NO SUSPECT YET IN WHITE HOUSE COCAINE INVESTIGATION, CULPRIT MAY NEVER BE FOUND: SOURCE
The source provided more details on where exactly the drugs were found. The Secret Service on Thursday still had no suspects in the investigation into who brought cocaine into the White House over the weekend, and it's not clear whether a culprit will ever be found, a source told Fox News Digital. The source, who is familiar with the Secret Service probe, told Fox News Digital on Thursday that it will take time to review the evidence and said officials admitted there is a possibility they will not be able to determine who brought the drugs into the White House. The source added that multiple tests have been run on the cocaine container, including DNA and fingerprints tests.

LAWYER WARNS YOU SHOULD 'NEVER LEAVE ANYTHING' TO YOUR KIDS WHEN YOU DIE — SAYING IT'LL LEAD TO SERIOUS FINANCIAL DISTRESS.
If you love your kids, don’t leave anything to them when you die, says one California-based attorney. Instead, you can save your loved ones from serious financial (and legal) woes by creating a living trust and making them beneficiaries. The attorney — who raises awareness about money management, wills and trusts on TikTok. he lawyer says she'd put everything — including her life insurance and bank accounts — in a living trust, or revocable living trust, and she'd name her kids as the beneficiaries of that trust. A living trust allows you to manage your assets in your own name for as long as you’re able. The word “revocable” means the trust can be undone or changed. You’ll have to name a “successor trustee” — which can be a family member, friend, a private fiduciary or even a bank — who can take over managing your assets in case of reduced mental faculties or death. One of the most common misconceptions is that you need to have a lot of money to set up a trust — but that's “simply not true.”

STUDY SAYS AI BETTER AT PREDICTING CANCER RISK
A new study claims that artificial intelligence is more accurate at predicting a patient's cancer risk than traditional methods. Artificial intelligence (AI) programs performed better at predicting five-year breast cancer risk than traditional models, according to a study published in Radiology, a journal of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). The researchers used data from negative 2d mammograms performed at Kaiser Permanente Northern California in 2016. The scientists screened 324,009 women and chose 13,628 for analysis. In addition, 4,584 from the eligibility pool diagnosed with breast cancer within five years of the original 2016 mammogram remained in the study. The scientists followed the participants until 2021.

The Agriculture Department gave the green light to Upside Foods and Good Meat, firms that had been racing to be the first in the US to sell meat that doesn’t come from slaughtered animals — what’s now being referred to as “cell-cultivated” or “cultured” meat as it emerges from the laboratory and arrives on dinner plates.
The move launches a new era of meat production aimed at eliminating harm to animals and drastically reducing the environmental impacts of grazing, growing feed for animals and animal waste.
“Instead of all of that land and all of that water that’s used to feed all of these animals that are slaughtered, we can do it in a different way,” said Josh Tetrick, co-founder and chief executive of Eat Just, which operates Good Meat.

BILL BARR SAYS HUNTER’S PLEA UPS ANTE ON DOJ TO RELEASE DOC ALLEGING BIDEN BRIBERY SCHEME: ‘CRITICAL’
Former attorney general says a key FBI document should be released as long as steps are taken to protect the confidential human source. Former Attorney General William Barr said it’s "even more critical" that the Department of Justice release a document alleging a criminal bribery scheme involving President Biden after a plea deal between prosecutors and the president's son, Hunter. The Justice Department announced on Tuesday that Hunter Biden will plead guilty to two misdemeanor counts of willful failure to pay federal income tax. The younger Biden also agreed to enter into a pretrial diversion agreement regarding a separate charge of possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance. Barr said the DOJ should cooperate with House Republicans demanding that the FBI release the FD-1023 form – providing necessary steps are taken to protect the life and safety of the confidential human source in the document.

TOO HEAVY FOR THAT FLIGHT? AIRLINE STARTS WEIGHING PASSENGERS BEFORE BOARDING
While there are multiple memes and TikTok videos about frustrated passengers putting multiple items of clothing on themselves right at the counter, weighing the passengers themselves has up until now largely been a joke and industry taboo due to the ethics around such a practice — Air New Zealand announced that it would start doing just that as part of a pilot program requested by the country's Civil Aviation Authority. Dubbed the "International Passenger Weight Survey," the program will ask travelers traveling out of New Zealand through the Auckland airport to step on a scale and weigh themselves along with any carry-on baggage. "For safety reasons we need to know the weight of all items onboard the aircraft," Air New Zealand announced in a new ravel alert page on its website.

SLOWING ECONOMY AND CREDIT CRUNCH IS SQUEEZING SMALL BUSINESSES
Frustrated and angry, small business owners tell Axios they're losing trust in the financial system as banks become more tight-fisted. Loan rejections and prolonged borrowing approvals have become the norm — squeezing small business growth and jeopardizing stability as the economy slows and the banking crisis injects more uncertainty. Banks have grown more nervous about lending after the failure of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. Roughly 47% of banks surveyed by the Fed after the seizure of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank said they had tightened lending standards for small firms — those with annual sales of less than $50 million — during the first three months of the year.
Inflation is hitting small business owners hard but most are hesitant to raise prices.

Since the Dallas North Tollway was constructed, there has always been a vision and a goal that one day it would have a new name: The Dallas North Freeway. For drivers who have paid more and more to use the road over the years, a commute free of any tolls sounds so great yet so unattainable. Perhaps because the initial plans for the DNT aimed to have it paid for years ago.
That was the complaint of many drivers in a 1975 WFAA story archived in the SMU Jones Film Library when the cost of using the DNT was raised from 20 to 25 cents.
Those looking for a silver lining mentioned they would now just have to throw one coin, a quarter, into the toll booth basket rather than fish around for multiple nickels and dimes. Others lamented an increase that would cost daily commuters nearly $25 more a year to use the road.
One trip from Prosper to Downtown Dallas costs more than $6 today.
But one driver wondered aloud the same thought that has remained five decades later.

Americans continued to pile on credit card debt this year, with total balances approaching $1 trillion sooner than some experts had expected. US credit cardholders now owe $986 billion in debt, data from the Federal Reserve of New York found Monday. That’s $59 billion higher than the record set in the fourth quarter of 2019, when balances stood at $927 billion. It’s also the first time since 2001 in which credit card debt didn’t fall in the first quarter. The uptick in credit card debt is a sign that some US households are being forced to lean on credit cards to meet basic monthly expenses as inflation and high interest rates diminish their savings. Still, there are some ways consumers can use credit cards to their advantage, experts say, when used wisely.
How is the country split between people who use credit cards the right way and those who use them the wrong way? Credit cards can be about the cheapest way to use credit - or one of the most expensive. What makes the difference?

