- I'm walking up with one item and you (with 15+ items) turns and says, "You can go ahead in front of me."
- I'm approaching an intersection with my right blinker on and you, who is going straight, moves over to the left lane so I can turn right unimpeded.
- You stop with enough distance for me to exit the parking lot instead of blocking the entrance/exit.
- You get off your rump and come help me set up the team canopy. I'm the team manager and setting up the canopy and chairs (by myself) isn't part of my job description. I'm doing it because it's the right thing to do as a fellow parent.

I keep seeing these stories... but is she changing the sport or is it just her being one of the best of all time? I guess time will tell, but it may be we're witnessing a really rare phenomenon. (rather than one that's going to totally change the sport)
I don't know that we'll see anyone with her game anytime soon.

Caitlin Clark is 1 of 1: 'We've never seen a woman play like this'
It's rare for someone to come along and change how a sport is played. That's what Clark, who passed Pete Maravich's scoring record Sunday, has done.

POLL: MOST "Presidential" Recent Candidates

However you want to measure "presidential." Pick up to 5 of the recent contenders for the White House that you think are the most presidential.
I would have included Bill Clinton and Bush 41 to round out the field of major candidates, and would have liked to include folks like Ross Perot and Ralph Nader, as well, but the poll function only allows 10 options. Feel free to write in any of those after you have voted on the top 10.
Be sure to vote on the "least presidential" poll, too, which is here:

So much for the Democrats supporting Ukraine. Former Democratic Presidential candidate and Secretary of State Kerry states what he actually feels.
“I believe that Russia has the ability to be able to make enormous changes if it really wanted to. I mean, if Russia has the ability to wage a war illegally and invade another country, they ought to be able to find the effort to be responsible on the climate issue,” Kerry said.

Judge: Iowa hospice program told worker to ‘let people die’
- By cigaretteman

An Iowa judge has awarded jobless benefits to a hospice worker who allegedly quit after being told to let patients die rather than provide them with services.
State records indicate that in October 2023, social worker Alisha Ebert of Janesville began working for a Cedar Falls hospice program run by Compassus, a national company with facilities in four Iowa cities.
In December, Ebert resigned and subsequently applied for unemployment benefits. A hearing on the request was held on Feb. 15, with Ebert and her husband providing testimony. Compassus did not participate in the hearing.
Administrative Law Judge Daniel Zeno presided over the hearing and according to his factual findings, Ebert’s managers had “told her to make certain patients a lower priority in the hopes that the patients would die before Ms. Ebert was able to provide service to the patients.” As a result of that alleged directive, Ebert concluded that her morals and those of her employer were not in alignment, Zeno found.
Ebert continued to work for the company, but allegedly struggled in the job because of the high caseload and the amount of driving required for the job, Zeno found, noting that there was testimony that Ebert had almost twice the caseload as other social workers. When the situation at Compassus didn’t improve, Ebert resigned, giving the company one week’s notice.
Based on the testimony provided at the hearing, Zeno concluded Ebert was entitled to unemployment benefits, ruling that her working conditions were intolerable.
“It is reasonable to the average person that Ms. Ebert should not have to work in an environment where her manager at a job providing care for people in hospice would tell Ms. Ebert to essentially let people die instead of providing them with care,” Zeno stated in his ruling. “Ms. Ebert’s job ended when she quit because of her working conditions, and Ms. Ebert has established that her working conditions were intolerable and detrimental.”
Calls to Compassus’ Cedar Falls office and to the company’s corporate office in Tennessee were not returned on Monday.
