Karen Fann saidthat national disapproval over the election investigation that found President Joe Biden victorious in Arizona did not factor into her decision. “I did my job. I stepped up, served my country, served my people,” Fann told AP. “It’s time for somebody else to step up now.” “It has been a privilege to advocate on behalf of Arizona citizens in my twelve years at the State Legislature and the honor of a lifetime to serve as Senate President,” Fann said in a statement....

Ducey, who is a Republican, took to Twitter on Friday to say the election outcome would not be decertified and that the law did not allow for decertification despite demands from Trump. The controversial audit found that President Joe Biden had won Maricopa county in line with the election results and three previous audits. It was conducted by Cyber Ninjas, a firm with no previous experience auditing elections. Trump issued a statement on Friday calling on Arizona to decertify the election results....

On his Twitter account, Ducey said that the curfew is being placed at the request of local leaders and “in coordination with state and local law enforcement.” It will stretch from at 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. each night until June 8. “This gives law enforcement an additional tool to prevent the lawlessness we’ve seen here and in cities nationwide. Police will be equipped to make arrests of individuals who are planning to riot, loot or cause damage and unrest,” Ducey wrote in another tweet....

Jim Stauffer donated his mother’s body to the Biological Resource Center (BRC) in Maricopa County, Arizona, in 2013 after she died aged 74. Doris Stauffer suffered from Alzheimer’s during the final years of her life. Doctors believed the disease may have mutated, as she did not have the usual Alzheimer’s gene, and they hoped to study her brain after her death. After neurologists said they could not accept the body, Jim Stauffer donated it to the BRC in the hopes her brain could still be used for scientific research....

The Center for Reproductive Rights and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Arizona are among the groups seeking an injunction against a fetal personhood provision included in a 2021 law. The provision would confer on fetuses, embryos and fertilized eggs the same rights as people who have already been born and could lead to prosecutions against women who have abortions. Challengers are concerned that women who have the procedure and healthcare professionals who provide it could be at risk of charges such as assault or child endangerment if personhood rights are conferred in this way....

The Korean youngster had surely suffered enough, after giving up the tying two-run homer with two out in the ninth inning (and, of course, the winning home run an inning later.) There can be no explanation for Brenly’s decision to call on an overtired and overwrought Kim again except mindless, managerial macho. Especially in the stadium where Yankee great Yogi Berra coined that immortal phrase deja vu all over again....

It happened four months ago. Not four days, not four weeks. Almost an entire season ago. “When I watch that game (a 69-60 Arizona victory),” says Arizona coach Sean Miller, “I see our team at an almost completely different place.” The entire college basketball landscape is in a different place. That Arizona team had forward Brandon Ashley around, and has since learned over the last six weeks to play without his 12 points and six rebounds a game....

The news was confirmed during an episode of the Xbox Podcast, where Arkane finally let the cat out of the bag. As noted before, though, this question has always lingered in community members’ minds. Sure, Deathloop and Dishonored seem very different on the surface. But, when you really dig into the supernatural abilities, as well as the architectural style of the two worlds, everything starts to fit together like puzzle pieces....

The bill dubbed the “Fairness in Women’s Sports Act” will force local schools and colleges to set up fixed male and female teams, and bars the creation of “coed” or “mixed” teams that could include transgender women and girls. State government bodies will also be barred from accepting complaints of gender bias against local schools that run sports teams expressly for those of the female sex. Other action against schools, such as opening investigations into gender bias, will also be blocked....

Line: North Carolina -4.5, Total: 157 (current NCAA Tournament spreads and totals) Arkansas Record: 27-8 ATS: 17-17 OVER/UNDER: 18-15 Overview: Arkansas failed to cover the 7.5-point spread in a narrow win over upset-minded Wofford in the second round, which was the third straight Razorbacks game that stayed UNDER the total. All eight losses for the Razorbacks were to power-five schools, but as an underdog, Arkansas is 4-3 ATS on the season....