Why is your steak getting pricier? Hamburgers and steaks, already near record-level prices, are set to get more expensive.
The culprit is a rapidly shrinking supply of cattle. Years of persistent drought conditions, which make cattle more expensive to raise, pandemic disruptions and widespread cost increases have prompted ranchers to sell off livestock, bringing the number of cattle in the U.S. to its lowest level in nearly a decade. U.S. beef production is on track to drop by more than 2 billion pounds in 2024, the biggest annual decline since 1979, according to Agriculture Department data.
With costs rising for nearly every aspect of raising cattle, ranchers say they are running out of reasons to replace the livestock they send to slaughter, let alone enlarge their herds. “We’re spending $1 million to make $4,000,” said Ryan Stromberger, a rancher in southwest Nebraska just outside the city of Ogallala who also has two feedlots.
With less beef available, consumers shouldn’t expect lower grocery bills for now. Prices for ground beef, up more than 20% since 2020, could hit record highs this summer during peak grilling season and an estimated average retail price of $5.33 a pound this year, according to analysts at agricultural lender Rabobank. Prices could add at least 15 to 25 cents in 2024, the analysts said.

The inflation wave that crested at a 40-year high last year and remains elevated has eroded US households’ sense of financial security, the Federal Reserve reported. In an annual survey showing the corrosive effects of inflation on Americans’ economic confidence, many complained they had reduced their savings to make ends meet, felt less secure about retirement, and had delayed purchases or swapped into cheaper products as they shopped. The Fed said the percentage of respondents who said they were doing “at least OK financially” in 2022 tumbled by 5 percentage points — the most since the survey was launched a decade ago — to 73%. It had stood at a record high the year before. The share of those saying they were worse off shot up 15 points to 35%, the highest level by far since the Fed first started asking that question in 2014.

DOCTORS MAY RETIRE EN MASSE SOON. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR MEDICINE?
The double whammy of pandemic burnout and the aging of baby boomer physicians has, indeed, the makings of some scary headlines. A recent survey by Elsevier Health predicts that up to 75% of healthcare workers will leave the profession by 2025. And a 2020 study conducted by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) projected a shortfall of up to 139,000 physicians by 2033.
According to one study, America could see a shortage of between 37,800 and 124,000 physicians by 2034. The study found that if rural residents had the same access to healthcare as their urban counterparts, rural areas would need an additional 180,000 doctors. Are so many doctors reaching retirement age that it's going to cause a crisis?

WHITE HOUSE AVOIDS MENTIONING TEXAS MURDER FUGITIVE IS A PREVIOUSLY DEPORTED ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT
Francisco Oropesa last encountered ICE in 2016. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Monday avoided mentioning that the man accused of murdering five people, including an eight-year-old child, in Cleveland, Texas, is an illegal immigrant who was previously deported five times. Jean-Pierre opened the daily White House Press briefing with an update on the manhunt for the suspect, 38-year-old Francisco Oropesa, and while she made no mention of his illegal immigrant status or the number of times he had been deported, repeated calls for Congress to ban AR-15 style firearms that she referred to as "weapons of war." Oropesa, who is a Mexican national, allegedly committed the execution-style murders last Friday after a family member of the victims complained about him firing a rifle in the middle of the night. He then allegedly entered the neighbor's house with the rifle and fired at the individuals inside. Five of the ten people living in the home were killed. A source from ICE told Fox News Digital about Oropesa's previous deportations, including that his last run-in with the agency was in 2016.

SURVEY: 56% OF WORKERS PLAN TO LOOK FOR A JOB IN THE NEXT 12 MONTHS
Last year, as part of the “Great Resignation,” many workers were looking for new jobs with better pay and flexibility. This year, more workers are seeking new jobs than in 2022: More than half (56 percent) of the workforce is likely to look for a new job in the next 12 months, up from 51 percent in 2022, according to Bankrate’s 2023 job seeker survey. The possibility of a recession this year has led to large companies such as Meta and Amazon implementing cost-cutting layoffs, and it also may be spurring workers to make new career moves. In 2023, workers say that higher pay, more flexible hours and working remotely are most important to them.
You would think that with so many large employers laying people off, job hopping would slow down. Why are so many people thinking about leaving their jobs? What should companies do to keep their best and brightest from jumping ship?

April 18, 2023, is tax day, the federal deadline for filing a 2022 federal income tax return. This is also the last day to request a six-month tax extension using Form 4868. For last-minute filers, the IRS will consider your paper return on time if it is properly addressed, has enough postage, is postmarked, and is put in the mail by the due date. For e-filers, the agency says the date and time in your time zone when your return is transmitted determine whether it's on time. The IRS began accepting and processing tax returns Jan. 23, 2023. Self-employed workers and other people who pay estimated taxes have another set of deadlines to keep in mind. Estimated taxes are typically collected four times a year, in January, April, June and September. If you request a tax extension, your federal tax return will be due Oct. 16, 2023. You must file Form 4868 by Tax Day (April 18) to be eligible for the extension. Getting a tax extension gives you more time to file, but it does not give you more time to pay your taxes. You will still need to estimate your taxes owed and pay the sum by April 18.

ARREST OF CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS LEAK SUSPECT JACK TEIXEIRA MET WITH OUTRAGE: 'INCOMPETENCE IS STUNNING'
Jack Teixeira had the highest-level security clearance granted by the federal government for top secret information. The arrest of a 21-year-old Air National Guardsman in connection to classified documents that have been leaked online in recent months has been met with outrage as critics wonder how a young man could have such high-level access to national security information. FBI agents arrested Massachusetts Air National Guardsman Jack Douglas Teixeira on Thursday after U.S. intelligence documents that had critical information about the war in Ukraine and Chinese relations were posted on the chat app Discord. Attorney General Merrick Garland said that Teixeira is being investigated for the "alleged unauthorized removal, retention, and transmission of classified national defense information." "It is treason," former Bush 43 chief speechwriter Marc Thiessen told "The Story" on Thursday, "The idea that a 21-year-old kid can expose sources and methods of how we spy, how we have penetrated the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, because apparently we've exposed the fact we know they have a new hypersonic missile that can reach the United States, that they exposed our penetration of the Russian Defense Ministry, that could affect the war in Ukraine. I mean, the incompetence is stunning." "And it wasn't, unlike Edward Snowden and Chelsea Manning, it wasn't ideological," he continued. "It was some kid trying to show off to his friends in a gaming chat room and has literally affected global national security by doing so. How this happens is just beyond me."

POLITICS ARE INCREASINGLY A DATING DEALBREAKER — ESPECIALLY FOR WOMEN.
America is changing faster than ever! Add Changing America to your Facebook or Twitter feed to stay on top of the news. Women, in particular, are considering politics more when deciding who to date, are less likely to date across the political aisle and are more cautious when approaching dating than they were in the past. Americans as a whole say that political divisions have become a bigger obstacle to pursuing relationships of late. Eighty-six percent think it has grown more difficult to date someone who supports the opposing political party in recent years, according to a 2020 YouGov-Economist poll. And most Americans would be unwilling to date someone with political views different from their own, another YouGov poll found the same year. But that feeling was especially strong among women — and Democrats. While more than half of men said they would date someone with different views, just 35 percent of women said the same thing. And only 40 percent of Democrats said they would date across party lines, compared to 48 percent of Republicans and 49 percent of independents.
Have we made politics too big a deal? Don't opposites attract? Should you only date or marry someone who agrees with you politically? There are even dating apps and services that cater to political beliefs.

