The production at the center of Hutchison’s lawsuit took place at a luxe Spanish home where the cast and crew were also staying for the duration, according to the complaint. It says that Hutchison, given her two decades of experience, took it upon herself to counsel Zaawaadi before her first-ever anal sex scene.

Zaawaadi had informed Hutchison that she had taken three Imodium tablets, an anti-diarrheal, to avoid any unpleasant accidents during the scene, the complaint states. It says Hutchison told Zaawaadi that three Imodium exceeded the recommended dose, and could cause dehydration “and other complications,” so she gave Zaawaadi two natural probiotic pills and two tablets of Senokot, a natural laxative, to help counter any potential ill-effects.

“These over-the-counter remedies were to be taken immediately after the scene to prevent issues associated with anal sex scenes like tearing, yeast infections, and bowel obstructions,” the complaint states.

As Harry Caray’s Chicago Cubs career was celebrated Thursday with the 26th “Toast to Harry Caray” sponsored by his namesake restaurant, his legacy on the South Side continues to be overlooked by his former team.

It makes sense that the restaurant is more focused on his Cubs years, when Caray became a national figure thanks to day baseball and the WGN-TV superstation. That’s the Harry Caray whom Will Ferrell imitated on “Saturday Night Live,” a caricature of a befuddled old man with a microphone that drew laughs even from those who had no idea who Caray was.

But that wasn’t the same Harry Caray whose decision to leave the White Sox booth in 1981 became a red-letter day in the long and storied history of the Cubs-Sox rivalry — and continues to resonate 43 years later amid the controversy over current Sox broadcaster John Schriffen calling out the “haters” for criticism of the 6-25 team.

Caray probably would’ve been fingered as one of those alleged “haters” back when the Sox were awful and no one was coming to Comiskey Park. My friend John Owens pointed to a YouTube video of Caray’s final Sox TV broadcast in 1981 — posted by media colleague Jeff Agrest of the Sun-Times — in which Caray tells viewers after a commercial break that he counted only 15 people sitting in the center-field bleachers on a sunny afternoon.

That kind of raw honesty is no longer acceptable to modern marketing executives, who prefer their handpicked broadcasters to sugarcoat attendance problems while focusing on the positives. Watch any major-league broadcast in a nearly empty ballpark and you won’t hear a word about it.

Caray was a rarity among broadcasters, revered by fans of three organizations: the Cubs, Sox and St. Louis Cardinals, who host the Sox for a three-game series starting Friday at Busch Stadium. He was a unique personality and the so-called “Mayor of Rush Street” — a legendary baseball salesman and best friend of the team’s beer sponsor, from Falstaff to Budweiser.

In his Sox days he could be the team’s best marketing tool, as he was in 1977 during the season of the “South Side Hit Men.” Or he could be the owner’s worst nightmare, placating the fan base by offering blunt criticisms of the team, its manager and struggling players. His legacy is celebrated at Wrigley Field every home game, while the Sox virtually ignore the fact he spent 11 seasons on the South Side.

Caray’s exuberance on home run calls was not demonstrably different from Schriffen’s calls. But Schriffen’s now-infamous call on Andrew Benintendi’s walk-off home run Saturday night — calling out “the haters” before asking fans to “staaand up” — has divided Sox Nation, or what’s left of it.

Can you imagine Caray yelling: “It might be, it could be, it is … holy cow, take that, you haters.”

Maybe this is what Sox Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf prefers. He was the one, after all, who basically pushed Jason Benetti out of the Sox TV booth, and some of those angry fans have aimed their barbs directly at Reinsdorf’s ownership of the team. He also pushed Caray out of the Sox booth, though the animosity was mutual.

Recall that Reinsdorf once said: “My biggest mistake was not firing Harry Caray and Jimmy Piersall before the first day of the 1981 season. There was an atmosphere of negativism that made it hard to win and difficult to attract good ballplayers.”



That rebuilding ‘81 team was managed by a young Tony La Russa, whom Caray and Piersall frequently criticized for losses. The two broadcasters no doubt contributed to the wrath La Russa received from Sox fans in his early days.

“Fans like Harry and I, so we never changed,” Piersall told me in 2014. “We were entertainers for a last-place ballclub. And let me tell you, that wasn’t easy. You’d hear Harry with bases loaded cry, ‘He paaaaaapped it up.’ ”

After Reinsdorf’s group of investors bought the Sox from Bill Veeck, he called Caray and Piersall into his office to complain about their treatment of the manager.

