[CHD] The nurse who administered the shots said 1-year-old Sa’Niya needed them to catch her up on vaccinations she missed at her 6-month appointment — a common but potentially dangerous recommendation, according to pediatricians interviewed by The Defender.
(KXAN) — Multiple people were injured following an overnight shooting Sunday in downtown Austin.
First responders said that the incident occurred at approximately 1 a.m. near the intersection of Sixth and Brazos Streets.
Austin Police Department officers responded to a high-priority call, according to an APD public information officer. Those officers found a gunshot victim, who had gotten into a pedicab, near Eighth Street and Brazos Street.
“The first officer on scene applied pressure to the wound, and within a minute, the rescue task force was there to apply a chest seal and then pressure to the entrance wound,” said an APD PIO during a briefing just before 3 a.m. Sunday. “That’s when we got multiple more calls saying that there were more victims inside a club on Sixth Street.” Read the rest at the link

It surprised a lot of people when he finally came out of the closet (2003) to announce he was GAY.

Down 2/3 from it's low entry. It's done.
What I like is how they're ganging up to blame Zeglar (who's blameable enough), distracting from the points that it was a crap idea with crap characters in a crap plot line, and then wasn't done well.
Or so I'm told.

I would expect Zeglar will only be the first target. The remainder of Mouse House that greenlit the project will find new opportunities elsewhere, eventually.
Perhaps at HULU or Netflix

Snow White and the Seven Ticket Sales.
Zeglar is definitely the....face...of this cascading failure, but others are catching flak, too, like Peter Dinklage for kicking the ladder out from under any little people who wanted the job.
And, it ran unopposed on a holiday week Spring Break. Well, until A Working Man came out this last weekend and won the box office with a quarter less theater options.
[FoxNews] The Hercules recovery vehicle is estimated to be encased in 2 meters of mud and is about 4 meters below the water's surface
US military crews, alongside Polish and Lithuanian teams, continue efforts to find four U.S. soldiers who went missing last week in Lithuania.
U.S. Navy divers have successfully attached two lines to hoist points on a sinking M88 Hercules armored recovery vehicle that was carrying four U.S. Army soldiers who disappeared early Tuesday during a training exercise near Pabradė, Lithuania.
The soldiers, based in Fort Stewart in Georgia, were riding in the vehicle on a scheduled maintenance mission to recover another U.S. Army vehicle in the training area when they disappeared.
After the second line was attached to a hoist point on the Hercules on Sunday, the Army said the vehicle could be anchored to prevent it from sinking further into the bog it was in.
"Engineers expect to start winching early this morning," the U.S. Army Europe and Africa said in a post on X. "The process is projected to take a significant amount of time and effort, as the terrain surrounding the peat bog remains challenging – but the rescue workers will not be deterred."
“The armored vehicle was pulled ashore at 4:40 a.m., the towing operation is complete, Lithuanian Military Police and US investigators continue their work,” Defense Minister Dovilė Šakalienė said Monday morning in a post on Facebook.

[Regnum] An earthquake with a magnitude of 7.1 was recorded off the coast of the Kingdom of Tonga. This was reported by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC).
Big ones by Tonga are bad news. There is a potential under water super volcano there. Last explosion not long ago put massive amounts of salt water extremely high in the atm. That's way more global warming than man has ever made and might be the only reason we are not heading for an Ice Age
According to the ECCC, the epicentre of the earthquake was 76 km south-east of the city of Pangai, and the source was located at a depth of 10 km. There were no reports of casualties or damage.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, on the morning of March 30, two more earthquakes were recorded - off the coast of Indonesia and in Myanmar with a magnitude of 5.1.
In both cases, there were no reports of damage or casualties. However, according to Vietnam+, when the next tremors began in Myanmar, many residents of Mandalay "screamed in panic and ran out into the streets."
On March 28, a powerful earthquake struck Myanmar, killing more than 1,700 people. There are also 3,400 known casualties and more than 300 fatalities. The magnitude of the earthquake, according to various estimates, ranged from 7.7 to 7.9. Eleven minutes after the first, a second earthquake occurred. The tremors caused destruction throughout almost the entire country. Many residential buildings, administrative buildings, schools, and hospitals collapsed. Underground oil pipelines and power lines were also damaged.
That evening, on the orders of Russian leader Vladimir Putin, two Russian Emergencies Ministry planes were sent to Myanmar to help eliminate the aftermath of the earthquake. Emergencies Ministry employees are working around the clock in the country's worst-hit area. Rescuers noted that there is still a chance of finding living people under the rubble.