CREDIT CARD DEBT IS AT RECORD HIGH
As the Federal Reserve raises interest rates again, credit card debt is already at a record high, and more people are carrying debt month to month. The Fed’s interest rate increases are meant to fight inflation, but they’ve also led to higher annual percentage rates for people with credit card debt, which means they pay more in interest. The Fed announced that it would increase rates another quarter of a percentage point. With inflation still high, people are leaning on their credit cards more for everyday purchases. During the early part of the pandemic, credit card debt fell 17%, Bankrate said, thanks in part to stimulus programs, emergency relief and a decrease in consumer spending. But in the last three months of 2022, credit card balances in the U.S. increased $61 billion to $986 billion, surpassing the pre-pandemic high of $927 billion, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

FIGHTING FENTANYL: AS DEATHS MOUNT, WHAT CAN BE DONE?
Fentanyl continues to hold America in its grip, but one doctor is doing his part to spark hope and change. Dr. Paul Christo, Associate Professor at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, can help your audience understand the dangers of illegal fentanyl use, the availability of harm reduction strategies and what he says we can do as a society to address the opioid crisis. Amid the surge of opioid deaths and seizures of large amounts of illegal fentanyl all across the country, Dr. Paul Christo, Associate Professor at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, points to easier access to affordable treatment as being a critical component in battling the opioid crisis. “If you have the disease of addiction, say to fentanyl, treatment is important and necessary,” Dr. Christo said in a recent interview. “There are drug treatment centers across the country. Sadly though, there aren’t enough, and they’re quite expensive. Frankly, I think what we should do is use some of the money that the pharmaceutical companies have been paying out to help fund the cost of these treatment centers.” Educating young people about the dangers of illicit drug use and finding more effective ways to stop the manufacture and distribution of illegal drugs are other critical steps, Dr. Christo added. Opioids began as an effective treatment for chronic pain, but its use quickly spiraled out of control, he explains. “In the mid-1990s, more and more practitioners were using opioids as a first-line agent to reduce pain,” Dr. Christo said. “And that, unfortunately, led to an increase in the use of opioids for chronic pain and probably increased the use for those who really didn’t need them.” There’s no question that the pandemic caused a troubling upward trend in addiction disorders, and a recent study predicts an additional 1.2 million drug overdose deaths in the next decade, with people in the Black community bearing the brunt of the opioid epidemic. Dr. Christo wants to remind those battling chronic pain or addiction that there is hope — and help — if they just know where to look for it.

Former President Trump arrived at Trump Tower after flying from Florida to New York on Monday, and he'll spend the night at his residence there before turning himself in to face criminal charges. His arraignment at a Manhattan courtroom was yesterday which is among the outlets taking a look at what the day will hold:
No, you can't watch: Multiple media outlets filed motions seeking to record the hearing, but Trump's lawyers on Tuesday opposed allowing cameras in, ABC News reports. "It will create a circus-like atmosphere at the arraignment, raise unique security concerns, and is inconsistent with President Trump’s presumption of innocence," a Trump lawyer argues. The judge in the case ruled the hearing cannot be broadcast and neither cellphones nor laptops can be used in the courtroom, but that still photographs can be taken of Trump in the hallway before the arraignment starts, CNN and NBC News report. (New York typically does not allow cameras in courtrooms).

TRUMP NY GRAND JURY INDICTMENT: FORMER PRESIDENT EXPECTED TO SURRENDER TO DA'S OFFICE NEXT WEEK
Former President Trump is accused of making hush money payments to boost his 2016 White House run, in a case could have implications for his 2024 run. Former President Trump was indicted by a Manhattan grand jury Thursday after a years-long investigation led by the Manhattan District Attorney's Office. The former president of the United States and the leading Republican candidate for the White House in 2024 was charged Thursday, after weeks of speculation on whether Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg would seek to indict him related to hush money payments made before the 2016 presidential election. Trump's presidency was clouded by investigations — several probed whether he colluded with Russia to influence the 2016 election, some focused on his finances, and others led to impeachment, making him the first president in United States history to have been impeached twice. Trump’s post-presidential life is reminiscent of his days in the Oval Office, marred by probes which the former president and his allies say are all just part of an effort by his political opponents to derail his 2024 presidential campaign.

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU CAN’T PAY YOUR TAX BILL
Since 2017, tax season has looked different for many Americans. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act changed the withholding tables, meaning Americans had more money in their paycheck but potentially smaller refunds — or worse, a tax bill — when returns are filed. “If you can’t pay your taxes, your points of action should be based on your current financial status and how much you owe,” said Ted Kleinman, a certified public accountant and owner of US Tax Help. “The worst thing to do is (to) not take any action or to react in a delayed fashion.” Don’t think that you can hide from the IRS by not filing an income tax return. “The No. 1 thing you should not do is not file simply because you can’t pay,” said Bill Smith, the managing director of CBIZ MHM’s national tax office. “It’s a crime not to file a return.” Plus, you could be charged a failure-to-file penalty of 5% on the amount you owe for each month your return is late, Smith said. The penalty won’t exceed 25% of what you owe, however. For those who file but don’t pay, the IRS will enact a smaller penalty of 0.5% on what you owe each month until you pay in full. By filing, you give yourself more time to pay with a reduced penalty, which ultimately saves you money. In either case, though, you will be charged interest on the amount you owe. The rate, which compounds daily, is determined quarterly and is based on the federal short-term rate plus 3%.

BANK OF MOM & DAD: MORE THAN 3 IN 10 ADULTS ADMIT THEIR PARENTS PAY FOR AT LEAST ONE BILL
More than three in 10 (35%) adults admit they still have at least one bill on their parents’ tab. According to a new poll of 2,000 Americans, the top three expenses still paid by parents are rent (19%), groceries (19%) and utilities (16%). In fact, almost one-quarter (24%) of millennials polled say their parents cover their rent. About three-quarters of those respondents (72%) plan to take on these bills themselves within the next two years, but 30% admit they will be riding the wave until they’re told otherwise. Another 31% are trying to save money, saying it is cheaper to stay on their parents’ plan. Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Chartway Credit Union, the survey showed that despite not managing all of their expenses, 85% of respondents consider themselves to be financially responsible. Studies show tens of millions of parents have found themselves stuck in the "Sandwich Generation" -- caring for not only their adult children, but also their parents. Often these parents aren't able to put away enough for their own retirement because of all the people they're helping out financially.

Musculoskeletal and nervous system issues and digestive problems were much less prevalent, according to researchers. Another finding worth noting: Two-thirds of the people affected by respiratory issues, sleep disorders, anxiety and chest pain were women.

The US military on Saturday shot down a suspected Chinese spy balloon off the Carolina coast after it traversed sensitive military sites across North America, drawing a threat of repercussions from China.
President Joe Biden issued the order but had wanted the balloon downed even earlier, on Wednesday. He was advised that the best time for the operation would be when it was over water, US officials said.
Military officials determined that bringing it down over land from an altitude of 18,288 metres would pose an undue risk to people on the ground.
China responded that it reserved the right to "take further actions" and "an obvious overreaction and a serious violation of international practice."
In its statement Sunday, China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that "China will resolutely uphold the relevant company's legitimate rights and interests, and at the same time reserving the right to take further actions in response."