“Reinsdorf said to us in a meeting, ‘You guys are always second-guessing La Russa,’” Piersall recalled. “Harry said, ‘We don’t second-guess. We first-guess.’”

La Russa went on to become a Hall of Fame manager, while Caray thrived after his move to WGN and the Cubs. But La Russa and Caray never buried the hatchet.

“Hell, no,” La Russa told me during his induction weekend in Cooperstown, N.Y. “The first slice he took (at me) was ‘Bill (Veeck) was too cheap to hire a real manager.’ There’s probably a lot of truth to that. But Harry liked to pick on lambs, and I was a lamb.”

Former Tribune Co. executive Jim Dowdle hired Caray in ‘81 over the objections of the board of directors.

“Being born and raised on the South Side, I learned that you can move from south to north,” Dowdle once told me. “You just can’t move north to south. Harry’s enthusiasm was overwhelming, and one thing Cub fans have is enthusiasm. How could you not like someone with so much enthusiasm?”

But the stuffy Tribune Co. board didn’t want a powerful broadcaster criticizing the owners if the team was bad, which it definitely was in ‘81. Dowdle told Caray of their objections after asking the attorneys to leave the room.

“I said, ‘Harry, you can’t be running up and down Rush Street,’” Dowdle told Tribune baseball columnist Jerome Holtzman. “’And you can’t be as controversial as you have been. This is the Tribune Co. You have to have a lower profile.’

“And Harry said, ‘I haven’t got as far as I am today by not listening to the guy in charge. If you don’t mind, I might disagree with you and give you my opinion. But you have the last say.’”

While Caray seldom held back as the Sox broadcaster, he toned down his criticisms when he changed teams. But he became the face of the team and beloved by Cubs fans. In 1997, in what would be Caray’s final season, the Cubs started 0-14 and were out of contention before the ivy bloomed. Caray became one of the only reasons to watch.

“It’s Wrigley Field and Harry Caray and the whole atmosphere around the ballpark,” Cubs manager Jim Riggleman said that May. “When the tourists come to town, Wrigley Field is one of the stops on the tour. Harry does so much for this ballclub, promoting it on TV around the country.”

Caray, who died in February 1998, turned into a kinder, gentler announcer on the North Side, and that’s the one who was celebrated Thursday by the restaurant, his fans and old friends.

But maybe a glass will be raised on the South Side, too, in memory of a broadcaster who called it like it was.

With the warm weather spring brings, motorcycle season will be in full swing. The Governor's Traffic Safety Bureau is reminding riders this month that it is much safer to ride with a helmet than with your hair blowing in the wind.

Iowa experiences higher rates of fatalities for motorcyclists yet they make up a small portion of vehicle operators on the road, according to the GTSB.

May is Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month and the GTSB shared data on the high rates of motorcycle fatalities in the state of Iowa.

"Whether you are on two wheels, four wheels, or more, it’s everyone’s responsibility to practice safe habits and Share the Road," GTSB stated in a news release.

Iowa's motorcycle fatality rate is 10 times higher than the national average. Over the last five years, 74% of people who died on a motorcycle were not wearing a helmet. Meanwhile, the national average is 38%.

In 2023, 63 people were killed in motorcycle crashes in Iowa and 11 have been killed so far in 2024 alone, according to the Iowa Department of Transportation.

The University of Iowa College of Dentistry and Dental Clinics has been ranked by the U.S. Career Institute as one of the 10 best in the country.

The U.S. Career Institute rankings assess the quality of healthcare fields like dentistry schools based on several key metrics, including academic reputation, employer reputation, citations per paper, H-index citations, and international research network. These weighted factors were used to create an index that scored institutions out of 100 to determine which university provides the best dental education.

The University of Iowa's dental school was ranked ninth in the country.

The University of Michigan emerged as the top-ranked institution with a score of 84.2. The UI is tied with with Tufts University and The Ohio State University, with an index score of 67.8.

Iowa's dental school dates back 140 years​

There are more than 60 dental schools in the United States, offering degrees such as Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) or Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) and advanced education programs for other dental specialties.