Reed filed a civil suit against PDQ Arm and Prop company and its owner Seth Kenney on Wednesday, according to a complaint obtained by Deadline. Baldwin fired live rounds that killed Hutchins and wounded director Joel Souza during an on-set rehearsal last October. However, blame for the incident has been directed at many different parties amid an ongoing police investigation. Lawyers for Reed argued that the arms and prop supply company was liable for allegedly supplying the set with live ammunition in addition to “dummy rounds....

Charles Woolery allegedly robbed Dearborn Federal Savings Bank in Dearborn, Michigan, on March 2. Capital Counselor says three to four thousand bank robberies happen each year on average, but since 2018, those robberies have decreased in number. According to WDIV-TV, Woolery approached a bank teller and gestured to his hip to signify that he was armed. He handed her a note with the message: “Smile. Put all $10-$20-$50-$100 in bag no dye pack, no GPS, do not hit alarm til I leave or I will kill everyone....

A visit to ArRum shows how Islamic culture (or lifestyle) can coexist with a modern, Western youth culture. Nestled among the chic and trendy bars, clubs and restaurants of London’s financial district, ArRum displays the best of Islamic art and design: whitewashed walls, a mosaic courtyard fountain, a richly stocked library (most of the books are in Arabic or about Islam) and Islamic art. No alcohol can be found, but the trendy (and health-conscious) juice bar is more “today” anyway, as is the restaurant’s “fusion” menu....

The Gunners have enjoyed a welcome return to form over recent weeks, going unbeaten through their last seven fixtures in all competitions – a run which has included six victories. Arsenal 33/1 to win PL with dabblebet Arsene Wenger’s side have moved to within six points of the summit in the English top-flight as a result, with confidence and belief returning around Emirates Stadium. Lauren, though, believes that his former club will once again fall short in the battle for domestic supremacy, stretching their wait for the crown to 14 years....

The Blues rather surprisingly took the decision to part with a two-time Premier League title winner in 2017, with Antonio Conte opting to freeze the Spain international out of his plans. In the wake of his return to Atletico Madrid, those at Stamford Bridge have struggled to build on their past successes – with Alvaro Morata struggling to fill some big boots. Arsenal, meanwhile, have also regressed and will be charged with the task of trying to contain former domestic foe Costa in a Europa League semi-final second leg clash on Thursday....

Thousands of Chileans to march for Alexis to ditch Arsenal The Chile international remains fully committed to the club in each game but Goal understands that the 28-years-old has concerns about the level of ambition at the club, a facet which was brought into question once again during Wednesday night’s dismal Champions League drubbing away to Bayern Munich in Germany. Reports of a dressing room bust-up between Sanchez and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain after the match in Munich have been denied by manager Arsene Wenger but the frustrations of both players were evident on the pitch as Bayern scored five past a hapless Arsenal defence....

The 4-3 comeback provided a glimpse of what most Gooners have become accustomed to over the years; excitement in attack, fear in defence and a continuous sense that their team are about to concede when the opposition are in Arsenal’s half. Huddersfield 6/4 to beat Newcastle Saturday evening’s game against Stoke conjured up more of the same as far as Arsenal were concerned, with Wenger’s side dominant in possession yet unable to finish the chances they created before being caught out defensively....

The visitors appeared on course to make it five wins in a row in all competitions thanks to Per Mertesacker’s first-half goal - only to concede twice in a dramatic final 20 minutes at Vicarage Road. Newcastle 7/2 to beat Southampton Deeney equalised from the spot after Hector Bellerin was adjudged to have fouled Richarlison inside the area, a decision Arsene Wenger branded “scandalous” in his post-match interview ....

Wenger stunned the footballing world on Friday when he announced he will leave the Premier League club at the end of the season after nearly 22 years in charge. Podolski - who spent two-and-a-half years working under the Frenchman at the Emirates Stadium - is intrigued to see what direction his former employers go in as they begin their search for a new manager. The World Cup winner believes Carlo Ancelotti is an ideal candidate if Arsenal, who appointed German Sven Mislintat as head of recruitment last November, want someone with experience - but could see them instead looking for a younger option to take charge....