FENTANYL HOLDS AMERICA IN ITS GRIP AS OVERDOSE DEATHS SOAR
Synthetic opioids like fentanyl claim more than 150 lives every day in the United States, according to the CDC. And the DEA reports that a recent study of fake prescription drugs revealed that 6 out of 10 pills analyzed contained potentially lethal amounts of fentanyl. Dr. Paul Christo, Associate Professor at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, has been on the frontlines battling the opioid crisis. “Fentanyl is about 80 to 100 times more potent than morphine, so you can put that into perspective in terms of its danger,” Dr. Christo explained in a recent interview. Opioids began as an effective treatment for chronic pain, but its use quickly spiraled out of control. “In the mid-1990s, more and more practitioners were using opioids as a first-line agent to reduce pain,” Dr. Christo explained. “And that, unfortunately, led to an increase in the use of opioids for chronic pain and probably increased the use for those who really didn’t need them.” There’s no question that the pandemic caused a troubling upward trend in addiction disorders, and a recent study predicts an additional 1.2 million drug overdose deaths in the next decade, with people in the Black community bearing the brunt of the opioid epidemic. Dr. Christo wants to remind those battling chronic pain or addiction that there is hope — and help — if they just know where to look for it. “Don’t give up if you have chronic pain,” he said. “Because there is hope. We have nonopioid treatments that can be effective. Also don’t give up if you have a substance use disorder. Talk to your primary care doctor, talk to emergency room physicians … SAMHSA is a good resource, too …Take the opportunity to use the resources that are available.” The opioid epidemic today progressed in three phases, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The first involves deaths caused by prescription opioids, the second, an increase in heroin use, and the third, a surge in the use of synthetic opioids or fentanyl. Experts say the U.S. is right in the middle of the third phase of the epidemic, due to the increasing availability of fentanyl and increasing rates of overdose deaths involving synthetic opioids.

RUSSIAN HACKERS TARGETED U.S. NUCLEAR SCIENTISTS
A Russian hacking team known as Cold River targeted three nuclear research laboratories in the United States this past summer, according to internet records reviewed by Reuters and five cyber security experts. Between August and September, as President Vladimir Putin indicated Russia would be willing to use nuclear weapons to defend its territory, Cold River targeted the Brookhaven (BNL), Argonne (ANL) and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories (LLNL), according to internet records that showed the hackers creating fake login pages for each institution and emailing nuclear scientists in a bid to make them reveal their passwords. Cold River has escalated its hacking campaign against Kyiv's allies since the invasion of Ukraine, according to cybersecurity researchers and western government officials. The digital blitz against the U.S. labs occurred as U.N. experts entered Russian-controlled Ukrainian territory to inspect Europe's biggest atomic power plant and assess the risk of what both sides said could be a devastating radiation disaster amid heavy shelling nearby. Cold River, which first appeared on the radar of intelligence professionals after targeting Britain's foreign office in 2016, has been involved in dozens of other high-profile hacking incidents in recent years, according to interviews with nine cybersecurity firms.

THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY SAYS IT DEVELOPED A PORTABLE GUNSHOT DETECTION SYSTEM
However, critics suggest systems such as SDS Outdoor aren't effective enough and may violate people's privacy. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) says its Science and Technology Directorate division has created a portable gunshot detection system with the help of a company called Shooter Detection Systems (SDS). The agency notes that whereas other systems only detect audio, SDS Outdoor can pinpoint flashes of gunshots as well. DHS claims this approach can reduce false positive rates. DHS has not disclosed details about the accuracy of the system. SDS, which is owned by Alarm.com, says its indoor gunshot detection system has a near-100 percent detection rate with fewer than one false alert per 5 million hours of use. The latest system took DHS and SDS almost two years to develop, and it builds on SDS' indoor gunshot detection tech. Prototype testing started a year ago. DHS says that law enforcement agencies who were involved in testing helped to make SDS Outdoor more effective in alerting forest responders to gunfire. The agency claims that SDS Outdoor could be employed at temporary events in locations where infrastructure support is not typically available. It gave open-field concerts (such as festivals) and pop-up rallies as examples of situations in which SDS Outdoor could bolster security.

In March of 2010, on the first day of spring break in Colorado, we were faced with the unfathomable—our oldest daughter, Taylor, struck a tree while skiing, and the doctors told us there was no hope of her surviving the accident.
While sitting in the hospital, we were asked a question we never thought to prepare for, “Your daughter is a beautiful candidate for organ donation; would you consider it?” We immediately said yes. Taylor was such a giving child; we knew in our hearts it was the decision she would have chosen for herself.
Taylor saved and improved the lives of five people with the gift of organ donation. Looking back on the most difficult day of our lives, we are continually grateful for the privilege to have said yes to the question that left us breathless.

WHAT IS DAMP JANUARY AND HOW DOES IT DIFFER FROM DRY JANUARY?
As the end of the indulgent holiday season draws near once more, some have already begun setting resolutions for a healthier new year. For many, this means participating in Dry January, an annual initiative that encourages individuals to give up alcohol for all 31 days in January. The health benefits to those who attempt the challenge, and successfully abstain from alcohol consumption, are well-documented, and include improved sleep, skin and liver health among other benefits. In the US, the challenge has increased in popularity in recent years, with 2022 seeing participation grow to 35 percent, according to CGA, a company that specializes in food and drink data research. Of those who attempted the challenge, CGA reports 74 percent succeeded. However, as previous studies have found, the majority of New Year’s resolutions fail, with research showing only 19 percent of individuals achieve the goals they set at the start of January. As a result, a new take on Dry January has emerged, with many instead attempting “Damp January”.
After all the holiday boozing is finished millions of people around the globe will pledge to try a Dry January. But is a Damp January a better idea? If you're trying to form a new habit, is it best to go cold turkey or wean yourself off? What are the warning signs of addiction?

Higher gasoline prices have led stations to raise the holds they put on cards by as much as 40%, a change that means overdraft risks for some. Pain at the gas pump goes beyond the high prices: Gas stations are also putting bigger holds of up to $175 on customers’ cards when they swipe. When drivers insert a credit or debit card at the pump, the gas station doesn’t know how much fuel they will buy and it places a hold on the account for an amount set by the gas station. Merchants authorize the payment networks to lift the hold once the final total of the payment is determined, though the holds can take hours and sometimes longer to settle—raising risks of overdraft penalties for debit-card users and eating into credit limits during the holds.

But there might be another way to improve shut-eye without splitting off into different rooms every night: the Scandinavian Sleep Method. Hailed for its purported sleep benefits, the Scandinavian sleep method is a popular practice originating from Scandinavian countries like Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, and is also common in other parts of Europe, such as Germany and Iceland. The basic concept: Partners sleep in the same bed together, but don't share one, individual duvet or comforter. Instead, each gets his or her own blanket.

U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents in the El Paso Sector say they've been catching women drug couriers at the border with fentanyl and cocaine smuggled inside their body cavities. Peer-to-peer car rental services are being taken advantage of by criminals. Border Patrol says criminals are getting a hold of the vehicles and using them for drug and human smuggling. North America has traditionally been the point at which the drug routes end. The Colombian drug cartels have made most of their profit with cocaine on the American scene; the Mexican drug cartels have made their profit with marijuana in the United States; the Golden Triangle has reaped its share of the profits with heroin in the United States; and the outlaw motorcycle clubs have made their profit through the production and shipment of amphetamines and methamphetamines in both the United States and Canada.