The College of Dentistry at the University of Iowa was established in 1882, making it one of the oldest dental schools in the United States. The college emphasizes hands-on clinical training, providing students with opportunities to gain practical experience as well as being a leader in dental research.

“I am very proud to see the University of Iowa College of Dentistry recognized as a top dental school in the nation. Our students, faculty, and staff prioritize educating the next generation of dentists, providing high-quality, patient-centered care, researching new breakthroughs in dentistry, and expanding oral health care access to all Iowans," said Clark Stanford, University of Iowa Dean of the College of Dentistry. "To be recognized as one of the best, we need to excel in each of these areas, and we are fortunate to have the best people here in Iowa City to make that happen.”

Wow. Liberal stupidity on parade. How about just focus on dad's in the house??? How about two income families.

Not blaming everyone else for their poor decisions.

As soon as Collin Davis found out his ex-partner was planning to travel to Colorado to have an abortion in late February, the Texas man retained a high-powered antiabortion attorney — who court records show immediately issued a legal threat.

Cut through the 2024 election noise. Get The Campaign Moment newsletter.

If the woman proceeded with the abortion, even in a state where the procedure remains legal, Davis would seek a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding the abortion and “pursue wrongful-death claims against anyone involved in the killing of his unborn child,” the lawyer wrote in a letter, according to records.

Now, Davis has disclosed his former partner’s abortion to a state district court in Texas, asking for the power to investigate what his lawyer characterizes as potentially illegal activity in a state where almost all abortions are banned.



The previously unreported petition was submitted under an unusual legal mechanism often used in Texas to investigate suspected illegal actions before a lawsuit is filed. The petition claims Davis could sue either under the state’s wrongful-death statute or the novel Texas law known as Senate Bill 8 that allows private citizens to file suit against anyone who “aids or abets” an illegal abortion.
The decision to target an abortion that occurred outside of Texas represents a potential new strategy by antiabortion activists to achieve a goal many in the movement have been working toward since Roe v. Wade was overturned: stopping women from traveling out of state to end their pregnancies. Crossing state lines for abortion care remains legal nationwide.
The case also illustrates the role that men who disapprove of their partners’ decisions could play in surfacing future cases that may violate abortion bans — either by filing their own civil lawsuits or by reporting the abortions to law enforcement.



Under Texas law, performing an abortion is a crime punishable by up to a lifetime in prison and up to $100,000 in civil penalties. Women seeking abortions cannot be charged under the state’s abortion restrictions, but the laws target anyone who performs or helps to facilitate an illegal abortion, including those who help distribute abortion pills.
Davis’s petition — filed under Texas’s Rule 202 by Jonathan Mitchell, a prominent antiabortion attorney known for devising new and aggressive legal strategies to crack down on abortion — follows a lawsuit filed last spring by another Texas man, Marcus Silva, who is attempting to sue three women who allegedly helped his ex-wife obtain abortion pills.

Follow Election 2024
“Mr. Davis is considering whether to sue individuals and organizations that participated in the murder of his unborn child,” Mitchell, widely known as the architect of Senate Bill 8, wrote in Davis’s complaint in March.



Davis’s petition includes no evidence of illegal activity. Davis’s former partner ultimately obtained her abortion in Colorado, Davis claims in the court documents. Mitchell suggests in the petition that people who helped her procure the abortion could be found liable.
Antiabortion advocates have tried various tactics to dissuade women from traveling out of state for abortions. Idaho has passed a law making it illegal for someone to help a minor leave the state for an abortion without parental consent — which is currently blocked by the courts — and Tennessee is pursuing similar restrictions. Several Texas cities and counties have passed local ordinances attempting to stop women seeking abortions from using key portions of high-traffic highways.
Mitchell said in a statement that abortions that occur outside Texas can be targets for civil litigation.



“Fathers of aborted fetuses can sue for wrongful death in states with abortion bans, even if the abortion occurs out-of-state,” he wrote. “They can sue anyone who paid for the abortion, anyone who aided or abetted the travel, and anyone involved in the manufacture or distribution of abortion drugs.”
Molly Duane, a senior staff attorney with the Center for Reproductive Rights, described Mitchell’s statement and general approach as misleading “fearmongering.”
“People need to understand that it is not a crime to leave Texas or any other state in the country for an abortion,” said Duane, who is working with lawyers from the firm Arnold & Porter to represent the woman and others targeted in the Davis case. “I don’t want people to be intimidated, but they should be outraged and alarmed.”

