minister Dimitris Papastergiou said on Wednesday that 2024 will be a year in which procedures related to the services for citizens and businesses in their transactions with the state will be further simplified.
In statements to journalists in Barcelona during the Mobile World Congress, the minister briefly referred to the immediate plans to achieve of the goal of simplifying everyday life for the citizens.
Answering related questions, Papastergiou underlined the great progress that Greece has made as regards the digitization of the state and in creating infrastructure that is necessary to attract investments. But he stressed the need to speed up in some areas, with a focus on increasing broadband speeds.
The minister said there should be binding timetables from telecommunications providers for the expansion of fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) networks, in a bid to speed up the process of upgrading fixed-line broadband speeds.
Papastergiou said that the ministry, on its part, will undertake actions to boost demand, such as the Smart Readiness actions subsidizing work that prepares buildings for the installation of FTTH infrastructure.
Among the immediate plans is the simplification of the process for Smart Readiness. Funds from the Recovery Fund will be used to subsidize the ultra-high speed connections of those participating in Smart Readiness, he added. | <urn:uuid:dfc2210d-755f-4c0a-9239-510a928a8ea8> | {

COLUMBUS, Ind. — While trucking demand remains soft overall, rising imports and intermodal trends are key leading indicators of a recovery in trucking this year, according to the latest release of the Freight Forecast, U.S. Rate and Volume OUTLOOK report. Recovering goods demand, inventories, and global ocean shipping disruptions will likely add to US freight movements in 2024 as shippers seek to buffer safety stocks.
"The January surge in rates following the extreme cold mostly reversed quickly as temperatures rose into seasonal market softness, but in late February, seasonally adjusted spot rates were still at six-month highs, excluding the cold snap," said Tim Denoyer, ACT Research's vice president and senior analyst. "With January freight volumes slowed by weather, we see signs the next few seasonally soft months could turn above trend as shippers work to make up lost volumes. The truckload CEOs we interviewed at ACT's seminar on February 21 are seeing volumes improve enough to get more selective on freight mix, but this demand is not finding its way into the spot market yet."
The leading indicators of a change in the cycle's trajectory include strong intermodal and import trends, which suggest the inventory cycle is turning.
However, the freight market remains loose, and while the cold was impactful, it was brief.
ACT officials believe the improvement in driver availability at the medium and large fleets in ACT's for-hire survey was partly due to further exodus of owner-operator capacity.
"For-hire capacity continues to tighten at the margin and fleet capex budgets are sharply lower for 2024. There are certainly pockets of strength, such as in LTL, where capacity additions are likely, but the message of capital discipline from the industry suggests tighter supply this year, as demand begins to recover. The modal mix shifts in the Cass data suggest the cycle is through the worst, but not out of the woods quite yet," Denoyer concluded.

Snapchat is a multimedia instant free messaging app on Android and iOS devices. The app has features like filters, lenses, and stickers that you can add to your photos and videos. The pictures and videos are only visible to users who are friends on the app. But how do you know if someone unfriended you on Snapchat?
How to tell if someone unadded you on Snapchat
Unlike other social media apps, Snapchat does not notify you when someone unfriends you due to privacy reasons. However, to know if someone has unfriended you, there are various ways to follow. Below is a simple guide to see if you have been unfriended on the app.
1. You cannot view their Snapcode
When you have been unfriended on the app, you cannot see their Snapcode. A Snapcode is a unique image that looks like a QR code used for different things on the platform. Snapcodes can be used to add new friends, link to websites, and connect to exclusive content. If you cannot view the code, the user has unadded you.
2. You cannot view their Snapscore
Snapscore is a number that indicates how active you are on the platform. This score is based on how many Snaps and messages you send and receive. You should be able to see your friend's score if you both follow each other.
3. You are unable to find their username or full name on Snapchat
There are different ways to find a user on the app. You can search for their username directly or sync your phone's contacts. To know someone has unadded you, type the person's username in the search bar. If the person's name does not appear, they have unadded or blocked you.
4. Your shared Snaps or messages are pending
Another way to know if someone unadded you is if your shared Snaps are still pending. You are no longer friends if you recently sent snaps and they are still pending. You can send a message to confirm the status, and if it shows pending, you have been unfriended.
5. They are active when you use a different account
Another way to determine whether someone has unadded you is to use another Snapchat account. Here, you can search your friend's name, and if their name pops up, they have unadded you from your old account.
6. They don't appear on viewer's list when you post a story
When you post a story on the app, you expect your friends to view it. If your friend has unadded you, they cannot view your stories. Although this is not always the case, it could give you an idea of who is still on your friend list.
7. Checking your chat history and contact list
Your contact list and chat history are another way to check if someone has unadded you. Go to your friend contact list and choose the name of the person you suspect from the list. They have unadded you if the name does not appear on the list.
How do you know if someone unfriended you on Snapchat?
You can check if someone has unfriended you with this step-by-step guide:
- Go to the Snapchat app on your iPhone or Android device and open it.
- Click your profile picture or Bitmoji at the top-left corner of your screen.
- Scroll down and select "My Friends."
- Check the person you suspect on the list.
- If they don't appear, they have unfriended you.
If someone unadded you on Snapchat, can you still message them?
You can still message someone who has unadded you on the social media app. However, the messages will not be delivered but remain pending. They will only be delivered if they add you back.
How to tell if someone unadded you on Snapchat without snapping them
There are various ways to check if someone has unadded you on the app without snapping them. They include:
- Check if they are still on your friend's list.
- Post a story on your Snapchat and check if the viewer.
- Use a different account to check if they are active.
- Check to see if you can view their Snap Score and their Snapcode.
If someone unadded you on Snapchat, can they see if you screenshot?
If your friend on the app has unadded you, they will not be notified if you screenshot their content. However, if the screenshot was taken before they unadded you, they can see you took a screenshot.
If someone deleted you on Snapchat, will it say delivered?
No, it will not be delivered. It will appear as pending. The only way to receive a delivered notification is if the user adds you back.
What does it look like if someone unadded you on Snapchat?
Snapchat does not notify you when you have been unadded on the app. However, there are some signs that you should look out for. For example, you will not see their Snap score or Snapcode, and they will not appear on your viewers' and friends' lists.
What happens when someone unfriends you on Snapchat?
When someone unfriends you on Snapchat, you cannot view their snaps and stories or share videos and messages with them.
How do you check if someone unfriended me on Snapchat?
You can check if someone unfriended you on Snapchat by using these steps.
- Check their Snapcode.
- Check their Snapscore.
- Check their username on Snapchat.
- Check if your shared Snaps or messages are pending.
- Use a different account to check if they are active.
- Look at the viewer's list after posting a Snap story.
- Check your chat history and contact list.