For nearly a year, inflation has been hammering Americans. Every month when the Consumer Price Index report gets released, rates have stayed high or gone higher. Hopes that elevated prices were beginning to settle were dashed Friday morning when the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released data showing that the CPI, its broad measure for prices of goods and services, reached 8.6% for the month of May. The number represents the highest level of inflation in the U.S. since 1981, and it has top economists starting to get worried—like, really worried.

With interest rates and inflation climbing, many people want to know when these high prices will start to trend downward, and at least one investment professional has said that some financial freedom may be right around the corner. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the consumer price index of all goods increased 1% in May over April, and 8.6% from more than a year ago. Plus, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates in the biggest hike in 28 years, though most people's wages and salaries have remained the same.

This year's report reveals new insights about digital news consumption based on a YouGov survey of over 93,000 online news consumers in 46 markets covering half of the world's population. The report documents ways in which the connection between journalism and the public may be fraying, including a fall in trust following last year’s positive bump, a declining interest in news and a rise in news avoidance. It also looks at audience polarization and explores how young people access news.

Since late February, Americans who have gotten a booster shot appear to be testing positive for COVID-19 more often than those vaccinated without the extra shot, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data. This is based on numbers up until the week of April 23, which is the most recently released CDC data comparing case rates of those boosted, vaccinated and unvaccinated against the coronavirus. Ultimately, the numbers, which are updated monthly, showed those unvaccinated had the highest case rates overall. Meanwhile, about 119 out of 100,000 boosted individuals tested positive for COVID-19 during the week of April 23, according to CDC data. In comparison, 56 out of 100,000 individuals vaccinated with only a primary series tested positive.

U.S. President Joe Biden demanded oil companies explain why they aren't putting more gasoline on the market, sharply escalating his rhetoric against industry as he faces pressure over rising prices. Biden wrote to executives from Marathon Petroleum Corp, (MPC.N) Valero Energy Corp, (VLO.N) and Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM.N) and complained they had cut back on oil refining to pad their profits, according to a copy of the letter seen by Reuters. Biden has been intensifying attacks against oil companies in recent days as U.S. gas prices raced to record highs above $5 per gallon this past weekend and ahead of the summertime driving season. Rising gas prices have helped drive unexpectedly persistent consumer price inflation and voter anger ahead of the Nov. 8 midterm elections where Biden's Democratic Party is defending its control of Congress.

Multiple officers were inside Robb Elementary School armed with rifles and at least one ballistic shield by 11:52 a.m. on May 24, but they didn't breach a classroom door and take out the gunman who killed 19 children and two adults for nearly an hour, according to documents reviewed by the Austin-American Statesman.

Secret government charter flights paid for by taxpayer funds are quietly transporting migrants from the southern border to other cities across the U.S. The flights, which take off from border cities like El Paso, Texas, are taking busloads of illegal aliens to various cities around the country including Jacksonville, Florida, Alexandria, Louisiana and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Lawmakers are demanding more transparency about the flights and where the migrants are going, with some state and regional leaders alleging they were not informed about the relocation plans.

All signs indicate a financial downturn is on the way. Wells Fargo CEO Charlie Scharf said there’s “no question” that the U.S. is headed for rough economic times, and investment firm Y Combinator told startups to “plan for the worst.” With rising inflation, ongoing supply chain issues and a forecast of reduced retail sales, fashion brands are making contingency plans for a potentially rough season of sales. Those plans come in many forms, from easing out of promotions to getting supply chain issues sorted ahead of price hikes to releasing fewer new products. For many brands, the other biggest concern with an economic downturn is that the already difficult supply chain situation will become even more bogged down with delays and higher prices. Getting supplies and materials has become incredibly expensive in the last year as has the cost of shipping products.

The pandemic heated a simmering pilot shortage to boiling point, leaving U.S. airlines scrambling to hire enough pilots to get flight schedules back to full capacity. The shortage is expected to limit capacity growth, and be a factor in higher ticket prices. U.S. airlines received billions in government loans in 2020 to make payroll as travel restrictions, put in place around the world to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus, caused a sharp decline in bookings. The airlines went into cash-conservation mode, especially when they were in between the two tranches of government loans. The carriers cut down on capacity and implemented hiring freezes and cost-cutting measures. Crucially, they also offered their pilots, among their highest-paid personnel, incentives to retire early.
Former commercial airline pilot and expert on the aviation industry MIKE HATTEN joins Hal and Brian.

Alliance Defending Freedom filed a lawsuit against Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville after three no-contact orders allegedly chilled a student's First Amendment rights. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of SIUE student Maggie DeJong, who received the orders after allegedly offending a student with Christian rhetoric.

TOPIC 2- OHIO GOV. MIKE DEWINE SIGNS BILL ALLOWING TEACHERS TO CARRY GUNS IN SCHOOLS WITH 24 HOURS OF TRAINING
Republican Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine confirmed Monday that he signed a bill allowing teachers and school staff to carry guns in school with reduced training. The bill, HB99, reduces the number of hours of training the staff members have to get to carry a firearm within the school. Under the new law, teachers and other staff must possess at least 24 hours of training, compared to the previous over 700 hours of training, according to local outlet NBC4. The 24 hours includes 18 hours of general training, two hours of handgun training, two hours of “additional” general training and two hours of “additional” handgun training, according to the outlet
TOPIC 3- ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT ACQUITTED IN KATE STEINLE'S 2015 SHOOTING DEATH GETS TIME SERVED FOR FEDERAL WEAPONS CHARGES
Jose Inez Garcia-Zarate, an illegal immigrant who was acquitted of murder in the 2015 shooting death of Kate Steinle, was sentenced to the seven years he has already spent behind bars on Monday after pleading guilty to federal weapons charges earlier this year. The 51-year-old Mexican national will now be transported to Texas to face charges for failing to report his location to immigration officials in a separate case. Kathryn "Kate" Steinle, 32, was walking with her father and a family friend on a San Francisco pier in July 2015 when she was struck in the back by a bullet and killed.

Student organizations from two public Florida universities are supporting a left-wing community action group's fight for defunding the local police. "People's Budget." The policy is part of the Tallahassee Community Action Committee's (TCAC) proposed "People's Budget." The budget advocates for defunding the police and creating a citizens oversight committee to regulate police activity. This budget would provide citizens with the power to slash police budgets and manage all police activity and create the Civilian Police Accountability Council (CPAC). Both the Florida State University (FSU) and Florida A&M University (FAMU) Students for Democratic Society chapters support the measure, as well as FSU Graduate Assistants United, per the organizations' tweets.

The average household is expected to spend nearly 1% more for electricity compared to summer 2021. Summer is right around the corner, which means jamming up those air conditioning units. However, with the cost of energy rising, cooling down the house in the midst of the sweltering summer heat is going to cost more than usual. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimated that on average there will be an increase of 3.9% in the price of electricity for U.S. households this summer. For the entire summer, the agency projects that the average household is expected to spend 0.9% more for electricity compared to summer 2021, according to the EIA.