Duane described the woman’s relationship with Davis as “toxic and harmful.”


Davis — who claims in the petition to have helped conceive what he calls his “unborn child” — did not respond to requests for comment. Mitchell declined to comment on Duane’s description of the relationship.
Abortion rights advocates say these types of legal actions amount to “vigilante justice” designed to intimidate people who have done nothing wrong. Duane and other lawyers representing the woman asked the court to redact the names of those involved from the public court filings, out of a concern for their privacy and safety.
The judge agreed to seal the original petition with the identifying information.

“The document at issue contains confidential and sensitive information including the Respondents’ full names ... and sensitive allegations about health care that the Respondents have a substantial interest in keeping confidential,” the judge wrote in an order signed Wednesday.


Over the past two years, many antiabortion activists have grown frustrated by what they see as a lack of enforcement of abortion bans — particularly as abortion pills become more widely available in antiabortion states because of growing online and community-based pill networks.
Some antiabortion advocates are searching for a way to crack down.
“You have laws being ignored systematically — so what are we going to do about it?” said John Seago, president of Texas Right to Life, the state’s largest antiabortion group. The pill networks, he added, “can and should be prosecuted.”

Several district attorneys in conservative areas told The Post that abortion laws are difficult to enforce in practice, largely because they have no clear way to find out about these cases.
“First you would have to have some sort of complaining party … then law enforcement would have to do a full investigation,” said Kent Volkmer, county attorney for Pinal County in Arizona, where the Republican-led legislature has voted to repeal an 1864 abortion law. “I think it’s extremely unlikely that an abortion-related criminal charge would ever be submitted to our office.”


If one of these cases did surface, Volkmer said, it would probably be reported by an employee of a doctor’s office who was aware of the abortion — or by the “purported father.”

Volkmer added that, because of his office’s policy to only prosecute cases with a reasonable likelihood of conviction, he would only anticipate prosecuting what he characterized as an “extreme” situation, such as an abortion that occurred late in the third trimester.
In the Davis case, Mitchell is attempting to depose the woman who had the abortion, along with several other people he writes may be “complicit” in the abortion. If deposed, they would be asked about others involved in the abortion, including any abortion funds or any other entities that provided financial support, according to court records. They would also have to provide all documentation relevant to the abortion.


“Mr. Davis expects to be able to better evaluate the prospects for legal success after deposing [the people listed], and discovering the identity of their co-conspirators and accomplices,” Mitchell wrote in the complaint, which he filed on March 22.
Davis is now awaiting a decision from the state district court.
While the vast majority of Texas abortion funds stopped providing funding for out-of-state abortions after Roe was overturned — concerned for their legal risk amid vague laws they worried might allow prosecutors to target them — many resumed operations in the spring of 2023, reassured by a court ruling that has temporarily blocked some prosecutors from going after people who help Texans obtain abortions across state lines.
“I want people to know we don’t think there’s anything illegal about helping someone leave the state for an abortion,” said Duane, with the Center for Reproductive Rights. “These are Jonathan Mitchell … tactics to discourage people.”

President Biden will award the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Friday to a host of prominent Americans, including several of his most important political allies like former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, former Secretary of State John F. Kerry and Representative James E. Clyburn of South Carolina.
With an election six months away, Mr. Biden assembled a list of 19 people to honor that was heavy with major Democratic Party figures and others he has worked with over the years, including former Vice President Al Gore and former Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg of New York. The one well-known Republican to be honored is former Senator Elizabeth Dole of North Carolina.
“These 19 Americans built teams, coalitions, movements, organizations and businesses that shaped America for the better,” the White House said in a statement announcing the awardees. “They are the pinnacle of leadership in their fields. They consistently demonstrated over their careers the power of community, hard work and service.”
Mr. Biden will present the medals at a White House ceremony on Friday afternoon. The medal is the nation’s highest civilian award, first established in its current form by President John F. Kennedy and meant to honor “any person who has made an especially meritorious contribution” to national security, world peace or “cultural or other significant public or private endeavors,” as the original executive order put it.