[Regnum] An earthquake with a magnitude of 5.1 was recorded on the coast of Indonesia. This was reported by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Center.
According to seismologists, the epicenter of the earthquake was located 12 km southeast of the city of Banda Aceh, and the source was at a depth of 10 km.
There were no reports of casualties or damage.
On March 28, an earthquake was recorded in Myanmar. Its magnitude, according to various estimates, was between 7.7 and 7.9. Some time later, the first tremor was followed by a second one with a magnitude of 6.4. As a result of the raging elements, destruction was recorded throughout the country: many residential buildings, administrative buildings, schools, hospitals, and temples collapsed. Underground oil pipelines and power lines were also damaged.
According to the latest data, the death toll from the natural disaster has exceeded 1,600 people, and over 3,400 people have been injured.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, Russia sent two Emergencies Ministry planes to Myanmar with a combined team of 120 rescuers. The head of the combined team, Vorontsov, said that the specialists would work around the clock, in three shifts.
Tremors were also felt in Thailand, China, Bangladesh, Malaysia and Vietnam.
[WUNDERGROUND] By Monday 31 March snow may be coming down at 2"/hour about 6000' near all passes between Little Truckee Summit at SR 89 and Minaret Summit at SR 203.
Some passes will likely be closed for up to 12 hours. Other will require chains. Avalanches will be possible from mid Monday.
Greater Lake Tahoe area may get 1-2'; mountains will get more.

Snowed for 3 days in March, the week I was due to leave the mountains west of Denver. Five feet of powder. The turbo RAM would power thru it but the doors wouldn't open. Had to climb in and out the windows.
Snowpack is at about 90% of normal right now, and the storm has produced about .5 inches of rain in the Carson Valley so far(Valley floor elevation is around 4,800 ft elevation, Norther Sierra's around Tahoe top at at around 11,000 ft). Water here is entirely dependent on the Snowpack to recharge the aquifer and sustain the Carson River into the late summer as the 9 inches of annual rainfall are almost entirely in the late fall winter months. Late spring rain is actually a concern, "
"Whether the forecast atmospheric river to arrive on the coast sometime in the next few days will boost the snowpack in the Sierra Nevada or wash it all into the Carson Valley will depend entirely on the temperature.
"National Weather Service Hydrologist Nathan Patrick of the River Forecast Center said this earlier this week that if a storm is too warm, it could increase the speed of the spring thaw.
“Somewhat counter-intuitively, springtime precipitation falling as rain can sometimes be a negative,” Patrick said during the California-Nevada Drought & Climate Outlook Webinar on March 24. “It can melt snowpack more quickly with warm storms in the mountains, which isn’t desirable from a water supply perspective.”
A colder storm would be far better to preserve the snowpack.
“The preference would be for the snowpack to act as a natural reservoir, melting slowly,” Patrick said. “Substantial springtime precipitation can encourage smaller vegetation growth which will later dry out and produce fuel for fires. It’s a balancing issue of not wanting too much or too little precipitation over this time period.”
Irrigation season officially starts on Tuesday, but many ditches across Carson Valley are already starting to convey water from the river toward the fields.
Water in the Carson River isn’t potable, but if there’s enough to irrigate crops, ranchers won’t need to resort to pumping from the aquifer.
The snowpack provides virtually the only upstream storage on the Carson River."
[Texas Monthly] The New York-based firm got the job. When Viñoly passed away unexpectedly, Komati stepped in to carry out his vision: a two-hundred-by-two-hundred-foot exhibition hall that appears to float forty feet above the ground. "Wherever you are, you’re always looking up or surrounded by that block," Komati says. "It’s always reminding you of the incomprehensible nature of valor—the sheer force required to lift such a weight, both physically and metaphorically."
One of the biggest showstoppers is a restored Bell UH-1 Iroquois "Huey" medevac helicopter, the same kind flown by Patrick Brady in the Vietnam War. The museum was already two-thirds done when Chuck Carlock, a fellow Vietnam pilot and collector in Fort Worth, reached out about donating the aircraft. The only way to get it inside was via crane, but the exterior was already complete. Undeterred, Komati and the architectural team went to work removing part of the building so the helicopter could be installed and the exterior rebuilt. I wanted to post a similar article from the Dallas Morning News, but found this instead. The News article had more architecture stuff, and only a little politics - 'no public transit to the site’, and 'government slashing funding'. The News did however, observe this museum was all privately funded.