The D-FW rate, reported by the Labor Department every other month, checked in a half-percentage point above the country’s four-decade high of 8.6%. Gasoline prices are showing no let-up, pushing inflation to its highest level since 1981.
Gas prices are now forecast to reach $5 a gallon in Texas. The national average gas price on Friday was $4.99 a gallon and the Texas average was $4.65, according to AAA Texas. Prices at the pump collapsed with demand when the pandemic started and then inched back up with oil prices and the opening of the economy, but took off exponentially in January.

There have always been homeless people in the United States. As economic circumstances and demographic forces have fluctuated, so have the size and composition of the homeless population, although relatively permanent skid rows where homeless people congregate have long been a feature of many large cities. In the past decade, however, the problem of homelessness has increasingly captured public attention. Not only has the number of homeless people increased dramatically within the last several years but the composition of the homeless population has also changed appreciably during that period. Growing public awareness of homelessness is also connected to changes in the geographic dispersion of homeless people, who are becoming more visible in neighborhoods and communities that would not have imagined their presence in the past.

Airfares have increased by 25% just in the last year, according to the Consumer Price Index. One key factor pushing up prices: Demand for travel is high. For the first time, passengers screened at TSA checkpoints across the U.S. have risen to about 90% of pre-pandemic levels. In April alone, prices went up nearly 20%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The high cost of fuel and a shortage of pilots is also raising the cost of a ticket.

When it comes to how we think of food and our bodies, early experiences often set the tone. Many parents grew up with the clean-plate club or the diet du jour, and they have sought to change the script. But while our understanding of nutrition and psychology has improved, the world we inhabit is more image-conscious than ever, leaving parents to battle negative body image for themselves and their kids. Jill Castle, a pediatric nutritionist and author of “Parenting Food,” is sympathetic. “It’s never been more challenging for parents to raise their kids to not only be healthy eaters, but also to have good self-esteem and positive body image,” Castle says.

Despite the age-old belief that a cocktail, glass of wine, or beer at the end of the day could potentially bolster heart health, new evidence suggests that this healthful reputation is a sham. According to a new study published in The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Network Open, there is little evidence to support the notion that consuming small amounts of alcohol poses any benefit to cardiovascular health. The study, which set out to determine how different quantities of habitual alcohol consumption affect the risk of cardiovascular disease, found that any degree of drinking — from a single glass of wine per week to excessive boozy binges — increases the risk of heart disease. However, the risk increases substantially with more excessive consumption than it does with casual, moderate drinking.

Many of us think a decrease in cognitive ability is part of the natural aging process—the so-called "senior moments" that happen more frequently as we get older. Forgetting to do something or having small details slip your mind might not seem like a serious issue, but these brain blips may be a sign of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), which can lead to dementia down the line. According to the Mayo Clinic, things like avoiding excessive alcohol use, limiting exposure to air pollution, exercising regularly, and getting good sleep at night can help keep our brains healthy—but a recent study found that a common medication could be thwarting those efforts. Women who took certain prescription pharmaceuticals were more likely to have decreased cognitive ability over time. A study published in PLOS ONE last month found that women who frequently took antibiotics during midlife showed faster rates of cognitive decline than those who did not.

If you want to eat like some of the healthiest people on the planet, consider swapping out that steak for a plate of beans and rice. Eating high-carb diets rich in plant protein is a defining feature of the "Blue Zones," the five places in the world where people live the longest, healthiest lives — typically reaching, or surpassing, 100 years old in good health. While the specific foods vary, foods groups like beans, nuts, whole grains, herbs, and green veggies make up the backbone of Blue Zones diets. People seeking to imitate the Blue Zones dietary patterns should aim to make plant-based foods about 95% of their diet and limit their intake of red meat, according to author Dan Buettner, who popularized the Blue Zones diet. Dietitians typically recommend aiming to get between half to three-quarters of a gram of protein per pound of body weight — about 60-90 grams a day for a 120 pound person, for example. Protein is an important nutrient for helping repair tissue and build muscle.

DATA SUGGESTS INFLATION PRESSURES ARE SENDING RECESSIONARY SIGNALS
Inflation is now at 7.9% - a 40-year high, according to government figures. Clearly the categories of gas, food, and housing, it’s considerably higher. The Federal Reserve is attempting to fight that inflation by raising interest rates. But those higher rates could prove expensive in the long run for the economy since past data shows rate-tightening cycles often culminate in recession.

Inflation is increasing the price of just about everything, including childcare. It’s one of the most expensive things in an American family’s budget and it’s only getting worse. New research from United WE, an organization in Kansas City that works to empower and strengthen women, showed in Kansas, infant care at daycare centers is 1.3 times as expensive as in-state college tuition.
The cost of child care now amounts to 31% of the average income for women, making it almost impossible for millions of women to have a job that requires them to come into the office.

With the coronavirus heading toward endemic status, many of us are settling into the idea that this time every year we will be asking ourselves, “Are these allergies or is this COVID?” Recent studies have found that the allergy season is becoming longer and more intense due to climate change. Even people that don’t normally experience allergies are having allergy-like symptoms due to all of the pollen in the air. These symptoms appear similar not only to the person experiencing them but also to the people around them and many fear the COVID stigma that comes from coughing or sniffling in public, especially if you’re not wearing a mask. Taking control of your allergy symptoms is one of the best ways to ease this concern and your symptoms while also making the people around you feel more at ease.

You might think business jargon can help you stay ahead of the curve – but most office workers believe it shows you do not know what you are doing. And ‘blue-sky thinking’ – meaning trying to find completely new ideas – is the most annoying workplace phrase of all, according to a survey. It topped the list on 27 percent, while 26 percent of respondents said ‘think outside the box’ is the most grating. Next are ‘low-hanging fruit’ – something that is easily attained or dealt with – and ‘touch base’, meaning briefly make contact, on 23 percent, the poll of 1,500 office workers found. A whopping 90 percent of respondents feel some people use jargon to try to cover up their shortcomings.

The resignation of Anatoly Chubais, who was President Vladimir Putin’s envoy to international organizations for sustainable development, was not the first resignation of a state official over the war with Ukraine, but it was one of the most striking. Anatoly Chubais, who was President Vladimir Putin’s envoy to international organizations on sustainable development, is well known in Russia. He held high profile posts for nearly three decades, beginning under Boris Yeltsin, the first post-Soviet leader. A number of public figures have condemned the invasion of Ukraine and left their posts at state-run institutions and companies, which could signal divisions in Russia’s official ranks over the war. So far there have been no indications that the resignations have reached into Putin's inner circle. The handful of departures came as Putin blasted those opposing his course as “scum and traitors,” which Russian society would spit out "like a gnat.”

More than 500 people in the U.S. were killed or wounded in road-rage shootings in 2021, the "worst year on record" for gun violence on streets and highways, according to analysis released Monday by Everytown for Gun Safety. It’s unclear what’s causing the rise in violence on the road, but gun-safety advocates suggest pandemic-related stressors and record increases in gun purchases may be factors. Last year, nearly 400 people were wounded and 130 more were fatally shot during encounters with aggressive drivers, compared to 225 injured and 68 killed in 2019. In an average month in 2021, 44 people were shot in road-rage incidents, which was double the pre-pandemic average, according to Everytown, a nonprofit that advocates gun control.