Aside from political recipients, the president selected a handful of well-known figures from the worlds of civil rights, sports, entertainment and space exploration.
Among the honorees will be Clarence B. Jones, a civil rights activist who helped draft the “I Have a Dream” speech delivered by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at the March on Washington in 1963; Opal Lee, an educator who in 2016 at age 89 walked from her home in Texas to Washington to lobby to to make Juneteenth a federally recognized holiday marking the end of slavery; and Judy Shepard, who helped found the Matthew Shepard Foundation to combat anti-gay hate crimes after her son was brutally murdered in 1998.
Others to be recognized on Friday include Rev. Gregory J. Boyle, a Jesuit priest and the founder of Homeboy Industries, the gang-intervention and rehabilitation program active in Los Angeles; and Teresa Romero, the president of the United Farm Workers and the first Latina to lead a national union.

The cultural and athletic figures to be honored will be Michelle Yeoh, the first Asian to win the Academy Award for best actress; Katie Ledecky, the seven-time Olympic gold medal winner and most decorated female swimmer in history; and Phil Donahue, one of the pioneers of daytime talk shows.
Mr. Biden also selected a couple of trailblazing figures from the space field: the astronaut Ellen Ochoa, the first Hispanic woman to leave the planet and second female director of NASA’s Johnson Space Center; and the astronomer Jane Rigby, the chief scientist of the James Webb Space Telescope.

Three awardees will receive the medal posthumously: Medgar Evers, the civil rights leader whose murder in 1963 shocked the nation and galvanized the movement to end racial discrimination; Jim Thorpe, the first Native American to win an Olympic gold medal; and former Senator Frank R. Lautenberg, Democrat of New Jersey, a longtime colleague of Mr. Biden’s in Congress.
The ceremony on Friday will be a chance for Mr. Biden to thank certain allies who helped him at key moments. Ms. Pelosi, who still represents California in the House after stepping down as speaker, was critical to passing some of the most important legislation of the Biden presidency, including programs to rebuild infrastructure, combat climate change, lower prescription drug costs and raise corporate taxes.
Mr. Kerry, the Democratic presidential nominee in 2004, served with Mr. Biden in the Senate for years and as secretary of state during President Barack Obama’s administration when Mr. Biden was vice president. Until recently, Mr. Kerry served as Mr. Biden’s special envoy for climate.
Mr. Clyburn, a longtime member of the House Democratic leadership, may have been more important than any other single ally in propelling Mr. Biden to the White House with his well-timed endorsement in the 2020 Democratic primaries that turned around the campaign.
Among those Mr. Biden beat that year for the nomination was Mr. Bloomberg, the billionaire former three-term mayor, who endorsed Mr. Biden when he dropped out and has been an ally on shared priorities like climate change.

Like Mr. Biden, Mr. Gore is a former senator who served as vice president for eight years. Since leaving office, he has shared a Nobel Peace Prize for his work on climate change. But he also serves as a reminder of the tradition of conceding elections after a loss, a pointed jab at former President Donald J. Trump, who just this week again refused to commit to accepting the results of this year’s election if he loses.
Mr. Gore won the national popular vote in 2000 but lost a razor-thin contest in Florida by just 537 votes to give the Electoral College edge to George W. Bush, a Republican. After a Supreme Court ruling ended the recount in Florida, Mr. Gore made a gracious concession to Mr. Bush — and did not try to use his role as vice president to overturn the results as Mr. Trump tried to pressure his own vice president, Mike Pence, to do in 2020.
Mr. Biden’s one nod across the aisle on the medal list is Ms. Dole, who served as secretary of transportation for President Ronald Reagan, secretary of labor for President George H.W. Bush and president of the American Red Cross before winning election to the Senate from North Carolina in 2002.
Her own campaign for the presidency started with much promise but flamed out before the Republican primaries began in 2000. Her husband, former Senator Robert J. Dole of Kansas, was the party’s 1996 presidential nominee, losing the general election to Bill Clinton, a Democrat. Mr. Dole was the only living Republican presidential nominee to support Mr. Trump for president and died at 98 in 2021.
The Elizabeth Dole Foundation released a statement on Friday thanking Mr. Biden for the honor: “The foundation deeply appreciates President Biden’s decision to bestow this award upon Senator Dole, celebrating her lifetime of leadership and service and rightly placing her among those extraordinary Americans who have changed the course of history.”

Probably just coincidence to current Hamas supporting student protestors.