Nearly a year after COVID vaccines became freely available in the U.S., one fourth of American adults remain unvaccinated, and a picture of the economic cost of vaccine hesitancy is emerging. It points to financial risk for individuals, companies and publicly funded programs. Vaccine hesitancy likely already accounts for tens of billions of dollars in preventable U.S. hospitalization costs and up to hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths, say public health experts. For individuals forgoing vaccination, the risks can include layoffs and ineligibility to collect unemployment, higher insurance premiums, growing out-of-pocket medical costs or loss of academic scholarships. For employers, vaccine hesitancy can contribute to short-staffed workplaces. For taxpayers, it could mean a financial drain on programs such as Medicare, which provides healthcare for seniors.

“We strongly believe it is now time to give our members and passengers the opportunity to choose if they prefer to wear a mask while flying. The letter from TWU Local 556's executive board said. “In the spirit of bringing normalcy back to our front lines as aviation’s first responders, we ask that you consider lifting the federal mask mandate for airline travel and will move expeditiously to restore choice to aviation professionals and the flying public.”

President Biden is caught between conflicting demands that he tame rising consumer prices while banning Russian oil imports to punish Moscow for invading Ukraine, a sanction that would threaten even more inflation and raise pressure on allies with more dependence on oil imports. The U.S. said it is in active discussions with allies about a ban. Those talks come as the Biden administration has faced criticism for months over inflation levels that have reached 40-year highs, driven by surging demand, supply chain constraints and labor shortages. But rising energy costs are also among the biggest contributors to higher consumer prices, with oil, gas and other commodity prices soaring to the highest levels in years.

Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk dismissed calls by Russia for Ukraine to surrender Mariupol to the Russians, according to Pravda Ukraine. "There can be no talk of any surrenders, laying down of arms," Vereshchuk said, adding that they will "just open a corridor" for people to leave the city. The comments come after Russia called on Ukraine to surrender the city by 5 am on March 21 as the two sides negotiated a humanitarian corridor that would allow civilians to depart the city if they choose, according to reporting from RIA Novosti. Ukrainian authorities have continuously asked for such a corridor in the past, a request Russia has said the would grant but has yet to follow through on. Russian forces, who have the city surrounded, say those who stay will be “with the bandits.”

The researchers created a computer algorithm sussing out whether elements of their credit report — like a sudden, significant change in credit score — is linked to mortality. Previous research tells us that people who experience economic strains, like a sudden job loss, are more likely to take on debt, lose access to health care resources, and experience mental health crises compared to those who are gainfully employed. All of this leads to financial duress that can shorten a person’s life in the long run.

Uber is adding a surcharge on fares and deliveries in the U.S. and Canada in response to surging gas prices, the company said. Riders taking Uber trips will pay a fee of $0.45 to $0.55 per trip, and Uber Eats deliveries will include a $0.35 to $0.45 surcharge, the company said. The fees are temporary and will last for at least two months. The company said that the fees will go to drivers, who are responsible for paying for gas they use. The surcharges can vary based on trip distance and gas prices in each state. They won’t apply in New York City because drivers already received a 5.3% pay increase on March 1, accounting for the increase in gas costs, Uber said. The move comes as the gas prices around the country are hitting all-time highs and energy prices are skyrocketing because of the Russian war in Ukraine. On Sunday, a gallon of gas cost $4.009 on average in the U.S., the highest since 2008, according to data from AAA.
It's not just Uber. Hold on to your wallet because other industries may soon do the same. The cost of fuel impacts everything we buy. We're all getting nickel-and-dimed to death. At what point does it tank the economy? Should we all be bracing for the worst?

Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law Monday that would give Russian airlines the ability to seize foreign-owned airplanes so they can be re-deployed for domestic flights amid crippling sanctions that have negatively impacted its aviation industry. The law would allow the airlines to take and operate planes leased by foreign companies that have stopped businesses operations in the country over its invasion of Ukraine, the state-owned TASS news agency reported. The planes will be certified by certification centers and test laboratories, the news outlet reported. The move is an attempt to circumvent Western sanctions that have resulted in multiple countries, including the United States, closing their airspace to Russian airliners.

Get ready for the $10 tube of toothpaste. Colgate-Palmolive CEO Noel Wallace said at an industry conference that the household goods maker sees its new Optic White Pro Series toothpaste as the type of premium product "vital" to its ability to raise prices, which will help drive profit growth this year. His remarks come when many consumer products companies are hiking prices as much as they can to offset their own rising costs, a trend that could continue due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, whose economic risks include driving up gasoline prices. So far retailers and consumers seem largely unfazed by higher prices. But some lawmakers and consumer advocates argue that companies are excessively raising prices in order to fuel profits and return money to shareholders.
Prices keep going up with no end in sight. And the supply chain issues that will come from the war in Ukraine promise to make things worse.

BIDEN’S ENERGY DILEMMA
The Biden admin is now weighing “coordinated” action on Russian oil after demands from both Republicans and Democrats, as well as global partners. Secy Blinken said the U.S. is in “very active discussions” with allies about a ban, days after the White House said the U.S. doesn’t have a strategic interest in reducing the global energy supply. This weekend the Senate’s number two Dem, Dick Durbin, announced he’s backing the Manchin-Murkowski bipartisan bill to ban imports. Republicans have largely pointed back to the Keystone XL pipeline as a missed opportunity. It’s suspension, says GOP Senator Joni Ernst, put the U.S. “in this tenuous position with energy independence.” Not to mention, the debate concerning domestic production versus international dependence has only grown, as it now appears likely the U.S. will be buying oil from Iran following a renewed nuclear deal. WH Spokesperson Jen Psaki would only say, “there's not a deal at this point in time" and "if and when we get to that point, we can speak to that question.” Republicans, like Sen Marco Rubio slammed the idea: "Biden will not allow America to produce more of its own oil. But we are still buying oil from a war criminal in Russia and are apparently only days away from also buying oil from a terrorist government in Iran.” Dem Sen Chris Murphy weighed in on Fox News Sunday, saying “Russia, you know, has a relationship with Iran. Iran listens to Russia… It's unlikely you can do a deal without Russia being at the table.”

BIDEN ADMINISTRATION GIVES PROTECTION FROM DEPORTATION TO UKRAINIANS LIVING IN US.
Temporary Protected Status can be granted when there is ongoing armed conflict. The Biden administration on Thursday announced it is granting protection from deportation to Ukrainian nationals already in the United States, after calls to do so from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle. The Department of Homeland Security announced that Ukraine will be designated for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 18 months. TPS protects nationals of designated countries living in the U.S. from deportation if they are eligible and allows them to apply for work permits and to travel freely.

The Olympics ended on Feb. 20 and Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered troops into Ukraine on Feb. 24. Chinese officials in early February asked Russian officials to wait until the Winter Olympics in Beijing had concluded before sending troops into Ukraine, U.S. officials said, according to a report. A Western intelligence service collected the information before the invasion and the U.S. considers it credible, according to the New York Times. The intelligence reportedly shows that China had some knowledge of Russia's plans. The U.S. and its allies reportedly used the information to help determine when Russia might invade.

Secondhand smoke isn't believed to directly spread the virus itself, but if a smoker is infected with COVID, they may blow droplets carrying the virus when they exhale.

A priest has resigned from a Catholic Church in Phoenix, Arizona after it was determined he incorrectly performed thousands of baptisms for decades by changing one word.
Father Andres Arango resigned from St. Gregory Catholic Church in Phoenix after it was determined he used the words "We baptize you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit," instead of the correct phrase "I baptize you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit," according to Thomas J. Olmsted, the bishop of the Diocese of Phoenix.
"The issue with using ‘We’ is that it is not the community that baptizes a person, rather, it is Christ, and Him alone, who presides at all of the sacraments, and so it is Christ Jesus who baptizes," Olmsted said.

Economists expect to show that prices surged 7.3 percent in January from the year ago period, toppling the previous month's 39-year high of 7 percent, which would be the fastest increase in consumer prices since February 1982, when inflation hit 7.6 percent.

More than half of Americans said they had experienced more sleep disturbances during the pandemic, according to a March 2021 survey of more than 2,000 adults commissioned by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. About 57% said they had more trouble falling or staying asleep; 46% slept less at night and 36% said they had more disturbing dreams. “The stress and isolation of the pandemic, the reduction in physical activity, none of those are good for sleep,” says Daniel J.

FOREIGN AIRLINES CANCEL FLIGHTS TO UNITED STATES OVER CONCERNS THAT 5G CELLULAR SERVICE COULD MAKE FLYING UNSAFE
Several foreign airlines are canceling flights to the U.S. over concerns about 5G cellular service interference, despite a last-minute commitment from Verizon and AT&T to delay the deployment of the new networks near some airports. Japan Airlines, All Nippon Airways, and Emirates Airline said some flights to the U.S. will be suspended. Boeing notified Japan Airlines that 5G signals for U.S. Mobile phones "may interfere with the radio altimeter installed on the Boeing 777."
Captain and instructor pilot for a major airline for 17 years who has flew Boeing 737s and logged more than ten-thousand hours of flight time JAKE PAVELKA says could be a problem.

SUREFIRE SIGNS OMICRON IS IN YOUR BODY
If you feel like you know a lot of people who are coming down with COVID-19 these days, you're not alone. The highly contagious Omicron variant is, in the words of doctors, "everywhere" right now—it's accounting for 95% of new COVID cases, which are hitting all-time highs nationwide.
So how do you know if the symptoms you might be feeling are likely to be COVID, and what should you do then?

MADE IN AMERICA: SUPPLY CHAIN WOES PROMPT A NEW PUSH TO REVIVE U.S. FACTORIES
When visitors arrive at the office of America Knits in tiny Swainsboro, Ga., the first thing they see on the wall is a black-and-white photo that a company co-founder, Steve Hawkins, discovered in a local antiques store. It depicts one of a score of textile mills that once dotted the area, along with the workers that toiled on its machines and powered the local economy. The scene reflects the heyday — and to Mr. Hawkins, the potential — of making clothes in the rural South.
The shortage of microchips was a real wake-up call. Just 12 percent of all chips are made in America. Is the Biden Administration doing all it can to bring jobs and manufacturing back to U.S. soil?

Our Top Legal Stories Of The Week
TOPIC 1- HOW ALLEGATIONS OF ROMANCE WITH CONVICTED FELON GHISLANE MAXWELL MIGHT IMPACT LEGAL CASE FOR PRINCE ANDREW
According to friends and former royal protection officer, Prince Andrew may have once dated Ghislane Maxwell. A former palace cop says Maxwell became a regular visitor from 2001, the year Andrew and his sex accuse, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, were photographed in Maxwell’s London home.
TOPIC 2- QUEBEC PLANS TO HIT UNVACCINATED WITH A 'SIGNIFICANT' TAX
The 'health contribution' announced by Premier Legault would become the first such tax in Canada. The Quebec government wants to impose a “significant” financial penalty on the “small minority” of Quebecers who refuse to get vaccinated against COVID-19. Premier François Legault made the announcement — which would be a first in Canada — during a press conference. He said he was working on the tax with Finance Minister Eric Girard while also reviewing the measure’s legality.
TOPIC 3- A SOUTH DAKOTA MAN IS CHARGED AFTER SENIORS AT A COMMUNITY CENTER UNWITTINGLY EAT POT BROWNIES.
The stakes were high — and scary — at a South Dakota community center card game. A group of seniors inadvertently ate a batch of cannabis brownies brought by a 73-year-old woman who didn’t know that her adult son had baked them with THC butter. Police responded to several calls of a “possible poisoning” and found that all the patients had been playing cards at the Tabor Community Center and were “under the influence.”

The Supreme Court has stopped a major push by the Biden administration to boost the nation's COVID-19 vaccination rate, a requirement that employees at large businesses get a vaccine or test regularly and wear a mask on the job.
At the same time, the court is allowing the administration to proceed with a vaccine mandate for most health care workers in the U.S. The court’s orders Thursday came during a spike in coronavirus cases caused by the omicron variant.

On top of the loss and grief the pandemic has already caused, we’re now confronting a record surge of new infections: Well over than 250,000 cases a day on average over the past seven days, according to data from John Hopkins University. That eclipses the previous record set last January. The curve points steeply upward, which means we’re about to enter the third year of the pandemic with no end in sight. What sort of impact is that news likely to have on consumers and workers?

WHY THAT 9 P.M. EMAIL FROM THE BOSS IS MAKING YOU SICK. IS IT TIME FOR ‘RIGHT TO DISCONNECT’ LAWS?
During Danish Yusuf's morning routine, his work phone rarely rings and seldom is there an appointment with his Toronto insurance company staff. The lack of disruptions is no coincidence. Yusuf instructed staff not to plan meetings or send electronic communications early in the morning or after 5 p.m. years ago in hopes of helping staff relax and enjoy their personal lives. "I have a three-and-a-half-year-old daughter and people will not schedule a meeting with me between 8 and 9 a.m. because that's when I'm giving her breakfast, changing her and dropping her off to daycare," said the chief executive at Zensurance.
With so many people working remotely, the lines between office time and personal time have become blurred. Of course you don't need a government mandate to put something like this in place. Is it time for bosses to avoid after-hours emails and texts at all cost?

TOPIC 3- PRINCE ANDREW MAY SELL SWISS CHALET FOR $22 MILLION TO FUND LEGAL BILLS
The question of just how Prince Andrew might be paying his legal bills, or could fund any potential settlement with Virginia Roberts Giuffre, has been a topic of much debate recently.

The nation will need to respond deftly to both challenges without unduly damaging the economy. Striking the right balance won’t be easy. From the very first coronavirus shutdown, the economy’s health has hinged on mitigating the pandemic. “Change the course of COVID; change the course of the economy — full stop,” is the July 2020 tweet that’s still pinned to the top of Grant Thornton economist Diane Swonk’s Twitter feed. It becomes clear that we’re fast approaching a critical — and potentially dangerous — juncture on both fronts.
